my golden age

Chapter 28 Retro Jerseys
The head coach of the Boston Celtics is Doc Rivers, who took office in the summer of 04 and only coached for one full season.In terms of experience, it is completely incomparable with Phil Jackson, who led the team to three consecutive championships.

Rivers tossed and turned last night, unable to sleep.After resting for half an hour at noon, I was very excited at the moment and didn't feel sleepy at all.

The Lakers started with a three-game winning streak and ranked first in ESPN's first-week team strength list.Facing such a powerful old enemy, Rivers is extremely eager to lead the team at home to end the Lakers winning streak.

This matter is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to really think about the strategy.

Last season, the Lakers had only one Kobe who could play. Now they have two stars in the backcourt, and they may explode if they don't double-team.But once you choose to double-team, it will undoubtedly make the other face a single defense, and the situation will still be very difficult.

Not only did Rivers have no clue, but the defensive coach couldn't help it either.

Time will not stop moving forward because of confusion, the Celtics coaching staff took the bus to the TD North Shore Garden Arena where fans have already entered the stadium.

The Celtics really wanted to win this game and removed the resting chairs in the visiting team's locker room, leaving only a few empty lockers.

The Lakers equipment manager Wright came to the locker room early and hung the retro clover blue jersey to be worn away in the locker with a hanger.Then began to put the players' shoes in front of the locker separately.

The knee pads and shoulder pads that Kwame Brown needs have been bought and put in his locker.

After finishing his work, Wright wiped the sweat from his forehead, and placed several empty equipment boxes separately in the locker room, which can be used as chairs for the players to rest.

Since it was an away game, the players arrived at the stadium by bus, so they arrived together.

"Gao, you are quite popular now! On the way just now, I saw many fans wearing the No. 6 jersey of the Lakers." Odom saw the North Shore Garden Arena in the distance, looked away from the car window, and told him Interesting news to see.

"If you dunk Shaquille, Yao and Tim Duncan consecutively, there will be no fewer fans than Gao." Vujacic naturally knows where Gao Fei's fans are.

Kobe smiled and said: "There is no shortage of dunkers in this league. There is only one reason why Gao was quickly accepted by the fans-that is, he is strong enough."

"This is the correct answer." Luke Walton is a very smart player. "Before the season started, I also thought we would lose three games in a row. I didn't expect to win three games in a row and lead the Western Conference. Gao's performance in the three games, It made everyone recognize his strength, coupled with his explosive style of play, it became logical to become a fan."

Odom said with a smile: "Luke, I didn't expect you to be bad at playing. There are many principles."

The players laughed, with only Luke Walton defending.

When the bus stopped at the entrance of the North Shore Garden Arena players, the Lakers players finished their conversation, got off the bus one after another, and entered the gradually bustling arena.

The Lakers are one of the most popular teams in the league, and a large number of media reporters and photographers with cameras gathered outside the locker room.Seeing the Lakers players enter the field, they scrambled to come over to interview.

The security personnel of the arena opened their arms, blocked the reporters who were trying to squeeze forward, loudly dissuaded them, and allowed the players to enter the locker room safely.

Only a small number of reporters are allowed into the locker room to conduct brief interviews and filming of players or coaches.

Gao Fei is used to reporters coming into the locker room, as long as he is not asked to be interviewed, he can change his jersey casually.He will wear a shock-absorbing sweater under his clothes, so he is not afraid of losing his clothes.

"Hey! Are you wearing a retro jersey tonight?" Gao Fei saw the retro jersey with the blue flower "Los Angeles" printed on it, and felt that this jersey was very fresh.

"The Celtics are not ordinary opponents, and the retro jersey can present this concept to the fans." Wright said the reason for choosing this jersey.

"This means that the Celtics will also wear retro jerseys." Gao Fei followed the clues.

"That's right. They'll be wearing retro jerseys tonight, but their jerseys are almost the same. It's the same as usual."

"The Celtics team is deeply imprinted by the Cardinal, and the cheerleaders are the latest among all teams." Gao Fei is a relatively traditional person, and he does not object to the old-fashioned Celtics. , of course, does not exclude the acceptance of new things.

Since it was the Celtics vs. Lakers, ESPN chose to broadcast the game live.

Mike Breen and Pacers star Reggie Miller, who announced his retirement this summer, sat on the sidelines.

Bill Russell sat in the front row, watching the game.

Kobe saw Russell and said: "The Celtics also attach great importance to this game, even Bill Russell is here."

Gao Fei looked at the white-haired old man sitting on the sidelines, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that he can't play anymore, otherwise he can lead the Celtics."

Kobe smiled and said, "Gao, Bill is an old man no matter how you say it, so it's best not to make fun of him."

Gao Fei shifted his gaze to the Celtics' half.

Ricky Davis and Delonty West stood next to Paul Pierce, and the three were speaking.It can be seen that Pierce has a high status in the team and is a bit arrogant when he speaks.

Gao Fei turned on the system mode, and instead of looking at Pierce, he looked at Ricky Davis who was more interested.

Ricky Davis: Potential A, Willpower B, Speed ​​A-, Desire to Perform A+!

He only looked at the core of the Heat and Rockets in the first three games, and did not check the troika of the Spurs.I haven't scanned the role players yet, so I realized that there is a huge gap.

Delonte West's various values ​​are also very poor, not even an S.

"Gao, it's time for an introduction." Kobe touched Gao Fei who was checking his abilities.

Gao Fei turned off the system mode and came to the sidelines. As the first player to be introduced, he received strong boos from the Celtics fans as expected.

"This kind of home atmosphere is really scary. No wonder many players can't play well in the North Shore Garden Arena. It's a pity they don't know. I like playing in stadiums full of boos." Gao Fei stood on the spot, stretching his right hand all the time, and The teammates who were introduced later clapped their hands and thought to themselves.

When Kobe played, he got no less boos than Goofy.

The sports channel will still broadcast the game live.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to introduce the Celtics players, the starting lineup lists of both sides were released.

Celtics: Delonte West, Ricky Davis, Paul Pierce, Ryan Gomez (201CM), Kendrick Perkins!

Lakers: Goofy, Kobe, Vujacic, Odom, Kwame Brown!
The lights returned to bright, and the scene became quiet.

Gao Fei put his hands behind his back, looked down at the floor, waited for the national anthem to be played, then walked back to the sidelines, took off his warm-up suit, stretched his ligaments, and prepared to go on stage.
