Chapter 422 Arrogance
Rivers only repeatedly emphasized that the team was only experiencing temporary difficulties, so the media, who could not get fresh material from him, quickly focused their problems on Shi Lei.

"Shi, many people put you and LeBron James together and think that you will be the biggest opponent in the NBA in the next ten years. Do you have anything to say about this?"

This was a trap question, Shi Lei knew that if he expressed his honor, or took it for granted, the reporters would immediately ask questions surrounding their ups and downs in the recent past, in order to hit him.But if he humbly denies it, the media won't let him go. "Shi thinks he can't compare to James" is something they are good at.

But it was such a dilemma that Shi Lei didn't keep a low profile even a little bit. He still "arrogantly" said confidently to the spear and cannon held high in front of him: "In fact, James has never been my opponent, just like the knight will not It’s the same as the Celtics’ opponent. Our opponent is not anyone or any team, but ourselves. You can’t deny that we have the strength to beat any team. The reason why we fail is not Their strength surpasses ours, but what we do is not perfect. The only thing we have to do is to overcome those defects that hinder us!"

Although what Shi Lei said was a fact that should be recognized, the media still seized on the loopholes in Shi Lei's language and quickly organized their counterattack: "You mean to say that your ultimate goal is to become a team that is not A team that's going to fail? So when do you think you'll be able to do that?"

The sharpness of this question made Shi Lei silent for a moment, just when people thought he didn't dare to answer directly, Shi Lei suddenly spoke up, he still didn't admit defeat, but sarcastically said: "Our strength doesn't need me to describe, Why do you think it's like the end of the world when we only lost nine games and are still the team with the best record in the league? Isn't it because you also admit that we are strong? So strong Can't fail! Obviously we're on the same page, so what's there to talk about?"

Shi Lei's sharp words made the media dumbfounded, but it didn't bother them. They quickly changed the subject, but they didn't give up their plan to make Shi Lei look bad: "Your team has four All-Stars, all players in the NBA. The team with the most star players in the team, so your strength seems to be a matter of course. But when you faced your main opponent last season, the Lakers, you lost all the games, so if you are in this year's finals Meet, do you think you can defeat them?"

Shi Lei is still very calm: "I should probably say that time will tell, to end all differences between us and shut everyone up, but I don't intend to do this. I will say: 'Yes, they still won't be Our opponents, if they are lucky enough to enter the finals!"
It is conceivable that Shi Lei's arrogant words will make many people rejoin Dota's attack, and how many fans who support the Celtics will be encouraged. However, this did not affect the Celtics' next game, no It made them more difficult, and it didn't make them much smoother.

They ended February with a five-game winning streak and won three road games, including the Cavaliers, in a back-to-back start to March.

But the Celtics, who welcomed Garnett back with a wave of eight consecutive victories, lost to the Orlando Magic again with a neat lineup!

The Celtics scored the lowest in the first quarter and the first half of the season. At the end of the first half, the Magic led the Celtics by 22 points.

But for the Magic, this game is still extremely difficult!
In the third quarter of the game, the Celtics still had no problem with customer service. Seeing Howard beat Perkins to six fouls, the Celtics, who were already at a disadvantage inside, completely lost control of Howard. , it is generally believed that the Celtics may usher in the biggest loss of the season.

But
Shi Lei dribbled the ball near the horns to lure Turkoglu to follow his own pace, then suddenly raised the ball and stuffed it into Garnett's hands.

It was a surprise pass, but the athletic Howard still managed to interfere with Garnett's shot.But just as he was about to take off the rebound like no one else, Shi Lei, who was like a gust of wind, suddenly skipped past him in mid-air.

Shi Lei, who was on the charge, made a savage body contact with Howard in the air, and then used a dunk to dunk the basketball into the hoop.

Shi Lei roared loudly in the Celtics' home court, which ignited the atmosphere of the TD North Shore Garden Stadium, and also ignited his teammates' pursuit of victory.

After losing Perkins, Shi Lei mentioned the team's offensive and defensive transition speed.

The Magic's starting point guard in this game is Alston. He is the king of streetball and a very good point guard, but he doesn't have much experience in controlling the rhythm.

The Magic also passively followed suit, and their defense became full of loopholes.Howard's physical fitness is against the sky, and he has a super ability to protect the basket, but he is still an earthling, without the legendary three-headed six-armed!
Facing Shi Lei's inside pass after breaking through, he was helpless, allowing Garnett to make a mid-range shot.Immediately afterwards, due to the faster offensive rhythm, there was a problem with the magic's tactical connection. Alstom and Turkoglu made a mistake in the cooperation, allowing Shi Lei to seize the opportunity, and after a successful steal, he quickly passed Ray Allen and assisted the latter. Hit a three-pointer.

This opened the prelude to Ray Allen's solo savior. It was like the engine was finally ignited. With 4 minutes and 08 seconds left in the game, the Celtics were 70:82 behind. He then made three consecutive shots. Hit, one person hit a wave of 9:0, narrowing the gap to 3 points in one fell swoop.Ray Allen had a driving layup, a three-pointer, a close-range shot and two free throws during this period.

However, the gap in front was too large, and finally the Celtics could not complete this epic reversal. Ray Allen's last lore three-pointer missed, causing the Magic to take a cold sweat and a game. Victory left Boston!

"The Lakers lost all and the Magic lost in a row. It seems that they are still very far from the perfection that No. 1 said!"
