As the time of Boston has passed October to November, the largest city in the United States has also begun to usher in its own climate change, although the current Boston is not as snowy as Minnesota, but the early morning fog is also revealing a slight chill.
"I really didn't expect our team to play such a good game in New York, but unfortunately, I thought the team would lose but didn't watch it"
It's a cold morning in Boston, but as one of the largest metropolises in the United States, the crowds are already starting to get high. Some busy office workers have already started their new day at work.
"yes. Actually won by 48 points, do you know that our team has won such a big victory before? Including when Larry and Bill were there."
For many busy Bostonians, one of the most important things to do in the morning is to pick up the latest newspaper when they pass by the newsstand on their way to work. Then look at some of the newspapers about the current state of the team that has sunk.
Because of the team's miserable record in recent years, more and more people don't know about it all the time going to North Shore Gardens or watching the team in front of the TV, but even so. For the team's concern and some expectations for the team, these people still have.
"Hehe, I watched yesterday's game, Boston played fantastic, especially the Chinese kid we got in exchange for is really great, the newspaper said that he is Kevin's apprentice, then he is our new Boston McHale, but from now it seems that his arms are not as long as McHale, and Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal are also very good. These two Timberwolves players are really championship-caliber players, and now it seems that we have brought in quite a lot of players in the summer, and more importantly, we are still young. Our team looks brighter than ever"
At this time. Basically, every newsstand on Boston Street was crowded with people in suits and bags talking to each other, and some were even talking about something in a motivating way.
In recent years, there have been few such scenarios in Boston. [ ] In the past, they bought the newspaper at most and glanced at it in a hurry, and saw the headline in the newspaper read: Boston Loses Again, and then they threw the newspaper in the trash can next to it and hurried away, but now these people are looking at the words that boast about their favorite team, word for word. …,
Boston's nearly 50-point win not only brought courage to Boston's players, but also brought a new feeling and expectation to these Boston fans who were at a low point after a brilliant experience.
"Haha, the New York Times is so funny, I remember beating us yesterday, and now what? It's all excuses for being too accurate on three-pointers and too high on the inside, but I love these excuses when I see these guys."
In fact, there has always been a faint sense of inferiority complex in the hearts of these Boston fans, which is why many newspapers criticize or accuse their team, and these people will not defend the team too much, and even sometimes look on the sidelines, but this time many people have begun to side with Zhuang Fei and his Celtics.
"yes, Coach Z's words at yesterday's post-game press conference were so cool, 'As long as I lead the team, the Knicks will never beat us', haha I think that arrogant and idiotic Knicks general manager must be mad, but this kind of Coach Z is the top coach in the crazy league that we are familiar with, I swear, I have fallen in love with this guy"
Although many people are now in the neighborhood for their morning work, these people are not in such a hurry as before, but they are all chatting more and more happy, which makes Boston's newsstand a great wonder in the city today.
"Well, I absolutely this is the strength of Coach Z, what about the youth of our players? What if the strength is not enough? The Minnesota Timberwolves weren't much better than us back then, but they are now the defending champions of the league, and I think the Chinese will lead us to this miracle, and I vow that I will not fall into a Boston game in the future, and the Boston revival will start today, and I will witness all the moments of the Boston revival."
"Me too, I will never miss a Boston game in the future"
The news of the Boston Celtics' 48-point away win over the second-place New York Knicks in the East on November 3 didn't just make a splash in Boston the next day, the news even appeared directly on the front lines of the sports pages of all newspapers, and some newspapers even reported it in the top headlines of their own newspapers. And the battle between the Grizzlies and Bucks for the top spot in the East at the same time was somewhat completely overlooked.
Before the game, there were already disturbances that made many people look forward to it, and even many people began to look forward to the biggest fiasco in the history of Zhuang Fei's coaching, and before the game started, the general manager of the New York Knicks, Dolan Jr., was crazy. The general manager said that he wanted to beat Boston by more than 24 points, although the words of the rich second generation are a bit arrogant, but many people agree with this statement, and it is normal for a team that even the Bulls lose by 12 points to the Knicks by 24 points.
It's just that no one really thought that the Boston Celers, who were not favored by anyone before the game, gave everyone a 50-point victory. This is a nightmare for many journalists who have already written their press releases in advance and then left work early. Of course, they also believe that Coach Z's big win over the United States will be stimulated by newspaper sales again
Zhuang Fei and his team did not spend the night with the New York Knicks after the game. Under the leadership of Zhuang Fei, the team returned to Boston overnight, and for this team, the last few games have been spent back-to-back, and the first four games have all been back-to-back games. Although these four teams are not considered to be the top teams in terms of team strength, even this makes these Boston players a little tired, so Zhuang Fei also gave the Boston players a half-day vacation after coming back overnight. If they stay with the Knicks for a day, it is estimated that these players will not have a vacation after a long journey. …,
"Zhuang, I watched yesterday's game, it was so exciting"
When Zhuang Fei returned to his office in the Boston Celtics chairman at noon on November 4, Grunsbeck, one of the team's major shareholders, was already waiting for Zhuang Fei in Zhuang Fei's office, and of course, standing next to Glensbeck were two of Zhuang Fei's executive assistants, Danny Angie and Michael Carr.
It was obvious that Zhuang Fei could see those faint colors of ecstasy between the eyebrows of these three people. And it can also be seen that these three people seem to have been waiting for Zhuang Fei here for a long time.
"Thank you, I think we still have room for improvement," Zhuang Fei nodded slightly in the face of the enthusiasm of these three people, and said with a smile, this game may really let these people see the hope of the team's growth and the future path.
In the past, Zhuang Fei was even in a prominent reputation. Even if Danny Angie and Glensbeck trust him again. But these people still have some worries in their hearts, can even Bill Russell and Cardinals revive the team this Chinese?
And some time ago, the Celtics led by this Chinese also made people feel very bad in terms of results. It's just that the appearance of one of the biggest victories in Boston's history has basically dispelled these people's doubts and worries, you must know that Boston's opponent is not an ordinary team, this is Madison Square, one of the NBA mecca, defeated one of the best teams in the East at present, this New York Knicks have been the East powerhouse recently, and even the Timberwolves have not humiliated them so much on their home court in recent years.
So even Carl, who has always been not very good with Zhuang Fei in the past, is extremely excited at this time, after all, this Celtics diehard, the Celtics can humiliate the Knicks so much, which is also what he is willing to see.
"Yes, we still have a lot of room for improvement, Zhuang, I believe your opinion" Grusebeck calmed down a little after a little ecstasy and then shook Zhuang Fei's hand and smiled, while Zhuang Fei shook his head a little helplessly.
Zhuang Fei really didn't think that a game would have such a big impact on Boston, although this game won a lot, but it was only a regular season, and from the current overall point of view, Boston's record is 4 games, 2 wins and 2 losses, such a result is currently tied for eighth place, in terms of overall results, it actually does not make people feel that this Celtics have some amazing changes.
However, the team's current atmosphere also makes Zhuang Fei a little happy in his heart, maybe now he can completely use the team's current atmosphere to completely lay the foundation for Boston's victory, and it can also let the Boston Celtics players grasp the rhythm of victory, in Zhuang Fei's heart, only continuous victory can make players get used to winning and then create more losses.
So after answering Boston, Zhuang Fei focused on a game on November 5, on November 5, the Boston Celtics will play at home against the Milwaukee Bucks, who are currently fourth in the East, this team is currently 3-1, second only to the Grizzlies, the Nets and the Heat with the same record.
This is also a strong team in the real sense, whether it is from the team's coach George Karl or the team's players with three muskets, these people are first-class in the league, so Zhuang Fei also attaches great importance to this game, and when the team returned to the team on the afternoon of November 4th, he was caught by Zhuang Fei for training, and this game is quite important for Boston, which is on the rise. Maybe the Boston Celtics will set the tone for the season with this victory.
Of course, this game is very important for Boston, and the same is true for the Bucks, the team's record in the first three games is to win all three games, which can be said to be extremely good, as Carl, who has led this team for three years, a large part of the reason why he will reject the Timberwolves this year is because in his opinion, the Bucks have been almost trained by him, and now is the time to start producing results. Even the famous coach made no secret of his contention for the first place in the regular season and the Eastern Conference championship this season at the start of the new season, even the special circumstances of the Grizzlies' journey to the east did not affect his determination. …,
It's just a little hard to accept that at the same time that Zhuang Fei won the Knicks, his team suffered the worst defeat in his coaching history in Vancouver, Canada.
His Bucks actually lost to the Grizzlies by 50 points 55-105 on the road, and what made him even more difficult to accept was that his Bucks only scored 20 points in the entire first half, and if it wasn't for the complete garbage time in the fourth quarter, he even doubted that his team would have scored 50 points.
The Grizzlies that day were terrifying, their defense was simply suffocating, Carl had always considered himself a good offensive coach, and he had always considered his team's three shots to be one of the best outside groups in the league, but in that game, Glenn Robinson led by Ray Allen and Sam Kassel combined for a total of 45 points, none of the three scored 20, and it was even more suffocating when the Bucks, a team that focused on outside offense, shot 2-of-29 from three-point range, the full-time shooting rate is only 22%. And in that game, the Bucks scored only five players on the team, except for three shots, only Tim Thomas and Anthony Mason Jr. scored, and the others didn't score a point.
For the Bucks and Karl, they have always regarded the Grizzlies in the East as their strongest opponent to break through from the East this year, in the previous seasons they have always believed that only the Heat in the East can beat them, but now they have even put the Heat's position under the Grizzlies, which can also be seen that the Bucks attach great importance to this Grizzlies, in their eyes the Grizzlies have been their own mortal enemies this year.
And in the first few games, the Grizzlies and the Bucks have won all of them, so it is not surprising to them who wins and who loses against this sworn enemy, and they are also prepared to lose to the Grizzlies, but for these people, they never thought that they would lose so badly. The suffocating feeling of that game almost made the whole Bucks unable to lift the slightest resistance.
That game was too much of a blow for the ambitious Bucks, and now they desperately need to regain their lost confidence in Boston, which is also a game they can't lose.
