In the next Game of the Nets, unless Durant averages more than 40 points per game and also has to ensure a shooting rate of more than 50%, the Nets will be handed over to the Green Army. As far as the current Nets are concerned, it is basically impossible to fight with the Green Army to defend, four or five small guards on the outside, the Green Army is a variety of misalignment singles to eat, Tatum this round of playoffs really has to eat and drink. If the outside line shoots well, it will always shoot, the outside line will not be allowed to kill the inside line to score, and the Nets' defense cannot keep up at all. If the defense is not good, the Nets can only fight offense, if a game is still held like this hundred and a half, the Nets have no chance of winning.
In the first three games, Durant played the most tangled. Durant was even foul-mouthed at the G3 post-match conference, and Durant was obviously a little angry when talking about the whole series: "I'm not tired, I'm not injured, I feel good when I play, I don't blame it." And G3 Durant is a full 45 minutes, the previous G1 and G2 combined Durant played a total of 82 minutes, almost all the games are fighting to the extreme, this round of playoffs is the most difficult and the worst round of playoffs in Durant's career.
To sum up, it is two words: hard work! In fact, it is not Durant who struggles, but the influencing factors driven by the team make him play hard. First of all, most of the Green Army's players in size are tall and strong, obviously superior to the Nets' lineup, and none of the Nets' small guards can withstand it. Second, Durant has suffered different degrees of pinch, defense and physical confrontation in these three playoff games! The Green Army's defense of Durant is not the kind of strategy that lets you play and has the ability to shoot me alone, but to prevent you Durant, you have the ability to shoot me. This makes Durant uncomfortable, G1 and G2 Durant is a bit of a gambling crazy singles, and then it's crazy iron.
At G3, Durant wanted to be reasonable, but he didn't expect it to be too reasonable. 8 assists out of 5 mistakes, 1 shot in the last quarter, reasonable home, so that the last ball pass was also robbed, he not only did not play out his personal ability, the pass is still a mess, the entire first three games of the series Durant is like a rookie playing the playoffs, disorganized. At the same time, the Nets defense is not good, the offense can not be opened, when Durant and Irving are both frustrated, the Nets' offense is completely out of the target is completely dependent on the role players in the score.
But Irving said after the game that the Nets had the potential to turn the tables. Because he has experienced a big reversal of 1-3 behind in the Finals, and now he is 0-3 behind, it is not impossible to win four more games, Irving is still very confident. But in fact, there is no team in the NBA that can do four consecutive games behind 0-3, and for the Green Army, if it is really overturned by the Nets for four consecutive games, it is nailed to the column of shame. At the same time, in the history of the Green Army, a total of 41 2-0 lead playoffs have won 40 times, and now it is a 3-0 lead, the Nets want to overturn Durant to maintain an average of more than 40 points per game, Irving also have to maintain an average of more than 30 points per game.
