Chapter 187: [Going Crazy: Who is going to kill that Chinese!] 】
Larry Bird has in mind the greatest moment in history: "Miller moment!" ”
The earliest "Miller moment" was Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and New York in 1994. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Pacers trailed by 12 points heading into the fourth quarter, and New York loyalist fan Spike Lee trash-talk to Miller went wild, resulting in Miller scoring 25 points in the quarter, including five three-pointers, and after shooting the final three-pointer, Miller made his famous chokehold at Spike Lee in demonstration.
Lu Deng's two-handed choke-locking action just now is exactly the same as the original action of Reggie Miller to Spike-Lee's two-handed choke-locking action.
Is this a tribute?
Or is it a provocation?
The most iconic "Miller moment" was born on May 7, 1995.
It was the first game of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Pacers and Knicks were fighting hard, when the Pacers were 6 points behind the Knicks, and there were only 18.7 seconds left in the game.
But Miller broke that routine by hitting a three-pointer and then stealing the ball from the Knicks in the front court to score from distance as the Pacers surprised to tie the score at 105-105.
After that, the Pacers fouled, the Knicks missed two free throws, Miller got a rebound and forced the Knicks to foul, he hit both free throws, and then the Knicks Ewing missed the shot, and the Pacers narrowly won by 2 points.
That time, the total time was 18.7, and the Pacers only took 8.9 seconds to attack.
At this point, the timer showed 11:51 seconds remaining in the section, and Lu Deng used up 8 points, and the time used was less than 9 seconds.
Is it a coincidence?
Who knows?
But there's no denying that Lu Deng created a new great moment in the first nine seconds of his first official race: Lu Deng's moment.
It's not as great as Miller's moment, but it's crazy enough!
Unlike the deathly silence of the fans, the live commentary on the local TV station has already gone crazy:
“…… It was only the first race we broadcast this year, and in the first 8.9 seconds of the first race, we witnessed a great moment being born. ”
"That's right, Miller must still be on vacation, I don't know if he's watching this game. If Lu Deng's next free throw goes in, his 'Miller moment' will be replaced by Lu Deng's moment! Although the gold content of Lu Deng's goal ......"
"No, no, no, don't talk to me about the 'gold content', 8.9 get 9 points, in any game, the question of gold content is no longer important! The lore moment is certainly crazy, but the 'murder' at the beginning is also intoxicating! I would say that the amazing champion from China created his own moment in his first pre-season game, in the first 9 seconds of the first pre-season game! And it's right in the Rutton arena, just under Miller's No. 3 jersey. Oh my gosh, I guess there were already a lot of people messaging Miller Sr. at this point, and I really wanted to see Miller Sr.'s expression. His big eyes were so surprised that they fell to the ground! ”
"Did you see Lu Deng's movement of locking his throat? This guy is definitely prepared, he's so arrogant! ”
"But he's paying homage to the jersey above his head!"
"That can't hide his arrogance."
"It doesn't matter, guess what I'm thinking, I'm thinking about the Cleveland Cavaliers bigwigs, David Griffin sending Ludon away, and of course we all know that LeBron is behind the deal, what are they thinking at the moment? I'm afraid that even my intestines are repentant. ”
"No, no, no, I'm the opposite of you. I think LeBron is rejoicing, if there is no deal, if Lu Deng stays by LeBron's side, who knows who will be the boss of the two of them in the future! LeBron doesn't want someone who can take his throne around......"
……
On the court, Lu Deng walked to the free throw line and hit a free throw. In the opening 8.9 seconds, he scored 9 points, which is unprecedented.
Pacers coach Vogel called a timeout with a black face.
The timeout was called 8.9 seconds into the game, which is unique in NBA history.
CJ Miles was almost in a trance, and when he returned to Vogel's side, he felt that Vogel's eyes were like a sword, almost piercing his body!
He almost doubted life.
CJ Myers has enough reason to doubt life, and Lu Deng's anti-heaven play today is "another straw" that makes him doubt life.
Indeed, CJ Myers' fate is somewhat delicate. While he's known for his poor shooting options and love of RAP, he's a good guy in private: he's enthusiastic, hard-working, runs camps with kids, and dreams of playing for a championship team.
The problem is: In the 2010-11 season, he finally played at the peak of his career with the Jazz -- and then Sloan withdrew.
In 2012, he went to the Cavaliers, played for two years, and his grades were at the bottom.
So he chose to leave in the summer of 2014. There were two places to go: Trailblazer and Walker, and he chose Walker.
He clearly feels that this team is closer to the championship. Two months ago, the footage of the Pacers playing the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat is still fresh in my mind. Such a team has a promising future.
Then: He leaves the Cavaliers with the front foot, and LeBron comes back with the back foot. The Cavaliers are once again the kings of the East!
Later, his new club, the Pacers, suffered a major accident, Stevenson was gone, Paul George was seriously injured, and the championship favorite fell into the abyss at once.
Good luck always misses him, but bad luck goes hand in hand.
As long as he is a normal person, do you think he should doubt life?
Especially today, it was his first game to join the Pacers, and he was stolen, dunked, and three-pointer by Lu Deng in the opening game, and was scored 9 points in 8.9 seconds.
"I really shouldn't have come to the Pacers, the Trail Blazers are the better choice!" Miles thought as he avoided Vogel's sharp eyes.
Vogel didn't curse! Among the young coaches, Vogel has the ability, level, and self-cultivation, and he is angry, but what happened just now does not seem to be entirely to blame CJ Myers and George Hill.
What he had to do was to get his disciples back in spirit.
Vogel tapped on the tactics board, he didn't explain tactics, he just motivated his soldiers like a marshal:
"Alright, let's get rid of the sleepy bugs! It's a new season, it's not a dream, you know?
"You look up at the retired jersey above your head, that No. 3 jersey is Reggie Miller's, Lu Deng's 'throat lock', this is provocation, this is the most disrespectful Reggie Miller!
"I ask you, what are you going to do?
"That's right, you're going to protect Reggie's honor and be defended to the dignity of the city.
"Reggie needs you, Indiana needs you, the 20,000 fans in the stadium need you!
"Go, let that Chinese pay!"
If Vogel is not a coach, if Vogel is an officer in the army, then he must also be a very good officer.
He provoked the wrath of the Pacers.
Everyone who is back with a burning flame!
