The NBA playoffs continued, with a focus battle in the East, with the Nets playing the Celtics at home, and they were swept out 4-0 by losing 112-116. During the game, a very funny scene occurred, during the timeout, the Celtics will still be dead against Durant, no wonder they can sweep the Nets.
Throughout the game, the first three quarters, the Nets are in a passive, three quarters are net loss of 4 points, very stable. In the fourth quarter, the life and death moment in the life and death battle, they finally had a little taste of awakening, but it was too late, so even if they won the opponent by 8 points 34-26 in the single quarter, they could not fill the big pit and get out depressed.
Kevin Durant, who was sprayed miserably before, can see that this game still wants to prove himself, he has been very positive from the beginning of the attack, the feel is also good, half-time to get 20 points. But in the second half, as his physical fitness began to decline, his efficiency also began to decline, and he was left with only struggle. In the end, Durant played 46 minutes and 39 seconds, not high overall 13 of 31 shots, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, and 4 turnovers. Kyrie Irving also played nearly 45 minutes, contributing 20 points, five rebounds and five assists.
For a superstar like Durant, opponents will definitely place heavy troops on him, especially in such a life-and-death battle, he is almost a clear card for the Nets. How far do you have to defend Durant? The Celtics will demonstrate. In the middle of the fourth quarter, we saw that during a timeout, Durant dribbled the ball and prepared to go to the bench, Grant Williams still did not let him go, continued to defend, so that the referee thought that the two of them were going to clash, funny and speechless.
Grant Williams is just a microcosm of the Celtics' outstanding performance in this series, with attitude and strength, no wonder they can sweep the Nets. The Nets became the only team to be swept in the first round, and like the Lakers, they are the most disappointing teams of the year, and I hope they can make a comeback next year and bring a different look.
