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

Chapter 137 The Postman's Appreciation, Raptors Attack
Zhang Tian's first All-Star trip was even more legendary than Jordan's. By defeating Ma Long, he let people in the league see the lethality of this Eastern striker.

Many NBA players have started to speak out, such as Charles Oakley, a well-known blue-collar star in the NBA who fights more than plays.

"Zhang, you did a good job. A man should put all his tricks on the surface like Zhang did, instead of playing dirty tricks behind his back."

Oakley was Jordan's guard in the Bulls, and later became the absolute core of Riley's New York gang in the Knicks. The deterrence was even more terrifying than Lambiel's time in Detroit. After all, Lambiel occasionally scored. Oakley He put all his energy into fighting with the opponent.

The two parties involved, Zhang Tian and Ma Long, did not express any opinions. Zhang Tian's opinion was similar to that of Oakley. Apart from this, Ma Long was too weak. Ma Long's physical fitness is perfect in all aspects.

Ma Long felt that he had lost his adulthood. After returning to Salt Lake City, he locked himself at home and watched the replay of the All-Star game dozens of times.

It made Sloan wonder if his disciple was bewildered. Sloan's love for Utah Shuangsha is obvious, especially for Malone, who is similar to his son. Of course, the latter is not like Deron. Push your nose up to your face.So after Malone's last big contract in his previous life ended and he signed a basic salary with the Lakers, except for the retired Stockton, Sloan understood Malone as a disciple. To some extent, Sloan appreciated Malone Much larger than Stockton, because Malone is the man who determines the upper limit of Salt Lake City.As for Stockton, to put it bluntly, if Malone's partner was Kevin Johnson and the Beatles, they might have won the championship. It is because he is Stockton that the Jazz did not win the championship.

"Carl, what's wrong with you, I heard from Casey that you haven't come out in the room alone for several days, except for eating and sleeping, you are watching the All-Star video."

Sloan was talking there, and Ma Long moved the video to the scene where Zhang Tian was confronting him. Ma Long had watched this place countless times.Slow down, this time Malone finally saw it clearly, "Huh, I didn't lose wrongly, that Indiana kid is really not a good existence, he is really more difficult to deal with than Bill and Charles, no wonder San Antonio's That old man will be fixed."

After watching it countless times, Ma Long finally discovered the scene where Zhang Tian dodged his elbow and then counterattacked instantly. This whole action gave the postman the feeling of a fighting game, because in reality, there are no basketball players at all. Being able to dodge his elbow in the first moment, of course his elbow was just a feint, but even so, he lost to this rookie.

"Coach, this rookie is really better than the little Russian guy we selected, so it's not surprising that the latter lost to the opponent in the World Youth Championship. His reflexes can be said to be the most invincible existence in the field of sports. , Sometimes I can't even dodge my elbows, but he can, he is really a terrible guy, I really want to fight him again."

Seeing that Malone was fine, Sloan also let go of his heart, "Andre is not as good as this guy in some aspects, but he is too stupid. His style of play has no one's main idea except Larry Bird. The coach can bear it." Of course, what Sloan wants to say is that we can't choose even if we want to, and Zhang Tian's performance in the trial training should not be too amazing.

This fighting incident did not cause much commotion. Zhang Tian and Ma Long did not become enemies like he and the Spurs and Popovich. An opponent that can be fought against, although this opponent's reaction is a bit sharp.

After all, although Malone's style of play is dirty, it is definitely not aimed at hurting people and making you lose your job. His elbow is just a means of intimidation, not a weapon. It is different from the Greek stepping monster behind. , the other party brought down the ratings of the NBA Finals infinitely when Zhang Tian was reborn.

On February 2th, the Pacers ushered in a challenge from the Raptors at home. The Raptors currently have a record of 16-27. Jaylen Rose's performance in the Raptors was not particularly satisfactory. Butch Carter completely used him as a sapper.

The Raptors' starting lineup is like this, point guard Curry, shooting guard Jaylen Rose, small forward Vince Carter, power forward Jonathan Bender, and center Charles Oakley.The man who supported Zhang Tian off the court is now an opponent, but this still does not prevent the fighting king and Zhang Tian from getting close.

"Zhang, I heard that you taught those guys some tricks during the offseason, how about me."

Let me go, you are already the king of fighters, if you learn one and a half moves, other players in the NBA will not be able to survive.

"Okay, I have no problem."

In addition to Oakley, Carter also greeted Zhang Tian, ​​"Zhang, do you want to compare who has more dunks in this game?"

Compete with you for dunking, am I full? If it is when the task is completed, it is not a big deal, but the problem is that it still shows that the task has not been completed.

This made Zhang Tian a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He had already faced three of the four great beasts, and McGrady was a substitute in this game. Anyway, Butch Carter just didn't like this kid who likes to squint. up.As for Toronto fans?Everyone only has No. 15 in their eyes, although McGrady came a year earlier than the other party.

Although McGrady had some contact with Zhang Tian during the All-Star period, he didn't go to say hello in this game, and Zhang Tian did the same. He didn't feel bad for McGrady, but he couldn't say he liked it either.

In fact, there are many good people on the Raptors' bench, in addition to McGrady, there is also Christie, but this defensive champion is still suppressed by Jaylen Rose, Zhang Tian doesn't understand, how does this Jaylen Rose compare to those two He is strong, although in the finals of the previous life, this guy played well, but so what, isn't the winner still the Lakers?
When Carter came up, he was not ambiguous. Taking the ball was to force Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian took small steps and judged Carter's actions, but the latter directly chose to pass the ball. Oakley scored inside. Rick Schmitz did not Dare to move, because he has been beaten by the former, and there are really few people in the NBA who have not been beaten by Oakley.

On the Pacers side, Mark Jackson broke through Curry and his father was like playing. He didn't even poke his ass. , Carter's defensive awareness is not as good as his cousin.Among the four shooting guards, Iverson's defense is impossible to reach a high level because of his physical talent, while Carter can only be considered average.
