On February 3, Beijing time, the Nets suffered 6 consecutive defeats, and the fourth quarter completely collapsed. Swallowing this bitter loss, Nash also set a record of humiliating team leadership, which was the first time he had suffered a six-game losing streak in charge of the Nets. Nash once again caused a chorus of class, and it is worth mentioning that when the fourth quarter of the game entered garbage time, Nash slipped his hands into his pants pockets on the sidelines, pacing back and forth, falling into contemplation.
Harden also lost control of his emotions in the fourth quarter of the game. With 10:21 left in the fourth quarter, Hield chased a three-point shot and the Nets shouted a timeout.
The Kings blasted an 8-0 run at this point, Harden was dissatisfied with the decision, and he also suffered a technical foul, and the Nets were already on the verge of collapse.
In this battle, Harden's state is really sluggish. Although he insisted on playing after suffering a hand strain, he was on the verge of sleepwalking on the field when the game came on. In the first quarter, Harden sent an eye defense, playing 9 minutes and 16 seconds, Harden shot 0 of 3, and did not deliver 3 assists for one point.
After halftime, Harden scored just 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting, and it was really too difficult for the Nets to win in this situation. In the fourth quarter, after being blasted by the opponent to make it 8-0, Harden still couldn't find his form after eating a technical foul.
You know, this game really can't afford to lose. After all, the opponent has recently suffered seven consecutive defeats, ranking third from the bottom in the West. And the Nets suffered a five-game losing streak, dropping to sixth in the East. After Durant's truce, the Nets have lost 6 of their last 8 games.
It is worth mentioning that in his career coaching the Nets, Nash has not led the team to 6 consecutive losses. Nets reporter Chris Milholen bluntly said that if the Nets lose, it will be a rather bad loss. As a result, as he said, the Nets lost, will Nash's position still be solid?
