Chapter 477: Our Leader
"Will the Celtics remember me?"
"Yes, they will never forget!"
Rivers and Pierce's conversation ended here, Rivers stood in place for a long time, looking at Pierce's lonely and majestic figure, and a complex emotion suddenly lingered in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info is sentimental, there is relief, and Rivers can't tell what his heart contains at this time, but there is a feeling that he is extremely sure of.
"Who can stop us!"
For the rest of the games, Rivers suddenly felt more confident than ever. Yes, he's leading a team, a great team of several great guys!
The media coverage of the finals is still very hot, and as the game approaches, in addition to praising and criticizing the players, they have begun to add a lot of speculation to their respective reports. The Celtics are unanimously favored to defend their title this season, but the Los Angeles supporters have not given up yet, and although they are small, they are still making their voices heard.
Arguments happen all the time, in the press, on TV, on the Internet, until the game is about to start, and they are still entangled.
"The Celtics are going to be a dynasty team!"
"The Purple and Gold have only lost one game, they just need to find the defense to win, it's not difficult!"
"The second point difference in the history of the finals, it was just a win or a defeat, and that doesn't make or break everything!"
"Kobe Bryant will never lead the team to a championship ring alone, and his selfishness will get him nothing!"
"Kobe Bryant is bound to fail because they have met the strongest Celtics, and their leader!"
"If the Celts don't have turmoil, they will conquer all their opponents in the future!"
These voices have also been brought to the players on both sides, of course, not everyone is qualified to speak at this time, and Kobe Bryant is the only speaker for the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant is still arrogant, he is like a sword out of the sheath, and he seems to be impatient: "I long for this game, I have never wanted it before, yes, I am extremely excited, it makes me restless, because I have met the strongest opponents in my career, as long as I defeat them, no one can deny me, deny the great Bryant!" ā
Kobe Bryant's sonorous pre-game declaration was brought to Shi Lei by the media along with those remarks.
No one is more qualified to give a-for-tat answer to Kobe Bryant right now, and that's what the media thinks.
"He probably hasn't woken up yet!"
Shi Lei didn't seem to want to waste too much of his tongue, so he only said this in the face of the interview, but this was enough. Yes, it's a powerful answer, worth a thousand words of chatter!
"He's so imposing!"
The female reporter of the Boston Daily News looked at Shi Lei's back intoxicated, and she felt that she was becoming more and more unable to extricate herself.
The interview made Shi Lei waste some time, although his words were very brief, but the barrier through those crazy people still made Shi Lei the last person to reach the locker room.
The Celtics' locker room was very lively, but not impetuous, they talked loudly, and everyone shouted in a full voice: "We will still make the Lakers lose face tonight!" ā
Until the arrival of Rivers.
In front of the players who had quieted down, Rivers did one last thing before his players came out on the pitch and announced the starting line-up for today's game. No one cares about those, everyone knows who they will be!
But soon, it became quiet.
People looked at each other as if to ask, "Did I hear me wrong?" ā
"I announce the starting lineup for this game, point guard Rajan. Rondo, shooting guard Ray. Allen, power forward Shi Lei, center Kendrick. Perkins, small forward...... Tony. Alan! ā
But Rivers's words were not long, and it was clear that the aftermath of their ears had not dissipated.
The atmosphere was weird.
Shi Lei looked at Rivers blankly and looked at Pierce, but Pierce's actions quickly reassured him.
Pierce patted Shi Lei on the shoulder: "Brother, you lead the team alone tonight, don't let the laughter in the garden of TD North Shore disappear!" ā
What else can Shi Lei say?
"I can only promise to make the Angelenos cry out of here!"
"That's not bad either! So aren't you going to say anything? ā
"Okay, I've learned a lot of skills around you, and I think of when they come to use!"
Shi Lei spoke and stood up from the crowd.
His eyes grew more aggressive, and he swept over everyone, lingering on their faces for a few seconds before opening his mouth.
"There's a great guy who chose to sit on the bench to make the game a little easier, so guys, what should we tell him?"
"Victory!"
.......
Shi Lei finally became a qualified religious demagogue, he had been imitating Duncan, imitating Garnett, imitating Pierce, and now, all of this has finally come into play. In fact, at this time, there is no need for the core of the team to say anything, everyone knows what to do, for the sake of the team and for themselves.
"Never underestimate the heart of a champion!"
The music in the stadium gradually became impassioned, and the cheers of the fans became clear and audible under the mobilization of the stadium DJ. Everyone is making final preparations.
"The players are already standing in the tunnel and ready to play, I don't know what tactical adjustments the Lakers will make in this game, and how will they defend Shi Lei's basket offense?"
Director Zhang looked at the Lakers' starting lineup intently, Shi Lei has now become a rafter who has come out, and Director Zhang very much wants to know what method the Lakers will use to deal with him, although it will not help.
"Oh my God, I've revisited the great Lamar. Odom! ā
Barkley was already overwhelmed with excitement, and in fact he was not at all surprised. The "triangle attack" needs three corners, but among them, there is destined to be one person who will be abandoned by Shi Lei's defense. Jackson can only make the tactical changes more varied.
"Charles, you don't need to make such a fuss, it's actually normal, Phil. Mr. Jackson must have made all the preparations. ā
Phil. Jackson was really prepared, and he was confident that Odom wouldn't continue to get lost, or that Gasol would play his part, and he had already figured out the way in the last game, but it was a little late.
"Okay, the Celtic players are starting to play, and the first one to play is Shi ....... It's Ray. Alan! ā
The light on the stadium disappeared, the music became like a beating heart, and people became more excited, but when they excitedly held up Shi Lei's posters and comic avatars, wearing Shi Lei's jersey, and cheered loudly, they were embarrassed to find that they welcomed the wrong person.
Thunder. Aaron stood in the only light, he didn't seem to mind, he was still doing his appearance ceremony seriously.
Soon, this prompted the fans to correct their mistakes.
"The second one to come out is Perkins!"
Director Zhang's voice carried some disbelief, and the live broadcast camera of CCTV5 also turned to the home bench, trying to find Shi Lei's figure from the darkness.
"What the hell is going on?"
This suspicion made the atmosphere in the CCTV5 live broadcast room a little solemn. The victory in the last game gave Celtic no reason to adjust the team's lineup, so is it ..... What happened to Shi Lei?
"Why don't you see my big stone god?"
"Could it be that the stone has encountered the unspoken rules of the ghosts?"
"Infighting? Stones hidden in the snow? It doesn't make sense, aren't the Celts very united? ā
"Solidarity? Du Tama is an actor, and the stone must have been sacrificed, Ma Dan! ā
"The third one to come out is Rondo!"
"Grass damned, stones don't appear, the Celts self-destruct the Great Wall!"
"It won't hurt, will it?"
"! Death to the crow's mouth! ā
"The fourth one to come out is ..... Tony. Alan! ā
Director Zhang was extremely uneasy in his heart, he had nothing to do with Shi Lei, they had even met only a few times, but he loved basketball, so he didn't want to see any accidents happen in the future of domestic basketball.
"Oh my God! Did the Celtics put their king back on the bench? ā
Barkley let out a strange scream.
Larry. Bird's brows were also tightly wrinkled, and the atmosphere in the garden of TD's North Shore gradually became solemn, and the fans began to be restless, which made Tony, who only had a few starts. Aaron, even more nervous and uneasy.
"Shady! Shady! From then on, the pink turned black, and the Celts died! ā
"Give me back the Great Stone God!"
"Anyway, will the stone finale appear!"
ā666ļ¼ā
"!"
"Last to play was ......"
The sound of the instruments in the music became irritable, and the DJ burst out at his maximum volume, which finally quieted the fans at the scene, but the doubts in their hearts were about to solidify into a dark cloud over Boston.
Phil. Jackson also looked intently at the players' tunnel, he was the most nervous person right now.
A figure slowly emerged from the dark tunnel of the players.
"Our King! The strongest bulwark of the Celtics! Great Four Pairs Miracle Worker! NBA assist record holder, Finals block record holder, steal record holder, owner of TD North Shore Gardens! Our Young Leader - Shi ...... Great! ā
"Oh my!"
Barkley covered his mouth like a seductively.
Kenny. Smith's mouth was wide open.
"It's Shi Lei, and the last one to appear is Shi Lei!"
Director Zhang has become drunk, and an abnormal flush has appeared on his entire skin, and his voice has become extremely high-pitched!
"!"
This comment is the starting point, and the barrage on the Internet finally exploded like a flash flood.
"Scatter flowers to celebrate the enthronement of stones!"
"The love of the Green Army in this life!"
"The little heart is pounding, but it's old and exciting!"
"I saw Uncle Pi!"
Shi Lei stood in the middle of the court, listening to the tsunami cheers here, when he finished his last appearance, the lights in the stadium suddenly turned on, and people finally saw Pierce at this time, he was standing on the edge of the players' box, still wearing neat game equipment.
Larry. Bird finally put his mind at ease, he was worried about Shi Lei's injury before, and then he was worried about Pierce's injury, and now he finally stopped worrying.
"Pierce didn't even start!"
"Yes, it looks like he's going to be the team's sixth man!"
"Oh, what a pathetic Paul is!"
It's the Barkley and Smith duo, and they're bystanders who have nothing to do with it, so they're interested in talking about it here.
Larry. Bird had no such thoughts, and all his emotions were haunted by a strange feeling. He finally witnessed the change of the old and the new in the team again, but none of them were so sad and gratifying as they are now.
'It was a great moment and I think it's going to be a great game with a great leader for Celtic who made a great decision before this game. Yes, great, Paul will be one of the great leaders of this team! ā
Yes, Paul's greatest choice, it was sad, but it was a great fight, wasn't it? It is undeniable that the offensive ability of the Celtics starting lineup is overflowing, and the bench lacks offensive players, Paul's decision just makes up for the team's only shortcoming! Now the Celts have never been more perfect! ā
Bill. Wharton finally opened his mouth, which had been closed before.
Phil. Jackson watched all this dumbly, and a sense of irony suddenly rose in his heart, he felt absurd, he made all the preparations, but all these preparations fell through again!
Phil. Jackson felt his powerlessness, in this world, the most difficult to guess is the human heart, the most difficult to defeat, is also the human heart, when he faced the opponent, willing to pay any sacrifice for victory, he suddenly could no longer find a reason for them not to lose!
Kobe Bryant was greatly impacted, this was a game that subverted his concept of life, especially when he saw Shi Lei, who had completed the appearance ceremony, hugged Pierce tightly on the sidelines! He understood that at this point, no one could force Pierce to sit on the bench, only he wanted to. But how could he have made such a decision?
The whistling of the stadium was even more exciting, as if they had already won the championship! No! That's more important than the championship!
"It's going to be a legendary game, I don't care about the process anymore, I don't care about the result anymore, yes, I will always remember this game and I'm sure many people will be like me because I witnessed a great team leader!"
