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

Chapter 62 The winning streak is terminated, the defending champion away
Zhang Tian and Adrien Brody exchanged contact information, Xiao Ao and Da Ben also got the phone numbers of those two women, only Travis Best, a hard-working guy, got nothing, I thought today It is possible to relive the old dream and cooperate with Spike Lee, but the black director never showed that intention from the beginning to the end.

A day later, Spike Lee's new film "Sam's Summer" held a press conference. Among the main actors, none of the NBA stars who went there that day were selected, but Adrien Brody was selected, and he still starred in that unlucky guy. odd role.

"Adrian, take care to protect your nose." After Adrien Brody got the role, he immediately announced the good news to Zhang Tianlai.

The latter's words made the future film star puzzled, but he still accepted Zhang Tian's kindness, "I will pay attention, thank you Zhang, and bless me."

Bless you bastard, this movie is a weakened version of "Rainy Night Butcher", with an investment of 2200 million and a global box office of less than 4000 million. It really went to grandma's house completely.

Zhang Tian is very strange, why Travis Best is so obsessed with such a movie that hit the street, you are a basketball player, big brother.

The Pacers' backup guard was not in a very high mood for a few days, and Larry Bird also noticed this. He pulled Zhang Tian's trio over, because the king knew that the Pacers' backup guard and the three in the team The Pacers rookies are the best.

"Do you know why Travis' mood is so low?"

Big Ben and Little Ao are both rough people. They have been thinking about how to ask out those two little stars every day for the past two days, and then... As for the "big brother" Travis Best, they really didn't pay attention .

"Travis feels depressed because he lost the role in Spike Lee's new film, but I believe he can adjust quickly."

After listening to Zhang Tian's words, Larry Bird also understood. He also knows a little about Travis Best. The other party played a small role in Spike Lee's heads-up last year. Of course, it's not just him, O'Neill , Old Hooligan, Pi Erye and others are also playing soy sauce in it, starring Denzel Washington and Milla Jovovich.

On the contrary, Ray Allen, a student at the same level who did not get along with Kobe, played the leading role and played with two professional actors. As for acting skills, he didn't even have one-third or one percent of him.

Therefore, with a cost of 2500 million, the box office will only have 2200 million hits.

Larry Bird patted Zhang Tian on the shoulder, "Well, as long as Travis is fine, play well, don't think about what you have and what you don't have, a person's energy is limited."

The three new aids are all valued by the king, but the current best small forward in history is still more optimistic about Zhang Tian, ​​because compared with Da Ben and Xiao Ao, Zhang Tian has more room for improvement, and his ability to read the game is super , those two are not weak either.

The NBA game is still going on, and in the next four games, the Pacers did not extend their victory.

They fell under the iron heel of Miami. In the game against the Heat, Zhang Tian faced Mashburn, nicknamed "The Monster". This guy is the lower limit model of James, and the upper limit is Magic Johnson.

Mashburn has been plagued by Riley in the past few seasons, but he is a man who can score 50 points under Pippen's hands. When Zhang Tian faces this strong man, there is only one word—— abuse.

Larry Bird pitted Zhang Tian and Ma Shiben against each other throughout the entire game, a monster that even the peak Batman could not handle, of course a rookie like Zhang Tian could not do it either, although he made Ma Shiben 16 of 5 by relying on his physical strength and interference. Only 12 points, but the latter still had 6 assists and 6 rebounds. He successfully attracted Zhang Tian's defensive attention, making it impossible for the Pacers to help defend the Heat's other players at the third position.

张天个人全场比赛8中2，砍下了4分3个篮板1个助攻的数据，他连续得分上双的记录也被终结了。

In this game, the Pacers lost 12 points in the away game. The Heat's best performance was undoubtedly the Kidney Warrior. He scored a super double-double with 33 points and 16 rebounds.

After the game, the monster Mashburn hugged Zhang Tian, ​​"Zhang, your defense is fine, you just need to strengthen your strength now, don't gain too much weight, or your knees won't be able to bear it. Come on, you played well." Mashburn looked fierce, but he was a very soft person in his heart. He didn't want Zhang Tian to go his own way, and he was suffering from knee injuries at the moment. In contrast to the other two, Kidd and Jackson, one is more popular than the other. The reason why this combination will disintegrate is because of those two people.

After Zhang Tian played against Mashburn this time, he finally understood how far he was from the third position in the league.

In the next three games, the Pacers refused to lose in a row, and won a wave of three consecutive victories, making the record 6-1, and their opponents in the next game were also released.

The name of this opponent is the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs' record is 6-2, and the defending champion's record is still very good. They have not been thrown off by the increasingly fierce competition in the Western Conference.

In this game, the Pacers played away. They just solved the mosaic led by Olajuwon back to back in the last game.Without the addition of Steve Francis, Mosaic is much weaker than it has been historically.

The Pacers established a 20-point lead in three quarters, so this back-to-back is not a particularly big challenge for the Indiana.

"For tonight's game, I want to adjust the starting lineup, with Mark Jackson at number one, Reggie Miller at number two, Zhang at number three, Jermaine O'Neal at number four, and Rick Schmitz at number five. Maine, I hope you can hold all of Tim Duncan's attention in this game. Zhang, you also need to attract the attention of Mario Alley and others on the perimeter. As long as the two of you pull the formation apart, we have a good chance of winning big."

Mario Alley, this person is familiar to Zhang Tian. His most famous battle was in the playoffs with the Suns. He received a pass from Horry and killed the game with a three-pointer, and blew a kiss to the Suns bench. , Elegantly called the kiss of death, and averaged 15.4 points per game in the subsequent finals, setting a career high in both field goal percentage and three-point percentage.

His outstanding performance also made O'Neal's dream of the finals shattered, watching Olajuwon win his second FMVP trophy.

So Mario Eli is really not a good character to deal with, but compared to Jamal Marsh, this guy is much easier to deal with in terms of physical fitness, and he is already 36 years old. In terms of physical strength, I will definitely occupy the absolute Advantage.
