I am Really an Insider
Chapter 170 167: Pat Riley’s concerns, 55 wins reward received (4.7K votes requested)
Fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills gritted their teeth.
He doesn't live up to expectations with this piston!
The game only reached the middle of the third quarter, and they were already almost 10 points behind.
On the Pacers' side, except for Wu Sheng, their offensive efficiency is actually very average.
Wayne's shooting percentage today is less than 50%.
But the Pistons' offense stretched his hips even more!
Among the starting five, apart from Billups, there is no one with a shooting percentage of 40%.
Attacking the crotch, we are serious!
Especially Ben, Wayne almost burst into laughter watching him use various postures under the basket.
Hamilton is away, and Lindsay Hunter has no offensive ability. So shouldn't the free shooting rights be evenly distributed to the remaining four people?
How has Ben ever suffered such a crime? If you let me keep hitting the basket like this, you might as well kill me!
As for Tianzun, it was extremely quiet today, so quiet that Wayne began to feel that the game was a bit boring.
"Hey Rasheed, why aren't you talking today?" This time, when the Pistons came up again, Wayne, who was behind Rasheed, didn't stop talking.
Tianzun glanced at Wayne with disgust, then ran out to help Billups pick and roll.
Hearth used the screen to break through, and Wayne immediately defended and helped Payton block the Pistons' true core.
It was really wise to choose to add some traverse speed before!
Seeing this, Billups made a ground pass and sent the ball to Tianzun who was cutting in.
Wayne immediately turned his gun and rushed toward his old friend. When Tianzun went for a layup, he was strongly blocked by Wayne!
Under fierce physical confrontation, Tianzun's layup failed again.
Wayne immediately took off twice to grab the rebound, and then ran away again!
"Wo Cao, isn't this guy tired?" The panting Tianzun hurried to follow him. He was almost dying after running back and forth like this.
As soon as Wayne crossed the midfield line, he passed the ball to Wu Sheng, who was rushing at the front.
Wu Sheng faced Lindsay Hunter and forced a layup.
As a player with forward height, it is not easy for Wu Sheng to beat Hunter.
Hunter tried hard to raise his hands, but still couldn't stop Jackson from scoring.
At 11 points, the Detroit Pistons held on for so long, but the point difference was still widened.
"What to do, what to do, what to do, I'm so panicked, what should I do if we really encounter the playoffs? It's over, it's over, it won't really be over this time. The key is there is really no way, what else can we do?
Carlisle is sitting across from me, whose peaches should I pick? "Larry Brown was sitting on the bench, looking very calm on the surface, but actually quite panicked.
"How about contacting the Knicks later and yo-yo next season? Anyway, they are interested in giving me a big contract."
Well, you think Larry Brown cares about the Pistons, but actually he cares more about his own money.
I am Larry Brown, but my talent has been reduced to a place like Detroit!
Therefore, people were surprised to find that when the Pistons fell behind by 11 points, Larry Brown was still sitting on the bench and had no intention of calling a timeout.
"Oh? Coach Larry Brown is very calm! As expected of a championship coach, he is full of confidence in his team!" the Detroit commentator on the scene said.
"Rashid, speak up, what's wrong with you?" After high-fiving with Wu Sheng in celebration, Wayne returned to Tianzun and continued his diplomatic offensive.
"Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a cold? Oh, I heard you were so awesome before. I thought the defending champion wouldn't catch a cold."
Tianzun's fists are trembling. Who can help me get rid of this idiot? Anyone!
At this time, a basketball suddenly flew towards Tianzun.
But Tianzun was distracted by Wayne's thoughts, so his reaction was half a beat slow.
Just like that, the basketball flew out of bounds, and the Pistons committed a turnover without confrontation.
"Rashid, focus, man!" Billups clapped his hands. To be honest, he is now more of a coach than Larry Brown.
Larry Brown is already wondering where in New York he wants to buy a house. What? Pistons made a mistake? When did it happen?
"Rashid, do you want me to remember this as the defending champion?" Wayne shrugged at Tianzun and then picked up the basketball.
I have to say, this "long-lasting delay" is really awesome!
It's not that Wayne isn't tired at all now, but he does feel that his physical condition is much better than usual.
Sure enough, for men, durability is really important!
Artest is simply a treasure boy, and his badges are so valuable.
"What just happened?" Billups asked Tianzun after retreating from the Pistons side.
"It's nothing, I was disturbed by that guy's trash talk. It's okay, I won't do it next time." Tianzun waved his hand and waited for the fourth quarter. If you can't survive the fourth quarter, I'll deal with you again!
Eh? Have I said something similar before?
Then, the game came to the fourth quarter.
"Rashid, why are you so weak? You are 13 points behind. Aren't you worried at all?"
Wayne, who was pressed against Tianzun, kept mouthing.
Carlisle was speechless off the court. Is Wayne speechless?
"Oh, I'll use this ball to shut you up!"
Tianzun was really angry. In order to avoid Wayne's chip shot, he made a shoulder shake this time, and then turned over and shot a jumper.
I don’t know if I can get in or not, but the posture is indeed quite handsome.
The goal was not missed or risked, but it was also not scored.
Tianzun is really too tired!
Today I was pushed too hard by Wayne on the offensive end, which consumed a lot of energy.
Decreased physical strength means that offensive stability will also be greatly reduced.
Before Rashid could react after his shot landed, Wayne ran up again.
Tianzun:? ? ?
Damn it, it's already the fourth quarter, and he's still running so fast! ?
You really bullied me for being over 30!
Wayne rushed directly to the right corner, believing that Payton could see him.
Some people develop a tacit understanding by spraying each other.
Sure enough, as soon as Wayne got into position in the right corner, Payton swung the ball over.
This counterattack didn't give the Pistons a chance to play positional defense.
At this time, Tianzun and Big Ben were still left behind, and only the little prince rushed back during the Pistons half.
Once again, the little prince had to guard against Wayne.
When Wayne saw Prince chasing him, he didn't hesitate at all.
I heard you have a long wingspan? That's all I think.
Wayne shot steadily, and when Rasheed rushed back to the basket, he had no choice but to pick the ball up from the ground.
Wayne hit another three-pointer. Today he is 3 of 4 from beyond the three-point line!
"The score difference continued to widen, and coach Larry Brown finally called a timeout. I just don't know if this timeout will come too late."
The entire Auburn Hills Palace Stadium was silent. I thought that the Pacers would let Artest and the Pistons would let a masked man. The strength of both sides should be about the same.
However, it's not almost the same, it's far different.
Without Hamilton, the Pistons couldn't even find a player who could score consistently.
At this point, Rashid was panting.
He promised that at the end of the fourth quarter, when Wayne is exhausted, he will make that bastard pay the price!
The end of the fourth quarter came quickly, and the Pistons were still 13 points behind despite Billups' unremitting efforts.
Well, if it weren't for Billups, the point difference would have been less than 20 points.
At this time, there are only 3 minutes left in the game. In this era, chasing 13 points in 3 minutes is still not easy.
As soon as Rasheed approached the three-point line, Wayne came up to him with a smile.
Tianzun wants to cry but has no tears. I am really scared to death of Wayne today!
Do you know that you are a strong person?
"Hey, Rasheed, it's time for you to show your strength as the defending champion."
"Just today, just today!" Tianzun replied angrily.
Then, there is no more.
Tianzun is now stuck by Wayne and cannot move at all!
Wayne actually didn't notice that he was more aggressive on the defensive end today than before.
Because of the enduring badge, Wayne has unconsciously increased his intensity on the defensive end.
After all, it’s obvious that you’re tired, so you can only use force.
Seeing Billups being prevented from passing the ball by Payton, Tianzun was worried.
Now, he was the only one who could help the fireplace.
Therefore, Tianzun pushed Wayne away, then ran back and cut inside.
Billups indeed had superb passing vision and delivered the ball to Tianzun immediately.
Tianzun smiled, and after waiting for a whole time, it was finally time to deal with Wayne!
Tianzun ran straight towards the basket and took off for a layup!
On the bench, Carlisle covered his mouth and showed a surprised expression like Jim Kelly.
This guy is such a short jumper!
Thanks to Wayne's hand-to-hand combat, Tianzun was severely exhausted at this time.
So he didn't know that his jumping height had become much shorter than usual.
Tianzun raised the basketball in joy, but unexpectedly, a black shadow struck from behind.
"No"
"Snapped!"
The basketball made a crisp sound and was slapped away by Wayne.
"What a risk. Wayne defended Rasheed's attack. God, the Pistons are in really bad shape. Their offense today was simply no offense."
Wayne looked at Tianzun, shook his head as if disappointed, and then pointed out four fingers.
"It's 4-0. You haven't won a game this regular season. Oh, no." At this point, Wayne pointed out one finger and spread his fingers.
"And in that fight, you also lost. So, 5 to 0!"
Tianzun is really going to explode. In fact, Tianzun's tolerance for trash talk is quite strong. But when Wayne talks trash to him, the meaning is different!
How can I bear this! ?
At this time, Ben walked up to Rashid and patted him on the back: "Forget it, Artest is not here today. We may not be able to defeat anyone."
Artest on the bench smiled: How do you feel when you hear my name?
Only then did Rashid give up. A man is capable of bending and stretching!
Wait a moment, the game is not waiting for a while.
From the third quarter to the fourth quarter, from the fourth quarter to the end of the game, Rashid waited and found that he had lost completely.
"Waiting for the playoffs, waiting for the playoffs, I will definitely deal with Wayne!" Tianzun then said to himself.
In this way, a game that was obviously very important to the Pistons ended hastily.
The score became 96 to 81, and the Pacers won.
The Pistons made 28 of 70 shots from the field, Little Prince made 4 of 12 shots, Big Ben made 3 of 12 shots, and Tianzun made 1 of 8 shots.
It's really just defense that wins the championship, because they can't win with offense.
For the Pacers, Wayne scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, completely destroying Tianzun!
Now, everyone believes that it is not a rumor that Wayne defeated Tianzun when he was in college.
Larry Brown stood up and began to seriously consider the possibility of the Pistons reaching the Finals this season.
Even if they get past the Pacers, there will still be a Heat this year.
The bonus left by Carlisle has almost been used up, and it’s really time to run away.
Wayne looked at the silent Tianzun, feeling a little disappointed.
Kobe is still fun, at least he can fight with you for 48 minutes.
But don't tell me, Artest's badge is really good.
If you upgrade early, you can rely on physical strength to defeat those who cannot be beaten with physical strength.
Like being dumb or something.
At this point, the Pacers swept the regular season 4-0 against the Pistons, their bitter rival in last season's Eastern Conference finals.
Reggie Miller, who scored 18 points in the game, said at the press conference: "Indianapolis' moment is finally here."
All Pacers players are looking forward to one thing now - a championship!
Pat Riley felt the pressure at this time. In the remaining regular season games, the Heat and Pacers will have two chances to play against each other.
This time, with an attitude of disregarding death, try the depth of the walker!
On the other side, at the Pistons' press conference, Rasheed remained silent.
"Rashid, you said before the game that you wanted to remind the Pacers who the defending champion is. Do you think they remembered it?"
Poof, a blood.
"Today you played very awkwardly on the offensive end. You only scored one goal in a sports match in the whole game. Can you tell me what happened?"
Phew, double kill.
"Rashid, based on today's performance, does it mean that Wei really defeated you in college?"
Bang, a critical hit!
The roaring Tianzun was particularly silent today.
※※※
Sweeping the Pistons in the regular season + Miller's championship declaration after the game boosted the Pacers' morale.
So after the game with the Pistons, the Pacers, without Artest, defeated two bad teams, the Bulls and Bucks, and won 51 games.
The goal of 55 wins was already very close, but in the last game in March, O'Brien blocked Wayne's way.
How can you describe how well the Heat played this game? It can basically be said to be lawless.
Wei Wei scored 37 points, and Damon Jones exploded, making 5 of 5 three-pointers and scoring 27 points. The Blue Eyed Fat Shark also scored 24 points, beating the Pacers hard.
Although Artest's defensive effect on Wade is not very good, without him, it is really impossible to guard him.
The Heat handed the Pacers their 20th loss of the season and consolidated their first place in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat really don't want to give up their No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference.
Because in the first round, whether they were playing against the Nets, who were not getting along well, or the Cavaliers, who were playing against James, they were better than playing against Philadelphia, the No. 3 who could always support a team by himself.
What's more, now the 76ers have got Webber. Although Webb's performance in Philadelphia is not very good so far, what if he will explode if he fails to make the playoffs?
Therefore, the Heat's victory can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Wayne is also depressed. The day of winning 55 games will be delayed again.
But in the next four games, facing a schedule like the Wizards, Knicks, Cavaliers, and Wizards, the Pacers won another four consecutive games!
Well, it also completed the sweep of Youzhan this season.
There is no need to mention too much about the legend of the 2003 killer. In these four games, the most valuable victory was not against the Cavaliers, but two of them against the Wizards.
Especially in the second meeting between the two sides, the Pacers only allowed Arenas to score 14 points and the shooting rate was only 29.4%!
Has Stephen Jackson suddenly become stronger? No, it was Wayne who really covered the entire half of the defense!
Wayne was extremely active today, as if he was playing in the final tiebreaker of the finals.
As a result, Arenas really experienced what "Win or Rain, Wayne is waiting for you on the defensive end" at the Bankers Life Arena.
No matter where he goes, Wayne will interfere with him!
This is also due to Jamison's season reimbursement. If Jamison is here, Wayne will definitely not be so free on the defensive end.
After all, Jamison also has range and can open up space.
But now, the Wizards, who are full of injuries, can only use Michael Ruffin to play the starting four position!
This second-round pick in 1999 is averaging 1.4 points per game with the Wizards this season!
There are no shots, and even free throws are useless.
He can't eat cakes, and he's not very good at flying either.
His only bright spot is rebounding, especially offensive rebounds, which he is very active in.
But if I give you a rebound, it won’t be of any use to you!
So Wayne really boldly let Ruffin go short today and went all out to supplement Arenas.
No one can delay his 55-win reward any longer!
In this way, Agent 0 became addicted to blacksmithing in the big cornfield and lost himself.
And Ruffin also told everyone with his 6-point performance in a single game when he was basically unmarked - I really can't score.
After the game, Wayne looked at the rewards in the system backpack and was so excited that he almost hugged Arenas and cheered.
Your shooting percentage today is so impressive, General!
The last upgrade before the playoffs is finally here!
Wayne now has to work hard to upgrade which badge to the purple level in order to have the greatest effect in the playoffs.
