On April 26, Beijing time, when Durant was swept through the playoffs for the first time in his career, he was criticized by the outside world, after all, his performance in this series was extremely sluggish. Pierce even forwarded netizens to spoof the picture of Durant P's son of Tatum, and Durant admitted that the Green Army was the better side after the game, but also said that he did not regret a series of "bad things" that happened to the Nets this season.
In last season's Eastern Conference semifinals, Durant almost played a series of gods, even if he finally won the championship because of the big one in the seven-game battle, he did not have the opportunity to send the final champion Bucks home, but he almost single-handedly fought against the team in the case of Harden and Irving's successive injuries, which also made Durant basically recognized by the outside world as replacing James as the "first person in the league".
Only this season's Durant regular season performance is still heroic, but after experiencing injuries and many changes in the team, he is also unable to lead the team directly to the playoffs, and defeat the Cavaliers through the playoffs to advance to the playoffs. Now in the first round of the playoffs, Durant's Nets were swept away by the Celtics 4-0 revenge, Durant only averaged 6.3 points per game in this round of games, including 38.6% shooting, 33.3% from outside the three-point shooting rate, especially the average of 5.3 turnovers per game (a total of 21 errors) is unsatisfactory.
After the game, Green Army star Pierce forwarded a P-chart, that is, Durant was P as Tatum's son, and the original picture was that Tatum was with his son, which was undoubtedly a bit disrespectful. It is worth mentioning that after the last game, Pierce once tweeted a question, "Has Tatum surpassed Durant?" ”
In response to this season's humiliating exit, Durant first affirmed the strength of the opponent after the game, "The Celtics are indeed the better side, they play the best defense in the league." ”
Durant further said, "We see a lot of good players in this league, and if we want to respond, we need to do a lot of work, and I will continue to go back to the training ground and continue to work." ”
Durant also said that he does not regret the disturbances of this season, "I do not regret this season, many bad things have happened, and everything cannot be changed." It's an end that makes us progress and the future better. ”
