He is indeed quite hardworking, but Brown is indeed incapable of becoming the core figure of the Celtics?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G6, the New York Knicks, who returned to their home court, defeated the Boston Celtics 119-91. After this game, the Knicks locked the total score of the series at 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. They will compete with the Indiana Pacers for a place in the finals; while the defending champion Celtics were somewhat unexpectedly eliminated in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In this game, the Celtics' starting small forward Jaylen Brown worked very hard, but it was obvious that his efforts could not have a good effect. Brown played 31 minutes and 47 seconds in the game, made 8 of 20 shots, 3 of 9 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored the highest score of the team with 20 points plus 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. He also had 7 turnovers and 6 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -30. Brown worked very hard on both sides of the offense and defense. He scored a lot of points in various ways on the offense, but his offensive efficiency was not outstanding. It was indeed difficult for him to improve his offensive efficiency when facing the opponent's high-intensity defense. Brown also made a lot of mistakes, which also exposed his lack of skills and basic skills. Although Brown also wants to provide more support to the team on the defensive end, he has also made a lot of fouls. In the end, the team suffered a crushing defeat.

In the NBA regular season this season, Brown made a total of 63 appearances in 82 games, averaging 34.3 minutes per game, averaging 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 2.6 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 34.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.4%. In the playoffs, Brown averaged 36.5 minutes in 11 games, with averaging 22.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks, and 3.5 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.1%, his three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 75.8%.

Brown's overall performance this season is certainly not bad, but as the FMVP winner last season and as a key figure in the team's championship last season, Brown's performance cannot be considered a particularly ideal level. Brown's data all look average, and his offensive efficiency and his three-point shooting percentage are not particularly outstanding. In this game, with Jayson Tatum absent, Brown received a lot of ball rights and shots as support, and everyone has seen the actual situation. Under Brown's leadership, the team is indeed relatively limited in competitiveness. Brown's performance also shows that he is indeed incapable of becoming the team's number one star and core figure.
