Chapter 710: A New Generation Sends Old People (1)
"Come on, Darko!" On February 21, 2007, Meng Xu, who was already waiting in the athletes' tunnel at the American Airlines Arena, gently patted Darko Milicic on the shoulder a few times, which can be regarded as an encouragement to him.
"Hmm." Darko Milicic barely pretended to be indifferent and nodded lightly towards Meng Xu, but his restrained look and slightly stiff limbs had already betrayed him.
If you count this season, Darko Milicic has been in the NBA league for four seasons, and LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and others, who entered the league with Darko Milicic, became the leading players of a team at the beginning of entering the league, and now they have become a popular new star in the league. So Darko Milicic was excited when he heard in the locker room that head coach Rick Carlisle arranged for him to be in the starting lineup, although Darko Milicic had to enter the starting lineup because of Jermaine O'Neal's rotation, but for his first start after coming to the Pacers, Darko Milicic is still very much looking forward to it.
Not to mention that Darko Milicic has to play against Shaq O'Neal today, so today's game is probably the most important game of his career for Darko Milicic.
The regular season matchup between the Pacers and the Heat, originally due to the absence of Shaq O'Neal and Dwyane Wade due to injury, evolved from a battle of focus of strong conversations to a game of disparity, but when Shaq O'Neal announced before the game that he would return early, this game became the focus of everyone's eyes again, and just after Shaq O'Neal announced that he would return early, Dwyane Wade, another core of the Heat, also announced that he would play in today's game, Therefore, the regular season game between the Pacers and the Heat has once again become the focus of all nine games of this round, and even the ABC television network has temporarily changed today's game to a game broadcast live to the United States.
Amid the boos of the audience, Darko Milicic walked into the court after Ronnie Brewer and PJ Tucker, listening to the deafening boos around him, Darko Milicic not only became more nervous, but the original emotional mood became more and more calm.
After the Pacers walked off the court, the Heat began to walk out of the tunnel one after another, and when Dwyane Wade and Shaq O'Neal finally walked onto the court, the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.
Looking at the big fat man who kept waving to the surrounding audience, and Dwyane Wade, who entered the league in the same year as himself, Darko Milicic was both envious and jealous, once upon a time, Rick Carlisle told Darko Milicic that he would be a player like Shaq O'Neal and Tim Duncan, and he had on his shoulders the responsibility of reviving the Pistons, and Darko Milicic also secretly vowed to be the best player in the league to live up to Rick Carlisle's trust and expectations. However, as soon as Darko Milicic signed with the Pistons, Rick Carlisle was fired by the Pistons, and Darko Milicic was also put into the cold by Larry Brown, who was later appointed, and began a darkest and most helpless bench career.
After joining the Pacers this season, under the persuasion and encouragement of Rick Carlisle and Meng Xu, Darko Milicic, who was already a little disheartened, regained his fighting spirit, and Darko Milicic, who had the title of "Little Prince of Nightclubs" in the late Pistons, vented most of his energy on the training court after arriving in Indiana, and Darko Milicic's efforts were not in vain, in the Pistons and Kings period, even playing 10 minutes was a luxury Darko Milicic, This season's playing time in the Pacers has directly increased to 20 minutes, and the average data per game has skyrocketed from less than 2 points and 1 rebound in previous seasons to 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, and an average of one block per 10 minutes.
"Don't be so nervous, baby, I can't eat you." After the warm-up, the starters of both sides began to appear one after another, and Shaq O'Neal, who represented the Heat jump ball, also went straight into the middle circle, but after seeing that it was not NN Hilario who jumped the ball on behalf of the Pacers, but Darko Milicic, O'Neal was complacent at the same time, but also wanted to tease the little guy, although he wanted to win today's game, but O'Neal's funny nature did not disappear because of the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
"Hmph." Ignoring O'Neill's taunts, just snorted, Darko Milicic began to listen to the referee next to him explain the rules and precautions of the jump ball to him, after all, this is the first jump ball in Darko Milicic's career, so Darko Milicic also behaved very cautiously and carefully.
Thinking back to Jermaine O'Neal's own jump ball essentials, while watching the basketball in the referee's hand, Darko Milicic slowly lowered his body, his legs bent slightly and slowly accumulated, and began to sit for the next jump ball to sit the final preparation, as a top show, Darko Milicic knows that he does not lack talent, nor lack of fighting spirit, but he is just a chance to prove himself, and in today's game, Darko Milicic is full of energy, ready to prove himself in front of the strongest center in the league, To prove that he is worthy of his rank, he must also prove to the world that it is not that he has no ability and talent, but that the Pistons and the King do not have Bole.
Although Rick Carlisle told him before the game that O'Neill was old in order to relax Co Milicic, and now he is no longer the flexible fat man, but Darko Milicic, who is well aware of O'Neal's prestige, is still very focused and does not have a trace of carelessness, because Darko Milicic has been waiting for this day for too long.
"Beep." With the referee's whistle, Darko Milicic and O'Neill started almost simultaneously and leapt into the air.
