On April 21, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued, and the Celtics and the Nets began to play against each other. In the first round of G1, the Nets were killed in the last minute, and the big score was behind the Green Army. In this game, the Nets led the Green Army by 17 points, but fell in the final quarter. In the end, the Nets G2 suffered a 17-point reversal, losing to the Celtics 107-114. The series is big, the Nets are 0-2 behind the Green Army, and losing one more game will lose the series match point!
The Nets exposed too many problems in this game, but the most important reason why the Nets will be reversed is the complete failure of the Duo combination. In this campaign, Durant shot 4-of-17 and had 27 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. Durant, meanwhile, also scored 6 turnovers and 5 fouls. Irving shot 4-of-13 and had 10 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Duou combination 8 of 30, how will the Nets win? Before the game was over, Skip taunted Durant directly, Skip said: "Durant was bullied, he just gave up." Durant is the softest guy in the world, and he's so disappointing! ”
The Nets' competitive form of this game is extremely rare throughout the season. After all, durant and Irving pulling their crotches at the same time are really too few. Previously, the Duou combination was making up for each other's shortcomings. Durant didn't perform well, and Irving could stand up and blast thirty or forty points. When Irving is in a slump, Durant can also take over the game. Today, with the Nets behind by a large score, the Duo combination is languishing, and it is not difficult to understand that the Nets have been reversed.
Ironically, with the exception of Durant and Irving, the rest of the Nets players are doing well. Brown scored 9 points to stop the Green Army as soon as he started the game, and all kinds of killings made the Green Army miserable. In the game, Brown shot 8-of-12 and had 23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Curry Jr. also performed well, shooting 6-of-11 from the field, with 16 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Dragic also made his contribution, shooting 8-of-14 from the field, with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal.
While other Nets players played well, Durant and Irving lost themselves. The Duo combination is the core of the Nets' team building, but in the key playoffs, Durant and Irving played such a bad performance, but they had to rely on other Nets teammates to support the scoring, which was completely inverted. However, this also makes everyone see the shortcomings of the Nets, and it seems that the Nets cannot rely too much on Durant and Irving. Next, Nash will have to study the new strategy!
Today, the Nets are 0-2 behind the Green Army. Durant's sluggish performances with Irving buried the Nets' efforts in the first three quarters. If the Duo combination continues in this state, the Celtics are expected to sweep the Nets 4-0. This is certainly not the result that the Nets want to see, but if you want to turn the situation around the series, the performance of the Duo duo is crucial, depending on whether Durant and Irving can adjust back to form.
According to the schedule, the Nets' series G3 with the Celtics will be played at 7:30 a.m. on April 24. The game is crucial for the Nets, and if they lose the game again, the Green Army will win the series. When the Nets want to reverse and advance to the next round, it will really not be so easy!
