Even though it's unclear why the players decided Doug Christie should defend Nash, despite not being skilled at it, we can't make any rash adjustments now. The players have found their rhythm, and the score is closing up. It's obviously better than how they played for the first quarter and a half.
At this stage of the season, when facing teams in better form than they are, trusting the players is what a head coach should do.
However, Del Harris emphasized defense and saw four players surrounding Zhang Hao, while Zhang Hao was instructing his teammates... so frustrating!
Just now, the players listened to him speak, but they didn't listen to Zhang Hao with such seriousness!
Although this is because he started by saying, "We don't need to make too many adjustments; you continue playing," the players barely paid attention to his subsequent emphasis on focusing on defense. Nonetheless, he ignored this point; ultimately, he's just annoyed with Zhang Hao!
