Duncan rarely challenges Gan Guoyang in the low post, instead, Pierce and Nash use control and isolation to attack the Trail Blazers' defense.
And at the corners, Rick Fox, Bruce Bowen, Cliff Robinson, and others can hit pivotal threes to maintain the lead.
This is exactly like the previous Trail Blazers, where Beelman always emphasized corner plays, surpassing other coaches in the league.
The Celtics aren't the team with the most three-point attempts in the league, but they are the most accurate, utilizing space and efficiency exceptionally well.
One could say, this is a former Portland Trail Blazers team, a terrifying team that dominated the league and steadily stifled opponents.
Not only Gan Guoyang has come full circle back to where he started, but the entire Portland Trail Blazers also find themselves facing their former selves.
