Beijing time on April 26, today, the Nets lost 112-116 at home to the Celtics, and the series was swept by the opponent 0-4, so that the Green Army swept the Nets for the eighth time in the playoffs, forming an absolute crushing advantage. In this game, the Nets' problems are very obvious, the first is the lack of a real organizational guard, and the second is that the defense is two notches behind the Celtics. Although Irving is a point guard, he will only fight alone, and his ability to lead the team is too poor to help his teammates become better.
Irving in this campaign is not "Uncle Drew" nor "Ou Immortal", he is 6 of 13 in the game, contributing 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, 2 turnovers, plus-minus -3, the performance can only be said to be decent. It turns out that Irving is not a champion with James, he is not remarkable, before James returned to the Cavaliers, he did not even know anything about the playoffs, look at him now, with a star like Durant, he can not play any good results, his ability to lead the team can be seen. Although Durant scored 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists in this game, the efficiency is actually not bad.
Shooting only 41.9 percent from the field, shooting a measly 27.3 percent from three-point range, and a team-high four turnovers, plus-minus -6 starts are the second-to-last. After four games in the series, Durant averaged 26.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, the data seems to be good, but the average of 5.25 mistakes per game, very humiliating, shooting only 38.6% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, directly back to the original shape. Without Harden, Durant was strictly guarded, coupled with thin body, physical weakness and other reasons, Durant instantly became an ordinary star, no longer the fearful god of death.
In the match with Tatum, Durant was beaten miserably and became "Doulgate" in seconds, which also validated Barkley's words: Don't join a team with 73 wins, just go around telling people that you are a championship. This series also directly shows that if it were not for the choice of warriors, Durant may end up with a career titleless infamy. After eliminating the Nets, the Celtics' post-game speech was even more murderous and intriguing, and in the official website, they wrote: "Finish the sweep!" Still want to hit Boston? ”
Although this sentence is only a short 12 words, but it is obviously said to the Nets, so that Durant can not refute, no place to tolerate themselves, when the Nets entered the playoffs, the outside world is full of confidence in them, the Nets are even regarded as a championship favorite, missing Harden, Durant and Irving led the team into the playoffs, when he was full of spirit, sneered at Harden, and the previous All-Star Game also snubbed Harden, and now, the Nets have come to where they are today, Durant can only say that it is self-insulting, the road he chose, did not expect to be "Yin Cao Mansion." ”。
