Throughout November, the Celtics had a 13-1 record, and there were surprises, and it was natural that each of the "Big Three" had the ability to lead a team to victory alone. It's just that I didn't expect the victory to come so quickly, and before they have even become a real team, they have the ability to almost sweep all the teams.
Back in Boston, the Celtics were given a day of recuperation, an average of one high-density game every two days, which allowed them to exhaust almost all their physical strength, and in the last few games, the "superstar spirit" overcame everything and became the most important factor for the team to win.
Of course, Shi Lei and Posey also have a certain contribution in this, when the core players need to rest, and the score is anxious, they will come on the bench to contain the opponent's attack with defense, and ensure that the score difference will not be too wide.
"The outside meat grinder of the third section!"
A fat, a strong, passionate defense, and the entanglement of physical strength at all costs, gave them such a title.
Especially for the defense of James and Anthony, due to the lack of a suitable defensive enemy for these two 03 geniuses, Shi Lei, who can entangle them from beginning to end, added a "good single defense" evaluation after his "single scoring means" comment.
Of course, this is not to say that the media's attitude towards him has improved. No, most of his evaluations are still the word "water".
"They used the 'champion' contract to sign a young blue-collar worker with a single scoring method and good single defense ability, and he still has a pitiful lack of game experience.....
In fact, throughout November, Shi Lei played an average of 10.3 minutes, averaged 9.6 points per game, grabbed 2.1 rebounds, and handed out 1.7 assists, which was the most important bench scoring point for the Celtics.
Whether in terms of support for the team or efficiency value, Shi Lei is not bad, on the contrary, even if he gets an excellent evaluation, it is not so unacceptable.
But the media won't admit this, and they will use Durant's average of 22 points per game to counter Shi Lei's incompetence.
Why Durant? Because the great season of "Auden the Great" is reimbursed!
As a foreigner, an outsider, international players need to accept too much unfair pickiness here.
The short break passed quickly, and the journey of December began.
Their first game was against the Miami Heat, and O'Neal, who was already in his twilight, left his hospital bed and returned to the court. However, it is not very useful, and he may still need to be carefully dealt with by opponents on the inside, but his increasingly sluggish movement usually slows down the team's offensive and defensive rotation indefinitely.
In the first quarter of the game, the "Old Shark" and the "Big Three" were full of physical strength, so the battle was quite intense.
The "Big Three" were in full swing, but O'Neal's huge destructive power under the basket attracted most of the defensive attention of the Celtics inside, which allowed Haslem to score 10 points in a single quarter.
The Heat trailed only 25-31 in the first quarter.
The aging O'Neal had physical problems in the second quarter, and Pierce's focus on defending Wade allowed the Heat to score only one point in the first half of the game, and the margin was widened to 40-26.
House felt hot today, he received a pass from Shi Lei, who broke through the block, and hit two three-pointers in a row, leading the team to play a wave of 15:3 attacks, and won 57-36 to achieve a 21-point advantage in one fell swoop.
The Celtics led 59-41 in the first half.
Shi Lei's breakthrough has been blocked more and more recently, but fortunately, he has a good score, so that he will not be completely locked.
The main force who returned to the court in the third quarter continued to work hard and expanded the margin to 28 points in one fell swoop. But once again, physical strength became the team's worst enemy. The Celtics shot just 2-of-15 from the field in the fourth quarter, and the Heat went on a 22-7 spurt to tie the score at 83-90 with 1:54 left in the game.
Fortunately, the first three quarters of the pit was big enough, and even the Heat's foot pedal hand planer did not fill the hole, and the Celtics continued their victory.
After another day of rest, the Celtics must meet their next opponent at home, the Cavaliers. Luckily, Aunt James came, dressed in civilian clothes, cheering on her teammates on the sidelines.
But without James, Shi Lei still replaced Ray. Alan. He rested in shifts.
A historic winning streak or regular season record has never been the Celtics' pursuit this season, their biggest pursuit is to make the playoffs and then be injury-free!
Even when they stayed on the court, Garnett and Pierce paddled intently, handing the ball to young Rondo and Shi Lei.
So the Celtics only led 43-39 in the first half.
In the third quarter, Garnett suddenly became powerful, single-handedly picking up a team, playing a wave of 13:2, and successfully opened up the point difference and paddled again.
Immediately after Pierce was replaced, as soon as the fierce Posey came up, he teamed up with Shi Lei, and did not let the Cavaliers score a point in 7 minutes.
The career masterpiece of the "third quarter outside meat grinder" allowed the Celtics to lock up the win.
Because the members are made up of rangers, fringe people, and rookies, the Celtics' bench play style is not as strong and tenacious as the main three, although their tactics are more complicated, but they still run in one step ahead of the main team.
Another abominable day of rest, allowing the Celtics to challenge the 76ers away from home, and the Celtics, who have reached their physical limits, are out of shape after the start of the game. And the 76ers seem to have a new atmosphere after changing the general manager. Miller scored 13 points in the first quarter, Idala also scored 11 points in the first quarter, and the 76ers led 32-26 on 14-of-19 shooting in the quarter.
The 76ers led by 11 points in the second quarter, and the Celtics could only tie the score at 52-57 at halftime.
Rivers was about to give up the game, and he made a substitution at the start of the second half.
James. Posey had 14 points and two rebounds. House scored 10 points in the final quarter, contributing 15 points and 3 assists, and Shi Lei had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
The three points of House and Posey, as well as Shi Lei's breakthrough, made the main force of the Celtics in the game change after the game. In the fourth quarter of the game, the Celtics went on a 12-4 run to take a 100-90 lead.
The Celtics have held on for almost a double-digit lead since then to seal the win.
This time, Celtic were given a three-day rest.
Three days later, the recovered Celtics waited for the Raptors. Bosh and Andrey. With Bagnani sidelined due to injury, the Celtics continued their rotation, with Pierce and Garnett resting and only Ray at the core. Aaron one.
There was no suspense, the Raptors lost two in a row, and the Celtics continued their winning streak.
