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

Chapter 157 The Situation of the First Round

The Bucks weren't the only team that got swept, and they shouldn't feel bad, because the Heat sent the Pistons home in another Eastern Conference quarterfinal game at 09:30 on the same night, which meant Grant Hill can enjoy his vacation.

His contract with the Pistons has also expired, but in these years with the Pistons, although the regular season data has been good, and he has won the honor of vote champion for several years in a row, but on the stage of the playoffs, Grant Hill is far from the ncaa Excellent, NCAA has Laettner and other first-line teammates, but in the Pistons, none of these.

Both Bill Davidson and general manager Joe Dumars know that the era of Grant Hill has passed, and what they are thinking about now is how to find a potential next home for Hill and how to get enough from Hill. Thanks to the benefits, the Pistons in the previous life got Atkins and Da Ben from the Magic through Hill. The former is a qualified rotation player, and the latter has grown into a team spirit in the Pistons. The names of Jackson and Ben Wallace will be remembered by all NBA players, but it is a pity that we cannot wait for Da Ben and Wu Sheng to come to save Artest, because Zhang Tian has established himself as the No. [-] player in the NBA before them. The title of a fight king.

So whether Hill can practice magic like he did in his previous life is completely unknown, and it depends on the sincerity of the magic.

In addition to the Pistons returning home, the Knicks also sent the Raptors away cleanly. The cousins ​​McGrady and Carter arrived on the stage of the playoffs, and their performance was far less comfortable than in the regular season. You pass it on to me and I pass it on to you. Butch Carter may have been pressured by the management to put McGrady in the starting lineup, but the pressure on the latter is not normal. Except for scoring 25 points in the first game, McGrady didn't score 20 points in the other two games. McGrady was very painful. His first playoff trip ended in this way.

The moment the Raptors were eliminated by the Knicks, they announced the news of the head coach Butch Carter's dismissal. As for who will replace him as the head coach, the Raptors did not make a conclusion early on. Qiansheng coach Wilkens, but the best result of this team is the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The agreement between Zhang Tian and Larry Bird naturally did not let the third person know, but Rick Carlisle, who can't stay idle, broke the big news.

"Several NBA teams have approached me privately. Which one do you think I should choose?"

This guy is not on the basketball court, like a big kid, he has a lot of fun with the players, especially Zhang Tian. As mentioned earlier, Jim Carrey is also an amateur pianist, so the relationship between him and Zhang Tian off the court It is completely two extremes with the field.

"There are all those, let's talk about a few staff officers, staff officers."

Zhang Tian was practicing shooting without looking back, and the other players were similar. Although the first round is over, the opponent in the second round is 90.00% likely to be the Philadelphia 40ers. This opponent is not as easy to deal with as the Bucks , Of course, for Zhang Tian, ​​​​Philadelphia's third position also does not have any defensive champions. If he and Kukoc are allowed to explode each other, it will undoubtedly be a very good situation. The Croatian is good at scoring, but it is impossible for him to play in the playoffs. Get [-] points in the intensity of the level.

Zhang Tian feels that he is very happy. In this era when James did not enter the league, Artest, Pierce and others did not grow up, and Pippen was cold again, he was really lucky.It is simply invincible in the same position.As aggressive as himself, Zhang Tian confidently said no. Although Rick Barry's card is only an S+, it is the opponent's peak card after all. He can score 34.7 points per game in the playoffs. Against Chamberlain, Billy Cunningham, Hal Greer, and Chet Walker, the four Hall of Fame-level encirclement can still score an average of 40.8 points per game. Can you still say that this card is not strong? Barry has only A Nate Thurmond.

So the agreement with Larry Bird is what he wanted to say a long time ago. Coming to the Pacers is equivalent to gold plating for Zhang Tian. Tian Tian said that he would not care about these gossips, but he really did not care, so he would not train so hard every day.

"Zhang, you haven't answered yet. Which team should I go to? Give me your opinion."

Carlisle looked at Zhang Tian in a daze, and shook the latter, "Tell me, which teams contacted you?"

At this time, the other team members had already left. They didn't seem to have any interest in Carlisle's next home, so naturally they wouldn't gossip reporters to break the news. This is the sports circle, not the rice ball circle.

"There are Magic, Raptors, Hawks, Grizzlies, Clippers. Pistons." Oh, not bad, so many teams are optimistic.

"Clippers, pass first, you can only be the one who takes the blame for Lord Baylor when you go there."

Carlisle also nodded, feeling that Zhang Tian's analysis was very reasonable, "Then which of the remaining companies do you think is better?"

"Choose one between the Pistons and the Magic. Although the other Raptors have Carter's signature superstar, I don't think he can implement your tactical intentions as a basketball lunatic. It's like he wants to play in the semifinals of the playoffs. I'm going to attend a ceremony at my alma mater one day, will you agree?"

Before Rick Carlisle could answer, Zhang Tian answered for him, "You won't, although your basketball talent is mediocre, but your enthusiasm for basketball and the study of tactics are more fanatical than any head coach, so Carter is not allowed to appear on your team with mediocre tactical literacy, and Carter is the Raptors' top card, when you conflict with him, you can only get out."

Carlisle's face didn't change at all. Zhang Tian's words were straightforward, but they were all the truth. How should he choose? One is a lonely champion club, and the other is a team with beautiful scenery on the south coast.It's really hard to choose.

In the West, the Jazz swept the Supersonics under the full firepower of Malone. Under the iron elbow of Malone, Wen Baker averaged only 11 points per game, and his salary was 7 million in 8600 years. Although the contract started next season Execution, but this has almost blocked the salary space of the Supersonics. It can only depend on God's will for them to strengthen.

The Spurs are another team that was swept out of the game. David Robinson and Popovich were completely torn apart for the ball. Even if Duncan came to mediate from his home in the Virgin Islands, it was useless. Who are these two people? I can't stand anyone anymore.
