Death is here! How many life and death codes are hidden behind the Celtics’ counterattack in desperate situations?

At the Boston TD Garden Arena on May 15, there was a sense of nearly suffocating tension in the air. The Celtics are 1-3 behind the Knicks and are only one step away from being eliminated. What's even more fatal is that their star Tatum suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon at the last moment of G4 and was reimbursed for the season - this bad news is like the sword of Damocles hanging above the Celtics' head, silencing the entire city. Before the game, ESPN predicted that the Celtics' winning rate was only 41.4%, while the Knicks' away record was a terrifying 5 wins and 0 losses. But Bostonians know that this is a war that must be won. As Jaylen Brown said before the game: "Everyone in our locker room can stand up." At the beginning of the game, the Knicks' Bridges first broke the ice with a single, but the Celtics' response was like a thunderbolt - Derek White scored 4 three-pointers in the first quarter and scored 14 points alone! This defender, who was dubbed "Baidi" by Chinese fans, ignited the home court with his hot touch. However, the New Yorker was not panicked. Hart was elbowed by Connett at the basket and the referee only called a controversial penalty for ordinary fouls, igniting the smell of gunpowder on both sides. After the first quarter, the Knicks took the lead by 2 points (32-30), but everyone smelled an unusual smell: on the Celtics' bench, Connet had sent three hot pots, as if previewing the arrival of a defensive storm. In the early stage of the quarter, the Knicks once pulled the score difference to 9 points with Towns' strong attack. In a critical moment, Jaylen Brown stood up. He first made a three-pointer and then made a breakthrough dunk, scoring 12 points in a single quarter. At the end of the half, the two sides tied at 59. On the data board at this time, Brown had an all-round performance of 17+7+6, White scored 19 points + 5 three-pointers, while Knicks' Brunson and Hart scored a total of 28 points - this is destined to be an epic battle between superstars and bombing.

The side changes again, and the situation on the field suddenly changes. White completely "runs" in the third quarter: he first hit his seventh three-pointer, then made a three-pointer foul and made all three free throws, and scored 13 points in a single quarter! What's even more terrifying is the Celtics' team offensive - Prichard and Holiday fired one after another, and a 25-11 shock wave stretched the score difference to 15 points. On the defensive end, Connett was like a demon at the basket, sending five blocks in a single quarter, including two consecutive blows of Towns' strong attack, completely defeating the Knicks' confidence in the inside.

entered the final quarter with a 15-point advantage, and the Celtics did not give their opponents any chance. Horford's three-pointer, Holiday's breakthrough, Prichard's cold arrow... the score difference quickly widened to 25 points. When Brunson left the game with 6 fouls in seven minutes before the final game, fans in Madison Square Garden might have been trembling - the New York hero who averaged 30.2 points per game in the series, only scored 22 points in this game, plus or negative value -18. The final whistle sounded, and the score was frozen at 127-102. The Celtics used 22-point shooting (44.9% shooting percentage), setting a single three-point record for this season's playoffs.
