Chapter 64 Before the Game
With an away win over the Bulls and another win over the Kings at home, the Celtics expanded their winning streak to 11 games, and the number of wins and losses became 19 wins and 1 loss.

But the bad news is that Ray Allen is injured and he must miss one or two games.

Is it bad news?Anyway, Chinese fans are cheering for this, because the Celtics' next opponent is the No. 6 pick this year-the Milwaukee Bucks!
People prefer to call this kind of game "Chinese Derby".

In the United States, not many people paid attention to this game, but in China, it was a completely different scene. Some people were absent from work, some were absent from school, some asked for leave, and some stayed up late, just to watch the live broadcast of the game on CCTV5.

The farce of signing in the summer and the impact of joining the national team made Shi Lei a star who is as well-known as Yi Jianlian in China.

As the hottest sports rookie of the year, the first face-to-face match between the two of them naturally attracted a lot of attention. In addition to the broadcast, CCTV5 even arranged a special interview team to conduct a live interview with the two people before the game.

Shi Lei and Yi Jianlian haven't played yet, but because of the relationship between the contract and the high draft, they have become the "future" of domestic basketball that fans look forward to. This is a burden that ordinary people cannot bear!
The interview was very routine, it was nothing more than recalling the past, looking forward to the future, talking about the opponent's opinion, the expectation of his own performance, etc. However, this routine interview took up a long time for Shi Lei before the match. After he finally finished the interview, it was almost time for the game to start.

After satisfying the wishes of several camera brothers to sign and take a group photo, he was finally able to return to the locker room.

The standard time for a game is 48 minutes, but it takes almost two hours for the players to participate in a ball game.

Warm-ups, pre-match interview time, cheerleading performance time, intermittent timeouts, are all important components of a complete game.

After arranging the tactics in Rivers, the teammates who were joking with each other just now gradually became serious, took off the earphones on their ears, put away the tablet for playing games, put them in the locker, carefully checked the protective gear on their bodies, tied Tighten the laces of your shoes.When everything was done, Pierce boosted morale as usual, and led his teammates out of the locker room one by one.

Shi Lei had been the team's starter, but it was the first time he started at home, so this was his first experience of the appearance ceremony of an NBA player.

"Shi Lei!"

When he heard the DJ calling his name, Shi Lei immediately ran out from the dark tunnel waving his hands.As soon as he appeared, the fans at the scene immediately cheered enthusiastically, and several Celtics No. 11 jerseys were also danced by the fans.

In the United States, just like the "big mouth" Bogut who was hyped up by the media, Shi Lei's reputation is also synonymous with arrogance, but in Boston, he has been recognized and loved by more and more fans.

His defense and serious game attitude, let him win it all.Here, people's doubts about him are gradually decreasing, and they slowly begin to accept the statement that "he will be our future" transmitted by the team.

Everything on the scene was transmitted to the country by satellite signal, and Shi Lei's dancing jersey gave a big close-up.

When the last Pierce came out, the scene reached its climax, and then the whole ceremony came to an abrupt end.

At this time, there is still a period of time before the start of the game. If the opponent has his friends in the lineup, most of them will say hello and hug each other.

As a landlord, Shi Lei approached Yi Jianlian at this moment.

After returning from China, Shi Lei had contacted Yi Jianlian several times. This does not mean that they established a friendship during the few days of the warm-up match. In fact, their relationship at that time was just acquaintance.

The cause of the matter is still "Nike", the sporting goods giant.

Yi Jianlian was selected in sixth place, and the agent team started a new round of endorsement negotiations with "Nike", but during the negotiations, Shi Lei suddenly emerged.

Generally speaking, outsiders sell shoes more than insiders, and Shi Lei was fired again in the United States, so "Nike" slowed down the negotiation with Yi Jianlian, and contacted Shi Lei instead.

Schwartz was stunned at the time, especially when "Nike" revealed the amount. He has been controlling Shi Lei's contract. He has signed some small contracts, but the most profitable and influential contract for athletes is the one. He didn't sign it either, he was just waiting for Shi Lei to show his worth, but he never thought that this contract would come so early, Shi Lei didn't even play a game with the Celtics.

But what surprised Schwartz even more was that Shi Lei actually refused.
Shi Lei thought very simple at the time. First, he didn't like "Nike". When he knew that the sneaker brand he had bought the most, but practiced double standards in China and other countries, he would stop. I have never bought any products from this company.

Second, and most importantly, "cutting people's fortunes is like killing their parents." With so many big companies at this time, he really doesn't need to compete with Yi Jianlian.

So after Shi Lei got Schwartz's call, he called Yi Jianlian.After going back and forth, although the two of them never met again, they became acquainted a lot.

Seeing Shi Lei pass by, Yi Jianlian immediately stood up and walked out of the bench.Because in the United States, two people embraced each other as they did in the Romans.

In fact, there is nothing to say, after all, the two people don't even know each other's personality.After a brief exchange of words, Shi Lei returned to where his team was.

"China Central Television, China Central Television, welcome to this episode. I am the host, Yu Jia. Sitting next to me is the special guest Zhang Weiping, director of this competition."

As the game time approached, the tidbits on the TV screen were cut off, and the host of the show appeared on the TV.

"The game is about to start, let's take a look at the starting situation of both sides."

Celtics: Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Shi Lei, Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins.

Bucks: Maurice Williams, Michael Reid, Desmond Mason, Yi Jianlian, Andrew Bogut.

Garnett, who was at the end of his career peak, beat Bogut with a jump ball, and the Celtics got their first chance to attack.

The fans who were a little quieter became enthusiastic again.Rondo got the basketball. He stood on the spot and slapped the basketball slowly, waiting for his teammates to take their positions.

Immediately behind Pierce, Shi Lei ran across the half court, and then the two separated, on both sides of the three-point line.

Dodging Williams who was defending himself, Rondo passed the ball and handed the basketball to Pierce.

"The game started, the Celtics took the lead in attacking, and the basketball was handed over to Pierce."
