Cleveland was hit by the Nets again, and this time the collapse was more complete than the last card battle.
At that time, Kecheng caught Durant's bag for a whole game, the whole time was engaged in targeting, but there was no egg use, Adu single shot 11 of 20, won 36 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, directly took away the game.
Today, Bixtaft specially left an eye, and before the game, he told the players to clamp Durant well, even if you are tired, you have to restrain Durant to me.
I thought that all the defensive resources allocated to Adu would be able to win the first game of this play-off, who knew that Irving suddenly broke out.
Only to see Ou Shenxian come up and shoot a sweep, the first twelve shots were all shots, 12 of the 15 shots in the whole game, 34 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists, except for the last quarter, which was slightly tired, and the efficiency was directly full at other times.
Among them, the first 12 shots also set a new personal record.
Poor Kercun had to defend Adu on this side and Owen on the other side, and the result was that both ends were pinched, and neither end was strangled, and Adu cut 25 points and 11 assists, including three points and steals that killed the game at key moments. Irving scored 34 points and 12 assists to win the set with his own ability.
That's what a dual-core team does, and you can't allocate too many defensive resources to one of the stars because you don't know if the other one will suddenly burst out.
After winning this inning, the Nets successfully locked in the playoffs as the seventh in the Eastern Conference, and will successfully meet the first round of the Green Kai.
Next, I'll watch the performances on both sides.
As for the Cavaliers, the next game will be against the winner between the Hawks and Hornets.
I have a vague hunch that the Cavaliers, who are eighth in the regular season, will most likely not play the playoffs.
Why? Weren't they fierce at the beginning of the season? It also claims to be a champion.
At that time, the Cavaliers were really fierce, their fierceness was strong on the inside, there were Mobley, Allen and other good players, the outside line was not broken, and the defenders led by Garland could get points.
Therefore, this lineup seemed at the time to be likely to act as a playoff spoiler.
Unfortunately, a month ago, Aaron was injured by a broken finger, and the once proud advantage of the interior line was lost, and the Cavaliers began a losing streak.
Take this game, Zhuang Shen cut 16 points and 8 rebounds on 7 of 11, and Zhao Si cut 13 points and 9 rebounds on 6-of-6 shooting.
Do you dare to signal that the Knights, the first inner line in the whole league, were actually blown up by the combination of Zhuang Shen + Zhao Si?
Not only were they blasted by these two buddies some time back in time, they were even blasted by the Lakers.
Even the Lakers and the Nets' internal line can't do it, so let's not talk about the internal advantage.
As for Garland, the scoring ability is really good, but considering the last few games, Garland has always been in a state of "good data, the team can't win the ball".
Saying he can score, there's nothing wrong with him, saying he can fly, this still needs to be proven.
What is the best proof? That's the next playoff.
Now that I think of the end of the regular season, the Cavaliers cheered with excitement: We finally have a chance to make the playoffs!
As everyone knows, the regular season is not the last threshold, and it is only after the playoffs that it is passed.
Looking at it now, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult.
In the end, the Nets defeated the Cavaliers 115-108 at home to advance to the playoffs as seventh, and the opponent will be the Green Army led by Tatum.
