Another phenomenon accompanying the greatness of the Celtics dynasty is the increasing number of retired jerseys hanging over the TD North Shore Garden Arena, and the increasing number of Celtics players in the league's Hall of Fame.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Every great team must be created by many great players.
This is basically a law of the NBA.
To see which team is greater, actually, just look at how many retired jerseys are flying over their home court.
At this point, there is no doubt that even the Los Angeles Lakers, the purple and gold dynasty in the West, can only be inferior to the Celtics. Let alone the glorious Los Angeles Bulls in the Jordan era.
The Celtics have a total of 23 retired jersey numbers, including Bill Russell's No. 6, Kyle McHale's No. 32 and Larry Bird's No. 33.
Jersey.
As for Hall of Fame players, the Celtics have a total of 28.
This also proves the greatness of the Celtics to another extent.
Starting from eight consecutive championships, the Celtics wrote one of the most glorious legends in the NBA. The green of the Celtics jersey has also become one of the greatest colors in the NBA.
The Celtics are, without a doubt, the NBA, a legend of an era and a witness to glory.
It can be said that Chen Jie knows this team very well.
But in fact, in his heart, doesn't he have the intention to surpass the Celtics?
Could it be that what Auerbach could do back then could not be done by others?
Although this is not a great feat that can be accomplished by one generation, there must be someone who can pave the way for a dynasty, right?
Chen Jie, I just want to be this person!
Of course, it's too early to say all this now.
The miracle of eight consecutive championships and the legend of the Lord of the Rings cannot be surpassed so easily.
As the league becomes more and more competitive, it is already difficult to defend the title. How about creating a dynasty team?
Furthermore, the current Bulls are just a team working hard for the playoffs.
What Chen Jie should be thinking about most now is tomorrow's game against the Celtics.
Although the current Celtics cannot be compared with the peak period, there is no underdog in the league. Even the Hornets without Baron Davis can almost overturn the Bulls, let alone Paul Pierce.
What about the Celtics?
Underestimating the enemy is always the most undesirable thought.
You still need to prepare well for this game.
The defensive strategy against Paul Pierce has been formulated, but there are still many offensive strategies and many things that need to be done.
It can be said that the Bulls' training today was not easy.
However, the consolation is that Chen Jie does not need to expend too much physical energy, he can just listen to Scales' explanation.
This also ensures that before this very important game for Chen Jie, he can maintain the most abundant physical strength and the best condition.
The training ended at 5:30 in the afternoon. After the training, Chen Jie played a free throw game with Du Hong. The Bulls players started their betting again.
In the past, Chen Jie's victory over Du Hong was basically a certainty. However, with more such games, Du Hong's free throw shooting has also made great progress. Now, Du Hong can occasionally win a game or two.
For Du Hong, challenging Chen Jie and defeating Chen Jie is a wonderful thing.
The free throw game not only gave him this opportunity, but also allowed him to maintain a high level of free throw shooting in the game. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Du Hong still likes this game very much.
While the two were enjoying the free throw game, a group of Boston Celtics players who were also training before the game in Boston were walking out of the training ground.
As soon as Paul Pierce appeared, he was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters.
It can be said that for the current Celtics, Paul Pierce is their only news point.
Except for the local media in Boston, not many reporters paid attention to this once dynasty team.
In fact, even Paul Pierce usually does not attract so many reporters.
Today, the reason why the scene is so grand is entirely thanks to Chen Jie.
Now, although Chen Jie's strength is not enough to be called a first-class superstar in the league, he can only be said to be a very good scorer, but his influence is already extraordinary.
Nowadays, there is a rumor in the United States, not only in the sports world, but also in the entertainment world, that it is difficult for anyone to become famous if he has anything to do with Chen Jie.
Chen Jie is such a hot news figure in the United States today.
These reporters' interview with Paul Pierce is of course related to Chen Jie.
There will be a game between the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics tomorrow, and this game also involves a bet between Chen Jie and a group of well-known media people. Of course, the media also want to hear what the other party involved, Paul Pierce, means.
.
In the reporters' questions, Chen Jie used this game to bet. They said that Chen Jie was confident of winning and looked down on the Boston Celtics.
Of course, Paul Pierce will not be fooled by this. He is a player with high emotional intelligence.
Paul Pierce is very good at using a lot of official rhetoric to deal with the media.
The media's attempt to get some newsy words out of Pierce's mouth obviously failed.
However, they didn't know that when Paul Pierce returned home after being interviewed and taking a shower, he didn't rest immediately, but dug out a lot of news about Chen Jie.
This season, the two had played against each other once, and the Celtics were defeated that time. However, at that time, Chen Jie was not as famous as he is now.
Paul Pierce only knew Chen Jie as a very capable rookie at that time, that's all.
But obviously, now, Paul Pierce has changed his mind.
Waging a war of words with Shaq, feuding with the Heat, saying passionate words that the United Center cannot fall, spreading scandals with Jessica Alba, and competing with the media...
After reading these news about Chen Jie, Paul Pierce had a strange smile on his face.
Jay Sean, what kind of person are you?
Smart or stupid? Unruly or ignorant?
I am really becoming more and more interested in you.
Thinking of this, Paul Pierce took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
He really wanted to know more about Chen Jie.
He knew that the person on the other side of the phone would be able to give him a satisfactory answer! (To be continued...)
