NBA playoffs G4, the Nets sit at home to meet the Green Army, the two teams of the series from the first game by Tatum after the remaining two, the green army all won a big victory, in the case of a big score of 0-3, the Nets have no way to retreat, Durant, Irving and head coach Nash have given pre-game commitments, to win with all their strength, to avoid sweeping, but this game, the Nets are still suppressed by the Green Army, although Durant tried his best, although the referee blew the penalty with all his might, but still could not stop the Nets' loss, In the end, the Nets lost 112-116 to the Green Army, and the big score was swept out 0-4, which was the first time that Durant and Irving were swept in their careers, and the Nets were so out of the game that fans were dissatisfied.
Durant's 39 points are hard to hide, and Irving's 20 points are efficient but have no ball
Durant and Irving are NBA superstars, they have no way to face the defense of the Green Army, especially Durant, as the absolute core of the Nets, he has a variety of offensive means, the first three games against the Green Army's bag and co-defense, playing very hard, this game before the game, fans and media people are skeptical of Durant. In order to prove himself, but also so that the team is not swept, Durant played nearly 47 minutes, almost the whole game, 31 shots 13 times, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 11 free throws, 39 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal.
Did Durant try his best? Judging from the playing time, I really tried my best, the last 13 games, Durant averaged 42.1 minutes per game, ranking first in the league, as a player who had been seriously injured before, he did fight all, but durant, his shooting was average, did not help the team stabilize the game at key moments, especially in the last moment he missed key penalties, and then was scored by the opponent to get a 4-point lead, the Nets completely lost, Durant became a double-edged sword, took on all the team's offensive shots, and finally ended with such a performance, which made people sigh.
Compared to Durant, Irving also played nearly 45 minutes, 6 of 13 shots, 3-2 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, got 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Irving shot much better than Durant, but the net's tactics in this game are mainly to play Durant, but ignored the existence of Irving, seeing that he has such a high shooting rate and does not get the ball that should be, Nash should reflect on it, in such a critical game, he did not find anyone in good or bad shape, as a head coach is completely incompetent, However, Irving's efficiency did not save the team, he put more energy into the defense in the final quarter, but ignored the offense, resulting in Durant alone.
The two stars have advantages and disadvantages, and the Nets rely too much on the role of stars, causing them to ride the tiger and eventually destroy the luxurious lineup they created with their own hands.
The referee tried his best, but he still couldn't help the Nets
Does the league want the Nets to be eliminated? The answer is definitely no, the Nets, whether it is popularity or star popularity, are much higher than the Green Army, this game referee control is very serious, the Green Army suffered 28 fouls, 5 starters, no four fouls more than 4 times, Tatum was fouled by the blow offensive foul, an opponent fake fell was sent off, Horford grabbed the rebound was blown foul, Tatum 6 fouls left the court in the last quarter, in this case, the Nets still did not resist the pressure, giving you the opportunity to be useless, the final result is that the Nets were swept out by the Green Army.
The Nets became the first team to be swept out in the first round, such a way is something that all fans never expected, compared to last season's 7 games with the Bucks, Durant stood tall and out, this season they can not hide their success, rebuild or regroup, for the Nets management is a big problem.
