On February 25, Beijing time, the Nets played against the Celtics, and the Nets' new big three still did not play. Facing the green army of double probing flowers, the Nets were blown up early, and finally the Nets lost 106-129, losing by 23 points. Curry Jr. cut 22 points and 7 boards, he also felt Harden's pain, the big three were absent, Mills was not in the state, and it was too difficult for Curry Jr. to lead the team to win. Tatum scored 30 points and 7 boards, the game was too easy, Brown also had 18 points, and Smart, who was 5 of 6 from three-point range, while Mills was 0-of-9.
The Green Army's recent form has been fierce, and the Nets have fallen behind 8-2 at the beginning. After Brown stopped the bleeding with three points and the Green Army scored, Curry Jr. also broke through the score. However, Tatum hit a three-pointer, Jaylen Brown also broke through the score, and Smart also had a three-pointer, quickly leading by double digits. Curry Jr. scored on a jumper to stop the bleeding, and Hanako also hit a three-pointer behind him. Unfortunately, Smart also scored three points, White also had three points, and Ade stopped bleeding 2+1, or trailed by 13 points. The difference in strength between the two teams is still obvious, the Green Army in the second quarter of the three-point streak, Jaylen jump shot after the hit, the lead of 21 points. The Nets were all dumbfounded, with Curry Jr. hitting a dry shot from behind and then scoring on a jumper. But they couldn't defend themselves, and the Green Army scored against each other. Chuang Shen scored consecutive points under the basket, Tatum broke through the split, and Jaylen hit a three-pointer. Hanako hit three consecutive points, but Tatum and Smart are also scoring, still trailing by 15 points.
The Nets' defense is too bad, and although the data is good, the defense is useless. The two teams were able to compete at the beginning of the third quarter, Curry Jr. hit a jumper, and as a result, Smart hit a three-pointer, and Tatum also had a three-pointer. Curry Jr. shot to stop the bleeding, followed by three points. Curry Jr. also hit a jumper and scored consecutive points, with Ade scoring from the inside. However, Tatum's three-pointer continued to soar, and after Hanako hit a three-pointer, Tatum broke through to score, and Horford was also scoring. Tatum followed up with three points to lead by 24 points. The Nets conceded more than 30 points in each of the first three quarters, and the defense was out of sight.
It's over! Everyone in the Nets can clock out of work, both offensive and defensive ends have been exploded, and Curry Jr. has tried his best. He threw in the fourth quarter, and after the Green Army scored, Curry Jr. also hit a three-point shot. Unfortunately, Tatum broke through the dunk, and after Ade threw a shot, Tatum also scored on the free throw, and Horford also scored with ease. And Tatum has three points, the Nets have no defense, how can this chase points? After Thomas and others scored, Williams also hit three-pointers. The Green Army still maintains a 27-point difference, and the main forces such as Tatum have gone down to rest, and there is no need to play. The Nets have exposed too many problems this time and have no power to fight back.
The Nets' biggest problem is still defense, in Nash's tactics, is there really no defense? Let the Green Army fight too easily. The double probes are playing very easily, Tatum and Brown can play the Nets, whether they are three points or breakthroughs, it is easy to score. In addition to this, the Green Army's interior Williams played more easily, scoring multiple times on the inside, blowing up Drummond and Clarkston. The Green Army also has a Smart, this time he did not hit the iron, but hit a lot of three-pointers on the outside. The Nets let the Green Army play so easily, and their offense is not top-notch, so naturally they will fall behind by a large score.
Curry Jr. understands Harden's bitterness! Durant, Irving and Simmons are not out, and the new Big Three ensemble doesn't know when it will arrive. The Nets are now losing 2 straight, and although they have ended the losing streak before, it is difficult for them to maintain a winning streak, and the Nets will collapse against stronger teams. And the Nets are not high in ranking now, and if they continue to lose like this, they will not even be able to keep the eighth place in the East. The new big three should hurry up and return! Playing with such a lineup, the Nets are really going to play the playoffs. The Green Army has recently won a wave of consecutive wins, ranking in the top six in the East.
