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

Chapter 141

Zhang Tian discovered the problem after his improved strength - he can no longer be a team's defensive engineer as willingly as before. The average of 22 shots per game in these few games is a proof.

Larry Bird naturally discovered this, while Rick Carlisle felt that the King of Kings needed to set things right.

"Larry, the current Zhang is a bit swollen. You have to stop it. Indiana is still the number 31 of Reggie. Isn't it too early for Zhang to take over?"

Zhang Tian has made great progress in these few games, but Carlisle's basketball philosophy is unbearable. He is not prejudiced against Zhang Tian, ​​but prejudiced against Zhang Tian's free play style.

The other assistants are not as strong as Carlisle, but their ideas are similar. If a lawless rookie like Zhang Tian is in a bad team during the rebuilding period, it will undoubtedly be excellent. Because that would make the team see hope, but it's a pity that he appeared in the Pacers, a championship-winning team.What the winning team needs is stability.

A champion as strong as James Worthy, who entered the Lakers back then was also a well-behaved younger brother. Why didn't Jerry West choose the essence of human movies? This is also illustrated by Stanley's refusal to go to Salt Lake City to report later.

Zhang Tian is not as sharp-edged as Wilkins, but he is not the kind of James Worthy who can act as a lubricant for the team. Although this guy is Chinese, you can't see the low-key and humble Chinese people at all. He is too aggressive, and he can fight without saying anything, even in the All-Star Game. Fortunately, the opponent is Ma Long. If the one who was thrown was Laettner's model, he would have died on the spot.

"Reggie has no ill feeling towards Zhang. He has no objection to Zhang becoming the new flag of Indiana. Of course, in this league, no one knows what will happen the next day, so if you can win, you don't need to care about it at all. For us, Zhang's increased strength will do more good than harm."

What Larry Bird wants to say is that if he is the owner of the Pacers, he will directly support Zhang Tian next season, but he has a hunch in his heart that Zhang Tian will not stay in the cornfield forever. This is his hometown, but It's not Zhang Tian's.

A day later, the Pacers went to the Motor City to compete with the Pistons. Hill won the last game against Mashburn at home. In this game, he will face Zhang Tian, ​​who suddenly appeared after the All-Star Game The rookie who broke through the shackles is definitely worth watching. For this reason, the NBA specially broadcast the game live, and invited Danny Ainge's partners Hubie Brown and Doug Collins to explain the game.

"Zhang, the performance in these few games reminded me of Larry and Rick in the past."

Hubie Brown, the head coach of the Knicks in the 80s, reacted immediately, but his tone sounded more like finding fault, "Danny, you forgot someone, the king of New York, Bernard King. Don't you think Zhang Is your career similar to his?"

Bernard King, for many fans, this person is far less cognitive than Barry, King of Kings, and even George Gervin, because the opponent's peak period is too short, and he is not like Bill Wharton. Some people won the championship during their peak period, and all he will ever give everyone is endless regrets, such as what height he would have reached if he hadn't been injured. If you insist, this guy is similar to Hill Penny in his previous life. and Maddie.But the age is different.

Angie didn't answer the call. He and Larry Bird had a good relationship in private. Although Larry Bird and Refrigerator and Parish were the Big Three, the king didn't like those two, especially Refrigerator.

Compared with the previous starters sent by Alvin Gentry, there is one more teammate Leitner from the Silduk period, the lying win king of the Dream Team.

Lindsay Hunter, Jerry Stackhouse, Grant Hill, Terry Mills and Christian Laettner are the lineup sent by Gentry. If Lindsay Hunter is replaced by Kidd, Nash, Zhang Tianzhen I thought it was the Suns, because their lineup didn't play. The shelling is really a waste.

The Pistons, No. 33, received the ball from Lindsay Hunter at the beginning of the game. At this time, he was stuck outside the paint by Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian knew how Hill played. But the opponent's scoring point is in the penalty area, inside, maybe he is more like Dr. J's successor, he has an extraordinary first step, and his physical fitness has exploded.

Rick Barry was able to become a superstar in his era, and all aspects of his body were definitely not covered, so facing the impact of Grant Hill, Zhang Tian dealt with it very easily, at least easier than imagined, and Hill's fake action did not sway Zhang Tian, ​​and his current choice is only one - three-point shots from the outside. This season, Hill's three-point shooting percentage is 34, but he only takes [-] shots per game, so Zhang Tian is not afraid of him at all. .If he really voted, his goal has been achieved.

Hill didn't do that. He chose to pass the ball to Jerry Stackhouse near the penalty area. Junior brother Jordan got the ball, and a small hook gave Hill an assist. This The tragic man who fought against Kobe many times and only allowed the latter to win once, his offensive methods are very comprehensive, but that time let a lot of literature and marketing make Kobe ravage the opponent, and follow Kobe behind the Lakers. Like Ryder.

Hill's pass made Doug Collins very embarrassed. As the head coach who has been No. 33, when he was in the Pistons, Hill was more responsible for scoring. This kind of pass is rare, although Hill The assist book is not ugly every year.

Mark Jackson chose to break through Lindsay Hunter directly, and Jerry Stackhouse didn't care about the big ass. The big butt hit two points from the middle distance.

The Pistons attacked, and the ball was handed over to Hill. Zhang Tian still used his size advantage to squeeze the space, but Hill completed a turn and breakthrough this time, but his ball was caught by Pacers No. 7 during the turn. intercepted down.

After Zhang Tian made the steal, he quickly came to the Pistons' half to score.Hill pursed his lips. This rookie seemed to be more difficult to deal with than before.

Hill's offensive options began to change. He didn't continue to let Lindsay Hunter give the ball to him. Jerry Stackhouse became the receiver, and Jordan got the ball. It's a bit of an old hooligan. , Let the four teammates pull apart, single Reggie Miller, after pulling the ball back and forth, finally choose to shoot at the top of the arc, this is a very common choice, Duang, the ball is also very shameless, the rebound Laettner wants Going to fight, but Rick Schmitz got the rebound with his wingspan and threw it directly. The Pacers No. 31 dribbled the ball across half court and scored.
