(The gap between them and 50th place is widening.) The fisherman asks for a monthly pass)

"This kid is really crazy, didn't he just win the championship once? Is there a need to show off so much?"

"yes, we've won 16 championships."

In the office of the chairman of the Boston Celtics, several senior executives of the team are all gathered here, and it is surprising that several Boston Celtics executives like Danny Angie, Carl and Stephen Green are all angry, and even Carl, who has always been very cold, is extremely angry at this time, and it is obvious that something has stimulated these people.

On November 28, 2002, the Boston Celtics hosted the Vancouver Grizzlies, and it was a game that was basically the most watched game in the United States before it even started, and it was arguably the real game about the situation in the East this season.

The Boston Celtics are crazy now, the 14-game winning streak at the beginning of the season has made many NBA fans and experts simply fall in their eyes, before the start of the season, these people are not optimistic about the Boston Celtics, the Boston Celtics can stabilize their second place in the East last season is already very good, for the East, no one or team can challenge the status of the Grizzlies. At least the Boston Celtics still have a gap with the Vancouver Grizzlies from the performance of last season's playoffs, especially the Boston Celtics Yao Ming, who was basically scrapped in the playoffs last season.

It's just that under this unfavorable and contemptuous start, the Boston Celtics actually played a terrifying 14-game winning streak. The Grizzlies who are unanimously favored by them are directly pressed under him, and more importantly, a point that went wrong last season, Yao Ming's point has not had too many major problems this season, although the center's shooting rate this season is only 48%, but he can still dominate the game normally, and he can only play soy sauce like last season's playoffs. Not even the space and ability to dominate the game.

Of course, everyone knows that the Boston Celtics are strong right now, but that doesn't mean they're on everyone's page. At the very least, the expert media that predicts that the East will still be dominated by the Grizzlies are still not optimistic about the Boston Celtics, because the opponents this season are generally not strong, and the Boston Celtics had to play well in the first half of last season. Last season, the Boston Celtics even led the Grizzlies by more than 4 wins, but in the end they were still chased back by the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies completed the overtake and played a terrifying 34-game winning streak.

With such a lesson from the past, it naturally strengthens the idea that their Grizzlies can finally counterattack the Boston Celtics, especially last season, when the Boston Celtics lost to the opponent in the direct dialogue between the two teams, so they did not have the upper hand in the direct dialogue with the Grizzlies, no matter how strong the Boston Celtics achieved in the regular season, I am afraid they will not be able to get rid of this view.

That's why the Boston Celtics and Grizzlies have been controversial lately, with supporters of both teams basically saying a lot in their favor, and the debate is no longer limited to the media fight, but also to the fans. Recently, Boston Celtics fans and Grizzlies fans have a strong smell of gunpowder, and in the past two years, due to the popularity of the Internet, it can be said that there are more and more exchanges between fans, and the distance between fans is getting closer and closer. Plus Grizzlies fans have always been the craziest in the NBA. This is true both online and in reality, and although the Boston Celtics fans are not as crazy as the Grizzlies fans, they are definitely not much worse, and in this case, the excitement on the Internet has even made both fans on the news of the American version of CNN.

It's just that what many people didn't expect was that the quarrels and discussions between fans actually involved even the Grizzlies' players, the Grizzlies' main small forward. Artest, who just signed a six-year 39 million contract with the team last season, directly posted a replica of himself holding the championship trophy and showed his championship ring on his blog, and then wrote only one sentence on his blog.

"We're champions now, what about you?"

The meaning of this sentence is already obvious, and everyone knows that this is the Grizzlies' main small forward mocking the embarrassment of the Boston Celtics not having a championship recently, and at the same time supporting the fans of his own team.

Originally, it was best not to get involved in the matter between fans, but after Artest was involved, this matter was also escalated, after Artest, the Boston Celtics began to shout, although the Boston Celtics have not achieved good results recently, but to say that the number and quality of the team's celebrities are definitely not comparable to a small Grizzlies and Artest, after Larry Bird and Russell and a large number of Boston Celtics celebrities came out to accuse Artest of arrogance, It wasn't until Grizzlies head coach Jerry West personally apologized for his players that the matter settled down.

Although this matter has subsided, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams is still very strong, especially the scolding battle between the fans of the two teams on the Internet did not end with Jerry West's apology, and the Boston Celtics fans will not forgive Artest because this incident has subsided.

This is also the reason why several high-level executives of the Boston Celtics are angry now, but at this time Zhuang Fei is a little helpless, Zhuang Fei has not been very concerned about what Artest did, and his insult to the Boston Celtics this season is definitely not the first time he has abused an NBA team or NBA player on his blog. Like Garnett and the Lakers this season, and even the Timberwolves are 'regulars' on this guy's blog.

In Zhuang Fei's mind, this small forward now has some childish temperament, hoping to attract the attention of others and focus others' eyes on himself. As for what means are used, he doesn't care, he will use whatever means can attract more attention, and it seems that the small forward should have discovered that only this can create a topic of saliva that can make the world look at him. In fact, this is a very simple person.

But no matter what Zhuang Fei thinks in his heart, but in the eyes of the current Boston Celtics fans and these celebrities, this guy is the public enemy of the Boston Celtics now, and these people want to deal with this public enemy as soon as possible. Therefore, Zhuang Fei is also very aware that Danny Anji and Karl hope that he can give a guarantee that he will be able to win.

It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei really didn't have much confidence about whether he could beat the Grizzlies at home

"The Boston Celtics and Grizzlies have been buzzing lately, and I absolutely believe it was a fantastic game, Charles. You see, the Boston Celtics fans at the scene were holding posters of Artest's heads, and they also crossed the posters. It looks like this game is going to be fun, but I'll say one thing at a time, it's not good to have a big mouth."

In the press booth at North Shore Garden, the home of the Boston Celtics, TNT's Kenny Smith looked at the Boston Celtics fans around him with a smile on his face and said to his partner Barkley with some amusement. Apparently Smith's last words were addressed to Barkley, and the narrator referred to Artest and Barkley as a kind of person.

"I'm not Ron, I didn't dare say that when I was a player, you know, if I did, Larry Bird would definitely kick me in the ass, and I'm looking forward to having someone in the Celtics come out and kick Ron's ass. I hate to have other people's buttocks as sexy as mine."

In the face of his partner's banter, the big-butted Barkley smiled, as if he didn't see that he was being laughed at at all, but when the Mr. Buckley finished speaking, most of the TNT audience in front of the TV set laughed. The former NBA legend has retired. But it seems to mix well in the commentary world.

On November 28, 2002, the Boston Celtics' home game against the Grizzlies was the focus of today's NBA, and basically everyone's eyes were focused on this game, which is likely to tell everyone who will be the absolute king of the East, or even the entire NBA.

And when Zhuang Fei came out with the Boston Celtics players, more than 20,000 Boston Celtics fans in uniform at the scene gave out overwhelming cheers and applause. This momentum shocked Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics players, and the cheers of this game have been the most terrifying since the beginning of this season. Obviously, this is also the most important thing that the fans attach to the result of this game.

"Hopefully this match we will be able to give the fans a classic game, a game that they will never forget"

Before the game, Zhuang Fei also took the initiative to go to the Grizzlies' bench to give his former disciples Carter and Reed a hug, and also said to his old friend Jerry West, but when Zhuang Fei saw Jerry West, he was a little stunned, because the Grizzlies head coach was very haggard at this time, and it was obvious that he was troubled by the Grizzlies this season. But it is also under control, but after Olajuwon retired, some of the actions of these thorns are somewhat uncontrollable.

Surely the haggard Grizzlies head coach Zhuang Fei also laughed a little in his heart, there are not many coaches who can properly manage Artest, Rasheed Wallace and Billups and Ben Wallace. It's still time for my old friend.

"I hope so, you're in great shape, but we won't admit defeat," Jerry West looked at the smiling Zhuang Fei, and then smiled a little helplessly.

In this game, Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics still lined up the previous starting regular lineup, starting center Yao Ming, power forward Xiao Ao, small forward Maddy, scoring guard Jackson, playmaking guard James Posey, and the Grizzlies are also a regular lineup, the center is Big Ben, the big forward is Rasheed Wallace, the small forward is Artest, the scoring guard is Carter, and the playmaking guard is Billups.

From the beginning of the game, the boss of the Boston Celtics, Maddy, did not face his cousin Carter, and in this game, Maddie did not ask Zhuang Fei to have a one-on-one with his cousin, and then avenge his failure to be blown up by Carter last season.

However, no matter what the reason, Maddie was able to let go of his obsession with Carter in this game, which also made Zhuang Fei very happy, so it can be seen that the new A+ player in the last playoff game of last season is indeed a lot more mature both technically and psychologically.

However, although Maddy does not plan to directly face Carter now, it does not mean that the small forward's fighting spirit has declined, and Zhuang Fei can still see that the Celtics' star is extremely excited before this game.

"Jermaine's jump ball is beautiful, I think in the current NBA, maybe only Garnett and Duncan or Shaq can beat him, Ben Wallace is still a little close, congratulations to the Boston Celtics for winning the first wave of the game."

In the Boston Celtics' media commentary booth, when O'Neal Jr. jumped the ball and won Big Ben, the big-butt Barkley also looked at it, and it was clear that one of the best forwards in former NBA history admired his junior.

The first goal was the Boston Celtics offense, which did not surprise Zhuang Fei, and the Celtics players were ready, so after halftime, the Boston Celtics playmaker James Posey handed the ball to Maddie in the center circle and pulled it away like other Celtics players.

The Boston Celtics' first-goal tactic was that everyone pulled away, and Maddy singled out Artest.

When this formation was opened, the Boston Celtics fans were stunned for a moment, and then immediately let out a shocking cry, it was clear that Maddie was carrying out his responsibility as a team boss, and he needed to defeat the person who provoked the team.

"Will it break through?"

Although Artest often makes stupid mistakes, there are not many such defensive stupid things in the game, and he is also extremely jealous of Maddie, when Maddie slowly dribbles to the top of the arc, the Grizzlies defender has a defensive strategy ready.

It's just that just after Artest stood still, ready to wait for Maddie to break through, the somewhat thin Celtic master in front of him directly pulled out in front of him.

That's a three-point pull!

"Here comes the ass kicker"

In the commentary booth at the North Shore Gardens, Barkley squinted and smiled. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
