Chapter 65 Spurs Tradition, Self-Exiled Rookie
The Pacers backup guard lowered his head, not daring to say a word. His pressure this season is the greatest in several seasons. Mark Jackson currently leads the league with an average of 10 assists per game.

This also means that I will definitely have to sit through on the bench, so if there is any opportunity to play, I must firmly grasp it.

Larry Bird didn't spray Travis Best anymore, but looked at the Greek defender, "Theodoros, you go."

In seven regular season games, Papa Lucas averaged less than 10 minutes per game, but every minute he played, he would do his best just like Best. Sometimes, he would go too far.Who made Mark Jackson a second spring for this crooked neck tree this season.

Papa Lucas came up, and the others remained unchanged. On the Spurs side, the junior general Avery Johnson came into battle again. He and Duncan were playing with three substitutes.

Theodoros Papalukas came on the field and Avery Johnson started to press him. The Greek had a lot of forced errors in the previous game. Faced with this situation, he gave the ball. It was given to Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian faced the veteran Jeremy Kersey. He didn’t move a step. .

Swipe, the ball went into the net hollow, Larry Bird on the sidelines smiled, and he sat on the bench again.Popovich called Jeremy Kersey to the sidelines, "That kid jumps and shoots again, you can do this, but do you know what to do in a concealed enough way?"

Jeremy Kersey was drafted in the same draft as the old hooligan. In the era when he first entered the league, his style of play was much tougher than it is now. The infamous legion of bad boys, it's just an injury to your face or something, it won't kill people's jobs.And Popovich just had a problem with his off-the-board trick just now. This guy really does everything he can to win.

Neither Larry Bird nor the Pacers players noticed this scene. After all, it is not uncommon for the head coach to explain players on the sidelines.

The No. 21 forward used his footsteps to wipe the basket with a backhand and scored points. In terms of the comprehensiveness of the offense, the current core of the Spurs is much richer than the predecessor David Robinson. Notoriously soft.

The Pacers attacked, Theodoros Papa Lucas did not throw the ball to Zhang Tian at the first time, but used a shift to break through the little general's defense, Terry Porter assisted the defense, and Jeremy Kersey At around 45 degrees on the right side, it was not too far away from Zhang Tian. The Greek didn't hesitate, and directly gave the ball to Zhang Tian. Although God's left hand was empty, the Greek point guard knew who was the core in the substitute lineup.

Zhang Tian still wanted to shoot after receiving the ball. Jeremy Kersey bravely went up. The moment he jumped up, the Spurs' substitute No. [-] stretched out his sinful feet. He finally planned to follow the instructions of the head coach. Zhang Tian didn't expect that without Bowen, Popovich could make Kersi competent for the role of Dirty Bi.

However, he caught a glimpse of Corsi's little move during the jump. Zhang Tian didn't panic. After all, his current physical fitness Guy is also a famous spring man, and his ability to stay in the air is still good. The ball flew out, and then doubled. Feet spread apart, and slowly landed on the ground. During the landing process, one arm bent up. Before the Spurs' substitute No. [-] could react, he directly elbowed Duang, and the latter fell to the ground in response, and the shot also went in. up.

The referee No. 13 rushed over immediately, and Popovich jumped angrily on the sidelines, "Shet, murder, this is murder..."

When the referee wanted to make a ruling against Zhang Tian, ​​when Popovich beeped, the latter came to the head coach of the Spurs, "Murder, you old man is the least qualified to say this sentence, just now Jeremy What did Corsi do, I think you know better than me, so..." Bang, Popovich was directly waiting for Zhang Tian, ​​and he fell to the ground with a miserable sound, but Zhang Tian didn't wait The referee issued the ticket, but went directly to the player tunnel.The entire Alamo Arena was also set on fire.

Larry Bird's face was gloomy on the sidelines. He also understood why Zhang Tian was so angry. Just now, Jeremy Kersey was stepping up, so Zhang Tian was so angry.

Kersi lay on the floor for a while and then got up. Popovich couldn't do it. He was carried out by the Spurs team doctor directly.

Hubie Brown and Skip Carey didn't know what to say. After a long time, Carey said, "It's very important for a professional player to restrain his character, but in the first seven games, Zhang, He has always been very gentle, and there must be a reason for his anger."

Hubie Brown didn't answer the call. He and Carre actually saw Jeremy Kersey's small movements. As long as Zhang Tian's feet were still together after he shot and fell, he would definitely be injured. It will be interesting to see what Popovich said to Kersey on the sidelines before this round.

Referee No. 13 was the one with the least sense of presence. He thought Zhang Tian would defend himself, but he didn't know that the Pacers rookie was so upright. After beating the two of them, he directly chose to exile himself.

Larry Bird called a timeout, and the atmosphere among the Pacers players became very dignified.

"I think you all understand why Zhang was angry just now, so don't let Zhang down, the game must be won."

Larry Bird's tone was very serious, and Reggie Miller, the trash talker, was the first to go crazy, "Don't worry, we will definitely avenge Zhang, damn it, if you can't beat it, you can't afford to use outside tactics. "

On the Spurs side, after Popovich was carried out, Mike Budenholzer became the interim head coach. Compared with Popovich, this person is not so good at watching food.

So he put all his hopes on the No. 21 core. Duncan was very silent at this time. He was disappointed by Zhang Tian's irrationality, but at the same time he was disappointed by the head coach's off-the-market move. In the eyes of the 97 champion Well, competitive sports is all about winning and losing, but you can't just use all kinds of tricks in the process for the sake of winning. If this is the case, then it's better not to have this kind of championship.

Larry Bird faced Mike Budenholzer in all aspects. The Spurs' twin towers performed well, but Mario Elie was still very undercover without Zhang Tian's defense. He slashed throughout the game 3 points, 11 of 1 shooting, the Spurs accepted another bitter fruit at home, and the Pacers also ushered in their own four-game winning streak.
