Overcoming his demons, Tatum finally got back what belonged to him!
The Bucks continue to sit at home today in G4.
In the last game, Tatum scored only 10 points in 4 of 19, and the performance of Kan Qiujun is still unforgettable, and the old man's whistle timeout has become a difficult draw for many Kai fans, and after this game, Tatum has also been pushed to the cusp of the storm.
In fact, it is not difficult for us to review the last game again, and it is not difficult to find that this is just the result of the long skills of the Coach of the Cloth Commander, through a variety of single defenses to disrupt Tatum's offensive rhythm, and finally lose the confidence to shoot.
The Celtics who lost Rowe today (knee pain) really made the fans sweat for them, and the pre-game official even revealed the importance of Lowe to both ends of the team's attack and defense;
In Rowe's 71 minutes on the pitch, the Green Army's offensive efficiency was 90.7 points (100 rounds scored), defensive efficiency was 91.7 points (100 rounds of points lost), net efficiency was -1 point; in the 73 minutes he left, the Green Army's offensive efficiency was 107.2 points, defensive efficiency was 98 points, and net efficiency was +9.2 points.
Greenshirts, are you really going to fall into this series?
Then you have to ask the old comrade Horford, 18 minutes in the half, 4 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, only 1 mistake.
Once Horford was also a center who broke the wrist with the peak spark, although it was not broken in the end, it did not prevent people from becoming ball blind appraisers, and today's fight with the letter brother is also back and forth.
The front foot letter brother one-handed split Horford stared at the provocation and was blown T, and the back foot Horford double-handed buckle elbow flipped letter brother also ate a T, the two can be described as incompatible.
Limited by the efforts of Horford and the generals, Alphabet Brother scored 15 points on only 6-of-17 shooting at halftime.
Old Huo is like Addo in "A Song of Ice and Fire", trying his best to block the door of Brother Alphabet's attack, in order to give the team a glimmer of life, and... The Tatum that won't freeze to death in the snowy night!
That's right, in the fourth quarter, Tatum finally returned!!!
The last moment of life and death is also the most anxious time for both sides. Tatum scored 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the quarter and came back, everything was back;
Led by Double Probing and Smart, the Celtics scored 43 points (28 bucks) in a single quarter, setting a league playoff late-quarter scoring record this year!
In the end, the Bucks lost in this wave, losing 108-116 to the opponent, and the total score was pulled to 2-2!
In this game, Tatum shot 11 of 24, including 3 of 10 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, cut 30 points, 13 boards and 5 assists, in the last game, he took the initiative to give up good shots in the last quarter, without the spirit of Mamba, and this game stepped forward to complete the redemption when the team needed him the most!
Veteran Horford blossomed inside and outside, playing 41 minutes and 35 seconds, shooting 11 of 14, including 5 of 7 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws, cutting a playoff career-high 30 points (previously a maximum of 26 points), plus 8 boards, 3 assists and 1 block;
Especially in the final quarter, he scored 16 points on 6-of-6 shooting and combined with Tatum to win 28 points, which was a key factor in the victory, and the Bucks only scored 28 points in the final quarter...
36-year-old Horford, at its peak, I would like to call it - Warcraft Horford!
And the alphabet brother seems to be desperate, how to have anti-letter armor opposite, so far in this series, the alphabet brother has struggled slightly under Horford's defense, a total of 49 shots hit 15 goals, shooting 30.6%,
And against the rest of the Celtics defensively, he shot 35 of 65, shooting 53.8%!
Alphabet brother played 41 minutes, 14 of 32 shots, 6 of 11 free throws, 34 points, 18 boards and 5 assists, plus or minus +1.
Not only to see that he has to shoulder the responsibility of impacting the basket, but also to fight with old Ho, Gwe and other people, and wrestle with Smart, it can be seen that superstars are not good.
If you really want to select a war criminal in this field, it will definitely be a holiday brother!
On the pitch Tatum pulled the crotch, this time the holiday brother returned a game, the whole game 22 shots hit 5 goals, only to get a small 16 points;
So far in the playoffs, Holiday Brother's true shooting percentage is 45.38%, ranking last among all players who have averaged at least 10 points per game.
Watching the alphabet brother over and over again the impact of the meat bomb is difficult to take away a victory, I believe that the Bucks should miss Middleton who can open up space;
Hearing Middleton's name, Boston children did not dare to cry at night, but unfortunately, the sharpshooter has not announced a comeback after suffering a knee ligament injury in the first round.
However, there is news that Middleton's recovery from injury has made steady progress and is expected to catch up with the series against the Celtics.
To avoid the long night, the Celtics have to end the series as early as possible, and as the schedule deepens, if the Bucks are welcoming an All-Star to help, They are afraid that Boston will be less fierce.
