On May 5, Beijing time, Philadelphia lost two consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference semifinals to 0-2, and their poor performance of three-pointers in two consecutive outside games became an important factor in losing. Philadelphia's 34-year-old marksman Danny Green once again turned "Tielin" in seconds, and he only had a shooting target of 1 in 10 in this game, including 1 of 9 of 3 points from the outside line, only 3 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, and the plus-minus value of -18 was the lowest in the game.
As a sharpshooter who has won three championships in his career, Green has followed the Spurs in 2014, the Raptors in 2019, the Lakers in 2020, and has won the NBA championship three times, and his 3D attributes are widely praised. In this year's playoff journey, Green's playoff three-point shooting has surpassed the old fish Fisher, Flying Man Kobe bryant and JR Smith to rise to the 9th place in the NBA playoff three-point shooting list, and has also broken through the 300 three-point milestone.
It's just that Green's state continues to be unstable, becoming a "soft underbelly" of Philadelphia's current outside line, and he has scored in double figures in 3 of the 6 games in the first round, especially in the last two games, which are 14 points and 12 points, and 4 three-pointers in a single game in two consecutive games, becoming an important firepower point for Philadelphia's outside line.
However, green completely fell into dud mode in the Eastern Conference semifinals, he only had 2 of 6 in the last game, including 1 of 5 outside three points, only 5 points and 4 rebounds, did not give the team much help, and played less than 27 minutes.
Unexpectedly, Green's performance in this game was even more sluggish, and he scored three points on 1 of 3 shots in the first half. In the second half, Green was completely muted, and he did not get any results in the second two quarters of 7,000, resulting in only 23 minutes and 19 seconds in the whole game, a total of only 1 in 10 crosshairs, becoming the worst of Philadelphia's players who appeared for more than 10 minutes, except for Sebel, after all, Selbu shot 0 shots in the whole game.
When Green delivered 1-of-10 shooting performances, especially 1 of 9 from three points, he was 3 of 16 of the two Games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, especially 2 of 14 from three-point range, which has become a serious drag. With 0-2 behind, Coach Rivers may have to make a lineup change and try to replace the in-form Green starter with Colkmaz or Niang.
