Come back again and welcome the second spring of the Nets! You can help Durant Harden realize his dream this season.

After the game between the Nets and the Pacers, Nash made a speech in the locker room: "We are a slowly growing team, please continue to unite!" After that, Nash passed the ball to Adebayor, which was the 20,000th game ball in Adebayor's career, and Nash sent an assist. The Nets locker room immediately burst into applause and cheers. The 36-year-old veteran has also waited for his own glorious moment. Adebayor became the 48th player in NBA history and the 7th active player who scored more than 20,000 points in his career. I have a question. If Adebayor didn't retire last season, will the Nets come to the end? With this question, let's talk about Ade.

After many careful examinations by doctors in the offseason, Ade finally got permission to return, and he returned to the big family of basketball net. In the regular season, Adebayor played five games, averaging 20 minutes, and got 12 points, 5 rebounds 1.4 blocks, among which the shooting percentage reached 64.3%, which was the highest in Adebayor's personal career. Of course, because of the potential influence of Adebayor's heart, Nash dared not use Adebayor too much, but even so, Adebayor directly helped the Nets win two games. 121The Nets were very passive when they played Philadelphia on October 23rd, but Adebayor and Mills stepped forward in the fourth quarter,12 scored 23 points, and didn't make a fake shot in shooting, making up the basket, hitting the board or eating cakes. In the last game, Adebayor played for 28 minutes, 16 got 10 points and 2 1 points and 8 rebounds (4 frontcourt). When the Pacers were about to tie the score difference, Adebayor stood up again and led the team to seal the victory, which made his career have 20,000 nights without regret. It is described by Harden's joke: "Ade's signboard is middle distance, and I think he can get 20 thousand by 10 thousand."

To tell the truth, when Owen was suspended by the Nets, the Nets lacked the third giant. The giants here, of course, do not mean fame or historical position, but players who can really contribute themselves on the court. Harden's performance has not been very good before, Durant struggled by himself, and the Nets' record did not improve. There are reasons for Owen's absence in this series of things, but in my opinion, Nash has to bear more responsibilities. I tried the combination of Harden and claxton in the preseason, and the effect was very bad, so Nash put Griffin in the center position. Judging from the attitude and positive degree on the court, Griffin worked hard and desperately, but his protective frame and antagonistic defense were really average, and the offensive end Griffin regressed more obviously, averaging only 5 points and 5 rebounds per game and shooting 22.6%. In this case, it is really necessary to increase Adebayor's playing time appropriately to relieve the pressure of Harden and Durant.

Of course, Nash did think of Aduh as Durant. Durant and Harden are bound to start, while Mills and Ade are substitutes. Nash thinks they have the ability to last a few minutes, but refuses to give defenders like millsap and Benbury too much time. Adebayor also lacks protection, and the pressure of attack and defense is great, which is also a great test for him. In this case, it is not easy for Adebayor to lead the team to win two of his five games and keep his shooting percentage above 60%. Even he is not inferior to the Spurs. Now it can be said that Adebayor is the third giant of the Nets. Without Adebayor's two games, perhaps Nash is now on the verge of class. Adebayor saved Nash and helped Harden tide over the difficulties.

When Adebayor and the Spurs broke up amicably, the Lakers also hoped to get Adebayor, but Adebayor quickly reached an agreement with the Nets, and there were some interesting stories in it. Six years ago, Adebayor left the Trail Blazers, and many teams threw olive branches to Adebayor, including the Lakers. However, in the process of recruiting Adebayor, general manager Kupchak was extremely arrogant. The Lakers showed off their past record in front of Adebayor, such as signing Gasol and almost getting Paul. , completely ignoring Adebayor's feelings and not talking about his position in the team. Naturally, Adebayor also lost the favor of the Lakers. In the process of recruiting Adebayor for the Nets, General Manager Max played an extremely important role. He won the championship with the Spurs and assisted Popovich. He has a very good relationship with Adebayor and Mills in private, and with the recruitment of Durant, Adebayor naturally came to the Nets. Compared with Griffin, Adebayor's attack and defense are more balanced and comprehensive.

If Adebayor hadn't retired last season because of heart problems, maybe the Nets would have come to the end. Adebayor belongs to the kind of star who can always save the team with steady play at critical moments. He is a top low-post scorer, who played at the No.5 position for the Spurs. Although he is old, he has flexible feet and can use his wingspan and maneuverability to limit his opponent. He is a very clever player. Imagine if Durant had Adriano around him in the Nets Bucks Series, would he still play so hard? Last season's basketball online failure was actually a lack of offensive level, and only Durant could trust it. In fact, Adebayor, like Harden, has long been recognized for his career, but he lacks a championship ring. This season, he chose to return to the Nets with only one goal, that is, the championship. I hope Durant+Harden+Adebayor's new Big Three can realize their dreams this season.
