After wading through the stormy river of the "Texas Three", the Celtics' difficult "back-to-back" schedule did not end here. They only got a day's rest and they needed to challenge an upstart team away —New Orleans Hornets.

Ever since Chris Paul was selected in the rookie conference, the Hornets began to rise at a miraculous speed. This team has been struggling in front of the playoffs for the past few years. Secured the first place in the Southwest Division.

This also allowed Paul, the soul of this team, to gain the reputation of "the number one point guard of the younger generation" evaluated by the harsh media.

If small forwards and shooting guards are the protagonists of a play, then the point guard is the director of the play.No matter how good an actor's acting skills are, if there is no director's control, then the scene will usually not have a good result.

In the first three quarters, the Celtics and the Hornets were inseparable, which highlighted the role of the "director".

A qualified point guard is not as simple as handing the ball to an open player. He uses basketball to guide his teammates' running positions, making the team's offense smooth, creating opportunities for his teammates, and at the same time controlling the rhythm of the court. , is the point guard's top priority.As for scoring, it is the last choice the point guard will make, which means that his control of the team has failed.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Iverson. But no matter how strong Iverson is, no matter how strong his scoring ability is, he only replaced the 76ers into the finals after he was a full-time shooting guard.

The Celtics' staffing is unmatched by the Hornets, but it is this group of NBA "vagrants", but under the control of Paul, the Celtics' strong defense is full of loopholes.

On the other hand, the Celtics' offense was completely out of order.Rondo completely lost control of the team, allowing the "Big Three" to fall into infinite singles.

Rivers replaced Russell and tried to control the rhythm of the court, but Russell's physical confrontation ability was too poor, and Paul, whose main shortcoming was poor physical confrontation, made it difficult for him to deal with it.

This was an eye-opening match for Shi Lei.In the middle of the second quarter of the game, he was replaced to help Russell control the rhythm, but this did not improve the team's situation. Shi Lei, who had just realized the threshold of "rhythm", got lost in New Orleans shortly after playing.

Confusion, panic, and bewilderment have become the true portrayal of the Celtics in the fourth quarter. Pierce's violent return in this game has become more and more like a "struggle"!
After the start of the fourth quarter, West succeeded consecutively, while the Celtics kept making mistakes and were frequently intercepted by the Hornets. In the first 8 minutes of this quarter, the Celtics only made one goal, and the Hornets scored 18:4. At the beginning of this section, with 3 minutes and 53 seconds left in the game, they overtook 99:93 and reversed the situation.

In this game, the Hornets team had 12 steals.

In this game, there is no doubt that the Celtics lost. Paul Pierce scored 38 points, Kevin Garnett had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Ray Allen had 17 points. The "Big Three" fully utilized their abilities, but they just couldn't beat the Hornets.

There may be some elements of home court advantage in this game, the reason why the Hornets' players broke out, but this can't offset the huge psychological shock that Shi Lei produced.

Shi Lei was amazed by Paul's command in this match, his unrestrained ability to advance and retreat without hindrance.Back in Boston, he started collecting all the Paul game tapes he could find!
The meaning of the word "rhythm" became more profound in Shi Lei's heart. He intuitively felt that if he could understand this, he might have a great improvement.

Is there anything more tempting for a player who wants to make a difference than improving his own abilities?

But Shi Lei, who was buried in the computer, accidentally saw a report, it was extremely bad news!

White's fate, as he experienced before, began to fall rapidly between the peak and the trough.

After finishing the game against the Celtics, they also started a winning streak, defeating the Bulls, Kings, Mavericks, and Magic one after another.

White, who has a deep understanding of tactics, is fairly diligent in training, and is also focused on defense, is actually a qualified substitute. If he hadn't offended Bobovic, he would have even been able to occupy a place in the team.

In these few games, White got a lot of playing time and performed well.Especially in the game against the Magic, after Howard was dismissed by Duncan, White fully showed his strong physical fitness, scored 21 points in the fourth quarter, and scored a career-high [-] points in the entire game. point.

This led to White being interviewed with enthusiasm by the media after the game.

For a sideshow who occasionally breaks out, most of the time, the first thing to realize is that the media is not full of malice. Those people will deliberately ask some sharp questions to make the report more topical.

Like many blacks in the NBA, White is not a smart enough person, and even has a lack of IQ. He is not a thoughtful person, and he is not a low-key person. The scene that would appear suddenly appeared. The forgetful White was unfortunately recruited, and was seduced by the media's "ecstasy array" and said some things he shouldn't have said.

"Yes, like my good brother Shi, I think I am underestimated by people. I have that ability, but I have never been given a chance. They are not willing to give me a chance. I think I should change the environment and change my willingness. The team that gives me a chance to play, preferably starts!"

"Damn!"

Shi Lei punched the table angrily, but he didn't know who to be angry with.White?He has always been like this, the media?That's the kind of fucking virtue they have!

No team is willing to have a player like White in the team. The Spurs still pay the most attention to team discipline. What will be waiting for White next, Shi Lei dare not imagine.

Anxious, Shi Lei took out his phone: "James, are you okay?"

What worried Shi Lei the most happened, White was suspended, and it was endless.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei sat slumped on the chair, Paul's game was still going on in the computer, it was still so fascinating, but Shi Lei didn't have any mood to study, all he could think about was White's time.

Suddenly, Shi Lei grabbed his coat and walked outside.
