"Go, go, go, let's get up there and kick their butts, make the image of that brat lifting the trophy our background!"
The intermission ended, and Pierce shouted.
With two all-star level players and two near all-star level Hawks players, it's rare to have so many stars on a team without any conflicts.
Bibby and Pierce, these two veterans, have experienced all kinds of hardships and torments; the middle-aged Joe Johnson, after leaving Nash for the great world, went directly from the league's top team to the bottom one, has already recognized the reality; Horford was brought out by these three, and his low post moves were even taught by Pierce himself.
The division of labor among the four is also very clear, with Pierce as the face and leader, Bibby as the game manager and locker room leader, Joe Johnson as the primary shooting option and the star, and Horford as the team pet and future.
