In the second quarter, the Celtics switched to the bench lineup, allowing Jonny to play the main lineup of the SuperSonics with the bench lineup.

However, this did not help Jonny, who was still left to work on his own.

"At the beginning of the second quarter, the supersonic possession, Gary Payton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, this game was a defensive battle between him and Jonny, but it was clear that Gary Payton's defense was better, and he had defended Jonny, who is shooting 52% per game this season, 4 of 11."

"Gary Payton burst inside and made a layup, giving the SuperSonics a nine-point lead." Jonny couldn't keep up with the ball, and he ended up watching Gary Payton hit the layup.

And then the Celtics attacked, Jonny rushed into the three-point line under Gary Payton's very aggressive defense, a step-back jumper, and finally hit the iron again, 4 of 12 shots, Jonny was very helpless, the second quarter just began, he was already a little exhausted, he began to gasp for breath, under normal circumstances, Jonny has to fight until the fourth quarter to appear in this situation.

Then the supersonic attack, in order to recover a little physical strength, Jonny chose to use the W skill of the Infinite Sword Master, temporarily recovering his physical strength, but once again missed Gary Payton.

"Gary Payton rushed inside and dunked, Jonny watched Gary Payton rush Jìnqù with this ball, maybe his fitness has been problematic, after all, the Celtics have played 6 back-to-back games in a row."

Regaining some strength, Jonny turned around and hit a three-pointer on the offensive end, recovering a little bit of slump, shooting 5-of-13 from the field, and the shooting percentage was slightly better.

However, Gary Payton, who was waiting for work, actually took out the defensive intensity of the playoffs, and the defensive intensity increased again, and Jonny hit the iron one after another, and by the end of the second quarter, the Celtics were already 15 points behind. Jonny, on the other hand, has made 7 of 22 shots and hit 15 times in the half, and his shooting percentage is extremely dismal.

At the beginning of the second half, Jonny continued to play iron, and finally the whole game ended, although Jonny scored 44 points. But it was 11-of-37 shooting and 26 irons, and the Celtics lost the game because of it. However, the SuperSonics were not much better, Gary Payton shot 7-of-27 and also hit 20 irons, but the SuperSonics performed on the inside, Sam Perkins hit 5 three-pointers in the game, and Wenbeck also cut 20+10, and finally the SuperSonics successfully won.

It was a terrible game for Celtic. Not only did they fail to win, but they also wasted a lot of energy, and in order to catch up with the score, Jonny played a full 43 minutes in this game!

And next they have to play against the Trail Blazers, which is another difficult bone to gnaw, the Trail Blazers with Avidas Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stadamier and others are also a strong team, but at this time Jonny's physical fitness has reached the limit, so Rick Pitino directly removed Jonny from the 12-man activation list.

As the next game is the last game of Celtic's road trip. Jonny was allowed to go straight back to Boston.

February 22nd. Boston, since the All-Star break, which is February 10, when he travels to the West to start his Western road trip, Jonny hasn't been back to Boston for 12 days, and his teammates won't be back until tomorrow, which is a terrifying schedule.

After returning to Boston. Jonny paid attention to the Portland game, and sure enough, without Jonny, the Celtics lost the game without any suspense, which was the Celtics' fifteenth loss of the season.

Back in Boston, Jonny directly declined several media invitations for interviews. I went home and rested.

For Jonny, the last game against the supersonic made him feel very bad, he hit 26 pig irons, which has already created his own iron record, and Jonny wants to use his ass to zhīdào, those media who apply for an interview must ask about the iron, Jonny doesn't want to dwell on this issue, he is a player with a high hit rate, and rarely hits iron.

And this crazy iron is just a physical exhaustion, plus Gary Payton's defense, and his teammates are not in good shape and have to come by themselves, the result of these reasons, and the Celtics only meet the SuperSonics 2 times a season, and the Super Long West road trip, Jonny also encountered such a once, so it is still difficult to have a crazy iron again.

Jonny has confidence in himself that he will definitely not be so crazy in the future, so Jonny doesn't want to waste any saliva on this topic.

Jonny had a day off in Boston, and the next day the Celtics returned from Portland, and Rick Pitino also announced that he would stop training the next day, asking all the players to rest at home, and then called Jonny to stop training at the gym the next day.

Jonny also responded, if it was usual, even if the team didn't train, he would have to go to the stadium to practice, but this time he was really not ready to go, and after a good rest for three days, the Celtics welcomed the challenge of the king at home again.

At this time, the Celtics have recovered from the fatigue of the previous consecutive away games, this game against the original King, the Celtics ended the game in the third quarter and won the 41st game of the season, just like that, the 50% win rate has been put into the pocket of the Celtics.

On Feb. 27, the Celtics defeated the chaotic Warriors at home to win their final game of February.

Then came the March game, when the players' union and the league had already started labor negotiations, and on March 1, Denver Plateau, the league officials and representatives of the players' union began the first round of talks here, and Jonny also paid a little attention, and it seemed that the situation was not good.

The old collective bargaining agreement expires on June 22, which means that if a new collective bargaining agreement is not negotiated by then, then the NBA players will have to leave the NBA, and then the league will begin to shut down.

Now it's not just the league that's in a hurry, the players are also very anxious, they don't want to just have no ball to play, like the Celtics, Derrick Coleman is very concerned about the new collective bargaining agreement, and uncharacteristically began to communicate with other teammates in the locker room about the new collective bargaining agreement, constantly complaining about the league's unkindness.

Jonny just smiled, his zhīdào Derrick Coleman's idea, Derrick Coleman just wants to make more money, his contract will expire this season, and the game has been played so far, Derrick Coleman should be regarded as a playing price, since the transfer to the Celtics, Derrick Coleman can get an average of 18 points and 10 boards per game, it can be said that once the new collective bargaining agreement is negotiated, for Derrick Coleman, a contract of 10 million cannot run.

And Jonny's new contract is also going to be delayed, after the Celtics' home win over the Trail Blazers, Karl personally rushed to the arena and informed Jonny that because of the unfavorable labor agreement negotiations, they could not renew Jonny's contract in advance, maybe Jonny could only survive the last year of his rookie contract before signing a contract,

In this regard, Jonny is still very distressed, which means that Jonny has to have one less income, and it is a large amount, because the team revealed before that they would give Jonny a big contract of hundreds of millions for 5 years, compared to the current rookie contract with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, Jonny has less than tens of millions of income!
