On December 3rd, in the early hours of the morning, the Celtics training gym, Jonny came here early, and there was a game with the Bulls in the afternoon, according to Jonny's habit, he would go to the arena a little earlier to practice shooting on the days when there was a game, which was a habit he maintained when he was with the Magic.

After all, on the days when there are games, the team will not arrange regular training, and for Jonny, the intensity of training will make him feel hot during the game. Jonny remembers that he didn't do this once last season, and as a result, he was playing iron for the whole game, and if he had practiced three points on the day of the game, it would have been much better, at least after Jonny practiced, there was still very little crazy iron playing.

Jonny arrived in the training gym, and at this time there was no one else there, Jonny went to the locker room alone to change clothes, grabbed the basketball and started shooting three-pointers.

"Whew! Swish! Swish! "Throwing and picking up, basically every ball is a shot without adjustment, and then every ball can be hit.

"Good morning, Jonny." Jonny had just shot less than ten balls when a sudden hello came from the arena, startling Jonny. You must know that it was only 4 o'clock when he arrived at the stadium, and after changing his clothes and throwing more than a dozen balls, it was almost 5 o'clock, which was still early before the 8 o'clock training time stipulated by the head coach, and Jonny was sure that no players would appear here.

The sound came from the other side of the door, and Jonny turned to see a white bald head walking all the way to the locker room. Anthony Parker, Jonny was a little surprised that it was this new teammate.

"Do you come so early every day?" Jonny hit another three-pointer. Hits.

"yes, every day." Anthony Parker paused and said. Then I went into the locker room. Jonny didn't say anything more, and began to practice intently, but in his heart, Jonny began to admire and be optimistic about this Anthony Parker, it is said that this guy has good defense and three-point shooting, is a typical 3D player, plus so hard. Obviously, the future will not be bad.

Anthony Parker quickly changed his clothes and came out to train, but the two did not continue to communicate. are all practicing silently. However, Jonny still paid attention to Anthony Parker, the serious white bald head has been practicing his three-point shooting, mainly in the bottom corner and on both sides of the arc, and Jonny also silently wrote it down. He decided to play more in these positions.

Such hard-working and talented players obviously need to be given more opportunities.

Soon, the two practiced profusely, and their teammates also arrived one after another, for the afternoon game, the teammates were still very relaxed, although their opponent was the Bulls, but they had already won the Bulls at the beginning of the season, and they were able to win one game against the league's No. 1 team. The current Celtics are very satisfied, of course, after bringing in Derrick Coleman. The Celtics still have the slightest idea of beating the Bulls.

Although this game is the first game of Scott Pippen's comeback, compared with the first game, the Celtics also have an extra power forward who can attack without dead ends, and the Celtics can naturally look forward to a win. Especially at this time, the Bulls' record is only 9-7, which is simply miserable. And Scott Pippen's comeback may help the Bulls reverse this disastrous situation, and in fact the Bulls are also looking forward to Scott Pippen's return. They hope Scott Pippen's comeback will help them turn the tide of the situation.

And for the Celtics, beating the Bulls in the first game of Scott Pippen's comeback. It is the biggest blow to the bull.

The game between the Celtics and the Bulls was also temporarily changed to a national broadcast by ESPN, which had just won the NBA broadcast rights, and they sent their new commentary duo Mike Brin and Mitchell Thompson, who they poached from the NBC, and the signing of Lakers legend Mitchell Thompson helped ESPN open up the market.

This bout was also the first time that Mike Brin and Mitchell Thompson had been paired with Cedric Maxwell, a Celtics legend. In the afternoon, the TD North Shore Garden Arena was full, and Mitchell Thompson skillfully picked up the headset belt, then looked at his new partner today, Mike Brin, and laughed and teased: "Hey, Mike, if it weren't for the fear that the Bulls fans would be upset, I wouldn't want to explain with you." ”

Mike Brin also laughed: "Haha, Mitchell, you should feel honored that I accompanied you to explain this game." It turned out that because of Cedric Maxwell's attributes as a celebrity in the Green Army, ESPN didn't dare to make all kinds of things at the beginning of taking over the NBA broadcast, so he simply replaced Cedric Maxwell and let the ace Mike Brin in his hand go up to the top.

However, although Cedric Maxwell could not sit in the commentary box in this game, he still appeared at the TD North Shore Garden Arena, where Cedric Maxwell, nicknamed Cornbread, helped the Celtics win two championship trophies, and he was also the MVP of the 1981 Finals. And as soon as he appeared in the stadium, he attracted bursts of cheers, this is the essence of the giants, and their attitude towards the old players is innate.

Jonny also ran over to say hello to Cedric Maxwell, and the Green Army legend who also appeared on the sidelines in this game was Robert Parish, according to later generations, the Chiefs are now holding their thighs in the Bulls to win the championship, but according to the current state of the Bulls, the Chiefs are likely to fail and retire. Even for his opponent, Parrish won a huge cheer when he appeared on the sidelines of TD North Shore Garden Arena.

Compared with Cedric Maxwell, Robert Parish contributed more to the Celtics, and Jonny naturally walked up to say hello, and the chief even talked to Ben Wallace, who seemed to be very optimistic about Big Ben's junior.

The game started quickly, and Mike Brin and Mitchell Thompson in the commentary box laughed a few words and set their sights on the court. The starting line-ups of both teams are already lined up on the field.

"The game is about to start, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides, on the Celtics side, their new signings are already in place, so their starting lineup has also changed to a certain extent, the starting point guard is Chauncey Billups, Tanhualang's performance in these games is not bad, and he is firmly in the main force. The shooting guard is Jonny Lee, the small forward is Bruce Bowen, who is good at sticky defense, the power forward is new signing Chris Coleman, and the center is Ben Wallace. ”

The Bulls' starting lineup for this wave is point guard Ron Harper, shooting guard Michael Jordan, small forward Scott Pippen, power forward Dennis Rodman, and center Luke Longley, and this game is the first game of the season for Scott Pippen, who previously missed all games this November due to injury. For the Bulls, whether Scott Pippen's comeback can help them get out of the predicament in November is the key to determining whether they can win three consecutive championships this season, and now the Bulls' form is very poor, the Celtics are the opposite, their form is very good, but both teams have some differences from November, the Celtics have new signings, the Bulls' Scott Pippen is back, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose this game. ”

"Let's look at the first wave of offense, Michael Jordan faces Jonny Lee, he rushes inside and pulls up the jumper! Entered! Michael Jordan met his old rival and started killing directly! (To be continued)
