On March 20th Beijing time, during the offseason, no one expected the Celtics to remain a top-tier NBA powerhouse, especially after a major roster overhaul. However, thanks to Jaylen Brown's leadership and competitive drive, this team possesses all the necessary conditions for success.


After the Celtics' 120-99 victory over the Golden State Warriors, Brown admitted he spent considerable effort understanding his teammates. He stated that he used numerology and astrology to comprehend his teammates and find communication methods more suited to them.
Brown said: "I delved deeply into understanding each person on the team, even down to astrology and numerology. I figured out the communication style that works best for each individual and started applying these methods when interacting with them. Before the season started, I wasn't sure if it would work, but now it seems these methods are indeed effective."
Brown then revealed that everyone's communication style is different, even including differences brought by zodiac animal signs.
"Nemi (Kaita) is a Rabbit, so his communication style differs from White's, who is a Dog," Brown continued. "Gonzalez is also a Dog, Pritchard is a Tiger, JT (Tatum) is also a Tiger. Little Ron Harper is a Dragon. Vucevic is a Horse, and this year is also a Horse year. Everyone's communication style is different."

The method Brown adopted under his friend's guidance might sound somewhat mystical, but it's certain that the results are remarkably significant. Despite numerous challenges before the season began, the Celtics have performed excellently this season, and Brown's dedicated effort to understand his teammates has clearly paid off.
Despite not being favored initially, the Boston Celtics have securely locked in a playoff spot this season. Now with Tatum also returning to form, the Celtics are fully qualified to be considered championship contenders.
Brown has delivered MVP-level performances, becoming key to the team's rise. He averages 28.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game, showcasing phenomenal form. Additionally, he has risen to tenth place on the Celtics' all-time scoring list, making this season arguably the most special of his career.

Currently, the Celtics are among the top teams in the East, even if not the strongest in the entire league. The team's offensive efficiency is 119.7 (ranked 2nd in the league), and defensive efficiency is 111.6 (ranked 5th in the league), placing them in the top ten for both core metrics. They are also one of only two teams with both offense and defense ranking in the top five.
From any perspective, the Celtics possess the capability to contend for the championship once again. The team has a solid culture, a complete roster, and a top-tier duo in the league. Once the playoffs begin, the Celtics will undoubtedly be a formidable force that cannot be underestimated.
