On March 28, Beijing time, the Nets lost 110-119 to the Hornets at home, missing a key card battle, and now the Nets have fallen to ninth in the East.
With the Long Wait of Nets fans, Irving finally ushered in the Nets' home debut near the end of the regular season, but unfortunately, the unusually fierce Irving on the road did not work in the home game, and Irving's poor home performance also made fans grunt.
Durant and Irving are close to half of the team's shots, but the shooting percentage is indeed quite low, the scoring is also very unsatisfactory, and the offensive performance against the Hornets is relatively lonely. Irving himself screwed up his home debut for the Nets, and the three-pointer of 1-of-9 left fans speechless, which also made fans full of worries about the next direction of the Nets.
The Nets are also facing huge challenges now, and now that Irving has returned, the Nets' performance is not as good as before, which is really unacceptable. Irving has to learn to slowly accept the atmosphere at home, and when the personal shooting percentage drops badly, learn to put the ball in the hands of his teammates.
In this campaign, Irving played 40 minutes and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds and 11 assists, and only hit 6 of 22 shots, including 9 of 9 three-pointers, which seriously reduced the Nets' overall shooting rate. Durant was invisible in the final quarter, facing the Hornets' defense, Durant shot 8 times in the final quarter, but only hit 1 goal, and Durant did not play the core of the team's attack at the critical moment.
In this campaign, Durant played 41 minutes, cut 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, shot 24 shots and shot 9 goals, 3 of 11 three-pointers, and the later play somewhat affected the morale of the Nets, and the Nets' loss and Durant also had an inseparable relationship.
Of course, Nets coach Nash is the one who should be met the most, in the face of the Nets' sluggish offense on the court did not come up with practical tactics, there is no target in the use of personnel, so that the Nets' situation is very difficult, and lost the key card position battle. Durant and Irving shot 4 of 20 three-pointers, making the Nets' overall three-point shooting rate drop wildly, and it is also a reason why the Nets lose more obviously.
Do you think the Nets can complete the following reversal in the playoffs?
