Chapter 476: Pierce's Choice

"Pause!"

Rivers, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, raised his hands in the air and made a timeout gesture to the referee. The referee www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion also took the opportunity to stop the game.

"June 2, 2009, TD North Shore Garden player, Celtics VS Lakers, Shi Lei, 41 points, 17 rebounds, 13 assists, 10 steals!"

The data typed out on the big screen finally made this complete excitement, like a group of demons dancing, and like a feast of hell.

Shi Lei also jumped from the court to the NBA personnel workbench on the sidelines and joined the carnival, he opened his arms and made a flying posture, his eyes slightly narrow, as if listening to something.

The fans knew what he was listening to, and it got louder.

The whole city of Boston shook, and the fans who couldn't make it to the scene celebrated even more insolently in front of the big screens in the wide streets. Fireworks that had been prepared for a long time also burst into the night sky, the smell of alcohol began to waft in the breeze, some people kissed fiercely, and some people began to take off their Celtic jerseys.

Shi Lei's name also became like faith at this time!

In the suddenly dark arena, Pierce looked at Shi Lei, the only one shrouded in light, with a complicated expression, and he knew that the time had really come for him to make a choice!

Kobe Bryant still wears a white towel over his head, and he may be the only one here who is not affected, not because he is also the creator of a "miracle", but because of ....... He didn't throw in the towel!

Life never stops, and the battle doesn't stop!

But does he have comrades?

Phil. Jackson looked at Rivers enviously: "You didn't play his ability at all, your tactics are like shit, he should have had a better performance a long time ago!" ”

The fear in Odom's heart still did not dissipate, he looked at Shi Lei in disgust, but his eyes did not dare to look at him directly, even under the darkness that Shi Lei could not see.

Yes, nightmares!

"Never let me meet him again, never!"

Bynum greedily looked at Shi Lei, who was in the middle of the court: "That person should be me, yes, I should pursue my own data, not be anyone's helper!" ”

The celebration lasted for about ten minutes, and the referee finally calmed the court a little with a poignant whistle, and the game restarted, but was there any point?

No, even the cameras that broadcast the game no longer put the camera on the field, they are still chasing Shi Lei's figure, and the lip experts urgently invited by the TV station are also constantly translating what Shi Lei is saying to his teammates at this time.

There are only a small number of shots, which will be scattered on Kobe Bryant from time to time. scored 52 points in the finals, which is also a good enough statistic, but this is not the reason why he can share the profits, in fact, what the media want to shoot is just how ugly his expression will be!

Being the enemy of the whole world is part of the reason why Kobe Bryant was able to succeed, because it would put him in the fate of being besieged by all enemies after every defeat.

After the game, he received such a baptism.

"What do you think of today's game?"

"How do you see yourself playing today?"

"What do you think of today's opponent?"

The "how", "how", "how", devoured him, it pained him, it made him angry, and yet...... He's still standing tall for all of this, just as he had been when he first came here.

The coldness on Kobe's face that could not be concealed made Phil. Jackson got up in time to block those attacks, and he knew when to help his players. Maybe they don't.

"The Celtics were very strong today, they reminded me of the old Bulls, and each of them knew what they had to do and knew where they were, so they got the win. Kobe Bryant has done everything he can do, he's got 52 points, and not many people can do that in that situation, and that's the only thing that comforts me today. He reminds me of a quote that Michael once said: 'I can accept failure, but I'm more than accepting giving up'! Yes, we still won't give up, just like Kobe did today, we're still going to fight for victory! ”

"Struggle? Mr. Jackson, the Lakers lost to the Celtics by 31 points in this game, the second largest deficit in Finals history, how much do you think you need to pay to close the gap between you? ”

The huge failure of the Lakers finally made the media no longer hide the malice between them, Kobe's face became colder, and the anger in his heart was even more surging, and he thought of his teammates who behaved like shit!

But Phil. Jackson is a man who is accustomed to strong winds and waves, and he can still barely maintain his demeanor: "Gap? You may not be watching the game seriously, Mr. Reporter. In fact we failed today only because we didn't defend their power forward, we all thought he wouldn't be much of a threat in this position, but we were all wrong about a great player, yes, we underestimated him! So we just need to do a better job of defending against him in the next game and we can make the game suspenseful again! ”

Although Phil. Jackson said this repeatedly, but in the next day's report, the media still used headlines like "The Finals No More Suspense" to report on this year's NBA peak matchup.

Except for the first time, most of the space was occupied by Shi Lei, and only a small part was reserved for Kobe, who was also excellent in personal data.

In the Magic's rookie season, after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was injured, he became the center of that Lakers team, which gave the Lakers an NBA championship that year. Now Shi is doing the same thing again, replacing the team's superstar Garnett and leading the team to the second-largest point margin in history, winning the first game of the Finals. This is Shi's third year in the NBA, but if you add a statistic like a quadruple-double, where is the gap between him and the Magic? ”

"Everybody's arguing, who's the best small forward for the Celtics? Stone in the future is not likely to overtake Larry in this position. Bird? But in the first game of the just-concluded NBA Finals, Shi used his excellent performance to tell people that he may not be the best small forward of the Celtics, but he is already the most powerful power forward in the NBA! He's a taller, faster, and more versatile Charles. Buckley! He's a shorter, but more capable scoring, Tim. Duncan! He's a harder punch Kevin. Garnett! He's a richer scorer Karl. Malone! ”

"It's been a decade since the NBA had a dynasty team, and since O'Neal left the Lakers, no team has been as dominant, but the Celtics are starting to do that. No one was optimistic about them before, after Garnett announced that he would be out for the season, but now no one thinks that way anymore because they have found a better replacement, but the incredible thing is that he is doing better at the power forward position than at the small forward position! Not only did he score a quadruple-double, but for a period of time, he used his score to block the counterattack of Kobe Bryant, the NBA's most active scorer. However, this is not all he did in the game, and what is even more terrifying is that his defense directly caused the two main players of the Lakers to disappear from the court! Yes, Paul. Gasol and Lamar, the embodiment of tragedy. Odom, they scored 9 and 2 points! ”

"Who is the laziest person in the NBA? Barkley says it's not himself! Yes, I'll admit that I hate training and I hate eating and drinking, but I swear I'm playing as best I can every game...... I didn't get a single championship ring, I didn't know why, I thought it was Michael who was too strong, but I found my mistake today. Shi used his actions to tell all the dedicated people like me, 'You idiots, why don't you save your best for the finals!'" Look at his previous defense, look at what he's doing now, oh my God, that's the big gap across the Atlantic, even though that's enough for him to compete for the best defensive player! ”

Ross Barkley wasn't the only one to be interviewed by the media after the game, in fact, everyone who came to TD North Shore Gardens was asked questions from the media, including many active players, such as a fat man named O'Neal.

"Oh my God, that's incredible, I've never seen such a great performance, he's like God tonight, and I'm glad I got into the NBA a little earlier than him, and I'm glad I've gotten some accolades that a lot of people don't have. I never seem to have won the Sixth Man of the Year, though! ”

The dead fat man made such a shameless "confession", but he was in a hurry to break Kidd, who was traveling with him, and he didn't have a single bird feather on his hands! So isn't it just shameless...... "I'm thinking about joining the Celtics after this season, and yes, I think they need a point guard like me. Of course, Rondo did a great job, he was good, but he needed a break, didn't he? ”

Cao Cao Cao ......

This is by no means the whole content of the post-game report, if you collect it carefully, you can even write a million-word novel, but the author's description of this aspect ends here, because there is a "big event" in the Celts!

"Hello, Mr. Rivers!"

Pierce came to TD North Shore Gardens early, in fact he didn't sleep all night, he came here before five o'clock in the morning, and sat here all the time, doing nothing until Rivers arrived.

"Paul! You've been here? ”

Rivers looked at Pierce in surprise, and the sleepiness and exhaustion on his face couldn't be hidden, which made Rivers ask in surprise.

"Of course not! I came early, though. Before I knew it, I had been here for 12 years! ”

Pierce's tone was so sad that Rivers had to ask cautiously, "What's wrong with you, Paul!" ”

"Could it be that he was squeezed by the stone because of his right to sell?"

Rivers' mind was on the rise, as in the opening game of the Finals, Pierce once again scored 10 points as an embarrassing figure for a role player.

"I just lament that time always flies quickly, and it always catches people off guard!"

Pierce put his hand in the pocket of his jacket and lowered his head sadly as he spoke, his heels unconsciously rubbing the familiar floor, but he quickly raised his head again: "I want to talk to you about the team's tactics!" ”

"Is it because you have too little power?"

Rivers' heart thumped.

"No!"

Pierce smiled smackwardly, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly hesitated.

"So what do you want to say?"

Rivers asked eagerly if he didn't want anything to happen to the team at this time. However, all of this is not uncommon in the NBA, and disputes over ball possession, position, salary, etc., are always happening.

"I want to say..... Mr. Rivers, why don't you let me hit the sixth man! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Pierce suddenly felt a huge wave of sadness attack, it was so turbulent, and the sadness that enveloped him all night and all night overwhelmed him in an instant. He knew that from the moment he made this decision, his youth, his era, was completely over.

His eyes unconsciously moistened a little, it was nostalgia and sigh!

"But that's probably the best ending, isn't it?"

At the same time, in his heart, he told himself. He loves it as he loves himself!

"Paul!"

Rivers was really shocked this time, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Pierce shrugged: "No more than worrying, sir, I've thought very clearly, it's time to hand over the team to Stone, he can already take on the future of Celtic." Yes, I'm a little sad, but I'm also happy that this place is not in my hands! ”

The huge impact made Rivers silent for a long time, and it was not until Pierce said this that he opened his mouth to reassure: "You don't have to do this, Paul, no one asked you to make such a sacrifice, Ray found me last night, and he told me that he was willing to be the sixth man on the team." ”

When Shi Lei showed his dominance, the Celtics' period of change had arrived, and Pierce knew that Ray . . . Aaron also knows and Ray. Aaron's situation is even more dangerous than Pierce's, so Ray wants to find a "home". Aaron, very cleverly, told Rivers early that he didn't want anything!

Pierce is doing the same thing now, and they know better than anyone how cruel it is. Although Shi Lei didn't mind them staying here.

"But Shi needs an outside shooter like Ray, so let me do it, it's time for me to make a sacrifice!"
