"Who is the most talented player on the Pacers? It's Wayne. Who is the most favored player by God? It's Jermaine. But who is the most practical player? It's me! I won't say anything harsh, no.

I will say useless things, but I will definitely do practical things.

So, shut up that guy who only dares to yell at the referee. When he gets to the court, he can't do anything."

Artai was so excited that he was asked to compose a golden sentence. I guess he has never been so full of ideas in his life.

You're blocking Butler's path.

Obviously, the gunpowder between the Pacers and Pistons has been brewing nine days in advance.

How did Wayne find out?

Because when Artest was dueling with him, he used his elbows more.

"boom!"

"Fuck." Wayne made a layup, but Artest elbowed him.

Although Artest intentionally reduced his strength, it still hurts, bastard!

"Hey, I'm sorry, I just suddenly had a sense of empathy." Artest smiled apologetically at Wayne.

"Really? Are you sure you don't want to pay attention?"

"Pay attention, pay attention, be sure to pay attention." Seeing that Wayne also showed his iron elbow, Artest immediately became submissive and lost the momentum he had during the interview in the morning.

After another round of one-on-one play, Wayne and Artest sat on the ground to rest.

Artest was drinking water and looking at the ceiling, as if thinking about something.

"Wei, if we play the Pistons on the 19th, it will definitely be a tough battle."

"Does that need to be said? They are the championship. They are eager to get more respect and will not lose easily."

"Well, it's not easy to beat the Pistons. I think we need to study countermeasures in advance now to make sure nothing goes wrong!" Artest turned to face Wayne, looking very motivated.

"This" seeing Artest suddenly being so serious, Wayne was not used to it.

"So, let's go to Coach Carlisle tomorrow to discuss it?" So Wayne suggested.

"What are you looking for him for?"

"Don't you want to study countermeasures?"

"You and I can study this countermeasure! This is what I think, if Rashid and you exchange insults, then I will find an opportunity to secretly fuck him. Then you must pretend to be weak.

This way I can go up and stand up for you.

Well, I've taken care of the strongest Rashid, and I'll leave the weakest to you! Don't worry, that Afro is so weak, you can defeat him in a few or two, really. If I don't think he's too weak, I'll

Got on by myself."

"What the hell do you call this a countermeasure?" Wayne was shocked. Artest's imagination can expand your thinking at any time.

And why would you leave the weakest book to me?

How did you manage to say that you are afraid of someone so fresh and refined? I almost believed it!

"What do you think? This way, we will definitely scare the people of Detroit!"

"Well, we all went to fight, what about the game?" Wayne was speechless. The condition for completing the task was to beat the Pistons.

"Oh, yes, there is still a game. It's so troublesome, why do we have to compete?" Artest kept shaking his head. It's really troublesome to have to play with a basketball in this fighting game!

In the end, Wayne and Artest naturally did not discuss anything serious.

The next day, the two were unable to continue their tactical meeting, but went with the team to Los Angeles to play an away game.

The Pacers still have several games to play before Auburn Hills.

This time when they come to Los Angeles, the Pacers don't want to meet the Lakers, but first play against the "Los Angeles second team" Clippers.

Although the Clippers' current record of 2 wins and 2 losses is not outstanding, this game is not easy for the Pacers because their leading scorer Ou is unable to play.

"For the Clippers, this is the best chance to defeat the Pacers and stop the losing streak. With Jermaine out, coach Carlisle will most likely let Wayne play!

In other words, Wayne will be directly exposed to the firepower of No. 1 pick Elton Brand today!"

"Wayne is an excellent sixth man, but we don't know yet whether he is ready to play. I hope his magic can continue in Los Angeles."

Ou's absence is bound to greatly reduce the Pacers' combat effectiveness. And you can't say it's a coincidence. Ou is suspended. The first opponent the Pacers encounter is the Clippers with No. 4 Brand as the core.

So everyone is worried about the fate of the Pacers.

The opponent of the Clippers actually has nothing to do with the Pacers.

But today, their status in the hearts of the Pacers players is somewhat special.

Because the Pistons just defeated the Clippers before. If the Pacers lose this time, wouldn't it mean that they are indirectly inferior to the Pistons?

No one wants to lose to the Pistons, not just Artest, but all the players who experienced last season's Eastern Conference finals have this idea.

Therefore, we must win this game against the Clippers!

With this emotion in mind, Wayne and his teammates began to warm up at Staples Center.

When Wayne was warming up, he kept looking at the short and stocky Brand on the opposite side. This game is not easy to handle.

At this time, Brand was not seriously injured, and his lethality in the fourth position was very terrifying.

Having just finished playing MVP and now having to play All-Star power forward, Wayne really felt that it was too difficult for him.

No wonder, Wallace told the media before the start of the game: "How many points Wayne scores is not critical at all. The Pacers don't care how many points Wayne scores. Because in front of Brand, even if Wayne explodes, he

I definitely won’t score more than 15 points.”

Rashid quite recognized Brand's strength. Today, he was going to sit back and watch how embarrassing Wayne was.

It's the fifth game, and it's time for someone to step up and educate this rookie.

After the warm-up, Wayne returned to the bench and listened to Carlisle make the final arrangements.

At this moment, Wayne felt someone tap his shoulder from behind.

"Don't make trouble Ron." Wayne said, squeezing the hand on his shoulder.

Why doesn't this feel right?

Looking back, Wayne realized it wasn't Artest.

"Hey, remember me?"

Sharapova smiled and waved to Wayne. Wayne had gone to watch her match. Today, Wayne happened to be in Los Angeles, so she returned the favor.
