Among them, the Celtics starting point guard Walker, who just came back not long ago, became the target of public criticism. This season, Celtic defenders participated in 16 games, averaging 29.3 minutes, 17.3 points, with a shooting percentage of only 38% and a shooting percentage of only 35%. If Walker was a well-deserved all-star guard during the Hornets' period, then Walker's role in the Celtics today is basically no different from that of an ordinary starting guard. On the one hand, the decline in the performance of Walker Stadium is due to the impact of physical injuries, on the other hand, it has a lot to do with the Celtics.
As defenders, especially those who lead the team with personal attacks like Walker and Owen, if they want to play beautifully, they should be given enough ball rights. Like Owen, even though he and Harden Durant are teammates in the Nets, he still has great freedom in personal attack.
However, in Celtic, Jay Brown and Tatum are regarded as the core of the team's future. In the management's mind, any strong support can't be built on the progress space that interferes with the double investigation. Although the strength of the two players has improved obviously every season, they also have the ball rights occupied by the two players. Take Tatum as an example, the average number of shots per game has increased from 10.4 in the rookie season to 13. 1 times in the second year, 18.6 times in the third year and 20.8 times this season. The holding time of double probes increased, and Walker's holding time naturally decreased. However, for an offensive defender with the ball, it seems not surprising that the data drops when the holding time is decreasing year by year and the shooting right is decreasing year by year.
Before Walker, Owen knew how difficult it was for Celtic defenders! Owen was considered the biggest time bomb in the locker room when he was with Celtic. Most fans think that his joining not only destroys the team's chemical reaction, but also squeezes the growth space of Brown and Tatum. In the first year, Owen missed the Green Army to reach the Eastern Conference finals, but in the second year, Owen led the team to stop the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Some people even thought that the Celtics lost in the playoffs because of Owen's return, and his strength was simply not enough to lead the Celtics' young talents to compete for the championship.
But when Owen left the Celtics to join the Nets in the second year, he got a career-high 28.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 52%, and his 3-pointer percentage was over 40%. Such comprehensive data and efficient attack are undoubtedly better than all the players in Celtic's current team.
Like Owen Walker, there is also Hayward who is currently with the Hornets. In Celtic, Hayward always had to obey the wishes of the team and help Tatum, who is younger than himself. I don't know how old he is. He is more of a ball and lubricant. When the playoffs are not good, even the fans can't take care of themselves. But after the Green Army came to the Hornets, Hayward immediately ushered in the second spring of his career. His performance has completely reached a higher level, averaging 22.5 points and 5. 1 rebound and 4 assists, shooting 50% and shooting 4 1% from three-pointers.
The oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and the oranges born in Huaibei are oranges, Hayward, Owen and Walker. I don't think Celtic should think much about why there are no good players in their team, but why good players don't play their due role in this team.
