Chapter 423 Magic Triple Kill
After the Celtics lost to the Magic, their number of defeats this season finally reached ten. Seeing Shi Lei slapping himself, the Shuguang media couldn't wait to stand up.

"To challenge the Bulls' record of 72 wins? But the Celtics have already harvested their tenth loss, and there are still 18 games until the end of the season, so are they ready to end the regular season with an 18-game winning streak?"

Like the shark who asked about the smell of blood, the pursuit of the Celtics did not cause much trouble to the Celtics, and the Celtics had no time to pay attention to those people, because their new troubles came.

The Celtics defeated the Heat and Grizzlies again, but in the game against the Bucks, Rondo, the team's main point guard, accidentally sprained his foot.

For an athlete, injury is an indispensable partner. Rondo is not the most unlucky one in the injury wave that broke out in the NBA since March. He only expects to miss five to seven games, but this is still The Celtics couldn't make up for the pain, and House, who didn't have much organizational ability, turned out to be the Celtics' only candidate for the position of point guard.

House can't replace Rondo at all, especially in defense, which made the Celtics' proud defense suffer great challenges in the next game.

On March 3, Beijing time, the Celtics challenged the Bulls away.

For the Bulls, every game is a battle of life and death.Before the game, they tied for eighth in the Eastern Conference with the Bucks, and every game may determine whether they enter the playoffs.This is also the most difficult opponent at this time of the season, because they will not choose to give up at any time.

The two old Kings players that the Bulls traded after the All-Star break, John Salmons and Brad Miller, did a lot of damage to the Celtics. 57 of the 42 total points helped the team close the gap with the Celtics.

In the critical third quarter of the game, in order to make up for the defensive loopholes caused by Rondo's absence, Perkins was fouled four times by the Bulls early, so he went off to rest, which became a turning point in the game.

The Bulls strengthened their control of rebounds in the following game. With the help of his teammates, Brad Miller grabbed three rebounds in a row, and the Bulls took the lead for the first time in this game.

They maintained their lead until a little over 3 minutes into the end of the game.

With 3 minutes and 12 seconds left in the game, Pierce made a layup and the Celtics scored 4 points in a row to lead 113:111.

But at the critical moment, Rose caused Perkins to make a mistake again, thus completely knocking the opponent off the court.Losing this inside barrier, the Celtics allowed the Bulls to play a wave of 6:0, thus taking away the game!

Some people don't know how good they will be in the game, but they are crucial, just like Perkins.But that wasn't the only weakness the Celtics exposed in this game.

After House became the team's main point guard, Rivers had no choice but to use Giddens, who had been on the bench.

Giddens and the aging House, you can hardly tell which of them has high ability and who has low ability. A But just like House cannot replace Rondo, Giddens cannot replace House's role as a substitute at all.

The Celtics have Shi Lei on the bench, so they don't have to worry about organizational issues. From this point of view, Giddens seems to be not much different from House.But in fact it's quite the opposite. It's not just a matter of tacit understanding in cooperation.

House is the only one of the Celtics' bench who has the ability to shoot outside. Although he usually can't score many effective points, for the Celtics' opponents, this is a person who cannot be ignored. .So what Shi Lei lacked was not just a point of exit, without the restraint of House, the defense Shi Lei faced was much tighter than before.The opponent can safely shrink all defenses within the three-point line, which also brings a lot of trouble to the Celtics' offense that focuses on breakthroughs.

So even though Shi Lei played 23 minutes and scored 24 points in this game, it still didn't help the team win!
The problem was exposed, but Rivers couldn't find a way to adjust, and there was no time to adjust, so they hurried to Miami.

Here, their problems have been magnified a little, and they almost capsized here and returned to Boston with a two-game losing streak.Yes, almost, and this is the Heat with Wade missing due to injury!

"Wade was absent due to injury, and the Heat forced the Celtics into overtime. What happened to the defending champion?"

In this unfavorable situation, the Celtics traded the former "Light of New York" Marbury with a veteran's basic salary through operation. (I forgot the political commissar Ma, add it here, don’t spray!)
At this time, Marbury and the Celtics are in a similar situation, they are both in a situation where everyone is screaming, but this does not mean that they are a "natural pair"!
Marbury did play a few good games with the Celtics, including his first game against the Spurs after coming to the Celtics.Eager to reverse his own image and want to find a team to take him in next season, he was very "selfless" in this game.Only got nine points, but sent 12 assists to help the Celtics beat the Spurs 80:77.

But his temperament is hard to change. After helping the Celtics win a wave of three consecutive victories, Marbury is a little uneasy, especially after Rondo's comeback.

Rondo's personal ability is not as good as Marbury's. This must be admitted, but Rondo has done two things very well. One is not greedy for the ball. He doesn't mind handing the ball over to Ray Allen or Shi Lei. , I don't mind sending the basketball to Garnett, and the second is defense. These two points make him a perfect fit in the Celtics lineup, which is beyond Marbury's reach.

But Marbury didn't think so, so after being on the bench, Shi Lei became a role player beside him!
This is not a wise choice. In the Celtics, Pierce cannot deprive Shi Lei of his existing rights, let alone Marbury who has just arrived.

However, after giving up the use of Marbury, the troubled Celtics still failed to end their ups and downs in March with a well-organized staff.

After coming to Orlando, the Celtics, who vowed to avenge several arrows, let the Magic complete their "triple kill" against them this season at their home court!
