"This guy's shooting is obviously very consistent in training, why is it completely different when it comes to the game? Is the difficulty due to confidence or is there some psychological shadow? ”

In the Boston Celtics training gym, the Boston Celtics schedule has been easy in recent times, and this team has completely caught up with the same period last season in terms of record since entering 2004, in the past 47 games this team has won 41 games, and is currently firmly in the first place in the league, and the Lakers, who are ranked second in the league, have a half-win gap from the Celtics at this time, but at this time, It's not all rosy for the team that is currently the number one team in the league, such as the team's backup striker Kirilenko, who is in some trouble right now, or Zhuang Fei, who is a bit of a problem for him.

Kirilenko has been performing well since he came to the Boston Celtics, and he is an important rotation player for this team, and it can be said that he can also be regarded as the player that Zhuang Fei focuses on cultivating in this team, and because of the concern between the Russian and Green, Zhuang Fei also has a different view of the European all-round inside line in his team, after all, this player is also Zhuang Fei's descendant, but sometimes what makes Zhuang Fei more uncomfortable is that it is difficult for this Russian to let Zhuang Fei really reuse or use him.

Such reuse or great use naturally means that he is used as a regular player or a conventional weapon. The Boston Celtics backup forward has been with the Boston Celtics for almost three years. It can be said that he entered the team at the same time as Yao Ming and Arenas, although the Russian player is a little younger than Yao Ming, but this does not mean that this player has a lower starting point than Yao Ming.

In fact, at the starting point, the young Russian interior player came to the Boston Celtics with a double MVP of Europe and Russia, which is naturally more convincing than Yao Ming's so-called best player in the Chinese league, after all, there is no way to compare European basketball and Chinese basketball. The best player of the European Champions Cup is naturally higher than Yao Ming, the best player of the Chinese League, and in fact, even if it is not compared to these real games, if only the ratings of the two on the dynasty system are compared. Yao Ming entered the team with an ability rating of less than 80, while the Russian rookie had an ability rating of more than 80.

Even at the All-Star Rookie Challenge two years ago, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge was won by Yao Ming and Kirilenko at the same time, it can be said that just from the starting point, there is no gap between Yao Ming and Kirilenko, although because of Zhuang Fei's relationship, Yao Ming was cultivated by Zhuang Fei as a core player and the cornerstone of the team as soon as he entered the team, such a positioning makes Yao Ming inevitably much higher than Kirilenko's current growth height, but this does not mean that Zhuang Fei will suppress Kirilenko's growth. Zhuang Fei did not do this and did not intend to do so.

On many occasions, Zhuang Fei has even been thinking about letting the young Russian share the team's starting time with Stephen Jackson. It can be said that although Zhuang Fei never considered making Kirilenko the cornerstone of this team, nor did he cultivate him in this way, Zhuang Fei also hoped that he could become an important starter and rotation player for this team, at least on an equal footing with Jackson, but it was disappointing that the all-round forward, who performed well in his rookie season and was also very high at the starting point, did not grow at all according to the progress that Zhuang Fei wanted, and also did not grow to the height that Zhuang Fei wanted.

Even in the last two seasons, the all-round forward's performance has been a bit bleak compared to the eye-catching performance of his rookie season. And now his position in the team is also a little embarrassing and at the same time a little chicken, and the reason for his embarrassing status and chicken rib role is naturally not anything else, that is, his personal attack, it can be said that this player's personal attack makes it difficult for Zhuang Fei to use him with all his strength.

In Zhuang Fei's impression, whether it is in later generations or now, this Russian leading player is not the kind of absolute blue-collar player, this is a player with very good offensive ability, whether it is a personal shooting or passing and cutting position is very good, but what makes people speechless is that in the past two seasons, the good offensive ability of this Russian leading player can only be shown in training or on the international stage, and in the NBA, the Russian player's offensive desire is even lower than his rookie season, The youngster didn't want to attack at all on the pitch, or gave up on attacking altogether.

Maybe for many coaches, it is a very good thing for a player to have such an awareness, and for many players, a teammate like this is also a thing that can make people happy, but for Zhuang Fei, he absolutely does not want an important player in his squad to have no offensive desire and threat, especially this player is not incapable, but does not want to use it at all, for a problem like Kirilenko Zhuang Fei is not only discovered now nor is he now paying attention to it, That's it for last year.

And in the finals last year, such a problem was maximized, although his offensive ability is not top-notch, but it is not impossible to win a single game when facing the Spurs, and it is impossible to face the Spurs without a single shot, such a Kirilenko directly made Zhuang Fei have to let Jackson and James Posey play more than 40 minutes in almost every game in the finals, and fortunately, James Posey or Jackson are at their best physical age.

"Maybe he's too reasonable, he doesn't want to make mistakes" Facing his teacher's doubts, Steven Green, the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics who was on Zhuang Fei's side, also looked at the Russian player he brought on the training ground and said a little speechless, although he played badly in the finals last season, it doesn't mean that the Russian also scored 0 points on 0 shots when facing other teams, on the contrary, The Russian player has a lot of scoring desire and stats against some underdogs or in some general games. It's just that this is just some general or insignificant games, and in some important games of great significance, the all-round striker has been the same for a long time, and Green and Zhuang Fei naturally know about this phenomenon, and this can only be explained in such words.

"Reasonable is very reasonable, but reasonable is a little speechless" Zhuang Fei finally shook it and sighed, perhaps in the heart of this Russian player, the basketball he pursued with perfect offensive efficiency was itself a misguide. As for why the Russian player took such a wrong path, Zhuang Fei and Green are a little unknown.

Of course, Kirilenko's affairs made Zhuang Fei feel very weird. But for this player, Zhuang Fei did not plan to intervene himself, this was brought by his assistant coach Green from Russia, and in fact, the Russian player's feelings for Green are far stronger than his, so this player is also the only player in this team who does not return to Zhuang Fei's 'guidance', because at this time he is more willing to accept Green's guidance, which is also the difference between this Russian player and other Celtic players.

"Maybe he hasn't treated this team as his own team and has always regarded himself as an outsider, maybe he's still shy for fear of causing trouble to this team" Finally, Zhuang Fei sighed meaninglessly when he looked at the Russian all-round striker who was playing practice games with other Celtics players on the training ground, and Zhuang Fei's sighs were naturally impossible to ignore by Green on the side, but at this time, the assistant coach of the Celtics was also a little stunned after hearing Zhuang Fei's words. Because he didn't think the Russian player would do that. It's just that there doesn't seem to be a better explanation than such an explanation, so when he thought of this, the Celtics assistant coach couldn't help but shake his head.

Of course, Kirilenko is a very important part for the Celtics, especially for the Celtics who want to defend the championship, Zhuang Fei may be able to beat the Spurs in the finals without this Russian, and use James Posey or Jackson fiercely, but this year, the challenge of the Celtics this year is much greater than last year, and the Lakers at this time are not the Spurs of last season. In this case, Zhuang Fei naturally can't let such a player watch his team from the sidelines, Zhuang Fei doesn't want the Russian all-round striker to become a spectator of Celtic, Zhuang Fei needs this spectator to lead the team in person.

Although Zhuang Fei has a great demand for this Russia now, at this time Zhuang Fei still did not plan to find this Russian in person, but handed over all this to this assistant by his side, for Kirilenko, Green will be more effective

Although there are still many things that need to be solved within the Boston Celtics, Kirilenko's late integration problem, Wade's tactical integration problem, the team's defensive system, etc., these are all things that need Celtics time to solve, of course, the better thing for the Celtics is that these internal problems that are likely to affect the Celtics' record this year have also been in a relatively good and benign development. This is also one of the reasons why Celtic's recent internal problems are far from being solved, but they are still soaring in terms of record.

On January 25, 2004, the Celtics visited the Nets, the Nets have been very bad this season, after Kidd left, the team has been in a state of complete 'anarchy', and the players of this team are completely goalless, and this aimless is not only the chaos they play on the court, but also these people don't know what they should do to enter the playoffs throughout the season? It's basically impossible, to get a better draft ranking or to get the top pick? These are completely unknown.

In this case, the Nets' confusion this season is definitely the first in the league, and such a Nets can also make people more aware of the importance of Kidd to a team, but for this Nets, it is a little good news that the team's disturbing sale turmoil has finally calmed down, and this team has finally been sold. Acquired by a New York real estate tycoon Bruce Ratner, of course, almost the whole world knows that this real estate tycoon bought this team for his own real estate business in New York, he is ready to move the team to Manhattan or Brooklyn and then get the government's land support to build a commercial residence on the government's preferential land, which means that the new Nets owner's motives are not pure but it is also the Nets that have made people think about it in the past year can be considered stable.

It's just that even if this team is stable, but in this home game with the Celtics, this brainless team was still slaughtered by the Celtics with a score of 116-90, and in this game, Kirilenko, who scored 21 points in 8 of 12, once again made Zhuang Fei a little speechless, Zhuang Fei hopes that the Russian can also be so aggressive and decisive when facing the Lakers or Spurs.

Of course, the game against the Nets was easy, and it was the 13th consecutive win of the Boston Celtics since 2004 this season, and for the Celtics, perhaps this streak should continue, because the few remaining opponents in the following January are also almost all the weakest teams in the league.

On January 28, three days after beating the Nets, the Celtics sat at home to welcome the third-to-last fish belly team in the East this season, the Pistons, which changed the head coach this season, and the team whose player status has dropped sharply When the two teams met for the first time, the Pistons that had become an outside three-point team still caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics who had just carried out a new defensive system at that time, but it was also the Celtics two months ago, and now, this Pistons almost did not cause any trouble for the Celtics, 106-76, the Celtics beat the Pistons by 30 points at home, and the Pistons shot a miserable 6-of-30 three-pointers for the game.

After beating the Pistons at home, on January 30, the Celtics hosted the New York Knicks, the second-to-last in the East, this game was also like the last game against the Pistons, almost the game was decided after only three quarters, and the final score was 125-88 that made New York fans a little collapsed, which is still a conceivable defeat, and after defeating New York, on January 31, Boston challenged the Pacers away, which is also Boston's last game of the month, After beating the Pacers 98-87 on the road, the Celtics became the only team to win all of their games in a month this season, and also through the 16-game winning record in January 2004, the Celtics became 45-6, and after this game against the Pacers, the league also announced the starters and head coaches of this year's All-Stars.

Zhuang Fei also became the head coach of the Eastern All-Stars again, and the head coach of the Western All-Stars was the 43-8 Lakers head coach Phil Jackson. (To be continued.) )
