Chapter 57: Boston
Ancient, thick and sedimentary are the labels of the city, and the gently flowing Charles River records the ups and downs of this land for 400 years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Boston, with no bustle and bustle at night, sweeps over the city and overlooks the colorful night scene.
When Yang Di and the others came out of the airport, it was already early in the morning, and at the end of October, it was the alternating season of autumn and winter, and the sudden change in temperature difference made people very uncomfortable.
Back at the hotel, Yang Di fell asleep and didn't wake up until around noon the next day.
"Is this the life of a professional footballer, it's really tiring." Yang Di yawned, changed into a clean jersey, put on a training uniform, and walked out of the room.
There is a buffet breakfast downstairs in the hotel, but it is past the time of breakfast.
At the front desk, Yang Di asked the waiter: "Are the other players of our Heat still resting?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Yang." The waiter said with a smile.
Yang Di nodded, "If the coaches or players wake up, say I'll go out first, because I got up early and I'm a little hungry." ”
"The hotel has lunch."
"yes, I know." Yang Di waved his hand and walked out of the hotel gate.
Not far from the Celtics' North Shore Garden Arena, about two to three kilometers away, Yang Di wandered the streets, bought a hot dog with a glass of milk, and passed an open-air basketball court.
Yang Di grabbed the barbed wire, no one was playing on the court, and at noon, they probably went to eat.
He walked into the court, with fallen leaves falling from the branches, and sat on a wooden bench next to him, and then put his hands in his pockets, and the sun was warm on him.
It would be excellent if you took a break like this every day, the corners of Yang Di's mouth raised slightly, remembering the game at night, compared to the hustle and bustle at that time, he especially enjoyed this quiet moment.
......
North Shore Gardens, before the Celtics season opener.
The Heat will form a circle, Odom in the middle, and everyone's palms stacked together, "One, two, let's get started!" ”
The palms fell, and the crowd dispersed.
The Celtic game was much more complicated, the home team was always different, and the whole team was around the young player wearing the headband, and the stadium was green.
Paul Pearce, the first season after sending away Anthony Walker, officially became the head wolf of the Celtics!
Pierce still looks proud, his head raised, his gaze is determined, his body is muscular, he is in the prime of an outside player, and he has the gangster temperament of the Boston gangster.
Yang Di looked at Pierce, and remembered Iverson he saw yesterday, his eyes showed a trace of envy, this is probably the best interpretation of having a team, a person, a team, a city, all the ups and downs of success and failure are on the shoulders of one person.
Yang Di was still on the bench, with Alston and Haslem both starting.
Heat: PG Alston, SG Wade, SF Eddie Jones, PF Haslem, C Lamar Odom. Celtics: PG Mike James, SG Kaedric Brown, SF Paul Pierce, PF Vin Baker, Mark Blunt
Judging from the height composition of the scene, the Celtics are taller than the Heat, especially the two interior linemen, and the Celtics have introduced Vin Baker and Mark Blunt after learning from the pain, both of whom are more than 2.10 meters tall.
"It's just a pity that Mark Blunt is just a stupid big man who moves slowly, and Wen Baker is long gone with his fierceness with the Bucks, and I'm more inclined to the Miami to win this game than the Heat's impactful lineup." As soon as the game began, the Columbia Radio and Television commentators who broadcast the game looked down on the Celtics.
Yang Di sat on the sidelines, and the fans who followed him couldn't see his shots, and the camera always swirled on the Celtics' No. 34 or the Heat's No. 7 and No. 3.
The whistle blows and the game begins.
The red light went for seconds, the audience cheered, cheered, and was noisy, and Boston has always been a fierce people.
......
Wade met his opponent in today's game.
"The guy on the other side of the shooting guard seems to be very strong." Yang Di stared at the black athlete wearing the Boston Celtics No. 5 jersey, who was about two meters tall and definitely weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
"Good physicality, he was picked with the 11th pick the year before." Speaking next to Young, Malik said he was familiar with some of the NBA's lesser-known players, having played for two more years.
"The year before last? Isn't that 01 year! Yang Di glanced at Marik with a strange look.
Malik Allen said with a smile: "Yes, it was the year I entered the league, in other words, I was directly undrafted that year, unlike these players, who are high. ”
"Cut." Speaking of high order, Yang Di was stimulated.
On the court, the referee blew the whistle for the second official timeout in the first quarter, and the Heat players walked down, and Yang Di stood up with the players around him and applauded the players who came off the court.
"Okay, Dwyan, that big black guy on the other side seems to be very difficult?" Yang Di and a depressed Wade slapped their hands.
Wade snorted, ignoring Yang Di, who was a little gloating, gritted his teeth and couldn't speak.
"Yang, get ready to play!" Stan Van Gundy summoned Yang Di, and it was almost time for the normal rotation, Van Gundy took out the tactics board, and then took a pen and drew simple tactics on the strategy board.
"The Celtics are mainly passing, Paul Pierce should be out of the game during this wave of timeouts, and we took this opportunity to defend closely, play aggressively, and try to get the difference back!"
Van Gundy was drawing lines and arrows while cheering for the players loudly, Yang Di tilted his neck to look at the increasingly complex tactical board, and finally convinced that he really didn't understand, what the hell did he draw?
At the end of the timeout, Yang Di appeared.
"Instant mission, crush the glory of Boston - Celtics players have green blood in their veins, defeat the Celtics with a glorious history, and prove themselves in Boston! Reward: Celtics Template Training Card! ”
Yang Di's mouth opened wide, and after being stunned for a moment, he stepped onto the floor of the court, and his heart was already surging.
I didn't expect that there are template training cards for real-time tasks, and this system is sometimes very pitiful, and sometimes it is confusing. Then, a fire burned in his heart, if he completed this instant mission, wouldn't he take off immediately?
So Tony Barty just looked at the young man walking in front of him, and he didn't mean anything to respect the old players.
"Damn rookie." He muttered to himself that he hated this strange player.
The Heat serve on the sideline, Eddie Jones advances across half court and passes to outside Rasol Butler, then Odom steps forward to ask for the ball, and Rasol distributes it to Odom on the wing.
"Three inside lines? Small forward? The Celtic head coach stared at him with a serious expression.
Odom is known in the league as an all-around warrior, in fact, he can not only defend from the No. 1 to the No. 5 position on the defensive end, but also play multiple positions offensively, and is known as the most advanced inside and outside swingman at this time. So in the wing position, Eric Williams, who came out to defend, made a difficulty, and the standard height of 2.03 meters small forward was a little unsightly in front of Odom.
Odom stepped on the ball and broke through, not taking a quick step, but was very strong to squeeze away the defender with the first shot.
At this time, on the inside, Malik Allen was dead to the card owner Celtics substitute power forward Reeve Fiorentina, Yang Di was a horse step, bowed his waist, and Tony Barty, who was also a card, did not move at all.
"Grass, the strength of this rookie ......" Tony Barty also survives in the league with his torso strength and stable lower body strength, but he didn't expect this rookie who has not experienced much NBA training to contain such a strong strength, which is the first time he has seen it in his life.
This is Tony Barty's own misunderstanding, Yang Di is very serious in training, and he has been in contact with NBA-level advanced training for two months, so he has made such great progress.
Odom came in easily and flew to the basket to hit the basket.
"Good block." Everyone returned to the defense, Odom and Yang Di high-fived and celebrated, and after two games, he suddenly felt that it was okay to have Yang Di on the inside, what were he doing in it exhausted?
