Chapter 391 Heads-up and opponents

Seeing Bosh's expression, Shi Lei, who already knew the American basketball culture very well, quickly knew what Bosh wanted to do.He simply let go of the outside defense, ran behind Bosh on the inside, and asked mockingly after the opponent received the basketball: "Are you sure you want to single me?"

Just like small defensive moves, Shi Lei doesn't mind using trash talk to ignite the opponent's anger even more vigorously when the opponent is furious!
While talking, Shi Lei waved his hand to signal his teammates to look after his own people and not come up to help defend.

Shi Lei's defense had already been "deified" at this time.This makes him often encounter very polar situations when defending the opponent. Many young people, young people who have not yet made a name for themselves, always stubbornly want to challenge his defense.This is actually very understandable, it is normal for them to be successfully defended by Shi Lei, but what if they succeed?

Yes, they will get media attention, fame, and eventually money.

But when Shi Lei faced some successful players, it was another look. They seldom deliberately challenged Shi Lei, because for them, defeating Shi Lei would not help them much. Become the opponent's "Medal of Merit"!
Well, with the exception of Kobe and James, a paranoid, an old enemy.

Just like now, a rational Bosh originally hesitated when Shi Lei gave up the perimeter defense and rushed behind him, but Shi Lei turned the team's offense and defense into a bullfight between two people, forcing Bosh can not continue to waver.

As a public figure and the dominant soul of a team, what he wants is "decentness". He can win or lose, but he can't escape. Bosh can only fight!

As an insider, Bosh is a bit too slender, but when he also has precise shooting ability, this has become one of his advantages, and his slender figure makes him more flexible.In the NBA full of confrontation and muscle, Bosh can become the head star of a team and be selected as an All-Star, which is enough to show people how good he is in this regard.

Undoubtedly, this confuses most defenders when defending Bosh, but Shi Lei is one of the few exceptions!

Bosh's flexibility cannot form an advantage for Shi Lei.

When Bosh was in front of Shi Lei, he turned around and shot a jump shot, Shi Lei had already jumped into the air and waited for his arrival.

Bosh is [-] meters tall and Shi Lei is [-] meters tall. The difference of [-] centimeters can be huge or negligible. Shi Lei's earlier defensive prediction made the difference the latter.

Bosh could only raise his shot point, his flexible body, and leaned back a little extra.

This made Shi Lei not block Bosh's shot in the end, but it also made Bosh's shot completely lose sight.However, Bosh's goal was also achieved. After jumping, he saw that Shi Lei's defense was in place. He couldn't use the pass to escape the confrontation, so he didn't think about what he would gain from this attack. The purpose is to let myself retain that "decency"!
After Bosh's shot went wide of the basket, the opponent lost one player inside. After Bargnani, who is also very mobile, was blocked by Davis, Mickey Moore finally grabbed the defensive rebound.

The basketball was then handed over to Shi Lei.

However, the Celtics' fast-break counterattack was thwarted. Shi Lei, who was holding the ball, was surrounded by Bosh's super long arms.

Shi Lei hit the ground and passed the ball, handing the basketball to the fastest player in the team, Tony Allen.

At this time, the Celtics were still defended most closely by Shi Lei.When Shi Lei finally got rid of Bosh, Moon, the most powerful inside and outside defense of the Raptors, warmly greeted him.Not only him, Anthony Parker was also forming a double-team to Shi Lei.In the defensive counterattack, Shi Lei has already left a deep impression on people!

Shi Lei, who wanted to take over the ball again, changed his mind in an instant, and moved to one side of the court with the Raptors' defense, opening up a large space for Tony Allen to run freely.

Tony Allen didn't disappoint Shi Lei either, his best breakthrough helped the Celtics recover two points again!
After a wave of 6:0, the Raptors' lead was recovered to 12 points.At this time, the third quarter had only started for one and a half minutes, and there were still nearly two quarters to go. Such an advantage was no longer so safe.

Rivers began to hesitate again: "Do I need to replace the main force?"

A few seconds later, Bosh's involvement in the Celtics inside allowed Bargnani to hit a shot, helping Rivers firmly give up the idea.However, after receiving Shi Lei's screen pass, House made an outside three-pointer, which made Rivers hesitate again.

This was a torment for Rivers. Finally, in the third minute of the game, he made a compromise adjustment. He replaced House, who was not very helpful to the team, and replaced him with a young man. Rondo.

"The Celtics made substitution adjustments. Instead of replacing all the main players, they only replaced Rondo, and Shi Lei led the substitute to continue playing the rest of the game. From this we can see that the Celtics The head coach has great trust in Shi Lei."

Although Director Zhang interpreted Rivers' substitution intention in this way, in fact it had nothing to do with trust, although Rivers really trusted Shi Lei.

After Rondo came on the court, the Celtics' outside defense became more stringent. Shi Lei was no longer limited to the outside, but frequently went deep inside to help defend.

This made the Raptors, whose flexibility is the most prominent advantage, very tired inside. After Bargnani's shot was blocked by Shi Lei, he received a pass from Shi Lei who was in a tight siege. Rondo helped the team recover the point difference by nine point.

From leading by [-] points to leading by [-] points, this made the Raptors auditorium, which was not enthusiastic at all, even more dull.On the other hand, the Celtics' bench has become extremely lively.

"It looks like we're going to overtake our opponents soon!"

Garnett, who stood up from the bench and cheered for his teammates on the field, sighed at Pierce inexplicably.

Pierce shrugged helplessly: "We seem to have chosen the wrong opponent!"

"As a matter of fact, I have already said that we should give him some hints!"

Ray Allen spread his hands and said to the two partners.

The point difference was recovered to single digits, and the Raptors' offensive embarrassment allowed Rivers to see the hope of victory again, and replaced all the team's main players on the court!
