Reggie Miller, upside down, the joy is endless

In 2012, Reggie Miller was selected as the Nargus Hall of Fame without being optimistic about everyone. Five all -stars, three three times, and three -point record holder in history (later broken by Curry), this is almost all his honors. According to the data algorithm of Basketball-Reference, Miller is only 6.4%of the Hall of Fame.

But he was selected.

However, Miller didn't care about the boo of those questioners. He was used to it and said in his own words:

"Reggie has always ben an underdog."

Um.

Reggie Miller has never been a talented player. In fact, because of the hip muscles, Miller even walked was a problem when he was a child, and the appliance was accompanied by him for a long time. The family never expected him to make any achievements in exercise. Everyone focused on her sister She Lier Miller. Shelier is an extremely outstanding basketball player who has won the Olympic champion on behalf of the national team. He has performed a single 105 -point performance in the American women's basketball. This is the last word. When Miller later talked about her love for basketball, her sister was a topic that she couldn't get around. However, no one would expect that in one -to -one middle school in his backyard, in order to avoid the defense of his sister's cover, Miller practiced his weird three -pointer.

After graduating from high school, Miller did not receive a few decent offers. "His talent seems to be limited to that hand -shot" -This is almost all the coaches' evaluation of him. In this way, Reggie Miller returned to his hometown, went to UCLA, and left a series of scoring records in a tone that was not favored, ranking second in the UCLA score list.

By the way, the name in front of him was Lu Elinoder, which was the "sky hook" Jabal, which was later known.

After that, Miller logged in to the NBA in the 11th place in the draft and went to Indiana, full of cornfields. On the day of the draft, Miller's parents didn't even know that there was a NBA team there. But it is interesting that local fans do not have a cold to Miller. They complained that the management of Steve Aford, who was stupidly missed by the University of Indiana, chose a dry defender who only shot.

Therefore, under such prejudice, in 1990, the third grade Reggie Miller's field averaged 25 points, with 51%+41%+87%shooting rate; in 1992, facing Charlotte Hornets in the face of Charlotte Hornets , Miller 29 of 29, scored 57 points madly, refreshing the scoring record in the Pacers, 134-122 Winners; 93-year regular season, Miller played Michael Jordan, and the two greeting from words. Turn into fists. After the game, he told reporters: "They are strong, but I am happy to continue fighting." In the 1995 Eastern Half -finals, Miller scored 8 points in the final period, setting McGrady the first person to be the first person before 35 minutes 35 minutes. Miracle of moving; in the 1998 eastern finals, Miller pushed Jordan to hit a lore; Miller led the team to the finals in 00.

Well, Underdog, Miller seems to have been like this.

His heyday is in the intercourse of 20 superstars or superstars: Jordan, Bernard, "Magician", Barcley, Ewed, "Assassin", Moses Malone, "Big Dream", Pippen, "Shangshang," Shangshang, "Shangshang," upper "" Postman ", Stockon, Shak, Kobe, AI, KG, Duncan, Peton, Nash, Dek. And any of these people can easily lock the All -Star and the best lineup during the peak. But in this way, Miller was still embedded in this ranks, and was selected for the All -Star five times, three times selected for the best lineup, and stabilized the scalp -averaged 18.2 points in the career, and the real life rate was 61%; Data, the real hit rate of 60% -data.

To put it one more, Miller's career is penalty 6237 goals, the seventeenth history. The ranging ratio is 40%. No ball, three -point, free throw, running endlessly, and covering the block. It is relying on these skills that are contrary to that era. Miller's career conventional season 174.4 winning contribution value, ranking eighteenth in history, holding Kobe Bryant. In the attack of the meat grinding machine, leading the Pacers to play the top six offensive levels of the alliance.

In those years, the survival of the Pacers relied on defense, the cubs that were crushed, and the permanently active Miller. On the field, Miller's three -pointer awakened dead teammates like a banner. On the battlefield of all people sweating like a pulp and a golden drum, Reggie Miller was like a pioneer that rushed to the front, proudly and persistently confront all confrontation, and never shrink back.

In 2012, when Miller's 1998 playoffs were killed in the 1998 playoffs. "Yes, Michael, I pushed you." Miller said with a smile, "But when I saw you using this trick to tried it repeatedly, I felt that I was not very excessive." Miller's speech made everyone at the scene, including Jordan On the other hand, the real talents understand how much sadness needs to be said to be the same as a joke.

The Indiana Pacers with Miller were defeated by all five times in the Eastern Conference five times in 200 years, and they lost the series with 3-4 scores three times. Reggie Miller did not get a championship ring for a lifetime, but his Pacers were always like the last level of the adventure of the East. He encountered him three times; AI did not get rid of his shadow until 2001; Jordan only met him once, but in 1998, he was unforgettable in the moment of the battle; The bed rolled up, and everything that was fortunate in the cold sweat with Reggie Miller's duel has become the past with eight seconds and eight minutes.

And Miller, his career has hardly partnered with any star -level players. His team relies most dependent on ballless cover, bottom line cross, fast -going, defensive communication, accurate grasp of each 24 seconds, but these simple but then, but again, but then, these simple but then are the simplicity, but these simplicity but these simplicity, but these simple but then again Extraordinary tactical thinking and flood -like superstars were fighting for more than ten seasons. Even after being intimidated outside the court, when Indiana's three million mansion was fired and burned (no criminals have been found so far), Miller did not leave Indiana from beginning to end until he retired.

In 1991, after Jordan won the championship, people said that he became the first defender in NBA history to "have no top center but lead the team to win the championship". The next year, Drexler almost completed this great cause. And if it is not the immortal existence of sharks, Miller is likely to engrave this strong in 00. In the era when the muscle stick stands like a mountain, Miller leads the team again and again in the tide of the tide. Indiana Pacers are like a flag of hunting and burning, standing up in the eastern battlefield, and Reggie Miller, the heart of this banner, puts on the psychology of the unbelievable three -point and reverse flow. The spectrum writes the gorgeous heroes.

Everything, just as Miller scored 8 points in the last semi -finals of the Eastern Conference in 1995, "Yes, I saw that the failure was close to me, but I just rushed up and pushed it away. Won."
