There is a saying, if Yao Ming goes to the Lakers and joins forces with Kobe Bryant, his career will definitely be more brilliant. With Zen Master protecting him, there may not be so many injuries.

But if Wayne suddenly persuaded Yao Ming to go to the Lakers, it would always feel weird. But he just watched Yao Ming continue to struggle in Houston without saying anything, and Wayne felt guilty.

So, he suddenly turned around and chased after her again.

"Huh? What's wrong, Xiaowei?"

"I just want to say... this is a business alliance, Brother Yao." After saying that, Wayne patted Yao Ming's arm and left.

Yao Ming looked at Wayne and was stunned for a while.

Yes, business alliance...

After that, the Pacers played a few more games, and overall there were wins and losses.

On November 30, with a record of 10 wins and 3 losses, the Pacers lost by 11 points against the Suns, their last opponent in November - their worst loss of the season.

Although Stoudemire is injured on the Suns side, the Frenchman Diaw with range seems to be more suitable for D'Antoni's system.

Although their defense is still poor, their offense is stronger and there is more space!

The three-point rain seems to be free of charge.

Nash was even more dominant today, shooting 7 of 8 three-pointers!

No matter how well Nash played today, how bad Tai played.

4 of 13 in the game, most of the missed shots were wide open...

Artest's recent state has indeed been a bit up and down, but Wayne thinks it's normal.

A season is so long, who can perform so well every game?

After the game, Wayne went to the shower room to take a bath early and prepared to go back to the hotel to rest early.

The Pacers' record of 10 wins and 4 losses in the first month is quite good to be honest.

This is similar to the 11 wins and 2 losses after the first month of last season.

Although it was very chaotic, at least the team did not have any major changes.

At this moment, Wayne suddenly heard a commotion outside.

He quickly dried himself off, wrapped a towel around his lower body and walked out, ready to see what was going on.

Well, unlike Tony, Wayne has the habit of swinging around with a stick, so he still needs to cover it up.

As a result, as soon as Wayne walked out, he saw someone breaking down the door and leaving.

On the ground, there was a smashed CD.

Everyone looked at Wayne, and Wayne looked at everyone with a confused look on his face.

"Where's Ron?"

"Artest is dead. If he wants to be an idol, let him be." Xiao Ao replied angrily.

At this time, Wu Sheng hurried over to give Wayne a review of the grand occasion.

It is said that when he was being interviewed by reporters, Artest took out his album "Blind Chicken" and showed it.

It's okay to be swaying at ordinary times, but today we lost, he played so poorly, and he didn't forget to tinker with the album, which pissed off Xiao Ao.

After the reporters left, Xiao Ao became angry and picked up the CD and smashed it, and then some physical conflicts broke out between the two parties.

When Wayne heard this, he thought it was over.

Because this was not a moment of anger or impulsiveness, but a grudge that had been accumulated for many years between the two people exploded in that moment.

I'll just take a shower and you guys will explode?

That night, the atmosphere in the entire team was particularly tense.

If you say there is a conflict between ordinary players, it can be easily resolved.

But damn, one captain and one vice-captain...

Going back in the evening, Wayne and Artest talked for a long time.

Artest also rarely used a serious attitude to chat with Wayne for a while.

One of the words that impressed Wayne the most was: "I really don't accept him, Wayne.

Honestly speaking, every time when the team is having a hard time, when I see O'Neill shooting, when do I not want him to score? But he just doesn't score!

Time and time again, he was soft-footed at critical moments. I really don't think he is a leader.

And do you think he can convince the crowd in the locker room? This season has been such a mess, has he stood up and said a word?

I really don’t trust Wayne, I don’t trust him. He can be the core and the leader like that, so why can’t I?”

This may be the most sincere words Artest has ever said to Wayne.

He stopped laughing and joking, but truly expressed what he was thinking.

Wayne really couldn't refute that. There is no doubt that O'Neill is a good teammate and a good player.

But you have to ask Wayne if he is a good leader...well, Wayne dare not say yes.

"Stop it Ron, can't you avoid him to promote your album?"

"Yeah, who made him the captain? I'm fine, this little difficulty won't affect me."

Artest smiled and fist bumped with Wayne, then went back to their rooms to sleep.

On the other side, Wu Sheng also had a heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Ao. It was too difficult for Wayne and Wu Sheng to be the captain's nannies.

Shouldn't it be the captains' duty to enlighten others?

This is completely the opposite.

Wayne thought that with the efforts of himself and Wu Sheng, this matter could be solved.

At least it's solved on the surface.

As a result, the next day, the whole world knew that O'Brien and Artest had a conflict in the locker room.

Who told the location of the conflict to be in Phoenix?

Phoenix reporters are eager to muddy the waters!

Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be infinitely magnified.

The first game in December, Pacers VS Trail Blazers.

Paoer has been looking forward to this game for a long time.

After waiting for so long, I can finally compete with Wayne!

However, today, Randolph did not work hard at all on the defensive end and was addicted to wasteful shots on the offensive end.

The most important thing is that Pao'er was scolded by Wayne so much that he couldn't even speak!

We haven’t seen each other for a year, but Wayne’s talking skills have improved by leaps and bounds!

Pao'er scored 15 points and 7 assists in this game, but to no avail.

With Wayne's 25 points and Wu Sheng's 22 points, the Pacers defeated the Trail Blazers by 20 points on the road!

It is worth mentioning that Wayne's shooting percentage today was as high as 58%.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, why is it easier to win this time than in college, Chris. The Jazz who beat Deron a few days ago was more successful than you. I think Deron is more worthy of the third overall pick!"

At the end of the game, when Wayne said this to Paul with a smile, Pao'er almost gave him a warning punch on the spot.

But when I thought about Bogut slapping the ground and begging for mercy... he slipped away.

Squirts returned to Squirts, and after the Squirts left, the smile on Wayne's face also disappeared.

Yes, the Walkers won, but they won with Wayne and Wu Sheng.

The state of Artest and Xiao Ou today can be described as a mudslide, a landslide.

Both of them were in a bad state due to rumors in the locker room, and their minds were not on basketball.

If this was playing an NBA 2K game, then the chemistry of the current Pacers team is probably not even 50%.

After this game, the news about the Pacers in the newspapers was no longer news about victory, but about trade rumors about Artest and O'Neill.

The rumor couldn't have appeared out of thin air, unless Walsh had contacted someone...

The combination of trade rumors and locker room conflicts has everyone panicking.

Because everyone may be suddenly sent away the next day as an extra.

Wayne really feels tired. This is not what he imagined the new season should be like.

The next two losses to the Sonics and Mavericks completely tore off this last fig leaf.

The SuperSonics and Mavericks are powerful teams in the Western Conference, and it is impossible to defeat them without unity.

Wayne tried his best in both games, but nothing happened.

If you work hard to score two points, Artest's defensive look will give him a three-pointer.

This is a hammer.

Wayne is now very curious as to how Walsh was caught.

It's taboo for management to leak trade rumors.

In fact, Walsh didn't leak it, it was because he really wanted a trade.

He couldn't bear it anymore.
