Simmons is still that Simmons, without any change.
After four preseason games, he did not dare to shoot three-pointers, 1 of 6 free throws, and his average data was 4.8 points, 6 rebounds, and 6.3 assists. He could do anything except offense. He was known as Brooklyn Green Jr.
He said he practiced shooting, but I don’t believe it. I have been tired of hearing such words in the past few years, and the game also says it all.
No, but I don’t know. I’m already 26 years old, so there’s no need to deceive myself anymore. Simmons’s shooting is a problem that he has not laid a good foundation. If he can’t make a shot now, he will not change in the future. Otherwise, he will have to practice for so long and practice early.
Some players make a living by shooting, some players can’t make a living by shooting, and Simmons belongs to the second type.
Like the offense, Simmons' defense has not changed at all.
Due to player size issues, Nets had almost no defensive plan for pick-and-roll last year. playoff faced the Celtics in the first round, and was even killed by Smart and double tanhua.
The joining of Xidi can greatly alleviate the pressure.
Preseason game against Bucks , his unlimited defense switching ability made Antetokounmpo very uncomfortable, combining consciousness, footsteps, sizes and confrontation. After the pick-and-roll, he can continue to oppress the opponent's ball holder, destroy the opponent's passing route, and eventually make mistakes.
You can't do it by asking Griffin and Ade to do it, so these two brothers will be abandoned in the first round. It is equivalent to the military training targets. There is no need to waste time and buy feelings for the audience to see.
For the Nets, Simmons is the absolute defensive core. He will deal with all star players in the new season. If the teammates can give some strength and reduce the team's points to not that ugly, the Western Emperor can compete for the Best Defensive Player Award in the new season.
Simmons' positioning in the Nets, such as Green to the Warriors.
is the main defense and support. It seems that there is no ability on the offensive end, but they all know how to use passes to cover up their weaknesses and create threats. This is the essential difference between them and pure blue-collar workers.
Blue collar and panacea, there is actually only a pass difference between the two.
In the four preseason games that were played, the Nets added many tactics, the most obvious of which was the Western Emperor and Irving & Durant hand-written and cover shots. The former was pick-and-roll, and the latter took the ball and pulled it out in one step, which was tried and tested.
Two attacks and one defense, and there are still a lot of shooters around you. Maybe the Nets are not as strong as they look, but they will definitely not be as weak as last year.
There are thousands of strong people, and the weak are only in the West.
