Chapter 427: Magic Three Kills

After the Celtics lost to the Devils, their number of defeats this season finally reached ten, and the media who saw Shi Lei beat himself in the mouth couldn't wait to stand up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"To challenge the Bulls' 72-win record? But the Celtics have reaped their 10th loss and are 18 games away from the end of the season, so are they ready to end an 18-game winning streak to end all of the regular season? ”

Like the shark who asks about the smell of blood, the relentless pursuit of the Celtics did not bother the Celts much, and the Celts had no time to pay attention to those people because of their new troubles.

The Celtics defeated the Heat and Grizzlies again, but in the game against the Bucks, the team's main point guard Rondo unexpectedly sprained his foot.

For an athlete, injuries are an indispensable partner, and Rondo is not the most unlucky one in the NBA's injury wave since March, he will only expect to miss five to seven games, but this is still an irreparable pain for the Celtics, and House, who does not have much organizational skills, has become the only candidate for the Celtics' point guard position.

House is completely irreplaceable for Rondo, especially defensively, which makes the Celtics' proud defense suffer a huge challenge in the rest of the game.

On March 18, Beijing time, the Celtics challenged the Bulls away.

For the Bulls, every battle is a battle of life and death. They tied with the Bucks for eighth in the East before the game, and every game could decide whether they make the playoffs. It's also one of the toughest opponents to play against at this point in the season, as they don't give up at any point.

The two Kings veterans that the Bulls traded over after the All-Star break, John. Salmons and Brad. Miller did a lot of damage to the Celtics, and the two of them combined for 42 of their 57 points in the first half to help the team bite the gap with the Celtics.

In the crucial third quarter of the game, in order to make up for the defensive holes caused by Rondo's absence, Perkins was fouled by the Bulls early and went off the break, which became the turning point of the game.

The Bulls tightened their control of the rebounding ball in the subsequent game. Miller grabbed three rebounds in a row with the help of his teammates, and the Bulls took the lead of the game for the first time.

They held the lead until a little over three minutes from the end of the race.

With 3:12 left in the game, Pierce made a layup, and the Celtics scored four points in a row to take a 113-111 lead.

But at the critical moment, Rose caused Perkins's offense again, thus completely knocking the opponent off the court. Losing this inside barrier, the Celtics let the Bulls play a wave of 6:0 and thus take away the game!

Some people don't see how good they are in the game, but they are crucial, like Perkins. But that's not the only flaw that Celtic have exposed in this game.

After House became the team's main point guard, Rivers had no choice but to use Giddens, who had been on the cold bench.

It's hard to tell which of them is more capable and which is less capable of the aging House, but just as House cannot replace Rondo, Giddens cannot replace House's role on the bench at all.

The Celtics have Shi Lei on the bench, so they don't have to worry about the organization, and Giddens doesn't seem to be much different from House in that regard. But in fact, the complete opposite, it's not just a matter of tacit understanding.

House is the only man on the Celtics' bench who shoots from the outside, and while he doesn't usually score many effective points, he's a man to be ignored by the Celtics' opponents. Therefore, Shi Lei is less, not just a ball point, less house's containment, and the defense that Shi Lei faces is much tighter than before. The opponent can safely shrink all the defense within the three-point line, which also brings a lot of trouble to the Celtics' break-through off-line offense.

So although in this game, Shi Lei played 23 minutes and scored 24 points, it still didn't help the team win!

The problem leaked out, but Rivers couldn't find a way to adjust, and there was no time to adjust, so they hurried to Miami.

Here, their problems were magnified a little more, and they almost capsized here and returned to Boston with two consecutive defeats. Yes, almost, and this is the Heat with Wade out injured!

"Wade is out with injury, the Heat are pushing the Celtics into overtime, what's wrong with the defending champions?"

In this unfavorable situation, the Celtics traded a veteran base salary to Marbury, who was once the "Light of New York". (I forgot about the horse commissar, add here, don't spray!) )

At this time, Marbury and the Celtics were in a similar situation, they were in a situation where everyone shouted and beaten, but this does not mean that they are a "natural pair"!

Marbury did play a few good games with the Celtics, including his first game against the Spurs since he arrived with the Celtics. Eager to turn around his image and find a team to take him in next season, he was very "selfless" in this game. He scored just nine points but dished out 12 assists to help the Celtics win 80-77 over the Spurs.

But after helping the Celtics to a three-game winning streak, Marbury was a little uncomfortable, especially after Rondo's return.

Rondo is not as good as Marbury in terms of individual ability, which must be admitted, but Rondo does two things very well, one is that he is not greedy for the ball, and he does not mind giving the ball to Ray. Allen or Shi Lei organized and didn't mind sending basketball to Garnett, and the second was defense, which made him a perfect fit in the Celtics' lineup, which was difficult for Marbury to match.

But Marbury didn't think so, so after being on the bench, Shi Lei became a role player next to him!

This is not a wise choice, in the Celts, Pierce can't deprive Shi Lei of the rights he already has, let alone the newcomer Marbury.

However, after giving up on Marbury, the troubled Celtics were unable to finish their ups and downs in March despite being fully staffed.

The Celtics, who came to Orlando and vowed to avenge a few arrows, let the Magic complete the "three kills" against them this season on their home court!
