G6 did lose the chain, but without the backcourt general s outbreak in G5, the Celtics were eliminated long ago

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G6, the New York Knicks, who returned to their home court, defeated the Boston Celtics 119-91. After this game, the Knicks locked the total score of the series at 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. They will compete with the Indiana Pacers for a place in the finals; while the defending champion Celtics were somewhat unexpectedly eliminated in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In this game, the performance of Celtics' starting and backcourt player Derrick White also showed a significant decline. White played 30 minutes and 13 seconds in the game, made 3 of 11 shots and 2 of 8 from outside the three-point line, scoring only 8 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal, and the plus and negative value was lower than the lowest level of -45 in the game. White has no touch on the offensive end, and he has gotten a lot of opportunities to make phone calls, but he has squandered most of the shots. White's performance in passing and autonomous offense is equally unsatisfactory, and his performance in this area is also very poor. Not only that, as an excellent outside defender, White's contribution to the defensive end is also seriously insufficient. White was unable to show his value on both offense and defense in this game. His condition was really bad, which largely led to a crushing defeat in the team.

In the NBA regular season this season, White played 76 games in the first 82 games, averaging 33.9 minutes per game, averaging 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. In the playoffs, White averaged 37.7 minutes in these 11 games, with averaging 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 46.3% from the field, 38.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 86.1% from free throws.

White also maintained a very good level during the playoffs. His scoring ability is quite good, he also has certain passing and organizational skills, and he can also play a key role on the defensive end. White is also able to keep his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage at a stable level, which is not easy. The Celtics' ability to get to this point is also closely related to White's series of outstanding performances. If White hadn't had a big explosion in G5, even the Celtics wouldn't have needed to play this game. Any player may experience ups and downs in form, not to mention that White is not the core figure of the team. His overall performance is already quite good, but the Celtics' core players have failed to assume the tasks they should undertake, and the team's tactical play is too simple and mechanized, which is the key factor for the team's lack of competitiveness during the playoffs.
