20 points in two games! 20 of 100 three-pointers! The defending champion shows his true form, and the double-Tanhua wants to change his fate against the will of heaven

The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the eastern and western semi-finals are exciting. The specific situation is: Thunder 1-1 Nuggets, Warriors 1-1 Timberwolves, Cavaliers 0-2 Pacers, and Celtics 0-2 Knicks. The Thunders equalized the series with a 43-point victory, showing the resilience of the league No. 1; the Warriors led 1-0 but had hidden dangers, Curry suffered a first-degree strain on his left hamstring and had to miss at least three consecutive games; the Cavaliers lost two home games in a row, and they were mostly intact. The poor luck + injuries were mostly original sin! The most surprising thing is the Celtics. As the defending champion, they have suffered major reversals at home continuously, and their path to defending may be dug up at any time. Rather than saying that the Knicks are too strong, the Celtics themselves have too many problems.

Reversal of 20 points in two games, the Celtics's path to defending can be described as "one move to eat all over the sky", with a crazy and waving plus Buddhist! During the regular season, the Celtics averaged 48.2 three-pointers per game, 17.8 three-pointers per game, and both shooting percentages hit NBA record highs. The Celtics achieved a record of 61 wins and 21 losses with unparalleled three-point firepower, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, which is also the third best record in the league, second only to the Cavaliers (64 wins and 18 losses) and the Thunder (68 wins and 14 losses). In the eyes of many people, the Celtics do not have a star to play at the MVP level, and they even try to play, which is actually accumulating strength for the playoffs!

In the first round of the playoffs, the Celtics' offense was full of conditions, but the Magic's offense was hard to describe. The Celtics' 4-1 gentleman swept the opponent, but he was completely unaware that the danger was quietly coming! In the second round, facing the New York Knicks, the Celtics were still the original player, but they were repeatedly killed by their opponents! In the series G1, the two teams won and lost the winner until overtime. The Celtics lost the good game while leading by 20 points and suffered a 20-point reversal; in the series G2, the Celtics established a huge lead of 20 points twice, but collapsed again in the final quarter and suffered a 20-point reversal! Meanwhile, the Celtics set a record of shame. According to statistics, the Celtics is the first team in NBA history to be reversed by 20 points in two consecutive games, unprecedented! As the defending champion, why were the Celtics so humiliated by the Knicks?

20 of 100 three-pointers, and the defending champion has come true. First of all, we must admit that the defending champion is by no means a soft persimmon. The five-for-one playing method is still very popular, the offense and defense system is also complete, and the combat experience is extremely rich. This is also the key to their ability to establish a huge 20-point lead in a row when facing the Knicks. At the same time, the Celtics can conquer more people who are good at fighting. Compared to Thibodeau's starting five tigers, there are also elite soldiers and generals such as Prichard, Horford, Connett, and Hauser on the bench. But it is undeniable that whether the Celtics start or substitute, their core style of play is still extremely dependent on shooting, but the three-pointer is a double-edged sword. The Celtics succeed and lose three-pointers, and once they fail to make a three-pointer, they will completely reveal their true colors! In the series G1, the Celtics made only 15 of 60 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of only 25%, and the number of three-pointers hit a record high in the NBA playoffs, and 45 hits were also a record high in the NBA playoffs; in the series G2, the Celtics kept a little outside the three-point line, with only 10 of 40 shots, with a shooting percentage of 25%. However, in the fourth quarter, when the Knicks counterattacked, the Celtics made another mistake outside the three-point line, with only 2 of 11 shots in a single quarter. In two games, 20 of 100 three-pointers were shot, who could take it? At the same time, the old Horford and the sick Boss were in poor condition and could not withstand the impact of the Knicks' Five Donkeys. More importantly, the Celtics' ability to handle balls at critical moments is still not trustworthy - Bridges G1 steals Brown to win, and G2 steals Tatum to win in the air, which contrasts the hesitation of the Double Tenhua! Thibodeau can find Brunson if he is not sure about things, but Mazula can only rely on three-pointers if he is not sure about things. This is really a great sadness!

The Celtics have no way out. Shuang Tanhua wants to go against the will of heaven and change their fate

0-2 behind is not the end of the world, but the Celtics have no way out! According to statistics, the final record of the series that fell 0-2 in NBA history was 34 wins and 429 losses; the final record of the series that fell 0-2 at home in the playoffs was 5 wins and 38 losses! In another statistics, the final record of the series that was 0-3 behind in NBA history was 0 wins and 154 losses! In other words, G3 is the life-and-death battle of the Celtics. If they win a game back, their road to defending will be ended by their opponents at any time! For the Celtics, they need to quickly regain their three-point touch, and they must be ashamed and brave enough to stand up and change their fate, especially at the decisive moment, and they cannot lose their chains anymore! Brown said about the next series: If I were to choose someone to complete a 0-2 comeback, it would be the team in our locker room! Fans, do you think the Celtics can reverse this series? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
