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

Chapter 166 Sweeping Philadelphia
Stu Jackson is not very busy, because he has no other affairs other than this year's Olympic Games. As the chairman of the Blue Shoes, he is very relaxed, which is not too cool compared to being the general manager.

So about Billy Knight's question, he is very easy to answer, "Billy, if you really want to choose a core for building a team, then don't choose these three hot players, because these three people are too short. Obviously, Kenyon Martin's offensive skills can only eat cakes, and Swift is similar. Although Miles is known as Garnett's second, Garnett has not proven himself so far, at least he is in the playoffs. The performance is far from as good as the regular season. If you really want to choose, I think you can try the big man from the East."

The big guy from the East?Yao Ming?For Yao Ming, a little giant, Billy Knight is naturally on the watch list. Now that the Grizzlies have the No. [-] pick, they are more confident. Yao Ming is here. First of all, one thing can be guaranteed, that is, the team's attendance at home will definitely be high Well, at least those Chinese in Vancouver don't mind watching the game, instead of being like this now, obviously their ticket price is the cheapest in the league, and the attendance rate is not even one-third of the most expensive Knicks.

"Well, I see." Billy Knight hung up the phone, he wrote the word Yao Ming on the paper, and added the name of Brian Reeves at the same time.If Yao Ming is really selected, then Daxiang will definitely not be able to keep it, but where to trade, Daxiang currently has a large contract, and the average NBA team will not be willing to trade at all.Unless you bleed profusely.

Hey, the general manager of the Grizzlies really lost his head and chose to tie up the big country with a contract. This guy doesn't even have any data. No one is happy to trade with anyone. This guy Like Raheem, he is a good guy, but good guys are generally very mediocre in the league.Because you have no personality, people don't like to watch it.

It seems that we can only wait until the trading market opens. Billy Knight got Yao Ming's video and started watching it.

The draft lottery has little to do with the Pacers. The Pacers' picks this year are not high, so it is not so difficult to find treasures in the young draft year.

On May 5, the fourth game between the two sides began. Before the game, the Pacers were very relaxed, but the Philadelphia side was extremely depressed.

"At present, we have no way out. If we win, the game will continue. If we lose, we can only go home. Come on, guys." Larry Brown doesn't know how to pour chicken soup, but he still knows how to put pressure on players, and he is very skillful.

The verbal criticism after the last game made the Philadelphia players completely afraid to look at the fans after they came to the First Union Center. They didn't want to see those disappointed eyes and affect their mentality of the game.

The game officially started, and the starting lineup remained unchanged. Iverson took the ball, passed Mark Jackson, rushed to the inside, Zhang Tian made up the defense, and delayed Iverson's shot. The referee didn't blow the whistle, because he also knew that the last game The game is Philadelphia's last chance, and this game, even if it wins, can't change the outcome, making it too difficult for three to chase four.It has never happened in the history of the NBA playoffs. There are several classic cases where a [-]-[-] lead was reversed, but a [-]-[-] lead was reversed. That is not a single one.

The referee didn't call a foul. Larry Brown understood that the direction of the wind had begun to change. The league used conventional standards to whistle the game, so the game Philadelphia wanted to win was really not very high.

Iverson can pass one person, but not two. The intensity of the playoffs is not at the same level as the regular season, especially Zhang Tian has grown so much. In the eyes of Larry Brown, Zhang Tian, ​​a freshman, has completely surpassed him. It's a pity that the former is not his own player.

Iverson's consecutive misses in the first quarter gave the Pacers a lot of opportunities, and the score between the two sides was not opened much, because everyone else in Philadelphia stood up.

Tyron Hill, the [-]th position, completely beat Jerome in the first quarter, and Jermaine received two fouls in the first quarter. These two fouls were indeed self-inflicted.

At 30:28, the Pacers only led by two points. Zhang Tian sat on the bench, bought a bottle of stamina potion from the system store, and poured it down. In the first quarter, Philadelphia really put all its defenses into itself. The body, and the hit rate is similar to Iverson, Iverson is 5 for 0, and Zhang Tian is 0 for three.
This kind of mad dog biting defense, the more you retreat, the more the opponent will kick your nose in the face. Zhang Tian knows this very well. In the second quarter, he took the initiative to ask Ying to play. Larry Bird agreed. He knew that Zhang Tian was a good player. People who don't make fun of their bodies.

Zhang Tian came on the field, and when Kukoc received the ball, he rushed over with all his teeth and claws. The Croatian was completely messing around. He knew that he had a mediocre defensive awareness, so he had to rely on his attitude to make up for it. Zhang Tian stuck to Kukoc and turned his ankle After twisting and pulling the Croatian, Iverson rushed over with red eyes. He knew very well that if he and Zhang Tian exchanged a match, Philadelphia would probably win, because Zhang Tian is a barometer for the Pacers.And I am the core, but it is not so important when my teammates perform well.

Zhang Tian leaned on Iverson and hit the basket from the left side of the penalty area. With a turn, relying on his good finger dexterity, he dragged the ball into the basket, and Iverson had already been pushed to the basket. The billboard is gone.

There were boos at the first union center, Iverson was on the outside, and he shot again, Duang, the ball still missed, the Philadelphia three looked at the referee, and the referee was indifferent, so far he only got in the first quarter A free throw is far less exciting than the third game.

The two sides started to fight, you punched me, I kicked you, the referee just turned a blind eye, as long as no one died, no big trouble happened, whatever happened.

This mode of play is familiar to Philadelphia, and the Pacers are not bad. As a team that re-emerged in the late 80s, the bravery of the Cornfielders will be fully displayed in the Palace of Auburn Hills in the future. I just don’t know if I will have a chance to watch it. to this scene.

Stern turned off the TV after watching the first three quarters. He couldn't help but start to worry about the ratings of the Eastern Conference finals, because the Knicks had already led [-]-[-], and the kidney fighter was injured again. , I really can do whatever I want, and other Heat insiders can't stop him at all.

In the final defensive battle, the Pacers had the last laugh. Both Zhang Tian and Iverson had mediocre touches. They scored 26 points on 10-for-25 and 27 points on 7-for-19.
