“Larry，Larry，Larry。” After Meng Xu's dunk was completed, the North Shore Garden Arena resounded with sparse applause and cheers.

"That guy is the head coach of the Pacers now." Hearing the constant shouting of Larry Bird from fans in the stands, Bob Cousy was also disgusted, frowning and saying. Tom Heinsohn on the side shook his head helplessly.

Just as Bob Coussy's words were spread through the loudspeaker to the entire North Shore Garden Arena, a burst of boos rang out in an instant, which was naturally given to Bob Coussy.

Today's Celtics fans have experienced Larry Bird, the glory of the Black and White Championship and the Troika era, Larry Bird is also the idol of countless young Boston, and for old guys like Bob Cousy, they only have respect.

So after the game started, Meng Xu, who was called the most like himself by Larry Bird, did not get boos from the Celtics fans, and in the fourth quarter, these fans even applauded Meng Xu. The Celtics, who have a glorious history and heritage, and their fans are also very arrogant, giving applause and cheers to a player of the away team, which is also the first time in recent years that North Shore Gardens has seen that these fans are obviously looking at Bird's face, even this is enough to shock people, you must know that the last person to conquer North Shore Gardens was Michael Jordan.

The dirty feud between Larry Bird and Bob Cousy has now been widely circulated among Celtic fans, and most of the fans are very dissatisfied with them forcing Larry Bird away, and even some extreme fans have long been shouting for Pitino and Bob Cousy to get out.

Just when the fourth quarter hit 9 minutes, Meng Xu hit a 3-pointer again, raising his score to 27 points, and in the fourth quarter, he shot 7 of 13, including 5 of 10 3-pointers, and scored 19 points in a single quarter, and the difference between the two teams was also stretched to 16 points.

The entire North Shore Garden resounded with this overwhelming cheer, nearly 20,000 fans chanted Larry Bird's name in unison, and when Meng Xu was substituted, the fans in the stadium gave Meng Xu a warm applause.

"It's time for us to make a change." With three minutes left and 16 points down, the game ended when Pitino replaced all his key players. Flicking the cigarette ash off his body, the cardinal left the box on crutches and with Bill Russell's support.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Celtics 115-93 away, Meng Xu scored 27 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 1 block in this game, scoring and assists hit a season high, and won the best player in a single game for the first time in his career. Anthony Walker, on the other hand, had 25 points, six rebounds and three assists.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Successor Battle mission, getting the task reward of 1000 experience points, 30 attribute points, and an All-Star 3-point contest shooting card." Hearing the reward for completing the task, Meng Xu was also a little disappointed, originally thought that he would at least get an A-level training card or something, but he didn't expect that there was not even a B-level one.

After returning to the hotel, Meng Xu entered the system space as soon as possible to check the rewards for completing the task, but the result made Meng Xu very disappointed.

"All-Star 3-Point Contest Shooting Card." When he clicked on this card and observed the use and use, Meng Xu was also a little helpless, like the name, it was limited to the All-Star 3-point competition, and it was completely an entertainment card.

Card Name: All-Star 3-Point Shooting Card.

Conditions of use: Limited to the All-Star 3-Point Contest.

Effect: After the card is used, the host will have 5 chances of hitting 100%.

Number of uses: 3/3

The next day, the Spurs returned to San Antonio by plane, ready for the game with the Portland Trail Blazers on January 19, and in the training session on the same day, Meng Xu was also devastated, although Meng Xu performed very well in the game with the Celtics, and it is no exaggeration to say that this game was Meng Xu's best game this season, not only contributed 9 backcourt rebounds and 5 steals on the defensive end, but also scored 27 points on the offensive end and sent 6 assists.

Although he thought he was perfect, Popovich was still a little angry at Meng Xu's deliberate feat of "scoring" in the fourth quarter, and after returning to San Antonio, Popovich slashed Meng Xu on the training ground, and then 1000 sets of passing and receiving training as punishment.

At the same time that Meng Xu was punished, in the general manager office of the Spurs club, Popovich and the assistant coach, as well as the team's head of operations, circulated a fax in their hands.

"Is Meng so valuable?" As soon as I went to work today, the Spurs received a fax from the Celtics club, and after seeing the content of the fax, the Spurs' head of operations also looked at Popovich with some confusion, and the content of this fax was a little scary.

"Meng has some potential, but he will never reach the heights of Larry Bird, and the Celtics are obviously collecting a successor to Larry Bird." This fax from the Celtics is also a way for Mike? Budenholzer was a little skeptical that today was April Fool's Day. The Celtics are willing to trade this year's first-round pick with Danny Fortson and the team's rookie Adrian Griffin for the Spurs' Meng Xu.

Danny Fortson is a big forward, he was only traded to the Celtics from the Denver Nuggets this season, and he averaged 11 points and 11 rebounds per game last season, which is a very good power forward, and Adrian Griffin is a rookie player this season, with an average of about 20 minutes per game, he can get 8 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.5 steals. And that draft pick, the Celtics have not performed well this season, and this first-round pick must be an lottery pick.

"Danny Fortson is a very good interior player, and Adrian Griffin is also a very good sixth man." Mike? Budenholzer took the fax and kept muttering it in his mouth. These few trade chips can be said to be very much appetite for the Spurs, the Spurs have been looking for suitable replacements for David Robinson and Tim Duncan, and the bench lineup has always been the weakness of the Spurs, it can be said that the Celtics have touched the pulse of the Spurs very accurately.

"Is Auerbach old confused?" Popovich kept tapping his fingers on the table, his mind constantly searching for possible loopholes in this deal.

"Greg, I don't understand things at the competitive level, but one thing I know is that no one wants to trade at a loss."

"Well, Mike, write back to the Celtics, and say that Meng is not for sale." After hearing the words of the head of management, Popovich also sobered up, the cardinal has always been known for looking at the players, he has coached the Celtics for decades, and he has basically not selected parallel goods, many of the players selected by the cardinals have only watched their game once, and they decided to choose him, such a guy, is it a person who will suffer? In the last game between the Spurs and the Celtics, it was said that the Cardinal and Bill Russell were both present in person, and the Celtics sent a trade request to the Spurs on the second day of the game, which is really intriguing.
