Pacers: I lead 2:0 away, Knicks: I and I! Whoever qualifies for the Western Conference this year will win
6:05pm, 13 May 2025【Basketball】
The East was in chaos. First, the Pacers were 2-0 away, making the Cavaliers a "pseudo-strong team". Then today the Knicks reversed the Celtics with another 20 points, and they were also 2-0 away. These two Eastern Championship seed teams are at least completely different from the fans' previous imagination.
I believe that after the first round, it was unanimously agreed that the Cavaliers and the Celtics would meet in the Eastern Conference Finals, but now both teams are behind 0-2 and have lost their two home courts.
Simply talk about the game process:
1. The "false prosperity" leading by 20 points at the beginning of the game, the Celtics did play the momentum of defending the champion. White and Brown made three-pointers in a row, scoring 24 points in the first quarter, which shocked the Knicks. Towns was in the inside in the second quarter, but Brown stabilized the situation by 11 points in a single quarter, and the Celtics led 50-41 at the end of the first half. The third quarter was even more exaggerated. Tatum suddenly broke out and scored 5 points in a row. The Celtics once widened the gap to 20 points, and the fans on the scene began to celebrate in advance.
But the problem lies in the leading advantage of "boiling frogs in warm water". The Celtics suddenly cut off power in the last three minutes of the third quarter, and the Knicks scored 8-0, and the score difference instantly narrowed to 12 points. At this time, some fans began to mutter: "Why are you starting to rogue again?" As expected, the fourth quarter completely became the Knicks' performance time.
2. The Knicks' "Death Section 4" started in the final quarter, and the Knicks directly used the joint defense tactic of "killing people and heart-killing". Bridges scored 14 points in a single quarter, Brunson was proficient in breakout and throwing and jumping in a hurry. The two teamed up to score a 19-2 attack wave, directly overtaking the score. The Celtics were completely disorganized, making three consecutive mistakes, missing all 7 shots from outside the three-point line, and even White, who was the most stable in normal times, began to make a blacksmith.
The most fatal thing is that the Celtics suddenly "didn't power outage" while leading by 16 points. Tatum missed the three-pointer for two consecutive times, Brown made a strong three-pointer and was blocked, Holiday made a mistake in passing and directly handed over the ball. At this time, some fans in the stands began to leave the court early, muttering: "The lead is reversed every year, and the heart can't stand it."
Who will take the blame for this game?
1. Tatum, 12 of 43 shots in two games and 5 of 20 three-pointers, still not at critical moments.
2. Head coach Mazula really made a crazy three-pointer, and made 60 three-pointers in the last game. In this game, 40 three-pointers, are there no other tactics besides shooting three-pointers?
3. Brown, I don’t know if he has an injury, but it’s really a big deal anyway. Brown made 8 of 23 shots in the game, 0 of 4 shots in the last quarter, and made 6 mistakes. Especially the last moment defense missed people, allowing Bridges to easily score. What's even more outrageous is that he chose to make strong three-pointers many times when the Knicks counterattacked, and he ignored his teammates at all.
Many people believe that the Celtics will turn the tables in the end, so do I, but looking at NBA history, at the beginning, only 4% of the teams in history can turn the tables. But with the current state of Double Tanhua, it is really difficult to turn the tables!
Now the two Eastern Championship seeds have all been broken. Is it the Western Conference team who can break out of the Western Conference this year the championship?
