Before the playoffs began, absolutely no one expected that the Green Army's series with the Nets would become 0:3, and the Nets were still behind.
The Nets have really not performed well this season, because of too many injuries, Harden left, resulting in the Nets finally only taking the 7th place in the regular season and locking in the 7th place by playoffs, which made them usher in the Green Army in the first round.
The Nets met the Green Army, in fact, it was signed, compared to the Bucks, 76ers, the Green Army is actually better to deal with! And the Green Army and the Nets are also old enemies, last season the 2 teams met in the playoffs, and the Nets were in front of the green army, the big score 4:1 eliminated the opponent to advance! Although the Nets do not have Harden this season, Durant and Irving are still there, and they have more advantages in the quality of their stars and have a greater chance of promotion.
Judging from the regular season and previous records, it is true that Irving and Durant's curry position and playoff experience are definitely far superior to Tatum and Brown, but unfortunately, this round of the series, it is Durant and Irving who are broken.
Tatum scored 31 points, 19 points, 39 points in the first three games, and also delivered a total of 24 assists, not only offensively strong, organizationally first-class, coupled with strong personal defensive ability, is completely the level of a first-class superstar! On the other hand, Durant scored 23 points, 27 points and 16 points in 3 games, the shooting rate was not high, and in the second half, he was suppressed by the Green Army, not to mention that death came, it was completely death without a sickle, and was taught a harsh lesson by Tatum.
Durant is gone, and Owen! Unfortunately, the partial European immortals entered ramadan again, in addition to the first game to cut 39 points, the other 2 games were 10 points, 16 points, completely lost the sound, but also made the Nets completely without arrow figures, resulting in a 0:3 behind, only one step away from the game.
Durant and Irving are in bad shape, and the Nets have another bad news in G4: Simmons G4 is no longer coming back! Previously, the Nets reported that Simmons would make a comeback in G4, and although they knew that he would not play too much role, it provided a glimmer of thought to The Nets fans!
But who would have thought that when G4 was about to start, Simmons was sure that G4 would no longer play! The decision is not known whether it was Simmons, or the Decision of the Nets executives and coaches, but Simmons became the object of ridicule, became a deserter, and forced the Nets into a desperate situation.
Without Simmons, the Nets have a lower probability of winning, and they are no longer thinking about turning the tables, but how to win a game and save their faces a little! But under pressure, the Nets were even more lost, missing the opening attack, and were soon pulled away by the Green Army in a double-digit lead! In the moment of crisis, Durant stood up, used his personal ability to frequently score points, and led the team to play 8:0 to reduce the score to tie.
Durant found his form, but unfortunately the other players are still in the doldrums! Clarkston's free throws are very poor, Irving is completely like he has not eaten enough, the attack is not deterred, although Curry Jr. is in good shape, but he provides Durant with limited help!
On the other hand, the Green Army, Tatum, Brown, Smart, Horford blossomed everywhere, the Green Army re-opened the point difference in the second half, although in the end Durant magically scored consecutive points, but did not change his life, and finally the Nets lost to the Green Army 112:116, and the big score was swept out 0:4.
The Nets are out, or 0:4 out, which is also another joke after the Lakers this season, the biggest championship favorite can not pass the first round, but also swept, the Nets were completely torn off the veil of the pseudo-strong team.
The Nets are out, but also let the fans for the deserter Simmons is very disgusted, the US media is more directly mocking, Simmons in this round of the series got 0 points, 0 boards, 0 assists 0 blocks 0 hats.
Durant tried his best in this game, scoring 39 points in the life and death battle, and also reproduced his superstar nature! Unfortunately, Durant has too few helpers around him, no one to score, no one to organize, no one to defend, and he is more like a loner at the Nets, unable to save the team.
The Nets are out, and the next thing the Nets are facing may be a big change!
Weak management, resigned to the players, without their own ability to think, to continue?
Irving is about to face a contract extension and says he won't go anywhere but the Nets, but will the Nets continue to sign him?
And Nash, except for the Dead Grass Superstar, there is no characteristic in coaching ability, will such a head coach still be retained?
Finally, Durant has always been the role of an old good man, but if he can't be tougher off the court and take on the responsibility of leadership, the Nets are really just his retirement place, and winning the championship is basically impossible.
