Kelly Irving frequently stepped up to do things in the first two seasons, the team is very discordant internally because of his presence, Harden is because he sees that he is not a dedicated player so he chose to ask the Nets to trade him away, and now after Irving is suspended, the Nets' offense looks more fluid, today's game against the Clippers, the Nets used the team offense to play an offensive climax in the final quarter to defeat the opponent, Therefore, many people believe that Irving's presence has hurt the Nets' overall play to some extent.
In response to this statement, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue expressed his opinion in an interview, and when talking about Irving, he said: "Irving is an incredible player, and I can tell you clearly that for me, when the Cavaliers were coaching, Irving made my job a lot easier, because as long as we put the ball in his hands, then we only need to give the right tactics, and he can play any attack he wants, and I always have to emphasize many times. Irving is a player who has no weaknesses on the offensive end, he can pass the ball, he can score and finish with both left and right hands, he can also shoot from mid-range, he can also shoot three-pointers, he dribbles well, he can do anything, but I can't agree with the outside world that Irving hurts the overall attack of the blue net. ”
Then the reporter asked, so do you think Nash did not use Haowen? Tyronn Lue said, "I have to tell you that in some ways it is true, Irving can obviously play more flexible in the game, and the Nets' tactics can be more varied because of Irving's containment, so I think there must be some misunderstanding in between, because you can see that his offensive instructions are in my hands." ”
During Nash's coaching, the Nets' tactics were Kelly Irving and Durant's continuous single-play team, and they did not make good use of the two of them to play a good team, and at that time they often put on Durant, with 4 breakthrough players The lineup did not have the kind of three-point at all, Irving was the same, and I don't know why Nash recruited so many three-point shooters, but the key moment was not used.
In the final quarter of today's game against the Clippers, Nets coach Vaughn decisively used the one-star four-shot tactic, he used Durant as a containment point, put 4 shooters on the outside, and it is precisely because of this change that the Nets played wave after wave of offensive climax and finally hundreds of Clippers.
