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

Chapter 90 End of Year 19-1099

The final result between the Spurs and the Lakers was that the Lakers won at home. O'Neal scored 50 points and 14 rebounds. David Robinson, who was facing him, only had 15 points. There's no hiding it at all.Just scratch hard.

O'Neal's 50 points also made it into the top five in the Christmas game, ahead of him only Wilt Chamberlain with 59 points and Bernard King with 60 points.

After the Christmas game, the Pacers have three games left in the entire 99 game, and the opponents in these three games are relatively average.But there is still a danger of overturning if you don't take it seriously.

A day later, the Pacers came to the United Center in Chicago to challenge the Bulls.At present, the Bulls are rushing forward with a record of 2-22, heading for the No. [-] pick next season, but they seem to have forgotten that the NBA has unspoken rules. The worse the team, the less likely they'll let you get the No. [-] pick.

Brand is still the most stable existence among the 99 rookies. So far, he can score 20 points and 11 rebounds, ranking first in scoring and rebounding.

But it is too difficult for the Bulls to rely on him alone, not to mention that the Bulls' head coach Tim Floyd is an out-and-out head coach with cerebral palsy.

Zhang Tian is more familiar with Tim Floyd, because he seems to be Li Lei's head coach. He won a championship with Li Lei and then went to the NCAA. Forced, and he is still obsessed with triangle offensive tactics.

But there are only one and a half players in the Bulls that fit this tactic, one is Brand, half is Artest, and the others are unqualified.

It can be seen from the Bulls' starting lineup, how shabby their lineup is. The first position is the former Bulls triple crown point guard, and in 93-94 mixed with an All-Star starting BJ Armstrong, and the second position is Kerry. Benjamin, although the opponent left after only three seasons in the NBA, he also left his own legend.

Last year, he was selected by the Bulls so arrogantly that he went directly to Jordan, who had just retired and was already fat, for a solo. The old rascal accepted the invitation, and then he was blown out in the training game.

This guy is a member of the 96 McDonald's All-Stars. He fought Kobe and Tim Thomas in the slam dunk contest. He is very passionate about basketball. Although his talent is not the strongest, it does not hinder his love for the sport. To a certain extent, he is a relatively pure basketball player.

The third position is Artest, the fourth position is Brand, and the fifth position is Will Perdo.The Pacers' starting lineup is still the same as before, and there is no change at all.

Artest's current score is not as high as Zhang Tian's, but his rebounds and steals are better than Zhang Tian's, so Tim Floyd completely uses the opponent as a blue-collar.

Artest currently averages 12 points per game. Zhang Tian's scoring has been pulled to 20 points because of several 17+ games.During the game, Mark Jackson habitually threw the ball to Zhang Tian.

The Pacers got the ball at the third position and chose a variable speed breakthrough. Artest's speed is not as fast as Zhang Tian's, but his defensive awareness is still very good. He used lateral movement in time to block Zhang Tian's breakthrough route. Zhang Tian was alone After an emergency stop, he also rushed up immediately, but facing Artest's defense, Zhang Tian still resolutely chose to shoot, swiped, and the ball flew into the net on the three-point line.

The Bulls fans at home were in a trance. Zhang Tian's scoring method looked like their team's totem.

Rick Carlisle on the sidelines looked at Zhang Tian and sighed in his heart. Zhang Tian has completely gone far on the road of ball dominance, and Larry Bird is completely letting him go.

Artest saw that Zhang Tian made a goal, and at the Pacers halfcourt, he also asked for the ball from BJ Armstrong. The latter handed the ball to Artest. Zhang Tian saw Artest receiving the ball and took the initiative to grab it. The other hand sent Zhang Tian away at the same time, but he had already missed the best opportunity to attack, but as a rookie in 99, the most important existence, the Bulls still drove Zhang Tian to the 20rd position like a small tank At the edge of the free throw line, the shot is chosen, but a guy in the Pacers' number [-] jersey jumps up like a spring man, and the ball goes out with a bang.

Ao directly blocked Artest's shot. Bulls No. 15 glanced at Ao. The former Blazers were the most easily bullied existence.

Referee No. 30 Gary Benson made a penalty in the frontcourt. Although Artest wanted to make two free throws, the referee simply ignored it.

Will Perdo throws the ball on the sideline to Kerry Benjamin, who gets the ball and drives inside, jumps near the free throw line, and thumps it straight into the hoop, Reggie Miller In this attack, he completely became the man in the background.

The core of the Pacers is angry. He will take the initiative to trouble Kerry Benjamin in his next few offenses. Although he is not as old as a hooligan in heads-up, he still can't bully the second-round pick in 98. The problem is, the old hooligan and the opponent's solo can use three-pointers to humiliate each other, let alone Reggie Miller.

Shooting guard No. 34 scored 14 points in the halftime, including 2 three-pointers, and made 5 of 2 three-pointers. Zhang Tian had 12 points in the half, and 2 of 1 three-pointers. The other scores were two points or two. Scoring at the free throw line.

Tim Floyd was like a mascot on the sidelines the entire game, and Jerry Krause didn't think about anything other than cursing.If it wasn't because Tim Floyd was cheaper, the ghost would choose him. Although this guy came out of the NCAA, he didn't have the championship blessing like Larry Brown and Pitino in the NCAA, so the salary was very little. .The whole game ended with the Bulls' victory. Reggie Miller scored 30 points and Zhang Tian scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.

After taking down the Bulls, the Pacers have achieved four consecutive victories in Zhang Tian's comeback.The next day, they went to the Phillips Center to challenge Jim Jackson and the Eagles led by Isaiah Ryder. In this game, Zhang Tian and Isaiah Ryder were facing each other. The opponent took 19 shots and hit 4. The ball scored 11 points.Zhang Tian took 17 shots and scored 19 points. His record of scoring 20 points in a row was ended.

After winning the Eagles, the Pacers returned to the home court against the Hornets. Eddie Jones was not there, and Zhang Tian had no opponent. He scored 21 of 8 in the game, scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists, allowing the Pacers to take the lead. With a record of six consecutive victories, the entire 99 regular season ended, and their overall record became 19-10.
