167: Pat Riley Worries, 55 Wins Rewards Credited (4.7K(2/2)
Right now, he was the only one who could help the fireplace.
Therefore, Tianzun pushed Wayne away, then ran back and cut inside.
As expected, Billups had superb passing vision and delivered the ball to Tianzun immediately.
Tianzun smiled, and after waiting for a whole time, it was finally time to deal with Wayne!
Tianzun ran straight towards the basket and took off for a layup!
On the bench, Carlisle covered his mouth and showed a surprised expression like Jim Kelly.
This guy...he jumps so short!
Thanks to Wayne's hand-to-hand combat, Tianzun's physical strength was severely exhausted at this time.
So he didn't know that his jumping height had become much shorter than usual.
Tianzun raised the basketball in joy, but unexpectedly, a black shadow struck from behind.
"No..."
"Snapped!"
The basketball made a crisp sound and was blown away by Wayne.
"What a risk. Wayne prevented Rasheed from attacking the frame. God, the Pistons are in really bad shape. Their offense today...there was simply no offense."
Wayne looked at Tianzun, shook his head as if disappointed, and then pointed out four fingers.
"It's 4-0. You haven't won a game in this regular season. Oh, no." At this point, Wayne pointed out one finger and spread his fingers.
"And in that fight, you also lost. So, 5 to 0!"
Tianzun is really going to explode. In fact, Tianzun's tolerance for trash talk is quite strong. But... if Wayne talks trash to him, the meaning is different!
How can I bear this!?
At this time, Ben walked up to Rashid and patted him on the back: "Forget it, Artest is not here today, we may not be able to defeat anyone."
Artest on the bench smiled: How does it feel to hear my name?
Rashid then gave up. A man is capable of bending and stretching!
Wait for a while...Oh, the game is not waiting for a while.
From the third quarter to the fourth quarter, and from the fourth quarter to the end of the game, Rashid waited and found that he had lost completely.
"Waiting for the playoffs, waiting for the playoffs, I will definitely deal with Wayne!" Tianzun then said to himself.
In this way, a game that was obviously very important to the Pistons ended hastily.
The score became 96 to 81, and the Pacers won.
The Pistons made 28 of 70 shots from the field, Little Prince made 4 of 12 shots, Big Ben made 3 of 12 shots, and Tianzun made 1 of 8 shots.
It's really defense that wins the championship, because they can't win with offense.
For the Pacers, Wayne scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, a complete victory!
Now, everyone believes that it is not a rumor that Wayne defeated Tianzun when he was in college...
Larry Brown stood up and began to seriously consider the possibility of the Pistons reaching the Finals this season.
Even if they get past the Pacers, there will still be a Heat this year...
The bonus left by Carlisle has almost been used up, and it's time to run away.
Wayne looked at the silent Tianzun, feeling a little disappointed.
Kobe is still fun, at least he can fight with you for 48 minutes.
But don’t tell me, Artest’s badge is really good.
If you upgrade early, you can rely on your physical strength to defeat those who cannot defeat you with physical strength.
Like being dumb or something like that.
At this point, the Pacers swept last season's Eastern Conference finals rival Pistons 4-0 in the regular season.
Reggie Miller, who scored 18 points in the game, said at the press conference: "Indianapolis' moment is finally here."
All Pacers players are looking forward to one thing now - a championship!
Pat Riley felt the pressure at this time. In the remaining regular season games, the Heat and Pacers will have two chances to play against each other.
This time, with an attitude of disregarding death, try the depth of the walker!
On the other side, at the Pistons' press conference, Rasheed remained silent.
"Rashid, you said before the game that you wanted to remind the Pacers who the defending champion is. Do you think they remembered it?"
Poof, a blood.
"Today you played very awkwardly on the offensive end. You only scored one goal in the game. Can you tell me what happened?"
Phew, double kill.
"Rashid, judging from today's performance... So Wei really beat you in college?"
Bang, a critical hit!
The roaring Heavenly Lord is particularly silent today.
※※※
Sweeping the Pistons in the regular season + Miller's championship declaration after the game boosted the Pacers' morale.
So after the game against the Pistons, the Pacers, without Artest, defeated two bad teams, the Bulls and Bucks, and won 51 games.
It seemed that the goal of 55 wins was very close, but in the last game in March, O'Brien blocked Wayne's way.
How can I describe the way the Heat played this game? Basically, it can be said to be lawless.
Wei Wei scored 37 points, and Damon Jones exploded throughout the game. He made 5 of 5 three-pointers and scored 27 points. The Blue Eyed Fat Shark also scored 24 points, beating the Pacers hard.
Although Artest's effectiveness in defending Wade is not very good, without him, it is really impossible to guard him.
The Heat handed the Pacers their 20th loss of the season and consolidated their first place in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat really don't want to give up their No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference.
Because in the first round, whether they were playing against the Nets, who were not getting along well, or the Cavaliers, who were playing against James, they were better than playing against Philadelphia, the No. 3 who could always support a team by himself.
What's more, now the 76ers have acquired Webber. Although Webber's performance in Philadelphia is not very good so far, what if he will explode if he fails to make the playoffs?
Therefore, this victory for the Heat can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Wayne is also depressed. The day of winning 55 games will be delayed again.
But in the next four games, facing a schedule like the Wizards, Knicks, Cavaliers, and Wizards, the Pacers won another four consecutive games!
Well, it also completed the sweep of Xiao Zhan this season.
There is no need to mention too much about the legend of the 2003 killers. Among these four games, the most valuable victory was not against the Cavaliers, but two of them against the Wizards.
Especially in the second meeting between the two sides, the Pacers only allowed Arenas to score 14 points and the shooting rate was only 29.4%!
Did Stephen Jackson suddenly become stronger? No, it was Wayne who really covered the entire half of the defense!
Wayne was extremely active today, as if he was playing in the final tiebreaker of the finals.
As a result, Arenas really experienced what it meant in this game at Bankers Life Arena. "Wayne is waiting for you on the defensive end in rain or shine."
No matter where he goes, Wayne will interfere with him!
This is also due to Jamison's season reimbursement. If Jamison is here, Wayne will definitely not be able to be so free on the defensive end.
After all, Jamison also has range and can open up space.
But now, the Wizards, who are full of injuries, can only use Michael Ruffin to play the starting four position!
This second-round pick in 1999 is averaging 1.4 points per game with the Wizards this season!
There are no shots, and even free throws are useless.
He can't eat cakes, and he's not very good at flying either.
His only bright spot is rebounding, especially offensive rebounds, which he is very active in.
But if I give you a rebound, it won’t be of any use to you!
So Wayne really had the courage to short Ruffin today and go all out to supplement Arenas.
No one can delay his 55-win reward any longer!
In this way, Agent No. 0 became addicted to blacksmithing in the big cornfield and lost himself.
Ruffin also told everyone with his 6-point performance in a single game when he was basically unmarked - I really can't score.
After the game, Wayne looked at the rewards in the system backpack and was so excited that he almost hugged Arenas and cheered.
Your shooting percentage today is too good, General!
The last upgrade before the playoffs has finally arrived!
Chapter completed!
