The NBA playoff scramble continues, with the East facing multiple focused battles, with the Green Army sitting at home to meet the Nets.
In the G1 matchup, the Nets regretted that they were unable to defeat the Green Army, durant faced the Green Army's meat-grinding on-line delay and bag sandwich defense, the physical challenge ushered in a huge challenge, the personal feel declined extremely seriously, and finally wasted irving a perfect performance.
Therefore, the two teams in G1 completed the setting for this round of the series, in the face of the Nets star-based play, the Green Army's defensive strategy is very obvious, that is, the multi-person wheel war style of packing and consumption, to see that Irving and Durant are not hard enough.
As soon as the game began, the Nets showed their determination to win, and Brown single-handedly helped the team play a perfect 9-0 start.
Despite the Green Army's response since then, Durant and Curry Jr. have successively exerted their efforts, and the Nets have established a double-digit lead early, fortunately, Grande has three points in the late quarter, and the Green Army has forced the point difference to 9 points.
In the second quarter, the Nets role players continued to explode, at one point widening the point difference to as much as 17 points, but the Green Army was tough enough to force the point difference to 10 points with Brown and Tatum's performance at the end of the quarter.
Easy to fight again, the green army's defensive intensity has not declined, but the Nets Durant's physical strength and concentration have declined visibly, constantly making mistakes at the offensive end, and even appearing to be directly robbed by Brown.
Perhaps due to the influence of physical fitness, Durant even had 2 missed penalties in this quarter, and the overall offensive efficiency was outrageous.
The Green Army also took advantage of such problems and played quick counterattacks in succession, narrowing the point gap to five points at the end of the third quarter.
This situation continued into the final quarter, nash boldly used the 4-guard lineup at the beginning of the quarter, successfully delaying enough rest time for Durant, and a three-point shot by Cescuri gave Durant a five-point lead when he came on.
Unfortunately, Durant's offensive performance is still terrible, and he has played iron on the offensive end, and Irving is also in stealth.
In the end, Brown and Tatum stepped forward and played consecutive matches on the offensive end, directly harvesting the game, and the Green Army beat the Nets 114-107, rewriting the big score to 2-0.
Throughout the game, the intensity of the two teams has reached the level of the division finals and even the finals, and every dribble is very difficult, which tests the ability of the core players of the two teams.
Among them, the Nets role players have exerted their own energy to the extreme, starting in the starting, Curry Jr. three-point shooting 6 of 4, bombed 16 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.
Bruce Brown had 23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal on 8-of-12 shooting, and Drummond made 2-of-4 shooting and handed over 5 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
The bench players were equally impressive, with Dragic shooting 7-of-13 and delivering 16 points and four rebounds, Clarkston 3-pointers on 1-of-1 shooting and Mills scoring 5-pointers on 2-of-4 shooting.
Helplessly, Durant and Irving were all inaccurate, of which Durant shot only 4 of 17, with exaggerated 20 free throws, only to get 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and another 6 mistakes.
Because Irving, who was hungry in Ramadan, was photographed eating bananas on the sidelines, but in this level of game, it is not realistic for you to replenish energy on the spot, and in the end, Irving was invisible in the whole game, shooting only 4 of 13, with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.
It can only be said that the Nets' current style of play around the stars has been completely limited by the Green Army, and in the face of the Green Army's strong delays on the offensive end, engaging in confrontation and internal attacks, Durant has lost his rhythm and lost two consecutive games.
And Owen because of the reason that Ramadan could not eat, the physical fitness naturally could not be guaranteed, after the last war, this scene was directly locked.
Therefore, even if a group of role players delivered a perfect performance, the Nets still endured a 17-point reversal and returned home with a 0-2 score.
