Today, the NBA playoffs played four games, in which the Celtics won 116-112 against the Nets, and swept the opponent 4-0. The referee's balance tilted slightly toward the Nets at least in this game, with Tatum being sent off for 6 fouls and 29 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Durant also finished the life-and-death battle on the stand, shooting 13-of-31 and scoring 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.
After this campaign, the Celtics' all-time 2-0 lead in the series became 41 wins and 1 loss, the only time they lost was the Cavaliers who faced James in the 2018 East Finals. That year, the Green Army led the Cavaliers 2-0, and finally James took the lead in a 4-3 reversal, played a full 48 minutes in the seven-game game, hung morris to the basket, and collapsed on the ground after the final whistle, still vividly remembered.
Durant, 33, is not James, 33, and he doesn't have James' ability to lead the team. What's more, the overall strength of Durant's teammates this year is still higher than the strength of James' teammates in 2018.
The 33-year-old James averaged 34 points, 9.1 rebounds, 9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1 block per game in the playoffs, shooting 53.9 percent from the field. 8 times 40+, 1 time 50+, 2 kills.
The 33-year-old Durant averaged 26.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks per game in the playoffs, shooting 38.6%, no 40+, no kills.
In the 2018 East Finals, the total score of 7 games was compared, James ranked first with 235 points, 2-6 were Celtic players, and Love was seventh with 75 points. You have to say that James single-handedly carried the team to the Finals, which is not too much at all.
In fact, in some ways, it is also thanks to Durant. Because we never thought that the greatness of James in 2018 needs Durant 4 years later to set off. Demeaning James for 18 years is nothing more than the Finals being swept by the universe, but ignoring the disparity between the two lineups. In the poster of the Finals that year, the left side did not even put the dream chasing into it, and on the right was James, 37-year-old Korver and TT.
The US media today posted the career record of the stars facing the playoff knockout points, including Jordan 6 wins and 7 losses, Durant 6 wins and 8 losses, Kobe Bryant 9 wins and 10 losses, and James is 14 wins and 11 losses.
Throughout the history of the NBA playoffs, there have been 144 0-3 falls behind, and no team has been able to reverse it so far. Speaking of which, 76ers coach Rivers shivered after they led the Raptors 3-0 and were chased 2-3 by the Raptors today. Rivers is also a master of reversals, coaching teams that have been reversed in playoffs on several occasions.
Back to the point, talk about the recent situation of the Lakers. Today, Westbrook frantically deleted Lakers feeds on Ins, including pictures and videos, leaving only his moments during the Thunder period. However, Wei Shao's head is still related to the Lakers.
When a person starts to get nostalgic, it proves that he is not having a good time now. Some fans joked that Wei Shao was telling the Lakers management that he wanted to be himself when he wanted to be back to the Thunder, you looked at it and did it, and built a new Lakers around me. Many media insiders speculated that Wei Shao's move may be a signal to leave the team.
Westbrook's operation of deleting the dynamic is the same as that of Schroeder last year, schroeder in last offseason, removed the "Lakers point guard" tag in his Ins profile, and later, Schroeder left the Lakers unsurprisingly.
Analyzing the psychology of Wei Shao's deletion of the Lakers' dynamics, is he expressing his disappointment with the Lakers? What will this make management and fans think? Wei Shao has one year left on his contract, has player options, and he can stay with the Lakers with a salary of $47.06 million in the last year, and only if he thinks he no longer belongs here, he will delete the dynamics.
Therefore, Wei Shao will not do this for no reason, maybe his departure has really entered the countdown.
