On March 28, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Celtics defeated the Timberwolves 134-112 to win six consecutive wins in the East. In this wave of 6 consecutive wins, the Green Army has played a number of explosive data, which can reflect how good they are now and how strong they are.
In this wave of 6 consecutive wins, the Celtics have won a total of 140 points against the opponent, averaging 23.3 points per game, and in these 6 games, the Celtics have led the opponent by 20+, which can be said to be "rain and dew", regardless of whether you are a team like the Kings and thunder that cannot enter the playoffs, or the Warriors, Nuggets, Jazz and Timberwolves, which are within the threshold of the playoffs, the Celtics are the same hanging.
So why did the Celtics get so strong? The most important reason is that the team's double probe is hot. In this game against the Timberwolves, Tatum exploded with 34 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and Jaylen Brown had 31 points and 10 rebounds.
According to statistics, in the past wave of 6 consecutive wins, the double probe flowers have scored at least 25 points each. Looking at NBA history, in addition to the Lakers' Jerry West/Elgin Baylor and O'Neal/Kobe bryant combinations, this is the third pair in history to be able to do this. And being able to match the OK combination is enough to prove how powerful the Green Army Double Probe Flower is now.
Of course, a good guy three gang, in addition to the double probe flower, the Celtics role players are equally powerful. For example, Smart averaged 5.3 assists per game before the All-Star, but averaged 7.6 assists per game after the All-Star, ranking 9th in the league. Even the three-pointer, which he wasn't good at, rose to 39.7 percent in the 14 games since the All-Star break. Derrick White, Theis and others who came to the team at the trade deadline also greatly improved the bench depth of the Celtics.
Because of this, the Celtics, who were in the lower half of the East before this month, have made a leap forward in their record, all the way to the current No. 1 in the East. And head coach Uduka even put down the bold words, "Victory is guiding us forward, everyone in the team is doing their part on the field, each of us will be happy for each other's success, in this process no one will be left behind." We won't go back to the struggle we had before, and if we continue to fight in the same way, we will definitely get to where we want to be. ”
