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

Chapter 163 Falling behind at halftime, the alliance controls the field

After the Iverson game, he walked into the player tunnel without looking back. He fell behind 14-[-] and failed to win two away games. This is unacceptable for a guy who is born to be strong. In this game, He almost beat Reggie Miller in the matchup. Miller only scored [-] points in this game, and he only had half of Iverson's points.

The entire Conseco Center turned into a sea of ​​joy, and everyone was thinking that there seemed to be no suspense in the next two away games. Zhang Tian was a natural barrier in front of Larry Brown, no matter how sophisticated the opponent's defense system was , Zhang Tian can rely on his super projection ability to cast a piece of sky.

David Stern is very fortunate to give half of the rookie award to Zhang Tian. Looking at Zhang Tian's performance in the playoffs, it is really a superstar level. Jordan was not so fierce in the first playoffs that year. Zhang Tian can be said to be the fiercest high school student in history.This MVP, who has become famous from the World Youth Championship, has climbed to such a height, which is something that the previous World Youth Championship mvp could not do at all.

"Boss, let me just say that investing in Zhang is definitely not a loss-making choice. It wasn't a big problem when we gave him the best third team. After all, other people in the third team can't compare to him in terms of performance."

Stu Jackson claimed credit for his godfather in the office, while Xiao Hua's face was ashen.The better Zhang Tian's performance, the harder his face was beaten, Xiao Hua had a premonition that this bastard might become the X factor of whether he could become the next leader,

There has never been a player like Zhang Tian in the history of the Cornfields. Reggie Miller feels more like a villain, and Zhang Tian is like a king, although he is not the No. 1 player in the league now.But that kind of domineering temperament is not possessed by the trash talker. He is a qualified killer, but not a good leader.

Travis Best was in a good mood after the second game, because although this guy was not on the active player list, he has been on the inactive player list. No, let Larry Bird lose patience with it, and Travis Best will have a chance to re-enter the active player list.

In fact, it is useless for Travis Best to enter the list. Billups is in great condition on the current Pacers bench. After Larry Bird's punishment, this 97-year-old prospect temporarily tucked his tail , and in the case of Billups not acting as a demon, the chance of Travis Best snatching the position from him is zero.

So Travis Best invited everyone to a party to celebrate his re-entry into the activation list. Zhang Tian did not break the fantasy of the other party. After all, people must have a spiritual home, and there is no difference between animals and animals without spiritual sustenance.

Except for the Heat and the Knicks, the other three matchups were all [-]-[-]. The Suns almost won a game at Staples, but it was a pity that Penny Hardaway threw a ball at the last moment. Three non-sticks, Jordan's successor has become a sinner in Phoenix City, he should have become that hero, maybe this is the fate of the other party.

On May [-]th, at the First Union Center in Philadelphia, at [-]:[-] p.m., the third matchup between the two sides will begin soon.

According to the reporter's interview, Iverson actually took the initiative to train under the pressure of [-]-[-]. Perhaps this game will not be won so quickly.

And Larry Brown made adjustments to the starting lineup. He replaced Snow, let Iverson go to the first position, and Aaron McGee played the second position. In this way, even if Zhang Tian broke through George Lynch, he could still play in time. Follow-up, but this also means that Reggie Miller will be extremely comfortable in this field.

Ernie Johnson and Isiah Thomas chatted before the game, and Matt Weiner could only be a mascot next to him.

"Isaiah, do you think Philadelphia has a good chance in this game?"

Isiah Thomas isn't a good coach, but if viewed from the sidelines, the Smiling Assassin's brain will be back on top.

"The chances are very small. Zhang's current threat is much greater than that sissy No. 31." Although Miller is the top card of his hometown team and the "old enemy" of the old hooligan, the Smiling Assassin is not for this junior. How can it be seen, because Miller's trash talk is just trash talk, he can only affect some psychologically fragile guys, yes, it is you-John Starks, a man with a historical background, facing other superstars, he His trash talk is useful, but it is far from that big, and the defensive end is not strong enough. Although there are many small moves, it is not particularly difficult for everyone to get past him under normal circumstances.

Smiling Assassin's words were fulfilled on the field. Iverson broke through Mark Jackson just like crossing the road. He didn't give Miller any chance to help defend, and directly scored a backhand layup.

But looking back, Zhang Tian also responded in the same way, and it seemed more relaxed than Iverson, because his wingspan was long enough.

Larry Brown's scalp was a little numb, and Aaron McGee blocked Zhang Tian's way, but the rookie still pushed McGee all the way to Ratliff for a layup.This time it was not blocked because there was McGee's "cover" in the middle, and he was caught in the middle like a sandwich.

But the league obviously didn't want to see the rising star Iverson, who was highly praised, just be swept out of the game, and then the referee's standards suddenly became stricter.Although Iverson started to hit the iron again on the offensive end, he also got free throws. In the first half of the game, Iverson got a total of three free throws and made five free throws.

And all the free throws made by the Pacers in the first half were only 8, eight, not eight times, and this also made the Pacers' employment become critical for the first time. In addition to Zhang Tian, ​​​​Miller and Mark Jackson There are a lot of fouls, and Philadelphia made three more free throws than the Pacers in the first half. This is the performance of the league starting to control the field, but compared to Silver, Stern did not go too far.If it's a joke, Philadelphia didn't make six or seven more free throws than the opponent in the first half. What is the home field advantage?

Iverson scored 19 points. In the first half, he took 14 shots and hit 7 goals. He got this score by free throws. On the Pacers side, Zhang Tian was 10 of 7 and scored 17 points very efficiently. , but the strange thing is that Zhang Tian only had one free throw.

So the Pacers entered the intermission with a 46:47 deficit of one point in the first half.Zhang Tian could only lament in his heart. It seems that Rick Barry's free throw record cannot be broken by himself. Although his ability is almost absorbed by himself at present, if Stern does not give this platform, you will not be able to use it.
