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

Chapter 41 Kapono's Psychological Shadow Area
After losing the game, Battelle and Zhang Tian exchanged contact information before leaving. Francis looked displeased. Zhang Tian is too insidious. He never fights him one-on-one. It was difficult to play every game. Although I scored high points, it was not efficient.

Zhang Tian's two-point shooting percentage in this game is higher than that of three-pointers, otherwise his score will be higher.

After taking a shower in the lounge of the Poly Pavilion, he was about to rush to the hotel when Xiao Ao stopped him.

"Zhang, don't go back to the hotel. Reggie has a party over there in Beverly Hills. Do you want to attend? We'll all go."

Xiao Ao refers to us, Big Ben and him. Although the Greek Papalukas also wants to integrate into this circle, he is not an official Pacers player after all.

So Reggie Miller didn't invite him, he only invited three new players, Da Ben, Zhang Tian and Xiao Ao.

"Okay." Zhang Tian didn't refuse. He was also very curious about Reggie Miller, the so-called "Jordan's old enemy".

In Zhang Tian's heart, the Pacers star is better than the veteran Michael Jordan in terms of character. The latter's dominance on the basketball court is beyond doubt, but off the court, that's okay. This is true of football stars, anyway, Zhang Tian has not been a fanboy from his previous life to the present.

Kobe and Vanessa have already gone back. This guy who grabbed the show on the sidelines also brought a lot of income to the Poly Pavilion today. Because of his existence, the Poly Pavilion has many more fans than usual, and the money will go into UCLA’s own pockets, the players in their team can’t enjoy a dime. Although there are scholarships, scholarships are not available to dozens of players. What’s more, scholarships are really a drop in the bucket compared to the income from game tickets. .

Of the three of Zhang Tian and the others, Xiao Ao was the only one who owned a car. Daben couldn't afford it because of his basic salary, but Zhang Tian simply didn't want to buy a car, so he just wanted to buy a car.

Beverly Hills is about 5 minutes away from the Pauley Pavilion, and came to Reggie Miller's villa.

At this time, a lot of people have come to the villa, but none of these people are Pacers players.

"Zhang, Big Ben, Jermaine, you are all here, let me introduce you to a few people." Reggie Miller dressed casually at home, far from the sternness of shooting on the basketball court.

This is Zhang Tian's first contact with an active NBA superstar. The former Kobe was a future superstar, and the current Black Mamba is still on the way.

Pulled by the boss, Zhang Tian and the others came into the house. At this time, there were many people in the house, but they were all men. The only two women were Miller's sister Cheryl, and the other was Miller's sister. Wife, Xiao Ao and Da Ben sighed. They thought that they could have a romantic encounter when they came to the old family, but looking at it now, it was entirely their own overthinking.

This made the two of them have the urge to pull away, but the two of them had an online emotional intelligence and didn't make such a stupid move. If they really did that, then they wouldn't be able to hang out with the Pacers in the new season.

"Let me introduce to you, these are my juniors from UCLA, he is Jason, he is Earl, he is Matt, and those three, this is currently the most topical rookie Zhang in the 99th class, then The two are Jermaine and Ben."

Da Ben and Xiao Ao greeted the UCLA trio in a friendly manner. Those three people were far less curious about Xiao Ao Da Ben than they were about Zhang Tianlai.

"Zhang, I heard that you are the three-point leader in the U19 World Youth Championship. Let's compete, just three-point."

Kapono, who is ranked in the top ten of RSCI high school, finally challenged Zhang Tian. If he used other methods to single out, Kapono would not be confident, but if it was only three points, he would have a lot of confidence.

Zhang Tian was teasing Miller's newly born little daughter. This little baby was pink and much whiter than his father, maybe because her mother was white.

"No, I practiced for eight or nine hours today and played another game, so I don't have the energy to go heads-up again."
Of course, this is just Zhang Tian's excuse. His real reason is that he doesn't like Kapono. Kapono was a shooter at his peak, and he had nothing but three-pointers. Can't compare, Korver can't defend well, but he has an attitude, and the first two are burdens that don't even have an attitude.

So in the NBA, the two of them had to retire at the end, while Korver, who has similar attributes to them, is still very active on the court. This is the difference.

Kapono has not yet foreseen his NBA career prospects. As the most eye-catching existence in the American high school basketball circle this year, he is very energetic. Zhang Tian's refusal made him feel a little embarrassed.

Reggie Miller's wife came over with a fruit plate, Big Ben and Xiao Ao finally focused on the fruit plate, Zhang Tian continued to tease the little baby girl, but the other party soon burst into tears.

"Oh, Lily must be hungry. I'll check the time, yes it's time to feed."

Reggie Miller's wife took the little girl to the bedroom to nurse. Zhang Tian has no "toys" to play time, so boring.

"Zhang, why did you refuse Jason's request? Don't tell me you don't have confidence in your shooting?" Reggie Miller, the boss of the Pacers, turned his elbow to his college juniors without helping his teammates. Zhang Tian suddenly asked My own journey with the Pacers was full of "worry."

Zhang Tian fell silent and didn't know how to answer the conversation. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Reggie Miller stood up and sat next to Zhang Tian at this time, and slapped him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, I In fact, there is no malice, because I heard that you coached their players at Stanford before, so I want you to coach Jason as well."

guide?That's a blow. Well, don't you know that Ryan Mendes changed schools because of this, "In that case, Reggie, why don't you shoot it yourself? In terms of shooting ability, you are better than me."

Zhang Tian's compliment is very useful to Reggie Miller, a stinky guy like this, "It's because I am too strong that I let you go. Don't underestimate Jason, he is mine. What about the successor?"

Kapono is Reggie Miller's successor?Zhang Tian was stunned, "Okay, but I have a request. After the competition with Jason, you also have to compete with me. I want to see my own strength compared with that of an all-star player like you." How big is the difference."

Kapono rolled his eyes at the side, fuck, didn't you just say that you were tired and had no energy, why now you want to go to Reggie Miller after the competition with yourself, do you look down on me so much?
