Nets player Bruce Brown has not been good or bad this season. Players familiar with him know that he is a player who is good at stealing chickens and defending, and stealing chickens here can be understood as stealing points. Brown's ability to finish is very good, good at getting points in chaotic battles, secondary offense, fast attack, counterattack, incision and even blocking and dismantling down Brown are not bad. He's only 1.93m tall, and Brown spent a lot of time playing forward at the Nets last season.
This season, the Nets have a lot of talent in the front position, before there are aldridge, Millsap and other veterans, but also Thomas, Edwards and other young newcomers. Brown's performance opportunities and playing time have been reduced compared to last season. This season, he has only averaged close to 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist per game, and his average per game has dropped by nearly 3 points compared to last season, and his shooting rate is also lower.
However, Brown has improved to a certain extent this season in another area. That's defense, and today Brown played the most beautiful game of the season. The Nets beat the Kings at home today to finally end an 11-game losing streak, and Brown played a full 38 minutes today, during which Brown had 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks. In particular, 5 steals and 3 blocks can show the versatility of Brown's defensive end. Brown is a player with average talent, even though his strength and athleticism are not bad. But height is an insurmountable chasm after all, and Brown must find another way to make himself play well. In addition to the end we know as well, the defensive end is more reflected in the positive.
This game Brown is really positive to get home. All kinds of scrambling caps are conscientious and do not give up all opportunities that can be seized. Brown has very good habits when defending, and he rarely makes unnecessary scrambling moves to avoid fouls. It's more of a brown candy development style that sticks to his opponents, and his lateral movement speed is not slow. This game Brown better limited the opponents.
Brown's defense has improved, and the offense has improved significantly. Brown's three-point shooting this season is still normal, with a three-point shooting rate of less than 33 percent. But he understood the theorem of a fresh meal, and he continued to hone his finishing technique. Brown's current chicken stealing can not be called stealing chickens, but high-end finishing technology. This game Brown completed two amazing offenses. One is a high-difficulty end 2+1 win. Once receiving a pass from a teammate in the second half, facing the defense completed a difficult folding lever at the bottom line. This ball has extremely high requirements for physical fitness and finishing skills, and friends who have played the ball know how difficult it is to pull the bar.
Seeing Brown's performance today, shouldn't the Nets improve his playing time and performance opportunities? Shooting at the Nets isn't very important because with Durant, Irving and the traded Curry Jr., the Nets have plenty of firepower on the outside. At this stage, the Nets urgently need to improve their defensive strength, and Brown's defensive enthusiasm and excellent finishing ability may bring a lot of help to the team. Now that the team trade is settled, the Nets are looking ahead. Brown had a great time last season, and the Nets should give Brown more trust. Today the team ended a dismal 11-game losing streak, and Brown was the one who mattered. Dear readers, how do you rate Brown's performance so far this season?
