Chapter 171 168: The playoff killer was born? (4K begging ticket)

"Wayne, he's like a shadow today, he's everywhere."

At the press conference after the game, "General" Arenas shook his head with a smile, explaining why he was so strong today.

Then, people are discussing how good Wayne's defense is today, without mentioning how strong Arenas is today.

Kobe looked at it and called him an expert, Arenas is a good guy!

I said why so many people complained about my blacksmithing, and it was fine for others to blacksmith.

It turned out that the posture was wrong!

But you want me to praise him for his good defense?

Dream it!

Well, in fact, it is not impossible for Kobe to praise his defense, but the person he will praise is still doing some errands in Boston to buy drinks.

When Kobe was still applauding Arenas' language art, Wayne, who had already returned home from the game, was very excited, went back to the room and locked the door.

No matter how many times you experience this thrill of secretly doing indescribable things, it makes your heart beat faster!

"Finally, the 55-win reward that I've been thinking about day and night, it's here!"

Wayne opened the system backpack and found that the reward had been lying there quietly.

Upgrade the badge directly to the purple level, what are you waiting for, of course it is an upgrade

Well, Wayne hasn't actually thought it through yet.

At present, Wayne can choose to upgrade a total of four badges, namely "offensive kaleidoscope", "long-lasting delay", "deterrence in restricted area" and "tough defense".

Big Heart Killer itself is purple, and Man of Steel is already the highest level.

Of these four, no matter which one is upgraded, the ability will be greatly improved.

This is not the first time Wayne has tried the power of the purple badge.

It can be said to be very incomprehensible.

After thinking about it carefully, Wayne was the first to rule out "tough defense".

Although "tough defense" combined with "long-lasting delay" seems to be very fragrant, but Wayne's current strength attribute itself is very weak.

Even upgrading "Tough Defense" to purple doesn't work to its maximum effect.

After the upgrade, you can kick and punch the fat shark?

Not very realistic.

The second one to be excluded is "Restricted Zone Deterrence", because the defensive boost effect of this badge is only valid within the three-second zone.

Wayne's current defensive style is no longer focused on protecting the frame like in college, but a helper who runs the full half of the court.

Most of the time, they interfere with others outside the three-second zone.

Therefore, it is not worthwhile to use this rare opportunity for "restricted area deterrence".

In the end, only "offensive kaleidoscope" and "delayed persistence" are left.

Wayne touched his chin, do you think this long-lasting delay will be useful not only on the basketball court?

"Fuck, pay attention, Wayne!" Wayne patted himself on the head, and he blamed the box of gifts from Artest, which interrupted his train of thought by placing it in the room.

Speaking of which, the whole box of gifts has not been used up to now, so it won't be true that they won't be used after the expiration date, right?

Heck, focus, focus

In the playoffs, the confrontation is strong, the schedule is intensive, and there are indeed high demands on physical fitness.

If this physical badge can be upgraded to purple, it is no exaggeration to say that Wayne is a physical monster!

Even if you beat the Sharks for 48 minutes, you probably won't be physically exhausted.

Wayne is still very confident about the purple quality badge.

It seems that it is quite practical.

But after thinking about it, in this playoffs, physical fitness alone is not enough.

What is the difference between the playoffs and the regular season?In addition to strong confrontation, there is also stronger pertinence.

In the regular season, everyone may play according to conventional tactics.Except for some key games, it may not be so serious to be honest.

But in the playoffs, if you have a weakness, you will be caught by the opponent and beaten to death.

And any strong point will become the target of the opponent.

This means that there will be fewer easy scoring opportunities, and the ability to attack hard is especially important.

Why is it said that the playoffs are the stage for stars, because generally it is the stars who have such a strong offensive ability.

Like Kobe, he is used to having no difficulties and creating difficulties, so he is very suitable for the playoffs.

Just like that, last season's finals were also stared down by the little prince.

It is well known that some "regular season stars" will wither as soon as they enter the playoffs. To put it bluntly, he can't do it in the face of more targeted defense.

It's just the playoffs.

And this is exactly what Wayne is a little worried about.

Although the Pacers have a good record this season, to be honest, they mainly rely on defense.

The offensive style of play is still more team-oriented.

Little Ao, Artest, and Wu Sheng's attacking abilities are not up to the point where they will definitely be able to shoulder heavy responsibilities at critical moments.

Not to mention Xiao Ao, in Wayne's previous life, Xiao Ao was often ridiculed as a "regular season superstar playoff giant baby".

It may be an exaggeration to say this, but it is a fact that Jr.'s dominance in the playoffs is not as good as in the regular season.

As for Artest, he is not a scorer himself.Wu Sheng played slyly in the regular season, but he may be able to exert some success in the playoffs.

Miller is always old. The goal that was chased by the little prince in the playoffs last season was really two or three years younger and he might have scored.It is a bit difficult to expect him to attack the fortifications.

Peyton?Didn't see that he struggled to score in the regular season now.The value of this product lies in organization, defense and escape!

Therefore, what the team needs most now is actually a single player.

When the defense and team offense are not working well, someone must stand up and stabilize the situation.

And if it comes to a critical moment, when no one can open the situation, the purple "big heart killer" plus the purple "offensive kaleidoscope".

"Be good!" Wayne was already thinking about how to celebrate the lore in his mind.

This shit, who is going to fight?

Even if you Ginobili go to heaven as a monster, you can't do anything!

Robert Horry?You are the king of key shots?

If it's over, it's up to you!

From the perspective of the team, Wayne's improvement of his offensive ability will help the team the most.

Considering the entire career of the individual, well, in fact, Wayne does not lose any upgrades.

Therefore, Wayne can only reluctantly give up the "long-lasting delay".

Regardless of whether this thing is useful off the basketball court, Wayne has to give up!

"Upgrade the offensive kaleidoscope badge!"

"Are you sure to upgrade 'Attack Kaleidoscope' to purple quality?"

"OK!" Looking at the system prompt, Wayne clicked the OK button.

"Emblem: Offensive Kaleidoscope (purple, upgradeable)

Effect: Greatly increases the success rate of turnaround shots, step-back shots, pull-up jumpers, and triple-threat post-shots. "

With a flash of purple light, everything became dull.

I, Wayne, should be, uh, a pretty good single player by now, right?

Well, it should be, I really want to find an opponent to try the badge as soon as possible.

But in the next seven games, apart from the Heat, there is no decent opponent.

And the game against the Heat was already the third-to-last game of the season. I don't know if Carlisle will take a rotation.

After today's game, Wayne heard that Carlisle was already discussing the rotation with Mike Brown.

Although the Pacers still have a chance to compete for the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, if they get the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, they can sit back and watch the Heat and Pistons fight each other first.

But Carlisle is also afraid that the end of the season will be too strong and the small will lose the big.

This season, the Pacers have basically not encountered any injury problems. If something goes wrong at the last moment, it will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, Carlisle doesn't have to go to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

If someone gets hurt, so what if they avoid the Pistons?

Hey, so distressed.

It seems that only in the playoffs can we see the greatest power of the purple "offensive kaleidoscope".

That night, Wayne was too excited to sleep.

He has been wondering whether he will become an all-around scorer like Anthony.

Also, if the Pacers and Spurs really make it to the finals, what kind of performance can I play against Daidai?

The last time the two sides played against each other, although Wayne beat Bowen out of Xiang, he knocked Vicky out of his teeth.

But in the face of Dumb, Wayne is actually at a disadvantage.

To put it bluntly, I still can't do it!

There is still a gap in strength, and it is not small.

It doesn't matter if you can't defend, the key is that it is very difficult to play dumb on the offensive end, and you can't even do mutual explosions.

but now with the purple badge

Thinking about it, Wayne felt that it was dawn in a daze, and he didn't sleep well for a few hours.

The next day, with big dark circles under his eyes, Wayne went to the training hall after a simple wash.

Then in the confrontation training this afternoon, Wayne became a dog!

"What the hell? Is he a superstar with reverse growth?" Wayne was startled, I'm afraid it's because he upgraded a fake badge, why doesn't he feel worse than before! ?

"Wei, didn't you rest last night?" After a round of confrontational training, Carlisle, who noticed something strange, also came up to ask about Wayne's situation.

"Uh, I didn't sleep well." Wayne said honestly.

Indeed, I feel groggy all day today, not very in the mood.

It seems that this badge is not invincible.When you are in a bad state, even the purple badge can't save you.

If Wayne's strength today is 70 points, then with the badge bonus, Wayne's strength can reach 90 points.

But if Wayne's strength is only 30 today, even if the badge is added to 50 points, he is still very weak.

The boost effect in the badge should be based on Wayne's own state and ability value, rather than suddenly increasing to a certain value.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that he is a dog today.

It seems that in the future, I still want to be a good young man who goes to bed early and gets up early.

"Didn't sleep well? This Wayne, I also know that you young people are full of energy.

But ahem, you still have to pay attention to your health, Wei.Too much of anything is bad.The playoffs are about to start, so let's exercise a little restraint during this period. "Carlisle said, patted Wayne on the shoulder righteously.

Wayne:? ? ?

wait, did you misunderstand something

"Well, I'm just simply insomnia, Rick."

"Well, you don't need to explain anything. I understand everything, Wayne." Carlisle smiled slightly, putting on the image of a caring and good coach.

Wayne is messed up, no, what do you know?

Can we still get along well?

In such a misunderstanding, Wayne ended the day's training.

The next day, in the home game against the New York Knicks, Carlisle really started to rest.

Last season, the Pacers won 61 games, ranking first in the league in the regular season.

But the ending of the playoffs made Carlisle understand a truth: "The record in the regular season is still equal."

Therefore, this year, Carlisle no longer pursues the first place in the regular season, but serves the playoffs wholeheartedly.

In this game, Jamal Crawford suddenly twitched, as if Jordan had possessed him, and scoring was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

I thought that this game could be easily won even if there was a lot of rest.Who knows, all this was ruined by Crawford.

In the end, Carlisle wanted to return to the main players, but after thinking about it, it is not worthwhile to take risks for a team like the Knicks.

So, he continued to implement his rotation plan.

In this game, the important main players such as Wayne, Jermaine, Miller, Wu Sheng and Payton all played about 25 minutes.

Health basketball is arranged.

Today's game not only didn't have much playing time, Wayne's matchup was not strong enough.

The Knicks' starting four today is second-year forward Michael Sweetney.

This gentleman is only 2 meters tall, but his figure is extremely bloated.

To put it bluntly, he is short and slow, and has no advantage on the defensive end. Even if Wayne doesn't have the purple offensive kaleidoscope, it is completely effortless to beat him, and there is no effect at all.

Although the Knicks won in the end, Carlisle wasn't upset at all.

In his view, the team has entered the playoffs mode.

After the game, Artest was released after serving his sentence, but his suspension expired.

So in the next two games against the Raptors and the Nets, even if the main players only played for about 25 minutes, the Pacers won very easily.

Even though Wayne was killed, the Raptors dared to lose!

Bosh made only 18 of 7 shots in the whole game. He didn't know what he was doing at all, and he was in a bad state.

The best opportunity to take off the hat of the 03 killer just passed away with Wayne.

The next day, the Chinese media: "Wayne still defeated Bosh after only playing 24 minutes. There is no opponent in the 03 class! Invincible!"

Well, I'd better wear this hat, I will definitely have to wear this title this season.

So far, the Pacers have four games left to play, and Carlisle's rotation has entered a more frenzied stage.

"The last four games, except for the last one, I will rest two players every game. Way, Ron, Jermaine, Reggie, Stephen and Gary, you are the lucky six."

Carlisle is indeed a coach who pays great attention to rotation, and he regards this as part of the strategy.

In Wayne's previous life, when Carlisle was with the Mavericks, he would gradually reduce the playing time of the main players from the end of March.

In an interview with reporters, Carlisle also said bluntly: "I understand the fans' strong protests against star rotation, but sometimes a night's rest can make a big difference in a strategic sense."

Now, Wayne has personally experienced Carlisle's enthusiasm for rest.

Wayne really wanted to applaud Carlisle, in order not to be suspected by the league, Nima had to truce in different games, Xiu'er.

What's even better is that Wayne and O'Challa Jr. were scheduled to take a break in the game against the Heat.

Carlisle's explanation is: "Playing the Heat consumes the most on the inside players."

This badge is really impossible to try.

So against the 76ers, the Heat and the Magic, the Pacers, who had received their supernatural powers, lost three games in a row, and finally secured the second place in the Eastern Conference.

So far, the Pacers' 04-05 season regular season, only the last opponent - the Chicago Bulls.

But before that, Wayne had to fly to New York.
