tattoo played a great show in Celtics It is 76ers during game seven of one of this season’s top series NBA. Last Sunday, the 14th, at TD Garden, in the victory of 112 to 88, the star reached 51 points in a single match and hit a mark that had never been reached until then. In league history, no other player had scored as many points as Jayson in the seventh game of a playoff matchup.
The record achieved by Tatum came after a ‘strange’ performance by the player in game six between the Celtics and the 76ers. At the opportunity, he spent practically the entire game with just two points, but improved in the last quarter, scored more points than Philadelphia and managed to help in the victory that took Boston to game seven of the series.
After the 51 points, Tatum remembered the way he behaved during last Sunday’s game, 14: “I was really excited for the moment, to be able to play today”.
“Going into Game 6, it sounds crazy, but I was really hooked. I was very tense. I was really in my head thinking about what I need to do. How many points do I need to score. It’s a big moment for me“, he began to explain. According to Tatum, from the sixth to the seventh match, he did everything to change his mindset.
Today I was myself. Before the game, I was relaxed, laughing, joking. That’s how I play my best, when I’m having fun. I just tried not to think about the pressure, what everyone is going to say. Just focus on the game and fun“, he completed.
Tatum still took advantage and analyzed the Miami Heat, which will be his rival in the NBA East Conference Finals!
“A team we are extremely familiar with. A very well trained team, they compete with the best, they play hard. They defend, make plays, and manage to win games. It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be very competitive and I’m looking forward to it”, concluded the Boston star. It is worth remembering that the two teams start to dispute the final of the eastern conference next Wednesday, 17, at 21:30 (Brasília time).
