Chapter 32 Young Guards

Chen Feng has always belonged to the kind of person with big heart and lungs. Even if the news and comments outside are noisy, it won't hinder him.

According to his own words, "Life is like doing an electrocardiogram. If it is always smooth sailing, it can only prove that you have gone down."

At the beginning, I survived when I was carrying a family alone, not to mention that now it's just a group of boring noise.

If you really don't want to hear it, Chen Feng can automatically filter out those boring words. Anyway, not many people dare to provoke his cold face now.

Let a bald ** of more than two meters look down, and whoever it is, it will also feel a little oppressive.

As for how much Angie was scolded for him, Chen Feng would not be grateful, and he didn't know that at all.

But those reporters who are looking for trouble always try to take something out of Chen Feng's side.

Although he was only selected as a rookie in the second round, he was still not favored at all.

But it is undeniable that Chen Feng's current news effect has completely surpassed that of the Italian guy.

In the whole newcomer in the comer of the sixth year, it is estimated that no one can appear more times than he appeared in the news section, although most of them are full of criticism.

But it's the same these days. No one cares whether it's good news or bad news. It's true to be famous. No matter what, Chen Feng is completely famous now.

Originally, he was an unknown pawn, but now he has completely become the focus of the media and public opinion.

It is estimated that the first reporter who stood up and said that he had no future did not expect it to be like this.

It's really rare to see a guy like this who has already been out of position before playing an official game.

Even when Takanienian saw such a scene, he could only express his helplessness.

"I can't help it. That's what this guy is. If he becomes smooth, it's not him, so it's better not to provoke him."

The disturbing comments from the outside world have little impact on Chen Feng, but it is not good news for most Celtics fans.

Some loyal fans, especially those who completely regard Chen Feng as a guy who likes to make trouble.

The media in Boston have no good impression on Chen Feng, which is actually normal. After all, what Chen Feng squeezed out is a good seedling produced by others.

Although the guy named Craig Smith was not selected by the Celtics, he also went to the Bobcats in the second round, but he was beaten off, and he was always full of complaints.

"I used to look forward to playing for the Celtics. I stayed at Boston University for four years and got used to that city, but the truth told me that everything was possible in the draft. Maybe my performance can't impress the scouts and managers of the Celtics, but I will prove in the future that I can actually do better.

Although this statement is relatively obscure, everyone can hear the resentment contained in it, especially when Angie always said that she admired Smith very much.

As a result, the other party was so big in the end. I guess anyone would be very angry.

Don't care if Angie is willing to accept such a notoriety. Anyway, such a big hat has been put on his head.

The past week may have been Angie's most annoying period. Now he can only hope that Chen Feng's performance will not be too bad, otherwise, he will definitely attract more attacks.

But no matter how Angie looks at Chen Feng from any angle, she feels that this boy is quite unreliable.

I guess the people who feel this way are definitely not only Angie herself, but also many people think so.

It's just that some of them are pure fans, and some of them are professionals.

Tony Allen, Al Jefferson, Kendrick Perkins, Rajan Ron Do... I almost forgot that there was also the Chinese wild boy named Chen Feng. Damn it, is Angie going to make the Celtics the lowest average age team in the whole league?

In the office of the Boston Herald, Murphy, a veteran journalist who has been following the Celtics news for more than 20 years, is holding the Celtics' list of players.

This man, who is almost 50 years old, is even the so-called professionals in this wave.

Murphy may have long remembered the date of his wedding anniversary with his wife, but he can remember when he began to follow the Celtics all the way.

From the first day he entered the media, Murphy has been entangled with the Celtics for 26 years.

Even if more than 20 years have passed, Murphy can still remember the scene where he interviewed Larry Bird after the Celtics won the championship for the first time.

Because he was too excited and nervous, he almost put the microphone into Bird's mouth, but from that day on, Murphy had firmly tied his future to the team.

It's like two photos on Murphy's table. One is for his family, and the other is a picture of nearly 20,000 people going crazy in the whole stadium when the Celtics won the championship.

"It was a crazy day, because you can never experience the scene of the whole city trembling, which I will never forget for the rest of my life."

Murphy has described the spectacle of that scene to many people. Although the Celtics have won the championship many times, every time it is so thrilling.

This is also the reason why Murphy has been paying attention to the Celtics news. The team and the city have merged, and its success or failure are related to the joys and sorrows of many people.

But as a senior media reporter, Murphy is definitely not the kind of royal literati who can only praise. In the past 20 years, there have been many criticisms of the Celtics in the reports he wrote, including public rebuking the team's management in the newspaper.

Especially when the team appointed Pitino as coach, Murphy fired in the newspaper almost every week against the idiot who was only suitable for taking college students in the NCAA.

And the new owner who just took over the Celtics at that time also became the main target of Murphy's fire.

Murphy had the honor to experience the era of the Big Three: Bird, McHale and Parrish, which was the last glorious moment for the Celtics before they fell into the dark ages.

He also sank with the Celtics for nearly 20 years, including the dark time when the damn Pitino took power and even the bishop had a long time away from the countryside.

It can be said that the news of tracking and interviewing the Celtics every season has almost become the most important part of Murphy's life.

Before the start of each season, Murphy can always look at every change of the Celtics with the same enthusiasm.

As many Bostonians think, they all think that the Celtics will stage the return of the king.

Although those supporters have been disappointed for nearly 20 years, this belief has always lingered in their hearts, just like the clover on the team's emblem, which always symbolizes vigorous vitality.

But now Murphy is also a little confused about the Celtics' existing lineup, although the team also has players like Pierce, Szebiak and Latlief with many years of NBA experience.

Compared with the personnel structure of the whole team, their experience can be said to be pitiful. Although players such as Tony and Al have also played the NBA for two or three years, they are still substitutes most of the time.

West may become the main starter this season, but that slightly neurotic guy is not too reassuring.

Al, who is only a power forward, may be on the starting list this season, or the sixth person.

At present, at least half of the people in the team are still in the process of honing. It is basically hopeless to expect them to provide the team with the motivation to move forward.

The NBA is indeed not the place where veterans are king, but experience is absolutely indispensable.

And what the Celtics may lack most now is a veteran like a sea god needle. Now, only Paul Pierce has the ability to make a final sound at a critical moment.

It is definitely not a wise choice to expect these middle school students who have not been fully formed to take over, which was the case last season.

With the strength of Pierce alone, he can only bring more than 30 victories to the team in the end, and has experienced the painful experience of ten consecutive defeats in the middle of the season.

"If you polish it for another two or three years, there may be a chance of a collective outbreak, but now, these kids look too young."

Murphy is not the one who looks at the data and talks nonsense. He is more used to analyzing the team's ability according to the actual situation. His professionalism in this circle has always been respected.

However, the Celtics' existing lineup, if there is no large-scale player trade, it is really not difficult to rely on them to achieve results.

But Murphy now hears the news from within the team that he doesn't plan to make any large-scale deals, at least they won't make any big moves this season.

"Does Rivers think he can get a place in the playoffs with such a lineup? Even if this guy is lucky enough to really break into the playoffs, he will stop in the first round at most. I really don't understand what he and Angie are thinking. Do they really rely on a group of children to fight the world?

Looking at the list in his hand, Murphy really can't see any hope of the return of the king from here. It has been wasted for 20 years. Does the fate of this dynasty have to continue?

"If the results of this season continue to be so bad, the position of Angie's team manager will come to an end. Not to mention him, I guess even Rivers will get out of the team. Will our Celtics continue to wait? NO, God, we have been waiting for 20 years. Haven't we reached the end of darkness yet? Do you really expect those two novices to be the geniuses of Bird and McHale? Even if they are talented, they are just a semi-finished product now!"

As a journalist, Murphy may look at everything from an objective perspective, but as a Bostonian and a Celtics supporter, he really wants to hold Angie's collar now.

Ask what the hell this guy is thinking! Has the draft turned into a child's play?

Especially when Murphy saw the newspapers covered on the table, the bald boy's appearance has always been very eye-catching in the report about the Celtics.

Some newspapers even cooperated with screenshots of the video of Chen Feng's confrontation with "hot sauce" on the street.

"Street players? Alas, why didn't Angie recruit all the guys from the Harlem basketball team into the team? Damn, the NBA is not a venue for fancy performances. Do you think dunk alone can solve everything? These idiots in the management! Talent can't decide everything! It's the same for everyone!"

Although Murphy did not participate in the previous criticism of Chen Feng and Angie, in the eyes of this veteran reporter, a street player does not seem to be a reliable candidate.

Don't talk about Chen Feng's street background, and the gossip about the people around him are drug dealers.

Based on the fact that Chen Feng has not participated in the regular competition, Murphy believes that the boy is likely to be transferred to the NBDL Development League.

If the situation is worse, it is likely to be abandoned by the team after the contract ends.

Anyway, such things happen every year, and it is not rare.

But Murphy is not regretting the fall of a player. What he cares about is the wasted draft signing.

Although it's just a second round of draft, why not consider those who are more practical?

For a team that is under reconstruction, any opportunity must be cherished carefully.

"Miracle? Perhaps the only miracle I can expect is that this bald boy is lucky enough to play in the game. It can make the Celtics have more fans in the Chinese community. In this way, they may be able to sell two more tickets. In addition, I really have nothing else to look forward to.

Now Murphy has no other explanation to make this weird draft more reasonable than thinking that the team is winning over the potential consumer community of the Chinese.

After all, the team's income driven by Yao Ming in Houston is obvious to all, but Murphy doesn't think Chen Feng has such energy.

You should know that the boy is just a foreign immigrant, but Yao Ming holds a Chinese passport.

Although several reporters from the other side of the ocean have recently slipped to Boston to try to interview the bald boy, compared with the popularity of Houston, it is still the same.

"A group of childish young people, I hope these kids can let me see the hope of Boston's re-emergence. Alas, the champion, I don't know when the champion's flag will hang back on the roof of the North Shore Garden. The era of Auerbach is gone, damn it."

Murphy looked at the old photo after the championship carnival on the table and sighed helplessly.

Maybe this is another season of nothing. When will the declining dynasty return to its former glory, even professionals like him feel a little uncertain.

I'm afraid there are not two people with such an attitude, even inside the Celtics.

Only the bishop who always sits firmly on the Diaoyutai seems to have chosen to ignore any criticism from the outside world. At least in his opinion, the Celtics are much better than last year.

"When I chose Russell, many people thought I was a little crazy, and when I almost gave up Cunsi, many people wanted to rush into the office and shoot me directly. It turned out that we could win without Cousy, and Bill's ten fingers were full of championship rings.

"There is nothing in the world that is bound to fail or succeed. It's all up to you to decide. There is nothing wrong with being young. At least they can afford to lose."

Auerbach is no longer young, but his heart is still outrageous. Just like building a Wang Chao team, he is just watching his apprentices repeat this process.

Young? Sorry, when the bishop led Russell's gang to win eight consecutive championships, no one remembered that they were actually very young.

Murphy's professionals may be worried about the team's lack of experience, and some novices may not be able to adapt to the fierce confrontation at the NBA level.

But an old man like Auerbach never thinks what kind of problem is this, inexperienced? Auerbach can tell those people responsibly that he didn't have much experience when he won the championship.

Although he had coached the NBA for several years at that time, it is estimated that no one can predict that this old man will become the greatest person in NBA history.

Everyone will have a first time. Instead of looking for those famous stars who have become slippery, it's better to use the Celtics to accumulate this group of young people in recent years.

At least they won't flinch timidly, especially for novices like Al Jefferson who have to rely on their own performance to get a big contract.

If you don't want to get a big contract, then fight!

If you don't want to be cut off by the team, then fight!

If you want to stand out and accept the cheers of tens of thousands of people, then you guys will fight!

The future is ahead. Awaiting you is either the abyss or a bright and smooth road!

Success or failure is between your own thoughts!

If you want to win, show the courage of young people and fight with those who are waiting to see jokes!

After losing for 20 years, Auerbach didn't want to see the dynasty he built by himself sink.

Since everyone is not optimistic about them, it doesn't matter what a failure.

When the cardinal takes action again 20 years later, he will use his wisdom to create an invincible young guard for the city of Boston and the Celtics.

The blade is invincible!

Auerbach hopes to see a champion's flag rise again over the TD North Shore Garden Arena before he closes his eyes.

Those unpopular little guys have just started on the road.

Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, who can guarantee that these animals will not step on a road?

What's more, the bald-headed animal inside is extremely fierce...
