G2 Preview: The Celtics fought against the ground at home. Can the Knicks continue the "Less than &quot" myth?

1. Game background and G1 review: 20-point reversal creates history, and the heart attack of Celtics fans is about to occur

1. Series situation: Shura Field with a speed of life and death

When the Celtics entered the playoffs with a regular season sweep of the Knicks 4-0, no one expected G1 to evolve into a "horror movie" - the Celtics, who played at home, were once led by 20 points, but they made 60 crazily shot the iron 60 times (three-point 45 iron) in the final quarter + overtime, and were finally completed by the Knicks 108-105. Now the Celtics are facing a cruel reality: since the NBA divisional semi-finals reform, the team that was 0-1 behind at home has only 11.8% chance of final promotion, and the Knicks have already seized the initiative of "poison strategy".

2. G1 key data: Celtics sleepwalking in the last quarter, all the Knicks are evil

Celtics' confusing behavior reward:

Last quarter + overtime total 21 points (only 4 points in the last 8 minutes of regular time)

Tatum made 19 in the critical period, 15 of 60 three-pointers (25% shooting percentage)

Porzingis played for only 24 minutes and left the court because of "physical discomfort "

Knicks changed their fate against the will of the sky Elements:

Brunson + Anunobi scored 58 points in a combined 17 three-pointers in the final quarter, and made 10 of 19 offensive rebounds (Hart scored 6 by one)

7 players rotated and played for 48 minutes (Hart's playing time set a playoff record)

2. G2 winner: The Celtics rely on "The Resurrection Technique", the Knicks should not let Brunson play heartbeat again

1. Celtics first aid kit: three moves to save the home face

The three-point team was disbanded on the spot: G1's 60 three-point shots can be called "performance art", G2 must learn from the opponent - the Knicks made 17 of 37 three-pointers in the game, with a shooting percentage of 45.9%. Holiday + White, the defensive experts, must turn on the "Death Entanglement Mode" and strangle Brunson's average of 31.1 points per game in the cradle.

The Miracle of the Resurrection of the Pope God: Porzingis, who missed G1 due to a knee injury, confirmed to play. This space-type inside player, who averaged 18.9 points per game, is the ultimate weapon to crack the Knicks' five-square lineup.

Double Tanhua opens "Redification mode ": Tatum needs to prove that he is not "Soft-footed shrimp " at critical moments, and Brown wants to retrieve the 44.4% three-pointers in the first round (1 of G1 three-pointers is too eye-catching).

2. Knicks' life-saving strategy: Injury + rotation Russian roulette

Brunson's knee alarm: Super core with 31+7+4 per game plays full time with knee pads. If G2 is killed, Thibodeau may have to prepare for "wheelchair tactics".

Downs' pick-and-roll nightmare: Faced with Horford's movement speed, Downs has to develop new skills - either learn from Jokic as the support axis, or become a "middle-range killer" (the regular season shooting percentage against the Celtics is 43%).

The savior of the bench: McBride, who averaged 4.9 points per game, has to transform into the "Shocks". After all, the Celtics' substitute averaged 21.4 points per game is not a vegetarian.

3. Metaphysical time: Is there really a "curse" at home in the Celtics? Can Brunson be the "key gentleman"?

1. The Critical Strike of the Data Party

The Celtics averaged 16.3 points per game to sweep the Knicks, but they were slapped in the face in the first game of the playoffs - the home advantage in the district semi-finals = false proposition (in the past 10 years, the home teams of 0-1 teams in the district semi-finals only 3 teams turned the tables).

Tatum made 3 of 15 shots in his key playoffs in his career, and was jokingly called "Mr. Key" by fans. If he loses his chain again this time, Boston's "team soul" title may be changed to "team cowardly".

2. The power of superstition

Knicks G1 reversed, Hart's overtime steal + blocked 11 seconds before the final game, perfectly replicating the 2016 Ray Allen Redemption Moment.

The "21-point curse" is circulating in the Celtics locker room - it was tied for 20+ 7 times this season, with 5 of them losing the game in the end.

4. Winning and Loss Script Prediction: Two scripts, one truth

Script A: The Celtics' three-pointers awaken, the Pole dominates the inside

Celtics' three-point shooting rate rebounds to 35%+, Porzingis scored 20+10

Tatum took over the game in the last quarter, Holiday locked Brunson

Score prediction: The Celtics reversed 115-108, the Pole God is happy "Resurrection MVP "

Script B: The Knicks continue the miracle, the Battle of Brunson's Gods

Towns beat Horford, Anunobi's 7 three-pointers

Brunson scored another 15+ in the last quarter, Hart steals + Foul-making a final score prediction: Knicks won another game 112-107, Celtic fans collectively had a heart attack

5. Ultimate conclusion: This is basketball, and it is also a psychological battle

When the lights of the Boston Garden Arena light up, the tactical boards of the two teams were full of games:

Udu got to solve the curse of "leading 20 points and being powered off", Mazula's "magic ball theory" needs to be upgraded

Thibodeau's "seven-man rotation" can withstand the depth of the Celtics, and whether Brunson's knee can support 48 minutes

This game is not only a contest of technical and tacticality, but also an ultimate test of psychological toughness. The Celtics need to regain their dignity as the defending champion, while the Knicks have to prove that "the dog counterattack" is not metaphysics. Regardless of the outcome, this is destined to be one of the craziest series in NBA playoff history - after all, who can refuse a roller coaster ride "from heaven to hell to heaven"?
