I am Really an Insider

Larry Bird sat in the luxurious box, watched the performance of the players below, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the game between the Indiana Pacers and the Phoenix Suns has reached the final moment, and the Pacers lead by 7 points.

There are only 5.3 seconds left for the Suns, and the overall situation is set.

On the big screen at the scene, a close-up of Jermaine O'Neill's face appeared.

Today, he once again became the best player in the game without any suspense.

32 points, 14 rebounds and 8 blocks!

O'Neal's performance is the key to the Pacers' victory today without Artest.

In the latest MVP rankings, Jermaine O'Neal also ranked fifth.

People are now discussing who is the absolute overlord of the new generation of No. 4, he or Garnett!

However, what makes Bird most proud today is not O'Neal's performance, but the shooting percentage of the Suns players.

Stephen Marbury, who averaged 20.8 points per game, was defended with only 14 points in this game, and his shooting percentage was only 26.7%.

The Suns' No. 2 offensive point, Sean Marion, was not much better, scoring 15 points on 40 percent shooting.

The Pacers' defense made Bird very proud.

It is precisely because of this unparalleled super defense that the Pacers will get 14 wins and 3 losses this season, the best record in the Eastern Conference!

"The performance of the boys is getting better. If Ron hadn't truce due to injury today, we might be able to widen the point difference to double digits." Beside Bird, Pacers president Donnie Walsh took out A cigar was handed to "Big Bird".

"That's right, otherwise, how could Marion still get 15 points?" Bird took the cigar and put it in his mouth, quite like his mentor "red head" Auerbach.

"The team I built myself is so awesome." In the end, the "Forcing King" didn't forget to brag about himself.

In 2003, this was Larry Bird's first year in the Pacers' management.

However, Pacers fans already have a lot to look forward to from Bird.

Because in the late 1990s, Bird had saved this team in a similar way.

From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, Larry Bird briefly coached the Pacers.

At that time, he promised that only three years of coaching in the team would definitely make a huge difference to the team.

As we all know, the "King of Force" has a buff bonus that pretends not to fail.

Thus, Bird's pretentious journey in coaching career officially began.

In the first year Bird coached the Pacers, he led the Pacers, which had only 39 wins in the previous season and did not make the playoffs, to an impressive record of 58 wins, ranking second only to the Bulls in the Eastern Conference. Won the best coach award.

In the end, the Pacers fought hard against Jordan's Dynasty Bulls in seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals before losing.

In the next two years, Bird led the team to win the second place in the Eastern Conference and the first place in the Eastern Conference once, as well as the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals!

In the past three years, he has led a team outside the playoffs to two Eastern Conference finals and one finals. Bird has once again fulfilled his bragging.

Of course, he also stepped down as head coach after the third year, as promised.

Now, Bird is back again, but as director of basketball affairs.

Although the position has changed, all Indianapolis fans believe in Bird's ability.

They firmly believe that Bird can make the Pacers skyrocket like they did a few years ago.

In the end, Byrd did it fucking again!

This summer, Bird decisively fired former Pacers coach Isaiah Thomas as soon as he took office, hired his friend Rick Carlisle as the team's head coach, and drastically changed the team's system and style of play.

This is how the Pacers are now proud of their record.

So hearing Byrd boasting himself, Donnie Walsh just smiled slightly.

Bird, this guy, really has the capital to brag about himself.

Bird came back this time to lead his hometown team to the championship.

And the current Pacers, as long as they are not hit by major injuries, are definitely a championship-level team!

This time the three-year plan, Bird is very confident to win an O'Brien Cup for the Pacers!

At the end of the game, looking at the cheering fans below, Bird raised his wine glass.

"This is to honor you."

After drinking in one gulp, Bird and Walsh walked out of the luxury box. It was another wonderful night.

When Bird and Walsh just walked out of the luxury box door, Big Bird found that scout Sweet was waiting outside with a file bag.

"Sweet? Why are you here?" Bird was a little surprised, because the scout only needed to put the report in his office, and he didn't have to wait for himself to submit the report himself.

"I have a new scouting report that needs to be handed over to you." Sweet said, handing the file bag to Bird.

"Is there anything special?" Bird took the report and opened it face to face.

"You know, I've been giving you that guy's report for a month. Although he's not in our plan, I think you should really see how he's doing."

"Well, you mean the guy who confuses Harrison?"

"It's him. He's now promoted to the middle of the second round in the draft predictions, and his team is now ranked eighth in the country!" Sweet's voice became excited. As a scout, the happiest thing is of course to dig It's treasure.

For a month now, Sweet has attached a copy of Wayne's scouting report to Bird.

From his point of view, the arrival of Wayne can help the team further expand the space and completely liberate O'Neal and Artest.

Of course, he is just a scout, and more professional people will consider tactical matters.

What he has to do is to bring the best players to Bird.

Even players outside the team's plan.

"Okay, I'll take a look at his report. Thanks for your hard work, Sweet." Bird waved his hand and thanked Sweet for his enthusiasm for work.

Of course, he didn't take a second-round pick to heart.

"By the way, Larry, there's one more thing!"

"Huh?" Bird, who was planning to leave, stopped again. If it wasn't for the fact that Sweet was an old employee of the team or a native of Indianapolis, he would have been impatient.

"Tomorrow night, Oklahoma State meets Texas, and it's definitely the biggest matchup in the Big 12. If you have time, watch that kid play. Believe me, you will too He's interested."

"Tomorrow, okay, I'll take a look when I'm free." Byrd nodded on the surface, but he had no intention of watching it.

In short, let's get rid of this overheated enthusiasm of Sweet first.

"Okay, Larry. Well, I'll leave it alone."

After Sweet walked away, Donny Walsh approached Bird curiously.

Although he is the team president, Bird, the director of basketball operations, is basically in charge of the Pacers' basketball affairs this year.

"What's going on? Isn't our goal this year Harrison?" Walsh asked curiously.

"Oh, Sweet said that when watching Harrison's game a month ago, he accidentally found a Chinese student who was very eye-catching. So, every time he sent me the scouting report of that guy."

"Chinese students? It's really rare. Why, are you interested?"

Facing Walsh's inquiry, Bird spread his hands: "I don't think we can get the second Yao, let's see, if that guy is really that good, he will naturally appear in our field of vision. "

Byrd put the report back into the file bag.

Now, he just wants to enjoy today's wonderful victory.

※※※

Wayne called up his system interface and increased his traverse speed from 62 to 67. The growth points he had accumulated in the past month were running out.

Wayne wanted to cry but had no tears. The match was really aggrieved.

On the surface, it seems that the win is glorious, but due to the low intensity and difficulty of the competition, it is impossible to get a few growth points at all.

And the more he looked at his current attribute interface, the more depressed Wayne became.

Why have none of the attributes related to physical fitness, such as bounce and speed, been unlocked until now? How many times do you have to upgrade to see it?

Wayne was envious every time he saw Graham running and dunking.

Now you don't have to add anything if you want to, and you don't know how many attributes there are in this area.

Wayne can only guess based on his own feelings, his speed should be good for the fourth position, like the thin Yao Ming in his rookie period, more flexible.

But bouncing is a bit stretched, and blocking shots depends entirely on height.

Horse eggs, at a young age, he played the feeling of Duncan standing and blocking shots in his old age

Wayne shook his head. At the moment, he can only use stats in the game to make up for the lack of points.

Speaking of which, at the end of the training this afternoon, the system gave Wayne a new task.

Wayne switched to the system interface and looked at it again.

"Mission: The key battle at the beginning of the season.

Mission Objective: Win the game against the University of Texas.

Mission reward: double growth points for a single game. "

Since it is only a short-term small task, the task reward is very simple and not too rare.

But now, Wayne, who just wants to upgrade quickly, doesn't want to let go of even a little bit of grasshopper meat, let alone double the amount of grasshopper meat.

In tomorrow's game, you must do a good job and help the team well.

Three-pointers, you must shoot more three-pointers!

The University of Texas' defense is not covered, and it is easy to make mistakes when trying to get assists.

So the most efficient way to score points tomorrow is to shoot more three-pointers.

Of course, as a senior fan in his previous life, Wayne also hated data brushes very much, and he himself would not allow himself to become a data brush.

If the three-pointer feels bad tomorrow, Wayne will not keep shooting for points.

But if the three-pointer feels good

"Hey." Wayne rubbed his chin and couldn't help laughing.

Wayne is too familiar with his matchup tomorrow, P.J. Tucker.

Because in the future, Tucker still made his own way in the league, which is a typical late bloomer.

But that guy is less than two meters tall, and Wayne has an absolute height advantage.

Coupled with the help of the straight arm shooting package, Tucker's interference with Wayne's shooting is almost negligible.

If it feels good in the hand, then don't just shoot through it and max it out! ?

Wayne rubbed his hands excitedly, Brother Tucker, you and I met in college ahead of time, it's God's will!

The opportunity to double growth points must be bitten hard on Tucker!
