On April 24, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs G3, the Nets lost 103-109 at home to the Celtics, and the total score was 0-3 behind the opponent. In this game, the Nets' Durant play is still not good. He made only 11 shots in the game, scoring 16 points, 8 boards and 8 assists on 6-of-11 shooting, but made 5 turnovers, plus-minus -2.
In this round of the series, Durant's form has been poor. In the G1 game, Durant shot 9-of-24 and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. In the G2 game, Durant shot only 4 of 17 and had 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. In this game, Durant shot 6 of 11, only 2 free throws, and got 16 points, 8 boards and 8 assists. According to statistics, in the past two games, Durant has only scored 10 sports goals in total, but there have been 11 mistakes.
Durant was clearly not at his best, and against the young Tatum, he didn't play at what he should have. Instead, Tatum became omnipotent in front of KD. In today's G3 game, Tatum shot 13 of 29, cut 39 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 steals, and the role of attack and defense at both ends of the attack was completely explosive Durant.
After the game, NBA star Perkins said: "Someone asked me what happened to Durant, the answer is very simple, he can't get the Celtics, that's it." However, the domestic NBA celebrity Su Qun gave a different view. During the live broadcast, Teacher Su Qun said that Durant's abnormal play was a bit surprising. He probably fought with wounds, which affected his combat effectiveness.
Durant suffered a sprained injury to the medial collateral ligament of his left knee during the regular season, which resulted in him missing 22 games. But after his comeback, Durant's personal form is not bad, and he has also cut two 50+ games. After entering the playoffs, Durant Athletic's form plummeted. Is it true that as Teacher Su Qun said, Durant may be fighting with wounds?
