Chapter 392 Ghost
After making substitution adjustments, the Celtics' starting center, Perkins, was left off the court, and his position was replaced by Garnett, while Shi Lei served as the team's power forward.

"The Celtics made substitution adjustments, and Shi Lei was left on the court. This lineup is very targeted. This completely restrains the Raptors, which are very flexible!"

Far away in China, Director Zhang has seen the Celtics' intention to adjust, and of course the head coach of the Raptors cannot fail to see it, so he quickly replaced O'Neal on the court.

But this didn't play a big role. Although Jermaine O'Neal is the most majestic on the court, in fact he is not a traditional insider. The low-post offensive ability that the Raptors need most now is no better than being replaced by him. Under the Bargnani how much better.

Especially now that he is entering the end of his career, his scarred knees, and the athletic ability he is most proud of have also declined greatly.

In this way, the Raptors' offense was cut by the Celtics' defense with this lineup, and they fell into a state of fighting each other.Obviously, such a Raptors can't gain any dislocation advantage over the Celtics. Moon, who they are best at breaking through, is still a rookie who doesn't get much trust.

In this case, the Raptors fell into a 4-minute scoring drought, allowing the Celtics to use a wave of 13:0 after replacing the main force to overtake the point difference by four points and enter the fourth quarter of the game between the two sides.

Since the Celtics were successfully formed, they have not been reversed by any team, and the Raptors, who caused huge troubles for the Celtics in the first half of this game, have not done this, although they are replacing After defeating Bargnani, the young "champion pick" had a very strong desire to win and scored six points in a single quarter, but this was not enough to change their final outcome.

At 118:103, the Celtics extended their win to five games again.

The winner won't get too many accusations. Although the Celtics played poorly in the first half, after the game, people still focused on Shi Lei who helped the team reverse, and gave up Bashing on them!

"The 'Rock' of Silence, the Sanctuary of Victory!"

"After eight assists, three rebounds, two blocks and two steals in a single quarter, 27 points, [-] rebounds and seven assists in [-] minutes, number one is already the most important force for this team's victory!"

"The most suspenseful award this season - the best sixth man of the season!"

"The ghost of the stadium everywhere, the Celtics' strongest defender after Bill Russell!"

"What else can you ask him to do?"

The praise from the media and the team's victory made Shi Lei think that he had found the most suitable way to help the team. He believed that he had found the way to "enhance the strength" of the team. This point was given in the next game. His greater self-confidence!
After returning to Boston from Toronto with only one day off, the Celtics were immediately challenged by the Golden State Warriors.

This is a very crazy team, yes, quite crazy, they may play harder than the blacksmith in one game, but it is possible that in the next game, even if God comes down, they can't stop it They win!
In this game, it was rare for the Celtics to enter the state quickly at the beginning. They led their opponents 35:28 in a single quarter, but in the second quarter of the game, the Warriors' "lunatics" went crazy. In the first quarter of the game, they scored a super high score of 39 points, leading the score in one fell swoop, and returned to the locker room with a 13-point lead at the end of the half.

When the team needed to use defense to suppress the opponent's fiery touch, Rivers thought of Shi Lei again. At the beginning of the third quarter, he replaced Perkins with Shi Lei and became the team's power forward.

If the time is set back five years, such an adjustment may only lead to greater chaos for the team, but in the current NBA, there are fewer and fewer highly confrontational insiders, and more and more emphasis is placed on flexibility. Habitually floating on the inside line, Shi Lei is at home in this position. He has a very large defensive range, and Garnett, who is no match for him, puts his backcourt completely within their coverage. Reassuring the team's perimeter to focus their defensive energy outside the three-point line.

This kind of defensive strength caused the Warriors' already very unstable shooting to fluctuate.This inevitably affected the mentality of the Warriors players who played very passionately. At 8 minutes into the game, the Warriors led the Celtics by 12 points. After Jamal Crawford forced a three-pointer and was blocked by Shi Lei, Rondo, who grabbed the basketball, passed the ball to Ray Allen. After launching a 10:2 counterattack climax, the Celtics quickly chased the point difference to four points.

Facing the solid defense of the Celtics, the Warriors played more and more impatiently. In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, they did not score a point, allowing the Celtics to overtake the score 86:83.

In this quarter, Shi Lei only scored four points, but he grabbed five rebounds, sent four assists, and also gave his opponent two blocks!
"Oh, our No. [-] Ghost is at the stadium again!"

Shi Lei's all-round performance aroused loud cheers from the fans at the scene. Lori Field, the commentator of Boston's local TV station, who was in charge of explaining the game, also sighed like this in the gap between the third quarter and the fourth game !
Stimulate the enthusiasm of any teammate on the field, tap everyone's ability during offense, and put as much pressure on the opponent as possible during defense. This is the method Shi Lei found to "enhance the competitiveness of the team".For this reason, Shi Lei became even busier on the field, more versatile, and selfless!
This is indeed effective. Driven by Shi Lei's performance of duties, the Celtics temporarily replaced the substitutes, intending to let the main stars rest for a few minutes, and then reap the victory of the game. Players, still haven't made their offense better.

In the end, the Warriors still lost the game 110:119 when the Celtics did not replace the main force in the fourth quarter.

In this game, Shi Lei once again scored 13 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks!
The problem really seemed to be resolved, and in the remaining two games in November, the Celtics extended their winning streak to eight games after defeating the 76ers and Bobcats in turn.Throughout November, they won 2 wins and [-] loss. In addition to the [-] victories they won after the start of the regular season at the end of October, they firmly occupied the number one record with a record of [-] wins and [-] loss.They have won four games with the No.[-] Lakers!
