The entrance ceremony began.

Because Li Wei angered the Indiana media before the game and said things like "your dad is still dad", Indiana fans were also very unkind, and every player on the Knicks court was booed!

"Center, 2.21m, No. 11 from Lithuania, Zajunas Ilgoskas!"

"Shhhh

"Organizational Guard, 1.88m, No. 17 from Florida State University, Charlie Ward!"

"Shhhh

"Small forward, 2.11m, No. 21 from Farragat High School, Kevin Garnett!"

"Shhhh

"Shooting guard, 1.98m, No. 20 from the University of Tennessee, Alan Houston!"

"Shhhh

"Power forward, 2.03m, No. 34 from Virginia Union, Charles Oakley!"

"Shhhh

The five starters all appeared on the stage, and the beam of light on the scene hit Li Wei again!

Generally speaking, the host will simply point to the head coach, but today, as if in order to intensify the conflict, the host of the scene deliberately shouted: "The Knicks backup point guard, who is also their head coach, 1.50 meters, from Harvard University, set a record of 21 consecutive losses at the beginning of the season, David Lee!" ”

Boo!

Countless fans shouted, "Little brat, go home and find your dad!" ”

"Die to the gnomes!"

"Living White Flag!"

"The King of the Dead!"

Li Wei smiled slightly, faced the 16,530 fans at the scene, and made Iverson's listening gesture!

The boos of the fans were immediately pushed to a new peak by Li Wei's gesture!

Bob Costas said, "Coach Lee's gesture is really terrible! ”

Isaiah Thomas said: "Yes, there are two people who like to make this gesture the most, one is Iverson, who does this gesture to listen to cheers, and the other is David, who listens to the boos on purpose!" ”

Bill Wharton said: "Yes, that's right, Li Wei is a very interesting person, if he scores a goal on the field, or something to celebrate, he will give a fist salute, which is said to be an ancient Chinese etiquette, to show modesty." But as soon as the fans booed him, he was not polite and immediately made this listening gesture. ”

Costas said: "That is, I have listened to how you scolded, and I don't care!" ”

Isaiah Thomas said: "This mentality is very good! ”

Costas said: "It should be said that the skin is thick enough! ”

After booing the Knicks, it was the Pacers' turn to take the stage.

Their starting five are still Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, Dale Davis, and Rick Schmitz.

The Indiana fans screamed in unison and gave a round of applause!

Bill Wharton said: "The Pacers under Bird haven't changed much, but they feel completely different from last season. ”

Isaiah Thomas said: "Yes, they had a three-game losing streak at the beginning of the season, but after that they got better and better. ”

Costas said: "At the beginning of December, he played a six-game winning streak? ”

Bill Wharton said: "Yes, three straight home wins followed by three straight away wins, and then back-to-back games in Salt Lake City before losing to last year's overall runner-up Jazz. ”

Isaiah Thomas said: "This back-to-back schedule is to go to that hellish place in Salt Lake City to face last year's runner-up, even if you lose, it is understandable. ”

"After that, they went on to win three in a row. ”

Bill Wharton said: "Yes, the Pacers have won three in a row, and as long as they win the Knicks, who are at the bottom of the league, they can make a four-game winning streak today, I don't know how long Coach Bird can last this wave of winning streak!" ”

"I feel like this winning streak from the Pacers is going to last a long time, at least longer than the six straight wins they just went through," Costas said. ”

Isaiah Thomas said: "Don't talk about it, the Knicks are in good shape, they have won two in a row. ”

Costas laughed, "But before that, they had lost 21 in a row. Maybe their player quality is not really the bottom of the league, it's just that the coach is poor, but this gap is enough for them to not beat the Pacers. ”

Bill Wharton said: "That's right, the Pacers are a first-class team right now, Isaiah, you shouldn't be on the Knicks' side, right?" ”

Isiah Thomas knows that hosting the show requires someone to praise it, someone to hack it, and to look good with both positive and negative.

Now that both partners have chosen to support the Pacers, of course he has to support the Knicks!

"Frankly, in my heart I'm more supportive of the Knicks, and you all know my old coach, Chuck Daley, who is sitting on the Knicks' assistant seat, is my mentor. And Larry Bird has always been my opponent, and I can't wait to see him deflated! ”

Costas said: "Do you think the Knicks have a chance to win?" ”

Thomas said: "Of course, as long as Coach Lee can follow Chuck's arrangement, the Knicks still have hope of winning." ”

When the commentators teased each other, the two teams had already finished their preparations, and the center forwards of both sides came to the center circle to jump the ball.

Bird said loudly to Li Wei: "Hey, how is the atmosphere of our City Square Arena?" ”

Li Weidao: "It's good, it's not worse than our Madison Garden, it's just a pity, today's result is destined to disappoint the fans here!" ”

Bird said: "Don't be funny, you can't win, this is not a preseason, 21 consecutive defeats, tsk." ”

Li Wei smiled: "I have answered this question in Indiana Media, do you need me to say it again?" ”

Bird snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Okay then, let's see who is who's father!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the center forwards of both teams jumped at the same time. Big Z was one step ahead of Schmitz this time, and the ball was pulled into Houston's hands.

The Knicks attacked, and Big Z blocked and dismantled Charlie Ward in the high post, and directly dismantled after blocking.

A tall man of 2.21 meters, tall and long-legged, he stepped outside the three-point line in one step!

Bird on the sidelines was slightly stunned, then laughed.

He has seen this routine, this is how the Knicks played in the preseason, and then Big Z shot 0 of 3 from beyond the three-point line!

The whole Madison Gardens were booing him!

Opposite to Big Z and Schmitz also smiled when he saw Big Z running outside the three-point line, and he also remembered what happened when Big Z shot 0 in 3!

Unlike the back-to-back Knicks, the Pacers had a day off yesterday and carefully analyzed the information provided by the scouts.

They know that the Knicks are a team that shoots three-pointers all over the team, but has a worrying accuracy rate. Garnett, the representative figure, shot only 16% from three-point range.

What is the concept of a 16% hit rate?

That means that one sighs, two sighs, and then a wave of four and three irons!

Bird said at the time, the Knicks were also in a good position, and then the Pacers players laughed together!

Although Big Z is more accurate than Garnett, his three-point shooting rate is only 30%, which belongs to the type that can be emptied, Schmitz ignored him as last time, and went to the basket to protect the basket!

He didn't believe that Big Z still dared to vote!

Charlie Ward saw that the big Z was empty, and quickly passed the ball to him.

Big Z stands outside the three-point line and jumps immediately after receiving the ball!
