Last season, Joe Harris shot over the league with 47.5% of his three-pointers in his regular season. However, in the past two playoffs, he has always been in a sluggish performance in the playoffs. The high-pressure defense of his opponents in the playoffs and his defensive end are often managed. By the 2020-21 season, there will be a big three. As he opened up the offensive space, his offense in the playoffs might not be so unbearable, right? It’s a pity that he disappointed the Nets fans again. After a season, he faced the Bucks in the last five games of the Bucks series with three points. He made 8 of 33 shots, averaging only 7 points, and the Nets also lost four of the last five games and missed the chance to enter the Eastern Conference Championship…
For Harris, the series against the Bucks may be the biggest nightmare of his life.
However, as the Eastern Conference powers sharpen their knives during the off-season and want to reinforce the championship in the Eastern Conference, Harris must quickly cheer up, find out his problems, and regain his self-confidence as a shooter, and shoot for the Nets’ perimeter firepower. Cannon fire, hit the opponent in good time. Let’s first talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Harris in the past.
Advantage 1: empty-handed running
The following is a snippet of Harris running empty-handed in the 19-20 season. The first essence can be seen when he prepares the timing at a 45-degree angle. After the defender is transferred to the high position DeAndre Jordan, he can guide the ball to his own hand by the defender’s screen. , Finally relying on a simple screen from the center to get a 3-pointer.
In the second clip, the defender was wary of thinking that Harris would go to the perimeter to shoot a three-pointer. Instead, Jordan’s small ball was passed to Harris, who ran into the penalty area and cut into the penalty area empty-handed.
The third clip is also a scene that Harris most often cooperates with high-level centers, relying on Jordan’s screen to take the ball at the top of the lake and C&S.
The fourth clip is to show Harris’ good interpretation of the stadium, and his Give and Go judgment is good.
Advantage 2: The function is not just a pure shooter
In addition to shooting from the perimeter in these two seasons, Joe Harris has also developed the ability to take one step in the mid-range jumper. His scoring hot zone at the beginning of his career was roughly in the three-pointer and penalty area layups. The percentage of mid-range scoring was always less than 4% of the total. In the 19-20 season, his mid-range score accounted for 4.4%, 20-21 The season accounted for 4.9%. This season, his 15-24 feet mid-range range totaled 101 shots from 201 and 50.2% from the field. The effect was not bad.
Although he couldn’t finish with a dunk after entering the penalty area due to his physical condition, his ability to finish with a tie rod and change hands after a breakthrough is also good. Due to his slow speed, he will use his body and the position after the cut to get his opponent stuck in. Behind.
Joe Harris also has a good sense of the ball, he is a very good team player, and will not take much possession of the ball. In these three seasons, the assists have been hovering around 2 times. He is not the main ball holder. Most of his passes can be passed only when he sees a gap, rather than actively creating a gap. But he is not without passing consciousness. As long as he sees a gap, he is absolutely willing to split the ball, which means that as long as the tactics run out or cause a defensive loss, he can pass in place. Such passing ability is really attributed to the motion offensive system of the former Nets coach Kenny Atkinson. This system requires players to have a clear mind and constantly use cut-in conduction to derive gaps. Therefore, players with good minds will be very popular. This is one of the reasons why Harris replaced Allen Crabbe in the late Nets.
Next, let’s talk about his disadvantages these seasons
Disadvantage 1: Slow lateral movement on the defensive end
The defensive end has always been a disadvantage of Joe Harris. It is not that he does not work hard. On the contrary, even though fans see him fully guarding the ball holder, Joe Harris will still be easily scored by his opponents. This is also his inherent physical disadvantage. The fast-track ball holders often can’t stand the first step, resulting in a loss of position and often needing to help defenders to make up defenses. Although his antagonism is still useful, but with a short arm span, he can’t interfere with their shots in the face of a tall striker…
Disadvantage 2: Handling the ball at critical moments is slightly rough
Harris’ handling of the ball at critical moments sometimes makes people feel cold and sweaty. Simply put, the heart is not big enough, and this can also be confirmed in the critical moments of the Bucks series in G3 and G7 last season. In addition, his 2/1 matchup against the Wizards this year also made a mistake on the sideline at a critical moment, which made the Wizards reverse the Nets. Harris also has the kind of mistakes caused by the sudden passing of half of his pitch to his teammates. All in all, I think Joe Harris’s handling of the ball is sometimes too hesitant to make a good offensive choice.
For Joe Harris, the next season is also a journey of redemption for him to re-prove his worth. His stability in the regular season is well known. Whether he can show his archer’s cold arrow characteristics under high-intensity defense, will It is his topic for the coming season. Perhaps we can observe the defensive intensity that HARRIS faced when he faced the East and West division championships in the season to judge whether he has gradually adapted to this intensity of defense. The Avengers led by Durant absolutely need it. Harris’ three-point firepower. In addition, the author thinks that if the coaching staff allows Harris to control his playing time of 25-30 minutes per game, will it be more efficient for his offense and defense? It depends on how Nash will speculate in the next season. This is a good dish.
Finally, I wish Joe Harris a happy 30th birthday (1991/9/6)
