I am Really an Insider

“Bondation mission: fuck those sissy girls in Piston.

Mission goal: After the start of the regular season, win the first meeting with the Pistons with Artest.

Mission reward: Establish a bond with Ron Artest. "

Looking at the task in front of him, Wayne panicked a little.

I thought the system would let me date Sharapova, but I didn’t expect that the system would let me date Artest!

Well, it seems like this is a serious basketball system. Things in life are not under its control.

And it turns out that the co-authorship bond relationship can be achieved directly this way.

In other words, completing tasks is the fastest way to earn bonds.

Sure enough, this bond value cannot simply and crudely be equated to the personal relationship between two people, but increasing the personal relationship can also increase the bond.

After all, feelings are indeed something that cannot be quantified.

That's fine. Wayne was originally worried that he would have a few more sworn brothers.

This mission isn't that difficult, it's mainly troublesome.

While always paying attention to Artest's emotions, he also has to try his best to win the game.

Wayne felt like he was an all-around daddy.

Oh, by the way, there is Rasheed on the Pistons side who is ready to kill him at any time.

It’s so exciting!

No matter what, this task must be completed as hard as possible.

Because from Artest, you should be able to get more useful defensive badges.

Although Artest is crazy now, his Defensive Player of the Year award last season was real.

The second tool man after Tony will be you!

Tony: Aren’t we brothers?

It seems that the game at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the new season will be the starting point for the butterfly effect.

After putting the lucky tennis ball in his pocket, Wayne took a taxi back to the hotel.

It's time to end this trip to New York.

Back in Indianapolis, Wayne continued training as planned.

Anyway, with the "Man of Steel" badge, he is so patient and willful.

If you can't practice to death, then practice to death.

Since there is not much time until the start of pre-season training camp, Wayne also received support from the Pacers this time and sent several trainers to him.

Among them is Dutch center Rick Schmitz, who retired 4 years ago.

As a special trainer, he mainly guided Wayne's interior offensive skills until the start of the new season.

Although Bird mainly wanted Wayne to play small forward, he also found that Wayne basically did not attack with his back and did not play at all.

It's okay to play inside without a back, after all, Wayne is still very thin.

But if the position is misplaced so that even a small person can't hit from behind, it will stretch the crotch.

Therefore, Bird felt that Wayne knew a few tricks, so he hired such a teacher for Wayne.

Rick Schmitz was the second overall pick in 1988. He was considered the second-in-command of the Pacers in the mid-to-late 1990s. He was the team's strongest star besides Miller.

When Yao Ming first participated in the draft, his template was this Dutch center.

He is a typical European big man, 2.24 meters tall, with a soft touch and exquisite inside skills, but his physical fitness is a bit lacking and his playing style is soft.

Although he is not a superstar, his performance throughout his career has been very stable. From his rookie season to his retirement year, he averaged double-digit scoring contributions per game in every season.

He averaged 18.5 points per game in his peak season and was an All-Star in the 1997-98 season. He was once a figure in this cornfield.

Although Schmitz is not well-known in an era when the four major centers dominated the interior, his strength is indeed worthy of praise.

Being a teacher is more than enough.

And to learn something, not only the teacher is important, the students are also important.

"Big Dream" is so awesome, not everyone can teach it.

Schmitz originally didn't want to teach a rookie. After retiring, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to his favorite sport of cross-country motorcycles.

Well, the sight of a 2.24 meter tall man running wildly in the mud on an off-road motorcycle is simply unimaginable.

I'm afraid the motorcycle can be driven as a truck.

However, due to Bird's personal invitation, the Dutch agreed to come and help the children.

Schmitz respects Bird very much.

In the first few seasons of his career, Schmitz was tepid with the Pacers.

It was Bird's arrival and his excellent use that allowed Schmitz to have a brief peak.

Because Bird himself has average physical fitness, he is very good at using players with less outstanding physical fitness after becoming a coach.

Without Bird, Schmitz's All-Star Game might have been lost.

I have to say that the celebrity's face is still somewhat valuable.

In this way, Wayne's low-post offensive skills finally made some progress.

Finally, the day before the Pacers' preseason training camp began, when Wayne stepped on the scale, he found that his weight had reached 105.2 kilograms.

The weight gain plan was a huge success!

"Great, all you have to do this season is to maintain this weight!" Mancias looked at his results with a sense of accomplishment.

At this point, Mancias pulled out a newspaper from a few months ago. Above, that's a photo of Wayne from the March Madness tournament.

Wayne picked up the photo and compared it with himself in the mirror.

Big, big, thick and big!

"The weight gain has been successful, but you have to pay attention to rest in the next month. If you get injured before the start of the new season, it will not be worth the gain."

"Yeah, don't worry Mike, I feel fine." Wayne looked at himself in the mirror and nodded.

Rashid probably didn't recognize him when he saw him.

In addition to weight, the training during this period also increased Wayne's other attributes a lot.

Naturally, the strength has improved greatly, reaching 65. Coupled with Karl Malone's iron elbow, it will probably make Rashid lose weight.

The low post attack followed Schmitz's example and reached 52.

It's hard to say how superb he is, but Wayne, a little jumper who can turn around in the three-second zone, is pretty good right now.

The range of low-post offense is too broad. Wayne estimates that his rating is a combination of multiple abilities.

He visually inspected his short-range turnaround jump shot and found it to be 60 or 70.

Don't ask, just ask about shooting talent.

In terms of ball control, I just reached 50.

If you want to say that like AI and Irving, the butterfly steps through the flowers and harvests the ankles, it is indeed not enough.

But some simple breakthroughs with the ball, basic changes of direction, and basically can play.

Wayne discovered that controlling the ball not only increased his proficiency in dribbling, but also his ability to make pull-up jump shots and fake shots, which require a combination of shots and sudden shots, seemed to have also increased a lot.

Due to the increase in strength and weight, coupled with training, the interior defense rose to 61.

Then Wayne also discovered that the dunk god had increased by 3 points.

Could it be that he jumped higher than before?

But the 3-point increase seems to be of no use.

But it doesn't matter if it's increased, thanks to teacher Sun Zhengping, in the eyes of Chinese fans, Wayne is a beastly power forward who flies in the sky and plays ball.

This wave of holiday upgrades can be considered a relatively large upgrade, increasing the values ​​of 5 attributes at once.

But Wayne also found that attributes such as three-pointers, blocks, and physical fitness were already relatively high, but it seemed difficult to practice them. He basically had to rely on adding points.

Wayne guessed there were two reasons.

First, the lower the attribute, the better it is to practice. Once your attributes are improved, it will be very difficult to break through the bottleneck.

Secondly, due to Wayne's own natural disadvantages, certain attributes may only be able to reach so high through training.

Just like Teacher Tony, if you train him to lie down, he won't be able to become Kuritian.

Also, if Wayne can become a super giant by practicing alone, then why does he need a system?

Therefore, this type of attribute can basically only be obtained by adding points.

In other words, the higher each attribute is in the future, the harder it will be to improve it through training.

If you want to break through the bottleneck, you still have to rely on krypton!

But then again, training also has growth points, and the higher the level of training, the more growth points you can get.

Just relying on those growth points from playing games is not enough to fill the gap between teeth.

So even if Wayne can no longer practice on his own in the future, training cannot stop.

What the hell, it’s an endless loop.

There's no other way, he's just destined to be a gym rat.

The ultimate achievement of having his jersey retired in a nightclub is probably something Wayne will never be able to achieve.

Oh, what a pity

But overall, this summer's efforts were not in vain.

The pre-season training camp will begin tomorrow, and Wayne's NBA career will also officially begin!

Thinking about it, I'm a little excited.

In the afternoon, Wayne returned home early.

He bought a two-story house in the North End of Indianapolis. It couldn't be called a mansion, but it was certainly much more comfortable than a college dormitory.

Since Wayne doesn't have a driver's license yet, Mike Mancias also temporarily works part-time as Wayne's driver.

Well, I still have to solve the car problem after a while. As an NBA player, he rides on his trainer’s car every day, and he’s not afraid of people making fun of him if he tells it.

On the way home, Wayne saw posters about himself on street billboards more than once.

I have to say that Nike has really done a good job in advertising.

Another reason is that Indian citizens are really passionate about basketball, so there is a market for basketball-related advertisements.

"Basketball was invented in Massachusetts, but basketball was invented for Indiana."

This sentence is really not unreasonable.

As soon as I got home and before I could sit down comfortably, Aunt Jenny called to tell me that the press release had been sent to my e-mail.

Tomorrow is the first day of pre-season training camp. There will definitely be a lot of random questions from reporters. Like guessing questions in college entrance exams, Jenny simulated more than a hundred questions and perfect answers, giving Wayne time to take a look.

As soon as Wayne saw those words, he immediately felt sleepy.

Okay, don't worry about being too excited to sleep tonight.

So, that guy Okafor must be able to carry this thing very well.

Not everyone can be Mr. Perfect.

Just when Wayne was about to start studying Aunt Jenny's manuscript, his newly purchased Motorola E680 rang.

This mobile phone has a touch screen and a stylus, which is extremely advanced in this era.

When I looked at the caller ID, it was Tony.

Miss me so soon? They are indeed sworn brothers! Well, even though I was tricked into becoming a sworn sworn disciple.

Wayne answered the phone, and Tony's voice immediately came from the other side.

"Hahahaha, Wayne, how are you doing in the big cornfield?"

"It's okay, it's just that my posters are all over the city." Wayne said this deliberately, who made Tony laugh at himself about the big country in Indianapolis.

"Oh, that's incredible. Do you know what I gained today? Don't be envious if you tell me."

Through the phone, Wayne could imagine Tony's expression of needing a beating.

Before Wayne could speak, Tony eagerly announced the answer himself.

"On the first day I met Paul Pierce today, he gave me a Czech Leopard watch worth 30,000 US dollars. Hey, I was embarrassed not to want it, so I accepted it. How about it? Do you want to send you a photo? look."

"This" Wayne really didn't expect that Pierce would be so generous?

"Don't be envious, I'm looking forward to the news of your first meeting with your teammates, Wayne. I believe that the guys from the Pacers will treat you very well.

After all, the Pacers are the gentlest team in the league. "

Wayne was speechless. Tony went to Boston to become an Onmyoji.

Even though I knew he was joking, I still wanted to hit him.

After hanging up the phone, Wayne was no longer interested in reading the interview transcript.

It's better to go to bed early and set off tomorrow full of energy.

As for the interview, well, just answer it casually.

Early the next morning, Wayne gave Mancias a ride to Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

When Wayne walked into the locker room, several people were already inside, and O'Neal was among them.

In Wayne's impression, O'Neal Jr. was also a ferocious and violent guy.

But surprisingly, O'Neal was very kind when he saw Wayne. His baby face is also very cute.

"Hey, Waziap, Wei. Welcome to join our team, let's fight side by side this season." As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Ao enthusiastically high-fived and hugged Wayne.

Under the leadership of Xiao Ao, others also bumped fists with Wayne.

It is not difficult to see that Xiao Ou wants to take the initiative to take on the responsibility of the leader of the locker room.

After all, Miller is old and Artest is unreliable. The most suitable person to be the next leader is O'Neill.

He is indeed working in this direction.

"Hello everyone." Wayne nodded friendly. This place didn't seem as scary as he imagined.

"Wei, did you see what was written on the locker room?" At this time, O'Neal pointed to the top of the locker room door.

Only then did Wayne discover that there was a sentence written on the wall of the locker room door: "Don't let your teammates down."

This is the Pacers' locker room motto.

Just like the Celtics saying: "Which one hurts more? Training hard or leaving regrets?"

"Remember, on the basketball court, we are a whole. Only when the five of us form a fist can we be lethal. Haha, relax, change clothes and prepare for training.

Your locker is on the right, near Ron. "

After speaking, Xiao Ao patted Wayne on the shoulder.

I have to say that O'Neal's image in Wayne's mind has undergone a 180° change.

Therefore, it is really easy for some people to misunderstand without actual contact.

After a while, most of the Pacers arrived in the locker room, and even Miller, who was nearly 40 years old, and new aid "Martial Saint" Jackson walked in leisurely.

However, at this time, the owner of the cabinet next to Wayne still did not appear.

"Where did Ron go?" Little O'Neal frowned, obviously unhappy.

He and Artest haven't spoken to each other since last season, so they have been grudges for a long time.

Miller shrugged, as if he was used to it, "Leave him alone, he will show up later."

Under the leadership of the old Miller, the teammates who changed their jerseys all walked to the training ground.

On the field, head coach Rick Carlisle and assistant coach Mike Brown are already waiting for everyone.

Wayne found that the atmosphere of this championship team was indeed a bit subtle.

On the surface, everyone is united and wants to win the championship again. But under the table, a bomb seems to be counting down at any time.

Just as Carlisle was about to speak, the "Tennis Master" opened the door to the training hall and walked in with a swagger, as if he didn't notice anything wrong with being late.

"You're late, Ron." Carlisle shouted forcefully.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, coach, let's get started." Artest stood in the crowd with a playful smile, just next to Wayne.

"Hey, you've really gotten stronger, Wei." Artest looked at Wayne approvingly.

"Yeah, the training worked."

"But it's still too thin. Let's play two games later. Let you get used to the intensity of the NBA in advance. I said, I will test you personally before the season starts, right?"

After Artest finished speaking, he winked at Wayne.

Is this... going to be done on the first day?

Sure enough, the teammate here, Zhenima, is the gentlest existence in the league.
