Original title: Durant Brown's injury is not reduced, and the game is good The Nets are no longer Wu Xia Amon
On January 13, Beijing time, the Nets hosted the challenge of the Eastern Conference leader, the Celtics, and this game is likely to be a preview of the Eastern Conference finals. Unfortunately, the Nets are missing Durant, and the Celtics are missing Jaylen Brown and Horford, and injuries have prevented the two teams from playing in fully healthy form, and it has also presented a new question for both teams - do they have enough roster depth to overcome the problems caused by the absence of core players in the residual situation?
The depth of the Celtics' roster has been recognized as the league's best this season, and the offseason trade for Brogdon has greatly increased the strength of the Green Army's bench, and the Celtics, who lacked Lowe at the beginning of the season, are still firmly at the top of the East, which is enough to show that their roster depth is far more reliable than fans imagined.
When Jaylen Brown and Horford were gone, Lowe and Gwee were put on the starting lineup for a long time, and the Celtics' bench did not collapse, but in addition to Brogdon to support the overall situation, Cornet, who has always been regarded as a mascot by fans, also played a brilliant performance, scoring 11 points and 5 rebounds on 5-of-5 shooting, and keeping the interior of the Green Army's rotation stage from opening the door.
Although Tatum, who lacks Jaylen Brown, was targeted by the Nets, shooting 7 of 22 is a rare performance for Tatum, who has played MVP-level this season, but this does not affect the Celtics' final victory, because it is the depth of the team that ultimately determines the victory, not whether a person's play is online, which is why the Celtics can firmly lead the East.
Although the Nets lost in this Eastern Conference finals preview, fans deserve to be pleased with the Nets' performance because they have shown a completely different resilience, and it is not easy for the Nets to fight the Celtics until the fourth quarter without Durant, thanks to Warren, who scored 20 points on 9-of-18 shooting, and Yuta Watanabe and Curry Jr. contributed during the rotation period.
I wonder if you found out? Once a role player who was sprayed by Nets fans, this game seems to have played a personal style, even Joe Harris, who has always been considered a horizontal cliff slide, also proved that he was not useless with 10 points in a single quarter, 7 of 11 from the field, and a three-point shooting rate of 57.1%.
It's a shame to lose, but the Nets see something positive in this game, and they have the ability to compete with the best teams in the league, even without Durant.
Although fans can't ignore the Nets' continued reliance on the play of stars, it was Irving's mute in the 4th quarter that made the situation passive, and the Nets were taken away by the Green Army, but if the Nets have a healthy Durant, is it completely ready to play?
Although the Celtics lack Brown and Horford, the Nets lack the absolute core of the tactical system, and the gap is self-evident, but the Nets' tactical system has not collapsed, which is definitely a positive sign that they are growing and getting closer to the league's top teams.
This makes people wonder - when Durant returns healthy, this Nets may continue to evolve to the next level, right?
