The scene where Durant sent Watanabe a pass is a representative example of “trust”
Immediately after the season began, the Nets stumbled at the start with four straight losses, and at the end of the seven games, manager Steve Nash withdrew by mutual agreement and continued to be confused. But the Nets are now on a winning streak under the leadership of interim manager Jack Vaughn and are starting to catch on.
In the game against the Hornets of 5, he achieved an extraordinary comeback win with a run of 21-7 from 6 and a half minutes remaining in the 4th quarter at 98-94. Kevin Durant, the mainstay of the Nets, showed real play with 27 points in this match, but this great run was not down to Durant’s individual skill, but was born out of a team attack that scattered the passes.
The Nets are recovering as players trust each other and play as a team. The Bourne coach cited the scene where Yuta Watanabe, who received a pass from Durant, scored a 3-point shot as a game that emphasized “confidence”.
“After the game, I told everyone about a play,” Bourne said. “I asked Yuta Watanabe, ‘Have you met Kevin Durant?’. He drove from the right side and passed to Yuta Watanabe, who was open in the corner. The players trusted each other throughout the game and that game was representative of this. “
When asked about the matter, Durant also agreed with the commander’s remarks. “I’ve met Yuta before, but I’ve never sat down and talked to him for a long time, so I think he said no. But wait, Yuta, we played basketball together. But I know what the coach is saying. Trust me too if you don’t know the players well. If there is someone on the pitch and they are open, you pass him. That way (trusting each other) I think he will resonate. “
Watanabe in the Hornets game was active in attack and defense with 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and continued to stay on the field for 10 minutes in the 4th quarter. There is no doubt that he gained more confidence from the team by sinking a 3-point shot on Durant’s assist in the first place and becoming the center of the counterattack.
