Chapter 97 094: Payton, the great trash talker (please subscribe and vote monthly)
Under the watchful eyes of Double Wallace, the NBA opener officially came to an end.
Wayne was not the best player on the opening day. After all, Dallas' Dirk had an outstanding performance of 33 points and 10 rebounds in the first game. James and Artest also had better statistics than Wayne.
But Wayne became one of the most watched stars on the opening day, basically sharing everyone's attention with James.
The status of MOP makes American fans full of expectations for Wayne.
In the Chinese market, Chinese fans are full of expectations for Wayne.
With this combination, Wayne surpassed everyone and his fame skyrocketed!
Early the next morning, many local media in Indianapolis also gave positive comments on the new player's performance.
"Indianapolis Cornman": The final piece of the championship puzzle is in place!
"Indiana Times": Wayne will be the best rookie in this class, and Bird made the most correct choice.
"Yincheng News": We have a real MOP.
In just one game, Wayne gained fame and popularity throughout the league.
While Wayne was enjoying the attention of the media and fans in Indianapolis, Wayne's good brother Tony was almost shut down by the criticism.
He was not criticized for being autistic by the media, but was criticized for being autistic by his teammates.
"Why are you so soft? Is this what defensive players in college are like now? You have to work harder. Will you die if you work harder? I didn't feel your presence at all just now!"
In the training hall of North Shore Garden, Tony looked at the chattering bald head in front of him and swallowed his anger.
At this time, the Celtics are making final preparations for the first game of the new season in the evening.
As a rookie, Tony was already very nervous before the start of the game.
As a result, instead of being comforted, he was shattered by Payton, who was training with him.
"Glove" Gary Payton's famous line "I cross you like I cross the road in the morning" is very popular.
Of course, some people now believe that Payton never said this sentence at all, and this sentence may be completely fabricated by the media.
But regardless of whether he has this sentence or not, Payton's foul-mouthed characteristics are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he is still very high in the ranking of trash talk masters.
In the 1996 Finals, Payton and the old gangster exchanged insults so much that Jackson had to replace Pippen to defend Payton.
Because Payton's trash talk distracted the "god".
This shows his ability to talk.
As a newbie, how could Teacher Tony withstand Peyton's spray?
"Hey, today's players are getting worse and worse." Payton couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that he had made Tony stupid with just a few words.
He didn't mean to criticize Tony, he just wanted to strengthen the rookie's heart in advance.
Payton wanted a ring so much that he failed to get it in Los Angeles last year, so he ran to Boston this year.
As long as he can win the championship, Payton doesn't care where he plays.
Since we want to win the championship, the rookies must also play their role.
Therefore, Payton can be said to be quite strict with Tony.
Tony suddenly felt a sore throat when he thought about Wayne having Artest helping him buy drinks while he was being sprayed here.
They are both NCAA champions, so why is the gap so big?
"Hey, what are you thinking about!? Come on, continue!" At this time, Payton's shouts echoed in the training hall again.
"Oh, okay" Tony picked up the basketball.
In the past, he thought it was difficult enough to fight Wayne alone, but now, he realized that Wayne was simply an angel!
Although the one-on-one fight with Wayne was a bit intense, at least he wouldn't be sprayed to the point of shutting down.
That night, the game between the Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers was indeed quite intense.
Paul Pierce scored 35 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, but he still failed to defeat the 76ers led by Iverson.
The change in HC rules allowed Iverson to hit a super high shooting rate of 59.1%!
For most of the game, the Celtics actually had the advantage.
But in the last minute and a half, the Celtics didn't score a point, hitting 5 irons in a row!
Just like that, the victory was ruined.
98 to 95, even though the Celtics made a lot of preparations for the game, they still unfortunately suffered a defeat.
Tony Allen only got 6 minutes of playing time today. He scored 2 points on 1 shot, 1 turnover and 1 foul. It was almost just soy sauce, and it was incomparable with Wayne's debut performance yesterday.
But on the bench, Tony also witnessed the magical fight between the league's top scorers.
Only then did he feel that Payton's request was not excessive at all.
Because on the court, your opponents are often more aggressive than your teammates.
At the end of the game, Payton felt quite uncomfortable when he saw AI and his teammates meeting and high-fiving each other to celebrate their first win of the season.
The seemingly ambitious Celtics still lost, just like the Lakers last season.
Why is it so difficult to win the championship?
Payton left the game silently, and Tony returned to the locker room dejectedly.
Of course, because of the loss, Tony did not receive a practical debut gift like Wayne.
The Celtics players have no intention of doing that now. Everyone is unhappy when they lose.
It has to be said that the gap Tony encountered after entering the NBA was much greater than that of Wayne.
Subsequently, several reporters were allowed into the locker room to interview the players.
Among them, some people walked up to Tony.
"Tony, today's game is really a pity. If you could have more playing time, do you think you could change the ending?"
"There are no ifs on the basketball court. If you lose, you lose. What we have to do is sum up experience and strive to play better." Although Tony was aggrieved, he was not stupid enough to talk nonsense.
Now openly saying that the playing time is too little is not seeking death.
"Speaking of the next game, the day after tomorrow, the Celtics will play the Pacers in the North Shore Garden. You and Wayne are about to meet again as opponents. What are your expectations for this game?"
After hearing this question, Tony smiled slightly: "I hope both of us can perform well!"
"But Wayne is now a Pacers player."
"I know, then only if he performs well, and then we beat the Pacers, hahahahaha."
After answering the reporters' questions, Tony shook his head.
do not know why.
He actually missed that guy a little bit
※※※
Although Wayne yelled on the phone, "Tony, your debut performance will definitely not be as good as mine."
But seeing Tony basically sitting on the bench for the whole game, Wayne was still worried.
I have no choice but to wait until the 5th to mock Tony in person!
This is probably a true friend.
Speaking of which, it is indeed a pity that Lukai lost this game.
It was obvious that they were going to win, but who knew there would be a collective misfire at the last moment.
It is quite difficult to lose. In the last five shots, the Celtics would not lose if they scored a three-pointer.
But they just avoided the basket perfectly, and it was so impressive.
From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to win the next game.
As long as Artest can keep an eye on Pierce, most of the Celtics' combat effectiveness will be gone.
During training the next day, Artest was unexpectedly very serious.
During the simulated actual combat training in the afternoon, he even competed with his teammates with live ammunition.
Of course, Artest did not fight with Wayne, he also wanted to save his ribs.
"Hey, PP is going to be in bad luck tomorrow." Watching Artest knock down another teammate, O'Neill next to Wayne sighed.
"What's wrong with him?" Wayne asked cautiously. This time the hatred was implanted a little too much.
"What's going on? We're going to fight Paul Pierce tomorrow. Those two guys are old enemies. Didn't you see the scene where he took off Paul Pierce's pants when he was defending Pierce last season?"
Xiao Ao reminded Wayne that there seemed to be such a famous scene.
In a certain game last season, while Artest was guarding Paul Pierce, he didn't know what was wrong with him and suddenly took off his jersey pants.
Moreover, the scene where Pierce was still in a vacuum can be called a restricted scene.
What was even more outrageous was that after Pierce put on his pants, he acted as if nothing was wrong. He immediately ran out to catch the ball and hit Artest with a slap into the net.
Really, he turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone when he pulls up his pants.
The two of them are perfect match, one is more showy than the other.
At this point, Pierce and Artest were indeed bitter enemies. They both play the third position, but one has a gorgeous offense, the other has a strong defense, and both are in the East.
The "contradiction" between the two has become a beautiful scenery in the east during this period.
No wonder Artest started sharpening his knife early today.
Speaking of which, Artest also has many enemies in this league, and there is a long queue of people who want to kill him.
But there are not many good teammates.
This is the true reverse social butterfly, and Wayne is resigned to his defeat.
Early the next morning, the Pacers boarded a plane to Boston.
On the plane, the most repeated sentence between Artest and Wayne was: "Do you believe I can make Pierce look bad tonight?"
Wayne nodded his head: "I believe it, I believe it, isn't it okay, brother? Do you have to ask me every ten minutes?"
The teammates on the side all laughed, but only Wayne could stand Artest's "torture."
If it had been anyone else, they would have changed seats long ago.
Wayne actually wants to change too. The key is that every time he wants to stand up, he will see the pleading eyes of his teammates.
Now that Wayne is gone, Artest can't harass others. Others will not have a good life!
There was no other way, as a rookie, he could only bear all this silently.
After arriving at the airport at noon, the players marched directly towards the North Shore Garden.
Compared with Cleveland, the attitude of Boston fans towards the visiting team can be said to be quite bad.
Wayne couldn't even imagine what it would be like when the Lakers came here to play.
The badness of Boston fans is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the 2002-03 season, the Nets met the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals. As a result, the Nets defeated their opponents 4-0 to advance.
However, after the series, the then Nets coach Byron Scott couldn't laugh at all. Instead, he poured a lot of bitterness on reporters.
"I don't know why, but those people seemed to have come here after drinking a lot of alcohol. Also, they seemed to dislike black athletes."
"Not only did they attack the players, Boston fans also insulted Kidd's black wife who was sitting in the audience watching the game. I was so scared that I told my wife not to come to the game."
Finally, Byron Scott concluded: "The fans here are too crazy. 'Crazy' is a more elegant description. As for the unpleasantness, everyone knows it."
This is Boston, and this is how you get treated when you play on the road at North Shore Garden.
What's more, today's guest is Pierce's old enemy Artest, and the Pacers' treatment must be VIP level.
The bus stopped, and Artest was the first to rush off, as if he was going to challenge Pierce now.
Wayne stood up slowly. At this time, Xiao Ao came over and patted Wayne on the shoulder.
"Be prepared, Wei. Don't blame me for not reminding you, the place you are going to may be hell." After saying that, Xiao Ao shrugged and got off the bus.
Although he knew that North Shore Garden was the home of the Devils, Wayne had no special feeling before.
But now that everyone was saying this, it made him a little nervous.
You seniors, aren't you doing this a disservice?
In this way, after a series of routine preparations, the Pacers players officially took the field to warm up.
After the game started, Wayne was sprayed quickly when he came on the court.
But it wasn't because of the fans.
It was sprayed by Payton.
He finally took action on Tony's good buddy.
Each data statistics will be summarized at night and updated first during the day.
