After losing G3 at home, the Nets, who are in a desperate 0-3 score in the series, will revive and compete with the Green Army for the first round of G4 in the playoffs.
In terms of the Nets, Durant + Irving is not in good shape, and whether the Nets can win back a city in the big score and retain the suspense of the series will obviously be in a bitter battle.
On the other hand, on the side of the Green Army, Tatum + Jaylen Brown is in the sky, and the team has a match point, whether the Green Army can sweep the Nets in this battle has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game!
However, after 4 quarters of the game, with a wave of 15-6 scoring climax, the green army dominated by the guest, in the first three quarters, it completely suppressed the Nets and occupied the initiative on the court.
Despite the final finale, Durant + Irving + Seth Curry continued to exert their strength, leading the Nets to continuously play counter-attacks, successfully narrowing the score gap and retaining the suspense of the game.
But smart + Jaylen Brown felt hot, Horford hit a key basket, the Green Army established a 4-point lead, and the Nets could not catch up with the points, only to shoot and lose.
In the end, the Green Army, which withstood the pressure, also narrowly defeated the Nets 116-112 on the road, successfully won the G4 at the same time, but also swept the Nets 4-0 in the series, and strongly advanced to the second round!
In this game away from home, the Green Army continued the fiery state of the first three games, playing a team performance of five people scoring in double figures and three people with 20+ to officially eliminate the Nets.
In the case of Horford + Gwee + Derrick White and other main players, each performing their duties, the three core Tatum + Jaylen Brown + Smart play, is particularly critical!
Although Tatum left the game with 6 fouls, he was extremely efficient, shooting 4 three-pointers on 9-of-16 shooting in the first 36 minutes, and bombarding the team's high 29 points, plus 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
Among them, in the third quarter, his heroic performance of cutting 12 points in a single quarter not only helped the Green Army to successfully open the score gap, but also laid a solid foundation for the team to win!
In addition, as a major player on the offensive end of the team, the play of Jaylen Brown in this game also played a crucial role.
Jaylen Brown attacked and defended well, shooting 9-of-20 from the field, delivering an all-round performance of 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, which is the key to the Green Army's ability to suppress the Nets all the time!
Of course, in this game, the Green Army was able to defeat the Nets, sweep the opponent 4-0 to advance to the second round, and the performance of the team's core defender Smart was also indispensable.
Smart started 36 minutes in the game, hitting three three-pointers on 7 of 16 shooting, contributing a double-double of 20 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists.
Not only did he gain something on the offensive end, but he scored 10 points in the final quarter, but also on the organizational end, he successfully connected the attack of the whole team and affected the trend of the game!
On the other hand, on the Nets side, the team reversed the defeat in this game, and finally lost by 4 points, and the performance of the game that was swept out of the game with a big score of 0-4 was obviously difficult for the home fans to accept.
After all, in the case of Durant playing well, cutting 39+7+9+1, and Irving + Seth Curry taking 20+ at the same time, the performance of Clarkston on the bench in this campaign really needs to be examined!
In this game, Although Clarkston was very efficient on the offensive end, he came off the bench for 22 minutes and handed over 13 points, 6 rebounds+ 2 assists + 2 steals + 3 blocks on 6-of-6 shooting.
But rationally speaking, his sluggish performance in only 1 of the 11 free throws in the whole game, at the key moment when the Nets urgently need to chase points, was still slightly pulling his crotch and dragging the team's hind legs!
For the Nets, whose series score was swept 0-4 and missed the second round, although the team has made visible upgrades and transformations to the team lineup this year, there is one thing to say, the Nets' work in this summer's offseason may have just begun!
