With G1 Irving scoring 39 points and the team still regretting the loss of the Green Army by 1 point, the Nets G2 continued to challenge the Green Army away.
Due to the victory of the Green Army in the first game, it is still taking a big delay on the line, increasing the difficulty of Durant's receiving the ball, plus the inside line in time to grab the bag clip to defend Durant.
The results were also immediate, with Durant scoring just 4 of 17 shots on the offensive end and all 10 shots in the second half being deflected, the first time in his career.
In addition to the poor feel, the Green Army's meat grinder-like defense and confrontation also made Durant's physical decline extremely serious.
There were four consecutive turnovers in the second half, and it was Durant's successive mistakes during that period that gave the Green Army the opportunity to tie the score.
During the period, Durant even had a situation of 2 penalties and total losses, and in the face of his son's performance in the second half, the photographer also photographed Durant's mother with a blue face and a face of displeasure.
This is not Durant's first game of error, the last game Durant also shot 9 of 24, two games down, Durant shot only 13 of 41, shooting as low as 31.7%, and as many as 12 mistakes.
This is also the first time in Durant's career so far that the shooting rate in two consecutive games has been below 40%, and at least 6 mistakes have occurred at the same time, which shows how bad Durant's performance is.
Durant's slump comes from two aspects, on the one hand, a lot of playing time, on the other hand, the Green Army's successful defensive strategy.
In his last 11 games, Durant has averaged 41.3 minutes per game, playing as few as 37 minutes, and most of them playing 42 minutes.
In addition, Green Army coach Uduka also admitted after the game that the team's plan is to use his body against Durant, so that he can get 20 free throws is too much, but the team still has to maintain this intensity of confrontation, which is the defensive effect that the team wants.
Even so, as a player known for his personal singles, Durant's performance in these two games has been disappointing, scoring a total of 13 goals in the past two sports games, one less than Horford, which has allowed the Nets to miss consecutive good opportunities to upset, and after falling behind 2-0 in the big score, the current Nets have no way to retreat.
In addition to Durant, Irving, who went on a rampage in G1, was completely invisible in the half, shooting only 4 of 13 from the field, and had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.
This is the first time that Irving and Durant have combined to deliver less than 33% shooting in a game at the same time, and the two scored a total of 8 points in the final quarter, which was comparable to the green army's Pu richard's score in the final quarter.
And compared to Durant's inefficiency, Irving seems to be affected by Ramadan's lack of food, the whole person looks tired, has no desire to attack and win, and is photographed eating bananas on the sidelines during the game to replenish his strength.
Worse still, in this top-notch confrontation, if Irving can't play a huge scoring role on the offensive end, then it is a side effect on the court, and the Green Army Tatum and Brown are staring at Irving on the offensive end.
In the whole game, Irving's plus-minus was the second lowest minus 9 in the whole team, and the first from the bottom was Durant's minus 10, facing the poor performance of the two major fans, Nash was still pushing away for the two after the game.
Nash said that the reason why Durant did not perform well was because the physical confrontation given by the Green Army was too strong, so that Durant lost the rhythm, as for Irving's slump, Nash admitted that he did not want to talk about Irving alone, because the whole team did not perform well in the second half, while pointing out that basketball is a team sport and cannot be won by superstars alone.
