Chapter 045: The Soul of the Green Army

The temporary deficit in the opening period did not have any impact on the psychology of the Celtics group, and the presence of a dozen veteran players has made the Green Army appear calm in the face of any big wind and waves, especially since successfully winning a championship.

What is there in the opening game, just catch up, anyway, compared to the lineup, Celtics have never been afraid of anyone. This is the unanimous idea of the Green Army, and the presence of three top All-Stars gives them enough confidence.

Ray Allen slid a three-pointer, Garnett turned and stepped back to make a jumper, Pierce made a steady break, the Celtics have too many scoring means, and in this game, they are constantly proving it.

Of course, compared to the scoring means, the Lakers will naturally not be at a disadvantage, and the god's backlash can be regarded as the most lethal move in the Purple and Gold Army.

As for Li Chen's three points, needless to say, Lei Allen is really not his opponent if he is simply compared to shooting, after all, one is a person, the other, well, the other is also a person, but this person is not a person in the ordinary sense, because he has a body that has been datad.

At 26:28, the first quarter between the two teams ended with the sound of various muscles colliding, and the Lakers led by two points. Obviously, the anger of both sides in today's game is a bit big, Bynum was burdened with two fouls in a single quarter, one of which was to hug the leather team who tried to dunk directly to the ground, which can be regarded as avenging Li Chen's revenge just now.

The truth that he had been angry for a long time almost didn't fight, but fortunately, Garnett stopped him in time, otherwise it was really unclear what would have happened in the end. What made Pierce even more angry was that Bynum's dangerous move was only an ordinary foul because of the Lakers' home-court advantage, and the Celtics made two free throws.

Truth said that he couldn't accept this result at all, he didn't think that Bynum's action was any different from what he had just done, why he was fouled by a technical foul while the other party was just an ordinary foul, and his dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty scale led to an argument between the leather team and the referee.

"Sir, I warn you, you've already had a technical foul on your back, and you'll have to be ejected if you do it again, and it's me who holds the power, and if you don't restrain yourself, I don't mind giving this to you as a Christmas gift, and I'm sure you won't want to receive it!"

The referee said with a blank face that Pierce's attitude made him very unhappy, and in the era of zero tolerance in the NBA, there are still people who dare to stand up and question his decision in the face of the world's condemnation, which makes the referee very dissatisfied with his deterrent.

However, considering the importance and attention of today's game, he thinks it is better to give the opponent another chance, if Pierce still doesn't know how to accept it when he sees it, then the referee has to say that it is official.

"You...... Hmm......" Garnett covered Pierce's mouth, the wolf king was afraid that his teammates would say something that should not be said, and he couldn't care about face, so he grabbed Pierce's arm and dragged it back, and at the same time carefully said to the referee, "I'm sorry, sir, please forgive him for being unreasonable, we fully respect this punishment!" ”

The apology of the big-name star made the referee very useful, "This is the gap between the star and the star, or the wolf king has the demeanor of a big name and knows how to respect the rules of the league, it seems that the rumor that the Celtics won the championship by hugging the wolf king's thigh is indeed true." With Pierce alone, it's no wonder that the Celtics have always been a fish belly before! ”

Pierce didn't know what the referee was slandering him, otherwise I don't know if Xiaoqiang would pull out a kitchen knife on the spot and split this guy alive.

"Paul, you coward!" After pulling Pierce back, Doug Rivers was about to take a break from the truth and calm his fiery mood, but Garnett's words completely disrupted his intentions.

Eldest brother! What are you doing here, I don't know if Pierce is angry, and you still stimulate him so much, don't you really want to win, Reeves looked helpless. Sure enough, the reaction of the leather team was exactly what he expected.

"What do you mean?" Rivers believes that if Garnett can't answer this question well, then without others, his side may start infighting, and now, Rivers can only hope that Garnett can say why, otherwise the Celtics will really be finished, and the impact on the entire team is immeasurable if there is a conflict on a key occasion like the Christmas war.

The wolf king was not intimidated by Pierce's momentum, and said to Pierce with a look of contempt, "Paul, you are a coward, are you afraid that you will not be able to win this game, you are afraid that others will laugh at your lack of ability, so you try to provoke the referee to make him order you to leave the field, so that it can be as you wish, even if the team loses, you can also shirk it because it is the referee's responsibility, not your fault." ”

"You're afraid of failure, you're afraid of being ridiculed, so you've abandoned the responsibility on your shoulders, and now you're thinking about how to get out of this hellish place, because you're scared, right? You're a coward"! Garnett's words were so loud that if Pierce couldn't understand it, then the wolf king could only express helplessness.

"No, I'm not scared because ......" Pierce didn't want to be looked down upon by his teammates, and he tried to explain why.

"If you're not afraid, then you win this damn game! Let those who look down on you look at you. You call the truth, you have to have this attitude: 'I am the best player in the world, if any of you are not convinced, stand up and win me, if you don't have that courage, then shut up!' 'Tell me, who are you?' The Wolf King said this almost with a roar.

“i-am-the-truth! (I am the truth!) Pierce's answer was sonorous, the spirit of the Green Army returned at this moment, yes, he was the truth of the Celts!

"Kevin, you're so smart!" Doug Rivers saw that Garnett had successfully aroused Pierce's fighting spirit, and the happy old man couldn't wait to pick up his beloved big bald head and kiss him twice.

The Green Army Captain, who had regained his composure, showed an all-star demeanor in the next game, breaking through, hitting back, jumpers, throwing, and the leather team's rich offensive means hit Li Chen, who was opposite him, miserable.

Paul Pearce, who joined the NBA in 1998, can be regarded as one of the most well-rounded offensive masters in the league, with accurate three-point shots, seemingly loose but consistent breakthroughs, and miraculous shoulder shake feints, known as the league's first back-to-back shot.

In the 2007-2008 season, Pierce led the team to defeat the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Detroit Pistons in the playoffs to advance to the finals; and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant with a total score of 4-2 to win the championship, and Pierce himself won the Finals Most Valuable Player of the season.

The question we can ask about how good Pierce is, how many offensive styles can you name? Then, let me ask you another question, is there any way you cite that Pierce doesn't understand?

There is no truth in all offensive aspects of the inside and outside fronts. 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? You can't find offensive skills that he doesn't know, and he's perfected everything he can score.

Therefore, in the face of such a Pierce, it is understandable that Li Chen was blown up, if it were not for Kobe and Gasol's all-out offense, the Lakers would probably not be able to maintain a two-point advantage, of course, this tandem with Li Chen is also inseparable, as well as his shooting, even if the leather team has tried their best to defend, but a group of people from the Green Shirts still had to give Li Chen three fouls.

"Bryant, that guy is too difficult to deal with, he seems to have countless scoring methods, no matter how you can't prevent it, and his physical fitness is still stronger than me, you can think that I am admitting defeat, but this is a fact, I will be better than him in the future, but now I really can't prevent him, if we don't take a change of defense, it will be very bad for us to go on like this."

Li Chen's sincerity made Kobe dispel the idea of scolding, indeed, the other party's words are correct, and Kobe Bryant knows best how much ability his little brother has, after all, the other party is his golden sparring partner.

Although Li Chen's defensive ability is constantly improving, it is obviously not enough to defend an offensive master like Pierce. It's just that Li Chen's attitude is very strange in Kobe's opinion, what about his pride? Kobe, who has never only wanted to win, can't understand the special idea of his younger brother at all.

As if seeing Kobe's thoughts, Li Chen said calmly, "It's true that he is better than me now, but I am only 19 years old, I have enough time to improve myself, and one day, I will definitely be able to completely surpass him, and I also believe that this day will not be far away, I am convinced of this." But now, for the sake of the team's victory, I feel we need to change accordingly, and I know that you don't want to lose this game, and I don't want to either! ”

Before Kobe Bryant could react, the old monk's interjection instantly broke the peace between the two, even if the Zen master's expression was as calm as ever, but this could not hide the huge shock he was hiding under the lens.

"If he is really only 19 years old, then this little guy is terrible, his mind is maturing day by day, it is hard to imagine what height he can reach in the future, perhaps, he can really surpass that person!"

In the old monk's view, those who dare to admit defeat are more courageous than those who never admit defeat, although the latter can move forward with the spirit of not admitting defeat, but a failure only brings them more determination of their minds.

And the people who dare to admit defeat are different, they also do not want to fail, but they dare to accept failure, so every failure is a great wealth for them, their minds have an unimaginable firmness from the beginning, any failure will only make them stronger, and one day, they will climb the highest mountain.

Will Li Chen reach that height? Although it was a little strange for him to attach special importance to this rookie, the old monk had to admit that he really believed that his disciple had that ability, and all he had to do was to stay aside and watch him grow quietly.

"Coach, what do you think of what Lee said?" Looking at the attitude of the old monk, Kobe Bryant felt that the coach probably wanted to make some changes, not to mention, even he didn't think that Li Chen's words were wrong, Li Chen couldn't prevent Pierce is a fact, the Lakers must recognize this, if he is still asked to carry out the task of defending Pierce, this will be a very bad situation for the Lakers!

"In the second quarter, we made a change, when the time comes, let Trevor take Fisher's place, Bryant, you take over the task of dribbling the ball through half court, and the task of defending Rondo is also handed over to you, and Pierce's defense is handed over to Trevor, not to completely prevent death, but to limit his play to a certain extent, at least to make him feel that scoring is not so easy."

"As for the rest of Lei Allen, hand it over to Li to defend, you are all shooters, although Lei Allen also has other means of scoring, but I believe you can defend him well, tell me, can you do it?" In the end, the old monk turned his head to look at Li Chen.

"No problem, the task of defending Ray Allen is given to me, if I let him shoot a three-pointer, then I will definitely pay him back, in short, this time I will not drag the team back!" Now that the old monk had handed over Lei Allen, who seemed to be the best defense, to himself, Li Chen had no reason to be afraid, and he swore by what he said.

"Okay, second quarter, come on, everyone!" Mobilization as always!

"Come on!" The Lakers and Celtics will go toe-to-toe again.
