News on January 12, the Nets' recent state has fluctuated greatly, the team has managed to get out of the haze of epidemic control, and also ushered in the return of Irving, but the recent record is difficult to say. After yesterday's loss to the trailblazers, who lacked major generals, the Nets have lost five of their last seven games. Today, there is another news update about the team. The first is that the Nets have updated the injury report, and tomorrow the away game against the Bulls, Harden and Irving are in doubt. The second is the Nets' defensive data exposure from after Christmas, ranking only 27th in the league. In the end, Trail Blazers player Little officially responded to Irving for tripping the ball on the ground.
First of all, looking at tomorrow's game against the Bulls, it can be said that it is very important, because the Bulls have doubled the Nets before, which is not only the competition for the top spot in the East, but also the competition for home advantage in the playoffs. However, the Nets have had more problems recently, and the current healthy star is Durant, Harden's left knee is overstretched, Irving's left ankle is sprained, Clarkston's left hamstring is tense, plus Joe Harris and Ade are recovering, really the house leak is in the overnight rain! Recently, the nets double giant team effect is average, but Harden, Durant alone when the team is better, see if this fight bulls, Durant can come to the death of the god!
Secondly, let's talk about the Nets' defense, since Christmas, the Nets' defensive efficiency value ranks 27th in the league, in fact, this can be seen from the game scene. The Nets' current defense is not systematic, the key is that Nash has been constantly experimenting with the lineup, and Nash has repeatedly emphasized that the Nets are a defensive team, I don't know whether it is self-deprecating or serious. The Nets are now defending the crotch, the most important thing is that there is no establishment of a defensive concept, the rebounds cannot be controlled when the defense is changed indefinitely, the big center is always targeted on the field, and the on-the-spot response of nash as a rookie coach is relatively slow, so the problem of defense will become a major hidden danger.
Yesterday Little tripped Irving on defensive grabs, and after the game Irving said Little wasn't a dirty player, but that action was a bit reckless, a dangerous move that was completely avoidable. And today Little hit back, saying, "I would never deliberately hurt anyone, and I don't care what you say." Truth be told, Owen didn't say this with malice, Little's reaction was a bit overdone, and Owen didn't say it was deliberately hurtful, just a little dangerous. The reason why Little doesn't understand is that he may not have suffered a major injury, and the other is that he has not yet become a star, and he does not understand how much health means to a player!
