Chapter 207 vs. Celtic 1

76ers locker room at Vochovia Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

"No, Larry, you're telling the truth!" Aaron was thrilled.

"yes, of course I mean what I say." Larry said calmly.

"Wouldn't it be, my starter is gone?" Aaron said.

"Of course, whoever told you to lose last time should take the responsibility yourself." Larry said.

"......" was really a little speechless about the last mistake, Aaron. Usually at that time, few people would not believe in themselves. Luke, on the other hand, passed the ball out and handed it to the usually inconspicuous Brian Cardinal, who killed him with a single blow. This gave Aaron a lot of headaches.

"Alon, don't worry about it anymore, just wait, let's go first!" Reid put on his team jersey and patted Allen on the shoulder.

"yes, let's go first!" Tyrone Hill also said.

"Okay, Allen, don't worry too much, today we are playing Celtic, not a strong team, take a good rest! Watch us perform! Luke also patted Aaron on the shoulder and said.

"Luke, even you taunt me!" Aaron said, "I'm not alive! "Aaron made a motion to hit the wall.

“… Why don't you stop me! Aaron made this gesture and ignored him.

...... "Everyone was speechless." How are you today? "The moon is nice." "yes, the wind is good." Everyone else started chattering.

"Alright, Aaron. Don't sell cute, no one will care about you! Larry also came up and patted Aaron on the shoulder and said. Let's go, go on the field and see their game! ”

The camera changed to the Vochovia Arena, which was the team's first home game after the All-Star season, and the stadium was already full. And Rick Pitino led his Celtics to the home court of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Under his organization and trade, the Celtics formed a twin star lineup that countless people envy across the league - Paul Pierce and Anthony Walker. The twin stars can average 48.7 points per game, which is already very good. But in fact, the Celtics are the only two who can get the shot, and apart from the two of them, the average score of the others does not exceed double digits. However, their defense is not bad. It can only allow the opponent to score 96.8 points. But they also only scored 94.6 points, so they often lose. So far, they have only won 23 games, and the win rate is only slightly more than half. It can be seen that the Celtics have little hope of even making the playoffs.

They shouldn't have been like this. But a little bit. Failed to keep a super-rookie striker in the first place. And it's the kind that doesn't use draft picks at all. But the Celtics didn't leave him behind and let him go, which was the biggest headache for the Celtics. This is also the reason why all those who don't like Rick Pitino attack him the most. "The general manager of a wealthy family can't even keep a rookie, what's the use of it?" This made Rick Pitino suffer, coupled with the team's bad record, Rick Pitino

The pressure can be imagined, which makes his temper very bad. It also affected the players.

And this All-Star Game, the forward was selected for the All-Star Game, although he was not a starter, but it was enough to show the popularity, and this once again slapped Rick Pitino in the face. And the All-Star is just over, and it's the Celtics vs. that forward's team. I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the alliance, or if it was a coincidence. And when Rick Pitino saw the opposing starting lineup, his nose was crooked.

The list is not very well-known except for the forward and a power forward who participated in an All-Star in the last century, and it includes two rookies, and both of them were second-round picks in the 2000 draft, second only to the most despised people in the third round! And, of course, there's an under-the-top backup centre-forward.

Is this the 76ers too confident or completely looking down on the Celtics, this lineup is a god, a substitute?

Rick Pitino didn't know that the 76ers had such a lineup because of a bet during the team's in-house training, and he just thought that Larry looked down on him. "Well, now that you're Larry Brown Bull, it looks like you can win the best coach this year (Larry won the best coach trophy this year). I'll just see your strength, let me see if my lineup can beat you directly! ”

"Paul, Anthony, Tony (Tony Barty), Bryant (Bryant Sticky), Randy (Randy Brown), you five up together! Teach them a good lesson! "Rick Pitino fielded the strongest squad for the Celtics right now.

"Yes, Coach!" The players replied in unison.

Players from both sides take the field. Luke looked at Paul Pierce over there. It's a legend and a very physical player, and Luke saw it last year.

In the early hours of September 25, 2000, Pierce was dragged to a bar by his teammate Barty (Tony Barty above), and got into a verbal altercation with a person in the bar, which immediately caused a fight. Pierce was slammed on the head with a bottle of wine by a scoundrel, and some stabbed him 11 times. This is 11 knives, the heaviest of which is 8 centimeters deep, piercing the lungs and touching the heart by 0.25 centimeters! What a terrible thing! Just talking and listening is terrifying. What will happen to those who have received these 11 stabs? If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to stand up for the rest of his life, at least for a year and a half to recuperate. But what about Paul Pearce? It only took 1 month to return to the team, what a terrifying thing. It's about how good your physical fitness is. This really made Luke admire.

Both sides jumped the ball, and Nazr Mohammed was completely incomparable to Tony Barty in this regard. The ball was picked up directly by Tony Barty. The ball came to Randy Brown's hands.

The Celtics organized the offense. Randy Brown controls the basketball in his hands and watches the movement on the court. This situation is usually left to the first brother of the team, but this is the most difficult choice.

The Gemini team is very enviable, but the team relationship is also very difficult to handle, because the team's first attack is usually the team boss, and the Gemini team is a dual core lineup, and passing to anyone may cause dissatisfaction to another person, which is the most troublesome thing.

Fortunately, now Anthony Walker is defended by Tyrone Hill, so Randy passes the ball to Paul Pierce.

Let me start with the question, how many different ways can you attack? Then, let me ask you another question, is there any way you cite that our great PP doesn't understand? Didn't put it? Because all the offensive aspects of the inside and outside are not difficult for our TheTruth. The entire half was PP's offensive range. Three-point shot, mid-range shot, cut-in, fast-break, layup, throwing, rod pulling, dry pulling, backwards, emergency stops, changing directions, low-post turns, hook hands, what offensive moves does he not know? As long as you don't think of anything that he can't, you can't find an offensive skill that he can't have, and he's perfected all the skills that can score.

Of course, his strongest way to score is the low post back single. A netizen once said that with his low-level skills, it is okay to sit with the basket on his back. Unlike Little Melon's low singles, PP doesn't need to use his PP to get into position, he uses his unbeatable back muscles. With his tiger back, he can carry very deep with a single force, just like Sir Charles. PP is the player who does the most serious low-post feints in the league, his feints are not fast and complex, but his realism, coherence and ability to make fouls are definitely the first in the league. Even if he is not fully mature now, he can still beat many players in the league. If Brian is allowed to defend, it will only be blown up directly, not to mention that in the preseason, Paul Pierce has already blown Brian once. So only Luke defended PP again.

"Hi Paul, long time no see!" Luke greeted PP.

"Hello!" PP also replied kindly.

"Are you feeling better?" Luke then asked.

"It's all right. Isn't it just that I was stabbed 11 times, it's nothing! PP said confidently.

"Then I won't release the water, and I'll defend seriously!" Luke said.

"Come on, let you see my current strength!" PP said seriously. (To be continued......)
