The watershed moment of this game occurred in the second and third quarters. In the first quarter, the Celtics were overwhelmed by the Heat. Enes Kanter jumped out and scored 8 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter to stabilize the game. In the third quarter, the Celtics were beaten by the Heat. In the quarter, they relied on the cooperation of Jaylen Brown and Daniel Theis on both ends of the offense and defense to suppress the score. In addition, the Heat suddenly lost their minds for some reason, kept making mistakes and shooting, and then they played badly.Jayson TatumJust jump out and take over the game.
Judging from the book, Tatum had 31 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, but he made only 1 of 10 shots in the early part of the third quarter and almost had to rely on free throws to score points. Jaylen Brown had 28 points and 8 rebounds, although the score was not as high as the others. Tatum, but most of these 28 points were help in times of need, and Tatum was the icing on the cake.
At present, the NBA does not provide official data on chasing points when falling behind, but based on my own experience watching the game, Brown's performance is particularly eye-catching when chasing points. G5 almost relies on Brown's outside and offensive and defensive transition RBI to chase points, while Tatum is after the score is overpowered. Just took over the game. This is also the key point that Tatum urgently needs to improve. In the current playoff clutch data (point difference +/-5 points in the last 5 minutes), Tatum only has a 23.8% shooting percentage and a 11.1% three-point shooting percentage, which is almost invisible. same periodJamal Murray(55.6%/72.7%) andDonovan Mitchell(50%/66.7%) car tail light.
The other two key figures are Kanter and Theis. Somehow Theis was inspired by Kanter's good performance in the second quarter. In the third quarter, both offense and defense improved by two levels. It was rare that he could compare with the Heat's Bam Adebayo.
On the other hand, the Heat were suddenly possessed by a collective evil in the second half, making various mistakes and shooting. Except for Goran Dragic, it seemed that most people had already flown to the championship game. In the third quarter, they were blasted by the Celtics by 41 points, and Udonis Haslem was seen on the sidelines. Almost pissed off. I'm rightJimmy ButlerHis performance was particularly disappointing. He felt like he was running back and forth in the second half, cutting in and the ball kept being blocked. He didn't ask for the ball to take over the game at the critical moment. After the game, he also thought it was his fault. Yes, you have to shoulder the blame for the Heat in G5.
