In the first-round series, the Celtics eliminated the Heat 4-1 to advance, and the Cavaliers eliminated the Magic through a tiebreaker to advance. With an hour and a half before the start of the game, the Celtics officially released the entrance photos of the players, including Tatum, Jaylen Brown and other stars have appeared, and it can be seen from the expressions of the Green Army generals that they are very serious about today's game.

For this series, ESPN's expert panel gave predictions, and as a result, all 16 experts favored the Celtics to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Guys like him know what he needs to do every day, whether it's playing or being healthy, he's always giving his all and being ready. However, we don't yet know when he will be able to return. ”
