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

Chapter 119 Mom's Phone Call and Team Trading
Philadelphia No. [-], who lost the game, was not reconciled. He played this game at a level that exceeded the current average shooting percentage, but he just didn't win. Was it because he didn't try his best or was the other teammates letting go?

Larry Brown kept emphasizing the scale of the referee in the press conference after the game. If Dick Bavita heard it, he would definitely not mind beating him up. The Pacers made 21 free throws in this game. What about Philadelphia? , a full 32 times, you made eleven more free throws than the opponent and didn't win the game. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?
Of course, the reporters still threw more questions to Zhang Tian. After this rookie entered the year of 30, he completely let himself go. It is the only one, even if it is the champion Lang Brand, although he averages 20+ per game, but the number of 30+ games can be counted on one hand.

Zhang Tian is the rookie with the most 30+ points in this year's rookie list. He is second only to Brand on the current rookie list. Ship, it was a struggle during this period, because other than himself, the other Clippers players didn't want to win at all. They thought more about collecting statistics, getting contracts, and leaving the broken ship to go to the Lakers next door, or the Big Apple City.

There are three games remaining throughout January, two of which are back-to-backs.

And before you know it, the Spring Festival is approaching.It's a pity that Zhang Tian won't be able to pass the Spring Festival, because on the Spring Festival day, he happened to have a back-to-back match.

"Mom, I can't go back for the Spring Festival, what? You want to come over? Don't, don't, don't."

Zhang Tian received a horrifying news on the phone—my mother actually planned to go to the cornfield to spend the Spring Festival with him.

"My plane ticket has been booked. I want to visit your daughter-in-law's parents during this time."

Zhang Tian had a black line on his face on the phone, where did this come from? He and Lu Wanwan are currently in a passionate relationship. As for talking about marriage, isn't it too early?

It's a pity that my mother Zhao Shiyu's temper, Zhang Tian knows too well, she is a master who says what she says.At home, grandma is the first, and she can be ranked second with grandpa.

"Then dad is coming too, he's so busy with work..."

"Working is not as important as my son's lifelong event, don't think about it, play well, don't fight anymore, you know, hey, I really regret that I didn't stop you from learning from your grandpa when you were young. effort."

When Zhang Tian was young, his physique was not very good. In order to make this little grandson better, the old man of the Zhang family took great pains to take Zhang Tian to boxing every day. After practicing for a few years, Zhang Tian's body is also stronger than ordinary people. Yes, the most obvious difference is that those little friends who bullied him in kindergarten have completely become his followers when they go to school.

Of course, the kung fu that Zhang Tian learned is not about being able to fly over walls in martial arts novels, but for strengthening his body, and what he learned is the castrated version, the real killer move, his grandfather did not teach him at all, because his grandfather said that martial arts is to use Those who come to kill people are not at all what those gaudy masters on TV are currently performing.

Everything that Zhang Tian showed was just the tip of the iceberg. If Popovich didn't dare to provoke again, Zhang Tian wouldn't mind teaching him an unforgettable lesson.But it's hard, that Popovich guy is a typical bully and fears the tough. After suffering such a big loss, he doesn't dare to do it again in a short time, unless he really doesn't want to mess around.

Zhang Tian hung up his mother's phone and went to training, and the team began to integrate the lineup.

The goal chosen by Donny Walsh and Larry Bird is the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets' record this season is slightly better than last season, but it is still difficult to make it to the playoffs.So don't take advantage of the bad deal, wait until the end of the season is too late, this year is the year of the draft, Dan Issel is very hot.

"No, Ron is not for sale. We can use James, Roy and a second round, what do you think?" Dan Issel was arguing with Larry Bird, and the general manager, Donnie Walsh, seemed like It's a display.

"We only need Ron and Chauncey. You must know that Dan and Derek are still capable. He has been selected to several defensive lineups, but he has no place in our team, but it is definitely not a loss for you. ’” Larry Bird started talking so much that he almost called Derek McKay Scottie Pippen.

Dan Issel covets Derek McKay very much, because the latter completely fits his bad personality, and any good seed he gets in the draft can also be a good deputy next to him. Can live on the defensive end.

"But we are still at a loss. You have to add someone."

Larry Bird pretended to think for a while, "You can choose one of Austin and Theodoros. But if you choose Austin, you will also be given a first-round pick."

Dan Issel nodded, Austin Crohill and Theodoros Papalucas, one is the patron saint of the Pacers water fountain, and the other is a backup point guard. There are already several players in the Nuggets. He is an insider, and there are substitutes in the fourth and fifth positions. It is not worth trading Austin Crohill to be the water dispenser manager.

"That's Derek McKay, plus Theodoros Papalucas, plus a second-round pick the year after next."

Larry Bird nodded. After a lot of wrangling, he finally got the players he wanted, Ron Moser and Chauncey Billups. In fact, he was more optimistic about the latter. , although it is currently being questioned as a parallel importer and is in a state of disrepute, but Larry Bird has an intuition that this guy's future prospects will be very good, so if I don't get him when I buy the bottom, it will be too difficult to get him in the future up.

And Mark Jackson is a first-line point guard, but not a top point guard. Chauncey Billups has the potential to become that top point guard, even though he has been wasted for more than two seasons.

As for Ron Moser, that's a bonus. The other party is the kind of jack-of-all-trades player. Anyway, it's definitely not a loss to use Derek McKay to trade such an extra head.

At this time, the Greek and Derek McKay were both happy in the nightclub, but the phone call from the manager made them both lose their happy mood at all.

Although Cornfield is not a big ball market, it is much stronger than the Mile High city of Denver, the city with the highest altitude in the NBA, and no one wants to go there.
