Chapter 578: Immature Leader
On April 19, 2003, at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, the Boston Celtics played a game between the Boston Celtics and the 76ers at home. ,!
"Tracy, calm down, he's deliberately provoking you"
Stephen Jackson grabbed Maddy, who was about to step forward and theorize with 76ers defender Ragabel, and then said in a helpless tone, at this time, he didn't want Maddy and Ragabel to have any conflict, last season's playoffs, Ragabel and Jordan's throat lock incident still has an impact, although it was Jordan who defeated Ragabel in the end last season, and the Wizards also destroyed the 76ers, but it is precisely because of this reason, In fact, last season's 76ers dragged the Wizards into the quagmire and life-and-death battles, for many teams in the league, this 76ers is a team that can extremely affect the emotions of others, especially the defensive player of this team, Ragabel, the strongest outside defender cultivated by Coach Z in Wake Forest, is definitely at the forefront of the league in the ability to provoke opponents, and at the beginning of this game, this Ragabel successfully provoked Maddie's anger.
"FVCK, that guy is full of foul language, it's so disgusting, why didn't I find out that this guy is so disgusting before" Maddie was also a little calmer after being pulled by Jackson, he was very familiar with Rajabel, Ragabel and his cousin are brothers, and Maddie used to often mix with the group of people in Wake Forest, it can be said that he knows Ragabel very well, the two are still good friends, and because they are good friends, so Ragabel is very good to Maddie' Family' is also very familiar, in this case, Ragabel was born with the condition of spraying 'trash talk', and because of his extremely close relationship with Maddie, every trash word he said to Maddie's family could directly hit Maddie's heart.
"Tracy, this is the game, this is the war, you are no longer friends, you are enemies, you know, this is normal, you need to find your own way of playing now" Jackson shook his head helplessly after listening to Maddie's complaints, and said, at this time he really didn't know what to say about the boss of his own team, this boss actually thought that Ragabel was still his friend when he arrived on the court, and the foul language in Ragabel's mouth was understood as Ragabel's betrayal of his trust, In Stephen Jackson's opinion, the team boss is too naïve.
"Okay, that's not right, but, sooner or later, I'm going to give that kid a good look, and I dare to beat Laura's idea" Maddie finally said viciously, and then went to the front, and Jackson behind Maddie was stunned, Laura is Maddie's daughter who was just born in March this year, thinking about the reason why Maddie is so angry, I'm afraid that Ragabelle's trash talk involves this ** who is only a month old, when he thinks of this, Jackson also has a cold sweat behind him, this Ragabelle's taste is too heavy, Although he is also a defensive warrior and is not bad at trash talking, he also thinks that he has no way to target a little girl who is only one month old
"What an unexpected start, Kenny, I swear, I never thought this game would be such a development"
In the media commentary booth of Boston's North Shore Garden, TNT's on-site commentator Barkley looked at the two teams that were entangled on the court with an excited look and said with some excitement in a tone of excitement, at this time the former legend of the 76ers has already lost some of his temper.
"yes, the 76ers played bravely in this game, they were not afraid, and we should indeed congratulate them, this is a brave team," Kenny Smith said with a sigh after glancing at his partner. The start of this game was also extremely surprising to him, because the Boston Celtics, who were considered to have an absolute advantage before the game, were now suppressed by the 76ers on their home court.
Of course, this kind of pressure is more about the pressure on the score, and the 76ers' offense in this game is very aggressive, and the Boston Celtics are a little overwhelmed by this team.
"Haha, it looks like the Boston Celtics players have emotions on the court in this game, the team is playing too quickly, it's rare that Coach Z thinks he can really swallow the 76ers in one bite? This is the NBA, no team here will be easily beaten by other teams, especially in the playoffs, Coach Z should probably be more patient, and the Boston Celtics should be the same" The big-ass Barkley was very excited after the game started, and the former 76ers legend naturally supported his parent team, in this case, the 76ers played a competitive game after the opening, which also made Barkley extremely happy.
"Maybe it has nothing to do with Coach Z, now this Boston Celtics is not the usual team" Kenny Smith also looked at the Boston Celtics bench with some concern after Barkley finished speaking, so far, this Celtics is not the young but extremely stable team they are familiar with, it is obvious that this is not because Coach Z is underestimated, because the whole world knows that Coach Z has never behaved like this, in this case, It's only possible that the Boston Celtics themselves have a problem on the court.
The start of this game was very surprising, not only the Boston Celtics fans or the commentators on the scene, but even Zhuang Fei, who really didn't think that his team was held back by the 76ers in the first place.
"Coach, do you think we should call a timeout now? Now Tracy's state is very unstable, and Iverson's pressing of James is also very fierce" Stephen Green, the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics on Zhuang Fei's side, looked at Zhuang Fei and said, the two engines on the court of the Boston Celtics in this game have problems, James Posey is difficult to get the ball under Iverson's crazy pressing, let alone organize the attack, and Maddie on the other side is completely caught in the struggle with Ragabel, in this case, The Celtics' skills and tactics in this game were not played at all, and the team looked very anxious and chaotic.
"That's it for the time being, let's take a look first" Zhuang Fei frowned, thought for a while, and finally said, and after hearing Zhuang Fei's words, Green also nodded. At this time, there is still a period of time before the official timeout, for now, although the Boston Celtics are a little chaotic on the court, but it is still within the controllable range, at this time, the Boston Celtics really do not need to be too flustered, because it is completely unnecessary, and Green secretly settled down when he thought of this.
Although Zhuang Fei is now looking at the court with a cold expression, although he is not very worried about the team's current backwardness on the court, he is a little unhappy about the appearance of the team's players on the field.
Of course, he can clearly see the performance of the team's boss Maddie on the court, this guy has too many individual singles in this game, and there is no style of the team's brain in the past, and at this time, the other players of the team are actually cooperating with him, and these people do not have the slightest sense of urgency on their faces, it is obvious that for Maddie's unusualness, these Celtics players do not have a sense of crisis, and even think that it is nothing, this is the most naked contempt of these players for the 76ers, If this team is facing the Grizzlies instead of the 76ers, Zhuang Fei absolutely believes that the Celtics players on the court will not watch Maddie Hulai from the side, and even if Maddie is really stimulated, he will not mess around in the face of the Grizzlies.
"Hmph, these guys are really scolding," and finally Zhuang Fei looked at the man on the court who was forced to rely on Ragabel from outside the three-point line to the basket, and in the face of Van Horn and Ragabel, Maddie also made a layup, and said coldly, and said in his heart, Zhuang Fei didn't have much joy for Maddie's wonderful breakthrough and layup.
In this game, Zhuang Fei was a little angry with the Boston Celtics players on the sidelines, and on the 76ers bench on the other side, the head coach of the 76ers, Collins, was very excited, he hoped that he could win this game, if this game can really be won, this is an absolute boost to the morale of the 76ers players, and it is also to break the myth that the 76ers are unbeatable in the face of the Boston Celtics, in this case, the significance of this game is naturally self-evident for the 76ers. Although Collins wanted to win this game, he didn't think that the 76ers could play so actively at the beginning of this game, and he didn't think that the Celtics actually gave up their integrity and let Maddie go to attack Ragabel, Maddie's strength is very strong, especially his personal ability is definitely among the top few in the league, but it is not easy for this player to really beat Ragabel easily, and even Maddie has much less advantage over Iverson than James Posey for Ragabel's Warriors. It was also after the Boston Celtics began to give up their biggest advantage that the 76ers were slowly pulling away the score.
Although the scores of the two teams opened in the first quarter, the eyes of the long-sided 76ers head coach Collins were getting brighter and brighter. Perhaps for the 76ers head coach, the dawn of victory lies ahead.
"Maybe we can really win this game"
Even after Iverson on the court broke through James Posey and scored under the basket to cause Yao Ming's foul, the guard who threw him to the ground clenched his fists tightly and secretly thought in his heart. (To be continued)
