The Nets don't have Irving or can't?
Durant's return + Harden's state has picked up, the two major MVPs are still difficult to prevent three consecutive home defeats, nash's semi-complete super super card hosting, is doomed to not work this season.
The double star projection state is sluggish, the total of 38 out of 13 is naturally the first to bear the brunt, and blindly accusing Nash is useless, the team configuration space and defense are still difficult to balance is still a difficult problem.
Durant took the lead, the defensive end frequently blocked the gun hole, still unable to escape the fate of the three quarters of the card to defeat the Grizzlies.
The Nets were slaughtered after being overturned by the Clippers in the last game, the inside line was lost by the explosive rebound, and once Clarkston was replaced to change the defense on the line, Morant was like shopping in the box.
The Nets' envisioned focus on team building this season is obvious to all - the original plan was to rely on the Big Three to provide firepower suppression, dominate a wave or take over the key ball in turn, and then make up for the lack of defensive functions by supporting roles.
The league's chief double-powered defender distributes cannonballs, the forward line with or without the ball ignores the counterpoint breaking point, coupled with the "180 club" offensive kaleidoscope, just looking at the configuration has belonged to the "rich battle" of offensive resource overflow, which is enough to restrain any kind of mainstream defensive system in Yokogawa.
Thanks to the huge pulling power of the offensive end of the three top scorers, the Nets can allow one or even two blue-collar supporting roles with the same lineup, such as the dynamic blocker to go down the frame, the foot-sized front line without the ball inside the basket or the defensive gate are ideal partners.
More than a pot of Nash platooning? The deformed lineup is also in urgent need of correction?
In order to fill the lack of defensive resources, the Nets targeted priority to eat the defensive sappers, and this season created a basic set of only 107.3 points lost in 100 rounds, ranking 6th in the league.
However, Irving's farce completely disrupted the layout of the off-season signing operation.
Because the Nets have invested too much in the construction of top stars, they have to face the rotation of relying on multiple partial basic salaries, which is the limitation of the Big Three model.
Fortunately, in terms of role players, there are Spurs Xuan Di's super cost-effective performance, which is to make up for the loss of immediate combat strength to the greatest extent.
Coincidentally, Irving's release of pigeons will cause a chain effect, the offense can not be full, trying to maximize the threat on the defensive end is not their winning code, the situation is the same as the Lakers who can't match the 40 million worth of Westbrook.
But the problem that cannot be ignored is that the Nets' overall space is relegated - Joe Harris, who can maintain an average of 2.9 three-pointers per game with 46.6% of the crosshairs, has not returned due to injury, and Griffin's perimeter shooting rate has fallen from 38.3% last season to 22.0%, directly fading out of the core circle by the perfect space-based interior line.
A number of blue-collar workers are no threat from the outside, if they can perform their duties, they are willing to do supporting roles to carry dirty work and blameless, but the rebounds are exploded, and the decline in defensive enthusiasm is visible to the naked eye, then none of them can be separated.
Of course, the Nets can only follow the cliché of super giant drive and puzzle assist, but once the supporting characters who drag the space cannot eliminate the negative impact of dragging the offense by actively participating in tactics, it will affect the play of the two main attackers.
The last quarter of the three quarters of the Grizzlies was also stopped by the bench to stop the bleeding and counterattack, so that the Nets would not lose to the bottoms.
In the case of the previous team suffering from large-scale personnel isolation and absence, Nash was forced to "do addition" and has also found several potential newcomers to replace the fish-touching veterans, and it is the general trend to use new talents to expand the rotation as appropriate to help the double stars reduce pressure.
A marshal is incompetent, exhausted by the three armies, when will the "pseudo-strong team" label be taken off?
The Nets are currently strong and weak, so far this season against the top four quality games in the East and West have not tasted a win, by the Bulls double kill, warriors, Suns, Jazz, Grizzlies, Bucks, Heat all take 1 point first; the abuse is still relatively stable, fortunately there are still hole cards unlit.
The new mayor of New York is also Xiao Zhicao, and did not implement the new policy of epidemic prevention, the so-called "payment of fines" for free body is more like a blank check, the Nets can not "fight against the wind", risking the world, then it means that expecting Irving to appear at home to play still has to draw a question mark.
To what extent can Owen, who works part-time and has been drying the net for two days, change the dilemma?
Thanks for your attention, welcome to discuss, Azhe is willing to "ball" with you to get the truth, all the way to the end of the world.
