October 11, the day the NBA preseason Pacers vs Wizards begin.

Early in the morning, Wayne was already busy and began to give all kinds of interviews.

After the Olympics, all of China is now in the midst of an NBA heatwave.

Because in addition to Yao Ming and Wayne, the Kings also offered Chinese guard Liu Wei a short contract and invited him to play in the preseason.

At the same time, three Chinese players will be on the pitch in the pre-season, which will undoubtedly make the fans enthusiastic.

Moreover, Liu Wei and Wayne will play against Yao Ming respectively, which makes Chinese fans want to stop.

In the midst of this craze, Wayne's popularity can be said to be high.

In addition to the interview, Wayne also received a text message from Chairman Yao in the morning: "Don't be nervous, play hard." ”

Well, it seems that he has now attracted the attention of Chairman Yao. That being the case, it is impossible for others in the country to ignore themselves.

Maybe you're going to have an international game next summer?

It wasn't until noon that Wayne finished the interview and met with the team at the Bankers' Living Arena.

It's pre-season, but today everything will go according to the regular season.

From acclimatization to warm-up, every step is strictly controlled.

In addition to China, Indianapolis, the basketball city, is also huge.

When he took Mancias's car to the arena today, Wayne could see a large crowd of people outside the arena.

It's only pre-season, and the arena is about to be full.

Under the guidance of the trainer, Wayne was seriously warming up before the game.

While the preseason wasn't a particularly important game, Wayne was well prepared.

In fact, many teams play preseason just to watch the fringe players and then let the main team find a feeling.

When playing preseason, a team can bring two dozen people. However, before the final season begins, the squad must be reduced to a maximum of 15 players.

This means that in the short period of time between the preseason and the start of the regular season, dozens or hundreds of people will be cut, disappear from the league, and find another way out.

This is the NBA, behind the superstars and the spotlight, it is these ordinary players whose names are unnamed, fighting in pools of blood, casting this pyramid of the basketball world.

Therefore, today, star-level players like Xiao Ao and Altai are very relaxed, and the elder Miller is even chatting and laughing with Carlisle on the bench.

As the main force, they are not the protagonists of the preseason.

But Wayne is just a rookie, so he has to play at a level even in preseason.

This is the fastest way he can impress his coach.

And finding good form in the preseason will also help you play consistently in the regular season.

Halfway through the warm-up, the other half also came.

The players of the Washington Wizards played.

Arenas has a relaxed face, the face of the Wizards team after Jordan, it is estimated that he will not play for too long today.

And last season's sixth man of the year, Jamison, had a somewhat serious expression.

As a new signing, he must have to run in with the team more, so he has to play 25 minutes more today.

And he also knows who his opponent will be - the famous semi-final MOP!

It's not that Jamison is worried that he won't be able to beat a rookie, and then again, what is it playing in this preseason? Is it a win or a loser?

No, it's human sophistication...... It's a run-in state, and there's no need to be too serious about winning or losing.

Since you don't have to be too serious about winning or losing...... Then MOP doesn't want to win!

This kind of bureau, let me accept it!

Rookie upgrade package is a role that whoever likes to be it, anyway, his best sixth man doesn't do it.

Therefore, when Jamison warmed up, he was also very serious so as not to pull his crotch.

Last night, he made a point to read the scouting report. The MOP is about 2.06 meters tall and weighs less than 100 kilograms.

And Jamison's current official height is also 2.06 meters, but the actual height is only about 2.03 meters.

Based on Jamison's experience, Wayne's height must have been reported lower.

But it doesn't matter, it's not the first time Jamison has played against a player who is taller than him.

When the time comes, just shoot him to death!

The game will begin immediately, and the leaders of both sides will soon be in their seats.

In the stands, the Print City fans were already agitated.

Wayne noticed that several Chinese fans held up the plates with their Chinese names and kept shaking.

This momentum is no worse than Chairman Yao's NBA debut.

Print City fans were much more creative, brandishing cards in Batman's mask to show their support for Wayne.

Because of Wayne's name, it's easy for American fans to associate with the famous comic book character Bruce. Wayne is the one who has the ability to make money.

And who is the most famous Chinese kung fu star in America? Bruce. Lee.

Combine this famous name with Wayne, and that's not Batman!

It's well documented that Wayne received the nickname in the league.

"Wei, come, let me tell you a few words."

The game was about to start, but Artay, who didn't start today, waved at Wayne.

Wayne was really speechless, it was okay for everyone to call his full name at school, but now everyone calls himself Wei when it comes to the Pacers, which always makes Wayne feel very uncomfortable.

Because how it sounds, it's like: "Hey, come here." ”

Walking to the sidelines, Atai muttered a few words in Wayne's ear: "When a soldier goes to battle, he must first make the other party afraid of you." If you don't be tough, everyone will bully you.

See Jamison? That thing must be using his unsmart head to figure out how to clean you up.

What you did to me when you were training that day, you did to him today. Dry! Let him break the idea of fighting bad ideas! ”

"Oh..... Oh......" Wayne was embarrassed when he heard this.

Is that the style of play of the best defensive player?

Come up and let yourself others.

I don't know, I thought you were a corner coach in a fighting match.

But Gangtai's words are not rough, the NBA is a place where the jungle eats the strong.

Just look at how many people in this league want to dunk on Chairman Yao's head.

In the distance, Jamison watched Artey talking to Wayne, and suddenly felt a little scared.

Nima, that guy doesn't teach rookies weird things, does he?

And...... How do you feel that Wayne is so much hotter than Artey!

How tall is this!?

After a hiccup, the competition officially began.

The starting point on the Pacers' side is center Scott. Pollard, power forward Wayne, small forward Michael. Curry, quarterback "Warrior" Jackson, point guard Anthony. Johnson, basically an experimental lineup.

On the other side, the Wizards backcourt double-shot Arenas and Larry. Hughes is sitting on the Diaoyu Tai, and Jamison can basically be said to be the strongest force on the Wizards' court.

The Wizards got the first shot, Juan. Dixon possessed the ball through the half.

"It's game on, and today is Wayne's first NBA appearance! Although it is not an official competition, it is still a challenge for Xiao Wei! ”

CCTV5, Mr. Sun Zhengping's voice can make the fans who watch the game early in the morning instantly dozed off.

Back in the '90s, preseason games were largely unattended on TV.

But as the millennium progressed, the preseason game also became part of the NBA's money-making efforts.

That's not right, today's preseason game was broadcast abroad.

Jamison was ready to slip Wayne outside the three-point line, and most of the No. 4 positions couldn't keep up with his pace.

But he soon found out...... This is not slow!

As long as Jamison doesn't encounter a big forward like Garnett, he is basically a slippery and accurate.

But today, he was forced by a rookie to move an inch.

And Jamison found ...... I'm afraid this junior's 2.06 meters is a bit too fake.

It is understandable that the height is two or three centimeters lower, but Jamison visually estimated that Wayne was more than 2.10 meters!

Who gave him the courage to repay 2.06m!?

As we all know, in the NBA, 2.06 meters and 2.06 meters are not the same.

Jamison couldn't run away at all, but as the strongest force on the Wizards' lineup, he still received the ball.

Then, with his arms outstretched, Wayne was like a wall in front of Jamison.

The moment Jamison got the ball, he felt like his mentality was about to collapse.

This defensive range ...... I'm afraid it's okay to play the number five position.

So, last season's Sixth Man of the Year took two steps back, and he was going to burst Wayne with his speed!

After a beautiful crotch change, Jamison accelerated past Wayne and took a half-length lead.

Halfway through, Jamison made a quick stop to shoot.

His move tends to make most No. 4s lose their defensive positions.

But Wayne wasn't that majority.

He almost made an emergency stop with Jamison, and then raised his long arms to cover Jamison's face.

As a player who also likes to make a pull-up jumper, Wayne has long had a hand in it.

Jamison made a "blind sniper" shot, and the basketball popped out of the frame.

It's not the first time Jamison has played against someone taller than him, but there aren't many people who can interfere as quickly as Wayne.

What's the point? It feels like Wayne is more of a No. 3 player than Jamison.

"Good shot, the opponent hit Wayne as soon as he came up, but Wayne didn't let him get his wish, and now change to the Pacers to attack."

The Pacers' lineup, the first shot choice is Wayne.

Carlisle wanted to try if Wayne could afford to be the sixth man.

Jamison clings to Wayne, who he thinks is the type of player who has no offensive means other than catching and shooting.

However, Wayne, who was originally ambushed in the bottom line, suddenly went into everything.

Wayne's first step was already fast, and coupled with the big pace, he threw off Jamison, who was not prepared, at once.

"Martial Saint" Jackson saw that Wayne threw off the counterpoint, and thought to himself, "Yo, the guy has two brushes, so let you show it to the end." ”

So I just threw the ball high.

Wayne saw that it was a high ball, jumped up, and took the ball down steadily in the air.

This time, Jamison didn't even have a chance to foul, and watched Wayne smash the ball directly into the frame.

"Relay in the air! As soon as he started, Wayne ended the offense with a very beautiful dunk! It can be seen that Wayne and his teammates have formed a tacit understanding. The previous training camp has achieved remarkable results. ”

Chinese fans shouted along with Sun Zhengping on TV, the brutalist striker, you have to fight like this!

On the Pacers bench, the players applauded Wayne's dunk performance.

After the goal, Wayne ran up and rubbed the pile of "algae" on Jackson's head and thanked him for his pass.

At first, there were concerns that the Chinese players and the Pacers, a group of "bandits", would not get along.

But looking at it now, Wayne doesn't fit in well with the circle.

Some people, on the surface, seem handsome and elegant, but as soon as they meet the same kind, they are exposed.

Then the Wizards' offense, sophomore forward Galvis. Hayes hit a half-volley.

The Wizards' offense doesn't have any routines, it's basically a one-on-one. If Arenas is there, he can still break through, but now letting Dixon play point guard is directly a move for everyone to pull away from the single.

Wayne jumped up for the first time to grab the rebound, but the moment Wayne jumped, Jamison tugged at Wayne's jersey with skill.

Although the changes to the HC rules have made the NBA more offensive this season.

But in this era, the whistle is still not as strict as it was more than a decade later.

This kind of basket pulling, if it doesn't cause any big impact, generally don't care.

Being dragged by Jamison, Wayne almost fell when he landed.

The NBA can be really sinister.

So after landing, Wayne raised his elbow when he turned around, which was a return gift to Jamison.

"Boom!"

Jamison only felt a hot pain in his ribs, this Nima, this rookie is so social?

Jamison suffered a dumb loss, originally wanted to dirty a wave of Wayne, but who knew that he was dirty by Wayne.

"Hahahaha, good ball!" Artest was very excited offstage, and only he knew best what it was like for Jamison at this time!

Carlisle glanced at Artai speechlessly, Nima, you are so loud that the referee can't see it, and you have to see it.

Wayne gave the ball to Anthony before Jamison could recover. Johnson, but instead of dragging behind slowly, he immediately followed up and participated in the counterattack.

By the time Jamison clutched his chest and ran back, Wayne had already crossed the halfway line.

The ball was equivalent to 4 out of 5, and Wayne cut straight through the middle, then received a pass from his teammates and took three steps straight to the basket.

A high school student who is already in the fourth grade. Brown slid to the basket to make up for it, but Wayne didn't slow down.

Anyway, there is a "body of steel", and we will rush with a basketball.

As a result, Kwame. Instead, Brown was overpowered by the menacing Wayne.

The main thing is that Jamison was elbowed like that just now, which made Brown a little scared......

And now Brown is still living in the shadow of the old rascals, and he is still not very confident in himself.

So, when there was a confrontation, the confrontation of Zhuang Yuanlang was not very fierce.

Wayne leaned on Brown and scored a layup, 4-0!

Wayne looked at Brown in surprise after scoring the goal, he just had a chance to defend this goal, right? Actually took the initiative to dodge?

Sure enough, Ataicheng didn't deceive me! The first thing you need to know when playing in the NBA is that you have to keep your elbows up!

This deterrent effect is a perfect score!

After that, Jamison learned Wayne to cut to the basket for a layup, but missed the rim again under Wayne's extremely high range.

In terms of height, Jamison was completely suppressed.

The height is suppressed, mainly because Jamison does not have much advantage in flexibility.

This time, after Wayne won the rebound again, Jamison directly dodged away.

"The ball is for you, don't suffer Lao Tzu!" Last season's Sixth Man of the Year shouted in his heart.

Seeing that Jamison was immediately three steps away from him, Wayne wanted to say, "That's it?" Was he the sixth man of the year last season? I'll do it too! ”

Speaking of which, I don't want to play sixth man this season.

Well, maybe you can really get it.

The dog is not too poor, and the prize is not too small!

The bout went on, and although it was only a few rounds, Jamison found ......

Wayne's kid looked at him as if he really thought he was an upgrade......
