The core of a team is sometimes not only tactical, but also has an impact on the team's morale. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Howard's stance not only made the Magic lose a defensive core, but also made the Magic's morale fluctuate hugely.

But in the eyes of outsiders, all this has become the role of Celtic to strengthen the defense.

It's impossible for Rivers not to seize this huge opportunity, and without Howard, Shi Lei's defensive focus is also completely invested on the outside.

The biggest player on the Magic court right now is Lewis, one of the few swingman players who has been selected as an All-Star, but in his stellar career, he has never made an impression of will, fighting spirit, or anything like that. After Howard went off the court, when the team needed him to lead the most, he got lost in Shi Lei's defense!

"I don't know what the shooting is, Lewis's outside three-pointers are at least a basketball court away from the basket, but we can see that Shi doesn't have any body parts touching him when he is defending!"

Yes, Shi Lei will not spend his precious foul count on Lewis, but his exaggerated jumping ability still gives Lewis a lot of defensive pressure, which contributed to the birth of this "unknowing" shot in Barkley's mouth.

Perkins protected the offensive rebound, and when Howard wasn't on the floor, he became the Celtics' most trusted giant under the basket.

Shi Lei reflexively responded and completed the handover of the ball with Perkins.

No one could defend Shi Lei's dribbling advance, and the force of his impact was so great that Pitaglu lost his position in an instant.

Then the defenders who hurried back to the half court of the Magic were chased by Shi Lei one after another, and then overtaken, and when he reached the basket, only Alston was left in front of him.

"The pull-up jump shot, the Celtics opened with a double-digit lead, and it seems that the game between the two sides is inevitably going to enter the final tie-break!"

After the team fell behind with a score of 3:2, Shi Lei's offensive desire in this game was very strong, covering five of the team's first six shots, and all of them hit, leading the troubled Celtics to lead the Magic in the first three minutes. The fans at the scene are very crazy now, and we can see through the broadcast footage that almost everyone got up from their seats, holding posters or cartoons of Shi Lei in their hands, but Shi Lei is still very calm, and he doesn't have any celebratory actions......"

The Magic's offense slowed down, but the margin they fell behind was still inevitably expanding rapidly, they couldn't break through the Celtics' outside defense, and they didn't have that strong connection point and rebounding guardian under the basket.

It was a brutal divisional final, the first in history, in which the Magic hit just one shot in the opening six minutes, and yes, they scored just two points, but they allowed their opponents to score 18 points, which is already comparable to the embarrassing 24-point deficit that the Celtics set in the Finals last season.

"Pause! Magic shouted a timeout! Oh my God, this was a disastrous start for them, and they had to make adjustments right away, right away! But will the Celtics give them a chance? ”

In Barkley's passionate commentary, Van Gundy replaced Howard, he was surprised by the speed of the team's collapse, and at the same time surprised by the fighting spirit of the Celtics, he was no longer thinking about this game, but couldn't help but think: "Can we get a chance in the tie-break?" ”

It's not to blame that he is weak and has no fighting spirit, let's just look at the expressions of the Celtics. Rivers was excited but not excited, still holding the tactical board, quickly saying something to the players, Pierce was also in water, as if they were behind, and Shi Lei, who had scored 14 points, didn't seem to know what he had done, his hand was on Rondo's shoulder, like the other party, listening carefully to Rivers's tactical arrangement!

"The Celtics decided not to give the Magic a chance to turn the tables and we've never been a team to get carried away!"

Larry. Bird swears that he knows this team, and understands the culture and heritage of this team!

Yes, the Celtics have not forgotten the fact that they are still laggards, and the wonderful start has only made them more confident and more motivated. However, the Magic did not intend to give up, and Van Gundy began to seize all this time and adjust the team's tactics after that bad thought briefly flashed through his mind.

Soon, the two teams were back on the field. The Celtics have defended more tightly, their movement has become more agile and their fighting spirit has been higher. The Magic players are also actively running positionally, but they can't compare to the Celtics players in terms of individual athleticism, especially their morale, which is far less exuberant than their opponents.

Shi Lei's "death entanglement" denied Lewis a chance to catch the ball, and Turkoglu was also in Ray. Allen couldn't find a good shot in front of a more dangerous defence.

At a critical juncture, Howard took on the responsibility of a team leader: "Sido! ”

Howard's outstretched big hand allowed him to quickly catch the basketball.

"Smack!"

But a ferocious steal ensued and the basketball disappeared from his hand in an instant.

"Squeak!"

Shi Lei raised his arm, but his eyes were still looking at Howard intently, clearly telling the other party: "You can't get a chance!" ”

The situation on the court is changing rapidly, and how to make the right choice at the right time is a problem that many players have encountered or have not yet solved, but Shi Lei's defensive choice has been unanimously praised by everyone!

"Shi Lei immediately chose to foul, because this team is very important to magic, they must break their goal drought, you must know that they only hit one goal in the first six minutes!"

This is Director Zhang's explanation, and Yao Ming on the side also agrees with it.

"Yes, Shi Lei's foul is very valuable!"

"Oh, the young leader of the Celtics has a great ability to time it, and he sent his own foul just right! He's a really smart guy, and there's no denying it, it's a lot like me! ”

Barkley also said this in the commentary table with a sincere face, but his honest "little Langjun" expression did not help him get his partner Kenny. Smith agreed: "Hey, Charles, please don't use you against the stone, you have to know that this is the biggest insult to his choice this time!" ”

Well, the next topic has nothing to do with the pitch anymore, let's cut through the unscrupulous duo who forcibly steal the show.

Larry at the other end. Bird also kept nodding: "I dare to say that this will be the most exciting and meaningful foul in this year's playoffs!" ”

"Yes, I think the best part of the stone body is here, he always knows what to do and when!"

Bill, who has been assigned to the "Celtic Gang". Wharton, too, expressed his opinion.

But Mr. Van Gundy didn't have time to sigh about this, and the moment Howard was fouled by Shi Lei, he instantly moved to the sidelines and reminded the players loudly: "Dwight, watch out for your foul!" ”

This calmed down Howard, who walked to the free throw line and thought that he would definitely give the opponent's next offense a good look.

Very timely reminder!

Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders, his little trick was recognized, but he didn't have many regrets, this was just an easier way to win, if these couldn't be done, then it would take some effort, and he wouldn't mind.

Howard, who inherited the fine tradition of American centers, lost two goals in the boos of the fans, his heart was too chaotic, calmed down, and did not let him put all the distractions in his heart, especially the premonition in his heart that was not good for the game!

Shi Lei protected the rebound, but when the Magic players desperately returned to the basket, Shi Lei brought the offense into a positional battle.

The fast break can expand the team's lead, but it still can't solve any problems, only at this juncture, give them the most fatal blow, can make them completely wake up, any of their thoughts about victory, is a luxury!

Entering the penalty area, Shi Lei suddenly reversed, threw Lewis who was following him out of a position, and received a pass from Rondo.

didn't stay, Shi Lei launched an attack sideways.

Lewis's defense didn't fall into the right position, and it was a touch of collapse, and the embarrassing thing is that the Magic had to lay heavy troops on the team's perimeter. Allen and Pierce just didn't make a shot, and if anyone doesn't defend well in that regard, they don't mind making people aware of the huge mistake they've made.

"Bang!"

Shi Lei's body made a close contact with Howard, and the instantaneous force generated by the collision made them unconsciously shake the center of gravity of their bodies. Shi Lei, who has a shorter body control ability and trains harder and more diligently, undoubtedly has a greater advantage, and he took advantage of the opportunity to complete the turn, while Howard just forcibly stabilized his center of gravity.

"Bang!"

Shi Lei's back was forced. The huge force made Howard's body center of gravity turn into a pendulum again.

Shi Lei rose from the ground and instantly drove to the basket.

With a "boom", Howard regained his steady, but the basketball had already passed through the basket, grazing his body and falling to the floor.

At this time, people finally began to believe that Shi Lei was really able to complete the mutual explosion with the "first center", and it must be when Mr. "First Center" felt good!

"Oh, incredible! Incredible! Howard didn't even have anything to do about Shi's back, even when he was very well prepared! In the accidental loss of Kevin. After Garnett, the Celtics finally made up for the biggest shortcomings in their team, so can the Celtics still be stopped by magic? And I swear that if we put aside all the shortcomings of Mr. Buckley, or ignore the enviable virtues of Stone, the two of them are undoubtedly very similar in this position! ”

Barkley: "......"

"Am I so frustrated?"

He suddenly began to doubt life!

Well, this is not Barkley, Jordan can't let him bow his head, let alone Shi Lei, who only played such a performance: "Forget Kenny, everyone has a sudden outburst, it's just a game, although it's very important, but it doesn't say anything." If he wants to be me, he has to double the size of his ass! ”

Barkley patted his ass proudly.

Van Gundy stood on the sidelines with his head crossed, he couldn't believe it was all true, because ....... The Celtics were significantly better at this time than when Garnett was on the floor! Garnett definitely doesn't have that kind of impact!

"Shi Lei continues to play singles! Very morale-boosting consecutive individual basket singles, this is already his sixteenth point in the game, Howard has nothing to do with him, this is really very surprising, we can see the two coaches on the sidelines, the expression is very interesting now! ”

CCTV5's live camera was then transferred there, which became the most frequent "idle people" footage in the game!

It has also become the focus of some media reports!

"yes, it was a surprise, I can't describe how I felt, I never thought I could be such a threat to Dwight under the basket, it really surprised me, and now I have to readjust our defensive plays! Yes, we have to! ”

Van Gundy brought his frustration to the post-game press conference, and there was no reason why he shouldn't be upset, because just when they were full of ambition and thought their team was about to reach the finals, they lost to their opponents by a score of 85-109!

"It was a crazy night for me, in fact I was very worried about the game before that, but we are very lucky to have a young core like Shi, yes, he has become a leader of this team, he has become as important as Paul, he has done as well as Paul, and even in this game, he did better than Paul!"

Happy Rivers has lost his mind, but fortunately he still retains some composure.

"There's no denying that we're still a championship team. As for scoring, I guess in the face of victory, it's not that important, yes, Shi took the majority of our shots tonight, but I don't think there's any problem with that! ”

Pierce, who got the embarrassing data of 9 points, said this calmly to reporters!
