Chapter 824 The best time

It is not new to popular teams losing the opening match, and things that are going to die often happen. Many commentators pretend to be so-called "a real strong team will be ready to fight at any time." However, even the strongest team will relax, be careless, and lose some games that should not be lost.

The most typical one is the Lakers in 2001.

In the regular season, OK was still fighting for the ball, and his record was not as good as the 76ers in the Eastern Conference and lost to the Spurs in the same zone. The Sharks missed the opportunity to get their second MVP trophy, but in the playoffs, they scored a well-known 16 wins and 1 loss.

So the correct statement should be this: a truly strong team will play in full shape at the right time.

The Pacers' current situation is not qualified to compare with the Lakers. They should indeed reflect on why they played badly in the opening game.

Hurry back to home from Detroit and rested for a day. The second game of the regular season, the home game was also the night when the fourth NBA championship flag was raised.

Tonight, the team here is the Boston Celtics.

The people who set the schedule are really good at making arrangements.

The Pacers' opponent is neither the nearly invincible Bulls nor the weak team without any highlights, but the Celtics who were defeated after the Eastern Conference Finals.

Before the film started with the Pacers, they were recognized as strong teams.

After the game, they fell into the abyss. The pseudo-strong team, the most popular division runner-up, the lucky one. All kinds of tags are posted on them.

All their cold words are given by the walkers.

We will definitely compete with all our strength tonight and do everything we can to give the Pacers a night that is difficult to sleep.

That morning, Xie Hou sneezes.

The cramps the night before yesterday are now completely gone, and he is in good condition and can make a perfect black jam.

After more than a year of hard work, Xie Hou evolved from a novice to a mature black jam chef and obtained the authoritative certification of Tommy Wollenin.

"If you unfortunately go bankrupt in the future, you can really go to Finland to be a chef." Vorenin said as if he was very funny. "A Chinese, a bankrupt NBA player, but he can make authentic black jam, it will definitely attract many people to visit."

Xie Hou replied to him with a slight smile: "Thank you, I hope I will never wait for that day."

He was enjoying breakfast when Deroni jumped under the table.

The fat cat thought it was the same as before.

When Xie Hou just brought it home from the street, it was agile and there was no problem with jumping to the table. Now, if you want to jump to the table, it is not only an insult to its hula hoop, but also an insult to Xuewei. If it can still jump to the table now, wouldn’t it mean that Xuewei’s careful care for it over the years has been wasted? Eating so fat but not reducing her athletic ability? Do you think you are O’Neal or a cat?

“Meow!”

Deroni showed strong interest in Sherlock's breakfast.

Xie Hou ignored its cry and was about to eat. When Xuewei carried the child out and gave her a greasy kiss, she went out.

During afternoon training, Tim Thomasgar practiced shooting.

He fell in love with Indiana last season and his love made Xie Hou puzzled. He, who has lived in Indiana for five years, did not feel that there was anything worth loving here.

But he stayed.

A team outside gave him a middle-class contract, but he didn't want it, so he signed a two-year veteran's basic salary.

In the opening game, his three-pointer was like teaching the people of Auto City how steel was made.

One piece after another was made, and Thibodeau was forgotten in a corner of the bench in the second half. This incident seriously hurt his self-esteem.

"I will definitely make a three-pointer in the game tonight." Thomas said confidently.

"Just this is the pursuit?" Xie Hou felt that he was not old either. How could he live a deep and satisfy his ability to make three-pointers?

In the summer, Xie Hou unexpectedly read a survey related to Thomas and was very surprised.

That was early last year. The Sports Illustrated conducted a survey and asked 242 active NBA players to select the most talent-wasting player in their minds. As a result, Tim Thomas won a disgraceful 10% of the votes and ranked second on the list.

If it weren't for this reason, Xie Hou wouldn't be surprised. He is 31 years old and is not too old. Now he is not as medical as in the 1960s and 1970s. He does not have major ACL-level injuries and is self-disciplined enough, so players can maintain a competitive state for a long time.

Thomas is average in height, weight, strength, and running and jumping. Although he can do many things, this level of panacea is in the league. The slightest singularity is that he has a good feel, but a big pitcher doesn't seem to be able to stand up to the people's smugness.

The only reasonable explanation is that this person released all his talents to high school and freshman year, giving the outside world a ridiculous sense of expectation. At that time, Thomas was extremely fierce and won numerous awards. He was recognized as the number one high school student in the United States, with popularity and prestige overwhelming Kobe.

Perhaps it is for this reason that although Thomas' performance in the first two years of his career was only worthy of the middle class, the Bucks signed a six-year, $67 million contract with him in 1999.

The training hall was very lively. Xie Hou maintained the training volume. After practicing, he wanted to find someone to say a few words, but found that most people were training alone.

In order to show authority, the rookie coach will focus on training, and Thibodeau is a representative of it.

If you are not accurate on the court, it must be that something is wrong on the training ground.

For this reason, Thibodeau's performance on the training ground is devilish.

Shehou prefers Rick Claire's training state when he was in office. Now Kirirenko has a free card, is reimbursed for the season, O'Neal Jr. has a sore knee, and is indefinitely quit (when will it not be sore and when will it come back).

The old acquaintances in the team looked at Papalucas, Artest, Foster, and Sun Yue.

Before the training explanation, Xie Hou clapped his hands and signed a check of $10,000 on the spot. "Don't think I'm arrogant, but I don't think anyone on the team can surpass me in the stability of the shooting basket, so I decided to put the ring. If any of you can vote better than me, this check is the right as a gift for the new season. Of course, to win this check, you have to put it as a bet."

Papalucas, who is extremely confident in three points, comes first.

It’s very regrettable that the stability in actual combat was not reflected in the training ground, so he gave it to you for nothing.

"Whoever can win me will win all the checks." This means that the more people lose to Xiehou, the greater the bonus you can win.

The Pacers have three maximum-paid players.

Shehou, O'Neal Jr. and Papalucas.

Except for Xie Hou, the other two people, who seem to be short of money, are not present. Those present are either middle-class, basic salary, or rookie contracts, and there is no saying that they are short of money. Papalucas is given in vain, and they are not afraid of death and are rushing forward.

Desire is indeed a devil that corrupts the soul.

In this game, in less than half an hour, Xie Hou made a short fucking wolf and made a net profit of 90,000 US dollars.

"Nicolas, Lao Jia bought a bottle of water for every guy here!" Xie Hou took out a check with a denomination of $5,000 and went to the hands of rookie Batum. "The remaining money is considered a errand fee."

Even if you buy water for stray cats near the stadium, it won’t cost much. Batum earned a lot of money this time.

Sun Yue immediately muttered, "Brother Monkey, the fat water will not flow to outsiders' fields, I can run errands too!"

"Are you short of that little money?"

"Is this something too much?"

It makes sense.

"I'll ask you to buy it next time."

Hearing this, Sun Yue patted his chest and smiled at his colleagues from all walks of life, "Although I am a second-grade veteran," where did he say he was a veteran? "But I am very concerned about everyone's needs. If I need to run errands, please say it directly. Of course, you can't be stingy for the errands, at least you have to be of Arthur's level..."

All he got was boo.

I'll give the errands fee and thank you at that level? I'll give you so much money under this roof. What's more, what he's squandering is not his own money...

Seeing Xie Hou secretly happy with the check, everyone felt like they were cheated.

Why do you have to compete with him for shooting? After Wang Zhizhi and Granger left the team, no one in the team could have shot him.

The shooting game with Xie Hou was just a small episode.

At the Banker Life Stadium that night, fans sat in all the seats.

All tickets were sold out.

The fourth NBA championship flag will be raised tonight.

Before the competition began, David Stern presented the championship ring.

In order to get the ring, Kirilenko, who was reimbursed for a back injury season, and O'Neal, who had a knee pain, all came to the scene.

Kirilenko looked thinner than before.

Since the end of last season, he has been treating his back. According to the doctor, he can get all the conveniences and privileges that disabled people deserve through his back.

This is too familiar.

Every player from Europe knows the experience of Sabonis's Trail Blazers when he landed in the NBA.

That year, the Trail Blazers doctor told Sabonis that he could apply for parking for disabled people with x-rays on his knee.

Kirilenko and others, who were still children, were only inspiring to hear the story.

Sabonis was troubled by injury and still made a name for himself in the NBA.

Only when the same fate comes to oneself can one know how helpless it is.

Kirilenko received the fourth ring, and he also put on the first three rings, saying with a little regret: "I would have liked to wear the ring all over his whole hand."

"What's the difficulty? We will win another championship after we keep our health." Xie Hou said with a smile.

Artest muttered: "Stop complaining, you have twice as many rings as Wilt Chamberlain!"

"The character you are talking about is too long. Let's talk about it in the nearest way. Our rings are more than Shaq O'Neal." Xie Hou put the fourth ring on the thumb of his left hand and paid close attention.

The fourth of the four championships in five years, this ring is more difficult than the previous three rings.

He symbolizes how great power the walkers can burst out when they are indomitable in heavy blows and an epic legend on the verge of despair.

No matter how many times he asked Xie to candidate, his favorite champion will always be the championship in the 2007-2008 season.

His career is still long, and he may be able to compete for more championships.

But he will definitely not have another season like last season, with wounded soldiers and hopeless defending champions. The whole world is not optimistic about their victory, and they will slap in the face and counterattack until the end of the road. Their persistence and struggle have been waiting for "that     moment".
