Boom 34+9, against the Big Three! The first in the league is too strong, and the fangs of the double probe show the strength of the championship
The NBA regular season continues, and the Celtics vs. Knicks game has officially begun. Before the game, most fans would have predicted a victory for Celtic in this game. After all, the Celtics have the best record in the league and are quite strong. Sure enough, the Knicks only blocked the impact of the Celtics in two quarters, and the Knicks' disadvantage was highlighted since entering the second half. In the end, after four quarters of the game, the Celtics won 116-102 against the Knicks.
To tell the truth, everyone could expect the Knicks to lose this game, after all, it was too difficult for the Knicks to win in the face of hard power. But then again, although the Knicks lost the game, Brunson's performance was still remarkable. Brunson played 37 minutes in the game, shooting 12-of-25, including 4-of-9 three-pointers and 6-of-6 free throws, and scored 34 points, 3 rebounds, and 9 assists. After the whole game, the only comforting thing for the Knicks was that Brunson alone fought against the Celtics Big Three, and the Knicks defeated Brunson, but they were still honored.
After losing to the Knicks, let's talk about the Celtics who won. As for the factors for the Celtics to win, I won't be verbose here, so I will focus on the combination of Tatum + Brown.
Let's talk about Tatum first, Tatum played 42 minutes in the whole game, shooting 7 of 15, including 2 of 8 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws, and got 19 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. Realistically speaking, Tatum's offensive efficiency is not high, and the word "sluggish" can even be used to describe Tatum's offensive efficiency. However, Tatum's performance is not something that the data can measure. Take this game as an example, although Tatum's offensive efficiency is poor, Tatum's ability to attract defense has won a lot of open opportunities for other players, and Tatum's overall view and ability to pass the ball make the Celtics' offensive fluency more fluid. All in all, Tatum is the offensive core of the Celtics, and Tatum is also the snow of the Celtics' team record.
After talking about Tatum, let's talk about Brown. Brown played 35 minutes in this game, shooting 13 of 24, including 3 of 9 three-pointers and 1 of 3 free throws, and got 30 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. If Tatum is the leader, then Brown is Tatum's right-hand man. Unlike Tatum, Brown's role with the Celtics is to play off the ball and shoot when you catch the ball. Defensively, Brown is the Celtics' best defender on the perimeter. To put it bluntly, Brown is a very balanced strength on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, with his outside three-point shot on the Celtics is guaranteed, and Brown's front defense in the Celtics is impregnable.
With the win, the Celtics moved to a 45-12 record, which ranks first in the league and eight wins ahead of the Cavaliers, who are second in the East. I don't know, what do people think of Celtics today? Anyway, I only have three words about Celtic: "It's too strong." In particular, Shuangtanhua's performance this season has become more mature, and his style of play has become more stable. To borrow a phrase from the fans, the double tanhua has shown their fangs, and they have only one goal, and that is to win the championship.
