113-125, the Nets lost to the Cavaliers away and suffered two consecutive losses!
After the game, Nets coach Steve Nash accepted an interview with reporters and talked about his views on the game:
"Like I said, we were fine a few days ago , Now that's it, lost two consecutive games in Cleveland." Nash said.
As for the reason for the loss, Nash believes that the main reason is not doing a good job in the ball and interfering with the opponent's shot as much as possible:
"I think our 50% of the ball is in the league, interference with shooting and floor-ball fighting Worst of all, I just have to find a way to play harder... Our lineup is not a defensive lineup, we must pay more attention to these things." Nash said.
There are also personnel changes. Nash admitted that this is a relatively new lineup and there are many problems to be solved:
"We have a lot to do, and there are a lot of things to be solved. It's still early , As you said, this is a relatively new lineup. Irving returned after two weeks of absence, Harden joined the team, Durant truce, a lot of things hit us. I don’t want to overreact, but we have to do our best It is possible to solve these problems, in addition to the floor ball fight, there are some planned things." Nash continued.
Nash also said that what the coaching staff can control is the fluency of communication and the familiarity of skills and tactics. The reinforcement of the lineup is the management's business:
"We must control some things that can be controlled, we cannot control the introduction Support more defensive players, but we can control the clarity of communication, as well as the training plan. We train on every rest day, and we review on match days. We just need to continue to polish and continue to improve these aspects." Nash said.
Speaking of the rotation lineup arrangement, Nash revealed that starting Jeff Green is to increase the overall height of the second lineup:
"We are constantly looking for the best rotation method, Jeff Green tonight The reason for not starting is that the second team is too small.So, we want him to partner with Perry in the second team... Harden will lead the second team, we will continue to solve this problem and continue to discuss. "Nash said.
The player who replaced Jeff Green in the starting lineup is Joe Harris. His positive/negative value in this game is -18, the team's lowest!
