Chapter 228 Miller's Anger

Although it was not the first time for Bruce to come to the Conseco Arena, every time he came to this arena, he felt a little emotional!

"Guys, you've had enough food and drink, shouldn't it be time to play hard?" Bruce looked at the slightly unhappy players playfully, and didn't have any feelings for his "stinginess".

Since the Warriors came to Indiana, under the coaxing of Carter and the others, Bruce really brought them to a well-known fast food chain in the United States.

Although everyone's basic consumption reached 40 dollars and 50 cents, when they walked out of this fast food restaurant, they couldn't help but secretly cursed.

"Boss, I've never realized that you are such a stingy person!" Carter looked at Bruce complainingly, and when he thought of the "delicious" lunch just now, he felt awkward!
"Haha, aren't you grateful for this delicious meal? It cost me a lot of dollars!" Bruce looked at him with a smile, and his heart was really dark!
In order to prevent these guys from overeating and affecting the game at night, Bruce deliberately took them to a fast food restaurant.

"Okay, guys, if you still want to enjoy a delicious and not cheap supper after the game, then...you give me a good fight!" Bruce folded his arms on his chest, looking at the few people The expression changed instantly, and I felt a burst of pride in my heart!
Since some things happened in the summer, the Pacers have played only averagely since the start of this season. Because Isaiah Thomas has just taken office and some players have changed, this team has lost Bird's coaching style. Once in the running-in stage with Thomas!

In the arena, looking at the fans around who are still enthusiastic, Bruce really admires the operation of the Pacers!

Since Bird returned to his hometown, this team has gradually undergone tremendous changes, and the thing that makes them most happy and excited is the return of a large number of fans!
"Dell, tonight's game must be very exciting!" The black young man sitting next to Bruce said excitedly to his friend!
"Of course, we have another quasi-Hall of Famer as a coach!"

"Come on, I heard that the relationship between this newly appointed star and Jay's players is not very good!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Bruce couldn't help thinking secretly!
In his previous life, as one of the fans of several iron-blooded teams, Bruce knew the history of these teams fairly well.

When Bird officially left the coaching position this season, with Thomas taking office, people did not see the chemistry they should have and some surprising things happened.

Instead, he kept getting caught in the conflict between the coach and the players, and kept exposing it in the major media, which also put a lot of pressure on Thomas!

"drop!!"

With the sound of a flute, the cheerleaders on the court threw the last small gift in their hands to the stands, and then quickly left the court!
After the Warriors and Pacers both walked into the stadium, the fans didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, only a small group of fans cheered.

"Could it be that the matter between Thomas and the players is already so serious?" Seeing the a little indifference of the surrounding fans, Bruce couldn't help but secretly frowned!

Seeing this situation, Bruce subconsciously looked towards the Pacers' rest area!

Isaiah Thomas looked at these players with a gloomy expression. Since joining the Pacers, everything has not been as he thought!

It seemed that the entire team seemed out of place with him, and even Miller, an absolute star, began to treat him as if he were far away.

"Damn it!!" Thomas cursed secretly, then picked up the tactical board and explained it to some sloppy players!

The referee on duty walked towards the technical table in a good mood: "Kourtney, can we start?"

The white old man named Courtney nodded happily: "Myers, tonight's game must be very exciting!"

"Yes!~" The referee on duty nodded to him with a smile, and then walked to the court while blowing the whistle hanging around his neck!
Hearing the whistle, the main players of both sides went to the court one after another.

The Pacers brought Jermaine O'Neal to Indiana through the summer trade. With the amazing performance of this super potential center, he has gradually become the main player of the Pacers!

The lineup sent by the Pacers is center Jermaine O'Neal, the power forward is Austin Crohill who just signed a multi-year contract with the Pacers this year, and the small forward is due to Jaylen Rose's injury. The problem is that he is replaced by Sam Perkins, who is 2 meters tall, and the shooting guard is still the soul of the Pacers, Reggie Miller. 06. 1 meters of Travis Best!
Judging from the Pacers' current lineup, their lineup depth has declined significantly compared to last season. If the bench is not for the presence of two players, Jeff Foster and Derek McKay, the Pacers The bench can basically be described as weak!
On the other hand, the Warriors, in addition to having a starting lineup with a tacit understanding that has gradually reached a certain height, there are Billups, Starks, Del Negro, Chris Mullin, Larry Hugh on the bench. Adams, Danny Fortson, etc. are some of the young or extremely experienced veterans!

Since the beginning of this season, they have ended the first half of the game with a wave of winning streaks. Under the premise that all players have run in quite well, no one dares to say lightly that this amazing team can definitely be won.

In the first quarter, the two teams started as if two styles collided fiercely!
With Carter and Nowitzki showing off frequently, the Warriors used a 10:0 spurt to beat the Pacers to the north in the second half of the first quarter!
Although Thomas took two timeouts because of the team's performance, the already crazy Warriors players didn't give them any chance to comeback!

With the end of the first quarter, the arena suddenly fell into a dull atmosphere!

Compared with last season, the Warriors have made a huge stride, but looking at the performance of the Pacers, it is really surprising!
"Guys, this is Conseco, not Rockefeller Center. Aren't you ashamed at all?" Thomas looked at everyone with a bit of embarrassment. Garbage time after entering!

"Isaiah, do you know how to formulate tactics?" Crozier looked at him coldly, and the disdain flashed across his face!

"Damn it!" Hearing Crozier's question, Thomas seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, his expression changed, he resisted the urge to explode, and looked at him angrily: "You mean you are more qualified Are you the coach of this team??"

Miller, who had fought against Thomas more than once, didn't want the Pacers to be plunged into a huge vortex because of these situations. After hearing Thomas' words, Miller hurriedly stood up: "Austin, can you shut up? ?”

Crozier looked at Miller depressed, opened his mouth, but under the gaze of the other party who seemed to want to kill someone, he sat down slumped!
Since getting a fat contract in the summer, Crohill's state of mind has suddenly changed. He thinks that he should get some privileges or tactical inclinations in the team. It's not like that, that's why he's upset with Thomas!

"Isaiah, I apologize to you on behalf of these damned fellows!" Miller, who didn't say apology easily, couldn't help lowering his posture when he thought of Thomas' difficulties.

"Reggie, you don't have to do this!" Thomas waved his hand helplessly, he felt that his rookie season was on the way to failure!
Bruce was a little surprised to see the tension in the Pacers' rest area, and couldn't help but believe in the discussion of the two fans before!
With the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers finally recovered a bit. Insider Jermaine O'Neal frequently fired shots inside, and with Miller playing aggressively, the Pacers scored as many as 10 points with only two players. The score has been recovered to only 2 points away. Now it's time for Wilkens to call timeout depressingly!
Back off the court, Wilkens didn't say anything to the players, but just thought about it secretly, and then sent Bruce Bowen and James Posey, two defensive pioneers, to the field!
"Vince, carefully observe the running positions of your teammates!" Wilkens looked at the substitute players who were about to play, and said to Carter seriously.

"Understood!" Carter wiped the sweat from his forehead, very cooperative with Wilkens' words!

With the two defensive pioneers playing at the same time, the Pacers suddenly encountered great trouble!
As Miller grows older, his footsteps are a bit slower than Bowen's, which also puts him in huge trouble in the matchup!

With both Miller and Travis Best on the outside line being guarded by Bowen, although O'Neill is still overwhelming the inside line, with the decline of physical strength, his super high shooting rate has finally dropped!
As the second quarter came to an end, with Danny Fortson's powerful rebounding ability, the Warriors relied on Starks' nerves to score, and they left the court with a huge advantage of 12 points!
In the Pacers locker room, when Miller and others opened the door gloomyly, the atmosphere suddenly seemed dull and irritated!
Everyone sat on the chair in silence, even the masseur who wanted to massage Miller's legs hesitated for a moment and did not choose to go!

After a while, feeling the irritating atmosphere, Reggie Miller suddenly stood up and looked at the others coldly: "You are just a pile of stinky shit, no, even a pile can benefit the farm worse than stinky shit."

As Miller cursed like the meanest woman, everyone looked at the floor with ugly expressions, and no one dared to provoke this guy who had fallen into great anger!

"Austin, you were out of control by that German jerk, you really deserve to be the "superstar" of the Pacers!" Miller looked at the ashamed Crozier with mockery on his face. But regardless of whether the opponent was left by the team at a high price, he just "sprayed" his anger.

"Sam! Your performance is as disgusting as garbage mixed with stinky garbage waiting to be disposed of in the garbage can!" Watching Sam Park, who gained a lot of time in the first half but was violently suppressed by Hughes and Bowen Jin Si couldn't help feeling a little lonely in his heart!
Thomas looked at Miller who suddenly went berserk. He was deeply touched by this guy's trash talk, and he was very embarrassed by his merciless roar!

It was in his guidance and the slack performance of the players that this great situation was completely lost!

Although the Warriors' defense was astonishing, while Miller and O'Neal both broke out with all their strength, he did not make further tactical arrangements and changes.

When Bowen and Posey suddenly froze Miller and Sam Perkins, he just stood and walked around the court with an ugly look, and did not respond as he should during the timeout , This is why Thomas is ashamed!

"I don't care what method you use to get your disgusting state back. If you are still like this in the second half, I will have a good chat with Herb (Simon)!" Miller looked at the others one by one with a sneer, thinking of this The existence of such a possibility can't help but accentuate the tone!
Everyone was taken aback when they heard Miller's vicious words. They didn't want to be traded to another team by Miller to compete for positions again under the trust of the owner of the Pacers team!
Seeing the anxious expressions of the others, Miller finally breathed a sigh of relief!
