Chapter 171: Hey, you didn’t score 30 points in a single game, but you still had the nerve to come t
Inside a high-end restaurant in downtown Boston.
Two slender men were ordering food.
They looked at the restaurant menu, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile.
Because the menu clearly states: "No cigars or cigarettes, unless you are Auerbach."
From this point, it is not difficult to see how deep the bond between the city of Boston and the Celtics team is.
You can find Celtic-related elements in any restaurant.
In fact, the restaurant's Celtic references aren't just on its menu.
On the walls of the arena, the Celtics championship banners from previous years are also hung.
At the same time, there are those great jerseys.
The Boston Celtics, an ancient team, are the glory of the city of Boston.
Therefore, this city is full of the spirit of the Green Army.
Even the cheating rate among couples is among the highest in the country!
One of the men looked at the legendary jerseys and was lost in thought:
"Kevin, one day our jersey will definitely be hanging in the sky in the garden!"
The speaker was Paul Pierce, the Celtics' leader in the 21st century.
Garnett, sitting opposite him, nodded. Before this summer, he never thought he would be related to the Celtics.
When considering a transfer this summer, the first place Garnett thought of was even going to Los Angeles.
If that idiot Kobe hadn't answered the call, Garnett would probably be wearing the jersey of the Celtics' mortal enemy.
But at this moment, the Wolf King's heart is green, and even his blood is green.
In just twenty games, Garnett has completely integrated into the team.
All I want to do is revive the glory of the Celtics!
However, this is all just fantasy now.
If the Celtics want to win the O'Brien Cup, they must deal with the current owner of the O'Brien Cup-Lion Ryan!
Coincidentally, the news on TV at this time was showing Ryan's interview after the game:
"I will set a fire and burn the garden to the ground! Burn it with all your former glory!"
The restaurant owner was the first to curse: "I really want to tear his bad mouth apart!"
Then, he looked at the two important guests in the reserved restaurant today.
Pierce and Garnett were also staring at the TV, reacting like sharks when they smell even the slightest smell of blood in the water, extremely ferocious.
As soon as Garnett saw Ryan's face, veins popped out:
"It seems that he hasn't learned his lesson from the 14-point victory last time."
Pierce picked up the knife and fork on the table and seemed to want to cut Ryan into pieces:
"It doesn't matter, let's teach him a lesson then!
We used to fight alone, but now, we have you, I, and Allen.
We are invincible! "
The reaction of the restaurant owner, Pierce and Garnett at this time was also the reaction of all Boston fans.
No one in the history of the NBA has dared to say that they want to burn the garden to the ground!
Ryan, a foreign player, has only left a small mark in NBA history. How dare he!
However, everyone believes that the powerful Big Three will "bring Lane to justice."
The last time the Celtics defeated the Nuggets by 14 points was just the first game of the Big Three.
This time, after adjusting better, it is not impossible to create a more terrifying massacre!
The conversation ended in two directions. In Los Angeles, Ryan, who had finished the game and returned to the hotel, answered Leon Rose's call.
On the other end of the phone, Leon Rose asked curiously: "Why were you on the phone just now?"
"Oh, I had a brief chat with Taylor."
"A few words? It's been half an hour, boss!"
"Ah? Has it been half an hour? Hahaha, there is really nothing you can do against a girl who is in love. She has to say she misses me and sing to me. What do you think I can do?
Hey, how can I refuse such a warm-hearted girl? "
On the side, Artest, who was playing games in Ryan's room, his eyes suddenly lit up: "How do you know if your intestines are hot or not? Ryan!"
Ryan glared at Artest, "Damn it, I just said that in order to fuck Kobe Bryant, I gave up the one shot of Swifty, leaving me victorious but still defeated."
Now let’s talk about whether the intestines are hot or not.
You really can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!
After Artest saw Ryan's cannibalistic look, he immediately stopped talking and concentrated on playing the game quietly.
Leon Rose on the other end of the phone was confused:
"What kind of intestines are hot or not? I tell you, you can't eat that as a midnight snack, it's high in fat!"
The reason I called you is to tell you that many brands are ready to officially sign endorsement contracts with us in the near future.
You are getting closer to being number one on Forbes!
Boston and Cleveland, conquer these two places again, and wait for Tiger Woods to come and shake your hand at the next golf celebrity charity match! "
After Ryan hung up the phone, he nodded with satisfaction.
Half a year ago, when I said I would surpass Tiger Woods.
Everyone was listening to it as a joke.
But now, Ryan is just one step away from achieving his goal!
Of course, the premise is that the Celtics and Cavaliers can be won.
Only by killing these two Eastern Conference teams that are most likely to reach the finals will people believe that they can win the championship.
Especially the Celtics, the Big Three are in the spotlight this season, ranking higher than the Lakers in the strength rankings, and have always ranked first.
Defeating the Lakers would at best prove that Ryan can reach the finals.
But defeating the Celtics shows that Ryan can win three consecutive championships!
Ryan estimates that Boston fans hate him now, right?
He also knew how infuriating what he just said at Staples Center was.
But Ryan just wanted to make the Boston fans hate him, and then have to watch him celebrate in the North Shore Garden!
Everything the Nuggets fans experienced during the opening game, Ryan wants to let the Celtics fans experience it too!
The next day, as expected, all the media were reporting on the exchange between Ryan and Kobe, reporting on Ryan's historic three consecutive 40-10 games.
Moreover, after being suspended for eight games, Ryan scored 40+10 in three consecutive games as soon as he returned.
The condition is simply amazing.
Kobe, who just became the background, was a little miserable.
"Being intercepted, pulled out, and dunked, Kobe was completely destroyed at the critical moment!"
"The king of mid-range has changed hands? Ryan's mid-range shot destroyed Kobe!"
"Kobe Bryant's first career in the Western Conference has entered the final countdown!"
How crazy Kobe was before at the Pepsi Center, now he is so humble.
Also, ESPN's news headline showed a little respect for Kobe: "Kobe, the man who took away Taylor's happiness!"
Looking at it this way, Kobe suddenly felt that he seemed quite important!
At least, I forced out the strongest Ryan! He doesn't dare to devote even a drop of energy to deal with others!
Ryan was also speechless. Please stop spreading rumors about my affair with Kobe!
The two most uncomfortable things in the world: having an affair with a man, and GTA6 will not be released until 2025.
Ryan's momentum after his comeback is really scary.
After all, even the mighty Kobe was beaten by Ryan.
And this fear spread like a virus throughout the league in the winter of 2007.
Most teams don't want to play against Ryan right now, and Trail Blazers fans are even praying that the team won't lose by more than 30 points in the game against the Nuggets soon.
This kind of person who would even give up his girlfriend in order to fuck his opponent, what can't he do?
But the Celtics were obviously not infected by the "plague". When the entire league was afraid of Ryan, the Celtics' Big Three were not afraid at all.
During the media opening time after today's training, Pierce, Garnett and even the elegant Ray Allen responded to Ryan's remarks last night about burning down the garden.
Although Ray Allen’s words were civilized, he also revealed his ruthlessness:
"Ryan's recent performance has been quite good, but after all, we are the league's No. 1 defensive team. So far this season, no one has been able to score 40 points on us.
Not to mention 40+10.
In the past two games, Ryan scored 40+10, and the Nuggets only narrowly won.
If he doesn't get 40+10, the Nuggets have no chance of winning. "
Garnett is much rougher:
"What's the point of beating a garbage team like the Lakers? We beat the Nuggets by 14 points. I just need to remind him of this."
The most angry among them was Pierce, because he had the deepest bond with North Shore Garden, and he was the most angry about what Ryan said:
"Ryan, I know, a Grand Slam honor, two championships, two MVPs, two FMVPs, an All-Star among All-Stars.
What a terrible player!
But the last time we played against the Nuggets, didn't he come?
How come I don’t remember the Nuggets having such great players?
What? You said that number 0 is it?
Are you talking about the guy who was beaten like a dog by us without the protection of Weber and Kirilenko?
Hahahaha, if it were him, then the only thing he could do when he came to North Shore Garden was to hide in the fucking locker room and call Weber: Honey, help me!
Or he could cry on his 18-year-old girlfriend's shoulder after the game.
North Shore Garden is destined to make you cry! "
Paul Pierce is definitely the most merciless person in the league.
Everyone who has experienced his smooth tongue says it is good.
In terms of words, he will use various methods to anger and despise his opponents.
The collective response of the Big Three made Boston fans let out a sigh of relief.
Although after Ryan's comeback, the Nuggets performed very well.
But after all, the Celtics have performed very well throughout the season.
Indeed, compared to the opening game, the Nuggets added Ben and Artest. But Pierce thinks this is useless.
Because the Celtics' biggest advantage is defense!
Even though the Celtics have the Big Three, their offense can't even make it into the top ten in the league.
But the defense is No. 1 in the league.
Therefore, the Nuggets adding two defensive players will have no impact on the Celtics at all.
The Celtics have never relied on offense to win, and compared to the opening game, the Nuggets' offense was not a level stronger.
Therefore, he firmly believes that the Celtics can still win!
When all of Boston is waiting to see the bloody killing of the Big Three tomorrow night.
However, Ryan appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" the night before the game, wearing a smart suit and ties.
You can't make money just by shooting commercials.
You also need to participate in more TV shows.
"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" is one of the most popular talk shows in the United States. This program has been on the air since the 1950s and is a household name across the United States.
Ryan also deliberately wore his two championship rings when he appeared today, which was particularly eye-catching.
When the show host saw Ryan, he also stood up and applauded:
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you the NBA regular season MVP and championship winner in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, the most dazzling treasure in the Rockies, Lion King Ryan!"
This appearance was very staged, but soon the bad taste of this show began to show.
After Ryan sat down, the host immediately sighed:
"Ryan, I know fans all over the world love you, but my love for you is fading a little bit now.
Because my favorite young singer actually became your girlfriend!
God, how many more people are going to be kidnapped by Ryan!
But speaking of which, your little girlfriend did give us some fun things.
We all know you're a tough guy on the court.
But off the court, fans also want to see Ryan's cute side, right? "
Ryan's eyes widened in surprise: "What's the cute side?"
"Well, some videos that maybe Taylor Swift didn't send to you but sent to us!"
When the host said this, Ryan suddenly swallowed his saliva.
Immediately afterwards, a video was played, which was a video of Swift and Ryan cuddling together and singing in the car last night.
Ryan covered his face with a smile. When Swift said she would send the video to the show yesterday, Ryan thought she was joking!
Looks like I have to deal with her better next time!
Obviously, this is a video of Swift showing off her affection in public. Tell those messed up models and actors to stay away from Ryan.
But this video did subvert Ryan's image in people's minds.
Ryan also shrugged: "Next time she appears on the show, please notify me in advance. I also have a lot of videos that she doesn't even have!"
After the simple banter, the program began to proceed normally.
During this process, host Jay Leno actually didn't ask Ryan many questions about basketball.
Because the audience is already too familiar with Ryan on the basketball court.
If you want high ratings, you must ask Ryan more about things outside the basketball court.
But Ryan is a basketball player after all, so at the end of the show, Jay Leno inevitably asked a clichéd question:
“Ryan, tomorrow night you will face the Boston Celtics, currently the number one team in the league, at Boston’s North Shore Garden.
The Big Three all made harsh words this afternoon, and Pierce even threatened to let you call Weber to cry, and let you cry on Taylor's shoulder.
Is there anything you want to say to them now? "
Ryan stretched out his hand and deliberately played with the two championship rings on his hand:
"Big Three?
You mean, those three combined, the Big Three don’t have more championship rings than me alone? "
Ryan's humiliating answer won the audience's approval.
Jay Leno on the side also deliberately pretended to be trembling in fear:
"You all heard it, this is Ryan, the most terrifying man in the league! Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget to lock in tomorrow night's game!"
On the nation's most famous talk show, Ryan opened up about his conflicts with the Big Three.
This will undoubtedly make this game more eye-catching!
At the beginning, this game was only the "Spring Festival Gala" in the hearts of fans.
But now, some fans who don't usually watch football, or relatively light fans, are paying attention to this game!
Early the next morning, almost all local newspapers in Boston published Lane's words.
Pierce threw away the newspaper in the locker room.
"I promise, Kevin, I promise I won't let him say a dirty word tonight!
This damn, damn, stupid bastard!
I want him to lose face! "
Pierce was anxious. Ryan's words, "Three of them put together, the number of championship rings is less than mine alone." It hurt, it hurt so much!
Pierce thought he had won the victory with his trash talk yesterday afternoon during the pre-game exchange of insults.
Little did I know that Ryan did something even more ruthless in the show!
To be honest, Pierce said that Ryan would cry on Swift, which was not very humiliating, because Ryan would not be able to do that.
But Ryan's words were humiliating, because the three of them really couldn't get a ring together!
You are exposing the shortcomings of my three brothers in front of the whole country!
Pierce was furious and vowed to make Ryan look good!
And tonight, before the game even started, the ratings had already exploded.
It seems that last night's talk show did stimulate the ratings of the game in disguise.
When Ryan got off the team bus, he was chewing gum in his mouth and looked relatively relaxed.
Bird had a serious face. Bird was angry enough after losing to the Celtics at home last time.
This time back to the North Shore Garden, Big Bird will never allow the team to lose again!
Because Bird's relationship with the Celtics broke down, he has always regarded his former team as his enemy after retiring.
Even your worst enemy!
So after walking into the locker room, Bird changed from his normal state of excitement and slammed the door of the locker room angrily:
"Everyone, brace yourself! If we lose this game today, we will be in a fucking embarrassment than a dog!"
After yelling, Bird loosened his tie.
Damn, I just yelled a few words, why does it feel a little hot?
Bird quickly realized that the temperature of the air conditioners in these locker rooms was deliberately adjusted very high!
Bird cursed secretly: "Damn it, it's been decades, and you're still doing this bad trick!"
Big Bird knows the Celtics so well that it would not be surprising to find a snake in the locker when the team is playing away games at North Shore Garden.
Because this team will always use various methods to interfere with the visiting team's state.
For example, in order to deal with the Showtime Lakers, the Celtics would even adjust the tightness of the basket!
In the Lakers' offensive half, the basket will be deliberately adjusted. When the basket is tighter, there will be more long rebounds and the ball will stay longer. This will give the Celtics players time to return to defense. Being hit back by the opponent.
The team would even do tricks on the floor to prevent Magic from dribbling smoothly!
The "air-conditioning tactic" is the most famous of the Celtics' series of off-board tactics.
In Game 5 of the 1984 Finals, the Lakers who hooked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar arrived in Boston only to be informed that the air conditioner in the visiting team's locker room was "broken." Under the scorching sun, the temperature inside was close to 38 degrees.
This had a huge impact on the aging Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's condition, and he finally had to wear an oxygen mask to deal with the suffocation caused by the high temperature.
In the end, the Lakers, who were tortured by the high temperature in that game, also lost this crucial battle.
Entering the new century, the Celtics' visiting team's locker room is still in a lot of trouble.
There may even be situations where the visiting team's locker room cannot use hot water.
The Celtics wanted to use this series of methods to tell the visiting team from the beginning: "You have come to hell!"
At this time, the door to the locker room was pushed open.
Paul Pierce walked in with his head held high.
Breaking into the opponent's locker room before the game is already a huge provocation.
After Pierce walked in, he knowingly mocked: "Why are you guys sweating so much?"
Pierce's behavior undoubtedly made the Nuggets players grit their teeth.
Artest immediately approached him: "Go away, you are not welcome here."
But Pierce didn't care:
"Who are you? I don't talk to nobody.
Hey Ryan, listen, it's 30 tonight! "
Pierce pointed out three fingers and thought to himself: "Damn, I'm so handsome! These idiots are all shocked by me!"
Ryan was stunned for a second, and then showed the same expression as "Donnie Yen pointing and laughing.jpg".
"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You have the nerve to come to the locker room and provoke me at .30 fucking minutes?
Paul, you're afraid you want to laugh me to death and then take the opportunity to defeat the Nuggets! "
Then Ryan stood up with a smile, walked up to him, and put four fingers on Pierce's face:
"Go back and tell your team, 40 points tonight!
No matter who you use to defend me, they can't stop the North Shore Garden from burning! "
At this time, because the locker room door is opening.
Therefore, the scene of Ryan mocking and choking Pierce back was also captured by reporters.
From that moment on, whoever loses this war will really lose face!
Pierce was unwilling to admit defeat, so he attacked him with a video of Ryan and Swift singing on yesterday's show:
“It’s okay Ryan, if you lose, your little girlfriend will sing a song to comfort you.
Then record the video and send it to the TV station, so that the whole world can appreciate your disgusting appearance! "
Lai was really angry and actually used the video to attack him.
So Ryan pushed Artest away and stuck it in Pierce's face: "You pity Paul, because after losing you can only do push-ups with Garnett to comfort yourself! Go away with your 30-point cold joke !”
Ryan's momentum was overwhelming at this time, and Ben, Artest and Birdman were also clapping their fingers, which made Paul Pierce really frightened.
He took a few steps back, then quickly turned around and left.
Under the lens of the reporters, Pierce, who originally came to the Nuggets locker room to pretend to be mad, was eventually beaten and ran back in despair!
On the way back, Pierce thought to himself that 30 points was very bold. After all, the Nuggets' defense was not bad either.
30 points. Is that still less?
As a result, Ryan actually scored 40 points!
How can you do such a good job! ?
Pierce still doesn't believe that someone can score 40 points in a single game under the Celtics' defense!
Moreover, if Ryan scores 40 points again, it will be 40 points in four consecutive games.
How can this be?
Pierce found it incredible, which was normal.
Because people often cannot imagine things beyond their own abilities.
Ryan happens to be in North Shore Garden to make the impossible possible!
Today’s 10,000-word update is here! I am a conscientious old man, please kneel down and beg for a monthly ticket! Thank you stepfathers!
