The Nets were swept away to stop in the first round.
After the game, Irving said of the Nets career: "On the question of where to go, I would say that I will only stay here with the No. 7 and build a good team. I'm going to renew my contract with the Nets and manage the team with Joe and Sheehan. (The Joe mentioned here should be Boss Tsai's English name Joe, and Sheehan is Sheehan-Max, the president of Nets operations.)
The Nets were eliminated, and for the first time in nearly 17 years, Jandu failed to make it to the second round.
Nash was scolded on the hot search, and the Nets set n shameful records,
However, these are not as intuitive as looking back directly at the last minute.
What are the Nets best at? Drag the game to a critical moment, hand the ball to the two big brothers of the team, stand up and single, and celebrate the kill.
And today? The Nets did drag on to a critical moment, and indeed had a chance to turn the tables.
In the final minute, the Nets trailed by three points, and Tatum, one of the Green Army's double cores, left the field six times early and did not even stand on the court.
Next, it's time for a super show.
The script gave Adu a total of five chances:
Durant holds the ball in a dragon, shoots three points, hits iron;
Durant dribbled the ball and tried to cross the half, encountering a tough confrontation from Smart, almost dropping the ball, and then the referee whistled and blew Smart for fouling;
Durant went up the free throw line, and the key second penalty was deflected;
Durant arced to receive Dragic's pass, dry three-point shot, hit the iron;
Durant then took the sideline ball, met Smart confidently shot, the ball scored,
It was also the Nets' last goal of the season, but alas, it was too late.
In the final moments, there were too many players on the Nets who could take on key shooting tasks: Curry Jr., who was 9 of 13, gave the Nets the most firepower in the third and fourth quarters of the game;
Dragic, 4 of 6, even scored eight points in the last quarter, many fans should also have an impression; even Mills, Irving, although they played average today, but in terms of shooting key balls, they can also be regarded as the number one person.
And Adu chose the simplest method, standing stick singles.
As a superstar, there is nothing wrong with this choice, either to score goals and save the world, or to play iron and lose every game.
Durant used to play the former, but today, he has become the latter.
Of course, throughout his performance in this game, 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, compared with the previous games, it has been greatly improved, without his 39 points, the Nets may not be able to last.
Regarding Durant, we have said too many words of praise and criticism, and in this game, the skill king does not make evaluations, believing that the brothers have their own opinions in their hearts.
Speaking of the two sides, the Nets were swept and became the only team to be swept in the first round this season.
I can't imagine that a team whose mission is to compete for the championship should leave in such a humiliating way.
They put up stubborn resistance, but unfortunately the resistance was ineffective.
In the face of the green army with tight defense and full execution, the Nets are more like a straggler, this hit twice, that also hit twice.
With their individual ability, they can score the fairy ball, and in turn, the opponent can easily score in the face of their paper-like defense.
Not to mention that whenever the Nets are going to win, there is always a player who can stand up and drag his teammates back, which we usually call spies or spies.
For example, today's man who is comparable to O'Neill, Clarkston.
With 0 of 10 free throws, the elder brother successfully broke O'Neal's 8-iron consecutive shooting record in the 2006 playoffs, becoming the NBA's historical free throw consecutive iron king.
Breaking the record is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that the next player to break his record is already in the squad.
Think about it, next season Simmons and Zhao Si standing on the field at the same time, what a magnificent scene it will be.
The Big Three of the Nets, which once gave us unlimited beautiful fantasies, have come to an end.
Deng Ge will continue his journey, and Boss Cai will continue to clean up this mess.
Years later, when we think back to the Nets Big Three, what do we think?
Maybe it can be summed up in one word: "if".
How nice it would have been if Douaha wasn't injured, how nice it would have been if Adu hadn't gone down so quickly, if Irving and Simmons had been a little more normal, if Nash's coaching level had been stronger.
In the end, the Nets lost 112-116 to the Green Army at home, and were eliminated 0-4.
