The regular season sweep 4-0, and the first round was easily advanced 4-1! But it became an overrated team, and you may be the time to break up.

This year's NBA playoffs are very exciting, partly because the referee's dictation scale has become loose, and the confrontation has been encouraged. In addition, a group of young defensive teams disrupted the game in the playoffs, making the game very intense, full of gunpowder, and it feels like the league more than ten years ago. However, the intensity of the confrontation and the tight schedule also increase the risk of players being injured during the game. Many stars have been injured in this playoffs. Lillard suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the first round. Antetokounmpo's single core lead was unable to support him. The Bucks were helplessly swept by the Pacers gentleman. If it is a healthy "face" duo, the playoffs are still very competitive. Curry suffered a hamstring strain in the second round, which caught the Warriors off guard and was disorganized. After Curry was injured, the Warriors experienced a three-game losing streak and were directly beaten by the opponent.

Curry's injury may be a turning point in the Western Conference Division of the playoffs. The Western giants were wiped out, and the three traffic teams of Huyong Boat all went home to fish. However, the Warriors still have a last glimmer of hope. Once they survived G5, Curry had a chance to complete his comeback in G6. Among these injured stars in the playoffs, perhaps the most tragic one is Tatum. Tatum played an extremely efficient game against the Knicks' G4, scoring 42 points and 8 rebounds, but was injured in the most critical quarter of the game and was then taken out of the field. On the way back to the locker room in a wheelchair, Tatum covered his face and cried bitterly, feeling a lot of unwillingness in his heart. It is estimated that he also knew that his injury was very serious this time. After the game, Tatum was diagnosed with a torn Achilles tendon and underwent surgical treatment as soon as possible. According to the recovery cycle of a torn Achilles tendon, it is hard to say whether he can return next season.

The Celtics also collapsed in the series against the Knicks. According to their hard strength, the Celtics are definitely much stronger than the Knicks. First of all, the lineup depth of both sides is not the same level. The Celtics have long been known for their own attacks. While the five starting players have the All-Star strength, there are many scoring points on the bench, such as Prichard and Hauser, who scored 30+ points in a single game during the regular season. Secondly, as the defending champions last season, the Celtics have always had a strong cultural heritage of a strong team. Since joining the team, the two have never missed the playoffs and have rich playoff experience. Finally, in the regular season situation between the two sides, the Celtics also easily swept and crushed 4-0, including facing the dark horse magic in the first round of the playoffs. At that time, the Celtics could continue their super competitive state and easily advance to the second round 4-1.

However, in the second round, the Celtics were exposed. Before Tatum was injured, they still lost the first two games, revealing many shortcomings. For example, the team is not disciplined and is prone to relax their vigilance when leading. They were reversed by their opponents by 20 points in both games, which also shows that the team lacks a tough spiritual leader like Butler and Zhu Meng. Tatum has a strong personal willpower, but he is still almost certain in terms of driving the team. For example, the offensive choice is relatively single. Since winning the championship last year, the Celtics have become more and more fond of shooting three-pointers in the game. During the regular season, their outside output ranks among the top, which actually has both advantages and disadvantages. Scores are too dependent on the feel, just like learning to walk on Handan, and they will forget other offensive methods. In the first two games of the game lost to the Knicks, the Celtics made a total of 25 of 100 three-pointers, setting a record of missing three-pointers in two consecutive games, including hitting the critical moment of the game. When the score was very tight, Tatum's choice was to shoot high-difficulty three-pointers on the periphery, rather than hitting the basket to seek damage. This cost-effective offensive method is more cost-effective. This is why, although from paper, the Celtics are better than the Knicks, the actual result is the opposite. This year's Celtics are indeed overrated. Not only in terms of the game style, but also from the player level, there are also many core characters who are regressing. Like the second-in-commander Jaylen Brown, he averaged only 21.9 points per game this year and shot 43.7% from the field, 8 percentage points lower than last season. The one who has fallen even bigger is Porzingis, averaging 20 points per game in the regular season and 8.9 points per game in the playoffs.

Sweeping the Knicks 4-0 in the regular season, defeating the Magic 4-1 in the first round, and approaching elimination with the Knicks in the second round, becoming the most overrated team this year's playoffs. If the Celtics stop in the second round like this, then they will probably have a blood-changing lineup by the offseason, and even at the cost of trading core players. Because their lineup is too expensive, the annual salary of the five starters will exceed US$200 million next season. Double Tanhua is already the most expensive duo in NBA history. One contract is 304 million for 5 years and the other contract is 314 million for 5 years, which is too exaggerated. It would be fine if the salary and strength matched. The key is that Brown has 304 million in five years. Isn’t it a bit of a big talk? It’s too premium? Brown averages only 22 points per game in the regular season. This is the second largest contract in history. His personal ability has to rank among the top ten in the current service.

In addition, Tatum is likely to be fully reimbursed next season. The Celtics also have veterans facing retirement nodes such as Holiday and Horford. Considering the team's future development, their championship lineup may also be disbanded. I wonder if the Celtics in the next few years will continue to continue their strong team style?
