Shocking news! Tatum left in a wheelchair without any confrontation, is the Celtics dream of turning the tables?

When the final whistle had not yet sounded, Boston's hope was shattered ahead of schedule! On May 13, a heart-wrenching scene was staged in the NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals. The Celtics star Tatum fell to the ground, which not only caused Madison Square Garden to silence, but also instantly ignited the public opinion field across the United States. How did this contest of life and death evolve into the darkest moment of the Celtics?

A bloody battle but suddenly suffered a heavy blow

In this key battle that determines the direction of the series, Tatum was possessed by a God of War - a high-intensity confrontation of 39 minutes and 37 seconds, an explosive touch of 16 shots and 7 of 16 three-pointers, and a 42-pointer, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks, and almost fought the Knicks with his own strength. However, the cruel twist of fate came in a flash: after Jaylen Brown's fatal mistake, Tatum suddenly fell to the ground without physical confrontation, his twisted right leg and painful roar made all the fans' hearts hang in their throats instantly. The heart-wrenching details in the slow motion are even more chilling: the team doctor rushed into the field as soon as possible, repeatedly pressing his Achilles tendon and calf; when the stretcher was lifted out, Tatum's desperate eyes and the scene of leaving the game in a wheelchair became another tragic moment in the history of the NBA playoffs. This tough guy who is known as the "Legendary King of Killing" and has fought with injuries many times, but this time he was completely defeated by injuries.

The whole of the United States was shocked! The stars prayed for blessings and injuries and doubts

Tatum's name rushed to the top of the hot search list in the United States at the speed of light, and social media was instantly flooded with prayers and worries. LeBron James posted the first post: "Pray for you, brother!" Grant Williams was heartbroken: "There are too many people falling down this season!" The professional analysis of medical expert Jesse Morse made fans fall into an ice cellar: "The right calf is abnormally vibrating, which is highly suspected to have a torn Achilles tendon." You should know that injuries in this area can be reimbursed for the season at the mildest, and at worst they endanger their careers. Superstars such as Curry and Cousins ​​have suffered greatly.

Review of Tatum's "Man of Steel": the feat of 51 points in a single game in the playoffs, the tenacity of insisting on free throws after spraining ankle, and the scene of "hardly carrying" in confrontation countless times makes him synonymous with the league's "Defender". But this time, fate seems to no longer favor this stubborn fighter.

The Celtics' desperate situation! 1 - 3 Down + Core injury

Tatum's fall completely shattered the Celtics' last hope of turning the tables. The desperate situation of the series 1-3 requires the team to perform at a high level. Now that losing the offensive and defensive core is tantamount to injury. The home court G5 on May 15 was originally a "life-and-death battle" of the Celtics, but without Tatum's Celtics, what can we use to block the morale Knicks?

The data will not lie: Tatum averaged 30.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists per game this season, with offensive efficiency in the top 10 in the league, and his singles success rate at critical moments was as high as 62%. Losing such a "stationary needle", the Celtics will not only reduce their offensive firepower, but also have loopholes on the defensive end. What's even more cruel is that even if you advance miraculously, the high-intensity confrontation in the subsequent schedule is an insurmountable gap for the Celtics.

Injuries are more powerful than tigers, and fate is to be decided

When the hustle and bustle of Madison Square Garden returns to calm, only the tears and endless sighs of Celtic fans are left. Tatum's injury diagnosis not only determines the fate of the Celtics this season, but also touches the hearts of countless fans. We can’t help but ask: How should players’ health be protected on the road to victory? How to balance the cruelty and warmth of competitive sports?
