On December 13, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Brooklyn Nets against the Detroit Pistons, Harden ushered in the opportunity to rest. Harden's rotation also directly exposed the Nets' problems, and in the second quarter of the game, when Durant returned to the bench for only 6 minutes, the Nets were beaten 13-0 by the Pistons. Although, after 4 quarters of competition, the Nets competed for the 116-104 Pistons, and won two consecutive games. However, we can see that after the Nets lacked Harden, Durant needed to be both a father and a mother on the court, and he was really tired and wanted to throw up. Imagine Harden and Durant are out at the same time, and the Nets will face a collapse. This problem really deserves Nash's attention and is working on solving it.
