The NBA regular season continues, with Durant, Harden, Irving three big three combination of the Nets as the league's hot team loved and concerned by fans, but they have recently been in trouble, the team record is not ideal, in the game with the Lakers, in the face of the Lakers blossoming more points of the Lakers, the single core led the team Harden is also helpless, and the final team is suffering two consecutive losses. Now the situation of the Nets has made the outside world also start to talk about some of their things, the Nets have lost consecutively, Nash talks about the team's defeat, Harden debunks rumors, and the front line will return to the undetermined date.
The Nets side of the team encountered new difficulties at this stage, the core of the team Durant suffered an injury, according to the news revealed that Durant will miss the NBA All-Star Game soon after, which is not good news for the Nets, which means that Durant's injury recovery will take time, and Durant will not have the opportunity to return in a short time. Irving, one of the big three, is still unable to attend the home game, so that in the showdown with the Lakers, the Nets big three only have Harden single core to lead the team, the Lakers side is ushered in the comeback of the thick eyebrows, James, thick eyebrows, Westbrook three giants combined, the residual Nets are ultimately invincible to the Lakers.
In the whole game, Harden played 34 minutes and 24 shots in 11 of the game, cut down 33 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block of the comprehensive data, it can be said that he tried his best, but his teammates did not give a single wood to support. Speaking about the loss of the game, Nets coach Nash said that the team made too many mistakes in the offensive and defensive conversions, allowing opponents to score a lot of points through the conversion offense. Indeed, through the data we can see that the Nets have 54 rebounds far more than the Lakers' 33, but they have too many mistakes 18 times, the Lakers only have 8 times, and let the opponent steal 12 times, which reflects the Nets' problems. Apparently Irving's inability to attend had a big impact on them.
Harden was also asked about the team's defeat in an interview after the game, and he also said that the team's problems appeared in the defensive transition. Immediately after Harden was questioned about his dislike of rotating in the Brooklyn Nets and the team, Harden directly said that I did not say this, which is also a rumor before the public rumor. Earlier, Jake Fischer said Harden didn't enjoy life in Brooklyn and expressed his confusion that teammate Irving could only play part-time. Harden said he hadn't said he was depressed because the team couldn't stay healthy. Nash said that he had not talked to Harden about this, that he and Harden had always communicated, and that he had a great relationship. Both are outright in denial about the topic.
As mentioned earlier, Vinhardon is frustrated that the team cannot stay healthy, it is true that the Nets are plagued by injuries, Durant has missed many games with a knee injury, and the team's top 3D tough player Joe Harris has not returned to the team so far. He has only played 14 games so far in the season, averaging 11.3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist per game in 30 minutes, shooting 45.2% from the field, shooting 46.6% from three-point range, and averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game. So far this season, the Nets have averaged 31.6 three-point shots per game, ranking fifth from the bottom of the league with a shooting rate of 35%, and averaging 11 three-pointers per game to rank 27th in the league, which is a significant decline compared to the data of Joha's appearances last season.
According to head coach Nash revealing that Joe Harris is currently seeking a second medical opinion on an ankle injury in indians, it is clear that Harris' injury recovery is not ideal, and at this stage it seems that his return date is undecided. At this stage, they are facing great difficulties for the Nets, and they will have a wave of road trips next, and the opponents are mostly strong teams in the league, their current ranking in the third place in the standings is not stable, one careless may fall out of the top five, do not know how Nash will deal with the next challenge.
