In the early morning of May 2, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs Eastern Conference semifinals ended a focus battle, the Bucks defeated the Celtics 101-89 away from home, and the series scored a 1-0 lead. The Bucks made too many mistakes and lacked rebounding protection at the start of the game, leaving them behind without Middleton. Later, with the outbreak of Alphabet Brother, Portis, Allen and Holliday, the Bucks gradually overtook the score and occupied the initiative in the game. The Celtics' Brown didn't perform well, Tatum felt average, and Smart was injured at one point. The Bucks won and also opened the scoring in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
With half of the quarter left in the final quarter, the Bucks' Holliday hit a three-pointer to give the Bucks a 92-75 lead over the Celtics by a full 17 points, and Celtics president and former coach Stevens got up and left. In fact, when Stevens left, the Celtics once narrowed the gap and stopped the Bucks, but unfortunately did not reverse the success, or let the opponent play garbage time, the Celtics regrettably lost.
The Celtics shot 28-of-84 from the field, including 18-of-50 three-pointers and 10-of-34 two-pointers, setting a series of embarrassing records:
The Celtics frequently made 50 three-pointers, setting a new record for their own team's all-time playoff three-pointer shooting, after 49 single-pointers;
The Celtics hit 10 2-pointers in the game, the NBA's 4th lowest 2-pointer shooting since the 1979-1980 season;
He hit 10 2-pointers in a single game, the second lowest two-point shooting in a single game in the NBA playoffs, the lowest was the 2017 Western Conference second round G6, and the Rockets faced the Spurs with 9-of-37.
He hit 10 two-pointers in a single game, the least two-point shot in three games in Celtic history, and the fewest 6629 games before that was 14 in a single game.
What you should know is that the definition of 2-point shots is very broad, jump shots, throws, breakthrough layups, empty connections, dunks, baskets, and supplemental baskets are all counted as 2 points, but among so many "options", the Celtics actually only hit 10 times in the whole game, and they are paranoid about shooting three-pointers, blasting out a record 50 three-point shots in team history, the result is not high, and there is no threat to the opponent through three-point shots, which is indeed a huge tactical problem, and the humiliating fiasco is a disastrous defeat.
Coupled with the fact that the team can't play at home, the point difference in the last quarter is not too big, but there is no hope. In this case, it is understandable why the Stevens president left the court early, and even if there is only half of the game left, the Celtics have no hope.
The Celtics were in a passive series after losing the game, and home advantage was gone. After the Bucks won the road, they regained home field advantage in the series, and if the next G2 continues to win, the probability of promotion will increase greatly.
