Looking at the games they have played, we can find that the Nets have such characteristics: strong attack and poor defense. It is precisely because of the gap between the defensive ends that they lost to the Cavaliers in the middle and lower reaches of the league. This game against the Cavaliers, the two sides came and went in the regular time, playing very anxiously, and finally the game was dragged into overtime, and it was double overtime. In the last overtime, the Cavaliers stormed the Nets, which eventually led to the Nets losing the game.
The Nets' defense is really bad. If you want to win the basketball game, you should not only do a good job in attack, but also do a good job in defense. Isn't there a saying that defense is the core of basketball game? A team without defense can't get too good results. The Nets are now in such an embarrassing situation. Look at their start. Jordan and Green are not the main scorers, but they do defensive work. But in terms of effect, these two people can't do anything about each other's inside impact. Defensive dislocation has become a common occurrence. Look at Owen Durant and Harden. All three men scored very well, but their defensive enthusiasm was not high. Owen's physical condition is average, and it is almost impossible for him to have good defensive efficiency. Harden is famous for not defending. Durant wants to defend, but he can't form a defensive gate alone. Therefore, the Nets lost the most points per game this season. You know, the Cavaliers are also known as the iron brigade. It can only prove that the Nets really need to pay attention to defense.
How far can the Nets go this season? Only by scoring offensively, not relying on defensive stability, the Nets believe that this season is at most the level of a round of playoff tour. If you don't believe me, you can look at those teams that don't like to defend. Which one went far in the playoffs? In my opinion, the most enjoyable thing about basketball is not that a few outside players throw three points there, but that the attack and defense are in full bloom, the attack is diversified and the defense is of quality. This is the performance that a strong team should have. Here, I also hope that the Nets can realize their own shortcomings and fill the shortcomings as soon as possible.
