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

Chapter 159 Philadelphia is Coming
Duncan asked his agent to quietly negotiate with other teams, so it did not affect the enthusiasm of those popular rookies.And the Eastern and Western semifinal matchups have also been released. The Pacers played against the Seven Sixers, the Heat played against the Knicks, the Lakers played against the Phoenix Suns, and the Blazers played against the Jazz. In one division, and they all rank in the top two.

Indiana has been resting for several days, and the same is true for Philadelphia. Iverson faced the Pacers for the second time in his career. He was directly swept by the Pacers last season. The answer is that he wants revenge. He thinks it’s time for him .The biggest difference between Iverson and the previous opponents, the Bucks, is tenacity. They will not give up at will unless the game is stopped.Maybe his choice is very unreasonable sometimes, maybe he can often hit the iron more than [-] times, but you can't deny the other party's spirit.

The game was broadcast live by NBC. Zhang Tian was stopped by an aunt when he was practicing. This woman is the queen of Mosaic. She came to NBC to report today. This is also the case since Zhang Tian entered the NBA. A new trend is that many retired female stars and former female press officers like to interview Zhang Tian, ​​the number one killer in the NBA, although in the hearts of some teams, the other party is an existence that cannot be provoked.

Lisa Marowski came here today with something to offer, "Zhang, Larry said he would have a surprise for you tonight, are you looking forward to it?"

The Larry here is definitely not Larry Bird but the former Pacers coach Larry Brown. What tactics can the opponent come up with.

"I'm looking forward to it. In this game, I hope his third position will be stronger."

What tactics will Larry Brown use? Zhang Tian returned to the court and started practicing, and the game will start immediately. Philadelphia’s starting lineup is still the five players, Eric Snow, Iverson, George Lynch, Teyron Hill, Theo Ratliff, a typical four guarantees one lineup.

The Pacers started with Rick Schmitz at the center position, so the other four did not change. At the beginning of the game, Zhang Tian understood what the surprise Larry Brown brought to him. His defensive formation was man-to-man. But when he broke through to the inside, the defenders in front of him suddenly changed from one to two. In the current NBA defensive rules, it is not allowed to double-team someone without the ball, but in the state of holding the ball, let alone Two people, you have no problem with five people.

Tyron Hill, the 206 power forward, and George Lynch who followed him sandwiched Zhang Tian like a sandwich. Larry Bird looked in the direction of Larry Brown, and the latter's glasses bloomed Infinite brilliance, this is the gift he prepared for Zhang Tian. He knows that Zhang Tian is excellent in breakthrough and shooting, but facing this type of defense, what should he do as a rookie? He is not a top-heavy waste like George Karl. .

The on-site commentary was Magician and Isiah Thomas, there was no third person, and both of them were attracted by the game at this time.

Zhang Tian put the ball high in the air, and at the same time, his feet jumped between the two of them, and he threw the ball towards the basket. After swiping, the ball was scored, and the mid-range shot with an attribute value of more than 110 did not disappoint. Zhang Tian's expectations.Larry Brown was a little angry on the sidelines.

"Are you fucking asleep, or sucked dry by a woman, defense, I want defense."

I don’t know who Larry Brown is spraying on. Anyway, George Lynch and Tyron Hill are like grandsons, and they can’t say a word. Iverson got the ball on the offensive end, but he didn’t break through. It was a three-point shot from outside. Brown's face looked like a dead mother, but he knew Iverson's character. This system was built for Iverson. If Iverson took the pick, then Philadelphia would It's over, so I can only come because of Iverson, but it is also conditional. When the three-point shot is lower than 30.00%, you can't shoot it. As for the two-point shot, you can shoot it even if it drops [-]%. It is Larry Brown's wonderful basketball philosophy.

Swipe, Iverson was lucky and scored the ball. Mark Jackson did not hand the ball to Zhang Tian, ​​but gave it to Miller. Iverson was ready to steal the ball at any time. The gap, so I can shoot as soon as possible. Miller is very decisive. After taking a step forward, he catches a jump step and goes to the inside line for a layup. The ball is slapped by Tyron Hill. I can only vent my anger on the floor.

Xiao Ao sent a sideline ball to Zhang Tian, ​​and Iverson was defending Zhang Tian. The Philadelphia No. [-] jumped up, but Zhang Tian still made a decisive shot from the outside and scored. He has already scored five points.

The defender Iverson faced was still Miller, and Zhang Tian was still the one who assisted in the defense. I don’t know if the former was angry with Zhang Tian or something, but this time he still made a confident three-pointer. The rebound was picked up by Ratliff and given to Iverson. As a result, Iverson made another shot and still hit the iron. This time the rebound bounced into Tyron Hill's arms. The hook sent the ball into the basket. This offensive skill is one of the things that many insiders who are not very good at offense must master.

Zhang Tian read Philadelphia's defense. He no longer took the initiative to be the first ball holder. Finally enjoyed the treatment of Miller this season.In the first quarter, he scored 7 points and 4 rebounds in 11 of 2.

Miller's side had only a pitiful 5-pointer because of the high-intensity defense, which made the Pacers' No. 31 heart very unbalanced.

In the second quarter, Kukoc came up, Iverson continued to play, Zhang Tianxia went, Billups, Wilkins and Mullin came, it is a combination of two old and three new, this combination The offensive ability is not bad, but the defensive end made Iverson poke into a hornet's nest. The latter scored 3 points in 7 minutes, and his personal score was almost 20 points.

Larry Bird can only choose to suspend. The ability of the No. 40 pick in [-] to score points cannot be underestimated. It can be seen that he can score [-] points in the last round against Eddie Jones, a regular player in the defensive lineup.

Larry Bird has no good way, close the door, no, pause to go to the sky, isn't it just a swing, who is afraid of whom.

Zhang Tian came up to replace the mediocre human film essence, the latter didn't feel any frustration, anyway, he came to the Pacers to win the championship with big legs, and he really doesn't care about the status of other teams .Because it is completely meaningless to be obsessed with those things, what James Worthy wanted to understand in his rookie season, he will not understand until he retires, so this is the reason why the opponent has won several championships, and he is currently empty-handed.
