The Nets finally defeated the Pistons in a matchup full of honor, and while this game did not change their fate of missing the playoffs, it at least brought a touch of dignity to the team. You say, these days, even dignity has to be fought for? Obviously, for the Nets, the answer is yes. As for the Pistons, the most pitiful team in the East, Harden broke the bank, and now that I think about it, it's also an irony.
The climax of the game was repeated, and the performance of Thomas and Schroder was simply a ray of life for the Nets. Thomas is really on fire, his shooting feels hot like the suns in the summer, scoring 32 points and having 6 rebounds and 5 assists at the same time, what do you say? Schroder is not to be outdone, 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, isn't this just saying on the court, brother, you shoot and pass me.
Although Bridges only has 13 points, who can ignore his running and hard work on the court? Yes, the score does not lie, but the story and sweat behind the score are the true meaning of this game. However, the Nets have given Thomas significantly more resources than Bridges. This can't help but make people wonder if the Nets have set their sights on Thomas as the focus of the team's future construction.
Speaking of the Nets, I have to mention Harden's ridiculous trade. In retrospect, should Rockets fans thank Harden? Those future draft picks are simply a treasure for the Rockets. Even if the Nets don't sign particularly well this year, who's to say that the Nets won't be worse off in the next three years?
The Rockets, a team that already has six sons, really don't seem to have too much talent. 40 wins this year seems like a piece of cake for them. But in the offseason, the Rockets will have a tough choice. Shen Jing and Jalen Green, these two future stars, who should the Rockets keep and who to release? Behind every choice, it is a bet on the future.
At the end of the day, though, the future of rockets is bright. Next season, they certainly won't be the same again. After all, there's a limit to what you can do, right? Besides, after a year of running-in, the Rocket boys should have grown up.
In short, the game between the Nets and the Pistons, although it seems insignificant, has too much to think about. The Nets need to rebuild, and the Pistons even more so. As for the rocket, it seems that it has gone a little further on the road of the future. After all, who doesn't want to occupy a place in this alliance?
Back to the game itself, the Nets' final victory, although it can't change too many facts, at least proves that they still have a fight
