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

Chapter 92

The best player of the month, the rookie and so on have nothing to do with Zhang Tian, ​​O'Neil Brand and the two are all rounded up, and the best rookie in the previous life is shared by Francis and Brand, but in this life, the boss would rather die than surrender in the Hornets, although now he has realized But it was too late Brand had already consolidated his dominance on the rookie list.

Although the Bulls' record is bad, it has nothing to do with his stats. His stats are absolutely top-notch in the league, and he doesn't want to insult the No. [-] pick at all. The rising time will definitely be faster than the previous life.

On January 1th, the Pacers ushered in the challenge of the Nets at home. The Nets have played 4-12 so far, but this does not prevent their two cores from collecting data. After Marbury, Payton, the league The second player who can score more than 18 points + 20 assists, Keith Van Horn, the second pick, can also contribute 8 points + 19 data, and he has not lived up to the title of Larry Bird's successor.

But their record is still negative. Regardless of the performance of Marbury and Van Horn, it seems that it has little to do with the team's victory. That's right, let's not mention the aggrieved energy.

In this game, Zhang Tian is facing John Newman, a veteran who can't run. Scott Burrell was sent to the bench by Tang Casey. Zhang Tian will not be merciful when facing such an opponent who has no threat at all. , hit two three-pointers in the first quarter and scored 6 points, and the Pacers opened the game in the first quarter at home.

Zhang Tian was facing Marbury on the defensive end. The Lone Wolf played very badly in the first quarter, 7 of 1, and the more he shot, the more he shot, but he didn't pass the ball.Completely on the bar with Zhang Tian.

Tang Casey was still talking about tactics, but the players of the Nets were all like old monks. No one was listening carefully. Lewis Katz in the away box could see it clearly.

These damn bastards, are the Nets going to start rebuilding again? Where is the direction of rebuilding? This year is called the draft year by countless experts, because there are many historical-level rookies coming out, but the Nets boss sees When it comes to those rookies, they always feel that their bodies are okay, but their brains are not very good.

Marbury's shooting percentage in the first quarter was so low, and he didn't have any good results in the next three quarters. He made 14 of 3 in the game, scored 10 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds. One more game in the number of losses.

Zhang Tian threw 3 three-pointers in this game and contributed 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the game, and the Pacers No. 34 silently scored the Pacers' highest 28 points.In terms of the ability to develop insignificantly, Reggie Miller is really better than me. This guy will always give you a 20+ inadvertently.

After sending away the Nets at home, the Pacers raised their wins to 20 games. After a day of rest, they will start their journey to the Western Conference.

After 30 games, Zhang Tian's data has stabilized at 17.3 points, 3.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals, shooting 40.00% from the field, 30.00% from the three-point range, and 70.00% from the free throw. This data is still ranked third on the rookie list. Brand's first place is too stable, and Baron Davis and Bibby, who went to Vancouver, complement each other well. Although the Grizzlies' record is still very good. Bad, but the presence of these two guards is an existence that must not be ignored on the western guard line.

On the all-star voting side, Carter and Hill still held Zhang Tian's lead, and after Zhang Tian's piano music dissipated, his popularity began to stabilize. .This also means that unless Xiao Fan becomes the head coach of the All-Star, otherwise, it is impossible for him to be selected for the All-Star again.

On the other hand, Madman's teammate, Gorilla, has grown rapidly in the All-Star voting during this period, and has already caught up with the college junior Mourning. The two will fight to the death for an All-Star starter.

The western side is much easier. O'Neal, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, and Kidd are in the top five. There is a big gap with other All-Stars, such as Utah Shuangsha. We can see whether the Western All-Star head coach will give him a chance.

Payton is even more aggrieved. He is currently the number one point guard in the league, but he is not as popular as Kobe in Los Angeles and Kidd in Phoenix.

Because of the voting, it is very lively anyway, and you can see a lot of scolding battles every day. Of course, it is not as lively as Xiao Du and Pi Erye. The words and deeds of these black players in the Stern era still have a certain meaning. Very demanding, after all, they sacrificed their physical existence with their IQ.

On January 1, the Pacers team came to Denver, the highest city in the United States.

The Nuggets seem to be on the rise again this season. Their current record is 16-14. Although they can only rank eighth in the Wild West, they are in the top five if they are in the East.After Uncle Mu left, the Nuggets stood up again after several years of precipitation.

Their main lineup this season is Madman Fan, Ron Moser, James Posey, Antonio McDyess, and last year's No. [-] pick Riff LaFrentz.

This game is a test for Zhang Tian, ​​because it is his first time to compete at such a high altitude, and he is facing his "enemy" James Posey who used to be in the Suns training camp.

Posey's hatred for Zhang Tian was not concealed at all. Zhang Tian beat himself up in the training match and almost made him fall to the second round. Fortunately, the Suns still followed the original draft policy. He chose himself, but was soon traded to Denver by the Sun, changing from the warm Phoenix City to the icy and snowy Ligao City.If the heart is not strong enough, I will really lose myself completely in the new season.

So this game is an opportunity for James Posey to prove himself, because there is still a veteran George McLeod on the bench.

Fighting at home, and with Zhang Tian's geographical advantage of not being used to the plateau climate, there is no reason to be afraid of the opponent, because when I first came to Denver, I had been affected by the plateau for several days. The victory of this game must belong to him.

"Zhang, don't force yourself into this game. If you don't feel well, come down quickly. I don't want to lose a player for an insignificant regular season." Just after entering the Pepsi Center, Larry Bird gave orders, and now In the eyes of the king, Zhang Tian is more important than Reggie Miller, the trash talker.
