Chapter 461: Veteran
Back-to-back away games didn't tire the Trail Blazers and Spike Lee out, because wins are never too much. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Anjie and Catherine finished talking on the phone, they slowly walked towards the team bus. This has been a habit that An Jie has developed over the years, and every time she goes to a new place, she will definitely report Catherine's safety.
The bus drove in Boston, the capital city of Massachusetts, and Anjie could clearly feel that the atmosphere of basketball in the city was not as good as it was back then.
In 2008, under the leadership of coach Doug Rivers, the venerable Green Army returned to the NBA after a 22-year absence. And the Celtics Big Three is also the beginning of the league's Big Three model.
During that time, Boston's glory continued, and the Celtics' edge intimidated the entire league. However, all of this came to naught with the departure of Ray Allen from the Heat this summer.
The end of the era of the Big Three represents the complete demise of the Green Army. Although Garnett and Pierce are still here, what can the Celtics do with these two old guys?
Look at the huge posters that have been torn off, and look at the few people on the street wearing Celtics shirts. Anjie seemed to feel the city's wailing, and she could feel the heavy heart of the Green Shirts. Unfortunately, he didn't come here to give hope to the Celtics, on the contrary, he came here to make things worse for Boston.
"Ann, what are you thinking?" If Aldridge hadn't stabbed Ann Jie with his elbow, Ann Jie wouldn't have even noticed that they had arrived at the hotel.
"Nothing, nothing, let's go Lamarcus, let's go pick a room with a nice view outside the window. An Jie smiled at Aldridge, in fact, An Jie was just thinking in his heart, will the Trail Blazers, who are now popular, gradually sink like the Lakers and Celtics who are struggling now?
Struggle, that's a word that couldn't be more appropriate for the Celtics and Lakers. These two giants, who were the top teams in the league two or three years ago, now every victory is not easy for them.
Anjie and the Trail Blazers have already secured the Lakers in the West in the season opener, and now it's up to the Greenshirts in the East to resist the butcher's butcher's knife.

Garnett was in the training ground, looking at the pennants hanging from the ceiling and looking at it in fascination. A championship ring, which naturally can't satisfy Garnett's ambitions. The other man, who was named the No. 21 with him, now holds four rings, and the Spurs are still one of the favourites to win the title.
Garnett crossed his waist and shook his head helplessly. He hated time because not everyone could break the shackles of time like Tim Duncan. He is not the No. 21 rookie, he is just an ordinary person who has changed from a young high school boy to a 36-year-old "veteran" in the blink of an eye.
When Ray Allen decided to leave Celtic this summer, Garnett made no secret of the fact that the legendary goalscorer who had fought alongside him for five years was a traitor. However, when this season got to this point, he found that he and Pierce could no longer play and run and jump like they used to. Garnett gradually felt that Ray Allen was just taking a path that everyone wanted to take, but most people didn't dare to take.
Now, at least Ray Allen still has hope of getting another ring. But he couldn't see any light. This made Garnett very desperate.
"What's wrong with you lately, KG, always staring at these rags in a daze. Paul Pearce returned to the training ground to pick up his phone after changing clothes, only to find Garnett still wearing his shirt.
"When you reach this age, you always think about something. Tomorrow's game will not be easy. Garnett sighed, Anjie and Trailblazer, these two names are torturous enough just to hear them. Add to that Rondo's injury and you can see how tough this game is.
"Tell us which game is easy? Alright, old man, just do your best. You have to know that this era is progressing. When you entered the league and raged, Olajuwon was also unconvinced. This is an endless cycle KG, a cycle that you and I can't escape. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. Pierce saw it very openly, after all, this man who was stabbed 11 times and almost lost his life knew the happiness brought by blandness better than others.
"Have dinner? You know Paul, I only eat seafood from the North Shore Gardens. Garnett laughed.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the North Shore Gardens. ”
....................
"Ann, Ann is a bastard like me!" was the best compliment Garnett gave to Jie after Ander and Garnett played each other last season.
Spike Lee decided to put this image at the beginning of the game to provide a direct illumination of the relationship between Angel and Garnett.
These two villains are enemies of each other, but they appreciate each other. With this delicate relationship, Spike Lee is confident that he will be able to make this game extraordinarily exciting when it comes to editing.
Spike Lee was in the back row of the Trail Blazers' bench thinking about his final shot while Angel and Garnett were finally pictured on the court.
Garnett is not James' kind of "you are all my brothers", he, like Kobe, is friendly to the friendly people, and he can't squeeze out a smile to the people who shouldn't.
Garnett is not like Cousins, Cousins hates Anjie from the bottom of his heart, and the reason why Garnett is reluctant to show favor to Anjie before the game is entirely because he doesn't want to appear weak in momentum.
He is well aware that it will be difficult for him, who is about to turn 37, to win in a head-to-head battle with An Jie. The more this is the case, the more he has to work on the momentum. If An Jie didn't even have the last trace of jealousy against him, then he would be completely defeated.
"Hahahaha, that's it for that guy. He had no ill intentions, but he also had absolutely no good intentions. I said, I'll not be polite later. "The most enthusiastic about Anjie in the Celtics is Anjie's teammate in the Thunder during his rookie season, and Chris Wilcox, the power forward who has wandered three teams in the past few years.
"Even if I let Chris come over, you know, I'm not the same person I used to be. An Jie smiled at Wilcox, Wilcox was getting older, and he was getting stronger. Now not to mention Wilcox, even Garnett himself can't try to stop him.
With 8 wins and 7 losses, although the record is really average, the Celtics have not been bad this season. They're still a huge force in the East, but they don't have a chance of winning the championship.
Riccard reminded his men more than once before the game that they were up against the Boston Celtics, the league's most championship-winning team and a team that had won a championship in five years.
Garnett and Pierce, God knows if these two old ghosts will do something crazy during the game.
Rickard did this because he was afraid that the Trail Blazers would take the Celtics lightly. The hard power of this team is indeed not as good as it was back then, but this team still has a championship and a desire to win! With this alone, anything can happen to the Celtics.
"Go for KG, it's just another damn game. Pierce slapped Garnett's buttocks, and Garnett made his trademark chest-thumping before angrily walking to the center circle.
For someone like Garnett, he may never be old. Therefore, even in the face of An Jie, he has to "habitually" complain twice.
"Five wins in a row, right?"
"Ahh Seeing that Garnett suddenly cared about his opponent, An Jie was a little unresponsive.
"Well, quite a good record. But your winning streak will come to an end in Boston. Anjie knew that it would be okay for Garnett to take the initiative to talk to him.
"You can try Kevin, just like you failed last season. An Jie knew that it was time for spat, so he also got into a war of words with Garnett.
Garnett didn't respond, just turned to look at Pierce, and then turned back to stare at the referee's basketball.
Garnett, who is 36 years old, and Pierce, who is 35 years old, will let Anjie and the Trail Blazers see the power of veterans!
"Beep!" the basketball was thrown into the air, and the two slender arms were intertwined......
