128: The Helpless Kenny Smith (4K)(1/2)
Yao Ming was really exhausted today. He played 41 minutes and scored 9 rebounds and 3 blocks.
The pace of the game was accelerated by the Pacers' counterattacks. Most of the time, Yao Ming was either running back or on the way back.
Without Wayne's double team, Yao Ming feels that it would not be a problem for him to score 30 points today.
But Xiaowei really doesn’t regard me as one of his own!
After Wayne finished the interview, Yao Ming took the initiative to walk up.
Wayne also hurriedly approached Yao Ming, and the two Chinese giants hugged each other in front of hundreds of millions of people.
Wayne scored 32 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds, and Yao Ming scored 9 rebounds and 3 risks. For Chinese fans, this game was perfect.
Both Chinese players produced beautiful statistics.
But for Yao Ming, this game is really fatal.
"Xiao Wei, I think you are targeting me on purpose today." During the hug, Yao Ming patted Wayne on the back and said in his ear.
"No, no, I'm just following the coach's arrangements." Wayne frantically blamed the situation.
"Hey, I didn't expect to lose so much. You played well today, scoring 30+ points for the first time in your career. Keep up the good work. Let's contact you later. I agreed to treat you to dinner."
After saying that, Yao Ming turned and left.
It is indeed a pity to lose this game. The red team is now further away from the eighth place in the Western Conference.
But when Yao Ming saw Wayne performing so well, he realized why he couldn't feel sad?
You feel a little happy after losing the game?
Maybe in Yao Ming's heart, the quality of the national team has always been ranked before the club.
Wayne also turned away, hoping that Stoudemire could hear the message he just conveyed.
Did you see Pierce speak here in the East? Did Jamison speak?
You are the only one with too many things to do!
If that's the case, then let's have a good fight.
I'm a celebrity who doesn't say secret words, so I said in front of the camera that I wanted to mess with you!
Really, Wayne is not afraid of making matters bigger because he is quite confident that he can deal with Stoudemire.
This is not just because Wayne got 30+ points today and then became disillusioned. His confidence is not groundless.
After all, the Suns are No. 1 in the league, and Artest can't defend them to 11 and 0 every time.
To be honest, the Pacers are going to have a real battle with the Suns, who have a complete lineup, and Wayne really can't guarantee that the Pacers can win again.
Note that it is the Sun with a complete lineup. This is the key point in the painting.
So the reason why Wayne is so confident is that the Suns' current lineup is incomplete!
Moreover, the missing person is exactly the leader Nash!
Nash suffered a thigh injury in a previous game against the Wizards and missed two games.
As a result, the Suns played poorly in the next two games.
Beat the Pistons and lost 14 points!
Can you believe that a defensive team like the Pistons defeated the Suns by 14 points?
On the court, neither Johnson nor Nash's "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa could produce Nash's effect.
In the game against the Pistons, the Suns had 13 assists but made 17 turnovers. The entire offense was not gorgeous.
Fast is still fast, but messy.
Stoudemire faced Double Wallace in that game and made only 9 of 24 shots. Although he still scored 26 points, his efficiency was impressive. As an insider, his shooting rate was less than 35%, which was a complete turnaround.
After playing against the Grizzlies, the Suns lost again. Without Nash, the Suns shot only 33.3% from the field and only 26.3% from three-point range.
The efficiency is so low that it doesn't look like an offensive team at all.
And when Stoudemire met Gasol, he immediately beat him into a bully and died.
He made 4 of 11 shots from the field and scored 8 points and 4 rebounds. He is in the fourth place in the Western Conference. What more can he ask for?
It can be seen that the sun with Nash is really rounder than the sun without Nash.
His role and status in the Suns are irreplaceable.
D'Antoni's 7-second offense, to put it bluntly, the soul is Nash.
A mediocre point guard simply cannot grasp the true meaning of the 7-second offense.
Nash's assists alone accounted for almost half of the team's assists, which speaks volumes.
Without Nash, without that precise guidance, Stoudemire can only rely on himself to score.
However, Stoudemire had no offensive tricks at this time, but they were not very precise yet.
Without a piece of cake to eat, efficiency immediately dropped a lot.
Originally, Nash was expected to miss only two games and return to play against the Pacers.
But yesterday afternoon, Wayne saw a piece of news that made people laugh.
It is said that when Nash was fighting with Barbosa in training, because both of them were too serious, Nash injured his leg and then injured his back.
As we all know, Nash's back was born with back injuries and is very fragile.
He was about to come back, but Barbosa pushed him back again: "No, you don't want to come back."
Of course, Barbosa himself didn't end well. It is said that he sprained his ankle while fighting.
The truth is, why should defenders embarrass defenders?
How serious are you guys in this training match?
Is it playing ball or fighting?
After hearing the news, Stoudemire was probably the one who wanted to cry the most.
I wonder if he would want to fight Barbossa.
All in all, what the Pacers will face in the next game is the Suns without Nash.
Therefore, Wayne is very confident that he can fuck Stoudemire!
As long as the team can play like it is today, and as long as that coward can be as active as he is today, it shouldn't be a big problem to win against the brainless Suns!
Wayne walked into the player tunnel happily. Although he was still in Houston, his heart was already in Phoenix.
Really, I have never been so eager to deal with someone.
As soon as Wayne opened the locker room door, he saw Tai Tai being interviewed.
Although Yasuko focused on the defensive end today, she also produced beautiful statistics of 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
The most important thing is that the team beat the red team by 15 points without Xiao Ao, and he was very happy.
"As long as I want, I can play this kind of defense every day. I won't make it easy for any player I play against, even if he was the scoring champion last season."
Tai was chatting and laughing in front of the camera, but who told him to defend Trish from outside the three-point line today and make 0 of 7 shots?
"Then how do you evaluate Wei's performance? He almost got a triple-double today." The reporter continued to ask Artest.
"Great, great. To be honest, Wayne's performance today is second only to mine. In fact, he was quite nervous before the game, but I told him, I have everything under my control, don't worry, you can trust Jay
Maine also trusts me.
As a result, you all saw that Wayne was unbeatable in the fourth position today. He is a good teammate, and with him, we can win a lot of goals!"
Wayne, who was sitting next to Artest, felt like he couldn't hold his elbows anymore. He was wondering if he could speak properly.
I have really become addicted to being a leader.
"But, Wei obviously created more opportunities for you today. Overall, he is leading the team forward." One reporter began to deliberately find trouble.
"Well, have you ever heard of what a spiritual leader is? He is the kind of player who can guide his teammates just by standing on the field. I am a spiritual leader."
"Ouch~" Wayne next to him really couldn't stand listening anymore, he wanted Bilian so much!
I don’t know who was stunned by little Tracy as soon as he came on the field. He asked me to comfort him, pass the ball to him and make him happy, and then he calmed down and played hard.
Spiritual leader bah!
"What's wrong, Wei? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Hahaha, that guy is so nervous." Artest remained calm. This may be the captain's psychological quality.
In short, the Pacers players returned to the hotel in a good mood.
Chinese fans can also go to lunch in a good mood.
At this time, there was another person who was in a very good mood.
Seeing Wayne openly provoking Stoudemire after the game, he was the first to stand up and applaud Wayne.
Bang bang bang!
Such a new rookie is too rare nowadays.
