On February 7, Beijing time, the Nets against the Nuggets, before the Nets have suffered seven consecutive losses, the record fell to the sixth place in the East, this game against the Sixth Nuggets in the West, and is in the Denver Plateau, it is indeed very difficult! The result is that the Nets lost to the Nuggets to win an eight-game losing streak, and it was indeed helpless to end the losing streak, but the Nets also ushered in good news, that is, the Nets coach said in an interview that Harden would not be traded.
Compared with the previous game, the Nets played more actively, although they lost, but it was also excusable. Three reasons still need to be noted, the first Nets assists are much lower than the Nuggets, most of them are singles-based, and the Nuggets play more team. The second penalty area scored the Nuggets far more than the Nets, mainly due to Ader's absence, the Nets did not limit Jokic enough, this game Griffin played quite well, but unfortunately the attack and defense can not be integrated after all. The third is Irving's personal play, the performance of 14 points in the second quarter is certainly OK, but the shooting rate is not high, and it needs to be worked hard!
For the Nets, the performance of role players has ups and downs, but it is also getting better. Irving's away performance is still worthy of recognition, after all, it is not easy to lead the team alone, at least we have seen progress, rather than standing still, which is a good sign! Harden missed the Nets' game against the Nuggets due to a left hamstring injury, which actually had a big impact on the Nets, coupled with Durant Ader's absence, the Nets can really use not many people.
Nash talked about Harden in an interview before the game, Nash said that Harden would like to play in this game, Nash finally did not let Harden play the main thing is to let Harden better recovery, against the Nuggets This is a hard battle, it is not easy, you can also see Nash's heartache for the disciple and Harden's desire for victory. In addition, Nash also mentioned an important point, that is, the Nets and Harden both want to continue to cooperate, and now the noise of the trade comes from Philadelphia, nash directly stated that the team will not trade Harden.
This is a good thing for the Nets, although the team suffered eight consecutive losses, but the military is stable, Harden is crucial for the Nets, if Harden leaves the team is indeed very difficult for the Nets, and in this case, staying in the team is obviously the best choice for the team, of course, Harden also made a certain sacrifice! The Nets' eight-game losing streak is already a fact that cannot be changed, and I only hope that Harden's stay can better help the Nets out of the predicament, as long as they wait until Durant returns, everything can peak and turn around!
