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

Chapter 161 The second scene is coming

Larry Brown was really impressed by Zhang Tian. Although Zhang Tian only scored 30 points in this game, his performance on the defensive end was amazing. His six steals were almost half of the Philadelphia team.Of course, these steals are not the kind of desperate style, but under the pressure of the defense, they are caught by the defender showing his flaws.

"Larry, don't think about it. Apart from Allen, we don't have any other players that can be exchanged with Zhang, so let's think about how to play the next game."

Billy King is comforting the dreaming Larry Brown, the old guy who won the championship in the NCAA and has been in the NBA for many years, but he hasn't even made it to the finals. Now that Philadelphia is improving a bit, he can't stand any trouble, and he The words brought after the game really caused quite a stir, but Brad Greenberg, the team's president of operations, is his true fan, Billy King, the cerebral palsy who later gave the Kaizi multiple draft picks. The general manager is still very smart now.

"No, Billy, you don't understand, you don't play, you don't understand what Zhang does on the court, that guy is like a combination of Rick Barry and Scottie Pippen to me , If we can have him, then revival is not a dream, if Indiana let go, except for Allen, others can choose whatever they want."

This guy Larry Brown is addicted to his dream and can't extricate himself. A striker with top scoring ability and top defensive ability. In the long history of the NBA, Larry Bird is nothing more than one person. Rick Barry's defense is only It can be regarded as average. Dr. J's defensive level is similar to that of Camby behind him. The statistics are extremely gorgeous, but the actual effect is another matter. As for the six-time champion Pippen, his scoring is far from being as good as his defense.

Billy King had no choice. Now that Larry Brown is the star of the team, the general manager couldn't afford to offend him, so he went to negotiate with Donnie Walsh, and the general manager of the Pacers naturally entertained him warmly After a while, but after hearing the offer from Philadelphia, Donnie Walsh wanted to pull away.

This is fucking cheating, right? George Lynch and Aaron McGee traded for Zhang Tian, ​​and a second-round pick was added. If Zhang Tian was drafted and this deal came up, then I would definitely agree, but Everyone can see Zhang Tian's role in the Pacers now. Even if it is a trade, he can't trade the stinky fish and rotten shrimp like Philadelphia.

"Billy, the NBA is a business league, but you are too insincere, so unless you can use Allen as a bargaining chip, otherwise there is no need for us to negotiate."

Take Iverson as a bargaining chip?Billy King drank the coffee in front of him and left. He was not crazy yet. If he really agreed to the deal, unless Zhang Tian had a god-like performance in the next game, the fans would definitely not let him go. own.

Donny Walsh didn't tell Larry Bird about Billy King's episode, because it was unnecessary, and he didn't even like this kind of bargaining chip, let alone forcing the king.

In the other three matchups, the Lakers easily won the Suns. Although Kobe faced the entanglement of Kidd and others, he handed over the answer sheet of 12 of 2, but O'Neal really stirred up the situation inside. , when the other three major centers have begun to step down from the stage of history, he has truly become an unsolvable existence in this position.

O'Neal scored another 42 points in the whole game. This is his second 40+ points in the playoffs this season, and he is worthy of the title of regular season MVP.And the duel between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers was not beyond everyone's expectations. Facing the Trail Blazers, the Golden Dollar Corps, Karl Malone was completely unable to bring them back. They lost the game away, even if it was Stockton. Another stat of 10+6+2 was scored, but that was nothing more than tasteless. As long as his partner can get more points, the inside Malone doesn't have to play so hard.

The six Blazers scored in double figures, fully displaying their integrity. As for the Heat and the Knicks, after the iron fight, Pat Riley, the master, had the last laugh.

Larry Brown got the news of the deal setback from Billy King. The Pacers proposed to involve Iverson. Larry Brown could only bear with it. The current Philadelphia No. [-] is the city symbol of.

But how should we target Zhang Tian in the next game against Philadelphia? The fake zone defense doesn’t work against Zhang Tian, ​​because the opponent’s scoring method will change. His outside shooting ability must be respected, so we can’t fake zone defense. It is too difficult to watch him when players can only rotate and defend quickly. The Pacers are the most peculiar team in the NBA. They score far more points from the outside than inside.Reggie Miller and Zhang Tian are the hottest combination of perimeter killers in the league today. Letting go of any of them is unacceptable, but you have to make a choice.

Larry Brown was in a very upset mood. Hey, Reggie Miller was in a much better state during the Pacers period than he is now, but at that time in the playoffs, except for the historical background man John Starks, Reggie Miller was allowed to complete the Miller moment. In addition, Miller's performance in the playoffs is very struggling, because everyone knows that as long as the Pacers are locked at No. 31, the cornfield will lose.

Now with Zhang Tian, ​​no team should gamble like this. Even many teams think that Zhang Tian is more threatening than Miller. Larry Brown naturally thinks so. As a 201 small forward, Zhang Tian, This height is a bit retro. Although the opponent is growing, the third position in the league is either 198 or 203. The third position of 201 does not account for much of the share.

So his subtle height difference means that the opponent cannot only play one position. Larry Brown is very envious of Larry Bird. What kind of dog is he? There is also such a fast treasure, I also want to be the other party's godfather.It's okay to be a grandpa.If Zhang Tian hears the voice of the Philadelphia head coach, he doesn't mind giving the other party some flair.

On May [-]th, at [-] o'clock in the evening, the second match between the Pacers and Philadelphia was about to start, but Zhang Tian was pulled by someone for an interview before the game.

"Zhang, is there any pressure in the second game?"

The TBS reporter who interviewed him turned out to be Rick Barry, a Miami Greyhound. Zhang Tian saw that the other party always had a kind of Li Gui who met Li Kui. Fortunately, many people called themselves the successor of Larry Bird, not the successor of Rick Barry. , Because when you think of a striker with a good shot, everyone's first impression must be the king, and then Barry or others.

"There is no pressure, I believe in the strength of my teammates."
