After beating the Bucks, the Nets were not far from bringing down the Nuggets, losing in overtime to a huge Nikola Jokic. They confirmed their good streak by managing to beat the Grizzlies with a very solid performance from one man: Dennis Schroder.
The playmaker compiled 33 points at 11/14 shooting including 6/9 at 3-pts and 8 assists in this victory. Above all, he scored 11 points in the last quarter, largely won by Brooklyn.
“At one point he said to me: 'give me the ball, I'll take care of everything'. That's what he does. He's a leader.”, notes Jordi Fernandez. “He sets everyone up. If he has to score, he does it. It's really very, very nice to have him on the floor. »
A scenario confirmed by the German. “I told the coach that I wanted to win this match”says Dennis Schroder. “I told him to give me the ball and he said OK. »
The Nets metronome
The two men therefore have confidence in each other. The playmaker, with his experience, knows that he can take things in hand, when the coach is aware that Dennis Schroder is perhaps his best weapon on the floor, his most reliable compared to Cam Thomas, not always very precise, for example. “It’s a winner”underlines Ziaire Williams.
With 24.6 points at 54% shooting success and 55% at 3-points and 8.2 assists on average, the 2023 world champion with Germany has been very good since the start of the regular season. If the Nets display this level of play, it is partly thanks to the former Thunder or Hawks player.
“Everyone runs and makes the effort. That's what it takes to win an NBA game, especially against a good Western team.”he analyzes. “We did it together. Everyone defended, we made the effort collectively. Offensively, we're having fun, everyone touches the ball, shoots with confidence. This allowed us to win. »
