50-58！ The Nets were still suppressed at halftime, not once leading, eight points behind the Celtics! This 24 minutes, the Nets' shooting percentage is still OK, and they haven't lost a lot to the other side, but the free throws are really bad, mainly Clarkston, 7 of 0, don't know what to say, worse than O'Neal. The second is their defense, which is nothing to say, the problems that have been existing this season have not been solved, the inside line has been exploded, allowing the other side to grab rebounds to create multiple secondary attacks, and the number of shots is 9 times less than the other side. Finally, Irving's crotch, very selfish dragged down the team, did not provide enough help, Durant is helpless, but scolded, their own choice, no matter how difficult to support.
The Celtics played normally, with the double probe flower, although the shooting feel was average, but the defense was online, and the teammates gave strength, especially the substitutes, providing 20 points of fire support.
The situation in the second half was similar to the first half, Irving pulled the crotch, attack and defense were all missing, Clarkston did not hit the free throw, the inside line was exploded, all relying on Durant to top, without Adu, the Nets would have collapsed long ago. Curry's three-pointer came, Clarkston dunked with both hands, the sports battle was no problem, but the defense could not be defended, Irving did not open, the Nets would always be passive, Durant really tried his best, and the offense and organization were significantly improved.
Then Clarkston's free throw was finally hit, 1 of 11 shots, and he and his opponent were happy, it was not easy. But Irving still didn't, even if he couldn't shoot, he was counterattacked by the other side, inside and out, it was two balls.
The Celtics were rude, Tatum blew up the Browns, smart could play casually in the box, and the point difference returned to double digits. Irving's fast-break layup finally scored, but it was useless, the defense could not be defended, so that the Celtics could easily fight back, one after another, the point difference never changed, but the time was consumed. Fighting, Durant's physical problems, reasonable, physical fitness is not a strong point, coupled with serious injuries, and by the other side of the strict defense. However, Durant tried his best, the play of this game is really OK, but there is no way, this is team basketball, one person can not take away the victory. After the third quarter, the Nets trailed the Celtics by 12 points 78-90, although the point difference was not large, but people could not see the hope of overturning, or defense, this problem can not be solved, go back to fishing.
