Chapter 139 Rick Barry Star Card

And taking advantage of the expiry date of the transaction, finally three teams couldn’t bear it anymore. These three teams are the Warriors, Philadelphia and the Bulls. The specific transaction plan is as follows: the Bulls send Tony Kukoc to Philadelphia, and the Warriors send John Starks, Adonal Foyle to Bulls, Philadelphia sends Bruce Bowen to Bulls, Larry Hughes, Billy Owens to Warriors.The biggest difference between this transaction and the historical space is that the Warriors did not send this year's first-round pick, but sent Adonal Foyle, a blue-collar insider.

And Gary Tujian, the general manager of the Warriors, still plans to give it a go in the summer. After all, this year is the "big year" of the draft.This deal did not attract Popovich's so-called robbery. The other party silently recovered from Zhang Tianli's beating, but except for the Spurs fans, no one else paid attention at all.

Larry Bird just took a look at this deal. Kukoc’s going to Philadelphia is not a good choice, because Larry Brown is not Phil Jackson, not to mention that he is not in his prime now, and he is only here for the season. In the post-game, there are multiple offenses, and the point of handling the ball. The Croatian can currently be favored by Larry Brown, and this is the only move.

The Pacers have six games left in February, and the schedule is fine for them.On Zhang Tian's side, he received a system reward - a certain star peak card. He is very worried now because his non-chief temperament is too strong.

"System, can I choose to let others extract it for me?"

"No, because only the host can see it in this system, and others can't. The system suggests that the host should draw the player's peak card as soon as possible, which will also help the host's personal strength."

Zhang Tian could only close his eyes resignedly to his fate, and then chose to draw, "Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the Rick Barry star card for the 66-67 season, and the rank of the card is SR."

SR?Is it so cool? Zhang Tian couldn’t help but click on this star card and look at it. First of all, the technical aspects are 72 three-pointers, 88 assists, 114 two points, 96 free throws, 90 rebounds, 75 steals, 66 blocks, and 108 physical fitness. , Bounce 81, reaction 85, agility 85, speed 86, burst 87, strength 85, the overall attribute is S+, in addition to this, it also rewards three skills: [-]-step piercer, two-point expert and defensive tearer.

But Zhang Tian found a problem, "Why is Rick Barry's peak card not SS+, but just an S+?"

"Because this season is the opponent's peak season, but according to the system's data on his body, this is not his peak moment, so I can only give an S+ as a compromise."

Can I rely on this? Zhang Tianfu, but he still chose to use Rick Barry's card, after all, his own style of play is very similar to Barry's.

Perhaps the system is right. Many people say that Tracy McGrady is the most talented person in the NBA, and Rick Barry is a healthy version of Tracy McGrady in Zhang Tian’s view. Two finals and one championship are examples. The 66-67 season is The day when he led the team to the finals for the first time, it was a pity that Rick Barry lost to the former Warriors boss Chamberlain in the finals. The record of averaging 28.5 rebounds per game during the game is even harder to break than the record of scoring average in the finals of the old hooligans.

However, it was also the setback in the Finals that sublimated Rick Barry's basketball philosophy and paved the way for the subsequent sweep of the Washington Bullets in the Finals.

This star card is not so difficult for Zhang Tian to adapt to. On the contrary, it is the fastest one to adapt to. Zhang Tian feels that the biggest change between himself and before is the feeling of the ball. From the fingertips to every corner of the body.It's so comfortable.So with such a silky touch, Rick Barry still uses such an ugly free throw posture, it can only be said that this superstar is really painful.

On February 2th, the Pacers came to Madison Square Garden with the name of the boss of the Eastern Conference, and there was good news from the Pacers. Antonio Davis, who had been injured for almost a season, was finally here In the first game, he was included in the rotation list, which made Battelle feel envious and jealous.

The Knicks have just won their 30th game. Their record is still good, but compared to the visiting Pacers, New York fans still think of their team, why not.

"Rookie, although you are very good at playing, I want to tell you that your myth will end with me in this game, just like the last game, I ravaged that rookie from Minnesota."

John Wallace has been in good form recently. He has replaced Charlie Ward as Fan’s new son. He defended Wallis Zebiak only 10-for-1 in the last game. This is the key to the Knicks’ victory over the Timberwolves. .

Zhang Tian chewed his gum, "Well, you can do whatever you want, I'm looking forward to it."

As a New York point guard, Madman is naturally aggressive. He has no pressure to pass Mark Jackson, but Zhang Tian does not help defend. The Knicks feel insulted at the first position. He chooses a mid-range jumper. The ball flew into the net, and the New York defender looked at Zhang Tian and wiped his throat.

Mark Jackson gave the ball to Zhang Tian, ​​Zhang Tian got the ball, and John Wallace wanted to cling to him, but Zhang Tian didn't give him a chance at all, just relying on his existing speed to force the opponent and pass the ball. Losing the Knicks' third position, he made a mid-range shot, and the ball slowly fell from the basket without a trace of waves.

"That's it, do you defend with your mouth?"

Xiao Fan was very angry, what did John Wallace do? Just now Zhang Tian passed the gate of his striker without doing anything at all. Xiao Fan felt that Zhang Tian was very different from before on the sidelines. This difference is not It's not about the style of play, but about the temperament.

Before Zhang Tian gave you the feeling that he was a star of tomorrow, but the ball just now really looked like a superstar.No, how is this possible? An illusion, it must be an illusion. This guy hasn't even finished a season yet, so it's impossible for him to rise so fast.

Larry Bird showed a gratified smile on the sidelines. Zhang Tian seemed to have broken through the rookie wall and reached a new level, which is crucial for the Pacers.

John Wallace has completely become Zhang Tian's background board. Zhang Tian didn't take a single three-point shot in the first quarter, and all four of his shots were inside the paint. A foul, 10 of 4. This play is very nice.

"Watfak, Zhang, you don't know how to exchange souls with Alan, how do you feel that you are the king of CIC?"

Dominique Wilkins yelled off the court, and he completely became a fan of Zhang Tian.In this quarter, Zhang Tian used his shots to make the entire Madison fans turn against him quickly.
