Live Bar, May 18-NBA playoffs East game G1, Celtics home 116-123 defeat the Heat.
After the game, Ji mengnian, a reporter from Sports Weekly, commented: “Although Celtics made continuous mistakes at the last moment to fill up the effect, the problem in this game was still in the third section.
“I won’t say much in the first half. The Green Army entered the half with a 9-point advantage. In the fourth section, Celtics restricted the heat only by 20 points, which increased the defense of Butler. The heat was once more than 3 minutes and 1 minute. The key is the third quarter. The Celtics scored 46 points in a single section and hit 18 goals in 26 shots.
“Last year, in the east decision G1, the Celtics first battle was also defeated by opponents in the third quarter, but in different ways. At that time, the Heat made Celtic mistakes crazily, and used the counterattack to build an advantage in the score. This time, it was the unstable foothold of the Celtics, trying to find a chance to get three points.
“That Celtic retreat was very bad, and the attack was not purposeful, which made the Heat reverse the situation on the court. At the same time, marzula’s trust in Pritchard today is somewhat unexpected. When Pritchard can’t play a role on the offensive side, the defensive side is an absolute short board, which is also clearly reflected in the third section.
“The playoff game is like this. It seems that the 48-minute battle is usually between several rounds. In fact, everything in the basketball court cannot be separated from the word “potential. SPO was able to interrupt the Celtic momentum through the adjustment of pause, substitution and defense strategies. Marzula may still be relatively too tender.”
In this battle, Butler played at 43 minutes 10 seconds this time, and made 12 of 25 shots, slashing 35 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals.
