The NBA playoffs continue, the Nets host the Celtics, the Nets trail 3-0 before the game, it's a win-or-go game, Durant and Irving have no way out, they have to play a dominant performance to beat the outside world doubts. In the first quarter, the Celtics rebounded, playing a 10-0 small climax in the second half to open the point difference, and in the second quarter, after the Green Army took advantage of the victory to chase a wave of 15-6 attacks, the point difference opened to two positions, the Nets did not want to show weakness to blast out 8-0, and then the Celtics opened the outside line, hit three-pointers in succession, and the first half of the battle ended, the Nets trailed by 8 points, and there was a great potential to be swept. In the third quarter, the Nets stepped up the offense, but whenever the score was approached, the Celtics had someone to stand up, Brown led the team to a 12-point lead, in the fourth quarter, Durant let go of a fight, played very actively, at the end of the quarter to chase the point difference to 1 point, but everything was in the hands of the Sui Army, Bron and Horford hit key shots one after another, the difference was pulled apart, and in the end, the Nets lost to the Green Army and was swept away.
After the game, the Nets became the only team to be swept in the first round of the playoffs, and Durant also set an embarrassing record, being swept out of the first round of his career by an opponent, and although he had 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, he still could not lead the team to a victory. Surprisingly, as a former teammate, Green did not comfort Durant, but instead sent out a series of embarrassing emojis on Twitter, the real meaning of which is intriguing. As we all know, Green and Durant did not have a good relationship during the Warriors, and he even said in front of Durant: "Before you came, we won the championship." In order to prove his ability to lead the team, Durant resolutely left the Warriors to join the Nets, and from this experience, Green's tweet is more of a mocking meaning. However, this is also an indisputable fact, Durant and Irving have joined forces for 3 seasons, without any achievements, and it is no wonder that others are no one else.
After the Celtics swept the Nets, they also refreshed the number of times the team swept the opponent to 8 times, and the official website of the Green Army also did not shy away from saying that who else wants to play the Celtics? One thing to say, this round of the series, both in terms of players and coaches, the Nets are at a disadvantage, Uduka is a playoff rookie, but he showed the ability that many champions can not do, as Brown said, he is the best head coach, compared to Nash's performance is much worse, he can not find a way to crack the Celtics defense, this is the biggest difference between him and Kidd. Irving's slump has also become an important reason for the Nets' exit, he only averaged 15 points per game in the next three games, and his shooting rate was as low as 37%, which is a few notches different from the excellent Tatum. It is worth mentioning that Irving said that he and Durant will continue to stay with the Nets.
