Chapter 72: Miller, who shivered again

Wilkins's full teaching was of great help to Zhang Tian. Although Rudy Gay's card was not a high-level card, his foundation was still good.

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

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

In this game, the Pacers just arrived at the entrance of the center of the Delta, and fans of Salt Lake City rushed up with various signs.

“f.u.c.k, damn bastard, you will definitely lose tonight.”

"What else do you do except dunk?"

"You're shooting like a gorilla."

……………………

These fans are undoubtedly from Wilkins to Dominic. Although Wilkins is just a basic salary player now, no longer the essence of that human movie, the people of Salt Lake City still hate him.

Larry Bird looked at the clamoring fans and felt a little sad. Larry Bird felt that there was nothing wrong with Dominic's choice back then. If it were him, he would choose that way. After all, there was already Dantley, the singles king in the Jazz team that year, to play a substitute for the opponent. Unless he was a player without ambition, no one would be willing to agree. After all, the lifespan of professional players is limited, but the fans don't care about these, they only saw the "betrayal" of the Jazz by the essence of human movies.

The lineups of Sloan in this game are no different from those in the past. John Starkston, Jeff Hornersek, Brian Russell, Karl Malone, and Greg Osttarger. At this year's draft, Sloan chose four people in one go, Quincy Lewis, Andrei Kirirenko, Scott Padgett, and Eddie Lucas.

These four people, Andrei Kirilianko's contract in Russia, did not end, and there was no report from the Jazz, and Eddie Lucas was abandoned by the Jazz. The guy did not fight at all. Sloan did not want a waste to occupy the quota. The other two rookies performed completely lower than Sloan's expectations.

Although Zhang Tian cannot play, it does not hinder Sloan's love for Zhang Tian at all. This guy is a rough jade, an existence with a maximum limit far exceeding Kirilenko. Unfortunately, he discovered it too late, so he picked up the cornfield.

The Pacers' starting lineup, Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Dominic are Wilkins, O'Neal Jr., and Rick Schmitz. In this game, the Pacers are under a lot of pressure from the inside.

As expected, Karl Malone, who played at home, was very brave and gave Xiao Ao an elbow at the beginning. Fortunately, the latter did not do anything fast, otherwise he would have become Nash's second.

The Essence of Human Movie followed Zhang Tian’s advice and did not shoot the two-pointer, but instead shot a three-pointer at the beginning, which caught Brian Russell off guard.

Dominic Wilkins' three-point shooting percentage is low because he practices less and shoots less. Before this game, he made a special attack. Sloan did not expect that the Jazz "Traitor" would surprise him like this.

As a background man in the old rogue finals, Brian Russell has a good personal defensive awareness. After seeing Dominic as Wilkins' first three-pointer, he will not give the opponent any shots.

He focused all his attention on Wilkins, but Reggie Miller drove against Hornersek. Both of them were shooting players. In terms of shooting level, the Death Gun was still a little worse than the Trash Talk King.

Although O's strength could not play Malone alone, he still scored points by shooting. Rick Schmitz also played hide-and-seek with Greg Ostertag as much as possible. As for the Jazz players, the Pacers' God of War is on the sidelines. As long as they dare, Zhang Tian will definitely regret it.

The score of both sides in the first half was 55:40. Dominic Wilkins made 4 of 5 shots in the half, scoring 10 points and 3 rebounds very efficiently. He was not the Pacers' highest score, and the highest score was Reggie Miller. Someone attracted him firepower, and this guy got a step back again, 7 of 13 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 19 points and 2 assists. Malone scored in double points, but when the Pacers exploded, the postman began to feel uncomfortable because he found that his unfavorable force crushing was not good.

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

Larry Miller sat in the box and watched the fans vent their emotions. The Jazz boss's face was very calm. It has been 14 years since he bought the Jazz from Sam Batistone in 1985. The Jazz has reached two finals in 14 years, but unfortunately they both failed. Now the Utah double evil spirits are old, and the championship seems to be getting further away from the Jazz.

"If we still can't make it 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 I leave, I will bless them. Now it is time for Salt Lake City to be destroyed or established."

General Manager Kevin O'Connor stood aside. He was the Jazz's general manager, but his status was similar to Donny Walsh's Pacers. It was just a decoration. The head coach had the final say on who to trade, who to buy, and who to choose the rookie. They were just tool people.

Larry Miller had an idea that he wanted to rebuild the Jazz. It was born last season. It was originally the best opportunity, but they were solved by the Trail Blazers in the semi-finals. Although it seems that it is not difficult for the Jazz to win 50 wins this season, you will win 50 wins, 60 wins, 70 wins, and 80 wins in the regular season. It is meaningless to get out early in the playoffs. The basketball game is still the game of playoffs. You can't just lead the standings and laugh to the end.

Of course, there are teams that will eventually win the championship in this kind of regular season championship, but Kevin O'Connor does not think the Jazz have the capital.

In the second half, Malone played very hard. The Pacers had no choice but to pick and roll with Stockton, but the Pacers were also in a situation where many people were blooming. Mark Jackson and Stockton exploded in this game, and in the end the Pacers won the away game and ended their losing streak, and at the same time, the record was also raised to 10-7.

The best player in the game was awarded to Reggie Miller. This guy made 10 of 19 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. In the post-match interview, he began to clamor for Spike Lee from the air.
