Personal honors

"The next player is the shooting guard——" boos As the commentary on the live broadcast sounded at the same time, "This is his last visit to Madison Garden-" the boos became louder and louder, "No. 31, Reggie Miller!" When Miller walked out of the tunnel As he ran into the stadium, the boos gradually subsided, and the audience stood up and applauded in unison. This cheer is full of hatred and respect for a great opponent... Just like punk is the most honest rock music and the most magnanimous, wildest and most unrestrained interpretation of the rock spirit, punk is a kind of music that will not be changed. People, they don't care how the public knows themselves, they only need the public in one situation - when they raise their middle finger. If Iverson is the elf from hell, then Miller is more like the "devil" who dares to challenge God. When it comes to the "most magnanimous, wildest and most unbridled explanation" of the rebellious spirit in the basketball world, Miller was once Iverson's predecessor. The latter's famous saying is: "I don't have to respect anyone, including Jordan!" And Jordan may say this: "I can respect anyone, except Reggie Miller!" Since February 10, 1993, Indianapolis After Miller slapped Jordan in front of more than 16,000 spectators at the MSA Center in Leith, the decade-long rivalry between the two began. Every time he visits the Windy City, Miller must go all out and score continuously to retaliate against Jordan's humiliation. The 1998 Eastern Conference Finals was the last time Miller and Jordan met. In the playoffs, Miller finally settled the grudge between the two with his ghostly game-winner. At the last moment, he pushed Jordan away and made a fatal three-pointer. It can be said that in the 20th century, Miller has always been a painful but lingering thorn in Jordan's heart. The deep sting he brought to the Flyers makes the two still strangers to this day. Perhaps it was his unfortunate childhood that created Miller's unruly character. He was born in a family of athletes. His sister Shelly Miller was the main force of the 1984 Olympic champion U.S. women's basketball team. Another sister Tammy is a volleyball player. His brother Da Rail Miller is an outfielder for the California Angels baseball team. But when the young Miller told his basketball dream word by word, others either ridiculed or sighed. The reason is simple. Before the age of five, he was just a child who relied on a brace to stand and walk. But the stubborn Miller never bowed to fate. Everyone was thinking about scoring 30 or 40 points per game, but Rodman found a new way to prove his greatness with rebounds. Leaping high in the dense crowd, sending the ball into the basket with incredible postures, and then shouting with arrogance - Miller's way of solving problems is equally simple and alternative. Unable to fly above the basket, he practiced shooting day and night. He wanted to prove that a long-range shooter could also go down in history.

There is a blazing soul burning in Miller's thin and frail body. He is not afraid to make the whole world his enemy. Although it is fun to have Jordan as his old enemy, it is too lonely. After this old punk is searching hard, He chose the world-famous Madison Garden in New York as the target of his attack, so Spike Lee, a super fan of the Knicks, became another "enemy" of his. In Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks led 70:58 in the first three quarters. When Miller made the first shot at the start of the fourth quarter, those watching on the sidelines disdainfully said it was just luck. But Miller then hit a series of three-pointers, and every time he made a shot, he had a verbal argument with Spike Lee. In the end, Miller scored 25 points in the fourth quarter and led the Pacers to victory. The second time was when the two teams met again in the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals. With 18.7 seconds left in the first game, the Pacers trailed by 6 points, but Miller scored 8 points in a row in the last 8.9 seconds, once again leading the Pacers to a comeback. As soon as the game ended, Miller rushed to Spike Lee and cursed him. Every time the two teams met in the future, Miller and Lee would have a heated exchange of words. Facing the crazy home fans in New York, the crazy action of choking his neck will surely linger in the hearts of every fan. When this figure stands outside the three-point line, time will stop and the game will retain its final suspense. It’s not that Miller didn’t miss. In the 2002 World Championships, he passed the ball to another Miller (Andre Miller) who shot only 22.5% from three-point range at the last moment, resulting in a dream. The team lost for the first time in an international competition. This season, Miller still maintained a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%. On February 8 in Miami, he made all five shots from beyond the three-point line. A three-pointer sealed the victory for the Pacers; on November 15 last year, he scored a season-high 31 points at Madison Garden, making 6 of 7 three-pointers, and made the last one 49 seconds before the end. Three points, causing the Knicks to suddenly die. As a pure shooter, he has become a widely supported leader, which is rare in the NBA. Tinsley said: "I have nothing to say about Reggie. This year he mainly contributed on defense and gave many opportunities to others, just for the championship ring. This is what we all owe him." Xiao Ou His attitude is more straightforward: "As long as I can bring him a ring, I will do anything!" Even if this 38-year-old old friend retires tomorrow, he will still be the most terrifying assassin in the world today.

The Amazing Miller

Reggie Miller learned to play basketball because he wanted to exercise his leg muscles. Due to his physical disadvantage, he had never defeated his sister, so he turned to practicing three-point shooting, hoping to defeat his sister with long-range shots. It was this seemingly simple idea that made Miller the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history. Since entering the NBA, Miller has taken 6,486 three-pointers and hit 2,560, ranking first in NBA history until February 10, 2011. However, on February 10, 2011, Eastern Time, the Celtics faced the Lakers at the North Shore Garden Stadium. Ray Allen hit his first three-pointer of the game, tying Reggie Miller's career 2,560 three-pointers. 2 minutes later, he took an assist from Rajon Rondo and scored a three-pointer in a fast break, thus breaking the record and bringing the number to 2,561. Mentioning Reggie Miller

When you think of Miller's three-pointer, it reminds people of the "Miller moment." The last few seconds of the game are often Miller's exclusive moments. In the first game of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals, the opponent was the Knicks. In the last 8.9 seconds, Miller hit two consecutive three-pointers and scored 8 points, helping the Pacers complete the most amazing comeback in NBA history. In Game 4 of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, under Jordan's close defense, Miller took off and hit a three-pointer with only 0.7 seconds left, leading the Pacers to a comeback. After announcing his retirement, the opportunities to see his "Miller moment" became few and far between. "This will be the last chance to play alongside Reggie," coach Carlisle said. "This will be the last chance for fans to appreciate Reggie's performance, which will add great significance to the rest of our games this season."

Big Mouth Miller

Miller's big mouth is famous in the NBA. It is precisely because of his big mouth that he has had conflicts with many players, including Jordan. There’s Kobe too. Miller VS Jordan

During the game on February 10, 1993, Jordan clashed with Miller. Jordan thought Miller elbowed him intentionally, so he punched him in return.

At that time, Miller was ejected, but Jordan continued to play, which made Miller angry. He thought it was Jordan's fault, and after the game he complained endlessly that Jordan was "too good at performing" and "confused the referees." In the end, Jordan was fined $10,000. The feud between Kobe and Miller began in 2002. When the two met in Los Angeles, they got into a big fight and both were suspended. Since then, the two have become strangers and have never met again. The scene was very heated. Kobe punched first, and Miller immediately counterattacked. The two of them grappled together like hooligans, and both fell behind the scorer's table. Kobe said eloquently: "He doesn't understand at all. I won't argue with fools." Miller said sarcastically: "Kobe is still young and he still has a lot to learn." The Bulls and Pacers played in Cincinnati In an exhibition game, Miller kept provoking Jordan after making successful shots: "Did you see it, you raised by ××?" "Don't let me make it easy, raised by ××!" When Jordan finally After hitting a goal, he joked coldly: "Is this your masterpiece?" Compared with this, Miller's relationship with the Knicks and Madison Square Garden is even deeper. In the 1993 playoffs, after scoring, Miller would always throw out trash talk to Starks such as "Do you know why my salary is so high? This is the difference" and "You can go back and practice again." . After hitting the last winning goal, Miller jumped on the scorer's table and shouted at the Knicks bench and New York fans: "This ball is dedicated to you bastards!" Miller officially became a member of the New York City team. public enemy. In the 2005 Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pacers were eliminated by the Pistons. Miller tried his best to score 27 points in the last game of his career. After the game, all the fans at Conseco Center stood up and thanked Miller with the warmest applause for everything he has done for the team in the past 18 years, but Miller only left one sentence for the Pacers fans - "No middle finger, no" basketball". Miller has been the "image spokesperson" for trash talk since he joined the league. Coupled with Larry Bird's words and deeds, Miller's big mouth quickly became "famous" in the NBA. Whether it's trash-talking with Jordan, or scolding Spike Lee in Madison Garden, or jumping on the scorer's table after a game-winner and yelling at the visiting fans, "This goal is for you XX." "Raised", Miller's trash talk is as classic as his "Miller Moment" and is also remembered by the world. Miller admits that he is willing to talk trash, but he believes that it is just to stimulate his opponents and motivate himself. Fortunately, Miller has not had time to talk after retiring, and the NBA's guest commentators can satisfy his addiction.

Empty-handed Miller

There is only one NBA championship every year, but it is not Miller's Pacers. If Miller has any regrets in his 18 seasons, then not taking away a championship ring when he retired was his biggest regret. Since joining the Pacers in 1987, the closest Miller has come to a championship was the 2000 NBA Finals with the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite averaging 24.3 points per game in six games, Miller once again had to walk into the dugout disappointed. Miller, who was not favored by a championship, won the hearts of coaches, players and fans. "Although he never won a championship, he had a brilliant career." Current Pacers head coach Carlisle said, "He has always been dedicated to Indianapolis and is a role model for us."

In the eternal world of idol loyalty for many years, everyone knows Ye Gucheng's sword, and they all know that no one can resist this sword. Even the omnipotent Lu Xiaofeng has to rely on luck to decide whether he can catch it. In the duel on the "Night of the Full Moon, on the Purple Gold Peak", the "Sword God" Ximen Chuixue knew that he had lost before he left. The style of that sword must be so gorgeous. He sealed his throat with a sword and walked away with a long smile. Reggie Miller

New York, USA, the mecca of the NBA. It has witnessed the development of basketball history for a century, and countless splendid and even shocking performances have been staged here. New York fans are picky and mean, but here, there are only two people that New Yorkers hate the most, one is God and the other is Reggie Miller. Hate God because God never loses here. If New Yorkers' hatred of God is mixed with impotent envy and jealousy, then their hatred of Miller is simply a hatred of an enemy with gritted teeth. Miller's sword once pierced the hearts of all New Yorkers.

In 1987, a thin young man joined the league. At that time, the ten-year feud between the Celtics led by "Big Bird" Bird and the Lakers led by "Magic" Johnson had come to an end. God was like an angry bull, launching a huge impact on the championship. "Gorilla" Ewing has joined the Knicks, "Big Dream" Olajuwon has become the propeller of the Rockets, and the bad boy army headed by "Smiling Assassin" Thomas is brewing a huge subversive basketball riot. ...At that time, no one would have known that this thin young man would shake the entire league in the future, and even make everyone who heard his name feel deep fear from the bottom of their hearts... This young man was Reggie... Miller. He doesn't have a strong body, he doesn't jump high, and he doesn't run fast. However, as long as he stands outside the three-point line, he will always be the most lethal threat to his opponents. Every time at the most critical moment of the game, he was as calm as a professional killer, looking for every opportunity with his cold eyes, throwing away his opponent time and time again, and then he surged forward and struck with a chokehold. Many opponents cannot understand how such a thin body can run on the court for a long time and create opportunities for themselves through constant running. How much energy is contained in that thin body. I think it should be a winning heart, a desire for victory, and a championship dream that will never die. He always bursts out with huge energy when the team needs him most. He was born for the playoffs. His career playoff statistics are higher than those in the regular season. This is the most perfect thing about a great player. manifestation. If God's precise pitching is a devastating blow to the opponent, then Miller's hits are the most terrifying psychological attacks to the opponent, even the coach, and even the fans. As long as he stands outside the three-point line, it means the game is not over, even if there is only the last second left. It only takes one second, even if it's shorter, he can make that moment glow with the splendor of death and kill with one blow. "Miller Moment" is a term that scares all opponents and coaches. He can shoot you out of the warm heaven and into the endless hell. Okay, let's review those classic battles. On June 1, 1994, the Pacers faced the New York Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The two sides had previously fought to a 2-2 draw, and the fifth game was played at Madison Square Garden in New York. Before the start of the fourth quarter, the Pacers were behind by many points. All New Yorkers were waiting to see Miller make a fool of himself and were ready to send him away with a lot of boos. Hollywood director Spike Lee, a super fan of the New York Knicks, also tried his best to insult the team on the sidelines, but this time, Miller disappointed all New Yorkers. He scored 25 points in a single quarter, including 5 three-pointers. He would score the ball, and every time he scored, he would run up to Spike Lee and start a quarrel. In the end, he scored a game-high 39 points to lead the Pacers to a comeback on the road. Then he left New York proudly, taking with him the hatred of all New Yorkers. This was the first time the "Miller Moment" was broadcast live in the United States. Although the New York Knicks eventually won the Eastern Conference Finals 4-3, Miller's performance in the fourth quarter of Game 5 still became a record in playoff history. One of the most incredible performances. A year later, the Pacers and Knicks met again in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. In the first game of the second round on May 7, 1995, the Knicks led by 6 points with 18.7 seconds left. Many people thought the game was over, but Miller firmly believed that a miracle would happen. As a result, in the last 8.9 seconds, Miller hit two three-pointers, plus two free throws, and scored 8 points, helping the Pacers complete the most amazing reversal in NBA history 107-105. In an interview after the game, Miller's first words were: Dedicated to you, Indiana! On May 1, 1998, Miller hit a three-pointer with 2.9 seconds left in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Knicks, sending the two sides into overtime. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 118-107, and Miller scored 38 points in the entire game. On May 25, 1998, in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers faced the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan. Previously, the Bulls were leading 2:1. As long as they win this game, they can get the match point. In the final stage of the game, the Bulls led by 1 point. With 0.7 seconds left in the game, everyone's hearts were tightly grasped by Miller. He made a big circle, rushed out from the inside, pushed away God beside him, and took the ball outside the three-point line. The ball was sent, turned around, shot, the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, hit! I think at that moment, God’s heart broke.

Although in the end, after seven games, the Pacers lost 3-4, Miller always believed that he could beat Jordan. Miller proudly said: "I know he is the best, everyone knows it. But, I think I can fight him! Everyone wants to perform well, and I am the same. Maybe I am not the best athlete. I can't run fast, I can't jump high, but I can compete with the best players!" On June 2, 2000, Miller scored 34 points in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals and led the Pacers to defeat the New York Knicks! Sri Lanka team. After 10 years of hard work, Miller finally helped the Pacers reach the Finals for the first time in history. However, although Miller averaged 27 points in each game of the Finals, he encountered the Los Angeles Lakers, who were at their peak, and a once-in-a-century OK combination, a successor to God, and a monster center. Miller missed the championship, and the Bird era of the Pacers also came to an end. On April 21, 2001, in the last 3 seconds of the first game of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers, Miller scored the winning three-pointer over the head of "Little Ghost" Iverson. On May 2, 2002, the Pacers faced the New Jersey Nets in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. When the gong sounded in the fourth quarter, Miller hit a three-pointer from 39 feet, dragging the two sides into the first overtime; at the end of the first overtime, Miller broke through and scored with Martin and William. Si dunked with both hands above his head, sending the game into the second overtime. Although the Pacers eventually lost the game, the 37-year-old Miller still made all New Jerseyans feel fear like never before. All, all, the memory of the crazy performance at Madison Square Garden in New York, the gentlemanly bow in the face of the boos from the audience; the famous chokehold; the three-pointer from the corner; turning around and pointing to the audience He scolded, "Look, you bitches, this ball has been scored." Before he finished speaking, the ball hit the net hollowly; after winning the ball, he jumped up and down like a child; his cold eyes... "One general's success will lead to thousands of bones drying up." God became God, the dreams of countless people were ruthlessly crushed by him, and the lives of countless superstars were filled with tragedy because of him. God has countless opponents in his life, but Miller may be the only one who can rise to the level of an enemy. When everyone surrendered at the feet of God, Miller attacked God again and again, although each time ended tragically. On April 5, 2005, Miller visited the New York Knicks for the last time in his career. Miller is leaving, and this is the last time he will appear in Madison Square Garden wearing No. 31. He brought so many soul-stirring memories to the NBA and countless unforgettable kills to his opponents, but he still came to the end of his career. The title of "Uncrowned King" accompanied Miller for 18 full seasons. Among the many opponents, the fans who have witnessed the most "Miller Moments" are undoubtedly the fans at New York's Madison Square Garden. New Yorkers had reason to hate Miller, but on this night, there was only a touch of sadness and respect that filled the entire game. As the game came to an end, the fans began to chant "Le-Ji, Re-Ji" in unison. The fans could no longer care about the tragic defeat of the home team the Knicks, and they wanted to dedicate their highest respect to this great opponent. Knicks fans are crazy and emotional. Miller has given them the most painful and cruel blow, but they can't forget Miller's heroic appearance of taking off and shooting again and again. I think how much charisma you have to be able to win the respect of your opponents and even your enemies. The song ends and everyone disperses. After the game, Miller walked up to Spike Lee, the most loyal Knicks fan, for a hug. Heroic respect between two men. After God retired, the world was in chaos. Many superstars put aside their dignity and pursue fame and fortune for the sake of that championship ring. "Jazz" Barkley, "Glove" Payton, and the loyal "Postman" Malone... But Miller stuck to that belief and played for the Pacers for 18 seasons. On May 7, 1995, he scored 8 points in the last 8.9 seconds to defeat New York and complete the most amazing comeback in NBA history. In an interview after the game, Miller's first words were: Dedicated to you, Indiana! May 20, 2005. Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Pacers face the Pistons at home. Perhaps due to fate, Miller lost to the Pistons in his first playoff appearance 15 years ago. Today, 15 years later, his last playoff game ended at the hands of the Pistons. In the last game of his career, Miller scored 27 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He made 11 of 16 shots and 4 of 8 three-pointers.

After the game, all the spectators stood up, chanted his name for a long time, and held big slogans "Reggie, don't leave" and "Reggie, we love you"... All the teammates hugged him, and all of them hugged him. Opponents came over to hug him one by one, as well as the coach. . . Miller placed his right hand on his heart, raised his left hand, and held back the rushing tears... The familiar heroic posture, the gorgeousness of the throat seal, and the unyielding eyes... will all become memories. Forever.
