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

Chapter 103 The new endorsement and the blown Miller

39 points is Zhang Tian's highest score this season. He is not incapable of scoring high points, but he has no chance. The Pacers have too many scoring points, and he is not the boss. "Son" title, but in fact Zhang Tian did not enjoy too many benefits brought by Larry Bird.

Zhang Tian and his teammates flew to the cornfield overnight on a chartered plane. After three consecutive away games, the Pacers can enjoy a three-day vacation.

The teammates are all gone, but Zhang Tian has arranged himself very well in these three days, especially about the training before, because it is impossible to maintain this kind of high-intensity training in consecutive away games, so now it is necessary to find them all. Can.

The Pacers' ten-game winning streak is something worth celebrating, but they are not the only team in the league that has won consecutive victories. The Zijin Army has won 33 consecutive victories in silence. O'Neal called out breaking team history Zhang Tian knew that the Sharks were just shouting for fun with the 33-game winning streak record. The 33-game winning streak was too difficult to break. The starting lineup of the [-]-game winning streak for the Lakers was almost all top [-] and Hall of Fame-level players. , This kind of lineup will be difficult for you to replicate later.

O’Neal’s dominance this season does not need to be repeated, but it is not enough to rely on him and the other four Lakers players. The current Lakers are not an OK combination, but O and other players. Kobe is still on the road to growth In fact, although he has developed the technique of cross step and turn this season, the actual shooting rate in the game is not high. Kobe's current main scoring method is to break through the inside to score.

Ricky Paul found another endorsement for Zhang Tian. This endorsement comes from the first sports drink developed by Coca-Cola——Aquarius, which is translated into Chinese as Aquarius. Zhang Tian drank it in his previous life. The taste is not bad, sour It's sweet and sour. As for whether it can really relieve fatigue, Zhang Tian doesn't feel it at all.

The quotation given by the other party is US$300 million for three years. This is one of the few endorsements that Zhang Tian has accepted that exceeds seven figures.

During the three-day vacation, Zhang Tian went to the opponent's branch in Indiana to shoot an advertisement, signed the contract, and there was nothing wrong with him, but he must drink this drink during the game in the future, and the bottle can be used well Happy.

Zhang Tian has no problem with this, but he also put forward a special condition, "You guys get all the flavors, I don't want to drink one flavor every game, the reason why Gatorade is uncomfortable That's why."

Aquarius readily agreed. Zhang Tian is their first spokesperson. In fact, Aquarius mainly wants to open the Eastern market. After all, this drink was first developed by Japan, and then it was developed by Coca-Cola. It has been acquired, and this sports drink is currently available in Southeast Asia, South America, and Europe, but it is completely unable to open the market in East Asia.

In order not to let the sports brand of Aquarius be abolished, the person in charge of Coca-Cola chose to sign Zhang Tian, ​​and their next goal has been delineated, which is Yao Ming. As long as Yao Ming is really selected by the NBA team in the summer, Aquarius Sao also sent the endorsement announcement.

During the three-day rest period, after signing Aquarius, Zhang Tian spent the rest of his time training.

On January 1th, the Pacers ushered in a challenge from the Wizards at home. The Wizards are currently 12-12, and there is no hope for the playoffs, but they are not willing to be so bad. After all, the team's paper strength is not bad. , Rock Richmond, Uncle Drew's godfather Rod Strickland, the youthful masked Hamilton, and Uncle Huo, a rare billionaire in the NBA.

But their record is so bad that they didn't even reach 50.00%. The existence of overtime did not show his talent on the coaching bench.

That Finals was also a turning point in NBA history, since then the NBA rules have changed to free throws where the team owns the ball, instead of calling a timeout when you don't have a timeout, you can get the ball with a technical foul right now.

This is the second team led by Garherd. The first team was the Mavericks in the 92-93 season. In 53 games, the opponent brought out an impressive record of 9-44 and was honorably dismissed.

He has been dormant for many years, and he didn't start working in the Wizards until this season, but the Wizards only gave him a one-year contract. What Paulin valued was nothing else. The team is deliberately bad, and if it is intentional, it will definitely not get the No. [-] pick. Therefore, when the Wizards' paper strength is in the middle of the league, it is perfect to find such a head coach with cerebral palsy.After all, the other party didn't lose on purpose, but was really out of their minds.

Zhang Tian is facing Michael Smith in the game, a typical representative of the third position who takes the ball and rushes in. He is a player with outstanding shooting ability in the third position in the 90s. The number position still likes to go inside to break through and cause damage. Just like George Gervin said, my two-point shooting percentage is more than 50.00%, so why should I shoot three-pointers?

Although the current atmosphere is not as disdainful of three-pointers as in the 80s, it is far from the level that everyone pays attention to.

Reggie Miller was suppressed in the face of Richmond. The Rock is completely opposite to Reggie Miller in the NBA. The former is as low-key as the latter.

But being low-key doesn't mean that he has no strength. He is regarded as the most difficult opponent by the old rascal. One is Joe Dumars and the other is Rock.

How to say this guy's type, the single player is a composite of Joe and Pierce, with Pierce's strength and Joe Johnson's shooting, his ball handling ability is second only to Jordan in the same position, but it is a pity that he was taken by the cerebral palsy old Nelson in the Warriors To trade him for Billy Owens, although the latter also has one-handed ball control and is Durant’s childhood idol, but can that be compared with the Rock? Mitchmond’s departure from the Warriors also marks the disintegration of the RUN TMC combination. The combination is the best memory in the hearts of many Bay Area fans.

In this game, the old man Richmond talked about being a teenager, and he taught Reggie Miller, who has been struggling recently, what Miller is most annoying about is the presence of Richmond in the same position, with great strength, Skill is also comprehensive.

Richmond scored 20 of 8 in the game and scored 21 points, while Reggie Miller only had 10 points and 10 of 3, but the Pacers still won the game at home because Zhang Tian relied entirely on his own strength Beat Michael Smith, he made 20 of 11 in the game, 6 of 5 three-pointers, scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. This also helped the Pacers to beat their opponents at home 102:07 .
