20-point reversal! 3 major shame records were set in one battle, and the defending champion semi-finals became a big joke

On May 8, in the G2 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals of the NBA playoffs, the defending champion Celtics played against the Knicks at home. The first game was reversed, and the defending champion got into the state early this time, but the team fell into a slump again afterwards, and the advantage of 20 points was caught up step by step. Tatum scored 4 points in a row to overtake, but Brunson completed the final shot, and in the end, the Celtics lost to the Knicks 90-91, and fell behind 0-2 with a big score.

The result is quite surprising. Unexpectedly, the defending champion lost all the first two games of the semi-finals, and was reversed by 20 points. He lost all of his two consecutive home games, and fell behind 0-2 with a big score. Next, the Celtics will go to New York. Once they lose one game, they will face the situation of being eliminated, which means they have fallen into a passive situation, and the next goal is to win.

encountered a 20-point reversal again. The Celtics also set a new record of three major shame, becoming the first team in history to suffer a 20-point reversal at home in two consecutive games; and in the first two games, the Celtics lost a total of 75 three-pointers, which is also the most record in history to lose two consecutive games; and the Celtics also became the background board, and are the only team in history to suffer two 20+ reversals in a single playoff.

I thought the defending champion would be the only one in the Eastern Conference playoffs. After all, they showed super strength in the regular season, but they didn't expect to fall into a passive situation in the playoffs and lost their three-pointers in the first round. Fortunately, they can continue to attack the inside. But now the Knicks' lineup depth is obviously better than the Magic. As their three-pointers are not accurate, their lead is constantly approaching, and they eventually suffered a tragic reversal in two consecutive games. The next thing depends on their ability to adjust.

At least for now, the defending champion has become a big joke in the semi-finals and is no longer a favorite to win the league. In the first two games of the semi-finals, Tatum's performance was also very bad. He could not find a good way to defend against the Knicks' forward line. This time, the last attack was blocked again and missed the opportunity to save the team. Now the Celtics have come to the cliff, and if they lose another game, they will be on the edge of the cliff, and they have no way out.
