The Nets finally won, after defeating the Hornets, finally ended the embarrassing four-point losing streak, and returned to the eighth position in the East, winning is happy, but behind the win is Durant's helplessness, Irving played a super god performance, with the Nets easily defeated the Hornets, the whole team played a 51% three-point shooting rate, but what can this explain? It's not realistic to point to Irving every game to score 50 points, and to win, the Nets still need to change from themselves.
Today we will talk about Durant, a big win, Durant's data is not conspicuous, only got 14 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists of the data, it is worth mentioning that Durant also sent 5 mistakes, Durant's scoring is not high, we can understand that the Nets played too smoothly, after all, they have not yet made a force, the team will expand the point difference to more than 30 points, but from the other hand, how to calculate Durant's five mistakes?
In fact, since Harden left, Nash has intentionally changed the team's offensive play, Curry Jr. and Irving can play the role of shooter and endpoint, and let Durant hold the ball to attack, with his own attraction to help his teammates send assists, but Xiao Feng feels that this has backfired, first of all, Durant belongs to tall players, which has doomed his role positioning, which will increase the probability of him holding the ball wrong, which not only distracts Durant from focusing on scoring, Instead, it added a lot of unnecessary mistakes, and it can even be said that letting Durant hold the ball was a big waste of Durant's talent, but Simmons' return date was undecided, and Nash was also helpless. Nash asked Durant to learn from the James tandem team, but the effect was not very good, James has long proved that he has the ability to connect and can not rise with the Lakers, Durant can do it?
As we all know, the Hornets are a team that is not good at defense, although the Nets won, the Same Hornets scored 121 points, in fact, this has exposed the Nets' weak weakness in defense, although the Nets won the Hornets in assists, but their mistakes are more than the opponents, in the final analysis, this is the sequelae after Harden's departure. Although the Nets got Simmons in the process of trading Harden, but now his physical condition is relatively bad, he does not even know when he can train, and then the Nets have 16 games left in the regular season, who will organize the offense, in addition to Simmons, Irving can play five games if he can only play away, which means that most of the next time will be Durant single-core team. Maybe facing a team like the Hornets, which is strong and weak, if the next game is against the 76ers, will Irving have so many opportunities to break through, after increasing the defensive pressure, Durant can still connect the team, in fact, this is the key to winning and losing.
The Nets' record before the victory over the Hornets was 3-17, perhaps we can understand that this is the reason for the incomplete main players, but neither the interior nor the outside defense has reached a satisfactory level, and now Harden's departure has once again exposed the Nets' weakness, even if it can really play the playoffs. With the Nets' current strength, it is difficult to go far after all. For Durant, he can only suffer the consequences, his teammates are his own choice, the coach is also his own choice, and all the consequences can only be borne by himself. As he himself said, the Nets have no reason to keep Harden, they can't play, Irving hasn't played, and Harden hasn't won a championship so far, and there's nothing wrong with Harden's departure. We see his helplessness between Durant's words, but so what? The Nets simply had no solution to the problem.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
