The first day of training ended, and that night, Kirilenkoben wanted to invite Xie Hou to Fountain Square for fun.
When Xie Hou heard that the name was like a child's amusement park, he refused directly and did not give Kirilenko another invitation. He said he would not go, so he would not go.
He locked himself in the player's apartment alone, turned on his laptop and searched the Internet for Miller's information.
It's funny to say that he has a limited understanding of the Pacers, and there is little else to know except Bird and their head coach who look like Jim Carrey.
Before getting to know Miller, Xie Hou thought he was just an old man with a very stinky mouth and a very accurate personality. Now, he found that this old man is really awesome.
He said he was the league's number one shooter, which is not a big deal. Judging from the output to the defensive intensity he encountered, no active player can compete with him on three-pointers.
However, the output of three-pointers is not the only element of Miller's legend. These outputs are like the basic data of the top ten superstars in NBA history. If a great player's career is long enough, he can accumulate unattainable data, but most of these data are just embellishments of legends.
What truly achieves legends are those legendary moments that make money with everyone.
Just what Xie Hou knows about Miller online, there are many classic and unforgettable Miller moments.
Moreover, these moments are almost all set in the playoffs.
For example, the Madison Garden Plaza playoff legend had a 8-minute 8-minute reversal;
There was also a big explosion of 5 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, which made Miller's reputation as a killer of New York's public enemy reach its peak;
The 1998 Eastern Conference Finals gave the Flying Jordan a push and three-pointer to the throat, indicating the situation that the Pacers forced the Bulls' Second Dynasty to;
The 3-point shot that won the last three seconds of the first game against Philadelphia in the 2002 playoffs, and the 39-foot-long, extremely long three-point shot at the 2002 playoffs (also accompanied by a flying dunk that tied the score at the end of the game).
All of the above are the masterpieces of Miller, a star player who "only" averaged 2243 three formations per game at his peak.
These three-pointers that made fans crazy and out of control and frightened their opponents are the performances of Miller's strong willpower to "refuse to lose" and "shoulder the victory and loss", and are also the most charming part of Miller.
Since Miller's career has been the main player of the team since he established his position in the second year, he has always been the team leader. In order to maintain such high-intensity pressure and competitiveness, Miller, who is very rigorous and has a restrained personality, must make his mental state extremely strong. So Miller kept spitting out a lot of trash words and endless curses on the court.
When Xie Hou saw the internet saying that Miller was rigorous in tutoring, he called the website to complain.
"Reggie Miller is rigorous in tutoring, are you crazy?"
The other party explained for a long time and said that their information was also obtained from other places. They just introduced the legendary star to fans as popular science books, and they were not responsible for other matters (especially, the "Miller, who is very rigorous and has a restrained personality" that is not usually caring about by many people).
But Xie Hou entangled them like an octopus, and he couldn't explain, so he could only hang up the phone.
Xie Hou continued to read. He believed in the famous military quotation that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.
But the more he looked at it, the more he admired Miller.
He can find out Miller's shortcomings from these materials - he can't dribble, and as a core player, he is average in passing and supporting the ball. He has never won the championship. Compared with his contemporary superstars, he rarely shows his ability to dominate the entire game. After all, a shooter is just a shooter after all.
However, Xie Hou was puzzled by his ability to practice such a 3-pointer.
The NBA was not included in the three-point line until 1980. Therefore, before that era, the NBA did not have three-pointers. Miller, who graduated from UCL in 1987, had no environment to shoot three-pointers since he was a child. It can be said that he only started practicing three-pointers after entering the NBA.
This shows that his talent for touch is indeed extraordinary. With his diligent practice and understanding of the game, he has promoted three-pointers into a set of offensive philosophy with a very personal characteristics. He has scored more than 150 three-pointers in his career in many seasons. He even made an astonishing 229 with a high shooting rate of 42% in the 96-97 season, maintaining a high output and high shooting rate of three-pointers for many years, making him like a player of another level compared to his shooters of the same period.
Xie Hou looked at it for a long time. He originally wanted to find Miller's weaknesses and black history, but his black history was at most lack of personal honor and no championship.
Xie Hou has not yet won any honors in NBA, so it is not appropriate to laugh at Miller for being a not-so-rich personal honor.
It would be even more inappropriate to laugh at the lack of a champion.
The Miller era was the most prosperous period after the Pacers joined the NBA. There are many reasons why they could not win the championship. If he laughed at Miller for not having a championship, if he was laughing at the most glorious period in the Pacers' history, no normal person would do such a thing.
What's more, Miller looks really kind.
When Xie Hou saw the introduction about Miller pushing away Jordan's three-pointer, he was very excited.
According to the description, it should be a push foul, but at the last moment of the game, the referee chose to leave the will and let the players decide the final result.
So, that must be a cool ball.
Xie Hou had never expected that after reading Miller's information, he not only did not feel disgusted with him, but instead became more and more admiring. He decided not to read these things and seek troubles.
He opened other web pages, and the official website of the Walker is one of the must-visit websites he must visit every day. He will see if there are any idiots with a slut, and they will blacken him here.
If so, his resentment this day just happened to vent his anger on the other party.
Sure enough, when the Pacers' official website posted a video of Xie Hou and Miller being abused for three-pointers, fans who didn't know the truth began to leave messages under this video.
"Arthur's three-pointer is at the same level as mine."
"Sure enough, every rookie is going to be tortured by Reggie, he's so cool!"
Xie Hou looked around and round after round, and the fans just complained that his three-pointer was not good, and didn't say anything else.
He couldn't argue because his three-point shot is indeed unstable now.
However, this did not prevent him from leaving a message below this video.
Xie Hou was a goat and replied that night: "Believe me, within a year, Arthur will definitely adapt to the NBA's three-point line!"
Chapter completed!
