Chapter 109: The season begins, expedition to Boston!

The Boston Celtics, one of the most well-known teams in NBA history, and the Lakers are called the league double bears.
16-time NBA championship, "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, eight consecutive championships, "Cardinal" Auerbach, "Big Bird" Bird, yellow-green battle...
There are too many people and too many stories about this team.
Of course, just as Barkley thought on the show, this team is strong and defends with iron.
To understand it with another meaning, their defense is very tough, and it is indeed...dirty.
This dirty is not necessarily a derogatory term. In the last century, the bad boy army, iron elbow horse dragon, Jordan's law, that is the real dirty.
The Celtics have retained some of their original traditions even if they enter the new century because of their old style of playing.
Of course, the current Celtics team and that powerful team can no longer match.
When their mortal enemy Lakers started another dynasty with the "OK combination", they themselves were still struggling for the playoffs.
The last time the Celtics made the playoffs dates back to the 1994~1995 season.
And their record that season was 35 wins and 47 losses.
It is not that they are strong, but that the East was too weak.
In fact, after the old teams such as Bird and McHale retired, the Celtics have fallen into a long period of reconstruction.
But the good news is that they have a future now.
"Green" twin stars Anthony Walker and Paul Pierce.
Walker, nicknamed "Fat Tou Tuo", was the representative of the league's "Million Dollar Player" before Odom.
The league evaluated him as "Bird second", and Bird evaluated him as "the second magician."
From these evaluations, we can see that he is by no means a statistic brush, but a solid player.
Last season, as a fourth-grader, he turned in an all-around data of 20.5 points, 8 points, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
But Walker has one of the most stinky preferences. As a power forward, he likes to shoot three pointers.
This is not really a bad problem, look at Nowitzki, a standard space power forward.
But the problem is that he...cannot vote.
Last season, he averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game, but only hit 0.9 per game, and the shooting percentage was 25.6%!
It's really hot-eyed, and it has made the Celtics management and fans unable to complain.
But Sun Hao knew that this was not the beginning. As a traverser, he knew that Walker was the real three-pointer this season.
It's hard to imagine a power forward who made 8 three-pointers at the beginning of the century!
You must know that during the 14-15 season of Curry's rise, his average shots per game is only this number!
But it doesn't matter, fans will see it this season.
Paul Pierce.
"Write it down, my name is Shaquille O'Neal, and Paul Pierce is the truth! You write down my words and send them out as they are!"
This is what O'Neal said to the media in 2001 when Pierce scored 42 points against the Lakers.
Since then, the name of Truth has been known to fans.
Pierce's averaging data is not beautiful, and few people put him in the league's history of super comparison.
But only opponents have the most say.
Just like O'Neal, just like Kobe.
In Kobe's autobiography, "The Spirit of Mamba," Kobe mentioned that the hardest player to defend is Pierce.
Pierce's physical fitness is not particularly outstanding among the superstars, but he is able to maximize every talent in his body.
He has comprehensive skills, is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and has a super big heart. He is a player who takes the floor flow to the extreme.
Last season, only in the second year of his career, he had already averaging 19.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.1 assists per game.
And his hit rate reached 44.2%, which was quite impressive at the beginning of the century.
Of course, neither Walker nor Pierce is a player who has not reached the peak.
The Mavericks' opener against such an opponent is a good start for them.
Of course, there are disadvantages, this time they are away from home.
The North Shore Garden Arena is by no means an ordinary place.
The day before the game, Sun Hao followed the whole team on the plane to Boston.
On the plane, Sun Hao deliberately stayed beside Eisley and heard the story about Pierce's $11 he hadn't finished before.
"Can I still live doctor? Can I still live?"
Pierce was so angry.
There was no answer. The doctor looked at the man covered in blood and his clothes torn to pieces, thinking about how to contain the blood.
Fortunately, Pierce got his life back because of Betty’s timely delivery.
The doctor said that he needed a long recovery period and was unable to exercise vigorously for at least one year.
But Pierce was stunned to be discharged from the hospital three days later, and started training soon, and even participated in the Celtics training camp on time.
"Is he in the opening match?"
After hearing the story, Sun Hao asked curiously.
"Yes, he will, that's Celtic tradition."
Esley said.
He entered the league early and played against the Celtics a lot.
"Tell you something about the North Shore Garden Arena."
Davis opened his head, and Sun Hao was curious.
"You may have heard that the NBA has a lot of devil's home stadiums, like the Energy Solution Arena in Salt Lake City. Their arena is like a canyon. The decibels of noise can make you feel that your eardrums are bombarded.
Like the Denver Pepsi Center, where the altitude is more than 1,600 meters, there is always a feeling that you can't breathe at any time.
But the North Shore Garden Arena is the most devil, or the worst place for the visiting team. "
Sun Hao listened with gusto.
Don't say, the team has a teammate who likes to tell stories so much, it is actually a very interesting thing.
"That was the 1994-95 season, when I just entered the league and played in San Antonio.
That was the final stage of the regular season. We were only one game away from the Utah Jazz. We won the last game and we were number one in the league.
The same situation also happened to Boston, they are only one game away from the Bucks, and they will be able to ensure that they enter the playoffs in advance.
But the strength of the two teams is very different, and then that game, you know that April has already begun, and the temperature in Boston that day was close to 20 degrees.
We are athletes, we wear jerseys to play, and we don’t need to turn on the air-conditioning in the closed arena.
But in that game, they turned the air-conditioning temperature to the highest. It didn't take long for us to sweat, panting, and that feeling was terrible. "
"..."
After hearing what Esley had said, Sun Hao showed a speechless expression.
This is really... shameless enough.
"But it's just a small trick. What they really go out is floor tactics."
"Floor tactics?"
This was the first time Sun Hao heard of this word.
"Yes, you know the NBA game venue, the floor is often temporarily replaced."
Sun Hao nodded. The NBA court is very advanced. Like he heard before, when he went overseas to take preseason games, the floor was consigned by planes and assembled on site.
"That is, in this process, they will deliberately use a few boards with very poor flexibility to install them, and then they will inform the team which pieces are before the game.
Of course, only the home team's players know it, but the away team's players don't.
When it's time for the game, the home team players will deliberately push the away team players to those few boards.
When you are wondering why the ball bounced so low.
'Snapped! ’
They have taken the ball out of your hands and launched a fast break.
It's useless to complain to the referee. They won't suspend the game because of this, so they succeed every time. "
"..."
This is so... not a little shameless!
Suddenly, Sun Hao felt pained by the Lakers players in the last century's yellow-green battle.
Maybe when they play, will they pop up question marks like a kid, why I suddenly have a bad luck?
Listening to the story, Sun Hao felt that the first battle of his NBA journey would not be as easy as imagined.
The plane quickly arrived at Boston Logan International Airport.
It is cloudy in Boston today.
After entering October, the temperature here has dropped. In addition to this kind of weather, the temperature is obviously lower, about 13 or 4 degrees.
They just got out of the plane, and many people sneezed unconsciously.
Sun Hao also took out the thermos cup from his backpack, and warmed himself with a sip of hot wolfberry tea.
When he put the thermos back in, he suddenly turned his head and spoke to Esley.
"That game, you said that in the 95th game, who won in the end?"
"The Spurs won, and we were number one in the league."
Esley said proudly.
Sun Hao smiled.
It seems that those tricks did not succeed in the end.
But that's normal. The number one team in the league plays a marginal playoff team, and off-court factors are still limited.
The Mavericks and the Celtics, although the season has not yet started, but in all aspects, the Mavericks are better than the Celtics.
The chance to win a good start is not small.
The first game of the season, and ESPN held the Mavericks so high in the new season, you must know that they didn't make the playoffs last season.
Old Nelson also felt the pressure on his shoulders. After the team members put down their luggage and everything in the hotel, he took them directly to the training hall for training.
After some daily training, the old Nelson also organized a full-field confrontation training match.
And unlike the previous rounds of confrontation, the team was divided into two groups and played half the time.
After the fight, the players were sweating.
Old Nelson did this ~EbookFREE.me~ to let the players release all the pressure before the game.
After giving an impassioned speech on the season program at the end, the old Nelson announced the disbandment of the team.
The team members also returned to the locker room to take a shower and rest.
But after a while, there was a screaming sound in the shower room.
There is no hot water in the changing room and shower room of the visiting team!
The staff of the team went to the staff of the arena, but they never came back.
Many team members couldn't help but complain loudly.
Sun Hao couldn't help laughing because of hearing Esley's words on the plane.
This is just the preseason, the Celtics did it.
This opener is interesting.
