The Nets are gone, and their playoff journey has basically come to an end. No team in league history has yet to turn the tables in the adversity of 0-3. The Nets, too, are no exception.
In the US media update of the promotion probability analysis, the Nets' probability of promotion is only 0.8%, ranking first among the 16 playoff teams. Moreover, the Nets have no room for change and adjustment, and everything about Durant and Irving is destined to be in the control of the opponent.
Because of this, when the 0-3 defeat was difficult to rewrite, discouragement, disappointment and frustration filled the faces of Durant and Irving. For the next battle of redemption, the Nets only want to do their best. Whether Durant continues the current model of driving teammates or the model of individual explosions and scoring, the ending is difficult to change.
On this side, the Nets are playing more and more desperately, and the future can only fight for honor; over there, the Warriors are full of momentum and have become the best benchmark for sweeping opponents. What is the difference between the 0-3 Nets and the 3-0 Warriors?
Both teams have played three games in the playoffs, but the difference in strength has been vastly different. The first is the perfection of the lineup. The Warriors have always been a dynamic team on the offensive end, but Green's absence has made the outside world think that their defense is as fragile as the Nets. But when Green opened the playoff mode, the Warriors' defense immediately improved by several notches, coupled with the mobility of the small lineup, the Warriors immediately changed their appearance and became a championship-fighting team again.
Leaving aside Green's offense, the Warriors have many offensive launch points, and almost everyone has the ability to project. But the Nets' lineup is very deformed, Dragic and Seth Curry can help the team attract defense, but they will become a huge loophole in the defensive round; Brown and Drummond can give defensive help, but their appearance often makes Durant and Irving feel more pressure.
Facing the Nets, the Celtics poured all their strength into limiting the two stars in charge, while facing the Warriors, opponents needed to weigh between Curry, Thompson, Poole and Wiggins, and someone could always get the opportunity to explode.
In the closing stage of the regular season, Curry was absent due to injury, and the Warriors strove to lose, making people mistakenly think that the nets and warriors were not comparable. But the Warriors' true strength is far more powerful than they showed in the regular season.
The talent gap in the roster, the Celtics' defensive oppressiveness, did make the Nets very passive, but that's not a reason for Nash to concede. Nash has two great offensive aces in hand, but in the series they can't really use their abilities, let alone extra offensive coordination.
Although Durant and Irving played more than 40 minutes on the court, most of their time was doing things they were not good at. The two are cold-blooded and ruthless killers, but they want to play the core of sitting in the tent, strategizing, and leading their teammates forward. As a result, the killers hesitated, and their teammates were suppressed and could not look up.
And according to the past style of play, Durant and Ouwen should bury their heads in hard work and believe in the play of their teammates. As team pioneers, they cut points on the front line like chopping vegetables, which can naturally break the Celtics' defense and motivate their teammates to explode. However, Nash did not choose this, and Durant and Irving did not play their own basketball. They would rather play more than 40 minutes of offensive pass coordination than stick to the efficiency and stability of 20 minutes.
For comparison, the famous coach Kerr's divine operation in the playoffs is to make Curry appear as a substitute. Because of injuries, Cole squeezed Curry's playing time. The main reason here, of course, is that the Warriors have a replacement for that position, and they don't lack point guards. However, this historically rare operation method, as well as the retrospective of the past, you have to sigh cole's boldness.
Curry averaged 25.1 minutes per game and was able to cut 25.7 points, 3 boards and 4.7 assists, shooting 55.3% from the field and 44% from three-point range. Curry's score explosion per unit of time is enough to destroy the world, and his death after the appearance of the five small, but also become the strongest weapon to break the opponent in the short term.
With durant and Irving's abilities, they can also be as good as Curry. Perhaps the gap in the strength of teammates may not be able to support them to defeat their opponents, but such performance is undoubtedly a good medicine to motivate teammates.
In the final game, the Nets did not have any room for adjustment. They only have two ways to play, either to let the Nets die depressed, or to let Duo kill a world and rush out of the night of despair.
The charisma of the leaders led by Durant and Irving is not to use assists to make teammates score new highs, but to lead by example, charge forward, and slash 40+ to set off an offensive frenzy. Brown's 26 points can't save the Nets, Seth Curry and Mills can't save the Nets, and the only people who can save them are Durant and Owen!
Teammates are not configured differently, your attributes are not the same, don't learn James anymore.
