On January 8, Beijing time, the Nets lost to the Bucks 109-121 at home, suffering a five-game losing streak. Durant 19 shot 10 hollow slash 29+9+7! So far, the Nets have a record of 24 wins and 13 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference record list. However, the Nets currently have no win difference with the No. 3 Bucks, and are only one win ahead of the No. 4 Heat in the East, and 2.5 wins ahead of the 76ers in no. 5.
In the Nets' current 24-13 record, the Nets' record on the road is 14-3, while the home record is 10-10. The Nets' 14-3 record on the road is currently the best away record in the entire NBA league. Coupled with the fact that Irving has returned and can participate in away games, the Nets' away advantage is really worthy of the name.
In an interview with reporters, Nets coach Nash talked about the Nets' inability to play at home. Nash said: "By our standards, we've been struggling at home this season. It's frustrating, we now have a 50% home win rate, which is hard. But on the positive side, we have a lot of room for improvement. ”
I have to say, Nash is really a talent! Fans may see the Nets' bad home record, the Nets are struggling with poor home form, and Nash sees more room for improvement and more room for improvement! In fact, in the post-match interview, Nash never talked about where the problems with the team were, always making excuses. Nash even mentioned last season: "Last year we played great, played a good defense and then relied on defense to win. ”
Why did the Nets play well last year, and did Nash not count in his heart? Last year's Nets defense was enough to watch, but last year the Nets' assistant sitting in the bench was a D'Antoni! D'Antoni's defensive skills are good or not, we don't say, this ability to adjust the attack is absolutely nothing to say! This year D'Antoni left the Nets, and the Nets' offense was immediately muted! Last year, the Nets couldn't defend themselves and won by offense alone. This year, the Nets can't defend themselves, and the offense is also pulling their crotches badly!
There is one of the most important reasons why the Nets have had a good away record this season: the Nets have so far encountered very few of the top 4 teams in the East and West on the road. So far, the Nets have met the top 4 teams in the East and West on the road, the Bulls and bucks once each, and in these two games, the Nets have lost without humility! At home, the Nets have met the top 4 teams in the East and West more often, which is why their home record is not good.
Having played so long this season, it's no sign that Nash has changed in coaching. Nash even said in an interview that the Nets are a defensive team. What's even funnier is that when Nash was asked by reporters about the Nets' poor performance, Nash actually replied: "If I knew, I would be a very good coach." "If the head coach is such a mentality, the Nets can't get better this season!
Sometimes it is strange that the Nets' lineup, played like this, Nash head coach position is actually sitting firmly! The Nets are a team that wants to compete for the championship, not a team that encounters the top 4 wins in the East and West, but only wants to abuse the vegetables in the regular season!
