NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 17
On October 10, after a short break, the Bobcats flew to Boston, which is also in the Atlantic Division.

The Celtics Celtics team can be said to have witnessed the history of the NBA.

Has been synonymous with champions and stars in the league for many years.

The team has won 16 championships so far, which is unmatched, and the Albert of 8 consecutive championships is unprecedented. (To be sure, this record is almost impossible to break.)
But the strong tiger also has a nap time.

Last season, Truth "Pierce" provoked the team's offensive banner alone after Fat Toutuo Walker was sent to the Mavericks.

In the end, the team stumbled to catch the last train of the playoffs.

But in the first round, he was knocked down by the strong Pacers and was severely educated.

Compared with the Pacers, this Celtics team is still so immature and weak.

In the offseason of this season, the team lost Atkins, Mihm and Jones respectively.

"Jarhidi Hunter", one of the Big Three drinking fountains in the Bobcats, was obtained from the Celtics' expansion draft.

In this summer, the Celtics also ushered in the former champion coach "Doug Rivers".

Last season, Rivers led the team to a record of 1 win and 10 losses at the beginning of the season.

Later, he became a scapegoat for the team to explain to the fans, and was announced to be fired by the Magic.

In April of this year, Rivers was appointed as the new head coach of the Boston Celtics.

He also became the 16th head coach in the history of the giant Celtics.

Of course, he later became the first head coach to be traded in NBA history.

In the new season, Paul Pierce is undoubtedly the most dazzling star of the team.

Even if he was sniped by the Pacers in the playoffs last season.

But still can't hide his brilliance beyond history.

He became the 1-point man with the least number of games in team history.

It even took 436 games less than the 5 games of Celtics star Bird Bird.

In the previous life, Pierce and Anthony were even called offensive kaleidoscopes.

Although Pierce's one-on-one offensive ability is almost unsolvable, the outside world generally has doubts about his leadership qualities.

Another big name player on the Celtics team this season is the famous glove "Gary Payton"

The legendary point guard's nightmare has been selected to the NBA's "Best Team" twice, and he has been selected to the NBA's "Best Defensive Team" for 2 consecutive times.

In the last season, Payton only joined the Lakers with a middle-class contract. Together with Kobe, O'Neal, and Malone, he formed the famous Los Angeles F4 in the league! !
We all know the following story. The powerful Lakers didn't get along well with each other. They stumbled throughout the season. Although they finally made it to the finals, they lost 1-4 to the Pistons in the finals.

It can be said that it has become a big joke of the league, and it is still called one of the most failed newspaper groups in history until more than ten years later.

Payton was hit hard after failing to win the championship, and even thought of retiring for a while.

But in the face of the sincerity of the team and the coach, in the end he rushed to the training camp to report in time.

Whether "Glove" can become the Celtics' backcourt pillar in the new season, age will become his biggest enemy.

In addition to Pierce and Payton, the team and the future generations of Jamie all know "Ricky Davis". That's right, it's the one who said boldly: "I think the team chose him to assist me."

After a few games, he was traded by the Cavaliers.

It was also in Liu Rui's previous life that he was jokingly called the only person in the league who could let James lift his shoes. (Wade: ???)

Before the big deal that shocked the league, the Celtics can only try their best to fight for the playoff tickets.

Even if their head coach for the new season will be Rivers.

And Liu Rui is also very excited about this game. Strictly speaking, this is also the first champion coach he has faced since his rebirth. Even though he is still very young, he has only coached in the league for 5 years.

And as to whether Rivers is considered good or not, even in his previous life, there has been no conclusion to the debate.

Some people say that if it weren't for Rivers, the Celtics would have won at least one more championship.

Some people say that without Rivers, the Celtics would not win a championship.

No matter how the people who eat melons have different opinions, it is undeniable that in the previous life, Rivers led the civilian Clippers headed by Louis Williams, fought all the way at the end of the season, squeezed out the Lakers led by the King and James, and successfully boarded the last train of the playoffs. In the playoffs, they fought the Warriors in 6 games before being eliminated.

After this battle, this champion coach who doesn't talk too much has proved to the world what strength is! ! (Paul: How the hell do I think you're playing me!!)

You must know that it is useful: Lu Wei, Shamet (rookie), Alexander (rookie), Harrell, Zubac, Beverly, no one in this lineup has made an All-Star lineup, and the Warriors with Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, Cousins, Iguodala, slammed into six games! !
A perfect interpretation of what it means to be glorious despite defeat! !

In the previous life, what made Liu Rui most in awe of this legendary coach was the best timeout of the year! !

A timeout that is enough to go down in history! !
On February 19, 2, the Lone Ranger visited Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers.

This is the last season of the legendary star "Dirk Nowitzki".

At the last moment of the game, Clippers coach Rivers called a timeout for Nowitzki.

After calling a timeout, Rivers went to the technical stage and called on the audience to give Nowitzki a standing ovation and pay the most sincere respect to the king.

The audience immediately stood up and gave Nowitzki a thunderous applause.

The scene at that time made the old king very moved, and he seemed at a loss in the face of this timeout. He really didn't expect that since Rivers would call a timeout specifically, let the fans encourage him for his last dance in Los Angeles.

And this scene in the previous life was something that Liu Rui could never forget for a long time.

"Coach Liu Rui??"

The call from the ear pulled Liu Rui back from his thoughts.

I don't know when, the corners of his eyes were already a little wet, until he heard the shouts of the home fans, Liu Rui came back to his senses completely, and his thoughts at this moment really seemed like a world away.

"Oh, I'm sorry Coach Rivers, nice to meet you, I was a little distracted just now, I am very glad to be able to compete with you on this stage, you have always been my role model in the coaching path!!"

Looking at the young coach who shook hands with him before the game, Rivers was a little surprised.

Surprised that there are so many famous coaches in the league, since he said that he is his role model.

Surprised that this young coach who claimed to challenge all the old coaches in the league yesterday is so easy-going.

Originally, I originally planned to teach this crazy young man a good lesson today.

But now it is difficult for Rivers to combine the "big boy" with a sincere smile and tears in the corners of his eyes with the arrogant young man yesterday.

Is this a plan to slow down the troops? ?Still the legendary half angel, half devil! !
