Beijing time on March 10, in a game that just ended, the Bulls defeated the weak pistons 114-108, DeRozan bombarded 36 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and now the bulls' situation is that DeRozan does not take the high score the team can not win the ball, although winning the game, but the Bulls do not dare to relax, because now the Celtics are chasing too fiercely, today the Celtics also ushered in the game, they challenged the Hornets.
In the past period of time, the Celtics have won three consecutive games with Tatum's excellent performance, beating the Hawks, Grizzlies and Nets, respectively, facing the weaker Hornets today, the Celtics are not soft, under the leadership of Tatum, they won 115-101 lightly. While winning four consecutive wins, they are now only 0.5 wins away from the Bulls, and some time ago the Celtics were not a play-off level team, resulting in a recent wave of 20-17 wins, and now directly to the fifth place in the division, and this does not seem to be over.
Celtics at the end of the season we have every reason to believe that they can achieve better results, and even threaten the first position in the East, because they do have such strength now, in the past period of time they have faced playoff-level teams have achieved 12 consecutive wins, really indestructible, to be able to achieve such a good result thanks to the team's suffocating defense, This season their defensive efficiency is as high as 105.6 league first, and with the arrival of White, they can also complete the unlimited change of defense, which is very scary.
And the other two aspects, one is Tatum's outbreak, the other is the Celtics to find the former team basketball, today the Celtics team 6 people scored in double figures, Jaylen Brown got 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Smart scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, Horford 10 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Lowe 11 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, White scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, White's scoring stability and organizational ability can be much more reliable than Little Black.
The biggest contributor to today's team winning is Tatum, today Tatum exploded again, 16 of 24 shots, 9 of 6 of three points, 44 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block data, attacking and defending, like a boss. However, this is not the first day of Tatum so violent, against the Nets, Tatum alone scored 54 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, so far he has become the first player to win 50+ multiple times this season, and the previous game against the Grizzlies had 37 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
So playing Tatum is to impact the best of the month, the past three games Tatum can average 45 points per game, say he alone, it is really not, the whole team has multiple people scoring doubles in every game, it can be said that Tatum is now the best weapon built on the Celtic team basketball system. They played the form and level of the past when they reached the division finals, and the three games the Celtics have lost in the last 20 games are the pistons, Blazers and Pacers, and to be honest, if they are not careless, they may have won 20 consecutive games!
After winning the game, the Celtics are now 4.5 wins away from the first Heat in the East, and the Heat are facing the Suns today with a high probability of losing, it can be said that the top five in the division have a chance to finally win the throne of the First Place in the East, and they also have a good chance to kill the Eastern Conference to impact the championship, to be honest, this year's East is too chaotic, after all, there is a Nets on the eighth, he is also an uncontrollable factor, the strength of each team is too average, unlike the Western Suns, the competition in the East this season will be very exciting.
Finally, the loser of this game, the Hornets, this three-goal, Bridges and Rozier faced a suffocating defense is also withered, three-goal total 12 shots 6 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists to send 6 turnovers, Bridges 5 of 14 shots, 3 of 3 1 for 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Rozier is more iron, 5 of 17 shots, 9 of 3 points for 14 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, Oubre is also very inefficient to score 9 points on 8 shots.
After the loss, the Hornets suffered two consecutive defeats, they also fell to the tenth position in the division, the Hornets after Hayward's injury, the strength of the significant decline, but they should be able to keep the play-off place, in the second season after winning three goals, if they can play in the playoffs, the Hornets are also very successful, speaking of this, what do you want to say about the current Celtics?
