0-2! The defending champion's poor performance shocked everyone's jaw. Especially the team's core Tatum, the data of averaging 18 points, 15 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1 block in both games seems comprehensive, but the shooting percentage is only a bleak 28.6%, and the three-pointers are as low as 25%! The league's No. 1 small forward was beaten back to its original form!

Knicks 2-0 Celtics

play is too soft!

Tatum averaged 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6 assists per game in the regular season this season, and advanced to 29.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists in the playoffs. Judging from the data, he is the best small forward in the league! However, his overall shooting percentage in the playoffs was only 41.7%! Very inefficient, which has a lot to do with his playing style!

Tatum

The regular season was smooth, and Tatum averaged 20.3 shots per game, about half of which were three-pointers (10.1 times), a typical magic ball play. This also helped the Celtics achieve the second best record in the Eastern Conference! In the playoffs, Tatum significantly reduced three-point shots against the Magic in the first round. He averaged 23 shots per game, including 7.6 three-pointers, accounting for only 33%. The Celtics 4:1 gentleman swept the Magic!

entered the second round, against the stronger Knicks, Tatum returned to his regular season style, averaging 21 shots per game, 10 of which were three-pointers! And the hit rate is extremely low!

You must know that Tatum is the absolute core of the Celtics. This kind of playing style that is floating on the outside can lead the team to win in the regular season, but it won’t work in the fierce playoffs! The Rockets, who once performed Magic Ball to the extreme, is a typical example. At the critical moment of the playoffs, a more reliable strong mid-range shot solution will never be outdated. Tatum is known as the disciple of Mamba and clearly has this kind of ability to solve the problem with the central shot. I hope he can change his playing style in the future.
