As the regular season continues, on March 1, Beijing time, the Nets played against the Raptors at home, because Irving, the only healthy Irving in the home game, could not play, Durant and Simmons could not play due to different degrees of injury, the Nets posed in the absence of core, Aldridge, Drummond, Mills, Brown, Johnson's start. In the end, it was also lost to the Raptors to lose the game 133-97.
Looking back at the whole game, the Nets were doomed to lose from the beginning, the first quarter of the game began the Nets organized a loose defensive end without strength, the outside shooting space was abundant, the Nets could also rely on the three-pointers of Griffin and others to stabilize the point difference at the beginning of the game, the Raptors' organization was significantly stronger than the Nets, Barnes led his teammates to play a 12-3 attack wave, until the end of the first quarter, the Raptors had led the Nets by 15 points at 42-27. Barnes scored 13 points in a single quarter and the Nets could barely handle him.
The game progressed to the second quarter Aldridge came on, relying on mature technology to score 6 consecutive points, the Nets after replacing Drummond and Aldridge the stability of the interior line greatly increased, but Barnes immediately three points also color, it is worth mentioning that Drummond did not perform well in the second quarter, not only lost free throws, the offensive end can not share the pressure, his too bulky shortcomings were exposed. In the second quarter of the game, although the Nets shot a good shooting rate, Andry Jr. also hit a difficult three-pointer, but the Raptors blossomed more until halftime, the Nets have fallen behind the Raptors by 23 points 48-71 The team is basically defeated.
The game entered the third quarter, the two sides began to reduce the investment in the defensive end, the Nets also gradually found a scoring rhythm, the two sides of you and I alternately rose in the score, but the nets in the first half of the disadvantage is too big, simply unable to return to the sky. The third quarter ended at 100-69, with a huge point difference making the fourth quarter an early garbage time.
Although the Nets were doomed to lose this game from the beginning, the Nets' play was really unacceptable, and only Aldridge, who came off the bench, scored 15 points in this game, which was actually the highest score in the team, and the other starters Brown scored 14 points, and Curry Jr. only scored 11 points. Curry Jr. played in the third quarter of this game, as the starting point guard with the most ball, usually Irving did not have a chance to play, but now with the stage to hand over such an answer. In addition to Curry Jr., Drummond's performance is not good, the team abandoned Jordan Jr. after the introduction of Drummond in order to make the Nets interior line more tough, but the current multi-game it seems that Zhuang Shen may really not adapt to the current rhythm of the game.
The Nets are currently in a tight situation, the second team has almost no competitiveness, Durant and Simmons injuries have made the Nets worse, and curry Jr. these second-team players must stand up for the team to stabilize the situation.
