In the Los Angeles Lakers' second consecutive home win over the Houston Rockets 119-117, Lakers forward LeBron James once again showed the outside world what he could do in the fourth quarter with good health and physical strength. 14 points in the final quarter, including a consecutive 10 points, helped the Lakers open the score. Throughout the game, James shot 13-of-21 from the field, including 2-of-4 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, 30 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals. According to statistics, James got 30 points and 10 assists again in 36 years and 307 days.
History first, longer than the old Zhan! The art industry has a specialty, admit it, the Nets should go the most people are you.
James successfully surpassed John Havlicek with this game to become the second oldest player in history to get 30 points and 10 assists in a single game, and in the history of the NBA, the oldest player with 30 points and 10 assists is no one else, it is Nets coach Steve Nash, who has 30 points and 10 assists in 37 years and 359 days, which is close to 38 years old, exactly 1 year older than James.
As a legendary point guard, Nash's career was brilliant enough in addition to failing to win the championship ring, and his career total assists were only surpassed by Chris Paul in the first two days, but Nash still ranked fourth in the league's history of assists, the top three being John Stockton, Jason Kidd and Chris Paul.
With the exception of Kidd, who won the championship trophy with the Dallas Mavericks (The Lone Ranger) in the 2010-2011 season, the remaining three, including Nash, have all had a career-free title (Paul still has a theoretical chance). Counting Mark Jackson, who is the fifth in the all-time assist list, the five guards with the most assists in NBA history, adding up to only one NBA championship trophy, which is also a common problem of these great point guards, and the individual performance of the playoffs is always more real than threading the needle and driving teammates.
With 7 Teams of the Year (3 firsts, 2 seconds, 23rd), 8 All-Stars, 2 skill tournament titles, 5 NBA assists, 2 regular season MVP trophies, Nash's player resume is rich enough.
Like most good point guards, who have the ability to see the situation on the court, Nash also joined the NBA coaching team after retiring and became an NBA coach. However, the better the players seem to be the worse they are coaches, nash has not been an exception, may not have learned enough, Nash became the weakest point of the team at the Brooklyn Nets.
In his 18-year career, Nash was able to average 12.7 points and 6.7 assists per game in the penultimate season of his career, shooting 49.7% and 43.8% from the field and three-point range. Moreover, after retiring, Nash also started from the "bottom". At the end of the 2013-2014 season, retired Nash received an invitation in 2016 from his mentor Mike D'Antoni, who wanted Nash to come to Houston and coach James Harden and make the latter the perfect stadium commander.
For the Warriors, for Durant, Nash refused. He followed Durant to the Golden State Warriors that summer and became the team's player development coach, fully committed to helping Warriors improve their shots on the court, including some out-of-balance shots.
Nash's years in the Warriors have been incredibly successful, he is the warrior's behind-the-scenes hero, praise is given to the players on the court, but behind the scenes Nash dedicated, he helped Durant to raise his personal shooting to a new height, although Durant's ability has always been very outstanding, but after Nash helped him improve and strengthen, Durant ushered in the ultimate form.
Apparently, the incredibly close relationship with Durant allowed Nash to stand out in the battle for the Head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, and he followed Durant to Brooklyn. After signing a 4-year contract with the Nets in one go, fans applauded the arrival of the legendary point guard, apparently, they did not realize that this did not seem to be a good decision for the Nets.
Nash's playing career is brilliant enough, and his player development coach resume is good enough, but, anyway, before he became a Nets head coach, he was just a player development coach, and in the NBA, a new head coach, most of it will be selected from a wealth of experienced chief assistant coaches, and Nash, who has not even been an assistant coach, has not learned how to control an NBA team with Steve Kerr.
Not to mention the scheduling and command of the scene, even the offensive and defensive system, Nash has not let people see his cooperative playing style for a whole season at the Nets. Last season was fine, the Big Three took turns to singles, at least the players' physical strength and changes are still a little different, this season without Irving, Nash's attack is stretched. The average score per game fell directly from last season's second in the league to 20th place in the league this season, and this ups and downs are indeed too huge.
Defensively, Nash moved directly from the Warriors to the system of infinite change of defense, even with the previous little Jordan, Nash also asked him to change the defense, rather than encountering the block and squeezed, although the little Jordan performed average, but in the Lakers, he squeezed out Howard and became the starting center around Davis. Nash should go to an experienced head coach and learn enough time, otherwise, no matter how deep the Nets lineup is, it will still have to rely on Durant to support it.
