I don\u2019t know what to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"sLJx1P\">Porzingis made his debut in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/\">Celtics<\/a> jersey on Sunday. It may have just been a preseason game, but the atmosphere inside The Garden was that of a playoff classic.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DHFzW6\">\u201cI mean, it was a fun game to play in, a fun game to watch at the end when Payton [Pritchard] was going off, and the whole crowd was into it,\u201d said Porzingis.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9ZsFR7\">He was the first Celtics introduced in the starting lineup pre-game, and he ran down the line of his teammates with a massive grin on his face as the crowd roared. And with the fans behind him, Porzingis nailed a three to open up the scoring. Once again, the building erupted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"E9IlCa\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">17 PTS in his Celtics <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBAPreseason?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NBAPreseason<\/a> debut \u2618\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Boston, Kristaps Porzingis   <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2honErdy08\">pic.twitter.com\/2honErdy08<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1711181003107262646?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 9, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"ncYUU9\">\u201cI was just supposed to stand in the corner,\u201d Porzingis said of the play. \u201cBut the ball came to me, my teammates found me, and I hit the open shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"mCBWVV\">The Latvian big man joined the Celtics by way of a three-team deal with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletsforever.com\/\">Washington Wizards<\/a> and Memphis Grizzlies this summer. The same trade that saw long-time Celtic Marcus Smart make a departure that nobody saw coming.<\/p>\n<p id=\"H2loOa\">With the pressure of being traded for a fan-favorite and a summer injury scare hanging over his head, Porzingis looked comfortable in his unofficial debut.<\/p>\n<p id=\"F9Smhr\">Joe Mazzulla rolled out a starting lineup of Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, and Porzingis, bringing fellow newcomer Jrue Holiday off the bench. The Celtics have a new look this year, and Porzingis will be a focal point.<\/p>\n<p id=\"kjAGzl\">\u201cThat was a good start we had there. It felt good that that was our first kind of official game together, and I think it\u2019s a good first step to keep building our chemistry,\u201d said Porzingis.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Asf4D8\">Porzingis finished the game with 17 points, five rebounds, and one assist while shooting 5-of-7 from the field and 2-of-3 from behind the three-point line.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"e-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"NBA: Preseason-Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics\" data-mask-text=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/ZyWzanW0Nep57Tl2GeNHBNt2rdA=\/400x0\/filters:no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/24988374\/usa_today_21606912.jpg\"><br \/>\n      <cite>Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports<\/cite><br \/>\n  <\/figure>\n<p id=\"OYFp7B\">While he only recorded seven shots, the ball was finding Porzingis early and often in the Celtics\u2019 offense. Fresh off a season where he averaged 23.2 points on 49.8% shooting from the field (both career-highs) and 38.5% from distance, he was ready to capitalize on his newfound opportunities.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5oV8wU\">\u201cI think it\u2019s just naturally going to happen at times because of the mismatches and the two-on-ones he\u2019ll create and his ability to pass it, shoot it, [and] drive it,\u201d Mazzulla said of Porzingis\u2019 opportunities within the offense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7HtC13\">His night was highlighted by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDunkCentral\/status\/1711146872776094062\">a monster lob off an assist from White<\/a>, which once again got the TD Garden crowd out of their seats, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1711151873875382708\">a nasty fake-out move<\/a> that had Danuel House Jr. touching earth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"bMDLoL\">Boston swapped out depth for top-end talent this summer, with Porzingis being a centerpiece of the shift. And while the Celtics will need to configure a consistent depth rotation, the magnitude of their star power was clear against Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p id=\"GkFYo1\">\u201cThey draw so much attention that it opens the game up for myself, and I think that\u2019s what happened early on,\u201d Porzingis said of his new star teammates. \u201cAs I said, the more time we get together playing, the better reeds we\u2019ll make off of each other and defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"Gk1NR8\">Porzingis earned 24:34 of playing time in his (kind of) Celtics debut, as Mazzulla rolled with the starters deep into what was a tightly-contested game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"vOGqbs\">Pritchard eventually helped the Celtics close out a comeback win, and while he stole the spotlight at the end, Porzingis\u2019 dominance was undeniable. With Tatum, Brown, Holiday, and a slew of elite role players by his side, he should have more freedom than ever to be at his best.<\/p>\n<p id=\"pOUuAh\">At Celtics Media Day, Porzingis\u2019 smile persisted throughout his press conference. During the starting lineup intros on Sunday, it was back. And when asked about the TD Garden crowd after the game, lo and behold, Porzingis couldn\u2019t help but let a smile creep onto his face once again. <\/p>\n<p id=\"eVhhss\">\u201cI\u2019m very happy to be a Celtic, I\u2019m not going to lie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"o64SLW\">\n<p id=\"NDBQ0A\">\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        Photo by Brian Babineau\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>  The new face in town received an outpouring of love from the Celtics crowd in his preseason debut.
