Chapter 480 477: The draft also persecutes the Spurs?The Pacers are a bit liu beeping (5.8K begging tickets)
Blazers and Pacers.

The two teams have been very friendly with each other over the years.

Wayne still gets cheers when he returns to play in the Big Corn.

When the Pacers came to play in the Rose Garden, Wayne mostly greeted them with a smile.

Bird only needs to sell face to get the draft pick of the Trail Blazers.

Similarly, Patterson only needs a phone call to unite Bird to do some business.

Bird often publicly praised Wayne in front of the media, and Wayne repeatedly expressed how much he enjoyed his time in Indianapolis.

What about the players on both sides?

Also very friendly.

Aldridge, Roy and Granger were all members of Wayne's training camp.

Wu Sheng and Wayne, as members of the Pacers' only championship lineup, also have a high status in the hearts of Pacers players.

Fans still remember that in a game last season, Wayne broke through for a dunk, and Aldridge just stood under the basket trying to make Wayne a jerk.

Wayne completed the dunk across Aldridge at the time, but his center of gravity was unstable because he hit Aldridge, and he fell headfirst.

At this time, you have to be someone else, and if you are detained, I wish you could fall to your death.

But Aldridge reached out to support Wayne in time, which prevented Wayne from falling.

It can be seen that the playing atmosphere between the two sides is very friendly.

The ball should be replaced by Bogoute to defend, not only will not help to hold it, but may also help Wei Ge to push it.

In an NBA game, not intentionally hurting an opponent is already considered a good character.

Those who go out of their way to protect their opponents are even rarer.

But the Pacers and Trail Blazers are just such two harmonious teams.

The two teams have been getting along in harmony until now, but this season Wayne discovered that the Pacers are already hiding a knife behind a smile.

Playing with them is still harmonious, but when it is time to go all out, the Pacers are not ambiguous at all.

Having been in harmony with the Pacers for a long time, when Wayne faced them, he lost the sense of crisis that he should have when facing an opponent.

Therefore, the last time the two sides played against each other, the Pacers suddenly lost to Wayne, and Wayne was still a little bit unresponsive.

The Pacers this season are no longer the gentle Pacers.

They probably won't hurt you, they won't attack you.

But at the basketball level, they are no longer at the mercy of others.

The Pacers are definitely the top force in the league right now!

So today, back in the Big Cornfield again, Wayne is no longer taking things lightly.

He didn't come here to reminisce, this time, he came here to fight!

"Wei, the guillotine was a great trick last time!"

Before the start of the game, when the players on both sides were still warming up, Bird took the initiative to greet him and hugged Wayne.

Although it has been many years since the divorce, Bird's heart still throbs every time he sees Wayne.

Surely we'd be very happy if it weren't for Walsh Nabee messing around among us.

But Walsh should have realized by now what it means to be self-inflicted and unable to live.

At the beginning, he thought that when he went to New York, he could build an army of good kids according to his own ideas.

The results of it?
As a result, Curry, who New York was thinking about, was cut off by the Blazers, and as far as the current situation is concerned, this twisted melon is really sweet.

Now, New York is going after Angua with all its strength, which is actually not Walsh's idea.

The idea of ​​trading Melon was proposed by the team consultant Smiling Assassin.

Walsh fully opposed this idea. He believed that the team should not take all the potential shares for Melo, especially when Melo is about to become a free agent.

The Knicks can wait for the naked sign. If Angua has just been traded but finds that he is not satisfied after half a season, and then jumps out and becomes a free agent, then the Knicks will be completely finished.

From the perspective of risk control, Walsh's proposal is not unreasonable.

But Dolan doesn't care about him as the general manager at all, so he's Carmelo Anthony, please tell me to wait! ?

Uncle has money, why wait?
So Smiling Assassin and Dolan directly bypassed the management headed by Walsh and contacted Melon's management team.

It is equivalent to that Walsh is now a bare-bones commander, completely emptied, and he has lost control of the entire team.

For such a big transaction, if the general manager is directly bypassed, then the title of general manager is in name only.

It is estimated that it will not be long before this general manager, who exists in name only, should pack up and leave.

In the big cornfield, there is a boss who trusts you. If you don't cherish it, just mess around and leave.

Now, knowing that the world is hot and cold, whether it is New York or the cornfield, it has nothing to do with him.

There's no way, it's all done.

Wayne looked at Byrd who came to say hello, and shook his head speechlessly: "What guillotine? I don't even know what you're talking about."

"Hahahahaha, do you think you can fool me? If you can hold back and don't fight back, who beat the five Pistons back then?"

"Hey, no one was young. At that time, they were ignorant, and it was not serious."

"Come on, by the way, do you have any promising rookies this season?" Bird stopped talking to Wayne Shrimp and started talking about business.

Because Bird traded McRoberts for the Blazers' first-round pick before, and that first-round pick became Holiday, who averaged 12+6 per game this season, which is a good deal for the Pacers.

Therefore, Bird has never forgotten this favor.

If the Blazers need to do something in the draft, Bird is willing to fully cooperate.

Anyway, this year, Bird doesn't have any rookies he particularly wants.

Wayne rubbed his chin. If you put it this way, the Blazers want more rookies this year.

But the key is that your Pacers are not ranked high.

Wayne originally wanted to tell Bird, if you really want to return the favor, don't make a deal with the Spurs in this year's draft.

Because of Wayne's previous life, Leonard was traded by the Spurs for George Hill to the Pacers.

At that time, the old thief Vicki was still very reluctant.

But after thinking about it, with the current pick of the Pacers, even if the Spurs want to change Leonard, they will not find the Pacers.

hmm leonard
Speaking of it, Leonard is the top priority if the dog wants to rise.

If he could get the facial paralyzed guy, wouldn't the old thief fall directly from the altar?

Isn't it wonderful?

This year, the Trail Blazers have three first-round picks, one from the Clippers, one from the Warriors when they traded Paul, and one of their own.

The Clippers' lottery pick needs to be kept, and there are only two left.

Although the remaining two picks must be relatively late, and because 11 is recognized as a small draft year, the value is not high.

But it should be possible to trade up with two late first-round picks.

If Leonard can be cut off, that's it.
It just so happens that Wu Sheng is getting older, and playing for a few years just happens to seamlessly connect.

Perfect, harming others and benefiting oneself!

Old thief: I really persecuted my old comrade to the end! ?

"Wei, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's nothing, you talk to Patterson about this kind of thing. Anyway, be careful of the Spurs."

Bird nodded, then saw that the game was about to start, and didn't bother Wayne to warm up.

At this time, it wasn't just Wayne who was making Leonard's idea.

"That's it? A short power forward who got 40 points from Fredette?" The veteran Vichy looked at the scouting report of the paralyzed man and shook his head.

He is not interested in Leonard, and now he wants James Johnson to come back sooner.

Without Johnson, the Spurs will only be able to play Baobonna in these few games.

The old thief doesn't think that a short power forward with a barefoot height of 1 meters can do anything in the NBA.

Not to mention Sir Ba, who has Sir Ba's big ass?
And as soon as Jazz is mentioned, the old thief will think of the embarrassing scene when he was almost beaten to death by the assistant coach on the opposite side.
Physical and psychological discomfort!
Of course, like Leonard, you can consider transforming into a swingman.

However, this kid with facial paralysis at a young age only made 27.5% of his three-pointers in the NCAA this season.

The NCAA sharpshooter has come to the NBA, and the three-pointer may not be accurate, not to mention that this guy is a blacksmith in the NCAA, and he can shoot outside.

Budenholzer, who recommended Leonard to the old thief, said: "Leonard has very good defensive ability and rebounding ability, and his physical fitness is also very good. If he can develop a stable shot, then his upper limit will be particularly high! If he can also develop outside skills, then his upper limit will be incredible! He is a piece of jade in the rough, let us carve it!"

The old thief sighed, yes, but these are all ifs.

Moreover, with the Spurs' record, it is impossible for them to get Leonard directly.

For Leonard, a trade must be made.

Although Leonard's market is not high, there is a high probability that it will not fall below 20.

Trading players for a piece of jade in the rough, the old thief thought it was not worth it.

"How do you know if you don't try? You're not a real man if you don't rush!" Budenholzer continued to rage.

The old thief glanced at Budenholzer, and temporarily left the facial paralyzed man's report.

Now, let's consider how the Spurs can stabilize the ranking.

Grizzlies: Hold on, Ning must hold on, or I won't be able to beat anyone in the playoffs!

Back in the big corn field, amidst the cheers of the fans, the starters of the Trail Blazers and Pacers stepped into the center of the court as if they were playing a friendly match.

The two sides hugged and shook hands again, and the atmosphere was extremely good.

Wayne looked at the starting five of the Pacers. Good guy, if they are all at their peak, this damn is an All-Star lineup.

Point guard Holiday and shooting guard Roy averaged 22.6 points per game this season. They were the best three-team shooting guard last season, second only to Nao Ke and Di Wei.

Small forward Daniel Granger averaged 20.5 points per game and made 38.6% of his three-pointers. He was selected to the All-Star team in the 08-09 season.

Power forward Aldridge, because of the presence of Roy and Granger, so Aldridge averaged only 16.3 points per game.

But this product is just because there are not so many shots, so the data is not so good, it does not mean that the strength is weaker than the original history, and it is still an unsolvable mid-range finisher.

The center is Black Yao Ming Roy Hibbert, who is 2 meters tall. Although Wayne has always believed that the nickname Black Yao Ming is for black Yao Ming, this product has indeed brought a certain effect to the Pacers' frame protection.

After all, that was the person who gave Lao Zhan a headache at his peak.

Looking at the data alone, Hibbert averaged only 12+8 per game in his peak season, but this is actually a misunderstanding.

Because Hibbert's peak wasn't one season, it was one fucking series
In the Eastern Conference finals of the 12-13 season, Pacers VS Heat, Black Yao Ming averaged 22.1 points + 10.4 rebounds + 1 block per game, second only to Mousse in scoring per game.

With an outstanding performance in a series, Hibbert is considered to be the next dominant behemoth center.

Then it died before it even started to rule.

This lineup, coupled with the training of Frank Vogel, who gritted his teeth and scolded the opponent for only using full-level numbers when he saw James, was indeed very powerful.

Among them, Roy really wants to make a big fuss. His efficiency value this season is second only to Wayne, Mousse, Di Wei, Paul, Howard, Lao Dengtou and Nao Ke, ranking eighth in the league, which means that his efficiency value is super giant level.

This is mainly due to the Pacers' maintenance of Roy, allowing him to play healthy and healthy until the 10-11 season-Wayne's previous life, Roy's last glory stopped in the 09-10 season.

The trailblazer in Wayne's previous life basically let Roy come back early every time he was injured.

Wayne had seen Roy's injury report before. When he was found to have a right kneecap contusion and a slight cartilage tear, the Blazers only let him rest for 8 days before returning from the fire.

After Roy's two knees underwent arthroscopic surgery, he came back in just 20 days.

Injured, forced to come back.Injured again, forced to come back again.This made Roy, whose knees were already fragile, overwhelmed. In the end, he could only sigh with emotion.

As for the Pacers version of Roy, although he has also experienced several knee injuries.For example, Roy didn't play in the first half of last season because he just had the broken cartilage out of his knee the summer before last.

But because the Pacers allow Roy to fully recover and cultivate every time, Roy can still run in the league, and this year has turned the Pacers into a serious championship team.

Wayne didn't know that Roy's career in the Big Cornfield could extend his career by several years.According to the condition of Roy's knee, no matter how much he takes care of it, it is impossible to completely change his life against the sky and hit 37.

However, playing healthy and well into his early thirties, Wayne felt that there was no major problem.

The most important thing is that even Wayne doesn't know how strong Roy will become in the future.

This guy, known as the "Yellow Mamba", no one has seen what he looks like when his skills are fully mature.

Roy stared at Wayne, his senior, the big devil in college, and secretly rubbed his hands.

He knew that if he wanted the championship, he had to beat all these western powerhouses.

Come on Brother Wei, talk with the ball!
With a whistle, black Yao Ming won the first attack for the Pacers.

Wayne immediately clung to Aldridge, the fourth position who was as tall as himself, and had an unbelievable mid-range touch.

Even if he puts it a little bit, he can throw the ball for you.

When Holiday went beyond the three-point line, Roy just came out through the off-ball screen.

Holiday handed the ball to Roy, and Tony Allen naturally stayed close.

But at this time, Roy hit the ground lightly, dealt the card at the top of the arc, and gave the ball to Granger who cut in.

Well, Roy is not a simple attacker.Compared with the real shooting guard, he has a very good performance in the series offense.

So much so that Naka once suggested to him: "You have to play more selfishly."

This teaching can be said to be very chatty.

Granger's speed is beyond the reach of the current martial saints.

When he was still playing for the Pacers, Wu Sheng knew that Granger would become a star one day.

Granger cuts inside, catches the ball and jumps for a layup.

But just halfway through the flight, Granger saw Wayne pounce on him.

"Damn it!" Granger felt a urge to urinate at that moment, he knew how scary Wei Ge's frame guard was.

Thus, Granger turned into a pass in the air and distributed the ball to Aldridge in the middle distance.

It's not that I, Ajie, don't want to score, but Brother Wei's hot pot is too hot.

Wayne tried to reach the pass with his hands, but the basketball flew past his fingertips.

Their tacit understanding is great!

You know where your teammates are even with your eyes closed.

"Oops!" Wayne knew that this ball really can only pray for Aldridge to feel bad.

Aldridge received the basketball and immediately shot a jumper.

Wayne's return to defense is fairly quick, but this level of interference won't affect Aldridge.

Adelaide made a hollow shot into the net, the Pacers 2-0!

"Fuck!" Wayne shook his head, and he remembered the feeling of losing sight of the other in the last fight.

Although the Pacers have a lot of young talents, they never get angry, let alone fight for the right to shoot.

Granger is more than capable, but lacks leadership, and he himself knows this, so he is willing to be the second child and never show off.

Ade's character is originally the kind that does not fight or grab, so he doesn't care even if he is the one with the least shot power among the three.

And the leader Roy, although an attacker, is happy to share the ball.

Holiday himself is a point guard and doesn't ask for a shot.

Therefore, this team is a team that does a very good job of sharing the ball.

A defense monster as strong as Wayne is also difficult to block every bullet hole under this kind of extreme ball sharing.

The last loss to the Pacers was because they shared the ball so well that the Blazers' defense was cut into pieces.

For the Blazers to attack, Wayne played pick-and-roll with Curry as always.

Curry was about to make a three-pointer after throwing off Holiday, and Aldridge switched defenses.

The Pacers' defense pays attention to pressing the three-point line and the three-second zone, and putting them in the middle distance.

Frank Vogel is a smart man. This man who went from being a handyman on the court to the position of NBA head coach knows that there is no perfect defense in basketball games, and you have to give something to others.

You can't let the other person lose a point.

That being the case, then don't let the opponent shoot a three-pointer with a faster score increase, and don't let the opponent hit the three-second zone with a higher success rate, just give the opponent a mid-range shot!

CIC, no matter how accurate it is, it is difficult to kill people in one wave.And nowadays, more and more players are less likely to score in the middle distance.

Because from the perspective of data analysis, mid-range shots are the lowest "cost-effective" option.

Therefore, Aldridge saw Curry was about to shoot a three-pointer, and rushed out without hesitation.

Seeing this situation, Bold Er immediately thought of Brother Wei.

Well, whenever you are most helpless and overwhelmed, it is right to give the ball to Brother Wei~
What's the point of going to revive New York?It's still fun to hug Brother Wei's thigh.

The moment Wayne got the ball, Holiday wanted to cut it.

As a result, Wayne just held the basketball high with one hand.

Holiday jumped up to reach the ball at first, but after jumping twice and seeing Wayne's contemptuous eyes, he suddenly had the feeling that the clown was actually me.
Holiday:
Brother Wei, everyone is friendly, don't bring such humiliation!

Taking advantage of this extremely humiliating moment, Wei Ge made a breakthrough and succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

Well, Wayne, who is 2 meters tall, passed the opposing point guard.

It's so outrageous!
Wayne is determined to hit the middle distance today, and I will win you with whatever you give me!
Vogel showed the gritted expression when he looked at James again. Damn, he will play the full number, right?

If you have a kind of kind, you can lend me Wayne to play two games!
I am not opposed to the full-level number, I am just sour.

However, Wayne's goal did not dampen the passion of the Pacers. This season they are fearless, they are here to compete for the championship!

They don't want to be the bullshit Young Guard anymore, the Young Guard is Thunder.

Now they want to be serious champions!
Roy made a mid-range jumper after the pick-and-roll, breaking the Blazers' defense again.

Teacher Tony's interference was a step slower, and he was killed by the yellow mamba in just one step.

But soon, Curry also returned a mid-range shot to the Pacers.

At this time, except for the die-hard fans of the Trail Blazers and Pacers, other fans chose to turn the channel.

Slip away, you guys like this, you shoot a mid-range one and I shoot a mid-range one, interesting?
So ugly!

The game between the Trail Blazers and the Pacers is a pick-and-roll contest.

The rhythm is slow and the style is retro. It can be said to be an artifact of sleep aid.

But if you like to watch it, you can watch it with gusto.

Every tactical run, every decisive shot, every delicate pass
It's all fun!

In the first quarter of the game, the two teams tied for 22 in mid-range shots.

Both sides did not dunk in the first quarter, and they scored two three-pointers in total, and the others were all mid-range shots and free throws.
It’s just that!

After Wayne finished the first quarter, he found that the Pacers were really stable.

Much more difficult than No. [-] in the West.

But Wayne still wants to solve the game in three quarters, not because he wants to leave work early, but because
This season, there is a word about Roy circulating in the market.

"Looking at the data, you don't think Roy is strong. But if you let him enter the fourth quarter with plenty of physical strength and no foul trouble, you will find that he can compete with the whole world."

Wayne doesn't want to personally test the authenticity of this sentence. The risk of fighting a scythe is too high.

　The [-]D update is here, begging for votes!
