I am super giant

Chapter 65

With the game played like this, Carlisle couldn't sit still, and was going to call a timeout to make arrangements.

But at this moment, Reggie Miller suddenly looked over and shook his head at Carlisle.

Carlisle was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then sat back directly on the bench.

If O'Neal is the leader of this Pacers team, then Reggie Miller is the spiritual leader of this Pacers team.

Fans like to say that one person, one city.

For example, Iverson represents the 76ers, Kobe represents the Lakers, Wade represents the Heat
Then Reggie Miller represents the Pacers.

Time flies, Miller Sr. has played for the Pacers for 17 seasons, played more than 1200 regular season games and more than 100 playoff games. 80% of the team's records belong to him.

In Indianapolis, you can say that you don't know who Carlisle is, or that you don't know who O'Neal is, or even that you don't know the Pacers, but you definitely can't not know Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller is the basketball symbol of this city.

"Give me the ball!"

In the process of running up the field, Reggie Miller said suddenly.

"it is good!"

The other four all nodded in agreement, and even the boss of the team, O'Neal, nodded as a matter of course.

When it comes to the frontcourt, it is still handed over to O'Neal first.

Jermaine O'Neal attracted double-teams, made a quick pass, and handed it over to Reggie Miller who ran out of space.

Miller Sr. caught and shot.

Swish!
Hit a three-pointer steadily.

16: 9.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Cavaliers attack.

James singled Artest, turned around after the back hit, and at the moment of the breakthrough, James suddenly felt empty and the ball was gone.

Looking back, Miller Sr. has dribbled towards the Cavaliers' half court.

According to James' personality, of course it is impossible to watch Miller score.

Stepping forward with both feet, James returned to the defense at full speed, trying to get the ball back.

Time makes people old, and even the strongest fighter can't fight against time.

Seeing Reggie Miller being caught up by James a little bit, the fans sighed.At this time, everyone remembered that Miller was 38 years old.

The old Miller was naturally aware of the situation behind him. The moment James caught up with him, the old Miller suddenly threw the ball behind him.

"Miller is old. If he is 10 years younger, no! Just 3 years younger, he will play this game by himself."

James has sharp eyes and quick hands, and immediately jumped up to intercept.

But as soon as he jumped up, James regretted it. Miller didn't pass at all, it was just a fake move just now.

The moment James jumped up and was powerless to stop, the old Miller was a jumper that was as standard as a textbook.

Swish!
Also scored, this time it was a two-pointer.

16: 11.

"Boy, you are 100 years too early to guard me. Go back to your Cleveland, the country is where you should be."

After the goal, the elder Miller began to taunt James mercilessly.

Anyone who is familiar with the old Miller knows that his trash talk and big mouth are also unique in the league.

There is a saying that goes like this: Will Miller defend?certainly!He's limiting opponents with his trash talk every night.It's the only way he can defend.

Reggie Miller is a colander defensively, but his trash talk is a real pain in the ass.

Jordan also slapped Miller a few times when he went up because he couldn't bear it.

But James is very sensible, and it doesn't make sense to not talk trash to Miller.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Ilgauskas scored in a single inside.

18: 11.

The Pacers attack and the ball goes straight to Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller faced Davis and made a quick breakthrough directly.

(Don't think that just because Reggie Miller is one of the best shooters in NBA history, Miller can only shoot three-pointers. His breakthrough is just as terrible.)
Davis did not dare to neglect and guarded tightly.

But at this moment, the old Miller suddenly stopped suddenly, raised his hands high, and made a shooting posture.

Davis jumped up instantly, trying to block this shot.

However, this is a shot fake.

The moment Davis jumped up, Miller took a step to the right, avoiding Davis' body, leaned forward, and jumped up.

In the air, Miller leaned forward at 75 degrees and threw the ball with a difficult posture.

And Davis, who had a fake move, could only helplessly watch the ball draw a beautiful parabola and shoot into the basket.

Swish!
Difficult three-pointer, also entered.

18: 14.

"Roar!"

After scoring three goals in a row, Miller was so excited that he rushed to the sideline and roared at the fans.

The fans in Indianapolis were not only not angry, but even more excited. Everyone cheered and almost knocked down the ceiling of the arena.

"Miller moment! I'm seeing a great Miller moment again!"

"Who said he is 38 years old, in my opinion, he is still at the peak of 28 years old. In this league, no one can stop him. He will always be the best shooter in the NBA, bar none!"

The two on-site commentators shouted excitedly.

But for Ye Feng, there is only one feeling at the moment: An old man in a family is like a treasure.

This is why every NBA team needs to keep some veterans who are almost unplayable. At critical moments, they have to come.

Under Miller's brave performance, the Pacers chased 6 points in a row and narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

After that, Jermaine O'Neal and Artest stood up and took over the baton from Miller.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 22:26, ​​and the Pacers led by 4 points.

In the last 6 minutes, the Pacers beat the Cavaliers 6:20, showing their No. [-] strength in the East.

In 6 minutes, the opponent only scored 6 points. This defensive ability is also outrageous.

However, in 2003, the era of defensive wins was considered the norm.After all, it is very common for a team to score less than 70 points in a game, and games with more than 70 and 80 points abound.

Most teams are still pursuing defense.

For example, the Lakers, don't think that with the four superstars and the triangle tactics, the Lakers are an offensive team.

In fact, the core of this team is the terrifying inside defensive combination composed of O'Neal and Malone, and Kobe and Payton form the league's strongest backcourt defensive combination.

Like pistons.

The five positions are all defensive champions, and the combination is a defensive system.

Look at the pedestrians in front of you again.

Artest is the best defensive player, so let's not talk about it.O'Neal's defense is more commendable than offense. His ability to protect the basket and block shots is second to none, not necessarily worse than Duncan and Garnett.

When the Pacers show their true strength, there will be no suspense about winning or losing this game.

57:47 at halftime.

With 101:88 in the game, the Pacers won by a big score, and their record improved to 5 wins and 1 loss, continuing to lead the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers ushered in a five-game losing streak.

Pacers side.

小奥尼尔22分12篮板5助攻2抢断6盖帽，毫无疑问的本场MVP。

阿泰斯特21分2篮板3助攻2抢断1盖帽。老米勒20分5篮板4助攻，哈灵顿12分5篮板4助攻。

Cavaliers.

James had 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.Scored the highest score in the game, but couldn't win the ball.

伊尔戈斯卡斯20分9篮板，布泽尔13分12篮板，戴维斯9分10篮板12助攻。

Ye Feng made 8 of 2 shots and 7 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. His presence was weak.

As soon as the game was over, Charlie Rosen was on the line.

"How about it? My prediction is pretty accurate. The data brush is going to be finished."
