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

Chapter 74
Faced with Sam Cassell's oppressive defense, Mark Jackson dribbled the ball steadily to the Bucks' half. There was a step between Big Dog and Zhang Tian, ​​and the big-ass point guard went straight to the right. After a cross pass, Zhang Tian got the ball, ignored the Bucks defending at No. 34 in front of him, and shot a three-pointer angrily. The Bucks No. [-] rushed from Reggie Miller to help defend, but they were still a step too late.

Duang, the ball hit the iron, and the big meat shield under the basket, Ervin Johnson, moved his lower body, trying to get the rebound, but at this time, an explosive head wearing the Pacers No. 3 jersey appeared on Ervin Johnson's In the sky, he stopped the ball in the air, and then threw it outside like a shot put.

The person who received the ball was still Zhang Tian. This round, the big dog clung to him. Zhang Tian did not retreat, but chose a big jump and turned around. The big dog wanted to intercept, but Zhang Tian chose again. Welcome men.

"Wow, Zhang, he chose to make a strong shot when he missed in the opening game. This guy is a bit interesting." Sidney Moncrief looked at Zhang Tian in the commentary booth, and he recognized Zhang Tian's approach in his heart. , As a generation of defensive masters, he is very clear about the nature of superstars and non-superstars. Real superstars will not avoid setbacks, but think about how to overcome them.

Swipe, the ball is scored, this is a two-pointer stepping on the line, Dominique on the bench is Wilkins smiled, Zhang Tian's goal is a bit like his own back then.

Larry Bird signaled to retreat. The Bucks attacked. The Big Dog didn't catch the ball at the first time. It was Ray Allen who caught the ball. After dribbling the ball, Ray Allen chose to turn around and break through. Reggie Miller couldn't stop him at all. Zhang Tian had no choice but to let go of the big dog to block Ray Allen. The Bucks No. 34 seemed to be waiting for this moment. Pop, a large pass to the left, the ball In the hands of the Big Dog, Reggie Miller had already switched defenses, but the Big Dog still made an understatement shot from the outside line, swiped, and the ball went hollow into the net.

Reggie Miller was very resentful, but Zhang Tian's expression remained unchanged. He knew that he had to be alone in this game, and the current Pacers really didn't have many people to count on.

Mark Jackson hit Sam Cassell in the low post, but unfortunately the ball was interfered by Scott Williams and missed. The rebound was picked up by Elvin Johnson, who passed the ball to the Big Dog. He didn't look like he couldn't run. He dribbled the ball to the Pacers and scored a small throw in the halfcourt.

Larry Bird looked very serious on the sidelines, but he did not call a timeout. The Pacers attacked. When Mark Jackson still wanted to continue playing singles, Zhang Tian asked for the ball. Passed to Zhang Tian, ​​Zhang Tian received the ball, slapped the ball hard on the floor, and then turned around with a big jump Yes, but Ray Allen has already helped defend from the second position, and the strength of the Bucks' No. 34 is not small.Zhang Tian didn't go to distribute the ball to the outside line, but chose to throw the ball against Ray Allen, swiped, and scored the ball.

Carl signaled Ray Allen to tighten up his defense. Bucks No. 34 did not speak. Glenn Robinson received the ball and hit Zhang Tian in the low post. After Zhang Tian was carried twice by him, the former chose to turn around, but Zhang Tian He didn't take off immediately, and the big dog didn't continue to dribble, because he would walk or make a mistake. Instead, he threw the ball with a difficult turn-over jumper. Duang, the Bucks almost lay down on their own at the 180rd position. It's [-] degrees, and you can't see the basket at all, so it's completely understandable not to go in.

The rebound was picked up by Da Ben, and he threw it to Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian didn't play a fast break this time, but gave the ball to Mark Jackson. The old Pacers point guard stumbled and scored.

At the end of the first quarter, Zhang Tian scored 6 points in 5 of 10, and Glenn Robinson scored 9 points in 4 of 9, so the Bucks fell behind by 7 points at home in the first quarter, 25:32. It's the best example. Carl has the heart to kill the big dog. In the second half of the first quarter, this guy shot too many basketballs that shouldn't be shot.

Ray Allen is very upset. He is the Bucks scoring leader this season, and his statistics in all aspects are at the peak of history. As a result, Milwaukee's stupid. Forced the management to still put the big dog Dang Bao, the general manager with cerebral palsy left Wenhaoer, and the newly appointed Glenn Field is not a shrewd person either.Bucks No. 34 felt like the skies were gray in Milwaukee.

The former No. [-] pick in the second quarter, Danny Manning, came up against Cato, Best and a bunch of bench gangsters. Cato performed well after returning from injury, but Big Ben and Jermaine O'Neill have secured their positions in the starting rotation. , he can only be ranked behind those two, and Battelle is worse than him, and now he is sent to the lower league by the Pacers, because there is no such thing as a developmental league in the current league.

Del Negro and Tim Thomas can only keep running back and forth in the bench lineup, especially Tim Thomas, a rookie in 97, is not generally miserable.He played well in Philadelphia in his debut season, but unfortunately after Larry Brown came in the second year, Thomas quickly became a yellow flower of yesterday, so he was sent to Milwaukee now.

There are no tactics at all in the Bucks' bench lineup. Whoever gets the ball will attack, which is much worse than the opponent.

So instead of being narrowed, the score was pulled apart.

This caused the audience at the Bradley Center's home court to leave before the halftime ended. Herb Coul's face in the home box looked like a dead mother.

The Bucks' ticket revenue so far this season is not much different from the previous seasons, but the Bucks' total salary cap ranks among the top ten in the NBA, which is a disaster for the small ball market in Milwaukee.

In the second quarter, Zhang Tian played more confidently against the big dog. He stepped back from the outside and threw his first three-pointer of the game.

Big Dog wanted to fight back in the first game. The ball was picked up by Da Ben, and he passed it to Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian continued to distribute the ball to his teammates, and the Pacers were completely excited.

In the first quarter, except for the first three-pointer missed by Zhang Tian, ​​he scored all the other five mid-range shots.This made the Bucks change his defense, so the way he scored also changed, and Carl was a headache on the sidelines.

With the help of Dominique Wilkins, Zhang Tian has gradually knocked on the door of the scoring machine. He made 20 of 9 in the game and got 23 points, 3 assists and 1 steal. The player also took away the victory from the away game and brought the record to 14-10.
