However, the Celtics' mainstay at the time, Red Cardinal, did not choose to trust Larry Bird, but chose two other disciples to manage the Celtics.

Larry Bird was very angry at the time. He felt that he did not have the trust and respect of the Cardinal.

In a rage, he returned to Indiana to grow corn and began his old age early.

Whenever he feels like it, he goes to the TV station to be a commentator and uses his big mouth to vent his anger by criticizing the Celtics.

It wasn't until 1997 that the Pacers took the initiative to find this hometown hero and hired him as the team's head coach.

Prior to this, the Pacers had only achieved a poor record of 39 wins and 43 losses in a single season, and the team urgently needed to make changes.

Larry Bird agreed without hesitation and said, "If I don't help the Pacers win the championship within three years, I'll get out."

Then, in the 97-98 season, Larry Bird's first year as coach, he helped the Pacers improve their record to 58 wins and 24 losses!

In his first year as head coach, he led the Pacers to the best record in Pacers history.

On May 8th of that year, they made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals and lost to the Bulls in a Game 7.

This year, Larry Bird won the league's best coach...

Everyone knows what happened next. The Pacers reached the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years and the Finals in one of those years, but ultimately lost to the Lakers' KO combination.

Larry Bird almost made his boast come true again.

After that year, he fulfilled his promise and resigned as coach if he didn't win the championship.

But his ability has been fully recognized by the Pacers owner. Since he is not willing to be the head coach, he can be the team manager.

Then Larry Bird became the Pacers' team manager.

It is worth mentioning that during the time when Larry Bird led the Pacers, the Pacers' record against the Celtics was 10 wins and 1 loss, Pacers 10!

This is definitely the most brutal example of beating up the old boss!

Sometimes Tiandao himself doubts whether he has the system or Larry Bird has the system?

This life is like a cheat!

Chapter 127: You Have Never Seen a Monster

After finishing the first game, Kirisaki Daiichi did not stay and went straight back to the academy.

They still had a game to play the next day.

It is worth mentioning that before them, Seirin will have a match.

The opponent is Shinkyo Gakuen, who was doubting his life after being hit by Kirisaki's first elbow.

Seirin took this rival very seriously, the intelligence they gathered told them.

This year, Xinxie Academy introduced a foreign aid from abroad, who repeatedly defeated opponents during practice matches.

He is 2 meters tall and has excellent athletic ability. There is no one in the Seirin lineup who can match him.

however.

When the game started, the people of Seirin found that the people of Shinkyo Academy were more nervous than they were.

There is absolutely no momentum of defeating the opponent in the practice match.

Taking advantage of the other party's pause, Seirin's people became curious.

"How is this going?"

"It's completely different from what we heard?"

"Did they really kill so many teams in practice?"

Hinata Junpei felt that their intense preparations were unnecessary.

Or are they already so strong now?

"The intelligence was correct. In two of their three practice matches, they double-killed their opponents. Their performance was very strong."

"What about the remaining one?"

"They have one game left and their opponent is Kirisaki Daiichi."

what? !

Hearing this name, Seirin seemed to have a premonition of something.

"It is said that Xie Academy lost miserably in that game."

"It's just that I didn't expect this kind of misery to mean this. I've completely lost the desire to win."

Just because they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Kirisaki Daiichi, do we feel invincible when we meet someone who also defeated the Generation of Miracles?

Reiko Aida bit her thumb habitually.

What exactly happened in that practice match with Kirisaki Daiichi?

Xinxie Academy, which introduced foreign aid, was beaten so... so depressingly!

Yes, it’s depressing, as if all my energy and spirit have been crushed.

The other teams, regardless of their strength, will aim for the national championship first and cheer themselves on.

Xinxie Academy has absolutely no such temperament, it seems like it is in a mess.

When the competition started, the captain of Xinxie Academy gave their answer.

He said to Hinata Junpei, "Give up. With that monster around, the others don't stand a chance."

He still can't forget the scene of Papa kneeling in front of Tiandao.

It’s over, another one’s defense has been broken.

This is not breaking down, this is giving up on yourself!

Oh, this is so annoying. Why don't you give Tiandao more shots? I want to see what happens.

Yes, the director strongly recommended adding more scenes to Tian Dao!

Real-world audiences are getting interested.

They all expressed their desire to watch Kirisaki Daiichi's practice match and see how they managed to beat Shinkyo Academy so hard that they gave up.

But the director team did not satisfy them.

Halftime is over.

Chenglin got the lead he wanted, but the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit heavy.

They felt that they were still oversimplifying things.

Defeating Kise doesn't mean they can win the championship.

At least the three Generation of Miracles in the Tokyo area are different from Kise.

The leader of the Generation of Miracles, Tiandao Jingyan, became increasingly mysterious in their hearts.

The production team also gave a special close-up to reflect the heavy mood of the Seirin team members.

Tendao stood in front of them like a giant from Olympus, while Seirin's team members were like tiny mortals, holding swords and standing in front of Tendao.

At this moment, the oppressive feeling of heaven is about to overflow the screen.

New viewers in the real world have shown a keen interest in the leader of the Generation of Miracles.

After an unknown amount of time, the game was over.

Seirin defeated Shinkyo Academy fairly easily.

But none of them felt the joy of winning, and their mood became even heavier.

This is because they set their goals too high.

At this moment, they have completely regarded themselves as a team that can win the championship and a strong team that can compete with the Miracle Generation.

It can only be said that defeating Hai Chang gave them too much confidence, and the greatest ambition in their hearts was completely activated.

This is understandable as to why they were so furious in the original novel when they were defeated miserably by Queen Tong.

Overestimating yourself leads to being unable to bear the cruel reality.

The huge gap made it impossible for them to adjust for a while, resulting in a sharp decline in subsequent games. It was not until Muji Teppei returned that they got back on track.

With heavy hearts, they came to the audience seats to watch Kirisaki Daiichi's game.

result.

Tiandao still did not appear on the court and continued to command the entire game as a coach.

Kirisaki Daiichi won their second group match in a simple and unpretentious manner.

Tendou smiled in the direction of Seirin in the audience, then adjusted his sunglasses and led the group into the aisle and disappeared.

In the subsequent games, Kirisaki Daiichi had a smooth journey.

The organizers were also very understanding and divided the three teams with Miracle Generation into different groups.

It is obvious that they intend to let them decide the winner in the round-robin tournament, giving the three teams enough room for error.

As a result, on the fourth day of competition, the biggest upset in the national competition so far occurred.

After 40 minutes of fierce battle, Seirin unexpectedly defeated the champion Shutoku High School by one point.

Heizi made a fatal steal in this crucial battle.

In the last second of the game, he blocked Midorima's winning shot, helping the team to win the game.

At that moment, the whole stadium was boiling!

82: 81!

Shutoku High School, the champion of the Tokyo region, was defeated by the dark horses of Seirin.

The haze that had been lingering for days was instantly swept away.

"We win, we win!"

"We defeated Shutoku and Midorima of the Generation of Miracles!"

After the game, Seirin's players were extremely excited, and Reiko Aida even shed tears of excitement.

The invisible pressure caused by the way of heaven was swept away with the victory of this game.

"We are strong, we are really strong!"

Seirin's confidence was completely boosted by victory.

Now they dare to challenge any team.

"Hmph, this is so disgusting that I want to vomit." Hua Gong Zhen's face was full of disgust.

He saw Shutoku and Seirin 220 praising each other throughout the game and acknowledging each other's strength. He was so disgusted by this drama that he almost vomited on the spot.

What this is the power of the team, this is the victory of the team, I really don’t understand.

"Laugh more now, because soon you won't be able to laugh anymore."

"The real monster is coming soon."

Hanamiya Makoto turned his head slightly and turned his gaze towards Tiandao.

The captain of his own team, however, did not show any change in expression from beginning to end. He always supported his face with his hands and kept smiling.

"It's like watching a circus animal performance. How arrogant is this guy?" Hanamiya Shin looked away, feeling a little sorry for Seirin.

But he doesn't hate it.

He will even try his best to help Tiandao.

It wasn't to help him win, it was just to tear apart those guys who loved playing house and bring them despair.

PS1: Thanks to [北乡一刀] for the 1000VIP+588VIP reward, and thank you all for your monthly tickets, flowers, and reviews. I've been laying the groundwork for this lately, because I found the whole Hanamiya thing quite interesting, and I ended up writing a bit too much. To speed up the pace, I'm going to cut the group stage and focus on increasing the intensity of Seirin.

PS2: I had a few drinks last night, and I can handle a bit of alcohol. I went straight to bed when I got home, and didn't wake up until the early hours. I quickly finished coding yesterday's fourth update, and also coded today's first update. My sleep and rest schedule has been a bit off lately, so I need to get back to normal as soon as possible.
