"Coach, what do you think this dress looks like? Am I going to be like a father? ”

On March 11, 2003, the Boston Celtics team training hall, the atmosphere in the Boston Celtics training hall today is a little wrong, now there is no busy and the shouts and wheezing sounds of the players training hard in the past, and at this time, the boss of the Boston Celtics Maddie is extremely strange wearing a tuxedo suit standing on the side of the training field, and at this time the Boston Celtics players and coaches are all around the Boston Celtics young forward who looks extremely excited. ,!

"Haha, Tracy, you're dressed weakly, I haven't heard of any father who would want you to dress like this to welcome the child who is about to be born" Before Zhuang Fei could answer, Arenas, the backup guard of the Boston Celtics who was standing on the side, was the first to say his thoughts, and when the backup guard said his thoughts, it was rare that all the other Boston Celtics players were on Arenas's side, which also made Maddie's face a little embarrassed, At this time, Zhuang Fei was standing aside and wanted to laugh.

Tomorrow early morning is the day when the daughter of Maddie, the big boss of the Boston Celtics, was born, the NBA player who is only 24 years old is also a person who is about to be a father, and in this case, the Boston Celtics boss is asking for the opinions of the Boston Celtics players and coaches, it is obvious that this player attaches great importance to his first child, and even in Zhuang Fei's opinion, he is extremely nervous, and he can even say that he doesn't know what to do. And for Zhuang Fei, it is impossible for him to give too much advice to this disciple of his own.

"I think you should ask Stephen, he is the most experienced" Zhuang Fei finally smiled and relieved Maddie, and Stephen Green was also a little embarrassed after hearing Zhuang Fei's teasing, because his wife was pregnant again not long ago, and after Jeff Green, the Boston Celtics will welcome his second child.

Yesterday the Boston Celtics just beat the Spurs, and today Maddy's first child is about to be born. At present, after defeating the Spurs, the Boston Celtics still occupy the first place in the league with a 57-8 record.

On March 12, 2003, the Boston Celtics hosted the New Orleans Hornets who came to challenge the ninth in the West, the current situation of this team is very bad, especially after the recent counterattack by the Lakers, this team has some signs of collapse, in fact, in terms of the current strength of this team, they are fully capable of obtaining a higher ranking, whether this team's Byron Davis or Eddie Jones or David Wesley and Margroyle are a group of powerful players, As long as this team can correct its mentality, it is not difficult to re-enter the top eight in the West, but it is disappointing that this team is now lacking a breath of energy, an indomitable spirit, this team is a bit like a knight without penny Hardaway, although the team has a lot of strength, but there is no player who can really press the lineup, which is also an important reason why their results have not been able to break through.

And in this game, it is clear that the Hornets are looking forward to rebounding in this game, although the team has been a little sluggish for a while, but if it can beat the Boston Celtics from now on, it is not impossible for the team to get back on its feet and catch up with the Lakers or other top eight teams in the West.

It's just that in this game, although Zhuang Fei and the Lakers have always been enemies, there is no intention or behavior to disgust the Lakers, in this game, Zhuang Fei is impossible to do anything hastily on his home court in order to maintain a slight advantage over the Grizzlies, but it is a little difficult for the Boston Celtics that the team's boss Maddie is now keeping vigil in the hospital because of the imminent birth of his child. Then asked Zhuang Fei for leave to be able to go to New Jersey on March 13 to play away games but to accompany his girlfriend, but in the end, Maddie's request was directly rejected by Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei directly gave the team boss two days off, according to Zhuang Fei, the current situation of this player is not suitable for appearing on the court at all, he does not want a player in his team who is extremely inattentive, and the current Maddie is naturally difficult to focus on the game, In this case, it is better not to use him.

And for Zhuang Fei, this game with the Hornets, even if there is no Maddie, he is absolutely sure to beat this team, and in this game Maddie was absent because of the child's affairs, and the Boston Celtics made adjustments in the game lineup, Zhuang Fei in the team's starting lineup in this game Yao Ming, Xiao Ao and James Posey and Jackson and Arenas lineup, in the absence of Maddy, Zhuang Fei handed over the responsibility of the team's outside main attack to Arenas.

This game is not too difficult for the Boston Celtics who are playing at home, and this game is the second game of the Hornets' away back-to-back, in this case, as long as the Celtics themselves do not have problems, there is basically no problem in winning the Hornets.

And in fact, when this game began, Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics did not have too many problems in this game, after Arenas rose to the starting lineup of the Boston Celtics in this game, the Celtics' offense was not affected too much, and James Posey and Arenas have largely strengthened their roles in this game, it can be said that James Posey and Arenas organize an offense, and they can replace Maddie's function to a certain extent in terms of function. In this case, this game is always in the hands of the Boston Celtics, coupled with the Boston Celtics' natural restraint attribute for the Hornets, it can be said that the Hornets who came away from home originally came with great expectations, but after leaving, they were extremely disappointed.

Because the final score of this game was 109-83, the Boston Celtics defeated the Hornets by a large score of 26 points at home, and James Posey and Arenas, who became the two cores of the team in this game, contributed 20 points, 7 rebounds, 109 assists and 36 points respectively, and after the game, Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics players also made a call to Maddie, who was in the hospital, and Zhuang Fei also smiled a little wry when he learned that the small forward was still waiting anxiously, Although Maddie was given two days off, Zhuang Fei was also very much looking forward to the team boss being able to go away with the team, but now it seems that it is impossible for this player to follow the Boston Celtics to the away stadium now. This is also a great regret for Zhuang Fei.

After defeating the Hornets at home, the Boston Celtics' record became 58-8, and it can be said that the 60-win mark of the season is getting closer and closer, and what makes Zhuang Fei extremely happy is that when Zhuang Fei came to the team's office early in the morning on March 13, he picked up the newspaper that had just come out and learned that the Grizzlies, who are currently second in the league, lost to the Trail Blazers, who came to challenge the sixth in the West, with a score of 93-98 on their home court. It can be said that as far as the current situation stands, the Trail Blazers have almost become the nemesis of the Grizzlies.

"Now the bottom four in the Western Conference playoff region are starting to fight hard because of the Lakers, and on the other hand, after losing Rashid Wallace, although Big Ben can control the team's interior line many times, but this team is still extremely difficult to face such an arch and shot combination as Randolph and Gasol, it seems that the interior of this team is not as good as their results" Zhuang Fei put down the newspaper in his office and said with a smile, this grizzly bear is now transforming to the periphery, It can be said that the players who can attack this team now, whether Carter or Reed or Terry and Billups, are all outside players, in this case, many times when this team plays a small lineup, Carter will even appear in the No. 4 position, so when Zhuang Fei watched the video of this team's recent games, the team's style of play reminded Zhuang Fei of the NBA championship Heat team of the year before he traveled back to the United States. While this style of play was successful in later generations when there was a lack of big men, it is still difficult for the team to face the likes of Gasol and Randolph, even if the team has a big base.

Of course, Zhuang Fei is now lamenting the Grizzlies' loss, and the gap between the Grizzlies and the Celtics has widened after losing the game, which is extremely beneficial to the Boston Celtics in this case.

It's just that Zhuang Fei didn't get excited for long, on the evening of March 13, Zhuang Fei brought the Boston Celtics players to New Jersey back-to-back, but they lost to the Nets very painfully, and once again gave up the advantage in hand.

And the reason why the Boston Celtics lost this game was not because of Maddy's absence, but because the Boston Celtics players collectively hit the 'syndrome' of back-to-back in this game, and the back-to-back syndrome is basically encountered by every team in the NBA, and the main symptom is reflected in the team's extremely low shooting rate on the periphery of the game, and the players' mood is not high, and this game is like this for the Boston Celtics, and finally it was defeated here by the fourth Nets in the East, which is currently in excellent form. The Boston Celtics scored 91 points in this game, although the score was not small, but the shooting rate reached an astonishing 36, while the opposite Nets scored 102 points, and the shooting rate also reached 45, it can be said that the Boston Celtics were kicked by the Nets on the road in this game.

And at the time of this game, the Boston Celtics schedule did not let Zhuang Fei have too much time to review the loss, on March 15, the Boston Celtics came to Detroit to challenge the Pistons, who are currently ranked sixth in the East. The competition for this year's Eastern Conference playoffs is mainly reflected in the competition between the Pacers, who are seventh in the East, the Bulls who are eighth in the East, and the 76ers who are ninth in the East, for the Pistons, as long as they do not collapse in the next schedule, this team basically does not have too many problems, but for this team's results, the management of the Pistons is not very satisfied, and there have been rumors in the outside world that Pistons General Manager Dumas and head coach Carlisle are full of contradictions, The young coach who got the Pistons back on track is now in danger of being fired at any moment.

Of course, Carlisle's current situation in the Pistons is not very good, but this situation does not affect the Pistons' combat effectiveness, because Carlisle only has a conflict with the team's management, and the very powerful young head coach has basically completely closed the Pistons after two seasons, which is why it can challenge the Pistons boss Dumas.

As an NBA head coach, being able to get the support of a team's players is also an extremely difficult achievement to achieve, at least at the moment in the NBA, I am afraid that more than half of the head coaches in the NBA do not have the full support of the team's players.

And in this game, the Pistons team fighting at home also gave the Boston Celtics a great challenge, the shooting rate of the two teams in this game is not high, the Boston Celtics are playing away, the shooting rate is unlikely to be high, and because of the last loss and the return of Maddie, the Boston Celtics defensive enthusiasm in this game is also extremely high, which also makes the Pistons a little weak on the offensive end, and finally in this extremely fierce defensive battle, the Boston Celtics defeated the Pistons 81-71 on the road.

After defeating the Pistons, the Boston Celtics then visited Indianapolis on March 17 to challenge the Pacers who are seventh in the East, and in this game, the Pacers are now unable to let the Boston Celtics easily pass for the playoffs, but the Pacers were severely restrained by the Celtics in any way, and in the end, the Pacers lost to the Celtics 97-106 in this game. The Celtics also scored their 60th win of the season after beating the Pacers, and the Boston Celtics, who are currently 60-9, have completed one of the toughest stretches of the March schedule, and the team can also return to Boston for a few more days of rest.

It's just that not long after the Boston Celtics returned to Boston, the whole United States and even the world were shocked by a piece of news.

The United States and Iraq are fighting. (To be continued)
