The Celtics 114-107 Nets, big score 2-0 lead!
The prophet please open his eyes, the prophet please examine, Nash opens his eyes and looks around, and then compares the gesture of number 11.
The prophet you test is this (wolf), the prophet please close your eyes, the witch please open your eyes...
Nash smiled slightly, with Owen's instability, the last immortal under the mortal, this one must have jumped backwards, the old man has already guessed, caught you.
The prophet please open your eyes, the prophet please examine the person, Nash made a gesture of 7. Fortunately, the old man still has a god card in his hand, first see what kind of god Durant is?
The prophet you test is this (wolf), the prophet please close your eyes...
Nash was furious and flipped the table to stop playing: This is still a fart, I have a total of two god cards all turned into wolves, and directly conceded defeat.
When both Durant and Irving can't stand up, the Nets really can't win.
First, a generation of new people for the old
Both sides G1, Durant 9 of 24, 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 turnovers;
Tatum shot 9-of-18 and had 31 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 turnovers, plus a final pick-and-roll.
In today's game, Durant shot 4 of 17, 27 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers, and 0 of 10 in the second half of the athletic game;
Tatum had 5 of 16, 19 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 turnovers, and 7 points in the fourth quarter.
The two are relatively high, high and low, and it is a gap visible to the naked eye. My impression is that Durant has not yet had a series of matchmaking like this, but it reminds me of the 12-year-old Western Conference semifinals, when Kobe Bryant, who was near 34 years old, stood opposite the 24-year-old Durant, and now near the 34-year-old Durant is opposite the 24-year-old Tatum, which is just the right moment.
At the end of the third quarter of G1, Durant singled Tatum was hatped, and then Tatum hit a dry three-pointer on the offensive end, which was a very symbolic ball.
On the first day of the NBA playoffs, there were four 30+, which were 38 points for 21-year-old Maxi, 36 points for 20-year-old Edwards, 32 points for 25-year-old Mitchell, and 30 points for 22-year-old Poole.
All this says just one thing: The NBA has reached a time when a new generation has come to replace the old. A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be someone who is young!
Second, the value of role players
The Nets scored in double figures, with Durant's highest 27 points followed by Brown's 23, then Dragic's 18, Curry's 16 and Irving's 10.
The Green Army's side was more evenly divided, with seven players scoring in double figures: Brown had a highest 22 points, Tatum had 19 points, and players behind them ranged from 17 to 10 points.
Chen Haonan's classic theory: out of the mix depends on three things, fierce enough, righteous and brotherly, obviously more brothers are the most real, and the green army brothers are more than the Nets. You can understand that the Green Army plays team basketball, why did the typical superstar team Nets also start playing team basketball?
In fact, there is no way, because both sides adopt the same defensive strategy: pressure on the stars - Durant and Tatum have encountered a lot of pinch and physical confrontation in this game, they either choose to shoot hard against the pinch or choose to give the ball to the teammates who are let go.
So Durant and Tatum are not efficient in this game, but all of their teammates have benefited from it.
The Nets' biggest beneficiary was Brown, who got plenty of empty seats when Durant was pinched. Of course, Brown himself was angry enough, especially when he was let go of the three-point line, he shot 3-of-4 three-pointers, and eventually cut down 23 points after Durant.
The Biggest beneficiaries of the Green Army are the starting double interior line, Horford and Theis. Horford's outgoing bullets were emptied most of the time, and he shot 3 three-pointers, and Theis's mid-range also made the Nets suffer, and the two eventually joined forces to score 31 points.
Both sides also had the Wizards stand up from the bench, Dragic played 20 minutes 14 of 8, 18 points and 4 rebounds, especially in the second quarter of 9 6 cut 13 points, is completely in 2020 with the Heat into the Finals state, the Nets can lead up to 17 points all rely on Dragic's wave of magic.
The Nets have Dragic and the Green Army has Gvi. Gervay scored 4-of-4, 3-of-3 on the outside, and 6-of-6 on the free throw line, scoring 17 points with a 100% shooting percentage, isn't it too much to honor a geek fairy? Gwe's contribution is not limited to offense, but also to the ability to change defenses and the advantages of body shape.
So overall, the two teams are very similar: both superstars are locked up, role players come forward, and the two teams hold each other for three full quarters. The role players have done their best, but the final ending still depends on the stars.
Third, the biggest advantage of the Green Army
The final quarter ended with Durant and Irving 1 of 9, for a total of 8 points;
Brown and Tatum scored 6-of-9 and scored 17 points, just as high as the Nets' team-wide scores in the final quarter!
Why is that? At its core, it's the counterpoint issue that was said before.
In the end, in order to ensure the attack, the Nets must at least put Irving and Curry Jr. on the court, even if we force the 1m 93 Brown into the front line, their lineup has a significant physical disadvantage against the Green Army, not to mention Nash has also placed three guards and even four guards for space.
So any Nets guard being replaced in front of Tatum and Brown is a huge misalignment, height, speed, strength and confrontation are all losses, so Brown and Tatum rush to the basket when they see them, which is a hand-held score.
Then some people will ask, is the Nets not misplaced against the Green Army?
The Green Army's final line-up is Smart + Double Probing Flower + Gervay + Horford, one guard + three forwards + center. But the guard is the best defensive player, you as the Nets definitely don't want to go to his trouble, all three fronts have a strong ability to change defenses, so Durant and Irving are looking for Horford in the end.
Although Horford is old, the experience and judgment of defense are still there, and the height and arm span are still there. Would you say it's easier for Irving and Durant to play Horford, or is it easier for the Green Army's double probe to name the Nets' guard?
When you've been playing for more than 40 minutes, after a lot of physical confrontation, pressing and pressing defense, and waves of fatigue impacting your mind and body, the sport of basketball will return to its essence: the closer you get to the basket, the greater the probability of scoring.
So Durant and Irving's final shots were inaccurate, but Tatum and Brown's baskets would not, and several times the baskets found the feel, and the outside line would naturally open.
When the game is caught in hand-to-hand combat, a technical flow team like the Nets is naturally inferior to the Green Army, which has been crawling all the way through the mud, and the more they play, the greater the disadvantage.
Celtics score 2-0 Nets!
Thanks for reading it all!
