Before Sexton tore the net in the second overtime, the Nets played ugly, but they still followed the script: open the defensive door, let you score casually, and rely on offensive goals and goals. Although the offense has no rules, but the hard power advantage is greater than the sky, and the family has more food to worry about. If you have no experience in bullying you, you will take the initiative in a few rounds.
Unexpectedly, the knight is not a soft persimmon.
In the last two offensive rounds in regular time, Harden failed to make a three-pointer with a retreat. Irving changed to a faceoff after an offensive foul.
Durant didn't receive the ball. I believe he has a higher success rate. But the handling of Harden and Irving , especially Irving, is obviously off-standard.
But after all, it is a tie, and overtime is fine. Generally, when a weak team pushes a strong team into overtime, they will force the strong team to fully fire, and then the weak team will be defeated, but the Cavaliers hold on.
After the start of the first overtime, Irving received a three-pointer and Durant made an emergency stop and made an instant lead by 5 points. Everything went according to the script. If the Cavaliers were defeated, it would be tragic enough.
But the Cavaliers are still not convinced, and there are indeed capital dissatisfaction. The Nets' defense line is full of loopholes. It is difficult to score a goal.
With 1 minute and 53 seconds left, Durant made a layup, 120-115, and is now 5 points ahead. Ordinarily, a little serious will not be caught up.
Then Allen hit a jumper, Nance hit a three-pointer, and Osman made an easy layup.
The point is that completed all three balls with assists .
The Nets' defense can at most save the first receiver, and the ball may be missed a little bit. Even if it doesn't miss anyone, the ball will be more fortunate as soon as it reaches the penalty area, because from the fourth quarter decisive battle to the two overtimes, the Nets have never used a center forward and have been playing Durant's small lineup at No. 5.
In fact, the first overtime,The Cavaliers scored 6 goals, 's first 4 goals were completed by 4 people , 3 assists. The last two came from Sexton and took over the game.
seems to indicate something, the Nets defense can not limit anyone, the Cavaliers leader Sexton has been ignited.
then comes to the second overtime.
Sexton's four three-pointers faced Harris , Irving, Durant and Green. Except Harden played it all over again.
Except for the second goal, Irving’s defense was one shot slower, and the other three goals were directly scored one-on-one. The defense was in place, but it was still in.
Harris tried his best and is not fit enough. Durant and Green are both high enough, but they have to take two steps back for fear of his breakthrough. Sexton is not afraid at all, so he can cast it when he pulls it up. Anyway, this is Lao Tzu’s territory. Illness is killing you, take it.
For the Nets, although it is only the first game of the Big Three, it is undoubtedly an ugly failure. Maybe it is not as good as the fourth quarter.
Two overtimes means that there will be no more ammunition and food. No team will not fight until the second overtime, because there is no choice.
This way of losing, of course, does not directly prove the failure of the Big Three, but it is enough to sound the alarm for the Nets: See how bad your defense is.
For Irving, who has finally returned, although he is the best Nets player on the books, the fact is that his comeback ended the Nets' winning streak, and the opponent he lost to is wearing Sexton in the Cavaliers No. 2 jersey he once wore.
The nets' flaws are simple and fatal.
The nets' problems are actually clear at a glance and do not need to be analyzed too deeply.
The three players are all very direct types, so the problems that arise are often very explicit.
After defeating the Bucks in the last game,Harden said in an interview that we haven't even practiced together.
Did you join Durant's double sword without training together? There may be part of the Thunder team's friendship, but that was 9 years ago, and both of them have changed a lot.
is mainly because two people do not need to have any specific cooperation at all, just take the ball and do it. If you don't cooperate, it is the best cooperation.
Both have the best offensive firepower in the league. Harden is one of the best passers. Durant ignores any defensive threats.
So you only need one mind to do your own thing, don't think too much, don't hesitate, what should you do.
That's it, Harden got into the Nets as soon as he arrived.
But once Owen came back, the situation changed.
As I said before, the roles of the three people have been assigned, Harden is the main control, the two main attackers, always keep two people leading the team.
is not that simple. Strong21strong summarized it in one sentence and thought too much.
In fact, Owen played very resolutely after the opening. He scored 17 points on 8 of 10 in the first half, which was unstoppable.
Irving’s idea is very simple. Regardless of whether there is Harden and Durant around, I will attack with the ball, a pick-and-roll or directly initiate a pick-and-roll without a pick-and-roll.
In fact, this is the most correct way of thinking. Unfortunately, the three people do not have the same thoughts, and there will always be inaccuracy. Once they are not going well, they think of cooperation, and when they cooperate, it reveals the lack of tacit understanding. Have practiced together.
thinks the more , the easier it is to make mistakes.
The Nets made 8 of the opening 8, 8 goals 7 to self-attack, Harden 4 Durant, 2 Irving, 1 to cooperate.
But there are 5 mistakes in less than 4 minutes, too much pursuit of success, the tacit understanding is not enough.
suddenly turned off behind,He was beaten 17-0 by the Cavaliers in less than 4 minutes.
The Nets of the Big Three have scored 17 points in 4 minutes. It is not surprising. Not a single point is too much.
connection stage 's lineup is not arranged , Nash choose to let Durant and Irving rest together at the end of the first quarter, Harden leads the team alone.
Obviously want to try the lineup. If it works, the two have more rest, and the Big Three will have more time on the court at the same time.
But Harden didn't want to make a shot at all. He didn't score a point in the first quarter, made 0 shots and 0 free throws. The Nets instantly changed from the Big Three to no one.
Since then, Nash has changed the rotation, always keeping the two giants on the court, and the big three are at the critical moment. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nash deliberately extended Durant's playing time, just to play with Harden and avoid leading the team alone.
However, it didn't help. At the beginning of the second half, Irving's touch also declined. Harden still did not attack, and Durant was ready to stand up.
Look at a stat:
Durant played 12 minutes in the third quarter, Irving, Harden, Green, and Harris played 12 minutes in the fourth quarter, and Durant played nearly 9 minutes.
's main force's time is all full, Durant tried his best, but still failed to win.
In fact, the Nets only need to seize a small opportunity to win, the hard power gap lies there.
Unfortunately, bad luck, and there is really no tacit understanding, the most important thing is to continue to make up for the defense.
The young knights, although not well-known, all possess unique skills. Watching Allen guarding the frame to block Harden continuously, and eating cakes under the basket like no one, you know how much loss the Nets gave up on him.
5 of the Cavaliers made 3 three-pointers or more. From this game, it can be seen that the Nets’ defensive deficiencies will cause a serious hidden danger:
As long as you don’t score,Opponents will become excited by your poor defense, become combative, and eventually all players will explode .
Unless they are crushed with a gorgeous offense, the opponents will gather and crush you. Everyone is a NBA player. If you don't defend, let's take a look at our potential.
At this point, this game has been concluded.
Attentive fans have noticed that the Nets' decisive lineup is the Big Three + Harris + Green. The so-called strongest offensive lineup is also a complete abandonment of the protection frame or even the defensive lineup, which is tantamount to gamble.
The entire Nets seems to be the same. The offense is smooth and smooth. The first two games are the two brothers working from start to finish. No one thinks about it.
Looking at it today, the Big Three want to reach 2+1>3. There is still a long way to go. Whether it can get through is unknown.
is just that once the offense is turned off, the ugly line of defense may develop the opponent into another Big Three.
