This time the Pacers still chose to let Ou play alone inside, but LaFrentz, who originally needed to double-team immediately, hesitated.

Wayne's three-pointer just now was pretty good. If you let him go, he wouldn't be thanked again, right?

"Execute the plan, why are you dazed, River!"

At this time, Wayne heard a unique drake voice.

Rivers was dissatisfied with LaFrentz's defense.

Why do you care about a rookie? Guard the guy who is third in the MVP rankings!

Who among the serious rookies can kill the game?

LaFrentz had no choice but to quickly retreat to the penalty area and continue to double-team.

So, the Pacers repeated their old trick, and O'Neill once again gave the ball outside the three-point line.

"These Celtics really don't believe in evil!" Director Zhang quits the game commentary job. Who do you look down on?

But this time, Wayne didn't get an easy shot after receiving the ball. LaFrentz kept an eye on it and turned around and ran back to Wayne the moment O'Brien passed the ball.

Although he was running around a bit awkwardly, I have to say that his defense was flawless this time!

"Hey, I think you're at your wits end, little rookie." LaFrentz raised his arms high and thought to himself, at the same time Payton came over, ready to snatch the basketball from Wayne's hand.

It would be even more perfect if he could give Wayne an elbow at the moment of the steal.

However, Wayne didn't panic and make mistakes.

Faced with Payton, the 2nd overall pick in 1998 who was not easy to mess with, he calmly tossed the ball and gently lobbed the ball to O'Neal, who was still trying to find his position in the low post.

Wayne passed the ball just right, allowing O'Brien to catch it very comfortably.

"Wei lobbed the ball to the basket. The Pacers played very patiently. Wei and Jermaine's small-scale cooperation was impressive!"

Wayne's clear-thinking passing earned him praise from the on-site commentators.

If Yao Ming had seen this goal, he would have shed tears.

Chairman Yao: Tomatoes, why don’t I have a partner like this at the fourth position by my side? I can’t even catch the ball, I can’t even catch the ball!

When O'Brien received the basketball again at this time, the double-team around him had been completely broken by Wayne.

There is no doubt about Wayne's tactical deterrence.

Taking on Mark Blount in a one-on-one match was simply a bonus for O'Brien.

Pushing back hard, Xiao Ao opened up a little space for himself.

Then, he very flexibly took a turn-over jump shot and scored the ball steadily.

Wayne looked at Xiao O's attack from behind and felt a little envious.

How chic, how elegant, how handsome.

He is indeed the man who ranked third in the MVP rankings last season.

Otherwise... just go steal some of Xiao Ao's badges?

After O'Brien scored, he immediately pointed at Wayne to express his gratitude.

All the Pacers players applauded, but Artest on the side shook his head: "Don't think that you have a good relationship with Wayne. In the final analysis, his best brother is still me!"

Rivers was a little panicked now. Wayne's role is far more than just shooting three-pointers.

That No. 99 is like a defender, whether he is shooting or supporting. He and O'Neal, when paired together, complement each other perfectly.

It’s hard to do.

One round later, O'Brien continued to make trouble in the three-second zone. This time, he flexibly turned his back and broke through Blount, and scored with a one-handed dunk.

Without double-teaming, Xiao Ao can simply do whatever he wants in the three-second zone.

Exploded, exploded, the entire Celtics basket exploded.

Payton almost exploded because No. 99 really beeped too much!

"That's it, Jermaine, it's so easy to dunk. It's the devil's home field. We have the final say on their home court!"

When Wayne said these words, he never took his eyes off Payton.

That’s right, it’s you who is targeted!

Payton is really convinced, he scored a goal with O'Brien, but you pretended to do it all by yourself?

On the Pacers bench, Carlisle smiled like Jim Kelly.

The inside combination of Wayne and Xiao Ou is indeed very useful!

Wayne's instruction manual has been updated by Carlisle.

After Wayne and Artest continued the pick-and-roll, the Pacers also had one more killer move.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics trailed the Pacers by 8 points.

Among them, Pierce made only 1 of 4 shots. Artest really locked down the Green Keys' leading scorer.

If it weren't for Ricky Davis who really had a strong hand today and scored 9 points in a single quarter, Green Kai would probably have fallen behind by double digits in the first quarter.

For the Pacers, Wayne scored 3 points and 3 assists, and all 3 assists were dedicated to O'Brien.

O'Neal scored 11 points in a single quarter, beating the Celtics inside.

Although Wayne only scored one goal, he made the Celtics defense miserable.

His tactical role is far more obvious than the data seems.

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Wayne also followed the main players off the field and took a rest.

This means that in the second quarter of the game, Wayne will continue to play as the starting fourth position!

In the end, the 8-point difference was maintained until the end of the first quarter, and Lukai was in danger.

During the break, "Chicken Soup Master" Rivers couldn't believe that he was caught off guard by Carlisle, who was known for his rigidity, with a temporary change of formation!

Rivers also knows that if O'Neal cannot be solved, this game will be difficult to play.

Right now, Pierce's scoring is blocked and the Celtics must start from the defensive end.

"In the second quarter, remember, double-team O'Neal resolutely. Don't worry about Wei. If he wants to shoot, let him shoot. Just interfere occasionally!"

Rivers made a prompt decision and chose to let Wayne go in this multiple-choice question.

Isn't the answer obvious? The player who ranked third in the MVP rankings last season and a rookie would choose this way no matter who they were.

Moreover, Wayne played lively in the first quarter, and he only scored one goal.

Don't be afraid!

At this time, Payton suddenly sat next to Teacher Tony, which shocked Tony.

Isn’t it? If you get angry on the court, you still have to take it out on me?

As a result, Payton said perhaps the most tender words to Tony so far.

"That Wei, was he so good at trash talking in college?"

"This..." Tony was still a little uncomfortable without being sprayed by Peyton.

"As far as I know, he didn't seem to like to talk trash much when he was in college."

"Really? It seems that the guys from the Pacers taught him well. I will have to be stricter with you in the future, Tony."

Teacher Tony:???

The game restarted in the second quarter, and sure enough, Wayne occupied a place in the Pacers' starting lineup in the second quarter!

He will continue to partner with Xiao Ao in the paint to continue his advantage.

O'Neal Jr. is eager to give it a try. With Wayne by his side in today's game, he simply didn't have a great time playing.

Not only does Wayne help open up space on the offensive end, but Wayne also has Wayne on the defensive end to keep an eye on LaFrentz, who always loves to roam outside the three-point line.

This allowed Xiao Ao to save a lot of energy.

However, at the beginning of the second quarter, it was the Celtics who took the lead.

This time, Payton used LaFrentz's cover to break into the penalty area. Wayne immediately switched to guard, but Payton's final layup avoided Wayne's block in the air.

Although I am old, my body is not as strong as it was during the supersonic era.

But Payton is getting better and better at his job.

Payton scored on Wayne, is that okay?

"What about defense? You have to send someone to defend me." After scoring the goal, Payton deliberately yelled at Wayne. Wayne really wanted to give Payton an elbow.

How can someone have such a disgusting mouth!

Bird said: Where is this?

When I was beaten for trolling someone...

But soon, Wayne got a chance to save his face.
