It's over! Witnessed by tens of thousands of Nets fans, Durant and Irving fought a disappointing battle. Trailing 3-0 in the series, the Nets' future is left with only the fight for honor. Knowing that today, instead of being humiliated by the Celtics, the Nets would be like the Lakers and directly miss the playoffs.
Tired, frustrated, complaining, under the Celtics' defense, Durant and Irving played not like the league's top offensive arrows, but the Overlord gun without a gun head. It's okay to scare people, really fight, like a weapon wrapped in a cotton bag.
After more than 40 minutes of continuous hard fighting and high-intensity physical confrontation, Durant has long been overwhelmed. In this battle, the grim reaper's eyes are confused, the sense of existence on the offensive end is weak, and when encountering the bag clip to assist in defense, the passing mistakes are frequent. Irving also had a hard time finding a feel under the Celtics' defensive system, Smart's oppressiveness, the team's unlimited ability to change defenses, and Irving's stunning play in the first game have become a thing of the past.
Brown, Seth Curry, Clarkston, Mills and Griffin, the Nets' role players worked hard enough and they did a great job. But the Nets are very different from the Celtics in their natural ability to defend and counter-attack. The Celtics' 25-9 fast-break score in this campaign left the Nets exhausted. In the final quarter, this physical gap made the young Celtics more competitive.
Trailing 3-0, no team in history has ever completed such a reversal. It has ended, this is the disappointment of the national football team in the past, but also the despair of today's Nets. Compared with the cruel score, the mentality of the entire Nets team has now collapsed.
During the game, Durant once made a low-level mistake because of a communication failure with Irving. The two then complained in frustration, and Owen also showed his dissatisfaction. And when Tatum rode in the dust and faced Durant with a dragon counterattack to the basket, Death smashed the ball into the rack in frustration.
After the game, Nash talked about the disadvantage of falling behind 3-0, "It's about our positioning and character, we have to do our best, we have to play with pride. "Obviously, from the coach to the players to the fans, they have lost confidence in the Nets counterattack and dare not even have a glimmer of hope.
The two giants at the beginning of the season, one missed the play-off and left the field hastily; one was abused in the first round and was in danger. The era of the mighty inheritance of the past is over, and the era of the crowd is coming.
