In the first game, he scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and faced , Heat in the second game, 4 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.
In this game, Simmons played his best personal performance in the preseason. Although he scored in single digits, he did a good job in defense and tandem offense. The Nets quickly opened the score in the first quarter, which had a lot to do with Simmons. Antetokounmpo was also at a loss under his defense. Simmons' performance today fulfilled his mission and completed the task well.
Nash is right, the Nets do not need Simmons' shooting. Whether he scores 2 points or 20 points, Simmons can play an important role on the court. He is not only a point guard but also a center forward. He is a special player who can do a lot on the court.
KD If you want to win the championship, you also need Simmons' strong support. In the past two seasons, the combination of Durant and Irving has been proven that you have more offense, insufficient defense, and lack effective sorting of offense. Both aspects happen to be what Simmons is good at. He was one of the DPOY candidates in the 2020-21 season. He has a tall and strong figure and can calmly fight inside players like Antetokounmpo. Simmons's specialty is his career as a point guard after all, and his average of 7.7 assists per game proves his true assist ability. With Simmons, the Nets' lineup has become more reasonable. They have encountered too many doubts last season. They are full of motivation in the new season. Are you optimistic about the Nets' championship this year?
