On February 16, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In today's Eastern Conference focus game, the Celtics, who have won eight consecutive games, challenged the 76ers on the road. The Green Army had the upper hand from the start of the game, eventually beating the 76ers 135:87 on the road, the longest nine wins of the season, which is also the longest existing winning streak in the league.
The Green Army was able to win today, and the players of the whole team played almost all the best, especially the double probe flower. Tatum played 29 minutes today, shooting 9-of-17, including 4-of-8 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free throw line, for a combined 28 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and two blocks. Jaylen Brown played 29 minutes and shot 10-of-17, including 5-of-7 from three-point range and 4-of-6 from the free throw line, for a combined 29 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Tatum's plus-minus is +34 and Brown's is +32!
Brown was on fire from the start of the game today, with the Green Army scoring 11 of his first 14 points, and he quickly hit outside three-pointers and hit multiple mid-range shots. After entering the second quarter, Brown was even more unstoppable, scoring 15 points on 4-of-4 three-pointers in a single quarter, including a whistle-pressing three-pointer from the front court before the end of the game against the 76ers defenders, which also helped the Green Army lead by 27 points to end the first half.
Tatum didn't threaten in the first quarter, and he only scored five consecutive points with three points and free throws before the end of the quarter. After entering the second quarter, Tatum took over the game, shooting from mid-range, shooting from outside, and grabbing from the basket, scoring 11 points in a single quarter. In the 3rd quarter, Tatum almost single-handedly withstood the 76ers' counterattack, scoring 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 5-of-8 shooting in a single quarter, including in the middle of the 3rd quarter, he single-handedly set off a wave of 8-0 offensive climax, which showed his terrifying scoring ability.
It is worth mentioning that today the two have a lot of data to shame the 76ers. In the first half, Brown scored 26 points and Tatum scored 16 points, combining 42 points and the 76ers tied the team. According to statistics, in the past 11 games, this is the third time that the double tanners have scored more than or equal to the opposing team's full team score, and the 48 points lost in the whole game set the 76ers' biggest score of the season. Tatum and Brown were also rushed to Twitter.
After today's victory, the Green Army's record became 34-25, continuing to approach the upper half of the east. According to the schedule, the Green Army will challenge the Pistons away tomorrow, and they will strive to win 10 consecutive games.
