"Hey! Darko?" There was a hoarse voice on the other end of the phone, and it was not difficult to hear the joy in the voice.
"I'm Paul, Paul Pierce, welcome to Boston..."
Although Pierce has a hoarse voice, he talks a lot. He and Milicic talked about everything from the history of the Celtics to his own three-point shooting, from Boston cuisine to the latest inventions made by Harvard University, spanning five thousand years.
What I am saying is that the charges in the communications industry in the United States are relatively low. If you change to another country, even people with an annual income of millions will still be in pain.
Milicic can finally leave the city of Pistons. During this time here, Dumars, Rasheed and Billups have taken good care of him. During the preseason, he, Prince and Delfino,
Dixon, Parker and others also got along very well. On the day Milicic left, the boss Davidson made an exception and held a farewell ceremony, which was well done. On the other hand, he did not want to
Let Milicic go, then Larry Brown should know that he has indulged him, should know how to advance and retreat, and should not continue to seize power in the team.
Teammates gave full blessings, and Milicic received many congratulatory calls in the past few days, including James, Anthony, Wade, Duncan, Iverson, Radmanovic, Kostic, Pa.
Flovic and others, and even Bodiloga and others in Europe also expressed their blessings. Milicic thought to himself how much everyone resented Brown. He left him as if everyone was celebrating the New Year. Among them,
Anthony and Wade emphatically expressed their gratitude to him, thanking Milicic for blocking Brown's knife for them.
Milicic and his agent Mark rushed to Boston together. As soon as they got off the plane, they were taken to a special car. The two people who came to pick them up were team manager Angie and team boss Pierce. Pierce looked at the 2.16-meter tall man.
He excitedly said to Anji: "I have watched his Olympic games, and he is the big man I have always wanted."
Angie and Pierce took Milicic and Mark directly to the TD North Shore Garden Arena, the home of the Boston Celtics. The TD North Shore Garden Arena is not as luxurious as other arenas, or how high-tech it looks.
It is old, outdated, and even a little outdated, but it is solemn and heavy, like an elder, and you must take off your hat to him.
Like all NBA arenas, the VIP boxes at TD North Shore Garden Arena occupy an independent floor. This is a closed annular area that is separated from the ordinary stands and requires a separate pass to enter. The side of this area facing the court is
On the other side of the independent VIP box, there are no common bars or fast food restaurants, but it is designed as a museum.
The unique circular promenade has become the biggest feature of this museum. Under some dim lights, bits and pieces of Celtics history stretch and turn under your feet and around you, as if history is advancing under your feet.
Above your head, the words "CELTICSPRIDE" are constantly reminding you that where you are is the most proud place of this city and the greatest glory of this city.
16 championship trophies, as well as the names of jerseys hanging above the court: Parish, Auerbach, Havlicek, McHale, Larry Bird... This place is simply like a collection of honors, Angie and Pierce proudly introduced
All this, this is a team with a tradition of winning championships. Its heritage is far from comparable to that of the Detroit Pistons. No matter how many ups and downs it has, it will become a strong team sooner or later. When Milicic comes here, he feels like he wants to integrate here.
, a passion inspired Milicic, telling him to try his best to win. This is the tradition of the Celtics, and only in this way can the name of the Celtics not be dishonored.
Angie patted the shoulders of Pierce and Milicic with emotion in the stands and said: "Soon my jersey will be retired here. I hope that when you retire, you will also be qualified to keep your jersey here forever."
.Get the seventeenth championship back! It may take one year, two years, three years...but as long as you have a championship heart, the seventeenth championship will definitely come from your hands."
What can be given here is the supreme honor that Detroiters may not be able to give in their lifetime. The grassroots championship can only be achieved occasionally. A real dynasty needs this team to have the temperament of a king.
Even Mark, who came with Soy Sauce, couldn't help but be moved by this situation. He quickly wrote it down in his mind. Next time he talks to the players, he can bring him to the arena to have a look. This will definitely increase the success rate.
Milicic also underwent a physical examination and physical examination by the Celtics on the same day. The Asian physical trainer Dong (DOO in English, probably of Korean descent, who often makes hilarious appearances, friends who often watch the NBA must know him) saw Milicic.
After Xic's physical fitness test data, he asked Milicic: "Are you sure what you just said is true? When you were a child, you trained by yourself, and there were times when you didn't have enough to eat?"
Milicic looked at this happy little guy and said in Chinese: "Are you Chinese?"
"No...not...purely Korean, but...can speak Chinese, and Chinese food is delicious..."
"Okay, then I can only praise that the kimchi is also delicious." Milicic continued to speak in English.
At the press conference the next day, Ainge attended with Pierce and Milicic and officially announced that Milicic became a member of the Celtics. Since the Celtics' No. 31 jersey has been retired with Maxwell
, the Celtics retired too many jerseys, and the slightly better ones are still used by current players. Milicic could only choose No. 99. After Milicic appeared with the No. 99 jersey, he remembered the time when the Celtics
Nate once said: "I came here just to help Paul win the championship." Although this sentence is arrogant, it is very suitable for Angie, Pierce and the people of Boston. Milicic also quickly climbed to the top.
The cover of the "Boston Globe" read: Milicic promises to win Boston's 17th championship trophy.
Boston's urban influence is different from that of cities such as Detroit and Cleveland, and it once again aroused controversy.
Milicic left, but he couldn't take away Detroit's championship trophy. He was simply dreaming. How much did he drink in the nightclub in Boston the night before?
--Detroit player Ben Wallace
Darko has the ability to win the championship, but he will definitely come after me. I will definitely be the first to win the championship in the 2003 generation.
--LeBron James
I like this kid very much and I'm waiting for him in the finals!
——Kevin Garnett
These people are all arguing over the championship, but Duncan, the real championship winner in history, is still training on the court with a blank look on his face, and secretly curses these people as mentally ill.
