Kwame Brown and Haywood do not have a large control over rebounds, which is why they are both good in height, wingspan, jumping, and strength, but their average rebounds per game are only at the level of a star small forward.
. Kwame Brown was not dominant in high school. He was only known as the top three insiders along with Eddie Curry and Chandler, but Al Jefferson was actually the number one high school student in the United States.
, in his last season of high school, he averaged 42.6 points, 18 rebounds, and 7 blocks per game, which was simply Chamberlain level. So the high school student Milicic couldn't handle, Al Jefferson, the king of high school, was able to
Done easily.
Milicic has the same shortcomings as all European insiders. They like to deal with technical and offensive insiders, and they can often do better. However, when they encounter those who are not stingy, they rely solely on their body and attack only to tip-in.
Inside, most of them are helpless. When the 76ers were playing preseason games in Europe, Webb's performance was average, and Allen Iverson on the outside was also severely restricted. On the contrary, Dalembert, a ten thousand-year-old blue-collar man on the inside, got it.
The data of 21 points and 10 rebounds is evident from this.
Although the insiders in European basketball all have excellent strength, the leaders among them, Gasol, Nowitzki, and Scola (Argentines who play in the European League) who have good offensive skills, are not so fond of confrontation.
In other words, it can be said that he avoids confrontation and has a soft style of play. Milicic is naturally a player of this type, so he will be restrained when facing Kwame Brown.
Brown had lost his temper and blood by Jordan before, but he finally recovered a little bit in the past two years. Before, he and Olavokandi were known as the two major parallel imports, and later he joined the European brother in front of him, but
I didn't expect that this guy would be completely reborn after changing teams. Olavokandi was already in the past, and he was really a little lonely. So as soon as the game started, Kwame Brown held back his energy and played.
He showed a rare enthusiasm. Even Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan, who was directing the game on the sidelines, was thinking: This kid doesn’t seem to be hanging around recently, and he is so depressed that he explodes.
The Wizards' offense has no strong point. Brown is the only main player, and he played well in this game, so he naturally became the main point of attack. Blake passed the ball to the basket after Haywood's pick-and-roll.
Kwame Brown caught the ball, but after receiving the ball, Milicic behind him defended Kwame Brown. Generally speaking, when defending inside players, if the defense is still strong,
The ball holder will use the force to turn around and get away, creating a scoring opportunity. But the Kwame brother in front of him obviously does not have such offensive skills. Milicic's push in the direction and elbow defense will be worse than
Normally showing more strength, Kwame tried twice but still couldn't get in. He shot a hook shot from a position far away from the basket. After the shot, Milicic felt that this shot was absolutely unreasonable, so he quickly turned around and took the shot.
Kwame Brown was behind him, but he didn't expect that Kwame's shot just now was so unreliable that it hit the front of the basket horizontally. When Milicic turned around, the basketball just collapsed.
It hit Milicic firmly in the face, and his eyes were filled with stars. Kwame Brown behind him was startled for a moment, then picked up the ball and got closer to the basket for a dunk.
Eddie Jordan on the sidelines put his chin in his hand and said to himself: "Is this what Kwame told me about the offense he practiced hard in the offseason? It's very lethal..."
Kwame Brown had scored eight points so far. Seeing his smug look, Milicic was furious and asked: "Where did you learn that gangster trick just now?"
Kwame Brown boasted proudly: "The shot just now was the result of long-term and hard training. The high point of the shot and the impact point at the front of the basket produced an instant rebound force, as well as your instant reaction, as well as the court.
After a series of precise calculations about the impact of airflow on the speed of basketball, etc., I shot such a shot, I am completely convinced!"
Milicic thought to himself, this guy's shamelessness is really extraordinary! "Brother, it seems that you have just finished high school and have never gone to college. Where did you get so many advanced theories? Besides, how do you calculate that calculation?"
That's right, why don't you just throw the ball into the basket..." Milicic showed no mercy to Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown immediately blushed. Fortunately, he was dark enough so that no one could see it.
.
In this Celtics lineup, the inside line is still the starting one and has offensive ability. On the outside, Banks has a sharp breakthrough, Tony Allen has good air cutting ability, and Darrell Wright has some accuracy in his three-pointers.
With Wright opening up space on the outside, the Wizards did not dare to defend against Milicic and Al Jefferson. Milicic no longer made any extra moves after receiving the ball this time, but acted purely like a center.
, used his back muscles to feel the opponent's defense. When he felt the strength of Kwame Brown's elbow blocking the back, Milicic suddenly turned around and went directly to the basket for a dunk.
"It seems like this is much simpler than the one you just made, Mr. Number One!" Milicic said to Kwame Brown after he succeeded.
What should you do when your technical movements are limited and your shooting rate is poor? The simplest way is to get to the basket and get closer to the basket. This will have a higher shooting rate and a chance to get the opponent to foul.
"Milicic started to play like a traditional center. He was closer to the basket and played more dominantly. And our Mr. Brown is obviously still developing the most creative offense in history." The Wizards on-site commentator also said
I didn't forget to praise Brown. It seems that this guy is really capable of beating the hearts of thousands of people. He had to have a bad character in his previous life to be like this. Thinking of this, Milicic remembered that his original trajectory was similar to Brown's.
The most plastic first three years of his career were completely ruined, and then he never recovered, making a living by being in the middle class. The only difference was that Brown was able to get a better contract by relying on his rough appearance.
The game continued at this pace. Not surprisingly, the Celtics defeated the Wizards 97-89. Milicic scored 14 points and 11 rebounds, and his inside partner Al Jefferson also
He scored 8 points and 13 rebounds. The black-and-white combination of Celtics insiders has averaged more than 10 rebounds per game since the beginning of the season. This has made many people who underestimated the Celtics insiders before the season.
Experts were shocked.
But next, the Celtics' interior will face the biggest challenge - the Spurs led by Tim Duncan.
