In a just-concluded Eastern Conference focus game, the Nets fought a fierce battle on the road and finally won the Bulls 138-112 to win this powerful dialogue and achieve revenge. Before this campaign, the Bulls were in first place in the East and the Nets were second, and the two sides had met twice before, both ending with the Nets losing miserably. And in this game, the Nets ushered in the 3 giants of the combination, although Irving's personal offensive feel is not good, only got 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but the 3 giants brought the pulling, but let the Bulls defense tired to cope, the third quarter of the Nets attack and defense at both ends of the threat, a wave of 39-19 offensive directly to take away the game, the last quarter they once led the opponent by 38 points, directly the first in the East, but also showed the power of the 3 giants.
In this game, in addition to the Nets' big victory over the opponent to complete the comeback to justify their own name, the team also has a big gain, that is, the rookie center Sharp who started the debut once again played a stunning performance and became the hero of the Nets' victory.
Before the game, the Nets announced that Clarkston and Aldridge were suspended due to injury, nash said in an interview that whether to let Griffin start will depend on the situation, and in the end, he decided to let rookie Sharp appear before the game, and this decision also successfully affected the trend of the game.
In the last game, Sharp played well off the bench, shooting 7-of-7, cutting 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, although he failed to help the team win, but his performance gave the Nets hope inside. And this as a reward for Sharp, Nash directly let him partner the 3 giants to start the game, support the Nets' restricted area, and finally the youngster lived up to expectations, he played 21 minutes, 10 of 14 shots, cut 20 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, and brought great help to the team at both ends of the attack and defense.
Sharp is 2 meters 11 tall and weighs 120 kilograms, and when he stands under the basket, he can build a natural protective wall for the team, and Vucevic's attack under his defense is very difficult, and the Bulls' interior line has lost its advantage. More importantly, although Sharp is only a rookie, there are not many opportunities before, but his ability to finish under the basket is very strong, every time Harden or other teammates pass the ball to his hands, he can always use his excellent lower limb strength to resist the opponent in a seemingly awkward confrontation to complete the layup or dunk, this game, his 10 attacks are all under the basket, and there are 2 dunks.
Since last season, the Nets' interior line has always been the weakest position in the lineup, and after the introduction of veterans such as Ade and Millsap in the offseason, the team has high hopes for them, but their state decline and injury problems have made the Nets' interior line face a big test again. And with Sharp's rise, his role in the Nets' interior line began to show. If the youngster can play steadily next, there is no doubt that he will become an important member of the Nets' inner rotation. With a passing master like Harden, Sharp can also grow faster, just like the original Capela, under Harden's feeding, becoming the hottest pie center in the league. If he can maintain such an efficient performance, Sharp will be expected to grow up next to Harden as the Nets' new Capela.
