NBA basketball rhythm monster

How does a rookie gain a foothold on the team and become loved by the fans?

The general process is like this.

First of all, his performance on the court is not that bad. According to the team's positioning, whether he is a starter or a substitute, he must make corresponding contributions to the team.

In addition, it is normal for a player's performance to be good and bad during his rookie period. People are always extra tolerant and generous to players in their rookie period.

Poor shot selection resulting in low hit rate?

It's okay, a rookie's touch is always developed step by step.

Is it easy to get hot-headed and lead to an unqualified assist-to-turnover ratio?

It's okay, no one is born a master of organization, and it takes time to adapt to the NBA and integrate with the team.

Poor defense makes you become the team's cash machine?

It's okay, as long as you have a correct attitude and practice defense well, right? The worst thing is that you will have less playing time in the playoffs.

In short, except for the kind of super rookies who are at their peak when they debut, every team is mentally prepared to a certain extent for the growth of rookies.

As long as you can bring them the most precious things in the world, hope and honor.

Then, if you stay in the NBA long enough, you have developed your talents enough, and occasionally you can play one or two good games.

At this time, the fans who watch you play every day will gradually become your fans.

If you are more friendly and actively participate in team community activities, your fan stickiness will be even better. In a few years, you will be a high-quality idol in their home team.

At that time, you will have familiar staff who train with you every day, fans who support you all the time, and comrades who will fight side by side with you and overcome difficulties. This ball will be engraved on your body unknowingly.

Danny and Angie looked at Luo Li, who was surrounded by everyone cheering at the airport. They couldn't help but feel happy and worried for him.

The happy thing is that Li Luo's eloquence is really outstanding. Danny, Angie has been in Boston for more than twenty years, and has never seen such a strange thing.

Listening to the cheers at this scene, it was clearly a fan meeting. He easily made the hostile opponent change his mind and support him. He knew how difficult it was to deal with these white guys.

But this is where the worry lies. Don't look at Luo Li's boasting in front of others now, but if Li Luo cannot fulfill his promise of the O'Brien Cup for a long time.

All the love in the past will turn into the strongest curse in the world, swallowing him up. Whether he is embarrassed or not is a trivial matter. Anji has no doubts about this group of racial discrimination. The arrogant and arrogant white guy has a sudden idea to do something to Li Luo.

The destruction of the body is a strange thing.

A disturbance was turned into a real welcome party by Li Luo. This saucy maneuver gave the few reporters at the scene instant news material. There was a photo of Li Luo standing on a ladder giving a speech.

And the content spread throughout the alliance.

And Li Luo was not the least bit embarrassed about the fact that he had caused a small discussion. At the end, when he was about to get in the car and go to the arena, he even talked to the Celtics fans at the scene.

Waving goodbye.

After getting in the car again and closing the door, Luo Li immediately saw Danny next to him. Anji gave Li Luo a thumbs up.

The meaning is obviously clear:

"Yes, you are the one!"

This action immediately made Li Luo laugh.

"Angie, am I right? The people in Boston are so enthusiastic."

"Forget it, Li, my heart won't be able to bear it two more times." Anji touched her chest exaggeratedly.

"No wonder the old man values ​​you so much, you have the same bad temper as that bird."

"Haha, thank you for using Bird to motivate me. It seems that I am indeed a born Celtic."

"I don't think Bird is as crazy as you. Having you in the Celtics must be very, very..." Anji thought for a long time but couldn't think of an adjective.

"lively."

As the vehicle slowly drove towards the North Shore Garden Arena, Li Luo saw workers setting up scaffolding outside the arena to facilitate the removal of the giant posters posted outside the arena.

The content of the poster is a photo of the previous Celtics twin stars Paul and Pierce with Antoine and Walker.

Perhaps in the eyes of these workers, it is not a big deal for the NBA, which has a frequent turnover of personnel, to change some posters from time to time. On the contrary, it is more beneficial to them. After all, changing posters is a big business.

As a player, Li Luo felt uncomfortable in his heart. Even though Walker's departure had nothing to do with him, as a player in the same position, he had a deep understanding of what it means to leave someone alone and what a business alliance is.

When we arrived at the arena, Mr. Auerbach had already been waiting in the arena for a long time.

Although Li Luo had done a lot of homework on the old man in the previous preparations, Li Luo was still shocked by the aura of the old man when he actually saw him.

Wearing a light gray suit, he stood quietly on the sidelines, looking at Luo Li who entered the stadium with a smile. It was like looking at a Celtic player who was preparing to go home.

Although he has been "retired" for many years, no one in the entire Celtics can ignore the energy of this old man. For a moment, head coach Jim O'Brien, standing next to Auerbach, seemed to be standing guard next to the godfather.

Just like my younger brother.

Auerbach, who was born in 1917, was already an eighty-six-year-old man, but as people grow old, the famous cardinal showed no sign of fatigue. After listening to Anji whispering quietly,

He even excitedly tapped the wooden floor with his crutch and praised him repeatedly.

Judging from his attitude, I'm afraid the old man spent a lot of effort coordinating the relationship between the team and the indigenous people during his tenure.

"You gave me a big surprise."

Auerbach showed friendliness to Luo Li when he came up. Later, the old man, who had some difficulty walking, insisted on taking Li Luo and introduced him to the entire venue.

"Boy, do you know how many championships the Celtics have?"

"16."

This question obviously does not trouble Li Luo, who has great common sense.

"Yes, 16. We have been the final winners for sixteen years. Young man, look up and take a look."

As he spoke, Auerbach raised his hand and pointed to the sixteen championship flags above his head.

Li Luo followed Auerbach's hand and looked up at the dome of the arena. Only at this moment did he truly feel what the rich heritage is.

In addition to the sixteen densely packed flags of the winning years, there are also retired jerseys of various players with outstanding achievements.

Bob Cousy! Bill Russell! Tom Hainsohn. Even modern Larry Bird, Robert Parrish, McHale!

These ancient and modern names are currently displayed above the dome of the North Shore Garden, demonstrating what it means to be a true Celtic.

How brilliant!

"Ha! I found it, young man. Look at the flag from the 1956-57 season. That year Bill Russell joined the team and we immediately entered the finals and even played a tiebreaker. In the second overtime,

, God bless, Pettit's shot at the last moment bounced a few times on the rim and finally rolled out. The Celtics' first championship was born. I was very young at the time, and I didn't have a ball for two whole days.

sleep."

"There is also the other side. In 1967-68, we lost to Philadelphia the previous year, which made me furious. Fortunately, Russell and his group of great guys were still able to live up to their expectations and win the championship again the next year.

Come back. But if we hadn’t lost last year, we would have won an unprecedented 12 consecutive championships.”

Auerbach introduced each championship banner to Li Luo one by one. At this time, he did not look like a famous cardinal in the world, but more like an old kid sharing candy with his friends.

"Oh, Larry was selected in 1978, but that kid had to finish college, strained his back doing housework, and retired at least five years early. How many years ago was our last championship?" (Bird helped him)

My mother built roads and felt that the prices offered by workers were too high, so she might as well do it herself. As a result, she suffered from back injuries throughout her life.)

"86 years!" Li Luo continued smoothly.

"Yeah, 1986, it's almost 17 years now, a child has already reached high school. It's been 17 years!"

"Li Luo, looking at so many championship banners, do you know which one I like best?"

Li Luo shook his head. He really didn't know this question. These 16 championship flags contained too many legendary stories. He couldn't guess the answer, so he waited for Auerbach to reveal it.

Auerbach raised his head and smiled at Luo Li:

"Next side!"
