NBA regular season continues, the Nets challenge the Kings away. Before the start of the game, the Nets were in good condition, and their two-game winning streak put themselves in third place in the East. The King's side is different. Although they played well for a while, they fell to the bottom. After three consecutive defeats, the team showed its shape. The two teams showed different situations, and the game was naturally different.
In this campaign, the Nets main player Durant is absent, leaving only two of the Big Three to play. The Kings lineup is still relatively neat, and the injury situation is not as complicated as the Nets. However, in terms of paper strength and star power, the Nets are clearly above the Kings, which is beyond doubt, even though the Nets defense has always been a big problem for the team.
After four quarters of the game, the Nets finally won the game without any suspense. When conducting an in-depth analysis of the game after the game, some interesting things can also be found.
1. Big brother no longer has Harden and Owen, role players provided help
After the Nets formed the Big Three, they didn't actually play too many games together, and the time to fit together was quite short. In this campaign, Durant missed the game due to injuries. Although the King's strength is worse than himself, it is a test of Irving and Harden. In fact, when Harden and Irving played together, the team record was not very good.
Match chart
Harden here is not deliberately suppressing his offensive desire as he used to do. After all, his eldest brother Durant is not there and he has to take on some offensive tasks. Harden made 18 shots and hit 10 goals, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, and scored 29 points. More importantly, Harden revitalized the team's offense, sending out 14 assists and 13 rebounds. He also helped the team win while getting a triple-double.
The other core of the Nets, Irving, is more efficient, hitting 15 goals in 22 shots and 9 of 11 from beyond the three-point line. Irving downplayed his 40 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, and he did it in less than 31 minutes. Irving’s task is to tear the King’s line of defense, whether it’s singles or individual possession or catch and shoot.He showed off his 180 club members.
The main players of the Nets in this game are impeccable, and the role players are also online. Bruce Brown did not score in double figures in the starting lineup, and the rest of the players scored in double figures. Nash used four substitutes, of which only Rwaou did not score in double figures. Shamet, Jordan and others are all very good at sharing the worries of the main players, and they are also indispensable. In fact, the Nets need this picture to appear, so that the main players can relax.
Comparison of main data
2. The king bloomed more to no avail, Whiteside ate dumplings
The king sent Hilde + Barnes + Bagley + Joseph + in this game Fox's starting lineup can be said to be their best combination. As far as this set of starters is concerned, in this game, except for Barnes who is relatively lax, the rest of the players are basically normal output, with two scoring 20 points and two close to 20 points. In terms of bench players, they are actually pretty good.
The king of this campaign appeared to be more blooming, but it was of no avail. Judging from the game trend, the Kings actually only played two and a half quarters. After the middle of the third quarter, the Nets suddenly used a wave of force to take away the game, after which the Kings had no room to resist. Judging from the scene, the king is indeed very lively, but they really don't have much to deal with Harden and Owen.
In fact, this is the case with a team like the Kings. If he can bite the score, he will always be able to stand in a stalemate with you. Once the rhythm of the crash occurs, it will be more difficult to come back. The Nets are different from other teams. Their offensive firepower is strong enough, and the Kings will naturally lose sight of one another.
If you want to say that the King's performance is more eye-catching, it is the white side Whiteside, he can be said to have eaten dumplings in this game. Dabai played less than 24 minutes, but he played very efficiently, hit 12 goals in 15 shots, and basically focused on the basket. The Nets basically had no choice but to do with the white side. The white side scored 26 points and 16 rebounds and played a masterpiece of the season.
3. The Nash transformation has miraculous effects,The King’s defensive strategy is ineffective
Nash has changed again in this game. His starting lineup is Brown + Harris + Green + Owen + Harden, and Jordan is placed on the bench. I have to say that Nash's changes are effective. This small lineup has played its own prestige. The Kings are very uncomfortable with the impact of the Nets' small lineup, even though the Kings have players like big white sides inside.
In fact, at this time of the season, Nash has his own coaching style. He will not stick to a lineup, but will match the starting lineup according to his opponent and his lineup. The team has adapted to this kind of change, but the opponent has been put under the ecstasy, and the preparations before the game are lost. Of course, Jordan was very useful when playing off the bench. He easily scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. The positive and negative values on the court were as high as +22.
Actually Durant doesn't play this game. For the Kings, the defensive pressure will be less. After all, they did not directly face Durant's players. No one thought that even if Durant was not there, the King's defensive strategy would be ineffective, and the Nets double giants played out.
In this campaign, the Nets didn't have much chance to score fast breaks, but the Kings had no way to limit the Nets in a positional battle, especially to make the Nets crazy output on the outside. The Nets threw 27 three-pointers from the outside in this campaign, and the two giants Irving and Harden threw 15 together. The Kings defense was completely torn by these two men. While they were exhausted, they could only watch being blown by the Nets duo.
Fourth, the Nets loopholes are obvious, the Kings want to enter the playoffs need to be adjusted
rebounds did win this game, but they still exposed their lineup loopholes. In terms of insiders, this is something they cannot solve. The Nets allowed a center with a strength at the 18th line to get a 26+16 large double-double, which is enough to see how empty their inside line is. If the Nets encounter a more luxurious or balanced team, this may not be the result.
On the other hand, defense also bothers the Nets. The Nets relied on strong offensive firepower to win, relying on a wave of 20-0 to defeat the Kings.It also made them unable to come back. The Nets lost 125 points, which is actually very high. The Nets need to solve the problem of weak defense, otherwise it will be a great hidden danger.
To some extent, the Kings actually gathered a large number of talented players and have completed the reconstruction. It's just that the king's management has had problems in the past two years, and often made some faint moves. As far as their goals this season are concerned, they are definitely going to hit the playoffs. After all, if the team's current configuration is still going to be bad, it is indeed a waste of talent.
The state of the Kings this season is actually ups and downs. The beginning of the season fluctuated greatly. The previous period was a good game. Fox won the best of the week. It's just that they have had problems recently, which is a common problem with young teams. The Kings have to make adjustments in time if they want to enter the playoffs, otherwise it will be very difficult to squeeze into the playoffs in the competitive environment of the West.
Summary
The Nets won the ball and narrowed the gap with the No. 1 in the East. The accumulated number of wins can also help Durant to heal. The regular season is not very important to them. The playoffs are the stage for the Big Three. The king's loss is not the end of the world, as long as the summary can be adjusted in time, he will catch up.
