The Celtics lost their sixth straight NBA regular-season game today with a 103-91 road win over the Heat. Celtics player Holiday was a standout in the game, shooting 10 of 15 from the field, including 5 of 8 3-pointers, 25 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, a personal season high. After the game, Holiday spoke to the media and shared his feelings about the game and the team’s culture.
Holiday began by praising the Celtics’ team culture: “In other teams, a lot of people on our team might be more focused on individual numbers. But with this team, winning is the most important thing, not statistics. Everyone is willing to sacrifice their data for the good of the team, which is very rare.”
In addition, Holiday talked about his experience playing in a pinkie brace. “I’m trying my best to get used to the brace. Sometimes it feels strange to catch the ball, but there’s no excuse here. I have to give it my all and contribute to the team.”
In this game, Holiday’s outstanding performance helped the Celtics to win. The Celtics are currently in second place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 48-19, showing great strength and team cohesion.
Holiday’s speech shows his deep understanding of basketball and his emphasis on team spirit. He knows that in basketball, although individual statistics are important, it is more important to win the team. At the same time, he also showed perseverance and resilience, even wearing a pinky brace, still able to play at his best level. I believe that in the future, Holiday will continue to contribute his strength to the Celtics and help the team to achieve more victories.
