Brown如意算盤只算對一半 綠衫軍先發中鋒有望在系列賽後段回歸

籃網在昨天的附加賽中以115-108擊敗克利夫蘭騎士順利晉級季後賽，Bruce Brown展望了與塞爾提克的首輪系列賽，表示Robert Williams III的受傷會是勝負關鍵因素。

引用“我們必須與他們保持身體接觸，現在他們沒有Robert Williams III，所以他們在內線的存在感減少了，我們可以盡量攻擊Al Horford和Daniel Theis。”

即便經驗豐富的隊友Kevin Durant深知這樣的說法很容易刺激對手奮力一搏，急忙出面澄清他們非常尊重任何對手。

引用“我們尊重我們的對手，我們不需要談論我們將要對他們做什麼。我不喜歡那樣，但Bruce就是這樣子，他在整個賽季都保持著同樣的能量，但我們不用這麼說，就讓我們上場打球吧。

但現在最新消息傳出，Bruce Brown的如意算盤可能只對了一半，因為Williams可能會在系列賽後段復出。ESPN的Adrian Wojnarowski率先報導，塞爾提克的先發中鋒很有可能在與布魯克林籃網的首輪比賽回歸。

“通常這種半月板手術可能在一個月的時間內可以回來，他一直在進步，到目前為止我被告知他的進度已經達到了所有基準，波士頓很有可能......他可能會在這個系列賽的後段回來與籃網比賽。”

毫無疑問，Williams是綠衫軍防守端的關鍵核心，根據NBA.com的數據，當他在場時，球隊的防守效率為103.4。當他不在場時這個數字上升到106.6。本賽季Williams場均得到10.0分9.6籃板2.0助攻2.2阻攻，投籃命中率73.6%，正負值為+6.1。

另外即便是只有Horford和Theis可以出賽的情況下，塞爾提克的防守並不會下降太多，兩人的防守效率分別是103.4和104.6，所以Durant才會小心翼翼不願意低估對手。

引用“這兩個傢伙（Horford和Theis）可以做和Williams一樣的事情。我告訴你，這不會那麼容易。”

引用"We respect our opponents," he said. "We don't need to talk about what we're going to do to them. I just don't like that, but that's how Bruce is. He comes in and keeps the same energy throughout the whole season so, but we don't need to say s--t like that. Let's just go out there and hoop."

引用"The thought from the very beginning was, because of the nature of this meniscus surgery, that he could be back even within that one-month timetable," Woj continued. "He's continued to progress, he's met all his benchmarks so far I'm told, and there's a real possibility for Boston ... he could be back to play against the Nets in the back end of this series."
