: One hundred and fifty: not very friendly

At noon on the 22nd, Hollins took the players on a plane to Boston. One of the biggest features of the Grizzlies' monthly schedule is that they have become more frequent with the Eastern Conference.
In the previous few months, the Grizzlies were basically facing Western teams. But in January, their road trips to the east began to increase. The most annoying thing about playing against the Eastern Conference team is that apart from being unfamiliar with the opponent, there is also a long flying distance.
From Memphis to Boston, most of the civilian flights need to be connected, which will take at least 5 hours. Although the Grizzlies’ private flight does not require transit, it also takes more than three hours to reach Boston.
It was a long flight, and most players started taking a nap as soon as they got on the plane. Link couldn't sleep, the Chinese forward leaned his head on the window of the plane, thinking about the conversation with Tony Allen and Randolph after the game yesterday.
"Boston is not as simple as you think, Link. In that place, our trouble will be more than basketball. I don't like Boston, which is one of the reasons why I did not choose to renew my contract with the Celtics. What does the place say? As a person of color, I feel that life is quite depressing."
Link did not expect Tony Allen to say that. He knew that Boston was one of the most racially discriminatory cities in the United States, but he did not expect it to be so serious.
Link believes that as a member of the Celtics, even if Tony Allen was unpopular at the beginning, it shouldn't be too much trouble.
However, Tony Allen's later recounting refreshed Link's understanding of the city of Boston.
"You know, Boston is a city with a long history. Most of the aborigines there are pure-bred whites who immigrated from Europe 2000 years ago. There are fewer blacks there, and because of many historical reasons, Boston has suffered serious problems even today. Racial discrimination. You might say that as NBA stars, we will definitely be respected. Wrong, Link. Back then, even Bill Russell was in Boston, and he met local white people in his apartment at night. The situation in the bedroom. I also encountered a lot of unpleasant things when I was playing for the Celtics. Anyway, I really don’t like that place."
"Yes, yes, I went to Boston to live for a while, and it was completely a white-supreme city. Racial discrimination and Irishism were carved into the bones of this city. I still like Memphis, at least for its ethnic tolerance. Better." After listening to Tony Allen, Randolph nodded in agreement.
Thinking of the conversation in the locker room yesterday, Link shook his head. These two guys are too exaggerated, what age are they, and they are still worried about this kind of thing. Which of the Celtics Big Three is not black? People don't get mixed up.
Without thinking about it, Link also felt a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes. He didn't think about so much mess, just wanted to play an excellent performance in North Shore Garden.
※※※
Boston North Shore Garden is another basketball temple in the league besides Staples.
The dome of the arena, pieces of retired jerseys and championship pennants have written the glorious history of this great NBA team. Even the special texture of the oak floor of this arena exudes a strong sense of history.
Link was standing in the North Shore Garden Arena. The scene was noisy. The noise here was much louder than when he played away in Salt Lake City.
Hollins must yell out loud to ensure that the players can hear him. Link now knows how Rivers became a drake voice.
Link looked at the surrounding stands, and, as expected, he really saw many signs with discriminatory slogans. Randolph and Tony Allen didn't even bother to look up, which was the norm for them.
Link shook his head. From yesterday afternoon to now, he has lived in Boston for almost 24 hours. But Link can already feel the unfriendliness of the city of Boston.
Yesterday afternoon during the training session, a local reporter in Boston even asked Link, "As a Chinese, how does it feel to survive in the NBA?"
At first glance, this question seems okay, but the reporter used the term "hk" to describe the Chinese.
How natural it was to say this word from the Boston reporter. He blurted it out without thinking about it. After asking, he didn't even feel that it was wrong. This shows how Bostonians usually call Chinese.
In the end, Link refused to answer the reporter's question. The reporter was still quite dissatisfied, saying that he would report to the Union Office to punish Link.
When Link was on the plane yesterday, he felt that Randolph and Tony Allen were a bit exaggerated, but now Link has seen how good Boston is.
"Hey, can you see the numbers on the scoreboard with such small eyes? Hahahahaha!"
At this moment, the shouts of several fans in the stands burst into Link's ears. Not only Link, but even Hollins suddenly stopped talking and looked up at the stands. There is no doubt that everyone heard the shout of the fan just now.
Seeing that he had attracted the attention of the Grizzlies players, the white fan raised the corner of his eyes. It seems that he is quite proud of this.
"Don't mind the rubbish, focus on the game, Link." Hollinsted comforted Link, and Link nodded silently.
He is very fortunate that at least he has a bunch of supporting teams beside him.
In this misty atmosphere, the referee urged both players to step onto the court. At that moment, the shouting in the North Bank Garden rose another octave. But in addition to the sound of cheering for the Celtics, naturally there is also a lot of trash.
This place in Boston really makes people not want to stay longer for a second.
"The game is about to start. This is definitely the biggest challenge the Grizzlies have encountered in the past ten days. The Boston Celtics are different from the teams on the edge of the playoffs. They are third in the East and still have The champion is staring at him. For the Grizzlies, this is a challenge to test their quality!"
Before the game started, the espn trump card commentator Mike Brin's voice had already puffed the fans' appetite.
Mike Brin is the first time this season to comment on the Grizzlies game live, because as the ace commentator of espn, he mostly appears in important games like national broadcast. And this season, the Grizzlies have almost no national broadcast games.
But today, due to the momentum of the Grizzlies, the Celtics have huge traffic, so espn listed this game as a key game. Therefore, Mike Brin was sent over.
Although Mike Brin didn't comment on the Grizzlies game live, he still has a certain understanding of the Grizzlies' performance and the magical loss. So today, Brin is especially looking forward to Link's play. He would like to see how much a losing draft can do on the court.
After all, his opponent today is Paul Pierce, one of the league's strongest small forwards!
I don't know if the villain wearing the dark blue No. 0 jersey can continue his counterattack this time.
"Okay, the lineups from both sides play. On the Celtics side, Nenad Costic and Garnett partnered inside, Paul Pierce played the third position, and Ray Allen remained the same. The first position is still Rajon Rondo ~EbookFREE.me~ The lineup has not changed."
The Celtics' lineup is almost the same as last season. The only change is that Kendrick Perkins, a defensive defender at the fifth position, has become a Serbian center Nenad Kostic with no sense of existence.
In the middle of the season this year, the Celtics traded Perkins and "Little Potato" Nate Robinson to the Thunder to get Krstic and Jeff Green.
Perkins' defensive ability is naturally not possessed by Krstic, but the brawny center did not come back until January this year after a knee injury last year, and the state after the comeback was very ordinary. Coupled with the fact that the Celtics are missing the third position, Angie made this transaction.
It can be said that it is another example of a typical hero who was directly abandoned after being injured and useless.
Angie believes that with Garnett guarding the inside, even without Perkins, the Celtics' inside defense will not be too bad. What's more, there are still two O'Neals in the Celtics team, and Angie hopes that the two will play the role that Perkins previously played in the playoffs after returning from injury.
However, looking at the game more than half a month after the trade, the impact of Perkins' departure on the Celtics' defensive end is still very huge. Kg is already 5 years old, and it is difficult for him to be leak-proof on the defense end. And Jeff Green's offensive frustration is difficult to make up for the loss of the Celtics on the defensive end.
So today, Hollins’s task for the players is to attack the Celtics inside!
Link looked at Pierce, listened to the insults from the stands, and couldn't help taking a deep breath, feeling the air fill his lungs, which calmed him down.
He still firmly believes that the Boston Celtics are no longer invincible. Moreover, he desperately desires to take away victory in the North Shore Garden in front of those foreign garbage!
