On April 26, Beijing time, the first round of the playoffs G4, the Nets lost to the Celtics 112-116 at home, and were swept out 0-4. Compared with the top stars such as KD and Irving, the veterans in the Nets are obviously more sad. Take Aldridge, Griffin and Dragic, for example.
Before the season, the Nets were the league's biggest favorite to win the championship. Many players have chosen to run to the Nets, hoping to realize their championship dreams here. Nowadays, the Nets regret to stop in the first round, and these dream-chasing veterans can only accept the fact that their dreams are shattered.
Among this group of veterans, the most regrettable person should be Dragic. During the season, the 35-year-old Dragic was bought out by the Raptors, and then he was chased by a group of strong teams in the league. But under Nash's lobbying, Dragic chose to join the Nets. How wrong was his choice, as it turned out?
In the past 4 games, Dragic's play has been very stable. In addition to the G3's zero score, the other three games scored 14, 18 and 10 points respectively. Dragic averaged more than 10 points per game in the playoffs and shot 56 percent from the field. He's the most consistent scorer on the Nets bench, not one of them.
Dragic has tried his best, but his play alone is clearly unable to fight against the Celtics. In the end, the Nets lost 4-0 to the Green Army, and were swept out in the first round of the playoffs. After the game, Radzic was interviewed. Speaking about his future, Dragic said he doesn't want to talk about the free agent market yet.
"It's hard to talk about that right now. My head is still hot and I don't want to make any decisions right now. Because I'm so angry right now, I need some time to deal with these things. I love playing. I want to play for another two or three years. ”
Dragic's attitude is already very clear. On the night of the team's 4-0 exit, he didn't want to discuss his future. But one thing is for sure, the 35-year-old Dragic does not want to retire yet, and he will continue to work in the league. However, he will not necessarily stay with the Nets next season.
