Chapter 185: Chapter 1 City!



Chapter 185 Bringing Back a City!
On June 6, the Lakers, who had already won two games at home, rushed to the home court of the Indiana Pacers on the morning of this day.

After the Lakers lost two games in a row at home, the Pacers returned to their old home under great pressure.

Whether it is the legendary star Larry Bird or several stars in the team, they are all frustrated by the loss of these two games.

Bruce and Wilkens came to the Conseco Arena, home of the Pacers, early on. Looking at the excited fans around them, the two seemed to be infected. The third game of "Bad Fight"!
Through the first two games against the Lakers, the Pacers gradually revealed the negative effects of their skills and age!

In these two games, although Miller and Jaylen Rose played a huge role, O'Neal who encountered a crazy outbreak could only silently lick his wounds!
This third game is very important for the Pacers who have already stood on the edge of the cliff with one foot. At the press conference before the game, both Bird and Miller expressed to the media and fans that they won this game. game of determination!
As the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel, there was a huge noise in the stadium. The rumbling sound seemed to be boosting the morale of their fighters. Bruce and Wilkens were extremely excited!

"Lanny, the team's contract renewal has been basically completed. Next, we will see the upcoming draft and the signing and trading of free agents in August!" Bruce said to Wilkens next to him in a loud voice. , if not, he was very worried about whether his voice would be heard by Wilkens!
"Yes, more than half of our current work has been completed, and the rest can only wait for the end of the freezing period!" Wilkens, like Bruce, yelled close to his ear!

The appearance of the two is the scene that is present in the stadium now. Whether it is the fans or the rich and famous people sitting in the front row, they are just like the two of Bruce.

As the two teams warmed up gradually, everyone suddenly became quiet!

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Conseco!!!"

"boom!!"

A louder noise than before suddenly sounded in the arena, as if the entire arena had become a huge battlefield, giving people a shocking feeling!

"Let's welcome the Pacers' greatest coach. Larry Bird!!!"

Crazy, the fans in the entire arena suddenly yelled like crazy. Although this great star failed to play in his hometown, what he brought to this hometown team was not only spirit but also strength. team potential.

In this season, Bird brought the Pacers to the huge stage of the Finals.

The fans gave him deafening cheers, and Bruce understood and regretted it very much.

Because of his health, Bird will leave the coaching position after coaching in this finals and turn to serve as the vice president of the Pacers!
Bruce looked at Bird who was being cheered by thousands of fans on the field, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart!
The players of the Lakers and Phil Jackson didn't seem to want to interrupt this shocking scene, perhaps out of respect for the legendary star who led the team to fight the Lakers for many years, they didn't walk under the shouts of DJ Hit the field!

At this moment, everyone is staring at Larry Bird, whose eyes are shining with tears. He has given too much to this team, and he also left his last "career" in the city where he was born. city ​​of!

Touching and shocking, there is always an end. When Bird finally paid tribute to the fans, with a little bit of reluctance, he slowly walked off the court amidst the wild cheers of the fans!
"He is a great player!" Wilkens said deeply.

"That's right, he is the unscrupulous "Big Bird", the eternal Big Bird in the league!!" Bruce stared fixedly at the already somewhat aged back, with unspeakable regret in his heart!
Following the referee's signal, the Lakers players walked to the court one after another!

When the main players of the two teams all played, Bruce was surprised to find that Kobe did not follow these main players to the court, but sat down on the court with some depression.

Regardless of whether Kobe is injured or what the reason is, this much-watched game kicked off when the referee threw the ball into the air!
Bruce quietly looked at the double-serving players who were flickering on the field, and seeing these players struggling for the "supremacy" in their hearts, the blood in his body seemed to be burning suddenly, rushing violently.

In the first quarter, the Pacers were inspired by the scene before the opening. Under the crazy performance of Reggie Miller, the Pacers returned to the court with an 23-point lead over the Lakers at 15:8!

Miller's sudden outburst made Bruce seem to see that elegant and agile figure. He seemed to have returned to his peak period, tearing the Lakers' defense with his crazy running.

Every grain of COS brought cheers to the fans in the Conseco Arena.

Back off the court, because the Lakers were in a downturn on both offense and defense, Phil Jackson roared and arranged tactics and encouragement to the players.

When the players on both sides returned to the court, in Bruce's eyes, the Lakers finally recovered a little.

O'Neal ravaged the inside of the Pacers crazily, while Miller responded to him with long-range shots. The two were like the generals of the two armies. Once you dunk, I immediately retaliated with a deadly three-pointer!

In this way, when the two teams ended the halftime game, the Pacers still ended the second quarter with a score of 30:27 by virtue of Miller's performance and the hard defense of the rest of the players!

In the first half, the score between the two teams was 53:42, and the Pacers returned to the locker room with an 11-point lead!
In the arena, the fans were as lively as a festival, especially behind Bruce and Wilkens, a group of young men in their 20s were chatting eagerly.

"Nick, Reggie will definitely bring us an exciting trophy!"

"Of course, Kanter, don't you see how cool Reggie's shooting is? He will definitely blow up this group of old Los Angeles!"

Hearing the hot chat behind them, Bruce and Wilkens looked at each other one after another, and shook their heads with wry smiles!
Although the Pacers will win the final victory in this game, the fact that they are two games behind the Lakers cannot be ignored!
Judging from the first half of the game between the two teams, the Lakers players were obviously out of shape. I don’t know if it was because they tried their best at home. into a depressing downturn!

On the other hand, the Pacers, although Miller seems to have taken a stimulant to score crazy points, but the rest of the players have basically made little progress on the offensive end except for their good defense!

With a shocking "battle dance" performed by the native Indiana warriors in the midfield, the players of the two teams returned to the court again!

"Lenny, what adjustments do you think the Lakers will make?" Bruce asked curiously as he looked at the players on both sides of the court who were about to play.

"Phil will definitely use his sharp teeth to encourage these guys, he has always done it!" Wilkens seemed to think of a very funny thing, watching him still sitting firmly on the coach like an old monk Phil Jackson at the table couldn't help jokingly said.

"Uh...Phil's eloquent teeth???" Hearing Wilkens' words, Bruce thought he had misheard, but when he saw the other party nodded seriously, he looked at Phil Jackson chewing gum. Look, can't help but wonder for a while.

"Haha, do you still remember why Scott (Pippen) was so miserable?" Wilkens looked at Bruce playfully, shook his head when he saw that the other party was unknown, and then said directly: "Back then, Scottie was so miserable because of his salary. The dissatisfaction of the Bulls, in the last season when the Bulls won the championship, there was a very bad situation between the team, the coach and the substitute players who got more than him. If Phil hadn't played a huge role in it, I'm afraid Michael (Jordan) will definitely leave here with regrets!"

After listening to the "story" told by Wilkens, Bruce couldn't help but admire Jackson's ability!

If Bruce knew that this guy was an outspoken moron, I don't know how he would react!
At the beginning of the second half, the Pacers still maintained a fairly good competitive state. As time progressed a little bit, when the Pacers finally finished the quarter with a score of 26:24, all the fans in the arena cheered. Cheering with excitement as if seeing this victory!

After entering the fourth quarter, it seemed that the Lakers woke up suddenly, but after O'Neal gradually played a terrifying dominance, the Lakers still ended the first game with a loss even though they led the Pacers by 4 points in a single quarter trip to Indiana!

In the audience, Miller scored an astonishing 33 points. His crazy performance seemed to let people see his demeanor when he fought against Jordan. Every fan gave the warmest cheers to their leader!
Apart from Miller's performance for the Pacers, the most eye-catching thing is Jaylen Rose. He played a total of 45 minutes in this game, which is only 1 minute less than Miller.

He took 18 shots and scored 9 points and 21 rebounds after hitting 6 goals!

His performance seems to make the Pacers fans see another supernova rising, and everyone is looking forward to him!
After the Pacers removed the super performance of the two, the other players were only Dale Davis, and their help was not small!

In the whole game, although Davis only scored 2 points, he grabbed 12 rebounds, and even scored 4 offensive rebounds!

The Lakers are like a replica of the Pacers, except that Glenn Rice and the others failed to help Mr. Shark like Rose and Davis!

O'Neill played 47 minutes and took 24 crazy shots. He seemed to have God's help in tonight's game. He hit 15 goals astonishingly, and his hit rate was as high as 62%. .

When he left the court annoyed with 33 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Bruce kept staring at his back with twinkling eyes!
