I am Really an Insider

It can only be said that Wade still knows Haslem very well.

Before the game, he said that Haslem would not let Wayne score more than 40 points. You see, Haslem guarded Wayne badly today.

It was so miserable that I couldn't even get 40 points, which is really pitiful.

Well, I'm talking about Haslem being pitiful...

18 points in a single quarter in the playoffs does not seem to be an extraordinary statistic in an era when scores are often 40 or 50 points in a single game.

But in this game style that still emphasizes muscle defense, 18 points in a single quarter is already an exaggerated number.

What's more, this is still in the playoffs.

In 2003, Tracy during the Magic era also performed a miracle of 18 points in a single quarter in the playoffs.

But at that time, he was a scoring champion player.

At this time, Wayne was just a first-year rookie.

Therefore, his 18 points in a single quarter are even more exaggerated.

This is also the highest individual scoring record in a single quarter in the playoffs in the history of the Pacers!

In the game when Miller scored 8 points in 8.9 seconds, his score in a single quarter was not that high.

Wayne really made full use of the Tianwang Mountain stage.

The fear created by the God of Death in Yincheng has spread to the west.

When Popovich witnessed Wayne's miracle of 18 points in a single quarter in front of the TV, the old man was still a little panicked.

Although Haslem is indeed unable to match up with Wayne, he is more suitable to deal with the muscular fourth position, so he can fight hard.

There's really no way to prevent Wayne from doing this.

But even so, 18 points in the fourth quarter still made Popovich uneasy.

There are some people who can't do it even if you let them open up.

Take the Heat's Double Jones as an example. If you want to say who has the most opportunities in this series, it is undoubtedly the two of them.

But let alone 18 points in a single quarter, they could score 18 points in a single game, which would make Pat Riley smile.

Therefore, it is one thing that Haslem cannot guard Wayne.

But this guy Wayne does have something of his own.

For some reason, Popovich felt a vague toothache.

How about wearing a mouthguard in the finals?

Or strike first!

The next day, as expected, the battle at Tianwang Mountain was a complete mess.

Of course, all this heat belongs to Wayne alone.

In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, he completely buried the magical Heat No. 3.

Wayne scored 38 points. In terms of scoring, Wade once scored 40 points in a single game.

But because it was the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, people subconsciously believed that Wayne's 38 points were more valuable than Wade's 40 points.

The introduction is the additional effect of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the introduction is the additional bonus of the star touchstone.

Wayne's words in an interview: "The future belongs to Wade."

It has undoubtedly become one of the classic quotes.

Deng Daidai originally wanted to say this to Wayne after winning the finals, but unexpectedly, Wayne beat him to it.

Misstep, misstep.

Many media have stated that Indianapolis has found a real successor to Bird this time.

But Lord Barker believes that Wayne has actually surpassed Bird, at least in the aspect of pretending, he has surpassed Bird.

The reason is simple: "Bird has been beaten even when he pretends to beep, but no one in Wayne dares to fight against the best fighter!"

From this point of view, Wayne really suppressed Bird.

In China, Wayne was almost as famous as Jordan.

"18 points in a single quarter, the strongest rookie since Michael Jordan is born!"

"Wade cried after the game, and the Class of 2003 cried again when he was beaten!"

"Little giant Wayne leads the team to a huge victory over the Heat and heads straight to the finals!"

The domestic media were all outraged, and so were the domestic fans.

Although Yao Ming has played very well in the NBA, he has not made it past the first round of the playoffs.

In the playoffs, they have yet to show a dominant performance.

So Wayne has completely opened the door to a new world for Chinese fans!

Although Battelle once won a championship with the Spurs, he was the first Chinese player to win a championship in the NBA.

But he never played in the playoffs at all and only played a role in training as a "mock shark."

Therefore, buying a champion is not very valuable to Battelle.

If Wayne can enter the finals this time, it will be the first time a Chinese player has entered the finals as a main player. This concept is completely different.

Just think about it, you know what kind of sensation it will cause in China.

Domestic media boast about Mosaic's championship every year, isn't it because there is a market for such boasting and fans are looking forward to it.

Now, Wayne has a chance to fulfill the dream of Chinese fans. Chinese players winning the NBA title will no longer be just a fantasy in newspapers every year.

Now, things are looking up for the Pacers, who just need one more win in Indianapolis to move toward the Finals.

This team will once again attack their championship dream.

As players, they just need to play their game now.

But as the team's general manager, Donnie Walsh has other things to do besides playing.

For example, the draft will start in half a month.

"Daniel Granger? Do you think this guy from the University of New Mexico is worthy of us trading up the draft pick?" Bird looked at the report on his desk, a little confused.

Granger is just a version of Wayne with enhanced athletic ability and reduced height and wingspan.

As of now, Granger is also an all-around forward who can swing at the third and fourth positions, shoot, dunk and defend.

When you enter the NBA, you are either omnipotent or omnipotent.

Same thing as Wayne last year.

In Bird's opinion, Granger can indeed do it, but it's not necessary!

"We should give it a try. Our draft picks this year and the picks Seattle gave us are only at the end of the round. At the end of the round, I don't have any favorite candidates." Walsh spread his hands.

"Isn't Luther Hyde good? Choosing him as a defensive substitute can just supplement our bench depth. Next season, we still don't know whether Reggie will appear in the team's lineup."

"I listened to you last season. It's time to listen to me this season, Larry. I'm really optimistic about him. I think he can become a core player." Walsh's attitude is very determined.

Only now did Bird realize that this smell was wrong, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Co-authored by Walsh, this is not just discussing the draft with himself.

This guy is establishing his status and rights!

You, Bird, have a guy you like in the team, then I have to get rid of him too!

Bird was a little angry. It was agreed that basketball matters would be under my control?

How could you, Old Tang, go back on your promise?

This isn't the first time the two have disagreed.

Well, maybe the two would have gotten along well when Bird was a head coach.

But when Bird really enters the management and truly takes away some of Walsh's rights, disagreements will inevitably arise.

Who doesn't want the team to be built according to their own ideas?

Who wants to have someone around to tie their hands and feet?

Perhaps at the beginning, team owner Herbert Simon hoped that Walsh and Bird could produce a 1+1=2 effect.

But it turns out that the construction of the team management is the same as the construction of the lineup, which is far from simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Walsh has his own set of team building policies, and Bird also has his own methods.

This rift has existed for a long time, and the two had a heated argument last year over whether to choose Wayne.

It's just that the Pacers have performed well in recent years, so the cracks are expanding very slowly.

When the two of them encounter differences, they basically just take a step back and the matter is over.

But now, Bird vaguely feels that even victory cannot stop the speed of their split.

"Okay, I respect your choice, Donnie. At the moment, I just want to focus on the game. We are going to the finals, man. This year, I think we have a good chance."

"That's right Bird, we can definitely win."

"Well, for sure, I won't wait until next time."

After Bird finished speaking, he walked out of the general manager's office door.

Cracks or whatever, put them aside for now.

No matter what, he must first bring a championship trophy to his hometown.

※※※

After the battle at Tianwang Mountain in the East, the Spurs also cleanly defeated the Suns in G5.

This means that the Spurs have advanced to the finals twice in three years and are truly the Western Ivy League.

If you choose the right number one pick, you can do whatever you want.

If we talk about the regular season, D'Antoni wants to tell the league that times have changed.

Then in the playoffs, the Spurs told Mustache: "The times have not changed."

At the American Airlines Center in Phoenix, Suns fans witnessed the moment the Spurs won the Western Conference Championship trophy.

At this point, they can probably understand Ray Allen's anger.

In this round of the series, Bruce Bowen, although he did not take any tricks on Nash, he still made a lot of small moves.

Nash was kicked, elbowed, and viciously charged. Fortunately, he finished this series safely.

Watching Bowen, a guy with a lot of misdeeds, grandly win the Western Conference championship trophy, Phoenix fans felt quite uncomfortable.

Nash won the MVP, but lost the chance to compete for the championship.

If possible, he might rather trade the MVP for a ticket to the finals.

At the press conference after the award ceremony, most reporters asked Popovich questions related to the finals.

Since it is related to the finals, the Pacers and Wayne must not be skipped.

"The Pacers are now leading the Heat 3-2. What do you think their chances of reaching the Finals are?"

"I only care about my own game, my friend."

"So, if you had to choose, which opponent would you rather face?"

"No matter who we face, we will give it our all."

Popovich's attitude made reporters very angry.

After all, he is a veteran, and Popovich knows very well what should be said and what should not be said.

Popovich dealt with it easily, but when an Indiana reporter stood up, the smile disappeared from the old man's face.

"Craig, are you afraid of Wei? Why do you avoid talking about similar issues?"

"Me? Fear Wei? His dirty deeds may scare others, but they don't scare me." Popovich pretended to be calm. In fact, he felt that his teeth had begun to hurt. This question was too immersive. Stronger!

That’s right, I’m just afraid of meeting Wayne!

It’s not that I’m timid, it’s mainly that guy Wayne… whoever it is would be panicked!

"Dirty? Are you talking about dirty deeds like Bruce Bowen's?" Yincheng reporters kept asking, saying that he deliberately caused trouble today.

"Bruce's defensive style is just like this, and I am also satisfied with his defensive style."

Well, you can never wake up an old double standard.

"What's so dirty about Wei? Just because Bowen accidentally knocked out your tooth because of Bowen's failure? In the final analysis, it was Bowen who moved his hand first, er, his foot!"

Bowen: I rely on my skills to make a living, why can’t I do that?

Popovich did not continue to answer, but stood up directly and left the press conference.

Popovich may be the first in history to leave the game angrily just after winning the conference championship.

Winning this Western Conference championship is really heartbreaking.

Of course, this is not the most worrying thing.

Because one day later, in Indianapolis, the most worrying thing for Popovich was happening.

After experiencing a major blow in the Battle of Tianwangshan, the Heat did not rise up and fight back two games in a row as Miami fans imagined.

After experiencing setbacks, they felt somewhat lacking in stamina.

In Game 6, Wade was completely lost and lost all the energy he had before.

Eddie Jones also lost his touch and failed to assume the responsibility of being the second scoring point.

It is estimated that after this game, Wade and Shaq will start complaining that Eddie is too soft to fight tough battles.

In the original history, wasn't this how Eddie walked?

The entire Heat's offense can only be supported by the old shark.

We all know how difficult it was for the Heat on the offensive end today.

Shaq played so hard today that Barkley even joked: "He may have to lose 10 pounds after this game."

Under O'Brien's tight defense, Shaq took 18 shots, the most in the series, and scored a double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds. He captured the shadow of his former self and achieved the second place in the regular season MVP.

But Wade and Eddie Jones were too much behind. Today, the Heat's shooting percentage as a team was only 40.6%, and their three-point shooting percentage was only 23.1%.

Wade and Jones have to bear the main responsibility for such a low shooting percentage.

Shaq did his best, teammate CBA.

Kobe thinks this is the best playoff game he has seen this year!

Shaq, Shaq, you are right, Wade is indeed better than me.

Even blacksmithing is better than mine!

"Hmph, go ahead and regret it, Shaq. It's no use even if your intestines are green with regret. You have lost me forever! Live your whole life with your brother Wei!"

The arrogant Kobe Bryant didn’t make it to the playoffs, but Honey confidently thinks Shaq will miss him after reaching the conference finals.

The game was over in the third quarter, because the Pacers already led the Heat by 22 points at that time.

The entire fourth quarter was almost garbage time.

The Yincheng fans also became restless.

After five years, the Eastern Conference champion returns to Indianapolis!

This year, there are no Pistons causing trouble, no heartbreaking losses.

This team is in perhaps its peak form, launching an impact towards the O'Brien Cup.

"This time, there were no surprises! The Indiana Pacers ended the game cleanly at home. 4-2, the Pacers successfully advanced!

This also means that the Spurs VS Pacers finals that we have been waiting for for a long time is about to take place! "

Popovich looked at the Pacers players holding the Eastern Conference championship trophy on the TV, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

A bad fate, simply a bad fate!

When Wayne watched Bird in a suit lift the Eastern Conference championship trophy above his head, he couldn't help but cheer like everyone else.

Although it is only a division championship, it is still a championship, so I must be very happy!

But just as he was about to reach out to take the championship trophy, there was a sudden sound in his ears.

After many days, work finally started again!

Wayne quickly called up the mission interface and took a look.

This time it was exciting.

This mission reward is actually related to Dudu!
