NNBA regular season Eastern Nets winning streak was ended, such a result is somewhat unexpected, to know that the Nets once led double digits, but lost the lead after being chased by consecutive points, and finally Durant faced the opponent's multi-person bag clip hit the key counter-three points, but at the last moment Dinwiddie received the pass to face the three-point shot of the defensive whistle, killing the old club. The defeat wiped away the Nets' previous winning streak, which would also greatly damage the morale of the team. The Nets are killed, Dragic questions Adu, Nash is subdued, and Durant wants to see Bency return.
In the game there was also a thrilling scene, in the third quarter of the game Durant with the ball to break through the foot accidentally stepped on, directly fell to the ground, such a picture let everyone out of a cold sweat, to know that Durant is a player who has been seriously injured, which also makes him more likely to suffer from injuries, fortunately, there is no problem, put on shoes again, and in the end in the face of the bag clip also hit a high difficult three points, Durant played 39.6 minutes (40 minutes controlled by Nash) and had 23 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, but the shooting percentage was not high.
Dragic did a great job in the game, scoring a season-high 21 points, nash bluntly said I think he played fantastic tonight, obviously he is a big heart player. But in an interview after the game, Dragic expressed a little dissatisfaction, he said that I am still trying to adapt to the team, I like to block and dismantle, but Durant is most of the time playing with the ball, so I am still in the process of adapting to the team. Apparently, Dragic was a little dissatisfied with Durant's playing style. How to line up and better play the characteristics and capabilities of the team is something nash needs to solve.
Interestingly, Nash once again avoided the heavy in an interview after the game, saying that we did a good job of defending against Dinwiddie in the last moment. A tribute to Dinwiddie for taking off his hat. Dinwiddie hit a three-pointer, which was no way, but looking ahead of the game, Nash was doing something on the rotation. What tactics na are clear to everyone, but in this game, when the lead is so much, Durant is running back without giving Durant a break, but when the other side catches up with the score, Nash replaces Durant; with 7 minutes left in the game, the Nets are already behind the opponent, nash will replace Durant. This wave of fanatical operations looks dumb to everyone.
Nash always gave the problem to Durant Irving to solve the problem, but when facing the strong team, the other side adjusted and gave Nash a complete problem. Especially now that Simmons is absent and Irving can't play at home, when he leads the team on Durant's single core, Nash's coaching ability has once again been exposed.
After the Nets lack a top backcourt in the game, Durant needs to do more, not only need to score but also defend and tandem teams, of course, as the top superstar in the league, Durant has such ability, but all rely on Durant to play like this, he will also be very tired. For example, in this game, although Durant sent 23 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, his efficiency was not high, shooting only 40%, far below the average this season.
In this state, the Nets must have other points that can share Durant's pressure, such as Irving and Simmons. Irving can't count on this for the time being, so there is only Simmons left, according to reports, Simmons is currently in treatment and is expected to return before the end of the regular season. Durant said in an interview after the game: He can't wait for Simmons to come back, but he doesn't want to urge him to come back. When it comes to how Simmons fits into the team, Durant said the question of Simmons' integration depends on how he does it.
At this stage, for the Nets, it is to ensure the health of the team, strive for more victories to advance to the playoffs, and then wait for Simmons to return, if Irving's home play problem can be solved, then the Nets will once again become a strong contender for the championship.
