Recently, the Nets have encountered the biggest difficulties of the season, including Harden, a number of players have been unable to play because of the trigger of the health and safety agreement, which also led to the team in the previous game against the Raptors only 8 people can play, against Philadelphia game added a newly signed Galloway, but only nine people can play. But the Nets have all won in these two games, counting the previous two consecutive wins, they have recently won four consecutive wins, which is indeed unexpected by many people!
The reason why the Nets can win in these two games is largely related to Durant's perfect play, but it is also extremely important that the team can stand up except Durant, especially veteran Griffin! In fact, Griffin has been abandoned by Nash, but in the recent team staff shortage is very serious, Griffin has also returned to the team's rotation lineup, and became the team's starter!
In these two games, Griffin had 13 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 17 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, averaging 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 22 shots, shooting 11 of the shots, shooting 50%, three-point shooting 9 shots 3, shooting rate can also reach 33.3%, it can be said that the last two games Griffin's play compared with the average play of the season, has a very big improvement!
Previously, due to Griffin's average state on the offensive end and limited defensive ability, Nash pressed Griffin to the bench, and although Griffin was very reluctant, he understood the coach's decision very professionally. And now the team has encountered such a big difficulty, he has also found a good state last season, personal offense, rebounding, or organizational planning ability, all have a very good play!
It can be said that the difficulties encountered by the Nets this time are likely to give Griffin a very big turning point, and his performance in this period of time should make Nash re-recognize him, even if he can't squeeze out aldridge's main position, at least he can get a stable playing time this season, giving Harden and Durant enough help!
