Before the game, the enthusiastic Celtics fans had filled the entire North Shore Garden Arena. Although there was still some time before the start of the game, the players of the two teams had to do some warm-up training before the game.
But the passionate fans were ready for everything.
When Wang Zhe stepped into the stadium through the players 'passage, he felt the away pressure from the fans for the first time.
"Hey, kid, why are you here? Why don't you let your boss Kobe come? Are you afraid of us?"
"To be honest, without Kobe, a lousy team like yours doesn't have the strength to compete with us at all.”
"Are you that bad boy, Wang Zhe? Hahaha, let me tell you, kid. Don't think about having a good time here today.”
……
Just a short way out of the players 'tunnel, countless Celtics fans were mocking Wang Zhe.
Wang Zhe didn't care too much about this.
He had experienced this feeling in the NCAA. Although it was not as intense as the Celtics 'home game, he was mentally prepared.
When he came to the field and faced the cheers of the fans, Vujasic shook his head and sighed."" I feel like I'm suffocating. Even now, I still remember the situation when we played here last season. The opponents were too fierce. They completely restrained Kobe and we suffered a crushing defeat..."
Pau Gasol said," Sasha, don't boost the morale of others and diminish your own prestige. Have you forgotten that we also beat them by a large margin in Los Angeles?”
Wang Zhe's expression did not change. He just looked at the retired jersey of the Celestials in the sky above the field in a daze.
……
The exciting entrance ceremony for the home game had arrived.
Rajon Rondo was first, followed by Garnett, Ray Allen, Perkins, and finally, Paul Pierce.
The host was enthusiastically stirring up the atmosphere.
When it came to the visiting team, it was much duller.
This was the difference between home and away games in the NBA.
……
The Celtics 'power forward, Kevin Garnett, was very excited. Although he was already 34 years old, he was still full of energy.
At this moment, he was sitting and preparing for the match while chattering,"We'll get rid of those bugs. They don't even have a boss. Coming here is simply courting death. Rajen (Rondo), don't give them face. Throw the ball into the air.”
As everyone knew, Wolf King Garrett was a famous trash talker.
Even though the match hadn't started yet, he was still chattering non-stop.
His teammates had long been accustomed to his way of playing. According to Garnett, talking non-stop could keep him energetic in the game. During the game, he would use this method to pressure his opponents, thereby angering them and making them panic.
The calm Ray Allen said," Although the main player of the Laker, Kobe, is not playing, we can't let our guard down. Their rookie No. 31 is very fierce inside. Kevin, you have to be careful.”
" He thinks he's strong?" Garnett was completely unconcerned. It's just that the intensity of the regular season isn't high enough, and he's a rookie, so no one is targeting him. I'll give him the intensity of this game and let him experience the playoffs in advance.”
Paul Pierce said," Kevin, be gentle with the young ones. We're considered seniors. He's just a rookie."”
Garnett smiled." I agree. The Celtics fans at the stadium won't agree either. The opponent is the Laker.”
"Alright then."
……
The players from both sides came on stage. The jump ball was in the center circle, and Wang Zhe faced Garnett.
As soon as he stood still, Garnett started gossiping again."I heard you're called Bad Boy, right? However, it doesn't work here."
Of course, Wang Zhe had heard of Garnett's name. According to the rumors, he had not used all his " strength " in the opening sentence.
Of course, this was right under the eyes of the referee. He believed that he would not dare to be too impudent.
Wang Zhe didn't pay much attention to Garnett's " provocation."
Wang Zhe quickly jumped. Although Garnett was tall and had long arms, he was at a disadvantage because of his slow reaction. He was one step slower, and the ball was jumped away by Wang Zhe.
The first wave of possession went to the Los Angeles Clippers.
As the season progressed, Wang Zhe had become more and more integrated into Phil Jackson's tactical system. In this lineup, he first came to the low post to cover for his teammates without the ball.
His opponent was Perkins, a center who was not tall enough, could not jump high enough, and was only very heavy.
After Gasol went around the perimeter to support his teammates, the outside shooters of the Los Angeles Clippers spread out one after another, leaving space for Wang Zhe in the low post.
Gasol decisively transferred the ball to Wang Zhe, who was ready to receive the ball in the low post.
Wang Zhe took the ball and faced Perkins. Perkins did not say anything, but Garnett, who was next to him, loudly commanded,""He can't hit you. Let him hit, don't let him shoot.”
Wang Zhe suddenly moved. He turned his back and quickly brushed past Perkins. He rushed into the basket and dunked with both hands.
Perkins was still stunned on the spot. He did not expect Wang Zhe to turn around so quickly.
2:0
The Los Angeles Clippers scored the first goal of the game. Wang Zhe ran back and made a " so easy " gesture.
