Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 89 Victory over the Pacers

"Hey, Reggie, I think you should at least score a goal before you say that."

Hearing this, Reggie Miller, who was still chattering, froze suddenly, feeling that he was being ridiculed.

As one of the big trolls in the league's attention, it's not that no one is trolling him, but there are very few who can break his defense.

I don't know if he was irritated, but Reggie Miller started to move more crazily.

As expected of the best pitcher in the NBA, it was just a fleeting opportunity, but he really caught it.

Reggie Miller, who was running along the baseline, suddenly made an emergency stop, and then circled the center line to the free throw line.

Mark Jackson was already prepared, and the pass immediately followed.

Wang Hao quickly caught up again, but Reggie Miller had already made a shot, making it as steadily as a free throw.

"Hey rookie, are you really guarding me?"

Have to say, these old trash talkers are so annoying it's like having a fly in your ear.

Looking back at the attack, Wang Hao was not disturbed or contested, but executed the tactics very well.

Received the ball from Brent Barry, then passed the ball firmly to Gary Payton from beyond the three-point line.

I have to say that Gary Payton is not an honest person. Facing the aging Mark Jackson, it was a merciless blow.

Seeing his good brother being bullied like this, Reggie Miller certainly couldn't just sit back and double-team when he found the opportunity.

However, Gary Payton has long been prepared.

With a ground pass, the ball flew past Reggie Miller and landed steadily in the hands of Wang Hao, who had been prepared for a long time.

The Sonics have tried this tactic countless times, and Wang Hao is already very familiar with it.

"Shh!"

He felt very good, the shot from outside the three-point line, the ball fell steadily into the basket.

11:4
After scoring the goal, Wang Hao did not forget to say to Reggie Miller: "Reggie, it's already 5:2."

Reggie Miller couldn't understand why, Wang Hao was clearly talking about the score of the two players in this match.

This is being ridiculed, and it's okay.

When the Pacers were attacking, Reggie Miller directly interfered with Mark Jackson's tactical command.

In this regard, Mark Jackson naturally will not fail to cooperate, not only him, but his teammates are also actively cooperating.

Even Jaylen Rose gave up the ball very simply and made a screen for Reggie Miller.

It really allowed him to find an opportunity, but Wang Hao followed very closely, at least he didn't give up an open opportunity.

Reggie Miller didn't care. Although the opportunity was not good, he was able to make a move.

Under the interference of Wang Hao, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Gary Payton took the defensive rebound and immediately converted the offense, and the Sonics immediately accelerated.

A standard three-line fast break, with Gary Payton holding the ball in the center, Wang Hao and Brent Barry one on the left and one on the right.

The running of Wang Hao and Gary Payton really attracted the defense, which gave Brent Barry a chance to make a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

It's a pity that the shot missed slightly.

Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose are immediately in position to protect the rebound.

Just when Reggie Miller was about to pick off the rebound, an arm suddenly stretched out from behind.

It was Wang Hao who jumped up high, stretched out his hand and stabbed in the back, and the basketball flew towards the hoop again.

The basketball circled around the rim before falling steadily into the net.

It can only be said that old players are like this, too dependent on experience, too obsessed with saving energy.

When he was young, Reggie Miller would not wait for the basketball to fall into his hands except for the position.

Glancing at Reggie Miller, this time, Wang Hao didn't irritate him with any trash talk.

The main reason is that compared to these old hooligans, his vocabulary is far inferior, and he can't win even if he sprays.

What's more, he is a moral person who must respect the old and love the young.

Not only Wang Hao, the Pacers also felt a little helpless in the face of Gary Payton, who was attacking hard.

Not only that, even Horace Grant, who has rarely participated in the offense, also shined today.

Under the control of Gary Payton and Wang Hao, he got a lot of opportunities in the middle distance.

Not only are there many opportunities, but the hand feeling is also good, which further widens the score between the two sides.

At 10 minutes and 21 seconds into the first quarter, the difference between the two sides had widened to 27:13.

"A quiet Reggie is a good Reggie!"

Hearing this, even Reggie Miller, who was no longer a teenager, couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

I wanted to reply to Gary Payton, but I couldn't say a word.

What is trash talk?
Swearing is foul language, not trash talk, only people like Garnett can use it.

The essence of real trash talk is to present facts, reason, and evidence.

For example, Jordan, every time he scores against his opponent, he has to say something to his opponent.

"Put on harder, you almost guarded Michael Jordan."

If the goal is missed, will Jordan have the face to speak?
There is also Gary Payton, facing a defensive player, he will always ask the opponent after scoring a goal.

"Do you know why I can get a salary of 1000 million?"

If they don't score, or even one game is worse than the next, do they have the face to say such a thing?
Trash talk isn't just about cursing, it's about leaving your opponent speechless.

Only by showing strength in front of the opponent, and then adding a little bit of murder, can the opponent be hit.

The core of trash talk strikes, not irritates.

As for the higher realm, it is pretentiousness and Versailles. There are very few people who can reach this realm.

It is estimated that, except for the man on the opposite coach's bench, it is difficult for others to reach this level.

After the timeout, Larry Bird directly replaced the main force and sent a substitute lineup.

Naturally, the Sonics will not be polite, taking advantage of this time to continue to expand the score.

For the entire second quarter, Reggie Miller didn't play, which made Wang Hao feel a little pity.

When learning to play with Gary Payton, he also learned a million bits of trash talk.

After finally meeting an opponent, he was just about to continue trying, but he stopped playing immediately.

Not just Reggie Miller, but Rick Schmitz and Mark Jackson too.

The three old men in their 30s were not physically fit, and the away trip was even more exhausting.

Paul Westphal also saw Larry Bird's thoughts, and probably didn't report too many thoughts on this game.

The substitute lineup played a little too much time. If the substitute lineup can stand up and the point difference is not too big in the last quarter of the game, then fight hard, otherwise, give up.

The regular season can be waived, which is why the media does not pay much attention to the occupation of the regular season.

It's not that he doesn't care at all, but, after all, this is the beginning of the new season.

The Sonics want to make a name for themselves, and the road to go is not short.

In addition to continuing to maintain the record, you have to play against those strong teams and win.

Beating the Pacers is a small step for them.

Today, Wang Hao played equally well, with 21 points and 6 rebounds, but Wen Baker was a bit sluggish.

As for Gary Payton, as the core of the team, his performance has become more stable as the new season progresses.

33 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, almost a triple-double.
