The Nets are obviously physically weak back-to-back in this game, and once Durant encounters a high-intensity game, the physical strength cannot keep up, which is a problem he has always had in the past. Coupled with the fact that the defensive pace of the Chuang Shen cannot keep up with the Hornets' defenders, the European text has a poor feel on the field, and it is not surprising that the Nets lost to the Hornets. This game shows that the Nets are indeed quite strong, but the playoffs are doomed to not go far.
