The Nets are out, and it's a disgraceful out. Durant failed to save the team in the last game, 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Durant is also a good effort, but today in fact, his hand is still very general, the whole game crazy shot 31 times, but only scored 13 sports goals, the Green Army's defense is still not broken. Why can't it be broken? Because the Green Army is so targeted! The strength of Durant in the whole series should not be questioned, the ability is, he is still in the low position or like a divine help, in a good position to receive the ball, the Green Army no one can prevent him, the moment of receiving the ball can be directly pulled back, but this round of the series Green Army in the target of the above durant restrictions to death.
First of all, the Green Army will not let Durant break through, as long as Durant holds the ball outside the three-point line, there will be a pinch attack immediately, even if the single defense of the Green Army will let the larger Tess, Williams and Tatum go to him, do not let Durant burst to the basket to score, put him outside the three-point line. Durant can pull three points, but your accuracy will definitely be affected, and durant is not allowed outside the three-point line in this series. Secondly, the low position as far as possible to limit Durant, Durant this round of playoffs in fact as long as you can receive a good pass at the low post, basically still in a point of no solution, turn over to shoot, indeed can not stop, but the premise is that you have to receive a good pass.
The Green Army defended Durant's low position, which was really a desperate defense, the defender kept giving him physical contact, not allowing Durant to catch the ball easily, putting a lot of pressure on the outside passer, and not letting the outside passer hang the ball to a low position. So this round of the series Durant's low-post dry pull-out is not much, not that he does not want to use it but he wants to use it, but the Green Army's defense of his low-post defense is too good. In the end, there is an infinite pinch, as long as Durant has the possibility of holding the ball and pulling out, the green army is immediately pinching, especially when Durant goes to the bottom line, three people are in front of him, forcing him to shoot with high difficulty, so Durant is very comfortable.
And what is the Green Army? I'd rather Durant pass a few good balls, but I won't let Durant play recklessly. And the Nets' outside line can actually be pulled very open, Curry Jr., Irving, Brown and Mills are very accurate, but the strategy of the Green Army is that these people can put it, the big deal is that you Durant split the ball when I go to block, blocked can be defended, can not block to give him a shot, shoot a few three-pointers does not matter, but you Durant want to play so comfortable. And although Irving can shoot at this point, but there is no need for two people to pack, a Brown can lock him from both ends of the attack and defense, who is the best helper around Durant? It's Clarkston!
The Nets lost this round of playoffs at two points, one is defense, the whole team has no defense at all, the starting five people put three guards, Tatum changed to eat alone without pressure. Another is that the lineup is not very compatible, Brown, Curry Jr., Irving are not ball-holding organizational guards, the Nets do not have a serious organizational guard, Durant can only act as an organizational forward. So the Green Army unlimited pack, not afraid of your outside pitchers are afraid of you Durant goals. And the effect of this Irving is simply not comparable to Curry, Irving will be put in half a position outside the three-point line, to some extent he can not pull the sense of space that Durant needs.
