Chapter 350: Pre-game competition
Boston, a modern metropolis located on the Atlantic coast of the northeastern United States. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoFounded in 1630, the city is one of the oldest and most culturally valuable cities in the United States. The Tea Party in the Boston area caused the American Revolutionary War that changed the history of mankind.
Of course, in addition to cultural, historical and political reasons, the city is equally important in other ways.
The Boston Celtics, whose name, like the Los Angeles Lakers in the West, have become synonymous with traditional giants. The Celtics have won 17 championships in their history, a number that no one has yet beat. Among them, from 1959 to 1966, under the leadership of "Cardinal" Auerbach and "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, he won an unprecedented eight consecutive championships, which created an unbreakable super dynasty in NBA history.
There are too many honors for this team. Those jerseys hanging over TD's North Shore Garden Arena can also be a great thing to talk about for a few nights. But now, none of that history has anything to do with this game. History is something that has passed. It can't control the present, and it can't change the future.
Whether it's eight straight championships or Auerbach, whether it's the league's 17-most championships or Larry Bird, none of these factors have anything to do with Anjie and his Trail Blazers. The only thing they need to worry about now is the Celtic triumvirate who once defeated "Peter Pan" Kobe and Gasol, and is also one of the most successful trios in the league!
Although Anjie has also played against the Celtics before, he still loses more and wins less. Besides, the Thunder Three Shao at that time could be regarded as a triumvirate configuration.
But now, Anjie must be on his own against the Celtics. Aldridge is certainly a good helper, but if you really want to win, the biggest influencing factor is Anjie herself.
Outside the TD North Shore Garden Arena in the morning glow, it's not just a temple for basketball lovers, but also one of Boston's top tourist attractions. He represents not only the mastery of Boston's high-level modern architecture, but also the city's urban culture.
A team representing a city is a common occurrence in the United States. However, many visitors who stand outside the arena and look up at the huge posters of the Celtics players do not know that their idol is training in the training hall at the moment and has not yet left.
"Hey KG, what, you can't be nervous, right?" Paul Pierce took a break from a sweaty end, and seeing Garnett's solemn expression, Pierce decided to make a joke to let his brother relax.
"Nervous? The person who should be nervous should be Anjie's kid!" Garnett used to only see Anjie as a potential rookie, and he and the Thunder couldn't threaten the Celtics' progress at all. Therefore, in the past, Garnett's attitude towards An Jie was also "gentle".
But now, a year later, AnJie has become a veritable first-line star. The duel between him and Garnett has long been hyped up by the outside world. Now Anjie is no longer a potential rookie, but a strong opponent that KG must face! Therefore, this time the duel between the two sides gives Garnett a very different feeling than before.
"Be merciful, KG, you don't scare young people anymore. Ray Allen practiced shooting while talking to Garnett. He knew the temper of his teammate, the trash talk on Garnett's pitch, and Ray Allen, as a teammate, couldn't stand it.
"Who scares whom, it's not necessarily? You know why KG is so serious, because that Chinese is not good at stubble!" Pierce laughed, to be honest, he admired An Jie, not because of his stats and performance, but because of his style on the court, he can definitely be regarded as a villain. And it is precisely the wicked who can survive in the alliance.
Pierce likes the bad guys because he knows that in the NBA, the good guys don't always end well.
"Come on, even if a chick is tough, it's pretended, and I'll get it done tomorrow. Brandon!" Garnett yelled, and a stocky black man on the field who was shooting in practice immediately turned his head.
"What's wrong?" replied Brandon Bass respectfully.
"Tomorrow is optimistic about Aldridge, I don't have to worry about you on my side. Garnett smiled, but his smile didn't give the slightest sense of friendliness. Of course, he wasn't smiling at Buzz, but at Anjie.
At this moment, Anjie was celebrating the team's upcoming victory on the bench in Washington, D.C., when suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine. An Jie looked back, and there was nothing unusual in the back except for the lost Wizards fans.
"It's a strange thing. "Anjie put on his training clothes, and it wouldn't be good if he suddenly caught a cold before the next big game......
....................
If Garnett knew that the cold was approaching Washington, he would be too complacent. But now, at TD North Shore Flower Ball, Garnett doesn't feel anything but the heat.
Is he really not afraid of An Jie at all? No, the reason why Garnett has been very serious from yesterday to now is the proof that he is very worried about An Jie.
This young guy is different, he has a tough style of play, and his skills are the best among the big guys. Even that unclean style of play, you can find it in An Jie. Such an opponent is definitely not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.
Although he deliberately ordered in front of Brandon Bass yesterday, whether he can carry Anjie in a one-on-one is something that the 36-year-old Garnett cannot guarantee.
If you go back seven or eight years, Garnett wouldn't be afraid of any Chinese butcher at all. But now he is really competitive, but he has no ability to win.
He only hoped that he could completely disrupt An Jie's rhythm with that stinky mouth and dirty movements, and make him play abnormally. But if that doesn't work, Garnett won't have a deal. I hope this strong butcher can be beaten out of a gap by Garnett.
"Hello everyone, I'm Doris Burke, and it's a pleasure to meet you in Boston. The night view here today is very beautiful, but I think many people are like me, and this game is the reason why we are here!" said Doris Burke expertly as he opened the sentence, followed by players from both sides warming up.
From the moment the Trail Blazers got off the plane, they were surrounded by reporters. This live broadcast in the United States has really attracted the attention of too many people. Although young people have begun to gradually take over the league, the popularity of the old Big Three is still high.
The former immature Thunder and the invincible Celtics may not be a level of rivalry. But now, the Trailblazers led by An Jie are definitely a strong opponent on par with the Big Three.
When Anjie was a child, Garnett was very famous. But from beginning to end, Anjie was not a fan of Garnett. He just admires this former all-round striker.
So when warming up, An Jie's eyes would always look at Garnett unconsciously. But every time, Garnett's expression in response was unusually fierce.
"He's like this, in fact, others are not bad, but they are never polite to opponents. Aldridge knows Garnett better than Anjie, and in private, Garnett will encourage Aldridge and even lend a hand. But on the court, Garnett's trash talk made the elegant Aldridge miserable every time.
"I don't care if he's a good guy LaMarcus, if he's good, I'll be kind to him. He's going to be bad, and I'm going to be worse than he thinks. An Jie didn't avoid his gaze this time, he met Garnett's fierce eyes. Not to be outdone, the two men did not want to lose in this confrontation.
Sensitive reporters at the scene naturally saw these two men standing at each end of the stadium glaring at each other, and they frantically pressed the shutter or turned on the camera, so that this scene spread to every corner of the world.
"Do you know why this game is so compelling? The strength of the Trail Blazers and Celtics is close to that, this is one thing, and what sparks will be sparked by the collision between the two villains of Anjie and KG, which is the biggest attraction of this game. Charles Barkley himself is not a good person, so he also likes to watch this kind of lively scene. If this match can be turned into an unrestricted free fight by Anjie and Garnett, it will be the best ending for Barkley.
The warm-up time was quickly over, and the referee signaled for both players to move closer to the centre circle, while the two centre-forwards had to stand face to face and prepare for the ball. Since the Celtics sent an inside combination of Garnett and Buss, it was only natural that the person who played the center position became Garnett.
Garnett and An Jie's eyes still did not let go of each other, and Garnett was very surprised in his heart, because there were not many people in this alliance who dared to look at him. No. 21 in San Antonio and No. 24 in Los Angeles have to be counted, but a Chinese center? What are you kidding!? No, he'll be afraid!
With this in mind, Garnett's gaze collided with An Jie mercilessly. But what about An Jie, he wasn't scared at all, An Jie didn't even blink his eyes!
Walking to the middle circle, An Jie and Garnett's faces were almost together. Before the game even started, the referee had to separate the two big men. Seeing this, the commotion at TD North Shore Garden Arena was even louder.
"Don't think you can scare me like this, I know who you are, I know you're a soft egg inside. Look at your playoff performance and look at your sinking during your injury. Don't pretend to be safe, you don't understand the meaning of the word strong at all. I'll tell you whose territory this is, softass!" Garnett's mouth chattered endlessly, the audience couldn't hear it, the narrator couldn't hear it, but Anjie could hear it clearly. And Garnett also deliberately bit the word "Soft" very hard. As long as it is a normal man with blood, who can stand the humiliation of such words!
But An Jie, he didn't speak. Just punched Garnett with a shut-up zipper gesture. After that, An Jie tilted his head and took a step back, ready to scramble for the ball.
Garnett chuckled disapprovingly and took a step back. The referee was able to do his job and throw the basketball into the air.
The arms of the two big guys are staggered in the air, and the basketball has not yet determined its belonging.
This important regular season competition will be very intense. Because before the game, Anjie and Garnett had already excited the fans.
Bloody rain, butcher against wolf king. Who will survive to the end, wait and see!
