On December 13, Beijing time, the Nets temporarily led the Pistons 60-57 at halftime, and in the last attack of the half, Durant and Mills exchanged 4 passes on the strong side, and finally Mills hit a three-pointer, indicating what is the problem?
Durant had 22 points and four assists in the half
The Nets' final attack of the half, due to sufficient time and the limited offensive method of the team, as shown in the picture, Durant and Mills are two-man on the left side: Mills hanging pass Durant outside the three-point line; Pistons packing, Durant hit the ground and then passing back to Mills outside the three-point line; the Pistons can quickly return to the defense, Mills will hang Durant again, the Pistons will clamp again, Durant will pass back to Mills outside the three-point line...
Durant and Mills conduct 4 times
The two went through a total of four rounds of conduction, and the Pistons defense finally had a hole, and Mills hit a three-pointer as shown.
The problem illustrated by this screen is:
1. Durant and Mills are both selfless, facing the final attack, both looking for the most suitable opportunity.
2. Although the Pistons have limited strength, they defend very hard.
3. Harden is absent, and the Nets' offensive routine is more single, leaving only Durant, Aldridge and Mills, three strong hits or one combination.
The above problem is reflected in the game, Durant in the second quarter of the rest of the 6 minutes, Frank Jackson broke out to score 12 points, the Pistons once completed the rebound at 42-39, Durant returned, a single quarter of 12 points and 2 assists to lead, the Nets can lead again in the half.
Throughout the first half, Durant had 22 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal; Mills had 14 points and 5 assists; Aldridge had 13 points and 4 rebounds, and the three of them carried the Nets to get a one-goal lead, further confirming the impact of Harden's absence, without his "chef", the Nets could not present an offensive feast.
