Chapter 454 (1/2)

On January 2, 2013, the north bank garden had a very heavy atmosphere. Today, when link stepped into the stadium, he immediately felt a sense of depression.

Celtic fans didn't yell. The lights on the North Bank Garden stand were dim, as if only the basketball court was illuminated. And around the basketball court, it's dark.

Celtics lost three games in a row, losing 23 points per game. In the face of such a situation, Celtic fans are naturally unable to clamor. After all, they are very clear that the Celtic team today's opponent, is the league's first, is now 25 wins, only 3 losses, just two days ago just slaughtered the Pacers are not left!

It may be the first time Celtic fans have been so unsure at home since the big three gathered on the east coast in 2007.

Link was observing the unusual north bank garden when he heard a small cheer. Turn around to see, sure enough, it's Celtic players on the field!

The first to take everyone out of the players' tunnel was Pierce, the 34 year old forward, who was very serious.

Link knew what Pierce was thinking, otherwise he would not have asked himself about ”truth” yesterday.

Celtic want to stop at home, pierce wants to continue to use his remaining fuel tank against link.

Link certainly knows how important this victory is for Celtic, but it has nothing to do with him. It is impossible for him to do something like releasing water because he sympathizes with his opponent.

”Link, if Garnett attacks you with garbage today, you must not lose your temper.” Stevens's yelling made link take his eyes off Pierce.

”Don't worry. It's Mr. Zach's anger to be angry.” Link smiles and waves his hand, but Garnett has been in a bad mood recently. It's not a few days since the famous swearing war between him and Anthony.

It's a pity that Garnett got the wrong guy in New York. Anthony has the final say that Garnett has been blocked after the match, and Garnett is afraid to come out in the bus.

is really a mess in New York. Brother Gua has the final say.

Today is Celtic's home, is in Garnett's territory. I guess that guy's mouth will be even more broken.

Link is really worried. Randolph, I hope the goods don't fight Garnett.

After the warm-up, t.nt reporters found pierce and gave him a short pre match interview.

As expected, the reporter's question is related to link, ”is link the best No. 3 player in the league now?”

There is no doubt that the reporter asked pierce this question in the hope that pierce would give some praise to the younger generation.

However, pierce joked, ”I am the best, I have this confidence.”

Reporter Leng in situ, this answer he seems to have heard. Before the 2007 finals, a reporter asked pierce if Kobe was the best player on the planet. As a result, pierce responded to the reporter with that sentence.

As we all know, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 4-2 in the finals and won the 17th championship in the history of Celtics. Pierce, who averaged 22 points, won the fmvp trophy.

Pierce's words soon reached linkel, and he was not surprised.

Don't be fooled by Pierce's honest appearance. He has always been a player who blows his hands and curses his mouth. And like link, he is a ”villain.”.

In 2008, pierce and the other two giants led a 4-2 victory over the Lakers when the media kept saying ”Kobe will get another championship ring.”.

When the world is clamoring for ”23 vs 24” in the finals, pierce and his green army have destroyed people's dreams again and again.

In the face of a high-profile newcomer, when the whole world wants pierce to make way for him, he will quietly take up the boxing and swing one punch after another to those ”decent” who are popular.

Speaking of it, pierce and link are quite similar.

So in the face of Pierce's provocation, link did not respond, ”I just want to play well, that's all.”

Everyone is a villain. It depends on who does it more!

At 8:00 p.m., the referee signals the starting players of both sides to step into the court, and the game is about to start!

Today, there is no player introduction ceremony, and there is no overwhelming cheering. Celtic players are like soldiers who fight to the death, with the determination of ”fight or die if you can't win”, they are in front of the first place in the league.

Celtic side of the starting line and usual, Rondo and Bradley partner outside. Garnett and pierce two old standing front line, the center has always been the Celtic team's soft rib, now let the aged Garnett to top the fifth position is not a wise choice. So, Celtic also tried a lot of choice of starting center this season.

Today, Celtic sends the starting center is 01 year old Jason Collins. Collins's career is not unusual, peak season is not off the court, average 6 points and 6 rebounds.The guy's only public attention was last year, but it wasn't basketball that caught the spotlight, but that he became the first active athlete in North American sports history to publicly admit his homosexuality.

Therefore, position 5 is the breakthrough for Grizzlies today.

The referee whistled, and the heavy atmosphere of the game officially began. Pau Gasol easily took the basketball from Collins' head and Conley pushed the ball past half-time.

Rajan Rondo is not a friendly opponent. The point guard, who has been selected for the best defensive lineup for four years in a row and has been selected as the best defensive team for two years in a row, blocked his path in front of Conley.

Rondo didn't press close at first, but kept a moderate distance, which made Conley unable to accelerate easily.

Conley hit igordala with Rondo's blocking. Igordala has the advantage over Bradley, who is only 1.88 meters tall.
