After losing three games in a row, the Nets are already on the edge of the cliff, and although the schedule is not over, the next game is still on their home court, but they have no room for error, and losing means the end of the season. The Celtics and the Nets played their third game of the playoffs, the game was very intense, both sides had a lead, the Nets saw the dawn of victory, but at the crucial moment they were soft, Durant and Irving never proved themselves, and in the end, the Celtics became the winning side again.
Today, the Nets and Celtics played another game, and the Celtics sent the starting players were Tatum, Brown, Smart, Horford and Theis. The Nets sent starting players are Durant, Irving, Curry, Brown and Drummond, and Simmons and Harris are absent due to injuries, so the Nets' lineup is not aligned, which has become the norm this season.
In this game, Durant and Irving played more than forty minutes and have tried their best, but their performance on the offensive end is not ideal, the score is not more than twenty points, the core players are not brilliant, and the Nets' loss is a reasonable thing. So far in the playoffs, although Durant's average score per game is not low, but his shooting percentage is very low, less than forty percent, compared with the past, the gap is relatively large, there has been a voice accusing Durant, fans think that his era is already in the past tense, and Durant does not think so, he said that there is no problem with physical fitness, the reason for losing is that he has not got more shooting opportunities.
Durant said it was an ugly game. In the first two games, there has been an attempt to play aggressive. But after looking back at the video of the game, I found that I missed a lot of empty opportunities. So to make the right judgment in today's game, you should have shot more shots.
Although the Nets are 0-3 behind in the overall score, but the difference in points in the three games is in single digits, indicating that the gap between the strength of the two teams is not very large, the first game, the Nets lost one point, the second game, the Nets lost seven points, the third game, the Nets lost six points, if you win a game, the situation may be completely different, can only say that the Nets luck is also very bad.
The Nets themselves have a lot of problems that are difficult to solve, the players have injuries, the lineup is not neat, and the coach's coaching ability is insufficient, but we should not ignore the Celtics, they are a very strong team, not only tough, defensively active, but also a certain offensive means, the team has a rising superstar, the overall and star strength is not worse than any team, so I think, the Celtics have become the biggest competitors of the Bucks, the team participating in the Finals is none other than them.
Game four is still at the Nets' home court, and they have nowhere to go, and I predict that the Nets will win, and the fate of being eliminated cannot be changed, at least for the honor, but also to win. The goal is getting farther and farther away, and if the Nets keep their original squad at the beginning of the season, the result may be completely different, and Harden's departure is an irreparable loss. With so many superstars, this super team is about to say goodbye to us.
