On April 27, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. In yesterday's Eastern Focus game, the Nets lost 112-116 at home to the Celtics, thus being eliminated by the Celtics by an aggregate score of 0:4, ending the season, and they also became the first-round first-round exits and the only team to be swept.
After the Nets were eliminated, the American media pulled out a time from the Olympics last summer. After winning the gold medal on the U.S., Durant took Australian star Mills in his arms, and the latter had already decided to join the Nets and become teammates with Durant. In the third-place battle, Mills slashed 42 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal on 15-of-31 shooting, and Durant led the United States to beat his opponent in the final to win the gold medal.
Durant said to the camera: I'm looking forward to coming back to Brooklyn! You scored 40 points tonight! You will be a big trouble for the Celts! I'm telling you!
When Durant said this, Celtics star Tatum was next to him, and he simply replied to Durant: "Roll! ”
Meanwhile, as a member of the U.S. coaching team, the current Green Army coach Uduka is also on the team, telling Durant: "We know how to lock up Mills. ”
In this series that just passed, Mills did not become a trouble for the Celtics, as Durant said. Mills averaged just 6.3 points and 1 rebound in those 4 games, with no assists or steals, and his scores in those 4 games were 3 points, 5 points, 12 points and 5 points.
In addition, not only Mills, but Durant himself was locked up by the Green Army. In this series, Durant averaged just 26.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, shooting just 38.6 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range. Tatum, who was in position against him, averaged 29.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game, shooting 46 percent from the field and 41.9 percent from three-point range. Whether it's data or efficiency, Durant is on the back foot.
