I am so Accurate

The Boston Celtics, one of the most well-known teams in NBA history, and the Lakers are also known as the duo of the league.

16 NBA championships, "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, eight consecutive championships, "Cardinal" Auerbach, "Big Bird" Bird, the battle between yellow and green...

There are too many people and too many stories about this team.

Of course, as Barkley thought in the show, this team has a strong style of play and iron-blooded defense.

To understand it in another sense, their defense is very ruthless, and it is indeed quite... dirty.

Dirty is not necessarily a derogatory term. In the last century, the bad boy legion, Iron Elbow Malone, Jordan's law, that is the real dirty.

Because of the old-school style of play, the Celtics have retained some of their original traditions even in the new century.

Of course, the current Celtics team is no longer comparable to that powerful team.

While their arch-rivals, the Lakers, started another dynasty with the "OK Combination," they themselves were still struggling for the playoffs.

The last time the Celtics entered the playoffs dates back to the 1994-1995 season.

Their record that season was 35 wins and 47 losses.

It's not that they are strong, but that the East was too weak at the time.

In fact, after Bird, McHale and other old teams retired with meritorious service, the Celtics fell into a long period of reconstruction.

But the good news is that they now have a future.

"Green" twin stars Anthony Walker and Paul Pierce.

Walker, nicknamed "Fat Toutuo", was the representative of the league's "Jackpot Player" before Odom.

The league's evaluation of him is "Bird second", and Bird's evaluation of him is "the second magician".

From these evaluations, it can be seen that he is by no means a data brush, but a real player with real strength.

Last season, as a fourth-year student, he averaged 20.5 points, 8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

But Walker has the worst preference. As a power forward, he likes to shoot three-pointers.

This is actually not a bad problem. Look at Nowitzki, a standard space-based power forward.

But the problem was that he...was inaccurate.

Last season, he averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game, but only hit 0.9 per game, with a 25.6% shooting rate!

It's really eye-catching, and it has made the Celtics' management and fans unable to complain.

But Sun Hao knows that this is not the beginning. As a time traveler, he knows that Walker is the real incarnation of the three-point maniac this season.

It's hard for you to imagine that there would be a power forward who averaged 8 three-point shots at the beginning of the century!

You must know that in the 14-15 season when Curry rose, his average number of shots per game is only this number!

But it doesn't matter, fans will see it this season.

Paul Pierce.

"Write it down, my name is Shaquille O'Neal, Paul Pierce is the truth! Take my words and send them out!"

This is what O'Neal said to the media in 2001 when Pierce scored 42 points against the Lakers.

Since then, Truth's name has been known to fans.

Pierce's average data is not beautiful, and few people put him in the comparison of the league's historical super giants.

But only the opponent has the most say.

Just like O'Neal, just like Kobe.

In Kobe's autobiography "Mamba Mentality", Kobe said that the most difficult player to defend is Pierce.

Pierce's physical fitness is not particularly good among superstars, but he can maximize every talent in his body.

He has comprehensive skills, is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, and has a super big heart. He is a player who can play the floor to the extreme.

Last season, only in the second year of his career, he has averaged 19.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

And his shooting percentage reached 44.2%, which was quite impressive at the beginning of the century.

Of course, neither Walker nor Pierce are players who haven't reached their peak yet.

The Mavericks' opening game against such an opponent is a very good start for them.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. This time they are playing away.

The North Shore Garden Arena is by no means an ordinary place.

The day before the game, Sun Hao boarded the plane to Boston with the whole team.

On the plane, Sun Hao purposely went to Eisley's side and heard the story about Pierce's 11 knife that he hadn't finished before.

"Can I live doctor? Can I live?"

Pierce gasped like a gossamer.

There was no answer, the doctor looked at the blood man covered in blood and his clothes were torn into pieces, all he could think about was how to control the blood.

Fortunately, Pierce saved his life because Betty was sent to the hospital in time.

Doctors said he would need a long recovery period, with no strenuous activity for at least a year.

But Pierce was discharged from the hospital three days later, and started training not long after, and even participated in the Celtics training camp on time.

"Is he at the opener?"

After listening to the story, Sun Hao asked curiously.

"Yes, he will, that's the Celtic tradition."

Eisley spoke.

He entered the league early and played against the Celtics a lot.

"Let me tell you something about the North Shore Garden Arena."

Davis made a start, and Sun Hao was full of curiosity.

"You may have heard that the NBA has a lot of devil's stadiums, like the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, their arena is like a canyon, and the decibels of noise can make you feel that your eardrums are being bombed.

Like the Pepsi Center in Denver, where the altitude is more than 1,600 meters, there is always a feeling that you can't breathe at any time.

But the North Shore Gardens are the worst place, or the worst place for visiting teams. "

Sun Hao listened with gusto.

Don't say it, it's actually a very interesting thing for the team to have a teammate who likes to tell stories so much.

"It was the '94-95 season, when I was just coming into the league, playing in San Antonio.

That was the final stage of the regular season. We were only one game away from the Utah Jazz. We won the last game and we were number one in the league.

The same situation also happened to Boston. They were only one game away from the Bucks, and they won to ensure that they entered the playoffs in advance.

But the strength of the two teams is very different, and then there is that game, you know it is spring in April, and the temperature in Boston that day is close to 20 degrees.

We are athletes, we wear jerseys to play, and we don't need to turn on the air conditioner to play games in a closed arena.

But for that game, they cranked the air conditioner to the max, and we were sweating and panting in no time, and it sucked. "

"..."

After listening to what Eisley said, Sun Hao showed a speechless expression.

This is really... shameless enough.

"But it's a gimmick, what they're really known for is floor play."

"Floor tactics?"

This is the first time Sun Hao has heard of this word.

"Yes, you know the venues of NBA games, the floor is often replaced temporarily."

Sun Hao nodded. The NBA stadium is very high-end. He heard that when he went overseas to play a preseason game, the floor was checked by the plane and assembled on site.

"That is to say, during this process, they will deliberately install a few wooden boards with poor elasticity, and then notify the team which boards are which before the game.

Of course, only the players of the home team know, not the players of the visiting team.

When it's time for the game, the players of the home team will deliberately force the players of the visiting team to those wooden boards.

When you're wondering why the ball bounced so low.

'Snapped! '

They've got the ball out of your hands and they're on the fast break.

It's no use complaining to the referee, they won't suspend the game for this, so it works out every time. "

"..."

This is... not a little shameless!

Sun Hao suddenly felt sorry for those Lakers players in the yellow-green game of the last century.

Maybe when they play, they will ask questions like a child, why I suddenly can't handle the ball?

Listening to the story, Sun Hao felt that the first game of his NBA journey would not be as easy as he imagined.

The plane soon arrived at Boston Logan International Airport.

Boston is cloudy today.

After entering October, the temperature here has dropped. Coupled with this weather, the temperature is obviously low, only about thirteen or four degrees.

They just got out of the plane, and many people sneezed unconsciously.

Sun Hao also took out the thermos cup from his backpack and took a sip of hot wolfberry tea to warm up his body.

After putting the thermos back, he suddenly turned his head and spoke to Eisley.

"That game, you said the game in 1995, who won in the end?"

"The Spurs won and we were No. 1 in the league."

Eisley said with a little pride.

Sun Hao smiled.

It seems that those tricks did not succeed in the end.

But that's normal. The number one team in the league plays against a team on the fringes of the playoffs, and off-court factors can still play a limited role.

The Mavericks and the Celtics, although the season has not yet started, but in all aspects, the Mavericks are stronger than the Celtics.

To win the opener, the chance is not small.

The first game of the season, and ESPN praised the Mavericks so highly in the new season, you must know that they did not make the playoffs last season.

Old Nelson also felt the pressure on his shoulders. After the players left their luggage at the hotel, he took them directly to the training hall for training.

After some daily training, Old Nelson also organized a full-court confrontation training match.

And it was different from the round-by-round confrontation match before. The whole team was divided into two groups and played for half the time.

After the game, the players were sweating profusely.

Old Nelson did this to let the players release all the pressure before the game.

After delivering an impassioned season program speech at the end, Nelson Sr. announced the disbandment of the team.

The players also returned to the locker room to take a shower and go back to rest.

But after a while, there was a screaming sound from the shower room.

There is no hot water in the shower room of the visiting team's locker room!

The team staff went to the arena staff, but never came back.

Many players couldn't help but complain loudly.

Because he heard Eisley say those things on the plane, Sun Hao couldn't help laughing.

It's just preseason, and that's what the Celtics do.

This opening game is interesting.
