On June 2, Beijing time, there are still 5 days left before the finals start. Earlier today, Celtics star Tatum was interviewed and he talked about his last Finals loss and his upcoming face against Irving, who he gave very high rating.

In the 2022 playoffs, Tatum led the Celtics to defeat the Nets, Bucks, and Heat in consecutive rows to reach the Finals. But in the Finals, Tatum's performance was not ideal, and the Green Army also lost 2-4 to the Warriors, and Tatum missed the first championship of his career. In this season, Tatum ushered in the second trip to the Finals of his career.

In an interview, Tatum was asked how he felt about participating in the Finals for the second time. Tatum said: "After going through the 2022 Finals, this trip to the Finals really feels very different to me. Because people don't always get a second chance, I really think this is my second chance. (You don't always get a second chance so really just looking at it as a second chance.)" Tatum's second chance refers to the preciousness of the opportunity, so this time it should be more seized.

Tatum also spoke about this year's path to qualifying: "This is the fastest time we've ever made it through the first round, the second round, and of course, the third round. We've had a couple of tie-breaks in previous years, and this year we've had a good break. ”

In the finals, Tatum will face his former "big brother" Irving. Although Irving's relationship with the Celtics was very bad, Tatum still gave praise for his high emotional intelligence: "I'm happy to see Irving play at such a high level on the court, doing what we love to see him do, all those special things, and he's having fun with it." I'll talk to him from time to time throughout the season, especially against the Mavericks. ”

Tatum then said: "It feels like it's been a long time since I was teammates with him, but I have a lot of good memories with him. Tatum and Irving have been teammates for two seasons, and in the first season, Irving was reimbursed for the season, and Tatum helped the Green Army reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Irving returned for his second season, but the Green were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and then Irving left for the Nets.

Tatum also spoke about the importance of Porzingis: "I really appreciate him, especially a player like him who is talented and tall. A lot of big men are likely to stick to their own ways and do what they feel comfortable with. He's stepped out of his comfort zone a little bit and that makes us a better team. ”

According to the schedule, this year's Finals will officially start on June 7, can Tatum lead the Celtics to the championship? Let's wait and see!
