It can be clearly seen from the trading results that the Nets have done almost everything to get james harden. Nets sent away two potential players with fairly balanced offense and defense, which will put the Nets' defensive quality in a severe test next season. In order to welcome new teammates, Shmet also voluntarily gave up the 13 jersey he wore in the Nets and replaced it with the No.20, which shows that the Nets players still welcome Harden to join the Nets.
At present, the transaction result has been settled. Next, can the Nets achieve a breakthrough this season? Can you rush out of the East and even win the championship? All this depends on whether the Nets, the newly formed "Big Three", can produce a good chemical reaction and reasonably distribute the ball rights. Another important factor is the defensive quality of the team.
With the arrival of Harden, the offensive weapons of the Nets are more diversified and more threatening. It is no exaggeration to say that Durant, Harden and Owen are the strongest combination in the league at present. Scoring this season can be said to be a piece of cake for the Nets, but in this transaction, the Nets lost two inside defense doors. Under the threat of lack of inside guards, opponents can easily abandon the inside of the Nets. From this point of view, this is a fatal danger to the Nets, and it is definitely a stumbling block to the playoffs, the Eastern Conference finals and even the finals.
In contrast, the Lakers and Clippers in the west have a good inside frame, and their offensive and defensive abilities are very balanced, while the strength of the Bucks and Celtics in the east can not be underestimated. This season, the Celtics' Jay Brown and Jason Tatum have made great progress, and their key ball ability is more threatening than before. At present, Owen has been absent from the team for five consecutive games, and when he will return to the team is still unknown.
In the absence of Owen in these games, Durant let us see the appearance before the injury, and also assumed the position of team leader, leading the team to victory. Next, it depends on when Owen will return to the team and when he will play with Harden and Durant. At present, the offensive ability of the Nets is beyond doubt. Next, it depends on whether the owner or general manager of the Nets will operate and get a more cost-effective defensive player to make up for the current defensive loopholes in the inside. In Bian Xiao's view, the Nets will definitely make some moves. What do you think? Welcome everyone to leave a message. In addition, Harden has left the Rockets team where he played for more than 8 years. No matter what level, Harden also gave the Rockets the best eight years of their career. Only Rockets and Harden know the sadness. Now he wants to win the championship for the last time. Anyway, as fans, we only pay attention to pure basketball and don't be influenced by the news outside the stadium. We also wish Harden an early championship and hope that the Nets will have the last laugh!
