On April 22, Beijing time, the Miami Heat lost 94-114 to the Boston Celtics, and the Heat did not have the star Jimmy Butler in this game, and Butler made a foul under the basket in the first round of the play-offs against Philadelphia, resulting in an indefinite injury. In this game, the Heat were pressed to the floor and rubbed, and last year's Eastern Conference Heat eliminated Green Kai 4-3.
Tatum avenged his revenge in this game, playing 41 minutes, 7 of 18 + 1 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 23 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, shooting 38.9% from the field and 12.5% from three-point range, winning the first triple-double of his playoff career.
However, with 1 minute left in the fourth quarter, he was saved by Caleb Martin in the air, which was a dangerous move that almost caused Tatum to suffer a major injury, and Jaylen Brown scolded Martin at the time, and the two sides almost had a huge conflict.
Former Green Kai player Bai Mamba (current ESPN Green Kai commentator), said in the live broadcast room: "It was a dirty move, why did Spo take a timeout with 1 and a half minutes left in the game and 16 points behind? What is the meaning of the timeout? After 30 seconds, Martin made a ruinous move. ”
Later, some fans wrote, discovering a pattern of last year's Heat Black Eight:
Playoffs first round: Giannis G1 has a back contusion;
Playoffs Second Round: Brunson is stepped up by Martin, Brunson is injured;
Eastern Finals: Tatum left the court with a shoulder injury in the third game, Smart, Tatum, and Lowe were all injured;
Finals: The Heat stepped on Jokic many times, but unfortunately Jokic was not injured.
Martin is a real villain, and almost every dirty move of the Heat starts from him, stepping Brunson, Jokic, and hitting Tatum is him.
