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

Chapter 72 Miller Shouting Again

Wilkins' all-in-one handouts are still of great help to Zhang Tian. Although Rudy Gay's card is not a peak card, it has a good foundation.

Wilkins also asked Zhang Tian about shooting. Zhang Tian suggested that the opponent shoot three-pointers and stop obsessing about making two-pointers.

A day later, Zhang Tian followed the Pacers to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz.

As soon as the Pacers arrived at the gate of the Delta Center in this game, fans from Salt Lake City rushed up holding various signs.

"fuck, you fucking bastard, you're gonna lose tonight."

"Besides dunking, what else can you do."

"You shoot like a gorilla."

………………

These fans undoubtedly came from Wilkins for Dominic. Although Wilkins is now just a player with a basic salary and no longer the essence of the human movie, the hatred of the people of Salt Lake City towards him is still the same as before. .

Larry Bird looked at the clamoring fans, feeling a little bit embarrassed in his heart. Regarding Dominique being the choice of Wilkins back then, Larry Bird felt that there was nothing wrong with it. If it was him, he would do the same. After all, the Jazz already had the singles champion Dantley back then. To play as a substitute for the opponent, unless it is a heartless player, otherwise no one would be willing to agree. After all, the lifespan of a professional player is limited. But the fans don't care about this, they only saw the "betrayal" of the Jazz by the essence of human movies.

Sloan's lineup for this game is no different from the past, John Stackston, Jeff Hornacek, Brian Russell, Karl Malone, Greg Ostertag, this year's draft , Sloan selected four people in one go, Quincy Lewis, Andrei Kirilenko, Scott Padgett, Eddie Lucas.

Of these four, Andrei Kirilenko's contract in Russia has not ended, and he did not come to the Jazz to report, while Eddie Lucas was given up by the Jazz. That guy has no confrontation at all, and Sloan doesn't want a Waste occupies the quota.The performance of the other two rookies was completely below Sloan's expectations.

Although Zhang Tian can't play, it doesn't hinder Sloan's love for Zhang Tian at all. This guy is a piece of jade, an existence whose upper limit far exceeds that of Kirilenko. It's a pity that I found out too late, and let the corn field pick up cheap .

The starters on the Pacers side, Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Dominique Wilkins, O'Neal, Rick Schmitz, the Pacers have a lot of pressure on the inside in this game.

Sure enough, Karl Malone, who played at home, was very brave. He gave Jermaine an elbow at the beginning. Fortunately, the latter flashed fast, otherwise he would have become Nash's second.

Human Movie Essence followed Zhang Tian's suggestion, instead of shooting the long two-pointer, he scored a three-pointer at the beginning, which caught Brian Russell by surprise.

Dominique is that Wilkins' three-point shooting rate is low because he practiced less and made fewer shots.Before this game, he made a surprise attack.Sloan did not expect that the Jazz "traitor" would surprise himself so much.

Brian Russell, as the background man of the old hooligan finals, his personal defensive awareness is okay. After seeing that Dominique is the first three-pointer scored by Wilkins, he will not give it to the opponent. What a shot opportunity.

He put all his attention on Wilkins, but Reggie Miller faced Hornacek and fired. Both of them are shooting players. The king is almost there.

Although Jermaine could not beat Malone single-handedly, he still scored points by shooting. Rick Schmitz also played hide-and-seek with Greg Ostertag as much as possible. Just on the sidelines, as long as they dare, Zhang Tian will definitely make them regret it.

The score of the two sides in the first half was 55:40. Dominique Wilkins scored 5 of 4 in the half and scored 10 points and 3 rebounds very efficiently. He is not the Pacers with the highest score. Jim Miller, someone attracted firepower for him, and this guy got up again, 13 of 7, 5 of 3 three-pointers, and got 19 points and 2 assists. The Jazz Malone scored in double figures, but when the Pacers When a certain explosive head came up, the postman began to feel uncomfortable, because he found that his omnipotent power crush was not working well.

The entire Delta Center was still noisy, which made Ron Boone and Craig Bolejak very embarrassed. Their voices were completely covered by the home audience.

Larry Miller sat in the box watching the fans vent, the face of the Jazz boss was very calm.It has been 1985 years since they bought the Jazz from Sam Bati Stone in 14. In the 14 years, the Jazz have reached the finals twice, but unfortunately they all failed. Now that Utah Shuangsha is old, the championship seems to be It is also drifting away from the Jazz.

"If we still can't break out of the West this season, let's rebuild. As for John and Carl, they are willing to stay in Salt Lake City. I will not refuse. If they leave, I will also bless them. Now Salt Lake City has reached the time when it will not be broken. gone."

General manager Kevin O'Connor stood aside. He is the general manager of the Jazz, but his status is similar to that of Donny Walsh in the Pacers. The coach has the final say, they are just tool people.

Larry Miller wanted to rebuild the Jazz. He had an idea a long time ago. It was born last season. Last season was the best opportunity. As a result, they were solved by the Trail Blazers in six games in the semifinals. Although it seems that it is not difficult for the Jazz to win 50 games this season, but in the regular season, if you win 50 games, 60 games, 70 games, and 80 games, it is meaningless to get out early in the playoffs. The contest in the playoffs is not that you can have the last laugh if you keep leading the standings.

Of course, this kind of regular season championship, the team that finally won the championship is not without it, but Kevin O'Connor doesn't think the Jazz has this capital.

In the second half of the game, Malone played very hard. The Pacers had nothing to do with the pick-and-roll between him and Stockton. It was the Pacers who won the away game to end their losing streak, and at the same time brought the record to 16-7.

The best player of the game was awarded to Reggie Miller. This guy made 19 of 10, 8 of 5 three-pointers, scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Shout out to Spike Lee.

"I don't know how far the Pacers can go this season. Anyway, I can be sure that I will play against the Knicks. My performance will definitely not be too bad."
