Near the playoffs, some teams are in a stable position and begin to take turns off superstars, and some teams are fishing steadily, so they let superstars recuperate.
Only the Nets' style of painting is very different from other teams, people are on holidays, rotations, they are working overtime.
Take Adu as an example, today this game played another 41 minutes,
The previous few games, which were 42 minutes, 37 minutes, 42 minutes, 45 minutes, 39 minutes, and 42 minutes, did not dare to take more than one minute, and did not dare to take a break.
Not only is the playing time full, but the confrontation on the field is also quite outrageous.
For example, today, Markkanen and Durant fought for the ball on the sideline, the former accidentally fell to the ground, just pressed on Durant's ankle, fortunately, Adu is no big deal.
Regarding the confrontation, you can't blame others, after all, Adu, as the league's top superstar, suffered from nature's fiercest defense in the league, and the super long playing time + super defensive intensity will inevitably make people worry about Adu's ankle.
But he couldn't help it.
In the last seven games, Adu has almost desperately flown every field, and the final result is only 4 wins and 3 losses, if Adu does not play, let alone win four games, it is not impossible not to win one.
As for Irving as the second leader in the team, it is equally arduous,
From 39.5 minutes today, to 43 minutes, 40 minutes, 45 minutes, 45 minutes, 40 minutes, 41 minutes a few days ago, it seems to be more iron than Adu.
The two bosses are fighting for their lives, because the Nets are in the play-off card position battle, try harder to win a few games, stabilize the top eight seats, you can put yourself on a resurrection armor, and there will be no accidents in the playoffs.
Their efforts have paid off, and today the Nets officially beat the Cavaliers to finish seventh in the East.
The Nets have one game left, as long as the next game to beat the Pacers, the Nets will lock in the seventh place in the East, and then the playoffs will not be a big death, and it will be no problem to enter the playoffs.
If you reach the playoffs in the seventh place, the first round of the playoffs will most likely meet the Bucks.
As old enemies, although the two teams do not want to meet in the first round, but really fight, no one is afraid of anyone,
Both teams are teams that are aiming for the championship, no matter how to pick the opponent, the next always have to encounter, it is better to solve it first.
Now there's only one question left, the Nets and bucks, who solves whom.
In the end, the Nets won 118-107 at home to the Cavaliers.
