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

Chapter 64 Undercover Ellie, the Powerful Stone Buddha

Rose's current weight of 113 kg is completely crushing for Zhang Tian, ​​so the opponent plays the fourth position in many games. He sacrificed it.

Faced with the physical crush from the Spurs' No. 45 position, Zhang Tian did not take the initiative to ask for the ball, but ran to the right at a [-]-degree angle. Rose naturally followed. Mark Jackson showed a top guard at this time Looking at the overall situation, he handed the ball to Reggie Miller, the trash talker received the ball, faced Mario Oli with a three-pointer, and the ball went into the net.

"Mario, your defense is as weak as a girl's. Can you put some pressure on me?"

Mario Alley didn't expect Reggie Miller to be so arrogant in the away game, and [-] spectators rioted in the Alamo Arena.

Even a lot of popcorn and Coke cans flew from the auditorium, and the anger of the home audience was completely ignited by the Pacers core.

The Spurs attacked, the audience at the Alamo rang out, David Robinson received the ball, faced Rick Schmitz, and he scored the ball with a small hook behind his back. It will be very weak. Although David Robinson is the one with the stronger space attribute among the four major centers, it is still difficult for Rick Schmitz.

On the Pacers side, Rose's close defense was not as tight as last time. Zhang Tian reached out for the ball, and Mark Jackson gave it out. The moment Zhang Tian got the ball, Rose bounced over. Zhang Tian didn't shake, but A nimble turn passed Rose, and he went inside. Mario Alley made up the defense, but Zhang Tian chose to shoot from the spot, bang, swipe.

Rose tried to block the shot from behind but hit Zhang Tian's hand and didn't touch the ball, but the ball still flew into the net.

Referee No. 13 signaled that this was a 2+1, and Popovich really jumped on the sidelines. "fuck, that's a good hat, why foul my player."

The home fans also booed to express their dissatisfaction. Zhang Tian walked to the free throw line, and the abuse from the surrounding audience became louder.

The goal was scored, Zhang Tian got his fifth personal point, and Rose did nothing, so he got a foul.

But Popovich did not take him down. The Spurs coach knew very well that there were not many team strikers who could limit Zhang Tian. Those who were faster than him were not as fast as him, and those who were taller than him were not as fast as him.The most important thing is the original weakness of holding the ball. This guy didn't have it during the draft.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides fought each other. At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led by 24 points at 17:7 in the away game. Although the Spurs' offense was mediocre, the defense still allowed the Pacers to narrow down the score in a single quarter. Within 30 points, there are only a handful of teams in the entire league that can do this.

Zhang Tian played 10 minutes in the first quarter and scored 5 points and 1 rebound. He took 4 shots in this quarter, scored in the first two, and hit iron in the last two.

Of course, Mario Elie on the Spurs side is really a scam. He directly gave Popovich a 3-for-0 in the first quarter, which made Popovich have an urge to kill him.

The Spurs lag behind Avery at this point. If the latter plays a little more normally, they will also score 20 points. Although the offense in this era is not very fast, it is too unreasonable to score only 17 points in a single quarter.

"Zhang, he really attracted everyone's attention in the first quarter, and that fellow Reggie Miller scored 10 points in silence, including two three-pointers." Hubie Brown After looking at the technical statistics, I was a little dumbfounded. This Reggie Miller is really good at letting the rookie absorb firepower and hatred on the front line, while he frantically farms output in the back.

Malik Rose was extremely tired, he weighed so much more than Zhang Tian, ​​almost the whole quarter was where Zhang Tian went, and where he went, it's no wonder he wasn't tired.

On the other hand, Larry Bird didn't have the awareness to take the lead and let the main players rest. "Zhang, in the second quarter, is there any problem with you continuing to lead the team?"

Zhang Tian looked up at the ceiling, "No problem."

It's a good thing that the head coach values ​​himself. Just look at Steve Francis. Paul Silas averages less than 15 minutes of playing time per game. It's not unreasonable for him to leave Charlotte. Why?Now they let Francis go, because they need to use it to trade for a good bargaining chip, but Tan Huaxiu's thorny attributes have been seen clearly by the entire league, and this deal is destined to shrink a lot.

In the second quarter of the game, Zhang Tian played with Travis Best, Mullin, Big Ben, and Crohill together. Theodoros Papalukas did not play. The Greeks still played in these seven games. Adapt to the rhythm of the NBA.It depends on the length of this time. If it is too long, it will definitely be given up by the Pacers.

On the Spurs side, Duncan led Jeremy Kersey, Terry Porter and others to play. Facing Crohill Duncan came up and hit the iconic board.

Travis Best bullied Terry Porter's old arms and legs to use his speed, forced a breakthrough to the inside, and scored with a backhand layup. Zhang Tian didn't even touch the ball in this attack.

As a famous pioneer, Terry Porter's organizational skills are not very strong, but he has a clear mind and understands who is the big brother, so in the Pacers' half court, he gave the ball to Duncan again. This time, the person defending Duncan is no longer Crohill was Big Ben, and the No. 21 rookie had a [-]-[-] confrontation with Big Ben, but the latter shot from the spot in the face of the explosive head, so he could only look at the ball and sigh.

Daben's defensive strength and speed are good, but the height difference between him and Duncan is flawed, so in the next round, Crohill was still allowed to defend.

And Travis Best obviously got carried away with his play. He still got the ball and passed Porter and rushed inside, bang bang bang, Shifo made three big caps in a row, and Larry Bird called a timeout.

In just a few minutes, the Pacers went from leading by 7 points to trailing by 4 points. During this period, Duncan scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 assist. His total score has now reached With 14 points, he was the second player to score in double figures after Reggie Miller. Although Zhang Tian scored in the second quarter, he followed Travis Best and ran back. The Pacers' backup guard scored in the first attack. Finally, I felt that I could do it again. As a result, in the next three offenses, Duncan told him with his strong defensive ability-you can't do it.

"Pass the ball, pass the ball, you are a point guard, not a shooting guard, have you forgotten what I said before?" Larry Bird looked at Travis Best and really strangled him. The impulse, how good the situation was suddenly reversed.
