The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 39: Paul Pierce

(Recently, I worked overtime on New Year's Day recently. Yesterday was too late and too tired. I didn’t want to turn on the computer. I stopped for another day. I’m sorry.) NBA summer time always flies quickly. With the dust settled in the draft, 1999-2000 The smoke of the season has long been dissipated in the waves and breeze.

   But this is still a season worth remembering, especially for the Los Angeles Lakers.

   The Los Angeles Lakers got their wish and won both the 2000 Finals and the regular season championship.

Their super insider Shaquille O’Neal ushered in a Grand Slam season, the championship, the finals MVP, the regular season MVP, the All-Star Game MVP, and even the scoring champion. This super monster finally landed on the West Coast and brought With the Zijin Lakers returning to the top of the world.

  In contrast, the old enemy Boston Celtics on the East Coast still seem to be drowned in darkness.

   In the 2000 draft with no talent, they got a guard who should have appeared in the second round, and a guard who couldn't shoot the ball. What's the point? It is said that this is the opinion of their new scout.

   Pitino is still squatting in the position of president and head coach. Auerbach has not been on the top for a long time. I don't know if it is giving Pitino the last chance.

Then the Celtics also got the league’s outcast, the source of trouble Dennis Rodman, this conservative and ancient city of basketball is about to welcome such a colorful guy, and many media ridiculed Rodman’s arrival. Let Auerbach live 5 years less.

Of course, the Celtics’ new scout is also of interest. Although some media reports on him are incidental, on July 1st, a picture of Rodman and this man named Fox- Photos of Leon’s scouts who wrestled in a boxing ring in a Sydney hotel gym began to circulate on the Internet, and were soon printed on the paper media.

Some people think that this is the key to this scout who can bring Rodman back to the Celtics. This guy will wrestle; and some people think that this is a bad job. A scout ran to fight with the player. This player is Dennis. Rodman.

It can be said that the Celtics are quite lively this summer, the interior is messy, the draft is not satisfactory, two weird guys have come, and there is no sign of improvement. It seems that they will continue to be in the dark. Slipped down.

   But Paul Pierce doesn't care about this. After the season, he returned to his hometown of Los Angeles, deaf to all the news of Boston, and concentrated on his summer training.

This kid who grew up in the Inglewood District has been a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Lakers since he was a child, but in the 1998 draft, he was selected by the Lakers’ arch-enemy Celtics with the tenth overall pick. He never expected it. The team and a pick he never expected.

Paul Pierce didn’t want to play basketball anymore, but because of his love of basketball, his persistence in professionalism, and hatred for the top nine teams that didn’t choose him, Pierce still wears his hatred. The green jersey started the Celtics career.

Now he has successfully spent two seasons. In the 1999-2000 season, his scoring average climbed to 19.5 points, which is already a star level in the league. Pitino treats him very well. In order to train him, he traded and overlapped with his position. Ron Mosser, who gave him enough playing time and off-court guidance, is grateful to Pitino Pierce. After all, he picked himself in 1998 and cultivated himself carefully in two years.

On the contrary, Pierce didn’t have much feelings for Auerbach. After all, before being selected by the Celtics, the little Pierce hated this "everything" old man in the green shirt. After coming to Boston, Auerbach gradually Fade out of the Celtic management until he resigned.

   Now in Los Angeles, at UCLA, Pierce is training with his high school friend Kevin Garnett. Starting from high school, Kevin Garnett will often travel a long distance from South Carolina to the high school in Los Angeles, California to socialize, compete, and train.

   Inglewood High School where Pierce is located is where Garnett often goes. In Garnett's words, they became good brothers on the court after meeting for the first time.

   Now they are the leaders in the NBA. In the summer, they will still train together, and then after a sweaty training session, they drink ice soda and start talking nonsense on the sidelines.

  Garnett mentioned Fox Leon. He recalled that after the draft, he went to Leon's room to find a place and was shocked. Garnett didn't feel ashamed about this, on the contrary, he described the situation that day in great detail, even exaggerated, because in his words Leon was as cold and ruthless as Hades Harris and it was prohibitive.

"I don't believe a word of what you say, I always believe you, but now no, is your brain frozen by the blizzard in Mingzhou?" Pierce said with a face that you killed me and I didn't believe it. He His voice was nothing like a young man in his early 20s, but a husky like a half-old man.

Garnett widened his eyes and explained to Pierce that he hadn’t lied at all. Pierce just shook his head and drank a soda, and then continued: “I have also heard some rumors about this guy recently. It’s just a scout that popped up somewhere. It’s no big deal. We’re not rookies anymore. By the way, I’m going to meet in Boston tomorrow. I don’t know when I’ll see you next time, brother.”

Hearing Pierce say this, Garnett is no longer obsessed with explaining. He gave Pierce a hug and said in his ear: "Next time I go to Boston, I will knock you down, and I really want to beat that Fox. -Leon had a meal and knocked his jaw off."

In this way, after bidding farewell to Garnett, Pierce wanted to bid farewell to Los Angeles. One summer he further improved his agility in the UCLA training hall, and honed his offensive skills repeatedly. In the one-on-one offensive and defensive training, he constantly improved his footsteps, because Garnett has an excellent defensive footsteps. If his footsteps can fool Garnett, he can fool all defenders in the league.

   At this time, the time has come to the end of September, and the summer has slowly reached his tail. With the coming of autumn, the training camps of each team will also be reopened.

After the players have completed their self-quality improvement and training, they must report to the team and work together with their teammates. This is extremely important for the new season. The off-season joint training is for the new season. Saving ammunition, the firepower of the team in the new season depends on how full and effective the team's joint training is.

   Pierce was on the noon flight, UU reading www.uukanshu. When com arrived at Boston Logan International Airport, it was 7:30 pm Eastern time in Boston. Someone had been waiting for him in the parking lot at the airport. It was his good buddy in the team, Celtics center Tony. -Batty.

Barty was exchanged by Pitino in a deal with the Lakers in 1998. The person he exchanged with was called Chavez-Nate, who was the first center signed by Pitino—a big white man. , This is a totally unknown signing, and finally realized that he was wrong Pitino exchanged Nat for Batty. At any rate Batty is a good player, and he quickly became a good friend of Paul Pierce. .

   After a good friend picked up the wind, Pierce, who was struggling with a lot of traffic, slept in Batty’s apartment and replenished his strength. When he woke up, it was already early in the morning.

At this time he saw Batty change his outfit and looked hip-hop and playful. He said to Pierce: "Hey buddy, get up, go out to have fun at night, and my brother Derek, anyway, you didn’t wake up sleepy. The training camp will start soon, and there will be no time to go out and play by then."

Pierce knew that Barty wanted to take him to the nightclub with him. In fact, Pierce didn’t like to go there. He didn’t like to go to that place to consume energy as soon as he returned to Boston. However, the fresh curiosity of young people still moved him, anyway. He slept for four hours full of energy, so it's okay to go to that kind of feasting place to give vent to it. The two months of training in Los Angeles were hard and boring days.

   Finally, Pierce was told to move, he also changed a suit, got in Batty's car, and ran towards the bar where Batty often goes.
