On April 21, Beijing time, the Nets lost to the Celtics 107-114 on the road, falling behind 0-2 by a large score. In this game, although the Nets lost the game, their role players played very well. In particular, the 35-year-old veteran guard Dragic scored 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting in the half, scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal.
In this game, the Nets have been ahead of the Celtics in the first half, and the performance of Dragic, who came off the bench, is very critical. In the second half of the second quarter, Dragic hit four consecutive stop jumpers. With 32 seconds left in the first half, it was Dragic who received a pass from his teammate and hit a three-pointer to help the Nets lead 65-55 at halftime.
Throughout the game, Dragic shot 8-of-14 in 20 minutes, scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal. In the G1 competition, Dragic's performance is equally remarkable. In the first game between the two sides, Dragic had 14 points and five rebounds on 6-of-11 shooting.
In the past two games, Dragic has scored a total of 32 points, averaging 16 points per game. As a 35-year-old veteran, Dragic has also tried his best. However, the Nets still failed to beat the Celtics, who are currently 0-2 behind, and the promotion situation is precarious.
This season, after Dragic was bought out by the Raptors, there are many teams in the league that want to sign him. But under Nash's emotional offensive, Dragic decided to join the Nets to help Durant and Irving compete for the championship. But judging from the first two games of the playoffs, whether it is Irving or Durant, their competitive state is not at its best. The Nets' promotion situation is already very critical, and they will not even be able to pass the first round. For Dragic, who wants to compete for the championship, is there some regret about joining the Nets now?
