In today's NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G2, the Knicks completed a 20-point comeback again with 91-90, becoming the first team in the past 25 years to fall behind 20+ away games behind in the playoffs for two consecutive games.
The Celtics only scored 13 points in the first quarter with defense, leading by 9 points in half, and once widened the 20-point gap in the third quarter, but the old script of collapsed in the final quarter was staged again - in the last two games, the Celtics made a total of 11 of 58 shots (19% shooting percentage) and 5 of 29 three-pointers (17%), which can be called a "suicide offense."
The Celtics scored a total of 60 three-pointers in the last game, but lost 45 shots and shot only 25%. After the game, many players said they could not shoot too many three-pointers.
The Celtics did reduce three-point shots in this game, and only made 40 shots in total, but the efficiency is still so inefficient. They only made 10 three-pointers in the game, and their shooting percentage is still 25%.
In the past two games, the Celtics made 25 of 100 three-pointers (25%). What's more ironic is that the Celtics' first in the league in the regular season three-point shooting percentage this season (40.2%), and their blind superstition of the outside shooting tactics was angrily criticized by the US media for "no adjustment ability."
data shows that when the three-point shooting percentage is less than 30%, the Celtics' winning percentage this season is only 12%, but they shot 40 three-pointers in G2, which is a "suicide offense."
Double Titanhua was lost again. Brown carried the whole game in the first half, scoring 17 points, helping the team hold the lead. He thought he would win a big victory, but he didn't expect that he was completely out of the way in the second half. Brown only scored 3 points in the second half, and made a total of 0 of 4 shots in the last quarter + 6 mistakes.
Tatum is different. He was lost in the whole game. He made 5 of 19 shots in this game, scoring only 13 points and 14 rebounds. Although he scored 4 points in a row in the last quarter, his fatal mistake at the last moment (the winning goal was blocked by Bridges) was completely ruined. Tatum made 12 of 42 shots in the second round, with a shooting percentage of 28.6%.
According to statistics, the total plus and negative value of double-Tanhua in the last quarter was -23, which became the core reason for the defeat of the Celtics.
The Knicks' victory was a collective carnival for the "grassroots heroes":
Brunson: scored 9 points in the last quarter, and scored 14 points in the critical moment of the series (within 5 points in the last 5 minutes), exceeding the total of the Celtics team (12 points), interpreting the value of the leader with the "big heart";
Downs: scored 8 points in a row in the second quarter and bit the score difference, laying the foundation for overtaking in the last quarter, 21 points and 17 rebounds in the game, showing the dominance of the inside;
Bridges: 0 of 8 in the first three quarters, 14 points + key steals broke out in the last quarter, and two consecutive blockades were blocked and the final score was the "Celtics nemesis".
Knicks' two 20-point reversals were not only a victory in tactical execution, but also a crushing force. Now the top two Cavaliers and the Celtics in the Eastern Conference have both been 0-2 behind. If all the draws are below, it will be a joke.
