"It's so noisy, what's the point of making such noise?" Some 76ers players who were annoyed by the noise in the locker room complained.
"Quiet, what's there to say now? If you can't accept this, just decide to go home as soon as possible." After more than a month of running-in, Landry, as the oldest veteran of the team, naturally took over the dressing.
The scepter of the room manager.
Boston's North Shore Garden is one of the noisiest arenas in the NBA. Since it was the season opener, the noise from the 18,624 spectators was louder and more intense than before.
Although the results of the Celtics and 76ers last season were not ideal, ESPN still sent a broadcast team to Boston for live broadcast.
"Mike, do you know about the Twitter war a month ago?" After the opening, Reggie Miller brought out the top priority of the game.
"I knew you would ask, and I made a point of knowing it before I came here." Knowing that Reggie Miller would ask himself, Mike Breen did his homework.

Let's go back to a month ago
After the training match, Yang returned to the locker room. Looking at the content on Twitter, he, who had always been good-tempered, suddenly became furious.
Isaiah Thomas:
Journalists, why don't you come to Boston, which has the best players in the league, instead of going to Philadelphia.
Isn’t there just a rookie there who hasn’t even proven himself? (Taken from Yang’s Twitter) What’s so interesting about him? Can’t you come and interview me?
Since you can't see my excellence, I will beat the so-called No. 1 pick in the first regular season until he has no shame to stay on the court.
"I know." Just as he was about to reply something, BJ Armstrong called over there.
"I have seized the Twitter loophole and am preparing to have the league sanction his remarks."
"Look, I've left all this kind of stuff to you." Yang calmed down and decided to let professionals handle it.
…………
…………
"For the spotlight, I lost 25,000 dollars and had to be scolded by the people of Philadelphia. Isaiah Thomas Jr. is so naive.
"It can only be said that he only knows how to do things but not how to be a person, but he cannot be so bad as a person. The future is worrying, and the future is worrying."
"Oh, interesting starting lineup, Brown actually uses Young like this" ended the Twitter topic a month ago, and the starting lineups of the two teams were announced.
Boston Celtics: g: Isaiah Thomas, sg: Avery Bradley, sf: Crowder, f: David Lee, c: Tyler Zeller
Philadelphia 76ers: g: Young, sg: E'Twaun Moore, sf: Robert Covington, f: Jerami Grant, c: Noel

During the entrance ceremony, he received a round of boos from all Boston fans.
The 76ers' first game of the 2015-2016 season begins.
Facing the matchbox bouncing Tyler Zeller, Noel accurately hit the ball to Young's position.
"Shhh"
Listening to the boos from the audience, Yang got the ball and started running at full speed without delaying even half a second.
"Stop him." The first line of defense was dismantled in one step, forcing Coach Stevens to quickly warn Bradley who was at the end.
It's Young's burst and speed that's too fast
Or was Stevens’ reminder too slow?
In the blink of an eye, the sound of a dunk resounded over the North Shore Garden Center.
1,2,3
The whole place was completely silent. After three seconds of silence,
"Shhh"
The Boston fans booed even more violently.
In the first offensive possession of the Celtics, Young understood the reason why Isaiah Thomas has not grown up: the four people on the court are all serving him alone.
"You are so favored by the stars, they are so kind to you! Don't forget to treat them to a meal after the fight. You must remember to be grateful." As Yang forced his way through a single screen again
, Thomas Jr. still hasn’t gotten rid of Young’s long arms.
"You hairless rookie, please be quiet, I won't allow you to talk."
"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, some people will still say it, and one day some people will be dissatisfied." As he spoke, Yang's right hand, which had been hidden in an inconspicuous place, struck out decisively and swiftly like an eagle hunting prey in the sky.
"Pa" kills the ball with one hit. Young cleanly slapped the ball out of Thomas' hand.
"Little Thomas was careless, he didn't expect that Young's hands could snatch such a low dribble.
"Great opportunity to counterattack, Boston's basket is currently in full view."
"Hey, he didn't choose to dunk. Oh, it turned out to be a three-step layup starting from the three-point line."
When no one could catch up, Young showed Boston fans a three-step fast break layup from the three-point line.
The Boston fans who "booed" the calf seemed to have no other weapons besides booing.
Since Young's ball-handling pressure could not be solved, Stevens signaled Isaiah Thomas to give up the ball and run off the ball to see if he could use multiple screens to get rid of Young's entanglement.
…………
…………
l cut it, didn’t throw it away
v cut, not thrown away.
He ran to the bottom line and didn't get rid of it.
When Thomas spent 15 seconds and countless screen resources but could not break away from Young's pursuit, he finally became anxious.
"You'd better run harder and faster!" Seeing his anxiety, Yang decided to light another fire.
"You wait." Unwilling to be humiliated, Thomas increased his speed and drilled again.
"Avery" ran for another 3 seconds, and Thomas finally found a better opportunity.
"That's a trap, give it to David." Just when Bradley was about to pass the ball to Thomas, a reminder sounded like thunder in Bradley's ears.
Bradley, who prioritized reaction, quickly changed the angle of the ball and passed the ball to David Lee.
“It’s actually getting noticed, it’s really getting more and more interesting.”
Weight played a decisive role at this time. Facing David Lee's inside position, Jerami Grant had no other choice but to watch the singles succeed.
4:2
"Tactics No. 1."
Due to the poor composition of the team, the 76ers did not practice a few tactics in a month.
But the No. 1 tactic is what they are most skilled at.
As Young signaled, Noel's screen came in time, but the quality of his screen was really unsatisfactory and he didn't block Bradley for long at all.
Since Noel had no long-range shot threat and encountered Covington's screen at the same time, the Celtics' frame-protecting center Tyler Zeller did not follow up but chose to stay near the three-second zone to deal with Young's breakthrough threat.
.
There is interception in front and pursuit behind
Yang, who was not panicked at all, suddenly stopped moving forward after seeing the black shadow flash by, turned around and threw the ball back to the top of the arc.
"Shua"
Even if Bradley reacted and turned around to pounce on Covington, the full second of space made the pounce meaningless.
Chapter completed!
