Double blow! Tatum retreats with injury, Celtics are reversed again, and the eastern landscape is clear

NBA playoffs continue, the fourth match between the Celtics and the Knicks series has ended, and the final result is seen. The Celtics are once again reversed by the Knicks with a big score lead. 1:3 behind and on the verge of elimination, the most important thing is that the star Tatum was injured and was carried out of the field without any confrontation in the last quarter. This made everyone present feel nervous. One of the injuries players fear the most is to appear in a state of no confrontation. Double blow! The Celtics were reversed again, Tatum retreated in injury, and the east was clear. After the

game started, the Celtics got into the state quite quickly. White made three-pointers in succession and the Knicks chased the points, Tatum also made three consecutive hits, helping the team to take a double-digit lead with a 12-0 wave. In the second quarter, although the Knicks tried to narrow the score gap with their multi-point performance, the Celtics firmly held the double-digit advantage under the leadership of Brown and Tatum. In the third quarter, Brunson scored 18 points in three single quarters, leading the team to overtake the score. Tatum still scored in the last quarter to help the team stay in a stalemate. The answer is that it lacks support from other players at critical moments. At the same time, Tatum left the court with no confrontation. The Celtics suffered a collapse and were 1:3 behind the Knicks' reverse series. The result of this game is undoubtedly a double blow to the Celtics. The first hit Celtics fell behind 1:3. For the defending champion Celtics, they defeated their opponents 4:1 in the first round of this season, but in the second round, they played very passively. G4 was leading by double digits but finally suffered a crash and was reversed by the Knicks. In this game, the team recovered from the three-point line and had already played their offensive and defensive performances that they were already good at winning. Brown scored 20 points, Tatum scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, which is definitely the best game in the playoffs this season, and White also provided great help to the team.

But the problem lies in the fact that other players have very limited help to the team. Porzingis made 2 of 6 shots and only 7 points when he came on as a substitute. At the critical moment of the final quarter, he even missed two free throws. Holiday's whole round of the series was in a sluggish state. In this game, he scored 4 points and 4 rebounds, Horford was not magically there, and 1 of 2 shots had only 5 points and 5 rebounds. Many players who are very critical to their winning have not performed well.

The second blow Tatum suffered injuries. In the last quarter, Tatum fell to the ground without confrontation. After falling to the ground, Tatum looked painful and frustrated, shook his head and kept pounding the floor. The team doctor then kept touching his Achilles tendon and calf position. According to head coach Mazula, Tatum will undergo an MRI test next. Hope there is good news. But medical experts gave their own opinions.

Medical expert Dr. Evan Jeffries knew Tatum's reaction was very bad, and hoped that this was not true. He also showed another angle shot of Tatum's injury and said that Tatum's right calf was vibrating when he stepped forward, which may be a torn Achilles tendon. After being injured, Tatum could no longer walk and left the stadium in a wheelchair. James also sent his prayers as soon as possible.

This is undoubtedly a worse injury for the Celtics who are already behind 1:3. In this way, the Celtics fell behind the Knicks 1:3, and the Cavaliers, the No. 1 in the regular season in the matchup, fell behind the Pacers 1:3. The matchup pattern in the Eastern Conference semi-finals was already very clear. After all, the chances of a team that is behind 1:3 are still very low. Next, it depends on whether they can decide on the reversal.
