I am Really an Insider

"Well, everyone, go on the field and perform well. Protect yourselves and don't get hurt. Well, do you have anything to add, Mike?" Carlisle picked up the tactical board before the game, but didn't draw anything. The lid is not even opened.

"Me? Well, defend well and don't use personal heroism. Is that okay?" Mike Brown looked at Carlisle in confusion, as if to say: "I really can't make it up!"

"Okay, that's it. Then, let's go on the field, boys." Carlisle waved his hand and threw the clean tactical board aside.

"Can you guys be a little more serious?" Wayne looked at the two coaches, speechless.

It’s so disrespectful to the Bobcats. Have you ever thought about how the Bobcats feel?

After all, they are a team that has won 7 games!

Although we lost 17 games, do those 7 wins count as victories?

Show some attitude, Bro!

Do you understand the attitude? It's the kind of attitude that wants to tear the other person into pieces.

If you don't do this, how can you stop Okafor from getting a double-double?

That guy can hit a double-double in 14 consecutive games, and the other 29 teams in the league are responsible!

If other teams had the same attitude against the Pacers, Wayne would have maxed out already.

When the game started, the cheers were no longer deafening, but sparse.

Today, Wayne started for the third consecutive game and still partnered with Xiao Ou in the paint.

Although in Carlisle's plan, Wayne is still the sixth man. Moreover, he is already preparing to create a super second team of Payton + Miller + Wayne.

But having Wayne start the game occasionally seems to work well.

So, he stepped up his efforts.

Before the game began, Okafor was bouncing around the center circle excitedly, as if this was a continuation of the March Madness finals.

As for the Pacers, except for Wayne, no one seems to care about Okafor at all.

After the referee whistle blew, Xiao Ao fought for the ball.

Okafor does not have an advantage in height, and Okafor, who has not been injured yet, is not inferior to Okafor in terms of athletic ability.

This scrimmage is just like playing.

Wayne pressed forward actively, intending to verbally attack Okafor as soon as he came up.

To Wayne's dismay, the Bobcats used Okafor at center.

The person defending Wayne is a guy named What? Oh, Melvin Eli's player.

In 2001, Melvin Eli represented the United States team in the University Games held in China.

As the main inside player of the US team, Eli still scored 10 points and 8 rebounds when facing Yao Ming, which was impressive.

Then, that was basically the peak of his life.

After entering the NBA, Eli was quickly submerged in the wave of talent.

In the first two years with the Clippers, his performance was basically negligible.

This year he switched to the Bobcats, and even though he averaged 20 minutes of playing time per game, he still failed to achieve decent results.

He averaged 7.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, and as an offensive lineman under the basket, his shooting percentage was only 43.2%.

He can't even get it out in the Bobcats, which means that's all he has.

On the first offense, Oka couldn't wait to sit inside, ready to say "Welcome to the NBA" to Okafor.

He certainly didn't miss, easily ending the Bobcats' run with a turn-over jumper.

It's hard for Okafor. Being a center in the NBA is not his specialty.

In the past dozen games, Okafor has actually been playing the fourth position.

But because the Bobcats' Slovenian center Brezek was injured, Okafor had to step into the fifth position.

This is simply aimed at me, Fat Tiger.

As soon as they came up, the Pacers scored easily.

The Bobcats' offense did not put any pressure on the Pacers.

When Bobcats dribbling guard Jason Hart brought the ball across half court, the Bobcats' offense hadn't even started yet.

Their offense was disorganized, and head coach Bickerstaff didn't say anything.

If you don't show off, how can you show off if you don't keep your composure?

Oh, sorry.

The Bobcat is not a show-off, it’s really a mess

Just like that, Gerald Wallace, who had not yet evolved into "Elvis Presley", missed Artest's jump shot from the mid-range.

Now Wallace only averages 11 points per game, his skills are not comprehensive yet, and he is still a fool who only knows how to run rampant.

Artest likes this kind of player who likes to run rampant.

To put it lightly, the Pacers guarded the Bobcats completely.

When Wayne looked at the sidelines, Carlisle and Mike Brown were chatting about something happy. They were laughing from ear to ear without even looking at the court!

It's not that we don't want to respect the Bobcats, it's that they really don't live up to expectations.

This time, Reggie Miller took action directly after receiving the pass from Anthony Johnson.

Sophomore guard Keith Bogans didn't react at all.

The basketball went into the net and he hit a three-pointer, 5-0.

Wayne:? ? ?

What happened?

I just followed him twice and it was 5-0?

"Emeka!" Wayne couldn't help shouting.

Okafor just glanced at Wayne and did not respond.

"Try hard, what are you doing!? Have you forgotten the battle between us?"

Well, one of the two squirts in Indianapolis, the onmyoji of Bankers Life Arena, and the nightmare in Stoudemire's ears.

At this time, he is motivating the opposing players.

Okafor must work hard. If the game enters garbage time, Wayne will really not be able to restrict Okafor.

As we all know, Okafor is invincible in garbage time.

"Humph, I remember it without you reminding me!" This time, Okafor finally responded.

It seemed that he had regained his fighting spirit.

At that moment, Wayne couldn't be happier. For the first time, he discovered that having an opponent who was too weak was actually a problem.

So in the next attack, Okafor very bravely beat O'Neal in singles with his back.

Oka was a little distracted on defense, so he asked Okafor to turn around and walk to the basket.

Just when the No. 2 overall pick was about to make a layup, a dark shadow No. 91 flashed in.

The moment Okafor lifted the basketball, he did everything accurately!

"Snapped!"

"Ron Artest promptly cut off the ball from Okafor's hand. After preventing Richardson from scoring a goal in a physical game in the last game, the best defensive player showed off his skills again today!"

The on-site commentator applauded, Artest's defense was really active!

Now, Okafor can't even think about scoring!

After Artest intercepted the ball, he thought Wayne would be impressed by him and shed tears of gratitude.

With Wayne under his command, he will really go sideways in the league from now on.

As a result, Artest turned his head and found that something was wrong with Wayne's expression.

"I didn't do anything wrong, right?"

"No, no, you're on good guard, Ron." Wayne replied as he ran forward.

Damn it, you ruined the goal that Okafor was about to score.

This garbage time seems to be definitely coming.

Subsequently, Artest broke through and scored, assisting Wayne to hit a shot from beyond the three-point line.

A wave of 8 to 0 clearly arranged the Bobcats.

"Emeka Okafor has no power to fight back. The Pacers seem to be a little too strong for them." The on-site commentator had only been passionate for a few minutes, and it felt like he had already entered sage mode.

Now, Wayne kind of knew the attendance for this game was so low.

Although there is a gimmick of "Best Rookie Battle", he really doesn't look good in the game!

Charlotte is originally a small ball market. Although the residents here desperately want to have an NBA team of their own, the basics are here.

Coupled with the poor record, it further reduced the enthusiasm of the fans.

Although already behind 0-8, Bickerstaff is still very stable.

He seems to be possessed by a Zen master, calling a timeout means I lose!

0 to 8, where is this? You have never seen a worse beating.

Then, Keith Bogans' jump shot was interfered by Miller again, and the Bobcats still failed to break the scoring drought.

For this Bobcats, Okafor, the highest scorer, only scored 14 or 5 points, and the scoring abilities of the others are well known.

In the latest NBA LIVE 2005 game, only two players of the Bobcats have an ability score above 60, and the overall team rating is only in the 50s.

Now, Wayne felt that this score was too real.

Since it is difficult to prevent the arrival of garbage time, the only way is to let Okafor get as little data as possible now!

As a result, Wayne started a crazy rebounding mode.

Okafor has been able to get double-doubles in 14 consecutive games, mainly because he got a lot of rebounds, especially a lot of offensive rebounds.

So today, among the lazy Pacers, only Wayne turned into a rebounding maniac. He tried his best to grab every rebound.

Even the chance of a floor ball was not left to Okafor.

Looking at Wayne's performance today, Pao'er seemed to experience the horror of being dominated by Wayne again.

Of course, Okafor also knows that he has a record of 14 consecutive double-doubles. He also believes that this is his biggest asset in competing with Wayne.

Wayne's intention today was to break my record.

so bad!

As a result, the duel between Wayne and Okafor gradually went awry.

In the fifth minute of the first quarter, Miller missed a shot. Okafor and Wayne rushed towards the basket at the same time and scrambled together.

In the end, Wayne, who had the advantage in wingspan, grabbed the offensive rebound.

But Wayne did not immediately take a second attack, but passed the ball out again.

Then he had a crazy hand-to-hand fight with Okafor, occupying a favorable position and preparing to fight for rebounds.

Score? Are rebounds more important than scoring?

"When did Wei become so obsessed with rebounding?" Carlisle said he had a lot of questions after reading it.

In the end, at the end of the first quarter, Wayne was stunned not to let Okafor get even a single offensive rebound!

And because the Pacers have a high shooting percentage, the Bobcats don't have many opportunities to grab backcourt rebounds.

In the entire first quarter, Wayne only allowed Okafor to get 2 rebounds!

After the start of the second quarter, the score difference continued to widen, and the Bobcats were about to lose the game without any suspense.

But Wayne is still active!

In the third minute of the second quarter, Okamiss missed a shot and gave Okafor a chance to rebound.

He was so hungry that he rushed towards the backboard.

Even if the team loses by 20 or 30 points today, Okafor's record of consecutive double-doubles cannot be broken!

With this shot, Wayne really didn't have any chance to grab the rebound.

Offensive rebounds are not so easy to grab. After all, not everyone is like a brutal forward who can't afford to get stuck.

However, just when Okafor was about to get the rebound, Wayne, who had no chance to grab the rebound, slapped the ball directly out of bounds.

Okafor:? ? ?

You are crazy!

If I really can’t grab it, I won’t let you grab it either!

"Hey, I'm sorry, my hand slipped." Wayne looked at Okafor's eyes bulging with anger and innocently spread his hands.

I know, I know Wayne is deliberately going against Okafor.

But in the eyes of melon-eating fans, Wayne is called aggressive!

Do you know Dennis Rodman?

It doesn't matter if you don't know him, as long as you know that he is the one who divorced his wife because he couldn't bear it.

Wayne's rebounding today looked like Rodman's.

Obviously he just didn't want Okafor to get data, but he was labeled as aggressive.

It's really hard for Wayne.

As long as you are active, everyone will think that you have the upper hand today.

Therefore, the on-site commentator couldn't help but shout: "Wei created a lot of trouble for Emeka today!"

In fact, the two of them didn't even compete at all.

In this way, throughout the second quarter, there was no time when Okafor was able to comfortably grab a rebound.

By the time the half ended, the Bobcats were already 15 points behind.

Okafor had 6 points and 4 rebounds in the half, which was not too miserable.

On the other hand, Wayne, although he only had 9 points and 5 rebounds in the half, was much better than Okafor on the field.

"If judged by the standards of this game, Wayne will definitely be the best candidate for the Rookie of the Year!"

In the second half, the Bobcats were still being beaten, but the key was that they didn't want to fight back.

The arrival of garbage time is already a certainty.

Wayne also knew that this was his last chance to prevent Okafor from getting a double-double.

When the fourth quarter comes garbage time, Carlisle will definitely not let himself play again.

Well, I have to talk about the positioning of Wayne and Okafor.

Although they are all rookies, Wayne is now an indispensable member of the championship team. Unless Carlisle is smart, he will not risk injury and waste of energy to let Wayne play garbage time.

But Okafor is different. Although he is the core of the Bobcats, the Bobcats have no requirements for record and do not need to consider the playoffs.

So, it doesn’t matter if you waste a little energy during garbage time.

This leads to Okafor having many more opportunities to brush up data in garbage time than Wayne this season!

So in the third quarter, Wayne struggled with Okafor like crazy. Sometimes, the rebound is clearly on his head, but Okafor just can't jump when he is entangled by Wayne.

Then, frantically, Wayne allowed Okafor to get only one rebound in the third quarter!

After being blocked by Wayne while fighting for a rebound and unable to exert force, Okafor cursed angrily and was given a T by the referee on the spot.

I'm in a hurry, the second place is really in a hurry.

Okafor envisioned the battle with Wayne in the NBA: the two sides were at war with each other, and they fought back and forth, but in the end he won the game, successfully avenged himself, smiled slightly, and won the Rookie of the Year.

In fact, the battle between Okafor and Wayne in the NBA: grab, do nothing but grab rebounds with Wayne. Wayne fights you in a hundred ways that will piss you off, but he won't let you take the rebound away.

The Bobcats fans at the scene were quite shocked when they saw Okafor swearing and being called T.

The persona of Mr. Perfect is probably no longer preserved.

Schwartz watched Okafor eat a T and couldn't help but cover his forehead.

I worked hard to package the character for so long, but it was torn apart by my own players.

What is this?

The scene of Okafor being driven into a rage by Wayne will definitely become a famous scene that will be broadcast on all major sports channels the next day.

After three quarters, Wayne walked off the court with 15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

On the other side, Okafor's data was 9 points and 5 rebounds.

Make a decision!

In the fourth quarter, the Pacers, who had already led by 24 points, did not send any more main players to play.

At this time, teacher Sun Zhengping, who was commentating on the game in the CCTV studio, said another famous saying: "There is no suspense in the game, and the Bobcats have also replaced garbage players."

Um? Something seems wrong?

Okafor, who still didn't know that he was being called a trash player, was finally liberated and entered his "invincible realm."

In the fourth quarter, without Wayne, O'Neill and Artest, Okafor's performance did improve a lot.

But unfortunately, the first three quarters were too stretched, and the last 12 minutes were simply not enough.

In the end, Okafor's statistics were only tied with Wayne's, with 15 points and 8 rebounds.

The Bobcats also lost miserably at home, 71-99, with a gap of 28 points.

This is basically the same data as Wayne, which makes Okafor even more embarrassing.

How can you not be embarrassed if you get the same data in the fourth quarter as someone else does in the third quarter?

“At the end of the game, Wei used only three quarters to score the data that Emeka had to play the entire game, interrupting his record of double-doubles in 14 consecutive games.

In this duel, there is no doubt that Wei has the upper hand!

I don’t know how long Emeka can sit at the top of the rookie rankings, but he must be careful. The guy who returned from suspension is extremely eager to take back his throne! "

Listen, even the local commentators in Charlotte feel that it is natural for Wayne to return to the number one spot.

After the game, Okafor returned to the locker room with his head lowered.

Today his statistics plummeted, and he even lost his temper in a rare match. It can be said that he lost completely.

In fact, it is normal to occasionally swear on the basketball court, and Wayne would say one or two in every game.

But the key point is that Okafor had the character of Mr. Perfect before, so it felt inappropriate for him to use foul language.

Wayne, who performed aggressively today (disgusted his opponents), received unanimous praise.

"It is right to do our best on the court. No matter what kind of opponent we face, we must show our best condition. After all, we have to chase many teams in front of us. Working hard is the only option."

You see, even when facing a team like the Bobcats, Wayne never slacks off.

It’s called professional attitude!

This is much higher than Okafor, who only brushes up data during garbage time!

The balance of public opinion gradually tilted towards Wayne, the villain.

Reality is so magical.

In this battle for the best rookie, Okafor undoubtedly suffered a critical blow.

But what Okafor didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.

The real critical attack is actually yet to come.
