Speaking of the Celtics’ eight-man rotation, Porzingis is certainly the new Celtics’ legion, Tatum also has sharper offensive skills, Holiday and White have also perfectly constructed a tight perimeter defense, and Horford can still play on the defensive end. Contribution, although Brown hit a wall, he still has stable firepower. However, the remaining Pritchard and Hauser are the keys to completing the puzzle.
Boston, located in the northeastern United States, is entering a cold December, but the Celtics are off to a hot start to the season. For a team that made a big move in pre-season to introduce Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, being able to temporarily lead the league with 15 wins and 4 losses in the first month of the season seems to be a result that is in line with everyone’s expectations, but if we regard them as When this is a team that is all-or-nothing and trading depth for strength, you know that this current situation is not an easy one.
In the new season, following Charles Lee, Sam Cassell and others joined Joe Mazzulla’s coaching staff, the Celtics did not make major adjustments to their tactics, and did not directly allow all substitute players to get playing time.“Hold”Starting the main force, but in fact, by narrowing the rotation list, the players can accelerate the running-in, and by constantly revising the players’ concepts and skills, they can prepare for the playoffs in advance.
The Celtics signed Oshae Brissett, Lamar Stevens, Svi Mykhailiuk, Dalano Banton and other engineering players before the season. Although their playing opportunities are very unstable, the interesting phenomenon is that everyone can do something immediately following coming on the court. He has made contributions and seems to have a good understanding with the “Six Tiger Generals”.The author looked back and thought regarding it followingwards and got a result, that is, when the team has no shortage of offensive points, in addition to the most important 8-man rotation, all the remaining players have to do is“Defense”、“spell”2 things.
Speaking of Mazzulla’s favorite eight-man rotation, Porzingis has certainly become the new Celtics’ thigh, Jayson Tatum has also developed sharper offensive skills, Jrue Holiday and Derrick White have also perfectly constructed a tight perimeter defense, and Al Horford Can still contribute on the defensive end. Although Jaylen Brown has hit a wall, he still has stable firepower. However, the remaining Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser are the keys to completing the puzzle.
《NBC Sports Boston》In his latest column, veteran journalist Chris Forsberg writes:「Slam」Hauser will describe Hauser’s performance this season. This article will also refer to its content to discuss how this undrafted white shooter gained a foothold in the Celtics’ 8-man rotation and became the best substitute for the Celtics this season. The reason for being an important attacker.
Not just a shooter
Hauser, who will turn 26 in regarding a week, was spotted by Brad Stevens, who just took over as GM following the 2021 Summer League. After staying as a two-way player for half a season, he was awarded the GM in 2022. A three-year, $3.56 million formal contract.Under the coaching of Ime Udoka, Hauser did not get many playing opportunities, so everyone’s impression of him still remains.“Three-point shooter”。
In the summer of 2022, Danilo Gallinari, who was regarded as one of the most important reinforcements, was reimbursed due to a serious knee injury. Hauser was just like Mazzulla.“Accepted in times of crisis”Needing to fill the gap in the backup wing, perhaps because of his familiarity as an assistant coach in the past, Mazzulla quickly designed a number of typical shooter running tactics for Hauser, and even slowly discovered some ball-handling offensive skills. Although the speed His movements are not fast and monotonous, but with his excellent basketball IQ, he can not only use fake moves to shake off opponents, but also pass the ball to open teammates in a timely manner.
In the Celtics’ first 19 games this season, Hauser has made 52 three-pointers, 12 more than the same period last season, and also completed 5 dunks, more than he did in the previous two years. The total of 128 regular season and playoff games is 3 times more. This not only means that Hauser is more reused by the coaching staff, but also means that he has increased the frequency of attacking the frame.
Hauser is a very typical“Magic ball”As a scorer, among his 396 shots in the regular season last season, only 21 were not in the penalty area or outside the three-point line; among the 134 shots he has taken so far this season, the number of shots outside the penalty area and outside the three-point line is even higher. There are only 2 times left. In addition to the improvement in all shooting percentages, his accuracy in the penalty area is even as high as 10 of 13 shots.
Still a small lock
Generally speaking, white shooters are often regarded as RBI targets by various teams. The most famous cases are the Heat’s Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson. In last year’s playoffs, the Hawks’ Trae Young and the Heat’s Jimmy Butler also They often beat Hauser in isolation through pick-and-rolls, but it can be unexpectedly discovered that Hauser is not a particularly easy defender to deal with, and he can even be touted as a hidden player in the Celtics formation.“Little lock”。
Judging from the data, under Hauser’s defense, his opponent’s three-point shooting percentage will increase from the expected 37.1% to 41%. However, when Hauser’s opponent tries to shoot less than 6 feet from the basket, When shooting from the outside, the expected hit rate will be significantly reduced from 59.8% to 50.7%. Even if we slightly increase the distance to within 10 feet from the basket, the expected hit rate will also drop from 57.2% to 51.1%.
