After the first game of the Nets and Celtics series, Tatum won the game through a deadlock, and the outside world is expecting the two teams to play to grab seven. But now there is a one-sided situation, the Nets also lost the game at home this time, the big score became 0-3 behind, and if you lose one more game, you will be eliminated, this score is still quite surprising.
Judging from the three games, the Celtics are obviously more prepared, especially the restrictions on Durant and Irving, which are completely prepared, showing: I am not afraid of you! The Nets did not respond in the face of the Celtics' attitude, and durant and Irving were helpless against the Green Army's defense in the last game and today's game. Durant's last game was 0-of-10 in the second half, and this time there were 0 shots in the last 11 minutes, and the psychology has changed, a little afraid of the opponent's defense.
When Durant and Irving are limited in focus, only Brown can stand up, is it reliable that he can win? Obviously not, even if he scored 30 points, the Celtics wouldn't worry. Looking at Simmons, Seth Curry and Drummond, who were traded in the season, this game has contributed a total of 12 points, including Curry 10 points, Drummond 2 points, Simmons off the court to watch 0 points, the Nets are happy early, they did not become a winner.
When the deal was completed, Curry and Drummond made up the gap in the team very well, and with Simmons, it was a bit of a profit. But the result? Simmons had back problems, has not come back, may come back in the next game, play for ten minutes, look for feelings. Originally, Simmons still had high expectations, but I didn't expect the team to wait for so long, and the specific run-in effect could only wait for next season. Interestingly, with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the camera was focused on the Nets bench, and the three of them just sat together and performed sluggishly.
Looking at Curry Jr. and Drummond, the regular season is good, but there is no room for play in the playoffs. Curry is short and easy to target, Brown and Tatum can easily single him; neither Drummond can keep up, and Nash only let him play for 15 minutes.
The Nets are 0-3 behind, and the 76ers added by Harden are 3-1 ahead of the Raptors, which also makes some fans choose to burn Harden jerseys to express their inner dissatisfaction. Originally, the Nets were the favorite to win the championship, but now they may face being swept out, and if they want to make a difference, they can only wait for next season.
