In the playoffs, the Celtics vs. Nets, the Nets trailed 3-0 and were on the verge of being eliminated. I've always been bullish on the Nets. Not optimistic about the Nets fans, no one dared to say that the Nets would lose 3 games in a row before the start of the series. The reason is simple, not many people believe that Durant will perform badly in 3 consecutive games. But Durant's performance in this series has really disappointed his fans!
G1: Durant shot 9-of-24, with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 turnovers.
G2: Durant shot 4-of-17, with 27 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers.
G3: Durant shot 6-of-11, with 16 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 turnovers.
The Nets' roster is actually a team with a low fault tolerance rate, and if Durant plays out of order, it's really hard for the Nets to win. The Nets' 3-0 fall behind is due to a number of reasons, but Durant, as the leader of the team, is definitely responsible.
In an interview after the game, Durant talked about his performance in this series and today's game. Durant claims that the reason for his downturn is to think too much. Durant said: "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. ”
I think Durant's understanding is still relatively good. In the past three games, Durant started with few shots, and in the end, when there was no hope, Durant began to try to take over the game. At this time, on the one hand, the opponent's momentum has risen, on the other hand, Durant's physical strength has been greatly consumed. This leads to Durant not shooting when he is physically strong, and his physical strength is not good when he shoots.
Now that Durant recognizes this, no matter how coach Nash arranges the tactics in the next game, Durant is going to be himself back. The title of Grim Reaper is made by scoring! The next game, regardless of the outcome, don't shoot only 11 times!
