Upstream Observation｜Signing with Shumpert is not the end point
Shumpert
After getting Harden to form the Big Three, the Nets continue to improve their lineup. On January 31, Beijing time, the Nets officially announced that the team has officially signed defender Iman Shumpert, who is good at defensive defense. Together with the previously signed center Pellet, the team won two defenses in three days. Type player.
The strongest spear + weak shield, the Nets are looking for reinforcement
Needless to say, the offensive firepower of the Big Three, in the last game, they beat the Thunder 147:125 to get 4 consecutive victories, 147 points in a single game set a team record high, it is worth mentioning that Durant has not yet played.
In order to get Harden, the Nets paid a great price, the lineup was completely out of balance, and almost all defensive players were replaced. After Harden joined the Nets, the team won 6 wins and 2 losses. Although the team averaged 125 points per game, they also lost 121.5 points per game. In the game against the Cavaliers on January 21, the Nets were defeated by opponents. Scored 147 points. So far, the Nets have averaged 116.2 points per game, ranking 26th in the league in defense, only higher than the Timberwolves, Bulls, Wizards and Kings.
Because of this, the team's signings all revolve around defensive players. The team's current defensive ability is very poor, so the team signed center Pellet. Shumpert, who was signed today, is good at defensively and has also been teammates with James and Irving during the Cavaliers. This may be one of the reasons why the team signed him.
There must be reinforcement in the follow-up
Drummond is the inside lane the Nets want most
Although two defensive players were signed within three days, this is just a basic operation, and the team may have big moves next.
The reason for signing Shumpert and Pellet is that in addition to their defensive ability, the other reason is that the Nets need to sign two more players after completing the Harden deal, so that the number of players signing the official contract reaches 14 (After completing the Harden deal before, the team vacated 2 official contracts).
Pellet is little known. He played 24 games with the 76ers last season, averaging 9.7 minutes, contributing 2.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.29 blocks. Shumpert has played 459 games in his career, averaging 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals. In 2016, he followed the Cavaliers to win the championship. Although he is only 30 years old, his defense and three-pointers have declined. . He also played for the Nets last season, averaging 4.2 points in 13 games and shooting only 32.8% from the field.
To form the Big Three, the Nets' goal is to complete the goal as soon as possible within the championship window. At present, they still need to improve the lineup. If measured by the standards of competing teams, in addition to defense, the Nets also lack depth on the bench. There have been rumors in recent days that Cavaliers starting center Drummond intends to seek buyout to join the Nets. If it comes true, this will be the Nets' most successful reinforcement and officially rank among the championship contenders.
