On May 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. According to the schedule, the Heat will take on the Celtics today, which is the fifth game of the East showdown. In the first four games, the Heat led the Celtics 3-1, and they are expected to advance to the Finals today.
Heat guard Vincent will not be available today due to a sprained ankle in the last game, which is a huge loss for the Heat. Vincent averaged 13.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists in the playoffs this year. In the first four games of the Eastern Conference finals, Vincent averaged 17.5 points, 2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting nearly 50% from three-point range. When Vincent started the playoffs for the Heat, the Heat were 18-5. To this, Vincent himself said: "This is really unfortunate. At first I thought I could play, but my body told me something wasn't right. ”
Heat coach Spoelstra said Vincent's ankle is much better, but not enough to keep him playing, and Lowry will play for a long time today, saying that having a championship guard like Lowry on the team is a "luxury." In addition, Spoelstra was asked why the team's 3-1 lead was still not favorable, and his answer was very simple and domineering: "We don't care!" （We don’t give a shit.）”
It is worth mentioning that before the start of the game, the Heat officially posted a photo of Butler and Lowry standing in the center of the Garden Arena, and wrote: "They are born for this moment, lead us forward, veterans!" ”
In this year's playoffs, Butler averaged 29.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game. In the Eastern Conference Finals, he scored in the first four games in order: 35, 27, 16 and 29. If the Heat can beat the Green Army to the top of the East today, Butler will win his first Eastern Conference MVP award.
The game will be played at 8:30 a.m. today, can the Heat beat the Celtics? Let's wait and see!
