By the end of the fourth quarter, the Pacers had taken a 22-point lead.

Artay, Miller and Xiao Ao didn't go up and touch two balls until garbage time, and this whole game, just watching Wayne and "Martial Saint" two new signings perform.

Although it was only a preseason game, the Pacers still showed what it should be like to be No. 1 in the East.

And, the two new signings have given the team a huge boost.

Jackson scored 22 points today, including 3-of-5 three-pointers.

Overall, Jackson is a great No. 2 option for the Pacers. The defense is tough, the three-point is reliable, because he has been influenced by the Spurs culture, and he is a character who does not fight or grab, and is willing to be a supporting role, which is just right for Gangtai and Xiaoao.

Of course, not fighting or grabbing is only internal. Externally, this cargo is definitely a headache.

Today, he exchanged trash talk with opposing players more than once, which made the Wizards very angry.

If the Pacers hadn't done well enough, they would probably have been ridiculed by fans as a prison team 2.0.

And Wayne's performance once again told all Print City fans: "You didn't wait in vain. ”

With 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, people were surprised to find that Wayne's stats were similar to those of the NCAA period!

It's an exaggeration of how seamless this is.

And in the game, Wayne can be said to have shown all his selling points.

Flexibility, range, height advantage, positive attitude and excellent co-defense.

All those good things about Wayne on the scouting report, you can see in this game.

Unlike the high school student who is always smiling, people found that his so-called precision and technical delicacy in the first warm-up game were simply nonsense.

As for how much else he has on him that is, it is unknown.

Compared to Howard, Wayne can be said to be "genuine, honest deals".

And against Jamison, Wayne's shortcomings of being underweight and under-attacking at the No. 4 position have been disguised.

He's the perfect upgrade package and gave Wayne a perfect preseason debut!

Today, Jamison had nothing to do with Wayne's shot, and could only watch Wayne go in.

Kwame under the basket. Brown is also habitually pulling his hips, and Wayne is simply free to come and go in the penalty area.

If this is to arrange for Wayne to stay with someone in the first game, Wayne's debut is estimated to be overturned.

But the schedule of this preseason can be regarded as Wayne's luck.

In the end, the Pacers won the game 101-84 at home.

Walkers can score more than 100 points, which is very rare indeed. Last season, the Pacers averaged just 91.4 points per game.

They compete against each other about who scores less. If I get 70 points, I dare you only get 60 points.

But today, the Pacers played a very nice offensive basketball.

At the end of the game, the fans in the stands were frantically chanting Wayne's name.

Atai was jealous when he saw it, this Nima, my position as the first brother of Yincheng is not guaranteed again?

Huh? Why use again?

Atai couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ao.

In fact, when Xiao Ao made a name for himself in Yincheng, Atai was still a small character who averaged 10 points per game.

He was never the first brother of Yincheng.

After the game, Jamison, who had 16 points and 5 rebounds, was stopped by reporters at the entrance of the players' tunnel.

Today, Jamison played okay on the offensive end, and after adjusting later, he also scored a few good goals on Wayne's head.

But the defense was really bad, and he was beaten by Wayne without temper.

Jamison wanted to pretend that he didn't see the reporter, but the blind reporter jumped directly in front of him.

"Antoine, can I delay you for a few minutes?"

"Well, you can ......"

Can you not? The microphone is all in the face!

"How did it feel to play in a Wizards' jersey for the first time?" The first problem is tepid.

"I feel like I've found some chemistry with everyone and I'm really looking forward to this season."

So, what would you say of MOP Wayne in the NCAA Final Four last season? He had an excellent performance of almost 20+10 today. ”

The second question, the journalists are on the offensive.

Jamison was instantly embarrassed, isn't this going to execute me publicly!

"Hmm...... He's been great and has a lot of potential. But it's just pre-season, hopefully he's ready for a tougher challenge, hehe. Jamison forced a smile and walked away from the reporter.

The meaning of this is "Brother Sai didn't give his all in the preseason, so he scored 20 points." When it comes to the regular season, it's impossible for my brother to lose to him! Absolute! ”

Well, this wave of forcible explanations made reporters laugh.

Really stubborn upgrade pack.

You look handsome when you talk and laugh now, but the way you just got elbowed is really embarrassing.

In the stadium, Wayne has naturally become a sweet spot in the eyes of reporters.

After all, his NBA debut was much more amazing than Yao Ming back then.

Chairman Yao's first few games in the NBA can be described in one word, and that is overwhelmed.

And Wayne's performance on the court is like a fish in water, not like a rookie at all.

Before Jamison could bully him, he gave the senior a greeting gift first.

I didn't see it and scared the Quamei next to me stupidly.

"Wayne, you played a great game today. It's basically said that you've suppressed your own alignment, and you don't have the feeling that the NBA is just that. ”

At this time, a Chinese reporter threw the soul torture that was thrown to Chairman Yao back then to Wayne.

"I can't say otherwise, but I did do a lot of preparation for the NBA. The sweat that was shed during the holiday was all for the ten or twenty minutes on the field.

I have to keep working hard and try to play better. ”

Wayne faced the camera and replied very crisply.

The answer to this kind of routine question, Aunt Jenny had already prepared for Wayne.

The reporter gave a look of approval, this child, not very old, speaks quite maturely.

There's no way, if the press officer I'm looking for is mature, I'll be mature.

"In the final game of the preseason, the Pacers are going to play against the Mosaics in Houston. How do you feel about meeting your fellow citizens in the NBA? ”

"I'm very excited and I hope to bring a good game to the Chinese fans."

At this time, "Martial Saint" Jackson happened to walk behind Wayne.

When he saw the Chinese reporter's lens, he couldn't help but give the camera a thumbs up.

"He's great, he's great."

Jackson took the initiative to interact with Chinese reporters, and the favorability of Chinese fans was +10.

Wayne also laughed, and to be honest, this team was not as "scary" as he thought before.

Of course, it is unknown whether it was caused by the elbow he gave to Atai on the first day of training......

In short, none of the Pacers' guys have made any excessive demands on Wayne so far.

The only time I went to buy a drink for old Miller was to buy a drink, and I was never called again.

It's even more impossible to carry a bag and shoes.

Well, Gang Tai and Xiao Ao don't call Wayne, and the others don't seem to be like that.

This is probably the so-called "elbow diplomacy".

When he walked back to the players' tunnel after the interview, Artai went up and high-fived Wayne very happily: "That elbow hit the level, not bad!" Didn't you notice that Jamison didn't dare to provoke you later? Keep it up! ”

Wayne is really convinced, I scored so many good goals on the field today, and you only remember that elbow?

Little O'Neill walked behind the two of them, smiling silently.

He and Artest have been teammates since 2001.

In all these years, Artai has not been so close to any of his teammates.

That's right, don't look at Atai's big grin, but he is actually very withdrawn in the locker room, and he has never really befriended anyone.

Perhaps because he grew up in Queensbridge, he seems to be naturally hostile to anyone.

And what about Wayne? Before the start of the season, he and Artey were photographed watching the US Open together.

Now it's close.

Maybe it's because ...... Wayne is always able to put up with Atay's weird topics?

Like watching tennis with your eyes closed......

Little O'Neill felt that his personality was still a little too serious and serious, and he really couldn't get along with Atai.

In fact, he didn't want to get together with Atai, and he didn't expect Atai to suddenly become a "good person" because of this.

He just hoped that guy wouldn't blow up the locker room.

At least not this season!

I hope Wayne can make Atai's mood so happy all the time.

In the days that followed, the Pacers won back-to-back preseason games and played with the momentum that they should have had last season when they were No. 1 in the East.

Finally, at the end of October, the Houston Red Team, who had returned to the United States after playing the China game, met the Pacers.

This time, the battlefield between the two sides is in the center of Toyota. Hundreds of millions of Chinese fans are glued to their televisions to watch the long-awaited matchup.

In 2004, Yao Ming's market dividends for NAB began to appear. Not to mention the first China game, according to statistics, 51% of the visits to the NBA's official website came from outside the United States.

So this game can be regarded as a high-profile derby battle between Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian a few years in advance.

Bird called the Wo Cao, a team from the cornfield who had never been so high-profile.

Who will dare to say that we are hillbillies in the future?

NBA King. Kelly also gave face, allowing Wayne to continue to start today and played 35 minutes in one go.

On the contrary, on the side of the Houston Red Team, Fan Bald only let Yao Ming play for 20 minutes before he was protected.

It's not that I don't want Yao Ming to play, it's that I'm really afraid of those people on the Pacers......

What the Eastern Conference Finals were like last season is obvious to all. Those elbows, those flying legs, who can withstand them?

Playing with such a team, Van Gundy really didn't dare to let Yao Ming play for too long.

The scoring champion who just joined the red team, Tracy Xiao, scored 18 points under the care of "Martial Saint", but the shooting rate was only 33%.

Since this was the last warm-up game before the season officially began, the Pacers played very seriously.

Jackson didn't let out any water on Maddie.

Chairman Yao played 20 minutes and efficiently scored 15 points and 7 rebounds, which can basically be said to have penetrated the Pacers' interior.

This is mainly because of the fact that NBA Kim. Kelly came up with the inside combination of Ao Jr. + Wayne today.

Now it is getting more and more difficult for Xiao Ao to guard against Chairman Yao, who is in full form, and Wayne.....

Wayne and Yao Ming faced each other three times today, and Yao Ming could jump Wayne away with a pout.

That's the horror of traditional behemoths.

His strength is simply not enough to compete with Chairman Yao after gaining weight.

But in the same way, Yao Ming was also beaten by Wayne and Xiao Ao.

Xiao Ao has a mid-range shot, and Wayne's range can be extended beyond the three-point line. Yao Ming couldn't prevent it, and he was thrown out of temper.

As long as the red team has a reliable big front gang to help Yao Ming, Yao Ming will not be so embarrassed.

Well, if there's a Wayne who is so rampant with the Occult?

It's a pity that Wayne is on the side of the thief.

In the end, Wayne scored 17 points and 5 rebounds, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, which is not a big forward at all.

O'Neal had 26 points and 11 rebounds, showing his true colors as the third in the MVP rankings.

Wayne and Xiao Ao can be regarded as having a good blow up with Chairman Yao.

94-86, Wayne finally won the much-anticipated Chinese derby.

After the game, although Yao Ming lost, he was very happy and took the initiative to walk up and shake hands with Wayne.

"Playing well, Awe, much better than I was back then."

A memetic smile appeared on his face.

"Where is it, you are my goal and idol, I am still far away." Wayne looked up at Yao Ming and said that he hadn't experienced the feeling of looking up at people for a long time......

Moreover, accustomed to retiring in the future, the moon and a half female trillion sun and moon, seeing Yao Ming when he was an athlete today, Wayne is still in a trance.

To be honest, Wayne has met a lot of NBA stars so far. But the only thing that can make him feel this kind of awe is Chairman Yao.

"Fight hard, you can contact me if you encounter any difficulties in the United States."

"Uh-huh, I know, Brother Yao."

"Okay, let's go celebrate the victory with my teammates. In the regular season, you won't be able to win easily. ”

Yao Ming left grinning, and on the other side, Maddie was being interviewed by a Chinese reporter.

Chinese fans are full of expectations for this pair.

Pity......

And so ends the Pacers' preseason season.

During the preseason, Wayne averaged 20.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 blocks in 30 minutes per game.

For a first-year player, that's pretty good.

On top of that, both Bird and Carlisle saw the possibility of putting Wayne in the No. 3 position.

In the preseason, Wayne's switch between the third and fourth positions was quite smooth.

Bird was relieved, and his trade proved to be a success.

Wayne and Jackson both played out their expectations, and Bird is going to move on to the next step of tinkering with the roster.

Unlike Walsh, who likes to chase big names, Bird is well aware that a team doesn't win more with more big names.

The key to reinforcement is not fame, but finding the right players.

Walsh's reinforcements are still looking at the second layer of fame, forcing someone to say that I am already on the sixth layer.

This time, he has his sights set on a veteran.

And if he also comes......

Walkers are afraid that they will really force themselves out of the sky.
