20 3-pointers! After 6 years, the No. 2 team is back and upgraded! Simmons, are you envious?

3:15pm, 12 October 2025【Basketball】

The Pacers defeated the Thunder 116-101 in the preseason.

By the way, are the Thunder really not planning to use their core Big Three worth nearly 200 million in this entire preseason? The Thunder currently have 2 wins and 2 losses in the preseason. The two wins were against the Hornets, and then they lost to the Mavericks and today's Pacers. The depth of my champion Thunder doesn’t seem to work.

The Thunder have new blood today, so fresh blood!

Chris Youngblood played 31 minutes today, made 6 of 11 shots, and scored a game-high 25 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Pacers: If we play this kind of Thunder in June, will we win the championship? !

Have you noticed that this is the second time in the preseason that I have written about the Pacers.

Last time👉Oh my god! Is this the Warriors' No. 2 pick? No way, the nature of human beings is to like this kind of drama of bottoming out and the return of the king. I always like it. Well, I’m talking about the second overall pick in 2020—James Wiseman. This is already Wiseman's sixth season in the league. Time flies, and the years fly by. 6 years ago, I was only 16 years old, but now I am already running for three years

Where are you ladies?

In the last game, Wiseman played 16 minutes, made 2 of 2 shots, and scored 5 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

Wiseman played 12 minutes today, made 4 of 4 shots, and scored 10 points and 5 rebounds.

Both games were 100% shooting!

Wiseman was very tough today!

Grab offensive rebounds and fight for fouls.

What a smart quick break

The counter-attack ability is remarkable, isn't it?

Always be prepared

Seeing that our smart second place is getting better too!

Today, the Pacers specially sent a set of makeup photos for Wiseman. Life is really getting better.

In the training hall two days ago, Wiseman even rang the bell.

There is a bell hanging on the side of the Pacers training hall. When you make at least 20 of 25 3-pointers during training, you can ring the bell.

Fans who follow the Pacers should have seen Haliburton shake it before, right? In recent years, the person who has rang this bell the most is Haliburton.

I didn’t expect that one day, we Wiseman would also ring the bell.

Look at the few steps Wiseman ran over, how fast he ran.

In the past few seasons, Wiseman could not score 20 3-pointers in a single season, so it has been years of ups and downs. He has learned from the experience and trained hard. Has he upgraded?

Wiseman's best 3-point season before was his rookie season, when he made 12 of 38 3-pointers in a single season.

In the 2023-24 season, he was relatively healthy with the Pistons. He played 63 games and made 0 of 2 3-pointers throughout the season.

Now in one training session, you can make at least 20 of 25 shots? ? ?

When Wiseman was training, he was really very active, very, very active.

Those who have lost opportunities will always cherish them when they have them again.

Suddenly I am looking forward to Wiseman in the new season, right? !

Nirvana and rebirth, what a beautiful story, I love reading it.

You said that if Simmons had learned from this painful experience and practiced 3-point shooting, wouldn't he have been without a ball in his 10th year in the league?

Unexpectedly, 10 years have passed since Simmons was drafted. Time really flies by in a blink of an eye.

There was news yesterday that Westbrook and the Kings are very interested in cooperating with each other, but there is really no news about Simmons.
