disappointed! The Nets returned to the Home of Brooklyn for the third game of the series with the Celtics, still losing without suspense. Even if the point difference on the court is not large, the visiting Green Kai has mastered the rhythm of the court since the first quarter, and whenever the score is close, the Celtics can always seize the Nets' mistakes and regain the lead in time.
In fact, this is the difference between playing team basketball and relying on superstar singles, although the Celtics also have a very prominent duo, but on the defensive end, it is really twisted into a rope. Constantly confronting Nets players, making them uncomfortable with the ball and forcing Nets players into singles traps.
On the other hand, the Nets, there seems to be no complicated tactics, and as soon as the space is opened, they will pick themselves up. If Durant and Irving still maintain the previous unsolvable singles state, it seems that there is no problem, but the previous downturn in Boston, Durant has continued to this day. Or rather, Durant's recent performance reminds people that he is a veteran who has suffered from a torn Achilles tendon.
6 of 11 shots and 2 of 3 three-pointers in the whole game seem to be a passing efficiency in terms of the proportion of shots, but don't forget, he is Durant. Even if you lose, you should have the most shots in the whole team, but the shooting rate is not ideal, and then fall to the point of losing, instead of doing a little on the field like today, but there is nothing outstanding on the offensive end.
At the same time, Irving lost the outside crosshairs today, losing all 7 three-pointers and contributing 16 points on free throws and two-pointers. Let me ask you, today's 7-11 duo scored a total of 32 points, which is the normal state before, which is just the single-game scoring data of one of them. The Nets scored the highest score on the team, Brown, who contributed 26 points to the team, but it was also a guard, so that the Nets maintained a three-guard state on the court for most of the time, and the defensive end was naturally not enough to see.
It is worth mentioning that Griffin finally had a chance to play today. If, as a substitute, played 8 minutes and scored 8 points, the performance was OK, but it was already too late. Nash's "no action" has made fans feel confused about the prospects of the Nets, if the next game is still lost, then as last season, it is also eliminated by the Celtics, but this year's situation is even more unbearable, last season at least to play to grab seven, the Nets are standing to die. On the other hand, this year, the last game has not been played, and people have no hope of being able to advance.
