Chapter 83 Calling at the Door

Is there any pressure to meet the Suns? The answer to this question is undoubtedly yes. Both Rivers and the Celtics coaching staff are considering how to defend the bombardment tactics of those crazy people.

However, compared with the atmosphere in the team, the reports of media reporters can give fans a more intuitive understanding. The Celtics, who have just begun to recover, are the first in the West at this stage!

"In terms of record and strength, we are at a disadvantage, and this game must be difficult to play."

When Murphy made a forward-looking prediction in his column, he bluntly said the trouble the Celtics are facing now. He is not only him, but most of the fans of the green shirts are a little worried.

After all, this is the first fight in the West, and even some people have said publicly that it is normal to lose.

There's nothing we can do. This is the gap in strength. It's the same with the Pistons and the Suns.

The current Celtics are not the kind of strong team in the era of the Big Three. In the strength list before the start of the season, they only ranked 15th, which should be a team that can barely squeeze into the playoffs.

No matter how brilliant the past history is, according to their current strength, they are only a mid-range team.

Although Chen Feng and Ron have performed well in the first few games, this has not improved much for the overall strength. Except for Pierce, there are still no other stars in the team's lineup.

This is caused by poverty and weakness for more than ten years, and Rivers can't bring about change immediately.

Rick Pitino was harmed once, but now the Celtics have not recovered.

Angie is not a trading genius like Auerbach. If you really expect him to bring some changes to the team, you have to wait. At least the team's lineup is almost fixed this season.

Even if it can change a little before the arrival of February, it won't change much.

Now they have to consider how to win more games with the current lineup, as Rivers said, "We should make good use of the home advantage and win as many games as possible at home."

Although the Pistons and the Heat have won the championship in the past few seasons, compared with the strong in the West, it is still a situation where the West is strong and weak in the East. The results are still competing stars, and the East is at a disadvantage.

Even if O'Neal and several other guys swim to the East Side, but if they want to reverse the gap between the East and the West, it's still a bit of water. Rivers can only expect to win a few more victories in the Eastern melee.

Now when you meet the Suns, which is the number one in the West, even Rivers is ready to lose.

But the gap in strength is not to show weakness to opponents. What's more, some people don't want to give them this opportunity.

When a local reporter interviewed the Phoenix Suns flying to Boston, head coach D'Antoni seemed very low-key. "Boston has a home advantage, and the result of this game is not easy to predict."

I have to say that D'Anthony is still a relatively low-key person. Although he led the Suns to make an amazing record, he was still the kind person who stayed on the front line in the interview with reporters.

De Anthony is low-key enough, but it doesn't mean that his players will still keep such a low-key. Nash said with a relaxed face that he would play the game well, but Stadmeier threw down a choked words.

"We also want to break the regular season record of 62 wins, so we will definitely win in the North Shore Garden!"

In such a hard sentence, and Stadmeier doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving any face for the local reporters in Boston. "We have six wins and one loss, but you have three wins and two losses, which is the gap."

"But you have just experienced a failure. You are also a loser in the confrontation with Duncan!"

Murphy is also a reporter. In the face of Stadmeier's rude provocation, he doesn't mind uncovering his opponent's scars. This is in Boston, and he can't tolerate others being so arrogant.

After the Suns lost to the Spurs at the last minute in the last game, someone said after the game that it was Stadmeier who failed to completely keep an eye on Duncan at the last minute, which gave the opponent a chance to reverse.

Especially in the attack and defense of the two people, Duncan's continuous score at the last moment became the winner and loser.

Although Stadmeier has been successfully promoted to the top stars with a salary of tens of millions of years, in the eyes of many people, this guy's attack may be very strong, but his defense has always been his weakness.

Many people also say that the Phoenix Suns spent $70 million to sign a five-year contract with Stadmeier. This is not a very good deal. That guy is not worth so much money.

Especially in the first season after signing, Stadmeier missed more than half of the game due to injury.

And when he faces those top insiders, although he scores a lot, he often loses more points.

It's just that few people said this face to face to face, but Murphy is not afraid of this.

The Celtics are Murphy's team that has been with him for more than ten years. He is quite unhappy to make his opponent look underestimated.

So he couldn't help stabbing Stadmeier just now, which was also a kind of counterattack.

"You have just lost to the Detroit Pistons. As for whether I am a loser or not, you will know when the game is over. In addition, I have to explain that your team doesn't have Duncan. I don't think Al Jefferson or Perkins can see me! Please tell them this sentence.

After saying this, Stadmeier was dragged by Jones and was ready to turn around and leave.

Neither D'Anthony and Nash want anything trouble Stadmeier said.

After all, this is playing away from home, and they have heard of the tough style of Boston fans.

And there is no need to provoke the opponent so much, but Nash is not the kind of strong and controlling leader, and his personal relationship with Stadmeyer is not bad, and he doesn't want to say anything more.

So D'Anthony used his eyes to signal Jones to quickly drag Stadmeyer on the bus. Don't continue to grind his teeth with those reporters. This is just a regular season, and there is no need to provoke the opponent too much.

Reporters always like to look for topics, but as the main coach, D'Antoni doesn't like to make trouble.

But Jones didn't wait to drag Stadmeyer into the car, and Murphy threw a word behind him.

"We have not only Al and Kendrick, but also Chen Feng! Can you guarantee that you can win?"

In the face of such a domineering opponent, Murphy doesn't want to bow his head and walk away. Since the opponent looks down on Jefferson and Perkins, Murphy doesn't mind pushing Chen Feng out to talk.

"Chen Feng? Sorry, I haven't heard of this name. Can he do it? Just give it a try.

After putting down this sentence, Stadmeier ignored anyone and went straight to the team bus.

"I will definitely help you with this sentence. Don't worry." Murphy didn't show weakness at this time.

"Chen Feng? Is it Chinese again? I seem to be particularly predestined with people from that country.

Although there was no more noise from reporters, Stadmeier thought about the words that Murphy had just said, especially the very oriental name, after getting on the bus.

Since he participated in the draft in the same year as Yao Ming, Stadmeier has found that there will always be a group of Chinese journalists willing to connect themselves with the big champion, as if it is not uncomfortable.

And many people treat them as old enemies, but after Stadmeier won the best rookie of the year, he really didn't feel that the big Chinese man was a threat to him.

Now there is another one? Before closing his eyes and resting, Stadmeier silently said the slightly awkward name, Chen Feng? I really haven't heard of it.

"Anyway, this is just a game, and I don't know what those guys are excited about."

After saying wild words, Stadmeier did not feel anything wrong. He was used to dealing with the media in this way, otherwise he would not be the little bully who likes to get into trouble.

It doesn't matter whether Stadmeier has heard Chen Feng's name or not, because his words were moved to his column by Murphy, and almost all the fans in Boston were fried.

"Arrogant guy! He should know the horror of the North Shore Garden!" This is the mouth of extreme fans, and some people are even thinking about teaching the arrogant Stadmeyer a lesson.

"Contemptful attitude, is this the first demeanor in the West? Maybe after hearing the winning words of the other party, Rivers should let his players also see that they are about to be ignored.

This is the incitement of local newspapers in Boston on the sports page. Stadmeier's outspoken sarcasm has already angered Bostonians a little. They hope that the team can hit each other head-on!

"I don't think I need to say anything more now. If we can't play this game well, I guess there will be a lot of boos in the North Bank Garden Arena. This is not an estimate, but definitely."

In the training class, Rivers held a local newspaper in Boston and pointed to the report on it and said to all the team members that Stadmeier's victory declaration was greatly released by reporters.

"The opponent is very strong. I don't want to deny this. They are the first in the West. We are just the middle reaches of the East now. Their average score per game is the highest in the whole league. We can enter the top 20 at most. If we compare these things alone, we will lose. Needless to say, even my son knows it."

Rivers's easy joke made the team members laugh, but they all knew that it was not the end.

"However, this is Boston, our home court! I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm going to tell those teams that come to make trouble that the Celtics are going to the playoffs! Not only the first round, we have to go further! We will definitely meet those strong teams, so from the beginning of this game, I don't want to hear people say that we will lose, we can't beat them, this nonsense! Just start with the Suns, we have to tell all the opponents! Boston is not easy to mess with!"

After saying these words, Rivers pounded the newspaper in his hand and scolded his mother for the first time being, "This bastard has bullied our door. Why don't you kick his ass?"

This time, Rivers caused not a burst of laughter, but ignited a group of beasts' desire to fight.

Especially Chen Feng, who was reading the newspaper, grinned at the corners of his mouth and looked at Murphy's report, "Oh? The guy said he didn't know me? This is so easy to do. I will let him know men at that time!"
