After the new players introduced themselves, the first training day of the Pacers' preseason training camp officially began.

The first week of the training camp is basically about doing some recovery training to help the players who have been away from the game for a long time to recover their condition and shape.

But not everyone is like Wayne, who was torturing himself until yesterday.

Most people, after a summer vacation, have lost a lot of shape.

"Martial Saint" Stephen. Jackson gained a lot of weight, and Artey's muscles weren't as toned as they used to be.

Of course, this group of Pacers is good.

On the South Coast, I don't know what fat surprise Shaq will bring to Miamians.

After a few simple round-and-go runs, Wayne immediately received the approving glances of his teammates.

Because he's the fastest of all the big men on the Pacers.

In everyone's inherent impression, Asian players should be a slow and leisurely technical flow, referring to Yao Ming.

Wayne's speed was greatly beyond people's expectations.

In fact, the thin version of Chairman Yao is not slow, but his physical fitness is a little worse, and he can't run up after playing for a long time.

And in order to save energy, he also jogged most of the time.

Although Wayne's speed is not as fast as Xiao Ao before weight gain, it is already very good.

After that, everyone basically used equipment to recover their bodies, but Wayne went directly to the ball practice.

As a result, in the Pacers' training hall, the melodious sound of the Nets tumbling never stopped.

"Look, I said it, he didn't have a problem shooting at the No. 3 position." Mike. Brown stood beside Carlisle, smug as if Wayne had been trained by him.

In fact, he only took Wayne to a few Summer League games. Moreover, the offensive tactic is one: "Give the damn ball to Wei!" ”

"Well, there's no doubt about his shooting ability. In pre-season, we can take a good look at his quality. Carlisle nodded.

"Don't wait for the pre-season, I'll help you test his quality later."

"Mm-hmm, that's okay...... Wait, Ron, when did you come here!? Carlisle turned his head to find Artest standing calmly beside him, joining the conversation without a trace.

It's as if he's also a member of the coaching staff.

"My body, you know, will come back in minutes. If you really want to recover your state, you have to rely on actual combat! Atai rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Don't make a fuss, I have arrangements for actual combat training, you just need to implement the plan well. By the way, if you're late tomorrow, you'll go to the 500 turnaround run by yourself. ”

Rejected by Carlisle, Atay shrugged and left disappointed, training back on track.

Of course, he didn't give up on testing Wayne.

Until noon, when the first round of training was over, everyone was in good shape.

Wayne is also tired enough, and the intensity of training at the NBA level is indeed different from that of the NCAA.

Take the training against the mid-range layup, the trainer is really good.

Although he was holding a soft cushion, he was very hard.

In this era, not only the players, but also the trainers are so rigid.

After the training, everyone sat in the training hall to rest for a while, waiting for lunch to start.

The players sat in groups of threes and fives, some discussing interesting things about the holidays, some discussing where to go tonight.

O'Neal Jr. walked up to Wayne and asked how Wayne was doing.

At the beginning, when he saw Xiao Ao walking towards him, Wayne was ready to buy drinks for everyone, but Xiao Ao actually came to care about himself.

In order to be a good leader, Xiao Ao, who is not very talkative, is also quite hard.

and Xiao Ao just chatted a few words, and the "epoch-making superstar" Atai also approached the two.

"Yo, Wayne, buy us some drinks." Atai spoke loudly, deliberately attracting the attention of others.

Everyone saw that Atai was ready to play tricks on the rookie, so they all sat and waited with a smile to watch the excitement.

It's normal for rookie players to be teased when they join the team, and it's basically a repertoire every season.

There is no one in this room who has not been teased in his rookie season.

But at this time, little O'Neill's originally gentle face became vicious.

He grabbed Wayne's shoulders and wouldn't let him get up.

"Why didn't you even see me talking to him?"

This was the first thing O'Neal Jr. and Artay said after the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

In the first sentence, he greeted Atai's family cordially.

He deserves to be a good teammate.

The contradiction between Artai and Xiao Ao reached its peak last season.

First, the two have discordant personalities, both are thorny, they are not convinced by each other, and they both feel that they are the boss.

Second, Atai always likes to force Lai Lai when Xiao Ao misses.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Atai's many brainless behaviors made Xiao Ao extremely unhappy.

For example, in the last game of the Eastern Conference Finals last season, although the Pacers missed consecutive games at critical moments, they actually had a chance to live.

But in the end, Artest sent the opponent to the free throw line with a completely unnecessary foul as if he was missing a string in his brain, directly burying the possibility of a reversal.

Things like that, Atai doesn't know how many times a season he has to do it.

In the eyes of Xiao Ao, who is bent on carrying the team forward, this is a selfish act. All the hard work was wasted because of the idiot's brain fever.

This is also the main reason why Xiao Ao has not spoken to Atai.

He felt that Atay had failed the whole team.

"It's okay, then I'll buy it for you." Artest did not directly exchange scolding with little O'Neal, but responded with a grin.

Although Xiao Ao and Atai are full of contradictions, they have never completely exploded. On the pitch, as always, they will cooperate with each other.

That's because both men are deliberately trying to avoid escalating the situation.

Just like this time, Atai will accept it when he sees it. As soon as he smiled, Xiao Ao's anger value couldn't rise.

"Okay, then you go quickly, Wei and I still have something to talk about."

"Hehe, you can go, if this kid has to beat me in a 1v1. You may not know Jermaine, but he and I agreed a long time ago to check each other out before the season started.

Hehe, my relationship with Wei may be better than you think, Jermaine! ”

"This ......" how does Wayne feel that Xiao Ao and Ah Tai are fighting for the wind and being jealous......

As soon as they heard that they were going to go head-to-head, everyone was happy, and they moved up a small bench to prepare for the front row to watch.

It's actually a very common thing for NBA teams to play bullfighting in training.

Before Xiao Ao could react, everyone else was betting.

"It's got to be Ron's win, think, he was the best defensive player last season!"

"Not necessarily, after all, this is a big dislocation, I bet on Wei to win."

Everyone was talking, and at this time, Wayne also took the initiative to stand up.

"Okay, how about playing 21 points, 3 points as 2 points, 2 points as 1 point, and shooting iron and directly exchanging the ball?"

It doesn't matter if you buy a drink or not, the key is ...... Scoring in front of the best defensive player, the growth value must be very high!

You can brush so much with Tony, and you can't brush it up with Gangtai heads-up!

"Hahahaha, I like this kid." Miller took the lead in applauding, the temperament of this No. 99 is really in line with the Pacers!

"Wei." O'Neill Jr. seemed very worried.

"It's okay Jermaine, I did talk to Ron a long time ago. And, just have fun. ”

"Good boy, I didn't misread you." Atai, who wants to have fun, got his wish.

The two stood on the basketball court, teammates circled, and Atai threw the ball to Wayne: "You attack first." ”

Wayne took the ball and threw it, not politely to Artey.

Atai just raised his arms, didn't pounce forward or jump. As a result, the basketball hollowed into the net, and Wayne scored 2 points first.

"It's a goal, Wayne's three-point is really accurate, otherwise you will compare three points with him later, Reggie." On the sidelines, people let out voices of admiration.

As soon as the goal went in, Wayne smiled.

This Nima, scoring a three-point on Atai's head can actually +2000 growth points!

That's twice as much as last year when he went head-to-head with Rashid.

Worthy of the best defensive player!

It is worthy of being the second tool man!

Tony, don't blame me for liking the new and hating the old, it's mainly because the growth point given by Gangtai is really fragrant!

"Tut-tut, yes. You can almost tie me with three points. Atai laughed as he helped Wayne pick up the ball.

After hearing Atay's words, little O'Neal on the sidelines covered his forehead.

Jinnima doesn't want Bilian!

Last season, you shot over 30 percent from three-point range, compared to others?

Wayne's goal meant he continued to have the ball.

But the second time, when he was ready to attack, Gangtai didn't let go.

He clung to Wayne and brought out the true strength of the best defensive player.

Well, to be exact, it should only be seventy or eighty percent of his strength, after all, Atai's physical condition has not fully recovered yet.

But even so, Wayne was hard to defend.

Under the pressure of Artey, Wayne couldn't shoot directly, so he made a fake shot and prepared to break through.

As a result, as soon as the first step was taken, the ball went out of control.

Atai reached out with his left hand and made the steal with precision!

One thing to say, Atai's hard power at this time is really strong. The DPOY of the outside players is enough to show its weight.

Bryant used to say of Atay: "His hands are like sticky rat boards, he only needs one finger to touch the basketball to take the ball away, you don't even know how it happened." ”

Now, Wayne knows all the same.

"Hehe, it's my turn now." As soon as Atai got out of the three-point line after the steal, he began to break through in a rugby style.

Wayne moved sideways to block it, but was bounced away.

Atay's impact is something Wayne has never experienced!

Of course, Atay was also bounced out of the way, and Wayne was tougher than he expected.

But he didn't stop and continued to pound the basket.

"It's over, Ron might be able to play a wave of 21-0 and walk the game straight away." On the sidelines, Pacers point guard Anthony Brown. Johnson was in a good mood.

Who let him buy Atai to win?

Atai hit the basket straight and jumped up to dunk.

But Wayne chased back to the penalty area at an incredible speed, taking advantage of his height and arm length, and pressed the ball in Atay's hand on the rebound!

"Bang!" The rebounding glass made a muffled sound, and the players in the entire training hall got goosebumps.

Atai's dunk was actually blocked!

"Good...... So fast, did you see that? The speed at which he rushed back into the penalty area. ”

"I'm rubbing, it's too high, his arm is really enviable."

"This can be saved, I'll go, Ron has a hard stubble today."

The players were talking, Reggie. Miller's eyes widened even more.

This goal reminded him of the second game of the Eastern Conference finals last season, when he was defeated by Tyshawn. The shot that Prince chased.

This Nima is terrifying!

Atai was also surprised, he really didn't expect that his dunk would be destroyed by Wayne like a fly.

This rookie is indeed a bit interesting!

With him, there may be a real drama this year.

"Not bad, not bad, worthy of praise. I'll let you do it this time, after all, it's too early for the game to end. ”

Although Atai is full of praise for Wayne in his heart, he will never express it on the surface.

It's still an expression of "I can abuse you if I play casually".

Face?

What's that? Does it work for Atay?

Wayne regained possession, but his next attack was also blocked by Artay.

It's really hard to beat the best defensive player in a 1-on-1 game, and although you score more points than you can score a goal, you can't score a few goals in a game.

It seems that at this stage, it is the fastest to only brush points by playing games.

Wayne made a layup, but the basketball bounced out of the frame with Gondt's interference.

The ball was exchanged, and Artey started to hit Wayne with his back directly from outside the three-point line this time.

After a few steps, Atai suddenly turned his back and broke through. In the process of turning back, he also gave Wayne a dark elbow and successfully broke through to score a layup.

1 to 2, Atay finally opened.

", play yin?" Wayne rubbed his ribs, but Atay didn't see anything wrong.

Because that's how basketball is played in his cognition.

Ever since he was a child, his father never treated him as a child when he took him to play basketball on the street court in Queensbridge.

Tough confrontations and elbow strikes were arranged for Atai, and little Atai often made his nose blue and his face swollen.

And the best way for Atai to respond is to be tougher than his father.

This teaching method can be said to be quite hardcore.

The father and son elbowed and elbowed, and in a blink of an eye, Atai grew up. It wasn't until he was 15 years old that his father found that he couldn't elbow Atay.

So, Atai went to high school and college to elbow others.

It can be said that the tiger father has no dog.

In addition to personality reasons, Atai's current playing habits can be regarded as being cultivated by his father since he was a child.

This style of play has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of Atai.

Seeing Wayne clutching his chest, Artai smugly prepared to continue the attack.

But Wayne wasn't scared, he was going to retaliate!

Dealing with people like Atai, the softer you are, the more he will bully you. If you are tougher, you can still earn respect.

Anyway, it's not to hurt someone, just to make him hurt.

Just do it!

So, this time, when Atay broke through, Wayne rushed up to stop it roughly, and intentionally or unintentionally raised his big elbow.

"Hehe, let you experience it too...... Wait, I'm not equipped with a Carl. Marlon's iron elbow?

Gangtai, don't bump into it, Gangtai ......"

"Bang!" This violent sound made the entire training hall silent.

It was too late, and Artey's chest hit Wayne's elbow straight up.

At that moment, the ball fell, and Atai's expression changed from smug to confused, and he froze in place.

"Huh? What's going on? Everyone looked at the two people who suddenly stood in place, and they didn't know what was happening.

Why did you stop?

Atai slowly raised one hand to cover his chest, and frowned slightly: "What, I suddenly don't want to fight." Well, I'm going to buy everyone a drink. ”

After speaking, Atai walked out of the training hall quickly.

Then, in the corner of the player's tunnel, he finally couldn't hold back and shouted: "What a pain, that bastard is so ruthless!" ”

This heart-piercing pain almost didn't make Atai die on the spot!

If it weren't for the scruples of face, he would have shouted it on the spot just now.

Wayne's guy looks harmless to humans and animals, but he didn't expect there to be something on his elbow!

Atay instantly felt like he was back in his rookie year, when he broke two of Jordan's ribs in training with an elbow under Jordan's taunts.

Well, now he's been taught a lesson by another rookie.

The difference is that after Jordan's ribs were broken, he insisted on finishing the ball before walking off the court.

And although Atai's ribs were not broken, they were so painful that they couldn't hold on at all.

There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, who does the sky forgive.

Atay found out that he underestimated Wayne's guy!

He is by no means a good stubble, and he is by no means a good child.

Made's hands are black!

Although he was embarrassed by Wayne, Atai couldn't help but laugh.

This rookie, to the appetite!

If this elbow hits that exploding head in Detroit, see if he's still cross!

If I don't dare to hit someone, I let someone else do it, and there's nothing wrong with it.

But don't go head-to-head with Wayne in the future, lest you repeat Jordan's old path......

This time it didn't break, but if you can't keep it, it will break next time......

"Mm-hmm, I can't go to him alone." Atai nodded to himself.

Ten minutes later, the relieved Atai bought everyone a drink, and then didn't mention the heads-up.

Little O'Neal patted Wayne on the shoulder happily: "Good job, rookie." ”

"Uh......" Wayne didn't know what to say, just hit a few balls and just slipped away?

This is probably called subduing people with elbows.

The Pacers are really strong, and they all make friends with elbows.

When Carlisle and Mike. When Brown returned to the training ground, he watched Artey obediently train, not knowing what was going on.

Well, it may be this season's Artai, he's really mature.
