Only 1 point and 1 rebound! The continued downturn in the playoffs of Pozin has become a hidden danger

The NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals staged on May 15. The Celtics, who played at home, defeated the Knicks 127-102 in the second half, continuing the suspense of the series to 2-3. But behind this victory, the continued downturn in the team's core Porzingis has caused concerns. The

The game turned around in the second half, and coach Mazula decisively replaced Pozin with Connett, and the All-Star with an annual salary of $36 million was on the bench. Looking at the whole game, Pozin scored 1 point with only free throws in 12 minutes, and lost all three shots in the sports game. During the game, the team lost 12 points in the net. What's even more eye-catching is its playoff data single: it averages 8.5 points per game in 10 games, shooting 33.3% from the field, and three-pointers are even bleak to 13.6% - such performance is even worse than that of a basic-paying player.

"His condition obviously did not meet the game requirements,"The live commentator was blunt, "When Tatum and Brown carried the team forward, Pozin became a loophole on both offense and defense. " There was even more heated discussion on the fan forum, and many people believed that the team should consider trading the inside line with the glass man's attributes.

Salary experts point out that the Celtics will face $170 million in luxury tax pressure next season, while Pozin's remaining two-year, 72 million contract has become a heavy burden. If the Latvian center can't get back in the remaining series, management may be forced to make a tough decision this summer. After all, during the championship window period, the team needs every high-paying player to be worth the money.

The Celtics locker room is still united. Holiday emphasized in a post-match interview: "We believe Pozin can bottom out and rebound." But the cruel reality is that if the 2.21-meter-21-meter-long big man continues to be invisible, not only will the team's prospects for the championship be clouded, but perhaps Boston's "Platinum Age" will also end early.
