Faced with a sharp decline in the state of a strong enemy, does the Celtics internal iron gate still lack some stability?

In the second round of Group A of the Men's Basketball European Championships, Serbia defeated Portugal 80-69. After this game, Serbia won two consecutive victories, with a current record of 2 wins and 0 losses; while Portugal suffered its first defeat, with a current record of 1 win and 1 loss.

In this game, Portugal's starting center Neemias Queta also showed a significant decline. Keta played 21 minutes and 43 seconds in the game, made 2 of 5 shots, 0 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -10. Keta, who defeated all sides in the previous game, did not show his own characteristics in this game. He did not get enough opportunities on the offensive end, and his scoring ability at the basket was unable to play, and his effect on the offensive end was also very limited. Not only that, Keta did not show particularly outstanding personal abilities on the defensive end, and his advantages in rebounding protection were not reflected. Keta's overall performance is indeed relatively mediocre. As the team's number one star and an NBA player with many years of NBA experience, his performance is indeed a little worse and he has not shown his full strength.

In the previous game when the team defeated the Czech team, Keta made 11 of 15 shots, 1 of 1 from the three-point line, and 0 of 1 free throws, and got the highest score of 23 points plus 18 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 4 blocks. It also included 3 frontcourt rebounds, 4 turnovers and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +21. Keta performed quite outstandingly in the previous game. He defeated all sides on the offensive end and showed his strong ability to score at the basket. He also dominated the opponent's inside line on the defensive end and played a phenomenal defensive level. Keta's performance on both offense and defense is incredible, which is also an important factor in the Portuguese team being able to win such a victory. As a result, in this game, Keta's performance declined sharply. Facing his powerful opponent, he still seemed to be unable to withstand it.

Ketta played a top performance in the previous game, which also made everyone look forward to his performance. Unexpectedly, in this game, the situation also changed significantly. Of course, Keta is a player with great abilities, otherwise he would not have been able to get a lot of playing time in the talented Boston Celtics, but how strong his personal ability is may be a question mark. Keta is likely to become the Celtics starting center in the new season, and he also needs to seize every opportunity to prove that he is capable of taking on this role. In the next game, Keta also needs to maintain sufficient competitiveness to avoid ups and downs in his condition.
