The Star of the Field: Morris Sets Down
Morris recently described himself as one of the best defenders in the league against James, second only to Kehuan Leonard of the Spurs. Today, Morris successfully defended against James. James made 15 of 16 shots and scored 15 points. He also made 7 turnovers. This is undoubtedly his worst playoff game this season. However, Morris also made a major contribution on the offensive end. He scored 21 points and 10 rebounds. He shot 7 of 7 shots up to 58.3%.
Post-game speech
At the press conference after the game, Celtic coach Brad Stevens was very calm and he greatly appreciated Al Horford's performance in the field. "Each minute of every day, no matter where we are Al Horford was particularly important for what he did. Later, Stevens said, "His defense is great. He has done a good job in defending. He helped a lot. You know, he is the cornerstone of our team. We It depends on him."
Morris talked about James' defense. "This is the team's efforts, not just me. Everyone has contributed to defending him."
Greens star Paul Pierce also pointed out that the weakness of his teammates made LeBron James alone. He quipped, "If LeBron doesn't get 40+15+16, the Cavaliers will have no chance."
In terms of the Cavaliers, James was helpless in the game's three-pointers. "The three-pointer is like a part of our DNA. It gives us the opportunity to be the desired one, even if we have crazy opportunities for space at first." But the ball just doesn't advance. I think there are many good opportunities for JR, Korver, and George Hill in the first quarter. But we can't back it up. We didn't comment on it. We can't afford to miss this opportunity in the second game."
JR Smith said: "We didn't hit those three-pointers. We have to find a solution. We must help James and not rely on him to do everything. As a rotation player, we need to play our own value."
Zhanhuang Fupan
In the interview after the game, LeBron James showed a memory talent under the reporter's question. He refined his analysis for the fourth quarter.
James said: "In the first round, we went all out and Marcus Morris missed a jump shot when we were about to whistle. We blew it up and let them deduct it directly. We continued to fight back, Jordan - Clarkson missed the shot and they grabbed the rebound. We have to go back to our side to play defense. We have to stop the offensive. At this time they are going to make a fuss about the bottom line. Jason Tatum gets the ball to the corner of Sma. Special, he hit a three-pointer, we fight back again, or did not enter. Then Tatum took another European right hand layup, followed by a pause."

Race Review: Celtics win over knights

In the first quarter of the game to 9 minutes and 18 seconds, James scored a penalty, the Cavaliers played a 7-4 start. After Morris hit a three-pointer, he officially opened the Celtics' offensive climax. In the first quarter, with 2 minutes and 40 seconds left, Baines succeeded in passing the ball to make a layup. The Celtics completed a wave. The 25-2 offensive has reached a 29-9 lead. After the first quarter, the Celtics are still 18 points ahead of the 36-18, which is the largest difference in James' playoffs finals. In this section, the Cavaliers shot only 31.8% of their 22 shots on 22 shots. The Celtics shot 63.6% from the field with 22 shots. Among them, Brown scored 13 points and Horford scored 11 points.
The Celtics' offensive efficiency has declined in the second quarter, but the Cavaliers' performance has not improved. In this section, Hood starts with a three-pointer, but the Cavaliers' flash is just a flash in the pan. In this quarter, with 4:47 remaining, Smart moves the basket and the Celtics complete a 7- The small climax of 0 scored a 20+ points lead with 49-27. Since then, the Celtics have extended their lead to 28 points. At the end of the half, they made a 61-35 lead. The Cavaliers made 0-for-12 shots from the three-point line in the first half, and the 26-point difference was James's biggest halftime difference in playoff career.
The Cavaliers' offense finally improved in the third quarter, which also allowed them to score points for recovery. This season, the Celtics took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the court. James then broke the dunk. Then he assisted Korver with a three-pointer. With 2 minutes and 18 seconds left in this section, James scored three points on Baines. The Cavaliers chased the score to 58-75. This section of the knight's momentum is obviously different. In the last one and a half minutes of this section, they forced the Celtics to lose one point. With Green hitting the buzzer, the Cavaliers finished a wave of 6-0 dribbles. At the end of this section, chase the score to 64-78.
However, the Cavaliers did not maintain their momentum of recovery points. In the fourth quarter, the Celtics played a 7-0 start to obtain a 20+ points lead again with 85-64. The Celtics' offensive seems to have completely defeated the Cavaliers. Morris scored three points with 5 minutes and 19 seconds remaining. The Celtics pulled the score to 101-72. The game has completely lost suspense so far, and eventually the Celtics 108-83 victory over the Cavaliers, won the opener of the Eastern Conference finals series.
