Center first

Chapter 256
Of course, Spoelstra knew what kind of team he was about to face, so he stayed in his office for a whole day, and the video tapes piled up around him were almost His thin body submerged.

In the NBA, no one has a longer history than the Celtics. In the era when the predecessor of the NBA was BAA, the Celtics already existed. According to the words of the Bostonians, just don’t compete with me. Old, I'm too lazy to compare with you.

This old antique that has existed since the prehistoric period of the NBA is an out-and-out history of NBA development. As long as you open the team history of the Celtics, you can roughly understand the development of the league.

It's old, but the Celtics have an honor that's as terrifying as it may be compared to any other team in the league.

凯尔特人的历史几乎就是一部冠军史，从加入NBA至今已获得17次总冠军。从1957年到1969年的13年间，凯尔特人11次夺取总冠军，在1959年至1966年连夺8次冠军,完成了震古烁今的八连冠。

The superstars who lived in the same era as this Hulk, I don’t know how many people have been sad. Jerry West, who can leave his mark in the NBA, also lives in the shadow of the Celtics. Down.

At that time, there was only one ruler in the entire league, and that was the Celtics led by Cardinal Auerbach. Even Chamberlain couldn't take advantage of them.

Almost everyone thinks TD North Shore Gardens is hell, including Auerbach's big pipe, crazy Bostonians will make everyone regret coming to this place.

Every team that enters this stadium will lose its former power. In the deafening shouts of more than 2 people, I don't know how many heroes buried their desire for the championship.

There are a lot of people who hate the Celtics, not because they lack superstars, but because these guys are too based on winning. You rarely see the Celtics playing passionately, but their stability is biggest advantage.

The Celtics have never lacked superstars at the superstar level, but these guys are playing better than Duncan. If the current Spurs are playing like machines, then you should really go and see the Celtics. Competition, you will know who is more like a robot.

However, the Celtics have no shortage of stars. I don't know how much wisdom is hidden in Auerbach's big pipe. There will be very few unsuccessful ones he has lit. Just look at Bird and Bill Russell.

Don't bother to count the superstars that the Celtics have appeared, just look at the more than 20 retired jerseys floating above the TD North Shore Garden Arena, you should know how many people have left their names in the history of the NBA Yes, you will know how many Celtics superstars are among the 50 NBA superstars.

When many players in the NBA are still struggling for a championship ring, Bill Russell is already worrying about his lack of a finger to wear the No.11 ring. This is the poor man and the rich man difference.

The Celtics not only have the thickest history, but also the toughest nerves. In the history of the NBA, this group of Celtics has left countless counterattacks for the audience.

How many times the Lakers have led and been overturned are all losses from the Celtics. Look at Chamberlain when he averaged 50+ points per game, he also failed to overcome the mountain of the Celtics .

The temperament of the team will be similar to their soul. The Celtics are like a replica of Auerbach's personal spirit. They never give up and never take the initiative to lower their heads.

Even if they lose, they still leave the opponent's territory with their heads held high. You have seen the Celtics defeated, but you have never seen the Celtics feared. This is the spirit of the Bostonians.

This spirit of not admitting defeat is the guarantee that supports them to win 17 championships. From the day they established the team, the Bostonians have been adhering to this spirit and fighting on the court.

Even now they still have this kind of temperament. After Larry Bird's iron triangle disappeared from the Celtics, this team that once dominated the NBA has completely sunk, except for the "return to the light" in 01-02. Except for reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, the rest of the time hovered in the middle.

Even in the 06-07 season, the Celtics created the most shameful 18-game losing streak in team history for the first time, and finally finished at the bottom of the league with 24 wins and 58 losses. This may be the darkest in the history of the Celtics of a season.

Perhaps most people have already thought that this NBA giants will completely sink, and even the main player Paul Pierce seems to start to dawdle in despair. No one thinks of the glory of this king's team anymore, as if all the honors It's all starting to get dusty.

But the phoenix of the Celtics, they only took one summer to completely remove this bad situation from the memory of Bostonians.

There may not be many teams that will immediately win the championship in the second year after a sluggish season, but the Bostonians did it. After joining Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, they used the strongest The backlash reigned supreme again.

Two All-Stars may lead a team far in the playoffs, but what about three?Maybe the four All-Stars of the Lakers have given many people the answer. More stars may not be a good thing, but history has not repeated in Boston.

The huge energy burst out after the three honor-hungry guys met together made everyone feel horrible. It took only one season for the Celtics to return to the highest peak in the NBA.

4:2 This is the best gift the Celtics left to the old enemy of the Lakers. Pierce's matchup defense made the omnipotent Peter Pan helplessly lower his head. The Lakers lost to this team again. The fateful opponent is just a different time.

Some people now compare the Heat to the original Celtics. These two teams were still at the bottom of the league the year before, but they rose rapidly after strengthening the lineup.

It's just that the Celtics got two seasoned veterans, while the Miami Heat got a younger future star, but the trajectories of the two are so similar.

A strong rise, an excellent record, and the same desire for the finals are all teams that stand up again from the ruins. Maybe these two teams are indeed a bit similar.

However, the Celtics, the defending champion, have not had a smooth road to defending their title this year. After winning the championship, they will inevitably be a little slack. There are slight tweaks.

The three main generals are one year older, and they are full of injuries and come out to make trouble from time to time. This caused the Celtics' performance to decline briefly, but it was only a short-term decline.

When the Big Three appeared on the field at the same time, they were still invincible Hulks, and everyone including the gaming companies never underestimated their strength.

Even the thriving Lakers regard this old enemy who once again defeated them in last season's finals as their biggest competitor. Maybe the Heat and Cavaliers have risen very quickly, but the Lakers are more vigilant about such a veteran as the backbone Veteran strong team.

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, just looking at these dazzling names can make you lose the motivation to compete with them.

However, these Hulks have to face a lot of troubles. The strength gap between the main force and the substitute makes Rivers have to keep his main force on the field for a long time. Danger.

Although Wolf King Garnett is still full of desire for honor, he is 32 years old and still unable to resist the attack of injuries. He retired due to injury in the middle of the season, and it is still doubtful whether he can come back now.

However, the right knee that has not been operated on may be a time bomb for the Celtics, but it is also a perfect smoke bomb for its opponents.

No one wants Garnett to make a heroic comeback before the playoffs, and no one wants to be overshadowed by the Knicks' Reed like the Lakers.

When Rivers whispered in front of reporters that the Wolf King could not come back, Spoelstra didn't believe it at all. The cunning Bostonians have always used smoke bombs to confuse opponents.

Even if Garnett is really unable to play, it does not mean that the Celtics have no combat effectiveness. Don't forget that when Garnett was absent, the Celtics did not stop winning.

Ray Allen's three-pointer is still fatal. Paul Pierce's attacking ability at the small forward position is not everyone can block it. Don't forget that they also have "big baby" Glenn Davis And burgeoning point guard Rajon Rondo.

Rondo's comprehensiveness is no worse than any star point guard, and this guy has almost inherited the tradition of the Celtics on the defensive end, and the defense is extremely hard-working.

While observing the opponent he was about to meet, Spoelstra tried to find the opponent's flaws.

"What we need to do now is to tell the guys from Boston, this is not TD North Shore Gardens, this is Miami!" Spoelstra said loudly, looking at the players in front of him.

"Win this duel, and then we will unscrew the horse's head of the Cavaliers. We need the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference. Do you hear what I said clearly!"

"Clear, understand!" The roar of a group of big guys has been echoing in the training ground of the American Airlines Arena.

The two giants of the East are about to collide. . .

(The Rockets were so miserable today...the first two quarters were extremely gorgeous, but the third quarter was exposed... 26:13, and it went straight back to its original shape...a tragedy...)
