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

Chapter 51 The No. [-] pick living on the three-point line and the Greek who is still adapting
"The Pacers got off to a good start, but Xiao Zhang has to say that in the first NBA game, he went 2-for-2 in the first quarter. He didn't have any stage fright at all. Now he just doesn't know if the Pacers can keep their lead. In the garbage time of the fourth quarter, the bus also has a chance to play."

Teacher Zhang Lili spit in the commentary hall of CCTV. Zhang Tian was 2 for 2 in the first quarter. It was accidental, but it was also inseparable from his usual training. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. This sentence The word is always the truth.

The atmosphere off the Pacers court was very lively. Reggie Miller scored the highest score in the first quarter of the team. He scored 13 points. Mark Jackson's 7 assists were basically from him and Zhang Tian.

Larry Bird is very satisfied with Zhang Tian's performance. The opponent's offense is not inferior to that of his predecessor Jaylen Rose. The most important thing is that this guy is young and has room to grow.And Jaylen Rose has been finalized, which is the main reason why the king chose to trade Rose.

"We lead by 14 points, so in the second quarter, Theodoros, Chris, Travis, Jermaine, Ben, you five go." Derek McGee heard the head coach from the bench. Arrangement, I almost fainted, so I was abandoned by the forced king.This is the NBA, you have no strength, you will only be abandoned by the team.

On Don Casey's side, the Nets' lineup was adjusted in the second quarter. Scott Burrell at the third position became veteran John Newman, and the Romanian giant Muresan was replaced at the fifth position.Immediately, the scene on the field became better. Ben, who was less than two meters tall, faced off against a giant who was over seven feet five. This match was really interesting.

Theodore Ross Papalucas was put in the second position, and Travis Best was in possession of the ball, facing Stephen Marbury, a junior.He chose the speed. The lone wolf can't deal with Mark Jackson, but it is still very easy to deal with the senior from the Hornet. Marbury's lateral speed is acceptable, no matter how the Pacers' backup point guard flickers and moves. The method passed in the first time, and 24 seconds also began to pass in the opponent's hands.

Seeing that there was no chance, Travis Best chose to make an emergency stop and hit the ball. Muresan got stuck under the basket and wanted to get the rebound, but there was a basketball player wearing the basketball No. [-] jersey. Guy, soars into the air, grabs the rebound over the Romanian's head, and throws it outside.

The man who received the ball was Theodoros Papalukas, the Greek defender's first choice was not to shoot, but to break through, one foot stepped forward, Kendal Gill tried to steal, but Theodoros Papalukas Cass chose to dribble behind his back to change hands, and the ball went to the other hand, but a guy wearing a white No. 33 jersey appeared behind the Greek defender. With a snap, the ball was broken, and the Nets counterattacked and scored .

Larry Bird shook his head on the sidelines. Papa Lucas still needs some time to adapt to the NBA. I hope this day will come as soon as possible. The existence of the Pacers will give the Pacers' back line an extra layer of insurance.The stage of the playoff finals is all about the depth of the lineup. If you still have an eight-man rotation at that moment, you will die coldly.

Travis Best didn't go to comfort the Greek, he still pushed forward quickly, this time he didn't hit Marbury hard, but gave the ball to Theodoros Papalukas, and he went to the weak Run sideways.

Theodoros Papa Lucas was still clinging to Kendall. In the first quarter, he was sprayed half to death by Don Casey because he didn't defend.

Facing Kendall Gill's close body, the Greek took a step back, arched his body, and broke through from the left. Kendall Gill blocked the opponent with a sliding step, but Theodoros Papalukas chose a reverse Turning around, he passed Kendall Gill, but Marbury appeared around him like a nightmare again, and the ball was broken by the lone wolf again.

Less than 1 minute into the second quarter, the Nets recovered four points with the "help" of the Greeks.

Larry Bird looked at the bench. Veterans like Reggie Miller should rest more, so... "Zhang, come on, replace Theodoros, is there any problem?"

Zhang Tian threw the towel aside, shook his head, playing the second position, in fact, it is not much different from the third position.

A dead ball chance, the official timeout came, the five substitutes took their seats, and the Greek defender had a sense of foreboding.

"Theodore Ross, you have talent and strength, but this is not Europe. This is the NBA. In Europe, you can rely on your personal ability to play one against three or one against five. But in the NBA, you can only start from scratch, so Next, Zhang will take your place. "The European league emphasizes teamwork, so Papa Lucas will stand out in that atmosphere, but in the NBA, he is not even a chicken.

The Greek defender lowered his head. From the summer league, the preseason to the current regular season, Europe's No. 1 defender thought he had successfully adapted to the NBA, but the past minute broke his illusion.

"The Greek still needs to adapt, but there are already Matthew Leonis, Kukoc, Schramf, Nowitzki and others. It should not be difficult for this guy to adapt to the NBA. With this determination."

Marv Albert mentioned that since the 90s, there have been more European players in the NBA, among which Stankovic, the Yugoslavian basketball giant, has played a big role.

After Zhang Tian came on the field, the opponent became Kendall Gill. It would be great if it was John Newman. The rookie in 82 would definitely not be able to defend himself. of.

After the timeout, Travis Best still played very "reasonably" at the Nets halftime and gave the ball to Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian received the ball, and Kendall Gill posted it. In the first quarter, the opponent's The two three-pointers still made the New Jersey people remember. Zhang Tian took the ball and shook it. Kendall Gill didn't jump, and the other teammates didn't have any good opportunities. Zhang Tian stepped forward with his right foot.

The No. [-] pick of the New Jersey Nets withdrew his body a little bit back. He wanted to block Zhang Tian's breakthrough route, while the No. [-] pick of the Pacers saw that the space between the two sides was stretched and did not break through. Instead, he retracted his feet. At the same time, there was an emergency stop and another three-point shot from the outside.

"Zhang, did you make another shot? He made another three-pointer. Reggie didn't dare to do that in the Pacers. This guy reminds me of Mark Price and Craig Hodges." Albert King Feeling that his three views have been blown apart, the Pacers have chosen something strange, so they just grab the outside line and shoot when they have the opportunity.

"No, I think he is more like Antoine Walker, the core of Boston, but Zhang is not as strong as Antoine."

Antoine Walker, nicknamed "Black Bird", is the most forward-looking forward player in the NBA. He was a strange man who lived on the three-point line in the 90s. This does not prevent the opponent's obsession with three-pointers.

In the amazement of the two commentators, Zhang Tiangou scored another three-pointer like shit. The only thing that made Travis Best unhappy was that the ball changed from an assist to an indirect one because of Zhang Tian's luck. assists.
