For the sake of the Celtics, Pierce paid a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the 1998 draft, the Celtics, who held the No. 10 pick in the first round, selected Paul Brown from the University of Kansas. Pierce, then Green Army coach Piertino shouted "We've got the treasure".

Pierce's rookie season was famously shortened, as he played in 48 games and averaged 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, both of which ranked second in scoring rebounds that year.

On February 5, 1999, Pierce made his NBA debut against the Toronto Raptors, where Pierce scored 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. He was named to the 1998-99 Rookie of the Year team, won the title of "Best Rookie" in February 1999, and was selected to the first team of the best rookie team.

In the 1999-2000 season, Pierce ranked second in the NBA in steals per game (2.08).

In the 2000-01 season, Pierce was the only full-time player on the team!

In the 2001-02 season, he scored 2,144 points, ranking first in the league and the first Celtics player to lead the league in total points in a season. And Pierce finally led the team to a 49-win record and finished third in the East. Facing the 76ers in the first round, he scored a career-high playoff score of 46 points in Game 6 to help the team win and reach the Eastern Conference Finals in one fell swoop!

In 2002-03, the Nets swept 4-0 in the playoffs, and in 2003-04, they scored 10,000 points in just 436 games, setting an NBA record at the time, averaging 23 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

The 2007-08 season was undoubtedly a nightmare for Pierce and the Green Army hierarchy. They were 24-58 that year and finished bottom of the East. Because of Pierce's absence, the old school powerhouse of the former league had an embarrassing record of 18 consecutive defeats.

On January 31, 2007, the Celtics, who had lost 12 in a row, hosted the Lakers, and as a result, Kobe Bryant scored 43 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in that game, which made the Green Army fans collectively defect. At the end of the season, he and his agent, as well as the team's owner Grussbeck and general manager Danny Brown. Angie attended an internal meeting together. At the meeting, Pierce suggested that the team trade itself for long-term development.

This season, he finally waited for a helper, but the price of the team's success was that he and they gave up their respective statistics, so in this season, they didn't get anything, but he wanted to leave something, wanted to leave something for the team that had fought for himself throughout his prime.

He's not young anymore, he can't wait too long!

"Shi, I know it's very important to you, but it's also very important to me, so I won't give up!"

Before the start of the game, Pierce found Shi Lei.

In the past few days, Pierce has been thinking about this matter, he knows what it means to Shi Lei, and even if he misses it, he will miss it forever, but he still doesn't want to give up, yes, he doesn't want to give up, he doesn't want to leave any honor about himself in the team after he retires. Just as a person dies and leaves behind a stone monument, he is also afraid of being forgotten!

He has always regarded Shi Lei as his substitute, the inheritor, he has thought about giving up and wanting to fulfill the other party, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't let himself resist the temptation of honor!

It's a great temptation!

Pierce looked at Shi Lei seriously, and Shi Lei looked at Pierce in amazement!

Shi Lei hasn't had time to think about this problem in the past few days, and all his energy has been spent on overcoming the praise of the outside world and planning for his future life.

Shi Lei groaned, this is a huge temptation!

Pierce was very apprehensive in his heart, he didn't want to have a dispute, he didn't want to destroy the good atmosphere of the team, so he chose to be honest with Shi Lei and tell each other openly that they were competitors from now on!

He hoped to get Shi Lei's understanding and understanding.

He knew what this meant to Shi Lei, and his honesty was very likely to end in embarrassment, but he still planned to try, at least, to keep himself from breaking with Shi Lei!

It's like this FMVP scramble, there will be one person who succeeds and one person who fails, and there must be a loser in their breakup, and that loser will only be Pierce himself!

Pierce knows that when they break up, when he leaves the team he loves so much, he doesn't want to leave, the team is not yet ready to rebuild, but if he really has to choose, he still chooses to leave something in the team.

Shi Lei's face was cloudy, and he fell into a deep hesitation, FMVP is not only an honor, for him, it is still experience, and it is still the fifth template!

But can he make Pierce wait until next season?

He can't guarantee it, and he can't make a guarantee, but can he give it up?

"I know it's a difficult thing, we're teammates, we're good brothers, but now we're going to be rivals, but, Shi, I want that whoever wins in the end, we will congratulate each other, not hate, what do you think?"

Shi Lei was still groaning, Pierce waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Shi Lei's positive answer, he sighed in disappointment, and slowly turned around to leave.

"Paul's hope is not great, even if it is fair play, I will most likely be the final victor, or just agree to him?"

Shi Lei's uncertain expression suddenly regained his composure, he let out a long breath, and called out to Pierce, who was about to leave: "Hey, Paul." ”

It's a difficult choice, but what is success? Shi Lei's heart suddenly thought of a possibility at this time - "record...... But that's not all! ”

The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed by Shi Lei again.

"Hey, Paul!" Shi Lei opened his mouth and smiled easily, but his eyes were unusually bright, as if something had been ignited.

That's ambition!

"Now the team is yours, so I'll help you, but, man, in the future, help me!"

Pierce also cracked his mouth and smiled, but he smiled and shook his head: "We just need to compete, and we won't have mustard competition!" ”

"But you have to admit it, you don't stand a good chance of winning!"

"Okay, boy, I'll help you in the future!"

With a "snap", the two big hands converged loudly! (To be continued.) )
