At half past seven in the morning on April 30, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs in the Eastern Conference G4 started: Heat (1) home vs Celtics (2). The Heat are full of injuries: Butler (knee), Rozier (neck), Josh Richardson (shoulder), all three are out with injuries and there is no timetable for their return, which could be reimbursed in the first round.

Heat starters: Herro, Martin, Harkes, Jovic, Adebayo. Celtics starters: Holiday White, Brown, Tatum, Porzingis. With such a lineup and talent as the Heat, the Celtics, who are the first in the league, are far away, and it is good to win 1 game. Most fans don't think the Heat can be black-eight!

Speaking of games, the Celtics were relatively loose defensively and did not show playoff intensity. Halfway through the first quarter, the Celtics led by three points at 15-12, and the duo didn't shoot in the first half of the quarter. The best performance of the Green Army in the first quarter was White: 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting and 4-of-5 three-pointers in the first quarter, and the Celtics took a double-digit lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led by 10 points at 34-24, the Celtics made 5-of-10 three-pointers, and the Heat made 2-of-9 three-pointers. Herro scored 9 points and 3 assists on 4-of-6 shooting, and did his best! At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat had no other ball point, and the Green Army began to pinch Herro, and the difference once came to 15 points. It's a pity that the double tanhua is too pulled, and only 3 of the first 12 shots are made.

With 2 minutes and 27 seconds left in the second quarter, there was an emergency situation on the court, and Porzingis left the court without an injury. The Green Army will not have much problem winning this series, and if Boshen is injured, the Green Army will have a difficult time playing in the playoffs in the future. At halftime, the Celtics led by 17 points at 53-36. White 22 points, Tatum 8+7+3, Brown 6+5+2.

There was nothing Herro could do in the face of the bag, 0 points and 0 assists in the second quarter with 3 shots and 0 assists in the single quarter, and still 9 points and 3 assists at halftime. Adebayo finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and two assists on 6-of-12 shooting in the half. The Heat shot 3-of-16 from three-point range and shot 18.8 percent from three-point range. At halftime, Celtic officially announced that Porzingis suffered a right calf injury and will not return for this game.

Yibian fought again, and the double tanhua felt slightly warmer, and the Celtics once led by more than 20 points. The Heat are already very active defensively, but there is a clear gap in individual ability and talent. White exploded completely, scoring 11 points in a single quarter and 33 points in the first three quarters. There was a vote in the NBA in which White and the Thunder's Jay were voted the most underrated players.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics led by 22 points, 81-59. Despite trailing 20+, the enthusiasm of the Miami fans remained undiminished, and the home fans still cheered the Heat in unison in the fourth quarter. Tatum made three quarters (4 of 13), and finally vented once in the last quarter, brutally shutting Martin. The Heat didn't give up and chased to 13 points in the final five minutes.

There was a controversial scene in the fourth quarter: the referee had already whistled Mills for a foul, Tatum wanted to shoot one after the dead ball, and Adebayo was whistled for a first-degree malicious foul on suspicion of stepping on his feet. This is just a small episode, the game itself has no suspense, the end of the game, the Celtics defeated the Heat 102-88, the overall score is 3-1 to get the match point.

White shot 15-of-26, 8-of-15 three-pointers, 0 free throws, and scored 38 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, setting a career-high in points, including the regular season and playoffs. Tatum had 20 points, 11 rebounds and five assists on 5-of-14 shooting, and Jaylen Brown had 17 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals on 7-of-18 shooting. Bam Adebayo had 25 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists on 11-of-22 shooting, while Herro had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Back on the Celtics' home court next time, do you think the Heat still have a chance? Finally, let's take a look at the game stats:
