He once again defended Brunson. The Celtics backfield performance was actually very good?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Boston Celtics, who played at home, easily defeated the New York Knicks 127-102. After this game, the Celtics, who lacked Jayson Tatum, stubbornly tied the total score of this series to 2-3. The team successfully escaped, but they still faced severe tests next; for the Knicks, as long as they can win the G6 at home, they can successfully advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this game, the Celtics' starting and back court Jrue Holiday's performance is worthy of recognition. Holiday played 32 minutes and 43 seconds in the whole game, made 5 of 8 shots, 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 5 free throws, and scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. He also had 1 turnover and 5 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +23. Although Holiday didn't make many attempts on the offensive end, he showed his comprehensive scoring ability. He also seized the limited opportunity and got a lot of points, providing a lot of support for the team. Holiday also showed certain passing ability and organizational ability, and he was able to play various roles on the offensive end. The most important thing is that Holiday once again effectively restricted his opponent's backcourt core Jalen Brunson on the defensive end, which led to Brunson's inability to play his worth in this game. Holiday's performance in this game can be described as both offense and defense, and his role on the court is really outstanding.

In the NBA regular season this season, Holiday made a total of 62 appearances in 82 games, averaging 30.6 minutes per game, averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 35.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 90.9%. In the playoffs, Holiday made a total of 7 appearances in the first 10 games, averaging 33.5 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 2 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 53.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 37.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 63.6%.

In fact, Holiday's performance during the playoffs was also quite good. Due to the reduction in ball rights and the number of shots, his scores did decline to a certain extent, but his offensive efficiency can still be maintained at a high level, which is not easy. Holiday is also able to create enough threat to Brunson in most games on the defensive end. For a role player like Holiday, such performance is worthy of recognition, and he has played his role well. As for whether the team can win, this is actually not entirely related to Holiday's performance in nature. Holiday has done a good job, but it is obviously not him who decides the Celtic cap.
