Celtics 116-112 Nets
After the last game, Durant said he thought too much, and today he scored 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting in the first half, right?
The first few games of the Nets outside the line is slightly embarrassing, this game curry outside the 9 of 5, the whole team shot the most 13 three-pointers in the series, not bad, right?
In the last game, the Nets did not have a home whistle, this game the referee took the Green Army to death, and Tatum directly 6 fouls were sent off, enough to give face, right?
What's the use? Give you a chance you won't be useful!
Durant's last three-pointer and his two free throws at key moments are like a microcosm of the Nets' season, and throughout the season, their personnel are in and out, no matter when they are always singles first.
Before conceding his 11th goal, Durant was 10 of 10 free throws, just as the Nets looked ok this season — the Nets only lost 20 points in the 4-game series, but when it came to a critical moment, either a little worse here or a little bit worse there, and the final presentation was a mess.
The Nets are over the season and they're the only team in the playoffs to be swept, and from that point of view, no team in the top half really wants to meet them, after all, resting too long can easily affect the second round of competitive status.
Although the season is over, the Nets still have a lot to do: Will Irving renew his contract? What about Simmons? Is Nash going to move?
If the Nets have been beaten like this, there is no need for someone to be responsible, there is no determination not to break, And Durant is still just a "I just play" look, it proves that this team has no possibility of winning the championship.
Because the logic of their team is not to compete for the championship, but nepotism, have fun, everything for themselves, such a team if they win the championship is unfair to other teams.
Celtics 4-0 Nets!
Raptors 103-88 Philadelphia
Van Jordan played three games in the series, averaging 13.8 points and 6.3 assists per game, shooting 35 percent from the field and 33 percent from three-point range.
If Van Jordan can't help the Raptors on the offensive end, then it will be targeted on the defensive end, so Fan Jordan's injury instead makes Coach Nas make up his mind to swing the front.
The Raptors' starting point is Trent + Barnes + Anunoby + Sika + Birch, Birch played 6 minutes off the field, and then on Achuva, the Raptors completely entered the five-forward lock the emperor's link.
As long as Embiid goes to the low position to get the ball, the Raptors will definitely pinch, at this time it depends on how much support Harden can give the emperor. Sure enough, Deng Ge took out the playoff status, scoring 15 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 turnovers on 4 of 11.
Sure enough, Philadelphia lost. In fact, Harden's state of this round of the series has not been good, a total of 67 shots and 42 iron, averaging 19 points, 4.8 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 3.6 turnovers per game, the data looks OK.
It's just that the first few games can't show Harden because Harris and Maxi are in good shape, and after the state of Harris and Maxi fell in these two games, Harden was embarrassed.
The Raptors' home court is not easy to play, if there is a little whistle bonus, dare not think oh, once dragged into the grab seven...
If, I mean, if I had to pick someone who could be flipped in a 3-0 situation, I would choose Lao Li.
Raptors scored 2-3 Philadelphia!
Lone Ranger 102-77 Jazz
At the Battle of King's Hill, the Jazz were defeated, but at the same time they completed two tributes.
The first was a 77-pointer in the game, a tribute to their opponent Doncic; the second was Mitchell, who scored 9 points on 4-of-15 shooting, paying tribute to the team's small boss Comrade Wade, who does not know whether Wade is willing to give Mitchell a 9 points.
The reason for the Jazz's loss is simple: the offense can't shoot three points, and the defense can't prevent Doncic.
The Jazz offense relies heavily on three-pointers, but they shot 3-of-30 three-pointers this game, setting a new NBA record — shooting just 10 percent from the field with at least 25 three-point shots, an all-time low.
Not to mention the defensive end, no one can play against Doncic, who is on who is pinched. Doncic had 33 points, 13 rebounds and five assists, including 19 points in the third quarter, which was as high as the Jazz's team-wide scores.
In fact, not only Doncic, the Jazz did not defend anyone, Bronson also had 24 points, which is also his fifth consecutive playoff game of 20+, and he has never had more than 2 consecutive 20+ games in the regular season.
Without saying anything, Cuban prepared the banknotes and signed them in the summer.
By the way, Mitchell finally had a strain on his left hamstring, and if the Jazz didn't win without him...
Lone Rangers scored 3-2 Jazz!
Finally, two news breaks:
Morant was named the fastest improving player of the season, and he became the first player in NBA history to win both Best Rookie and Fastest Improvement Awards.
Durant and James missed the playoffs after the first round at the same time for the first time in 17 years.
Thanks for reading it all!
