The Nets exposed a lot of problems in this game. The defense is still pulling the crotch, the rebounds can not grab the opponent, today the Nets only grabbed 42 rebounds, and the Heat team got 62, this gap is too big. In fact, the above problems, the Nets have always existed, but the most disappointing thing is that today's Nets have become very strange, and they have even become abnormally crotch-pulling offense.
Although the Nets did not defend well last season, they relied on their unparalleled offensive firepower and walked sideways in the league.
But this season they can't even understand the offense. Today they scored just 93 points, the Hornets 95 and the Wizards 104. Their average score per game is in the league's twentieth-highest, bottom-of-the-game rating. It's hard to imagine that this is the result of the Nets with a luxurious lineup.
The Nets' offensive downturn, in part, is due to Harden's poor performance. The bearded man who scored like chopping melons and chopping vegetables suddenly stopped "seeing". Today he played 36 minutes, but only 4 of 12 shots, continuing to become an iron fool.
He's the offensive core of the team, he's the engine of the Nets, and if he scores low, the opponent's defense against the rest of the Nets will be tighter, and the Nets' offense will become more difficult. Although Durant is strong, he is alone in the field. Fighting like that, Death Du was really too tired.
Today, Nash's platoon was also frantically complained by the fans, and the sound of class was endless. In the fourth quarter, Griffin was directly discarded by Nash. In fact, for Griffin, today has a different meaning, his career total score officially exceeded the 14,000 points mark, ushering in another milestone.
And today Griffin's plus-minus is +3, which is the highest in the team. But Nash just didn't use him in the fourth quarter.
Griffin shot 2-of-6 for the game, with 6 points, 4 boards and 2 assists. It is unrealistic to expect Fengo today to kill all sides on the offensive end. But he's on the court, at least to make the Nets' defense tougher and the Nets' rebounds slightly better. In the fourth quarter Nash reused Millsap, but it didn't work well. Millsap doesn't get many points on the offensive end, and he can't restrain opponents on the defensive end. When he was on the court, the Nets did not lose less rebounds, frequently allowing the Heat to grab the front court and complete 2 offensive points.
I wonder how Irving will feel when he sees the Nets' performance today? Is it to fight alongside the Duha brothers in disguise, or to choose to continue to insist on "self" and pursue the "freedom" he wants?
The Nets' next game is against the Pacers, brothers, do you think the Nets can win?
