On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued in full swing. The Boston Celtics, who have won the match point in the first round of the playoffs with a 3-0 score, and the Nets have once again ushered in a key G4 battle. Although the Green Army's proud Tanhua group is still very young, they have gradually played the style of a historic duo. Against durant and Irving, who are extremely aggressive in attack, Tatum still maintains a steady output, showing the value of his team leader.
In fact, it took only three games to win the series match point, and the Greenshirts have basically stepped into the door of the Eastern Conference semifinals. That's right, in the NBA's playoff history statistics, no team has ever completed the final reversal in a series where they are 3-0 behind. Durant did not unlock the attributes of the playoff Grim Reaper, Irving's data performance is also unpredictable, superstar players have not been able to show the technical level they deserve, how can the Nets achieve a reversal? And this time ushered in the G4 war, will the Nets lose again, ending the season's journey early? Let's move on.
In the first half of the competition, Durant's state was still relatively good. He had 11 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, and after entering the second quarter showdown, he could also hand over 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. However, Irving's performance was not ideal, with 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter, and the second quarter of the state recovery was only 4 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists. At the same time, the double probe flower combination on the side of the green shirt army led the team to play a state of blooming everywhere. With a score of 30-26 in the first quarter, it was not enough to achieve a feat of domination, and the second quarter of the showdown could continue to expand the lead with a score of 28-24.
After taking a nearly double-digit lead, the Greenshirts, who entered the second half of the showdown, did not give the Nets a chance to counterattack. Tatum handed over 12 points and 1 rebound in the third quarter to lead the team to a 32-28 score and a four-point lead. Before entering the crucial final quarter of the showdown, the difference between the two sides reached 12 points, and the Greenshirts clearly had a better chance of winning the game. That's right, even though Tatum left early with 6 fouls, the Green shirts could continue to stabilize the situation. The Nets scored 34-26 in the final quarter, recovering the eight points they had previously trailed, still allowing the opponent to score 116-112 and refusing to reverse.
The Boston Celtics managed to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 4-0 lead and kicked the Nets out of the game. Looking back at the game's stats, Durant played the playoff Grim Reapers, delivering a game-high score of 39 points, as well as 7 rebounds and 9 assists in nearly 47 minutes of playing. However, Durant's awakening is still a little late, and in the face of the overwhelming green shirts, he can only cut the king. At the same time, Irving's performance is not bad, sending 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, as well as Curry Jr., who handed over 23 points.
The three of them effectively shared the overall scoring pressure of the team, but they failed to lead the team to complete the final reversal, which is really regrettable. However, Durant was not embarrassed by being kicked out early, and at the end of the game, he still hugged the greenshirts star Tatum, and the two greeted each other and expressed mutual respect. Ending the season early, Nets fans should also understand that it was unwise to laugh at the Los Angeles Lakers who did not make the playoffs. The Nets are now also in the Lakers' footsteps, quite fifty steps of laughter and a hundred steps.
