The probability of the Celtics turning around is only 14.3%! Tatum made 12 of 12 in the final quarter of the two games, no wonder Cole abandoned him in the Olympics

Another 20-point lead was reversed, and another death steal was staged by the Bridge, and the double Tanhua was deeply touched. TD Garden Arena became a place for the Knicks to write miracles and became a stage for their carnival. Tatum and Jaylen Brown were disappointing again. In this game, Tatum made 5 of 19 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, scored 13 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. Jaylen Brown made 8 of 23 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, and made 6 turnovers. The offensive efficiency of the two men is still very poor. Tatum made 7 of 23 shots in the first game and made 4 of 15 three-pointers. After two games, his shooting percentage was 28.6% and his three-point shooting percentage was 25.0%. Brown made 7 of 20 shots in the first game, made 1 of 10 three-pointers, and shot 34.9% from the field and 17.6% from three-pointers in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
The Celtics' Double Tanhua performed particularly poorly in the final quarter. In the past two games, the Celtics have only 9 of 45 shots in the fourth quarter, and no player scored more than two goals in the sports game. Among them, Tatum made 1 of 12, Brown made 1 of 7, Pritchard made 2 of 5, White made 1 of 7, Holiday made 2 of 5, Porzingis made 1 of 2, Horford made 1 of 6, and Cornett made 0 of 1. The Celtics lost two home courts in a row, and the situation became very unfavorable. According to statistics, NBA history (since the implementation of the 7-game 4-win system) has previously had 35 away teams in the first two games of the series, with 30 teams successfully winning the series, with the probability of advancing as high as 85.7%.
In other words, the probability of the defending champion turning around in the Eastern Conference semifinals is only 14.3%. Double Tanhua's performance at this critical moment in the series was indeed extremely bad. For comparison, Knicks core Brunson also felt cold in the first three quarters, but he ushered in a recovery in the final quarter of this game, hitting a three-pointer to catch the score to 80-86. With 1 minute and 59 seconds left in the final quarter, his mid-range shot helped the Knicks surpass the Celtics 87-86. With 56.1 seconds left, he scored a layup to expand his lead. With 12.1 seconds left in the game, Brunson made both free throws and overtook the Celtics by 1 point.
Both Tatum and Jaylen Brown were not ruthless enough at critical moments. Tatum continued to perform poorly, and some people recalled that the head coach of the US men's basketball team, Cole, hidden Tatum during the Paris Olympics. At that time, many people criticized Cole for not using Tatum.
Kor does not use Tatum, which means he does not trust Tatum enough. Now it seems that Cole may have some reason to distrust Tatum. Although Tatum is already a champion player, he still lacks domineering and murderous aura at the decisive moment. Tatum's bad performance has sparked controversy on social media and has encountered crazy complaints.
"The past is over. We must be ready for the next game and make sure my teammates are ready for the third game. Relax, take a deep breath, and play in the style of our Celtics. We can tie the score." Jaylen Brown said after the game.
The Celtics were too superstitious about the three-pointers and paid the price, and Tatum and Brown actually had other offensive methods. The Celtics also have many offensive firepower points. They have a lot of weapons, but the Celtics need to stimulate the energy of the Double Tanhua as soon as possible to get them out of the predicament.
