Chapter 707 A New Generation Gives the Old Ones Off (3)

"Good job, Darko." When Darko Milicic directly blocked O'Neal's shot in the first confrontation with O'Neal, the Pacers players on and off the court, They all yelled at Darko Milicic almost crazily, and being able to cover O'Neal's head with a risk, this is definitely a "great achievement" that can be boasted for a long time.

He scored four points in a row in the opening minute, and gave O'Neal a big cap on the defensive end. Darko Milicic's performance just now can only be described as perfect, but for Darko Milicic's performance on the court , Rick Carlisle is satisfied except that he is satisfied. Perhaps in Rick Carlisle's heart, he has long expected Darko Milicic to have such a performance.

In today's game, O'Neal unexpectedly chose to come back early, so after Jermaine O'Neal took a break, Rick Carlisle could only hand over the responsibility of restricting O'Neal to Darko Milicic, and Darko Millic Sic's performance in the past 1 minute also made Rick Carlisle look forward to the next game even more.

The first attack with the ball was mercilessly blocked by Darko Milicic, so O'Neill, who was a little annoyed, was going to let this white kid who had touched his own bad luck taste it in the next game. O'Neal, who has tasted the strength of the big shark, but has already shown 100% of his strength, is surprised to find that he does not know whether he is really old, or this kid is really like the rumors, it is Tim Duncan and Dirk Nor With the combination of Wizki, he couldn't use his physical advantage to crush him when he was playing singles with the ball. Instead, he had to rely on his rich game experience to handle this kid.

After scoring in singles, O'Neal, who slowly retreated to the backcourt, never took his eyes off Darko Milicic. Although this little guy still lacks game experience, this guy's physical talent is absolutely perfect. It is at a historical level, with super long wingspan, excellent movement speed, and amazing strength. If I were 5 years younger, I would be able to teach this kid to be a good person. But now, O'Neill, whose body functions have begun to decline seriously, It is a sad discovery that he may no longer be able to continue to rule the paint area of ​​this league.

"Rick, Darko's performance is really great!" Looking at Darko Milicic, who was only slightly behind in the confrontation with O'Neal, Lester Conor, who was standing on the sidelines at the moment The excitement is beyond words. Although Meng Xu has been feeding Darko Milicic the ball on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Darko Milicic's strength is real. If it weren't for his game experience If there is something lacking, maybe he can have a back and forth with O'Neal today.

"If not too much time wasted in Detroit, Darko's future will be very brilliant." Darko Milicic's current performance also makes Rick Carlisle very pleased, as long as Darko Milicic can If you continue to progress like this, you will definitely have the opportunity to become an All-Star insider in the future. However, the more you think about it, the more regretful Rick Carlisle feels. Two years for the Pistons, one year for the Kings, three full years, Darko Milicic Did nothing, even compared to when he first entered the league, Darko Milicic not only did not make any progress, but also regressed, doing nothing for three years, this is for a player who needs to improve every moment For young players, it is undoubtedly very fatal, because the older he is, the less room for Darko Milicic to improve.

"Darko, good job." After the first quarter, when Darko Milicic stepped off the court, Rick Carlisle handed him a towel and patted him on the shoulder. clapped to show his encouragement.

For the team's performance in the first quarter, Rick Carlisle is very satisfied, especially Darko Milicic, whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, Darko Milicic has almost perfect support. Playing the gap left by Jermaine O'Neal, he scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots in the first quarter. Most importantly, all of these data were against Shark O'Neal cut down.

"Boss, thank you."

"Thank you, NN."

Panting heavily, Darko Milicic sat on the bench and said thank you to Meng Xu and NN Hilario who were sitting next to him wiping sweat. The performance in the first quarter was indeed very good. Not only was O'Neal very uncomfortable on the defensive end, but he also scored the Pacers' highest 11 points on the offensive end, but Darko Milicic knew very well that without NN-Sheila Leo cooperated with himself to double-team. If Meng Xu hadn't deliberately fed him the ball, he would not have been able to play such a performance at all.

"Thank you, we are all for the victory of the game." Smiling at Darko Milicic, Meng Xu continued: "There will be a long time to come. If you are always so polite, you will be too tired. "

"Well, I see." Looking at Meng Xu's bright smile, and NN-Hilario winking at him behind Meng Xu, Darko Milicic was really moved, whether it was in the Pistons or In the Kings, Darko Milicic has never felt such a warm environment in the locker room. They gave Darko Milicic the feeling of colleagues and competitors, while in the Pacers, Darko Milicic Qi felt the warmth of home. Perhaps this is why those Pacers players whose contracts expired would rather cut their salaries and renew their contracts than leave the Pacers.

While Darko Milicic was chatting and laughing with his teammates on the bench, O'Neal was on the other side of the bench with a towel on his head, looking displeased.

Darko Milicic blocked twice in a single quarter, and his opponent scored 11 points on his own head. In O'Neal's memory, he was also facing the big dream Olajuwon and Tim -Duncan, I was so embarrassed.

"Are you really old?" O'Neill looked down at the floor not far away, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He is only a championship!I haven't fulfilled the vow I made when I left Los Angeles, and I haven't fulfilled my promise to bring a championship to Miami!
After handing over the task of arranging tactics to assistant coach Eric Spoelstra, Pat Riley turned his head and looked at O'Neal who was already sitting on the bench. For some reason, after seeing O'Neal After that expression of unwillingness, Pat Riley suddenly felt his nose sore.
