On April 25, Beijing time, when the Nuggets refused to sweep the total score to chase the total score to 1-3 behind the Warriors, now of the 16 teams in the NBA playoffs this season, only the Nets are the only 0-win team, and the Nets who are 0-3 behind are predicted by Fivethirtyeight to turn the game the probability of promotion is only 0.8%. Barkley is also crazy to spit on Durant, saying that players who average less than 20 points per game (actually 22 points per game) are not top players, and let the outside world stop talking about Durant as a championship star.
There are two sets of 0-3 trailing series in the first round of this year's playoffs, the Nuggets in the West are 0-3 behind the Warriors, and the Nets in the East are behind the Celtics 0-3. Now in the first round of G4, the Nuggets, led by Jokic's powerful performance of 37+8+6, successfully pulled back a city that refused to be swept, and also let the Nuggets come to the familiar 1-3 behind situation. Although the Nuggets are still not optimistic, at least they are not swept out.
The Nets, on the other hand, are currently 3-0 behind, and they are the only team among the 16 playoff teams this year that have been difficult to win so far. Now Simmons was originally ready for the G4 comeback, but once again said that he would not come back, but also to give the Nets another blow, but also to let the outside world optimistic that the Celtics won another game, thus sending the Nets 0-4 to be swept out.
The slump in Durant and Irving's duo has been one of the key factors in the Nets' underperformance this year, especially durant's current career worst series. Barkley criticized this, "A player who averages less than 20 points per game in the playoffs (Durant actually averaged 22 points per game in his first three games), don't tell me he's a top star." I remember that I never scored as low a score in the playoffs (in fact, Barkley averaged just 14.9 points per game in the 1985 playoffs). ”
Barkley further said, "You always say that Durant is a championship star, but in my case, if you are just a passenger in the bus car, then this championship is meaningless." If you're not a bus driver (the team leader), don't go around saying you're a champion all day. Every bus passenger has a championship ring, which is nothing to show off. But if you're a bus driver and you're playing key performances in the race and you're able to make your teammates better, it's a completely different situation. ”
The Nets will continue to sit at home at 7:00 on April 26, ushering in the first round of G4 with the Celtics, and whether Durant can lead the team to pull back a city that refuses to be swept is also extremely exciting.
