Chapter 137 Chapter 134: An Extremely Luxurious Substitute (4.6K Request Tickets)

Wayne became the Eastern All-Star starting forward, which is undoubtedly the biggest news in the NBA circle recently.

Although from the first round of voting, the probability of Wayne becoming the starter is very high.

But when it did happen, the sensation was beyond Wayne's expectations.

So much so that in the game against the Mavericks at home on February 2, when German Harris, the No. 4 pick in the 04 class, came up to say hello to Wayne before the game, Wayne was still a little bit unresponsive.

"Congratulations, Wei, you are the first player in the 04 class to be selected for the All-Star Game. You have made a good start for us." Harris' enthusiasm was like a young rookie who was excited when he saw an idol.

In a sense, Wayne is Harris' idol now.

Who wouldn't want to be an All-Star at a young age?Who doesn't want to be a blockbuster as soon as he enters the league?

Now, when there is really a player in the 04 class who can do all this, the players in the same class are either jealous or admire.

Clearly, Harris falls into that category of admiration.

Okafor: Jealousy?I envy him?Eight possibilities, absolutely eight possibilities!I'm averaging double-doubles per game, and I'm the best rookie!

Seeing that Harris was so enthusiastic, Wayne asked casually: "Actually, I have a bigger plan than being selected as an All-Star. I don't know if you are interested.

I think you have amazing bones and amazing speed, and you are a wizard who can become a star.Now, there is a Tathagata God who has an opportunity to become famous in advance, but I don't know if you are willing to seize it. "

Wayne narrowed his eyes. Talking about this cake painting technique, Wayne is not targeting anyone. He is really much better than other rookies of the same class!

After all, if you eat more cakes, you will be able to paint.

"Really? What chance?" The young Harris' eyes lit up, with an expression of wanting to follow Wei Ge to work harder.

As the No. 5.7 pick last year, Harris' statistics this season are not very good, averaging only 2.2 points and [-] assists per game.

Although less playing time is one aspect, Harris' performance on the court is indeed not good.

The shooting rate is low, and the assist-to-turnover ratio is ridiculously low. These are not things that can be fooled by throwing the blame and giving playing time.

As a comparison, the Mavericks used Jamison, who came to Harris in exchange for chips, and the data is naturally much better.

If Harris was a high school student, that would make sense.After all, high school rookies need time to adapt to professional competitions.

But Harris he is a junior player!

A junior high-ranked player enters the NBA and plays so badly, it is inevitable that he will be criticized by the fans.

Just like Okafor, you don't care what his record is, but his average double-double is stable anyway. This is the perfect old and high-ranked player in people's minds.

Therefore, Harris was called a parallel importer every three days and was about to be held by the Dallas media.

There are also Mavericks fans who think that he is not worth a Jamison at all, and it is a complete waste of the chip of the best sixth man.

Therefore, Harris is eager for an opportunity, a chance for redemption, and a chance to prove himself.

So as soon as he heard Wayne fooling around, Harris immediately fell into the trap.

"Well, that's right, me"

Wayne quickly told Harris about his plan to beat the 03 Super Platinum generation.

After hearing this, Harris was a little shocked.

The 03 generation, although they are only in the second grade, but the four strongest players are already well-known star players in the league.

beat them?

Seeing Harris's expression of surprise, Wayne thought it over.

This kid must think I'm trying to fart.

As a result, Harris seemed to admire Wayne even more: "As expected of you, you are the only one who has the courage to do such a thing! Don't worry Wei, as long as there is a need for me, I will work hard.

Let's try it together and turn this rookie game into a 04 carnival. "

"Uh, then it's decided on German. The rookie game is half a month later, so we have to work hard."

After Wayne finished speaking, he shook hands with Harris, who bounced back to the bench.

This guy seems to have become a warrior with a heavy responsibility

As far as Wayne knows, Harris likes playing games very much. He grew up playing PS since he was a child. He was the number one game boy in the NBA before Hayward.

Boys who liked to play games since they were young, had some middle school fantasies when they were young.

Well, Wayne seems to have another strong general under his command.

Although Harris is still average in all aspects, he is really fast.

Take advantage of this, maybe you can do something.

After talking about Harris, Wayne also had to focus on the game.

That's right, I'm not here to recruit teammates today.The most important goal is to win.

Dallas Mavericks, currently 30 wins and 14 losses, is undoubtedly a difficult opponent.

The last time the two sides met, Dirk and Xiao Ao had a mutual explosion in various positions, and they were sweating profusely.

As a result, the balance of victory was tilted because of a Jordan successor, Mike Finley, who came out midway, and the Pacers finally lost.

Today, Carlisle asked Toutai to defend Finley, just to prevent him from performing at a super level again.

In addition, Wayne continued to return to the bench today.

"Wei, your task is still the same as last time, to fight against Stackhouse during the rotation time, and don't let them gain an advantage during the rotation time."

"Jeser!" Wayne nodded vigorously, gearing up.

This has become an All-Star starter, and he has to show some decent performance.

After the game started, the on-site commentators also joked: "How luxurious is the lineup of the Pacers? They actually use the All-Star starting forward as a substitute!"

Joking aside, Wayne would rather play as a substitute today.

Going up to face Dirk in the first round, doesn't that mean giving away a head.

Wouldn't it be nice to play the sixth man, avoid Dirk, and get more shots.

On the court, Dirk and Jermaine are still exchanging passion in various postures.

However, the difference from last time is that the hit rate of the two of them is not very high today, and no one can beat the other.

Finley wanted to take the opportunity to start again, but Toutai asked him: "You don't think the core of the Pacers is really the guy who can't score?

You've got a big deal today, Mike.Captain of the Pacers, will destroy you himself! "

Then, Counselor tried his best to put Finley on autism.

In this way, after playing 8 minutes in the first quarter, the scores of the two sides are still very anxious.

At this time, Don Nelson replaced Stackhouse, replaced Dirk, and let the German tank refuel a little.

The scoring task of the Mavericks temporarily fell to Stackhouse's shoulders.

Carlisle saw that Stackhouse finally appeared, so he waved his hand and replaced the "Payne" combination.

The pick-and-roll cooperation between Payton and Wayne is definitely a bug in the rotation time.

On the Mavericks' side, the 33-year-old veteran Alan Henderson came on as a substitute for Dirk.

Henderson was also able to contribute 13+7 in his peak period. He has excellent athletic ability and is very good at rushing to the basket.

But after experiencing serious injuries in the 01-02 season, he was basically in a state of being unable to recover.

Now, it can only be used as a backup blue-collar.

Of course, Wayne knew that his real opponent was not Henderson, but Stackhouse who was also ready to kill.

So as soon as he played, "Payne" was not idle.

"Hey, kid, I will defend you personally today. In terms of your shooting percentage, I shouldn't be under any pressure." Payton's mouth could not be idle for a second.

Stackhouse ignored it. After all, he has also been beaten by the society in recent years, and he is no longer the Jordan junior who thought highly of himself.

"Gary, who are you talking to?" At this moment, Wayne joined the battlefield.

"Oh, no one, a substitute."

"Fuck!" Stackhouse clenched his fists and cursed in his heart.

Stackhouse had to accept the role of sixth man this season because of groin and knee problems.

But from the bottom of my heart, Stackhouse still hopes to be able to start.

He really began to accept the role of the sixth man, and he will not accept it until the arrival of "Little General" Avery Johnson.

Now, Stackhouse is still somewhat resistant to the role of the bench.

But there is no way, now it is not the same as before, he can only accept it.

But Peyton's special pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, which made Stackhouse's mood a little warmed up.

The game restarted, and Wayne and Payton played a pick-and-roll cooperation as soon as they came up.

The ball was Payton's breakthrough, and Wayne bounced outside the three-point line.

Because he was afraid of Wayne's three-pointer, Alan Henderson did not follow Payton, but ran out to defend Wayne.

Seeing this situation, Wayne suddenly cut to the inside again, and Alan Henderson had no time to react.

You go in and out, who can bear it.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Henderson couldn't catch up with Wayne at all.

So, Payton lightly tossed the ball diagonally backwards, and Wayne followed up with an alley dunk.

The classic "Payne" cooperation made the fans in the Bankers Life Arena cheer.

Harris looked at Wayne after the dunk landed, and almost couldn't help but want to applaud

Fortunately, he suddenly saw the Mavericks jersey he was wearing, and then he controlled his hands.

Today, Dirk and Ao's shooting percentages were not high, and Finley was clamped by Taizi again.

Therefore, the duel of the sixth man is very likely to determine the direction of the game.

Wayne put on a show as soon as he came up, and the All-Star starter came off the bench, that's how luxurious it is.

Not to be outdone, Stackhouse was quick to find his way back on offense.

But this time, Payton really blocked his shooting space.

At this time, Stackhouse's speed was greatly affected because his groin and knees were not healthy.

Relying on his own experience, the physically fit Payton caught Stackhouse in a daze.

In the end, he made an emergency stop jump shot in the middle distance, but was seriously interfered by Payton.

Originally, Stackhouse was not known for his efficiency, but now coupled with Payton's key marking, it is even more far-fetched.

Wayne grabs the rebound and hands the ball to Payton.

This time, it was still Wayne who bounced out after the pick-and-roll.

Alan Henderson was afraid of Wayne's breakthrough, so when Wayne held the ball and made a three-threat move, he unconsciously took a step back.

Is this still available?

Wayne seized the opportunity and pulled out his hand directly, smearing Henderson's face and scoring 5 points in a row!

Do you think Brother Wei can really let go?

"Beautiful outside pace, I think the next All-Star LeBron should be selected as a forward position, and Wei Cai should be selected as a guard position."

The on-site commentators shook their heads, old Henderson must be unlucky today.

Alan Henderson is really uncomfortable. Nima, who would have thought that as a backup blue-collar, he would have to start against the All-Stars!

This is not a joke!

Rick Carlisle, you are not human!

Carlisle scratched his long hair, then continued to shout, "Hit, hit hard!"

Then the Mavericks attacked, and Harris immediately turned on the sprint mode after receiving the bottom line ball, and he couldn't see anyone in a blink of an eye.

In the end, he made an easy layup before the Pacers could react.

Many people saw the score change, only to realize that someone rushed over just now

"This..." Wayne rubbed his eyes, Harris's speed seemed to be in fast replay.

It felt like it took only a few seconds before he rushed across the court and made a layup.

Of course, after the layup, Harris also rushed to the third row of the auditorium before buffering.

This calf is kicking really hard.

Well, Harris' speed is indeed an exaggeration.At this time, Wayne had a bold idea in his heart, maybe he could use Harris to seize the opportunity in the rookie game!

After that, Wayne hit two goals in the middle distance and scored 9 points in a single quarter, showing his all-star demeanor.

On the other hand, Stackhouse made 4 of 1 shots under Payton's defense.

So far, the Pacers have successfully opened up a little score.

In the sixth-man duel, the Pacers have a clear advantage.

After the start of the second quarter, Wayne continued to play.But on the defensive end, he was sent to defend Dampier.

Dirk still had to exchange passion with Xiao Ao.

Defending Dampier, who is known as the second center in the West, Wayne is not panic at all!

Because Dampier is a defensive center, his offensive ability is not very good.He is good at one-on-one defense and rebounding, and the Mavericks signed him only as a backup tire for the unsuccessful introduction of O'Pang.

Therefore, it will not really give Dampier too many shots.

Therefore, on the defensive end, Wayne basically has no pressure.

But on the offensive end, Wayne can embarrass Dampier very much.

In the first round against Dampier on the offensive end, Wayne took the ball and walked beyond the three-point line.

At this time, Dampier opened his arms and repeated a sentence in his heart: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Why am I following outside the three-point line instead of in the three-second zone I am familiar with?"

The second center in the Western Conference expressed his frustration, what kind of hero are you planning to pull me out, you have the guts to fight inside!

Wayne grinned at Dampier and began to dribble slowly.

Because of Dampier's knee injury, his lateral speed is not as good as before.

It's okay to defend him alone in the low post, but if he really wants to be pulled to the outside, Dampier doesn't even have the biggest weapon of defense.

Wayne made a change and headed towards Dampier's left, and the second center in the West hurriedly followed. Seeing that Wayne was about to rush past Dampier, he suddenly took a back and changed hands.

This second consecutive change of direction directly put Dampier in a circle.

Damn, use this kind of person as the fifth position?Carlisle, you can be a human being.

Carlisle was scolded X2.

Dampier knew that he had to quickly adjust his center of gravity to stop Wayne, but his body couldn't react.

As a result, Wayne easily passed the second center in the West just like passing a wooden stake.

Accelerate, draw into the penalty area, and smash with one hand.

Dampier strong defense?I don't think so either!

"Hey, this is an unconventional fifth-position matchup! Wayne swung Dampier away with two beautiful consecutive changes of direction, and Dampier didn't respond at all."

"Pretty Wei, this is what I told you, passing him is like crossing the road in the morning." Peyton rushed up to high-five Wayne.

Of course, the high fives were just a cover, the main thing was to come up and have a few flirty words with Wayne.

This No. 99 is very appetizing to Payton, because no matter what you say, he can catch it.

"No, no, no, I have to look left and right when crossing the street, Gary. Just now, it was like crossing my living room."

Although the two did not speak to Dampier on purpose, but the volume was so loud that it would be too far-fetched for you to say that it was not intentional.

Dampier almost broke his teeth, two bitches!

But it's useless to be angry. It's a fact that Dampier can't prevent players like Wayne.

And after Wayne pulled Dampier away, Xiao Ao's offensive efficiency also increased.

Because at this time in the interior, the German chariot could not get help from anyone, and could only resist Xiao Ao single-handedly.

Xiao Ao did not disappoint Wayne, and succeeded in singles against Dirk in the low post several times in a row.

Slowly, the Pacers took the initiative in the game.

Wayne, the All-Star starter, has shown his value.

Don Nelson couldn't sit still when the Pacers widened the gap to 11 points.

The main reason is that I really can't stand Dampier being pulled out of military training like a fool.

So he called a timeout and made some alignment adjustments.

"Dirk, you go meet that fancy ball-handler kid."

Dirk glanced up at the nearest young All-Star in the limelight.

Well, you actually asked me to defend?
