The NBA had the great victory of the Boston Celtics in front of Golden State Warriorsaway from home, by 120 to 108, in the first game of the NBA finals on Thursday night, 2. After the confrontation, the coach Ime Udoka answered the first question of the press conference, and talked about the performance of Jayson Tatum in court.

This question was put to good use by the rookie coach, who practically made a call so he could use an example of a game below the criticism of his biggest star to get the entire Boston squad excited. Ime Udoka was quite satisfied with what he saw in the match, talking about the good parts presented.

“We talked about impacting the game even on a night when the shots aren’t dropping. That’s what he did today. Even without a good shot, he kept attracting the defense and making the right plays. That’s why we’re a team. We don’t depend on just one player”, said the Celtics coach.

The commander’s speech made total sense, since in fact the Boston Celtics did not depend on just one player. In the confrontation, five players managed to score in double digits, while three of them passed the mark of 20 points scored against Golden State Warrios in Game 1 of the finals of the NBA.

So, to get an idea, Al Horford scored 26 points, Jaylen Brown24 and Derrick White 21. Another who came close to achieving this same feat was Marcus Smartwith 18, in addition to Otto Porter Jr., who managed to convert 4 out of 5 balls out of three to add 12 points scored from the bench.

Thus, on the 21 balls of three that were converted by the Celtics players in the match, Ime Udoka highlighted how his players were smart on the court to be able to explore the defensive alternatives that were tested by Steve Kerr and also by the Warriors athletes themselves in the last period.

“They tried a few different formations to stop Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, even a zone defense at the end of the game. We managed to make the infiltrations, attacking the basket and breaking the mark to find someone free to shoot from three. Today our players were very well and converted the pitches”, analyzed the captain of the Boston.
