On April 25, Beijing time, this year's NBA playoffs have been described as a few joys and a few sorrows, and now the American media "Open-air Grandstand Sports" has summarized the first week and selected the top 3 most disappointing players or teams. Durant's sluggish performance and the Nets' imminent exit made him the most disappointing player of the first week, while Towns had two games of hip-pulling, plus the Jazz failed to take advantage of Doncic's first three games to take advantage of the first three games, and also successfully made the first week of the list of disappointments.
1. Durant
With James missing the playoffs this year, it was natural to put Durant in the spotlight, and he was praised by the media as the best player today. However, at the end of the first three games of the playoffs, Durant's Nets are 0-3 behind, one step away from the game, and Durant is playing the worst series of his career.
As of now, Durant has averaged 22 points per game, but he has only 36.5% of the shooting target, and has delivered as many as 17 turnovers, and he has scored 25 fewer points than the Celtics when he is on the court. Durant was not able to repeat the "Death Comes" scene, he lost the key three points in the first game, and the defensive end watched Tatum complete the whistle-blowing kill. Durant was 4-of-17 in the second game, 0-of-10 in the second half, and Durant was 0 in 11 minutes after the third game, and the score was 16-39 by Tatum.
Can Durant still lead the Nets to fight back? 0-3 behind there is no precedent for reversal, and Simmons G4 has retreated and cannot play, and the Nets have been killed.
2. Towns
Although the Timberwolves chased a 2-2 draw on aggregate, giving them hope of seeing Black Seven again, it was clear that Towns' performance was unsatisfactory. In the first four games of the series, Towns had two games to play crotch, and although downs currently averaged 21.3 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, he only hit seven goals in G2 and G3, but delivered nine turnovers and 10 fouls.
If Towns can play normally, the Timberwolves should now take a 3-1 lead, and the Timberwolves will play 2 of the next 3 games on the road, and the Timberwolves are still not optimistic about the counterattack. Once Towns is down again, the Timberwolves are not far from being out.
3. Sir Utah
The Jazz used Gobert's violent dunk to successfully chase the aggregate score to a 2-2 draw, and once again saw the hope of counterattack promotion. At present, according to the prediction of the US media, the probability of the Jazz's promotion is 45%, 10 percentage points behind the Lone Ranger, or there is hope for the following grams.
It was only in Doncic's absence in the first three games of the series that the Jazz should have seized the opportunity to suppress the Lone Rangers, and the result was that the first three games were 1-2 behind, and there was no doubt that the Jazz missed their best chance to advance. In the next 3 games, Doncic has returned to good form, and the Lone Ranger also has home field advantage, so the Lone Ranger is more optimistic about the promotion side.
