Larry. Bird sat in the luxury box, watched the performance of the players below, and nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, the game between the Indiana Pacers and the Phoenix Suns has come to the final moments, and the Pacers lead by 7 points.

With only 5.3 seconds left for the Suns, the big picture is decided.

On the big screen at the scene, Jermaine appeared. Close-up of O'Neill's face.

Today, he was once again the best man of the match without any suspense.

32 points, 14 rebounds, 8 blocks!

O'Neal Jr.'s performance was the key to the Pacers' victory in the absence of Artest today.

In the latest edition of the MVP rankings, O'Neal Jr. is also ranked fifth.

People are now discussing who is the absolute hegemon of the new generation of No. 4 positions between him and Garnett!

However, it wasn't O'Neal Jr.'s performance that made Bird proudest today, but the shooting percentage of the Suns' players.

Stephen Marbury, who averaged 20.8 points per game, scored just 14 points in this game, shooting only 26.7% from the field.

The Suns' No. 2 offensive point, Sean. Marion wasn't much better, scoring just 15 points on 40 percent shooting.

The Pacers' defense makes Bird very proud.

It is precisely by relying on this unparalleled super defense that the Pacers will have an excellent record of 14 wins and 3 losses this season, the first in the East!

'The lads are getting better and better, and if Ron hadn't been out with an injury today, we might have been able to stretch the margin to double digits. Next to Bird, Pacers president Donnie Brown. Walsh pulled out a cigar and handed it to Big Bird.

"That's not true, otherwise how could Marion still score 15 points?" Bird took the cigar and put it in his mouth, quite in the style of his mentor "Red-Headed" Auerbach.

"The team that my brother built himself is so good." In the end, the "forced king" did not forget to blow himself a wave.

In 2003, it was Larry. Bird is in his first year in management with the Pacers.

However, Pacers fans are already looking forward to Bird.

Because in the late 90s, Bird saved the team in a similar way.

In the late '90s and early millennium, Larry. Bird briefly coached with the Pacers.

At the time, he promised that only three years in charge of the team would make a huge difference.

As we all know, the "Forcing King" has a buff bonus of pretending not to fail.

Thus, the journey of Bird's coaching career officially began.

In his first year in charge of the Pacers, Bird led the Pacers, who had only 39 wins in the previous season and did not make the playoffs, to a proud 58-win record, second behind the Bulls in the East, and Bird himself won the best coach award.

In the end, the Pacers fought Jordan-led Dynasty Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals for seven games before losing.

In the next two years, Bird led the team to win the second place in the East and the first place in the East once, and the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals once!

In the past three years, bringing a team outside the scope of the playoffs to the Eastern Conference finals twice and one to the finals, Bird once again fulfilled his boast back then.

Of course, he stepped down as head coach after three years, as promised.

Now, Bird is back again, but as the director of basketball affairs.

Although the location has changed, all Indianapolis fans trust Bird's ability.

They are convinced that Bird can give the Pacers a flying shot as he did a few years ago.

As a result, Bird did it fucking again!

This summer, Bird decisively fired former Pacers coach Isaiah as soon as he took office. Thomas, who hired his friend from his playing days, Rick. Carlisle served as the team's head coach and made drastic changes to the team's system and style of play.

This is why the current Pacers have a proud record.

So to hear Bird blow himself, Donnie. Walsh just smiled slightly.

Bird, this guy, really has the capital to boast about himself.

Bird came back this time to lead his hometown team to the championship.

And the current Pacers, as long as they are not hit by major injuries, are definitely a championship-level team!

This three-year plan, Bird is very confident that he will win an O'Brien Cup for the Pacers!

At the end of the game, looking at the cheering fans below, Bird raised his glass.

"This is for you."

With one gulp, Bird and Walsh walked out of the luxurious box, and it was another wonderful night.

As Bird and Walsh walked out of the luxury box door, Big Bird found Scout Sweet waiting outside with a file bag.

"Sweet? Why are you here? Bird was a little surprised, because the scout only had to put the report in his office, and he didn't have to wait for himself to submit the report himself.

"I have an up-to-date scouting report to hand over to you." Sweet said, handing the bag to Bird.

"Is there anything special?" Bird took the report and opened it directly in person.

"You know, I've been giving you that guy's report for a month in a row. He's not in our plans, but I think you should really see how he goes. ”

"Hmm...... You mean the guy who caught Harrison off his feet? ”

"That's him, he's now in the middle of the second round in the draft projections, and his team is now ranked eighth in the country!" Sweet's voice became excited, as a scout, the happiest thing is of course to dig up treasure.

Sweet has been going on for a month and each time has attached a copy of Wayne's scouting report to Bird.

From his point of view, Wayne's arrival can help the team further open up space and completely free up O'Neal Jr. and Artest.

Of course, he is just a scout, and there are more professional people to think about things at the tactical level.

All he has to do is bring the best quality players to Bird.

Even if it's a player who is out of the team's plan.

"Okay, I'll take a look at his report. Thank you, Sweet. Bird waved his hand and thanked Sweet for his enthusiasm.

Of course, he didn't have a second-round show in mind.

"By the way, Larry, there's one more thing!"

"Huh?" Bird, who had planned to leave, stopped again, and if it weren't for the fact that Sweet was a veteran of the team or an Indianapolis native, he would have been impatient.

"Tomorrow night, the Oklahoma Generals and the University of Texas meet, and this is definitely the biggest matchup in the Big Twelve League. If you have time, watch the kid play. Trust me, you'll be interested in him too. ”

"Tomorrow, okay, I'll take a look when I have time." Bird nodded on the surface, but he didn't really want to see it.

Anyway, let's get Sweet away first, the overheated warm-heartedness.

"Okay, Larry. Well, I'll leave it at that. ”

After Sweet walked away, Donnie. Walsh was curious and leaned over to Bird.

Although he is the president of the team, this year's basketball affairs of the Pacers are basically in charge of Bird, the director of basketball operations.

"What's going on? Isn't our goal this year Harrison? Walsh asked curiously.

"Oh, Sweet said, when he watched Harrison's game a month ago, he unexpectedly found a Chinese student, and his performance was very eye-catching. So, he always sent me that guy's scouting report. ”

"Chinese students? It's a rarity. How, are you interested? ”

In the face of Walsh's inquiry, Bird spread his hands: "I don't think we can get a second Yao, let's see, if that guy is really that good, he will naturally appear in our field of vision." ”

Bird retrieved the report back into the file bag.

Now, he just wants to enjoy today's wonderful victory.

※※※

Wayne called up his system interface and increased his traverse speed from 62 to 67, leaving little growth point left in the month he had saved.

Wayne wanted to cry without tears, and this game was too embarrassing.

On the surface, it seems to win the scenery, but due to the low intensity and difficulty of the game, there are not many growth points at all.

And the more he looked at his current attribute interface, the more depressed Wayne became.

Why haven't any of these physical fitness-related attributes, such as bounce and speed, been unlocked until now? How many times do you have to upgrade to see it?

Every time he saw Graham running and dunking, Wayne was envious.

I don't have to add a little bit now, and I don't know how many attributes there are in this area.

Wayne can only guess by his own feelings, his speed should be not bad in the No. 4 position, like the thin Yao Ming in the rookie period, more flexible.

But the bounce is a bit crotch-pulling, and the cap is all based on height.

Ma Dan, at a young age, played the feeling of Duncan standing with a cap in his twilight years......

Wayne shook his head, and at the moment, he could only frantically take data in the game to make up for the lack of points he had gained.

Speaking of which, at the end of training this afternoon, Wayne was given a new task.

Wayne tuned to the system interface and looked at it again.

"Mission: Key Campaign at the Beginning of the Season.

Objective: Win the match against the University of Texas.

Mission Reward: Earn double Growth Points for a single game. ”

Since it's only a short-term mission, the mission rewards are simple and not too rare.

But now...... Wayne, who just wants to level up quickly, doesn't want to let go of a little grasshopper meat, let alone double the grasshopper meat.

In tomorrow's game, you have to brush up well...... Phew, just help the team.

Three points, you must shoot more threes!

The defense of the University of Texas is not covered, and it is easy to make mistakes if you want to brush up on assists.

So the most efficient way to brush points tomorrow is to shoot three more points.

Of course, in his previous life, as a senior fan, Wayne also hated data brushes very much, and he himself would not allow himself to become data brushes.

If he doesn't feel good about his three-point shot tomorrow, Wayne won't keep shooting for points.

But if the three-point hand feels good......

"Hey, hey." Wayne touched his chin and couldn't help but laugh.

Tomorrow his counterpoint P.J. Tucker, Wayne is all too familiar.

Because in the future, Tucker still broke out of his own world in the alliance, which can be regarded as a typical late bloomer.

But the height of that cargo is less than two meters, and Wayne has a unique height advantage.

Coupled with the help of a straight-arm shooting pack, Tucker's interference with Wayne's shooting is almost negligible.

If it feels good, then don't you shoot through it directly!?

Wayne rubbed his hands excitedly, Brother Tucker, you and I met in college in advance, it is providential!

For a chance to double the growth points, you have to take a bite out of Tucker!
