On January 23rd, Beijing time, an NBA regular season ended today. The Brooklyn Nets lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-125 in an away game. They suffered two consecutive losses while losing two consecutive games.
In this game, the inside of the Nets was completely blown by the Cavaliers inside group, and the outside of the Nets was completely blown by the outside group of the Cavaliers!
Drummond played 27 minutes, shot 8 of 13, scored 19 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block; Nance played 31 minutes, shot 7 of 11, scored 15 points and 11 rebounds; Net veteran Jarrett Allen played 19 minutes, scored 19 points and 6 rebounds, and kicked the "butt" of his former club again.
The three insiders scored a total of 53 points. This is not counting the points scored by other players in the inside. How bad can the Nets' inside defense be.
On the Nets' side, Jordan is difficult to play alone. He played only 9 points and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes, which is not enough to watch.
As the saying goes, "Those who get insiders get the world", even in the small ball era, this sentence still works. The scoring ability of the inside players can be close, but at least they can defend, and they are as strong as the Warriors who have won three championships in five years. There are also big centers in the line, and there is more than one. Bogut, Pachulia, McGee, and Cousins are all ruthless characters.
According to FortyEightMinutes reporter Sam Amico:
According to several sources, the Nets are expected to soon pursue Cavaliers center JaVale McGee.
This news is not groundless. There are still two places in the Nets. They need at least one place to sign the center. According to previous reports, former 76ers power forward Noville Pellet plans to sign with the Nets. Even if Pellet signs with the Nets, this will not affect the Nets' pursuit of McGee, after all, Jordan has been embarrassed to use it.
McGee has the strength to play a starting center, and he also has championship experience. If the Nets can get McGee, the overall defense of the Nets will be qualitatively improved. The biggest question now is what chips the Nets have to impress the Cavaliers.It seems that the Nets can move and have trading value players, and only sick Dinwiddie remains.
