On April 24, Beijing time, the Nets lost to the Celtics 103-109 at home, leaving them 0-3 behind. In this game, Kevin Durant's form is still very sluggish, with only 16 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists on 6-of-11 shooting. In the crucial fourth quarter, Durant played 12 minutes but only shot once, and his desire to survive and aggressiveness were questioned by the outside world.
Throughout the series, Durant has played poorly. His performance has also been widely questioned by the outside world. Especially compared to Tatum's excellent performance, Durant's situation has become even worse. Green Army star Pierce said: "Tatum is a better player than Durant. ”
In response to these questions from the outside world, Durant did not make much sophistry. But he has been stressing: "I feel like I'm thinking too much." Always trying to get everyone involved in the game, and then I myself wandered away from the game. ”
In addition, Durant also talked about the strength of the Green Army's defense, he said: "I just think they are bigger than ours, and in their rotation, the smallest Smart is also 6'4 inches. ”
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Durant has talked about the size of the two sides. After losing the last game, Durant also mentioned this. He said: "We often put on three defenders who are less than 6'2 (188cm) and 6'3 (192cm), and the opponents often form singles. ”
The Nets' guard players, Curry Jr. is 1.88m tall, Irving is 1m88m, Mills is 1m83m and Dragic is 1m91. In addition, Bruce Brown is only 1 meter 93. In terms of counter-size, the Nets do belong to the inferior side.
But there are also fans who remind Durant that the Nets have had a large guard player before, that is, Harden. Unfortunately, the Nets did not cherish the whole team, causing Harden to leave the team in anger. Ben Simmons, who was traded to the team, was of good shape, but he has been unable to play due to injury. There is news that Ben Simmons will return in the next game, and the Nets, who are already 0-3 behind, will there be a miracle?
