ByDavid Mitchell

Hugo Gonzalez is trapped in a spiral of ups and downs at the beginning of the season. His commitment and defensive impact are always there but in attack he comes and goes. Sometimes offensively incisive, other times too timid, the Real Madrid youth player once again had little effect in attack despite the victory of the Boston Celtics against the Milwaukee Bucks of the former Barça player Kasparas Jakucionis (97 -117).

The Spanish international remained at 0 points, being able to register 2 rebounds and 1 assist in his 10 minutes on the court to also sign a plus-minus of 0.

For his part, Jakucionis was barely noticed with 1 point and 2 rebounds in 7 minutes. Paul George He was the Celtics’ top scorer with 27 points followed by Jayson Tatum (21). Kyle Kuzma was the best with 27 in these post-Antetokounmpo Bucks who sink into last place in the East with 1-9 in contrast to the Celtics, second with 8-2 ​​only behind the Philadelphia 76ers of LeBron James (9-2).

Hugo González left a sparkle with a pass from alley-oop after penetration of the Portuguese center Neemias Queta in what is already known in Boston as the “Iberian connection”, but the 20-year-old forward acknowledged that he has to take a step forward in attack when asked how he can improve this season.

“Just continuing to be a complete player. I need to be a great defender and I can be better offensively. That’s almost all you can continue to improve. I think obviously I’m just at the beginning of everything I can be offensively and defensively,” Hugo said before the game CLNS Media.

The youth squad real Madrid In these first 10 games of the season he has averaged 4 points and 2 rebounds with 42% in field goals and the aforementioned 17.6% in triples.
