After losing the game 103-109 on April 24, Beijing time, the Nets were already 0-3 behind in the series against the Celtics, which also means that game 4 of the series is likely to be a game in which the Nets are swept out.
In this game, Durant and Irving each scored only 16 points, and the two shots on 6-of-11 shooting and 6-of-17 shooting, respectively, which was obviously not enough to lead the Nets to victory.
And then, the Nets can only focus on Game 4 of the series, not to mention ben Simmons seems to have the possibility of returning in this game, but his return can help the Nets turn the tide?
Nets coach Steve Nash also revealed Simmons' injury ahead of Game 3 against the Celtics:
"He trained with some people this morning," Nash said, "I think he's good and I don't think he has any new setbacks, so I think he finished training today, which is positive." ”
Whether Simmons will be able to return in Game 4 of the series is still unknown.
Knicks star Charles Oakley, on the other hand, said in an interview that Steve Nash is not the right head coach for the Nets:
For now, the Nets are already 3-0 behind in the first-round series against the Celtics and face the embarrassing situation of being swept.
Finally, it should be mentioned that Durant has not been able to perform well enough in the series against the Celtics so far. The Eastern Conference scout said in an interview that Durant, who suffered a serious injury, is no longer a player at the top:
Durant can still have a very top performance in the regular season, but he really didn't perform well enough against the Celtics in this series.
