This is a non-war crime, the Celtics are not bad, but the Raptors are better. Every season, people can always perform inexplicably well in a certain game, but the Celtics are too unlucky and meet the opponent's collective orgasm.

In the game against the Timberwolves, the Celtics did not give the other side another chance. However, the bad news followed, as Garnett pulled up his abs during a steal in the fourth quarter and needed to rest for one or two games.

Shi Lei has always performed well in the position of power forward, and has played well in several games, but this game has made him know why the team insists on cultivating him as a small forward.

Their opponent in this game is the Orlando Magic.

Without Garnett, the Celtics still played well and did not fall behind in the first half. Pierce scored 11 points in the second quarter, Shi Lei also scored seven points, and the Celtics had a slight advantage of 46-43 in the first half.

However, the Celtics were missing the most important player after all, and they were beaten by the Magic in the third quarter, and shortly after the start of the quarter, the Magic hit a series of shots to play a wave of 14-1, and went ahead with 8 minutes and 10 seconds left in the quarter, 57-49. The Magic blossomed inside and out, and after that, the offense continued unabated, at one point with a 16-point advantage of 69:53. After three quarters, the Celtics could only chase the score to 65-75.

In this game, Howard became Shi Lei's nightmare. He is much taller than Shi Lei, and his strong upper body, so that Shi Lei can not protect the position under the basket well, and in the offense, Shi Lei, who relies too much on strength, also allows Howard to cover twice in a row.

In this section of the game, Shi Lei did not score a point.

Shi Lei couldn't cause Howard problems and make Rivers change his defensive strategy. The Magic started the fourth quarter with a 14-3 wave, and Shi Lei's defensive focus was shifted to blocking the opponent's inside and outside passes, a change that worked wonders.

With 7 minutes and 58 seconds left in the race, Ray Murray. Allen hit a three-pointer and they took a 79-78 lead. The Magic made just 1 of 8 shots in the first 8 of the quarter, and their 16-point advantage at one point came to naught.

However, the Celtics then struggled, failing to make a shot in 4:25, and the Magic regained the advantage at 89-81 with less than three minutes left in the game after an 11-2 wave.

In the end, Celtic couldn't beat the scoreline.

Or the position of power forward, and this game Ray. Allen was also injured and sidelined, but Shi Lei performed quite well. Because their opponent this time is the Heat, Shi Lei is facing the aging Mourning, O'Neal and Haslem who is the same height as Shi Lei.

Shi Lei scored 13 points in the first quarter, and his flexibility and impact made the Heat's interior group helpless.

The Celtics led 31-14 in this quarter, and the suspense was lost in this quarter.

In the whole game, Shi Lei scored a season-high 34 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and won the best game for the first time.

The performance of the star is like two people in the previous game. But it is this comparison that makes Shi Lei more aware that in the seemingly better performing position of the power forward, some flaws cannot be made up for with technical physique, and it is far less casual and calm than the outside line that he is not familiar with now.

After the victory over the Heat, the Celtics' January games were all over, although there were many stumbles and many processes were not satisfactory, but because of the excellent results in the first two months, the Celtics continued to occupy the first place in the league.

Contrary to the team's situation, this month is a harvest for Shi Lei, not only did he play a career-best 34+10 data, but the dunk against the Lakers is still hanging on the NBA's official website.

In addition, Shi Lei's average data this month is also a career high. In 14 games, Shi Lei played an average of 21.9 minutes per game, averaging 16.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. In terms of contribution to the team, these statistics are even ranked in the thunder. Above Aaron. Of course, this is just referring to the data, Ray. The defense that Allen encountered was incomparable to Shi Lei.

Thanks to these highlights, and the recent media touting, including the promotion changes at the NBA headquarters, Shi Lei's contract with Adidas has finally come to an eyebrow.

Adidas has a lot of success in Europe, but in the United States, the world's largest economy, their market share has been poor. And China, a country that always accounts for one-sixth of the world's population, has no way to compete with Nike in terms of popularity.

It's all because of basketball.

In the United States, this internationally famous brand in the basketball field, because of strategic mistakes, so far there are only a few first-line superstars such as Maddie, Duncan, Garnett, Billups, etc., and they are all old guys who are fading away, mainly because they don't sell shoes much. In China, they missed Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian one after another, so their market development has not improved.

Shi Lei has actually entered the company's sight for a long time, but he has never joined the national team, and his resume as a non-draft player makes them suspicious.

Their doubts were dispelled, their best opportunity to sign was lost, and things started to get complicated and long. The other party's agent didn't seem to be in a hurry to enter the substantive negotiation stage, and slowly the player's value began to rise.

The value of a player is a matter of opinion, and there are many elements related to it.

If it is a ..... that produces feed Well, it seems that in China, this thing has also started to ask celebrities to endorse.

Shi Lei's current performance is difficult to say bad, but if it is not good, if Shi Lei's American, this performance may really not be cared for, but he is a rare yellow race, Chinese, this is particularly rare.

What's even more rare is that Shi Lei is also the only outside player in China in the NBA. There's no doubt that it's easier to win the hearts of fans on the outside than on the inside.

and Shi Lei, although his personality is not as good as that of the Americans, but the dunk is also rare and outstanding, comparable to a first-line dunk like Carter, all of which makes Shi Lei's worth reach a jaw-dropping height.

All kinds of reasons have taken together to make the value of Shi Lei's body rise again and again.

Before 2007, Adidas' negotiation team gave Shi Lei a value budget of $50 million, and Shi Lei's overall performance in January 2008 increased the contract to between 60 million and 70 million.
