Chapter 129 A group of old clappers(1/2)
Who is Auerbach? A fierce old man who will even tremble in his heart when he coughs.
This old guy is closely entangled with the history of the first fifty years of NBA. Even though a lot of people don’t like him at all, they cannot deny the fact that this old guy exists.
Whoever dares to erase Auerbach's contribution to the NBA is probably planning to erase the first fifty years of NBA. It is impossible to separate the history of NBA and Auerbach. No matter who is in charge of NBA in the future, it is good that Auerbach, the existence of this great cardinal.
Just like Jackson's champion coach, he has to show respect when he meets Auerbach. After all, when that old guy exists, Jackson is just a second-rate player.
NBA means Auerbach, at least in the first fifty years, this is the fact, and that guy is still an old bandit who is used to winning.
This old man is a living history book, which records everything from the prehistoric times to the prosperous times.
Don’t forget that the NBA only began to become glorious when the two black and white heroes competed for hegemony, and that white legend was finalized by Auerbach himself, and he laid the foundation for the NBA's prosperity.
Although most people still hate such a domineering old man, no one said that Auerbach was not great. That kind of greatness was arrogance that despised all opponents, and even Stein could not suppress this old guy.
It can even be said that when Stein encounters trouble, he will bow his head to the old man. Auerbach's energy in the NBA is so huge that it is probably only this old guy who knows it himself.
When Stein pushed basketball to the world, this old guy disappeared. It is estimated that few people can forget the history he created, at least in the history of NBA, he must have made some contributions.
And it is a very strong stroke. No one can describe what this old man brought to NBA? Tactics, personality, or the courage to fight to the end with you? Anyway, there are all evaluations.
A dynasty was forged under Auerbach, a dynasty that had not been truly defeated for ten years. It cannot be said that this old guy is invincible, but at least in that era, no one was willing to challenge him.
Even Chamberlain, who has 100 points in a single game, doesn't want to face Auerbach's team, otherwise the "big forklift" wouldn't have won the championship for so many years.
Only Auerbach could do that if he could hold down the beast under the basket. This was not ordinary fierceness, although this old man might not even be able to beat his granddaughter on the court.
But this does not prevent Auerbach from killing all his competitors of his contemporaries. It is because of his tyrant that he could create a green dynasty and rule that prehistoric era.
Even several Lakers coaches were fired because of this old guy. They could be so cruel by just one person. Well, during that time, this old guy was also an absolute beast.
The players and coaches were killed in his hands, and they were all caught by the players and coaches. Some even said that he wanted to stuff the damn cigar into Auerbach's throat.
Because every time the old guy ignites the cigar that wins, he specifies that someone is being humble, either losing the championship or robbing the player he likes.
Anyway, Auerbach can do whatever he wants. No matter who he meets, this old guy can conquer his opponent with his strong enough nerves and execution.
Only the day he chose to give in was to restrain his own rampage, but no one had forgotten that such a beast-like guy still had his own appeal in the league.
Tough and fierce. An old man who is just over 1.7 meters tall can control many big names. No one dares to disobey his intentions, even if the names of those guys are enough to make others look up to him.
Just like Rivers himself said, "We are not afraid of him, uh, okay, I admit that I'm telling lies, I confess, but, in this alliance, who dares to challenge the Cardinal?"
Not only Rivers, but even a guy like Larry Bird who has a reputation is extremely respectful when he meets Auerbach. It cannot be said that he nodded and bowed, it is almost the same.
Being virtuous is worthy. Well, this sentence has to be domineering in Auerbach. This old guy is as fierce and fierce as a time traveler. When he was hanging out with NBA, he was like a cheater.
Among the top 50 superstars in NBA, almost one-fifth of them brought out by this guy. With such a number of people in Boston, it is no wonder that the Celtics can win so many championships.
Similarly, the disciples brought out by this old guy are now the most brutal backbone in the league, but they no longer play basketball, and most of them are management and coaches.
But Auerbach probably can have such resource conditions. Such an old man sitting in Boston can still use his invisible power to guide the country.
He was not in a bad mood to be humble, but when this old guy was about to do something, others might understand how much influence the old man had.
Just like the scene in the Hong Kong movie "Dark Flower", the policeman played by Tony Leung did not realize until the moment he died that he had caused a murder because he questioned the ability of an old guy.
They are both old men and have been in the world for many years. Auerbach is like the underworld boss who calls the wind and rain in Macau. He can easily deal with many people without doing it himself.
He is cunning and has a bad temper. Anyway, these adjectives can explain the deterrence of the old man Auerbach. If he plans to do something, there will probably not be many people who can stop him.
No one could stop him from winning eight consecutive championships at the beginning, and no one could stop the old cardinal from setting up a pawn for the new Boston Dynasty.
Well, this old guy is like a boss in the world. When he is unable to come back, he is thinking about how to mess up the stagnant waters of the NBA. At least in Auerbach's eyes, the current alliance is less vitality.
Since there are all fighting in chaos and no dominant team appears, why do the Celtics miss the opportunity to restore the situation? That's why this old guy intervenes in the draft again twenty years later.
Even if such a move may make Angie a little helpless, Auerbach has spoken out, who can really refuse? Even the Celtics boss will support this old guy's decision.
Now, just intervening in the draft cannot let Auerbach extinguish the impulse that rekindled in his heart. The old man's idea is actually very simple. He not only wants to leave the Celtics the capital to turn the tables before he passes away.
He also wants to make that kid an iconic figure, just like his Boston Dynasty, this team must have a soul, a tough, fierce and tough soul.
No one is afraid of encountering it. Even in desperate situations, they will grit their teeth and fight back. Only this old man knows how many times he was able to win the honor of eight consecutive championships.
If there was no strong heart, I would probably not be able to bear this kind of task. Fortunately, after more than a dozen NBA games, that wild boy definitely met this condition.
The wild boy who broke out on the street had such a kind of unscrupulous temperament. No matter who he met, he would dare to take it directly, without even caring about whether he would be knocked down.
Just like this game with the Mavericks, the kid hit Nowitzki head-on, without any intention of retreating, and he would even create an opportunity to fight the opponent to the end.
It was a kind of crazy confidence, or the courage to fight to the death with anyone. From Stoudemire to meeting Nowitzki, the kid had this attitude.
When Auerbach was watching the game in front of TV, he didn't say much to Tarcanian, but in terms of his sense of identity in his heart, the old guy had already planned to tie the kid to death in the city of Boston.
Even Auerbach planned to meet with Falke. When the kid's contract needs to be modified, he could provide some help to increase his chances of staying in the team.
Although I don’t know what the future will be, Auerbach just took a fancy to Chen Feng’s tough character. That kid definitely meets the requirements of the Cardinal. He has a strong soul and is a good piece of steel that can be forged!
This kid has to stay in Boston for three more seasons. Maybe no one can tell what will happen in the future, but at least Chen Feng belongs to the Celtics now. Auerbach hopes that this fierce little lunatic can become stronger.
Rivers just put him on the starting lineup, but Auerbach was not the problem. He wanted to make this kid more fierce, and it would be better to support a sky for Boston at the basket.
The Celtics' green jersey has not been given honor for too long. Auerbach's move this time is not only to provide some help for the team's rise, but also to allow the team to restore the momentum of dominating the league in the past.
"Even if the league can no longer tolerate a team that has won eight consecutive championships, I hope Boston can become a strong contender for the championship, not just rising in the Atlantic region, the Atlantic cannot tolerate the glory of Boston!"
Auerbach did not say these words, but his step-by-step plan was to reshape the glorious moments for Boston. He did not want to interfere in those boring transactions, but he was interested in forging a vibrant beast.
Just like the "Lord of the Rings" he brought to Boston, Boston now needs such a powerful guy to take charge, like a stabilizing needle, stabbing it hard under the basket and then despising all opponents!
This is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight, but Chen Feng's appearance did make Auerbach feel a little younger. The crazy impulse once again made Auerbach pick up his iconic cigar.
"No one can stop Auerbach's conquest, and in the future, no one can stop that kid from dying! This is my plan, Cardinal! Wait and see, you will always know how that kid will grow!"
For such a goal, Auerbach waved his baton again and found a master for the kid, not a sparring player, but Chen Feng couldn't stand it when a group of big names appeared on the side of the training ground.
"I'll tell you, who are these people! Damn, is that old man planning to bring all the 50 most dead superstars to me? This is too cruel!"
When Thibodeau and Rivers saw this scene in front of them, they were a little confused. At least in Rivers' opinion, Auerbach's move was really too... and too much torment.
What is connection? This is connection. Auerbach didn't go anywhere at all. He just had a few phone calls, and then a big name gathered from all over Boston. I'm afraid that even Stein could not have such appeal.
This is completely paving the way for Chen Feng with his terrifying connections. Who has ever enjoyed such treatment? Rivers even wants to say now, is this kid really not Auerbach's lost grandson?
Tacanian was very calm because when he was studying these things with Auerbach that day, he was always by his side and heard Auerbach's call with his own ears.
Well, such a guy stood on the sidelines. Fortunately, this was after regular training. There was no one except that boy Chen Feng was left behind, otherwise it would definitely cause a sensation.
I guess a little guy like Rondo would definitely come to take a photo with his autograph. Although it is one era short, it does not mean that these guys have no influence. Don’t forget that they have not left the NBA circle now, they are just old.
McHale, this guy was originally a team manager at the Timberwolves, but Auerbach summoned the guy to Boston with a call, and the guy was so happy that he ran over quickly.
Such a person alone may not create such an effect. Although McHale is also one of the superstars, he is just a big and small person compared to others.
Well, Chen Feng was a little dazzled now. There were only a few he could recognize, but only a few were enough to surprise him.
"I'll go, Parrish! But, Bird, uh, the one over there seems to be Bill Shaman? I'm so glad, that guy over there is not Russell, your sister! There are Oscar Robinson and Halfrichek? Damn, why are Carl Malone and Moses Malone coming here too! These two guys are here to recognize their relatives! Is this your mom, that old man here to kickstarts exhibition?"
Chen Feng was really speechless now. He really didn't know how Auerbach found this group of fossil-level figures. With one call, uh, that old guy summoned such a fierce old guy with one call.
But, what are you going to do? Just these guys, they took off their championship rings, which was enough to knock me out. Are you planning to train? Or are you planning to let these old guys scold me?
Chen Feng was completely dizzy. After all, when he was with Barkley and Larry Johnson, he was a little more real. Those two guys were stars in the 1990s.
And Chen Feng can be regarded as seeing the opponent playing ball from the video and video tape, but with such a vote in front of him, uh, Chen Feng probably might not have watched their game even if it was Rivers.
Of course, I won’t mention the well-known guy like Ma Long. This guy is still on the historical scoring list, but compared with the ancient figures in front of him, he is obviously a younger generation.
Bird didn't dare to pretend to be old here easily, because compared to the "Lord of the Rings", they were all too young, not to mention that Auerbach was sitting on the sidelines.
But with such a vote, he is a great god in the prehistoric era! There is no need to say about his ability, but do these old guys also plan to be a sparring trainer for themselves? That collision will not be killed on the spot?
It was obvious that Chen Feng did not understand what the old man wanted to do until Auerbach spoke. After hearing this, he was clear-headed, but he covered his forehead and lamented, "This old guy is really going crazy!"
"Leave all your skills to this kid. I'm talking about offensive skills. Of course, Russell, you, a guy, want to tell that kid how to slap others and get fouled."
"I know exactly what you are good at. If anyone is not careful, I will burn his butt with a cigar later! Have you heard it clearly? You guys! This is an order, like a game! Do you understand!"
Auerbach's voice was far less loud than it used to be, but this old guy's words received a response from a big name. Just like when they were coached, Auerbach was still their most respected leader.
Well, with such old fry and superstars, who are working hard to forge a young boy, it is estimated that only Auerbach has the ability to do such a livestock.
"Larry, that kid's shooting rhythm and feel is a bit bad, you have to correct him, if he still does this at the end of the season, I'll be in trouble for you."
Seeing Bird's obedient expression, Chen Feng was completely speechless. Uh, let the "Big Bird" teach him how to shoot? I'll go! What's the treatment? That guy's shooting was much stronger than Nowitzki.
The three-pointer was thrown like you don't have money. Uh, this guy teaches me, I'm going, it's really stressful...
Of course, this is definitely not the end, but just the beginning. Auerbach's mission is issued one by one, which is completely the coaching style he had at the beginning.
Parrish and McHale are responsible for Chen Feng's footwork training, especially Parrish guy, who needs to tell Chen Feng how to ensure his physical condition. After all, this old guy is a long-lived player in the league.
In Auerbach's opinion, Chen Feng is a bit too strong. The most taboo thing about this kind of playing is injury. If you want to stay in the league for a long time, guys like Parrish have their own unique methods.
The two Ma Long's teachings to Chen Feng were even more direct. They were both powerful and powerful talents with muscle type. When they saw similar people like Chen Feng, they naturally knew how to let the boy understand how to use the explosive power of the muscle to better.
Especially Carl Malone, it was completely dug up by Auerbach with his own face. This muscular man who had just retired for a few years, had a tendon body that had not yet left the shape, and could still stand it with Chen Feng at the basket.
After fighting with such a number of people, Chen Feng realized that the tendon flesh was not for nothing. Even though Ma Long was old, his fierce fighting style was still so aggressive.
A simple collision can make your rib bone feel a little painful. If it were at its peak, it would not be so fierce!
Now Chen Feng knows how tough Ma Long was at the beginning. Even now he is old, this guy can still easily knock down a small inside player in the league.
To be continued...
