NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 275 Kill the crazy Jaylen Rose! Miller gives up the starting lineup!

这场比赛，林天登场30分钟，拿下25分11次助攻5篮板4次抢断的全面数据，初来乍到的韦伯也贡献出20分11篮板5助攻的精彩表现，替补登场的卡特拿到15分5篮板3助攻，大本2分11个篮板3次盖帽。

The Pacers' team's shooting percentage is as high as 54%, and their three-point shooting percentage is as high as 3%! This game was a complete team victory and the Pacers' signature victory!

Use their tidal attack and endless quick counterattacks, as well as the non-stop rapid transfer of the ball in positional battles, to get easy scoring opportunities one after another!

The Pacers' Princeton offensive system showed terrifying actual results in the first game of the regular season!

The only unsatisfactory performance in this game was Reggie Miller. This long-established shooter lost his standard in this game. He only made 11 of 3 shots, including only 3 9-pointers. 2, he is the least efficient player on the team.

Of course, in Miller's long career, there are not many similar bad performances, but there are always a few, and this is not something that the Indiana and Pacers should worry about.

It’s just normal ups and downs!

But Miller himself obviously doesn't think so.

On the morning after the game, the Pacers did not arrange training, but Miller came to the team's training hall alone, turned on the TV and asked the team's video analyst to prepare for him in advance. Game highlights.

His own game highlights.

Well, how should I put it?

If something goes wrong, fix it!

After watching the video for almost an hour, Miller called several trainers to help him pick up the ball, and he began to train his shooting.

"Rose cannot score more than 10 points. Tonight, the Raptors must lose by 40 points, otherwise the training volume will increase by 20% in the next month!"

"I'm one of the five best swingmen in this league. Vince Carter is also pretty good, but I don't think he's in the top 5."

罗斯9投1中，罚球6罚3中拿到5分3篮板3助攻，另外还有9次失误。

Because it's this night.

If it's not normal, then Miller will use the most primitive method to make it normal: practice! Practice to death!

Miller's secret training was not publicized. Except for the coaching staff and himself, the players on the team were unaware of it. They continued to train and play as usual.

But there is no difference between these few teams in front of the Pacers. The Pacers won all 4 games easily, winning every game by more than 20 points. Every game was basically defeated in the third quarter. In the last 8 minutes of the fourth quarter, the main players of the Pacers were hardly seen playing!

Why do you say almost?

Because the Raptors are the exception.

Bird's instructions were simple and easy to understand, and when the Pacers executed them, they were even more enthusiastic and their execution was perfect!

Maybe it’s because Jalen Rose won the Most Improved Player award last season, maybe because he scored 71 points in the first two games of this season and was the league’s leading scorer in the first three days, or maybe it’s because he is prone to drifting.

That's it. In fact, in the preseason game against the Bucks, Miller made all 3 of his 5-pointers and hit 7% of his 100-pointers in the game. If you remove this, In the field, his data is even more disastrous.

At the same time, Miller also held a piece of paper in his hand, which contained his game data from 6 preseason games and 1 regular season game.

"I just wasn't in a big city. If I had played in Los Angeles, I would have been on the All-NBA team last year!"

These people raised their brows at the same time and released a huge amount of murderous intent.

"If I was with the Pacers last year, the Heat couldn't advance to Game 7! I would have killed the Miamians!"

The killings were literally littered with corpses, rivers of blood, and piles of bones!

It's just that, well, most of the blood, bones and body parts on the ground are all Rose's own.

Now Miller is just watching the game, trying to see if there is something wrong with his shooting hand, shooting posture, and pace adjustment. He wants to find out where his problems lie.

This high-intensity, high-pressure defense that relies on speed, body and footsteps has now become one of Lin Tian's signature defenses. Some people even couldn't wait to give Lin Tian several new nicknames.

"I was ostracized by the Pacers back then. Lin, Miller, Dumars and others ostracized me and kicked me out of the team! Bird was also a complete idiot. He actually chose a pure shooter who was about to retire. , gave up on me!”

"I will let them know they are wrong! Letting me go and choosing a fool who can only dunk is the stupidest thing they can do!"

So, this night, from the very beginning of the game, Lin Tian took the initiative to confront Rose and started to press and defend him oppressively from the first round of the game.

In the fourth quarter, the Raptors didn't dare to let Rose play again. This guy who had just shown a little confidence in the first two games of the season and was heading towards a top forward-guard swingman, if he continues to play, he will really have to play. There is a shadow in my heart.

Very bad.

No matter which nickname it is, Lin Tian doesn't like it very much, but that's not important. The important thing is that what Rose will face tonight is not just Lin Tian's targeting.

Bird issued death orders to the players before the game started.

This kind of bullying is what these gangsters from the Pacers like to do the most!

So Ross discovered that not only was Lin Tian like a hungry wolf that had spotted its prey, it was always around him. Even if he used multiple screens to break out of Lin Tian's defense and finally got rid of him, he You will also find that there are still at least 2 Pacers players standing next to you.

Killing like crazy!

Rose went absolutely crazy tonight!

As for the Pacers?

I didn't find any problems in the video, everything was normal!

But for Miller, everything is normal but he performs like this, that is very abnormal!

Anyway, an hour before the game against the Pacers, Rose spoke to the media.

41% field goal percentage and 36% 3-point shooting rate, coupled with an average output of only 13 points per game, are the lowest values ​​in Miller's career since he became famous.

Those around them are sure of one thing - Rose is probably dead this season.

Whether it's Christie or Ben, they almost only have Ross in their eyes!

It's as if they played tonight just for Rose!

The first quarter was 3 for 0, 4 turnovers, the second quarter was 4 for 1, 2 turnovers, the third quarter was 2 for 0, 3 turnovers, the fourth quarter...

After defeating the 76ers in the first game, the Pacers continued their terrifying offensive firepower and rainbow momentum.

"Dunks and shots are both 2 points. I don't like dunks because I think it's just a show. But they're also 2 points. I'll choose a more practical and energy-saving way to end the battle. I think that's why I can do multiple times in a row. The reason why some players get injured when the team needs them most when they play a full season."

Riley and Mourning in Miami, Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, and of course Bird, Carter, Lin Tian, ​​Miller and other people who were directly mentioned by him were about to start a war with the Raptors.

An absolutely nightmarish night.

They played 4 games in the first week. In addition to the 76ers, their opponents also included the Bucks, Raptors and Pistons. In addition to the Raptors being a bad team, the Bucks and Pistons both had a goal of 50. Win, a team that wants to advance to the second round or even the conference finals.

'Steel Gloves', 'Water Cannon', 'Exterminator'.

131: 80!

They overfulfilled their mission and won a 51-point victory!

In this game, the Pacers' main players didn't take a break until the end of the third quarter, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they did not use a full lineup of role players to pass the garbage time with the Raptors as before.

Carter, Buckner, Mullin, Davis and Lewis, these five were on the court for most of the fourth quarter.

And Carter went completely crazy tonight!

Not only did he score a team-high 31 points in the game, he also contributed 4 wonderful dunks in the fourth quarter! After every dunk, he would rush to the Raptors bench and do his signature motorcycle POSS to Ross and the rest of the Raptors to release his unhappiness!

You said I only know how to dunk?

Then I will give you a good time today!

In the end, it wasn't Bird who dismissed Carter because he thought it was enough. After all, this guy was probably the most petty person on the Pacers team.

Ross dared to call him an idiot, but he remembered it clearly!

What made Carter go down was that he became completely excited. After dunking on the Raptors' backup center, he danced towards the Raptors bench.

That dance, well, it's very unsightly.

The referee had no choice but to send Carter off the field.

That is to say, the referee's penalty made Bird feel that it was almost done. It was not that he had almost won by points, but that if the fight continued, there might be a fight or some violent accident on the court.

That's why Bird suddenly replaced Mullin and others, allowing more marginal players to play in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.

The Pacers definitely won heartily tonight, which made Rose's words before the game seem even more stupid and ignorant.

Moreover, given the character of the Pacers, they will never stop there. They will continue to use their own methods to make Rose's words and deeds look even more idiotic.

For example, in the post-game press conference, Bird took the lead in facing reporters and said: "I don't want to answer too many questions tonight, because I'm just a stupid idiot who let go of a top-five forward and guard swingman in the league for nothing. I chose a loser who is not even in the top 20. By the way, these two people who are outside the top five and twenty, what data did they get today?"

When reporters asked him what he thought of his performance tonight, Carter also gave a rare smirk and said: "As a swingman ranked outside the 20th place in the league, I think I played very well! There are several players ranked outside the 20th place. Can this guy score 31 points in a single game?"

"I'm just a showy idiot who only knows how to dunk. I'm not worth mentioning. I'm not worth mentioning at all."

Lin Tian followed: "I am very happy that Jay is happy now, and I sincerely wish him no more being targeted and excluded. As for what he said, I am very sorry and disappointed, because to be honest, I once thought that we We got along very well, and I still remember him telling me two years ago that he was very disappointed not to be selected for the All-Star Game."

"So in the next two games, we tried our best to feed him the ball, allowing him to score 40 points in two consecutive games, and then successfully entered the All-Star game as a supplement, but in the end, he felt I'm so sad that we're targeting and ostracizing him."

"Perhaps, he felt that sending him to the All-Stars was aimed at him."

The singing of these three guys made the reporters below burst into laughter, and the entire press conference was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Rose went crazy before the game, but after the game?

He was killed like crazy!

And by this time, everyone knew very well that Rose's nightmare had just begun!

Because the Heat and Lakers happened to have a game tonight, and at the same time, someone stood up and took a swipe at Rose from the air.

Mourning: "I know there are many people who feel that we entered the Eastern Conference finals last year without success, and I also know that many people feel that we are the team that should lose in the tiebreaker, but what I want to say is: we lost. No matter whether you win or not, it has nothing to do with some alien lizard!"

"If Lin, Reggie or Larry said this, I would have no objection, but him? He is not even as important to the Pacers as the latest washing machine, because the latest washing machine can make the ball Everyone on the team wears comfortable clothes and he just cries and wets everyone's jerseys."

"I have seen the schedule. We will have our first match of the season in half a month. I am very much looking forward to it, and I am also willing to give him a piece of advice in advance: Don't come to the three-second zone unless you are tired of living. !”

In Los Angeles, Kobe looked eager to try: "I'm very much looking forward to it! I'm very much looking forward to competing with the top five swingmen in the league. I also want to see who is more worthy of being selected for the All-NBA Team than me." , what level is it? I’m really looking forward to playing against him all night long! I hope he won’t pee his pants!”

How to offend three of the league's top teams in one interview?

Jaylen Rose demonstrates it for you!

No matter what kind of game Rose will play when facing the Lakers and Heat, in the first week, the Pacers achieved a huge victory!

林天第一周场均能够拿下23.5分10.5次助攻6篮板4抢断的漂亮数据，同时命中率高达51%，44%和91%！

With a comprehensive and efficient performance coupled with the team's complete victory, Lin Tian easily won the Player of the Week in the first week, and at the same time continued his advantage on the mvp list!

In addition to Lin Tian, ​​Weber, as the team's new second-in-command, averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He also performed brilliantly and comprehensively. In addition, he stepped up from the bench and became the team's No. 15 player. The third scorer, Carter can score 5 points, 3 rebounds and assists per game.

The Pacers' offensive trident has the league's top offensive firepower!

Of course, the Pacers were not really without shortcomings in the first week of the game.

If there was one person who had to find a weakness for the Pacers in the first week of the season, it would undoubtedly be Reggie Miller.

开赛第一周，米勒场均只有9分2篮板2助攻入账，3分命中率更是只有34%！

You know, even in his rookie year, Miller averaged 10 points per game!

Miller has really fallen into a very bad state this week.

For the rest of the Pacers, this is an ordinary week. The team's big brother is out of shape and feeling bad for a little bit, so it's not a big deal.

But for Miller, this bad state has actually lasted for almost a month. Since the preseason, he has been unable to hit the shots that he could easily hit before. His body needs more support. It takes preparation time to get into the state. He has to run on the court for almost half a quarter to find a sense of the game.

Miller doesn't want to think about the reason for his poor state. He is still practicing more quietly. He still adds hundreds of extra shooting tasks to himself before and after each training, hoping that he can get back the feeling of shooting. .

But his method was obviously a bit slow to take effect.

Because of his poor condition, this is just the beginning!

In the second week of the game, the Pacers once again won three games, but Miller's performance was still out of tune with the team!

This week, Miller's scoring average rose to 13 points per game, but at a huge cost.

His average number of shots per game increased by 5 compared to the first week! But in exchange for only 4 points per game, his 3-point shooting rate this week was as low as an unbelievable 29%! With this kind of hit rate, he can no longer be considered a shooter!

The more he missed the shot, the more anxious Miller became, and the more anxious he became, the more he wanted to shoot!

This stubbornness and impatience soon turned into a crazy mode of regardless.

In the eighth game of the season, the Pacers challenged the Washington Wizards away from home, who had only 2 wins and 5 losses so far this season.

Facing the Wizards, who had a bad record, a bad system, and were completely in rebuilding mode, Miller completely unleashed his desire on the offensive end!

He kept taking shots, and he kept taking shots in various ways. He ran around without stopping, looking for opportunities, then asked for the ball with great force, and then took the shot without hesitation. In the first quarter, Miller took 9 shots, but only hit 3 goals and scored 8 points.

In the second quarter of the game, although his teammates all discovered that something was wrong with Miller, neither Lin Tian nor Bird said much. Of course, the two of them knew how bad Miller's current state was, and they also knew that this guy had I really want to get my own feeling back.

Coupled with Miller's irreplaceable position in the team, both Lin Tian and Bird believe that Miller has the qualifications to be willful!

If he wants to vote, let him vote happily!

Let's see if he can get back to where he was before his career!

10 out of 2 shots!

Miller was still taking crazy shots in this quarter, but his efficiency was not rising but falling. The more he shot, the worse he got, and the more he shot, the more impatient he became!

Because of his crazy shots and low efficiency, the team was even 6 points behind the weak Wizards at the end of the first half!

During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit depressing. No one spoke or joked.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Miller, who was sitting in front of his locker, covering his head with a towel and panting.

After a long time, Miller pulled the towel off his head, looked at everyone and said: "I played very poorly in the first half of the game. I wasted a lot of shooting opportunities. I'm sorry, I played so poorly. But in the second half, I still want to play like this! I want to get my shooting touch back, and I think the best way is to keep shooting!"

"I hope everyone will support me."

"Reggie, you know how to do it even if you don't say it. This is Indiana, and here, you have the final say!" Lin Tian patted Miller on the shoulder and said: "In the second half of the game, our screen will be harder and our passing will be better. Just get back to your form!"

"That's right! I'll cover you, I guarantee not a fly can fly over!" Ben laughed and patted his chest, also expressing his support for the big brother of the team.

Miller didn't say much, just nodded, and then waited silently for the start of the second half.

In the second half of the game, although the two sides changed sides and fought again, the game strategy did not change at all!

The Wizards' strategy is to shoot at random. If they can score, they will score. If they can't, they will find another way.

As for the Pacers, naturally the entire team is still creating opportunities for Miller, allowing him to take as many shots as possible and as comfortably as possible.

In the third quarter of the game, Miller's touch really improved a lot. In this quarter, he made 10 of 5 shots, including 3 of 5 3-pointers. He scored 13 points in a single quarter, relying on Miller's small explosion. , the Pacers finally recovered the score and regained the lead.

However, the point difference between the two sides was still not widened. At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers only led by 3 points!

In the fourth quarter, Miller sat off the court to rest at first. The backcourt combination of Lin Tian and Carter led three blue-collar workers, Ben, Davis and Christie, to kill everyone on the court!

Lin Tian and Carter's little cooperation now feels a little more proficient. The more they play, the smoother and smoother they become!

Whether it's sudden points, air cuts, hand-to-hand or alley-oops, these two people can play with full enjoyment and efficiency! And the two of them can always contribute top ten ball-level moments.

Miller was still sitting quietly off the court, watching the two people going back and forth, quickly extending the lead to more than 10 points.

Then, after playing 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, Miller came on again, replacing Carter, who was in hot form.

But as soon as Miller came on the court, the situation on the court actually changed again.

Maybe it was because sitting for 5 minutes caused his touch to decline, maybe it was because his touch tonight was still really not that good. In short, the 10-for-5 shooting in the third quarter now looks more like a flash in the pan!

As soon as Miller came on the court, he made three consecutive shots. On the contrary, the Wizards actually found the feeling at this time, shooting inside and outside, and scoring consecutive points!

As the two sides went back and forth, the point difference narrowed rapidly, and with only the last 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Wizards' seventh overall pick this year was not yet the 'Mask Man' Hamilton. Hit a jump shot from distance to help the Wizards overtake the score again!

The Wizards took a 40-point lead in the last 1 seconds.

Then, the Pacers still didn't call a timeout. They like not to call a timeout when there are dozens of seconds left in the game, but instead attack suddenly and catch their opponents off guard!

It was the same this time. After receiving the baseline ball, Lin Tian advanced quickly, attracting the defensive attention of three Wizards players. Almost all the rest of the Pacers were missed!

Lin Tian did not hesitate to take advantage of the situation. He passed the ball from behind to Miller who followed up on the left. Miller also raised the knife and dropped it without any mercy. He picked up the 3-pointer and threw it away!

"Boom!"

But it is a pity that this desperate three-pointer failed to hit!

Not only failed to hit, but the Wizards turned around and gave the ball to Hamilton again. This rookie was not afraid of the seniors at all. After continuous crotch dribbling, he reached the mid-range and made another pull-up jump shot!

"Shh!"

The point difference between the two sides was widened to 3 points!

There are only the last 10 seconds left before the end of the game!

At this time, Bird finally called a timeout!

"Reggie, do you still dare to shoot?" On the bench, before Bird gave any instructions on tactics, Lin Tian asked Miller directly.

Miller made 33 of 10 shots tonight and only scored 25 points!

"I dare to shoot, and I want to shoot! But I listen to you!" Miller did not hesitate or be afraid. Even if his offensive efficiency tonight was extremely bad, he was not afraid.

"Then Reggie will make the shot. I will open up space for him. I believe that Reggie's bad luck tonight has ended. He will definitely be able to make the shot next!"

"Then Reggie!" Bird nodded, and then quickly drew on his tactical board.

One minute later, all the Pacers walked onto the court. Christie served from the sideline. Lin Tian, ​​Carter, Miller and Ben lined up, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, and they would start running immediately!

"Dudu!"

After the whistle blew, all members of the Pacers started running quickly. Lin Tian's running direction was exactly opposite to Bird's position. Obviously, Lin Tian's purpose was to help Miller open up space and give him a fatal blow. Opportunity!

His goal has indeed been achieved, because no matter who scores the most points and takes the most shots in the Pacers tonight, as long as Lin Tian starts running, his opponents will definitely chase him closely and try every means to prevent him from catching the ball.

This is Lin Tian's terrifying containment power now!

Although Miller was also defended by Hamilton in front of him, after Big Ben gave him a screen, he immediately moved sideways to catch the ball, and relied on Big Ben's screen to successfully get a shooting opportunity.

In the fleeting opening, Miller still took the shot without hesitation and determination as before in his career!

"Boom!"

But what followed was a shot. Miller's shot was obviously crooked, even a little ridiculous. The basketball just barely touched the basket and then bounced far away.

Howard jumped high, took the basketball into his arms, and then threw it towards the front court. Strickland ran with all his strength, hugged the basketball first, and then ran quickly towards the corner of the court. Lin Tian finally caught up with him and when he was about to commit a foul, the whistle at the end of the game also sounded.

The game is over!

After a 7-game winning streak at the start of the season, the Pacers suffered an upset loss to the Washington Wizards, a poor team in the league!

The biggest reason why the Pacers lost tonight was undoubtedly Miller. Although he scored a team-high 25 points tonight, he took 34 shots, including 5 in the fourth quarter. 0 for 1 and no points, including two fatal shots in the last 30 seconds that could help the team save the defeat, all ended in a blacksmith!

After the game, Miller didn't say much, but went to the press conference on behalf of the team.

"Reggie, we have all noticed that your condition has been very bad since the start of the season. This may be the worst half month of your career. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"No, I played terribly. As you said, this is the worst half month of my life. I have never been so bad." Miller has always been outspoken about his poor performance.

"Your unbeaten streak was shattered by the Wizards tonight. Who is responsible for tonight's game?"

"Me, without a doubt, me."

"You took crazy shots tonight, and your desire to take shots was completely different from your past self. Is there something wrong in the Pacers' locker room? Are you anxious to use a wonderful performance to stabilize yourself in the locker room? What about your status in the country?”

"Ridiculous and stupid question. Of course, I admit that I really want a perfect performance to change my current bad situation and rebuild my confidence." Miller was very disdainful of reporters' questions.

"But before you ask questions, can you watch the game first? Many of my shots are indeed brainless and poor choices, but what you didn't see is that all my teammates are desperately trying to cover me. Are you risking your life to make me a ball, and every time I reach out for the ball, do you give it to me in time?"

"You call this a problem in the locker room? Then what do you mean a locker room without problems? Huh?"

"My teammates knew that I needed a wonderful performance to restore my condition and confidence. They immediately gave everything, including two winning opportunities. My teammates chose to believe in me. It was me who did not repay their trust. I missed two shots in a row and it’s all my fault!”

"But one thing, I think you are right, our team does need some changes. We are not in the best shape yet. There are problems with our current lineup and rotation, and we need to make some changes. "

When Miller said this, he paused for a moment, then stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. After taking a long breath, he continued: "I think I played too much time. I should play as a substitute. Starting, we should first find our condition on the bench."

"This is my truest thought now. My condition and performance on the court are far inferior to Vince's. I should give way to Vince. Regarding this matter..."

"We have never considered this matter and have never conducted any internal discussions." Bird next to him grabbed the conversation and stopped Miller from continuing. He told reporters: "About our lineup. I have very clear considerations about rotation and tactical system, and maybe we will consider this issue in the future.”

"But now, this is not the time to talk about this. Reggie's condition is not very good tonight. I think this is the end of the night. Thank you everyone."

After Bird finished speaking, he pulled Miller forcefully, and without allowing him to explain, he pulled him out of the press conference.

"Larry, why do you want to stop me? There is nothing wrong with what I said. I really shouldn't continue to play as a starter! At this time, selfishly holding on to the starting position leads to the team not being able to play 100%. Strength is a very stupid and asshole behavior!”

"I just want to make Indiana better, not myself."

"You just have a short-term condition problem. It's not to the point where you have to change the lineup." Bird didn't look back and said directly: "Strengthen training and your hand will come back."

"You can't come back, and you can't come back in the future." Miller suddenly stopped, then looked at Bird and said: "My wrist, I thought it could be fully recovered very easily, just like Ewing. , but I can’t come back.”

"There are no problems with the rhythm of my shooting, the adjustment of my steps, the timing of the shot, and the posture when I shot. Everything is fine, but I just can't make the shot. I can't make the shots that I could make in the past." , I know where the problem is, and I think you also know where the problem is, but we are not willing to admit it."

"We can take another look, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Bird sighed. He knew that Miller was right and that what Miller said was the best way to make the team better, but now Byrd, it is rare that emotion exceeds reason.

"Let's wait at least half a month. Maybe your hand feeling will come back?"

"I can't come back, it's been a month." Miller still shook his head firmly and said: "It's not a problem with the feel, it's a problem with me. My wrist has become stiffer than before, and it just can't be turned over like I could before. At the angle, it just wouldn’t obey when I was shooting.”

"We all know that some injuries are irreversible once they occur. I didn't want to admit this fact. I thought that training with a far higher intensity than before could restore my feeling, but to be honest, we have to accept this fact. , the injury last season made it impossible for me to go back."

"And, more importantly, we have to renew Vince's contract in two years. Even if we can match all the contracts offered to him by others, we can let him renew the contract happily and go out for a while before reaching an agreement. Which one is more beneficial to the team, we all know."

"If he becomes a free agent, there will definitely be countless teams offering Vince a maximum salary contract, and many teams will promise him the so-called boss position, unlimited firing rights and the tactical status of the first overall pick. What about us? If we can't even give him a starting position, why should we keep him?"

"Rules? Rules are very reliable, but I don't want to rely on that thing. I believe more in the friendship between brothers."

"But that's too early." Bird couldn't help but said: "There are still two full seasons! There is no need for us to be so anxious."

"It's necessary." Miller said anxiously: "If he goes to other teams, he can become the team leader and All-Star player, but he is here to play as the sixth man, one month is enough, two months Okay, but what if this continues in the long run? Being pressured over by an old guy who is far inferior to me?"

"Can Vince really endure it for two years?"

Miller's words made Bird completely quiet.

Because he knew that Miller was right, very right.

But he couldn't say anything in agreement.

After all, Bird was born as a player, and he is completely different from those managers who have a professional background.

Bird did not speak, and the two of them remained silent for the next three minutes. After the two quietly walked outside the locker room door, they both sighed and opened the door.

Carter was the first to rush over, looked at Miller and said: "Reggie, I heard what you just said, I think you are talking nonsense! Totally nonsense! You are the foundation and soul of this team, I I am willing to be your substitute for the rest of my life!"

"I don't want to be the starter, you are the Pacers' starting No. 2 forever!"

Christie also said: "Even if Vince really needs to start, it should be me. I am the worst among us!"

Ben Ye said angrily: "I'm willing to give in too! Vince and I are actually about the same height. As long as I shave my hair, all I can do is..."

"Shut up, Ben!" Lin Tian kicked Ben on the butt and said, "Who do you want to play center? Reggie or me? Let's give your life directly to you, okay?"

Lin Tian's words caused a burst of laughter in the locker room. Miller looked at his teammates. This temperamental person couldn't hold it back. His nose felt sour and he almost cried.

Bird made up his mind after Carter's words. He clapped his hands and said loudly: "Reggie and I just discussed this issue in the channel, and we have reached an agreement, starting from the next game. , Vince will play as a starter!"

"As for the rest, we will make adjustments based on everyone's status and the situation of the game."

Bird's words can be regarded as the final conclusion on this matter.

"But, I actually..." Carter was about to open his mouth to speak again, but Lin Tian had already hugged his neck.

"Okay, it's enough for our team to have me who likes to contradict Larry. We don't need a second one, so this matter is settled. Stop talking nonsense. You deserve it. Also, today You have to treat me to a treat tonight to celebrate your appointment as the starter!"
