Milicic left the game due to injury in the game against the Magic, but in the end, with Paul Pierce's incredible 45 points and Al Jefferson's extraordinary performance of 16 points and 11 rebounds, the Celtics won the away game.
game, but in the last quarter, the Magic team scored a total of 32 points, 21 of which came from the three-second zone. Howard, Hill, and Francis took turns attacking the basket. Mark Blount and Stillwater were
The two insiders had almost no defensive ability, and at this time Al Jefferson's shortcomings of insufficient height also appeared. Fortunately, Pierce scored 4 three-pointers in the last quarter to stabilize the situation.
Many media outlets commented after the game.
"From leading all the way to being almost reversed, all the Magic did was to take Milicic off the court. Although Jefferson is an excellent player, he is obviously not comparable to Milicic." - "DIME"
"Milicic exposed Howard's rough technical characteristics, and his departure also exposed the Celtics' background. Although I am not a Celtics fan, I really started to worry about the Celtics."
——"SLAM"
"Without Milicic, I seem to see the Celtics team that made it to the first round of the playoffs again. Pierce's performance is still eye-catching, but relying on him alone, the Celtics still cannot become a strong team."
——Charles Barkley
After two back-to-back away games, the Celtics finally returned to their home court. However, Milicic's condition was not optimistic. Under the team doctor's examination, it was discovered that Milicic had a left shoulder muscle sprain and would have to rest for about four weeks. If
If he is forced to play, it is very likely to cause a tear in the left shoulder ligament, which may result in the season being reimbursed. Rivers will certainly not let Milicic take such a risk to play, but the real difficulty is that Milicic is missing.
What to do next?
Originally, the existence of Milicic and Jefferson made the Celtics not very worried about the problem of poor interior substitutes. After all, these two were born in 1985, and they were less than 20 years old, allowing them to stay on the court for more time.
More time, and the strategy of having a smaller lineup has made up for this very well, but now that the team has lost the only long man over seven feet, not only has there been a problem in the offensive series, but also the defense has been lost.
high.
Milicic knows that he will encounter many injuries in his career. He should not be too frustrated at this time, but at the same time, he cannot slack off. Although he is wearing a protective gear on his right shoulder, Milicic is still under the guidance of Du
For training on running, jumping and balance, Milicic, who is left-handed, also took this time to practice shooting with his right hand.
After the Hilton incident was exposed by the media, Milicic has become a new sports idol sought after by many female fans with his handsome face and elegant playing style. Although many people do not like Paris Hilton, everyone does not
Denying that she is at the forefront of American fashion to a certain extent, Milicic is naturally sought after by many women after getting together with her.
Milicic's All-Star vote has since surpassed Ben Wallace of the Pistons, and is second only to Shaquille O'Neal at the center position. On the weekend's "Barkley Talk Show", O'Neal and Milicic
They all arrived, and Barkley had a chat with the two people about the game.
When talking about his views on that game, O'Neal smiled and said: "Darko is a good center. He feels like David Robinson to me. They are about the same height and weight, and both have good attacking skills facing the basket.
With his super scoring ability, I believe that one day Darko will become a center like David."
O'Neal and Robinson were both one of the top four centers in the 1990s. This means that Milicic is still far behind him.
Of course Milicic can hear what he means, but what O'Neal said is the truth. For now, the two are one on one. If Milicic doesn't pull out to shoot three-pointers, I'm afraid O'Neal will score 10 goals by himself.
He can score about 4 goals. If he met the young O'Neal, it would be even more unimaginable.
But no matter how powerful O'Neal said, it was an indisputable fact that Milicic scored 21 points in the game against the Heat. Barkley asked O'Neal to fulfill this promise in front of the national audience and kiss Barkley's butt.
Kenny Smith also fanned the flames and said to O'Neal: "Shaq, Charles takes a shower every day for you and does some maintenance on his butt. I guarantee that now Charles can be fascinated when he bends down to pick things up.
Comrade, hurry up! Shaq! Charles has been with you for over 6 hours, you can't ask for more from him."
As a result, O'Neal kissed Barkley's bald head at the end of the day when he was caught off guard, and said that no one would object to using this as a substitute for his butt. Milicic was the bettor, and he knew that he would not be able to disgrace O'Neal with this incident.
It would make everyone lose face in the future, so Milicic stopped pursuing the matter and let him pass.
Finally, Barkley also asked about Milicic's injury. Milicic said that he would miss some games and might miss the All-Star Weekend. Therefore, he also reminded fans not to vote for him anymore, but to vote for those who can participate in the All-Star Weekend.
player. Milicic's move is to retreat in order to advance. In fact, the current number of votes is entirely due to the hype of these news and the Celtics' current good record. Once he cannot win, his record will decline and his exposure will decrease. In the end,
I still can't be selected for the All-Stars. Instead of saying that, why don't you say that you won't participate in the All-Stars? From this perspective, it's not that you can't participate, but that you don't want to participate.
Milicic is doing well here, but the Celtics are suffering. After losing Milicic, there is actually a certain loss in combat strength, but more importantly, psychologically, Pierce also knew before that there was no inside line.
At that time, the Celtics had a winning rate of about 50%, which was completely different from now. Moreover, it was much easier to control their shots with an inside line. Everyone thought that the next game would be difficult to play.
The lack of fighting spirit caused the Celtics to be beaten 109 to 92 in the next game against the Bucks. Bucks center Gadzuric had 11 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks. Power forward Joe Smith, the No. 1 pick in 1995, even more.
It was a long-awaited 20+10 figure. The Celtics, who had only lost one game in the previous 12 games, lost one game immediately after losing Milicic, and it was the biggest loss this season.
