4-of-17, relying on 18-of-20 free throws to improve his score to 27 points, Durant played a disastrous performance in the first round of G2 with the Celtics, and was completed by the opponent to complete a 17-point reversal, and the big score was also 0-2 behind. The Nets, once a favorite for championships, are now in danger of being out of the first round. Durant is undoubtedly the Nets' biggest culprit in the situation at the moment.
During the game, the Nets led by as many as 17 points, but Durant, known as the God of Death, lost all 10 shots in the second half and was completely unable to help the team score at key moments. The same is true of Owen, these two stars can be called Wolong Phoenix, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the two heroes of the Green Army's victory. On the other hand, Harden, who was traded in the middle of the season, is now playing well in Philadelphia, and his team has taken a 3-0 lead and has the momentum to sweep the Raptors in the first round. It has always been said that the Eastern welfare, the Eastern welfare, but now that two years have passed, whether the Nets can reach the Finals is still unknown.
In an interview after the game, Durant said: "No matter where I go there are two or three people surrounding me, I want to come up with a way to crack it. This sentence sounds like there is no problem, the Green Army will indeed implement the bag tactics on him, but don't forget, he has another All-Star team kyrie Owen by his side, why the Green Army still dares to pack him in this situation, but last year did not dare to do so, the answer may be only one: Durant last year had Harden by his side.
If your goal is a superstar, age will not be a reason for Durant to play badly, know that James of the same age averaged 34 points, 9 rebounds and 8.4 assists in 7 games against the Celtics in the playoffs, and the number two scorer Lefour at that time was 15 points and 11 rebounds, James relied on his historical performance to bring the Cavaliers to the Finals.
James and Irving teamed up to reach the finals three times in three years and won a championship once, and the combination of Durant and Irving has not yet achieved anything.
After two difficult road trips, the Nets will return to their home games G3 and G4, which are two games that they absolutely cannot lose, as long as they lose one, they will face a 1-3 situation, and there is little hope of turning the tables.
