(Crying for a monthly pass.) The fisherman is about to be exploded)

"Coach, that kid seems to be holding his breath."

On December 9, 2001, the Boston Celtics ended their home game after beating the Suns at home a day earlier before flying to Chicago to take on the Chicago Bulls.

In fact, for the current Boston Celtics, the Bulls are nothing at all, but in fact, the trend of the game is not like this, the two teams have not played each other this season, in fact, the two teams played a game at the beginning of the season, in that game Zhuang Fei led the team lost under the iron hooves of the Bulls, and it was also that fiasco that made Zhuang Fei and his team criticized by all experts and media in the United States, that is, after that game, the Boston Celtics will be completely despised by others.

Therefore, for this Bulls team Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics are with great resentment, this game in the team locker room before the start of Zhuang Fei can clearly feel the evil on the faces of these Celtics players, these people want to regain the lost face here, Zhuang Fei has no opinion on this, in fact, this mood of the players is a good thing for the coach.

The strength of the Bulls is very weak, this is recognized, this team is currently ranked first in the East, and the Boston Celtics are very strong, at least in terms of rankings, the current Boston Celtics are ranked first in the East, that is, such a matchup with no suspense of the contrast between strength and weakness ended up with great drama.

"Yes, his performance today is very good" Zhuang Fei also looked at the Bulls on the court with a heavy face, today's game Bulls gave the Boston Celtics a dismount at the beginning, originally thought that the Boston Celtics had been suppressing the Bulls from the beginning to the end to the end of the Boston Celtics fell into the quagmire in the first quarter, at the end of the first quarter of the game between the two teams, the score on both sides was 27-18, and it was not the Boston Celtics but the Bulls who scored 27 points. The team, led by the team's ace rookie inside Eddie Corry, scored 27 points in a single quarter against the Boston Celtics. This year's rookie scored 16 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the first quarter.

Eddie Corey is not a contender for Rookie of the Year, as the interior is a bit less consistent and hard-working compared to Yao Ming and Gasol or even Kwame Brown, a player with a lot of shortcomings. Although this player has a lot of shortcomings, it is also a very talented player. Especially on the offensive end, at least there are not many ways to face the somewhat explosive Eddie Curry and the Boston Celtics inside O'Neal Jr. in this game.

Of course, if only Eddie Curry played alone, the Bulls could score a lot of points, but it was absolutely impossible for the Boston Celtics to score only 18 points, because Tyson Chandler, the other of the two interior rookies of the East bottom fish belly team this year, was also in excellent shape, and even made Zhuang Fei and Stephen Green on the sidelines think that this rookie was Mutombo of the 76ers, and that kind of defensive range and defensive hardness made Yao Ming and O'Neal Jr. of the Boston Celtics a little uncomfortable, Tyson Chandler also made up for Eddie Corey's defensive deficiencies very well, at least the Bulls rookie forced Yao Ming and Xiao Ao to stay away from the basket and attack. In fact, for Yao Ming and Xiao Ao, staying away from the basket is also one of their regular offensive methods. It's just that the mid-to-long-range feel of these two people in this game is very average, compared to when they played the Grizzlies before a game, I don't know how far it is.

"These two people seem to want to give Yao Ming a dismount," Zhuang Fei sighed when he saw Chandler push Yao Ming under the basket again, forcing Yao Ming to shoot from a long distance.

Before today's game, the league announced a new rookie list, and Yao Ming of the Boston Celtics reached the top without a trace of suspense. The god-level play of that game against the Grizzlies has made the Chinese the focus of American media attention in recent times. Of course. Naturally, there are many people who are not happy about Yao Ming's rise, such as the two inside lines of the Bulls now. In particular, this year's No. 3 pick, Tyson Chandler, who was drafted by the Boston Celtics and then sent away by the Boston Celtics. Therefore, in today's game, Yao Ming can be said to be facing the strongest defensive intensity since the start of this season. …,

"It seems that Yao Ming still needs to adapt to such defensive intensity, maybe in the future, not only Tyson Chandler will do this to him" Stephen Green also said with some sighs, now it is impossible for this Chinese interior line to hide behind his teammates, he has gone to the front desk and needs to shelter his teammates, from the current point of view, this Chinese interior line is not doing well, in fact, Yao Ming has shown such a problem in the last game against the Suns, and his performance is a little struggling under the Sun's defense, Otherwise, it wouldn't have allowed the Boston Celtics to go to overtime in their last game.

"Well, this is indeed a process of adaptation" Zhuang Fei also nodded, Yao Ming has this ability, this Chinese interior line is a little weak in defense, and on the offensive end, he has the ability to blow up most of the league's interior lines, so this is only a short analgesic period, and this painful period will pass sooner or later, Zhuang Fei has this confidence.

The Chicago Bulls played tenaciously in this game, especially in the first half, the team gave the Boston Celtics a 25-21 in the second quarter after giving the Boston Celtics a 27-18 in the first quarter, the Boston Celtics trailed by 13 points in the first half, and the Chicago Bulls' interior Eddie Corey scored 26 points in the first half.

However, just like Eddie Corey's performance, for the Chicago Bulls, Eddie Corey can score 26 points in the first half, but such a god-level performance is difficult to sustain, if Eddy Corey can score 26 points in the second half under Zhuang Fei's targeting, then there will be no suspense in this game, and this Eddy Corey's nickname is not 'little shark', but a real big shark.

So in the first half of the explosion of Eddie Corey in the second half of the face of Xiao Ao and Yao Ming after the second half of the face of a little difficult, and the current Bull when Eddie Corey was suppressed by the Boston Celtics, others such as Kevin Ollie, Ron Mersel and Greg Anthony and others were completely overwhelmed, so at the end of the third quarter of this game, the Boston Celtics beat the Chicago Bulls in the third quarter 31-18. The Boston Celtics pulled all the points back in the third quarter.

Eddy Cory's form has been a bit up and down in the first half. But for Chicago's other interior lineman, Chandler, he remained high-pitched throughout the game, and in the third quarter, the Boston Celtics said that the Bulls players were a little dazed and played a 31-18, but after the fourth quarter, the Boston Celtics, who thought they had found their offensive form, fell into the quagmire again in the fourth quarter. The Boston Celtics only scored 17 points in the fourth quarter, and if it weren't for the Chicago Bulls' scoring of only 14 points, it is estimated that the Boston Celtics would still be on their knees here in this game.

In the final game, the Boston Celtics defeated the Bulls 87-84 on the road. The last three games of the Boston Celtics are very difficult to win in the face of the Grizzlies, or the final Suns and Bulls, which also shows that although the Boston Celtics now occupy the first position in the East, although this team can beat most teams, but it lacks the absolute strength of the suppression, the current Boston Celtics do not have an absolute strength advantage, compared to the previous Timberwolves are still a lot worse, which also makes Zhuang Fei a little sober.

The Boston Celtics' top scorer in this game was Maddy, the swingman who scored a big triple-double in the previous game. 19 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds, while Yao Ming, another core of the team, only scored 8 points and 10 rebounds, which is also Yao Ming's consecutive scoring of less than 10 points since the last game. After the battle with the Grizzlies, the two cores of the Boston Celtics presented completely different follow-ups. Maddie is now low and high, while Yao Ming is high and low. …,

"Yao. You don't have to worry too much, it's just a regular season game, and besides, our team won the game."

At the end of the game, Yao Ming looked at the Chicago Bulls with some loss, that Chandler and he are old friends, the two met in Portland 2 years ago, and Chandler, who represented the United States in that International Invitational Tournament, was beaten by Yao Ming, who represented the international team, but he didn't expect that two years later, this player who was once beaten by him is now making it so difficult for him.

In fact, after the game with the Grizzlies, he has always felt like he has entered a 'black hole', he is a little tired both mentally and physically, and he is also a little disappointed in his current situation.

The Boston Celtics are on the road right now, and a lot of things are impossible to give them too much time to adjust, so sometimes it is difficult for the team to solve the problem even if they know that the team may have problems.

Now the Boston Celtics are more beneficial is that the team has been on the road to victory although it has been a little difficult, which is better than another Eastern team, the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies returned to their home court after losing to the Boston Celtics on the road, but lost a strong conversation again, the Heat, who ranked third in the East, defeated the Grizzlies on the road, and the Grizzlies were again accused of a conflict between players in the locker room after the game, And this time the conflict players are no longer Artest and Rasheed Wallace, and even the team's boss Vince Carter is involved.

This also makes the recent period of time, the news of the American media has been slaughtered by the Grizzlies again, it is obvious that this team has become a powder keg that will detonate at any time after inviting Jerry West and getting a lot of hard-looking 'thorns', if it weren't for Jerry West's prestige being too heavy to suppress, this team may have been messed up a long time ago, of course, even if it can be suppressed, it is estimated that this team has come to the time when it must change.

Of course, these are all Grizzlies' things, and while their slump is a good thing for the Boston Celtics, the Boston Celtics can't have too many other thoughts because of their loss, and it would be fun if they lost as much as they did.

On December 11, 2001, the Boston Celtics welcomed the second opponent of their road trip, and it was also Zhuang Fei's old enemy New York Knicks. The New York Knicks are currently 9-13 after 22 games, currently in ninth place in the East, and are getting a little farther away from the top eight in the playoffs, while the Washington Wizards, who are 10th in the East behind him, are close, the Wizards themselves; The team is on the fast track since bringing in Nash, winning four of its last five games, and if this trend continues, New York will be overtaken by the Wizards sooner or later.

In fact, the performance of the New York Knicks at the beginning of this season was very good, this team once ranked in the top three in the East with a winning record at the beginning, but since they defeated the Boston Celtics led by Zhuang Fei with a score of 48 points at home, the team has lost its soul and began to continue ups and downs.

So that in the end, the team finally fell to the way it is now, and what made them even more uncomfortable was that the Boston Celtics, who had stumbled at the beginning of the season, stepped on their corpse after beating them and embarked on the road to continuous victory, which was a general blow to this team, and even before the start of this game, the general manager of the New York Knicks, Dolan Jr., issued a must-kill order again, if the New York Knicks could not win this game, the team would be disbanded and rebuilt, which was undoubtedly a satire on his own summer strategy.

However, what makes this loser a little difficult to accept is that even if the order is given, the team lost to the Boston Celtics again on their home court, and the New York Knicks lost to the Boston Celtics at home with a score of 89-111 at home.

In Zhuang Fei's view, this is a team that lacks soul, and it is obvious that Alan Houston, the king of mid-pitching, is not the gorilla Patrick Ewing, and the two are many orders of magnitude apart.

Maddy, who scored a triple-double in the previous two games in this game, failed to score another triple-double in this game, but it was also a quasi-triple-double with 29 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.
