The first round was swept miserably, this is the first time in durant and Irving's career, quite embarrassing, this battle Durant tried his best to get 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists on 13 of 31 shots, the last 7 seconds of regular season time, the Green Army led by 6 points, the result of Smart let Durant three-point shot, Death was mercilessly mocked by the opponent, sighing. No way, teammates do not give strength, even Durant is difficult to support, this campaign Irving played is the best game in the past three games, 6 of 13 shots to score 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Although Cescuari scored 23 points, but the defensive end was infinitely targeted, he was a key to the team's loss, Clarkston got 11 free throws in this campaign, only 1 goal was missed, and he also became the first player since Chamberlain to shoot 1 of 11. It is worth mentioning that Durant and James both missed the second round of the playoffs and for the first time in nearly 17 years, the times have changed, and this season's Nets have played like this to be honest, no one expected.
Nash was interviewed after the game, he said: "The hardest part now is that you love these guys very much, but have to say goodbye, we worked hard here, I'm proud of this group of guys, in the early part of the season we can completely go a different way," from Nash's mouth is not difficult to hear his unwillingness, it is true that his coaching ability is not good, but the Nets do have better opportunities this season, they suffered from Irving's home absence, Durant's injury, and Harden's departure, and the three cores have problems. It's good to be able to make the playoffs.
In the face of the Nets being swept away, as a result, many celebrities stood up and ridiculed, the big baby Perkins actually began to sweep the floor when he was a guest program commentator, which means to sweep, Pierce issued a show of hands, and the two Green Army celebrities were a bit murderous. And the Celtic official push is also tough enough, directly speaking: "Do you still want to fight the Celtics?" "The first round sweep of the opponent is also the eighth time in the history of the Celtics, but sweeping the Nets, the Celtics averaged only 4.5 points per game, in fact, this also shows that the gap between the two sides is not as obvious as the sweeping seems, which is also the third smallest point difference in history.
In fact, the strength of the opponent can only be given a more reasonable evaluation by the player, Tatum said: "Such a score does not explain the strength of the Nets, they are a very talented team, we all know Durant's strength, we are trying to make it difficult for him to play every game, we are just everyone is seriously executing the game plan." "This campaign Tatum scored 29 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, a total of 118 points in the first round, and also set a new scoring record when the opponent swept, and the cornerstone of the Green Army is very good.

Speaking about the team in an interview after the game, Dragic said: "The Nets have different difficulties every day, we are not close on the court at all, and every day I play here will have different things. After being asked about the contract extension, Dragic said that he had no idea for the time being, because his mind had not yet calmed down, and tactfully refused to answer, and Dragic's words were estimated to mean that There were too many trifles off the field, either refusing the vaccine or Ramadan.
