I am Really an Insider

Chapter 135 132: Challenge of Rookie Competition (4K votes requested)

Little O'Neal has been happy and a little embarrassed recently.

because

In the two games without him, the Pacers actually beat two Western Conference teams.

Well, no one is embarrassed.

You see, the Suns are without Nash. Although they lost miserably, this just shows the importance of Nash to the Suns.

After these three consecutive losses, Phoenix fans wanted to kill Barbosa, which actually enhanced Nash's status in Phoenix.

As for the Pacers, being able to win without O'Neill is a little bit...

Therefore, Xiao Ao also began to actively resume training to prepare for his comeback.

During this period of absence, Zitai almost praised himself to the sky.

"I just grab rebounds, and as a team leader, I'm willing to sacrifice for my teammates."

"Yes, Wei played two great games. I am willing to give opportunities to young people, they need space to show their talents."

"I am willing to play such a role. A good team is really good."

Xiao Ao looked at these interviews and really wanted to slap him.

Wayne played well, but you alone took all the benefits?

Therefore, before Captain Tai's addiction was over, he was poured cold water on him.

During regular training after defeating the Suns, when reporters discovered that O'Neal had resumed training, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"I won't be back against the Hornets, but I expect to be back against the Miami Heat."

"I feel good now, very healthy and I'm ready to fight."

"Well, I participated in confrontation training today. To be honest, I was almost beaten to death by Wei. Hahahahahaha, just kidding."

Zitai looked at Xiao Ao who was surrounded by everyone and was extremely envious.

Now, he is no longer the captain.

But the vice-captain!

"A bunch of guys who love the new and hate the old, huh!" Zitai shook his head, preparing to go to a nightclub tonight to soothe his hurt heart.

But at this moment, a Chinese reporter approached Artest and asked him if he had time for an interview.

"Of course, I can be interviewed!" Zitai smiled happily, like a child about to sneak into a nightclub.

"Ron, the team has been in very good shape in the last two games. Do you think Wayne's performance played a key role in the absence of O'Neal Jr.?"

"Of course, we wouldn't have won so easily without Wei. He is a great player and an indispensable member." Artest still knows how to evaluate Wei Ge.

This is different from most people who like to say good things about Chinese players. Artest is purely afraid of Wayne's elbow and purely appreciates Wayne's performance.

"Wayne just said that you played a very important role in these two games. He felt that your guidance was of great help to him. Specifically, how did you guide Wayne?"

After hearing this question, Tai Tai's eyes widened immediately: "Wei, did he really say that?"

"yes."

"This" Tai Tai suddenly felt a sore nose. It turns out that someone still recognizes me as the captain!

"I actually didn't do anything. Really, I just told him not to worry. I have everything under my control!"

"Eh? What's going on?" At this time, Wayne, who was resting in the locker room, found that the bond between him and Tai Tai had actually grown a lot.

But I obviously didn't do anything.

It's just that a Chinese reporter asked about Artest during an interview just now.

Wayne then casually said a few nice words.

Things like "he has great leadership" and "plays with passion".

However, Artest probably didn't hear it.

Ten minutes later, Tai returned to the locker room and looked at Wayne with a different look.

"Wei! Do you want me to practice extra with you today?"

"Huh?" Wayne was confused. Damn, you actually asked me to practice more?

Are you trying to prank me again?

"Don't go!"

"Are you sure? It's okay, I'm not tired."

"What's wrong with you Ron?"

"Nothing, just asking. If you need anything, call me anytime. From now on, your business is my business, Wei!" Tai patted Wayne on the shoulder seriously.

Wayne: Nick Young question mark face.JPG.

In the end what happened?

The next day, in the final game of the Western Conference Battle against the Hornets, Wayne discovered that Artest liked to pass the ball to him today!

And it’s the kind that you can pass on regardless of the chance!

The most terrible thing is that there are many passes at the buzzer.

Are you wearing the diamond blame king badge?

With Artest's enthusiastic "assist", Wayne only shot 43% today.

Because many of the balls he received at the last moment, Wayne had to shoot against the defense.

It's a credit to the Hornets that they were messing around. Otherwise, with the way they were messing around today, they would probably have overturned.

90 to 81, the Pacers defeated the Hornets on the road, winning their longest six-game winning streak of the season.

Although Wayne took a lot of shots, his efficiency was low, so he only scored 18 points.

Well, Wayne didn't bother to study what happened to Tai.

This guy is like this, his brain will crash every once in a while.

After the game, O'Neal Jr. also officially returned.

Originally, the Pacers star was preparing to make a heart-stirring comeback to overpower his opponent.

As a result, the most embarrassing thing happened.

In O'Neal's first game back, the Pacers' winning streak was ended

On January 22, the Pacers faced the Heat in an away game after acquiring O'Fatty.

Before the game, O'Brien gave Wayne a very high evaluation: "He is the same as Yao. If you underestimate them, you will be finished. Shaq will not underestimate Wei. My brother Wei and I will go all out."

Then Shaq did it.

But it’s not Wayne who’s suffering, it’s Xiao Ao!

Because today, he is facing Shaq.

Carlisle continued to let Wayne, who was in hot form, start today, while O'Brien, who returned from injury, was pushed to the fifth position.

Then, he was tortured by the Big Mac with the same surname as him.

O'Neal Jr. still suffers a lot when defending such a giant No. 5 position.

The best way to defend this giant No. 5 position is still to use Foster to top it and add the No. 4 position to help defend.

Directly letting Xiao Ao go against Big Mac will not only consume too much on the defensive end, but also fail to achieve a very good defensive effect.

So today, O'Neal Jr. did not play well on both offense and defense.

On the defensive end, the 33-year-old Shaq scored 24 points and 10 rebounds.

On the offensive end, the exhausted O'Brien only made 8 of 23 shots.

Coupled with Wade's 30 points, the Heat ended the Pacers' winning streak at home.

O'Neal Jr.: I'm so embarrassed!

After the game, Shark proudly said: "Our Wei Wei should be more amazing!"

Well, Wayne only scored 16 points today because Ou's return took up most of the shots.

Judging from the data, the Pacers' No. 99 Wei is indeed not as good as the Heat's No. 3 Wei.

At the same time, this game also taught Carlisle a lesson.

When the Pacers encounter a powerful fifth position, letting Wayne and O'O play at the same time is really not the best choice.

Of course, except when encountering an almost transparent opponent in the fourth position like the red team.

Fortunately, Xiao Ao's embarrassment did not last long. After three games against the Wizards, Celtics and Pistons, the Pacers won three consecutive games.

Yes, there are pistons again.

Although this time the Pistons had a complete lineup and Ben returned, the Pacers still won the game.

The two sides had actually been playing very anxiously, but at the last moment Payton and Wayne each scored a fatal three-pointer to kill the game.

In the end, the Pacers won by just 6 points.

Payton, it should be said, although his total three-point shooting percentage is not very good, he still has killer attributes at critical moments.

Well, don't be the kind of person whose fate is uncertain.

After the game, the entire public opinion community exploded.

Because this is the third time this season that the Pacers have defeated the defending champion!

When the Pacers solved the key ball problem, they seemed to solve the Pistons.

Of course, there was still a lot of friction between the two sides in this game, but no one dared to take action anymore.

As soon as Wayne showed up, everyone would disperse as if nothing had happened.

Wayne had a feeling of being left out

Why don't you take me to play with you? I'm very gentle.

Although he has lost to the Pacers three times, after the game, Billups was still unconvinced: "The regular season and the playoffs cannot be confused. Last season in the regular season, there were six teams in the league with better records than us. .

But it was us who lasted until the end in the playoffs. "

No matter what, if the Pacers and Pistons meet again in the playoffs, it will definitely be a nail-biting battle.

But as long as Wayne is there, the referee can feel at ease.

At least the two sides will never fight again!

After the game, NBA officials announced the roster for this year's Rookie Challenge before the final All-Star voting results came out.

Wayne is on the list and becomes the starter!

At this time, the Rookie Challenge is still a traditional competition between first-year and second-year players.

Therefore, the heroes of the 2004 class will unite to the outside world this time.

For the first-grade team, in addition to Wayne, Howard, Tony, Okafor, Harris, Deng Yingqiao, Gordon, Josh Smith, Iguodala and Jefferson were also selected, which is considered a bright star.

Not to mention the second grade, the 03 generation is really strong.

Just Mousse + Wade + Bosh + Anthony is scary enough.

Which rookie team can withstand this?

However, precisely because the rookie lineups of both sides are relatively strong, this year's rookie game does not seem so useless and is highly anticipated by fans.

04 generation VS 03 generation, full of gimmicks!

Everyone wants to know whether the 2004 class, which is full of potential, can counterattack the 2003 class, which has a stronger lineup on paper.

Wayne is actually quite interested in this game. If he can win the 03 generation

Forget it, just think about it.

In the rookie game, not to mention the opponent's strong lineup, it was very difficult for Wayne to call on his teammates to play seriously together.

After all, three of the first-year team were Wayne's enemies in college, and there was also a top pick who only knew how to laugh and laugh.

Spank.

Putting aside the rookie game, the Pacers have one last game left in January, and they face the Denver Nuggets, who own Anthony.

This season, the Nuggets, led by "Little Melon" Anthony, who has not ruined their image, have become a powerful team in the Western Conference.

Although his ranking may not be very high, he is indeed capable of causing trouble for most strong teams.

Today, the Pacers were in trouble.

Anthony was feeling great today, beating Artest, the best defensive player, to a pulp.

In addition, Kenyon Martin, the No. 1 pick in 2000, also gave Wayne a headache.

Because of Andre Miller's passing, Martin can always be found ghostly.

Martin didn't play with Wayne with the ball today. He relied entirely on his athletic ability to score 20 points.

Kenyon Martin knows how to take advantage of the pie. Why bother holding the ball when he has data to collect?

Wouldn't it be nice if you gave Anthony all the ball and let him face the strongest defense alone?

Wayne was helpless.

With his current athletic ability, it is indeed a bit difficult to defend the lean and oily cake-eating man.

If Stoudemire had had the awareness like Martin, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

In the end, the Nuggets won by 6 points at Bankers Life Arena.

After the game, Carmelo Anthony, who is popular in the league, appeared in front of reporters' cameras.

During this period, Anthony was still a popular target in the league.

His baby-faced look fits perfectly with Stern's image of a player.

In addition, Anthony's offensive skills are gorgeous and his playing is highly entertaining, so it is easy to attract fans.

It can be said that in the first few years of his career, Anthony's reputation was comparable to that of Mousse.

Even compared to James, people are more optimistic about Anthony's development in the NBA.

Almost everyone believes that Anthony can win the O'Brien Cup earlier than James.

After all, with the halo of MOP+NCAA championship, he is considered a more mature player.

It wasn't until the famous Madison Square Garden fight in 2006 that Anthony's image changed from a "little melon" to a "social melon" that the league did its best to promote James.

Of course, those are all things for later. Today, Anthony remains the darling of the league and fans.

"I'm very happy to win in Indianapolis. As we all know, the Pacers are a very tough opponent, and it's not easy to win against them." In front of the camera, Anthony's smile captivated me. fan.

"Mello, in half a month, the 2005 All-Star Game will be held in your home stadium of Denver. By then, as the host, how will you perform in the rookie game? By the way, Wei was also selected as a rookie. Do you think he will cause trouble for you class of 2003?"

Faced with this problem, Anthony smiled even brighter: "In Denver, as the host, I really want to perform well. So, I decided to turn the rookie game into a real confrontation.

Yes, real rivalry, real competition. It's not a show for fun, it's not a boring dunk show, it's a real game.

I've mentioned it to LeBron and the others, and they've expressed great interest.

As for Wayne, well, he's really strong. But to be honest, I felt that with our serious offensive, the first grade team could not even hold on for half a game. "

Anthony shrugged, which can be regarded as building momentum for the upcoming Denver All-Star Game.

It's normal for everyone to challenge each other before the All-Star Game, but Anthony this time is not just for hype.

He really hopes to win the rookie game MVP trophy in a real battle at his home court.

He longs for honors, all honors, even if it's just an honor like rookie MVP.

And only if you hold the trophy in a real battle, this trophy will have gold content.

Originally, Wayne didn't pay much attention to what Melon said. Anyway, he really couldn't beat the 03 generation!

But then, that damn mission system gave Wayne a mission with an extremely attractive reward.

"Mission: Battle against the 03 Super Platinum Generation and lead your teammates to defeat the legendary rookie!

Mission objective: Win the Rookie Challenge.

Mission reward: Randomly obtain a badge from a player in the 2003 rookie team. "

Wayne looked at the mission reward and was really attracted to it.

Among the players of the 2003 All-Star Team, the possibility of getting a good badge is extremely high!

Master of Mizongbu? Tanks break through the Emperor?

Anyway, they all taste delicious!

I really want it.

Wayne scratched his head. This broken system forced me to do something again.
