105: The logically rigorous Artest formula(2/2)
This time Maggette took the ball and rushed inside, ready for a collision.
That's right, despite Maggette's exaggerated muscles, he is actually one of the earliest "Kings of Ten Thousand Porcelains" in the league.
He is very good at drawing fouls.
After the HC rules changed this year, Maggette went further and further on the road to failure.
As a result, Artest did not stop Maggette too much and did not give him a chance to display his performance talents.
Maggette was halfway through, but Artest suddenly got out of the way!
Behind Artest is Wayne, who is already waiting inside.
What do you mean there is someone behind you? Let me show you how powerful my little brother is.
"Pah!" Maggette wanted to give it away so persistently that Wayne couldn't refuse.
Second risk in a row, effortless.
Then, there was another shouting on the court: "Wayne, come on, come on, I'm empty, I'm empty!"
At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers had a 7-point lead.
Although Brand scored 6 points in the paint, his efficiency was very average, with a shooting rate of less than 45%.
Faced with an opponent who was taller than him, had a longer wingspan, and was equally agile, Brand really struggled to play.
His advantages were all offset by Wayne.
Apart from weight, Brand could not find any breakthrough.
After the first quarter, Wayne had 4 assists and 2 blocks.
Although he only scored 2 points, his performance was still worthy of his starting position.
After the start of the second quarter, Brand began to be wary of Artest, who kept breaking through.
Then, Wayne seized the opportunity and started swiping.
In the second quarter, Wayne made 3 of 5 three-pointers, making Brand lose his temper.
In just halftime, Wayne scored 13 points, and the Pacers also led by 14 points.
Looking at the score on the big screen, Wayne felt a little sad.
If this continues, I won’t be able to use garbage time on my own.
Brand, please work hard!
Where has the momentum of the No. 1 pick gone?
It’s hard to shoot a three-pointer like this, you can’t just kill me like this!
At this time in Detroit, Rashid, who had just returned home, turned on the TV and tuned to T.N.T., only to find that an advertisement was already playing.
He thought the game between the Clippers and Pacers was over, but at this time, the players' data was scrolling at the bottom of the screen.
Seeing that Wayne scored 13 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, Rashid said that he was in danger.
This almost turned over!
He actually scored 13 points over Brand. It seems that Wayne really has something.
Fortunately, Wayne's score was just stuck at 13 points.
Next, watch how I mock that boy!
At this point, the commercial ends and the game screen reappears on the TV.
Rashid took a look and realized that the game was not over yet. He asked me how much time was left.
If there were only one or two minutes left, Wayne would have no chance to score 15 points.
Then, Rashid became confused.
The game is not a matter of one or two minutes left, but two full quarters left!
The second half just started and Wayne scored 13 points!
"Brand, you were not like this the last time you guarded me." Rashid was dumbfounded.
Sure enough, not everyone in this world is like Bird and can pretend to be so perfect.
Rashid found the wrong person.
In the end, Wayne and Artest still couldn't escape the fate of taking an early break.
Because after three quarters, the Pacers had a 23-point lead.
In just three quarters, Wayne scored 19 points and 10 assists, scoring a double-double for the first time in his career!
The main reason for the high score was that Wayne shot very smoothly from three-point range today. Following the last game of 1-for-4, Wayne rebounded this time and shot 5-for-8 from the field.
In this era, it is simply bizarre to have a fourth position shoot eight three-pointers from outside the three-point line.
But it was this weird style of play that caused Brand's defense to collapse.
Brand can use his wingspan to block shots in the three-second zone, and he can even block the center with no problem.
But if you ask him to chase and defend the opponent from a high position, it is really difficult.
Moreover, throughout the third quarter, all of Wayne's points came from outside the three-point line, not even entering the three-second zone.
All the breakthrough matters are left to Artest.
Of Wayne's 19 points in the game, 15 came from beyond the three-point line.
In addition, he also sent 10 assists...Wayne really doesn't regard himself as an insider.
Carlisle couldn't help but applaud Wayne's ability to execute tactics, while Wayne... happily counted the growth points gained today.
Three-pointers and assists, these are the most valuable data obtained today!
It's a pity that because the Clippers' comprehensive strength has been strengthened, the difficulty bonus is not high.
But it doesn't matter, the water flows slowly.
Please give me a try on this tactic of shooting from outside the three-point line in the future!
Finally, the Pacers easily defeated the Clippers, who were last in the Western Conference last season, on the road.
Brand scored a huge double-double with 19 points and 15 rebounds, but it was useless.
Most of his rebounds came in garbage time.
Now Wayne can understand why Brand is so invisible.
Brand's statistics may seem beautiful, but they have little impact on the outcome of the game.
At the end of the game, Artest stood proudly in front of the camera.
The reporter originally didn't want to look for him, but Artest took the initiative to come to the door and couldn't even hide...
This guy has long been eager to say a few words to those guys from the Pistons.
"I don't even know what to say," Artest's opening remarks gave reporters the urge to slap someone.
I don’t know what to say, why are you here to steal the spotlight?
"In the last game, the Pistons and Clippers actually played until the last moment to decide the winner. And we won a whole quarter earlier than the Pistons! This shows that our strength is far superior to the defending champion!"
"Rashid was even more funny. He said that even if Wayne exploded, he would not be able to score more than 15 points. As a result, Wayne scored 19 points in the third quarter.
By the way, in the last game Rasheed faced the Clippers, he only scored 18 points. This shows that Wayne's strength is far superior to Rasheed."
This statement is well-founded and logical, making it impossible to refute.
As soon as Artest's formula came out, he happily humiliated the Pistons.
On the Piston side, the fists were really clenched.
On the 19th, no one should run away, especially the loudest one, No. 91!
Clippers: Two big brothers, do you still think I exist? The meaning of my existence is to build momentum for you.
Indeed, after the Pistons and Pacers both defeated the Clippers, the level of hatred between the two sides skyrocketed.
Wayne has always wanted to prevent the Palace of Auburn Hills incident from happening, but...
Chapter completed!
