However, the game between the Pacers and the Wizards is a game to test the level of stars, and Reggie Miller announced before the game that the end of this playoffs is the moment when he leaves the Pacers and chooses to retire. It can be said that the Pacers were able to move the score back to 2-2 in the first four games, and Reggie Miller's mental role is irreplaceable.

In the NBA, there is no history of sympathizing with anyone on the court, even if Kwame is genuinely for Reggie? Miller expressed his respect, and he will also choose to complete his respect with the highest respect on the battlefield.

In the fifth key game, Kwame played the whole court without a second of rest, and completed a quasi-quadruple-double of 38 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists and 8 blocks in this game to show his respect for Miller.

Even if Miller scored 28 points in this game, even if O'Neal Jr. really started to heroically rush to the basket guarded by Kwame Brown in the game, wanting to win the foul and win the game.

Even if Artest only allowed Jamison to score 6 points and 7 rebounds in this game under Artest's full defense, even if Jackson reduced Arenas' shooting rate to 30 to 5 for the first time, even if the Pacers really used everything they could!

However, Kwame still won the series by almost one-man by four points.

After the game, the members of the Pacers, who are iron-clad men, couldn't help but want to hug Miller after the game, but looking at Miller's expressionless face, everyone immediately put away their sadness at this time, even if the Pacers players already knew what the final result would be at the moment of loss, even if this was Miller's last trip to the playoffs.

Miller chose to exchange jerseys with Kwame after the game, and the veteran patted Kwame on the shoulder silently before walking into the players' tunnel, and then turned to leave, while the Pacers players were behind Miller, as he walked out of the away court for the last time.

At that moment, the Pacers fans couldn't hold back the tears in the corners of their eyes, and the fans of the Wizards at the MIC Center gave the league veteran a collective standing ovation.

This wasn't Miller's last game, but it was Miller's last away game, the league's famous three-point killer, his trash talk that made you want to beat him up, Miller's last away game.

The Pacers in Game 6 still did not choose to give up, and Miller fought tenaciously from the first minute to the thirtieth minute under the defense of Hughes, a member of the All-Defensive Team, until Miller fell unsteadily in front of Hughes.

Miller, who fell, tried to stand up with his hands on the ground, but his old legs were already overwhelmed at this time, even after Miller made every three-point shot, the fans in the audience stood up to cheer and cheer for him, even if Miller's fall affected the hearts of all Pacers fans, but no one thought that Miller would really have a day when he couldn't stand up because of fatigue.

Miller was beating his legs hard, hard, and constantly at this time, and finally Miller, who let out an angry roar, still stood up, but his trembling legs were no longer able to complete the next game.

Little O'Neill wanted to hold Miller in the past, but Miller stopped anyone from coming to help at this time, he moved his thighs to the sidelines, looking at the muscles that were constantly trembling, no one would feel good in their hearts.

At this time, Carlisle wanted the team doctor to come forward to show Miller, but Miller just said at this time: "Marco, I want my thigh to be tied with fixing tape!" I'm going to finish this game! Can you help me? ”

Carlisle said coldly at this time: "You are playing now, it will only add defensive trouble to your teammates, you have done everything you can in this game, what you should do now is actually trust your current teammates, and watch your teammates play for victory on the sidelines." This game isn't your personal farewell feast, Miller! You have to admit that you can't defend any of the players on the Wizards right now! ”

Even if Miller made some big moves on defense in this game, but the referee didn't blow a whistle for this, Miller is indeed the first target of the Wizards' breakthrough, and he has long been a hole in the Pacers' defense, which is a fact, a fact that no one dares to expose easily.

At this time, the Pacers players who heard such words all glared at Carlisle, and Artest, who had the biggest temper, said directly: "What you say is bullshit, Miller's appearance is the biggest impact on the Wizards......"

Miller watched Carlisle close his eyes coldly at this time, looking at all the players' angry eyes at Carlisle, Miller only then changed from the mentality of the game, and immediately said angrily to everyone: "What are you doing? ”

After hearing Miller's voice, everyone turned their attention away!

Miller hadn't fully come to his senses at this point, he just wanted a game to win, and then he did something really wrong, and he bowed his head to Carlisle on behalf of all the players of the Pacers?

Carlisle looked at Miller a little stupidly after seeing Miller's bowing action, not knowing what to do!

Carlisle whispered to Miller with some anger: "Reggie? Miller, what are you trying to do? What do you think of me? ”

Carlisle looked at the Pacers players who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and completely felt that this game was really going to end, and the only thing he could do at this time was to whisper to Miller: "There will be no time for this long timeout!" If I were you, I would calm the emotions of the players now, you are the coach on the field now, you understand? Let your little brothers quickly wake up, play well and play the game, we still have hope of winning this game! Do you know! ”

Miller listened to Carlisle's whispered voice a little stupidly, his mind was still immersed in the game, and he was a little really confused, but his reason finally told him that Carlisle was right, and he could only shout to the players instead of Blair at this time, and the Pacers players finally stabilized their emotions.

But at this time, the Pacers players did not have the slightest tendency to cheer up, and they began to have a personal heads-up mode on the court, as if they wanted to show themselves well in front of Miller.

In the case of Miller's run, the Pacers' offense is decent, and it is constantly pulling the Wizards' defensive space with Miller's running, but after Miller left the court, many players' singles began to coincide, and the overlapping positions also led to tactical confusion.

Tinsley is good at breaking through and low-post singles, but Artest's ability is to set up his arms to crush his defenders and directly impact the singles under the basket.

But under the threat of Jackson's ineffective three-point shooting, under the premise that the Knicks are tightening the basket, and Kwame is the power forward and Haywood is the center, the Wizards' current basket is not a restricted area, and not everyone can toss, even if this person is Artest.

Packed on the inside, even if there is a three-second limit, the Pacers' offense, after losing Miller, can only rely on sporadic scoring support.

That's it, the Pacers didn't rely on offense, but on strong defense, but in this game, they underestimated the determination of the Wizards.

In the last game, Arenas, who was limited by Jackson, began to block and constantly impact the basket with Kwame, and he did not force to shoot three-pointers, and began to shoot more confidently from the middle range, Larry? Hughes relied on his physical breakthrough, which made Tinsley who defended him feel at a loss.

Jamison did not force the ball to attack under Artest's defense, but began to run without the ball, in terms of physical fitness, Jamison's strong characteristics are still his height that can be three or four, and the flexibility that meets the No. 3 position.

Jamison, who is not pursuing an offense with the ball, showed a strong finishing ability, and with the team's assists, Jamison scored 23 points in the game.

Seeing that the players seemed to be hot-headed to do something stupid, Carlisle let out a long sigh, but did not call a timeout to say anything...... On the surface, the Pacers this season seem to have the capital to play against any team, and Carlisle knows that if this team can't break through while Miller is still around, the team's next choices will become extremely unpredictable.

What's more, in the final stages of this game, the Pacers actually collapsed in front of the Wizards, which is something that the management of any team aspiring to a championship cannot tolerate.

Thinking of the player's direct refutation in front of Miller at the end, Carlisle couldn't help but smile bitterly, Carlisle, who was already extremely sad for the Pacers, already knew that there was a journey that had reached the end.

When Miller opened the score, he kept shouting something, telling the players to pay attention to this, pay attention to Kwame, but shouted two sentences Miller, who felt wrong, could only look at Carlisle at this time.

Facing Miller's almost distress-seeking eyes, Carlisle still called a long timeout, remedied the form on the field, rearranged the tactics on the field, and Carlisle, who kept saying something on the tactical board, did not look up at his players, but after he finished arranging, looking at all the players panting, he finally shook his head helplessly in his heart......

In the three games, the Pacers, who are almost all seven-man rotations, have reached the verge of physical collapse, and looking at Kwame, who still has the strength to play the game after taking cover and other measures in the first half, Carlisle knows that in this game, the Pacers have lost!

Miller, who everyone hated except Pacers fans, ended the last game of his career in such a somewhat comical way that no one would have imagined. (To be continued.) )
