Chapter 52: The Celtic Four!
Since the "cohesion team" plan, George has been in contact with each teammate more frequently and closely than before, but he still maintains the same attitude with the head coach, because no opponent will be rampant enough to provoke the opposing head coach, since there is no conflict with D'Antoni, then George does not need to pretend to be intimate with him.
Besides, George really hates this coach a little, and maybe when he has the status of a team like Kobe, he will really part ways with him.
"Well, how could Joe and Monta Ellis fight......" Jeremy Lin, who had never been given a chance to play, was a little melancholy, and what George didn't know was that not only was Jeremy Lin's friend, but MontaEllis was too.
Just two days ago, Monta Ellis bought Jeremy Lin 20 pairs of jeans at a time, each worth about $200.
At this time, Jeremy Lin's money was still relatively tight, and he was not born in a wealthy family, and when he was growing up, his mother even used her own pension to fully support everything Jeremy Lin needed.
Therefore, after entering the Warriors, Jeremy Lin's life is also very frugal, whether on the team or outside, he wears the same pair of jeans.
Similarly, George is also a very good person in Jeremy Lin's opinion, and the conflict between these two people made Jeremy Lin feel very embarrassed.
In the end, the Warriors won the game, Monta Ellis was not affected by the conflict with George, but became more and more courageous, shooting three points one after another, but Curry, who was called "the strongest three-point shooter in history" by the audience in the live broadcast room, only shot three points once, most of them were two-point shots.
In the end, David Lee, Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis all scored more than 25 points, and the Knicks lost at home.
Although he lost, George received another 10,000 rewards this time, and the total gold coins have reached 80,000, and in the "Convertible Stars" column, there are also redeemable stars again, but those stars of the same level as Chuck Hayes will not help George much, George will continue to accumulate gold coins to exchange for stronger stars!
As soon as the game ended, Jeremy Lin, who had only played three minutes in the game, quickly ran to the Knicks' bench.
"Joe!" Jeremy Lin walked over to George.
When George saw it, he thought that Jeremy Lin was just here to say goodbye to him, and stepped forward to shake hands and said, "It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to fight you on the court today." ”
Jeremy Lin didn't take it seriously, and he didn't complain too much about today's playing time, but said very seriously: "Joe, I want to tell you that Montaelis is a very good person, he just gave me 20 pairs of jeans the day before yesterday, he is really good, you should be friends, not enemies." ”
[20 pairs of jeans? It's a few pairs of casual sweatpants! 】
[Jeremy Lin really doesn't have much money, sleeping on a sofa at a teammate's house in New York, and even having to be given a pair of pants by his teammates in his rookie season. 】
In fact, George has no prejudice against Monta Ellis at all, he targeted Ellis, the purpose is just to cause conflict and get a reward, Monta Ellis takes such care of Jeremy Lin, it can be seen that he is a leader who is not racist and takes care of newcomers, but George can't go over directly to apologize to Monta Ellis, in this way, everything he does on the field has become a ridiculous thing for the audience in the live broadcast room and Felton.
So, George could only say: "Lin, I believe he's a good teammate, but from the opponent's point of view, it's not like that. It's normal for conflicts to arise on the basketball court, and you don't have to take it too seriously. ”
"Joe......" Jeremy Lin suddenly felt that George had become stranger, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Back in the locker room, although the team lost, the atmosphere of the team was not bad, and Felton also took the initiative to talk and laugh with George.
In these two games, George shot for Gallinari and Felton respectively, and the two have begun to treat George as friends, and at the same time, George also noticed that Stoudemire would feel that he was a threat to him, because standing up for his teammates is usually the boss's business, and George is a little overstepping.
But the problem is that Stoudemire won't do this kind of thing for his teammates, George is not "grabbing", but "doing" for him, and besides, George is not only going to help role players, not the boss.
Stoudemire is an All-Star and will be targeted every game, and if he is treated unfairly, George will rush over to help as soon as possible.
……
When I got home in the evening, I talked to Erin on the phone for a long time before I coaxed my sister, who was worried about her.
Obviously, because of George's conflict with Monta Ellis, Erin began to worry about George again.
There is no way to do this, and when the next star is redeemed, George will not need to do it again, and this day, George believes that it will not be too far away.
It was 11 o'clock in the evening, at this time George had turned off the live broadcast, and after hanging up the phone, George still did not feel sleepy, found a letter-sized piece of paper from the only cabinet at home, and then unpacked a PaperMate gel pen box that he had just bought at Costco, took out a gel pen, and wrote the names of several people on clean paper.
PAUL PIERCE.
KG (Kevin Garnett).
RAJON RONDO.
SHAQUILLE O'NEAL.
NATE ROBINSON.
These five names are all Boston Celtics players, and the next opponent of the Knicks is the Boston Celtics!
No one would have thought that George would salivate when he looked at the names of these five people......
"Hahaha, these five people, but they're all troublemakers!"
George is playing the game now, and he is most afraid that there will be no conflict on the field, if the game is as bland as boiled water, and the audience in the live broadcast room is also drowsy, how can he reward him?
This game of the Warriors, if it weren't for the conflict between Monta Ellis and Felton, I am afraid it would have become a very boring game, but in the next game, George doesn't need to worry!
"Paul Pierce, basically a word can light his temper tantrums."
"Kevin Garnett, even if we don't mess with him, he's going to squirt all of us."
"Rajon Rondo's temper seems to be quite stinky, and there are conflicts with Ray Allen, with the coach, and with the management, so it's not difficult to make him angry."
"It's the same with Nate Robinson, too impulsive."
"Not to mention O'Neal, he's the most popular guy in NBA history, and it's so easy to have some interesting stories with him."
George rotated the gel pen with his right hand, imagining the "spectacular" picture that might be staged in the next show, and finally came to a conclusion: "The next one will make at least 20,000 yuan!" ”
……
A day later, the New York Knicks are at home, Madison Square Garden, and the Knicks and Celtics are playing live.
Since the Celtics brought together the Big Three of Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen in the summer of 2007, the team quickly rose from the worst in the league to the best in the league and beat the Lakers to win the championship.
It's a pity that they lost to the Magic in the 08-09 season, and were avenged by the Lakers in the Finals last season.
The game started quickly, and the starting lineup for the Boston Celtics was: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett and O'Neal.
The current Celtics are the No. 1 team in the East, and in the opening game, even the Miami Heat Big Three were defeated by them, and today's Knicks, they don't pay attention to them.
A few minutes later, the Celtics had established a lead, the backcourt combination of Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen, so that Felton and Wilson could not parry, previously, George had a good performance when defending Korver, and now Ray Allen can be said to be the best three-point shooter in the league today, D'Antoni also wanted to see if George had a way to deal with him, and it didn't take long for George to be sent on the court.
After his debut, George looked at the group of luxury lineups opposite, and the barrage in the live broadcast room was also continuous, which was the first time he had faced such a big-name opponent since he entered the NBA.
"What a good opponent! It's a pity that I'm not here to play with you today, I'm here to find trouble! ”
