The Celtics set off for New York! Tatum said he was responsible for 0-2. Can the "away advantage" help turn the tables?

Basketball

On May 10, the NBA playoffs continued. According to the schedule, the Celtics will challenge the Knicks away tomorrow, and the defending champion is currently in a 0-2-departure situation. Earlier today, the Celtics stars officially set off for New York.

In the first two games of the series, the Celtics performed very badly, with their leads of more than 20 points twice, but they both suffered a crazy counterattack from the Knicks and lost the game at the last moment, then fell into a 0-2 lag. Perhaps because of the oppression brought by the big score behind, most of the Celtics players performed very seriously, and stars such as Tatum and Jaylen Brown appeared one after another.

The good news for the Celtics is that they have better away than home. Celtics reporter Sean Grande lists the playoff home and away record comparisons in the past four years (22-25): 23 wins and 16 losses at home and 22 wins and 9 losses away. In addition, the Celtics won 22 games in 31 playoff away games in these four years, tying the NBA record (the Cavaliers in 10-17 and the Warriors in 17-22).

When talking about the current situation of 0-2 lag, Jaylen Brown said: "Obviously, the situation of 0-2 lag is a bad one. But we have a great team. If I were to choose someone to complete the 0-2 turnaround, it would be our locker room team. Resilience and bloodiness are our background. We have a team that is closely united in any dilemma. Now is the time to show this: we must show the will of steel and strong psychological qualities, because we are absolutely capable of turning the situation around. It is certainly frustrating that 0-2 lag, but looking at the league, if we want to choose a team that can create miracles, it must be us. The brothers in the locker room. "

Tatum took the initiative to take responsibility in the interview. He said: "I am fully responsible for my performance in this series, and there is no need to whitewash anything. I need to do better. I look forward to me doing better. This is not the first time we have faced this situation. We have a similar dilemma before and finally found a solution. We have a game at 3:30 on Sunday, which should be very interesting. If you are a competitive person, you really should look forward to that moment."
