Chapter 99 096: Not a serious rookie (4K, please subscribe and vote monthly)
This time the Pacers still chose to let Ou play alone inside, but LaFrentz, who originally needed to double-team immediately, hesitated.
Wayne's three-pointer just now was pretty good. If you let him go, he wouldn't be thanked again, right?
"Execute the plan, why are you dazed, River!"
At this time, Wayne heard a unique drake voice.
Rivers was unhappy with LaFrentz's defense.
Why do you care about a rookie? Go and defend the person who ranks third in the MVP rankings!
Who among the serious rookies can kill the game?
LaFrentz had no choice but to retreat to the penalty area and continue to double-team.
So, the Pacers repeated their old tricks, and Ou once again gave the ball outside the three-point line.
"These Celtics really don't believe in evil!" Director Zhang quits the game commentary job. Who do you look down on?
But this time, Wayne did not get an easy shot after receiving the ball. LaFrentz kept an eye out and turned around and ran back to Wayne the moment O'Brien passed the ball.
Although he was a little embarrassed running around, I have to say that his defense was flawless this time!
"Hey, I think you're at your wits end, little rookie." LaFrentz raised his arms high and thought to himself, at the same time Payton came over, ready to snatch the basketball from Wayne's hands.
It would be even more perfect if he could give Wayne an elbow at the moment of the steal.
However, Wayne didn't panic and make the mistake.
Facing the 2nd place pick in 1998 and Payton, who was not easy to mess with, he calmly tossed the ball gently and gently lobbed the ball to O'Neal, who was still trying to find his position in the low post.
Wayne passed the ball just right, allowing O'Brien to catch it very comfortably.
"Wei lobbed the ball to the basket. The Pacers played very patiently. Wei and Jermaine's small-scale cooperation was impressive!"
Wayne's clear-thinking passing earned him praise from the on-site commentators.
If Yao Ming had seen this ball, he would have shed tears.
Chairman Yao: Tomatoes, why don’t I have a partner like this at position 4 by my side? I can't even catch the ball, I can't even catch the ball!
When O'Brien received the basketball again, the double-team around him had been completely broken by Wayne.
There is no doubt about Wayne's tactical deterrence.
Singled out Mark Blount, this is simply giving away points for Xiao Ou.
Sitting back hard, Xiao Ao opened up a little space for himself.
Then, he very nimbly took a turn-over jumper and scored the ball steadily.
Wayne looked at Xiao Ao's back attack and was really a little envious.
How chic, how elegant, how handsome.
He is indeed the man who ranked third in the MVP rankings last season.
How about stealing some of Xiao Ao's badges?
After O'Brien scored, he immediately pointed at Wayne to express his gratitude.
All the Pacers players applauded, but Artest on the side shook his head: "Don't think that your relationship with Wayne is good. In the final analysis, his best brother is still me!"
Rivers was a little panicked now. Wayne's role is far more than just shooting three-pointers.
That No. 99 is like a defender whether he is shooting or assisting! His partnership with O'Neal Jr. complements each other perfectly.
It’s difficult.
After one round, Xiao Ao continued to make mistakes in the three-second zone. This time, he flexibly turned his back to break through Blount and scored with a one-handed dunk.
Without double-teaming, Xiao Ao could do whatever he wanted in the three-second zone.
Exploded, exploded, the Celtics basket exploded.
Payton almost exploded because No. 99 really beeped too much!
"That's it, Jermaine, it's so easy to dunk. It's the devil's home field. We have the final say on their home court!"
When Wayne said these words, he never took his eyes off Payton.
That's right, it's you!
Payton was really convinced and scored a goal with O'Brien, but you finished it all by yourself?
On the Pacers bench, Carlisle smiled like Jim Kelly.
The inside combination of Wayne and Xiao Ou is indeed very useful!
Wayne's instruction manual was updated by Carlisle.
After Wayne and Artest continued the pick-and-roll, the Pacers also had one more killer move.
At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics trailed the Pacers by 8 points.
Among them, Pierce made only 1 of 4 shots. Artest really locked down the leading scorer of Green Kai.
If it weren't for Ricky Davis who really felt great today and scored 9 points in a single quarter, Green Kai would have fallen behind by double digits in the first quarter.
For the Pacers, Wayne scored 3 points and 3 assists, all 3 assists dedicated to O'Brien.
O'Neal scored 11 points in a single quarter, beating the Celtics inside.
Although Wayne only scored one goal, he made the Celtics defense miserable.
His tactical role is far more obvious than the data seems.
In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Wayne also followed the main players off the field and took a rest.
This means that in the second quarter of the game, Wayne will continue to play as the starting four!
In the end, the 8-point difference was maintained until the end of the first quarter, and Lukai was in danger.
During the break, "Chicken Soup Master" Rivers couldn't believe that he was caught off guard by Carlisle, who was known for his rigidity, with a temporary change of formation!
Rivers also knows that if O'Neal cannot be solved, this game will be difficult to play.
Right now, Pierce's scoring is blocked and the Celtics must start from the defensive end.
"In the second quarter, remember, double-team O'Neal. Don't worry about Wei. If he wants to shoot, let him shoot. Just interfere occasionally!"
Rivers made a prompt decision and chose to let Wayne go in this multiple-choice question.
Isn't the answer obvious? The player who ranked third in the MVP rankings last season and a rookie would choose this way no matter who they were.
Moreover, Wayne played lively in the first quarter, and he only scored one goal.
Don't be afraid!
At this time, Payton suddenly sat next to Teacher Tony, startling Tony.
Isn't it? If you get angry on the court, you still have to take it out on me?
As a result, Payton said perhaps the most tender words to Tony yet.
"That Wei, was he such a good trash talker in college?"
"This" was not sprayed by Peyton, but Tony was still a little uncomfortable with it.
"As far as I know, he didn't seem to like to talk trash much when he was in college."
"Really? It seems that the guys from the Pacers taught him well. I will have to be stricter with you in the future, Tony."
Teacher Tony:? ? ?
The game restarted in the second quarter, and sure enough, Wayne occupied a place in the Pacers' starting lineup in the second quarter!
He will continue to partner with Xiao Ao in the paint to continue his advantage.
O'Neal Jr. is eager to give it a try. With Wayne by his side in today's game, he simply didn't have a great time playing.
Not only does Wayne help open up space on the offensive end, but Wayne also has Wayne on the defensive end to keep an eye on LaFrentz, who always loves to roam outside the three-point line.
This allowed Xiao Ao to save a lot of energy.
However, at the beginning of the second quarter, it was the Celtics who took the lead.
This time, Payton used LaFrentz's cover to break into the penalty area. Wayne immediately switched defenses, but Payton's final layup avoided Wayne's block in the air.
Although he is old, his body is not as strong as the supersonic era.
But Payton is getting better and better at his job.
Payton scored on Wayne, is that okay?
"What about defense? You have to send someone to defend me." After scoring the goal, Payton deliberately yelled at Wayne. Wayne really wanted to give Payton an elbow.
How can someone have such a disgusting mouth!
Bird said: Where is this?
When I was beaten for trolling someone...
But soon, Wayne got a chance to save his face.
Because LaFrentz's defense actually completely ignored Wayne this time, and went all out to double-team Ou.
Payton saw that Wayne was about to take action, so he dropped Anthony Johnson and rushed toward Wayne.
Johnson is not a stable three-point shooting spot, so Payton chose to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
As a result, Payton's interference did not affect Wayne in any way.
Last season, Payton blocked shots from inside players. But now, one year older, he is no longer capable of this.
Wayne hit his second three-pointer of the game against Payton's defense, and the Celtics continued to fall behind!
"Ask someone taller to guard against me. You are carrying a flaw in your womb. There is nothing you can do about it."
The two of them were squirting back and forth, it was so lively.
Wayne's trash talk was louder this time and his actions were more obvious.
So, on-site cameras caught Wayne and Payton sniping at each other.
"Haha, Wei actually broke up with Payton. It's so brave, so brave."
The on-site commentators all smiled. Not only did this MOP play well, but his temperament also kept up with the pace of the NBA.
Bird, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, was even more happy.
Wayne still talks trash? This is a Pacers player.
Please increase your efforts!
Putting aside the exchange of insults between Wayne and Payton, Wayne's three-pointer almost gave the Celtics a punch!
Rivers had just chosen to let Wayne shoot, but Wayne stabbed Rivers in the chest.
Facts have proved that Wayne can still hit three-pointers steadily even under interference.
For Wayne, three-pointers are really a conventional weapon, not just a tactical deterrent.
Wayne and Xiao Ao, this is not a matter of choosing who to let go, it is a matter of choosing who to kill!
A serious rookie cannot kill the game, but Wayne is not serious.
How can this be done?
In the end, Rivers did not make any changes. He decided to see what Wayne could do next.
To put it bluntly, we still have to bet on Wayne's offense.
As a result, he was stabbed again.
When Wayne was once again left open from beyond the arc, LaFrentz couldn't sit idly by any longer.
In this situation, if Wayne scores another goal, the point difference will reach double digits.
Before the start of this game, Boston fans may have thought that O'Neal would put them in a hard fight, Artest would put them in a hard fight, and even thought that the old Miller would put them in a hard fight.
But they never imagined that in the end, it would be a first-year rookie who had them under control.
After Wayne received the basketball, LaFrentz immediately gave up the double-team and ran out from the inside. He had no choice but to run between Wayne and Xiao Ao at all costs.
If Wayne passes the ball to O again, LaFrentz will have to keep running.
LaFrentz was about to block Wayne, but Wayne, who was originally staring at the basket, did not shoot. Instead, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and lunged forward.
The two people were sprinting in completely opposite directions, just like two cars driving in the opposite direction, passing each other.
Wayne easily breaks through LaFrentz!
In this era, players who can perform well defensively at the third and fourth positions are quite rare.
After experiencing a serious injury, LaFrentz had no time to turn around quickly when faced with Wayne's breakthrough.
Seeing that LaFrentz was thrown away so easily, Payton chased after him unwillingly, preparing to cut the ball when Wayne went for a layup.
But when Payton approached from the side, Wayne hugged the basketball with both hands and raised it above his head. Payton, who reached out to steal, missed the ball and rushed out from Wayne.
Wayne is very skillful in using his height advantage.
After that, Wayne raised the basketball and gently picked it up, putting the basketball firmly into the frame.
Antetokounmpo-style layup!
If you dare to bet, Wayne will enter.
There's not much to say about this ball, it just bullies people with its height and wingspan.
At this point, Wayne gave the Pacers a double-digit lead!
Carlisle is happy, this sixth person is so useful.
"Beautiful goal, Wei passed two Celtic defenders by himself! If Gary had been one step faster, he might have been able to grab the ball.
It's a pity that time is not forgiving. "
After failing to steal the ball and almost rushing to the bench, Payton reluctantly cursed a universal word starting with F.
He put his hands on his hips, looked at the double-digit score difference, and sighed helplessly.
Now, can't I even teach a kid a lesson?
Why is the championship so difficult?
On the court, Wayne shrugged at Payton: "It's the same with or without your help on defense."
Payton looked at Wayne but didn't fight back.
He felt powerless.
After that, Wayne continued to shine, and his presence in this game was even stronger than the last one.
At first Rivers thought Wayne couldn't kill the game, but when Wayne really started scoring consecutive goals, it was too late.
In subsequent games, Payton and Wayne exchanged insults less and less often, as the points difference in the game gradually became larger and larger.
At the scene, the arrogant Boston fans gradually became silent.
When the game reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, a large swath of space was revealed in the stands of North Shore Garden.
The fans had already left the venue early, and the game was completely thrown into garbage time!
It was only then that Tony was replaced by Rivers to practice his hands.
Pierce sat lonely on the bench, shooting 5 of 14, scoring 15 points, and shooting only 35.7%.
On the other side, Artest made 5 of 8 shots and efficiently scored 16 points and 7 rebounds.
There is no doubt that Artest won this duel.
After joining Young James, he secured another top-five small forward in the league.
This ability is indeed incredible. If he had better brain power, Artest might also be able to become a superstar.
But the protagonist of today's game is neither Artest nor Pierce, but the "Owei combination" who scored 48 points together.
O'Brien scored 28 points, and Wayne also scored a career-high 20 points, breaking 20 points in the second game of his career.
Among them, Wayne made 4 of 6 three-pointers, letting Rivers know what conventional weapons are.
In addition to the three-pointers, Wayne also got 7 assists!
The combination of him and Xiao Ou is perfect on the offensive end.
The first time this pair played, they killed a Celtic to add to the excitement.
Watching Bird dancing in front of the TV, Donnie Walsh shook his head.
Watching a ball is like a child.
Now, Bird should be satisfied. The guy he has high hopes for really deserves it.
Without Wayne, it would not have been possible to win this game so easily.
However, Bird was so happy not just because of this big win, nor just because of the excellent understanding between Wayne and O'Brien.
It was also because of a certain guy in this game that Bird had been observing for a long time, which made Big Bird very happy.
Maybe, he can really use it.
Maybe in Indianapolis, he can finally go crazy again
