！！！！！！！

In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, where nothing but exclamations come out, the Heat, who had been pushed throughout the game, turned around with Jimmy Butler’s free throw with 3 seconds left, but Derrick White made a buzzer beater. He scored a tip shot and brought the Celtics the 4th team in history to win 3 straight games from 3 straight losses.

The Heat dropped Kevin Love and added Caleb Martin, who has been in good form in the series, to the starter. Not only did he score 21 points and 15 rebounds, which is a great performance that remains in the stats, but the individual defense that suppressed Jayson Tatum’s field goal success rate to 38%, and the chase defense worked as the whole team sped up, and the Celtics 3-point shot Succeeded in reducing the success rate to 20%. The heat correction shined, and it became a low score.

From the Celtics’ point of view, they were able to stop 3-point shots from the corners of 16 in Game 4 and 12 in Game 5. Originally, there should have been no problem if Tatum and Jaylen Brown could break through the drive because they have spacing that expands the defense even if they can’t hit. Scored 57 points. However, Tatum’s bad habit of wanting to choose a step-back 3-point shot instead of a drive, and he missed all eight attempts and couldn’t get into the rhythm.

Head coach Joe Mazura repeatedly used timeouts to correct Tatum’s poor play choices, but even after getting back in good shape and taking the lead, he returned to bad form again. In the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters, there were scenes where they had a 10-point lead, but they didn’t break away from it, and it was brought to the end with a close game.

Caleb and Duncan Robinson scored 13 points off the Heat’s offense, while their constant off-ball movement disrupted the Celtics’ role players. , Ace Jimmy Butler was read all of the play by Brown and White, and the field goal success rate was a terrible situation with 15% until the end of the game. In order to fix the situation that was too bad, the heat was driven more than the point difference, such as using 3 timeouts in the 2th quarter alone.

However, the match was thrown into chaos by Butler’s outstanding performance, scoring 13 points in the remaining four minutes. When the matchup turned to Marcus Smart, he scored like a breather, and with 3 seconds remaining, he forced a shot from his own fumble and turned the game around with a foul draw. . It seemed that he had grabbed the ticket to the final with a solid clutch time that could be called “Butler’s true value.”

The Celtics prepared to let Tatum hit on the last play, but Max Struth, who was marking the throw-in, erased the pass course to Tatum with a sense of double teaming, and Smart scored a desperate 3-pointer. I decided to shoot. At this time, White, who made a throw-in, jumped into the rebound without hesitation at the same time as the pass, and scored a dramatic tip shot in a free situation with 0.1 seconds remaining. It was also a victory that shined with White’s intelligence, who never gave up until the end and made a calm judgment of the situation.

It was the 6th game that was an unexpected development, but the series was brought to “GAME 7”. In a series where each role player’s success shines, a slight difference will determine victory or defeat.
