The NBA playoffs continued, with a focus battle in the East, the Nets playing at home against the Celtics, and in the end, they lost 103-109 to their opponents, and the series was already 0-3 behind, in a desperate situation. After watching this game, I can't help but sigh: In terms of disappointment, the Nets have never disappointed.
Returning home with a 2-0 deficit, people were expecting a different Nets team, but nothing changed. In the first half, the Nets played very steadily, scoring 25 points in both quarters and entering the halftime with a three-point trail. Easy to fight again, the Nets played badly in the third quarter, lost 6 points, although there was a counterattack in the last quarter, but only won 3 points in a single quarter, failed to fill the pit previously dug, and could only accept the fate of losing.
Throughout the game, the Nets did play very depressed, most of the time, they did not fall behind much, three or two balls can catch up with the position, but no matter what method they use, it is not able to catch up, that little point difference is like a graben, crazy. In fact, this is the gap in hard power, and it is not okay to be dissatisfied.
From the personal data point of view, the Nets and Celtics have a bit of a "mutual performance" flavor in this game. The Celtics relied on superstar single-point explosions, Tatum blasted 39 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 steals, and Jaylen Brown also scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and the two of them scored 62 points, accounting for more than half of the team's score.
The Nets played very average today, with as many as 6 people scoring in double figures, the most of which was the Wizards Bruce Brown, who only scored 26 points. The two most anticipated superstars, Durant only had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and Kyrie Irving also had 16 points, plus 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals. To be honest, in terms of their coffee positions, it is far from enough.
Because there are Durant and Kyrie Irving, no matter what the Nets' record is, they are the favorites for many people to compete for the championship, but whether it is the regular season record or the playoff performance, they are very crotchy. Not black, eastern nets, western lakers, in terms of disappointing, they have never disappointed.
