"Well done, Darko." When Darko Milicic directly blocked O'Neal's shot in the first confrontation with O'Neal, the Pacers players, both on and off the court, shouted at Darko Milicic almost frantically, and it was definitely a "great cause" that could be blown for a long time to be able to cover O'Neal's head.

scored four points in a row in the opening minute, and also gave O'Neal a big hat on the defensive end, Darko Milicic's performance just now can only be described as perfect, and for Darko Milicic's performance on the court, Rick Carlisle is still satisfied in addition to being satisfied, perhaps in Rick Carlisle's heart, he has long expected Darko Milicic to have such a performance.

In today's game, O'Neill unexpectedly chose to return early, so after Jermaine O'Neal was rested, Rick Carlisle could only give the responsibility of limiting O'Neal to Darko Milicic, and Darko Milicic's performance in the minute just now also made Rick Carlisle look forward to the next game.

The first attack with the ball, he was mercilessly blocked by Darko Milicic, so O'Neal, who was a little annoyed, was ready to let this white child who touched his moldy head taste the power of the big shark in the next game, but O'Neal, who had already shown 100% strength, was shocked to find that he didn't know if he was really old, or if this kid was really a combination of Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki as rumored, and he was actually playing alone with the ball. There is no way to crush him with physical advantages, but he has to rely on his rich competition experience to get this kid.

After scoring in the singles, O'Neal, who slowly retreated to the backcourt, never took his eyes off Darko Milicic's body, although this little guy is still lacking in game experience, but this guy's physical talent is definitely at the historical level, super long arm span, excellent movement speed, amazing strength, if he is 5 years younger, he will definitely be able to teach this child to be a man, but now, O'Neill, whose body functions have begun to decline seriously, has some sad findings, He may no longer be able to rule the paint district of the Alliance.

"Rick, Darko's performance is fantastic!" Looking at Darko Milicic, who was only slightly inferior in the confrontation with O'Neal, Lester Connell, who was standing on the sidelines, was overflowing with excitement at the moment, although on the offensive end, Meng Xu has been feeding Darko Milicic, but on the defensive end, Darko Milicic's strength is real, if it weren't for his lack of game experience, maybe he would be able to play back and forth with O'Neill today.

"If it weren't for the time lost in Detroit, Dakko would have a brilliant future." Darko Milicic's current performance also makes Rick Carlisle very happy, as long as Darko Milicic can continue to improve like this, he will definitely have the opportunity to become an All-Star level interior in the future, but the more he thinks about it, the more Rick Carlisle feels sorry, the Pistons have two years, the Kings have been one year, and for three years, Darko Milicic has not done anything, and even compared to when he first entered the league, Darko Milicic not only did not make the slightest progress, but also regressed, and he did nothing for three years. This is undoubtedly very fatal for a young player who needs to improve at every moment, because the older he gets, the less room there is for Darko Milicic to improve.

"Darko, good job." After the first quarter, when Darko Milicic came off the court, Rick Carlisle handed him a towel as usual, while also patting him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Rick Carlisle is very satisfied with the team's performance in the first quarter, especially Darko Milicic, whether on the offensive end or on the defensive end, Darko Milicic almost perfectly supported the gap left by Jermaine O'Neal, cutting 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks in the first quarter of the game, especially these statistics were all cut against the big shark O'Neal.

"Thank you, Boss."

"NN, thank you."

Panting, Darko Milicic, who sat on the bench, said thank you to Meng Xu and NN Hilario who were sitting next to him wiping sweat, Darko Milicic's performance in the first quarter was really good, not only O'Neal was very uncomfortable on the defensive end, but also scored the highest 11 points of the Pacers on the offensive end, but Darko Milicic knew very well that if there was no NN Hilario to cooperate with him, if there was no Meng Xu deliberately feeding himself the ball, I can't play like this at all.

"Thank you, we're all here to win the game." Smiling slightly at Darko Milicic, Meng Xu continued: "There are still long days ahead, if you keep being so polite, you will be too tired." “

"yes, I see." Looking at Meng Xu's bright smile, and the NN Hilario who was squeezing his eyebrows at him behind Meng Xu, Darko Milicic was really moved, whether it was in the Pistons or in the Kings, Darko Milicic never felt this warm environment in the locker room, they gave Darko Milicic the feeling of being a colleague and a competitor, while in the Pacers, Darko Milicic felt the warmth of home, maybe that's why those Pacers players whose contracts expired would rather take a pay cut and renew their contracts, I don't want to leave the Pacers.

Just when Darko Milicic was talking and laughing with his teammates on the bench, O'Neill was on the bench on the other side, with a towel on his head and a look of displeasure.

Having been blocked twice by Darko Milicic in the first quarter and having been cut off by 11 points on his own head, O'Neal can remember only when he faced Olajuwon and Tim Duncan in the face of big dreams.

"Are you really old?" O'Neill looked down at the floor not far away, his fists clenched, his teeth chattering, he was only a champion! I haven't fulfilled the vow I made when I left Los Angeles, and I haven't fulfilled the promise to bring a championship to Miami!

After handing over the task of arranging tactics to assistant coach Eric Spoelstra, Pat Riley turned his head to look at O'Neal, who was already sitting on the bench, and for some reason, after seeing O'Neal's unwilling look, Pat Riley suddenly felt a sour nose.
