Reversing by 20 points in a row, where is the defending champion losing? US media has revealed 5 major reasons: Tatum is exposed

Two consecutive home games were reversing 20 points, and the big score was 0-2 and the defending champion Celtics lost? The US media "bleacherreport" has revealed five major reasons, including Tatum's exposure.

Reason 1: The Celtics were able to win the championship last season and ranked second in the Eastern Conference this season, which are closely related to the team's excellent three-point shooting. The Celtics not only have accurate three-pointers, but also have high three-point production and many three-point shooting points.

Results So far in the second round, the Celtics collectively missed the outside world, G1 lost 45 three-pointers and broke the NBA historical record, and the defending champion of G2 still did not find the touch, with a total of 10 of 40 three-pointers.

In today's small ball era, it is indeed difficult to win a game when a team with a large number of three-pointers shoots such a bad shooting percentage.

Reason 2: The Boston is not in the online state

As the core of the Celtics' inside, the Boston has always been a key part of the team's offensive and defensive system, especially when the team's three-pointers feel bad, the importance of his rebounding and inside offense has been further improved.

As a result, he was trapped in the continuous virus infection in February and March. Boss was obviously not in his best condition. He only played for 13 minutes in G1 and had to miss the second half due to illness.

G2's Wave God's condition is still sluggish, and only played for 14 minutes. If the Wave God's subsequent Wave God cannot stay healthy, it is hard to believe that the Celtics can win 4 games in the remaining 5 games.

Reason 3: White and Holiday's defensive loss

Like three-point shooting, White and Holiday's top perimeter defense is one of the key factors in the success of the Celtics in the past two years. The two of them performed well in the first two games of the

series, limiting Brunson to only 15 of 42 shots, but the two did not have enough restrictions on Brunson at critical moments. Brunson scored 14 points in 12 minutes in two key moments, close to one-third of the total score of 46 points in the two games.

In short, the two have good defensive performances in regular time, but need to perform better at critical moments to limit Brunson.

Reason 4: Tatum exposed his character

As the leader of the Celtics, as if nothing unexpected happens, Tatum will be selected for the fourth consecutive season this season, but his performance so far in the second round is completely unworthy of such honors and expectations from the outside world.

made a total of 42 shots in the two games and only scored a poor 36 points, even 1 point less than Hart of the Knicks.

And at critical moments, Tatum habitually invisible and collapsed. G2 made 1 of 5 shots in the final quarter and 0 of 2 three-pointers. Both the Celtics and Tatum’s own star positioning were a huge blow, especially when he lost FMVP last year, Tatum needs to perform better to prove that he is a real superstar.

Reason 5: The Knicks have amazing resilience

Two consecutive games are behind 20 points in the away game, but the Knicks can always find a way to break the situation when they are behind.

Especially when you are in desperate situations and decisive moments, the Knicks will suddenly become nervous on the defensive end, and Bridges and Anunobi join hands to lock Brown and Tatum.

Downs kept hitting key balls, and another insider Mitchell Robinson played a total of 43 minutes, helping the Knicks win 32 points. With the omnipotent Hart (scoring, rebounds and assists ranked second in the team), and Brunson, who could not be stopped at critical moments, the reason why the Celtics were reversed one after another was because of their own problems, and on the other hand, the opponent Knicks were indeed excellent enough.
