Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters-Chapter 1046 - 596 Curse Game_3

Chapter 1046: Chapter 596: Curse Game_3 Chapter 1046: Chapter 596: Curse Game_3 Because of the transmigrator effect, The Celtics lost not just the 2008 championship, but also the infamously notorious Billy King trade that directly helped them rebuild.

Now, Garnett and Pierce have both left, and all The Celtics got was a first-round pick from the Cavaliers and Sanders’ poetry and distance.

What’s all this? Why has the reconstruction turned out this way?

Ainge can’t understand, and there are many more things he doesn’t understand.

Like why the League’s top-ranking Clippers struck down so hard against their team, which ranks second to last in the Eastern Conference.

In the first quarter, the Clippers led by 16 points.

By halftime, the lead had expanded to 38 points.

...

And this was just the beginning. In the third quarter, the Clippers’ three-point barrage grew even fiercer; they scored 42 points in that quarter alone, increasing the lead to 55 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers didn’t let up, eventually ending the game with a tremendous 76-point advantage, completely destroying The Celtics’ dignity.

“Frye, does tonight’s game have anything to do with Bill Simmons?”

Unlike Ainge, who doesn’t pay much attention to current affairs, the Boston media clearly knows about the recent public opinion trends.

Yu Fei replied with an easy smile: “You could say it does, or you could say it doesn’t. We just wanted to tell Bill through this game that if there indeed exists a curse, then the cursed one must be his beloved Celtics.”

“I admit, the Clippers have had a rough few decades,” continued Yu Fei, “but however unfortunate, it can’t possibly be worse than The Celtics after 1986, right?”

Yu Fei began his powerful restoration of collective memory.

“The Celtics drafted a second overall pick who died of a cocaine overdose, and not long after, you witnessed the new team captain suddenly die of heart problems on the court. Then came my favorite Rick Pitino era. I still remember the DC media’s report on Pitino’s famous saying, ‘Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish are not walking through that door.’ Should I continue? You missed Tim Duncan with a 30% chance, Paul Pierce was nearly stabbed to death in a Boston bar, The Big Three couldn’t even beat the 2008 Supersonics. What’s Larry Sanders doing? Why isn’t he playing basketball? Marcus Smart was out for the season before he could showcase his talents. Do you still expect to win another championship? What is a curse? I think this is the real curse!”

The topic of the curse was completely reversed from then on, with the media focusing on The Celtics.

They found that what Yu Fei said was all true.

There are many unfortunate teams in professional sports, but how many teams are there like The Celtics, suffering from season-ending injuries or even fatal misfortunes?

Why did the “Baby Curse” become popular back in the day? Because behind the curse was the heavyweight presence of Babe Ruth.

The media’s frenzy is always fleeting, but the misfortunes mentioned by a celebrity continue.

The Celtics were unlucky in the past, are unlucky now, and will they continue to be unlucky in the future?

If it continues, a new “Baby Curse” will be born.

Only this time, playing the role of “Baby” would be Yu Fei.

A day later, public opinion fermented vigorously, and The Celtics replaced the Clippers as the focus of the “curse.”

Bill Simmons lost control of his emotions on his podcast, vehemently defending The Celtics against their string of tragic events. He called for fans to respect the deceased, not to be swayed by public opinion, insisted that there was no curse, and that The Celtics were still the most successful team in NBA history.

“Bill, I need to correct you,” Marc Stein, a former colleague of Simmons, countered on Twitter, “The Celtics were the greatest NBA team before 1984, but that has nothing to do with modern NBA. The Celtics have won just one championship in the modern NBA, and from this perspective, their historical status might not even compare to the Detroit Pistons, so how great can they be?”

The sharp questions from the media made Simmons even more frantic, but no matter how he defended himself, once the tide of public opinion started, it would not easily subside.

The game is starting the way he wants, but it definitely won’t end the way he expects.

This is the real “Curse Game.”
