In an NBA playoff game today, the Brooklyn Nets, who played at home, were hit by again, losing to the Boston Celtics 103-109 again, and suffered a three-game losing streak in this round of series, and was already behind the opponent 0-3 in the total score, and the team even faced the embarrassing situation of being swept by the opponent.
In the game, Nets' inside player Blake Griffin finally got a long-lost opportunity to play. He played 7 minutes and 52 seconds in the game, made 2 of 4 shots, 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, effectively scoring 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 block. His performance in the game is remarkable. Although he doesn't play much, the vitality he showed in the game, his enthusiasm on both offense and defense, and his attitude and commitment to the game are all visible to the naked eye, which makes people feel awe-inspiring. It is no exaggeration to say that his determination to win this game is much higher than the two top-paid players of the Nets!
This veteran proved that he was fully capable of making a debut in playoff-level games in less than 8 minutes of playing time. But what is speechless is that in the system of Nets head coach Steve Nash, Griffin has no room at all. This game is just Griffin's first appearance in this round of the series, and he didn't play for a second in the previous two games.
In fact, around the All-Star Game, Griffin's playing time became fragmented. He was often thrown on the bench by Nash for no reason in the game. In many games, he even sat on the bench without a chance, and could not even get a chance to play. In order to join the Nets, Griffin gave up a lot of salary, but the Nets treated this veteran who made great sacrifices for the championship with this attitude.
If nothing unexpected happens, we will probably not see Griffin's name in the Nets lineup next season. After seeing Griffin's series of encounters, it is estimated that there will be no veterans who will hold Durant, Irving and Nash's thighs in the future. He is clearly the hardest-working player in the team and the most competitive player in the team, but he is forced to sit on the bench. Is there anything more funny than this?
