Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fouls

After getting to know each other with the neighbors, the matter of moving was naturally over, and Shi Lei naturally had the money to find another house or simply buy it, but thinking of the upcoming 08 years, and the terrible financial tsunami - the subprime mortgage crisis, Shi Lei gave up this plan.

On December 17, Beijing time, the Celtics took their 20-1 record and challenged the Raptors away. Here, they used their defense to capture Toronto.

Thunder. Allen continued to be sidelined, and Shi Lei became the starter again. Although the Raptors were playing at home, they completely lost their touch in front of the Celtics' defense, and after 6 minutes of play in the first quarter, the Raptors only shot 2 shots.

However, the Celtics' shooting rate is not high, and only Shi Lei, who mainly relies on breaking through the basket and dunking or layup, because he always shoots when he is closest to the basket, he maintained a high shooting rate and scored six points in a row to help the team take a 10-6 lead.

The Raptors are a very mobile team, which has nothing to do with the emaciation of Bosh and Bagnani. However, this also makes it difficult for them to stop the high-impact players from wreaking havoc on their baskets.

Shi Lei, who had a good breakthrough effect, frequently hit the Raptors' interior in the following time, and at the end of the first quarter, he scored a team-high 13 points.

In the game during this time, Shi Lei's breakthrough, although there was a lack of changes, but the strong impact under the basket made the teams that played against the Celtics unable to find a good way to deal with it. Many people who are opposite Shi Lei say that among the active NBA players, there is only one person who has a stronger impact under the basket than Shi Lei, and that is LeBron. James. However, all this was covered up by the American media, who still lashed out at Shi Lei unscrupulously. Only the media in Boston would be interested in these and willing to report on it.

It is not enough for an international player to make a name for himself in this arrogant and malicious country. They have to be good enough to make the American media, who have a pair of dog-eyes, close their eyes in despair, or simply blind their dog-eyes.

Just like Nowitzki and Gasol, are they really worse than the "big four"? At least Webb and Rashid. Wallace is no better than these two, both in terms of team record and individual stats.

Another example is Yao Ming, who is already the active "No. 1 center", but he still has to be careful that the referee sometimes has obvious targeted decisions.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Raptors still didn't find anyone who could stop Shi Lei's surprise attack, although they had some countermeasures, but this was not enough to stop Shi Lei, it just made it more difficult for him to shoot.

Shi Lei didn't force it, and transferred the ball out again and again to assist his teammates.

On the contrary, it was the Raptors, at the beginning of the second quarter, Bosh, who was the most threatening player in their basket, was strangled by Shi Lei and Garnett, and only scored two points in six minutes, which was also their tight two points.

Don't mention Perkins, his poor control of his fouls made Rivers no longer arrange for him to defend some highly skilled interior lines after having the option of Shi Lei. After all, his tonnage still has a great deterrent effect on the basket. Keeping him on the field is a natural barrier for the Celtics.

The Celtics went on a 16-2 spurt in the first six minutes of the quarter to take a 21-point advantage at 40-19.

At this time, Shi Lei had scored 18 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, and handed out 2 assists.

After that, the Celtics switched to the bench, and it was only at the end of the first half that the Raptors chased the score to 36:50.

In the following games, the Raptors never closed the margin to within 10 points, and the Celtics won the game 90-77.

In this game, Shi Lei played 34 minutes, scored 29 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and handed out 4 assists. In terms of scoring, he set his own personal record for the highest score, but he was only one point short of breaking 30 points, which still made Shi Lei secretly shake his head and feel pity.

After returning to their home turf, Celtic suffered their first game of December, which also kept their home winning streak at the unlucky figure of 13.

The opponent of the Celtics in this game is the "Pistons Gang" that is about to fall apart, as the main opponent in the East and the leader of the two divisions in the East, the competition between the two teams is very fierce.

Well, maybe it shouldn't be described as intense, and it's more appropriate to use it as boring.

It's a defensive battle.

However, to say that there is still a fierce situation, the winner of this game was not divided until 0.1 seconds on his deathbed.

The Celtics led by 10 points at one point, ending the first half with 52-45. The Pistons trailed the score at 59-60 with 3:21 left in the third quarter. Under the tight defense, both teams did not shoot well, and after three quarters, the Celtics led 65-61.

The Pistons outscored shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, and the two teams began a tug-of-war. With 18.9 seconds left in the quarter, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer to tie the game at 85-85.

The turning point of the game came, Rivers replaced Shi Lei, who was harder defensively and had better physical strength, to the court and replaced Ray. Alan.

After the timeout, Shi Lei used his physical explosiveness to steal Hamilton's shot, and the Celtics had an offensive opportunity, but Pierce missed the shot with 2.9 seconds left in the game, leaving the Pistons with the final shot.

2.9 seconds, a matter of a moment, but sometimes it can make or break a game.

The Pistons called a timeout and laid out the tactics for the final shot.

After the timeout, the basketball was quickly passed to Hamilton, an unusually slippery scorer who was the main scoring point in the Pistons system.

When everyone thought that he would come to shoot the ball that would decide the fate of the two teams, Shi Lei, who was defending him, also watched his every move carefully. Hamilton, however, made an unusually clever choice, and after attracting the defense, he re-passed the basketball to Billups.

Billups forced a breakthrough with the ball, and Shi Lei was shocked and hurriedly made up for the defense.

This move excited the American media after the game for a long time, and they finally found an argument to criticize and criticize.

Billups used his game experience to cause Shi Lei's foul. With 0.1 seconds left in the game, he made two free throws.

Billups hit both free throws to make the score 87-85, handing the Celtics their second loss of the season and their first home loss of the season.

After the game, Shi Lei's foul became the target of fierce criticism by the American media. A lot of people are waiting for this day to come, the reporters of the media, the fans who don't like him, the other role players who are envious and jealous of the treatment he gets, and ....... His teammates!
