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

Chapter 156 Sweeping the Bucks with the Agreement with the King

So it seems that Zhang Tian's 43 points are worth more, and Zhang Tian is the youngest 40-pointer in NBA history, but the playoffs are fierce, and the Pacers have always played the role of villains, which led to the fact that in the league There are very few fans. The Detroit Bad Boys successfully broke the monopoly of the Lakers, so they are respected by people. However, the Pacers have been unable to cross the fish pond in the East for so many years.

This year may be their most promising year. Motorola, who signed the contract with Zhang Tian, ​​is very excited. The first-generation flip phone of Motorola endorsed by Zhang Tian, ​​​​because of his performance, sales have risen in a straight line. Let’s see Zhang Tian now. The sneaker brand of the day was chosen.

Zhang Tian's score did not cause much shock in the basketball circle, but the endorsement dealers have already secretly started preparations. Whether it is Nike or Adidas, they have withdrawn their previous offers and plan to wait for this season. After the end, make a new quotation.

The MVP was also awarded at this time, and it was Shaquille O'Neal who won the award. Although the Pacers are the first in the regular season and not the Lakers, no one can deny the dominance of this big man, and if the Pacers give it to Miller, they will definitely win A large number of fans were dissatisfied. It is estimated that if the MVP is awarded to him on the front foot, some fans will send bullets to Stern on the back foot.

The fans of Miller and the Pacers were very resentful. They felt that they were neglected. Zhang Tian suddenly felt that this place in the cornfield will never find the feeling of being the master, because their flag is the number 31. You Seeing that I scored 43 points, but everyone didn't discuss it much. On the contrary, Reggie Miller's [-] points in the fourth quarter were talked about.

No one likes to be a supporting role. When Zhang Tian is not strong enough, he is willing to be the green leaf beside Miller, but now he is no longer what he used to be. Should he continue to be his little brother?
The second game was won, but everyone was talking about Miller. They seemed to have forgotten who scored 28 points in the first three quarters, and who finished with 15 points in a single quarter.

Zhang Tian's mood is very ugly, Larry Bird seems to have noticed the abnormality of his "godson".
'Zhang, stop practicing, come and sit for a while. "Larry Bird came over with two bottles of water. He knew that Zhang Tian was a very self-disciplined guy, and he didn't drink those drinks very much on weekdays.

Zhang Tian took the water, unscrewed the cap and poured it into his mouth. "Zhang, do you feel that Reggie is covering up his own light?"

Is the king really aware of it? Maybe he is not the only one who is aware of it. Rick Carlisle, that basketball idiot, is right. One day he will let the team make a choice for him to choose Miller. I never thought that this day would come so soon.

Zhang Tian just nodded, but did not speak. Cornfield is not a big ball market, but overall it is still very good. Zhang Tian has gradually gotten used to the life here.

Seeing Zhang Tian nodding, Larry Bird felt a little sour in his heart, as if the little cabbage he had worked so hard to raise was about to be ganged up by a pig.

"Coach, if you can wait for the end of the season to trade me, I think with the halo of a championship, I can maximize my personal value."

Zhang Tian directly showed his cards to Larry Bird. The king is the only person in the team who can confide in his heart. He really treats himself like a son. Perhaps it is because his children's basketball genes are average, so part of his emotions It's all pinned on Zhang Tian.

It's no secret that Larry Bird will become the general manager next season, and he's not the general manager. Didn't he also get Jr. and Ben and others this season? Donnie Walsh is just a display, but With the title of best general manager, he can go to other teams to continue to make money, just like having the best head coach can make all kinds of bad money.

Bi Wang patted Zhang Tian on the shoulder, "Okay, if we can win the championship next time, I will help you find a good team to display your talent."

Zhang Tian took another sip of water, "Don't worry, coach, if the Pacers don't win the championship, I won't leave unless you take the initiative to trade me. I hope your coaching career will end with a championship just like your career .”

It's better to say more of this kind of beautiful words, because Bi Wang is a veritable tsundere, and this is what he likes to hear the most. In Zhang Tian's heart, this person is more difficult to serve than Lu Wanwan.

Larry Bird was very happy. He told Zhang Tian that this was their secret, and no one could tell it.

Of course, it is better for Zhang Tian to speak out by himself than to tell him after he is traded, because Larry Bird knows that none of the current potential head coach candidates for the Pacers is someone who can tolerate Zhang Tian's style of play.

So in case Zhang Tian can't go, then the Pacers head coach should find someone to choose. As for the battle between Zhang Tian and Reggie Miller, it is a healthy competition.You won't lose the game for malicious scoring.

At eight o'clock in the evening on April 4, more than 29 spectators at the Bradley Center came to cheer for the home team. They knew that it was time to fight to the death.

Carl still didn't adjust the starting lineup because he really couldn't adjust. Tim Thomas scored 19 points in the last game, but his role on the defensive end is really not necessarily better than Darwin Hamm.

Zhang Tian came up with an inward cut breakthrough from the left side and put the ball into the basket with a backhand. This time he did not shoot on the spot, which caught Ray Allen by surprise. The big dog just looked at it in the restricted area, angry. Lei Allen almost turned into Yue Buqun and hacked him to death all at once.

But the Big Dog’s offense in the first quarter was good. He scored 8 of 6 and scored 12 points higher than the entire game in the previous game. This is good news for the Bucks. His aggressiveness means the game There is a chance to win.

In the case of Xiao Ao's defensive disadvantage, Larry Bird immediately replaced Xiao Ao with Daben, and at the same time the inside became Cato. As for Rick Schmitz, let's go down and rest. The two who came up have nothing else. , The strength is a lot, the big dog can only throw farther and farther, and the farther and farther it throws.

Glenn Robinson changed his style of play so that the two cores on the back line could only bury their heads and rush inside. As a result, when they reached the penalty area, they were either knocked off because they couldn't see anything, or they were hot potted.

The combination of Cato and Big Ben is completely overflowing in terms of defensive ability. In the third away game, the Pacers did not attack aggressively, but played defense instead. The Bucks could not hold on at all. Ah, although the Big Dog and Ray Allen both scored 20+, they still lost 109:96 at home. Zhang Tian scored 17 points in 12 of 30 in this game, and Reggie Miller scored 27 points in 13 of 34. With the two cores playing like this, the Milwaukees can only accept the bitter fruit of being zero.
