315 million in 5 years! 12 out of the last quarter! Tatum is completely lost

The first two games of the second round of the playoffs have been completed. Who is the most disappointing star? Some people choose Huazi, and some people choose Tatum. Today we will talk about Tatum first. In the first two games of the NBA playoff Eastern Conference semi-finals, Tatum made a total of 12 of 42 shots, with a shooting percentage of 28.6%. A total of 5 of 20 three-pointers were shot, with a 25% three-point shooting percentage.

Look at Jaylen Brown, the first two games of the series had a total of 15 of 43 shots, with a shooting percentage of 34.9%; a total of 17 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting percentage of 17.6%. In two games, the two brothers made a total of 37 three-pointers and scored only 8. In other words, the double-Tanhua averaged 18.5 three-pointers per game, with an average of 9.25 shots per person.

Series G1, Tatum made 4 of 15 three-pointers, Jaylen Brown made 10 of 10 of 3-pointers, and the Celtics made 15 of 60 three-pointers. In the series G2, the Celtics made 10 of 40 three-pointers. Looking at another set of embarrassing data, in the series G2, Tatum scored only 2 points in 7 in the first half, and Jaylen Brown scored only 3 points in 7 in the second half. In the summer of 2023, the Celtics renewed Jaylen Brown for 5 years and $304 million, breaking the historical record of a single contract in the NBA. In the summer of 2024, the Celtics renewed their contract with Tatum for $315 million in five years, setting a new NBA record. With the largest NBA contract, Tatum's performance in this year's playoffs has greatly disappointed fans.

This year's playoffs, Tatum played 6 games, averaging 40.2 minutes per game, scoring 26.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 3.2 turnovers. The shooting percentage is 39.4%, the three-point shooting percentage is 32.1%, and the free throw shooting percentage is 88%. Tatum averaged rebounds per game as a career high in the playoffs, but hit a career low.

Tatum's real shooting percentage in the playoffs was only 54%, significantly lower than the 58.2% of the regular season. In the first round of the playoffs, Tatum averaged 31.3 points per game. Tatum averaged 18 points per game against the Knicks in the second round of the playoffs. In the fourth quarter of the last two games, Tatum only scored 6 points in total, with a total of 12 shots, including 0 of 7 three-pointers.

On December 31, 2023, the Knicks used Barrett + Quickley + 1 second round pick, and 3 for 1 to get Anunobi. In the 2024 offseason, the Knicks renewed their contract with Anunobi for 5 years of US$212.5 million. It was also the summer of 2024, and the Knicks used 5 first-round picks + 1 first-round swap to get Bridges from the Nets' trade.

At the beginning, the leader also felt that the price the Knicks paid was too high. It was not until this round of the series that met the Celtics, Bridges and Anunobi locked up the double-Tanhua, that the value of the two deals was reflected. This season, when Tatum faced Anunobi, he shot 4 of 16 shots, and in the playoffs, the data became 2 of 10.

Clippers team reporter Farbod Esnaashari wrote: "Tatum has been making meaningless step-back jump shots, just like George did when facing smaller defensive players. Fans should have the same voice as they would against Leonard. Don't forget that Leonard averages 25 points per game and has a 50% shooting percentage!"

lost two home games in a row and is currently behind 0-2. Do you think Tatum and the Celtics can still turn the tables?
