With four more games to go, the Nets' regular season journey this season is coming to an end, from sending Harden halfway through to Simmons, who has not yet appeared, from the stop-and-go of Irving and Durant to the lack of experience of Coach Nash, there is no doubt that the Nets will face another defeat this season.
Judging from the current record in the East, the Nets have fallen to 10th place, fortunately, the team behind has completely missed the playoffs, which will also mean that the Nets enter the playoffs is a foregone conclusion, and if the Nets are ultimately ranked 9th or 10th, then they will face a situation of elimination, and the Nets have lost to their opponents in recent games against the other 3 playoffs direct opponents the Cavaliers, Hornets and Hawks, and the current Nets have reached a desperate place.
Desperate Factors: Owen's Ramadan
On April 9 of this month, the regular season will come to an end, except for the playoffs and playoff transition time, the playoffs will be in full swing this month. And in this crucial month, as usual, Owen's Ramadan arrived as promised. Fans know that during Ramadan every year, Owen's diet will be significantly adjusted, and for a high-intensity sport, Ramadan will mean that a low-quality diet will not be able to support the athlete's body. There may be fans who will feel dissatisfied, because Irving has also had a heroic performance in the previous Ramadan, but no one will believe it if there is no impact.
In fact, from the recent games, it is not difficult for fans to find that Irving's on-field performance has been extremely unstable, playing 12 of the Hawks 32, shooting 37.5%, playing the Hornets 6 of 22, shooting 27.3%, playing the Heat 11 of 4, the shooting rate is only 36.4%, and his 42.4% shooting rate this season is still a lot of gaps, and career Irving's shooting rate is 47.2%, which has been a new career low this season. Looking back on his years with the Nets, another key attendance has taken him out of the realm of a star.
Desperate factor: The "gods" are no longer gods
If fans look closely at the Nets' roster of players, they will find that there have been several players known as "gods", "Death" Durant, "Ou Immortal" Owen, "Rice God" Mills, "Johnson God" Drummond and "Boxing God" Johnson, plus "injured and disabled" Harris, Griffin, Ader, Dragic and Simmons, the original Club's coaching experience is limited, plus such a number of past and disabled stars, in such a competitive league, it is tantamount to self-destruction.
Speaking of seriousness, the Nets' hearts and minds have been scattered, morale is difficult to restore the state of last season, even if Durant is brave, it can not make up for the lack of core of the team.
Desperate Factors: Durant, dragged down by injuries
In the last 4 games, the Nets have lost 4-3, Durant averaged 42 minutes per game, can get 37 points, it can be said that Durant wants to carry the team forward, helpless and backfire. It is not difficult for us to find that Durant after the last two years of serious injuries seems to be in a brave state, but the number of appearances can not be compared with before, for a super giant, if you can not continue to contribute to the team, then what is the significance of spending such a big price to introduce?
Fans are always complaining about how james is at 38, but on the other hand, he can maintain such a high attendance at such an age, to put it bluntly, isn't this the standard that a star should have? If Durant's body can't sustain him to go further, it will not only be his personal career, but also this crucial few years for the Nets.
Desperate Factors: Growing Nash
Nash, who has had a short coaching career, has shown his inadequacies in his control of the team and his ability to adapt to the situation, and he cannot compete with a good professional coach in the use and mobilization of Jordan Jr., Irving and Harden, including Simmons.
Although fans will tolerate that his current turbulent lineup of the Nets is difficult to play, in contrast, several teams with excellent records in the league, especially the Grizzlies and The Suns, will not become decadent due to the absence of their top stars, but become more and more powerful, among which the mobilization and professionalism of coaches have played a role that cannot be ignored.
Fans will think that even if the season ends like this, the Nets will do it all over again next season. But how much time is left for the Nets? Durant is 34 years old, Irving always drops the chain at key moments, and what Simmons is still unknown, like Mills, Ade, Griffin, Dragic, Johnson, Johnson, Chuang Shen can stay in the lineup next season is still unknown, and the remaining few recruit eggs are still embarrassing.
We can only expect the Nets to have a miracle in the playoffs.
