In the final moments, the Nets led by 1 point, and there was the ball, the hope of winning increased greatly, the result was that Durant's three-point shot was not hit, the Celtics did not pause to launch a direct attack, Brown, Smart continuous conduction, found tartum that was let go by Durant, the latter directly went to the basket to kill the Nets, the Celtics won by 1 point, won the victory, and led the Nets 1-0 in the series.
Tatum's kill ignited the passion of the North Shore Garden, the fans and staff at home were celebrating wildly, and the lost Nets were on the side, including Irving, who was slammed and booed a whole sheet, and during the game, he put up his two middle fingers and made a crying action provocation, and directly attacked the fans after the game. It can be said that the two days of ice and fire, the morale of the Nets plummeted, and the mood of the players also changed.
Before the game, many people were optimistic that the Nets could play a gram, eliminate the Celtics, stage the Miracle of Black Seven, although they did not occupy the home advantage, but the strength of the Nets was still very strong, but they did not expect G1 to lose the game in this way. According to statistics, before this round of the series, the NBA has conducted a total of 573 rounds of seven-game four-win series in history, and the probability of the team that won the G1 is 75.7%, which is still very high. The current 1-0 lead over the Grizzlies by seventh Timberwolves in the West is also considered to be much more likely than the Nets.
So the Nets, who lost their first game at the moment, have pushed themselves into a dilemma, once they lose to the Celtics in the next game, 0-2 behind their opponents back at home, then almost all the home games must be won to have the possibility of qualifying. So whether the next G2 is defended by opponents at home or the Nets regain home advantage is a very crucial game for Nash.
In the seven-in-four-win series, home advantage is still very critical, it is clear that the Nets who played the play-offs are at a disadvantage in this regard, although the overall strength of the team is very strong, and it is also a big favorite to win the championship, but they need to come up with better performances in the series, especially the key moments, which is very important.
The Celtics have previously been looked down upon because their opponents are the star-studded Nets, but they can actually play the second place in the East in the regular season, and the Celtics' strength and heritage are beyond doubt. This time they also proved themselves with actual performances, the on-the-spot performance is really great, and they are looking forward to their next performance.
