When the Pacers were on an 8-game winning streak, basketball fans all over the world were laughing about the famous scene where Wayne stepped over Kobe.

At the Indian Wells Tennis Open, Sharapova also made it all the way and finally reached the semi-finals.

Although in the semi-finals, she lost to the American champion Lyndsey Davenport, currently ranked number one in the world.

But this open performance still allowed Sharapova to successfully rank third in the WTA world rankings!

If everything goes well in the competition after this year, it will not be impossible for her to reach the top of the world.

At that time, she will become one of the youngest world number one in WTA history.

After the game, in an interview with reporters, this pretty girl, who was only a month away from turning 18, talked about this Open.

"It's a pity that I failed to reach the final, but I feel that my condition is still very good. I look forward to going further in the next Miami Open."

"Maria, we have all noticed that there seems to be something written on the grips of the rackets you used in this competition. Can you tell us what it is?"

"Is this it?" Sharapova picked up the racket and smiled in front of the camera. "I can't say, I just want to thank this person for the courage and good luck he has brought to me."

Then, countless male fans of Sharapova shed sad tears.

Because in the interview, she clearly said that she was grateful to "him"!

This, this, this...who is this!?

It actually made her blush slightly in front of the camera.

Oh my god, what kind of bastard stole her heart like this!

She is only 17 years old!

"Ah, ah, ah!" Wayne sneezed twice in succession. Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?

Eh? Where did you just go?

Oh oh, it’s time to add more points. It’s time to add more points.

The game reached the end of March, and Wayne had accumulated a lot of growth points. Although he was still far from being upgraded, it was enough to digest the last 10 opportunities to add points.

This can be considered the last wave of upgrades before the playoffs.

No, the last wave of upgrades in the playoffs should be the time to complete the 55-win mission.

Currently, the Pacers have won 46 wins and are only 9 games away from 55 wins!

Next, the Pacers have a total of 18 games to play. As long as nothing happens, the Pacers can achieve a 50% winning rate, and 55 wins will definitely be enough!

A 50% winning rate, isn’t that easy for the current Pacers?

Even if the opponent has a Gangtai, the winning rate can be guaranteed to be over 50%!

Therefore, in this task, Wayne has basically completed his goal ahead of schedule and is waiting for the day when he reaches 55 wins.

Directly upgrade a badge to the purple level, wow, it’s very enjoyable just thinking about it!

Is it better to upgrade "Offensive Kaleidoscope"? Or is it better to upgrade something else?

Ignore it for now, let’s add the attribute points!

This time when he opened the attribute interface, Wayne first added 5 points of physical fitness.

After entering the NBA and playing for almost a season, Wayne increasingly feels that this "sustainability" is indeed very important.

A really tough guy, he really wants gold to last forever!

The Pacers have killed so many heroes this season with their iron-blooded defense. How painful it is for Yao Ming every time he beats the Pacers.

Wayne didn't want to follow in their footsteps.

Although in the regular season, Wayne has not encountered physical exhaustion yet.

But in the next playoffs, Wayne knows that he will definitely not have it easy.

Stronger confrontations and more targeted arrangements will speed up the consumption of physical strength.

So Wayne increased his physical fitness to 80.

Although this still doesn't make Wayne a physical monster like Kobe, he should still be able to endure it.

There were still 5 opportunities to add points, and Wayne gave all of them lateral movement speed, increasing it from 70 to 75.

When facing top defenders such as Wade and Kobe Bryant, Wayne found that his defense speed was still a bit slow.

Although there are not many people in the league who can guard against their breakthrough, this is no excuse to give up.

As a man who suppressed the class of 2003, how can he lower his requirements for himself?

Besides, there are still many fast guards in the league. Not only Wade and others, Parker, Ginobili, etc. are all among the best fast men.

If the lateral movement speed is not added up, the result will be like being dragged out for military training every three days like the teacher in the future.

After using up 10 opportunities to add points, it will be difficult for Wayne's attributes to be significantly improved for a period of time.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as Artest’s bond reward and 55 win reward can be unlocked, his strength can be improved even without adding attributes.

"Dong dong dong." Wayne had just finished adding the dots when there was a knock on the hotel room door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Ron."

Wayne opened the door and found Artest walking in with a bitter look on his face.

"What's wrong? Are you being bullied again?" Wayne shook his head speechlessly, aren't you a corn tyrant?

"I lost, I lost, I lost everything. Five thousand dollars, I lost everything." Tai sat in the room and muttered something incomprehensible.

It seems that he must have lost completely again playing cards with Miller and the others.

"Okay, be good. After the away game in New Jersey, I'll invite you to go racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The next track day is coming soon."

"Really? Don't you have a driver's license?"

"I invite you to go, but I won't open it." Why don't you pay some money to coax the giant baby?

If Artest is not made happy, how can he bear the damage?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, there is such a good thing. By the way, did you see the sports news today?"

"No, there's nothing interesting to see. Everywhere I look, it's just me stepping over Kobe."

"Fuck me..." Artest really didn't expect that you could even fake this for me!

You're caught off guard, brother!

"Seriously, do you watch sports news?"

"I didn't look, what's wrong? If you have something to say, please tell me."

"Hey, that tennis girl was talking about you on TV, right?"

"Did you mean Maria? Did she say something on TV?" Wayne became curious now.

"Hey, you can go and see for yourself. There are some things that you need to pursue, my good brother. I won't talk about it anymore and go back to the room to sleep. In tomorrow's game, we need to continue to suppress the Nets.

By the way, don’t forget about the track day.”

After saying that, Artest left Wayne's room.

How does Wayne feel... This guy is actually here to sell sympathy and track day tickets!

Ma Dan was tricked again.

Artest secretly rejoiced after leaving the house and tricked Wayne again!

Tai is still the old Yin.

But to be honest, Artest really enjoyed the process of communicating with Wayne.

He doesn't have a good impression of anyone on the Pacers, except Wayne.

In the past, Artest only regarded Wayne as a rookie, but now, he really regards him as a friend.

Therefore, as a rookie, Wayne's treatment was actually very good. He was just deprived of tickets for the track day.

Little did they know that at this time, Teacher Tony, who was playing an away game in New Orleans, was on his way to buy midnight snacks for his teammates.

It was another fulfilling and busy day for him.

After wiping his sweat, Tony was just glad that his rookie season was almost coming to an end.

※※※

On March 20, in the away game against the Nets, Carter continued his outstanding performance, shooting 13 of 21 from the field and scoring 33 points with a super high shooting rate of 61.0%!

Being able to play with such efficiency under the Pacers' defense shows how powerful Carter's performance is.

Again, the four shooting guards are so terrifying!

Wayne: Really? Didn’t Kobe get jumped by me?

The problem for the Nets now is...without Richard Jefferson, Carter is the only one in the Nets who can score.

Although Kidd scored 16 points today, his shooting percentage was only 40%, which was unable to solve the Nets' scoring problem at all.
To be continued...
