The backcourt general tried his best on both offense and defense! Unfortunately, the performance of the two core Celtics is a disaster

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G1, the New York Knicks completed a shocking comeback and defeated the defending champion Boston Celtics who played at home 108-105. After this game, the Knicks also widened the total score of the series to 1-0, and they also regained their home advantage.

Although the Celtics lost the game, the team's starting and backcourt player Derrick White Jr. performed quite well. White played 44 minutes and 05 seconds in the whole game, made 6 of 18 shots, 5 of 16 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 19 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and also had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of 0. White looks average in shooting percentage, but considering the performance of other players on the team and considering that his shots are almost always outside the three-point line, such efficiency is not unacceptable. White is very active in rebounding, and his defensive effect is also worthy of recognition. White has played his own effects on both offense and defense, but the performance of the team's boss and second-in-command is simply terrible, and White's efforts cannot provide more help and support to the team. After all, White is not the core figure of the team, and his tactical status on the court is still relatively limited. In this case, he cannot fully play his full characteristics on the offensive end.

In the NBA regular season this season, White played 76 games in the first 82 games, averaging 33.9 minutes per game, averaging 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. In the playoffs, White averaged 38 minutes in the first six games, with averaging 17.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1 block, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 46.9%, free throw percentage, 34.5% free throw percentage, and 90.9% free throw percentage.

In fact, White's overall performance this season is remarkable, and he has performed quite stably in the regular season. In the playoffs, his performance has also been further improved on the basis of the regular season. Not only is White's offensive efficiency stable, not only has good scoring ability, but he can also provide support in passing and organization. His performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. After all, White is only the third or fourth player of the team. He can help the team hold the lower limit, but the two leading stars are still the ones who determine the upper limit of the team. I don’t know if White’s performance can be maintained at a high level in the next game, and whether the team’s two leading stars can make a breakthrough in performance.
