"Paul, as long as we can win today, what is it to let him be arrogant for a while?" Ray Allen, who hugged Pierce, wanted to use the win to persuade Pierce to calm down, after all, the purpose of the three of them getting together was to win the championship, not to fight with others.

"Hmph." Pierce, who calmed down, stared at Meng Xu, who was slowly retreating, and ran towards the front, Meng Xu's words just now can be said to have deeply stabbed Pierce's heart, when Meng Xu entered the alliance, Pierce was a popular new star, and the Celtics boss Antoine Walker at that time was called the Celtic twin stars, Pierce and Meng Xu at that time could be described as a heaven and an underground, but then Pierce didn't know what was happening, Cardinal Auerbach actually instructed the management of the Celtics, With All-Star forward Antoine Walker at the peak of his life to exchange for Meng Xu, who was still a rookie at the time, it is said that in the end, even he was involved, although the deal was not reached in the end, but from that time on, as long as he heard Meng Xu's name, Pierce would feel very uncomfortable.

After two seasons in the league, Meng Xu has grown into one of the four major stars in the league who can be called Duncan, O'Neal, and Kobe, as for Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker, they are getting farther and farther away from Meng Xu.

And with Meng Xu coming to the East, the Pacers and the Celtics began to meet in the playoffs, and after the cardinal's comeback, the Celtics, who finally got a little better, fell into a trough again after losing to the Pacers in a row, and then Danny Ainge, who took over the Celtics, chose to send Antoine Walker away, but instead of getting out of the predicament, the Celtics fell deeper and deeper, especially last season, which played a 24-58 record in the bottom of the East, The TD North Shore Garden Arena, which is known as the impregnable home of the devil, has also been countered many times, especially in the game with the Pacers, the fans at the TD North Shore Garden Arena cheered for Meng Xu throughout the game, as long as Meng Xu walked to the free throw line, the fans on the scene would shout the MVP slogan in unison, making it as if the TD North Shore Garden Arena was Meng Xu's home stadium.

So Paul Pierce wanted to defeat Meng Xu and defeat the Pacers more than anyone else, and after defeating James's Cavaliers, Pierce chose to break the cauldron and publicly call Meng Xu out, in order not to give himself any way out, and only by defeating Meng Xu and eliminating the Pacers can he get rid of the shadow on himself for so many years.

Compared with Pierce, who had mood swings under Meng Xu's provocation, the rest of the Celtics players were not affected by Meng Xu, so after Meng Xu's three-point shot, they began to advance according to the established tactics.

Rajon Rondo, who was the playmaker, quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, and as in the previous round, there were still no Pacers players coming to defend him, but a slight difference from the last offense, Ray Allen and Pierce were not waiting to receive the ball on the spot, but were tearing the Pacers' defense with off-ball running.

Due to the reason why the Pacers let go of Rajon Rondo, the Pacers will always be in a situation of defending the rest of the Celtics players, and the remaining Celtics players, no matter who receives the ball, may be caught by the Pacers, so if you want to find opportunities on the offensive end, the most important thing is to let the Pacers move on the defensive end, or be exhausted, because only in this way will the Pacers' defense be porous.

After going around along the baseline from the left side of the court, Paul Pierce, who arrived on the right side of the court, received a pass from Rajon Rondo under Meng Xu's defense, and then Pierce leaned on Meng Xu to force a jump shot and hit a two-point shot.

"Mr. Best Defensive Player, are you just like that!" Pierce, who hit a jump shot under Meng Xu's defense, finally let out a bad breath in his heart, and waved his fist fiercely at Meng Xu beside him, not only that, but Pierce squirted a trash word at Meng Xu with an excited face, this time the attack was really relieving.

"See, this is still my territory." Listening to the cheers of the surrounding audience, Pierce's psychology is also a burst of relief and pride, why Pierce had a showdown with the management after the end of last season, the main reason is that TD North Shore Garden Arena has been rebellious again and again, which makes Pierce disgusted, but with the Celtics winning the first record in the regular season this season, TD North Shore Garden Arena has once again returned to the true color of the devil's home field.

Offensive and defensive conversion, this time the Celtics' retreat speed is very fast, all players, including the two interior lines, are all in place before the basketball passes the halfcourt, so this time the two sides can only slow down and play positional battles, today's center Jermaine O'Neal stopped directly after reaching near the free throw line, although because of injuries, Jermaine O'Neal's ability to finish under the basket has been greatly reduced, but Jermaine O'Neal's ability to respond, and mid-range shooting is still not lost, Especially the jump shot near the free throw line, the shooting rate is quite high, so once the game falls into a positional battle, Jermaine O'Neal's blocking and strategy has become one of the offensive means that the Pacers rely on.

"Bastard, you can't get rid of me." After half the time, he clinged to Meng Xu's Pierce, and while running closely with Meng Xu, he didn't forget to spray a few trash words on Meng Xu, but Meng Xu's trash talk to Pierce was basically ignored, because Meng Xu believed in speaking with facts, teaching him to be a man with strength, and when he scored this goal, it was not too late to turn back and hit him in the face.

After taking Pierce around for half a circle, Meng Xu received a pass from Tony Allen, no blocking, no cooperation, just a series of in-place feints, Meng Xu used his back to break through and get rid of Pierce's defense, and then before Kevin Garnett's supplementary defense arrived, he hit a stop-and-go jump shot.

"Paul, I'm crossing you like I'm crossing the road in the morning." After Pierce chattered trash talk at Meng Xu, Meng Xu also quoted Payton's famous quote after hitting a pull-up jump shot to stimulate Paul Pierce.
