Chapter 472 Pierce's Choice
"pause!"

Rivers, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, raised his hands and made a time-out gesture to the referee.The referee also decisively stopped the game.

"On June 2009, 6, TD North Shore Garden player, Celtics VS Lakers, Shi Lei, 2 points, 41 rebounds, 17 assists and 13 steals!"

The data displayed on the big screen finally made the event completely excited, like a group of demons dancing wildly, and also like a hell feast.

Shi Lei also jumped from the court to the NBA personnel workbench beside the court, and joined in the carnival. He opened his arms and made a flying posture, his eyes narrowed, as if he was listening to something.

The fans know what he's listening to, and it's louder here.

The whole of Boston was shaking, and those fans who couldn't come to the scene celebrated even more presumptuously in front of the big screen on the wide street.The fireworks that had been prepared for a long time also bloomed in the night sky, and the smell of alcohol began to spread in all directions under the breeze. Some people hugged each other fiercely, and some people began to take off their Celtics jerseys.

At this time, Shi Lei's name also became like a belief!

In the arena that suddenly went dark, Pierce looked at Shi Lei who was the only one shrouded in light with a complicated expression. He knew that the time for him to make a choice had really come!
Kobe is still covered with a white towel. He may be the only person here who is not affected. It is not because he is also the creator of a "miracle", but because he has never given up!

There is no end to life, no end to battle!
But does he have comrades in arms?
Mayfair Jackson looked at Rivers enviously: "You didn't give full play to his ability at all, your tactics are like shit, he should have performed better long ago!"

The fear in Odom's heart still didn't dissipate completely, he looked at Shi Lei with disgust, but his eyes didn't dare to look directly at him, even under the cover of darkness that Shi Lei couldn't see.

Yes, nightmare!
"Never let me meet him again, ever!"

Bynum looked greedily at Shi Lei who was in the middle of the court: "That person should be me, yes, I should pursue my own data, not someone's helper!"

The celebration lasted for about ten minutes, before the referee finally calmed down the court with a stern whistle, and the game restarted, but is there any point?
No, even the cameras broadcasting the game no longer put their lenses on the field, they are still chasing Shi Lei's figure, and the lip-language experts urgently invited by the TV station are also constantly translating what Shi Lei is following at this moment. What his teammates say.

There are only a small number of shots, which will be scattered on Kobe from time to time.He scored 52 points in the finals, which is also a good enough statistic, but this is not the reason why he was able to share the camera. In fact, what the media wanted to capture was just how ugly his expression would be!
Being an enemy of the whole world is part of the reason for Kobe's success, because it will make him fall into the fate of being besieged by all enemies after every failure.

After the game, he received such a baptism.

"How do you feel about today's game?"

"How do you feel about your performance today?"

"How do you feel about today's opponent?"

Those "hows", "hows", "hows" devoured him, which made him painful and angry, however. He still faced all these with a straight body, just like when he first came here .

The unconcealable sternness on Kobe's face made May Jackson stand up in time to block those attacks. He knew when to help his players.Maybe they don't need to.

"The Celtics played very strong today. They reminded me of the Bulls in the past. Each of them knew what to do and knew where they were, so they won. Kobe has Did everything he can do, he has scored 52 points, not many people can do it in that situation, this is the only thing that comforts me today. He reminds me of a line that Michael once said : 'I can accept failure, but I accept giving up'! Yes, we still will not give up, just like Kobe did today, we will still fight for victory!"

"Struggle? Mr. Jackson, the Lakers lost to the Celtics by 31 points in this game. This is No.2 with the largest gap in the history of the finals. May I ask how much you think you need to pay to make up the gap between you ?”

The huge failure of the Lakers finally made the media no longer hide the malice between them. Kobe's face became colder, and the anger in his heart became more surging. He thought of his teammates who behaved like shit!

However, Mayfair Jackson is indeed a person who is used to strong winds and waves. He can still barely maintain his demeanor: "Gap? You may not be watching the game seriously, Mr. Reporter. In fact, the reason why we failed today is because We didn't guard their power forward, we all thought he wouldn't be a big threat in this position, but we all misjudged a great player, yes, we underestimated him! So we just need to be in the next In this game, we will do a better job of defending him, and we will be able to make the game suspenseful again!"

Although Mayfair Jackson said so repeatedly, in the second day's report, the media still used the headline "The Finals No More Suspense" to report on this year's NBA's peak matchup.

Except for the first time, most of the page was occupied by Shi Lei, and only a small part was reserved for Kobe, whose personal data is also excellent.

"During Magic's rookie year, after Abdul-Jabbar was injured, he became the center of that Lakers team, which led to the Lakers winning the NBA championship that year. Now Stone is doing the same thing again, and he replaced the team's superstar. Garnett, led the team to win the first game of the finals with the second-best point difference in history. This is the third year that Shi entered the NBA, but if you add data like quadruple doubles, he is as good as the magician Where is the gap?"

"Everyone is arguing, who is the best small forward for the Celtics? Is it possible for Stone to surpass Larry Bird in this position in the future? But in the first game of the just-concluded NBA Finals, Shi used his excellent performance to tell people that he may not be the best small forward of the Celtics, but he is already the most powerful power forward in the NBA! He is a taller, faster and more versatile Charles Barkley! He is a Tim Duncan who is shorter but has a stronger scoring ability! He is a Kevin Garnett who has a stronger impact! He is a Karl Malone who has more scoring methods!"

"The NBA has not had a dynasty team for ten years. Since O'Neal left the Lakers, there has been no team with that kind of dominance, but the Celtics have begun to do this. No one was optimistic about them before. After Nate announced his reimbursement for the season, no one thinks so now because they have found a better replacement, but what is incredible is that he is doing better at the power forward position than at the small forward position! He not only won He scored a quadruple-double, and for a period of time, he blocked the counterattack of Kobe Bryant, the most capable scorer in the NBA. However, this is not all he did in the game, what is even more terrifying is his defense It directly caused the two main players of the Lakers to disappear on the court! Yes, it is Pau Gasol and the embodiment of tragedy Lamar Odom, they scored 9 points and 2 points respectively!"

"Who is the laziest person in the NBA? Barkley said that is definitely not me!" Yes, I admit that I hate training and eating and drinking, but I can swear that I am doing my best every game I didn't get even a championship ring in the game. I never knew the reason. I thought it was because Michael was too strong, but I found out my mistake today. Shi used his actual actions to tell everyone like Dedicated guy like me, 'You idiots, why don't you save your best for the Finals'! Look at his defense before, look at what he's doing now, oh man, that's As big as the entire Atlantic Ocean, though that's enough for him to compete for the best defensive player!"

Barkley was not the only person interviewed by the media after the game. In fact, as long as they came to TD North Shore Garden, everyone accepted questions from the media, including many active players, such as a fat man named O'Neal.

"Oh my god, that was unbelievable. I've never seen such a great performance. He was like God tonight. I'm glad I got into the NBA earlier than him, and I'm glad I've got a lot. An honor no one has. However, I never seem to get the best sixth man!"

Fatty's shameless "confession" made Kidd, who was walking with him, very anxious. He didn't even have a feather on his hand!So isn't it just shameless: "I'm considering joining the Celtics after this season, yes, I think they need a point guard like me. Of course, Rondo is doing great, he is very good, But he needs rest too, doesn't he?"

Cao Cao
This is by no means the whole content of the post-match reports. If you collect them carefully, you can even write a novel with a million words. Big event"!
"Hello, Mr. Rivers!"

Pierce came to TD North Shore Garden very early. In fact, he didn't sleep all night. He came here before five o'clock in the morning and sat here without doing anything until Rivers' arrival.

"Paul! You've been here?"

Rivers looked at Pierce in surprise, he couldn't hide the sleepiness and exhaustion on his face, and Rivers asked in surprise.

"Of course not! But I came early. Before I knew it, I had been here for 12 years!"

Pierce's tone was so sad that Rivers had to ask cautiously: "What's wrong with you, Paul!"

"Could it be that he was squeezed by Shi because of his right to shoot?"

Rivers was full of imagination, because in the first game of the finals, Pierce once again scored 10 points, the embarrassing data of a role player.

"I just lament that time always passes quickly, and people are always caught off guard!"

Pierce put his hands in the pockets of his jacket, and lowered his head sadly while talking, his heels unconsciously rubbed the familiar floor, but he quickly raised his head again: "I want to talk to you about football Team tactics!"

"Is it because you have too few shots?"

Rivers' heart skipped a beat.

"No!"

Pierce gave a sassy smile, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly hesitated.

"So what do you want to say?"

Rivers asked eagerly, he didn't want the team to have any trouble at this time.However, all this is not uncommon in the NBA. Disputes about ball rights, positions, salaries, etc. are always happening all the time.

"I want to say Mr. Rivers, why don't you let me play the sixth man!"

As soon as these words were uttered, Pierce suddenly felt a surge of great sadness, it was so turbulent, and the sadness that enveloped him all night and night instantly overwhelmed him.He knew that since he made this decision, his youth, his era, was completely over.

There was a little moisture in his eyes unconsciously, it was nostalgia and sigh!
"But maybe this is the best ending?"

At the same time, he told himself in his heart.He loves here as much as he loves himself!

"Paul!"

Rivers was really shocked this time, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Pierce shrugged: "Don't worry, sir, I have already thought clearly, it is time to hand over the team to Shi, and he can already take on the future of the Celtics. Yes, I am a little sad, but also very sad." I’m glad that this place didn’t continue to fall in my hands!”

The huge impact caused Rivers to be silent for a long time, until Pierce finished speaking, he began to comfort him: "You don't have to do this, Paul, no one asked you to make such a sacrifice, Ray found out last night For me, he told me he would like to be the sixth man on the team."

When Shi Lei showed his dominance, the period of change for the Celtics had come. Pierce knew it, and Ray Allen knew it too, and Ray Allen's situation was more dangerous than Pierce's, so he wanted to find a Ray Allen of "Home" was very smart and told Rivers early that he didn't want anything!

Pierce is doing the same thing now, they know better than anyone else the cruelty here.Although Shi Lei didn't mind them staying here.

"But Stone needs an outside shooter like Ray, so let me do it, it's time for me to make a sacrifice!"
