On April 24, the Third Game of the Nets' Series with the Green Army was lost 103-109. Durant was in poor shape, with 16 points, eight rebounds and eight assists and 16 turnovers, while the Greens Tatum blasted down 39 points. Durant set a record of shame and said after the game that he was the main reason for his downturn.
1. Us media StatMuse listed the data, Durant did not shoot a goal in the second half of the second game, and did not have a single shot in the last 11 minutes of the third game.
2. Us media StatMuse listed the data, Durant only made 11 shots, while Bruce Brown shot 19 times, which is what the Green Army defensive side wants to see.
3. Durant averaged 22 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in the playoffs this year, shooting 36.5 percent from the field. Prior to this season, Durant averaged 29.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4 assists per game and shot 47.8 percent from the field.
It can be said that Durant has lost a lot of standards in this year's playoffs. Nash post-match decided that the reason for Durant and Irving's slump was tiredness, mentioning that Durant played more than 40 minutes per game after his return.
Durant, however, denied in an interview that he was tired and said he was not injured. Durant himself revealed the two real causes of the downturn.
The first reason is that the Celtics are well defensively and tall. "I just think they're bigger than ours, and in their rotation, the smallest Smart is also 6'4 inches." Durant said.
The second reason is that Durant thinks too much himself. "I feel like I'm thinking too much. Playing ball should be freewheeling, be free, and don't need to think about the. I'm just thinking too much right now, trying to get everyone involved in the game, and then I'm out of the game myself. Durant said.
The Nets have fallen behind the Green Army 0-3, which is basically equivalent to a slow death, and no team in history has completed a reversal in the case of 0-3 behind. Us media StatMuse listed Durant and the Warriors' four big stars Curry, Thompson, Poole and Green, and joked: "Durant really chose to leave this team." ”
If Durant hadn't left the Warriors, the warriors would now have an incredibly fantastic lineup. The Warriors now have the first odds to win the championship, while the Nets face being swept away. What the US media StatMuse expressed is that Durant's departure from the Warriors is questionable.
