Forward to the basket

Regardless of how Celtics fans criticize Ainge's draft standards, they can't change the established facts.

Although the bald boy of Chinese descent doesn't look like a guy who can help the team no matter how he looks, this kid is destined to be entangled with the Celtics this season.

Even if the fate of waiting for the kid is to be transferred to the nbdl, he is still a member of the Celtics, unless Ainge can fire him immediately.

But now it seems that Angie doesn't have such an idea, and the Celtics don't give any explanation for the draft. As for Chen Feng, don't expect him to talk to the reporters.

No matter how upset the fans are and how crazy the media is to fuel the flames, it doesn't affect the uncomfortable bald head at all.

That kid had already slipped back to Las Vegas to hide after the draft.

In order not to be transferred to NBDL in the new season, the training plan assigned to him by Tarkanian has to be completed step by step. Although the training intensity is not as brutal as the previous stage, it is not easy.

Chen Feng was as tired as a dead dog every day, so he didn't have time to talk to those boring reporters.

There were no more sources of news, and the big wave of NBA transfers began to hit people's attention one after another, so those voices of criticism gradually decreased, and everyone resigned to their fate.

Transfers, trades, the news that pops up every summer is starting to fill the gaps without games.

However, unlike those teams eager to replenish their strengths, the Celtics have not been involved in any rumors of large-scale transactions.

Maybe the Celtics will make some minor adjustments before the start of training camp, but there will never be any major moves, and the possibility of a major change has basically been ruled out.

Their personnel structure has almost been determined. Even if they want to have any large-scale player transactions, it is estimated that it will be a matter of next season.

Unless the Celtics now have the kind of plan to break the boat and break up the entire team directly to return everything to zero.

However, there are not many big-name stars who can make both Angie and Rivers look good. If you want to tear down and rebuild, this is not a good time.

And the chips that the team can take out now are really not many, and Pierce must not be sent away. After all, he is also the absolute core of the team.

As for the others, in terms of potential, they all have a little bit, but if they are exchanged, I am afraid that not many people will exchange their good players with you for some potential stocks.

This may be a very helpless thing, and it is precisely because of this that many Celtics supporters care so much about the team's choice in the draft.

There was no good possibility of a trade in the first place, and now such a master is picked, how could the fans not erupt in protest.

According to local media reports in Boston, the Celtics are now preparing to live with such a lineup.

As for what kind of mix they can make, only God knows. Anyway, those media will never be optimistic about the prospects of this season.

"Maybe everything we are doing now is preparing for next season, that's all." This is the prediction given by the pessimistic media.

Even if it is a more optimistic estimate, it is just that the team still has a chance to break into the playoffs.

If such a result is for a rookie in the NBA like the Bobcats, they might all be laughing.

But the Celtics have [-] championship titles on their heads and can barely make it to the playoffs. This is simply an insult to the Bostonians' sense of honor.

The earth is in motion, and it is impossible for a person to be in an unlucky position forever.

But now it looks like the Celtics' bad luck is continuing, or getting worse.

Maybe with this lineup they could easily have worse results than last season.

What those outsiders think may be secondary. Paul Pierce, who is the core boss of the team, is also a little bit upset now.

The past three and a half months of vacation have been a mess for Pierce.

Needless to say, last season's poor results, only 33 wins, this may be Pierce's worst record after joining the team.

Although his personal scoring data has not declined significantly, Pierce does not want others to think that he is just a scoring machine.

So what if he can score 30+ points in every game? Pierce doesn't want to be like Tracy McGrady when he was in the Magic. He can win the scoring champion, but the team is so bad.

As a banner of the team, Pierce has always wanted to lead the Celtics to reshape the glory days of the Celtics.

Unfortunately, since Pierce entered the league in [-], he has been fighting in Boston for several years, and his best achievement is nothing more than leading the team to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The result was just a failure. Most of the time, Pierce could only play in the first round of the playoffs.

When Walker, who was once known as one of the Celtics' twin stars, also left his hometown, Pierce could only rely on his own hands to support the team's progress.

It is estimated that only Pierce himself knows the hardships, and he will never save the team alone.

After all, Pierce is not the kind of domineering guy like Joe's gang leader. Although he has been playing hard, the team has never improved, and the last two seasons have been terrible.

And what upset Pierce the most might be that he inadvertently said that he wanted to change his environment, even though it was just a reporter who was familiar with him when he had nothing to do.

But after being processed by those unscrupulous reporters, even a simple sentence can become a monstrous wave.

"Pierce is leaving Boston!"

"Pierce is tired of losing all the time!"

"The New York Knicks have the check ready!"

"The management of the Lakers claimed that they are interested in any good player!"

Such news has almost become a topic of hype throughout the summer. Even if Pierce chose to travel abroad with his family, he could not escape the harassment of those reporters.

In the eyes of those reporters, if this news can be confirmed, it will be the biggest news in the transfer market throughout the summer, so they are like a shark that smells blood, and they are not letting go.

Everyone wanted to hear positive news from Pierce. Although Pierce had already explained that it was just a misunderstanding, he had no intention of leaving at all.

But those reporters had already determined that he wanted to leave, and all explanations were just excuses.

This kind of turmoil has already affected the top management of the team, and the appeasement of Angie and Rivers made Pierce even more depressed.

There are even rumors within the team that if he chooses to leave, the team may choose to trade him in advance.

Originally, it was just a complaint after being depressed, but now it has turned into such a terrible situation. It is estimated that whoever it is replaced will also hold back the anger.

Pierce is not saying that the things written in those reports are wrong. He is really annoyed by the current situation of the team. After Walker left, the team's performance began to decline.

I can't find a suitable partner, the team has never been able to complete the reorganization, and has always been lacking in competitiveness. Even if my statistics have always been beautiful, it is nothing but a brush in the eyes of others.

The most important thing is that Pierce is a person who is very hungry for honor, always so insulated from the championship, and always accepts failure.

For a player who wants to prove his ability, this is nothing more than a kind of mental torture.

It's not that Pierce didn't think about leaving, such a thought did exist, but he just didn't want to get out in such a disheveled manner.

But after one bad season after another, Angie still hasn't found a suitable helper for himself, and there isn't even a famous guy in the team.

Finally came LaFrentz, who turned out to be a disabled person, and now that guy has also been sent away.

Ratliff, who was replaced, was just like that, with mediocre statistics and poor abilities.

All the actions of the team throughout the summer are nothing more than two or three players replaced, and they are basically substitute players, not to mention the two rookies picked.

One of them is a point guard. Although Pierce has not seen it yet, it takes at least two or three years for a qualified point guard to make a name for himself in the NBA.

Rajon Rondo, Pierce couldn't remember whether he had actually seen this kid in an ncaa game, and he even wondered if that kid had really played ncaa.

Most of the current guards may have forgotten how to pass the ball, thinking that they are the next Iverson.

He will rush to the basket with the ball and organize the offense?Nice pass?Forget it, those boys only care about their own data.

As for the other one, Pierce was already speechless.

Street runner?Haven't even played an NCAA game?When Pierce saw those reports in the paper, he wanted to call Angie immediately.

He just wanted to ask what the hell was going on, had the team made up their minds to have a bad season?

Just like the bad results that the Spurs gave up for a season to win Duncan?

But who knows if the next one to come to Boston will be someone like Duncan?The No. [-] pick is not a panacea.

Although many people said that after such a small draft, next year's draft will be a star-studded scene.

Big man Greg Oden of Ohio State University, Durant of the University of Texas, and Mike Conley, Horford, these people have already released words to participate in next year's draft.

But Pierce really didn't know if he could last until that time, and he couldn't bear the harsh boos in the game.

When your home fans start to make noise and turn against you and the team, being the leader of a team is the most psychologically stressful.

"Maybe leaving is also an option." On the way to drive to the TD North Shore Garden Arena, Pierce had such thoughts in his mind.

Although a bit unwilling, it is better than continuing to be bad. Pierce knows that he is almost exhausted. He is almost 30 years old, and there are only a few years left in his peak period.

"If this season's results are worse than last season...", perhaps to convince myself, or to have a glimmer of hope for the new season.

Pierce finally cleared those chaotic thoughts in his mind before reaching the destination. Anyway, he is still the leader of the Celtics. If he gives up first, then this season's game will not be played.

Although he has been avoiding the pursuit of the media for almost a month, Pierce still can't escape the opening day of training camp.

Meetings between new and old players, the media, and fans is a routine on the first day of each season. If anyone asks for leave, even Pierce has to pay a fine of [-] US dollars.

Even if you are late, you have to be fined, not to mention absenteeism, many rules of the nba are quite strict.

Maybe Pierce doesn't care about such a small amount of money, but in the face of those rumors that have been entangled for almost three months, he always stood up and said something.

Even if that was done just to appease the hearts of the fans, after all he is the absolute core and leader of the team.

However, Pierce still underestimated the encirclement and suppression of him by the media. When he drove to the gate of the arena, those reporters had already surrounded him.

Interview pens and various camera flashes have surrounded Pierce's car from all sides.

"Paul, is this season your last in Boston!?"

"Will you choose to leave this season or leave next season?"

"It is reported that there has been a serious conflict between you and the team manager Angie. Is this the reason for you to leave?"

"New York has declared to the outside world that they will offer a maximum salary and will do whatever it takes to reach a deal!"

Such questions were thrown at Pierce overwhelmingly. Even Pierce, an old fritter who is used to dealing with the media, was a little caught off guard.

"Damn it! Why are all the reporters at the media meeting stuck here!" Pierce still had to look calm.

But at this moment, he couldn't stop cursing why these damn reporters surrounded him like a swarm of flies.

This kind of attention is not what he wants. No matter what he says, it will be misinterpreted. This is the inevitable result.

Now Pierce can only wait for the security personnel of the arena to come out to save him. Otherwise, if he got out of the car so rashly, he would not be able to get away for at least half an hour, and those reporters would stalk him to death.

When Pierce wrote his autobiography many years later, he made a point of writing that on the opening day of training camp in [-], he was being pestered by a group of boring reporters.

At the moment when he almost blurted out cursing, a shiny bald head appeared in front of everyone.

Even Pierce, who was sitting in his Mercedes-Benz S600, could hear a loud voice yelling outside the crowd.

"Hey! Let it go! Let it go!!! Let it go! Master's car has no brakes! Anyone who doesn't let you get out of the way! Don't worry if you hit him or die!"

Maybe not only Pierce can't forget that scene, but many people are imprinting that scene in their minds.

A bald boy glistening in the sun, riding a bicycle, plunged into the crowd with a crazy attitude, his aura was unstoppable...

"Maybe from that moment, I feel that even if the new season is bad, it will not be worse than the situation at that time."

Probably no one would have imagined that such a fierce guy would change everything...

(Wait a while...don't worry, there was a power outage today, so I posted it late, it wasn't on purpose...)
