Chapter 464 Advancement
The roaring sound in his ears made Howard feel embarrassed. He had to accept the fact that he was resisted by a player who was much shorter and thinner than him.Although he has foreseen that he may not be able to defend against the opponent!
The hot face made Howard know that he had to do something at this time.

"ball!"

Howard galloped and yelled loudly, allowing him to catch the basketball as soon as he entered the basket.

This made the home fans "live", and the players they supported made a fool of themselves, but he didn't give up the counterattack, accepted the defeat, didn't he?
However, when a person is eager to accomplish something, the most important thing to pay attention to is to make yourself not reckless!

Maybe it was too urgent to score a good offense, or maybe Perkins' defense was not taken seriously by Howard.After Howard received the ball, he quickly turned around and jumped up to face the basket.

This is obviously treating Perkins as a dead man again!

Perkins is definitely not a dead man!Just like Howard is now the number one center because of the decline of the inside line, Perkins is already one of the few strong defensive insiders in the NBA.

Howard's sloppy and blatant offense allowed Perkins to seize the opportunity. All the hatred accumulated by the opponent in this series of games was concentrated in this tiger's roar, and he tried his best to escape Among the palms.

"boom!"

Howard failed to hold on to Perkins for a second, and the basketball was slapped off the court from his palm, and what was even more shameful was that for the second time in this game, he was thrown to the floor by the fierce force of his opponent. superior!

Howard's athletic ability is unmatched by Perkins, but that does not include strength!

The roar of the floor stopped the shouts of the home fans!

Howard's immature heart made Howard, who was sitting on the floor at this moment, unavoidably have a feeling of: "Why is everyone bullying me?" Fucking mentality!
This is very "big spring", and it is also very stupid, and the embarrassment turns into anger.Especially after Perkins, who had finally exploded out of resentment against the opponent who kept humiliating him, let out a venting roar at the opponent who had finally lost to him once.Howard couldn't restrain his boiling heart anymore, he got up from the floor with a swipe, and pressed against Perkins' chest tit for tat.

It is not uncommon in the NBA to hit someone if you can't beat the opponent.Anger always burns people's sanity!

Fortunately, Howard has always been a "good baby", and Perkins is just an insignificant utility now, without the capital to be fearless, so this did not lead to a greater disaster!
However, this is enough to escalate the intensity of the competition!

Shi Lei quietly licked his lips, he felt a greater excitement, probably because of the hidden violence in his heart, he prefers this kind of scene, and he prefers this kind of undisguised exposure of his little actions Contest!

Basketball has never been refined, although David Stern has always wanted to do so!

"Oh, I love this game, that's how basketball should be played, this is the NBA!"

Barkley is a bad guy, always has been, but adorably, he never seems to hide it.

But Van Gundy didn't like it, and neither did Magic fans, because... "We're not good at it!"

Yes, the reason they don't like it is simply that they are not good at it, not the ridiculous so-called "above board" victory!

Howard quickly realized his mistake in provoking a dispute. During the attack, Shi Lei quietly put an elbow on Howard's chest, making the opponent freeze in place, but he took the opportunity to cut to the basket, raised his hand and put the basketball into the basket .

While Howard complained to the referee, Shi Lei returned to his own half as if he didn't notice.

This requires very good acting skills and very good "elbow skills".After complaining to no avail, Howard, who was full of "revenge society" mentality, went inside and gave Perkins, who he now hates, an elbow.
"Ow!"

Perkins fell to the floor in pain, making Howard's elbow appear in the referee's sight instantly.

Of course, this is from Shi Lei's instruction, he is very good at small tricks and deciphering small tricks!
The tens of thousands of dogs galloping past made Howard feel that this ball is too fast to hit!

Mayfair Jackson turned off the projector.

"It's a pity that our opponent will be the Celtics, and it's still an unfamiliar Celtics! All our previous preparations have failed, so gentlemen, we need to find a new strategy to defend them! "

Mayfair Jackson didn't have much helplessness on his face, but the assistants who had cooperated with him for many years knew that Mayfair Jackson already felt trouble.

"But Mayfair, we have Paul and Andrew, I don't think he alone can compete against everyone!"

"No, my partner, he is very dangerous, trust me!"

In the arena of the Orlando Magic, the fans have already felt the danger Shi Lei brought to them.

After Shi Lei completed the singles against Howard again, Van Gundy had no choice but to adjust the team's defensive tactics, but
"Nice inside pass, Kendrick's explosive dunk!"

"Shi Lei has a first-class coping ability. Although the Magic's defense did not have too many loopholes against the Celtics' perimeter, when Lewis and Howard double-teamed Shi Lei, Perkins was liberated from the basket."

This is very similar to the insider "two-person turn" of "Black and White Bears" many years later, but the difference is that Shi Lei did all this with his outstanding personal ability, and the cooperation of Gasol and Randolph is even more important. It is reflected in the perfect complementarity of the two.

In the following time, Perkins, who was neglected, unexpectedly became the strong point of the Celtics' offense.After Shi Lei attracted the opponent's double team, his strong body became the best weapon.

"Magic has run out of ways!"

"Yes, especially their offense is not yet a threat!"

"The Celtics' perimeter defense is too strong, and Howard is obviously out of shape. And even if he feels good, can he be better than Shi in terms of personal scoring ability? Obviously he can't do it!"

The commentary of Bill Walton and his partner Tolbert was enough to let many fans know that the game had reached the point where the suspense was lost, although the first quarter of the game hadn't ended yet.

"The two sides ended their confrontation in the first quarter, and the Celtics took the lead without any surprise. Shi Lei scored 9 points in this quarter, half of the points in the previous game, but he sent 5 points at the same time. assist, protected three rebounds, and gave Lewis a block!"

"Kendrick played more like the No. 11 center in this game. He scored [-] points in a single quarter, which was the highest score of both sides. Dwight guarding him alone, it's hard to believe, this is the best defensive player of the season!"

"Now the Celtics lead the Magic by 13 points in a single quarter. The Magic have not allowed their scoring to break through double digits so far. It is hard to imagine how they eliminated the Cavaliers!"

All the guest commentators at the scene were singing "funeral songs" for the Magic, but in the second quarter of the game between the two sides, the Magic didn't make their offense and defense any better!
The Magic had no choice but to free Lewis from the important task of defending Shi Lei, and entered the basket to interfere with Perkins's catch, and handed over the task of assisting Shi Lei to Peter Gru, who was stronger in defense and better in physical confrontation. But this suddenly liberated the Celtics' outside line.

Ray Allen used two sharp three-pointers to stop the Magic again.

"The Celtics have too many scorers. The Magic can't do anything. They can't let go of anyone, so none of them can guard, but the Celtics don't have such trouble. Everyone can score. At the same time, they are all excellent defensive players. Lewis has no way to defend against Shi Lei, Turkoglu is good, but Ray Allen still makes his shots not have much hit rate at all, and Alston dare not Entering the inside, Pittgrew couldn't even catch the basketball under the strict defense of Pierce. Sadly, Howard couldn't put more offensive pressure on the Celtics inside. I can't see their hope of winning. Their current Trouble, and it's not just a matter of being behind by 23 points!"

"I said, you either leave the East or join the Celtics, otherwise, you will not get a chance to enter the Finals!"

Facing Shi Lei's talk, Howard could no longer refute it, because it was more like a fact than some trash talk!

"Shi Lei! With his super personal ability, Shi Lei is about to lead the Celtics to the finals for two consecutive years, hitting the team's second championship trophy after the reorganization, and Shi Lei is about to hit his third championship. ring!"

At the end of halftime, Director Zhang, who has always been low-key, was able to say such things in the live broadcast room, which shows how the Celtics' advantage has reached the point of "angry and grievance"!

Some media can't wait to start editing some reports about the "Yellow-Green War"!

The home arena is already dead, and the distant Boston, with the participation of countless families watching the game, has plunged the city into a carnival.

Sitting alone in the office at TD North Shore Garden, Danny Angie also fell into deep thought, because next year will be Shi Lei's contract year, and the most sensible thing for them to do now is to show their respect for Shi Lei, which is At the end of this season, he will complete the renewal of the new contract with Shi Lei.But what made him embarrassed was: "Who exactly are we going to trade?"

Is this a problem? After the end of this season, the Celtics must immediately provide enough salary space for Shi Lei, and it must be on the premise of retaining the main framework. This is undoubtedly much more difficult.

As for the competitiveness of the team, Danny Ainge doesn't plan to think too much about it, it's useless.Because if the championship fails this season, there will be no need for this lineup, and the shareholders will not be willing to be more generous. If it succeeds by chance, it will not be a problem.Having two championships is still enough for the Celtics to attract super basic salaries from some young stars who are eager for the championship!

Yes, Danny Ainge doesn't think the Celtics have much hope of winning the championship at this time, because the Lakers are not magic.

Their inside "Twin Towers" are the biggest nemesis of the Celtics. The Celtics can let go of Howard, but can they let go of Gasol?Even if Shi Lei can limit Gasol's scoring, his coping ability will definitely not reduce his help to the team much, not to mention that the Lakers still have a player with the strongest scoring ability among active NBA players. Kobe!

There is also the Lakers' bench. Odom, who has changed to the sixth man this season, has performed quite amazingly!

But Danny Ainge is not sad for the team, it's a pity, but being able to enter the finals under such an unfavorable situation is already their victory!
Danny Ainge is undoubtedly a calm manager, except for the media in Boston, his opinion is the same as that of most media.

The "tie-break" battle between the Celtics and the Magic is finally over. With Shi Lei's amazing performance of 29 points, 16 rebounds and 14 assists, the Celtics took away this precious victory from Orlando.However, this didn't make the media excited for long, and they soon focused on the upcoming finals.

This is the real game that determines a team's success!

As the two teams that produced the most stars in the NBA, some old guys who have retired for many years but are unwilling to be lonely took the lead in provoking the war.

"The Lakers don't fall twice on the same opponent, and the Celtics are in a difficult situation this season. Stone's outstanding performance can't hide the flaws in their lineup. I believe Paul and Andrew will make it clear to them !"

"What has changed for the Lakers? Anyway, I haven't seen it. Instead, Shi's improvement is surprising. He is even better. You must know that he had a quadruple-double at their home court last season. What will the Lakers do this season?" to stop him?"

"It's very ridiculous. The Celtics are so arrogant that they can get a quadruple-double in Los Angeles. This is undoubtedly a ridiculous thing. I don't deny that their No. [-] played very well last season, but this is not The whole reason for his miracle, that mistake was more because of Lamar's abnormal play!"

"Abnormal performance? That's a ridiculous excuse. The Celtics never cared about a player like that. For us, the only thing we care about is Kobe Bryant's performance. But I think Paul is willing to show the other side his defensive ability in the game!"

In the midst of all this chatter, the finals of the 2008-2009 season have finally begun!
