Chapter 89 087: The Right to Randomly Swipe Points

In the afternoon, after the team training, the media opening time came.

The Indian city reporters rushed into the arena, just to see the real face of the No. 12 rookie.

Of course, it is also the first time that the Bankers Life Arena has welcomed so many Chinese journalists.

But after the Chinese reporters rushed in, they did not rush to find Wayne, but first interviewed other Pacers players.

"Wayne has adapted quickly. He is in a better state than everyone else. I believe he will become an indispensable part of the team." Little O'Neal faced the CCTV camera and showed a kind smile.

"Way is great, well, he is really special. By the preseason, everyone will know what he can do." Artest answered obediently, covering his chest.

"He works very hard, and he should have no problem adapting to the team." Team soul Reggie Miller also gave Wayne a high praise.

Next, their evaluation of Wayne will appear in the afternoon "Sports News" and the evening "Sports World".

Chinese players go to the NBA, fans of course want to know the views of these foreigners.

Therefore, after interviewing these Pacers veterans, the Chinese reporters walked up to Wayne.

"My teammates are very enthusiastic and treated me very well. Of course, I also reciprocated their kindness in my own way." Wayne faced the camera with a smile and glanced at Gangtai not far away.

He should have sensed my strong drive!

Of course, not all interviews with reporters are so friendly.

After that, several American journalists came to make trouble.

"Wei, we all know that the Pacers already have Jermaine O'Neal at the power forward position. Do you think the team will adjust the lineup for you next season?"

This is obviously to sow discord. If the Pacers' locker room is messed up, there will be no shortage of news this season.

Although Wayne is a rookie, he is not that stupid yet.Such an obvious pit, would I jump?

"I believe the manager will make the best arrangement for the team."

With a simple sentence, Wayne prevaricated the problem.

"So, you think you can accept the substitute position?"

"If Kobe had as many problems as you did when he was off the bench for the first two years of his career, I guess he would have been traded for talking too much."

Wayne still had a smile on his face, but it was obvious that there was a knife hidden in his words!

The reporter was stunned, this year's rookies are so precocious?

Just entered the league and you will hate people?

Wayne shrugged and walked away from the troublesome reporter.

Well, it seems that I really don't need to memorize the interview script.

Anyway, he didn't want to be Mr. Perfect.

In this way, Wayne passed the first day of reporting to the Pacers safely by relying on an iron elbow.

Before leaving, Carlisle informed Wayne that he would take makeup photos for the new season tomorrow.

No wonder Wayne saw Artest leave as soon as the interview was over, probably busy with shaving his head.

After one summer, Artest's hair almost grew into a head of cauliflower, and the stiff cut was still suitable for him.

"In addition, you have to confirm your jersey number for the last time. Are you sure you want No. 99?"

"Yeah, it's number 99."

"Okay." Carlisle shook his head. Artest just told him 10 minutes ago that he would change No. 23 to No. 91 in the new season.

The number above 90 is indeed worn by very few people, and it can be regarded as a very unique number.

As a result, the Pacers will issue two jersey numbers over 90 at a time next season.

Wayne and Ron Artest, unexpectedly get together

Early the next morning, Wayne, who was still in a daze, was woken up by the ringtone of his "high-end mobile phone".

He picked up his phone and saw that it was Tony.

Horse egg, what gift is this guy going to show off?

"Hey, did Pierce give you the car or the big gold chain." After answering the phone, Wayne said listlessly.

"Damn, is that true?" However, Tony didn't answer Wayne, but asked endlessly.

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Now it's Wayne's turn to be confused, little question mark, do you have many friends?

"I saw news on the Internet that you made a bet with Artest yesterday, and the one who lost 1-on-1 would buy drinks. After 10 minutes, Artest came back with a bunch of drinks?"

"This" Wayne is drunk, has this matter spread on the Internet?

Yes, at that time, besides the players, there were also many trainers.As long as any one of them has a whim, this matter will definitely not be hidden.

Wayne didn't know how to answer now.

It seems to be true that Artest bought a drink and came back!

"Well, there is such a thing." Wayne nodded without denying it.

On the other end of the phone, Tony shed tears of sadness.

Thinking of the picture of himself running down the street with 16 bottles of Gatorade and 14 burgers yesterday, he really felt that he was too sad.

What about receiving a watch worth 3 yuan?It's not the fate of being a younger brother.

Look at Wayne, who asked the old team members to buy drinks for themselves on the first day.

This is called a row of noodles!

The Czech Leopard watch in my hand suddenly became unscented.

"It's okay Tony, work hard, you will be as good as me sooner or later, I look forward to seeing the news in the newspaper that Pierce will buy you a drink someday." Wayne took the opportunity to retaliate and asked you to show me before the fuck!

This brotherhood is really loyal, and Wayne is in a good mood early in the morning.

Hanging up the phone in a loud voice, Wayne immediately checked the news on his mobile phone.

That's right, Wayne's "high-end touch-screen mobile phone" can read news online, but the webpage is rather crude.

Only after looking at it did I know that this matter really spread on a small scale.

Although it didn't spread widely, it was far from the sensation that he beat Wallace when he defeated Wallace.

But as long as people who pay attention to Wayne and the Pacers, they can definitely see this news by entering keywords.

Well, the top ten unsolved mysteries of the NBA, and one more-Who will win Wayne or Artest?

When Wayne went to the arena, he found that his teammates were also discussing the gossip.

As soon as Artest arrived in the locker room, all the people who were changing looked at him and smiled, and some shouted, "Ron, you have news on the Internet again!"

He didn't answer, opened the locker and took out a brand new No. 91 jersey.

They loudly yelled deliberately, "You must be on fire again, they all said you lost to Wayne, buy drinks for the rookie, hahahahaha!"

Artest blushed, with blue veins on his forehead, and argued, "A matter between teammates, can it be considered a loss?"

Everyone laughed, and the locker room and outside were filled with joyful air.

O'Neal also smiled. This kind of atmosphere was extremely rare last season.

It seems that Wayne can indeed have some kind of strange chemical reaction with Artest.

After training in the afternoon, as planned, the Pacers players will start taking makeup photos for the new season.

Although Artest likes to have a little personality in his hair, but this time he just shaved his head honestly and didn't do any fancy work.

The team with the weirdest hairstyle is "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson.

His dreadlocks looked like he had a lump of algae on his head.

Well, Wayne has the same hairstyle as in the draft.

Originally, he originally planned to shave his hair short after the draft, but it turned out that the hairstyle became more and more handsome and he kept it until now.

Well, no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

In addition to taking individual photos for the makeup photos, the team will also take some posters with multiple players group photos for the new season.

Wayne's No. 99 and Artest's No. 91 naturally have to be taken together for a separate photo. These two jerseys are very likely to become Indiana's hottest models.

In the end, Carlisle had a difficult time shooting the poster for the first five tigers.

Under normal circumstances, it's all done together with the starting five tigers planned for next season.

But this year, Anthony Johnson, the starting point guard proposed by the Pacers, seems to be too low to be honest, and the shooting is tasteless.

So, Carlisle simply called Wayne over.

In this way, Miller, Jackson, Ron Artest, Wayne and Jermaine O'Neill took pictures of this year's Pacers Five Tigers promotional posters.

Of course, these five people may not all be starters, but they can definitely be regarded as the most critical five-man team for the Pacers next season!

Carlisle believes fans will be satisfied.

A week later, on the largest billboard outside the Bankers Life Arena, Wayne and four other Tiger Five posters were posted.

The basketball atmosphere in Indianapolis soared.

Although the new season has not yet started, there are already many fans wandering the streets wearing the No. 99 jersey.

They are all looking forward to the MOP's performance in the NBA in the Final Four.

At this time, within the Pacers, as the players recovered their shape and condition, Carlisle also began to arrange training tactically.

As a coach who is good at defense, Carlisle naturally starts with defense first.

For Wayne, he needs Wayne to be a help defense role.

After all, Wayne's mobility and defensive range are quite good.

It's just lighter in weight, so the auxiliary defense must be stronger than the single defense inside.

During the training, Carlisle reminded everyone more than once: "Pay attention to the movements of your hands. Everyone must adapt to the changes in the HC rules next season."

Gangtai is uncomfortable. If you can't defend with your hands, why should you defend?What about those guys in Detroit?

Wayne is undoubtedly the fastest to adapt among all the people. After all, the new rules are not "new" to Wayne at all.

A few days later, a rehearsal of offensive tactics was also arranged.

At the beginning of the new season, Wayne's role on the offensive end is similar to that of Harrington last season-a sixth man who needs to swing between the third and fourth positions, playing about 30 minutes per game.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to seamlessly connect to maintain offensive firepower when Artest and Jermaine are off the court respectively.

Don't look at the role as the sixth man, but Harrington played the third most minutes on the team last season.

Therefore, Wayne also has a heavy responsibility.

Wayne nodded, isn't this the role of Lu Wei and Harrell of the Clippers in the future?

Before George and Kawhi went to the Clippers, the two buddies were on the surface as substitutes, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the real pillars of the team.

Of course, Wayne won't get 30 minutes of playing time as soon as he comes out.Carlisle will take it step by step, let Wayne adapt slowly, and slowly increase the time.

In addition, Carlisle also told Wayne: "Next season, you will appear more at the small forward position."

Moreover, Wayne also heard good news: "When the position is offensive, we need you to seek more opportunities from beyond the three-point line."

"Okay, leave it to me!" Wayne patted his chest.

Now, no one can stop him from shooting three-pointers like crazy!

A long man, in this era, the head coach allowed him to go outside the three-point line

This kind of thing is simply rare!

I'm sorry Du Xiaoshuai, from now on your template can only be me!

Time flies, and the tacit understanding of the team has gradually increased in the hard training every day.

Mid-October has arrived, and the NBA preseason is about to start.

Wayne's registered height is still 2 meters 06, and his position is power forward.

Carlisle also said that there is no need to modify the real height of 206

This year, in order to create a Chinese derby, in addition to arranging the NBA China Game for the first time, the league also arranged for the Mosaic and Pacers to meet in the preseason.

Stern's job was done in perfect time.

Money is not right, unless there is a problem with the brain.

Of course, the match with Mosaic is the finale.

In the first game of the preseason, the Pacers' opponent was the Washington Wizards.

Carlisle decided to start Wayne the day before the game, playing about 20 minutes.

If Wayne can adapt perfectly in these preseason games, then the new season will start directly in 30 minutes!

That night, Wayne deliberately studied the Wizards lineup during this period.

At the power forward position, the Wizards' starter will probably be Antawn Jamison, the Sixth Man of the Year last season.

The Mavericks did a similar operation to the Pacers this summer, taking the sixth man for a rookie-the fifth overall pick, Devin Harris.

As a result, Jamison settled in the Wizards and began to assist "Agent Zero" next season.

From this point of view, the top two players in last season's best sixth man list have been traded this season, which is simply poisonous.

"Yeah." Looking at Jamison's profile, Wayne touched his chin.

This guy seems to be much shorter than himself.
