"Larry, it's been a long time since I've been here."

Zhuang Fei looked at Larry Bird with a smile on his face, and Danny Angie on the side was also full of smiles, and even Michael Carr, the team director who had always been iron-faced with Zhuang Fei, also showed a slight smile when he saw this tall white middle-aged man.

"yes, when the owner refused to let me be the head coach of the team, I went to the Pacers in a fit of anger and never came here again."

Larry Bird looked around the Celtics training hall, the current Celtics players are still training, and many trainers here Larry Bird can call their names very clearly, although the players here have changed a group of people, the team's coach has also changed a group of people, and even the team's top management is different, but as an NBA dynasty team, there are still many previous traditions here.

For example, when I first entered the training gym with these people, they had some extremely exciting and fascinating signs on the way to the Boston Celtics training hall, most of these signs were left by fans, and most of these signs were very old, and these signs were also a record of everything that happened here in the past. For example, there is a piece that reads "Celtics who will always stand at the top", which was already in his rookie season, and in addition, a card that reads "6", which is the great star of the former Celtics, "The Lord of the Rings" Bill. Russell's jersey number, which he also had when he came to the NBA, of course, in addition to Bill Russell's number, he also saw a '33' representing himself in a very conspicuous place. It's just that in addition to these very familiar signs, a seemingly new sign has always made Larry Bird care, a new sign that says 'Z-Team' makes Larry Bird very surprised, Z-Team, as the name suggests is Coach Z's team, it is obvious that this good friend of his own has conquered the fans here, this speed is amazing.

And except for that 'z-team'. Another sign that read '17' left Larry Bird speechless, and the 17 number naturally did not mean that the team's legendary star Havlicek, but that the sign representing Havlicek was "Hondo". It's clear that this new 17 represents the hope that Zhuang Fei can bring them a 17th championship, which is a sign of trust in the coach who has conquered them, and the Boston Celtics coaches have not made these fans look forward to it before.

And judging by Larry Bird's memory. In the past ten years, the signage that belongs to the Celtics' 'road of honor' has not increased, after all, the team has been too dark in the past ten years, so most of the signs are from before Larry Bird left, but this year Zhuang Fei has appeared 2 new signs in succession, at this time in the heart of the Celtic legend Zhuang Fei brought more surprise to the changes brought by Zhuang Fei, this Chinese started well here, but really won the first place with 'z-team' as fans expected. 17' championships is not easy, the NBA is really strong now, and the current Celtics are still a little short.

"Since Larry, you're back now, it means that there is no isolation from the team," Carl said to Larry Bird with a relieved face. Five years ago, Larry Bird's desire to become the head coach of the Celtics was rejected, and the reason why the top management rejected him at that time was because the team's owner thought Michael Carr was more suitable than him, after all, Larry Bird had no coaching experience, and it was all based on his enthusiasm after watching the Wake Forest game, who knows if this guy will step on the already sinking Celtics again. In the end, it turned out that the vision of the former owner of the Celtics was indeed problematic, and Larry Bird was much better at coaching than Karl. Because he used to be the fuse for Larry Bird to leave the team, the momentum of the Celtics' operations director in front of Larry Bird was very weak at this time, and it was completely different from the iron face in front of Zhuang Fei. …,

And after hearing Karl's words, the superstar, who was still deep in thought just now, turned back to the past glory of the Celtics, but his face immediately changed at this time. Zhuang Fei, who had been standing on the side without speaking, clearly saw a different flush on the Pacers head coach's face. It seems that this Mr. Bird is not here to reconcile with the team, but has other plans, and Zhuang Fei also smiled slightly in his heart when he thought of this.

This is the interesting part of the giant team, the relationship network of the characters here is very complicated, Zhuang Fei came here for a year and deeply understood this, not long ago Zhuang Fei wanted to fire a shooting trainer who was not very good at training, and finally I didn't expect that the trainer to be able to find the relationship with Bill Russell to intercede, although in the end Zhuang Fei still cleared him out of the team, but the trainer also turned into a team technical consultant, which is much more complicated than in Wake Forest and in the Timberwolves, At this time, seeing Carl and Bird, Zhuang Fei couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then prepared to watch the next show.

And just when Zhuang Fei was looking forward to the next drama between the two, Larry Bird just nodded to Carl, but under Karl's extremely disappointed eyes, the former Celtic superstar directly found Zhuang Fei who was watching the excitement with him.

"Zhuang, that big white man doesn't seem to be able to find his place here" Larry Bird looked at Zhuang Fei with a smile, and then looked at the Celtics players who were training with the team's assistant coach Stephen Green not far away.

"Big white? Oku? Zhuang Fei looked at Larry Bird in surprise, and at this time, the head coach of the Pacers was looking at Oku not far away with an appreciative expression, and it was obvious that the coach was appreciative of the interior line who did not get an important inside line in the Celtics. When he saw this, Zhuang Fei also knew what this good friend who suddenly visited meant, this was not to make peace with the Celts, but to poach people directly.

Since the Pacers' former super white interior Smit was run back to Europe in a fit of anger after Garnett rode in the finals to retire, with the retirement of Smitter, the Pacers because of the lack of an inside fulcrum, resulting in the team's internal and external tactics can not be opened, the team's entire tactical system is on the verge of collapse, the first two seasons were all the eighth place in the regular season and all were eliminated in the first round, for the status quo Mr. Bird has naturally been seeking to change, but his most optimistic Xiao Ao was intercepted by Zhuang Fei, Now it seems impossible to get Xiao O, and the current NBA can become the fulcrum of the interior offensive is too few, the current NBA has begun to enter the era of interior scarcity, and just a few days ago in the third game of the Celtics and Wizards, the Pacers head coach took a fancy to Oku, the white backup center that impressed him, and he was also sure that Oku can grow to the height of Smiters. That's why he's going to return to Boston with the Celtics today after the Celtics swept the Wizards, and he's preparing to poach Oku from the Celtics.

"Larry, you know, Oku is very important to our team" Zhuang Fei, who figured out this stubble, naturally did not think that he would give the team's backup center to his competitors in the same district, although the relationship between the two is very good, but judging from the current situation of the Pacers, they have neither trade chips nor draft picks, Zhuang Fei will not be robbed, originally wanted to break Larry Bird's idea more officially, but was interrupted by Larry Bird before Zhuang Fei finished speaking.

"Zhuang, I know what you're thinking now, Oku is a chicken rib for your team, he can't keep up with the rhythm of your team, especially Arenas and Kirilenko, he is slower than Yao Ming looks, in this case, it is difficult for him to find a place in both the lineup and the substitute lineup, I think you are also a headache now" Larry Bird looked at Zhuang Fei and said with a smile, and Zhuang Fei smiled stupidly, now he knows how to use Oku and really doesn't know what to do, Everyone knows that this is a good player, but this good player is too awkward to be in a position. Larry Bird, who saw Zhuang Fei's thoughts, continued after a pause. …,

"Zhuang, I won't take him from your team for nothing, I know what your team needs now, although we Pacers don't have it, but I will also find you the players and chips you want, if you are not satisfied with the chips I have found you, you can completely refuse at that time, I need a commitment from you now, a promise to shoot Oku"

Larry Bird was very serious now, and Zhuang Fei finally nodded fiercely after staying for a while and then giving Larry Bird a deep look.

After getting Zhuang Fei's promise, Larry Bird was in a better mood immediately, and he was a little ignorant of Carl, but in the end, he slowly communicated with Carl, and in the end, the four of them even went to a bar in Boston together for half the night, and the address of the bar was still found by the former Celtic legend, and it seems that the legend is still familiar with this place.

And the day after they were high in the middle of the night with Larry Bird, Zhuang Fei came to the team with a slight headache, and not long after coming to the team, he got a very good news, the team's center Yao Ming won the best rookie with a great advantage over Gasol and Kwame Brown, and Arenas was also selected for the rookie first team, this honor is a very good comfort for Yao Ming, who is now at a low point.
