I am Really an Insider

When being interviewed by reporters after the game, Rasheed Wallace also experienced the feeling of being a giant and being stepped on by others.

"Rashid, is Wei's defense that strong? Do you really have no chance at all?"

Wallace glared at the reporter and wanted to yell at him.

Are you asking this question? ?

But there is no way, who made his shooting percentage so low today? Being criticized is inevitable.

"We have just finished the first game of the series. It is too early to discuss who will lose and who will win." Tianzun replied angrily.

"But I'm not talking about winning or losing. I just want to know, is Wei's defense really that strong? Is there really nothing you can do?" The reporter persisted and had no intention of saving face for Tianzun.

"Nah!" Rashid glanced at the reporter in front of him, but found that the other person's eyes showed no fear at all.

I encountered a tough situation today.

Nonsense, reporters from Indianapolis, can they be gentle to the Pistons players?

How did the Detroit media mock the Pacers after they lost last season?

A meal of soft egg + country bumpkin was arranged.

Now, all Yincheng reporters must be found!

This is not only a war between two teams, but also a war between two cities!

"Wei's defense was pretty good today, but that's about it."

After Tianzun finished speaking, he almost vomited.

I was actually forced to praise Wayne!

You reporters are so vicious!

Angry, aggrieved and helpless, Rasheed's mood at this time was a true portrayal of the psychology of the entire Pistons team.

If they had lost a few more points today, the Pistons probably wouldn't have been that uncomfortable.

But we lost in the last few rounds. This feeling of having hope but seeing it dashed was even more uncomfortable than having no hope at all.

If it weren't for Wayne's difficult pull-up jump shot, it would be Wayne's fault!

"It's all Wayne's fault!" Larry Brown also said the same to the players in the locker room.

"Without Wei, I think we should have won the first game."

Old Brown looked at his players and found that they seemed to agree with his words.

Because everyone has anger on their faces.

Just be angry. If you are not angry, how can you mobilize your emotions? How did I fool you?

"So, in the next game, I want you to be tough, to irritate him, to stimulate him! Do you understand what I mean?"

Old Larry pushed up his glasses. There was no anger in the eyes behind the lenses, only a cold light.

Everyone on the Pistons, you look at me and I look at you, and you seem to understand something.

Do Hall of Fame coaches have to be perfect?

Do not make jokes.

There are no perfect people in this world.

What's more, he's just a basketball coach.

In order to win, Larry Brown actually doesn't care much about means.

If you can't beat him and can't get him to join, then just let him disappear.

In fact, aren't most of the old-school coaches in the league like this?

Which one of Popovich and George Karl is good?

They have all carved out their own world in the basketball world, but they also all have bad behaviors of one kind or another.

It's just that they were all overshadowed by victory.

victory.

In the world of competitive sports, victory can cover up everything.

Larry Brown knows this.

Using vicious trash talk and little tricks, he lured Wayne into committing a foul, forced him to have sex, and got him ejected.

Of course Larry Brown knew this was not an aboveboard move, but so what?

If he wins, people will only call him a champion coach.

After Larry Brown finished speaking, he got up and went to the players' tunnel.

Because his phone rang, and it was from Knicks general manager Isaiah Thomas.

It was a call that was inconvenient for the players to hear.

"Hey, Isaiah."

"Sorry Larry, you are just one point away from victory. I said, the Pacers are a tough team." Although Isaiah Thomas said sorry, his tone seemed to be very happy.

"We will come back, no matter what."

"Of course I believe in your ability, Larry. By the way, how have you considered the contract?" Isaiah Thomas called, not just for greetings.

That's right, as the general manager of the Knicks, he is poaching a championship coach who is preparing to lead the team to the championship!

What's even more surprising is that Larry Brown also had a very harmonious conversation with the Knicks without telling the team management.

His heart is all about the big contract offered by the Knicks.

"I think it's pretty good. If nothing else happens, I will coach my hometown team next season."

At this time, Billups came out and wanted to discuss some details of the game with Larry Brown.

But as soon as I found Brown, I heard what he just said, "If nothing else happens, I will coach my hometown team next season."

"What are you doing Larry? We're in the fucking Eastern Conference semifinals and we're down 1-0!"

Billups became anxious instantly and swore at his coach.

To be honest, Billups could understand Brown leaving for money.

New York is a big city and there's a lot of exposure there.

Billups didn't expect Larry Brown to stay in Detroit for the rest of his life.

But, can we wait until the end of the season to think about these damn things?

The most important thing now is to unite as one and fight against the enemy together, right?

A coach, after losing such a crucial game, is negotiating a coaching contract with another team.

What does this make Billups think?

In fact, earlier this year, when the Pistons went to New York for an away game, Larry Brown was caught meeting with the Knicks owner, which caused some criticism within the team.

It's just that as time goes by, the impact is slowly diluted.

Billups never imagined that Larry Brown would still be thinking about the Knicks' big contract at this moment.

You are too scumbag.

"As you can see, I'm negotiating with the Knicks." Larry Brown didn't make any secrets. He didn't really care what his players thought.

If he cared, he wouldn't have benched Milicic for two full seasons.

Billups must admit that although Detroit won the championship after Larry Brown arrived, he had wanted to fight Brown countless times.

"We're in the fucking Eastern Conference semifinals, and we're down 1-0, Larry." Billups had no choice but to emphasize the point.

"I know, you just have to do your thing, Chauncey."

After saying that, Brown continued to pick up the phone in front of Billups: "Isaiah, are you still there?"

Billups was furious. He felt that Larry Brown was no longer on the same front as the Pistons.

He originally came to discuss the details of the game with Brown, but now, he doesn't want to say a word to Brown.

"We can do without him!"

Billups thought so in his mind.

※※※

Billups did not tell his teammates about Larry Brown's contract negotiations with the Knicks during the playoffs. He did not want to affect the atmosphere in the team's locker room.

Billups has no control over where Brown goes.

He just wants to finish this year's playoffs and strive for two consecutive championships, that's all.

While the Pistons were experiencing a crisis of trust between the head coach and the players, on the Pacers side, Wayne indeed went to attend a press conference again.

Before this, most people thought that no matter who won the Rookie of the Year award between Okafor and Wayne, the gap would be very small.

But the final voting results surprised everyone.

"Wei alone won 61% of the first-place votes, while Emeka Okafor only had 34.1%. The remaining four candidates shared the remaining 5% of the first-place votes. Although Wei was not elected unanimously, En’s vote rate is also quite terrifying!”

At the press conference, the Pacers' press officer announced the voting data to reporters.

To be honest, Wayne was quite surprised.

He thought that his first-place votes might only account for about 45%.

Under normal circumstances, the first-place vote can account for 45%, and you can basically win the award.

The result was 61%.

It's like 6 people competing for 100 tickets. In the end, Wayne got 61 tickets alone, and the rest had to be divided among five people.

We all know how popular Wayne is, and how far apart other people are from him.

Okafor's double-double per game was just buried.

After all, there is no judging criteria for the Rookie of the Year Award. It does not mean that if you can average a double-double per game, you will definitely win the award.

Wayne's exposure and popularity this season are far greater than Okafor's, so it makes sense to get more votes.

The worst thing is actually not Okafor. His 34% of the votes is already a lot.

The worst one is the champion Happy Beast.

Also averaging a double-double, he only accounted for 1.23% of the votes, which is a bit miserable.

A group of high-ranking rookies were defeated by Wayne, the 12th overall pick.

After Okafor saw the results, he found that he was not as discouraged as he thought.

A year ago, he just wanted to fight to the death with Wayne and get back what he lost in college in the NBA.

But since the All-Star break, Okafor has become convinced of Wayne.

Wayne has shown strength and leadership that even Okafor can be ashamed of.

Moreover, Wayne's behavior of sharing the rookie game MVP with the whole team also made Okafor's hostility towards Wayne less strong.

Therefore, although Okafor was still a little disappointed when he lost the election this time, he was not particularly sad.

He had expected this result.

how to say?

Now, Wayne has escaped the circle of competing with rookies.

Now it's players like Duncan, Garnett, and Rasheed Wallace who have headaches because of Wayne.

Wayne is also competing against players like this.

Okafor? Howard?

They are no longer on the same page as Wayne.

Wayne's competition is a level higher than theirs.

When Wayne wants to compete with rookies again, it will be a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

Olajuwon also scored a double-double in his rookie season that year, and his data were an exaggerated 20.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.7 blocks.

The results of it? Michael Jordan is the best rookie.

No matter how miserable Okafor is, can he be as miserable as Olajuwon?

So, just accept the facts with peace of mind.

Amid the applause of the crowd, Wayne held up the transparent Rookie of the Year trophy, an honor that can only be obtained once in a lifetime.

In his rookie season alone, Wayne scored two personal honors.

This has led many people to include Wayne in the category of "supernova".

To put it bluntly, it is a "superstar reserve".

After receiving the trophy, Wayne was indeed a little happier than last time.

After all, the best sixth man does not have a 1 million bonus clause, but the best rookie does.

As a guy who was enjoying free pizza from his teammates the year before last Christmas, it would be false to say that Wayne has no feelings for money anymore.

Tony: All you remember is the pizza!

Wayne won the Rookie of the Year, which also filled the regrets of Chinese fans.

Because that year, Yao Ming was only 5% of the votes away from the best rookie.

But now, Chinese fans no longer have to regret this.

After winning the Rookie of the Year award, Wayne invited his teammates to his house for a night of fun.

Of course, there was no wine or sweets, just getting together to play cards and blow beeps.

Everyone has not forgotten their goals for this year.

The next day, still at Bankers Life Arena, it was still Pistons VS Pacers.

As soon as today's game started, Wayne noticed something was wrong.

From the beginning, Tianzun blatantly gave Wayne a big elbow when he was on defense.

Tianzun may talk a little too much and roar too loudly.

But in fact, he rarely takes action directly.

To put it bluntly, I'm still a bit timid.

But as soon as I started today, I went straight to the practical stuff!

Wayne doesn't know if this guy took dynamite or something. Are you jealous that I won the Rookie of the Year award?

Even if I don’t take it, you can’t take it!

Don’t look at how old you are!

shameless!

But later Wayne discovered that not only Tianzun, but the entire Pistons seemed to be targeting him!

Does that make him a public enemy?

Pushing, elbowing, punching, trash talking

To be honest, Larry Brown admires Wayne's psychological quality.

When a serious rookie encounters this kind of situation, his mentality has already collapsed, and he will probably go back to his mother in tears.

Refer to Milicic who is sitting on the Pistons bench at this time.

But Wayne has been gritting his teeth and persevering and enduring.

Never did anything out of the ordinary.

But the more this happens, the more blatant the Pistons become. He even extended his magic grip to other people.

Finally, in the middle of the second quarter, when Big Ben used a very rough collision to knock out the old Payton who was driving for a layup, Wayne rushed in front of Big Ben and cursed.

Colton suddenly perked up.

When other people make noise, it's just a joke.

When Wayne goes up there, the nature will be different!

This is the first time in two games that Wayne has personally participated in the brawl!

"Wei appeared in front of Ben Wallace. He stood between Payton and Ben. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ben's foul just now!"

Well, Wayne himself was violated so badly in the first quarter that he didn't explode.

This time his teammates suffered a loss, but Wayne exploded.

In some ways, Larry Brown quite likes Wayne.

It's a pity that they are enemies now!

The guy who was most likely to take action finally came to an end.

People around the world held their breath.

Only Larry Brown was gearing up. For the first time in his life, he was so eager to get beaten.

Moreover, it’s the kind of person who gets beaten without fighting back.

The third update is here, still 1.3W.
