"Jermaine, stand up to him, stand up to him."

"Daktro, watch your position."

"Kwame, be tough, be tough, you're playing Kevin Garnett! You're going to have to imagine yourself like a big guy who can do anything! ”

"Ronnie, if Ray Allen's three points were the same as your current target, they would have gone back fishing a long time ago!

On May 19, 2008, the day after the Celtics and Cavaliers broke out of the game, while most of the media in the United States was still lamenting LeBron James's exit, the Pacers had already set off for Boston, and after getting off the plane, they were engaged in intense training to prepare for the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics tomorrow night.

Although the Celtics only defeated the Cavaliers yesterday to enter the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers' arrangement for the Celtics began a week ago, as the team with the first record in the regular season, the Celtics are obviously the biggest obstacle on the way to the Pacers' title defense, so in today's training game, Rick Carlisle is just practicing the tactics and strategies that have been prepared for a long time.

In fact, for the Pacers, they would prefer the Cavaliers to beat the Celtics, because in this way the Pacers have home-court advantage, but the sky is not as good as expected, the Pacers have to play two away games in Boston, and the Celtics' Eastern Conference Finals are also the first series in so many seasons in which the Pacers have no home-court advantage against Eastern teams.

The Pacers and the Celtics are also a pair of old enemies, as the Celtics legend Larry Bird and the Celtics management have a long history of grievances, especially with the current general manager Danny Ainge, and the Celtics after the new millennium, the only few playoff trips were ultimately defeated by the Pacers, so when the Celtics and the Pacers met in the Eastern Conference Finals this time, many people in the Green Army hoped to defeat the Pacers, Especially Paul Pearce, who led the team to the Pacers multiple times.

"The Pacers are very strong, they're playing easier in the first two rounds of the playoffs, but we don't have any special thoughts about them because we're the best team in the league and the regular season record says it all."

"We have the best interior player in the league, Kevin Garnett, and of course me and Ray, and we're all in the top three in every position in the league, and with the three of us, we can beat everything."

"As for Meng, I don't deny that he is the best player in this league, averaging a triple-double per game in a single season, regular season MVP, scoring champion, steal king, assist king, in the entire history of the NBA, there has never been such a comprehensive player, but I still say that as long as I, Kevin, Ray, the three of us join forces, anyone, any team, will not be our opponent!"

"Paul, you mean you're going to knock out the Pacers, right?"

"Of course, why not, not only that, in the series with the Pacers, I have to personally defend Meng Xu and go directly against him."

"Another point, I hope you can convey it to Meng, that is, I hope Meng can be ready to extend his retirement, because he has no chance to win the championship this season, and if he wants to fulfill his promise, he can only wait for next season, or next season, haha."

As the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals is getting closer and closer, the war of words between the two teams has gradually kicked off, and all media reporters are happy to see this kind of thing, and even ready to add fuel to the fire, but to everyone's surprise, Celtics captain Paul Pearce, opened fire on the Pacers and Meng Xu without any teasing.

Is Paul Pearce's brain w? Or did the victory over the knight make him swell beyond control? Of course not, because after the victory over the Cavaliers, the Celtics have run in quite well, the three giants have a clear division of labor in their respective duties, and assist each other, they have completed the original intention of 1+1+1 greater than three, which is also the reason why the Celtics are full of confidence in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Pacers, and one point is particularly important, that is, the Celtics have not lost a home court after entering the playoffs, the team has run in smoothly, plus the advantage of sitting on the home court, so in Paul Pearce's view, Beating the Pacers is already a matter of course.

In the current NBA, it is normal for each other to fight each other before the start of the series, and even Dwight Howard, who made the playoffs for the first time in his career, knows that he stomps on his opponents and sprays each other in the air, not to mention an old ruffian like Paul Pearce.

Any NBA player, after being suppressed by a certain person and a certain team for a long time, will have a psychology of unwillingness and disgust, and after they finally see the opportunity for the salted fish to turn over, if they don't jump out and be arrogant, I'm afraid they will be sorry for themselves, Paul Pierce is obviously like this now, Paul Pierce, who has been shrouded in the shadow of the Pacers and Meng Xu for so many seasons, and finally sees the sunshine, will definitely want to be ashamed, whether it is for revenge or for the final championship, Or for the trust of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, Paul Pierce has no way back.

"Paul was confident of victory? It's normal and everybody can be confident about winning, because no one is on the court thinking about losing, and we should be able to understand Paul's desire to win, after all, it's been a long time since he's experienced what it's like to win in the playoffs. ”

"As for Paul saying that I want to postpone my retirement, that's a good idea, but I'm never going to change what I've decided."

After Paul Pierce publicly shouted Meng Xu, Meng Xu also replied unceremoniously in an interview, it has nothing to do with personal grievances, it is purely a matter of the position of both parties, Paul Pierce sprays Meng Xu, sprays the Pacers, is it not another form of loyalty?

"FVCK, this guy is really arrogant, it's so unpleasant." On the morning of the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Rajon Rondo, who came to the training ground early in the morning, scolded unhappily after seeing the report about Meng Xu in the Boston Herald.

You must know that the Celtics are the best team in the entire league, why is this guy so arrogant, and he is ashamed to say that what he decides will never change. At the end of this report, the Boston Herald also quoted Meng Xu's famous quote in the season: As long as I am here, none of you will be delusional about the championship!

Rajon Rondo, who was originally in a very good mood because he eliminated the Cavaliers and reached the Eastern Conference Finals, was in an instant worse mood after seeing this report, and he couldn't wait for the game to start now, beat the Pacers, and see if that guy was still arrogant.

Rondo is very unhappy now, but what Rondo doesn't know is that his unhappiness has just begun, and after the game starts, after seeing the Pacers' special arrangements for him, Rondo knows what it means to be really unhappy, and what it means to cry without tears.
