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

Chapter 202 Winning the Championship, Lonely O'Neill

Both of them scored 21 points, but Zhang Tian scored 14 of 9 and O'Neal scored 19 of 10. In terms of shooting percentage, Zhang Tian had the upper hand, and his shooting percentage also benefited other Pacers players. Reggie Miller In the first half, he scored 9 of 6 points and scored 14 points. He and Zhang Tian scored half of the team's points.

Kobe's defense against Zhang Tian can't be said to be a failure, but it can't be called a success, because Zhang Tian drank the physical potion before the start of the second quarter, which made him completely worthwhile in the process of confronting Kobe.Kobe is a big bloody bull, but Zhang Tian is a badass, no matter how powerful you are, wouldn't you be tortured to death a little bit when you encounter a badass?
Kobe scored 12 points in 4 of 12 in the half. This score is very Kobe, but without Zhang Tian's consumption on the defensive end, Kobe's score will definitely be higher than this. After all, a person's energy is limited, and he cannot do everything. Everything is covered.

Glen Rice came up in the second half of the second quarter. He felt ashamed and brave. He made two of three in a single quarter, made two of two free throws, and scored seven points. With one ball, the Lakers wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Being behind by seven points is not the end of the world for the Lakers, because they have plenty of offensive players, but Kobe and O'Neal, the twin stars who played the first half, will definitely not be able to fight like this in the second half. If they continue to fight, The Lakers were finished in less than the fourth quarter, but if these two don't fight, who can stand up from other Lakers players?Robert Horry?Glen Rice?No matter how you look at it, it's not reliable.

Phil Jackson was completely overwhelmed by all kinds of negative emotions. The old Buss in the home box watched the Lakers fall behind, and he wanted to give a lecture again, but how should I say it? It's their normal level. Who let them meet Zhang Tian who scored 12 points in a single quarter? Kobe can't do anything to the opponent one-on-one, but the opponent is very good at defending Kobe. Instability, this is the current embarrassment of the Lakers. Their team has too many shortcomings, and the Pacers have seized them all.

"I played well in the first half, but I still can't relax my vigilance, Zhang, if they still play against you alone, you can finish them in the third quarter."

Larry Bird patted Zhang Tian's shoulder dotingly, and Zhang Tian nodded. Kobe's defense is strong, but if the strength of the two sides is not at the same level, no matter how strong they are, those top 3D defenses in the previous life can all be defeated. Limit the top scorers, but they are also impossible to defend the opponent without a point, which is why.

During the intermission, Zhang Tian did not accept any interviews from anyone. The game is not over yet, and a seven-point lead is very unsafe.

The second half of the game started, the Lakers replaced all the starters, Kobe and O'Neal went through a halftime rest, and their physical strength recovered a lot. Zhang Tian held the ball and pulled it forward. He took it back, stopped at the top of the arc, and threw a three-pointer like this, brushed, 24 points, Zhang Tian faced a single defense, and his invincible touch returned.

"The Lakers are in big trouble. Kobe's personal defense can't help Zhang at all. Zhang's offense is too incomprehensible. The Lakers should still double-team instead of single defense. Single defense is meaningless."

The magician yelled loudly from the sidelines, and Zen master was stunned for a while before he realized it. He called a timeout and made Zhang Tian feel what it meant to be double-teamed by the Lakers. O'Neal was completely invincible inside, but he and Zhang Tian Tian has shown a state of exchange, he can score the opponent, and sometimes, Zhang Tian will shoot a three-pointer, O'Neal is at the basket, the chance of two plus one is not very great, because there are too many double-teams The picture of being ravaged appeared.O'Neal is a father at the basket, and the Pacers' four big men can only consume and cannot give the Sharks real pressure.

But physical strength is not unlimited after all. In the 5 minutes of the third quarter, the ball fell into the hands of O'Neill. Facing Cato and Battelle, the latter still chose to dunk, but unfortunately he did not score this time and the rebound fell. In Cato's arms, Cato handed it to Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian didn't go for a fast break, but gave it to Billups.

O'Neal and Kobe's physical strength is not as good as in the previous two quarters. Zhang Tian, ​​​​who drank the physical strength potion, is very excited. His style of play is still so fierce. He breaks through when he has a chance, and shoots when he has no chance. The reason why he chose this way is, I just want to consume Kobe's physical strength as much as possible. Zhang Tian's routine is dirty, but Kobe can't dodge. If he really dodges, then the game will be over. In a one-on-one situation, except himself The Lakers have no second person who can deal with Zhang Tian.

In this game in the previous life, Jaylen Rose, who played the whole game in the final stage, made a mistake and was intercepted by Brian Shaw, allowing O'Neal to score, and the game was concluded.

And Zhang Tian is not Jaylen Rose. His ball control is much more stable than the latter. Jaylen Rose has only played a few good games in his entire career. on the way.

Zhang Tian has strengthened him countless times, so in front of high-tech players like Zhang Tian, ​​many loopholes of the Lakers have exploded and mixed up. The reason why they did not explode in the previous life is that Rose does not have the qualifications to challenge the ok combination. Ordinary role players will have flash shots, but that's not all, and the Lakers' shortcomings are completely covered up for this reason. Now that Zhang Tian is here, everything will be very different. The two major starters of the Lakers, Glenn Rice and AC Green became a victim in Zhang Tian's hands.

In the third quarter, the Lakers still played very tenaciously, the OK team still did not rest, and Zhang Tian continued to accompany them.

In the fourth quarter, O'Neal finally felt exhausted, but he was lifted up within a minute after he went down, because in the days when he was not there, the Lakers' insiders were completely fried. Taking advantage of O'Neill's absence, he frantically swiped data, and neither AC Green nor Robert Horry could solve this.

With 1 minute left in the fourth quarter, many Lakers fans had already left the field. At this time, the score became 120:101. In such a short time, and there was only one timeout in hand, The probability of the Lakers wanting to come back is too low. In the whole game, Zhang Tian scored 28 of 15 and scored the second highest 38 points in the game. In addition, he also had 7 assists, 4 steals and 5 rebounds. Bian scored 41 points and 12 rebounds alone, but he was powerless. Four to two, the Pacers defeated the Lakers and won the first championship in team history.
