FMVP turns the tide, 26+8+12 savior! Tatum is out of battle with White Emperor and goes wild, and the Celtics wins to continue their life

In the NBA regular season stage this season, the two Eastern Conference champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics performed bravely, locked in the top two early, advanced to the playoffs together, and became popular teams to participate in the division finals in the eyes of many fans. After successfully passing the first round, their performance in the second round surprised the fans. The first Cavaliers in the regular season were eliminated by the Pacers, and the Celtics also fell into a desperate situation of 1-3 in the finals after the first four games.

On this match day, the defending champion returned to his home court, North Shore Garden Arena, ushering in a life-and-death battle. In this game, Jaylen Brown showed the dominance of the most valuable player in the finals, leading the Celtics to perform very well on both offense and defense, and finally helped the team defend their home court 127-102, chasing the big score to 2-3.

As the defending champion of the league, the Celtics, who retained all the core lineups, have undoubtedly disappointed fans in the playoffs this season. Facing the New York Knicks, who were placed under his feet four times in the regular season, the Celtics were reversed many times in this round of series, and in the last game, they also paid the price of core Tatum leaving the court with serious injury.

After the post-match review, Tatum confirmed that the Achilles tendon had ruptured and had successfully undergone surgery. He would miss the Celtics' next game. He was deeply trapped in desperate situations and was seriously injured by the absolute core, which made the Celtics' prospect of turning the tables not optimistic.

With Tatum's absence, Jaylen Brown, the most valuable player in the finals, stepped forward and became the absolute technical and tactical core of the Celtics in this game. With the Knicks' strict defense, Jaylen Brown scored and organized the game. With 17 shots and 9 goals, he contributed comprehensive personal data of 26 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists and 1 steal.

In order to maintain the suspense of the series, other Celtics players also performed very well, making up for the vacancy left by Tatum's absence to the greatest extent. White White's three-pointers were hot in this game, and he scored 7 three-pointers and scored 34 points. Connet, who came on the bench, had a strong presence on both ends of offense and defense, handed over 10+9+7 blocks, making great contributions to the Celtics defending their home court.

Knicks were able to perform a major reversal in a row, and the two core players Towns and Brunson made an indelible contribution, but in this game, they were lost in the North Shore Garden Arena. No. 1 pick, Towns, was troubled by fouls. He did not play much in this game, and his efficiency was very low. He only made 5 goals with 11 shots and scored only 19 points.

Although Brunson contributed 22 points and 6 assists, his shooting percentage was not high. After four quarters, he only made 7 of 17 shots, and his personal performance and dominance were far from comparable to those of the previous games. Although the all-round fighter Hart performed well and scored 24 points, the dual cores could not be opened, which made the Knicks accept the ending of defeating Boston.

After this game, the two teams will get a day off and will then return to Madison Square Garden in New York to fight the sixth life-and-death battle. If the Celtics can continue this state of being a soldier and defeat the Knicks away, they will be able to tie the score. At that time, the Knicks will be under great psychological pressure, which will make the tie-break final battle full of suspense.
