On May 2, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. In a just-concluded first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Celtics lost 89:101 at home to the Bucks, trailing their opponents 0:1 in the series and encountering a black start. Meanwhile, it was the Green Army's first playoff defeat this year!
The Celtics lost today, arguably being overpowered by the Bucks in all directions. Among them, the Green Army was almost completely unable to break through the Bucks' interior line, and the Celtics made 84 shots in the game, including as many as 50 three-pointers, setting a playoff record in team history, but only hitting 18 goals. The Green Army only had 34 inside shots in the entire game, which was obviously not enough to bring damage to the Bucks or threaten the Bucks.
After the game, the Celtics were rushed to the top spot in the national hot search.
Perkins said, "The Celtics are going to get better. But they were facing a well-trained team and a group of high-caliber athletes, which made the Green Army look different. ”
Famous commentator Skip wrote: "The Celtics defended the alphabet very well, he shot only 9 of 25 today, but the Bucks built a wall on the way to the basket, and the Green Army shot 50 three-pointers and only scored 18!" With just 34 two-point shots, he lost 12 points at home! The Bucks did what the Green Army did to the Nets before on the Green Army, sadly! The Green Army was so focused on how to limit the alphabet brothers, they did a good job, but forgot how to shoot. ”
Obviously, after such a defeat, the Green Army needs to go back and reflect on it. In particular, the two biggest stars, Tatum today only 6 of 18 with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Jaylen Brown only scored 12 points on 4-of-13 and had seven turnovers. In the final quarter, when the Bucks Holliday scored a 3-pointer, the Green Army fell behind by a large score, and the Green Army president Stevens left the court early, seemingly foresaw that the Green Army could not complete the turnover.
According to the schedule, the second leg of the two teams will be played on May 4, and the Celtics will continue to sit at home, and they will strive to win to avoid a 0-2 disadvantage.
