A few days ago, Stevens said in an interview that Lowe had already started training in summer and that today was very important to him-who said no? This year was Lowe’s three or four years, for the first time, I entered the off-season in my health.
In the past two days, Lowe’s trainers have shown a picture of Lowe shooting (even shooting three points) after training a series of blocks.
This gives Celtics fans some expectations:
After all, this is the first time to see the lively Lowe training during the off-season, which is very normal.
But more, it should be that the fans have new expectations for the change of Lowe’s play in the team.
After all, Lowe’s previous play in the team was a bit too stereotyped.
Lowe’s scoring method is slightly single, all focusing on dunking, dunking and second attack. In addition, sometimes Lowe’s own scoring desire is surprisingly low, there were a lot of scenes that grabbed the backboard and didn’t look at the basket and spread the ball out, which caused him to be very miserable in one game.
Until · · ·
After the Celtics first traded Daniel Tess, Lowe really got his own chance.
At that time, he could get 12.6 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in the game, and the field goal percentage after the start reached 79%.
Then playing the rocket, Lowe got 16 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks in 7 shots and 7 shots in 19 minutes, which was the fifth player to achieve this data in the past 40 years, lowe is also the only player among the five who shot 100 percent. At the same time, lowe is also the first player in the history of green army to win 16+13 percent in a single game in nearly 30 years. The last player was the “chief” Parrish in 1991.
Moreover, after this game, Lowe also set a record in the team:
He became the first Celtics player to provide 5 assists and 4 cap in half of the past 25 seasons. Meanwhile, in the last three NBA seasons, only jokiki and Anthony Davis can match Lowe’s data.
Let Stevens speak directly: “Robert obviously provides a positive side to the team. I think we need to build a style for him. 」
However, is it really built?
Although Lowe has shown his potential to lay down (throw) between the middle distance and the journey, Lowe can issue cards on arch top from time to time even if he is not familiar with the team system this year, there are some balls that White can’t pass.
But obviously, he didn’t have many opportunities to do such operations-the team didn’t seem to give him more opportunities to exercise.
Will Lowe be such a player in college?
Is it a defensive Gate & rebound & dunk master?
Not all of them. In fact, it was also written in Lowe’s scout report:
“In addition to defense and physical quality, Lowe has made progress for some time in both face basket and Back Attack. 」
“He is willing to conduct offensive operations in the confrontation, with full impact, which can cause a considerable number of free throws and bring foul trouble to the opponents. 」
“He is not an attacking black hole. He can observe his teammates and properly handle the ball. 」
It was revealed in and out of the words that he had to be given time and experience to try. If he had chosen magic, Wasps and wizards at that time, he would still have a chance to have a look.
But after thinking about it, the Celts chose him.
It was the Celts who had “Owen-Brown-Hayward-Tatum-Horford-Burns-Tess-Morris-rozil” at that time.
So, you know, there is really no chance to brush for him.
To be honest, when talking about Robert Williams, my first reaction was his rookie operation:
The first day I overslept and missed the interview;
Lose your wallet on the way to team training for two consecutive days;
Training home without keys;
I was late for the summer festival and missed the flight · · ·
Which of these things you moved out is enough to prove that this seemingly bluffing 2-meter strong man is actually a rash man.
But think carefully, Robert Williams, he has been in the team for 5 years.
Looking back on the first three years, his experience was as follows:
“Injury-comeback-bench-Red Claw removal-return 」
“Play for 10 minutes-cheer for the team 」
Moreover, whenever Lowe played, we could always find the following scenes:
XXX starts to break through quickly, Luo Wei is in place;
XXX shot three points, and Lowe interfered with his teammates across the forbidden area;
XXX was a layup. Luo Wei fell on the floor after he failed to seal the cover. He was injured and left.
Scared to death.
Yes, his health is also a big problem except that he has no right to play.
For five seasons, the year in which Lowe played the most games was in the early 29 minutes. It was only 30 minutes before the crazy conversion. Then, in the first 99 games of his career, his average appearance was 13.5 minutes (but he could score 5.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.45 blocks).
In the first three seasons, he started 16 games, with an average of 15 minutes (but scored 5.7 points, 5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.5 caps).
You will feel that this player is like this.
In a blink of an eye…
From the season when he entered the finals, Lowe seemed to be one of the pillars of the team and was the last center of Celtics who was selected for the second defense.
By the way, it’s a cold talk…
Last season, Lowe was the only player in NBA history who field goal percentage more than 70% for five consecutive years.
In addition, the DBPM index that he has not been less than 2 in his career is all negative Diff%(frame protection rate, the lower the value, the better, lowe once got a frame guard rate of-35.5 in the playoff of a single season).
This performance is just here. Which coach will be willing to let him change his style of play.
I think the big guy can’t wait to let him play for 35 minutes.
But really, 35 minutes on average? I can’t do it.
His knee has always been accompanied by hidden dangers, and a new injury is basically added every year:
In early December, 2019, Lowe suffered a left hip injury;
Luo Wei suffered back injuries in March, 2019;
In 2020, Lowe’s toes were swollen and absent for almost 2 months;
In the first game of the 2021 playoffs, 9 cap were sent out. The audience didn’t say anything about the terrible shouts. The next day, he suffered a bruise in his hips;
There are also the menisci torn before the playoffs in 22 years.
Moreover, many of these injuries did not happen during confrontation, either they rubbed their legs during the fast break, or they did not see their opponents bumping together.
How to say, maybe Lowe really carried the word “point back.
Therefore, for a skill of Defense + eating cakes + flashing from time to time, it has already performed very well and has no small potential of injury hazards + protection measures. If you are a coach, will you still let him practice on behalf of the competition and enrich his Arsenal?
The team has already given you the answer:
When encountering some specific opponents or back-to-back, they are hidden by snow;
He came back from injury several times, and the opponents chosen by the team were also teams with no special strong inside to adapt him to the game;
One of the three coaches, Stevens, Wu ducurno and mazula, has not been criticized more or less for the transition of player protection.
But what can the team do? Because the system is here, the team is fighting for space, robbing pos and improving speed.
No matter what you do, Lowe is the only one in the Celtics lineup, because his efficiency and effectiveness are the best.
He needs to make good use of (the team also needs to make use of) the property that he can jump and jump, the space inside the stadium, to block to interfere with the rebound, I have to pick up some extremely irresponsible throwing balls from the team guards and strikers from time to time, and then drag the ball down from the air to throw the ball again or dunk, we need to take some risks of injury-I really don’t mean that the Celtics passers are a little less blind to pass on the hanging ball, and Rowell can play several more games.
Back to the beginning of the article, Lowe has been training receive the ball shots after cover recently, which is really a good thing for both the team and his personal career, however, we still cannot expect to see his performance on the court for fans and teams next season.
Because his functional attributes and playing time are still a matter for the team to consider, not to mention that there are polzingis in the team now.
So I think it’s really a pity!
If Lowe could be healthy all the time, Yogueta could practice these skills with the team earlier and Yogueta have enough opportunities to show them. Did the Celtics gain another Kevin-Garnett character? Does the team not have to worry about how to supplement the inner height and skills of the team every year?
If it can be realized, would it be great?!
Although it really happened, Lowe would have been chosen by other teams.
