Beijing time on April 21, the NBA playoffs continue, today the Celtics sat at home to usher in the Nets' second challenge, the previous green army to kill the risk of passing, it can be seen that they want to cross the Nets is not easy, but the last game they clamped Durant's strategy is very useful, today they also continued the tactics of the last game, and Durant was locked up again, 4 of 17 shots, 2 of 3 points, but with the killing Durant also created 13 fouls against the opponent, the free throw scored 18 points, The team had 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
The role of the superstar is like this, even if you think he is very iron, but he can help the team, but today Durant experienced isolation, Celtics side of the 7 people scored in double figures: Tatum 19 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, Tatum scored 18 assists in two games, for the first time in his career, it can be seen that he matured, Brown 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Horford 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Smart 12 points and 5 assists, Gwe 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, Pu Richard 10 points, Theis 15 points.
With 7 people scoring in double figures, the Celtics beat the Nets 114-107, and the Nets also had 5 people in double figures, but they did not have much impact on the victory of the game, although Dragic scored 18 points and 4 assists, but the defensive end was targeted by various point lists, Cescuri had 16 points and 3 rebounds, and was also targeted on the defensive end, and they played more side effects on the court.
Team two Irving shot only 4 of 13 shots, three points 1 0 got 10 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist, after the end of the last game, Owen also expressed concern that he did not play well during Ramadan, the last game he scored 39 points was great, but his worries were fulfilled in this game, in the game Irving may be really hungry and powerless, sitting on the bench to eat, so unstable is also a hidden danger, which is like the second boss of the championship team?
The only thing that can be considered to help Durant in this campaign is Bruce Brown, who shot 8 of 12 from the field, 3 of 4 from three points, 23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, Brown got a lot of empty shots through the air cut, to be honest, this is also the Celtics intentionally give up the defensive position, after all, they want to pinch Durant, a Brown is impossible to blow a Celtic, his strength is here.
It is worth mentioning that when the Celtics led 2-0 in the previous 7 playoff games, they advanced 40 times, only 1 was overturned, that is, 18 Zhan did it, the probability problem is not what I want to say, but it is said that the Celtics who can lead 2-0, while occupying the home advantage, it is really difficult to play, if the Nets can not make the right adjustments, has been let Durant in the pinch to consume, they lose the series sooner or later.
In the face of today's loss, Nets coach Nash made an evaluation of this, he said: "Our intensity in the second half dropped, we wasted a lot of opportunities, we failed to turn the advantage into a victory", which means that Nash means that he does not want to carry the pot at all, thinking about the bulls losing to the Bucks before, Donovan took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility, but Nash does not think it is his fault, even if the Celtics started in the third quarter, he did not call a timeout to adjust.
After Thatch talked about the performance of Irving and Durant, he said: "This game our overall shooting in the second half is not ideal, this is not Irving's problem alone, it is not ideal for our whole team, Durant is very uncomfortable, he is not in his own rhythm, the Celtics played a role in his defense", this time knows the core relief, this thing is still doing well, but Nash really does not know that he is also wrong?
This game Celtics with their impact and defensive counterattack to collapse the Nets, in terms of confrontation, the Nets' current players are obviously at a loss, whether it is Cescuri or Dragic, perhaps only until Simmons returns, they may still have a chance to compete with the Celtics, according to previous reports, Simmons will most likely return in the playoffs G4, so the Nets must try their best to hold their next home, so as not to be too passive, the third game between the two sides will be held at the weekend.
Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the two teams? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
