The last time the team scored less than 80 points in a single game, it will return to 2016, when even Doncic was not in the team.
I think everyone is asking the same question now, what happened to the once proud team attacking? Do you feel that the team's offense now is very similar to last year's six-game losing streak? But at that time, it was affected by the epidemic.
What now? I don't think Kidd can understand what the current offensive spindle is?
Porzingis's regular rotation was really unbearable, and the pre-season claimed that he was healthy this season, saying that he was not sick or injured. After the opening of the game, the head coach desperately poured chicken soup, and as a result, the eyes were directly turned into lower back pain.
Less Porzingis puts Powell and Smith under more pressure on the defensive end. Powell is powerless against the powerful interior line, from the Spurs to the Nuggets, the opponent, no matter how big or small the player, sees that powell is in the middle and directly rides up. On the offensive end, the reduction of tactics, coupled with the lack of offensive means, Powell immediately became an offensive orphan.
Some people wonder why Powell is often named, he is obviously full of hard work. But hard work can represent everything, so do you still need ball quotient and physical fitness? Powell's team on the field had to bear the tired defensive defense, and could only rely on Masik to fight alone.
It has always been said that the new season emphasizes the interior attack, but today's interior score is 50-22, the inside line is not a gold opponent at all, Doncic passed the ball to the inside line, and then right in the middle.
The inner line is not OK, but what about the outer line?
Four starters three-point shots 19 hit just four shots? This is not a tactical plan, but a random shot that cannot open the space for offensive imbalance.
Smith and Hardaway two starters combined to get five points, how to win? Hadaway was hidden when he didn't feel good, and only had the function of turning back and running on the field. Smith can't hold the ball, can't play alone, and personally feels that he is only 3D and at best a 3D. It's really time to get Smith and Powell back on the bench, and Powell's current suitable position is the 7th 8th man, guerrilla leader position in last year's playoff G5.
Losing isn't scary, it's scary that you keep going to fail in the same way. We all know that the current player configuration is, the previous coaching staff left behind, with the sword of the former dynasty to cut the official of the current dynasty is not fair, is it possible to adjust in a timely manner, with the existing personnel to fry the appropriate dish? Know that the inherent lineup will lead to this result, and not change it?
Evil causes do not bear good results, and change is really necessary.
In the fourth year of your career, Doncic, are you ready to play?
The new blowing system does not say, the boss has not changed, the coaching staff is constantly trying to make him play more comfortable, but when there is no ball, there is a ball blindly thrown, the penalty does not score, and the terrible shooting rate is the same as the beginning of last year. It's been five games and it's time to wake up.
Finally, the coaching staff, make a little change.
