The NBA's playoffs continue, with the Celtics vs. Nets. In the end, the Celtics beat the Nets 109-103. In terms of statistics, the Nets' Durant 16 points, 8 boards and 8 assists, Irving 16 points and 9 assists, Brown 26 points and 8 rebounds, Curry Jr. 10 points, Clarkston 13 points and 7 rebounds, Mills 12 points, Griffin 8 points; Celtic's Tatum 39 points, 5 boards, 6 assists and 6 steals, Jaylen Brown 23 points, 4 boards and 5 assists, Smart 14 points and 6 assists, Pritchard 10 points.
Who would have thought that the Nets, which were widely regarded before, would be so vulnerable to today's Green Army. Before, many people felt that the strong teams in the East were nothing more than the Bucks and 76ers. The former, because it is the defending champion, the latter, is because of the arrival of Harden. So, a lot of people overlook a lot of teams, like the Celtics, like the Heat. Many people feel that such 2 teams do not have an absolute core and no absolute superstars, so naturally they are not as good as the previous 2 teams.
Even, it is not as good as the Nets. But now, reality has slapped these people hard. That is, the Nets look super huge, but the lineup is incomplete, and the shortcomings are too obvious. Once Durant is restrained, the other points are essentially unable to erupt. Today, for example, the Nets are such a situation. Durant played the worst series ever, and for Irving, it was still a half-god, half-ghost player. So? The Nets' life is hanging in the balance.
Theoretically, the Nets still have a chance to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals. Realistically, in the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that can complete a reversal in a 0-3 situation, which is an impossible task. Therefore, for the Nets at the moment, what needs to be prepared is actually next season. This season, they're over and there won't be much else likely.
These are all natural things. So, for the Nets, why can't they beat the Celtics? Why are you 0-3 behind? Why give people a feeling that it is almost a breath, and this breath has been out of breath all the time? That's an interesting question.
In this regard, the famous mouth Yang Yi said: "More than two months ago, the morning of the trade with Harden, I said that this season the Nets were over, and a bunch of Nets fans scolded me. Later, before the playoffs began, I said that the gap between the Nets and the Celtics might be even bigger than everyone thought, and another group of Nets fans scolded me. Of course, I also said that I missed a lot. But in this era, fans scold the street, usually not because you are right or wrong, but because people don't like to hear what you say... However, as can be seen with the naked eye, the Nets are really committing many military taboos. First, send Harden away, they lose their only offensive organizer, no core guard. Can a team without a core defender go far? Second, their final lineup is essentially the same as the Lakers. Role players are seriously unbalanced in attack and defense, the few who can attack are too physically poor to defend (Curry, Dragic), the few that can be defended cannot shoot, and there is no space at all (Brown, Drummond, Clarkson). The Celtic body, how to fight with people. I didn't expect 0-3, but playing is just an obvious fact. Not bad Durant. His body, consumed in the regular season, has already vomited. As strong as James, he also has to shoot space to support. The Nets, as a team, need to be completely shuffled. ”
Such a statement is very sharp, but also very objective. For the Nets these days, that's the problem. But how to solve it? This is something that is not known. Because of this, many fans lamented that it was fortunate that Harden ran fast, otherwise he would have been trapped.
0-3, why are the Nets not the Green Army opponents at all? Yang Yi's analysis hit the nail on the head. As a fan, continue to pay attention to see if the Nets can make a difference after that, and see if the Nets will reshuffle after the end of the season.
