The state has not declined significantly. Can the old Celtics player play an important role in the Trail Blazers?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Portland Trail Blazers at home narrowly defeated the Sacramento Kings 124-123. After this game, the Trail Blazers achieved their first victory during the preseason, with a current record of 1 win and 1 loss; while the Kings suffered two consecutive losses during the preseason, with a current record of 0 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Trail Blazers' new backcourt player Jrue Holiday was still very reliable. Holiday played 21 minutes and 57 seconds, making 5 of 10 shots and 2 of 5 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. He also had 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of +7. Holiday has shown comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He can create threats through breakthroughs. He has also maintained a high degree of stability in outside shooting. He also has certain passing and organizational skills. Even if he didn't show 100% of his strength, his performance on the defensive end was very outstanding. Overall, Holiday quickly proved his ability on both offense and defense and his importance to the team in this game. When he was on the court, the team also had a backbone, and his good performance was also a key factor in the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Holiday was affected by injuries in 82 games, making a total of 62 appearances for his old club, the Boston Celtics, averaging 30.6 minutes per game. , averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.4 blocks, 1.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, shooting 44.3% from the field, 35.3% from three-point range, and 90.9% from free throws. In the playoffs, Holiday played a total of 8 times, averaging 33 minutes per game. He averaged 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game. He also had 2 turnovers and 3.1 fouls. He shot 48.3% from the field, 34.6% from the three-point range, and 69.2% from the free throw line. In the previous preseason game when the team lost to the Golden State Warriors, Holiday made 1 of 5 shots, 0 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 3 free throws in 17 minutes and 14 seconds of playing time. He scored 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 7 assists. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a team-high plus-minus of +17.

This summer, the Trail Blazers completed a deal with the Celtics. The Trail Blazers traded Anfernee Simons and acquired Holiday from the Celtics. Considering that Holiday's performance declined significantly last season, and his contract will not expire for many years, everyone will also be a little worried about his prospects in the team, and feel a little unclear about the Blazers' deal. However, judging from Holiday's performance in these two games, his condition is actually not bad. He can provide a lot of support to the team on the offensive end. His decline in statistics last season is actually closely related to his role with the Celtics. Holiday's role with the Celtics is becoming more and more blue-collar, and his tactical status is getting lower and lower, which also affects his performance. In the Trail Blazers, he can obviously get a higher tactical status, and his performance may also be greatly improved as a result?
