On April 18, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs ushered in a very hot battle! The Celtics narrowly beat the Nets 115-114 with Tatum's whistle-blowing streak to open the scoring. In this campaign, Irving blasted down 39 points and hit a three-pointer in the final minute. But then, Jaylen Brown hit a layup, Tatum pressed the whistle to kill, and the Celtics finally waded through the danger. And for a moment, Owen and Durant were dumbfounded.
The nets and green army showdown is arguably the most eye-catching series in the first round of the playoffs. Although the ranking gap between the two teams is large, the four superstar players of the two teams, as well as the feud between Irving and the Celtics, are still bloody. In the first game, the two sides did not disappoint the fans and played a very wonderful scene.
Straight back to the last 2 minutes of the game. After almost an entire confrontation, the two sides still tied 109. At this time, Durant took the lead in the half turn to complete the shot, and then Tatum broke through and was blocked, but Horford scored a second offensive basket. Irving then faced Smart and shot straight at the three-pointer to give the Nets a 114-111 lead.
After the timeout, Jaylen Brown broke through to score, which caused a lot of controversy after the game, and many people thought that the Nets defense was too lax. Durant then forced a three-point shot to miss out, giving the Celtics, who were one point behind, a last chance. As a result, the Green Shirts did not request a pause and spent their time in the final moments. Smart broke through and alertly passed to Tatum, who was inserted under the basket. Tatum faced Irving's defense directly and turned lightly to hit, the light turned on the ball, Tatum killed the Nets!
Tatum galloped and roared to celebrate! After seeing Tatum's death, Durant, who was originally in charge of defense, and Irving, who was finally defended, were a little incredulous, standing in place like a wooden chicken, and Dragic smashed the ball to vent his anger. The whole Green Army celebrated wildly, and the whole team rushed to Tatum to celebrate the victory.
