One Guard

In the penultimate round of the regular season, the competition is still fierce. This is probably why the NBA is so popular.

In the West, no one is safe except the Warriors and the Mavericks who just won 72 wins.

The Rockets and Clippers are fighting for third place in the West, and third to seventh are also fighting hard to avoid strong enemies. Eighth place, whether the Pelicans or the Thunder can catch the last train of the playoffs is still unknown.

In contrast, the situation in the east is much gentler. The ranking of the top five in the East has been completely fixed, and the results of the last two games will not have any impact on the top five in the East.

Eighth in the East, the Nets, Pacers and Heat are still fighting for the final playoff ticket. Of course, the most intense competition in the East still comes from the Bucks and Celtics. After all, no team is willing to face the Cavaliers in the first round!

The current competition is directly related to their fate in the playoffs. Although neither the Bucks nor the Celtics are aiming for a championship, there is no doubt that neither Kidd nor Stevens are the kind of people who are willing to just come to the playoffs for a cutscene.

"If I win the game tomorrow, don't blame me. After all, you still have a chance to break the record." When talking on the phone with Yiyang, Stevens had a faint smile on his face.

"Rick said that the last game is off, so tomorrow is our last chance to break the record. Unfortunately, Brad, it seems that we will inevitably have a big fight." On the other end of the phone, Yiyang's voice was very excited. . Stevens even felt that Yiyang's voice was exactly the same as when they were about to play in the NCAA finals.

Expectation, excitement, excitement... Brad shook his head, but unfortunately, now he and Yiyang are on the opposite side.

"Don't take it lightly, because you know, I won't let you win easily."

"Don't worry Brad, if there is a coach in this league that I must be more careful, it is you. Take a good rest and see you tomorrow at North Shore Garden."

"See you at North Shore Garden, buddy."

Hanging up, Stevens didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Yiyang is so serious, tomorrow's game will definitely be very difficult for the Celtics. But Yiyang's enthusiasm before the playoffs made Stevens very pleased.

Looking at the clock in the office, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Stevens rubbed his temples, and it was time to leave work and go home to accompany his wife and children.

Stevens put on his briefcase and walked out of the office. The Celtics’ head coach’s office, like the Mavericks, is located on the training ground. As soon as the office door opens, it is the team training ground.

The Celtics' training ended at 5:30 in the afternoon, but when Stevens came out, the training ground was still brightly lit. A figure was still shooting a basket on the training ground, Stevens smiled, who else could be besides him?

A sturdy figure, tattoos on both arms, a determined expression, sweating on his head and his iconic height of 1.75 meters.

Isaiah Thomas, the guy who made the Celtics out of the playoffs into the ranks of the playoffs.

"Isaiah, it's time to rest!" Stevens looked at the 1.75 meter back figure that never stopped, as if he had seen Yiyang, who was also always on the training ground at night.

"Boss!" Little Thomas heard the shout, stopped his hand movement, smiled and nodded at Stevens.

"Have you been practicing shooting?" Stevens simply sat on the bench on the sidelines and chatted with Thomas.

"No, I just practiced some strength. You know, my figure, if the strength is insufficient, it will be difficult to adapt to the game."

"You are strong enough Thomas, you still have to pay attention to rest. Go back early. Tomorrow will be a tough battle."

"Yeah, tough fight. Tomorrow, I will face up with the greatest star of this era." Thomas said the greatest star, referring to Yiyang.

In fact, it's not just Thomas who calls him that way now. The title of "the greatest player of this era" has been mentioned by more and more people.

"Haha, are you the greatest player of this era..." Stevens lowered his head and smiled. At the beginning, he just thought Yiyang could play in the NBA. But to be honest, Yiyang's current achievements have completely exceeded Stevens's expectations.

"How did you train him in the first place?" At this time, little Thomas simply sat beside Stevens. "I heard that before he went to college, he was unknown."

"Indeed, even I don’t even know if he will succeed. You know, it’s more like a gamble. I gave him the only basketball scholarship in my hand in an attempt to add an unknown player. Next, launched an impact on the NCAA championship. At that time, the whole world said that Brad Stevens was crazy. He actually went to find a guy with a yellow skin. As a result, that guy was very smart and hardworking. I imagined being diligent." When he said the word diligence, Stevens turned his head and looked at the little Thomas next to him.

"To be honest, my training is actually not important. The important thing is that he is willing to work hard. Then, we won the NCAA championship. And in only one year, we reached the top three in the draft!"

"It sounds like it is now. I still remember that some media said that Brad Stevens was crazy. He actually asked for a guy who was only 1.75 meters tall." Little Thomas smiled self-deprecatingly.

175. For basketball players, this number generally refers to body weight. In the NBA, athletes weighing 175 kilograms abound. But if the height is only 175, there are not many examples. Don't say that a 1.75 meter person plays in the NBA, or NCAA, you will rarely see such a short player!

Facts have proved that Thomas Jr.'s NBA road is indeed very bumpy. In 2011, this guy was selected at the last pick. But this does not mean that Thomas has been comfortable all the way. Obviously, this guy's ambition is not just to eat in the NBA.

But in the end, none of his abilities touched the king and the sun. Thomas was kicked as a ball, and eventually ended up in the Boston Celtics.

When he learned that he was traded, he was very annoyed, because even though he was not in line with the sun, the sun could rank 7th or 8th in the west. Boston traded away Rondo, traded away Jeff Green, traded away many players, and they are rebuilding. So when he learned that he was traded to the Celtics, Thomas thought to himself: "Oh, I'm going to a team that is rebuilding and confidence is at a low point."

Then Thomas checked, the Celtics are only one game away from the playoffs!

At this point, all the unhappiness in Thomas's heart was wiped out, because this is precisely an opportunity to prove his ability! Thomas made up his mind~www.readwn.com~ to bring the Celtics to the playoffs!

"Thomas Jr. will play an important role in the team. We will make good use of his abilities to get the team into the playoffs. He is an underrated player and always has been. But in Boston, he will find his own position. And use your abilities."

Thomas Jr. still remembers what Stevens said to reporters on his first day with the team. In the first game at the North Shore Garden Arena, he can feel the energy when he wears a Celtic player. Put on the Celtics jersey, you must play 110% spirit every night, because there is too much history and glory behind. Of course, there is also Stevens's trust in himself.

The results of it? In the end, he and Stevens, who were ridiculed by the media, really brought the Celtics into the playoffs.

"Hahahaha, don't say it, the media are always very similar. So, we can definitely do miracles. The Mavericks with 72 wins are not invincible."

Hearing Stevens speaking, Thomas Jr. recovered from his daze. He has never felt this way before, this kind of willingness to go through fire and water for a coach, willing to play under him for a lifetime!

"I will do my best, even if the opponent is." Little Thomas looked forward with a serious attitude.

Stevens patted Thomas on the leg and stood up. These guys are indeed the same as Yiyang. They are all guys who don't know the heights of the sky, but can really create miracles!

"Go home early and rest, tomorrow's game won't be easy. Goodbye, Isaiah."

"Goodbye, boss."
