Celtics team is inferior to one? Brunson s interpretation of what is the real reputation

The Celtics have rich defensive resources. The backcourt combination of Zhu Holiday and Derek White will cause headaches for most defenders, plus the forward line between Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Therefore, Jaylen Brunson, as the core ball holder of the Knicks, overall shooting percentage is less than 40% in two consecutive games. You should know that in the first round, Brunson only had one of the six games, the overall shooting percentage was less than 40%.

However, this does not affect the Knicks' two consecutive home games to defeat the Celtics, and they are both reversals of more than 20 points. Carl Anthony Towns, OG Anunobi, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and others all performed well, but at the critical moment, the Knicks still have to look at Brunson's performance. As a new key player in the league, Brunson experienced 28 games in the regular season with critical moments (the score difference was no more than five points in the last five minutes of the game), and achieved 17 wins and 11 losses. He could score 5.6 points at critical moments, shooting percentage of 51.5%, shooting percentage of 3-pointers was 29.4%, and shooting percentage of free throws was 84%.

Brunson is not the player with the most critical games in the regular season, but he can take into account both scoring, winning and shooting. This seems to be a way for the Knicks to win. Tom Thibodeau is an iron-blooded coach. What the Knicks are best at is to bite the opponent on the defensive end and then win at the last moment. In the playoffs, this situation is particularly prominent. In the eight games that have ended, the Knicks have experienced critical moments in seven games, which means that the Knicks have been entangled with the opponent until the end in almost every game, and most of the time they can laugh to the end, achieving 5 wins and 2 losses in seven games.

As a key player in the regular season, Brunson still had no mercy in the playoffs, averaging 5.9 points per game at critical moments, shooting percentage of 40.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 78.6%. His scoring increased slightly, but his efficiency declined, but in the playoffs where offense and defense are more targeted, Brunson's performance is already quite good. In the two games with the Celtics, Brunson made his opponent desperate. It can be said that the entire Celtics team is not as good as Brunson alone.

In the past two games, Brunson scored a total of 14 points at critical moments, making 4 of 11 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. Although the efficiency is a bit bad, Brunson can help the team win. The Knicks ranked second in the scoring at the critical moment with Anunobi's 6 points, less than half of Brunson's. Faced with the Celtics' rich defensive resources, Brunson was amazing enough to perform like this. If you look at the entire Celtic team, it's hard to describe it. In the past two games, the Celtics team scored 12 points at critical moments, making 3 of 20 shots, including 1 of 9 three-pointers, and their performance was not as good as Brunson alone.

Tatum scored 6 points on 1 of 7 shots, White scored 3 points on 1 of 4 shots, Holiday scored 2 points on 1 of 4 shots, and Brown scored 1 point on 0 of 5 shots. The Celtics' proud double-Tanhua and double-guns in the backcourt combined to defeat Brunson alone. In terms of physical talent, Brunson is not ranked in the entire league, but this little man wrote the myth with his skills and perseverance, interpreting the true reputation of the key teacher in the regular season.
