The Boston Celtics need one more win to complete an improbable run to the
2018 NBA Finals, but earning that final victory against LeBron James and the
Cleveland Cavaliers will be an incredible challenge.
Boston traveled to Cleveland on Thursday for Friday night’s Game 6 of the
Eastern Conference finals at Quicken Loans Arena, where the toughest task of its
season awaits.
“It’s a big challenge. Going into there place and playing against them,”
Celtics center Aron Baynes said Wednesday night after his team’s Game 5 win at
TD Garden.
“It’s going to be the biggest challenge we’ve had all year, but it’s going to
be fun as well. That’s what you play this game for, to be in these situations.
For us to go out there, we’re going to have to respond, and it’s going to be
fun for us.”
The Celtics have a 1-9 road record in the playoffs, with their only victory coming
in Game 3 of the second round in Philadelphia. Boston lost both of the previous two
games in this series played in Cleveland, including a 30-point defeat in Game 3.
The C’s fell behind by at least 15 points at the end of the first quarter
in each of those losses, so a good start — similar to the 32-19 advantage
they had to begin Game 5 — would go a long way in turning around their road woes.
The Celtics do have the luxury of playing Game 7 on their home floor,
where they are 10-0 this postseason, but a Game 7 against James is not what
Boston wants given his historic stats in series-clinching games.
現在塞爾提克距離2018總冠軍賽只差一勝之遙，
對於塞隊或是他們的對手－LeBron James的騎士而言，第六戰都是一個巨大的挑戰
在Quicken Loans Arena打球並且取勝，對本季的他們來說，是最艱難的任務。
Aron Baynes：
去到那裡與他們對抗，這是個很大的挑戰。同時這也是我們本季要過的最大難關，
這很有趣，我們在這裡失利多次，我們必須要做出回應。
塞爾提克本季季後賽客場戰績是1勝9敗，唯一那一勝是對76人的第三戰
本系列賽他們兩場客場全敗，包含第三戰輸的30分
他們在輸的這兩場首節都至少輸15分，所以一個好的開局對他們來說是最重要的
如果真的要打第七戰，數據對塞爾提克較有利，他們是季後賽主場唯一不敗的隊伍
但就算有10勝0敗的主場戰績，他們還是不願意面對收官戰的LeBron James。
