Beijing time on April 24, the first round of the series between the Nets and the Green Army g3, originally everyone thought that the last silent Irving Durant will find the state and win this game, but in fact, in today's game Durant and Irving's play is very ugly, and finally the Nets also lost the game again, and the series score came to 0-3 The team has stood on the edge of the cliff.
In a post-game interview, Nash said Durant didn't need to break out, the team played without problems, and supported Irving's eating behavior. Apparently Nash should now be the only one on the team who believes the team can complete a reversal, and his remarks have caused controversy, but does Nash really have the tactical reserves that the team can trust? Can he come up with a strategy to limit the other side in a life-and-death battle? Or is Nash an NBA-level coach? These are all issues worth discussing. If the Nets are really shaved in the first round, then I believe there is really not much coaching time left for Nash!
The first thing to say about Nash's tactical strategy, from the nets' game offensive end is basically handed over to the star players to singles, the defensive level is a block after the substitution of defense, the rest of the "high-end" tactics have really not been used by Nash. To put it more specifically, nash's defensive concept for the Nets is to change defenses indefinitely, so that the team can always maintain defensive pressure. This is similar to the tactics he used during his playing days, but in fact, with the depth of the Nets' lineup this season, they do not need to change defenses frequently, because the team basically relies on Irving and Durant on the offensive end, and letting the two enter the change tactics will increase the physical exertion of the two and increase the possibility of leakage. The first game with the Green Army was killed by Tatum because Durant missed Tatum and gave the Green Army a chance during the change of defense with Irving.
In fact, after Harden came to the Nets, the Nets' tactics have been adjusted, as the main ball holding point around Durant, Harden has indeed done the task of connecting the team, which makes the Nets, which do not have much tactical reserves, look OK, but this is just an illusion based on Harden's excellent organizational skills. Harden has already left the Nets, and the next game is to prove Nash's tactical ability, the team's loss means being swept, if Nash still has the hole card, there is no need to stay longer.
In fact, combined with the composition of the Nets' players, and the characteristics of the two superstars, Nash really can't think of a better way, when you have the league's top scorer, what reason do you have not to give him a chance to score singles. Nash's philosophy doesn't seem wrong from that point of view, but his coaching prowess is really not enough to lead a team to a championship on a stage like the playoffs. When there is an unexpected situation, Nash simply can't make mistakes on the spot, and the game is adjusted in time. This is the typical regular season coach. Maybe in years Nash will be a good coach, but it's not what it is now.
