Chapter 177 Goodbye Gorilla
"Sheit, shut up. If you hit him now, you will be sent off. Do you want your whole season to be in vain? Besides provoking Reggie in the media and the Internet, do you dare to do something a man's business? We are basketball players, and everything depends on your strength and go back."
Zhang Tian did not Ramiller again because Steve Jarvey had come over. He could hear clearly what Zhang Tian said, so Jarvey gave Reggie Miller a technical foul, but Zhang Tian did not give it because the other party was going to persuade the fight. Without Zhang Tian, it would be impossible for Spike Lee, the "soul director", to fall in the audience.
Miller did not protest to Jarvi, but returned to the Knicks' half silently. Larry Bird looked at Zhang Tian, feeling very pleased, but at the same time he was helpless, because Zhang Tian's approach means that it would be difficult for him to stay with the Pacers after this season. Reggie Miller is the Pacers' flag for more than ten years, but just now he was scolded like a primary school student. It felt like Reggie Miller was a rookie and he was the boss. Although Reggie Miller verbally said before the season that he didn't care about the boss or something, Larry Bird didn't believe in a punctuation mark. He knew very well who Pacers No. 31 was.
Zhang Tian did not catch the ball on the spot, but ran to Billups to catch it. Both sides passed the ball hand in hand. The madman was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after him, but he was still one step late. The Pacers took the lead outside the three-point line and shot directly outside the three-point line. The ball was hit. There was no other expression on Zhang Tian's face.
When the Knicks attacked, Alan Houston wanted to re-use the same trick, but was entangled by Pacers No. 31, just to prevent him from running. Charlie Ward watched for a long time and could only hand the ball over to the Madman. The Madman and Zhang Tian collided. Zhang Tian left him on the left and blocked the opponent's right. The reason for this is that Zhang Tian didn't want to rely on drugs to solve the battle like in the previous few games. Although the data was good in those games, the competitive value given after the game was not much, which means that the Dogecoin system still hopes to use the method of drawing cards to cut leeks.
The madman was not picky about food and went directly to the left. Zhang Tian did not stop him. After he broke through to the inside, Zhang Tian looked at the Central Point King. As for the madman, he handed it over to other teammates. The biggest difference between Big Ben and Xiao Ao was reflected. Xiao Ao's offense is good, but the defense is not that active, while Big Ben's defense is much more active than offense.
Facing the big Ben who rushed from the penalty area, the madman stopped in the short corner area on the left and chose to shoot a mid-range shot. The ball did not make the goal, and the rebound was grabbed by the big Ben. He found Zhang Tian with a long pass, and Zhang Tian passed another to his teammate. In this game, he needed to save his energy, and the Knicks were not that easy to deal with.
"Zhang, today's style of play is different from the past. In the past, he used to play fast attacks alone, but today he chose to pass the ball. It seems that the Knicks' defense is indeed putting pressure on him."
The Knicks' offense was tested. The Gorilla, who had been in a row for two consecutive games, stepped forward and successfully scored in a row at the low post, helping the Knicks narrow the score gap. This is really commendable for Ewing, because he is not a particularly good low-level singles expert. Because of this, he and David Robinson will not be attracted by O'Neal. It is because these two are both projective, which is completely contrary to the current center play style.
Ewing's outbreak in this quarter led the rest of the Knicks to awaken. In the whole first half, the Gorilla scored 14 points in the inside. He hadn't scored such a score for a long time. Kato proved that he was only about the same to Ewing in tonnage, and there was no way to compare with the four centers in other aspects.
Rick Schmitz and a few of them didn't play much in the first half. Larry Bird really planned to use this game to teach the three of them a lesson. This is so cruel. Not only are he joking about his coaching career, but he is also joking about the players' careers.
Miller and Zhang Tian performed well on the outside in the first half, but the Knicks still couldn't find a point that could limit them. In addition, Billups' existence relieved a lot of pressure on the shooting end. Larry Bird suddenly found that his adjustment seemed to be completely ok. Billups was younger than Mark Jackson, more aggressive than him, better than him, higher than his ball quotient, and both of them were almost a bastard off the court. Billups could even take care of him, and Mark Jackson didn't wait to dump himself at all, so since that's the case, why not use this Tanhua well.
"Coach, I know I'm wrong. I will never go crazy during the game again. I want to play basketball, let me play."
Xiao O bowed to Larry Bird in the lounge, and Mark Jackson and Rick Schmitz could only sneer in the corner. Sure enough, the young man just couldn't hold back. If the gorilla continued to get angry in the second half, then Larry Bird, a guy who loves face more than everything, would definitely let him appear. Now he begs him and completely hand over the initiative to the other party.
"Well, I get it. I hope you can do what you said in the second half and don't let my expectations down."
Larry Bird did not look at the Dutchman and Mark Jackson, who were like the air in his eyes. This kind of ignorance is actually the most atrocity. Mark Jackson, who had just comforted himself, had a little mentality exploded.
In the second half, because both sides were tied, they both started the game. Xiao O went to the fourth position, Da Ben's fifth position, Kato returned to the familiar bench, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He still faced Ewing when he started. The pressure was too great. Ewing's first ball against Da Ben in the second half was a jump shot in the rabbit in the left elbow area. The ball was pushed by Da Ben while Ewing jumped up. As a result, the goal that he didn't score deviated from his previous trajectory and flew into the basket. Da Ben was very upset about this own goal. The one he disliked the defense the most was Ewing, David Robinson, who was obviously the center but was facing the frame all day.
Ewing's style of playing was unrealistic, and Ewing knew it, so later, he took the initiative to fight against Big Ben. After being defeated by Big Ben three times in a row, Ewing knew that it would be better to continue shooting, and the score was also widened by the Pacers.
Ewing was still relying on jump shots one by one to catch up with points, but Miller, Zhang Tian, Billups, and Mullin's three-pointers were colder than his mid-range shot. Moreover, the Knicks' most trusted outside scoring core, after Zhang Tian yelled over Miller in this game, his performance took a sharp turn.
In the end, relying on the Pacers' outside performance, in this shooting battle, the Pacers won, broke through from the East without losing a game, and the Pacers created their own history.
