In the first half of the game, the two teams began to fight against each other, and there was a stalemate. But in the third quarter, the Bulls suddenly lost power on the offensive end, and the Nets broke out again, hitting 39 points in a single quarter to widen the point difference. The Nets led by 38 points at their peak. The game was played early.
In this game, in addition to the outstanding performance of Duha and others, the play of the young sharp is also impressive.
Today is his first starter in the NBA.
Nash didn't give him many chances at all at the start of the season, when he often played during junk time.
But with his personal performances in the last three games, coupled with clarkston and Aldridge out of the team due to injury and the shortage of inside the Nets, Nash has promoted him to the starting center position.
He jumped at the chance and proved himself.
Sharp played 21 minutes today, shooting 10-of-14 and finishing with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block. Performance is very efficient.
The fly in the ointment is that Sharp's plus-minus for this game is only -5, and in the Nets' starting five Tigers, only his plus-minus is negative.
But from the perspective of the whole game, his performance is still quite good, and the flaws are not hidden.
Sharp played the immediacy of the pie king today.
He is physically strong, young and energetic, always full of energy on the field, strong finishing ability, not slow, and full of potential on the defensive end.
Harden likes to partner with this kind of center, and after the beard breaks through to the inside line, he attracts the opponent's defensive bag and passes the ball to the inside line to end.
As long as Sharp works hard enough, perseveres, and trains hard, he will have plenty of opportunities to score easily at Duoha's side.
Of course, the current Sharp also has some weak rings, many fouls, today he 6 fouls, defensive selection and judgment, also did not do well enough.
Hopefully, Nash will use Sharp more, or else on the playoff stage, the Nets' weak defense will appear again. The Nets need to plan for this earlier.
