29 three-pointers and 5 three-pointers, all winning

In the opening game of the new season, the Knicks lost to the Celtics by 28 points, not necessarily because the Knicks have many dishes, but because the Celtics are in terrible form today.

In the first quarter, the Celtics dragged 10 three-pointers, arrows rained down, and led the Knicks by 19 points by 43 points in a single quarter, and the suspense was basically lost after the first quarter of the game. When the Celtics made seven more three-pointers in the second quarter and 17 in the half, they were pondering the NBA's single-game three-point record.

So in the third quarter, it was clear that the Celtics were basically looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside, and their scores were all 3-pointers. At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics made 26 three-pointers, the NBA all-time record is 29 for the Bucks, and the next suspense is when the fourth quarter will be broken.

Pritchard scored at the start of the final quarter, and Horford, who had a mess of three-pointers in the preseason, made a record-tying 29 three-pointers. But sometimes life is so dramatic, the more you want it, the more you can't get it.

At 8:55, Horford hit an all-time record 29 three-pointers. In the following time, the Celtics made 13 three-pointers in a row, and almost everyone on the court tried, but they didn't score, even shooters like Hauser couldn't score in a row, and the mentality changed significantly.

I remember a long time ago, there was a game where one team also had a chance to break the record, but the last defensive strategy of the opposite side was to not let you shoot three points, you can score three points and make a basket, or even foul you directly in the end to make free throws, just don't give you a chance to break the three-point record.

However, today the Knicks really gave the Celtics three points, and during the period of conceding 13 three-pointers in a row, many three-point shots were large openings, but the Celtics who were on track for the whole game just couldn't shoot, and the three-point record was stopped at 29 times. But I feel like this record will be broken sooner or later this season, and it will most likely be the Celtics.

Putting aside the three-point record that they wanted to break but couldn't, the Celtics played a near-perfect opener. They continued the league's unrivaled offensive firepower, ignoring the ability to defend after a three-point shot, and the Celtics didn't just have Tatum and Brown.

Holiday had four three-pointers, White had six three-pointers, Brown had five three-pointers, Horford had three three-pointers, Tatum had eight three-pointers, and what was even more amazing was that the five starting three-pointers all shot more than 50 percent, and the five combined 26 of 41. Even in today's game, Porzingis hasn't played yet.

It is understandable that Tatum and Brown have exploded in one or two games, and the whole team has exploded, all of them are throwing in on top of others, and it can only be said that the Celtics have the right time and place today, and they did not break the record in the end, purely to accumulate character for the defending champion.

Tatum definitely played an MVP-level game today, 14-of-18, 8-of-11 three-pointers, and finished with 37 points and 10 assists in almost two and a half quarters, with a team-high plus/minus of +26.

In the whole game, Tatum conceded only one inside the three-point line. The Knicks are not completely defenseless against the Celtics' three-point points, as long as Tatum is raised, Tatum will score two points when he breaks through; As long as Tatum is included, Tatum will be able to brush up on a three-point assist right away.

The Celtics had 33 assists as a team, and if it weren't for the final 13 consecutive three-pointers, the number of assists would have been even higher. The Celtics, meanwhile, had just three turnovers as a team, compared to six by the Timberwolves in the eight and a half minutes of the first quarter. With three turnovers in the game, this statistic may be even more terrifying than 29 three-pointers, and the execution of the champion team is terrifying.

And you can clearly feel that the intensity of the Celtics today is the playoff level, and they all say that the Knicks are their biggest competitors, and the Celtics also want to try the depth of this opponent, but obviously today's Knicks are still a little tender.

Downs' defensive weaknesses are magnified, and the pick-and-roll defense is poor. Of course, the defensive titan Bridges is also not very good on defense today, being shot by Tatum again and again, and what is even worse is that his shooting posture has changed to a mess, 0 of 5 in the half did not score, and in the second half garbage time scored a few.

Tatum also fine-tuned his shooting posture this summer, but Tatum's shooting was smoother, while Bridges's shooting jam was more obvious, and the two-stage power looked awkward.

With the addition of Towns and Bridges, the Knicks are bound to go through a long run-in period. The Knicks may not have played very badly today, and the Celtics who have 29 three-pointers have to take a break, and the Knicks' performance off the bench today is still remarkable.

The Celtics raised their 18th championship flag today, and they have taken a huge step forward in their pursuit of the 19th flag.

Let's talk about the Lakers briefly, the biggest gimmick today is, of course, the first team in NBA history to be on the same stage, and the fans who buy high-priced tickets are basically rushing for this. So Bronny played 2 minutes in the second quarter and accomplished the task.

Let's not talk about the effect of Bronny's appearance, a player who can't even play in the preseason, don't expect him to adapt to the NBA in a short time. James said to Bronny off the court: "You can see the intensity of the game, right? Don't think about it, though, just focus on playing. ”

James also knows that his son is not capable of being on the same stage as him now, and all he can do is bring his son to this stage, and the rest requires Bronny to continue to work hard until he reaches the threshold of the NBA.

The Lakers and Celtics showed two completely different winning patterns today. The Celtics spilled 29 three-pointers, and the Lakers made 5 of 30 three-pointers in the game, and also won the strong rival Timberwolves, ending their losing streak in the opening game. The last time the Lakers won the opening game was in 2016, and today Randle opposite is still with the Lakers.

Although it was only the first game, it was certain that Redick's offensive level was much better than Hamm's. Even if he was 5-of-30 from three-point range, the Lakers' offense looked much smoother, the thick eyebrows were in a more comfortable position, and James was not under much load throughout the game.

Last season's thick eyebrows saw a lot of fourth-quarter turnbacks with role players. And today's thick eyebrows, the fourth quarter is the absolute offensive core, the ball revolves around the thick eyebrows, even if it is not the thick eyebrows in the end, he is in a good rebounding position.

Redick previously emphasized two points, offensive rebounding and three-pointers. Today, the Lakers' three-point shooting is still as bad as last season, and this thing can't get better overnight. But in terms of offensive rebounding, the Lakers have completed their metamorphosis.

The Lakers had one of the worst offensive rebounds in the league last season, and today they grabbed 15 offensive rebounds, including three from Hayes, three from Hachimura, and four from Bush, while small guard Reaves had four offensive rebounds.

A large number of offensive rebounds and a large number of opponent turnovers made the Lakers 20 more shots than the Timberwolves after the third quarter, and finally the Lakers took 10 more shots than the Timberwolves after the whole game. Among them, the restricted area scored, and the Lakers won by 32 points at 72-40.

It is foreseeable that thick eyebrows will inevitably play quite comfortably under Redick's system, Redick is a smart person and knows that thick eyebrows are the real future of the Lakers. Today, thick eyebrows have 36 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, and the wild beast on the inside is back.

Last season's Lakers, the negative effects of the three-point accuracy affected the state of the whole team. 5-of-30 three-pointers today, but the Lakers did better on other levels, reducing turnovers and seizing conversions to create a second scoring opportunity, which was the biggest change for the Lakers.

If the Celtics have done modern basketball to the extreme, then the Lakers, the "bad students" of modern basketball, have shown their potential for improvement, and they have ushered in the first win of the new season in the midst of stumbles.
