Because LaFrentz's defense actually completely ignored Wayne this time, and went all out to double-team Ou.

Payton saw that Wayne was about to take action, so he dropped Anthony Johnson and rushed towards Wayne.

Johnson is not a stable three-point shooting spot, so Payton chose to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

As a result, Payton's interference did not affect Wayne in any way.

Last season, Payton once blocked shots from inside players. But now, being one year older, he is no longer able to do so.

Wayne hit his second three-pointer of the game against Payton's defense, and the Celtics continued to fall behind!

"Ask someone taller to guard against me. You have a flaw in your womb and there is nothing you can do about it."

The two of them were squirting back and forth, it was so lively.

This time, Wayne spat louder and his actions were more obvious.

Therefore, the on-site cameras captured Wayne and Payton squirting at each other.

"Haha, Wei actually broke up with Payton. It's so brave, so brave."

The on-site commentators all smiled. Not only did this MOP play well, but his temperament also kept up with the pace of the NBA.

And Bird, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, was even more happy.

Wayne actually still talks trash? This is a Pacers player.

Please increase your efforts!

Putting aside the exchange of insults between Wayne and Payton, Wayne's three-pointer almost dealt a heavy blow to the Celtics!

Rivers had just chosen to let Wayne shoot, but Wayne stabbed Rivers in the chest.

Facts have proven that Wayne can still hit three-pointers steadily even under interference.

For Wayne, the three-pointer is really a conventional weapon, not just a tactical deterrent.

Wayne and Xiao Ao, this is not a matter of choosing who to let go, it is a matter of choosing who to kill!

A serious rookie cannot kill the game, but...Wayne is not serious.

How can this be fixed?

In the end, Rivers did not make any changes. He decided to see what Wayne could do next.

To put it bluntly, we still have to bet on Wayne's offense.

As a result, he was stabbed again.

When Wayne was once again left open from beyond the arc, LaFrentz couldn't sit idly by any longer.

In this situation, if Wayne scores another goal, the point difference will reach double digits.

Before this game started, Boston fans might have thought that O'Neal would put them in a tough fight, Artest would put them in a tough fight, and even thought that old Miller would put them in a tough fight.

But they never expected that in the end it would be a first-year rookie who had them under control.

After Wayne received the basketball, LaFrentz immediately gave up the double-team and ran out from the inside. He had no choice but to run between Wayne and O'Neill without any effort.

If Wayne passes the ball to O again, LaFrentz will have to keep running.

LaFrentz was about to block Wayne, but Wayne, who was originally staring at the basket, did not shoot. Instead, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and lunged forward.

The two people were sprinting in completely opposite directions, just like two cars driving in the opposite direction passing each other.

Wayne easily breaks through LaFrentz!

In this era, players who can defend well at the third and fourth positions are quite rare.

After experiencing a serious injury, LaFrentz had no time to turn around quickly when faced with Wayne's breakthrough.

Seeing that LaFrentz was thrown away so easily, Payton chased after him unwillingly, preparing to cut the ball when Wayne went for a layup.

But when Payton approached from the side, Wayne hugged the basketball with both hands and raised it above his head. Payton, who reached out to steal, missed the ball and rushed out from Wayne.

Wayne is very skillful in using his height advantage.

After that, Wayne raised the basketball and gently picked it up, then put the basketball firmly into the frame.

Antetokounmpo-style layup!

If you dare to bet, Wayne will enter.

There's nothing good to say about this ball. It just bullies people with its height and wingspan.

At this point, Wayne gave the Pacers a double-digit lead!

Carlisle is so happy, this sixth person is so useful?

"Beautiful goal, Wei passed two Celtic defenders by himself! If Gary had been a step faster, he might have been able to steal the ball.

It’s a pity that time is not kind to anyone.”

After failing to steal the ball and almost rushing to the bench, Payton reluctantly cursed a universal word starting with F.

He put his hands on his hips, looked at the double-digit score difference, and sighed helplessly.

Now, can’t I even teach a kid a lesson?

Championship...why is it so difficult?

On the court, Wayne shrugged in admiration: "It doesn't matter whether you have help on defense or not."

Payton looked at Wayne but didn't fight back.

He felt very powerless.

After that, Wayne continued to shine, and his presence in this game was stronger than the last one.

At first Rivers thought Wayne couldn't kill the game, but when Wayne really started scoring consecutive goals, it was too late.

In subsequent games, Payton and Wayne exchanged insults less and less frequently, as the points difference in the game gradually became larger and larger.

At the scene, the arrogant Boston fans gradually became silent.

When the game reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, a large swath of space was revealed in the stands of North Shore Garden.

The fans had already left the venue early, and the game was completely thrown into garbage time!

It was only then that Tony was replaced by Rivers to practice his hands.

Pierce sat lonely on the bench, shooting 5 of 14, totaling 15 points, and shooting only 35.7%.

On the other side, Artest made 5 of 8 shots and efficiently scored 16 points and 7 rebounds.

There is no doubt that Artest won this duel.

After succeeding James, he secured another top-five small forward in the league.

This ability is indeed incredible. If he had better brain power, Artest might also be able to become a superstar.

But the protagonist of today's game is neither Artest nor Pierce, but the "Owei combination" who scored 47 points together.

O'Brien scored 28 points, and Wayne also scored a career-high 20 points, breaking 20 points in the second game of his career.

Among them, Wayne made 4 of 6 three-pointers, letting Rivers know what conventional weapons are.

In addition to the three-pointers, Wayne also got 7 assists!

The combination of him and Xiao Ou is perfect on the offensive end.

The first time this pair played, they killed a Celtic to add to the excitement.

Watching Bird dancing in front of the TV, Donnie Walsh shook his head.

Watching a ball is like a child.

Now, Bird should be satisfied. The guy he has placed high hopes on is indeed worthy of the expectations.

Without Wayne, today's game would not have been won so easily.

However, Bird is so happy not just because of this big win, nor just because of the excellent understanding between Wayne and O'Brien.

It was also because of a certain guy in this game that Bird had been observing for a long time, which made Big Bird very happy.

Maybe, he can actually use it for some purpose.
