After many rounds of hard battles in the Eastern and Western Conference playoffs, Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics successfully met in the finals. The Green Army did not encounter many obstacles on their way to promotion in the Eastern Conference. , coupled with the habit of being invisible in key battles, many fans were optimistic about the prospect of Doncic and Irving leading the Mavericks to win the championship before the game. However, after the first two finals, the Mavericks were away from home. After two consecutive losses, the Celtics have taken a big 2-0 lead. Judging from the performances of both sides, the championship is already beckoning to the Celtics. The Mavericks have the only hope of coming back to win the championship. , it is Tatum's selfishness that disrupts the Celtics' overall offense. In addition, with the performance of the Mavericks in the first two games, it is difficult to reach the top of the NBA this season!
The weakness of the inside line and Irving's inner demons make the Mavericks' prospects worrying.
Putting aside the scores of the two games and just looking at the performance of both sides on the court, the possibility of the Lone Ranger coming back to win the championship is very slim. The first is that the inside line is too disadvantaged. Big, with the Celtics starting two consecutive games with veteran prospect Horford, the Mavericksā inside line didnāt even have the slightest advantage. The lack of self-help offensive ability cannot be solved in the short term, and Porzingis To lead the second team will make the gap between the two sides even wider.
In addition, Uncle Drew Irving, who tied everything in the Western Conference playoffs, lost his divine dominance in the finals. In the first game, he only scored 10 points on 6-of-19 shooting. In this game, he only scored 7-of-18 points. He scored 16 points and faced Irving, who had lost 12 consecutive games to the Celtics. He already had his own inner demons. Coupled with the Celtics' super-intensive defense, Irving had a chance of killing everyone in the next game. No big deal. Under such circumstances, it is tantamount to wishful thinking for the Mavericks to rely on Doncic to single-handedly lead the team to a comeback.
Tatum's selfishness has become the only hidden danger for the Celtics in the championship.
When the Mavericks' own problems cannot be solved, their only hope is to reverse and win the championship. The Celtics make mistakes, and Tatum is now the green star. The only hidden danger for the Army is that after the conference finals, Jaylen Brown won the Eastern Conference Finals FMVP, which already gave Tatum an idea. Jaylen Brown's performance in the first game of the Finals even defeated Tatum. After the game, the Mavericks head coach Kidd even praised Brown as the Celtics' best player.
Tatum was stimulated. It was obvious that he wanted to prove himself in the second game, but it backfired. He hit 6 goals in 22 shots in the game and only scored 18 points. His personal performance was once again overshadowed by Jaylen Brown. , if this trend follows, once the Celtics win the championship, Tatum is destined to miss FMVP. As the boss of the team, he certainly does not want such a situation to happen, so in the next finals, Tatum only needs to take crazy shots If they strive for good data, the Celtics' overall offense will become unsmooth, giving the Mavericks a chance to make a comeback.
Now that the first two games of the Finals have ended, the next two teams will move to Dallas. If Doncic and Irving want to maintain the suspense of the team's championship, they cannot afford to miss the third Finals. Will Tatum be there? Selfishness is at work, helping the Eastern European combination win back a victory, let's wait and see!
