Tatum: I m fully responsible for 0-2 We have to believe in our three-pointers

The Boston Celtics lost two home games in a bizarre way, and fell behind the Knicks 0-2 in the second round of the playoffs. In response, Celtics star Tatum vowed that he would play better.

"I have all the responsibility for the situation so far this round, and there is no excuse." Tatum said, "I need to play better, and I expect I will play better." So far in the series, Tatum's jump shot has been completely lost. He only hit 12 goals in 42 shots and made 5 of 20 shots from outside the three-point line. In two games, he only won 9 free throws and made 8 mistakes, including a fatal mistake in the last moment against the Knicks G2.

"Everyone has put in a lot of effort to polish their skills in order to make open shots at such a moment, but our first two games were not made." Tatum said, "But you can't lose confidence." So far in the

series, the Celtics' team made 25 of 100 shots from outside the three-point line, setting a record of two consecutive three-point shootings in the playoffs.

In addition to losing from long shots, they also encountered trouble with key balls. Tatum and Jaylen Brown made a total of 2 of 19 shots in the fourth quarter of the series. In both games, they were reversed by the Knicks when they were still leading by 20 points in the second half of the third quarter.

"You want to praise Tatum. I didn't expect him to take the initiative to take the responsibility for losing, but I think everyone is responsible." Mazula said, "We can all be better, and I can be better."

The Celtics held a video replay class today, one of the key points is to keep the players confident and not be afraid to take action. Tatum also mentioned that everyone should not be influenced by ironclads, because they won last year's championship with this large number of three-pointers and set a single-season three-point shooting record in this regular season, which helped them win 61 games.
