Boston, North Shore Garden Arena.

Where the league has the most championship flags, there are countless superstars who have grown up here! (The Lakers also have a lot of superstars, but they make more money from other people's homes, and the Celtics chose to raise them themselves)

In recent years, the Celtics have been full of scenery and seem to have regained the feeling of dominating the league back then.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are already in the sun.

In fact, when the Celtic triumvirate was formed in '08, they were aiming to form a dynasty.

In the first year, they lived up to their expectations and managed to win the championship, but then it seemed that luck was not on their side.

First, Garnett was seriously injured in 09, and after the injury, he lost his strongest bounce and speed, and his threat plummeted (in the 08 Finals, Garnett also bullied Gasol, but after 10 years, it didn't work) That year, the Celtics unfortunately lost to the Magic and did not make it to the Finals.

Then last season, at the critical moment of the Finals, the Celtics injured the strongest meat shield Perkins, and the Lakers seized the opportunity to turn the tables and miss the championship again.

If it weren't for these two damn injuries, the Celtics would have achieved 3 consecutive championships again! (Especially Garnett, who was injured and hit too hard)

This year, the Celtics' roster doesn't look like much has changed, but in fact, they are almost overwhelmed.

The departure of Tony Allen, the core of the outside defense, the man responsible for dealing with Kobe Bryant in the Lake-Kai battle, left the Celtics for the Grizzlies, which made the Celtics' outside defense drop several notches in an instant.

Although they signed former Rockets bench gangster "Weaver" Weaver, and there are Daniels, Delonte West, Nate Robinson and other good outside players on the bench, there is no one who can replace the role of Tony Allen.

Not to mention that starting point guard Ray Allen is 35 years old this year, and it is unknown how much form he still has.

Moreover, in the summer, although they brought in O'Neal and O'Neal, they continued to increase their interior strength. But the problem is that both of them are also old, and both of them, plus Garnett, are already 105 years old! If these three people add up to the range of 80-90 years old, then there is no one to say "Celtics championship", but now this "100-year-old" combination, no one knows how much energy they have.

Pierce is also old, Perkins and Davis are embarrassed to use the two meat shields, and the Celtics' current lineup looks luxurious on the surface, but in fact, it is already a big tail.

Now there is only one Rondo, the youngest and most potential of the starters, he just won the "steal king" last season, he is no longer the little brother who ran errands behind the "Big Three", just like the "Fourth Giant"!

So, for the first home of the year, the atmosphere at North Shore Gardens is naturally lively!

"Towards the declining aristocracy."

In the away team's locker room, Han Miao shook his head while looking at the opponent's list, 08 In order to form the Big Three, it is true that the Celtics have overdrawn a lot of future, if they win three consecutive championships, it will not be a loss, but there is only one championship and there is no successor at present, which makes the Celtics a little more than they lose.

However, Han Miao knew that this time it was better, although the Celtics had been silent for a few years, they quickly rose up again, unlike before the 08 group of the Big Three, the Celtics had been dark for more than ten years......

"But I feel that it is not easy to win, especially the inner line, three big fat men over 125kg! Hassan is going to be out of luck. ”

Hayward was also watching from the sidelines, to be honest, if it weren't for Han Miao, Hayward and coach Stevens would be Celtics in the future, and Hayward would still wear Ray Allen's "20" jersey.

Therefore, Han Miao suddenly felt that he seemed to have dug into the corner of the future revival of the Celtics, I don't know if in this way, can the Celts be revived in this life like in the future?

"It's okay, Shaq is old, Kendrick and Glenn don't have much offensive ability, don't be cowardly!"

Iguodala, as a veteran, naturally wanted to come out to encourage newcomers at this time, but because Han Miao was too demonic, it would be good if this guy didn't hit others, and Hayward was relatively old and stable, so Iguodala could only encourage Whiteside, who looked like he was stunned.

"I ...... I try. ”

Whiteside is indeed a little nervous, but this is not to blame him, after all, the first game of his career will face the inside line composed of O'Neal and Garnett, even if they are old, but the aftermath is still there, but anyone with a little brain will be nervous.

In fact, today is not very good for the three rookies of the 76ers, Whiteside is facing a big guy, and so is Hayward, Pierce, the Finals FMVP, and the offensive kaleidoscope is not in vain.

As for Han Miao, he is facing Rondo, who is at his peak, so his pressure is greater than anyone else's!

Before the game, some media said that if in the face of Rondo, Han Miao's assists can reach double digits, it means that he is indeed very good at assisting!

But how can it be so easy, steal Wang Rondo, his steal badge "steal master" is at the gold level, and Han Miao's ball control will be at the same level, so that Han Miao's ball control and ball protection have no advantage in front of Rondo, if you are not careful, it is normal to be stealed.

"Come here, our pressure today is not small, don't underestimate them just because the people on the other side are old."

Stevens beckoned everyone to come over, because among the tactics he assigned to the team, the main tactic was the fast-break counterattack from the Celtics in the ancient era of the NBA, so Stevens had a special affection for the Celtics.

"Pay attention to the defense, especially Ray Allen's three-pointers, when they attack, they are not fast, we play more fast breaks, and try to consume their physical strength as much as possible."

"In the fight for inside rebounds, although there are a lot of big guys on the other side, Elton your experience is no worse than theirs, you have to help Hassan."

"Remember, don't shoot randomly, listen to Han's command after you get on the court, and try to play a little more steady."

Stevens was also more conservative because he was also the first to command the game.

"Understood!"

However, the 76ers have no objection to the new coach's order, and they did just that when they were training inside.

"Get on the field!"

Stevens took the lead and led his new disciples to the ring.

The home team Celtics were already warming up there, so when the 76ers came out, the North Shore Garden crowd booed as usual.

"Tsk, it's the devil's home field."

Stepping on the floor of the North Shore Garden Arena for the first time, looking at the championship flags and retired jerseys above the arena is a great deterrent for rookies.

What is a wealthy family, this is a wealthy family! Look at the championship flags of other people, there are actually eight consecutive numbers in it!

"Hey, rookie, welcome to the NBA, how's it going, do we have a lot of championships? Are you envious? ”

Just as Han Miao was looking at the championship banner of the Celtics, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him and said to him what every rookie in the NBA has to go through.

Well? Han Miao looked down, bald head, about 185 tall, thin body, but his eyes were big and round, and a little protruding, a pair of arms were very long, almost reaching the legendary "hands over knees" feeling, and the palms were also very large, and the basketball was like a toy in his hands.

In short, the person in front of him is full of all kinds of disharmony, if you know that God created it, then when he was making him, God must have lacked materials around him, so he made such a strange product.

Rajon Rondo, it's a miracle that you can live so big!

However, for Rondo's greetings, Han Miao still had to respond "politely":

"Hello, ET the Extraterrestrial."
