Chapter 158 Pre-Match Declaration of Fated Showdown

The Lakers won the longest winning streak in several seasons, but there was no joy on the faces of Wharton and Jiang Dashan.

Walton knows that the next four away games will be difficult.Especially the first game against the thriving Celtics.

The Celtics first lobbied from the old core Thomas Jr. to win Gordon Hayward to strengthen the lineup. Angie almost replaced all the playoff lineup of last season; near the end of the summer, the Celtics used Thomas Jr., Crowder, Zizic and two first-round picks in exchange for Irving, truly completing the team's core lineup.

The Celtics can be described as a big winner. In the last three levels, they achieved an amazing result of No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, and then got Tatum.Now the Celtics have a star who is deadly enough.

Although the Celtics' deal for Thomas Jr. has been criticized by people, they don't bother to love Angie's small calculation.With money in hand, draft picks, and a group of young players!The strength of the team has also improved.

However, the deal between the Celtics and the Cavaliers will still leave troubles behind.Thomas Jr. once lost his sister during the game. Although the first two games were affected, Thomas Jr. and the starters of the previous generation made concerted efforts to go down 4 cities and enter the second round.Even though his front teeth were knocked out by his opponent, Thomas Jr. still fought hard on the court.Such a desperate player was ruthlessly traded just because of his size and hip injury!This will also make other Celtics players feel insecure.

However, the Celtics' current performance is good, with 9 wins and 7 losses in the first 2 games.However, under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers are bound to snipe the Celtics and teach their younger brother who betrayed him.

And now, the Lakers led by Jiang Dashan are challenging the Celtics away.Who is Jiang Dashan?After signing with the Cavaliers, he was waived because of a disagreement with Irving, and now he is shining in the Lakers.Even if the two of them were fine, with the help of the media, this game was crowned as a battle between Jiang Dashan and Owen.The winner will rectify his name!The loser will face the pressure of public opinion.

Last season, the Celtics built a team around Thomas Jr., who can run and shoot, and gathered 4 big and tall men who can run and shoot.Now the core of the Celtics is Irving and Hayward, as well as the insider Horford.Obviously, the Celtics, who used to have an overall style, have now moved more towards singles.It can be seen from the previous games that Irving's style is still singles, and he has not changed anything.The only change is that he is the one attacking with the ball, not James.

Can the Celtics beat the Cavaliers?I'm afraid only Irving and James are clear.

The battle is imminent, and various domestic media and fans have already started various discussions.

For example, Zhao Jin's article on the China Sports Daily: Chinese Jiang vs. Celtic Owen, the collision of swords!Zhao Jin is the number one fan of Jiang Dashan among the reporters, but this article is still from an objective point of view. The content is probably that the Lakers will basically lose to the Celtics. After all, the Celtics are much stronger on paper. Three All-Stars, Irving, Hayward and Horford.And Irving has reached the finals 3 times in a row and has a lot of experience.So in terms of strength, the Celtics are crushing the Lakers; but in terms of matchups, Jiang Dashan and Irving have their own strengths.Zhao Jin's meaning is very clear. Jiang Dashan's offensive power is not much worse than Owen's, and he has a stronger defensive awareness. Jiang Dashan will beat Owen in the matchup.

But domestic fans don't think so. This time, Lakers fans and Celtics fans have the same idea, that is, the Lakers will take down the Celtics.Why?Just because the Celtics' trade caused public outrage, and Jiang Dashan was in the Lakers at the same time!Many Kai fans directly became Humi!Who told me that Jiang is Chinese?Do not support who you support!

There was an interesting scene in the United States. The Los Angeles media unanimously looked down on the Lakers. After all, modesty is a virtue in society.But other media are advocating that the Lakers can beat the Celtics, hehe, that's how it came about, as long as the Lakers' 7-game winning streak ends, the Lakers will usher in waves of saliva.

But during this time period, the Lakers players can no longer take care of too much.

The game is about to start, and the Lakers players feel the pressure for the first time. After all, they are about to face the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. In the past, it didn't matter if they won or lost, but now the Lakers are on the momentum. Everyone wants to continue to win the game. This kind of pressure is invisible.

Walton and Xiao were also worried that the players would be overwhelmed psychologically and would be overwhelmed by this pressure. They walked towards the locker room one after the other, but when they came to the door, Walton raised his hand that was about to knock on the door, and immediately put it down again. Just as Shaw was about to ask, Walton made a gesture not to speak.

The two watched everything that happened in the locker room through the ventilation window on the locker room door.

Brewer and Deng were standing next to the first row of lockers in front of the locker room door. This is the place with the best view of the locker room. All the Lakers players gathered in the middle, either standing or sitting.

"Is everyone nervous?" Brewer asked.

"Very nervous. After all, it is the Celtics! There are three-point All-Stars there!" Ingram spoke on behalf of him.

"Yes, I'm nervous too. After all, it's the Celtics." Luol Deng continued, "I can understand you, and I'm the same, you won 7 consecutive victories, yes, it's you, after all, my ass still hurts!" Deng pointed to his ass, which made his teammates laugh, "We are under pressure, because the 7-game winning streak is likely to be ended; at the same time, we are eager to win. It's just so entangled, so squeezed in the middle. But, I think, I don't want to say anything more now, I think there is another person who is more qualified to say those words."

"Who?" Everyone asked.

"J! Don't you say a few words?" Pope patted Jiang Dashan's shoulder at this time, and everyone realized that the Cavaliers' abandoned general was cut because of Irving.Although the media did not say it clearly, everyone knows it well.

Jiang Dashan shook his head helplessly, and then stood up. After all, everyone is looking at him now, so he can't say anything.

"Okay, let me say a few words." Jiang Dashan tried his best to calm his tone, "I joined the Cavaliers last year, and I performed well after that. Irving was injured, and I could almost take his place. But I was impatient. The Cavaliers thought I was not worth as much as Irving, so they let me go. I believe, they must regret it now!"

The teammates laughed again, "That's right, you've scored 82 points! You've only played a few games! Irving has played for 6 seasons, and his highest score is only 57 points, just..." Everyone fell silent again.

"Yes, 57 points. Is it a lot? I don't think it is much. I have scored at least 82 points. I think I should be able to get 100 points if I work hard!" Jiang Dashan glanced at his teammates, most of them looked unconfident.

"Do you guys think it's impossible? If I played all the shots in the fourth quarter of that game, I should be able to hit a few more goals. But it's useless to say anything now. It's over, it's over. What I want to say now is." Jiang Dashan cleared his throat, and his teammates waited nervously for Jiang Dashan's speech.

"I have lost it before, so I cherish the current me even more. I know what to do and what not to do; how to work hard and how to restrain myself. I can be fouled by people on the court without getting angry and called a softie, because I know that defeating opponents is the best way to show my strength. But it does not mean that I can be insulted wantonly! Are you willing to be trampled underfoot all the time? I don't want to! After scoring 82 points, someone will stand up to refute that Jiang Dashan was squeezed out of the team by Irving and will never be able to beat Irving. How ridiculous! I am nervous, apprehensive, and at the same time I feel powerless! But this is not an excuse for me to choose to give up! I am angry because I will face my enemy soon; I am full of fighting spirit because my enemy is stronger than me; Our enemy is stronger than us! But aren’t we stronger? We defeated the mighty Wizards! We defeated the Raptors! We defeated the Clippers! We will enter the playoffs, we will face the Spurs, the Rockets, the Warriors, and even the Cavaliers in the East! We can’t be afraid now! Because our goal is there, at the pinnacle of the NBA! Facing the thorns, we are the sharp blades, sticking every thorn that tries to block our way! Facing the sea of ​​fire, we are the scourge, extinguish any dare Challenge our flames! The Lakers will win!"

"The Lakers must win!"
