Chapter 78 Defend

After his teammates left, Shi Lei asked Posey beside him.At this time, Shi Lei felt guilty. He thought he disrupted the team's normal training plan and made the locker room less harmonious. He even felt alienated from his teammates.This confused him.

"No, the winner can't be wrong."

Fat Posey is not so ridiculous now, but his expression is very relaxed, as if nothing happened on the training ground just now.

"Then why do I feel that everyone has become distant from me?"

"Because they have some new understanding of you, you are no longer so easy to get along with."

"Do you also think I did something wrong?" Posey's answer made Shi Lei feel frustrated, no one told him how to solve it, he just used his own way, which didn't seem acceptable.

Shi Lei never wanted to be a "cancer" for a team, especially this team, which gave him unbelievable support. He didn't want to be a "destroyer" for this team on the way to the championship!
"How could that be, dude, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Only a guy like me is supposed to be a 'nice guy' or a 'boxer', and you're not like that, you can be genteel, but you have to be With arrogance, maybe you like to share, but you have to let yourself be selfish in important moments, you can also be restrained, but you also have to let people know that you are inviolable."

After Posy finished speaking, he tilted his head and asked Shi Lei with his eyes if he understood everything he said.

"What do you mean?" Shi Lei was confused, Percy seemed to be saying something he couldn't understand.

"Well, what I want to say is that becoming a star is not an easy task. Everything you have done just now shows that you seem to have that potential."

After Posy finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he didn't even understand what he was saying, so he spread his hands and said to Shi Lei: "I don't understand this very well, but you should ask Paul or Kevin, what kind of problems do they have? Experience. And I don't, I'm just a role player."

"Well, well, my friend, you just have to tell me if I'm doing something wrong or not?"

"No, you just defended your own things. Are you willing to let others take everything from you?"

Shi Lei nodded, Posey's statement made him feel a lot more comforted, yes, he was just defending his own stuff, the management kept telling him that he was the future of the team, and Rondo wanted to steal everything , he has to fight, doesn't he?

Rivers quickly found out what was going on in the locker room, and as a head coach he always had his own sources.

"Oh, it really surprises me that there is still such a change in his personality! But it's not bad, I will contact Paul and he will control it."

When Rivers told Angie everything, Angie didn't seem to care much.

"But Danny, we can't go through any more turmoil that could cost us everything we're after."

"Yes, but something will happen, won't it? We should be thankful that this came sooner, not later, when the real disaster will be."

"Oh, well, I hope you can always maintain this optimism." Rivers rubbed his forehead, he felt really bad today.

"Dear friend, there is no need to be so depressed. This is not the end of the world. I have found a solution. You should go back to rest and deal with the game the day after tomorrow. Leave it to me."

What Ainge said the day after tomorrow, the Celtics came to Cleveland.

Before the game, Pierce appeared "uncomfortable", and he told Rivers that he would not be able to participate in this game.

Rivers knew what Angie's approach was.

A game, or a few games, is nothing to the Celtics. Losing or winning is not an obstacle that can stop the Celtics from advancing. What can hinder them, from the present point of view, is the stability of the team.

This game came at the right time, and there is no better opponent than against Cleveland.

Before the game, Shi Lei received a notice from Rivers that he would start, but he met Pierce earlier.

"What's the matter, Paul?"

In the hotel where the team stayed, Shi Lei received a call from Pierce, so he entered his room.

"I won't be playing in this game."

Pierce's words surprised Shi Lei: "Why? Are you injured?"

"Listen, I'm not injured, but I'm not going to play, you should understand why!"

The serious Pierce made Shi Lei feel his strength.

Shi Lei was silent, but he finally raised his head, no matter what, he faced the reason, right or wrong: "Because of that training match, do you also think I did something wrong?"

"No, this is not a question of right and wrong, but you should understand that this year is very important to me. Whether you are right or wrong is not up to me, nor anyone else, but you .Today you will start, take my place, show your energy, tell everybody you are right, you know what I mean?"

"The winner can't be wrong?"

This reminded Shi Lei of what Posey said to him.

"Yes, that's what it means, let people see your abilities, as long as they are your enemies, let them feel this."

"I will, just tonight, to make it all over."

In the NBA, there are two superstars Shi Lei who played the best against them, one is Carmelo Anthony and the other is LeBron James.

As the most important footnote for Shi Lei to stay in the NBA this season, Shi Lei has enough understanding of them, and in terms of physical fitness, there is not much obvious gap between him and them.

This is the only reason for him to say this.

Of course, all of this is about defense, not offense. Maybe he will have the confidence to say this to everyone after all, but not now.

The game started, there was no applause or cheers, amidst the laughter of the crowd, Shi Lei started again.

Shi Lei always got some ridicule on the road, especially in Cleveland, where the fans didn't welcome him because of his ugly defense.

Cavaliers starting lineup: point guard Daniel Gibson, shooting guard Larry Hughes, small forward James, power forward Drew Gooden, center Zaidrunas Ilgauskas, ok , let's call him Big Z.

Celtics starting lineup is: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Shi Lei, Garnett, Perkins.

As an insider known for his height and soft touch, Big Z had the same dismal jump ball winning percentage as Yao Ming. Garnett won easily and put the basketball in Rondo's hands.

Shi Lei knew that the war to defend everything he got was really coming.
