On April 21, Beijing time, Durant had a nightmarish night. Throughout the game, he played 42 minutes, shooting 4 of 17, 1 of 2 of 3-pointers, 18 of 20 free throws, 27 points, 4 boards and 5 assists, and in the second half he shot 0 of 10 and did not score a sports battle. After the game, Durant explained the reason for his slump.
This battle Durant brushed the disgrace record:
1. In the first two games of the series, a total of 13 of 41 shots (9 of 24 shots in G1), shooting 31.7%, in addition to 12 mistakes. For the first time in his career, he shot less than 40 percent from the field in two consecutive games, both regular season and playoffs, and made six turnovers per game.
2. This battle is the first time in Durant's career (including the regular season) that he has lost all of them in the second half with at least 10 shots.
3. In the past two playoff games, Durant has scored 13 Athletic goals and Horford Athletic has scored 14 goals.
4. Durant shot 23.5 percent, Irving shot 30.8 percent, and both shot less than 33 percent (1/3) today, the first time since their teams.
Experts also interpreted the real reason for Durant's downturn, and the famous Nick Wright posted Durant's appearance time in the past 11 games. In the last 11 games since March 1, durant has averaged 41.3 minutes per game in the last 11 games, including the regular season and playoffs, the highest in the league.
After the game, Durant explained the reason for the downturn, "They still have two or three people defending me in the no-ball state, and wherever I go there are two or three people bumping into me, this is the beastly confrontation in the playoffs." I had to play more patiently, but sometimes I had to speed up some of my own pace. I have to find a way to overcome this problem. ”
