Jaylen Brown (26) blamed himself.
The Boston Celtics (hereinafter referred to as Boston)메이저놀이터, to which Brown belongs, lost to the Miami Heat by 123-116, 7 points in the first leg of the NBA (American Professional Basketball) Eastern Conference Finals held at TD Garden, their home stadium, on the 18th.
In an interview conducted after the match, Brown expressed the exact opposite reaction to manager Joe Mazzula’s assessment that he “did a great job.”
“Miami beat us in the last minute,” said Brown, who saw Boston’s defense collapse in the second half of the game. “Especially in the third quarter. We gave them easy chances in transition situations and were not at a high level physically.”
In addition, he intensely blamed himself, saying, “We were like 10 years old, and this should never happen again.”
On this day, Brown ran for 38 minutes and 33 seconds, recording 22 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, but was unable to play efficient basketball with a field goal success rate of 47.6% (10/21) and a three-point success rate of 16.7% (1/6).
Best of all, Brown provided Miami with transition situations several times, committing 10 turnovers with Jayson Tatum. (6 Browns, 4 Tatum turnovers)
Accordingly, Boston allowed Miami a come-from-behind defeat while committing a ’15 turnover’, which was established as a must-lose formula.
Meanwhile, attention is focused on whether Boston will be able to showcase their own basketball while managing mistakes in the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals against Miami, which will be held at the same place on the 20th.
