174: Webb is such a giant (4K(2/2)

The departure of Iguodala means that all reporters' firepower is aimed at Iverson alone.

Originally, Iverson and Webber could be able to disperse each other's firepower together.

This replaced Webb with Iguodala, and Iguodala was a complete loser.

He sat down on the stage and started watching Iverson perform.

Don't worry, no reporter will waste their precious opportunity to ask questions on the current Iguodala.

Iverson just experienced an embarrassing night.

But Weber did not attend the press conference, and he could not escape the fate of being interviewed by many media the next day.

"Chris Webber's disastrous defeat helped Wayne become a star player!"

"The first-year rookie scored 36 points in his first playoff game! Is the future here?"

Of course, the headlines in American newspapers are nothing new. If you really want to read the news, you have to look at China.

"Wayne defeated the former No. 1 player in the Western Conference!"

This prefix is ​​used very cleverly and needs to be tested.

"A supernova is born, Wayne breaks a new NBA playoff record! Many playoff statistics have far surpassed James!"

Nonsense, James has never even played in the playoffs. Wayne can surpass James even if he only scores two points.

"Wayne defeated the scoring champion Iverson! The Pacers have locked up the Eastern Conference championship?"

Well, there is nothing wrong with winning the division championship with one win, the championship with two wins, and building a dynasty with three wins!

After all, Mosaic in the first round is still a strong contender for the championship every year.

In short, Wayne has been blown away in China.

The most panicked people at this time are undoubtedly the Korean media. How will they compete in this summer’s Asian Championships?

Does anyone really think that Ha Seung-jin can punch Yao Ming and kick Wayne?

When the secret is revealed, I don’t know how to smooth things over.

As for Weber, he dared not read any news programs or newspapers at all.

When I went to training the next day, everyone was silent.

However, during the media opening period, Weber still had to face his nightmare.

"Chris, yesterday Wei scored 36 points on your head, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record. Do you think he can still perform like this in the next game? How will you adjust?"

The media in Indianapolis are really being polite. If Weber were in New York, the question would definitely be: "Do you think you can limit Wayne's score to less than 40 in the next game?"

Weber looked at the reporter and sighed.

How should I put it? It is impossible to escape for a lifetime.

Now that you have burned yourself to illuminate others, let’s burn a little more thoroughly.

"Way is one of the strongest rookies I have ever seen. How many points did Tim Duncan score in his first playoff game? 31 or 32, maybe.

As for Wayne, he scored 36 points... 16 points in a single quarter. Even if an All-Star player performed such a performance, it was extremely exaggerated.

I think Wayne may become a very good player in the future, maybe a historical level player.

I have nothing else to say. The game will continue and I must try my best.

In this league, it is always very difficult for veterans with scars to survive."

What Weber said brought tears of bitterness.

There's always someone to stand on the shoulders of giants, so...why can't I be that giant?

Two days later, in the second game of the series in Indianapolis, Weber was not only weak defensively, but also weak on the offensive end.

In the slow-motion defense of Wayne's left and right elbows, Webb made only 7 of 18 shots from the field. As an inside man, his shooting rate was less than 40%.

One is willing to be a giant, and the other is really stepping on it.

But...Webber is not the most embarrassed today, because Iverson's shooting percentage is lower than Webber!

True. Sacrifice yourself and illuminate others.

Iverson took 24 shots today and only hit 8 of them, forcing a tribute to Kobe.

In the end, he only scored 19 points.

In front of Iverson, Webber's shooting percentage is not worth mentioning at all.

For the Pacers, Wayne made 9 of 13 shots and scored 23 points with a super high shooting rate of 69.2%.

Don't ask why there were only 23 points, because the Pacers clocked out in the third quarter.

100 to 84, the Pacers slaughtered the 76ers by 16 points and headed to Philadelphia with a 2-0 total score.

In the third game in Philadelphia, Iverson returned home and scored a super double-double with 37 points and 15 assists.

Even if he can't win this series, Iverson still wants to win a victory at home.

But... Weber continued to paddle, hitting 7 of 19. His shooting rate was very stable, almost the same as the previous game.

It seems that Weber is planning to be a good person and send Buddha to the West.

This awareness of being a background board deserves praise!

In this way, the 76ers lost the third game.

Although the score was very close, 99 to 91, it was considered the 76ers' best performance.

But the total score of 3-0 was still equivalent to a death sentence for 76 people in advance.

In the fourth game, Webber intensified his efforts and made only 4 of 16 shots!

With the lowest shooting rate of 25% in the whole game, he scored a series low of 11 points!

Attack on Titan is so terrifying!

Carlisle was more pleased with Wayne's defensive performance than his scoring.

This guy is really defensive. No matter how low your shooting percentage is, he won't let go.

Just like that, a clean 4-0, the Pacers swept the 76ers.

Wayne also completely defeated Weber!

"For Chris Webber, this may be the worst series in his career except for the 1998-99 season."

The fans were stunned when they heard this.

Co-writing This is not Weber's worst performance! What can be worse than this?

That's right, Webber's encounter with Malone in the 1998-99 season was even worse than his encounter with Wayne this year...

After all, Malone's elbow was more severe than Wayne's.

There is indeed a reason why Weber's historical status is not high.

After this series, Wayne averaged an exaggerated 27 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.2 blocks per game, making Okafor look stupid.

It is said that the playoffs are a magic mirror. Many regular season superstars and rookies are prone to stretch their hips during the playoffs.

But damn, Wayne played in the playoffs and scored 10 points more than he did in the regular season!

Okafor simply couldn't imagine what kind of monster he was competing with.

Of course, Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace is quite disdainful of Wayne's achievements.

"In an undefended game, Ben can still score 20 or 30 points." Wallace said with a smile when being interviewed by reporters.

Big Ben: Brother, what do you mean by mocking Wayne and praising me? About scoring... I really don’t understand!

Rasheed's words aroused strong dissatisfaction among 76ers fans.

What the hell are you doing, killing both of them at once?

But no matter how dissatisfied the 76ers fans are, they have no chance to prove it.

The fact is that they are already out. The Pistons are only one game away from sweeping the Wizards and meeting the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals!

In this regard, Wayne's response was also very contemptuous: "I only care about the results of the Best Sixth Man award now, unlike some players who have no chance to win any awards."
