I am Really an Insider

Vol 2 Chapter 87: The right to brush

   In the afternoon, after the team training is over, the media opening time comes.

  India City reporters rushed to the stadium just to see the true face of the No. 12 rookie.

  Of course, the Bankers Life Arena is also the first time so many Chinese journalists have been welcomed.

   But after the Chinese reporters rushed in, they did not rush to find Wayne, but first interviewed the other players of the Pacers.

   "Wayne adapts very quickly. He is now in a better state than everyone else. I believe he will become an indispensable part of the team." O'Neal faced the CCTV camera with a kind smile.

   "Wei is great, um, he is really special. By the preseason, everyone will know what he can do." Artest clasped his chest, and replied obediently.

   "He worked very hard, he should have no problem adapting to the team." Team spirit Reggie Miller also gave Wayne a good comment.

   Next, their evaluation of Wayne will appear in the afternoon's "Sports News" and the evening's "Sports World".

  Chinese players go to the NBA. Of course, fans want to know what these foreigners think.

   Therefore, after interviewing these Pacer veterans, the Chinese reporters walked to Wayne.

   "The teammates are very enthusiastic and treat me very well. Of course, I also gave back their friendliness in my own way." Wayne smiled and faced the camera, looking at Gangtai who was not far away.

   He should feel my strong drive!

   Of course, not all reporters’ interviews are so friendly.

   After this, a few American reporters came to get involved.

   "Way, we all know that the Pacers already have Jermaine O'Neal at the power forward position. Do you think the team will adjust the lineup for you next season?"

   This is obviously here to provoke discord. If the Pacers locker room is messed up, there will be no shortage of news this season.

  Wayne is a rookie, but he is not that stupid yet. Such an obvious pit, would I jump?

   "I believe the head coach will make the best arrangement for the team."

   In a single sentence, Wayne evaded this question.

   "So, do you think you can accept a substitute position?"

   "If Kobe had as many problems as you when he played on the bench two years ago in his career, I guess he would have been traded for talking too much."

   Wayne still has a smile on his face, but obviously there are knives hidden in his words!

   The reporter was stunned. Is this rookie so precocious?

   Will you startle when you just join the league?

   Wayne shrugged and walked away from the reporter.

   Well, it seems that I do not have to memorize the interview draft.

   He doesn't want to be Mr. Perfect anyway.

   In this way, the first day Wayne came to the Pacers to report, he passed safely with an iron elbow.

   Before leaving, Carlisle informed Wayne that he would take a set-up photo for the new season tomorrow.

   No wonder Wayne saw Artest and left as soon as the interview was over. He was probably busy to shave his head.

   After one summer, Artest’s hair is almost growing into a cauliflower head, and his stiff board fits him.

   "In addition, I have to finally confirm your jersey number. Are you sure you want the number 99?"

   "Yeah, it's number 99."

   "Okay..." Carlisle shook his head. Ten minutes ago Artest had just told him that he was going to change the No. 23 to the No. 91 in the new season.

   Numbers above 90 are indeed worn by very few people, so they are very unique numbers.

   As a result, the Pacers will have two jersey numbers above 90 at a time next season.

   Wayne and Artest, unexpectedly tuned together...

   Early the next morning, Wayne was still drowsily awakened by the ringtone of his "high-end mobile phone".

   He picked up the phone and looked at it, it was Tony.

  Madan, what gift is this guy going to show off?

   "Hey, Pierce gave you the car or the big gold chain." Wayne said listlessly after answering the call.

   "Damn, is that true?" However, Tony didn't answer Wayne, but instead asked without a word.

   "Huh? What's the matter?"

   Now it's Wayne's turn to be stupefied, little question mark, do you have many friends?

   "I saw news on the Internet saying that you bet with Artest yesterday that the person who lost 1 to 1 bought a drink. As a result, after ten minutes, Artest came back with a bunch of drinks?"

   "This..." Wayne was drunk, did this happen to the Internet?

   Also, in addition to the players, there were many trainers on the scene. As long as any one of them is on a whim, this matter will definitely not be hidden.

   Wayne doesn't know how to answer this time.

   Artai bought a drink... This seems to be true!

   "Well, there is such a thing." Wayne nodded without denying.

   On the other end of the phone, Tony shed sad tears.

   Thinking of the picture of himself running on the street with 16 bottles of Gatorade and 14 burgers yesterday, he really felt that he was too sad.

   How about receiving a watch worth 30,000? It's not the life of a little brother.

   I looked at Wayne, and asked the old team members to buy themselves drinks on the first day.

   This special is called platoon noodles!

   The Czech Leopard watch in his hand suddenly stopped fragrant.

"It's okay, Tony, work hard. You will be as good as me sooner or later. I look forward to seeing the news in the newspaper that Pierce is going to buy you a drink." Wayne took the opportunity to retaliate and show me before calling you. !

   This brother is so loyal to worship, and Wayne feels violent early in the morning.

   hung up the phone hoarsely, and Wayne immediately checked the news on his phone.

   That’s right, Wayne’s “high-end touch-screen mobile phone” can be used to watch news on the Internet, but the web pages are quite crude.

   I knew at a glance that this incident really had a small spread.

   Although it has not spread widely, it is far from the sensation that he defeated Wallace in the first place.

   But as long as you follow Wayne and the Pacers, you can definitely see this news by typing in keywords.

   Yes, the top ten unsolved mysteries of the NBA, one more is needed-who on earth won Wayne and Artest?

   When Wayne went to the arena, he found that his teammates were also discussing the gossip.

   As soon as Artest arrived in the locker room, everyone who was changing his clothes looked at him and laughed, and some shouted, "Ron, you have news on the Internet again!"

   He didn't answer, opened the locker and took out the brand new No. 91 jersey.

   They deliberately shouted again, "You must be hot again, they all said you lost to Wayne, buy drinks for the rookie, hahahahaha!"

   Artest blushed, the blue stripes on his forehead bloomed, and he argued, "Can you count as a loss for things between teammates?"

   Everyone laughed, and the dressing room was filled with cheerful air.

   O'Neal also followed with a smile. This kind of atmosphere was extremely rare last season.

   It seems that Wayne can indeed have a strange chemical reaction with Artest.

   After training in the afternoon, as planned, the Pacers players will start taking photos of the new season's makeup.

   Although Artai likes to have a bit of personality in his hair, this time he just shaved his head honestly and didn't do any work.

   The team’s most bizarre hairstyle is "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson.

   His dirty braids are like algae on his head.

   Wayne, he wore the same hairstyle as he did in the draft.

   Originally, his plan was to shave his hair short at the end of the draft. As a result, the hairstyle became more and more handsome... and he kept it for now.

   Well, no one can escape the true incense law.

   In addition to taking photos alone, the team also has to take posters with multiple players taking photos for the new season.

   Wayne, No. 99, and Artest, No. 91, naturally have to take a photo separately. These two jerseys are very likely to become Indiana's hot style.

   In the end, Carlisle had trouble shooting the first poster of the Five Tigers.

   Under normal circumstances, it is all done with the first five shots planned for next season.

   But this year, the Pacers' starting point guard, Anthony Johnson...To be honest, the coffee position seems to be too low, and it doesn't have any internal taste.

   So, Carlisle called Wayne over.

   Just like that, Miller, Jackson, Artest, Wayne, and Oscar shot this year's Pacers' Five Tigers promotional poster.

   Of course, these five players may not all start, but they are definitely the most critical five-man team for the Pacers next season!

   Carlisle believes that the fans will be satisfied.

   One week later, on the largest billboard outside the Banker’s Life Arena, Wayne and four other people’s Five Tigers posters were posted.

   The basketball atmosphere in Indianapolis has soared.

  Although the new season has not yet started, there are already many fans wearing the No.99 jerseys roaming the streets.

   They are all looking forward to the performance of this semi-final MOP in the NBA.

  At this time, within the Pacers, as the players recovered their body and form, Carlisle also began to arrange training tactics.

   As a defensive coach, Carlisle naturally starts with defense first.

   For Wayne, he needs Wayne to be a defensive role.

   After all, Wayne's mobility and defensive range are quite outstanding.

   is just a little lighter, so the defense is definitely better than the inside defense.

  During training, Carlisle reminded you more than once: "Pay attention to the movements of your hands. Regarding the changes to the HC rules next season, everyone must adapt."

   Gangtai is uncomfortable. Defensive can't use hands to touch people, so why do you defend? How can you elbow those guys in Detroit?

   Wayne is undoubtedly the one who adapts the fastest among all, after all, the new rules are not "new" to Wayne at all.

   A few days later, a drill of offensive tactics was also arranged.

   At the beginning of the new season, Wayne's offensive role is similar to that of Harrington last season-the sixth man who needs to swing in the third and fourth position, playing about 30 minutes per game.

   To put it bluntly, it means that when Artest and Oo are off the court, they need to seamlessly connect up to maintain offensive firepower.

   Don't look at the role as the sixth man, but Harrington played the third most time on the team last season.

   Therefore, Wayne also has a heavy responsibility.

   Wayne nodded. Isn't this the role of the Clippers Lu Wei and Harrell in the future?

   Before George and Kawai went to the Clippers, the two buddies were on the surface as a substitute, but you can say that they are the true backbone of the team.

   Of course, Wayne won't get 30 minutes of playing time as soon as he comes out. Carlisle will step by step, allowing Wayne to adapt slowly and slowly increase the time.

   In addition, Carlisle also told Wayne: "Next season, you will appear more at the small forward position."

   And, Wayne also heard a good news: "When the position is offensive, we need you to find more opportunities outside the three-point line."

   "Okay, leave it to me!" Wayne patted his chest.

   Now, no one can stop him from shooting crazy three-pointers!

   An older man, in this era, was allowed by the head coach to go outside the three-point line...

   This kind of thing is simply unacceptable!

   Sorry Du Xiaoshuai, in the future, your template will only be me!

  Time flies ~www.ltnovel.com~ In the daily hard training, the team's tacit understanding gradually increases.

   Mid-October has arrived, and the NBA preseason is about to start.

   Wayne's registered height is still 2 meters 06, the position is power forward.

  Carlisle also said that there is no need to modify the real height of 206...

   This year, in order to create a Chinese derby, in addition to arranging the NBA China game for the first time, the preseason also arranged the Mosaic and Pacers teams to meet.

   Stern's work was done very timely.

   It is not right to have money, unless there is a problem with the brain.

   Of course, the match against Mosaic is the finale.

   In the first game of the preseason, the Pacers' opponent was the Washington Wizards.

   Carlisle decided to let Wayne start and play for about 20 minutes the day before the start of the game.

   If Wayne can adapt perfectly to these preseason games... Then start the new season directly in 30 minutes!

   That night, Wayne deliberately studied the lineup of the Wizards of this period.

   At the power forward position, the Wizards will probably start with Antoine Jamison, the best sixth man of the season.

   The Mavericks did a similar operation to the Pacers this summer, replacing the sixth man with a rookie—the fifth pick, Devin Harris.

   So, Jamison joined the Wizards and will assist "Agent Zero" next season.

   From this point of view, the top two champions of last season's best sixth man rankings have all been traded this season...it's toxic.

   "Hmm..." Looking at Jamison's profile, Wayne stroked his chin.

   This one seems to be much shorter than myself...
