On June 7, Beijing time, after 8 days of waiting, G1 finally started, and the Celtics hosted the Mavericks. As the hegemon of the East this season, the Celtics did not encounter any challenges in the regular season, including the first three rounds of the playoffs, eliminating the Heat 4-1, eliminating the Cavaliers 4-1, and sweeping the Pacers 4-0 in the Eastern Finals. In contrast, the Mavericks started low and went high this season, and their performance in the first half of the season did struggle, but after Gafford and Washington joined the team, the Mavericks rose in the second half of the season, and in the first three rounds of the playoffs, they eliminated the Clippers, Thunder and Timberwolves. As the core of the team, Doncic contributed a total of 489 points, 164 rebounds, 150 assists, 28 steals and 57 three-pointers in the first three series, all of which are the first in the league!

In addition to the home court advantage, the timely return of Boshen, and the team's load management since March, the Celtics have a high level of squad health; But from another perspective, the Celtics have not encountered challenges before, and their offensive efficiency this season is as high as 122.2, the first in history! Smoothly walked to the finals stage, judging from the past performance of Shuangtanhua in the high-end game, the ability to improve the team's ceiling is insufficient. On the contrary, although the overall lineup of the Mavericks is not as good as the Celtics, Doncic + Irving can be called the strongest duo, they contributed an average of 59 points per game in the Western Conference finals, and repeatedly stepped up at critical moments. In this game, Celtics coach Mazzulla arranged Boshen to play as a substitute, and the veteran Horford played in 181 playoff games, ranking third among all non-championship players in history, behind Karl Malone (193 games) and Stockton (182 games).

At the beginning, Horford broke the deadlock with a dunk, Holiday and Jones hit three points, and Doncic easily trained Brown! Washington's strong smash allowed the Mavericks to take the initiative, and then the Celtics made a force: Horford's three-pointer stopped the bleeding in time, Jaylen Brown made a steal and easily split the dunk, and after Irving responded with consecutive singles, White suddenly rained three-pointers! Boshen started to play singles + violent dunks when he came on the field, and there was no missing shot! At the end of the quarter, Tatum and Boshen continued to rain three-pointers, and after the first quarter, the Celtics led the Mavericks 37-20, with a 17-point difference in the first quarter, creating a new record in the history of the NBA Finals! Boshen played 7 minutes and cut 11 points and 3 blocks! Back in the second quarter, Irving and Brown played against each other alone, Hauser continued to shoot a three-pointer, Boshen ignored Jones' easy jump shot, and the Mavericks were knocked down! Jaylen Brown continued to score three points + counterattack dunks, and Tatum fired from the outside.

The Celtics led the Mavericks by 29 points at most! In the second half, Doncic scored consecutive layups, Boshen's three-pointer was still in the middle, and Doncic stepped back for three points at the end of the quarter, and the Celtics 63-42 Mavericks at halftime! The stats show that the finals led 21+ at halftime, and the teams that did it before ended up with a 14-1 record. Boshen had 18 points in the half, Brown had 13 points, and Tatum had 8 points; Doncic had 17 points and Irving had just six points. At the start of the second half, White continued to bomb outside, but the Mavericks gradually found their touch: Gafford made a basket + Irving made consecutive single throws, stopping the Celtics all the way. In the middle section, Doncic trained Horford + retreat three-point + ultra-long three-point, and the Mavericks chased all the way to only 8 points! In the second half, it was still a wave of violent dunks + Brown free throws to stop the bleeding!

At the end of the quarter, the Celtics led the Mavericks 88-66 after the third quarter. In the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, Doncic named Boshen to attack, but Holiday made a tough layup + White stole Doncic counterattacked and made a layup, and the Celtics once again opened up a point difference of more than 20 points and stopped the Mavericks! In the middle of the game, the Mavericks' offense was completely dumb, Tatum stepped back and made a jumper, Horford easily made a basket, and Holiday hit another three points, and the game was completely spent! In the last 5 minutes, the Mavericks switched to the third team and surrendered, and the game entered garbage time! In the end, the Celtics defeated the Mavericks 107-89 at home, and the finals led 1-0!

Mavericks statistics, Doncic 30 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist, Irving 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Washington 14 points and 8 rebounds, Gafford 8 points and 3 rebounds, Derrick Jones 5 points and 6 rebounds. Celtics statistics, Boshen 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, Brown 22 points and 6 rebounds, Tatum 16 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, Horford 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, White 15 points and 5 assists, Holiday 12 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Seven of the Celtics hit at least two three-pointers, setting a new NBA Finals record!

Throughout the game, it is most appropriate to describe the Lone Ranger with "two fists are hard to beat with four hands". The Celtics' team-wide roof battle consumed Doncic, and Doncic wasn't out of fitness, and while he was still able to score, it was very successful to cut him off from his teammates. In addition, Irving has been facing various boos from the Celtics' home fans, and his mentality has obviously been affected. Besides, the Eastern European combination is like this, the rest of the Mavericks have no stable scoring points, Washington misses all kinds of big vacancies, Gafford and Lively are in front of Boshen, there is really a taste of being hit by dimensionality reduction, and the Celtics have 6 double-doubles, and the finals will lose suspense in advance?
