The first match of the European Championships showed a dominant performance. Is the Celtics inside player underestimated?

In the first group match of the group A of the men's basketball European Championships, Portugal defeated the Czech team 62-50, achieving a good start in the European Championship; while the Czech team suffered a major defeat from the beginning.

In this game, Portuguese inside star Neemias Queta, who currently plays for the Boston Celtics, has performed impressively. He also played a phenomenal game and made a key contribution to the team's victory. Keta played 30 minutes and 33 seconds in the game, made 11 of 15 shots, 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 0 of 1 free throws. He scored the highest score of 23 points plus 18 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 4 blocks, including 3 frontcourt rebounds, 4 turnovers and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +21.

Kta maintained extremely high basket efficiency on the offensive end. He kept creating threats in the opponent's interior, and the opponent had no way to stop him. Not only that, Keta even hit a three-pointer, which was an unexpected result. Keta's performance on the defensive end is also phenomenal. He also has incredible franchise protection and inside defense. His role in rebound protection is also quite outstanding. It is no exaggeration to say that a large part of the reason why Portugal won this game was because of his top performance like Queta. He simply changed the balance of the game by himself.

In the NBA regular season last season, Keta made a total of 62 appearances, averaging 13.9 minutes, averaging 5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks, 0.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 65% and a free throw percentage of 75.4%. In the playoffs, Keta played 4 games in total, with averaging 3.2 minutes per game, with averaging 2.5 points, 0.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.2 steals per game, and 0.5 fouls, with an 83.3% shooting percentage.

For Keta, this European Championship is an excellent opportunity for him to prove his strength and accumulate self-confidence. In Portugal, he is undoubtedly the team's number one star, and he can get unlimited ball rights and extremely high tactical status as support in the game. I believe that the Celtic uniform group will also pay close attention to Keta's performance during the European Championships. If Keta can maintain this level during the European Championship, according to previous news, we may really have a chance to see Keta become the Celtics starting center in the new season. The Celtics sent off several inside players this summer, and the team really needs a reliable starting center. If Keta can continue to perform like this in the next game, he may really usher in a big explosion in his personal career in the new season.
