In the press booth at TD North Shore Gardens in Boston, reporters have come to their positions with their equipment.

In the front row stood a slightly chubby middle-aged man who was instructing his assistant to tune the machine, and that middle-aged man was Adrian Wonarowski, an expert reporter for Yahoo Sports.

"Hey, Adrian."

Wojnarowski heard someone calling him behind him, and hurriedly turned around, and when he saw the appearance of the person who shouted him, Wojnarowski smiled.

"Mark, what, you're here too?" The man who called him was Markstein, an expert journalist at ESPN, a young expert journalist on a par with Wojnarowski. In the NBA media world, Mark Stein and Adrian Wonarowski are considered two of the best young expert journalists today, so these two men seem to be in harmony, but in reality they are rivals.

Mark Stein replied with a smile: "There is no way, I can only come." Mark Stein didn't explain it, but Adrian Wonarowski already understood it very well, and Mark Stein's implication was: You are here, so we must have to send me here.

Adrian Wonarowski was a kind man, and he saw that Max Tannin wanted to fight him, so Adrian Wonarowski smiled and ignored Mark Stein when he was about to say hello.

But Mark Stein came prepared, how could he let Adrian Wonarowski go, seeing that Wojnarowski had the intention of ignoring him, he took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Adrian, I heard that you think the Celtics are better than the Hornets?" ”

Adrian Wonarowski glanced at Mark Stein and didn't reply.

And at this time, at the moment when Mark Stein provoked the topic, several reporters who were also tidying up their equipment next to him surrounded him. They came to see Adrian Wonarowski's jokes.

Seeing that Wojnarowski ignored him, several reporters on the sidelines were not ready to let Wernarowsky go, and said one after another: "What, Adrian, don't you think the Hornets are weaker than the Celtics now?" ”

"Are you cowardly? Adrian? ”

"Haha, I didn't expect our big reporter Wojnalovsky to be cowardly like this."

Adrian Vonarowski turned his head and glared. This time he was really enraged: "Yes, my argument is that the Celtics are stronger and more advantageous!" ”

"Haha! Adrian, are you stupid? Would a Celtics with only Jonny Lee be better than the Hornets with Vladdy Watts, Glens, Les, Anthony Mason and David Wesley? Sports Illustrated expert reporter David Puhaha laughed.

"That's right, that's right, this Hornets is not the same Hornets last season, the Hornets have Bobby Fils, an outside single defense player!" USA Today's reporter Sam Amick chimed in.

Adrian Vonarowski snorted and didn't speak again, knowing that this would happen as soon as he opened his mouth. Speaking his mind, Adrian Wonalovsky stopped paying attention to these peers who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.

It is said that peers are enemies, Adrian Wonarowsky couldn't help but sigh, this sentence is really true, even if he no longer pays attention to these fellow reporters, these reporters still talk all kinds of things next to him, and in the end he can only pretend that he didn't hear it, and hold back the anger in his heart. Wait for the game to start.

Soon, players from both teams entered. Start warming up.

Before this game, almost all media reporters and experts were optimistic about the Celtics, but Jonny was full of confidence, he knew in his heart that the Hornets would not be the opponent of the Celtics, and the Celtics restrained the Hornets in many positions, so the Celtics faced a flood of depreciation before the game. is also not responding at all, and is bent on slapping these media people in the face with a big victory.

There are two sets of games in the East and West on April 23, the Pacers vs. Cavaliers, the Celtics vs. the Hornets, and the Jazz vs. Rockets and Lakers vs. Trail Blazers in the East.

The Eastern Conference teams are the first to start. The Pacers host the Cavaliers and the Celtics host the Hornets, with both games officially kicking off at 7 a.m. ET.

"The game has begun, and welcome to the first game of the Celtics vs. Hornets in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs broadcast by ESPN, I'm ESPN commentator Mike Bryn, and this one next to me is my partner Marv Albert."

"The Hornets are already on offense, so let's take a look at the starting lineups, the Celtics side, the starting point guards are Chauncey Billups, scoring guard Jonny Lee, small forward Bruce Bow, big forward Derrick Coleman and center Ben Wallace. The Celtics are still putting out their regular lineup! ”

And the Hornets' starting point guard David Wesley, a Celtics veteran, starting point guard Bobby Fils, a defensive shooting guard, is the Hornets' special preparation for Jonny Lee and Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller. The small forward is Glen Les, the star of the Hornets, the power forward is Anthony Mason, and the center is Vladivac. ”

The Hornets' first attack drew boos from the fans, and the sidelines of the TD North Shore Garden Arena turned into a sea of green, and the waving scarves made the atmosphere of the entire arena very hot.

The Hornets' first offense, Vladivac on the inside, and then distributed to the outside, David Wesley missed, and at the beginning of the game, they didn't feel very good.

And the same is true for the Celtics, Jonny's pull-up jump shot also pops out of the frame, and at the beginning of the game, both sides need to find their touch, after all, it has been five or six days since the last game, that is, the regular season, they have not played an official game for five or six days.

After the two sides missed a few shots in succession, the Celtics took the lead in finding their touch, Jonny took the ball and rushed into the inside, encountered, and gave the ball to Ben Wallace, who was waiting at the edge of the basket, and Big Ben directly dunked and scored the first points of both sides.

And then the Hornets were not to be outdone, Glen Les faced Jonny's change of defense and directly scored a point! It was also the first point that got the Hornets.

From this time on, the two teams got into the groove and the game was exciting.

"Jonny Lee, he chose to give back a score! Shoot directly against Bobby Fils' defense! Entered! Pretty pretty! ”

"The first point of the game Joni Lee! Very nice score, it's an ans than Fils simply can't guard against Jonny Lee. Mike Brin thinks that Bobby Fils can't stop Jonny Lee at all, and Jonny Lee thinks the same way, and then he temporarily turns on personal mode to prove it. (To be continued......)
