On January 11, Beijing time, the NBA Nets challenged the Blazers away, the first quarter of the Blazers got as many as 17 free throw shots, accompanied by a crazy whistle, the First Quarter finished playing the Nets behind by 7 points, the second quarter Kevin Durant 6 shots 3 cut 13 points + 3 rebounds + 2 assists + 1 steal + 1 block, he led the Nets to surpass the Blazers 7 points, the third quarter Blazers three-pointers 15 shots 8, the Nets 8 shots 1 of 3-pointers, the huge projection gap let the Blazers surpass 6 points, The Nets launched a counterattack many times in the final quarter, they had narrowed the trailing score to 2 points, but because Durant and Irving could not play a critical blow in the final quarter, the final score was fixed at 108-114, and the Nets lost by 6 points.
After the Nets lost to the Blazers, their last 7 games record is 2 wins and 5 losses, the Nets' win rate fell from 71.87% to 64.1%, this fall fell to the sixth position in the league, and the Heat, Bucks, 76ers all look like they have a chance to surpass the Nets' record ranking, this is a not very good signal, the Nets seem to have lost the combat effectiveness at the beginning of the season, and this decline in combat effectiveness is for a reason, from December 31, Beijing time so far, the Nets have played 7 games, Their three-point shooting percentage is only 29.1% in this time period, which is the bottom of the league, and such a bad three-point shot is the key point of the Nets' record decline!
In the Nets' past seven games, they have had four players who have made more than 10 three-point shots, including Mills shooting 49 three-pointers and 36 iron from three-point range, 26.5 percent from three-point range, Durant from 43 three-point range and 30.2 percent from three-point range, James Harden from 35 with 26 three-pointers and 25.7 percent from three-point range, Thomas 16 from 11 iron and 31.3 percent from three-point range, and Cameron Thomas with 24.7 percent of three-pointers so far this season. In the last 7 games, he has actually played an extraordinary game, Harden, Durant, Mills are not the same, these 3 are very good players in projection, Mills is one of the top shooters in the active duty, but I did not expect that these 3 recent hands are very bad...
The Nets have a configuration of the big three, which is doomed to their lineup depth will not be very good, plus Steve Nash is the head coach, the Nets' defense is also difficult to excel, the Nets' strongest point is in the offense, if there is no strong offense, the Nets are really difficult to win, but this is very unfortunate, recently their 3 core offensive players' three-point shot feel cold, can not shoot, can not open, this is a bit similar to the Los Angeles Lakers situation, fortunately, the Nets offensive players are well-known, They've had a lot of great offensive performances in the past, and as long as they can get back the three-point feel, the Nets will easily play their previous fighting power, right?
