Nets is one of the worst teams since the start of the game. When he suffered a four-game losing streak, he fell to the bottom and barely defeated the weak Pacers before ending his losing streak, but he lost to Bulls again last time. Logically speaking, having the configuration of the Big Three should not have such a poor performance, but the Nets have gathered many problematic players, and it seems reasonable that they are sluggish.
But in the game against Wizards , the Nets won a 42-point victory, and when Simmons was absent due to injury, Irving was suspended, and Durant led the team alone, why did the Nets easily win?
It should be noted that Nets head coach Nash was also just fired by the team. The one who temporarily handled his job was assistant coach Vaughan. If Nash continues to coach, it will be difficult for the Nets to play such a good game. Because judging from Nash's performance in the past two years, he does not have any offensive and defensive system and relies heavily on the personal abilities of superstars. The Nets lost more than ten consecutive games last season. Even if the Big Three are not present, they will never be able to win a game. Later, the Nets were able to enter the playoffs, and Durant Irving broke out in turn. It can be said that most coaches in the league are more capable than Nash. And Vaughan obviously has a clearer coaching idea.
Simmons did not play, the Nets' defense was not affected at all, the offensive end has a large space and strong scoring ability. Simmons was the All-Star and was the best defensive player candidate. With physical fitness and no shooting, he could average more than ten points per game in NBA. But now Simmons dares not fight, and does not dare to make moves and fouls on defense. He is afraid of his offense and takes two or three shots in one game. When Simmons was on the court, the Nets' offense was very stagnant. He could not open up space. He was not threatening to hold the ball, and scoring could only depend on the personal abilities of other players. Now Simmons has no previous super consciousness on the defensive end, and he often leaves the court with 6 fouls, which has become the team's weakness.
Irving averaged 27 points per game. If he didn't count the last game, he could average more than 30 points per game. It will be very difficult for other teams to lose such a scoring point. But at the Nets, it makes other players more motivated. As many as 7 players in the team scored in double digits, and out of 11 people on the court, 10 of them scored. Everyone runs actively on the field and executes tactics while enjoying sharing the ball. Therefore, the Nets made a rare smooth attack, and 32 assists set a new season high.
Durant himself has the ability to lead a single core team, which has long been verified by the Thunder. When Westbrook and were reimbursed for the season, Durant still led the team to win 59 wins. In this game, Durant scored 28 points, not reaching his season average, but he gave 11 assists, which was his new high this season. Leading the team with a single core has also brought Durant back to his MVP mode.
Irving is not present, everyone is obviously more energetic because the team lacks a cancer. No one wants to be a teammate with a fairy who makes a lot of noise at any time, as he will bring a lot of unnecessary troubles and troubles. Irving was suspended, and everyone became more united. The goal was to win, and there were not so many other messy things.
