On April 24, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued, and the Series G3 between the Nets and the Celtics officially began. In the end, the Nets lost 103-109 to the Celtics, trailing 3-0. The series is a 7-4 win system, and the Nets will be swept away by the Green Army if they lose one more game, which is difficult to imagine before, and Durant and Irving have also been questioned by fans.
The Nets are already in a bad situation, and reporters are still worried about Irving, and in the post-game press conference, Irving was asked about the Cavaliers' 1-3 reversal of the championship. One thing to say is that these reporters' ability to engage in mentality is indeed first-class. Perhaps the reporter's original intention was to increase Irving's motivation, but when the Nets had gone, they still asked Irving this kind of question, really did not give Irving any face. But Owen's poignant response was lamentable, and upon hearing the question, Owen said, "It's a different situation now, bro! ”
To tell the truth, when the Cavaliers fell behind the Warriors 1-3 in the Finals, and finally won the championship in three consecutive games, Irving really contributed. In particular, that three-point accurate kill is enough to become the most classic scene of Irving's career so far. It's just that in addition to Irving, that Cavaliers team also had a James at the peak. Now, when the Nets are in a quagmire, the reporter asks Irving about the Cavaliers' 1-3 reversal of the championship, and does not know whether Irving missed James at the moment of being questioned?
Of course, Irving is not without helpers now, and Durant is still one of the top players in the league. However, in this playoff session, Durant completely lost himself. In the 3-game series against the Celtics, Durant made 6, 6 and 5 turnovers respectively, and 17 turnovers in 3 games. Not only that, Durant's confidence seems to be lost, and in the past 2 games, Durant has only scored 10 sports goals in total.
The Nets played the Celtics series G2 and G3, and Durant played more and more without confidence. In the second half of G2, Durant shot 0-of-10 and did not score a sports goal. In the last 11 minutes of G3, Durant simply shot 0 and put all his hopes on other teammates, is this still the grim reaper that fans know? This is exactly the problem, when Durant did not have the confidence to shoot, Irving did not stand up to support the score, and finally the Nets lost the game at home, a big score of 0-3 behind!
Judging from the competitive state presented in the first 3 games, Durant and Irving's mentality is completely wrong. Since the team is behind by a big score, it is necessary to try to catch up, but the Duo combination is still not excited to return to the home, and let the Celtics win the series point, which is really not right!
