Chapter 60 Cheer For Me

On November 11, the Celtics kicked off the opening game of the new season at their home court, and their opponent was the Washington Wizards.

Regardless of age or status, Arenas has been at the peak of becoming an All-Star and full of ambitions in the past two years, and his self-confidence has also reached the peak.Even facing the Celtics, which no team can underestimate, he said: "The first game must be won"!
Arenas' basketball is just like his character, he dares to make a shot at any time.

This is a great three-point shooter. If he is more serious about the game, he may become a sharp shooter with a shooting percentage of over 40 like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, but his shot selection is too sloppy.

One step away, two steps away, and even longer distances are his range, which will allow him to hit a lot of magic balls, but it also seriously reduces his offensive efficiency and stability.

Arenas was very emotional in this game, so his shooting range was even more bold.This allowed the Celtics, who had not scored a point in the first 2 minutes of the game, to take a three-point lead in the first quarter.

The Celtics almost let the outcome lose suspense in the second quarter.In this section, Pierce scored 9 points on 6-of-15 shots, and Ray Allen and Garnett also scored 9 points.

At the end of this section with two and a half minutes left, the Celtics replaced the main players.

Caron Butler is a scoring wing who can catch and shoot; he is incapable of playing the main offensive role, unable to break through at all, and has a bad overall view; he is poor defensively, willing to cooperate but unable to keep up with others one-on-one.

Arenas is fast and strong, but not the kind of man who takes pride in defense and seems willing to accept the reality of being singled out.
Shi Lei made a mistake in his first offense. He really didn't expect the Wizards' perimeter defense to be so bad. He deliberately chose a relatively safe breakthrough route so that his teammates could come out to pick and roll for him.

Unfortunately, he entered the paint so fast that Brian, who came out to cover him, stood in front of him. He couldn't change direction calmly when he got up to speed, which made him lose control of the basketball.

Unexpectedly got a steal, which put Arenas in a good mood. He opened his hand in a fast push and scored a three-pointer. At this time, the Celtics' defense did not return at all. Fortunately, the ball was hit. Hit the first three-pointer.

"puff!"

The shot was successful, Arenas proudly blew his fingers at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei glanced at him coldly, but did not respond.

In this attack, Shi Lei signaled his teammates to pull away from his singles.In the substitute lineup, Shi Lei has this kind of tactical freedom, but this is not because he wants to fight back against Arenas, but because he wants to test the strength of the opponent's defense.

The main force was on the field just now, and Shi Lei felt that the Wizards couldn't defend against him sitting off the field. He thought it was because Pierce and the others were too strong. The offensive mistake just now made Shi Lei feel afraid.
Shi Lei strode past Caron Butler and quickly cut to the basket.

If Shi Lei's breakthrough speed was too fast, it would be better to say that the Wizards' defense was too slow. Shi Lei broke through the first line of defense and faced the big basket directly.

During the rapid push, Shi Lei retracted the ball into his lower abdomen. He didn't feel that there was a pursuer behind him, so he stepped on the floor while taking a step, and dunked the ball into the basket with a backhand in flight.

Finally got his first stats in the new season, Shi Lei waved his fist with a sense of relief.

It was the Wizards' attack again, Arenas controlled the ball and advanced quickly, after halftime, Shi Lei rushed forward.

"This person is weird!", this was the impression Arenas left on Shi Lei in this match.

Completely unpredictable shots, casual and even reckless playing style, this is the weirdest player Shi Lei has ever seen in his short NBA career. He doesn't intend to give his opponent too much space anymore.

Obviously Shi Lei has already stuck so tightly, Arenas did not observe the position of his teammates, but casually controlled the ball, tilted his head and asked questioningly: "Are you guarding me? Are you sure?"

Shi Lei didn't intend to respond to him, but this also made him slightly startled.What surprised him was that in such an instant, the basketball was thrown by the opponent, or it would be more appropriate to say that it was thrown.

Looking at the arc drawn by the basketball, Shi Lei understood that with such a height, even if he jumped with all his strength, he might not be able to block it.

The basketball enters the frame again.

Shi Lei is anxious, he is still very confident in his defense, even if it is teammate Pierce, it will take a lot of effort to break through him, such an opponent who regards his defense as nothing really makes him a little at a loss .

Those pressures make him want to prove himself all the time. Whether it is offense or defense, he must ensure that he is doing quite well in a certain aspect.

For example, in the game against the Cavaliers, he only scored nine points, but he limited James very well.Although the media didn't admit it, Shi Lei knew that he had done a good job and helped the team a lot. In this case, Shi Lei didn't care about the ridicule of the media.

Being able to contribute to the team in direct proportion to what he got is Shi Lei's lowest psychological bottom line, not to fight back, but to comfort himself.

"I didn't waste what my talent has already acquired!"

On defense, Arenas hit three-pointers consecutively, Shi Lei's heart became anxious, he immediately started to catch the basketball, cutting in abruptly.At this time, both the attacker and the defender are still in the embryonic stage of running and standing, and the scene is extremely chaotic.

Many things have two sides, such as Shi Lei's attack, if it is unsuccessful, it will be called blindness, but if it succeeds, it will be called surprise.

Shi Lei unexpectedly cut into the penalty area, perhaps subconsciously, this possibility is very high, Jamison, who is not very serious about defense, successfully blocked Shi Lei's breakthrough route.

Teammates need to adapt, and tactics need time. Shi Lei's breakthrough was too fast this time, and none of his teammates ran out of a suitable position to catch the ball.I realized that I was a little impatient, but there was no room for maneuver in things.

Could this be another mistake?
Shi Lei, who was in the process of breaking through, gritted his teeth, tightened his muscles, lowered his center of gravity again, and rushed towards Jamison.

Seeing Shi Lei's appearance, Jamieson knew that this rookie was going to force his way, so he immediately stabilized his footing.

Shi Lei's weight is 194 pounds, a standard outside weight, but Jamieson never thought that he could not resist this rookie.
