Is the Cavaliers stronger, or the Nets can't play?
What the Nets are currently facing, is it the flaws on the defensive end or the distribution of the ball on the offensive end?
The second game Cavaliers, the league’s top shooting guard Harden has scored within 20 points in two consecutive games. Perhaps in the previous game, if you want to see Harden score within 20 points, that is A very difficult thing, but by the current Irving, Harden is completely invisible. He has not played like himself at all. The signature retreat step by three points is like a six-channel magic sword, sometimes not; The scoring at the critical moment is even different. The Nets unfortunately ushered in a two-game losing streak after Irving’s comeback...
After such a game, the losing arrow and the responsible person , Together pointed to Irving who scored 38 points and 5 assists in this game; Irving who still helped the team score at the critical moment; Irving who has been very efficient throughout the game. It seems that Irving’s performance led to the loss of the game. After all, in the two games he played, facing the underdog Cavaliers, whether it was the Big Three or the dual-core, they all lost...
The reason for pointing the finger at Irving is actually very simple, because before Irving’s comeback, the Nets acquired Harden. Because Irving could not play, the combination of Harden + Durant first appeared in front of the fans. The meeting of the famous breakups ignited each other's desire to attack. Durant gave the ball to Harden, Harden gave the assist to Durant, Durant gave the shot to Harden, Harden took the key The ball was handed over to Durant, and the fans saw a very harmonious picture. They both scored 40+ and led the team to 2 consecutive victories! But everyone is worried about whether this situation will be broken after Irving returns!
The answer is yes. In the first game of Irving’s comeback, Harden retreated to the third line. His responsibility was to organize the offense and deliver shells for his teammates. So we saw the picture of Harden’s 0 shot in a single quarter. We Seeing that Harden scored a triple-double, we saw that Harden did not make more than 20 shots, and we saw that Harden did not score more than 20 points.We saw Harden who still gave up the ball to Irving at the critical moment. The sacrifice of this super scorer in the Nets was large enough! But in exchange, it was two losses and an imperfect self. I believe that at the moment of losing, he missed his big brother infinitely: Durant!
When Owen was interviewed by reporters after the game, he talked about the team's defense and performance, which is indeed not good enough! When the reporter reminded Kobe, he choked up. This day was the moment when Kobe used his own power to slaughter the Raptors, but he ushered in this day with a defeat!
9 years ago, fans would joke, Westbrook defended Durant + Harden!
Nowadays, a teammate whose scoring ability far exceeds that of Westbrook is standing next to his eldest brother and third brother, don’t you know it will get better?
