After a day of free time, the team returned to Boston the next day. When the team arrived at TD North Shore Gardens, Danny Angie greeted the Summer League winners.

Angie first congratulated the team, and then announced a big news to everyone present: Paul Pierce has officially announced his retirement!

As Ainge said, after the Clippers finished last season, Paul Pierce also planned to return to the Celtics to officially retire as promised before the start of last season, and before retiring, the Celtics will have a symbolic contract with the meritorious player who once brought glory to the Celtics, so that the veteran can "go home" as he wishes and be respected by him.

The veteran, who is about to turn 40, was selected by the Celtics with the 10th pick in the first round of the draft in the 90s of the last century.

Paul Pierce's most glorious period was in the 2007-08 season, with the "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett and the "Marksman" Ray Allen to form a big three, leading the Celtics to defeat the rival Lakers in the Finals to win the NBA championship, Pierce was also elected MVP of the Finals, reaching the peak of team and personal honors.

The 15-year Celtics has been the epitome of the last 20 years, leading the Green Army to the top of the NBA, deserving of recognition, and deserving of a return to the Celtics to end his career.

Hearing the news, the players who had planned to disband on the spot after returning and regroup a month later all stayed behind and waited to witness this historic moment.

On August 20, 2017, Paul Pierce held a jersey retirement ceremony, and the iron man on the court finally burst into tears, but he received the respect he deserved, and the Celtics announced that they had signed a "one-dollar contract" with Pierce before the retirement ceremony, which guaranteed that Pierce would still be an official player of the Boston Celtics on the day of the retirement ceremony! And the Celtics' humane contract has also won unanimous applause from the media and fans.

At the retirement ceremony, general manager Danny Angie, who spoke on behalf of the team, said that as long as Pierce wants, the Boston coaching bench will always be open to Pierce, and player representatives Chris Paul and Al Horford also paid tribute to Pierce at the press conference, especially Paul, who has been a teammate with Pierce for two years with the Clippers, and is full of praise for the commander who is resilient on the court.

In the warm atmosphere of the scene, Pierce, who was originally in a very depressed mood, was gradually infected by everyone, and finally laughed at Bird's sense of humor near the end of the press conference.

When asked about Pierce's role as coach, Bird immediately interjected, saying: "I really want Paul to join our team's coaching staff right away, but you know, Paul is a very demanding person, and when he feels that your movements are not in place or he is not satisfied, he will personally guide you, and sometimes even ask for a 1v1 with you. ”

At this point, Bird shifted gears and continued: "And then he's going to forget who he's coaching and he's going to fix the opponent badly, I mean, even if he's almost 40, well, even if he's 50, he's still going to make some of the new guys in our team get beaten and can't find the north, which is not good for our team." ”

Bird's exaggerated tone and funny look made the reporters sitting in the audience laugh good-naturedly. And Pierce couldn't help but shake off the beginning of his depression in this cheerful atmosphere.

Bird's humor doesn't seem to be over yet, "but, if he does, no one will stop him, after all, he is the "truth". After saying that, Bird pouted and looked at Paul Pierce who was sitting on the stage.

After Bird's joke again, this time the atmosphere in the venue was more cheerful, and Pierce even covered his face with his hand and lowered his head with a smile.

Speaking of newcomers, after the mood of everyone at the scene stabilized, a Chinese reporter immediately asked Bird: "Excuse me, Larry, do you mean that the newcomers you are talking about also include Ye Hai, who was just selected by the team this year?" He's a small forward, like Paul. ”

Bird saw that it was a Chinese reporter and immediately said: "Oh damn, you reminded Paul, I can't wait to see Paul and Ye Hai's 1v1." ”

"Hahaha..."The audience burst into laughter again.

In this friendly atmosphere, Paul Pierce's retirement ceremony press conference ended successfully, and at the end of the press conference, Angie also provided a news material to the reporters present, that is, the team will hold the retirement ceremony of Paul Pierce's jersey in the first home regular season game of the new season!

After the press conference, Angie first approached Pierce and said, "Paul, this is the first time I've met Larry with such a sense of humor. ”

"Me too, I'm surprised." Pierce responded.

"That's the respect you deserve, though." Angie looked at the captain of the team who brought the championship to the team during his tenure, and his eyes were full of respect and gratitude.

Bird, who was surrounded by reporters after the press conference to ask some questions, finally pulled away and went to the general manager's office to meet with Angie and Pierce, where the team's head coach Stevens was already waiting.

"Dude, thank you so much just now." Byrd's hosting made Paul Pierce's retirement ceremony a spectacular one, for which Pierce was naturally very grateful.

"Well, if you really want to thank us, join us." Bird looked at Pierce's eyes with a sparkling gaze.

"Yes, we need you, you know, we already have Al and Chris, if we get your guidance, Ye Hai in this year's draft will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, so that the Celtics are very hopeful of wrestling with the Cavaliers this year." Stevens said sincerely.

"Dude, I understand your feelings, but I've just retired, please give me some free time, I just want to go on a good vacation now, enjoy some rest, and wait until I come back." Pierce said quietly.

Witnessing the retirement of another legendary small forward of the team on the stage, Ye Hai's heart also had a lot of shock, if one day, he can also get such treatment and respect, and even retire the jersey here, how good it would be!

The gears of the times are always turning, pushing time forward, and there has always been a glorious tradition of small forwards in the history of the Green Army, which has been maintained under the flow of time.

A shining star sets from the night, while another even brighter and dazzling star slowly rises in the night! (To be continued.) )
