The Nets, who lost two consecutive games in Boston's North Shore Garden, failed to defend the home court after returning to their home barclays center in the third game, and yesterday due to durant and Irving's successive downturns, the Nets swallowed up the defeat 103-109, and the Celtics fell behind 0-3 on aggregate, and they were only one step away from the game point.
Forced into a desperate situation by the Green Army, the Nets promotion probability is only 1%
Earlier, according to the famous prediction system NBA Odds Machine predicted that the Nets and Celtics in this round of the series, the Nets to win this round of the series probability is only 1%, while the Greenshirts 4 than the probability of directly sweeping the Nets is as high as 62%, the probability of solving the Nets in 5 games is 27%, the probability of solving the Nets in 6 games is 7%, the probability of winning the Nets in 6 games is 3%, given that there has never been a team in the history of the NBA that can complete the Jedi reversal without falling behind 0-3. In fact, after the Nets lost the third game yesterday, they have been sentenced to a "death delay" by the Green shirts, so this prediction system is also to some extent to leave some face for the Nets.
The playoff heat failed to continue, and the Nets' double-core playoffs were in a slump
After relying on the full Big Three to eliminate the Celtics in the first round 4-1 last season, the Nets estimated that they would not expect that a year later, they would be forced into a desperate situation by this old rival, due to Harden's departure before the trade deadline, which also made the Nets' proud Big Three, become only Durant, Irving two cores of the dilemma, and in the regular season only achieved the seventh place in the East, through the playoff victory over the Cavaliers, only to get a playoff ticket, At that time, the outside world was very optimistic about the green shirts who ranked more and could eliminate the Nets in the first round. However, Nets fans did not buy it, after all, the double core in the playoffs and cavaliers, have a good performance, KD scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, Irving is 15 of 12 super high accuracy to score 34 points and 12 assists, just when everyone thinks that this is their warm-up link before the arrival of the playoffs, ready to enter the playoffs to kill, the result did not want to play with the Celtics series, the Nets just lost in the slump of the two cores.
The first game broke out and almost saved the Nets, even if Irving turned on the fairy mode again, it was too late
In these three games, Durant averaged only 22 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting as low as 36.5%, and each game was accompanied by the second highest 5.7 turnovers in the league, and Irving, who was passing Through Ramadan, was also in a slump, averaging only 21.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in the case of up to 42 minutes of playing time, and a three-point shooting rate as low as 33.3%.
Unlike Durant's performance in these 3 games is very sluggish, Irving did continue the previous fiery feel in the playoffs in the first game, in the 42 minutes of playing time, 20 shots 12, 10 of 6 three-pointers, slashed 39 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, if it were not for Tatum's kill, the Nets may really win this victory under Irving's excellent play, the result of this regrettable loss, but also let the Nets completely discouraged afterwards, Irving did not open the "fairy mode", In addition, KD does not have much offensive desire, and the Nets cannot block the impact of the Celtics double probe flower without relying on a group of role players alone. As a result, he is now sentenced to a suspended death sentence by the other party. For the Nets, the season is basically over early, but in order to support their fans, they also hope that the team can toughly pull back a few games, and if they are really swept out, the Nets' double core is really a bit faceless.
