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

Chapter 172

A day later, the battle between the Pacers and the Knicks continued. Van Gundy did not adjust his starting lineup, but his defense on the inside became more targeted than in the first game.When Zhang Tian breaks through to the inside, he is facing a two-person attack. Don't think about easy layups or shots.

Such a high-intensity defense exhausted Zhang Tian's physical strength, but the Knicks also paid the price for their double-teaming. The scoring tension is not as scary as Zhang Tian, ​​but the durability is still good.

Zhang Tian took 3 shots in the first quarter, none of which were scored, and he could get to the free throw line twice, but the referee just didn't call.Zhang Tian didn't go to argue with the referee, but if they continue like this, he doesn't mind using the props in the mall, it's too fucking bullying.Rookies don't get star whistle treatment, but they can't just turn a blind eye to everything, right? Do you have to start a fight and blow it when you bleed?
"That's right, that's the rhythm. Don't give Zhang any chance to get close to the penalty area. Patrick, you have a rest. Come on, Chris." Camby was completely abandoned. After the last game, Xiao Fan understood why he was ranked second. There will be all kinds of ups and downs. It’s not terrible if you can’t attack. What’s terrible is that you can’t even defend. Although Camby has the experience of being selected to the best defensive team, but the book data, except when you get a contract, look better. What about Camby's performance when he actually fights against the defender.

Zhang Tian continued to play in the second quarter. One of the two sides scored 22 points in the first quarter, and the other scored 25 points. God, at the same time prop up the two arms, so that Zhang Tian can stop it if he breaks through.

Without the ball, Zhang Tian ran towards Billups. John Wallace wanted to chase him, but he was caught by Chris Mullin. Zhang Tian took the ball from Billups. Any adjustment on the perimeter is just a swing.It was his first three-pointer of the game.

Swipe, the ball was scored, and Zhang Tian scored the first point of the individual game.With this ball, Alan Houston failed to catch up with Zhang Tian in time when Mullin went to card John Wallace and gave Zhang Tian a chance to shoot.But CIC Wang also played for a quarter without rest, he was too tired.

Xiao Fan looked at Chris Childs on the bench, and Rick Brusson looked like he was waiting for food. Xiao Fan still made up his mind to let the CIC king continue to stay on the court.

At the end of the first quarter, Zhang Tian had already poured a bottle of stamina potion. The pressure on him from the Knicks in this game was much greater than that in the previous game, so he had to do this just in case.

So when he saw Zhang Tian, ​​who was also alive and well, rushing to the king of the shot, Xiao Fan was puzzled, why his shooting guard's heels were stuck to the floor, and why he was so fierce, this is unscientific .

Xiao Fan couldn't figure it out at all. When Larry Johnson partnered with Camby, the effect was much better than that of Ewing, because Camby didn't occupy the ball, and his athletic ability was much better than Ewing, whose legs had been crippled. many.Facing Harrington or Big Ben, Big Mom has a way to put the ball in the basket.

Zhang Tian continued to shoot from the outside. He scored three three-pointers from the outside in a row. Xiao Fan could only call a timeout.

"Zhang, with his own unique shooting, he insisted on opening the score. This is the ability of a superstar. What should the Knicks do? Fighting against the Pacers for three-pointers, there has never been a team in this league. I won." The voice of Isiah Thomas, who was sitting in the Conseco Arena, was very loud, and the famous New York star Walter Frazier chose to shut up. The Knicks performed well in the second quarter, but the three-point and two-point lead The shocking power is not a series at all. You can say that the opponent scored one. You can say that you are lucky, but if you score three in a row, it is not as simple as luck. Zhang Tian has taken the Knicks several times in this regular season. With the existence of the sacrificial flag, there is still no mercy on the stage of the playoffs. He has only played half of this quarter, and he has already scored 11 points, 11 points in the half quarter.Even Bernard King, the darling of New York, can't do this scoring ability. Although the latter has the scoring champion, his body is too unhealthy. With healthy knees, he may be able to compete with Zhang Tian.As for his winning partner in the Knicks, Earl Monroe, the Black Pearl, Walter Fraser felt that he was still so close.

Zhang Tian returned to the bench, and Battelle handed Zhang Tian another bottle of water. Although the bus didn't play much time in the Pacers, it had already gotten along well with these guys. Maybe it was because he was Zhang Tian's compatriot. The latter player gives some face, but it is more of his personal charm.

"Zhang, you did a good job. Do you need a rest?" Larry Bird handed the towel to Zhang Tian himself. Zhang Tian, ​​who entered the playoffs, seemed to be a magical beast that had torn its seal. energy, no one knows.It's really like me, but it's a pity that it's not my son. It would be great if it was true.The more Wang Wang looks at Zhang Tian, ​​the more he likes it. Although the media call him a combination of Pippen and Barry, in the eyes of Wang Wang, he is the best candidate for his successor, and no one else can be called Zhang Tian except him. Called Larry Bird's successor.

Zhang Tian shook his head, both sides began to switch to the starting lineup, and continued the duel like a meat grinder, but Zhang Tian's touch had already come out, he couldn't hold back at all, facing the double-teaming of two people, he forced himself to smash the ball Going into the basket is a big gift he gave to the Knicks starter.

Xiao Fan clearly realized that he called the timeout late, but his assistant coaches didn't remind him. It seems that it is very necessary to recruit an on-the-spot command assistant in the future.

The gorilla dunked on the inside face frame, but was called directly to the backboard by a big hand that appeared from the outside. With a bang, the ball bounced directly out. The referee did not call a foul this time. Zhang Tian arrived at the Knicks half and made a three-pointer Scoop the ball in from outside the line.This is his fourth three-pointer in this quarter. This goal has already tied Mucci Brelock's record of four three-pointers in a single quarter against the Bulls on May 1997, 5. The field isn't over yet.

Zhang Tian still has a chance to break the record. In the last attack of the first half, the ball was transferred to Miller. Miller also played well in the game. So far, he has also scored in double figures. He succeeded in breaking through against the CIC king. The Knicks' attack came immediately, and the Pacers No. 31 chose Zhang Tian who passed the ball to the outside. When Zhang Tian received the ball, there was not much time left in the game. Zhang Tian hit the ground, but the ball had already flown into the net, and the offense was on time. With Zhang Tian's 17 points in a single quarter and five three-point performances, the Pacers will take the lead at halftime 55:47 The advantage expanded to 8 points.
