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

Chapter 54

Tang Casey's on-the-spot reaction became very fast from the second half. He did not let John Newman, an old arm and old leg, face Zhang Tian, ​​but chose Lucio Harris, a 92 rookie.

The opponent is a standard No. 86 player with a height of [-] feet [-] and a weight lighter than Zhang Tian, ​​only [-] kg.And Tang Casey's reason for letting him play is very simple-to consume the Pacers' physical energy at the third position.

Larry Bird didn't choose to change the game, but Rick Carlisle couldn't bear it anymore, "Larry, why don't you change the game now, he played the whole third quarter."

The king's eyes were still on the court, "No, according to the data obtained by Zhang and his trainers, it is no problem for him to play forty minutes per game, which gave Reggie and the others a great buffer." Rest space."

Larry Bird just wanted to lament how nice it is to be rich. If he played basketball by himself, he would be like Zhang Tian. What the hell is he playing basketball?

Zhang Tian has become a bloody cow in Larry Bird. Anyway, you kid is supporting me on the court, defending if you don’t score, and some of the work is your job.

Lucio Harris came up, and Zhang Tian's matchup pressure was much lower. Just at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he received a pass from Theodoros Papalukas and shot a three-pointer directly from the outside. With hesitation.

Swipe, the ball was scored, the score was pulled to 9 points, Travis Best faced Marbury, the Nets also wanted to return one, but the Pacers' backup point guard was crazy, and he just delayed the success , The rebound was picked up by Zhang Tian at the far end, he made a direct long pass, and Travis Best rushed towards the Nets' half court like a little electric donkey.Zhang Tian scored another rebound and an assist.

Larry Bird sat back again, but Tang Casey couldn't bear it anymore, "Defend, defend closely, don't let him shoot easily."

The head coach of the Nets is already crazy. The original two-goal point difference has now been pulled to double digits.

The biggest difference between Zhang Tian and his predecessor, Jaylen Rose, is that he dares to play and can shoot at any time, which seems very unreasonable.Like a fool.And Jaylen Rose played a lot more reasonably, completely following the instructions of the head coach and never going out of line.

Albert King stopped talking at all in the commentary booth. In the dormitory of Yao Ming and Liu Wei in Shanghai, seeing Zhang Tian playing like this, Liu Wei was a little envious, "Brother Tian played like this in the World Youth Championship, I played a lot Assists, unexpectedly entered the NBA, he is still the same, "

Yao Ming didn't speak, his eyes were still on the TV game, Zhang Tian's first game was so good, he couldn't be too distracted by it.

The Nets did not call a timeout, Lucio Harris was replaced in just one round, and Scott Burrell came up again.

"Hey, buddy, are you here to give away the head?" As soon as the latter entered the court, Marbury handed the ball to Scott Burrell, and Zhang Tian said this in front of him, Nets No. [-] After a while, Zhang Tian slapped the opponent's ball with his left hand. Bang, the ball rolled directly towards the Nets' half court. Travis Best and Marbury both accelerated forward, but they were still under weight. The lighter Best was fast, he got the ball and picked up two more points.

The score was drawn again, Tang Casey could only choose to pause, Marbury sat down on the bench, covered his head with a towel, he didn't want to hear any tactics now, 42 points in three quarters, I scored at least 50 points in this game, but it is still an extravagant hope to win.

What are the teammates doing? The Nets No. 33 is really about to collapse.He is not the kind of Kobe Jordan who likes to motivate his teammates. Compared with preaching, the opponent is more willing to prove it with his actions.But judging from the progress of this game, being a doer is not as effective as a talker.

Keith Van Horn, the No. 97 pick in 11, played very averagely at the No. 1 position in this game, whether he faced Austin Crohill or Jermaine O'Neill. He has taken 100 shots so far. Only hit [-] goal, just this kind of undercover teammate, unless Marbury scored [-] points, otherwise there is no hope of winning at all.

After the timeout, Don Casey replaced Van Horn. He replaced Jamil Faik. The latter is a tonnage insider. At least he is much better than Van Horn in confrontation. The second place in 97 was a space-type insider who was born in the wrong era. , as the first white player in NBA history to be on the cover of SLAM magazine, although his career can not be called a big parallel import, it is still a bit misleading compared to his pick.

Jamil Faik and Jim McIrvine are full of confrontation and strength, but apart from these two, they can't help Marbury at all on the offensive end. When Marbury's outside sight is no longer , the Pacers suddenly retracted the inside line, which made the lone wolf too aggrieved.

Marbury scored 52 points and 5 assists in the game, but the Nets still lost to the Pacers at home with a score of 119:112 and encountered a black opener.

张天作为职业生涯的首场NBA比赛，则是拿到了18分5个篮板3个助攻1次抢断3个犯规1个失误的数据。

In this game, if it weren't for Van Horn's performance to be undercover enough, he played his usual performance, and the Pacers would have gone far.

The Pacers played best here is Reggie Miller, he scored 27 points, Mark Jackson assisted as many as 13 times, but the score was fixed at 8 points, just two points and a double-double, but big fart .Shares did not brush.

Larry Bird took Reggie Miller to the press conference, but he didn't know that the other party was trying to hate Zhang Tian.

A TNT reporter asked, "Reggie, in this game, Zhang scored 18 points and 5 rebounds. As his teammate, how would you rate his performance?"

Pacers No. 34 has never known what low-key is. If a person can't show off and pretend to be aggressive, it would be too monotonous. "Ten, Zhang didn't score the most points in this game, but many of his functions on the court are not reflected in the data. For example, in the third quarter, he was stuck to the Nets at the third position, while I and other teammates had More breathing time. Before this, the Pacers have never had a teammate like this, and the opponent basically used this trick against me. I don’t need to say the result.”

How come Jaylen Rose and Dale Davis haven't been gone for a year yet, and you abandoned them so quickly. Didn't you say they were your best brothers and partners last season?
Reggie Miller's remarks caused some fluctuations after the game. Jalen Rose and Dale Davis were very upset. When they were interviewed, they spoke unanimously. When they meet the Pacers, they must let that A rookie knows what the NBA is.
