On May 10, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and in the fourth leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Celtics beat the Bucks and chased the total score to a 2-2 draw. In this game, the Celtics' 35-year-old veteran Horford performed extremely well, scoring 30 points, setting a new career playoff single-game scoring record.
In the last game between the two sides, Horford has played very well, cutting a double-double of 22 points and 16 rebounds, and his basket at the last minute is only slightly overtime, otherwise it will drag the game into overtime, and it is difficult to say who can win.
Interestingly, after losing the last game, many Green Army fans blamed Tatum, saying that he wasted Horford's excellent performance, and Horford may not be able to play a similar performance. But what people did not expect was that the state of Horford in this game was actually better than the ball.
In the first half, he scored 11 points and hit all two three-point shots. In the second half of the game, Horford was even more omnipotent, and after being split on the head by the alphabet brother, he quickly responded, and also returned the letter brother a split. At 6:02 before the end of the fourth quarter, Brother Alphabet scored 2+1 on his head, but back, Horford first hit a three-point long-range shot, and then hit a 2+1 on The Big Luo's head.
In the end, Horford shot 11-of-14 and scored 30 points and eight rebounds, and when he was on the floor, the Celtics were able to net outperform their opponents by as many as 20 points. It was also because of him that the Celtics, who lacked Rowe, did not suffer any losses on the inside and eventually won the game.
When Horford was traded to the Celtics last offseason, many felt that the four-year, $109 million contract he was carrying had become a garbage contract. But now from the situation in the playoffs, this "garbage contract" is too fragrant, and if there is no Horford, I am afraid that this series will have lost suspense long ago.
