Nets won 7 games in the last 9 games, maintaining a high winning rate at home and away games, and its record has soared and rushed to the 6th place in the East, only half a win away from the Hawks, who are ranked fourth in the East. With the current momentum, it is very likely that they can reach the top three in the East within this month and return to the championship ranks.
The team's record is getting better and better, and the atmosphere in the team also seems very united. I think all of this is attributed to the new head coach Jacques Vaughan . Everyone knows that Durant and Irving are both players who are not good at expressing themselves. This is not conducive to the increase in the team's cohesion, which is also the reason why the team fell apart. Harden leaves, lack of communication, lack of chicken soup player, Warriors have Curry , the Nets are now Jacques Vaughan takes care of his job. Vaughan starts from his own experience and sets an example. I am not the Nets' first choice, but I really like to communicate with every player, enhance relationships with each other, and find the points of each player's expertise. During the game, I often communicate with every player. Although I don't know what I communicated, it can be seen that Durant, Irving, , Simmons, all like to communicate with Vaughan. At the same time, Vaughan often affirms the performance of other players, divides the responsibilities on all players, increases the confidence of the role players, and makes every player feel full of presence.
game tactical arrangement and personnel rotation are also more reasonable than Nash , because with the two indiscriminate singles players, Durant and Irving, try to simplify the cooperation. Simmons' lineup of 4 shooters is also from this, allowing everyone to bear the corresponding responsibilities on the court. While not being too addicted to singles, it also allows other players to do what they are good at and make decisive when they have the opportunity. The team does not put too much responsibility on Durant and Irving, so it is often seen that Durant or Irving does not need to take a lot of action. The result of the increase in confidence of the whole team is the improvement of confidence. In addition, Durant and Irving are pure Nets, which makes the team's cohesion unprecedented. Everyone encourages each other, shouts each other, and takes responsibility for each other. It has to be said that Vaughan has grasped the characteristics of the entire team's players and developed the situation in a better way.
In the game against Raptors , TJ Warren , who has not played for two years, re-emerged on the field. This player who killed all sides and even scored 50 points in a single game in the bubble rematch. After a serious injury, he stood on the court again, made 5 of 11 shots, scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, and scored the first goal in the first quarter. The Nets also defeated the Raptors in the first quarter. Which team like this has seen? Can you not be afraid? Judging from the performance of the game, Warren's offense is still there, the mid-range shot is still stable, and the physical confrontation is a little stiff. It can be said that the lottery Nets are pretty good. If they can return to the level of 15 points to 18 points per game, then Durant's genuine substitute will come. Finally, there is no need to go to Thomas to perform in disaster. The third ball-holding offensive point was found. After a careful look at the Nets' lineup, the offensive firepower is really beyond words. The only shortcoming is to encounter the defense and rebounding of the large inside line.
Tomorrow's Nets will usher in a big test. The Nets, who have won four consecutive games, will talk to the top Celtics , which is the top in the East. Last year, playoffs was swept by the Celtics. Now the Celtics ranks first in the East. Now the Celtics ranks first in the league. Tatum is in extremely hot again. Whether the Nets, which are in full swing, can bring some trouble to the Celtics? Let's wait and see.
