The Celtics lost consecutive losses to the Pelicans and the Lone Ranger. Their record fell to 23 wins and 25 losses, which is less than 50% of the winning rate and two wins. The Eastern Conference ranking also fell to 8th. The Celtics are sending away the team’s best and highest hard-working center forward (Daniel Theis) for this season’s player trading deadline in exchange for magic shooter Fournier (Evan Fournier) The "press line transaction" repays debts.
Averaged 18.9 points per game and made 30% of three-pointers. 7 Fournier has not yet adapted to the bench and the Celtics tactical system, personal shots and feel have not been recovered yet Rhythm, move to Green Army The two games a total of 16 shots, averaging 3 points, including 7 three-pointers and 0 of them.
Fournier joined the Celtics in the first game against the Pelicans for 33 minutes, made 0 of 10 shots and didn't score. The Green Army acquired two young, long-term power forwards Wagner (Moritz Wagner) and center Kornet (Luke Kornet) through a three-way trade. The past two games have entered a rotation, and the performance of the two is also not bright.
The Green Army chief Anji made these two "line-pressing transactions" with three intentions.
First, avoid luxury taxes
The two-year US$10 million contract of Tays expires this summer.The next contract that Tays may get is at least $8-10 million in annual salary. It is a pity to send away the green army's best starting center Tays, but in order to save money and avoid taxes, Angie still shot in tears.
This season Ties averaged 9.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game this season, shooting 5 percent from the field, and three-pointers keeping 3 percent 4, but Ties against the Celtics The importance and difficulty of the team's role to be replaced far exceed his data contribution.
Second, increase the thickness and assets of the inside line
send Tys away because the Greens also have center Thompson (in injury), young center Williams (Robert Williams III) needs playing time and Space, the functions, functions, and statistics of the three are the same, except that Thompson's scoring skills are more monotonous and he can't shoot. Williams is explosive and has better physical fitness.
The Green Army got 211 cm , Wagner and 216 cm Knett in a tripartite trade. Both are very young and have plasticity. They shoot well, use the least chips to win the young long man's assets. This is what Anji will do carefully.
Third, the special case of trading is about to expire
The $17.5 million "trading exception" in the hands of the Green Army will expire no longer, and the former magic shooter rich who scored nearly 20 points in this transaction Niye, made up the outside line, three-pointers, a solid bench to score, and even created another best sixth man. The layout is perfect.
These three newcomers have good shots and heights.In theory, it can be used to fill the greens' weakest bench scoring, improve offensive combinations and changes. Seeing this, most fans will surely think that Anji's two "crimping deals" now seem to be "stealing chickens without losing money."
Fournier changed to the bench. Starting from the bench, he could hardly find the hand feeling and feel lucky on the outside. The bench performance and scoring energy of the Green Army were weaker than before the trade. Span8span Wagner, Konette two Regardless of starter, substitute, efficiency and offensive and defensive performance, the young long man has a long way to integrate into the team, and there is still a long way to play his personal style. In the second half of the Celtics, he must immediately improve his record and ranking to avoid playing the "playoff playoffs." , The future roles and playing space of the two are not optimistic.
Losing the Pelicans, the Celtics' defense was a mess, the Pelicans made more than 50% of their three-pointers, made 19 three-pointers, the Celtics rebounded, free throws, three All the main data on points and field goal percentage are lost. Losing the Lone Ranger, the Lone Ranger scored 16 three-pointers with 4% of 8 three-pointers, and the Celtics lost all rebounds, free throws, field-goal percentages, and three-pointers.
The Celtics are currently ranked 21st in defensive efficiency and 12th in offensive efficiency. They have no qualified defense. The stars lack the ability to lead the team. The coach will lose efficiency when using troops. The potential and positioning of role players have been It has not been developed, and it is reflected in the record of less than 50% and the ranking in the East, which is just right.
The Celtics really make the hole bigger!
