093: First Show Gift Monthly Pass)
Wayne thought he just had to be a sixth man today, but it turned out...
That’s really what happened!
James forcibly leads the team to a comeback? Big Z returns to his glory?
No, it's all gone.
There are so many miracles on the basketball court.
The No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference faced off against a team on the edge of the playoffs. There was so much anxiety.
When O'Brien and Artest took a break, Wayne jumped repeatedly in the third and fourth positions, alternately beating the opponent.
And when James came off the court to rest...the Cavaliers didn't even have room to fight back.
This is the difference.
In this way, the Pacers maintain the lead both in rotation time and starting time.
At the end of the fourth quarter, Xiao Zhan really showed his strength and once scored 6 points in a row, quite intent on reversing the situation.
But old Miller disagreed. Brother, how can I let you, a little thief, steal my first win of the season?
So he hit two consecutive three-pointers, directly extinguishing the Cavaliers' counterattack.
After shooting two three-pointers, Miller arrogantly pointed at the Kremlin fans in the stands and made a slit between his two fingers.
This is not to say that Cleveland fans are short, but to say: "You are always so close to victory, always, so close!"
Wayne couldn't help but stand up and applaud Miller.
Not because of those two three-pointers, but because of his good temperament no matter what he wears.
Your uncle is still your uncle after all.
When it comes to pretending, Artest still has to learn from Miller.
Well, Wayne actually hopes that James can make the game suspenseful, so that he can fully demonstrate his abilities at critical moments.
But the Cavaliers didn't give Wayne a chance to perform.
98 to 90, the Indiana Pacers successfully won their first win of the season with an 8-point advantage in the away game!
If the Pacers hadn't basically given up defense when the victory was decided at the end of the game, the point difference wouldn't be so "decent."
On the Cavaliers side, only James and Big Z scored in double figures, the former with 28 points and the latter with 25 points.
Among them, James' shooting percentage was only 42%. If he hadn't scored 3 goals in a row at the last moment, his shooting percentage would have been very ugly.
To be able to defend Mousse like this, I have to admire Gangtai's current defensive ability.
As long as he doesn't go crazy suddenly or commit mindless fouls, he is indeed very strong.
In addition to scoring, Young Zhan also sent out a team-high 8 assists.
Well, it’s typical to be a father and a mother at the same time.
On the other hand, looking at the Pacers, the data sheet looks much better.
Gangtai scored 25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 48.3%. He is definitely not the best player in the game today.
Except for the very stable three points of 3 bars and 0, there is nothing wrong with anything else.
Xiao Ou scored 22 points and 10 rebounds in an understatement, mainly because he played the fourth position most of the time and did not face the big Z directly, so he did not have a height disadvantage.
Old Miller also scored 15 points. The two consecutive three-pointers at the last moment were simply murderous and heart-wrenching.
As the sixth man, Wayne also performed well. He played 25 minutes today and efficiently scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.
Playing crazy in the sixth man position, Wayne's scoring was not difficult at all.
This data is quite amazing for a debut.
At least it's many times better than Chairman Yao's back then.
No, to be precise, it was much better than Chairman Yao's performance today.
Earlier today, in the game between the Houston Red Team and the Pistons, Chairman Yao played 32 minutes, but only scored 7 points and 10 rebounds.
He made 2 of 9 shots from the field, with a shooting percentage of only 22.2%, and a rare 3 of 6 free throws.
McGrady, the highly anticipated scoring champion, only scored 18 points in the game, and his shooting percentage was only 33.3%. McGrady's statistics were exactly the same as when he played against the Pacers in the preseason.
The first show of the MM group is simply hard to describe.
Firstly, the Pistons' defense was indeed fierce, and secondly, the red team's own condition was not adjusted to its best.
For example, Yao Ming was originally very stable in free throws, but because his physical condition was not adjusted well, he still shot very hard.
It is worth mentioning that the person who made the most assists today on the red team was the coach Lu Lu, who is still a player and knows how to play ball.
He scored wildly throughout the game... and had 3 assists, while the red team only had 8 assists.
To put it bluntly, Yao Ming couldn't catch the ball comfortably at all, and he basically shot some difficult shots.
Because he couldn't catch the ball, as a star player, he was only fourth on the team in the number of shots taken. Yao Ming felt miserable, and so did the fans.
Fortunately, the performance of Wayne and the Pacers gave Chinese fans some comfort.
At least today, not all Chinese players fell over.
"Wayne played well today. He only played 25 minutes and scored the third highest score on the team! As the sixth man, Wayne completed his task perfectly."
On the CCTV side, the "Shuangping Combination" must have been bragging about Wayne.
The commentators on the American side were also full of praise for Wayne.
"Wei played a perfect debut. I think Dwight and Emeka must be under great pressure now." Steve Kerr, who was commentating on the game on the sidelines, could not find any fault with Wayne.
"MOP maintained his condition very well in the Final Four. To be honest, he was just as good today as he was in the NCAA! Now, people in Indianapolis can forget about Al Harrington."
Kevin Harlan on the side also echoed.
Therefore, as long as your statistics are good, no one cares whether you are a bad person or not.
Wayne feels that playing sixth man is really suitable for him. He can stagger with Ou and Artest to ensure his right to take shots.
And jumping sideways around the rotation time greatly increases the chance of picking up wool from the air.
When it comes time to take charge of my own business in the future, my ability points will also increase, making the transition completely seamless.
Bah! Regarding the sixth person, can that be called a brush?
Perfect!
After the game, Artest, the best player in the game, was left aside, but Wayne became the most popular player today.
The mysterious Eastern power is showing its power again.
"Wei, you performed so well in the first game and helped the team win, what do you think?"
"I'm very happy to be able to help the team and I believe I can perform better."
Aunt Jenny in front of the TV saw Wayne answering according to the perfect answer he wrote, and nodded with satisfaction.
"So do you think your playing time will increase in the future? If you become a starter, you are bound to have a teammate who will be replaced by you. If it really happens, how will you deal with it?"
The reporter started to hate the second question.
"I listen to the head coach's arrangements. At this stage, I just want to play my role well."
After Wayne answered, he looked at the reporter proudly.
It's OK to dig a hole, but I can't jump. Hey, I don't jump!
"Uh...thank you, Wayne, and good luck to you all."
In his first courtside interview during the regular season, Wayne passed the test perfectly.
After the interview, Wayne wanted to say a few words to Mousse. But when he remembered Artest's warning before the game...well, let it go.
Some people become jealous too easily.
So, Wayne walked directly towards the players' tunnel.
Just as he approached the entrance, "Martial Saint" stopped Wayne.
"Thank you for the great passes you gave me today. Let's continue this season, okay Bro?"
After Jackson finished speaking, he did not forget to give Wayne a vigorous slap in the face.
Is Jackson here to express his gratitude?
On the surface it seems so.
But...Wayne had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
What about the rest?
Why is Jackson alone in the tunnel?
After high-fiving Wu Sheng, Wayne was about to continue walking in, but was stopped again.
"Hey, don't you want to sign an autograph for the little fan?"
"Ah? Oh, I didn't see it. Come on, kid, are you my fan?" Wayne turned around and realized that there was indeed a little boy calling him with a pen and paper.
But... what the hell is this about Jackson?
How do you feel that you are deliberately not allowed to enter the tunnel?
After signing, Jackson patted Wayne's chest with a smile, and then the two of them walked to the locker room.
Walking to the door of the locker room, Wayne suddenly stopped.
Wait, is it because Jackson is so suspicious because others have prepared some trap behind the door?
Speaking of which, I am still a rookie, so I will probably be teased!
This is because I haven't bought a car yet, otherwise those guys would have stuffed popcorn.
It must be because of this that they tried to punish me in another way!
Detective Wayne nodded affirmatively.
"Stephen, you go first." Wayne smiled.
Humph, you are as smart as me! How could you possibly succeed!
"Okay." Jackson opened the door directly and walked into the locker room, and then... nothing happened.
The teammates are all doing their own things, and there are no traps behind the door.
Wayne scratched his head.
Am I overthinking it?
After walking into the locker room, everything was still normal. No one suddenly came out from behind the door to pour a drink on him.
Wayne let out a big sigh. It seemed that he was being too cautious.
He then opened the wooden door of the locker and prepared to change clothes.
Then......
"Wow~~"
"What... is..." Wayne looked at the pile of things sliding out of the locker and was stunned.
My locker was completely filled with a variety of gadgets.
I picked up one and took a look. Oh my goodness, it’s that kind of plastic sports protective equipment!
A whole wardrobe!
"Hahahahaha, surprise, this is our debut gift to you, like it!"
Artai, who was taking a shower, was the first to jump out when he heard the noise, without bothering to wash the foam on his body.
It's obvious that he is the mastermind.
"Martial Saint" Jackson is a wingman.
Suddenly, everyone started cheering, and some people took out their cameras to take pictures.
The rookie's trickery operation was a great success!
"I... thank you so much!" Wayne looked at the sports protective equipment scattered on the ground.
Damn it, when will it be used?
Wait, I don’t need it now at all!
In the end, the Pacers' No. 12 rookie was tricked.
Artest pulled back a victory!
Of course, Wayne was in pain and happiness.
At least this is much better than carrying a pink schoolbag and dangling it in front of reporters.
And this thing... is relatively practical...
At this time, in the locker room of the Palace Stadium of Auburn Hills, the double Wallace duo were staring at the TV.
"Fuck, you actually let him win. Gooden is such a softie!" Rasheed hammered the locker indignantly.
"Huh, it's useless to let Ron win." Ben also clenched his fist angrily.
Then, the two Wallaces looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Half a month later in Detroit, they each had their own revenge.
Rashid has been waiting for Wayne for a whole year!
Do you know how he lived this year? It’s all caused by Wayne, idol!
Now, he finally waited for that guy!
He promised that he would make Wayne pay the price and would never show mercy!
Wayne is going to be dealt with, I said so!
Chapter completed!
