My superstar background board

Chapter 75 Are You Ready?

Are you ready?
This is the message from Rajon Rondo to Ze Yang on the morning of December 12.

I am always ready.

This is Yang Ze's reply.

Are you ready?
This is what Cheeks, the head coach of the 76ers, told Ze Yang before departure.

"I'm ready to fight the Celtics. I will tell them that I have a very good life in Philadelphia after leaving Boston. I want them to understand that abandoning me is as regretful as the Blazers missed Jordan."

After all, Yang Ze is still a young man in his early 20s, who has never been young and frivolous, and who has never been high-spirited.

Facing the contempt or even ignorance of others, how many people can work like him, almost crazy, just to tell them that your vision is really bad.

Cheeks shook his head and said: "No, I didn't ask this, and I hope you understand that personal grievances should not conflict with rising to the team, but you are a member of the 76ers, and we will try our best to give With your greatest help."

"I understand, Coach Cheeks, thank you for your reminder and help." Yang Ze asked again: "Then what did you ask me just now?"

Cheeks patted Ze Yang on the shoulder and said, "I mean are you ready to start?"

what?
Starter?

Yang Ze was sure he heard right.

"Really?" Cheeks boarded the plane, and Yang Ze hurriedly followed. Although he heard it clearly, he couldn't hide his excitement, so he had to confirm it.

"If you don't even start, they must think you're not doing well in Philly."

Yang Ze was very excited and happy in his heart, and he was also grateful to Cheeks.

"Yang, how do you feel?" Iguodala held his right hand halfway as a microphone to interview Yang Ze.

Yang Ze smiled and said, "Thanks to cctv, thanks to mtv, thanks to all those who support and help me."

"Do you have confidence in today's game?" Iguodala continued his interview.

"It must be done. With you here, I am not afraid of anyone."

Cheeks leaned in front of the "microphone" and said: "You will pay off in the end, and you deserve it. Calm down and start toward your goal."

Yes, hard work will pay off in the end. It has been nearly two years, and the ghost knows what he has experienced.

Every day before dawn, I will conduct boring training at the "dream" training ground, day after day, rain or shine.

In the Weishi club, he dominated the amateur arena, but he almost failed in the trial training and draft.

A three-day trip to Phoenix and wasted three precious months in Boston.

He once fell to the bottom, and even wanted to give up basketball. The old man who overdrawn his life to help him made him understand that you just move towards your dreams, don't be afraid of failure, and don't get frustrated.

Because his life has entered the countdown, he has not given up, why do you give up.

I once fell into the boundless darkness, but the light is right in front of me, and Yang Ze's road to NBA legend has officially begun.

If there was anything Yang Ze lacked in the previous games, yes, it was self-confidence.

After successive victories at the West Lions Club, his self-confidence exploded, and then fell into a trough.

Being abandoned one after another made him lose his confidence. Although he has improved in the 76ers, it is far from enough.

After experiencing a 3+1 quasi-lore, a double-double victory over the Trail Blazers, and receiving a notice to serve as the starter, Yang Ze's confidence has returned.

Even if he is facing Jordan now, Yang Ze wants to say to him: "Michael, you will be my background board."

On the road to Boston again, Yang Ze appeared as a challenger.

In the past, he was at most a passerby in this city.

Those three months were difficult, and only he knew that no one on the team paid attention to him, and the head coach Rivers never looked at him directly. During the team training, he did not receive any notice, even if he was on the scene, He was not allowed to join the training either.

The only one who is not bad is Rajon Rondo, who is also a rookie, but at that time Rondo was very busy in training and preparing for the preseason, so there were not many opportunities for the two to meet.

Those three months were lonely and helpless.

Even now, he never imagined that the Boston Celtics, who carried history and honor, would treat him in such a way.

If there is a gap between people and people, it cannot be made up by an apology, and the conflict between players and the team is also difficult to reconcile.When a person develops resistance to a city, or to the city's team, it is also irreconcilable.

The moment he stepped into the TD North Shore Garden Arena, Yang Ze had an indescribable mood.

He is looking forward to today's game, and he is ready to use all his energy.

Remembering the first time he came to this arena, he looked up at the fluttering championship flags and a series of retired jerseys, and imagined that he could start his NBA career in this honor-filled place.

Yang Ze gave a wry smile, let's use today's game as a farewell to those three months of darkness.

The Boston Celtics have 16 championships in team history, the most in the league; the 8 consecutive championships led by Cardinal Auerbach and Lord of the Rings Bill Russell have so far been surpassed by no one.

However, since the 90s, the Celtics have been in decline.

The former dynasty team was full of spirits, but also fell into the embarrassment of missing the playoffs for 6 years.

The Celtics have always hoped to regain their former glory, but things often don't follow people's wishes.

The dynasty collapsed and became the last in the Eastern Conference.

As a "comer" Yang Ze is very clear that after the Celtics experienced the downturn in the 06-07 season, they formed the Big Three of Ray Allen, Garnett and Pierce, plus the support of Big Baby, Rondo and others , In the 08 Finals and Kobe Bryant's Lakers tried their best to win the championship.

It's just what prompted them to rush to form such a lineup at the end of this season.

Yang Ze doesn't know, but the current Celtics don't have the Big Three. They are ranked last in the Eastern Conference and also in the league. Those losing streak teams hope to meet them sooner.

"The sports channel you are watching is broadcasting the 2006-2007 season NBA game between the Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers. I am Sun Zhengping."

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhang Weiping."

"Director Zhang, what do you think of today's game?"

As we all know, Sun Zhengping is a commentator who can't remember the names of NBA players, often gives wrong names, and even doesn't know much about basketball.

In the commentary booth, the score is reported, and the time is checked. If there is a problem, it is Director Zhang. What do you think?
Is that what you mean, Director Zhang?

What can director Zhang do? How can I see with my eyes?
Can you stop making pre-match predictions? It's very annoying and easy to slap your face.

But Director Zhang couldn't show it, so he could only reply: "Fans who have watched the games this season should know that the Celtics have been very stable this season, while the Philadelphia 76ers have had a lot of ups and downs recently."

Sun Zhengping: "Well, that means the 76ers have little hope of winning today. Hey, I remember Yang Ze is in the 76ers team."

Guided by Zhang.
"When I say the Celtics are stable, I mean that they have been losing very steadily. The 76ers have a lot of ups and downs because they can win the Pistons, they can win the Wizards, and they can lose to teams like the Bucks."

"Yang Ze is in the 76ers team. Whether the 76ers can win today depends on Iverson's performance, and Yang Ze has entered the starting lineup. I am looking forward to his performance in this game."

"Director Zhang said, audience friends, are you ready to enter the competition?"
