Chapter 562: Joe Johnson, Do You Change?

In the last ten days, the Boston Celtics have won all seven consecutive games from February 11 to February 22, including six away, and two of these seven games are direct opponents of the Boston Celtics competing for the first place in the league, in this case, the Boston Celtics can win a big victory, which basically makes the originally chaotic competition for the first place in the league seem to become a little clearer, the current Boston Celtics record is 57-7, and it is currently the first in the league. And the second place is still the Grizzlies, this team is currently only 56-7, just one less than the Boston Celtics, and others such as the Wizards, Kings and Spurs have also won their ninth game of defeat, it can be said that these three teams are some distance from the top two Boston Celtics and Grizzlies in the league, although there are many games in the NBA, many times the difference between the two games is nothing, but for a team at this level, Such a gap is definitely decisive enough. ,!

Zhuang Fei returned to Boston with the Boston Celtics with a six-game winning streak, and in the next few days, the team will get a period of rest, and after returning to Boston, Zhuang Fei also gave these extremely tired Celtics players a day off.

It's just that what Zhuang Fei didn't expect was that when he returned to Boston, he got the news again, the buyer who came to buy Boston last time gave an offer again this time, and this offer was even more shocking than the last 800 million.

"Danny, you're saying that guy is going to buy the Boston Celtics for a billion dollars?"

In the office of the chairman of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei looked at the team's deputy general manager in front of him with a stunned face, Danny Angie, when he came to the club just now, this Celtics celebrity once again brought him an extremely shocking message, the buyer who offered 800 million yuan and was rejected directly opened the price to 1 billion this time.

The current billion is not comparable to the billion of the future, maybe in 2012 or 2013, the Boston Celtics can indeed sell the high price of one billion, for the first big club in the history of the NBA league, this price is not too outrageous in the future, but now it is not the future, even if New York and the Lakers are all bought, it will be more than a billion, in this case, the Celtics opened a billion? It's not that people are stupid and have a lot of money or ulterior motives, but for many people, even if they know that others have ulterior motives, it is estimated that they will not hesitate to jump for the billion.

"But in the end, they were rejected by Mr. Grusebeck," looking at Zhuang Fei's sluggish look, the deputy general manager of the team also said with a smile, and at this time, the Celtic celebrity was also in an extremely good mood, and it was obvious that he was happy with Grusbeck's behavior.

"What a group of lovely bosses" In the end, Zhuang Fei also smiled and nodded, although these bosses of the Boston Celtics are a little bit niche compared to other billionaires, even a person like Grussbeck, who is only worth more than 300 million, has become their leader, but the discipline and will of this group of people are very worthy of Zhuang Fei's respect, and it is probably extremely difficult to find such a group of people who are not moved by money in such a commercial society.

"I guess the boss behind the scenes who wanted to buy the Celtics will definitely vomit blood in anger now" Thinking of the lovely bosses of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei couldn't help but think of who was behind this purchase again, but no matter how he thought about it, Zhuang Fei would always think of the rich second generation in his mind.

"Yes, for rich people, the most painful thing is that even if you have money, you can't buy what you want," Danny Anji also smiled and nodded to express his approval of Zhuang Fei.

The Boston Celtics are very lively now, many people's eyes are focused here, but Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics don't have much energy in this regard, after getting Grussbeck's commitment, Zhuang Fei is no longer entangled in who wants to get this team, because it is impossible to get it now, in this case, Zhuang Fei can also wholeheartedly focus on the competition for the regular season this season.

On February 26, 2003, the Boston Celtics welcomed the Houston Rockets, a Western underdog, on their home court.

The Houston Rockets have not shown any hope of rising since they abandoned their star Olajuwon, and for now, the team's boss Francis is a very good player, but such a player can't take on the mission of the team's resurgence, and in this case, the team is still struggling in the Western Lottery this season, even if they get the Pacers' top two leader Jalen Rose and quality center BrandMiller this season, But it is extremely difficult for this team to really blend these people together, especially Jaylen Rose's power has dropped by more than half after losing the ball, and Jay Williams, who was sent away by them at this time, is playing well in the Bulls, and is now competing for the Eastern Conference playoff spots, it can be said that now this rocket is not only very poor in terms of results, but also extremely poor in terms of prestige, and what is even worse at this time is that their head coach Tang Shuai was actually diagnosed with cancer, In this case, this extremely unlucky team is now completely devoid of people to lead, and it is also a mess.

So for such a Houston Rocket, Zhuang Fei also issued a must-kill order before the game, although this rocket has a player like Francis who can kill James Posey and the Boston Celtics, but it is almost impossible for this team to defeat the Boston Celtics by Francis, unless Francis can reach Iverson's level.

Therefore, after the start of this game, the suspense of the game was only maintained for a quarter, in the first quarter, Francis broke out early to help the Rockets to bite the Boston Celtics tightly, and when the two sides changed the second lineup, Arenas, who has been in poor form in the last two weeks, found his form in this game, it can be said that under the double blow of the Boston Celtics main force and the second team, the Houston Rockets almost directly collapsed in the North Shore Garden.

And the final score of this game is also a manifestation of this fact, the Boston Celtics only took three quarters to turn the game into garbage time, and the final score was also extremely terrifying 124-91, the Boston Celtics won by 33 points at home, and the most points in this game are Arenas, who has been in a slump not long ago, this player found his form on the Houston Rockets after a four-day rest, The Boston Celtics bench inside scored 35 points in this game. It also brings his scoring average this season to 20 points per game again.

The Houston Rockets are weak, and the Boston Celtics don't need to put much effort into competing with this team, and two days later, on February 28, the Boston Celtics welcomed a relatively strong opponent on their home court, the Pacers, who are currently in the Eastern Conference playoff sequence.

Larry Bird led the team back to Boston during the game, and for one of the best players in the team's history, Boston fans also gave the team legend the biggest applause before the game began. For Celtics fans, this Mr. Larry Bird is definitely not much worse than Russell or Cardinal in status, and even many fans may not have seen Russell play, but they have definitely seen Larry Bird play, so this is a very special opponent.

Of course, this opponent is a bit special for Boston Celtics fans, and the same is true for Zhuang Fei personally, this is his best friend in the NBA, and his good friend is leading the team to fight for this year's playoffs, but at this time Zhuang Fei is impossible to have other ideas, Zhuang Fei has no intention of staying in this game, and the same is true for the Pacers, the two teams directly hit each other at the beginning, and the Pacers' center Oku has grown rapidly this season, The backup center, who left the Boston Celtics, has averaged 12 points and 3.5 assists per game for the Pacers this season, and can be said to have played a good role as an offensive fulcrum on the inside, and the former Celtics backup center is clearly hoping to prove himself here this game.

It's just that for the Pacers, this game is not destined to belong to them, even putting aside the difference in strength between the two teams, when Zhuang Fei asked Yao Ming to use the forward tactic against Oku, the Pacers' fulcrum was basically half scrapped, and at this time, Larry Bird didn't know what to say after seeing that his interior love on the court would happen like this.

"Oku's athleticism is not as good as Yao Ming's" Zhuang Fei also looked at the situation on the court at this time a little funny, in his previous life, when it came to going around, it was someone else who went around Yao Ming, but this time Zhuang Fei let Yao Ming go around Oku, as far as the current Celtics, Yao Ming, who has not gained weight, is definitely above average among the big men above 2.15 meters in terms of athletic talent.

"Zhuang, I regret it now, I should have asked you directly for that big Chinese man, he is better than Oku in all aspects, if I want to go now, then Joe Johnson and Oku will exchange for Yao Ming, do you agree?"

After this game, Pacers head coach Larry Bird complained to Zhuang Fei depressedly, but at this time, Zhuang Fei felt that his old friend was very interesting.

"He's a real non-sale," Zhuang Fei said with a smile after taking a deep look at Larry Bird, and after getting Zhuang Fei's answer, the Pacers head coach was also dead. This Chinese corner is not easy to dig.
