Chapter 282: The Battle of Boston
The Cavaliers currently sit first in the league like the Celtics, and the Heat are 8-1 in the East, with the Heat losing to the revenge-bent Celtics in Game 5 of the season.
The Cavaliers' next opponent is the Celtics, who have won 9 consecutive games, and the two teams are the only teams that have not lost so far, and the lineups of the two sides have been changed many times, which is also a topic worth paying attention to.
The Cavaliers, who have won eight in a row, are strolling the streets of Boston, where they are the center of attention, and of course, few are good-natured.
Garnett and O'Neal attracted the attention of most people, these two people were an indispensable part of the Celtics lineup last year, and Garnett, who has been fighting for the Celtics since 08, and until now, the Celtics' top management has not given a reason for Garnett to leave to calm down.
So when they saw Garnett on the street, many fans unconsciously got up and looked at this player who was no longer on their own team at this time, and had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Once brought the Celtics countless honors, once shouldered the responsibility of offense and defense in the playoffs, once, once, Garnett brought countless honors to the Celtics, but in exchange, it was indeed an old trade.
According to Garnett's habits, this game is not supposed to be participated, but this game is a close game after all, and even if Garnett is present, the Cavaliers are not 100% sure of victory.
"Huang Xiang, do you think they're looking at me?" Jones looked at the many people around him and got up to look at their team, stabbed Huang Xiang with a smile, and asked with a stinky fart.
"Well, yes, that's right, it's just looking at you, looking at why you look like a person." Listening to Jones's words, Williams said with disdain, these two guys are forever immersed in bickering and sarcasm with each other.
Under the watchful eyes of the roadside fans, the Cavaliers will stroll down the street, and in twenty minutes the crowd will slowly and leisurely come to Garnett's villa, which has not been cared for at this time, so it is still Garnett's.
Huang Xiang has been here many times, so compared to others, he is still familiar with Garnett's villa.
The garden-style design is still so beautiful because it is taken care of every day, in Garnett's words, it must be neatly bleached and bright, otherwise how can it be sold?
"Hahahaha, hahahaha" Xing Ye's cry suddenly remembered when everyone was relaxing, to be honest, although these foreigners had heard Huang Xiang's bell more than once, they would tremble every time.
"Hey! Damn, it's you kid. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number Huang Xiang pursed his lips depressedly, but when he answered, a rather familiar voice came from inside, Wang Wei.
However, Huang Xiang, who was originally very surprised by the call from his good friend, immediately pulled down his expression.
"Damn, you just didn't get a ticket for today's game when you called me?" Huang Xiang glanced at his companion behind him with a dark face, and then walked out of the door.
"Where's your boy? Go ahead during the game, I don't have any experience in that, but there shouldn't be any seats in the front row, so put you on the edge of our bench, there should be a crowd there. Huang Xiang thought for a while and said lightly.
"Damn, why don't you die, I don't care, I have no experience in this kind of thing, there must be no seats in the first row, and the other positions, depending on the status of our two teams, there can be no vacant seats, 13 people will come as soon as you come, you still have to sit in the front, you really don't make money as a person?" Hearing Wang Wei say that more than a dozen people, Huang Xiang broke out directly.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the North Shore Garden Arena, which was crowded with people at this time, was all seated, and the red and green in the audience were in stark contrast, but the red force was much smaller.
Today's entry was a bit special, Garnett was still the last to play, but when he entered the game, he was greeted with a long round of applause, and now Celtics fans are extremely dissatisfied with the Celtics management, to put it bluntly, they just gave up the aging Garnett in order to get a younger power forward.
Garnett looked at the familiar venue, he hadn't thought he would play here as a guest, he really didn't.
"Kevin, today you are the main character." Howard patted Garnett on the shoulder and said with a smile.
glanced at Howard, the crazy leader of the Magic team, the former Magic team was not for sale, and at this time he also became teammates with himself, forget it, I don't want to, play hard, my own wishes, it's just a championship, isn't it?
Ray Allen and Pierce hugged Garnett, and the three people who once came together for their dreams are no longer fighting together at this time.
"Kevin, you know, there are some things that we players can't control." Pierce looked at Garnett with a wry smile, when he learned that Garnett was going to be replaced, he had strongly objected, but now, as an old captain, they don't give any face at all.
"I know, don't worry, don't you see that I'm doing well now?" Garnett pointed to the Cavaliers who were warming up behind him and said with a smile.
Pierce and Ray Allen glanced behind Garnett, O'Neal, Carter, Iverson, Howard, and rookie Huang Xiang, yes, Garnett is really doing well now.
"Okay, come on, I'm not going to let you take a victory away from here today." Pierce spread his hands, since it is an opponent, then only one person will win.
"Your opponent is Huang Xiang, the Chinese." Garnett pointed at Huang Xiang and said, but he was still very curious about the collision between the two, after all, Huang Xiang had not met a real outside powerhouse in the previous game.
After chatting with the two, when they were about to turn around, Big Baby and Rondo also came over, and Rondo at this time seemed to be the real engine in the Celtics, and Big Baby was also a force that should not be underestimated on the inside.
"Boss." The voices of the two sounded at the same time, yes, in their hearts, Garnett was the boss.
"Hey, how are you two doing?" Garnett asked with a smile.
"Boss, I'm in the same position with you today, and I won't show mercy." The big baby was cultivated by Garnett, since he first entered the league, only Garnett dared to beat and scold this guy in the Celtics, but this guy is Huang Gai, Garnett is willing to fight, he is willing to suffer.
"Okay, okay, you guys must be tactical, I'm going to warm up, I want to waste my time, no way." Seeing that the other people behind the two of them were also walking towards him, Garnett hugged them one by one and then turned to leave, he was not afraid that they would waste their time, but that there was already liquid shaking in his eyes.
The result of the match between the two teams will propel the winning team to the true top of the league, after all, both teams have won both teams before.
The sidelines were full today, and Garnett's three words were worth it.
And Wang Wei sat on a borrowed chair under his buttocks, sitting on the edge of the Cavaliers' bench, okay, not very offended, but the fragrance of the blonde beauty beside him made him uncomfortable.
"How's your studies going?" Huang Xiang walked to the sideline with the ball, there were still two minutes left in the game, the tactics had been arranged, and Huang Xiang needed to relax at this time.
"It's okay, what, do you have the confidence to win today, I'm a Celtic fan." Wang Wei looked at Huang Xiang and smiled as well.
Huang Xiang gave this guy a punch, then took a bottle of Gatorade from the side, threw it to Wang Wei and said: "Cheer me on for a while, and when you have the next chance, you will definitely come to Cleveland, my parents still mention you." ”
Wang Wei unceremoniously took the drink, took a sip, yes, and asked very right.
The referee's whistle sounded, and the game began, and Huang Xiang turned his head to the bench.
"The old rules, the old lineup, start from the opponent's inner line, after all, this is our iron advantage." Scott only said one word before he came on the pitch, but that was enough.
The referee's whistle sounded again, got up and took off his coat, Huang Xiang and the five looked at each other, smiled and walked into the field, the performance is about to start.
"Kevin, I'm not going to score in the first half." Huang Xiang glanced at Howard, then glanced at Garnett and said with a smile, There are some things here that you need to solve.
"That's what I thought, too." Howard and Iverson said at the same time.
"Damn, if you don't score, then we're not finished, I know you want me to explode today, but you can't do it either, okay, let it be." Garnett broke out in a cold sweat after listening to the words of the three of them, the three of them couldn't score, and the Cavaliers were really hanging.
At the beginning of the game, first of all, let's introduce the lineups of the two sides, the Cavaliers are still the same, Iverson, Huang Xiang, Jones, Garnett, Howard.
Compared with the Cavaliers, Cleveland's lineup is not bad at all, point guard Rondo, scoring guard Ray Allen, small forward Pierce, power forward West, and center Yao Ming.
When it comes to the perfection of the lineup, the Cavaliers are not as perfect as the Celtics, after all, every one of the Celtics has the strength of an All-Star.
At the start of the game, Yao Ming and Howard fought for the midfield position. In today's alliance, if someone can restrict Howard, it is estimated that only Yao Ming is available, but Yao Ming at this time is no longer the inside pagoda of the past, and no one knows whether he can play to his previous level.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to take a win today." Howard smiled slightly, then made a defensive stance.
Yao Ming didn't reply, looking at the referee intently, waiting for the jump ball.
Today's game, the United States ABC TV, the United States ESPN and dozens of other TV stations are broadcasting live, not only because the two teams have a strong lineup, but also because of the competition between the two sides; One of the main reasons for the first place in the league is the battle between the two champions from China, in other words, the Chinese derby.
