It is worth mentioning that in the crucial battle between the Hornets and the 76ers at the end of March, the Hornets, who carried the hopes of fans across the United States, successfully sniped the 76ers and took Iverson and the 76ers to the fourth place in the East! They themselves rose to third place in the East!

This game has put fans all over the United States into a carnival!

Here it comes!

The grievance situation they want to see the most is more and more likely to happen!

And in April, the records of the Hornets and the 76ers have been biting, after all, as long as the brain is not stupid, no one wants to meet the Pacers in advance!

After winning that crucial card battle, the Hornets were one position ahead of the 76ers, and their record after that was also very good.

In addition, the strength of the 76ers themselves is really not that strong, and some of the victories that should be won were missed by them, and in the end, they still failed to complete the overtake, and the team's final record was locked in fourth place in the East!

As long as they don't lose in the first round, then the much-anticipated playoff rematch between Lin Tian and Iverson will be staged for the second year in a row!

Moreover, this year is still an absolute grudge game! In this round of the series, it is already possible to lock in the second round of the highest-rated series in advance!

It's also worth mentioning that just before the playoffs began, there was bad news from the Spurs.

Tim Duncan, the absolute heart of their team and the leading scorer, suffered a torn meniscus in a game in early April! After much investigation and research, Duncan's injury hardly affected his career, but he had to undergo an operation.

Even if the surgery is successful, Duncan will have to rest for 4-6 months, which means that the playoffs of the San Antonio Spurs, who are full of ambition and want to continue to attack the championship, are basically over before they have even started!

Even with Robinson, Richmond and Rose, without Duncan, their goal is no longer to challenge for a championship, but not to be swept away in the first round.

How important Duncan is, everyone knows very well!

What's even more frustrating for the Spurs is that Duncan's rookie contract has expired, and he will become a free agent this summer, which is a normal thing.

But here's the thing: Duncan didn't agree to an early contract extension with the team, and he wants to test the free market! That worries Popovich, Buford, and all the San Antonio fans.

This big man, he won't run away!

Well, it should ...... No way?

Another playoff team that has been hit by injuries is the Phoenix Suns, and this time it is no longer the 'penny' Hardaway with a fragile knee, but another person in the 'super backcourt': Jason Kidd!

Kidd sprained his ankle before the end of the regular season and will be out of action for at least 2 weeks!

The Suns, who were originally strong and ambitious, wanted to do something in the playoffs, but immediately because of this problem, their whole team was a little lacking in confidence.

But at this time, the team owner actually brought back the team's former head defender 'Lightning' Kevin Johnson, who has been retired for two years!

Johnson helped the team play the final six games of the regular season and will also play in the playoffs to fill the void in the playmaking guard position!

Of course, Johnson's state has long been incomparable to his own state, he averaged only 6 points and 4 assists per game in 6 regular season games, and his offensive power has greatly declined, and he has degenerated from the league's top defender to an ordinary role player.

But the team brought him back, obviously not expecting him to regain the glory of the past, what the team needs is for him to use his prestige, status, experience and leadership to help the team, so that the Suns can stabilize the situation and survive the two weeks of Kidd's absence!

In addition to the two unlucky ghost teams of the Spurs and the Suns, another extremely unlucky team is the Chicago Bulls!

This season, they've been firmly at the bottom of the league almost 95 percent of the time, and they've been waiting for another No. 1 pick in the 2000 draft to pick another supertalent to rebuild.

But it's a pity that just 3 days before the end of the season, the Bulls guys actually came to a wave of 2 consecutive wins!

The team suddenly won a series of games at such an extremely critical moment, and the angry general manager Klaus was furious, and he directly fired the team's interim coach Floyd! Lao Tzu hired you to come, did you step on a horse to win? Is it a horseback rider to show your tactical skills?

Win at this time?

You old boy has eaten the kickback from the Clippers!

Well, that's what Klaus really said in his heart!

Because, after these two victories, the Bulls and Clippers are polar reversals! The Bulls, who were originally the first-to-last, became the second-to-last, and the second-to-last Clippers became the league's vice president!

They will have the greatest probability of getting the 2000 champion lottery!

Even if everyone is not very optimistic about the rookies of the class of 2000 and think that they are very mediocre and bad rookies, it is better to get the top pick than to get a list or a flower!

And, the more mediocre the year, the more important the draft picks!

After all, there are few geniuses, and if you are not careful, they will be gone!

On the contrary, it is a year with many geniuses, and the last position is the last, who to choose is not to choose!

In short, the Clippers were jubilant, but Bulls coach Floyd lost his job because of two wins and became another unlucky ghost in the league.

Except for these unlucky ghosts, the rest of the teams are going well, and there are no moths.

First up is the Pacers!

After losing to the 76ers in mid-March, they were on another winning streak! Even in the last two games of April, Bird felt that the team did not have to chase the 74 wins that the Bulls set that year, the first in the league that year, this kind of empty results and useless, the so-called first place in regular season history, he didn't care at all.

Well, of course, the main reason is that this record is not Lakers'! If this record was set by the Lakers, then Bird himself would have to break this record by changing his jersey, but the Bulls, it doesn't matter! Leave some underwear for others.

Don't ask, asking is a double standard, asking is shameless!

In short, after communicating with the team's players, he directly chose to rest in the last two games of the regular season.

It's just that what Bird didn't expect was that the opponents of the Pacers in the last two games were also rested!

One is the Hawks who want to continue to lose to keep their fourth position, for fear of moving one place back if they are promoted to the draft pick, and the other is the Celtics who have determined that they are the eighth in the East, and there is a big gap between them and the seventh and ninth and cannot change their position!

As a result, the role players of the three rotational rest teams, in these last two games, played back and forth, killing the sky and the earth, and fighting the sun and the moon!

In the end, in the end, the Pacers have a better roster foundation and thickness, and their tactical system is more perfect, Lewis, Harrington, and Buckner are now quite good, these three guys have gone to other teams, I am afraid they can all enter the rotation or even play the starter directly, but in the Pacers, they can only continue to sit on the bench.

This is also a kind of helplessness of the strong team, the pain of happiness!

In short, when Bird felt indifferent to the title of the No. 1 regular season record in history, the players under his hands were extremely competitive, and when Lin Tian, Carter, Webb and others did not play, they held on to the victory, and actually got two more victories!

And the Pacers' record is finally fixed at 75-7!

They surpassed the Chicago Bulls in 1995-1996 to become the team with the highest regular-season win percentage in NBA history! They are also the first team in NBA history to reach 75 wins in a single season! It is also another team after the Bulls to reach more than 70 wins in the regular season!

Of course, the most important point: Lin Tian has become the only player in NBA history to have played in all three 70+ winning teams!

Lin Tian's career has played so far, a total of 5 seasons, 3 seasons reached more than 70 wins......

The regular season win rate of his career is simply terrifying!

Of course, because he missed the last two regular season games, Lin Tian did not win his fifth Player of the Month of the season, but he won 4 in a row, which is already an unprecedented record!

Even if there has been no news about this season's selections so far, everyone is very sure that Lin Tian can definitely win his MVP trophy for the second year in a row!

The only suspense is: Can Lin Tian get the unanimous MVP this year?

Anyway, Lin Tian doesn't care about this thing, some people don't like dollar bills, let alone himself?

There are a few reporters who like to disagree, that's normal!

In Lin Tian's eyes, there is only one goal now: the championship!

After the dust finally settled in the regular season, the team rankings in the East and West this season have finally come to an end!

The matchups of the 16 playoff teams have also been completely released!

Eastern:

1. Indiana Pacers 75-7

2. Miami Heat 61-21

3. Charlotte Hornets 49-33

4. Philadelphia 76ers 48-34

5. Detroit Pistons 42-40

6. Milwaukee Bucks 42-40

7. Orlando Magic 41-41

8. Boston Celtics 35-47

There is actually no suspense in the ranking of the east.

Although the gap between the teams is not large, it can be seen at a glance that the difference in the strength of the teams in the east is very large!

In addition to the two top teams of the Heat and the Pacers, the remaining 6 teams only look at the record to know that they are the role of accompanying the prince to study, and in the entire East, except for the Heat and the Pacers, no team can reach 50 wins, which is also the first time in recent years!

And this year's situation also illustrates the fall of the East!

In the past 10 years, the East has maintained 2-3 top championship teams, and 2-3 first-class teams that can reach 50 wins.

The championship in the past ten years has almost been monopolized by the East, in addition to the Rockets who have won 2, the Bulls have 5, the Pacers and the Knicks have 1 each, and even further on, it is the Pistons who have won two in a row!

The west was suppressed by the east, and that was too long!

But this year is clearly a dividing line.

First of all, Jordan's retirement directly made a top team disappear, coupled with the fact that the defending champion Knicks are in bad shape this season, Ewing, Starks, Oakley and other old guys are in a precipitous decline, and they won the championship last season, but they fell out of the playoffs this season!

Considering the age of the Knicks' main players, it is clear that they will not be able to come back, and the team will start their rebuilding sooner or later!

In addition, the Hawks, who have been the backbone of the East for the past few years, and have always won about 50 games although they have not reached the division finals, have also begun to rebuild this year, trading away the team's top two scorers, Steve Smith and Murkey Blaylock, the Hawks have won a total of only 28 games this year, ranking second to last in the East!

In addition, the Cavaliers' rebuild failed, the Wizards' gamble also lost money, and although the Bulls got Brand, the devil knows when they can rise, and the Nets got Marbury's team record but there was no improvement......

After all these factors are combined, it has become what it is now, and there are not even 8 teams with a 50% win rate in the entire East! In the end, the Celtics, who only had 35 wins, returned to the playoffs after five years.

In any case, except for the Heat and the Pacers, who still maintain the dignity of the Eastern powerhouses, the rest of the teams in the East have fallen behind! They've all become bastards or worthless bastards.

And, if there are no accidents, this situation in the east will become more and more obvious, and they will get worse and worse......

The west is strong and the east is weak, and it has become an irreversible trend!

This can be seen from the record of the west!

1. Los Angeles Lakers 67-15

2. San Antonio Spurs 62-20

3. Portland Trail Blazers 59-23

4. Phoenix Suns 53-29

5. Minnesota Timberwolves 50-33

6. Seattle SuperSonics 42-40

7. Dallas Mavericks 42-40

8. Sacramento Kings 41-41

In the west, although the disparity between strength and weakness is also huge, they have at least 5 teams with 50 wins, and at least 8 teams have a 50% win rate!

Young teams such as the Mavericks and Kings have finally returned to the playoff stage after many years.

Among them, the Kings played a very wonderful performance in the second half of the season after trading the core of the team, Richmond, from the 12th place in the West, all the way back, and finally not only increased their winning rate to 50%, but also finally entered the playoffs again!

There is a little bit of similarity in the East on this side of the West, and that is that several of their old powerhouses have also started this season and stayed away from the playoffs!

The first is the Rockets, who also had Olajuwon and Pippen last season, and played a certain influence on the Rockets, but this season is finally unbearable, Olajuwon has been tormented by injuries and has lost the fierce appearance of the past, and his body has been completely defeated by time.

With the aging of Olajuwon, the division of kings who once won 2 consecutive championships has also completely completed the transfer of power, Francis has become the boss of the team, Olajuwon has retreated to the second line, the team's focus has shifted from the inside to the outside, and the style of play has also changed from the position to the offensive and defensive transition and fast attack.

To put it simply: Team Rocket has changed!

As for when they will be able to rise again, and whether Francis can replace Olajuwon to prop up the aerotropolitan, then no one can know!

Another team that has fallen this season is, of course, the Jazz, with Stockton retiring and Malone leaving for Miami.

Although with Sloan's persistence and the Jazz's presence at the end of the past few years, the Jazz have not directly fallen to the bottom of the table this year, but their current personnel obviously do not support the team to enter the playoffs again.

The Jazz have only 33 wins this year, the first time the team has failed to make the playoffs since the '82-83 season, and the first time since the '82-83 season that the team has won less than 50 percent!

At the same time, this is the first time that Sloan has failed to lead the team to the playoffs since he coached the Jazz.

The Jazz's record of 18 consecutive seasons in the playoffs is interrupted!

It's also the record for the longest consecutive playoff entries in the current league! Over the past 10 years, the league's No. 1 evergreen team has finally declined.

In addition, although the SuperSonics entered the playoffs this year, Payton's departure proves that their glory is coming to an end, they are no longer the top powerhouse in the West, and they are no longer intimidating.

The current supersonic speed is very mediocre, they just rely on more veterans and barely make the playoffs again!

When old people fall, new teams will naturally rise! Repeat the cycle and take turns to sit in the bank! This is the ecology of the NBA for more than 50 years, and it is one of the reasons why the NBA is fascinating.

It doesn't matter if you're a big club or a small city team, whether you're in New York, Los Angeles, Cleveland, or Milwaukee, the league will have your moments and stories!

After the top 16 rankings in the east and west have been decided, the eight groups of matchups in the first round have naturally been decided!

The Pacers are the league leaders, and their first opponent is indeed the worst team with the lowest win percentage among the 16 teams.

The Boston Celtics are back in the playoffs after 5 years!

Of course, it has to be said that the Celtics, who only got 35 wins this year, were able to enter the playoffs completely because they were the less bad team in the bad team.

The team's system and tactics are not very good, what do they rely on to stand out from the bad teams?

It's talent!

The Celtics' combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, but their talent is definitely the top in the East!

And the two most talented people in their team are undoubtedly the team's current twin stars: Antoine Walker and Paul Pearce!

Walker, who entered the league in '96, is nicknamed 'Fat Head', he has a top-level touch, but also has a flexibility and skill that does not match his body at all, his low-post offense, face-frame offense and shooting feel are top-notch, and his style of play and technical characteristics can make him do three or four.

That is, those who are stronger than him and taller than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him than him are not as tall as him and not as strong as him!

Against different opponents, Walker can put the ball into the basket in different ways, and he and Raheem, known as the 96 forward double, both have versatile offensive methods and can send the ball to the basket again and again.

Walker averaged 17+9 per game in the first year of his career, and 22+10 in his second year, although he failed to lead the team to the playoffs, he was also regarded by the Bostonians as the hope of the team's rebuild!

This season, Walker averaged 20.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, and was the team's top scorer and rebounder, as well as the number one star!

Of course, Walker's faults are just as obvious as his strengths.

The first is the choice of shots, perhaps because he is overconfident in his ability, Walker will always shoot in various strange ways in various positions, which leads to his efficiency is not high, and even the league's No. 3 and No. 4 players are low, and what makes it even more difficult for many fans to accept is his 3-point shot choice!

This season, Walker is averaging nearly 4 three-pointers per game, but his 3-pointer percentage is only 25%! Let's put it this way, looking at the shooting percentage, he's a completely unqualified shooter, and any coach would want that kind of guy to have the best of not shooting a 3-pointer a game.

But if you look at the number of shots, this guy made 285 3-point shots in the regular season, ranking in the top 15 in the league, and this efficiency looks like the top scorer in the league!

Well, of course, this is just the beginning of Walker's obsession with the three-point shot.

Starting next season, Walker will average more than eight 3-pointers per game for three consecutive seasons, and his three-point shooting options and numbers are enough to drive all old-school coaches crazy!

In addition to the shot selection, Walker's biggest problem is his defensive selection, originally with his physical condition, weight and flexibility, if he concentrates on defense, not to mention becoming the best defensive player, being selected for the annual defensive team, and becoming a feared defensive master is definitely not a problem.

But the result is that Walker's only interest in defense is gambling steals, and he likes to rush out to intercept opponents' passes, sometimes successfully, and then this steal will turn into a dashing full-court run, glide and slam dunk.

But more often than not, it was Walker's failed steals, leaving plenty of space behind him to allow the opponent to easily play an attack.

To put it simply, Walker is a personality player with explosive talent, but enough to make a coach's brain spill.

In addition to Walker, the Celtics' other star is Paul Pearce, who entered the league in the same year as Carter.

Compared to Walker, Pierce's abilities and talents are not so exaggerated, his style of play is more technical flow, full of floor play, and his tricks are to shoot after testing the step, use shoulder shakes and turns when the back is to deceive the opponent's center of gravity and defensive position, and then turn and shoot.

A player with a very old-school, traditional style of play!

At the same time, he is the Celtics' second scorer this season, averaging 19.5 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game!

In addition to the two of them, the team also has Kenny Anderson, nicknamed 'New York's No. 1 Keeper that year, has 14 points and five assists this season, and is the team's No. 3 scorer and playmaker.

Well...... It is worth mentioning that another guy who is definitely less than 180 cm tall but dares to report the official height of 183 cm.

This guy is destined to be educated well by Lin Tian, and Lin Tian has to tell him that honesty is a very important quality!

Be as high as you should, and don't make false claims!

Other than these three guys, the Celtics don't have anything worth mentioning.

It is also worth mentioning that Pierce, Walker, and Anderson are similar in smell, and their tempers are almost identical, and all three guys have tempers that stink like stones in a pit, with big tempers, big mouths, poor personalities, overconfidence, and self-esteem.

Standard American ghetto produced players.

This kind of person, Lin Tian likes it the most!

It's a bully, it's a tease.

It's also very easy to get started!

Originally, before the playoffs began, Lin Tian's habit was to upgrade himself again, so that he could become stronger and make it easier for the team to advance.

But the problem now is that although after a season of accumulation, especially in the All-Star Game, Lin Tian now has 11,000 points of experience, but the problem is that Lin Tian's useful skill levels are very high now, and 11,000 points are not enough to improve.

Those skills that required low experience points, Lin Tian couldn't use them at all.

So instead of casually upgrading two skills that were not used, Lin Tian decided to keep them.

Wait until the end of the season, wait until the start of the next season, and then talk about upgrades.

The Pacers, who won 75 of the regular season and are considered the favourites to win the championship this season, are waiting for their first opponent in the playoffs.

The former king of the league, Larry Bird's parent team, the Boston Celtics!

Before the start of the game, Bird was in the dressing room as usual for the final set-up and tactical analysis.

"Got it, right? There are so many people in their team to pay attention to, and their defense, other players outside of the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, are not worth mentioning at all! It's impossible to cause us any trouble. ”

"And then, Lin?"

After being tapped by Bird, Lin Tian almost couldn't hold back his laughter, shook his head and said, "I know, I know, Kenny Anderson, right?" I'll sit him to death! Hey, I'm obviously a technical streamer, and my main product is obviously gorgeous and chic, and I always let me do this kind of thing that is completely inconsistent with my style. ”

"What a shameless person to always think of bullying others with his height! Larry, I'm curious, in your career, have you ever met someone who points to your nose and says, 'What else do you have besides being tall?' Do you blush and regret when you face them? ”

"Would you like to go see Satan? Do you blush and regret when you see Satan? We can't fit you in the team, why don't you go and see Satan? Bird rolled his eyes, he had always thought of himself as the thickest skinned person before, thinking that he was the most venomous and black-bellied person in this alliance, but now he found out that he was not!

Compared with Lin Tianbi, he Bird is simply a gentleman who is elegant, polite, attaches great importance to etiquette, and is very principled in all kinds of behavior!

Bird could never have imagined that when he became a coach, he would find the moral high point and the brilliance of humanity for himself!

Bird and Lin Tian attacked each other and completely disappeared the little pre-game nervousness in the Pacers' locker room, Bird clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Then, let's go!" Go to the race! Go kill the Bostonians and let them know that the lottery is where they should be. ”

"Coach, I have one more question." Lin Tian suddenly raised his hand, looking like a good student, and said curiously: "Do we want to show mercy to our subordinates?" I heard that Mr. Auerbach also came to watch the game in order to support the team's return to the first game of the playoffs. ”

"He's coming?" Bird was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Then give me a beating!" didn't save face at all, this old man didn't scold me a lot back then, today, I will let him know what it means to be blue! I'm going to smash his team to the ground today! ”

"Damn the old red head, he's always thought that his godfather of the NBA was the number one management, and he liked to grab me and spray me the most! Hmph, today, it's my turn to take revenge, it's my turn to blow up his team! ”

Bird was arrogant and domineering, looking like he was going to kill his mentor for a while, and then swaggered out of the locker room.

"I guess Larry will immediately get rid of Auerbach when he sees him, completely lose his current momentum, and then serve tea and water to Auerbach like a rookie."

Miller, one of the team's most knowledgeable people about the relationship between Bird and Auerbach, triumphantly predicted, not only predicting, but also asking about another old guy on the team.

"Sam, what do you think?"

Perkins, who has barely played this season, nodded: "I almost agree with you about Reggie, but one thing is wrong, that is, Larry's momentum may not last until he sees Auerbach, he will hear his name or voice, and immediately his legs will go limp, and he will fall to his knees." ”

"Is Auerbach really that scary?" Lin Tian really didn't know much about Auerbach, he even only met Auerbach once at the NBA's 50th anniversary celebration that year, but he didn't say a word.

"There really is." Miller, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, nodded decisively, and then couldn't help but shudder, he was actually a little scared!

Looking at Miller's appearance, Lin Tian became even more curious about Auerbach!

After all, Auerbach announced his retirement in 1997 because of all kinds of troubles, and he has always been an idle post at Celtic, and he has long been out of business, so Lin Tian really has no chance to communicate with him.

But speaking of the greatest, at least one of the greatest head coaches and general managers in NBA history, the early and middle stages of his career were called a killing and invincible, and the Celtics he led were the strongest and most terrifying monsters and giants of that era.

Including in the 80s, the Celtics, who had the big three of Bird, Parish and McHale, although they did not have the terror reign of the 60s, were also the top powerhouses in the league!

But that was where Auerbach's luck ended.

In 1986, Auerbach used the list of money to select the super genius Len Baias, who claimed not to lose to Jordan and even faintly suppressed Jordan in his NCAA career, and then in less than 10 hours, Baias died in his room because of the overdose of fans.

It is even rumored that this is the first time that Baias has touched this thing in his life, and he was a very good baby in the first 20 years of his life, and he wanted to celebrate his choice, so he tried it.

Then, in 1993 training camp, Reggie Lewis, the leader of the Celtics and the revival of hope, died suddenly of a heart attack in training, and the little hope that the Celtics were just starting to rise was dashed again.

Then, in 1996, when Auerbach, who was already semi-retired, observed the players' tryouts in the summer, he fell in love with Kobe Bryant at a glance!

He wanted the team to use his sixth pick to get Kobe Bryant.

However, because of his age, Auerbach had delegated power, and at that time, the Celtics were no longer his word, and his ideas and remarks were opposed by many people, and the rest of the Celtics at that time were more optimistic about Antoine Walker, a talented college student, than Kobe, an immature high school student.

What they need is instant combat power, not slowly training a high school student.

After many meetings of discussion and quarrels, in the end, Auerbach failed to win, his proposal was rejected, and the team chose another genius Walker with the sixth pick, Auerbach could only retreat, mobilize his connections, find the Suns with the fifteenth pick, and reach an agreement with the Suns.

If Kobe Bryant drops to the 15th pick, then the Suns draft Kobe and trade him to the Celtics.

But the end result, everyone knows.

Jerry West didn't break it directly, traded away the team's starting All-Star center Divac in exchange for the 13th draft pick, cut off Kobe, and selected the pillar for the team for the next 20 years.

If Kobe Bryant was taken by another team, maybe Auerbach would not be so disappointed, but was taken away by the bitter enemy Lakers?

Auerbach's heart was cut like a knife!

Perhaps at that time, Auerbach already had the idea of retiring completely.

Then in 1997, the Celtics suffered another heavy blow! They've been putting on a bad job for a whole year, putting on a league-bottom standing, and Auerbach wants the team to get a first-round pick and select the super-talented Tim Duncan that everyone is eyeing!

Auerbach believes that this is the second Bill Russell of the Celtics!

But in the end, the Celts who were in the bottom of the table were tricked by God, and they only got the third pick, and only one Billups was selected.

It was also after that lottery draw that Auerbach announced that he had officially retired from management, and although the team retained him several times, and finally let Auerbach hang up as an adviser, after that, Auerbach almost completely stopped caring about the team.

The only thing he cares about may be Danny Ainge, and Auerbach hopes to train Ainge to be his successor, hoping that Augie can become the team's next president and bring the Celtics back to the top.

But alas, apart from Auerbach himself, the rest of the Celtics don't seem to think so, they desperately want the team to 'de-Auerbach', they don't want to use Auerbach's team.

As a result, the team rejected Auerbach's recommendation, and did not make Angie the general manager of the team, but only found him an idle position in the team.

After feeling that he was rejected by the team, even with his disciples, Auerbach was completely dead, this time, he really didn't care about anything anymore, and Danny Angie also left Phoenix, became the general manager in Phoenix, and even worked part-time as a head coach at the beginning of the season when the team did not have a head coach!

But in any case, the Celtics are erasing everything about Auerbach on their team.

Maybe that's the real reason why Bird really wants to get rid of this Celtic team!

Avenge your mentor.

After all, this Celtic team not only does not have the slightest shadow of Auerbach, but is also full of the smell of driving Auerbach away.

Bird doesn't like it anyway!

"Bet?" Miller suddenly added: "Let's bet on whether Larry will become a dog in a second after seeing Auerbach." ”

"I'm betting that Larry tonight will not only not be cowardly, but will be very tough! It's so hard that it will completely wipe out the Celtics, and beat the Celtics to death with a foul mouth and full of aggression! Lin Tian didn't look back, and directly gave his own answer.

"You really don't know Auerbach." As soon as Miller heard Lin Tian's words, he immediately said proudly: "They all say that you are an undefeated myth at the gambling table!" Lin, you're going to lose tonight! I'll win you well! ”

"How about betting on the drinks after tonight?"

"No problem Reggie, you can raise as much as you want! I'm not going to change my mind. Lin Tian said confidently: "Moreover, I will definitely win tonight!" ”

"You're looking for death!" As soon as Miller saw Lin Tian say that he raised casually, he immediately looked back at everyone else and said, "This is the best chance to win Lin by betting!" Do you want to be sure? After this village, there is no such shop! ”

With Miller's pry and assurance, soon, most of the Pacers team joined his camp!

In the end, only Christie, who said 'my wife won't let me gamble', so she didn't participate in any gambling, remained neutral, and Lin Tian's iron fan Ben said that he would always stand with Lin Tian, and the rest of the people were with Miller.

They felt that this was the best chance to defeat Lin Tian!

Miller said proudly: "Lin, you will lose this time!" ”

"Let's see." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do you bet?" ”

"If you win, you can make a claim to all of us!" Miller said, "We're done!" If you lose, then from today until the end of the season, all of us have the money for drinks, the money for finding fun, the money for kicking, you have all covered! ”

"No problem! Deal! Lin Tian did not hesitate and agreed to Miller's proposal.
