Chapter Ninety-One: Questioning Goes Underwater

said that Cao Jian's luck was there, that Cao Jian's performance was just a flash in the pan, and some people said that the strength of the Denver Nuggets was not strong in itself, and it was natural for him to have such a performance. said a lot of what was there and didn't, all in all, in short, it was to say that Cao Jian couldn't do it.

Age is not good, too young, skin color is not good, racial discrimination, basketball is a black sport, and it is difficult for yellow people to gain a foothold in the league.

In the alliance, there are many people who criticize this, but even more people pay no attention to it.

Ignoring Cao Jian, some people don't even know who Cao Jian is?

The Cleveland Cavaliers' next opponent is the Indiana Pacers' leading star, three-point sharpshooter Reggie Miller, who directly said: "Cao, Cao Jian, who is he?" I do not know. ”

There are many other stars who have reacted like Reggie Miller.

And quite a few.

Actually, this is not to blame Reggie Miller, this reaction is relatively normal, as a player like Reggie Miller who is destined to enter the Hall of Fame, he really shouldn't think about that rookie. At this time, they are also busy.

However, this also reflects from one side that Cao Jian played well in this battle and performed remarkably, but it did not cause too many ripples in the alliance.

The NBA is such a cruel place, you have to think about improving yourself all the time, staying competitive, making yourself at the top of the league, thinking that you have achieved some small results, and you are complacent, and this kind of player is bound to be eliminated.

After the Cavaliers played against the Nuggets, they immediately rushed to the Indiana Pacers and challenged the Indiana Pacers away.

The Indiana Pacers are a powerhouse in the NBA.

Since joining the NBA in 1976, the "Miller moment" has been a topic of conversation among fans.

The Pacers reached the Eastern Conference Finals four times under the leadership of coaches Larry Brown and Larry Bird, and reached the Finals in 2000, but lost to the Lakers, who were in full swing at the time. In recent years, the Pacers have gradually declined due to frequent injuries to their main players.

However, these conditions have been improved this season, and the still brave Reggie Miller and O'Neal Jr., Artest, and Harrington formed a more balanced offensive and defensive lineup and ushered in an explosion, and since the start of the game, the Indiana Pacers have not tasted a defeat, and have won five consecutive victories in the opening game, making a good start to the 03-04 season.

This time, the Cleveland Cavaliers challenged the Indiana Pacers away, and it was evaluated by the outside media as an unbeatable game.

In response to this game, various media also published their lives, listing N many reasons, to analyze, and argue that the Cavaliers could not win this game.

This season, the Pacers have gathered Harrington, Miller, Artest, O'Neal Jr. and others, but what kind of people are these people?

On the morning of November 6, 2003, after the pre-game training against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Indiana Pacers training hall suddenly burst into laughter.

Another rookie from the Pacers has suffered.

The rookie is forced to sing and do a striptease, and the scene is dominated by the Pacers' main small forward, defensive beast, and defensive maniac, who rank third in the NBA this season with an average of 2.08 steals per game, and as the Pacers' most important defensive player, he has always succeeded in blocking his opponents, including some of the league's best players, who are averaging only 9.3 shots per game, shooting 42.6% from the field and averaging 8.1 points per game under his marking.

Focusing on the position of small forward, whether LeBron James can escape from the defensive beast Artest has also become one of the highlights of this Cavaliers vs. Pacers game.

Before the Pacers vs. Cavaliers game began, Artest the Beast said, "I can defend any small forward in the league, not even Maddie. Not to mention that rookie. Against the Cavaliers, I'll teach him how to play basketball. ”

Artest is so arrogant and uninhibited, but it also shows his confidence on the defensive end.

"Ron. Do you think the singing is good? It was Harrington, the Pacers' Sixth Man of the Year, who averaged 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, making him a strong contender for Sixth Man of the Year.

"Doesn't it sound good, will Ron let him sing? Is. Still, I think Luke's hips are writhing well, and I'm waiting for me tonight. Luke. "The one who speaks is the tall black big brother, little O'Neill.

Little O'Neill is also a madman.

In the 2002-03 season, O'Neal Jr. also played his own value, and last four seasons he officially became one of only three players in the league to average 20 points and more than 10 rebounds per game. He started the NBA All-Star Game and was named to the All-NBA Third Team.

In July, the Pacers extended O'Neal Jr. with a seven-year, $123 million contract.

In the past five games, O'Neal Jr. has also averaged 20.1 points and 10 rebounds per game, and in the past five games, it is precisely because of his eye-catching performance that the Pacers have won five consecutive victories in the past.

"Wow wow, what did I see, white fart, blooming chrysanthemum, Luke, give me one night, don't refuse me." Reggie Miller, who had just finished his three-point shooting practice, also joined in.

Reggie Miller is already a legend and needs no elaboration.

He is destined to be a player in the Hall of Fame.

In addition to the above four, the main point guard on the Pacers' main lineup is Jamal Tinsley, who also intervened, "Reggie, is it okay to have a 3P?" As he spoke, he pretended to be pitiful.

Maybe many people are not very familiar with Jamal Tinsley, but this guy is a celebrity in college, and his fame is not much different from LeBron James's high school days.

He was named to the All-American College Team by the Associated Press for three years in college, and his outstanding performance in the past three years has earned him the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year and the Pan-12 League All-NBA Team.

ESPN Magazine's All-American Striker of the Year, Sports News' All-American, Basketball of America Player of the Year, Basketball Times All-American, NCAA's All-American Team of the Year, NCAA Mid-Western Region All-America's Wooden Award, Peter Newell's All-American Tall Player of the Year.

And he was also selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 27th pick in the first round of the 2001 draft and became a member of the Pacers.

That is, the above group of people, gathered together to spoof rookies, who became a rookie on the Pacers, that day really couldn't be lived.

The rookie named Luke who was played may also be used to it, singing and enjoying himself, twisting his waist and limbs, and being strong enough.

The crowd watched Luke's performance with interest, and suddenly, as if Jamal Tinsley remembered something, he said to Reggie Miller, "Ho. Did you read the newspaper this morning, and there was a lore last night, you know? I heard that it was staged by a rookie, a yellow race, 18 years old, can you believe this? ”

"That's it!! What are the draft picks? Reggie Miller was also very curious and asked.
