He once again defended the Knicks backcourt core! Is the Celtics performance in the gate quite stable?

Basketball

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G3, the Boston Celtics, who had previously lagged behind 0-2, easily defeated the New York Knicks who returned to home with 115-93. After this game, the Celtics won a goal and they tied the total score of the series to 1-2. It seems that this round of series still has great suspense.

In this game, Celtics' starting and backcourt player Jrue Holiday also maintained sufficient competitiveness. Holiday played 24 minutes and 46 seconds in the game, made 3 of 4 shots and 2 of 3 points from outside the three-point line, scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, and had 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, with plus or negative values ​​of +8. Holiday didn't make many shots on the offensive end, but he also showed good shooting ability and seized the opportunity and got a lot of points. Not only that, Holiday also showed outstanding passing and organizing skills. Holiday also completed effective defense against his opponent's backcourt core Jalen Brunson on the defensive end. Holiday has played his value on both sides of the offense and defense. His data does not seem particularly eye-catching, but his efforts are also an important factor in making the team able to defeat their opponents in such a key game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Holiday made a total of 62 appearances in 82 games, averaging 30.6 minutes per game, averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 35.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 90.9%. In the playoffs, Holiday played 5 games in the first eight games, averaging 33.4 minutes per game, averaging 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 2.6 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 53.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 36.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 83.3%.

Holiday's performance during the playoffs was quite eye-catching. His number of shots and tactical status actually declined to a certain extent than the regular season stage, but his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage have improved significantly compared with the regular season stage. The most important thing is that Holiday needs to take on a lot of responsibilities on the defensive end, and he also needs to limit the core characters of his opponent. It is not easy to maintain sufficient competitiveness in this situation. Holiday's performance is already excellent enough, but his ball and tactical position are there, and it is indeed difficult for him to have a greater impact on the game in this case. In this game, the two-person state of the two-person children recovered, and the Celtics' competitiveness has also been greatly improved.
