Even if it is not yet very great Jaylen Brown, the rear / winger had his best game of the conference final in this Game 5 won by the Celtics, with 21 points at 9/18 in shooting and 3 interceptions .
Some offensive choices are sometimes still doubtful, but at least he no longer loses the ball and regains address, after a difficult start to the series. A bit like the whole Boston team in short.
“Things are back to normal for me, but we are playing well and fair too”comments Jaylen Brown at a press conference. “We do the right readings and we put the shots, so everything is cleaner. We know when to attack, when to take advantage of an advantageous duel. The key is aggression. The first matches, they won these moments, those where you have to throw yourself to save a ball or tear yourself away to obtain possession. For two games, we have the same intensity as them and we must be the team that gives the most. »
That’s why the 2022 runner-up feels that now, at 3-2 to Miami and with a Celtic side showing their teeth again, the series is finally beginning.
“We had our backs against the wall and it’s obvious that we didn’t expect to find ourselves in this position of being down 3-0, but when adversity hits, you see what a team is made of” , continues the Boston player. “It couldn’t be worse than 3-0, but we stuck together. We relied on what we know how to do in defense, and now there is a series. »
A new “series” that will be short no matter what. Either Miami wins Game 6 at home, and it’s over, or Boston pulls off the feat in Florida and offers itself a legendary Game 7 in front of its home crowd…
“We should expect a big reaction in the next game,” warns Jaylen Brown. “It’s going to be a fight. They will probably play better than in this meeting and they will be aggressive. We will have to be ready. »
