October 13th news, today's preseason Nets played against Bucks . The Nets' Big Three performed well, especially the tall forward group restricted Antetokounmpo to a very uncomfortable situation. Among the starters, in addition to Irving and Durant , Simmons also performed very well. He played 28 minutes in the game, made 3 of 5 shots, 1 of 4 free throws, scored 7 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, among which the number of assists was the highest in the game. Especially Simmons' defense against Antetokounmpo, the scene was better than his data.
7 points, 8 rebounds, 19 assists and 2 steals, 3 shots, 2 mistakes. At first glance, this data, coupled with his tough performance on the defensive end, makes people think of the Warriors' dream of chasing . In this game, Ben Simmons plays the role of the Nets chasing their dreams and organizes and defends the team well. He activated the offense and then showed a tough attitude on the defensive end. Bensi used his strengths to cover up his poor shooting to the greatest extent, allowing himself to find a suitable position in the Nets system.
Nets defeated the Bucks to win their first victory. Benxi played his masterpiece a year later, and it seems that everything is moving in the best direction. However, the only drawback is that although Benxi has transformed into a dream pursuit, he still has no progress in projection. The three-pointer still did not take a shot today. The most fatal thing is that his free throw doesn't seem to have improved, with only 1 of 4 free throws. For a forward line that does not shoot and needs to continuously hit the inside to create opportunities, if the free throw shooting percentage is unstable above 50%, it will be targeted by the opponent.
If only Bensi in the starting lineup has no basket, or the free throw is inaccurate, the problem is easy to solve. However, the center Clarkston is not good at free throws, and today it made 2 of 6, and its career shooting percentage just exceeded 50%. Such free throw shooting percentage may not be a big problem in the regular season, but it will be very fatal at the critical moment of playoffs . If the opponent adopts a slashing tactic, how should the Nets deal with it? How should Benxi deal with it? It doesn’t matter if you can’t practice three-pointers, but it’s best to practice free throws well, otherwise it will be difficult for the Nets to become the team that will reach the end!
