Trailing by 34 points at most, losing 23 points on the road, the Nets performed very badly in away games against the Jazz. While the team's current roster isn't complete, with Durant, Aldridge, and Harden all out of the game, the Nets' roster isn't too bad, with players like Irving and Mills, while jazz's Ingles and Gobert are also absent. From the overall strength of the two teams in this game, in fact, there is almost a difference, both teams have a number of main players can not play, and in this case, the Nets facing the Jazz team is at a comprehensive disadvantage, at most it has been more than 30 points behind the opponent, in the fourth quarter, the game has already entered the training time, this game The Nets have no backhand, poor performance.
After losing this game, the Nets have suffered a seven-game losing streak, the longest losing streak this season. After this battle, although the Nets are still ranked 6th in the East, they are only 0.5 wins ahead of the 7th-place Raptors in the East, if they continue to lose, then the team will fall into the playoff area, then the Nets will not be stable to enter the playoffs this season, and the team also needs to compete for a playoff ticket by participating in the playoffs.
As a big favorite to win the championship this season, playing the current record, such a performance can be described as very bad. Players have no morale in the game, are not active enough at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, for many reasons, the team lineup is rarely complete, whether it is against strong teams or weak teams, the Nets are difficult to win the game, the overall competitiveness of the team in the game is not strong enough, and these factors have also led to the team's record this season is so bad, far lower than the outside world expected performance of this team before the start of the season.
At present, this Nets team is in trouble, the team lineup is incomplete, Durant has an injury, Harden is also playing a stop-and-go, and Irving can only play away games, the home can not return, the team is currently short of major generals. And the overall lack of energy and motivation, the players on the court are not very competitive, compared to other teams that have begun to prepare for the playoffs, the Nets are far from that stage, the team is not back on track, the performance is very bad.
In this difficult situation, it will be a very big test for head coach Nash. As a manager who is ready to storm the championship team, he needs to prove himself at this critical moment, he has to look for the shortcomings that the team is currently experiencing, and at the same time find ways to solve these problems. In the next game, he needs to use the players that the team has flexibly, let them fill the players who can't play, so that the team can rotate normally, and at the same time, the team can get back on track.
The quality of a team, the coach's coaching performance will become the key, and there are many managers who can still lead the team to victory in the game even if the lineup is very incomplete. For Nash, he currently needs to show such coaching ability, when the lineup is incomplete, he needs to use his coaching to help the team get better and lead the team to end the losing streak. While that's tough for Nash, he needs to prove himself for now, because if the Nets continue to lose, their top six in the East is in jeopardy and the team won't be stable in the playoffs.
