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

Chapter 45 Team Training Match

The preseason has not yet started, and Larry Bird has started special training for the team.King Wang didn't want to end his coaching career with regrets.This year is the Pacers' best chance.

"Zhang, Travis, Theodore Ross, Jermaine, Austin, five of you, Mark, Chris, Derek, Ben, Jermaine, five of you." Jermaine Jackson Like Battelle, they are two temporary workers recruited by Larry Bird in the preseason. Whether they can stay in the Pacers, their performance in the preseason will be very important.

Zhang Tian's point guard is Travis Best. Zhang Tian doesn't like this small guard very much because the opponent can jump very well.

"Break the four of you and let me single-handedly fight Mark. I'll let the other party know that it's not his old man's world anymore." It's not like the training game started before the performance.

Travis Best's volume is not low, big ass. Mark Jackson can be heard, but the former is for the latter to hear, because Best feels that Mark Jackson is blocking his way in the Pacers.

This kind of dispute within the team is the norm in competitive sports. Although Zhang Tian had no professional experience before this, he had heard of it a lot in his previous life.

So he wanted to single out Mark Jackson and let him go. He really thought that he would be the king of singles after he starred in "he got game". Last summer, the former was invited by Spike Lee to star in that movie A small role, but also the Pacers backup guard's favorite thing to show off, because other than this, he has no honor in the NBA.

Larry Bird, as a legendary superstar, Travis Best's Xiao Jiujiu, he can guess, maybe this is why he arranged the opponent opposite Mark Jackson.

Because it was a training match, everyone let it go. Travis Best wanted to give Mark Jackson a blow, so he went up with a high speed, trying to use this trick to pass the Pacers in the starting lineup.

The bodies of the two collided, and the former almost staggered to the ground, and the ball was poked by Mark Jackson at this time, but he didn't get it, and the wingspan was there.

Jermaine Jackson and Chris Mullin rushed to the rolling ball at the same time, but there was one person faster than them, a guy wearing the No. 7 jersey. All of a sudden, it was caught from the hands of the two, and then it was a long pass. Travis Best's speed was fully reflected at this moment. Zhang Tian's long pass was a bit too big, but the Pacers' backup point guard still caught up. Yes, and sent the ball into the basket on the main side.

Travis Best was very happy, and Zhang Tian became more and more pleasing to the eye. The former was upset at choosing such a rookie because of Jaylen Rose's departure. young people.

"Zhang, you did a good job. That's it. If you steal all the balls to me, they will lose."

Steal it all for you?Do you really think I'm Elvin Robertson? A large part of the reason why the NBA has been unable to rank among the four major professional sports leagues is that the league is filled with too many idiots. There was a special IQ test in the previous life, and the average IQ of NBA players was only 83. This also means that some players don't even have 80 or 70, so it's easy to understand why many players with tens of millions in the NBA go bankrupt after retiring.

And Travis Best is a double-low type of "talent", with a low IQ and worrying EQ.

Mark Jackson was angry, they attacked here, and they didn’t do anything when they got to the front, they just turned around and beat Best to death. In the finals of the previous life, Jackson relied on this trick to help the Pacers continue their lives. lost.

He pushed Travis Best twice in a row, and pushed the [-]-foot-[-] guy into the inside line, then made an emergency stop, shot a jumper, and the ball scored. Zhang Tian wanted to help defend, but Chris Mu Lin this God left hand wrapped.

Pacers No. [-] looked at the big ass, pursed his lips and said nothing, he was dissatisfied with the other party in his heart, what was so great about that guy, he rarely scored on the field, he was nothing without his teammates, Travis Best came to Mark Jackson this time and chose to let Austin Crohill play the pick-and-roll.

The Pacers sneered at the starter, "Travis, didn't you say you were going to fight me one-on-one, what kind of man do you call your teammates, keep coming."

The face of Pacers No. [-] was flushed, and Larry Bird stopped the game, "Okay, let's dismiss our respective training now."

The big butt was a little less interested. He could have blown up that bastard who didn't know the heights of the world, but it was a pity that Larry Bird stopped him.

The players split up for practice, and Larry Bird and two assistant coaches arrived in the office.

"You two, what do you think of the training match just now?"

Mike Hart is still thinking about it, and Rick Carlisle has already figured out the answer, "Travis still hasn't changed his problem of only attacking but not passing the ball after several seasons. In the offense, in fact, Zhang has already thrown Chris away from the other side. If he passed the ball, it must be a direct goal, but he didn't. He chose to single out Mark, and it failed. The ball was robbed and he couldn't even get those two points."

Rick Carlisle still has the same impression of Zhang Tian, ​​but he did not belittle the latter because of this. Zhang Tian's strengths and weaknesses are obvious.

Mike Hart's thinking is not much different from Rick Carlisle's. What he thinks is another point, "Jaylen was sent away by us. The current team only has Zhang, Chris, and Reggie at the second and third positions. Derek has four people, and I think we need to add more personnel."

Larry Bird also had no choice. When he traded with the Raptors before, he actually wanted Derek McKay to join in, so that he could keep Rose, but the Raptors didn’t do it. The veteran with a salary of more than 400 yuan has no interest at all, so Jaylen Rose and Hoiberg can only be sent.

"Four people are almost enough. There are no good products in the current free market. As for the undrafted picks in the team, except for the Greek, the other two cannot meet my requirements unless they There were some things that really surprised me in the preseason. "

Larry Bird pays attention to the construction of the team. He will not recruit a group of veterans who only get paid and do not work in order to make up the number of people.

Neither Rick Carlisle nor Mike Hart spoke. The two of them actually envied the king. Although the other party was not the general manager, Donny Walsh looked like a display.This is the highest level of a coach.
