Why the Celtics fans go wild through Portugal opening

The Boston Celtics I didn’t have a relaxing offseason. After watching the star Jaison Tatum Rupture His Achilles In May, Boston’s front office was forced to take Roster To avoid heavy financial penalties. This summer Shakeup included trading multiple starters and a loss of favorites on the fans in a free agency, a lot on the fires in Boston faithful. However, the beginning Eurobasket can offer Celtic fans a short return from their summer sorrow.

On Wednesday in Riga, Latvia, Celtictics Center Neemias Kueta put a play for Portugal during his debut to Eurobasket. The Lisbon Domorodach has thrown the Czech Republic in the group opener, throwing play-high 23 points in 30 minutes while only four of his 15 shots from the field were missing. No other player even exceeded 15 points during Portugal’s victory from 62-50.

QUETA also dominated the boards, catching the game-high 18 rebounds – 11 more than the Portuguese second reboumen, Miguel Queiroz. At the defensive end, 7-footer was effectively protected by color and separated the game-high four blocks.

In an international account that was presented by some NBA talent, including Atlanta Hawks Sharp-Shooter Vit Krejci, Queta was undoubtedly the best player on the floor. It is good news for Celtic, because it should play a significant role next season.

In fact, a 26-year-old can even begin. Former start The Celtics Center Kristaps Porzingis has dealt with falcons and the big man’s spare is Hatch grain Signed Inner with Spurs San Antonio. Veteran center Al Horford It’s still on the list, yet it is expected to deviate Boston in the coming weeks to join the golden state warriors.

The first year of the Celtic of the port of Garza is probably the only other center that can cause queta for a place in initial rotation. But QUETA, who arrived in Beantevrow’s in September 2023. years, has an advantage that is more familiar with the Celtic.

If the former G in G League can continue to play as against the Czech Republic, the most highest weakness of the position of the Kelterica will be less visible. Queta will not have a goal in double figures every night, but until it can provide Boston with about 20 to 25 minutes of solid rim and boss, he will do his job.
