Boston’s back is against the wall towards Game 6 of the NBA Finals, but Celtics star Jaylen Brown has vowed not to go against the Golden State Warriors.
“We are looking forward to the challenge,” Brown said Wednesday. “We have to accept it. There is no other way around it. The last match on our home floor is like embodying our entire season.
“We aim to provide everything we have. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid of the Golden State Warriors. We want to come out and play the best basketball possible. . “
The Warriors won 104-94 in Round 5 in San Francisco on Monday, scoring one win from their fourth title in eight years.
Warriors star Stephen Curry was a rare offnight, but former No. 1 draft topic Andrew Wiggins made a big appearance at both ends of the court, pouring 26 points and scoring 13 rebounds, as the Golden State took. The lead of the 3-2 series came up with two steels and blocks.
The Celtics, on the other hand, have achieved 18 turnovers. This means that if you want to force the decisive Round 7 in California, you can’t afford it on Thursday.
Brown said Boston’s rocky start this season is firmly supporting the team as it tries to recover from two consecutive losses.
“Everything was a learning experience,” Brown said of the season when he saw the Celtics suffering below .500 at the midpoint.
“We wear everything we’ve learned this year as a badge of honor,” Brown said. “We don’t let it hang on our heads. We bounce. We were able to respond well all year round.”
This year’s defensive player, teammate Marcus Smart, reflected these feelings.
“We were forced to play with our backs against the wall,” Smart said. “We’re really used to being part of us in our nature right now. It’s not new to us. It’s another game. It’s another tough. It’s a game. “
Smart said it doesn’t need a revolutionary plan to stop Curry and Co, but it needs to pay attention to the details.
“We all know that in this run and this game, when you’re playing against some great guys, the error margin is very small,” he said.
No current player was in the finals while the Celtics were chasing the franchise’s record 18th NBA title.
Nonetheless, Brown said there was no doubt that they could force Round 7 among the Celtics.
“We have all our beliefs in ourselves,” he said. “We’re going to come out and leave it all there. That’s the whole intention.”
