After 48 minutes of playing, he got 28 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, and 4 3-pointers, which was Hollady's performance in the first game of the Eastern finals. The champion defender proved his worth. He had excellent performances on both sides of attack and defense, especially in overtime when he defended Halliburton alone, forcing the other side to dribble out of bounds, showing solid defensive skills. No wonder the US men's basketball team wants to add him to the list of the Paris Olympics, and no wonder he will be selected as the best defensive second team of the season.
Does the Buck trade Hollady regret it? The Bucks replaced Lillard, but the team was out of the first round of this season. Lillard's cooperation with Alphabet didn't achieve the expected effect, and the team's overall defense declined a lot.
Hollady helped the Green Army win the first place in the regular season this season. The Green Army also successfully reached the eastern finals. He became a hero in the first battle of the eastern battle.
In this battle, the young Pacers showed a strong line-up depth, and the seven members of the team scored in double figures. The Pacers wanted to sneak into the home court of the Green Army, taking advantage of the absence of the Green Army's interior general Boerzingis. However, in this battle, the Green Army's double explorers were brilliant at the offensive end, and Hollady, Derek White and Hoford all performed steadily, thus successfully winning the game.
Hollady has another good news on this day, that is, he and teammate Derek White have been selected into the second team of regular season defense. This is the third time Hollady has been selected as the second best defensive team in his career. In addition, he has been selected as the first best defensive team three times.
Not long ago, guard defense ace Beverly praised Hollady: "In the past ten years, he may be the best defender in defense, whether Smart has won the Defensive Player of the Year or not. Hollady has the advantage of stature, he can defend in the low position, he will not have many fouls. Celtic has a lot of firepower, he does not need to do too much in the offensive end, salute Hollady. ”
As a player who entered the NBA in 2009, Hollady will turn 34 on June 12, but his physical condition is very good. His playing time reached 48 minutes, the highest in the team.
After coming to Celtic from Bucks, Hollady's offensive weight dropped significantly, and his average score in regular games fell to 12.5 points from 19.3 points last season. In fact, Hollady's attack efficiency is higher. His shooting percentage has risen from 47.9% last season to 48.0%, and his three-point shooting percentage has risen from 38.4% to 42.9%, the highest in his career. However, his average shots dropped from 15.3 to 10.0.
Hollady is a very excellent player of the whole team. He has won the Best Teammate Award for three times in his career and the Sports Ethics Award for one time. In this game, Hollady mainly defended Harry Burton, who got 25 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, hit 8 of 18 shots, and hit 6 of 14 three-point shots. With 1:02 left in the last quarter, Halliburton dribbled out of bounds under Hollady's single defense, and the Green Army gained the ball right. Tatum scored three points, leading by 4 points, so as to take the initiative.
It has to be said that Hollady, who has both offensive and defensive capabilities, is a perfect match for double explorers and an important puzzle for the Green Army to win the championship. Before the start of this year's playoffs, the Green Army and the Green Army renewed their contracts for four years in advance of $135 million, which shows that the Green Army attaches great importance to Hollady. And Hollady has also proved that he deserves the trust of the Green Army.
