Gary Payton joins the Pacers, which is really big news.

Although Payton is 36 years old, he has passed his peak period.

However, this still cannot change the fact that he was one of the best point guards of the 90s.

Two best first teams in the 1990s, seven best first teams in the best defensive, one best defensive player, three top five MVP rankings, and one finals experience against Jordan.

And that year's finals once made even the "god" unable to start a massacre.

Although Michael [Doudou] Jordan still scored 27.3 points in the 1996 finals, his shooting percentage was limited to 41%.

This is enough to show Payton's ability.

Although such a "big figure" has reached the end of his career, he is still famous.

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Although you can't expect Payton to play in the top five MVP levels in the Pacers, it's almost a breeze to make him better than Anthony Johnson.

Payton's defensive ability is definitely not as good as back then, but he is tall and has a good sense of arms and long, which will undoubtedly make the Pacers' No. 1 position no longer so fragile.

Payton's position and fast break organization are excellent. With him, the Pacers' No. 1 position is no longer a "dribble guard".

People say that John Stockton was the best point guard of that era.

But in fact, Stockton is a relatively "school-oriented" player.

His organizational ability may be 100 points, but his ability in other aspects is slightly weaker.

Payton may only have 80 points in his organizational ability, but he also has 80 points in his other ability.

He was the most versatile point guard in the 1990s, no one.

So even though he gets old, Payton still has a lot of things to do.

Therefore, when Payton decided to settle in the cornfields in Indiana, it caused quite a stir.

Now, the Pacers' No. 1 position has become a strong point, but at least it is no longer a weak point.

Now, in China, many fans can’t help but shout a slogan: “In the City Championship!”

Indeed, after experiencing the pain of the suspension, the Pacers took the second defeat of the defending champion as the node, as if they were about to start exerting their strength.

The villain four-player + Payton is quite meaningful to build up the country again.

When Wayne went to training early in the morning, he originally planned to hear what everyone's reaction to this contract.

Although Payton has signed a contract with the Pacers, it is estimated that it will take a few days to report.

As a result, Wayne pushed open the door of the locker room and found that the guy who had once squirted about trash with him was already sitting in the locker room.

As soon as he saw Wayne, Payton put on that dicky expression again.

"Yo, come so late? Did you go on a date with the girl last night?" Payton was not restrained, and the way he talked to Wayne was like staying with the Pacers for several years.

"That's right? A beautiful tennis girl was waiting for him in the player passage last night." Shuangtai hurried out to agree, singing with Payton, as if she had found a new backer.

"Tsk, little devil is little devil. Don't be restricted by the temptation in front of you, boy." After saying that, Payton continued to change his clothes and didn't say much.

Wayne glanced at Payton and said nothing.

Then after sitting next to Atei, Wayne hugged him.

"You are very excited today Ron. I won't let you go during the battle training later."

"Brother Wei, you can't hear that I was just joking with you. You also know that the humorous bacteria in this person's body have nowhere to be placed." Shuangtai hurriedly smiled.

"Are you really kidding?"

"Then there is still fake!"

"Well, then, I'll try to be as light as possible later."

Atai breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he had gradually lost the "big senior" attitude when Wayne first joined the team.

In the first training session after the Christmas game, Gary Payton appeared on the court wearing his No. 20 training suit.

I have to say that the Pacers' movements are really fast.

God knows if Bird had someone make Payton's jersey and training suit in advance.

Although Payton looked so dicky in the locker room just now, Payton did not put on airs at all during training.

He will do whatever the young player does. Although it was the first day to report, there was neither special treatment nor a complaint.

If you want to say trash from Payton, it is really annoying.

But this guy's professional attitude is still OK. His behavior of participating in training on the first day also won him respect from most of his new teammates.

Especially Anthony Johnson.

Most players will feel a little disgusted when they see their positions being snatched away by new players.

But Johnson was very happy.

He finally didn't have to fight!

Come on, Payton, you are my savior.

If you don’t come, the media in Madanyin City will take me to meet every day!

The ball is for you, you will be lucky!

In the afternoon, Carlisle also directly allowed Payton to enter a 5-on-5 confrontation training and started to work with the team directly.

I have to say that changing teams in the middle of the season is a test of a player's ability to adapt to a player.

If it's a summer transfer, there is still time for pre-season training camp to get along with the new team.

However, mid-term transfers must be basically able to plug and play.

Fortunately, Payton's versatility allows him to easily adapt to various styles.

At Pacers, you should focus on defense? No problem.

To seize the opportunity of a first pass and fast attack? It can be done.

Position war card dealing organization? I can do it too.

Overall, Payton's condition and fit are indeed very good.

But it's

Payton's arrival made the training ground extremely noisy.

He and Wayne had some strange "chemical reaction".

At this time, Payton controlled the ball to the top of the three-point line. Facing Johnson, he used O's cover to break into the penalty area.

Wayne immediately changed defense to Payton. Payton's speed is no longer fast now, so it is no difficulty for Wayne to keep up.

As a result, Payton suddenly made a move with a small traveling shot.

Wayne had no time to react, and the ball had a very high arc, and finally crossed his fingertips.

Don't say, this ball is really like the move that cannon often uses. However, Payton is more perfect than the college cannon now.

"brush."

Basketball entered the net, and Payton made an attack.

So the noise began again.

"It's so easy, too easy, do you boy understand what defense means? Or do you only bully some garbage players?" After Payton scored the goal, he immediately began to talk to Wayne, even though they had become teammates at this time.

"You can score a goal in this way. To be honest, I'm afraid of breaking your old guy's ribs, otherwise you should go to the bottom line to pick up the ball."

Wayne is not to be outdone and fights with Payton.

And this scene has appeared countless times today.

It's lively, really lively.

"Is it really okay for them to do this?" Mike Brown was a little worried. Shuangtai and Wayne had never squirted so fiercely during training.

But Carlisle just smiled: "It's okay, look at them, how loving they are."

"God is so loveful" Mike Brown was speechless. He didn't know whether Payton's arrival would make the locker room split or whether it could really put the puzzle together.

In this way, today's training ended in a noisy situation.

Shuangtai has counted it, and the "score" between Payton and Wayne for squirting trash is 13 to 10, and Wayne is slightly inferior.

But no matter what Payton said, Wayne did not respond.

On the contrary, Wayne squirted Payton several times and gritted his teeth.

Of course, fans can't see these pictures.

Wayne used to have a nickname in college called "Russia Heavy Rainman", so fans were fantasizing that Payton could play the same cooperation with Wayne as he and Kemp. The picture is as follows:

Payton threw it out as if he was understatement, and Wayne suddenly jumped out and overwhelmed the heroes and poured the ball into the box. Then the two of them slapped their high-highlights and sat and watched each other tremble.

As we all know, Wayne is a Brutal Power Forward, so this kind of picture is very likely to appear.
