Before Pierce made that decision, he might not have imagined that his career would have a "second spring" because of it, and this second "spring" was more "sunshine" than all the springs he had experienced before. bright"!
This is the first time that Pierce has truly reversed his tainted reputation since he became the "blame man" of the US team in the failed Olympic Games.

He seemed to suddenly become great!

"Our leader" is the title given to him by the Celtics fans. The "Boston Daily News" also withdrew the prepared article praising Shi Lei's help to the team. In the wave, it helped people recall Pierce's glorious years with the Celtics.

"In the 1998 draft, Paul Pierce was selected by the Celtics with the tenth pick in the first round. This was a great decision. In that famously shortened season, he played 48 games and averaged 16.5 points and 6.4 Rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks, of which both scoring and rebounding data ranked second among rookies of the year.

In the 2000-01 season, Pierce, as the only full-time player of the team, averaged 38 minutes per game and became the team's scoring leader with an average of 25.3 points per game, ranking eighth in the NBA.Since Bird, he is also the first Celtics player to score more than 2000 points in a single season. In March 2001, he won the title of 'Best Player', the first Boston Celtics player to receive this award in 3 years.

He once led the team to the Eastern Conference finals, and he once scored 19 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Celtics to complete the NBA's biggest comeback. In the 2003-04 season, he scored 436 points in just 10000 games, an NBA record at the time."

But all this is just the beginning. Today's Pierce is no longer what he was yesterday. He has become a man who can rival all the great perimeter players in the past.

A hurricane named "Pierce" blew up in the United States. He baptized every inch of land here, and spread towards the opposite bank of the ocean without stopping.

In China, Pierce has also officially become the most popular NBA player. He surpassed McGrady and Kobe. People like to call him "Uncle Pi"!
"Uncle Pi" seems to have truly become an uncle. At the Lakers' home court, when he played the game, he received enthusiastic applause from the opponent fans, even though the Lakers were already 13 points behind the Celtics at this time.

"This goes beyond basketball itself. Yes, this is a noble character. He will help people understand the NBA correctly and help people realize loyalty!"

David Stern mentioned Pierce in an interview with the media.

Moral character is a good thing. Although people’s moral integrity can’t find the lower limit, people still have unlimited desire for beautiful things. In this wave of trends, Time magazine has already started to take action. They are inviting Pierce to shoot for their cover A set of photos.

These are things that have nothing to do with the game, but people no longer care about the game itself, and it is no surprise that the Lakers were swept by the Celtics at their home court!
"2008-2009 season championship winner - Boston Celtics!"

With the commentary of the host who broadcast this series of games on various channels, the fans were excited. This is a series of games without any suspense, but it meets the expectations of most people.

A story should have a happy ending, shouldn't it?
But this is not the end, but the beginning.

Shi Lei held up the final "FMVP" trophy, he finally got the most important first honor in his life.

"Should I be satisfied? No! It will only make me hunger for more glory, we are a great team, for us, we should have a greater goal. Yes, in the next season, we I will continue to work hard for the championship!"

This was supported by teammates.

"Yes, the Celtics will not stop their footsteps!" - Pierce.

"We need more honor!" - Ray Allen.

"In fact, we've just finished running in!" - Garnett.

"Yes, I'm already thinking about next season, and I already know how to do it!" - Rivers.

However, the Lakers did not disarm. After a summer of operations, they completed a shocking deal. They traded from Orlando to Howard, the active NBA center. For this reason, they sent the team's center Bynum and the following years. first-round pick.And he successfully lobbied the Mavericks point guard Kidd, signed the former league's No. 5 point guard with a veteran contract, and Artest was traded from the Rockets, forming a terrifying "F[-]"!
But for them, the biggest failure of the new season that has not yet started is that their sixth man, Odom, defected to the Celtics on his own initiative!
Odom has also become the founder of the "I can't beat you, I'll hug your thigh" genre!Well, so the great Lamar Odom, he led the trend of the NBA.

However, this blow to the Lakers is far less shameless than O'Neill's shameless joining the Celtics with a veteran's basic salary.

O'Neal seemed to have no nostalgia for the Lakers, and he didn't seem to plan to retire there. Before reaching the Celtics, he uttered wild words: "Bryant? If he wants to get a championship ring, unless he is willing to be like me Willing to be Shi's helper! That is a young man who can make opponents despair, the future NBA will belong to him, although it is already!"

But this is not all the deals the Celtics have made this season. In fact, their lineup has undergone earth-shaking changes this year.

After they signed Odom and O'Neal, they immediately sent a three-year contract to an unemployed player named James White. Although the Celtics did not seem to need this player, their The new core needs that person.

Then, when people were struggling with their lineup for the new season, they traded the team's main center, Perkins, who won the championship for two seasons, and exchanged their rookie Mark Garcia from the Grizzlies. Saul, with the first-round pick and some cash, this was a free deal at the time!

Then Eddie House announced his retirement, the Celtics laid off "Victory Cigar" and Mickey Moore, traded a few draft picks or cash for the next few years with Giddens and others, and sent them away "big baby".
