In this game, where did the Nets lose?
The role players play, in fact, are only secondary, mainly because Steve Nash's ability to distribute the ball and arrange the troops is too bad, mainly reflected in the following points:
One: Durant has no ball.
KD scored 20 points in the first three quarters for 30 minutes, but after entering the decisive stage, he could not touch the ball.
For the entire fourth quarter, he only got 3 shots.
If you don't hide your name, Digo will think that this is just an ordinary 3D player.
In this game, Durant's efficiency is obviously higher, but Nash concentrated the ball on Harden in the fourth quarter, which is simply incomprehensible.
Giving the ball to the strongest ball in the team, this simple tactic, even Billy Donovan understands, Nash does not understand...
Two: The playing situation of role players.
Millsap, at his peak, was a good star player, now, what is his use?
The words are a bit blunt, which may cause displeasure, but in fact, his fuel tank is really out of oil.
In the fourth quarter, Nash let Millsap play a full nine minutes, and the latter lost all three of his shots, including an open three-pointer on the left.
Can't attack, can't defend, can't even do the most basic rebounding protection.
Even so, Nash was reluctant to go up to Griffin and Aldridge, not just unwilling to go up, but throughout the fourth quarter, both of whom were hidden in the snow, and the bench was worn...
After losing today's game, the Nets' record reached 2 wins and 3 losses, officially falling out of the top eight in the East.
As a team that aspires to impact the championship trophy, this result is really unsatisfactory.
Nash, on the other hand, is clearly the most responsible.
The resume of the player era did not bring bonuses to his coaching career, and the tactical arrangements at both ends of the attack and defense were disappointing.
If the Nets' subsequent record has not improved, Nash is not far from leaving class.
Look at Durant's helpless look...
