Chapter 68 Jones’ old man-grinding tactics!

During the Huskies' game against Boston University, Jeff Brown's comeback, Lu Feng stopped by to watch the game.

Lu Feng and Bird were seated next to each other. In addition to the two of them, an unexpected person also came to the scene, the founder of the Celtics, Cardinal Auerbach!

Auerbach's full name is Arnold Jacob Reed Auerbach. Although Auerbach is called a cardinal, he actually does not often wear red clothes. This nickname comes from the Reed in his name.

(Red, translated as "red").

Auerbach is most famous for his iconic "victory cigar" in addition to the fact that he single-handedly built the Celtics into a giant.

When Auerbach was still the head coach, every time the team won, he would light a cigar and hold it between his lips.

Cigars were his favorite, and Auerbach, who came to watch the game, also had a lit cigar in his mouth. Lu Feng was a distance away from him, and he could still smell the pine scent of the lit cigar.

"Jeff is a good kid. Luck, you were roommates with him, right? What do you think of him?"

Before Lu Feng could think of how to greet Auerbach, the other party asked him a question.

"Jeff...well, he's not bad, but his temper is a bit weird."

Auerbach smiled and said: "I like guys with weird tempers. Russell is like that, and Larry is like that. Larry, this kid is a lot like you, isn't it?"

Bird curled his lips and said, "I don't think so. At least I won't be like a barbarian and knock people out on the basketball court."

Lu Feng was speechless for a moment. As a friend of Jeff Brown, he must speak for him. Lu Feng looked at Bird, smiled and said: "Larry, are you sure it's not just because you can't beat him?"

What is Larry Bird most famous for? It’s trash talking! What’s his second most famous thing? It’s getting beat up!

As one of the most successful NBA stars in the 1980s and 1990s, Larry Bird was beaten countless times because of his various clever language skills. Even a well-known good guy like Dr. J once beat him up.

In the 1980s and 1990s, if you had never played against Bird, you would be embarrassed to say that you were a star!

Larry Bird glared at Lu Feng and said, "Boy, I hope your basketball skills can be as good as your mouth in tomorrow's game."

This was the first time the two of them talked to each other. Now that they have entered the NBA, as an opponent, Lu Feng showed no sign of weakness and continued: "Russell and Jones told me that they all don't like you. You have never won a fight. Let Kai

All the Ertes have been disgraced."

Larry Bird: “…”

Auerbach looked at the two and smiled, then asked Lu Feng: "Lark, is that kid really not planning to participate in the draft this year?"

Lu Feng was stunned. Hearing what Auerbach meant, did the Celtics intend to acquire Jeff Brown?

However... after the Celtics entered the 1980s, they were notoriously unlucky, and the rookies they selected had problems one after another.

Len Bias, the second overall pick in 1986, died of an overdose of contraband at home the day after the draft. Reggie Lewis, the non-lottery pick in 1987, finally made it but died suddenly of a heart attack.

On the training ground.

Lu Feng recalled what Jeff Brown said when he asked him...

"My favorite team is of course the Celtics! Lakers? Are there people who like this trash team?"

Lu Feng thought for a while and decided to answer the other party.

"Jeff plans to enter the draft after college. If nothing else happens, it will be in the 1993 class."

Jeff Brown is a bad guy, and Lu Feng believes that he will live a long life.

In the end, Jeff Brown successfully led the team to defeat Boston University in his comeback game, ending the Huskies' two-game losing streak.

The next day, the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Boston Celtics was held as scheduled at the Boston Garden Arena.

At this time, the North Shore Garden Arena had not yet been built, and the Celtics' home arena was still the classic North Shore Garden Arena. The facilities in the arena were outdated and extremely hot.

Although the experience of watching the game in the home arena was terrible, it still could not stop the enthusiastic Celtics fans from coming to watch the game. As soon as the SuperSonics entered the stadium, they were greeted by countless boos and abuses.

All kinds of discriminatory and insulting words rushed into the ears of the Sonics players, and deafening noises and waves of heat slapped the players' faces.

"Yellow-skinned monkey, go back to your country, you are not welcome here!"

"Seattle wimps, welcome to Boston Hell, get ready for torture!"

"Shit, Brother Ni, there are still a few people left in Uncle Jason's orchard. Come back with me after the game!"

…

All kinds of unpleasant yells from Celtics fans failed to affect the mentality of the Sonics players. It's not like they had never been to Boston to play away games, so they had already expected this.

Celtic fans are notoriously low-quality. They even criticize their own players, let alone the away team's players.

There are several different styles of Devils away games in the NBA.

There is a home court like the Lakers, where the championship flag is flying in the air and the away players will shudder as soon as they enter the court.

There are also devilish home stadiums like Denver, which are formed due to environmental conditions.

There are also games like the Jazz and Pistons, which have outrageous home whistles and double-standard home games.

The most devilish home stadiums are those with fanatical fans that use emotional release to put pressure on away teams.

The Celtics' home court has all three. Needless to say, the championship flag is the symbol of glory of the Celtics dynasty. Retired jerseys and championship flags are flying over the Boston Garden Arena.

At this time, the Celtics' home whistle can definitely be compared with the Lakers, Jazz, and Pistons.

As for the environment...

Not to mention the sweltering heat in the Boston Garden, there are countless bizarre stories about the Celtics' away games.

The hotel fire alarm went off in the middle of the night, the away locker room had no air conditioning or water, and there were dead snakes, rats, and bugs in the away closet...

Fortunately, in the 1990s, the Celtics were no longer as outrageous as before, and they had a relatively quiet night at supersonic speed.

However, before the game started, Lu Feng had one more thing to do, and that was to check the floor. The Celtics' home court had repeatedly replaced certain or several floors near the midfield with non-elastic ones.

On the floor, the basketball did not bounce normally when the away player dribbled the ball, allowing the Celtics to take the opportunity to steal it.

What Lu Feng had to do was to check the floor first and step on every position.

"Lark, what are you doing? It's 1990 now. You don't think we will still use that old-fashioned thing, do you?"

Bird saw Lu Feng checking the floor, walked over and said unhappily.

However, even if Bird said this, Lu Feng did not stop his movements. After trying a few times, he stepped on a soft floor. He raised his head and looked at Bird with strange eyes.

Bird blushed, and then said: "Damn it, Hans came here yesterday, I knew it would be like this. He has obviously retired for several years..."

Bird kept mumbling and turned his head back with dignity.

Lu Feng: "..."

After checking around, Lu Feng found three non-elastic floors. As expected of the Celtics, everything about them was so old-school.

After Lu Feng told his teammates the position on the floor and said a few words, the game was about to begin.

The Celtics' starting five are: Kevin Jamber (PG), Brian Shaw (SG), Ray Jay Lewis (SF), Larry Bird (PF), Robert Pablo

Rishi(C).

For the SuperSonics, all starters will start the game. In the first two games, the SuperSonics rested two players, and the game against the Celtics was separated by one day. There will be no problem if all players play.

Polynis easily won the jump ball for the Sonics, which is normal. After all, Robert Parrish is 37 years old and one of the oldest players in the league.

Do you think he has reached the end of his career?

No, no, no, Robert Parrish will tell you with his actions that he can still play. In the future, Robert Parrish will continue to play until 1997 and until he is 43 years old. If he persists for a few more months,

He can even play until he is 44 years old!

When Lu Feng got the ball, he accelerated and sprinted without thinking. The Celtics' six main players were divided into 3 old and 3 young. The old ones were very old and the young ones were very young. Although they played in a long rotation, the main 6 players

Everyone has to play for more than 30 minutes.

Most of the Sonics are young people. Sam Perkins and Harper, the oldest in the starting lineup, are both under 30 years old, and they are at their peak in basketball.

The point guard guarding Lu Feng, Kevin Jamber, is a Payton-style point guard with a greatly reduced wingspan.

Payton could also use his long arms to stop Lu Feng from breaking through, but Kevin Jamber couldn't do it at all. Lu Feng just changed his direction and passed him in one step.

After passing Kevin Jamber, Reggie Lewis on the side quickly approached Lu Feng. Reggie Lewis was nearly two meters tall, but he ran inexplicably fast.

But no matter how fast it was, it was useless. Lu Feng directly passed the ball to Kemp, who was also running very fast. The Celtic penalty area was empty. Kemp turned around and jumped up, folding 180° with his back!

Kemp's back dunk silenced the Celtics' home court for a moment. Celtic fans were deeply ashamed of this, and then they responded with even more disgusting insults.

"You ugly guy who didn't have a father, I'll fuck you"

"Fuck, damn nigger, don't be too arrogant..."

"Brother Ni, how long has it been since you took a shower? I can smell your stink in the stands..."

Lu Feng was slightly speechless. Those black Celtics players behave like this every time they play at home. Can they stand it?

The Celtics do have a lot of white players, but they are definitely not many. As Lu Feng knew, the Warriors have many more white players than the Celtics.

Lu Feng looked at Kemp. He didn't have any frustration on his face. On the contrary, he was very happy. He breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that Kemp had a bad mind and was easy to get into trouble.

On the court, he doesn't care about things outside the court.
