In the 1998 draft, the Celtics, who had the No. 10 pick in the first round, selected Paul Pearce from the University of Kansas, and then Green Army coach Pitino shouted, "We've got a treasure."

After that drawdown, Pierce played in a total of 48 games, averaging 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, including the third best rookie in scoring rebounds that year, and was named to the All-Rookie First Team.

Of course, the core of the Celtics team is not Pierce, but Anthony Walker, who is known as the "fat head", his data is quite stable, and he has obtained about 20+10 data in the past three seasons, but the results of leading the team are too poor and he has never led the team to the playoffs.

This year's Celtics, with Walker and Pierce known as the "Celtics Twins," are already showing signs of revival.

On the evening of November 19th, North Shore Garden Arena!

The Celtics deserve to be known as the 'giants', even if the results in recent seasons are not good, but the fans are still enthusiastically entering the stadium, and the atmosphere is quite fanatical.

Perhaps in the eyes of fans, the Celtics are on the path of revival, with the same 5-3 record as the Nets in their first eight games, and hopefully making the playoffs this season.

After entering the stadium, Chi Liang was about to go to the away team's locker room with his teammates, but he was surrounded by many reporters, and a bunch of long guns and short cannons were handed to him.

Regarding the actions of the reporters, Chi Liang was a little puzzled at first, and then thought of something.

"Congratulations, Ji Liang, you beat Iverson, Garnett and other superstars to win last week's PO (Player of the Week), how do you feel?" ESPN's reporters were the first to speak.

Last week, Ji Liang played a total of three games and achieved three wins in three games, although the record is important, but the player statistics are even more important.

126+47+37

In these three games, Chi Liang averaged 42 points, 15.7 assists, 12.3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2.1 blocks per game.

Ji Liang was naturally happy to get the Rookie of the Week, and in order to deal with the reporters, he casually said a few words, nothing more than thanking the league, the team and his teammates.

After dealing with the enthusiastic reporters, Chi Liang came to the away team's locker room, and his teammates naturally knew about it and congratulated Chi Liang one after another.

Soon after, the Nets began to play, and the arena was filled with overwhelming boos, and Celtics fans wanted to use the boos to influence the state of the Nets players as much as possible and win the victory.

Soon, when it was the home team's turn, the voice changed from boos to cheers, and the frenzied atmosphere seemed to tear down the roof of the stadium.

Before the start of the game, Ji Liang and Pierce exchanged pleasantries for a while, both of them were rookies in the same year, although the relationship was average, but there was also a certain connection.

Nets: Center O'Neal Jr., power forward Ji Liang, small forward Newman, point guard Billups, point guard Armstrong.

Celtics: Center Vitaly Portapenko, power forward Walker, small forward Pierce, point guard Adrian Griffin, point guard Kenny Anderson.

Needless to say, Walker and Pierce, Potapenko is a Ukrainian citizen, and Griffin is an undrafted player, and the two are relatively limited, so there is nothing to introduce.

He is best known as Kenny Anderson, who is only 183 centimeters but has many honors before the draft, and during his high school career, he was named an All-Star High School Player by Parade magazine three times, he was also a McDonald's All-Star, Gatorade's High School Player of the Year, New York Sports Writers Association Player of the Year, and New York State Basketball of the Year by the New York Coaches League, and was named Parade, Naismith and USA Today's Player of the Year.

In the 1991 draft, Anderson entered the draft with an overall average of 25.9+5.7+5.9 per game in his final season in college, and was eventually won by the Nets with a roster pick, and he was the youngest player in the league at that time.

In the 1993-94 season, Anderson averaged 18.8 points and 9.6 assists per game, which earned him the 1994 All-Star.

That said, the Celtics are almost the equivalent of having three All-Star caliber players.

In order to deal with Anderson, Coach Rivers chose to start Armstrong, and both are flexible small players who can handle each other more easily.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Nets have the upper hand, but due to the relationship not long after the reconstruction, the run-in is not as good as the Celtics, plus this is the home of the Celtics, the gap is not very big.

However, on the Nets' bench, there are still Cage, Kidders, Margetty and Williams, who are obviously stronger than the Celtics and must have a greater chance of winning.

Soon, under the organization of the referee, it began to enter the jump ball link.

There was no accident, O'Neal Jr. easily grabbed the ball with the advantage of height and arm length.

The Nets launched an offensive first, Armstrong held the ball through the half, and seeing that there was no chance, he passed the ball to Ji Liang, who was stuck in a good position.

Walker is a little fat, but quite flexible, coupled with excellent physical confrontation and feel, full of deterrence in offense, but defense is his biggest weakness, as an All-Star player, the average number of blocks per game has not exceeded 1, the most prominent is only the ability to rebound, good card position when grabbing rebounds, relying on a slightly obese body, has a certain advantage in the scramble.

In the face of Walker's defense, Ji Liang used his feet to easily break through the opponent and easily hit the ball into the basket after bursting into the penalty area.

After switching offense and defense, Walker ran outside the three-point line, which has a variety of offensive means and a wide range of passing vision, but now he likes to shoot indiscriminately threes.

Ji Liang could only follow, he followed very closely, seeing that there was no chance to shoot three points, Walker immediately passed the ball to Anderson, and then took the initiative to run to the penalty area.

Soon, Anderson passed the ball back, and at the edge of the penalty area, Walker took a low back shot, he was 111 kilograms, and his weight was similar to that of the pool appearance, so naturally he did not take advantage of anything.

After discovering that he couldn't push Chi Liang, Walker immediately changed his style of play, using the change of footsteps to open up the shooting distance and turn over for a jumper.

This goal, Chi Liang is also helpless, he has defended it very well, but Walker's offensive ability is quite good, and the defensive end is relatively passive, it is difficult to completely limit the opponent.

Both teams have their own strengths, especially in the starting line-up, and have a good hand, which also led to the staggered increase in the scores.

For a time, no one had the upper hand.
