The New York franchise has had a significant improvement in the last month of 2022 which gives them a boost ahead of the playoffs and the finals of the current season. What are the reasons for his development?
The numbers of brooklyn nets in December 2022, they impressed: eleven consecutive victories and a review Boston on top of Eastern Conference. But this situation is not explained by statistics, but by intangible issues such as the identity and support of the dressing room for the new coach, jacque vaughn.
For the first time since the arrival of the Kyrie Irving Y Kevin Durant In 2019, the coach was publicly supported by his two stars who have not yet expressed any discomfort with him. neither Kenny Atkinson neither Steve Nash they enjoyed ‘immunity’ in this sense. “Gives you peace of mind when you walk into the locker room. No one is forced. He holds himself to a high standard and leads by leading by example. As our leader, I learned something from him, is able to maintain relationships with everyone and bring out the best in everyone“sure irvingendorses his coach.
“When you follow the game plan and it works, it makes you start to believe more in what we do every day. I feel like we didn’t have an identity in the beginning, and now we’re starting to discover it in the this week. We stand by whatever Jacque raises“expressed Duranton the line with his colleague, after the last fight against trumpet.
Vaughn, Brooklyn Nets home man
This is the seventh season in the organization for Vaughn. It’s hand in hand Sean Marks in 2016 and became confident to lead the team on an interim basis if needed. He did so in 2020 with the departure of atkinsondirecting fourteen games, and he did it again in November at the farewell of Nash.
In this last section, which is not yet known about who will lead the team, Vaughn he led four games with two wins and two losses. He didn’t touch the big stuff and moved on, waiting to see who would take over. When all the rumors pointed out Ime Udoka As a relay, the sports management of nets surprised proof Vaughn, and the results are in. Since that day, at Brooklyn They have 19 wins and five losses.
Brooklyn Nets, the strongest team in the NBA
Only the Boston Celtics won a game in December against the Nets, at Barclays (92-103), where Brooklyn had won four straight. If it weren’t for that result, today we’d be talking about a tie at the top of the East. December 2022 is already the winningest month in franchise history. This is related to the fact that they have also been the best attack in the NBA with a ‘rating’ of 123.4 points per game. His outside shot efficiency is the best in the league in both field goals (55.2%) and triples (43.6%).
It’s not about improving shot accuracy, but also its selection, and the generosity of its players who average 27.5 assists per night, surpassed only by the Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors. While public opinion agrees that the best offensive duo in the league is Tatum and Brown on the Celtics, Irving and Durant deserve to join the debate. During the eleven-game winning streak, they averaged 29.2 and 29.6 points respectively for a combined 58.8 points between them.
Vaughn found the key to the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA
When Vaughn took over as manager it wasn’t easy. Udoka’s shadow is long, he lost the first game, Kyrie Irving is suspended indefinitely and Ben Simmons is injured again. But Vaughn started to turn things around, literally growing the team by inches. Fewer minutes for Patty Mills, Cam Thomas and Seth Curry while TJ Warren, Japanese Yuta Watanabe and Edmond Sumner became prominent.
They said that he showed in the locker room a statistic that reddened more than one, because it showed a crisis in the figure where the attitude plays the most on the court: the rebound. Kevin Durant commented that the way he closes the rim has improved and the number of sacks has increased after the shot as well as the second chance.
The Nets gained confidence in the decisive moments. Six of those eleven victories came in the final minutes and Barclays fans are excited for future duels against Milwaukee or Boston. And then there’s Ben Simmons, who was one of the top players on both sides of the court in December. He scored more easily, also helping his ability to assist two big stars.
