The next day, the headline of the Boston Times triggered a new round of public opinion. All the newspapers in Boston were sold out in the morning.
Antoine Walker bluntly said that O'Neal did not pay attention to body management. This year, he would feel the taste of failure!》
Of course, under the headlines, there were many subheadlines and other articles that also attracted fans who had been hungry for the entire offseason to read carefully and get the latest basketball news.
In the 1990s, other than newspapers and television, fans had almost no way to know what was going on inside and outside the NBA.
"The comeback of Auerbach, the rise of the Greenshirts!"》
When will the Cardinal light up his victory cigar?》
" The most luxurious coaching team in history, Big Bird Cardinal!》
Abandoning Indiana, what is Big Bird's goal?》
"Whether a superstar can lead a team, Big Bird will give the answer this season!"》
"The Celtics 'new season's player tour!"》
"Humble Tanhua Xiu, can you lead the team out of the quagmire?"》
"Genius Fatty, Antoine Walker's Changing Life!"》
"The first Asian rookie in history, a fake is still worth the money!"》
Low-key and confident, UCLA's talented power forward, Lin Long!》
……
When the fans finished reading it, they would find that more than half of the headlines were talking about the coaching staff. There were very few who talked about the players. This was a wonder in the entire league.
It also indirectly showed that the players of this team really lacked some of the topics and stars that they should have.
"Is this child okay? He has the ability to provoke O'Neill? He will be torn apart."
"No, this is the pride of the people of Boston! I've fallen in love with Walker. I thought he was just a soft and sticky donut. This is more like it."
"Sigh, looking at the lineup, it's another wasted year. I might as well just give up and choose Vincent Carter next year.”
"Getting Carter means getting Dr. J of the New Era!”
"Carter! Carter! Carter! Carter!"
Strangely enough, the streets of Boston were filled with a large number of fans who were chanting the name of Vincent Carter.
However, this did not affect the players 'mood.
At this time, the Boston Celtics players had also arrived at the North Shore Garden to prepare for their first preseason game against the New jersey Nets.
The NBA's new season was in full swing. After the media day was the preseason. They would play five preseason games with their opponents in the same district, and then the long regular season would begin.
Facing the first game of the new season, the players were all rubbing their fists and excited.
After all, this was almost a brand new team. There was no fixed rotation, and there was no pressure from the results.
In other words, anyone had a chance to rise to the top!
This was still full of temptation for those young people.
Auerbach did not lay out too many things before the game. He only released his starting list.
Lin Long, Antoine Walker, and Chauncey Billups started together, along with the veteran, Dee Brown, and center, Walter Mccarthy.
These five players could be considered the strongest lineup that the Celtics could release today.
It was really a little shabby.
It was so shabby that even the New jersey Nets, which originally did not have a strong lineup, looked like they were full of energy and strength.
The starting lineup for the Nets was point guard Sam Cassel, shooting guard Kendall Kiel, small forward Corey "Mosquito" Kittles, who was last year's No. 8 player, power forward was this year's No. 2 player, Kees Van Horn, and center Jason Williams.
Although it was only a preseason game, and only Alien had a little bit of star appearance among the ten players on both sides, and he was an extraterrestrial star, as the first game of the new season, this game still attracted many fans to watch the game. The North Shore Garden Arena was 80% full.
As the referee blew his whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the air. Mccarthy and Williams could be considered a pair of brothers in distress. Neither of them had any skills worthy of being recorded. After a wave of noobs pecking at each other, the Celtics got the first wave of possession.
After Billups got the ball, he passed it directly to Walker. This was the rule set by Walker: The first goal of the game had to be the boss.
Facing his peer Kittles, Walker did not hold back at all. After a flurry of headshots, he found an opportunity to make a layup.
Walker shook his big butt coquettishly, attracting cheers from the fans!
Lin Long did not manage to touch the ball in the first round, but he was not anxious at all. The Steel Body not only strengthened his body, but also his heart.
Lin Long felt the passion of the fans and the venue and lights of the NBA-level game. Unknowingly, the blood in his body surged and burned!
After two lifetimes, he had finally fulfilled the biggest dream of all basketball players-to enter the NBA!
In his excitement, Linlong did not forget his duty to defend.
Lin Long, who was the No. 6 player, was going to play against the second-place player, Van Horne. This was also considered a medium-sized highlight of the game.
Although the two of them were not very popular for the time being, after all, almost all the traffic of this year's rookie had been sucked away by Duncan!
Unlike other power forwards who took the ball in the low post, Van Horn got the ball directly from the flank and dribbled under the basket twice, showing his biggest selling point as a white forward: Dexterity and basic skills!
Then, Van Horn suddenly took a step back and stepped on the three-point line, wanting to make a signature shot.
However, Lin Long, who was on full alert, had already seen through the archer's plan. He took a step forward and stretched out his long arms.
"Pa!"
A sturdy Huaxia hotpot that couldn't be any sturdier had stunned the second-place winner.
At the same time, Linlong could clearly feel a piece of information flowing through his mind.
Winning points 20.
