It's really a wonderful thing for Celtic to have Porzingis.
For the first time in many years, the team has an offensive interior line. Before, whether it was Horford, Lowe, Thompson, or Theis, the first priority on the court was defense. They basically don't look at the frame when they take the ball on the offensive end, seek to pass after blocking and dismantling someone, and finally stand outside the three-point line, shoot one if they have the ability to shoot from a distance, and do a switchback run if they don't.
Even if it can score, due to the lack of production, it is not a very threatening shooting point, and it can be let go at critical moments. (Except Horford)
And Platinum's excellent ability to grasp the outside line not only enriches the Green Army's offensive routine, but also can maximize the opponent's interior line, giving Brown and Tatum the maximum space to attack.
Because with the changing times, the league's need for interior players is no longer excellent low-post singles, but the ability to shoot more three-pointers while doing a good job of fighting for rebounds and protecting the basket.
In this way, the advantages of Porzingis are revealed.
He is so compatible with the other starters of the Green Army, all five of them are offensive and defensive, can shoot suddenly, and have full space ability. At a certain point, you can stop the game with a series of three-point rains.
Where is his strength?
The first is the unbeatable size advantage.
Basketball has always had an unbreakable truth - an inch is long, an inch is strong. Porzingis' frightening height stands out even in the NBA, which is full of people, and his good bounce makes it difficult to guard against both his shooting and blocking starting positions.
Then the mobility was incredible, with excellent help on hand and rim protection, and exaggerated range as far as the center circle.
When these wonderful talents come into play at the same time, Porzingis has the "superpower" of being able to force a shot on top of anyone's head and complete a block in front of anyone.
Such a comprehensive and "rare" platinum is definitely a well-deserved eye in the Celtics team.
From New York's Hope, to Dallas's Blamebreaker, to Washington's Empty Slash King, Porzingis has never been a respectable winner. Although he is only 28 years old, he has already experienced the various forms of "loser" and looks depressing. Now that the Celtics have stronger teammates and a more comfortable tactical system, the Platinum only need to stay healthy and improve their lower limit in all aspects, which can lay a solid foundation for the team's evolution. Will he win the 18th championship in team history with this group of friends?
The possibilities are endless!
