Mazula surrendered 13 minutes and 49 seconds in advance! Brown lost suspense with 6 fouls early, White Holiday made 4 of 19

On May 17, the Knicks defeated the Celtics and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a score of 4-2. This is a one-sided game. The Knicks led Green Kai as much as 27 points in the first half. The gap between the two teams has widened to 30+ in the third quarter. With 1 minute and 49 seconds left in the third quarter, Mazula has given up the game and replaced it with all substitutes, which means that Mazula gave up the game 13 minutes and 49 seconds in advance.

It feels like Brown is the only one fighting in the whole first half. The picture above can perfectly interpret the rhythm of the game. Tatum is still recovering from his injuries, and Brown is slumped on the ground. Brown scored 13 points in the first quarter and the rest of his teammates had a total of 7 points. In the first half, Green Kai had a total of 37 distributions, Lang scored 18 points by himself. Thibodeau saw that Green Kai was the only Brown could score points, so he doubled the team, which also caused Brown to make 6 mistakes in the first half.

Lukai general manager Stevens sat under the court with expressionless expression. He might also know that he was powerless to turn things around. Holiday made 1 of 8 in the half, White made 1 of 7 in the half, Porzingis made 1 of 4 in the half, Prichard made 0 of 3 in the half, and Hauser made 0 of 2 in the half, what room can there be for such a Green Kai to redirect?

White finally made two three-pointers at the beginning of the third quarter, but Brunson immediately responded with a three-pointer, Bridges also made a jump shot from the turnover, and Mazula continued to pause. Brown took his sixth foul with 2 minutes and 50 seconds left. He was substituted for 20+6+6+6+6 fouls + 7 mistakes in 31 minutes in three quarters. The difference between the two teams did not change much. With 1 minute and 49 seconds left, Mazula surrendered directly. He replaced the full substitute combination of Prichard, Hauser, Craig, Tillman and Cornett.

The last quarter is equivalent to the training moment for the two teams, but in order to stabilize the situation, Thibodeau still let Hart, Bridges and Brunson lead the team to play. Green Kai has already claimed the loss, and the game is over.

The Celtics' core Brown scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 fouls and 7 mistakes, Horford scored 10 points, Holiday scored 4 points in 18 shots, and White scored 3 of 11 shots, 8 points and 2 assists. Holiday + White made 4 of 19 shots.
