Chapter 44 The Cardinal
"Bill, is this little guy Larry said, the one who resembles him the most?" In the box of the North Shore Garden Arena, the cardinal sat on the sofa, leaning on crutches, looking at Meng Meng who came out of the player tunnel. Asahi.

"Well, it's this little guy. I've watched all his game tapes. He's a great defensive player. He moves very well. He can be said to be the top perimeter defender in the entire league. As for offense, he's an excellent outside shooter. , The shooting posture is very similar to Larry. And his shortcomings are also very obvious, the physical talent is worse than Larry, the mid-range shot is very unstable, the hit rate is only 27%, more than 40 games, I have not seen him once Breaking through, and the field of vision is also poor." Bill Russell saw the cardinal frowning slightly, and stopped immediately.As the greatest player in the history of the Celtics, as the well-known Lord of the Rings in the league, Russell is also under great pressure when facing the cardinal, and he will always look like a primary school student facing the teacher. The prestige of the bishop in the Celtics.

"Keep talking." The Cardinal tapped the floor with his cane, motioning for Russell to continue talking.

"Yes, this player will be an important puzzle piece for a championship team, but he will not be the leader of a team, and he will not be able to take on the important task of revitalizing the Celtics." After Bill Russell finished speaking, he also watched carefully. Wearing a cardinal.At some point, Larry Bird's evaluation of Meng Xu reached the cardinal's ears. After hearing the news, the cardinal, who had not asked about the team's affairs for several years, also instructed Bill La Searle, go and investigate this little guy that Larry Bird said most resembles him.

"Let's watch the game." Bill Russell's findings also disappointed the Cardinal.

Meng Xu, who was walking out of the player's tunnel at this moment, had no idea that a group of celebrities were talking about him in a box far away.As a rookie of the team, Meng Xu is the first to appear in every game. At home, he is the first to receive the cheers of the fans, and in the away game, he is also the first to greet the boos of the opposing fans. Faced with overwhelming boos At the beginning, Meng Xu still couldn't accept it. With the increase of the number of away games, he gradually got used to it. Every time he raised his head and faced this kind of scene proudly, sometimes it was very funny. waved to the audience.

Meng Xu has also seen reports about Larry Bird's evaluation of himself and Anthony Walker's contempt for him these days. He was already prepared to be booed by Celtic fans, but unexpectedly, in After Meng Xu played, only a small number of Celtics fans booed himself. This kind of scene also surprised Meng Xu. This situation was also encountered in the previous game against the Lakers. The self-proclaimed aristocratic demeanor Lakers fans don't have the habit of booing visiting team players at the beginning of the game. I don't know if the Celtics are the so-called kingly demeanor of the Celtics.

Next, Antonio Daniels, who played behind Meng Xu, did not have this kind of treatment. The overwhelming boos immediately resounded throughout the arena, and lasted until all the Spurs players had finished playing.

In this game, Popovich made a lot of adjustments to the team's starting lineup. When the schedule was about to pass halfway, Popovich was preparing for the sprint and playoffs in the final stage of the regular season. The veterans also started to rest. Neither David Robinson nor Avery Johnson went to Boston with the team in this game.

Facing the weak Celtics inside, Tim Duncan once again became the team's starting center. The starting power forward was Samaki Walker, and Meng Xu continued to start. At the shooting guard position, Mario-Walker Eli sat on the bench, replaced by Jalen Jackson, the point guard position, and Antonio Daniels, who replaced the rested Avery Johnson, served as a starter for the first time this season.

"Tom, don't you think our team is too crowded at the small forward position?" Celtics, starting Anthony Walker, Paul Pierce, Eric Williams sitting on the bench Adams, Danny Fortson, Calbert Chaney, Jamal Thomas, seeing the group of small forwards hoarded by the Celtics, Larry Bird's successors one by one, Bob Cousy is a burst Disgusted, and even more dissatisfied with Larry Bird.

"Yes, I think the Celtics need to make changes. The team can't be immersed in the glory of the past. A Larry Bird can't save the team." For Larry Bird and other management The dirtiness of the world, as the Celtics legend Tom Heinsohn is also clear, and he also supports Bob Cousy's faction.

Anthony Walker, who was doing pre-match training, bombarded the rim frantically, causing the audience to scream. After showing a few fancy dunks, Anthony Walker looked at Meng Xu with disdain, and at the same time made a Thumbs down insult.

"Antonio, I suddenly realized that you have become more beautiful today." Seeing Anthony Walker who was provocative, Meng Xu didn't respond, but instead joked with Antonio Daniels beside him,

"Meng, are you laughing at me?" Antonio Daniels was also very excited to start the game for the first time this season. As a third-year rookie, this game is also the first time the Spurs have started in the past two years.In Meng Xu's view, black people can't talk about their appearance. Among the Spurs' black players, only the unsmiling Duncan can be called quite satisfactory. People like Antonio Daniels can only be described as unsightly. .Hearing Meng Xu's sudden "appreciation", Antonio Daniels was also a little annoyed. Doesn't this rookie know what it means to swear without revealing mistakes, and to hit someone without slapping them in the face?

It wasn't until today when he saw Anthony Walker on the field that Meng Xu realized that an ugliness is higher than an ugliness, and Anthony Walker's weird haircut has simply reached a new level of ugliness.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Antonio." Looking at the somewhat angry Antonio Daniels, Meng Xu also immediately sent an apologetic smile.

"Fack, Meng, although you are very handsome, the sexual orientation of labor and capital is still very normal." Antonio Daniels looked at Meng Xu's smile, but felt a little uncomfortable, subconsciously took two steps back, and Meng Xu Pulled some distance.

"****, Antonio. I'm talking about the fat guy on the opposite side. If the league makes a list of the ugliest, he will definitely be on the list."

"Meng, you won't get my pass in this game." Antonio Daniels had a dark face. What Meng Xu said just now seemed to him to be completely mocking himself.
