On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued to play, and the Nets led by Durant and Irving continued to lose to the Green Army and were swept out 4-0, which was the first time that Durant and Irving were swept away in their careers, playing their worst individual playoff performances. After the game, the media from all sides were slamming Durant Irving, while listing some heart-wrenching data.
The first is Durant, and the famous Peirce forwarded a photo of Durant being P's son of Tatum, and the original picture of Tatum with his own biological son. At the same time, Durant's former teammate Green also released a dynamic, he posted 5 laughing and crying expressions, and 4 eyes to watch the expression, undoubtedly corresponding to the end of the Nets being swept away.
There are also US media posted Durant's data against the Green Army in this round, and the data of the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals James against the Green Army, in 2022, the Nets were swept by the Green Army, and the 34-year-old Durant averaged 29.9 points, 6.2 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 5.25 turnovers per game, shooting 28.6% and 33.3% from three-point range. In 2018, the 34-year-old James averaged 34.3 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds per game, shooting 52.2% from the field and 41.1% from three-point range, eventually leading the Cavaliers to a 4-3 victory over the Green Army.
After Durant was mocked, his good brother Irving was not spared, and there were also media records that belonged to Irving, since 2018, Irving's performance in the playoffs after leaving LeBron and the Cavaliers: injured in 2018, lost to the Bucks in the second round in 2019, injured in 2020, injured in 2021, lost to the Bucks in the second round, and swept by the Celtics in 2022. In these 4 years, Irving only reached the divisional final once, and did not play because of injury, and in the remaining 3 years, Irving only played the division semifinals at most, and his team has not been able to achieve the goal of winning the championship.
It is worth mentioning that in the same day's game, Durant and Irving's old teammate Harden lost the same, Harden led Philadelphia home against the Raptors, in the case of Embiid's injury, Harden failed to lead the team to win, personal performance was poor, only 4 of 11 shots in 40 minutes, 15 points, 7 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, plus 5 turnovers, shooting only 36%. In the key battle to win and advance, Harden did not give a reasonable performance, was questioned that he did not have the ability to lead, and the US media Slip Belles taunted Harden: Tonight was originally Harden's game (Embiid was injured), but when the team really needed him, he remained invisible. At present, the series score between Philadelphia and the Raptors is chased to 3-2, and the 6th game is played at the home of the Raptors, and Philadelphia may be reversed!
Competitive sports, losing is the original sin, Durant Irving or Harden, these three difficult brothers, losing makes them in the center of public opinion, criticized and controversial, and the way to eliminate all this is to win, to win those games that should be won, the criticism of the ridicule will naturally dissipate!
