CHAPTER XXXV
Chapter 35: The Incident at Auburn Hills
After yesterday's training, Pacers coach Carlisle is more satisfied with the fat man, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
The manager is optimistic about it, more than anything else.
Therefore, when the fat man plays, he also gets playing time, which is much higher than David Harrison, who is more than 30 places taller than him.
During this period of time, the fat man did not slack off, and in order to stay and work hard, he was careless, and his performance in several games was even worse than the Pacers' number one backup center Scott.
In the past three games, the fat man has averaged 6 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.
The fat man also learned about his own data, although it is not a top data, but the Pacers will definitely not fire him.
Knowing this, it also made the fat man breathe a sigh of relief.
To the surprise of the fat man, after a series of outstanding performances, Pacers general manager Larry Bird also converted the fat man's non-guaranteed contract into a guaranteed contract for the first time.
This also makes the fat man very happy.
Through understanding, the fat man knew that this Pacers president named Larry Bird was an amazing person.
The previous year, Larry Bird became president of the Pacers, and in his first year in office, he built a league powerhouse that the Pacers won 61 games that season.
It's a great honor.
This is also enough to see his ability to recognize people, employ people and manage the team.
Being able to be played by Larry Bird is also an extremely face-saving thing for a fat man.
However, it was only later that the fat man found out that he was sold and counted the money for others, and he was happy here. Of course, this is a later story, at the very least, the fat man's contract has changed from non-guaranteed to guaranteed, which is still a very worthy celebration for the fat man.
The contract change, which also means that he will not worry about being fired in the next year.
As long as the year is over, then the money will be in hand.
It's a beautiful thing to think about.
The fat man had a good time this time.
And the Pacers he is in also have an extremely good record, and the Pacers have not lost since the beginning of the season.
At the beginning of the new season, he won 7 consecutive victories in a straight wave, and he also led the whole league, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league, full of domineering.
This season's Pacers, giving people a sense of making a comeback.
The outside media is also extremely optimistic about the Pacers this season, and various experts and media are also touting the Pacers as the number one favorite to win the championship this year.
It was a big blow, and now the Pacers have no rival in the league.
Extremely awesome.
And the defending champion Pistons are not as popular as the Pacers, for a while, in the league, the Pacers are in the limelight, and they can't suppress it.
The fat man is also in the habit of reading the news now, and after he saw this information in the newspaper, he also smiled and couldn't close his mouth, the Pacers are the number one favorite to win the championship!!
Thinking about the fat man is excited, this is the best news he has heard for him, except for the transformation of non-guaranteed contracts into guaranteed contracts.
The Pacers are the number one favorite, doesn't that mean that the Pacers have a good chance of winning the championship this year?
And his main task is to help the Pacers win the championship, and I thought: God will help me.
The non-guaranteed contract has become guaranteed, and the Pacers are still the league's number one favorites to win the championship, and there is no better news than that.
The fat man is still smiling and can't close his mouth.
However, all these things happened before that event, and after that incident, the fat man also fell from heaven to hell.
November 19, local time in the United States.
The weather was terrible today, and as bad as it was the Pacers.
Because, they will face the extremely difficult Detroit Pistons, the defending champions.
The Pacers played the Pistons at home in the opener, and in that game, the Pacers won at home.
That is, since that game, the Pacers have never lost again, and until today, the Pacers have won 7 consecutive games.
And the Pistons, the difference between the record and the Pacers is only one game, and this one is also a loss to the Pacers.
It was precisely because of that loss that the defending champion ranked one place lower than the Pacers and second in the entire league.
Therefore, the Pacers' away game against the Pistons, as the media claimed, is a revenge battle for the Pistons to find the Pacers.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this battle is a war of revenge.
Last season, in the Eastern Conference finals, the Pacers were eliminated by the Pistons.
Although it is not a feud like the Lakers and the Celtics, it can be regarded as an enemy who is very popular when they meet.
Whoever looks at it is extremely unpleasant.
The game hasn't started yet, but the battle between the Pacers and the Pistons is extremely hearty.
First, on the Pistons' side, the team's interior guard Ben Wallace said that he wanted to win the Pacers by 20 points, which was not arrogant or arrogant.
On the Pacers' side, Xiao Ao was also unconvinced, saying that even if the horse is released, we will still win, just like before.
The game has not yet started, but the war of words between the two sides before the game has pushed the attention of the game to another level.
This game did not disappoint the fans, it was extremely exciting and extremely hot.
The Pacers, like the Pistons, are defensive teams.
Most of the time, the big man on the inside is seen playing muscle against muscle, and from the beginning of the game, the Pacers and Pistons players are also turning a good basketball game into a football game.
All kinds of killer moves beyond the scope of basketball have also been released frequently.
The Pacers played hard, the Pistons played harder, everyone was tough guys, and it was inevitable to bump and bump in the game.
And the consequence of these touches, in the end, is that people on both sides take turns to stand on the free throw line.
Execute a free throw.
In the first quarter of the game, the Pacers' side was still defeated, and the Pacers trailed by 6 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the game entered the rotation time.
The fat man also got the opportunity to play, the fat man is so big, of course, he is not afraid of physical contact, others are afraid of him.
His big head, standing on the inside, the smaller player, can barely see the basket.
This is also where the advantage of fat people lies.
In less than a minute of going up, the fat man won 3 rebounds, and he also made a violent dunk under the basket, which also made the fat man extremely excited.
And it was precisely because of the fat man's outstanding performance that the Pacers replaced the bench, but narrowed the score.
It is precisely because of the fat man's outstanding performance that he has also become the target of the Pistons.
