Do your best! Unfortunately, the Celtics internal iron gate still failed to withstand the impact of the Rockets internal core?

In a previous group match between the Men's Basketball European Championship, Turkey defeated Portugal 95-54 by as many as 41 points. After this game, the Turkish team, which won three consecutive victories, currently has a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the group; while the Portuguese team, which suffered two consecutive losses, has dropped to 1 win and 2 losses, temporarily ranking fifth in the group.

In this game, Portugal suffered a crushing defeat, but the team's starting center Neemias Queta performed as a try. Keta played 23 minutes and 42 seconds in the game, made 4 of 8 shots, 0 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 7 of 9 free throws, and scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. It also included 3 frontcourt rebounds, 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -22. Keta also worked hard on the offensive end and obtained a certain score, providing some support to the team on the offensive end. On the defensive end, Keta tried his best, but he met Alperen Sengun, who was in a hot state. In this case, he really couldn't show his strength and characteristics, and he really seemed to struggle a little. However, the team's overall strength is indeed far from that of the opponent, and it is indeed difficult for Keta to perform better.

Since the start of the European Championship, Keta has averaged 25.3 minutes in the first three games, with averaging 14.7 points, 9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1 steal and 2.3 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 60.7%, three-point shooting percentage is 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage is 75%, with a per-game plus-negative value of -3.7. Keta's ball rights and tactical status in these games can be said to be ups and downs and unstable. He cannot get enough opportunities in every game, which has also affected his performance on the court. However, Keta has performed well enough, and he can still play a significant role on the offensive end. He also has good rebounding protection and basket protection ability on the defensive end. Overall, Queta has played a role that should be played, but the overall strength of the Portuguese team is indeed relatively average, and Queta's efforts are difficult to receive rewards.

Ketta was born in July 1999, 213cm tall and weighed 112kg. He is the inside player selected by the Sacramento Kings in the 39th pick in the second round in the 2021 NBA Draft. Keta didn't get any chance to play when he played for the Kings, but after switching to the Boston Celtics, his performance improved significantly and he was able to gain more trust. Since the Celtics sent away several inside players this summer, Keta may even become the team's starting center in the new season. I wonder if Keta can perform at a higher level in the next game and prove his value to the team.
