If it weren't for the Nets' inability to play because of multiple core rotations, Griffin might not be able to return to the team rotation lineup for a long time, and it would be difficult for him to regain his value in the game. But fortunately, he got such an opportunity, successfully returned to the starting, and Griffin did not waste this opportunity, he seized it very well, played an extremely good performance in the game, to a large extent to help the team, in the past two games, he became the team's inner offensive and defensive pillar, Durant's side of the good helper, the past two games the team can win, Griffin made a very big contribution.
Griffin has been working hard to train his outside shooting ability after falling out of the team rotation, but also improved his ability to fight the end of the basket, and he has been waiting for the opportunity to return to the team rotation. With several players unable to play, Griffin finally waited for this opportunity, he was reactivated by Nash, and became the team's starting center.
In the first game against the Raptors after returning to the start, Griffin played 30 minutes, with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals on 4-of-6 shooting, and his personal performance was comprehensive. In the second game against Philadelphia, Griffin once again handed over 17 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, back in the two games after the start, Griffin scored 30 points, while also 14 rebounds and 8 assists, personal shooting rate of 50%, the performance is efficient.
In the past two games, Griffin's presence on the court is very strong, and he can also grasp the outside shot, and the empty cut score under the basket has also improved, and the efficiency on the defensive end is also improving. When Griffin returned to the start after being abandoned by the team for many games, he proved his worth with his performances and gave the team a lot of help, and his performance in the game was also recognized by the team's head coach Nash.
In the final moments of the game, Nash will keep Griffin on the court and let him play an important role, although in many cases, Griffin's shooting is not efficient enough, but Nash will still let Griffin partner Durant and other players to play, let them end the game.
In addition, when Nash talked about Griffin's return to the starting lineup, Nash also praised Griffin's competitive spirit and praised griffin's attitude to the game. From being abandoned to winning Nash's approval to following the team to the end of the game in the final moments of the game, Griffin used his performance on the field to justify himself, he can still continue to help the team in the game, he is a player who can make the team better.
At the beginning of the new season, the Nets also wanted Griffin to serve as the team's starting center, and the situation did give Griffin a lot of opportunities to prove himself. But unfortunately, Griffin's performance at the beginning of the season was too bad, the offensive and defensive ends were not online, the outside line could not score goals, the opportunity could not be grasped, it was difficult to give the team help in the game, he was hidden by Nash, which is also a very normal thing, after all, Ade's performance this season is very good, he started in place of Griffin, which is also beyond reproach.
In the absence of many players, Griffin seized the opportunity to still be able to help the team in the game, from this aspect, it is enough to see that Griffin proved that he still has oil and can play a good performance in the game. In the subsequent games of the new season, with other players able to play, it is worth looking forward to whether Griffin's recent excellent performances can help him get back to the rotation.
