Chapter 16: The End of the Competition

The first quarter was finally over, with the score at 34:30 and the 76ers leading by four points.

"Huhu......" Pierce sat on the bench panting, he looked at Luke, who had nothing to do on the other side, and whispered, "Damn, why is that guy so powerful, and his physical strength is so good, what a pervert." “

Walker looked at Pierce tired like this, and his heart was cool, see if you dare to underestimate me in the future.

And Pitino's face was cloudy, watching the team's ace star tired like this, he couldn't bear it, he thought about it, there was no need to tire the team's core for a preseason game. So he said, "Paul, don't play the next game." ”

"No, coach." Pierce retorted, "I haven't done my best. ”

"No, Paul, it's just a preseason game, there's no need to work so hard." Pitino persuaded.

"But it's a game, isn't it? I don't like to lose. "Besides, I haven't done my best yet!" ”

"Okay," Pitino said, looking at his disciple's appearance, "you can go up." But if you don't have the stamina, you're going to come down immediately. "Yes, Mr. Coach."

The other side of the pitch. Luke is also not tired, but his body is better after being reborn, and he is not as violent as Pierce, but he is still very tired, after all, Pierce is not so easy to defend. Even if Luke studied at home with the team for so long, he couldn't completely defend against Pierce (which is purely overthinking, completely guarding against Pierce?). Who is the only one in the league who can do it? Umpire! ), still allowed him to score close to 8 points and also hitched a foul. Not so much worth it.

"How? Lad. Larry said, "I'm tired." That's the NBA, and there's no one who isn't a genius. You're just the most ordinary one. But as long as you work hard, it won't be difficult to reach his level. Larry pointed at Pierce.

"I don't want to be like him." Luke said and stood up.

"Why?" Larry was a little upset that the rookie retorted to him.

"Because I don't have a big ass like his." While talking, he was still making movements.

"Hahahaha......" The 76ers' bench was laughing.

"This kid." Larry smiled too, "It's good to be able to set the mood." ”

"Alright, boys, get ready to play." Larry said.

"Yes." The man headed by Luke took to the court.

I really don't know what kind of good fortune brought Luke to the Philadelphia 76ers, and this year's championship is hopeful. Larry thought to himself.

The game is on again.

The 76ers possessed the ball, Luke launched an offense, directly started to break through Pierce, ignored Anthony Walker, and directly stuffed the ball to Big Ben, who didn't waste the opportunity to score two points with a violent dunk.

Offensive and defensive swapping. Celtic possession. It was Luke who defended Pierce, Pierce controlled the ball, and Luke posted it.

"Why don't you take a break when you're so tired?" Luke said as he saw Pierce dribbling while panting.

"Huhu, don't worry about it." After Pierce finished speaking, he took out his best back shot and began to attack.

"Here we go again." Luke had no choice but to defend himself.

At this time, Pierce had no strength, and Luke didn't have much strength to defend at all.

Pierce felt that the power behind him had not diminished, "Damn, why is this kid's strength so strong." ”

After a few hits, he had no choice but to turn around and shoot, but his body was already unstable, and the shot was confiscated by Luke.

"Attack!" Michael rushed to the front, Luke passed the ball directly to him, and Michael added two points with a violent dunk.

But Pierce couldn't, he couldn't move because he had just forced a shot and twisted his foot. The game was aborted.

The Celtics' team doctor arrived soon. Seeing Pierce like this, he quickly carried out emergency treatment and sprayed painkillers. He was about to carry Pierce back to the locker room, but Pierce shook off the team doctor's hand and walked up to Luke, "Boy, I won't show mercy next time we meet." "I know," Luke said with a smile, "and I'm not going to show mercy." ”

"Okay," Pierce said satisfied, "goodbye." With that, he limped back to the locker room.

The audience stood up and applauded Pierce, and Americans all worshiped heroes and showed respect for even mortal enemies.

The once-interrupted game began again.

But the Celtics are left with only one star on the court, Anthony Walker. With Luke and Big Ben watching him, he had no chance to score at all and was replaced after a while.

Luke is similar, Larry thinks that the purpose of this workout Luke has been achieved, so he let Luke play for more than 3 minutes, brush up on the stats for a while, and then be replaced by Aaron McGee to rest.

Although Luke went down, the 76ers' offense did not weaken, but became stronger. The score was fixed at 105:85.

It was Michael and Aaron McGee who broke out, combining for 53 points in the next game, blowing up the Celtics' guard line, and Raga also scored 12 points. Bryan also had 10 points and three assists, and Ben Wallace showed his quality in the second half as a blue-collar player - with only six points, but he had 23 boards, seven blocks and five steals in the game. With only 2 fouls and no turnovers (nonsense, he only grabs rebounds), he can be called the all-around king.

And Luke played 15 minutes, with 8 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 foul, and 1 turnover. But it's still a little dimmer compared to others.

But Luke thinks it doesn't matter, as long as the team wins.

But the players didn't forget their heroes and were cheering. Only George Lynch's face is not good, and he knows his starting position is gone. But he didn't feel much sad, he knew that the NBA was a business league, and only those who played well could play as starters. And this year's goal is to win the championship, and the team needs to be united to succeed; I am a veteran player, so I shouldn't make this mistake, not to mention that Luke's popularity is so good, and he can't make any waves. He soon joined the celebrations.

The 76ers unwittingly dodged a storm that was enough to turn the players upside down.

"Overall we played well today and showed a strong and unyielding spirit. In the first quarter, the two sides played hard. However, the second quarter of the game took a turn when Pierce left the court with an injury, and Pitino had to replace Anthony Walker in order to protect the only star player left, so the court was one-sided.

The best player in the game was Ben Wallace, whose stats were amazing, and the Magic and Pistons were going to cry, followed by Michael and Aaron McGee, who combined to score 53 points and lay a solid foundation for the team's victory. Of course, we can't forget about Luke Wharton. Luke's stats aren't pretty, but he doesn't play much and puts on a great dunk for us, which is sure to be in the top 10 this year. He's a rookie and one of the best small forwards in the league, and that's a pretty good statistic. I'm looking forward to seeing what he's doing in the future. Okay, that's all for today's game, I'm your dear commentators Barkley and Smith, and we'll see you next time. ”

ps: I'm really in a bad mood today, but I still thought about it, and I still want to have another chapter, but there's only this one chapter, I'm sorry. I hope you guys enjoy it.
