Zach Lowe: 达拉斯小牛队在第四场比赛中展现了本系列赛以来最好的防守表现,这与Luka Dončić的防守努力提升密切相关。Luka Dončić在防守端的出色表现,成功限制了Jayson Tatum、Jaylen Brown和Malcolm Brogdon等球员。小牛队在第四场比赛中在进攻篮板、失误和转换进攻方面全面压制了凯尔特人队,展现了强大的比赛统治力。尽管小牛队赢得了第四场比赛,但凯尔特人队仍然被认为会在第五场比赛中获胜,并最终赢得系列赛。小牛队在比赛中采取了强硬的防守策略,并成功地迫使裁判放任他们的身体对抗。在系列赛前三场比赛中,凯尔特人队在空位三分出手次数上远远超过小牛队,这体现了双方进攻策略上的巨大差异。小牛队在第四场比赛中在空位三分命中率上取得了显著的优势,这改变了系列赛前三场中存在的巨大差距。小牛队除Luka Dončić和Kyrie Irving外的球员在第四场比赛中的三分命中率非常高,这对于球队的进攻至关重要。凯尔特人队在第四场比赛中的进攻表现起伏不定,这与他们未能有效利用转换进攻机会有关。小牛队在第四场比赛中展现了出色的团队协作防守,这体现在他们对凯尔特人队进攻的有效限制上。如果凯尔特人队输掉第五场比赛,他们将面临巨大的压力,因为他们需要在客场赢得两场比赛才能赢得系列赛。历史上,在NBA总决赛中,落后3-0的球队在第四场比赛获胜后,赢得第五场比赛的概率很低。凯尔特人队在第五场比赛中被预测会获胜,但小牛队在第四场比赛中的表现可能会改变系列赛的走向。 Kevin Pelton: 小牛队在第四场比赛中展现出的“绝望”式拼搏,是他们扭转系列赛局势的关键。Luka Dončić在第四场比赛中展现了全面的实力,这与他之前的表现形成了鲜明对比。Luka Dončić在防守端的努力提升对小牛队的整体防守策略至关重要,有效地限制了对手的进攻。凯尔特人队在第四场比赛中的一些进攻选择显得有些非典型和不自然,这反映了他们在应对小牛队防守策略时的困境。凯尔特人队在第四场比赛中,当Jaylen Brown和Jayson Tatum的配合减少时,他们的进攻效率也随之下降。Kristaps Porziņģis的回归可能会显著提升凯尔特人队的进攻效率,尤其是在对方采取包夹防守时。凯尔特人队在应对五小阵容时,需要找到更有效的进攻策略来弥补他们在内线进攻上的不足。
