What Is Nash's role in the Nets is perhaps the biggest question for fans. Playoff Nets vs. Celtics, with a 0-2 score back home, the Nets still have no way, Nash let Durant almost play the whole game, Irving can only rest when 5 fouls, only to use Griffin to become one of the few highlights, but still can not stop the Nets 103-109 loss, 0-3 behind, Nash is really difficult.
The Nets have been hitting the championship for two straight seasons, they were beaten by the Bucks last season, and now in the first round of the playoffs, they face the Celtics. Irving and Durant are the main backbone of the team, Harden left the team, the Nets' offense actually encountered a big problem, because Irving and Durant's singles ability is excellent, the ability to connect the whole team is still not as good as Harden, Harden's average number of assists per game is still very stable, and he is also the organizer of the team.
Losing Harden, the Nets exposed their problems in the playoffs, and after losing two games in a row, they returned to the home redemption, when Nash's method was simple, that is, to let Durant and Irving support the team. However, Durant was limited by the Celtics, who only got 5 shots in the first two quarters, and Irving only hit 4 goals despite 11 shots, which was not very efficient. In the first two quarters, Durant and Irving simply couldn't get a break, and that was Nash's strategy.
In the first two quarters of the game, Nash's suspension was used a lot, but the first quarter was called a timeout after being beaten 10-2, which also caused heated discussion. In the third quarter, Durant and Irving played 12 minutes again, but the Nets still could not narrow the point gap, such a situation, Nash has no way. Nash's only correct decision in this game was to use Griffin, Griffin came on defensively, the offense also hit two three-pointers, got 8 points, once led the team to narrow the point difference, but soon pulled away, such a situation, Nash is also scratching his head.
Nash couldn't do anything about it, and the Nets were again defeated in the final quarter, 0-3 behind, and fell into a desperate situation. For Nash, only Simmons's comeback is a change, but can Simmons, who has been truly trunched for so long, really become a savior? difficult!
