On April 18, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs are underway. The Brooklyn Nets ushered in the first game, but they were unfavorable, and they were suppressed by the Green Army's Tatum whistle, and finally lost on the road. Before the game, the US media was generally optimistic that the Nets could play under the gram, but the young players of the Green Army did not agree. Tatum, Brown, Smart, Horford are all experienced players, and they have also played together for many years, and the chemistry and tacit understanding are far greater than those of the Nets. And, with Tatum's rapid growth, the Green Army also has a superstar.
Will the Nets be able to bounce back in the G2 game? It's actually very difficult, and there is even the possibility of losing 2 games in a row. Why? If it weren't for Irving's supernatural play, the Nets wouldn't have been able to hold out the last minute. The imaginary Nets are not tough, and a first-round exit may be the end result. Losing again? The Nets 0-2 Green Army or early out, Irving was sent 50,000 for revenge, and Bency made an emergency comeback.
0-2 or early out
Let's look back at the G1 game, did the Nets play poorly? In fact, it is not, the team's shooting rate is as high as 53.8%, the Green Army is only 47.2%; the Nets' three-point shooting rate is 45.8%, and the Green Army is only 36.4%; how did the Nets lose the game when scoring efficiency is high? First, rebounds lagged far behind, with the whole team only grabbing 29, while the Green Army had as high as 43. Rebounding idiot Hamder Drummond had just four rebounds, and Horford grabbed 15. Second, in terms of interior scoring, the Nets only have 32 points, but the Green Army has 56 points, what does it mean? The Nets' inner line guard is too poor to resist the opponent's breakthrough.
Another point, the Nets scored too intensively, with Durant 23 points and Irving 39 points. What about the Green Army? Tatum scored 31 points, Horford 20, Brown 23 and Smart 20. The greenshirts, who played overall, are likely to win at home again, and the Nets return to barclays center with a 0-2 disadvantage.
Owen was fined 50,000 for revenge
Against the Greenshirts, the Nets' most wanted player to win was Kyrie Irving, why? Because the enmity between the two sides has a long history. Nick Friedell cited Irving's "unprincipled" behavior in G1 matches: (1) hitting a shot and giving the green army players a middle finger; (2) giving a middle finger to Boston fans and making a crying gesture; (3) responding to fans' insults and responding; and (4) giving a foul mouth in a post-game interview.
Salary expert Bobby Marks said after the game: "As far as I know, the league can fine Irving up to $50,000! Owen, who insists on himself, still goes his own way when he knows that he will be punished, and he is not afraid of fines. However, Irving is also a vengeful player, and he thinks that the next game will stage a revenge battle. Skip said: According to sources, Irving will retaliate against fans who insult him.
Bency made an emergency comeback
As Harden's biggest bargaining chip, when will Ben Simmons make a comeback? For the Nets, whether Bency makes a comeback will have a significant impact on the team's landscape. Previously, there were media rumors that Bency would make a comeback in the playoffs to help the Nets compete for the championship. There are also some professional media people who believe that Irving, Durant and Ben Simmons in a healthy state will be the biggest favorites for this year's championship.
According to the famous Woj revealed in the show "NBA Countdown": Bency will start practicing with teammates this week, and the Nets hope that he will return in G5 or G6, averaging about 15 minutes per game, defending the Celtics' flank. From this point of view, the Nets are afraid of the front group of Brown, Tatum and Horford. But after Bency's emergency comeback, what is the individual's competitive state?
Losing again? From the Nets' championship favorite at the beginning of the season, to the later Harden trade, and then to the later playoffs, this season is destined to be accompanied by bumps. The East is full of giants, bucks, Heat, 76ers, Greens and other teams, how sure are the Nets to beat one of them? Don't be surprised if you're out early, next season's return of the king seems like a better option!
