Under the watchful eyes of both Wallaces, the NBA opening game officially came to an end.

Wayne was not the best player on the opening day. After all, Dallas' Dirk had an outstanding performance of 33 points and 10 rebounds in the first game. James and Artest also had better statistics than Wayne.

But Wayne became one of the most watched stars on the opening day, basically sharing everyone's attention with James.

The status of MOP makes American fans full of expectations for Wayne.

In the Chinese market, Chinese fans are full of expectations for Wayne.

With this combination, Wayne surpassed everyone and his fame skyrocketed!

Early the next morning, many local media in Indianapolis also spoke positively of the new player's performance.

Indianapolis Cornman: The final piece of the championship puzzle is in place!

"Indiana Times": Wayne will be the best rookie in this class, and Bird made the most correct choice.

"Incheng News": We have a real MOP.

In just one game, Wayne gained fame and popularity throughout the league.

While Wayne was enjoying the admiration from the media and fans in Indianapolis, Wayne's good brother Tony was almost shut down due to being criticized.

He was not criticized for being autistic by the media, but was criticized for being autistic by his teammates.

"Why are you so soft? Are all the defensive players in college now like this? You have to work hard. Will you die if you work harder? I didn't feel your presence at all just now!"

In the training hall of North Shore Garden, Tony looked at the chattering bald head in front of him and swallowed his anger.

At this time, the Celtics are making final preparations for the first game of the new season in the evening.

As a rookie, Tony was already very nervous before the start of the game.

As a result, instead of being comforted, he was depressed by Payton, who was training with him.

"Glove" Gary Payton's famous line "I cross you like I cross the road in the morning" is a well-known one.

Of course, some people now believe that Payton never said this sentence at all, and that this sentence may be completely fabricated by the media.

But regardless of whether he has this sentence or not, Payton's foul-mouthed characteristics are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he is still very high in the ranking of trash talkers.

In the 1996 Finals, Payton and the old gangster exchanged insults so much that Jackson had to replace Pippen to defend Payton.

Because Payton's trash talk distracted the "god".

This shows his ability to talk.

As a newbie, how could Teacher Tony withstand Peyton's spray?

"Hey, today's players are getting worse and worse." Payton couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that he had made Tony stupid with just a few words.

He didn't mean to criticize Tony, he just wanted to strengthen the rookie's heart in advance.

Payton wanted a ring so much that he failed to get it in Los Angeles last year, so he ran to Boston this year.

As long as he can win the championship, Payton doesn't care where he plays.

Since we want to win the championship, the rookies must also play their role.

Therefore, Payton can be said to be quite strict with Tony.

Tony suddenly felt a sore nose when he thought about Wayne having Artest helping him buy drinks while he was being sprayed here.

They are both NCAA champions, so why is the gap so big?

"Hey, what are you thinking about!? Come on, continue!" At this time, Payton's shouts echoed in the training hall again.

"Oh, okay..." Tony picked up the basketball.

In the past, he thought it was difficult enough to fight Wayne alone, but now, he realized that Wayne was simply an angel!

Although the one-on-one fight with Wayne was a bit fierce, at least he wouldn't be sprayed to the point of shutting down.

That night, the game between the Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers was really intense.

Paul Pierce scored 35 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, but he still failed to defeat the 76ers led by Iverson.

The change in HC rules allowed Iverson to hit a super high shooting rate of 59.1%!

For most of the game, the Celtics actually had the advantage.

But in the last minute and a half, the Celtics failed to score a single point and hit 5 irons in a row!

Just like that, the victory was ruined.

98 to 95, even though the Celtics made a lot of preparations for the game, they still unfortunately suffered a defeat.

Tony Allen only got 6 minutes of playing time today. He made 1 of 1 shots, scored 2 points, made 1 turnover and 1 foul. It was almost just soy sauce, and it was incomparable with Wayne's debut performance yesterday.

But on the bench, Tony also witnessed a magical fight between the league's top scorers.

Only then did he feel that Payton's request was not excessive at all.

Because on the court, your opponents are often more aggressive than your teammates.

At the end of the game, Payton felt quite uncomfortable when he saw AI and his teammates meeting and high-fiving each other to celebrate their first win of the season.

The seemingly ambitious Celtics still lost, just like the Lakers last season.

Why is it so difficult to win the championship?

Payton left the game silently, and Tony returned to the locker room dejectedly.

Of course, because of the loss, Tony did not receive a practical debut gift like Wayne.

The Celtics players have no intention of doing that now, and everyone is unhappy if they lose.

It has to be said that the gap Tony encountered after entering the NBA was much greater than that of Wayne.

Subsequently, several reporters were allowed to enter the locker room to interview the players.

Among them, some people walked up to Tony.

"Tony, today's game is really a pity. If you had more playing time, do you think you could have changed the outcome?"

"There are no ifs on the basketball court. If you lose, you lose. What we have to do is sum up experience and strive to play better." Although Tony was aggrieved, he was not stupid enough to talk nonsense.

Now openly saying that the playing time is too little is not seeking death.

"Speaking of the next game, the day after tomorrow, the Celtics will play the Pacers in the North Shore Garden. You and Wayne are about to meet again as opponents. What are your expectations for this game?"

After hearing this question, Tony smiled slightly: "I hope both of us can perform well!"

"But Wayne is now a player for the Pacers."

"I know, then only if he performs well, then we can beat the Pacers, hahahahaha."

After answering the reporters' questions, Tony shook his head.

do not know why.

He actually missed that guy a little bit...

※※※

Although Wayne yelled on the phone, "Tony, your debut performance will definitely not be as good as mine."

But seeing Tony basically sitting on the bench for the whole game, Wayne was still very worried.

I have no choice but to wait until the 5th... and mock Tony in person!

This is probably a real friend.

Speaking of which, it is indeed a pity that Lukai lost this game.

It was obvious that we were going to win, but who knew there would be a collective misfire at the last moment.

It is quite difficult to lose. In the last five shots, the Celtics would not lose even if they scored a three-pointer.

But they just avoided the basket perfectly, and it was so impressive.

From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to win the next game.

As long as Artest can keep an eye on Pierce, most of the Celtics' combat effectiveness will be lost.

During training the next day, Artest was unexpectedly very serious.

During the simulated actual combat training in the afternoon, he even competed with his teammates with live ammunition.

Of course, Artest did not fight with Wayne, he also wanted to save his ribs...

"Hey, PP is going to be in bad luck tomorrow." Watching Artest knock down another teammate, O'Neill next to Wayne sighed.

"What's wrong with him?" Wayne asked cautiously. This time the hatred was implanted a little too much.

"What's going on? We're going to fight Paul Pierce tomorrow. Those two guys... are old enemies. Didn't you see the scene when he took off Paul Pierce's pants when he was defending Pierce last season?"

Xiao Ao reminded Wayne that there seemed to be such a famous scene.

In a certain game last season, while Artest was guarding Paul Pierce, he didn't know what was wrong with him and suddenly took off his pants...

Moreover, there was still a vacuum inside Pierce at the time... This scene can be called a restricted scene.

What was even more outrageous was that after Pierce put on his pants, he acted like nothing was wrong and immediately ran out to catch the ball and hit Artest with a shot into the net.
