Lakers and Nets this season is really called The Dragon Phoenix, the Lakers some time ago Westbrook and James have been crazy spit, the team's record has not been able to rise, the prospects for this season are still worrying; the same is true for the Nets, Irving for their own decision, became a part-time player, and Duha led the team did not have too good results, earlier also by the famous Shams broke the Nets open to trade Harden, and is negotiating with the 76ers, really messed up into a pot of porridge. And in this game against the Jazz on February 5, Beijing time, Harden was absent, led by Irving to challenge the Jazz away, is this the Nets to end the losing streak, or to achieve the seventh consecutive defeat of the season? Let's wait and see.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the Nets suffered a big loss as soon as they came up, and the Jazz directly demonstrated the advantages of the ground snake, quickly playing a wave of 10-0 offensive climax, and the Nets began to fall into a passive situation. Fortunately, they began to slowly wake up later, although only Harden was in this game, But Thomas and Griffin still supported the Nets' offensive end, and the two cut 7 points each in the first quarter to help the Nets bite the score, not to dig too much hole for themselves, still maintaining the suspense of the game. At the end of the first quarter, the Jazz led the Nets by nine points, 33-24, into the second quarter.
In the second quarter, the Jazz didn't seem to want to give the Nets a chance, and began to launch a fierce attack, opening up inside and out, and with Pascal's one layup hit, the difference between the two sides quickly reached 21 points. Then the Nets have been trying to narrow the point gap, but the Jazz always have someone to stand up and give a counterattack. Then the Jazz's outside line completely broke out, Conley and Gay hit consecutive hits to stop the Nets, and the situation on the court was completely tilted to the Jazz's side, and it seemed that the Nets had no power to fight back. At halftime, the Nets still failed to close the gap before halftime, and the Jazz led the Nets by 21 points to enter the halftime break.
Easy to fight again, this year's game has basically been settled, jazz stability is still the same, and the suspense of the game has basically ended. The Jazz have rained three points again this year, and their tactical literacy on the offensive end is very strong, each link is executed very well, and the opportunity to continuously empty three points comes out, quickly allowing the Jazz to pull the point difference to 30 points. Then the Nets' offensive end was chaotic, the defensive end was constantly pierced, and the game had been completely dissolved. The third quarter ended with the Jazz leading the Nets by 32 points 105-73 into the final quarter.
The final showdown in the final quarter began, in fact, it can not be called the final showdown, the game has no suspense, Irving hit the third quarter of the 20 shots 6 cut 15 + 3 + 6, Jazz Mitchell has also been off work, with 10 shots 8 cut 27 points, 3 boards and 6 assists. All that remains is a fight between the substitutes, which gives the youngsters some opportunities to improve. At the end of the game, the Jazz won 125-105 at home to the Nets, and the Nets have now swallowed an embarrassing record of seven consecutive losses.
I believe that this game has been a good proof of the current overall strength of the Nets, to put it bluntly, this lineup is promoted by the big three, less than any one, the strength has dropped outrageously. Now that Irving is on the court, Harden is getting more and more disappointed, Durant is entangled in minor injuries, and to be honest, the nets' prospects are really worrying. This Irving play is not very good, only 20 shots 6 in the whole game, cut 15 points, 3 boards and 6 assists, the offensive end of the face of the Jazz's defense is helpless, not to mention the defensive end. And this game jazz's three-point shooting rate is very high, the game is directly spent, and even we can see that the jazz do not need much high-intensity pressure in the second half, and enter the state of resting while fighting in advance.
The Jazz side is currently in good shape, Mitchell's performance is still as good as ever, and when Gobert returns, they also have good strength to compete for the title. The biggest regret is Ingles' injury, which has a big impact on their strength, and if they enter the playoffs, Ingles must be one of the keys to the Jazz's victory. This Jazz big win, more reasons are too weak opponents, it can be seen that the current Jazz's offensive system is still more dependent on the projection of the outside line, if you can add more offensive means, I believe that the Jazz must have better prospects in the playoffs!
