I couldn t help but shoot 3 points! The Celtics fought against the Knicks, Tatum made 1 of 6 shots, and Towns scored 12 points!

On May 8, the NBA playoffs continued, and the Celtics played against the Knicks at home. Originally, after the Celtics lost this game at home, it was surprising, but now, the teams entering the second round of the playoffs all lost at home, which also shows that the rest time is too long and it is not a good thing. Then this game is a game where we truly see the Celtics and have real strength. So there will be no surprises in this game, right? In the whole game, the Celtics came up and scored 7:2, and then quickly widened the gap to more than 10 points, but they started to shoot 3 points in the second quarter, and the gap was constantly narrowed by the Knicks. Let's take a look at the game situation and the performance of the players.

1. Game Preview

The first match between the two sides was not so much that the Knicks defeated the Celtics, but they were defeated by themselves. The Celtics established a 16-point lead in the first half, but then they continued to shoot 3 points, and even scored 60 3 points in the whole game, but only scored 15, with a shooting percentage of only 25%. The two leading stars Tatum and Jaylen Brown even scored 25, only 5. It would be strange if they didn't lose. Just look at this game, are they still obsessed with shooting 3 points?

3. Game situation

At the beginning of the game, Anunobi came up and got a 3-pointer, Holiday scored two points, and then scored another goal. He was stunned.

Soon, the Celtics once again widened the score difference to 10 points. At the end of the half, the Celtics led by 9 points 50:41.

4. Player performance

Downs performed very well today. After coming up, he scored 2 goals in a row at the basket, showing his height advantage and his shooting percentage was also very high, but the Knicks played too little for him and the output was not enough. He scored 4 points and 5 rebounds in the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, I had already scored 12 points after playing for a short time.

Brunson felt cold after coming up today, and he didn't score in the first 4 goals. His performance today was very similar to the previous game. In the last game, he also played a mess in the first half.

Holiday performed very well today. After coming up, he did not shoot 3 points, broke through continuously, and scored the team's first 4 points. It seems that his injuries recovered well and his physical condition is very good.

White performed very well today. He scored 8 points in the first quarter and made all 2 3-pointers. Now it seems that he is the most stable player in the Celtics and the coldest-blooded player.

After Jaylen Brown came up today, he also played the mid-range that he was best at, hitting 2 consecutive jump shots and scoring 4 points in a row, helping the team and widening the gap to nearly 10 points.

Tatum is really worthy of being a disciple of Mamba. Finally, he knows why he likes Kobe very much. It turns out that his biggest characteristic is that he is a blacksmith. However, if you make a blacksmith, you must have a reason and you cannot make a blacksmith for no reason. So you call yourself a disciple of Mamba, so there is no problem. You can fight at will. Today's game started with 1 of 6 shots, scored 0 points and 6 rebounds in the first quarter.

5. Team comments

Today, the Celtics learned from the lessons learned from the last game. At the beginning of the game, they adopted the most stable style of play. They all played at the basket for the first five and six attacks. Holiday made 2 in a row and Jaylen Brown made 2 in a row. Through this stable offensive method and extremely strong defensive ability, the Celtics finally showed their strong strength. There is no way. There are only two players with the Knicks with independent offensive ability, one is Towns and the other is Brunson. However, the Celtics started 5 people, and basically have independent offensive ability, which is incomparable. But the Knicks did not say that they did not have a chance. As long as the Celtics shot 3 more points, the Knicks had a chance. Just like in today's game, the first quarter was fine, but the Celtics couldn't help but shoot 3 points in the second quarter, and the Knicks kept narrowing the gap.

can't help but shoot 3 points! The Celtics fought against the Knicks, Tatum made 1 of 6 shots, and Towns scored 12 points!
