People have thoughts, so they have too many troubles. Since returning to Boston www.biquge.info Shi Lei has been in an extremely bad state, and his mood is always extremely irritable.

He couldn't forget Alice anytime soon, and at the same time he was ashamed of Jenny. His heart, as if it had been hanging on the wall, was suddenly taken off, and he couldn't find a place to put it.

But life always has to go on.

The Celtics had their first game since All-Star.

After leaving Boston, Shi Lei felt that his breathing was much easier. This would have been unthinkable two days ago. Every away game before this is a torment of a chick out of the nest, which makes him look forward to returning quickly, immediately!

The Celtics will have to go through five terrifying away games on this trip, and their first opponent is the Denver Nuggets.

Anthony and Iverson have been unsatisfactory since they partnered together last year, and after more than a season of running-in, they still haven't found the point of dominance that the two All-Star offensive backcourts should have. Prior to the All-Star break, their record was 32-20, almost equal to the record of the two of them leading a team individually.

The Celtics have not had a good record recently, and Garnett's absence has had a big impact on the team. From the late January period to the first half of February, their results have also been stumbling. But the good news is that Garnett is finally coming back after almost a month of missing games, and it's this one.

Not playing for a long time made Garnett feel bad about the game. As the most important pillar of the team's interior line, he only got one shot in the first quarter of the game and did not hit it. In defense, he was also suppressed by Camby and Martin, and only grabbed two rebounds.

Garnett's apparent discomfort with the game led Rivers to substitute him near the end of the first half.

Replacing Garnett was Shi Lei.

Rivers has always cultivated Shi Lei as a small forward, but in the position of big forward, whether it is Davis or Bryant, it is difficult to bring much help to the team, and Shi Lei is obviously more adaptable in this position than in the small forward position.

In the NBA, there are actually many players who are not tall enough but play the No. 4 or No. 5 position, such as Haslem of the Heat, Millsap of the Jazz, and the iconic figure of the short interior line. Wallace and Barkley.

These people have different scoring ability and defensive ability, but they almost all have one thing in common - always maintaining concentration and enthusiasm for the game.

Almost every player who plays against them, plays them with a big and small misalignment. A lot of tactics are pursued in dislocation. However, their dedication to the game makes the dislocation of these moments not so obvious.

But the misalignment didn't go away, and when they slackened a little, the misalignment appeared. This is also the reason why Rivers has developed Shi Lei, who is obviously more comfortable with the interior, as a small forward.

In the position of small forward, Shi Lei's advantages in all aspects are extremely obvious, as long as he plays normally, it is easy to play, but in the position of big forward, as long as Shi Lei is a little sluggish, he will play very ugly.

This game proves that.

After Shi Lei replaced Garnett, Ray . Allen misses a three-pointer.

Martin, who is opposite Shi Lei, is much taller than Shi Lei, and to protect this rebound, Shi Lei must take the first step to make a move, just like he has done in the past, with flexible card positions and impact.

But being troubled by his emotional life off the field, Shi Lei's concentration on the game was a little lacking, so he moved a little slower, which is the distance between success and failure.

Martin protected the rebound.

The Celtics were quick to return and Iverson was quick to push forward, almost pushing behind the visitors through the half.

In this season, Shi Lei's defense has been recognized by more and more people, the speed of the guard, the bounce of the small forward, and the strength of the interior line, so that he will not have obvious defects in any position he defends, if it is not for the lack of height, he can even defend to the No. 5 position.

In this Nuggets lineup, the athleticism of every player is very good, and after Iverson passed half time, the rest of the players also fell into place one after another.

Shi Lei clung to Martin.

Iverson swayed left and right in front of Rondo, and suddenly wiped his body and came straight to Shi Lei's direction.

At this time, Shi Lei became the last line of defense under the Celtics' basket. Perkins standing under the basket can't be counted on, and he won't do much against a flexible perimeter like Iverson other than pay for a foul.

Seeing that Shi Lei made up for it, Iverson suddenly threw a high ball.

There are trade-offs in everything, and the so-called ability to read the game includes the judgment of trade-offs. Knowing that you can't do it, many times it's not brave, but reckless.

But Shi Lei's current brain is like a computer close to a virus, affected by life off the court, and he has lost the ability to analyze the game that even Rivers admires.

Shi Lei hurriedly turned around and chased after the basketball.

Kenyon. Martin is already on the rise.

Shi Lei's reluctant jump did not hinder Martin, and at his peak, the NBA's famous "Air Force" received a basketball thrown by Iverson into the air and dunked it with both hands.

"Riding the buckle", Shi Lei's seemingly active defense this time just made himself the background of a wonderful goal.

"Oh, our 'King of Slam Dunks' has another great dunk!"

On the live broadcast seat, the local TV commentator of the game loudly mocked Shi Lei.

In the United States, the controversy over this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest has not subsided, and many media have said that this is another "masterpiece" of Stern's marketing promotion.

They ignore that the champion of this slam dunk contest is actually chosen by the fans!

Since coming to this country, Shi Lei has been accustomed to their criticism, but this time, he felt a little harsh.

Kenyon. Martin roared on the field, and the fans at the scene also responded. Shi Lei looked at all this indifferently, and a trace of his most feared emotion grew in his heart!

Resentment, yes, resentment!

Not resentful Kenyan. Martin, he will not resent others for performing better than himself, he will only envy, he will only regard it as his own goal, he resents himself.

In Shi Lei's heart, the last thing he can tolerate is to waste his talent!

There is no reason for self-exile.

"Shi Lei, have you forgotten your pursuit?"
