Chapter 34 Camp Day(1/2)

No matter how the Celtics fans criticize Angie's draft standards now, they cannot change the facts that have been confirmed.

Although the Chinese bald boy doesn't look like a guy who can help the team no matter how he looks, this boy is destined to be entangled with the Celtics this season.

Even if the boy's fate is to be transferred to NBDL, he is also a member of the Celtics unless Angie can fire him immediately.

But now it seems that Angie doesn't have such an idea, and the Celtics don't explain the draft. As for Chen Feng, don't expect him to say something to the reporters.

Even if the fans are so unhappy and the media are so crazy about the fire, they can't affect the bald head who looks very uncomfortable.

After the draft, the kid had already slipped back to Las Vegas to hide.

In order to avoid being transferred to NBDL in the new season, Tacanian's training plan assigned to him must be completed step by step. Although the training intensity is not as brutal as the previous stage, it is not easy.

Chen Feng is as tired as a dead dog every day, so he doesn't have time to deal with those boring reporters.

There were no more sources of information, and the NBA's transfer waves began to hit people's sight one after another, so those criticisms gradually decreased, and everyone accepted their fate.

Transfers, deals, and news that appear every summer begins to fill the space without competition.

However, unlike those teams who are eager to replenish their strengths, the Celtics are not involved in rumors of large-scale deals.

The Celtics may also make some minor adjustments before the start of training camp, but there will never be any major moves, and the possibility of a major blood change has basically been ruled out.

Their personnel structure has almost been determined. Even if they want to have a large-scale player transaction, it will probably be next season.

Unless the Celtics now have the intention of storming the entire team and bringing everything back to zero.

However, there are not many big-name stars who can attract both Angie and Rivers, and it is not a good time to push down and rebuild.

Moreover, the team can't take out much chips now, so Pierce will definitely not be sent away. After all, that's the absolute core of the team.

As for others, they have some potential, but if they are used for exchange, I'm afraid not many people will exchange their good players with you any potential stocks.

This may be a very helpless thing, and it is precisely because of this that many Celtics supporters care so much about the team's decisions in the draft.

There was no good trading possibility, but now I have chosen such a master, how could the fans not protest?

According to reports from local Boston media, the Celtics are now preparing to make a living with such a lineup.

As for what they can get, only God knows, anyway, those media will never be optimistic about the prospects of this season.

"Maybe everything we start doing now is preparing for next season, that's all." This is a prediction given by the pessimistic media.

Even if it is a relatively optimistic estimate, I just think that the team still has a chance to enter the playoffs.

If such a result was a new NBA team like the Bobcats, they might have laughed secretly.

But the Celtics have sixteen championship titles on their heads and can only barely squeeze into the playoffs, which is simply an insult to the Bostonians' sense of honor.

The earth is moving, and a person cannot always be in a bad position.

But now it seems that the Celtic bad luck continues, or becomes worse.

Perhaps they can easily achieve worse results than last season with this lineup.

What people from the outside world think may be secondary. Paul Pierce, the core leader of the team, is also a little unhappy now.

The past three and a half months of vacations were a mess for Pierce.

Needless to say, the bad results of last season were only 33 wins, which may be the worst performance since Pierce joined the team.

Although his personal scores did not decline significantly, Pierce did not want others to think that he was just a scoring machine.

So what if you can win 30+ in every game? Pierce doesn't want to be like McGrath when he was with the Magic, he can get the scoring champion himself, but the team is so bad that it's too bad.

As a flag of the team, Pierce has always wanted to bring the Celtics to reshape the glorious era of the Celtics.

Unfortunately, Pierce has been in Boston for several years since entering the league in 1998. His best result is to lead the team to the Eastern Conference finals.

The result was just a failure. Most of the time, Pierce could only play in the first round of the playoffs.

When Walker, once known as one of the Celtic Gemini stars, also left his hometown, Pierce could only support the team forward with his own hands.

Only Pierce himself knows the hardships, and he will never save the team alone.

After all, Pierce is not the domineering guy like Joe Gang Master. Although he has been playing diligently, the team has never improved much, and the last two seasons have been even worse.

What annoyed Pierce the most may be that he accidentally said the plan to change the environment, although that was just what he said when he was nagging when he was familiar with the reporter.

But after the processing of those unscrupulous reporters, even a simple sentence can become huge waves.

"Pearce is ready to leave Boston!"

"Pearce is tired of failing all the time!"

"The New York Knicks have checked ready!"

"The Lakers' management claims to the outside world: they are interested in any outstanding player!"

Such news has almost become a hype topic throughout the summer. Even if Pierce chooses to travel abroad with his family, he has not escaped the harassment of those reporters.

In the eyes of those reporters, if this news can be confirmed, it will be the biggest news in the transfer market all summer, so they are like sharks smelling blood, staring at them.

Everyone wanted to hear a certain news from Pierce's mouth. Although Pierce had explained that this was just a misunderstanding, he had no intention of leaving.

But the reporters had long decided that he wanted to leave, and all the explanations were just excuses.

Such a storm has affected the team's senior management, and Angie and Rivers' comfort came forward to make Pierce feel even more depressed.

There are even rumors within the team that if he chooses to leave, the team may choose to trade him out in advance.

It was originally just a complaint after depression, but now it has turned into such a terrible situation. I guess someone would be angry.

Pierce didn't say that the things written in the reports were wrong. He was indeed very annoyed by the team's current situation. After Walker left, the team's performance began to decline.

If you can't find a suitable partner, the team will never be able to complete the reorganization and have always lacked competitiveness. Even if your data has always been very beautiful, it is just a brush in the eyes of others.

The most important thing is that Pierce is a person who is very eager to win honors. He is always inseparable from the championship and always has to accept failure.

This is a kind of mental torture for a player who wants to prove his abilities.

It was not that Pierce had thought of leaving. Such an idea did exist, but he just didn't want to get out in disgrace.

But after one bad season after another, Anji still didn't find a suitable helper for himself, and there is not even a guy with a bit of fame in the team now.

I finally got a Lafrenz, but I was still a disabled person. Now that guy has been sent away.

Ratliff, who was replaced, was just that, his data was mediocre and his ability was not very good.

All the team's actions throughout the summer were just two or three players, and they were basically substitutes, and the two rookies selected were not to mention.

One of them is the point guard. Although Pierce hasn't seen it, it will take at least two or three years for a qualified point guard to make a name for himself in the NBA.

Rajon Rondo, Pierce can't remember whether he had really seen this kid in the NCAA game, and he even doubted whether that kid had really played NCAA.

Most of the current defenders may even forget how to pass the ball, and they all think they are the next Iverson.

Holding the ball will rush to the basket and organize the attack? Beautiful pass? Forget it, those kids will only care about their own data.

As for the other one, Pierce has long been speechless.

Street players? Haven't even played a game of NCAA? When they saw the reports in the newspaper, Pierce really wanted to call Angie immediately.

He just wanted to ask what was going on. Has the team decided to play a bad season?

Just like the Spurs' bad results for a season to win Duncan?

But who knows whether the next person to Boston will be a person like Duncan? The No. 1 pick is not omnipotent.

Although many people say that after experiencing such a talent show, next year's talent show will be a star-studded scene.

Ohio State's big men Greg Oden, UT Durant, Mike Conley, and Horford have all spoken out to participate in next year's draft.

But Pierce really didn't know if he could hold on until that time, and he could no longer stand the harsh booing in the game.

When your home fans start to make noise and turn against you and the team, being the leader of the team is the greatest psychological pressure.

"Maybe leaving is also an option." Pierce's mind was like this on his way to the TD North Shore Garden Arena.

Although he was a little unwilling to give up, it was much better than continuing to play with it. Pierce knew that he was almost unable to afford it. He was almost thirty years old and had few years left in his peak period.

"If the results of this season are worse than last season..." Maybe it's to convince myself, or there is still a glimmer of hope for the new season.

Pierce finally cleared the confused thoughts in his mind before he finally arrived at his destination. No matter what, he is still the leader of the Celtics. If he gives up first, he won’t have to play this season’s game.

Although he has been avoiding the media pursuit for almost a month, Pierce still cannot avoid the opening day of the training camp.

Meetings between new and old players and media and fans are routine on the first day of each season. If anyone asks for leave, even Pierce will have to pay a fine of $30,000.

Even if you are late, you will be fined, not to mention absent from work, many of the NBA's rules are quite strict.

Maybe Pierce doesn't care about that little money, but in the face of the rumor that has been tangled up for almost three months, he always stood up and said something.

Even if he did that just to soothe the hearts of the fans, he is the absolute core and leader of the team.

However, Pierce still underestimated the media's encirclement of himself. When he drove outside the stadium, the reporters had already surrounded him.

Interview pens and various camera flashes have surrounded Pierce's car from all directions.

"Paul, is this season your last time in Boston again!?"

"Will you choose to leave this season or leave next season?"

"There is news that there has been a serious conflict between you and the team manager Angie. Is this the reason why you are leaving?"
To be continued...
