Chapter 77 076: Playing with Bird and pretending to beep at the same time (please vote for me!)

The Celtics and Lakers are famous rivals not just in the NBA, but in the entire history of professional sports.

The rivalry between the two teams began in the late 1950s and reached its climax in the 1980s with the Magic Bird Hegemony.

For both teams, every encounter is like a war.

What's more, it's still 1991, when the lingering heat of the Demon Birds' struggle for supremacy has not faded away.

Trash talk is child's play.

Iron elbows flying across the field, criminals everywhere, that is the normal state of the yellow-green war.

The level of animosity between the two teams and the level of animosity between the fans of the two teams has reached a level where they would start a fight if they met on the street.

Although Bird and Maggie were friends in private, even though Bill Sharman, a meritorious player from Green Bay, retired as a coach and led the Lakers to the championship.

But none of this could slow down the hostile relationship between the two teams.

The battle between yellow and green is the most enduring drama in the world, just like neon love movies.

Therefore, when Shay and his teammates walked into the Boston Garden, the yelling at the scene never stopped.

"Yellow-skinned monkey, I hope you will be shattered to pieces today!"

“Niggas, do you have any physical exams?

Don't pass the HIV virus to our players, you Lakers all have some of that stuff on you."

"What a fucking shame you didn't get into a car accident on the way here?"

Don't doubt, don't be surprised.

When the Lakers show up at the Boston Garden, there will be no quality fans in the stands.

What's more, Boston is one of the places with the most severe racial discrimination.

Not to mention the Lakers players, Bill Russell, the "Lord of the Rings" who established a great career with Greencaps, would be reviled by his own fans and hit with water bottles.

In fact, the Celtics team itself has made many pioneering achievements.

The first time a black man was selected, the first time five black men were used in the starting lineup, the first time there was a black coach...

But the fans here are another story. Their evil behavior even led Russell to refuse to hold a jersey retirement ceremony in front of Boston fans in 1972.

In original history, it was not until 1999 that the Celtics held a jersey retirement ceremony for the King of the Rings.

Fortunately, Bird was white, otherwise his life in Boston would never have been so comfortable.

These insults made the game full of tension and gunpowder before it even started.

Of course, it will also bring great psychological pressure to the Lakers players.

For example, the old Curry, his accuracy in shooting during the warm-up today was actually close to that of Shay.

"What's going on with you? Are you practicing trumpet with your wife again?

Are the previous two accounts useless?

You can’t delay playing the trumpet while practicing the trumpet!”

Sam Perkins looked at Curry who was hitting the iron continuously and started teasing.

"No, it's just that these bastards are so scary!"

Dell Curry didn't even dare to look at the fans in the Boston Garden.

I'm afraid that if you look at a big brother in the crowd one more time, the big brother will ask you to eat peanuts if you don't agree with me.

Although the old Curry has played away games in Boston before, coming to the Boston nursing home as a Lakers player feels different from before.

No one cared about him before, but it was different today. Old Curry was scolded and confused as soon as he came in.

These fans act as if they have a sworn hatred against them.

He was panicking. When he was panicking, he would feel uncomfortable playing and his shooting accuracy would be affected.

Perkins patted the old Curry on the shoulder. That's how it was when playing in Boston.

It's okay for old Curry, the inferior horse, to be frightened, but Shay, the superior horse, can't be frightened.

Dell Curry: Let me ask you one last time, how polite are you?

Perkins is still a little worried about Shea. The game atmosphere in Boston Garden is indeed too unfriendly for rookies.

Of course, the scariest thing about Boston Garden is not the fans, but the verbal artist.

If that guy also goes up to Shay.

Just when Perkins was thinking about it, he saw the big beeping bird leading everyone from the Celtics out on the field!

In an instant, the abuse at the scene suddenly stopped and was replaced by endless cheers.

Larry Bird, the absolute legend of the NBA, the absolute dean of the pretending world, and the owner of the Boston Garden, finally makes his appearance!

Bird stared at Shay with stern eyes as soon as he came up. He was in fighting mode from the moment he stepped onto the court.

As long as he sees the Lakers' yellow warm-up uniform, Bird will be full of energy.

See Huang's intention!

Shay also stared into Bird's eyes for a few seconds without evading him.

Perkins swallowed his saliva when he saw Shay squaring off against Bird.

It’s over, it’s gone!

Shay must not be sprayed to the point of being autistic today!

Don't look into his eyes, I'll wipe them!

The game is about to start, and the starting lineups of both teams are already in place.

The Celtics' starting five are John Bagley, Kevin Gamble, Ray Jay Lewis, Bird and "Chief" Parish, who is nearly 40 years old.

The Celtics' lineup is indeed a bit worse than it was in its heyday in the 1980s.

But if you think this Green Kai has fallen, you are totally wrong.

The Celtics won 56 games last season, second in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the league.

And reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in the playoffs.

Reggie Lewis, the young core of this Celtics team, has shown great potential. Last season's battle with "Jordan at the top four times" made him famous.

Although Old Bird is severely disabled due to back injuries, if Shea remembers correctly, he can still hit 20+9+6 all-around statistics this season.

And he averaged 46.6% shooting per game and 40.6% three-point shooting!

Can you believe this is a battle-damaged version?

Speaking of which, the reason for Bird's back injury is also very strange.

The back injury that has troubled him for many years was not caused by playing basketball. It was caused by him falling down the stairs while renovating his garden during the offseason and being reluctant to hire anyone to do it himself.

Who would have thought, the two devils in the 1980s.

One injured himself because he fell, and the other got AIDS because of the big waves.

Things really are unpredictable.

In short, Green Kai at this period can still be considered a strong team.

So today will undoubtedly be a very difficult battle for Shay.

And the Celtics will never let go of the opportunity to give the Lakers a fourth consecutive loss!

At the beginning of the game, Divac still couldn't take advantage of the almost 40-year-old Chief.

Parish is in good physical condition, not to mention playing the Lakers, which would be even more exciting.

He must use his violent iron elbow to kill in the three-second zone today!

After Bagley took possession of the ball past halftime, Shea kept a close eye on Ray Jay Lewis, the Green Army's hope who died young due to heart disease in history.

Today, Dunleavy was not conservative. He asked Shay to directly confront King Lewis.

Bird is quite old, so Dunleavy believes that as long as he keeps an eye on Lewis, the team can avoid at least 50% of its troubles.

Even if the defense is good, there is still a chance to put the game directly into garbage time, and there is no need to fight the Celtics to the end.

After all, if Lewis is frozen, then in the third and fourth quarters, can you expect a group of exhausted Celtics old bones to reverse the game?

So today, Shea directly defended the genius who stole Jordan four times last season.

Shea's tight focus did have an effect, and Reggie Lewis found it extremely difficult to catch the ball.

No. 23 of the Lakers is like Pippen of the Bulls. Once he sticks to you, you can't get rid of him.

Just when Ray J. Lewis was at a loss what to do, Bird suddenly stepped forward and set an off-ball screen for his younger brother.

Lewis immediately used the screen to rush out, but Shay was stopped by Bird.

"Switch defense!" AC. Green shouted to remind Shay.
