134: Extravagant Substitute (4.6K Ticket Request)

Wayne's appearance as an All-Star starting forward in the East is undoubtedly the biggest news in NBA circles lately.

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

But when it did, it was more sensational than Wayne expected.

So much so that in the home game against the Mavericks on February 4, when the No. 5 show of the '04 class was Devin. When Harris took the initiative to greet Wayne before the game, Wayne was still a little unresponsive.

"Congratulations, Way, you're the first player in the '04 All-Star Game and you're off to a great start." Harris's enthusiasm is as excited as a rookie seeing an idol.

In a sense, Wayne is Harris's idol now.

Who wouldn't want to be an All-Star at a young age? Who doesn't want to hit the league with a bang?

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

Clearly, Harris falls into the category of admiration.

Okafor: Jealousy? I'm jealous of him? Eight possibilities, absolutely eight possibilities! I'm averaging two pairs of body protectors per game, and I'm the rookie of the best!

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

I see you're amazingly bonely, you're fast, you're a star wizard. Now, there is a book of the gods...... There's an opportunity to be famous in advance, but I don't know if you're willing to take it. ”

Wayne narrowed his eyes, in terms of this pie painting technique, Wayne is not aimed at anyone, he is really much better than other rookies in the same class!

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

"Really? What chances? Young Harris's eyes lit up, and he looked like he was going to cheer on Viagra.

As the No. 5 pick last year, Harris's stats this season are not very good, averaging only 5.7 points and 2.2 assists per game.

Although the lack of playing time is one thing, Harris's performance on the court is really not good.

The shooting percentage is low, and the assist-to-turnover ratio is ridiculously low, which is not something that can be fooled by throwing the pot and giving playing time.

In contrast, Jamison, who the Mavericks originally used as a bargaining chip to come to Harris, naturally has much better stats.

If Harris were a high school student, that would be reasonable. After all, high school rookies need time to adapt to professional competition.

But...... Harris, he's a junior!

The high-pick player in his junior year enters the NBA and plays so badly that he will inevitably be criticized by fans.

Just like Okafor, you don't care what his record is, but he averages two doubles per game steadily, which is the perfect senior player in people's minds.

Therefore, Harris is called a parallel trade in three days, and he will be held by the Dallas media.

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

So, Harris was desperate for a chance, a chance to redeem, a chance to prove himself.

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

"Well, that's right, I'm ......"

Wayne was quick to tell Harris about his plan to defeat the '03 Super Platinums.

After hearing this, Harris was a little shocked.

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

Beat them?

Wayne looked at Harris's expression so surprised that he thought to himself.

This kid must think I'm trying to eat a fart.

As a result, Harris looked at Wayne's expression as if he admired it a little more: "It's you, and only you have the courage to do this kind of thing!" Don't worry, Wei, as long as there is a place where I am needed, I will work hard.

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

"Uh...... Then it was decided on German. Half a month later, the rookie game, you have to work hard. ”

With that, Wayne shook hands with Harris, who bounced back to the bench.

This guy is as if he has become a warrior with a heavy responsibility......

As far as Wayne knows, Harris likes to play games very much, and grew up playing PS since he was a child, and he was the No. 1 game boy in the NBA before Hayward.

Boys who like to play games since childhood will have some secondary two fantasies when they are young.

Well, Wayne seems to have one more fierce general under his command.

Although Harris is still very average in all aspects right now, fast is really fast.

You might be able to take advantage of this and get something done.

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

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

The Dallas Mavericks, currently 30-14, are undoubtedly a tough opponent.

The last time the two sides met, Dirk and Xiao Ao came to explode each other in various postures, sweating profusely.

As a result, because of the halfway kill, a Jordan successor Mike. Finley tilted the scales of victory, allowing the Pacers to lose in the end.

Today, Carlisle asked Tinley to defend Finley in order to prevent him from playing at a super-level level again.

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

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

"Yesher!" Wayne nodded vigorously, rubbing his hands together.

This has become an All-Star starter, so I have to put on some decent performance.

After the game began, the on-site commentators also joked: "How luxurious is the Pacers' lineup?" They actually used All-Star starting forwards to play off the bench! ”

Ridicule is ridicule, Wayne would rather play as a substitute today.

The starter went up against Dirk, which is not the same as giving away the head.

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

On the court, Dirk and Xiao Ao are still passionately exploding each other in various positions.

However, unlike last time, the hit rate of the two of them today is not very high, and no one can beat anyone.

Finley wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a move again, but he asked him, "You don't think the core of the Pacers is really the guy who can't score, do you?"

You've got a big deal today, Mike. The captain of the Pacers, will destroy you personally! ”

Then, with all his might, he tried his best to prevent Finley from autism.

In this way, eight minutes after the first quarter of the game, the scores of the two sides were still very anxious.

At this time, Don. Nelson replaced Starker House and replaced Dirk to give the German tank a little more fuel.

The Mavericks' scoring responsibilities fell to Starkerhouse for the time being.

Carlisle saw that Stackhouse was finally playing, so he waved his hand and replaced it with the "Payne" combination.

Payton and Wayne's pick-and-roll coordination is definitely a bug in the rotation time.

On the Mavericks' side, the substitute for Dirk was the 33-year-old veteran Alan Brown. Henderson.

Henderson was also able to contribute 13+7 at his peak, with excellent athleticism and a good hand at the basket.

But after experiencing a major injury in the 01-02 season, he was basically in a state of not being able to cheer up.

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

Of course, Wayne knew that his real opponent was not Henderson, but Starkerhouse, who was also ready to go on a killing spree.

So as soon as he came on the field, "Payne" was not idle.

"Hey, boy, I'll defend you myself today. With your hit rate, I shouldn't be under much pressure. Peyton's mouth couldn't sit idle for a second.

Starhouse ignored it, after all, he has also been beaten by society over the years, and he is no longer the Jordan junior who thinks highly of himself.

"Gary, who are you talking to?" At this point, Wayne joined the fray.

"Oh, nobody, one who plays as a substitute."

"!" Stackhouse clenched his fists and cursed inwardly.

This season, because of groin and knee problems, Stackhouse has not been allowed to accept the role of sixth man.

But from the bottom of his heart, Stackhouse still wants to be able to start.

He really started to accept the role of the sixth man, and he had to wait for "Little General" Avery. Johnson will only accept it when he comes.

Now, Stackhouse is somewhat resistant to the role of a substitute.

But there is no way, now it is not as good as it was back then, he can only accept it.

But Peyton's special pot did not open which pot, which made Stackhouse's mood warm up a little.

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

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

Because he was afraid of Wayne's three points, Alan . Instead of following Payton, Henderson ran out to defend Wayne.

Seeing this, Wayne suddenly cut to the inside again. Henderson simply didn't have time to react.

You are in and out, in and out, who can stand it.

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

So, Payton gently threw the ball diagonally behind him, and Wayne followed up with an empty dunk.

The classic "Payne" combination made the fans of the Bankers Life Arena cheer.

Harris looked at Wayne after the dunk landed, and almost couldn't hold back his desire to applaud......

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

Today, Dirk and Ao didn't have a high hit rate, and Finley was pinned down by Taeko again.

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

Wayne played as soon as he came up, and the All-Star starter played off the bench, which was so luxurious.

Not to be outdone, Starkerhouse quickly wanted to get back on the offensive end.

But this time, Payton really sealed his shots.

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

The physical Payton relied on his experience to catch Stackhouse.

In the end, he made a mid-range pullup jump shot, but was heavily disrupted by Payton.

Originally, Stackhouse has never been known for his efficiency, and now with Payton's key marking, it is even more ironclad.

Wayne grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Payton.

This time, it was still Wayne's outside bullet after the pick-and-roll.

Alan. Henderson was afraid of Wayne's breakthrough, so when Wayne made a triple threat with the ball, he unconsciously took a step back.

Is this still worth it?

Wayne seized the opportunity to pull out his hand directly, confused Henderson's face, and scored 5 points in a row!

Think you can really put Viagra?

"Beautiful outside pace, I think the next All-Star LeBron should run at the forward position, and Wei Cai should run at the guard position."

The on-site commentators all shook their heads, and the old Henderson should be unlucky today.

Alan. Henderson is really uncomfortable, Nima, who would have thought that as a substitute blue-collar worker, he would have to go to the All-Star starters!

Isn't this a joke!

Rick. Carlisle, you're not human!

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

Then the Mavericks attacked, and after Harris received the baseline ball, he directly turned on the sprint mode, and he couldn't see anyone as soon as he slipped away.

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

Many people saw that the score had changed, only to realize that someone had just rushed over......

"This ......" Wayne rubbed his eyes, Harris was moving at a speed like a quick release.

It felt like it was only a few seconds, and he rushed across the court to complete the layup.

Of course, after the layup, Harris also rushed to the third row of the audience to cushion down.

This calf kick is really strong.

Well, Harris's speed is indeed exaggerated. At this point, Wayne had a bold idea in his mind that he might be able to use Harris to get a head start on the rookie game!

After that, Wayne hit two more shots from mid-range and scored nine points in a single quarter, showing his All-Star style.

Stackhouse, on the other hand, shot 1-of-4 from Payton's defense.

At this point, the Pacers managed to pull away a few points.

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

At the start of the second quarter, Wayne continued to play. It's just that on the defensive end, he was sent to defend Dampier.

Dirk still has to explode passionately with Xiao Ao.

Defending Dampier, who is known as the second center in the West, Wayne is ...... Don't panic at all!

Because Dampier is a defensive center, his offensive ability is not very good. He's good at one-on-one defense and rebounding, and he's ...... The Mavericks signed him, and it was only as a spare tire for the unsuccessful introduction of Ao Fat.

Therefore, it is not really necessary to give Dampier too much power.

So, on the defensive end, Wayne can basically be said to be without pressure.

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

In the first round of the offensive end against Dampier, Wayne walked outside the three-point line with the ball.

At this point, 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 beyond the three-point line instead of in the familiar three-second zone? ”

The second center in the west said that he was very good, what kind of hero are you going to pull me out, there is a kind of hand-to-hand combat inside!

Wayne looked at Dampier with a grin and began to dribble slowly.

Because of his knee injury, Dampier is not as fast as before.

It's okay to defend in the low post, but if you really want to pull it to the outside, Dampier doesn't even have the biggest weapon of defense.

Wayne changed direction and stabbed to the left of Dampier, and the second center in the West scrambled to follow, and seeing that Wayne was about to burst past Dampier, he suddenly took a behind-the-back change.

This second change of direction in a row directly circled Dampier in a circle.

What the hell is playing this kind of person in the number five position? Carlisle, you can be a man, you.

Carlisle was scolded by X2.

Dampier knew he had to quickly adjust his focus to stop Wayne, but his body couldn't react.

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

Accelerate, slash into the box, and slash with one hand.

Dampier is strong defensively? I don't think so!

"Ho, this is an unconventional five-position matchup! Wayne shook off Dampier with two beautiful changes in succession, and Dampier didn't react. ”

"Pretty Wei, that's what I told you, crossing him is like crossing the road in the morning." Peyton rushed up and high-fived Wayne.

Of course, the high-fives are just a cover, and the main thing is to come up and say a few words to Wayne.

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

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

Although the two of them didn't deliberately speak to Dampier, the volume was so loud that it would be far-fetched for you to say that it wasn't intentional.

Dampier almost didn't crush his teeth, two blue pools!

But it's useless to be angry, Dampier can't guard against players like Wayne, it's a fact.

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

Because at this time on the inner line, the German tanks could not get anyone's help, and could only defend themselves against Xiao Ao.

Xiao Ao lived up to Wayne, and won several consecutive singles Dirk in the low post.

Slowly, the Pacers took the initiative.

Wayne, an All-Star starter, showed his worth.

When the Pacers extended the margin to 11 points, Don. Nelson couldn't sit still any longer.

Mainly...... I really can't stand it, Dampier was dragged out for military training like a fool.

So he called a timeout and made some alignment adjustments.

"Dirk, you're going to meet that fancy ball-handling kid."

Dirk glanced up at the young All-Star who had been in the limelight recently.

Well...... Actually told me to defend?
