Although the Nets trailed the 76ers in the first three quarters, thanks to Durant's crazy performance in the final quarter, the Nets finally achieved a comeback to win. In the first three quarters, Durant cut the triple-double data, but in his use, Nets coach Nash still needs to make more adjustments, after all, there are 82 games in the regular season, if durant always maintains such a high usage rate, then Durant will still leave a huge injury hazard.
The Nets' biggest flaw wasn't defense, but rotation on the inside. In order to solve the team's shortcomings, the Nets management introduced Aldridge and Millsap in the offseason, while renewing Griffin, plus youngster Clarkston, the Nets' interior rotation is deep enough. But after the start of the new season, Nash did not use these interior players, but instead pushed Durant to the fifth position in the small-ball tactics, which May also be Nash's helpless choice.
Although Griffin was once known as the "White Devil", after experiencing a major injury, his state can no longer return to the peak level, more often, Griffin will choose to shoot on the outside, even in the face of opponents shorter than himself, Griffin is not willing to rush into the inside line to kill. Although the Nets don't need much of an interior confrontation, if Griffin can use his excellent physical talent to open up the situation on the inside, the Nets have a greater advantage in the game.
As for Aldridge, many people use his return as an important weight for the Nets to compete for the championship, but Ade is a veteran who has turned 36 after all, and heart problems still plague him. Compared to last season's brief performance with the Nets, Aldridge has not found a game status this season. Like Griffin, Aldridge's blind shooting does not help the Nets to play a sophisticated tactical fit, but instead becomes the focus of the opponent's attack because it cannot cause damage on the inside.
If it had been 2 years ago, millsap's addition would have made the Nets a truly luxurious division, but today Millsap is no longer the tandem master of the offensive end of the Eagles, and it is also unable to provide a lot of blocking cover on the offensive end. Perhaps Millsap's consciousness is still there, but after the lateral movement speed dropped, Millsap was unable to keep up with the Nets' offensive speed, which is one of the reasons why Nash did not send him to the court for a long time in the game.
Last season, Clarkston was a windfall for the Nets, but within the Nets' tactical system, he was still the ultimate choice for the team's rotation. Even if he was promoted to start by Nash, he was too rough in his technique to participate in the Nets' offense, and in addition to rebounding and blocking, Clarkston's role was even worse than last season's Jordan Jr. It's not hard to see why Nash always put Durant on the fifth spot.
Nash's choice is obviously a bit helpless, even if it has received some effects, but it is not good news for the future of the Nets. Durant himself has a certain injury risk, put him on the fifth position, will increase more physical confrontation, which will cause a huge test for Durant's physical fitness. If the Nets want to reach the Finals this season, they need to make better tactical adjustments.
