I am Really an Insider

James and Big Z scored consecutively and finally brought the score back.

In the first game of the new season, no one wants to lose.

What's more, it's still in this kind of game that is broadcast live across the United States.

In fact, James has always aimed to reach the playoffs. Last season, the Cavaliers were only one win away from the playoffs.

To put it bluntly, the Cavaliers do have a chance to make the playoffs.

If you work harder this year, maybe you can make it happen?

Therefore, James will not let any victory slip away from Cleveland easily.

At this time, all Cavaliers fans were cheering for the performance of Mousse and Big Z just now.

So when Wayne took off his training clothes and came on the field, the fans didn't react much.

In Cleveland, James is the most popular athlete, and the Final Four MOP doesn't work here.

But far away in China, the fans are in a different state.

Seeing Wayne finally play in an official NBA game, all the fans were glued to the TV.

"Hey, Wayne is here! Yes, in this anxious moment, it's time to send Wayne up to make some changes. Let's see if Wayne's previous outstanding performance can be continued!"

Director Zhang was happy. Without Wayne, who would watch this game?

During this period, NBA jerseys were still loose-fitting.

With the tight-fitting jerseys in the future, it feels like every player can fill up the jersey.

But now this jersey makes Wayne look even thinner.

Cavaliers coach Paul Silas saw Wayne playing and immediately told Gooden: "Don't let him start shooting easily."

Just like that, without any other special arrangements.

Silas certainly knows that Wayne is the MOP of the Final Four, and he also knows that he performed well in the summer league and preseason.

But now, what he mainly has to think about is how to clamp down on Artest and how to open up the Pacers' solid defense.

Containing Wayne is not that high of a priority.

After Wayne came on the court, he took a deep breath and adjusted himself.

Although it is his first time playing in an official NBA game, Wayne feels he is quite adaptable.

After all, when playing in the NCAA, the lineup was no smaller than this.

The game resumes and the Pacers attack.

Now that O'Sullivan is gone, Drew Gooden finally breathes a sigh of relief.

As for this rookie, he is only the 12th overall pick. No matter how powerful you are, you won't lose your face, right?

Sure enough, the Pacers quickly handed the ball to Artest in this attack. Without O'Brien, Artest is undoubtedly the team's first choice.

James lowered his center of gravity, frowned, and prepared to continue fighting with Artest. But Artest did not break through directly, but waved to Wayne to set up a screen for him.

Wayne skillfully ran to Artest's side. Wayne had practiced this pick-and-roll tactic countless times in the past month.

After Wayne's "wall" was set up, Artest immediately accelerated!

You Zhan wanted to bypass Wayne and pursue Artest, but Wayne secretly squeezed You Zhan hard, slowing down his pursuit.

This is actually an illegal cover.

But as long as the referee can't see it, it's not illegal!

"Wardfa!" Young Zhan glanced at Wayne in surprise. This guy has just played his first game and he already knows these "ultimate secrets"?

Wayne put on a nonchalant expression, as if he had done nothing just now.

While whistling, he retreated outside the three-point line to help Artest open up space.

Wayne also wants to learn well, but he has no choice. Among these teammates, he can learn nothing but bad ones!

One moment, Artest will teach an elbow strike, and the next moment, O'Neill will teach an illegal screen. Can you blame Wayne?

James failed to catch up with Artest immediately because of Wayne's "nonchalant" squeeze.

As a result, Drew Gooden had to switch to Artest.

Gooden was heartbroken.

He also said that he could relax for a while after Xiao Ou came off the court, but now he faced Artest again.

Don't you want to let people take a breath? Where's my rookie?

Bring me my rookie!

Gooden's defensive ability can only be regarded as average. Artest directly carried Gooden and rushed in.

And because of the changes in HC rules this season, Gooden did not dare to attack Artest. He waited until Artest had entered the three-second zone before he dared to help him with his hands.

But it was too late, and in the end Gooden could only watch as Artest slid past him at a faster pace.

The most important thing was that he had already seen Artest showing his iron elbow, so he quickly got out of the way.

Just like that, Artest used the screen to successfully break through Gooden and complete the layup.

The Pacers continue to lead!

"Wayne's cover on this ball is crucial. He and Artest cooperate very well. Now as a new player, Wayne's ability to integrate into the team system is the most critical."

Coach Zhang was so hyped that Wayne didn't even touch the ball in that attack just now.

After Artest scored, everyone around him immediately stayed away.

Then the next second, this guy waved his elbows and beat his chest crazily, looking like he was going to kill someone to add to the fun.

Well, it seems that Harden was still too young at that time and dared to pass by Artest.

Seeing Artest score, Carlisle nodded approvingly.

The pick-and-roll between Wayne and Artest seems like it might be used as a regular scoring routine.

After the Cavaliers attacked, Big Z pulled Foster away from the mid-range, and Young James beat Artest!

The two people's click was a fierce muscle collision. This kind of breakthrough method will almost disappear in the future.

After a year of growth, You Zhan's body is now as good as Artest's.

Therefore, he successfully forced his way into the penalty area and prepared to continue attacking the frame.

Even if the ball doesn't go in, it can still cause damage and continue to shoot free throws like just now.

However, this time when Xiao Zhan broke into the three-second zone, he found that the basket was black.

Wayne, who is tall and long-armed, has already defended and returned to the basket!

"So fast." Mous curled his lips. When he just broke through, he clearly saw Wayne still beside Gooden.

In the blink of an eye, Wayne was at the basket.

In the dual defense of Wayne and Artest, it is difficult for even the chosen one to force a score.

So, Mous glanced at Gooden, who was freed by Wayne, and made a temporary decision to pass the ball out.

Gooden doesn't like to shoot three-pointers. To be precise, there are not many power forwards who like or are allowed to shoot three-pointers.

Therefore, he stands one step inside the three-point line.

After receiving the basketball, Gooden decisively chose to take action.

It’s finally time to work!

When you are with a big boss, you don't often get this kind of opportunity, so you must seize it.

But Gooden was just about to shoot when he found the No. 99 rookie appearing in front of him again.

Wayne's defense was so fast that he could quickly retreat after covering the inside, which once defeated James and Gooden.

Gooden is not the kind of player who can assist his teammates in the air, and now he only has two options.

Either force a pass and turn it over, or force a shot and try your luck.

Gooden naturally chose the latter.

But Wayne's defensive height was too scary. Under his interference, Gooden was not only unable to aim, but also unable to control his shooting hand.

The basketball flew directly towards the basket, drew a beautiful arc and fell directly out of bounds.

"Wayne defended Gooden against all odds. His advantage in height is something that not everyone can challenge."

Gooden saw the basketball fall directly out of bounds. He was stunned for a second, then frowned and moved his shoulders, pretending that an old injury recurred and he failed to shoot well.

"Oops, my shoulder hurts a little."

However, his shoulder was not injured at all, and Cleveland fans knew that.

This is called being afraid that you are not embarrassed enough, so you have to add some ingredients to make yourself even more embarrassed.

The speed shown by Wayne in assisting defense made Paul Silas very worried.

That rookie really took over O'Neal's position as a helper and monster perfectly.

This is something that Harrington couldn't do last season.

In fact, if Gooden had shot from outside the three-point line just now, Wayne might not be able to catch up.

But there was no way, he just had to shoot two points in one step inside the three-point line, and Wayne could just interfere.

The Cavaliers originally wanted to take advantage of O'Neal's time off the court to take the lead, but instead they fell into a hard battle.

While Gooden was still fooling the fans with his Oscar-level performance, Wayne had already passed half court and cooperated with Artest again.

This time Artest's breakthrough attracted Gooden and James, and Artest followed James' example and passed the ball to Wayne.

Wayne held the ball with both hands outside the three-point line, and Gooden immediately ran back in panic.

Everyone knows that he can't let go of this rookie!

Wayne's three-point shooting percentage was already very high in the preseason, which shows that the NBA's three-point line is not a problem for him at all.

Of course, Gooden didn't stupidly jump up to interfere with Wayne, he just raised his arms high.

In this way, Wayne will have a chance to make amends even if he wants to surprise Gooden.

But Wayne neither broke out nor shot. Instead, he pushed hard with one hand and passed the ball to Jackson who cut into the penalty area!

The cooperation between Wayne and Artest attracted the defensive attention of all Cavaliers players.

So when Wayne's pass penetrated the Cavaliers' entire defense, they discovered that Jackson had cut in without saying a word.

Big Z saw Jackson receiving the ball facing an empty basket and hurried to the basket.

But it's not an exaggeration to say that Big Z's pace is one of the slowest players in the NBA.

"Good ball, very smart pass! As soon as Jackson moved, the ball came to Wayne's side. Hey, this is how the ball should be played!"

Director Zhang was relieved. At first, he was worried that Wayne's debut would be as embarrassing as Yao Ming's, but it is obvious that Wayne and the Pacers have gotten along well.

Although he has yet to score a point, Wayne has already caused a lot of trouble for the Cavaliers.

Wayne can make a difference on both ends of the floor.

With the assistance of Wayne, the powerful Pacers completely suppressed the Cavaliers led by You Zhan. Wayne, the sixth man, also bought time for Xiao Ao to save his anger.

At the end of the first quarter, O'Brien, who was full of energy, came back and directly blasted the Cavaliers inside.

O'Neal Jr.'s inside skills are quite solid, and he can sneak away a lot with small hooks from behind.

After the first quarter, the Pacers led the Cavaliers by 8 points.

Wayne scored 2 points on 1-of-1 shooting, but had 2 assists and several wonderful defenses.

It's just that I didn't get a block. It's really not easy to block these guys in the NBA.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Artest and Young Zhan, who had played the entire quarter, both took a break.

What Paul Silas didn't expect was that Wayne actually replaced Artest as the third player!

Because James plays about 40 minutes in every game for the Cavaliers, the substitute third position generally has little presence.

Robert Traylor is such a player with no sense of existence.

As the No. 6 rookie in 1998, he was forgotten almost as soon as he entered the league.

Traylor looks fatter than James, and his excessive weight makes him extremely slow and in poor physical condition.

The most terrible thing is that his heart has never been very healthy.

For this reason, he changed four teams in seven years of his career.

Paul Silas really didn't expect Carlisle to play this trick. If Traylor was allowed to face Wayne, wouldn't it be a gift?

It was indeed a gift. As soon as the second quarter started, Wayne broke through Traylor with the ball outside the three-point line, and then went straight into the penalty area and caused the Cavaliers to foul.

Traylor was indeed too slow, which made his strong body useless.

"Xiao Wei's impact is very fierce. We saw him bravely enter the penalty area more than once during the preseason!"

It's really fierce. With a "man of steel", is it possible to still avoid being attacked?

Wayne was never afraid of running into the crowd with the ball.

Wayne made two free throws, extending the advantage to double digits!

Seeing that Traylor, who was 2.03 meters tall, could not reach Wayne at all, Silas was confused.

Letting Wayne play the third position is not bullying!

Traylor then planned to use his body weight to crush Wayne to regain face.

But this guy’s low-level skills are also very rough!

He can impress people with his light, but he has no means of ending it after defeating someone.

This is why Bird insisted on letting Wayne practice low-post attacks. If you don't have good low-post skills, even if you have an advantage in weight or height, it will be in vain.

In the end, Traylor could only roughly force a layup under the basket, and then Wayne got his first block in the NBA.

"It was shot directly to the floor, haha, this is Wayne's height advantage! Small people have no chance in front of Wayne!"

Wayne's shot blocking gives people one feeling - tough!

This risk directly caused people to ignore how he was run over by Traylor just now.

"A'Jan, A'Jan! Oh no, no! They're cheating. They actually sent No. 99 to the third position!" Silas became anxious and called LeBron by his name.

Right now, only James can handle Wayne.

Right now, only James can handle the Pacers!

Youzhan, who had just taken a breath, shook his head. Is it so difficult for me to rest peacefully for two minutes?

This bench was not even warmed up, yet it was blown up by others?

"You go on the field to replace Traylor and open up Shantuwei!" Silas solemnly patted Ajan on the shoulder.

Then, James walked to the technical table and waited for the dead ball.

After several rounds of play, there was no dead ball situation.

In the past few rounds, Wayne pulled twice on Traylor's head, both hits.

I just throw myself in front of you, what can you do to me?

Traylor is already autistic, so he wouldn’t bully a senior like this!

Finally, in an attack, the Cavaliers caused a foul on the Pacers.

When a dead ball opportunity appeared, James quickly stood up and took off his training clothes, preparing to go on the court to put out the fire.

"Wayne, just let me get to know you!" Ajan thought in his heart.

As a result, a familiar figure appeared next to him.

Seeing that James was preparing to play again, Carlisle immediately asked Artest to play again.

Wayne has completed his task. He successfully allowed Artest to rest peacefully while helping the team maintain, no, expand its advantage!

Artest looked at James with a fierce look on his face, as if telling him: "Keep going!"

Mousse wanted to go on the court and torture him, but Carlisle gave him a tough meal.

"Wayne left the game and was replaced by Artest. It was only a few possessions into the second quarter, and Wayne had already scored 6 points. Wayne's role on the Pacers now is called Sixth Man.

What does sixth man mean? It’s the sixth man, a sharp knife on the bench! You see, as soon as he plays, he will definitely play the role of a main player. "

In the CCTV studio, Zhang’s small English class started.

When Wayne came off the court to high-five Artest, he looked at a confused Mousse.

Youzhan was messy in the wind. I came, but you left cruelly, leaving me a villain with an iron elbow.

Wayne came off the court feeling comfortable and content.

This hit-and-run, wretched development, is simply enjoyable!

And because his growth value is calculated based on the overall strength of the opposing team, it doesn't matter whether he scores directly on the opponent's strongest player.

Only in one-on-one battles, the growth points are calculated based on the opponent's personal strength.

Due to the presence of You Zhan, the system assesses that the overall strength of the Cavaliers is quite strong.

This is equivalent to trying to pick out James' wool on Traylor!

Is there a better deal than this?

Wayne left the game with great numbers, then sat back and watched Young James continue to suffer.

Alas, the life of the Sixth Man is so simple and unpretentious.

And boring.

Continuing to ask for monthly votes, Lao Ge knelt down in front of the big guys.
