In the preseason, Wang Shuo, who mainly made the players feel like the game, didn't care too much about the Lakers' game scenes and results.

The Lakers ended their entire preseason season with a 6-1 record.

In the preseason, the only thing that could attract Wang Shuo's attention was the referees' different penalty scales from the past.

You know, in the NBA, the preseason is not just for players to find their game form.

In pre-season, referees will also use their penalty scale to inform teams how they will enforce the law in the vast majority of games that will follow the season.

Overall, the 10/11 regular season will continue to be dominated by the encouragement of offense.

In many blow-up decisions, the referees will be more biased in favor of the attacking team, in order to encourage both sides of the game to play a better game in the game.

Such a penalty scale will undoubtedly be beneficial to the Lakers.

Especially since his career is only in its second year......

Curry, who made a total of 54 free throws in six preseason games for the Lakers.

Wang Shuo noticed that whenever Curry used his rhythm to break through to the opponent's restricted area and make physical contact with defenders, Curry's ability to make fouls seemed to be "forced" to 99.

Before Wang Shuo's crossing, although Curry averaged 24.6 points per game in his career, he only averaged 4.3 free throws per game in his career.

Some say it's because Curry isn't aggressive enough on the court.

But by comparing it with someone's excel, it's not hard to see that the "schoolboy" made a lot of free throws because he was treated differently on the court.

For example, in the 15/16 season, in the eyes of some groups, the NBA praised Curry's season at all costs, and while he averaged 4.6 baskets per game, Curry only averaged 5.1 free throws per game.

In NBA history, Curry ranks first in the number of free throws per game among all scoring champions who have averaged more than 30 points per game in a single season.

And what about James?

Even in the 10/11 season when he switched to the Heat, and the world is known to have been targeted by Stern, James was able to average 8.4 free throws per game while averaging 5.3 baskets per game.

It is true that in an NBA game, when a player gets a free throw, a player's average basket shots per game cannot be completely equated with his aggression on the court, since that shot does not count towards that player's total shots.

But it's clear that Curry's free throws per game don't reach a normal ratio to his average basket shots per game.

After the preseason, through the referee's penalty scale, Wang Shuo has seen the possibility of Curry soaring in the new season.

On the one hand, in addition to the fact that the current "primary school student" is far stronger than the same period in history.

In the Lakers, under his own hands, the tactical bonuses and off-court bonuses he can get are by no means comparable to the "baby-faced killer" who can only go home to Ayesa after being thrown to the floor by his opponent.

For the Lakers, this is definitely good news.

Because of the referee's protection of Curry, in addition to allowing Curry to play more beautiful excel on the court, his risk of injury on the court will also be greatly reduced.

You know, in the NBA, the existence of superstar whistles is precisely to allow these more popular superstars to print money for the league for a long time.

After all, for the vast majority of football fans, no one wants to be in front of the TV when they have to buy a ticket to enter the stadium or wait in front of the TV......

The star he was backing was absent due to injury.

Of course......

Curry's meteoric rise is not entirely a good thing for Kobe, who is bent on winning the regular season MVP in the new season.

After all, when the second leader is too strong......

When the big boss competes for personal honor, it is bound to be affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, after the preseason, Wang Shuo deliberately took the Ao Mei, who is expected to give birth in February next year, to have a meal with Kobe Bryant and Vanessa on the grounds of exchanging experience with the baby.

During the meal, Wang Shuo consciously or unconsciously mentioned the progress made by Curry and DeRozan this summer.

Then, before Wang Shuo could finish speaking, Kobe Bryant told Wang Shuo again with his actions......

In this world, not every player is like Jordan, who needs to borrow from God to have emotional intelligence.

"In the new season, I will control my attacking desire on the pitch and leave most of the game to my team-mates.

I know Stephen and DeMar are players you value and I'll do everything I can to pass on my game experience to them. Kobe Bryant smiled at Wang Shuo.

Hearing this, after scolding Jordan 10,000 times in his heart, Wang Shuo said to Kobe: "But, Kobe...... I also hope that you will win the NBA's regular season MVP in the new season. ”

After staring at Wang Shuo for a few seconds, Kobe Bryant said, "Wang, you are indeed the most special coach in this league.

I've found that no matter which team you coach, you've always been interested in whether or not the stars of your team can get higher individual accolades. ”

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "You know, Kobe, I'm not the kind of coach who likes to take credit from players.

In my opinion, whether the star of the team can win higher individual honors is not only related to the box office of a team, but also a reflection of my coaching ability. ”

After two seconds of silence, Kobe Bryant smiled: "Then I'll do what you said, grab two or three more rebounds on the court, and send two or three more wonderful passes to teammates!" ”

Wang Shuo was happy and said, "This is exactly what I want." ”

In the new season, as the young players in the Lakers grow, Kobe Bryant will have to reduce his unreasonable offense on the court.

And although, in this life, the so-called season average triple-double has long been worthless.

But as long as the Lakers can play the league's No. 1 record, Wang Shuo believes that Stern, who hopes to rely on the Lakers to support the league, will definitely not let the regular season MVP fall into the hands of others.

……

According to the schedule, the Lakers' regular season opener will start on the 26th.

The opponent is the Celtics, whom Stern has carefully selected for the Lakers.

I have to say that Stern does understand traffic.

Due to Xiao Yao's forced "season reimbursement", the Knicks' overall combat power has been greatly damaged, and in the new season, Stern is obviously interested in creating an atmosphere of "yellow-green war".

As a pair of happy enemies in NBA history, the game between the Lakers and the Celtics is full of strong topicality.

Coupled with a visit to the Staples Center, the Celtics players will also get to witness their arch-rivals, the Lakers, raise their championship flags at home......

Stern believes that the Celtics players who will be full of chicken blood will definitely bring the world a high-end regular season opener.

And if we talk about the opening game of the flag-raising ceremony held at the home court of the Knicks that year......

Stern accidentally arranged for the Celtics to be the Knicks' opener opponent.

In this year's opening game, Wang Shuo believes that Stern must have arranged it on purpose.

As for the reason?

Of course, it's because of this time and that time.

At that time, the regular season opener game between the Knicks and the Celtics, because it coincided with the burial of "Cardinal" Auerbach, and Wang Shuo did not have the status he has today, so Stern was worried that he would be self-defeating.

But now......

Even Auerbach's disciples had to accept the fact that it was only a matter of time before Wang Shuo surpassed Auerbach.

So if Celtic are really so unconvinced......

Then they should use their lineup, which has been loaned by James to the "cupping king", in Los Angeles in the opener of this year's regular season, to educate the Lakers fiercely, and to console Auerbach's spirit in heaven with a championship as soon as possible.

Then, wait until next year and let the Lakers head to their home arena to the North Shore Garden Arena for their championship flag-raising ceremony.

What is Competitive Sports?

That's competitive sports.

Win or lose, that's all.

In Los Angeles, before the start of the regular season opener, Wang Shuo asked everyone about their views on the opening game at the tactical preparation meeting.

This summer, because Bird still wanted to cool off himself, Vogel, who was recommended by Bird to come to the Lakers for an assistant coach, thought about it for a while and said, "Stephen has always had the upper hand against Deron in his rookie season.

With the Celtics most likely to use Paul and LeBron as the frontliner, I think we should have Stephen as the main attacker. ”

On the side, Schneider, who felt that the hero had seen a little bit of the same, said: "Paul is 33 years old, as long as Stephen can make more use of his teammates' blocking, it is absolutely impossible for the Celtics' forward line to switch to him in time." ”

Hearing this, Director Lu said with a puzzled expression: "But the Celtics still have LeBron...... He's athletic, Quinn, do you think it's too arbitrary to say that the Celtics' forward line will never be able to switch to Stephen in time? ”

At this moment, looking at Coach Lu, Vogel, who thought that this product was definitely relying on a "py" transaction to become Wang Shuo's first assistant coach, said: "LeBron?

Can Stephen bring him stats or traffic to him?

Believe me, in this game, he must only be thinking about how to limit Kobe. ”

In the tactical conference room, after glancing at Vogel, Wang Shuo couldn't help but sigh.

Because at the moment, Vogel obviously hasn't coached James yet, but can you believe it......

Is he already so bold?

Wang Shuo feels that if this development continues, I am afraid that in the future, most of the coaches in the league will be labeled as "Zhan Hei"?

"My idea is to have Stephen do the opening offense.

But if Celtic bring on Kirk Hinrich in the game, I would consider using Monta to replace Stephen. After a moment of silence, Wang Shuo said to everyone.

Of Wang's three teaching assistants, Vogel, who has the fastest CPU, laughs, "That's a good idea."

Although Cork has always been known for defending the opposition's ball-handling offense, and his usual defensive picks are also very good, he is ...... against Monta

He wasn't going to feel too good. ”

The world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable.

Even if Hinrich has his own unique defensive qualities, in terms of speed, he will struggle to keep up with Ellis, who is currently in his prime.

After a pause, Wang Shuo continued: "Defensively, I plan to prevent the opponent from shooting and letting the opponent break through.

Both Mark and Kevin have strong defensive skills, and as long as we can contain the Celtics' outside play, in my opinion, it doesn't hurt to give them some scoring opportunities on the inside. ”

Regarding the defensive strategy that Wang Shuo decided to adopt, compared to Schneider and Vogel, Director Lu, who has been learning from Wang Shuo for a year how to exchange resources with his opponent, obviously understands why Wang Shuo made such an arrangement.

Wang Shuo was in his previous life, although both Schneider and Vogel were known for being good at defense.

But it is precisely because they are good at defense that they can't fully understand why Wang Shuo deliberately showed some flaws on the court for the Celtics to attack when the Lakers can torture the Celtics with offense.

Fortunately, Coach Lu then proved why he is the first assistant coach of this Lakers team, and after smiling slightly, I saw Coach Lu explain to the two brothers: "Of course we can use defense to deal with the Celtics."

But at what cost? ”

The regular season is not the playoffs.

In the Lakers' regular season opener, especially on this night when the fourteenth championship flag is about to be raised at the Staples Center......

Wang Shuo didn't want the fans to fall asleep en masse because of the boring game process.

Therefore, rather than focusing on defense, Wang Shuo obviously hopes that the Lakers can use their gorgeous offense to bring fans a wonderful offensive battle in this opening game.

……

On the evening of the 26th, the regular season opener between the Lakers and the Celtics officially started at the Staples Center.

Before the game, when the team presented championship rings to everyone, Ellis, who wore the No. 23 jersey of the Lakers, also used a "magnesium powder" in front of the technical table to attract cheers from the fans at the scene.

In an interview, Ellis explained to the world that the reason he threw magnesium powder tonight was just to pay tribute to the Pacers' star power forward, Stoudemire.

"Amare is my favorite player besides Kobe.

The toss was a classic opening move from his time at Phoenix, and I loved him, so I decided early on that I wanted to use it tonight. ”

Seeing this scene, on the Celtics bench, although he has always wanted to turn the opening action of "throwing magnesium powder" into his own label, James, who was wearing the Celtics' No. 45 jersey, still showed an embarrassing but polite smile at this moment.

Eh, wait?

Why did James wear the number 45 shirt instead of the number 23 or the number 6 shirt he once said he preferred?

Belch......

That's because, of course, if you choose to play for Celtic, you have to accept the fact that there are so many legends in the Celtics that there is a relatively small range of jerseys to choose from.

The Celtics' No. 6 jersey has long since followed the retirement of "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell.

If you don't understand, just ask.

In terms of James's younger brother at this moment......

Does he deserve to get Russell to agree to let him wear the Celtics' No. 6 jersey?

As for the Celtics' No. 23 jersey that has been retired?

As the owner of this jersey......

Frank Ramsey is not as legendary as Russell.

Because Ramsey, who retired from the NBA after only 9 years, was only a 7-time NBA champion and was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 1982.

But here's the problem......

At this moment, James has not made an inch of success in Boston, how can he wear the legendary number that the old man Ramsay once wore back then?

Not to mention Jammy, who has always been "arrogant", even if it is James himself, he does not dare to play the idea of these two Celtics legendary jerseys.

Therefore, after some careful consideration, in order to tell the world his ambition of "surpassing Jordan", James decisively chose the No. 45 jersey that Jordan once worn.

Don't ask, just ask, James is not the kind of character who can accept being a Pippen for his teammates.

Even in Wang Shuo's memory, in that round of the finals with the Mavericks, replaced by Pippen, Wade may really be able to lead the Heat to win the championship in the "God Zhao Yun" mode.

You can't be as embarrassed as James who compares James with "Pickled Pepper", DeRozan and others all day long, and James's heart that has always wanted to surpass (touch) more (porcelain) Jordan!

And on the pitch......

As everyone received their own championship rings, the Staples Center also ushered in a climax when the championship flag-raising ceremony was held.

Lakers fans admit that they did get refreshed on a night when they could hold a flag-raising ceremony in front of their mortal enemies.

In the new season, O'Neal, who has officially announced his entry into TNT TV, also wore a suit on this night to receive the championship ring that belongs to him.

On the court, after the championship ring and flag-raising ceremony, the two teams were officially revealed.

Celtics: Horford, Boozer, James, Pierce, DeLong.

Lakers: Jr. Plus, Garnett, Green, Kobe, Curry.

TNT, after O'Neal returned to the commentary booth with his championship ring, Barkley laughed: "The Celtics have assembled an unprecedented All-Star starting lineup this summer.

But I'm still more optimistic that the Lakers can win this night. ”

On the side, Smith said: "The Celtics' lineup is fantastic, but it will also invisibly increase the pressure on their court. ”

In the center of the court, in the jump ball session, Xiao Jia failed to defeat Horford, and the Celtics had the ball.

On the Lakers bench, Wang Shuo noticed that the Celtics' opening opening attack was organized by Delon, while James was pulled to the other corner to smoke.

Judging by the Celtics' opening offensive setup tonight, you must have the feeling that James seems to have figured it out.

But in fact......

Just like Wang Shuo in his previous life, during the Heat period, James also did dirty work and tiring work on the court for a period of time under the pressure of Riley.

Celtics coach Stevens has little seniority, but James, who has always been well versed in locker room politics, will not be stupid enough to challenge Danny Ainge behind Stevens when he is new to the situation.

As the head coach of the Celtics, Stevens has an absolute say in the Celtics team.

In the case of a major change in the Celtics roster in the new season, Stevens knows that the tacit understanding between Deron and Boozer is something that the Celtics need to rely on no matter what.

And, facing an inside line consisting of Garnett and Jr......

Letting James chisel hard is not a wise move in Stevens' eyes.

On the court, after Boozer pulled high to make a wall for Delon, on the other side, Horford also pulled out from the inside and gave James a blank cover in the bottom corner.

However, to Horford's confusion, James didn't use his cover to cut along the baseline, but pulled to the right side of the court to receive the ball.

In the 22/23 season before Wang Shuo's crossing, because James's air cut scoring rate reached an astonishing 86.9%, many James couldn't wait to put on the crown called "King of Air Cut" for James, and responded to those who thought James would not play without the ball on the court.

But......

A closer look at this custom excel reveals that most of the time, James fans selectively filter out the number of air cuts James made on the court during the 22/23 season.

If Wang remembers correctly, James made a total of 61 shots in the 22/23 season via air cuts.

That's just 4.9 percent of his total shots.

In contrast, despite Aaron Gordon's 79.1% clearance rate, in the 22/23 season, Gordon made a total of 158 aerial cuts on the court, accounting for about 21% of his total aerial cuts.

In Wang Shuo's eyes, any hit rate that does not look at the proportion of shots and the number of shots is meaningless.

In Wang Shuo's view, if a player who only focuses less than 5% of his offensive energy on air cutting per game can also be called the so-called "king of air cutting", then in the NBA, are these crowns too cheap?

The reason why James didn't cut along the baseline as Horford envisioned this offense is very simple, because he prefers to attack with the ball, and at the moment he just wants to get the damn basketball from DeLong.

It's a pity that Deron didn't give James a chance.

At the same time that James reached for the ball on the right side of the court to remind Delon that he was in the open position, after one step past Curry, Delon made a quick stop and hit a mid-range dry shot.

2 to 0.

On the field, seeing that his teammates completed a clean score, James's hands, which had been asking for the ball, immediately turned to clapping and gave Delon applause and encouragement at the first time.

Coming back, the Lakers attacked.

Against Kobe, James showed great defensive enthusiasm.

But on the wing, when Kobe Bryant was building a wall for Curry, Delon, who was desperate to prove himself again after leaving the Jazz, was puzzled at this moment......

Because James didn't delay Curry as Deron thought, buying himself enough time to defend himself.

Seeing this, Delung, who watched Curry get an easy opportunity to fire on the outside, also showed a helpless expression while spreading his hands to look at James.

At this time, Delong was at the most arrogant stage of his career.

He has never had much friendship with James, but he will not choose to be a CBA teammate for brotherhood like Bosh and Wade in Wang Shuo's memory.

Hmmm——!

On the court, without any pressure, Curry hit a three-point shot.

TNT TV, seeing this scene, Barkley couldn't help but complain: "LeBron's defense is still so freewheeling."

Stephen's three-pointer seems to mean that Deron did not follow Stephen, but in fact, LeBron was the key to causing the Celtics to drop points. ”

On the Lakers bench, Vogel shrugged his shoulders and said to Wang Shuo and others: "Look, I just said that he will definitely not do such thankless dirty work and tiring work in the game, right?" ”

At this moment, Wang Shuo was curious why Vogel, who had never worked with James, knew James so well.

In response, Vogel smiled and said, "I've heard a defensive lesson from Coach Mike Malone before.

I think he's the one in the league who knows LeBron James best. ”

Wang Shuo: "......"

Boy!

What does co-authoring mean......

Ma Long is the culprit who causes everyone to understand Zhan so well?

On the pitch, the Celtics attacked.

After James, who finally touched the basketball on the outside, made a slightly clumsy feint on the outside, he thought he had deceived Kobe, and even though he received a blow that caught him off guard in his eyes, but it was really so cold in the eyes of the players and fans on the court.

Of course, if you want to be completely embarrassed that Black James's vulture's cold arrow didn't deceive anyone, that's not necessarily true.

Because at the very least, James managed to fool himself when he was on the perimeter for a three-pointer.

On the court, at the moment when James was cold, Kobe Bryant did not appreciate James's confident expression, but immediately turned around and rushed into the basket, and under the card position of Xiao Jia, he accepted the rebound that James gave him personally.

On the Celtics' bench, Stevens isn't the kind of coach who doesn't allow players to make more offensive experiments on the court.

But in his opinion, James' offensive options are really up for debate.

Because tonight......

The Celtics' opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers.

In the Staples Center, Kobe Bryant just picked up the backcourt rebound and immediately launched a transition offense.

After dribbling all the way to the frontcourt, Kobe's score was on Curry, who trivially picked up Delon and burst to the basket to win two free throws under James' defense.

Admittedly, James' defense has problems with one or another.

But you can't deny that he is aggressive on the field when it comes to chasing hats.

It's a pity that this ball, even though James has covered the sky, but at the moment when he made physical contact with Curry, the referee still decisively sounded the whistle for Curry, the "chosen son".

After landing, James looked depressed and wanted to find the referee to justify.

At this moment, James, who was so aggrieved that he was like a baby, didn't understand why his defense was whistled for a foul this time.

TNT, after watching the slow-motion replay, Barkley explained to the fans in front of the TV: "We can notice that LeBron just had a clear pressing move when defending.

Therefore, this foul blowing penalty, in my opinion, there is no problem. ”

On the side, O'Neal said: "LeBron has become more and more complaining about the referee in the past two years.

Wouldn't he have played without a whistle? ”

On the sidelines, taking advantage of Curry's free throws, Steven deliberately called James to his side and reminded him: "LeBron, you should be smarter in your offensive and defensive choices on the court."

Both Al and Carlos have great pick-and-roll and take-off abilities, and you should use their pick-and-rolls to complete the offense.

In addition, when defending, a successful defense is not a defense that can be converted into statistics.

Just now, since you've already chased the defense in place, why did you deliberately give Stephen a chance to make a layup and think about how to beat him? ”

Hearing this, James nodded, and at the same time, dissatisfaction with Stevens gradually grew in his heart.

Because in James's view, the best coaching record in his career at the moment is just Stevens, who led the Celtics to the Eastern Conference finals......

Actually teaching him to do things?

In Wang Shuo's previous life, there were always people who said that James had a bad life and had never met a top coach.

There is no doubt that even Wang Shuo, the head of Zhanmi, cannot agree with such a statement.

Because not to mention that Mike Brown was the first full-ticket best coach in NBA history before he crossed over.

Mike Malone was his former NBA championship coach.

In terms of Spoelstra's defensive accomplishments and Vogelner's master-level coaching talent in the NBA......

Which of these coaches who have assisted James is it?

In the NBA, Wang Shuo never thought that a team that didn't play well was necessarily the head coach's problem.

Because coaches and players are meant to achieve each other.

Just like without Phil Jackson, Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe would still be Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe.

A top coach can certainly make top players play more brightly on the field.

But just like you give Wang Shuo James, he can't turn James into Jordan.

The strength and potential of the players themselves is the key to whether they can become top players.

On the court, after Curry hit two free throws, the Celtics attacked.

Boozer blocked the outside bomb and received an assist from Delon, and hit a hot shot.

This pair of inside and outside combinations, who have been playing together in the NBA for many years, have a tacit understanding in terms of cooperation.

Garnett's defensive delays and rebounds were in place this time.

The only fly in the ointment is that Garnett is 34 years old at the moment, not 24.

Coming back, the Lakers attacked.

For Angie's sake, James, who chose to give Stevens face, successfully helped Deron delay Curry.

But Kobe Bryant took this opportunity to spiritually drill into the interior line of the Celtics.

Seeing this, James hurriedly returned to defense.

But Bryant was clever enough to dangle a shot after winning the ball and successfully made James' second personal foul of the night.

On the Celtics bench, after James received a second personal foul prematurely, Stevens had to temporarily replace James with Tony Allen.

On the sidelines, James, who was replaced because of the foul crisis, was completely "jade".

Before the start of the regular season, James, who vowed to lead the Celtics to the "cupping king", was prepared for this opening game in various senses.

In addition to his physical preparation, James even figured out how he was going to receive the praise he received after the game.

But who ever ......

Only two and a half minutes into the game, he had to sit on the sidelines due to a foul crisis.

And......

What made James feel more depressed than his own foul crisis was ......

Don't say it, don't say it......

After he was substituted, the Celtics really got better and better in the game, and stopped the Lakers in the middle of the first quarter!

In Wang Shuo's previous life, Tony Allen, who was nicknamed "Teacher Tony" by fans, was definitely inferior to James in other aspects except for defense.

But Tony Allen, who is willing to be a tool for his teammates on the field, after coming on the court tonight, instead activated the Celtics' offense and defense.

On the offensive end, Stevens, who stole Sloan's blocking, successfully replicated the tactical system that the old coach Sloan originally designed for DeLong in the Celtics.

Both Pierce and Delon have some singles ability.

In addition to being good at blocking and clearing for teammates, Horford and Boozer can also be used as ball pick-and-handle points to cooperate with teammates.

So, theoretically, in the absence of James, the Celtics do have what it takes to launch Sloan's pick-and-roll.

And, come back......

Tony Allen's solo defense and help defense also greatly relieved the pressure on Pierce and Deron on defense.

With Horford on the inside and Stevens' tuning, even without Garnett, the Celtics' defense can't be bad.

On the Lakers bench, at this moment, Wang Shuo and his assistants can be said to be extremely nostalgic for James.

Why do you say that Curry and Kobe are so ignorant, and they have to "cheat" a foul from James tonight?

Don't they know that this will make it twice more difficult for the Lakers to win this opening game?

TNT, when the Lakers asked for a timeout, Barkley also commented on the Celtics' performance in the first half of the first quarter: "The Celtics can currently play 14-14 with the Lakers......

LeBron James is absolutely credited.

Because of this game, he is definitely more obvious off the field than his role on the field. ”

On the side, O'Neill chimed in: "What does it mean to be a great player? That's called a great player!

Even when he's not on the pitch, he can make a difference in the game! ”

After Barkley and O'Neal expressed their views one after another, Smith, who did not dare to speak up until then, said: "So, in a sense, has LeBron finished surpassing Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant?

Because even Michael and Kobe Bryant can't influence the course of a game off the court like LeBron. ”

At the Staples Center, just as the TNT TV trio was frantically touting James, the live camera also gave James a close-up for the first time.

You see......

James, who is sitting on the Celtics bench at the moment, although his expression is not very good-looking, but his constant biting of his thumb can be described as a domineering spirit!

Don't blow it, don't black it.

At this moment, all the players of the Celtics definitely felt the power that James brought to them sitting off the court!

After the timeout, the always outspoken Pierce put his arms around Delon as he came on the court and whispered: "In the next half of the game, we must not live up to the foul crisis that LeBron suffered tonight, understand?" ”

Hearing this, DeLong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Paul, I won't care about my personal data in this game."

While you might think I'm a bit selfish when I say that, I do want to win once in front of Stephen! ”

Pierce patted Deron on the shoulder and smiled, "No matter how different our starting points are, I think our determination to beat the Lakers is the same." ”

On the court, almost all the Celtic players reached a consensus at this moment.

That's ......

As Pierce told Deron that all Celtics players don't want to live up to James' outstanding contribution to the team due to the foul crisis!

In the second half of the first quarter, the Celtics put pressure on the Lakers on this night, in addition to giving Wang Shuo a headache......

With the trajectory of history quietly changing.

Wang Shuo was also curious, after losing his brother's tolerance and the emperor's new clothes......

What kind of player will James become in this life?

Wang Shuo estimated that Brad Stevens did not expect that after James was gone, the Celtics would be infinitely energetic.

But even so, the trend of this game is also within Wang Shuo's expectations.

Because this Lakers team is strong.

It's not just because they have a starting lineup that they can't even put together in a 2k game.

After the first quarter, in the second quarter, Wang Shuo adjusted the Lakers' on-court lineup to Jordan Jr., McRoberts, Odom, DeRozan and Ellis.

In fact, in the case of James suffering a foul crisis in the first quarter tonight, the Celtics' second lineup can stabilize the situation for the Celtics under the leadership of James, even if it is not as good as the Lakers.

But......

After receiving strong stimulation from teammates in the first quarter tonight......

James, who is becoming more and more demonic in his mentality, has now focused on his personal Excel.

Mike Malone, who has returned to Cleveland, is watching the live stream if this game.

Then he must be emotional......

Even after seven years, James still doesn't forget his original intention!
