"Nets championship!" I think everyone here should have no opinion, of course, there are opinions you can pretend to have no opinions! Who says you can't make it to the playoffs with the individual strength of your star? The Nets still don't believe in this evil, and they win the game purely by personal strength. And this playoff against the Cavaliers is very telling, Irving and Durant play in both directions! Irving had 34 points and 12 assists, and Durant had 25 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, and the two of them combined had only 31 shots. Who shot the most in the Nets' playoffs? It's Brown, who made 19 shots, but what is shown from the side, the Nets' two cores are really not blind.
The first half was clearly Irving's personal time, and Durant seemed to be very restrained, scoring 20 points at halftime Irving 9-of-9, but Durant only had five shots at half-time. What does this mean? These two cores of the Nets know how to win games and know how to win important games! In the regular season, the two brothers are white thrown, and one person throws twenty or so shots, which is crazy to score, crazy to use personal strength to win the game. But playing this crucial play-off game these two people are too eager to win, and began to play team basketball slowly. I am not afraid that my teammates will not be able to shoot, and I am afraid that my teammates will not receive good passes.
In the past, according to Irving's temper, 15 shots can score 34 points, so at least today's single game is for 45 points. But Irving played very carefully and efficiently, and he was as crazy as Durant in passing, crazy assists, and both assists were in doubles. Durant is more mature, switching directly from scoring mode to all-around mode. Now you see Durant is not the Durant who can only score, the current Adu is a very versatile Durant, starting from scoring, passing, rebounding, defense, everything is grasped by one hand, a bit of the meaning of the Finals in the Warriors that year, it is clear that the offensive and defensive ends dominate the game.
At the same time, you have to say that the personal strength of these two people is indeed great, the score is really as simple as probing the bag, and it is obvious that the star level of these two people is one level higher than that of the knight. So Owen was relieved to let the two of them control the game. So this game played 41 minutes against Irving, Durant played 41 minutes, even Brown played 40 minutes, and the intensity of the playoffs was directly raised. And the two brothers obviously want two people to fully control a team, Nash's personnel rotation is not dense, the playoffs are counting on these two people to lead the whole team, so the data of these two people in the future playoffs will definitely shine.
But at the same time, it has to be said that the Bucks are really under pressure, and the second in the East is fortunate not to win, otherwise the first round will have to face the Nets. In the case of such a Net, it is not easy to play who meets in the first round this season. Last year's playoff nets walked quite far, not Durant's shoes are bigger, and it is really difficult to say. And this season Durant is surrounded by Irving, which requires both of them to stay healthy, and the Nets' ceiling is like today's Irving, you can't predict it at all.
