298: He hit you? Then you should call it back! (4.9K Ticket)
Kevin. Garnett joined the Boston Celtics a little earlier than in the original history.
Like the first snow of 2002.
Because in this history, Kobe Bryant already has Yao Ming, so there is no need for a junior...... Well, it's not very hard.
Even if you want a helper, you need an outside helper.
Therefore, Garnett does not have to be entangled between the Lakers and the Celtics for too long.
That's probably why the deal came before it happened.
When the general manager and owners of the Eastern team, especially Cavaliers owner Gilbert, saw the deal.
At that time, he had one word in his heart - doubting life.
Danny. What did Angie tell him before?
Together, they boycott multi-star teams and counter contract inequality caused by super-rookies.
There is also a balance and a fair alliance. Let the small team also make money, and have the championship to win.
So, together with Angie, he took the lead and submitted the super-rookie clause, which is now the Wayne clause that has begun to be enforced.
Then he turned his head and announced that the Green Shirts had achieved the "Big Three Gathering" and opened the era of championship competition!
Gilbert:???
I may be poor, but you're a real dog!
When I coaxed, I said that I was your little sweetie, and you have to help me pick the moon.
As a result, I sneaked up a triumvirate to come out!
Gilbert was confused, he felt that he was being used by Angeli.
What Angie wants has never been balanced, he wants to restrain other teams, and only let the Celtics go crazy to make reinforcements.
The Big Three, this lineup in 2007, is still very shocking.
Although Pierce is 30 years old and Garnett is 31 years old, Ray is 31 years old. At 32 years old, all three men are past their prime years and are starting to enter the latter stages of their careers.
But it's still terrifying!
These three are still the league's biggest stars.
Thunder. Allen still averaged 26.4 points per game last season, averaging the top 10 points per game in the league.
Pierce averaged 25 points per game last season, and the Celtics could have made the playoffs if neither Tony nor he were injured.
Kevin. Garnett, who averaged 22.4 points and 12.8 rebounds per game last season, is a former MVP player, the league's top No. 4 position, and the best man in the NBA league in space dancing.
Forehead...... Well, this point can be ignored.
In short, these three people are very strong stars when they come out alone.
Even after his golden age, he can be regarded as a first-line star.
This Big Three is not the same as the Lakers F4 back then, Lakers F4 In addition to Kobe and Shaq, the other two are actually no longer the heroes of the year, and they are no longer the league's first-line superstars.
But the Celtic Big Three, they can all fight.
This lineup is tingling just thinking about it.
The general managers of all Eastern teams were frightened by the Celtics' operation.
Although the Celtics almost dismantled half of the team for the sake of Garnett.
Gomez, Al. Jefferson, Nine Fingers Green, Ratliffe, Telfair and a 2009 first-round pick, five people with a first-round pick, just for Garnett!
Moreover, the Timberwolves also received some cash for it.
But for a gambler like Angie, even if it is half a team to trade a star, it is worth it.
Larry. Bird wasn't surprised by this, as Angie and McHale had always had an unusual relationship.
If Garnett hadn't vetoed trades, he might have been a Green Shirt last season.
It's just that Bird didn't expect that for the sake of Garnett, this thing was stunned to get Ray in advance. Alan.
It's very cleverly laid out.
It must be admitted that Angie is indeed capable.
But his crazy stabbing behavior this summer must have annoyed many people.
What Bird has to do is to fan the flames like Angie did when he pushed Wayne Terms!
So, at the press conference on the day of taking office, Big Beep began YYGQ.
"What do you think of the Celtic lineup? There's nothing to look at, I just care about my team.
Danny. Angie is a very capable general manager, and he is the only one in the league who can pull off such a deal.
Only he can do anything for the sake of trading. ”
Bird's words translate to - he is the only one who cheats people for the sake of the fair.
Well, last time because he didn't have a doorknob to speak, Bird has only been idle at home for a few years.
So back again, Bird spoke more cautiously than before.
Bird came back this time, and he didn't want to go again.
He hopes to stay with the Pacers until he can't do it himself.
If there was anyone in this coalition who still took the word loyalty seriously, Byrd was definitely one of them.
When he received a call from the Simon brothers, Bird didn't even think about it and returned.
Bird loves his hometown team immensely.
During this period, it was not without other teams asking Bird to go out of the mountain, but Bird did not go, he was just waiting for a chance to come back.
After all, Bird had tried the feeling of a hot face on a cold ass.
After retiring as a player, Bird landed a position in Celtic management, where he was tasked with assessing the ability and performance of players.
Well, to put it bluntly, it's an idle job, nothing, just to give Bird, a Celtic legend, a title with little real power.
A few years later, Celtic has hit the back burner.
Bird wants to be able to secure a key position in management or on the coaching staff.
He wanted to go on the battlefield and continue to help the team, instead of playing golf every day.
But the Cardinal Master finally chose Rick, the famous university coach at the time. As the head coach, Pitino also trusts Ange more in terms of management selection.
Bird and Angie didn't deal with each other, and when Auerbach messed with him again, Bird returned to his hometown in a fit of anger.
As we all know, Bird has done a very good job as head coach of the Pacers.
At least it was much better than Pitino, which was a slap in the face to the Celtics.
Since then, there has been no going back, and Bird and Celtic have broken completely.
After Bird retired, he never said he was a Celtic.
Since retiring, he has never been to see a single Celtics game live.
He threw himself into his hometown team as if he had nothing to do with the Celtics.
Home, sure enough, is warmer than outside.
Therefore, he is also willing to do his best for his hometown team.
Because here, he found his worth.
This time, Bird won't leave easily.
It's okay if Walsh is gone, and now this team is Bird alone!
Although Bird is now more careful in his words, it doesn't mean that he is not lethal.
Big Beep is still the same Big Beep, and after he satirized a wave of Angie at a press conference, the general managers of the Eastern team all developed a great disgust with Angie.
Angie almost didn't vomit blood, and Bird just came up, so he was crazy about doing things!
It's shameless!
I'm a liar, but I'm doing it for the sake of the team!
Bird's this is purely to engage the opponent, thankless, simply disgusting!
Bird: Everywhere, each other, they are all brothers in the same school, and if you say that, you will see the outside.
In any case, the Celtic triumvirate was successfully formed.
Now, Angie can watch the team revive under his magical operation with peace of mind.
The day after the Big Three merged, a reporter interviewed Wayne by phone, asking him what he thought of the lineup and whether the Celtics would be a championship contender.
As a result, Wayne didn't give the Celtics face at all.
"Well, the Green Shirts have a good squad and they should have no problem winning a title.
Oh, and I'm talking about the champion is the Eastern Conference champion.
Wait a minute? No one really thinks they can win the championship, does they?
So far, the only championship contenders have been the Trail Blazers and Lakers. ”
Wayne is not afraid of offending Boston fans and Angie, Boston fans are annoying, and 90% of the players in the league hate Boston fans.
Wayne has been playing away from Boston in recent years, and he has been sprayed by fans there.
And Angie, what is there to be polite to him?
It was his hand that made the first move.
If it weren't for him, the Wayne Clause might not have existed.
Wayne's words almost scared the reporter to death, the Celtics' lineup is like this, and Wayne is still so calm!
Wayne: What is this, have you ever seen three top 10 people in the league team up? Have you ever seen four star players in their prime team up?
It's all a small scene!
Wayne hung up the reporter and shook his head.
The Celtic triumvirate in this history is afraid that it will not be so easy to succeed.
At this time, Wayne was in Las Vegas, just getting off the plane.
Now I am preparing to take the bus to the basketball stadium where the Chinese team's training camp is located.
That's right, the Chinese team training camp.
This year, in order to prepare for the 08 Olympics, the Chinese team participated in the 2007 Las Vegas Summer League!
Of course, Yao Ming and Wayne didn't need to participate.
One is the best center in the league and the other is last season's MVP Grand Slam winner......
Summer League has to ask them to play, and it's too cheap.
Moreover, when they come, they will not be able to train other people.
Although Wayne didn't use it to participate in the competition, he also promised Yao Ming to help supervise the battle.
"If there's anything wrong, you just talk to them and let them know how to play against the top players. You're a big brother now. ”
These are the exact words that Yao Ming told Wayne.
Don't ask Yao Ming why he didn't come, he just needs to recuperate.
Wayne is also obliged, and to be honest, Wayne is very much looking forward to next year's Olympics.
In Wayne's previous life, he was really impressed by the 08 Olympics.
Not afraid of the dream team, shopping for German veteran drivers, forcing Spain into extra time......
If you think about it, it's a classic battle.
That year's Olympics really played the bloody nature of Chinese basketball.
And then, like a lot of people.
I thought it was the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be the peak......
After 08, the Chinese team did not win even a single game in the Olympics.
After that, good guys, the Chinese team may not even be able to enter the Olympics.
Ahem, it's far away.
In short, Wayne very much hopes to create greater brilliance at home!
Not to mention winning the championship, at least create the best ranking.
So, Wayne ended up in Las Vegas.
This overseer must be done well!
When Wayne appeared in the training gym, everyone suddenly stopped.
The first person to rush up and greet Wayne was not Sun Yue or Yi Jianlian, but Zhu Ba!
"Wei, long time no see! In this year's playoffs, you give Raga. Bell: That's really exciting! ”
The corners of Wayne's mouth, who was originally smiling, twitched instantly......
Brother Pig, I'm already good.
Don't look at me with the same old eyes!
"Wei, thank you for coming! In the Summer League, if you can have your guidance, you will definitely get a lot of progress! ”
Younas also came up at this point and patted Wayne's arm.
"I was part of the team, I should have come."
Wayne said, walked to the training ground, and glanced at Sun Yue.
"Are you ready to play in the NBA?"
"Of course! Belch...... Actually, no. Sun Yue shrugged with a grin.
Wayne nodded, not saying anything more.
After that, training began, and Wayne also talked to Younas on the sidelines.
"You chose Sun this summer." Younas asked.
"Yes, but I don't really want to choose, there are market factors in it. Next season, he won't necessarily be able to play.
But you don't have to worry, even if he doesn't play in the NBA, he'll play a full season in the Development League.
By the summer of '08, he should be in great shape. Wayne admitted.
"He is very talented, but he plays point guard at 2.05 meters, and there is no player like this in the history of the Chinese team."
"But he's been smiling since training and I don't know what he's laughing at."
"Sun ...... He always had a hippie smile and didn't seem to be so hungry for victory. ”
"It's okay, when the summer league officially starts, he won't be able to laugh."
In the next few days of training, although Wayne would watch the game from the sidelines, he would not say anything more except for occasionally exchanging martial arts experience with Zhu Ba, and occasionally chatting with Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi.
He knew it wasn't time yet.
Until July 7, the first game of the Las Vegas Summer League.
China VS Memphis Grizzlies.
Although it is a summer league team, the Grizzlies are very strong.
Second-year brother gay and first-year Conley are both in the lineup.
The others, although Wayne didn't know him, Wayne knew more about Summer League than everyone else.
That group of people doesn't care if you're a member of the Chinese national team, or whether you're the No. 5 show or the second round show.
They're here for one thing – to win the contract!
Even if I knock you to the ground, even if I beat you to the ground, I don't hesitate to beat you to the ground!
So, just three minutes after the start of the game, Sun Yue was elbowed.
"Foul! What kind of action is this!? Sun Yue stood up and yelled at the referee.
He may feel that he has been playing in the ABA in the United States all year round and should adapt to summer league quickly.
Well, he couldn't have been more wrong.
ABA this thing...... It's far worse than the summer league.
Last season, for example, after the start of the ABA 06-07 season, seven teams disbanded or withdrew from the league within six weeks of the start of the league, and six teams left in January of the following year.
Some teams have completed the game by calling up players from the home team's home team to form a new team when playing away, while others have refused to play away altogether.
Three teams that qualified for the playoffs did not play.
That's ABA.
The organization of this event, it is said that the professional league has lifted it.
There's no comparison to the experience of summer league.
"Don't complain, you should get it back in the next round instead of complaining to the referee.
If he beats you, then you can just call back!
You can take him down too, 10 fouls in Summer League anyway.
This is the NBA, Sun Yue. Some of them are second-round picks like you, some are even draft-losers, and most of them are just student players who haven't played a single professional league game.
You can't mess with them, can you? At this time, Wayne stood up and shouted at Sun Yue.
"And the UAE, be tough on the inside, you let him get the position too easily. Don't be afraid of confrontation, you are obviously no worse than them.
I know you've been building up your strength and gaining weight over the past two months.
So what are you afraid of?
If you hurt, he will hurt too.
Do you want to win? But here, if you don't fight to the death, it's impossible to win.
If you want to be embarrassed here in the national jersey, then I didn't say it. ”
With that, Wayne sat back on the bench.
If the coach or someone else says that to the players, the players may just not take it seriously.
Cut, you haven't really played in the NBA, you have no idea what our opponents are like.
But Wayne, he's the NBA's MVP player!
He can pat his chest and say, "I know the NBA better than any of you, so you just play as I say!" ”
Wayne's persuasiveness is very great.
Although Sun Yue was still a little unwilling on his face, he did shut up and stopped smiling.
Yi Jianlian also nodded silently.
The game restarted and Conley broke through with the ball.
He faced Chen Jianghua, in Peyton's words: Crossing you is like crossing the road in the early morning.
Conley broke through and burst into the box for a layup.
Conley fell to the sixth pick in this year's draft, and he was very unconvinced.
So facing the fifth pick of the United Arab Emirates today, Conley played very excitedly.
Just when he thought he would score as easily as he had done the previous few times, Yi Jianlian suddenly came out and fanned Conley with the ball!
After landing, he also gave Conley a fierce look.
Although he didn't yell, he was already a little mature in the United Arab Emirates.
"Haha, the effect is immediate, Wayne, he's like an NBA No. 5 rookie."
Wayne smiled and nodded, sometimes, it's just a little bloody that people will be afraid of you.
Although it is only a training match, it is also necessary to win, and it is also necessary to have an attitude.
Put away your damn humility!
Learn? Learn to be a fart!
You're here to win!
Younas could feel that Wayne had brought something different to this team.
He and Yao Ming, if one represents the calm of the Chinese team, then the other represents the wildness of the Chinese team.
One is water and the other is fire.
Now, he's starting to look forward to what this team looked like in '08.
Wayne continued to stare at the court, looking at the UAE and Sun Yue.
It seems that next month's training camp will have to train them well.
