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

Chapter 116 The Mind of the Smiling Assassin, Halftime Ends
Larry Brown is a head coach who can tolerate a player who is 20-for-0 on the offensive end, but can't make a defensive mistake. This guy is as weird as Don Nelson, but unfortunately the latter was not as lucky as him in his previous life.Because of too many bold experiments, he missed the championship again and again.

Aaron McGee understands what Larry Brown means. In the limited playing time, he must show his value, otherwise he will be really suppressed by George Lynch until he dies.The gap between the bench and the starting lineup is huge. Not to mention that there are superstars on the bench, most of them are starters.

The biggest difference between McGee and George Lynch is that he has a basket on the outside. After the opponent enters the court, he can echo Snow on the outside, so that the Pacers will not shrink the inside.

In the next attack, the future best sixth man used the cover of his teammates to step on the three-point line and score two points.

The point difference was narrowed to four points, Mark Jackson pushed forward, Iverson suddenly appeared near the center line, he wanted to steal, the Pacers point guard reacted very quickly at the first time, a fast behind the ball, but just before After he finished, Dick Bavita blew the whistle-the ball returned to the line, this time Mark Jackson lost his mind because he was too anxious, Iverson didn't come up to steal at all, he just wanted to make the opponent Mistake, possession of the ball.

However, the Pacers No. [-] position is a weather-beaten figure after all, and his mentality has not been affected by this. In the second quarter, it is no longer Zhang Tian who is facing Iverson, but a regular match.

Mark Jackson and Iverson switched offense and defense. Iverson easily passed Mark Jackson. After coming to the inside, Zhang Tian made up the defense. The pass found Aaron McGee, who made another shot at the position where he scored last time, swiped, and the ball scored again.

With two points left, Larry Brown was very excited on the sidelines. Larry Bird didn't call a timeout. Mark Jackson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt this time, but Iverson didn't steal it again.

After he came to Philadelphia halftime, he just turned around, big ass, hard ass, Iverson, Duang, although the strength and confrontation of the AI ​​​​are good, but it is still a bit worse than Barkley on the back line, the two of them are not at all A number of ways.

Mark Jackson pushed Iverson into the paint, and after turning around for four seconds, he almost violated the law again. Iverson pounced on him. He felt that the Pacers guard was going to shoot, but Mark Jackson's hands were in the middle. The direction suddenly changed in the air, and with a whoosh, the ball flew towards the basket.

The entire Philadelphia restricted area was in a panic. With a bang, a guy wearing the yellow number 20 of the visiting team fell from the sky and pushed the ball into the basket above Tyrone Hill's head.

This 95-year All-Star substitute, who was rated as one of the 100 ugliest athletes in history, didn't shout at Xiao Ao. This guy is a bit like Zhao Chuan's song titled "I'm ugly, but I very gentle".

If the ball is replaced by Minnesota's No. 21, even if he doesn't play Jermaine O'Neill, he will definitely say something verbally.

Damn, when did Mark Jackson, the bastard pass, get so creative?I also brought this product back then, but Larry Brown didn't like Mark Jackson, because the opponent always liked to defend himself tactically, as if the opponent was the head coach.

After Philadelphia played Aaron McGee, it really gave Iverson a great buffer to break through in the interior, but he and Snow opened, but Zhang Tian and Reggie Miller on the opposite side also opened.

In the next round, Zhang Tian received a pass from Mark Jackson and found that Aaron McGee was about half a step away from him, and he directly shot a three-pointer from the outside.

Larry Brown's mouth twitched while watching from the sidelines. This style of play is too messy and unreasonable, right? Larry Bird doesn't care?The former looked at Larry Bird on the opposite side, while the latter sat firmly on the Diaoyutai with a calm face, brushed, the ball was scored, Zhang Tian scored in double figures, and also scored the second goal of this quarter. a three-pointer.

The score was drawn instantly. Larry Brown didn't call a timeout. He knew that calling a timeout wouldn't solve any problems. Iverson chose a three-pointer from the outside and also scored.This is pure personal ability.

Iverson continued his life for Philadelphia, but Larry Brown's expression was not very relaxed. When the No. [-] core passed by him, Larry Brown asked again, "Allen, don't waste time on the outside, you Go inside and kill me."

Iverson didn't refute anything. Larry Brown's current configuration for Philadelphia revolves around him. If he collapses, the game is over.

After that, Iverson stopped shooting from the outside, unless it was that kind of wide open. At other times, he passed the Pacers' defender to go inside, and then there was a second defender waiting for him.

In the half, Iverson scored 22 points, 16 of 9, and his shooting percentage was very good, but Philadelphia was still behind. They scored 52 points in two quarters, but the Pacers on the opposite side scored 59 points. Didn't break 60 points, but scored 59 points on Philadelphia at halftime, which few teams in the league can do.

Zhang Tian scored 15 points in the half, including 3 three-pointers in the second quarter, and Reggie Miller 18 points. Together, they scored more than half of the team's points in the half.

And in this half of the game, Reggie Miller has completely come out of the haze of the previous two games. Philadelphia's outside defense is not bad, but they lack the defensive skills like Ray Allen and Richmond in the previous two games. Both on the offensive end and the Pacers' No. 34, Iverson can fight Reggie Miller on the offensive end, but not on the defensive end. Snow can defend but not attack.

Larry Brown was very painful, especially when he saw Larry Bird enter the visiting team lounge with a sullen face, the anger of the head coach of the home team continued to rise.

"Reggie really stood up again with Zhang's help, but he has to overcome his weakness and fear of strength. If he can't overcome it, even if the Pacers enter the finals this season, they have little hope of winning the championship." Isaiah Thomas, as an Indiana star at the same level as Larry Bird, has the same high expectations for Reggie Miller as Larry Bird. Of course, Isiah Thomas does not want his hometown team to win the championship in his heart, because if After winning the championship, it will be infinitely more difficult to apply for a head coach. As the head coach of the Pacers, the first thing to face is to defend the title. Smiling Assassin thinks it is too tricky.
