Became the number one dark horse two weeks after the start of the regular season. Before the start of the season, experts predicted that the Celtics would have a record of 38 to 42 wins, ranking 7th to 10th in the Eastern Conference. The current record has really surprised many experts.
After the game against the Bobcats, the team received even more good news. Pierce was able to play. People who were originally worried that Pierce's return would affect Milicic's performance also discovered from the game just now that Milicic has the ability.
With a strong enough support and assist ability, Milicic only took 15 shots in the game against the Bobcats. As the team's second and third star, this number of shots is not too many, so there is no need to consider Pierce and Milicic.
Qi's compatibility problem, but Pierce will be able to open up space for outside attacks because of Milicic's presence, and column expert Gorman even predicted that because of Milicic's presence, Pierce's average points per game will increase by 3 to 3

"The future of the Boston Celtics is bright!" This is the headline of the sports column of the "Boston Globe". The article also looks forward to the future of the Celtics. In addition to the 36-year-old Payton and the 33-year-old
In addition to Eddie Jones, 28-year-old Mark Blount and 27-year-old Pierce are already considered veterans. Tony Allen, Delonte West, who are in their early 20s, Milicic who is under 20 years old, Jay
With Ferson and Darrell Wright, the Celtics' lineup can give people unlimited room for imagination.
After the Bobcats game, the Celtics ushered in another three days of repair time. Milicic called Natalie after training, but no one answered. He only sent a message a long time later.
The message: "I'm very busy, I'll get back to you later."
Such a piece of information made Milicic rethink his relationship with Natalie. As an ordinary friend who has only met several times, he wondered whether his current behavior was a bit pretentious.
Milicic also experienced various such things in his previous life, and his mind has calmed down. All he can do now is use training to distract himself from this kind of attention.
The Celtics' training time is only three hours. Most NBA teams don't have much training time after the start of the season. If the interval between two games is relatively short, training sessions may be canceled to allow players to rest. This
It is completely different from the NCAA. The daily training of NCAA players is very intensive, and coaches are more involved. The NBA is not like this. This is why some players will ruin themselves if they enter the NBA too early.
Speaking of high school students being ruined, the most serious one was naturally the worst No. 1 pick in history - Kwame Brown. In the next game, Milicic encountered this very famous master in the NBA.
, Milicic was most afraid of this guy before he played against Kwame Brown. Can you tell who has time-traveled into him? Is it a guy from a securities company or a basketball boy? The probability of Kwame Brown’s time-travel rebirth is too high. Milicic
Qi has to guard against it.
The Celtics flew to Washington one day in advance to ensure rest and sleep and to familiarize themselves with the venue conditions.
This game was Pierce's first return, and it was also the first time the Celtics played with a complete lineup. Now Pierce is in his prime, Eddie Jones is getting older and stronger, and Payton has also been inspired to fight.
, the performance of young people is also worth looking forward to.
Celtic’s lineup is:
Point guard Gary Payton, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Al Jefferson, center Darko Milicic
The Wizards lineup is:
Point guard Arenas, shooting guard Larry Hughes, small forward Javie Hayes, power forward Antawn Jamison, center Kwame Brown
Milicic couldn't beat Kwame Brown for the jump ball after the opening. In terms of pure physical fitness, the two should be tied, but Milicic's physical advantage lies in flexibility and coordination.
, while Kwame Brown focuses more on strength and explosive power.
Arenas controls the ball and organizes the offense. The Wizards are a typical combo guard combination. Arenas and Larry Hughes can both play point guard and shooting guard. Larry Hughes is more versatile.
, his height can even play as a small forward. Larry Hughes is better at breaking through and hitting the inside, while Arenas is better at long-range shooting. It is really not easy for these two backcourt combinations, which average about 20 points per game.
deal with.
However, Arenas is not a fast point guard, and he is not short at 1.93 meters. If we talk about strength alone, he is not as good as Payton, and the most important thing is that Payton once played in Arenas.
It left a shadow on the mentality of Sri Lanka. In Arenas's impression, Payton was the beast left over from Jordan's era. In the past, Arenas was beaten by Payton, and he was even very happy when he was substituted.
Although Arenas has now become a star point guard averaging 20+ points per game, he still dare not underestimate Payton. Payton saw some dodge in Arenas's eyes, and the old man immediately understood this 22
What was the 20-year-old young man thinking about? Payton yelled at Arenas: "What the hell are you thinking about! Aren't you very powerful recently? Try it on me!"
Arenas was already showing timidity. Hearing Payton's intimidation, he didn't even dare to attack. This madman who dared to score against Kobe Bryant was also afraid of him in his memory. Arenas passed the ball to Larry Hughes.
Hughes was fighting with Eddie Jones, and here Milicic and Kwame Brown, who was focusing on him, said: "Brother, are you sure you have never been to China?"
Kwame Brown, the great god in later generations who was time-traveled to the point that he could no longer wear clothes, felt that Milicic was somewhat mentally disturbed, but after thinking about it, he felt that this seemed to be Milicic's way of confusing his opponents. Not only did he become more vigilant, but after Milicic
Xic squeezed harder from behind, trying to push Milicic out of the three-second zone.
Regardless of whether Kwame Brown has traveled through time or not, at least there is nothing to say about his strength. Milicic struggled to compete with Kwame Brown for position. With the two players Okafor and Kwame Brown
Facing the league's top interior defenders, Milicic became more aware of his lack of strength. Skills are based on strength. If the confrontation ability is insufficient and he cannot squeeze into his ideal position, then no matter how good he is,
