Chapter 140 Reinforcement
After winning the Pistons, the Celtics had too much resistance in the first half of March. They then played against the Bulls who were in the throes of reconstruction. They just traded the core of the team. Sen rebuilds the 76ers who have never been successful, and prepares to move to the Sonics.

But the bad news is that against the Sonics, Ray Allen was too hard and needed a truce for one to two weeks.

The Jazz's home court is the famous "Devil's Home Stadium", and its iconic defensive tricks have been passed down even longer than the "bad boy" Pistons.

Ray Allen's unexpected injury sounded the alarm for Rivers. When he was a guest in Salt Lake City, he simply chose a large-scale rotation and gave up the game strategically. All the "Big Three" truce, and only Rondo and Perkins, together with Shi Lei, Posey, and Tony Allen.

As expected, the Celtics' winning streak was ended.

But even if he lost the game, Shi Lei's performance in this game did not lose points.Against star power forward Boozer, the thin Shi Lei gave full play to his flexibility and scored 19 points and 13 rebounds, almost equal to Boozer.

This made Shi Lei's voice to be the "fourth giant" once again.

Shi Lei's performance has become better and better in a stable manner, which has gradually increased his influence among domestic fans. As the current situation of resisting another domestic player Yi Jianlian with Shi Lei not long after the start of this season, it appears that It's completely opposite to Shi Lei's situation.

As time passed, Yi Jianlian finally failed to keep his starting position and was replaced by Charlie Villanueva.But even on the bench, Yi Jianlian did not show the ability that a high-ranking rookie should show. He played very averagely and gradually began to be marginalized.

This is what Lian Yinyu said. When he needed to prove himself the most, Yi Jianlian suffered from injuries again.
Yi Jianlian's experience seems to be the epitome of the Bucks this season, and they are hitting the playoffs. Although their record ranks third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, they are only five games away from the eighth Nets. But in this most important month, they unexpectedly lost Bogut, the pillar of the basket, shortly after the start.

The team shrouded in shadows, in this unfavorable state, ushered in the challenge of the Celtics.

The Bucks don't intend to give up struggling, they still have their strongest lineup to fight.The same is true for the Celtics. They have just experienced a defeat, and they don't want to experience a losing streak, so they also lined up the main lineup.

In fact, at this time, the Celtics have secured the number one position in the Atlantic Division. The record behind them is the Raptors, but even if the Raptors win the rest of the game, it is impossible to catch up with the record of 34 wins and 31 losses. The Celtics have a record of 57 wins and 8 losses.

Shi Lei returned to the outside line in this game and got Ray Allen to start.After the two sides battled to 12:12, the Bucks, who were greatly weakened inside, were attacked by Shi Lei crazily, and scored 7 points in a row, helping the team overtake the score.

The game then came under the control of the Celtics, and the point difference was quickly widened to 15 points. At halftime, the point difference was widened to 21 points again.

During the half-time break, fans who were extremely dissatisfied with the team's performance began to leave the field. Although the staff began to throw gifts at the fans, many fans left early.

Less than half of the third quarter was played, and the Celtics once widened the point difference to 27 points. The Bucks chose to give up the game.

After retiring from the Bucks, the Celtics returned to Boston. Although their next game is still on the road, they must go back to welcome the arrival of two new players.

Just yesterday, the Celtics announced on their official website that they had signed the retired power forward PJ Brown and Sam Cassell, Garnett's right-hand man.

PJ Brown, born in 1969, grew up in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He is a former American professional basketball player and serves as a power forward and center.

PJ Brown: In the 1992 NBA draft, PJ Brown was selected by the Nets, then traveled to Greece, returned to the Nets a year later, and officially started his NBA career.

As a swingman in the C/PF position, PJ Brown has good low-post offensive ability, medium back-to-the-basket attack ability, accurate mid-range shooting skills, and good high-post support ability.

But compared to Brown's defense, his offense is a notch lower.

PJ Brown is a typical defender. During his peak period, he often staged double-double performances and was selected to the NBA Second Defensive Team three times (96-97, 98-99, 00-01).

PJ Brown has been working hard in his career, especially on the defensive end. His strong and violent inside defense, good rebound protection ability, and rich experience in the playoffs once allowed him to have a short period of time in the Hornets. Glorious period.

Sam Cassell: Sam Cassell, born on November 1969, 11 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, is a point guard.

In the 1993 NBA Draft, Sam Cassell was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 24th overall pick in the first round.During his career with the Rockets, he helped the Rockets win two NBA championships.

But the "alien" with low physical fitness, the real glory period was after he was traded to the Timberwolves. In the 2003-04 season, he scored about 20 points and 7 assists per game, helping the team reach the Western Conference Finals for the first time. He was selected to the NBA All-Star Game and the All-NBA Second Team this season.

More importantly, Sam Cassell is a master of rhythm control, which is one of the most lacking qualities of the Celtics now, not to mention his tacit understanding with Garnett.

After the reinforcement at the end of this season, the Celtics' championship temperament has suddenly become much stronger.A neat lineup, a superstar with good ability, a "sixth man" with a bright future, and an experienced veteran with good defensive ability
However, the championship temperament belongs to the championship temperament. In the history of the NBA, there is no shortage of super teams with "dominant side leakage" in the lineup but nothing in the season, such as the Los Angeles Lakers in the "F4" period.
So before all the dust settles, it is too early to say anything. To win the final victory, the Celtics still need to defeat many powerful enemies.This is not far away, it is already in sight, and their opponent in the next game is the most powerful contender for the championship every year-San Antonio Spurs!
