But no one admits their mistakes.

The game is about to begin. When Anji was interviewed by the media, when asked this question, Anji looked at him of course and said: "Maybe many people will think that we made some stupid decisions at the beginning, but in fact, we really didn't miss anything. Our team is moving forward on the most correct path. Whether it is Marcus or James, they are an important part of the team's future. I believe they will soon be able to grow into competitive players."

Anji's answer was to keep his face alive, but in comparison, the remarks of Celtics rookie Smart would be more direct and straightforward, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a provocation.

"My talent is the best of all rookies. I have believed in this in the past, I have believed in this now, and I will believe in this in the future."

"You mean, will you have the upper hand in the next game against Don?"

"Why not?" Smart pursed his lips and said in a plain tone.

When the reporter left, James Young couldn't help but ask curiously: "Marcus, that guy is in a state, why are you causing trouble for yourself?"

"You really want to know?" Smart said.

"Tell me, I really don't think this is a smart idea." Yang said and shook his head.

"Okay, it's nothing to say." Smart didn't mean to hide it, or he didn't think it was impossible to tell Yang.

"Do you know? Although Manager Danny said he didn't regret his original choice, he knew in his heart that he had missed Tang, so I must prove that I am the choice he deserved to miss Tang."

"I mean, I have to do that," Smart said, looking at Young.

"But if that was the case, if it couldn't be done..."

"No..." Before Yang finished speaking, Smart interrupted, "If you fight for offense, I may not be Tang's opponent, but defensive nonsense, I don't think my role is limited. His characteristic is strength, and this is what I am good at."

Smart seemed confident.

Smart's answer left Johnson speechless, but it also understood why Smart did this.

The match between the two sides was already undercurrent, and Smart's remarks could be said to have added fuel to the fire and made the game tense.

A reporter found Tang Hao and hoped that he would comment on the matter.

Tang Hao was calm and did not comment on Smart's remarks. In fact, he could not raise any interest in commenting at all.

He had very little contact with Smart, the only part was from physical tests before the draft. At that time, Smart was the only one bench press except him.

However, he understood Smart's approach. Competition between rookies is inevitable, not to mention that he and the Celtics and Angie had a hot "grudge" that was hyped by the outside world. It was normal for Smart to prove himself in this game.

So his attitude was that he didn't take this seriously.

Tang Hao's reaction was a kind of indifference, but in Smart's view it was a kind of retreat, which immediately helped him to increase his arrogance.

After the team's last training session, he spoke out again in front of the media, claiming that he would definitely defeat Tang Hao and help the team win this victory.

Such a statement is more than the previous remarks to the local media in Boston**.

The Celtics are the Celtics, the dynasty team, and the team that won the most championships in NBA history. The glory of the past comes from the team's hard style. Smart's iron-blooded approach to challenge is obviously one of the manifestations of the hard style.

In fact, it is not just the Boston media, but also the Celtics have provided support to Smart on the ball. They are looking forward to and believe that Smart will definitely make his name clear.

In fact, at the scene of this game, many spectators appeared at the game with KT boards in support of Smart.

"Marcus, you are the strongest rookie!"

"Defeat that guy!"

"Boston is your strongest backing!"

...

Similar KT boards are everywhere, and local fans in Boston are united in supporting Smart.

The game between the two sides is about to begin. When Tang Hao and his Lakers teammates entered the venue, they were both infected by the atmosphere of the fans on the scene.

Although he is in poor condition like the Lakers, the support of fans is also as always, which is also the foundation of an ace team.

When the player was introduced, Smart received as much cheer as the team's core Rajon Rondo.

After the player introduction was completed, the game between the two sides was about to break out.

When the game was about to begin, a double-point list was given on the LED screen on the scene.

On the Lakers' lineup is exactly the same as before.

On the Celtics, Rondo and Bradley are a combination of Rondo and Bradley, Evan Turner and Jared Salinger on the front line, and the center is the older brother of Zeller brothers.

The once confrontation between the Celtics and the Purple Gold Legion was one of the most anticipated games for fans. Every game almost represents a star collision and a glorious confrontation.

Although the strength of both teams has dropped a lot now, this kind of history remains the same.

Zeller and Hill were jumping the ball, both of whom jumped high, Zeller took off a little earlier, and pushed the ball back to the Celtics' half.

The home team obtained the right to take the lead in attacking, and there were loud cheers coming from the scene.

Rondo pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and when he arrived at the frontcourt, he commanded his teammates to run. When Turner cut the basket at a free cut, he passed the ball in.

Rondo's passing characteristics are precise, and basically his passing can drive the players to complete the attack as soon as possible.

This time is no exception. After Turner received the ball, he took advantage of the situation and made a three-step layup.

A good opportunity, but Kelly, who is inside, comes out to defend.

Turner flashed and staggered Kelly's layup, and the movement was done well, but he was not very well controlled when shooting. The basketball slid past the back edge of the basket and was caught by Hill on the other side.

There was an uproar in the scene.

The Lakers counterattack, Jeremy Lin pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and handed the ball to the weak side to run out of the position. Kobe made an offensive move, attracting the Celtics' defense, and looked back at Tang Hao, and then broke through with the ball.

Tang Hao quickly understood his intentions from Kobe's eyes and started running.

Kobe broke through the basket and pressed the Celtics' defense to shrink.

Although the quality of the completion of the attack is not as good as before, the deterrent power of the breakthrough is still there.

At this moment, Kobe shook his hand and gave Tang Hao a handful of balls.

When the ball arrived, Tang Hao took the ball and made a three-pointer.

"Swish~"

With a crisp sound, Tang Hao's touch was as hot as before, and he hit a steadily three-pointer.

The person who defended Tang Hao was Bradley who had defended him in the trial before.

Now that he saw Tang Hao hit a three-pointer, he waved his arms in anger.

Although not as obvious as Smart's performance, he obviously hopes to clear his name for the previous trial through the main competition.

But now it smells a bit unfavorable.

For the Celtics' offense, Rondo continued to organize on the outside, and Salinger ran back from the inside, and he passed the ball over.

Salinjie received the ball in two steps inside the right three-point line and shot.

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the basketball collapsed and the rebound was grabbed by Kobe.

There was an uproar in the scene.

Both of the offensive opportunities at the beginning were good, but they were not able to hit the game. The home team's feel did not seem to be online.

The Lakers' offense, Jeremy Lin broke through and passed the ball to Kobe on the outside, and Kobe made a fake shot and shook the defender away, and then he also held the ball and killed in.

Bradley was forced to help with defense.

Kobe just took two steps, then shook his hand and gave the ball to Tang Hao again.

Tang Hao catches the ball in a big open position, and throws it with his hand.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, another three-pointer hit.

There was a turmoil at the scene.

Compared with the Celtics, Tang Hao's touch is completely different, it's so hot that it's a bit hot.

The young coach of the Celtics Stevens grabbed his chin with his hand at this time.

Tang Hao's touch is one aspect, and what really surprised him was the cooperation of the Lakers.

Kobe was actually constantly passing the ball to Tang Hao.

This was something he didn't expect. You should know that in the previous games, almost both of them fought for their own games. Tang Hao's outstanding performance was mostly after Kobe left.

But at this time, the two suddenly began to cooperate continuously, which increased the team's defensive pressure.

During the Celtics' offense, Rondo noticed that his teammates were not good, so he called Zeller out to pick-and-roll, and then broke through with the ball, successfully attracting the Lakers' inside defense, and then passed the ball to the inside Salinger.

Salinjie received the ball and scored 2 points, finally scoring for the team.

The fans were cheering excitedly.

In the Lakers' offense, Jeremy Lin took the ball to the frontcourt. Seeing that Tang Hao's side had a good offensive space, he threw the ball over directly.

When Tang Hao received the ball, Kobe asked other teammates to open up the space and gave him enough singles room.

This seems to have become a tacit understanding.

When Bradley saw this scene, a hot gaze flashed in his eyes.
