If you want to talk about the matchup that is still in a stalemate in the first round of the regular season, it is the Magic and the Cavaliers, and the Clippers and the Mavericks. Both teams start with six games, unlike some other teams that either qualify directly in four games or play five. In fact, this is the difference in strength, and the effect of the game when the strength is close. These two sets of matchups are both collisions between the 4th and 5th, and they have at least 6 games, which is expected. Of course, teams like the Celtics, if not a horse stumble, will complete the sweep. All in all, this year's playoffs are quite lively, and there will be a lot of things to come, if you talk about the general pattern, there are only a handful of the following cases.
So in this year's playoffs, which players have performed very eye-catching? Some people may say that it is Murray, and Murray has performed very well, that is, he personally sent the Lakers away. We also have to praise Harden for playing really well and carrying the team on his shoulders. If we want to talk about players who perform well in the character puzzle, we need to pay attention to Green Kai's White. White is a player that everyone knows, and it's a good one. Although he was already an older rookie when he entered the league, a mature player like this can become an instant fighter without tempering. White had a good reputation when he was with the Spurs, averaging 15.4 points per game in the 20-21 season, which can be said to be the piece of the puzzle in the top puzzle.
Since coming to the Celtics, White has also maintained an extremely high attendance rate. In the 22-23 season, he averaged 12.4 points and 3.9 assists per game, and this season in the regular season he averaged 15.2 points, 5.2 assists and 4.2 rebounds, shooting 46.1% from the field and 39.6% from three-point range. Everyone knows that the Celtics are a multi-giant team, even so, White's statistics have improved to varying degrees, scoring is a new high for the Celtics, and assists are a new career high. As the saying goes, the playoffs are the real thing, and White is the type who plays better in the playoffs than in the regular season. During the 22-23 playoffs, White averaged 13.4 points, 3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 50.5 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three-point range.
This season, White is even more exaggerated. He averaged 21.8 points and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 56.9 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from three-point range. White is playing quite efficiently, shooting flawlessly, and shooting free throws at 100 percent. Specific to the number of playoff games this year, G1 White turned his hand into the cloud, got 20 points, 4 assists, and hit 4 three-pointers. G4 White covered his hands and finished with 38 points, 3 assists, 3 blocks, and hit 8 three-pointers. The Celtics were able to suppress the Heat directly, and White played a considerable role without any problems. Therefore, in the playoffs, White quietly changed the team's pattern and became the team's most important scorer. Sometimes Tatum has to lean back and make way for White.
At present, White's annual salary is only 17.6 million, and it will only be 18.82 million next year, which can be said to be quite cost-effective, and it does not match his worth. If it's the next contract, it's really not too much to give 40 million, because White is worth the price. I have to say that the guy has also survived, from a player who was selected at the end of the first round to the present. Of course, if the Celtics want to win the championship this year, White is the top priority, and some key shots at key moments also need White to shoot. The Eastern Celtics have no opponents, and the most important thing is that once they reach the Finals, they will have to plan in detail.
