After losing two games in a row, the Brooklyn Nets are finally back at home to take on the Challenge of the Boston Celtics. Although the playoffs will be a new start, especially the Nets, who have previously performed badly, they and the Greenshirts have come to the same running line. But who would have thought that the Nets would once again be the team that was bullied, and the series was already at a huge disadvantage. The Nets' problems are not with any one person, Durant failed to continue to show his playoff death scythe, and Irving's performance is unpredictable, and they are all responsible for the team's loss.
Returning to the home of Brooklyn this time, Ben Simmons still has not ushered in a comeback, and what kind of challenge the Nets should go out of is indeed worth looking forward to. However, Durant has publicly stated that he will be in better shape to deal with the next game. We can choose to trust Durant unconditionally, but head coach Nash really doesn't dare to compliment. So, will Durant, who returns to the home court, unlock the scythe of death under the green army's defensive strategy of infinite change of defense? Let's move on.
At the beginning of the game, Durant and Irving's shooting feel was good, leading the team to a small climax of 12-5, and Bruce Brown also sent 10 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, but it also failed to help the team stabilize the initiative of the score lead. That's right, Tatum, who played away, was in high form, and in the first quarter, he delivered a luxurious stat of 12 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, leading the team to a 30-25 score and a 5-point lead. Who would have thought that the Green Shirts, who won two consecutive games at home, would be able to maintain extremely strong combat effectiveness and achieve the feat of domination even if they reached the Home of the Nets.
The green shirts, who entered the second quarter of the showdown and took the lead, intended to go down, and at one point widened the point difference to 12 points. Payton Pritchard, who came off the bench, made a big splash in the second quarter, shooting 4-of-5 and delivering a crucial 10 points, but the Nets played a booming spree and rejected the Greenshirts' ambition to widen the points gap. After a 25-23 quarter, the Nets recovered two points from the first quarter. At the end of the first half of the game, the Greenshirts only took a 3-point lead with a score of 53-50!
Durant still did not show the playoff scythe in the first half, only 7 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, while Irving had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, but he also failed to play a big role Bruce Brown's half-time 16 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist Data was amazing, but it did not help the team to take the lead. To be sure, Brown set a new halftime scoring record for his playoffs while getting this statistic. Whether it's on the road or at home, the Nets have not been able to play an advantage, and the Greenshirts are indeed a team that should not be underestimated.
Faced with such a situation, Ben Simmons and Drummond on the bench were confused and had a look of disbelief. Not only that, as the head coach, Nash's mood also became solemn, and at one point he put his hands on his chest and looked thoughtful. Halfway through the game, Durant failed to show the grim reaper's demeanor, Irving's performance was decent, and the Nets had to make some changes if they wanted to win.
