The Nets' recent form can be described as a slump, losing four of their five games, or in the presence of Harden and Durant, facing the top teams in the East and West, basically not winning the ball, not at all like a championship-level team, and the much-criticized defensive problem has not been solved.
Head coach Nash also publicly responded to reporters a few days ago that the team is a defensive team, he is trying more personnel to match, the season is about half over, the defense is not solved, the offense has no tactics, and lost to the Bucks, the Nets fans and a number of media completely do not do it, patience has reached the extreme, Nash after the game is also honest, in the face of reality and public opinion also began to admit it, after all, the fans shouted him off class The voice has never been broken, the team's situation is there, no way for him to explain it.
Today's Nets problem is that they believe too much in the power of the Big Three, so they ignore the strength of the team as a whole, originally the Big Three played with other players, and the result was completely a singles of the Big Three. Durant, in particular, is obsessed with singles to solve problems, a player with a broken Achilles tendon averaging about 35 minutes per game, and if he continues to play like this, the playoffs will not be good and there will be problems. Today's Durant is like falling into a strange circle, too confident that he can solve all problems, ignoring the power of his teammates, especially robbing Harden of his job, resulting in a great reduction in his power.
Durant should be like in the Warriors, using their own deterrence to attract defense, find easy opportunities for teammates, play at a critical moment in the game, Harden must have the ball in hand to play the best state, he and James itself is such a feature This is also Harden alone to lead the team 5 games 4 wins, the data is good The reason is that Durant is too addicted to singles really ruined Harden, but also let him carry a lot of black pot. What makes fans even more puzzled is that Durant interfered with the team's management decision, the team has long wanted to trade Irving, but Owen said in advance that he dared to trade and retire, Durant is even more praised, maybe he has privately communicated Irving.
The team has long wanted to replace Nash, using a rookie coach to coach the Big Three itself did not do so, Nash to prove his current incompetence in coaching, but the choice of Nash is Durant's opinion, including the previous signing of Jordan Jr. is also Durant and Irving requirements. It is hard to imagine what happened to Durant, he has rarely done such a thing before, even if the personal relationship is good, he cannot interfere too much in the construction of the team.
