On January 6, Beijing time, although today's NBA games are not all over, the news headlines of No.1 were locked early. Because Ou Shenxian has returned after a long absence since he was injured in the division final last season.
Although the evaluation of Owen has been mixed in recent years, there is no doubt about his personal ability, otherwise there would not have been the sentence "The world only knows kuri, but I don't know the euclidean immortal!" "It has been passed down in the mouths of fans.
Choosing to face the Pacers today, the Nets also want to pinch this potential little brother in the East, Irving's strong return, Nash as the head coach is still very relaxed, the big three sweat will take down the Pacers' hard bones.
Although the game was won, Nets fans still have a lot of worries, because after three quarters of the game, a look at the Nets' data, there are only 4 three-pointers in the account. You must know that whether it is Durant or Harden, Irving casually take out one, can do a personal three-quarter 4 three-pointers, and now the whole team only has 4 three-pointers. No wonder the first three quarters of the game were hammered by the Pacers. Stephens is extremely active as a bench, and one person is equivalent to the Nets' three-pointers. If Finson had been in his seven teens, the guitar-playing masterpiece might have appeared in every section.
Throughout the game, basketball is still not lacking offense, the third quarter of 80+ points is still very efficient, but in the face of why the Pacers are still playing so hard, or the final fourth quarter of the turnover to win it, Xiaobian summarized and analyzed a few points is also the worry of many Nets fans!
The first thing to admit is that although Irving returned, but after all, he did not run into the team for a long time, and today's feel is indeed not enough, whether it is a breakthrough or shooting, and the defense has not returned to a normal level, other teammates have not been able to adapt well to Irving's rhythm, everyone is helping Irving find his state, and the things to consider on the court will naturally lose sight of each other once they are more.
The second is the old and difficult problem, defense or defense, otherwise the NBA has developed into an era of so much emphasis on offense, and at the critical moment, everyone is still competing in defense. The reason why the Big Three are strong is because they can still average 20+ per game when facing the defense of the top championship level, and they can tear apart the opponent's defensive score in the moment of the moment to end the game, but today's game, defense is the biggest factor that makes basketball play so hard. If Sabonis as an All-Star cut 30+10 can be understood, but as a substitute Finson can easily do 30+, whether it is an outside three-pointer or a mid-range shot and a breakthrough, now at this age Finson in the face of the Nets actually let fans have the illusion that this person is not facing the Heat's Big Three Paul George.
The NBA has no weak brigade, once you cultivate the other side's feel, in fact, it is difficult to let the other side turn off, and the defensive attitude can not be said to come up at the last moment, the problem of basketball is still last year's problem. It is true that the Big Three can contribute 60+ data per game no matter which opponent they face in the league, but the defense can no longer rely on the Big Three, Durant can not ask for more after injury, and today he is still the best scorer, Irving and Harden have been criticized for defense. Looking at the Nets these days, there is really no shortage of offensive players, and even Ade contributed double-digit points today, but after watching the game, you know what a big defensive black hole Ade is on the court, and the inner line of the protective frame and rebounding ball are really destroyed by Sa.
The Nets are still nets, and the Big Three alone can still win. After Irving's return, the overall strength is definitely up, still will be one of the most competitive championship teams in the NBA this year, but if Nash as the head coach still lives in the past, that offensive glory of the good years do not pay attention to defense, taking the championship may really be Nash's regret after all, because it is impossible to divide the finals or the opponent of the finals is today's Pacers, if the whole team is still today's defensive attitude, then as a player era failed to realize the dream of Nash, It may still be difficult to realize the dream of a championship in the head coaching period!
