Messed up! Messed up! The east is completely messed up. The first Celtics and the fourth 76ers are only 0.5 wins apart, and in the final stages of the regular season, less than the last game, it is really difficult to say who can occupy the top position. Due to the recent Highlights of the Nets, everyone thinks that the top two in the East are hot potatoes, but there is one team that is fearless, and in their eyes, there is only the determination to win. That's right, as you can guess, they're the best Celtics in recent times.
After entering 2022, the Celtics have shown good strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, how fierce are they? Let's use the data to show that before February, the Celtics' record was 27 wins and 25 losses, only 11th in the East, but in the following game, the Celtics suddenly opened the second vein of Ren Dou, won a record of 20 wins and 3 losses, and directly ascended to the throne of the First Place in the East. The most frightening thing is that they can beat their opponents by 14.6 points per game, crushing all opponents with strength, and it is worth mentioning that most of the opponents they have won are strong teams in the playoffs.
Why did the Celts suddenly become so fierce? Obviously, the lineup has not changed much, how can it suddenly be opened? Xiao Feng felt that there were three reasons.
The first is the improvement of their lineup run-in, the Celtics' playing style has changed significantly this season, especially on the defensive end they have just changed to the way of playing with infinite changes, it is clear that they are not very accustomed to this style of play at the beginning of the season, but after half a season of running-in, everyone began to familiarize themselves with this style of play, and finally, they played to their advantage. Inevitably, some fans will say, what are their specific advantages? That's right, mobility and height, Tatum, Brown, Smart, Williams, Horford, these people have both height, arm span and speed of movement, which is the Celtics' biggest chip, so that they can't lose any position, and when these five people started, the Celtics scored 118.8 points per 100 rounds, losing only 94.2 points.
Then there is the defensive ability, I have to say that the Celtics have always been known for their iron-blooded defense, when they adapt to the infinite change of defense, the power gradually appeared, the original traditional way of playing is destined to be eliminated by the times, although the position of the big center is still important, but the Warriors with several years of experience to tell everyone the importance of unlimited change of defense, and the Celtics' current learning, even beyond the current Warriors. Basketball now pursues a fast pace, the traditional big center is destined not to have much effect, and at this time there are several players on the team with a height and arm span, who already have an advantage in the opposition, and this is the Celtics' defensive foundation. Schroeder is ok, the data is not bad, but he does not meet the Celtics' lineup requirements, and was eventually traded out, in fact, their players are very simple, to defend and height.
Finally, the depth of the lineup is young, in fact, in recent seasons, the growth of their young players has given us hope, the age of the double probe flower is even to the age of the play, Brown is only 25 years old, and Tatum is only 24 years old, the two people have been together for so many years, has made them form a good chemical reaction, no one will question their defensive ability, but the offensive ability of the double probe flower has laid the foundation for them, and now the Celtics are described as offensive and defensive, not exaggerated.
Inevitably, some fans said that the Warriors are the originator of unlimited defense changes, why not compare with the Celtics? In fact, it is also the difference in the lineup, why was the Warriors so powerful at that time? Because they also have the advantage of defense and height, but with the aging of Iguodala and the departure of Durant, they no longer have such an advantage, but the Celtics side, the essence of the Warriors to learn the essence of the Warriors to the fullest, sometimes have to sigh, the years are not spared, see the young Celtics, seem to see greater hope.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
