Final MVP Brown wants to ‘refit,’ says “you can’t let your guard down”
Brown, the defending Finals MVP, will be looking to refit.
Boston traded away Jrue Holiday (191 cm, G) last offseason. They added Kristaps Porzingis (221 cm, F-C) to the mix, giving them a strong starting lineup. With Halliday-Derrick White (193 cm, G), Jaylen Brown (198 cm, G-F), Jayson Tatum (203 cm, F), and Porzingis, the Celtics finished the regular season with tremendous momentum.After earning the No. 1 seed, the Celtics came into their own in the playoffs. Different players stepped up in every game, and the Celtics made it to the Finals with ease in 카지노 커뮤니티 Porzingis’ absence.
They didn’t have a major crisis in the Finals either. They won games one through three. Although they lost Game 4, they came back home and won by 18 points. Brown was named the Finals MVP. Brown averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.8 blocked shots in the Finals. He was a controlling presence on defense as well as offense for Luka Doncic (201 cm, G-F).
Meanwhile, Boston is a strong favorite to win the title next season. They re-signed their existing players. There are no leaks. They’ve even tried to add players in the face of a massive luxury tax. Boston’s goal is to refit.
Brown agrees. “We have to raise the level of tension. And we have to raise the level of anticipation. People can let their guard down after one win. But we can’t do that. We have to keep our guard up and win battles,” he said.
Although the Celtics won the title last season with a ton of firepower, other teams have done their best to bolster their rosters, most notably the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks, who have made huge additions to their rosters. Boston will have to beat these teams to win the championship.
“There are a lot of good teams in the East this upcoming season,” Brown said. So if we let our guard down, we could fall. Our goal is still to win the championship. We’ll do our best to ‘fit in,’” Brown responded.
It will be interesting to see if the Celtics can once again be a force to be reckoned with in the fiercely competitive East, and if they can accomplish the feat of ‘refit’.
