38 points defeat, 2-4 out of shame! Sliding from the championship and being disbanded, you can only destroy the team and rebuild it

Basketball

The NBA playoff semi-finals reached the end of the final stage. On the Western Conference side, the Timberwolves eliminated the Warriors 4-1 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals first. The Thunder and the Nuggets tied 3-3; On the Eastern Conference side, the Pacers eliminated the Cavaliers 4-1. In today's game, the Knicks returned to home court, defeated the Celtics 119-81, and eliminated the defending champion! First of all, congratulations to the Knicks, who reached the Eastern Conference Final again after 24 years. During the offseason, they exchanged Bridges for the first round, including sending Randle away for Towns. The starting lineup framework was tailor-made for the Celtics. Although they were swept 0-4 by their opponents in the regular season, in the playoffs, the Knicks not only returned to home and earned an extra game of tickets (more than 20 million in income), but also successfully took revenge! The Celtics were broken up and had to be rebuilt! In the

G4, Tatum suffered a serious injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon. The team quickly made a decision and immediately performed surgery, which would allow Tatum to achieve the best recovery effect in biomechanics + microstructure. However, even if you finally recover completely, it will take at least 10 months, and it usually takes 6-12 months from the complete recovery of the Achilles tendon to restore the competitive state. Durant was a typical example at the beginning. Although he returned after a serious Achilles tendon injury for one year, he was easily injured again and stopped fighting. Obviously, the Celtics will not have any competitiveness next season, because Jaylen Brown, as a FMVP, has no ability to lead the team at all! In the life-and-death battle in G6, Jaylen Brown played for 32 minutes, with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 turnovers, plus 6 fouls.

Celtics are a shameful exit in this round of series! In his two home courts, he was reversed by the Knicks 20 points in a row. On the one hand, he underestimated the opponent too much and always wanted to defeat the opponent in one breath and kept throwing three-pointers. However, as long as the three-pointer feels bad, the team's offense quickly became silent, not once or twice, but the Celtics have no alternative! Especially in the G2 game, Tatum rushed to the basket and did not dare to hesitate to pass the ball, but was blocked by Bridges! When Tatum fell, the Celtics' cap became Jaylen Brown. Jaylen Brown's positioning is the ability to disrupt the battle in the connection stage. His offensive and defensive pressure is much smaller than that of Tatum, but when he really reaches the regular counterattack stage, he makes many mistakes, has poor double-teaming effect, and has no lethality in holding the ball.

It was also from the time when the Celtics gave Jaylen Brown a 5-year, 306 million super maximum salary contract, that it laid the groundwork for the current ending: Tatum's 5-year, 315 million super maximum salary must be given. Although the Celtics won the championship last season, the former boss quickly cashed out at a high level, leaving the current one with $6.1 billion to the current one. The current one is also unable to support the team's spending more than $500 million next season, because Jaylen Brown's 53.14 million + Tatum's 54.13 million occupies 107 million salary space. In addition, Porzinski gradually became an outsider in the playoffs, giving him a chance to be useless, without confrontation or killing, and the infection of unknown virus lasted for a long time, with a $30.73 million next season. The Celtics hoped not to pay back when they sent him away.

Celtics were indeed broken up by the Knicks. The Celtics have entered the playoffs for 11 consecutive years. Mazula's three seasons have led the team, and the results this year were the worst. It was previously guaranteed to be the Eastern Conference Finals and even the Finals. The Celtics were eliminated and allowed the Knicks to win 38 points, which also helped the Knicks break the biggest winning score difference in the team's history! Several high-paid stars in the Celtics all lost their life and death battles: White, who scored $20 million, scored 8 points and 2 assists, and lost 45 points on the field! White has 4 years and 126 million yuan of contracts not executed! Holiday, who scored $30 million, scored 1 of 8 shots, only 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. He couldn't defend against Brunson and was named by Bridges and Anunobi. Last year, the Celtics won the championship, and Holiday made a great contribution. The decline this season is indeed too fast!

In addition, Horford + Connett's contract expires this summer. Without renewal, the Celtics expects a total salary of US$231 million (including the salary of a first-round pick), far exceeding the second-rich line of US$207.8 million. They cannot use the full middle class, and the transaction cannot package players. They can only sign people with a minimum salary. The estimated luxury tax is US$263 million! If you fill the 15-man roster with a basic salary, the team will definitely spend more than 500 million (the next time you sign a basic salary player, you will need to pay a luxury tax of 25 million yuan)! But what competitiveness is this 500 million formation? Even if Tatum is there, the double-Tanhua does not have the ability to stand up at critical moments. All players rely too much on the three-point magic ball style, and no one has the ability to hold the ball and break the game.

According to Boston media, the process of Celtic reconstruction has been infinitely advanced because of Tatum's injury and the team's high luxury tax pressure. From Porzingis to Holiday, you may have to leave. The team also needs to add blue-collar centers with projection capabilities in the interior and wings with 3D attributes. But to take a step back, can the Celtics quickly return to the championship ranks when Tatum comes back? In fact, it’s time to disassemble the double-Tanhua. Just leave a Tatum. This summer, you can try to use Jaylen Brown to pursue some top stars, even if you post a few more first-round picks.
