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

Chapter 160 Six Steals Over Philadelphia

After Zhang Tian came on the court, he faced Aaron McGee, not Toni Kukoc. Larry Brown, who relies on defense for food, knew very well that the Croatian's defensive talent could not help him. In other words, there are very few offense and defense in European basketball. Both players appeared, Dirk Nowitzki is, but that is the future, and the current driver is still too young.

Aaron McGee is shorter than Zhang Tian, ​​he is a standard shooting guard, and his speed can completely keep up with Zhang Tian's rhythm, but Zhang Tian is still a bit unable to guard against Zhang Tian's ball. The first ball, Zhang Tiantiao With the first breakthrough, he made up his body in time, but the former forcibly stopped his body in the air and threw the ball out of Aaron McGee's face.

The second goal Zhang Tian still made a breakthrough, but this time Aaron McGee thought that Zhang Tian would repeat the old tricks, which was a bit of a trick, but this gave Zhang Tian a chance. Zhang Tian jumped to the basket and faced the white insider Matt. Geiger's assisted defense still chose a backhand layup. The latter hit Zhang Tian's arm, but the referee turned a blind eye and scored the ball.

Larry Bird couldn't bear being bullied by his "godson", so he yelled at referee No. 10. Facing the roar of the berserker who forced the king, referee No. 10 chose to pretend to be cowardly, after all, he couldn't transform The big murloc went to fight against King Axe, no, he was forcing King Axe.

Now is not the era of zero tolerance. Except for Shenxing Taibao, the eagle dog who has been completely bought by Stern, the status of other referees is not very high. The moment they are remembered is usually when they are about to finish their work.

Larry Brown didn't call a timeout, but took advantage of a dead ball and replaced it with George Lynch. Aaron McGee was still too impatient defensively, but Zhang Tianzai, who had only played for one season, was so mature. If he It was Zhang Tian in his hand, not Iverson, so there was no need to play four guarantees and one. Although Iverson's steals were very sharp, they were all based on countless failures.

I don’t know if Zhang Tian will be traded by the Pacers after the end of this season. After all, it’s not that Larry Bird will quit next season. If I get Zhang Tian with a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, even without Iverson, I have confidence Build a super team.

The reason why Larry Brown changed his attitude towards Zhang Tian was because of Zhang Tian’s performance in this quarter. In fact, he didn’t shoot a lot from the outside, unless he faced Iverson or Kukoc who had a big difference in height and defensive He only shoots when he is of average ability. This guy actually plays very reasonably. He is far from being as useless as Popovich said. My disciple sometimes likes to use non-basketball thinking to think about a game. The outcome of the game.

George Lynch played, Zhang Tian's offense continued, Toni Kukoc's mobility is good, but his defensive ability is on the same level as those of the Yugoslav players. Don't talk about anyone, don't talk about defending us Still friends.

Therefore, the advantage that Iverson helped Philadelphia create in the first 3 minutes has been eroded by Zhang Tian. By the end of the halftime, Zhang Tian's score has reached 20 points, and Iverson's score is 19 points. He missed consecutive shots in the next few shots. After Iverson missed, Philadelphia could only rely on other people to score. Fortunately, Snow and others were up to date tonight, and their points did not allow the Pacers to pull away. , The halftime score was 44:54, with Philadelphia trailing by 10 points.

There are still too few people on this team who can score. Larry Brown trading Larry Hughes for Toni Kukoc is really not the right choice. Although the opponent is in conflict with Iverson, as long as he is placed on the bench with a substitute , everything is easily solved.

"Tonight's Zhang is still the moat that Philadelphia can't cross. He is like a sword of Damocles hovering above the outer line of Philadelphia forever. He doesn't know when he will fall and give some unlucky ghost to him. Killed." Isiah Thomas showed his culture in the commentary booth, and the magician curled his lips beside him. He was still worried about NBC's arrangement. If he had known that he was partnered with this guy, he would have killed him. not coming.

"However, I still think Philly has a chance. Allen Iverson is full of possibilities."

"Hehe, it's more appropriate to put this sentence on Zhang. If you look down, you will know that the victory of the game will definitely belong to the Pacers."

Isiah Thomas is an arrogant and rebellious person, so his relationship with the magician and the old hooligan is very bad, and the dual quotient of those two people is not very high, which can only lead to things going in a worse direction, so He didn't want to miss the chance to confront the magicians and the others.

A few minutes later, the second half of the game started. Zhang Tian and Reggie Miller didn't play because of the big lead. Iverson still didn't feel much. When the Pacers were on the bench, Larry Brown let Troy Hill play the fifth position and Kukoc played the four.Because the altitude of Daben and Kato on the opposite side is average.

Iverson scored 19 points in the middle of the third quarter. Larry Brown had no choice but to choose to replace his disciple and replace him with Kevin Ollie, while Larry Bird was very unarmed. De let Zhang Tian play, this Larry Brown almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Damn it, if it wasn't for Dr. J and Fliggy's thugs around him, Larry Brown couldn't bear it at all. There aren't many players in the Philadelphia team. Iverson can play, but he went down. Isn't the game too cold? The others are simply fighting at the level of five scumbags.

Zhang Tian played and did not continue the touch of the first half. This made Larry Brown relieved, but before the Philadelphia coach came back, Zhang Tian continued to interfere with George Lynch and Kukoc on the defensive end. Their offensive efficiency dropped, and the Pacers began to counterattack continuously. The score that was already approaching was pulled away again.

Billups is the most refreshing person. After Zhang Tian came on the field, he made consecutive steals and helped Billups score points in the fast break. In the end, relying on Zhang Tian's 6 steals in the game, they beat the team at home. Philadelphia got a good start. In addition, he had 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 blocks. His performance was very comprehensive, and 6 of the 4 steals were obtained in the third quarter.

At 91:108, Philadelphia received a disastrous away game. In the press conference after the game, Larry Brown praised Zhang Tian very strangely, saying how the latter's team performed, and those who said that his playing style was cancerous Famous people and experts are blind to the ball. Although Larry Brown didn't say that, he meant it. And this ambiguous attitude also made Philadelphia jumpy after the game.
