"Why, why are you so nervous now?"

On the morning of March 10, 2003, before the game with the San Antonio Spurs, the first in the West, Zhuang Fei came to the team's training hall but saw that the Boston Celtics were a little abnormal, especially the situation of Xiao Ao and Yao Ming, who were the main core of the team.

"Still thinking about being beaten?" Zhuang Fei looked at the two mainstays of his team and said with a smile, in the entire NBA, the Boston Celtics' two major interior Yao Ming and Xiao Ao are definitely luxurious, these two interior combinations are also rare All-Star interior combinations in the league now, in this case, there are not many opponents who can make these two people have too many strange emotions before the game, especially in this era when the interior line is becoming more and more scarce, and for these two people, The current leader of the Spurs, Tim Duncan, is one of them, the interior player who led the Spurs this season and can contribute an average of 27+13+++ per game in the last game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies, and in that game, the Spurs' star almost played a terrifying quadruple-double, until the Boston Celtics finally beat the team in four overtimes, obviously for these two, They were a little nervous about the almost god-like interior when they touched the Spurs. Although such nervousness does not necessarily mean fear, it is clear that for these two people, Duncan's shadow on their psychology is somewhat serious.

Of course, whether it is Yao Ming or Xiao Ao, they are a little embarrassed after being told by Zhuang Fei, but after being slightly embarrassed, these two people were directly waved by Zhuang Fei, signaling them to continue training, maybe it was Zhuang Fei's conversation with them that released these two people a little, and these two people were normal in the training after that.

"Coach, it seems that Andre should need to play a more important role in this game" Although it is said that in the next training, the two Boston Celtics will return to normal, but it is clear that Stephen Green does not believe that these two can completely choke Duncan during the game, in this case the Boston Celtics need to be more prepared, otherwise it is very likely that after the last game, after Xiao Ao and Yao Ming committed six fouls, Kirilenko hurried with six fouls, If it weren't for Arenas beating Parker in overtime, the Boston Celtics would have really threatened that game.

Zhuang Fei also nodded at Stephen Green's suggestion, this game is indeed impossible to just arrange Yao Ming and Xiao Ao two points, although these two are strong, but let them fight hard with Duncan all over the court, there will definitely be problems, in this case the Boston Celtics need to have a meat shield, and for the role of meat shield, Kirilenko is not suitable, the last game with the Spurs proved this, but at this time, for the Boston Celtics, there is really only Kirilenko who can make people completely relieved, As for the other Haslem, Green is still a little uneasy, although Haslem's performance this year is very surprising, but this is just a rookie player, and his height is difficult to guard against Duncan, Duncan is not fat, his offensive style is not single.

"Now it seems that we can only do this first," and finally after pondering for a while, Zhuang Fei still nodded.

On March 10, 2003, at Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, the Boston Celtics hosted the San Antonio Spurs.

This game is a veritable battle for the first place in the league, now the Boston Celtics are first in the East, and the San Antonio Spurs are first in the West, and more importantly, no matter who wins this game, then the losing side will be taken the first place, and it can be said that the focus of this battle Vancouver Grizzlies and Kings need to stand by and watch from the sidelines now.

"Greg, you've been amazing this season, I thought you'd run out of luck after that win, but now it's far from it."

Before the start of the game, Zhuang Fei greeted the head coach of the Spurs Po * Vic with a smile, and when Zhuang Fei said this, the face of the head coach of the Spurs also changed suddenly, as the league's top clever head coach, he was naturally very clear about the sarcasm of Zhuang Fei's words, after 1999, the Spurs have been struggling to breathe because of the problem of blood exchange, and many times he has suffered a fiasco in the duel with Zhuang Fei. There are even times when losing 30 or 40 points is not a thing, which is definitely the biggest stain on his coaching career for this extremely proud coach, and in this case, before the game has started, Zhuang Fei has successfully provoked the anger of this old opponent.

"Hmph, I hope you can still have such confidence after this game" Po*vic forced his anger after glancing at Zhuang Fei fiercely, and then turned around and left, and at this time, Spurs head coach McBrown, who had been standing next to Zhuang Fei and Po*vic, was a little embarrassed.

Finally, the assistant coach of the Spurs glanced at Zhuang Fei and then looked back at the angry Po * Vic, the assistant coach of the Spurs also shook his head and turned away, for these two rivals he is really difficult to understand, for his teacher Po * Vich he is extremely clear, this head coach in the NBA can see the head coach is really not much, but that Chinese is definitely the most important one, it can be said that for that Chinese, McBrown knows, The head coach that his teacher admires the most is him, in this case, these two people should become friends, or even if they can't become friends, they can have a good relationship, and even refuse him to understand, once the former 76ers head coach Larry Brown also planned to make peace for these two people, but was directly rejected by his own teacher, and it is precisely because of this that these two people often play this unhappy and parting drama, which also makes him extremely helpless.

"Maybe the best confidant is also the biggest enemy," the Spurs assistant coach finally thought to himself.

And at this time, as the head referee bald Crawford threw the basketball into the air, this eye-catching battle for the league's first place also officially began.

"It looks like this spur is really exactly what we expected."

When the game started, Stephen Green, assistant coach of the Boston Celtics, looked at Duncan, who was leaning on Yao Ming with the ball on the inside, and then said helplessly, he was very clear about the playing style of his teammate in college. Although the height of this Chinese big man is not comparable to himself, Green is also very clear that according to the current situation, this Chinese big man is extremely difficult to face this old and spicy league's top interior line, and it is obvious that Duncan is preparing to kill Yao Ming.

"This is inevitable, for the Spurs, their biggest advantage over us is their inside, and our advantage over the Spurs is our outside, for this game, who can kill the opponent first in the game, then the water can master the commanding heights of the game, for a coach like Po*vic, the safest way is to keep letting Duncan kill us" Zhuang Fei also nodded and said after Green sighed, and when Zhuang Fei finished speaking, he was also a little helpless like the Spurs bench looked, At this time, Po*vic seemed to feel Zhuang Fei's gaze, so Zhuang Fei just turned around for a moment, and the eyes of the two were tightly focused together, and at this time, Zhuang Fei was a little embarrassed and pretended to cough twice, Po*vic glared at Zhuang Fei viciously, and Mike Brown, who had been looking at his teacher on the side, sighed again after seeing the performance of Zhuang Fei and Po*vic. He really didn't have much to say about these two people.

In this game, Po * Vich directly hit the Boston Celtics seven inches, it can be said that the Spurs head coach directly came up and let his ace players catch the Boston Celtics' two big inside lines is a fierce attack, this is the advantage of the Spurs, and in the Boston Celtics Zhuang Fei is naturally impossible not to have any preparation, for Po * Vicchi's old opponent Zhuang Fei has been very vigilant, so before this game Zhuang Fei also had special instructions to Yao Ming and Xiao Ao, if necessary, Even if Duncan is allowed to score, it can't let him kill, and in this case, Po*vic's approach of killing the Boston Celtics inside as soon as he comes up is a bit unsuccessful, of course, it is precisely for this reason that Duncan's score is a lot easier.

Similar to the Boston Celtics inside the outside line, Po * Vich was able to let Duncan kill the Boston Celtics inside, and Zhuang Fei's order to Maddie in this game was to let him play with more Spurs outside the outside of the physical contact, but what made Zhuang Fei also extremely depressed was that Po * Vich actually formulated the same coping strategy with him again in this game.

The two men collided again. (To be continued)
