In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 100 Battle against the King
Kara Walters didn't expect Zhang Tian, ​​as an Asian, to be as fast and responsive as a white man like herself.

During his time at UConn, his teammates also had many compatriots from Zhang Tian, ​​but their physical talents were completely incomparable to the guy in front of him.

The two sides switched offense and defense, and Zhang Tian started to attack. He didn't turn his back, but faced the frame. The ball shuttled back and forth between his hands. Kara Walters wanted to steal it, but his wingspan was not enough. , were all resolved by Zhang Tian, ​​and after going back and forth twice, Zhang Tian dribbled the ball to his left hand, and with a high toss, spared Kara Walters' head, and slowly flew into the net.

Kara Walters, a second-year student, bit her lip. As a member of a basketball family, she absolutely loves basketball.In the next defense, Kara Walters began to make physical contact with Zhang Tian, ​​preventing the opponent from having an easy throw or something. After all, Zhang Tian is an outside line, not an inside line.

The former's move was successful. Although her strength was mediocre, her weight was there. Using this tactic, Kara Walters finally got her chance to attack, but her physical strength could not support her to continue fighting.The final score of this heads-up was 20:5. The fanatic team's center was completely crushed.

But Kara Walters was not depressed. After all, there are physical differences between men and women. Losing to Zhang Tian is not a shameful thing.

Zhang Tian went through a one-on-one fight with Kara Walters, which is equivalent to doing warm-up training. The latter did not wash up in the bathroom of the Arco Arena, but left first and went to another place.

The rest of the Pacers teammates are also here, and their spirits look pretty good.

"Zhang, you came so early, do you have enough energy reserves? The king is not the Clippers."

Larry Bird walked to the middle of the floor and looked at Zhang Tian.

"It's okay, I just had a one-on-one fight with someone just now, and now my whole body is completely heated up."

One-on-one?Larry Bird asked casually, "With whom?"

"A WNBA center." The WNBA center, Wang's original suspense, immediately floated up again. Although the general body shape of a WNBA center is similar to that of an NBA striker, there are also a few who are close to the average NBA insider.

"Why are you so reckless, the opponent is a Wnba player and a professional player, don't do such dangerous moves before the game in the future."

The other Pacers players could only pretend not to see it, but these guys already had dozens of catties of lemons in their hearts.Maybe Zhang Tianzhen is the illegitimate son of Larry Bird, otherwise why would he treat him so well.

The starting lineup of the Kings is the same as before. The commentary for this game is Kevin Harlan and Kevin Calabro. The home commentator, the opponent's coming to Sacramento is actually the same as Kevin Harlan, they are just guest appearances.

It has been 48 years since the Kings won the championship last time. Oh, yes, they were not called the Sacramento Kings at that time, but the Rochester Royals.Since then, the king has never entered the finals again, and this record has not been broken since Zhang Tian crossed.

"The Kings suffered a defeat in Boston in the last game. They have to adjust their state. Because the opposing Indiana has won nine consecutive victories." Kevin Calabro was still very worried about the Kings at the beginning.

Kevin Harlan didn't know what to say, but fortunately, at this time, the starters of both sides came out. There was no change on the Pacers side, and the same is true here. When there were ten people, Kevin Harlan couldn't help but say a few words, "In the last game, although Jason Williams sent out 7 assists, he also made 4 turnovers, which means that as a player The team's brain only has 3 assists, which is obviously not qualified, if he can't maintain his turnover rate in this game, then he is likely to be easily defeated by the Pacers."

Mark Jackson is an unobtrusive point guard in the league, in stark contrast to Jason Williams on the opposite side. Some people say that the opponent is the pistol Maravich of the 90s, because both of them pass the ball very cool, But White Chocolate is really useless in other aspects except passing the ball. You can put him ten meters away on the offensive end, as long as you don't let him break through.Everyone says that Kidd doesn't score, but Kidd is simply a super scorer compared to white chocolate.

White Chocolate can send out 5.9 assists in his career, but has 2.1 turnovers. His magnificence is based on turnovers. There is a saying that Jason Williams' passing, sometimes even himself Be lied to.

So this guy will become a shortcoming for the Pacers to break through the Kings in this game. Although it is cruel to Jason Williams in the second grade, the NBA is a world where the weak eat the strong.

"Mark, you don't need to be too selfless in this game. If you have a chance to score in singles, just go for it." Mark Jackson nodded. His scoring dropped to single digits this season, but his assists are thriving in the league. Zhang Tianhe Reggie Miller's super high shooting rate makes Mark Jackson's assists not too comfortable.

Adelman did not give any special instructions to the players. What Zhang Tianlai will face is Nick Anderson, a man with a more tragic background than Starks.

This season Nick Anderson's score has dropped to 10.8 points, which is lower than his rookie period. After being ravaged by the old hooligans and the big dream one after another, he, who was once one of the young magic tridents, is completely sinking down.

All he can rely on now is the defense of his youth, such as the steal in the first game of the 95 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Bulls.Would his life be completely different without that steal?
Looking at No. 25 in front of him, Zhang Tian didn't stick to the defense, but kept a distance from the opponent at all times. Except for Chris Williams, the three perimeters of the Kings were on the three-point line. He doesn't even have the ability to score outside the three-second zone, but Peja does. However, Adelman is still more accustomed to letting the Serbian play as a substitute. He feels that the No. 96 pick in 14 still needs to endure.

Peja is the substitute of Bodi Loga, the fish fry king, in the national team. It has been almost two seasons in the NBA, and he still hasn't got rid of the shadow of the substitute. He has played 30 games this season, and he has started less than 3 times.No one can understand the heart of the Serbs playing on the court.
