Nets’ decreasing block rate coincides with scheme change

Undoubtedly, after seeing Nets's best rim protection of the season has supplied fuel to the simplest defeat of the year, it asks a clear question: Where was this?

And can they do it again?

Six blocks on Wednesday in Charlotte are the best season, and Nets 8 was a shy top mark.

The whole NBA rarely showed a rim protection from the team that came that night.

“I talked to Jordi [Fernandez]Krakston wants to affect the ball defender. ” “That's my challenge, I'm just thinking about how to do it with our defense, especially on the ball side.

“This season, honestly, it was defensive for me, because it's a different scheme. It's different for me, but I'm growing into what I want to be me. … Pick And roll defense is very different from what I am used to, but there are definitely many fields that can be grown.

Changing the scheme cannot be exaggerated.

Fernandez's defense, especially against pick -and -rolls, is different from the previous coach, Jack Varnes and Kevin Olly.

And it was the coordination of all big games, craxstones, daylon Sharp, and Noah Crawnie.

“Now, now [Claxton’s] Pick and rollment fence is what we want from him. It is aggressive that uses his length and confuses basketball. And it's the same when he's Roman or when he protects the edge, “Fernandes said.

“The other is not to make the center healthy, so the fact that we had taught and passed the process could not pass through the process, so the process is a little late. But when we do what we need, we are the best defense.

The Internet was a good switch happy for many years, but Big was able to protect the rim. Currently, under Fernandez, Bigs is assigned to defend Pick and Roll, Dengeki Battle, and Trapping Ball Handler more aggressively.



“Last year, there was more to maintain the center in the rim,” Sharp told the post. “”[Vaughn] We wanted you to block everything. [then] Please block it. No matter who is Roman, we try to block it. Jordi has another concept. So you have to buy it, try to work.

“Now, you need to know,” Oh, I'm not a low person, so I have to sink. Or, when it is on the screen, a jab pocket, high hand. And when they rotate, Roman has to pick up the center, so I have to rotate. That's why it's just different. ”

Different, adjustment.

“I don't really like making excuses. I need to make it better. When asked about a new scheme, I paused for a long time and said Krakston. “”

Is it good or bad?

“If we are smiling at the end of the day, I have to maximize my abilities,” Krakston said.

The same applies to Sharpe and Clowney.

“Our baseline coverage is different,” CLOWNEY posted. “That's not that much. Do it and do it at a high level.”

For each of the 100 owners, Craquston saw his block dropped from 4.1 in 2022 to 2013 to 3.4 from 4.1 when he won the annual votes.

Sharp decreased from 2.4 last season to 1.4, but Clowney is almost half from 2.1 to 1.1.

“Our coaches want to do various things,” said Sharp. “But it comes with a different coach. Geordi is the fourth coach in four years, so you have to learn how to adapt to different defense every year, but as Jordi said. We can play hard and we can do it as long as he wants to do it.
