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

Chapter 114
I don't know if Larry Brown can hear what the smiling assassin said. Anyway, in this game, one of the representatives of the academic head coaches doesn't want to lose.

He wants to beat the Pacers with his own hands, proving that it was a mistake to fire himself in the summer of the 96-97 season, and the Simon Brothers must pay the price for their arrogance.

Larry Bird, a native of Indiana, Larry Brown is very repulsive. Although they both have the same name, Larry Brown always feels that he was kicked away by the Pacers back then, and this guy must have participated behind it. After all, the other party except Boston In addition to the famous basketball star, his influence in the Indiana basketball circle is also unquestionable. He brought the low-level Indiana State University into the finals of the elite game. Just ask if you are strong, although there is no counterattack led by Magician. The Michigan Spartans won the championship, which is surprising enough.Because Larry Bird really hits nines.

So when Larry Bird became the head coach of the Pacers, the entire Indiana state was in a welcoming state. Although there are many ncaa basketball powerhouses in this state, except for the Indiana University Mountain Rangers, other universities are very average. Whether it is Butler The Bulldogs are also the Purdue Boilermakers.

Larry Brown has always felt that he has lost in his account, not in ability. If he is not a New Yorker, but a local like Larry Bird, the result will be completely different.After all, the other party was a rookie before, and there was no way to compare with him.

Larry Bird knew Larry Brown's disdain for him, which was revealed last season, and after a few rounds with the Pacers, the old-school head coach calmed down.

Therefore, in this game, the Pacers must continue to maintain this momentum. Their lineup did not exceed their expectations.

Eric Snow, Iverson, George Lynch, Tyrone Hill, Theo Ratliff, the Pacers are Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Zhang Tian, ​​Jermaine O and Rick Schmitz.

At the beginning of the game, during the jump ball, the shot blocker relied on the small movement of the Dutchman to give the ball to Snow, but the bald referee No. 27 next to the player chose to turn a blind eye.

Snow went to the frontcourt, did nothing, buried his head and threw the ball to AI. As the No. In the draft, there will be a guard named Jamal Crawford who also does not like to train, but it is almost impossible for him to reach the height of Iverson, although the opponent's level is also very high on the ball-handling end.

Zhang Tian is defending Iverson. The difference in height between the two is almost 183 centimeters. He is still 179. Looking at it from a close distance, Iverson is only 78, just like Daben’s official height of 206. , In fact, he has 196, which is not bad, and Iverson is more reliable than Big Ben.

Skillfully controlling the ball back and forth, Zhang Tian did not try to steal. He was waiting for Iverson to break through, because after Larry Brown became the head coach of Philadelphia, Iverson rarely shot outside. An iron-blooded coach, he pays more attention to confrontation, so the opponent encourages Iverson to break through inside, or after breaking through, shoot mid-range shots, just don't shoot three-pointers, shooting three-pointers is heresy.

The number of three-pointers in Philadelphia has decreased year by year from 16 when Iverson first entered the league. Now the average is only 7.9 times per game, which is not even half of what it was four years ago.

This is Larry Brown, an old guy who has studied defense to the extreme. Compared with his apprentice Popovich, his luck is a bit worse, because the opponent has not encountered Tim Duncan's big legs that are rare in a century. Cornerstone.

Iverson dribbled for a long time, and after the tentative step, he broke through from the right side. As for why it was the right side, because Iverson is not a player with balanced hands, and there are not many players with balanced hands in the entire league.

Zhang Tian exerted his speed to the extreme, and his whole body moved laterally to the right side to the maximum extent, but he still couldn’t prevent it. Iverson successfully broke through Zhang Tian’s defense and came to the inside to prepare to shoot. Reggie Miller pounced Going up, but Iverson still chose to shoot. Under Miller's delay, Duang was born with a piece of fine steel and good iron, and the rebound jumped out. George Lynch, the guy who entered the league as Pippen's successor, stood still. , but Zhang Tian jumped up behind him, took the rebound off his head, and threw it into the opponent's half.

Gay's bouncing quality was fully reflected at this moment. Larry Brown on the sidelines opened his mouth wide open, and he could even swallow the glasses on the bridge of his nose if he could.

Zhang Tian's physical fitness is better than the average Chinese, Larry Brown knows this, but he didn't expect Zhang Tian's physical fitness to be so good.

Reggie Miller picked up his speed and completed the fast break, but no one in Philadelphia chased him because they didn't react immediately.

Philadelphia's second-down, First Union Center fans rose from their seats as they began chanting each player's name.

Eric Snow got to the front and wanted to hand the ball to Iverson, but Zhang Tian used a method similar to "going around" to cover the middle of the passing route.

Snow did not hesitate, he chose to drop the ball to Iverson. At the moment he lobbed the ball, Zhang Tian ran towards Iverson and took off with one foot at the same time, because Iverson also jumped up, he leaned on The wide palm caught the ball immediately, but a guy wearing a yellow No. 7 jersey lay across in front of him, slammed, swung his arms, and hit the ball with a volleyball combat defense.

Dick Bavita has always been with Iverson and Zhang Tian. He saw the ball very clearly. Zhang Tian did not foul, so Philadelphia just got the ball.

"Zhang, did you do the opposite at the beginning? It's interesting. Philadelphia was actually blocked by what they are best at. How are they going to break it?" Isiah Thomas called loudly.

Theo Ratliff sent the ball to point guard Snow on the sideline, Philadelphia's No. 21 got the ball, made a breakthrough, came to the inside line, and sent the ball into the basket with a high throw. It's very hanging, because it is a swipe shot, and the swipe shot is currently not so proficient in the league except for San Antonio's No. [-].

Mark Jackson did not act as a "point guard" like Snow. When he arrived in the Philadelphia halftime, he had already figured out how to play. He pouted his giant buttocks behind him and gave Snow behind him a shot. Duang , The Philadelphia defender almost fell to the ground, he gritted his teeth and persisted, now there is a five-second rule, if this big ass dares to play like this in surprise, he will die early.
