I am Really an Insider

"Jermaine O'Neal was a beast today, a dangerous beast."

"He was like a shark that had been hungry for a week and then suddenly smelled blood."

"Terrible guy, the Eagles defense was completely torn apart by him."

Behind the commentary desk at Bankers Life Arena, both commentators were stunned by O'Neal's bloodthirsty performance.

Xiao Ao, who returned after three games of rest, performed quite amazingly.

At this time, Xiao Ou leaned on the Frenchman Boris Diaw on the right wing of the low post. This immature second-year forward was like a small branch, but what was leaning on him was a giant bear.

He could be broken at any time.

Wu Sheng gently dropped the ball into the penalty area, and then sat back and watched O'Neal's performance.

During the Eagles period, Dior weighed about the same as Wayne, but was only 2.03 meters tall.

The MVP of the French League was out of place in the NBA, and many people speculated that he might go home after his rookie contract ended.

O'Neal got the ball and bumped it back without hesitation.

"Oh, I'll go." Looking at Dio, Wayne couldn't help but uttered a hometown dialect and covered his chest.

Fortunately, he is with the Pacers. Most of the time, he has to help him defend the powerful inside line.

Wayne estimated that if he was on another team, he might be in a worse situation than Diaw, and he would be hit by autism.

Look at Dior taking off after going to the sun.

Therefore, it is still very important to play in a team that suits you.

Xiao Ao took a step back, and then quickly turned towards the baseline.

Diaw stepped forward to block it, but missed it.

Because just now Xiao Ao just made a fake move of shaking his shoulders.

Shaking away Diaw, O'Neal Jr. turned around from the other side and scored with an underhand layup.

"Tsk, tsk, pathetic French coffee man." Wayne shook his head, Dior hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Go in, Jermaine's goal is still very easy! 39 points, he scored a career-high 39 points! Poor Burris, if you want to blame, you can only blame Olowokandi.

Without those three-game suspensions, Jermaine might not have been so excited. "

Olowokandi: Did I trick you in the nightclub?

After the goal was scored, the Eagles paused the game.

Dior is about to cry, what's going on!

Why did this happen to me!

Where's Wayne? What about the promised fight against Wayne?

Coach, you are trying to trick me into killing me!

The Frenchman tried his best, but next to him, "Fat Tutu" Anthony Walker looked relaxed.

He also tried his best.

As the current star of the Eagles, Fat Snail is going crazy today.

He took 21 shots in the game, hit 14 irons, and made 2 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line.

With this iron rate, who would dare to say that he is not a superstar? After taking 21 shots, who dares to say that he didn't try his best?

A serious superstar would not take action twenty times.

Hawks coach Mike Woodson is also very happy. With Walker's shooting percentage and body protection, are you worried that he will fail?

This year's No. 1 pick must belong to Atlanta!

Thanks to the efforts of Xiao Ao and Fat Snail, the game entered garbage time.

In the first game after the Pacers were fully staffed, they gave the fans a big victory.

With 39 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, O'Neal's statistics are gorgeous.

As for whether his playing so fiercely today has anything to do with the Pistons, that's unknown.

However, it is generally believed that Xiao Ao is killing the chicken to show the monkey.

"Well done Jermaine."

The game was paused, and Wayne, wearing training clothes, walked up and gave O's ass a warm high-five.

Xiao Ao smiled softly, completely different from the bloodthirsty look he had on the court just now.

He is a typical person who is fierce and tough to outsiders, but gentle to his own people.

And Artest's treasure boy treats both internal and external people equally.

Really. Never partial.

In the end, the score between the two teams was fixed at 104-86.

Wayne only scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists today, not because he performed poorly, but because Artest and O'Brien performed so well.

Therefore, as the sixth man, Wayne has little room to play.

After the game, the best player in the game was praised by reporters.

"Humph, you are a bunch of heartless people, have you forgotten who has carried the team forward in the past few games?" Artest on the side definitely did not show the slightest jealous expression, absolutely not.

"Okay, didn't we win?" Wayne passed by Artest, preparing to drag him back with him.

Stop looking for shots for yourself. Are the reporters afraid of you?

"Yes, we won, a big victory! So we have to celebrate!" Artest seemed to have realized something, suddenly showing a wicked smile, and then excitedly slipped to the water dispenser.

Thirty seconds later, Xiao Ao, who was being interviewed, suddenly became heartbroken.

Artest took two glasses of ice water and poured it directly over O's head who was being interviewed!

"Congratulations on your career high, man!"

Artest ran away after getting showered, leaving no trace.

The reporters all smiled: "It seems that you and Ron have a good relationship, Jermaine."

Xiao Ao forced a smile and said in his heart: "Well, very good, very good."

It would be best if I could strangle him to death on the spot.

"Then let's continue the interview just now, Jermaine. We just talked about Detroit. Last season in the Eastern Conference finals, you unfortunately lost to the Pistons before the finals.

Recently, Ron had another altercation with Pistons players in the media.

Rasheed also seemed hostile to Wayne.

It's obvious that you both are eager to beat each other again. Two days later, you will have the opportunity to play the Pistons again. Who do you think will be the better team this time? "

Faced with this question, Xiao Ao's expression suddenly became serious, and he succinctly uttered one word: "We!"

Jermaine Yao Neal answered decisively.

"I think now we have become a better team than last season and a better team than the Pistons. We are confident that we can win in Detroit."

O'Neal Jr. said what he should say, and of course, this also completely removed the "safety bolt" between the Pacers and the Pistons.

If you say what Artest said before, you can regard it as nonsense.

So today, when the calm Xiao Ao also expressed his position, everyone knew that the game two days later would be a war.

"Thank you Jermaine, congratulations on your victory, and I wish you good luck in the next two days."

After accepting the interview, Xiao Ao hurried back to the locker room and pushed open the locker door.

Artest looked up and saw the furious O'Brien, and quickly pointed to Wayne next to him: "Wayne did it too."

Wayne, who is changing clothes:? ? ?

God, is it difficult to force it?

"Next time you tease me like this, you're dead, Ron." Xiao Ou was really angry. It was a joke for teammates who had a good relationship to do this, but Artest was deliberately looking for trouble by doing this.

"A little, a little, a little, you have such magnanimity. If I score 39 points, you can throw the bench at my head!"

Um? Is there some weird flag set up again?

Amid the commotion, Carlisle walked into the locker room and clapped his hands.

Everyone fell silent and looked at their coach.

"Well done guys, we played to our level in this game. With 7 wins and 1 loss, we are now the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference and I'm proud of you."

After Carlisle finished speaking, the players nodded in agreement.

Indeed, after adding Jackson and Wayne this summer, everyone agreed that this already great team became even better.

The record is the best proof.

"So next game, in Detroit, I hope we can send a message to the Pistons. Tell them that we are different! Tell them that we are no longer so easy to beat. Tell them that the Eastern Conference this season belongs to our!"

Carlisle then punched his palm as he spoke.

Suddenly, everyone's emotions were aroused.

It's not just the players who have grudges with the Pistons.

Carlisle, the coach, also desperately hopes to defeat his old club.

That's right, my old club.

Before last season, Carlisle was the head coach of the Pistons, and he single-handedly built the Pistons' lineup.

However, due to friction with the Pistons management, Carlisle was fired despite his outstanding performance and was replaced by Larry Brown.

Damn it or not, the Pistons won the championship in the first season after Larry Brown took over

Seeing the foundation he had built being carried forward by others, Carlisle felt somewhat unwilling to do so.

He wanted to prove that he could do it even if he started over in a new place!

The grudge between the Pistons and the Pacers is really complicated.

During training the next day, Wayne saw Artest receiving guidance from a psychiatrist again.

The Pacers players are all familiar with this.

Every week, Artest receives psychological counseling to control his violent emotions.

"If you're feeling agitated and upset, try leaving the situation and sitting quietly. This will calm you down quickly, Ron."

"Well, I'll try my best." Artest was absent-minded. He never thought that he needed to be counseled.

Now, his mind has flown to Detroit.

At this time, the media are hyping up the rematch of last season's Eastern Conference Finals.

This Friday night nationally broadcast game has become the highlight of the beginning of the season.

Players from the two teams were already at war with each other before the game, and both sides were angry.

"We are the championship, but they don't want to admit it. They always think that last season's championship should have belonged to them, which is ridiculous." Chauncey Billups is the calmest person in the Pistons, but in the face of When reporters look at him, it's not hard to see the anger in him.

"Ron Artest is playing like an MVP? Hahahaha, don't be ridiculous. No matter how good he is, he is just Jermaine's little brother." Big Ben is very good at causing trouble. This wave of instigation can give 9 point.

"Wayne is not as strong as you think, he just hasn't met a strong enough opponent yet. Defeat Garnett? Hahahahaha, he has never defeated Garnett. Without that buzzer-beater, Wayne Well, the performance that day will be worthless.

As for the final kill, this is something that can be played with luck. "

Rasheed was the most excited of all the Pistons players.

He has been waiting for this game for more than a year.

Players from both sides, media and fans jointly pushed the atmosphere of this game to its peak.

This is not an ordinary game, this is a national broadcast on Friday night between two teams with long-standing feuds.

ESPN was promoting this matchup a week in advance, and the tickets at the Palace of Auburn Hills had already been sold out.

Everyone can feel the unusualness of this game, and neither side wants to lose.

On the plane to Detroit, Artest emphasized to Wayne more than once: "This is the game I must win in my life."

Wayne thought Artest was talking about winning, but in fact what he really thought was: Basketball and fighting, we have to win at least one of them!

Finally, on November 19, Wayne and his teammates arrived at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit.

As soon as Wayne got off the bus, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.

"Wayne, can you tell me what you think of Rasheed's comments about you?"

"Wei, how does it feel to join this war?"

"Are you going to help the Pacers gain an advantage? If this is the Eastern Conference Finals, do you think your arrival can help the team get to the Finals?"

Wayne simply couldn’t answer these questions because there were just too many! .

If he answers one by one, the fight will probably be over by the time he goes on stage.

Bird and Walsh were also waiting in front of the TV early. The Detroit Pistons were one of the biggest obstacles on the Pacers' road to winning the championship.

Today, Bird wants to see a different result than last season.

Sitting in the locker room, Wayne felt that the air around him was filled with chilling air.

Artest kept taking deep breaths, as if trying to calm himself down.

As a result, Artest's efforts were in vain once Wayne and others stepped onto the court.

Wayne now dares to say something: "The Pistons fans are half responsible for the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills."

"Go away, you trash, we are the champions and you are the losers!"

"Chinaman, this is not your game, Rashid can cut you into pieces with just one little finger!"

"Kneel down and leave!"

Inside the Palace of Auburn Hills, the fans were as loud as those in Boston.

Their insults soon made all the Pacers players frown.

In such an environment, talking about controlling emotions is really futile.

Rasheed Wallace, Wayne's old friend, also entered the court amid the chaotic shouting.

He looked at Wayne as if he were seeing old friends whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Well, he was so kind that he wanted to take his fist and give Wayne a good greeting on the head.

"Hey, rookie, we meet again." Rasheed walked to the Pacers' warm-up half and called out to Wayne.

But at this time, Xiao Ao stepped out and stood between the two of them: "Don't provoke him."

The on-site referee became nervous instantly. The game hasn't started yet. Hey, can you guys tell me some basic rules?

"Haha, it's nothing, I just came to say hello. Hey, Wayne. No one can protect you today, Xiao'er, even if Jesus comes!" Wallace said, pointing at Wei rudely. kindness.

"Wo you?" Seeing Wallace pointing fingers at Wayne so arrogantly, countless Chinese fans were so anxious to see Lei Jiayin.

Stop saying anything, Brother Wei, fuck him, wgnb! (Breaking sound)

After saying that, Rashid left, and then discussed something with Ben.

He was probably saying something like, "You beat Artest and I'll beat Wayne."

Half an hour later, the starting lineups of the two teams were standing near the center circle, and Wayne was sitting on the sidelines gearing up.

Whether you can successfully get Artest's wool depends on tonight.
