Eight facts that have to be admitted:
1. Jaylen Brown played efficiently, playing 33 minutes, shooting 12-of-18 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range, scoring 32 points and 6 rebounds. Brown started the game, scored 15 points in a single quarter and played against Mitchell, played very easily, today's hand feels really good, the efficiency is very high, and the defense is still online, Brown is the real boss of the Celtics, playing calmly and reasonably, I feel that Brown should be corrected.
2. Tatum was a headwind, Lazy Rabbit shot 7 of 19, missed all 5 three-point shots, and got 18 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. Other teams are bosses who are difficult to support alone, and Tatum can't even understand the downwind ball, the team's biggest flaw is the star in charge, and the tough battle must be pulled, this green army really needs to change the leader if it wants to win the championship, Tatum really doesn't have a superstar level, although the defense is online, but the offense is degraded only with his back played, and the three points are extremely unstable, it can only be said that Tatum was brought to a height that does not belong to him by his teammates.
3. White Green Army True Core, 9-of-16 shooting, 7-of-12 three-pointers, 25 points and 5 assists. Xiaobai is really stable, C on the field, not like Shuangtanhua from time to time, not to mention the great play, and high emotional intelligence, Tatum came up and passed the ball to him, scored and assisted the defense, if the Green Army won the championship this year, White may get the FMVP.
4. Holiday defended the gate, played 35 minutes, and scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. Holiday who pretended to be dead in the regular season also showed his fangs in the playoffs, his defense is really good, his continuous frontcourt rebounds are really hard, and he is proficient in defensive three-point rebounds, he is really an underrated player.
5. Mitchell tried his best, playing 36 minutes, shooting 12-of-25, and scoring 33 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Mitchell really tried his best, the Cavaliers relied on him to support him, in the third quarter he chiseled one by one, looking tired, isolated, the Cavaliers' offense except for Mitchell's singles, teammates really can't stand up, without him the Cavaliers can't enter the playoffs, Mitchell brought the Cavaliers to a height that doesn't belong to them, play the playoffs and go to a championship team, really can't take the Cavaliers.
6. Garland had a dismal performance, playing 35 minutes, shooting 6-of-15 from the field, 2-of-8 from three-point range, and scoring 14 points and 5 assists. Garland is useless, since the playoffs, he can't play a tough game, he can't score points as soon as the defensive intensity comes up, he can't attack, he can't defend, the data can't reflect his damage to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers left him to trade Sexton too failed.
7. The Green Army beat the Cavaliers at home to get a good start to the Eastern Conference semifinals, even if the core of the Green Army's interior Porzingis was unable to play due to injury in this round of the series, the Green Army was still able to rely on a strong lineup to easily defeat the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers only had a stable scoring point for Mitchell, and they played very passively, and what the Cavaliers needed to do was to strive not to be swept away.
