The reason why Paul Pierce was sure that the person on the other side of the phone could give him a satisfactory answer was actually because of the news about Chen Jie he had just seen.
Before, although the incident was so public, Pierce really didn't know that this man and Chen Jie really knew each other and had a close relationship, and thought it was just a rumor from the media.
However, now it seems that the relationship between the two people is really good. The so-called rumors may not be grounded, and Pierce now believes it.
After making this call, Paul Pierce really got the answer he wanted.
A super rookie, a person who is very humorous and even a bit rogue in life, a person who is very stubborn in the game and will never give up at all costs to win.
Well, yes, he is a good opponent.
Paul Pierce finally gave Chen Jie such an evaluation.
However, although the opponent is good, now Paul Pierce also knows that it is probably impossible for him to have a hearty battle with Chen Jie.
It's not because Paul Pierce doesn't want to try his best to play the game, it's just the current situation of the Celtics.
Outsiders only see the Celtics' loose tactics and poor record, but who knows that there are also big problems within the Celtics?
As an opponent of the Celtics and a die-hard Celtics fan, Paul Pierce naturally hopes that the Celtics can regain their past glory. Every time he plays a game at TD North Shore Garden, he will look up at the ceiling.
Look at the great names and the dozens of championship banners.
He really wanted to have his jersey hang there one day. He really wanted to have one more championship banner hanging there for the Celtics with his own hands.
But now, at least now, his ideal seems a bit out of reach.
Among the Celtics players, except for a handful of them including Paul Pierce, there were simply not many who wanted to play the game.
Everyone regards the game as a job, as something to deal with, as something to get through with a salary.
In this situation, no matter how great Pierce is, how can one person revive the entire team?
To be honest, when he was being interviewed by the media this afternoon and heard that Chen Jie was making a bet with the media on the outcome of this game, he felt really not angry at all, but just disappointed.
When did the greatest team in the league, the Celtics, sink to this point?
When was it that I couldn't have a good and enjoyable game with a player even if I wanted to?
Paul Pierce knew it clearly. Chen Jie was not exaggerating. The Bulls are in good shape now and are in full swing. Although two main players are suspended, in the home game, as long as they perform normally, they can defeat the Celtics.
It's still very simple.
It can even be said to be very easy.
Under such circumstances, even if you try your best, how can you turn the tide?
In the face of the absolute comparison of strength, how could he have a hearty battle with Chen Jie?
This kind of matchup usually occurs between two teams of similar strength.
Just like not long ago, the duel between the Cleveland Cavaliers' little emperor LeBron James and the Denver Nuggets' Melo Anthony, just like the recent showdown between the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant and the Philadelphia 76ers' Allen?
Iverson's duel is like the duel between Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat and Jay Shawn of the Chicago Bulls.
Only when two teams are of a similar level and each other's star players can truly compete without reservation.
Otherwise, if the game enters garbage time early, or there is no suspense at all, who will play desperately?
Paul Pierce was helpless.
He feels that the current Boston Celtics have completely buried him, leaving him unable to use what he has learned.
However, he has no intention of leaving, and his loyalty to the Celtics is still very firm.
Although loyalty is less and less valuable in today's commercial league, Paul Pierce has this spirit in his heart.
Even if the Celtics really fail to recover, Paul Pierce will only put pressure on the management and will not choose to leave.
This is the pride of a superstar.
What's more, Paul Pierce also firmly believes that one day, he can lead the Boston Celtics to regain their glory and stand at the top of the league.
For this goal, he is willing to do his best.
The dormancy now is just for a better outbreak in the future.
Paul Pierce believes this.
As for tomorrow, facing the Chicago Bulls.
Jay Sean, let me see how much strength you, a super rookie, have.
Even if there is no hope, Paul Pierce will not give up the game!
Because he is Paul Pierce, and he is a proud warrior!
Always!
When he was a child, his home suffered a fire, and he had to stay with his mother and siblings at a relative's house. His mother encouraged him: people should not complain about life, but should be brave enough to change their lives.
When he was a freshman in high school, he was kicked off the team by the school team coach because of his obesity.
When he was a sophomore in high school, the team's main player at the same position was injured, so he came on as a substitute. So, when the main player returned from injury, he became a substitute. While losing weight, his height began to increase dramatically.
He was already popular in the United States during his senior year of high school. He said: "I owe all this to my mother. It was her encouragement that allowed me to persevere."
He was selected for the McDonald's All-American High School Star Game and scored a game-high 28 points in the game. However, the most valuable "Wooden Award" was awarded to another high school student named Garnett, John?
Wooden said: "I want to see how a 2.11-meter big man can play basketball to the extreme."
He lost to a man named Vince Carter in the dunk contest the next day.
He entered the University of Kansas and went 31-1 in the regular season in his first year. However, he played in the NCAA for three years but never won the NCAA championship. So he was preparing to participate in the NBA draft.
He was predicted to be in the top three before the draft, and he also refused trial invitations from all teams except the top three. But on the day of the draft, he didn't hear his name called until the tenth-place Celtics team.
His distorted face became a special sight in the draft. He said: I will make the first nine teams that did not select me regret.
He had just joined the NBA and encountered labor disputes before he even started playing. The entire league went on strike, and he had no choice but to practice in the gym every day.
He went to a nightclub one night and accidentally struck up a conversation with the sister of a boss, so he was hit in the head with a bottle, and then stabbed 11 times. One of the stabs was only 0.025 centimeters away from the heart. When his family rushed to the hospital
At that time, the doctor issued a critical illness notice to them. He stubbornly survived the critical period and returned to the competition.
He hopes to create a new Celtic dynasty that does not belong to bird or russell. However, the so-called lonely boat drifts on the sea, and the young and old are all in the world.
He played in a hurry for 9 seasons. During these 9 years, his teammates changed like a revolving door. The team's performance never improved, and even went from bad to worse.
He would often sit on the bench in the fourth quarter, trailing by more than 20 points on the scoreboard, and watch expressionlessly as his young teammates on the court were abused by their opponents.
None of this made Paul Pierce think about giving up, let alone now, just facing a menacing Chicago Bulls team?
His name is Paul Pierce, and he's a fighter.
A helpless warrior who will always fight for Boston? Celtics!
And just when Paul Pierce was helpless and might not be able to have a hearty battle with Chen Jie, but he was still determined to do his best to meet tomorrow's game, the person who just received his call, the woman, was deep in thought.
With.
Her name is Jessica Alba.
Yes, it is the woman with whom Chen Jie has been rumored some time ago.
She once went to Boston to participate in a program, and met Paul Pierce and became friends from then on. She likes basketball, so she has a good relationship with many stars in the basketball world. Paul Pierce was one of them.
When Pierce wanted to get to know Chen Jie, and then happened to see that Chen Jie and Jessica Alba were rumored to be having a scandal and co-produced a couple's mobile phone commercial, he immediately thought of Jessica Alba.
.
From Jessica Alba's mouth, Paul Pierce got a satisfactory answer.
However, he did not expect that just such a phone call would make Jessica Alba's calm heart once again stir.
Jay Sean, what kind of person are you? Why are so many superstars who have been famous for a long time interested in you in such a short time after you entered the league?
Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, LeBron James...or, you can also add Shaquille O'Neal who is your enemy.
You, as a rookie, have touched the hearts of many people in the league.
What kind of magic power do you have?
What magic power do you have that makes me, Jessica Alba, fall in love with you?
God, what kind of magic do you have?
How long have I known you and how many times have I met you?
Why did I give you my first time in such a short time?
The most important thing is, why do I not regret it until now?
Why am I still thinking about you now?
Could it be that I really fell in love with you?
Almighty Lord, can you tell me, have I really fallen in love with this man from the East?
Shaking her head, Jessica Alba's mind at the moment was already full of Chen Jie's shadow.
Tomorrow, tomorrow at the latest, I can see you again.
