I am Really an Insider

October 11th is the day the NBA preseason Pacers VS Wizards begins.

Early in the morning, Wayne was already busy and began to accept various interviews.

After the Olympics, the whole of China is now caught in an NBA fever.

Because in addition to Yao Ming and Wayne, the Kings also offered a short contract to Chinese defender Liu Wei and invited him to play in preseason games.

At the same time, three Chinese players will appear in the preseason, which will undoubtedly make the fans enthusiastic.

Moreover, both Liu Wei and Wayne will play against Yao Ming respectively, which makes Chinese fans want to stop.

Amid this craze, Wayne's popularity can be said to remain high.

In addition to the exclusive interview, Wayne also received a text message from Chairman Yao in the morning: "Don't be nervous and perform well."

Well, it seems that I have attracted Chairman Yao's attention now. In this case, it is impossible for others in the country to ignore themselves.

Maybe there will be international competitions next summer?

It wasn't until noon that Wayne finished the interview and gathered with the team at Bankers Life Arena.

Although it is a preseason game, everything today will follow the regular season process.

From adapting to the venue to warming up, every step is strictly controlled.

In addition to China, Indianapolis, the basketball city, is also very popular.

When taking Mancias' car to the arena today, Wayne could see a lot of people outside the arena.

This is only the preseason, and the arena is expected to be full.

Under the guidance of his trainer, Wayne carefully warmed up before the game.

Although the preseason is not a particularly important game, Wayne is still well prepared.

In fact, many teams play preseason games just to observe marginal players and then let the main players get a feel for them.

During preseason games, a team can bring more than twenty people. But before the final season begins, each team's roster must be reduced to a maximum of 15 players.

This means that in the short period of time from the preseason to the start of the regular season, dozens or hundreds of people will be laid off, disappear from the league, and find another way out.

This is the NBA. Behind the superstars and the spotlight, it is these ordinary players who no one can name, fighting in a pool of blood to build this pyramid in the basketball world.

Therefore, star-level players like O'Brien and Artest were very relaxed today, and the old Miller was chatting and laughing with Carlisle on the bench.

As the main force, they are not the protagonists of the preseason.

But Wayne is just a rookie, so he must perform at a high level even in the preseason.

This is the fastest way for him to impress his coach.

And finding good form in the preseason will also help to perform stably in the regular season.

Halfway through the warm-up, people came from the other half.

The Washington Wizards players showed up.

Arenas looked relaxed. The face of the Wizards after Jordan probably wouldn't play for too long today.

Jamison, the best sixth man last season, had a serious expression.

As a new player, he must get more involved with the team, so his playing time today must be 25 minutes or more.

And he also knows who his opponent will be - the famous MOP in the semi-finals!

Jamison isn't worried that he won't be able to beat a rookie, and having said that, what are you playing in this preseason? Is it victory or defeat?

No, what I'm talking about is just talking about human feelings and worldliness. What I'm playing is just a running-in state. There's no need to be too serious about winning or losing.

Since you don’t need to be too serious about winning or losing, then don’t even think about winning in MOP!

Let me, the senior, handle this situation!

Whoever wants to play the role of a rookie upgrade package can take it, but he is not the best sixth man to do it anyway.

Therefore, when Jamison warms up, he is also very careful to avoid straining his hips.

Last night, he specifically read the scouting report. That MOP is about 2.06 meters tall and weighs less than 100 kilograms.

Jamison's current official height is also 2.06 meters, but his actual height is only about 2.03 meters.

Based on Jamison's experience, Wayne's height must have been underestimated.

But it doesn't matter, it's not the first time Jamison has faced off against players taller than him.

When the time comes, just rush him to death!

The game is about to start, and the leaders of both sides are about to take their positions.

In the stands, the Yincheng fans were already agitated.

Wayne found that many Chinese fans held up signs with their Chinese names and kept shaking them.

This momentum is no worse than Chairman Yao's NBA debut.

The fans in Indianapolis were much more creative, waving cards with Batman masks to show their support for Wayne.

Because of Wayne's name, it is easy for American fans to think of the famous comic character Bruce Wayne, the one with the ability to make money.

And who is the most famous Chinese Kung Fu star in the United States? Bruce Lee.

Combine this famous name with Wayne, and that’s Batman!

This is the earliest documented nickname Wayne received in the league.

"Wei, come here, let me tell you a few words."

The game was about to start, but Artest, who did not start today, waved at Wayne.

Wayne was really speechless. In the past, everyone called him by his full name in school, but now with the Pacers, everyone calls him Wei, which always made Wayne feel uncomfortable.

Because no matter how it sounds, it sounds like: "Hey, come here."

Walking to the sidelines, Artest whispered a few words in Wayne's ear: "When a warrior goes to the battlefield, he must first make the opponent afraid of you. If you don't toughen up, everyone will bully you.

See Jamison? That guy must be thinking about how to deal with you with his stupid head.

What you did to me during training that day, you will do to him today. Dry! Let him stop having bad ideas! "

"Oh oh" Wayne was really embarrassed after hearing this.

Is this what Defensive Player of the Year looks like?

Come up and let yourself fuck someone else.

Those who didn’t know better thought you were a corner coach in a fighting game.

But Gangtai's words are rough and unreasonable. The NBA is a place where the weak prey on the strong.

Just look at how many people in this league want to dunk on Chairman Yao's head.

In the distance, Jamison watched Artest talking to Wayne, and suddenly felt a little scared.

Damn, that guy won't teach the rookie some weird things, right?

And why do you think Wayne is so much hotter than Artest?

How tall is this thing? ?

After a short interlude, the game officially started.

The Pacers' starting lineup is center Scott Pollard, power forward Wayne, small forward Michael Curry, shooting guard "Martial Saint" Jackson, and point guard Anthony Johnson. It is basically an experimental lineup.

On the other side, the Wizards' backcourt duo of Arenas and Larry Hughes are sitting high on the Diaoyutai. Jamison can basically be said to be the Wizards' strongest force on the court.

The Wizards got the ball first, and Juan Dixon controlled the ball for half the game.

"The game begins. Today is Wayne's first appearance in an NBA game! Although it is not an official game, it is still a challenge for Xiao Wei!"

CCTV5, teacher Sun Zhengping’s voice can instantly make fans watching football in the early morning no longer sleepy.

In the 1990s, there were basically no live TV broadcasts of preseason games.

But after entering the new millennium, preseason games have also become a part of the NBA's money-making process.

Isn't that right? Today's preseason game was broadcast overseas.

Jamison is ready to slip Wayne from beyond the arc, and most fours can't keep up with his speed.

But he soon discovered that this thing was not slow!

As long as Jamison doesn't encounter a power forward like Garnett, he can basically hit the target.

But today, he was cornered by a rookie.

Moreover, Jamison found that this junior's 2.06 meters was probably a bit too fake.

Generally speaking, it is understandable that the height is two to three centimeters lower, but Jamieson visually estimated that Wayne must be over 2.10 meters tall!

Who gave him the courage to report 2.06 meters! ?

As we all know, in the NBA, 2.06 meters and 2.06 meters are different.

Jamison had no chance at all, but as the strongest player in the Wizards' lineup, he still caught the ball.

Then, with open arms, Wayne stood like a wall in front of Jamison.

The moment Jamison got the ball, he felt like his mentality was about to collapse.

This defensive range... I'm afraid I can even play the fifth position.

So, last season's best sixth man took two steps back, and he planned to use his speed to beat Wayne!

After a beautiful change of hands at the hip, Jamison accelerated and rushed past Wayne, leading by less than half a body.

Halfway through, Jamison stopped and prepared to shoot.

His move often makes most No. 4 positions lose their defensive position.

But Wayne is not in the majority.

He almost completed the emergency stop with Jamison, and then raised his long arm to cover Jamison's face.

As a player who also likes to make pull-up jump shots, Wayne has already reserved a hand.

Jamison took a "blind sniper" shot and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

This is not the first time that Jamison has faced off against someone taller than him, but there are really not many who can complete the interference as quickly as Wayne.

Why? It feels like Wayne is more of a No. 3 player than Jamison.

"Good shot. The opponent hit Wayne as soon as he came up, but Wayne didn't let him get what he wanted. Now it's the Pacers' attack."

The first choice for the Pacers' lineup is Wayne.

Carlisle wanted to test whether Wayne could shoulder the responsibility of the sixth man.

Jamison sticks close to Wayne. He believes that Wayne is a high-powered player who has no offensive means other than catching and shooting.

However, Wayne, who was originally ambushing the bottom line, suddenly took action.

Wayne's first step was already fast, and coupled with his long pace, he immediately threw away the unprepared Jamison.

"Martial Saint" Jackson saw Wayne throw away his opponent and thought to himself, "Oh, this guy has two tricks, so I'll let you show off to the end."

So he just threw the ball high.

Wayne saw that it was a high ball, jumped up and caught the ball firmly in the air.

This time, Jamison didn't even have a chance to foul, and watched as Wayne smashed the ball directly into the frame.

"Alley-oop! As soon as the game started, Wayne ended the offense with a very beautiful dunk! It can be seen that Wayne and his teammates have formed a tacit understanding. The previous training sessions have been very effective."

The Chinese fans all shouted along with Sun Zhengping on TV, "This is how the brutal striker must fight!"

On the Pacers bench, the players were applauding Wayne's dunk performance.

After scoring, Wayne ran up and rubbed the pile of "algae" on Jackson's head, thanking him for the pass.

At the beginning, some people were worried that Chinese players would not get along with the Pacers, a group of "bandits".

But now it seems that Wayne has not integrated well into this circle.

Some people appear to be handsome and elegant on the surface, but they are exposed when they meet the same kind of people.

Then the Wizards attacked, and second-year forward Galvis Hayes made a half-volley layup.

The Wizards' offense has no routine, it's basically one-on-one. With Arenas here, we can score points, but now with Dixon playing point guard, it's just a matter of one move for everyone to open up the singles.

Wayne immediately jumped up to grab the rebound, but the moment Wayne took off, Jamison expertly tugged on Wayne's jersey.

Although the changes in HC rules have encouraged offense in the NBA this season.

But in this era, the whistle is still not as strict as it was more than ten years ago.

If this kind of pulling under the basket doesn't cause any big impact, it's generally not something to worry about.

Being pulled by Jamison, Wayne almost fell when he landed.

The NBA is really dangerous.

So after landing, Wayne raised his elbow while turning around, which was regarded as a return gift to Jamison.

"Boom!"

Jamison only felt a burning pain in his ribs. Damn it, are all the rookies in this class so social?

Jamison suffered the loss of being mute. He originally wanted to smear Wayne, but unexpectedly, he was slandered by Wayne.

"Hahahaha, good shot!" Artest was extremely excited in the audience. Only he knew best how Jamison felt at this time!

Carlisle glanced at Artest speechlessly. Damn it, you shouted so loudly that even the referee could see it.

Wayne handed the ball to Anthony Johnson before Jamison recovered, but instead of lazily trailing behind, he immediately followed up and participated in the counterattack.

By the time Jamison ran back, clutching his chest, Wayne and the others had already passed the midfield line.

This goal is equivalent to 5 on 4. Wayne cuts directly from the center, then receives a pass from his teammate and goes straight to the basket in three strides.

Kwame Brown, the fourth-year high school draft pick, slid to the basket to cover, but Wayne did not slow down.

Anyway, we have a "man of steel", so let's just rush with the basketball on our shoulders.

As a result, Kwame Brown was suppressed by the aggressive Wayne.

Mainly because Jamison was elbowed like that, which made Brown a little scared.

Moreover, Brown is still living in the shadow of the old gangster and is still not very confident in himself.

Therefore, when there was a confrontation, the champion's confrontation was not very fierce.

Wayne relied on Brown to score a layup, 4-0!

After Wayne scored, they all looked at Brown in surprise. He clearly had a chance to defend this goal, right? He actually took the initiative to get out of the way?

As expected, Artai sincerely did not deceive me! The first thing to note when playing in the NBA is to brace your elbows!

This deterrent effect is perfect!

After that, Jamison imitated Wayne and cut to the basket for a layup, but missed the frame again due to Wayne's extremely high defensive range.

In terms of height, Jamison was completely overpowered.

Forget about being suppressed in height, the main reason is that Jamison doesn't have much advantage in flexibility.

This time, after Wayne got another rebound, Jamison stayed away.

"The ball is for you, don't hit me!" Last season's best sixth man shouted in his heart.

Seeing Jamison immediately take three steps away from him, Wayne wanted to say: "That's it? Is he the best sixth man last season? I can do it too!"

Speaking of which, I just want to play as the sixth man this season.

Well, maybe we can really fight for it.

A dog is never too poor, and a reward is never too small!

The game continued. Although it had only been a few rounds, Jamison discovered that

The way that boy Wayne looked at me, it seemed like he really thought of himself as an upgrade package.
