It was probably the worst playoff game durant had played in his career, not one of them. Even if he G1 and G2 are crazy to play iron, but these two playoff games Durant is a good heart, is crazy shooting and offense, but this G3 can be called the worst playoff game of Durant's career. He had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists on 6-of-11 shooting, while Durant played for 45 minutes, but durant only got 4 points on 1-of-1 shot in the entire final quarter, and Durant in the final quarter was even the whole game.
The game didn't know what was going on, Durant suddenly stopped attacking, didn't shoot, a lot of passes, a lot of chances in a teammate. Including when the Nets trailed the Green Army by four points in the final 103-107, Durant carried the ball to the front court, and the world thought that Durant would pull out a three-pointer to give the Nets one last breathing space, but Durant chose to pass the ball again, and the result was a mistake, which directly buried the Nets in this game. So it's very confusing, what happened to Durant? It was as if there was no fighting spirit in this game, and the life and death battle only made these 11 shots.
And the Nets are not without a chance to win, but have a chance to compete with the Green Army, but many times the Nets lose points because of poor defense, and Durant's words this game seems to be intentionally playing the role of an all-rounder, but Durant is not that type of player after all, he is bent on passing he lost his own offense. Although Brown scored 26 points on 10-of-19 shooting, the Nets were such a 20+ point player, which seemed very abrupt, and this game with the Green Army seemed to be a little frustrated.
It is not clear what role Durant wants to play in this series, but from the perspective of these three playoff games, Durant's performance is getting worse and worse, especially G3, the first two games can be said that Durant can not find the feel, the state is nothing. But G3 Durant only shot 11 times, it's like having already conceded defeat, the Nets can't win the game like this, Durant doesn't come up with that kind of super god play, the Nets have no way to compete with the Green Army. In addition to the Nets, Irving continued to play iron, scoring 16 points on 6-of-17 shooting. And here in the Green Army, the Otter Rabbit had 39 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, once again single-player to lead the team to win.
The situation now is that the Green Army leads the Nets 3-0, is there still a miracle for the Nets? Theoretically, there is no miracle at all, the playoffs can go home and fish, no team can flip four games in a row with three losses in the playoffs, and no team can do it. It's not easy for the Nets to turn over this game, and to some extent, the Nets now have only one goal left, that is, to try to avoid being swept by the Green Army, so G4 is not only a battle for the dignity of the Nets, but also a proof battle for Durant in this playoff.
