¡¶What should I do if I play basketball too well?¡·

    "Remaining life: 366 days, available life: 365 days."

    He looked at the screen in front of him that others could not see. It was almost transparent but he could see the content clearly. When he thought about closing it, the screen disappeared. He began to think about it carefully, and it immediately appeared again.

    After repeated tests several times, I twisted myself several times. Because I couldn't believe it all, I was harder, and they pumped their pain each time. Finally, after the thighs were estimated to be green, he determined that this should represent what.

    Can you live for 366 days?

    But what does usable life mean?  Lifespan can also be used for "use"?

    But on the 366th day, he felt the pain in his thigh. Instead of being annoyed, he was extremely excited. When he pinched himself for the first time and throbbed with pain, he knew that something must have changed that he could not imagine.

    It was only "two years ago" that my hands could move so freely. At that time, while I could still move freely, I donated my body. After my death, I could make some contribution to society and use it to study this unsolvable problem.  terminal illness; it was "more than half a year ago" that I could feel pain!

    Although he was excited, he decided to put this aside for the time being and study it in depth later. Now he had to figure out where he was.

    It¡¯s definitely not in the hospital, it¡¯s on the road now.

    But this is definitely not the city where he has worked for several years, nor his hometown, nor even in the country. Let's analyze it, whether it is abroad or in a different world As soon as he opened his eyes a few minutes ago, he was no longer in the hospital bed.  After getting on, I leaned directly on the seat of a bus stop on the side of the road. I stood up and looked to the right, which was the entrance of an apartment.

    Looking at this old apartment, the memory of this building suddenly appeared in his mind.

    "This is an old apartment that is more than 20 years old. The proprietress of the apartment is a black aunt with a tough personality. If drug dealers or gangsters dare to enter this apartment to bully students, she will kill them with a gun.

    Such a living environment is already extremely good for international students International students?  "

    He just had this question when a brown-skinned girl passing by greeted him: "Akers, what are you doing standing here stupidly? Don't your men's basketball teams still have training in the afternoon?"

    The other person spoke English, but he actually understood it, and images of the person he still remembered coming into contact with him quickly popped up in his mind.

    This is April Clark from the school's women's tennis team. She is a very enthusiastic Hispanic girl. She is the first girl I met in the United States. She is relatively familiar with her - "We have known each other for three years and we are a little familiar? What have I done?"  What? Aix, are you calling me? It should bemy English name seems to be Aix"

    ?The memory flashed through his mind, and it was an acquaintance who responded: "I'm feeling a little unwell, I'll take a day off"

    When April Clark heard this, she had no doubt about it and responded: "You should take more rest. You have been training too hard recently. Paul has already told me about you. You don't have to worry. You should practice like this every day."  Your body won¡¯t be able to bear it, and if you have such good grades, you can go to a very good university even if you don¡¯t get a basketball scholarship.¡±

    When he said this, more memories flashed through his mind, which were recent things, but what he focused on was the most recent things about the other party in his memory. From his work experience, when chatting, he used the other person¡¯s name.  The center is correct.

    It was written in the school newspaper that this female amateur tennis player, one of the best in the school, was about to participate in a city competition. He paused and then said: "Hey, that's all my business, how about you, April?"  Can Los Angeles win first place?¡±

    This lonely guy actually took the initiative to say one more word!  April Clark was so surprised. When she looked closely, she saw that this guy no longer had his usual shy and timid expression, and looked extraordinarily cheerful. He was already tall and handsome, and his masculinity was immediately revealed.

    "City competition? I hope to win the Los Angeles championship before graduating from high school. This is my last time participating in a major competition. I am not as talented as you and Paul. I have never thought about becoming a professional athlete. If I can't get into college, I will go  Learn to repair cars!" When she said this, April Clark was still a little excited. High school is finally coming to an end!

    She is telling the truth. Although she is one of the top tennis players in school, she is not the strongest among high school students in Los Angeles alone, let alone the world. She can only be said to be one of the best.  Tennis players are usually already playing professionally at her age, perhaps for several years.

    Of course, this does not prevent her from pursuing tennis.They overlapped together. I can't tell the priority, but I can clearly distinguish the difference between the two memories. The memories merged until the end - now I should be traveling to Inglewood, a small town in Los Angeles, USA in the 1990s.  His name is Zhang Hao. As for who he was originally, it no longer matters, because he has already come to this world and this era.

    Gradually, the tearing feeling disappeared, and Zhang Hao already understood the current situation.

    When the memories were fused, he woke up quickly. Sure enough, it was not a hospital, it seemed to be his bedroom No!  Why not in the hospital?  Did he remember that he was not Hun Gu Qi?

    "Didn't I faint? Why aren't I in the hospital? Paul is unreliable Wait, no It's great that I didn't go to the hospital!"

    Judging from the current situation, he hired a family doctor. Although the price is not cheap, hiring a doctor can cost him a week's living expenses for a minor cold. Generally speaking, he goes to the pharmacy to buy medicine for colds and fevers.

    But no matter what, the diagnosis fee is cheaper than going to the hospital, and there is no need to pay thousands of dollars for ambulance fees, thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars for various testing drugs.

    As for public hospitals, don¡¯t think about it. If you wait in line, you won¡¯t need to be treated, or you won¡¯t need to be treated.

    Family doctors are very common in the United States. Most of them are part-time jobs for doctors in public hospitals. They are said to be part-time doctors. In fact, family doctors are more attentive and patient than when they are in the hospital.

    Zhang Hao thinks this is actually normal. In a hospital, you have to treat a fixed number of patients a day, and the money you get is always the same. A patient is diagnosed every 10 to 15 minutes. There is really no way to be patient. According to various medical equipment  After the test results came out, I just prescribed medicine and that was all. I was numb.

    Although the salary of a family doctor is not as high as that of a private hospital, it is much higher than that of a public hospital. As a doctor, you can definitely make a preliminary judgment on the condition and then conduct targeted testing. It is not like entering the hospital and doing all kinds of things afterwards.  It seems that the examination is useless at all, but the key is to have enough time for one-on-one diagnosis. This is the most important.

    Zhang Hao was extremely glad that he didn't go to the hospital. He suddenly sat up with a start. The fat black man who was reading comics on the chair next to the bed leaned back and almost overturned the chair.

    "Aix, you finally woke up. It scared me to death. I saw you collapsed as soon as I came out. The doctor said that you were fine, but you were under too much pressure. I said, why do you want so much? UCLa doesn't want you, so why don't you find another one?  Why don't you just try school again? Oh my gosh, I don't want to go to UCL either Ahem, Aix, don't be too anxious. If your body can't stand training like this every day, there will always be a chance, even if your body is very weak.  You are strong, but you can't bear the pressure. Fortunately, you are fine this time. The doctor said that you were too nervous and caused a coma, and asked you to pay attention"

    Looking at the fat man in front of him, Zhang Hao felt a little uncomfortable in his eardrums. He could vaguely see that he was Paul Pierce, the soul of the Celtics in his future memory, but why was he so fat?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Pi team is actually a talker?  What about the phoenix who promised to survive even though he was stabbed 11 times because of his arrogance and coldness?  This guy is too talkative and makes others angry By the way, this guy has always been a talker!

    The difference in the impression of Pierce from the two memories was immediately apparent, but it soon became clear. This situation will definitely happen at the beginning, but over time, you will become very skilled in distinguishing "now" from "future".  Zhang Hao knows that people and things in this world should be judged by the memories of international students, and the memories of the future are something he can rely on!  It's a pity that many of the things he remembers require capital, and he doesn't remember things like buying lottery tickets that make millions of dollars.

    Who is the serious person to remember those things?

    But if you have some capital, many things can be done.

    Pierce doesn¡¯t know what Zhang Hao is slandering, otherwise he will definitely challenge this guy to a duel!  He hates people calling him fat!

    What¡¯s wrong with being fat?  He is also the number one basketball player among high school students in California!

    Pierce was still talkative. Zhang Hao knew the landlady's son very well. After he moved into this apartment, within two months, he was obsessed with Pierce, who was of the same age. It was the landlady who first met this big ocean.  Children in the backward countries on the other side are too withdrawn and are afraid that Zhang Hao will be bullied. His own son usually bullies others, so he asked Pierce to take care of Zhang Hao.

    However, the two of them have complementary personalities. Pierce is talkative, enthusiastic and affectionate, while Zhang Hao is withdrawn but longs for friendship in his heart. One likes to talk, the other is willing to listen, and they naturally become good friends.

    Ignoring Pierce, who couldn't stop talking once he started talking, Zhang Hao thought, and a subtitle popped up in front of his eyes He looked at Pierce next to him, but he didn't see it at all. Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

    When encountering this kind of thing, he would never think of telling others to share it. The secret must be revealed to others. It is agreed that it is a secret. This is called a secret. Once the secret appears, it will eventually be known.

    You can¡¯t tell anyone this kind of thing!

    Zhang Hao was a little moved when he thought that Pierce had stayed away all night last night However, Zhang Hao's heart sank when he saw the changes in the subtitles.

    "Remaining life: 365 days, available life 364 days."

    After dealing with Pierce for a while, Zhang Hao excused himself to take a break and sent Pierce away, then began to sort out the current situation.

 Chapter 2 2. I sign myself!

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    The time is April 10, 1995.

    The location is an international student apartment in Inglewood, Los Angeles. The school he attended is Inglewood High School, one of the top private high schools in California.

    More than a month ago, he and Pierce led the team to win the California High School League championship. Pierce was elected California Mr. Basketball, and he was selected to the California High School All-American First Team.

    Currently, just a few days after the end of NCAA March Madness, Eddie O'Bannon led UCLa to win the NCAA Basketball Championship after a lapse of 19 years.

    Just two days ago, UCLa, which won the NCAA championship, rejected Zhang Hao's basketball scholarship application and suggested that he enroll based on test scores.

    But Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t want to worry about this for the time being.

    "You have one more year to live?"

    Zhang Hao was lying on the bed, looking at the "countdown" written on the subtitles, with complicated emotions.

    "The memory of the "future" can be alive and kicking for a year, which is a blessing from heaven for him.

    But the memory of this current body has a great impact on him. Another thought in his mind is - it is so tragic. A young high school student only has one year to live!

    Two complex emotions are entangled together, and the final thought is - I really want to live!

    Zhang Hao recalled every detail of when he came to the United States to study, and couldn't help but smile bitterly In these days, when color discrimination is the most severe in the United States, he actually came to study in the United States, and he also thought about bypassing the domestic system and entering the American sports industry. This is not a joke.  Play?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out of the blue, I think my father is a sensible person when it comes to business, but when it comes to reflecting his youthful dreams on his own son, he is still a little too naive.

    This is Zhang Hao looking at the current situation from the perspective of "future" memory, because the him in the future memory is better than the him in the current memory, whether it is knowledge, vision, personality, or social skills  The memory of him is stronger, so he naturally dominates. Since both memories have become part of his memory, the one who knows "more" naturally dominates.

    It is now 1995. In the second semester of his senior year, the state high school league has long ended, and even the NCAA competition has ended. Basketball teams from major colleges and universities are chasing the talents of high school students. He is already applying to major colleges and universities for admission.

    He has passed various exams in high school last year and has achieved excellent results in cultural courses. There is no shortage of college studies, but the problem in front of him is not this.

    Basketball Scholarship!  This is what he wants.

    Many years ago, before he entered elementary school, his father, who had returned from the army, saw his "potential" and wanted to train him to play basketball. His father was also a good basketball player in the army and even participated in the Eighth Eighth National Basketball Association.  Tried out for the first team and the second team, but lost.

    As for his "potential" he is to grow taller, run fast, and jump high.

    But the current situation at home is not very good. If you want to study in a prestigious private school in the United States, the cost of studying abroad is too high for Chinese people in the 1990s.

    So we need a scholarship!

    The full scholarship for the first-level NCAA League in the just-concluded 94-95 season is 13,772 U.S. dollars. With this year¡¯s exchange rate of about 8.4 U.S. dollars to U.S. dollars, you can save your family a lot of money.

    However, it is difficult to get a full basketball scholarship from the first-level league!

    There are only a limited number of universities in the NCAA Division IAlthough there are many, compared to so many college students in the United States, the proportion is extremely small.

    Although the NCAA Division I basketball team has 15 full basketball scholarships, a college team is not a professional league team. A team cannot have only 15 people, first-line players and alternate players from freshman to senior years, plus  Let¡¯s say at least 30 to 50 people, and maybe hundreds in a big school. Not all first-line players will play in every game. If there are injuries or temporary leaves, substitute players will naturally be needed to cover them, so scholarships cannot only be played by first-line players.  For those dozen players, there may be several or even a dozen full scholarship spots that are allocated to everyone on the list designated by the college coach. Players who can get a full scholarship alone are not to say rare, but every university  Probably just two or three people.

    These people are all the brightest stars in high school.

    ¡°For example, Pierce, who was chatty just now, may not look like a chubby kid, but he is so talented and has extremely comprehensive skills. Even before he went to college, he felt like he knew everything.

    But the biggest headache here for Zhang Hao is not whether he played well in high school. He is somewhat famous, ranking among the top 30 high school students in the United States but the key is that he is Chinese!

    Zhang Hao stood up and went to the bathroom to cool downNot knowing how to communicate, Zhang Hao tentatively asked in his mind: "I want to sign me, is it okay? I will build my own team, let's call it well, let's call it Ritian Gang! Sign me  Own!"

    After this question was asked, the subtitles, which were originally just plain, suddenly began to distort, then continued to tremble, and finally the screen was blurry!  Zhang Hao was shocked!

    Could it be that you broke this golden finger?

    Wait, does that mean you only have one year to live?

    As soon as he had this idea, Zhang Hao saw the "remaining life" in the upper right corner of the subtitles that remained unchanged even if the screen was blurred. This was a rhythm that would drag him to hell together if he crashed!

    After a while, the subtitles finally returned to normal and new words appeared.

    "The host has established a team: Ritian Gang, and is about to sign Zhang Hao as the first player and become his personal coach. Are you sure?"

    It¡¯s really ok!

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know what the purpose of signing the contract was, but he signed it first and said immediately: ¡°OK.¡±

    "Ding the host has successfully signed a player: Zhang Hao. Because the host helped the system find a loophole, he received a special reward: Growth Card: Mid-range Jumper Training Improvement Card (Top)." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 3 3. What is the future?  (Please bookmark and vote for recommendations!)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    What the hell!

    Zhang Hao kept blinking his eyes, it really worked!

    Just when Zhang Hao¡¯s head was shutting down, the subtitles changed again, and it was a new prompt.

    At this time, Zhang Hao¡¯s idea was to look at the prompt again, but he didn¡¯t expect that the subtitles would automatically change back to the prompt.

    Looking at the prompt of "System vulnerability reward found", Zhang Hao finally realized that he had found the bug of this golden finger, and found a completion method that was not included in the completion conditions in the golden finger but could theoretically be completed.

    ? Then please pay more attention in the future, maybe there are bugs that can be exploited!

    correct!  New tips!

    Zhang Hao thought of this, and the subtitles switched to the latest prompt that he didn't read just now.

    ¡°Mission 1 has been successfully completed. Congratulations to the host for adding 15 days to its lifespan.

    The player detection function has been turned on.

    The remaining life span is 380 days, and the available life span is 379 days.  "

    Indeed!  Complete the task and the remaining life span increases!

    "Player detection function? Wait, there seems to be a growth card with special rewards for finding bugs - a top mid-range jumper training card?"

    When Zhang Hao thought of this, the subtitles immediately changed.

    "Player detection function: During the game, you can observe the comprehensive abilities of the players on the field from three aspects: physical fitness, shooting level, and technical level, infer the characteristics of the opponent's play style through the opponent's technical characteristics, and make targeted tactical arrangements.

    The system determines the technical ability of players as: ordinary, good, first-class, near-top, and top.

    In FIBA ??and NBA professional basketball, there are different judgment methods based on rules, play characteristics, etc.

    The system divides the grades on a 100-point scale:

    60-69 is the average level.

    70-79 is a good level.

    80-84, which is the first-class level.

    85-89, which is the top level.

    90-94 is the top level.

    (Note: This is only a player strength rating and does not serve as an evaluation of a player's status in the team. The evaluation of a player's status in the team is affected by comprehensive factors such as playing age, contribution to the team, leadership ability, ability focus, etc.  )"

    ¡°Growth card: mid-range jump shot expert:

    The host uses the mid-range jumper training card (top) for contracted players. The player's muscle memory will be greatly increased when training for mid-range jumpers, and his training comprehension will be greatly increased. He will have the best mid-range jumper talent training effect.  Rapidly improve your mid-range shooting level until it reaches the top level (90) and stop training bonuses.  "

    Growth card!  This is a good baby!

    But this is a special reward and may not be easy to get.

    As for the player detection function, he is also a loyal basketball fan in the future. He is still very familiar with the NBA in the post era from the 1990s to 2015. Later, the NBA was ruined by a guy who looked like a hermaphrodite.  He doesn't pay much attention to the NBA anymore.

    However, there are definitely many talents that have been buried, such as the future Van Jordan and Brogdon. One was undrafted and the other was a second-round pick. If the former was not lucky, the Raptors lacked a backup point guard and recalled him from the Development League.  If the Bucks point guard Jennings hadn't been disabled, he wouldn't have had a chance to play.

    So as a coach, this function is very good.

    ??Moreover, it can detect a player's physical fitness, shooting level, and technical level. If he is a player, it can also play a huge role!

    Zhang Hao has not given up on the possibility of being a player, because he is really not bad at playing and is considered very good among high school students in California.

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao realized something was wrong and looked at the content in the subtitles again.

    "FIBA? NBA professional basketball? Wait, don't I want to go to college? Why is it directly the NBA and FIBA?"

    At this time, the content of the subtitles has been switched, and signed players, tasks, rewards and a special signed player appear.

    The tasks are marked with (1), and the rewards are the same, but the signed players are marked with (0), while the special signed players are marked with (1).

    Thinking about the special signing players, the subtitles changed again.

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age: 18 years old (January 7, 1977).

    Height 199 cm.

    Weight: 89 kg.

    Position: Forward.

    Team: Former Inglewood High School Boys Basketball Team, Current Team: Wildball Team: ?things.

    But since he has future memories, he knows that leaving school and being popular in school are nothing, so he seems very calm.

    This is in line with his past, he has always been cold and withdrawn.

    The more Zhang Hao behaves like this, the more female classmates want to get him into bed to prove their "charm".

    Of course he accepted the things, and the first and second-year students in the team were all rushing to get them. It was important to have a good relationship with his teammates. This was what his father taught him, so although he was lonely, he was quite popular in the team.

    There are more advantages to having a good dad than you can imagine!  Many habits and consciousness are developed under the subtle influence of parents.

    Carrying a bunch of small packages, Zhang Hao came to the indoor basketball hall on campus.

    Although his senior season is over, Zhang Hao still needs to build a good relationship with the boys on the team. God knows if these juniors have the talent to become NBA players.

    Zhang Hao knew that in his freshman year of high school, Pierce couldn't even make the substitute list because he was too fat. As a result, he became the second best high school student in California in his sophomore year, second only to Keith Van Horn.

    He definitely remembers the famous players of this period, but there are more than 50 rookies in the draft in one year. He has no impression of most of the marginal players. Even if they are bench players in the NBA, they are high-income groups and among the best hundreds in the world.  One of the famous basketball players, if he wants to be a coach in the future, it is not a bad thing to have a past friendship with an NBA player.

    Zhang Hao is not sure about his future yet. He loves basketball very much. If he can become a coach, it would be a good choice

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    ps: The signing has not been completed yet, so no rewards can be given.

    Then we will add more updates based on the recommendation votes. For every 10,000 recommendation votes, we will add an additional chapter. Please vote for recommendations!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 4 4. Growth Card: Mid-range Jump Shot Expert (Please collect)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    Of course you have to participate!  If you participate, you will live 15 days longer, and if you deduct one full point, you will live an extra month!  It doesn't matter if you get a perfect score or not, but extending your life for half a month is very important.

    For this golden finger, Zhang Hao's initial idea was that since he could build his own team, he would save some money, find a group of people, and participate in various street events together, such as going to Pierce and looking for a junior to become this small team.  As a "coach", that's it. These two people will definitely not ask him to pay wages. At most, everyone will share the bonus. It won't be too high anyway. The main thing is that it can still practice football.

    Theoretically speaking, Zhang Hao thinks it is feasible, and he believes that this may be one of the best ways for him to survive under normal circumstances.

    However, for this sudden mission, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know if it was because of his own bug that made him, a ¡°special contract player¡± different from ordinary contract players¡­ Since it was a special contract, it would definitely be different.

    "Special contract player: Zhang Hao" Looking at this line listed separately in the subtitles, it is indeed different.

    He is his own contracted player. When he encounters something related to his basketball career, he will trigger the golden finger task. As a "coach", he needs to help him complete the task, and then he will be rewarded Zhang Hao felt that his head was a little fried.  But that's a good thing!  So he decisively chose to carry out this task!

    There are two choices. One is to take the street ball route. If you really can't make it to the college basketball team, you can just find a college with reasonable tuition and play in low-level leagues in your spare time If you really get the chance through the slam dunk contest,  Although the probability of being recognized by a certain team is low, you can still look forward to it. At least he has to dunk well and become famous. Even if he doesn't go to college and plays street ball, more people will know him.

    Thinking about it this way, Zhang Hao felt that it was not that difficult to survive.

    Perhaps, the survival he pursues has been achieved in terms of future memories. He can live for at least one year, and he can live for one year. For him in the future, it is already a dream come true. At that time  Lying in the hospital bed, he just wanted to stand up and live like a normal person for one day. Even if it was just one day, he could die willingly. The feeling of lying on the hospital bed and losing all pain, thinking back to it, he felt like  It was an extremely long nightmare.

    But in this era, Zhang Hao¡¯s dream has not even had time to set sail. He wants to realize his dream, become a world-class basketball player, and lead the national team to glory This is a huge difficulty!

    But, Zhang Hao really wants to try it!  He didn't have a chance before, but now he wants to be a good person No, he wants to continue his previous efforts, and even work harder to become an excellent basketball player!

    ¡° If it doesn¡¯t work out, just play street ball or low-level leagues until you are old enough to be a coach and continue to live. It is said that even one day of normal life will be enough, but if you can live longer, why not work hard?

    What¡¯s more, it¡¯s not a shame to play in a low-level league. It all relies on ability and hard work to make money.

    With the memory of the future, Zhang Hao's perspective and perspective on things have changed drastically from before, but he is still an 18-year-old boy after all.

    The nature of a young man is to do things without hesitation, so the past three years in the United States have obviously been difficult, at least the living environment is extremely unsuitable, and it is difficult to communicate with others, but Zhang Hao has been working hard.

    And the memory of the future brings more daring to think and do!

    After finally getting a chance to survive again, I finally came back for a lifetime, afraid of an egg!  Of course, I have to live my life happily!

    join!  Will definitely participate.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­ After Pierce went to instruct the juniors, Zhang Hao found an empty half court and prepared to practice mid-range shooting. He wanted to try the role of the "growth card".

    Zhang Hao has always felt that his mid-range shooting is excellent, but when converted to the NBA arena, it is only a good level of 75!  And it's only a good mid-range level. You know, when he was a senior in high school, he didn't rely more on cutting in to score, but on mid-range shots. Because Pierce often faced the frame in singles at close range, his ability to open up space was very good.  Importantly, mid-range shooting is his strongest offensive weapon.

    "This is the qualitative gap between high school games and the NBA! I really don't know how good Garnett, James and Howard were in high school. Geniuses like Kobe Bryant and O'Neal were useless when they first entered the NBA for at least a year  "

    Although he has an evaluation of the ability of NBA bench players of 60%, Zhang Hao has no idea of ??being complacent at all. According to his judgment, even if he really has a chance to enter the NBA, it is unlikely that he will make it. Compared with other playerssp; Lying in bed, Zhang Hao didn't want it to be a dream when he woke up. Although the current situation is relatively difficult, he might die in a year after returning to China, and staying in the United States might increase the burden on his family, but it is not a dead end. There is a chance.  It was enough to survive smoothly. He would rather regard future memories as a dream.

    "I am who I am, I am Zhang HaoI am Zhang Hao."

    Zhang Hao's belief was firmed up, and he was a little excited when he thought about the afternoon training.

    Knowing how to become stronger, and knowing clearly the bonus to enhance the training effect, Zhang Hao has a certain degree of confidence in himself to solve the current bad situation. He thinks that he will participate in the Adidas training camp next, and if he can practice his mid-range shooting to a certain level before then,  The top level of the NBA a training camp like that will definitely attract a lot of attention from universities.

    Seeing the memory of this era with the perspective of future memory, Zhang Hao felt regretful when he thought about himself before. He felt that he had missed a lot of things. Fortunately, he was different now, and there was no point in regretting. He tried his best to grasp it.  Opportunities that arise after you live are more important!

    McDonald's Pacific Region Los Angeles Headquarters, they are currently inviting top high school students to participate in the High School All-Star Game at the end of the month. In fact, there is only one event that is the most important, and that is the Dunk Contest. The other games do not attract much attention, and there is no Adidas training camp.  The game attracts a lot of attention. The selling point of the McDonald's High School All-Star Weekend is the slam dunk contest, which is the only game that is broadcast live across the United States.

    Some of the invited players responded, and some refused, but it didn¡¯t matter. The legendary ¡°high school student¡¯s strongest dunk king¡± Vince Carter, whom they valued most, agreed to participate in the dunk contest. That¡¯s enough!

    This slam dunk contest does not require any cost. In addition to food and accommodation, there are also some basic venue fees, staff fees, and bonuses for players who enter the finals. Compared with other commercial activities, the expenses are much smaller.

    It has been several months since the invitations were sent out. Anyone who wants to agree to participate should have responded via phone calls, emails, letters, etc. McDonald's feels that the work on player invitations is almost done, and preparations for the game can start next.  .

    There are still 10 days left. The McDonald's High School All-Star Weekend is about to begin. Today is the deadline for submission of entry materials. It has been two days since I received a new letter. The staff who are preparing to submit the list of participating players are here for the last time.  I went to the mailbox and saw that there were two emails today.

    ???????????????????????????????Zhang Hao and Paul Pierce from Inglewood High School in southwest Los Angeles, who have performed very well in California in the past two years, are the only Chinese high school students they invited. Pierce is the best high school player in California this season.

    The purpose of inviting Pierce is to sell tickets locally. Live TV broadcasts sell advertisements to make money. It is of course better to be able to sell tickets. Information and communication technology is still very backward these days. Outside of Florida, not many people know Carter, who is still a high school student.

    Zhang Hao can also play such a role, but McDonald's originally did not plan to invite a Chinese high school student to participate. This is related to business matters. Their Asia-Pacific Market Development Department learned that the Pacific headquarters will hold a high school dunk contest this year.  It is strongly recommended to invite Zhang Hao.

    Although the Pacific Region Headquarters agreed, the invitation was not as positive as the Asia-Pacific Market Development Department expected, and it was far worse than running to communicate with the Carter family.

    However, Zhang Hao responded, and the staff also added him to the list and submitted it to the person in charge of the preparations for this event.

    If Zhang Hao wants to participate in the slam dunk contest, McDonald's is naturally happy. Even if they are not so active, if Zhang Hao agrees to participate, then they can take advantage of Zhang Hao's Chinese identity.

    They don't need to sign Zhang Hao as a spokesperson, but using the gimmick that Zhang Hao is now among the top 30 high school students in the United States, McDonald's still wants to do it. It doesn't cost anything and provides a little bonus. If Zhang Hao can get it, take it.  Without being pulled down, Zhang Hao's identity as a Chinese can be used to spread propaganda in China.

    The competitive pressure with KFC is too great. China, a country with a population of more than 1 billion, has a huge catering market. McDonald's does not want to miss the opportunity to expand the market.

    ¡­¡­

    Time, April 16th, another five days have passed. Zhang Hao has only 374 days left to live. After tonight, there are only 373 days left.

    The pressure of seeing his lifespan shrinking day by day really made him a little crazy. Fortunately, the memory of the future was still there, and the feeling of "I'm so happy to be alive" allowed him to face it calmly.  All this, try hard to find a way to survive.

    What is the method of hard work?

    It¡¯s just training!

    If you can personally feel that your CIC is becoming more and more stable, and if you can clearly feel the progress of CIC, you will be able to better carry out your "survival plan."

    After sending the letter, Zhang Hao has been training for the past few days. Compared with before, it took a long time to feel the improvement. The progress in these days makes Zhang Hao excited every day.

    In just 5 days, the CIC ability value has increased from 75 to 79!  Zhang Hao regards 70 to 79 as good. If 90-94 is top, then 85-89 should be first-rate, and 80-84 is excellent!  An NBA-level mid-range shot is just around the corner!

    Not only is the evaluation improving, but he himself can also feel the improvement in his shooting accuracy. Compared with the previous rate of improvement, it can now be described as changing with each passing day.

    Zhang Hao got up and went to the small living room outside the bedroom. The apartment was a bit old, but the area was quite large, more than 40 square meters. There was a small living room and a bathroom. Zhang Hao, who had just woken up, saw a fat man playing on the computer in his living room.  .

    This broken computer, not to mention the big head computer, the Internet speed is shocking, and the configuration is also poor This is why Zhang Hao will notSi participated in it last year. This was a similar promotional event for Adidas to compete with Nike in the basketball shoe market, but the level of competition was the highest among training camps of major sports brands.

    Generally speaking, no senior players will participate in this game. Most of the talented senior players have been divided up by major colleges and universities at this time. Therefore, players who can be shortlisted for the top 100 high school students in the United States usually participate in the second and third years of high school. The final high school all-star lineup  Players will basically be able to join NCAA Division I teams in the future.

    Zhang Hao is obviously an exception. He received the invitation this year largely because there are so many Chinese in the venue.

    Zhang Hao felt that he had to work hard and try to see if he could be recognized by any college coach. Just like Coach Scott Collins of Inglewood High School, he took a fancy to his ability and talent and selected him.

    College coaches have very great power. In terms of scholarship arrangements and player selection, the head coach has a high say.

    But thinking about college Zhang Hao still has a headache. He sent his game videos and resume to 22 first-level universities, but so far only 9 universities have responded.

    Most of the universities that responded were interested in his SAT scores. Zhang Hao estimated that if he did not apply for a basketball scholarship, but purely based on his grades, those schools would be much more enthusiastic.

    Returning to the bedroom with the three letters, Zhang Hao gave Pierce's letter and opened his own reply letter from the McDonald's High School All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

    The Adidas Training Camp was held in San Francisco this year, and the McDonald¡¯s High School All-Star Weekend was held in Los Angeles.

    As for McDonald's All-Star Weekend, we will report to the designated hotel on the 24th. The 25th and 26th will be the trial competitions, including the preliminaries of the slam dunk contest. The McDonald's High School All-Stars are held according to the rules of the NBA All-Star, but there are trials.  , the first two days of selection, the high school all-star game on the 27th, and the three-point contest and dunk contest on the 28th.

    The most important thing and the only one that is broadcast nationwide is the dunk contest. The previous three-point contest also had the opportunity to be broadcast nationwide because of the dunk contest, but I guess not many people paid attention to it.

    Regarding the All-Star Game, Zhang Hao did not receive an invitation, but in the past few days, Zhang Hao learned about this All-Star and found that this high school student All-Star selection was very strange. Among all the state league championship teams in the East and West, experts were divided  Select a player from each of the state championship high schools in the East or West. Sometimes the best players don't get the chance to participate.

    Pierce also received the invitation, but declined it because it was not necessary.

    The Adidas training camp is different. Zhang Hao is a special case. Most of the other participating players are high school sophomores and seniors. First, a one-week training camp begins. During this period, some competitions and selections are held in various ways, and finally the all-star lineup is determined.  At the node between the NBA regular season playoffs, seize the time and conduct a game that imitates the NBA All-Stars. The two teams are composed of high school students from the East and West.

    After Zhang Hao paid attention to this event, he saw a promotional poster for the Adidas high school basketball training camp. The cover player used to promote it was Kevin Garnett, the best high school student in the United States from Farragut High School Zhang Hao deliberately paid attention to the current situation.  After Garnett, I learned why this guy didn't go to college and went directly to the NBA. His grades were so bad. What kind of study enthusiasm can make a senior high school student only get more than 300 points in the SAT test?

    When there was an ACT exam at the end of April and an SAT exam at the beginning of May, Garnett, who had difficulty in taking the exams, didn't study hard to get into college, but came to participate in this competition. Maybe he never thought about going to college.  and no chance to enter.

    There is no live broadcast of the Adidas training camp, but it attracts more attention than McDonald¡¯s training camp and the All-Star Game!  Almost all the mvps of this event eventually entered the NBA. The 18-man roster for the final game of this event almost all entered the NCAA's first-level league teams in every session.

    The McDonald¡¯s High School All-Star Game is almost like a formality, the Dunk Contest only looks at physical fitness and dunk creativity, while the final game of the Adidas training camp really looks at skills and basketball talent.

    While Pierce was eating pizza, Zhang Hao used his computer to search for detailed information about this match at the Adidas training camp.

    ????????? Using computers these days requires a lot of patience

    "Yo ho!"

    Zhang Hao looked at the list of contestants and quickly found the names of some familiar people. It was not that they were familiar with each other, but he knew those people.

    Garnett, Kobe, Hamilton, Bibby, Jermaine O'Neal but most people still don't know them, there are more than 100 people.

    Zhang Hao thought about the speed at which his mid-range shot improved Originally he had no expectations for the Adidas training camp, but now he has. What he is good at is running, catching and shooting. If there is a teammate who is better at passing the ball, he can improve the relationship.  Point, maybe he can make the final 18-man roster?

    The probability of entering the NCAA Division I school team will be greatly increased!

 Chapter 6 6. Paul, a man must do whatever he says (please collect and recommend)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao¡¯s ability evaluation: 62

    Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 72, jumping 93, flexibility 96, stamina 90

    Shooting: 45 three-pointers, 79 mid-range shots, 83 layups

    Skills: 54 ball control, 43 passing, 85 catching and shooting"

    Zhang Hao took a look at his latest ability evaluation. His ball control improved by two points, his strength increased by two points, his mid-range shooting increased by 4 points, his layup increased by 3 points, and his overall ability evaluation improved by two points.

    He didn¡¯t practice ball handling and layups much, but the improvement in strength also brought some improvement to these two items.

    And this is just the result of just 6 days of training!

    Unlike Zhang Hao who initially thought that his shooting was getting better, once he started doing latissimus dorsi and waist and abdominal strength training, he knew that the final improvement would definitely not only be in the mid-range shooting, but also in other aspects because he was not the head coach.  It won¡¯t be that big, but training will definitely lead to improvements in other abilities.

    Zhang Hao really hopes to find another cheat bug and get more special rewards. Obviously, the rewards for ordinary tasks are related to lifespan. Whether there are other rewards for tasks is unknown for the time being.

    There is also a usable lifespan What exactly this "available" means is not yet known.

    Now Zhang Hao is not in a hurry. After he knew that the participation of specially signed players in the competition could bring benefits to him, he began to pay attention to those games that were not available. Originally, he looked down on some games, but he also paid attention to them, but for the time being, he only paid attention to them.  Pay attention, you must first practice your mid-range shooting well, and you must find a way to grasp the upcoming dunk contest and training camp. In the end, it doesn't matter if you don't get anything. It would be great to get to know more high school geniuses.

    Now that he has decided to participate and has already signed up, Zhang Hao naturally has to calculate what kind of rewards he can get. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. It is not always possible to establish a good relationship with some people who are sure to succeed in the future, even if it is just a familiar face.  bad thing.

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao remembered one thing, that is, can the player detection function detect Pierce's strength?

    Zhang Hao is really curious!

    The subtitles responded immediately.

    ¡°Paul Pierce, height 195 cm, weight 108 kg, ability evaluation 67, offense 72, defense 61,

    Physical fitness: speed 85, strength 85, jumping 72

    Shooting: 68 three-pointers, 69 mid-range shots, 87 layups

    Skills: 82 ball control, 63 passing, 63 low post, 65 high post¡­¡±

    It¡¯s really detectable!

    Zhang Hao saw that Pierce was rated 5 points higher than him, and he was not surprised. Pierce has many skills, which are much richer than his monotonous running and catching style.

    It is true that Zhang Hao's single specialty is very good in running, catching and shooting, better than Pierce, and more athletic, but Pierce's skills are too comprehensive. He has followed his two athletic brothers since he was a child, and the two brothers have shown the potential to become professional players.  After the potential, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, the people around the two brothers have gradually become young people who are at least capable of a first-level university. They often take Pierce with them, and there are many basketball masters among the students. Over time,  , Pierce's technology becomes more and more comprehensive.

    If you go to college for two or three years at the same time, a player like Pierce who is good at all types of basic skills will obviously have a better chance of entering the NBA than Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao has also been learning to adapt to this era in the past few days. At first, it was really difficult to accept that there was no smartphone in his hand, and it was difficult to accept that information exchange was so stagnant. In fact, this was also the case when he was a child, but "it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality".  After so many years in an era when access to information was so easy, it¡¯s really hard to adapt to suddenly returning to such an era.

    But there is no other way but to adapt slowly.

    One of the ways to adapt is to learn about things through newspapers and TV news. The main thing to know is the NBA draft and the competition between strong NCAA teams for talented high school students.

    No, after eating the pizza, Pierce continued to play games, and happened to turn on the TV to watch the midday news on the American cable TV sports channel.

    "According to frontline reporter Aleka Spencer, Tim Duncan, the most popular No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft and the 19-year-old talented center of the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons, refused to participate in the draft early"

    The host was reading the press release, and the screen switched to Tim Duncan's game highlights from his sophomore season. It was simply unbelievable!  He could fly in the sky and escape from the earth. When Zhang Hao looked at the man in the picture, he didn't look like the paralyzed man with very solid basic skills. Instead, he looked like Howard or David Robinson. He could run, jump, and was fierce!

    If you want to stop Duncan,Pierce's complaints about the American cable TV station suddenly stopped I thought carefully about what I just said. This shady friend has a very good memory!  If he said something, this guy would definitely remember it - wait, did my fat guy on the West Coast say that Duncan would run naked if he surpassed Olajuwon?

    cut!  How can this be?  Can any center surpass Olajuwon?  Unless Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, and Russell turn 30 again!

    If Duncan can surpass Olajuwon, Pierce will eat him while standing upside down After thinking about it, Pierce still didn't say anything, otherwise he will definitely be remembered by this sinister friend.

    There are no absolutes in this world. Who would have thought that the best outside magician in history would be caught up?  Michael Jordan's three consecutive championships before his first retirement directly caught up with Magic's historical status.

    Although Pierce is a little annoyed by this friend's personality, Pierce still thinks Zhang Hao's overall personality is very good. He is just withdrawn and not annoying. Once we get to know each other, he is actually very easy to get along with. He just likes to get in trouble and is a slut.  Dark man.

    Zhang Hao, seeing that today¡¯s noon news is over, turned off the TV, moved his body, and prepared to practice one-arm paddling and exercise his muscles.

    In the future, he will be very good at sociability, while the Zhang Hao of this world doesn't talk much, but is very good at inserting swords. He has the kind of instinctive talent, but it can only be shown with friends like Pierce who play basketball and go out to eat together every day.

    The combination of the two makes it quite special now. For new people, Zhang Hao may become very tactful; for those he is more familiar with, he will show concern; for someone like Pierce who is so familiar with him and has always taken care of him he is scheming and loves to stab him.  Your true nature will be exposed.

 Chapter 7 7. The little brother finally figured it out (please collect and recommend)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    When Pierce went to be interviewed, Zhang Hao looked around. There were more than 70 people participating in this year's McDonald's All-Star Weekend training camp. In the end, 18 high school all-star players, 6 dunk contest players, and 6 three-pointers will be selected.  There are players participating in different competitions, and one player may participate in all three events.

    Some people registered and got their room cards and then left, while others stayed.

    After Zhang Hao got the room card, he looked at it and saw room 404. This room number will never appear in China, but in the United States, room 513 usually does not exist.

    After looking around, most of them were black high school students, some were in groups, some were alone, and almost no one knew him There were really familiar faces, and it was the kind of situation where he was familiar with others and others didn't know him.  .

    Director Lu!

    After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao took the initiative to come to the side of the tiny Tyronn Lu and exclaimed in a low voice: "Taylon Lu! Wow, it's really you!"

    Tyronn Lue was waiting for his good friend Nazr Muhammad, a talented insider who had decided to join the University of Kentucky, to report. He was distracted and thinking about whether to go to the University of Nevada or the University of Kentucky when he was suddenly called  When I saw the name, I looked up and sawa Chinese I didn't recognize.

    Before Tyronn Lue could ask questions, Zhang Hao smiled enthusiastically and said: "Hello, I watched your game when I traveled to Mexico City before. You are great. I believe you will be able to enter the NBA one day!"

    As the saying goes, don¡¯t hit anyone with a smile when you raise your hand. When Tyronn Lue heard this, he thought, is this a fan?  No, but at least they appreciate his high school basketball genius!

    Those who can be here are almost all the top high school basketball talents in each state.

    "Brother, I also think I can enter the NBA"

    Tyronn Lu was still confused just now, but when he felt happy, he immediately became brothers. This didn¡¯t make Zhang Hao feel strange, most black people were like this.

    Zhang Hao, who took the initiative to find a topic to talk about, became familiar with Tyronn Lu in a few moments.

    "Brother, you must look for me next time you go to Mexico City. Look, you went to Mexico City and got lost. Do you know why it is called Mexico City? Does Mexico know? Don't care As long as I am here, you will definitely do it.  Take you to the most interesting places"

    When Tyronn Lu said this, his expression showed a trace of vulgarity, especially like Kokawa Xiaofu in Doraemon, showing an expression that all men understand.

    When Pierce came back from the interview, he saw that Zhang Hao was having such a lively chat with Mr. Basketball from Missouri This kid finally got it!

    Pierce has always been worried that Zhang Hao will be bullied if he enters college. In this world, weak people may not necessarily be bullied, but aloofness will definitely be isolated.

    If it weren¡¯t for Pierce¡¯s constant help, it might be really difficult for Zhang Hao to survive in the school team. With Pierce¡¯s help, Zhang Hao would have the opportunity to be recognized by his teammates with his strength.

    However, Pierce still felt that Zhang Hao was too withdrawn, because the person Zhang Hao was looking for to chat with was one of the dozens of most famous high school basketball players.

    Due to various reasons, Pierce believed that Zhang Hao was only passionate about strong people.

    But this is much better than pure isolation. Those who can enter the NBA are the top talents in the world. Similarly, those who can enter the NCAA are also the top talents among high school students. In this way, Pierce is interested in Zhang Hao entering college.  I feel relieved about what will happen next. At least, this guy is willing to get in touch with powerful people.

    Seeing Pierce coming over, Zhang Hao nodded as a greeting.

    Tyronn Lue also recognized Pierce. Among high school geniuses, in addition to dazzling super talents like Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant, even talents like Vince Carter are currently outside of Florida.  None of them are famous, and this unknown refers to the public.

    Among high school basketball players, Mr. Basketball in each state is still very famous.

    For example, Paul Pierce is known as the high school version of Barkley, although Pierce refuses this nickname.

    Tyronn Lue is nicknamed Little Hardaway, referring to Tim Hardaway, the cross-step dribbling king, rather than Penny, who was an All-Star starter and first team player in his second year.

    These two are the best high school basketball players in their respective states, and they have met each other, although only once, at the Adidas training camp last year, but they are both future-oriented people who are easy to make friends with, and they quickly became friends  Let¡¯s chat together.

    Zhang Hao also saw that Tyronn Lue could become an NBA head coach in his 30s in the future. He knew that this guy had extremely strong communication skills and must be the type to make friends In addition to those coaches with outstanding talents, other coaches  Almost all of them are very popular, whether they are in the NBA or??ncaa, there will always be some coaches who have average ability but can always find a job.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s goal is to become a head coach in the future, whether it¡¯s the NCAA, the NBA, or the CBA, his goal is to live until he dies.

    Therefore, it is very important to have good connections. Those who can become head coaches in the future may be a little naive now and only show their sociability skills, but in the future they will be very well-connected. Think of the famous Celtics player  McHale, couldn't he still find a head coaching job more than ten years later just by relying on his good communication skills?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    That is to say, Zhang Hao doesn't have much fame now. If he could have the fame that the future son of Akron had in high school, he would definitely make good use of it. But now, if he has the chance, he would like to interact more with some of the future NBA players in his impression.  The players are familiar

    If you really have the opportunity to enter the NBA in the future, it will not be bad if you build relationships with more NBA players in advance. For example, if you go to a team and have two or three teammates you know, they may be more willing to play together.  Pass the ball to you.

    If there is something that may be beneficial, do it more!

    While we were chatting, a black charcoal head camereally black!  Although Zhang Hao has seen so many black people, he has rarely seen such a black person. It seems that he should be a black person of South Sudanese descent.

    This is a very enthusiastic person. Tyronn Lue or Zhang Hao took the initiative to contact him, but the blackest basketball player in the game greeted Zhang Hao proactively and enthusiastically.

    Nazr Mohammed.

    Zhang Hao has an impression. This is a veteran who has played for many years in the future. He can hardly play anymore. In the end, he can still hold a contract close to the middle class in the two years after retirement. The reason is that he has a strong ability to lead the locker room!

    "The United States really has a lot of basketball geniuses But this is probably because this is the High School All-Star Weekend hosted by McDonald's. Although the focus is only on the slam dunk contest, and universities don't care much about it, but in high schools  In the minds of students, the McDonald's All-Stars should be a very high honor, after all, the best high school students in each state are invited"

    There were more people, so Zhang Hao didn¡¯t have the opportunity to talk more like when he was alone with Tyronn Lu, but it didn¡¯t matter, it was just to get to know each other.

    The four of them went to a nearby hotel together. After arriving at the hotel, they met a lot of people.

    I met Vince Carter who was being interviewed outside the hotel. Although Carter is currently not famous in Los Angeles, his dunks in the high school league are very famous in Florida. McDonald's is using him as a selling point of this dunk contest. Los Angeles is  While no media was interested in Carter, McDonald's paid them to report on it.

    Because McDonald¡¯s is sure that as long as Carter shows his dunking ability, he will definitely become a hit!  Even though this slam dunk contest is far less popular than the NBA slam dunk contest, and its audience is very limited, even if it is only popular among students But their main customers are those students, and that's what they do.

    Originally, McDonald¡¯s also invited Philadelphia¡¯s Kobe Bryant, a talented rising star who broke Chamberlain¡¯s high school record at the age of 16, but was rejected.

    Since everyone is still a teenager, even if Zhang Hao knew about some future NBA players, he wouldn't be able to recognize them. But Pierce's popularity is even better than Zhang Hao imagined. There are many famous juniors and seniors in high school basketball.  Players all know Pierce.

    Zhang Hao also met several future NBA players whose names he remembered. Desmond Mason, one of the two favorites to win the dunk contest, and Ricky Davis, who shouted "James is chosen to assist me."  .

    Zhang Hao didn't know more of the geniuses mentioned by Pierce. They might just be high school geniuses. For example, the future son of future head coach Doc Rivers, the "True No. 1 high school student" Rivers Jr., arrived in college.  Maybe he doesn't seem that talented. Just like Zhang Hao, who is a high school student in California, he is so strong that his body can even suppress most players who play center But he is only a high school student after all.

    The current high school rankings are messy and do not have much authority in the minds of fans. Only high school performers as good as Garnett, Bibby and Kobe can truly become famous.

    In the evening, Pierce, who had received a sum of money from his mother, invited some talented high school players with reasonably good connections to have dinner together, and Zhang Hao was naturally among them.

    The main purpose of Pierce coming to this event is to see if there is a chance to get to know a few more people. It just so happens that Zhang Hao is going to participate later, so let¡¯s come together.

    Seeing that Zhang Hao talked more than before, it seemed that it was because everyone was a "genius high school student". Pierce felt very relieved. Zhang Hao had this idea of ????taking the initiative to communicate with others. When he got to college, he would not be so easily isolated.  Bar?

    The slam dunk contest is McDonald's main attraction this time. Generally speaking, if the program is broadcast on a television station, there must be a fee. The producer collects money from the television station, because the television station can sell advertisements. However, in order to be broadcast live across the United States, the slam dunk contest in recent years has been  No money was collected, and McDonald's even had to spend its own money to promote it through various channels.

    In other words, McDonald's almost spends money to produce this program. The most critical slam dunk contest cannot be careless.

    The producer carefully looked at the physical test reports of each participating player and prepared to select some to make leaflets and distribute them to various communities.

    Some of the players should be praised, such as Carter, Desmond Mason, and Ricky Davis. They are all high school students who are very famous for dunking in their respective states.

    When he turned to Zhang Hao¡¯s physical examination report, the producer was surprised.

    Zhang Hao and Pierce were purely invited to make up the numbers. He was not surprised that they refused to participate. But if they did, he was naturally happy. He could use them for publicity, which could improve the ratings in the Los Angeles area to some extent.  And it¡¯s the kind of student group that can bring in revenue.

    Pierce has average running and jumping ability, which is already considered outstanding. Pierce's weight can keep up with some NBA insiders. He really looks like a fool. The nickname Barkley is not a joke.

    And Zhang Haothis 109-centimeter run-up jump is considered top-notch among black players!

    ? Then we need to publicize this well and send more leaflets to the Chinese community.

    Chinese are a very special category among immigrant groups around the world. They immigrate and still regard themselves as Chinese. Of course, they are mainly the current two generations of Chinese who immigrated directly and whose families were mostly raised by Chinese.  Children, it will be hard to say when the next generation comes.

    With 18 million Chinese people gathered together, they may burn themselves to death internally, but in a foreign country, their cohesion is very strong.

    McDonald¡¯s has not been successful in breaking into the Chinese circle. As for fast food, the older generation still prefers Chinese fast food and KFC, which is more catered to Chinese tastes.

    This producer didn't regard Zhang Hao's small role as a life-saving straw to open up the Chinese market. Anyway, it wouldn't cost much to invest in more promotional flyers. He was just doing what a producer should do, and Zhang Hao had to pass it.  Only if he has passed the trials can he promote him more. If he has not passed the trials, there is no need.

    But this also gave the producer more expectations for this afternoon¡¯s audition.

    ¡­¡­

    After the physical test, I ate lunch provided by McDonald¡¯s, which was a variety of fast food. There was a camera filming next to it. Anyone with a discerning eye would know what was going on.

    Preparing for the slam dunk contest If it were Zhang Hao in the past, he would definitely not participate. His dunks are nothing new, but now, although he may not be better at dunking than Carter, there will be so many creative dunkers in the future.  Now, those ideas he remembered are all his!

    During the intervals of shooting training, Zhang Hao also practiced those dunks. His excellent jumping allowed him to complete many dunks. He still had confidence. There was no extravagant hope for the championship, but through the trials, entering the finals, and dunking a perfect dunk, Zhang Hao wanted to complete it.

    At noon, I chatted with Pierce, Tyronn Lue, and Muhammad for a while. At 1 p.m., the three of them arrived at the Great Western Forum in advance. There were two McDonald's High School All-Star selections and two games this afternoon.  In the middle is the selection competition for the slam dunk contest.

    There are also spectators at the tryout, all of whom are local students in Los Angeles, most of whom are students from Inglewood High School.

    The three of them came to the player area in the front row. A Hispanic girl with a good figure and a lot of sports in the front directly behind the player area greeted them: "Akers, Paul, you are here!"

    Pierce just said "Hi" and looked like he had no interest in women.

    This made Zhang Hao very strange, but it seemed to have been like this all along. Pierce didn't know which friend from China said, "You don't have the nerve to have a girlfriend if you don't have enough money?" Then he didn't have a girlfriend throughout high school  ¡­

    Zhang Hao, who also had no money, responded enthusiastically: "April, are you here too? Are you here to cheer me up?"

    April Clark, who has become accustomed to Zhang Hao's changes in recent times, raised her eyebrows and joked: "Yes, our dunk king in Inglewood, let's see your performance today."

    "Originally, I thought I might not make it to the finals, but with your support, I feel full of strength and want to output"

    After exchanging pleasantries,?That.

    In terms of viewing pleasure alone, Zhang Hao felt that the dunks of the previous participating players were pretty good, with good bounce and smooth movements. After all, they were the best dunking high school students in the United States invited by McDonald's. When it came time for the sixth participating player to dunk.  , the first dunk with three unanimous votes appeared, and this was also the first pass given by Julius Erving tonight.

    Dean Grove, a charcoal whose black charcoal is second only to Nazr Muhammad among all the people present, used a highly entertaining crotch dunk to win Julius Erving's first pass.  .

    Ricky Davis, who came on the court in the 9th place, dunked with a change of hands. Since Dean Grove was in front, he could not let Julius Erving raise his card. Two votes are pending.

    Desmond Mason, who came on the court in the 11th place, used a beautiful rebound to catch the ball and turned around with a 180-degree back dunk to win the second unanimous vote.

    Zhang Hao originally thought that Tyronn Lue would surprise him. After all, Fisher could fly when he was young, but in the end, Tyronn Lue rushed forward with a chop and was directly eliminated

    Finally, it¡¯s time to reach Zhang Hao!

    There were many fans who were familiar with Zhang Hao at the scene. After all, they were all students in Los Angeles. Among them, more than two hundred people from Inglewood High School were cheering crazily. The nature of human beings is repeaters. Other students also cheered.

    Others¡¯ attention is not on Zhang Hao, such as Desmond Mason and Ricky Davis. Their targets are Carter, who has been interviewed continuously for the past two days.

    But when they heard the cheers from the fans at the scene, they also turned their attention to Zhang Hao.

    And Zhang Hao, who walked onto the court, was particularly excited!

    For the future memory, this was the first time in his life that so many people gathered to watch him participate in a competition, but the memory of this era made him quite calm, because there were also many spectators in their school's competition.

    At this moment, Zhang Hao, who originally regarded playing basketball as a way to survive because he had memories of the future, really fell in love with such cheers from the bottom of his heart.

 Chapter 9 9. The attention of LOGO men (please collect and recommend)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    A group of people made an appointment to have a fast food meal, and the relationship between people who were not so familiar became a little more familiar.

    Zhang Hao also knew that Carter was not that arrogant, but that when it came to dunking, Carter always had the attitude of "I am invincible in the world". When he came to participate in the dunk contest, he regarded everyone as "the first bidder", so  He would look arrogant, but after having a recognized opponent, Zhang Hao, at least he would look like an ordinary high school student when dealing with Zhang Hao and his group.

    What Zhang Hao didn't know was that the reason Carter came to take the initiative to make friends was related to what he said to several people around him at the end of the trial. At that time, Carter was really ready to run to provoke a wave, but he heard what Zhang Hao said  When he said this, Carter, who came behind Zhang Hao's group, was grinning so much that his lips were reaching his ears. He still had no provocative aura and ran away quickly.

    After dinner, Zhang Hao and Pierce sent the two female classmates back to the apartment. Both of them lived in the apartment of Pierce's family.

    After sending the two of them back, Zhang Hao and Pierce naturally had to go back to the hotel to stay. It is indeed more comfortable to stay in the hotel.

    However, on the way back to the hotel, Pierce felt the slightly resentful eyes next to him.

    "Aix, what's wrong with you? Didn't you have enough to eat tonight?"

    "What's the name of the girl with April? She seems to be called Chris? She wants to see your room, why don't you agree?"

    "My room is so messy. Why should I take her there? I need to send her back to the apartment early. I also want to play games. I just secretly bought the latest version of MapleStory. I have to finish it while staying in the hotel. I can take it home to my mother."  You want to talk about me again"

    "I wish you to be single forever!"

    "Crooked?"

    The two returned to the hotel and each went to their own rooms. One of the great things about the McDonald's All-Stars is that the rooms they arranged were all single rooms, so there was no awkward situation of people they didn't know living together. I heard Pierce say that there was an Adidas training camp there.  Just stay in a double room.

    ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter to Zhang Hao, as long as his roommates are not too sloppy.

    After taking a shower, Zhang Hao looked at the 395 days left to live I hope he can get a perfect dunk in the dunk contest final the day after tomorrow.

    But this is just Zhang Hao¡¯s guaranteed goal, he now wants to win the championship!

    champion!

    Of course we have to compete for the championship!

    The opponent is Carter!  If you can beat Carter once in the slam dunk contest, you will be praised for life!

    The next two days are the preparation time for the slam dunk contest, and you can go to the Great Western Forum Arena to prepare for the game. Tomorrow the Lakers will leave for Seattle. The first game between the two teams is on the 27th.

    Zhang Hao looked at the goals of the mission before going to bed. Sure enough, if there was no prompt before, it must have not been completed. Passing the trial with unanimous votes does not count as a slam dunk.

    It was a uneventful night, and on the next day, Zhang Hao came to the Great Western Forum Arena alone for shooting training.

    Training in an NBA team¡¯s arena feels very different.

    Zhang Hao has long been prepared for how to dunk in the finals. What is more important for him now is to develop all the effects of the mid-range shot growth card before the start of the Adidas training camp, and strive to enter the Adidas training camp by then.  One of two elite teams!

    Since you are ready to start as a player and move towards the position of coach, you must first establish your identity as a player, and then you can stay longer in the professional or semi-professional arena, cultivate more contacts, and have the opportunity to become a coach.

    NCAA, Development League, European Leaguehe doesn't choose.

    Before, Zhang Hao only trained with his high school team. When he saw that his junior teammates needed the coach's supervision to train well, Zhang Hao didn't have much idea.

    Now I came to the Great Western Forum Arena for training. There was obviously a game this afternoon, but Zhang Hao didn't see many people coming to train. The Lakers' huge home team training ground was empty, with only a few kittens.

    Zhang Hao deeply felt that those players who have excellent skills after entering the NBA may not be simply trained during college, but the difference between them and other players can be seen from the beginning.

    Like Pierce, despite his intemperate diet, he is now as fat as an NBA-level center, nicknamed the high school version of Barkley, but he is absolutely unambiguous in training, but he does not yet have the concept of controlling his diet.

    As for the talents who participated in the McDonald's All-Star Selection this time, Zhang Hao felt that they might really be extremely talented in playing basketball, but in terms of these details, there was a gap between them and the truly outstanding players. Slowly, in a few years,  , spend time in college, or enter the professional arena, the gap will be extremely obvious.

      But when Zhang Hao said this, Mike Bibby felt much more comfortable.

    Without stopping, Mike Bibby still left, but after leaving the sight of the two of them, he actually took small steps, revealing his inner joy.

    "He's very good at playing." Carter didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Hao saying that Mike Bibby was better at attacking with the ball than him. He was quite honest in this regard. He was really good. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. You  How do you practice your mid-range jumper! I see that there aren¡¯t many people who play in the NBA who are better than your mid-range jumper. Let¡¯s compare this afternoon to see which one is more accurate, your mid-range jumper or my three-point shot!¡±

    "Ah, okay, I want to try it too."

    Zhang Hao did not refuse and accepted, but he didn't know if it was his own illusion. Carter didn't seem to care much about who was stronger, but was he simply interested in the "showdown"?

    Just as Zhang Hao described Mike Bibby, "Geniuses all have quirks." Carter gave Zhang Hao a completely different feeling from other geniuses. This guy seemed to have no desire to win or lose!

    It seems that for Carter, whether it is a slam dunk contest or other things related to winning or losing, Carter seems to be "interested" and working hard for it, but he doesn't really care about winning or losing I definitely care about it, but far from it.  Lower than interest, far lower than the persistence of other similar geniuses in winning and losing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

    Pierce stayed in the hotel for two days to rest, and today he finally came out to accompany Zhang Hao to participate in the dunk contest!  This morning I have to find a park with Zhang Hao to practice cooperation.

    ¡°I vowed to my mother that I would definitely stand on the final stage of the dunk contest, and Pierce said he did it!¡±

    To practice coordination, you definitely can't go to the Great Western Forum Arena. No, when Zhang Hao and Pierce went out to find a park to practice coordination after breakfast, they saw Ricky Davis in the park closest to the hotel. The other party saw them.  When they come, stop practicing immediately.

    They don¡¯t want their opponents to know in advance how they are going to dunk.

    Simply, the two chose to go back to school to practice.

    The training process was very simple and ended quickly. It was so simple that Pierce couldn't help complaining: "I only have so few scenes? Just stand there? Can't you design more moves for me"

    Seeing that Pierce was in chatterbox mode again, Zhang Hao complained: "How about you do a 360-degree mid-air turn and pass the ball with your hips?"

    Pierce felt like his young heart had been stabbed: "If I could jump up, turn around 360 degrees and pass the ball in place, couldn't I participate in the dunk contest myself?"

    Pierce feels that Zhang Hao¡¯s evildoing is getting more and more serious, and the frequency of knife insertions has increased sharply!  I think it was only once in a while at first, but now it¡¯s several times every day!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    If it were the original Zhang Hao, he had no interest in the slam dunk contest, and he only knew that he was a good jumper, but didn't know how good he was. But now he knows that his jumper is top-notch, and there are so many dunk moves available Of course he has to  Just recharge your batteries and work hard. It won't hurt if you miss this day's training.

    We went to the billiards room near the school to kill time by playing Black 8 for a while. At noon, Zhang Hao and Pierce were going to find a place to eat two burgers, and happened to meet April Clark who came out for lunch after school.

    After saying hello, April Clark said enviously: "I'm so envious of you. Paul, you were admitted to the University of Kansas. It's easy for you to go to college, Aix I still have to review for next month's exam."

    "Didn't you say you wanted to learn to repair cars?" Zhang Hao asked, and then said: "Beautiful auto mechanic, when I have money, I will buy a car and ask you to repair it if it breaks down."

    April Clark couldn¡¯t stop laughing when she heard Zhang Hao¡¯s words, and responded: ¡°I also want to go to junior college so that I can make money early, but my mother wants me to study drama and try to see if I can get into the University of Southern California.¡±

    "You are so beautiful, I will definitely buy a ticket to support you in a play Will you still act in a play?"

    "Aix, I have acted in the school play! I also invited you to watch it, but you went to training and didn't come!"

    ¡°¡­Haha, April, the weather is nice today.¡±

    "Yes, very good. It started raining since this morning."

    "Will you come to watch the dunk contest tonight? If you come, I will ask someone from the club to take you to sit on the sidelines."

    "Of course I will go to your game"

    Pierce next to him looked at Zhang Hao chatting so animatedly with the school's beautiful tennis girl. He felt like a light bulb and couldn't get in the conversation. His heart was filled with sadness He was a million times thinner and a million times more handsome than him.  Do you want to order?  If you are a little more cheerful, there will be girls around you?

    ??This world is about looking at faces!  Full of malice!

    On April 28, 1995, the day of the McDonald¡¯s High School All-Star Slam Dunk Contest arrived.

    Events like the Dunk Contest always receive more attention than other competitions. McDonald's places it at the finale, even later than the High School All-Star Game. It has been the main event from the beginning.  After the high school leagues in various states ended at the end of January, promotion began.

    Up to now, the attention across the United States is not low. Most of the NBA first-round series do not have as much attention among various communities as this slam dunk contest.

    After the dunks of Carter and Zhang Hao were edited into the sports news of American cable TV stations, many people across the country became aware of Carter, a high school student, and Zhang Hao also attracted the attention of many people.

    Especially in the Chinese community, Zhang Hao¡¯s popularity has greatly increased!

    The Lakers have no game today and have just returned to Los Angeles after grabbing the home court advantage from Seattle. They don¡¯t train in the arena when they don¡¯t have games. Their home arena has business almost every day.For the performance, McDonald's invited two talk show announcers to warm up the spot. At 7:40 in the evening, the live signal from the American cable TV station was connected, and the host on the court began to say advertising slogans to promote McDonald's

    The first thing to start is the three-point contest. This Zhang Hao thinks Carter can win the championship directly. The level of several participating players is probably acceptable. Pierce is not worse than them at all.

    Three-pointers are not so valued these days, especially at this point in the NBA playoffs. We are now at the climax of the iron-blooded era set off by Pat Riley. Three-pointers will not work in the NBA playoffs, so attention will naturally be lost.  It's low. Let alone high school students, there aren't many college students who specialize in three-point shooting training.

    Half an hour later, after the audience almost dozed off watching the blacksmithing and almost impatient to wait, the three-point contest champion was finally announced, won by Michael Dixon, a 19-year-old senior at Washington Commonwealth High School in Seattle.

    After the simple award ceremony of the three-point contest, the style of painting has obviously changed!

 Chapter 11 11. Isn¡¯t it beautiful?  (Please bookmark and recommend votes)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    It is indeed exciting!

    It¡¯s not just about being able to live another 30 days, of course, this is the most important thing, the most important thing to do tonight.

    But this scene of enjoying the cheers of thousands of people is really great!

    This can really bring people endless motivation and the strongest desire to win!

    Zhang Hao seems to understand why some high school geniuses quickly become depressed when they reach college and college geniuses enter the NBA.

    Because no matter how good a high school student is, he is usually only compared with the high school students in the same state. When he gets to college, there are so many geniuses and older opponents who are equally talented but more experienced. He is no longer the most dazzling one.  There will really be many geniuses who become worried about gains and losses, and then become depressed.

    Recognition and support, these things are so important!

    It¡¯s true that there are examples of those who can endure loneliness and practice hard for many years to become a blockbuster, but more people need applause and cheers to increase their motivation.

    Because as an athlete, it is really difficult to succeed.

    But the harder it is to get something, the more you want to get it, so there are so many people working hard towards the ultimate goal. There are many examples in the NBA, including Payton, David West, Malone and others in the future.  When there are still teams that are willing to pay tens of millions of dollars in annual salary, they go for low salary or even basic salary, but they can obviously clock out like the Wolf Brothers and earn a few more years. If they didn't work so hard when they were young, they might even get more.  Earn more than ten years, and beat him for 30 years like the protagonist in the nonsense basketball novel "I Don't Want to Be the Boss" that Zhang Hao read before time travel.

    After Zhang Hao¡¯s first dunk, soon the second player on the court was pulled out.

    Ricky Davis.

    He really wanted to struggle, so he did a dunk that he clearly couldn't do - turning his body 360 degrees and changing hands.

    If the two actions are separated, Ricky Davis can do it very beautifully. However, if he is the first to play and dunks separately, it is unlikely to get a full score, but it is very possible to get a high score, but with Zhang Hao Zhuyu  Before that, he had to challenge the difficulty.

    ¡°Then¡­the movement is not smooth enough. The key is to turn around 360 degrees + change hands under the crotch. The height is no longer enough, and the ball goes out and hits the basket.

    Failed to dunk!

    Ricky Davis, who dunked for the second time, chose a less difficult one, a simple crotch dunk.

    The judges are quite professional. After all, there are two slam dunk champions, and the other three are all former NBA All-Stars. They will only give points based on the second dunk. They did not deliberately give low scores because the first dunk failed.

    However, Ricky Davis is still more suitable for dunks that show pure bounce and power. Commentators on American cable TV stations are saying that Ricky Davis is more suitable for the kind of lever tomahawk that leaps with all his strength, but  He has no awareness of this aspect. The completion of the crotch dunk is very high, but the aesthetic feeling is not enough.

    Only got 35 points!

    With this score, Zhang Hao looked at Desmond Mason and Carter who had not yet played, and Ricky Davis was eliminated.

    The next two people, Dean Grove and Miles Simon, obviously gave up their struggle. Before they participated in the trials, they thought they had something up their sleeves and might become popular. When they got to the preliminaries, they saw Zhang Hao and Carter.  I have lowered my pursuit and the goal is to reach the deciding game of the finals.

    Now, the two of them feel that when it comes to participating in the competition, friendship comes first, competition comes second, and just have fun.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Ricky Davis was shaking with anger. He came in full of confidence, but he ended up in last place?

    No!

    There are two more people!  Ricky Davis expects the next two to perform worse than him, only in this way can he soothe his wounded heart.

    However, Desmond Mason, who played second to last, calmed down after seeing the performance of the first three people. After the trial, he regarded Zhang Hao and Carter as his biggest competitors. When the opponent really dunked  When he performed a dunk that was better than the one in the trial, he was really shocked and wanted to explode.

    But he knows that reaching the finals stably is more important!

    You can¡¯t rush it, you have to get high scores steadily.

    Desmond Mason scored 45 points with a beautiful high pinball alley-oop and one-handed dunk.

    It has to be difficult, it has to be relatively high, it has to be enjoyable to watch, it has enough stretch, and it needs to be able to complete such a dunk. Obviously, you can sacrifice some jumping height to complete a more difficult and more expensive dunk but that won't work.  show thisA sense of power is Desmond Mason's only advantage. Zhang Hao feels that this future dunk king should not be underestimated!

    Next it was Carter's turn.

    Looking at Carter, who had no expression and seemed completely unaffected by Zhang Hao's "court-clearing dunk" as he walked onto the court, the audience was looking forward to it.

    Zhang Hao also squatted on the edge of the court, staring at Carter.

    See Carter dunk with your own eyes!  Didn¡¯t see enough last time!

    In the past two days, Carter's beautiful 360-degree windmill turn in the trial has made him famous. Compared with Zhang Hao, who is elegant and unrestrained but has to be said to be difficult in the eyes of fans who have watched NBA for so many years.  Carter is indeed more anticipated for his particularly high free throw line dunk.

    Of course, with Zhang Hao¡¯s ¡°court-clearing dunk¡± tonight, people also know that these two 18-year-olds are both players with the potential of top NBA dunkers.

    Why is it called potential?

    Because the muscle lines of the two are not good enough. If they have muscle bumps like the more mature Desmond Mason, not to mention being so explosive, as long as they look more powerful, the dunks of the two will be more enjoyable to watch.  Go up one floor.

    But the two men's dunks now are entertaining enough. Commentators on American cable TV stations are saying that since Dominique Wilkins won the dunk title in 1990, both Jordan and Dominique Wilkins said  After no longer participating in the dunk contest, the champions of the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in the past five years are not as high as these two 18-year-old dunk geniuses.

    In the past two years, there have been calls to cancel the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

    Carter came to the left sideline near the center line, dribbled the ball diagonally toward the basket, grabbed the ball one step away from the left free throw line in the three-second zone, took off with the ball in both hands, and swung a round ball in the air.  Big windmill, smashing the ball into the basket with both hands!

    "F!" Desmond Mason really cursed this time!  The school team teammates next to him jumped up and cheered!

    Even though Desmond Mason was very afraid of Carter's dunk, he didn't expect him to do so.

    Carter takes one step inside the free throw line!  Big windmill with both hands!  His head was actually flat when he buckled it down and he was still rising while doing the action!

    We are all high school students, why are the gaps between people so big?  These two guys are still thinner and obviously not fully developed. When they are fully developed, their dunks have both power and beauty Desmond Mason feels that he is incompatible with these two

    Zhang Hao had already stood up and moved his body to prepare after Carter's dunk. It was about to be his second dunk.

    Carter¡¯s dunk¡­is no better than Zhang Hao¡¯s!

    During the previous trials, although Zhang Hao was excited about Carter's dunk, he was not shocked because he felt that he could do better, and it is the same now.

    Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯ve ¡°seen¡± Carter¡¯s dunks that made him a god in the dunk world in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest. Maybe it¡¯s because Zhang Hao¡¯s own jumping ability can complete some top dunks in the future, even if he can¡¯t do it perfectly, such as his sense of strength.  It's impossible, but compared with the current Carter, Zhang Hao's dunks are not inferior to Carter's in terms of viewing or difficulty.

    "I don't know if the future Carter can win. Carter has not yet reached his physical peak. How long will it take if he doesn't seize the opportunity to fuck Carter now?"

    If before, it was just that the desire was getting deeper and deeper and he wanted to win very much, then now, Zhang Hao's mentality has changed to wanting to win again and having confidence!

    ¡°God is doing his best today! How can we retreat without a fight?

    Special contract player Zhang Hao has made a shining debut in the McDonald¡¯s High School All-Star Slam Dunk Contest and has become a champion candidate in the eyes of the audience and judges.

    Task: Triggered by Dunk King.

    Goal: Special contract player Zhang Hao wins this year¡¯s McDonald¡¯s High School All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

    Reward: Bronze Medal: Dunk Master.

    If the special contract player Zhang Hao gets full marks in all dunks with the encouragement and help of the host, the host will gain an additional 15 days of life.  "

    Encourage and care for yourself Zhang Hao shook his head, don't worry about it for now, just do it!

    ¡°I just completed the achievement of surviving for another 30 days. Wouldn¡¯t it be nice if I could win the championship and get a medal?

    What is the use of this medal?

    There was no time for Zhang Hao to study. The host had already introduced him to the stage again. The audience had already started cheering when he walked onto the stage. Without any time to think about it, Zhang Hao came to the three-point line on the left side of the top arc, took a deep breath, patted his chest, and looked towards  He rushed in under the basket.

    Another perfect score!

    Carter, like Zhang Hao, advanced to the final round with double perfect scores!

    The other person who advanced to the decider was the desperate Desmond Mason.

    "Why did I meet these two people? Why"

    Desmond Mason suddenly felt that the corner suited him very well. There seemed to be a voice in the dark telling him that he should squat in the corner and that he should like circles

    "I have decided! If I can enter the NBA, I will wear the No. 0 jersey!"

    It didn't matter what Desmond Mason was thinking. Amid the wild cheers of the audience, the host read the commercial again, and then the hired Lakers cheerleaders performed. This stage was the commercial time, and the American cable TV station  There must be an advertisement in the middle. A few minutes later, the host once again solemnly introduced the three dunk masters who entered the decisive game.

    According to the rules this time, Carter did not play in the finale. Zhang Hao was the first player to score 100 points in the first round and ranked first in scoring in the first round. Although Carter also had full points, he ranked second.  The third is Desmond Mason with 95 points.

    The first person to play is Desmond Mason.

    Desmond Mason and his teammates came to the court, and after some exchanges, he came to the center circle.

    His teammate stood on the left side of the free throw line and tossed the ball several times. He felt that it was almost done and signaled to him that he was ready.

    Desmond Mason nodded. Next, he needs good cooperation, and this dunk was an impromptu thought. Since he decided to go to the side, he will go to the end!

    I, Desmond - an emotionless sidekick - Mason, set out on the battlefield!  =¡Ô¦²(((¤Ä??w??)¤Ä

    Everyone is curious about what Desmond Mason will do this time, including Zhang Hao and Carter, who can't take their eyes off it. Indeed, this guy's second dunk in the first round brought quite a surprise.

    With more than 17,000 people watching, Desmond Mason started sprinting from the center circle, rushed outside the three-point line, and jumped suddenly!  His teammates also threw the ball.

    A dunk from the three-point line?

    Just when everyone was confused, Desmond Mason turned somersaults in the air

    Somersault to catch the ball!

    Desmond Mason, who finished the somersault, just caught the ball, continued to rush towards the basket, took off outside the reasonable collision area, and smashed the ball into the basket with a flying dunk with both hands!

    Good luck, the two of them cooperated for the first time and performed perfectly!

    This dunk was just average. It was obvious that most of the effort had been used in the somersault. The jump was not very high. When jumping up and dunking, there was still the inertia to pounce forward.

    But this dunk really made everyone¡¯s eyes shine!

    Watching the duel between Zhang Hao and Carter, my nerves were too tight. Having Desmond Mason, a man with a brilliant mind, accompany him and perform, which relieved the audience's tense nerves and allowed them to be more immersed in the game.  Enjoy the showdown between Zhang Hao and Carter, the strongest high school dunkers in history.

    46 points!

    Although he didn¡¯t get full points like in the first round, Desmond Green still got a high score of 46 points for this dunk.

    Desmond Mason saw that the dunk he was forced to do and couldn't come up with had a higher score than the first dunk in the first round that he had practiced for a long time. In his heart he suddenly felt that this was the right one for him.  What is the difficulty and style of dunking? Is it useful?

    Now, Desmond Mason has expectations again. If Carter and Zhang Hao perform abnormally

    What to expectwhat the heck!

    Next, Desmond Mason saw Carter rush out of the baseline and change hands to catch the big windmill with his crotch, and got full marks!

    Desmond Mason¡¯s dunk made the tense nerves of the audience relax for a while, and then was detonated by Carter again!

    Watching the replay on the big screen, Carter rushed out from the baseline, leaped high, changed hands during the jump, and when he reached the highest point and fell down, he swung a big windmill with one arm and smashed the ball into the basket  ¡­

    Listening to the wild cheers of the audience

    When I looked back, I saw several judges standing up and holding up 10 points

    Desmond Mason recalled the previous dunk contests. Since the NBA started holding dunk contests, he has not missed every live broadcast of the dunk contest.

    He was thinking, Julius Erving, Dominique Wilkins, Jordan can these people complete Carter's dunk this time?  Maybe, but what if Carter was in better shape and more attractive?

    althoughHe will use whatever works best for him.

    Pierce makes his debut again!

    Pierce came to the left sideline of the three-second zone and stood one step. He put the ball above his head and held it with both hands. Zhang Hao started sprinting from outside the left sideline and came to the left sideline more than half a meter behind Pierce to take off!

    When Zhang Hao jumped on top of Pierce's head, Zhang Hao grabbed the ball with his left hand. After grabbing the ball, he immediately pushed the ball down his right leg. He caught the ball with his right hand from the other side of his right leg. He opened his whole body and when it fell, he pushed the ball out with his right hand.  Swing it out from down to up and smash into the basket!

    Jumping over the man¡¯s crotch, he switches hands and pulls the bar to do a dunk!

    Except for Julius Erving who gave it 9 points, the other four judges all gave it 10 points!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s two dunks in the decisive game, in the eyes of the judges, were slightly better than Carter¡¯s!

    Zhang Hao scored 99 points, Carter scored 94 points, Desmond Mason scored 88 points

    The champion is announced!

    The scene was a little awkward. Xu Jicheng didn¡¯t know whether Zhang Hao was Chinese-American or Chinese. He watched tonight¡¯s slam dunk contest and Zhang Hao¡¯s interview. From the interview to the video of Zhang Hao introducing himself, Xu Jicheng felt that Zhang Hao was different from domestic  Athletes have completely different personality traits and are quite open-minded. However, it is very difficult to check a person's information these days. Even in China, it is difficult to track down fugitives whose identity information is known after they cross provinces. It is even more difficult in a foreign country.

    But having been a reporter for more than ten years, Xu Jicheng was very shy and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, let's start the interview"

    Xu Jicheng directly skipped this topic. It was text news anyway, so it would be fine if he did not write this paragraph. However, he planned to add this paragraph to the "NBA 50 Years" that he wrote and will be published next year. The national official media and the book he wrote,  The requirements are different.

    "I'll call you Aix. Congratulations on winning the slam dunk contest."

    "Thanks."

    "Why did you want to participate in the slam dunk contest?"

    Zhang Hao felt the embarrassment of the domestic media at this first question. It was really too embarrassing. His first reaction was to say, "I participated as soon as they invited me." But think about it, if you want to become a coach,  It doesn¡¯t have to be in the United States, you can also go back to your home country!  International students return to China and study in domestic sports universities. Those schools offer much better remuneration. If they become famous in advance, they may be able to become coaches of domestic basketball teams at a young age.

    Resisting the urge to complain, Zhang Hao thought for a moment and replied: "For the dream.

    I want to be a good basketball player, so let¡¯s try my abilities.

    I have a dream, which may sound ridiculous to you. I want to be the greatest athlete and greatest sports person in the history of Chinese sports. I want to join the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team in the future. I want to change the role of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team in the world.  Despite my weak position in the basketball world, I still want to be the head coach of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team in the future But I know it is difficult, so I will go step by step in a down-to-earth manner"

    No matter what, Zhang Hao sees that he only has more than a year to live, so he needs to brag about his awesomeness first.

    However, when Xu Jicheng listened to Zhang Hao¡¯s extremely difficult dream and calm tone, it seemed that he was not just talking

    This is the answer of an 18-year-old high school student?

    If Xu Jicheng hadn't known that Zhang Hao didn't have an agent, he would have thought that it was Zhang Hao's agent who taught him. He started looking for Zhang Hao's contact information when Zhang Hao passed the trials, but he couldn't find it at the time. Inglewood High School,  They refused to disclose the students' information. As for McDonald's, their Xinhua News Agency had no interest in the American high school All-Stars at first. They wanted to interview them temporarily but did not get permission from the participating players to interview.

    It wasn¡¯t until Zhang Hao won the slam dunk contest tonight that he got the opportunity to interview Zhang Hao from McDonald¡¯s.

    Xu Jicheng felt "dream" and "youth" from Zhang Hao's words. Suddenly, he recalled nine years ago when he had just graduated from Shandong University and wanted to change the chaos in the Chinese media industry

    However, you are still too young!  Xu Jicheng was going to help Zhang Hao polish what he said. How could he say that the national team was "weak"?  It should be said, "I want to help the national team go global."

    The meaning is the same, but it sounds completely different. Those senior sports bureau officials in China who are laymen and experts can only listen to good things.

    These are all the hardships Xu Jicheng suffered after entering the workplace. It is rare to see a young man like Zhang Hao. He can't help Zhang Hao much in his career. An 18-year-old high school student Xu Jicheng doesn't know what Zhang Hao will be like in the future.  But I am still ready to help. If Zhang Hao is not good in the future, it will not matter. If Zhang Hao is really famous in the future, as a basketball lover, Xu Jicheng is certainly willing to see a Chinese player on the world's highest level basketball stage.  .

    The next few questions from Xu Jicheng are mainly about Zhang Hao's performance in high school and some life situations after coming to the United States Not many will be written into the news, but he plans to write it into a special chapter of "NBA 50 Years" written by himself.  "Chinese Athletes Chasing NBA Dreams" has many topics.

    Ten minutes later, the interview ended. Zhang Hao and Xu Jicheng took a group photo together with the McDonald's advertising stand as the background.

    This is a request made by McDonald¡¯s to Xu Jicheng. The words ¡°McDonald¡¯s All-Star Slam Dunk Contest¡± must be marked in the news, and the stickers must also have McDonald¡¯s advertisements as the background.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°àÓàÓ¡­¡­¡±

    Back to the hotel, Zhang Hao turned into a monster on the bed and rolled on the sheets.Go awayit's a pity that there is only one person.

    As a young man, he is still an athlete and very restless.

    But at the end of the slam dunk contest, some female classmates who came to watch the game and some female students from local universities in Los Angeles rushed into the court to congratulate him and stuffed the small notes with their contact information into his clothes.  Pulley Clark gave her teammates some faceand now, she has some regrets.

    After getting up and taking a shower, Zhang Hao's complicated mood calmed down.

    He was very excited to win the dunk contest championship, but he knew very well that this was not an important award. In fact, in the eyes of professional players, it was not an award at all. High school was always just high school.

    Even if he is the No. 1 high school student in the United States in the Internet era in the future, if he does not perform well in the professional arena, it will be a joke.

    From the interview after the game, Zhang Hao could tell that the mainstream media was not interested in him. Those reporters were obviously invited by McDonald's. They were reporting news, rather than advertising for McDonald's. They just wanted to thank McDonald's for providing this stage.  He didn't know how many times he said it.

    The last Xinhua News Agency interview was just for publicity on McDonald's part.

    However, after tonight¡¯s slam dunk contest, he can live for 30 more days. Zhang Hao is very happy and even got a medal!

    There was no time to look at it, and when I returned to the hotel, I was confused and affected by complicated thoughts that were both exciting and calm. Now that I have calmed down, Zhang Hao immediately wanted to know the function of this medal.

    With a thought, subtitles appeared. This time, a "Medal Hall" interface was entered.

    The Silver Medal and the Gold Medal are both marked with "0", and the Bronze Medal is marked with "1".

    Opening the Bronze Medal page, Zhang Hao saw the "Slam Dunk Master" medal he got tonight.

    "Slam Dunk Master (Bronze) (not worn): After the contracted players wear it, every time they complete a dunk in the game, the team's enthusiasm will be greatly improved in the next three rounds."

    This medal is very useful!  Zhang Hao thought for a while, and if this medal was placed on the best dunker in the team, the players' enthusiasm on both offense and defense would be greatly improved in the few rounds after completing the dunk!  If it is the era of insiders eating pie in the future, it will definitely be useful.

    "Wait a minute, aren't I just an excellent dunker?"

    Zhang Hao thought, and the words "not worn" behind the medal "Slam Dunk Master" immediately changed to the words "wearing player: Zhang Hao".

    Done!

    He can live for 422 days, which is not a long time, but there is still a chance to extend his survival time. Maybe this slam dunk contest can make some universities interested in him. In the eyes of the public, such an event is just for fun, but  It should still have a certain influence on student groups and schools.

    Back then, he was spotted and invited to come to the United States to study in high school because of his top athletic ability. Now he has shown his talent in this area to those universities. As for the resultit's up to God!

    In fact, what he wants most now is no longer a scholarship. Of course, this is very important. What he wants is the attention of the university team, so that he can have opportunities to play and perform. The most direct thing is to get  Full basketball scholarship.

    With a thought in his mind, the subtitles were turned off. Zhang Hao really didn¡¯t want to see the cruel fact that he had 422 days left to live.

    Now even the idea of ??"it's great to live one more year" brought by the memory of the future has slowly faded away. Although these days, there are no smartphones and technology is underdeveloped, but girls don't have beautiful faces.  !  Although it is not easy to get along in the United States, there is a possibility that you can get along well and have the opportunity to become a professional athlete!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s goal of ¡°living to old age and dying¡± is becoming more and more determined.

    Opening the envelope of the dunk contest reward, there was a small stack of US dollars and four pieces of paper. Zhang Hao counted them, 1,995 US dollars, a huge amount of money!  There is no need to ask for money from my family in the next two months.

    As the saying goes, the poor are rich in culture but rich in military. Unlike the American blacks living in the slums, he does not have government-distributed food, so eating this is quite expensive. Pierce also has to be lucky to have a  My brother is a professional athlete, I have a brother who is a coaching assistant, and my mother also runs an apartment, so I can live such a comfortable life.

    Zhang Hao spends seven to eight hundred dollars a month just to save money.

    The family can afford this, but Zhang Hao still feels that it can help reduce the burden on the family.

    However, the 1,995 US dollars is secondary. The real prize is the four pieces of paper!

    Two 3rd row tickets to the Lakers home game tomorrow night!  And two 3rd row tickets to the Lakers for Game 4 of the first round or Game 2 of the 2nd round!

    After the Lakers seize the home court advantage in Game 1 of the first round, they can sell tickets for Game 4. If they directly defeat and sweep the promotion, they will switch to the first home court of the second round, which is Game 2 of the second round.  Stadium tickets.

    When Zhang Hao saw this ticket, he immediately thought of the person he wanted to invite to the game. However, there was a chatty fat man in the next room

 Chapter 14 14. People of the opposite sex are inhumane (please collect and recommend!)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    On May 1st, Zhang Hao went to shoot an advertisement for McDonald's. It was a very simple advertisement, catching and shooting, dunking, just these two actions, and then there was the happy scene of a group of people meeting to eat at McDonald's after the game  It's just an extra act, or an extra act in an advertisement.

    Taking advantage of the popularity, the advertisement came out soon, and Zhang Hao also appeared on TV again, finally showing his face.

    Time passed day by day, and Zhang Hao went to the arena to train for four or five hours every day, which was very boring. However, he was so bored for more than two years and nearly three years after coming to the United States, so he persisted.

    On May 8th, finally, the subtitle prompts came!

    ¡°Growth Card: The mid-range shooting expert has successfully used it.

    The muscle memory bonus for mid-range shooting training has ended, and the bonus for mid-range shooting training comprehension ability has ended.  "

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao¡¯s ability evaluation: 65

    Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 76, jumping 93, flexibility 95, stamina 90

    Shooting: 49 three-pointers, 90 mid-range shots, 86 layups

    Skills: 54 ball control, 43 passing, 86 catching and shooting"

    After more than a week of training, his mid-range shooting has been improving rapidly. When his strong mid-range shooting skill improved to 90, his ability evaluation finally exceeded 65!

    Basically, he only has mid-range shooting and pie-eating abilities. That¡¯s it, his ability evaluation is about to catch up with Pierce!

    This made Zhang Hao once again understand the importance of having a strong point. He knew a lot about the NBA in the era of information explosion in the future. There were many players who were quite versatile in college and seemed to know everything, but in the NBA they became high draft picks.  Rookies, the reason is that those players are good at everything, but not good at anything. When they were in college, it was not obvious that there was any problem. At most, they suffered when playing against the same top college students. But in the NBA, all opponents are not as strong as the best in college.  His opponent was weak, even if he was a substitute, he was the all-powerful presence in the NCAA back then, so no one could beat him, and his NBA career ended hastily.

    With an NBA-level mid-range shot of 90, Zhang Hao really wanted to shout: "Who else is there!"

    However, due to his always noble and cool image in the school team, Zhang Hao held back. After all, he only had one absolute strong point.

    In addition to the improvement in mid-range shooting, his strength has also improved in the past period of time, because he has specialized in strength training. He has reached 76 from the early 70s at the beginning. However, due to weight constraints and the lack of real strength training, his strength has also been improved.  Compared with a guy like Pierce who has a first-class level in the NBA, he is still far behind. He weighs more than 100 kilograms and is also a strong type. If Pierce loses fat and strengthens muscle training, his strength can still go up one or two levels.  .

    The three-point ability value has also been improved to 49, the layup value has been improved to 86, and the catching and shooting has been practiced recently, and it has been improved to 86.

    During training, Scott Collins, the head coach of the school team, would come to help Zhang Hao practice catching and shooting when he was free. Zhang Hao also practiced very hard, but catching and shooting was his strength. If he wanted to  It¡¯s difficult to improve too much. For this skill, actual combat is more important than training, but games don¡¯t happen every day, so we can only train for now. However, due to the rapid improvement in mid-range shooting, the catching and shooting has also improved reasonably, breaking through the 85 ability.  A small bottleneck of value, reaching 86 catch and shoot.

    ¡­¡­

    On the evening of the 8th, Zhang Hao invited Pierce, April Clark, and a white female high school tennis player who was a teammate of April Clark¡¯s school team to have dinner together.

    April Clark brought a female companion for Pierce's sake.

    But Pierce is really a talkative man, and he doesn¡¯t understand what April Clark means at all. Pierce is very good at talking to people and dealing with all kinds of people. But in that aspect, he has no awareness at all.  nothing.

    Pierce took a big bite of a chicken leg and asked while chewing: "Akers, how many days will it take you to go to the Adidas training camp?"

    Zhang Hao responded: "About 8 days, I will report tomorrow, and the training camp will be from the 10th to the 16th. If I can make the roster for the final game, I will have to stay another day."

    "You can definitely get in. I got in last year. Your recent progress has been too fast. Your mid-range shot wow, it's true. I have to train hard too. I accidentally got passed by you when I was in college.  What should you do if you blow up? No! I must train hard, and my mother has seen me a little impatient recently. I have to stay in the gym more. After three weeks of rest, it¡¯s time to train hard"

    Pierce is in chatterbox mode again. The school¡¯s other two sports figures, Zhang Hao and April Clark, have long been used to it. As the school¡¯s top sports figures,Players, they spend more time together, but they used to take care of Zhang Hao, but now Zhang Hao has become more proactive;

    "April, the exam is coming up in two days. How are you preparing?"

    "I don't have much confidence"

    "You will definitely be admitted to college. When you become a drama artist, I will definitely buy tickets to watch your performances every day."

    "You will definitely get a college basketball scholarship through this training camp, but you don't need to buy tickets. As an actor, you must have family tickets. You give me the money and I will give you the tickets"

    As they chatted, the topic of college came up. Pierce sighed: "I never thought it would be so difficult for international students to get sports scholarships."

    Speaking of this, Zhang Hao's balls ached, but fortunately, he was used to it, so he responded: "It doesn't matter, you just get used to it. My mentality is very stable now."

    Seeing that Zhang Hao didn't seem to care about this matter as much as a month ago, Pierce and April Clark were relieved. However, they actually felt that Zhang Hao's setback this time was not a bad thing, because what they saw was this time.  After the setback, Zhang Hao did not collapse due to the blow, but instead became much more cheerful.

    But the two of them would not say this, and they were really confused that no first-level university was willing to give Zhang Hao a full basketball scholarship.

    On the other hand, Zhang Hao, due to examples like Jeremy Lin in the future, became more and more calm and began to plan various alternatives.

    Teenagers don¡¯t know what it¡¯s like to be sad. Although everyone has been getting busier and busier recently and spending less and less time together, the three of them don¡¯t feel too much. They always feel that this life will never end.

    We had a meal together. The next day, Zhang Hao got on the plane to San Francisco at 9 a.m., a little over an hour's flight + an hour's airport bus ride. At around 11 noon, Zhang Hao finally arrived.  At the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium, there is a free lunch after the report, and Zhang Hao is definitely going to take advantage of it.

    This arena was renovated on the basis of the home arena of the Warriors 30 years ago. It has hosted many large-scale events, and the Cardinals, the basketball team of Stanford University, often hold games here.

    The Adidas training camp will be held here this time.

    Whether winning the previous McDonald¡¯s Slam Dunk Contest has brought benefits to Zhang Hao, the benefits can be seen this time. Compared with the previous participation in the McDonald¡¯s Slam Dunk Contest, no one cared about it. This time, when Zhang Hao appeared at the San Francisco Auditorium Arena, he had just arrived.  At the hotel, a reporter came to interview!

    However, the reporter¡¯s questions were obviously not as friendly as those reporters invited by McDonald¡¯s before.

    "Hello, Akers, I'm Emile Jackson, a reporter from Bleacher Report. Can I have a simple interview with you?"

    The reporter in front of him looked like a human being, but he didn¡¯t feel much kindness to Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao nodded and responded: "Ouke."

    "Akers, you are the first Chinese to participate in the McDonald's All-Star and Adidas training camps. Is it because you received excellent and advanced basketball coaching after arriving in the United States that you got such an opportunity?"

    Indeed!

    This condescending tone, this topic Zhang Hao was not angry. He thought quickly and replied: "The United States is the country with the highest level of basketball in the world. I am very grateful to our school's coach, Mr. Scott Collins, for inviting me to join. His  Guidance is very important to me. I was spotted by Mr. Collins through a game. He thought that I was more talented than the American students he led. I was honored. I played well in a high school in the United States and was selected for California.  First team and third team All-American.¡±

    Zhang Hao¡¯s answer surprised this reporter who obviously had an unfriendly attitude. He was young, his answer was neither humble nor arrogant, nor was he irritated, which was unexpected.

    It¡¯s a normal situation for most young people.

    It¡¯s rare to be able to counterattack effectively without getting angry.

    After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States had to find an imaginary enemy in order to divert domestic conflicts. Regardless of whether the other party was willing or not, China was regarded as the number one candidate to threaten U.S. hegemony.

 Chapter 15 15. The unnamed Philadelphia high school student in the corner (please vote for recommendation)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    This reporter from the bleachers was originally prepared to follow the current mainstream attitude of the American media towards everything in China, and just belittle it in any aspect. If Zhang Hao reacted violently, there would be more content to write.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s reaction was very calm. The reporter in the bleachers was very experienced in interviewing and knew that he could not anger Zhang Hao. Moreover, he did not know more about Zhang Hao, so the subsequent interview suddenly became very harmonious.

    "Who is the player you most want to play against in this training camp?"

    "Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Mike Bibby, and Richard Hamilton."

    "Hamilton?"

    "Yes, his style is very similar to mine, both are running catchers and shooters."

    "You said you are a shooter? I think you should be an athletic forward. You are the dunk king among high school students."

    "Actually, I don't really like dunking in games. Shooting is my strength. I just went to the dunk contest and won the championship because I was not in a good mood."

    At this point, the reporter finally remembered another topic about the Chinese high school student in front of him - good grades and high player rankings, but no full scholarship from the university, so he asked: "The reason why you are in a bad mood is because  Are you having trouble applying for college?"

    "This is not important. I scored close to 1,400 on the SAT last year. It's very easy to go to college."

    ""

    Co-author or a top student?  The reporter ended the interview here. He failed to anger Zhang Hao. There wasn't much to hype about a training camp, but the reporter still found one thing that could be used.

    Reporters are always afraid that the world will not be in chaos and they cannot attack Zhang Hao and China, so attacking American universities is equally interesting!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao ended the interview and came to the reporting place. He arrived relatively late. It was a coincidence that the Adidas staff had not gotten off work yet, otherwise they would have had to wait until the afternoon.

    After successfully completing the reporting procedures, Zhang Hao received the room card and headed to the nearby Four Seasons Hotel.

    When he arrived at the hotel lobby, Zhang Hao saw the road signs. The restaurant was booked by Adidas. High school students participating in the training camp could eat breakfast, lunch and dinner for free with their room cards. Lunch time was from 11:30 to 1:00.  30 points.

    When he arrived on the 5th floor, his room number was No. 8.

    By coincidence, Zhang Hao saw two high school students who were very familiar to him he knew each other very well, walking out of No. 7 on the 5th floor next door.

    Kobe and Hamilton!

    These two people share a room.

    Take the initiative to get to know each other first!  Zhang Hao greeted the two of them: "Hello, I am Zhang Hao, my English name is Aix, I am from China, I am a senior at Inglewood High School."

    Kobe responded: "Hello, I am Kobe Bryant, a senior at Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia. This is Richard Hamilton from Coldwell High School in Pennsylvania. My most difficult opponent. I know  You, you defeated Vince Carter to become the high school slam dunk king. I must compete with you when I have the opportunity. I am excited about the thought of participating in training camp with you."

    A little surprised!  Zhang Hao originally thought that Kobe would be the noble and cool one, and Hamilton would be the one to answer the question, but the situation turned out to be the other way around. Hamilton shouldn't be called cold, but "scared of strangers"?  Kobe, on the other hand, was not so cold, and his words and sentences were quite polite.

    But Zhang Hao thought about it, Kobe had a prosperous family life since he was a child, and his personality was probably a competitive type, but his tutoring should be better than that of most black people.

    Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Things like the dunk contestactually I would rather compete with you in shooting. That is my strength."

    "OhI'm looking forward to it."

    After a brief chat, Zhang Hao put his things away, his luggage was already placed on another bed in the same room, and the three of them went to the restaurant to have lunch together.

    Originally, Zhang Hao thought he would be excited to see those future superstars when he arrived at the training camp, but after the actual contact, he found that he was not so excited. Instead, he became full of curiosity about these future superstars who are still high school students.

    There are more than 100 high school students, and Zhang Hao only knows a few of them.

    Although Kobe was not so cold in private, he was obviously not an enthusiastic person either. He didn't chat much with Zhang Hao, apparently just because he won the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest to be polite.

    After lunch, in the afternoon, Zhang Hao came to the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium to familiarize himself with the venue where training will be conducted for at least the next week.

    Gym, training groundseats at the stadiumMost of it was dismantled and converted into a basketball court with 8 half courts.

    The infirmary, physical therapy room, trainer's officeall are available.

    There are also some coaches¡¯ offices. Adidas has invited some well-known personal coaches to coach Chris Irving, who is very famous in the player world, to coach endurance training Gian Kawhi, who earns millions of dollars a year

    From these aspects, Zhang Hao can see the difference between this training camp and the McDonald's All-Stars. This is a training camp in the true sense, and it is a training camp that can really bring progress to the players who participate.

    After the visit, Zhang Hao came to the training ground for shooting training.

    Although the effect of the growth card has ended, training cannot be stopped just because there is no bonus. For things like technology, practice makes perfect, and if you don¡¯t make progress, you will fall back.

    Compared with dunks, this hand shot is the foundation for his future in college or street games, because in terms of ball control, he is indeed very average, and he is definitely better than ordinary people. In high school, he also occasionally organized with the ball.  Offensively, his passing awareness is still good, and his passing accuracy is also good, but if it were in a professional arena, he would never be the one in possession of the ball.

    Zhang Hao thinks that all-round players are bullshit. What he has to do now is to establish himself in the basketball world, go to college, enter the NCAA first-level league, and then make further plans.

    I practiced two sets of 100 mid-range shots. The first set made 91 shots and the second set made 94 shots.

    Zhang Hao is quite satisfied with this accuracy. He reckons that in this Adidas training camp, no one can shoot a better mid-range shot than him!  This is the top mid-range shooter at the NBA level!  Not to mention high school students, Zhang Hao is confident that few people in college can match his CIC. Although this is his only strength, CIC has become the source of his confidence.

    After two sets of shooting training, I originally wanted to practice for a while, but there were too many people coming and going and it was easy to get distracted, so Zhang Hao simply walked around.

    The more people there are, the more clearly Zhang Hao feels that there are huge differences between people. Not every player who seemed extremely talented in high school will be able to play in college, because it is easiest to be dominant in high school.  His talent is his athletic ability. His athletic ability is relatively mediocre, and he may not have looked that good in high school.

    But in fact, when it comes to college, most of the players who play well are not the ones with the best athletic talent, but the players who can endure and improve their skills.

    ? And most of the top players with the highest athletic ability in high school are stuck in relying on their own athletic ability.

    Just like during the McDonald's All-Star Game, Zhang Hao didn't see many people who were willing to train after coming to the arena. He could more or less see something - this training camp brought together most of the top high school students in the United States.  Most of the more than 100 people in the NBA have no chance to enter the NBA.

    What Zhang Hao didn't know was that there was someone who originally wanted to occupy one half of the court to practice all afternoon, and didn't care about the people coming and going. However, after watching his two sets of mid-range shooting training out of curiosity, this person felt that he had been hit hard.  , squatting in the corner and having self-doubt - why is a dunker shooting so accurate?  Is this really a high school student?

    After waiting for a long time, the 16-year-old high school student, who did not want to be named, cheered up and started practicing mid-range shooting like crazy when his roommate arrived.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 16 16. Why is everyone unhappy?  (Added update for the leader of the Starfish Alliance)

    You can search "What to do if you are too good at basketball" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    "It's true that you are here, the environment here is really goodah umare you driving without a license? Can I call the police and arrest you?" Zhang Hao looked at it and yawned while teasing.

    This is a park near the hotel, only a 5-minute drive away. There are several flower beds, some activity equipment for the elderly, two basketball courts, and a small baseball field at the end that can be used for batting.

    16-year-old Kobe rented a car and came to this park with Zhang Hao, Hamilton, and Bibby who was forcibly pulled into the park by Zhang Hao.

    Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Kobe shrugged slightly: "I disappoint you. I just got my driver's license last month."

    A driver¡¯s license is a prerequisite for high school graduation in the United States. Almost everyone takes the test after they are 16 years old. After Zhang Hao came to the United States, he also took the driver¡¯s license test when he was 16 years old.

    Hearing what Kobe said, Zhang Hao couldn't help but start spitting poison again: "What's so proud about getting a driver's license? It's like no one has one."

    "He never passed the exam." Kobe said and pointed at Hamilton, who had a black line on his face.

    Although Kobe is very mature in many aspects, such as having a strong psychological quality, he is still a 16-year-old boy who loves to play music and is a bit childish.

    They got up to train in the early morning, and everyone got acquainted with each other a little bit. However, after the four of them got acquainted, they became less polite. Then, their "nature" was exposed, and each of the four had extreme  On the quiet side, it soon became quiet and everyone was doing warm-up exercises.

    After Zhang Hao finished warming up, he started to practice mid-range shooting. It was the first time he trained so early. However, there was definitely no one to disturb the training at this time, and it was particularly comfortable. He understood why Kobe liked to get up so early to train. He was indeed very comfortable.

    However, as he practiced, he found that the other three people who had originally occupied a half of the court to practice shooting came to the sideline of the half of the court where he was training to watch. Hamilton and Hamilton on the opposite court were seven or eight meters away.  Bibi came running over to watch.

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s extremely standard shooting posture and ridiculously accurate training shots Hamilton had a question mark on his face - is this the legendary dunker with top athletic ability?  It's really like what Kobe said, the mid-range shot is so accurate!

    Not to mention Hamilton, even Bibby, who had trained with Zhang Hao before, stared blankly. After watching Zhang Hao's shooting training group, he couldn't believe it. He watched another group, and then Bibby could only admit - comparison  The last time we trained together, this guy's mid-range shot improved by another level. No, it improved by at least two levels!

    There were two groups of 100 shots. In the first group, Zhang Hao made 94 shots, and in the second group, he made 91 shots!

    Zhang Hao ignored foreign objects and entered the training state. He started to throw the ball at a small angle and then ran up to catch it and shoot. Kobe was the first to end the crowd. He was stimulated and determined to practice his mid-range shot.  Better than this guy.

    Hamilton is a little lost. Since he started playing, no one of his age has had a better mid-range shot than him, not even Kobe. He always thought that he was the most accurate mid-range shot among his peers.

    But today I saw Zhang Hao

    Although Zhang Hao is one and a half years older than Hamilton, the one and a half year age difference was quite obvious when he was a teenager, but it is more of a gap in physical development. For things like shooting, Hamilton estimates that he can't even say a year.  It's hard to reach Zhang Hao's level in half or three years!

    This is simply not the mid-range shot an 18-year-old high school student should have. It is simply too outrageous!

    But Hamilton really admired him. To be able to practice mid-range shooting to this level at this age, he estimated that Zhang Hao had no idea how hard he had trained and how much time he had spent. He couldn't help but feel admiration.

    Kobe also felt the same way, but Kobe turned this emotion into motivation - Hamilton's mid-range shot was only slightly better than him. This time, there was a guy who he couldn't compare to. He couldn't bear it. He had to  Practice like crazy!

    And Bibby really couldn't calm down. He thought of Zhang Hao's short video introducing himself in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest - he has been training basketball for two and a half years

    "It really only took this guy two and a half years to practice shooting to this level?"

    Originally, Bibby didn't take this self-introduction seriously, not because he thought it was false, but because he didn't notice it at all. But compared to a dozen days ago, Zhang Hao was only a mid-range shot better than him.  Zhang Hao had already left him far behind, which suddenly reminded him of Zhang Hao's words.

    Bibby is very sure that Zhang Hao was definitely not in bad shape during training during the McDonald's All-Stars, because he had two??I practiced with Zhang Hao in the morning, and I knew Zhang Hao's level more than ten days ago, but now that I think about it carefully, Zhang Hao's training at that time was different from others, and it seemed that there would be some adjustments from time to time.

    What kind of independent learning ability is this?  The key is that now it seems that those adjustments are effective!

    Bibby has to believe that Zhang Hao is really a trainee who has been training for two and a half years

    No, he is a basketball player who has been practicing for two and a half years. Moreover, Bibby feels that Zhang Hao may not have trained seriously at all before, and he only started to practice hard recently!

    This is simply unreasonable!

    Bibby was confused before. After the McDonald's All-Star Game, he went out of his way to check Zhang Hao's information. There weren't many things he could find. If he hadn't checked, Bibby really wouldn't have known that this guy had such outstanding athletic ability and other things.  Who is the peer with a super mid-range shot?

    Through the information found, Bibby learned that Zhang Hao had good academic performance, but encountered obstacles when applying for scholarships from NCAA Division I schools.

    As a result, Bibby sketched out what he imagined Zhang Hao to be like - a super genius who was extremely talented but "wasted" his basketball talent by focusing on studying. After being unfairly treated by the university, he began to train hard.  , and then progress rapidly

    ¡°Imagination is the most deadly thing. Bibby has already regarded Zhang Hao as the kind of person who is so talented that he is afraid of it.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s side, after practicing 5 sets of 500 shots in total, he stopped shooting training and started practicing waist and abdominal training without equipment.

    With your feet shoulder-width apart, your hips fixed, and your upper body straight, turn left and right; with your feet shoulder-width apart, hands raised, your hips fixed, tilt left and right and other simple exercises.

    Although his physical strength has always been very good, he has not done much physical training. He will undergo a physical test this morning. Physical condition will definitely be a factor in whether he can be selected for the final list.

    Even Bibby¡¯s physical condition is not bad, but his running and jumping ability is not that good. In terms of speed, strength, flexibility, etc., Bibby is definitely an outstanding high school student, and his skills are comparable to those of college students.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s skills are monotonous. Apart from running, catching and mid-range shots, he has no other strengths, so he attaches great importance to physical testing.

    But as he continued to practice, Zhang Hao suddenly discovered why their training atmosphere became even weirder?  Looking at the sky, the moon was almost full. It was only a few days before the lunar month. With such a bright moon, a sunny day, and such good weather, Zhang Hao felt that the air pressure was extremely low

    "Shouldn't training be a very happy thing for these three brothers? What's going on today?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 17 17. Geniuses (please vote for recommendation)

    But he can¡¯t win in a fight, and he¡¯s not bluffing when playing. But there is Pierce next to Zhang Hao, and he once fell into depression

    The key is that the guy in front of him is extremely aloof. He always looks down on everyone except Pierce. He likes to ignore everyone, which makes him even more unhappy.

    However, Corey Benjamin is confident now!

    At only 17 years old, he was admitted to Oregon State University as a public health major after graduating from high school and received a full basketball scholarship!  This guy, who faced obstacles when applying for college, is finally able to turn on the trolling mode!

    Corey Benjamin resisted the urge to fight. This guy's hands were extremely dark during the fight, and his body was stronger than him He was nearly 10 centimeters taller. It was safer to be a troll, and he continued:  "Akers, have you been admitted to college? I was admitted to Oregon State University and I have received a full scholarship"

    Looking at Corey Benjamin chattering next to him, Zhang Hao felt helpless. He remembered this guy mainly because he always provoked him in the game after a fight. No matter how many times he won, this guy never gave up, and this guy  The guy is old, 17 years old, looks

    Vicissitudes of life!  It seems that he has developed too hastily, with nasolabial folds, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet all present, and he looks like an uncle in his forties.

    Difficult and old, this was Zhang Hao's impression of the chattering genius high school student in front of him.

    Think about the guy a few years later who also developed too hastily and is so good at life. The guy in front of you is really just old.

    Seeing that the staff were preparing for the test and other athletes were also starting to prepare for the warm-up, Zhang Hao couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and asked: "Is there anyone going to the 131st ranked university in the United States?"

    After not speaking for a long time, when he opened his mouth, it was a knowing blow!  Corey Benjamin's young heart was stabbed hard!

    He then remembered that although the guy in front of him had encountered obstacles in his pursuit of a basketball scholarship, his cultural achievements were outstanding!  And he could have gone to UCL, but his grades were not good and the interview was rejected. If this guy didn't ask for a basketball scholarship, he could have gone to UCL casually.

    Finally, Corey Benjamin went to Oregon State University in the Pac-12, which is still an NCAA Division I school, but it is far behind UCL, a top 20 school in the world. Oregon State University is ranked only in the United States.  A hundred people away.

    Corey Benjamin felt at this moment that he was so stupid to use the matter of college to stimulate Zhang Hao.

    But he refused to admit that he was stupid, and immediately thought of another way to stimulate Zhang Hao.

    In terms of strength, Corey Benjamin is not bluffing Zhang Hao at all. He went back and forth with Zhang Hao during the game. Zhang Hao is more athletic, he is more comprehensive, he plays as a guard, and his statistics are better.

    He decided that in the next test and the next training camp, he would give this guy a hard fight!  This is the real victory!

    ¡­¡­

    After spewing venom at Corey Benjamin, no one bothered Zhang Hao. Not everyone was hostile. To be precise, it wasn't called hostility. It was just that some people felt angry because he won the dunk king.  It's normal for everyone to be unhappy when it comes to testing something that is closely related to themselves.

    First, the height, weight and other data are recorded, and then they start queuing up for physical fitness and technical tests. This large room was originally a warehouse, with 6 courts installed, as well as 40-yard and 100-yard speed tests outside.

    After the recording of static physical fitness is completed, the players take the data sheets to the various test areas and choose by themselves in order.

    Grouping is mainly required for technical testing, otherwise it will be difficult for more than 100 people to complete the test in one morning.

    Zhang Hao looked at his data sheet. When he tested his height and weight just now, he found that he had grown a little taller. Although the strength training in the recent period was not particularly large, his height and strength had increased, and his weight had also increased, and  The weight gain is more obvious than the height gain. I didn't notice it before. I turned on the subtitles and entered the basic information interface, and then I saw my latest basic information.

    "Special signed player: Zhang Hao, height 202 cm, wingspan 211 cm, weight 92 kg"

    When looking at pounds and inches, you need to convert them before you can really have an idea of ??how much they are. Zhang Hao is still a little uncomfortable with it, but he got used to it after seeing this.

    However, Zhang Hao was a little confused.

    Look at the column of your physical fitness - "Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 76, jumping 93, flexibility 95, stamina 90"

    Speed ??and flexibility, but he didn't feel any impact.

    "It should be that we haven't reached that critical point yet."??¡±

    Zhang Hao is already a qualified athlete and knows the impact of strengthening strength training and gaining weight.

    The teenagers do things in a hurry. In order to show their best physical condition, everyone rushes to take the physical fitness test. At this time, there are no other distractions. At this moment, the momentum of the teenagers is active in San Francisco.  Several dynamic physical fitness test points at the Municipal Auditorium Arena.

    Theoretically, every player participating in the training camp is working hard to prepare, but there is no guarantee of status. The two test opportunities for each test item are averaged. Some players performed very well, but  Some players did not perform as well as usual. Perhaps it was because they were too excited to start training camp today and did not fall asleep last night. Or perhaps they were simply in poor condition.

    Zhang Hao got up early in the morning and was in good condition. His performance was almost the same as usual, except that he was fast!  Among players of the same height, he is very fast. Speed ??+ physical strength are his strongest points in catching and shooting. On the contrary, in terms of running skills, he is quite average, because it is too difficult to achieve good tactical coordination in high school.  Well, it¡¯s not that the coach is incapable, but that there are no real conditions that can improve the team¡¯s playing style. Therefore, if a high school has a top 100 high school student in the United States, it can be considered a strong team. The high school league relies on stars.

    And it is also very beneficial to talented high school players. They have enough ball rights and shot rights to improve their personal abilities at this age.

    The college stage is where you really learn tactics and team play. Many NCAA championship universities cannot produce first-round picks, which proves how strong the team atmosphere of college basketball is.

    After the static and dynamic physical fitness tests, Zhang Hao returned to Training Ground No. 5 and was about to find a place to test. When he was about to find a place to test, he found that many people gathered around Odom, a super genius from New York State who was only 16 years old but 206 centimeters tall.  , not only the players from their 5 groups, but also people from other groups, Odom is conducting tests on passing and control.

    One of the top three point guards among high school students in New York State is named Lamar Odom; one of the top three shooting guards among high school students in New York State is named Lamar Odom One of the top three centers among high school students in New York State is named  Lamar Odom.

    For Odom, playing basketball is like playing games. He can do everything easily. He can switch between five positions freely. The enhanced version of Magic in high school

 Chapter 18 18. They don¡¯t seem that strong?  (Please vote for recommendation!)

    This society is very realistic. After graduating from high school, you can count as having half a foot in the society.

    During the break after lunch, Zhang Hao and Bibby went to the training ground on the other side of the stadium together, and they would gather here soon.

    Kobe and Hamilton went to training after lunch, and they were not afraid of stomach problems. Both of them were stimulated by Zhang Hao this morning. Kobe was stimulated twice. Now he only has one thought - training!  Crazy training!

    On Bibby's side, he has despaired of surpassing Zhang Hao in the mid-range shot - a basketball genius who has trained for two and a half years has trained the mid-range shot to this level. He feels that his shooting is not Zhang Hao's at all.  opponent.

    This actually gave Bibby a sense of normalcy.

    When I arrived at the stadium, I saw the test scores of the 108 high school students who participated in the training camp posted by the staff.

    Each 10-point test score is marked with a different color.

    Zhang Hao found his name, No. 99, the fourth from the bottom, which is quite easy to find.

    "5 points for passing and controllingI also got 5 points for passing and controlling? Oh, by the way, this is the evaluation of high school students, 10 points for shooting, 10 points for athletic ability, 9 points for static physical fitness, and 4 points for technique"

    Basically in line with Zhang Hao's own expectations, his shooting and running and jumping abilities are top-notch, his body shape is not bad, and he is good enough at the forward position in high school.

    However, Zhang Hao saw that his performance was not outstanding. Almost every player has 1-2 aspects that are at the top level among high school basketball players. After all, this is among the most talented 100 high school basketball players in the United States.  108.

    And among all the names, there is one person who stands out the most - Kevin Garnett!

    ¡°Pentagon player?¡±

    Zhang Hao looked at Garnett's exaggerated test results, and this adjective suddenly came to his mind, and he knew that Garnett was super defensive, which means that this test cannot test defense, otherwise Garnett would definitely be a hexagonal player.  .

    It¡¯s just¡­ ¡°Garnett¡¯s shot was 10 points?¡±

    Zhang Hao saw Garnett testing the mid-range shot when he was wandering around before. He felt that Garnett's mid-range shot was about the same as the mid-range shot before he used the growth card!  In terms of three-pointers, Garnett is not good.

    Looking at his own shooting score, it was also a perfect 10 points Zhang Hao knew that three-pointers were not taken seriously these days, but he still felt a little strange in his heart.

    In addition to Garnett, there are several players with outstanding test scores. Kobe has 9 points in addition to technical skills and 4 10 points. Jamison has 9 points in addition to athletic ability and 7 points in static physical condition. The other three are all  10 points. In addition to Odom's 6 points in shooting, the other four items are 10 points

    Most of the high school geniuses have excellent athletic ability, such as Garnett, Kobe, Odom, Raheem etc. The athletic ability of genius high school students is all 10 points. Jamison also has 9 points, but there is also one  As a special case, Bibby's athletic ability is 5 points, and his static physical fitness is 7 points, but his technique, shooting, and passing and control are all 10 points.

    Through the published test results, Zhang Hao has a certain understanding of the talented high school students participating in this training camp. They have much better athletic ability, but they are good at shooting. Except for the few he noticed, most of the players  It would be great if his shooting could reach Odom's level.

    At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, a trainer came to announce the latest grouping situation.

    This time, the training was divided into groups based not on rankings, but on the test results of the players.

    Zhang Hao was assigned to the shooting group. There were not many people in this group. As Zhang Hao saw from the published test results, there were many people in the group that strengthened technical training and strengthened the use of physical conditions, especially those who strengthened their physical training.  Grouping of utilization of physical conditions.

    There are only 9 people in Zhang Hao's group. Bibby, Kobe, Garnett and others are not in this group. In this group, Zhang Hao is only familiar with Hamilton and Corey Benjamin. Some of the others he knows or have spoken to.  But they are all unfamiliar.

    Kobe was assigned to the technical group. He did not get perfect marks in this area. He is similar to Jamison. He also practiced everything in high school, but his proficiency is not as good as Jamison. His basic skills in this area need to be strengthened.

    Garnett was placed in the inside group, while Bibby was practicing pick-and-roll passing.

    The first training session started at 4 p.m., and everyone was treated equally. No one was given preferential treatment. The training intensity was far more intense than when these high school students were in school.

    That afternoon, three players were dismissed.

    Even among the top 100 black high school students in the United States who are extremely talented in sports, there are still some people who maintain the habits they have grown up with since childhood - why do I have to be so tired?  Why sit when you can lie down?  Why work when you can get free food?

    Zhang Hao had beforeI learned about last year's training camp from Pierce, but Pierce made the final list. He only talked about how professional the training camp was, how complete the facilities were, and how powerful the opponents were He didn't mention the most cruel aspect of the training camp at all.  On the one hand - everything depends on ability. The test results will be announced as soon as you come up. If you can't complete the designated training, you will be dismissed.

    Because this is not a training camp that costs money to participate in, but a training camp similar to a "draft", where 90 people are eliminated to select the final 18-man roster for the elite competition!

    Suddenly the elimination system started. Although no one from Zhang Hao's group was eliminated, he was caught off guard and felt uneasy

    But on the second day, he found that his treatment was somewhat different.

    Starting today, other players will adjust their shooting movements under the guidance of the trainer. In a training session yesterday afternoon, the training goal for each player was 500 shots. It doesn't matter whether the shots are accurate or not. Everyone is not very good.  Poor, the players specially selected for intensive shooting training are at least the players who scored 8 points in shooting. The purpose of yesterday's training session was to allow the trainers and shooting coaches to observe the shooting movements and basic skills of these 9 players in the shooting group.

    Today, the other eight people, including Hamilton and Corey Benjamin, are adjusting their basic shooting skills under the guidance of the trainer. As for Zhang Hao, the trainer called him away alone to teach him quick shooting skills based on the video.

    Zhang Hao was a little flattered, but he was studying hard, remembering the techniques the trainer said, and then training hard under the guidance of the trainer.

    Feeling the difference in treatment between himself and others, Zhang Hao calmed down. After calming down, he probably guessed that this was the "preferential treatment" brought to him by his performance in the mid-range shooting test. He did not receive any preferential treatment in terms of training intensity.  , However, relying on his mid-range shooting level, he can conduct more in-depth training in advance!

    During the breaks in training, Zhang Hao will also go around like others.

    For example, I went to watch the training of Kobe Bryant who went crazy after only scoring 9 points in a test, to watch Odom being scolded for being distracted during training, to watch Bibby and Marbury compete to see whose pick-and-roll breakthrough is better

    However, when the simple classification test turned into formal training, Zhang Hao, who ran out to watch from time to time, discovered a problem. At first, he thought he was a little drifting, but then he really came up with that idea¡ª¡ª  "They don't seem that strong, right?"

 Chapter 19 19. Challenge my CIC?  (asking for recommendation votes)

    "Akers, our two teams are definitely the strongest duo" Marbury, who was familiar with the team, said excitedly next to Zhang Hao.

    An off-ball shooter, Marbury likes this kind of teammate the most.

    Even though Marbury lost miserably in the one-on-one with Zhang Hao three days ago, he didn't care. He was really strong!  That mid-range shot was so strong that it made him feel ridiculous. In this regard, Marbury was really convinced!  He was convinced of the defeat. When he saw that he was assigned to the same group as Zhang Hao in the last two days of team training, he was very excited.

    It¡¯s May 14th, the fifth day of the training camp. After the afternoon training is over and a group of players are eliminated, there are only 36 players left in the training camp, and two-thirds of the players have been eliminated.

    Individual training has ended, and next is the team training stage. The 36 players were divided into 6 groups, each group has 5+1 people.

    Being assigned to a group with Marbury, Zhang Hao was in pain.

    Although the future head coach of the Beijing team is strong, he is too talkative and will never stop talking at any time. Pierce is enough for him to be talkative, but he can't stand more!

    However, there was a chatty person next to him, and Zhang Hao felt inexplicably safe, maybe he was used to it.

    While talking to Marbury, Zhang Hao observed the other four teammates who were eating at the same table.

    Zhang Hao discovered one thing from the grouping aspect - each group is composed of 5 players with relatively clear positions + 1 all-around sixth man.

    Their group is considered a relatively mediocre group. Marbury is the only NBA player in Zhang Hao's impression. The two guards are Marbury from Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, New York, and Philip Hinkie from Lausanne High School in Memphis;  The forward, he is Zhang Hao, and Isaiah Sanders from Green High School in Bartow County, Georgia; the center is a white man, Steve Jack from St. Paul High School in Santa Cruz, Minnesota; the sixth man is a man with a height of  He is a striker similar to Zhang Hao, Bunch Turner from Wakes High School in Greenville County, Mississippi.

    "Zhang Hao has never heard of these people except Marbury.

    ¡°It is not ruled out that some of these people will enter the NBA in the future, but they will definitely not be famous.

    Zhang Hao attaches great importance to the following cooperation training. The famous shooting coach Chris Irving has emphasized to him many times that players of his type rely heavily on cooperation.

    It¡¯s finally time for the final test. For team training, Zhang Hao regards it as a test to determine the final 18-man roster. Although the final game is not broadcast live, there are many scouts, and even because of Garnett, there will definitely be NBA  Scouts come to watch the game. This is the opportunity that Zhang Hao has been waiting for to increase his reputation.

    At the beginning of the training camp, he was promoted by Adidas as the "Central Shooting King", but it was just Adidas' promotion. After a few days, the fans' discussion has ended. He is far from the kind of player who can make fans watch.  A player who is talked about in private.

    Zhang Hao can fully expect that it is difficult to become famous these days. There are only a few ways to spread information. There are no public social media for people to discuss, which makes it difficult to sustain the popularity. The way of online communication is even in the United States, which is the origin of the Internet.  , and it was quite inconvenient, so he definitely couldn¡¯t miss this opportunity.

    His current goal has changed from performing well in the training camp and entering the final roster to becoming the most dazzling one, or at least one of the most dazzling ones!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    In the past five days of training, there has been a huge change in the attitude of the training camp members towards him and his own mentality.

    "Akers, we need to cooperate better in the next training. I will be a little aggrieved and practice with you more. How about it? Are you happy? A future NBA super point guard will pass the ball for you. This may lead to the elite competition.  We will become teammatesHey, why are you here?"

    Zhang Hao was listening to Marbury's nagging. Not only was he not unaccustomed to Marbury's nagging, but he was very used to it. In the past few days, no one had been nagging next to him, but he was a little uncomfortable.

    When Marbury suddenly stopped, Zhang Hao followed Marbury's line of sight and saw a fierce-looking guy coming to their table. He was obviously not passing by because he stopped.

    "King of mid-range shots? Do you dare to compete with me in mid-range shots?" Garnett was very direct and his tone was very arrogant.

    Hearing Garnett's words, Marbury next to him couldn't help curling his lips, but he didn't say anything. He just thought Garnett was so brave!

    In the past three days, a total of 20 high school students who thought they were excellent shooters came to challenge Zhang Hao. Marbury was among the first group. He lost, and so did the rest.

    Although, the most usefulHe is the only one among the group of players to challenge. People like Odom are self-aware. Raheem and Jamison are not troublemakers. Kobe, Hamilton, Bibby and others knew they could not win and did not come. Really  He is the only one who is famous for being abused, but Garnett should have at least heard of Zhang Hao's undefeated mid-range shooting game in the training camp, right?

    Of the 20 players who challenged, 12 challenged on the first day and 6 on the second day. Only two challenged yesterday and none today.

    Others have already recognized Zhang Hao¡¯s title as the mid-range shooter king. Although Garnett is great, in terms of mid-range shooting, Marbury believes that Zhang Hao is definitely much better than Garnett.

    In this situation, do you still dare to come?

    Zhang Hao also looked at Garnett in surprise.

    Marbury¡¯s joking eyes and Zhang Hao¡¯s surprised eyes made Garnett quite unhappy!

    He has indeed heard of Zhang Hao's name, but he doesn't care at all. As he aspires to the NBA, he would not have anything to do with the so-called strongest person in a high school training camp. He is completely disdainful!

    He is regarded as the top 10 pick in the draft. Except for a few people such as Kobe, Odom, Rahim, Bibby, etc., everyone else ignores him.

    But today, he was assigned to a group with Bibby and Hamilton, and then he listened to the two of them talking about how great Zhang Hao was. Although he didn't care whether Zhang Hao was great or not, Garnett wanted to have a good relationship with Bibby and joined in to chat.

    Then Bibby's big mouth caused trouble for Zhang Hao. He said, "Kevin, your and I's mid-range shots are pretty good, but with Axby, I feel like my mid-range shots are really like shit."  ".

    Originally, Bibby was just talking about himself, and his mid-range shot was actually better than Garnett's, but Garnett refused to accept it and immediately came to challenge Zhang Hao.

    He wants to end Zhang Hao¡¯s unbeaten record!

    He really feels that he is the strongest in everything, because when he was tested, he got perfect scores in all aspects. When he was training, he was treated extremely well, and almost every group of coaches would give him advice.

    Seeing Zhang Hao didn¡¯t answer, Garnett thought Zhang Hao was afraid, and there was a hint of pride in his arrogant tone: ¡°What? Don¡¯t you dare?¡±

    Zhang Hao reacted at this time, tilted his neck and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you sure?"

    Talking nonsense to others is not completely derogatory in modern society. Although Zhang Hao has figured out that he does not need to deliberately make friends with others and deal with them with a normal attitude, he also knows what kind of people he is facing and when communicating.  In what way.

    People like Garnett are eyeing you. If you are timid in front of him, he will take advantage of you and will definitely bully you.

    Facing Garnett, you have to go back hard.

    After asking a rhetorical question, Zhang Hao did not wait for the other party's response, but stood up and said: "It's true that our shots are all 10 points, but you were rated 10 points because your strength could barely get 10 points, and  I got 10 points because the highest score is only 10 points."

    Garnett¡¯s expression became distorted with anger, but he would not take action.

    "It's impossible to fight. He's not stupid. He's about to participate in the NBA draft. How about going to have a fight and let his draft prospects be affected?"

    But in fact, he is not ready to challenge. He doesn't need to challenge anyone at all. He just needs to perform well in the elite competition and win the MVP.

    He now realizes how impulsive he was when he came to challenge Zhang Hao, and he really feels regretful.

    He didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to be so tough!

 Chapter 20 20. Who is the best high school student?  (asking for recommendation votes)

    As for defeating Garnett in a shooting contest He was very excited when he first defeated Marbury, a famous player in his memory, but after being challenged, he won easily every time.  There is nothing to be excited about. Winning the mid-range shot against Garnett did not excite Zhang Hao.

    He knows that apart from his mid-range shooting and running and jumping abilities, there is a big gap between him and Garnett in other aspects, including his ball control.

    Back in the hotel room, Bibby was reading again. As a white player, he has different hobbies from most black players. His biggest hobby after playing is reading. He is preparing to earn enough credits before participating in the draft in college. He has a diploma.  And knowledge is very important. He has a complete future plan, which is not just about playing basketball. He has been playing for more than ten years. Most players only have two or three years of professional career. The future is far more than just basketball.

    Zhang Hao did not disturb Bibi, went to take a shower, lay down and prepare to go to bed early. He would have to get up early for training tomorrow morning.

    He didn¡¯t practice extra at night because someone from the next room would come and ask them to train together every morning.

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao¡¯s ability evaluation: 65

    Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 76, jumping 93, flexibility 95, stamina 90

    Shooting: 51 three-pointers, 90 mid-range shots, 86 layups

    Skills: 54 ball control, 44 passing, 86 catching and shooting"

    After looking at his ability evaluation, Zhang Hao felt a little disappointed. After the nearly month-long period of rapid improvement, his strength growth slowed down instantly. He also knew that this was normal. He had been training very hard without procrastinating.  It is completely impossible for him to make much progress in a week under normal training. His three-point shooting and passing have improved slightly, but there are basically no changes in other abilities.

    But despite these disappointments, Zhang Hao does not feel that his efforts during this period are useless!

    In the two years before participating in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest and the Adidas training camp, Zhang Hao did not encounter many strong opponents. There were only a few high school students who could match the strength of the high school students in this training camp. Now he can see a lot of them every day.  Even watching their training and watching other high school students compete in duels from time to time is an excellent learning opportunity.

    The most important thing is what he learned from the shooting coach and trainer, how to train to make his shooting better after the training camp!

    ¡­¡­

    There are many people in the training camp who are anxious every day, worried that they will be eliminated, because in the end only 18 people advanced.

    But after the initial test, some people actually had no experience with the so-called worries at all, and the training camp did not put any pressure on them.

    It¡¯s true that the training camp needs to use some things to select some players, but the most fundamental thing is the player¡¯s ability. Only capable players can make the elite game better.

    This world has never been fair.

    Relying on the NBA's top mid-range shooting ability and top running and jumping ability of 90 ability points, Zhang Hao was not affected by external pressure from the beginning. At the beginning, he had many worries because he had not realized that he was already quite good among high school students.  .

    The penultimate day of training was a team training session under the guidance of an unemployed tactical coach hired.

    From the 36 selected high school students with the strongest talents and personal abilities, a group of high school students with excellent teamwork were selected.

    As a running catcher and a pie-eating player, Zhang Hao has been doing things like team coordination on the court since coming to the United States. Because he is very talented in this area, the head coach of Inglewood High School has always done this.  They are all training him in this aspect. Although his running ability is not good, his physical strength is good. Among the remaining 36 high school students, except Hamilton, who can match Zhang Hao in this aspect, the others are far behind.

    However, for some people, the last two days were cruel. At the end of the first day of joint training, 8 people were eliminated, and the remaining 28 people were re-divided into 4 groups after the training on the afternoon of May 15th.  On the last day, 10 people will be eliminated!

    Zhang Hao had long been confident that he would not be eliminated, but there was one person who remained until now. Moreover, when he went to see his team's cooperative training, he found that the other team's cooperation was very good, unlike when he was on the high school team.  After one person took over everything, this guy was able to fight more freely.

    This dear friend no, it's a junior, the 17-year-old Corey Benjamin. Corey Benjamin, who used to find ways to provoke Zhang Hao whenever he met him, hasn't bothered him since the second day of the training camp.  Zhang Hao.

    This person is just hypocritical. When Corey Benjamin bothered Zhang Hao before, Zhang Hao found it annoying. Now that he doesn't bother him anymore, he feels a little uncomfortable.

    ?Exactly 24 hours after Zhang Hao's group was formed, it was immediately disbanded. Moreover, 4 of his teammates who had trained for a day were directly eliminated, leaving only him and Marbury Regarding this, I saw more than 70 people in the past few days.  Zhang Hao is used to being eliminated.

    Some things in the Adidas training camp are really good, maybe better than the NCAA. Players from the NCAA team leave because they are graduating or going to participate in the draft to play professional games and can no longer play college games, and if it really  What's more, when you step into the professional arena, you will definitely see your teammates leave every year due to their lack of strength or various reasonsor you may leave yourself.

    The Adidas training camp uses a daily elimination system, rather than training with all members until the end, so that high school students can experience the cruelty of society in advance.

    May 16th is the last day of the training camp. After another day of teamwork training under the guidance of the tactical coach, the week of training camp has passed like this.

    At 5:30 pm, the final 18-man roster was released!

    The 10 people eliminated for the last time received a notice after the training, telling them to go back to the hotel and have to leave tomorrow.

    And those who returned to the training ground after taking a shower and resting at 5:30 are the remaining 18 people.

    This is what Zhang Hao found out after he returned to the training ground after taking a shower, and he, without incident, was selected for the elite competition!

    Zhang Hao, Kobe, Hamilton, and Bibby were standing together. Marbury originally wanted to join in the fun, but the auras of the three people next to Zhang Hao were strong and cold. Marbury couldn't stand it anymore, and he lost all his thoughts.  Directly dodge people.

    Finally coming to the last step of the training camp, Zhang Hao was very excited. In this training camp, he really learned a lot, especially about teamwork. His previous teamwork could only rely on physical strength to run around, find opportunities to make a difference.  Fa, there is such a thing as high school competitionThanks to him having Pierce as a teammate.

    But here, for the first time, he felt what true cooperation meant.

    He now wants to know the final grouping. Tomorrow is the preparation and media day, the day after tomorrow is the game, and then it is time to announce the rosters of the two teams.

    Kobe and Bibby are also looking forward to it, but Hamilton always listens to the arrangements.

    Kobe and Bibby, who are looking forward to it, have very different ideas. Bibby will glance at Zhang Hao from time to time. He wants to form a team with Zhang Hao. Who doesn't want to partner with such an off-ball pitcher?

    And he wanted to see Zhang Hao's strength on the court from the perspective of a teammate.

    As for Kobehe doesn't want to team with Zhang Hao, nor does he want to team with Garnett!

    In this training camp, Kobe not only relied on his father to show off his baby on the show to bring him a wave of popularity at first, but later on, he was no longer the focus of the training camp.

    The strongest player is Garnett. It is said that all NBA lottery teams will send people to watch the elite game on May 18.

    The most amazing thing is Odom. As advertised by Adidas, he can rank among the top three high school students no matter what position he plays.

    The representative of the counterattack was Zhang Hao. After the team training began, Adidas made a collection of videos of Zhang Hao accepting the challenge and posted it online. Tens of thousands of people spread the word through the Internet. Even some sports newspapers reported that Zhang Hao was in CIC  He crushed Garnett in the duel and knew that Zhang Hao would be hard-pressed to lose in the mid-range shooting matchup.

    The undefeated mid-range shooting king, although he has to be labeled as a high school student, Zhang Hao's reputation has indeed improved a lot.

    The exercise ability is super strong and the China -China investment is super strong. Although it is not excellent in technology and control, a player has both sports ability and shooting, and if he is good in height, this is already very powerful.

    Kobe, despite everything he did, failed to stand out in practice.

    So, Kobe can only choose to dominate the game.

    And, he wants to fight alone!

    ""

    Marbury admires him very much. He admires Zhang Hao's courage very much.

    He really never thought about saying that he is the best. He is very good in the New York street basketball world, but in high school games, he cannot be said to be bad. But in the New York State high school basketball world, he and Lamar Odom  His reputation is far behind. The local media in New York are promoting that Odom, a 16-year-old sophomore in high school next year, may become the best high school student in the United States.

    In fact, Marbury had the mentality of a street player at the beginning and looked down on others. But on the test day, he was shocked. He felt that few people were weaker than him!  He knew that the world was far from as big as his shining street. He could brag to the sky on the street and look down on the professional people. But after seeing the strength of Garnett, who was just a quasi-nba rookie,  , he knew that any player with NBA strength might be invincible on the street.

    Marbury was a little bit shocked

    But the appearance of Zhang Hao gave Marbury a very special feeling.

    To this day, Zhang Hao said in a group interview that he was the strongest, which shocked Marbury.

    Marbury really wished he was the one who said this, but not only did he not have the courage to say it at the time, he never even thought that he would say it.

    However, Marbury said some things after turning on his chatterbox mode, which made him really worried.

    He was worried that Zhang Hao had offended Garnett and Bibby, because Zhang Hao was paired with these two, but Rahim didn't have to worry. The legendary genius who was not defeated by Garnett didn't have much fighting spirit.

    Marbury also learned about Zhang Hao's current situation in some ways in the past few days. He knew that Zhang Hao needed to rely on this elite game to overcome the obstacles of entering the NCAA Division I college basketball team. However, Zhang Hao's style of play is without the ball and requires people.  Feeding the ball, and Zhang Hao's reputation during this period is only for training and one-on-one duels. If there is no subsequent stable game, it means nothing.

    Unlike Marbury, some of the reactions from others were appreciation, while others thought Zhang Hao was arrogant

    ¡° Also worried is Zhang Hao¡¯s current temporary teammate, Corey Benjamin.

    Originally, Corey Benjamin was the one who disliked Zhang Hao the most, but now he became worried. What if Zhang Hao was isolated by Garnett and Bibby during the game, had no chance to perform, and did not enter the NCAA?

    Corey Benjamin felt like he was crazy for having such an idea!

    Thinking that the purpose of participating in the training camp was to antagonize Zhang Hao, but now his mentality has changed so much, and it is a change that he had never imagined, Corey Benjamin had an idea "I shouldn't have come to this training camp."  Breaking the training camp, why bother"

    ¡­¡­

    However, their worries were unnecessary. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Bibby and Garnett returned to the training ground one after another. Where there are people, there is a lot of trouble, and anything will spread quickly. Soon after the two returned to the training ground  Someone went and told them the last word Zhang Hao said during the interview - me.

    When Zhang Hao practiced three sets of shots and returned to the training ground where most people gathered, everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Hao, Bibby, and Garnett.

    Bibby and Garnett had already gathered their teammates during Zhang Hao's training. The atmosphere in their team was a bit subtle, while the other group was just watching the fun.

    Human beings, as long as they are divided into groups, will naturally become antagonistic.

    At this time, I saw Garnett saying to Zhang Hao who walked into the training ground: "Do you want to come and train together? Don't hold me back in tomorrow's game"

    "Don't pass the ball crookedly because your hands are slipping. If you don't have confidence, just give the ball to Mike or Chauncey."

    "You think I'm you? I won't dribble and hit my feet when I break through!"

    ""

    ""

    "Huh?" Marbury was surprised. Garnett is

    Bibby led the way, Zhang Hao and Garnett began to argue with each other again. As long as he didn't make a mistake during training and was criticized, Zhang Hao would definitely talk back.

    It seems that the two of them are very at odds with each other, but in this case, it is obvious that the trio of Bibby, Garnett, and Zhang Hao,There was no conflict over the interview!

    Corey Benjamin, who was following the leading three, was also a little confused. Is this okay?

    Rahim was relieved when he heard about it when he came back. He didn¡¯t care about it, but he also wanted to win!  If there is internal strife, it will be difficult to win. The two monsters on the opposite side, Kobe and Odom, are two years younger than them, and their strength is not inferior to them at all.

    And the two "parties" in the eyes of teammates and opponents had a very simple idea after learning about this incident - they didn't even have the confidence to think that they were the strongest, how dare they say they were the top high school students in the United States?

    Who is better has to be proven by games and performance on the court.

    And the most important thing is that they have to win!

    Among them, Garnett is the one who wants to win the most. He is predicted to have a probability of being selected in the lottery. If he loses in a high school game, in his opinion, that would be a real loss of face.  !

    "The remaining life is 402 days and the available life is 401 days."

    Every morning when I wake up, I see this subtitle. Zhang Hao really doesn¡¯t want to wake up.

    Remind him every day - you only have a little more than a year to live.

    But after washing up, Zhang Hao chose to turn it into motivation to work hard. To survive, there is nothing stronger than the motivation brought by this goal.

    ¡°Moreover, basketball is his hobby. If he can turn it into a career and keep himself alive multiple motivations will add up

    ¡°Today is another energetic day, (^o^)¡±

    ??Bibi, who had just changed clothes and was about to wash up, saw such a lively side of Zhang Hao After more than a week, he got used to it, but before seeing this side of Zhang Hao, Bibi really didn't expect that Zhang Hao would have such a side.

    In Bibby¡¯s eyes, Zhang Hao¡¯s character is too complex. Sometimes he is very social, sometimes he seems withdrawn, but there are times when he is a middle-class guy.

    Today, the two of them did not have an appointment with the Philadelphia duo next door for morning practice. There is a game in the afternoon, a peak showdown between high school geniuses!

    After washing up, the two went to the restaurant to have breakfast. The time they arrived at the restaurant happened to be 7 o'clock as agreed with their teammates. The teammates were also there and were getting their favorite breakfasts.

    But this time when their B team gathered together, Zhang Hao¡¯s subtitle prompt came!

    "The match day of the Adidas Basketball Training Camp Elite that special contracted player Zhang Hao is participating in has arrived. The player detection system has been turned on. The host can analyze the ability evaluations of Zhang Hao's teammates and opponents of Zhang Hao's team, and conclude that Zhang Hao is  Provide game advice.¡±

    finally come!

    Zhang Hao has always wanted to see how the abilities of these talented high school students are evaluated. The most important thing is the comparison of the strength of the 10 future basketball stars in his impression with him in high school.

    But at this time, another subtitle prompt came.

    ¡°The special signed player Zhang Hao will play his first game today after signing the contract. If Zhang Hao participates in the game, the host will receive a one-day lifespan reward. If he wins the game, the host will receive an additional two days of lifespan reward.

    Note: When the host coaches a game or specially signed players participate in the game, if the comprehensive conditions of the game meet the requirements, the host can receive rewards. The rewards vary depending on the game.  "

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes widened. He quickly grabbed some food and sat with his teammates. While eating, he read the new prompts again.

    ¡°You can survive by playing games!¡±

 Chapter 22 22. Rise to fame (please vote for recommendation)

    After breakfast, Zhang Hao and his teammates devoted themselves to preparations for the afternoon game.

    The first time he used the player detection system, Zhang Hao didn't get much help. First of all, after the 7-day training camp, he knew these players very well, and he already had a good understanding of the playing styles of these players in the NBA. Now  Some shadows can also be seen.

    Of course, Zhang Hao did not feel that the player detection system was useless, but it was not very effective in the competition of these high school students. The most important thing was he did not have the ability to make good use of this thing.

    For this detection system, Zhang Hao feels that it is like the most comprehensive player information database, and it is updated in real time This is the current situation. Maybe there will be some changes after becoming a player or coach in the future, but the basic situation should be that a player  Information database.

    This database is very useful for a player and a coach. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

    But to make good use of data, you need analytical skills and the ability to use data. The latter is the ability of the players

    If you want to use this database as a coach, you must have rich tactical knowledge and on-the-spot adaptability on the court

    ?????????????? He is still far away from these, he needs time to learn and accumulate experience

    At the end of the morning training, the coach of the B team and former NBA top scorer Reggie Theus, who had just retired a few years ago, called the players together and said: "Okay, everyone has worked hard. Next, take a good rest and have a full meal at noon.  Kill the guys opposite in the afternoon.

    In this game, Mike, Corey, Akers, Sharif, and Kevin, you five are starting.  "

    No one dares to be dissatisfied with the arrangement of Reggie Theus.

    It¡¯s not that he has great power, but that this player was also a well-known figure in the NBA ten years ago, but he was also a figure with a very miserable playing career.

    He averaged 23.8 points and 5.9 assists per game in the 1982-83 season and was selected as an All-Star. He was also selected as an All-Star starter. At the age of 26, he was the star of the Bulls at the time. Then, because Olajuwon wanted to participate in the draft in 1984  , Reggie Theus was sent away by the Bulls in the 1983-84 season. The Bulls directly destroyed Bo Olajuwon, and then selected Jordan. Some old Bulls fans originally criticized the Bulls management.  But just two months into Jordan's rookie season, no Bulls fans were talking about Reggie Theus anymore.

    In a 13-year career, he averaged 18.5 points and 6.3 assists per game. Such a star, at the peak of his career, was abandoned just because Olajuwon was about to participate in the draft in his senior year You can imagine how sad it is.

    "These are what Marbury told Zhang Hao. Reggie Theus' words work because of his performance in the NBA.

    Although his career has been a bit miserable, he is really good at playing basketball. The easiest thing for players to admire is someone who plays well.

    What surprised Zhang Hao was that Corey Benjamin was even more recognized among his teammates than Billups!

    When Reggie Theus arranges the starting lineup, it depends on the player's ability.

    Zhang Hao found that he had really underestimated this opponent from the same state.

    "Do you think the team of Bryant and Odom will win, or the team of Bibby and Garnett?"

    "Garnett and Bibby, they are older, but what I care about is not which team can win, I want to know which high school student is the strongest."

    "Is there anyone better than Magic? I heard that New York's Odom is even better than Magic in high school. He is not yet 16 years old! He is 206 centimeters tall, and he is as fast as a player who is 196 centimeters tall!  "

    "I watched Garnett's freshman game, and he was as good as Odom."

    "I'm more interested in Bryant. I heard he plays as gorgeous as pennies!"

    "I think Raheem is the best. I've seen him play, he's like a monster."

    ¡°That arrogant Chinese high school student?¡±

    "He is a little arrogant, but I like his confidence. If I can beat everyone in shooting, I will also say that I am the best."

    "Haha, you are right"

    A group of college students from Arizona entered the San Francisco Auditorium Arena with tickets given for buying Adidas sneakers, and enthusiastically discussed the Adidas Training Camp Classic that started at 3:30 p.m.

    There are many people like them who form groups to watch the game, and they are all discussing it heatedly. They will more or less mention Zhang Hao, a Chinese genius who has become famous in the past two or three weeks.

    If Zhang Hao heard their discussion, he would be very surprised, because most people admire him!Because it¡¯s new!

    There has never been a yellow-skinned player in the history of basketball.

    As for Zhang Hao, although he did not achieve the same fame as Kobe, Garnett, Bibby, and Raheem in his senior season, his results were real. He was the California champion and one of the two tallest high school students in California.

    This is the basis. Then his performance in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest and the Adidas training camp made a lot of publicity using him as a selling point. At least some people in California and nearby Utah, Arizona and other places have become aware of his strength.  A basic recognition.

    Who doesn¡¯t like to watch the fun?  Who doesn't like surprises?

    If those high school students who are already well-known play well, the fans who come to watch the game will of course be happy. As long as the game is good to watch, it will be enough to appreciate the performance of talented high school students who may become superstars in the future.

    However, the counterattack is even more interesting!

    "The local students in California are much more familiar with Zhang Hao. Many people came to San Francisco from Los Angeles to watch the game.

    ¡°It¡¯s such a shame that Pierce didn¡¯t participate in the Adidas training camp. It would be great to see Pierce and Akers team up to challenge all the other powerful high school students in the United States.¡±

    "Yes, yes, I have watched the game between the two of them. They are so strong. There is no other school in California that can rival them."

    "But Pierce and Akers are both too powerful. If both of them participate, Akers' limelight will be stolen by Pierce"

    "That's right, but Pierce will definitely help Akers get the limelight."

    "Yes, so I'm still very sorry, but now those universities should regret it, right? I feel like their coaches' heads are filled with seawater? California is the best No, it's the best pitcher in the country, the best dunk in the country.  General, they actually didn¡¯t let Aix join!¡±

    The Adidas training camp held in San Francisco is half of Zhang Hao's home court. Regardless of whether high school students in California have really heard of Zhang Hao before, they are now the group of people who know Zhang Hao best.

    Not to mention the students in Los Angeles, they just blow it to the sea anyway, and they talk about some things that are not there as if they have seen it with their own eyes.

    Adidas has given away the remaining game tickets in the past two days, but it is conditional. If you buy Adidas' designated sports equipment or designated sneakers and get free tickets, you can ask for free game tickets. The designated ones are not junk, but  A popular product, a clever trick of Adidas is that they only put a fixed number of free tickets in each branch Selling shoes is secondary, the main thing is to create a hot scene in the store.

    The San Francisco Municipal Auditorium has a total of 15,622 seats, of which 4,000 tickets were given to schools in San Francisco, and more than 600 tickets were given to major media, scouts, college basketball clubs, local politiciansthe remaining tickets  The 12,000 tickets placed were sold for shoes and sports equipment, and all were sold out in two days!

    Originally, as a California player, Zhang Hao had a half-home advantage in this game, but the main force of buying shoes and giving away tickets were not students, but local Chinese, overseas Chinese, Chinese, and Asians in San Francisco.  Asian.

 Chapter 23 23. Clock out at halftime?

    Such a pitcher, in the eyes of these professional scouts, only needs this one ball to see how solid Zhang Hao's basic mid-range shooting skills are!

    The players on the field also felt it. Team A immediately understood that as long as Zhang Hao was given a chance to catch the ball, they would definitely not be able to defend him!

    And this is what Bibby and Garnett want.

    These geniuses all know that their game is not the kind of game they play in the high school league. Each team in the high school league can only have one or two geniuses of their levelmost schools don't have one.  There are only a handful of them, and there are two of them, like Inglewood High School, who are invincible in the state.

    The biggest difference is defense. In high school leagues, apart from shrinking defense, they will not encounter too much defensive pressure, because the difference in physical fitness is actually very big. The biggest difference is confrontation. Ordinary high school students cannot compete with this.  A group of people compete in terms of physical fitness, but here, confrontation is only the most basic thing.

    The goal of Bibby and Garnett is to let Zhang Hao show his touch and threats, so that they can play more easily.

    However, Zhang Hao was a little depressed when he returned to defense during the transition between offense and defense. He felt that his running position was really rubbish.

    Although, if he is asked to do the work of Corey Benjamin or Raheem, he can do no worse than these two people, and the off-ball behavior of others on the field is actually not much different from his, except for Hamilton, but he is the starting tactic  As the main attacking point, his teammates are surrounding him, so he has to do better.

    "Fortunately, Garnett is there. Although this turtle has a very annoying personality, it is really comfortable to play with him as a teammate"

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t force himself to do his best immediately. Now that Garnett is here, he can take advantage of Garnett¡¯s ability, so make good use of it.

    After team B retreated to the backcourt, Marbury had quickly advanced. Although Marbury was only famous on the streets of New York at this time, he was very capable and was definitely the top high school basketball player.  After coming to Corey Benjamin's defense, a beautiful change of direction directly left Corey Benjamin behind, and the latter was passed without even reacting!

    However, although the overall singles ability of team B is weaker than that of team A, the team defense is stronger. Bibby has long expected this. Although he is taciturn and has a bad mouth, he is very focused on everything he does and has been silently observing all the training camp players.  Regarding Marbury's breakthrough, his opponent at the back line evaluated him during the team discussion as being the first breakthrough player in high school.

    After Marbury was blocked by Bibby, Zhang Hao and Garnett also cut off the baseline passing line on both sides. Marbury immediately passed it to Odom, who pulled out to receive the ball. Odom received the ball.  Breaking through like a point guard, at the same time, Kobe, who had just cut from the baseline, ran out.

    This defensive distance Zhang Hao and Garnett glanced at each other at the same time, a quick glance, and then they made up for Odom at the same time

    Odom passed the ball to Kobe who ran to the top arc. Kobe took the ball and shot a three-pointerhit!

    Zhang Hao and Garnett were so embarrassed at this moment. Their defense this time could be said to be quite successful, but in the end, all their previous successful defenses were in vain.

    "Why don't you make up for it?" The two yelled at each other at the same time.

    "I thought you would make up for it!" They said in unison again.

    "" At the same time, he was speechless.

    Although they both dislike each other, they seem to recognize each other and believe in each other's abilities

    Zhang Hao firmly believes in Garnett's ability. Garnett is the kind of top defensive core in NBA history who can support a defensive system in the future. He is an extremely strong defensive linker, has ridiculously strong defensive capabilities, and has a wide range of defense.  So I think it's better to leave the long-distance defense to Garnett.

    But Garnett is also very confident in Zhang Hao's speed. Although he is faster in explosive acceleration, Zhang Hao's fastest speed is even stronger.

    Then, such an embarrassing scene appeared.

    The key is that Garnett thought that Zhang Hao was unwilling to confront Odom, a guy who was less than 16 years old but had the body of a top high school center, so he blocked him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao was not only tough with his mouth, but also very tough in this regard.

    Garnett had a little more appreciation for Zhang Hao, but after passing the ball to Bibby and running into the frontcourt, he still kept talking: "I'm taller, and I'm mainly responsible for protecting the frame. You guard your perimeter well.  Don¡¯t hold me back!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t hold me back even if you¡¯re on the inside!¡±

    After exchanging words, the two of them reached the frontcourt and started a "tacit understanding" of running coordination. That is, Zhang Hao followed the running route that he felt was the best and ran a few random running routes that looked like shit in Garnett's eyes.  , and then Garnett finds the right moment to help Zhang Hao in the pick-and-roll, and he also needs Corey Benjamin and Rasheed.Mu's running coordination requires Bibby's passing.

    This is a treatment that can only be obtained based on Zhang Hao's convincing performance.

    The most important thing is that the attack time is 35 seconds, giving Zhang Hao enough time to move.

    Team b played very well at the beginning of the game with a tactic centered around Zhang Hao's mid-range shot!

    Team A is suppressed!

    Although Kobe's ability to fire from any position has begun to show, Marbury's breakthrough is invincible, Odom is terrifyingly versatile, Hamilton also has an excellent mid-range performance when receiving the ball, and Jamison's singles are also very powerful  ¡­

    However, team B is playing real team basketball, but team A is doing its own thing.

    This is a problem of the difference in consciousness between the core ball-handling players of the two teams. Marbury and Kobe of Team A both want to show their abilities too much and feel that everything must come from their own point of view.

    ¡°As for Bibby and Garnett of the B team, they understand that in such a game, when it comes to personal ability who is much worse than the other?

    Obviously, when the player strength is relatively balanced, the team is more important than individual ability. Even if they have a strength advantage over the opponent's players in the same position, teamwork is more important.

    This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that Marbury and Kobe quickly understood this problem and began to try to change it, but in what way?  imitate each other

    Because they have never experienced it and are not as prepared as Team B, their first reaction is to learn how the other team plays.

    Then, at 13 minutes and 58 seconds of the first half, team b was already leading team a by 12 points, 28-16!

    Team A called their first half timeout, a 200-second timeout!

    The fans at the scene cheered wildly!

    Team b violently suppressed team a!

    Team A strongly wanted to show their abilities, which was good at first, but as the game progressed, the talented high school students of Team A, who deliberately wanted to show their multi-faceted abilities, played poorly.

    On the other hand, on the B team, Bibby and Garnett did not deliberately show anything, but as they played, Bibby's ability to seize opportunities to shoot and seize the opportunity to pass was demonstrated. Necessary singles  It has also been shown, and it has also avoided the general shortcomings of its own organizational awareness.

    Although Garnett only had 2 points, his statistics of 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks were quite impressive. He did not deliberately show his support in the high post, but he seized the opportunity to distribute the ball in the high post.  .

    ???Moreover, when exerting an overall advantage on the defensive end, Garnett has a strong sense of presence!  This is an ability that no one else has.

    Although Corey Benjamin feels that he still hates Zhang Hao and wants to compete with Zhang Hao, he has a reason to help Zhang Hao - if this guy can't get into college, how can he compete with this guy in the future?

    Rahim has never had any desire to fight, he wants to win more.

    If you want to show himself, you want to show himself, Team B is only Zhang Hao, but he is really accurate!  He scored 14 of the 28 points!

    This is the difference!

 Chapter 24 24. Fairy ball VS invincible mid-range shot

    After the timeout, team B attacks. Bibby immediately wants to rely on himself after receiving the ball in the frontcourt. He makes a breakthrough step + a long step back and takes a two-point shot

    The move was beautiful, but it didn¡¯t go in!

    "These damn physical monsters!"

    Bibby retreated quickly. In this game, he was tortured by two overly strong opponents, Kobe and Hamilton. Thinking of so many scouts watching, Bibby felt that his future was affected!

    Just when Bibby was feeling anxious, Zhang Hao, a new force who just came on the field, stole the ball from the advancing Odom and threw it to Kobe, who was leaning on him on the left side of the three-second zone!

    The ball was swatted away by Zhang Hao. Bibby quickly grabbed the ball. At this time, Zhang Hao jumped directly towards the frontcourt.

    Odom retreated quickly and immediately followed Zhang Hao. Bibby seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Zhang Hao when Zhang Hao rushed into the three-point line. Zhang Hao caught the ball and racked it, and accelerated again.  , before Odom's attack, he accelerated and passed Odom, and performed a two-step chop!

    Seeing this scene, Bibby couldn't help but let out an "oh" sound, and the fans at the scene also let out deafening cheers!

    This ball, the dunk itself is not beautiful, but at the moment when Zhang Hao grabbed Odom and pressed forward, he wanted to explode back but had no energy left, he went straight to the basket to complete the split dunk.

    This time, it is not only difficult, but also highly enjoyable to watch!

    Many fans kept shouting "Slam Dunk King" at this moment.

    Bibby¡¯s mood immediately improved a lot, and this mood is still amplifying!

    "It doesn't matter whether he has a good future or not. Losing will affect his future even more. Just fight hard!"

    Bibby and running back Zhang Hao high-fived and celebrated, focusing on defense.

    Although Kobe has become unstoppable after playing his best, there are reasons why Kobe plays better, and there are also reasons why other people's physical strength has begun to decline. Kobe has played for so long but has no impact at all But the more this is the case, they must play better.  The better!

    Trying his best, Bibby doesn¡¯t want to leave any regrets in this last important game of high school!

    Originally, Bibby had no intention of competing with Kobe in terms of personal performance. He wanted to show the characteristics of his team players, but he was brought into that emotion by Kobe's unique temperament.

    When his confidence returned, Bibby's thinking suddenly became clear, and he immediately realized the problems he had had before.

    Team A chased points so fiercely. In addition to Team A playing well in the second half, Team B also had problems of their own. Of course, the problem was caused by Team A.

    Dunking is the most morale-boosting way to score. Zhang Hao¡¯s teammates also experienced the same situation as Bibby, that is, their positive emotions were strengthened!

    And this Zhang Hao knows why!

    "Bronze Medal: Dunk Master, the effect is triggered. In the next three rounds, the enthusiasm of the players on the host's team will be greatly improved."

    In the first half, the effect of this medal was exerted once. At that time, the effect was not obvious, because the team's enthusiasm and emotions were very high at that time. Now, at this critical juncture, the effect of this medal was truly demonstrated!

    Positive emotions and high morale cannot make those who don¡¯t know what they know how to do, but they can make it easier for those who know how to perform better!

    When the players of Team A came back to attack in the frontcourt, they found that the opponent seemed to have changed something, and it could be seen from their eyes!

    Obviously, the "invincible mid-range shooting king" came on the court and used a beautiful counterattack to catch the ball and dunk, which reversed the team's declining morale!

    "Morale is high? Then I will suppress you again!"

    Kobe is also very motivated!

    Team A attacked. Marbury advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and had a severe headache. When Zhang Hao came back, he was affected the most!

    Zhang Hao and Garnett, one is covering the outside and the other is covering the inside. Zhang Hao's outside defense is actually average, but he can at least defend against the opponent's pitcher's catch and shoot. If the outside is blocked, the best way is definitely  Cutting inside, which is the key to defense, Garnett showed the strongest defense among all high school basketball players in the United States.

    Also, both Zhang Hao and Garnett are here, which greatly limits Marbury's sudden scoring. This is really the most professional assist defense that cuts off passing routes that Marbury has faced so far in basketball.  No experience in dealing with it.

    At this time, Kobe took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Marbury did not push it. He immediately gave it to Kobe, who had performed best in the past period. After all, Marbury only played a supporting role in the second half.

    Kobe Bryant received the ball and rushed inside. He faced Zhang Hao who came up from the outside and turned around.Facing Garnett's one-on-three layup from behind in the paint

    When Kobe took the shot, he almost certainly couldn't see the basket, but he threw the ball in!

    The powerful waist and abdominal strength and the incredible feel the fairy ball!

    Generally speaking, this ball can easily undermine the confidence of defensive players. This is not Kobe's first magic ball in this game. There was actually one in the first half, and the third in the second half. That time in the first half, b  The team was playing very intensely and was not greatly affected. However, in the second half, team A was chasing points like crazy, and team B was severely hit by Kobe's first two magic goals.

    It was because of this that Bibby came up with the idea of ??"Is there such a big gap between me and a 16-year-old high school student?"

    But this time, Garnett yelled as he ran forward: "Don't worry, that kid is just lucky. I don't believe he is so lucky every time. Don't worry, attack slowly and adjust the rhythm."  Press it down"

    When Kobe was playing, the thing that made his opponents despair the most was this magic ball. In high school, he often relied on such attacks to lead his mediocre teammates to win the Pennsylvania High School Basketball League championship. He also personally broke through in his senior year.  Chamberlain holds many records in Pennsylvania. His father, Joe Bryant, went on TV to brag about how great his son was when he had nothing to do. It was not just bragging. It was because of Kobe's outstanding performance that Kobe was able to have the same status at the age of 16.  Garnett's attention is almost the same.

    He often destroys the opponent's confidence when the game is anxious. Tonight when they were chasing points, his key singles also played a similar role.

    This is his powerful ability that often led the weak Lower Merion High School to win in high school games, but this time, Kobe did not feel the slightest hint of discouragement from the opponent!

    When team B attacks, team B calmly uses Bibby and Garnett's pick-and-roll pass. Garnett passes to Corey Benjamin, and Corey Benjamin passes to Bibby and Garnett to contain the defense.  Zhang Hao got rid of Hamilton and hit a jumper from the left side of the free throw line!

    Even Corey Benjamin was not impatient and calmly passed the ball to Zhang Hao in this attack!

    Regarding Zhang Hao¡¯s mid-range shooting ability, when faced with the pursuit of these high school opponents, he runs to catch and shoot. As long as he catches the ball, he has a high probability of making it, because the defense really can¡¯t keep up.

    It¡¯s not that he can still make casual shots after being interfered with in place, but it¡¯s difficult for the opponent to really interfere with it. He has a lot of room for adjustment. After adjustment, it will be difficult for the opponent¡¯s defensive experience and defensive habits to truly interfere effectively!

    Originally he couldn't do it, but his shooting accuracy has improved to the top level of the NBA. These things have become simple.

    Some time ago, Zhang Hao was training every day. Due to his personal playing style, Zhang Hao was the main coach in shooting, and he is currently in good condition!

    Being suppressed by a pure shooter who barely held the ball was the first time in his life that Kobe had encountered such a thing, and this situation made his fighting spirit even higher.

    For a moment, the scene changed to Team B creating mid-range shooting opportunities for Zhang Hao. Team A tried their best to open up space for Kobe Bryant to play in isolation, and they also worked hard to shoot after receiving the ball.

    What is the purpose of the competition?  Of course to win.

    How can we win?  It's simple, score more points than your opponent.

    How to score?  Shoot!

    Zhang Hao has far underestimated the power of his NBA top edge Even if he is a top edge, he is actually the power of NBA top level mid-range shooters in high school games!

    He always thought that it was the team that drove him to play better, but in fact, it was his teammates who played better around his super shooting ability. It was he who used his shooting to drive the team's offense!

    His teammates regarded him as a life-saving straw when he returned to the field, which is proof!

    However, they have given the opponent too many opportunities. Team A is already in good shape, but there is nothing they can do about it. Team B does not have the ability to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

    Now, the situation has entered a stalemate stage, and it depends on which side's morale collapses first.

    Kobe has now entered a mode similar to a poisonous snake with fangs spread out, bringing a strong sense of oppression to his opponents, because he not only looks strong, but is really strong!

 Chapter 25 25. Everything has just begun!  (asking for recommendation votes)

    "I just said, I want to be on the same team with you. Only by being on the same team with you can I win. Aix, you are so awesome" Marbury turned on the talkative mode again, and inadvertently offended someone next to him.  A petty 16-year-old high school student.

    "Although I am not your opponent yet, you have to be careful. I am 1 year younger than you. I will catch up with you soon!" This is Hamilton.

    ¡°I also want to try what it¡¯s like to play ball with you¡± This is Jamison.

    "Too bad, you dunked on my head while I wasn't paying attention"

    Hearing other people¡¯s words, Zhang Hao was fine, but when he heard Odom¡¯s words, Zhang Hao was speechless.

    In that dunk, he even looked at Odom before he rushed in and took off. Who knew that the guy would be distracted the next second, and he was already prepared to miss the dunk.

    Zhang Hao conquered not only his teammates in this game, but his opponents also recognized his strength. Moreover, this time it was Zhang Hao's strength in the game that was recognized!

    In their opinion, Zhang Hao¡¯s strength is at the level of a professional player!

    It is true that Zhang Hao has many flaws, which have nothing to do with versatility, but with such height, athletic ability, and shooting ability, the combination of these three is already the strongest in the eyes of other players!

    Of course, there are also people who don¡¯t think so. Some people firmly believe that they are the strongest.

    The Adidas training camp brings together this group of teenagers who can represent the Pan-96 generation.

    After the depression of losing, the 18 players from the two teams gathered together, hugged and took photos

    Perhaps, after today, many of them will never be seen again.

    The older they get, the more they know how difficult it is to become a professional player. Except for a few people, most people have no clear plans for what the future will be like and what they want to do.

    After a while, after the post-match exchanges between the players, the head of Adidas Pacific came to the court, and it was time to present the awards.

    There is no bonus. Each member of the winning team has a trophy, and everyone has a certificate from the Adidas training camp. Although it has no effect, before Adidas expanded the elite competition, 18 people could get the certificate every year, which is still worth it.  This group of high school students collect this certificate. If they don't do well in the NCAA and fail to enter the professional league in the end, this certificate will be one of the most precious memories in their basketball career.

    In addition to these two, there is another most important award tonight!

    Kobe, who scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, had no chance to win this award, nor did Odom, who had 11 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, nor did Hamilton, who scored 18 points

    This is a separate trophy that only the best player of the winning team has a chance to win - the most valuable player of the game!

    After the opening remarkswhich were actually soft advertisements, the person in charge of Adidas prepared to present the award: "Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful game. I hope this training camp can have a positive impact on your basketball career."  to help.

    ??OKok, I know you can¡¯t wait. I announce that the Most Valuable Player of this Adidas Training Camp Classic is Ax Zhang from Inglewood High School in Los Angeles!  "

    Zhang Hao, who scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, beat Garnett, who had 14 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, to become the MVP of this Adidas Training Camp Classic!

    There is not much suspense, Garnett performed very well, but everyone can see who their team relies on to win the game.

    There was no so-called commercial reason for the game itself. It was given to the one with the best performance. And considering the commercial reasons, the training camp held in San Francisco, California, should have been given to Zhang Hao. At least half of the fans at the scene bought shoes.  The reason why I get free tickets when I buy equipment is because of Zhang Hao!

    ¡°There is nothing Garnett can do about this. He has the intention, but in this situation, he is powerless

    This time he really accepted it!

    The 1995 Adidas Training Camp Classic, which lasted for 1 hour and 12 minutes and 40 minutes of game time, came to an end with Zhang Hao enjoying the cheers of the fans at the scene

    ¡­¡­

    "Congratulations, Akers, you won the mvp. You also won the event held by McDonald's. Which one do you think is better for high school students' activities organized by Adidas or McDonald's?"

    "I have only participated in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest, and I don't know much about other competitions. They must be very good. I have experienced the entire Adidas training camp. It is very professional. I have learned a lot. I think it will be helpful for my summer training."  Important help.¡±

    "You have proven with your actual actions that you are the strongest high school student, but I heard?, but many people also have the same feeling.

    Although it didn¡¯t last long, we trained together, advanced together, and played the highest level game in today¡¯s high school world together. This friendship is rare and worth remembering.

    ¡°It¡¯s not just that, there may be many of us who won¡¯t even have the chance to meet each other in the future.¡± Bibi said this quietly.

    Zhang Hao heard what his roommate said and knew that Bibby was right. These days, the only means of remote communication are landline calls and letters, and the Internet is not very convenient. However, he heard another meaning in Bibby's words - this  That's why I don't want to have a good relationship with other people.

    Yes, that's it, because many people may only come into contact with each other once in a lifetime, and may not meet again in the next ten or eight years, or even a second time in a lifetime, so for Bibby, there is no need to interact with other people.  People have too much communication. People are emotional creatures. If you make a good friend and then don't see him for many years, if you happen to have a really good relationship with this friend, it will actually produce negative emotions.

    Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily, maybe we will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

    There are 10 people here who are future NBA stars in Zhang Hao¡¯s impression. The situation is completely different from making friends in ordinary games, right?

    Bibby looked at Zhang Hao, gave a rare smile, and said: "If it were you, we might fight against each other in the universities Now those universities won't be blind anymore, right?"

    Bibby is really happy that Zhang Hao played well this time. It's a pity that he is a teammate in this elite tournament. However, with Zhang Hao's strength, Bibby believes that Zhang Hao will soon become a star of an NCAA team.

    But Zhang Hao shook his head at this time: "NCAA? That's just a process In college, we may not have the opportunity to meet. I think our goals should be the same as Kevin's."

    As soon as these words came out, everyone¡¯s attention was focused on Zhang Hao.

    Isn¡¯t what Zhang Hao just said exactly their dream?

    If it¡¯s the same as Garnett, it¡¯s to enter the NBA, the highest stage of basketball!

    When others say this, they may think they are too arrogant. Every year so many talents enter the NCAA, and every year the NCAA has so many basketball players participate in the draft, but now, only more than 50 people can be selected in the draft every year.

    After reaching the top of high school, they realized how strong those who were stronger were. Although they were all geniuses with strong self-confidence, their talents were exaggerated compared to those of Garnett, Kobe, and Odom.  Compared to guys

    But when Zhang Hao said these words, everyone thought it was normal.

    During the training camp, they had experienced Zhang Hao's admirable confidence.

    ? ?Everyone begins to look forward to the scene of their name being called during the draft.

    Garnett rarely criticized Zhang Hao, but smiled and said: "I'm waiting for you in the NBA."

    Zhang Hao looked at Garnett, smiled, and responded: "Goodbye NBA!"

 Chapter 26 26. I want to bring my talent to the NBA (please vote for recommendation)

    "For others, it is necessary to practice in the NCAA, but for you, if you play in the NCAA for a few years, your progress may not be as great as in the NBA.

    The NCAA will not develop tactics around a running shooter, but you have gone through the stage of polishing your mid-range shooter. If the tactics are not centered around your mid-range shooter, in my opinion, it is a waste of your time.

    ¡°In the NBA, there may be an opportunity to build a strategy around a pitcher

    This is just my opinion, I know it's crazy, but I have faith in you.

    "But I can't help you make a decision. Please think about it. I have a flight tomorrow afternoon and I will be at school tomorrow morning. You can come to me at any time"

    Hearing what coach Scott Collins said, Zhang Hao, whose thoughts were already confused, began to think clearly.

    When he first saw the draft application form, the thought that came to his mind was not where he would be more suitable, but - Hey, I want to participate in the draft as a high school student?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??You can now choose a college at will. As long as you choose target 1, you'll get a gift pack directly.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out???

    ??And the average career lifespan of an NBA second-round pick is just over a year!

    Not only second-round picks, but first-round picks also have a career lifespan of more than two years and less than three years.

    A high school student participates in the draft

    But after hearing coach Scott Collins¡¯s analysis, Zhang Hao felt that the coach was not impulsive, but had really considered the suggestions given to him based on his current strength, playing style characteristics and other aspects.

    Also, Zhang Hao seemed to sense a sentiment from Scott Collins - dissatisfaction with those universities.

    Zhang Hao feels the same emotion!

    He has been struggling these days. Although he has three very good options, the University of Southern California, the University of Kansas, and Stanford University, he still can't make a decision because he is holding back a fire.

    He also has a temper. When he is not qualified to express his dissatisfaction, he will be patient.

    But now he has gone from being ignored to being the one who can make a choice, and that emotion keeps coming.

    It¡¯s just that he still has to go to a university, so he can¡¯t be exposed, but his dissatisfaction has already increased

    After putting away the draft application form, Zhang Hao returned to the training ground and left the arena with April Clark, who was helping the team manager pack her things, and prepared to return to the apartment.

    Go back to the apartment to take a rest, the two of them and Pierce are going to have dinner together tonight.

    We get together as often as we can. Pierce is planning to go to his second brother¡¯s place for training in a while. April Clark also has to prepare for the art exam and has already signed up for a training class.

    The three of them who live in the same apartment are famous figures in school sports. They live together and have similar reputations in the school, so they are naturally good friends.

    But the time we can still get together is becoming less and less.

    When Zhang Hao learned that April Clark decided to apply for an art major, she knew that April Clark had given up her dream of becoming a professional tennis player and instead continued her mother¡¯s dream of becoming a drama actor.

    This made Zhang Hao understand how difficult it is to become a professional athlete!

    When it was time for dinner, both friends could see that Zhang Hao was worried.

    "Akers, are you still wondering where to go? Didn't the University of Kansas also invite you? Continue to be my teammate" At this point, Pierce suddenly looked at April Clark, and his tone suddenly increased:  "Hey, Ax, you don't want to go to USC"

    But when it came to this, Pierce suddenly felt a touch of 'warmth' again. Zhang Hao did not directly choose to follow the girl and was still hesitating, which meant that his friend still had weight, at least he was not overwhelmed by the girl.

    Based on Pierce's logic, April Clark is also a good friend, and Zhang Hao did not choose Niu just because he was a good friend + Niu, which means that his friend status is higher than that of April Clark!

    Zhang Hao glanced at the two of them. He really couldn't make a decision happilyor in other words, he needed motivation or resistance to make a choice.

    He decided to be more direct and asked: "I decided to directly participate in the NBA draft. What do you think?"

    As soon as these words came out, the rather relaxed atmosphere of the dinner immediately solidified because the problem of Zhang Hao getting a college basketball scholarship was solved.

    Neither of the two friends expected that Zhang Hao was actually struggling with this!

    "Akers, this is not a good idea, the high school draft, this?Originally, the scene was quiet because there were no professional people to maintain the continuous mess.

    They originally predicted that Zhang Hao wanted to be in the limelight and hold a press conference to announce where he was going. They were all discussing how to write some news that would make Zhang Hao look embarrassed. This kind of news is best sold for money.

    Sure enough, Zhang Hao really said something that made the spotlight, but it was something that reporters from more than a dozen media outlets did not expect at all.

    This Chinese high school student, who has just become famous, actually skipped the college stage and announced that he would directly participate in the NBA draft!

    At this time, a female reporter, perhaps out of kindness or wanting to dig up more news, reminded: "Akers, if you sign up for the NBA draft, you will lose the opportunity to participate in college sports!"

    "I have already considered this matter, and I am very aware of the NCAA's regulations, but I don't think I will regret the decision I made."

    As Zhang Hao spoke, he suddenly had an idea and said, "I want to bring my talent to the NBA!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 27 27. I want them to regret it!

    He performed poorly in two high school games, and at least his athleticism and shooting talent gave him a decent draft ranking. Most of the doubts and negative comments were due to skipping college. Zhang Hao's mentality  becoming steady.

    On the domestic side, the media reported that an international high school student in the United States skipped college to participate in the NBA draft, and that multiple teams were interested in him. They also reported again on Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in the McDonald¡¯s Dunk Contest and Adidas training camp.  The domestic sports circle caused an uproar!

    Previously, Xinhua News Agency reported that Zhang Hao won the slam dunk contest, but the title was McDonald's High School Students Slam Dunk Contest Champion. Not many people paid attention. In the perception of domestic fans in this era, how good can high school students players be?

    The same is true for the Adidas training camp after that, but there are second-round quotations in the NBA draft, which is very different!

    In 1992, the Big Three of the Dream Team, the Magic Birds, brought the NBA to the world and triggered a basketball craze in the country. It was the golden age of the outside world in China. Song Tao, the famous basketball player and the number one player in Asia, was still drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in 1986.  Selected in the third round of the draft, it was a pity that Song Tao faded out of basketball due to injuries in 1988. Domestic fans are looking forward to a Chinese player entering the NBA.

    But in recent years, some Chinese players have gone to the NBA for trial training, and the feedback they received was not good. In the end, no one tried to participate in the draft. The national team dominates Asia, but when it plays against strong European and American teams, the gap is very big.  Over the past few years, domestic fans have been doubting whether Chinese players can enter the NBA.

    Therefore, in the future, when Wang Zhizhi is "sanctioned" by the National Basketball Association, although there will be constant scolding, there will also be many people who are dissatisfied; therefore, there will be a sensation caused by Yao Ming becoming the number one pick and the real basketball craze.

    No one expected that after 8 years, a Chinese player would suddenly appear to participate in the NBA draft. Not to mention that the market was good, he was still an 18-year-old high school student!

    " Regarding foreign affairs, the channels for Chinese people to obtain information are actually very limited, so we can give those so-called public intellectuals the opportunity to promote some fantasy-like things.

    This time, some public figures began to jump out and make some strange arguments.

    In short, Zhang Hao suddenly became popular in the domestic sports circle!

    Many people want to know what is going on and Zhang Hao¡¯s information. However, not to mention ordinary people, few professionals in the sports industry in China know Zhang Hao¡¯s information, so they all have to check it out.

    At this time, the NBA took the initiative to provide Zhang Hao¡¯s information to the domestic media

    Does the domestic media not want to get Zhang Hao¡¯s detailed information quickly?

    Of course not, it¡¯s because in the domestic sports world, Zhang Hao is like someone who jumped out of a rock. As soon as he came out, he was about to enter the world¡¯s highest level basketball league in the United States. There really wasn¡¯t much information available.

    Although Lan Xie doesn¡¯t know why, there is a group of people wandering around, secretly or overtly trying to prevent the media from reporting on Zhang Hao. Some people buy it, but there are still some who don¡¯t. Since one family doesn¡¯t buy it, this  Things can't be suppressed.

    Many young media people don¡¯t know what the Blue Association is thinking and why they want to ¡°suppress the news.¡± However, older media people can guess the magical brain circuits of domestic officials at once.

    It¡¯s just that they really have nothing to report right now.

    ¡°And there are not many domestic media outlets with overseas news channels. Most overseas news relies on forwarding. The number of media outlets with permanent overseas offices can be counted on two hands.

    Among these unfaithful media outlets, there is a super boss - Xinhua News Agency Sports News Department.

    Will they care about the Blue Association?  In addition to being the country's official media organization, they are also statutory news regulatory agencies.

    But, they couldn¡¯t contact Zhang Hao again!

    After the previous slam dunk contest, some young people in the Xinhua News Agency Sports News Department wanted to use Zhang Hao as a breakthrough to produce a long report on the basic analysis of the American basketball industry and explore American basketball. However, a group of young people in their 30s,  No one has any right to speak. This matter will just end like this.

    Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao has been causing trouble all the time. He also caused trouble when he participated in the Adidas training camp. When he was about to choose a university, he started making trouble again The old people at the top of Xinhua News Agency also began to pay attention to Zhang Hao and finally prepared to report well.  But it was just like when Xu Jicheng went to find Zhang Hao and couldn't find him.

    As a result, the NBA sent the information to their headquarters

    After repeatedly confirming that the information was authentic and that there would be no oolong incident, Xinhua News Agency opened a special show for Zhang Hao!  The cover of "Global" weekly, a subsidiary of Xinhua News Agency, is a scene from Zhang Hao's previous dunk contest!

    Big Brother starts reporting on ?You have a clear plan for your career. I also think that your shooting no longer needs to be improved through the NCAA. Playing in the NBA is more suitable for you to continue to strengthen your mid-range shooting skills, but you are still young and still have a lot of time.  To perfect your technique"

    When the logo man said these words, not only Zhang Hao looked at him in surprise, the Lakers head coach and the other two management personnel did not expect the logo man to give such a high evaluation to Zhang Hao.

    There is no need to go through the NCAA to improve the mid-range shot This evaluation is really high.

    Realizing that he had talked too much, the logo man quickly ended the paragraph and asked: "Okay, we have no questions about the trial training. Now we only have a personal question of mine. Can you answer it?"

    Although he didn¡¯t know why, Zhang Hao still nodded and said, ¡°Of course, please tell me.¡±

    At this time, the logo man showed the expression of a melon-eater and asked: "I remember when you participated in the dunk contest, you said that you wanted to enter the NCAA first-level league school through such a competition. What made you get it so quickly?  Changed?"

    Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment, then answered: "Before I decided to participate in the NBA draft, I had been working hard to get the NCAA Division I schools to recognize my abilities, and I did it.

    It¡¯s just that I worked hard to get them to recognize me. I didn¡¯t want to join them. I just wanted them to regret why they rejected my scholarship application in the first place.  "

 Chapter 28 28. If we choose a high school student, he will be laughed at!  (asking for recommendation votes)

    Zhang Hao was taken for physical testing by the Lakers assistant coach.

    Seeing Zhang Hao being taken away and seeing the logo man leaving with the young master, Silver Fox Harris and Kupchak were quite puzzled.

    Originally, the interview was supposed to be conducted between the two of them and the scouting director, Young Master, but the logo man actually came.

    Because generally speaking, after they screen them, they let the general manager see the trial performance of the rookies they like.

    Come on, come on, and completely dominate the interview. All the questions that were supposed to be asked were not asked. The logo man decided the outcome of the interview alone, and directly gave Zhang Hao the opportunity to conduct follow-up trial training alone.

    However, neither of them have any objections. Except for Jerry Buss, the owner, the other management members of this team, including Jenny Buss, the most capable among the ladies and gentlemen, can check and balance the logo man in terms of power.

    But Jenny Buss just loves to fight for power, but will not affect the player operation of the logo man. Jenny Buss is only responsible for business matters, and professional matters are left to professional people.

    So in terms of the draft, if there is a candidate for the logo man, even Jenny Buss will not question it, so although they were puzzled, they did not interrupt. Even if they had doubts, they would wait until they asked in private.

    Also, Zhang Hao is very energetic!  This made Silver Fox Harris quite appreciate it.

    Zhang Hao first had his height, weight, arm span, etc. measured, and then warmed up with the help of the trainer an extremely complicated warm-up!

    It took Zhang Hao a full hour to warm up!

    He never thought that warm-up needs could be so complicated and detailed. The warm-up instructions at the Adidas training camp were already very professional in his opinion, but the NBA team allowed him to see what true professionalism is.

    After adjusting the physical condition, the exercise ability was tested.

    Kupchak came to the training ground when Zhang Hao¡¯s physical test was about to end, and got Zhang Hao¡¯s physical test data immediately.

    Through the physical test data, Kupchak can see that Zhang Hao's physical fitness is very good. His speed is at the top of the same height, his jumping is top-notch, his strength is weak but he is only 18 years old.  The starting speed under confrontation is pretty good

    Except for running and jumping ability, in other aspects, Zhang Hao and Kupchak¡¯s impressions of Asian basketball players are not much different. Taken together, they are also first-class compared to black basketball players.

    Initially, Zhang Hao was spotted by coach Scott Collins because of his athletic ability. He participated in the slam dunk contest because he wanted to show this talent to the NCAA team. Unexpectedly, he was spotted by the logo man first.

    However, if this is the case, Zhang Hao is not so outstanding that he will not be favored by the logo man. Players participating in the draft are most indispensable for men with physical fitness. Maybe Zhang Hao's physical fitness is very good enough for him to be selected by NBA teams.  Fancy, but not enough in an era when high school prospects are viewed as unreliable.

    ??The next technical test of Zhang Hao was mainly a mid-range shooting test, which attracted many people from the Lakers to watch.

    How accurate is the mid-range shooting of the legendary "high school student mid-range shooting king"?

    Soon, they found out.

    Zhang Hao made all three of the five mid-range shots from the free throw line, including 9 and 7 from the left baseline and right baseline respectively!

    46 out of 50!

    ? 5 groups of 10 running catches and shots in each group, Zhang Hao made a total of 42 shots!

    ¡­¡­

    The trial training ended faster than Zhang Hao expected. The other party didn't have as many points to examine him as he thought. It was just to test his strengths.

    Athletic ability and mid-range shooting, there are many tests on these two points.

    Three-pointers, layups, breakthroughs with the ball, passing and other tests are all relatively simple and will be over after one set.

    Since he did not consider the Lakers as his first choice, Zhang Hao had a very relaxed attitude during the trial training, and his shooting performance was more stable than expected.

    Then, Zhang Hao was informed that the trial training was over

    Zhang Hao found two friends in the rest area of ??the arena who were watching the 1987 Finals video of the Lakers defeating the Celtics. They did not expect that Zhang Hao would end the trial training so quickly.

    Pierce immediately asked: "Akers, how is the situation?"

    Both Pierce and April Clark hope that Zhang Hao can be selected by the Lakers. Most California basketball fans like the Lakers.

    "have no idea."

    The trial training process was simpler than Zhang Hao imagined, and he really didn't know whether the other party liked him.

    ? ?He doesn't seem that special, and he can clearly see that although some teams are curious to invite him to the training camp, they actually don't value him. They may even look down on him even more because he participated in the draft as a high school student  ¡­

    This situation is very different from what Zhang Hao imagined after preparing to participate in the draft, creating a huge sense of gap

    After he participated in the draft, he came up with the idea that he was the "chosen son" and thought that he would definitely shock the world by going to trial training.

    Indeed, no matter which team he trials with, his mid-range shooting ability is the best among the same group of trial players.

    But he clearly felt that most teams would only use the standard of selecting a second-round pick to see if they should select him as a mid-range shooter role player who plays without the ball.

    He also thought about someone who had nothing to do to provoke him, and then he slapped him in the face But in fact, he found that most of the rookies who were training everywhere were like him. They were numb from training and had no idea what their fate would be.  How come, I have no idea whether I will be selected in the draft.

    Compared with those who are popular in the lottery, the top ten picks, and the top picks, they are indeed inconspicuous.

    Compared with the high spirits when he went out to participate in the trial training, and the confusion and hesitation when he returned to his apartment in Inglewood City, Zhang Hao didn't know what else to do. He returned to the apartment and sat for a while. Pierce had already gone to San Diego in early June, and his brother was in  Over there, April Clark also went to training for the art exam, and she couldn't find anyone to talk to.

    At this time, Zhang Hao felt inconvenient again

    Not many people have mobile phones these days, and landlines cannot be used anytime and anywhere, let alone a convenient communication tool like WeChat.

    Ever since, Zhang Hao came to the arena and wanted to talk to coach Scott Collins.

    Well, only then did he know that coach Scott Collins had resigned

    "I'm a fool! You tricked me into participating in the draft, and now no one can find me?"

    Zhang Hao slandered and then smiled. He still made the decision. Now that he has bravely taken this step, whether it is a cliff or a road to success, it is his own path. Can he blame others?

    But the coach ran away, and the arena was still the same arena. Zhang Hao began to practice shooting from the free throw line. No matter what the result was, his skills could not fall behind.

    In the past period of time when he was confused and hesitant, the only thing he found comfort in was training.

    Originally, after the effect of the growth card ended, he felt the boringness of training, but after this wave of trial training, he also got a benefit, that is, he was used to boring, boring, and at least he had a goal. During several trial trainings,  I feel confused and hesitant, I really feel helpless

    When Zhang Hao, who felt dazed and helpless, relied on training to divert his attention, the management of two teams had small internal disputes because of him.

 Chapter 29 29. The eve of the draft (4K please vote for recommendation)

    What can a person do if he is determined?

    Lost 12 pounds in 25 days!

    Zhang Hao looked at the ruthless man in front of him who had obviously lost a small amount of weight, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - he is indeed a big boss who survived more than a dozen stabs.

    10 pounds!  The pork is so big!  It was actually reduced by force.

    Too cruel!

    Regardless of whether it will affect his health, Zhang Hao looked at Pierce and felt that Pierce was more energetic.

    "Haha, what's wrong, are you shocked? I just said, I want to lose weight, and I can lose weight in minutes. This is just the beginning. You go to the NBA and wait. When I come to the NBA, the two of us will  Let¡¯s lead the Lakers to win the championship together¡­¡±

    Pierce opened his mouth, and all the fierceness Zhang Hao had felt from him suddenly dissipated.

    The words are still that one 

    Seeing Pierce, Zhang Hao's mood improved a lot. The confused future made him have a bad time in the past few days. He always thought about what to do if he lost the election. The key is to watch his life span decrease day by day.

    "Akers, when are we going to New York? This is my first time going to Madison Square Garden, which is the holy land of basketball"

    Facing Pierce, who was in chatterbox mode again, Zhang Hao ignored all the nonsense and answered directly: "The flight will be at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

    ""

    Today is June 25th. Zhang Hao¡¯s remaining life span is 367 days. The day after tomorrow is the day of the draft.

    He felt that it was quite a coincidence, as if the day of the draft would be a new chapter, it happened to return to 365 days, the remaining life span when he had just merged his memories.

    But how this new chapter will develop, he has no way of predicting.

    "However, he has thought clearly in the past few days. He is confused and confused, and hesitant is hesitant. But time will still pass day by day, and he has already reached this point. The next draft will be whatever it is.

    At this time, Zhang Hao finally understood what "a major decision in life" is.

    It is true that the decision was a bit hasty at the time, but now that the decision has been made and we have been on this road, there is no turning back.

    What he has to do now is to wait until the results come out and then consider the future based on the results. There is no use regretting the original decision. He can only hope that the results will make him not regret it.

    What can make him feel the slightest comfort is that no matter how confused and hesitant he is during the process, he goes all out every time he participates in the draft. No matter whether the trial team values ??him or not, he goes all out.

    Next, just go to New York and wait to be selected.

    ¡­¡­

    The 1994-95 season that just ended is quite a legendary season in the eyes of fans.

    First, Jordan is back!

    ??????????? Then, Jordan was pummeled by pennies.

    Then, Olajuwon led the sixth-ranked team in the Western Conference and counterattacked all the way to the Finals. There was no home field advantage throughout the process, but he swept O'Neal in the Finals and completed two consecutive championships.

    This championship directly established Olajuwon's status in the top ten in history.

    After the finals, the draft and the following free market have become the focus of fans.

    The first thing is definitely the draft.

    Joe Smith, Antonio McDyess, Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudemire, Jerry Stackhouse the quality of this year's draft is still quite high, although Duncan is missing  , but also a pretty good draft year.

    The ownership of these players is currently the focus of fans.

    And when it comes to the draft, the high school rookies who were once very popular during the playoffs are not mentioned much.

    In the eyes of fans, high school students participating in the draft are just a gimmick. Not many people think that they can directly adapt to NBA-level competition, because many high school talents cannot even adapt to the college league, and the gap is too big.

    Garnett, Zhang Hao and others are just "topics"; but those geniuses who came out of universities are the "hot topics"!

    Even for Garnett, who is so famous, some teams have said, "I'm stupid to use lottery picks to select him."

    On June 26, the day before the draft, the sports media gathered in New York, and the top young basketball talents in the United States and the world also gathered in New York.

    Zhang Hao and Pierce came to the Big Apple City together, found a cheap hotel, opened a standard room, and made do with it.

    These days, we are not as rich as the NBA in the future.While that's good, it's hard to trade for a top-10 pick.

    ¡°In this case, just listen to Pierce¡¯s chatter quietly.

    Just as the two were walking towards the exit of the arena, Zhang Hao suddenly heard someone saying his name.

    "Look, is it that Xiao Zhang"

    Zhang Hao had never heard anyone call him this name before. The key was that it was Mandarin. He immediately turned his head and saw several Chinese faces, one of whom he had met once, Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Jicheng.

    The person who said his name was not Xu Jicheng, but an older middle-aged man next to him.

    "Akers, are you calling me?"

    "Yes, journalists from our country."

    Zhang Hao explained and led Pierce to greet the people who were walking towards them.

    This time it was Xu Jicheng who spoke first: "Aix, I finally found you. It's so difficult to see you"

    Zhang Hao heard a strong sense of resentment from the tone of Xu Jicheng, an old man.

    Before Zhang Hao could reply, Xu Jicheng introduced enthusiastically: "Mr. Jiang, your eyes are so good. I didn't even see Xiao Zhang. You saw it at a glance. You are right. This is our country's talented basketball high school student Zhang Hao.  The English name is AixAix, this is Mr. Jiang Xiaoyu, the chief editor of the Sports News Department of Xinhua News Agency.

    This is the chief editor of the basketball newsroom of Chaoting Sports Station

    Who is this¡­¡­

    (Changing to English) Akers, I remember the guy next to you is Paul Pierce, a talented high school student from California, right? Hello, we are from China"

    Through Xu Jicheng¡¯s introduction, Zhang Hao met some leaders of the two major domestic media giants.

    I also learned that in the past period of time, domestic reporters have been trying to find ways to collect information about him.

    Pierce is quite used to being interviewed, he is a high school star player.

    Domestic sports fans are very concerned about a Chinese high school student participating in the NBA draft, as well as the market situation from the end of the first round to the middle of the second round.

    And unlike here in the United States, it has been more than a month since Zhang Hao announced his participation in the draft, and the popularity in China has not diminished at all!

    Although the country has gradually begun to reappear in many aspects, various problems caused by factors such as "the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds" and "there is nothing to do when you are full", what the Chinese people are currently lacking more is confidence.

    And to what extent do Chinese people need confidence?

    Whenever a country is not good enough in any aspect, it feels like its own country is still very bad.

    "Military, you have to compare with the United States; romance, you have to compare with France; rigor, you have to compare with Germany; hygiene, you have to compare with Japan I want to compare with the best in everything.

    Sports, in this regard, Chinese people naturally hope that their country will be strong in all aspects. Basketball has a wide audience in the country. After so many years, a domestic basketball player finally has the opportunity to appear on the NBA stage. This has triggered a strong basketball craze in the country.  .

    However, there are no news breaking news in China!

    Some media went to the Lan Xie to see if there was any information there, but were asked by the Lan Xie not to report on Zhang Hao However, under the leadership of Xinhua News Agency, not many media paid attention to Lan Xie's bizarre request.

    Since there is no news in the country, we will go to the United States to cover it. However, first of all, there are not many domestic media outlets that have obtained the permission of the United States to cover it. The Soviet Union has fallen. Due to multiple reasons, our country has become the biggest imaginary enemy of the United States.

    Secondly, due to some reasons, they failed to get Zhang Hao's contact information from the NBA. Every time the NBA headquarters sent a message saying which team Zhang Hao was going to try out, they just arrived there and Zhang Hao had already finished.  Trial training went to the next city.

    It¡¯s like this every time, every time it¡¯s a day or two different.

    The more times they did it, the more they understood that the NBA just wanted them to report on draft workouts that they hardly covered in previous years.

    Not to mention draft workouts, mainstream media like them rarely even cover the draft.

    But the situation is different now. If Zhang Hao really entered the NBA, they had planned to gradually increase their coverage of the NBA around Zhang Hao, so it would be okay to be a little early.

    Everybody gets what they need.

 Chapter 30 30. Cut off the beard!  (asking for recommendation votes)

    Therefore, after the draft trials of each team, the NBA headquarters gave the Chinese media a special area during the draft and gave them benefits. When the draft comes tomorrow, which player does the Imperial TV and Xinhua News Agency want to interview?  They will cooperate fully and will definitely bring people there. Whichever team they want to interview, that team will definitely cooperate fully.

    Of course, the information Xu Jicheng revealed to Zhang Hao was that they had been looking for Zhang Hao for a long time. They didn¡¯t say anything else. The only thing they said was that the league officials valued this draft of his.

    Zhang Hao is already experienced in dealing with reporters. During the previous trial training, there were only a few reporters at each stop.

    However, Zhang Hao was still surprised when the two current domestic media giants came together. Based on what he learned, he speculated that so many teams invited him to try out, in addition to his personal performance in the slam dunk contest and the Adidas training camp.  , could it be more because he is a Chinese player?

    Although I don¡¯t know how much positive impact this condition will have on his draft selection, he must have enjoyed the benefits.

    Originally, because of the age, Zhang Hao didn't feel that he could get any benefits because he was a Chinese player. The NBA overseas market was still untapped these days and he couldn't enjoy the benefits brought by the market, but now it seems that he should also enjoy some benefits.  .

    The editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief left after meeting with Zhang Hao. They came today to discuss cooperation with NBA officials. After the negotiation, they visited the work area arranged by the league for them and happened to meet Zhang Hao.  .

    And those ¡°officials¡± who were originally scheduled to interview Zhang Hao tomorrow would not come forward in person.

    In China, the person in charge of a sub-district office has official authority

    Zhang Hao is lucky about this. Athletes like them usually come into contact with the media because they come into contact with those people working on the front line. It is best not to have any relationship with those officials. It is not good to be enemies, but it is actually good to be friends.  It¡¯s not good either, it¡¯s better not to know him.

    "Akers, this is the phone number of my office in the United States. In addition to reporting on your draft, we are here to establish our first office in New York to cooperate with the NBA. This is my phone number in China.  ¡­¡±

    Xu Jicheng is really exhausted these days. He was the first to report on Zhang Hao. Later, Zhang Hao became popular. Officials in the sports news department of Xinhua News Agency thought that he had a way to contact Sun Ce, but he really couldn't.  Once again, I didn¡¯t leave any contact information. There aren¡¯t many ways to contact someone these days¡­

    This time Zhang Hao also gave Xu Jicheng the address of his apartment and the landlady¡¯s public phone number, and will update it if there are any changes in the future.

    Although the interview was scheduled for tomorrow, I met him now, and Xu Jicheng also did an interview by the way in order to add some material to his new book.

    Xu Jicheng mainly asked Zhang Hao why he came to the United States to study in high school, his previous basketball experience, etc.

    Zhang Hao also answered concisely, without revealing too much about his family. He said that his father liked basketball. After participating in an unofficial youth basketball game, he was spotted by the coach of Inglewood High School and came to  These things in America.

    Later, we naturally talked about tomorrow¡¯s draft.

    "As a high school student participating in the draft, I learned during the interview that some teams have the idea of ????drafting you, but they think that you are still a high school student and the risk is too great. This should also be a risk for you. You  Do you think you can be selected tomorrow?¡±

    This problem is the dilemma Zhang Hao is currently facing. Indeed, participating in the draft for high school students is a risk, both for the team and for him personally, and it is a huge risk.

    "I am very confident in myself, but I can't control how they choose. I can only say that I am ready to step onto the NBA court"

    The impromptu interview ended quickly. Xu Jicheng added a paragraph in the special chapter "Chasing NBA Dreams" in his "NBA 50 Years Book": He is not overly modest like domestic athletes, full of confidence, but also  Very polite

    Domestic reporters came to interview. This is just a small episode for Zhang Hao and will not have any impact on his draft tomorrow. Although he feels that he should have enjoyed some benefits of being a Chinese player, the Chinese market is not good for NBA teams at this time.  The impact is very small, so small that most teams don't care at all and are willing to give him a trial training opportunity, and that's it.

    The night before the draft went by calmly, nothing special happened, just like when Zhang Hao was training for the draft.

    The next morning, Zhang Hao woke up early and saw the subtitle prompt that there were 365 days left to live flashing by. He knew that a new day had begun.

    Tonight¡¯s draft?The experience he experienced during the team's trial training was actually similar to Zhang Hao's, both because his status as a high school player was not taken seriously from the beginning. Sometimes, no matter how good he performed, those teams would have a lot of concerns about his performance.  Turning a blind eye, let alone a player like Zhang Hao who plays without the ball?

    No, not only the fans and team management, but also other players who participated in the draft felt that the Timberwolves were crazy for choosing him.

    Zhang Hao looked at Garnett's leaving figure. At this moment, he deeply felt the envy that emerged from him.

    What else can be done?  At this moment, he could do nothing but wait to be slapped

    On the other side, the draft scene, the 76ers draft office.

    John Lucas looked at the Stackhouse selected by his team, which was pretty good, but he still couldn't forget the high school student who was too good at mid-range shooting.

    Fortunately, their boss kept his word this time and got back a second-round pick with the second overall pick. John Lucas hopes that Zhang Hao will not be selected before then.

    In the Lakers draft office, I watched the Grizzlies select Bryant Levis with the sixth pick, and the Raptors selected Damon Stoudemire with the seventh pick The man with the logo looked at the 11th pick.  The order is getting closer and closer, and a smile has appeared on the corner of his mouth.

    He also hopes to be scolded at first, and then everyone will praise Zhang Hao for playing well and making a comeback

    ¡°Moreover, there was a team in front of me that drafted a high school student. At least he wouldn¡¯t have been scolded so badly by Los Angeles fans when he drafted Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s mid-range shot is instantaneous. The logo man¡¯s sharp eyes can tell that Zhang Hao is one of the best mid-range shooters in the NBA. Even if he only has mid-range shot, he will be very useful, and Zhang Hao is only 18 years old!  The athletic ability is so good.

    The key point is that Zhang Hao has that mid-range shot. He has such a mid-range shot at the age of 18. Develop other skills around the mid-range shot It is much easier to cultivate a comprehensive scoring method for a player who plays without the ball than to cultivate a core player.

    Immediately afterwards, the Trail Blazers, with the No. 8 pick, selected Sean Lespert.

    One step closer to the 11th pick, the logo man reached an agreement with the Bucks who wanted a forward scorer. The Bucks helped him select Zhang Hao, and he traded for Ceballos after the selection.

    Although the Bucks also feel that the logo man is crazy, if they can take advantage, they will naturally take advantage of it, and they are quite impatient, wishing they could pick someone right away.

    After another 3 minutes, David Stern came to the stage again.

    After another wave of boos, David Stern opened the envelope with a smile on his face He was stunned for a moment, then smiled even more, and even suppressed the feeling of laughter. If you listen carefully, you can hear what he said next.  There was irrepressible excitement in his tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 1995 NBA draft, the New Jersey Nets selected with the 9th overall pick in the first round, an international high school student from China, Inglewood, Los Angeles.  The talented forward in high school, zh¨¡ngh¨¡o"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 31 31. So wise but almost a demon (5K votes requested)

    David Stern read out Zhang Hao¡¯s name loudly, using the same sound. Hearing that it was another high school student, the scene was once again in an uproar!

    When Garnett was selected with the 5th overall pick, the scene was already shocked once, and now it¡¯s happening again!

    Another high school student!

    Not to mention the situation at the scene, in the draft office, the logo man couldn't help but curse, and the Nets actually intercepted Hu with the 9th pick!  Go crazy!

    He finally understood why the Nets refused when they were negotiating a deal. He thought they didn't want the same type of Ceballos because they had Almon Gilliam, but it turned out they had the same idea as him!

    He thought that even if a team wanted to take a gamble and select Zhang Hao, it would most likely be in the middle of the first round, around 16-20 picks. He thought that the 11th pick he had obtained could not be more stable.

    This can all be intercepted!

    Fortunately for the logo man, the Bucks are going to vomit blood. After they received the offer from the logo man, they no longer paid much attention to who they would choose with this first-round pick. Although I don¡¯t know what the logo man thought, but in  In their opinion, Zhang Hao is a high school talent who is expected to have a big jump in the first and middle rounds of the first round. He can definitely win the 11th pick, and use the 11th pick to get a borderline All-Star like Ceballos who is in his prime.  The star made a lot of money.

    The current market situation of Zhang Hao is like Jermaine O'Neal next year.

    Who knew the Nets would come out to join in the fun!

    Kupchak didn¡¯t expect this situation to happen at all. He was stunned. He looked at the logo man and asked: "Jerry, what should I do? Do you still want to trade?"

    This Mickey Mouse usually seems very smart, but why is he so slow to react when something big happens?

    Shaking his head: "Inform the Bucks to cancel the tradecompensate them and tell them that Michael Finley from the University of Wisconsin is very goodbut I guess they won't choose it. They don't have this vision. Ignore them, just tell them."  .¡±

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The logo man was also dumbfounded by the current situation. After calming down for a while, the logo man began to calculate what might happen.

    A few minutes later, the logo man¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Seeing the look on the logo man's face, Kupchak, who had just been hung up by the Bucks, knew that the other side had another plan.

    Kupchak asked: "Are we going to make a trade offer to the Nets?"

    "Of course, but I think they will refuse. The head coach of the Nets seems to be their previous scouting director, right? That guy loves gambling."

    "Yes, he helped the Nets select many good players in the first round in the past few years." Kupchak did not ask why he proposed a trade when he knew the other party would refuse. This must be part of the logo man's plan.

    ¡°That¡¯s fine, just quote the price first, and they will take the initiative to come to us when they want to trade in the future.¡±

    "Will the kid not be able to play well when he gets to the Nets?"

    "No, that kid will definitely excel when he goes to the Nets. Their point guard is Kenny Anderson. He has averaged more than 9 assists per game for two consecutive years. He is good at cooperating with players who are fast and can shoot."

    "Then why?" Kupchak really couldn't understand the logo man's operation.

    Kupchak is also a very talented manager with excellent business capabilities, but when compared with the logo man, he always feels that his IQ is suppressed.

    "With a good point guard and an athletic and talented shooter, in the Eastern Conference, you have to win!"

    ¡°Winningcould it be said¡±

    "You guessed it right Mitch. The talented center from Wake Forest University can be used again. I think the intensity of promoting him before is not enough. All teams with low hopes for the playoffs must compete for him.  .

    It¡¯s the kind of attraction that makes you so excited to think about that guy entering the draft that you eliminate all factors that affect his performance.

    It just so happens that guy has such strength.

    As long as this child can be beaten out, the sooner he is beaten out, the closer he will be to us

    Mickey, I leave this to you.  "

    Kupchak now fully understands the logo man's strategy. Thinking of the logo man's miraculous operating ability, Kupchak mourned for the Nets At the same time, he felt that the logo man was really terrible.

    A huge miscalculation, and he suddenly thought of a way to use it.

    It¡¯s true that the Nets grabbed someone, but they were regarded by the logo man as an ¡°inspection agency¡±, asking the Nets to help test Zhang Hao, help train Zhang Hao, and finally pick the peaches!

    Two things come to mindHe was going to be selected by the Lakers, but he didn¡¯t expect to be selected with the 9th overall pick. It should be better to cooperate with Anderson than with Van Exel"

    Pierce started to worry again and entered chatterbox mode again. Zhang Hao responded at every turn.

    He also felt that it was time to find an agent, but no one has contacted him, mainly because there was no way to contact him. Even reporters from Xinhua News Agency could not contact him

    He is not like Garnett, who continued to be popular throughout his senior year of high school. He is just one of the 100 or so best high school students in all 50 states in the United States. His popularity started with the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest.

    But now that I have been selected, I guess as long as we recruit people, there will be a lot of phone calls soon.

    There is no rush for this moment, and he is unlikely to come up and demand 100 million like Glenn Robinson and Kidd. After these two people got into trouble in 1994, the NBA stipulated the salary of rookie contracts. Although  The rules are not perfect, but there will not be the situation like in 1994 when the No. 1 pick was offered $68 million in 10 years, the No. 2 pick was $60 million in nine years, and the No. 2 pick was only willing to sign a 1-year contract. The rookie year was not completed before the contract was renewed in advance, starting from the second year.  It¡¯s a weird situation to get a five-year, $34 million contract.

    It is said that these brothers made Pippen so angry that he had insomnia every day.

    After the draft, Zhang Hao had already met with Nets general manager Bobby Marx and head coach Butch Baird. They sent a car to help Zhang Hao and Pierce pick up their luggage and exchange for a hotel. They made an appointment to meet after breakfast tomorrow morning.  Then have a formal meeting.

    He plans to study why the Nets selected him slowly in the future. He is now reassured that the Nets are unlikely to trade him. He believes that if he is selected with this pick, the Nets will sell him if they want to trade him.  Can't fall off

    Anyway, just like Pierce said, you can become a millionaire in an instant!

    Last summer, both labor and management took a step back. The maximum annual salary of a rookie contract was limited, but the guaranteed contract rules were also set. Although it was not perfect, it ensured that rookies selected in the first round could get at least a three-year guaranteed contract. Zhang Hao was very excited.  .

    What we have to consider now is not money. The salary is guaranteed. What we have to consider now is how to live until old age and death.

    You have to live first, otherwise no matter how much money you have, it will be useless!

    As soon as I thought about it, there was a subtitle prompt.

    He was confused by the Nets before and didn¡¯t go to see it immediately. Now he has to take a closer look.

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao was selected with the 9th overall pick in the first round of the 1995 NBA Draft. The mission: talent ownership has been completed.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 gold gift pack.  "

 Chapter 32 32. Learning mode (please vote for recommendation)

    Gift pack!

    What¡¯s in here?

    Zhang Hao was very curious. He had received a bronze medal before. In the medal interface, he saw that there were also silver medals and gold medals, but those two columns were empty.

    Gift packs, before gold gift packs there were silver gift packs and bronze gift packs I don¡¯t know if there will be more advanced gift packs in the future, but at present, gold gift packs are definitely better than bronze or silver gift packs.

    At the beginning, what Zhang Hao was looking forward to was just to turn the bronze gift package into a silver gift package, that is, to enter the first round. However, people always tend to imagine things too well, so there was confusion and hesitation later But there was no such thing.  I thought that I finally made it into the top ten and got this golden gift package.

    Thinking about opening the gift bag, the subtitle prompt came.

    "The host has opened the gold gift package. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Solo Rider (Golden Medal), Movement Master (Tactics Manual), and Top Static Confrontation (Growth Card)."

    Reward Zhang Hao picked up the book that suddenly appeared on his lap. The cover clearly read "Movement Master".

    "It's really a tactical manual! I am"

    At this moment, ten thousand alpacas ran past Zhang Hao¡¯s mind

    At this time, Pierce came to Zhang Hao's side, took the book in Zhang Hao's hand, and flipped through it

    "Akers, when did you buy a movement learning book? But this one is very suitable for you, I won't use it." Pierce flipped through it casually and put it back in Zhang Hao's hand.

    Zhang Hao really wants to complain to Pierce - this is my reward for becoming a top ten pick, do you believe it?

    Resisting the urge to complain, Zhang Hao thought, and the subtitles appeared again. Zhang Hao wanted to see the other two rewards (??????)???!

    "Ride Alone (Gold Medal): When the player is wearing the fast break, if he is closer to the opponent's basket than all teammates, the speed +5; when the player is wearing the fast break, if he is closer to the opponent's basket than everyone else on the field  , speed +10."

    It¡¯s simple and crude, but it feels so awesome just by looking at it!

    "My speed is 90. If I start a fast break alone and am positioned further outside than everyone else, wouldn't my speed reach 100?"

    "No, if we want to trigger the maximum bonus, we have to bear the situation of 4 defense and 5 defense after the opponent grabs the offensive rebound. Although it is very awesome, we still have to proceed with caution"

    No matter what you say, this medal is awesome!

    Compared with the morale improvement after completing a beautiful dunk with the "Dunk Master" medal, this is a more direct help!

    ¡°Top static confrontation (growth card):

    The host uses the top static confrontation (growth card) on the contracted player. When the player performs strength training, the training consciousness, muscle absorption efficiency, digestive system nutrition absorption efficiency, training efficiency are all greatly improved, until the static confrontation evaluation is improved to  90.  "

    This card is the most awesome reward that Zhang Hao thinks!  He believes that this card may be the most valuable reward of this golden gift package.

    Because of the medal, I got one recently. As for the growth card, the last time I got it was a special reward for finding the cheat bug.

    After seeing these two awards, Zhang Hao felt that reading books sometimes was a good thing. He was a good kid who loved learning.

    "The host will enter tactical learning mode and needs to enter sleep state. Do you want to enter learning mode?"

    Suddenly, a subtitle prompt appeared.

    "what's going on?"

    After receiving Zhang Hao¡¯s doubts related to the learning mode, the subtitles changed.

    ¡°The host obtains a tactical manual by completing tasks, and can learn tactics through the tactical learning mode. Only by thoroughly mastering the tactics can you better coach a team.

    Tactical learning mode: It will enter a deep sleep state, and the tactical knowledge learned in the dream will be fully memorized. Learning time: 0 am to 4 am.  "

    As soon as your mind moves, refuse to enter the learning mode for the first time.

    Zhang Hao looked at the book in his hand and flipped through it. It was a professional tactical manual for learning movement positions.

    He can also study and train through this book, but with this learning mode, he can save the time of reading and memorizing tactical movement charts!  Spend more time training!

    ¡­¡­

    June 28, 6:18 am.

    Before going to bed last night, Zhang Hao tried the learning mode. In his dream, it was a small room with a book, the same book he got last night, and a TV. There were detailed explanations when memorizing a running route diagram.  There are pictures of running positions for comparison.

    It¡¯s very simple, see with your eyes and use your brain?There is a need.  "

    Another agreement was signed. According to the regulations, he estimated the total tax amount of his rookie season salary of US$1.13 million with the help of the players' union lawyer. Then, he needed to follow the rules and the proportion of the salary he would receive.  , leaving part of the money in trust in the players' union to avoid players' tax defaults.

    This is a very important part of the American professional league system. Because we often see players¡¯ tax issues in Europe, which affects their image, the four major leagues in North America + the players unions of the four major leagues have worked together to formulate this tax trusteeship.  According to the rules, every time a player's salary is paid, a proportion of it will be handed over to the players' union for custody.

    So even if those players went bankrupt and spent every day without a penny left, there was no tax default.

    Zhang Hao received a check for more than 214,000 U.S. dollars. The players union issued a tax escrow receipt certificate to Zhang Hao and took away the check for 125,000 U.S. dollars.

    This ratio is the basic ratio. Every time a salary is paid, a part is sent to the players union for custody and tax payment in the future.

    In the end, more will be refunded and less will be reimbursed. Even if you need to repay in the future, the amount will not be too large.

    Having already paid so much, no player would be foolish enough to evade the hundreds or thousands of dollars that need to be paid back and cause their own tax violations. When a player really has no money, most of it has been paid anyway, and the rest  A very small number of players' unions also have emergency funds advanced, and future debt collection will be left to the players' union.

    The money is placed in the players union, and the players union will definitely find ways to make money. Of course, the league and the US Taxation Bureau have supervision in this regard.

    However, Zhang Hao saw that the players union had even prepared this Looking at the check of more than 214,000 US dollars in his hand, and then looking at the check of 125,000 US dollars that the Nets had prepared to give to the players union, he felt something was wrong.  !

    "Akers, welcome to join the Nets. I think our future cooperation will be very pleasant. Before July 1st, if you want to come to the team to visit, call me. Here is my business card.  We have a 10:30 flight and have to leave first, see you next time."

    "Bye-Bye¡­¡­"

    After completing the signing and confirming that there was no problem, the Nets management left in a hurry.

    In this way, Zhang Hao signed a 2+1 three-year rookie contract and received a check of more than 214,000 US dollars. The whole process took less than half an hour!

    Zhang Hao found out why his experiences in the past two days were so weird?  He was confused again, looking at the two people from the Players Association at a loss

    When the two people saw Zhang Hao was confused, they also wondered for a moment, but they were not confused about today's signing, but they were confused about why Zhang Hao was confused. But then they realized it, and the lawyer said speechlessly: "We and the alliance will be together on June 18th.  The negotiations failed and the shutdown will be suspended on July 1st"

    Suspended on July 1st?  what's the situation?  Zhang Hao's head was full of questions, wasn't this 1995?

 Chapter 33 33. Advice to domestic players (please vote for recommendation)

    ¡°It¡¯s not just that after receiving a salary of more than 200,000 US dollars, he can waste it wantonly. Of course, he can also do this. The three-year contract has been signed.

    ¡°But if I really do that, I guess I will be no different from those rookies who play for one or two years and then fade out of the NBA.

    Back in the bedroom, Pierce had breakfast and came back to play games. This time he went out to accompany Zhang Hao to participate in the draft. When he returned, he had to go to his brother's training.

    "But Pierce didn't insist on stalling for time. He kept complaining, but he really worked hard in training, which can be seen from his obviously slimmed down body shape.

    Zhang Hao found his debit card with a three-digit deposit in his bag. He would go to the bank soon to handle the cash transfer, and then apply for a credit card. Of course, he had to save the money and repay the credit card after using it. This is how we live in the United States.  It's so painful to go out with a large sum of cash to buy something and call the police. The last time I sold game tickets, the other party was surprised that he actually asked for cash. Fortunately, there is a bank next to the Great Western Forum Arena.

    After taking the contract and debit card, Zhang Hao went to the next room and said to Pierce, "Paul, let's go shopping."

    Pierce replied without looking back: "We two poor guys are going shopping. If we don't go, we will go back to California tomorrow. I have to go to San Diego the day after tomorrow. Let me play games for a while."

    "Hey, it seems I can only spend my NBA salary on my own. How much does this check cost? Paul, do you think the stack is as high as yours?"

    "Salary? Check!"

    Pierce suddenly rolled down from the end of the bed, rolled and crawled to Zhang Hao's side, took away the check that Zhang Hao was waving, looked at it, and was stunned

    More than 210,000 US dollars!

    It's a bit difficult to stack up the 100-dollar ones so high, but the 10-dollar ones are about the same. Not many people in the United States carry around a pile of 100-dollar cash. They usually have 1 dollar in their wallets.  , 5 US dollars, 10 US dollars, 20 US dollars, large amounts are all paid by card.

    Pierce seemed to see the $10 pile of money that was higher than him

    Shaking his head, Pierce tried to calm down.

    "Oh my god, you got your money back now? Are you crazy? Although you have become an NBA player, you must have a reasonable asset use plan. There are too many cases where NBA players go bankrupt after retiring"

    Pierce has a feeling that if he doesn¡¯t come with him this time, the one who returns to Los Angeles will be Zhang Hao who went bankrupt just after making a lot of money.

    Being a big brother is really worrying!

    This time Pierce¡¯s thoughts really surprised Zhang Hao.

    " Pierce actually knows so much Wait, this guy has an older brother who is a professional football player. It seems normal to know this. If the older brother has suffered a loss, he definitely doesn't want his younger brother who also has the potential of a professional athlete to suffer again.

    "Paul, it's like this" Zhang Hao interrupted Pierce and began to explain that the NBA has decided to suspend the game.

    After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Pierce breathed a sigh of relief. He knew something about this, more than Zhang Hao knew before. He just didn't know that the situation had reached this point, and thought it would be solved as smoothly as last year.

    But Pierce was still worried and continued: "You keep this money, I won't spend your money. I will enter the NBA myself in the future, and I will buy whatever I want."

    "Yes, yes, yes, I know, but I have already entered the NBA, so we have to buy beautiful clothes, right? We have to buy gifts for aunt, right?"

    "That's okay. Just wait a minute. I'll call my brother Do you think the Nets will help us pay the phone bill?"

    "I think so"

    He went to a bank with a debit card and cashed the check. Originally, Zhang Hao thought that he, two high school students who were very poor in their dressing, would be looked down upon when they went to the bank, and then used the check to show off. As a result, people knew him

    Live broadcast across the United States!  The ninth overall pick!

    In the NBA draft held in New York, many people in this city know him as a Chinese high school student. At least, many people will remember him in a short time. Of course, this may not necessarily be the case over time. Every year there are so many  What a rookie.

    Entering the bank, the sharp-eyed manager took Zhang Hao and Pierce to the VIP lounge. The matter was settled in a few seconds. They only needed to drink coffee and wait.

    Since the Magic Birds era, in recent years, NBA players have all become high-income groups. Even the lowest-paid players, as long as they have a guaranteed contract, their annual salary is more than 300,000 US dollars.  From now on, there is a guarantee contract, and you are a big customer in any bank you go to Of course, this is during the contract period or when there is still money in the account.

    Got the credit card, Zhang HaoI will not go back next summer. I want to train hard this summer, polish my skills, and strive to get stable playing time as early as possible next season. I also need to consider where to study in college and communicate with the school well. After all,  I couldn't study at school for a long time, rest was too luxury for me.  "

    "Are you concerned about domestic basketball? Do you think there are any domestic players who are likely to enter the NBA?"

    "I think there will be players who enter the NBA soon. We have also had players selected by NBA players before. Although it was the third round, there was still a chance. It's a pity that he suffered a major injury at the age of 21. It's a pity that he didn't make it.  Join the Eagles.

    I think many talented players in China enter the professional arena too early. They play in the professional arena at the age of thirteen or fourteen. They are too prone to injuries. If possible, I think they have the opportunity to go to European youth training camps.  , try an American university For example, Wang Zhizhi, he is a few months younger than me, but he has already made a huge contribution to the national team. If the country can let him go to an American university to play in the NCAA for a few years, I think  He can enter the NBA very smoothly"

    Wang Zhizhi was encouraged by the support of Liu Yudong, who is also a member of the Nanjing Military Industrial Corps men's basketball team.

    However, thinking of the recent experience, Wang Zhizhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I guess it will be difficult for me to get out successfully. The Basketball Association does not want me to leave, and the leaders have not agreed yet. I am a soldier and have to obey orders and I am worried that even if I go  When I come to the United States, the National Basketball Association will also go to the NCAA and tell me that I am a player in the A-level professional league. I have asked, if I successfully register in the A-level professional league, I will not be able to play in the NCAA."

    Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong knew what Wang Zhizhi said, and it was really possible No, as long as there was no support from their Nanjing Military Region, that group of people would definitely be able to do such a thing, and they were extremely good at using moral kidnapping.  , black and white self-report The most important thing is the current international situation. It is absolutely reasonable for the Blue Association to make a fuss about this.

    "If the gangsters take over, I will not be able to defeat them even if I come."

    Compared with Liu Yudong's maturity and stability, Hu Weidong, who is also 25 years old, has a more out-of-the-box personality and asked: "Da Liu, do you think it is okay to go directly to the NBA trial training? Didn't Zhang Hao enter the NBA at the age of 18?"

    Liu Yudong shook his head and said: "Have you watched the game video of the Adidas training camp? Zhang Hao is only 18 years old, and his level is no worse than you and me. Bibby, Billups and others who are comparable to him are all playing in the NCAA. Zhang Hao  He is a special case. He is on the level of Bibby and Billups purely due to his athleticism and shooting ability, so he can directly enter the NBA. I think it is roughly like Zhang Hao said, go to the NCAA for a few years to train, and maybe come out of school.  I will eventually be able to enter the NBA! In China, it is probably very difficult, and once I actually play in Class A, I¡¯m worried that it will be very difficult to leave. Haven¡¯t you read the player contract?¡±

    Hu Weidong was a little frustrated when he thought about the contract that was like a full-time job, but he had no choice but to sign it if he wanted to play. After all, the salary was still good after the establishment of the league.

    He is not complaining, he is willing to contribute to the country, but after playing for the national team for many years, he really has not saved much money, so he has to consider the future.

    Wang Zhizhi really wants to go to the NCAA. The compatriots who knew his existence in a foreign country suggested that he go

    ¡°But he was only 18 years old, and he went to the leaders to talk about the matter with excitement, but was pushed back. Now he doesn¡¯t know what to do.

    Seeing that Wang Zhizhi was silent and clearly depressed, Liu Yudong said: "Don't worry, I'll talk to the chief with you! I believe they will make the best choice"

    ¡­¡­

    On Zhang Hao's side, he still didn't know that because he mentioned Wang Zhizhi casually, it brought such a big change to the starting point of Wang Zhizhi's career, giving Wang Zhizhi a clear direction of efforts instead of wasting a few years in the country like in the original time and space.  Then decided to go to the United States.

    Day by day training passed, Zhang Hao is also constantly improving.

    It seems that there is not much progress in shooting, but with the continuous improvement of strength, the level of mid-range shooting has not been affected, and there is still some progress in long-range shooting, which is actually a huge improvement.

    After breaking through the 80 strength rating mark, his strength rating improved rapidly, rising to 84 in just half a month!

    During the summer of the lockout, the NBA seemed to have disappeared from the world. The Internet was not developed these days, and there was not even news on mobile phone text messages. Apart from the news on TV, newspapers, and radio about the failure of negotiations between labor and management after the lockout, there was not much coverage of the NBA.  .

    Occasionally, the court station would come to interview him, and he once recorded his training, so there was nothing else to do. The NBA has no way to use the image of players to hype up. During the offseason, in addition to individual players making news,  There is no other news. In fact, a lot of player news is created by the league. There are even negative news. As long as the impact is not very bad or has no impact on the league, the league will even take the initiative to hype up negative news about players.

    On July 20th, Zhang Hao temporarily stopped training and had something to do today.

    April Clark passed the art exam at the University of Southern California yesterday, and her last SAT score was good. She received an interview invitation from the University of Southern California. Today, Zhang Hao will also go to the University of Southern California for an interview. He is also planning to apply for this university.  .

    On the way to the University of Southern California in a taxi, April Clark asked: "Akers, why are you going to the University of Southern California? You should be able to go to New York University, right? It's so close to New Jersey, and it's one of the top ten universities in the United States."

    "The biokinesiology and physical therapy major at USC is very good. I like this major."

    ¡°¡­¡± April Clark felt speechless when she heard the name of this major and didn¡¯t know how to respond.

    Does anyone know how to study this major?

    Watch at April Clark?, she might as well learn to repair cars, she just likes tinkering with cars. Unfortunately, after she broke her father¡¯s only precious sports car after playing with it when she was taller, she was kicked out of her family and rented a house. Otherwise, her father would still have a car that he usually drives to and from work.  She would definitely try harder to damage another car.

    "Are you worried that my grades will be rejected if I have average grades, so you apply for this university with me?"

    When it comes to talent for acting in dramas, April Clark feels that she is pretty good, but after all, she learned it late, and she didn¡¯t start learning this until her senior year of high school when her grades couldn¡¯t improve. And it was only through the recent intensive training that she managed to do it.  She passed the art exam and her SAT score was only okay. The Urban College of Southern California, which is an art school, is ranked first in the United States. The test score requirements are not low. She just barely passed the exam. It is really possible that she will be interviewed.  was later rejected.

    Thinking of this, April Clark¡¯s eyes flickered

    Instead of talking about why she went to the University of Southern California, April Clark took the initiative to change the subject and chatted about recent events. She was good at finding topics, and Zhang Hao was willing to listen.

    When they arrived at the University Park campus, the main campus of the University of Southern California, it was still early before the appointment time. The two of them walked around the main campus together. If everything goes well, this will be the main campus of the university they will study in the future.

    The two were chatting and strolling around. Suddenly, Zhang Hao's knee suffered a "heavy blow" and was knocked. Just as he lowered his head, he heard a cry of "Wow".

    A rampaging little loli "slammed" his knee with her head, and then knocked herself down!

    April Clark was the first to react. She quickly squatted down and helped up the little girl who fell to the ground: "My dear, are you okay? Does it hurt? Be good don't cry, don't cry  "

    Girls aged eighteen or nineteen are most likely to be overflowing with maternal love. While coaxing the little loli, they glared at Zhang Hao complainingly.

    Zhang Hao felt so wronged, he was the one who was "attacked"!

    However, this little loli is so cute!

    Just when the little Loli was crying and April Clark's coaxing was useless, Zhang Hao squatted down, stretched out his hand, and poked the crying little Loli in the face.

    ??The little Loli who has been crying all over the world with her face since she was a child is a little confused. Why doesn't this telephone pole guy coax her like everyone else?

    April Clark was having a headache about how to deal with this little lolita. After all, the two of them were chatting and didn't notice the little lolita rushing in front, which caused the other party to bump into and fall. She was about to get angry when she saw Zhang Hao's actions.  I don¡¯t know how to coax children and cause trouble, but I stopped crying when I saw this little loli!

    "Is this a new way of coaxing children?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 36 36. Invitation from Starbucks (please vote for recommendation)

    The little Loli wanted to slap Zhang Hao's hand away in disgust, but Zhang Hao immediately poked it with the other hand. She was already desperate. She could only accept her fate.

    However, Zhang Hao wanted to take her with him wherever he went. Compared to April Clark, Zhang Hao made her feel more at ease. It was not April Clark who gave her the feeling of being a bad person, but April Clark.  He is very rational after no longer being overflowing with maternal love, and does not show much extra care to her, just like an ordinary strange child. At this time, Zhang Hao seems to be particularly good.

    After thinking about it, she decided to tell her that she wanted to go back to find her father, so she responded: "My name is Lelin Isabel Schultz, and my father is Howard Schultz."

    When she said her father's name, the little Loli was very proud.

    Finally knowing the name of this little lolita, Zhang Hao took advantage of it again.

    He reached out and rubbed the little Loli's head and said, "Lelin, what a nice name."

    Although she occasionally went offline, the very smart little loli glanced at Zhang Hao in surprise, but said nothing. The surprised look quickly turned into disgust, but she couldn't struggle and could only accept her fate and have her head rubbed.

    "where is your house?"

    "I won't tell you."

    ""

    "I can give you my dad's phone number. You can call him for me later and I will pay you back the phone bill."

    "I can still afford the phone bill. Is anyone answering your phone at home at this time?"

    ¡°My dad¡¯s secretary has a cell phone.¡±

    ¡°¡­The rich second generation¡­¡±

    "What is the second generation of rich people?"

    ¡°It¡¯s the kind of person whose parents have money and a good life, like you.¡±

    ""

    After chatting about one thing or another, April Clark came out of the interview classroom with a happy face.

    Seeing April Clark¡¯s expression, Zhang Hao smiled and said, ¡°April, you must have passed the interview, right?¡±

    "Well, I was admitted to City College School of Cinematic Arts!" April Clark trotted up excitedly and hugged Zhang Hao.

    She was really happy. April Clark was very grateful to Zhang Hao for applying to the University of Southern California with her, because the interviewer asked a question about the relationship between the two of them. She answered honestly, saying that the two were classmates and part-time students.  Living in the same apartment, this may be one of the reasons why she was admitted even though her test scores and art test scores were average.

    Although at first she wanted to learn to repair cars and had no interest in acting in dramas, but after she realized last summer that she would not be able to enter the professional tennis world, she listened to her mother, studied hard, and studied acting. After working hard, she did it.  Very happy indeed.

    After the hug, Zhang Hao said: "To celebrate your admission to college, I will treat you to dinner tonight. You can choose any restaurant anywhere."

    "Then I'm not polite By the way, let's call the police first and send this little sister to the police station."

    "She said she remembered her father's mobile phone number, let's go make a call"

    "Lelin!"

    Just when the two of them were discussing how to deal with this little loli that they met by chance, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose shouted and rushed up.

    The little Loli who was rolling her eyes while listening to the conversation between the two poor students heard this voice, turned around and saw her father running up, and rushed towards her excitedly: "Daddy"

    Zhang Hao and April Clark were startled by the roar at first, and their first reaction was to be wary, but when they saw the little Loli also shouting for daddy and pounced on them, they breathed a sigh of relief.

    After looking at each other, Zhang Hao understood the meaning in April Clark's eyes and said to the little Loli: "Lelin, since your father has found you, let's go first, bye"

    After saying that, Zhang Hao took April Clark and prepared to leave.

    Both of them have already seen that the little Loli has an unusual family background, but neither of them took the initiative to make friends with her. It was really unnecessary for him.

    At this time, the middle-aged Jewish man with a hooked nose, who had escaped from the emotions of shock and joy, said to the two of them: "Please wait a moment, sir, you are Ax Zhang, right?"

    The two stopped and Zhang Hao responded: "It's me."

    No one recognized Zhang Hao. The two of them felt nothing. It was not surprising that someone recognized him.

    "Great, I'm a big basketball fan, and so is my son. It's a pity that he didn't come to Los Angeles with me this time. Can you please have lunch with me? Thank you very much for helping me take care of my daughter. I want to  Let¡¯s talk about NBA with you¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s hard to deny hospitality, Howard SchultzThere are good reasons for inviting them to lunch. He is a loyal basketball fan, and they both help take care of and protect Howard Schultz's daughter

    This is one of the more troublesome things for people who do good deeds, that is, sometimes they do some good deeds casually, but the other person insists on thanking them. They do not do good deeds for the benefit, it is just convenient, and it is difficult to refuse.

    But it¡¯s just lunch, so that¡¯s nothing.

    Furthermore, Howard Schultz is not lying. This middle-aged handsome man talks about all the NBA teams. Even the players of the New Jersey Nets can tell a lot of things.

    He really knows the NBA very well.

    If Zhang Hao wants to chat, he can be considered very good at it, and he is not a chatty person like Pierce. He is the type who can find content to chat with.

    ¡°But Howard Schultz is better at chatting and can find the topics the other party likes from the conversation. He is an experienced middle-aged man.

    From the conversation, Zhang Hao learned that Howard Schultz is the sponsor of the U.S. men¡¯s basketball team at next year¡¯s Atlanta Olympics. The University of Southern California is the school whose students have won the most Olympic medals in the world. In next year¡¯s Olympics, almost 100% of the U.S. Olympic team will be  The twenty-year-old athlete is a student at the University of Southern California. He came here to discuss cooperation with the school.

    While chatting, little Loli suddenly interrupted and asked: "Dad, is he very good at playing basketball? Better than Kevin?"

    Howard Schultz smiled and said: "Your brother is just a good amateur player on the street. Akers is the best high school basketball player in the world. He has already entered the NBA."

    "No wonder he is as tall as a telephone pole, he is an NBA player." Little Loli didn't expect Zhang Hao to be quite good.

    The lunch time was overall very pleasant. Howard Schultz did not take Zhang Hao and April Clark to a particularly high-end restaurant, which would have been too distant, but to a family restaurant with good taste.  , the environment is like a family banquet, the atmosphere is relaxed.

    During dessert time after the meal, Howard Schultz's secretary packed a few cups of coffee and came to this family restaurant. It was not a high-end coffee, but Starbucks, a chain coffee shop that Zhang Hao and April Clark usually bought and drank.  Coffee, most drinks are priced at $2.80, $3.80, and $4.80. It has become the most popular coffee shop in the United States. Americans have become accustomed to drinking coffee because the price of coffee is similar to that of other beverages.

    Feeling that the conversation was almost over, Howard Schultz said to Zhang Hao: "Akers, this is my coffee. I am going to open a chain of coffee shops in China, specializing in making and selling coffee to the Chinese. I want to find a  Partner, I would like to invite you to participate"

    "Okay, since you judge it this way, then we can open a joint venture in China by choosing a Chinese as our partner. It would be good to choose Zhang, a high school student. He is famous now and is a good candidate.  It's hard for Chinese people to do business. It's too difficult to deal with a famous Chinese businessman. It's easier to control high school students."

    "I don't think he is easy to control. He is too calm. When he heard my invitation to cooperate, he did not show any excitement. Instead, he was thinking immediately. I think he probably knows that benefits are accompanied by risks. I  Get ready to learn more about him

    As for whether it is easy to control or not, it doesn't matter. The way I plan to cooperate with him is to use his Chinese identity to open a joint venture.

    My dream is to devote my life to sports, and use the knowledge I have learned and my personal abilities to contribute to the country¡¯s sports industry in the future"

    After confirming his enrollment at the University of Southern California, Zhang Hao contacted Xu Jicheng of Xinhua News Agency. After dinner on the second day after confirming his enrollment, Chaotingdai and the Xinhua News Agency Sports News Department jointly conducted an exclusive interview with Zhang Hao.

    This time, the answer to the last question Zhang Hao was asked was the agreed upon manuscript.

    After all, it is an official media, so it needs to pay attention to details, especially to promote positive energy.

    If possible, Zhang Hao would definitely do the same, but first of all, it is to keep himself alive, which is why he is not so keen on gaining popularity and doing side jobs.

    But he is still very happy to take time out occasionally to stay popular. Who doesn¡¯t want to make more money?

    Having money will allow him to go further on the basketball road more smoothly.

    Now, in a month, he spends a total of less than 10,000 US dollars on caddy fees, physical therapy fees, and nutritious meals. These days, only rich people can engage in art. Similarly, engaging in sports also requires  You have to have money.

    But there was one thing that bothered Zhang Hao. He discovered that any trivial matter that was a bit trivial would be reported by the Imperial Television Station or Xinhua News Agency.

    Obviously, he did not clearly realize the impact of a Chinese basketball player, and a high school basketball player being selected with the ninth overall pick in the NBA draft.

    ¡°Moreover, he is used to the rhythm of idols¡¯ popularity coming and going quickly without any works in the future. He feels that he should not pay attention to it if he is not playing games, and forgets that sports competition and idols are not the same concept at all.

    "It's just that the interviews are more frequent, and the interviews have not affected his training. They have made appointments to take the time to interview, so he doesn't care.

    After completing the interview recording, the staff were very used to this situation and packed up their things skillfully. They will also follow Zhang Hao to Rutherford, New Jersey in the future to become his accompanying reporters.

    For Zhang Hao, he will not train after dinner. It is also very important to let the body rest well. Although one of the effects brought by the growth card is that the body's recovery ability is enhanced when training static strength, but it must also be rested before it can be said to be strengthened.  There is no use in strengthening without rest.

    Therefore, Zhang Hao and Xu Jicheng chatted together after the interview. It was quite happy for him to have someone to chat with in Mandarin.

    While chatting, Xu Jicheng suddenly remembered something: "Akers, let me tell you some good news. Wang Zhizhi will come to the United States for an interview next month, and he may go to Georgetown University to compete in the NCAA!"

    "what's the situation?"

    Wang Zhizhi went to the United States to play in the NCAA?  This was really beyond Zhang Hao's expectation. He was just making an analogy casually, but he didn't expect it to come true.

    "Thanks to your previous suggestions, several national players helped Wang Zhizhi win the opportunity to study in the United States" Looking around, he saw that no one else was around. Xu Jicheng whispered: "He is the best center in this year's World Youth Championship.  The university has been interested in him for a long time. Fortunately, you warned him early. If Wang Zhizhi had already signed up for the first season of Class A, he would not be able to play in the NCAA. Even ifIt was useless for the members to unite and ask the National Basketball Association to release the player. The rules of American college sports are that if a player is registered in a professional league, he is not considered an amateur and cannot participate in college competitions. Thanks to the help of the head of the Nanjing Military Region.  "

    Listening to Xu Jicheng¡¯s description, Zhang Hao knew that it was not easy for Wang Zhizhi to go to college in the United States. It took national team players and military leaders to get this opportunity What is this!  Which country's sports leaders would not want domestic players to develop better

    "It can't be said or said. From Xu Jicheng's tone, Zhang Hao knew that this matter was just for him to know, and he didn't want to discuss it in depth. He also tacitly agreed not to continue the conversation and nodded, indicating that he understood.

    The wings of the butterfly have begun to flap. When Zhang Hao knew that he had the opportunity to play in a professional game, he knew that he would definitely affect the development of some things. However, he did not expect that he would already give up to the national team before he even played in a professional game.  An important player in the future made such a difference.

    Playing in the NCAA and playing in Class A Regardless of income, Zhang Hao believes that playing in the NCAA is not comparable to playing in Class A. Although the NCAA Basketball Championship is only an amateur game, the level is enough to be ranked second in the world.  Basketball League.

    "Going to Georgetown University I guess it will be quite difficult" Zhang Hao remembered what happened when he first arrived in the United States. He was not friendly. He only won respect after performing well on the court.

    Wang Zhizhi seems to be easier to bullybut he has no choice but to support himself. If he chooses this path, he must bear it.

    And what kind of difficulties Wang Zhizhi will go through? Zhang Hao doesn't want to understand this kind of thing. He is still in trouble. As the saying goes, one can become a master only after enduring hardships. He sincerely expressed his sincerity to Wang Zhizhi's NCAA journey.  blessing of¡­¡­

    The same goes for the improvement of strength. It should originally involve increasing weight, increasing training volume, and accepting conditions such as declining speed and flexibility. Only then can it be possible to improve to the top level.

    Good guy, your speed and flexibility are still at the top, and your strength has reached the top. Not only does it become difficult to improve your strength, but if you want to improve your strength, increase your muscles, increase your weight, and reach the point of improving your strength evaluation,  It is estimated that the impact on athletic ability will be greater than imagined!

    The increase in strength is definitely a great thing for Zhang Hao, but human beings are very contradictory. Even an absolutely good thing can lead to unfavorable situations.

    Feeling that he has gone astray, Zhang Hao ignores this for now. Improving strength is definitely a good thing. Otherwise, it would take God knows how many years to reach this point, and there is no special effect of the growth card.

    In the past month or so, in addition to strength training and shooting maintenance training, he has also practiced catching and shooting, and tactical movement training.

    There has been progress in tactical movement training, but the improvement does not lie in the proficiency of movement, but in the brain knowing how to run.

    The off-ball movement tactics manual he got covers almost all the famous tactics in the league today, including the movement routes and concepts of off-the-ball players. As long as he learns them all, any coach in the league today will be able to use the manual without the ball.  The tactics can be executed normally, and he thinks he can move well.

    However, he only memorized the running positions, but did not actually train with anyone on any running positions.

    Zhang Hao discovered that this thing must be trained as a team, otherwise it would be difficult to say how much progress he would make. He knew how to move. For more than a month, he often "read" this book in his "dream" repeatedly, and he had already memorized it very much.  Because it has a strong learning purpose, it does not feel boring. It is actually quite interesting to study how to move. You can also expand your own ideas based on the existing movement route map, as well as some future classic tactical movements.  method, he also began to think about how to use it

    However, these tactics are of no use even if he recruits a few juniors to practice running together. These juniors have not learned this aspect at all, and it is useless if they have no basic training at all.

    As an off-ball shooter, you must practice with teammates who play together in order to be effective.

    Moreover, he has a deep understanding of the game and knows that in a real game, the actual execution of tactics may be very different from the preset tactics. Actual combat is needed to truly create good teamwork and chemistry.  Reaction is the most important thing. Teammates must understand each other so that players without the ball can truly have a chemical reaction with their teammates or determine inappropriateness.

    This matter cannot be solved for the time being, and Zhang Hao is not discouraged, nor does he give up studying. Before going to bed at night, he will choose to enter the learning mode and study how to move in his sleep.

    For the time being, all the brain has learned is the route map of movement without the ball, but Zhang Hao is very happy about the "tactical learning mode". This thing is great!

    This is his shortcoming as a high school player. Unlike most rookies, he has at least played in the NCAA or overseas leagues. No matter which one, he has more theoretical knowledge and practical experience in tactics.

    Now, at least he has extremely rich theoretical knowledge in what he is good at - movement without the ball.

    This will definitely be a huge help for him after entering the NBA.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°The remaining life is 316 days and the available life is 315 days.¡±

    When Zhang Hao woke up on the morning of August 14th, he saw this prompt again

    It doesn¡¯t matter if he wants to be numb, because this is the time he can still live.

    After getting up and washing up, he put on more formal clothes and a casual suit. Zhang Hao came to the room of April Clark, the beautiful tennis girl and now a quasi-drama actress. At first, Zhang Hao really didn't expect that she actually had a skill.  He has good cooking skills, and today he has breakfast ready for him as usual.

    The breakfast was quite rich. Zhang Hao was not polite and sat down to eat. Since April Clark had been on vacation, she had often made breakfast. Today we were going to the airport together, so April Clark prepared breakfast.

    "Paul will arrive in the afternoon, and in the morning we will pick up your country's talented center Is he very good?" April Clark asked.

    "In two years, he should be the best inside man in our country. He was the best center in this year's World Youth Championship. He will definitely enter the NBA." Zhang Hao is very confident in Wang Zhizhi's talent. He wasted time in the A-A.  He can still be selected by the Mavericks for three years. In the NCAA, as long as Wang Zhizhi can successfully establish himself, Zhang Hao doesn't think there will be any problem for Wang Zhizhi to enter the NBA.

    Tomorrow is the registration day for most universities in the United States. Wang Zhizhi had already boarded the plane from Shanghai last night in the United States. Xu Jicheng's sideOkay, Zhang Hao, let's pick up Wang Zhizhi today. Tomorrow Wang Zhizhi will go to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., to register.

    Pierce will also go to the University of Kansas to register tomorrow and will go home today.

    "I really envy you people with great talents. I can only become a drama actor, and I don't know if I can do it. Do you think Paul will lose weight again this time when he comes back?"

    April Clark once had the challenge of becoming a professional tennis player and knew how difficult it was to become an NBA player. After hearing what Zhang Hao said, she also felt that Wang Zhizhi should be quite good, but she did not continue the topic. After all, she had no idea who Wang Zhizhi was.

    "I think he will lose a lot of weight. I don't know what kind of blow he suffered. It is probably because he was rejected by a girl, and he actually wants to lose weight I don't know if you have talent when you are a drama actor, but you look so good.  She's so good-looking and has a good figure. She can be a vase even if she has no talent!" After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he looked up and down at the beautiful tennis girl in front of him.

    "You are the flower vase," April Clark rolled her eyes at Zhang Hao and said with a smile: "When Paul hears you say this, he will probably fight you desperately. I have introduced many beautiful girls to him, but he doesn't seem to have any feelings for them.  ¡­¡±

    "You should tell him directly that you are introducing a girlfriend to him. With his IQ, it implies to him that he must not know that you are introducing a girlfriend to him."

    "It's possible" April Clark said and glanced at Zhang Hao suddenly reacted and smiled: "If Paul hears you talking about him like this, he will definitely fight you to the death!"

    ¡­¡­

    After breakfast and resting for a while, Xu Jicheng came to pick them up.

    Zhang Hao rented a commercial car yesterday. Wang Zhizhi came to the United States to study in college and is just an ordinary student. The country will not give Wang Zhizhi too much preferential treatment, or it cannot give too many preferential treatment to allow him, a military player, to study abroad.  A lot has been done to pay for tuition and basic living expenses from the army's finances. In the United States, Wang Zhizhi can only rely on himself.

    When they arrived at the airport, the three of them found a cafe with a prominent sign and chatted while waiting.

    Waiting and waiting, April Clark¡¯s phone rang.

    After answering the phone and returning to her seat, April Clark said to Zhang Hao: "Akers, there is another agent who is coming for an interview. His name is Charles Banks. When is the appointment? He is in Los Angeles and can come at any time.  ¡­¡±

    After April Clark went on vacation, Zhang Hao hired her to do some simple work, and did not let April Clark handle too many things. If something really happened, she couldn't handle it, so he asked Pierce's mother to help answer the phone and make an appointment.  took over the job,

    Pierce¡¯s mother has to manage the apartment, so she is already busy. By August, high school students studying abroad have come to Los Angeles. As Inglewood High School is ranked among the top high schools in the United States, Pierce¡¯s mother¡¯s apartment business has been very good.

    "Charles Banks, Garnett's agent?" Zhang Hao thought of the man who teamed up with Duncan's wife to put a single-colored hat on Duncan

    "Yes, that's how he introduced himself, saying that he hopes you two high school students can be in the same agency."

    "Help me reject him, just say banks are all liars."

 Chapter 39 39. When in doubt, go to dad (please vote for recommendation)

    If someone else practices like Pierce, and he is 18 years old, he will probably be useless.

    But a phoenix is ??a phoenix, and Pierce suddenly changed from a nimble and fat man to a strong man

    In the evening, Pierce¡¯s mother cooked a sumptuous dinner and invited Zhang Hao and April Clark to join her. The next morning, Pierce was urged by her mother to go to the University of Kansas.

    In the words of Pierce¡¯s mother, Pierce didn¡¯t choose UCL, and she really wanted to beat him to death.

    Zhang Hao went to the University of Southern California with April Clark and successfully completed the admission procedures.

    After completing the admission procedures, Zhang Hao accompanied April Clark to buy a second-hand car.

    Living on campus in an American university costs about US$6,000 a year. This year¡¯s living fee is US$5,200. Including miscellaneous expenses, it costs almost US$6,000 a year. And renting an apartment, such as Pierce¡¯s  The price of an apartment is only 3,000 US dollars a year, which is double the price. The accommodation fee saved in a year is enough to buy a decent used car for transportation.

    The University of Southern California is less than 20 kilometers away from Inglewood. It is much more cost-effective to drive to school than live on campus.

    After settling the matter of enrollment, April Clark has to go to school. Zhang Hao is not in a hurry. April Clark is busy because he is studying art and needs to get to know the teachers and other classmates and do well.  Regarding Zhang Hao's relationship, when he entered the school to register, there were people watching and reporters taking pictures

    NBA negotiations have broken down again, but the media generally predicts that an agreement will definitely be reached in the first half of September to avoid affecting the training camp that starts in October.

    And the NBA¡¯s purchasing department and the purchasing departments of each team have also released the bidding announcement and have begun preparations for the new season.

    During this shutdown, Zhang Hao drew a conclusion from the information he learned. It was just that both labor and management directly showed off their dissatisfaction.

    Both sides have a basic purpose, that is, before the current collective bargaining agreement expires in 1998, there will be no further negotiations and a standstill, and a plan that both parties can retreat from and be temporarily satisfied with will be used to resolve the remaining issues in the collective bargaining agreement.  Finish the fight in three years first and then talk about it.

    Because all current negotiations are conducted on the basis of the 1988 labor agreement, there is no way to make complete changes. If you want to make major changes to the labor agreement, you can only wait until 1998.

    This is just a stoppage to vent the dissatisfaction between labor and management.

    This also made Zhang Hao understand why later generations of basketball fans know very little about the lockout in 1995, because it is not important.

    Zhang Hao's current plan is to go to class first. After practicing strength for more than a month, he also wants to take a break. It is not just a rest. He will take professional classes if there are any. He will take time to practice shooting every day and wait for the team to gather at the end of September.  The training camp will start on October 1st.

    ¡°The other thing is to take advantage of this period to find a lawyer, in case you need it for anything in the future.

    ??Contacted the players union, withdrew the announcement to recruit agents, and then issued an announcement to recruit lawyers.

    Although the players' union takes a commission from the salary and can make money every year with the tax money collected from the players, the players' union is really easy to use. They will help with all these troubles, and they have also established a fairly complete system over the past few decades.  A network of connections makes everything easy.

    Falcao Agency in Los Angeles.

    This was a once very brilliant agency. When there were only more than 300 NBA players, they once owned more than 200 of them. At least half of the players on each team were owned by this agency.

    During that period, the agent¡¯s salary commission ratio was relatively high, reaching 15% at one time.

    ?Among them, Falcao¡¯s agency made the vast majority.

    In 1991, when NBA players earned a total annual salary of US$260 million, the company's annual income reached more than US$27 million, exceeding 10% of the total annual salary of NBA players, of which US$16 million was contributed by players.  of salary.

    The remaining income of more than 10 million is Jordan's endorsement dividend. After Jordan won the championship that year, his total endorsement income exceeded 50 million US dollars, and nearly a quarter was given to Falcao's agency.

    In the three years from 1991 to 1993, Jordan alone gave David Falcao more than 50 million US dollars in endorsement dividends.

    There were rumors that the reason why Jordan retired before was because he no longer wanted to pay so much money to his agent David Falcao every year, because the contract between Jordan and David Falcao was valid during the player period.  The cooperation agreement must be re-signed, and during his retirement, Nike must pay as much dividends as he should.

    As the most successful athlete agent in the world in the past ten yearsMany, maybe the relationship between players is much better than the relationship between players and agents. Times have changed a long time ago.

    But it doesn¡¯t make any difference to him, so it doesn¡¯t matter.

    After seeing off the chattering Banks, David Falcao thought of Jordan¡¯s training he saw a few days ago He can do something next summer!

    For this reason, he was ready to contact the enemy in New York. For this kind of thing, he would definitely have to find someone to come forward. He knew that he was hated by those teams. Nowadays, when big things happen, he doesn't want to be in the management of those teams.  In the sight of the top, otherwise something bad will happen in all likelihood.

    A few more days have passed.

    David Falcao was chatting with an official of the players union. According to the information he received from the other party, the league has chosen to make concessions and will not touch the current salary terms for the time being. The players union is also ready to make concessions completely.  The fixed salary of the rookie contract is set, and the condition is that the length of the rookie contract must be limited. Soon, the NBA will resume operations in an orderly manner

    While chatting, people from the players union actually talked about Zhang Hao, which surprised David Falcao.

    "David, today's high school students are really exaggerated. Your company's Garnett signed a three-year, 12 million endorsement contract, and that high school student in China wants to cooperate with Starbucks to establish a branch in China"

    "Watt? Sean, what did you say?"

 Chapter 40 40. Let¡¯s get on the pirate ship together (please vote for recommendation)

    The ones who benefit the most from "Determining the First Season" are undoubtedly the Heat and the Big Three, but for agents, the ones who benefit the most are actually those players who are at a lower level than the Big Three. Many teams have paid for James,  Bosh and Wade freed up salary space. As a result, the Big Three formed a team. The salary space of other teams could not be used. They could only give high salaries to the players in the next level. The next level is better than no one, but  However, many premium contracts and junk contracts were produced, which became one of the reasons for the shutdown in 2011.

    The news that Zhang Hao saw about him was that the Big Three of the Heat went to celebrate his birthday.

    Let¡¯s meet. Zhang Hao also understands the energy of agents. The future Lakers will rely on James and James¡¯ brother Rich Paul to make the slogan ¡°Lakers Championship¡± come true.

    That¡¯s 24 years later when players have greater control over themselves!

    At this stage, although the David Falcao agency, which once owned more than half of the league's players, has declined, the energy of agents still cannot be underestimated.

    Although Zhang Hao has his own ideas, he still has to see him when he should.

    The lockout is over. I estimate that I will have to go to Rutherford Town in at least half a month to take care of these things to avoid trouble after returning to the team.

    And he also really wants to go to the team for more professional training. The equipment of the NBA team's arena must be the most advanced basketball stadium in this era, and the training facilities must also be the most complete.

    The most important thing is the training other than shooting training, so that NBA teams can have more professional guidance.

    It seems that the Nets have no possibility of a big deal. Coleman has been sent away, and Kenny Anderson is still left. He will definitely not send him away any more. After Zhang Hao accepted Pelinka¡¯s proposal to meet, he said: "  Robert, please help me collect information on the players currently owned by the Nets, thank you"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Looking at the middle-aged man who looked like an old American farmer in front of him, Zhang Hao couldn't figure out that this honest-looking man actually played the teams around in the summer of 2010.

    But after the meeting started, Zhang Hao knew why this agent was able to play those teams around. He felt that Henry Thomas was very "real" in his words. Maybe it was his image and temperament that gave Henry Thomas the innate ability to do this.  The advantage is that it feels real. It doesn't matter whether it is real or not. At least it feels real when listening to him speak.

    "I think your first goal in your rookie season, Akers, is to secure your position as an off-ball shooter. I believe your shooting ability and athletic ability can occupy a certain amount of playing time for the Nets, but you have to be patient.  The NBA is different from high school. It is difficult to have the same core position as in high school. However, I will help you communicate with the team and let them know your abilities. I will also help you in other aspects. Alan Houston is also in our company.  For the players under my banner, I can help you ask him to practice shooting together, he is very helpful"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Realistically, what he said was real, and the suggestions he gave were real. Henry Thomas showed his character - realism everywhere.

    However, Zhang Hao is very calm. Even if he doesn't know that Henry Thomas can play various teams around in the future, he is also very calm about these things for other reasons. On the one hand, he has so many years of work experience, not  On the other hand, for an ordinary 18-year-old high school graduate, he only has more than 300 days to live, and he must deal with many things in his career more calmly.

    After Zhang Hao waited for Henry Thomas to finish his suggestions and growth plans for the next year, he said: "Mr. Thomas, my rookie contract has been signed, and I may not be able to get the next contract in the future. You must  I know very well the average career length of NBA players. Even if I am a lottery pick, the average career length of a lottery pick is not particularly long. Are you not afraid of giving me a few years of work in vain?"

    "I'm afraid," Henry Thomas responded without hesitation, and then continued: "But I believe that salary is only a part of your income. When working with Starbucks, I know you will not let others interfere, but I think your business side  The value is underestimated. As long as you can play it, I believe that with the vast market in China and the Chinese markets around the world, your endorsement income will definitely not be low. Although there are risks, I think you are worth it, Aix.  pay."

    Henry Thomas¡¯s words made Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes light up.

    Having met with so many agents, Henry Thomas is the first person to be so keen on the Chinese market!

    Before Yao Ming entered the NBA and brought huge business benefits to Houston, NBA teams and agents did not pay much attention to the Chinese market.

    These days, the news that Zhang Hao sees has a very bad evaluation of China. Not to mention now, even more than 20 years later, American news rarely says good things about China.

    &nbspA child brought back from China must have excellent talent to bring him back. If the talent is average, it is better to find a local high school student without so much trouble.

    When Zhang Hao showed his athletic talent in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest and his shooting talent in the Adidas training camp, he immediately had a draft market from the end of the first round to the early second round. This draft market, for a high school freshman,  Not bad for a graduated player!  In the end, a team selected Zhang Hao with the 9th overall pick, which must have been a gamble on talent.

    With such talent and self-discipline, Zhang Hao has a higher chance of becoming a star!  An agent's biggest income is the player's salary share. There are currently more than 600 registered agents in the NBA. There are only about 100 agents with NBA players under them. Among them, less than 70 have an annual income of more than 10,000 US dollars.  , many agents just make a living, and have to do other jobs part-time. Many players who are engaged in the agent industry are not selected.

    As the saying goes, people die of waterlogging and die of thirst. Jordan's agent David Falcao does not receive much salary commission, but he takes more than 10 million U.S. dollars from Jordan's sneaker share every year, and Henry Thomas also  He is doing well, but his income last season was only about 200,000 US dollars. He is not poor, but he is not very wealthy either. And he is already in his 40s. If he doesn't work hard, he will have to admit that he is mediocre.  .

    The current NBA salary market is at a stage about to explode. Henry Thomas is extremely optimistic about Zhang Hao's prospects. Coupled with Zhang Hao's potential in terms of commercial valueit's worth a try!

    After listening to Henry Thomas¡¯s self-promotion, Zhang Hao pondered for a while, came up with an idea, and responded: ¡°Mr. Thomas, you are very discerning, and I really want to cooperate with you.

    ¡°But I want to change the approach. If you want to open your own brokerage company, why don¡¯t we open a brokerage company together"

 Chapter 41 41. I want to wear No. 8 (Happy New Year, please vote!)

    Pelinka's side was full of enthusiasm to poach Henry Thomas and actively prepared their company, while Zhang Hao's side was promised a normal player salary + a commission from endorsement fees, and took the initiative to take out the rookie contract.  After that, I stopped paying attention to this matter.

    He was willing to pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars because he wanted to find two reliable people to help him solve off-site problems. Building a company was a good way, but since it was entrusted to him, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

    He provided the start-up capital, and others contributed their efforts if they had the ability and strength.

    ¡°For the time being, we are just paving the road, and there is no telling whether it will be used or not.

    If you want to use it, you have to work hard.

    If you don¡¯t do well in the NBA, all your efforts will be in vain.

    Having settled this matter, Zhang Hao no longer focused on it.

    At this stage, what he wants is a work partner who doesn¡¯t need to be wary of him all the time.

    As the saying goes, use people without suspicion and don¡¯t use people without suspicion. If the agent is like Charles Banks, who needs to be careful at all times, it will be too tiring.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of nowhere, he wasn¡¯t talking nonsense.

    He continued to study and train peacefully, and at the same time, he also began to prepare for the next life in New Jersey and investigate there.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s heart dropped when he received the information under Pelinka¡¯s investigation.

    He also thought that the town of Rutherford, where the Nets' home stadium, the Continental Airlines Arena, is located, is the same town in Inglewood, New Jersey, where he currently lives, where the Lakers' home court, the Great Western Forum is.  A big town. After all, New Jersey is one of the richest states in the United States, with per capita income ranking among the highest in the United States. There are more than 1,300 large-scale enterprises in 20,000 square kilometers of land

    But after a survey, I found out that New Jersey is the fourth unhappiest state in the United States!

    And Rutherford Town is one of the ¡°poorest¡± places in Jersey City!

    This poverty is not really poor, but in Jersey City, Rutherford Town is indeed an area with a relatively lower income.

    People in Jersey City are elites. They think about how to make money all day long. The best place for leisure is the bar.

    Earn more, but the overall price of goods in this state ranks among the highest in the United States. The consumption level in several big cities is even comparable to that of tourist cities. The cost of living here is extremely high, causing everyone to be under great pressure, which in turn drives up the  The growth of bars and gambling industries.

    But looking at it this way, people here at least have high incomes and strong spending power.

    However, high income and high spending power have nothing to do with the town of Rutherford. This town does not even have a true star-rated hotel. In a survey of NBA players, it ranked first among players' favorite away games.  .

    At the same time, Zhang Hao also saw in that report that the second most disliked away game among players was the Timberwolves¡¯ home target center.

    "One of our high school rookies went to the worst home court, and the other went to the second-to-last home court Oh, no, it's because people from other teams don't like to play in New Jersey and Minnesota. It's not necessarily that bad there.  .¡±

    Zhang Hao tried very hard to comfort himself.

    Instead of studying that city, Zhang Hao focused on getting to know the players on the same team. Starting on September 2, the Nets quickly signed many players, completed two transactions, and quickly assembled the roster.  .

    The lockout this offseason has long been determined, so by the time of the draft after the finals, many trades have already been made.

    It¡¯s just a small fuss now. Every team in the league is fully prepared for the shutdown, so they dare to press the shutdown button decisively.

    On September 15th, as agreed, after giving the first installment of a check of US$50,000 to Pelinka and signing the capital injection contract, Zhang Hao said goodbye to April Clark and headed to Jersey City.

    A new life begins!

    "Kobe Bryant, a senior high school student, defeated No. 3 pick Jerry Stackhouse with 101 goals to 91 goals in a three-hour one-on-one duel Isn't it too miserable for Stackhouse?  It has become a stepping stone for Kobe!

    It seems that Kobe is really taken seriously by NBA teams. Is this one-on-one duel?

    ¡°I remember our Nets were going to draft him next year, but he directly said he wouldn¡¯t come"

    On the morning of September 16th, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jersey City, Zhang Hao was eating morning tea and reading the newspaper. It was yesterday¡¯s sports news. The headline was that Kobe Bryant defeated Stackhouse.

    The news is like this, the 76ers started to carry out activities to stimulate the market. Since Barkley left the 76ers, the 76ers market has been relatively sluggish. There has been no news in the past few months due to the shutdown, so we invitedAmong the geniuses from the city's colleges and high schools, 76ers coach John Lucas arranged for Kobe and Stackhouse to play against each other. Kobe suggested that the person who scored 10 more goals than the opponent would win, and then the two of them competed.  I played solo for 3 hours

    ? ? 3 hours, such a one-on-one, even if it is an NBA player, Zhang Hao feels that few people can beat Kobe.

    Stackhouse was exhausted simply by relying on physical strength!

    But this also requires Kobe to have the ability to not be 10 goals ahead by Stackhouse who is full of physical strength in one-on-one, and then rely on physical strength to wear down Stackhouse, and finally win the one-on-one.

    Zhang Hao seemed to be able to feel Stackhouse's despair in the three-hour duel from the news

    After a few months, after truly integrating into this era, Zhang Hao learned more and more about the basketball world, and finally understood how much attention Kobe received in this era. Although Kobe has had a very big reputation since high school.  Controversial, but in terms of exposure alone, many NBA stars are not as good as him.

    After breakfast, I packed my things, put several large boxes of luggage in the car with the help of hotel staff, and headed to Rutherford Town.

    Eighty percent of this large amount of luggage was what his parents asked him to bring when he came to the United States to study. Many items were never used, but he didn't throw them away. Now that he was going to a new city, although he  I thought about throwing them all away when I left Los Angeles, but in the end I took them all with me.

    Although he has seen a lot of bad reviews about the Nets, especially where the Nets are located, the reviews are very bad. Zhang Hao felt very bad since he arrived in Jersey City yesterday afternoon. When he first arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, he heard  Fans who recognized him pointed and pointed, so early this morning, they paid a small tip and asked the hotel staff to help rent a car and report to the Nets early.

    When the car drove out of the city, passed through an industrial area, and entered an agricultural area, Zhang Hao was no longer calm Fortunately, a few minutes later, another house appeared. It was sparse, but at least it could be seen that there were not many people.  , on the contrary, the population density is even greater than that of the suburbs of Los Angeles. After all, New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the United States.

    Finally, we arrived at the town center of Rutherford, which consists of several streets.

    The landmark building is the Continental Airlines Arena, the home arena of the Nets.

    Through the pictures he saw after entering the boundary of Rutherford Town, Zhang Hao constructed a general situation of Rutherford Town in his mind. It is a large area of ??agricultural land. The houses on the land are chaotic but densely planned, surrounded by several streets.  The tallest building in the town center is a 16-story hotel. Zhang Hao knew from the Nets travel guide that this is a business hotel known as a 4-star hotel. It is claimed to be a 4-star business hotel but does not have a star rating.  kind¡­¡­

    Compared with Jersey City¡¯s highly developed manufacturing and transportation industries, Rutherford Town is a densely populated agricultural town.

    To be more direct, this is an urban-rural fringe!

 Chapter 42 42. Genius!  Absolute genius!  (Asking for a guaranteed monthly pass!)

    ? Butch Baird is a scout and consultant. He is not that good as a head coach. The team¡¯s more outstanding rookie is

    However, his analytical skills and vision are very good. This can be seen from the Nets draft in the last seven or eight years. The players he recommended for the Nets to select in the first round are usually not bad, and parallel imports are rare times  It doesn't matter which wheel he plays, he loves gambling.

    Having previously received an invitation from Reggie Theus to watch the Adidas Training Camp Classic, he was shocked by Zhang Hao's performance in actual combat.

    Top-level athletic ability + extremely stable actual shooting, these two points, he regards Zhang Hao as a draft target.

    Although he did not send an invitation to Zhang Hao for a trial training, he really investigated Zhang Hao carefully and clearly understood Zhang Hao¡¯s characteristics during the draft¡ª¡ª

    ??The small forward position has top mobility, excellent jumping, and accurate mid-range shots; his shortcomings are thinness and monotonous skills. It is doubtful whether he can adapt to NBA-level confrontation

    " However, if it is just a No. 9 pick and a pitcher trained in the direction of Reggie Miller, as long as Zhang Hao can become a top-level mid-range shooter in the NBA, this pick will not be a loss!  After all, losing weight can be improved, and Zhang Hao is only 18 years old.

    And Zhang Hao also has good athletic ability, and he can have the athletic ability of the high school dunk king.

    To sum up, Butch Baird initially believed that Zhang Hao had the potential to become an All-Star player.

    Therefore, Butch Baird decisively took Zhang Hao with the ninth pick. Later, the Lakers wanted to trade Ceballos for Zhang Hao, but he worked hard to get the team to reject the deal. They had Almon  - Gilliam is the same type of impact player as Ceballos. As long as Zhang Hao can play well, his role in the Nets and future team building plans will be much stronger than Ceballos.

    ??A pitcher with excellent athletic ability and off-ball play, as long as he can play in the NBA, every team will want him.

    An All-Star level running shooter, on a strong team, is even more effective than a ball-holding superstar!

    But Butch Baird didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Hao would grow again in the summer when he turned 18, growing by almost three inches, but it didn¡¯t affect his speed!

    That¡¯s okay. Growing taller doesn¡¯t affect your speed. Although it¡¯s surprising, it¡¯s not a rare thing.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s strength has also improved, and it has improved so much that Butch Baird suspected that the weight of the barbell was wrong.

    The standard 185 pounds is the 84 kilogram level of bench press. This year's 58 rookies, the average number of bench press times counted during the draft was 9.2 times. The weight and number of times are not very good. After all, the players participating in the draft are all 18 years old.  By the age of 23, there is no real professional athlete level strength training, and some players are even still developing.

    Zhang Hao, during the trial training, the bench press test was 6 times, which is much lower than those forward players coming out of college, but it is not particularly bad. There was also a situation where a high-ranking rookie could not bench press 84 kilograms even once.

    The key is Zhang Hao¡¯s bench press test just now, the number of times was 20 times!  It looks like there¡¯s still room left!

    By this time, Butch Baird was already worried that Zhang Hao's playing style had completely changed. However, in the following shooting training, Zhang Hao was still so good.

    He has grown taller, his strength has improvedhis athletic ability and shooting ability have not been greatly affected!

    In terms of shooting, Zhang Hao has to practice hard to maintain his shooting ability so that his shooting is not affected by changes in strength. In other words, it has already been affected, but he has eliminated the effect through training.

    In terms of athletic ability and flexibility, the most buggy point of the growth card is revealed - during the use of the growth card, the negative effects that should have been brought about by strength improvement, height growth, etc. are all minimized or even eliminated!

    Combining strength, speed, flexibility, and shooting touch Zhang Hao's talent makes Butch Baird unable to stop being amazed!

    Although the ball control is inferior to that of NBA-level perimeter players, his technical skills are extremely poor, especially the fact that he does not hold the ball, which makes it impossible for Zhang Hao to become the core of the team alone.

    But as a pitcher, whether you can control the ball is not particularly important.

    Not every player on the team must be able to hold the ball.

    On the contrary, no team does not need this kind of player who does not need to hold the ball.

    genius!

    A true super genius!

    When Butch Baird saw Zhang Hao¡¯s physical test report, his hands were shaking.

    It is true that Zhang Hao's current strength is still relatively average, and he has the disadvantage of never playing in an adult game, and he has a serious lack of game experience.

    It is my first time to come into contact with professional basketball, but I immediately stepped onto the NBA stage

    From all aspects, ZhangThere is still a high chance that Haodu will not be able to fight.

    Not to mention a No. 9 pick, even this year¡¯s No. 1 pick may not be able to play.

    But Zhang Hao already has the conditions to win!

    The probability of hitting it is far higher than Butch Baird originally expected.

    Butch Baird just started gambling. He likes to gamble. Compared with most players participating in this year's draft, they have obvious upper limits. Players like Garnett and Zhang Hao whose upper limits are more uncertain, although the lower limit may also be ridiculously low, but  He thought it was worth the gamble.

    Now, there is a high probability that the bet is right!

    ¡­¡­

    Butch Baird needs to calm down.

    Zhang Hao was in a good mood after the test. He showed all his strengths. This is the best situation for him, at least he did not perform abnormally.

    Seeing the opportunity for teammates to come, Zhang Hao already knew who these teammates were from the information given by Pelinka.

    The team¡¯s core player Kenny Anderson, backup shooting guard Greg Graham, 84 golden generation veteran substitute Vaughn Fleming, and backup power forward Jason Williams.

    These four teammates returned to the team early. Among them, Kenny Anderson¡¯s image is different from what Zhang Hao knows. He is so fat

    "Why is he a little fat guy again? Can the difference between photos and real people be so big these days?"

    After scolding for a while, Zhang Hao took the initiative to go up and greet several teammates.

    Among them, Greg Graham and Vaughan Fleming gave Zhang Hao a friendly hug.

    Graham is a very restrained young defender, 1.93 cm tall and thin, only 83 kg. He was a first-round pick in the 1993 draft and is about to start his third season. He has average strength, good athletic ability, and is good at guarding off the ball.  , on the offensive end, there are only shots that sometimes work and sometimes don't work.

    After the lockout ended, because Graham signed a five-year rookie contract and was not well received by the 76ers, when the Nets traded Coleman away, they brought Graham back and prepared to scrape him.  Scratch the lottery ticket. Graham will be 25 years old at the end of November. Some players may break out when they are 25 years old. Anyway, Graham's rookie contract is not expensive.

    Fleming is also a player signed back by the Nets after the lockout. He is 33 years old and close to retirement. He has played with the Pacers for the past 11 years. He has never been a star, but he is experienced and good at catching and shooting.

    These two people are relatively friendly to Zhang Hao. In his opinion, everyone is new here, so they naturally have to stick together for warmth.

    But Jason Williams, a tough guy power forward, was not so friendly to Zhang Hao. He greeted Zhang Hao with a cold expression and left on the pretext of training.

    The two new players are friendly to Zhang Hao, and Jason Williams seems to dislike Zhang Hao Zhang Hao can guess the reason for both cases.

    But the other one, Zhang Hao, was confused

    "Zhang, Ax, right? It's Ax, right? I'm Kenny, and from today on, I'm your big brother! I'll protect you! Don't pay attention to that muscle mass, he's jealous of you, he's worried  You took away his playing time, but I am also very jealous of you. How did you practice your shooting? And you can actually bench press 20 times! Wow, I really can¡¯t tell"

 Chapter 43 43. What should I do if my talent is higher than expected?  (Please recommend monthly tickets!)

    The apartment is not bad. There is a 6-story building a block away. There are 24 houses in total. Each apartment is quite large. The landlord said that the building was only repaired for 8 years and was renovated a year ago.

    Zhang Hao can also see that the furniture is very new.

    There are also disadvantages, that is, there is no such thing as a community in the United States, and there is no such thing as greening. The property management company cleans the public health once a week. Temporary cleaning requires additional charges. I estimate that it is not as good as domestic property companies with good services. Labor is extremely expensive.  Fortunately, he doesn't care about the ten or twenty dollars spent every time for temporary cleaning.

    The biggest advantage is that this apartment is equipped with security, which is not available in most apartments in the United States.

    Housekeeping companies, laundries, supermarkets and arenas are nearby, which is very convenient.

    Generally speaking, Zhang Hao is very satisfied with his new home. It has three rooms, a living room and two bathrooms. The largest room is the bedroom and the smallest is the study room. The medium-sized room is empty. He plans to buy some simple fitness equipment.  , get up in the morning and exercise.

    The landlord is also very satisfied with players like Zhang Hao renting a house and is not afraid of rent arrears.

    What landlords in the United States fear most is rent arrears. Due to the rules of renting in the United States, if a landlord maliciously refuses to pay rent, he has no way to evict the landlord and can only file a lawsuit. Although he can eventually take the house back, he can also get it.  The rent was owed, but the litigation took too long. Basically, all the money recovered was lawyer fees, which was equivalent to living in vain. Many people have no choice but to hope that the other party will make money when encountering this kind of thing.  My conscience found that I paid the rent I owed.

    With the help of the team staff, a lot of luggage was moved to the living room. Zhang Hao also brought bedding and other things. After Zhang Hao made the bed first, he just lay on the bed without wanting to move. He did the rest slowly  ¡­

    At this moment, he once again felt the loneliness and loneliness he had felt when he first came to the United States.

    It is inevitable to jump from a familiar environment to an unfamiliar one.

    After a restful night, Zhang Hao got up the next morning and saw that he had 294 days left to live. Zhang Hao cheered up again.

    "Train well, play hard, and strive to become the main force! Have a long career!"

    The pressure to survive makes Zhang Hao¡¯s goal simple and pure, making it easier to find a direction.

    Breakfast is the time to read the newspaper. Zhang Hao knows that in any era, information is very important.

    Since the lockout ended, the popularity of NBA has remained high in the sports circle. There are questions about whether Jordan is still the strongest player, which Jordan's successor is the most powerful, and whether Olajuwon can complete three consecutive championships and surpass Jordan to become the greatest active player.  Players and other topics are very popular.

    ????????????????????Compared with the 1995 rookies whose talents have been mediocre in the past few years, how will they perform in their rookie season?

    There is no authoritative player strength ranking these days, but all major media will rank their own stars. In addition, there is a debate about who is the best player in the league.

    Today, one of the hottest topics in the basketball world is the Chicago Daily¡¯s rookie classification.

    T1 rookies, Stackhouse and Damon Stoudemire.

    T2 rookies, Joe Smith, Antonio McDyess, Rasheed Wallace, Garnett.

    Zhang Hao saw that he was not classified as one of the top two rookies.

    Although quite unhappy, which player doesn¡¯t want to be well evaluated?  However, from a rational point of view, Zhang Hao hopes that he will not be taken too seriously by his opponents.

    It seems that the team pays more attention to him, otherwise it would not select him as a high school student with the 9th overall pick. The team also needs players with his style of play, and his style of play has relatively good shooting ability in the current team.  In a deficient team, he estimates that he will have to seize the opportunity as soon as he gets the chance to show off his shooting ability. In this way, if his opponents underestimate him, he will have a better chance.

    The wretched development is the king!

    Zhang Hao felt that he should adjust the way he did things. Before the draft, he naturally acted in a high-profile manner, just to be in the limelight and to let others know his existence. But after being selected, because of his wretched development, don't be fooled these days.  Those superstars are eyeing

    One advantage of living near the arena is that you can apply for the team¡¯s nutritious breakfast. Although it is not delicious, it is indeed good for the athletes¡¯ health.

    When Zhang Hao applied for nutritious breakfast, the trainer had a strange expression.

    The trainer feels that Zhang Hao, who is as tall as a power forward but only 95 kilograms, needs to increase his weight.

    But his strength is so wild, and he is strong in static confrontation, not explosive, and he doesn¡¯t seem to need to gain weight.?¡­So it is still troublesome to prepare nutritious meals for Zhang Hao. There are more things to consider and discussions with players and coaches.

    For the trainers who are responsible for nutritious meal matching, their biggest headache is not the kind of players like Kenny Anderson who play themselves fat and are not as thin as ribs. For such players, it is actually very simple to arrange their diet.

    On the contrary, the more self-disciplined and better the physical condition of the players, the more troublesome it is to arrange these things.

    And this is also a headache for the coaching staff. After Zhang Hao arrived at the arena at 8:30 in the morning, Butch Baird and his chief assistant Randy Whitman were both having a headache. How to arrange Zhang Hao's training?

    Zhang Hao's basic mid-range shooting skills are almost perfect. At Zhang Hao's mid-range shooting level, it is no longer necessary to rely on other people's guidance to become more accurate. It is directly time to conduct team training or even rely on games to find the possibility of improvement. Perhaps,  At this level, there is no room for improvement.

    "A skill does not mean that it will become stronger if you keep practicing. Most people will not get better after practicing to their own limit, and most people's upper limit is not high.

    But not all the players have returned to the team yet, and it is impossible to require all players to return to the team for a rookie. According to the rules, before the start of the training camp, it is the players' vacation time. The team has no right to require players to return to the team early unless they are well-disciplined.  , or a team that is very comfortable in terms of life in the city where the team is located can bring deterrence. Otherwise, if someone does not return to the team early, the coaching staff will have no choice. For Coleman, there is only a trade and no other way.

    Originally, there was no need to think so much. Butch Baird¡¯s original plan was to start strength training after Zhang Hao came back. Who knew that Zhang Hao¡¯s strength would improve to such a level in the past summer.

    There are no conditions for practicing team play, and strength training seems to be redundant. Zhang Hao seems to have his own methods in this regard and has strong control over his body

    After Randy Whitman received the task assigned by Butch Baird yesterday, which was to formulate a training plan based on Zhang Hao's current situation, he had a headache all night. He still couldn't think of a good way, so he could only ask tentatively.  : "Butch, why don't you let Akers broaden his shooting range? Or let Vaughn teach him running positions?

    In fact, I think that actual combat is the best way to find the direction of progress for Aix.

    We know too little about his game. We only have some video clips, which were taken by the high school team cameraman. The complete game is only in the Adidas Classic, but few of the players on our team have that group of kids in high school.  talent.  "

    This is where Butch Baird has a headache. Zhang Hao is far more mature than he expected.

    Fortunately, in just half a month, Butch Baird said: "Let Vaughn guide Akers to practice running positions"

    ¡­¡­

    In the afternoon, Butch Baird returned to the office after lunch and looked at the list and information of players who may participate in the draft next year sent back by the scouts. Things like the draft require preparation in advance, and they need to be prepared from the beginning.  Predict which talents will participate in the draft, and then pay attention to the inspection. Some teams even plan to conduct the draft three or four years in advance.

    ¡°You are not afraid of wasting your efforts on this kind of thing, but you are afraid that the preparations are not sufficient.

    Seeing that he was addicted to smoking, Butch Baird was going to go to the smoking area of ??the arena to see if anyone had a cigarette with him. You can also smoke in the office, but he has this habit. When smoking, he likes to give away a cigarette.  Others smoke together.

    As a result, when I arrived at the smoking area, I saw a player who was supposed to be at the training ground.

    Vaughan-Fleming is puffing away with a doubtful expression on his face

    Butch Baird asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Vaughn? Is it because Akers is difficult to teach? Or is he unwilling to learn?"

    Vaughan-Fleming shook his head: "Akers likes to learn very much. He also respects me and is very humble in learning from me."

    "ah?"

    "But I can't teach it! This kid works too hard. He seems to have been studying movement without the ball. He knows more movement methods than I know!"

 Chapter 44 44. We are indeed a fish belly (please give me a monthly recommendation!)

    By September 26, the Nets signed Robert Wodan, the 15th player on the team's roster, and the 15-man roster was full.

    Except for Robert Wodan who has not yet returned to the team, the other 14 players on the team have returned.

    Another day of movement training without the ball has passed. Zhang Hao came to the Nets for movement training for 9 consecutive days.

    Unlike the various running route training in the past few days, starting from the 5th day, it is repeated training every day.

    Randy Whitman selected running routes that were close to the team tactics he developed from those running routes trained by Zhang Hao for intensive training.

    ? This kind of training was already boring, but now it has become even more boring.

    It was so boring that even Kenny Anderson admired Zhang Hao's patience. He made repeated moves over and over again, all of which were catching and shooting. It was so boring that he didn't know whether Zhang Hao could persevere like a glutton for it.

    He himself feels that he will definitely not be able to persist. He still likes to play with the ball. He can play without the ball, but he is definitely not like Zhang Hao without the ball.

    After the training, Randy Whitman called Zhang Hao to the office. Without any greetings, he said directly: "Akers, you have to understand one thing. The running tactics you practiced are not our team's tactics. They are just  It's a process for you to develop your own movement without the ball, and then you still have to relearn the team's tacticsyou have to adapt to the movement of your teammates, and players without the ball need to accommodate the team, do you understand?"

    Very direct

    This is the 11th day that Zhang Hao has known Randy Whitman. Compared with Butch Baird's coaching attitude, which can be called casual, Zhang Hao feels that Randy Whitman is more like a coach.

    Meticulous is not enough to describe Randy Whitman. When it comes to dealing with matters related to the team, Randy Whitman can be described as strict.

    Of course, you are not only strict with others, but also strict with yourself.

    So Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with Randy Whitman. This is because of his character. He is a dedicated and hard-working coach.

    "I understand that this is just laying the foundation for me, and I still have more to learn."

    Zhang Hao knows that the team cannot directly change the team's originally planned tactics for him. The team's tactics must take into account more people on the team, mainly the core ball-holding core. A player like him who plays without the ball would originally  It means adjusting according to the playing style of the core holding the ball.

    It is rare that the team is willing to find ways to help her train before the training camp.

    Randy Whitman looked at Zhang Hao's reaction and nodded imperceptibly in approval.

    Randy Whitman has no opinion on who Butch Baird should pick.

    Randy Whitman has no problem with Butch Baird paying extra attention and care after selecting a rookie. If he chooses a player himself, he feels that he will also take extra care.

    But it was Zhang Hao who fought for him to be satisfied with Zhang Hao.

    Randy Whitman is quite satisfied with Zhang Hao during the past 9 days of training.

    Zhang Hao was still waiting for Randy Whitman to continue speaking, but after waiting for a long time, no one spoke

    ""

    ""

    "Then I'm leaving first?"

    "good."

    ""

    ¡­¡­

    Although I admire Randy Whitman¡¯s concentration and seriousness, especially when compared with Butch Baird, Randy Whitman is really outstanding.

    However, Zhang Hao found it difficult to communicate with Randy Whitman!

    He heard that Butch Baird and Randy Whitman had a very good relationship, which made it even more difficult for him to understand that these two people with very different personalities had a very good relationship

    But thinking about himself and Pierce Zhang Hao felt that it wasn't that difficult to accept.

    Another night passed, and on September 27th, everyone at the Nets finally gathered for the new season!

    When Zhang Hao came to the team in the morning, he saw Robert Wodan who was undergoing a physical test, and the player detection system was turned on.

    "The team lineup of the special contract player Zhang Hao has been completed. The player detection mode is turned on. The Nets player ability evaluation can be viewed. The host can use the player detection mode to provide guidance to the special contract player Zhang Hao."

    "Robert Wotan, 25 years old, 211 cm tall, 113 kg in weight, ability rating 57"

    This was the 19th pick in the second round in 1992. He signed a rookie contract for one year, and no team wanted him after he finished. He went to Europe to play for two years and performed well. At the age of 25, he was eliminated by the Nets.  Signed back.

    ? It¡¯s fun to scratch lottery tickets for a while, and it¡¯s always fun to scratch lottery tickets. Last year, I got gram?I really dare to say - I can do it!

    ¡°Guards: Kenny Anderson, 25 years old, ability evaluation 84; Chris Childs, 27 years old, ability evaluation 79; Kharid Levis, 23 years old, ability evaluation 65;

    Kevin Edwards, 31 years old, ability rating 75; Vaughn Fleming, 33 years old, ability rating 69; Greg Graham, 25 years old, ability rating 69; Rex Waters, 25  Years old, ability evaluation is 59.

    Forwards: Almon Gilliam, 31 years old, ability evaluation 80; Tim Perry, 31 years old, ability evaluation 61; Gerald Glass, 28 years old, ability evaluation 57;

    pj-Brown, 26 years old, ability evaluation 75; Jason Williams, 27 years old, ability evaluation 73.

    Center: Yinka Dell, 23 years old, injured; Robert Wodan, 25 years old, ability evaluation 57.  "

    After reading the evaluations of his teammates¡¯ abilities, Zhang Hao¡¯s heart dropped.

    It¡¯s so true!  Too cruel!

    These teammates, in addition to rebounding maniac Jason Williams' rebounding ability is above 95, assist defense PJ Brown's defense is above 85, Kenny Anderson and Childs pass the ball above 85, Almon Gee  Liem has strong scoring ability at close range and strong strength Others are not the type with distinctive characteristics and top strengths like Zhang.

    In other words, except for a few people, most of the teammates are mediocre or even bad!

 Chapter 45 45. Born to be a leader (please vote for monthly recommendations!)

    As the media day unfolds, more than a dozen Chinese media outlets that have obtained visas with the help of NBA officials began to enter the Continental Airlines Arena for interviews one after another after the training and shooting at the imperial court.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s entry into the NBA is really a matter of pride for domestic media people who are engaged in the basketball reporting industry.

    Sports fans have a strong sense of participation and involvement. Media people who are engaged in work related to this project have a stronger sense of participation and involvement. Perhaps they hope that basketball will become more popular around the world more than many basketball players. They can be like  Football fans proudly say that the sport they love is the most popular sport in the world.

    ??Also, finally a domestic basketball player has entered the NBA. From a certain perspective, Zhang Hao has become a "link", allowing a large number of domestic media to get the opportunity to sign and work in the United States.

    Working in the United States means a high salary This is also the reason why the media took the initiative to make friends with Zhang Hao.

    It¡¯s money, everyone makes it together, and it doesn¡¯t affect each other¡¯s making money.

    The Nets are very happy to have so many reporters coming to interview, but the management does not pay special attention to it because most of the reporters who come are from China and Asia.

    Most team owners don't have much expectations for overseas markets. Now the NBA is still spending money to develop overseas markets. In Asia, South Korea and Japan have given broadcasting fees, but they are not much. Only South Korea and Japan  Japan habitually "pays protection fees" in various fields, and China's broadcasts are even free. Football is the most watched sport in Asia.

    The same goes for the Nets. They don¡¯t think this means anything, but having so many media come to interview is a good thing to increase the enthusiasm of the players. There are many players who are eager to be in the news and to be noticed.

    In the domestic sports world, after Zhang Hao was selected by the Nets, the Nets, a completely unknown team in China, have become very famous in China. Even the latest addition, Yinka Dell, has been collected by domestic sports media.  Make reports.

    I don¡¯t know how many times the Nets¡¯ strength and other aspects have been discussed Most of them are just random discussions, just like the discussion in the original time and space that the Yao-Mai combination is regarded as the favorite to win the championship by the domestic media every year.

    Kenny Anderson, who is regarded by the domestic media as the new boss of the Nets, gave Zhang Hao very high praise: "Akers is the most talented pitcher I have ever seen, and he will definitely become a star pitcher, and he  With his athletic ability, the two of us are very suitable. I believe that with my experience and ability, I will help him find his rhythm in the NBA early"

    Saying good things about Chinese players will definitely give a very good impression to the reporters from the Chaoting Channel. Domestic reporters have a characteristic. They often treat foreign players with great kindness. After Kenny Anderson answered like this, the reporters from the Chaoting Channel began  Questions about Kenny Anderson. This is a talented second pick who has been a first-line point guard for the past two years. There are many questions to ask, and of course they will be asked about Zhang Hao from time to time.

    "Those who compete with Zhang Hao are not so polite. Some players with good personalities just deal with it casually, which is okay and the interview can go on smoothly.

    But some people are unhappy with Zhang Hao and feel that Zhang Hao is a threat. It is a pleasure to have reporters interview, especially after playing for the Nets for several years, they are more eager for reporters to interview. Many players like the news, but  The question he was asked was about Zhang Hao, so he was not happy. Although he was still concerned about being a teammate and did not forcefully say bad things when he was not familiar with him, when he answered the question about Zhang Hao, he was obviously impatient and  hostility¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao first accepted an exclusive interview with Chaotingdai, and then Guangdong Sports. These two media may have reached a cooperation intention with the NBA official. The questions were very conventional, and they were an interview style to promote Zhang Hao¡¯s Nets team.

    The last one I interviewed was the American Cable TV High School Special.

    Garnett is also one of the special features, along with Sean Kemp, an active player, and three retired high school players, Moses Malone, Darryl Dawkins, and Bill Willoughby.

    Although high school rookies are often questioned, they are a very good topic of speculation. The popularity will not be low. Moreover, the success rate of high school rookies is actually very high. High school players before Zhang Hao and Garnett  , that is, Bill Willoughby has never been a main player.

    This media was not so friendly. They asked very tricky questions about Zhang Hao's status as a high school player and a Chinese player.

    Pelinka has already anticipated this and has already agreed with Zhang Hao on how to answer.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together

    At 11 a.m., the interview ended and Xu Jicheng found Zhang Hao.

    &nbsProbabilities will determine chances of performance in the preseason.

    Zhang Hao is also very excited, he is finally going to play a game!

    This is his second game after cheating, and his hands are already itchy!

    As an off-ball pitcher, he is really not good at one-on-one. During team training, if it is the part of the tactics that is related to him, he will have a chance to perform, but in other aspects of the tactics, he will not have the chance to perform.  More, just like when I participated in the trial training.

    He still remembers what Scott Collins said when he "lured" him into the draft - only real games are the time for him to perform!

    Furthermore, he is also eager to test his long-term training results through training matches.

    Just when Zhang Hao was very excited and looking forward to the afternoon training match, the subtitle prompt came!

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao has started the NBA rookie season training camp and will usher in his first team training after joining the Nets.

    The starting point of your career should be to strive for the first place, and the mission: set sail is triggered.  "

    "Set sail:

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to strive to start in the regular season opener through his performance in training camp and preseason games and score the highest score in the game.

    Goal 2: If Zhang Hao fails to start in the regular season opener, he must score the highest score among all substitute players in the regular season opener.

    Rewards: For completing goal 1, the reward medal is: Homecoming (Silver); for completing goal 2, the reward medal is: Bench Bandit (Bronze).  "

 Chapter 46 46. A gentleman¡¯s revenge (please vote for me and recommend me!)

    At 3:29 pm, after preparing for the final discussions before the game, Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Graham, Levis, and PJ Brown came to the court.

    On the opposite side, Childs, Gilliam, Jason Williams, Vaughn Fleming, and Kevin Edwards also came to the court.

    In terms of the strongest player, Zhang Hao feels that their Kenny Anderson is definitely the strongest on the team, but it¡¯s hard to say who is stronger among the two lineups. Childs has played in Europe for several years, and his positional and offensive organization  Very good. The two veterans Edwards and Fleming are the best substitutes for their team's forward and defensive line. Gilliam's peak singles ability in the team is unmatched, and Jason Williams is quite good.  Tough inside.

    The biggest advantage of their A team is that they are young and energetic.

    ¡°Gogogo, go up, let¡¯s kill those guys on the other side!¡±

    Kenny Anderson has always longed to be the boss. He wants to confirm his status from the beginning, and training games will begin to work hard for this.

    Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, one infected his teammates with his temperament, and the other guided his teammates with his words. The five players of Team A all ignited a strong fighting spirit!

    pj Brown and Jason Williams came to the center circle and looked at each other with fighting spirit in their eyes.

    These two people are actually competitors, or in other words, these two people and Zhang Hao are competitors with each other, but pj Brown chose to join Kenny Anderson's camp, because while the three of them are competitors with each other, Zhang Hao can also compete with the two of them.  Either of them are partners, both of them are athletic and defensive players, and Zhang Hao is an off-ball shooter. If you really want to say it, Zhang Hao can cooperate with both of them.

    At 3:30, the trainer who served as the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air, and the training match began.

    After the game started, the biggest difference between this game and Zhang Hao's expectations was immediately revealed - the intensity and level of the game far exceeded his expectations!  The other 9 players on the field were no weaker than any of his opponents in the previous games!

    He was a little confused after the game started. Any one of these players would be stronger than the opponents he faced before in terms of coordination and experience.

    It was not as easy as he expected to get rid of the defense. When he was running in the mid-range, his opponents were strictly guarding him because of the mid-range shooting ability he showed in training. They would rather miss other people than  I am willing to give him a chance to make a mid-range shot.

    On the defensive end, his lack of ability and experience is also obvious.

    Fortunately, Kenny Anderson used the threat of his mid-range shot to create good shooting opportunities for his teammates outside the three-point line and cutting to the basket. For a while, the two teams seemed to be evenly matched.

    Team A relies on speed, Zhang Hao¡¯s containment, and Kenny Anderson¡¯s control; Team B relies on Childs¡¯ positional warfare offensive sorting ability, and Gilliam¡¯s ability to hit the basket and positional combat singles ability.

    Butch Baird watched the training match from the sidelines and analyzed the situation of the two teams. It can be seen that for Team A, with the restraint of Zhang Hao and PJ Brown, one outside and one inside, Kenny Anderson organized the offense very well.  ; As for the B team, Childs' positional warfare offensive organization is indeed first-rate.

    However, all of this is based on the fact that this is just an intra-team training match. That is, the two teams can play so harmoniously only when their overall strength is almost the same. Once the opponent's strength reaches the playoff level, they will probably fight back.  There is no power at all.

    ??Also, once something goes wrong with key players of both teams, they will not be able to maintain this kind of performance.

    No, Zhang Hao, who had no chance to score for a while, started to get impatient.

    He is not used to it. He is not used to this kind of situation where he has no shooting opportunities. He has been the team's second-leading scorer since his junior year of high school. In his senior year of high school, he often even scored higher than Pierce. In the Adidas Training Camp Classic, he was also the top scorer in the game.  He scored the highest score. He was really not used to this situation. So, his running rhythm was messed up and he started sprinting at full speed regardless of it. Finally, he got an open opportunity. Kenny Anderson also seized the opportunity to pass the ball.  In his hands.

    but!  The presence of a gap does not mean that it is an open shooting opportunity.

    An open shooting opportunity can only be called an open shooting opportunity when it combines many aspects such as space, rhythm, position, etc. This time, Zhang Hao can only say that he ran out of a gap and caught the ball with great shooting!

    Jason Williams grabbed the ball that bounced off the front of the basket. Team B quickly pressed on. The speed was not very fast, but the rhythm was very steady and the overall pressure was on.

    Jason Williams, who had just missed Zhang Hao's shot and grabbed the rebound, was very excited. After arriving in the frontcourt, he saw Zhang Hao retreating to the basket in panic. Jason Williams' eyes lit up and he accelerated.  Rush toward the basket!

    The person with the strongest athletic ability in team b is??I am really ready to play as a substitute, but now that I have begun to compete for the power forward position let's compete!

    Team A continued to attack. After returning to the court, Zhang Hao calmed down and continued to roam in the mid-range, looking for opportunities to catch and shoot, but he was not impatient anymore when he had no chance. Team B obviously did not let him go just because he made a mid-range shot.  Pass him.

    But this time, while Zhang Hao was looking for mid-range shooting opportunities, his horizons were broader, and he was also looking for another opportunity. It was during the first attack after the timeout that the opportunity came!  It was not as expected, but when Zhang Hao saw an entry line, he immediately rushed inside!

    On his teammate¡¯s side, Kenny Anderson had no choice but to pass the ball to Graham who had no real chance. Graham missed a three-point shot and the ball bounced high on the neck of the basket.

    Jason Williams was about to collect the rebound with P.J. Brown when he saw an opponent who was about the same height as him but thin and rushed in. Jason Williams was not afraid, bent his knees and prepared to explode.  He was ready for the confrontation, reaching for the ball with his right hand, ready to collect the rebound during the confrontation, and he was able to resist Zhang Hao's impact and collect the rebound, to show off his prowess.

    When it comes to rebounding, he is not afraid of anyone!

    However, when Jason Williams burst out, he was unable to rely on his tonnage to withstand Zhang Hao's impact as he expected. Instead, Zhang Hao, who was jumping, suppressed him tightly!

    Zhang Hao rushed into the paint and pushed the ball over Jason Williams into the basket!

    The training match is still going on, but in the following time, the main players are not replaced again.

    Zhang Hao stood on the sidelines and watched the remaining teammates on the court playing blindly Many players in the team were really too weak, weaker than expected.

    "Although my ability evaluation is only 69, it is because my skills are too simple and I only have an ability evaluation of 69. In terms of athletic ability, I may not be the best on the team, but I will not be among the top three, and my mid-range shot is  The strongest - I have two abilities that make me the best on the team!"

    Zhang Hao became excited again when he thought of this.

    "Except for me, Anderson, Childs, Edwards, Williams, Gilliam, and Brown, these six teammates are pretty good, but we have too few main players, only 6"

    There¡¯s no way around such a thing as the lineup!

    He tried sticking his butt out to see if he could win all directions In the end, he just changed his position and farted, but nothing happened.

    ??Also, Zhang Hao has thought about what is meant by ability evaluation based on the level shown in the game, and now he finally understands.

    The ability evaluation of other players is a very complicated division. What specific indicators are there-the ability to be displayed stably on the court?

    Anyway, Zhang Hao knows that the easiest way to evaluate his ability is to use the three major categories of physical fitness, technology, and shooting.

    ??And it doesn¡¯t have defense. If he doesn¡¯t want to defend, even if it¡¯s full 100, it¡¯s useless.

    ¡­¡­

    The result of the training match does not matter. What is important is that this training match has changed Zhang Hao's image in the minds of his teammates.

    On the side of Jason Williams Zhang Hao felt the fiery look in his eyes

    Zhang Hao really wanted to say something to him: "I really didn't expect you to be so soft. You can't get hard if I press you"

    ¡°The competition has already begun anyway, Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t care how angry and unhappy the other party is.

    If you really take away the opponent's playing time, the opponent will definitely be unhappy.

    But he will definitely fight for it!

    It¡¯s a pity that the opponent didn¡¯t give me a chance and ran away at the end of the game.

    Zhang Hao returned to the apartment, took a bath and lay down to rest. He thought about the feeling of throwing the ball into the basket over the head of an NBA player It was really wonderful!  Even though it was just a training match within the team.

    "But this is just a training match. If I play well, that means if I play well in the team training match, my defense will really be beaten by thousands of people"

    ¡°I just came out of high school, and my defense in high school relied on my body. After all, I was a rookie in the 1990s who played for five years.¡±

    ¡°I haven¡¯t formally learned defense yet¡­¡±

    "Okay, I still want to lose face, how can I say this?"

    Zhang Hao looked up at the stars at a 45-degree angle, trying not to shed tears.

    Food is food!

    Turning on the subtitles and watching the mission "Sail", he really wanted to win one of the two rewards of this mission.

    "It's hard to improve in a short period of time through training I should have reached the point where I need games to polish my off-the-ball play. I can't miss the golden finger reward"

    I thought silently in my mind to enter the study mode and fell asleep quickly.

    At the first second of the second day, Zhang Hao opened his eyes and came to the familiar room again.

    A TV, a sofa, a deskthe furnishings are still so simple.

    Picked up the book on the desk - "The Movement Master".

    "When can I learn more things? Forget it, I can't bite off more than I can chew. Let's get through what I know first. Competitions, training, and carrying things are really different."

    "I have to learn from a different angle. In the past, I kept memorizing it and thinking that it would be enough to memorize it. Now I should study based on our team's tactics here and integrate the running knowledge I memorized into the team.  In tactics, I find more space for me to play and more possibilities within the team¡¯s established movement routes and play styles.

    Our team¡¯s tactics are terrible, but this is the tactic we want to play. If we don¡¯t follow this, I won¡¯t have a good chance. Understanding this tactic first is more important than learning more moves in tactics!

    ?????????????????? Even if the team¡¯s tactics are average, it¡¯s just a tactic after all¡­ It¡¯s better than being in a completely bad team that doesn¡¯t even have a detailed tactic and the players with the ball just play by themselves!  "

    ¡­¡­

    After the training game, the Nets training camp officially started.

    The training of their Nets team is very relaxed. In addition to the necessary team training and the training of players who have been trained by the team,With the look in his eyes, Kenny Anderson felt that this guy was really weak sometimes

    Thinking of the talent Zhang Hao showed in the past three days, Kenny Anderson couldn't bear it!

    Taking a deep breath, with a Piccolo-like mentality, Kenny Anderson said: "You make me feel a little bit pressured, help me increase my motivation for training"

    This is said with some helplessness.

    Zhang Hao nodded and agreed.

    Since we have to fight one-on-one, we must know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can win every battle and decisively turn on the player detection system.

    "Kenny Anderson, 25 years old, height 183 cm, weight 84 kg, ability evaluation 84, offense 85, defense 70, passing 94, three-pointer 79, mid-range shot 81, layup 87, speed 92, strength 79  "

    I haven't watched it for a few days. Compared with a week ago, Kenny Anderson has lost 4 kilograms, and his strength rating has dropped below 80. However, the increase in speed is not as great as Zhang Hao imagined, and his shooting and other aspects have actually declined Obviously, short-term  The drastic weight change during this period of time affected Kenny Anderson's physical condition and technical status.

    This is a problem that needs to be solved in training camp and preseason.

    It¡¯s just that at 183 centimeters and 84 kilograms, I¡¯m still a little too fat.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that in the past two days, Zhang Hao found that Kenny Anderson¡¯s weight loss training seemed to be less serious.

    There is a high probability of losing in a one-on-one duel. The opponent can steal. After thinking about it, Zhang Hao said to Kenny Anderson: "Boss Kenny, I will definitely go all out to challenge you in a one-on-one mid-range shot."

    "Yes, we should take it seriouslyone-on-one mid-range shot? What do you mean?"

    A few minutes later, Kenny Anderson left the training ground cursing.

    A one-on-one mid-range shot is really a one-on-one mid-range shot. It can only be a mid-range shot and cannot be shot in other areas.

    He is 183 centimeters tall, and when the rookie on the opposite side lifts the ball and throws it, he can't even touch it!

    ?This game is so exciting that there is no gaming experience at all!

    "Aix, tonight is your first official game. Although there is no live broadcast, if you perform well, there will definitely be a video. The regular season opener will definitely be live broadcast, so you don't need to pay too much attention to this one.  Performance in the preseason Oh my god, I finally saw a Chinese player appear on the NBA court. I am so lucky to be the first official player of the Chinese player in the NBA.  Team reporter"

    During the warm-up, Xu Jicheng from Xinhua News Agency kept talking like he was going crazy.

    Then the warm-up was over, and at 5:15, when he was about to enter the stadium, another boss came and said casually: "Akers, the real NBA game is about to begin. Don't be too excited.  Don't be too anxious, take your time, adapt to the game first, it doesn't matter if you don't play well, learn from experience, and find ways to continue if you play well"

    Kenny Anderson considers himself a man who wants to be a big brother, so of course he has to do what a big brother should do.

    He always felt that Zhang Hao was too young to worry about, so he started to guide Zhang Hao and help Zhang Hao fight for it with the coaching staff and then gradually started to talk.

    The attribute of being a talkative is not something that can be achieved in a day. Kenny Anderson is still in the stage of thinking about it, but he has already developed into a talkative.

    It is a rare trait to make people worry easily. Zhang Hao has this trait. He can always make people around him unable to help but worry. Worrying people, as long as they are not withdrawn, are often talkative

    Zhang Hao has been accustomed to Pierce's nagging since he came to the United States. Xu Jicheng's nagging alone is not enough, plus Kenny Anderson's nagging. The combination of the two just makes Zhang Hao feel the game he was used to in high school.  front mode.

    There is an inexplicable sense of security

    At 5:20 in the evening, Zhang Hao entered the stadium with his teammates.

    Walking into the stadium, Zhang Hao looked at the nearly 20,000 fans, and it was full!

    Thinking about the ticket pricethe average ticket price is 8.6 US dollars

    "If two NBA teams come to our village to play a game, with such a ticket price, even if I don't really like these two teams, I will still spend the money to take a look"

    He thought so, but Zhang Hao's heartbeat couldn't stop accelerating, and that high-spirited fighting spirit reappeared. For the second time, his teammates saw Zhang Hao with a bellicose light in his eyes. They once again felt Zhang Hao's eagerness to compete, and they could not bear it.  I couldn't help but have similar emotions.

    The vast majority of players who can enter the NBA are extremely passionate about the sport of basketball. This love may have gradually faded due to years of failure in the professional arena, but this passion has not been wiped out, but has been smoothed by reality.

    Even Jason Williams, when the game was about to start, saw the sparkle in Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes and thought it was good to have such a teammate

    "Hiss" Jason Williams pinched his thigh hard, feeling like he was under an evil spell from the East, and he must wake up!

    Zhang Hao came to the bench and sat down. Randy Whitman did not put him in the starting lineup this morning.

    In this game, the Nets¡¯ starting lineup is: Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Gilliam, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown.

    Zhang Hao has no objection to this arrangement. He feels that it will be more conducive for him to adapt to NBA games after the duel time in the starting stage has passed before he goes up to compete with the opponent's rotation lineup.

    The preseason of the rookie season is for a rookie like him to adapt to the game, and it is very important.

    "Specially contracted player Zhang Hao is about to start the first preseason game of the NBA 1995-1996 season. The host can use the player detection system to observe and analyze the ability evaluation of his opponent's team players and provide guidance to Zhang Hao."

    ¡°Larry Johnson, ability evaluation is 89¡­

    Glenn Rice, ability evaluation 86

    Kendall Gill, ability evaluation 85"

    "Are they so strong By the way, they won 50 games last season Damn!"

    "Dell Curry 79, Scott Burrell 77, Matt Geiger 75Okay"

    Zhang Hao sat down peacefully. The difference in strength was quite obvious. There was no point in worrying. Life was just like that.

    At 5:30 in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. PJ Brown overpowered the opposite Geiger and moved the ball to Kenny Anderson, and the game began.

    Kenny Anderson is very powerful, the strongest on the team. Although his physical condition has not returned to his best, he still steadily outperforms Kendall Gill in terms of passing and control.

    But as the game progressed, the Nets fell into a disadvantage as expected.

    Halfway through the first quarter, with 6 minutes and 07 seconds played, the Nets entered the first official interim period trailing the Hornets by 4 points, 15-19.p; The Hornets have made large-scale personnel adjustments, with veteran point guard Michael Adams, top pitcher Dell Curry, veteran forward Rafael Edison, Aunt Johnson, and Chief Parrish coming on the scene.

    Kenny Anderson received the ball at the midline and advanced quickly. Zhang Hao quickly followed up and cut inside first.

    Zhang Hao ran into the paint and was pressed closely by his opponent Larry Johnson. This guy was simply too strong. He was 199 centimeters tall and weighed 113 kilograms. Although he played the power forward position, he was not afraid of anyone in the confrontation. Zhang Hao saw it before  The strength rating of Larry Johnson is 96!  Super top level power!

    Therefore, Zhang Hao decisively chose to leave the inside lane, slipped around the baseline and ran out from the right side of the three-second zone.

    When Zhang Hao was running out, Vaughn Fleming made a prompt decision and cut towards the basket. Just as Vaughn Fleming expected, Larry Johnson immediately gave up chasing Zhang Hao and retracted his feet to guard the basket.  Rish has followed P.J. Brown out of the basket. Larry Johnson is far more afraid of Vaughn Fleming, his old rival, than Zhang Hao, the thin bamboo pole rookie.

    Kenny Anderson released the ball immediately. When Zhang Hao came to the free throw line on the right side of the three-second zone, it was empty!

    Without hesitation after receiving the ball, Zhang Hao made a mid-range jump shot

    Watching the ball plunge into the basket, Zhang Hao couldn't believe it. He just ran out of space so easily?

    He hasn¡¯t done anything yet. He is just following the tactics to look for opportunities to hit the basket when P.J. Brown goes to top the arc for pick-and-rolls, or he just slips to the baseline, and the shooting opportunity comes

    When Zhang Hao ran back, he quickly analyzed the situation in his mind and discovered one thingKenny Anderson said to him before going on the field: "Don't worry, you will definitely have many opportunities to adapt to the game.  "

    The Hornets' defense is actually not bad. Not only is it not bad, it should be very good. Vaughn Fleming just cut in and Larry Johnson was able to cover the position. It's no problem, but Edison should be able to switch to him.  But Edison still followed Vaughan Fleming to receive the inside line, and seemed to be guarding against PJ Brown's pick-and-roll and then cut in.

    He was despised by the other party or ignored!

    In this situation, Zhang Hao really felt great!

 Chapter 49 49. Young people don¡¯t respect martial ethics!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    The fans at the scene had the strongest senses. As soon as Dell Curry dunked, Zhang Hao appeared under the opponent's basket like a ghost and completed the dunk.

    Fans who noticed the picture of Zhang Hao surpassing the opposing defender Antoine Lyles and then leaving Antoine Lyles far behind felt even more dazzled!

    Many people know that Zhang Hao can jump, mainly because he was selected in the NBA lottery. After he was selected in the high school slam dunk contest a few months ago, he was mentioned by the media many times, and more NBA fans learned about it.  Nets fans naturally know this very well as their team's rookie won the dunk title in high school.

    It¡¯s just that Zhang Hao has grown a few centimeters since he was drafted. According to the physical data released by the Nets, Zhang Hao is a real power forward with the height and wingspan. His bounce may not be greatly affected, but his speed should be affected by his growth.  Bar?

    But, it seems not at all!  Although they don't know whether Zhang Hao was fast in high school, but if Zhang Hao's current speed is affected by his growth, how fast was he in high school?

    Zhang Hao¡¯s counterattack acceleration just now was simply too fast!  It can be described as outrageous.

    After dunking, Zhang Hao once again low-key ran back to the backcourt, preparing to defend.

    He really wanted to keep a low profile and changed hands in the air just because he was afraid that dunking with his right hand would affect his feel.

    His teammates had seen his dunk in the training game and thought his dunk was very low-key.

    But opponents and fans at the scene don¡¯t think so

    The players on the Hornets team who happened to see Zhang Hao's counterattack became interested in Zhang Hao's amazing counterattack, and the fans at the scene also thought highly of their high school rookie.

    Dell Curry was a very famous college talent 10 years ago. If he hadn't broken his bone in his freshman year, Dell Curry would have had a chance to be selected to the All-American First Team in all three sports: football, baseball, and basketball. But even in football  After giving up, he was selected in the first dozen picks in the first round of both baseball and basketball, and he is still a figure that fans occasionally mention when talking about geniuses.

    Zhang Hao is a rookie, and he is still a rookie from high school. He is facing off against Dell Curry, and the opponent seems to be serious. How can Nets fans not be excited?

    In a preseason game, Zhang Hao made the atmosphere of the fans look like a playoff game. Those who didn¡¯t know it thought it was two superstars competing against each other. At first glance, they saw two pitchers, one of whom was a rookie

    Zhang Hao worked very hard on defense while shooting from the position, and tried hard to observe Dell Curry's playing style and habits, and gradually began to find the right position and the right time to attack. Gradually, even if Dell Curry was prepared  , was also disturbed by Zhang Hao's defensive assistance.

    After all, Dell Curry is only a part-time point guard. What he is best at is running without the ball, catching shots and cutting into the frame. He has been developing in this direction for many years. His ball-holding style is relatively average.  Neil Anderson was fine, but it was really not possible to fight against Charles, not to mention Zhang Hao's help.

    Fans at the scene were pleasantly surprised to find that Zhang Hao not only had a fight with Dell Curry, but also had a slight upper hand!

    Dell Curry is the best sixth man and the league's top off-ball shooter!

    As for Dell Curry, a shooter ran to hold the ball and was at a disadvantage Nets fans don't care!

    When Zhang Hao wants to shoot, Childs is there to help him, but among Dell Curry's current teammates, he is the only one who shoots. The Hornets' head coach changes very casually. Anyway, except for a few main players, their other players are just like that.  level, Dell Curry, the veteran leader in scoring on the team, wanted to have fun, and their head coach Alan Bristow left it to him.

    Bristow joined the Hornets as an assistant in 1988 and later became the head coach. Dell Curry also transferred to the Hornets in 1988. The two have a very good relationship. For this face, Bristow will still give Dell Curry  of.

    It¡¯s just that, the more he beats him, the more Dell Curry feels in his heart!

    They don't guard Zhang Hao well. It's difficult to guard off-ball shooters. His teammates on the court are not very good at defense. They are all fringe players. They also want to beat Childs and Gilliam to death.  A famous player, Zhang Hao shot really well.

    On the other hand, Dell Curry couldn¡¯t handle it when faced with Childs¡¯ single defense and Zhang Hao¡¯s flanking attack!

    If he had Boggs around, would he be afraid of Zhang Hao?  But Boggs was reimbursed, and Zhang Hao had Childs!

    Dell Curry is so angry!

    ¡°Young people don¡¯t respect martial ethics!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    After the official timeout in the second quarter, the scoring gap between Zhang Hao and Dell Curry gradually widened!

    Moreover, because Zhang Hao shot more easily, the Nets scored more easily overall. The Hornets players started shooting on the spot.Beat him, a veteran pitcher!  A power forward is covering up beyond the three-point line. It shouldn't be too obvious!

    The situation of the game is also going in the direction favorable to the Nets. On the Nets side, it has become a rotation of 9 main players. However, the Hornets do not look down on the strength of the Nets.  , Hornets head coach Alan Bristow is testing various lineups step by step. It doesn't matter how well they play. They win games with their main players in the regular season.

    With the two teams¡¯ unequal investment levels, the Hornets replaced all six main players at 4 minutes and 27 seconds of the fourth quarter. At this time, the Hornets were already 19 points behind 82 to 101.

    Dell Curry, who played 27 minutes, finally scored 18 points and 6 assists, watching the team lose by nearly 20 points This is not important, what is important is the rookie opposite, who played 30 minutes and made 13 of 22 shots.  5 of 6 free throws, 31 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks and 2 steals!

    ¡°It¡¯s so despicable! It¡¯s simply shameless!

    "Wait for me, I won't kill you in the next game Wait, I'm so much shorter than him, and his shameless defense style Damn!

    You bastard, you are a rat¡¯s tail juice!  "

 Chapter 50 50. The childhood shadow of primary school students (please vote for me, please recommend me)

    Early in the morning, Zhang Hao was woken up.

    In a dazed state, Zhang Hao heard someone calling him "father".

    He thought he was dreaming, but when he gradually woke up, he realized that he was not dreaming. When he opened his eyes, he saw a white young lady No, it was a very white black curly-haired young lady pushing him. While pushing,  One side seemed to be shouting "Dad".

    Zhang Hao¡¯s head suddenly shut down and he traveled through time again?  Still have no memory this time?

    At this time, Zhang Hao saw his hands, they were not dark-skinned

    ??Looking around again, it¡¯s the living room of his apartment. He is lying on the sofa. The person calling ¡°Dad¡± is Xiao Kuli, whom he just met yesterday.

    This confused Zhang Hao even more

    "What the hell? Didn't Curry just lose to me once in the preseason? His son has become my son. Are people having so much fun these days? If he loses a game, he will give away his son.  Peoplewait!

    What is it called?  godfather?

    Godfather?  "

    When you wake up, you become a godfather!  What happened?

    "Wait, it seems that after the game last night, this guy's father came to find me and took me to drink secretly. It seemed that he was too drunk"

    Zhang Hao gradually began to recall what happened after the game last night.

    He played well last night, and the team easily won their first preseason victory 117-96.

    Although it was only a pre-season game, the local media were happy and the domestic media were even happier. After the game, he was surrounded by a bunch of reporters like a big star for interviews, making his teammates and even opponents envious.

    "The clock-in" task was successfully completed. His 31 points were much higher than Dell Curry's 18 points. Although it took advantage of asymmetric conditions, asymmetric ideas of the players on the two teams, etc., it was completed when it was completed.

    He is a rookie from high school, and with this performance, what else is there to criticize?

    Dell Curry was surprised by his mid-range shooting ability and wanted to make friends with him. After this idea came up, it was infinitely amplified.

    How mature does a 31-year-old man need to be?

    In fact, even if a man is old, he should still be immature. Maturity may be innate, such as a certain No. 23 player in the future who is unwilling to reveal the height of his hairline.

    How to make good friends?

    Men, of course, are the easiest to get to know each other at the wine table.

    Just do it if you think of it!

    Then, Zhang Hao was dragged by Dell Curry to a family restaurant for a drink. The restaurant was opened by an early teammate of Dell Curry. After playing for a season and a half, he never got an NBA contract again and finally came to Rutherford.  Here in Dezhen, a family restaurant has opened.

    Zhang Hao originally thought he was just having a late-night snack, but he didn't expect to drink. However, hospitality is hard to refuse, and it's not easy to have the opportunity to drink secretly. He was only 18 years old, and he couldn't buy wine even if he wanted to drink secretly at home, so he didn't refuse.

    Then I got drunk.

    After getting drunk, he no longer remembers what happened. He just remembers that he and Dell Curry started calling each other brothers after three drinks. One of the scenes came to mind.

    He and Dell Curry stood on the roof of the two-story family restaurant together, each holding one of Curry's legs. He remembers Dell Curry yelling at Curry: "Hurry up, scream."  Godfather, from today on, Aix is ??my brother and your godfather, hurry up, otherwise I won¡¯t have you as my son!¡±

    And he, Zhang Hao, said, "No, no, no, no, how could it be like this? Stephen and I are not much different in age" but he was shaking little Curry's calf in his hand.

    Little Curry was so frightened that he cried, didn't he just say "no"?  His father actually wanted to "exterminate relatives for justice" because he didn't listen to his father's words.

    In the end, Little Curry succumbed to the power of Zhang Hao and Dell Curry, and shouted "Ga De Fa" with infinite shame

    The memory fragment ended up with Dell Curry asking him to get closer to Curry Jr., asking his former teammates to drive him home, and asking Curry Jr. to take care of him

    Thinking of the way he lost his composure after drinking the film last night, Zhang Hao felt so embarrassed!  I really want to find a hole in the groundhide and laugh like a pig!

    The best three-point shooter in history in the future!  Two consecutive MVP superstars!  Zhang Hao and Dell Curry, his father, are almost spoiled by him!

    Will it leave a shadow of childhood for Curry?

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t think so He is a strong child!  You are really an elementary school student who can persist in training four days a week!

    Definitely not!

    Zhang Hao really felt the power of the "learning mode" this time. The "deep sleep" effect is really refreshing.The boss didn't drink when he was in the restaurant.

    ¡°Little Curry went to the bathroom very skillfully, got two hot towels, poured water, wiped Dell Curry¡¯s face, and then woke Dell Curry up That¡¯s called skillful.

    Zhang Hao still remembers that after Dell Curry drank too much last night, he complained that his wife asked his son to come out and stare at him. Looking at it now, without little Curry, Dell Curry would have to suffer on his own after drinking too much

    "Wait a minute, if the future three-point king is not here, wouldn't Old Curry be able to take the girl from the nightclub back to the hotel? Maybe she will be taken care of better"

    Zhang Hao went to the hotel to ask for a hangover medicine. Little Curry said gratefully: "Thank you, Godfather."

    Dell Curry was already awake, and Zhang Hao noticed that when Curry called him "Godfather," the corner of Dell Curry's mouth was twitching, but he didn't stop it.

    That means I admit it!

    Zhang Hao said he liked this face-conscious character very much.

    After Dell Curry washed his face and woke up, Curry said as if he was offering a treasure: "Dad, this is the breakfast brought by the godfather. It is delicious. I chose all the ones you like."

    ""

    These words of godfather make Dell Curry feel so cold. Why don¡¯t you just reject him?

    My son has actually become the godson of an 18-year-old kid!  My son has an extra father for nothing!

    And this skin color looks

    ¡°He is a biological father with dark skin, his godfather is with yellow skin, but his son looks so white!

    ¡°If Curry had shaved his head and his curly black hair, and the three of them were walking down the street chatting, the style would be so weird.

    But now that the matter is over, what else can Dell Curry do?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And he remembers that he proposed it after he was drunk. Although he can't remember the specific process, he remembers that the other party seemed to refuse, and he didn't know how he finally agreed.

    "Drinking will make things worse!"

    Although the relationship at the wine table was not strong, Zhang Hao and Dell Curry became familiar with each other after they got drunk.

    Putting aside the slight embarrassment about Curry, the two had a good relationship. After chatting for a while, Zhang Hao left, leaving Dell Curry, whose son had a father, to calm down.

    ¡°And the Hornets will leave at noon. Zhang Hao will also go to Charlotte with the team tomorrow and play the Hornets the day after tomorrow. They made an appointment to have dinner at Curry¡¯s house tomorrow night, so they kicked Zhang Hao away.

    Exhausted!

 Chapter 51 51. Changes in teammates (please vote for me and recommend me)

    "Young man gives birth to a son", and he is a godson of a different race. Zhang Hao feels amazing when he thinks about it.

    On the way back to the apartment on foot, Zhang Hao also discovered some changes

    When he met pedestrians on the road, some kept saying hello to him, and some came to him to sign autographs!

    Although there was no live broadcast of last night¡¯s preseason game, not even a state or city live broadcast, more than 19,000 seats were packed and the tickets for the preseason game were cheap This is not important. The key is the fans who came.  Most of them are locals of Rutherford Town. Many people in the central area of ??the town went to watch the game and saw Zhang Hao's talent that is visible to the naked eye.

    It is very easy for a rookie to gain fans if he plays well. Zhang Hao gained a lot of local fans overnight.

    Not only in the local area, through last night¡¯s game, Zhang Hao has gained a little fame among NBA fans!

    When he returned to the downstairs of the apartment, Zhang Hao took out the newspaper he ordered from the mailbox. In the basketball newspaper, there was a section for rookies.

    No. 1 pick Joe Smith played 27 minutes in the first game and scored 13 points and 8 rebounds. It¡¯s not good, but it¡¯s not bad either. It¡¯s quite satisfactory.

    Second pick Antonio McDyess looks better, with 9 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He has a strong defensive presence. According to reports, Mutombo has been coaching this talented rookie on the defensive end during the lockout.

    Garnett played 29 minutes and scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, which is simply exaggerated!

    Damon Stoudemire, who scored 18 points and 9 assists in the first preseason game, also showed great talent.

    On the first match day of the preseason, only these popular rookies will compete.

    And these popular rookies are not the largest in the rookie area.

    When Zhang Hao saw the performance in the rookie area, he saw his name at first sight!

    His 31 points last night was the highest score in a single game by a player in all games played yesterday!

    Zhang Hao looked at his own evaluation - "Although the overall level of competition in the preseason is not high, scoring high scores does not mean anything. There are often Development League players who played well in the preseason but ultimately did not get a formal contract.  Situations arise, but for rookies, it's different.

    This is Aix¡¯s first time on the professional court. He has no stage fright and is likely to adapt to NBA-level competition!  "

    The article is not big, but the evaluation is not low!

    "No, no, no, you can't be frivolous. The media is such a piss-poor. If they do well, they will brag. If they do not, they will blow it. I have to keep working hard, Oli!"

    While Zhang Hao was repeatedly watching the news about the performances of the major rookies in their first preseason game, Zhang Hao received a call from Xu Jicheng. Tonight, US time, at noon Beijing time, the Chaoting Sports Channel will broadcast last night  Video of his first preseason game!

    This is different from the occasional reports about him in the news and the occasional photos of him in newspapers. Before, his popularity in the country was mainly limited to sports fans, and it was far from the national team athletes in various sports.  Notability among the public.

    ¡°These days, only by appearing on TV can we truly expand our popularity and promote a person to more people.

    But for the time being, Zhang Hao has an indifferent attitude towards this aspect, which is very Buddhist.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the limelight and resting until noon, Zhang Hao came to the arena and planned to do some light training after lunch to help his body deal with the side effects of alcohol.

    I saw Kenny Anderson again in the morning. Zhang Hao originally thought that the boss had given up on losing weight and was preparing to lose weight naturally after the season started. However, after the training match, the boss started working hard to lose weight again.

    Zhang Hao has read Kenny Anderson¡¯s information. In the past two years, he has been over 77 or 78 kilograms. That weight is most suitable for him.

    It was almost 12 o'clock, and Kenny Anderson's training ended. Zhang Hao handed him a towel, and Kenny Anderson took the towel and wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "Didn't you secretly drink alcohol last night?  I actually came to train today, I thought you would sleep in today."

    "Boss, how did you know I was drinking?"

    "We also went to a nightclub to drink some last night. I also thought about sneaking some wine to your place for you to drink. When I arrived at your house, I happened to see you being drunk and being sent back."

    "Aren't you still training after drinking? It doesn't matter, I'm in good health."

    "I only drank two glasses of red wine. It was too much. Drinking too much wine is really not a good thing. This summer, I drank every day and caused physical problems. Although you are still young, you should pay attention to this kind of thing early, Coleman.  He often gets drunk and delays training. He is so talented but has not improved at all from his rookie year to now."

    ? ?sp; ¡°Talent?¡±

    "Yes, yes, it is talent, but there is another reason, I think it is characteristics!

    ??The fact that you were selected after graduating from high school proves that you have something that can impress the Nets. They definitely value you very much and chose you with this pick.

    I can see that if you can bring out your strongest point in the game, which is your mid-range shooting, then you should do better than your team's coach expected.

    Your current performance should only meet their expectations. They will wait for a period of time before asking you to take the next step. You can definitely be one step ahead of their predictions in the game. Their next step will definitely want you to be more  Good integration into the team.

    You have to understand that what a pitcher without the ball should do most is not to focus on how to score. Of course, our goal is to run out of scoring opportunities, but the things to be done and the ultimate goal are not necessarily the same!

    As off-ball shooters, the most important thing for us is to help the team attack more smoothly. Once the whole team attacks smoothly, we will naturally have more opportunities, because we don¡¯t have the ball in our hands and the defensive players¡¯ attention  Inevitably it will be concentrated in the hands of the player with the ball.

    Don¡¯t limit your vision to one area, we have to consider the entire situation. Although off-ball shooters are not valued by fans and the media, off-ball shooters are never just about shooting. We are the most important part of the tactics"

    "The dinner was very pleasant. Overall, it was just what Zhang Haoting and Dell Curry said.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t drink, but Mrs. Curry¡¯s soup was delicious. After eating and drinking, Dell Curry drove Zhang Hao back to the hotel.

    Watching Dell Curry's car leave, Zhang Hao reviewed the content of the exchange with Dell Curry tonight. He had a feeling that Dell Curry had used the same tactics he used to train Curry on him in advance.  .

    "We agreed that we are brothers and your son is my son, but you actually used me as a test subject?"

 Chapter 52 52. Aunt¡¯s Target (please give me monthly votes and recommend votes)

    On October 12th, the second game of the Nets¡¯ preseason game arrived.

    After getting up and finishing the chores, at 8:35 in the morning, Zhang Hao followed the team to the Charlotte Arena.

    Today, the atmosphere is very different from the atmosphere before the last game. Kenny Anderson and Childs are both actively communicating with their teammates.

    Jason Williams and PJ Brown have been working very hard. They are very powerful and Zhang Hao is still competing with him. Gilliam, Vaughan Fleming, Edwards, Graham and others are controlled by the two players.  Wei led.

    And the boundaries of the small circle were broken today. Together with Zhang Hao, their nine main players were actively discussing how to play.

    Although it was only a preseason game, Zhang Hao felt that his teammates really wanted to win!

    "Akers, you run hard and I will put the ball in your hands"

    When Kenny Anderson said this to Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao interrupted Kenny Anderson, shook his head and said: "Boss Kenny, you don't have to deliberately accommodate me in tonight's game. The whole team will play whatever is beneficial.

    I think after the last game, my shooting threat should affect the Hornets' defense. If I run out of opportunities, you can give it to me, but you don't have to just focus on passing the ball to me. If you can use my containment to help others  It will be better to create opportunities, and our offense will play more smoothly.  "

    Kenny Anderson and Childs were very surprised, and the two competitors Jason Williams and PJ Brown were even more surprised when they heard Zhang Hao's words.

    In front of so many people, Kenny Anderson and Childs did not reject Zhang Hao's suggestion and nodded.

    The two tactics classes passed quickly. After lunch, Kenny Anderson asked Zhang Hao to hang out outside the Charlotte Arena to eat.

    "Akers, I didn't expect you to say that."

    "I'm a pitcher, boss. How can a team focus solely on creating scoring opportunities for a pure pitcher? Aren't pitchers supposed to shoot when they have the opportunity and do a good job of containing them when they don't have the opportunity?"

    "Of course, I just thought it would take time for you to accept it. I didn't expect you to be ready after just one game."

    "It's probably just this one game. Even if I want to integrate into the team in the next game, my opponent will probably not be willing to do it. The opponent will definitely give me a lot of opportunities."

    Kenny Anderson thought about the situation of the last game against the Hornets and smiled: "Yes, but you played well in the last game, which will definitely make some opponents notice you. Maybe you need to be more keen to judge.  In the situation on the court, although the pitcher is mainly responsible for containment, if necessary, you can be the main scorer, but now I am not worried about whether you can adapt"

    ¡­¡­

    Soon, at 5:15 in the evening, Zhang Hao and his teammates finished warming up and entered the court together.

    Today¡¯s starting lineup has not changed. Butch Baird still sent out the starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Gilliam, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown.

    Not long after Zhang Hao entered the court, he was called to the technical table by Dell Curry on the opposite side, along with the Hornets' leading scorer Glenn Rice.

    "Glenn, this guy is pretty good."

    Perhaps because of Dell Curry¡¯s reputation, but also because of Glen Rice¡¯s bold personality, Glen Rice said enthusiastically: ¡°Yeh, I saw it, the talented rookie who went crazy in the last game, I am  Glenn Rice, Aix, right, just call me Glenn.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my honor to have you, the best pitcher in the world, notice me. My goal is to become as good a pitcher as you.¡± Zhang Hao immediately replied.

    Dell Curry was very satisfied to see Zhang Hao and Glenn Rice supporting each other in business. He was afraid that young Zhang Hao would offend his senior fellow pitchers with his careless words. They, the pitchers, should stick together to keep each other warm. As for Zhang Hao saying that Glenn -  Rice is the best pitcher. There is no problem with this statement. He won't think anything of it. Originally, Glenn Rice was a pitcher who could be compared with Reggie Miller.

    Of course, the young people are young, and then the big guys take care of these young people.

    After a few words of greeting, Glenn Rice said: "I have to seriously compete with you tonight, perform well, and strive to become better than me and Dell."

    Watching the two top pitchers on the opposite side return to the bench on the other side, Zhang Hao felt that he was lucky. After entering the NBA, he joined the Nets with such an excellent point guard line. Although other positions were weak, they also gave him a chance to perform.  The seniors I met were also pretty good As for Larry Johnson, who wanted to test his health and bully him and was indeed bullied in the last game, the team also had teammates who wanted to compete with him.

    Opportunities, of course you have to fight for them yourself, and your opponents are targeting you?.Matt Geiger comes on.

    The timeout ends and the Hornets attack first.

    Zhang Hao followed Larry Johnson in the frontcourt. Larry Johnson took the initiative to come to the low post to find a confrontation. Zhang Hao clearly felt that the opponent was more active and rougher than in the previous game!

    199 cm, 114 kg, strength rating 96, the height of a small forward, the weight of a center, and brutal strength. Facing such an opponent, Zhang Hao thought that his static strength of 90 was excellent before the last preseason game and he was quite proud of it.  , thinking that this was what he could rely on to seduce his opponents on the court, but after playing against Larry Johnson, he truly understood what it means to have someone outside of you!

    However, Zhang Hao's inner energy came out. With memories of this era, his life in the United States was actually quite difficult, not in terms of life, but in the high school career stage. Even with Pierce taking care of him, it was actually very difficult.  It was difficult, and it was still difficult for no one to tell him, but he still persevered because he had a very tenacious attitude.

    There is no fear. With the experience of the last game, Zhang Hao no longer thinks about relying on his height advantage to intercept in the air. In the NBA, they are all super short power forwards who average 20+10 points per game. How can they be afraid of him, a rookie?

    So this time Zhang Hao chose to go up hard!

    Larry Johnson felt Zhang Hao¡¯s confrontation and was quite surprised!  The strength displayed by that thin body is comparable to those of power forwards with considerable tonnage!

    However, just top-level strength is not enough for Larry Johnson.

    With Zhang Hao stuck, Larry Johnson received the ball from Goldwire and turned around suddenly!

    Zhang Hao hurriedly used his strength to push forward. After the last game, he had studied it. If you fight while moving, if you move quickly and timely, you will not be called a foul if you use force. Of course, it must be a reasonable confrontation.

    But what Larry Johnson was waiting for was Zhang Hao taking the initiative to exert force, and his turning force was a fake move. Larry Johnson turned right against the pressing Zhang Hao, walked along the baseline, and suddenly turned left, a skillful low-post turn.  Zhang Hao was thrown around by his skills, and he hit the target with a one-step throw outside the effective collision zone on the upper line!

    It all happened in the blink of an eye. When Larry Johnson threw the ball into the basket, Zhang Hao jumped out of the baseline with all his strength!

    Play!

    Seriously, Larry Johnson is completely making fun of Zhang Hao!

    Larry Johnson, who made the goal, did not retreat immediately. Instead, when Zhang Hao turned around, he said: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

    Be angry!  Complain!  Hate me!  ¡ª¡ªLarry Johnson laughed inwardly, anticipating the rage of the opposing rookie.

    However, Zhang Hao just glanced at Larry Johnson and silently picked up the ball and served.

    This made Larry Johnson¡¯s inner laughter suddenly stop, and it felt like a punch on cotton.

    As everyone knows, the rookie on the opposite side is thinking to himself - he is indeed a poor man's version of Barkley, so awesome!

    Will Zhang Hao be furious after being teased by a top power forward who averaged 19.2 points, 11 rebounds and 3.6 assists in a rookie season, has played in the NBA for many years, and is currently at his peak age?  nonexistent.

    After serving the ball, Zhang Hao immediately rushed forward!

    Larry Johnson hurriedly followed up. He was a beat slower than Zhang Hao, but his reaction was timely, so he could keep up.

    Moreover, the Hornets paid much more attention to him today. Dell Curry and Goldwire retreated immediately. Together with Larry Johnson, who was active on the defensive end, the three of them retreated the entire Hornets team.  The enthusiasm has been aroused.

    There was no fast break, so Zhang Hao was not discouraged. After waiting for Childs to advance to the frontcourt, he started to run aggressively.

    After Childs advanced to the frontcourt, he quickly analyzed the opponent's defensive tendencies, found Jason Williams to pick and roll, and then rushed from the right side of the top arc!

    Matt Geiger crouched under the basket and did not come out. When Goldwire defended the pick-and-roll, he chose to go behind the ball and block the pick-and-roll shot of Childs, who was not very athletic. The cut-in failed and Childs did not pass the ball.  Gilliam came to the line on the left side of the three-second zone to receive the pass, but passed it to Zhang Hao, who was running towards the free throw line!

    Gilliam immediately understood the intention of Childs, who had the best cooperation with him last season, and turned to cut inside.

    On Zhang Hao's side, he ran towards the free throw line and saw Childs passing the ball in advance. He rushed forward quickly. When he received the ball, Edison, who was on the left side of the three-second zone just now, blocked him. Larry Johnson was also tight this time.  The pursuit and defense are in place.

    In this position, you can force a shot, but Zhang Hao didn't. He saw Gilliam's cut and immediately took a step towards the basket after receiving the ball. He easily squeezed Edison away from the left and attracted Matt Geiger under the basket.  attention.

    At this time, Zhang Hao threw the ball towards the basket

    A throw from this position?

    Matt Geiger took a step forward and turned to look at the basket. Gilliam cut in and dunked the ball into the basket!

    ?Beautiful high-level support!

 Chapter 53 53. What should I do if I can¡¯t keep a low profile?  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    Zhang Hao learned this pass from Garnett during the Adidas Training Camp Elite. The position on the field happened to be similar to the one when Garnett passed an alley-oop to him, so he tried it.  One shot of frame-bombing guidance, the fight was done!

    Although Zhang Hao didn¡¯t score the goal himself, Zhang Hao felt a little relieved that the goal was related to him.

    During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Hao retreated immediately after passing the ball. Gilliam, who rushed out after receiving the ball and raised his arms to give a high-five, was embarrassed but quickly retreated.

    Gilliam firmly believes that as long as you are not embarrassed, it is not embarrassing.

    He is very excited now. Although the ball he just scored was only one, he felt the benefits of having teammates with mid-range containment capabilities!  Returning the favor, Gilliam returned to the backcourt, patted Zhang Hao on the back, and took the initiative to meet Larry Johnson who was running over.

    Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment, then Edison ran over, and he immediately followed Edison.

    Facing Gilliam, Larry Johnson was obviously a lot more cautious. Gilliam has enough tonnage. After all, he is an opponent who can hold the fifth position in a short lineup. Gilliam is also far more experienced in using his body.  Richer than Zhang Hao.

    However, Larry Johnson still wanted to play singles. He was already in high spirits. Facing Gilliam, a rival he had competed with for many years, he asked Goldwire for the ball again.

    After receiving the ball, Larry Johnson began to use his skills and strength to beat Gilliam in singles. He was patient and focused. Finally, he found an opportunity. Larry Johnson made a beautiful turn and took advantage of the confrontation when the referee was unable to use it.  He pushed Gilliam with his arm from an angle that was directly visible to his eyes, and got a chance to take action!

    Larry Johnson was pursuing the perfect shooting opportunity, so he was very focused, but he didn't notice an opponent who was swooping inward. Larry Johnson got a perfect direct small throw and was able to shoot.  When he had a chance to take action, a tall and thin man behind him jumped up quickly and slapped the ball he threw against the basket!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s flanking block!

    When Larry Johnson was playing in singles, Zhang Hao directly let Edison go and stepped in, seizing the opportunity to give Larry Johnson a big block!

    Gilliam grabbed the rebound, Zhang Hao blocked the shot and jumped out for a fast break!

    When Zhang Hao surpasses his four teammates, the gold medal "Ride Alone" is triggered!

    Although the full power was not turned on, Edison and Dell Curry on the opposite side retreated immediately and retreated to the backcourt faster than Zhang Hao. However, Zhang Hao's "Single Riding" was triggered and the speed increased to 95 also surprised the opponent. Gillette  Mu passed the ball to Childs, and when Childs accurately passed the ball to Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao had already entered the free throw line in the frontcourt!

    At this time, Zhang Hao could no longer control his inner impulse. After receiving the ball, he took a step forward and took off towards the two people who retreated to the basket!

    Dell Curry quickly got out of the way. He had experienced Zhang Hao's power in the last game and was much stronger than he looked. However, Edison, who had a small height gap with Zhang Hao and weighed 201 centimeters and 98 kilograms, jumped towards Zhang Hao without fear.  Blocked up.

    Amid the exclamations of the fans at the scene, the two confronted each other. Then, Edison lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor. After knocking over Edison, Zhang Hao slammed the ball into the basket!

    With this ball, after Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket, some fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed again!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????: It's even more violent than imagined!

    This ball looks like Zhang Hao actively wants to knock away the opponent and dunk, but Edison bumps into Zhang Hao, but he is knocked over like he hit a speeding locomotive!

    The referee's whistle was a beat too late, Zhang Hao's goal was valid, Edison blocked the foul, and Zhang Hao also received an extra penalty!

    After Zhang Hao landed, he looked at Edison lying on the floor, looking quite arrogant.

    This made the fans at the scene start to boo Zhang Hao after reacting.

    When Dell Curry helped Edison up, he felt that Zhang Hao was too arrogant. It didn't matter if he dunked, but he was still showing off after dunking, but this was different from the Zhang Hao he knew before.

    In fact, Zhang Hao is really not arrogant. He is just trying to calm down his excited emotions based on the principle of keeping a low profile to prevent his excited celebration from causing displeasure to his opponents.

    Look carefully, his eyes are empty

    After a few seconds, he adjusted and turned towards the free throw line.

    At this moment, Larry Johnson came up and pushed Zhang Hao. Upon seeing this, Dell Curry rushed up to stop Larry Johnson.

    Zhang Hao was naturally angry after being pushed and almost fell down. He felt incomprehensible. He considers himself humble and low-key, and did not do much to celebrate after dunking.

    Edison was also helped up by Dell Curry, so he was probably not injured.Get on the field.

    Zhang Hao easily understood the opponent's intention of this rotation - he wanted to establish a lead before the end of the first half!

    Currently, the Nets lead the Hornets by 1 point 43 to 42. Even if the Nets play so well, the Hornets still do not really fall behind. This is the strength of the Hornets, and they are confident because of their strength.

    The timeout ended and the Hornets attacked first. Zhang Hao stayed in the backcourt and waited for the opponent to start running in the frontcourt. While following Larry Johnson, he thought about the opponent's intentions based on the movements of the opponent's players.

    Suddenly, Larry Johnson, who was just moving at close range, suddenly made a cut towards the basket. Zhang Hao quickly pressed forward to form a confrontation, but he only confronted Larry Johnson for a moment, and immediately moved towards the other side of the three-second zone.  He jumped sideways because he saw Edison cutting in!

    As analyzed by Zhang Hao, Larry Johnson's cut-in is only a threat, and the other side is the real end point, because PJ Brown has already expanded out to cover up Glenn Rice!  Sure enough, Zhang Hao just knocked down the right side of the three-second zone, and after receiving the ball, Glenn Rice, who attracted PJ Brown to defend, had already distributed the ball to Edison.

    Edison was already ready to catch the ball and dunk easily, but he didn't expect Zhang Hao to block him.

    Edison, who was rushing up, saw Zhang Hao. If it was normal, he would choose to feint a shot and then throw up or lay up, but this time he didn't. He wanted to retaliate for Zhang Hao's dunk in the previous quarter. Edison, who was full of blood, took off to meet Zhang Hao.  , trying to dunk

    "Snapped"

    Zhang Hao jumped up on the spot, and during the confrontation with Edison, he slapped the ball that Edison had raised down!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Clean!  Relying on the advantages of confrontation and height and wingspan, Zhang Hao completed a beautiful and clean block!

 Chapter 54 54. When talent shines into the competition (please vote for me and recommend me)

    Kendall Gill grabbed the ball, and time was running out. He took a step forward and shot directly in the mid-range shot. He was too hasty and missed the shot. Zhang Hao, who had just completed the block, guarded the rebound without being careless and carefully waited for Kenny Anderson to come up.  Answer.

    The Hornets retreated quickly. After Edison recovered, he immediately confronted Zhang Hao after passing the ball, not giving Zhang Hao a chance to make a quick move.

    Edison¡¯s operation of pressing and defending an off-ball shooter was indeed strange, but he didn¡¯t think there was any problem. The opponent was faster than all their inside players, and only Kendall Gill at the point guard position was faster than Zhang Hao.

    In addition to speed, there is also Zhang Hao's confrontation. Edison thought that with his weight of 201 centimeters and 98 kilograms, his confrontation was not as good as Zhang Hao's!  He had to charge harder, but Zhang Hao, who was obviously slimmer than him, was stronger against him It was simply amazing!

    Edison couldn¡¯t figure it out, and neither could anyone else. However, while the Hornets players were shocked, the Nets players were even more motivated because of Zhang Hao¡¯s shot blocking!

    Blocking shots is a way to boost morale as well as dunking. Zhang Hao's cover defense just now showed excellent defensive awareness and physical condition Is the highly praised high school student in Minneapolis as good as Zhang Hao?  His teammates thought it was impossible!

    In the frontcourt, Zhang Hao continued to focus on containment, but this time, he found that the opponent's defensive method had changed. It seemed that he was not so tight in defense, but more tightly guarded against strong-side shots and weak-side cuts.  .

    Make a decision immediately!  Zhang Hao began to strengthen his running methods to find shooting opportunities for himself.

    The Nets lineup has a fast pace. Although there is no fast break, Kenny Anderson immediately started a fast attack after advancing to the frontcourt to increase the rhythm.

    Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and ran back violently, slipping to the baseline under Larry Johnson's pursuit. He made perfect use of PJ Brown, who cut through the baseline, and the opponent's center Matt Geiger to block Larry Johnson and reach the right baseline.  .

    Kenny Anderson also judged this opportunity and quickly passed the ball to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao caught the ball and shot from the bottom lineit went in!

    Just as Zhang Hao analyzed, the opponent may make defensive adjustments, and he predicted the opponent's prediction!

    The Nets still have continuity on the offensive end after this large-scale lineup adjustment!

    Zhang Hao showed great aggression and was very keen to judge the defensive intentions of his opponents on the court. In addition, he became more and more familiar with his teammates' running habits on the field and became more familiar with his own tactics.  Based on tactics, he found better and more suitable movement routes and practiced them without hesitation. His performance was very impressive.

    His strong awareness of self-adjustment on the court has given Kenny Anderson a huge help.

    Either scoring, passing assists to Zhang Hao, or using the threat of himself and Zhang Hao to pass to othersKenny Anderson is playing more and more freely!

    When Hornets coach Bristow saw this scene, he knew there was nothing he could do. A team like the Nets with mainly young players would be difficult to suppress if their morale and momentum were really boosted.

    But Bristol is not in a hurry. He is trying his best to make adjustments. It does not mean that he is afraid of losing, and they have not lost yet. He thinks this game is a good game to enter the rhythm of the season. He is really  I want to thank my opponent.

    Of course it would be better if we can win, but given this situation, we can only hope that the players on the court can suppress the Nets' momentum through performance.

    The Nets' point guard line makes Bristol very envious. If they had a point guard like Kenny Anderson or Childs, they wouldn't have lost to the Bulls in the playoffs last year. With team play, everyone can  Transitioning the ball is good, but sometimes a point guard who can sort out the offense alone is also very important. Bogues is that kind of point guard, but Bogues is too short and too prone to injuries.

    ¡­¡­

    At the end of the half, thanks to Larry Johnson and Glen Rice scoring 6 points in a row at the last moment, the Hornets narrowly kept the point difference at 6 points.

    58 to 52, the Nets led by 6 points entering the halftime break.

    ? 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, playing for 13 minutes, Zhang Hao produced very beautiful data.

    During the halftime break, half of the players in the Nets locker room were very excited and actively discussing how to play in the second half.

    Why half?

    Because only 9 players got the chance to play in the first half, and many of the other 11 players were training camp contract players, and they had already seen the signs - they had no chance, and some were already prepared.  After the away game ended and they returned to Rutherford Town, they were expected to be eliminated.

    Reality is cruel, but reality is indeed so cruel.

    &He can run and shoot. The Hornets have already paid a lot of attention to Zhang Hao because of the last match, but now they realize that they still don't pay enough attention!

    In addition, Zhang Hao was able to send out 3 assists in 31 minutes!  The most incredible thing is that they hardly saw Zhang Hao dribbling. The three assists were all passed out within two seconds after receiving the ball. His ability to distribute the ball in high and low posts is very good, or in other words, he is very good at passing the ball.  His positional awareness is extremely good!

    However, even if Zhang Hao performed so well, the Nets still couldn't stop the Hornets' momentum of chasing points.

    Zhang Hao behaved so well, and they were even more unhappy!

    At 9 minutes and 21 seconds of the last quarter, the Hornets relied on Dell Curry's corner three-pointer to lead the Nets by one point 106-105. The Nets called a timeout!

    The fans watching the game even complained about the Hornets - it's just a preseason game, and there is such an outstanding rookie on the opposite side. Can you be so serious?

    Whether he is leading or lagging behind, whether he played a good offense or did poorly on defense and was scored by his opponent, Zhang Hao's mood does not seem to have changed much, as if he immediately devoted himself to the next one after one round.  The round is average.

    From the perspective of a bystander, Zhang Hao is so lovable. A player who is so focused on the game and has talent. How can he not be lovable when the fans have no inclination?

    Especially his not-so-sharp playing style has a strong sense of presence, which makes it easier to attract the love of fans who watch the game in person. These are things that cannot be seen in news reports.

    It¡¯s just that if the Hornets players knew what the fans at the scene were thinking, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood.

    But if the fans at the scene can come up with such thoughts, others will not be surprised if they know it. The Hornets' football market in Charlotte is not good, and they are far less popular than North Carolina.

    A player of college age like Zhang Hao would have been easy for local Charlotte fans to like.

    Anyway, Zhang Hao's arrogance after dunking on Edison was already forgiven by the fans at the scene. Except for that ball, Zhang Hao did not show arrogance at other times. No matter how beautiful the goal was, he never showed it again. They regarded that ball as "  Accident".

    As for what Edison thought, no one cared.

    Even what the Hornets players think, most people at the scene don¡¯t care.

    Some local fans who have seen the news about Zhang Hao¡¯s post-draft interview also complained about North Carolina - if you give him a full basketball scholarship, he will be our player!

    Although I don¡¯t know what the fans at the scene are thinking, the Hornets players have also felt the change in the support of the fans at the scene, and they can occasionally hear the exclamations when Zhang Hao plays a good ball.

    This makes the Hornets players extremely unhappy!

    There are 2 minutes and 39 seconds left in the game. They have already overtaken the score and are about to win!

    The Hornets players have never wanted to win a preseason game so much, but now, they just want to win!

    What Bristol wants is this kind of mentality, this kind of real emotion entering the new season. During the timeout, he thinks very seriously about the opponent's next offensive tactics and the Hornets' own offense at critical moments.

    On the other side, Randy Whitman was also carefully arranging tactics. He still put Zhang Hao on the court at the last moment, not because he believed that Zhang Hao would perform well at the critical moment, but because there were no better players available.

    Apart from Kenny Anderson, Gilliam, and Childs, the best player on the team is the rookie Zhang Hao!

    Considering the overlapping positions, the role of play and other conditions, Zhang Hao's role in the game is more important than that of Childs.

    Randy Whitman really didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to be so good!

    But that¡¯s it. From the first day he came to the team, Zhang Hao continued to surprise them.

    However, Randy Whitman has no confidence in whether he can play well in the critical moments in the last few minutes. If Coleman is here, just give the ball to Coleman for a single at the last moment. Coleman is better than the opposite player.  Larry Johnson is even better.

    But that¡¯s not the case, so let¡¯s make arrangements as usual.

    After the timeout, Zhang Hao came on the court with Kenny Anderson, Gilliam, PJ Brown, and Vaughan Fleming.

    The Hornets sent out a combination of Kendall Gill, Dell Curry, Glenn Rice, Burrell and Larry Johnson.

    Bristol directly placed Larry Johnson at the center position, because even compared with serious insiders like Jason Williams, Larry Johnson still has a clear advantage in confrontation. The opposite Nets team can  There is no real center among the players at all. At this time, just send the five strongest players up.

    The Nets attack and serve from the center line.

    Zhang Hao's current physical condition is not bad, but his teammates are not so good. After a few months of rest, although he has gone through more than a week of team training, he has only played in the second preseason game, and their Nets  The team rotated nine players tonight, and it was obvious from the middle of the fourth quarter that they were exhausted.

    It is only because Zhang Hao has been training all summer and his physical strength has reached the top level of 91, and he can do very little on the defensive end and consume less, that he can still maintain a very good condition at this time.  .

    It doesn¡¯t matter. Zhang Hao noticed that since the second half, the opposing Hornets had fewer rotation players, only 8!

    Kenny Anderson came outside the three-point line, took a deep breath, and made a beautiful change of direction to get rid of Kendall Gill's defense, occupying a position advantage and breaking through from the right side.

    Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao confirmed what he was thinking. Kenny Anderson's breakthrough pace has obviously slowed down, but Kendall Gill's lateral movement has become even slower.

    The Hornets are paying attention to the breakthrough Kenny Anderson. This is a point guard who averages 20+10 points per game. He is not only a strong passer, but also has superb scoring skills. They are also paying attention to Gillette, who scored the highest score on the Nets tonight.  Mu, but at the same time, he also paid attention to Zhang Hao.

    When Kenny Anderson broke through, Gilliam quickly circled to the center and cut in. Larry Johnson took a step to the center and hit the arc of the zone to prevent Kenny Anderson from rushing to the basket or Gilliam from rushing in. At this time,  Zhang Hao took a step outside. Glenn Rice, who was chasing Gilliam, immediately ran to the left side of the three-second zone. Burrell also moved quickly.

    At this time, if Kenny Anderson does not shoot directly from outside the three-point line, and Gilliam chooses to cut in, the Hornets are no longer so afraid. The two men rush to the inside, and Larry Johnson can completely interfere.  , Kenny Anderson usually shoots open in the mid-range because his height is easily interfered with in the mid-range.

    Therefore, when these two people are in their current position, what the Hornets are most afraid of is the high school rookie opposite!

    But Zhang Hao's running outside to look for an open shot was just a fake move. He only took one step. After deceiving Burrell and Glenn Rice who had the opportunity to cover his cut, Zhang Hao suddenly turned around. His top-notch flexibility made him very good.  Easily complete the change of direction and accelerate to cut in from the middle distance on the left side of the three-second zone!

    Kenny Anderson hurriedly threw the ball to the left side of the basket. When he threw it, he let out an annoyed sigh. The force was a little stronger. If it was the third quarter, he would not sigh, but at this time he already felt that  Being exhausted, he was worried that Zhang Hao wouldn't be able to catch it!

    However, his worries were unnecessary. Larry Johnson, who was under the basket, turned around with the same mentality and wanted to grab the ball. Larry Johnson also thought that Zhang Hao would not be able to catch it, but Larry Johnson, who had just turned around and stepped forward, saw something in front of him.  black¡­¡­

    "ßÑ"

    A crisp dunk sounded, and Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket through Larry Johnson!

    When the light returned, Larry Johnson cursed secretly for being careless. Looking at Zhang Hao who fell down, as long as Zhang Hao dared to stare at him, he would push this guy again!

    However, Zhang Hao, who upholds the belief of "low-key", noticed this this time. After dunking the ball, he immediately turned around and ran to the backcourt without looking back, as if nothing happened.

    Now, Larry Johnson not only wants to push Zhang Hao, he wants to fight!

    Being ignored!  What does this mean?  Does it mean that the dunk just now was like dunking the air?

    Too arrogant!

    But Larry Johnson can¡¯t get angry at this time, because Zhang Hao really didn¡¯t do anything. His behavior after dunking Edison can be regarded as provocation, but this time there was no action. If he made any action, he couldn¡¯t afford it!

    So angry!

    Larry Johnson followed Zhang Hao and ran to the frontcourt, quickly calming down. Now is not the time to be angry. What's the use of being angry?  What's the use of fighting?

    To retaliate for Zhang Hao¡¯s dunk No, it¡¯s two dunks tonight. We have to win this game!  Losing two games in a row, or losing two games in a row because of a rookie on the opposite side, even in the preseason, Larry Johnson couldn't bear it!

    Larry Johnson continued to play in the low post. Zhang Hao followed Burrell and Burrell set a pick-and-roll for Glenn Rice, bringing Zhang Hao, a rookie with poor defense, to Glenn Rice, a top-notch defenseless player.  Pitcher's side.

    Although Vaughn-Fleming followed Burrell, he was always ready to cover up Glenn Rice, who might get rid of Zhang Hao at any time, but at this time Vaughn-Fleming saw Zhang Hao after encountering the pick-and-roll.  Just shrink and attack Larry Johnson!

    This defensive choice is simply terrible!  No one would have expected that someone could actually face the pick-and-roll.Well done, it was still Larry Johnson. The role of the star was clearly evident at this moment. Zhang Hao had no chance to catch and shoot, Kenny Anderson had just hit a ball and ran out of gas, and others were helpless.  Gilliam's force break was the last resort, but Larry Johnson blocked it in time. Gilliam was at the end of his game and had no extra energy. He chose to force a shot, and the ball hit the angle between the neck of the basket and the backboard.  , bounced out!

    The Hornets¡¯ defense was successful this time!

    The ball flew towards Dell Curry. Dell Curry was about to collect the rebound and call a timeout. At this moment, two long and thin arms appeared in Dell Curry's upward gaze and took the ball away!

    This guy is so strong that he is just bullying people!  However, Dell Curry immediately realized that this was not the time to get angry and turned around to steal the ball, but the opponent did not put the ball down. At this time, Dell Curry regretted it and should have turned around and committed a foul, but it was already too late.

    Zhang Hao used Dell Curry as a cannon and shot a jumper from close range

    At this distance, Dell Curry didn¡¯t even jump and just stretched out his hand. Zhang Hao shot too easily and hit the target from close range!

    With 9 seconds left, relying on Zhang Hao's mid-range shot, the Nets' lead once again expanded to 3 points!  The Hornets call a timeout!

    The fans at the scene could no longer hold it in and climaxed directly!

    ¡°x¡­¡­x¡­¡­x¡­¡­¡±

    He scored 6 points in a row at the critical moment, and the last shot was made by himself after grabbing the offensive rebound. Zhang Hao's last attack made the fans at the scene directly switch sides!

    Charlotte fans, they are quite fanatical fans - very fanatical about NCAA games. In their view, if Zhang Hao does not directly participate in the NBA draft, but goes to college, then the best college student in the United States after Tim Duncan  , most likely Zhang Hao!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Great!

    As for the Hornets they can move away, they can't even win against a high school student!

    Although this is only a preseason game, the fans at the scene think so!

    ¡°If Vince Carter and Antoine Jamison hadn¡¯t surprised North Carolina fans with their talents in pre-season friendly matches, they would probably have gone to greet the North Carolina head coach¡¯s family.

    It¡¯s justare Carter and Jamison more talented than Zhang Hao?

    The fans at the scene are really not sure yet.

    There were some Hornets fans at the scene, and some die-hard fans, but more people just watched the Hornets game to join in the fun, otherwise the Hornets' attendance would not have been among the bottom three in the league for seven consecutive years, that is, with Charlotte.  Since the Hornets became a team, they have never been out of the top three in attendance!

    ?? If Zhang Hao¡¯s offensive rebound made the Hornets players feel that the situation was over, and Zhang Hao¡¯s mid-range shot made the Hornets players feel desperate, then the defection of the fans at the scene was the last straw that broke the camel¡¯s back.

    With 9 seconds left, even though the Hornets called a timeout, after the timeout came back, Glenn Rice's three-pointer from the catcher hit a hollow outside the basket!

    In this wave of defense, Randy Whitman came on, and Jason Williams, P.J. Brown, Almon Gilliam, Edwards, and Childs came on to defend, and they defended pretty well!

    Jason Williams rested for most of the quarter and is a new force. With excellent rebounding ability, he protected the defensive rebound and held the ball until the final buzzer sounded.

    There was no tactical foul on the Hornets¡¯ side. They gave up on this game!

    They really gave up and wanted to escape from here.

    It¡¯s just a preseason game, how could it get to this point?

    They all felt incredible about their seriousness at this time. Only then did they realize that they only had 8 people rotating in the second half, but this made them want to escape even more.

    They were really serious in the second half, but ended up losing to the Nets, which even lost Coleman!

    And, the fans at the scene even turned against them!  Just because of that person, the rookie on the opposite side who raised his personal score to a game-high 26 points at the last moment!

    The fans at the scene couldn't stop shouting "x". Only then did Zhang Hao become aware of this scene. He himself found it incredible.

    The mentality of young people belonging to this era could no longer be suppressed at this moment. Zhang Hao was not on the court for the last defense, but he immediately rushed onto the court at the end of the game and said to Larry Johnson: "Coming to the NBA is such a wonderful experience.  It's a pleasure and thank you for welcoming me with two defeats."

    After Butch Baird announced the news, he left the restaurant, and the restaurant instantly exploded.

    "Gerrard's contract for the new season is 480,000, right? It's too miserable! He won't get a penny at all." Childs felt sad.

    "It was only a matter of time before Gerrard was laid off. When playing against the Hornets, he didn't get up until two in the afternoon. He didn't get to the arena until the warm-up was almost over."

    "That's true, but it was too sudden. I thought he would be laid off in the middle of the season. He can earn thousands of dollars a game, and he earns every game."

    For Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, a salary of $480,000 a year is nothing, but it is different for Childs.

    "However, he did not have any negative opinions about Butch Baird. Butch Baird does have a skill in this regard.

    Zhang Hao listened silently to the conversation between the two and felt that Butch Baird was really awesome.

    We hired the most suitable person to perform the surgery!

    "Did they have provisions for notifying Glass of a curfew? Or were they already prepared to lay off Glass before the start of the season to save salary?" Zhang Hao did not say this.

    However, in terms of discipline, Zhang Hao felt that this operation might have an immediate effect.

    Very direct, very simple, very crude.

    There is no room for negotiation. Apart from the regulations that the league must have, the team does not have many other regulations, and they are not strict.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that it wasn¡¯t strict in the past, and many people violated the regulations.

    Butch Baird just made a decision - to strictly enforce the rules.

    The new regulations are just an introduction.

    Zhang Hao looked around at his teammates. Some were embarrassed, but some players were excited about this.

    The team has really changed!

    "Awesome! I can't coach, but I have a way of doing this!"

    Zhang Hao was going to get some more food to calm down his shock. This surprise was a surprise.

    He originally thought that the team would be like a puddle of mud, and he could only struggle in it, just caring about himself, but now looking at it like this, they seem to have a chance to try to win!

    After this period of time, he felt that they had some hope. As for Glass who was laid off someone would always be laid off, and it would be better if it wasn't him.

    Just when Zhang Hao was feeling excited, he saw the scene on the TV in the restaurant. He found it interesting at first, but in the end, a national curse resounded throughout the restaurant

    ¡­¡­

    Yesterday, Michael Jordan accepted an exclusive interview with t.n.t and was asked about this year¡¯s rookies.

    This is something that happens every year, the top stars in the league evaluate the rookies.

    We will not wait until the regular season has been played for a period of time before conducting this interview, or even wait until the preseason is over. Instead, we will conduct this interview as soon as the rookies have performed a little bit.

    Reason Just because a superstar plays well doesn't mean he has good vision.

    Topics need to be created.

    Jordan came back after retiring for more than a season. This season, we naturally have to find him.

    Jordan has been cheated before. When he evaluated rookies, he used his own senses to evaluate them honestly. He would praise whoever he thought was good. Usually there was one lottery pick that he liked, and then, that rookie was a mess.

    Once upon a time, whenever Jordan wanted to participate in such an interview, the rookies who had just entered the NBA were extremely scared, fearing that their names would come out of Jordan's mouth.

    Fortunately, Jordan learned to be smart later. When he praised someone alone, he always praised a parallel import. He would praise all the rookies in the lottery.

    After that, the "hand-picked parallel import" program that fans look forward to and rookies despair about every season ends, and its influence gradually dissipates.

    After retiring for more than a year, Jordan, who has come back again, has become more calm in dealing with the media. He praises rookies in a more cultured manner, uses words and narratives that are more professional, and leaves room for praise.

    He praised every rookie in the lottery. Even those who did not play well in the first two preseason games expressed his expectations and vowed not to be slapped in the face again.

    Perhaps it was because the Bulls were about to have a preseason game with the Nets. After praising the lottery picks, Jordan specifically mentioned Zhang Hao: "Akers' mid-range shot is so good. He must be the best mid-range shooter in the league."  One of the best players in shooting. He just graduated from high school. He is really good. I want to compete with him to see who has a better mid-range shot"

     The number of seats announced by the Bulls tonight is 21,358, which is all packed!  Moreover, looking around, almost all the spectators were wearing red T-shirts provided by the Bulls!

    The manic sounds at the scene made Zhang Hao truly understand what enthusiasm is. What are the names of the Nets' home court and the Hornets' home court

    Looking across the way, Zhang Hao finally saw the legendary player with his own eyes - Michael Jordan!

    Zhang Hao thought about visiting Jordan in advance, but there was no chance. The Bulls' training was much more active and larger than that of the Nets.

    When there is a game, people are still preparing for the regular season.

    From this point, Zhang Hao could clearly see that the opponent did not regard them as opponents at all.

    "Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Longley, Kerr, Harper, Rodman except that they are all a bit older, Jordan is still half a year old at 33, and Rodman is still half a year old at 35. This lineup is impeccable.  ah!"

    Zhang Hao looked at this group of players and simply didn't know how to describe his current mood.

    Just seeing these players on the opposite side made him feel out of breath!

    They are basically teams from two worlds!

    At this time, the prompt came.

    "Specially signed player Zhang Hao will represent the Nets in the game against the Bulls. The player detection system has been turned on, and the host can analyze based on the opponent's ability evaluation to provide help to Zhang Hao."

    "look!"

    "Michael Jordan, 32 years old, 198 cm tall, 212 cm wingspan, ability rating 105"

    "No more watching!"

    Zhang Hao only read the beginning and decisively turned off the subtitles.

    This is so shocking!

    "What is the highest ability evaluation?"

    ¡°The general ability evaluation is the highest 99, Michael Jordan has transcended the times.¡±

    A superstar beyond his time!  When thinking of this, Zhang Hao thought of someone inexplicably.

    "What does that paranoid think? How dare he aim to surpass such a guy?"

    No longer looking at the ability evaluation of the opponent's players, Zhang Hao felt that he would be hit if he continued to look at it!

    Taking a deep breath, Zhang Hao calmed down the mood that made him want to curse because of the difference in strength.

    At this time, Kenny Anderson came next to Zhang Hao: "How is it? You must be very excited to see that man."

    Without answering the question, Zhang Hao asked: "If someone tells you that his goal is to become stronger than Jordan and to get more honors than Jordan, what do you think?"

    "are you crazy?"

    "It's not about me."

    ¡°¡­Fortunately, you¡¯re not crazy.¡±

    Zhang Hao knows that he is not crazy, but he feels that a certain player No. 24 who does not want to be named in the future is crazy.

    Now if an outsider says that he wants to surpass Jordan, he will be regarded as crazy. Jordan is being compared with Magic at this time, let alone saying that he wants to surpass Jordan after his second three consecutive championships?

    "Where did that guy get the courage?"

    Ignore these things, many things are still far away from him. At this moment, he really wants to play as soon as possible.

    Unlike the excitement when he first stepped into the stadium, Zhang Hao initially thought he would run over and talk to Jordan, but now he really has no impulse towards such things.

    His current impulse is to go up and play a game with that man!

    the other side.

    "Michael, are you interested in that high school student?" Pippen was curious.

    Jordan shook his head: "No, I'm not interested in him. I'm interested in his mid-range shots. Did he hit 20 mid-range shots in the previous two games or how many? Twice as many as me"

    Pippen thought for a while and said: "That rookie mid-range shot should be very talented. I heard that he only relied on a dunk contest and a high school student game to get into the first round. His talent is definitely not bad. What do you think?  "

    Jordan did not answer, but asked: "How many mid-range shots do you think he can make tonight?"

    Pippen asked again: "How many shots do you want him to make?"

    "Ha ha ha ha¡­¡­"

 Chapter 58 58. Villain Team (please vote for me and recommend me)

    The game is about to start, and Zhang Hao is sitting on the sidelines.

    Listen more, watch more, and learn more It¡¯s an old process.

    The Nets¡¯ starting lineup remains the same, with Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Gilliam, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown.

    The Bulls fielded a lineup of Ron Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and Longley.

    After the game started, the situation was different from what Zhang Hao had imagined.

    It¡¯s one-sided, but the Nets are actually in the lead!

    It¡¯s not important. Zhang Hao¡¯s attention was not on the score at all. He found that the Bulls seemed to be playing?  The opponent's tactics actually used Rodman as the offensive end point to attack!

    "No! No! They are really serious about their tactics!"

    Zhang Hao suddenly thought of a very special and interesting part of the tactical system of future Celtics coach Brad Stevens - executing offensive tactics around Marcus Smart's shooting.

    This tactic is not a conventional tactic, but a tactic used under forced circumstances.

    Zhang Hao suddenly realized, yes, when the Bulls were forced to need Rodman to score, they were really pushed to the limit.

    Unlike his teammates on the court who felt heartfelt humiliation and fought harder, he had a shocking feeling that the Bulls were trying to find ways to become stronger even in such a game.

    But then, Zhang Hao felt so humiliated!

    In the eyes of the Bulls coaching staff and players, the Nets are only worthy of such a role!

    This feeling is crazy!  Although he is not on the court, he is also a part of the Nets. This feeling is really humiliating!

    After 6 minutes and 08 seconds, the game entered a timeout due to a dead ball.

    11 to 6, the Nets lead by 5 points.

    The score is so low A 5-point lead looks good, but it was a 5-point lead when the Bulls only scored 7 points.

    The Bulls' defense is not focused, or even very attentive, but the defensive abilities, awareness, habits of the five players on the opposite side are all too strong. Judging from this situation, even if the Bulls defend casually, Zhang Hao feels that their basketball  It is difficult for the Nets to score more than 100 points.

    "The three-point line has been shortened, the range from the three-point line to the reasonable collision zone has become smaller, and there is no defense for three seconds The teams that benefit the most are definitely teams with good defense, but we are not!"

    Zhang Hao felt a little sad.

    At this time, he heard Randy Whitman¡¯s call, burst into tears, and jumped to the side of the chief assistant coach.

    "Kenny, Greg, Ax, Jason, PJ, come ondon't be distracted and fight hard."

    Randy Whitman actually said half a sentence more!

    Why do your teammates feel that so many words were said to Zhang Hao alone?

    Zhang Hao was distracted just now.

    The aroma of lemon is spreading

    Zhang Hao¡¯s attention has been focused on the court. This time, he was placed in the small forward position.

    He feels that any position is almost the same

    Randy Whitman looked at Zhang Hao. He made this arrangement because he didn't want Zhang Hao and Rodman to face each other.

    The timeout was almost over, and the referee signaled the players from both teams to come back on the court.

    Seeing the players on the opposite side, Randy Whitman was glad that he had made such a decision, because none of the three strongest players on the opposite side actually got off the field to rest!

    The lineup of Steve Kerr, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and Bill Wennington is on the court!

    ¡­¡­

    The moment he stepped onto the court, Zhang Hao¡¯s previous nervousness, worry, and other negative emotions were swept away.

    He is trying hard to analyze the possible favorable conditions. Maybe the opponent does not care about their opponent at all. This is the favorable condition. If you make good use of the favorable conditions, you may be able to gain an advantage.

    Also, standing on the same court as Jordan and playing against Jordan made Zhang Hao excited!

    Then, from the first moment, Zhang Hao faced a nightmare

    When Zhang Hao came on the court, the Bulls' defense became obviously different. When he ran, there was always someone next to him!

    Although he can¡¯t defend in a zone or attack in advance, no matter how Zhang Hao moves, the opponent¡¯s defense changes from Steve Kerr to Rodman very quickly.

    It was Kenny Anderson who reacted quickly and seized the opportunity to shoot from close range and score two points.

    Zhang Hao's first attack played a big role. Kenny Anderson just used the gap exposed in the mid-range when the Bulls changed defense to go straight to the short range. It was just that such emphasis on defense caught him off guard.

    ?Second, what is the difference between it and a vacant position?

    Even when he was grabbing rebounds, Rodman looked like he had met the enemy who killed his father!

    In terms of score, it was also quickly reversed. The Nets scored 11 points at halftime. At the end of the first quarter, the score only rose to 18 points. In nearly 6 minutes, the Nets only scored 7 points!

    And during this period of crazy singles play by Jordan, one person scored 13 points!

    23 to 18, after the first quarter, the Bulls easily went from 5 points behind to 5 points ahead!

    During the break, Zhang Hao was replaced and sat on the bench, he was a little confused.

    Having no power to fight back This is not important. He had thought about the situation where he would have no power to fight back against the Bulls.

    But, this is not the case!

    After reviewing the situation in the first quarter and feeling the changes in the emotions of his teammates, Zhang Hao suddenly wanted to understand what happened.

    on purpose!  The Bulls started the game deliberately "casually" on defense!

    Let Rodman be the main attacker. Although the Bulls want to take advantage of the Nets' weakness to practice, the fundamental goal is to make their Nets players relax!

    After the Nets felt they had a chance no matter what the chance was, but they felt there was a chance, the Bulls defeated their belief in one fell swoop!

    Zhang Hao felt incredible when he thought of this, but it may be the case!  Even if the Bulls are facing such a weak opponent as the Nets, they still want to trample them under their feet to the point where they lose confidence and fighting spirit and will never stand up!

    Why?

    Zhang Hao really couldn¡¯t figure it out: ¡°Are they necessary?¡±

    Every player on the Nets never thought that the Nets would be a better team than the Bulls. They just worked hard and just wanted to seize any chance to win, just like the past two games against the Hornets.  That way.

    Not only against the Bulls, but against any opponent, they will choose to do this, and they may succeed.

    But damn it, the Bulls didn¡¯t play by the rules at all!

    In this regard, Nets head coach Butch Baird and chief assistant Randy Whitman have nothing to do.

    The strength gap is too big, and the opponent is in good condition. This is not a problem that can be solved by the coach, and the opponent's coaching staff is so powerful.

    But at the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets seemed to have another chance

    The Bulls replaced all three players except Steve Kerr and Bill Wennington and replaced them with a pure bench lineup. They just ran the tactics when they came on.  No matter what, it's time to "polishing tactics" again, and Kukoc has become the core of the tactics.

    During this period, Childs and Gilliam led the team and brought the score back. At 4 minutes and 47 seconds of the second quarter, the Nets played a wave of 12 in the second quarter.  6 to 6, leading the Bulls by 1 point 30 to 29!

    The Bulls called a timeout!

    After hesitating for a while, Randy Whitman discussed with Butch Baird and prepared to replace Zhang Hao, but Butch Baird vetoed it.

    "Butch, in this situation, Ax's mentality will collapse!"

    "Let him try."

    "but¡­¡­"

    "Maybe he can do it?"

    ¡°Don¡¯t blame me if he loses his mind, I don¡¯t value him as much as you do.¡± Randy Whitman snorted after saying that.

    You have the talent, but how about your ability to withstand pressure?  These are all areas that Butch Baird needs to examine. After all, it is only the preseason. If Zhang Hao is not enough to meet his expectations at this stage, then in the regular season, keeping his job will definitely be his primary goal.

    This kind of thing needs to be decided early.

    Because to make changes, he has to pay a lot.

    The timeout ends and the game continues.

    As soon as Zhang Hao came on the field, he found that the opponent had actually changed the starting lineup!

    Jordan scored 13 points in the first quarter. Zhang Hao thought that the opponent would not play again. Unexpectedly, not only Jordan played, but also Ron Harper, Pippen, Rodman, and Longley!

    ???????? Zhang Hao had a premonition that the other party was going to mess with him

    "Who am I provoking?"

    Zhang Hao's hunch was right. After the Bulls started attacking, Jordan continued to stare at him.

    This time Zhang Hao was placed at the power forward position with Childs, Vaughn Fleming, Gilliam, and Jason Williams, but Jordan had to find Rodman to pick and roll without the ball, forcing Zhang Hao to switch defenses.  After going to him, rely on Zhang Hao to ask for the ball.

    "Where's your mid-range shot? I'm really disappointed. I thought your mid-range shot was so good, but now you haven't scored a single point"

    After Jordan finished thinking about it, he did not look for fake moves or confrontation. Before Jason Williams pounced on him, he turned over and shot a jump shot

    Hit again!

    15 points!

    Zhang Hao was depressed and didn¡¯t reply, and ran towards the frontcourt, but at this time he found that Jordan was not leaving, which meant that Jordan chose to guard him alone!

    Moreover, the entire Bulls team stepped up their confrontation!

    Before, it was just difficult for Zhang Hao to move and find opportunities, but now it¡¯s even harder to find the rhythm of his movements!  Jordan's rough confrontation is no worse than that of most power forwards.

 Chapter 59 59. Dancing with God (please vote for me and recommend me)

    ?Compared to the second half of the first quarter, Jordan has become even more vicious now, and his mouth has never stopped.

    Every time Jordan successfully defended or scored a ball, he would talk trash and irritate Zhang Hao crazily.

    This made Zhang Hao¡¯s brain explode. He couldn¡¯t concentrate at all. The more he played, the worse he got. He finally had two shooting opportunities, but he missed them all. One time he received the ball and was directly intercepted by Jordan.

    Not only him, but the entire Nets team suffered. Childs couldn't even take into account any of his teammates. They scored one by one. The smooth tactical execution of the Bulls in the first two games against the Hornets was reflected in the Bulls' success this time.  After the replacement, it was all gone!

    At 10 minutes and 11 seconds of the first quarter, the Bulls counterattacked by relying on Jordan to press the defense and steal the ball when he switched defenses. After Ron Harper's cut-in dunk, the Bulls played for more than 5 minutes.  After a 14-5 run, leading the Nets by 8 points 43-35, the Nets called a timeout!

    Zhang Hao was replaced again.

    Randy Whitman can¡¯t be said to be disappointed. Zhang Hao still worked very hard on the court to run, rush for rebounds, and also tried hard on the defensive end.

    But the opponent is too strong!

    Randy Whitman is more regretful and expects a rookie to break out. This idea will definitely occur because he really thinks Zhang Hao is a genius.

    After halftime, the Bulls led the Nets by 11 points 50-39 into the intermission.

    When Zhang Hao returned to the locker room, he felt a dead silence.

    Dignity, confidence, momentumall positive emotions were defeated by the Bulls!

    Zhang Hao tried hard to calm down, and finally found a point where he could calm down - this was only his third game, and it was a preseason game.

    "This is the real cruel NBA arena, right?"

    Zhang Hao thought about it and realized that the Hornets, his opponents in the past two games, were really different from the Bulls.

    Perhaps, this is the qualitative difference between the super strong teams that emerged from the late 1980s and early 1990s and ordinary strong teams like the Hornets.

    Not only the strength, but also the style of playing, doing things and speaking.

    The Hornets have Dell Curry and Glenn Rice. These two are friendly. Larry Johnson has a fiery personality, but he is loyal, and the Bulls are villains!

    Zhang Hao feels that the adjectives Kenny Anderson put on the Bulls players before the game are too right. These are a group of villains!

    Thinking of what happened to the Nets at halftime tonight, Zhang Hao suddenly figured it out - "Jordan wants to show their strength and make all opponents lose the idea of ??being their enemy.

    Even if it¡¯s a weak team like ours, he won¡¯t let it go.

    His goal may be to defeat all opponents, any opponent, everythingall!  "

    Every dynasty team has its own characteristics. Zhang Hao felt the characteristics of the Bulls just after playing against them for the first time.

    Domineering!

    Unreasonable tyranny!

    Zhang Hao felt a sense of powerlessness about playing basketball

    What is the scariest thing?

    It means that he knows that the other party is going to do that, but he is unable to resist.

    Even, they lost the desire to resist.

    I feel humiliated from the bottom of my heart and accompanied by depression.

    Zhang Hao felt this emotion from his teammates, including Kenny Anderson.

    Kenny Anderson has been playing for several years, and even played against Jordan, who won three consecutive championships, but he was still beaten to the point of collapse.

    It¡¯s just a preseason game, but the Bulls have already begun their dominance.

    Currently losing by 11 points, but they have no desire to win. The Bulls used half the game to crush the desire to win that they had finally built up before.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t analyze everything so clearly, but he had a feeling that if they didn¡¯t do something today, they would collapse!  The preseason is about to collapse!

    There must be something to do!  Something must be done!

    Just after Zhang Hao came up with this idea, subtitles suddenly appeared!

    "Specially signed player Zhang Hao was targeted by Michael Jordan during the game and tried to fight back. The mission: Dance with the Gods was triggered."

    ¡°Dancing with God:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, in the second half of this game, Zhang Hao and Michael Jordan must score higher than Michael Jordan when they are on the court at the same time.

    Reward: Lifespan 60 days.

    Advanced reward: If Zhang Hao takes the initiative to provoke during the game, let Michael Jordan know the target of the confrontation and complete the task target.The second most important thing is defense, and Rodman will be one of the protagonists in these two points. Shooting will naturally lead to iron. Even if it is Jordan, Jordan is the current scoring champion, but at the same time Jordan is also the current iron king. If there is iron, there will be iron.  There is room for Rodman, the strongest rebounder currently active, to play.

    Not to mention the defensive end, Rodman, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, is the best defensive forward in the league today and won the first defense last season.

    Sure enough, after the game started, Rodman had a chance to perform. After the ball was passed from Ron Harper's hand to Jordan's hand, Rodman immediately got ready to grab the rebound when he saw Jordan's position.

    Rodman is best at judging the final position of the player based on the position of the player who takes the shot. He is unique in the entire NBA history for his ability in this area!

    Jordan's first shot in the second half was shot, and it was too skewed. Fortunately, Rodman judged the position, and his ability to circle the pile was very strong, and he was in front of Jason Williams, who had the best rebounding ability.  Snatched the ball.

    Rodman's first goal after grabbing the ball is not to attack twice, but to find teammates with opportunities to distribute the ball. He has averaged two points and several assists per game in the past few years, which is quite good, but when he grabs rebounds, there is something wrong  Confused, Jordan, who had always beaten Zhang Hao before, why was he so crooked this time?  After grabbing the rebound, when he looked at his first passing target, Jordan, he understood immediately.

    Jordan was surrounded by Zhang Hao, Graham, and PJ Brown!

    Just now, after Jordan helped Pippen pick and roll, as soon as Pippen passed the ball to Jordan, Graham immediately followed the ball and pounced on him. Jordan was naturally not afraid of a one-on-one challenge, but just when he was ready to shoot, PJ Brown  Directly short Longley and attack from a flank.

    There is no back space, so Jordan takes off and shoots hard. At this time, although Zhang Hao's strength is not as good as Jordan's, and his weight is not as good, his static strength is only a little bit worse than Jordan's.  The key to the interception of a physically fit man who was positioned in a defensive formation was that Jordan didn't expect the opponent to defend like this. He was rarely panicked when he shot, and it was ridiculously crooked!

    Rodman immediately passed the ball to Longley, who was free, and Longley took a step and made a throw.

    Being hit with a second offense, the Nets' defense was terrible, but Jason Williams immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Kenny Anderson without any hesitation.

    These things were all done within two or three seconds. When the ball came out, Zhang Hao was already on the fast break!

    Jordan was confused by the three-man attack and quickly reacted. He and Zhang Hao rushed to the other half of the courtso fast!

    Jordan found that Zhang Hao was faster than before!

    Jordan desperately chased after him. Zhang Hao made an emergency stop after receiving the ball. Jordan overshot!

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t hesitate, grabbed the ball, stopped for a long two-point shot

    Finally got in!

    ??Finally a goal in a sports match!

    In the first half, Zhang Hao only scored two points with free throws, and failed to hit any of the remaining 6 shots. Finally, at the beginning of the second half, Zhang Hao scored in a sports battle!

    At this time, Jordan had not yet realized what had happened in the past seven seconds. The opponent's operation in the first round of the second half left him confused.

    But he immediately knew what the other party was going to do.

    "Mr. Jordan, it's my turn now.

    We all will guard you, can you continue to score?  "

    After Zhang Hao said this expressionlessly, he immediately turned around and retreated.

    The subtitle prompt has come. He has told Jordan what they are going to do. Next, it depends on whether Jordan will take the move or not.

    But Zhang Hao didn¡¯t need to think about it to know what Jordan would choose. No, after hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s words, Jordan was stunned for a moment and smiled.

    He laughed!

    How could Jordan not know what the rookie on the opposite side wanted to do?

    Why does the other party want to win against him?  Even if it's just him who wins, he's still willing to work together as a team.

    At this moment, instead of being angry, Jordan actually enjoyed the feeling of the entire team challenging him alone.

    interesting!  So interesting!

    Should you let your teammates do the same to the opposing rookie?

    Jordan chose not to.

    He chose to defend Zhang Hao alone, and then challenged the opponent alone.

    He thinks this is fair to the rookie on the opposite side.

    This is what Jordan thinks is fair.

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 60 60. The direction of technology expansion (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)

    Without telling anyone what he thought, Jordan continued to ask for the ball in singles after reaching the frontcourt. This time, there was no need for a pick-and-roll. Zhang Hao directly defended Jordan.

    No one will question Jordan's idea of ????playing alone. This is the player with the strongest singles ability in NBA history. If he wants the ball, his teammates must give it to him.

    When Jordan received the ball, Graham was already on guard. This time Jordan was prepared. When he got rid of the two defenders, PJ Brown made up for it immediately. Facing the three-man attack, Jordan took action again

    This time it was still a little off, a little hasty, and the ball hit the inside of the basket at the neck of the basket. However, after being left open, Pippen, who had already understood the Nets' thoughts, cut in immediately and scored two points with a make-up dunk.

    Jason Williams is the second-best player on the court, but facing Rodman, Pippen, and Longley in the paint, there is a tragic one-on-three situation.

    This goal does not count as a score. Jordan curled his lips. He really has to go all out. One vs. three is indeed difficult. Zhang Hao's size actually restrains him. It's just that Zhang Hao's basic defensive skills are not good. pj-Brown Jordan understands it, or  It was said that he was the only Nets player that Jordan really valued before the game, and he also wanted an interior teammate with such defensive capabilities.

    There was also a rough-and-tumble Graham stealing the ball from below. Jordan had to admit that the opponent had done a good job in picking him out in a group. The Nets did use their three strongest players in the double attack.  .

    When the Nets attacked, this time they fell into a positional battle. After Jordan's shot landed, he stuck to Zhang Hao, giving Zhang Hao a chance to counterattack quickly.

    Jason Williams, Graham, and P.J. Brown were all picking and rolling for Zhang Hao, and Kenny Anderson actually got a better opportunity, but he didn't shoot, but waited until Zhang Hao came to the bottom line.  Finally, Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Zhang Hao, who had a slight opening. Zhang Hao's bottom line finally scored!

    The point that a pitcher without the ball can take advantage of - you can't double-team him when he doesn't catch the ball, he took advantage of it!  The opponent's defense is tight and the defense changes quickly, but there will always be a shooting opportunity.

    When Zhang Hao made a mid-range shot from the bottom line, Jason Williams and Graham had already begun to confront Jordan and did not give Jordan a chance to make a quick shot.

    Seeing this, Jordan finally confirmed that this was all the idea of ??the rookie on the opposite side!

    It was also a little surprising that Kenny Anderson was also known to Jordan. Although he was not an opponent he valued, he was still a borderline All-Star player. He was much better than Zhang Hao. At this time, he was actually willing to do so much for Zhang Hao  None of this mattered anymore. Jordan began to enjoy the opportunity to challenge the entire team by himself.

    The next game became Jordan's singles against at least three people's defense, which was very difficult. Occasionally, Kenny Anderson would sneak up and try to steal, and he had a successful steal, but in such a situation  , Jordan's singles success rate is slowly rising!

    This made the players on the Nets team a little irritable. If Rodman wasn't so intimidating on the opposite side, they would have wanted to hit someone. At this time, their occasionally irritable and rough confrontation was used by Jordan. Fortunately, Jordan  The success rate of their main attack points is also increasing!

    Under the Bulls' excellent team defense, Zhang Hao's success rate in running, catching and shooting is also increasing!

    Anyway, it¡¯s just a matter of risking one¡¯s life to find a way to output!

    Although he is still very tough, it can be seen that he is getting better and better at finding opportunities to shoot!

    This made other Nets players very excited. They had no intention of winning in the first place. It would be too difficult and not something they could do. It would hurt their self-esteem even more if they couldn¡¯t do it after trying hard. But in this situation, Zhang Hao and Jordan  Score points and have a chance to win!  Moreover, Zhang Hao indeed maintains the lead!

    In terms of team scoring, the Nets quickly widened the point difference, but after the official timeout, Jordan still did not go down to rest. He was still competing with Zhang Hao.

    Regarding Zhang Hao's performance, Jordan was really surprised this time. Obviously Zhang Hao was not a shaky shot, but looking for opportunities, and really became more and more accustomed to the Bulls' team defense during the game. Although he shot  The success rate is not high, and there are not many opportunities found, but considering the defensive strength, Zhang Hao's shots are really accurate, and some shots are made purely by his personal ability!

    There is also Zhang Hao's confrontation. When Jordan switched defenses at the beginning of the game, he discovered that Zhang Hao's confrontation was far stronger than the impression given by his size. Now this has been confirmed again.

    He is really talented, has excellent athletic ability, and has a sharp counterattack; his shooting is too good. Anyway, Jordan recalled that when he first entered the NBA, his mid-range shooting was not as good as Zhang Haoit took him several years to reach Zhang Hao's level; he has a high golf IQ.  It's important to note that this aspect of the rookie impressed him.

    If we want to talk about flaws, they are too big.?Others here didn't feel very happy either, but at least they weren't as frustrated as they were at the end of the first half.

    This, in Butch Baird¡¯s opinion, is enough.

    After Zhang Hao sat for a few minutes, he also figured out that there would definitely be setbacks. If they were weak, there would definitely be times like this.

    But is it going to sink like this?

    of course not!

    No one on the Nets is a player like Magic Johnson or Duncan. They will not be able to win FMVP or become a first-team superstar when they enter the NBA. They will definitely face such a situation, and more than once.

    Maybe one day, he will become a star, or maybe he will just become an ordinary player in the NBA.

    But no matter what, the best choice is not to be defeated by such negative emotions and choose to turn these negative emotions, that is, pressure into motivation.

    Since frustration is inevitable, choose to accept this process!

    The teammates who had been paying attention to Zhang Hao saw the change in Zhang Hao's expression and saw Zhang Hao's renewed enthusiasm for basketball, and their emotions began to rise from the low point.

    I don¡¯t know since when, in terms of fighting spirit and enthusiasm for the game, my teammates have regarded Zhang Hao as their backbone.

    In fact, they have fighting spirit and renewed enthusiasm because of the changes brought about by Zhang Hao.

    Childs noticed this, Kenny Anderson noticed it, Vaughn Fleming noticed it, Randy Whitman noticed it, Butch Baird noticed it

    No longer depressed, no longer thinking about the gap between himself and a truly strong team, Zhang Hao turned on the subtitles.

    Before, when the final whistle sounded and he hit the buzzer-beating shot, the reminder had already come. It was just that after he made the shot and saw Jordan's back turning away, he felt emptiness, sadness and other unpleasant feelings.  It popped up, and he didn't want to look at it for the time being.

    Now that his mood has recovered, Zhang Hao turned on the subtitles and saw the prompt that the task was completed so happy

    ¡°Dancing with God:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, in the second half of this game, Zhang Hao and Michael Jordan must score higher than Michael Jordan when they are on the court at the same time.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: life span 60 days.

    Remaining life: 326 days, usable life 325 days.

    Because Zhang Hao took the initiative to provoke during the game, Michael Jordan understood the goal of the confrontation and completed it.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Jumper King (Bronze Medal).  "

    60 days lifespan!

    Zhang Hao felt the fatigue in his body, thinking about the pressure in the game, the panic that sometimes appeared when facing Jordan's defense, the constant confusion he faced, and the frustration he had when Jordan could score in every one of three Hu Ke eh  and?

    Finally, the lifespan is back to more than 300 days!

    And, I also got a medal!

    "King of Turnover Jumpers (Bronze) (not designated for players to wear): When a player wearing this medal uses a turnover jumper, in that attack, the bounce +1, strength +1, and a 10% chance of ignoring the turnaround jumper belt  The shooting impact comes.¡±

    Of course put it on immediately!

    I took a look at the effect of the medal The bonus to physical fitness is very small, the key point is the 10% effect of ignoring the impact of turning over and jumping!

    But the problem is that he can¡¯t turn over and shoot a jump shot. If he can¡¯t, then the medal will be nothing.

    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t know it at all, but he rarely uses it, even in high school, and he has never used it once in the NBA. He also knows that his turnaround jump shot is indeed not at the NBA level.

    Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s practice!

    In today¡¯s game, he understood that sometimes he needs to score by himself, even if it is running to catch and shoot, sometimes he has to create a close encounter after catching the ball.

    But his skills are too poor. Even if he has to practice, he still has to practice around his mid-range shot, breakthrough with the ball, etc. If he doesn't consider it for the time being, practicing those things will actually affect his current growth direction.

    Of course, it was time to practice holding the ball. He was going to take the ball back from the gym and play with it. If he had a chance, he would practice the moment when he received the ball and dribbled away from the defense when cutting. It wasn't too complicated.  that's it.

    Passing accuracy should also be practiced. This is training that is in line with his current growth direction.

    But now he has a clear direction to develop skills around his mid-range shooting ability-turnover jump shot!

 Chapter 61 61. It¡¯s really a kryptonian life!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    Since the three superstars of the Magic Bird God who transcended their era demonstrated the super strength of NBA stars at the Barcelona Olympics, everyone in the basketball world has focused their attention on the NBA.

    From 1991 to 1993, Michael Jordan took over the torch of being the league's number one player from Magic Johnson and led his team to win the first and only three consecutive championships in modern basketball. He established a dynasty and the focus of the NBA was focused on  On to the Bulls.

    In 1992, a large amount of brand investment totaled US$90 million, plus the Chicago City Hall's investment of US$30 million, and the Bulls' own investment of US$60 million, a total of US$180 million was built to build a new arena. United Airlines invested the most  , in addition to having the long-term right to use a store like other sponsors, they can also pay US$1 million per year to have the long-term naming rights of the arena, so the arena was named the Chicago United Center and was put into use last Christmas.

    Now that Michael Jordan is back, the United Center has once again become the most watched arena in the basketball world.

    Because of Jordan¡¯s presence, the excitement here is even greater than that of the Great Western Forum Arena in Los Angeles, Madison Square Garden Arena in New York, and North Shore Garden Arena in Boston.

    At 9 o'clock in the evening on October 14, 1995, all the bustling scenes during the day disappeared, and the arena was silent. There were only the sounds of batting the ball, the ball being thrown into the basket, or the sound of the iron being struck.

    Jordan had something to eat after the game. At his age, he would not hang out with his young teammates during the season. Not only him, but Pippen and Rodman are also old players over 30, including Jordan.  When Deman has nothing to do, he just makes a fuss.

    Jordan will turn 33 during the season, Pippen has turned 30, and Rodman will turn 35 during the season. Such ages give people the feeling that they may be very strong and the favorites to win the championship, but they are not people.  The biggest favorite in the eyes.

    In this regard, Jordan was very angry and unhappy, but he was calm.

    Age is a hurdle that cannot be overcome, so he chooses to be self-disciplined.

    In this evening¡¯s game, he was not too tired, so he only played seriously in the third quarter.

    He maintains his physical strength very well, which is the source of his confidence. He believes that with his current skills, as long as his physical strength does not decline seriously, he will be the best basketball player on the planet.

    But he did not slack off because of this. Before the official start of the new season, that is, the start of the regular season, he was preparing for the new season and adjusting his condition all the time.

    Tonight, he took a short rest after dinner and returned to the arena again to prepare for training.

    The team has changed to a new arena, and he also wants to win the championship again in this arena. The key is to defeat Olajuwon and prevent that guy from catching up with him with another championship.

    But after entering the arena, he was surprised that there were actually people in the arena!

    From the bifurcation of the staff passage, he came to the entrance of the visiting team's training ground and saw the kid

    He is just a kid. Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s appearance, Jordan felt that Zhang Hao was just a kid.

    The mid-range shot is the most difficult to practice among all shooting areas, because the mid-range shot cannot be practiced only at a few points or only at a specific distance. In that case, it will be too difficult to defend. I heard that Zhang Hao, a rookie, has an excellent mid-range shot, so Jordan  Interest arose before the game.

    In the following games, Zhang Hao surprised Jordan even more, his talent was visible to the naked eye!

    But that¡¯s all. Zhang Hao is still too weak to pose any threat to Jordan. Even Jordan is not sure whether Zhang Hao will have grown up when he retires again.

    Growth is possible in four, five, five or six years, but Jordan has no intention of playing until then.

    Originally, Jordan had forgotten about the barely enjoyable third quarter of the evening, but when he came to the gym for extra practice, he unexpectedly saw that kid again.

    After watching Zhang Hao¡¯s training for a while, Jordan felt his eyes were burning

    Just looking at the mid-range shot is really amazing. At the age of 18, having such a mid-range shot right after graduating from high school must be a combination of talent and hard work. Jordan has gone all the way to the top of the basketball world. He knows that it is not easy to reach Zhang Hao's level.  things.

    But apart from mid-range shooting, in Jordan's view, Zhang Hao's other skills are useless.

    Dribbling is only at the amateur level, turning over and shooting jump shots probably the only advantage is that he is more dexterous than his body size should be.

    Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Hao found someone coming when he was picking up the ball. It was Jordan!

    Zhang Hao was of course very excited when he saw Jordan when he was not in the game. He shouted loudly: "Mr. Jordan, are you here for training too?"

    After the game and dinner, Zhang Hao couldn't wait to practice his turnaround jump shot. He asked Randy Whitman for help, and easily borrowed the Bulls' arena for training.

    ?.

    It¡¯s rewarding, so no matter how boring it is, I persevere.

    Today, this little shabby room has finally changed!

    Zhang Hao knows that this place is just in a dream, because it won¡¯t hurt, feel tired, or sleepy The key is to learn and memorize things here. As long as you memorize them and remember them, you won¡¯t forget them.

    However, the same dream will eventually feel boring. When Zhang Hao occasionally wants to sleep in, he will still choose to sleep normally and have a dream with changes.

    In addition, Zhang Hao regretted that he could not bring anything in here, otherwise it would be good to bring more books to read.

    Today, I finally have something new to learn!  And there¡¯s an extra door!

    Opening the door, Zhang Hao entered a larger space, a large room like a private basketball training hall.

    Basketball court!

    "I can train even in my dreams now?"

    When Zhang Hao raised this question, the subtitles gave a decisive answer: "Technical movement training in the learning mode will not produce muscle memory."

    The idea of ??training every night while sleeping failed

    "etc!"

    Just when Zhang Hao felt regretful, he read the latest prompts of the subtitles again and discovered a problem. It was not that he couldn't train!  It just doesn¡¯t create a training memory in the body!

    "That is to say, I can practice in my dream first, learn how to practice by comparing Jordan's guidance materials and game materials, and then practice during the day; I can also find solutions to problems discovered during training during the day in my dream.  Try to figure it out, and then you can train more efficiently during the day!¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao became excited again. Although it cannot bring muscle memory to reality, it can save him a lot of detours during training!

    These 90 days of life are well spent!

    ¡°My life is gone, I can¡¯t make any more money¡±

    "Others think about how to make money all day long, but I think about how to make a living all day long"

    Zhang Hao is a little worried

    Let¡¯s not think about this for now. Zhang Hao is very curious, how to analyze the technical analysis model?

    As soon as the idea came to him, he saw a "flow of information" appearing in the training room. It gathered together and became the image of Michael Jordan with flashing blue stripes, and began to turn over and shoot jumpers.

    After completing a turn-over jump shot, the technical analysis began. The first was the action of catching the ball with one hand. At the same time, a mechanical electronic explanation voice appeared: "Under the condition of one-on-one with the back, holding the ball with one hand is better than holding the ball with both hands."  Holding the ball can better avoid steals from defensive players. If you are shooting with your right hand, you should use your left foot as the axis and hold the ball with your left hand"

    Amid the mechanical explanation, another "information flow" appeared. This time, it was a man with blue code who was as tall as Jordan. He was not close to Jordan. At this time, Jordan turned over with his left foot and shot a jump shot

    This scene began to repeat in slow motion, and the explanation continued: "When the defensive player is not close, the turning movement can be combined with the pull-up jump shot to complete the attack in the cleanest way. This attack method is extremely difficult and requires a lot of effort.  He has good core strength and shooting accuracy, and the advantage is that he is not easily disturbed and easily causes fouls by defensive players."

    Immediately afterwards, the second turn over jump shot began. The man with the blue code was close to Jordan. Jordan grabbed the ball with his left hand, pressed the man with the blue code with his right shoulder, then leaned against the man with the blue code with his back, and then turned around, but this time  The second turn is not simply to use the left foot as the axis, but to take a step forward with the right foot away from the person with the blue code. Both feet exert force and turn around at the same time, creating a large space for a jump shot

    The action began to repeat in slow motion, and the explanation voice appeared again: "When the defensive player is close, use the back to reasonably impact the defensive player to lower the center of gravity, and then take the opportunity to turn around and use the space of the feet to take off to create a shooting space. This offensive method is difficult  It is one of the most difficult turn-over jump shooting techniques. It requires a physical threat or enough strength to suppress the opponent, as well as excellent flexibility, balance, and jumping. The advantage is that it is easy to create an excellent shooting space. Technical  The requirements are greater than the shooting requirements.¡±

    Immediately afterwards, the third turn over jump shot, this time Jordan received the ball with his back to the basket while running. When the blue code man rushed towards him, he turned over to avoid the blue code man's interference and took a jump shot.

    As soon as the third picture came out, Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes lit up!

    This is the turnaround jump shot he wants!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 62 62. The thickness of my face has increased greatly (please give me a monthly recommendation!)

    He can also learn the first two turnaround jump shots, but he won't be able to use them for a while. That's it. He can have a chance to try them in the game, and maybe he can get good at them after practicing for a while.

    After completing one action, the slow-motion repetition began, and the explanation came: "During running, moving with your back to the basket and toward the mid-to-long distance is more conducive to catching the ball and less likely to make mistakes. You can use speed, pick-and-roll, etc. to create space for catching the ball.  Take action immediately after receiving the ball, and it is difficult to be interfered. This technical difficulty requirement is low, but balance, speed, flexibility, and shooting ability are required."

    When Zhang Hao heard this explanation, he thought about it, and the subtitles appeared.

    "The host's learning goal this time: analysis of running position, catching the ball, turning over and shooting jump shots."

    At this time, the man with the blue code came to the top arc to serve, and Jordan's three-dimensional image began to run to various positions on the court to catch the ball, turn around and shoot jumpers.

    They are all about catching the ball, turning over and shooting jump shots. The movements are different at every angle and at different distances from the same angle!

    Zhang Hao looked at Jordan's catch-and-turn jump shot. The arc of the baseline angle was basically higher, and the closer it got to the basket, the higher it got.

    ??In the high post area, the distance is farther when you turn over. The closer this area is to the basket, the faster the shot will be. The further away from the basket, the slower the shot will be and the more pretentious it will be

    After the movements at various angles and distances were demonstrated, the technical analysis study began, and the electronic mechanical explanation came again: "When running to catch the ball, turn over for a jump shot, the movement and body stability control at the moment of catching the ball  It is very important. When you receive the ball, it is the best time to get rid of the defense. You must always pay attention to the position of other players on the field and your own position. When you receive the ball"

    "When taking one or two steps to catch the ball, you need to be ready to shoot while moving. From the moment you catch the ball, you must be ready to shoot. From the foot to the knee joint and waist, you must be ready to shoot.  Abdomen, back, shoulders"

    "The turning action after receiving the ball should be adjusted according to the angle between the receiving position, the basket and the baseline"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°The remaining life is 236 days and the available life is 235 days.¡±

    At 6 a.m. on October 15th, Zhang Hao woke up from his sleep.

    I was struggling in my dream until 4 o'clock in the morning, but now I wake up feeling refreshed.

    When he couldn¡¯t sleep in the next day, Zhang Hao would use the learning mode to sleep because of this effect.

    After taking a look at the remaining lifespan, Zhang Hao decisively turned it off, which made his balls ache just looking at it.

    Get up and wash up.

    Zhang Hao reviewed what he had learned in his dream last night. Before he could get started, he just caught the ball and turned around for a jump shot. He didn't expect that there were so many things that could be analyzed.

    But thinking about it, he thought this was normal. This was Michael Jordan's turnaround jump shot!

    Jordan is not just a singles master. In fact, since Pippen joined the Bulls, Jordan's ball holding rate has not been high. It can be seen from the number of assists that Jordan's average assists per game are decreasing year by year. Before Pippen joined,  He averaged 8 assists per game in a season, and rarely breaks 6 in the future.

    Especially in the first few preseason games of this season, Jordan's assists were between 1-3.

    Zhang Hao thinks Jordan is definitely not bad in terms of ability without the ball as he holds the ball less and moves without the ball more.

    He thought of Kobe who played with Nash that season. As long as Nash was not injured, Kobe's efficiency was so high that even if Nash missed more than 30 games, Kobe had the best efficiency of his career that season.

    The reason for improving efficiency is to be a pure endpoint.

    Although the public rarely discusses Jordan's career plan, Zhang Hao feels that Jordan definitely has a very mature career plan. It is definitely not the skills he only practiced now after his hasty comeback in the second half of last season. After more than a year of retirement, or in the top three  If he wins consecutive championships, or even earlier, he is definitely preparing for the style of play at his current age.

    When Jordan used this move as one of his main scoring methods, it was definitely very mature, otherwise he would not use it as a regular offensive method.

    After spending 4 hours, Zhang Hao only went through the part of catching the ball, turning over and shooting. It was not time to start practicing yet, but after analyzing it, he felt that his progress must be many times faster than Jordan's back then.  Because he can now directly use the latest version of the catch-and-turn jump shot that Jordan has honed for many years. All the detours Jordan took during training have been improved!

    This is actually a part of the post-up But there is no need to consider this for the time being. He feels that he can practice the catch and turn jump shot this morning until he can use it as a regular offensive method in the game.  Pretty good.

    Zhang Hao analyzed it and found that his progress in catching and shooting has slowed down after reaching the first-class level. MaybeLess topics.

    Today, the topic related to rookies was mentioned again.

    On Garnett¡¯s side, after a few preseason games, his reputation gradually grew.

    Played 28 minutes, 8 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals. This is the data Garnett got when he played against the Suns yesterday. After a few games, his talent has been widely recognized, although he is not regarded as such.  He was the favorite for Rookie of the Year, but he became the talent most promising to become a superstar in the 1995 class according to the media.

    Garnett's rookie year data prediction is about 8 points and 5 rebounds per game. Public opinion generally believes that this prediction is reasonable, but Garnett's talent has also been recognized. Talent represents the future. Many people think that the Timberwolves  There will be opportunities to rise in the future, because Garnett's talent is indeed visible to the naked eye.

    In the column section, Zhang Hao saw an interesting comment - 1995 may become a great year for power forwards.

    Rasheed Wallace, who has all-round offensive skills, Antonio McDyess, a strong defensive player, Kevin Garnett, who is extremely talented, and Zhang Hao, a power forward with the shooting and athletic ability of a shooting guard.  .

    There are four players with All-Star talent at a certain position in a draft, which is enough to be called a big draft year for that position.

    "Is it possible that Iwill become the strongest one?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 63 63. When dreams come true (please vote for me and recommend me!)

    In the first second of the second day, Zhang Hao entered the learning mode again.

    He went directly to the training room. This time, he was going to start simulating training on turning over and shooting jump shots.

    As soon as I thought about it, a three-dimensional image of Jordan appeared next to him and began to catch the ball, turn over and shoot in slow motion.

    ¡° Different from simply practicing movements during the day, the training here not only practices movements, but also keeps in mind the details of Jordan¡¯s turn.

    Zhang Hao always feels that the time is too short to learn a new technology, which will definitely help him a lot.

    Soon, 4 hours passed and Zhang Hao "slept" again. When he woke up again, it was already 6:30 in the morning.

    "Remaining life span is 232 days, available life span is 231 days"

    After washing up and having breakfast, Zhang Hao came to the Continental Airlines Arena early. There was a game tonight, so the amount of training was not heavy. First, he completed 200 catch-and-turn jump shots with the help of the trainer, and also followed the "dream" training.  After practicing the movements, compared to the first day, the movements are obviously more decent now.

    For each group of 100, the first 50 catch-and-turn jump shots in each group are pure practice exercises. For the next 50, start trying to find your center when catching the ball, turning over and shooting.

    CIC¡¯s basic skills have been solid to the top level, and it has indeed brought many benefits. Although the details have not been polished yet, when Zhang Hao tried to find his aim, he found that his aim was pretty good!  The first set of training went better than expected.

    He believes that as he learns the technical details of the catch-and-turn jump shot and shoots with this technique, he will soon be able to bring out his top-level mid-range shooting ability.

    When Zhang Hao¡¯s second set of training ended, the prompt came!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao: Catching and shooting improved from 87 to 88"

    "It's true!"

    Zhang Hao has previously analyzed that after reaching a first-class level in catching and shooting, it will be difficult to improve in regular training, so he has been thinking of ways to expand his shooting methods. Now, it has been proven that he was right!

    People feel refreshed during happy events, and Zhang Hao was in a happy mood.

    But one onlooker was in extremely complicated mood.

    Kenny Anderson went out very early today. When he drove to the arena, he happened to see Zhang Hao walking into the arena gate. He parked the car and came to the training ground. He chose to watch Zhang Hao train first.

    As a player close to the top level, Kenny Anderson, who is not weak in three-pointers, mid-range shots, and offense at the basket, has naturally gone through the stage of polishing his skills. He naturally knows the difficulty of developing a new technology.

    The process is simple to say, imitate, think, improve, and then continue to strengthen through actual combat, but it often takes a long time, and the most troublesome thing is from imitating to having a certain practical foundation, which often takes the longest time.  , it depends on whether you have talent in that area and whether you work hard.

    When it comes to shooting, Kenny Anderson knew Zhang Hao had talent from the first time he met him, but this talent is too good!

    In just a few days, Zhang Hao's catch-and-turn jump shot has already taken shape!

    After Kenny Anderson finished practicing Zhang Hao¡¯s second set of catching the ball, turning over and taking the lead, he couldn¡¯t help but go up and ask: ¡°Akers, how did you practice? How did you learn so fast?¡±

    Some things cannot be explained clearly. Zhang Hao thought for a while, looked at Kenny Anderson and said, "That's it, watch it once, and then practice it, and you will learn it."

    ""

    Kenny Anderson Online Q&A: "The team has a talented rookie who is my younger brother. I am the boss of the team. I want to kill this younger brother. How can I kill him without affecting such a younger brother?"  Will the talented rookie be my helper?"

    ¡­¡­

    That evening, during the game between the Nets and the Magic, Kenny Anderson played particularly hard.

    With such a degree of risk-taking, the players on the Magic team all suspected that someone in the team put some indescribable color on the hat of this top point guard last night.

    Without Anfernee Hardaway and O'Neal, the Magic's overall strength is indeed not a strong team. Brian Shaw, Nick Anderson, Denise Scott, Horace Grant, Joe Wolf, the Magic  The team's five starters tonight are all very good starters or high-quality role players. With Anfernee Hardaway, he is definitely at the playoff level, and with O'Neal there, he is even more championship-level, but without these two  Man, the Magic are nowhere near as good as the Nets with Kenny Anderson and Almon Gilliam.

    By the second half of the third quarter, the Magic players' desire to win had faded. For them, it was just a preseason game.

    In the end, the Nets defeated the Magic 103-87.

    "It doesn't matter whether the players on the Magic team win or lose, but the Nets are very happythe players who have the opportunity to play are very happy, it's guaranteedHe is an NBA player, and Butch Baird was also selected as an All-Star. Looking back on those days, people were so popular

    Before they knew it, the two of them had been standing there for more than an hour. They had watched Zhang Hao's entire training. The mid-range shooting training was particularly comfortable to watch, the layup training was also passable, and the three-point training was not worth watching They had finished watching it. Waiting for Zhang Hao  When they went to the physical therapy room for massage to relax their muscles, the two of them discovered that their legs were sore from standing.

    "Butch, I actually had doubts before about whether I should give up my current status of easily earning a salary for a high school student. Now, I know why you chose this. Aix's talent is even more terrifying than I previously expected!  "

    "Actually" Butch Baird thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued: "I thought we just selected a pitcher with All-Star talent, coupled with his athletic ability, we trained him.  Even if we get fired, there will be teams that will appreciate our ability, and now I believe that."

    ¡°All-star talent, this is already a very, very high evaluation.

    Regardless of the fact that there are 24 players selected from the Eastern and Western All-Stars every year, in fact, at least half of the positions are fixed, fixed for several consecutive years, that is, more than 10 rookies are selected in a season.  Some of the All-Stars have been selected before, but there is no guarantee that they will be selected in consecutive years.

    It is difficult, very difficult to create a new All-Star. If a player is selected to the All-Star three or five times in a team, it is basically certain that his jersey will be retired.

    If it weren¡¯t for the No. 1 pick in a big year, it would be very good to select a player who can be selected as an All-Star or two.

    Randy Whitman thinks that the evaluation of a pitcher with All-Star ability is very high. In a championship team, such a pitcher is no less effective than a ball-holding superstar.

    But Randy Whitman was more curious about another thing and asked: "What?"

    "Akers said something when he participated in the dunk conference. He said that he had only practiced basketball for two and a half years."

    ""

    Thinking about Zhang Hao¡¯s hand shot, he only practiced it for two and a half years?

    How can it be!

    It¡¯s not that he only practiced mid-range shooting for two and a half years. What Randy Whitman heard was that Zhang Hao only practiced basketball for two and a half years!

    Such a solid knowledge of off-ball movement, such good catching and shooting ability, such an excellent mid-range shot

    When Zhang Hao participated in the draft, what these teams knew about Zhang Hao was actually more about his physical fitness shown in the dunk contest and how good he was at shooting. Except for Butch Baird, who paid special attention to him,  Other teams don't know that much, so Zhang Hao's draft price ranges from the end of the first round to the middle of the second round.

    Regardless of physical fitness, Zhang Hao's strengths are only those three items, but those three items cannot be practiced in a year or two.

    Randy Whitman couldn¡¯t believe it. However, looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s training posture, he was obviously learning from Jordan. It was almost certain that he started learning after playing against the Bulls, and the learning progress he had to believe

    This is really a super genius who has been practicing basketball for two and a half years!

    With the information dissemination stagnant, the two people, who had never watched Zhang Hao¡¯s high school games, began to have wild thoughts - they might be cultivating a superstar!

    There seem to be quite a few basketball superstars in the minds of the public. We can see news about a lot of superstars every day.

    But at the end of the day, those people are assigned to each team. There are only a few teams with players who are real superstars, and some two superstars are on the same team. More teams are like the Nets.  For the first time, they got a first-to-top-level star like Coleman and Kenny Anderson, and they are already very good.

    So, after the Timberwolves selected Garnett and confirmed Garnett's talent, they showed it off every day for three days. Butch Baird and Randy Whitman were just joking about it and didn't think it was anything strange.

    The two of them are no longer players. The special feelings for basketball in their hearts are actually just hidden. They are running for life and their dreams cannot be eaten.

    But there is really an opportunity right in front of you Even if you don't become a superstar yourself, if you can cultivate a superstar.

    How cool it will be to brag with your grandchildren when you are old!

    Men, no matter how old they are, being cool and handsome is what they pursue.

    ¡°Randy, can we help Ax find two better trainers?¡±

    "I also want to say this. There is no problem with Bobby, but the salary quota given by the boss to the team's assistant coaches and trainers is already full"

    "I think it's almost the same as you and me as the only coaching staff. Let's go discuss it with Bobby."

    "This will offend people. Our team has more than one shareholder."

    "I don't care about him so much"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)"This will offend people. Our team has more than one shareholder."

 Chapter 64 64. I am older than you!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    For a moment, Butch Baird seemed to have returned to 20 years ago, speaking out his favorite catchphrase at that time.

    If Zhang Hao hadn't joined, the Nets would have been a company that was rotten to the core, with a lot of people stuffed into it. It was all bad anyway, otherwise they wouldn't have let Butch Baird.  The scouting director and Randy Whitman, a recently retired rookie coach, were in charge of the coaching staff.

    " If you want to remove someone who gets paid for free, you may offend someone, but their ambition is no longer here, so they don't care.

    Also, there is a difference between NBA teams and ordinary companies. Generally speaking, if a superstar is really cultivated or a superstar is obtained through trade or signing, the big boss will definitely take action to clean up the team, but only when it is bad.  It doesn't matter, because bad teams have compensation, which is high draft picks.

    The two coaches made up their minds and went to find general manager Bobby Marx to make a fuss.

    Zhang Hao, after finishing the muscle-relaxing massage, is going back to the apartment to play the red and white computer or read a book, take a nap at noon, and then train again in the afternoon.

    Rest is also important.

    Zhang Hao is very satisfied with the progress of today's training. He has been practicing hard in the dream state every night in learning mode, and his efforts have not been in vain.

    He felt that he might have been too hasty and took too big a step, but in fact, it just happened because he was standing on the shoulders of giants and had advantages that others could not match.

    The key is whether this giant is the god of basketball

    The day passed quickly, and on the evening of the 21st, the Nets ushered in a home game against the Bucks.

    The Bucks are absolutely a bad team, and the major media are looking forward to the Bucks. However, Randy Whitman directly used the word "bad team" to describe the Bucks during team training.

    Seeing the Bucks¡¯ lineup, Zhang Hao couldn¡¯t connect them with a bad team no matter what, but the reality is so weird

    ¡°Glenn Robinson, ability evaluation 86¡­

    Wen-Baker, ability evaluation is 85"

    Except for these two people, the rest of the Bucks are not very good, but with two players on the edge of the All-Star level, they can actually perform like this?

    But after halftime, looking at the score of 51 to 42the opponent is indeed the best.

    In the first half, the Nets completely dominated the opponent!

    He played 11 minutes in the first half, took 5 shots, made 3 of 5 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points. The opponent had no defense at all, and the offensive end was messy.

    He knew in his previous life that Glenn Robinson was weird when he played, and now he finally understood how weird he was - he only thought about getting data and didn't care about anything else.

    Brother Wolfberry is not like this either!

    After the second half of the game started, Kenny Anderson led his team to a 6-0 start, establishing a 15-point gap.

    In the next few minutes, Glenn Robinson acted as if he didn't see the point difference. He made a sudden shot and raised his personal score to 20 points. He felt like he didn't want to play at all.

    At this time, the point difference has reached 22 points, and the Nets lead 77 to 55.

    Kenny Anderson was replaced, but Zhang Hao was replaced. He received instructions from the coaching staff and went up to practice catch-and-turn jump shots during the game!

    There are more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, and it has already entered garbage time. Not to mention this is a preseason game, even if it is the regular season, the Bucks have no idea of ??chasing points.

    Putting aside his curiosity and confusion about the opponent's No. 1 pick who had already sat down, Zhang Hao once again stepped onto the court and started the concentrated shooting mode.

    With Childs feeding the ball and playing against the Bucks, Zhang Hao¡¯s training went very smoothly during the game

    It was night, and Zhang Hao entered the learning mode again.

    ¡°The remaining life is 248 days and the available life is 247 days.¡±

    Entering the dreamland, Zhang Hao looked at his lifespan, and it was reduced by one day. Fortunately, when the game ended last night and he won 4 preseason games, Zhang Hao got the 15-day lifespan reward for winning 4 preseason games.  , plus 1 day of competition participation rewards and two days of winning rewards, the life span has been increased by 18 days.

    In a good mood, Zhang Hao immediately devoted himself to simulation training.

    In this game with the Bucks, I was prepared to use catch-and-turn jumpers in the game. I was a little tough, but I gained a lot. Now I can use it for comparison and better analyze what I didn't do well.  , so that you can adjust it during training or competition.

    Another day and night passed in a row. I got up in the morning and continued to train in the gym. I finally had something new. If Zhang Hao didn't think about his body, he wouldn't rest for a moment

    Although there is; He knew what Wang Zhizhi needed most at this time, and said in a relaxed tone: "I have known for a long time that you can do it. Be confident, and you will definitely become their star player."

    If Zhang Hao¡¯s answer is congratulations, Wang Zhizhi will be very happy, but maybe after being happy, he won¡¯t have many other ideas, and he may worry about gains and losses again later.

    But Zhang Hao drew a cake Painting cakes is always criticized by people, but it has to be admitted that painting cakes can indeed easily stimulate the enthusiasm of young people, especially those born in the 1970s.

    Wang Zhizhi also began to think about it at this moment

    At this time, Zhang Hao said again: "It's just that the real suffering has just begun, and you have to be prepared to deal with it."

    When Wang Zhizhi heard this, he put away his imagination and responded: "I know, I will work hard. If it weren't for you, big brother, I wouldn't have the opportunity to enter the main team so quickly. I know that I have to rely on myself next."

    "Me? Did I help you?"

    "It's like this. After I participated in the club's training match this morning, the coach asked me to go to his office. I thought he was going to transfer me to the basketball team of the cooperative school. Unexpectedly, he informed me that I would be selected for the main team roster.  Tell me that it was because of your performance in the preseason that you decided to make me the main attacking point of my team in today's training match"

    Listening to Wang Zhizhi¡¯s narration, Zhang Hao roughly understood what happened.

    co-author, even if Wang Zhizhi holds the title of "the number one center in the World Youth Championship", he failed to get a chance to perform in the previous training matches.

    Counting it all together, it¡¯s been two months since school started in August!  As far as Zhang Hao knows, at the end of August, Georgetown University has already started selecting its main players for the new season.

    Opportunity is really important. Zhang Hao did not expect that his performance in the NBA would help Wang Zhizhi, which made him very happy.

    Of course, if there is an opportunity, Wang Zhizhi must have the ability to seize it.

    Thanks to Wang Zhizhi, he did not feel depressed after sitting on the bench in training games for the past two months!

    After chatting for a while, Wang Zhizhi got down to business: "Brother, today the coach asked me to discuss something. He asked me to choose a clear position. I don't know how to decide. I want to ask you, are you better than the national team?"  The older brothers on the team know more about American basketball. You know, Iwant to enter the NBA. Brother, don¡¯t laugh at me, I really want to enter the NBA."

    Zhang Hao felt so happy hearing the words "big brother" after another. In a few years, when Yao enters the NBA, will he also have to be called "big brother"?

    At this moment, Zhang Hao understood why Kenny Anderson liked to hear people call him big brother so much. It was really cool!  The pride I felt when I was a kid watching Young and Dangerous emerged - I, Zhang, are the leader of the American division of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team!

    But I had business matters, so I didn¡¯t have time to reflect on it for Zhang Hao, so he asked, ¡°What do you think your position is?¡±

    "I also asked the coach what position I should choose. He gave me two directions. One is to maintain weight and become a traditional inside man; the other is to lose weight and become a shooting inside man. The coach analyzed it for me.  , these two positions are most suitable for me, but each has its own pros and cons"

    Wang Zhizhi told Zhang Hao the analysis of the head coach of Georgetown University.

    It¡¯s very simple. Wang Zhizhi weighs a lot now, 116 kilograms, and is only 18 years old. He is mainly fat. He must lose fat and gain muscle. However, he is used to his style of play. After losing fat and building muscle, his technical adjustments will not be too big.

    And Wang Zhizhi is very flexible and has the footwork to play the traditional center route.

    The disadvantage is that Wang Zhizhi is not good at explosiveness. Taking this path may make his market price drop during the draft.

    Wang Zhizhi¡¯s shooting talent is also visible, so another way is to go in the direction of a shooting-type inside, more towards a power forward.

    Zhang Hao feels that this is more suitable for Wang Zhizhi's NBA dream, but the problem is that the risk has become greater. It is estimated that he will have to lose about 10 kilograms. After his body has fully grown, his weight will have to be maintained at about 110 kilograms. His playing style will definitely change suddenly. The previous tonnage  The advantage is probably gone.

    But if he wants to enter the NBA, Wang Zhizhi¡¯s weight will have no tonnage advantage at all

    Zhang Hao was thinking when the subtitle prompt came again.

    ¡°If the host intervenes in Wang Zhizhi¡¯s career positioning choice, the personal training contract will be completed.

    After signing the contract, the host must take the initiative to promise to Wang Zhizhi that he can guide his growth at any time.

    Training goal: Wang Zhizhi becomes a first-round pick in the NBA draft.

    During the training period, the host will receive life-span rewards such as Wang Zhizhi¡¯s participation in competitions, winning competitions, winning awards, etc. If Wang Zhizhi is successfully selected for the first round, he will receive additional rewards based on his selection.

    Failure penalty: If Wang Zhizhi fails to be selected in the first round of the NBA draft after his college basketball career ends, the lifespan bonus received by the host during this period will be doubled in total.  "

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)If you can be selected in the first round of the NBA draft, the lifespan bonus received by the host during this period will be doubled in total.  "

 Chapter 65 65. New technical guidance (please ask for monthly votes and recommendation votes)

    When Zhang Hao saw the personal trainer signing notice that suddenly appeared, his breathing became rapid involuntarily.

    After Wang Zhizhi finished speaking, he saw that the other party did not reply for a while, and he was not in a hurry. He knew that the other party also needed time to think before he dared to reply to him. This actually made him feel at ease, and it was not just a casual comment.

    As for the phone billit's not important. The staff stationed at Xinhua News Agency don't care about the phone bill, and Wang Zhizhi doesn't care about it either.

    He came here to learn English and reported to the club. The school team coach also hoped that he could learn English well early, otherwise communication would be difficult and he would have to find a translator.

    After Zhang Hao reacted, he fell into ecstasy!

    Looking at the rewards and punishments on the subtitleswhat kind of punishments are not punished? How can you care so much now?

    Looking at this situation, Wang Zhizhi will definitely have to play for 3-4 years before participating in the draft. In the past few years, it is not said that he has been prostituted for nothing, but it is not far behind. Zhang Hao does not believe that Wang Zhizhi will not be able to enter the first round of the NCAA after playing for a few years  ¡­

    "Wait a minute, if I, the eldest brother, gave blind advice and spoiled the general idea, I would deserve to be killed, but delaying him would really be a big sin."

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao tried to calm himself down. Intervention is definitely necessary, and there is a direction, mainly for future guidance He still needs to know more, be stronger, and have the ability.

    He remembered that the new season of Georgetown University started on November 2nd. He estimated that if Wang Zhizhi entered the main team this season and could represent Georgetown University, it would be difficult to become a starter. Weight loss, adjustment of playing style, etc. would all take time.  , there won¡¯t be too much guidance during this period. The school is professional, and the main guidance should be given during the offseason.

    Zhang Hao is still very confident in Wang Zhizhi's talent. After calmly analyzing it, he said to Wang Zhizhi on the other end of the phone: "I suggest you choose the path of shooting inside"

    After a pause and not waiting for the other party to speak, Zhang Hao continued: "We must make good use of our own advantages and avoid our disadvantages. There is no need to compare our weak side with the other party. Just like playing a game, we must find ways to use what we are good at."  Use your skills to develop, instead of having to do what you are not good at

    It just so happens that I also play shooting. If you have any questions in the future, you can call me. I will work with you to find a way to help you in this regard as much as possible.  "

    This suggestion is in line with what Wang Zhizhi on the other end of the phone thinks. He just wants to find one more person to ask to give him confidence and motivation. Zhang Hao is the perfect candidate for this.

    It was Zhang Hao¡¯s words that made Wang Zhizhi happy!

    Compared with Zhang Hao who thought of Wang Zhizhi after a long time and would intentionally inquire about it from Xinhua News Agency or Imperial Taiwan, Wang Zhizhi inquired about Zhang Hao's affairs every day. Since Zhang Hao officially joined the Nets, Zhang Hao has shown his golf intelligence,  Talent, combat prowess, learning abilityWang Zhizhi knew it all.

    ¡°We said we were discussing together, isn¡¯t this just to help him and guide him?

    Of course you have to agree!

    The moment Wang Zhizhi had such an idea, for some reason, this idea continued to deepen

    "Brother, I will work hard to learn from you!" Wang Zhizhi seemed to be more excited than when he was selected for the main team in the morning.

    "Furthermore, Wang Zhizhi doesn't think there's anything shameful about learning from someone of his own age. They are just more talented and smarter. Besides, in a foreign country, the only person you can count on to be good at basketball is Zhang Hao. That one from the University of Utah is a rip-off!"

    After Wang Zhizhi came to the United States, he also felt how bad Ma Jian was, and he also understood why Zhang Hao didn't even want to give a full basketball scholarship to a local university in California. Ma Jian joined the University of Utah with a full basketball scholarship last year, but he was cheated out of nowhere.  .

    Ma Jian happened to be the first Chinese player to receive a full basketball scholarship to a Division I university, and he suddenly became the representative image of young Chinese basketball players in the American college basketball world.

    When Wang Zhizhi responded, Zhang Hao received the prompt.

    "The host has successfully signed a contract with Wang Zhizhi to become his personal coach at the university level."

    "Driving by the influence of the host, the contracted player Wang Zhizhi has successfully entered the Georgetown University Hoyas and became a main player. He will represent the Hoyas in the 1995-1996 NCAA Basketball Championship. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: a 30-day life span.  "

    "Signed player Wang Zhizhi has become a player on the NCAA Basketball Championship Division I school team. As a main rotation player (playing time exceeds 15 minutes), every time he participates in a game on behalf of the Hoyas, the host will receive a 1-day lifespan participation reward. If he plays as a  The main rotation (more than 15 minutes of playing time) helps the Hoyas win the game, and the host can receive an extra day of life bonus.; When it was almost 3 o'clock, Zhang Hao saw the coaching staff coming. However, except for Butch Baird and Randy Whitman, the other two were not assistant coaches whom he had met many times before but was not familiar with at all.

    The players gathered around, and Butch Baird said: "Here, let me introduce our team's new assistant coach and shooting coach Chris Irving. You have all met him. We worked together during the training camp. This is Al.  Wan Adams, All-Star center, whose jersey still hangs over the Suns Arena, is now our inside technical director"

    Zhang Hao knows Chris Irving. He coached him on shooting during the previous training camp. Alvan Adams seemed to be somewhat impressed by him, but he couldn¡¯t remember.

    At this time, the subtitle prompt comes.

    ¡°Alvan Adams, center-power forward, was selected by the Suns with the fourth overall pick in the first round of the 1975 NBA draft.

    Career length is 13 years.

    Peak season: 1975-1976 season, averaging 19 points, 9.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

    Honors: 1975-1976 Rookie of the Year, 1975-1976 All-Rookie First Team, 1975-1976 All-Star Reserve, Suns history rebounding leader, Suns history steals leader, Suns history assists leader  , In 1990, the Suns retired his No. 33 jersey.

    Best single-game performance: 47 points, 18 rebounds and 12 assists in a single game on February 22, 1977.

    During his career, he was 206 centimeters tall and weighed 94-98 kilograms"

    ??A rookie is a peak star?

    When Zhang Hao saw that Alvan Adams¡¯ peak season was actually his rookie season, he wanted to complain, but when he saw the last item, his eyes started blinking non-stop.

    How come this body shape is so similar to that of Zhang?

    Before he could think about it, Randy Whitman spoke: "Guys, congratulations, you all stayed. We have played the last game of the preseason. We will treat this game as a regular season game."  In the final preparation time, we have to win and usher in the new season with victory.

    Our main roster has been determined, Kenny, Chris, Kevin, Greg, Almon, Vaughn, Jason, PJ, Akers, you will occupy the most playing time in the new season, except for the others  The injured Yinka is also on the active list.

    Don¡¯t feel like you have nothing to do even if you are not on the main roster. Be ready to play at any time. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. These main players have seized their opportunities. I hope you will do the same.  "

    Randy Whitman still spoke so straightforwardly and his tone was still so plain, but what he said this time made even players who were not regarded as the main players feel excited. For the time being, there is no need to worry about being laid off!

    When Randy Whitman announced the 12-person activation list, Zhang Hao¡¯s system prompt came!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao has successfully passed the Nets training camp and will represent the Nets in the 1995-1996 regular season. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 90 days of life.

    If Zhang Hao plays more than 15 minutes in a regular season game, the host will receive a 1-day lifespan reward. If he helps the team win the game, he will receive an additional 4-day lifespan reward.

    The remaining life is 368 days and the usable life is 367 days.  "

    90-day lifespan reward!

    Zhang Hao tried his best to calm down, started the new season, and was shortlisted for the activation list of 12 people. With this reward, it is probably only once a season.

    To survive, 90 days is not enough, you must seize other opportunities!

    And unlike the preseason, 15 minutes of playing time is only available for the main rotation players. Generally speaking, a team's main rotation is 9-10 people. The Nets just made up 9 main players.  Rotation, it just so happens that he, Zhang, is one of them!

    At this time, he suddenly remembered that in the original time and space in the 2010-2011 season, he saw the news that Nash surpassed Alvan Adams to become the assist leader in the history of the Suns. He deliberately checked who this person was, and when he saw it,  Awesome!

    Regardless of honors, just look at the data. He is the number one player in the history of the Suns. As of the 2010-11 season, he ranks first in rebounds, second in scoring, second in assists, and first in steals in Suns history.  Ranked fourth in blocks and first in appearances.

    "Are you here to teach me specifically? Adams' offensive skills, passing ability, rebounding ability, defense should all be very good. He just got 90 days of life"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 66 66. You need to learn to pass the ball (please vote for me and recommend me)

    Tactical training is simple to say, that is, the trainer explains the changes in tactics, and then explains the changed tactics again. The goal of training is simpler, just practice until you remember how to run.

    As for the players who really can¡¯t remember the tactics, there¡¯s nothing they can do. If there are replacement players, just replace them

    ¡°There is really no way, then there is really no way.

    There are no good players in the team, and the tactics are useless.

    The two tactical training sessions in the afternoon are over, and today¡¯s team training is over.

    After Zhang Hao¡¯s training and physical therapy, he was called to the head coach¡¯s office.

    Arriving at Butch Baird¡¯s office, Zhang Hao saw that in addition to Butch Baird, Randy Whitman was also there, as well as the team¡¯s new shooting assistant and technical instructor.

    "Akers, starting tomorrow, your shooting training will be handed over to Chris. He is a very good shooting coach. Many stars will hire him as a personal trainer in the summer. He will give you the most professional guidance.

    In addition to shooting, we also hope that you can improve your passing and defense, and make good use of your excellent vision and passing awareness. Alvan is very similar to you, and you must learn from him.  "Randy Whitman finished the training arrangements for Zhang Hao simply and directly.

    ¡°Both of them were specially found for him, Zhang?

    Zhang Hao's breathing quickened, and he quickly calmed down. He smiled and said to the two new members of the coaching staff: "Chris, Alwan, I have to take care of you next."

    They raised their hands to avoid hitting the smiling person. The two of them were here to work, and when they exchanged work content with the two coaches, they knew that their main responsibility was to train Zhang Hao. Seeing that Zhang Hao had such a good attitude, they were in a good mood and felt respected.  .

    ¡°It¡¯s my honor to help a shooting genius like you train.¡±

    "Randy is wrong, we are not that similar. I watched your training just now, and your speed and shooting are much better than when I was a rookie"

    After chatting for a while, Zhang Hao looked at the assistant coach the team hired specifically to guide his training.

    Chris Irving is very young. During the training camp, he knew that he was a shooting master who was very good at shooting in college. However, he failed to enter the NBA. He retired after playing in Europe for a few years and started working as a shooting coach at the age of 30.  , has become quite famous in the field of shooting personal training in a few years.

    It has been seven or eight years since Alvan Adams retired. He is only 41 years old this year. He has maintained his body shape very well, that is, he is thin. At this age, he is probably still over 100 kilograms.

    Looking at the two of them, mainly the latter, Zhang Hao seemed to have seen a valuable technical database of players of the same type!

    ¡­¡­

    It was night, Zhang Hao continued to spin, and once again simulated the problems encountered during the day's training against Jordan's catch, turn, and jump materials.

    It is difficult to get started, easy to improve, and difficult to master. Zhang Hao stepped on the shoulders of giants. It was not troublesome to get through the difficulty of getting started. When he reached the stage of promotion, he made great progress.

    The next day, October 23, the day before the game against the Timberwolves, Zhang Hao came to the arena to train again before 8 o'clock in the morning.

    Chris Irving arrived very early and started coaching Zhang Hao on his shooting on the first day of work.

    Mainly detailed guidance, and Zhang Hao knows as much as Chris Irving about regular shooting and turn-over jump shots. The two can have a good discussion. The advantage of Chris Irving is that he is an outsider and can see intuitively.  Zhang Hao can only feel Zhang Hao's shortcomings. Each has its own advantages, but they can be compared relatively.

    On the other hand, Alvan Adams did not come to teach Zhang Hao how to pass from the beginning. Instead, he came during the team training stage to observe Zhang Hao's training.

    Zhang Hao is not a person who wants to keep up his face, but is very eager to learn. After the team training in the morning, he took the initiative to ask Alvan Adams what he wanted to learn.

    Alvan Adams looked at Zhang Hao who was full of curiosity and smiled: "I will observe your game carefully in the afternoon and tomorrow's game, and then make a training plan. Passing is not a simple matter. You have the experience of playing real team games."  Too little, I know too little about you, you need more game experience, and I need to know more about you."

    In a very professional manner, Zhang Hao nodded: "I understand."

    After thinking about it, Alvan Adams continued: "There is one thing you can start to learn now. Don't just treat yourself as a pure pitcher in training. I learned from Butch that your running position is very good. You can try it.  Change your thinking about running positions, don¡¯t just think of yourself as a containment point or a shooting point, but as a part of the team.¡±

    No one mentioned this, Zhang Hao really didn¡¯t notice itsp;Jason Williams shouted to Zhang Hao impatiently: "Akers, the new assistant coach asked me to inform you that Chris and I are going to accompany you to practice pick-and-split ball tomorrow morning. Don't  late."

    After saying that, Jason Williams left.

    Zhang Hao and others don¡¯t find it strange, Jason Williams has this kind of character.

    "Garnett is in a mess He is also taken care of by the coaching staff in the team, and even the president takes care of him, but his teammates dislike him even more because of this, and Zhang Hao?

    Zhang Hao didn't care about Jason Williams' attitude. It's good if he is willing to cooperate. With his attention back, Zhang Hao said to his three teammates: "Let me introduce to you. This is Kevin Garnett, a talented high school power forward.  , you should have seen news about him, Kevin, this is Kenny Anderson, the boss of our team, P.J. Brown, the best big man, and Vaughn Fleming, our locker room leader."

    Garnett was still feeling dizzy and didn¡¯t reply for a while.

    "Hurry up, Akers, I have to go back to Jersey City after dinner." Seeing Garnett didn't respond, Kenny Anderson frowned and pulled Zhang Hao away.

    Seeing Garnett¡¯s unapproachable appearance and impolite attitude, Kenny Anderson became impatient.

    The other two people had similar thoughts. When they saw Zhang Hao being taken away, they followed him and ignored Garnett.

    When Zhang Hao was pulled away, he did not forget to shout to Garnett: "Kevin, we have a dinner date after the preseason"

    After watching Zhang Hao and his group walk away, Garnett came back to his senses.

    "We are all high school students, why am I so miserable and he is so awesome?"

    Garnett was puzzled. Now that he had come to his senses and thought of the scene just now, he knew that he was hated again.

    Thinking that he would become a thorn in the side wherever he went He regarded this as the jealousy of others!

    I can¡¯t understand why Zhang Hao, who is also a high school student, is so showy. Garnett envies him but has no intention of learning from him. He has always known that he is not likeable, and even strangers have a good attitude toward him after getting to know him.  not much.

    Garnett never thought about how to change this situation, because in his previous life, he could not show weakness on the surface. Over time, he had a personal understanding of weakness and toughness in his mind.

    Looking at the backs of Zhang Hao and his group, he had an idea at this moment - "Since everyone dislikes me, then I will become the one that everyone dislikes the most!"

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao didn't pay much attention to Garnett's character. The Garnett he knew was much worse than this.

    But while eating, he remembered one thing - when he was in the Adidas training camp, his height was almost as high as Garnett's nose.

    Zhang Hao thought about it when he and Garnett stood together just now, and it seemed that the height gap had become even bigger!  But when the Timberwolves lineup was analyzed during the team meeting before tactical training in the morning, Garnett's registered height was still 211 centimeters

    In other words, Garnett grew more taller than Zhang when he was 19 years old in the summer, but there was no update, or

    Zhang Hao thought about it, and it seemed that Garnett was obviously taller than the actual 211 cm PJ Brown.

    "You're such a shameless person! What kind of shameless person can you do to lie about your height?"

    After dinner, Zhang Hao returned to the arena with the three of them. The three of them drove back to Jersey City. Zhang Hao walked to the arena for a while after dinner, preparing to practice his turnaround jump shot for a while.

    His current training goal is to get to the point where the idea of ??doing an action pops up in his mind and his body can perform it smoothly, instead of having to prepare in advance like now.

    This preparation first means that during the running process, it is already determined that the offense is going to catch the ball, turn around and shoot, but sometimes the opportunity is not planned and suddenly comes and there is no time to prepare for him, but he can react to it.  In that attack, I had to choose a turn-over jump shot, but because I wasn't prepared in advance, I didn't do it well enough.

    This means that the basic skills are not enough.

    Entering the arena, when Zhang Hao walked from the staff passage to the forked road at the entrance of the home and away team¡¯s training ground, he saw lights on the side of the away team¡¯s training ground.

    "This is¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao walked in and took a look. He guessed right. It was Garnett, practicing his big shot.

    With both fighting in an iron-blooded style, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for each other.

    In some aspects, Garnett is much sharper than Zhang Hao. He immediately noticed Zhang Hao's arrival, picked up the ball that he had just shot, and threw it to Zhang Hao: "Train together?"

    "Okay." Zhang Hao did not refuse and took off his jacket, revealing sportswear underneath.

    Seeing Zhang Hao starting to warm up, Garnett hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask: "Why do you have such a good relationship with your teammates?"

    Such a question suddenly came up. Zhang Hao didn't react for a moment. He wanted to be more tactful and responded: "Maybe I am more likable."

    It was already very tactful, but with this answer, Garnett simply turned his head and continued training, ignoring Zhang Hao.

    "" Zhang Hao really couldn't think of any better words to use for Garnett. You can't lie, right?  This guy really can¡¯t find a place to praise!  Don¡¯t you have any comparisons in mind?

 Chapter 67 67. People have never been able to empathize with each other (please vote for me and recommend me)

    The atmosphere is very awkward, but it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s training. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s awkward or not. Practice and you¡¯ll be fine.

    Originally, Zhang Hao hadn't seen Garnett for a long time and thought he might have a lot to say when they met again, but when they were alone, they didn't start chatting The main reason was that he messed up the atmosphere. During the training process, there was nothing but the ball and the basket.  , the floor, the sound of hands touching, nothing else.

    There are many things to talk about, such as after the draft, after joining the team, etc., but there is almost no communication.

    However, Zhang Hao felt that this situation was normal. If Garnett became enthusiastic, he would feel that it was abnormal.

    After the extra training, Zhang Hao returned to the apartment to take a shower and go to bed, and another night of continuous racing began.

    Enter learning mode again.

    He did not continue the simulation training of turning over jump shots. What Alvan Adams said to him made him decide to rethink the running position.

    Indeed, he had previously regarded himself simply as a pitcher and the last pass option.

    "I'll take a look again"

    Zhang Hao took out "Movement Master" and prepared to study the movement route again, change the angle, and use another way to insert himself into it.

    ??The same running route map, the same running analysis, the same running details on the TV screen Looking at it from a different perspective, Zhang Hao seemed to have discovered a new world.

    Originally, Zhang Hao no longer wanted to read the book "Movement Master", videos and other things. Now, he has found the joy of learning again.

    The night passed, and when Zhang Hao woke up at 6:30 in the morning, he thought about his study last night and couldn't help but sigh: "For an industry to reach its peak, I still have a lot to learn!"

    In terms of movement alone, he thought he was already at the top, but now he realizes that he has just started.

    But he knows that what he thinks of getting started now and what others think of getting started are two different concepts.

    ¡­¡­

    At 11 o'clock in the morning on October 24, the team training ended. There was only one training session this morning, so it ended very early. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, there was the last preseason game to be played.

    "Akers, do you think we can win more than 30 games in the new season?" Kenny Anderson arrived at the last game of the preseason, and suddenly the lack of confidence emerged.

    30 wins was the record achieved by the Nets last season with two stars, Kenny Anderson and Coleman. Although the record was disappointing, they averaged 17 points and 9 assists per game and 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists per game.  data, but now their lineup is not as good as last season.

    What Kenny Anderson wants to do most is to get rid of the title of "Coleman's little brother".

    Once Coleman left, the Nets were regarded as the favorites for the No. 1 pick, which was simply unacceptable to Kenny Anderson.

    But he also knows that even if they gradually develop a proactive mentality in the preseason, it is unlikely to win too many games. Therefore, Kenny Anderson has a small goal, which is to win more games than last season.  .

    ??A very practical goal, a higher goal. Not to mention others, Kenny Anderson himself feels that it is unrealistic.

    However, when other teammates were around, Kenny Anderson would not speak so directly. When he was alone with Zhang Hao, he couldn't help but ask.

    Zhang Hao, who watched the Warriors and Cavaliers play in the finals for many years in his last life, felt that the Nets were so humble

    The Lakers¡¯ record is so bad, and the Lakers fans are still shouting for the Lakers championship every day, but in the end, they are actually the championship after shouting and shouting.

    How can you not have any dreams?

    In Kenny Anderson's expectant eyes, Zhang Hao responded: "I think we can do more than 30 wins. Set a goal, playoffs?"

    Last season, the Celtics, who were eighth in the Eastern Conference, had 35 wins. If the goal is to exceed 30 wins, when Zhang Hao said this, Kenny Anderson thought it was quite normal.

    Compared with other rookies he has played with, Kenny Anderson feels that Zhang Hao is much more pragmatic. After hearing what Zhang Hao said, he also has expectations.

    Maybe we can really return to the playoffs?

    After finishing lunch while chatting, and going back to take a nap, at 1:30, Zhang Hao received a call from the Imperial Court and came to the arena for an interview.

    The content of the interview was very simple. It analyzed the team's situation, etc., and talked about the goals. The high school rookie showdown between Zhang Hao and Garnett was interesting to watch. After the interview at the imperial court, several American players came to  The media conducted a group interview.

    The interview process was uneventful. Domestic reporters often do not target anyone when they interview foreign affairs. Instead, they may beautify them. Naturally, they will not find anyone.nbsp;¡­¡­

    After the final whistle sounded, Garnett was unwilling to chat with Zhang Hao.

    Watching Zhang Hao play 28 minutes tonight, watching Zhang Hao¡¯s teammates cooperate with Zhang Haoit¡¯s so frustrating to watch him!

    Zhang Hao felt a little regretful, but he didn¡¯t care after the game was over. There is a long way to go.

    "Special player Zhang Hao has helped the Nets win 5 preseason games. Congratulations to the host for receiving an additional reward: 5 days of lifespan. The mission: Newcomer Meeting has been completed."

    "The remaining life is 374 days and the available life is 373 days."

    After exceeding the guaranteed 4 wins and receiving a 5-day lifespan bonus, plus a 1-day lifespan bonus for participating in tonight's game and a two-day lifespan bonus for winning, Zhang Hao felt much more at ease as he saw that his lifespan had returned to almost a year.

    Although there will probably be many places where life is needed, I feel a lot more stable at this moment.

    From Garnett, Zhang Hao saw the cruel environment he had to face as a rookie. Fortunately, Zhang Hao was doing well

    After three seconds of silence for Garnett, Zhang Hao also turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

    What is a big deal to one person may not be as important to another person as whether the shoelaces are fastened or not.

    Zhang Hao and Garnett regarded this game as very important, but the result did not go in the direction they expected. The two had mixed emotions, but the media and fans really did not take this matter as a big deal.  If you want to see the excitement, you can watch it. They don't have much excitement here. There is more excitement to see elsewhere.

    During the time when Zhang Hao was slowly integrating into the team and enhancing his technical and tactical abilities, a lot of things happened in the league.

    The most exciting thing at the moment is that the preseason is still going on. Magic suddenly chose to come back, which disrupted the Lakers' trading plan. However, the logo man expressed support for Magic, and the Lakers also supported Magic's comeback.

    On Malone's side, the fans who called themselves Magic back then, when they heard that Magic was back and that the Jazz were going to play the regular season opener against the Lakers, Malone started to curse, saying, "He shouldn't play basketball for the sake of other people."  It was not Magic's counterattack that attracted a fine from the league.

    Jordan was not as outraged as Malone, but instead extended an invitation to the Magic to have a fight in the Finals.

    This makes the Magic team unhappy again

    The media in Orlando dared to focus on criticizing the Bulls. Somehow, several media began to talk about O'Neal being injured and unable to play in the November game.

    In the end, something very strange happened in the Orlando media. Instead of criticizing Jordan, they complained about O'Neal's lack of self-discipline, which caused the Magic to be underestimated by Jordan.

    The new regular season is coming soon, and the league is quite lively.

    However, these excitements had little impact on Zhang Hao. Although he had never experienced these things in his previous life, he had heard rumors, so he did not pay special attention to them.

    Compared with 20 years later, the information dissemination channels in this era are too closed. Apart from newspapers, TV, and radio, there are no other channels for obtaining external information. Unlike in the future, if a girl asks where there are cucumbers during a chat,  For sale, the shopping platform will immediately push a bunch of massage equipment

    Apart from the inconvenience, Zhang Hao thinks this is very good, as he can focus more on improving himself.

    After finishing the physiotherapy and returning to the apartment, Zhang Hao took a good look back at his games, training and other matters since the preseason.

    "Passing, you must practice this. It's too easy to make mistakes. The learning progress of catching the ball, turning over and shooting jump shots is much faster than I expected. Cutting to catch the ball and rushing the frame I also need to practice more. It will be easier if you can cut and shoot."  Find scoring opportunities"

    Soon Zhang Hao planned his training program for the next few days.

    Another day in a row has passed. On October 25, the first training day after the preseason has arrived.

    The last few days of preparation time, the regular season is coming.

    Zhang Hao was a little excited when he thought about it, playing against Grant Hill!

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t know how strong Grant Hill would be if he were not injured at his theoretical peak in his twenties or eighties, but Grant Hill in his rookie year is already very strong!

 Chapter 68 68. Please check the new learning objectives (please vote for me and recommend me)

    Zhang Hao arrived at the arena and practiced running, catching and shooting under the guidance of Chris Irving.

    Shooting training is easy and familiar, and it will be more efficient if someone guides you.

    When Zhang Hao was doing shooting training, Butch Baird and Randy Whitman were talking about each player's problems in the head coach's office, but when they talked about Zhang Hao, their opinions differed.

    Randy Whitman shook his head and said to Butch Baird: "Akers is still young. We don't need to be so anxious. We can wait until the middle of the season to strengthen his training in this area. He can't even compete in real games."  Never fought.¡±

    Butch Baird had expected that Randy Whitman would say this. Randy Whitman looked indifferent to every player, and Zhang Hao was no exception. In fact, Butch Bell  De discovered that Randy Whitman cared for Zhang Hao as much as he did. It was certainly not the case at the beginning, but as time went by, changes began to appear.

    Now, Randy Whitman really regards Zhang Hao as a junior and wants to take good care of Zhang Hao's growth.

    However, Butch Bell has another opinion about Randy Whitman's statement: "It's because he hasn't played in a real game yet and hasn't developed the habit of taking black holes, so we should correct it as soon as possible.  , Didn¡¯t you say before that Akers ends his attack almost every time he receives the ball? Alvan has the same view as you, and I have the same view as you. I believe Akers has talent."

    "He is talented, but he is now developing new shooting skills, and it will be too much pressure for him to join the team's offensive training."

    "We can try. If it affects his shooting training, we can just stop it temporarily. If he can learn how to integrate into the tactics early instead of simply becoming the final link of the tactics, it will be more beneficial to his shooting.  , isn¡¯t it?¡±

    Randy Whitman was moved, and indeed, Butch Baird was right.

    It¡¯s just that in this way, the training pressure on Zhang Hao¡¯s side

    Seeing that Randy Whitman no longer insisted on stopping him, Butch Baird said to Alvan Adams: "Alvan, I'll leave it to you in Aix."

    "Akers is a very talented kid, I hope he can take away my skills." Alvan Adams said something nice.

    In the previous dispute between Butch Baird and Randy Whitman, Alvan Adams did not interrupt the whole process. The head coach gave the order and he just carried it out, even though his views were the same as Randy Whitman's.

    ¡­¡­

    At 10 o'clock in the morning, the two-hour shooting training ended. Zhang Hao was just about to take a shower when the staff found him: "Akers, Coach Adams asked you to go to the conference room to learn passing."

    ??Learning to pass the ball in the conference room?  Zhang Hao took the towel handed over by the staff and walked to the conference room with confusion.

    Knocked on the door, pushed it open, and saw Alvan Adams writing and drawing on the small blackboard.

    Zhang Hao wiped his sweat and asked: "Alvan, don't you want to teach me how to pass the ball? Why are you in the conference room?"

    Alvan Adams picked up his small notebook, came to the small blackboard and said: "It's quieter here. Passing needs to be practiced in the training ground. You will need to practice that afternoon. Now I want to teach you how to organize the offense."  , not just passing the ball.¡±

    Many people will confuse passing and organizing offense. Alvan Adams distinguished the two in his first sentence. Zhang Hao should be clear about this from the beginning of his study in this area.

    This sentence is easy to understand. Zhang Hao nodded, wiped off the sweat, put the towel aside, and listened to the lecture honestly.

    Zhang Hao sat up straight and listened to the lecture like a good baby. Alvan Adams admired this attitude.

    Without wasting time, Alvan Adams said while drawing the route map: "As an insider, we must pass the ball with purpose. The purpose of our passing is not to get assists, but to make the team's offense better."  , helping the outside ball-holding core organize the team's offense.

    This is the same concept as your catch-and-shoot style. The biggest role of your catch-and-shoot game is actually to help other teammates contain the defense, or to seize other teammates' shooting opportunities after attracting a double attack and then releasing the ball.  Always thinking about running out of position and shooting by yourself, it is impossible for one player to score more than the opponent's entire team.

    The same is true for organizing an offense. It is a good pass to pass directly to the person who catches the ball and lays up to complete the assist, but the purpose of the pass should not be this, because there are fewer opportunities to directly send assists. If you only know this  , it won¡¯t actually help the game very much.

    Especially your style of play, if your shooting opportunity is blocked after receiving the ball, and there is no one within the passing range who can directly send assists, youIf you have the opportunity to practice, you should practice it seriously.

    After a 20-minute passing training session, after a 10-minute rest, Zhang Hao began to practice catching and shooting again. After the 20-minute shooting training, it was time to train on basic passing skills again At the end of the day, Zhang Hao's training volume almost reached the limit.

    Since the training camp, Zhang Hao has not been so tired for a long time.

    But he knew that this was the team's physical fitness test before the start of the regular season to see how to predict Zhang Hao based on Zhang Hao's physical condition, shooting distribution, etc. in training close to the game, that is, shooting, passing, etc.  How long of playing time can you maintain stability?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    After Zhang Hao finished training, he went to the office to read the physical test reports of his teammates. Similar to what he saw about his teammates' ability evaluations, Kenny Anderson had the best physical strength on the team, even though he was 5 pounds heavier than last season.  He is still the strongest player in the team. His current physical rating is 93, which seems to be only 2 points higher than Zhang. However, he is more experienced and has better physical distribution. It seems there is a big difference.

    In this regard, Zhang Hao needs to play more games and learn to allocate physical strength according to his actual situation.

    Zhang Hao's physical strength evaluation of 91 is only third. After letting his body find the feeling in the preseason, the team's two main insiders showed their excellent physical strength. PJ Brown reached 90 in the player detection system, and Jason Williams  Sri Lanka has reached 92.

    These three are all between 25 and 27 years old, at their physical peak. Although Zhang Hao is extremely talented, there is still a certain gap between him and these three in terms of physical strength.

    With his age at stake, Zhang Hao couldn't do anything.

    Zhang Hao is quite dissatisfied with his physical test results, but the coaching staff is very satisfied. He will not turn 19 in more than two months. With this level of physical strength, what kind of bicycle is needed?

    Moreover, Zhang Hao's test results were slightly better than at the beginning of the training camp. Maybe Zhang Hao can make better use of his body and reduce physical exertion, or maybe Zhang Hao's physical strength has improved. No matter which one it is, it is worth being happy about.  progress.

    Physical strength has always been a very important part of talent. Whether in competition or training, physical strength is very important.

    ¡­¡­

    At night, Zhang Hao prepared to go to bed early. Before falling asleep, the reminder came!

    Zhang Hao has been looking forward to this prompt since he learned the knowledge of organizing offense from Alvan Adams in the morning, but this prompt is different from the last time he learned from Jordan.

    ¡°The host has received guidance from Alvan Adams, the top support insider in NBA history, and has begun to learn inside support knowledge.

    Learning task: Writing an encyclopedia of organizational offense has started.

    Mission goal: The host can improve its ability to guide players to learn and organize offense through various methods such as learning from major celebrities, independent learning, and independent development. If the host learning content has successful experience or is verified to be practical in the game, it will be recorded.  Learning mode database, the host can carry out deep memory through learning mode.

    Task reward: Whenever the host improves the learning content of organizational offensive knowledge for a position, he will receive a single skill learning opportunity from the top players in that position.  "

    ¡°The collection of Alvan Adams¡¯ offensive support data during his career has been completed; the integration of Alvan Adams¡¯ today¡¯s guidance content has been completed.

    The host can learn through the learning mode"

 Chapter 69 69. No need to sacrifice your life this time?  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    "This time I can learn without spending my life!"

    It¡¯s just that this task¡­ isn¡¯t it still to cultivate his professional ability as a coach?

    "Hmm I can teach myself and if I teach others, I will have something to teach Xiao Wang next summer. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to teach Xiao Yao in the future, and I will find opportunities to organize attacks from the outside.  I have learned how to teach domestic point guards, which seems to be good"

    No need to waste your life tonight, I feel so good!  Soon, Zhang Hao fell asleep.

    At the first second of the second day, Zhang Hao opened his eyes and entered the learning mode again.

    This time, there is an extra bookshelf, and the room seems to be more spacious. There are two books on it.

    Zhang Hao walked over and took a look. One was a thick book called "Movement Master", and the other was a thin book, which was Alvan Adams' inside support guidance.

    I picked up the "Alvan Adams Insider Support Guide" and flipped through it. The printed version was different, and the tactical road map was more refined.

    By comparison, Zhang Hao felt that Alvan Adams¡¯ writing ability was simply too sloppy and he could still understand it.

    Although there is no difference in content, there is a big difference between being able to understand and being pleasant to watch. At least it is more comfortable to watch.

    First, I turned on the TV according to the prompts and watched for a while the video information of Alvan Adams¡¯ inside support during his player days. I didn¡¯t watch it for too long and it was not reference enough.

    He Zhang has not really carried out inside support, so he should start with basic knowledge.

    Different from learning Jordan's turnaround jump shot, passing is more complicated, and theoretical knowledge is very important. From Alvan Adams's guidance during the day, Zhang Hao understood one thing. When organizing an offense, he needs to transform the three-dimensional game into  Circuit diagram on paper.

    To organize an offense, you must simplify what you see with your eyes in your mind, rather than complicate it.

    In this way, the player who passes the ball can more easily analyze the next move of his teammates and opponents.

    The ability to predict is important, but the ability to analyze is equally important. The definition of the two is very vague. If the ability to predict is not good enough, the analytical ability is strong enough, the memory is good enough, the passing is accurate enough, and the passing is bold enough, you may become a top organizer.  .

    Mark Jackson and Andre Miller are very clear examples. Zhang Hao remembers that these two "civilian assist kings" talked freely in a roundtable meeting about how they were not aware enough to remember and how to learn and analyze to improve their organization.  Offensive ability experience.

    Of course, being able to learn to analyze and have a good memory is a talent, but the characteristics are different.

    "Do I have the talent to organize offense? Anyway, my analytical skills should be pretty good. If I study here, my memory will definitely be great Anyway, I'm learning the right thing."

    Zhang Hao made up his mind. What he has to do now is still the work of the past two days, re-learning "Movement Master", but the goal has changed. Before, he learned it by himself, and the goal was not clear enough. Now Zhang Hao knows it, and it is not to overthrow him as his successor.  The way the pitcher moves, he is one of the most important ending points for the team. What he needs to do is to integrate himself more deeply into the tactics.

    The most important thing is to remember the position in the tactic that may become the receiving point when someone is running. You must adjust your consciousness during the running process to seize more opportunities.

    "But theoretical knowledge can be learned here, but not practice This makes Zhang Hao feel a little bit pained.

    "It would be nice if it could be trained in the training room like Jordan's turnaround jump shot, but this requires cooperation and cannot be practiced by one person"

    When Zhang Hao came up with this idea, the reminder came again.

    "Because the host has started the learning task: writing an encyclopedia of organizational offense, the host can start simulated passing training, and each time it is started, it consumes 1 day of life."

    Zhang Hao was very excited, but when he saw the last half of the sentence "Damn! I still want to kill me! Just say there are not so many good things!"

    Krypton or not?

    Of course you need krypton!

    Zhang Hao thought, and the content on the subtitles changed.

    "The host has started the simulation training pass, and the service life has been 1 day. Please enter the training room.

    The remaining life is 371 days and the usable life is 370 days.  "

    It hurts so much that I can¡¯t breathe!  Zhang Hao found that it took him two days to survive one day

    But it still costs money!

    When I came to the training room, thinking about starting training, nine people in blue code immediately appeared, wearing two colors of training uniforms of the Nets.

    According to the prompts, the 9 blue code players can be adjusted according to the detected data in the player detection system.

    Zhang HaoAdams said to Chris Irving: "Chris, I feel like I'm going to lose my job. Akers learns so fast!"

    "Alvan, I told you a few days ago that you will probably be stunned by Aix's talent."

    "I always thought I was a genius, but now I have doubts" Alvan Adams couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly when he said this.

    "This is great, isn't it? We are cultivating a superstar!"

    "You're right" Thinking of this, Alvan Adams couldn't help but get excited. He failed to become a superstar back then, so it would be good to cultivate a superstar!  But¡­¡­

    "Why should I ask you if you don't understand anything? I'm just a support insider, I don't know everything!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 70 70. Hot Rookie!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    Combining the experience of previous training camps and pre-season games, after studying hard and training hard in the past few days, Zhang Hao received a reminder just after the afternoon training on the last training day before the regular season!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao's ability evaluation has been improved from 69 to 70 due to improvements in catching, shooting, passing and other aspects."

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 18 years old on January 7, 1977.

    Height 206 cm, wingspan 216 cm

    Weight: 96 kg.

    Position: Forward

    Team: New Jersey Nets.

    Ability evaluation: 70

    Physical fitness: 90 speed, 90 strength (82 explosive power), 94 jumping, 95 flexibility, 92 physical strength

    Shooting: 90 mid-range shots, 89 layups

    Skills: 89 in catching and shooting"

    In recent days, due to the guidance of real professionals in passing, Zhang Hao feels that it is not difficult to improve to the bottleneck of 54 and continue to improve.

    Catch and shoot has improved by 1 point in the past few days, reaching 89, which is close to the top.

    ??This, Zhang Hao feels that it is difficult to continue to improve. He was stuck at 87 for a long time, but he only improved by developing new catching and shooting postures. It will probably be more difficult next time.

    There are three abilities that are top or nearly top, but the others are invisible!

    After the ball control increased to 59, the progress really slowed down.

    Thinking that Durant¡¯s assists per game will only exceed his turnovers per game in the sixth year of his career, Zhang Hao is not in a hurry about this.

    Looking at the ability evaluation of 70, Zhang Hao was very excited - "Finally upgraded!"

    Zhang Hao knows that if his ability evaluation of 70 is placed in a suitable environment, he may perform at a level of 75 or even higher.

    He knows that the conditions are good enough. For example, his current style of play requires a point guard who is good at passing the ball. The Nets happen to have one, so his ability can be displayed on the court.

    If he had to hold the ball and do it himself, he would probably not be as good as Graham, a backup shooting guard, and even worse than a rough rebounding maniac like Jason Williams.

    Knowing his own strengths and weaknesses, Zhang Hao is never arrogant or belittles himself. He does what he should do, makes reasonable attempts, and never does it if he doesn't know how to do it

    After half a year of hard work, the road to professional basketball is about to officially begin. Will you be a starter or a substitute in the first game?  This is very important!

    ¡­¡­

    Tomorrow is November 1st, the regular season is about to begin. Since the end of the preseason, those TV stations and newspapers have been predicting which team is the strongest, and they are all discussing Olajuwon, Jordan, and David Robinson.  , Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, who is the strongest player.

    Originally, some media ranked O'Neal third, behind Olajuwon and Jordan, but some media in Orlando came out and said that Anfernee Hardaway is better

    As for the rookies, the topic is not low either.

    Relying on his stunning performance in the first two games of the preseason and his steady scoring in double figures in the following games, Zhang Hao has also become one of the best rookie candidates.

    The other candidates are Antonio McDyess, Damon Stoudemire, Joe Smith, Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, and Jerry Stackhouse. These six are the original  The t1 and t2 rookies.

    Michael Finley also emerged later. The most surprising thing is not that Zhang Hao and Michael Finley became the best rookie candidates, but that the Kings selected him with the 18th pick in the second round, only 178 centimeters tall and 70 kilograms in weight.  Tyus Edney has become a Rookie of the Year candidate.

    However, during this period, a star who had retired for several years occupied the most news sections-Magic Johnson's soap opera began.

    Today, Zhang Hao got up early, stuffed his sneakers and a change of underwear into the suitcase, and everything was packed.

    After washing up and eating the breakfast sent by the team, the call came.

    After the call was connected, before Zhang Hao could ask who it was, the other person on the phone said first: "It's me, Aix, are you still sleeping?"

    This voice was so familiar. We had known her day and night during the summer, and Zhang Hao knew it was April Clark as soon as he heard it.

    It was a bit of a surprise. In a blink of an eye, the three most dazzling sports talents of Inglewood High School had gone their separate ways.

    Recovering from the memory of high school, Zhang Hao responded: "Not yet. I'm going to Detroit in a while. I just packed up my things and it's breakfast. Why did you think of calling me?"

    "You also said that you would call me after you go to the Nets and establish a foothold. Now I'll call you."

    &nbsp?Alan Houston worked very hard to create an image of "I am very experienced", and Zhang Hao and Henry Thomas both saw it.

    However, neither of them exposed it. Zhang Hao felt that he could learn something from Alan Houston and improve the relationship with Alan Houston when he had time in the future. Henry Thomas understood Alan Houston's little thoughts and finally survived the third round.  season, and finally succeeded in taking the starting position after the training camp this season. When meeting rookies from the same company, of course, I have to show my senior style.

    After a very cursory acquaintance, Henry Thomas talked about tomorrow's work arrangements, and Alan Houston and Henry Thomas left.

    ¡­¡­

    The conference room of the hotel where the Nets stay.

    At three o'clock in the afternoon, Randy Whitman arrived on time. Seeing the players who had already arrived, he was very satisfied with the energy of the players.

    It¡¯s completely different from last season, full of energy.

    When Coleman was around last season, there was no such atmosphere at all. If the boss was like that, how much better would the other players be?

    But now, when it comes to hard power, they are definitely not as strong as when they relied on Kenny Anderson, a talented point guard who averaged 20+10 points per game, and Coleman, a top power forward who averaged 20+10 points per game when he entered the NBA.  Leading the team to the playoffs for three consecutive years is so strong.

    But the current atmosphere of the team makes Randy Whitman very satisfied.

    The players are in high spirits and know that the starting lineup is about to be announced.

    Randy Whitman didn¡¯t say much and just talked about the result: ¡°Kenny, Greg, Almon, Akers, PJ, you are the starters for tomorrow¡¯s game. You can discuss more about the cooperation at the start, and don¡¯t go out if you don¡¯t have anything to do.

    If you don¡¯t play well enough or the combination is not suitable, we will make adjustments in the future.

    The press conference will come in the evening. Everyone must cooperate with the recording work tomorrow.  "

    Recording work Thinking of this, Zhang Hao feels a little sick

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 71 71. I miss you so much (please vote for me and recommend me)

    "I said you would definitely be a starter, but I didn't expect you to be a starter so soon. Hey, you are so lucky. I remember when I first entered the NBA, I still had Blaylock as my teammate on the point guard line.

    Do you know Blaylock?  Very powerful!  Two years ago, he and I, as well as Bogues and Stockton, the four of us competed for the assist title, but unfortunately none of us could beat Stockton"

    As soon as Randy Whitman left, a chatty man came next to Zhang Hao.

    Kenny Anderson is much more excited than Zhang Hao.

    "Yesit's the first time."

    When it really started, Zhang Hao was not as excited as he had imagined. He just thought it was a matter of course.

    The subtitle prompt has arrived.

    ¡°Mission: Set sail, goal 1 has been triggered, special contract player Zhang Hao needs to score the highest score in the regular season opener between the Nets and the Pistons.

    Mission reward: Silver Medal: Homecoming.  "

    Looking at this task, although it dilutes the excitement and pressure brought by starting the game, Zhang Hao has nothing to worry about.

    You started in the first game, will there be fewer starts in the future?

    So he no longer thinks much about the "bench gangster" reward for being a substitute in the first show.

    "Go! I have to go for the best reward! It's not impossible. Hill is not a star who scores points, right? Houston is not necessarily much better than me. Here I think I can do it, so let's go.  !¡±

    At this time, Zhang Hao noticed that someone among his teammates was in a very depressed mood.

    ¡­¡­

    You will never understand my sadness

    Jason Williams¡¯ current mood is actually not that uncomfortable. Others may think he is sad, but he is not.

    It¡¯s always rare to feel the same way.

    He does feel sad, but for some reason, after a month has passed and he really failed to rush to the starting position, he is not particularly depressed or jealous. He is just sad about his ability

    It¡¯s for sure that the interest is not high.

    I ordered the best takeaway in the afternoon for indulgence after tomorrow night¡¯s game, but now my appetite is not that good.

    Maybe tomorrow night, I will still have a good appetite. After all, it was recommended by my friend Terry Mills who plays locally.

    Terry Mills of the Pistons was a rookie in the same class as Jason Williams. He was also a Nets player at the time. The two knew each other in college, but unfortunately they did not become teammates. Terry  -As soon as Mills left, Jason Williams was traded with Almon Gilliam. When he played in Detroit for the first time in the new season, Terry Mills recommended Jason Williams.  The star product of his favorite store.

    Thinking about the foreign teammates tomorrow night, they are all senior, even though they are already busy

    But whoever opens a store is not busy with traffic?

    It¡¯s the kind of place where no one wants to visit.

    Jason Williams suddenly felt brighter.

    Zhang Hao originally wanted to comfort Jason Williams, but when he walked up to him, he found that his expression was gloomy, and there was a hint of obscenity

    Are you mad about losing the starting lineup?

    Zhang Hao felt a chill rising from his vest, and he forgot all the words of comfort he had just thought of.

    At this time, Jason Williams noticed Zhang Hao's arrival. Looking at Zhang Hao, he suddenly remembered somethingTomorrow's takeaway fee is 500 yuan!

    Jason Williams stood up abruptly and stretched out his hand towards Zhang Hao: "Pay back the money! Pay me back 500 yuan!"

    "What 500 yuan?" Zhang Hao was confused.

    "That time you were almost beaten by the aunt, and I was fined 500 yuan!"

    That incident It's not that Zhang Hao forgot about it, but he didn't expect it. He was indeed very grateful to Jason Williams for standing up for him at that time, and he was also very grateful to Jason Williams for this incident.  Si's perception is much better.

    Therefore, Zhang Hao spread his hands and said, "It's not that you want to hit me. What does it have to do with me if you are fined?"

    ""

    Jason Williams was speechless for a moment, and felt that what Zhang Hao said made sense.

    No!

    When Jason Williams came to his senses, feeling as if his IQ had been humiliated, Zhang Hao had already dragged Kenny Anderson out of the meeting room.

    A shrill cry came from the conference room: "Pay back the money"

    ¡­¡­

    It is impossible to pay back the money.

    Why should you pay back the money you owe based on your ability?  Also, it¡¯s not like he was fined for committing a technical crime and had someone else pay the money for him.His nature, over time, turned into a rough and arrogant style of speaking and doing things.

    Only in this way can you feel safe in this place.

    Who said Americans only use oil words?

    In the car, Zhang Hao heard the sound of Kenny Anderson, the star of his team, being greeted by 18 generations before and after him.

    And there are actually people scolding him as a rookie named Zhang!

    Kenny Anderson was very calm: "Don't be surprised. You are a rookie and Hill is only in his second year. They regard you as Hill's competitor."

    After entering the arena, the Nets conducted a basic tactical training class, reviewed it again, and ended the preparation training.

    In the first game of the new season, the lineups of both teams have changed, and the training is naturally not targeted at all.

    In order to conserve energy for the evening game, the training volume was very light, and most of the players did not break a sweat.

    After the training, Butch Baird said: "Gather at three o'clock in the afternoon. You can go out for a walk, but don't leave the city of Auburn Hills."

    When you arrive in Auburn Hills, you can relax a little.

    It¡¯s almost lunch time, and the filming at the Imperial Terrace has been temporarily suspended. The coaching staff invites them out for lunch. They should eat and drink when they should. As for Zhang Hao¡¯s lunch shooting, they already have the information, so just scrape it together.

    Zhang Hao had changed his clothes and was about to go have dinner with Vaughn Fleming or Kenny Anderson when the big brother in the bag in the wardrobe rang loudly.

    Who will call at this time?

    Pierce is too poor to go home and can't make phone calls. April Clark won't call on game days. His parents are busy at work and they call him every six months if they have nothing to do. Now if anything happens, he will contact his agent first. His agent is currently in Detroit.  ¡­

    When I answered the phone, a familiar voice came.

    "Akers, you are in Auburn Hills, right? I am also in Auburn Hills. Do you have time to have lunch together?"

    It¡¯s the high school head coach Scott Collins!  That big liar who deceived him about the draft!

    "Coach, it's you. Of course you have time. You don't know, I almost miss you"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 72 72. The first generation of organizational forwards (please vote for me and recommend me)

    ??Auburn Hills City is, after all, a "city" built on the basis of a village, and the place is very small.

    ???????????????????? Although the majong is small, it has all the necessary features to satisfy the local residents¡¯ daily life and entertainment places.

    And there are many highly rated restaurants here These days, almost all of Detroit's most famous restaurants are concentrated here.

    Opening stores elsewhere in Detroit cannot afford credit!

    Not allowing credit?

    ? Then you are racist.

    As for when to pay back the moneyit's not like I won't pay back the money I owe based on my ability, so I owe it first.

    After saying hello to the coaching staff, Zhang Hao came to Michael Simon's barbecue restaurant in Auburn Hills.

    The name of this restaurant is Michael Simon¡¯s Barbeque Restaurant.

    I asked Vaughn-Fleming about it. This is the restaurant with the best local barbecue. Italian and French dishes are also good. The steaks are also very delicious. The steaks imported from Kobe are very popular.

    Looking at this store, Zhang Hao felt very complicated.

    Thinking back to a few months ago, when the trial training just ended, he almost wanted to kill his high school coach and wanted to choke him to death.

    But in a flash, a few months have passed, and now that we see each other again, I feel like I miss them very much.

    The draft registration form that Scott Collins handed him confirmed his idea of ??skipping college, and now he is very grateful to Scott Collins for his advice.

    When you walk into the restaurant door, you immediately see a familiar face.

    "Akers, you came on time!" Coach Scott Collins came up to him, "I haven't seen you for several months, I'm really not used to it"

    "Yeah, it feels like winning the California championship was just yesterday"

    Zhang Hao hadn¡¯t seen Scott Collins for half a year. He missed him so much that he hugged him.

    Both of them felt something was wrong. They hugged each other when they won the California High School League championship at the beginning of the year, and they felt a lot different.

    "Oh, I just remembered that I have grown taller. I don't feel like I have grown taller at all when I use the growth card."

    "This kid has grown so tall. If he had known that he would go out of his way to force Doug to trade for the No. 8 pick, he would be a perfect match for Grant Hey, who knew this kid could be selected in the lottery"

    Having not seen each other for a long time, the two of them were in different moods and hugged each other before walking into the restaurant.

    As soon as he entered the door, the waiter greeted him. Scott Collins said: "I have reserved a seat. The waiter will take you there. I will go to the toilet first."

    Zhang Hao responded and followed the waiter to the second floor, and came to a seat by the window. There was already a person sitting at the 4-seat dining table This is not the point, the point is the person sitting

    Zhang Hao's eyes widened - Will our coach use his money to raise money?

    When I went upstairs, I looked back and saw Scott Collins walking towards the room marked with the bathroom. This second floor seems to be just a staircase. What's going on?

    An unnoticed smile appeared on the corner of Scott Collins's mouth as he sat. He looked at the visitor as if he had just seen him, and stood up with an expression of surprise: "Akers, you came on time!"

    With that said, Scott Collins stood up and faced Zhang Hao.

    "I haven't seen you for several months, I'm really not used to it"

    Zhang Hao was stunned. Did he hear this just now?  He responded with a very familiar voice: "Yes, it feels like winning the California championship was just yesterday No! Who are you?"

    Just as he was about to hug him, Zhang Hao suddenly realized that although the other person looked like Scott Collins, he was very similar. He was dressed the same, wearing a suit jacket, striped shirt and no tie, but there was still a little difference from before. What he saw in front of him was a little different.  There was a red brooch pinned to the breast pocket.

    There is also the demeanor, deliberately making an expression of "we are so familiar".

    Seeing that he couldn¡¯t continue the performance, Doug Collins said toward the stairs: ¡°Scott, you are such a great student, I can¡¯t deal with him!¡±

    Scott Collins, who was hiding at the corner of the stairs, walked up and complained: "Doug, how long did you last? Do you have 10 seconds?"

    Doug?  correct!

    Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that the Pistons head coach's name seemed to be Doug Collins. During the team's tactical meeting, photos of every opponent's player were posted, but the coach's photo was not posted.

    When playing a game, although the opponent¡¯s coach is also important, it doesn¡¯t matter at all what he looks like.

    Doug Collins and Scott Collins look exactly the same Our high school coach and NBA head coach are actually twins!

    ? ?When looking at the Pistons lineup and watching the video, Zhang Hao already understood the opponent's players' playing style, but looking at the ability evaluation, it is obviously more specific.

    His physical fitness is at an all-time high. After his static confrontation improves, he and Zhang can compete with Grant Hill in terms of physical fitness. Their athletic ability is almost the same. Grant Hill is a little faster, but his Zhang is better at jumping.

    There is no need to compare skills. Grant Hill's skills are extremely comprehensive. He is very good at sudden shots, passing and control. He can change direction and get away from Jordan and Pippen.

    In the ability evaluation panel that can be seen, Zhang is better than Grant Hill in a few aspects such as flexibility, catching and shooting, and mid-range shooting.

    This is the second strongest player Zhang Hao has seen since entering the NBA. The strongest one is naturally the superstar Michael Jordan who transcends his time. I haven¡¯t seen the Magic duo, so I guess Anfernee Hardaway will not.  Worse than Grant Hill, at least at a comparable level.

    These days, the top talents enter the NBA and become All-Stars. They have reached their peak since their second year. Almost every year, the top three picks are those who played in college for three or four years.

    In other words, the top talents these days are already very mature when they enter the NBA. As long as they can adapt to the NBA, they may be the top players in the NBA when they enter the NBA.

    ¡°Moreover, Grant Hill has just turned 23 in October. Many players who will enter the NBA at the age of 19 or 20 are still selling their potential until they are 23 or 20 years old.

    In addition to Grant Hill, the Pistons also have another star, Alan Houston.

    "Alan Houston, 24 years old, height 198 cm, weight 93 kg, ability evaluation 83, offense 90, defense 73, three-pointer 90, mid-range shot 94, layup 81, speed 88, strength 87, jumping 92"

    Zhang Hao's evaluation of Alan Houston's ability is simply weird. Zhang Hao's 41% layup percentage in the past two years does not know how he achieved this. He cannot score under the basket. Alan Houston's shooting talent  Everything lights up, the three-point shooting is top-notch, and the mid-range shooting is almost super-top.

    In addition to these two people, the Pistons also have two outstanding players. One is the former All-Star power forward Otis Thorpe, who they used the 19th pick on the night of the draft in exchange for the Trail Blazers. He is 33 years old and  79 ability evaluation.

    The other is former FMVP Joe Dumas, with an ability evaluation of 77.

    In addition to these four people, the other player on the Pistons who has the highest ability evaluation is only 71. Terry Mills, a power forward who once played for the Nets.

    After reading the ability evaluation of everyone on the Pistons, Zhang Hao felt a lot more at ease. Except for Grant Hill, the rest of the Pistons were not that strong.

    ?Compared to last season, the Pistons' improvement is the improvement of Grant Hill and Alan Houston, as well as the introduction of Audis Thorpe. Nothing else. Joe Dumars should decline sharply one step at a time.

    But how much has Grant Hill improved compared to last season?

    Last year, I didn¡¯t know the evaluation of Grant Hill¡¯s ability. I only knew it was enough for fans to elect him as the All-Star vote winner.

    The strongest one can't be compared, but in other positions, the Nets will not lose to the Pistons.

    In the final preparation time before the game, Randy Whitman emphasized the space play of the starting lineup. Finally, Butch Baird shouted to the players: "Go ahead and kick those sons of bitches away. Let's  Go back with victory!"

 Chapter 73 73. Let him defend the center (please vote for me and recommend me)

    Everyone hates the Pistons, and many teams were bullied by them back then. Even though the Pistons have completely changed under the leadership of Grant Hill and Joe Dumars, being hostile to the Pistons is basketball correct.

    With an excited heart and trembling hands, Zhang Hao was about to start his first game. When Zhang Hao came to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder, he felt himself shaking.

    This is excitement!

    ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, you¡¯ll get used to it if you play too many games.¡±

    A gentle voice came into Zhang Hao's ears.

    This voice was unfamiliar. It was not a teammate. Zhang Hao turned around and saw that it was Grant Hill, who was slightly shorter than him.

    "A humble gentleman, as gentle as jade This is the first impression Grant Hill brought to Zhang Hao.

    Seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s stunned look, Grant Hill smiled and without saying anything else, he grabbed some magnesium powder, rubbed it in his palms, and walked onto the court.

    Not to mention, Zhang Hao felt a lot calmer because of the comfort from such a top genius who entered the NBA at the same time.

    After putting on the magnesium powder and just about to go on stage, the task is coming!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao is about to compete with top pitcher Alan Houston, and the mission: Shooting Star is triggered."

    ¡°Shooting Star (Allan Houston):

    Goal: The total number of field goals made in all games played between Zhang Hao and Alan Houston this season must be higher than that of Alan Houston.

    Task rewards: 1. Top pitcher Alan Houston's favorable impression of Zhang Hao has been greatly improved; 2. When the host assigns players to train with Alan Houston, there will be a chance to trigger the learning mode.  "

    "The first game of special contracted player Zhang Hao's NBA career will begin. The mission is to trigger it with a small goal."

    "A small goal:

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to score at least 20 points in this game.

    Reward: Life span is 15 days. For every 1 point gained, an additional two days of life will be awarded.  "

    There are two more tasks.

    The difficulty is not small. You have to score 20+ in the first game, and you have to compete with Alan Houston, the future mid-range shooting king, for the number of mid-range shots But there is a more difficult task before that - to score the highest score in the opening game.

    When these two tasks appeared, Zhang Hao had no disturbance in his heart.

    ? Patted his chest and worked hard!

    If the pressure could crush Zhang Hao, he would have collapsed long ago. Now, when the pressure comes, there will be psychological fluctuations, but if you slow down, it will be transformed into motivation.

    At 5:58 in the evening, the two teams started playing.

    The Pistons sent out a starting lineup of Joe Dumars, Alan Houston, Grant Hill, Odis Thorpe, and Theo Ratliff.

    The Nets sent out a starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Graham, Almon Gilliam, Zhang Hao, and PJ Brown.

    At 6 o'clock in the evening, this game, which was broadcast live across the United States, started.

    The referee blew the whistle and pushed the ball into the air. PJ Brown relied on his bounce speed to beat Ratliff to win the jump ball. The Nets attacked first!

    The moment PJ Brown touched the ball, Zhang Hao immediately rushed forward.

    high speed!

    However, Grant Hill predicted Zhang Hao's fast route very well and blocked the defense immediately. The Pistons fell steadily into position and defense.

    Pistons assistant coach Scott Collins emphasized to Grant Hill that Zhang Hao is very talented, has accurate mid-range shooting and strong athletic ability, and is an opponent that needs to be guarded against.

    Grant Hill listened!

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Almon Gilliam, who encountered a change of defense.

    Almon Gilliam received the ball on the left baseline of the three-second zone and did not dare to be careless in the face of Otis Thorpe's defense. This is an outstanding insider who once formed the strongest inside combination in the NBA with Olajuwon.  On the one hand, he is extremely good both offensively and defensively. Although he is now older and has been sold off, he still cannot be underestimated.

    Almon Gilliam was very focused and used his skillful mid-range and short-range singles moves. In a blink of an eye, he used a step fake to find a gap. He grabbed the ball and took a step up the line, within a short distance of the free throw line.  A long running shot

    The opportunity was indeed found, and the direction of the action was very positive, but maybe I was too excited and too powerful!

    Ratliff, the rookie center under the basket, was not afraid of PJ Brown at all. He occupied a good position to block PJ Brown. Ratliff was very excited when he saw the ball bounce high on the basket!

    Since the Pistons do not have a good center, Ratliff started the first game of his rookie season. If he wants to perform well, he must defend the first defensive rebound!

    Start after the ball reaches its highest point??I made a mid-range shot and went on a 5-0, 17-13 run. The Pistons stopped the Nets!

    Almon Gilliam has well proved that he does have the ability to become the Nets' leading scorer, but continuous singles and rushes are very draining for him!

    The problem is that the team offense is not started!

    The key point is that Zhang Hao, except for the make-up dunk at the beginning, his offensive performance was very bad, and the defensive end was even worse.

    Entering the official timeout time, players from both teams returned to the bench.

    Randy Whitman discovered that they had misjudged their opponent¡¯s strength!

    The Pistons' players have not changed much. They just added Addis Thorpe and a rookie center Ratliff. They also lost the heavyweight center Oliver Miller in the starting lineup. From a player perspective alone, the Pistons should not be as strong as  The season is too strong.

    Even though Grant Hill and Alan Houston have improved, Joe Dumars has significantly degraded.

    The public does not have high expectations for the Pistons' record this season.

    But now Randy Whitman has discovered that the opponent has played poorly in the past two years and has a poor record. The problem does not seem to lie with the players, but with the coaching staff.

    In the past two seasons, the Pistons were ranked sixth and seventh from the bottom once, both coached by Don Cheney. After the end of last season, the Pistons changed the coaching staff with the Collins brothers as the core. Doug Collins once coached the Bulls.  team, led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, but was fired by the Bulls because they were unable to kill the Bad Boys. In terms of ability, they were not comparable to Don Cheney, so the Pistons really brought out the strength of their players.

    Fortunately, with the support of Almon Gilliam, the lag at the start is not that big.

    Do you want to replace Zhang Hao for a while?  Seeing that Zhang Hao was a little frustrated because of his poor start, Randy Whitman was about to make this decision. P.J. Brown, the team's best defender, came to Randy Whitman and said: "Coach, I think the defense  Duan can let Akers guard the basket, he is better than Jason and I"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 76 76. Against Biao Hill!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    From the coaching staff to his teammates, they all pinned their hopes on Zhang Hao to play.

    It¡¯s not that Zhang Hao can turn the situation around on his own, but anyone with eyesight can see that they have the strength to compete with the Pistons, a newly promoted playoff team, but this is  They have the strength to perform at their strongest.

    And Zhang Hao is their team's best off-ball shooter. Also, in the first quarter, Zhang Hao showed a frame-protecting ability that no other insider on the team has.

    They are not that good apart. They need to be combined together.

    "Akers, you are responsible for protecting the basket on the defensive end. You don't have to help defend. Don't worry about that. Leave your energy on the offensive end"

    The task assigned to Zhang Hao by Randy Whitman is very simple, but it is exactly what the Nets lack the most.

    The combination of Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Almon Gilliam, Zhang Hao and PJ Brown was replaced.

    Although he is under great pressure from the expectations of the whole team, Zhang Hao is more confident now than at the beginning of the game. He has once again confirmed that his mid-range shooting ability is definitely the best in the league. Coupled with his height and wingspan, he is a great power forward in this field.  Generally speaking, the effect is stronger when the height is 204-206 centimeters!  If he plays the small forward position, even a large small forward like Grant Hill, his physical advantage will be even greater!

    It¡¯s just that Grant Hill on the opposite side scored 14 points surpassing Zhang¡¯s original game-high 10 points!

    After the timeout, the Pistons re-entered the starting lineup, with the combination of Joe Dumars, Alan Houston, Grant Hill, Addis Thorpe, and Ratliff on the court.

    The Nets attack and serve from the center line.

    Zhang Hao came to the court and found that the person guarding him was Edith Thorpe, and immediately started running.

    Almon Gilliam is fighting Grant Hill hand-to-hand, and his mission has changed. If Grant Hill guards him, he will actively get under the basket, actively seek confrontation, and consume Grant Hill.

    Kenny Anderson did not fight hard against Joe Dumars' defense and handed the ball to Edwards.

    This choice was made very well. Zhang Hao, who scored 10 points in the first quarter, and Almon Gilliam, who scored 8 points in the first half, are undoubtedly the two players who pose the greatest threat to the Nets. Kenny Anderson himself is the Nets¡¯ most powerful perimeter player.  A strong scorer, Edwards has a good chance to beat Alan Houston in isolation!

    Edwards is a very balanced player, versatile on the outside, able to score, organize offense, and defend, but he is not strong. His ability evaluation of 75 is far inferior to PJ Brown's role on the court with the same ability evaluation.

    However, whether a player's scoring ability is strong or not, sometimes he can rely on defensive players to set it off. Didn't you see that the company commander scored 50+ points in a single game against the first shooting guard?

    There is a kind of player who is very active on the defensive end, but being active is of no use at all. He might as well stand as a stake.

    No, under the defense of Alan Houston, Edwards played like an All-Star, easily bursting into close range, and took advantage of Zhang Hao to slip out from the baseline and take away Addis Thorpe and PJ Brown to rush in.  The basket contained rookie center Ratliff, who had excellent defensive awareness, and Edwards made a close-range shot from the board.

    Freehand and beautiful!

    It¡¯s rare for Edwards to play such a beautiful offense.

    When the Pistons attack, Grant Hill has been on the offensive for more than a quarter and needs to take a break, leading Almon Gilliam to stand in the middle distance on the weak side.

    ? Joe Dumars organizes the ball.

    Joe Dumars is very good at organizing offense. He sent a beautiful ground pass to the baseline. Alan Houston made a jump shot after catching the ball and returned Edwards's one.

    Edwards actually did a good job in pursuing the defense, mainly because Kenny Anderson failed to interfere with Joe Dumas' pass.

    Looking at Kenny Anderson's body When Zhang Hao picked up the ball and served, he said to the two teammates in the backcourt: "Boss Kenny, wait for you to chase Houston. You run faster. Kevin, you go and give it to me."  Dumars fights, presses the defense.¡±

    A rookie was giving pointers to two veteran players. Zhang Hao felt a little regretful when he sent the ball out. Kenny Anderson, who received the ball, was also surprised, but did not refuse and nodded.

    This is what he said, if Zhang Hao has any ideas, just say it directly, don't worry.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out???out

    Kevin Edwards didn¡¯t say anything when he saw this, and ran towards the frontcourt with Zhang Hao.

    The Pistons continued to press the pace, preventing Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, two speedy players, from setting the pace.

    "Compared to the Pistons, who have a clear plan to use the rules, the Nets are actually passively playing positional warfare, and there are no tactics to speed up. After all, it was a mess before.nbsp; He definitely needs other people to help him. What the Nets should do is to try to prevent others when Grant Hill wants to rest. It just so happens that Grant Hill is still a scumbag without the ball. That's not it.  In the future, he will switch to a role player and play without the ball. The Pistons are similar to the Nets. The role players are not that good, especially in terms of holding the ball. They are not as good as the Nets.

    No, after two rounds of successful defense, Grant Hill was forced back to control the ball again.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away

    Before Iverson entered the NBA, he had the fastest first step in the league, a super change of direction breakthrough, accurate mid-range shot, top-level scoring ability at the basket, outstanding vision The improvement of the coaching staff's ability is the key factor for the Pistons and last season.  There have been earth-shaking changes and there are reasons for playoff strength, but it is still Grant Hill¡¯s personal ability!

    The importance of a superstar to a team is well demonstrated by Grant Hill.

    The Nets¡¯ style of play is clear. In positional battles, Zhang Hao and Edwards cooperate. On counterattack, Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson cooperate.

    The Pistons attach great importance to Zhang Hao because their assistant coach Scott Collins has repeatedly emphasized it.

    But no matter how much we emphasize, common sense and concepts cannot be changed.

    It¡¯s true that the Pistons players valued Zhang Hao, but they still didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Hao¡¯s mid-range shooting could be compared to that of Alan Houston. This rookie is not yet 19 years old!

    ??Looking at appearance, from a European and American perspective, some people believe that he is a junior high school student, but CIC can already be compared with Alan Houston, who is in the third year of his career and is one of the best in the CIC talent league. Who would have thought?

    And Zhang Hao¡¯s excellent running awareness and ability are beyond their understanding of a player of this age.

    They have all come from this age. They have a very deep-rooted understanding of what they were like at that time and what the players of this age they have seen are like.

    Therefore, just like in the second half of the first quarter, the Pistons were once again confused by Zhang Hao!

    Facing the Pistons' defense, Zhang Hao played more and more freely and more targeted.

    When Addis Thorpe was guarding him, he waited for Edwards to make a choice, not to move casually, to conserve his energy, and to act when it was time to move and exert force.

    If Grant Hill guards him, he will run away.

    ? Consume Grant Hill¡¯s energy on the offensive end.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s score did not rise as fast as in the second half of the first quarter, but the Nets played better.

    On the defensive end, Zhang Hao just had a whim at first, and as he continued to play, his goal became clearer.

    It doesn't matter if you can't defend, the key is to let Grant Hill control the ball. As long as Joe Dumars and Lynch Hunter, who comes on the bench, have the ball, they will defend with all their lives. It just so happens that these two people's independent offensive ability is in a hurry.  , the former is old, and the latter is already in a hurry, forcing Grant Hill to come back to control the ball.

    A two-pronged approach!

    Even though he is as strong as Grant Hill, he cannot think about the future.

    While fighting, Grant Hill gave up guarding Zhang Hao. He had already seen the Nets' conspiracy, but there was no way. The Pistons had a strength advantage, but it was not big. They had to make effective responses to the opponent first.  situation, they fell into passivity.

    Knowing that entering a confrontational state would be more beneficial to the opponent, Grant Hill had no choice but to jump in at this time.

    The scores of the two teams rose alternately. At the end of the half, thanks to Alan Houston's forced mid-range shot, the Pistons tied the score at 58!

    9-for-12 at halftime

    Zhang Hao himself was shocked by this shooting efficiency.

    It¡¯s a pity that I only made one of two free throws once, otherwise I would have scored 20+ for the first time in my career at halftime.

    In less than 20 minutes in the half, Zhang Hao scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 77 77. Rush!  rush!  rush!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    After returning to the locker room to calm down and think, Zhang Hao knew that his opponent underestimated him and did not do a good job defending him.

    But this is his advantage. His face and age are so confusing.

    In this half of the game, the Nets players were very excited and could see hope!  At the beginning of the training camp, it felt like the team's future was bleak. At that time, they had no pursuit at all, but it's different now!

    For them, it feels like their destiny has been changed.

    The coaching staff feels the same way.

    Randy Whitman deeply felt the changes in the team during this period.

    There was another change tonight. In the second quarter, they fell into a slump. When they first replaced Zhang Hao, there was no obvious change in the slump. But after playing a few rounds, Zhang Hao began to direct his teammates to defend.

    It feels like a coach on the court!

    When Zhang Hao directed his teammates, he just realized it and had no clear solution.

    But this is the most rare thing. No matter how hard you work, without that sudden talent, it will be in vain.

    The height and wingspan of a power forward + the athletic ability of a small forward + the shooting touch of a shooting guard + the brains of a point guard The ability to protect the frame can also be observed. For such a rookie, Randy Whitman feels weird no matter what he thinks.

    But they just have a rookie with such weird characteristics.

    Thinking about it, I¡¯m still a little excited.

    As long as the method works, as a coach, he can see more clearly the effect of Zhang Hao's command of his guard teammates, and use it on this basis. This is also the reason why the Nets played better in the second half of the second quarter.  .

    Seeing that the momentum has picked up, in the third quarter, it¡¯s time to make a splash!

    ¡­¡­

    Returning from the halftime break, Zhang Hao and his teammates were once again greeted with violent boos from the fans.

    In the first game of the new season, Pistons fans feel in danger!

    Their Grant Hill had 18 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal in the half. This performance could not be better.

    But the rookie opposite actually made 9 of 12 in the half!

    ¡°Scream, scream, the louder you scream, the more excited I am!¡± Almon Gilliam was very shy.

    Kenny Anderson used to hate Almon Gilliam's outgoing personality, but the main reason was that no matter how the team performed in the past few years, there was chaos internally, and no one among his teammates liked anyone.

    The situation has changed a lot now. Kenny Anderson doesn¡¯t feel particularly disgusted that Almon Gilliam is so arrogant.

    On the contrary, I feel that Almon Gilliam, a passionate teammate, is very reassuring on the court.

    This is the strongest singles player on the team.

    Edwards, who performed well tonight and scored 6 points and 3 assists in the first half, will play more time tonight. He will play together with Childs, Zhang Hao, Almon Gilliam, and Jason Williams.

    The second half of the game is about to begin, and Zhang Hao is very excited.

    ?? 1 point away from 20+ points in a single game to get 15 days of life. Currently, his score is also the highest in the game

    Looking at the opposing five-man group of Joe Dumars, Alan Houston, Michael Curry, Don Reed, and Terry Mills taking the field, Zhang Hao took a deep breath to calm down.

    Lifespan, medals, victory As an adult, he wants them all!

    At this time, you should calm down.

    Jason Williams felt Zhang Hao's emotional changes very keenly, and he felt a little sour in his heart.

    ¡°To play so well in the first game of my career and to be able to control my emotions and adjust my mentality is definitely a talent.

    From any angle, Jason Williams thinks Zhang Hao is a genius.

    There is no competition for the starting spot

    But we have to find a way to get this guy to pay back the money!

    Soon, the second half of the game began.

    The Pistons want to let Joe Dumars and Alan Houston lead the team for a while, and wait for Grant Hill to get enough rest and play all the remaining time.

    A team in a city is counting on a star and the star will give back. This is a very beautiful scenery in the NBA.

    The same is true for the Pistons. They pin all their expectations on Grant Hill, and Grant Hill also has the ability to give back.

    And what the Nets want to do is to prevent this from happening.

    Almon Gilliam attacked with all his strength from the beginning of the second half, which is what the coaching staff asked of him.

    He doesn¡¯t need to think about allocating physical energy like Grant Hill, and he doesn¡¯t even need to88, the Pistons are 10 points behind!  There are 36 seconds left in this quarter, and the Pistons only scored 20 points!  The Nets scored 30 points!

    Grant Hill had just two rounds of respite when he was beaten 6-0 and could only grit his teeth and continue.

    However, having already scored 15 points in this quarter and a total of 33 points, he was already exhausted after changing direction and breaking through to close range, and his shot at close range was actually short!

    Seeing Jason Williams in a rebounding position, Zhang Hao was very relieved and rushed directly towards the frontcourt.

    His physical strength also declined severely, but when he surpassed four teammates and was closest to the opponent's basket, his speed suddenly increased!

    "Triggered by riding alone (gold), the special contract player Zhang Hao's counterattack speed is +5 this time, and the current speed evaluation is 91"

    Zhang Hao, whose speed had already declined due to declining physical strength, returned to the top level again, but Grant Hill, who was originally slightly faster than Zhang Hao, could not catch up!

    I watched helplessly as Zhang Hao rushed to the frontcourt to receive a long pass from Childs and hit a layup!

    33 points!

    Zhang Hao scored 14 points in a single quarter!  Tied Grant Hill¡¯s game-high score!

    With the Pistons' Alan Houston missing a three-pointer in a single under Childs' defense, after three quarters, with Zhang Hao's 33 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks in the three quarters, the Nets led the Pistons by 12 points, 90-78.  Entering the last intersection!

    I played for 30 minutes in the third quarter and was very tired!  But Zhang Hao still planned to continue playing in the fourth quarter because the opponent was also very tired!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s current goal has changed and become clear!

    rush!

    Now he just needs to keep rushing!

    Because, he can rush forward, but the other party cannot!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 78 78. Crazy debut!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    The 12-point difference seems huge, but the score was actually opened in the last minute and a half of the third quarter.

    Grant Hill took a minute and a half to rest and languished for half a minute. In this minute and a half, Grant Hill didn't harden up, and the Pistons were beaten 8-0!

    The current NBA still has some shadows of the Magic Birds era. Quick offense and defense are no problem in the eyes of players, fans and professionals. After all, there were three teams that averaged over 110 points per game last season.

    But being able to seize the opportunity to perform like this in an anxious game, the Nets' performance is really surprising!

    The ratings of this game are not low, and they are all watching Grant Hill.

    Grant Hill had 33 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals in the three quarters, which was very strong.

    But Zhang Hao had 33 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks not to mention too much!

    And this is a rookie!

    Still a highly questionable 18-year-old high school rookie!

    This nationwide live broadcast is different from the McDonald's Dunk Contest. This is a real popular game that starts in the eveningGrant Hill's popular game.

    But it was Zhang Hao who benefited!

    No matter what the final result of the game is, he truly became famous overnight!

    The Pistons are playing very well and Grant Hill is very good, but the Nets are still leading by 12 points!

    If he had known that the Pistons had such strength before the season, Randy Whitman might not have even thought about winning.

    At this time, the "contempt" before the game and the old impression of the Pistons turned out to be a good thing.

    Just because of the old impression, they were able to play with confidence from the beginning of the game.

    It¡¯s just that Randy Whitman is very nervous now. Even Butch Baird, who doesn¡¯t know much about coaching, gathered around to see the assistant coach¡¯s arrangements.

    calm!

    At this time, Randy Whitman tried hard to calm down, thinking about the last score in the third quarter He asked Zhang Hao: "Can you still run?"

    Zhang Hao nodded: "I was just rubbing ah, I just started to use force."

    It sounds a little weird. Randy Whitman doesn¡¯t care, as long as he can run, and it doesn¡¯t matter if the young man is holding on, but Zhang Hao cannot be replaced at this time.

    31 points!

    How can the team maintain its current strength without Zhang Hao?

    Randy Whitman can¡¯t think of a way, no one can use it, no matter how good the method is, it will be useless.

    Although it is not a good idea to let a rookie who is obviously tired continue to play, there is no better way.

    But for Zhang Hao, he will definitely continue to fight!

    Now he has discovered that the role of "riding alone" becomes more prominent as the game gets later in the game!  The more anxious the game, the more so.

    In this era where there are not many high-quality role players and rotations of 8-10 players are the norm, anxiety means that both teams consume a lot of money. At this time, when he charges, who can stop him?

    This is something Zhang Hao didn¡¯t expect when he got this skill before.

    But that¡¯s really it!

    There are great limitations and they need players who are good at passing the ball, which they have. Kenny Anderson and Childs pass the ball very well. The point guard line formed by the two of them is very good in the entire league.

    There is also the need to defend players who need to protect rebounds. Coincidentally, there are also!

    Feeling Zhang Hao¡¯s fiery eyes, Jason Williams felt his anus tighten

    ¡­¡­

    The inter-section break is over, and the starting players of the two teams in the final quarter come on.

    Sure enough, Grant Hill continued to play in the final quarter, and Joe Dumars, Alan Houston, Addis Thorpe, and Ratliff also played together.

    For the Nets, the combination of Kenny Anderson, Graham, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown is on the court.

    Alan Houston felt incredible when he looked at Zhang Hao, who was in the same company and was the boss of a brokerage company!

    Thinking about it, yesterday I was still thinking about being like a senior in front of Zhang Hao, but I didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to be so fierce!

    If the Nets don't have Zhang Hao, they will score 33 points less, less than 60 points in three quarters. Even if they free up those shots for others, others can make some shots, but without Zhang Hao, it won't be so easy for others to score.  Come down, the Nets don't have Zhang Hao, and it's not that easy to score against the Pistons' defense. They scored 60 points in three quarters!

    In the third quarter of the game, the Pistons players really got to know Zhang Hao and learned about Zhang Hao¡¯s talent and strength!

    The last quarter of the game started with the Nets attacking first.

    ??Kenny Anderson made no extra moves after advancing to the frontcourt and started directly.sp; Another situation is when the Pistons block the Nets' counterattack and try to get rid of players.

    Kenny Anderson counterattacked on his own and hit a layup with a trot.

    103 to 86, a 17-point difference!  The Pistons called a timeout!

    In 4 minutes and 23 seconds, he scored 13 points through counterattacks. The fans at the scene seemed to be reminded of Game 6 of the 1988 Finals. At that time, the Pistons led the Lakers 3-2 after the first five games of the Finals.  By the middle of the fourth quarter, they still led the Lakers by 5 points.

    But in just 5 minutes, the Lakers' James Worthy relied on his speed and Magic Johnson's pass to score 11 points. He went on an 11-5 run to overtake the score and ultimately helped the Lakers.  The team maintained its 1-point lead and tied the score at 3-3!  In the end, the Lakers relied on James Worthy to reverse the entire finals and win the championship with a 4-3 comeback. James Worthy also won the finals MVP.

    That year, everyone only remembers James Worthy¡¯s triple-double in the seventh game, but what Pistons fans remember most clearly is James Worthy¡¯s ferocious counterattack in the final quarter of G6.

    Although the current situation is much different from that game, Zhang Hao's performance in these more than 4 minutes reminded many fans at the scene of that night 7 years ago!

    Players from the two teams returned to the sidelines, but their emotions were completely different on the same night.

    The Nets team has already begun to have a carnival. All the players are surrounding their hero-Zhang Hao, touching their heads, patting their butts

    On the other side, the Pistons' mentality has collapsed, and they don't know how to play!

    How to stop that rookie?

    Have no idea!

    No matter how hard you fight, you just rush forward.

    With the way the Nets play, the way to defeat them is actually very simple.

    Zhang Hao's counterattack is not so unsolvable, but full of flaws. If PJ Brown is the charging arrow, the probability of problems is greater. Zhang Hao can at most avoid PJ Brown's speed and the defender will definitely be able to keep up with this.  defect.

    There are more problems that Zhang Hao has not solved. He just keeps rushing and rushing.

    If the Pistons have another strong singles player besides Grant Hill, just like Kenny Anderson has Almon Gilliam; if the Pistons have another fast outside player besides Grant Hill who can run  Players who are good at fast defense, such as Joe Dumars who is three or four years younger, like Childs and PJ Brown next to Kenny Anderson; if their substitutes can be better

    There are many ways to create winning opportunities.

    But not so many ifs!

    The Pistons don¡¯t have such a candidate now, Grant Hill can¡¯t even jump anymore!

    Being a father and a mother at the same time is what Grant Hill¡¯s current situation is!

    When he returned to the sideline, Grant Hill's knees were weak when he sat down, and he sat down on the chair with a "bang".

    Doug Collins looked at Zhang Hao on the opposite side, who was also being supported by his teammates as he was exhausted, and looked at his younger brother next to him complainingly.

    Scott Collins shrugged helplessly - you wanted to draft Zhang Hao but also wanted to trade for Edith Thorpe, so you traded the No. 8 pick, do you blame me?

    But he really didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to be so good!

    ¡° Even though he brought Zhang Hao from China to Inglewood High School because of his physical talent, he never expected that Zhang Hao¡¯s talent would be so good.

    Although their team is basically certain to lose, their strongest Grant Hill can't beat him, so Kenny Anderson on the opposite side is the strongest one in the game. If nothing else, in terms of scoring ability in a single match, Alan  -Houston is no match for Kenny Anderson, but Scott Collins is a little happy.

    He feels that this idea is wrongbut he is really happy!

    This is his student!  The genius he brought back!

    In order to deal with Zhang Hao, he thought of many ways, but Zhang Hao turned out to be even better than they expected!

    The counterattack scored 16 points directly, the free throws scored 3 points, and the counterattack alone scored 19 points!  Also, Zhang Hao actually adapted to NBA-level confrontation so quickly. After the confrontation, he ran out of position and his shooting was only slightly affected

    In fact, Scott Collins doesn¡¯t have a big intuitive idea of ??Zhang Hao¡¯s strength, because when he was coaching, Zhang Hao was the type who could dunk on centers in California high schools.

    But I really didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to be able to compete with people like Grant Hill and Edith Thorpe in the NBA.

    Scott Collins asked online: What should I do if I want to rebel?

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?What should I do if it¡¯s awesome? The update speed is the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 79 79. The opening is a historical record!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    The two teams were messing around in the last seven minutes or so. The Pistons are just holding on to the extravagant hope of "in case of a comeback" and are shooting hard. On the Nets side, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, Edward  Zidu was tired and was replaced. Kenny Anderson and Almon Gilliam went up to play singles one by one. Defense didn't matter anymore.

    There were no surprises. With a margin of more than 10 points, Grant Hill collapsed after scoring 39 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. The Pistons had no one else who could lead the team to a comeback. They relied on an extremely versatile superstar, Coach Collins.  Only then can the team have the opportunity to build a playoff-level team.

    In the end, the Nets defeated the Pistons in an away game 119-101 and won the opening game!

    The fans at the scene have been booing Zhang Hao since the beginning of the fourth quarter, and now, they have completely quieted down.

    The final result is actually like this

    They saw hope in the preseason.

    They were full of expectations when the game started tonight.

    Halfway through the first quarter, they felt that their hope had become reality.

    But in the end, it ended like this!

    Everything is because of that rookie!

    44 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks!

    Just like future company commander Corey Brewer scored 50+ points against the first shooting guard and no one thought he was really capable of scoring such a high score, everyone thought Zhang Hao's score was due to luck.

    It was indeed good luck. He scored 19 points in the counterattack, 11 of which were scored in the last quarter. In the first three quarters, Zhang Hao counterattacked so fiercely and only scored 8 points.

    But why is it the Pistons who are unlucky?

    ¡°Is it true that I have done too many bad things and now the retribution is coming?

    Their two coaches, one was unwilling and the other was full of comfort.

    In terms of players, the old players are okay. They have seen a lot of big scenes. During their playing days, there was a guy named Michael Jordan.

    But the two rising stars were very emotional.

    ??Alan Houston is sour, tall, and fastit's really amazing!

    Grant Hill played very well personally, but the feeling of trying his best but not being able to win was too torture!

    Sometimes the simpler and more direct approach is the better!

    The key is that others don¡¯t know, but he, the star of the team, knows that they originally wanted to select Zhang Hao. Before the selection, they asked him if he was willing to partner with a high school rookie.

    He has always had a gentle personality and the team wanted to select him, so he supported him.

    But in fact, the team did not select Zhang Hao, but chose Ratliff, a center with good defensive talent. He was secretly happy.

    Ratliff¡¯s ability to protect the frame really satisfied him.

    But now, just playing the first regular season game of the new season, he wants to vomit blood.

    Ratliff is very, very good.

    But now Zhang Hao also has the rim protection that Ratliff has, but Zhang Hao¡¯s athletic ability, shooting, tactical awareness Ratliff has none of it!

    The high school student opposite was supposed to be on their Pistons team!

    The Nets once again surrounded Zhang Hao after the final whistle. Kenny Anderson was the most excited because Zhang Hao broke the NBA Nets single-game scoring record set by Derek Coleman!  This means that one less Derek Coleman mark has been engraved on the team over the years!

    Why is it said to be the Nets¡¯ single-game scoring record in the NBA?

    Because the Nets stayed in the ABA League for many years before joining the NBA. During the Nets' ABA League period, Julius Erving scored 50+ points in a single game.

    Since the NBA does not recognize honors other than All-Stars during the ABA period, Zhang Hao has now become the single-game scoring leader in Nets team history!

    Zhang Hao was also very excited. After being replaced in the fourth quarter, he was so happy that he never closed his mouth.

    44 points!

    63 days lifespan!  Got it!

    And when he heard Kenny Anderson say that he broke the scoring record in team history, he was in a trance and kept giggling.

    But the subtitle prompt after the final whistle sounded made him confused!

    "Specially signed player Zhang Hao has broken the highest score in NBA player debut history. Congratulations to the host for getting the opportunity to open the technical learning mode for the center position."

    There were other reminders, but Zhang Hao was too confused to read them.

    This is a record?

    The score of 44 was very high, so high that it made Zhang Hao giggle with joy.

    But there is still a limit, and it¡¯s not particularly outrageous.

    After all, there is a man who has just come back and has won more than 100 awards.??Washed.

    When some teammates went to take a shower, some stayed in the lounge chatting or resting while waiting to take a shower.

    Zhang Hao wiped away his sweat and accepted the masseuse's muscle relaxation first. Anyway, he knew that he would definitely be the last one to take a shower.

    At this time, a Pistons player came to the visiting team's locker room.

    It¡¯s Grant Hill.

    If it were anyone else from the Pistons who came here, they would probably be kicked out.

    But Grant Hill is different. It is recognized that he has a good character.

    Grant Hill greeted everyone in the locker room very friendly, and he could call everyone by name.

    ¡°This is a flattering feeling for some players, even those who have been playing at the bottom for several years.

    This is a superstar with a salary of more than 5 million US dollars in his second year and a 5-year contract worth 34 million US dollars.

    Grant Hill came to Zhang Hao's side, and Zhang Hao had already stood up.

    Grant Hill said to Zhang Hao: "Akers, you played very well. I am very happy to witness your first game. Welcome to the NBA."

    Zhang Hao had a lot to say at this moment, but in the end he only said one word: "Thank you."

    He didn¡¯t stay too long. Grant Hill only stayed in the visiting team¡¯s locker room for two minutes. He hugged Zhang Hao and then left.

    As soon as Grant Hill left, his teammates chatted again. The general content was that Grant Hill was a very nice person.

    Indeed, compared to other superstars, Grant Hill is very special.

    Graham came up directly, put his arms around Zhang Hao's shoulders and murmured, his tone full of envy.

    But there is not much jealousy in the Nets team. For example, a person who earns 5,000 a month will be jealous of the person who opens a small supermarket next door and makes a profit of 10,000 a month, because he also has the opportunity to earn 10,000 a month; but for those who earn 10,000 a month,  Those with hundreds of thousands are often envious and want to be one of them.

    Until now, Zhang Hao is still a little dazed, thinking about tonight's game, thinking about what he experienced tonight, and thinking about Grant Hill coming to say something to him specially - "Probably the most beautiful NBA welcome ceremony, right?"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After the game and the interview, Zhang Hao was massaging his muscles in the locker room and waiting to take a shower. Tonight's game has already aroused public opinion!

    In this national live broadcast, Zhang Hao defeated Grant Hill!

    Grant Hill entered the NBA with the 3rd pick, a very high pick, and very popular, but at first, Glenn Robinson, who was not as talented as he was, was definitely taken seriously.

    But he became the most watched rookie at the beginning of his rookie season, and then his popularity exploded and he quickly became the All-Star vote winner. What did he rely on?

    In the sixth game of his rookie season, when facing O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway, he scored 21 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, leading the Pistons, who had lost five games in a row to defeat the Magic 114-102.

    You know, the Magic were the favorites to win the championship from the beginning last season. This game made Grant Hill's popularity soar to the highest level in the league, and he directly became the All-Star vote leader in his rookie season.

    Although the attention Zhang Hao received is not as exaggerated as Grant Hill, it is still eye-catching.

    18 years old!

    At least judging from this game, Zhang Hao can adapt to NBA confrontation!

    This is very important. There are many rookies, even rookies graduating from college, who need a year to adapt to NBA competition, such as Kenny Anderson.

    But Zhang Hao was able to adapt from the beginning!

    In the United States, for many reasons and based on facts, the mainstream evaluation of the media is that Zhang Hao¡¯s high score was due to luck.

    But because the opponent has Grant Hill, a new-generation superstar who is very popular with the media, no media said that Zhang Hao's 44 points tonight were of low value.

    Whether it was good luck or not, Zhang Hao scored 44 points in the first game of his career, breaking the highest score for an NBA player in his first game that had been dusted for 36 years!  Wilt Chamberlain's 43 points in the first game of his career passed away!  This incident is sensational enough!

    Over in China, the Imperial Sports Channel broadcasts NBA games live, which is actually stressful. If Zhang Hao doesn't play well, they will definitely be made fun of.

    Because their ratings are very high!  The ratings of live TV broadcasts are generally very high these days.

    ? ? Moreover, they started promoting this game long in advance.

    When Zhang Hao scored 19 points at halftime, there were no more problems.

    When Zhang Hao scored 11 points in 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, breaking the record, the domestic commentator discovered this very keenly, and the domestic fans went crazy!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Crazy!

 Chapter 80 80. Review mode (asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes)

    As the saying goes, if you stand in the wind, a pig can fly into the sky.

    This summer, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team and the men¡¯s youth basketball team have performed very well. There is already a basketball fever. Although the fever is not good, the flames have been lit.

    Or, whenever there is no World Cup, the flame of basketball will be ignited.

    But there is just no way to continue or increase the popularity, because the national team's ability is only enough to ignite the flame.

    By coincidence, Zhang Hao was selected by the NBA and was shortlisted for the best rookie candidate selected by the American media in the preseason, which continued the popularity.

    So far, it has broken the NBA¡¯s 36-year-old record. This flame has finally expanded and exploded!

    Zhang Hao has also become a phenomenon in the domestic sports world!

    This, he learned from Henry Thomas who came over after he returned to the hotel.

    Henry Thomas was extremely excited: "Akers, you are right to refuse to sign an endorsement contract so early. I have just received invitations to meet with several brands"

    After understanding the situation, Zhang Hao said: "You can talk to them. If the price is right and the age is not long, then contact me, otherwise I will refuse temporarily."

    Henry Thomas picked up the word - not long.

    He didn¡¯t expect this at first, but after hearing what Zhang Hao said, he immediately realized it.

    "Yes, the term cannot be too long! It is best to have a short contract!"

    Henry Thomas recalled what he learned when David Falcao asked him to investigate the Chinese market.

    He had an old classmate who worked in China and told him an extremely exaggerated thing.

    There is a city in China that has grown from a small fishing village to the manufacturing capital of the East in just 17 years. The average GDP growth rate in 2017 was 35%. Last year, the GDP growth rate was 41%  Think about a few decades ago, the United States relied on war to sell weapons, and its GDP growth rate was only about this.

    "Other places are not so fast, but it is still scary. Moreover, China's development seems to have just begun.

    At this time, you cannot sign a long-term contract.

    You cannot sign long-term contracts with American brands. In such a market, those brands will definitely be the main focus in the future, and Zhang Hao may become the most sought-after brand spokesperson.

    Even though many brands haven¡¯t noticed this yet, they will in the future.

    So now you don¡¯t have to worry about offending the other party if you refuse.

    Of course, the premise is that Zhang Hao can get better and better. Henry Thomas will still be worried about this at first, but now, there is no need to worry too much.

    We didn¡¯t talk much, Henry Thomas went to work.

    The main thing is to talk about these things with Zhang Hao, and they can be settled in a few moments.

    Zhang Hao always treats these matters very calmly and is always decisive in making decisions.

    Currently, Pelinka is still learning how to be an agent, and Henry Thomas is mainly responsible for these tasks.

    After Henry Thomas left, Zhang Hao sat blankly for a while.

    The situation far exceeded his expectations. He thought that fans would be even crazier in the future because of the advanced information and communication technology. He is a pig. As long as he has enough exposure, he can become popular.

    But now he understands that information and communication technology is underdeveloped, and once it becomes popular, it will become even more violent!

    ¡° Moreover, the only way to understand external consultation now is through newspapers and television.

    Public opinion is very easy to be guided.

    After being dazed for a while, Zhang Hao took his mind back.

    ???????????????? This, if it¡¯s important, can help my father¡¯s cooperation with Starbucks to bring greater help, and can make the family richer This is definitely important.

    ¡°If one day he dies young, he can leave a fortune to his family.

    But the popularity of domestic news about him is actually not that important.

    If he plays well, he will naturally be popular. If he plays poorly, who cares about the popularity now?

    Think about the future big devil. He was selected in the second round and was blown to the sky. His popularity was not lost to the superstars of the NBA, but what was the result?

    Playing well is the most important thing.

    ??Also, if you play well, you can help your team win, live longer, and have greater freedom of choice in the future.

    At this time, Zhang Hao was a little glad that he was in this era. The rookie contract did not have the priority to renew the contract with the home team. It was different after 1998.

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao helped the Nets win the game. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 5-day lifespan reward.

    Task: a small goal

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to score at least 20 points in this game.  (Scored 44 points in a single game, exceedingAt the end, Zhang Hao frowned while analyzing

    In this game, anyone thinks that he played very well, an explosive performance that exceeded his strength. Judging from the results alone, he thinks so too.

    But when analyzed and studied round by round, there are many things that are not done well enough.

    This is normal. Anyone who looks back on something will find that there are many shortcomings.

    Research means studying these aspects, trying to avoid the same mistakes next time, or trying to seize all opportunities next time.

    As for the next time you still can¡¯t grasp it then keep working hard and know what to grasp. This is the most important thing, so that you can find the direction of progress, otherwise there will be no progress.

    Even if you only make a little progress after one night of research, it will be considerable over time!

 Chapter 81 81. Lifespan from the distance (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)

    At 6:15 the next morning, Zhang Hao woke up on time.

    "Remaining life span 430 days"

    After looking at it for a long time, I still have more than 200 destiny left. Now I look at more than 400 destiny, and I feel so good.

    The first thing you do after getting up is adjust your training plan.

    After a night of research, he finally studied last night's game from the ground up. Of course, this was research based on his cognition.

    What he wants to strengthen is also based on his cognition.

    He will first make an adjustment plan on his own, and after returning to Rutherford Town, he will discuss it with Chris Irving and Alvan Adams, the two shooting coaches and technical instructors provided by the team.

    When Zhang Hao went to the restaurant for breakfast at around 7 o'clock, he saw Vaughan Fleming eating two bites of eggs and beating his waist.

    Originally, Zhang Hao usually just said hello when meeting, and then got something to eat by himself. He was not too enthusiastic, and his teammates were used to it.

    But sometimes Zhang Haozui just couldn¡¯t help it. He sat next to Vaughan-Fleming and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you eating fast food? You can¡¯t even eat fast food?¡±

    Vaughn-Fleming almost jumped up when he heard this, but he was afraid of being embarrassed and shouted: "I added money, full set! Double full set!"

    ""

    As expected, you can¡¯t joke like this with someone who is almost 40 years old, as the other person will be anxious.

    Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "Yesterday I scored 44 points and it made the headlines. Did you see it?"

    Vaughan-Fleming accepted this abrupt change of topic. He changed the fast food into a double set meal on impulse last night, but in the end his waist was almost broken. It is embarrassing to think about it.

    "An active professional athlete is very popular in the American service industry. It is rare for people working in this industry. Anyway, he finally changed from a rider to a horse on impulse last night.

    We are out of ammunition and food!

    Vaughan Fleming pretended to have just met today and said: "I can tell without looking that you can even break Chamberlain's record! But you have to be careful next, those superstars will definitely be interested in you.  ."

    This is also a headache for Zhang Hao.

    But if you give him a chance to choose, if he scores 44 points in his first game, he will definitely be targeted next time. He scores more than 20 points in his first game. He is simple and unpretentious. He is an outstanding rookie but not so eye-catching

    What are the options here?

    Now that I think about scoring 44 points in my debut, I still feel so happy!

    It feels even better than when I was a little dizzy last night!

    It is easier to make decisions faster and actively move towards the next step. This is a habit that Zhang Hao developed when his life span is visible.

    He chose to accept this opening happily.

    ¡­¡­

    By noon, Zhang Hao followed the team back to Rutherford Town.

    It¡¯s good to live near the arena. The team is sent directly to the arena and the apartment is just a few steps away.

    What does it mean to become popular overnight?

    As soon as I returned to the apartment, I received a call from Henry Thomas. What was going on with the brand? From meeting to signing the contract, it was not that fast, and Zhang Hao's request might not be agreed to.

    If the price is right, the other party will definitely want a long-term contract. A short-term contract means the price is low, which means the price is inappropriate.

    "Akers, the Nets are going to buy a billboard for you in Jersey City and take pictures tomorrow morning"

    It¡¯s a simple thing, the Nets spend money on advertising.

    ?While it¡¯s hot.

    Players these days are still very concerned about billboards. This is exclusive to the stars, but in fact it is the team that benefits. If the advertising is effective, the effect will be reflected in the Nets selling better tickets.

    They will have their first home game of the new season on November 4, but when they went to Detroit, less than 60% of the tickets for the home opener were sold.

    There is no way, the football market here is too bleak. When Zhang Hao took the team bus from the airport back to the Continental Airlines Arena today, while chatting with the staff, he heard that today was the first time since November last year that fans were selling tickets.  Come and line up to buy tickets during window opening hours.

    There is no doubt that this is the effect of last night's game. The Nets want to strike while the iron is hot.

    The advertising fee is not high, so we can¡¯t negotiate the price yet. This is the price agreed upon in the player¡¯s contract for the right to use his image.

    But in this age when there are not many marketing channels, being on a billboard is an honor, and money is secondary.

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t really care about these, but if there are, of course it would be better.

    But when he was eating lunch and watching TV news, Zhang Hao noticed the change in public opinion.

    His 44 points in a single game last night was the first in the new NBA season; After taking a shower, use Mobile Phone to call the Xinhua News Agency station in Washington and ask them to send a message to Wang Zhizhi to congratulate him.

    There is nothing to give for the time being, mainly because he doesn¡¯t have the ability. He can give suggestions on how the center should adjust his style of play, but the specific details must be done by the famous coach, so he won¡¯t cause any trouble.

    The NCAA plays more than 30 games a year. If it reaches March Madness, there may be up to 5 more games. Zhang Hao¡¯s life span is calculated as an average of 3 days per gameWang Zhizhi guarantees that he will have an additional 100 days of life!

    With the strength of Georgetown University, it is definitely impossible to win only half of the games in a year. They have sophomore Allen Iverson!

    "It's so beautiful, so beautiful"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The battle between rookies is always a highlight.

    Zhang Hao just broke Chamberlain's debut scoring record, and he is about to compete with the No. 1 favorite for the 1995 Rookie of the Year award

    In fact, in terms of strength and talent, Damon Stoudemire is not recognized as the strongest in the 1995 class.

    But Damon Stoudemire has a huge advantage over others - the Raptors only officially joined the NBA on April 25 this year, and only selected 13 players from other teams in the league on June 25 to establish.

    Just like the Magic a few years ago, the Raptors' record prediction is to get 20 wins. Even if they do well, they are also one of the favorite teams to win the No. 1 pick.

    If a rookie with outstanding talent and combat ability comes to play in such a team, if he is a ball-handling player, he does not have to worry about the right to shoot or the ball. Compared with Garnett's earliest treatment, it is much better.  If you have high ball rights and shot rights, your data will naturally be good. For the best rookie, it depends on the data.

    ??Compared with the newly joined team Grizzlies' selection of Bryant Levis, Damon Stoudemire is a point guard, which is naturally more advantageous.

    On the night of November 2nd, in the regular season opener between the Raptors and the Pacers, although the Raptors lost to the Pacers 89-117, Damon Stoudemire scored 26 points, 11 assists and 4 steals.  .

    The shooting percentage is poor, 7 of 23, but his ability to organize offense is amazing.

    Although he is less than 180 centimeters tall, his passing vision is really excellent.

    On November 3, the morning after the Raptors beat the Pacers, Damon Stoudemire followed the Raptors to Rutherford.

    Breathing the fresh air at the urban-rural fringe, Damon Stoudemire felt very comfortable.

    The hotels here are so-so and the living conditions are so-sobut as long as it's not freezing and snowing for half the year, Damon Stoudemire likes it.

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s billboard being installed on the roadside, Damon Stoudemire was very jealous.

    If he wants to become a superstar, the first thing he has to do is dominate his peers.

    Yesterday, I was beaten badly by Mark Jackson I almost cried because my personal offense was blocked.

    He cheered up again today. After all, he graduated as a senior. He knew very well how important it was to play for a few more years at their age. Not to mention comparing it with when he first entered college, he felt that his senior season was better than his junior year.  This season, there has been a leap in strength.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if the veteran can¡¯t do it, he is very confident against the rookies of the same class!

    The first goal of the new season was determined after watching the game between the Nets and the Pistons on the night of November 1st - Zhang Hao!

    ¡­¡­

    November 4th is the day of the Nets¡¯ second game of the new season.

    In the morning, Zhang Hao wakes up on time. His biological clock has been completely developed. As long as he can go to bed and enter the study mode before 12 o'clock, he can wake up on time.

    The key is not to suffer from insomnia. As long as you lie down in bed before 12 o'clock and turn on the study mode, you can fall asleep at 12 o'clock sharp even if you have insomnia.

    Thinking about my future self, I would have insomnia every night and play with my mobile phone until three or four o'clock before falling asleep. Then I would waste half a day in the morning and be able to concentrate on work in the afternoon Zhang Hao really likes the feeling now.

    Last night, the first three match days of the new season ended. A total of 15 games were played, and all 29 teams¡¯ opening games were played.

    Currently, he, Zhang, ranks first in the scoring list!

    After staying in this position for three days, Zhang Hao felt energetic just thinking about it.

    It¡¯s a pity that the Internet and computers are lagging behind these days. The NBA official website is extremely simple, and the traffic is almost non-existent. Otherwise, you can see it if you open the website and rank first in the score list

    The second highest scorer is Michael Jordan. In the opening game against the Hornets, Jordan made 29 wild shots and easily scored 42 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. He used his strength to break the public opinion that he is too old.

    However, the most hotly discussed topic at the moment is not Zhang Hao¡¯s record, nor Jordan¡¯s continued glory, but the fact that Magic has begun to undergo testing by the league.

 Chapter 82 82. I have always been very lucky (please vote for me and recommend me)

    ??Ervin Johnson, this name once represented the NBA and basketball.

    The comeback after 4 years has aroused strong public concern.

    Regarding his choice to come back, public opinion was polarized.

    Some people say that his comeback is a sign of strength, while others say that his comeback is an act of disregarding others and endangering public safety.

    ??In fact, the media doesn't care so much. This matter is hot and they keep hyping it.

    Due to a variety of complicated reasons, the NBA urgently revoked Magic's registration permission to play in the regular season on November 2, suspending Magic's official comeback.

    As a result, the alliance once again fell into the whirlpool of public opinion.

    Last night, Boston TV broadcast a program. When news broke that the news was going to discuss matters related to Magic, everyone thought it was Bostonians who wanted to criticize Magic.

    Enemy team + black players, in Boston

    But what is rare is that the program broadcast by Boston TV this time did not feature the Lakers or Magic.

    This program analyzes the career of a magician from the perspective of an American professional athlete.

    From this perspective, the magician¡¯s retirement is extremely sad.

    Most American professional athletes, regardless of gender, cannot control their lower bodies.

    But being shot is very rare, and unfortunately, the magician became one of them.

    Doing the same thing as everyone else, I became the unluckiest one

    While eating breakfast, he read newspaper news about magicians and Boston TV stations. Zhang Hao would read news about magicians when he had breakfast in the past few days.

    No matter how well others play, even if Jordan plays well, they can't stop the enthusiasm for Magic's comeback. To be precise, they can't stop Magic from coming back - the media leads public opinion to criticize the league for allowing Magic to come back - the league prohibits it  Magic's comeback - the media guides fans to criticize the league for not allowing Magic to come back Such a process.

    "Eh? Boss Joe played so hard to win 72 games this season. Is it possible that it has something to do with the news about Magic's comeback grabbing headlines every day"

    Zhang Hao suddenly had such an idea.

    In this era when the Internet is underdeveloped and the ratings of soap operas are astonishingly high, Zhang Hao estimates that the soap opera "The Magician's Comeback" will never be low in attention.

    This is a good thing for Zhang Hao. His 44-point debut was robbed of the limelight on the afternoon of the 2nd because the league temporarily suspended Magic's comeback.

    Temporary heat has little effect.

    Playing well, working hard, making rapid progressit's enough for the team to see these things.

    By doing this, for an athlete, the heat will come naturally.

    Simply relying on the popularity brought by one or a few regular season games will not be able to bring him much commercial value.

    He became famous because of that game. Several brands including Nike, Adidas, and Reebok contacted him, but the highest price was $300,000 a year, and there was a renewal clause in which the sponsor took the initiative.  .

    This obviously cannot tempt Zhang Hao.

    So, he decisively gave up these things first.

    Playing well is more important. Survive on this team first and play for a long time. Maybe the Mavericks will abandon Kidd and the Nets will take advantage.

    When changing teams, winning should also be your first choice.

    But both require him to continue to improve and play better and better before he can have the right to make his own choices.

    ¡­¡­

    As he had done in the past two weeks, Zhang Hao came to the arena after breakfast, moved his body, and started practicing turnaround jump shots with the help of Chris Irving.

    The amount of practice every day is not large, it is mainly about adjusting details. He and Chris Irving discuss it from the perspectives of players and shooting coaches, and then make adjustments, or make effective adjustments better.

    In half an hour, the training of 200 moving catch-and-turn jump shots ended. After Zhang Hao made the last shot, the prompt came!

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao, skill: catch the ball, turn over and shoot, his evaluation increased from 59 to 60.

    Because Zhang Hao¡¯s catch-and-shoot jump shooting skills reached 60, his catch-and-shoot rating increased from 89 to 90.

    Because Zhang Hao¡¯s catching and shooting evaluation reached 90, his ability evaluation increased from 70 to 71.  "

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 18 years old on January 7, 1977.

    Height 206 cm, wingspan 216 cm

    Weight: 96 kg.

    Position: Forward

    ? ?It¡¯s already exciting for the Dragons players and Nets players.

    On the Nets side, after a tactical training session in the morning, Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Childs, Jason Williams, Edwards, and Vaughn Fleming were mainly responsible for passing the ball.  The players are discussing the details of cooperation based on the Raptors' situation.

    If they beat the Raptors, they must win.

    Edwards has been very calm since his rookie season, a supporting player who knows everything. Although he is not good, he has rich experience and can always mention the key points.

    It was mainly Kenny Anderson who discussed the details with Childs and Vaughan Fleming. Most of the Raptors players were old players who were selected by the Raptors in addition to the eight core players retained by each team.  , although they did not select really strong players, the Raptors definitely want veterans who are suitable to cooperate with the rookies.

    So they know most of the Raptors players quite well.

    Zhang Hao is mainly responsible for listening and talking about things that are related to him. It is important to learn this kind of thing from a veteran.

    He has his own way of analysis, but when it comes to experience-based things, you still need to listen more, read more, and understand more.

    Jason Williams is also one of the core players, but he basically has no sense of involvement in these aspects, just because he is the core of the pick-and-roll.

    He was sitting here, thinking about how to get money from Zhang Hao.

    But, he only needs $500.

    While several people were discussing, PJ Brown returned to the home team lounge, walked into a group of people and said: "Akers, the rookie opposite said you are just lucky"

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao¡¯s first impression of pj Brown is that he is a relatively withdrawn and taciturn person.

    But after getting along for a long time, Zhang Hao¡¯s understanding of pj Brown was completely subverted.

    This guy is very sultry and very naughty.

    It is said that it was this guy who suggested that he play center on the defensive end in the last game.

    ? ?Also, this guy loves to wander around, eavesdropping on interviews and the like.

    Not long after pj-Brown came back from eavesdropping on the interview, reporters came to interview them and the Nets came.

    There was already a group interview before training in the morning, and this interview is an exclusive interview.

    Zhang Hao has already accepted an exclusive interview with the Imperial TV station before. The enthusiasm of the domestic media is quite high, so much so that Zhang Hao has become accustomed to being interviewed by domestic reporters every two days. He may not be able to appear on TV or in newspapers after every interview, but the interviews are always  have.

    After all, news resources are precious, and what needs to be reported must be something new, or something explosive that needs to be repeatedly hyped.

    This interview is with a relatively familiar American cable TV station.

    The first American media Zhang Hao interviewed after joining the Nets was American Cable TV. At that time, American Cable TV was running an "NBA High School Rookie Special".

    Once you get acquainted, you don¡¯t need to go through the process. After shaking hands and saying hello, you can start the interview directly.

    "Akers, you scored 44 points in your debut, what are your expectations for the next game?"

    ¡°I hope to win the game.¡±

    It was still so simple and direct. It was difficult to get a topical answer from Zhang Hao in this kind of neither salty nor bland question. The reporter from the American cable TV station was not surprised. He had interviewed him several times and he knew that Zhang Hao was very good in this regard.  excellent.

    Let¡¯s be more direct. The reporter asked: ¡°We just interviewed Damon Stoudemire. He said that you were lucky to break Chamberlain¡¯s debut scoring record. Do you have anything to say about this?¡±

    ¡°I also think I¡¯m lucky.¡±

    Are you giving in?  Even if they knew something about Zhang Hao, the reporter was surprised.

    Zhang Hao paused for a few seconds and continued: "I have always been very lucky, but that is not necessarily the case for others. Maybe many rookies in my class have bad luck in their lives and will never get 44 points!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 83 83. A man must be better than a man who is fast (please vote for me and recommend me)

    The place was actually full.

    The fans at the scene were very enthusiastic, and many fans held placards with "x" written on them.

    "Crooked? Why are you a high school student?"

    Listening to Damon Stoudemire's words, the old players smiled or joked quietly where he couldn't see it.

    ¡°This kind of mentality they don¡¯t think there is anything wrong with it. They were all like this back then.

    Players in the same generation who play well and receive higher attention will have a similar mentality in the early stages of their careers.

    ¡°This kind of thing, after a long time, you will naturally get used to it.

    But Damon Stoudemire may be different. This team is the "true core" of the team and may become an All-Star

    Damon Stoudemire looked at the dark tunnel opposite, with envy and jealousy visible on his face!

    The Raptors' market is in a slump. As a new team, they have no presence in Toronto, but compared with the ice hockey team, they are at most as popular as the local minor league team.  Pretty much. Compared with the Toronto Maple Leafs, a veteran team in North American ice hockey, they are at best green leaves that are just budding.

    It¡¯s only after experiencing the Magic Birds and the Bulls Dynasty that Canadians¡¯ enthusiasm for the NBA has greatly increased, allowing the Raptors, a newly formed team, to compete with Toronto¡¯s minor hockey league teams in popularity.

    Not to mention the Vancouver Grizzlies, attendance for the home opener will reach half, with half of the 19,772 seats empty.

    When he came to New Jersey to play for the Nets, Damon Stoudemire knew this team quite well. After all, the Nets had been a team in the NBA for several years and were once a strong team in the ABA League.  A talented basketball player, he has a deep understanding of the NBA and knows that the Nets are also a team with low popularity.

    When he came to Rutherford Town and saw the desolate environment here, he liked it very much. He thought Zhang Hao would have the same treatment as he did in Toronto.

    But, the situation is very different!

    The visiting team players played first, and the main target of the Raptors¡¯ boos was his little flying squirrel!

    When the home team players came out, when Almon Gilliam came on the field, there were cheers, but not loud.

    When Zhang Hao, the second starter of the Nets, came on the field, the crowd burst into cheers and screams!

    Many fans come here just for Zhang Hao.

    This makes Damon Stoudemire even more envious. The class of 1995 showed talent beyond expectations in the preseason, but that was just a display of talent.

    The regular season is the real test of their ability to turn talent into strength.

    He played well enough in the first game, with 26 points and 11 assists!

    However, Zhang Hao scored 44 points and became the first player in the 1995 class to leave the circle!

    Also because of Zhang Hao's 44 points, he was only called "playing well" when he scored 26+11.

    Zhang Hao scored 44 points. Even if Zhang Hao plays poorly and shoots poorly next, people will have high expectations for Zhang Hao. There will be a lot of backlash against him for not playing well, but the expectations may be short-lived.  Will not break.

    Because he already has a masterpiece.

    This makes Damon Stoudemire extremely envious and jealous.

    On the other side, Almon Gilliam listened to the cheers caused by Zhang Hao. He was also envious and jealous, but his mood was more positive. After Zhang Hao stood next to him, he said sourly: "Akers, you  You have to thank me, you can score so many points, you have to thank me for my restraint!"

    Zhang Hao felt helpless, but said: "Of course, Almon, you are the strongest singles player on the team."

    Almon Gilliam was very satisfied with Zhang Hao¡¯s answer.

    Even Kenny Anderson would not deny this statement.

    Almon Gilliam has a straightforward personality and easily offends people. Otherwise, he would not have been given up by the 76ers, nor would he have had a bad relationship with Kenny Anderson after coming to the Nets. At the same time, he would not have dealt with Coleman.  He was forced to play on the bench for two years.

    Others, including team boss Kenny Anderson, who was the last player to play, thought there was nothing wrong with Zhang Hao's cheering being much higher than that of others.

    Zhang Hao scored 44 points in the opening game. The ones who were most affected were not others, but their teammates.

    At the same time, Zhang Hao also felt that even though the team was developing in a good direction, the team was not harmonious and there were still various small conflicts and contradictions.

    After all, they are a group of people with different personalities and life experiences. How could they become a family so easily when they get together?

    But due to many complex factorsYan Yan rushed directly to the basket, and Almon Gilliam at the free throw line was unable to stop him.

    Zhang Hao rushed back to the basket and took off to block the shot. Damon Stoudemire took off half a step on the left side of the three-second zone. He stopped in the air and avoided Zhang Hao. Then he leaned forward and his upper body appeared on the other side of the basket.  One side, back-to-the-basket layup

    Hit!

    So fast!  Ridiculously fast!

    The Nets are all shocked by Damon Stoudemire's speed!

    Kenny Anderson is already fast enough, very fast, but this rookie can actually be even faster!

    The details of Zhang Hao's defense also left his teammates speechless. He moved the position of the defense very well and showed his awareness of defense, but his defense after the defense was in place was very poor.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Zhang Hao has more defensive experience, he will not take off so easily after making up for it. The mini point guard on the opposite side jumps up and the lever behind his waist is too easy to defend.

    Zhang Hao also felt this belatedly, but he had no choice but to do it in that blink of an eye. It was really the gap in experience.

    However, his teammates chose to be tolerant of Zhang Hao. Even Jason Williams, who was on the sidelines, complained about it and unconsciously thought of Zhang Hao's advantages - at least his defense was in place.

    The effect of "returning to one's heart" subtly affects Zhang Hao's teammates.

    Zhang Hao made up his mind to take precautions next time.

    Picked up the ball and sent it to Kenny Anderson, and the Nets attacked.

    Oliver Miller¡¯s big pile squatting under the basket is really eye-catching.

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt and accelerated to break through, and Damon Stoudemire followed closely!  Kenny Anderson was blocked from the three-point line!

    At the beginning, he was a little doubtful about defending Kenny Anderson, but now, he is sure that the rookie opposite him is really faster than him!

    With the competitive spirit coming, Kenny Anderson changed direction with a cross step and made a strong breakthrough from the left.

    Damon Stoudemire continued to keep up, Kenny Anderson failed to get rid of it, but Damon Stoudemire also failed to limit Kenny Anderson's speed, and Damon Stoudemire  I had to move at full speed to keep up.

    Kenny Anderson rushed deep to the left and suddenly stopped at high speed. At this time, the difference in strength was revealed. Kenny Anderson stopped, but Damon Stoudemire couldn't hold it back and jumped out.  Got it!

    The moment he stopped, Kenny Anderson moved the ball to his right. Damon Stoudemire passed by the ball. Kenny Anderson changed direction and rushed towards the basket.  He jumped up from the left side of the second zone and faced off against Oliver Miller, who came in as a replacement.

    There is a huge size difference between a 79kg small point guard and a 133kg giant inside man. Kenny Anderson was knocked over immediately, but he was good at his hands and had strong core strength. He threw the ball while falling backwards.  Backboard

    Hit with the board!

    When Kenny Anderson threw the ball, the referee's whistle had already sounded.

    The goal is valid and there are additional penalties!

    pretty!

    Zhang Hao excitedly rushed forward and pulled Kenny Anderson up.

    This ball is so beautiful.

    Seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s excitement, Kenny Anderson said in a sullen tone: ¡°See, hurrying up is useless.

    Men don¡¯t necessarily have to be fast, they have to be accurate.  "

    Zhang Hao always feels weird when he hears itbut what the boss said is right.

    With this ball, Zhang Hao felt how good Kenny Anderson's shooting skills were. Limited by his height, Kenny Anderson's layup level on the court was only 90 in the system's judgment, but Zhang Hao felt that Kenny Anderson's layup level was  His basketball skills are much better than Zhang's. It's not just the difference between 89 and 90, it's definitely bigger.

    ¡°Just because of his size, Kenny Anderson¡¯s excellent skills can only produce a 90% close attack performance on the court.

    Kenny Anderson made an extra free throw, and the Nets led 3-2 by 1 point.

    Zhang Hao returned to the backcourt. He was excited just watching Kenny Anderson's attack under the basket, but now he can't get excited anymore.

    He Zhang showed a good ability to protect the frame in the opening game. This is an ability that has been demonstrated now. He is talented in assisting defense but needs time to learn basic skills and accumulate experience, so in this game he was blocked on the defensive end.  The assigned task is to protect the frame.

    There is a player on the opposite side who has similar characteristics to him, but is more extreme. He can only stay in the three-second zone on both offense and defense.

    but¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao looked at Oliver Miller, who was several times fatter than him next to him

    "Holy shit! How can I prevent this?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 84 84. Faster than the fastest!  (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    On the other side, Damon Stoudemire advanced to the frontcourt and saw Zhang Hao and Oliver Miller standing together. The former¡¯s bare feet were 206 centimeters, while the latter¡¯s feet were 206 centimeters with shoes. The former was a little taller than the latter.

    But with the latter¡¯s huge size, the former simply doesn¡¯t look too pitiful.

    This picture makes Damon Stoudemire extremely excited!

    Let¡¯s make him even more pitiful!

    Damon Stoudemire lobbed the ball to Oliver Miller, who was leaning on Zhang Hao to ask for the ball, and he yelled in his heart - Ollie

    ? 133 kg, 97 strength To Zhang Hao, Oliver Miller is no different from O'Neal, although he has never played against O'Neal.

    He couldn't even get stuck in the position, let alone defend, and he was directly pushed by the opponent to open the basket.

    Standing and shooting in low post singles!  Oliver Miller relied on his fat body to get a perfect shooting space, and PJ Brown was too late to defend.

    but!

    Just when Oliver Miller threw the ball, Zhang Hao gave up completely and stepped away.

    Don't mention it, Oliver Miller is really stable, like a weight, short and strong, Zhang Hao's pull away has no impact on Oliver Miller at all. This Zhang Hao is mentally prepared, and when Oliver Miller puts the ball in  After the basket fell, he immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Kenny Anderson.

    Kenny Anderson immediately understood and started to fight back!

    Zhang Hao did not get the chance to trigger the "single ride", but he and PJ Brown quickly moved down the wings, and Graham followed up, creating a good opportunity for Kenny Anderson to advance the counterattack.

    Zhang Hao rushed all the way to the left baseline. On the other side, Kenny Anderson and PJ Brown attracted all the attention of the Raptors defenders. Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao caught the ball and made a mid-range shot but missed!  But Graham followed up and hit a tip-in.

    Very beautiful four-man fast break!

    After the last game against the Pistons, the playing style of their starting combination became clearer. They fell into a positional battle, with Almon Gilliam as the main attacker. In the previous round of offense, Kenny Anderson chose singles.  He had just been hit by a rookie, and he had to hit him back. Almon Gilliam wouldn't say anything. If he encountered the same situation, he would hit him back.

    And when there is a fast break opportunity, they play very clearly. No matter how they have the opportunity to increase the speed, they will definitely increase the speed.

    Maybe against some strong teams, strong fast break will cause a lot of trouble, but against the Raptors, it is not a big problem.

    Tried it, it works!

    After scoring a goal, retreat quickly. This lineup comes in quickly and leaves quickly. It is very active in retreating and defending in place.

    Damon Stoudemire received the serve and advanced quickly. The breakthrough point was passed to the point guard Earvin Robertson. Earvin Robertson hit a jumper from close range!

    The defense is really bad. Fortunately, through the preseason, Zhang Hao has gotten used to it, and he can see that his teammates are working hard, but they are not capable enough.

    Just now on the defensive end, his teammates were intimidated by Oliver Miller's size, giving Carlos Rodgers the opportunity to help Elvin Robertson pick and roll without the ball. Only then did Elvin Robertson receive the ball from close range.  Shot opportunity.

    Instead of worrying about the poor defensive end, Zhang Hao quickly picked up the ball and served.

    The Raptors are very positive. The new team has a new atmosphere. As the first batch of players to build the team, they want to prove themselves.

    This time Kenny Anderson failed to push for a fast break. After crossing the half court, he decisively slowed down and passed the ball to Almon Gilliam outside the three-point line.

    Who would have thought, Almon Gilliam actually passed the ball back to Kenny Anderson!

    What the hell!

    Kenny Anderson was wondering when he saw Zhang Hao slipping through the baseline from the same side as Almon Gilliam and running out of PJ Brown's pick-and-roll, and quickly passed the ball to Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao received the ball and there was a big gap!

    This time Zhang Hao did not miss, and easily hit the mid-range shot one step inside the right side of the free throw line in the three-second area.

    This is his favorite distance. One step inside the free throw line is the most comfortable distance for him to shoot.

    On the offensive end, it was very easy for a few rounds, but on the defensive end, the Nets never got better.

    A few more rounds passed, half a quarter was over, and the timeout entered. The two teams were tied at 17 to 16. The Nets relied on PJ Brown to rush for the offensive rebound and make a second attack to help the Nets win.  1 point lead.

    When he walked back to the bench, Kenny Anderson couldn't stop complaining: "Almon, why don't you play alone when I give you the ball? You scored two goals and we can extend our lead!"

    Who would have thought that Almon Gilliam answered very directly: "The guy opposite is too big, take that little spaceThe defense is not good either"

    Back in the backcourt, Jason Williams continued to defend Oliver Miller with a tragic mood. He saw Zhang Hao running towards Oliver Miller first and waved towards him

    "Good brother! So loyal!"

    But I still have to ask for 500 yuan.

    Jason Williams did not refuse at all and ran to Tony Massenberg without hesitation.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Seeing that the person guarding him turned into Zhang Hao again, he became even more excited, bullying the popular rookie, this feeling is not too good!

    The most excited person was undoubtedly Damon Stoudemire. Seeing Zhang Hao defending the basket, Damon Stoudemire immediately took the ball after Oliver Miller fell into the right sideline of the three-second zone.  Hanging over, it seemed like I saw the scene of Zhang Hao being blasted and beaten

    At this moment, Zhang Hao, who was slightly taller than Oliver Miller, came around like a nimble little defender. When Oliver Miller was about to receive the ball, he relied on his wingspan advantage to touch him first.  To the ball!

    The direction in which the ball was shot was exactly in the direction of Edwards!

    Zhang Hao immediately accelerated and rushed out like an arrow. When he rushed out of the free throw line, because Childs wanted to attack inside after Damon Stoudemire passed the ball, Childs had already retreated to the free throw line. Others  The three teammates were all below the free throw line. Zhang Hao triggered "Ride Alone" and his speed increased dramatically!

    Damon Stoudemire saw Zhang Hao rushing out, and he moved back at first. When he saw Zhang Hao accelerating at the free throw line, he felt something bad, and when he was about to turn around, Zhang Hao had already rushed out of the free throw line for three seconds.  The dividing line is one position ahead of him!

    ¡°Ride alone¡± at full power!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s speed soared to 100!

    Zhang Hao just counterattacked and sprinted, and the fans at the scene started cheering crazily!

    too exaggerated!  They saw with their own eyes how terrifying Damon Stoudemire's speed was before, even faster than Kenny Anderson, who they thought was the fastest player in the league.

    But Zhang Hao counterattacked, but Damon Stoudemire couldn't even catch up!

    Damon Stoudemire turned around and wanted to catch the ball with Jing Hao and Zhang Hao, who was about to interfere, but found that the gap between him and Zhang Hao was getting wider and wider!

    Damon Stoudemire watched helplessly as Zhang Hao rushed to his free throw line, received the ball, and scored two points with a left-hand dunk!

    Explode the scene!

    21 to 18, the Nets lead by 3 points.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao completed a wonderful counterattack dunk, and the Dunk Master (Bronze) was triggered. The Nets' morale greatly increased in the next three rounds."

    The Nets players were already in high spirits after Zhang Hao used a forward defense to guard Oliver Miller, who they had been unable to deal with.

    They look down on the Raptors. Although they have the strength advantage to beat them and can grind it out slowly, it always feels unpleasant. Although it won't mean that their morale will be hit, it is certainly not pleasant.

    Seeing Zhang Hao defend the opponent once and score a dunk on counterattack, they felt very happy. This emotion just emerged and quickly reached its peak!

    Damon Stoudemire watched Zhang Hao land with strong hostility in his eyes, and wanted to spray some trash talk at Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao turned around and ran directly back to the backcourt after landing

    "You actually ignored meIs it amazing to grow taller? FYou can grow so tall so quickly!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 85 85. Is he more suitable to play center?  (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    The one who was hit the hardest was, of course, Damon Stoudemire.

    Zhang Hao really didn't notice that there was someone following behind him. When he ran back, he looked at Oliver Miller who was still at the free throw line on the opposite side. The gap between his eyesight and Damon Stoudamire's was nearly 30 centimeters.  .

    Zhang Hao found that it is not that easy to go around and defend. Oliver Miller's flexibility is no worse than Jason Williams. He is also huge and has the awareness to use his body to avoid being passed around.

    That is to say, Zhang¡¯s flexibility is no worse than that of a flexible defender. Coupled with the advantage of height and wingspan, he can quickly change directions and go around to the other side of Oliver Miller¡¯s interference to poke the ball out.

    And you have to be lucky enough to poke the ball in the direction of your teammates in order to have a chance to counterattack.

    "Is it true that I'm the only one who can guard the center? What's the matter! I'm a small forward! A forward! A forward Hey, a center is also a forward? Huh!"

    Returning to the backcourt, Zhang Hao high-fived his teammates and came to Oliver Miller again.

    This guyOliver Miller was very unhappy with the ball just now. He continued to rely on Zhang Hao to get the ball. His movements were very rough and he tried hard to block Zhang Hao from behind.

    Zhang Hao really didn¡¯t get out, the opponent¡¯s power was really terrifying!

    Damon Stoudemire was overjoyed when he saw this and lobbed the ball towards Oliver Miller.

    ??Oliver Miller leaned back against Zhang Hao with all his strength, reached out to catch the ball and missed the ball!  He sat back and walked out!

    The ball hit Oliver Miller and bounced out of bounds. The referee signaled that the Raptors made a mistake and the Nets had the ball.

    Remove the chair!

    Zhang Hao used tricks that most insiders would disdain to use to remove the chair!

    This defensive method, in the eyes of insiders these days, is a proper soft-egg defense.

    Zhang Hao looked at Oliver Miller, who was lying on his butt in Pingsha Luoyan, and felt that his face was a little hot, and he reached out to pull him up.

    Oliver Miller ignored Zhang Hao¡¯s hand and pulled Tony Massenberg next to him to stand up.

    Zhang Hao curled his lips and didn't care anymore. He ran towards the frontcourt and was a little happy to have defended him in both rounds.

    If you don¡¯t have enough experience or basic skills, then you have to rely on your physical fitness and your brain to find a solution.

    The Nets served from the backcourt. Due to the dead ball, the Raptors made mistakes and had no fast break opportunities, and continued to fall into a positional battle.

    The players have different opinions on Zhang Hao's defense just now. The players on the Raptors team must think that Zhang Hao is shameless and uses such a defense that only a weakling would use. Of course, some people think that with Zhang Hao's size, in addition to playing these tricks,  There is no other way.

    The coaches of the two teams have very different views - their judgment of timing is excellent!

    Withdrawing the chair, you also need to seize the moment when the opponent exerts his fullest strength to ensure success. The moment when Zhang Hao withdrew his chair just now happened to be the moment when Oliver Miller exerted his fullest strength.

    "Is it possible that Akers is more suitable to play center?" Randy Whitman came up with this idea.

    There is no shortage of short centers in any era.

    On the court, Childs advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play pick-and-roll with Jason Williams.

    Successful tactics must of course continue to play. Zhang Hao stopped suddenly and ran to the outside to pull out.

    Tony Massenberg¡¯s awareness is quite good. This time Zhang Hao¡¯s reverse run failed to get rid of the defense directly, and Tony Massenberg rushed out risking his life.

    But Zhang Hao reacted faster!  He rushed to the free throw line and just stepped on the top right corner of the free throw line. He suddenly changed direction and ran backwards again, rushing to the inside!

    Childs reacted quickly and lobbed the ball toward the reasonable collision area. Zhang Hao rushed outside the reasonable collision area to catch the ball. At this time, Damon Stoudemire rushed in from the side of the ball!

    Knowing that he couldn¡¯t guard him, the moment Zhang Hao received the ball, Damon Stoudemire rushed forward and hugged Zhang Hao¡¯s waist.

    If Zhang Hao is a type with good explosive power, if he is pulled by Damon Stoudemire, Zhang Hao will most likely be unable to take off, and Damon Stoudemire will be like hanging on Zhang Hao's arm.

    But what Zhang Hao relies on is not explosive power, but hard strength, taking off with Damon Stoudami hanging on him!

    Damon Stoudemire couldn't hold back, and it was too late to let go. He was lifted into the air by Zhang Hao!

    The moment the referee¡¯s whistle blew, Zhang Hao jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!

    After Zhang Hao landed, Damon Stoudemire, who had been hugging Zhang Hao from the side, changed his hands to hug Zhang Hao from behind. His feet were on the ground and his knees were almost touching the ground

    The scene exploded!  This picture is simply not too cruel!

    Just rely on brute force, hanging Damon StoudemireHe was so excited, his mind was spinning so fast, and he actually found a way to defend Oliver Miller.

    Although Oliver Miller is not that strong, he is very useful against the Nets. Randy Whitman is most worried about this, but Zhang Hao thought of a way

    When it comes to the rotation stage, the situation on the court is not bad. Don't worry, the lead has become more and more obvious. The Raptors' momentum as a new team has been overwhelmed by Zhang Hao's performance in the first quarter.

    Randy Whitman hesitated for a moment and asked the head coach next to him: "Butch, do you think Akers is more suitable to play center? Will he still grow taller?"

    "" Butch Baird looked at Zhang Hao's thin bamboo pole-like figure. This time it was his turn to be silent. Then he looked at Randy Whitman's expectant eyes: "I think so."

    "It won't work either way. Don't let Akers play center. He still needs to grow, both physically and technically."

    "???" Butch Baird had a black line in his head - what was I thinking?

    ¡­¡­

    The situation of the game has been brought back to the right track for the Nets by Zhang Hao. Without Zhang Hao's counterattack dunk that greatly boosted morale, and the key is the excellent defense in those three rounds, the Nets may have been different from the beginning of the season.  The highly motivated Raptors have been grinding for a long time.

    If there is a grinding battle, the Raptors' outside shot will be controlled by Oliver Miller's inside. It's hard to say who will lose and who will win. We are all NBA teams, and the last place has the possibility of beating the league's first place.  , and it has happened many times in NBA history, let alone the Nets.

    But just by relying on Zhang Hao's few rounds to break the deadlock, the Nets established a clear lead and at the same time dispersed the Raptors' momentum.

    In the second quarter, relying on Almon Gilliam¡¯s 9 points in a single quarter and the pick-and-roll offense of Childs and Jason Williams, the Nets scored 18 to 12 in the half quarter.

    By the time Zhang Hao came on the court, the score was 51 to 34, and the lead had expanded to 17 points.

    At this time, the Raptors have completely started to fight. A chaotic fight is suitable for Damon Stoudemire and a group of teammates with excellent athletic ability to charge wildly, but it is also suitable for Kenny Anderson!

    Moreover, the point guards on both sides have similar characteristics, but Kenny Anderson is stronger!

    At the end of the half, Zhang Hao's personal score increased to 15 points, and the Nets also entered the halftime break with a 21-point lead 69-48.

    The second half turned into garbage time. Randy Whitman put Zhang Hao, Childs, Jason Williams, Edwards, and Vaughan Fleming on the court.

    Let Zhang Hao practice catching the ball, turning over and shooting in positional battles!

    There were no surprises in the result of the game. The Raptors had no ability to make a comeback. If they had high morale from the beginning, played better and shot more accurately, their new team would have the potential to defeat any opponent, but once they were defeated  When it collapses, it's like a ball of loose sand.

    120 to 91, the Nets slaughtered the Raptors by 29 points, starting their second consecutive victory!

    Zhang Hao also played 14 minutes in garbage time and played 32 minutes in the game. He made 9 of 19 shots and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, and 4 turnovers

    Seeing that he went from shooting 6 out of 10 in the first half with a 60% shooting percentage and only two turnovers, to 9 out of 19 shooting in the end with a shooting percentage of less than 50% and 4 turnovers Zhang Hao felt that he was developing new technologies.  so hard!

 Chapter 86 86. What should I do if my little brother needs spanking more and more?  (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao helped the Nets win the game, and the hosts received a total of 5 days of life bonus.

    The remaining life is 431 days and the usable life is 430 days.  "

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received the reminder and his life span returned to more than 430 days.

    But thinking about having to spend another two days tonight reviewing the game

    "We still have to review it! Look carefully, I only made one of these 6 turnaround jump shots."

    After the game, Damon Stoudemire on the opposite side left directly without giving Zhang Hao a chance to get acquainted.

    Zhang Hao felt that the opponent played very well and had excellent independent offensive ability. He scored 20 points on 7 of 18 shots and had 9 assists. It was a very good performance and he was worthy of being the head guard of the future championship team Trail Blazers.

    From the perspective of playing style, Zhang Hao discovered that Damon Stoudemire is not unique in sticking to the ball The entire Raptors team pointed at this rookie. If he is not unique, the Raptors can't play.

    But Kenny Anderson was still great. He played 22 minutes and scored 25 points and 6 assists on 9 of 16 shots. Childs also had 8 points and 8 assists. Almon Gilliam was okay, scoring 15 points.

    After the game, he accepted a routine interview. Zhang Hao could imagine how the domestic media would criticize him, but he also thought about how he would be trampled when he didn't play well

    "You have to work hard! Although I don't care, I don't want to be scolded either"

    ¡­¡­

    With 23 points, Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in the second game was in line with the expectations of the Nets coaching staff, and also broke the media¡¯s remarks that his performance in the first game was just good luck.

    The most surprising thing is that Zhang Hao blocked 4 shots in the first game and 3 more in the second game.

    There is no doubt that Zhang Hao, who broke Chamberlain's record with 44 points in the first game and scored 23 points with a solid performance in the second game, is the hottest rookie at the moment.

    It was night, Zhang Hao entered the learning mode, and spent two days reviewing and analyzing the game.

    First, he focused on his 6 turnaround jump shots in the second half.

    "It's still the same problem. At that time, I seemed to be thinking about turning over and shooting, and I didn't even notice the regular opportunities"

    Then he looked at his offense throughout the game.

    "When I was catching the ball and shooting in the first half, I completely forgot about the turn-over jump shot"

    ""

    ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry, take your time, practice more, think more, apply more, you will definitely get better and better. Learning is better than not learning, right?¡±

    After reviewing his individual offense, Zhang Hao focused on the team's cooperation.

    "Chils seems to have rarely played pick-and-rolls with anyone other than Williams, preferring to hand the ball over to Edwards for off-ball play I remembered that Childs and Brown had played pick-and-rolls in the preseason, and the effect was  Not good, that¡¯s why I chose this way.

    When Anderson is counterattacking, it seems that apart from passing to me for transfer, the rest of the time he passes the ball directly to teammates who have scoring opportunities, otherwise he does it himself Indeed, there are not many in our team who can do better in counterattacks.  Determined player, Childs has the ability, but is not suitable to play fast break.  "

    When reviewing, I was very focused, and because I could find interesting things, time passed quickly, 4 hours flew by

    At 6:15, when Zhang Hao opened his eyes again, his life span was 3 days shorter than before going to bed last night.

    ¡°The remaining life is 428 days and the available life is 427 days.¡±

    Still so heartbroken!

    But in this review, Zhang Hao felt that he had discovered something deeper about the team.

    "As long as it's worth it, use it."

    After getting up and washing up, I ate a tasteless breakfast sent by the team chef.

    Thinking back to half a year ago, Zhang Hao thought that people who were strict about their body shape were freaks and ate grass and half-cooked meat every day. Now, he was actually used to it.

    When Zhang Hao arrived at the arena at 7:58, he saw Randy Whitman, Butch Baird, and Alvan Adams just coming out of the office, their faces full of oil.

    ¡°Coach, you didn¡¯t sleep last night?¡±

    Hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s question, Randy Whitman¡¯s face was expressionless, and Alvan Adams was filled with helplessness.

    Alvan Adams did not refuse such an arrangement. He found the joy of cultivating a genius. He used to think that he would not like being a coach or an NBA team management job, but after meeting Zhang Hao, he found this  pleasure.

    After playing two games, there are indeed a lot of things that need to be studied.

    The Nets are currently in dire straits. As for tactical adjustment alone, they probably won¡¯t be able to complete it without twenty or thirty games.

    he??, their Nets can afford to lose

    However, Kenny Anderson is also confused - is his little brother considered mature?  Still immature?

    It feels like I have multiple personalities!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Remaining life span is 424 days, available life span is 423 days"

    It was another night of game review. When Zhang Hao woke up at 6:15, he felt refreshed and energetic, and then he saw a heartbreaking lifespan reminder.

    Yesterday, the lifespan of the game increased by 1 day, and then the replay in the early morning used two days of lifespan, and it was even reduced by 1 day

    But there are benefits to reviewing the game. What Zhang Hao focused on analyzing in the early morning was not his own performance, but the performance of the entire team.

    At 9 a.m., we took the team bus to the airport to meet the coaching staff and teammates and headed to Miami.

    Next, the Nets will have two consecutive visits to the south coast, playing the Heat and the Eagles.

    The opponents are very strong, even if these two opponents are only teams in the bottom half of the playoffs for many years, they are very strong for the Nets.

    The game against the Pistons doesn't count. The Pistons are obviously just getting stronger. They were not as good as the Nets last season and were beaten badly by Zhang Hao's explosion.

    It was natural to win against the Raptors. After Zhang Hao beat Oliver Miller and Damon Stoudemire on both offense and defense in the first quarter, the Raptors immediately collapsed.

    But when the Trail Blazers were a strong team in the playoffs for many years, the gap in strength was exposed.

    After getting on the plane, Zhang Hao took the initiative to find the coaching staff to discuss the problems encountered in the game against the Trail Blazers last night.

    The coaching staff attaches great importance to Zhang Hao's "memory" and analytical skills.

    On the plane and at the hotel in Miami, I spent a long time analyzing last night¡¯s game.

    The teammates have all gone to enjoy the warm climate on the south coast of Miami, but Zhang Hao is still discussing with the coaches.

    Everything is difficult at the beginning. It has only been two or three weeks since the Nets were ambitious.

    There¡¯s never enough time during the season!

    Zhang Hao felt this clearly.

    After the game against the Bulls, their skin thickened. They were not affected by the loss, but they didn't want to continue to be so bad.

    They must find a way to change. They have played so many games in the preseason + the first three games of the regular season. They know that compared with the real bad teams, they are not really that bad, and they have entered the playoffs with stability.  Compared with the strong teams in the competition, there is a huge gap, but they still have room for improvement What they need at this time is time.

    Singing "Borrow the Sky for Another Five Hundred Years", I fell asleep and turned on the learning mode. Today's simulation training is about catching the ball, turning around and shooting jump shots.

    ¡­¡­

    Beach Coast Arena.

    It¡¯s not the American Airlines Arena that Zhang Hao remembers. It¡¯s so old.

    We conducted tactical meetings and preparation training for the Heat. The intensity was not high. There was not much to prepare for at the beginning of the season, and the preparations for the morning ended quickly.

    The teammates have gone to find a store. They were not allowed to go out under the curfew last night, but tonight is different. After the game, they can hang out. They only come to Miami twice a year, so of course they have to have fun.

    Zhang Hao can¡¯t do things like dining out.

    Wandering around the arena for a while, I saw a bulletin board outside the arena.

    It says the ticket sales information for tonight¡¯s game, and it just happened to be updated to the latest information. There are 18,772 seats, and 18,006 have been sold.

    "The basketball market is very good! People in Miami seem to be quite wealthyThis isoh, the new arena is under construction and will be completed in January 1999. It should be the American Airlines Center"

    Zhang Hao learned a little about the Heat and was about to have lunch with the coaching staff when he turned around and saw someone staring at him.

    He has a big head, a thick neck, a wide nose, an unkempt beard, and eyes as wide as bells

    With this bold appearance, you can tell he is Alonzo Mourning at a glance.

    Before Zhang Hao took the initiative to say hello, Alonzo Mourning said: "You are that high school rookie! You are good, but you are a little thinner. You need to gain some weight in the past two years, otherwise you will be in shape."

    ¡°It¡¯s a little different from Zhang Hao¡¯s impression of the unsmiling Mourning on the court. He¡¯s quitekind?

    That¡¯s right, being cold on the court does not mean being cold as a person. The character displayed on the court may just represent the attitude towards the game.

    Who would have thought that the future socialite who would give up early could be so funny on social media?

    Zhang Hao responded politely: "Hello, Mr. Mourning, I am Zhang Hao, and my English name is Aix. I will make plans in this regard. Have you just finished training?"

    "Sir, have I reached the time to be called sir Well By the way, you are only 18 years old. Fortunately, you didn't call me uncle. You look to be about the same age as my eldest nephew, who is only in the first grade of junior high school.  , are you really 18 years old?"

    After saying this, Mourning saw Zhang Hao's speechless face, quickly changed the topic, and said with a helpless expression: "Our team has a very strict coach, and the training volume is very heavy every day. Fortunately, today we have  game, otherwise we won¡¯t be able to leave the arena throughout the day"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He responded gracefully: "Hello, Mr. Mourning, I am Zhang Hao, and my English name is Aix. I will make plans in this regard. Have you just finished training?"

    "Sir, have I reached the time to be called sir Well By the way, you are only 18 years old. Fortunately, you didn't call me uncle. You look to be about the same age as my eldest nephew, who is only in the first grade of junior high school.  , are you really 18 years old?"

    After saying this, Mourning saw Zhang Hao's speechless face, quickly changed the topic, and said with a helpless expression: "Our team has a very strict coach, and the training volume is very heavy every day. Fortunately, today we have  game, otherwise we won¡¯t be able to leave the arena throughout the day"

 Chapter 87 87. The beginning of the iron-blooded era (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    His expression was helpless, but his tone sounded excited.

    Mourning was talking about Pat Riley.

    Pat Riley is a well-known high-pressure and dominant coach, a head coach who can train Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to retire early. When Mourning said that he could not leave the gym even on training days, the image suddenly appeared in Zhang Hao's mind.  .

    Under the hands of the fortune teller, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know if Moning¡¯s liver could bear it, but his kidneys couldn¡¯t bear it anyway.

    The British poet Sassoon once said: There is a tiger in your heart, and you can smell the roses.

    Under Mourning¡¯s rough appearance and stern court image, he is a rather sensitive person. It was almost noon and he saw Zhang Hao still wandering around alone

    "Aix, my girlfriend bought some steaks from Kobe this morning. Let's go to my house for lunch." Mourning put his arm around Zhang Hao's shoulders enthusiastically, and without any explanation, he took Zhang Hao to the parking lot and pulled him into the car.  Leave.

    ¡­¡­

    A beachfront villa in Miami is quite luxurious, with a market value of $6 million. Alonzo Mourning bought this villa after signing a five-year, $15 million endorsement contract with Nike.

    Mourning¡¯s girlfriend is Tracy, a very enthusiastic Hispanic female model.

    Lunch time is boring.

    After finishing lunch, Zhang Hao took the initiative to say goodbye: "Alonzo, Tracy, thank you for your hospitality. You don't need to see me off. I want to walk along the seaside. I will take a taxi back to the Beach Coast Arena in a while."

    After Mo Ning and his wife responded, they returned to the house.

    Tracy asked while clearing the table: "Alonzo, you seem to care about that child."

    "Don't you know who he is? The genius who scored 44 points in his debut."

    "Have you ever heard of it Oh, by the way, it was the game between the Nets and the Pistons that you watched that day It's just rare to see you being so enthusiastic about a rookie and even inviting him to our house for dinner."

    "I learned something recently. The coach asked me to have more contact with stars from other teams. You see, Olajuwon got two consecutive championships with the help of Drexler This kid looks pretty good. I know him.  It doesn¡¯t hurt to get acquainted.¡±

    "Can this kid fight? He looks too young."

    "I don't know" Speaking of this, Mourning recalled the period from meeting Zhang Hao to now, and said: "He was selected with the 9th overall pick and scored 44 points in his debut. I  I think it¡¯s okay, and besides, didn¡¯t he praise the delicious steak you cooked?¡±

    "Yes, this is a good kid, and I think he can play well."

    After a brief contact, Mourning learned some of Zhang Hao¡¯s personality traits.

    It can¡¯t be said that he is withdrawn, but he is definitely not enthusiastic and rather cold.

    He doesn't take the initiative when chatting. He talks more when it comes to topics of interest, such as Magic's comeback and Jordan's stable 30-33 points in the first 4 consecutive games He talks more about these interesting topics; he doesn't feel interested.  If you are interested in a topic, you will not stop talking, but it is obviously just a polite response.

    Combining Zhang Hao¡¯s performance and character at the beginning, Alonzo Mourning has reason to believe that this rookie can perform well!

    No one will be nice to anyone for no reason, and the same goes for Mourning. If he were a fringe member of the Nets, he would just see it and treat it as a passerby, because Zhang Hao was the hottest rookie at the beginning of the season.  He would only take the initiative after breaking Chamberlain's debut scoring record.

    Whether you are enthusiastic or not naturally depends on who the target is

    ¡­¡­

    At 6:15 in the evening, Zhang Hao and his teammates entered the court at the Beach Coast Arena.

    Running out of the player tunnel, Zhang Hao felt that the atmosphere at the scene was very dull. The Nets did not receive many boos, and when the Heat players came out, the cheers were not loud.

    Looking around, I saw that the game was about to start, and at least one-third of the seats were still vacant.

    "Boss Kenny, do you believe they sold out all the tickets?"

    "Their tickets have been selling very well. The Heat should be among the top five profitable teams in the past few years, otherwise they would not build a new arena. However, as before, a lot of people who buy tickets want to  In case you want to watch a game, you can come directly to the game to avoid being unable to buy tickets. Since they joined the NBA, they have been the team with the largest gap between ticket sales and attendance."

    "The fans of the Heat are really passionate and unrestrained. They are worthy of being a team in a seaside city But it would be better if there are fewer people. If we win, they will not cheer for us. If we lose, you will be even more embarrassed, boss."

    "Why am I embarrassed?"

    "You are the boss! Can't you bear the responsibility if you lose?"

    ""

    ?It's just seeking death. Pseudo zone defense does not have the real effect of zone defense, but it also has the same three-point defense loopholes as zone defense.

    It's not possible to reverse run and cut in to catch the ball and cause damage. Unlike the Trail Blazers, two of the three main insiders are mini insiders. Mourning squats under the basket and cannot come out. With his shot-blocking threat and extremely strong body  The key is not to defend for three seconds!

    Zhang Hao blocked 9 shots in the first three games and showed good frame protection ability, relying on his ability to squat under the basket and not come out.

    If there is a teammate who is good at off-ball pick-and-rolls at this time, Zhang Hao will be much easier to play. He misses Jason Williams a little bit on the sidelines, but Jason Williams does not have a mid-range shot, and Kenny Anderson is not good at it either.  Play the pick-and-roll.

    But if Jason Williams, a power forward with excellent pick-and-roll skills and top rebounding skills, could hit the mid-range shot, it would not be the price it is today.

    On Kenny Anderson's side, it doesn't mean that Zhang Hao can attract the opponent to change defense and Mourning guard the basket. He will have good passing opportunities and breakthrough opportunities. The Heat players have done a good job in interfering with the receiving line of players who directly cut in.  Well, when players with the ball on the outside break through, they will also encounter double attacks and pass interceptions.

    The most important thing is confrontation. In large confrontations, passing and even ball control will be greatly affected.

    Kenny Anderson found there was no chance and handed the ball to Almon Gilliam for a single.

    The Nets only have two players with advantages on the court. Graham has poor ball-handling ability. If he wants to play in isolation, he naturally looks for Almon Gilliam.

    ??Almon Gilliam, despite his rough appearance and bold personality, is really timid at times. After receiving the ball, he saw Zhang Hao stretching the baseline and immediately passed it over.

    Zhang Hao did not get rid of the opponent's pseudo-zone defense. When he saw the ball passed, a greeting was stuck in his throat, but he had no time to think about it. With his back to the basket, Mourning's defense immediately followed him. Zhang Hao received the ball and stepped forward.  Take a step out, turn around and bend your knees close to the three-point line in the corner, take off catch the ball, turn over and shoot a jump shot!

    The moment he took action, Zhang Hao was knocked down by Mourning, and the referee did not blow the whistle!  Fortunately, this time he turned over and made a jump shot!

    Holding the hand of Almon Gilliam who looked excited and standing up, Zhang Hao really wanted to slap him and throw the blame away!

    When playing the Raptors, Oliver Miller passed the blame, when playing the Trail Blazers, Sabonis passed the blame, and now when he meets Mourning, he still passes the blame!

    But it was a good shot, so Zhang Hao quickly ran back.

    Mourning glanced at Zhang Hao who was returning to defense, received Coles' serve, passed it back to Coles, and ran forward.

    The Heat's players on the court are not bad at athletic ability, but they did not counterattack, pressed the rhythm, and were pressed to death.

    Coles pressed the 8-second violation and advanced to the frontcourt.

    Seeing PJ Brown retreating to the basket, Zhang Hao was about to defend Kevin Willis, but was pulled by PJ Brown, and the two stood under the basket together.

    correct!  Kevin Willis is in trouble shooting!

    Zhang Hao did not expand further, waiting for Mourning to reach the basket, and took a step around to cut off Mourning's receiving route "Beep", the referee's whistle sounded.

    Zhang Hao looked at the referee, and the referee was actually pointing at him!

    "Hey, let me wipe"

    Just when I was about to curse, I saw the referee's gesture - early double attack violation!

    Watching P.J. Brown go behind Mourning and go around in front of him But it was a pure off-ball attack!

    If you don¡¯t move forward and stand under the basket with PJ Brown, even if you are close to Mourning, you will not form a double attack without the ball

    "The principle of catching the ball in the jungle is advantageous"

    Zhang Hao returned to the bottom of the basket in frustration. Although he did not defend for three seconds, it is more beneficial for the frame-protecting insider to prevent breakthroughs, but not allowing early flanking is more beneficial for the powerful singles insider.

    Zhang Hao was depressed, and the Heat players were even more depressed. They had just used up the 24-second attack time to only 10 seconds left, and were about to hand the ball to the boss for a single. Zhang Hao violated the defense, and the attack time had to be reset to 24 seconds.

    Pat Riley requires his players to play for at least 18 seconds per offense this season, and the Heat players themselves are not used to it yet.

    The ball was released and Coles wasted time again.

    The Heat players are not used to it, and the Nets players are even more uncomfortable!

    Last season was still in the fast-paced era. Although many teams have begun to press the pace this season, the season has just begun. The Nets, who do not have the capital to press the pace, are not deeply aware of the new trends in the league. Watching the Heat start to waste time again,  Dribbling outside the three-point line in 10 seconds

    Nets players are in a hurry!  I feel like I am scratching my head!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 88 88. Such a slap on the back (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    Although they also encountered fierce defense against the Trail Blazers, the overall rhythm of the Trail Blazers was normal, while the Heat's situation has reached an abnormal level.

    Finally, Coles spent 14 seconds. With 10 seconds left in the attack time, Mourning entered the three-second zone, leaning on Zhang Hao. Coles lobbed the ball to Mourning, who was leaning on Zhang Hao under the basket.

    The confrontation Mourning felt when relying on Zhang Hao surprised him. It was not the kind that flew away at the first touch. PJ Brown double-teamed Mourning as soon as he received the ball.

    Facing a double attack between two people, Mourning did not distribute the ball. Before the double attack between P.J. Brown and Zhang Hao was about to form, he seized the time difference and the opponent's footsteps, held the ball with both hands, turned around between the two, raised the ball, and hooked  hand¡­¡­

    The confrontation when Mourning turned around forced Zhang Hao and PJ Brown to fight hard. They failed to take off, and Mourning did not take off either. He stood on tiptoe and hooked, but Mourning's 229-centimeter wingspan gave him the advantage!

    The hook hit!

    Whether it is the choice of shot method or the basic skills of turning + hook, they are all very beautiful.

    And this style of play does not consume much physical strength. It relies on arm span and static strength without deliberately using explosive power.

    "How about looking for Mourning if you have the opportunity to learn from a center?"

    Zhang Hao flashed this thought, put it aside and quickly ran towards the frontcourt.

    PJ Brown¡¯s serve and Kenny Anderson¡¯s return of serve also advanced very quickly.

    Zhang Hao, Graham, and Kenny Anderson started a fast break, trying to defeat the Heat, whose foothold was not stable.

    However, as soon as Kenny Anderson passed the midline, he encountered a half-court pressing defense.

    The opponent completely looked down on Graham's shooting ability. Kevin Willis retreated to the basket, and there was nothing Graham could do.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao entered the three-point line and was bypassed by Mourning. After entering the inside, Mourning immediately let go of Zhang Hao, and Owens interfered with Zhang Hao's receiving route.

    And it¡¯s full of confrontation!

    The entire three-point line seems to be full of elbows flying.

    The Heat used a very good defense to block the Nets' transitional play. It can be seen how crazy Pat Riley's training was. As soon as he came to the Heat, he adjusted the entire defense of the Heat.  .

    This time Kenny Anderson chose to play alone, but the three-pointer was tightly blocked, there was help in the mid-range, and Mourning returned to the basket

    "Brother, I'm sorry!"

    Seeing that Zhang Hao still couldn¡¯t get out of the gap, Almon Gilliam and Graham were worried about long-range shots, and Kenny Anderson could only choose to pass the blame

    When Zhang Hao received the ball, he was pushed by Owens who was chasing him from behind. Owens' defensive awareness is really good. At a vague point in time whether to commit a foul, it can be regarded as a reasonable confrontation or a collision foul, but this is  The Heat were at home and the referee didn't blow the whistle!

    Zhang Hao stabilized his body when he was hit, and lost the opportunity to catch the ball and step out to turn over for a jump shot, but he could only forcefully turn over for a jump shot The rhythm was not there, and the shot was crooked!

    ??In transition between offense and defense, the Heat attack and continue to press the pace.

    Zhang Hao signaled PJ Brown to start driving, and he defended himself. The latter did not refuse. He knew that Zhang Hao wanted to try to go around.

    Coles advanced through the half and pressed the rhythm, and continued to press the rhythm from the center line to the three-point line. When he reached the three-point line, Mourning entered the three-second zone and relied on Zhang Hao to ask for the ball.

    Zhang Hao stuck up, ready to bypass Mourning to interfere.

    ??Defending around the front is not simple. It requires a good sense of judgment on the movement of the ball, and the ability to fight against the gap is not huge.

    Mourning felt in the last round that Zhang Hao is different from ordinary bamboo pole insiders. Although he has a strong strength advantage, it is not a huge difference in strength. Normally, the ball is likely to be intercepted by the opponent.  There is enough power to fight and bypass.

    Feeling the direction of the force behind him, Mourning raised his hands and took the initiative to turn around and get close to the baseline. Coles quickly lobbed the ball to Mourning. Mourning took a step outside the left side of the three-second zone and shot a close jump shot

    The defense failed!

    Fortunately, I didn¡¯t get in!  Zhang Hao quickly collected the defensive rebound.

    Mourning pressed up after taking the shot. He turned around to catch the ball and shot too hastily, and the shot felt crooked. He originally wanted to rush for the ball, but Zhang Hao reacted quickly. Mourning pressed in and used his body to block Zhang Hao from passing the ball to Kenny.  -Andersen comes down quickly.

    The Heat's full-court press pressed the rhythm!

    The Heat did not try to steal, they did not counterattack, but tried to use pressure to create mistakes. Stealing is not the optimal solution for defense. Pressure and defense to create mistakes is much safer.But this position, one step closer to the inside, is just one step away from the free throw line

    "84 strength, 97 kg weight, 206 cm tallbeat him!"

    Just do it if you think of it!

    Ever since, everyone watched Zhang Hao step by step from the baseline to the free throw line, knocking Kurt Thomas into the edge of the three-second zone

    Zhang Hao has been paying attention to whether there is anyone coming to flank him. He is frightened. When he reaches this area, Zhang Hao immediately turns over and shoots a jump shot

    "The King of Turnover Jumpers (Bronze) is triggered. Specially contracted player Zhang Hao's turnover jumper has +1 strength and +1 bounce this time, ignoring the impact of the turnover on shooting"

    Very lucky!  The bonuses to strength and bounce are minimal, and it's difficult to even affect Zhang Hao's shooting feeling. It doesn't require much adaptation, but there is a 10% probability of triggering it to ignore the impact of turning over on shooting, which is very easy to use!

    Perfect shooting feeling, scored!

 Chapter 89 89. Coming from behind (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    ? A close-range jump shot from the free throw line that was crushed from behind to the sideline of the three-second zone

    If it weren't for Jason Williams on the other side of the three-second zone and Almon Gilliam in the middle from the free throw line to the baseline, leaving Owens and Mourning on the other side of the three-second zone, this would have to be done from  The rhythm from back to the free throw line to layup?

    The fans at the scene looked at Kurt Thomas's body shape. Although he was similar to Zhang Hao, the black muscle lines were more obvious and he looked stronger than Zhang Hao. The key was that Pat Riley had been praising Kurt Thomas in the preseason.  Defensive talent turned out to be so weak?

    But just as the Nets' defensive success in the last round was surprising, Zhang Hao's Barkley and Mark Jackson-style post-up play also surprised others.

    Feeling the weird looks from other people on the field, Kurt Thomas really wanted to explain¡ªit¡¯s not that I¡¯m weak, it¡¯s that this guy¡¯s power is too abnormal!

    It¡¯s not that Zhang Hao¡¯s strength is really extremely strong. Of course, he is certainly strong enough to deal with Kurt Thomas. It¡¯s just that in terms of size, Zhang Hao¡¯s strength is too exaggerated.

    Seeing that Mourning had already picked up the ball and sent it out, and the high school student in the same class and position on the opposite side beat him with his back and retreated expressionlessly, Kurt Thomas could only follow and run towards the frontcourt How sad!

    The Heat still pressed the pace and Mourning played in singles.

    Once again, Mourning faced a four-man attack as soon as he received the ball, and this time the Nets were more confident. The receiving route of Kurt Thomas, who had a certain mid-range shooting ability, was interfered with.

    Wanting to pass back to Coles, Kenny Anderson uses his speed to go around and follow closely. Keith Askins is a defensive player. Edwards defends Keith Askins just like Lake before.  Chapman completely ignored him like he was defending Graham. This was the only teammate who was mentally prepared for Mourning to pass the ball accurately.

    Mourning chose a forced hook that was unable to make a complete power move

    "ßÑ"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The ball hit the left side of the basket, Zhang Hao collected the defensive rebound!

    With this formation, don¡¯t even think about fast breaks. Zhang Hao protects the ball and waits for Edwards to come around and respond.

    During the transition between offense and defense, Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt and saw Zhang Hao opening up space on the left baseline again, signaling Zhang Hao to catch the ball.

    This position, the distance from the free throw line

    Zhang Hao wanted to send this greeting to his boss, but he roared in his heart - I, Zhang Hao, am not the Barkley type!  no!

    There was a trace of helplessness on his expression, but his body was honest. Zhang Hao immediately took a step forward and leaned tightly against Kurt Thomas.

    It is not allowed to double-team in advance, which is quite beneficial for the receiving players and can better create a singles environment.

    Zhang Hao received the ball and raised his butt to hit it!

    Seeing that Kurt Thomas tried his best to suck the milk but could not hold it again, the Heat players began to move defensively. Because Kurt Thomas lowered his center of gravity, Zhang Hao had a good vision and saw Mourning approaching.  As for his tendency to move, Zhang Hao continued to rely on beating.

    It¡¯s so cool to not have your back for five seconds!

    When Zhang Hao rolled over Kurt Thomas and approached the three-second zone, Mourning had already moved to the left edge of the three-second zone. Zhang Hao got up and scored the ball!

    Keith Askins from the outside has already been taken in, and Zhang Hao¡¯s target is Edwards, who is running towards the top arc!

    Edwards received the ball from the player and immediately threw it to the right side of the basket. Jason Williams took a step into the right side of the three-second zone, jumped high, and pushed the ball into the basket with one hand!

    15 to 11, the Nets lead by 4 points!

    Zhang Hao's shot was eye-catching. He did not take the risk of lobbing the ball directly from Mourning's long arms. Instead, he saw the time difference between Keith Askins shrinking the attack and other Heat players covering Edwards.  and gaps for high and low passes.

    "Alvan, have you seen it? Aix's awareness of coordination is so good, and it's because of your good teaching that he has the awareness to observe the third point so quickly"

    Butch Baird was very excited and talked to Alvan Adams about how good Zhang Hao was at splitting the ball, and kept praising this contemporary player.

    "But Butch Baird is more excited about Zhang Hao's awareness. This kind of thing is talent and cannot be learned, otherwise the NBA will be dissatisfied with the support experts on the street.

    On the other side, Pat Riley squatted on the sidelines and loudly ordered his players, which probably meant - play as a team and attack from the outside.

    I am not afraid that the Nets will hear it, because as long as the outside line starts playing singles, the Nets will definitely not shrink.

    Coles handed the ball to Owens, then pulled away and Owens singled.

    But as soon as Owens received the ball, he was flanked by Edwards and Almon Gilliam.

    &nbspAccording to the movement, they immediately flanked and attacked. At this time, Coles and Keith Askins were not ready to pick and roll without the ball!

    Owens tried to lift the ball, but Edwards intercepted it!

    Without hesitation, Edwards immediately approached Kenny Anderson and passed the news without hesitation.

    The Heat's defensive discipline is really good. They practice all day long on days when there are no games. The practice is not in vain. Coles, Keith Askins, and Owens quickly retreated.

    But someone rushed out from the inside quickly, and Owens, one of the three Heat players who exited the three-point line first, was passed first!

    When Owens was passed, Kenny Anderson, who started the fast break first, was also passed!  Because Owens was interfering with Kenny Anderson's start when he retreated!

    Being closer to the opposite basket than his four teammates, a line of words flashed before Zhang Hao's eyes: "Ride alone (gold) trigger"

    The moment this line appeared, Zhang Hao¡¯s speed increased dramatically!

    Coles and Keith Askins are both very fast defenders. They saw Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao counterattack with a double counterattack. Owens judged that Kenny Anderson was close to the counterattack line.  , the two of them were preparing to pinch Zhang Hao at the midline or three-point line. They just ran past the midline and turned aroundthe No. 8 jersey came towards them!

    He rushed directly between the two of them!

    what's the situation?

    The two of them quickly increased their speed to the fastest speed and chased after Zhang Hao but failed to catch up!

    After Zhang Hao surpassed two people, he "rided alone" and triggered full power!

    When he rushed to the free throw line, the ball came as expected.

    Zhang Hao took two steps forward and caught the lob from Kenny Anderson. He jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!

    "The Dunk Master (Bronze) is triggered, and the morale of Zhang Hao's Nets team will be greatly improved in the next three rounds"

    ¡°Ride Alone¡± and ¡°Dunk Master¡± are a perfect match!  As long as he, Zhang, seizes such a counterattack opportunity, he can trigger these two skills in conjunction!

    Regardless of whether the final dunk was a powerful dunk or not, the counterattack itself was powerful enough!

    19 to 13, the score difference came to 6 points!

    Seeing that there was not much time left in the first quarter, the Heat players were anxious. They wanted to catch up with the score before the end of the first quarter.

    Keith Askins served quickly, and Coles' pace of advancement became faster, returning to the style of play last season.

    Not only the speed of the two of them has increased, but the speed of the entire Heat team has also increased. They are not pressing the rhythm and attacking in a hurry.

    It is indeed easy to create opportunities for passing and receiving in transition between offense and defense. As the speed increases, the movement of the defensive side needs to accept a greater test.

    Mourning successfully caught the ball when he cut in. When he saw Jason Williams under the basket, he jumped directly towards Jason Williams!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????

    It must be buckled!

    Only then can the current low morale be lifted up again.

    Just when Mourning forced Jason Williams to hit the ball towards the basket, and Jason Williams was about to shout "crush", a slender arm appeared in the sight of the two of them and smacked the ball.  On the ball!

    Two forces were exerted on the ball, and the ball that was dunked was crooked, and bounced up when it hit the basket!

    Kurt Thomas saw Edwards was a little far away from where the ball landed, so he chose to retreat directly.

    Sure enough, the Nets have another double fast break!

    Kurt Thomas retreated directly to the basket. Kenny Anderson was not hindered this time and was the first to rush through the half court, attracting the double defense of Coles and Keith Askins.  There is no big center, just a rookie power forward. If the outside line can't stop Kenny Anderson in one-on-one situations.

    Kenny Anderson seized the opportunity to distribute the ball, Zhang Hao entered the three-point line to receive the ball, and took a long two-point shot

    Owens, who was catching up, could only watch as Zhang Hao easily caught the ball and made a basket!

    21 to 13, the Nets¡¯ lead expanded to 8 points!

    Pat Riley on the sidelines couldn't help but imitate his students and started tossing around his Armani suit!

    What he wanted to do was to continue to strengthen the defense in the second half of the first quarter. Keith Askins scored 201 centimeters, Owens scored 201 centimeters, and Kurt Thomas scored 206 centimeters. These three people could do more to defend Zhang Hao than in the first half.  good,

    On the offensive end, Mourning relied on Mourning's inside control to create opportunities for Kurt Thomas, a rookie with mid-range shooting ability.

    Although the idea is simple, in Pat Riley's view, it is enough to deal with the Nets.

    But I didn¡¯t expect it to be a complete mistake!

    Pat Riley looked at the bench opposite. One was wearing glasses and smiling and looked like a good old guy, while the other had a stern face that was difficult to get along with at first sight - "I thought these two guys had no ability, but I made a mistake  "

 Chapter 90 90. Let¡¯s start rushing!  (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    When Zhang Hao made the mid-range shot, there were 58 seconds left in the first quarter.

    The Heat have become impatient and their defense is very rude. Although the Nets are not as good at defending as the other team, they can still be rough.

    Neither team scored in the last 58 seconds.

    After the first quarter, the Nets led the Heat by 8 points 21-13!

    Zhang Hao played the first quarter and scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in a single quarter!

    His post-up play left a very deep impression on everyone who saw it, but in fact, he only scored two points on the post-up play.

    But this does not affect the threat he poses.

    When he returned to the bench and sat down, Zhang Hao felt that he had already mastered the few things he knew.

    ???????????????????????????? But those few rounds of back-fighting were not really tiring, and this move is indeed very useful.

    "But just to deal with that guy, it may not be as easy to use someone with experience. He can be used more when playing on the outside Who should the center look for for learning opportunities? This is equivalent to 90 destiny!"

    Sitting on the bench to rest, Zhang Hao couldn't help but think about who to learn from.

    "It doesn't necessarily work if you find someone to teach you. It doesn't work if the tiger's body is shaken and its domineering side leaks"

    Concentrating his attention on the court, he was replaced and rested.

    Although I feel that I can continue to play, the game is still long and I have to learn to allocate my energy well.

    The combination of Childs, Vaughan Fleming, Almon Gilliam, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown started the second quarter.

    The Heat sent a combination of Kevin Jamber, Rex Chapman, Pete Meyers, Kurt Thomas, and Kevin Willis.

    After the second quarter of the game started, Zhang Hao obviously discovered a problem - the rotation lineup of the Heat is not better than their Nets team!

    A more accurate feeling is that Childs was full of energy only in the second quarter, and Almon Gilliam played the entire first quarter but did not consume much in singles. The Heat's rotation is not as good as the Nets!

    Comparing the rotation lineup of the Trail Blazers, who have a similar record in the Western Conference, and thinking about the other players besides the six main players of the Hornets and the retired Bogues that I saw in the preseason Zhang Hao's eyes lit up!

    "When we play against the Bulls, Pacers, Magic, and Cavaliers, which are four teams that have a high probability of winning at least 50 games, we seem to have a big gap in strength. But for these teams in the bottom half of the playoffs, it's not like we don't have it.  Chance.

    This is thanks to the future draft talent. From 1991 to 1993, he sent many stars to the Western Conference"

    Zhang Hao's teammates on the court clearly took the initiative after Mourning and Owens went to rest. Although the opponent retained two starters, Rex Chapman and Kevin Willis, the Heat failed to  After taking the lead in the first quarter, it can be seen that the Heat's mentality was about to collapse in the last two minutes of the first quarter. During the timeout just now, the opponent's magician kept nagging, and the Heat's defensive end regained discipline.  , but the Heat have no advantage in the lineup and the Nets have higher morale.

    With Childs on the court, Jason Williams' pick-and-roll ability came into play, creating a good opportunity for Almon Gilliam to go to the basket.

    Without Mourning, Almon Gilliam can do it again.

    Although the Nets failed to widen the point difference, the Heat also had no chance to narrow the point difference.

    "We have 54 games a season against Eastern Conference teams. Looking at it this way, except for the top five teams, as long as the other Eastern Conference playoff teams survive the main stage, we have a chance to win"

    Zhang Hao was in a happy mood, but he knew not to be careless or impatient. The players on the field were not in a hurry and just spent their time like this.

    At 6 minutes and 33 seconds of the second quarter, the Nets made the score 32-21 and went on an 11-8 run. The lead expanded to 11 points. The Heat replaced Mourning and Coles.

    But the Nets did not replace the starters during the rotation. They replaced Jason Williams and Robert Wodan in the interior. Jason Williams came up to ensure rebounds, and Robert Wodan  Go and fight with Mourning. This muscular man worth 230,000 US dollars finally has a use.

    If there is no lead, Randy Whitman, who is determined to win, will not replace Robert Wodan, but isn't there an 11-point lead? First, consume a wave of Mourning and create opportunities for the main force.

    The defensive effect was average. Mourning played 4 times in 3 minutes, made 2 of 3 shots, got two free throws, made both free throws, and scored 6 points. The Heat scored 9 points in these 3 minutes.  5. This time it¡¯s the Nets¡¯ turn to call a timeout!

    37 to 30, the lead is still 7 points.

    With 2 minutes and 27 seconds left in the second quarter, Randy Whitman, who is nearly two meters tall, waved his hand, and Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Vaughan Fleming, and Zhang Hao, stood up, threw and shot scored easily!

    Without Mourning under the basket, Kevin Willis is no longer there, and Kenny Anderson is playing so comfortably.

    The Heat's lineup arrangement and defensive mobility are very good, but it is not suitable for dealing with the Nets.

    Pat Riley¡¯s purpose is not to strengthen defense, but to strengthen offense!

    When the Heat attacked, Kurt Thomas made another mid-range shot after receiving the ball!

    This did not affect the Nets' style of play. Zhang Hao and P.J. Brown still chose to try their best to consume Mourning on the defensive end. On the offensive end, Zhang Hao continued to run with Mourning. Who met Kenny Anderson and Edwards on the outside?  Whoever Rex Chapman defends gets a single.

    After several rounds, the point difference was not narrowed by the Heat, but was also opened up by three points by the Nets, because Kenny Anderson made a single shot from outside the three-point line!  58 to 42, the point difference was widened to 16 points!

    When the Heat were on offense, Rex Chapman hit a three-pointer after catching the ball. Mourning tried his best to score the ball in isolation and try to open the offense from the inside, and it finally worked.

    It was the Nets' turn to attack again. Mourning chose to squat under the basket. He extended out to defend Zhang Hao. He did directly block Zhang Hao's back attack, but gave the opponent a good opportunity to break through the basket.

    Kurt Thomas is really unstoppable!  Needs more meat and more competition experience.

    Kurt Thomas, who had just scored 4 points and 1 assist and performed well on the offensive end, returned to the power forward position to guard Zhang Hao. Then, he wanted to curse!

    "Can I have something new? Why is it still the same trick!"

    When Zhang Hao saw that Kurt Thomas was guarding him, he immediately went to the bottom line on the left side of the three-second zone and was close to the free throw line.

    Why not just go to the basket and post up?

    When you catch the ball and are flanked by Mourning, how can you play? At this distance, there is enough space and good vision, so it is more advantageous to distribute the ball!

    Maybe he wanted to see if Zhang Hao's first shot in the second half was still feeling good. The Heat didn't double-attack, so Zhang Hao hit a close jumper from the left side of the three-second zone!

    "The King of Turnover Jumpers (Bronze)" is triggered again!

    Zhang Hao also discovered that maybe because the movements are more complete, the probability of triggering the "King of Turnover Jumpers" with a back-up jump shot is higher than that with a catch-and-turn jump shot!

    This means that catching the ball, turning over and shooting jump shots still need to be further improved.

    Zhang Hao is still not satisfied with himself even though he scored a goal. The Heat have been having trouble playing from the second half of the first quarter until now, and now their mentality is about to explode!

    When the Heat attacked, Mourning was flanked when he touched the ball again. He was annoyed. Instead of passing the ball, he forcibly knocked away the hanging PJ Brown and dunked

    The referee blew the whistle continuously and made a boxing action - hitting someone with the ball!

    The shoulder-sinking action was too obvious. Even at the Heat's home court, the ball had to be blown.

    When the Heat attacked, Zhang Hao continued to sit and play. The pace seemed even slower than that of the Heat. Mourning seized the opportunity to make up for it. This time, he did not attack in advance, but wanted to catch Zhang Hao when he shot.  Cover.

    Zhang Hao increased the arc of his shot but still missed. PJ Brown made a tip-in before Kurt Thomas moved into position!

    60 to 45, the score difference came to 15 points!

    The Heat called a timeout!

    After the timeout, both teams made adjustments.

    When things are in a favorable situation, the thinking is always clearer. Randy Whitman has a clear goal and follows the plan during the halftime break, sending out Kenny Anderson, Childs, Zhang Hao, and Jason  -The combination of Williams and PJ Brown.

    For the Heat, Pat Riley replaced Rex Chapman with Keith Askins, whose positive effect in the past few minutes was far less than the negative effect he brought;  Leith replaced Kurt Thomas.

    Strengthen the defense of the penalty area and the defensive coverage in the mid-range.

    And this resulted in the Heat's offensive level suddenly plummeting!

    Coles' mid-range pull-up jump shot in singles was blocked by PJ Brown's defense, but it was thanks to Mourning's tough tip-in.

    After Mourning tipped the ball in, Jason Williams immediately picked up the ball and sent it out.

    Mourning immediately wanted to stop Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao was already about to fall!

    Mourning started to chase hard but couldn't catch up!

    Not only could he not catch up, but Keith Askins, who retreated first and rushed to the center line first, turned around and saw Zhang Hao quickly shortening the distance between them!

    Keith Askins quickly ran back at full speed. With such a huge distance advantage, he was not surpassed by Zhang Hao. However, after retreating to the basket, he saw Zhang Hao receiving a long pass at the free throw line and rushing in to take off.  St. Askins raised his head, and his eyesight went dark

    "Who am I? Where am I? Why am I standing here?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.

 Chapter 91 91. There can be no problem with my kidneys!  (Please vote for 8,000 words today!)

    Zhang Hao¡¯s concentration in playing the game is what makes him different from ordinary people.

    A player with his level of concentration is rare!

    Just now, he blocked Kevin Willis. He thought Jason Williams could protect the rebound. However, when Jason Williams failed to protect the ball, Zhang Hao immediately observed what was happening on the court.  Positioned and found a counterattack route.

    The Heat's pursuit of defense is just a waste of energy. The Nets sent two point guards here just to ensure a smooth ball.

    It¡¯s great if Kenny Anderson can catch the ball and start a counterattack directly. If he can¡¯t catch the ball, the inside can also serve or grab the rebound to Childs first, without delaying Kenny Anderson¡¯s speed to drive the counterattack.

    And the most reassuring thing for the Nets is Zhang Hao!

    When Zhang Hao rushed up, the Heat were forced to retreat faster and spend more energy on controlling the rhythm.

    ¡°In the final analysis, their players have just begun to learn Pat Riley¡¯s rhythm-pressing style of play. They look a bit like the Iron-Blooded Era, but it¡¯s just hard training all day long that makes them look a little bit like that.

    When they focused on pressing the rhythm, they played more hastily on the offensive end. They had to press the rhythm and ensure the success rate, which was not something they could do.

    The key point is that they are lagging behind and they are thinking about how to chase points, which makes them unable to concentrate on one thing - making their opponents unable to score.

    As for the Nets, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If they have a goal, they will go for it with all their strength. Now their goal is to find opportunities for Zhang Hao to rush up and play more freely.

    The opportunity to counterattack is not always available, but regardless of whether there is a chance to counterattack, Zhang Hao will charge and consume the opponent.

    At 6 minutes and 55 seconds of the third quarter, the score difference reached 18 points, which was not much wider, but Pat Riley took the initiative to call a timeout again.

    Pat Riley feels that the Heat will have to answer in this game.

    Unless the outside feels so good that it explodes, if this continues, the Heat will lose.

    Mourning is the cornerstone of the team, ensuring that the lower limit of the team's strength is not bad, but it is difficult for a center to reverse the situation of the game. It is possible for a center like Olajuwon who can break out of the low post and have other skills like a small forward.  Mourning doesn't have the ability in this area.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Really unexpected!  Pat Riley really didn't expect this group of people on the Nets to be able to perform like this.

    Because even if this group of people is playing so well, Pat Riley still doesn't think that except for those three or five players, the rest of the Nets will have the opportunity to play in the NBA for too long.

    But it was this group of people who performed in a way that he couldn't solve!

    Overall, Pat Riley feels the problem still lies with themselves.

    "But Pat Riley did not choose to use some strange tricks, such as changing formations and suddenly switching to the mid-to-late 1980s style of play, crazy speed He did not, but continued to emphasize defense during the timeout.

    On the offensive end, he made adjustments and found ways, but they were all based on pressing the rhythm.

    But such an adjustment was not effective. Ever since they failed to create a lead through defense in the first quarter, the Heat have been in a passive state.

    Pat Riley doesn¡¯t know that their lineup is actually not that suitable for playing like this?

    Of course not, what he wants is to change the team's discipline and ensure the continuity of defense under any circumstances.

    He knows that they will definitely not be able to beat the top teams at the moment, and they will not be able to defeat the weak teams if they break out.

    But his goal is not the present, but the future. No matter how he plays, he knows that they cannot go too far in the playoffs.

    Therefore, what he wants is to change this team and make it more adaptable to the new era of shortened three-point lines.

    ¡­¡­

    Pat Riley constantly emphasizes defense, and the effect is actually very obvious. Every time, the Nets can score a break, but the Heat's own offense has no continuity.

    Since the second half of the first quarter, the Nets have been slowly widening the point difference.

    At 3 minutes and 37 seconds of the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao dragged his heavy steps, stuck out his butt, and rolled Owens, who was guarding him, to the left side of the three-second area and hit the board for a throw. He couldn't turn over. Fortunately, this ball was lucky.  Yes, it hit the backboard, bounced to the basket, spun around and fell into the frame!

    Finally, with Zhang Hao¡¯s goal, the Nets tied the score at 79 to 58, extending their lead to 21 points!

    Pat Riley called a timeout.

    "Sure enough, if the lineup is not good, all ideas are in vain"

    Pat Riley pursed his lips, replaced the main lineup, and surrendered!

    ?Mo Ning was not dissatisfied with this answer. He just wanted to get acquainted with Zhang Hao. It didn't matter whether he drank or not. He had already achieved his goal by making an appointment to drink next time.

    But for Zhang Hao¡¯s last words Mourning bulged his biceps with both hands and said, "With my strong body, there is no way my kidneys will have problems!"

    ""

    If you say you go to bed at 11 o'clock, you really mean you go to bed at 11 o'clock.

    After the physical therapy, I returned to the hotel and took a shower. It was almost 11 o'clock, and Zhang Hao went straight to bed.

    At the first second of the next day, Zhang Hao woke up and turned on the review mode. His lifespan was suddenly reduced by 3 days in total, and his remaining lifespan became 425 days.

    The replay of this game is relatively simple, because the opponent doesn¡¯t have much change in their playing style and just keeps the pace down.

    If the Nets fail to open up the game in the first quarter and are completely outplayed by the opponent, then it will be their Nets who will be beaten later.

    From the core purpose of the rhythm-pressing play, it is to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm and consume the opponent's touch through confrontation.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s review focused on his post-up singles.

    He has never practiced this in actual training, he just memorized the movements in simulated training.

    The power forwards I met in the previous few games were relatively strong, at least with enough tonnage or having played for several years. Zhang Hao never tried it. This time it was purely Almon Gilliam who passed the blame. Then, he Zhang Hao  Saw a new world

    ??Can¡¯t help but go to the training room to practice more back shots. After practicing, Zhang Hao returned to the small living room and sat down, meditating

    "Did I make something wrong? When practicing catch-and-turn jump shots, shouldn't I just focus on catch-and-turn jump shots? I need to have more opportunities to become familiar with turn-over jump shots in games, such as beating the future dirty player.  Did you do that when you were dirty with Kurt? So you can get better used to turning over and shooting jump shots?"

    When I thought of it, I gave it a try. I had already started to practice mid-range shooting. The original direction of developing new technologies around mid-range shooting was to turn over and jump. I just adjusted the order.

    On the morning of November 9th, the NBA officially announced the player of the week for the first game week, which was won by Anfernee Hardaway, who led the Magic to a 4-0 victory.

    In 4 games, Anfernee Hardaway averaged 30.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block per game.

    It is worth mentioning that O'Neal is still injured since the start of the game and is expected to return as early as early December.

    The most important thing is that the Magic, when O'Neal was away, the Magic defeated the Bulls among their opponents!  That night, Anfernee Hardaway scored 36 points and Jordan scored 20 points on 8-for-23 shooting.

    After this start, the local media in Orlando began to promote a point of view-Anfernee Hardaway is currently the best player in the world.

    The reason is very good. Jordan has Pippen and Rodman beside him, and he started with 3 wins and 1 loss.

    Olajuwon and Drexler started the game with 3 wins and 1 loss.

    Anfernee Hardaway has a better record without O'Neal.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    But the focus of this news is still in Orlando.

    The news across the country, except for the long and smelly soap opera "Magic's Comeback", is undoubtedly the matter of Wake Forest University star Tim Duncan.

    As of the afternoon of November 8th, Duncan has only played two games in the new NCAA season, and the theory of "Duncan is the strongest genius" has popped up again.

    In the first game against Duke University, Duncan scored 39 points, 13 rebounds and 6 blocks, single-handedly leading the Demon Deacons' weak teammates to an upset victory over the Blue Devils.

    In the second game against North Carolina, Duncan scored 28 points, 16 rebounds, 5 blocks and 6 assists. Once again, he single-handedly led the team to an upset and defeated the Wolfpack.

    The two top players in the ACC were beaten by Duncan at the beginning of the new season.

    Why is Duncan University¡¯s performance in the first two years so recognized?  Because his university is in a league that includes Duke and North Carolina, and every year he breaks the ACC's historical records, and most of the records that are broken belong to these two universities.

    Some media broke the news that the Celtics were trying to get rid of Beau Duncan, and this idea was proposed by Cardinal Auerbach.

    So, the media blocked the cardinal¡¯s door last night. Auerbach didn¡¯t know how the news got out, but he couldn¡¯t deny it.

    Facing the media¡¯s questioning, Auerbach could only answer: ¡°Who doesn¡¯t want Duncan?¡±

    As soon as this answer came out, Duncan¡¯s reputation grew even higher!

    The logo man, the Cardinal, the greatest leaders of the two greatest teams in NBA history, all took a fancy to Duncan, and Duncan's already strong call for the top pick became even more intense.

 Chapter 92 92. The dissatisfied boy (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    The morning after playing against the Heat, while Zhang Hao was reading and studying, he also saw news about Duncan. The popularity was like a contemporary Oden!

    Just watching the logo man and the cardinal praise Duncan together, Zhang Hao always felt that something was wrong.

    The Cardinals seemed to really want to draft Duncan. He remembered that the Cardinals also helped the Celtics formulate a plan to build a team around Duncan. However, they did not get the No. 1 pick, but were awarded 5 games more wins.  The Spurs got it, and all the planning was in vain.

    But the logo man, isn¡¯t O¡¯Neal the target?

    Sign O'Neal and trade for Duncan with the No. 1 pick?  This operation

    But it doesn¡¯t look like it!

    And Zhang Hao¡¯s memory does not contain this incident.

    At 10 o'clock in the morning, we flew with the team to Atlanta, the city where the next away game was held.

    At 5:08 in the evening, Zhang Hao received the reminder.

    ¡°In the Hoyas¡¯ match against the Irish Warriors, contracted player Wang Zhizhi played 21 minutes on behalf of the Hoyas and scored 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, helping the Hoyas win the game.

    Congratulations to the host for gaining a total life span of 4 days.

    The remaining life is 429 days and the usable life is 428 days.  "

    ¡°Well done!¡±

    Zhang Hao immediately became happy. Not only did he get 4 days of life, but he also defeated his opponent Georgetown University.

    Zhang Hao had an impression of the University of Notre Dame. It was one of the universities he applied to. Last year, he passed the NCAA review and entered the first-level league and joined the Big East League. At that time, he cast a wide net. This kind of team, which has difficulty recruiting talents, was also his.  One of the goals, but there was no response until he played in the Adidas Training Camp Classic.

    Although the past is like a blur, Zhang Hao was happy to see the University of Notre Dame being beaten!

    ¡­¡­

    "Iverson is really strong. Even the zone defense can't stop his breakthrough. He is also very accurate in the mid-range shot. I wonder if you have a big brother who can be accurate."

    "Our coach started to arrange for me to lose fat. By the way, someone scolded me a while ago. I couldn't help but have a fight with him. I thought I would be punished. As a result, our coach reported it to the school and the guy was punished.  Already"

    "Iverson asked me to go to his apartment later. I know he wanted me to drink secretly. Should I go?"

    "On the 6th, the Knicks came to play the Bullets, and Ewing came. He praised my shooting talent and said I had a chance to enter the NBA"

    Listening to Wang Zhizhi's words, Zhang Hao couldn't help but said: "You should practice your English well before entering the NBA."

    A heart-piercing knife!

    In the evening, after going out for dinner with Kenny Anderson, Vaughn Fleming and others, Zhang Hao received a call from Wang Zhizhi. It seemed that the call was made at a public phone booth. From the moment the call was connected, Wang Zhizhi was talking to him.  team-related matters.

    Maybe it¡¯s because communication wasn¡¯t smooth and he couldn¡¯t say everything to the media. Zhang Hao, a senior who came to the American basketball world earlier, became the target of Wang Zhizhi¡¯s confidants.

    Wang Zhizhi feels very miserable. He has never studied much. When he was 18 years old, he was suddenly asked to start learning English It's hard for him next door No, he lives in school, and the next door is also a man It's hard for Lao Wang!

    However, after a few months, his English has improved. He can no longer use professional basketball terminology. He can also communicate with some of the most basic things, such as buying things, asking for directions, etc., but chatting is still difficult.

    The most embarrassing thing is that the seniors from the school team came back to praise him, and he had to have a translator standing next to him.

    After chatting for a few words, Zhang Hao ended the phone call with Wang Zhizhi.

    "Why has Dazhi become a little childish since he started studying? There seems to be nothing wrong. He is only 18 years old. When I encounter things, I occasionally have big mood swings because of the memories of this era. Although he used to be a soldier,  But after all, he is still an 18-year-old young man."

    After packing up his things, Zhang Hao went to the hotel¡¯s indoor basketball court for training.

    Atlanta is really a good place with a good living environment. The city is built on the Appalachian Mountains. It is one of the gathering places for the world's richest people. The number of billionaires ranks among the top five in the United States. The living conditions for tourism are quite good. Nets  The hotel where the team stayed had an indoor basketball court.

    After moving his body, Zhang Hao began to actually train the back turn jump shot.

    It¡¯s a very simple training for turning over and shooting with your back to the basket. When playing against the Heat, I wasn¡¯t very proficient in this movement. I¡¯m already at a passing level while running, but I¡¯m not very skilled at standing still for turning over and shooting.

    If you are more skilled, you can play from a longer distance when playing Kurt Thomas, pushing to an area so close to the basket. The main purpose is not to pass the ball, but to get closer to the basket to choose more.??But neither the cold Randy Whitman nor the changeable Butch Baird, nor the new coaches Chris Irving and Alvan Adams who just joined the Nets, thought about it.  They can really win many, many games, as long as their record is better than last season.

    Zhang Hao played very well in these two games. Looking at his personal performance alone, he was very good.

    But he felt that his opponents were paying more and more attention to him, and his poor defense was clearly targeted by his opponents.

    If the outside line can play pick-and-roll, the opponent will most likely use the pick-and-roll to pull him out. He has to follow him out, otherwise the opponent's inside line will rush in after completing the pick-and-roll. If it is a powerful inside line, it will be impossible to stop him.

    But when it expands, it becomes an outside cash machine for its opponents.

    ??Obviously, his stable offensive performance not only brings him the best attention among rookies, but also attracts attention from his opponents.

    As for the offense he is good at, the organization of the offense is still under development, the passing training has not stopped, and the effect of the experimental series attack on the field is not bad but not very good either.

    As for scoring, which is what he is best at, Zhang Hao also felt powerless in the games against the Eagles and Kings.

    Unless he breaks out like he did against the Pistons, his performance will be that of an ordinary main scorer.

    This is already very impressive. As a rookie, he is still a rookie in high school, but he does not become complacent because of this, but is very "unsatisfied".

    This is a very special place for him

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Akers, you come to training so early again? God, don't you give yourself some time to rest?"

    After losing to the Kings yesterday, the Nets got two days of rest. The next game is the Pacers at home on the 16th, the next game is the Jazz at home on the 18th, and then another away game.

    Judging from the strength of their opponents, the Nets' schedule in November is miserable. Judging from the tightness of the schedule, their Nets only have 13 games this month, which is quite easy.

    The team has no training scheduled today, and Kenny Anderson did not practice any extra time.

    Losing is bound to happen. After playing for several years, he knew that it was not a good thing to sit down and think about losing. The approach of holding back your energy and rushing forward was not suitable for him. He chose  Find teammates to play with.

    Kenny Anderson excitedly ran to Zhang Hao¡¯s apartment early in the morning, but found no one. When he came to the arena, he saw that Zhang Hao was indeed training.

    Looking at Kenny Anderson dragging his suitcase, Zhang Hao responded: "I go to bed on time. Under normal circumstances, I will go to bed at 11 o'clock Boss, why are you dragging your suitcase? Are you leaving the team?"

    ¡°You just left the team and ran away!

    ¡°I¡¯m not talking about whether you slept well, but on your days off, don¡¯t just think about training all day long, and occasionally do some recreational activitiesForget it, it¡¯s really a waste of time to look for you"

    Kenny Anderson said depressedly and opened the suitcase. It was a laptop as thick as two stacked bricks and a box.

    "After death, there will be plenty of time for entertainment. While I am alive, I have to work hard"

    Zhang Hao was showing off when he heard Kenny Anderson say, "I also used some connections to get the beta game disc for Warcraft 2. I remember you have a computer" Zhang Hao immediately shut up and got close to him.

    At this time, Kenny Anderson also heard Zhang Hao's pretentious words just now, but he didn't hear clearly, and asked: "Akers, what did you just say? Why do you have time for entertainment after death? What else can you do after death? Jumping on the grave  Di?"

    ¡°That¡¯s like being raped on someone¡¯s graveah, you heard wrong!

    Come on, let¡¯s go play some games!  You're right, you can't just train every day, you have to play games occasionally.  "

    Finally, there is a game with a "futuristic" feel. Today's games are fine when played with others. They can discuss the plot and how to pass the levels together, but when played alone, he really can't get into it.

    And Warcraft 2 can basically be regarded as a version of the Frozen Throne with inferior graphics!

    The playability is so high!  This can be regarded as the earliest real-time strategy game, although it was only a local area network.

    Back in the apartment, Zhang Hao turned on the computer that had not been turned on for a few days. Kenny Anderson's laptop had already been installed with the game disk yesterday. After Zhang Hao installed it, they could connect to the LAN and play together.

    The installation process is slow

    "Akers, have you been developing a back-up turnaround jumper recently?"

    "Then you have to take it slow. It took Coleman two or three years to practice this trick before he really got good at it. If you work harder than him, your learning ability should be better, but it probably won't be able to be practiced in a short time.  Will do."

    "I know, but the later you start practicing, the later the practice session will be."

    "You are really Hey, you have to remember that there will be more and more skills in the future, and there are key points. The skills that are the best and most suitable at the moment should be the main skills. If you encounter an opponent like Thomas again,  You can take the initiative to hit behind you, but if you are not yet proficient in back hitting and cannot deal with an opponent, don¡¯t force it. You should watch more videos of masters in back hitting and find a way to learn it that suits you. Don¡¯t just do nothing.  Know how to practice hard"

    Kenny Thomas once again turned on the chatterbox mode

    When Kenny Thomas finished talking, Zhang Hao responded: "I understand."

    After talking for a long time, the phrase "I got it" came back, but Kenny Anderson was used to it.

    It¡¯s good to understand!

    The fact that the younger brother understands it so easily is almost as good as the boss who taught him well!

    ¡­¡­

    I played games for half the morning, ordered pizza with Kenny Anderson at noon, and played games in the afternoon until 4 o'clock. The relaxing and happy day was over.

    Kenny Anderson went home. After Zhang Hao arrived for dinner, he continued training

    It¡¯s okay to relax occasionally, but now that you have decided to develop new technology, you have to develop it seriously and seize the time to develop it.

    Standing on the shoulders of Jordan, a giant in the basketball world and learning from it, there will never be a situation where there is nothing to practice when it comes to training turnaround jump shots.

    The most difficult thing about learning a technology is actually getting started.

    Some players have no chance to get started in a certain technology and are completely unsuitable. Zhang Hao knows this very well.

    ???????????????????? However, he got started very quickly in turning over jump shots, and he was also very quick in turning over and shooting from behind. This is the reason why he made up his mind to practice hard, and that was it from the beginning when he practiced catching the ball and turning over jump shots.

    Another two nights passed, and on November 16th, the Nets¡¯ seventh game of the season arrived, ushering in the challenge of the Indiana Pacers.

    The Pacers currently have 4 wins and 2 losses, temporarily ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference. Zhang Hao does not have a deep understanding of the Pacers.

    In my previous life, when I was bragging with my friends who were also basketball enthusiasts, the things that happened in the 1990s made sense. But when I really came to this era, I found that it was more familiar yet unfamiliar.

    You know who is there and what big things are going to happen, but beyond that, you know nothing.

    He played a preseason game with the Pacers before, but didn¡¯t know much about them. During today¡¯s preparation stage, Zhang Hao had a deeper understanding of the Pacers.

    This team can be said to be a representative of counterattack!

    Reggie Miller was so coquettish in his college days. In the history of the NCAA super giants, his total points are second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and his highest scoring average in a single season is even higher than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

    But during the draft, he fell all the way to the 11th pick. The 11th pick at that time was not a lottery pick.

    He was not taken seriously in his first season in the NBA until his second year. In a game between the Pacers and Bulls, Reggie Miller made 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and free throws against Jordan.  3-for-3, a performance of 22 points in a single game, and two three-pointers were key goals at the last moment, helping the Pacers defeat the Bulls, a second-round playoff team, 100-95.  Team, his ability was valued.

    Since the third grade, Reggie Miller has become a strong contender for the league's third shooting guard.

    Mark Jackson was also very successful in college, but he fell to the 18th pick in the draft because he was slow. In the NCAA with zone defense, this is not a problem, but he was evaluated as not suitable for the NBA and more suitable for European basketball.

    But enter??Men's basketball monsterhis long hands are awesome!

    The Nets retreated easily, and the Pacers advanced slowly. It's not that they controlled the rhythm, they were really slow.

    After Mark Jackson steadily advanced to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Derek McKay.

    Derek McKay¡¯s role is similar to Edwards, but he is an inside version. He is 206 centimeters tall. He can play from small forward to center. He can do a little bit of everything. He is very good in one-on-one singles and is also good in single defense. He is a very good jack-of-all-trades player.

    Derek McKay in the low post received the ball, and Reggie Miller started running. Graham started a collision and dragging pursuit, but Reggie Miller was very tough and had excellent running ability. He found  A gap was squeezed in from the middle

    The seat is available!

    Derek McKay fired the ball in the low post, and Reggie Miller took a long two-point shothit!

    Reggie Miller's scoring area is wider than the impression he gives as the "three-point king". One-third of his points are free throws, close range and basket scores, and one-third of his points are three-pointers.  , and another third is in the middle distance.

    He is very smart. He rarely goes close to the basket except for layups. However, even if he knows that he is going to make mid-range and long-range shots, he still can't stop him!

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Nets attack.

    It was Reggie Miller who guarded Kenny Anderson. After being posted on Kenny Anderson, Reggie Miller never stopped talking.

    Of course Kenny Anderson chose to break through in singles.

    Crowded!

    The Pacers' frontcourt trio made the three-point line extremely crowded. Kenny Anderson didn't get a chance after rushing inside and passed the ball to the running Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao wanted to catch the ball and throw it, but when he saw Almon Gilliam squeezing Dale Davis to cut in and gain a position advantage, he immediately passed the ball.

    After receiving the ball, Almon Gilliam was afraid of Schmitz under the basket and made an emergency stop at close range but missed!

    After Schmitz got the rebound, Dale Davis shouted arrogantly: "Rick, you see that coward is afraid of you!"

    Almon Gilliam was about to run away on the spot, but was stopped by PJ Brown and pulled back to the backcourt.

    Dale Davis, he is like Dennis Rodman of the Pacers, not that bad, not that strong, averaging 10+10 per game, and his scoring depends on the team's excellent space control.  He could only get it, but he was able to renew his contract in advance and get a two-year contract worth US$8.1 million in 1993, and he also renewed his contract in advance and got a two-year contract worth US$11.78 million before the start of this season, just because of his defense.  Even if you can't defend yourself, you will work hard and never get discouraged. At the same time, you can also use various methods to make your opponent angry.

    Mark Jackson received a pass from Schmitz and advanced to the frontcourt. Derek McKay continued to go to the low post to rely on Almon Gilliam to ask for the ball.

    Everyone thought Mark Jackson was going to pass the ball to Derek McKay in the low post, but not this time. After Schmitz pulled out to give Reggie Miller a high pick-and-roll, he took advantage of the gap when Zhang Hao and Graham switched defenses.  , passed the ball to Schmitz, who was stretched to the left of the free throw line, and Schmitz caught the ball and made a jump shot!

    The pace is very slow, but the success rate is extremely high!

    In the past six games, the Pacers' shooting percentage has reached 54%, which is higher than the Magic and SuperSonics, the two teams ranked first in the East and West. The Pacers have continued their past success.  Excellent form for a few games.

    When the Nets attacked, their chance at the beginning really came from Almon Gilliam.

    Because Dale Davis couldn't keep up with Zhang Hao, they tried it in the preseason, so in this game, Derek McKay was used to guard Zhang Hao without the ball, but Dale Davis had to guard Almon Gilliam in the same way.  difficult.

    Kenny Anderson discovered this in the last round. In this round, he intentionally passed the ball to Almon Gilliam, who had just received the ball after Zhang Hao screened without the ball.

    Seeing Gilliam receiving the ball, Dale Davis and Derek McKay, who were switching defenses, attacked Gilliam together.

    Gilliam passed the ball to Zhang Hao who retreated to the two-point area on the left side of the three-second zone. Zhang Hao received the ball and made an open mid-range shot a solid hit!

    Dale Davis and Derek McKay didn¡¯t expect Almon Gilliam to calmly distribute the ball!

    Dale Davis and Almon Gilliam have played against each other a lot, and they know Almon Gilliam¡¯s character traits, so they start to yell at each other. Seeing the opponent¡¯s anger level seems not enough.

    After the ball fell from the basket, Dale Davis shouted loudly to his teammate Derek McKay who was half a meter away: "Derek, look, that weakling is scared, he can only rely on  A rookie!¡±

    Almon Gilliam has such a bad temper that he just wants to rush in and get angry!

    Seeing that Almon Gilliam was about to bite, Zhang Hao covered Almon Gilliam's mouth and pulled him back

 Chapter 94 94. Because he is smart (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    Almon Gilliam really can't break free. Regardless of explosive power, Zhang Hao has the advantage in terms of pure strength.

    Seeing Almon Gilliam on the verge of going berserk, Randy Whitman called a timeout.

    Dale Davis was a little confused. He was ready to go through a circle for the opponent's strongest single point and be ejected.

    But the rookie on the opposite side was too calm and pulled Almon Gilliam away directly, and the way he pulled him was a little special.

    This is not important. What is important is that in his mind, Almon Gilliam is not as bad as he said. On the contrary, Dale Davis feels that Almon Gilliam has the potential to turn the situation around.  that.

    Because although their forward line is fierce and their center has top-notch scoring skills, their interior defense is quite weak. They are better at flanking and intercepting breakthroughs and switching defenses in the mid-range.

    The Nets have defeated the Heat before, and Dale Davis is the defensive leader of the Pacers. He must do something.

    If it doesn't work once or twice, then continue to stimulate the opponent. Anyway, it's just a waste of words and it's more useless to your teammates. Derek McKay picked his ears and walked back to the bench. Dale Davis' voice just now,  He almost had a perforated eardrum.

    On the other side, the Nets bench.

    Zhang Hao pulled Almon Gilliam back to the bench and kept thinking about what to say. When he returned to the bench, he finally thought of it and said to Almon Gilliam: "Almon, don't fuck that guy.  Of course, he will irritate you because he is afraid of you, he is afraid that you will rush to the basket and score, and he is afraid that you will attract a double attack and then pass the ball, you know?"

    ¡°Woo woo woo¡­¡±

    "do you understand?"

    ¡°Woo woo woo¡­¡±

    The teammates nearby saw Zhang Hao holding Almon Gilliam in a shoulder lock position, covering Almon Gilliam's mouth and asking questions This rookie is so cruel!

    At this time, it was Jason Williams who stepped forward to save Almon Gilliam's life: "Akers, you cover Almon's mouth and he can't answer you."

    Zhang Hao was stunned, and looked at Almon Gilliam who was rolling his eyes as his mouth and nose were covered by him, and he seemed to be using a lot of force. He quickly released his hands and pulled Almon Gilliam away.  Help yourself to stand firm.

    After Almon Gilliam stood firm, he pushed Zhang Hao away, gasping for air.

    "Sorry, sorry, I forgot to cover your mouth."

    Almon Gilliam calmed down at this time. If he had rushed forward just now, his salary for a few games might have been lost. However, he rolled his eyes again and looked at Zhang Hao and responded: "I know!"

    "Yeah!" Zhang Hao nodded quickly, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Almon, the two of us will cooperate more. If you have a chance, you can hit the opposite basket. The opposite center just looks tall. I will fight against him.  I found that his strength was average. He was only 116 kilograms and 224 centimeters tall. He couldn't stop you. The opponent had already flanked you just now. We were in the same half zone. You were always ready to pass the ball to me Anyway, what do you think?  When it's time to pass the ball, come to me and leave the rest to me.

    ??Pj, pay attention to grabbing rebounds.

    ¡°Boss Kenny, you go guard Miller and try to catch up with him. It doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t guard him. PJ and I will try our best to make up the defense.

    Coach, we can replace Kevin first. He can shoot three-pointers and serve as the third singles point with the ball"

    As he spoke, Zhang Hao consciously shut up.

    Too many words lead to mistakes!  Why did you start making arrangements after talking about it?

    Teammates who were close to Zhang Hao became worried and looked at Randy Whitman.

    Randy Whitman looked around the team members, was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

    ?????????????? Damn it!

    Randy Whitman is not that easy to talk to!

    Last year, when Coleman was messing around in the game, Randy Whitman would put Coleman on the bench for an entire quarter. This season, only Kenny Anderson and PJ Brown, the two leaders on both offense and defense, can do that.  Communicating on-field adjustments with Randy Whitman, and communicating.

    There is a huge difference in treatment between people!

    Zhang Hao was also very surprised by this situation

    ¡­¡­

    The timeout is almost over. On the Nets side, Randy Whitman replaced Graham with Edwards, and the players walked onto the court.

    Butch Baird sat next to Randy Whitman and whispered: "See, Randy, Akers' leadership temperament!"

    Without answering Butch Baird¡¯s words, Randy Whitman muttered: ¡°Damn it, these guys are actually willing to listen to the arrangements of this kid Akers.¡±

    cloth-McKay double-teamed Almon Gilliam, preventing him from going to the basket to continue causing damage.

    At this time, Zhang Hao¡¯s role was revealed!

    Edwards came up from the weak side and passed the second pass to Zhang Hao on the left side of the free throw line.

    When Zhang Hao received the ball, he was under a lot of pressure. He knew that he had to score the ball in order to help his teammates create better offensive space. However, the greater the pressure, the more focused he became!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????? off, take a mid-range shot all in one move!

    In!

    This is very important for Zhang Hao. He himself also understands that he must throw the ball in when Almon Gilliam attracts a double attack, because under normal circumstances, unless the opponent double attacks the player with the ball, otherwise the Pacers' mid-range  With his defensive ability, it is difficult for him to get out of the open space. With such an opportunity, he cannot miss it.

    And this is also very important for Almon Gilliam. Because of Zhang Hao's presence, he can choose to pass the ball after attracting a double attack. Because he is flanked by players defending Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao is free, and the rest of the Pacers can  Talent can't cut off his passing and receiving lines with the high post, otherwise he will just have his head sullen.

    The Nets' style of play has stabilized, and Kenny Anderson has spent his energy on chasing and defending. His defensive ability is not very good, but he can keep up with the pace, and his super speed is not afraid of pick-and-rolls. From this perspective,  , Kenny Anderson interfered with Reggie Miller much more than Graham did.

    When the Nets were not allowed to double attack without the ball, it was not a good idea to switch to the Nets. Kenny Anderson kept his head down and pursued the defense firmly, but the effect was better. At least he did not let Reggie Miller  Get up.

    The focus is still on the decisiveness on the offensive end. Old players have long had the impression that Almon Gilliam is timid when he is strong. Dale Davis wanted to stimulate him from this aspect tonight.

    Before, Almon Gilliam would either be casual or not play calmly, but tonight was different, he played very calmly!

    Almon Gilliam cooperates with the high post to pass and receive, Edwards's singles after receiving the response, or one of Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, and PJ Brown's rush. The game is very simple, but the effect is very good.  .

    The scores of the two teams increased staggeredly. Overall, the Pacers had a slight advantage. Their slow-paced cooperation was very skilled, while the Nets relied on their energy to rush forward.

    The game was deadlocked until 11 minutes and 39 seconds of the first quarter. The Pacers led the Nets by 3 points, 27-24, and the Nets had the ball.

    Zhang Hao sent the ball to Kenny Anderson, who pushed forward with the ball, putting great pressure on him.

    Just now, Reggie Miller hit a three-pointer over his head. They finally tied the score, and now the point difference has expanded to 3 points.

    All physical strength is used on the defensive end, and the offensive end is slowed down. This is different from the previous play In fact, the energy spent on both sides has been reversed, but Kenny Anderson knows that this style of play is more effective in the current game.  , advanced past halftime and handed the ball to Edwards.

    After running out the attack time with 8 seconds left, Edwards continued to pass the ball to Almon Gilliam. Almon Gilliam got excited tonight and already scored 11 points, the highest in the game!  It¡¯s higher than Reggie Miller¡¯s 10 points in a single quarter!

    But this time the Pacers' attack was fast and fierce, blocking Almon Gilliam's breakthrough. Zhang Hao tried to connect behind Almon Gilliam, but Almon Gilliam passed the ball.  Don't come out!

    This allows Mark Jackson to focus on cutting off Edwards' receiving route, and Schmitz also moves towards the free throw line to interfere with Almon Gilliam's high pass route.

    With no other choice, Almon Gilliam threw the ball towards the outside of the three-point line, trying to end the remaining seconds of the first quarter. This operation can be said to be a reckless act. If it is  If the opponent steals the ball, they will be counterattacked.

    The Pacers had already rushed to grab the ball. At this time, one hand took the lead in blocking the ball!  Zhang Hao, who had been paying attention to Almon Gilliam's passing movements, grabbed the ball first!

    At 11 minutes and 58 seconds, there were two seconds left in the attack time. Zhang Hao received the ball and turned over directly. He didn¡¯t have time to make a shooting move. He grabbed the ball with one hand and pushed the ball towards the basket like a shot put

    As soon as the ball left Zhang Hao¡¯s hand, the whistle sounded at the end of this quarter

    With the whistle, the ball fell from the air and plunged into the basket!

    The referee on the wing confirmed that the three-pointer is valid!

    27 square meters!

 Chapter 95 95. Larry Brown¡¯s coaching philosophy (will be released tomorrow, please vote for me!)

    The fans at the scene were once again ignited!

    This game tonight was too exciting. They were defeated by the Kings in the last game. The fans did not have high expectations for this game with a stronger opponent. However, there was a smell of gunpowder from the start.

    This smell of gunpowder was initiated by the Pacers, but before the smell of gunpowder spread, it was stopped by Zhang Hao.

    When Zhang Hao pulled Almon Gilliam away by locking his shoulders and covering his mouth, bursts of laughter erupted from the scene.

    I originally thought that this game might become a funny game, and the Nets were the ones being used to make fun of it.

    Who knows, after that timeout, the Nets played even harder!

    They even tied the score at the end of the first quarter with Zhang Hao's three-pointer!

    On the court.

    Only then did Zhang Hao notice that it was actually a three-pointer!  When I took action in desperation just now, I tried my best to throw the ball, but I couldn't even maintain the shooting motion, so I couldn't even notice the location of the shot.

    The first three-pointer in career!

    It came a bit suddenly!

    Zhang Hao turned around and ran to the bench. The subtitle prompt suddenly came. He immediately braked to read the prompt.

    On the other side, Almon Gilliam kept staring at the ball after Zhang Hao threw it. When the ball went in, he was so excited - the casual throw just now turned into an assist!

    After the referee confirmed that Zhang Hao made a three-pointer, Almon Gilliam rushed towards Zhang Hao. This time, he must hug!

    He knew that Zhang Hao didn't like to celebrate, so he didn't call his name in advance, but rushed forward, anticipating Zhang Hao's movement, and rushed towards Zhang Hao's path and rushed in front of Zhang Hao!

    ¡°fuxk¡­¡­¡±

    Almon Gilliam, whose feet were already off the ground, missed the point!  Looking at Zhang Hao who suddenly braked, Almon Gilliam cursed in the air and threw himself into the street

    "what's going on?"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s attention was originally focused on the subtitle prompts, but he was suddenly attracted by Almon Gilliam who rushed to the street. At the same time, he also heard the laughter gradually spreading throughout the scene.

    Taking a step forward to the left and squatting down, Zhang Hao poked his teammate lying on the floor and asked, "Is this a stunt? Almon."

    "You're the one doing stunts! Go away! Let me lie down, I don't want to deal with you!" Almon Gilliam didn't move, but his mouth was roaring.

    Zhang Hao saw that Almon Gilliam was very angry, so it was all right, so he responded: "Oh okay."

    After saying that, Zhang Hao stood up, walked around Almon Gilliam, and walked back to the bench.

    When Zhang Hao walked back to the bench, his teammates who had originally planned to rush up to hug or high-five Zhang Hao and Almon Gilliam were standing one step inside the sideline of the court, staring at him in stunned silence.

    They saw with their own eyes that Almon Gilliam rushed forward excitedly to celebrate Zhang Hao's performance in the first quarter, but Zhang Hao stopped and avoided it as his temples looked like eyes on his back

    Feeling the strange looks in his teammates¡¯ eyes, Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, ¡°He¡¯s fine.¡±

    "oh¡­¡­"

    The teammates turned around and returned to the bench.

    On the other side, Almon Gilliam was lying on the floor in despair - you really don't care about me!  Pull me up!

    Almon Gilliam feels like he's experiencing social death.

    The fans at the scene were already laughing!

    Fortunately, at this time, PJ Brown came up from behind and gave Almon Gilliam a reason to stand up

    ¡­¡­

    "It's really"

    Randy Whitman was having a headache, and now he couldn't help grinning, but he immediately held it back.

    He is professional.

    This game actually became anxious while playing, and it was Zhang Hao who came up with the method. Of course, Randy Whitman had to find a way to continue the current good situation during the rotation stage.

    Of course Randy Whitman wants to win such a game.

    But it¡¯s hard to win!

    Although they played so well in the first quarter, Almon Gilliam obviously broke out on their side, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, plus Zhang Hao made two mid-range shots and a counterattack layup 2+1  , coupled with the last three-pointer and 10 points, they tied the score with the Pacers.

    It is difficult to predict what will happen next. After all, the Pacers are the most stable team since the start of this season.

    With the desire to win, naturally there are more worries.

    However, seeing the interaction between Zhang Hao and Almon Gilliam Randy Whitman felt light-heartedIt's okay. Larry Brown put him in the small forward position just to avoid his shortcomings of not being particularly fast. Although he is not proficient in offense, Larry Brown still has this vision.

    It¡¯s just Reggie Miller looked at Zhang Hao in front of him, is this really an insider?  Was he really the center who defended Schmitz in the first quarter?

    He is the same height, but he is faster and more flexible than his shooting guard That's okay, why is this guy coming to the outside, and that bastard Vaughn actually goes inside to defend Antonio Davis?

    Doesn¡¯t it matter the height difference?

    This was Vaughan Fleming's initiative. He knows how bad the mouth of Davis is. He has played for the Pacers for the past 11 seasons. He has watched these two players grow up, and he also knows  Know the characteristics of the two people.

    Reggie Miller and Antonio Davis were on a pick-and-roll, preparing to pass and cut, but Vaughn Fleming guided Zhang Hao to directly clamp Reggie Miller before Antonio Davis' pick-and-roll was in place. Vaughn-  Fleming is responsible for blocking, and Zhang Hao is responsible for covering the passing route with his body.

    Reggie Miller couldn't continue the pick-and-roll, and he couldn't squeeze out these two people. He could only pull up to a position close to the sideline, turn around and shoot a three-pointer He was almost blocked by Zhang Hao who rushed forward!

    Before taking the shot, Reggie Miller adjusted the arc, and the anti-aircraft gun three-point shot missed!

    Jason Williams protects the rebound!

    After a few rounds, the offensive success rate of both teams was extremely low. Zhang Hao watched Reggie Miller go from 4-for-5 shooting to 5-for-9. He finally realized that the Pacers' offensive success rate was so high and Reggie's shooting rate was so high.  -Why is Miller's shooting percentage not high? When it came time to play defense during the rotation, Reggie Miller could only do it by himself. After 6 rounds, Reggie Miller didn't even pass the ball once.  Unless teammates have a good opportunity, they will shoot by themselves. In 6 rounds, the Pacers only scored 4 points on 2-for-6 shooting.

    But the Nets were not much better. Childs worked very hard. He wanted to rely on pick-and-rolls to open up space and create shooting opportunities. However, the Pacers' defense was really good. There was no defensive three.  Second, although they cannot play zone defense, the Pacers' lineup can form an iron-clad defense below the free throw line, that is, in the elbow area.

    Haywood Workman and Travis Best both dare to fight and have excellent physical fitness. Although on the offensive endthe defense is really good under the leadership of Double Davis.

    ??Double Davis is also a well-known mid-to-short range gate combination in the league.

    The Pacers were 2 for 6, and the Nets were only 2 for 6. One was Zhang Hao's baseline mid-range shot, the other goal was a tip-in by Jason Williams, and another offense was intercepted by Reggie Miller.  Well, fortunately the Pacers did not counterattack.

    After 6 rounds, the Nets and Pacers played a brutal 5-4, and these six rounds took 5 minutes

    Finally, at 5 minutes and 08 seconds of the second quarter, Reggie Miller finally succeeded in borrowing the pick-and-roll. After borrowing Antonio Davis, he did not wait to completely bypass the pick-and-roll. With his line of sight blocked, he jumped directly based on his feeling.  , three-point shot

    In!

    34 to 32, the Pacers lead by two points!

    Jason Williams picked up the ball and sent it to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao handed it to Childs and ran forward.

    That does not work!

    The offensive success rate is too low. This is exactly what Larry Brown wants. Compared with the Heat, the Pacers' defensive configuration is much better. Moreover, Larry Brown has coached the Pacers for the third time.  It¡¯s been 20 years. I have laid a good defensive foundation in the first year. I got Mark Jackson to protect my offensive end last season. I have become a member of the championship team. It is a team with 50+ wins. The team offense is too difficult to deal with the Pacers.  Team.

    Looking at his teammates on the court, Zhang Hao reached outside the three-point line, clapped his hands, and after attracting Childs' attention, he pointed to the middle distance of the left baseline, and then ran over to rely on Antonio Davis, who was guarding him.  .

    Childs understood and lobbed the ball to Zhang Hao, who was leaning on Antonio Davis to ask for the ball.

    Childers came to the left to respond at a 45-degree angle, Edwards stepped into the top arc to respond, Vaughan Fleming was in the middle distance from the weak side baseline, and Jason Williams stood firm on the right side of the three-second zone.

    The Pacers players also stood firm, and Zhang Hao began to beat Antonio Davis!

    And Antonio Davis had felt Zhang Hao¡¯s power in the previous rounds and knew why Schmitz couldn¡¯t hit Zhang Hao, so he lowered his center of gravity and resisted.

    Zhang Hao adjusted his rhythm and pushed Antonio Davis again. After feeling the opponent's center of gravity lower, Zhang Hao stepped forward with his right foot. When he stepped out and landed on the ground with his right foot, his left foot began to rotate. The landing of his right foot was perpendicular to the baseline.  , the body changed into a position facing Antonio Davis sideways.

    Jump!

    During the take-off process, he turned around, faced the basket, and shot a mid-range shot that floated backwards

    When Antonio Davis got up and pounced, Zhang Hao had already thrown the ball.

    The ball plunged into the basket!

 Chapter 96 96. Celebration in advance (10,000-word chapter*1, please subscribe and vote monthly!)

    The movements are very beautiful and look very relaxed and chic.

    Excellent bounce and flexibility. Although it is so big, it looks very beautiful.

    Antonio Davis didn't expect Zhang Hao to play like this. When the Nets played the Heat before, Zhang Hao used a back shot. Zhang Hao performed well in that game. Although it may be just their normal performance for those star players, but  For a rookie power forward, 21 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists are quite outstanding, so Antonio Davis went out of his way to investigate Zhang Hao, a rookie insider who might face him in a few games.

    Compared with Schmitz, he prepared more thoroughly before the game. Because he is not as good as Schmitz, he has to rely on more preparation and harder play to compete for playing time.

    Although there was no live broadcast of the game, the news showed Zhang Hao using his strength to bully fellow rookies and carry Kurt Thomas from the free throw line to the three-second zone for several rounds.

    When Zhang Hao hit him from behind, he was fully prepared to shoulder it.

    But who would have known that Zhang Hao's style of play this time was completely different from that of the one against the Heat. It was a turn-over jump shot like a guard, instead of a close-range turn-over jump shot from the inside like when he played against the Heat. Zhang Hao had never used it at that time.  This move!

    This gave Zhang Hao the opportunity to complete a training-like turnaround jump shot with almost no interference.

    The Nets bench, teammates and coaching staff were also quite surprised that Zhang Hao took the initiative to play in singles. Unlike the players on the court who are focused on the game, people watching the game always stand from God's perspective and can always provide guidance.  Jiangshan generally talks about who should be beaten and how.

    Thinking of the game against the Heat, Zhang Hao¡¯s first post-up fight after joining the team was when he relied on his strength to beat Kurt Thomas. How many days has it been until now?  They just combined the turnaround jump shot and post-up shot that they practiced before!

    Kenny Anderson slapped his hands expressionlessly on the sidelines - our little brother's learning ability I still don't ask him how he practiced, he will be pissed to death.

    34 square meters!

    After scoring the goal, Zhang Hao turned around and ran back to the backcourt. Reggie Miller received the serve and advanced. He felt a lot of pressure!

    When the pressure is high, Reggie Miller likes to talk trash to relieve his pressure, so that he can find offensive opportunities more calmly and at the same time anger his opponents.

    "But Childs has suffered too much. He only entered the NBA at the age of 26 and has been wandering in overseas leagues for so many years. This kind of trash talk cannot affect him at all.

    This time, Reggie Miller failed to find a suitable shooting opportunity and handed the ball to Travis Best. The latter rushed to the inside and faced Zhang Hao's defensive throw

    Zhang Hao's defense is actually just like that. He has a good sense of position and excellent movement. In fact, he may take a shot and it will fly away. However, Travis Best is only a rookie and has very good immediate combat ability on the defensive end.  After entering the NBA, he could become the main substitute in a strong defensive team like the Pacers, but he lacked confidence on the offensive end. When he saw Zhang Hao coming in, he panicked and made a cross-over shot!

    Zhang Hao defends the defensive rebounds!

    Although the shot was missed, Travis Best immediately went to the defensive end and tried to steal Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao grabbed the ball with one hand and stretched out of bounds to protect the ball, but he also lost the opportunity to pass the ball immediately and then make a quick pass.  .

    No rush, Zhang Hao waited until Childs came up to receive the ball and then passed the ball. Travis Best immediately went to press and defend Childs.

    Childers is experienced in controlling the ball and advances steadily. When he reaches the frontcourt, Zhang Hao has already gone to that familiar position to block Antonio Davis for the ball.

    Antonio Davis tried very hard to occupy a favorable space, but failed to really cause interference. Zhang Hao still received the ball.

    But the Pacers were already prepared, and Reggie Miller immediately attacked Zhang Hao.

    The Pacers team's defense has also changed, and it has begun to intercept the passing line from the strong side to the weak side. Edwards' receiving line was blocked by the Pacers. Such a defensive championship is about to enter its peak period.  A strong team, much better defensively than the Heat, who had just begun to change the team's style of play.

    Regarding the Pacers' defensive moves, most people on the Nets did not make the correct moves to respond, and the gap in tactical literacy was reflected.

    Zhang Hao tried hard to protect the ball, holding the ball with one hand and stretching it out of bounds. He found that he underestimated the Pacers' defensive discipline. He thought that the Nets had no dynamic offense and the opponent's defense had also stopped.  After all, he is not Jordan or Olajuwon. There is no situation where he is flanked after receiving the ball with his back But in just one round, the opponent decisively flanked him and did not give him a chance to play smoothly!

    Antonio Davis and Reggie Miller made a mistake when they tried to press Zhang Hao. They found that Zhang Hao was very good at confrontation and pushed him again. Yu Jianqian cutHao moved sideways to protect the ball. He had just noticed that there were only more than 3 seconds left on the clock. He did not pass it to Kenny Anderson who was free on the sideline. He did not hesitate. He held his breath, exerted his strength, and moved towards Reggie Rice.  Le bumped into it

    Reggie Miller found himself flying high!

    In this step, Zhang Hao reached the free throw line, turned over, and shot a jump shot

    Because he was very decisive in protecting the ball from the side and playing from behind, not only did he not give the rest of the Pacers a chance to cover up, but he also had more than 3 seconds to make a one-step turnaround jump shot, and Zhang Hao's shooting action was also complete!

    Reggie Miller, who was knocked into the air by Zhang Hao, saw the smile on the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth as soon as his feet landed on the ground, and then saw Zhang Hao turn around and open his arms

    When Zhang Hao received the ball, the fans at the scene had already quieted down, watching with bated breath how Zhang Hao decided to make the final attack. It was not surprising that he made the shot. One of the characteristics of a rookie is that he loves to steal the limelight.

    But Zhang Hao started celebrating as soon as the ball was thrown Before anyone who saw Zhang Hao's celebration could have any negative thoughts, with the final whistle, the ball plunged into the basket!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 97 97. The desperate three-point package (10,000-word chapter*2, please subscribe and vote monthly)

    The referee decisively confirmed that the goal was valid!

    When the final whistle sounded, the ball had just dropped from the highest point. There was no doubt, 107 to 106, Zhang Hao made a buzzer-beater, and the Nets defeated the Pacers by 1 point.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s pretense to celebrate in advance did not turn into a fool, but a good show of awesomeness.

    More than 15,000 fans at the scene were excited, shouting "x"!

    The tickets for this game are worth buying!

    "Oh, Siatt, you stole the limelight again!" Jason Williams was the first to rush out, jump on Zhang Hao's back, hugged Zhang Hao and roared, "Remember, I grabbed the ball! It was me!  "

    Kenny Anderson, who had the best chance to shoot but didn't receive the pass, didn't care about it when he was watching a high school student's one-on-one game. He scored and won!  He rushed forward and reached up to pat Zhang Hao on the shoulder in celebration. His teammates on the bench also rushed forward.

    After working hard for the whole game, the exhausted Nets players felt so good at this moment!

    Before Zhang Hao, who made the buzzer-beating shot, had time to respond to Reggie Miller, Almon Gilliam fired at Reggie Miller: "Biqi, so what if I can't guard you.  ?you lose!"

    They couldn¡¯t even celebrate properly. The teammates gathered behind Almon Gilliam.

    The referee really wanted to give the Nets a technical foul after the game. He felt that these guys had the tendency to become a thorny team. In the previous preseason game when the Nets played the Hornets, it was this referee who called the foul. Zhang Hao said after the game  Provocation, this time Zhang Hao showed off his victory in advance, Almon Gilliam provoked after the game

    Fortunately, these days, everyone has the pride of being a prodigal. If you lose, you lose. Go back and practice hard and try to win the next game.

    Dale Davis, who was so foul-mouthed, just put his arm around the boss¡¯s shoulders and turned around to leave.

    Reggie Miller lost his temper and lost his temper. It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t play well. Tonight he made 12 of 25 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 7 of 14 mid-range shots, made all 5 free throws, and was able to attack at the basket.  He made 2 of 4 shots, scored 32 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, which was already a very good performance.

    The reason for the loss was the failure to stop Almon Gilliam's explosion, and Zhang Hao, who made 8 of 14 field goals with the help of Almon Gilliam's explosive inside containment.

    Unlike their Pacers team, except for his 32 points, Schmitz, the other player's highest scorer, only had 14 points. The Nets scored a total of 107 points, and Zhang Hao and Almon Gilliam scored 65 points. If  Counting Kenny Anderson, who scored 15 points, and Edwards, who scored 12 points, the four main players of the Nets scored 92 points, and the others only scored 12 points together.

    The opponent¡¯s strongest scorer broke out, and the three main players seized the opportunity and played so well. Reggie Miller was convinced when they lost.

    When he walked to the player tunnel, Reggie Miller turned his head and glanced at Zhang Hao, who continued to be surrounded by his teammates to celebrate - this high school student is quite awesome, he made 8 mid-range shots!

    Although Reggie Miller is unwilling to unite with other pitchers, it does not mean that he does not want to improve the status of pitchers. He is just doing these things in his own way.

    ¡­¡­

    "Due to the special contract player Zhang Hao helping the team win the NBA regular season as the main player, congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 5 days of life bonus."

    ¡°The strongest shooter (shooting star):

    Goal 1: Under the guidance of the host, special signed player Zhang Hao helps the team in this game.  (completed)

    Goal 2: Under the guidance of the host, special contract player Zhang Hao must hit more mid-range shots than Reggie Miller in this game.  (8 to 7, completed.)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the 15-day lifespan reward and the Michael Adams three-point shooting action package.

    Reggie Miller¡¯s favorability towards the host has increased and he has developed a strong interest in the host.  "

    "The remaining life is 440 days and the available life is 439 days."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Won the game, a great victory, although a little tired, but it was so great.

    After celebrating, I went back to the locker room and took a good look at the rewards, which was even more exciting!  It's just that when he saw that Reggie Miller was interested in someone like him, he always felt that there was something strange about this description.  Why wasn't the last ball passed?  In addition to having confidence in his mid-range shot, he couldn't beat Reggie Miller so he would retire and wait for death. Another thing is that after he made a mid-range shot in the fourth quarter, he caught up with no mid-range shot in the fourth quarter.  Reggie Miller's mid-range shots, the last ball is in the mid-range area, of course it has to be shot.

    Michael Adams' three-point shooting package Zhang Hao thought of the action of his first three-pointer in his career a shot put three-pointer He still had to win it. It would be foolish not to fight for the reward.

    It's full  Zhang Hao feels the physical strength that is about to the limit, and the loss is that there is an Alumon Gilem eruption tonight, otherwise they really have no chance and state.For a while, there is no coach in the league who can compare with Nelson.

    Tonight, Zhang Hao took the highest number of shots in the game, throwing 21 times, but only scored 5

    ¡­¡­

    After playing the game, Zhang Hao thought about the poisonous comments the future famous boss had on him in the news interview he saw yesterday evening, and really wanted to strangle that string of data in learning mode.

    Although I have a strong mental endurance, I still feel depressed when I lose the game and lose so miserably.

    After the game and physical therapy, Zhang Hao did not go back to the hotel immediately, but wandered around the streets of Manhattan Island.

    ¡°When we arrived in New York yesterday, the whole team didn¡¯t go out. After losing the game, many teammates went out to find a place to vent.

    However, even if they win, Zhang Hao feels that these teammates will not stay in the hotel after the game. They can't come to New York a few times a year during the season. In this bustling place, they must go out and have a wave.

    Manhattan Island is neither too small nor too big. After strolling around, Zhang Hao came to the edge of the island. He was walking in the direction of the Statue of Liberty. Now he could just see the Statue of Liberty on the island a few miles away.  .

    By coincidence, Zhang Hao met his teammates here.

    "Jason, why are you here?"

    Jason Williams looked back at Zhang Hao. It was not surprising that he met Zhang Hao. His teammates would not take a guy who looked like a junior high school student with them when they went out to play. I don¡¯t know, they thought he had some special hobby

    Originally, every time Jason Williams thought about this, he would be a little proud - he started to be unruly after entering the NBA. Although Zhang Hao is big, his power is useless!

    But I thought that tonight I was surrounded by Charles Oakley, Ewing, Anthony Mason Jr. and others. I only scored 4 points and 6 rebounds in 26 minutes. I failed to help the team protect the defensive rebounds and was grabbed 14 times by the opponent.  An offensive rebound, he couldn't be happy when this link collapsed.

    With a trace of sadness, Jason Williams did not answer Zhang Hao's words, but asked: "Akers, have you ever seen the sea?"

    Looking at the big eyes in front of him, Zhang Hao responded: "Nonsense."

    This question is a bit stupid. Jason Williams ignored the previous question and continued to ask: "So have you ever cried?"

    After thinking about it for a moment, Zhang Hao responded: "I haven't cried in a long time."

    Jason Williams continued to ask: "Then tell me, why is the sea water salty and tears free?"

    Looking at Jason Williams, Zhang Hao tilted his neck, thought for a moment, looked at Jason Williams and said: "Maybe the seawater has entered the brain, and what is crying out is seawater."

    ""

    Jason Williams, who just secretly cried, wants to jump into the sea!

    There is no way to communicate normally with this guy!

    It really deserves a beating!

 Chapter 98 98. This college student is extremely popular (10,000-word chapter*3, please subscribe and vote monthly!)

    On November 23, the Nets came to the city where their opponent was in the third game of 4 consecutive games, Boston.

    ? 1 p.m., visiting team training ground at North Shore Garden Arena.

    Jason Williams asked with a look of displeasure: "What are you doing here? I don't know how to shoot. You are not a defender when practicing pick-and-roll."

    Zhang Hao responded while helping Edwards and the trainer prepare the basketball basket: "Anyway, there is nothing fun to do here. Let's practice rebounding together."

    Jason Williams is usually too busy except for team training, and all his pretentiousness comes out of his free time - whether this is the case or not, Zhang Hao thinks so.

    ??If you invest in the game, even if you lose, you can always learn something. It may be useful or useless, but it is always right to watch more, listen more and think more.

    When the Knicks were being substituted for a break, Zhang Hao heard Randy Whitman praising Alvan Adams for Ewing's rebound protection. At first, Zhang Hao didn't understand. Ewing's rebounds were better than those of the four major centers.  It can be regarded as the worst among them, not to say how bad it is, but to evaluate a star according to his position. Ewing should be ranked among the top centers in rebounding.  .

    After noticing the coach's conversation, Zhang Hao focused on this point and saw that although Ewing was not the best in rebounding, he did a very good job blocking the position and created a very good situation for Anthony Mason Jr. and Oakley.  With the opportunity to grab rebounds, combined with Ewing's own first-class rebounding ability, the three of them overwhelmed Jason Williams, a rebounding master who ranks among the top in the league.

    Last night, I met the hypocritical Jason Williams. Zhang Hao really didn¡¯t expect that this teammate with a rather weird personality actually had this side.

    Regardless of whether Jason Williams is too idle or not, Zhang Hao thinks he is too idle.

    Before the start of the season, Jason Williams still had strength training to build muscle, but after the start of the season, in order to ensure health and physical fitness, this training has ended. Apart from team training, Zhang Hao rarely sees Jason.  -Williams came to the gym to train.

    During the replay of the game last night, Zhang Hao decided to improve his rebounding ability. This must be used in every game. As an insider, he must practice well.

    Since Jason Williams is free and has time to be pretentious, he naturally has to find something for his teammate to do.

    But when faced with Zhang Hao¡¯s training invitation, Jason Williams directly refused: ¡°I¡¯m such a strong rebounder, what¡¯s the point of training?¡±

    Zhang Hao was more direct: "You lost to Ewing yesterday in rebounding."

    When it comes to this, Jason Williams was furious: "It's not that I lost! It was just a few of them against me! It's not your fault for your poor rebounding. You only grabbed those few when I was blocked by two people."  A rebound."

    ¡°Yeah, my rebounding is terrible.

    So I¡¯m here to practice with you, and you teach me how to rebound. I¡¯ve become better at rebounding, and won¡¯t it be easier for you too?  "

    Zhang Hao answered very confidently.

    Jason Williams thinks about it, it seems like this, this is the truth No, why should I help this guy train?

    "Hurry up, Kevin is practicing three-pointers, and we two are grabbing rebounds!"

    ¡°Wait a minute, when did I agree to train with you?¡±

    "do not mind the details¡­¡­"

    Although he said no, Jason Williams' body is still very honest.

    Edwards made a three-pointer, and Jason Williams roughly turned around next to Zhang Hao. He accurately judged the landing point of the rebound. When the confrontation was not advantageous, he first took advantage of the seemingly rough confrontation.  Lure Zhang Hao into a confrontation, then go to the rebound point and grab the ball.

    In the absence of other interference factors, Zhang Hao's rebound was completely blown away by Jason Williams!

    Chris Irving picked up the ball and sent it to Edwards, who was running along the three-point line. Edwards continued to take action

    Edwards completed a set of 100 three-pointers and made 78 of 100 shots. The first set he had just warmed up was another shot from a moving position. It was not a fixed-point training, so it was not bad.

    22 rebounds, two bounced out of bounds, 20 were grabbed, 16 of which were taken away by Jason Williams. Zhang Hao only grabbed 3 rebounds that were already in the best position.  And he grabbed a rebound that was faster and faster.

    At the end of a training session, Jason Williams was very proud: "What's the use of being big No, what's the use of being fast, what's the use of jumping high, what's the use of being strong, rebounding is all about your brain."  !¡±

    Very hit!

    Zhang Hao saw the trainerAfter losing to the Magic, he went on a crazy 10-game winning streak, with a record of 14 wins and 1 loss, unmatched in the limelight, and Jordan became the favorite for Player of the Month.

    But Jordan is not the only favorite. As for the Magic, with O'Neal still not coming back, they finished 15 games in November yesterday, the 28th. Anfernee Hardaway led the team to a record of 13 wins and 2 losses.  His record, averaging 27 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2.2 steals and 1 block per game is not inferior to Jordan's average of 30 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

    If Jordan wants to win the best award in the first month of the new season, he must lead the team to a better record than the Magic.

    Unlike the Bulls, there was some negative news about the Nets today.

    It came very suddenly and unexpectedly, but they inexplicably became the object of speculation in several media.

    Due to the large number of bad teams this season, the records of the teams competing in the Eastern and Western playoffs are relatively good. Like last season, the 50% winning rate in the Eastern Conference will definitely make the playoffs. This season, there is a high probability that  Can't see anymore.

    The Nets, which have no ball market and a remote location, cannot attract stars to join. Their record is on the edge of the playoffs, neither good nor bad. They have been regarded as a negative example by several media outlets in Pennsylvania, New York, and Illinois¡ª¡ª  The most clueless management ever.

    Duncan is too hot. He has become so hot just one month into his junior season. Even Zhang Hao, who knows how strong Duncan is, finds it strange.

    Zhang Hao found it even more baffling that his team had somehow become a negative example for the sports media in several states around New Jersey.

    I always feel like something is wrong, but I don¡¯t know what is wrong.

    On the 29th, Zhang Hao and his teammates prepared for the Bulls under the guidance of the coaching staff.

    No matter what the public opinion is, Zhang Hao and his teammates will definitely try their best to win every game. Even if they do not make the playoffs in the end, if their record is good, it will be beneficial to them in getting a contract.

    Even if he becomes a trading chip, he will receive more opportunities when he goes to a new team than a player who has played for a year on a completely bad team.

    Generally speaking, the main players of their Nets team have their own characteristics. PJ Brown is good at assisting defense and has strong athletic ability.

    Jason Williams has top rebounding ability.

    Kenny Anderson is an All-Star, and Childs is good at organizing offense, defense, and pick-and-roll.

    Even Graham has the potential to wander in the NBA for many years. This is not bad. Even if he wanders around NBA teams with a basic salary, he is definitely among the top basketball players in the world.

    During today¡¯s training, Zhang Hao found that the head coach often ran to the boss¡¯s office and the general manager¡¯s office. The boss came today and seemed very busy.

    Zhang Hao feels that these things are not important.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because the public opinion is not very good, our football market is average, and the boss is anxious¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Nets¡¯ first regular season game of the new season is sold out!

    In the previous game after returning from the opener away from home, relying on Zhang Hao's enthusiasm for breaking Chamberlain's debut scoring record, the Nets' home game tickets were not sold out, and there were still more than 200 tickets left.

    When the Bulls came this time, all the tickets were sold out yesterday.

    Moreover, the cheers when the visiting team players entered the stadium were significantly higher than those of the Nets players at home!

    "The home game has changed to the away game This feeling makes Zhang Hao unhappy!"

    What¡¯s even more unpleasant is that today, the winning rate may drop below 50%.

    I really want to win!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s mentality of extremely eager to win easily infected his teammates, and after this emotion appeared in the hearts of his teammates, it was quickly strengthened.

    I really want to win!

    Just the thought of defeating a nearly invincible team that had won 10 consecutive victories made their blood boil!

    The pressure that the Bulls' tyrannical strength has brought to the Nets players has been greatly alleviated in this mood.

    But this opponent is indeed too strong!

    In just four game weeks, the Bulls have dispelled people's doubts and won a mighty 10-game winning streak. Among their opponents are top teams such as the SuperSonics, Spurs, Pacers, and Knicks. However,  The Bulls won both cleanly.

    In the past 10 games, the Bulls averaged 107 points per game, conceded an average of 91.4 points per game, and had an average win margin of more than 15 points per game!

    Maybe the Magic¡¯s record is no worse than that of the Bulls, and Anfernee Hardaway leads the team alone, making Anfernee Hardaway look extremely dazzling.

    But from a team perspective, more people feel that the Bulls may still be stronger. Even if O'Neal comes back, the Bulls may still be stronger.

    The Big Three combination of Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman is really too strong!

    "Michael Jordan, 32 years old, 198 cm tall, 212 cm wingspan, 100 kg weight, ability rating 105, 105 offense, 95 defense, 81 passing, 58 three-pointers (85 three-pointers in the top arc area), 100 mid-range shots  , 99 layups, 93 speed, 94 strength, 95 jumping, 96 enduranceaveraging 30 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 steals per gameaveraging 19 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game"

    "Scott Pippen, 30 years old, height 203 cm, wingspan 218 cm, weight 98 kg, ability evaluation 92, offense 89, defense 97, passing 87, three-pointer 82, mid-range shot 86, layup 92,  Speed ??91, strength 88, jumping 89averaging 5.2 points, 16.2 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks per game"

    "Dennis Rodman, 35 years old, height 201 cm, wingspan 218 cm, weight 99 kg, ability rating 79, offense 45, defense 93, rebounds 105"

    Looking at the evaluation of the opponent's Big Three abilities in the player detection system, Zhang Hao felt like his brain was exploding, it was so outrageous!

    Not only does it have strong ability evaluation and excellent data, but it also has a strong practical effect in the game!

    After playing more than ten games, Zhang Hao also learned something.

    For topKnow your presence.  "

    Jason Williams covered his heart. Looking at Zhang Hao's serious expression, he felt his heart hurt even more - as a teammate, can you not be so direct when speaking!

    Sincerity, shouldn¡¯t it be used in this place?

    However, as he had been learning to rebound according to the analytical method taught by Rodman and regarded Rodman as his idol, he felt that Zhang Hao was right

    In the past, he just thought Rodman was cool and powerful, but Rodman naturally had a filter in his eyes.

    When the filter was exposed, he discovered that, as Zhang Hao said, being shameless and annoying was one of the reasons why Rodman played so well on the court

    ¡­¡­

    Kenny Anderson, who scored 12 points in the first quarter, was replaced. He is very excited now. He led the team to catch up with the score!

    Seeing Zhang Hao taking off his training clothes and getting ready to go up, Kenny Anderson walked up, stretched out his hand, and patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "Leave it to you."

    Zhang Hao nodded and went on the court with Childs, Edwards, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown.

    Looking at the combination of Steve Kerr, Judy Buechler, Pippen, Kukoc and Wennington on the opposite side.

    This lineup, even though Jordan went to rest, is still very strong.

    But this is already one of the weakest combinations of the Bulls. After finally getting close to the point difference, Zhang Hao wants to take advantage of the absence of Jordan and Longley to overtake the score, or at least maintain the score.

    Losing is not unacceptable, but!

    Only the efforts of teammates cannot be let down!

 Chapter 100 100. This night is particularly crazy (10,000-word chapter*5, please subscribe and vote monthly)

    If it¡¯s not for anything else, it¡¯s just that I don¡¯t want to let down my teammates¡¯ efforts.

    At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Hao came up and continued to stay in the low position, hitting one first and then talking about it.

    This rookie actually moved directly to the small forward position

    Pippen felt the humiliation of being chased and beaten.

    This rookie obviously doesn¡¯t know many things, but Pippen just can¡¯t guard against it well.

    It has little interference with Zhang Hao's back-up jump shot. He can only consume Zhang Hao when Zhang Hao catches the ball, and Zhang Hao also wants to consume Pippen in turn.

    But this time, although the interference was not big, Zhang Hao failed to make a shot. He rested for most of the quarter and missed the shot when he came up.

    But, Jason Williams grabbed the offensive rebound!

    Unable to directly tip-in, Jason Williams grabbed the rebound and found Zhang Hao, who was closest to the basket, and passed the ball over.

    Zhang Hao reacted quickly and rushed inside to catch the ball. Pippen started a beat later and failed to keep up!

    Watching Zhang Hao catch the ball and jump towards Bill Wennington under the basket, Pippen felt that this guy was a scumbag!

    With such great strength, his speed is almost the same as him!

    Bill Wennington didn¡¯t even react, his vision went dark

    Zhang Hao¡¯s second attack smashed the ball into the basket through Bill Wennington!

    31 to 33!  The score difference is reduced to two points!

    There is a beautiful buckle at the top!

    Amidst the cheers that immediately erupted from the fans at the scene, Zhang Hao received a system prompt.

    "The Dunk Master (Bronze) is triggered, and the morale of the team of the special contract player Zhang Hao will rise in the next three rounds"

    Just dunk when you have the chance, and take advantage of all available conditions. If Bill Wennington had reacted to the dunk just now, with the Bulls' defensive hardness, Zhang Hao would have been pulled down, but he was uncertain.  In this case, I chose to force the buckle.

    Fortunately, the opponent did not react and completed the dunk!

    A dunk is definitely a very morale-boosting way to score goals. As soon as the teammates feel excited, this emotion is greatly strengthened.

    When the Bulls attack, the Nets' active defense is all an opportunity in Pippen's eyes, because the one guarding him is PJ Brown!

    Pippen handed the ball to Kukoc, who was raising the top arc, and made a gesture to cut inside. When he got rid of PJ Brown and rushed to the free throw line, Kukoc's return pass was just in place.

    He could choose a jump shot or a sudden score, but this time, he really couldn't calm down. Counting 4 of 6 shots in the first quarter + 2 of 2 free throws, Zhang Hao had already scored 12 points!  Zhang Hao had just dunked on his teammate. Facing Zhang Hao under the basket, Pippen took off and wanted to dunk on him!

    "Snapped"

    Zhang Hao pushed forward in time, but Pippen rushed up and could only hold on, without any energy left to take off!  Just when Pippen was about to dunk the ball into the basket, P.J. Brown, who was chasing Pippen, jumped up quickly and slapped the ball away from Pippen!

    Steve Kerr fouled while fighting for the ball with Childs. The Nets have the ball!

    This time the defensive cooperation has a surprising effect

    It's not a good idea to let PJ Brown defend Pippen from mid-to-long range, but if Zhang Hao goes out to defend, the effect won't be much better. Anyway, he can't defend well. Zhang Hao chose to squat under the basket. At least he can shoulder the impact better than PJ-Brown.  Brown is good, and it can also give pj-Brown a chance to help defend in the mid-range and short range.

    No, he completed an unexpected block without expecting Pippen to play like this.

    Furthermore, Childs actively completed the steal when Steve Kerr grabbed the ball, which also caused Steve Kerr to commit a counter-attack foul and gain the ball.

    The only pity is that Steve Kerr committed a counterattack foul and Childs failed to cooperate with Zhang Hao to launch a counterattack.

    Once again, he fell into a positional battle. This time, Zhang Hao did not continue to play from behind. It may be that after resting for a while, his hand felt cool. Now he has to take it slow and look for open shooting opportunities to develop his hand again.

    Childs and Jason Williams used a pick-and-roll, and the ball was distributed to P.J. Brown at close range from the baseline. The latter's jump shot was inconsistent and missed.

    But the active Jason Williams grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-in from Bill Wennington!

    This ball was not so much that Jason Williams was active, but rather shameless. It was different from his previous style. He had already made a move to press on Bill Wennington. Who let the ball fall?  The point is exactly where Bill Wennington was standing?  He was betting on whether the referee would blow the whistle. Fortunately, the referee didn't blow the whistle and the goal was valid!

    33 tied, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets quickly tied the score!

    &I don't want to see this young, handsome and cold face for a moment, it will affect the mood of the celebration.

    But Zhang Hao is indeed used to this expression. He was also very excited when Jordan turned over and hit a jumper to hit the buzzer beater!

    The teammates gathered around to celebrate, and Zhang Hao was "isolated", so he could act cool and go directly to the player tunnel.

    At this time, he saw Chris Irving hurriedly ran out of the tunnel and ran towards Butch Baird, who was celebrating with the players.

    Zhang Hao didn't even have time to wonder. A group of people who were not dressed as reporters but could clearly be reporters ignored the regulations of the NBA and the Press Association and rushed to the player tunnel and blocked him.

    As for why he could tell they were reporters, it was because these people were holding recorders and small notebooks

    It is not a live broadcast. Generally, there is no on-site interview after the game. There is a press conference after the game. These people look at it as temporary interviews.

    I feel a little proud that I defeated Jordan in a one-on-one match!  Killing Jordan made the media agitated!

    Thinking about the performance of the Nets tonight, I feel restless.

    At this time, Zhang Hao felt that his head was sober. The most awake moment for him was when he was showing off!

    After regaining consciousness, Zhang Hao recalled what they had accomplished tonight - giving Jordan, who had 50+ points in a single game, a defeat!

    It¡¯s crazy!

    He felt so crazy!

    "How can I show off? Ehthat's it."

    Thoughts happened in an instant. The reporter was in a mess. The person who stretched out the recorder at the front started to ask questions. The others were not busy talking. Anyway, they all asked the same questions and they all stretched out the recorder.

    The reporter at the front asked: "Akers, do you think it's crazy that you were traded after you played such a crazy game?"

    Because Zhang Hao has no expression behind his kill, people who don¡¯t know what happened will think it¡¯s cool, and people who hate him and don¡¯t know what happened will think he¡¯s a show-off, but among this group of reporters who have something to ask  In his eyes, Zhang Hao's cold attitude meant that he already knew what was going on.

    Zhang Hao, who was about to start showing off, was immersed in the joy of showing off. He didn't react at the first moment. Just when he was about to start showing off, he suddenly understood.

    "Eh? What did you say!"

    You can speak Chinese!

    Zhang Hao tilted his neck and looked at the reporters, his computer was down

 Chapter 101 101. Return to Los Angeles (10,000-word chapter*6, please subscribe and vote monthly)

    At 8:58 pm on November 30, 1995, immediately after the game between the Nets and Bulls, the NBA officially updated a transaction.

    This transaction is about the players in this game. According to the rules, if the player being traded has not yet participated in the game, after the transaction application is approved and before the transaction is officially completed, he will not be allowed to participate in the upcoming game; the player being traded  If the players are currently participating in the game, NBA officials and the team can announce the transaction only after the transaction application is approved, and the team cannot disclose the transaction to avoid affecting the emotions of the players who are playing and affecting the enjoyment of the game.

    During the NBA's free market, major media continued to pay attention to the changes in the NBA's trading window. In this age of the Internet, it has become easier. Trading is something that fans are very concerned about. There is a simple official website of the NBA.  The window updates transaction information in real time.

    Halfway through the first quarter of the game between the Nets and the Bulls, at 6:43 in the evening, the Los Angeles Lakers sent away Eddie Jones and Vlade Divac in exchange for Zhang Hao and Jason from the Nets.  -Williams.

    Immediately afterwards, the Nets reached a three-way deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and Hornets, using Kenny Anderson to acquire Sean Bradley, Kendall Gill, and Scott Burrell.

    So far this season, Jason Williams has the best rebounding performance of the Nets, averaging 10.5 rebounds in 27 minutes per game. Zhang Hao has the highest score, averaging 21.2 points per game, and the highest assists, averaging 15.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.  Kenny Anderson, who assisted, all three were sent away!

    If you don¡¯t take into account Zhang Hao¡¯s game against the Bulls, the Nets currently don¡¯t look like a team that can get a 50% winning rate, even if Zhang Hao, a rookie who exceeded expectations, is included.

    But the Nets worked very hard and actually won many games that seemed impossible to win. But even so, no one thought the Nets could make the playoffs.

    If you can't make the playoffs, you are a team in the lottery. Teams in the lottery all want high draft picks. Everyone can see that the Nets management wants to get Duncan. If they win, they will get Duncan.  hinder.

    But the Nets boss has always given the impression that he is not the kind of person who would deliberately let the team lose. He cannot deliberately lose when the team has a chance to win, so he chose a scouting director.  When he was the head coach, he chose to trade Coleman

    Now, in order to continue losing, he has traded away the three most important players who can help the team win, and has accumulated three players in the center position: P.J. Brown, Sean Bradley, and Divac.  A starting or even star-level center.

    If Zhang Hao's performance against the Bulls is not that good, or he loses by a large margin like he did in the preseason, the focus of the media and fans on this deal will be on the Lakers' blood.  , I think it¡¯s not worth it for the Lakers to do this.

    However, in the game against the Bulls, Zhang Hao made 15 of 28 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 42 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, and completed the buzzer beater over Jordan.  Helped the Nets defeat the Bulls in an upset!

    In such a game, Zhang Hao was actually traded!

    Although the chips of Ceballos + Divac, from a transaction perspective, the Nets also gave away Jason Williams, which seems to be not a loss. Even from the current transaction value, the Nets  The team made a profit, Divac averaged 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists per game last season, All-Star level, Ceballos, All-Star last season.

    But after Zhang Hao performed like this in the game against the Bulls, public opinion was not one-sided in saying that the Lakers lost!

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s night, in the luxurious suite of the Hilton Hotel in Jersey City.

    "cheers¡­¡­"

    The logo man, Kupchak, and Jim Bass toasted in celebration.

    On the 28th, they stepped up their efforts to promote Duncan because they felt the time had come.

    However, when negotiating with the Nets, Nets head coach Butch Baird reacted fiercely, and the transaction was blocked for a time.

    It is true that Ceballos is not enough to impress the Nets, and neither is Eddie Jones.

    But in the end when they replaced Ceballos with Divac, everything went smoothly.

    Kupchak sighed and said: "Jerry, originally I thought we would be scolded badly by the fans when we went back after completing this transaction, but now we may not be scolded so badly."

    The logo man smiled and said: "Be prepared to be scolded. Without Eddie and Vlad, our record will definitely decline."

    Jim Bass said promptly: "Just say it was my idea and point the fans' guns at me."

    The logo man and Kupchak looked at each other - couldn't they tell what the boss's silly son was thinking?

    &??¡±

    "How long have you been training today?"

    "After exercising my body, I have been training for more than 30 minutes. I have practiced 6 sets of shooting. I have almost 6 minutes of rest time after each set of shooting training and training. Now I have just completed one set of shooting training."

    "A group?"

    "Yes, I usually do 6 sets of training on non-match days when I am at home."

    "" The logo man was silent for a moment: "Your habits are very good, and your hard work is also very good, but we need to discuss a more reasonable and scientific training intensity.

    Let¡¯s finish today¡¯s training here. We still have a lot of work to do today. Come on, let¡¯s measure the height and weight first.  "

    Zhang Hao nodded. He also knew that he came to train early mainly because he wanted to move his body. If there is a test later, he can perform better.

    ¡°Also, it is necessary to show your hard work. This is the easiest way for athletes to impress people.

    ¡­¡­

    207 centimeters?

    Zhang Hao opened the system¡¯s basic information column for special contracted players, it¡¯s true!

    ¡°I didn¡¯t notice that I had grown a little taller, and my wingspan reached 218 centimeters.

    Playing power forward is already a very good static physical condition. Half a year ago, even if the logo man took a fancy to Zhang Hao, he ignored the fact that Zhang Hao might continue to grow taller.

    Immediately afterwards, while Zhang Hao¡¯s body was already moving, the logo man asked the trainer to test Zhang Hao¡¯s athletic ability.

    After the test, the logo man looked at the physical test report that amazed the trainer. He returned to his office and closed the door The cleaner passing by outside heard the crazy shouting coming from the general manager's office.

    The 40-year-old cleaning lady was startled: "I can't tell that the general manager is still so passionate at his age Wait, his secretary seems to be a man? His name seems to be Mickey?"

    The cleaning lady was so frightened that she quickly left.

    In the office, the logo man calmed down after shouting several times.

    "No, what is going on? Is the owner of the Nets blind? How could he agree to the trade? Why? Let's have a physical examination first, but Akers doesn't seem to have any physical problems"

    The logo man is very confused, Nets general manager Max is also confused, and former head coach Butch Baird is equally confused. How can they know that the Nets boss has not read the Zhang Hao¡¯s physical test report they submitted?  Never watched any of Zhang Hao¡¯s games?

    On the other side, Zhang Hao, who had just finished the physical test, was a little melancholy - "What if I keep growing longer? Then I have to play center against O'Neal Eh? Didn't I become a Lakers player? Just keep growing longer.  , I am fearless

    O¡¯Neal will come next season, right?

    Wait, the Lakers traded me for Divac?  What about Kobe?

    What to do with the ok combination?

    Has it become a combination of Remy and Horse?  "

 Chapter 102 102. This is not a multiple-choice question (10,000-word chapter*7, please subscribe and vote monthly)

    December 2, 10 a.m., Time Warner Arena conference room.

    Jeanie Buss got home and slept for less than an hour when she received a call from the director of the team's operations department. She was originally upset to be disturbed in her sleep, but after hearing what happened, she immediately cheered up, collected and analyzed information.  ,think¡­¡­

    Then he quickly called all the team management personnel who needed to make a joint decision to the training hall for a meeting.

    After everyone arrived, Jenny Buss briefly stated the topic of the meeting: "I received an invitation from Starbucks, and they are interested in sponsoring us."

    Jim Bass responded: "Jenny, can't you just decide on this matter? The boss has given all the power to you."

    Except for second lady Jenny Buss, all five young ladies from the Lakers came to the arena.

    Joey Buss is cooperating with the NBA official plan to establish a new league nbdl, Johnny Buss is preparing to establish the Los Angeles Sparks, Jim Buss is Jenny Buss¡¯ competitor, and the young master Josie Buss is the ball  Intern in the team operations department.

    Jenny Buss is responsible for the commercial development of the Lakers and the "First Ticket" sports channel jointly created by the Lakers and Time Warner Cable Sports that specializes in broadcasting Lakers games. She has the highest management authority of the team except Jerry Buss.

    The competition between Jenny Buss and Jim Buss has long been on the table within the team, and others are not surprised at all by Jim Buss¡¯s harsh and sour tone.

    Jenny Buss is also used to it and responded: "But they have conditions."

    "Conditions" the logo man took over, "I remember that Ax is a partner of Starbucks, so it should be a condition related to him."

    After glancing at the man with the logo, Jenny Buss quickly softened her gaze and responded: "Yes, they have put forward a condition that requires the consent of Jerry and Del. Among them, Del's opinion is the most important. If you  If we don¡¯t agree, we can refuse to accept sponsorship from Starbucks.¡±

    Del Harris, who had been agitated since the night before, suddenly thought - What's wrong with me?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of nowhere, Del Harris doesn¡¯t know how the decision-making power on whether to accept sponsorship or not actually fell to him, the head coach with the lowest status in the game?

    Others were also surprised. Originally, Jenny Bass called them here, and they thought that the boss's most valued eldest lady had some trouble for them to deal with.

    It does seem to be troublesome, but it is not them who are in trouble. They look at their team's head coach as if they are watching a good show.

    Del Harris bit the bullet and said: "If there is anything I need to do, I will try my best to cooperate with the team."

    Jenny Bass said: "Starbucks has put forward two conditions. If we agree, we can then start negotiating with them. The first condition is the duration of the sponsorship. Only when Akers is on our team will they give it  We provide sponsorship, and if you trade Akers away, Jerry, the sponsorship will cease."

    Jerry West nodded and responded: "There is no problem with this condition. The reason why they are willing to sponsor us should be that we trade Akers back. Then the second condition is"

    ????????????????????????????????Jerry West glanced at poor Del Harris.

    Jenny Buss continued: "The second condition is that Akers must start and guarantee playing time."

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Seeing that Del Harris, who looked so bad, was conducting technical tests for Zhang Hao, Kupchak on the sidelines of the training ground couldn't help but laugh out loud and said to the logo man next to him: "Do you think Akers can do it?"  Will he be targeted by Del? Del likes Vlad very much."

    "I also like centers like Vlad, but there is no way. No matter how blind the Nets are, they will not want Cedric. Eddie alone cannot replace Akers so that he can get more than every game.  15 points for a rookie big man.¡±

    "The most troublesome thing is that Del has not been in contact with Akers and does not know how good Akers is, but he is forced by the eldest lady to give Akers a starting position and stable playing time. He probably has already lost his impression of Akers.  It¡¯s extremely bad¡­¡±

    "Jenny is so strong, but she is really outstanding."

    "When we decided to send Vlad away, we predicted that Del would be dissatisfied. But we didn't expect that when Akers came, a listed company sponsor would become his backstage. Jerry, do you think this is a good thing?"

    "Maybe, at least we don't have to discuss Akers' playing time with Del. Jenny helped us figure it out. Jason Williams is coming soon. He rebounds well. This salary-matching addition can supplement us.  Depth inside."

    ¡°I prefer Kenny Anderson.¡±

    &nbspThere is no time to prepare. For the first game after the transaction, you can basically only rely on on-the-spot performance.

    And the opponent is the Pacers again!

    The Pacers have also played 15 games, with a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.

    If it were before, the Lakers were completely worthy of the Pacers. Although they could win or lose, they were worthy of strength.

    If Zhang Hao is still with the Nets, winning or losing will not fundamentally affect his special status in the team.

    But now, the team he is on is no longer a team that is happy when it wins and keeps working hard when it loses, with no goals and little pressure and everything is simple, but a team with terrible fans; and the Lakers themselves,  And because of his addition, they lost a quasi-All-Star center and a first-rate star outsider.

    Putting aside the matter of learning from the team's famous center, if he doesn't perform well in his first game with the Lakers Zhang Hao feels that he will be sprayed by the fans!

    How scary Lakers fans arereally not so scary!

 Chapter 103 103. It only takes one ball to make them cheer (10,000-word chapter*8, please subscribe and vote monthly)

    At 11:15 noon on December 3, 1995, the Lakers held a press conference at the Great Western Forum Arena to officially announce the joining of Zhang Hao and Jason Williams.

    The logo man was dealing with the media¡¯s tricky questions at the press conference. Zhang Hao, who was waiting to appear, felt a rare nervousness during the interview.

    Before the start of training this morning, from 7:30 to 8:30, he accepted exclusive interviews with Chaotingdai and Xinhua News Agency. It was very relaxed. The domestic media were very excited about him joining a big city team like the Lakers. He won  The treatment is wonderful.

    However, now listening to the bickering between the logo man and the reporter, Zhang Hao knew that on the first day he officially joined the Lakers, he would begin to experience dire straits.

    As for Jason Williams, there is no pressure at all in this regard. As far as public opinion is concerned, he is just the addition to Zhang Hao's deal, the one who matches the salary.

    Just like Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know Jason Williams was so good at rebounding before he came to the Nets, even though he averaged 5.7 rebounds in 13 minutes per game last season, his rebounding didn¡¯t make him famous among fans.

    Fans will not blame Jason Williams for losing Eddie Jones and Divac at all. He naturally has no pressure.

    Zhang Hao guessed that if the fans really blame Jason Williams, not only will this guy not feel uneasy, he will probably be very proud

    "Yes! Why should I feel pressure? The Lakers traded me with such chips. I should be happy that they value me so much.

    It¡¯s because they value me that they agreed to Schultz¡¯s request. Otherwise, the Bass family wouldn¡¯t have promised me a starting spot and at least 24 minutes of playing time just because of the sponsorship fee

    The media doesn¡¯t need to worry about them, but the fans people spend money to watch the game, and they have to play well, otherwise they will be sorry for their conscience

    However, should this interview be kept low-key?  This is not New Jersey. Being low-key would be seen as weakness"

    The logo man is very capable of quarrels. After dealing with the reporters who were the most quarrelsome, he began to introduce the two new players: "I am very grateful to Vlad and Eddie for their contribution to the Lakers. They are the key to the revival of the Lakers."  A very important part of the team. It's a pity that we can't continue to cooperate. We should also look forward. I'm very happy to have Aix and Jason join. The abilities they showed in the game make me extremely eager to get them. Today, they  Finally becoming a part of the Lakers."

    Hearing this, Zhang Hao and Jason Williams walked into the press conference together.

    The huge interview hall is full of cameras, videographers and reporters from all major media.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ????????????????????????????????: They are all first-tier media, and the second-tier media are not qualified to come in.

    This hostile atmosphere is no less hostile than the hostility of 20,000 people in an away game!

    The microphones and cameras in their hands are no different from spears and cannons.

    Zhang Hao still chose the No. 8 jersey, and Jason Williams also chose the No. 55 jersey he wore with the 76ers and Nets.

    The two of them sat down, and the logo man turned off the microphone in front of him. He reduced the reporters' arrogance, but the one who really had to face the reporters was Zhang Hao himself.

    As for Jason Williams probably no one cares.

    Zhang Hao sat down and the questions started immediately.

    The first question is relatively simple: "Zhang, why did you choose the No. 8 jersey?"

    ¡°Someone has asked me this question before. Maybe you don¡¯t know, so let me say it again. This time I can say it again with more confidence.

    Because I was the 9th pick, I really wanted to figure out why there were 8 players ahead of me who were drafted before me.  "

    Jason Williams and the logo man next to him were very surprised by this answer. They were aware of Zhang Hao's strong confidence, but they had never seen him so high-profile.

    Jason Williams knows that Zhang Hao has a melancholic personality. He doesn't like to talk except for professional basketball matters, and he likes to use practical actions to be high-profile during games.

    The logo man also learned this through investigation and observation.

    The same goes for reporters. They don¡¯t really have any hostility towards Zhang Haoperhaps they are biased because of skin color, nationality and other reasons. But they target Zhang Hao and make no secret of their hostility towards Zhang Hao, mainly because Zhang Hao is now in a  At the top of the limelight, a popular team like the Lakers exchanged two quasi-All-Star players for him. The popularity is high. In the end, they are just here to ride on the popularity.

    Since you want to gain popularity, you must conduct careful research in order to accurately gain popularity and generate topics.

    Before they could fire, Zhang Hao pulled the trigger first!

    But it¡¯s easy to handle this way, let¡¯s get started!

    &nbsThe guy who ranks seventh in the league in offense is a bit unique, and his awareness of organizing offense is average, but his passing accuracy is very good!

    Zhang Hao rushed into the three-point line and just received the ball. He took one step and then took three big steps. He held the ball in his left hand and took off outside the reasonable collision area with one step, and smashed into the basket with one hand!

    This time, the fans at the scene were ready to boo, but they had no time to boo, and it turned into a chorus of exclamations!

    From Zhang Hao grabbing the rebound and passing it to Van Exel to dunking in the frontcourt, it only took 4 seconds!  This sprint speed is too exaggerated!  Three and a half seconds at most!

    Many players on the Lakers team's eyes widened - the last time this guy beat them, the Lakers had never seen such a move!  Wait, it seems that their head coach asked them to guard this guy to death last time It turns out that the home coach has already disliked this guy But why did he let this guy start again?

    The Lakers players didn¡¯t understand what was going on, and at this time, sporadic cheers began to appear on the scene!

    Zhang Hao's side - "I finally stopped booing, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it"

    Open your left hand and put it behind your ear, making a listening gesture.

    The fans at the scene wanted to boo when they saw this scene, but the counterattack just now was so amazing!  It's so fast that people can't help but marvel.

    Since we don¡¯t want to boo this time and the newcomer is playing well, let¡¯s cheer!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 104 104. It turns out that completing the task can be so simple (10,000-word chapter*9, please subscribe and vote monthly)

    "The dunk master (bronze) is triggered, and the morale of Zhang Hao's team will rise greatly in the next three rounds."

    Pretending is like the wind, always with me

    Reggie Miller ran back to receive the serve. I was not surprised to see Zhang Hao showing off like this.

    This guy is a pretender who dares to turn around and celebrate after the buzzer-beating ball is thrown and before he scores a goal.

    The Pacers players were not surprised by Zhang Hao's counterattack. They had an impressive game this season, and even the most impressive game so far this season, which was the previous game against the Nets.

    One person¡¯s fast break, one person¡¯s loneliness, Zhang Hao returned to the backcourt lonely.

    "Aix!"

    Van Exel shouted Zhang Hao¡¯s English name excitedly and rushed forward with his hands stretched out.

    Zhang Hao reached out and high-fived Van Exel in celebration.

    Returning to the basket and waiting for Reggie Miller to advance slowly, Zhang Hao suddenly thought of something - "It seems that there were people who often rushed up to me when I was in the Nets No, there shouldn't be. Boss Kenny should be one."  A reserved person.¡±

    At this time, Reggie Miller had already advanced, Zhang Hao put his thoughts aside and protected the frame.

    In this attack, Zhang Hao clearly felt that the opponent's players were moving more clearly. He didn't know when the opponent made adjustments, but that was not important. Zhang Hao quickly analyzed the opponent's movements

    When Reggie Miller was looking for Antonio Davis to pick and roll, Zhang Hao shouted: "Just press up"

    Anthony Peeler and Jason Williams, who were switching to the other side's pick-and-roll, didn't react at once. Reggie Miller had already set up the pick-and-roll and directly took a step forward to use Antonio Davis as a cannon, and hit a three-pointer from behind.  Biao shot!

    This ball, Zhang Hao reminded, was a little slow. Even if the two reacted, they would not be able to catch up. They had to prepare to move in advance. Reggie Miller planned to attack like this from the beginning, and his shots were decisive and accurate!

    Reggie Miller hit a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll!

    18 to 16, the Pacers lead by two points again!

    Zhang Hao immediately saw a "0 to 1" three-point shooting ratio.

    The Pacers retreated quickly. When Reggie Miller took action, others began to retreat. Dale Davis knew very well how good Zhang Hao's static strength was, and they also concentrated on blocking the position to grab the board. Antonio -  Davis is outside again.

    This strict defensive discipline is really difficult to deal with.

    Zhang Hao quickly ran to the frontcourt and hesitated when he saw Van Exel advancing.

    In less than 8 minutes in the first quarter, Van Exel has already made three three-pointers, none of which were successful.

    Fan Mado, a pure wave of pure waves but no nerve knife, has a low probability of explosive performance. After continuously, the more unconfident probability is the more unconfident.

    During the rotation phase, Divac should have led the team, with Eddie Jones assisting from the outside In Zhang Hao's opinion, Ceballos should be on the court at this time, and three ball-holding attack points should be arranged from the outside.

    Seeing that Van Exel suddenly stopped moving and hesitated for a long time before preparing to force the shot, Zhang Hao stopped moving in the middle distance on the left side of the three-second zone, leaned against Antonio Davis, and shouted at Van Exel: "  Nick, give me the ball!"

    Van Exel was stunned for a moment and immediately uploaded it.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Canadian," made," made, $5,000.

    "The other two Lakers players on the court were thinking - this rookie actually yelled at Van Exel to pass the ball Damn it!  It was actually passed on!

    This is the third time Zhang Hao has received the ball in this game besides grabbing rebounds. The first time was a catch-and-shoot jumper. The fans at the scene were booing him, but he did not make the shot. The second time was a counterattack dunk, and the fans at the scene had no time to boo.  , it turned into an exclamation.

    This time, the scene was quiet.

    Zhang Hao moved to the high position, and the one who expanded to defend was Antonio Davis, who was more mobile. The Pacers' defense was very layered and coordinated very well. The defenders in the top arc area defended and Reggie Rice made three-pointers from the side  When chasing, Antonio Davis defends in the mid-range, and Dale Davis is at the basket, who can make up for the short-range or even mid-range.

    But the high post shot is a static attack. The Lakers players stopped and the Pacers players also stopped.

    This group of people actually stood and watched!  Zhang Hao had no choice but to push forward with all his strength

    From the TV commentators, to the Lakers bench, to the fans at the scene, everyone had a thought in their minds - what does this rookie want to do?

    Too late to disperseHouston is definitely not interested. He knows that the logo man's target is O'Neal, and it is impossible to use the salary space on Alan Houston. To sign O'Neal, the starting salary will be at least 10 million, and the total salary cap is more than 20 million.

    "I guess the Knicks, a team with stupid people and lots of money, will give them a bigger contract"

    ¡­¡­

    A team like the Lakers, which has a lot of personnel turnover during non-championship periods, adapts very quickly to the addition of new players and has a strong ability to accept them.

    Zhang Hao found that the problems he had were worrying for nothing.

    As long as he shows his excellent off-ball ability and plug-and-play characteristics, his new teammates will not be so repulsive to him.

    This is even more true when he shows his talent in passing. Players such as Campbell, Fred Roberts, and Sadler Slater who have weak independent offensive ability and poor running ability will not be able to do anything when he shows his passing ability.  After showing off his talent for football, there was much less rejection of him.

    ¡°Integrating into the game is smoother than I thought. As long as the coach is not crazy, I have playing time, I can adapt to a variety of offensive methods, and I can have a chemical reaction with my teammates, it should be no problem.

    But with such a team, it will be more difficult to get along with anyone, right?  "

    After arriving in San Antonio, Zhang Hao was "abandoned" by his teammates. Even Jason Williams stopped coming to play with Zhang Hao.

    In this place, there are Cuban models, Hispanic nightclub girls We grabbed a lot of them, and all our teammates went out to hang out.

    Zhang Hao, who felt that the device was useless, could only work hard and continue to study the video.

    By the early morning of the next day, Zhang Hao began to devote himself to training to simulate "running rhythm".

    Zhang Hao found this training very interesting. During the simulated training process, the system will prompt when to speed up, when to slow down, and wait for others to move over. You can take the opportunity to borrow The two parties in the simulated training are the Lakers.  and the previous game's opponent, the Pacers.

    The process is quite interesting, but the fundamental way of learning is still rote memorization until the brain can subconsciously issue instructions.

    ??The regret is that there were no training tips during the running training when preparing for the game on the morning of the game against the Spurs.

    In the content of the training, Zhang Hao clearly felt that the importance of his tactical role had increased. Compared with Randy Whitman's caution, Del Harris was very direct, and Zhang Hao's ability to receive passes was directly included in the tactics.

    "This is also confidence in the strength of the players. The Lakers players are stronger and it is easier to adjust tactics"

    ¡­¡­

    ??There is not much time to prepare for the game. This is the regular season. After one game, there is another game.

    At 7:30 in the evening, the Lakers' away game against the Spurs started.

    This time, what Zhang Hao was worried about happened. Without Divac, facing David Robinson, their inside line was powerless to fight back!

    David Robinson moved to the mid-range to face the frame for singles. Zhang Hao didn't defend well. When Campbell defended, he couldn't even keep up with the basics.

    Spurs head coach Bobo Hill¡¯s command is appropriate, David Robinson is extremely fierce, and the Spurs team is strong

    The Lakers suffered a bloody massacre!

    ? Personally, Zhang Hao once again learned what it means to be a ¡°popular rookie being targeted¡±!

    He made 5 of 15 shots from the field. Although he scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block and 4 turnovers, his shooting percentage was only 33%.

    It is really difficult for Zhang Hao to deal with the bad taste of these superstar insiders. He was taught a lesson when he met Malone last time and David Robinson this time.

    Not to mention Zhang Hao, Ceballos, the strongest star of the Lakers, was defeated when he encountered the Spurs inside. Although he was still brave, he only succeeded in 11 shots, 4 of 11 shots, 8 of 11 free throws, and scored 16 points.  7 boards.

    The score was 18-31 in the first quarter, 20-24 in the second quarter, 27-34 in the third quarter, and even in garbage time, they lost 24-28.

    In the end, the Lakers lost to the Spurs 89-117!

    After defeating the Lakers, the Spurs overtook the Jazz and rushed to second place in the Western Conference with a record of 12 wins and 4 losses.

    The Lakers continue to be ranked fourth in the Western Conference, watching the SuperSonics, Spurs, and Jazz compete for the top three.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After the game against the Spurs, Zhang Hao flew back to Los Angeles with the team.

    On the plane, Jason Williams, who was next to Zhang Hao, was looking at the morning paper and frantically dissing the media.

    "Akers, look at those reporters farting again. They blame you for our loss to the Spurs."

    "Oh my god, they said you were just lucky that time you played against the Pacers. Didn't they look at your previous performance?"

    "Why didn't you react at all? Those people inexplicably put all the responsibility on you!"

    Looking at Jason Williams¡¯ indignant look, Zhang Hao recalled that a month ago, this guy didn¡¯t like him very much. Is this the so-called old friend from a foreign land?

    It¡¯s not quite accurate, but Zhang Hao thinks that¡¯s what it means.

    "Jason."

    "Huh? Do you finally want to scold those reporters?"

    "No, I'm a little unwilling."

    "Not willing to give in? Why are you unwilling to give in? The coach seems to dislike you so much, but he still gives you playing time and opportunities."

    ¡°But the role the two of us played in the game was not as strong as Divac and Jones.¡±

    "God, you are good enough. How many years has Divac played? How many years have you only played? He was not even worthy of lifting your shoes during his rookie season. I am far behind Jones, but you will be good soon."  Better than Divac."

    "Can you not have such a clear understanding of yourself"

    "My mother once said that as a person, you must be able to recognize yourself.bsp; Zhang Hao received the ball and ignored Dumas, who had a very good defensive movement rhythm. He was very decisive this time. He planned to shoot a three-pointer from the beginning and shot a shot-put three-pointer

    Missed!

    The Lakers retreated quickly.

    ?The next Grant Hill's open ball failed to score two points.

    Looking back, Zhang Hao once again received the ball through the pick-and-roll in the top arc. When he received the ball, the Pistons players under the basket had already begun to get stuck. Zhang Hao sent a through pass to Ceballos, who was blocked at close range.  In his hands, Ceballos turned around and hit the board with a high throw!

    10 to 15, the Lakers clung to the score.

    When the Pistons attacked, Grant Hill, who had rested for two rounds, took over the ball. He felt that the situation of the game was gradually changing and he had to stabilize his current advantage.

    The pick-and-roll was no longer needed. Grant Hill made a drastic cross-step change. Ceballos jumped on the street decisively. Grant Hill accelerated quickly to close range and hit the throw!

    quick!

    Fierce!

    This ball gave Zhang Hao the feeling of being under the basket!  So sharp.

    It¡¯s time for the Lakers to attack again. The Lakers still played the same style as in the first two rounds. Zhang Hao went to the high post to catch the ball.

    After receiving the ball, Zhang Hao quickly decided to shoot or pass No!

    Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Hao took the ball in the pick-and-roll and decisively inserted the ball from the middle!

    This choice was unexpected by others on the court, and the Lakers did not expect it. Zhang Hao rushed to the free throw line, and Grant Hill under the basket only reacted.

    When Grant Hill bypassed Ceballos to make up for it, Zhang Hao was already outside the reasonable collision zone!

    When Grant Hill approached Zhang Hao, he protected the ball with his left hand, raised the ball with his right hand, and forced to take off!

    Grant Hill bypassed Ceballos and came up, unable to withstand Zhang Hao's impact. Zhang Hao squeezed Grant Hill and jumped up to smash the ball into the basket!

 Chapter 106 Is there anyone who can¡¯t get 106.40+ if it¡¯s so simple?  (10,000-word chapter*11, please subscribe and vote monthly)

    When Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket, the referee's whistle sounded and Grant Hill blocked the foul.

    The goal is valid and a penalty will be added.

    "Nice!"

    The vision of judging opportunities, judgment of the opponent's defensive movement, and judgment on your own have extremely self -confidence and decisive execution of ideas 

    The logo man behind the bench once again saw a lot of talent in Zhang Hao, and the talent has already been reflected in the game!  As long as the opportunity arises, this talented high school student will fulfill his talent!

    Hearing the cheers from the fans at the scene, the logo man believed that this stage would eventually belong to Zhang Hao.

    "I really made a mistake this time, and it turned out to be even better than I expected. Aix partnered with that guy When I saw it, who dared to say that I made this deal after drowning in the Pacific!"

    On the court, after Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket, Grant Hill took two steps back and couldn't stop shaking his head after standing still.

    He did commit a foul on this ball. Dumas, who was so fast as Zhang Hao on the outside, was too late to catch up in the first place, and he was so powerful!  He really couldn't stop Zhang Hao who was charging at full speed.

    "But if I rush forward, he can interfere with me I obviously look stronger than him This guy definitely concealed his weight!"

    Watching Zhang Hao walk to the free throw line expressionlessly after dunking to prepare for extra penalties, Grant Hill felt that this guy really deserved a beating.

    He is obviously a rookie, but he is so pretentious.

    Even if the relationship is good, I still want to beat him!

    As Zhang Hao walked to the free throw line, he felt like someone wanted to slap his handsome face again - forget it, he's used to it, there's nothing he can do if he's too handsome.

    Adjust your breathing and hit the extra penalty!

    After Zhang Hao made a free throw, the Lakers retreated quickly and became more active.

    Just now, Zhang Hao dunked Grant Hill to trigger the "Dunk Master". In the next three rounds, his morale soared and his enthusiasm increased significantly.

    Although the Pistons scored two goals in the next four rounds and their defense was not good, the Lakers also scored two goals themselves!

    By the time of the official timeout at 6 minutes and 44 seconds of the first quarter, the Lakers were only 4 points behind, 13-17!

    Although they failed to take the lead, they held on to the score. The Lakers stopped their early decline and finally began to play the offensive level they should have.

    Van Exel's long-range shots and passes, Zhang Hao's high-post shots and high-low splits, Anthony Pillar's catch-and-shoot shots, and Ceballos and Jason Williams' offensive rebounds are great.  of combined together.

    The current playing style of the Lakers is the adjustment made by Del Harris after analyzing the playing style of the Nets and combining it with the configuration of his own team, but he did not say it clearly.

    ? 4 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists Zhang Hao looked at his data and it didn't look like an inside post, but for a long time in the past half quarter, he was playing center on the defensive end.

    He's getting better and better at positioning. When he was with the Nets, he was thinking about how to help Jason Williams, the team's best rebounder, in rebounding.  He needed to study and practice hard, and when he didn't have time to observe the shooting patterns of his opponents and teammates, he chose the method of rebounding to ensure his landing point + blocking positions for his teammates.

    Now it¡¯s on the Lakers and it¡¯s used.

    Seeing Zhang Hao walking back to the bench, Del Harris said: "Akers, please rest for a while."

    Then he ignored him.

    Zhang Hao nodded, not sure if the other party saw it.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbps out out???

    " He said he didn't care. Zhang Hao's mouth was open as his head was covered by the training uniform, but when he stretched out his head, his face returned to his expressionless look.

    At the beginning, the fans at the scene were quite disappointed with Zhang Hao's performance tonight.

    Lakers fans are quite strange. When they didn¡¯t like Zhang Hao, they would criticize Zhang Hao whenever he didn¡¯t perform well and would expel Zhang Hao from the Lakers.

    But when I want to see a player who can surpass Grant Hill, I am full of expectations for Zhang Hao.

    But as the game continued, the fans at the scene were infected by Zhang Hao's strong personal charm on the court.

    I really want to talk about how well Zhang Hao played In addition to protecting the frame on the defensive end, he was beaten every time he switched to Grant Hill.

    In terms of shooting, 2 of 5 shots are not good.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s influence on the game can be seen with the naked eye. As long as Zhang Hao plays firmly, even if he is playing iron, he will have a full sense of presence.

    Looking at Zhang Hao calmlyTeam, in order to deal with O'Neal, Elden has to stay.  "

    "Oh, I forgot about this. That guy O'Neal is a monster. Have you heard? Stern is going to hold an NBA 50th anniversary celebration and select 50 stars in NBA history. O'Neal has only played less than 4 games.  In the year, I was selected into the candidate list.¡±

    "This is really an exaggeration By the way, Akers is only suitable for defending the basket now because he is still young, right? We can focus on adding help defense training to his training to strengthen his perimeter  Defense.¡±

    "Akers does have very good outside defensive talent. His movement is actually pretty good, and his judgment of the opponent's offensive line is also very good. It's a pity that his experience is too poor."

    "It doesn't matter, we have time, do you think it would be okay to let James teach Akers defense?"

    "Misplaced defense? This seems good. James' mismatched defense in the Finals eight years ago could be compared with Rodman's"

    ¡°Then leave this matter to me.¡±

    After leaving Del Harris¡¯ office, the logo man was not in a hurry to go home. He simply stayed at a nearby hotel in the middle of the night.

    Help Zhang Hao find James Worthy as a trainer. This must be done, but trading Campbell cannot be done. Then we have to find other ways

    On the other side, after Zhang Hao entered the learning mode, he first reviewed the game against the Pistons. Combined with the tactical adjustments made by the coaching staff before the game, he carefully analyzed their latest cooperation on the offensive end.

    Del Harris¡¯s intention to adjust tactics is actually very clear, but it is impossible to directly say that the main force will attack. Taking too big a step will cause trouble

    "Campbell has already understood that the team is going to attack? This kind of thing is not conducive to his performance, right? Why would he remind me to focus on using my strengths in the game?"

    Zhang Hao knows that he can greatly speed up Del Harris's tactical transformation process, largely due to Campbell's reminder.

    If you don¡¯t understand something, don¡¯t think about it first. Don¡¯t waste time.

    It took half an hour to re-watch the parts of the game against the Pistons that he wanted to watch. The game review was almost complete. He also had clear goals for the adjustments he needed to make on the offensive end.

    "Although I still feel reluctant to part with the Nets, the Lakers' coaching staff is really amazing. It cannot be compared to a makeshift coaching staff. They have considered things much more comprehensively than I have, and they are more forward-looking."

    Zhang Hao shook his head and turned on the subtitles.

    ¡°The remaining life is 512 days and the available life is 511 days.

    Lucky Draw Chance: Bronze level lucky draw chance once.  "

    Last night, I scored 40 points, the highest in the game, and received a basic reward of 15 lives, 9 points higher than the second-scoring player. I received an additional 9 days of life, plus 5 days of life bonus for winning, making my life span exceed 500 days in one fell swoop!

    Originally, he thought that after playing this month, he would only be able to get to 500 days. Because each game has to be replayed and the natural life span is consumed every day, even if the Lakers are stronger than the Nets, it will still take a while.  Only 500 days can be collected.

    "Three 40+ times It will probably be harder and harder to get high scores in the future. Opponents will definitely pay more and more attention to me. It seems that two of my three 40+ times were against the Pistons" Zhang Hao  He sighed: "I really want to play Hill every day in 82 games a year."

    As soon as I thought about it, I decided to draw a lottery!

    "The host will use the Bronze Lottery, which consumes 30 days of life. Since it is the first time for the host to use the Bronze Lottery, it will receive an additional Bronze-level reward during the lottery. You can choose the reward * 2 or randomly obtain other rewards. Do you want to use the Lottery?"

    "Reward*2 If you draw two identical medals, it will be a waste There should be additional rewards in the silver lottery and gold lottery in the future. Let's test the water first Confirm the lottery and ask for two different rewards!  "

    After confirmation, the subtitles automatically switched to the remaining life interface, and the life span quickly counted down, from 512 days to 482 days.

    This scene made Zhang Hao so heartbroken that he couldn¡¯t breathe

    "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Bronze Medal Upgrade Card*1 and the Special Card: Function Repair Card (Bronze)*1."

    ¡°Bronze medal upgrade card: After use, a bronze medal can be upgraded to a silver medal.

    Functional Repair (Bronze): Can be used when a player contracted by the host encounters a general injury, and will quickly restore health.  Note: If the injury or illness exceeds the normal limit, the corresponding life expectancy payment will be required.  "

    Looking at these two rewards, Zhang Hao felt very good.

    only¡­¡­

    "What the hell! Why don't I want repeated rewards, medal upgrade cards? Functional repair cards are also very good. What I'm most afraid of is getting injured and not being able to play the game!"

    With great difficulty, Zhang Hao calmed down his grief and anger.

    "What are common injuries?"

    ¡°Non-structural fractures, non-neurological strains and other injuries, such as Achilles tendon rupture, cruciate ligament tear, etc., are beyond the routine use of bronze-level functional repair cards.¡±

    "So there are also silver-level and gold-level function repair cards? It's good to get this thing It's still early, it's only 482 destiny. I don't know how long it will take to reach 1000 days. Let's upgrade the medal first."

    Opening the medal section and looking at it, the gold medal has solo riding, and the silver medal has homecoming.

    These two skills are definitely the ones he wants to upgrade the most. They are both so easy to use. He can be recognized so quickly. The skill "Returning to the Heart" is very effective.

    And "riding alone"

    ¡°Is there a level beyond gold?¡±

    Looking at the only two bronze medals, one is the King of Turnover Jumpers and the other is the Dunk Master

    "Multiple choice questions, it's that simple, upgrade to the king of turnaround jump shots!"

    ¡°The host uses the Bronze Medal Upgrade Card on the Jump King (Bronze)

    King of Jump Shots (Silver) (designated player to wear: Zhang Hao): When a player wearing this medal uses a jump shot, he will be?I really can¡¯t tell, but he is really talented. He is learning anytime and anywhere, as if his world is only basketball Jerry, you are so lucky!  "

    "This is not luck, this is vision!" The logo man pretended decisively. Seeing James Worthy's disdainful eyes, the logo man smiled and said, "Akers' talent is indeed higher than I initially expected.  , but it¡¯s a good thing for us. Then I¡¯ll leave his defensive training to you, and you have to help him with his fast break skills.¡±

    "no problem,"

    James Worthy was completely impressed by Zhang Hao's talent. The rookie of his team does not only look at the face of the logo man, but also looks at the face of the No. 42 player floating above the Great Western Forum Arena.

    "By the way, Jerry, do you really want Erwin to come back?You know, I'm just worried that Erwin can't stand the attack of public opinion."

    "Don't worry, his mental quality is very strong, not inferior to you and me. You have been working with him for so many years, don't you still know this?"

 Chapter 108 108. What if we win (a 10,000-word chapter please subscribe)

    Zhang Hao did not review the game against the Raptors, but he chose to review the game against the Nuggets and observed the defense of Antonio McDyess and Mutombo.

    From the current point of view, Antonio McDyess is their best defensive player this time. Anyway, Zhang Hao feels that Antonio McDyess is stronger than Garnett in the last game of the preseason.

    Although you need to learn defense from James Worthy, you still need to understand more about the defensive characteristics of defensive masters. Maybe you can learn some of the opponent's defensive skills in the future, which never hurts.

    Through observation, Zhang Hao found that Antonio McDyess seemed to prefer playing center, and Mutombo could only accommodate himself by extending out to defend. However, Antonio McDyess was a bit smaller, so Ceballos was able to play so well last night.  good.

    The night passed, and on the next day, it was time to start a road trip.

    The previous 3 games in 4 days at home was actually the beginning of the Lakers' devilish schedule of 7 games in 10 days. Next, the Lakers will start a brutal wave of six consecutive away games, starting with 4 games in 5 days on the road, starting with the Rockets.  It starts with a game against the Clippers, and then four consecutive games in the Eastern Conference.

    However, unlike the usual departure in the morning for away games, after playing the Nuggets last night, the coaching staff informed us to leave for Houston at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

    At first, Zhang Hao just thought that he needed to rest more after 4 days and 3 games. He did not go to the arena in the morning, but watched the game video of Alan Houston and Reggie Miller at home.

    Movement positioning must continue to be strengthened.

    As he watched, he received calls from April Clark and Pelinka. After receiving the call from April Clark, he knew what had happened - the Magician was back!

    ¡­¡­

    Very suddenly, "The Magician Returns", a soap opera that public opinion thought would end in failure, suddenly ended.

    On December 11, 1995, the Lakers officially announced that they had reached a one-year contract with Magic Johnson. The contract amount was similar to the contract that Jordan had when he came back and extended his retirement. It was $2.5 million a year. Magic Johnson officially came back!

    At the same time that the Lakers held a press conference, NBA officials also held a press conference to report on Magic¡¯s physical examination report after repeated testing for more than a month, announcing that the blood-borne infectious disease virus could no longer be found in Magic¡¯s body.  And announced the doctor's recommended plan - as long as he insists on taking medication every day, Magic is no longer a mobile source of infection and meets the American Athletic Association's standards for confrontational sports competitions.

    As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a wave of publicity.

    First, under the pressure of anti-discrimination organizations, Malone apologized to Magic in an interview: "I have always been a fan of Magic. The only reason why I chose the No. 32 jersey is because he is my idol. I apologize for my previous remarks.  Feel ashamed"

    After nearly two months of debate, the Magician is back at this point in time. There are still voices of opposition, but they are not as fierce as before. The most impulsive time for fans has passed. Many people recall the most talented man back then.  nba's super all-around warrior

    ¡­¡­

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Hao took a taxi to the airport.

    "I must buy a car when I come back from this away game! It's 9 miles! It's 35 US dollars. What a steal! The girl on the roadside in Hollywood only robbed for 30 to 50 US dollars. I don't know when I can earn back the silicone money.  "

    After worrying about the young women in the United States, Zhang Hao reunited with his teammates.

    Today, the team has a very conspicuous person who is chatting with the general manager logo man, general manager consultant Kupchak and the head coach with a warm smile.

    Although the man¡¯s smile was warm and gave people a feeling of trustworthiness, Zhang Hao felt that the team¡¯s atmosphere was strange, extraquiet.

    It wasn't time to board the plane yet. Zhang Hao was the last one to arrive. It was not a big deal. His teammates all knew that he didn't have a car and had to take a taxi to and from get off work. For taxis, in the United States, booking a car an hour in advance can make things happen on time.  It would be nice to pick someone up.

    The logo man called Zhang Hao over: "Akers, you're here Ervin, this is Zhang Hao, our talented rookie, Akers, this is the greatest star in the history of our team."

    ??Looking from a distance, I don¡¯t feel anything, but looking up close, I see a fat magician

    Hearing the introduction, the magician subconsciously stretched out his hand and said, "Oh, Akers, I've seen you play, it's great"

    Before he finished speaking, the magician's initiative to shake hands stopped. He then remembered that others might not be willing to shake hands with him. If he extended his hand proactively, it would easily embarrass people.

    However, Zhang Hao seemed to know nothing. He stretched out his hand and shook the magician: "Thank you, it is mine to be praised by the best player in history."There was one more ¡°Bulls player¡± and no one noticed.

    But after quietly turning around, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t see Jordan!  There are also reporters and Bulls staff looking for Jordan!

    "Boss Qiao also sneaked away like me? Could it be that he also went to find me Impossible."

    He came quietly and left quietly. No one noticed that Zhang Hao had appeared at the Bulls training ground.

    But while walking, Zhang Hao got lost

    "This is a warehouse?"

    Zhang Hao was about to turn around and find his way again when he suddenly heard the sound of hitting.

    ??Looking in through the half-open warehouse door, Jordan is inside!  Hitting the sandbags hanging in the warehouse!

    "Five crowns, five crowns, five crownsf"

    After a greeting from relatives, Jordan sprayed a lot of slang that Zhang Hao didn't understand.

    "It's better not to get into trouble"

    Just when Zhang Hao was about to leave, he heard Jordan yell again.

    "Everyone is talking about that guy's 5 championships. Is 5 championships great? I must get 6 championships to surpass that guy, otherwise I won't retire!"

    Zhang Hao peeked out again and saw that Jordan was holding a sandbag with a ferocious look on his face, as if he wanted to bite the sandbag to bits.

    "very scary¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao decisively chose to leave.

    Just when Zhang Hao finally found his way back to the visiting team's locker room, the mission prompt came!

    " Michael Jordan, a godlike player in the field of basketball, vows to surpass Magic Earvin Johnson's 5 championships. Optional mission: God Killer Trigger"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 109 109. The first person of two generations (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe!)

    "This mission is unique. If you reject it, it will no longer be triggered. Do you accept it?"

    Zhang Hao looked at the triggered task and felt very bad. It was actually optional, so there might be some problems if it failed.

    With a very strong psychological quality, he was not dazzled by the task whose name seemed to make people restless.

    "Can you first see what the mission is?"

    The subtitle content has changed, so I didn¡¯t refuse!

    ¡°Godslayer (Diamond) (Unique) (Optional):

    Goal: Prevent Michael Jordan from winning more than 5 championships before he completely retires.

    Mission rewards: Michael Jordan¡¯s random specialty conversion medal (gold), skill training card matching the reward medal (top).  (Note, it will not be randomly determined that the host already has a medal.)

    Failure penalty: one gold medal from the host will be deducted at random.

    Advanced goal: Prevent Michael Jordan from winning more than 4 championships before he retires.

    Advanced rewards: Random specialty conversion medal rewards will be upgraded to designated specialty conversion medals, and matching technology training cards will be upgraded to super top training cards (95).  "

    "Can I think about it?"

    "It is currently an opportunity to trigger the task. If you reject it, it will not be triggered."

    ¡°It¡¯s really unreasonable at allaccept it!¡±

    Looking at the subtitles and switching to the task interface, there is a "Diamond Level" directory that I have never seen before. No matter what the reward tasks were before, they were all put together, and this Diamond Level directly appeared in a separate directory.

    There is only one mission, the "God Killer" mission, and the optional logo on it is gone.

    You must accept it, the reward is really irresistible!  Even if you can't complete the advanced goals, it's already super cool!

    "Wait a minute, we are talking about preventing Jordan from winning 6 or 5 championships It seems that there is no requirement for who? Who cares? The most direct thing is that our Lakers win the championship. If we win the championship, Jordan will not be able to win it O'Neal will come  Right? Kobe will come? Right?

    Logo man!  You have to work hard!  "

    There was still half a day before the game, and Zhang Hao felt a wave of strong stimulation, and finally calmed down.

    "Winning the championship is still far away. The Bulls are invincible this season, and our Lakers are not a championship team. I have to try to become stronger before O'Neal comes. I can't let this fat guy underestimate me, otherwise it will be very troublesome.  "

    Zhang Hao¡¯s fighting spirit became even higher.

    As a basketball player, it is known that Jordan is a god-like existence in the basketball world. If there is even a slight possibility, who wouldn¡¯t want to shoot Jordan on his way to becoming a god?

    Anyway, he wants to!

    Just when Zhang Hao had a deeper desire to become stronger, someone pushed open the door of the locker room and came in.

    "Aix, why are you here hiding? Come on, t.n.t wants to interview you eh? Uh!"

    The Lakers press officer saw Zhang Hao wearing a Bulls hoodie!  He was obviously wearing Lakers training uniforms more than ten or twenty minutes ago!

    And, that number

    I wanted Zhang Hao to change clothes quickly, but it was too late. Reporters from t.n.t had been looking for Zhang Hao. Apart from Magic, Zhang Hao was the most popular Lakers player at the moment. Magic was so surrounded that he couldn¡¯t squeeze in. Zhang Hao actually ran away.  , the press officer and t.n.t, who decided to interview Zhang Hao temporarily after discussion, had a hard time finding it, but finally found it, but it was a bit surprising.

    "it should be no problem?"

    As soon as the press officer thought this, he saw a person from t.n.t¡¯s team running towards the center of the training ground and squeezing his way into the crowd

    ¡­¡­

    Today is not a good time for an exclusive interview with the magician. If you want an exclusive interview, you have to wait until the group interview is over, otherwise you will always offend people.

    But Zhang Hao is different. Although he is currently very popular, he is still just a rookie. He notifies other media that he wants an exclusive interview without fear of offending people.

    Zhang Hao was taken to a lounge and the interview began.

    The first question asked by t.n.t¡¯s reporter was: ¡°Are you a Jordan fan?¡±

    Zhang Hao was stunned and suddenly remembered that he was still wearing a Bulls hoodie!

    He looked down at his hoodie He didn't notice that the number on the Bulls hoodie he bought happened to be No. 23, damn!  I actually wore this to the Bulls training ground without being discovered!

    No wonder the press officer had a strange expression just now

    But this shouldn¡¯t be a big deal. Zhang Hao responded: ¡°Well, Mr. Jordan taught me how to turn over and jump shot before. I am very grateful to him.¡±

    The reporter said in surprise: "He taught you your turnaround jump shot? No wonderI feel that the Nets are weak, and I think I have to pay attention to my health, so I sometimes slack off. When they play the Lakers, on the night of Magic's comeback they don't want to be so happy about Magic's comeback. The whole team is very active.

    If you are not active, you will be scolded by Jordan.

    Not every round is so lucky. After half a quarter, when Magic went down and the Lakers' teamwork ability suddenly declined, the Lakers quickly entered a disadvantageous state.

    More than 3 minutes later, the Bulls relied on Kukoc's top arc shot and Jordan's long two-pointer from the baseline to expand the lead to 7 points. The Bulls went on a 14-9 run during this period!

    29 to 36, with a three-point difference about to be stretched to 10 points, the Lakers called timeout again!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao has been playing hard during this period. He really felt that the Bulls' performance when they played the Lakers was very different from when they played his Nets team before!

    Maybe it was because the Bulls were not in good shape at that time, or maybe the Bulls didn't work as hard from the beginning as they did tonight.

    In short, Zhang Hao felt the huge gap in strength right away.

    but¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao always felt that the opponent seemed to be very anxious to open up the gap quickly. He didn't know if this was an illusion.

    Back on the bench, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know if he would continue to play. Since the defensive end had almost no role, his physical condition was very good, mainly because he had strong recovery ability and was young, so back-to-back games had little impact.

    But when he returned to the bench, he found that there were many big guys on the bench

    "Aix, come here"

    The leader of the bosses, the logo man, called out, and Zhang Hao ran up.

    On the other side of the bench, Jordan looked at the bench on the opposite side surrounded by Zhang Hao's logo man, James Worthy, Magic This coaching lineup is simply amazing!

 Chapter 110 110. Crazy moment!  (This is a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe!)

    In today¡¯s game, the Lakers¡¯ management wants to win, the coaching staff wants to win, the stars want to win, and the players definitely want to win too.

    A matter of face!

    The first player in team history is back, no matter what, he has to risk his life to win the game!

    Except for the aloof and lonely Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who did not come to the Lakers bench to discuss the game, other players like the logo man, Kupchak, James Worthy, Michael Cooper, Gail Goodrich, and Michael Thompson  , Elgin Baylor and others have already gathered next to the Lakers bench to discuss.

    Fans at the scene saw a bunch of Hall of Fame players gathered on the bench of the Lakers. Even if they are not Hall of Fame players, they are famous players in NBA history. Some people continued to curse.

    Commentators from Time Warner Cable Sports and American Cable TV are also using adjectives such as "great" and "shocking".

    At this time, the adjective used by the commentator of the imperial court was the most accurate - this is the heritage of a wealthy team!

    The Lakers players who were being coached didn¡¯t dare to show off their anger, and they listened attentively to the guidance of the famous players in team history, headed by the logo man.

    Coaches and players have different perspectives and often think differently. However, these celebrities are all successful players and know not to interfere with the team's head coach's tactics, so they are on the court in the first 10 minutes of the game.  Provide suggestions based on the tactics played by the players.

    "Cedric, your goal is too obvious. The opponent can see that you are definitely going to attack the basket, so the opponent is always paying attention to your cutting movements. You can go to the weak side to help Anthony block people and force  Whether the opponent chooses to change defense or not, as long as the opponent moves, your entry will be more advantageous. When you are not required to move, you can stay at the bottom line with peace of mind" This is Elgin, general manager of the Clippers.  -Baylor.

    "Nick, you are always used to seeing where your teammates appear before you decide to pass the ball. Don't do this. You should pay more attention to the position of your teammates. Like Anthony moving on the sideline, once you have no singles opportunity or direct pass,  When the ball gives a teammate a chance to shoot, you can give it to him first. He has a good vision in this position, so you can give him a break. Don't stop the ball. You can't let the ball stop when attacking, like Akers in this area.  , when Cedric is in this area, you can pass out first, you have to trust your teammates" This is the first point guard Magic in history.

    "Jason, your rebounding is very good, but you still have some things you don't do well. You have to believe that you can score. Always pay attention to the movement of the opposing center. When Cedric or Akers cut or go around the basket,  At the bottom line, the opposite center what is his name? Anyway, he will definitely pay more attention to Cedric and Akers. This is your opportunity! You must always pay attention to the passing and receiving space between yourself and the player holding the ball.  Moving in time" This is former No. 1 pick and two-time champion Michael Thompson.

    "Anthony, you are in a good position, but you can't just stand. You can move. When Nick breaks through or the ball is not in the top arc, you move to the top arc. You can easily be targeted just by standing. You are here.  The area and this area can all have passing opportunities" This is Mitch Kupchak, the representative of high-quality role players in NBA history.

    With a tactical board in hand, three Lakers legends who have won championships and one who has won many runner-ups took a player alone to explain the details of the game.

    "Obviously, they have discussed it, and there is no situation where each person's individual guidance will tear the team into pieces.

    "However, Zhang Hao is a bit over the top"

    ??The four teammates are all guided individually by a temporary mentor. When they come to him

    "Akers, you didn't do well in the few cuts you made just now, rhythm! You have to control the rhythm! You can't always be so fast. You are very fast, but the opponent's Pippen is also very fast! You have to control the rhythm when you slide the baseline.  Slower and faster after taking the pick-and-roll. The most important thing is to disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm. The same goes for reverse cuts. You can be slower when you pull out, but you have to be faster when you cut in" This is James Worthy.

    "Akers, you can choose more singles. Our lineup has a lot of space. Jason and Cedric are very impactful. Their offensive rebounds are very good. It's not that easy to score from close range. I've seen it.  In your game, it will actually be very effective if you back up Pippen. You can start from this point" This is the logo man who is the strongest man in perimeter singles in the early days of the NBA.

    "Akers, you can choose to cause damage. You look thin and very deceptive. The opponent's center makes big defensive moves. When you cut in and shoot, you don't have to hold it hard. When he hits your arm, you can call out.  Sound" This is Gail Goodrich, a master of foul-making at the level of a master.

    "Time to cut in! Aix, you alwaysIt is possible to do better by attacking the opponent's defense, but in the final quarterthe opponent would rather fall behind and wait for the final quarter.

    The Lakers, who are at a disadvantage, can only be passive at this point.

    In the first game back, Magic tried his best. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Bulls by 9 points, 96-87!

    When the whistle sounded at the end of the third quarter, Zhang Hao stood up consciously and took off his training clothes.

    ??Also standing up were Ceballos, Jason Williams, and Anthony Pillar.

    After resting for a whole quarter, the young players of the Lakers recovered very well, which is their advantage.

    After playing 27 minutes in the third quarter, Magic returned to the bench with a smile and a performance of 13 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal.

    Knowing that Zhang Hao has a calm personality, the magician said when he passed by Zhang Hao: "Leave it to you, cool-guy."

    Zhang Hao nodded, regardless of whether the other party saw it or not, and took it as a response.

    Looking at Jordan and Pippen who stood up and took off their training clothes opposite, Zhang Hao felt that he should be nervous and excited, logically speaking, but besides being excited, his thinking was also very clear.

    In the past quarter, in addition to watching his teammates defend and the Magic trying to connect the team under the opponent's life-threatening defense, he was also listening to the celebrities who came to him one after another and talked about the details that had just occurred to him.

    During the halftime break, Del Harris originally wanted Van Exel and Ceballos to lead the team to attack the opponent's defensive formation in the third quarter. They guessed that the opponent would do this.

    However, the Magician took the initiative to leave the third quarter to him

    In the most critical fourth quarter, Magic did not insist on appearing on the scene. Instead, he left it to these young people

    "Under the watchful eyes of celebrities, take responsibility, young man. Temporary mission: Trustworthy key players trigger"

 Chapter 111 111. Really double kill the bulls!  (Ten thousand words will be added, please subscribe!)

    ¡°Key players you can trust:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers win this important game.

    Reward: Unknown.  "

    "Unknown, you are a big-headed ghost!"

    When Zhang Hao just saw the sentence "Take responsibility", he felt infinite pride in his heart.

    When I saw the word "unknown", my power was instantly broken.

    ?????????????????????????? But, I¡¯m a little itchy I don¡¯t even know what rewards I¡¯ve lost if I lose. This is too torture!

    When Zhang Hao came to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder, he saw Jordan coming too.

    "Boy, you did a pretty good job"

    Jordan didn¡¯t say anything vicious, but Zhang Hao was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

    "No, no, no, no, I'm not playing well, don't praise me!"

    ""

    "Looking at the talented rookie who is already famous for being calm and cool, he was so frightened that he screamed, and Jordan had a black line on his head.

    Why don¡¯t geniuses like hearing his praises all these years?

    Thinking back when he was still a young genius, he wished he could hear Magic Johnson, Big Bird and other top superstars in the league praise them.

    "Definitely, definitely, I'm sure! Very sure! These young people must still be thinking about the magician and Big Bird in their hearts! I must surpass them!"

    First of all, Jordan is ready to start from this game!

    Trailing by 9 points in three quarters, it¡¯s not important

    The Lakers must make a choice. If they want to create an advantage in the third quarter, either a group of main players will be consumed in the third quarter, or Magic will be consumed and unable to play in the fourth quarter. They have long expected this.

    And the opponent has to do this, otherwise it will have to wait until the fourth quarter anxiously.

    As for the offensive rush in the third quarter neither side would choose such a risky play, it is completely unnecessary.

    ¡­¡­

    The Bulls fielded a lineup of Steve Kerr, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and Kukoc.

    The Lakers sent out a lineup of Van Exel, Anthony Pillar, Ceballos, Zhang Hao, and Jason Williams.

    Luke Longley is not very good, but he is very important to the Bulls' defense. However, Luke Longley played for a long time in the first three quarters and was unable to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He will only be replaced if defense is needed at critical moments.  .

    TV commentators are saying that the Bulls are going to attack, and that's true.

    The last quarter of the game was about to begin. Before the start, the live TV footage showed Jordan and Zhang Hao. One of them accounted for half of the game. The statistics of the two were marked. They both had 30 points in the half. They did not play in the third quarter. In the first half,  Both played for a little more than 20 minutes, and their shooting percentages were similar.

    If Zhang Hao¡¯s talent and the speed of realizing his talent made him famous before, then in this game, he really entered the fans¡¯ field of vision!

    A super talent who is not inferior to the best rookies in the past few years!  Even, judging from his age, Zhang Hao may be more talented.

    Judging from his appearance, he is even more talented. The magician is called Zhang Hao cool-guy, just to save face, and the TV commentator is called cool-boy

    The immature face always gives people a feeling that they are still young and have unlimited talents, and the calm expression also gives people a feeling of strong psychological quality.

    The referee blew the whistle to start the fourth quarter, and the live TV screen switched to Van Exel receiving the ball and advancing, and the Lakers, who won the jump ball, took the lead.

    Pippen and Jordan, who had rested for a whole quarter, put huge pressure on the Lakers players just by playing.

    If it were normal times, some players would be more or less affected by the pressure brought by these two people, but tonight, the group of celebrities next to the bench brought them endless courage!

    For the opponent's inside combination, Ceballos chose to take the initiative to squeeze inside to compress Rodman's defensive space. After Van Exel came to the frontcourt, Jason Williams brought Kukoc out to Van Eck.  Serge picked and rolled, and Zhang Hao also started running.

    Fortunately, I didn¡¯t think I could score easily just because the Bulls¡¯ center and point guard were weak defensively. The Bulls did a very good job in rotational defense, pass blocking and pursuit!

    Zhang Hao went around to the right sideline before receiving the ball. Van Exel was covered, and there was no angle on the strong side of the pass. Zhang Hao could only come here to catch the ball.

    After Van Exel passed the ball this time, it was Kukoc who was guarding Zhang Hao, and he took a big step back. Although the Bulls did not have training time, they were fully prepared tactically. They learned that Zhang Hao was on both sides of the line.  I only took 5 three-pointers, and the only one I made was a forced shot that I couldn't help but.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t vote, he saw it was Cuco?? 

    ¡°He pushed me, you all could see it, but the referee didn¡¯t see it.

    My anger after the game was only for the referee's call, not for Akers. He really put the ball in. Even if he committed an offensive foul, that and him making the goal are two different things. Since he  If he wasn't called for an offensive foul, then he had the right to kill mefor the second time.  "

    Everyone was surprised by Jordan's words. The New York reporter was the first to react and asked very pointedly: "You don't care if you are defeated in this game? Or by the player who defeated you last time?"  You do not care?"

    "No, I care. I'm just stating one of my points. I never want to see such offensive fouls ignored by the referee again, but we failed to lead more and let the opponent have a goal to win."  The chance is just that the opponent made the shotbut it won't be like this next time.

    The next time we play against the Lakers, we will definitely win. They will not have any chance again.

    I didn¡¯t hear the news that Akers was traded tonight, which feels a bit strange.  "

    Jordan¡¯s tone was very calm, without the angry feeling just after the game. In the end, he even made a joke.

    Whether Jordan really thinks what he says, no one knows

    ¡­¡­

    "Akers, you beat Jordan again, why do you still seem unhappy You really made the shot!"

    "I'm so happy!"

    "can not tell¡­¡­"

    Jason Williams was speechless.

    Zhang Hao is really happy. His hands shook several times when he was icing after the game. He was tired He only played less than 33 minutes tonight, and the opponent has not been the strongest defensive lineup for a long time, so it cannot be counted.  How tired, but my hands are shaking with excitement!

    As for the fact that there is room for talents who push forward for a decisive blow.

    Zhang Hao himself was a little confused at first. As a good boy with a bright and positive personality, he also felt that it was not good to push others

    But as Jason Williams said, he really made the ball!  This is the key.

    Although I am not complacent, it is really great to beat Jordan!

    It¡¯s even better to beat Jordan twice in one season!

    It¡¯s so cool!

    He just remembered the last time he beat Jordan. The first thing he knew after the game was that he had been traded.

    ????????? Other emotions are very refreshing. His hands are shaking when applying ice. Is it because of the reward for completing the task? I don¡¯t see him humming a song when taking a shower

    Zhang Hao remembered that after coming to the Lakers, he had the experience of taking a shower together several times, and his teammates no longer took a shower with him.

    In tonight¡¯s game, what Zhang Hao gained the most was a bunch of rewards. In addition to this, he also got to know many famous players from the team. He completed the decisive victory over Jordan, which greatly strengthened the favor of those famous players towards him.

    ¡°Anyway, no one on their side cared that Jordan was pushed away They only cared that Zhang Hao made the ball at that time!

    In one game, I got 65 days of life, a silver lottery, and a gold medal!

    If you include the number of silver draws, it is equal to 150 destiny gained in one game.

    The happiness of the soul, the happiness of feeling, the happiness of being a basketball player these are all ignored, just the happiness worth 150 days of life, and the medals that may not be used frequently but are useful and explode at critical moments.  Zhang Hao couldn't help but sing loudly in the room.

    "After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today"

    "We, the common people, are so happy today"

    "Hee swish swish hee swish swish, hee swish swish, woo woo"

    "Damn it, how many rounds of life are waiting for you in the ringWhy is it still Jay Chou"

    "Dear me, take a sip of the love you said for meHey, why is it always Jay Chou?"

    After the game, the magician who was going to talk to Zhang Hao came to the door of Zhang Hao's room and heard the happy singing that could not be blocked by the soundproof door. The magician shook his head and left with a smile.

    Since we are all teammates anyway, we have plenty of time to chat, so I won¡¯t disturb Zhang Hao today.

    Although I don¡¯t understand it, everyone can feel the feeling of being so excited that I forget myself.

    Cool-guy, this kind of uncool image should not be seen by others.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao scored 40+ again against the Bulls!

    Jordan scored 50+ points in a single game three times this season and lost twice!  Moreover, he was killed by the same person both times, and this person was Zhang Hao!

    Previously, Zhang Hao defeated Jordan in the Nets' final game because the Lakers traded Divac, an All-Star center, and Eddie Jones, a top defensive pitcher with All-Star talent, to trade Zhang Hao, a rookie.  It didn't really cause much trouble. Even if Zhang Hao played so well in a game, it couldn't match the influence of the Lakers + seemingly losing chips.

    But after joining the Lakers, Zhang Hao's performance has been online. He scored 40+ and 35 points in the first 8 games. His popularity gradually increased, and the very dissatisfied Lakers fans gradually began to accept him.

    Tonight, the Magician¡¯s comeback battle and the Magician vs. Jordan game attracted a lot of attention, and the live ratings were so high that they even exceeded the ratings of Jordan¡¯s first game back last season.

    In such a game, Zhang Hao scored 45 points in a single game, and once again faced Jordan to complete the winning goal, he truly entered the fans' field of vision!

    For Zhang Hao¡¯s personal performance in this game, the media gave extremely high evaluations.

    ? Among them, the title given by Sports Illustrated, a subsidiary of Time Warner Cable Sports, is the most domineering.

    "Zhang or Hill?  ¡·

    Sports Illustrated listed Zhang Hao's performance from the start of his rookie season to the present, starting with beating the Pistons and breaking the NBA debut record, ending with his first win over Jordan, who was immediately traded to the Lakers for two players who have a high probability of being selected as All-Stars in the future.  Back until now!

    Finally, a question was raised - if the rookies from 1994 and 1995 were drafted together, would you choose Zhang Hao or Hill?

    No one has yet compared Zhang Hao with Anfernee Hardaway.After passing by, Zhang Hao also came forward and hugged each other

    For a moment, the Lakers team started swearing mode!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  It still looks fresh and delicious!

    ¡­¡­

    Just when Zhang Hao was visiting for the sixth time in a row, the University of Southern California had already begun vacation. The first semester ended on January 15th, which was about a month's vacation, and then the second semester started, from the end of March to the beginning of April.  It ends, which is probably when March Madness ends. The last semester is from the end of April to mid-June. Different universities have different arrangements. The University of Southern California has this arrangement.

    The University of Kansas is also about to have a holiday. Zhang Hao and Pierce talked on the phone and returned to Los Angeles at noon on the 23rd to watch the Christmas game.

    Zhang Hao called Pierce to ask when he would be back. He didn't say a few words, but the call lasted nearly two and a half hours.

    Pierce was even more excited about Zhang Hao joining the Lakers, and finally asked why Zhang Hao took so long to call him.

    Zhang Hao held it in for a long time and told the truth - he forgot.

    Apparently, Pierce¡¯s mother often called her son to tell her son about Pierce¡¯s recent situation. He must have been invited to several Lakers games and sat in the first three rows or even the first row.

    So, when he heard Zhang Hao say "forgot", Pierce hung up the phone with a "pop".

    It was a wrong payment after all!

    However, Zhang Hao heard that Pierce was still chatty and was not worried when he hung up the phone. The other party should be doing well.

    The University of Kansas is a traditional strong team. Pierce is often in the news, and he has teammates like Billups

    "Aix, come quickly and help me hang this up"

    Zhang Hao heard the shouting and went downstairs to the living room. He saw April Clark making some small decorations for Christmas in a few days. He immediately stepped forward to help with the high things.

    "Christmas is coming"

    "The Christmas game will be against the Celtics. If Pierce is really selected by the Celtics in the future, what will his expression be like when he comes to Los Angeles to play in the Christmas game?"

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 18 years old on January 7, 1977.

    Height 207 cm, wingspan 218 cm

    Weight: 97 kg.

    Position: Forward

    Team: Los Angeles Lakers.

    Ability evaluation: 73

    Physical fitness: Speed ??90, strength 90 (explosive power 83), jumping 94, flexibility 95, physical strength 92

    Shooting: 65 three-pointers (80 three-pointers in the top arc area, 59 in other positions), 91 mid-range shots, 89 layups

    Skills: 61 for ball control, 67 for passing, 91 for catch and shoot, 64 for catch and turn jump shot, 58 for post-up turn and jump shot"

    On the morning of December 22, after resting for a day and night, Zhang Hao was driven to Time Warner Arena by April Clark at 7:30.

    After this away trip, Zhang Hao looked at his progress and it was obvious!

    Although the ability evaluation has not yet reached 74, there are many small improvements. The shortened three-pointers within a 45-degree angle on both sides, which are the original two-pointers in the top arc area close to the three-point line, have reached 80.  congratulations.

    Passing has been improved to 67, and ball control has reached 61. I have been practicing these two, but being too big is a problem.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s catch-and-shoot shot is now 91. This is due to his recent study of Reggie Miller¡¯s running rhythm and combined with the detailed guidance from previous celebrities. Zhang Hao¡¯s catch-and-shoot shot has been successfully improved from 90 to 91.

    After any technology reaches the top level, it becomes very difficult to make progress!

    As for the back-up jump shot, it has exceeded 50 before you know it, reaching the level where the system has a score.

    After catching the ball, turning over and shooting jump shots to the passing line, the progress also slowed down.

    Training time, competition experiencetake your time.

    After playing six consecutive away games, the Lakers have two days of rest. There are no training arrangements for two days. They will play the Kings directly tomorrow and the Christmas game on the 25th. The two days of rest are just rest, in order to prepare for the previous wave of intense consumption.  rest.

    But after Zhang Hao helped April Clark decorate her home yesterday, he contacted James Worthy in the evening and strongly requested to start training today.

    Compared with the Nets trainer whose displeasure was written directly on his face, the old trainer who worked for the Lakers during the Pat Riley era was so positive when he got up in the morning to work. When Zhang Hao arrived at the arena, the trainer had already  All the necessary preparations were made. After Zhang Hao stepped on the elliptical machine for a while, he began to help Zhang Hao move his muscles and joints to help Zhang Hao warm up for training.

    Half an hour later, the warm-up for training was over, and James Worthy hadn¡¯t come yet. The appointment was for Zhang Hao to practice turning over jump shots before 9 o¡¯clock.

    Having practiced this technical move for two months, Zhang Hao does not dare to admit that he has mastered it, and he can be said to be familiar with it.

    But the more this happened, the less he dared to slack off. There was still a big gap between him and his body being able to naturally make movements driven by muscle memory as soon as the thought came out during the competition.

    Just when Zhang Hao was practicing hard because of his progress, a voice sounded: "Oh, cool-guy, you came so early. I thought I could come earlier than you."

    "Didn't I tell you, James, as long as there is a home game, no matter if it is a rest day or not, Akers will be the first to come to the arena for training."

    "Ervin, please stop talking. I think of the head coach. If it weren't for him, maybe Karim would have played in the finals before you retired, and we might have won the sixth championship."

    "Haha, but without Pat, we might not have won those three championships."

    "You make sense, but I still have nightmares when I think of the training at that time"

    Magic Johnson and James Worthy are here.

    Zhang Hao was about to stop training and say hello to the two of them. He glanced at the time, 8:44 Then he would practice for a while and wait for the two of them to chat well before saying hello.

    While the Magician was chatting with James Worthy, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten what he was going to do at the beginning. He looked at Zhang Hao, who started another set of training.

    James Worthy thought about seeing Zhang Hao respectfully preparing to say hello just now, and asked uncertainly: "Is Aix afraid of disturbing our chat?"

    "It should be like this. From what Jerry said, Akers is a little too polite."

    "I feel the same way. In terms of him I always feel that the distance is too strong. It's not annoying, but it's also difficult for people to want to get close."

    "Jerry asked us to find a way to prevent Ax from becoming like Karim."

    "When you say that, I feel that IkeOnce, the host can receive a 5-day lifespan reward, winning streak +1, and an additional lifespan +1 day; after each defeat of the Celtics, Zhang Hao will lose the next time he plays against the Celtics, deducting the reduction in lifespan.  Reduce the number of life days to winning streak.  "

    Looking at this mission, looking at the opposing lineup

    The lineup of David Wesley, Dee Brown, Rick Fox, Dino Radia, and Eric Montross.

    This time Zhang Hao really came up with such an idea - "I really want to play the Celtics every day in 82 games a year!"

    When Zhang Hao came up with this idea and the fighting spirit in his eyes seemed to be igniting, the big screen shot of the scene was just right for him.

    Seeing how Zhang Hao, who usually had an outrageously calm expression and just gritted his teeth and got up when he was raped, was so excited when facing the Celtics, the fans at the scene lost their composure and started cheering crazily!

    At this moment, they remembered that this kid was a player in Los Angeles a few years ago!  High school in Los Angeles!

    Lakers fans are so confident. In their view, Los Angeles people are all Lakers fans.

    Fans regretted booing Zhang Hao when he was first traded. The main factor must be that Zhang Hao got better and better as he played. The reason why they are now told to "correct once they make mistakes" is because of their sense of identity. Zhang Hao is now full of fighting spirit and his eyes seem to be spitting fire.  The expression on his face made them identify with Zhang Hao.

    Soon, the fans at the scene shouted "x" louder and louder

    Zhang Hao was shocked!

    What happened to these fans?

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 114 114. This is a good deal (10,000 words will be added, please subscribe!)

    "what's the situation?"

    The Celtics were taken aback by the increasingly manic atmosphere at the scene!

    Some Celtics players noticed that when Zhang Hao looked at them just now, he looked at them as if they were delicious food, as if he was eager to swallow them in one bite

    "No, we are the weaker side now. We should be the ones with the most fighting spirit. We are the ones who are working hard to counterattack. Why do they seem to want to fight harder than us?"

    Del Harris¡¯s verbal guidance, coupled with the history of the Lakers and Celtics¡¯ struggle, brought fighting spirit to the Lakers players and the urge to return to glory.

    But Zhang Hao infected his teammates, what he brought to his teammates was hard work!

    Fans can feel that Zhang Hao is extremely eager to defeat the Celtics. As a teammate, the feeling is even deeper!

    Due to various factors such as Zhang Hao never showing such an expression when facing other teams, everyone who noticed Zhang Hao felt that Zhang Hao wanted to defeat the Celtics on behalf of the Lakers

    Feeling Zhang Hao's "love" for the Lakers, Magic came up and patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "You should be a Laker, and the future is"

    Zhang Hao got excited and said quickly: "No, no, you can't say that, the future belongs to everyone!"

    "Uh yes, we will create a new era for the Lakers together." Magic felt that his little brother was weird, but he didn't think much about it.

    Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, he almost heard something he shouldn't have heard, but

    "They seem to have misunderstood somethingwhatever!"

    ¡­¡­

    At 8:30 p.m., the Christmas Day game between the Lakers and Celtics started.

    Originally, the Celtics had a lot of fighting spirit. Although they were not confident, they just had fighting spirit and wanted to defeat the Lakers.

    Although the gap in strength is quite large, didn¡¯t someone say something?

    The basketball is round!

    It seems like someone else said something.

    Only if you love to fight will you win!

    However, before the game, they felt the Lakers' increasing fighting spirit, even to the point where they wanted to risk their lives to win the game, and the Celtics players were a little confused.

    The players of the Celtics have a sense of identity and participation because of the struggle between the two teams in basketball history, but they have not gone to the extent of trying to win for the Celtics.

    Because they have been losing over the years, it is difficult for a losing team to have any sense of collective honor.

    The desire to win brought about by historical struggles was directly defeated - they were originally a mediocre team, and they were ranked third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference because of their clear goal of failing.  Duncan refused to participate in the draft early. Recently, the coaching staff wants to start winning and starting to make changes, but the desire to win cannot be cultivated again in three or five days.

    Fighting spirit is very important. Why are the Jazz and Sonics called food abusers?

    Why do the bottom teams hardly want to fight back when they encounter them and let them slaughter them?

    Because they have always presented an image of "beating a weak team to death", allowing those teams at the bottom to see them lose their fighting spirit and then get beaten.

    Tonight¡¯s Celtics team was similar. It was rare that they mustered up their fighting spirit because their opponent was the Lakers, but their fighting spirit collapsed before the game even started.

    And the Lakers are extremely eager to win tonight!

    With a bang, the Lakers already led by 19 points at halftime. By the end of the third quarter, the point difference had reached 27 points, leading 85 to 58, and the game was thrown into garbage time.

    Zhang Hao enjoyed the privilege of clocking out for three quarters. He played 28 minutes and made 9 of 13 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He easily scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 blocks.

    110 to 98, the Lakers easily defeated the Celtics and improved their record to 19 wins and 8 losses!

    Get 5 days of lifespan!

    Zhang Hao originally thought that the other party would give a strong counterattack, but no, the other party gave up early.

    There are not many Celtics players that Zhang Hao pays attention to, namely Rick Fox and Eric Williams. There are other players who are more powerful, but Zhang Hao pays attention to these two.

    Rick Fox is because of his top-kick support ability, and Eric Williams is because he is the 14th overall pick in the same class. He is 23 years old when he enters the NBA, and he has the ability to be a high-quality role player.  , those two freely growing incisors are hard to ignore This one is also a power forward. His performance at the beginning was average, but he also played well.

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t know what to do in this gameAfter two games, he finally accepted his fate and let Zhang Hao jump the ball today.

    The Spurs are not the Kings or Celtics. Attacking first is very important for them, the Lakers.

    David Robinson also came to the center circle, looking with interest at the rookie who has been so popular recently and whose news can be seen every day!

    Zhang Hao felt the look in David Robinson's eyes full of malice!

    At 8 o¡¯clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air

    David Robinson took off easily and was very relaxed. For him, the jump ball was a sure thing f I was careless!

    Zhang Hao is more serious and focused than David Robinson. He grasps the timing of his jump more accurately and moves the ball to the back first. The Lakers attack first!

    After Zhang Hao won the jump ball, he immediately started the fast break mode. David Robinson lost the jump ball, but he was very confident in his athletic ability. He also had guard-level speed and struggled to catch up with Zhang Hao but he couldn't run.  Pass!

    "Triggered by riding alone (gold), Zhang Hao's speed will be +5 during this fast attack"

    Winning the jump ball directly starts the fast break. Zhang Hao is naturally the one closest to the opposite basket of the Lakers!

    The magician who received the ball at the free throw line sent it out!

    The long pass that ran through the entire court was accurately delivered to Zhang Hao. As soon as Perdo, one of the Spurs' twin towers, retreated to the basket, he had no time to reach out and his vision went dark

    Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket through Perdo!

    The start detonated the whole audience!

    Del Harris stood up and punched!

    "Did I do something wrong If I had let him jump the ball earlier, we would have had more starts like this"

    "Slam Dunk Master (Bronze) triggers"

    Seeing Zhang Hao complete a single fast break and run back with a cold face, the morale of the Lakers team was ignited at the beginning!

 Chapter 115 115. Finally took the bait!  (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)

    "The last time we played against the Lakers, this rookie wasn't so strong, wasn't he?"

    "It would be great if you let me jump the ball earlier"

    The two people who jumped the ball entered the second half of this round with different ideas when it came to the Spurs' attack.

    Back to the backcourt, Zhang Hao wanted to guard David Robinsonagainst the Spurs, he still didn't like guarding Elliott. This guy looked like a better-looking alien.

    During the lockout, the media couldn't dig up any news, so they started to make some weird topics - the ranking of the league's ugliest players.

    ??Among them, Elliott is honored to be on the list, and the first one is Cassel, who has just finished his rookie season.

    If Cassel¡¯s appearance is equal to minus infinity, then Elliott¡¯s appearance score in the media is probably minus infinity + 100 points.

    The visual impact is too strong.

    However, there is someone who is one step faster than Zhang Hao The Magic guarded David Robinson, and his movements were so fast!

    Despicable!

    Seeing that Elliott had already served the ball and came over, Zhang Hao could only defend him. When Avery Johnson came over, Elliott started to run, and Zhang Hao pushed towards Elliott.

    Not only do you have to support others, you also have to chase others to support you.

    Chasing, Zhang Hao was blocked by David Robinson!

    Elliot went around from the wing to the baseline. Magic switched defenses and was about to catch up when he was blocked by the second pick-and-roll. It was Perdo!

    The Spurs' double pick-and-roll!

    At this time, Avery Johnson rushed inside against Van Exel. Campbell could not extend out, and Avery Johnson scored the ball!  Zhang Hao wanted to make up ground to prevent Elliott from catching the ball and shooting, but Avery Johnson was not passing the ball to Elliott!

    David Robinson received the ball with a big step inside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, and hit a long two-point shot!

    ? Outstanding vision, accurate passing, and dare to pass!

    The key point is to dare to pass the ball. The ball almost flew from the back of Zhang Hao, who was heading towards Elliott, and flew towards David Robinson.

    The teammates glanced at Zhang Hao unconsciously. They didn't blame Zhang Hao for letting David Robinson go. If it were them, they would have replaced Elliott. Who would have thought that Avery Johnson would move with 5 people?  The person who passes the furthest inside half of the three-point line.

    They looked at Zhang Hao because of Avery Johnson's prediction of the defensive player's positional movement!

    Zhang Hao often shows this kind of prediction ability, but only in terms of his own running position, catching the ball and shooting.

    When David Robinson shot, the Spurs players began to retreat. Except for David Robinson, they almost didn't grab offensive rebounds because their rebounding ability was poor. They used the twin-tower combination as their main tactic and their rebounding was not good.  , losing to opponents by an average of 0.7 rebounds per game.

    In fact, the Spurs' defense is not that good, but just like the Pacers are afraid of powerful forwards, with Zhang Hao, it is not that difficult for the Lakers to play against a team that is strong in positional warfare, offensive and defensive, but not very fast.  , but when faced with a team like the Spurs that retreats immediately after attacking and is fast, even if the Spurs' defense is average and they have lost an average of 101 points per game so far this season, the Lakers only scored more than 80 points last time they met them.

    No, the Lakers have no chance to switch offense and defense at the beginning.

    When Zhang Hao reached the frontcourt, he was stuck by David Robinson.

    David Robinson is definitely not as good as Zhang Hao in long-distance running, but in terms of explosive acceleration in short distances, David Robinson is unmatched among all NBA interior players!  Even among outside players, there are very few who can match David Robinson in this regard.

    It was difficult for Zhang Hao to get rid of David Robinson with speed, so he chose to go around the baseline.

    Perdo immediately switched defense to Zhang Hao. After encountering the pick-and-roll, David Robinson consciously moved up the line, blocking the path for Zhang Hao and Magic to catch the ball.

    Van Exel is not a vegetarian either. He predicted this situation when Zhang Hao crossed the baseline, and used his speed to beat Avery Johnson to the right side of the three-second zone and make a flying throw

    David Robinson even moved down the left sideline of the three-second zone. While sticking to Magic, he blocked the passing line between Zhang Hao and Van Exel. However, he was stunned when Van Exel entered the inside.  It¡¯s time to pounce!

    David Robinson rushed forward from the left front of the reasonable collision area, jumped up high, and hit the ball as hard as a volleyball that Van Exel threw before it reached the highest point!

    The ball was hit on the backboard and bounced back. Fortunately, Magic actively grabbed the offensive rebound. David Robinson was worthy of being the best defensive player. He got on it immediately, but Magic was very experienced and used his ratio to  David Robinson's fat butt was pressing against David Robinson, and he relied on his weight to stabilize his body.After a foul, Zhang Hao walked to the free throw line with that indifferent face, as if nothing happened just now.

    David Robinson looked at Jason Williams, who was as wretched as Rodman If he really faced David Robinson, even if the opponent's defense was so wretched, it wouldn't matter to him, because he would be prepared.  Rodman's defense is so wretched to begin with. Against Rodman, you must be prepared in that way.

    But he didn¡¯t expect someone to be as wretched as Rodman!

    David Robinson, who calmed down after being pulled away, was actually not that angry at Jason Williams. The other person was just being obscene.

    He is even more angry with Zhang Hao!

    Even when he stood up for his teammates, he always had an indifferent face that made people want to punch him.

    But if you actually do it, those who want to do it will feel that they are too incompetent.

    David Robinson deliberately walked to the sideline of his own half and watched Zhang Hao hit the technical foul free throw without any fluctuation in his heart

    "I hate this guy! I hate this kind of player with a poker face! Fortunately, my teammates don't have such a player. If there is such a player in our team, I will definitely make him sit on the bench every day, with him and without me!  "

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 116 116. Crazy December!  (10,000 words please subscribe!)

    After Zhang Hao's technical foul free throw hit, the Lakers briefly took the lead for a while, and then were overtaken by the Spurs.

    With displeasure and anger, David Robinson showed his MVP-level strength and his super offensive firepower to win the scoring title.

    Despite the Lakers' tenacious performance, the Spurs, led by David Robinson, have maintained their lead and initiative.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s magic ball and the 3+1 caused him to encounter a tight defensive blockage during his running attack.

    Precisely because of this, after the Lakers were able to occasionally find opportunities to boost their morale, they used his containment and teamwork, and Magic and Van Exel's offensive combing became smoother.

    Zhang Hao has been looking for opportunities, trying hard to find ways to improve and sustain morale. He knows that the Lakers have to rely on morale to last until the plan may be effective tonight.

    Fortunately, the Spurs' rebound protection is really average. Under the threat of Jason Williams' rush, Zhang Hao really found a lot of rush opportunities.

    However, David Robinson is really good!

    Before the official timeout of the second quarter, the Lakers finally tied the score, and the Spurs hit another climax. David Robinson scored 5 points in a row to beat the Lakers to the timeout, and the Spurs led 49 to 44!

    ¡­¡­

    They were leading and always had the initiative, but young general Avery Johnson, who was about to play again, felt something was wrong.

    Before the game, the Spurs' preparation atmosphere was very relaxed, because with a record of 22 wins and 6 losses, they seemed to be better than the Lakers, who had 19 wins and 8 losses.

    Although the Lakers have defeated the Bulls, the Lakers, who were in normal condition, were beaten when they played against the Rockets, and their Spurs also beat the Lakers by a big margin before.

    The Lakers just completed a transaction yesterday. Even if there is a possibility that other players will feel a sense of crisis after the transaction and want to fight, the Spurs can rely on their strength to defeat the opponent's hard work and then easily occupy it.  initiative.

    The game felt like what they expected. They played a very high offensive efficiency and it was not difficult to score but Avery Johnson found something that made him uneasy.

    For example, David Robinson seems to be suffering from anxiety disorder. He is extremely uncool and occasionally gets extremely irritable when he is guarded.

    ¡°It¡¯s always difficult for people to understand each other, and Avery Johnson didn¡¯t understand what happened to David Robinson.

    This is not important, David Robinson's singles efficiency is very high.

    The problem is that under David Robinson's fierce attack, the Spurs are about to create an advantage and the Lakers are about to be defeated by the Spurs. The opponent's fighting spirit will buck the trend!

    It will even make David Robinson play even more uncool!

    Fortunately, they have been leading, and the Lakers look like they may collapse at any time, and there is a sense of deja vu.

    It was about to go on the court, Avery Johnson felt that he had thought too much, adjusted his mentality, played hard, and tried to widen the point difference and create a clear lead in the remaining half of the first half.

    ¡­¡­

    The Spurs sent out a lineup of Avery Johnson, Negron, Chuck Person, Jr. Reid, and David Robinson.

    The Lakers sent Van Exel, Anthony Pillar, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, and Jason Williams.

    The opposite team sent several players who struggled to hold on to the score tonight, which seemed normal. Avery Johnson felt that he was really overthinking.

    The timeout ends and the Lakers attack.

    The Spurs players know very well that facing the Lakers, their defensive advantages are the Spurs' tall size, good mobility, and excellent defensive switching ability. To defend them, their excellent inside line is David Robinson and outside line is Ai.  Free Johnson and veteran Doc Rivers.

    In terms of individual defense, David Robinson and the two players at the point guard position can restrict the Lakers point guard, and the team does a good job in switching defenses. After the Lakers lost Ceballos, the Spurs dared to say that they were very restrained.  Lakers offense.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    So when the rookie occasionally played a good offense, the other members of the Lakers team became more popular and launched a fierce attack to seize the score. It was quite normal. After all, the Lakers have been making adjustments in order to play a good offense.

    That rookie only has three tricks - running, catching and shooting, post-ups, and physical fitness, nothing else.

    But if you use it well and have a high golf quotient, you can always find someone

    The so-called holiday on January 1st is very embarrassing. Europeans and Americans celebrate Christmas and Asians celebrate Spring Festival. Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t care anyway.

    When he arrived at the hotel, Zhang Hao concentrated on studying tomorrow's opponent.

    The first battle of the new year, I want to have a good start!

    We are going to fight Malone soon

    Zhang Hao actually felt a little excited. Recalling the last time he played against the Jazz, he was tortured miserably. This kind of excitement felt terrible to him.

    "Am I a masochist? Bah, bah, bah I'm just excited to meet the future mvp Damn! Malone will be 33 years old after this season, and he is still the future mvp! Is there any justice"

    Just when Zhang Hao was complaining, the subtitles suddenly popped up.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao performed very well after joining the Lakers, averaging 28.2 points per game in 15 games. In December 1995, he ranked second in the NBA scoring average among all players, second only to Zhang Hao who averaged 30.3 points per game.  Michael Jordan, and helped the Lakers achieve a record of 12 wins and 3 losses.

 Chapter 117 117. The youngest and best in history!  (5000 words more, please subscribe)

    "The youngest player of the month in history"

    ? American cable sports network first released this news.

    Yesterday, rumors began to circulate that the talented high school rookie who only turns 19 in a week may win the Player of the Month award in his rookie season.

    This morning, American Cable TV, the owner of the Knicks, announced the news as soon as possible after receiving the news from NBA officials in advance.

    ?Some people didn¡¯t believe it at first because the NBA officials had not announced the awards yet.

    January 1, 1996, the new year has arrived.

    At 9 a.m. on the first day of the new year, NBA officials invited a large number of Chinese and Asian media at a regular press conference. David Stern personally announced: Lakers rookie power forward Zhang Hao won the  Won the Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month in December 1995!

    Jordan, who worked hard to lead the Bulls to a 7-game winning streak in December, improved their record to 27 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the league.

    He averaged 31.8 points per game in 32 games and scored 50+ points three times He lost twice, but he was still 50+ points anyway. His personal efficiency and role for the team were both extremely strong. His personal efficiency reached 30.3  , when he was on the court, the Bulls scored 116.4 points per 100 possessions and only conceded 97.5 points per 100 possessions, which was so strong that no one could match it.

    However, with such a record and such personal performance, Jordan actually did not win the Best of the Month award for two consecutive months!

    At the end of November, Anfernee Hardaway stole the Player of the Month award. On the first day of the new year, Michael Jordan, who had the best performance in the league this year, was stabbed in the back again

    The key is that Jordan¡¯s loss of the Best Player of the Month these two times was directly related to Zhang Hao.

    In November, Jordan and Anfernee Hardaway's personal performances were evenly matched. In terms of record, before the last game in November, the Bulls were half a game ahead of the Magic. However, because they lost to the Magic, both players could win.  possible.

    But in this anxious situation, Zhang Hao ruined Jordan's hope of winning the Player of the Month Award in November. In his last game before leaving the Nets, Zhang Hao defeated Jordan

    By December, the Bulls had a better record. However, Zhang Hao became famous when he played against the Bulls, scoring 40+ again and beating Jordan.

    However, before the award was announced, many people still believed that Jordan should win the Player of the Month award in December, with a better record and better personal performance. Although he lost to the Lakers once, Jordan still had hope of winning the Player of the Month award.  bigger.

    Some media pointed out that the league gave Zhang Hao the Player of the Month award as a rookie, which was an element of praise for Zhang Hao.

    However, the award has been announced, that is a confirmed fact!

    Zhang Hao became another rookie after Larry Bird to win the Player of the Month award in his rookie season!

    And in the entire NBA history, only Zhang Hao and Larry Bird won the Player of the Month award in their rookie seasons!

    Zhang Hao has been appearing in major newspapers and periodicals recently, either praising or criticizing him, and TV stations often report news about him.

    This time he won the Player of the Month award and became completely popular!

    The nickname fucker-sky also began to spread.

    Reporters immediately found Pacers general manager Larry Bird. Larry Bird said in an interview: "That is a Lakers player. There is a player from the Celtics who won the NBA title in his rookie season."  The Lakers should also have Player of the Month. I have been waiting for many years until I retire, and he is finally here."

    This was taken as Larry Bird¡¯s connotation that Magic didn¡¯t win Player of the Month in his rookie season.

    No, there is a new topic - will Zhang Hao become the best rookie in the history of the Lakers?

    ¡­¡­

    "It's an honor to receive this award. I know I'm definitely not the best player in the league, but I will work hard towards that goal and hope to become stronger."

    "Who do I want to thank? First of all, it must be the fans. They have shown their enthusiasm from the beginning. I work hard just to hear their cheers. Of course, my teammates are the ones who really help me. Very  Thanks to them for being willing to pass the ball to me, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t be able to score as high as I did.¡±

    "Compared with Bird? No, no, I'm still far behind. You should compare him with another person. That person is also from our team. His name is Earvin Johnson. I think you know him. He is an NBA player.  The best player in history."

    "I just played every game well. I didn't think too much. I don't know how I got the best of the month"

    "Fucker-sky This nickname is quite interesting, but I don't like it very much. It seems to be mocking me for being single"

    "Will JordanChu¡¯s cognition.

    Seeing the anxious expression on the magician's face, Zhang Hao gave a rare smile: "I'm used to putting myself at the bottom, so that as long as I play well, I won't feel like a failure, but if I play poorly, I will  Being at the bottom, it doesn¡¯t matter, just work hard next time.¡±

    have to!  The magician didn't expect that he had heard some great truth

    ¡­¡­

    The American cable TV sports channel temporarily added a game, the Lakers' away game against the Jazz.

    Before the start of the season, major television stations arranged 16 national live broadcasts for the Lakers in their regular season live broadcast arrangements.

    But since Zhang Hao joined the Lakers, there have been two additional broadcasts, and tonight is the third one!

    This kind of treatment makes him a phenomenal player.

    At 7:10 pm, the two teams entered the stadium.

    As a contender for the Western Conference All-Star forward position, Zhang Hao encountered violent boos when he entered the court!

    Zhang Hao thought that he would definitely have a chance to be selected as an All-Star starter in the future, but he thought that he would have a chance in his rookie year, and he never thought that he would be booed so much when he came to Salt Lake City because he had to compete for the All-Star starter.

    After entering the court, Malone ran to the Lakers bench to apologize to Magic

    Whether Ma Long is sincere or forced by public opinion, or whether the magician is fake or relieved, in front of the camera, the two meet and smile away their grudges.

    When listening to Del Harris making the final arrangements before the game, Zhang Hao always felt that someone on the opposite bench was looking at him, with ill intentions

    Finally, Zhang Hao also felt the same feeling that Damon Stoudemire had when he played against the Lakers.

    Currently, the Lakers are ranked third in the Western Conference with 22 wins and 8 losses, and the Jazz are ranked fourth in the Western Conference with 21 wins and 9 losses. Neither team wants to meet the Rockets in the first round. It seems that the Rockets are the number one candidate for fifth in the Western Conference.

    Therefore, the two teams are direct competitors.

    Looking at Ma Long¡¯s ability evaluation in 98it has been 7 consecutive years!  Also, since the second grade, Malone has had a defensive efficiency of above 5 for the 10th consecutive season. Although he does not have a season with a defensive efficiency of 8 like Olajuwon, nor does he have a defensive efficiency of 7 or above like David Robinson.  Performance.

    However, Zhang Hao knew that Ma Long would one day outlast these people and win the MVP

    "Sure enough, the best way to fight is to fight as long as possible! If you can't beat me, just endure it until all my opponents are old. I have to take good care of my body"

    Because Malone scolded Magic, although the two seemed to have settled their differences before the game, there was little communication between the players of the two teams.

    The final preparation time before the game passed quickly. Just when Zhang Hao twisted his body and was about to apply magnesium powder to play, the subtitles suddenly appeared!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao won the Player of the Month award in his rookie season and became a favorite to start the All-Star Game. He has successfully become the object of curiosity of major superstars. Veteran superstars at the same position even regard him as a thorn in his side. His mission is to be baptized.  Rookie? Triggered."

    ¡°A newbie being baptized?:

    Target: Triggered when conditions are met.

    Reward: To be determined, there is a probability that the target time will be the target completion time.  "

    "You're so curious! I'm just a rookie, am I worthy of being curious by big guys like you What does the question mark mean?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 118 118. Evil man Malone!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    The game is about to start, and the starting lineup of the two teams comes to the field.

    The starting lineup of the Lakers has been fixed, with the combination of Van Exel, Anthony Pillar, Zhang Hao, Magic, and Campbell taking the field.

    The Jazz sent out a starting lineup of Stockton, Hornacek, Chris Morris, Malone, and Felton Spencer.

    Zhang Hao came to the center circle to prepare for the jump ball. Since the target is not known yet, there is no need to think too much. It will always be triggered when it should be triggered. If it is not triggered, it will be treated as if there is no such task. Thinking so much is asking for trouble.

    Looking at Felton Spencer on the opposite side, he has changed. He is no longer the super meat shield Ostertag was when he played against the Nets last time.

    Spencer is 213 centimeters tall and weighs 120 kilograms. He is also a big meat shield, averaging 5.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.

    At 7:30 in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game on time and threw the ball into the air Zhang Hao jumped up and took the first step to move the ball backward

    The Lakers attack first!

    After Zhang Hao landed, he immediately bypassed the opponent's center and rushed towards the opposite basket to start the fast break!

    "Triggered by riding alone (gold)"

    Being carried by Ma Long who was prepared in advance!

    Malone is not as conceited as David Robinson. He did a thorough study of Zhang Hao, a popular rookie, before the game and was prepared for Zhang Hao's opening fast break.

    With a rough and powerful block, Ma Long also moved sideways. When Zhang Hao's chest collided with Ma Long's arm, he almost lost his breath!

    The opening attack was blocked, Zhang Hao had no choice but to give up, and the Lakers fell into a positional battle.

    After the game started, Zhang Hao got into trouble.

    After Zhang Hao joined the Lakers, he played against strong teams such as the Bulls and Spurs. Although these two teams also valued him and targeted him in defense, they were ultimately more wary of the constraints brought by his off-ball shooters.  , always thinking about taking care of comprehensive defense, so if he is patient, he will always have a chance.

    Maybe it¡¯s because Zhang Hao wasn¡¯t as famous as he is now and didn¡¯t pose such a strong threat to his opponents.

    The Jazz's defense is different from those two top teams. They are targeting Zhang Hao!

    Malone's confrontation, Chris Morris' pursuit, and Spencer's barely able to jump to block the basket. Even if he went to play the three-pointer first, others would follow him to death.

    Lian pulls, rude movements  This feels like treating him as a real superstar!

    Olajuwon, David Robinson, Ewing, O'Neal, Mourningthe kind of treatment you only get when you play the Jazz inside!

    What Zhang Hao feels most deeply is the opponent's control over "whether to attack in advance or not". The home court advantage and rules are used very well. Many defenses are in ambiguous situations. In another arena, the Jazz may be blown away.  There were a lot of early double attack violations, but this was Salt Lake City, so there were no violations!

    The Jazz's offense was very good. They used Stockton and Malone's pick-and-roll cooperation to launch attacks at the beginning and easily created shooting opportunities.

    And the one who scored consecutively at the beginning was not Malone, but Stockton, who looked like an ordinary middle-aged man!

    A three-pointer after a pick-and-roll, and two mid-range shots after a pick-and-roll. Stockton scored 7 points in a row at the beginning, and then sent a three-point assist to Chris Morris, passed it to Hornacek, and Hornacek set up a second pass.  A baseline jumper for Malonethe Jazz scored 12 consecutive points in the opening game!  Score all five rounds!

    The Jazz¡¯s average field goal percentage so far this season has reached 49%, which is slightly worse than the two teams of the Pacers and SuperSonics, and even higher than the Bulls.

    As for the score being lower than these three teams, it¡¯s because their pace is super slow!  The ability to press the rhythm is super strong. The seemingly bloated lineup is very strong in preventing fast breaks and transitions between offense and defense. The coordination of retreating defense is extremely good. Among them, Stockton seems to be unable to run fast and has little strength.  The point guard, who is not a strong one, plays an important role in limiting Van Exel's speed. Sometimes Zhang Hao is almost ready and has a chance, but Van Exel cannot pass!

    Malone also did an excellent job of defending the ball during Magic's counterattack.

    The Lakers originally wanted to play directly to increase the speed regardless of whether the opponent scored or not. The Jazz also had good defense!

    Relying on years of cooperation and the experienced team defensive capabilities built around Sloan's years of coaching the team around two dual-core players who have been playing for more than ten years and are still at the same level, the Lakers can almost only fall into positional warfare offense.

    It is difficult to find opportunities for running shots, unable to open up on cuts, and blocked on counterattacks Zhang Hao played for more than 3 minutes in the beginning. Except for jumping balls and serving, he had almost no chance to touch the ball!

    Zhang Hao has no chance, but fortunatelybsp; The combination of Sedale Rest, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Donyel Marshall, and Jason Williams came on the court.

    Zhang Hao saw that Sloan sent out a double point guard combination of Stockton and Howard Ellis, and the frontcourt combination of Chris Morris, David Benoit, and Malone was replaced.

    Spencer was replaced to rest, but Sloan did not replace Ostertag.

    ¡°Very targeted, with flexible lineup rotation No wonder he can still coach more than ten years later, but he may not have expected that our old fox would rotate like this"

    A head coach who didn¡¯t give the rookie Kobe Bryant any playing time during regular time, but when it came to the game-winner, he replaced him with a game-winner and wanted to beat his opponent by surprise. His thinking was quite fast.

    Although Kobe Bryant missed two consecutive kills, opportunities did come up, and Sloan did not expect them.

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the Lakers attack.

    Van Exel and Anthony Pillar did not start the game. The Lakers' back line sent a taller duo, which really surprised the Jazz's back line.

    Doug Christie is that kind of microwave-type player. He doesn¡¯t have a high desire to score under normal circumstances. He just stands and opens up the space. But when he is needed, he is very powerful!

    Facing Stockton¡¯s defense, Doug Christie was very tough. Being stronger, he rushed inside and approached the basket, trying to find a shooting point closer to the basket.

    After attracting Malone's attention, Doug Christie passed the ball to Zhang Hao who was cutting in. When Malone moved, Jason Williams pulled out to help Zhang Hao block the chasing David Benteno. However, Chris  -Morris retracted directly to the inside. Zhang Hao was stuck after receiving the ball. Malone also turned around and resisted Zhang Hao.

    You can¡¯t be strong!

    More than a month ago, Zhang Hao encountered a similar situation under the basket when he played the Jazz. That time it was Ostertag + Malone, but this time is different!  Zhang Hao has made great progress in his vision. Malone and Chris Morris were in position to attack, but David Benteno failed to form an inside passing line and pass the ball in time!

    Donyel-Marshall catches the ball in the corner!

    After playing several games, Donyel Marshall has not made even a three-pointer for the Lakers, and he does not look like he will be able to tie 12 three-pointers in a single game with Kobe in the future.

    He is a little scared to catch the ball!  He played so well in his rookie year, but was abandoned for almost two months in his second year, and his mentality was affected.

    But when he received the pass from Zhang Hao, he felt Zhang Hao's fiery eyes That determined attitude affected Donyel Marshall. The latter adjusted after receiving the ball and rushed back when Dano Benteno rushed back.  Next, take a three-point shot against the defense

    Donyel Marshall has three-point strength. Although Zhang Hao saw that his mentality collapsed after being abandoned and only showed a 59 three-point rating, when he was determined, Donyel Marshall had a three-point rating.  allow!  In!

    23 square meters!

    "3 points, 59? 82?"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s player detection system immediately updated the data, and Donyel Marshall¡¯s three-point evaluation was corrected!

    ¡°The question mark is probably due to the uncertainty of mentality and the uncertainty of the right to take action so the performance is not yet certain? That¡¯s right, other players¡¯ abilities are evaluated based on their performance¡±

    The question flashed by. Zhang Hao saw the Jazz quickly pick up the ball and serve. Stockton received the ball and sped up, running towards the frontcourt.

    The Jazz¡¯s current tallest Malone on the court is only 206 centimeters, and his rhythm has improved!

    Just when Zhang Hao started, someone bumped into him from behind, and he threw himself forward The referee did not blow the whistle!

    When Zhang Hao rushed out, he saw Ma Long acting like he "accidentally bumped into him" and stopped for a moment.

    ¡°Obviously, Ma Long did it on purpose just now!

    Seeing that the referee did not call the call, Malone ran back to the frontcourt.

    This is really unbearable!  When Ma Long ran up from behind and wanted to go around Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao got upand stretched his legs in the process of getting up. The direction was quite accurate, and he tripped on Ma Long's foot that was about to lift up from the floor  Ma Long, who was accelerating, jumped out like a dog!

    When the referee who ran towards the front looked back, his eyes were wide open!  Why are Zhang Hao and Ma Long lying on the ground when they start again?

    Then, when Ma Long got up, he jumped to the left and hit Zhang Hao, knocking Zhang Hao

    As soon as Ma Long got up and was about to run forward, he saw Zhang Hao, who was getting up, pulling Ma Long's legs in order to find a "borrowing point" and not knowing why he didn't use the floor to get up, and Ma Long was pulled down again

    When Zhang Hao was knocked down by Ma Long, there were fans cheering at the scene. When Zhang Hao tripped Ma Long, the fans had not yet reacted.

    By this time, the scene had exploded!

    The referee was stunned for two seconds. Seeing that the two were almost entangled and almost starting a fight, the referee quickly blew the whistle!

    The eight other players on the field noticed it as early as the two people tripped each other continuously, and then they were all stunned. No one ran to help

 Chapter 119 119. A rookie who is so tough that he explodes (5000 words, please subscribe)

    The four legs of the two people are entangled, and it looks like the scene is full of passion If it weren't for the two of them using their walls to press each other's chin

    The teammates and referees pulled the entangled two people away, and their thoughts were surprisingly the same - that (our) rookie actually dared to elbow Ma Long!

    Zhang Hao is obviously outmatched, but he is not timid at all!

    He couldn't speak when his chin was pressed. After being pulled away, Ma Long opened his teeth and claws as if he was about to charge forward again. He was stopped by his teammates and shouted: "Get out of the way, I'm going to kick this bastard to pieces."  Eggs"

    Zhang Hao, who was pulled away, quickly regained his indifferent expression. He just discovered a detail. When Ma Long was entangled, his movements were rough, but that was just rough. After he was pulled away, he opened his teeth and claws to hit someone.

    After looking at Ma Long, Zhang Hao said, "Soft, kicking the rice?"

    The players on the two teams, the players gathered from the bench, the referee, and even Malone himself were all stunned!

    This rookie high school student with a face of a student, a face of a student with low academic qualifications, an expressionless face and loves to pretend to be cool, is so cool!

    In an instant, Ma Long made a decision, opened his teeth and claws even more, and shouted: "Don't pull me! I'm going to kill him"

    Then he was pulled away by Stockton and David Bennot and left the surrounded circle.

    Stockton really wants to say something to his old friend - I didn¡¯t use my strength!

    But he, who should cooperate with the performance, tried his best to perform

    Returning to the bench, Malone punched the empty chair next to him with an "angry" punch.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao was also surrounded by his teammates and returned to the bench. During this period, he felt the surprise and passion in the eyes of his teammates

    Teammates feel that Zhang Hao is too tough!

    They are not pretending to be cool, they are really cool!

    Now, in the eyes of his teammates, Zhang Hao is not only handsome, but he is even more handsome in what he does!

    For a moment, the teammates didn¡¯t dare to go up and say anything to Zhang Hao. They felt offensive even talking about the conflict just now.

    They don¡¯t dare to be as tough as Zhang Hao!  Even Campbell, a 127 kg center!

    Or was Jason Williams more experienced and bolder, who came up to him and said, "Akers, you are so awesome, are you not afraid that Malone will really hit you?"

    Zhang Hao shrugged and said expressionlessly: "If he dares to touch me again, I will fall to the floor. His being sent out will have a greater impact on the Jazz team than me being sent out, right?"

    With that said, Zhang Hao paused, thought for a moment, and continued: "If he dares to touch me again, I will fall down."

    The magician exchanged words with the referee and then returned to the bench. He happened to hear Zhang Hao's last words, patted Zhang Hao on the back and said with a smile: "Akers, that guy thinks the same way. He found out that you won't do it for being rude.  His movements were affected, so he deliberately provoked you. He is thick-skinned. If you punch him, he might treat it as a massage. He just didn¡¯t expect you to be so stubborn. This time he will be embarrassed"

    The referee went to the technical stand to watch the replay. Although he knew that Malone made the first move without even watching But they had to think about how to call the penalty, so they watched the replay first.

    The fans at the scene were a little quiet at this moment. Indeed, Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in the conflict surprised the fans at the scene

    There are many stars watching this game live.

    In Chicago, the unnamed player No. 23, who has the strongest overall performance this season and has been robbed of the Player of the Month award by young players for two consecutive months, is watching the live broadcast.

    "This kid is actually so courageousWhat did he say to Ma Long just now? A weakling? Hahahaha"

    Originally, Jordan was very depressed when he failed to win the Player of the Month award again today, but seeing Zhang Hao, who stole his Player of the Month award, performed toughly on the national live broadcast, he felt a lot happier.

    It¡¯s not shameful to think about being snatched away as Player of the Month by such a rookie.

    San Antonio, last season¡¯s regular season MVP David Robinson looked at the close-up of Zhang Hao on the TV screen

    "How dare this rookie? How dare he have a hard time with that villain?"

    No one was around, but David Robinson felt his face turning red!

    Two years ago, in the first round of the 1994 playoffs, his Spurs met the Jazz, and the Spurs were beaten 3-1 by the Jazz.

    Personally speaking, Malone only shot 41% from the field, and even made 2 of 14 in one game, while Malone averaged 29.3 points per game and shot 48% from the field.

    In that series, Malone¡¯s brutality left a shadow on David Robinson¡¯s heart. In that series, he gave up

    David-?Williams' 4-shot and 1-grab combination continued.

    However, after the start of the second quarter, it was Donyel Marshall who defended Malone, and the effect was still unstoppable.

    At 3 minutes and 22 seconds into the second quarter, with the rough movements, the offensive efficiency of the two teams gradually declined. It was very obvious at the beginning of the second quarter. At nearly three and a half minutes, the Jazz only scored 4 points and the Lakers only scored 4 points.  After scoring 3 points, the game was tied at 36!

    When the Jazz attacked, Zhang Hao directly received the basket this time and contracted in advance. Malone immediately distributed the ball after receiving the ball. In terms of support ability, Malone is Olajuwon's first level, averaging 4+ assists per game. He is a member of the inside club.

    David Benoit caught the ball and shot

    In many rounds in the past, the high school rookie who looked young and noble, gave David Benoit a fierce confrontation before each contraction. It didn't matter whether David Benoit had a chance to catch the ball or not.  The second time David Bennot took a shot, he was completely out of shape!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Jason Williams took the lead in occupying a more favorable rebounding position. After working hard, Malone had a chance to grab the rebound, but he squeezed Jason Williams away!

    However, Zhang Hao, who was shrinking, jumped high and grabbed the rebound.

    Ma Long wanted to press forward immediately "nonono"

    Malone couldn't help but yelled "no" several times. When Zhang Hao grabbed the defensive rebound and dropped it from the air, his arms were like propellers, drawing crazy circles!

    Teammate Jason Williams was so scared that he backed away!  He was afraid of being brushed by Zhang Hao's elbow.

    He knows Zhang Hao¡¯s strength.

    Ma Long also retreated. He used to do this to his opponent, but this time his opponent did it like this, which really shocked him!

    After standing firm, Zhang Hao looked at David Benoit who came after the shot and raised his arm. David Benoit suffered a lot in the confrontation with Zhang Hao. His strength, speed and  If Zhang Hao wants to fight him, he can't even hide

    David Benoit retreated quickly. He followed up because he thought Malone could grab the offensive rebound, and even if things went wrong, he could double attack with Malone.

    David Benoit really wants to score on the rookie with the help of Malone's second brother. Although he is not a star, and not many people care about his face and his thoughts, he still wants to regain his reputation.  , it seems that the ball just now was an opportunity, an opportunity to eat meat behind the second brother Malone.

    Who knows "My younger brother is about to fight for it, why did Brother Ma retreat first?"

    As the saying goes, those who are bold are afraid of those who are stunned.

    Malone is the one who can¡¯t do anything on the court. At this moment, in his eyes, the rookie opposite is just a fool!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The other party is not cowardly at all. He relies on his strength to be stronger than anyone on the other side and wants to undermine the other party's confidence. The other party is so calm that it is outrageous and it is also irritating!

 Chapter 120 120. How dare he do this!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    The most dazzling player of the Lakers on the court is Zhang Hao, but his performance is not the best. In fact, he has played almost half a game, and his scoring and defensive performance can only be said to be okay.

    Under the Jazz's defense, he didn't have many shooting opportunities. What made him dazzling was his toughness. His role was his containment, and his containment was all due to the fact that he had just won the Player of the Month award and was relying on  This tough image brings extra pressure to the Jazz.

    Now the Lakers¡¯ best players on the court are Doug Christie and Jason Williams. Of these two, one is responsible for offense and the other is responsible for grabbing boards, taking advantage of Zhang Hao¡¯s containment power.

    ? ?Also, Del Harris¡¯s tactical adjustments are in place.

    The very single technology means that Zhang Hao does not have many solutions to the problem.

    But he is very positive, patient, and smart, and can always find opportunities to use his abilities.

    At 6 minutes and 52 seconds of the second quarter, Zhang Hao received the ball and encountered Malone's defensive change. He leaned forward and encountered Malone's power movement that was just right during the confrontation and would not be noticed by the referee. Zhang Hao took the opportunity to step forward and turn over.  Jump shot

    Based on their trust in Malone¡¯s defense, no one else on the Jazz team double-teamed him. Zhang Hao, who had gradually adapted to this kind of confrontation, found an opportunity. Zhang Hao¡¯s turnaround jumper hit!

    43 to 44, the Lakers have clung to the point difference from the beginning of the second quarter to the current low-scoring stage!

    The Jazz called a timeout!

    The head coaches of the two teams changed into defensive lineups with a tacit understanding.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Thadler Slater, Anthony Peeler, George Lynch, Magic, and Campbell.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Stockton, Hornacek, David Benoit, Adam Feiki, and Ostertag.

    Returning to the bench, Zhang Hao looked at his statistics. After playing for one and a half quarters, he made 3 of 7 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 10 points.

    There really weren¡¯t many phone calls, but fortunately my teammates played well.

    On the court, Magic went up after resting for nearly a quarter and still played hard. He wanted to beat Malone more than Jordan.

    Taking advantage of Malone's absence, the Jazz's basket protection was strong but their movement was poor. Magic tried his best to help the Lakers fall behind by only 5 points at 10 minutes and 44 seconds of the second quarter, trailing 49 to 54.

    The Lakers called a timeout and replaced the combination of Van Exel, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Magic, and Jason Williams in the last two rounds.

    The Jazz also replaced the combination of Stockton, Hornacek, Chris Morris, Malone, and Spencer with excellent offense and defense.

    After the timeout, neither team scored on the first attack. On the last attack before halftime, Zhang Hao slipped to the baseline and borrowed Jason Williams' pick-and-roll, and Malone switched to him.

    Zhang Hao ran around the edge of the court, entered the three-point line from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, came to the right side of the top arc, received the ball in one step, turned over, left the three-point line, took off, and pushed the shot put

    After almost running around the entire three-point line, Zhang Hao finally got a chance to shoot and hit a three-pointer!

    52 to 54, the Lakers trailed by two points entering halftime!

    ¡­¡­

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Zhang Hao's performance, hit and miss, still looks good.

    But more importantly, Magic had 9 points and 5 assists in the half, and Doug Christie had 12 points and 3 assists in the half. The two of them made good use of Zhang Hao's containment power.

    During the halftime break, Del Harris analyzed the specific situation of the first half.

    The situation is quite serious!

    The Jazz are a brutal team. When they play against weak teams, they like to attack and overwhelm their opponents in one go.

    This is how the Jazz played at the beginning. When the Lakers scored stably in the first quarter, the two teams scored very high in the first quarter.

    But after the Jazz strengthened their confrontation in the last three minutes of the first quarter and continued to strengthen their confrontation in the second quarter, their Lakers' scoring dropped seriously. In the second quarter, they only scored 19 points!

    The players didn¡¯t feel much during the game. The score was tight and it just felt more and more difficult to beat. But when we analyzed it during the break, we could see that the game had entered the rhythm of the Jazz!

    The Jazz scored 22 points in the second quarter and used their slow-paced play against strong teams to unknowingly take the lead.

    After reading Del Harris¡¯ halftime analysis, Zhang Hao came to a conclusion-the Jazz are stronger than the Spurs!

    Although the Spurs' record will most likely be better, Zhang Hao feels that the Jazz are indeed better.

    "In this case, we have to; Just when Malone stood up for a layup, someone hugged his shoulders and pulled him down!

    Zhang Hao!

    Zhang Hao hung directly on Ma Long and knocked Ma Long down!

    Confused

    The fans at the scene were confused, the referees were confused, the Jazz players were confused, and Malone, who was pulled to the ground, was even more confused!

    The Lakers players immediately gathered around Zhang Hao to prevent the rookie from being beaten.

    The magician¡¯s mood is extremely complicated, but he has to stand at the front to protect the rookie, because he is the one that the opponent is least willing to fight and dare not fight, and they are afraid that he will burst into blood.

    On the bench, the Lakers head coach was stunned!

    "That guy actually wanted to do thishe just did it!"

    After the referee reacted, he quickly stopped him in front of a group of Lakers players. This posture looked like the entire Lakers team was going to beat Malone.

    It was only then that the Jazz players realized they should help, but Malone, who was pulled up by Stockton, didn't know what to do.

    This is the first time he has encountered such a situation!  So confused!

    The fall actually didn¡¯t hurt. When the opponent pulled him down, they put him on the ground instead of letting him fall directly to the ground.

    But others felt that Ma Long didn¡¯t make any moves because he was blinded

    The referee called Zhang Hao for a foul on defense. He looked at each other decisively and looked at the replay to think about it.

    There may have been a fight Although it didn't look like it, the head coaches of the two teams immediately came up and took their players back to the bench when the game was stopped.

    After the referees watched the replay, they were experienced enough to easily spot Zhang Hao¡¯s "little moves", which were just vicious fouls, and also included moves to protect the person who was fouled

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????After the fans at the scene reacted and yelled wildly, the referee made a call - Zhang Hao committed a foul, and Malone got two free throws.

    With this call, Sloan is going to go berserk!

    The referee didn¡¯t explain anything and signaled the game to continue.

    Seeing his teammates excitedly talking around Zhang Hao, Magic didn't hear clearly. His teammates were all very excited. Now, he only felt one thing - the heir to the Lakers Kingdom, how could he grow a big bird?  The bad boy feeling?

    ¡­¡­

    The game continued, Malone stood on the free throw line and made two free throws!

    He is very fierce and smart, but he is also a human being. There were too many unexpected situations in tonight's game. He lost his normal rhythm and failed to score any free throws.

    Missing two free throws is almost equal to a mistake!

    It¡¯s like Zhang Hao just ¡°defended¡± Ma Long!

    In the transition between offense and defense, due to Zhang Hao's rough action just now, except for Malone who witnessed it and Stockton who knew Malone, everyone on the Jazz team was confused by Zhang Hao's action and defended Zhang Hao extremely fiercely.

    Zhang Hao's side bears the greatest defensive pressure and works hard to drive the defense to the other side. Magic's side takes the opportunity to rush to close range and score the bottom corner. Van Exel makes a three-pointer!

    It¡¯s not just the Jazz players who are excited. Zhang Hao really made such a defensive move against Malone without fear, and his teammates also became excited!

    The core reason is that Malone is too bullying. The Lakers players, who stand on the moral high ground, don't think there is anything wrong with what Zhang Hao did. They are in a positive mood and feel that they are the righteous party!

    Van Exel is a player who is easily affected by emotions. The happier he is, the better he plays!

    With a heart of justice, Van Exel caught the ball and hit a three-pointer!

    55 to 54, the Lakers lead by one point!

    I¡¯m getting excited!  Zhang Hao used every available condition from the beginning to stir up the emotions of his teammates!

 Chapter 121 121. Becoming a bad boy (5000 words please subscribe)

    In the past, the Jazz used rough fouls and confrontations to affect the opponent's rhythm.

    ¡°Not only do they not feel that this is wrong, but they feel that it is very honorable and a sign of toughness.

    Opponents cannot understand them. Teams that have the strength to defeat them rely on strength, calm response, more accurate shooting and other relatively conventional methods to defeat the Jazz.

    Normally speaking, as an opponent, you are inherently disgusted with the Jazz's behavior.

    Just like the Bad Boys of the past, opponents are all thinking about how to defeat them from the perspective of strength, and no one wants to deal with them from the aspect of countering violence with violence.

    The more direct reason is that the other party has villains.

    Needless to say, those in the Bad Boys Legion, Malone of the Jazz is a famous villain, and there are many shocking scenes of flagrant fouls.

    But the Lakers chose to look at it from a different angle. They did not feel that they were fighting violence with violence. In Zhang Hao's words, it was - we were implementing justice!

    The defensive players of the top teams were eager to defend Malone, because restricting Malone would be equivalent to destroying half of the Jazz team.

    But there are only a few top teams. Even for a team like the Spurs, David Robinson is not willing to guard Malone anymore, or even to face him.

    For the stars of not-so-strong teams, they can¡¯t win a championship. They don¡¯t have to worry about matchups in the playoffs. It¡¯s good to make it to the playoffs. Losing one or two games in the regular season doesn¡¯t matter¡ª  This is how players on most teams fare against teams with bad reputations.

    But tonight, the Lakers players have been very active in "carrying out justice" since Zhang Hao's rough defense.

    They believe that their violent actions are not to fight violence with violence, but to implement their justice!

    This actually made the Jazz team dumbfounded

    Even Malone has never encountered such a situation. Thinking about the Bad Boys era, he played against the Pistons not too many times but not too many times. In that era, the Jazz and Pistons played against each other 17 times, with mixed results and almost no appearances.  There are very few conflicts that are too big or too small, because both sides are afraid of each other.

    Even the Bad Boys didn¡¯t dare to deal with him like this, but the Lakers in front of them did!

    This made Ma Long even if he wanted to find an opportunity to become a criminal, he didn't know whether he should do it or not.

    Looking at the posture of the Lakers, he believed that as long as he moved his elbow, a group of Lakers would dare to come up and beat him!

    Ma Long is not afraid of fighting, but it also depends on who the opponent is and at what time.

    At this stage in the middle of the season, the only difference is the outcome of a regular season game; the opponent is the Lakers, a team that currently looks like it will perform well in the regular season, but that's it.

    Everyone in the Jazz team thought they were going to win the championship, but when they encountered the Lakers, they turned into vicious dogs For the Jazz, whose goal was to win the championship, the Lakers were like a bunch of vicious dogs.

    This situation made Malone and Jazz players afraid to make big moves on the defensive end.

    If it causes a conflict, a real fight, something really happens, they will obviously suffer even more!

    The older the Jianghu are, the less courageous they are. It¡¯s not that they have lost their courage, but that they have more worries.

    Malone began to fear the Lakers' crazy mania, and the Jazz players were also affected.

    Ever since, judging from the scene, the Lakers began to take advantage!  The score also confirms this!

    In the second half of the third quarter, Zhang Hao hit a mid-range turnaround jumper from the baseline. The Lakers led the Jazz by 4 points 67-63!

    The number of shots he takes is getting less and less. He originally took fewer shots in the beginning. When the Lakers want to attack around him, the number of shots he takes is limited by the opponent. Many of the shots are forced shots passed to him because there is no other way in the tactics. From the end of the first quarter,  For more than 3 minutes now, the frequency of Zhang Hao's shots has been decreasing.

    Especially after his big-movement foul at the beginning of the third quarter ignited the flames of the Lakers' "implementation of justice", the defense he encountered became tighter and tighter, but he felt that the opponent's actions were not so rough.

    On the other hand, the Lakers are the ones who are getting more and more rough!

    However, the more this happens, the more Zhang Hao cherishes every opportunity to take action and is very focused every time What he lacks most is concentration!

    It¡¯s time for the Jazz to attack again. Malone caught the ball after the pick-and-roll and met Zhang Hao¡¯s defensive fadeaway jumper!

    For more than half a quarter, in the mid-range, Zhang Hao, Magic, Donyel Marshall and Jason Williams, who came off the bench, all fiercely confronted Malone. When Malone reached the basket, Campbell roughly pushed up and committed a foul.  It doesn't matter, I just want to give Ma Long a chance."JusticeJustice, you xxx, who will take out my balls"

    After a short period of tossing, the excitement of the rest of the Lakers cooled down a bit, and they felt that the fans were getting restless, so they quickly carried Zhang Hao and ran towards the tunnel.

    I am afraid that the rookie will be beaten to death by the fans at the scene

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "The Rookie Facing the Iron Elbow"

    "Ma Long is frustrated?  The Lakers rookie is extremely tough!  ¡·

    "The most direct way to deal with villain superstars"

    "The Lakers' bad boy attributes?  ¡·

    ""

    ""

    After the game between the Lakers and Jazz, this game exploded!

    As early as the first quarter, some TV sports programs began to broadcast some news about this game. What happened on the scene was too hot.

    No one expected that the Lakers would play such a game.

    ??Among them, Zhang Hao¡¯s fearless hard-steel Malone has really changed many fans¡¯ impressions of him.

    Many fans¡¯ understanding of Zhang Hao was only from hearing rumors and seeing some newspaper reports that may not be considered serious media. Their understanding was very one-sided, or what they learned was simply incorrect.

    However, after playing more than 30 games in the season, Zhang Hao still had two games that allowed many fans to get to know him, and he seized the opportunity!  He showed two characteristics in these two games.

    The first time was Magic¡¯s comeback against the Bulls. He showed his shooting ability, tough character, big heart, and killer kills

    This game is the one where his fame soared and he really entered the fans' horizons.

    The subsequent Player of the Month award made him popular, but the controversy he already had became even more controversial.

    And this game against the Jazz gave people a new understanding of him.

    He looks harmless, but in addition to his talent, calmness, and big heart, he is also tougher than you can imagine!

    Facing Ma Long¡¯s big elbow, he didn¡¯t give in at all!

    ¡°Moreover, he used the same rough moves to fight back when Malone attacked, and led his teammates to fight even more villains than villains!

    As for the Lakers fans¡¯ denial after the game that they were using violence to fight violence, but ¡°enforcing justice¡± they were treated as a joke.

    Through his recent performance, Zhang Hao has made more fans in North America aware of him. This Jazz game made him even more popular!

    ¡­¡­

    Bad boy

    Zhang Hao felt awkward looking at this adjective, but he didn't reject it too much.

    One of his biggest gains from the game against the Jazz was that he discovered that a bad person must be punished by a bad person, and how to defeat the opponent with strength That is indeed very good, but doesn't he have the strength now? To be able to do what he is now, it is completely  It exceeded his expectations, but he had to compete with those superstars. If a serious superstar loses, he will lose. But when playing against a player like Malone, he can only be more hateful than the opponent!

    Winning was super exciting, but something even more exciting happened after the game!

    ¡°A newbie being baptized?:

    Specially signed player Zhang Hao shined in the game against the Jazz and won the favor of a large number of fans after the game, but it also caused greater controversy.

    "Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Bronze Medal: Karl Malone's Elbow (The Uncrowned King?)"

    ? Maybe it won¡¯t work to defend against the low post under the basket?

    Or does it only work when you swing your elbow?

    ¡°Whatever, let¡¯s try it with Jason during the training match and see the effect¡­¡±

    "What does the advancement method mean? The Uncrowned Kingdo I have to fail to win the championship in order to advance? It would be better not to advance, but then there is a question mark"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhang Hao stopped thinking about it, went to bed, entered the learning mode, and reviewed the game against the Jazz

    After entering the learning mode and starting the review, Zhang Hao received a prompt that the remaining lifespan was 579 days and the available lifespan was 578 days.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    On the morning of January 2, when Zhang Hao followed the team back to Los Angeles, he saw that the airport had entered a state of control!

    Fans from Los Angeles actually came to pick up the plane!  Although there are usually people picking up the airport, there are only a few die-hard fans in groups. This time, so many people came that the arrival level was already jammed!  Zhang Hao has been playing for the Lakers for a month, and this is the first time he has seen so many fans come to pick him up at the airport!

    This is a situation that occasionally occurs when popular rock bands, popular idols, and popular singers come to Los Angeles for public events.

    Looking at the "x" support signs that can be seen everywhere, there are also some T-shirts with "x" printed on them that may be homemade or made by small workshops Although Zhang Hao knew that he was popular, he did not expect to be so popular!

    ¡°Fortunately, I registered the trademark of  cooperate¡­¡­"

    Under the escort of the security personnel who had been prepared long ago, Zhang Hao and his group got on the bus arranged by the team and took them back to the training hall. Before setting off to the away game, the players who drove themselves gave the car keys to the team staff. They were responsible for  Drive back to the training hall.

    The team bus entered the town of Inglewood and passed through a street. Zhang Hao saw a billboard of himself and couldn't help but touch the teammate next to him with his arm and said, "Hey, look, big star."

    The magician next to him glanced at Zhang Hao and sneered.

    Zhang Hao then remembered that after the magician returned to the team, he took the initiative to sit next to the magician so that the veteran would not be lonely

    "Damn! He's a clown again!"

    Zhang Hao is depressed and rarely wants to show off

    The magician looked at the depression on Zhang Hao's cold face. It was rare to feel such an emotion from his rookie.

    ¡°I finally look like a young man!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Relying on Zhang Hao's 8-for-18 shooting, including 1-for-2 three-pointers, and 7-for-9 free throws, he scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 blocks. Relying on Magic's 17 points, 8 assists, and the winning little sky hook, the team's hard work  Try your best The Lakers had just narrowly defeated the Jazz by 4 points. Zhang Hao had just stunned the basketball circle once again. He didn't have time to enjoy the attention. He returned to Los Angeles. After taking a lunch break, in the evening, the Lakers ushered in back-to-back home and away games.  The second game was against the Philadelphia 76ers at home.

    Jerry Stackhouse, after the draft and before the start of the regular season, was considered to be the strongest scorer among the 1995 rookies.

    This Jordan's junior, in high school, won the title of "Best High School Student in America" ??in his senior year. In college, he had the title of "Next MJ" and was the third overall pick in the NBA Draft.  He entered the NBA as a player, and he was selected by the very popular Philadelphia 76ers. His attention is very high.

    but¡­¡­

    Looking at the No. 9 pick who was holding the ball at the opposite free throw line, motionless and indifferent, but standing like this and letting the fans cheer, Jerry Stackhouse's jealousy was palpable!

    Averaged 24.86 points per game, which is simply outrageous!

    Defeating Jordan twice made him famous. During the first stage of his fame, he defeated David Robinson and the Utah duo. Among them, yesterday's game against the Jazz, The strength is not so well controlled, and there is often the possibility of offensive fouls.

    However, having just received this brand new medal and the bonuses were so strong, Zhang Hao was very excited during the competition. He often couldn't help but throw elbows, even more than usual But his opponent was completely unprepared for this.  Received two offensive fouls.

    However, on the defensive end, as he thought, the effect was not obvious.

    For example, if he is normally holding the opponent in position, he will not have the opportunity to hit the opponent with his elbow. Maybe there is. For example, Malone makes good use of this. Occasionally, he has the opportunity to use his strength to attack the opponent on the defensive end. Malone grasps it very well.  .

    But he, Zhang, hasn¡¯t adapted yet on the offensive end, let alone the defensive end, which is Malone¡¯s more than ten years of experience.

    However, except when "swinging the elbow" can trigger the passive of "Marlon's Elbow", it has no effect at other times, which is not entirely a bad thing. For example, it does not affect his shooting!

    If you really have 127 kilograms of tonnage + 90 strength rating, the shooting you are used to before will definitely be greatly affected.

    "You have to adapt as soon as possible and grasp the opportunity to exert force, otherwise this unicorn arm will only increase the possibility of offensive fouls"

    As for the loud whispers of his teammates, what can Zhang Hao do if he hears them?

    He really "learned" part of Malone after the game with Malone!

    At this time, Zhang Hao saw Stackhouse from the 76ers taking off his training uniform and getting ready to play.

    Before the game against the 76ers, Zhang Hao was worried that his team was in poor condition due to back-to-back games. He was also worried that the opposite rookie who had the physical strength to throw more than 30 times in a game would play against him.  Regardless of whether he loses the ball or scores to Stackhouse, his first goal of "this is my stage" to increase his lifespan will be ended.

    He couldn¡¯t bear to do this, so before the game he was thinking of ways to take advantage of the opponent¡¯s weaknesses and how to limit Stackhouse¡¯s shots.

    Who knew that with just one elbow at the beginning, the opponent would be killed

    Although Zhang Hao wants to easily complete the task and get the 10-day lifespan reward, he also wants to have a good fight with Stackhouse, his opponent in the same class with comprehensive offensive skills.

    The opportunity came!

    "I am currently leading by 11 points. The coach wants others to rest more and take advantage of my physical strength. Then I will shoot more. I will not lose to this guy I will double-team him! Look at him  Once you get the ball, double-team!"

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao's eyes became intense as he stared at Stackhouse.

    On the other side, Stackhouse calmed down for a long time before getting rid of the pain of having a big hammer hit his chest. Then he saw Zhang Hao waving his arms and claws in the first quarter

    Sometimes, people only see what they want to see. Stackhouse didn't notice that Zhang Hao's defensive performance was average It wasn't particularly bad, but it was average. He only saw Zhang Hao's offensive performance.  Rough action for an offensive foul.

    He has lost the idea of ??competing with Zhang Hao - he is going to be beaten to death!

    At this time, he felt a fiery look in his eyes. He turned around and saw that it was Zhang Hao!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s poker face has an expression!  Very excited!

    "What is this guy going to doCoach, I don't want to play, I'm injured, really injured!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 123 123. I will always be 206 centimeters!  (Happy New Year)

    Although, by the middle of the season, when talking about rookies, Zhang Hao was mentioned for scoring, Antonio McDyess was mentioned for defense, Damon Stoudamire was mentioned for immediate combat ability and organization, and talent was mentioned.  What Chaoqun mentioned was Garnett. Stackhouse is often ignored by the media, but when looking for an embellishment, he will still mention Jerry Stackhouse, whose template was Jordan during the draft.

    Although when Stackhouse is in the news, he often scores points with high shooting and low efficiency, and even high shooting may not lead to high scores, but he has also worked hard to gain some fame.

    ??Excellent physical fitness, rich scoring methodsthe talent is there.

    But he has a fiery personality, extremely conceited and has more shortcomings.

    He once said in an interview: My playing time cannot be too little, my right to shoot must be guaranteed, and I must help create shooting opportunities for me.

    When asked about the topic of college senior Jordan, he once said: I am not afraid of Jordan. I don¡¯t need his guidance. I will be a player representing North Carolina in the future.

    Such a player who loves to take shots, has a bad temper, and is very conceited, after reappearing in the second quarter of the game against the Lakers, he began to actively pass the ball to his teammates!

    Have you changed your character?

    No, as soon as he got the ball, the rookie of the same class who almost killed him with an elbow ran towards him

    Although the opponent¡¯s expression was indifferent and it seemed like they were just actively attacking, that is, a normal unlimited attack on the opponent¡¯s first scorer But Stackhouse believed that the opponent wanted to find an opportunity to take advantage of him!

    Especially in the second quarter when I saw Zhang Hao turn around during an offense and directly knock over their 76ers substitute center LaSalle Thompson for a layup Stackhouse felt that Zhang Hao failed to give him another elbow.  He took it out on his teammates!

    At this moment, Stackhouse realized that he was not so fearless.

    Stackhouse really felt the feeling of death when he was unprepared and Zhang Hao pushed his elbow with all his strength to clear the way - when people are afraid of something, the brain will always try to find ways to get rid of that thing.  Things are even more terrible than you can imagine.

    Stackhouse is scared!

    Sending 4 assists in a single quarter is definitely an extraordinary performance for Stackhouse, but with his style of play, all the 76ers' little fighting spirit was annihilated

    By the second half, 76ers coach John Lucas simply did not dare to let Stackhouse play again.

    ? Stackhouse gave John Lucas the feeling of being beaten and losing confidence.

    Although John Lucas didn't like Stackhouse from the beginning, especially now that Zhang Hao is playing better and better, he dislikes Stackhouse even more, but after all, this is the genius selected with the third overall pick.  , has the talent to become an All-Star player, and is the only player worth cultivating for the team at present. He still needs to be taken good care of.

    Zhang Hao played a few minutes in the third quarter and then went to rest. Del Harris replaced the water cooler lineup, because by the middle of the third quarter, the Lakers already led the 76ers by 26 points, 68-52.

    Zhang Hao played 29 minutes in the third quarter, making 9 of 16 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He easily scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

    Stackhouse¡¯s side scored 2 points and 4 assists in the second quarter

    When garbage time came, Zhang Hao sat on the bench. This game made him understand something - "If my goal is to become a superstar, then the task of dealing with fellow rookies in my rookie season should be as simple as this!"

    115 to 91, the Lakers easily defeated the 76ers and won 6 consecutive victories, improving their record to 24 wins and 8 losses!

    After the game, Stackhouse only scored 2 points and was beaten so hard that he "didn't dare to play." This game became the focus of the media and fans.

    Some reporters discovered that Zhang Hao almost never lost when he played against players of the same generation!  From the beginning of the season to the present, Zhang Hao is like a shadow hanging over the players of his generation.

    The topic of rookies is always something that the media and fans talk about. No one can say what achievements a rookie will have in the future.

    Although the current draft in this era is mainly based on "immediate combat ability", because most of those talents have played in college for several years, their skills are mature, and they can play the role of stars once they enter the NBA.

    But occasionally there are players who didn¡¯t play very well when they first entered the NBA, but after playing for a few more years, they gradually became top stars. Rodman, Stockton and others are like this.

    In addition, Zhang Hao's three offensive fouls in a single game have also become one of the topics discussed by the media. Although there was no live broadcast, there were scenes of Zhang Hao roughly pushing his opponent over or knocking his opponent over with his arms during the offense.  In the news on some TV stations, Ma Long was lying on the bed.??90, strength 90 (84 explosive power), jumping 94, flexibility 95, physical strength 92

    Shooting: 65 three-pointers (80 three-pointers in the top arc area, 63 in other positions), 91 mid-range shots, 90 layups

    Skills: 63 ball control, 68 passing, 91 catching and shooting, 67 catching and turning jump shot, 65 post-turning jump shot"

    On January 3, I spent the whole morning with Pierce learning the turning and cutting technique when playing from behind, and practiced passing and shooting all afternoon.

    On January 4th, I continued to learn defensive steps with James Worthy and Magic in the morning, and in the afternoon I conducted preparation training with the team for the game against the Heat.

    On January 5th, on the morning of the home game against the Heat, Zhang Hao practiced his post-up jump shot and post-up turnaround. As he practiced, his post-up jump shot exceeded 65, and with the previous layup, he finally improved to 90.  , the system prompt is coming!  The ability evaluation has been increased to 74!

    "We have reached a small bottleneck again Why have I grown taller again? Stop No, I will always be 206 centimeters tall! I can't grow any more! I have also gained one kilogram in weight this month Fortunately, for the time being, the speed is the same.  The flexibility has not been affected yet. It should be that the increase in weight and height has not yet affected the speed and flexibility"

    Improvement comes naturally, and Zhang Hao is not too excited about reaching the small bottleneck of 74 ability evaluation.

    "The evaluation of my ability does not take into account defense. The subjective consciousness is very important. The evaluation of my ability is purely based on skills, physical fitness, shooting, plus my knowledge of running positions, etc. Compared with other players of the same type, my ability should exceed 80  The evaluation is correctunder the right environment, my playing style should be more effective than the core playing style of players with an ability evaluation of 80!"

    "But it's not enough. I have to train and learn patiently. If we play a series with a team like the Jazz in the playoffs, our Lakers have almost no chance of winning. Adding O'Neal may not necessarily have a chance of winning. I have to be stronger.  That¡¯s it¡­Fortunately, I¡¯m still young¡­¡±

    Looking at the 595 days left to live, Zhang Hao has more confidence in living longer. He is not as anxious as he was when the regular season just started with only 200 days left.

    ??The original intention will not change!  The goal is to live until death!

    ¡­¡­

    "Jason, come here and let's try again"

    "I don't!"

    "Give it a try! I promise I won't use force this time."

    "Don't even think about it! I will never agree!"

    Jason Williams decisively refused Zhang Hao¡¯s request to practice confrontation.

    This guy, after playing against Malone, suddenly started to fall in love with the iron elbow to clear the way!

    Jason Williams has no objection to Zhang Hao¡¯s desire to develop an iron elbow offense. It has nothing to do with him. He is a rebounder, just a rebounder.

    But Zhang Hao wants to train with him!

    Thinking of being slapped on the chest by Zhang Hao for a long time yesterday, Jason Williams felt desperate - I don't want the 500 yuan No!  Still have to ask for it!

    Jason Williams can still hide, but Magic can't "hide".

    The genius who the logo man spent all his money to get back is a real genius. The future superstar of his own team - this is how Magic judged Zhang Hao's talent.

    But the genius he thought would succeed him looked nothing like him!

    On the contrary, it is more like his lifelong enemy Larry Bird and the player he hates most now, Malone!

    Mourning said that, but he rarely smiled at his opponent before the game, patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder, and then went back to the Heat bench.

    He only said two sentences in total, but it was already very good. Most of the time, Mourning didn't talk much during the game, and even less often talked to his opponents.

    Today is the day he wants to say hello to the magician before the game, and by the way, he has a few words with Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao said less and only said one sentence.

    Mourning returned to his bench and looked at the rookie opposite who talked little. He felt a little regretful, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

    Listening to Pat Riley and taking the initiative to make friends with stars from other teams is not what Mourning wants to do.

    Now that Zhang Hao has come to Los Angeles to play, he cannot choose to join the Heat because he wants to change to a city with a better environment. He no longer has to do such things as hooking up, but Mourning is quite happy.

    It¡¯s just for my taste to chat more with Zhang Hao. Mourning himself is the kind of person who is unsmiling in public But that rookie is not only unsmiling in public, but also rarely talks in private.

    Although he is very polite, he just likes to end the topic and seems to have no intention of communicating in depth.

    Putting aside his appreciation for his character, Mourning doesn¡¯t know how to describe Zhang Hao¡¯s performance as the season progresses.

    Rapid progress!

    He watched the game between the Lakers and Jazz and compared it with the beginning of the season. Zhang Hao has made huge improvements in many aspects.

    What he admires the most is the scene where Zhang Hao steels himself against Malone. If there are any players who are not afraid of Malone He, Mourning, is one of them. He dares to fight back with an iron elbow to see who is stronger.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao looked at the player detection reports of the opposing players and recalled the Heat's scouting reports. As the season progresses, the Heat have truly become the shadow of the Iron-blooded Legion.

    But the offense is too bad, the average points conceded per game is controlled at around 93 points, and the points scored per game are not as high as the points conceded per game.

    The Jazz and Pacers, two teams led by Sloan and Larry Brown, are not as slow as the Heat. The tactics of those two teams have multiple rhythms that can be changed, but the strongest point is grinding.  It's just rhythm play.

    And the Heat looking at the oil guy on the opposite side who once created the showtime era, before this season, no one could have imagined that the Heat would play like this.

    "Alonzo Mourning, ability evaluation 95 averaged 23.5 points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.9 blocks per game"

    This season, the individual performance of the league's centers is temporarily ranked fourth. O'Neal has not found his form for a while after his comeback. Mourning has temporarily become one of the four best centers.

    The fans at the scene did not care about the Heat. The Heat have played 33 games so far, with 15 wins and 18 losses, ranking only tenth in the Eastern Conference. For such an opponent, the Lakers fans are not very enthusiastic, and they have not even played before.  Zhang Hao was enthusiastic when he was on the 76ers team with fellow rookie Stackhouse.

    At 7:58 pm, Zhang Hao came to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder.

    Today he was very happy. He met several insider superstars in succession. Those insider superstars were quite targeting him, not just on the court, but on the court. As a rookie, he felt honored.

    But in terms of attitude, they are not very friendly.

    But today Mourning was quite friendly, and Zhang Hao was happy about it.

    Just when Zhang Hao applied the powder and was about to go on the field, the scene suddenly became agitated. Directly behind the technical stage and in the direction where Zhang Hao raised his head after applying the powder, a large group of fans stood up in unison. There were probably hundreds of them.  Thousands of people!

    "?"

    Zhang Hao looked around, nothing happened!  Other players from both teams also looked at the group of people standing up in astonishment. Not only the players, but also other fans around them were also surprised.

    What happened?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    People who saw this scene were stunned for a moment, and then the scene became excited!

    Cheers, laughter, boos one after another!

    Many fans followed suit and pushed the shot put, making the scene even more lively.

    Many players on the Lakers team are already laughing.

    Because Zhang Hao joined the Lakers in a special way. He was a quasi-All-Star guard and an All-Star center in exchange for top chips. Before, they saw Zhang Hao's beautiful mid-range shot but such a three-pointer.When Owens' defense was in place, he stepped out towards the three-point line. He turned over and took off outside the three-point line. When he stepped out, he had already got the ball to the right side of his chest. When he finished turning over, he pushed the ball out.  ¡­

    With this shooting posture, Owens made up for it and didn¡¯t have time to interfere!

    Zhang Hao made a three-pointer without interference!

    29 square meters!  The Lakers didn't call a timeout, but the Heat were beaten and called a timeout!

    When Zhang Hao pushed the ball out with a shot put shot, the fans at the scene were already excited.

    When the ball thrown by Zhang Hao fell into the basket, the fans at the scene started cheering!

    I don¡¯t know which area to start from. When Pat Riley called a timeout, countless fans at the scene began to imitate Zhang Hao¡¯s shot put three-pointer!

 Chapter 125 125. Who is the one who was criminalized?  (Happy New Year, please subscribe!)

    The Heat are really afraid of this kind of player who is famous all over the world.

    If the opponent's singles strength is the center, the Heat are not afraid. For example, Olajuwon and Mourning are not timid at all. The two have mixed success and losses in their matches, with similar statistics. They can guard each other to death. If they just want to fight,  Defensively, Mourning is worthy of Olajuwon.

    If the opponent plays as a team, the Heat are not afraid. If they only focus on defense, they can use the iron-blooded defense built around Mourning to torment the opponent.

    But when the opponent has a player who is dominant in singles on the perimeter, has an advantage in size and strength, and can shoot accurately, the Heat really can't defend him!

    Kurt Thomas has tried his best and almost went berserk. He used all kinds of little tricks. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was dirty.

    " However, Zhang Hao's method of dealing with it is very simple, hit hard, hit hard, break the opponent's press, and hit the bull's-eye!

    Del Harris made an accurate judgment this time, and Zhang Hao responded positively - in the eyes of fans and Lakers management, the two are a match made in heaven.

    Although, Zhang Hao has a cold personality, Del Harris can't stand Zhang Hao, and neither of them has the idea of ????exchanging ideas to understand each other The logo man looked at this wonderful combination and thought it was very interesting.

    However, with the score of 29 to 29, although Zhang Hao¡¯s three-pointer tied the score, the logo man still did not dare to make a judgment on this game.

    The Heat's record this season is not great, but they are becoming more and more tenacious. On January 3, the Bulls defeated the Heat in three overtimes. After the first two overtimes, the score was 92-92, and the last overtime was 92-92.  Jordan scored 8 points in the game, and the Bulls won 100-92.

    But the logo man is not worried. As for the game, it is left to the players to play. It doesn¡¯t matter whether they win or lose. As long as it doesn¡¯t affect Zhang Hao¡¯s competition for the All-Star starting spot.

    Now it seems that this situation should have no impact. Zhang Hao's outside-level athletic ability and center-style back-up play can restrain the Heat just like that man.

    11 points in the half quarter helped the Lakers tie the score when the team's offense completely stagnated.

    This performance, even if he lost in the end, Zhang Hao was still outstanding.

    Of course, the logo man is also looking forward to how his players and coaching staff will respond when facing a team like the Heat?

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, Zhang Hao, who rested for half of the first quarter, continued to play after playing half of the second quarter.

    ??Also playing on the field are Sadler Slater, Doug Christie, George Lynch, and Campbell.

    The Heat did not rotate, and the combination of Coles, Rex Chapman, Owens, Kurt Thomas, and Mourning came on the field.

    This season, three of the Heat's five starters average more than 36 minutes per game, the other two average 33 minutes per game, and one averages 25 minutes per game. The playing time of the rotation lineup is also very concentrated.

    Pat Riley uses the main force to death and is able to ensure long playing time during the season through devil training. He has continued to shine since joining the Heat.

    When the Heat attack, Mourning needs to stabilize the situation and come up to play Campbell alone.

    Before suffering from kidney disease, Mourning was really good in low singles. He withstood Campbell's weight, turned around, avoided Zhang Hao's contraction interference, and hit a layup with a low hand before Campbell could turn around!

    Just like Zhang Hao was dissatisfied with the lack of significant changes in the score and lack of substantial improvement in the team's offense after playing so many rounds in the first half of the second quarter, Mourning is not willing to play too many singles like this, because such singles,  Even if the efficiency is high, neither Zhang Hao nor Mourning can keep playing in isolation like this. Relying on strength to play alone is too exhausting, and it is impossible to maintain continuity in such a low-scoring and high-confrontation game.

    In the transition between offense and defense, Sedale Slater advanced to the frontcourt and continued to pass the ball to Zhang Hao in the middle distance of the left baseline.

    This time Zhang Hao is not going to play singles, but is going to use the containment power in this position to try to attract the defense and launch an attack.

    Sure enough, Rex Chapman, who was guarding Doug Christie on the same sideline, immediately attacked Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao was about to pass to Doug Christie when he was suddenly pushed from behind. This was not ordinary.  Not just a bump, but a very rough bump!

    Zhang Hao grasped the ball and did not pass it out. Rex Chapman, who rushed up, confronted Zhang Hao. Kurt Thomas, who was flanking from behind, palmed the ball caught by Zhang Hao. Rex Chapman grabbed it.  To the ball!

    Zhang Hao quickly stretched out his hand to grab back, unconsciously pushed away Kurt Thomas who was clamping him with his elbow, and knocked Kurt Thomas over with one elbow

    The referee blew the whistle!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s first reaction was that the whistle came a little late, but when he sawNing's defense was passed back to Doug Christie who came to the right side of the free throw line to take over. Zhang Hao, who was fighting with Kurt Thomas in the middle distance on the left, judged when Sadler Slater broke in.  Understand the moving line of the ball and cut in immediately!

    Kurt Thomas was very close. After Zhang Hao received the ball on the left side of the three-second zone, he used his arms to push away Kurt Thomas. Campbell struggled to hold Mourning, and Zhang Hao took off before Mourning could return to defense.  !

    Seeing this, Mourning stopped trying to get back inside. If he goes in now, he can only act as a background, or actively act as a background.

    Just when Zhang Hao jumped high, raised the ball above his head and was about to smash it down, and the fans at the scene started cheering wildly, an arm wrapped around Zhang Hao's neck!

    "no"

    The moment Zhang Hao felt suffocated, he heard the exclamations from the fans outside the baseline!

    "ah¡­¡­"

    A second later, a shrill scream reached the ears of people nearby.

    "ah¡­¡­"

    The interval was very short, and immediately there was another shrill scream.

    The fans at the scene stood up immediately, exclaimed, or cursed

    "Cough cough cough"

    ?????????????? Then there was a series of coughing sounds followed by the kind of miserable screams that seemed to want to say something but nothing could be said!

    The scene suddenly became quiet, only coughs and screams were heard.

    The players of the two teams did not react at first, but the referee reacted immediately and rushed forward to prevent the conflict from expanding, to prevent fights, or at least to prevent large-scale fights.

    The referee who enforces the law now regrets allowing the confrontation to expand. Referees also have a tendency to call penalties. Tonight's referee Steve Jarvie is the type who tends to see the game full of confrontation. He called the game against the Bad Boys back then.  He is the referee with the most.

    He is usually the referee who arranges games for the Heat in the league. He really didn¡¯t expect that the Lakers, an aristocratic team, would actually play violence against violence and hand-to-hand fighting with the Heat. As a result, some players were playing in the game.  Out of control!

    After the Lakers players reacted, they were ready to fuck Kurt Thomas.

    Heat players are ready to help after being shocked by Kurt Thomas' dirty tricks.

    However, everyone¡¯s movements finally stopped

    This moment comes too fast!  They saw Zhang Hao being pulled down by Kurt Thomas who was fouled by a flagrant foul, but for some reason, Kurt Thomas became the one underneath instead, and Zhang Hao was on top of Kurt Thomas!

    ¡°I saw Zhang Hao covering his neck and turning over and kneeling on the floor to cough, while Kurt Thomas was lying on the floor twisting his waist and covering his neck and screaming heartbreakingly

    What's happening here?

    Why does the criminal seem to be worse?

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 126 126. The gentleman on the front line (Happy New Year, please subscribe)

    The referee is indeed a professional, and he quickly asked the doctors of both teams to come on stage.

    Soon, the Heat staff prepared stretchers and the Lakers staff prepared ice packs, which were available in these locker rooms.

    It¡¯s not that the Heat have committed bad crimes. Although Mourning¡¯s bad crimes are not as famous as Malone¡¯s, he will not be softer than Malone when he commits bad crimes.

    Under the training of Pat Riley, Kurt Thomas' own gene of advocating violence also quickly emerged. In terms of the degree of dirty play, he is still a rookie and has only played for less than half a season. He is almost already a member of the Heat.  The one who plays the dirtiest ball.

    So, although it was sudden, it was not surprising that Kurt Thomas would do that.

    Pat Riley did not teach a player to be a bad foul, nor would he tell the player to do so, but if the player did so, he would not refuse, and he would not replace the player just because he had such thoughts.  On the contrary, if they are players from a rival team, he will take the initiative to keep those players who cause trouble on the court.

    It¡¯s just that in this situation, the Heat players are very confused. How come the offender was carried away on a stretcher, and the offended one can still walk back to the bench to get ice?

    After the head coaches of the two teams made preliminary diagnostic reports and saw the condition of the other party, the first words that came to their minds were surprisingly consistent: "Is this okay?"

    Del Harris¡¯s mood was one of rejoicing, and then he decisively put away his anxious and manic expression just now. Thinking of how anxious and angry he was urging the team doctor to check quickly it¡¯s all because of this that he was so scared!

    Pat Riley wants to curse!  This is really embarrassing!  Forget about the criminal, this is not important, but the criminal actually got himself involved!

    At this time, the referee called up the replay of the game to see what kind of foul was going to be given.

    It must have been a foul, but because the referee was prepared to punish the foul, the fans and both sides of the game had to see the specific situation to make the decision more convincing.

    After Kurt Thomas was pushed away, he jumped up directly behind Zhang Hao and reached out to hook Zhang Hao's neck with his forearm!

    When the slow playback reaches this scene, the technical desk presses pause to show the details.

    Seeing this, the fans at the scene screamed and cursed again.

    The Lakers players were excited. On the Heat side, although they were not guilty before, this time they felt that this move was too cruel. It was a life-threatening move!

    However, although some people on the Heat team couldn't help baring their teeth or shaking their heads when they saw this, they looked at Zhang Hao, who was tilting his neck up to receive ice compresses and massages What kind of luck did you have to be to encounter such an action?  After being raped, his neck was just pulled?  It can¡¯t even be called an injury!  Because they heard the Lakers team doctor told Lakers coach Del Harris that Zhang Hao might just have dizziness and bruises from being hit on the neck.

    The technical station continued to play the slow-motion replay. Just when Kurt Thomas was about to pull Zhang Hao down with a chokehold, for some reason, Kurt Thomas suddenly pulled Zhang Hao's shoulders. Zhang Hao was pulled down and his head hit him.  On Kurt Thomas' neck

    This time, everyone understood why Kurt Thomas was clutching his neck after falling to the ground. He looked even worse than Zhang Hao who was being choked. They all rolled their eyes and drooled at the corners of their mouths.

    But why is this happening?

    Kurt Thomas had a conscience, so he didn¡¯t continue the chokehold but pulled Zhang Hao¡¯s shoulder and ended up hurting himself?

    Soon, the playback of another shot answered everyone¡¯s confusion.

    When Kurt Thomas jumped up and choked Zhang Hao to pull Zhang Hao down, his landing foot slipped, and his lower body fell directly under Zhang Hao's body following the force feedback. In a panic, Kurt Thomas looked for support and pulled him back.  Zhang Hao's shoulder, and then Zhang Hao's head, which he pulled down, hit his neck.

    But this is not the worst thing about Kurt Thomas. The worst thing is that after Zhang Hao lost his center of gravity, he failed to care about his neck and made protective movements. When he fell, his elbow fell right on Kurt Thomas' waist!

    When seeing this, many people at the scene took a deep breath!

    At this moment, many people actually felt sympathy for Kurt Thomas

    Because it¡¯s really too miserable!

    But immediately, everyone thought that Kurt Thomas deserved it!  Even some Heat players feel this way.

    After all, it doesn¡¯t mean that if the head coach acquiesces and the team culture is like this, everyone in this team will agree with it.

    It was obvious that Kurt Thomas was unable to defend himself and was always evil. He wanted to commit a crime against Zhang Hao and carried out the action to pull Zhang Hao down. However, when he pulled Zhang Hao down, he suffered the consequences at his own peril, causing himself to suffer two consequences.  Blow.

    &nbs?? is equally big, but when both sides consume a lot of money, he Zhang has an advantage - he can counterattack, and his opponent can't keep up!

    rush!

    ¡°I haven¡¯t felt like this for a long time. After arriving with the Lakers, there were many games that were easy to win, and some games that were very difficult and dragged to the last minute, he had no chance to counterattack.

    Finally, now is the chance!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s counterattack dunk this time ignited the Lakers¡¯ declining morale and fighting spirit again and brought it to its peak!

    In the third quarter, the Heat actually played very well. While limiting the Lakers to only 6 points in the half, they relied on Owens' singles to score 8 points in the first half, leading to an 8-6 run.  Reduce the score difference to 1 point.

    Logically speaking, they have established an advantage, but when the official timeout came back, they just overtook the score and saw Zhang Hao's incredible counterattack!

    In the next two rounds, the Heat shot surprisingly well, scoring a three-pointer and a long two-pointer.

    However, regardless of whether they scored or not, Zhang Hao immediately counterattacked. At this time, the Heat players were completely unable to catch up!

    They scored 5 points, and Zhang Hao personally scored 4 points!

    It was the Heat's offense again. After the official timeout, the Heat scored 3 goals in a row but missed the shot. The Lakers focused on Owens and Leske Chapman and crouched under the basket. Coles' open three-pointer missed.  Zhang Hao took off again and dunked with both hands after receiving a long pass from Magic. The Lakers tied the score at 50!

    The game is at a very subtle transition point. The Heat played very well in the third quarter tonight. They defended well and shot more accurately than expected. They successfully limited the Lakers' shooting to 8 goals.  Only one goal was scored in every minute, which can be said to be as good as it gets.

    However, Zhang Hao counterattacked three times in a row and scored 6 points. The Heat only missed one goal and were tied by the Lakers again!

    Regardless of the score, the Heat players should not have too much psychological fluctuations, but Zhang Hao's crazy counterattack made the Heat feel a little desperate They recalled that they met at the beginning of the season when they were still playing for the Nets.  What happened to Zhang Hao.

    The Nets are not as strong as the Heat, but the Nets relied on Zhang Hao's crazy counterattack to defeat the Heat in the third quarter!

    Just like the situation now!

    Originally, after half a season of running-in and adjustments, the Heat already had a good plan for the distribution of physical strength. It would be no problem to play defense for the entire game. If the defense was good, the Bulls would face them in regular time.  Neither can take advantage.

    The Heat didn¡¯t take the Lakers¡¯ defense seriously either. Who would have imagined that the Lakers actually started a hand-to-hand war of attrition with the Heat!

    By the middle of the third quarter, the Heat's physical strength had significantly declined, and the Lakers' physical strength had also declined significantly. The Heat had taken advantage of this to create a wave of scoring, but seeing that the Heat were about to take the initiative, they insisted.  If you go down, there is a high probability that the game will be dragged to the end directly.

    But, Zhang Hao is here again!

    That incredibly powerful counterattack is here again!

    And Zhang Hao only had one thought at this time - "Charge! Crush them!"

 Chapter 127 127. Unparalleled in the limelight!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    By the time 11 minutes and 39 seconds passed, the Lakers were already leading the Heat by 5 points, 56-51!

    After scoring 3 goals in a row, the Heat only scored 1 point in the remaining 4 minutes of the third quarter!

    After that hot period of time passed and the Heat's players with accurate outside shooting were targeted, other players failed to score after high confrontation!

    Although the Heat also prevented the Lakers' positional warfare from scoring a goal, the Lakers Zhang Hao seized the opportunity to counterattack and scored 6 points!

    In the last attack of the third quarter, the Heat wanted to press time, but the Lakers took the initiative to attack Owens, who was holding the ball. After Owens passed to Coles, the Lakers moved towards Coles.  Ernst pounced on him, deliberately leaving Rex Chapman and Kevin Willis free to force the Heat to make a decision faster!

    When the ball returned to Coles after four passes, there was already a big gap. Don't you want to shoot at this time?  Impossible. If you don't shoot at such an opportunity, the chance will be even worse at the last moment. Coles made an adjustment and shot a three-pointer It's iron!

    Jason Williams grabbed the rebound. Van Exel's side was interfered with by the Heat's aggressive defense, but Magic had a chance. It's good to be tall!

    Magic immediately returned to the basket to meet Jason Williams. After receiving the ball, he passed the ball long. When he returned to receive the ball, he was paying attention to his position on the court. After receiving the ball, he was  Before the full-court press closed in, the ball was passed smoothly.

    The fans at the scene started cheering when Jason Williams protected the rebound. Zhang Hao came to the opponent's free throw line to receive the ball and took three big steps.

    Three big steps are not uncommon, but Zhang Hao picked up the ball as soon as he received it. He took two steps out and took one step outside the reasonable collision area. Zhang Hao took off and without any tricks, he smashed the ball into the basket  ¡­

    It¡¯s simple and unpretentious, but the fans at the scene were so excited when they saw this dunk!

    Statue of Liberty dunk!

    Zhang Hao pays tribute to James Worthy¡¯s Statue of Liberty dunk!

    For a moment, the fans felt as if they were back in the showtime era!

    Van Exel + Magic's pass, plus Zhang Hao charging forward, this feels a bit like Magic + Scott + Worthy's showtime, but Magic has now become the one who assists in passing the ball.  , Van Exel's speed makes it easier for him to pass long passes directly than Magic.

    As for the quick counterattack, as long as he can prevent it, Zhang Hao is faster than James Worthy!

    When Zhang Hao took off for a dunk, the red light on the countdown to the third quarter was already on, with 1.2 seconds left!

    As the Heat sent the ball and missed a long three-pointer, with the help of Van Exel and Magic, two teammates who passed the ball accurately, Zhang Hao relied on counterattack. At the end of the third quarter,  Helping the Lakers enter the intersection with a 7-point lead of 58-51!

    From a half-quarter score of 6-10 at the beginning of the second half to a score of 20-16 in a single quarter, it was Zhang Hao¡¯s 14 points in the second half of the third quarter!

    It¡¯s all a counterattack!

    It collapsed!

    The Heat have collapsed!

    Although the point difference is only 7 points, the Heat, which mainly rotates with 8 players and can only rotate with 7 players in the third quarter, is already exhausted!

    In the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao continued to play, and the perimeter changed to Doug Christie, Anthony Pillar, and George Lynch. The center was replaced by Campbell. Four and one, the Lakers were locked in defense!

    At this time, Zhang Hao was too tired to fight back. He did not force a counterattack, but "padded". When he recovered, he would play one by one. If he could score, he would score. If he couldn't score, he would be knocked down because the Heat's offense had collapsed.  You can only rely on your mind to defend as much as you can. On the offensive end, it's all about the sky. The Heat's current offense is a bit like when they played triple overtime with the Bulls. Those three overtimes added up to 15 minutes, and the Heat only got 15 points in total.  10 points.

    For other things, as far as the willpower of the Heat alone is concerned, Zhang Hao admires the group of players of the Heat and the tenacity of the tenacious team created by Mo Ning, which is indeed respectable.

    In the first half of the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao made 2 of 6 shots and only scored 4 points. With Doug Christie's three-pointer and Campbell grabbing an offensive rebound and causing a foul, he made 1 of 2 free throws. The Lakers had 6 points and 43 points.  Only 8 points were scored in seconds, and the scoring efficiency was appallingly low.

    However, the Heat only scored 4 points in more than half a quarter!

    7 to 4!  When entering the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Lakers extended their lead to 11 points 66-55!

    The Heat called a timeout and replaced the main lineup with players outside the eight-man rotation.

    Del Harris, who had been waiting for the Heat to call a timeout, saw Pat Riley walking to the bench after calling a timeout without making arrangements, and immediately asked Kurt Rambis to notify the technical desk for a change.nbsp;Currently, in the East, Jordan and Grant Hill have both received more than 600,000 votes and are competing fiercely for the All-Star vote crown. Zhang Hao later made a move and joined the ranks!

    Sports competition is a winner-takes-all world. Zhang Hao's popularity has soared, which has brought more people to notice him. There may be fans who are unhappy with him at first instinct and hate him, but there will also be many people paying attention.  To the fans who fell in love with him after getting to know him, a rookie who has been extremely popular recently.

    When he rushed to the Western Conference forward and won the second vote, more people knew about his existence in newspapers or TV news!

    On the 6th, most sports media were discussing matters related to Zhang Hao. Sports Illustrated and Time Warner Cable Sports also analyzed Zhang Hao's performance during his 7-game winning streak in detail and analyzed it in a good direction. After all, it is a friendly network and  Taiwan's sports magazine.

    For a time, Zhang Hao was in the limelight!

    How popular is it?

    Over there in Chicago

    On the night of the 5th, while the Lakers struggled to defeat the Heat, there was a national live broadcast. The Bulls slaughtered the Cavaliers 122-91, winning by more than 30 points.

    However, at noon the next day, Jordan, who had slept in, was ready to see what the news would say about his outstanding performance as he turned 33.

    He liked this feeling of being sought after very much. This was something he missed very much when he was playing baseball. It was only after playing baseball for more than a year that he realized how fascinated he was by the cheers.

    However, while Jordan was enjoying being fed by two big Cuban girls, when he looked at the newspaper opened by another model, his big hands directly squeezed the two big Cuban girls and made them cry!

    "The iron-blooded gentleman Akers led the Lakers to reverse the Heat and win 7 consecutive victories!  ¡·

    This is the headline.

    "Jordan scores 35 points, Bulls win 10th straight"

    This is the sub-headline.

    Turn on the TV and t.n.t. The sports news has just begun. When the program turns to basketball-related topics, the host and guests discuss and analyze the recent performance of Zhang Hao and the Lakers.

    Other teams¡¯ game news last night was also reported, but in one sentence, it included the Bulls¡¯ 10-game winning streak.

    Jordan was so angry that he tortured the two big Cuban girls until they screamed

    He was about to explode!

    Since the last loss to the Lakers, Jordan has played very hard in the 10 games. Since that game, the Bulls have not lost yet, with 29 wins and 5 losses. The Bulls are only in the middle of the season and have already locked up.  Regular season champion tendencies.

    But during their first 10-game winning streak of the season, all the limelight was robbed!

    "My 10-game winning streak can't compare to my 7-game winning streak? I averaged 32 points per game during my 10-game winning streak, but I can't average 27 points per game during my 7-game winning streak? Wait!

    "Aix, you are so fucking awesome!"

    "Will you also become the All-Star vote winner like Hill?"

    "You must be an All-Star starter, right?"

    "Look outside, there are many fans cheering for you!"

    "Can you react? You are going to be an All-Star starter!"

    Pierce was originally in high spirits, but Zhang Hao's cold face made him lose interest.

    April Clark and Pierce's mother, who were sitting behind the two, looked at Pierce's talkative appearance and couldn't help laughing.

    Just when Pierce regained his composure and was about to find another topic, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

    "Oh, boy, are you the super talented forward that Aix calls you? You are so strong."

    Pierce turned around and saw that it was the magician who said hello!  The legendary superstar changed to the position across from him on his right!

    Pierce, who was usually chatty and confident, actually became shy at this moment and stammered: "Hello, I, III'm a gunNo, it's Paul Pierce, I'm your loyal fan  ¡­¡±

    "Haha, you don't need to be nervous. As my fan, you have to maintain your confidence! I watched your college games and you were very good. I heard from James that Akers is learning from you to turn around"

    James?  Worthy!

    Pierce thought about how he followed Zhang Hao to the Time Warner Arena early this morning and saw Zhang Hao practicing his defense after switching defenses under the guidance of James Worthy. It was so envy!

    Pierce is very popular now. After the holidays, he will go to every Lakers home game because someone gives him tickets

    He can clearly see Zhang Hao¡¯s defensive progress in recent times!  It¡¯s still not good, sometimes it¡¯s still a black hole, but the progress is visible to the naked eye!

    When he came back to his senses, Pierce realized that the magician had finished speaking, and quickly responded: "We are communicating with each other. James is teaching Akers, which is called teaching. I am not worthy"

    Magician smiled and shook his head: "Akers will not compliment someone on this kind of thing. I said before, you must have confidence! Only in this way can you have a chance to become a Lakers player."

    When fans hear praise from their idols and that they really have certain abilities, the feeling is indescribable.

    Superstars occasionally have the idea of ????communicating with their juniors on a whim. The magician had a whim today, and Pierce was moved

    Pierce swears!  One day, he will help the Lakers win the championship!  Become a team spirit player like a magician!

    ¡°Come, let me introduce you to the players on our team Guys, come and see the genius!¡±

    When Pierce heard this, he stood up suddenly and stood at attention. His face was dark and swollen, and he stood up straight. His solid lower body strength allowed him to stand steadily. It was not like he was standing on a moving car

    Lakers players also noticed this college student who has been sitting on the sidelines watching the game in recent games. They have impressions of April Clark, who is suspected of being Zhang Hao's girlfriend, and Zhang Hao's former landlady. After all, they often see him.

    He is a fan of his own team and is close friends with the new core. The Lakers players gave him face and got to know each other.

    The magician could see that Pierce was very reserved, so he did not stay nearby and sat in the back row.

    Thinking about it, Magic is still a little depressed. After he came back, he always sat next to Zhang Hao, and his teammates were used to it. Now, sitting in the back row, no one is next to him. It's not because he is afraid of his illness, but because he is used to it.  Already

    The magician was not nearby, but went to the back row to close his eyes and rest. Pierce was not so cautious. He believed that he would definitely not be worse than anyone other than the magician in the future, including Zhang Hao, who still had the idea of ??surpassing him again.  , took the initiative to find a topic to talk about, and soon started chatting with the Lakers players.

    The topic is simple - All-Star voting.

    Others in the Lakers were also talking about whether Zhang Hao could become another All-Star starter for the Lakers after three seasons, and the conversation immediately became exciting.

    It¡¯s not that players who don¡¯t have the chance to become All-Stars are not interested in the All-Star Game. As a basketball player, most NBA players love basketball, like to watch exciting games, and like to watch star duels. All-Star Weekend is definitely the most popular one.  Exhibition matches between popular and powerful players are of no real significance, but they are definitely very attractive matches.

    In addition to Zhang Hao, the Lakers also have another star who may be selected as an All-Star starter, and that is Magic Johnson.

    Since Magic came back earlier than originally planned, the time of his comeback will be determined by All-Star voting.When I called him at that time, Zhang Hao had a vague feeling that something bad had happened

    "Akers, I'm sorry, they didn't give me a ticket. They said that the sideline tickets have been reserved for us, but you have to pay for them yourself. They said that if I ask for tickets in the name of Magic, they are willing to give them  ¡­¡±

    The press officer¡¯s words were very tactful, and the meaning was very obvious. The Knicks did not take him seriously.

    Zhang Hao was silent for a moment, returned to his usual tone, and responded calmly: "Buy the ticket for me first, and I will go back to the hotel and give you the check."

    After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao returned to his seat.

    Britney, who felt Zhang Hao's emotional changes, asked softly: "Akers, what's wrong?"

    Looking at such a beautiful face, Zhang Hao immediately felt happy, shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing important By the way, your group has been disbanded. Are you going to be a solo singer yourself in the future, or will you form a new group?"

    Speaking of this, Britney was also a little worried and responded: "I don't know yet. My mother asked me to study hard first and learn the basic skills of singing, but I really want to make money quickly"

    "Why are you a little money addict again?"

    "Again?" The word "Again?" stimulated Britney's nerves, and her tone became higher.

    Zhang Hao seemed to ask sourly, and smiled: "Yes, my partner has a 6-year-old daughter. She is just like you, thinking about how to make money all day long"

    This Britney's face turned red again and she firmly denied it: "I am not a money addict! I have grown up and should work and earn money by myself!"

    This little sister is so interesting!

    ? Casually ignoring the unpleasantness of the phone call, Zhang Hao and Britney started chatting again

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s night, and Zhang Hao has entered the learning mode again. He must prepare well for the next game against the Knicks. It¡¯s important to increase his strength a little bit more.

    Thinking of my sweet and delicious little sister, thinking of the beautiful, cheerful and down-to-earth April Clark, thinking of Pierce and the landlady I can't be embarrassed in front of these people!

    "The Knicks don't care if they are a championship team or if they have super insiders, I will fight tomorrow!"

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao was humiliated by the New York Knicks management. As an athlete, face is very important. Mission: Crazy Birthday Night Trigger."

    "Crazy Birthday Night: The host needs to help special contract player Zhang Hao complete his revenge against the Knicks on his birthday night.

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to set a new personal scoring record when facing the Knicks.

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers defeat the Knicks.

    Reward: 1 Bronze level lottery draw.

    Optional advanced goal 3: Zhang Hao proactively declares war on the Knicks before the game.

    Advanced rewards: Complete Goal 1 and Goal 2 after actively declaring war, and receive an additional Silver Level draw.  "

    Zhang Hao really wanted to complete this task, but

    "This is too damn difficult! Damn it! Why did I get 45 points before? Why?"

    Just when Zhang Hao wanted to scold him for accidentally scoring 45 points, another reminder came.

    Seeing the latest prompt, Zhang Hao was shocked!

    ¡°I wish the host a happy 19th birthday. Congratulations to the host for receiving a birthday gift package. This gift package is unique and only the host¡¯s first birthday gift after receiving the system.

    Birthday gift package: top ability evaluation experience card, medal advancement card (gold), 90-day lifespan.

    This is the same gift package as when he signed someone Zhang after discovering the bug!

    Three gold rewards!

    "The gold medal advanced card, I have two silver medals, Homecoming and King of Jump Shooting, that I can use this Damn, both medals are very useful!"

    Returning home is the key to him being recognized so quickly by his teammates after his good performance.

    The king of turn-over jump shots is integrated into his style of play. When he uses turn-over jump shots, his strength against that shot increases by 3 points, his bounce increases by 3 points, and there is a 1/4 chance of ignoring the shooting impact of turning over.  , it feels the same as jumping up and taking action

    "No matter how strong my team's influence is, it's useless without personal ability. The current team's influence is enough. The greater influence should be that the team has other players with real strength and influence who are superstars.  It is only necessary when the situation arises. For example, next year, O'Neal will be tricked by the logo man with nothing as expectedupgrade to the king of turnaround jump shots!"

    Zhang Hao thought for a while and made a decision.

    "The host uses the medal advancement card (gold) to advance the medal: King of Jumpers."

    "King of Jump Shots (Gold): (Designated player to wear: Zhang Hao): When the player wearing this medal uses a jump shot, in that attack, the bounce will be +5, the strength will be +5, and the probability is 33%.  Ignore the shooting impact of a turn-up jump shot.¡±

    "Nice!"

    His back attack is becoming more and more unique, and the impact before turning over for a jump shot is particularly fierce, thanks to the bonus of this medal.

    Now, this bonus will become even stronger!

    Looking at the upgraded medal and the remaining life span of 685 days Zhang Hao felt so happy

    Look at that experience card!

    "Top Ability Evaluation Experience Card: Used by contracted players in a single game. After use, the player's ability evaluation will be temporarily and randomly raised to 90-94. Physical fitness, technology, and shooting will be improved accordingly according to the strength of his skills. The areas of expertise will be greatly improved.  , there is little improvement in areas that are not good at.¡±

    "Wellthis means that I will be promoted in proportion to my original ability evaluation?"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    There is no airtight wall in the world. Early the next morning, American cable TV broke the news that the Knicks refused to give Zhang Hao a game ticket on Zhang Hao¡¯s birthday.

    Moreover, speaking more than Zhang Hao himself knew, the American cable TV station broke the news that the Knicks said that Zhang Hao was not a star and was not qualified to ask them for game tickets. They were willing to reserve courtside tickets for Zhang Hao.  It's a great honor for the Lakers, unless Magic goes to ask for tickets in person.

    Zhang Hao saw the news when he woke up early in the morning. He felt completely calm and just wanted to do his best to defeat the Knicks.

    What confuses him is the attitude of the American cable TV station, which seems to be very biased towards him, a visiting team player!

    "You actually cited my 40+ points four times, breaking Chamberlain's debut record, and double-killing Jordan these performances were listed one by one. Is this a show against the Knicks?"

    Zhang Hao thought about it, and it seems that the American cable TV network is not very good at dealing with the Knicks. If the Knicks lose in the playoffs, the American cable TV network will definitely be the one who scolds the most harshly, but the boss of both companies is obviously named James -  Dolan.

    "Are you scolding yourself for creating popularity? The world of capitalists is really complicated"

    While having breakfast, Zhang Hao gave the four first-row tickets to the Knicks home game that he had spent last night for a total of US$60,000 to April Clark and Pierce.

    "This ticket is so expensive! Fifteen thousand! If we had known we wouldn't have come Why didn't you buy a cheaper ticket?" April Clark said with a heartache.

    Pierce¡¯s mother began to curse, and the 18th generation of Knicks owner James Dolan¡¯s ancestors have been cursed, just like dealing with those bad guys who don¡¯t have the foresight to harass the children in her apartment.

    Pierce was quite indignant: "Are the people in the Knicks blind? How dare you say that you are not a star. When I enter the NBA and see them, I will beat them every time 15,000 a piece, Akers, why do you let them earn this?"  money!"

    April Clark agreed with Pierce's statement: "Yes, why should you let them make this money? Although you have just signed an endorsement contract, it is too expensive."

    Zhang Hao is the calmest one: "There is a competition on my birthday. Of course you have to watch it live. Just think of it as a party and spend the money."

    Zhang Hao seemed not to care about this matter, but two friends who knew him well knew that he must be very concerned about it.

    Just like before, I worked so hard to get a college basketball scholarship, but it was possible to just skip it?, Zhang Hao was not moved at all when he thought about what would happen to Ewing, who was in rapid decline after a serious injury in 1999.

    The magician looked at Zhang Hao's expressionless face, went up and touched Zhang Hao with his arm and said, "Hey, big star, look, there are people on the visiting team supporting you."

    ????????? This is to make Mr. Zhang happy?  Zhang Hao adjusted the collar of his jersey, looked like a big star, and said, "Mr. Magician, do you want an autograph?"

    With this reaction, it was obvious that his anger did not make him lose his cool. The magician's goal was achieved This rookie could not tell whether he was angry or not by looking at his expression. Just like the day before yesterday, when he was playing against the Heat, he was rushing with his life, and he was almost exhausted after the game.  He lay down, but he still had that indifferent face. If it weren't for the shocking marks on his neck, no one would have known that he had encountered such a criminal.

    But thinking about Kurt Thomas, who suffered a fractured waist in his rookie season, and although it was not a structural injury, it was basically written off for the season, Magic felt a little sympathetic.

    This is probably the most tragic criminal player in NBA history, right?

    Without thinking about the new generation of thugs who make people angry just thinking about it, Magic said in a joking tone: "Of course, where to sign? On the jersey? Oh, I will never wash this jersey in the future!"

    On Zhang Hao¡¯s side, there were people paying attention all the time. Seeing him calmly chatting with the magician, the fans at the scene booed again

    When you humiliate others for no reason, you will feel ashamed. To cover up this feeling of shame, you have to become more hateful and continue to do evil things to the extreme.

    The Knicks players and coaching staff are also paying attention to Zhang Hao and Magic. If there are any Lakers players that the Knicks are interested in, it must be Zhang Hao, who became famous in his rookie season, and Magic, who was once the number one player in the league.

    Knicks coach Don Nelson is a very special coach in NBA history.

    Calm, very calm. His expression didn't tell that this game was any different to him. It looked like nothing happened. Old Nelson was quite surprised - this kid who just turned 19 has a very good psychological quality.  Got it!

    "That retarded Dolan just made our game more difficult just to make money"

    Currently, the Knicks have played 34 games, with 22 wins and 12 losses, temporarily ranking third in the Eastern Conference, which is much worse than the same period last season. Nelson is already under great pressure, and the boss is adding to the chaos

    Ewing is full of jealousy towards Zhang Hao, a rookie!

    Since O'Neal's first season in the NBA, he has never had the opportunity to become an All-Star starter. Zhang Hao's first All-Star voting results in his rookie season only had so many votes, ranking him second to O'Neal with only 110,000 votes.  Ewing, who is the third center in the Eastern Conference after Mourning, is very unhappy!  He put all his dissatisfaction with being robbed of the All-Star starting spot by O'Neal on Zhang Hao.

    Ewing was very happy to see Zhang Hao being humiliated, but looking at Zhang Hao's expression that didn't seem to care at all Ewing felt a feeling called shame, but this feeling did not make him feel ashamed, but made him even more unhappy.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao felt the unfriendliness of the opposing players.

    Zhang Hao had long been mentally prepared. Knicks players were never kind-hearted characters, but he didn't care at all.

    As soon as I thought about it, the subtitle prompt came!

    "The host uses the top ability evaluation experience card, using the player: Zhang Hao"

    "It has been determined that Zhang Hao's outstanding strengths include running and jumping ability, static confrontation, mid-range shooting, post-up singles, turn-over jump shots, and block prediction; his secondary abilities include three-point shooting, basket offense, ball control, and passing  The temporary ability evaluation will be randomly selected according to the random ability evaluation (90-94)"

    "My skillsare too few! Taken together, mid-range shots and shot blocking are my strengths"

    Just when Zhang Hao looked at his monotonous skills and his mouth twitched, the subtitle content changed and turned into a constantly changing value, jumping repeatedly from 90-94

    Birthday night, good luck, in the end, Zhang Hao¡¯s ability evaluation was 94!

    ¡°The ability evaluation bonus has been completed, and the physical fitness of the special contract player Zhang Hao has been temporarily strengthened. He will temporarily gain the muscle memory brought by the temporary improvement of technical movements, and his adaptability on the court will be temporarily strengthened"

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 19 years old, January 7, 1977.

    Weight: 98 kg.

    Position: Forward

    Team: Los Angeles Lakers.

    After the ability evaluation was temporarily upgraded to 94, Zhang Hao's eyes widened when he saw the ability evaluation!

    "It's really like this. I have greatly enhanced what I know! I have raised my ability rating to 94the ultimate form of off-the-ball play?

    If I were a well-rounded player, the bonus might look better, and most of it would be raised to about 90, right?  But it is estimated that mid-range shooting and catch-and-shoot shooting will not have such extreme enhancements, and they have reached the limit of conventional technical evaluation.

    It will be more difficult for all-round players to experience their own top or higher ability evaluationbut if they are only top-level stars, they may not have that kind of super-top skills in one category.

    ??????????????????????????

    Each has it's own benefits.  "

    Zhang Hao thought that his solo counterattack at critical moments could more easily influence the outcome of the game than his ordinary top-level mid-range shot.

    At 6:58 in the evening, the game was about to start, and Zhang Hao came to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder.

    Listening to the boos from the fans and looking at the slogans supporting him behind the technical stage

    At this time, Zhang Hao heard someone next to him pressing down hard on the technical table or rather, photographing him on the technical table. He came back to his senses and looked at the gorilla next to him

    It really looks like a gorilla!  Seeing it with your own eyes, it looks more like a gorilla than on TV or posters!

    After Ewing finished applying magnesium powder, he deliberately showed off the muscles on his arms. The fans who had been looking at them cheered loudly for Ewing who showed off his muscles.

    Zhang Hao glanced at Ewing, turned around, and grabbed another handful of magnesium powder.

    Ewing saw the look in Zhang Hao's eyes so angry!

    That guy¡¯s eyes looked like he was looking at a fool!

    Just when Ewing was about to use words to stimulate the rookie in front of him, he saw the rookie turn around, throw the ball into the air, and walk to the center circle without looking back

    The fans near the technical stage exclaimed because they paid special attention to Zhang Hao. Although they were guided by the American cable TV station and influenced by the Knicks, they may not have had any good or bad feelings towards Zhang Hao in the first place.  .

    However, just now, Zhang Hao grabbed magnesium powder and threw it into the air without any change in his expression, turned around and walked onto the courtit made the New York fans who were not firm in their stance feel what it means to be handsome.

    For a moment, Ewing felt that this picture was a bit cool.

    This feeling makes Ewing even more angry. He hates handsome guys!

    When Zhang Hao was in the Nets, the Knicks played a game with the Nets. That time Ewing broke out and played very well, but he couldn't stand Zhang Hao, who was playing center for the Nets at the time.

    Now, with the obsession of starting the All-Star Game + the disgust for handsome guys, Ewing hates Zhang Hao even more!

    On the other side, Zhang Hao's mind was not at all on what Ewing thought of him, but focused on analyzing Ewing's strength.

    "Patrick Ewing, 33 years old, height 213 cm, weight 116 kg, ability evaluation 96, offense 98, defense 90, 51 three-pointers, 98 mid-range shots, 96 layups averaged 22 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 blocks per game.  ¡­¡±

    "Anthony Mason Jr., 29 years old, height 201 cm, weight 113 kg, ability evaluation 86, offense 82, defense 93, passing 85 averaged 15 points, 9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game"

    "Charles Oakley, 32 years old, height 203 cm, weight 102 kg, ability rating 75 averaged 11.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game"

    This inside combination is so defensive!

    "Averaging 97.3 points per game and conceding 93.1 points per game. Is this Nelson's team? Yes, Nelson later coached the Mavericks and helped young general Johnson build a strong defense.??The talent is unparalleled, but in the minds of the players, Ewing, who led the team to the finals in 1994, is currently the second center behind Olajuwon!

    Facing Ewing, Zhang Hao was even more arrogant than when he faced Mourning and David Robinson!  If it were another rookie, even if he performed the same as Zhang Hao, the Lakers players would not understand it, but if their own rookie does this, that is awesome!

    Del Harris, who wanted to scold Zhang Hao, did it.

    Everyone can see that this is deliberately provoking Ewing.

    This is revenge on the Knicks!  If we win tonight, Zhang Hao's celebration after imitating the African mountain's shot will definitely become a classic scene. If we lose in the end

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In the end, whether he will succeed in pretending or become Shabi it¡¯s all a matter of fighting!

    Because of Zhang Hao's operation, the desire of his teammates to win has reached the extreme!

    On the other side, the Knicks players were angry after being shocked!

    Ewing looked at Zhang Hao¡¯s cold and handsome face and took a deep breath. His nose swelled and rounded, and he gritted his teeth and walked to the free throw line The technical foul was a solid free throw!

    The Knicks continued to attack, with 8 seconds left, the ball was sent to John Starks. John Starks immediately launched an attack. Taking advantage of Van Exel's unpreparedness, he easily broke into the inside and entered the three-second zone.  A close throw from the right

    When the ball was about to reach its highest point, a hand stretched out and slapped the ball with a palm. The ball bounced off the backboard and Campbell grabbed the ball!

    It¡¯s Zhang Hao again!

    As soon as the Knicks served the ball, Zhang Hao analyzed the position of the Knicks players and John Starks's advance route and figured out that John Starks had a high probability of not passing the ball, so he took it in decisively.  Seize the opportunity to step on the spot and jump to complete the shot!

    Unfortunately, the Knicks did a good job of preventing counterattacks. Although I was surprised by Zhang Hao's performance with two blocks in the opening game, the defensive discipline left by Pat Riley is still there. Nelson has not given up on this. Instead, he has improved this season.  The defense is even better than last season, but it's a pity that not many people noticed it.

    Campbell couldn't find Van Exel and Magic immediately after getting the rebound. The Knicks' full-court press and defense were very good this time, and they wanted to get an 8-second violation from the Lakers!

    Zhang Hao decisively asked for the ball, received the ball and advanced quickly!

    Although his ball control is not top-notch, but he has temporarily improved to a good level, he feels that his ball control has reached the sky Go to the street to play, he is definitely a very powerful ball control master, Charles Oakley posted  Up until now, Zhang Hao had steadily advanced past half-court before violating the 8-second violation.

    After halftime, Zhang Hao became more cautious. Charles Oakley's defense seemed to be fighting, and he kept resisting. Zhang Hao quickly came to the three-point line, immediately turned around, leaned against Charles Oakley, and stuck out his butt.  Arch inward.

    In the eyes of NBA players, Zhang Hao's dribbling, even if it is temporarily improved to 73, is still in a hurry and will never be regarded as a point of control. Just now he took the initiative to catch the ball and advance, in the eyes of his teammates, he was just forced to do business, and now this action  Is this a post-up shot from outside the three-point line?

 Chapter 131 131. You should choose to give up (5000 words please subscribe)

    Charles Oakley is not a rookie like Kurt Thomas. Kurt Thomas is still in the growing stage and just shows those characteristics. Charles Oakley is a real villain that Pat Riley has cultivated for many years.

    When everyone saw that Zhang Hao was trying to fight while sitting down with his tyrannical strength that was not in line with his size, Charles Oakley pushed forward hard, preparing to use his little moves If it didn't work, he just knocked Zhang Hao down.

    "I will never let Zhang Hao continue to trample the dignity of the Knicks with his body!"

    But just when Charles Oakley was approaching and about to press his thumb into Zhang Hao¡¯s waist with his clenched fist, Zhang Hao made an ordinary, not very beautiful turn and bypassed Charles Oakley!

    Why is it ordinary?

    Because Oakley could block Zhang Hao's chance to turn around with one step across, and he made the right decision.

    However, because he was too close to him, Zhang Hao raised his arms when he turned left, and the iron elbow of his left arm broke out into a confrontation and easily withstood Oakley's movement!

    Zhang Hao went straight to the basket along the left sideline of the three-second zone and shot from close range

    With this move, Zhang Hao felt extremely good!  He has never felt such a great layup, so smooth!

    In the battle for rebounds between the two people under the basket, Zhang Hao's floater hit the target!

    This attack, the teammates all felt incredible.

    But these are the abilities that Zhang Hao has shown in ordinary times, but they are not that good.

    Teammates believe that Zhang Hao may have maximized his skills in anger.

    There is one thing that teammates find scary - the angrier Zhang Hao becomes, the calmer he becomes!

    Being able to act at one point is a characteristic of Charles Oakley, and Zhang Hao made good use of this this time.

    When the Knicks attacked, Zhang Hao scored 4 points in a row at the beginning, and with that shot blocked and wagging his finger, Ewing was furious.

    However, Ewing is Ewing. To be able to still have the strength of a superstar at the age of 33 means that his golf quotient is naturally very high.

    He decisively chose to go to the basket, temporarily giving up the team offense with him as the starting point, and looking for inside singles opportunities.

    Although Ewing is famous for his shooting, his low post performance is not bad at all. Compared with Olajuwon, who is more like a small forward, Ewing has always been regarded as a technical template for center players.

    Ewing went to the low post, and Zhang Hao switched to Charles Oakley. When Charles Oakley set a pick-and-roll for John Starks, Zhang Hao did a good job of switching defense without the ball and did not give the opponent a chance to distribute the ball in the low post.

    But that¡¯s what Ewing wanted, go all out, show off his beautiful low-post moves, avoid Campbell¡¯s block, hit the board and hit a throw!

    It¡¯s really awesome!

    Zhang Hao imagines that if he faced Campbell in the low post, it would be difficult to complete such an attack.

    With comprehensive skills, there are more choices to be made. In this regard, Zhang Hao thinks he is not as good as Ewing.

    The most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness, and Zhang Hao has a good score. After reaching the frontcourt, he continues to run and look for opportunities. He knows that the Knicks are not that easy to deal with. Although his physical strength has temporarily increased to the extreme tonight, the improvement in judgment ability on the defensive end makes  He will work harder to defend, and his physical strength must be distributed well.

    The Magic chose to rely on Anthony Mason Jr. to break through the middle. Seeing the position of the opponent's frontcourt trio, Zhang Hao, who was going around the baseline, quickly analyzed what kind of decision he had made and what kind of situation the opponent was most likely to have.  Defensively moving, making decisive choices, and getting out from under the rim.

    Charles Oakley, Ewing, and Anthony Mason Jr. have excellent defensive cooperation. Ewing sticks to the basket and defends against Magic and directly breaks into the paint to prevent Campbell from eating the pie. Charles Oakley goes directly to the line after encountering Campbell's pick-and-roll.  Mention, the defense was switched in front of Magic. When Zhang Hao slipped out from the left side of the three-second zone around the baseline, Anthony Mason Jr. quickly pressed up to prevent Zhang Hao from catching the ball and making a mid-range shot.

    Perfect three-man inside defense!

    Zhang Hao did not stop at the middle distance where he is best, and continued running, reaching the left side of the top arc!

    The magician¡¯s pass was delivered in time!

    Anthony Mason Jr. did not follow out and stayed in a position where he could prevent Zhang Hao from taking a step into the three-point line and shooting a long two-pointer.

    Zhang Hao has made a total of 28 three-pointers so far in his rookie season, taking 90 shots, with a shooting percentage of less than 33%. Although there are key three-pointers, his three-point ability is really average.

    Zhang Hao received the ball, adjusted it, and shot a shot-put three-point shot

    Anthony Mason Jr. immediately took back the basket. In terms of rebounding ability, he has been playing small forward for a long time but can average 9+ rebounds per game. He is the best rebounder in the Knicks team.

    But his contractions were in vain!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?, although he has an advantage, if he doesn't lower his shoulders and raise his elbows, he really can't show his advantage!

    Ewing, who has always been known for his strength and claims to be able to carry O'Neal alone, turned red in the face. The fans' screams of surprise made him feel very ashamed. He is much stronger than Zhang Hao!

    The angry Ewing pushed forward, but failed to squeeze out the space to turn around. He relaxed his arms and took action forcefully

    "Snapped"

    Zhang Hao slapped the ball, and there was no need to predict this straight throw!

    The ball was slapped into the crowd. During the scramble, the ball was touched out of bounds by a Knicks player. The ball was thrown from the Lakers' backcourt!

    Shocking!

    exaggerate!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s single defense gave Ewing a big hit!

    Although there was no counterattack, the dead ball gave the Lakers players the opportunity to come up and celebrate around Zhang Hao!

    Ewing, who was hit hard from the front, was very confused. How could this happen?  Why is this rookie so good?

    Blocked shots 3 times!

    After playing for 8 minutes, Zhang Hao got 3 blocks and 1 steal!

    Although there are reasons why the opponent despises his defense, for example, Ewing's current shock is mostly due to the fact that he initially looked down upon Zhang Hao's defense. The gap was too big.

    But being able to block the opponent's attack is Zhang Hao's ability!

    After Zhang Hao blocked the shot this time, the Lakers team became more and more excited!

    In the next few minutes, Zhang Hao's scoring speed dropped significantly, and even reached a point of stagnation. However, this was the result of the Knicks chasing him like crazy and intercepting him alone. Playing and catching the ball from behind was a double attack.  When Zhang Hao distributes the ball, his teammates will have the opportunity to shoot directly or from the second pass.

    The position where he plays with his back has good vision, and it is difficult for the opponent to move back once he is flanked. As long as he is accurate enough in the game that night and has enough physical strength to threaten the opponent with his back shot, the Lakers' offense can be extremely smooth.  !

    However, this is not a surprise. This is the result that Del Harris thought of, because Zhang Hao is a very big threat tonight, and there is a 90% chance that he can make such an attack.

    The key is the defensive end!

    Since Zhang Hao¡¯s big block on Ewing¡¯s one-on-one defense, Zhang Hao has been squatting in the paint and unable to come out. The four teammates tried their best to guard against mid-range and long-range shots, giving the opponent opportunities to cut in. The Knicks also found many cutting opportunities.

    But when Zhang Hao gave a big block to Anthony Mason Jr. who cut in and wanted to dunk, combined with the previous block on Ewing, the Knicks became very hesitant to attack the basket later.

    And hesitation means that it is easy to miss the best opportunity and give the other party the opportunity to interfere in place!

    Although Zhang Hao did not get any more blocks in the last two minutes or so, he allowed the opponent to only make 1 of 4 shots from close range and at the basket!

    Although Zhang Hao doesn't have many scoring opportunities, he will definitely seize them when he gets the chance!

    The Lakers' offense was quite stable. As the Lakers missed two points on their last attack, Zhang Hao cut inside and found the right opportunity to tip in and score two points. At the end of the first quarter, relying on the offense driven by Zhang Hao,  With Zhang Hao making 8 of 10 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, and scoring 22 points, 4 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 1 steal in a single quarter, the Lakers scored 42 points in the first quarter!

    The Knicks, on the other hand, only scored 6 points in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter due to Zhang Hao¡¯s terrifying inside defensive dominance. Adding in the 15 points in the first 8 minutes, they only scored 21 points in a single quarter!

    At the end of the first quarter, Ewing, who had played the whole quarter, looked at the big screen He scored 21 points in a single quarter. This is not terrible. What is terrible is that the rookie on the opposite side scored 22 points. Their entire team scored, and there was no rookie on the other side.  high!

    This was defeated in the first quarter!

    Ewing almost collapsed in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter. He was ashamed, unwilling, angrydesperate!  He felt that the rookie opposite him was stronger than him!

    This is because the Knicks relatively despised Zhang Hao and allowed Zhang Hao to show off his characteristics. If his characteristics were shown, a near-pure off-ball scoring + defensive insider with a 94 ability rating would be invincible!  The bonus of the experience card is because of his single skill. In order to increase his ability evaluation to 94, extremely extreme bonuses were made on his strengths!

    Just when Ewing had the idea of ??giving up altogether, a cold voice came from the side.

    "Yes, it's time for you to give up. The admiral can still cause me some trouble. You are still a little behind, but you don't have to worry about this situation. You are the weakest among the four centers"

    Ewing turned around and saw that it was the rookie!

    That careless tone, those vicious words, that cold face that makes people go crazy and want to punch him Ewing's fighting spirit that was just fucked suddenly started to burn!

    "Who said I'm not as good as an admiral?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)"Who said I'm not as good as an admiral?"

 Chapter 132 132. Fighter Ewing!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    ¡°Everyone has points that others cannot mention, and Ewing has two topics that he least likes to hear.

    ¡°One is O¡¯Neal and the other is David Robinson.

    There is no way O'Neal can do it. Ewing admitted that O'Neal may be the most talented center in the history of the NBA.

    But David Robinson was different. Ewing lost to David Robinson many times in the best team competition. Usually David Robinson was on the second team and he was on the third team. When O'Neal entered the NBA and was selected to the second team in his second year  After the game, he failed to be selected to the best team in the past two years.

    Averaging 24.5 points, 11 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.7 blocks per game, the superstar who led the team to a record of 56 wins and reached the finals was not selected for the All-NBA Team

    The same thing happened to Mourning this year. Mourning has averaged 24 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.7 blocks per game so far this year, but he is not regarded as a member of the best lineup.

    The new generation of O'Neal is still on the rise, and Ewing has reached the end of his peak. He is already 33 years old. There is nothing he can do about it.

    But for David Robinson, who entered the NBA at the same time and was the No. 1 pick two years apart, with only a 3-year age difference, Ewing refused to admit defeat!

    One thing is very important, that is Zhang Hao is a rookie.

    Although in theory one person cannot represent a group, people always assume that the best person in the group can represent the group.

    In Ewing¡¯s view, Zhang Hao represents this year¡¯s rookie.

    This year¡¯s rookie thinks David Robinson is better than Ewing!

    This is intolerable!

    Originally, after the Avalanche beat 21 to 42 in the first quarter and their 21 points were not scored by any opponent, Ewing felt that he might be really old, just like he thought that Pat Riley thought he was old and went to the game.  Just like choosing the younger Mourning, he knew that the system that Nelson was studying was very powerful, but he no longer had the time to wait for the system to be perfected.

    Tonight, the Knicks humiliated a rookie like Zhang Hao, and ended up being beaten by a rookie like Zhang Hao.

    And Zhang Hao scored higher than their entire team

    Under such circumstances, Ewing has indeed lost his fighting spirit tonight.

    However, Zhang Hao mentioned David Robinson!

    No one can lose to David Robinson!

    There was a strong unwillingness on Ewing's bitter face. When he returned to the bench, his teammates who were already extremely frustrated saw Ewing's very unwilling look

    This is one of the most famous fighters in the NBA!  When he was in college, he flew into the sky and escaped, but his legs were seriously injured one after another. In the end, he became a good-looking mid-range shooter by relying on his skills. However, he still tenaciously became one of the best centers in the NBA, and in the 1990s, he became one of the best centers in the NBA.  Overwhelming the other two super centers at the time, Olajuwon and Ewing, he was selected to the first team.

    Ewing hasn¡¯t given up yet!  He still wants to win!

    Ewing doesn¡¯t need to say anything. His teammates have already understood Ewing¡¯s thoughts. Teammates who have fought together for many years also burst out with strong unwillingness at this moment!

    What is a leader?  What is team spirit?

    Old Nelson felt from Ewing that one look or expression can inspire the fighting spirit of his teammates!

    On the other side, Del Harris was already sitting like a boss, but suddenly he found that the players on the opposite side became active.

    He thought of Zhang Hao standing next to Ewing who had lost his virginity for a while "What does this rookie want to do?"

    "Could it be that he wants to whip the corpse and take the initiative to provoke the other party? What a damn kid!"

    ¡° Del Harris really wanted to tie Zhang Hao up, beat him severely with a whip, and then put some wax on the scar and continue beating him

    ¡°Ahem, he found that he seemed to have gone astray and accidentally mistook what his wife loved to do to him at home as a criminal law. I¡¯m so sorry for my wife

    Quickly withdrawing his thoughts, he found that the player he couldn't understand was even more petty than he expected, but he also couldn't understand the Knicks. Since his rookies had already angered the other team, it was just right.  There is a reason to continue to replace the main force and kill him!

    ¡­¡­

    The fans at the scene had no expectations for this game and were very disappointed with Ewing.

    The ruthlessness of New York fans is vividly reflected.

    The Lakers scored 42 points in the first quarter, twice as much as the Knicks. Zhang Hao's 22 points alone were more than the entire team. How to play this game?

    Fans at the scene can only call their own team trash!

    However, something unexpected happened.

    The Knicks sent out a full starting lineup of Derrick Harper, John Starks, Anthony Mason Jr., Charles Oakley, and Ewing.

    Knickssp; If the opponent just lies down like that, and he goes up to play garbage time to reach 45+, he will be rewarded, but it will not be fun!

    From this moment on, the competition becomes even more intense!

    The Knicks, on the other hand, showed off their mid-range shots in the past half quarter. Seeing that the opponent even substituted Campbell, they became more determined to hit mid-range shots. Unless it was a layup, Ewing would only take advantage of the opportunity when there was no chance from the outside.  Zhang Hao did not take the initiative to single out Campbell.

    In terms of the Lakers' offense, the Magic used Zhang Hao's threat to connect the whole team. The Knicks were extremely strict on Zhang Hao's defense. They could not accept Zhang Hao scoring like he did in the first quarter again.

    If the Knicks really completely limit Zhang Hao's scoring, they really have a chance to quickly narrow the point difference. After all, Zhang Hao is the Lakers' scoring leader.

    But, obviously this is impossible!  There is no need to protect the rim at the basket, and the Knicks shot away from the mid-range. Zhang Hao's strong intuition and analytical skills now allow him to decisively reduce investment when defending the perimeter, defend when he can, and spend more energy.  Put it on possible counterattack opportunities.

    Although the Knicks defended well, Zhang Hao still scored 4 points in the second half of the second quarter by counterattacking, and he shot a three-pointer that turned over after catching the ball and scored a total of 7 points.

    After halftime, the Lakers led the Knicks by 17 points, 72-55, entering the intermission!

    Looking at Zhang Hao's half-time performance of 35 points, 6 rebounds, 7 blocks, 2 assists and 2 steals, he only led by 17 points Originally, the Lakers players only started to focus on the game because of Zhang Hao's "request", but now, they also discovered that Nick  The Si team is difficult to deal with!

    If it weren¡¯t for Zhang Hao¡¯s shot-put three-pointer when his teammates had no chance to pull him out to face Anthony Mason Jr.¡¯s defense, their lead would have continued to be eroded!

    All members of the Lakers team have changed from the arrogant enthusiasm of wanting to kill their opponents to the enthusiasm of truly attaching importance to the opponent's strength and knowing that if they don't fight, they may be overturned!

    On the Knicks side, Charles Oakley, who didn't play in the second half of the second quarter, was still actively encouraging his teammates when he walked back to the tunnel. He is the leader of the Knicks' locker room, and he was active even if he didn't have the chance to play.  He is doing what he should do. In the eyes of his opponents, he is a villain and should be expelled from the NBA. But in the Knicks, even Ewing is willing to call him a real big brother.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao looked at Ewing, who had just entered the halftime break and tied an ice pack to his leg, immediately began to prepare for the second half, and walked to the tunnel late

    Although Zhang Hao didn¡¯t like Ewing, who looked bitter and resentful, he felt that this senior was really a man!

    35 points at halftime breaking the personal scoring record of 45 points. Zhang Hao feels there is no problem at all.

    He can clearly feel that as long as he has a qualified passer, he has the temporary strength to compete with anyone. With Magic, the leader in assists per game in history, he almost put all his  The ability is perfectly displayed.

    But now, what he longs for more is that the Knicks can continue to burst out with such energy, so that he can happily use this temporary strength to have a good fight!

 Chapter 133 133. The craziest revenge!  (5000 words please subscribe!)

    After the second half of the game started, the two teams didn't seem to be playing a game with a score difference of nearly 20 points. They seemed to be playing a game with a score difference of only two points. They went all out!

    Ewing and John Starks led the Knicks to fight tenaciously. For the Lakers, Magic and Van Exel took turns taking charge and connecting the teams.

    Zhang Hao is doing what he should do, opening up space, containing the defense, and looking for his own scoring opportunities.

    When playing power forward or small forward, actively switch defenses. When playing center, focus on defense and wait for opportunities to counterattack.

    The score was tense for a while. At 3 minutes and 58 seconds of the third quarter, the Knicks relied on a field goal + a three-pointer after a steal to score a 5-0 run!

    68 to 79, the Knicks went on a 13-7 run at the beginning of the third quarter!

    In almost 4 minutes, the Lakers only scored one goal less than their opponent, and the point difference was reduced to only 11 points.

    Retreat!

    Ewing and Charles Oakley actively led their teammates to retreat and set up a defensive formation.

    The outside defensive combination of John Starks, Hubert Davis, and Jr. Reid, coupled with the defensive combination of Ewing and Charles Oakley, is indeed much better than the Lakers on the defensive end.

    After the Lakers arrived in the frontcourt, they had no regular offensive opportunities!

    Zhang Hao circled the top arc and was chased around the top arc. The Magician who had just circled the top arc made an off-ball pick-and-roll. Van Exel, who was holding the ball on the left, and Zhang Hao's passing and receiving line were blocked again. Zhang Hao rushed from the top arc.  After entering the three-point line, he took two steps to the free throw line before receiving the ball.

    At this time, Ewing was ready to step up and block Zhang Hao from rushing into the middle. As for Zhang Hao's pull-up jump shot, the Knicks did not care about it. They were determined tonight. Zhang Hao's pull-up jump shot will not work, so it is better to have a confrontation.  The jump shot comes accurately.

    Zhang Hao really didn¡¯t plan to make an emergency stop here for a jump shot, nor did he choose to stop his feet and adjust his shot so that Charles Oakley could catch up and defend in place.

    But Zhang Hao didn¡¯t rush into the paint. Instead, he followed the momentum of rushing in from the three-point line and took off with the soles of his feet directly on the free throw line!  Fly to the inside!

    Zhang Hao has wanted to do this for a long time!

    Ewing saw Zhang Hao taking off from the free throw line and was extremely angry. He jumped towards Zhang Hao and pressed on him!

    Zhang Hao slashed the ball towards the basket without fear

    "Bang"

    When Zhang Hao and Ewing fought hard, they even heard the sound of muscles clashing. Ewing was no longer blocking the shot and dunking, but wanted to knock Zhang Hao down, but

    There¡¯s no way to stop it!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s indifferent expression turned ferocious at this moment, and he pressed the ball with all his strength

    "ßÑ"

    With the surrounding players dumbfounded and the fans shouting in exclamation, Zhang Hao and Ewing confronted each other and seemed to pause in the air. Zhang Hao, who was lighter, obviously couldn't control his body. However, he was killed after they collided with each other.  The moment he was knocked over, Zhang Hao was across from Ewinglike a koala with all his limbs stretched out behind Ewing, and smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

    Watching Zhang Hao take several steps back before standing still after landing, watching Ewing sitting on the ground without even standing still after landing, with disbelief written all over his bitter and resentful face The Knicks  The players felt like they had seen a ghost!

    This Hao actually got it!

    He jumped from the free throw line and smashed the ball into the basket through Ewing!

    It¡¯s too outrageous!

    The Lakers players also felt that Zhang Hao¡¯s shot was too horizontal, but unlike the Knicks who were frightened, their teammates were surprised!  When they saw Ewing baring his teeth and claws as he pressed towards Zhang Hao with a ferocious face, they didn't dare to look.

    But luckily it looks good!  This picture is so shocking!

    The referee's whistle came belatedly, Ewing blocked the foul, and Zhang Hao's goal was valid and an additional penalty was required!

    Hearing the referee's whistle, other people on the field and the fans at the scene reacted.

    The teammates ran up to Zhang Hao excitedly, helped Zhang Hao up, and celebrated excitedly.

    I won¡¯t celebrate with Zhang Hao, so as not to affect my mood.

    But this time, Zhang Hao wanted to celebrate - I even stretched out my hands. Hey

    At this moment, the fans at the scene couldn't help it anymore, and many fans began to cheer for Zhang Hao, the visiting team player!

    The Knicks players on the court silently pulled Ewing up With just one shot, Zhang Hao destroyed most of the Knicks' already overwhelming and rising fighting spirit.  !

    As Zhang Hao made an extra free throw, 82 to 68, the Lakers' lead was heavy.What, he was carried directly into the Lakers tunnel by security guards.

    Zhang Hao was carried away with a blank look on his face. Everyone on the scene was stunned for a while. When Zhang Hao disappeared at the entrance of the player tunnel, the fans at the scene reacted and burst into laughter!

    The Lakers didn¡¯t expect this scene, but afterward, even the Lakers players couldn¡¯t help but laugh.

    Seeing the relaxed atmosphere on the scene, the referee was very satisfied. With this point difference, the Knicks were stunned in the third quarter and there was no vicious move on the part of the Knicks. God knows what the defeated Knicks will do in the fourth quarter.  .

    Just now, the referee went to the technical desk while Zhang Hao was being interviewed to ask. The Lakers had already submitted a substitution list. The Lakers player who was substituted at the beginning of the final quarter did not have Zhang Hao's name.

    By sending Zhang Hao away, it will not affect the game, but also avoid a vicious incident with a high probability Kill two birds with one stone!

    Zhang Hao was carried out, which did not affect the Lakers' rotation. In the last quarter, the Lakers replaced all the players at the end of the bench. Del Harris was also afraid of the "iron-blooded" Knicks.

    In the final quarter, the two teams were noobs at each other, and all the players on the field were playing blindly.

    In the end, relying on Zhang Hao¡¯s terrifying performance of 60 points, 11 rebounds, 11 blocks, 3 assists and 2 steals in three quarters, the Lakers slaughtered the Knicks 123-90 and won 8 consecutive victories!

 Chapter 134 134. Party-time (5000 words added, please subscribe)

    Zhang Hao watched the calm final quarter of the game through live TV in the locker room.

    Normally, in such a game with a large score difference, the garbage time is too long, and conflicts are likely to occur.

    Because the side with the advantage will definitely switch to a water-cooler lineup. With a score difference of more than 30 points, there is no need to send in the main force. Saving energy is one aspect. It is even more important to ensure that the players are safe and not injured by the opponent's big-move fouls.

    ??And when players in the water cooler lineup come on the court, regardless of the score difference, they will definitely shoot hard, which may also cause conflicts.

    But because the referee made a very clever call choice at the time, he ejected Zhang. In the last quarter of the game, the Knicks players did not commit any major fouls. They almost all went to the frontcourt and threw directly in the shooting area regardless of whether there was any defense, as if  The ball in your hand is like a hot potato, just throw it out and you're done.

    This is the same as the Lakers water cooler lineup players wanting to take more shots.

    When the game ended, the score was fixed at 123-90, and the final whistle sounded, the system prompt also came.

    "Crazy Birthday Night: The host needs to help special contract player Zhang Hao complete his revenge against the Knicks on his birthday night.

    Optional advanced goal 3: Zhang Hao proactively declares war on the Knicks before the game.  (completed)

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to set a new personal scoring record when facing the Knicks.  (Target score: 46 points, actual score: 60 points, completed.)

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers defeat the Knicks.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 Bronze level draw.

    Congratulations to the host for obtaining the advanced reward: 1 Silver Level Lottery.  "

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao appeared as a main player to help the Lakers defeat the Knicks. Congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 5 days of life bonus.

    The remaining life is 690 days and the usable life is 689 days.  "

    This game is equivalent to gaining 125 days of life!

    At the same time, Zhang Hao received a system prompt that the experience card time was over.

    There is nothing particularly regrettable. With a 32-point lead in three quarters, he will definitely not be able to play in the final quarter. In garbage time, it will affect the quality of his performance tonight.

    60 points in three quarters

    At this time, another system prompt came.

    "As confirmed by the technical desk, special contract player Zhang Hao scored 60 points in the game against the Knicks, breaking the NBA regular season rookie single-game scoring record held by Wilt Chamberlain. Congratulations to the host for winning a center medal."

    "Center Medal: When the host learns a top center skill from a center with a certain top skill, it can obtain a bonus medal related to that skill."

    With this reward, Zhang Hao really wanted to yell: "I told you I'm not a center!"

    But thinking about the Lakers¡¯ center history

    "Actually, I can also play center. Who is that, Lao Zhang, Lao Jia, wait for your brother to come to you in the summerJabbar is a fadeaway jumper? Or is it a physical training method? Zhang 20,000, 20,000 girls  Ahem, his fadeaway jumper seems to be his main scoring method"

    When Zhang Hao was feeling happy, another reminder came.

    ¡°It was confirmed by the technical desk that the 11 rebounds and 11 blocks of special contract player Zhang Hao are valid. He became the first player in NBA history to get a 60+ triple-double, making history. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 90-day lifespan bonus.

    The remaining life span is 780 days and the usable life span is 779 days.  "

    Zhang Hao thinks the first two draws and a center medal are okay. Those are things that improve professional abilities.

    But this 90-day life span is a real life span of 90 days longer!

    "780 days, two years to live!"

    Zhang Hao jumped up and started singing and dancing "eiei"

    Sing, dance, rap and basketball, live together!

    At this time, the live broadcast caught Zhang Hao¡¯s attention, and the post-match interview came.

    After the game, Ewing couldn't escape. He and Magic became the ones surrounded by the media after the game.

    When Zhang Hao saw this scene, he felt a little regretful that he could not continue to show off on the spot.

    Magic was very direct: "They didn't regard Akers as a star. I thought they were so strong, but they couldn't hold on for three quarters. What would have happened if Akers continued to play in the fourth quarter? It's a pity that the Knicks didn't  Let me see that scene.¡±

    "Compared with the Lakers' complacency, the Knicks' superstar is faced with verbal conflicts.

    When asked about not giving Zhang Hao tickets, Ewing was silent for a long time and responded: "I won't cry over spilled milk."

    coming!  What Zhang Hao was looking forward to was Ewing's answer!

    &nbThe Knicks have been ridiculed and their record has always been at the bottom, but their money-making team has always been the first in the NBA.

    Also, Zhang Hao was ejected by the referee at 11 minutes and 58 seconds of the third quarter of last night's game to avoid greater chaos on the scene. It has also become a famous scene in this game - he played too well and was ejected by the referee!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao woke up.

    Looking at the high-end clock on the bedside table that I always carry with me when playing away games, it says 6:18 am on January 8, 1996.

    "I woke up 3 minutes later than usual I played too late last night and couldn't turn on the study mode But it doesn't matter. I couldn't do the game last night even if it killed me again. There seems to be nothing to review.  of¡­¡­"

    "The remaining life is 689 days and the available life is 688 days."

    Looking at this lifespan, Zhang Hao really wants to continue playing music and dancing!

    Taking advantage of the excitement, Zhang Hao sat up, preparing to draw a prize and have fun again.

    We originally planned to draw a lottery yesterday, but the teammates have been busy since they returned to the locker room and had no time. It was already early in the morning when we returned to the hotel. The biological clock was up and it was long past time to go to bed.

    "Bronzesilverlet's get the bronze one first!"

    As soon as I thought about it, the subtitle prompt came.

    "The host uses the Bronze Level Lottery once"

    "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the prop: the glasses of the top student."

    "Glasses of a top student: Available to contracted players. When wearing these glasses, memory is improved, and the host can also use them when entering learning mode."

    Zhang Hao looked at the extra glasses on the quilt. He picked them up and saw that they were still rimless glasses, which were just a decoration!

You can also wear it when watching videos or somethingand when you're studying.  You can wear it, it¡¯s also useful for exams, can you put it away?¡±

    As soon as the idea came to Zhang Hao's mind, his eyes disappeared. The subtitles switched to the awards section, and "Glasses for Top Students" were on the awards list.

    "Not bad, not bad, you are very lucky! One more shot!"

    "The host uses the silver level lottery once"

    "Congratulations to the host for receiving the Bronze Medal: Rebound Protector."

    "Rebound Protector (Bronze) (not worn): Players wearing this medal, when blocking the rebound position, if they accurately block the opponent moving towards the rebound point, 25% of the time  probability of perfect blocking.¡±

    "Bronze medal? Isn't this a silver lottery?"

    ¡°Except for designated level lottery medals, the medals obtained in the lottery are all bronze-level. The probability of obtaining medals in the bronze-level lottery is 1%, the probability of obtaining medals in the silver-level lottery is 5%, and the probability of obtaining medals in the gold-level lottery is 10%.¡±

    "That's it I just celebrated my birthday, and I'm really lucky!

    This medal seems to fit very well with my current style of play!  My rebounding is average. If I can get in position like Campbell, it will be of great help to the team!

    I have to study more Why do I have so much to learn, but I am young and don¡¯t work hard I am only 19 years old!  "

    Zhang Hao quickly escaped from the state of "give a point guard and he is invincible" last night. Almost as soon as the system reminded him that the time to experience the "top-level off-ball play strength" was over, he knew that he should  There's a difference between the person he plays in Knicks games and the person he really is.

    But if you are happy, you still have to be happy!

    And, another happy thing happened this morning!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 135 135. Two people who have changed greatly (5000 words, please subscribe)

    "Ferrari asked me to be its spokesperson? Give me a car when signing the contract?"

    It really comes to whatever you want!

    Zhang Hao has been wanting to buy a car recently. His plan is to wait until the middle of the season and have time to buy a car during the All-Star weekend.

    Without hesitation, Zhang Hao received a call from Henry Thomas and responded: "Sign! But you have to sign the terms. If they don't agree, forget it. I think some brands will agree."

    Zhang Hao is no longer inflated about his own strength. He even feels that his current performance of 26 points per game is too good and there is a possibility of decline at any time.

    But he is very inflated by the increasing attention he receives Anyway, as time goes by, his commercial value will become higher and higher. Of course, if he can get paid for some endorsements, he will certainly not refuse them.

    But the bottom line is important.

    Henry Thomas knows the importance of this matter. Every time he signs an endorsement, Zhang Hao will emphasize this matter, and he also attaches great importance to it.

    Henry Thomas also respects Zhang Hao¡¯s bottom line.

    And, from a purely business perspective, this is also very important.

    After another chat about some of the benefits that might come from being selected as an All-Star starter, Zhang Hao hung up the phone.

    When Zhang Hao was on the phone with Henry Thomas, he heard the other party lament countless times, "I didn't expect this day to come so fast." He himself also didn't expect that his career would become what it is now.

    It¡¯s not that it¡¯s bad, but he feels that his fame has increased too quickly!  Far more famous than he deserves for his knowledge of his own strength.

    This puts a lot of pressure on him!

    In recent times, he has found that more and more superstars and teams have begun to target him.

    Although he has successfully crossed over, it is still only the middle of the season, and once he is really selected as the All-Star starter

    ¡°Why do I seem a little excited?

    ?? Okay, who is that Oh, by the way, Lu Xun said it well,

    "The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them."

    "It is mediocre to be envied by others."

    "All living beings in our ordinary country are born extraordinary"

    This is already the case, what else can be done?

    Anyway, it won¡¯t be any more stressful than having only two years to live.

    With such a comparison, Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t feel too stressed, just take it one step at a time!  Anyway, it¡¯s much better than the original plan.

    ¡­¡­

    The trend of gentlemen is getting stronger and stronger!

    While having breakfast, Zhang Hao looked at the newspapers that Pierce had spent a lot of money to buy, enough to fill the entire dining table

    Pierce is much more excited than Zhang Hao. He has been talking about last night¡¯s game since we met today.

    Zhang Hao is also very interested in the news. When he sees some newspaper saying that "being stingy is part of being a gentleman", he will laugh out loud.

    But at this time, there were also critics. The newspaper in Boston posted a picture of him raising his arms and threatening Anthony Mason Jr. on the newspaper, with the text "Gint Gate" next to it.

    What's wrong?  Can't a gentleman show off his arms?

    Overall, Zhang Hao is very satisfied with last night¡¯s game and the public opinion after the game. The Knicks were sprayed miserably and he finally let go of his anger!

    But there was one more thing that made him a little depressed!  NBA officials finally confirmed that the second technical foul Zhang received was valid!

    The reason is that he was interviewed on the court while the game was not stopped.

    "Is this what I want? I am passive, okay!"

    When it was time to have breakfast, Zhang Hao¡¯s trouble came.

    "Brother, this cake is delicious. Take a bite."

    "Akers is an athlete and cannot eat these things casually,"

    "My brother said that he exercises a lot, so it doesn't matter if he eats some sweets."

    "No, we are his friends and we have to supervise him."

    ""

    ""

    Zhang Hao watched the delicious food in front of him being brought to his mouth for a while, and then pushed away again Should he eat it or not?

    ¡­¡­

    Pierce will not go back to Los Angeles with the Lakers today. He will fly directly to Lawrence. Although it will be some time before school starts, he wants to go back to training.

    Although you can practice by yourself, training at a prestigious school like the University of Kansas with professional coaches will be more effective.

    Pierce doesn¡¯t want to lag too far behind Zhang Hao!

    Taking advantage of the vacation, Pierce¡¯s mother also wants to go to the University of Kansas to see where her son is studying. When school is about to start, she will be busy againWith his excellent defense, he easily penetrated the inside and scored two points with a one-handed chop.

    Garnett looked at Zhang Hao who came back to the back after dunking and high-fived the magician expressionlessly to celebrate

    "Despicable bastard! Do you look like a gentleman?"

    Garnett was already furious right after the game started!

    She actually distracted him by mocking him while jumping the ball!

    Zhang Hao really wanted to congratulate Garnett for getting rid of the head coach Bill Blair who looked down on high school rookies, but in Garnett's view, this is ironic!

    Because Zhang Hao has been a starter since the first game of the regular season, and after coming to the Lakers, he quickly became the core of the Lakers' team building, and he, Garnett, has just started.

    In a team like the Timberwolves, many of the messages Garnett received were negative energy feedback. Over time, when faced with a sentence, he always thought in a bad direction, especially when the media always said that the Timberwolves selected  High school students all chose the wrong way

    Ever since, Garnett began to enter a crazy defensive state!

    The Timberwolves' first offense ended hastily. Laettner started with the ball and hit the ball in singles.

    Recently, Leitner has been very depressed and has a serious sense of crisis. He has felt that the team does not value him as much as before, so he is fighting for the right to play at all costs, which has brought about a decline in efficiency.

    When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao felt that Garnett was going crazy. He was pulling and pulling and making small moves when chasing defense. Not to mention, Garnett's 87 speed + brown sugar-style defense, as well as his excellent defensive ability around the pile.  , it is really difficult for him to find opportunities to catch and shoot.

    Garnett¡¯s defense of off-ball players is a benefit for the Timberwolves, as they don¡¯t need help from others to switch defenses!  This is what Garnett's talent is praised for. He is still just a rookie, and he can support the team's defense in one area. Seeing his game makes people compare to Olajuwon's ability.  A historical defensive player who can defend an area by himself.

    The Timberwolves players were very excited to play in Los Angeles. The Lakers' first positional attack seemed to have to be left to Van Exel to make a strong shot.

    At this time, Zhang Hao took the initiative to come to the left side of the three-second zone and leaned on Garnett to ask for the ball!

    Since it¡¯s a singles match, Zhang Hao wants to do it by himself!

    It¡¯s not usually like this, but tonight we played against Garnett. Garnett seemed particularly excited, and Zhang Hao was also very excited!

    When you play against a rookie in the same class, you want to hit him, especially when you meet a rookie in the same class with a higher pick. This characteristic of Zhang Hao is already understood by his teammates.

    Van Exel slandered "Small-minded gentleman" and then passed the ball to Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao suddenly stepped forward and turned over for a jump shot

    Although Garnett has an advantage over Zhang Hao in terms of size, there is a huge difference in strength and similar tonnage. Garnett was knocked back into the three-second zone and watched as Zhang Hao easily turned over and hit a jumper!

    Although Garnett¡¯s ability evaluation reached 78, it was 4 points higher than Zhang Hao¡¯s ability evaluation of 74.

    But Garnett's skills are too comprehensive. He can do everything, but he is not proficient in anything. On the defensive end, he is only good at assisting defense, chasing defense, and cutting off routes. He is very talented, but when compared with a player with such extreme strength as Zhang Hao,  PickI was beaten at the beginning!

    The fans at the scene once again applauded and screamed for Zhang Hao!

    When playing against a team that is second to last in the Western Conference and fifth to last in the league, Lakers fans will not be so enthusiastic, but when they encounter a rookie in the same class as Zhang Hao and a rookie with a higher draft pick than Zhang Hao, the fans at the scene love to cheer.  !

    Fans also noticed Zhang Hao¡¯s response to the rookies of the same class who were ranked higher than him, and they also wanted the world to agree that their gentleman should be the first overall pick!

 Chapter 136 136. A mighty winning streak!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    The Timberwolves can win more than 20 games a year, which is unparalleled. The lineup is not even as good as the Nets where Zhang Hao was originally.

    The game itself is indeed nothing to watch. The Timberwolves did not break out today, and the Lakers quickly took the lead.

    Only the one-on-one duel between Zhang Hao and Garnett attracted the attention of fans and even players from both teams.

    Zhang Hao is very good, but as long as he plays against Garnett, he can feel Garnett's super talent. They are both rookies, and the duel between the two is quite attractive.

    Garnett is not yet the first-class scorer who will average 20+ per game for 9 consecutive years. If he wants to deal with Zhang Hao, all he can do is find a way on the defensive end.

    "As for Zhang Hao, if he doesn't cooperate with his teammates and competes one-on-one with Garnett, he really has an advantage in terms of technique which means he has an advantage in terms of coordination and strength.

    As the game progressed, teammates and fans discovered one thing - their super rookie was actually not that perfect.

    Under Garnett's defense, Zhang Hao's most efficient singles game is to turn around and shoot jump shots, or forcefully turn around and attack the frame in the three-second zone.

    Zhang Hao turns around in the mid-range, and Garnett can rely on his prediction ability and excellent movement ability to get stuck in position in advance.

    Let alone face-to-face, Zhang Hao can't beat many opponents.

    But once it comes to dynamic offense, Zhang Hao is more than one step ahead of Garnett!

    Zhang Hao is better in terms of running awareness, utilization of teammates, timing of movement and timing of shootingetc.

    The key is shooting. They are all high school rookies. Garnett is seven months older, but Zhang Hao's shooting is not comparable to Garnett's.

    In singles, Zhang Hao does not have the ball-handling ability of Garnett, but he has one move that only depends on luck when defending Garnett, which is to see whether Zhang Hao's touch is good or not - relying on strength to hit the back.

    In this regard, Garnett has not yet.

    The game reached 8 minutes and 35 seconds of the third quarter. After the suspense was completely lost, Zhang Hao, who made 9 of 18 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws, was replaced.

    22 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, this is Zhang Hao's performance of 31 minutes.

    Garnett played 29 minutes, making 4 of 11 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

    At this time, the Lakers already led the Timberwolves by 21 points, 73-52.

    Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders' preference for Garnett makes teammates somewhat sympathetic to Laettner.

    At that time, Laettner was second only to Grant Hill in college. Because he was a white insider, he became a member of the Dream Team. However, he never did well after entering the NBA. In this game, Flip Saunders for  Let Garnett feel the strength of the strongest rookie. Laettner, the team's strongest player in his prime who is rushing to take shots, was replaced and benched after playing a few minutes.

    Everyone can see that Laettner took the initiative because opportunities were getting fewer and fewer and he had to fight for it, but no matter whether he played well or badly, it seemed that he could not escape the result of being abandoned in the end.

    But Garnett does have talent!

    This is very realistic

    There is no surprise. The Timberwolves who have not broken out are not opponents of any strong team at all, and the Timberwolves, who have few outside shooters, have little chance of breaking out.

    In the end, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 108-90 and won 9 consecutive victories!

    In this game, teammates and fans at the scene learned more clearly about Zhang Hao's strengths and weaknesses.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s playing style and technical situation confirm that he will not be the kind of core player who can build a team around him now.

    However, everyone can see that he is the kind of player who can integrate into almost any offensive system. Trading or signing a player with core inside and outside play will not affect him at all, but will provide him with a super offensive point.  It can also reduce its reliance on scoring points and allow it to play better.

    In the game against the Timberwolves, outside of the 20 or so possessions in which Zhang Hao received the ball, Magic was the starting point of the offense. Due to the poor overall defense of the Timberwolves, Magic scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in the three quarters.  , scored a triple-double for the first time since his comeback.

    When the Magician plays well, Zhang Hao, if not playing in singles, performs even better than when he is the main containment point.

    This game may not seem important, the opponent is so weak, but it is actually quite important.

    But after Zhang Hao scored 60 points in a single game, many people had extra expectations for him. Maybe Zhang Hao cannot respond to this expectation at this stage.

    It happened that a game like this happened at this time. Zhang Hao wanted to challenge Garnett in a duel, but his opponent was not strong. His teammates and head coach gave him a chance, and he will?Most Valuable Player.  "

    The magician was stunned and said with a smile: "Haha, I was lucky that time. Without Kareem, how could I have won the FMVP in my rookie season."

    Zhang Hao curled his lips, noncommittal.

    This rookie with such a delicate heart The magician did not continue the topic and asked: "Did you encounter any troubles?"

    It¡¯s good to have seniors you can ask. Zhang Hao asked: ¡°Our recent state is too good, we have won 12 consecutive games¡±

    When the magician heard this question, a series of questions ran through his mind: "Is there anything wrong with us being in good condition?"

    "Uh" Zhang Hao was asked and didn't know how to answer.

    yes!

    You are in good condition, what¡¯s wrong?

    Zhang Hao scratched his face, struggled to organize his words and said: "But I don't think we can win the first place in the Western Conference. If our form declines in the future and our record drops again"

    Zhang Hao himself couldn¡¯t say this anymore.

    "Hahahaha" The magician didn't expect that Zhang Hao was struggling with this. He laughed for a long time before he stopped laughing and responded: "Who would think about what to do if they lose when they keep winning? We shouldn't  Do you want to win more games while you are in good shape now?

    Leave tomorrow¡¯s affairs to tomorrow. I¡¯m almost 37 years old and I don¡¯t worry as much as you do. You are only 19 years old. Why are you worrying about these things? Aren¡¯t you happy to win?

    While you are winning now, try to enjoy more happy times!

    Lakers fans are not that easy to deal with. They will be scolded a lot when they lose in the future!

    Of course, you are right to worry, we are definitely not good enough, but we can work hard to get better!

    Because we have you!  "

    Zhang Hao was silent for a while, feeling that his anxiety this time was a bit silly.

    Who really sees them as a championship team?  He himself doesn't regard the Lakers as a championship team

    "Since we are not a championship team at all, then why should I worry so much? You are stupid, just keep training!"

    Thinking of the magician¡¯s last words, Zhang Hao stood up decisively.

    "I'm rested, let's continue training! Magician, we still have two days of rest, can we practice more today?"

    "It's okay to practice more, but just wait! My old bones can't stand your torture"

    Although he said this, the magician still stood up.

    Recently, Zhang Hao¡¯s footwork has improved significantly, and the magician has to be more serious.

    These additional trainings are also the reason why magicians can get into the best condition faster. It is becoming increasingly difficult to easily abuse Zhang Hao in one-on-one situations!

    Another day of training passed, and at 10:50 pm, Zhang Hao turned off the TV and prepared to go to bed.

    Suddenly, the subtitles popped up!

    "The team of special contracted player Zhang Hao has won 12 consecutive victories, and has aroused strong hostility from Michael Jordan, the strongest player in the league today. Mission Glory Mark 2 is triggered"

 Chapter 137 137. Open mouth (5,000 words more, please subscribe)

    "I provoked whoeverwell, I killed him twice! Damn! Stingy basketball god!"

    Zhang Hao turned on the learning mode and practiced the defensive training during the day in the learning mode. Zhang Hao, who was training in the simulated defensive training, couldn't help but start criticizing Jordan again.

    At this point in his winning streak, Zhang Hao was walking on thin ice in every game, afraid of losing, and worried about gains and losses.

    With great difficulty, he was freed from the mentality of worrying about gains and losses. Well, he found that he had become a thorn in Jordan's side!

    When he was worrying about gains and losses, the outside world never stopped praising him.

    His Lakers team keeps winning!  With 30 wins and 8 losses, the Sonics can hardly hold it anymore!

    No, just yesterday, January 17, the league announced the results of the second All-Star voting. As of January 15, Zhang had already ranked second with 1.21 million votes, surpassing Charles Barkley's 1.16 million votes.  The West finished second in votes.

    In the entire league, he currently ranks fourth in votes, followed by Grant Hill with 1.43 million votes, Jordan with 1.39 million votes and Olajuwon with 1.25 million votes.

    Judging from the current trend, public opinion generally believes that he can surpass Olajuwon's votes at the most, and is even expected to replicate Grant Hill's All-Star vote leader in his rookie season.

    Just like Grant Hill led a group of new fans to vote last season, Zhang Hao also brought the same effect in this era of rapid increase in NBA fans. The voting results of these two rounds of 20 days have already exceeded  Last season Grant Hill set an NBA All-Star starting voting record of more than 1.28 million votes!

    Although it was Grant Hill himself who broke the record, from the popularity point of view, it can be seen that Zhang Hao brought a surge in votes.

    Because if you want to vote for Zhang Hao, you have to vote for someone else. When voting for other positions, most voters will choose the one they think is the best or the most popular.

    Just last night, Zhang Hao received a task prompt before going to bed. He turned on the TV again and watched it. It happened to be the post-game interview after the Bulls won 15 consecutive victories. Jordan was very uneasy and said in the post-game interview that the Bulls had not received  With due respect, they are the team in the best shape right now and should be the most popular team

    ¡°Mark of Glory 2: Special signing player Zhang Hao¡¯s Lakers and Michael Jordan¡¯s Bulls are both on a winning streak.

    Goal: The host needs to guide Zhang Hao to help the Lakers achieve a longer winning streak than the Bulls' current winning streak.

    Rewards: 1 gold draw, special card: explosive moment.

    Breaking point moment (*): In this winning streak, how many more games will the Lakers win than the Bulls, and how many more games will the team of special contract player Zhang Hao stay hot?

    Failure penalty: In this winning streak, the Lakers have had fewer consecutive winning games than the Bulls. How many games will the team of special contract player Zhang Hao be in a downturn next?  "

    Gain buffs, debuff buffs, or group buffs are applied to the team that Zhang is on.

    It seems that Zhang Hao has guessed it: "The frustration after the winning streak ends, the relaxation that I feel I can restand so on, the emotions are infinitely magnified"

    "The Bulls are currently on a 15-game winning streak, which means we can't lose while the Bulls are still on a winning streak. If the Bulls' winning streak is interrupted, we have to continue to rush!"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    During the next two days of rest, Zhang Hao was training hard. In addition to training, he was studying the videos of the next few opponents.

    When Zhang Hao was wearing glasses and watching the video in the lounge, his teammates felt that Zhang Hao really looked like a little gentleman, good-looking, quiet, wearing glasses

    Curious Jason Williams reached out and poked itthere was no lens!

    "This is a pretense!"

    On January 20, after four days of rest, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

    "The Cavaliers' ancestors are not as shabby as future fans say! It's just that they don't have a championship. There are so many teams in the NBA that don't have a championship"

    Trier Brandon, with an ability rating of 89, averaged 20 points, 6.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. His defensive contribution ranked fourth among point guards and eighth among guards in the league. He is an All-Star level point guard who combines offense and defense with good organizational skills.  guard.

    In addition to Trill Brandon, the Cavaliers also have five players who are in the top ten in defensive contribution at their respective positions.

    Under Brandon's leadership, the Cavaliers currently rank third in the Eastern Conference with 25 wins and 14 losses, behind the 35-5 Bulls and 31-8 Magic, and even better than the 25-15 Pacers.  Be good.

    Thinking of the scouting report that the Cavaliers averaged 92.3 points per game and conceded 88.1 points per game after playing 39 games, Zhang Hao was confused.?Pierce's mother took out the cross that his mother had given him to ward off evil spirits, and began to pray devoutly

    The magician went to play cards with the young people for a while. Except for his bad luck in bed, he always had good luck at other times. He won several games in a row, but was driven away by James Worthy who was jealous of the loss.

    Returning to the first row of seats, the magician saw Zhang Hao sitting next to him praying, and asked curiously: "What are you praying for, Ax?"

    Zhang Hao responded: "I am praying to God to protect the Bulls from losing todayIs God Jesus?"

    ¡°¡­¡± The magician was speechless.

    The Bulls are messing with you!  You should always beat them!

    It¡¯s good if people don¡¯t pray to Satan and curse you, but you still pray to God that they lose?

    Andthe magician bites the bullet and replies: "Jesus is the Son of God, and God is Jehovah."

    "" Zhang Hao silently put away the cross and prayed to the Jade Emperor or the Moral God. He didn't know if they could control this mess like the United States.

    But Magic also really wants to see the Bulls lose. If the Bulls win again, they will have an 18th consecutive victory!

    No, this morning four North American-level TV stations announced that they would broadcast the game between the Bulls and the Nuggets. They finally regained a victory for the Bulls and managed to grab the hottest news this morning.

    Magician analyzed: "It may be difficult for the Bulls to lose. Their opponent is the Nuggets. It will be too difficult for the Nuggets to beat the Bulls"

    ¡­¡­

    That night, Magic watched the Nuggets leading the Bulls by 14 points 34-20 in the first quarter, leading the Bulls by 11 points 34-23 in the second quarter, and leading the Bulls by 25 points 68-43 at halftime.  Slap in the face.

    The Bulls recovered in the third quarter. After Jordan only scored 3 points on 0-for-8 shooting in the first half, he scored 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting and 5-for-5 free throws in the third quarter, leading the Bulls.  He played an iconic crazy performance in the third quarter, scoring 39 points in a single quarter and limiting the Nuggets to only 13 points in a single quarter. It only took one quarter to overtake the terrifying 25-point deficit.  !

    But in the final quarter, the Bulls, who had been winning for too long and had been angry for too long, withered after playing such a game.

    Although Jordan scored 15 points in the final quarter, the Bulls only scored 17 points in the final quarter. The Nuggets scored 21 points in the final quarter. Jordan was unable to hold on alone. In the end, the Nuggets narrowly defeated the Bulls 102-99, ending the Bulls' 17-point streak.  Winning streak!

    Just when I felt like I was done with the slap in the face, Magic just called Zhang Hao¡¯s room and told him that the Bulls were about to overtake, but the slap in the face became even more fierce!

    "Is prayer really effective? Damn it! That kid even worshiped the wrong god!"

    The magician felt that Zhang Hao¡¯s mouth had opened up!

    On the other side, Zhang Hao felt like crying with joy when he saw the Bulls losing

    The Bulls finally lost!  If they keep winning like this, Zhang Hao doesn't know how to pursue them!

    ¡°But 17 consecutive victoriesthat is, 18 consecutive victories are needed to complete that task.

    Zhang Hao flipped through the schedule in the team manual.

    "Let's see, next we play the 76ers and then the Nets, it should be fine. Next, the Warriors, it's fine too. The remaining three games this month won't be a big problem, but we still can't be careless.  The weaker the opponent, the more cautious I have to be, capsizing in the gutter is often caused by carelessness Look at next month's schedule Damn it!"

    Zhang Hao felt like he was going to burst when he saw his first opponent in February!

    "This is a bad thing, must it be intentional! Let's forget it! Is there any justice? It just happened to be the Bulls after 17 consecutive victories!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 138 138. About being a good point guard (5000 words please subscribe)

    Zhang Hao took a look. In the four games before the All-Star Weekend in February, the opponents were the Bulls, Nuggets, Nets, and Jazz.

    The Nets currently have a 14-game winning streak, and the Bulls have a 17-game winning streak before playing the Nuggets.

    ¡°That means no matter whether the Bulls lose tonight or not, if I want to complete this task, I must beat the Bulls?¡±

    " A double kill of the Bulls is already a miracle, and it's a cross-team double kill.

    ¡°Forget it, let it be fate, what if I can do it? What if the Bulls can¡¯t win 70 games because of me?

    By the way, the current record for wins is 69 wins held by the Lakers, which is our record.

    I am not fighting for myself, but for the glory of team history!  "

    Thinking about it this way, Zhang Hao suddenly felt that he was a lot more powerful.

    Duncan's non-participation in the 1996 draft will not affect the 76ers' performance at all.

    As for the inside, they got Coleman. They are not interested in the inside except Duncan, but they are interested in the point guard. Some media broke the news that since Duncan decided not to participate in the draft, the 76ers' scouts have appeared in George many times.  City College and Georgia Tech game.

    The goal is quite clear.

    There is also news that the 76ers scouts appeared at some high school games. This was regarded as Zhang Hao's play and Garnett's talent was visible to the naked eye. The 76ers showed strong interest in high school rookies.  .

    All in all, the 76ers are in trouble. Each team has played 39 to 42 games. Currently, there are only 4 teams left with less than 10 wins. The Timberwolves and Bucks both won 10th place.  In each game, the Grizzlies, Raptors, Mavericks and 76ers all won less than 10 games.

    At 6 pm on January 24, the Lakers¡¯ away game against the 76ers started.

    Zhang Hao was a little regretful. Stackhouse played a total of 22 minutes tonight. He played for a while in each quarter, but he might have been replaced before he even found his form. He has averaged 38 points per game so far this season.  Minutes of playing time is completely unsatisfactory.

    And cowardly!  He actually had 4 assists in 22 minutes, and only took 5 shots. He scored 4 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds on 2 of 5 shots

    Zhang Hao didn't play long tonight. He played 28 minutes and made 6 of 12 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws. Unfortunately, he missed the last extra penalty and scored 19 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks.  ¡¯s data was replaced. At that time, the Lakers already led 73 to 51 by 22 points.

    In the end, the Lakers defeated the 76ers 100-88, continuing their recent hot state, winning 15 consecutive victories and improving their record to 33 wins and 8 losses!

    ¡­¡­

    The Sonics' five-game winning streak was ended by the Magic. After playing 41 games, the Sonics' record became 32 wins and 9 losses, and they were officially overtaken by the Lakers, who had 33 wins and 8 losses!

    After this wave of hot winning streak that no one expected, the Lakers topped the Western Conference!

    From the beginning of the Zhang Hao deal, no one expected this to be the case. The Lakers, who were 10 wins and 5 losses at the time, actually posted a record of 23 wins and 3 losses after trading for Zhang Hao. It was simply brutal!  During this period, the Lakers' record was the same as the Bulls', both 23 wins and 3 losses!

    Zhang Hao improved from 60 points in a single game to an average of 26+ points per game, and gradually stabilized during the winning streak. His strength proved that the Lakers were correct in trading him.

    Logo Man said in an interview: "Listen to the truth? When I was a high school student in Akers, I thought he would be the best in this draft, but I didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to compete with Hill and Jordan.  , Bird, Johnson and other rookies, I am also paying attention to him like you, curious about what he can bring to the NBA in his rookie season."

    With the same boast, Logo Man is much rounder than McHale.

    ??It¡¯s obviously more exaggerated, but the words of the logo man just don¡¯t make people feel annoying.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s performance since joining the NBA so far cannot be overstated.

    Winner takes all, and most of the news about the Lakers praises Zhang Hao.

    But there will definitely be different opinions. For example, t.n.t listed the data. After the Magic came back, Zhang Hao's performance improved to a higher level. Before that, Zhang Hao's performance was the level of a first-class scorer. His actual contribution on the field was the same as that of the Pistons.  Compared with the team's Alan Houston, the Hornets' Glenn Rice, and the Hawks' Steve Smith, they don't have an advantage but they don't suffer much either.

    When the Magic comes back, Zhang Hao's role on the court can be directly compared with first-line stars such as Drexler, Reggie Miller, and Mickey Richmondif you include the outbreak against the Knicks,  Zhang Hao still has the upper hand.

    &nbspsp;¡­¡­

    "I just said it casually"

    Zhang Hao looked at what was written in the news, chewed an omelette and complained.

    April Clark wiped the corners of Zhang Hao¡¯s mouth with a napkin: ¡°Akers, it¡¯s all squirted out.

    When you eat, swallow it before you talk!  "

    "Um¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao looked at the newspaper spread out next to him. He said before that "I chose the No. 8 jersey because 8 players were selected before me." This was once again used as a hype by the media.

    He couldn¡¯t have said at the time, ¡°I just want to see what that guy will wear in the future,¡± right?

    But Zhang Hao really saw the news about that guy!

    "Kobe Bryant broke the Pennsylvania high school scoring record held by Wilt Chamberlain with a total of 2,883 points in the high school basketball league, and led Lower Merion High School to win the Pennsylvania high school league championship with a record of 31 wins and 3 losses.  ."

    Although it¡¯s just such a short paragraph, it¡¯s not on the front page, but it¡¯s on the front page of several sports newspapers.

    "Kobe is about to enter the NBA, he's only 17 years old I don't know if the logo man can come up with some magical way to get him back A genius who can be selected to the All-NBA Team at the age of 20 after just two years of hard work.  Anyone in our team is worthy of being replaced"

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao was still a little excited.

    But what we have to face now is the current competition. Whether the logo man can use the magical transportation method is a matter of the future.

    Also, the current popularity of high school students is higher than Zhang Hao's impression. Obviously this is his influence For example, Lamar Odom in New York is very popular, not much worse than Kobe.  Magic's nickname has spread, especially in Los Angeles. Many people are paying attention to Odom and looking forward to this guy joining the Lakers in the future.

    reason¡­¡­

    ¡°I actually need that kind of point guard, damn, a point guard who giggles after being dunked by his opponent?

    ¡°It¡¯s pretty cool not to lose your mind¡­¡±

    After eating the breakfast that April Clark got up at 6 a.m. to prepare, Zhang Hao first drove April Clark to the Great Western Forum Arena in the sports car sent by Ferrari, and then April Clark drove to school  ¡­

    Every girl is a bit vain, and April Clark is the same. Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t go out much anyway. He either spends time at the basketball court at home or at the team¡¯s training facility. After getting the car, he spends most of his time as April Clark.  In the evening, April Clark was going to watch the game. After the game, she happened to take Zhang Hao home.

    After a day of preparation time, at 7:40 pm, Zhang Hao entered the stadium with his teammates.

    When you enter the stadium, the task prompt comes!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao is about to compete with his fellow No. 1 pick Joe Smith. Mission: No. 1 pick? Trigger"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 139 139. The boss who comes out with his own BGM (5000 words please subscribe)

    ¡°The number one scholar?:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, special signing player Zhang Hao must have higher scores, rebounds, and assists than Joe Smith in the next game against the Warriors.

    Reward: The host receives a lifespan reward equal to the difference between the three data.

    Optional advanced goals: Steals and blocks are also included in the goals. Zhang Hao needs 5 data to be higher than Joe Smith.

    Advanced reward: The host receives a lifespan reward that is double the difference between the five data items.

    Note: Rewards do not stack.  "

    The task came. First, Zhang Hao analyzed it calmly.

    ¡°My scoring is definitely better than him, rebounds and assists are hard to say Assists depends on whether my teammates can make a shot, rebounds let my teammates block him! What a great idea!

    Advanced goal, I am definitely better at blocking shots than him. I am one of the top ten shot blockers in the league. I can steal, let¡¯s see Damn it!  He averages 1 steal per game, and I average 0.6 per game It's not like I can't give it a try, let's win!  "

    Zhang Hao looked at his 806-day lifespan, which was getting closer and closer to 1,000 days, so of course he had to give it a try!

    "The host chooses the advanced target"

    Seeing the mission prompt, Zhang Hao¡¯s fighting spirit started burning!

    By coincidence, at this time, Joe Smith walked out of the visiting team's tunnel. When Joe Smith came on the stage, his teammates glanced at Zhang Hao subconsciously I'm going!  So grumpy!

    As expected, our rookie gets irritable when he sees players in the same class who are drafted higher than him!

    Currently in the midst of a winning streak, the other players on the Lakers are also working hard, and no one wants the winning streak to be interrupted.

    Of course, because the winning streak lasts too long, I will be worried and afraid that the winning streak will be interrupted, so I am always looking for motivation for myself, working hard to prepare for the war and play every game well.

    Playing against the Warriors tonightthere is really nothing to cheer them up.

    But now, there is!

    When this emotion emerged, it was greatly enhanced.

    Ever since, when the home team Lakers came on the field, Zhang Hao suddenly discovered that the eyes of his teammates were so passionate tonight, as if they wanted to kill the opposing Warriors.

    "We don't seem to have any grudges against the Warriors, right? My teammates are really a group of good players who love the game and are eager to win!"

    Zhang Hao silently praised his teammates.

    After looking at the Warriors' lineup, Zhang Hao felt that Adelman was similar to Larry Brown. This famous coach only knew one style of play. Contrary to Larry Brown's defense, Adelman was good at offense and was only suitable for leading.  Teams that are bursting with talent and everyone can pass the ball win.

    For example, the Trail Blazers in the early 1990s had Drexler, Terry Porter, Jerome Kersey, Buck Williams, and Kevin Dakovos who were so strong that they were even  When teams were so strong that they had to give up shots to each other, Adelman was able to lead the Trail Blazers to 60+ wins at the peak of the offensive era in the early 1990s.

    Of course, this is definitely ability. Being able to make good use of a lineup with four or five All-Stars is ability.

    ¡°It¡¯s probably a big headache to let a coach with insufficient ability and leadership ability to coach a star lineup.

    Thinking about it this way, Zhang Hao felt that Adelman and Zen Master are quite similar, but they don't have real king players like Zen Master. Adelman always has more stars than Zen Master, but the best players are always worse.  Some.

    The real difference between the two is that Jackson can adjust the triangle offense according to the characteristics of the superstar, while Adelman needs more demanding players.

    No, the Warriors' lineup can be said to be quite good, with Oliver Miller, Chris Gatlin, Joe Smith, Ronny Seikaly, and old partner Jeromy Kersey on the inside.  There are Sprewell, Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin, BJ Armstrong on the outside This lineup is no worse than the top four teams in the Western Conference!  But it doesn't meet Adelman's requirements at all.

    The ball-moving style of play that Adelman is good at cannot be played on this team at all, and Adelman doesn't like players who always hold the ball, such as Tim Hardaway, who is theoretically the strongest on the Warriors.  , under Adelman, he could only play as a substitute.

    Chris Mullin is also not liked by Adelman.

    Adelman didn't come last season. Mullin averaged 19 points and 5 assists per game, and Tim Hardaway averaged 20 points and 9 assists per game. This season, both of them are substitutes, and their playing time is almost cut in half because both of them are holding the ball.  The combination of a small forward with a ball-holding style like Madman is simply incomprehensible From a tactical perspective, there is almost no answer for them to get along.

    But Adelman directly put the two men on the bench and the Warriors became even worse.

    There is no bad blood between the two teams, but not too much.The girl just needs to be pumped!

    ¡°Forget it, he¡¯s still a child after the Chinese New Year, and a crazy person is too lazy to behave like a kid.

    The madman didn¡¯t continue to take action!  The referee was surprised, and so were his teammates, because Madman is the kind of player who even dares to challenge Malone. The more fierce the opponent looks, the more excited Madman becomes.

    The Lakers players breathed a sigh of relief. The man in front of them had not missed a single game due to injury in his rookie season, but was suspended for 18 games for fighting. He was a notorious genius swingman.

    It was a small conflict, but it didn¡¯t matter. The referee did not whistle the penalty and gave Zhang Hao a warning.

    Seeing Zhang Hao expressionlessly going to the free throw line to add a penalty, the magician sighed inwardly: "Our rookie is really a troublemaker! How many people have he offended now? Can the human bird not be so big?"

    At times like this, Magic can always think of his best friend and rival, the greatest superstar in team history.

    Zhang Hao also wanted to slap himself, why couldn't he hold back just now?

    He thought he had just made a mistake that every man would make. Which man would be able to bear not to tease Xiao Lao Lao when he saw her?

    The extra free throw was missed, Joe Smith collected the defensive rebound, and Zhang Hao retreated quickly. He felt three hostile looks. He thought it would be Joe Smith, Ronny Celica, and Madman.

    But after the madman advanced to the frontcourt, he calmly continued to look for Jeromy Corsi to pick and roll, and wanted to beat him by name. He was very calm

    Zhang Hao felt that the hostile and even sad eyes came from Jerome Corsi, whom Zhang Hao was supposed to guard against!

    "Weird guy, he has such a good relationship with the No. 1 pick?"

    Ignoring the veteran, Zhang Hao focused on guarding against the madman He failed to guard, the madman directly beat Zhang Hao in isolation after picking and rolling, and hit a mid-range emergency stop jumper!

    In terms of personal ability, the Warriors' lineup is really good on the offensive end. Joe Smith, who has a mid-range shot of 87, has excellent space containment ability, and Jeromy Corsi, who is thin and old but has high intelligence and strong cutting ability, is a great impact threat after the pick-and-roll.  , bj-Armstrong has an extremely exaggerated 47% shooting rate from the three-point range

    The Warriors were able to win 18 games this season, almost entirely relying on personal ability, and had nothing to do with tactics or anything else. This is really impressive.

    After a few rounds, the Lakers played well. The Warriors' defense was trying hard to deal with Adelman, but the effect was not very good. But the only problem was that as soon as Zhang Hao received the ball, the other two forwards flanked him like crazy.  So, the magician who took over the ball began to direct Zhang Hao's movements.

    Finally, at 4 minutes and 48 seconds of the first quarter, Zhang Hao met Joe Smith's defensive switch after going around the baseline and got a one-on-one opportunity to catch the ball!

    Without hesitation, facing Joe Smith¡¯s very mobile defense, Zhang Hao caught the ball and turned around to shoot a jump shothit!

    Scored 4 points in the first minute of the game, but did not score for more than 3 minutes Finally, he scored. After scoring, Zhang Hao thought of one thing instantly

    Zhang Hao's shooting naturally attracted much attention, and so did his teammates on the court. After seeing Zhang Hao catch the ball and turn around and hit a jumper, they did not retreat silently as before, but instead beat their chests with pride and went to  Run back!

 Chapter 140 140. Winning streak crisis!  (5000 words more, please subscribe)

    ????????????????????????????? Why are you suddenly so arrogant?

    The teammates were quite puzzled, and the opponents were also confused by Zhang Hao's celebration.

    Zhang Hao has worked very hard to show his iron-bloodedness, but because of his young appearance, anyone who does not deliberately target him or have prejudice against him will regard this scene as tsundere.

    High school students are always special

    Although Joe Smith hates Zhang Hao even more, in addition to the initial envy, jealousy, and hatred, he will not care about the fact that he did it first, but he is still confused about Zhang Hao's action Anyway, I don't know why.  I feel that Zhang Hao¡¯s actions are very unsatisfactory!

    At the same time, he vaguely felt that Zhang Hao in this state might retreat after being beaten

    Joe Smith is also miserable. Originally, without Zhang Hao, he still had a first-class mid-range shot in his rookie season that is worthy of praise.

    However, Zhang Hao's mid-range shooting is obviously a level better than his, and even more so. With the more famous Zhang Hao, when people mention mid-range masters among young players, they don't think of fellow rookie Joe Smith at all.  .

    But Zhang Hao can see it. Today, I saw Joe Smith's mid-range shooting evaluation and suddenly remembered this. As for why he wasn't iron-blooded when he played against Garnett a few days ago Garnett is not qualified.

    When Garnett started to become iron-blooded, hey, he found that someone had already become iron-blooded before him.

    Back to the backcourt, Zhang Hao felt that it was not easy to win. The opponent's players' personal abilities were really too strong.

    In terms of his personal data, it is not that easy to score. The Warriors are quick to retreat, have strong athletic ability, and are not easy to counterattack. During the positional battle, although Joe Smith did not dare to make big moves to defend him, he was tightly flanked.

    Not only is Joe Smith similar to Garnett in size and style of play, but his defense is also very similar. At this stage, he can be regarded as an enhanced version of Garnett.  To the ball, Joe Smith was there immediately.

    This is a bit like Garnett's restraint on Nowitzki. When the two were in their prime, Garnett's teammates were so bad. When they played against Nowitzki, who always had luxurious teammates, the results were mixed.  It's hard to say who is stronger between the two, but when the two compete directly, Garnett usually makes Nowitzki's shooting, rebounding and passing performance worse than usual.

    Tonight, BJ Armstrong performed well in open shots, Jeromy Corsi performed well in cutting, and Joe Smith also made a catch-and-shoot from the free throw line. Sprewell once again ignored Adelman's offensive tactics and focused on  In isolation situations, relying on his teammates to catch the ball and make shots, Sprewell scored 5 points and 3 assists in the half, helping the Warriors score 16 points in the half!

    On the Lakers side, Zhang Hao scored 6 points in the half, plus the scores of Campbell and Van Exel, leading the Warriors by 1 point 17-16 in the half and entering the official timeout.

    "Think about how you can help the team create a lead first. Put aside tasks and other tasks first. With 17 consecutive victories, if you can't win the next game against the Bulls, you will directly enter a slump"

    Zhang Hao, who returned to the bench and sat down, immediately made a decision.

    Looking at the arrogant Chou Nezha on the other side, Zhang Hao secretly sighed, a group of second-level defense players are no joke!

    Without playing against Sprewell in person, Zhang Hao really didn¡¯t know that the madman who shouted ¡°I can¡¯t support my family with 21 million U.S. dollars¡± would be so fierce when he was young!

    That is to say, the Warriors management had a hard time trading away Webber, the inside man who was most suitable for Sprewell, and also made Nelson so angry that he left the team. Otherwise, Sprewell would have gone from being a first-team, second-defense player in the past two years.  The journey to superstardom.

    too strong!  That is to say, Van Exel, who was leaning back and almost lying down, scored a three-pointer, otherwise the Lakers would have fallen behind at the start!

    Among the stars who combine offense and defense, Zhang Hao reviewed the players he has met since entering the NBA until now. It is hard to say what type Stockton is. Putting Stockton aside, apart from Jordan, Zhang Hao thinks it is Sprewell.  , Grant Hill's pressure on Zhang Hao was not that strong.

    "A person's circumstances may be more important than his or her ability Damn it!"

    Zhang Hao was thinking that Sprewell was finally going to go down to rest when he saw Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin coming on the court!

    "What the hell is this magical backcourt? This outside rotation can actually achieve a record of 18 wins and 25 losses? Even if it's not suitable, don't you know about the trade Oh, by the way, Webber can be used in exchange for Gugliotta, and it's still half  After a season, Gugliotta was replaced by Marshall, and finally Marshall was turned into the team of Big Fat Miller

    It seems that there is nothing wrong with this record"

    Del Harris also has a headache. The most troublesome thing about playing the Warriors is the Warriors.Attack, it's not easy to fight, Zhang Hao has no chance. Regarding the positional battle, Oliver Miller was on the court during the second half of the first quarter. The 140-kilogram insider was standing there like a wall of flesh, forever.  Being between Zhang Hao and the basket, he would rather give the Lakers another opportunity to catch the ball and play high inside.

    The key is that Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and Donyel Marshall cannot play at the same time tonight, otherwise the defense will completely collapse. Zhang Hao and Donyel Marshall will partner in the paint, and rebounding will not be guaranteed.

    Sometimes rebounding ability cannot be judged solely by ability values ??or statistics. For example, Campbell is not a high rebounder, but he has a thick body and is good at blocking. When he is on the court, the Lakers often win in rebounding.

    ??Oliver Miller also has this trait, gifted mobility and super tonnage.

    When Zhang Hao and Jason Williams partnered together, the Lakers' scoring efficiency could not be high. Jason Williams could not open the shot. Oliver Miller was still very weak when catching the ball at close range without defending for three seconds.  useful.

    So, Del Harris is at a loss

    Sprewell had 14 points and 6 assists, Tim Hardaway had 12 points and 3 assists, Chris Mullin had 9 points and 1 assistthese three all scored 35 points and 10 assists, and there were more than three people passing out.  Scores of other players.

    At this time, Del Harris saw Zhang Hao sitting next to him.

    Zhang Hao is not worried at all about whether he will get into trouble or not, and where to sit and do. Everyone else is busy doing things that they don¡¯t even know, waiting for the coach to call for tactical adjustments.

    Del Harris had a sudden idea and asked in a low voice: "How do you think we should adjust in the second half?"

    Zhang Hao responded without even tilting his head: "There is nothing to adjust. Our tactics are right, our defense is right, our offensive coordination is right, everything is right, it's just that they are accurate in singles."

    ¡°We have won 16 consecutive games!¡±

    "What can we do? It's impossible to keep winningand we haven't lost yet, right? Their three star players on the outside played so well, and we were only 7 points behind. If they can always perform so well, they  Only 18 wins?¡±

    Del Harris thinks it really makes sense!  Although the truth doesn't seem to make sense, Zhang Hao's calm look makes it feel reasonable.

    Watching Zhang Hao go to the bathroom after finishing speaking

    Del Harris suddenly woke up!

    "This damn kid is actually calmer than me, the head coach! So didn't I look like a fool for being so anxious just now? And there are people comparing me to him! Sure enough, he and I don't get along at all!"

    On the other side, Zhang Hao went to the bathroom and saw that all the stall doors in the bathroom were open and confirmed that no one was there He found a toilet and closed the door and collapsed

    "I'm going to die, I'm going to die I'm going to fail two missions in one night"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 141 141. See the ultimate kill again!  (6000 words please subscribe)

    ¡°Calm down, that¡¯s for others to see.

    Zhang Hao was also anxious during the game, but when it came to halftime, he discovered a problem with their Lakers team - they were eager to win.

    The 16-game winning streak brings not only a brilliant light, but also a change in mentality.

    Although everyone may say "I know our strength", in fact, even Zhang does not have such a clear understanding of his team.

    But because he calms down more easily than others, after halftime of the Warriors game, he clearly felt one thing - his teammates have become arrogant!

    ¡°My teammates all felt that they should win easily against the Warriors, including the head coach, so they all became restless when they fell behind at halftime.

    Because they have been dominant in many games in the past, except for a few games, the other games have been smooth and crushing wins.

    And those few games have superstars who can find reasons to be anxious.

    We will consider the future matters later. At least in this game, what Zhang Hao needs to do is not to wake up his teammates. The time is not right.

    What he has to do now is to keep his confidence!  He uses his strong influence that he can feel to drive his teammates and calm them down.

    As far as this game is concerned, they think they should beat the Warriors. Maybe that kind of legitimate confidence is arrogance, but believing that they can win is not arrogance, because they really should have the strength to defeat the Warriors.

    As he said, the Warriors played so well, and the Lakers were only 7 points behind.

    After being paralyzed for two minutes, Zhang Hao stood up, patted his face, regained his poker face, and pressed the pump button. As if all his anxiety had been taken away, he went to the sink and washed his hands, and returned with the same indifferent expression as before.  Go to the locker room.

    By this time, Del Harris had restored his confident and wise expression, saw everyone gathered, and began to lay out tactics.

    Players such as Magic and Zhang Hao, who know the tactics well, listened to Del Harris's tactical arrangements - good guys, it was the same tactics as the first half in another way.

    The reason why I say it again is to let the players believe that their head coach has thought of a response strategy

    ¡­¡­

    Back from the halftime break, the Lakers' energy has improved a lot from top to bottom.

    Del Harris has regained his composure and wisdom, Magic has seen through everything, and Zhang Hao is as calm as ever, which boosted the confidence of his teammates.

    After the start of the third quarter, the momentum of the Warriors was still fierce. There was no sign of slackness or complacency. Instead, they played harder because they had the opportunity to defeat a team with a 16-game winning streak.

    Fortunately, the Lakers head coach is calm, the spiritual leader and the core magician of the transfer ball is calm, and Zhang Hao is calm. The Lakers players are not as impatient as they were in the second quarter. They play steadily and do whatever they should do no matter how well the opponent plays.  do what.

    Zhang Hao was consumed by Oliver Miller when he came on the field. He also recognized that the opponent played so well on the outside. He tried his best to prevent the opponent's inside attack points from opening up. At the same time, this also allowed Campbell, who can rely on his height and tonnage as an advantage on the offensive end, to play.  Better.

    Someone has to sacrifice, and tonight Campbell made it clear that it can be used as an offensive advantage. It's his turn to make other contributions, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong.

    On the offensive end, you should open up the space so that your teammates can better attack as a team. Occasionally play alone, and if you have the opportunity, just catch and shoot

    Zhang Hao has always believed in his teammates.

    Slowly, my teammates also reciprocated!

    In the third quarter, both teams scored 30+ points fiercely!

    The Warriors¡¯ perimeter stars continued their outstanding performance tonight. Under the leadership of Sprewell and Tim Hardaway, the Warriors scored 31 points in a single quarter.

    But the Lakers scored 34 points in a single quarter!

    After three quarters, the Lakers chased the score to 85-89, only 4 points away!

    The score difference narrowed to 4 points entering the fourth quarter. It was completely different from the feeling when the score difference was more than 5 points. It seemed that it was just a matter of one goal, but sometimes the game can be decided by one goal. Sometimes it is because of less  One goal was scored, but two goals were needed at the critical moment to solve the problem.

    Zhang Hao played for 9 minutes in the third quarter. He scored two points by counterattack, two points by catching the ball and making a mid-range shot. He scored 1 of 2 free throws while rushing. He scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. His performance was still acceptable.  .

    He played for 9 consecutive minutes, forcing the Warriors to put Oliver Miller on the court and giving Campbell plenty of rest time. Campbell came on the court in the last three minutes of the third quarter and scored 7 points.When he came back, Zhang Hao took his fourth step, turning over and preparing for a jump shot

    "The king of turn-over jump shots (gold) is triggered. Zhang Hao's turn-over jump shot has power +5 and bounce +5"

    It failed to trigger the 33% probability of saving the impact of the shooting caused by turning over, but that is not important anymore!

    After Zhang Hao knocked back Joe Smith, he turned over and jumped up high. Van Exel jumped up and tried to block the shot, but Van Exel jumped into the air. When he turned his head in the air, he saw that Zhang Hao was jumping faster than him, a striker.  The swingman is even taller!  His feet were even higher off the ground, and he was shooting from close range as if he were leaning against a wall

    And, that guy closed his eyes and smiled after throwing it out!

    At this moment, everyone couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Hao. It was so rare to see Zhang Hao's expression change during the game.

    At this time, the long whistle sounded to end the game. Sprewell landed on the ground, Joe Smith stood firm after being knocked back and others turned to look at the basket at the same time A basketball fell into the frame!

    The referee confirmed that the goal is valid!

    121 to 120, the Lakers defeated the Warriors!

    When the ball fell into the basket, the players on the Warriors team were heartbroken After fighting for a whole game and leading for a whole game, this is the result!

    And the Lakers bench is boiling!  The Lakers players in the court and on the bench all ran towards Zhang Hao and then celebrated next to Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao, who almost lost his footing after landing, looked at his teammates "You can just celebrate and forget about me, the killer, but help me"

    At the critical moment, the magician, who was pinned down by Zhang Hao on the bench, came to Zhang Hao¡¯s side and said: "Akers, good job"

    As he spoke, he patted Zhang Hao's shoulder hard, almost knocking Zhang Hao to the ground.

    It was then that the magician realized that Zhang Hao was really tired. He had made such a brave kill just now a big-time player!

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t have the energy to reply. He rolled his eyes at the magician and turned to walk towards the player tunnel. He didn¡¯t want to accept the post-game interview anymore. He just wanted to take a quick shower and have physical therapy. He had something to talk about during the interview and physical therapy.

    At this time, the referee confirmed the final score to the technical table. The Lakers won 121 to 120!

    Zhang Hao, who just walked into the player tunnel, received a task prompt!

    ¡°The number one scholar?:

    Goal: In this game, Zhang Hao's five statistics of scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks must be higher than Joe Smith.  (Zhang Hao made 9 of 19 shots, including 0 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, and scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block; Joe Smith made 7 of 13 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 18  Points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Completed)

    The total value of Zhang Hao's five data is 47, and the total value of Joe Smith's five data is 29, the difference is 18.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the 36-day lifespan reward.  "

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao helped the Lakers defeat the Warriors as a main player. Congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 5 days of life bonus."

    "This is my stage:

    Goal 1: In the next game, if Zhang Hao encounters a rookie with a higher pick in the same class, he must score higher than his opponent, and he must help his team defeat the opponent's team.

    Target opponent: Joe Smith, the first overall pick in the 1995 class.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the 10-day lifespan reward.  "

    ¡°The remaining life is 857 days and the available life is 856 days.¡±

    "Eh! It's actually completed! Yes, I had a block today. The two times the No. 1 pick tried to block me, it was a foul I thought I was focusing on preventing Miller from blocking the shot and didn't finish it!

    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful, so beautiful¡­¡±

    Just when Zhang Hao was happy, another task prompt came.

    "Brilliant Mark 2: The Lakers of special contract player Zhang Hao have won 17 consecutive games, tying the 17-game winning streak of Michael Jordan's Bulls as the longest winning streak in the NBA regular season this season.  Moment."

    "Hiss

    The bull is coming!  "

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao defeated the Warriors, and the Lakers won 17 consecutive victories, tying the Bulls' longest winning streak of the season set a few days ago!

    With four kills in half a season, Zhang Hao's cold face has now become proof of his big heart.

    Today¡¯s Lakers game once again exposed the problem of Zhang Hao¡¯s single offensive technique, but he won!  Killer!  The media mentions his single skill, and at most they can only say "what if he has more offensive methods in the future."

    After the game, Joe Smith was forced to accept an interview and was asked what Zhang Hao said to him in the end. Although Joe Smith was depressed, he was also confused about what Zhang Hao meant, so he said it.

    So, Sports Illustrated gave a very straightforward title - "X, God's Gift to Los Angeles."

    Because the Bible says - God said let there be light, and there was light.

    When Zhang Hao saw this title, he could only sigh, "Ignorant mortal."

    In the boring middle of the season, during the All-Star starting voting period, Zhang Hao's popularity continued, driving more fans to various voting locations to vote.

    Now more and more people want to see another rookie All-Star vote winner appear!

    After 17 consecutive victories, the media and fans naturally look forward to whether the Lakers can continue to win.

    By coincidence, the Lakers¡¯ next opponent is the Bulls.

    Can the Bulls keep their winning streak from being surpassed?  Or will the Lakers win 18 consecutive games in one fell swoop?

    After playing the game against the Warriors, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles for a night's rest. On January 31, the Bulls came to Los Angeles.

    The Lakers with 35 wins and 8 losses and the Bulls with 38 wins and 6 losses are about to face off.

    No one expected that after entering February, these two teams would be competing for first place in the league!

    At first, Lakers fans didn¡¯t react when they saw the news headline ¡°Competing for the first place in the league.¡± When did they reach the point where they could compete with the Bulls for the first place in the league?

    ??Look carefully, isn¡¯t it? The record gap between the two teams is only 2.5 wins!

    The Sonics, second in the Western Conference, and Magic, second in the Eastern Conference, both have a record of 34 wins and 10 losses.?All-Star starting guard!

    The first one to be announced will definitely be the player with the lowest number of votes among the players selected as the starter for the Western Conference All-Stars, but if you get in, you get in!

    "Hahahaha people who can't beat the All-Stars, I invited them to go to Miami for vacation during the All-Star weekend. I just bought a yacht and let you use it for the first time. I won't go. I want to participate in the All-Stars."  weekend¡­¡­"

    "The boss is awesome!"

    ¡°Boss, I will definitely eat at your fast food restaurant often!¡±

    ¡°Is ordering takeout in Miami reimbursed?¡±

    ""

    "Reimbursement and reimbursement"

    The magician is also very happy and ready to scatter money!

    He has not been idle in the past few years since he retired. He has opened a chain of fast food brands with a market value of almost 200 million. It is not certain who is richer, the owner of the Lakers or him.

    Next, it¡¯s Zhang Hao¡¯s vote

    The second announced name is Drexler, also a Western Conference guard, with 1.38 million votes.

    Zhang Hao's name hasn't come out yet, so his teammates are not surprised. Zhang Hao's votes surpassed Drexler's early. It's not surprising that he is the last name to be announced in the Western Conference, and his teammates all hope to see it last.  Only at the end can Zhang Hao's name be the vote winner!

    The third name is Olajuwon, with 1.75 million votes.

    Finally got high!

    ¡°If the Western Conference had 13.4 million votes, that would make them worried.

    On to the fourth name Charles Barkley, 1.86 million votes!

    Really high number of votes!  The number of votes is almost the same as that of O'Neal!

    ¡°200¡­200¡­200¡­¡±

    The rest room started shouting "2 million" in unison. This kind of thing never means that people who don't have a chance don't care.

    Who wouldn¡¯t care?

    Having an All-Star vote winner on your own team is just like "What's wrong with my friend?" It's great bragging rights in your spare time!

    This also shows the team atmosphere of the Lakers.

    Zhang Hao also stared at the screen. At this moment, he could not maintain his composure!

    The host on the American cable TV station pretended to analyze who might get the most votes in the Western Conference. After analyzing the probabilities and predicting the final votes, he finally got the prize!

    "zhang-hao, 2.18 million votes, the first vote in the Western Conference in the 1996 San Antonio All-Star Weekend starting vote! The first vote in the league!"

 Chapter 143 143. I¡¯m not waiting for anyone (5000 words please subscribe)

    The vote king!  Just as Zhang Hao was about to scream with excitement, the task prompt came.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao was selected into the starting lineup for the 1996 San Antonio All-Star Weekend. Votes ranked: 1st. Achievement: Breaking the NBA All-Star Weekend starting vote record for the highest number of votes.

    Mission: The Rookie Who Breaks the Sky has been completed.

    Congratulations to the host for the highest reward: 1 silver draw.

    Because Zhang Hao won the vote and was 200,000 votes higher than the second place, congratulations to the host for gaining a life span of 20 days.

    The remaining life is 865 days and the usable life is 866 days.  "

    The rewards were not as high as expected, but they were not bad either. Zhang Hao curiously asked in his mind how the rewards were divided.

    "The minimum reward for this task is to be selected as an All-Star starter. It will reward you with one bronze lottery opportunity. If you get the first vote in a single position, you will be rewarded with a silver lottery opportunity. If you get the first vote in the division, you will be rewarded with one bronze lottery. If you win the league vote leader, you will be rewarded with silver.  The number of draws is 1 and you will receive an additional lifespan bonus."

    "Sure enough, although the All-Star vote leader looks awesome, it is not an award that can be regarded as an achievement. It is also just an All-Star ring. The more All-Star starts, it can represent its status in the hearts of the fans.  It can also reflect his strength from the side, but once in a while, an All-Star start means nothingThe vote winner is still worth being happy about."

    After this series of changes in his thoughts, Zhang Hao changed from excitement to a little happy.

    The change of mind came quickly. After the teammates cheered, they wanted to see Zhang Hao's reaction. What they saw was Zhang Hao pouting, smiling and shaking his shoulders.

    There is a little bit of contentment and happiness.

    Just a little happy?

    no!

    The teammates really can¡¯t stand it anymore!

    This pretender doesn¡¯t deserve a beating!  The magician takes the lead!

    Zhang Hao was feeling a little happy about winning the All-Star vote when he was suddenly surrounded.

    "What are you going to do?"

    I could hear Zhang Hao¡¯s voice trembling a littleyou know you¡¯re scared!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Everyone knows the importance of Zhang Hao to their team, or in other words, if they want to win now, they rely on good form, a suitable lineup, and good coordination

    So Jason Williams had an idea and took the lead

    "Hahahaha Stop scratching, hahahaha I'm going to die, I'm going to die Wufufufuhuhu Squeeze Oh no Ah Hahaha Uh-huh-huh Kimo  chicken¡­¡­"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    That rookie is the real vote-winner!

    ??And he is playing as a forward, and Barkley is very popular

    Malone was not selected as an All-Star starter again!

    I think back then, when he was selected as a starter for the first time in the All-Star Game in his third grade, he was selected for two consecutive years. As a result, in 1990, due to the Lakers' record of 39 wins and 8 losses in the first half of the season, the Lakers' two major forwards, James Worthy and  Ac-Green was also selected as the All-Star starter. Malone was not selected as the All-Star starter. He directly complained and did not participate in the All-Star weekend. The reason was that Ac-Green was not worthy of being an All-Star starter and only averaged 12 points and 8 rebounds per game.

    This forced the NBA to add a rule - if players selected for the All-Star Game do not participate in the game, they must be "suspended due to injury" for at least one game after the All-Star Weekend.

    Later, he was selected as the All-Star starter for four consecutive years. Last season, he was squeezed out of the All-Star starter by Kemp, a new power forward with top popularity and strength. This year, he finally got a rebound in votes, but was outranked by Zhang Hao again.  Damn it!

    The key is the number of votes

    For Western Conference forwards, Zhang Hao had 2.18 million votes, Barkley had 1.86 million votes, and Malone, who was third, had only 690,000 votesKemp, who was fourth, had 680,000 votes.

    Although he is third, compared to the 1.28 million votes of Jason Kidd, who is third in the Western Conference guard, Malone's votes are simply inferior!

    Not only that, in terms of scoring, Zhang Hao has gradually secured his third place in the scoring list!  The Lakers have played 45 games, Zhang Hao has played 13 games with the Nets, and 30 games with the Lakers, scoring a total of 1,131 points, averaging 26.3 points per game, which is more than 1 point higher than Malone's average of 25.2 points per game!

    The only players ranked ahead of Zhang Hao were Jordan, who averaged 31 points per game, and Olajuwon, who averaged 27.3 points per game.

    And looking at this trend, Zhang Hao¡¯s score is about to stabilize again

    ?????????????????????? Why is it that even though he is not a good person, that rookie can get the nickname "gentleman", while he, Malone, is a "postman"?  Or are they nicknames like "executioner" or "murderer"?

    "Just because he looks good?"

    Ma Long originally didn¡¯t have any likes or dislikes about good looks or bad looks.The game is coming!  vs. the Jazz at home!

    At 7:10 pm, Zhang Hao entered the stadium with his teammates.

    Before the game started, as the All-Star Weekend was coming, reporters from t.n.t TV station, which was live broadcasting the half-time curtain call between the Lakers and Jazz, obtained pre-game interview permission.

    "Zhang, it is said that you chose to withdraw from this year's rookie competition. Can you tell me your reasons? Don't you hope to play against more players of the same generation?"

    Very aggressive tone

    t.n.t has always disliked the stars of their Lakers team. Zhang Hao also felt it after joining the Lakers. He didn't find it strange and responded: "There are too many games in the NBA. I am still a rookie and I am not used to it. Such a schedule is not good for me.  Said it was a burden and I needed to rest.¡±

    This gentleman is telling lies!

    By the middle of the season, the playing time of other main players of the Lakers is tending to be evened out, that is, the playing time of those who played more in the early stage is decreasing, and the playing time of those who played less early is increasing, or the playing time of the new players is gradually increasing, just like Zhang Hao, come on.  It's early, the first game in December is here, and I have more playing time in January than in December!

    ???????? And every game is full of energy, back-to-back games can¡¯t be seen to be affected at all, and we have fought to the end in 4 games in 5 days.

    After sending the reporters away, Zhang Hao felt a little regretful. Only rookies could participate in the rookie game this year, not a first-year or second-year melee, but he thought of himself and Garnett as the starting guards

    Looking at the remaining 883 days of lifespan, Zhang Hao felt that quitting the rookie game was the wisest choice. Getting 15 days of lifespan first was much better than playing a game that was almost impossible to win.

    Putting away his cluttered thoughts, Zhang Hao looked at Ma Long, who was moving his terrifying iron elbows on the opposite side He wanted to win tonight's game!

    Although there is no task trigger Losing only 9 games in the middle of the season has happened many times in NBA history, and it is not anything special.

    But in his rookie season, it was the first time he had the opportunity to lose less than 10 games in the middle of the season. This kind of thing might not be possible even if O'Neal came. After all, O'Neal was not a regular season player and was too lazy to die. Zhang Hao wanted to seize the opportunity!

    A simple desire to win is like playing basketball. When you have money, what you want to pursue is of course honors. Big honors cannot be obtained in one or two games, but the small achievements you are looking forward to in your heart are completed, and they will still be the same.  Very happy.

    It¡¯s just like when playing LoL, you feel happy for a while when you grab a big dragon.

    Currently, the Lakers have 37 wins and 9 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference, and the Jazz have 30 wins and 14 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference. It is not impossible for them to play against each other in the second round of the playoffs. It is possible that they will end up in the Western Conference.  With this ranking, it is possible that the Lakers will eventually fall to second or third place, and the Jazz will also rush to second or third place.

    ?Then the outcome of the regular season match will inevitably affect the psychological advantages and disadvantages of the playoff match.

    On this point, Del Harris and Zhang Hao¡¯s teammates have the same idea as Zhang Hao.

    The opponents on the opposite side, other Jazz players, and the coaching staff also know it very well.

    However, at this time, Ma Long, who was showing off his arms on the other side, looked at his huge biceps, and then looked at Zhang Hao, who was as thin as a bamboo pole opposite - "Whose elbow is stronger than me?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 144 144. The competition is always unexpected (5000 words please subscribe)

    "Use Silver to Draw"

    As he was about to play, Zhang Hao thought that he had something he wanted to try. Yesterday's game was not suitable. Let's give it a try today.

    "The host uses the lottery during the game of the specially contracted player Zhang Hao. You can choose to bind the player Zhang Hao to the lottery for this game. The lottery props can only be used in this game. You may be able to draw props that can have an immediate impact on the game. Do you want to bind the lottery?  "

    "Farewell for now"

    "it is as expected!"

    Before, Zhang Hao had thought about whether it would be different if he drew a lottery during the game. But at that time, he urgently needed to improve his strength immediately, so he drew immediately after receiving the number of draws.

    Now, it's not that he is satisfied with his abilities, but that he already has enough things that need to be trained and strengthened, and the probability of getting a medal is also understood. In the silver lottery, there is only a 5% probability of getting a medal.  So I boarded it patiently.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:

    Of course, he didn't feel bad about not drawing in the competition before. In the previous draws, he needed more rewards that could last longer. The same is true now, but he can take it easy for the time being, not so much.  Worry, after all, there is only one game before the All-Star Weekend.

    Naturally, he won¡¯t smoke immediately now. The words ¡°maybe¡± in the subtitle description make him feel that there are many problems

    ?The game is played first, and it doesn¡¯t necessarily have to be drawn, it¡¯s just a regular season game.

    The game is about to start, and the referee notifies the two teams to start preparing to play.

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Van Exel, Anthony Pillar, Zhang Hao, Magic, and Campbell.

    The Jazz sent Stockton, Hornacek, David Benoit, Malone, and Felton Spencer.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After playing it, I really got used to it. For example, on a jump ball, Zhang Hao came to the center circle.

    On the opposite side, Spencer, who had no other merits except being strong, was very melancholy.

    At this time, Zhang Hao felt someone staring at him from the opposite side It was Ma Long!

    "Why does he seem hungrier than the last time he looked at me?"

    Zhang Hao would have never imagined that the Imperial TV station would actually broadcast the interview in which he said he wanted to compete with Ma Long.

    Of course, Chaotingtai was just joking about Zhang Hao, but it was actually forwarded by the American media

    This topic, whether it is a joke or not, is very interesting to the media.

    But in Ma Long¡¯s view, this is not interesting, but provocative!

    The iron elbow is Malone¡¯s pride!

    Ma Long, who had been staring at Zhang Hao, saw Zhang Hao looking at him, and immediately raised his arms and bulged his biceps

    "Show, show, show, show off all day long!"

    Zhang Hao didn't even move his eyes, and turned his head expressionlessly, usually in front of him, ready to jump the ball.

    Ma Long is furious!  Except for a few insiders such as Bird and Mourning, who dares to ignore his handsome muscles like this?

    Soon, the game started. Zhang Hao won the right to attack first for the Lakers. Although he did not play a fast break and was blocked by Malone and David Benoit, Van Exel came over and hit a three-pointer!

    After the game started, both teams were in surprisingly good shape. They were so good that they were thinking about how to shoot better and find ways to defend each other. The "iron elbow battle" that Lakers fans were worried about did not happen. The two teams shot too much.  That's right, Zhang Hao and Ma Long didn't have time to care about that.

    The Lakers took the initiative in the first quarter!

    It wasn¡¯t the advantage they had like the last time they played against Shuangsha, whose shooting was breathtaking. That time, the Lakers had not yet entered the stage of explosive form. It was purely because the Jazz played too poorly that the Lakers won easily.

    This time, Malone made 4 of 4 shots and 3 of 3 free throws in the first quarter. He played 10 minutes in a single quarter and easily scored 11 points and 3 assists. When he was on the court, the Jazz scored 28 points.

    After Malone went off, the Jazz scored very steadily, ending the first quarter with 34 points.

    However, the Lakers played better offensively in the first quarter!

    Van Exel scored 9 points and 2 assists from 3 three-pointers in a single quarter. He felt extremely hot and played very hard and wastefully When the Magic made two three-pointers from outside the three-point line, he asked the opponent's defense.  How to prevent it?

    The middle distance is Zhang Hao¡¯s playground!

    In the first two games, David Benoit was the one who did the best job of guarding Zhang Hao on the Jazz, but Malone needed to help defend him. But this time Malone was pulled outside the three-point line by the Magic. Zhang Hao scored 3 points in the first quarter.  He made 3 of 3 shots and 5 of 6 free throws. David Benoit committed two fouls in a single quarter, and Zhang Hao also cut to the basket, causing Ouyang to come off the bench.I have money for the game tickets. I hope you can buy them for me. I can¡¯t buy them. I hope the seat can be as far forward as possible. I want to watch the game up close.  "

    Zhang Hao really wanted to ask, "Why don't you ask your dad for help" But thinking about it carefully, Kobe's dad was just a role player when he was in the NBA. It is impossible to say how well-connected he is. At most, he is better than the ball dad.  , otherwise he wouldn¡¯t go on TV every day and talk nonsense to gain popularity for his son.

    The difference is that Kobe will realize all the things his father boasted about in the future.

    At this moment, Zhang Hao thought of his extra package ticket

    "Kobe."

    "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"

    "No, I can invite you to watch the game."

    "No, I can afford the ticket."

    "My ticket package was given by the NBA."

    ¡°¡­¡± Kobe on the other end of the phone felt so heartbroken!

    At the same time, I felt that this guy couldn¡¯t be so kind as to give him a free ticket, otherwise I would just say that I would give him a ticket instead of asking him to watch the game.

    "What conditions do you have?"

    Hearing the voice on the phone, Zhang Hao felt that the little blacksmith was really on the right track!

    "It's very simple, just call me brotherHey, why did you die!"

    Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing, it was so fun to tease the little blacksmith!

    I laughed for a while, and sure enough, the call came again.

    "I don't want you to give it away for free, sell me your package of tickets!"

    "How can I do such a thing as a ticket seller? Call me brother Hey, hey, don't hang up, okay, okay, look at you, I'm anxious again, I'll give you the tickets, brother, I will stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in the southern city starting tonight.  "

    After saying that, Zhang Hao immediately hung up the phone, not giving the other party a chance to get angry.

    I haven¡¯t contacted Kobe for a long time. I feel refreshed when I contact him once in a while!

    ¡­¡­

    At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Zhang Hao, April Clark, Pierce¡¯s mother, and Britney arrived at the airport.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s attention-grabbing gestures from time to time satisfied the three women of all ages.

    Pierce¡¯s mother feels that she is the leader in fashion. She dressed up carefully today just to attract attention when walking on the street or sitting on the sidelines of the court.

    April Clark and Britney simply dressed up for Zhang Hao.

    only¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao has long known about Pierce's mother's aesthetics, leopard print + big gold chain, bulingbuling. Even if Zhang Hao knew about it, he couldn't help but take a second look.

    ¡°But April Clark¡­ why is she dressed like she was in high school today?

    And Britney, today she put on a lot of makeup

    No matter which one they were dressed in, Zhang Hao couldn't understand it, but he didn't dare to ask.

    He felt that no matter who he asked why he was dressed like this, he would be miserable.

    After boarding the Lakers owner¡¯s private plane, Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes instantly lit up when he saw Jenny Buss, the team¡¯s eldest lady, who was responsible for taking them to San Antonio¡­

    Pierce¡¯s mother was so proud to see a little boy staring at her!  I feel like I am the most popular person on the plane.

    The magician introduced his two sons, Andre and Erwin III.

    Earvin Johnson III This name brings great expectations when he hears it. During the chat, the Magic revealed that his second son looked exactly like him when he was born.

    "The magician who co-wrote it was originally named Johnson II?"

    Zhang Hao does not have colored glasses towards little ejaculation.

    This thing about orientationit's not about you, it's just about your own preferences.

    Not long after the plane took off, April Clark, who had been messing around in Zhang Hao¡¯s room for a long time last night, found a seat and fell asleep.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t even know what was stuffed in his big box, it was so heavy.

    ¡°While April Clark was asleep and Pierce¡¯s mother was chatting animatedly with Jenny Bass¡¯s superb speaking skills, Britney slipped next to Zhang Hao who was alone.

    Except for talking to Zhang Hao when they first met and chatting, the magician family did not disturb Zhang Hao after that.

    Zhang Hao has almost finished writing the summary in the morning, and is now analyzing the aspects that he should strengthen and improve, the importance of the order of strengthening, etc When he saw a big loli sitting next to him, he put away his small notebook  , patted Britney's head and asked: "What's the matter?"

    Britney said angrily: "Brother, I was cheated!"

    Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and his tone became faster unconsciously: "What's wrong? Who lied to you? You didn't get hurt, did you?"

    "" This reaction made Britney speechless, her face turned red, and she whispered: "What are you thinking! Berkeley lied to me!"

    "?"

    ¡°Berkeley, California is not for music studies!¡±

    "What's the meaning?"

    "I thought that Berkeley majored in music, so I didn't go to Boston. I wanted to be in California and be closer to my brother. But when I went to Berkeley, I realized that although there is an art major here in Berkeley, it's for opera, which I can't do."

    Both of them were silent. Zhang Hao looked at this extremely beautiful little sister. How did her head grow?  Can this be the wrong choice?

    "What should we do?" Zhang Hao didn't know how to deal with this matter. Then Berkeley is considered a university, right?  How to change schools?

    "I don't know. Brother, please help me find a way. I'm afraid of being scolded by my mother."

    ""

    ""

    There was another moment of silence.

    Zhang Hao was speechless. He didn't think too much about Britney at all. He just thought she was a big star in the future and just good-looking. He didn't think about interfering with her at all. So in this rather sudden situation, he suddenly  In addition to being speechless, I was also a little annoyed. What if it affected someone's future?

    It seems that the other party chose a campus that was close to him because he knew someone in Los Angeles.

    But I always feel like there¡¯s something weird about it, and I can¡¯t place it.

    Britney was a little nervous when she saw Zhang Hao frowning

    Zhang Hao had a vague impression that Britney became popular before the beginning of the 21st century.

    After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao said: "How about you make your debut directly, a young beautiful girl singer."

    "A company wanted to sign me before, but I refused. I want to study for two more years" Britney means it sincerely.

    Studyingthat's right, studying is very important.

    But when Zhang Hao thought about this, he came up with some ideas and said, "I can open a company, and you can participate in a music competition show for fun? As for studying, I'm not familiar with Berkeley, but I went to the School of Music at the University of Southern California.  It seems pretty good, I can help you contact"

    Speaking of this, Zhang Hao smiled deliberately: "How about it, Britney, do you want to help me work?"

    At this time, Britney showed an expression of astonishment and surprise, pondered for a while, and then nodded quickly: "Brother, you must help me!"

    "When I get to San Antonio, I'll try to contact the principal first and settle the enrollment matters first"

    Zhang Hao actually just said this about working part-time. If you can succeed, don't affect your future if you can't.

    Britney looked at Zhang Hao who was very serious when it was time to do something, with a little fox-like smile on his sweet face.

    She felt Zhang Hao's sincerity, and she guessed that Zhang Hao wouldn't think so much at allNot deliberately trying to please, but taking the initiative to do things that are physically and mentally pleasurable.

    For example, teasing snakes

    But sometimes when teasing a snake, you can¡¯t tease it forcefully. You have to adjust your strategy based on the previous situation.

    Today, Zhang Hao received a call from Kobe. After he came to the hotel restaurant and gave the package to Kobe, he sat across from Kobe with an indifferent face and said nothing.

    The rookie game doesn¡¯t start until 8pm, so just go to the arena at 7pm, it¡¯s still early.

    Kobe didn¡¯t say anything, and the two of them sat there for a long time. The waiter came to refill their glasses several times. If he hadn¡¯t known who Zhang Hao was, he would have thought they were crazy.

    Finally, Kobe couldn't help it anymore and asked first: "Akers, how does it feel to play in the NBA?"

    "Fortunately, it wasn't as smooth as expected, but it was okay. I won the All-Star vote."

    +1 for Kobe¡¯s urge to hit others

    Hold it!

    There are still things to ask!

    After Kobe took a deep breath, he continued to ask: "Do you think it is the right decision for high school students to directly enter the NBA?"

    ¡°I don¡¯t know about other high school students, but for me, it¡¯s probably the same wherever I go.¡±

    +1 for Kobe¡¯s urge to hit someone!  But when he thought about the fact that Kemp averaged 6+5 per game as a high school rookie at the beginning, and that Garnett, a super high school student who he personally experienced how powerful he was, was so bumpy after entering the NBA he felt that this guy in front of him was a bug!

    In the past few months, he felt that he had made rapid progress and was much better than he was nine months ago. However, compared with Zhang Hao's terrifying progress in the NBA, he felt frustrated.

    He himself feels that he should be compared to Garnett more, but as a father of a former NBA player, he knows that Garnett may not improve as fast as he did in college in his first year in the NBA.

    Kobe gritted his teeth and continued to ask: "Have you ever thought about playing college basketball?"

    "I thought about it, but they didn't want to give me a full basketball scholarship at first. I got angry and didn't go, but now I regret it. I heard that college basketball players love basketball more purely."

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s purely because the money was made for the NCAA¡±

    This time, Kobe didn¡¯t want to hit anyone more, but instead complained.

    It¡¯s quite clear!  Zhang Hao found that Kobe¡¯s brain was indeed very different from that of most black teenagers.

    But this was not the time for admiration. Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and responded: "Yes, I just thought about why I let them make money in vain. Although I entered the NBA a little early, my skills are not mature enough and my strength is not strong yet.  But you can also earn 10 million yuan a year. Going to college is equivalent to giving away to the NCAA for nothing Hey, why are you leaving! I haven't finished speaking yet

    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s so awkward to be a high school student. I¡¯m not a high school student anymore, I¡¯m a college student!  A college student who has been studying for a few days!  "

    Zhang Hao decisively changed his own settings in his mind. At this moment, he was a college student at the University of Southern California.

    After paying the bill, Zhang Hao returned to the room and remembered that Kobe seemed to have just won the Pennsylvania high school league championship last month and should be preparing to participate in the draft.

    "Kobe came to me and asked me this. He was probably preparing to enter the NBA. He wanted to ask me whether he should skip college and enter the NBA?

    My answer seems to be that he should skip college. Will he be selected by us next season?

    If you are not selected by us, where will you go?

    But he didn¡¯t ask me as if he wanted to confirm that he wanted to enter the NBA

    ??Anything is fine. If he is selected by us, what size will he wear?  Why don't I go and tell Jenny that I want to change the number to 24 in the future?  "

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 146 146. I want to challenge him!  (7K please subscribe)

    Last season, there was also a rookie All-Star vote leader named Grant Hill.

    ?Similarly, Grant Hill also chose to withdraw from the rookie game after winning the All-Star starter. His reason was that he did not want to take away the opportunity for fellow rookies to express themselves.

    So it was easy to accept Zhang Hao¡¯s withdrawal from the rookie competition this year.

    After all, the rookie season was only a new event in 1994. Before the 1994 All-Star Game, the game on Friday during the All-Star Weekend was the Masters Game, where retired players + athletes from other industries + entertainers who were good at basketball played together.  Son.

    However, although Grant Hill did not participate in the Rookie Competition last year, nor did he participate in the Slam Dunk Contest or the Three-Point Contest, the news about Grant Hill has not stopped since the first day of the All-Star break.

    From him taking the Pistons owner's private plane to Phoenix, to several consecutive days of business activities, charity promotions, and university speeches, there was constant news. Although he did not participate in the rookie game and the comprehensive game, he was at the scene and was still there before the game.  Chatting and laughing with the rookies of the same class, the stars watching the game, and the stars participating in the comprehensive competition, it was a great show.

    ¡°As for Zhang Hao, apart from taking the Lakers owner¡¯s private jet to San Antonio and participating in a one-day promotional event, he was nowhere to be seen

    Fans couldn't find any news about him when watching TV or reading newspapers. They thought he had been banned. But on the comprehensive game day, the TV station's specially planned All-Star Weekend host  People complained that their reporter did not get permission to interview Zhang Hao for two days and did not take any photos about Zhang Hao.

    Some newspapers were surprised to find something related to Zhang Hao in the evening newspaper on the day of the comprehensive competition on February 10th - we want to offer a reward for Aix. Is he missing?

    In this basketball event where every athlete is vying to show up, and many actors, singers, celebrities, and even officials want to be in the camera, even though there is no news related to Zhang Hao in just two days, it still makes many people  Surprised.

    This is All-Star Weekend!

    When sports reporters from all over the world gathered in San Antonio, the much-anticipated All-Star vote winner was nowhere to be seen!

    Actually, this is also very simple. On the first day, go to the scenic spots where there are many people but few athletes go back to visit at this time.

    At this time, many athletes are eager to get in front of the cameras in the arena where the All-Star Weekend is held.

    The next day, someone who remembered seeing Zhang Hao at the scenic spot yesterday passed the news to the media, but in the end he was regarded as a liar, because not everyone has the ability to take photos these days.

    Today, Zhang Hao and a young blacksmith who wanted to tell the world his name spent a day in the training hall Zhang Hao rented.

    Indoor cinema, karaoke room, game roomthe arena with everything you need is almost equal to an entertainment club.

    ¡°Akers, you¡¯re not going to watch the dunk contest tonight?¡±

    "If there's anything good to see, you and I might as well buckle it."

    "What you said makes sense!" Kobe's little tail almost turned up.

    But Kobe held the ticket package that he had never used once: "Then what do I do with this ticket? I came here specifically to watch the All-Star Weekend game."

    "Tomorrow you can see the All-Star vote winner play."

    "Get up! Challenge!"

    "You definitely can't beat me, don't try, I'm very strong."

    "I'm talking about basketball! Basketball!"

    "Who is still 10 goals ahead?"

    "Can we compare who can score 100 goals?"

    "No!" Zhang Hao didn't want to make the same mistake as Stackhouse.

    10 goals is 10 goals!  Kobe didn't believe he could win even once.

    5 minutes later, Kobe sat on the sofa helplessly.

    This time, he attacked first. After scoring, he could grab rebounds. When scoring, he would switch offense and defense. He scored the first 9 goals, but the 10th goal was blocked when he rushed in The main reason was that on the 9th goal, he shot the ball on his neck.  Fortunately, it bounced far. He grabbed the ball himself and rushed in for a sneak layup. He didn't dare to shoot the 10th ball.

    And that guy sat down and played every time, forcing him to hit the basket for a layup!

    ??It¡¯s true that he was a scumbag, but Kobe also saw Zhang Hao¡¯s super strength.

    After being paralyzed for a while, Kobe stood up: "Train! Practice mid-range shots!"

    Since you can¡¯t beat it, then practice!

    After moving his body again, Kobe suddenly thought of something and said: "You practice other things! You are not allowed to practice mid-range shots!"

    ¡­¡­

    After deciding to spend this All-Star Weekend happily, Zhang Hao thought about how to be happy.Established superstars - we will eventually replace them!

    After the Western Conference All-Stars came up with such an idea, the psychological feeling was strengthened, and Zhang Hao also received the reminder.

    "The passive effect of Homecoming (Silver) is triggered, and teammates' recognition of Zhang Hao's high-spirited fighting spirit is enhanced, and the negative emotions towards Zhang Hao due to the past are reduced"

    "UhI just want to play a game"

    ¡­¡­

    At 7:58, amid the indiscriminate cheers of the fans in the audience, the starting lineups of the two teams were about to take the field, and the starting lineups were shown on the big screen.

    The Eastern team¡¯s starting lineup is Anfernee Hardaway, Jordan, Pippen, Grant Hill, and O¡¯Neal.

    The starting lineup of the Western Team is Magic, Drexler, Zhang Hao, Barkley, and Olajuwon.

    Zhang Hao discovered at this time that all the protagonists of the finals in the past five years, except Ewing, were in this starting lineup!

    Magic vs. Jordan in 1991, Drexler vs. Jordan in 1992, Barkley vs. Jordan in 1993, Olajuwon in 1994, Anfernee Hardaway and O'Neal vs. Olaju in 1995  prosperous.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know which year I will be able to play in the finalsAo Pang, come to the Lakers, although it may not necessarily make you happy¡±

    After taking a look at O'Neal who couldn't be happy even playing in the All-Star Game, Zhang Hao came to the technical table to apply magnesium powder and wiped it. When he saw Jordan coming to the technical table with a straight face, he had a whim

    ??Grab a handful of magnesium powder, sprinkle it into the air, and walk onto the court without looking back!

    Jordan was just trying to show some concern for his "students", with a straight face he was thinking about how to pretend to be unconventional. He just thought of what to say and was about to open his mouth a mouthful of powder came from his mouth!

    When the fans at the scene saw Zhang Hao spreading magnesium powder, they immediately cheered loudly!

    Since they spent so much money to watch the game, most people carefully read the brochure that came with the ticket to promote the All-Star players before the game. Many of them have watched Zhang Hao's games and have a certain understanding of Zhang Hao.  Or I have some understanding. Among them, Zhang Hao sprinkled magnesium powder when facing some competitions, which impressed them deeply!

    Every time Zhang Hao spreads magnesium powder, it means something is going to happen!

    At this time, some fans discovered Jordan who was innocently choked by magnesium powder, and burst into laughter

    Jordan finally got over it, and when he came to the court, he felt his ears were burning and he was so embarrassed!

    ¡°I must teach this kid a lesson!¡±

    On the other side, Zhang Hao came to stand on the side of the midline. Olajuwon's impression of Zhang Hao became better when he saw Jordan almost choked to death by Zhang Hao's powder.

    On a whim, Olajuwon did not go to the center circle when he walked onto the court. He came to Zhang Hao and patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "Do you want to jump the ball?"

    "Ah good."

    Zhang Hao did not refuse. He came to the center circle and looked at O'Neal, who was not yet a fat man, and was eager to try.

    "Ability evaluation of 96, 132 kilograms Oh, why do you still look so thin? No, compared with Olajuwon, Ewing, and Robinson, they are already big, but they are so thin compared with the future"

    Fans have seen the huge size difference between Zhang Hao and O'Neal It's not that Zhang Hao is short, there are not many centers with his height these days, but O'Neal is too big!

    O'Neal also looked up and down at this newly acquainted All-Star voting champion. He now hates those players who became so popular in the first and second years. The younger they are, the more disgusted they are.

    But he was still full of interest in Zhang Hao.

    It is indeed a good game, there is no denying this.

    Zhang Hao clearly felt the antagonistic atmosphere between the two teams, which made him very excited.

    Soon, at 8pm, the game started.

    The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Zhang Hao immediately jumped with all his strengthlost!

    O¡¯Neal¡¯s legs felt like they were on springs!

    Although O'Neal's jumping rating is only 92, his super explosive power brings an explosive speed faster than Zhang Hao!

    Not too surprising, Zhang Hao retreated quickly and followed Pippen on the side of the midline.

    The Eastern team did not launch a fast break at the beginning. Although they could cooperate, coordination at the beginning requires tacit understanding.

    Kidd went to guard An Finney Hardaway, Magic followed Jordan, Olajuwon returned to the basket to guard O'Neal, and Barkley followed Grant Hill who was pulling away.

    At the beginning, Jordan attacked, but the Eastern team decided to do this without any discussion, letting Jordan fight Magic alone first.

    The Western Conference team is also ready to turn around and create an opportunity for Magic to face off against Jordan.

    However, Jordan did not ask for the ball to challenge Magic alone. After running into the three-point line, he gestured to Pippen. Pippen was surprised, but immediately went to cooperate with Jordan

    Zhang Hao felt very bad. Sure enough, it ended up being a match between him and Jordan!

    Jordan is one step away from the free throw line on the left side of the three-second zone, also known as the elbow area. His favorite mid-range back-up position is leaning on Zhang Hao to get the ball!

    The fans at the scene were very surprised, and the other players on the field were even more surprised!

    After Jordan received a pass from Anfernee Hardaway, Olajuwon took the initiative to let go of O'Neal and double-team him.

    At this time, Zhang Hao waved his hand back as if he had eyes behind his back: "Hakim, get out of the way, I want to fight Jordan one-on-one!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), Pippen was surprised, but immediately went to cooperate with Jordan

 Chapter 147 147. The light that cannot be concealed (5000 words please subscribe)

    This rookie is awesome!

    It¡¯s completely different when it comes to the competition.

    Olajuwon was a little dissatisfied when someone called him to get out of the way, but the mentality of watching a good show appeared faster.

    In this case, Olajuwon really took it back.

    Others also showed fun expressions.

    When Jordan heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up a little ferocious!

    Olajuwon is not angry, Jordan is angry!

    He is just a rookie. Although he is very optimistic about it, at this moment, his desire to teach Zhang Hao a lesson has gone out of control!

    Fuck him!

    Zhang Hao was about to be a little taller, just in time to see Jordan's expression becoming more ferocious, and his heart skipped a beat - "No, I'm trying to compete, but I actually want to rap"

    Although the fans were surprised that Jordan took the initiative to pick Zhang Hao to fight, they immediately cheered. Whoever Jordan picked to fight, the fans would cheer!

    Without any sudden force, Jordan turned his head and said, "I'm coming."

    Although he couldn't hear it, Zhang Hao understood the mouth movements and concentrated on defense He was knocked back half a step by Jordan!

    Jordan¡¯s post-up play is different from other outside post-up plays. He often relies on his body to grind inward like a center, creating a wider space for shooting.

    Jordan still wanted to continue to press deeper, but Zhang Hao had developed a habit. He didn't have time for the first impact. The second time, he took the initiative to raise his elbow and fought against Jordan!

    Jordan pressed back but ended up taking a step forward with his foot. He felt as if he had just hit an iron bar!

    The referee hesitated for a moment and did not blow the whistle because Jordan continued to make moves, skillfully controlling the ball and turning to face the basket.

    Others also noticed that Zhang Hao¡¯s defensive move was a bit big!

    After observing Zhang Hao from the frame, Jordan turned his back to Zhang Hao again. This time Zhang Hao responded immediately and raised his arms to secretly push Jordan when he bumped into him. The referee didn't call it just now, so he can continue to push.

    Jordan's impact came as expected Zhang Hao didn't feel the fierce force. Jordan followed the force pushed out by Zhang Hao's arm and turned over, leaping high!

    "Don't even think about it!"

    Zhang Hao hurriedly pounced on him, but even though he was about to turn 33, Jordan¡¯s jumping was still among the best in the league. To be on the safe side, he even added a back-up

    Zhang Hao failed to interfere. Jordan turned over like he was leaning on a recliner and hit a mid-range shot!

    The fans at the scene immediately screamed!

    it's beautiful!  Even Zhang Hao, his opponent, had to admit that Jordan's fadeaway jumper was so beautiful. It was like a work of art in basketball skills. His extremely strong core strength could maintain stability in such a shot.

    ? Stretched limbs and a quasi-standard shooting action with a strong sense of beauty.

    The key is to be accurate!

    Zhang Hao is not surprised that it is indeed impossible to prevent it. Since he cannot prevent it, he will not prevent it next time and give the magician a headache.

    However, the fans at the scene started to boo!

    Fans love to watch the excitement. Jordan taught the rookie a lesson and the rookie who topped the All-Star vote decisively started to boo.

    Although the fans cheered when Zhang Hao entered the stadium, they did not refuse to see the All-Star vote-leading rookie being taught a lesson.

    Like Grant Hill last season, in the eyes of many people, he just has high exposure and popularity. In the actual game, if Grant Hill occasionally has to play well against the All-Stars, he can do it, but absolutely  Not having that true All-Star consistency.

    Except for Lakers fans, in the minds of most fans, Zhang Hao is similar to Grant Hill last season. His talent is definitely recognized. No one will think that he has no talent. However, there are still not many people who truly appreciate his strength.  Seen as a true All-Star.

    Zhang Hao felt the thoughts of the fans at the scene, and he thought it was no problem.

    It takes time to change the fans' perception. Every player goes through this in the early stages of his career, not just him.

    What he has to do is to maintain his current performance and strive to perform better in the future. Recognition is earned through performance.

    but¡­¡­

    After Zhang Hao ran to the frontcourt, he was stuck by Jordan, and the magician was still directing him to go to the baseline!

    Olajuwon ran to the other side of the three-second zone, Barkley was in the mid-range on the weak side, and Drexler was on the left sideline

    "No way"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes were no longer calm. He had just been hit by Jordan, and his eyes had not changed at all. But this time, he looked at the devil with angry eyes.?Zhu Wang admired him!

    If Magic hadn¡¯t passed the ball immediately, Olajuwon wouldn¡¯t have been able to seize the opportunity to cooperate, even if the end point was his teammate Drexler.

    Because Olajuwon didn't predict that the opponent's defense would eventually move like this, but Magic did.

    ? 4 to 2, the Western team took the lead in entering the coordination state!

    In contrast, the Eastern team was obviously slow to enter a cooperative state.

    Anfernee Hardaway showed little desire to express himself during the All-Star Weekend, and Grant Hill was humble These two people are different from Zhang Hao's extremely open court style in any game. It can be said that the two of them have nothing at all.  The idea of ??competing with Jordan for the limelight.

    When the ball is open, the two of them will shoot, but more often than not, when the ball comes to them, they will not choose to break through or forcefully play, but will choose to give the ball to the player they think has a better chance.

    ?Then it¡¯s naturally Jordan¡­

    But Jordan met a rookie who had a very strong personality, a combination of toughness and softness, and was really shameless. He had promised to have a one-on-one duel with Magic on the outside, and Olajuwon for help from close range. In the end, the ball was good.  For a long time, it fell into Pippen's hands.

    But Pippen is a top-notch scorer. If you want him to score 40 points in a game, he has to kneel down for you. Of course, Pippen can shoot well, but he has always been outside the three-point line.  To shoot, you still have to fight with Magic or Drexler on the defensive endthe feel is not guaranteed!

    The Western team entered the coordination state first. With Magic's excellent control, Olajuwon's top-level support and execution, and Drexler's auxiliary control, they took the obvious initiative at the beginning.

    There are Magic, Olajuwon, and Drexler. After arriving in the Rockets, Drexler's desire to pass was greater than his desire to shoot. As he played, Zhang Hao showed another remarkable characteristic-as a  An off-ball shooter who is good at using threats from teammates to find opportunities to shoot!

    ??Two mid-range shots and one counterattack opportunity, Zhang Hao seized them all and scored 8 points in the beginning!

    After playing for more than 5 minutes, the Western team led the Eastern team by 3 points, 17-14, and had the ball in hand. During the offense, Olajuwon suddenly broke through with the ball and caused a foul on Pippen who was switching defense. Jordan could no longer bear it.  Stop, call a timeout!

    "Oh oh oh"

    When Zhang Hao returned to the bench, Barkley came up enthusiastically and extended his hand to say hello.

    What responded to Barkley was Zhang Hao¡¯s cold expression and forced high-five

    Barkley immediately complained to the senior: "Magic, your rookie really needs to be beaten!"

    The magician quite agreed with Barkley's statement and nodded heavily.

    Just when Barkley felt satisfied, he heard Magic say something: "You may not be able to beat him, he dares to challenge Malone in a duel."

    "" Barkley looked at Malone, who was getting up to play, then at Zhang Hao, and then at himself Barkley didn't even dare to challenge Malone in a one-on-one, so why should Zhang Hao?

    but!

    As far as the feeling Zhang Hao gave him, Barkley felt that the magician was telling the truth. If this guy had a conflict with Ma Long, he would definitely fight back!

    In this half of the game, Zhang Hao made his All-Star teammates feel his characteristics.

    In singles, it seemed like it was just one move back and forth. This was based on the previous impression of Zhang Hao, but he was very smart. After scoring in the first round, he did not insist on continuing to play, because he was reluctant to score in the first round.  Used small moves.

    Not only are the choices smart, but the running ability shown later, the ability to actively analyze the movements of teammates to cooperate, and the ability to find opportunities for oneselfthese things that cannot be seen from the data are really amazing!

    It¡¯s useless to shoot accurately. Being able to find shooting opportunities and make the ball is the most important thing.

    And this, Zhang Hao has!

    Generally speaking, the atmosphere on the bench of the Western Conference team is harmonious. If Olajuwon goes up and makes all the free throws, they will lead by 5 points at the beginning.

    On the other side, Jordan started roaring after returning to the bench: "Scott, shoot! And you guys, get moving! That rookie scored 8 points, don't you feel ashamed"

    Many people in the Eastern Team were frightened by Jordan and did not dare to cheat. The Zen Master closed his eyes at this time, as peacefully as if sleeping.

    Only Reggie Miller was not frightened and responded: "I don¡¯t know whose defense allowed that rookie to score 8 points."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 148 148. The invincible Jordan + O'Neal!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    Reggie Miller is particularly envious of Zhang Hao's body shape.

    From a theoretical point of view, you can learn anything, it¡¯s just a question of whether you can learn it well. If you drag Mutombo to practice three-pointers, at least Mutombo can learn the moves.

    But height cannot be achieved through training.

    The All-Stars in the Eastern Conference were also surprised by Zhang Hao's free performance. Anfernee Hardaway had no desire in this regard, and he was fine. Grant Hill was incredible about Zhang Hao's performance without stage fright. He could do it.  You can't let go like Zhang Hao.

    What surprised the more experienced players was Zhang Hao's ability to adapt - this rookie is playing better and better for the Lakers. It's not just that the Lakers acquired Doug Christie and brought Magic back in his trade, the key is this rookie.  My own use of teammates who are good at passing the ball is already very good!

    The perfect championship puzzle!

    The veteran superstars of the Eastern Team who aspire to win the championship are extremely enthusiastic about Zhang Hao!

    But now, it is not the time to think of ways to seduce the rookie to cooperate after the 1998 contract expires. Jordan is almost pissed off by Reggie Miller, so he should concentrate on playing the game first.

    Seeing that Jordan was unable to refute, the Zen master finally woke up.

    The only pure point guard in the Eastern Conference All-Stars is Trill Brandon, a short point guard who is 180 centimeters tall. Fortunately, there are many point guards on the other side, and there are no fast point guards on the opposite side, so it is not impossible to play. Jordan was defeated by his opponent today.  His teammates were so angry that they probably couldn't stop him from determined to play

    After thinking for a while, the Zen master began to make personnel adjustments: "Michael, go guard the point guard. Don't guard the rookie. It's a waste of your energy. Alonzo, come on, Trier and Reggie, you are responsible for keeping up with the opponent's striker.  Guard, Scott, you go guard that rookie"

    After arranging the rotation, the Zen master took the tactical board and started drawing

    With a group of All-Stars, Master Jackson feels that coaching the All-Star Game is a pleasure!

    But when Pippen heard this defensive arrangement, he suddenly became excited - I am not good at guarding that rookie No, Jordan's physical strength is physical strength, but my physical strength is not?

    ¡­¡­

    The Western Team sent a combination of Stockton, Richmond, Zhang Hao, Malone and Olajuwon.

    Originally, Del Harris thought that Zhang Hao was a rookie. Although he was the vote leader, he definitely had no chance to perform. He would replace him after a while to avoid wasting his energy on the court and possibly being bullied by the old stars No, it was  I can't stand this rookie, so I don't want him to express himself in the All-Star Game.

    But I didn¡¯t expect that its versatility would work so well in the All-Star Game. Even though it¡¯s the All-Star Game, if you have a chance to win, it¡¯s best if you win.

    No one likes to lose in a competition.

    In addition, the Lakers can free up a huge salary space of more than 10 million US dollars after this season to allow Zhang Hao to continue playing. It would also be good to make more use of Zhang Hao's versatile characteristics to attract the attention of the All-Stars.  .

    On the other side, the Eastern Team sent a combination of Jordan, Reggie Miller, Glenn Rice, Pippen, and Mourning.

    The mood of the head coach of the Eastern team was completely different from that of the head coach of the Western team. Zen Master wanted to curse at that time - what did the Silver Fox on the opposite side think?  Actually replaced Shuangsha and Zhang Hao together?

    Master Zen really didn¡¯t expect that the opponent would rotate like this. Players might not pay attention to the feud between Malone and Zhang Hao, but as the head coach of a top team, he had lost to the Lakers once before, and Master Zen didn¡¯t want to lose a second time, so  Before playing against the Lakers, Zen Master took the time to pay attention to the Lakers, a team that had defeated them once, and learned about the feud between Zhang Hao and Malone.

    His rotation is an adjustment based on the fact that Zhang Hao and Ma Long will not appear together.

    ¡°I hope these two will have internal strife during the game¡±

    After the timeout, Olajuwon made two free throws, making the score 19-14, and the Western team led by 5 points.

    The Eastern team attacks.

    Although Zen Master was full of anxiety on the defensive end, the offensive coordination of their lineup was demonstrated at that time.

    Except for Mourning, the other four members of the Eastern Team are very good at passing the ball. Reggie Miller and Glenn Rice both averaged 3+ assists per game this season, Jordan averaged 4+ assists per game, and Pippen averaged 6+ assists per game.  Although Jordan and Reggie Miller dislike each other, when it comes to the game, the two work together very well and understand each other too well.

    With Pippen in charge, Reggie Miller received the ball from the sideline and made a long pass to the weak side. Jordan easily hit a mid-range jumper from the bottom line after Mourning used the ball-free pick-and-roll!

    Zhang Hao's defense was a beat late, and Jordan's rhythm was very good.

    In just one round, Zhang Hao could tell. Compared with the starting lineup, although the Eastern team's current lineup has weakened in the inside attack point, the teamwork can be perfect.

    &nbs??Or try your best to open up space for your teammates, and don't slack off in the next round just because you didn't catch the ball when you had a chance.

    It¡¯s normal for pitchers without the ball to think they have a chance but cannot catch the ball due to objective factors.

    On the offensive end, in addition to this simple style of play, there is another point - look for opportunities to counterattack!

    Zhang Hao played 5 minutes in the second quarter and had a counterattack dunk that greatly improved the morale of the Western team. After the official timeout in the third quarter, his cut-in, catch and dunk also had the same effect.

    But overall, in the middle two quarters, he had little impact on the overall situation and did not play much time. He played 4 minutes in the second quarter and 5 minutes in the third quarter.

    After the first three quarters, he played 21 minutes and scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. After scoring 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter, he only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the middle two quarters.  1 block.

    But he didn¡¯t feel dissatisfied. Instead, he was excited because of the high-level performance of his teammates and opponents in such a game full of All-Star players!

    Your teammates and opponents are all so awesome!

    In the second quarter, the Eastern team relied on O'Neal's performance of 6 of 8 shots and 4 of 6 free throws to score 16 points. At the end of the half, the Eastern team led the Western team by two points, 76-74, and finished the quarter 44-33.

    It was Zhang Hao¡¯s dunk that boosted the Western team¡¯s morale and led them to a wave of 8-3. Otherwise, the point difference would have been even greater after halftime.

    In the third quarter, the Eastern team started with an 11-0 run, but before the official timeout, they relied on the super-powerful pick-and-roll combination of Shuangsha + David Robinson, coupled with Richmond and Drakes.  Le's precise shooting retaliated with a 15-5 wave. After Zhang Hao came on the court, he took advantage of the speed of Zhang Hao and David Robinson. At the end of the three quarters, the Western team, which was once behind by 13 points, was stunned to catch up to 1 point difference.  point.

    After three quarters, the Western team trailed the Eastern team by 1 point, 111 to 112, entering the intersection break.

    The TV commentator who was originally complaining about Zen Master¡¯s poor defensive adjustment in the first quarter had to admire Zen Master¡¯s vision.

    Except for the first 4 minutes of the second quarter, when the Western team must let each All-Star play for a few minutes, Jackson focuses on defense and uses O'Neal to attack. At other times, Jackson is strengthening the offense. It seems brainless, but in fact it is  It is the key to the Eastern team's offense getting better and better, and going from a bad start to taking the initiative by the end of the third quarter!

    Although the Western team chased the point difference to only 1 point, after the start of the fourth quarter, Jordan and O'Neal took turns to work hard, especially O'Neal, which was extremely strong. Olajuwon and David Robinson both defended individually.  It's embarrassing, the Eastern team's mid-range shooters are Jordan and Grant Hill, and the three-point shooter is Terry Brandon. The West dare not double-team easily, and O'Neal is unstoppable in the paint!

    At the beginning, the Western Conference team still relied on shooting to hold on to the score, but the truth that the closer to the basket is, the easier it is to score will not change. Even in the three-point era more than 20 years later, those strong three-point teams still score the most points by cutting in.  , O'Neal has the tendency to lead the Eastern team to widen the point difference.

    After watching the game for more than 3 minutes, O'Neal turned around and deflected Olajuwon's short throw and hit Olajuwon's seventh foul of the game. The score was 125 to 121.  As O'Neal made a free throw, the point difference would be stretched to 5 points again, and the Western team called a timeout.

    ?? 13 of 18 shots, 8 of 13 free throws, scoring 34 points O'Neal started fiercely, so strong that he exploded!

    There is nothing the Western team can do. David Robinson can't defend him alone. Although Olajuwon seems to be still at his peak, he once again faced off against O'Neal. It is obvious that he faced O'Neal in the finals last season.  O'Neal has the upper hand, and Olajuwon's real state is far from as good as the data seems.

    When O'Neal has a defender like Jordan, even if he is only 24 years old, there is no solution!  Jordan could always deliver the ball to O'Neal at the position and time O'Neal felt most comfortable with.

    If this trend continues, their Western team will lose!  However, almost everyone on the Western Team was helpless, from coaches to players. There was no center, O'Neal, and Jordan passing the ball. Olajuwon did a terrible job of causing O'Neal's mistakes

    Zhang Hao hasn't played in the fourth quarter yet, and he is very anxious He also feels that there is nothing he can do, O'Neal + Jordan, so powerful!

    At this time, when Zhang Hao saw Olajuwon committing 7 fouls on the big screen, breaking the historical record of 6 committed by Chamberlain in the All-Star Game in 1968, he suddenly had an idea!

    Involuntarily, and definitely not on purpose, Zhang Hao deftly inserted himself into the gap and came to Del Harris. The players of the Western Team were surrounding the head coach to think of a solution.

    The players are also thinking about how to solve the problembut there is no way.

    If the game can be won by tactical changes, what else do stars need to do?

    Really, no one thought that Jordan + O'Neal would be better than Jordan + Pippen!  In the second quarter, the Eastern team quickly took the initiative. Jackson suddenly used Jordan + O'Neal as the core of the offense and played a simple tactic similar to the triangle offense.

    At this time, Del Harris saw Zhang Hao getting next to him, and felt something bad

    "Coach, I have an idea"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?What?

 Chapter 149 149. I want to escape... (5000 words please subscribe)

    Del Harris is so angry!

    I¡¯m about to be bossed around by a rookie again!

    However, Del Harris was very unhappy when he saw his opponent Phil Jackson entering the nagging mode again.

    Let¡¯s see what the rookie has to say!

    Del Harris nodded towards Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao got permission and said to his teammates: "We are so, so, so and so"

    Hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s thoughts, the teammates¡¯ eyes became very strange.

    "Isn't this bad" Olajuwon, who had been hit by O'Neal at least seven or eight times, began to move his joints again.

    "Isn't this a bit shameless?" Ma Long was also eager to try, and his elbows were raised.

    Looking at Olajuwon and Malone who were playing with him, David Robinson did not dare to say a word, but his eyes expressed his thoughts - let me go!

    Barkley was more direct. He was not as secretive as the two. He said directly: "Rookie, good idea! Strike harder! If it doesn't work, I will do it. He will be unhappy a long time ago."

    It took more effort than Zhang Hao expected to get this group of arrogant All-Stars to agree to implement such a tactic.

    Who would have imagined that the eyes of these All-Star teammates are brighter than the last, and Barkley even glowed red.

    Del Harris looked at Zhang Hao - Is this a way that humans came up with?

    This has nothing to do with basketball itself, right?  But it has to be said that apart from Olajuwon forcing O'Neal to average 5+ turnovers per game in one-on-one situations like last season's finals, causing O'Neal to make mistakes and be forced to pass the ball in one-on-one situations at critical moments, Zhang Hao's method is really  It's a good way to deal with O'Neal within the rules of basketball.

    At this time, Del Harris also saw the "new record" created by Olajuwon on the big screen, the record of 7 fouls in the All-Star Game

    "As long as it's an opportunity, this damn kid won't miss it But, this is too shameless!"

    The longer Del Harris works with Zhang Hao, the more he discovers more and more things that cannot be seen from Zhang Hao's appearance.

    ¡­¡­

    Back from the timeout, the Eastern team is preparing to create a clear lead in one go. The lineup of Jordan, Reggie Miller, Pippen, Juwan Howard, and O'Neal comes on the field.

    The Western Team sent a lineup of Magic, Drexler, Zhang Hao, Barkley, and David Robinson.

    O'Neal walked to the free throw line, Jordan looked at the opposing lineup, and actually replaced Zhang Hao at this time Even if this is no problem, it is still strange.

    Zhang Hao's defense only occasionally shines in games like this, so forget it. Zhang Hao is tall anyway, and he can do a good job of interfering with shots after the mid-range defense switch, but David Robinson defends O'Neal plus  Playing Barkley won't have a strong effect, and their Juwan Howard performed so well tonight

    "The Western Conference doesn't want to win? Can they beat me and O'Neal in attacking?"

    Jordan feels that the combination of him and O'Neal can defeat any combination, even stronger than the combination of him and Pippen.

    "O'Neal is so strong in regular time, and I can kill the game at critical moments. Our combination is so strong, it should have a nickname. Yes, I must announce the nickname of this combination after the game. It is called OK combination!"

    When Jordan was immersed in the joy of winning, O'Neal, who was also very proud of having defeated the two major centers Olajuwon and David Robinson tonight, happily shot free throws

    This center can¡¯t be happy. Once he becomes happy, he can¡¯t even make free throws.

    Barkley guarded the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Magic. Zhang Hao stepped down immediately. David Robinson also stepped down immediately after Barkley grabbed the rebound. Barkley also passed the ball to Magic quickly.  He rushed out from the frontcourt.

    Drexler is following up at a lower speed, on the one hand to have a better fast break level, and on the other hand to guard against the unexpected need to meet the magician who holds the ball.

    In the frontcourt, Pippen, Jordan, and Reggie Miller retreated quickly. Zhang Hao's speed was amazing!

    Magic did not pass the ball to Zhang Hao, who was blocked by Pippen and Jordan after reaching the frontcourt first. Instead, he passed the ball to David Robinson who had just passed the center circle. David Robinson received the ball and dribbled it to three.  Outside the dividing line, the ball was released, and Barkley, who was cutting in, received the ball. After helping Jordan block Zhang Hao, Pippen took it back towards the basket and flanked Barkley with the chasing Juwan Howard.

    However, Barkley had already taken the opportunity to rush forward. After receiving the ball, he pushed away Pippen like a chariot. Ignoring Juwan Howard, he violently rose up under the basket and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

    &nb?Different!  It's not that they missed their outside shots and were outplayed by the opponent, it's that they didn't even have a chance to attack!

    The bench on the other side.

    "Oh, no! They are going to replace O'Neal. If I had known the effect would be so good, I would be here! I will make sure that he can't make a free throw!" Barkley was very upset about why he wanted to see Zhang Hao making a joke.  idea.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t see the effect of this kind of thing with my own eyes, but I just thought it might be useful. After all, it didn¡¯t make Barkley determined to commit a more serious foul.

    At this time, the complaining Buckley saw Zhang Hao glance at him lightly, and his eyes seemed to be contempt

    "Hey, kid, what do you mean by that look in your eyes?"

    "You're wrong, I don't despise you."

    "Did I say that your eyes despise me?"

    "Huh? You didn't say it, then I'm sorry, let's do it again I didn't look at you just now."

    ""

    Barkley has no choice. He really has no choice for a player with an indifferent expression like Zhang Hao!

    At this time, the Western team players looked at Zhang Hao with strange eyes

    Since O'Neal averaged 29.3 points, 13.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.9 blocks per game in his sophomore year and almost won the scoring title, everyone knew that he would be the future center king. Each team will compete for the championship and long-term success.  Teams aiming to compete for the championship are all trying to find ways to acquire meat shield centers. Among them, the Jazz have the highest quality of white bears.

    In everyone's opinion, this strategy is the only correct way for other teams to target O'Neal except for teams with players like peak Olajuwon.

    As a result, Zhang Hao came up with such a damaging move just because he wanted to win an All-Star game And it seems that it may have excellent results in the regular season and even the playoffs!  There is no need to swallow the big center!

    Del Harris has already walked up with the tactical board. The temporary teammates put away their weird thoughts and won the game first.

    "John, Carl, David, you go up, you three play according to your own style, Clyde, get ready to take over" At this point, Del Harris hesitated, and then said: "Akers  , Seize the opportunity to counterattack and shoot decisively when you have the opportunity to shoot!"

    Originally, last year's All-Star mvp Richmond should have been sent in at this time, but tonight Richmond made 3 of 10 shots and only scored 7 points and 2 assists. He almost lost his threat and just made a three-pointer.  Zhang Hao's threat is actually greater.

    ¡°Moreover, at this time, Del Harris also wanted to give Zhang Hao a chance to practice. There are not many such opportunities.

    As for whether he will lose because of this maybe the chance to win the game was obtained by Zhang Hao. If he loses, he loses.

    ¡­¡­

    Jackson was forced to replace O'Neal and had no idea how to deal with O'Neal being deliberately fouled. But they didn't lose without O'Neal. They just couldn't completely overpower their opponents and win the game. They still had a chance.

    The combination of Terry Brandon, Jordan, Pippen, Vin Baker and Ewing came on the court.

    After Jordan came on the court, he looked at Zhang Hao, who had disintegrated the strongest "ok" combination in his mind, with one hand and showed a ferocious smile.

    He originally thought that Zhang Hao would not come up, and the other party would send stronger and more stable players

    Seeing Zhang Hao continue to play, Jordan's desire to win has already burned!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 150 150. Same situation, same ending!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    As expected, the opponent replaced O'Neal in panic.

    In Zhang Hao's impression, when O'Neal is cut, he is often confused at first, then furious, and then resigned to his fate Then, after calming down, he is usually good at free throws at critical moments.

    To use this trick, you have to seize the opportunity, usually when O'Neal is behind in the score, and then the number of times you are forced to commit a foul instead of taking the initiative has reached the free throw stage, otherwise the effect will not be very good, at least it will not be effective in the playoffs.  Especially obvious.

    After the timeout, the Western team attacks.

    After Zhang Hao came to the frontcourt, he continued to do what he should and can do.

    It's not that O'Neal was replaced and their Western team had an advantage in the remaining 7 minutes or so, but that O'Neal was replaced and the offensive status of both teams was online, so that their Western team had a draw.  East's ability to evenly match.

    ?? Stockton is paired with two inside players who can pick and roll, shoot, and cut, a mid-range shooter, and an all-around shooter who can also assist in control Such teammates are quite strong.

    The opposing center has changed from O'Neal, who weighs more than 130 kilograms and has the athletic ability of a small forward, to Ewing, whose legs are like two weights tied to his legs. The Western team's impact on the basket has become more efficient and their offense is very good.

    The Eastern team has returned to a style of play in which Pippen is the core organizer, Jordan is the first scoring point, and others take over. After a long period of offensive adjustments by Jackson, it is also very strong.

    The key point is that the players are generally very familiar with each other. Even if they are not teammates, after playing against each other for so many years, they already have a deep understanding of each other's playing styles. With their strong strength, if they are willing to take the initiative to cooperate, they will be quite skilled in cooperating at the end of the game.

    At this stage, Zhang Hao relies entirely on his teammates in terms of scoring, trying his best to provide mid- and long-distance containment for his teammates, and occasionally receiving and passing the ball. Indeed, in terms of strength, compared with the weakest of the other 9 players on the field, he has  Obvious gap.

    This is his personal understanding of himself in the current game, but in the eyes of others, he is already very good!

    He doesn't occupy the ball, can make shots when he has the chance, can also occasionally provide support, and can make a wave when switching from the defensive end to the center As for being unable to prevent this kind of thing, David Robinson and Ewing both exploded at each other. Originally,  The players of the two teams are strong and limit each other, so Zhang Hao's average defense is not so prominent.

    The game is full of physical combat. Under such confrontation, Zhang Hao can still maintain good accuracy when shooting in open positions, which is quite surprising.

    It is said that a game that is too fierce will be ugly to watch, but it also depends on who is playing the game.

    When the superstars of the two teams find opportunities to score the ball under high confrontation, will such a difficult goal not look good?

    The stars of both teams have tried their best and worked hard to get to this point. No matter whether it is the All-Star Game or not, they don¡¯t want to lose to their opponent.

    The score continued to be tense until 10 minutes and 58 seconds. Olajuwon, who came on as a substitute, received a low through pass from Zhang Hao and hit a gyro-turning throw. 146 to 144, the Western team took a two-point lead!

    This pass was Zhang Hao's most beautiful offensive choice in the last quarter except for fouling O'Neal. The Eastern team tried to block Malone on the left side of the three-second zone and Stockton in the mid-range on the right side. Ewing also extended it to three.  The left sideline of the second zone was one step closer to the free throw line to prevent Malone from forcing a cut.

    Zhang Hao passed a through ball from the gap to Olajuwon's hand. Although Ewing took it back in time, Olajuwon already had room to make a move!

    Attack and defense transition, the Western team focuses on defense!

    The defense did a very good job in the first 20 seconds. However, at 11 minutes and 40 seconds, Reggie Miller, who replaced Vin Baker, received Jordan's second pass without hesitation when there were only two seconds left in the attack time.  A three-point shot and a hollow hit!

    147 to 146, the Eastern team leads by 1 point!

    Del Harris called a timeout!  The game lasted 11 minutes and 41 seconds, with 19 seconds left!

    Malone failed to guard him at the last moment and switched to guard Reggie Miller. He punched his thigh in annoyance. He almost intercepted Jordan's pass, but after a beat, there was no  Choosing to press directly towards Reggie Miller became his biggest mistake on the defensive end!

    Jordan made 10 of 22 shots and played 37 minutes. His statistics improved to 28 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, a triple-double!

    Although O'Neal scored 35 points and Reggie Miller scored 5 three-pointers and scored a total of 21 points, Jordan's performance was obviously the best in the Eastern Conference.

    As long as the Eastern Conference wins, Jordan will definitely win this year¡¯s All-Star Game mvp!  This will also be Jordan's second All-Star Game MVP.

    "I didn't expect this damn kid to be so lucky. He didn't make a fool of himself and was beaten well.", pushed away the crowd with brute force, and walked towards the player tunnel

    ¡­¡­

    In the end, when the singles were very excited and dared to go to the ball, when they were shot, they were extremely happy when they entered  but when Zhang Hao was surrounded by a group of reporters after the game, Zhang Hao was a little dizzy.

    Sometimes when you are doing something, you are so focused that you finish it before you even realize what you have done.

    And after you calm down after doing it, in retrospect, you may feel scared about some things, or you may be more excited, and you may feel a little dazed because of such emotions.

    This is how Zhang Hao feels now.

    He remembers that reporters asked him who came up with the idea of ??dealing with O'Neal, and he seemed to have responded, "I think that's the only way to deal with him."

    Finally, the post-match interview time passed, and the staff arranged the award ceremony. Zhang Hao and his Western Team All-Star teammates stood together and waited for the final awards before he came to his senses.

    ??Another killer kill of Jordan!

    I feel happy just thinking about beating Jordan just now!

    "Wait, did I defeat Jordan again? Damn it! If I beat Jordan on the 1st, would I have won 4 times in a row? What a big loss!

    ¡°Well, without such teammates, it¡¯s a bit difficult to beat Jordan who is serious and in good condition"

    Although it was very satisfying, Zhang Hao knew very well that he just made the last ball and helped the Western team think of a way to deal with O'Neal reasonably.

    The victory came from Magic¡¯s 20 points and 6 assists, Stockton¡¯s 19 points and 11 assists, Malone¡¯s 25 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, Olajuwon¡¯s 22 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, and Dray.  Kesler¡¯s 4 three-pointers¡­

    However, Zhang Hao was still very happy after scoring 27 points.

    I was already very happy just to participate in the All-Star Game. I was even more happy when I played well in the game. In the end, I won and beat Jordan with my own hands. Zhang Hao felt that it was his first time to participate in the All-Star Game.  No regrets.

    Happy All-Star Weekend, nothing is more enjoyable than this All-Star Weekend.

    Zhang Hao, who was only thinking about being happy now, didn't notice that Stockton, Malone, and Olajuwon looked at each other from time to time. He didn't notice that when the three of them looked at each other, they would occasionally look at Zhang Hao.  someone

    What he noticed was that among the Eastern Conference stars, the heaviest player in the game was staring at him with cannibalistic eyes. He noticed that there was one less player in the Eastern Conference and Jordan was gone.

    It was time to award the award, and David Stern came to the court with the hostess.

    The joy on David Stern¡¯s face is visible to the naked eye, to the point where many people don¡¯t know why he smiles so much.

    How could David Stern not be happy?  He predicted China's development potential ten years ago. In the past two years, when China has been oppressed by the world's largest economy, China's development has actually bucked the trend Now is a good opportunity to develop the Chinese market.

    No, the opportunity has come again!

    "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for watching this wonderful All-Star game tonight. Congratulations to the Western Team for winning the game. I announce that the person who won the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player trophy tonight is"

    David Stern spoke, and everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on him. They all knew that the award was about to be presented, and Zhang Hao¡¯s attention was also attracted.

    This year's All-Star mvp is very suspenseful. The Western team does not have players as outstanding as O'Neal and Jordan. The whole team works together to win the game. Even Magic, who only scored 20 points and 6 assists, may win.  all star mvp.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The most promising person to win the MVP is Olajuwon. Although he was beaten by O'Neal, he did a very good job in scoring and passing.

    Malone and Stockton are also possible, and they may even win the MVP together.

    Zhang Hao, who finally made the buzzer-beating shot, is also promising in the eyes of fans and players, but because he is a rookie, the probability is not that high.

    After a while, when the fans at the scene were heard yelling, David Stern read out his name with satisfaction: "Our magician and our gentleman! Congratulations to both of them for winning the All-Star Award."  Game MVP!"

    When they heard the nickname Magic, not many people were surprised. Magic played 22 minutes tonight and scored 20 points and 6 assists, which was quite efficient.

    But David Stern then read out Zhang Hao¡¯s nickname!

    Although Zhang Hao was a candidate, when Zhang Hao actually won the All-Star MVP, the scene was in an uproar In NBA history, he was another rookie to win the All-Star MVP since the basketball emperor Chamberlain and Big 0!

    "God, Akers, you actually won the MVP! I thought it would be Malone and Stockton who won it together, but I didn't expect that it was you and Magic who won it together. I really didn't expect"

    "Yes, I didn't expect that either."

    "You're really lucky. Fortunately, it's the season when Magic comes back. Otherwise, even if you play so well and make a buzzer-beating shot, you may be robbed of your MVP title by the two evil spirits"

    Listening to Pierce¡¯s endless chatter, why does Zhang Hao feel that the magician has taken advantage of him?

    An hour ago, when he had just won the All-Star MVP, he felt dizzy again. The All-Star MVP, this piece of cake, was so hard for him who had not paid attention to this year's All-Star Weekend that he could hardly find it.  .

    After the game, Zhang Hao simply accepted an interview, finished physical therapy and left. He was as noble and cool as ever. The media was used to it. Anyway, Zhang Hao would not say too much that he didn't want to say in interviews, even if he occasionally  It seemed very high-profile, but after analysis, the media also discovered that Zhang Hao just chose to be high-profile in that interview, answering questions or proactively revealing the things he wanted to answer.

    Now in a quiet environment, no longer noisy, no longer surrounded by cameras, and no longer surrounded by a group of people asking questions, Zhang Hao remembered David Stern¡¯s particularly enthusiastic attitude when he shook hands with him

    Ignore this, I will be happy when I get the prize!

    and¡­¡­

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao won the Most Valuable Player Award at the 1996 San Antonio All-Star Weekend. Congratulations to the host for receiving an unexpected reward: a special card for the kindness of the Lakers star.

    The friendliness of the Lakers star (*): The host can designate a signed player or a retired jersey-level Lakers star. If the designated star has a favorable impression of the designated contracted player, the favorability will be greatly improved.  "

    What a reward!

    Zhang Hao was still worried that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was too withdrawn and could not find his contact information when he had time to practice a center skill. Now, he has it!

    The summer plan has taken another step forward, but there is no rush. The current goal is to improve the strength as much as possible in the second half of the season. Combining training + competition, the improvement obtained is the most effective. Such opportunities cannot be wasted casually.

    Listening to Pierce¡¯s ramble, Zhang Hao interrupted him and asked: ¡°Where is Kobe?¡±

    "That annoying guy? He went back to Philadelphia overnight. He was probably hit by youoh, no, I was hit too. I will have to work harder next"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Rookie wins All-Star Game MVP!  The last time it happened was in 1961, and the last time was in 1960, when Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain did this in their rookie seasons.

    After that, even super rookies like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bird, and Jordan who could get the first or second team after entering the NBA failed to do so.

    After the game, major media rushed to report that Zhang Hao and the magician both won AMVP, mainly to promote Zhang Hao's award. There is no suspense. It not only brought higher attention to Zhang Hao, but also brought him a lot of attention.  More controversy.

    In terms of controversy, there is one fact that cannot be avoided - Stockton, Malone, Olajuwon and even Drexler all performed better than Zhang Hao and Magic.

    Even if the combination of extra points, Stockton + Malone, Olajuwon + Drexler, the overall performance is better.

    But it is precisely because of the controversy that topics can be created.

    Domestically, under the leadership of Chaotingdai and Xinhua News Agency, public opinion about Zhang Hao has become much more positive. Zhang Hao has made great progress in the NBA, making those negative voices unable to come forward for the time being.

    The New Year is approaching, and the leaders of the Blue Association, who have been on vacation for a long time, had to make a statement that afternoon: "This year's national team lineup has been assembled and has undergone many training runs. It is not suitable for new players to join for the time being, but we have absorbed Zhang Hao back.  The national team is on the agenda"

    On the morning of February 12, Zhang Hao took the two girls and Pierce¡¯s mother on the team owner¡¯s private plane and flew back to Los Angeles.

    The magician was really impressed when he saw that Zhang Hao was already studying the information of eight opponents in the second half of February.

    Too sensible!

    Yesterday I just completed the glorious moment of winning the All-Star MVP in my rookie season. Today, I will put those things behind me

    "Maybe it's because of this that he can do things that even I can't do"

    Magic recalled that more than ten years ago, he was also selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season, but in the game, he was completely unable to be as calm and focused as Zhang Hao. When his teammates were all All-Stars, he was completely unable to do what he should.Early in the morning, Zhang Hao had just finished washing and came to the living room when he saw April Clark busy

    I don¡¯t know since when, Zhang Hao got used to someone coming to make breakfast for him every now and then. When no one makes breakfast every now and then, he still feels empty in his heart.

    Zhang Hao saw the calendar on the wallValentine's Day!

    There was something strange in my heart, but when I looked at my life span of 888 days the fire in my heart was instantly extinguished.

    "I'm only 19 years old, why rush? Take your time. What if you are unlucky and make someone a widow?"

    "If it were a casual girl, Zhang Hao would be casual, but if she wasn't, he couldn't be casual either.

    On the other side, April Clark, who was setting the dinner plates, felt Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes become hot for a while, then suddenly became cold again

    Looking at her right hand - "Little sister, how long are we going to depend on each other?"

    During breakfast time, Zhang Hao read the morning newspaper as usual.

    "The Hawks traded Andrew Long and Spotter Weber for Laettner? The Timberwolves have finally made up their mind to use Garnett as the core! By the way, when we played against each other before the All-Star Weekend, Garnett  Laettner has been pushed to the bench.

    This year¡¯s transactions are really robberies one after another!  "

    Hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s words, April Clark came over to look at the deal reached late last night and complained too.

    Zhang Hao enjoyed this breakfast, and April Clark also enjoyed this feeling.

    After breakfast, April Clark, who was washing dishes, heard the sound of the game video coming from the living room. She was still a little depressed, but she felt that this was the Zhang Hao she was familiar with.

    "Anyway, I'm the one having breakfast with Aix on Valentine's DayI have to take the initiative with this piece of wood. Do I really want to use that?"

    April Clark opened the kitchen cabinet like a thief, and inside there was a bottle of something that looked like oil.

    I bought this from a Spanish store in San Antonio before, and it was recommended by former socialite Jenny Bass, who said it was very useful

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Originally, with the current record of their own team, the Lakers did not regard the Hawks as an opponent that needed to be taken seriously, and felt that it would not be difficult to win.

    However, the Hawks got Laettner, and it was almost equivalent to directly upgrading Andrew Long, a mediocre power forward, into a fringe All-Star power forward like Laettner, with the possibility of becoming a first-class team!

    Although Laettner's personal performance when he was with the Timberwolves was not particularly good, and his record was even worse, the role of a player like Laettner in a real team cannot be ignored!

    During the morning tactical meeting, Del Harris was obviously more focused than when preparing for the game yesterday, and his attitude towards the Eagles completely changed.

    When the tactical meeting was about to end, Del Harris asked on a whim: "We have performed very well so far this season. What are your expectations for the next 35 games?"

    This many players on the Lakers really haven't thought about it. After all, most of the Lakers are team players now, and Van Exel is the kind of heartless.

    I don¡¯t know why, but at this time, most of the Lakers turned their attention to the rookie who didn¡¯t say a word in the entire tactical meeting.

    "I'm still a rookie! Why do I have to bear so much?"

    ?????????????????? I saw the magician didn¡¯t speak, but still had a smile on his face

    Forget it, let¡¯s just talk. Zhang Hao looked around at his teammates and said, ¡°Set a small goal, 60 wins.¡±

    Our genius really has a dream!  His teammates all agreed, and Magic was also very satisfied with Zhang Hao's choice at this time.

    You can¡¯t let him remind you, otherwise the effect won¡¯t be that good.

    Leadership temperament is one thing. Only by transforming leadership temperament into leadership ability can it play a real role.

    But Zhang Hao had no time to care about the reactions of his teammates at this time, looking at the subtitles in front of him

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao promised to help the team win 60 games this season. The mission is to trigger another small goal"

    "That was not what I meant!"

 Chapter 152 152. Wait... wait a minute!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    At 7:30 pm on February 14, 1996, the Lakers played against the Hawks at home.

    In the early stages of the game, the Lakers relied on their stable performance to lead the Eagles by 13 points, 47-34, halfway through the second quarter.

    The Eagles launched a fierce counterattack after the official timeout in the second quarter. The Lakers did not respond in time and did not pay too much attention. The traditional disease occurred again. In the second half of the second quarter, the Eagles defended and only scored 6 points.  At the end of the game, the Eagles only led by 1 point, 53-52.

    By the third quarter, the Lakers began to pay attention to their thinking, but their style of play seemed too casual.

    The most obvious one is reflected in Van Exel. During the halftime break, he decided to take over the game. At the beginning of the second half, he hit three three-pointers in a row

    Because he was in such good shape before the All-Star Weekend, Van Exel shot 44% from three-point range in 13 games from mid-January to February 6, averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game.  , averaging 24.3 points per game, which unexpectedly increased the 14.8 points per game in the early season to 17.1 points per game.

    This makes Van Exel want to rely on his own ability to solve problems when he encounters them.

    ????????????????????? However, after a week of rest, that super-godlike state is gone!

    With regular play, after a week's rest, Van Exel actually played better than before the All-Star weekend, but when it came to the transition period of the game, Van Exel did not adjust.

    In turn, the Eagles' newly formed trio of Mookie Blakelow, Steve Smith, and Christian Laettner quickly found a sense of coordination, played steadily and performed steadily, and in the third quarter,  From the beginning, he helped the Eagles shoot a 12-2 wave. The Eagles overtook the Lakers by 9 points 64-55!

    At this point, the Lakers were in decline and tried to counterattack, but the effect was not good.

    At this time, Zhang Hao¡¯s biggest flaw was exposed - his lack of hard power!

    His playing style gives him the ability to raise the team's upper limit.

    But to ensure that the team¡¯s strength is lowered, he has to rely on his teammates.

    The Lakers' team strength complements each other. Zhang Hao's characteristics, the team offense led by Van Exel and Magic, and their good performance are the core of their 20-1 record before the All-Star weekend.

    Zhang Hao scored a very stable 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, but 16 of them were scored in the first quarter and a half, and he only scored 8 points in the second half.

    In the end, the Lakers lost to the Hawks 91-98 and suffered a huge reversal!

    ¡­¡­

    "Actually, it's not that the Hawks are in better shape than us. We are in very good shape. It's just that we are used to a hot state where we can score even if we are defensive. When we played against the Jazz before the All-Star Weekend, we couldn't make any shots.  I haven¡¯t adjusted yet¡­¡±

    April Clark responded to Zhang Hao like a chicken pecking at rice. She liked this feeling very much.

    After the game, Zhang Hao was almost completely unwilling to answer questions when facing the media. When April Clark went to the home team lounge to find Zhang Hao, the other Lakers players were quite frustrated. Magic was actively trying to regulate the emotions of his teammates, and Zhang Hao did not.  say what.

    Instead, he chose to tell her his views on the current situation of the team after returning home and the reasons why he did not express too many thoughts in front of the media and teammates.

    "This is trust"

    April Clark made up her mind, took out the match and lit the wick

    "April, what is this?"

    April Clark was excited, quickly pulled the match twice, extinguished the match in her hand, and said hurriedly: "This is the brain-soothing aromatherapy I bought in San Antonio. I see that you are very anxious Don't worry too much, we  Isn¡¯t my state not bad? We were leading by more than ten points in the first half. You are still a rookie, so don¡¯t put so much pressure on yourself.¡±

    How could there be no pressure?  Zhang Hao turned on the system subtitles and looked at the tasks triggered this morning.

    ¡°Another small goal:

    Goal: Special signing player Zhang Hao helped the Lakers win at least 60 games in the 1995-1996 season.

    Reward: A top star experience card.

    Failure penalty: For every number of games the Lakers' final regular season record in the 1995-1996 season falls below 60 wins, the host will deduct the number of games multiplied by 10 for its lifespan.

    Advanced goals:?

    Advanced rewards:?  "

    I don¡¯t know what the advanced goals and rewards are, but the rewards for regular goals are tempting enough!

    "The top star experience card doesn't seem to be the same as the top strength experience card, but it doesn't matter, it should be easy to use. After all, the penalty deduction is quite severe, 60 wins It can't be that simple. I don't know how many teams have a few team histories.  Not for ten yearsWe have to keep going, but when the opportunities are not good, we have to choose to rely on our teammates. Relying on our teammates is not a shameful thing, on the contrary, it is what we should do"

    When Del Harris said this, the Lakers players unconsciously glanced at Van Exel. The latter felt the eyes of his teammates and was a little angry. Although, after the game last night, he was very upset about why he did those things.  The ball didn't go in, and he took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself during the interview, but he still wasn't happy to hear the head coach say that.

    However, at this time, Van Exel found that the player he was paying close attention to did not look at him with that kind of evasive gaze, but took a deep look at him and then spoke!

    Zhang Hao slapped away the magician's hand that secretly slapped him. Everyone reminded him of this. He could only say: "Coach, you are right, but role players like me should also do better. I  There were a few open shots that didn't go in last night, and I want to be a shooter that the core relies on, and I have to be worthy of it."

    After these words came out, some players had strange expressions

    Indeed, last night¡¯s loss, from a certain perspective, was because the open shooters did not perform so well in the second half, so Van Exel chose to shoot more by himself.

    Sensing the change in the mentality of the players, Del Harris glanced at Zhang Hao

    "This damn kid actually eased the possible conflicts between me and Nick"

    What he just said is correct advice for the team itself and for Van Exel's style of play, but from a certain perspective, it is also about finding a blame within the team to turn last night into a culprit.  A big reversal may cause potential conflicts to be concentrated on one person.

    For such a role, Van Exel is the most suitable.

    Just like the later ok combination, no matter what went wrong, K was always blamed. Who made K the one who should take the blame regardless of his playing style or personality?  Van Exel is that kind of character right now.

    The purpose is to divert conflicts. In the next 34 games, Del Harris believes that it is unlikely that he can perform as well as before the All-Star Weekend, so he must lay the groundwork well. If there is a tendency for conflicts to arise, he can throw the blame on him.  On Van Exel.

    And what Zhang Hao said changed the direction of the conflict!

    From conflict to taking responsibility!

    ¡­¡­

    After the tactical meeting, it¡¯s free training time.

    To play against the Mavericks, the second-to-last team in the Western Conference, there was not much preparation in terms of tactics, and the adjustment was mainly about mentality.

    Zhang Hao came to the training ground for back-up training. After he practiced a set, the magician came forward and handed him a drink: "What you just said was great, better than I thought. I thought you would do it because of your nature."  I don¡¯t have a good relationship with the coach, so I choose to have a conflict with the coach to deflect the conflict and win the favor of the core player However, young people must know how to exercise restraint!"

    Zhang Hao saw that the magician's smile became particularly obscene, and when he lowered his head, he saw that there were still teeth marks on the collarbone that had not completely dissipated, and strawberries that would definitely not dissipate in a short time.

    "Ahem" Zhang Hao ignored the second half of the sentence, shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth. I just feel that I'm not good enough. If I could stand up and solve the problem at that time, I wouldn't be able to solve the problem."  Have such contradictions arise?

    Or, transfer the conflict to meI don't care.  "

    "The Georgetown University Hoyas, where the contracted player Wang Zhizhi belongs, has been shortlisted for the knockout rounds of the NCAA Basketball Championship. Wang Zhizhi has entered the reserve roster for the knockout rounds of the Hoyas and will start playing with the Hoyas in the NCAA Basketball Championship on March 7, 1996.  Knockout.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the 15-day lifespan reward.

    In the knockout stage of the NCAA tournament, if Wang Zhizhi plays as a main player on behalf of the Hoyas, the host will receive a two-day lifespan reward.

Every time Wang Zhizhi's team, the Hoyas, advances to a round, the host will receive an extra life bonus of +2 days after winning.

    Because Wang Zhizhi is the first player signed by the host, all game rewards are doubled.

    The remaining life is 902 days and the usable life is 901 days.  "

    At 5:30 pm, Zhang Hao got home from the team training and just parked the car when he received the latest news from Wang Zhizhi.

    As early as the end of January, when he felt that his starting lineup was about stable, he contacted Wang Zhizhi, but unfortunately, just like Pierce, the NCAA was not interrupted because of the NBA All-Star Game. It happened that Georgetown University was there in those days  There was a game, so I couldn't go to watch the game.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    "I'm definitely not trying to show off, absolutely not!"

    Opening the signed player column, Zhang Hao saw Wang Zhizhi¡¯s latest information.

    ¡°Signed player: Wang Zhizhi.

    Team: Georgetown University Hoyas.

    Age: 18 years old on July 8, 1977.

    Height 210 cm, weight 115 kg.

    Position: Center.

    NCAA Big East League 1995-1996 season data: 26 appearances, 24.3 minutes per game, 11.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.3 steals, 1.3 blocks per game"

    "The data dropped quite obviously. My weight dropped from 126 kilograms to 115 kilograms. At the beginning, my performance and data on the court did not fluctuate much, but in the middle of the regular season, the decline was obvious. I remember when they played the University of Michigan a few days ago.  , Xiao Wang scored 20 points and 12 rebounds. It seems that his performance has improved. However, no matter whether the performance fluctuates or not, the playing time is quite stable. Don¡¯t worry too much about how seriously Xiao Wang is taken

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how much hardship he endured, how many looks he received when he didn¡¯t perform well, how many discordant comments he heard

    That¡¯s how it should be!  Young people should suffer a little.  "

    I paid a little attention to Wang Zhizhi. Next, Wang Zhizhi will have to stay in the NCAA for at least two years to polish his skills like Duncan and Olajuwon before he can enter the NBA. Of course, Zhang Hao did not expect Wang Zhizhi to have that kind of strength.  It's just that in this era, centers who enter the NBA after their junior year or graduate from college are always more popular, and they may become a starter directly after entering the NBA.

    If he comes out as a freshman or sophomore, unless he is as strong as Duncan, even if his talent is as high as Garnett's, it will take a long time for the team to make up his mind to make him the core.

    April Clark has already gotten up and is carrying the dry sheets and quilts upstairs.

    "I'm backdon't do anything! There will be a game tomorrow"

    April Clark¡¯s voice changed from tough at first, to softer, and finally filled with pleading. Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know whether the pleading felt like begging or begging But the days were long, and there was plenty of time.

    ?????????????????? There is indeed a game tomorrow, so I¡¯ll just show some restraint today.

    Although the kidneys are good and the recovery ability of the learning mode is also strong, the best way to adjust the body for the competition is for longer sex No, it is for longer happiness.

    It seemed that there was still no difference from before. After restraining himself, Zhang Hao put on his glasses and watched the scouting reports and videos of the next two strong opponents in February, the Rockets and the Knicks.

    "Generally speaking, our difficult schedule is concentrated in March and April. In February, these two strong enemies will be the only ones. Other opponentsmust go all out to win!"

    Next, the takeaway order arrived. April Clark made some staple food by herself, added the dishes she ordered, and had dinner together

    There is still a difference. When you go to bed at night, you can control the ball with both hands, and you no longer sleep alone.

    Although April Clark was scratched and itched again, she felt swollen and painful after being touched

    "Little sister, you can finally retire"

    ¡­¡­

    On February 16, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks.

      The magician's no-look pass triggered screams from the scene!

    Vision, analysis, predictiona perfect combination!

    Facing the poor defense of the Mavericks, Zhang Hao, who moved actively and effectively, felt really comfortable playing. Of course, Magic's passing is the key.

    At this time, Kidd also got over his dissatisfaction with Zhang Hao. Magic's ability to organize and attack may be the strongest in history, which made him more motivated to fight.

    To seize the advantage point, Kidd must continue to play fast!

    Both insiders are athletic. Small forward George McLeod also relied on his speed and running and jumping ability to become the Mavericks' scoring leader in the past 18 games. Although Jim Jackson suffered a serious ankle injury that led to a decline in lateral movement and explosive speed,  The athletic ability is also perfect, even Kidd's speed and strength are top-notch.

    As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The Mavericks' record this season is already like this. Without caring about defense and not even caring too much about losing, the Mavericks are really not afraid of the Lakers' steady play at the beginning.

    With Jim Jackson and Lorenzo Williams flying together on both wings, Kidd launching long passes, and Poupoye Jones and George McLeod serving as the second receiving point, the Mavericks started their offensive play.  Got to be very grumpy!

    The Lakers didn¡¯t play too tired, they scored very smoothly, and scored 17 points, but the Mavericks scored 19 points!

    George McLeod made two three-pointers in the first 6 and a half minutes!

    This is easily overlooked, because the rest of the Mavericks are rushing so hard, and Campbell is always running back and forth. Before he can fully retreat to the basket, the opponent's Jim Jackson or Lorenzo Williams have already entered the paint.

    After George McLeod hit his second three-pointer to take the lead by two points, the Lakers called a timeout!

    Kidd only had two assists and no points at the start. He got 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal. Jim Jackson got 7 points and 2 assists. After entering the timeout, the two high-fived excitedly to celebrate.

    At this stage, there is no conflict between the two. Both of them are very unhappy with Zhang Hao. This feeling is enhanced by the debuff on Zhang Hao's side, and they are more focused and active when cooperating.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao returned to the bench. He recalled that Kidd played 6 minutes and 33 seconds, but he felt that the ball was rarely in Kidd's hands. The Mavericks almost always completed their offense in about 10 seconds.  , the ball passes from Kidd¡¯s hand to another person¡¯s hand, and it only takes about 3-4 seconds, excluding the time the ball flies in the air

    "Damn! Kidd's ball holding rate may not even be 20%?"

    In addition to this, Zhang Hao has already felt that Kidd has a similar characteristic to James and Paul - the ability to ensure the lower limit of the team's strength!

    When George McLeod's spot-up three-point ability is fully utilized, Kidd only has two athletic insiders, and Jim Jackson is the only singles strong point, and the Mavericks have a 50% winning rate in the Western Conference.  strength!

 Chapter 154 154. The horse steps firmly (5000 words please subscribe!)

    After the All-Star Weekend, the attention to the regular season games has greatly increased. On the one hand, it is because the NFL season is over, and on the other hand, the NBA has entered the stage of sprinting for playoff seats and competing for rankings.

    At this time, young players have received much greater attention.

    How are the rookies adapting to the second half of the regular season?  What improvements have the second- and third-year players made after one and a half or two and a half seasons?  Can you maintain your performance during a period when strong teams are starting to exert their strength, or will you get better and better as you play?

    Although there is no clear term limit for NBA rookie contracts, the high-ranking rookies in the draft years before Big Dog, Kidd, and Grant Hill generally signed four-year rookie contracts. The high-ranking rookies of the 1992 generation  Most of the rookies have reached the contract year. How did they perform in the last half of the contract year

    Tonight¡¯s matchup between the Lakers and the Mavericks happens to bring together many outstanding players from the four draft years from 1992 to 1995.

    Jim Jackson, the 4th pick in 1992, Anthony Peeler, the 15th pick, and Doug Christie, the 17th pick.

    Jamal Mashburn, the fourth pick in 1993, George Lynch, the 12th pick, and Van Exel, the 10th pick in the second round.

    Jason Kidd, the second pick in 1994, and Zhang Hao, the ninth pick in 1995.

    Even if Jamal Mashburn was reimbursed for the season early, this game has become a key research game for many teams to pay attention to talented players in recent years.

    Because there is no priority matching right for the parent team these days, since players are more willing to enter the free market, every summer there are players whose rookie contracts expire, causing many teams to compete.

    What each team wants to compete for is not only the top players, but also role players, such as George Lynch, Anthony Peeler, Doug Christie and others who are highly sought after in the free market.  On the contrary, it is more likely. It is uncommon for top stars to change teams these days, except for trades.

    Of course, the four top young players, Kidd, Jim Jackson, Zhang Hao, and Van Exel, are attracting the most attention from scouts from each team.

    Zhang Hao performed well in the first half of the first quarter. He easily scored 4 points in the beginning. Later, he scored a 2+1 that hit George McLeod in the back. Then he was ignored by the Mavericks and focused on defense. He scored 7 points and 1 rebound in the beginning.  1 assist.

    But Kidd¡¯s performance was even more amazing!

    Teams with a ball-carrying core prefer Zhang Hao, but not all teams have excellent ball-carrying cores. Kidd's playing style and ability, at first glance, are the type of player that each team wants to compete for to build the core of the team.

    Scouts are all amazed by Kidd¡¯s overall perspective, organizational skills, judgment, etc. in his second year. On the court, Lakers head coach Del Harris also feels a headache.

    The Mavericks have a shooter who is currently averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game and is almost certain to average 3+ three-pointers per game by the end of the season. They have a group of forwards with excellent athletic ability, and Kidd leads this group of players.  Running and gunning, when the team's offense is not good, Jim Jackson, who is physically strong and has comprehensive skills, can play in isolation It really gives the Mavericks confidence, and the Lakers may not be able to deal with it!

    It was going smoothly before the All-Star break, but after the All-Star break, the extremely hot state was gone, and Del Harris was not comfortable as the head coach.

    Although he doesn't like the rookie, he and the rookie have the same goal - 60 wins!

    Not only is it 60 wins, Del Harris also wants to win the Western Conference regular season championship.

    There is a regular season championship every year, but not every coach has the opportunity to win it, not every coach can win it, and not every coach has the opportunity to fight for it.

    Now they, the Lakers, have a chance.

    The key thing is that when facing these non-playoff teams, you have to win.

    "This old man is really difficult to deal with. This broken lineup is really difficult for him"

    Mavericks coach Dick Motta is a very good head coach. The 64-year-old is already in his 24th season of coaching. His most famous student is Jerry Sloan.

    Dick Motta was extremely good at developing rookies and building the lineup. Mashburn's retirement at the beginning of the season was a huge blow to the Mavericks. Originally, they were rushing to hit the playoffs, but after half a season, Dick-  Motta Leng made the Mavericks' record better again through the exploration of the players in the team.

    When Mashburn comes back, there will be a more powerful small forward Del Harris feels that the Mavericks will become their Lakers' rival in the future!

    "The point is Kidd! To interfere with Kidd's offense, Nick and Anthony are not strong enough, George and Doug are not fast enough, and Sedale is not tall enough Huh? Heightp; "The backboard protector (bronze) is triggered. Zhang Hao will block the rebound perfectly this time"

    Zhang Hao predicted the landing point of the rebound. When he moved to grab the ball, the "backboard protector" was triggered with a 1/4 probability. He followed the idea that came to him and moved in the direction that was not the landing point of the rebound.  He moved a step and blocked Kidd!

    The ball flew out, Zhang Hao blocked Kidd and then stepped forward to grab the defensive rebound!

    After grabbing the rebound, Zhang Hao turned around directly and advanced the fast break!

    When he turned around, he happened to leave behind Kidd, who had been blocked and pressed forward but had no chance to grab the rebound. Zhang Hao rushed out of the three-point line and triggered the "full power alone"!

    Kidd reacted quickly and wanted to catch up. However, he, who was about the same speed as Zhang Hao and had a slight advantage in explosive speed, found that the distance between him and Zhang Hao was widening, and he could not outrun Zhang Hao who was advancing with the ball!

    Zhang Hao rushed to the opponent's free throw line. He didn't play tricks. He raised the ball and took two steps in a row, performing a one-handed dunk like the Statue of Liberty!

    25 to 21, the Lakers played a wave of 8 to 2, leading by 4 points!

    Really guarded it Del Harris didn't expect it, so he tried to let Zhang Hao guard Kidd. Zhang Hao chose not to guard, and then he guarded it!

    "This is the highest level of defense. Is not guarding the best defense?"

    In fact, Kidd was only stunned for two rounds. In the next attack, he decisively broke through from the right, directed Lauren Meyer to come to the right side of the three-second zone to block the moving Zhang Hao, broke into the inside and passed  Out to Jim Jackson who ran to the free throw line to catch the ball.

    However, Jim Jackson missed the mid-range shot. In turn, during the Lakers' offensive and defensive transition, Doug Christie decisively caught the ball and rushed inside to score the ball and caused Lucios Jones, who was retreating, to be fouled and scored 2.  +1, the Lakers scored in 5 consecutive rounds, establishing a 6-point lead, and they had to add penalties!

    The Mavericks' offense really stalled for just a few rounds, and then the Mavericks' offense played very well again.

    But the Lakers already had the advantage. Although they couldn't defend themselves from behind, they steadily held on to this advantage for the rest of the first half.

    When Van Exel came on the court, he also focused on stability When Zhang Hao was on the court, he would work hard to play calmly and reasonably. With so many teammates who could shoot, he chose to sort out his offensive style.  What Zhang Hao said in the team meeting, Van Exel, who was so straightforward, took it to heart.

    Finally, at the end of the first half, the Lakers seized the opportunity, scored three goals in a row, and went on a 7-0 run. At the end of the half, the Lakers opened the point difference to 12 points!  64 to 52 entering halftime!

    However, what impressed everyone the most in the first half was the scene of Zhang Hao lifting up his trouser legs while riding a horse

 Chapter 155 155. Every cause must have its effect (5000 words please subscribe)

    Careful, steady, tonight, the Lakers have been focused on that.

    ? There are also benefits to winning all the time. For example, in terms of game attitude, the Lakers players have a "strong team mentality." To be more specific, it means that if they know something is right, they will implement it without hesitation.

    The Lakers learned the lesson from the loss to the Hawks in the last game. They don¡¯t waste time after taking the lead and are no longer blindly confident when they feel bad. They just pass when they should, and when they should shoot, they should also  Try to find the best shooting opportunity. Facing the Mavericks' defense, opportunities can be created with a pick-and-roll or a breakout after the pick-and-roll, so it is not difficult to execute this aspect.

    ????????? Mainly consistency, the Lakers held on tonight.

    The Mavericks tried to counterattack in the second half, but the Lakers had already taken the lead. The Lakers had just been stimulated by the loss. Magic also said something during the halftime break - "We haven't lost in a row since we got together.  "pass" and let this focus continue.

    From the third quarter to the first half of the fourth quarter, the two 3J players who tried their best to hit Zhang Hao tried hard to counterattack, and really kept the score tight, and at the most fierce moment, they narrowed the point difference to just one.  There were 4 points left, but the Lakers held on and effectively opened the point difference to about 10 points, playing patiently.

    Finally, after the official timeout of the fourth quarter, Doug Christie and Donyel Marshall each hit a three-pointer. The Mavericks' offense failed to score in the middle of the two hit three-pointers. The Lakers opened the point difference to 15 points in one fell swoop.  .

    At this time, even Kidd, who was more mature than other peers, panicked. Facing Zhang Hao's Zhamabu defense, he no longer took the initiative to enter the inside to find confrontation and create pick-and-roll opportunities as before. Instead, he tried to play in the third  Shooting from beyond the arc.

    But at this time, he was able to hit one of three or four three-pointers in regular time without pressure. So far this season, he has averaged 5.2 three-pointers per game and hit 1.6. But when he was nervous at critical moments, it was almost impossible for him to make one.  So far this season, his three-point shooting percentage in the fourth quarter is only 17%!

    ??Two consecutive strikes gave Zhang Hao a chance to counterattack and dunk, and gave the Lakers a chance to transition between offense and defense. Jason Williams made a layup and caused a foul on the opponent's Jim Jackson. He also scored an extra penalty.

    The point difference has come to 20 points!  111 to 91, the Lakers lead, and the game enters garbage time!  Mavericks coach Dick Motta called a timeout and announced his surrender.

    Kidd looked at the score and saw his performance of 7 of 20 shots Although he scored 18 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists, just shy of a triple-double, he really had no shame in staying on the court to collect statistics.

    He really didn't want to shoot so many times. He knew his ability. He felt most comfortable shooting about 10 times a game. However, when Jim Jackson was heavily targeted and fell into a positional battle, they couldn't find him.  Go to another offensive point with the ball.

    There was originally one!

    After Kidd returned to the bench, he glanced at Mashburn, who was sitting on the bench in a suit.

    "If only Jamal hadn't been injuredit's all his fault! If he hadn't been injured, would our current record be so bad? If we were in this situation, wouldn't we be able to find another singles point? Would that rookie be so proud?"

    Jim Jackson also expressed the same sentiment.

    ???????????In addition to his poor shooting tonight, Kidd made 1 of 7 three-pointers in the game. His performance in other aspects could not be better. Jim Jackson also had 24 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

    In fact, most of the time their team offense is no worse than the Lakers, but when it comes time to solve the problem individually, the Lakers have Zhang Hao, Doug Christie, and Van Exel, while the Mavericks only have Jim Jackson.

    Originally, Kidd had both emotions, the former being greater than the latter, but for some reason, the latter was the more dominant emotion, while Jim Jackson suddenly came up with the idea of ??"blaming Mashburn"

    125 to 107, the Lakers played steadily tonight, relying on creating several scoring breaks for the Mavericks, and maintaining stability at other times to play anxiously with the Mavericks, and finally successfully won the game.

    Zhang Hao made 9 of 16 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws, scoring 23 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

    Zhang Hao felt a little regretful about missing an assist, but winning was the best.

    "It's a pity that the Mavericks have so many top-five talented rookies, but none in 1995Forget it, I'm happiest when I win!"

    A man¡¯s happiness is that simple, whether it is playing games or competitions, he will be happy when he wins!

    Checked the progress of the new task

    "Is it true that if they work together to beat our team, it will repair the rift in their relationship?

    How do I feelThis current pillar of the team was targeted and suffered a 6-game losing streak.

    Both incidents were caused by Zhang Hao, so he was very "insidious" and became a topic of media hype.

    Sure enough, such a report can easily create a hot topic. Zhang Hao also has many fans. Recently, after the win95 super cup, which will be commonly known as win97 in China in the future, was released in January, the forum, an emerging communication tool, has been popular recently.  There has been a qualitative improvement in more than a month, and communication has become more convenient. Basketball enthusiasts in North America are increasingly using forums to communicate, and since then, the scolding war has begun.

    In terms of traditional media, opposition has also formed. Some newspapers and TV stations will report that Zhang Hao is smart and has high football intelligence later, after the topic has fermented.

    From the perspective of most fans, Zhang Hao is full of controversy. The media and fans have mixed views on Zhang Hao.

    But after Zhang Hao realized that he had become the protagonist of the hype again, he was not as easy to be guided by the media's public opinion as most players of this era. He keenly discovered that most of the time, in order to create topics, the media still very  Unity¡­¡­

    Small scenes, playing for the Lakers, that's it. Although Zhang Hao is gradually becoming more concerned about whether the fans like him or not, the media's evaluation, etc., but after playing for the Lakers for such a long time, this level of hype has become more and more important to him.  Within the acceptable range.

    What he pays attention to now is the next two powerful enemies!

    At noon on February 23, Zhang Hao followed the team to Houston. Tomorrow, they will challenge the defending champion Rockets away from home. The Grizzlies, their opponent on the 26th, can ravage each other, but when they return home on the 28th, they have to play against the Knicks again!

    The Rockets gained momentum after the All-Star break and felt like defending champions. The Rockets, who were originally in the early 50s and had been hovering between sixth and eighth in the Western Conference in the middle of the season, recorded 5 wins and 1 loss after the All-Star break.  The record is 30 wins and 24 losses, directly securing fifth place in the Western Conference.

    The Rockets currently have 28 games left to play, but according to recent media predictions, the Rockets are already considered to have the possibility of winning 50 games!

    This is scary. In other words, the media predicts that the Rockets may win at least 20 of the remaining 28 games!

    You know, the Lakers had 38 wins and 9 losses before the All-Star Weekend, and there were still 35 games left to play, but at that time few media predicted that they could win 22 of the 35 games!

    ??It must be blessed by the title of defending champion, and it is the defending champion twice in a row, so it is naturally easy to be optimistic.

    However, the media analyzed the specific content of the Rockets' strength and the Rockets did perform well, which made Zhang Hao and his Lakers pay more attention to the game against the Rockets.

    The probability of a first-round matchup is low, but if the Rockets secure fifth place in the Western Conference and the Lakers aim for 60 wins or even first place in the Western Conference, then the defending champion must be their imaginary enemy of the Lakers in the second round!

 Chapter 156 156. Terrible progress (5000 words please subscribe)

    The Lakers and Rockets both regard each other as imaginary enemies. Public opinion also generally believes that the Rockets will be ranked 5th to 7th in the Western Conference and the Lakers will be ranked 1-3. The two teams may compete in the second round of the playoffs.  The two teams playing against each other are naturally regarded as potential match-ups in the second round or first round of the playoffs.

    The match between the two teams was regarded as a preview of the playoffs. ABC TV and Time Warner Cable Sports, two national-level TV stations, chose to broadcast the game live, which attracted a lot of attention.

    At 6:40 pm on the 24th, the two teams entered the Comber Center in Houston.

    Old players and young players are always different. After Zhang Hao won the All-Star MVP, Kidd was full of fear and hostility towards Zhang Hao before playing against the Lakers. So when he saw Zhang Hao's eyes looking at the good show, Kidd  De's dissatisfaction with Zhang Hao suddenly emerged.

    Because Kidd and Zhang Hao are players of the same generation, and their careers have just begun.

    ¡°But when it comes to Olajuwon¡¯s status, All-Star voting champion, All-Star MVP and other things, it¡¯s natural to be happy if you can get it, but it doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t get it.

    Before the game, Olajuwon and Drexler chatted with Magic, Van Exel, and Zhang Hao of the Lakers. The off-court relationship was generally pretty good.

    Olajuwon saw that Zhang Hao behaved politely and always used honorifics when he heard Zhang Hao speak. He felt that Zhang Hao was really a gentleman off the court, but thinking about the recent unlucky O'Neal and Kidd Olajuwon was thankful.  There are no obvious flaws in my own skills. Otherwise, if I meet this guy, I might be in trouble at the end of the season.

    After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Hao returned to the bench and saw Jason Williams staring at the strange-looking substitute guard opposite him

    Zhang Hao had no intention of chatting with Jason Williams, but Jason Williams saw Zhang Hao coming and asked: "Akers, who do you think will win the best sixth man competition between me and Cassel?  "

    After a comprehensive analysis, Zhang Hao responded: "Kukoc's will win."

    With this answer, Jason Williams asked quite dissatisfied: "Isn't it possible for Cassel and I to win the Best Sixth Man Award?"

    Jason Williams has averaged 23.6 minutes per game so far this season, averaging 8.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Although his rebounding average per game only ranks tenth in the league, his rebounding efficiency is ridiculously high, higher than Rodman.  Rodman averaged 14.4 rebounds in 33 minutes per game.

    But based on his overall performance, Zhang Hao feels that Kukoc, who is the core of the Bulls' triangle offense and averages 13 points and 3.5 assists per game, has a slightly higher chance of winning the Best Sixth Man.

    However, if the Lakers really finish first in the Western Conference, it's hard to say, but if they are not first in the Western Conference, based on the selection standards of this era, Kukoc has the highest probability of winning the Best Sixth Man.

    Although Cassell performed better averaging 14+3+4 per game, it is almost impossible to win the Best Sixth Man.

    Of course, at the end of the first half of the season, Jason Williams, Cassell, Sabonis, Dell Curry, Chris Gatlin and others were also predicted to be likely to win the Sixth Man of the Year award, but  At that time, Kukoc was predicted to be ranked No. 1.

    After re-analyzing, Zhang Hao said to Jason Williams, who was looking at him expectantly: "If looking scary can also add points to the Best Sixth Man vote, you won't be Cassel.  opponent."

    "Maybe that guy will really scare the reporters into giving him more votes if he looks like that Wait! What do you mean? Stop and don't run!"

    Jason Williams responded before he could react. He wanted to hit someone on the spot, but Zhang Hao quickly jumped to the technical table. He could still cheat Zhang Hao with a group of people on the bench, but he went to the technical table in front of everyone  He could only sit down bitterly.

    ¡­¡­

    "Welcome to the game between the defending champion Rockets and the Lakers on Time Warner Cable Sports. I'm your old friend Hubie."

    "I'm Bill."

    "Bill, why did you introduce yourself so briefly today? Are you imitating Aix?"

    "Don't tell me about Ax!"

    "Hey, don't you always say that Akers is more like Bird every time you broadcast a Lakers game and ask him to play for the Celtics when his contract expires?"

    ¡°No, I don¡¯t like him now!¡±

    "Why?"

    ¡°I have an extra Lakers jersey at home!¡±

    "Aix cheated on you? Sorry, I didn't mean anything else, but it's just unlikely, right?"

    "Aix cheated on you! He's my son!"

    "Your son was cheated by Ax? That's possible. Ax and Luke are the same age. Bill, sorry, tell Luke, this is a mark of growth. Things like appearance are, the defensive end suddenly collapsed from being relatively good, not to being passable or bad, but directly to a black hole.

    When the Rockets attack, Zhang Hao shrinks faster this time. As soon as Olajuwon receives the ball, Zhang Hao directly flanks him. His position is also very purposeful, blocking the direction of the top arc.

    Olajuwon saw Van Exel's movement, but when Campbell came up to block the bottom line and the space directly to the basket, and Zhang Hao double-attacked to the line, he could only choose to pass the ball to Robert Howe at the first time.  Over there.

    As soon as Horry received the ball, Van Exel got close to him. Isolations were not his strong point, and he didn¡¯t stick to the ball, so he immediately passed it to Kenny Smith.

    When Olajuwon passed the ball, Zhang Hao immediately withdrew from the inside to cover Kenny Smith He did a very good defense this time!

    If Kenny Smith chooses his only strength at this stage, catching and shooting three-pointers, then Zhang Hao will most likely be able to interfere or even block him.

    But Kenny Smith is not a fool. On the contrary, he may be the smartest player on the Rockets. He has a very high basketball IQ. He breaks through immediately after receiving the ball, passes by Zhang Hao, rushes to close range, and uses his turn to attract Olajuwon.  With Campbell's attention, he took a close throw

    It's a pity that the Jets who almost stole the title of Human Movie Highlights Dunk King back then are no longer so agile. He jumped up in a hurry and didn't have enough explosive power. He chose to use his elbow to push the ball out, but he didn't control his strength well.  , iron!

    Campbell stuck Olajuwon, and the Magic took it back from Chucky Brown on the baseline to protect the defensive rebound!

    The opportunity has come!

    Zhang Hao, who had just stopped and stopped one step inside the three-point line, immediately started again

    "Triggered by riding alone (gold), because Zhang Hao is closer to the opponent's basket than all players on the field, this counterattack speed +10"

    Riding alone at full power!  At the beginning of the game, the speed of Zhang Hao, who was full of energy, soared to 100!

    The Rockets players retreated immediately when Magic got the rebound. Drexler and Robert Horry, the two outside players, immediately chased Zhang Haodesperate on the spot!

    Zhang Hao was like a bolt of lightning, and both of them had a ridiculous feeling at the same time - they had never seen a player so fast!

    Even Damon Stoudemire, who they thought was the fastest player in the league before, seems not as fast as this power forward!

    Zhang Hao rushed to the frontcourt to receive a long pass from Magic, rushed to the free throw line, took off with one step, turned 180 degrees with both hands and smashed the ball into the basket!

 Chapter 157 157. This rookie is a good person!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    Very beautiful defensive counterattack!

    Zhang Hao was very excited about this defense, he did it!  He even couldn't help but do a little fancy dunk.

    After the start of the All-Star Weekend, Del Harris regarded the Rockets as an imaginary opponent in the first or second round, because the Rockets are indeed the most likely opponent to face in the first or second round, which is the most likely opponent for their Lakers team.  Of course, you must be well prepared for the opponents you may encounter.

    In the few games after the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers only prepared for the game on the same day. Del Harris's coaching staff has been preparing for the game against the Rockets, and tonight, practice began.

    In the tactical preparations, Zhang¡¯s mission is not to say complicated, but it is by no means simple.

    One is to use mobility, height and wingspan to cut off the passing and receiving routes in the top arc of Kenny Smith, who averaged 1.4 three-pointers per game this season. The other is to seize counterattack opportunities at any time, because Olaju is there.  Wang's close-range defense dominates, and Drexler and Horry defend him in the mid-range. The area where he scores the most is exactly where the Rockets are good at defending. Even Jordan encountered the Rockets a few days ago.  He suffered a great deal, so Zhang must have suffered a lot too.

    Therefore, he must seize the opportunity to counterattack. This is his clearest aspect that may become a strong point in his offense.

    The first defense was poor and the contraction was not timely, but in the second round, Zhang did an excellent job!

    "Silver Fox is really good. He is worthy of being the man who led a 40-42 team to the finals and almost created a miracle"

    This successful defense led by Zhang Hao gave Zhang Hao a lot of confidence!

    Seeing Zhang Hao running back with a calm face, and then seeing the other Lakers players looking excited, although Olajuwon didn't understand why the Lakers players were so excited after Zhang Hao completed the dunk, even though the dunk was indeed very good, it was not  As for being so excitedbut that's the fact, Olajuwon feels a lot of pressure!

    Compared to the Lakers, the Rockets are definitely more well-known in terms of their style of play and player characteristics. As the two consecutive defending champions, although their record has not been great, the media attaches great importance to them and analyzes them.  On the same level as the Bulls.

    ??Kenny Smith, if the Rockets team doesn¡¯t care so much, they may not take advantage of it, but the Lakers will definitely take advantage of it.

    Olajuwon originally wanted to rely on his personal ability to play a wave at the beginning. The Rockets' strongest offense is the offense launched from his inside singles. However, the Lakers have a power forward with Zhang Hao's size and athletic ability.  With Zhang Hao's defensive improvement so much, the opposing coach's defensive strategy worked!

    The defensive strategy of the Lakers looks simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult. A team has done it in the past few games. That team is called the Bulls, and the core of the defense that implements such a defensive strategy is called Scott Pi.  Peng.

    Combining size, strength, movement speed, and blocking threats, Pippen's blocking threat is his pressing defense and stealing ability, while Zhang Hao is among the top ten in the league in blocks per game.

    After Kenny Smith advanced, Olajuwon pulled out from the inside. Kenny Smith immediately understood and passed the ball to Drexler.

    At this time, Olajuwon stood one step outside the free throw line, and Kenny Smith went to the right side of the top arc, not far away.

    This position is very good. The commonly known principle of darkness under the light is used very well, and it is used more deeply.

    Olajuwon is a great threat, and Kenny Smith is also a great threat from shooting in this area. The Lakers players will subconsciously think that Olajuwon is creating opportunities for Kenny Smith, and Olajuwon will attract the double attack.  , Kenny Smith voted, but he will unconsciously pay more attention to Kenny Smith.

    However, after Drexler caught the ball and passed to Olajuwon on the left, Olajuwon did not choose to support the ball, but held the ball and broke inside!

    On the weak side, that is, in the three-second zone on the right side, Zhang Hao, who was guarding Horry, focused on Kenny Smith on the right side of the top arc, but Van Exel was also focused on Kenny Smith and did not double-attack. The Magic guard  Unable to stop Olajuwon from breaking through, Olajuwon broke into the inside. Campbell, who stayed inside after switching defenses, did not move laterally enough after covering up Drexler. Olajuwon leaned against the Magician when he was close to him.  Strong core strength maintains stability and succeeds in breakthrough layups.

    Standard small forward style of play!

    It is true that Olajuwon's pure inside play is not as strong as Ewing's, his counterattack ability is not as good as David Robinson's, and his strength is not as wild as O'Neal's, but he is the one with the best comprehensive ability and the most comprehensive technology, with almost every ability.  They are all top three at the center position!

    The lack of a second line of defenseAlthough they did not replace the aging big center Pete Chilkat this season, they instead sent out a relatively small lineup. Horry, who is 206 centimeters tall, moved to the power forward position, and center Mark Bryant was also 206 centimeters tall.  Zhang is taller than all the players on the opponent's court.

    but¡­¡­

    "Old fox, are you sure I can guard against that guy?"

    Zhang Hao looked at the four teammates around him, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Magic, Jason Williams

    "Crazy Fan consumes a lot of energy in isolation, but guarding the point guard is his job! It doesn't matter if he gets tired a little more"

    I thought so, but after Zhang Hao came on the court, his attention immediately focused on the player he was about to defend.

    "Fuck! Magic damage! No! It's real damage!"

    When Zhang Hao looked at Cassel, Cassel happened to be looking at the Lakers' lineup and looked at Zhang Hao.

    Cassell saw Zhang Hao looking at him and showed a warm smile to Zhang Hao

    Zhang Hao, who felt his eyes were pregnant, tried to stay calm and looked at Cassell with a warm smile.

    Cassel was stunned for a moment.

    "first!

    This is the first time someone dared to look directly at me for such a long time!

    This rookie is a good person!  He is indeed a gentleman!  "

    Cassel recalled that during the last fight, Zhang Hao never showed any disdain towards him.

    In fact, Cassel felt ignored at the time, but at this moment he felt good about it, and his judgment of the situation at that time completely changed

    ¡°I really wanted to make friends with Zhang Hao, even if the other person seemed cold-hearted, Cassel also wanted to try to be hot-faced but cold-butt, but the referee blew the whistle to continue the game at this time, and Cassell had no choice but to give up.

    After the timeout, the Lakers attack and serve from the frontcourt.

    Doug Christie received the ball and gave it to Magic. Magic did not instruct Zhang Hao to post up. Although Olajuwon was rested, Zhang Hao's post-up move would be very effective against the Rockets, but Zhang Hao was so young.  Knowing how to rely on strength to fight back, the move of turning over and shooting a jump shot is much more energy-consuming than the post-up shots of Olajuwon and Jordan.

    Since Olajuwon has been replaced, the Lakers can play pass and cut!

    When the Magician came up, he used a beautiful ground pass to Donyel Marshall to create a counter-running and mid-range shot opportunity. Donyel Marshall lived up to expectations and hit a long two-pointer!

    Zhang Hao was very happy to be used as a containment point. Although he did not score or assist, he played an role.

    However, after retreating from defense, Zhang Hao started to feel pain in his balls. Cassel advanced!  And he saw Cassel¡¯s eyes shining when he looked at him!

    Zhang Hao suddenly thought: "Does this guy have any weird habits?"

    When Cassell saw Zhang Hao, he showed friendly eyes and joy on his face.

    However, he was also a little confused. When he pushed forward, he looked at his small body. At 191 centimeters and 87 kilograms, he was not thin. On the contrary, he was stronger than any other point guard. He could fight hand-to-hand with Kidd and Payton.  kind.

    But although the rookie on the opposite side is considered thin for his height, he is still much stronger than his point guard, right?  And even though he looks thin, his strength is pretty good among power forwards.

    As for that?

    and¡­¡­

    "Can he guard against me?"

    Cassel has plenty of confidence.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????? ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? their lives their lives.

    And he was very confident. When Olajuwon did not perform well in the playoffs during his rookie season, he dared to yell at him and show his ruthlessness. Of course, he was indeed right, and then won the Olympics.  Rajuwan's respect.

    He has seen clearly this world of looking at faces, and he also knows very well what it means to flock together.

    "He is a genius, so he may not pay much attention to a practical player like me who came from the bottom. Although he is good, but if I want to make friends with him, I have to let him see my ability!"

    After halftime, Cassel immediately became high-spirited!

    Zhang Hao, who was staring at Kassel, felt that his demeanor suddenly changed!

    Immediately focused, Zhang Hao not only did not despise Cassel, but paid special attention to it. In his opinion, Cassel, who has entered the golden period of his career, is definitely the Rockets' third star, and his role may not be lost to that of Germany.  Rexler.

    ? And there is

    "Sam Cassell, 26 years old, 191 cm tall, 87 kg in weight, ability rating 87averaged 26 minutes per game, 14.4 points, 3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game"

    In terms of strength and efficiency, he is not inferior to Van Exel at all!

    The rhythm of the Rockets lineup should not be slow, but Zhang Hao saw that Cassel was advancing slowly, but he grasped the rhythm very well, and pushed the general into the frontcourt despite the 8-second violation.

    Zhang Hao is already prepared for this, and Cassell has always been his key research target for the Rockets.

    Sure enough, outside the three-point line, Cassel suddenly accelerated!

    Zhang Hao decisively took half a step back to defend. After waiting for Cassel to determine the direction of the breakthrough, Zhang Hao did not follow him. Instead, he raised a hand high and chased Cassel.

    Cassell rushed to the inside, but failed to attract a flanking attack, nor could he really get rid of Zhang Hao, who was very big compared to him. He chose to take off, attach himself in the air, and avoid Zhang Hao's interference for an underhand layup Nothing  Enter!

    Jason Williams grabbed the defensive rebound with all his might!

    "Great job!" Del Harris, who stood up unconsciously on the sidelines, clenched his fists and shouted in his heart, but at the same time he had a question: "Damn kid, when did the big defense do such a good job? I should have known.  Just let him guard multiple positions earlyit will make him cry from exhaustion!"

    I would like to think so, but Del Harris understands very well that Zhang Hao just made better use of his physical condition. His real defensive skills still don't look good Of course, he has made great progress!

    Zhang Hao's defense just now can only be described in one word - quite satisfactory.

    There is no strong blocking and no advance prediction, it is the most common and conventional defense.

    However, with this kind of defense, Cassel was extremely uncomfortable playing!

    Why did Cassel advance slowly and then suddenly accelerate at the moment of breakthrough?  It's because his explosive speed is not particularly good, and his explosive power and jumping are just average.

    So he took the initiative to slow down his rhythm and made his opponents unable to adapt to the sudden change at the moment of the outbreak.

    Cassel is not afraid of those who are strong in predicting when defending against breakthroughs, nor is he afraid of confrontation The powerful defensive players he encounters are basically these two types, or a combination of the two.

    A player like Zhang Hao, who obviously has good physical fitness and strong reflexes, is so simple in defense, just like those defenders who are mediocre in defense and don't hold back But Zhang Hao is so big and can keep up with the movement. He is not one of those defenders at all.  Ordinary defenders can compare.

    This is the first time Cassel has encountered such a defense.

    ?Defensive first, Cassel assumed the role of leader when he came on the field.

    ??In the transition between offense and defense, the Lakers attacked. After Magic advanced to the frontcourt, he obviously found changes in the opponent's defensive end.

    In addition to his confidence and outstanding strength on the offensive end, Cassell also has his advantages on the defensive end. Defending him alone is average, but with cooperation??When he had an advantage at this stage, Van Exel pulled up and threw a three-pointer and scored!

    Immediately afterwards Olajuwon missed a long two-pointer, and then Van Exel made a shot, and Crazy Van attacked!  Another three-pointer!

    50 to 49, the Lakers once again took the lead!  At 6 minutes and 26 seconds in the second quarter, the Rockets were stopped!

    Van Exel was very excited after stopping the Rockets!

    At the same time, I am even more grateful to Zhang Hao.

    Previously, the Lakers were beaten 18-6 by the Rockets. During this period, Van Exel was cut off from his teammates and missed consecutive shots.

    Just when his mentality was about to collapse, Zhang Hao said to him, "Vote, I believe in you."

    That feeling of being trusted made Van Exel very excited. Next, he really scored two three-pointers in a row!

    Seeing Zhang Hao step out of the three-point line, Van Exel looked for a high-five and was stunned.

    Zhang Hao passed through Van Exel¡¯s world

    At this time, Zhang Hao's attention was completely focused on how to fight next - "Thankfully, the old fox didn't call a timeout, and Madman Fan just put his feelings out Will Dameng go down to rest next? He should use his physical strength  Let's save it for the second half. Just now he worked so hard to cut off the passing and receiving lines down the line, and he also worked so hard to guard against our speed Thanks to the old fox's trust, and thanks to Crazy Fan's two three-pointers  "

    Zhang Hao originally thought that his plan was about to collapse, but Crazy Fan saved the plan that was about to collapse.

    As everyone knows, Del Harris was stunned by Olajuwon¡¯s sudden effort to lead the team to an 18-6 victory

    This is not uncommon. Those top head coaches who have been coaching for many years and have a good reputation will have such experience. Even when the teams they lead are at their peak, they will inevitably encounter this kind of thing.

    It is true that Olajuwon played very well during that period.

    Zhang Hao returned to the bench, and Del Harris began to make arrangements: "Sadar, Doug, George, AldenAkers, you continue?"

    ¡°As he said that, Del Harris glanced at Zhang Hao and saw Zhang Hao nodding. Del Harris continued to arrange offensive and defensive tactics for positional warfare.

    The development of the game is no longer what Del Harris thought. Just now he asked Zhang Hao if he wanted to continue. In fact, he was asking Zhang Hao if such a rotation was feasible but even Zhang Hao didn't hear it.

    After making the tactical arrangements, Del Harris became even more sad and angry: "When do I need to ask him how to do things? I hope I can create an advantage through defense in the next period of time!"

    Use speed to offset the Rockets' excellent offense and defense when Olajuwon was on the court in the first half of the second quarter, consuming Olajuwon. If Olajuwon didn't play in the second half of the second quarter, then the Lakers would have a chance to create a lead.  Advantages - This is Del Harris's understanding of the rotation strategy that Zhang Hao thought of.

    Although there were surprises in the process, Del Harris felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Hao¡¯s idea. As long as the result was good, there would be no problem.

    This is also the reason why Del Harris stopped accommodating Zhang Hao this time.

    "Just cooperate with him tacitly for the time being!" Del Harris is still stubborn.

    But Zhang Hao had different thoughts - "Can we force Dameng out again before halftime to consume a wave?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 159 159. Jordan is going to be broken too!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    Del Harris¡¯ analysis of Zhang Hao¡¯s ideas and possible effects was correct, but there were some deviations in what the two wanted to achieve.

    What Zhang Hao wants is to do what he is best at¡ªexerting energy against the opponent¡¯s core players!

    The current situation allows Olajuwon to rest and play for a while, and maintain combat effectiveness when he comes on the court. Even if the Lakers have gained some leads, Olajuwon can partner with Cassel or Drexler.  Every time, the Rockets have a chance to catch up with the score, and there is a high probability that they can catch up.

    Regarding the game, Zhang Hao, as a player, is not as optimistic as Del Harris.

    It¡¯s not that Del Harris thought wrong. As a head coach, after arranging a rotation and a tactic, he must first be confident himself in order to give confidence to his players.

    Zhang Hao was very afraid of Olajuwon, who was still at the tail end of his peak. The 13 minutes Olajuwon played in the first half proved how strong Olajuwon was. He had just won two consecutive FMVPs.  The best center in history.

    ? Then in the end it is the ability to play key balls.

    Although Zhang Hao is not afraid of playing key balls, if he can, he will naturally choose a method he is better at.

    Otherwise, why would you want to take advantage of such an opportunity?

    After the game started in the second half of the second quarter, Cassel had a difficult time.

    Although the Rockets coach equipped him with a lineup that suits him such as Drexler, Sam Mack, Horry, and Mark Bryant, it is only a lineup that suits him within the Rockets team. This lineup is more  He showed his abilities, and Horry was the only one of these teammates who could help him. Drexler, Sam Mack, and Mark Bryant all needed him to feed the ball, and they could not complement each other.

    Originally, Zhang Hao could pick and roll and try to attack the basket, but now that Campbell and Mark Bryant are pure pie-eating blue-collar players at the basket, they can only split the wing, but Doug Christie's defensive intensity is better than that of the Rockets.  The team expected to be stronger. George Lynch is the best defensive player on the Lakers' forward line and guarded Horry very well

    In addition, the Lakers' offense is very fierce!

    Once the Rockets failed to make a shot, Zhang Hao immediately looked for an opportunity to counterattack. If the counterattack failed, the Rockets retreated in place or were limited by the passes of Doug Christie and Sadler Slater and failed to counterattack.  Just start beating while sitting.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s baseline back-up play has a big flaw. His playing style is very simple, but it is very unsolvable when the conditions are right.

    Horry, Drexler, and Sam Mack all tried to defend, but they couldn't!

    Originally, what Del Harris wanted was to play steadily, counterattack if he had a chance, and take his time if he didn't. It would be enough to have a five or six point difference before halftime, so as to preserve the strength of the core lineup and Van Exel.  and Magic both saved their energy for the second half, allowing Thadler Slater and Doug Christie to lead the team with their height and defensive advantages.

    But Zhang Hao exerted his strength in positional warfare and strengthened his positional warfare offense, and he scored an 11-4 victory!  With two minutes left in the first half, the Lakers led the Rockets by 8 points 61 to 53, stopping the Rockets again!

    At this time, the Rockets have seen the Lakers' strategy - to force Olajuwon to play and consume Olajuwon.

    Rudy Tomjanovich made this judgment based on the fact that Olajuwon was forced to move to a high position early in the game and start a more consuming style of play.

    ¡°As for Del Harris, he only now understands Zhang Hao¡¯s real goal He is very excited. The current situation is indeed better than he expected, and the probability of winning is greater!  At the same time, I am also very happy.

    "Fortunately, I didn't ask too much, otherwise I would have looked stupid. Fortunately, I took the initiative to take the rotation Humph, this damn kid is just lucky!"

    ¡­¡­

    Seeing that the point difference was about to be widened to more than 10 points, Olajuwon came on the court early to save the building from falling.

    After he comes up, the players who are guarding Zhang Hao from behind have to do a simple job. Just stay close to Zhang Hao without worrying about Zhang Hao turning around, and work hard to get close to Zhang Hao without giving Zhang Hao a chance to easily turn over. Olajuwon can make up for the defense in place.  .

    In addition, Drexler, Horry, and Olajuwon are all there. The Lakers' mid-range is restricted by the Rockets, and the Lakers' offense becomes Zhang Hao and Doug Christie shooting from the outside.

    In the last two minutes, the Rockets went on an 8-4 run. After halftime, the Lakers led the Rockets by 4 points, 65-61.

    The situation is very clear, and the Lakers players also understand their strategic intentions after the start of the second quarter tonight. I feel that our Silver Fox is the best!

    Because Zhang Hao unexpectedly defended the Rockets' attack with Olajuwon in the low post at the beginning, Olajuwon went all out in the high post from the beginning.Because of Jordan¡¯s superb performance this season, he is regarded as the ceiling of basketball, so Zhang Hao¡¯s nickname of ¡°fucker-sky¡± became popular again

    Zhang Hao, who helped the team win 5 consecutive victories, once again became the focus of attention.

    Last night, the Bulls lost to the Suns 96-106 in an away game and their 11-game winning streak was ended. However, the end of the winning streak was not as popular as the Lakers' 5-game winning streak and Zhang Hao's 40+ points.  high!

    It was very quiet on a charter flight from Phoenix to Chicago as everyone watched the best player in the world get angry.

    ¡°If I win more than them and don¡¯t get as much attention as them, if I lose and still don¡¯t get as much attention as them, what else do I want?¡±

    On the other side, the Lakers¡¯ road trip continues.

    When the team staff started handing out down jackets on the plane, Zhang Hao roughly understood why the Grizzlies' time in Vancouver was so short and why Francis would rather be stigmatized than go to play for the Grizzlies.

    It¡¯s the end of February, and it¡¯s still freezing and snowing in Vancouver!

    Forget it, when it came to the game on the night of February 26, Zhang Hao saw that there were only less than 10,000 spectators at the scene, and most of them came for Zhang and Magic, so he knew that this team was in  This place is bound to lose money every year.

    Zhang Hao played very hard in this game, and he only remembered two of the opponent's players.

    One is former Lakers scorer and future Lakers coach Byron Scott. When several new teams drafted players after the end of last season, the Pacers did not put him on the eight-man protection list.  The Grizzlies took him.

    The other one is this year¡¯s No. 6 pick, BryantRivers.

    22 years old, 213 centimeters tall, 125 kilograms of huge tonnage, solid basic skills, excellent post-up play, very good and active rim protection, and a white man. So far in his rookie season, he has averaged 13.8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block per game. In the Grizzlies  In this league's last team, he can still limit his opponents to only 101 points per 100 possessions. Indeed, the Grizzlies did a good job in selecting this time.

    But the rest of the Grizzlies are so bad. Their core point guard Greg Anthony was a backup point guard for the Knicks for the first four years of his career. By the time the Grizzlies averaged 14.4 points per game, they led the scoring team. Bryant Lee  Firth, a player who averaged 13.8 points per game, is the Grizzlies' second-leading scorer

    The offense was poor and the defense was also poor. Facing such an opponent, the Lakers were just playing for fun. 114 to 90, the Lakers happily won a big victory!

    Zhang Hao played a few minutes in each of the first three quarters, and played a total of 24 minutes in the three quarters. He made 8 of 14 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, including open opportunities, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist.  2 blocks of data, clocked out!

    Although he was happy to win against such a weak team, Zhang Hao was even more happy to defeat the top 8 picks in the same session and get the 10-day lifespan reward!

    With 6 consecutive victories, the Lakers improved their record to 44 wins and 10 losses!

 Chapter 160 160. Aix!  (5000 words please subscribe)

    Won 6 out of 7 games after the All-Star break, a very exciting performance.

    On February 27, when the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, they attracted a large number of fans to pick up the airport. Although it did not clog the airport like the several pick-ups during the 17-game winning streak, Los Angeles fans are very adaptable to these aspects.  Strong, but still exciting for the Lakers players.

    Because they also understand the peeing nature of Los Angeles fans, this is enough to make some Lakers players float.

    Such a situation will make the players more confident and in high spirits.

    There are definitely benefits. If the Lakers are in the same state as they were during their 17-game winning streak, they will be in high spirits and confident, and they will play better.

    It's just that for the current Lakers, they have won 6 consecutive games, but the 6 games they have won, except for the Rockets, which is a team in the playoffs, the other 3 opponents have a total of 5 games.  The top three in the department.

    On February 28, the Lakers¡¯ last game in February, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Knicks at home.

    The last time Zhang Hao scored a 60+ triple-double at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks were nailed to the pillar of shame. This time they came to Los Angeles with endless motivation, hungry desire to win, and full preparation  ¡­

    After the whole game, the Lakers were obviously a little lazy again, feeling that if they won once, they would have a chance to win again.

    As a result, five Knicks players scored in double figures, and all five players scored at least 15 points. Among them, Ewing made 11 of 18 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 rebounds.  assists.

    Anthony Mason Jr. had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, Derek Harper had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Hubert Davis had 15 points, acquired by the Knicks in a trade after the All-Star break.  New player Willie Anderson, the 10th pick in the 1988 draft, scored 16 points

    The Lakers also had 4 players score in double figures, but their shooting percentage was much worse. Zhang Hao made 8 of 20 shots and 7 of 9 free throws to score 23 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

    In addition, Magic had 10 points and 8 assists, Van Exel had 16 points and 4 assists, and teammate Jason Williams had 11 points and 14 rebounds with 7 offensive rebounds.

    99-114, the Lakers suffered revenge at home against the Knicks.

    After losing to the Knicks, the Lakers' record became 44 wins and 11 losses. Fortunately, the SuperSonics also lost two games after the All-Star Weekend, and their record was 42 wins and 13 losses.

    After that, the Spurs had 40 wins and 14 losses. The Lakers still have some advantages and have not been overtaken for the time being. They continue to rank first in the Western Conference.

    ¡­¡­

    February 29, the last day of this month, Zhang Hao and April Clark were walking on the streets of Hollywood.

    Although the cultures of the East and West are different, they are both in the northern hemisphere and have similar climates. When the United States reaches its coldest period, most of the holidays are on vacation. By the end of February, the weather in Los Angeles is getting warmer and warmer, and celebrities have begun to work busy.

    Walking on the street, you can see celebrities passing by on the go.

    Of course, Zhang Hao, who walked with April Clark, was also regarded as a star by other tourists.

    "I thought you would be unhappy after losing the game, as depressed as you were after the game against the Eagles, but I didn't expect you to take me out to play." April Clark was quite happy.

    Zhang Hao smiled and shook his head: "Losing is normal. The Bulls will lose, and of course we will lose too."

    "You should smile more, you look really good when you smile!"

    "But I just want to show my smile to you alone."

    As soon as these words came out, April Clark couldn't be happier. After a while, she rolled her eyes at Zhang Hao and said, "I'm usually honest, but I didn't expect him to be a pervert. His mouth looks like it's covered in honey."

    When we go out to play, the entertainment options are very simple. We don¡¯t go to the beach or go to a nightclub to indulge. We just find a place to take a walk.

    As we walked, April Clark asked, ¡°Why did you ask me out for shopping today?¡±

    "February 29th only comes once in four years, so of course we have to come out and have some fun."

    "Then why do you come here? Although I like it very much, I also want to perform in the theater here in the future"

    ¡°I have work to do during dinner later.¡±

    "Humph, I knew it was a good idea to take me out to play!"

    Looking at April Clark who was deliberately making an angry expression, it was so delicious that Zhang Hao really wanted to bite it From the street market, no, you have to hold back, otherwise you will become a performance artist.

    Zhang Hao responded: "You are wrong. I am taking you out for a walk to complete the work."

    "That's pretty much it"

    April Clark held Zhang Hao¡¯s forearm tightly,, Kazuo Tsuburaya breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Hao only wanted China's interests. He even wondered whether he had met a fake Zhang Hao today, or whether someone had deliberately plastic surgery to look like Zhang Hao to deceive him.

    Now when it comes to the matter of dividing money and giving the other party the real benefits in his mind, Tsuburaya Kazuo finally feels relieved

    The negotiations went smoothly. Neither Henry Thomas nor Pelinka were the kind of people who wanted to push each other to the bottom line. The dividends they wanted were based on regular market prices. They just wanted to develop Zhang Hao's business value, not let him  Zhang Hao had a bad reputation and was ostracized by his sponsors.

    After the preliminary agreement was drawn up, Zhang Hao said: "By the way, Mr. Tsuburaya, can my girlfriend also appear on the scene? I will pay the salary for voluntary labor."

    When I asked for a role for April Clark, I discussed it while shopping in the afternoon. It doesn¡¯t have to be a heroine, just an occasional appearance.

    "Of course, of course, there will be remuneration, and it will be according to the standards." Kazuo Tsuburaya agreed.

    This is a small matter. There will be several beautiful actresses in Ultraman as standard, they are all vases, no matter who you choose, they will be the same.

    Anyway, this filming location is in the United States, and the script is tailor-made for Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao's profession is still an NBA player, but privately, he is a collaborator of the Earth Defense Force, and his more secret identity is Ultraman who saves the world.

    There are American actresses in the cast, which is so normal.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But I still don¡¯t feel at ease, I have to make Zhang Hao more satisfied. Kazuo Tsuburaya said even more anxiously than Zhang Hao: "Mr. Zhang, I hope you can contact us as soon as possible about jointly establishing Ultraman China Company"

    ¡­¡­

    "Yes, we have negotiated with Tsuburaya Company, and I will leave the details to you, Dad."

    ¡°You¡¯ve thrown another bunch of things at me, you little brat, do you want to tire your father and me to death?¡±

    "He who is capable has more work to do. I am not good at this, so of course I have to take care of it as a father."

    "Okay, okay, you play the game well, you don't have to worry about these things"

    After negotiating with Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company, Zhang Hao reported the latest news to his father Zhang Weiguo, who had already reported it, and stopped caring about the matter.

    Next, Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company will start preparations. In the summer, they will start shooting in Hollywood. He will memorize the script and then act it out. There will also be an action director for the action

    Others, the true colors appear.

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s a new day. After a day¡¯s rest, the Lakers will continue their journey this season.

    Tonight¡¯s opponent is the Washington Bullets.

    Having just lost a game, his teammates were a little frustrated but wanted to prove themselves. Zhang Hao felt it.

    After Jason Williams came to the arena, he found Zhang Hao and asked: "Akers, do you think we are really not opponents of the top teams and are just a regular season team?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 161 161. Let him get used to everything here (5000 words, please vote for me)

    Looking at Jason Williams, who was in a state of tears again, Zhang Hao felt that this guy regarded him as his close brother!

    But I was a little curious and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

    "We thought we could beat the Knicks the day before yesterday, but we lost so miserablyAre we too confident in ourselves?"

    "We are no longer a strong team if we lose to the Knicks?"

    ¡°We haven¡¯t beaten the top four teams in the East and West since the All-Star break.¡±

    "The opponent we played against was the Knicks, a top four team in the East and West, and didn't we beat the Rockets? Who do you think is better, Olajuwon or Ewing?"

    "Of course it's Olajuwon. Ewing almost cried when he was beaten by Olajuwon the year before last."

    "We beat Olajuwon."

    "That's right"

    Jason Williams became the happy big boy again, running to figure out how to play a greater role on the defensive end.

    Zhang Hao is not very optimistic about this, but he supports it. Working hard is better than not working hard. He just said that his expectation for Jason Williams is that Jason Williams can better protect rebounds. Just do this well.  Yes, many are surprises, but having none is good enough.

    It does not mean that every teammate must be omnipotent and proficient in offense and defense.

    Just as I was preparing to continue training, another lost teammate came

    "Exel, how can I be like you?" Van Exel's eyes were very serious.

    "Plastic surgery."

    "I'm not talking about your looks! You know how handsome you are, right?" Van Exel suddenly became irritable. The key is that Zhang Hao was also very serious when he answered!

    "Then you have nothing inferior to me, so why do you want to be like me?"

    ¡°I¡¯m not talking about the ability to play, and you¡¯re not worse than me at playing.¡± Van Exel responded, paused for a moment, and continued: ¡°I mean, how can I be as calm as you?¡±

    "Why?"

    "The day before yesterday I was very confident that I could beat Harper, but he beat him. I felt very frustrated, but you are always looking forward to the next game. You will be calm if you score 60 points or lose."

    "That's my characteristic. You have your own characteristics. We need you to be crazy at any time, not calm."

    "My characteristics?"

    "Yes, if we want to win, we cannot do without your characteristics."

    "I understand, thank you, Ax!"

    Watching Van Exel leave happily, as the youngest player on the team, Zhang Hao occasionally has to serve as a psychiatrist, which is really helpless.

    But he felt that it was pretty good.

    The magician who had been paying attention to him stepped forward and said with a smile: "Cool-guy, it feels good to be a leader."

    Zhang Hao shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

    "Aix, you can't always be like this. You have to bring out your strengths. Although you are only 19 years old, you have leadership charisma that no one else will have in their lifetime. You should be a born leader"

    It¡¯s here again Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t think he¡¯s that worrying, right?

    How come wherever you go, the strongest and highest-status person will gradually turn to skin?

    ¡­¡­

    After the Lakers¡¯ preparation training in the morning, the logo man and Jim Buss found Magic.

    The logo man asked: "Erwin, how is Aix doing lately?"

    The magician responded: "He is now more and more accustomed to being a leader, although he is unwilling to admit that he is a leader."

    The logo man nodded: "He will always get used to it. All we have to do is let him get used to everything here, so that we can have the greatest confidence in renewing his contract."

    "Aix has played so well with us, so extending the contract shouldn't be a problem, right?"

    Both the magician and the man with the logo were speechless. They looked at each other and felt that the other had the same idea - wouldn't the boss's stupid son pay attention to the news besides scheming?

    The Magic didn't want to talk to Jim Buss, and the man with the logo responded: "I don't know what medicine Dolan took wrongly. He insisted on pushing for a round of arbitrary contract terms, and also promised that if the terms are passed, American cable TV will increase the number of teams from next season."  According to the live broadcast, many teams have been shaken I think one of his targets may be Akers. When Akers' contract expires, Ewing's career will almost come to an end."

    TV station, Jim Buss thought about how his family had a small TV station back then, but it was too small and was eventually sold to Time Warner. I really envy Dolan.

    Think about itScience Center, away game against the Kings.

    The Lakers performed well in this game, showing off their usual good form. Among them, Doug Christie did a very good job defending Richmond, limiting Richmond to only 15 of 6 of 15 shots.  Points, one shot for one point, this efficiency is definitely a hindrance.

    Although the Lakers defended the Kings' athletic center Alden Polynice poorly, and was beaten by the opponent with a career-high 30 points in a single game, the player who averaged 11 points per game this season took 23 shots and represented the Kings.  There's really nothing left to do.

    Zhang Hao scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. It was a pity that he was just shy of getting his 19th 40+ game this season.

    But there were no regrets in the game. The Lakers defeated the Kings 105-95 and improved their record to 47 wins and 11 losses after playing 58 games.

    ¡­¡­

    On March 6, at 7 o'clock in the evening the next day after playing the Kings, the Lakers came to Phoenix without stopping to challenge the Suns, who had a good momentum since February and returned to the playoffs.

    Barkley's personal performance this season is at MVP level, with a very high victory contribution rate. He has played 50 games so far this season, averaging 23.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. He has a shooting percentage of 50% and averages 1.1 three-pointers per game.  points and a 33% three-point shooting percentage

    However, Dan Marley left and Danny Manning was reimbursed due to injury The Suns, which had at least 56 wins in three consecutive seasons since acquiring Barkley and 59 wins last season, fell.

    Relying on the wave of 10 wins and 3 losses in February, the Suns are currently 25 wins and 24 losses, barely ranking seventh in the Western Conference, but the record gap with the eighth Kings is not big.

    However, since February, the Suns' strength has obviously improved, and the shadow of the 59-win team last season can be seen slightly.

    Tonight, facing the Lakers in the second back-to-back game, Barkley played very well, making 10 of 16 shots, including an astonishing 3 of 3 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 28 points and 13 rebounds.  3 assists performance.

    Kevin Johnson, the key player in the Suns' recovery, also scored 14 points and 10 assists tonight.

    The most amazing thing is that Michael Finley, whose playing style is simply copied from Michael Jordan, made 8 of 12 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He came off the bench and scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and went up against Zhang Hao.  .

    On the other hand, the Lakers' performance was average, scoring 101 points. Zhang Hao had 23 points and 6 rebounds, Magic had 7 points and 9 assists, and Van Exel had 21 points and 6 assists. Although the offensive end was not good,  But not too bad.

    It¡¯s just that the defensive end was very poor.

    101 to 114, the Lakers lost away!

    ¡­¡­

    The away games are back-to-back, which is the beginning of this wave of 4 consecutive away games.

    The back-to-back performances of 1 win and 1 loss did not bring as much negative emotions as the previous losses for the Lakers, who were beginning to accept the loss.

    ??And there is insufficient preparation time for these two games, and the Suns are waiting for work

    Because the Lakers only focused on one team during their four-game trip, and their next opponent was the Seattle SuperSonics!

    After losing to the Suns, the Lakers' record of 47 wins and 12 losses is only half a game ahead of the 47 wins and 13 losses of the SuperSonics!

 Chapter 162 162. Championship culture (5000 words, please vote for me)

    So far in the season, the situation has become very clear.

    The first tier, the Bulls with 52 wins and 7 losses, was the fastest in NBA history to win 50 games and had the highest winning percentage in the same number of games, surpassing the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1971-1972 season. It is worth mentioning that Baylor beat the Lakers that year.  In the team's first 9 games, they had 4 wins and 5 losses.

    After 9 games, Baylor retired. Starting from the first game of Baylor's retirement, the Lakers won all the next 33 games, and finally got a record of 69 wins and 13 losses, and the Lakers finally defeated them 4-1 in the Finals.  The Knicks win the championship.

    For that season, the biggest regret of many fans was why Baylor didn¡¯t retire earlier

    The second tier includes the Lakers with 47 wins and 12 losses, the Magic and SuperSonics with 47 wins and 13 losses, and the Spurs with 45 wins and 14 losses.

    The third tier includes the Jazz with 40 wins and 20 losses, the Pacers with 37 wins and 23 losses, the Rockets with 34 wins and 26 losses, and the Knicks with 35 wins and 24 losses.

    Of these 9 teams, except for the Lakers, the other 8 teams are considered championship candidates.

    In the description of the media and the perception of the fans, the Lakers are similar to the Eagles and Bucks who will win the first place in the Eastern Conference in the regular season in the future Even Lakers fans just roar "Lakers Championship" in a lively manner.

    Of course, this cannot conceal Zhang Hao¡¯s performance as the top rookie in modern basketball, averaging 26.7 points per game.

    In addition to the five teams in the West and the four teams in the East, there are also teams competing for the playoffs, the Trail Blazers, Suns, Kings, and the Warriors, whose star power has been demonstrated after some conflicts were resolved through robbery-style transactions.  4 teams compete for the other 3 playoff spots in the Western Conference.

    The Eastern Conference is a little more complicated. Six teams including the Cavaliers, Pistons, Hawks, Heat, Hornets, and Bullets are competing for four playoff spots.

    ? 47 wins and 12 losses, 47 wins and 13 losses, and 45 wins and 14 losses. These are the top three records in the Western Conference, belonging to the Lakers, SuperSonics, and Spurs respectively.

    With the results so close, the ranking competition is naturally extremely fierce. Coincidentally, the three teams will play against each other twice in the competition from March to April.

    Of these six games, two were originally broadcast live in the United States, but now all six games are broadcast live in the United States.

    By this time, there are still 6 weeks left before the end of the regular season, and predictions for major awards have become lively.

    The mvp predictions are very unified. Regarding this aspect, the hottest topic at the moment is - can Jordan, who has not won the best of the month in 4 months, win the best of the month in the last two months?

    There was no suspense about the Rookie of the Month award early on. After Zhang Hao won the Player of the Month award, there was no suspense at all.

    The predictions for the best defensive player are very interesting. Payton is first, Jordan is second, Pippen is third, Mutombo is fourth, Rodman is fifth, David Robinson is sixth, Olaju  Wang is seventh, O'Neal is eighth, Mourning is ninth, and Kemp is tenth. The Bulls team has three players ranked in the top five in the prediction of the best defensive player!

    ¡­¡­

    On March 7, the Lakers came to Seattle.

    There are three consecutive days of rest in away games, and the next game is played on the 10th. Such a schedule is indeed quite strange.

    But the Lakers did not return to Los Angeles, but came directly to Seattle.

    The biggest favorite for Rookie of the Year, after arriving in Seattle, he made a date with a girl and walked around in a business district in Seattle with her in his arms.

    "Lelin, the climate here is very good! The greening is also great"

    "Of course, Seattle is the best city in the world! Come here, brother, there is delicious food!"

    "Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. What will you do if you become a fat man in the future?"

    Having said that, Zhang Hao carried little Loli to the dessert shop he pointed to and put her down.

    The expression on the little Lolita's face when she eats delicious food is a joy. Just by looking at it, Zhang Hao can guess how delicious that snack is.

    While enjoying the food, the little Loli suddenly asked: "Brother, doesn't he like fat girls?"

    "Why are you asking this?"

    "If you are curious, please tell Le Lin what kind of girls my brother likes? For example, the figure."

    "Uh" Zhang Hao originally wanted to be perfunctory, but when he thought about the fact that these girls in the United States were so good-looking when they were teenagers and how fat they were in their 20s, he immediately said: "Yes, I like thin ones."

    Think about Britney in the future, and then look at the little Lolita in front of you On Britney's side, Zhang Hao knows that Britney will be fat in the future, and has seen how fat she looks, which is disappointing, but the little Lolita can't  Gain weight!

    Hearing this answer, the little Loli suddenly felt that the Baumkuchen on the dinner plate no longer smelled

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ? and I had a lot of fun playing with my little girl all afternoon, and I didn¡¯t finish eating something.?We returned to California together, came to Oakland in the Bay Area, rested for one night, and on March 12th, we challenged the Warriors away from home.

    After the Warriors voluntarily gave up most of their talent, they played better than before when their talent overflowed.

    A lot of conflicts have been reduced. The rotation of BJ Armstrong, Sprewell, Jerome Kersey, Chris Mullin, Bimbo Coles, and Joan Barry has been determined on the outside, and Joe has been determined on the inside.  -Luo Huan of Smith, Kevin Willis, Ronny Celica, and Clifford Rozier is indeed playing better.

    But that¡¯s it, no matter how well they play, they are still on the edge of the Western Conference playoffs.

    ???With the loss of Tim Hardaway, the Warriors basically lost the opportunity to become a top teamAny team that loses a point guard with some strength will plummet in strength.

    Facing the Lakers who want to bite after losing, the Warriors are a bit miserable

    Sprewell scored 28 points, Joe Smith scored 17 points, Coles scored 15 points, and Armstrong scored 13 points. Four people scored in double figures, which is very good. The Warriors scored 106 points.

    But the Lakers soared by 124 points!

    Zhang Hao and Campbell took advantage of each other's weakness inside. Zhang Hao scored 26 points and Campbell scored 20 points. On the outside, Van Exel scored 35 points. The three of them scored 81 points together, leading the Lakers to 124.  Than 106 slaughtered the Warriors!

    When the Lakers played the Warriors, except for Zhang Hao who abused Joe Smith again, not many people paid attention. Even when Joe Smith, the No. 1 draft pick, was abused, not many people paid attention. Garnett also abused Joe Smith not long ago.  Smith, Antonio McDyess went berserk every time he met Joe Smith

    But Joe Smith is not considered a parallel import. His performance of 15.5 points and 9 rebounds per game is not bad.

    Since then, Joe Smith has gradually become the "invisible" No. 1 pick. He will not be called inferior, and he will not be mentioned much when the best rookie is mentioned.

    With regard to the Lakers, the media still focuses on the Lakers vs. SuperSonics.

    The two teams played against each other two days ago, and the Lakers lost to the SuperSonics by 7 points. After their four consecutive away games, the Lakers' first game back in Los Angeles was to face the challenge of the SuperSonics!

    ¡­¡­

    On March 13, when the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, the SuperSonics also came.

    Back in Los Angeles, the Lakers came to the Great Western Forum Arena to prepare for tomorrow's game. The SuperSonics did not play in the past two days. After playing the Lakers, they rested for three days in a row. After arriving in Los Angeles, they immediately entered a state of preparation.  .

    After training ended that afternoon, Payton was going to walk around the town of Inglewood alone.

    When he just left the arena, he saw a picture that distorted his face

    A convertible Ferrari F50 drove out of the Lakers parking lot The person sitting on it was the opponent's super rookie!

 Chapter 163 163. My car is a gift from the sponsor (5000 words please subscribe)

    The competition for No. 1 in the Western Conference is heating up!

    The Lakers, who had been first in the Western Conference for more than a month after overtaking the Sonics in January, were overtaken by the Sonics.

    When the Lakers defeated the Warriors, their record improved to 48 wins and 13 losses. The SuperSonics had three days of rest after the last time they played against the Lakers. Their record was also 48 wins and 13 losses. The two teams had similar records. The SuperSonics relied on the strength of the Lakers.  The team has 2 wins and 1 loss, temporarily ranking first in the Western Conference.

    This time the two teams meet, if the Sonics win, they will directly defeat the Lakers to get a one-game lead, and gain the advantage of winning or losing in the regular season. In the end, if the two teams have the same record,  The Sonics can also edge the Lakers to the front.

    With the top three records in the Western Conference so close and their regular season performances so good, the advantage of winning or losing is very important.

    And for the two teams, this game is not just about gaining the advantage between the two teams. For the Spurs, David Robinson played particularly violently after the All-Star weekend. After the All-Star weekend, he averaged 26.2 points and 12 points per game.  4.4 rebounds and 3.6 blocks. Since February 25th, they have won 8 consecutive games. The record has reached 47 wins and 14 losses. They are firmly behind. After the entire All-Star Weekend until now, the Spurs have a record of 12 wins.  1 loss, catching up with the previous disadvantage in one go.

    With such a situation, the noble and cool Lakers fans also became nervous.

    At 6:40 in the evening on March 14, when the Sonics, who were about to battle the Lakers, entered the court at the Great Western Forum Arena, the scene was filled with manic boos that were rare in the regular season.

    Among them, when Sean Kemp and Payton entered the stadium, the boos reached a boiling point!

    ? ? 4 days ago, the Lakers lost to the SuperSonics on the road by 7 points.

    After the game, Kemp, who performed well that night, said proudly after the game: "Comparing that rookie with me is humiliating. His score is very high, but he is just a system player and a softie.  The pitcher, when he plays against a good team, he behaves the way he plays, he's a softie."

    Zhang Hao's response in the interview was: "He is right. I am very lucky. I have always had top point guards passing the ball for me since I entered the NBA. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to score such a high score. I think he should  I¡¯m jealous of having such a good point guard next to me.¡±

    The player that Lakers fans hate the most right now is Kemp.

    Look at Zhang Hao, what a gentleman, how humble, how low-key

    From the perspective of their own filters, Lakers fans feel that Kemp is an arrogant, arrogant and rude villain. This is the impression Kemp has always given people, so Lakers fans booed Kemp the most.

    Kemp¡¯s remarks failed to affect Zhang Hao, but offended Ewing, David Robinson, Pippen and others, not to mention the praise.

    As for Zhang Hao¡¯s remarks, before, when Payton first saw the news, he just curled his lips and smiled. Now, it¡¯s different!

    f50!  That rookie actually drove an F50!

    He also saw that car when he went to buy a car before. It was limited to 349 units worldwide. As an NBA superstar, the dealer in Seattle was willing to sell it to him without an appointment.

    But it¡¯s too expensive. The price of this car has doubled since it was released last year, which is almost equal to all the salary he got after tax this season. Although he just signed a big contract, he will get 5 times this season¡¯s salary next season.  Salary, but he still couldn't bear it.

    So he settled for the next best thing and bought the Ferrari F355 that Ferrari launched at the same time last year As a result, just a few days after he picked up the car, he came to Los Angeles and saw Zhang Hao driving that F50.

    Thinking of how a few days ago, I deliberately showed off loudly when Zhang Hao passed by

    Originally, Payton was just trying to bully the rookies and use a car that the rookies were reluctant to buy to psychologically attack Zhang Hao Now, Payton is really eyeing Zhang Hao!

    ¡­¡­

    Every time he steps on the court, Zhang Hao will be full of enthusiasm.

    Originally, losing to an opponent, and just 4 days ago, will more or less cause some negative emotions among the players of the losing team.

    During the warm-up, the Lakers players also had such emotions.

    However, after entering the stadium and feeling Zhang Hao¡¯s enthusiasm for the game, the negative emotions of his teammates were greatly relieved.

    Rather, the moment was enhanced by the focus brought by losing.

    Zhang Hao was very excited to play against a strong team like the SuperSonics, but his expression was very calm.

    After Del Harris finished his final emphasis before the game, he rubbed his head, which was aching due to not sleeping well for a few days, and looked at Zhang Hao's calm expression. Although he didn't like this face, it was better than what he thoughtHis height, alertness, and flexibility are all very strong, and he just avoided his steal.

    The Sonics' pace is brisk, and George Karl's team will not be slow. If it hadn't been beaten by the Nuggets two years ago, George Karl would have used the rim-protecting center Er with mediocre athleticism.  Vin-Johnson.

    Similar to the Lakers, the Sonics have a lot of people who can pass the ball. Four of the five starters averaged 2+ assists per game. As soon as Payton advanced to the center circle, he saw that his teammates had the opportunity to cut in and initiate an attack. He was about to go out.  The ball stopped!

    He saw the person guarding the top arc on the opposite side was Zhang Hao!

    Wherever you can't help it, the tool man Mr. Gentleman is online again.

    Pass!  Blow him up!

    Originally, Payton didn¡¯t have much resentment about losing to the Lakers in the first round last season. They lost in the first round despite winning 63 games last season. His hatred for the Nuggets lasts forever.

    But, just now, he was humiliated by Zhang Hao!

    Isn¡¯t it amazing how popular it is?

    Isn¡¯t it great that sponsors love you?

    I finally signed a big contract with an annual salary of tens of millions and bought a Ferrari to show off, but I was slapped in the face.

    "I'm so embarrassed, I have to find my place on the court!"

    When Payton ignored his teammates' opportunities and advanced beyond the three-point line, an even more angry scene occurred!

    He thought of his little brother who was humiliated by Zhang Hao - Jason Kidd.

    ??Also reminded of the defense they faced against the Nuggets in the first round of 1994

    Zhang Hao retreated from the top arc and took a big step to defend!

    Payton was furious, and then an even more angry scene appeared - the rookie on the opposite side seemed to feel that he hadn't let go far enough, and took another step back to the free throw line

    Rather than hesitating like Jason Kidd, Payton pulled up a three-pointer and shot directly when Kemp was close to the basket

    Two years ago, in the first round because he had no three-point ability at all and his season's three-point shooting percentage was 20%, Payton learned from the painful experience and worked hard to practice three-pointers after being hacked eight times in the first round. Last year, he made little progress, but this year,  There is already a 33% three-point shooting rate and an average of 1.2 three-pointers per game.

    Before there was a fierce confrontation at the beginning, he should still be sure of the three-pointer in a wide gap, just like training.

    But the mood swings were too great. When I shot, I aimed correctly, but the force of the throw was too strong!

    The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high!

    Payton¡¯s shot timing is good. When Kemp is moving inside, his teammates will still have a chance to rush if he can¡¯t make the shot.

    But Campbell got in timely and blocked Kemp who was accelerating towards the board. Payton could only pin his hopes on another inside man, Earvin Johnson Then he saw Zhang Hao turn from the free throw line and jump into the paint.  Irvin Johnson took the ball off his head!

    The front is empty, the three frontcourt players on the opposite side are all on the baseline, and there are two inside lines between the Magician Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound and immediately made a judgment and launched a counterattack!

    Irvin Johnson hugged Zhang Hao and threw him to the ground. Tactical foul!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 164 164. What kind of divine misalignment is this?  (5000 words please subscribe)

    The referee blew the whistle because he saw Earvin Johnson knocking down Zhang Hao, but from another angle, when Zhang Hao jumped out, Earvin Johnson hurriedly hugged Zhang Hao and couldn't stand still because both of them fell to the ground.  .

    But it was not a malicious move, it was just a rough foul. The referee gave Earvin Johnson a pulling foul.

    Zhang Hao took Campbell's hand and stood up. He felt the seriousness of the Sonics players, which was even higher than in the previous game!

    After defeating the Lakers once and winning by stabilizing the strategy very well, did the Sonics players underestimate the opponent or be careless this time?

    Absolutely not.

    It¡¯s not just because losing a game will have a huge impact on the final ranking.

    "He took a step back, not only betting that I wouldn't make the shot, but also noticed Sean's cut, knowing that Campbell would get stuck, so he stepped back closer to the basket to grab the rebound, and deliberately let me go to anger me.  I shoot the ball, knowing my weakest one is the three-pointer very smart, and that guy"

    When Payton ran back, he glanced at Van Exel.

    Before the last game, the Sonics didn't think the Lakers were that good. They lost last season, but neither Payton nor Kemp were as strong as this year, and Jose Hawkins hasn't come yet.  , this season both of their dual cores have significantly improved their strength and entered their peak period. The addition of Jose Hawkins is almost a perfect fit. At the beginning of the regular season, they played against the Lakers twice, with one big victory and one unexpected defeat.  Sedale Slater got the kill and had the advantage throughout.

    But in the last match, the Lakers' Van Exel was more comfortable in restraining their SuperSonics team. On the one hand, Van Exel was also improving, and on the other hand, their SuperSonics team cut off the Lakers.  The team's passing and receiving line strategy did succeed, but it gave Van Exel a better chance to attack.

    In this match, although there was no arrangement to fight against George Karl, and George Karl did not take the Lakers seriously, the SuperSonics players felt that George Karl had committed the same old habits from two years ago, and the coach was proud.  But they didn't. Last time they were almost overturned by Van Exel and Doug Christie's singles. The disadvantage was that they had a relatively large lead at the beginning.

    "We were defeated by their team offense last year. Is this year's strategy too focused on that point and too extreme?"

    Putting this idea aside for the first time, after retreating to the backcourt, he turned his attention to Van Exel. He had indeed been doing a poor job of guarding against Exel.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????You should encourage the other party, the more you talk, the more fun you will get.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? yesterday¡¯s opponent is also a rogue, definitely changed hands, we almost had a fight in the playoffs last year

    With this type of opponent, Payton really has no choice.

    At this moment, he just has a headache and cannot guard against Van Exel, a first-class star who has averaged 24 points per game against him so far in his career.

    He had no idea that in a few months, a 183-year-old player who performed at the Jordan level every time he faced him would join the NBA.

    After Van Exel advanced to the frontcourt, he wanted to continue the cooperation just now, but he saw Zhang Hao pull out and wait for the magician to rely on his unreliable three-pointer to defeat Schramm, who was not very defensive.  The husband brought it to the right corner, turned around and ran towards the basket, and then ran towards the basket!

    Zhang Hao came to the basket, and Campbell blocked Kemp with his solid body just as he said when he ran over. Earvin Johnson was not good at anything else, but his defense was okay. Kemp didn't have to fight with Irvin Johnson.  Johnson had too many exchanges and completed the defense switch smoothly. Van Exel on the outside tried to sneak into the basket but failed.

    But Zhang Hao leaned on Earvin Johnson on the left baseline and asked for the ball!

    Van Exelma passed the ball over, and Zhang Hao received the ball. Although his strength was not dominant and the iron elbow was of little effect, he still took the initiative to raise his arm sideways and bumped into it.

    Earvin Johnson is not afraid at all. What he is best at is using his strength to protect the frame and defend against back hits. He was hit in the chest so hard that the referee did not call it off, but he carried it.

    But at this time, Earvin Johnson was a little confused - in the last game, the rookie gave up after hitting him once in the back and failed. He was a very smart rookie. Why didn't he believe in evil this time?

    Just when Earvin Johnson was confused, Zhang Hao, who couldn't hit him after the collision, did not pull away and use his strength again. Instead, he followed the collision and pulled the ball to the left rear with his right hand and turned around!

    Earvin Johnson reacted immediately and retreated quickly, but the speed of his sideways movementnbsp; Originally, the SuperSonics¡¯ advantage was not that big. It was naturally restrained by Van Exel, but it still had an advantage. With a clear and effective defensive strategy, it would slowly take the initiative and open up the score.  Seal the victory.

    But because of Zhang Hao¡¯s x-factor, the Lakers couldn¡¯t defend themselves and the team¡¯s offense was still severely restrained. In addition to Van Exel, who could score stably, the starting lineup also had Zhang Hao!

    After Doug Christie replaced Magic, the Lakers had one more player who could score steadily. At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics scored 26 points, which was a good performance, but the Lakers also had 25 points.  !

    In the last game, the SuperSonics started with a 25-19 lead!  In other words, there is almost no advantage in this game!

    Zhang Hao Payton looked at the rookie opposite who calmly returned to the bench and sat down to wipe his sweat. Not only did this guy make him hate him, but his talent also made him feel terrible!

    Payton can see it, many players at the scene can also see it, many fans at the scene and many fans listening to the host's analysis in front of the TV can also see it. Compared with the previous game, Zhang Hao has improved again!

    Zhang Hao scored 8 points and 1 assist in the first quarter. The assist was an accident. Van Exel made a direct shot

    Thinking back to what I did in the first quarter - based on my own team's offensive line, analyzing the opponent's defensive movement line, creating opportunities to be flanked, and then predicting the opponent's way to prevent being attracted to the flank mainly after the last match.  Zhang Hao reviewed the game and saw too many things he didn't do well. He has been studying how to deal with it these days.

    The opportunity to play against the Sonics is very special. The interval between the two games is very short, and the opponent is stronger than them. And because they have Van Exel to play Payton, they are not particularly disadvantaged. The main reason is the Sonics.  The established defensive strategy is exactly the same as the last game

    Too many coincidental factors gave Zhang Hao new ideas about the use of review mode, and he implemented it decisively.

    He didn't think so much. The game just started. In view of how poorly he played in the previous game, he judged that the opponent's defensive strategy was the same as the previous game, so he put it into practice decisively. Anyway, there was already one game that he couldn't win.  Okay, if he continues to play poorly this time, he is just said to be inferior to Kemp. It is normal for a super power forward who is close to super giant level to be inferior to him.

    The result was quite smooth!  He scored in two consecutive rounds!

    And this, in the eyes of others, is awesome!

    In the last game, Zhang Hao made 3 consecutive iron + 1 mistakes at the beginning, all thanks to Van Exel.

    Just a few days later, Zhang Hao was able to score two goals in a row at the beginning, neither of which were shots from the point guard, but both of which were defensive.

    This is progress!

    The host exclaimed - genius is genius!  He is indeed a super genius who averaged 26+ points per game in his rookie season!

    In the first quarter, the SuperSonics' Payton + Kemp played fully, and the Lakers' Zhang Hao + Van Exel played fully. In the first half of the second quarter, the Sonics were led by Schrempf, and the Lakers were led by  Magic leads the team. At this stage, the Lakers' rotation lineup includes Thadler Slater, Doug Christie, George Lynch, and Donyel Marshall. The offense is pretty good. Just like the previous game, the rotation stage  In fact, there is no disadvantage.

    In the second half of the second quarter, the two teams returned to most of their starting lineups.

    There is an unexpected factor in a game. If there is a gap in strength between the two teams It should be said that if the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams playing against each other are not big, it will have a great impact on the entire game.

    As a winner, George Karl is an extremely confident and even stubborn head coach. Although the Sonics attach great importance to preparation training, their tactical strategy is to strengthen the successful defense in the previous game.

    It is correct to do so, but George Karl did not consider the second situation at all-what to do if he cannot defend alone.

    ? Then the players can only rely on their own on-the-spot judgment and defensive adjustments.

    Sometimes such adjustments are effective, but sometimes they are not effective. Which side the probability favors depends mainly on the specific restraint situation.

    For example, Payton took the initiative to adjust his defense against Van Exel and Zhang Hao tonight. He did a good job in limiting the number of shots after the latter's shot was accurate. But against Van Exel, not only did he fail to defend in the original singles,  I can hold on, because Zhang Hao's offensive threat has increased and he can't stop Van Exel from passing the ball!

    As soon as the second half of the second quarter started, Zhang Hao and Van Exel, who had discussed it during the break, came up with an exquisite cooperation.

    The first is to continue to distribute the ball from the high position. In fact, the effect of such distribution is not good. If Payton does not gamble to steal Zhang Hao, then he can provide Van Exel with one or half a body cut.  The lead has little effect on the Sonics' defense, and is far less powerful than Divac's high-post support.

    However, later Zhang Hao moved to the bottom line and Kemp went to help block Van Exel and Campbell with 4 defense and 3 and cut off Magic's receiving line. Van Exel passed to Zhang Hao and Zhang Hao attracted Kemp's counterattack.  After the defense, the pass was passed back to Van Exel who immediately stretched outside the free throw line!

    This time, Jose Hawkins did not dare to directly attack Zhang Hao. Kemp did not try to block Zhang Hao's pass to the wing. Jose Hawkins continued to stick to Anthony Pillar and Kemp really went.  Zhang Hao caught the ball and made a shot.

    With such a position, Zhang Hao successfully passed the ball to Van Exel, and Van Exel made a catch and shoot from outside the free throw line!

    It becomes more and more smooth to cooperate with the attack!  The Lakers finally found the loophole in the Sonics' defensive coordination and successfully exploited it!

    NBA head coaches are definitely much better at tactics, overall situation, and prediction of the game than most fans who have unlimited talk, but sometimes, their naivety and arrogance are also better than the fans.  Expect much higher.

    It is said that reality is more magical than fantasy, and it is clearly reflected in the NBA.

    Who would have thought that George Karl didn't have a plan when facing the No. 1 competitor in the Western Conference?

    He really doesn¡¯t, and it¡¯s not that he looks down on the Lakers at all, but that he wants to defeat the opponent with only one strategic plan just like the Lakers defeated them last year.

    ¡°Moreover, he really didn¡¯t think about anything else. He was only thinking about how to cut off the Lakers¡¯ team offense to the extreme.

    "However, they had actually achieved their best in the last game. He worked hard and studied it in depth. There must be improvement, but it was only from 91 points to 92 points.

    When the opponent found those few small loopholes, exploited them and amplified them, the Sonics' defense became more and more chaotic!  And George Karl called a timeout and couldn't make effective adjustments.

    At the end of the half, the Lakers scored 3 goals in a row. The SuperSonics failed to score 1 goal. The Lakers went on an 8-2 run and entered the intermission with a 59-51 lead at halftime!

    In the third quarter, the game became very simple. The Lakers played in isolation. Van Exel and Doug Christie shot in isolation with Zhang Hao and Donyel Marshall opening up the space. Jason Williams  Si is responsible for rushing.

    This lineup did not defend as well as the previous game, but the offense was good. The main reason was that the Lakers were 13 points behind at halftime in the last game. In the third quarter, they relied on defense + Van Exel and Doug Christie's defense to barely catch up.  points, but the point difference was too large and they failed to comeback in the end.

    Tonight, the Lakers entered the third quarter with an 8-point lead, and they played very unrestrainedly in the third quarter.

    26 ties in a single quarter. In this quarter, Payton, Kemp, and Schrempf tried their best to attack, but still failed to narrow the point difference!

    ? around Zhang Hao and Van Exel finally createdHard work, I haven¡¯t played a game against the Magic this year. Although the Magic have so many games as examples this season, their Lakers style of play is a team style and they have no star strength advantage against most opponents, so the discussion  The focus was on the recently popular "shark-killing tactic".

    It¡¯s not surprising that there was no result after a whole afternoon of discussion. It¡¯s strange that a solution can be found through pure discussion without even a single confrontation.

    After the tactical meeting, Zhang Hao was about to drive his recently popular sports car home when the subtitle prompt suddenly came!

    ¡­¡­

    The Hoyas defeated the Predators. Wang Zhizhi played pretty well. Unlike in the round of 64, when he only scored 2 points and 6 rebounds. He advanced alone with Iverson. Zhang Hao was very happy, but he immediately remembered  Pierce lost.

    This means that Pierce's University of Kansas is out of the round of 32 this year.

    After receiving the news, Zhang Hao called the manager of the University of Kansas Basketball Club and asked Pierce to pick up.

    Pierce thought Zhang Hao had watched the game without saying that today was his top 32 game, so he immediately called to comfort him, which was very touching.

    Zhang Hao saw that the other party had misunderstood. It happened that there was a team meeting and he felt a little guilty for not watching Pierce play.

    "Signed player Wang Zhizhi represented the Hoyas as a main player in the top 32 of the NCAA Basketball Championship knockout round. He played 26 minutes against the University of Kansas Predators and scored 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks on 5-of-9 shooting.  The Hoyas defeated the Predators to advance to the top 16 of the 1996 NCAA March Madness.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 9 days of life bonus. Since Wang Zhizhi is the first player signed by the host, the reward is doubled. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 18 days of life bonus.

    The remaining life is 1001 days and the usable life is 1000 days.  "

    After looking at the prompt again, Zhang Hao's little heart was still beating.

    There are no additional rewards when advancing to the top 32, but when advancing to the top 16, in addition to the 4 days of regular rewards, there are also 5 days of promotion rewards, totaling 18 days of life rewards!

    You can live for more than 1,000 days!

    Although there is a huge difference from the 19-year-old who should have a high probability of living for more than 20,000 or even 30,000 days, compared with the one-year lifespan countdown at the beginning, it is already like a dream.

    "If I play as a player for roughly 20 years, can I accumulate a life span of 50 years? If I serve as a coach for 20 years, can I accumulate a life span of 30 years? Become a centenarian? Live a world record?"

    After Zhang Hao¡¯s magical idea came up, the subtitle prompt came.

    "After analysis, if there are no unexpected circumstances, the host's final lifespan is 81 years old. Therefore, when accumulating lifespan, the host must be careful not to exceed the remaining lifespan, avoid waste, and have a reasonable service life."

    "Damn! You told me when I would die when I was 19, that's too much! Forget it, my life span is 1000 days, and there is one more silver lottery! The bronze lottery has also been refreshed!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 166 166. He really should come to Los Angeles

    ¡°There are no accidentsDoes this mean that if I don¡¯t have any accidents and have enough accumulated lifespan, I can live to be 81 years old?

    ??????????????????????????????? Not bad, I¡¯m over 80 years old, that¡¯s a long life!

    Can you still act cool when you¡¯re hanging up?  Touch your grandson's great-grandson's dog head and say, 'Your grandpa is going to die tomorrow', and then hang it up for him on the spot?

    Not bad¡­¡­"

    At this time, the painful memories of the future took over. For him, who was not long alive at that time and had been paralyzed in the hospital bed for several years, there was a chance that he could live healthily to the age of 81 which was probably what he could do in this era.  The number of years to live is not bad.

    Instantly more motivation becomes available!

    Open the lottery section.

    "The number of silver draws: 1, the chance of silver draws: 1, the chance of bronze draws: 1."

    Sure enough, when the life span reaches 1,000 days, which is a multiple of the 500-day life span, there will be one more bronze lottery chance, and one more silver lottery chance.

    "Draw a prize to refresh your mind! Just don't use the lottery opportunities for now. It consumes your life. Draw again when necessary. Use up the times first"

    As soon as I thought about it, the lottery prompt came.

    "The host uses silver to draw a lottery once, and consumes silver to draw a lottery once"

    Suddenly, fireworks were set off in the subtitles!

    It¡¯s just fireworks!

    Zhang Hao saw the subtitles appear like black and gray fireworks Can't we have a big color TV at this time?

    Cursing, Zhang Hao saw the text reappearing and immediately concentrated on it.

    "Congratulations to the host for winning the silver lottery grand prize with a 0.01% probability - a random linkage medal."

    "Random linkage medal: After use, you will randomly receive a medal that has a linkage bonus effect with the host's medal, level bronze."

    "I'll go! Am I changing from a non-chief to a European emperor?"

    Zhang Hao jumped up with excitement.

    Fortunately, the girl hasn¡¯t come back yet, otherwise she would be regarded as a fool.

    "Linkage? Let's take a look, my medal, Homecoming The effect of this medal is to do things that make teammates have a sense of identity, and the sense of identity is strengthened; after making mistakes, teammates' sense of tolerance is strengthened If it is linked, what will this link with?  Why do I feel like my hairline will move away from me?

    The king of turnaround jump shots, this one is probably a back shot, right?  How about leaning back?

    The dunk masterFancy dunk?  Or a medal for violent dunking?

    Rebound protector linkage blocking?

    Riding alonekillingwhat can these two do together?

    Malone¡¯s Elbow¡­uh¡­¡±

    "Would you like to wait until you get new medals later to link up, or link up now Wait a minute, the medals will give you bonuses right away, use it! It's almost the playoffs!"

    "The host uses the random linkage medal Congratulations to the host for obtaining the King of Jump Jump Linkage Medal: Deep Step (Bronze)."

    "Deep Step (Bronze) (not worn): When the player is wearing a post-up and is pressed against him, he will turn around, speed +3, and have a 10% chance of perfectly blocking the opponent when turning around."

    "Thisis a bonus linkage for turning around when my baseline back-up shot is stuck? But it seems to be more suitable for the bottom step! Is this a medal more suitable for low-post back-up shots? And it is a trick that heavy players can use well, right? I  I remember that O'Neal, who was with Malone, Ewing and the Lakers, was the best at this move. He was stuck in position and his legs were pressed tightly. He crossed his elbow and lifted it, turning around and the opponent was completely out of position. What could I, a skinny power forward, do to play like that  Eh?

    Malone¡¯s elbow?  "

    Zhang Hao fell into deep thought

    "Is this the threat of linking the King of Turnover Jumpers to force the opponent to defend, or is it linking these iron elbows?"

    ¡­¡­

    You have new learning goals

    After digesting it for a while, Zhang Hao seemed to see this happy and sad reminder.

    If you want to make good use of this newly learned iron elbow clearing technique, you must practice more.

    Due to his body shape, although his static strength is very strong and top level, Zhang Hao never wanted to take this path.

    Of course, not having so much time is the main reason. He has made every effort, and it has been less than a year since the memory was integrated. He has been able to learn so many things now because he has tried his best.

    After briefly thinking about how to start learning in this area and sorting out the training time that he could adjust now, Zhang Hao opened the basic information section.

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 18 years old on January 7, 1977.

    Height 208 cm, wingspan 220 cm

    Weight: 99??I called myself.

    No matter how calm he is, seeing the two brothers spending almost 5 million US dollars fighting over who is richer, Zhang Hao can't help but complain: "It's a shame that O'Neal doesn't hang out in Los Angeles!"

    Several teammates at the training ground responded one after another. They were indeed envious and jealous.

    For example, Campbell has been playing for almost 6 years, with a total salary of 7.74 million U.S. dollars, and no other income. In the early stage of his career, he received a two-year endorsement contract of 50,000 U.S. dollars for potential stars. After that, he only occasionally participated in local events in Los Angeles.  There are thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in extra income, but nothing else.

    He worked hard for 6 years and got more money than the two of them showed off their wealth at once!

    So the magician doesn¡¯t care. He was also a good spender back then, but he could make money.

    However, when a staff member passing by heard Zhang Hao¡¯s comments about O¡¯Neal and Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s incident of showing off their wealth, they immediately contacted the reporter he was working with¡­

    Intelligence sources, for NBA teams, are ordinary staff who do hard work but don't get paid much. Each team also knows that their staff make extra money by hearing things that others can't hear.  , but does not block.

    "It can't be stopped, and it's not illegal. If you change one, there will be another."

    ?Also, this can also be regarded as a way to increase exposure.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao¡¯s evaluation of O¡¯Neal¡¯s double showoff of wealth incident. When the media broke the news, they gave an interpretation similar to ¡°Zhang Hao thinks O¡¯Neal is a drama star.¡±

    It didn¡¯t cause much trouble. There were many people who said that O¡¯Neal was a drama star. It was just because it was related to Zhang Hao. The Lakers and Magic were about to play against each other tonight. When the Los Angeles TV station reported this news, some people watched it.

    After one day of preparation, at 6:40 in the evening, players from the Lakers and Magic, who were about to face off, entered the court.

    When O'Neal came on the stage, "and-zero" jokes rang out.

    O'Neal doesn't mind. More than a month has passed. In the last 17 games, he has taken a total of 331 free throws and made 155 free throws. The ridicule of the fans here is considered mild. When he went to Chicago, the fans there said directly  "Free throws, Shark, we need you" I'm used to it.

    And he does regret that he was not good at free throws. If he had been better at free throws, he would have averaged 0.5 more free throws per game as a sophomore and had a 60% free throw shooting rate, and he would have won the scoring title He regretted it.  Regret, he knew he was wrong, but he didn't want to change it.

    How tiring!

    But when he saw Zhang Hao from the opposite side coming out of the tunnel, O'Neal was filled with hatred!

    It was this guy who allowed him to overtake Jordan in just one month and become the leader in free throws per game

    Although the number of intentional fouls committed by opponents against him has decreased in recent games, there are still many. In recent games, he is still averaging 15+ free throws per game

    With Anfernee Hardaway, when watching Zhang Hao play, he was not as lustful as he was during the All-Star Weekend. The limelight of that kind of game is not in line with his character.

    But when it comes to the official game and the opponent is No. 1 in the Western Conference, it will be different!

    However, O'Neal is still a little unhappy. He spent 1.69 million US dollars and didn't make the headlines!  The limelight has been stolen!

    ??????????????? When it comes to pressing Zhang Hao off the court with the Ferrari F50, O¡¯Neal can do it better, better, more spectacularly, and more in the limelight. Then on the court, he can do better than O¡¯Neal!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 167 167. Three consecutive critical hits

    There is constant competition off the court, and there is a lot of competition for the boss position, but when it comes to the game, O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway have the same goal.

    "Compared to those who mock him for not training and competing with O'Neal on things that O'Neal is unwilling to do, Anfernee Hardaway is a cute type.

    Anfernee Hardaway directly stated that he wanted to fight for the boss, and the off-court competition was simple and direct. O'Neal liked this kind of directness.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao knew that the two people on the opposite side wanted to compete with him on and off the court. The reason When playing against Hill, the two of them were equally energetic.

    Because they are all extremely popular rising stars who won All-Star votes in their rookie seasons.

    "But I'm not as strong as Hill!"

    Seeing these two opponents, Zhang Hao's pressure started rolling in.

    But I am looking forward to playing against these two people, and my emotions are quite complicated.

    "Shaquille O'Neal, ability evaluation 95 averaged 26.3 points, 11 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.6 steals, 2.2 blocks per game"

    "Anfernee Hardaway, ability evaluation 95averaged 22.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game"

    ??Two super giants!  And they are only 24 years old!

    Before O'Neal came back, Anfernee Hardaway was almost averaging 30+ per game. Although he declined rapidly after O'Neal came back, he proved that he has that ability.

    Before Anfernee Hardaway joined, O'Neal almost won the scoring title, but was cheated by David Robinson.

    Such two opponents

    "Fortunately, their lineup of role players is quite interesting."

    Zhang Hao looked at the strange man Nick Anderson who missed four free throws in the final moments of the first game of last year's Finals, causing the Magic to lose the home court advantage to the Rockets in overtime, and then collapsed thousands of miles away.

    "Nick Anderson, 28 years old, 198 cm, 93 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 85, defense 73 averaged 14.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game"

    His strength is still good. He is a qualified starter. He can even average 18 or 9 points per game on a bad team. His three-point shooting and mid-range shooting are good. He is very suitable for the Magic dual-core. His career average of free throw shooting is in the early 60sseriously.  Of?

    O¡¯Neal, who averaged 11.6 free throws per game, and Nick Anderson, who averaged 6.2 free throws per game, gave the Magic a team¡¯s free throw shooting rate of less than 70%, ranking last in the league!

    "Denis Scott, 28 years old, 203 cm, 104 kg, ability evaluation 80, offense 87, defense 76, three-pointer 90 averaged 17.5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game"

    A very good small forward, similar in strength to Gilliam, who Zhang Hao worked with before, but he is a shooter. With Anfernee Hardaway and O'Neal beside him, he averaged 3.4 three-pointers per game and his shooting percentage was as high as 40%.  Second, he is competing with George McLeod of the Mavericks for the three-point title this season.

    Zhang Hao's evaluation of him - a very smart player who can seize opportunities.

    Zhang Hao has studied the resume of every player on the Magic team. Among them, Denis Scott seized the opportunity in O'Neal's first year in the NBA and became the starter for the Magic team, opening up space on both sides of the line.

    Generally speaking, these two people are fine. Nick Anderson only has a dark history of missing 4 free throws. As for the fact that the defense of the two is average, their offense is good. Last season, the Magic averaged 110 points per game and scored 100 goals.  In the finals, these two forward-guard combinations who can shoot and pass are indispensable. They have no other advantage but that they are suitable for Anfernee Hardaway and O'Neal.

    But Zhang Hao really couldn¡¯t understand the strong man wearing glasses and the opponent he was going to face tonight.

    "Horace Grant, 31 years old, 208 cm, 107 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 71, defense 88 averaged 12.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1 steal, 1.3 blocks per game"

    Very good, every team wants such a power forward.

    But, I can¡¯t afford it!

    During the All-Star Weekend, Zhang Hao saw a piece of news, and he felt incredible at the time.

    Now that I see the specific ability evaluation of the 31-year-old Horace Grant, who is a high-quality role player, I can¡¯t understand it even more.

    The Magic are still hesitating whether to give O'Neal a seven-year, $100 million contract. However, they changed hands and renewed the contract with 31-year-old Horace Grant for two years, with a combined salary of $29 million over the two years.

    And O¡¯Neal wants a salary of 100 million. According to the rules, the starting salary is less than 11 million.

    "The media in Orlando is weird. Forget it, what's going on with the Magic management's brain? Olajuwon's starting salary for his contract extension is only over 9 million."

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers, ranked third in the league with 51 wins and 13 losses, played against the Magic, ranked second in the league with 52 wins and 13 losses. It was a strong showdown, with a lot of topics and attention.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Are you distracted?  Are you really the memory of a fish?  We've already made two mistakes because you were distracted!  "

    O'Neal turned his head and looked at Anfernee Hardaway who was dribbling the ball quickly after finishing speaking In fact, we usually have such conversations. O'Neal has often been lazy in games since Anfernee Hardaway entered the NBA. Anfernee  Nee Hardaway wanted to be the boss when he entered the NBA. He often scolded O'Neal for this, but O'Neal usually didn't take it seriously.

    This time, Anfernee Hardaway also scolded him as before. Usually, even if O'Neal remains stubborn, he will be a little more serious.

    But O¡¯Neal was unhappy to begin with, and now he¡¯s even more unhappy!  He immediately ran towards the frontcourt and had to reach the three-point line before Anfernee Hardaway.

    Then, instead of tactically pulling away like in the previous round, he went directly to Campbell to ask for the ball!

    "Am I distracted?

    Why am I distracted?

    You can¡¯t even defend against penetration!  That rookie defenseman averaged 2.4 blocks per game!

    Do you really think of you as the boss?

    Your fancy goal, no matter how beautiful it is, is only worth two points, I can still do it, it¡¯s simple and crude!  "

    Campbell is always ready to guard against O'Neal, and actively gets in position with O'Neal.

    In terms of static strength, Campbell is not inferior to O'Neal. O'Neal is 216 centimeters tall, 132 kilograms, and has a static strength of 98. Campbell is 211 centimeters tall, 127 kilograms, and has a static strength of 97 Although neither of them knows their own strength evaluation, their experience in playing against each other last season  , Campbell knows that he is not inferior to O'Neal in terms of positioning.

    Anfernee Hardaway's thinking was not on the same line as O'Neal's. I really thought that his scolding made O'Neal focus. I was delighted. If O'Neal took it seriously, the game would be much easier to play.

    After his teammates pulled away, Anfernee Hardaway immediately passed to O'Neal. O'Neal received the ball and exploded, hitting Campbell!

    "Static strength is 98, but explosive power, O'Neal is amazing!"  100 explosive power!  Although it took a lot of effort, it knocked Campbell back a step!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??

    After occupying the space where he was knocked back, O'Neal continued to exert force, hitting twice in succession like a bulldozer, and forced the 127-kg meaty Campbell to retreat to the reasonable collision zone!

    Compared with dealing with those ordinary centers, it is still a little more laborious, but all the positions are already there. O'Neal grabs the ball and takes a deep breath. Every time he hits the ball, he gets stuck in the position immediately. It is not necessary to deal with others, but it is necessary to deal with Campbell.  Grasp this detail, and he grasped it, he was going to turn around and dunk Campbell!

    At this time, he heard Anfernee Hardaway from the top arc direction yelling "Pasmi".

    pass?

    Dreaming!

    O'Neal ignored Anfernee Hardaway's request for the ball, turned around, and dunked hard!

    Campbell had no energy left to take off and was exhausted. Just when O'Neal was ready to smash the ball down and start taking the dominant step, there were exclamations from the scene!

    Cheering for me?

    When O'Neal pressed the ball down, the idea just came into his mind, and he saw a slender arm appear in his sight

    "Snapped"

    "ßÑ"

    This seemingly thin hand accidentally pushed the ball in O'Neal's hand crookedly and pressed it against the basket!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 168 168. Anyone wearing a suit is not a good person!

    The ball hit the inside of the basket and failed to slide into the basket. Because of the two forces, when both hands left the ball, the ball circled around the basket and slipped out!

    The three people under the basket all jumped up quickly. Zhang Hao fell off O'Neal's back and was bounced off by O'Neal's back. He took two steps back and jumped up but was not in time. Campbell couldn't jump.

    But O¡¯Neal¡¯s body was like a bug, and his secondary bounce was ridiculously strong, but when the ball hit him, it hit the top edge of the backboard. After a slight bump, it still landed on the top edge of the backboard.

    The referee whistle blows, out of bounds!

    The fans at the scene cheered crazily, that¡¯s O¡¯Neal!  Campbell could only use the physically exhausted inside monster, but Zhang Hao completed the block!

    Hearing the shouts of "gentleman" and "x" on the spot, no one called him Campbell. Campbell didn't care. Defenders like them don't belong in the spotlight.

    ¡°Moreover, Zhang Hao grasped the timing just right and predicted it well

    Campbell felt that he had a deep sense of merit and fame, because he and Zhang Hao guarded O'Neal together, and it was Zhang Hao who received the cheers, but he was not jealous.

    The TV commentator was also amazed at Zhang Hao's prediction just now.

    O'Neal was very active when he bounced the second time, but after he poked the ball out of bounds, he was no longer calm, but it was not anger, but his anger had dissipated a lot

    "That guy is deliberately irritating me! How despicable! Anyone in a suit is really not a good person!"

    As for Zhang Hao

    Predicted that O'Neal would not pass the ball and completed the block?

    No, Zhang Hao didn't expect it at all. He even expected O'Neal to pass the ball, so that O'Neal would be able to score for a long time and then fail, consuming O'Neal in vain.

    Even if O'Neal gets an assist, the best scorer is Anfernee Hardaway, so that he can find a way to inflict more psychological damage to O'Neal.

    He just got inspiration from the words O'Neal came to taunt him after Anfernee Hardaway scored and wanted to anger him. He just responded in kind. What he wanted was to make O'Neal pursue it irrationally.  singles.

    When the Lakers played against the Magic last season, they faced the overall runner-up team last season. The Lakers won one game and lost the other. Zhang Hao specifically asked for the videos of these two games. The one they lost,  It happened that Campbell was not here, and in the win, Campbell consumed O'Neal for 32 minutes.

    Zhang Hao did not study the specific performance in depth because the lineup gap was huge. Zhang Hao looked at some turning points and detailed data analysis. In the game when Campbell was not present, O'Neal beat Divac and made 20 of 26 shots. Although Van Exel  After scoring 26 points and 10 assists, Ceballos scored 23 points and 7 assists, the Lakers were defeated by O'Neal's 46 points.

    But with Campbell here, O'Neal's shots and efficiency dropped sharply. He made 11 of 22 shots from the field, which looked very good, but he took 12 shots, including the 16 minutes when Campbell was away. Moreover, the overall efficiency was different from 20 of 26 shots.  Huge, the Lakers also used this to win the game.

    When playing against the Magic, the biggest fear is not that O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway will score, but that the two of them can't score much, allowing them to keep scoring, which in turn allows their dual-core singles to distribute the ball and the wings to connect.  Can't open.

    Del Harris's defensive strategy is to prevent O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway from playing singles points, so they can play singles. But it was proved last season. The idea was good, but the effect was not good. O'Neal  Like today's opening of the Magic's first attack, Campbell is very good at choosing opportunities. Campbell took the initiative to reduce the number of shots and opened the door to Anfernee Hardaway. When the Lakers beat the Magic last season, they actually only won by 7.  points, the process was still forced to compete, but Campbell really had a consuming effect.

    But this year, Anfernee Hardaway is stronger and the game has become more uncontrollable, so we have to find a way to force O'Neal into singles

    After completing the block and O'Neal poked the ball out of bounds, O'Neal had just calmed down. Zhang Hao immediately walked out of bounds and prepared to serve. As he walked out, he said to O'Neal: "Penny asked you to pass the ball, you should pass it, so that he can guarantee it."  Goal."

    As soon as the fire was extinguished, it burst out, but it was not as strong as before. O'Neal immediately ran back quickly, running back before the referee served the ball.

    Not urgent¡­¡­

    just began¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao received the ball and after Campbell ran across the center line, he held down the illegal ball for 5 seconds and sent it to Van Exel. After reaching the frontcourt, he pulled away strangely.

    Zhang Hao really doesn¡¯t care about statistics except when he wants to get very good statistics. Winning is the only way.

    Anfernee Hardaway just beat Zhang Hao, Van Exel of course has to find his place. He is confident against anyone, and he is confident when facing Jordan.sp; But the offer O'Neal received was a starting salary of 8 million and 80 million in 7 years!  The highest salary among them was US$13.22 million in the last year. At the age of 31, his salary would not be as high as that of Horace Grant, who was also 31 years old!

    This time, O'Neal really cracked!

    ¡­¡­

    Anfernee Hardaway's thinking is completely unable to keep up with O'Neal's brain circuit. He doesn't feel that there is any difference between now and usual. His defensive characteristic is that he is below the level most of the time, and occasionally does not hold back. The Magic team is just for him, using  The astronomical price of US$29 million over two years retained Horace Grant, a master of mid-range defense. He was mainly responsible for pressing from the outside. With O'Neal under the basket, he couldn't help but have these two men to supplement him.

    In Anfernee Hardaway's view, O'Neal was just lazy at the beginning. Just be lazy and just say a few words. The opponent never took him seriously, so he got used to it. He knew O'Neal very well on the court.  All it takes is some urging. O'Neal was lazy during the regular season and Anfernee Hardaway just wanted to show his willingness to compete for the top spot and took action. In fact, he didn't care.

    Off the court, apart from competing with O'Neal on how to show off his wealth, Anfernee Hardaway would never say that O'Neal doesn't like training, is petty, etc., but that's not important, in his opinion.  , O'Neal is a talented player.

    He attaches great importance to the title of "genius" because he thinks he is a genius.

    Geniuses always have something special about them. For example, O'Neal likes to be lazy during the regular season, loses his temper easily, is petty and other problems, Anfernee Hardaway thinks it is normal.

    So O'Neal was distracted in the first few rounds and deliberately wanted to express himselfetc., Anfernee Hardaway didn't feel anything was wrong.

    What he cares about tonight is whether the Lakers, a team with Zhang Hao, the inventor of the "shark tactic", will use this trick. And he cares about this very much, and he didn't notice anything wrong with O'Neal.

    O¡¯Neal insisted on singles at the beginning, and Anfernee Hardaway didn¡¯t pay special attention to it. In addition to not being blocked in the first attack, O¡¯Neal should dunk and pass later

    And this is not only Anfernee Hardaway who didn't think anything was wrong and only thought that O'Neal was impulsive when he saw Zhang Hao playing, but the rest of the Magic team was the same.

    But as time went by, the Magic felt something was wrong Their scoring efficiency was declining!

    The playing style of the Magic's main lineup has always been a single point shot in the dual-core. It is a very simple routine, and it is also a very strong and unsolvable style of play. But as they play, the Magic players suddenly discovered that their Magic team tonight  Only the Sharks kept hitting singles and Penny became a catcher and pitcher!

    This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that O'Neal has begun to balance dunks, irons and mistakes!  From the beginning, as long as you don't get blocked, you either score or assist, it has become a mixed bag of scoring and making iron, and the turnover rate is also increasing!

 Chapter 169 169. Kill Zhang Hao?

    The Lakers have been claiming that they have a good center to deal with O'Neal. It's not for nothing. They have really cultivated a good player to deal with O'Neal who can deal with the current O'Neal one by one. It can even be said that they can defend O'Neal head-on in today's league.  Power play the player who defends the best.

    The comprehensive defense against O'Neal is definitely not as good as last year's Olajuwon, and the quick defense is definitely not as good as David Robinson, but head-on defense, with enough tonnage, strong awareness of interference, and strong psychological quality will not be defeated  There is really no one who can compare with Campbell at the moment.

    This point has been recognized after last season. Public opinion generally believes that Campbell is a product used by the Lakers to attract big-name stars to join.

    There are 28 cities where the 29 teams in the league are located. It is estimated that teams and media in 27 cities believe that O'Neal will be the number one center in the future. He will definitely be like Magic, Big Bird, Jordan, Olajuwon, and Bad.  Like the children's army, they will become the biggest rivals for all superstars in the future.

    It is already a potential trend to hoard meat-shield centers to deal with O'Neal. The Lakers took care of this matter early. When superstars are willing to enter the free market, the Lakers have already taken the lead.

    The Lakers' successful development of Campbell has been highly praised since last season. It depends on who the Lakers can hook up with when many superstar contracts expire in the next few years.

    The Magic team was naturally prepared, so O'Neal initially chose to rush outside the three-second zone. This was the arrangement of the Magic's head coach, Brian Hill, who is well-versed in training and using big centers.

    "But O'Neal played one round according to the tactics, and then he insisted on playing singles all the time as if he was angry. He wanted the ball when he got to the court and asked for it when he was tired.

    Forget it, the Magic have a strategy to deal with this situation.

    It is impossible for the opponent to lock down O'Neal, even if Olajuwon comes, they can only limit it to the maximum extent.

    Campbell can limit O'Neal, but it is also a limitation. O'Neal's success rate in singles is still not too bad, and his hitting rate of about 50% can still be maintained.

    Letting O'Neal conserve his energy and use Tian Ji's horse-racing style of play is the Magic's best option, but if O'Neal himself doesn't want to implement this strategy, then don't worry, let O'Neal do it first, and the efficiency will not be bad.

    It¡¯s better than O¡¯Neal not giving him the ball when he wants it, making him unhappy and becoming lazier.

    As the Magic team thinks, even if O'Neal's physical strength declines, as long as he still has physical strength in singles, their Magic team's offense will not lose to the Lakers.

    No, when O'Neal hit 3 of 6 shots, scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers, the Magic still led the Lakers by two points, 18-16.

    When O'Neal couldn't stop him in isolation, the Lakers' offense lagged behind. After O'Neal started making mistakes, it was difficult for the Lakers to quickly overtake the score.

    At this time, O'Neal has held the ball for almost 10 consecutive rounds. Even if O'Neal is extremely talented, it is really difficult for the 132 kilograms of weight to attack in the low post for 10 rounds.

    O'Neal did not ask for the ball again and gave the ball away.

    At this time, although the Magic players unexpectedly made O'Neal twice in three rounds, they released the ball when it was time to release it.

    After O'Neal finished, it was Anfernee Hardaway's turn to play in singles. O'Neal just stayed close and rushed for the ball. On the defensive end, if he crouched under the basket well, he would be a huge shot-blocking threat.

    But the premise is that O'Neal must be honest.

    However, in the eyes of the Magic players, O'Neal kept acting like a monster tonight for some reason!

    Although I often act like a monster in normal times, I was particularly dishonest tonight.

    When defending, if you don¡¯t protect the frame well, Zhang Hao just needs to go inside first, and he will follow Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao is at close range, and his attention is on Zhang Hao.

    The second is the threat of inside defense slipping. Without O'Neal, Horace Grant did not stay under the basket but expanded to defend the mid-range. Originally, the Magic's average rebounds per game was negative. When entering the rotation time,  After the Lakers sent Jason Williams and Campbell to partner inside, the Magic's defensive rebounds collapsed!

    He doesn't even listen to what he says. Brian Hill is a good old man and doesn't speak harsh words. He won't even try to fight for the management's decisions that dissatisfy him. His teammates except Anfernee-  Hardaway and Horace Grant, others dare not say.

    But O'Neal found these two people particularly distasteful tonight, and he was even more unwilling to pay attention to them.

    The reverse psychology is here!

    This has already devastated the Magic players and coaching staff, but there is something even more depressing for them.

    Whenever physical strength is restored,The topic of poor play and Campbell's restrictions on O'Neal, in the end, the topic of "Zhang Hao was cut by the Magic" became the hottest topic in the original "O'Neal's Revenge"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Most people don¡¯t believe in such things as clickbait, such as most NBA teams.

    When O'Neal plays the Lakers, many teams are paying attention to this game, and many stars are also paying attention to this game, mainly young insider stars whose contracts are about to expire.

    They want to see if, as the rumors say, Campbell can play an excellent role in limiting O'Neal.

    The result is true!

    There are many inside talents ready to move, especially those at the power forward position. Zhang Hao can play small forward. They can try to go to the Lakers, then they don't have to be so afraid of O'Neal.

    The focus of the team is whether hoarding meat-shield centers can really limit O'Neal. Now they have a positive answer. The Jazz and others have hoarded meat-shield centers but the training is not enough, or the meat-shield is not as good as Campbell's.  He has the talent for a large-tonnage style of play, but he is also determined to hoard a meat shield center, and is even preparing to compete with the Lakers for Campbell, whose contract is about to expire after the end of this season.

    The management, coaching staff, and players of most teams viewed the game between the Lakers and Magic with a professional eye.

    But there is one team that is special

    On March 22, after the Lakers took a day off after playing the game against the Magic, they ushered in the last game of the 5th consecutive season and faced the Vancouver Grizzlies.

    The Lakers didn¡¯t pay much attention to this opponent at first, but they definitely wanted to win, so they played very hard.

    But I didn¡¯t expect the Grizzlies to want to win even more!  Moreover, the Grizzlies seem to believe that the legendary "shark-killing tactic" can deal with Zhang Hao. In order to interrupt the Lakers' offensive momentum, the Grizzlies started tonight with Anthony Avant, the original substitute who averaged 5 points per game.  Started, played less than two minutes in the beginning, and left the game with 6 fouls.

    Zhang Hao was stunned and was fouled 6 times in a row and made 4 of 4 free throws.

    So, from the beginning of the game, it became a free throw show by the Lakers.

    In less than two minutes, Zhang Hao was hugged by the opponent 6 times. The Grizzlies directly entered the stage of giving free throws to the Lakers as long as they fouled!

    This Lakers team can't do anything to rush inside to cause damage.

    In the first quarter, the Lakers got 22 free throws in a single quarter and made 18 of them!

    The Grizzlies committed 17 fouls in a single quarter, and the more they were afraid of fouls, the easier it was to get fouled. The Lakers' offensive rhythm was indeed messed up, but the Grizzlies just pounced

    28 to 12, the Lakers inexplicably entered garbage time at the beginning

    Then, I saw that Zhang Hao still dared to play hard on the court even when the score difference exceeded 15 points. He chased Bryant Levis, the Grizzlies' key training center, to play in life defense and take the initiative on the offensive end.  Bryant Levis wears it.

    The madman who tortured his classmates appears again!

 Chapter 170 170. Death of 5 consecutive guests

    "The nightmare of the top 8 picks in the 1995 classAm I so scary? It's too much!"

    Zhang Hao leaned on April Clark's arms and said angrily.

    April Clark smiled and fed Zhang Hao a grape.

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk about others, even April Clark, who is next to her, feels that Zhang Hao bullied players in the same class who were ranked higher than him too harshly.

    Last night when the Grizzlies were playing against the Grizzlies, Zhang Hao chased Bryant Levis and beat him up. Even though he might not have won one-on-one, he even asked people to beat him up No, it was a double-team defense. The Grizzlies coach had to put the ball on his back.  Liante-Levis would never change again before he would go down to rest.

    Zhang Hao's "malice" towards the top 8 players in the same session is already on Sima Zhao's heart, and the media and fans are also speculating on various possibilities, which are all reasonable anyway.

    But Zhang Hao himself felt aggrieved. He felt that he was really not that narrow-minded. He just had a mission. He felt that he was innocent

    ¡­¡­

    Breakfast time was over, Zhang Hao and April Clark reluctantly said goodbye at the airport. Zhang Hao was going to play away again, a wave of 5 consecutive visitors, and these 5 opponents were all in the Eastern Conference playoff competition.  teams and even playoff teams.

    5 consecutive guests died!

    This is the name given by the media to the Lakers¡¯ five-consecutive series.

    In fact, the opponents are not all particularly strong, but these teams are now risking their lives to win!

    With less than 20 games left in the regular season, teams on the edge of the playoffs can often burst into super strength.

    For example, the Hornets were forced into overtime two days ago when Jordan scored 47 points, and then relied on Larry Johnson's tip-in to defeat the Bulls 107-106 in overtime.  It gave the Bulls their eighth loss of the season.

    The opponents of the Lakers' five consecutive away games this time are the Cavaliers, Hawks, Heat, Hornets, and Magic.

    The top four teams are all competing for playoff spots or rankings, and they are all the kind of teams that may burst into super performance. The Magic just lost to the Lakers, and they will definitely work hard when they return to their home court enough to kill them.  5 consecutive guests come to name!

    For this wave of consecutive away games, the Lakers coaching staff is having a headache, and the Lakers players are also mentally prepared.

    However, on March 24, the Lakers suffered a tragic defeat in their first consecutive away game.

    ? 79 to 91, the Lakers lost to the Cavaliers on the road by 12 points.

    The Lakers team only scored 79 points!  Moreover, Magic alone scored 26 points. Except for Magic, who made 9 of 16 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, only George Lynch, who made 4 of 4 shots, had a better shooting percentage.  40%.

    Zhang Hao made 4 of 14 shots and 10 of 12 free throws, scoring 18 points. Van Exel made 4 of 11 shots and scored 13 points and 5 assists. Doug Christie made 3 of 9 shots and scored 10 points and 1 assist.   No one else scored in double figures.

    During the bloody battle with the Knicks for fourth place in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers exploded with super strength!

    So, the Lakers' tragic record was tied by the Spurs!

    With 53 wins and 14 losses, the Spurs are bettered only by the advantage of their head-to-head wins, and the Sonics are bettered by the advantage of winning more games against Western Conference teams, temporarily ranking first in the Western Conference.

    On the 26th and 27th, the Lakers played back-to-back away games against the South Coast Hawks and Heat.

    In the game against the Hawks, the Lakers played very well and worked hard. Zhang Hao had 31 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks. He did an excellent job in protecting the frame, counterattacking, and positioning the ball, but as usual he lacked 1  plate.

    At the same time that Zhang Hao scored 30 points for the 19th time in his career, the Lakers defeated the Hawks 112-99 and avoided a losing streak.

    However, in back-to-back games on the 27th, although the Lakers performed very well, they made a wrong prediction about Pat Riley's strategy.

    The Heat have developed an iron-blooded style of play this year, giving the impression that they are the characteristics of a team where defense is the lifeblood.

    But in the second back-to-back game against the Lakers, the Heat chose to use the offensive advantages of Mourning and Tim Hardaway, giving the Lakers a surprise.

    116 to 105, the Heat defeated the Lakers at home, giving the Lakers their 15th loss of the season!

    The deepest impression on the fans of this game was that Zhang Hao actively attacked with 35 seconds left in the game. He couldn't make a shot and even rushed in to grab the rebound, causing Mourning to foul. He made two free throws, but he only made 13.  The point difference narrowed to 11 points.

    This picture is touching!

    As everyone knows, Zhang Hao only worked so hard because the task of "abusing the top 8 picks in the same class" was going to be tragic. Otherwise, he would have only 35 seconds to chase 13 points. Crazy!

    &nbspAfter players of this level leave the Hornets, they will feel that they were unlucky during their time with the Hornets.

    ??For top players such as Mourning, Kendall Gill, and Jose Hawkins, it is a joy to leave the Hornets.

    Kenny Anderson, who was blinded by lard at first and felt happy that the Hornets could have a chance to play in the playoffs, also said after being traded to the 76ers, he felt like he had escaped from hell.

    Originally, in previous years, this feeling was not very obvious to the players who were in the Hornets. It would only become obvious after leaving.

    But this season was different. Mourning left the Hornets and went to the Heat. He and the Heat's new head coach Pat Riley got to know each other right away and hit it off. They also got Tim Hardaway and Chris Chris.  -Teammates like Gatlin have gone against the wind and are now ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.

    Jose Hawkins, went to the SuperSonics and is currently competing for first place in the Western Conference.

    Kendall Gill went to the Nets and got a five-year, $25 million contract. His record was poor, but his salary was higher than that of Larry Johnson, the highest-paid member of the Hornets.

    And Larry Johnson wanted a contract extension with a starting salary of $5 million, but the Hornets owner rejected it.

    After Kenny Anderson went to the 76ers, even if his record was not good, he still averaged 17.1 points and 8.3 assists per game.

    There was no comparison before, but now there is, and the feeling is different

    Seeing the face on the opposite side that impressed them so much before the start of the regular season made several Hornets stars even more crazy!

    That guy, who was obviously in the same situation as them, on a team that was ignored by local basketball fans and struggling on the edge of the playoffs, actually went to Los Angeles!  Moreover, with the help of Van Exel, Magic and others, he is playing so well, has a good record, and is very popular

    Dell Curry and Glenn Rice are okay. Occasionally, when they are interviewed by the media about Zhang Hao, they will say something nice. Well, these reporters have the same skin color as Zhang Hao.

    But Larry Johnson has disliked Zhang Hao since their first encounter!

    There is no other reason than the grievances caused by the outcome of the game and the matchup process.

    At 4:58 pm, players from both teams are about to take the field.

    Zhang Hao felt the other party's strong desire to win and his strong hostility towards Zhang.

    Regarding this game, no one on the Lakers side was careless. After losing to the Cavaliers and Heat, they knew that their strength was not actually strong enough to crush the teams in the lower half of the playoffs.

    What¡¯s more, the Hornets just defeated the Bulls not long ago and are now ninth in the Eastern Conference with 35 wins and 34 losses. They are one win away from the eighth-placed Eagles in the Eastern Conference with 36 wins and 33 losses. They will not be easy to play.

    At 5 o'clock in the evening, the game started. Zhang Hao won the jump ball with Matt Geiger. Unfortunately, there was no fast break at the beginning. Matt Geiger retreated, Larry Johnson and Glenn Lay  Si's interception prevented the opening fast break of Zhang Hao and George Lynch.

    However, Van Exel¡¯s characteristic of going crazy the next time he loses a game shows up again!

    There was no long pass, he quickly advanced and shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc Dell Curry was used as a cannon again, and Madman Fan hit the opening three-pointer!

 Chapter 171 171. This is too tragic!

    After a long period of observing the lineup during games and making adjustments during training, when Van Exel, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Zhang Hao, and Campbell were put into the starting lineup, they immediately performed quite well.  .

    On the inside, there is Campbell who has many pie-eating postures, Zhang Hao is there to control the mid-range, George Lynch is on the cutting edge, and Doug Christie on the outside is catching and shooting and assisting in control. Van Exel can play as comfortably as possible. Recently, he has  His good performance is not only that he is in good condition, but the most important thing is that the coaching staff equipped him with a lineup and tactics around him in the starting stage, instead of focusing on Zhang Hao + Magic like they did in the middle of the season.

    Facing Dell Curry¡¯s defense, Van Exel became violent at the beginning. He scored 3 goals and scored 7 points in a row from the beginning, helping the Lakers get off to a 7-2 start.

    The Lakers, who took the initiative at the beginning, led by Van Exel, scored 17 to 11 in the half quarter.

    The Lakers' lineup has Doug Christie as the main defender on the outside and Zhang Hao as the point guard. Although Zhang Hao is a power forward, George Lynch is actually the one who often defends the power forward. He will never miss a three-pointer on the defensive end under the basket.  Campbell in the second zone also did a pretty good job defensively.

    The strength gap between the two teams is obvious. The Lakers are only rated as a "regular season team" by the media. This does not mean that they are not worthy of staying first in the Western Conference for a long time. It is just that the media questions the performance of this team without a super giant in the playoffs.  Performance, the reason is that after the All-Star Weekend, the performance of championship teams entering the playoffs was extremely unstable.

    But the Lakers' record is actually the second in the Western Conference. Even as a regular season team, the strength shown is one of the top three in the Western Conference in the regular season. Against the Hornets, they showed a huge advantage at the start.

    However, the Hornets also showed their resilience. After entering the rotation, the Lakers made another charge, relying on Zhang Hao to score the ball after receiving the ball in the top arc, and Anthony Pillar, who came on the bench, shot from the bottom corner.  After scoring three points, the Lakers scored 28-18 at 9 minutes and 22 seconds of the first quarter, leading by 10 points!  At this time, the Hornets began a strong counterattack, relying on Dell Curry and Glenn Rice's three-pointers and Larry Johnson's impact to score an 11-4 run in two minutes!

    Larry Johnson scored 5 points, scored a goal on Magic, and scored 2+1 on Zhang Hao.

    There are 31 seconds left in the first quarter, and the score difference is only three points. If they don¡¯t score this time, Dell Curry and Glenn Rice, who have just scored a three-pointer each, will have a chance to even the score!

    The Lakers' last attack of the first quarter was handed over to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao chose a baseline single, turned around decisively, and triggered the "deep pace". At that moment, Larry Johnson, who was close to him, was stuck until he hit the ball.  Breaking out of the basket, he easily scored the ball under the panicked defense of center George Chidenko, the 22nd overall pick in the same class, and also caused a foul on the opponent!

    Zhang Hao's notoriety has become a lingering nightmare among rookies in the same class. In fact, Zhang Hao is only targeting the top 8 picks, but the Lakers have a good record and are winning against many teams. By the way, they have also abused some of their fellow players.  Rookie

    Although George Chidike last played against Zhang Hao at the beginning of the season, he was still very afraid. He moved hastily when covering up the defense and did not control his hands well. He even shot Zhang Hao's layup and hit Zhang Hao's arm.

    34 to 29, relying on Zhang Hao's back to turn around and hit the layup, the Lakers once again opened the point difference to 5 points, and there were extra penalties!

    Del Harris watched Zhang Hao patiently play without the ball in the first 11 minutes without fighting for possession of the ball while Van Exel and Magic scored individually or coordinated the team's offense.  Containing or looking for opportunities to catch and shoot, he only took 3 shots in a single quarter. Two of them took the blame, making 1 of 3 shots. He only scored 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block from the front.

    But at the critical moment, when he was needed, he stepped forward to help the team block the opponent's momentum of continuing to chase points.

    It smells like that!

    Although the opponent was the Hornets, an ordinary playoff team that relies on its explosive form to defeat the top teams, but in the stage when the opponent was playing so hard and the defensive confrontation was fierce, Zhang Hao played the way the team wanted him to play.  Performance.

    Zhang Hao steadily hit the extra penalty!  In the end, the Hornets missed a three-pointer. After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Hornets by 6 points, 35-29, entering the intersection break.

    Although there was an unexpected situation where the opponent played a wave of 11 to 4, the score difference in the first quarter was still a good 6 points. Moreover, Dell Curry, Glenn Rice, and Larry Johnson scored in the first quarter.  It¡¯s full and everyone is working hard!  The Lakers, after a 17-11 start in the half quarter, replaced four starters, Van Exel, Campbell, Doug Christie, and George Lynch.

    The Lakers just lost. They will not suffer from aristocratic disease and will not be as arrogant as the 60-7 Bulls team that became the fastest 60-win team in NBA history.Come on, the counterattack is coming!

    Zhang Hao scored 9 points in the final quarter, Van Exel scored 11 points in a single quarter, and George Lynch scored 5 points in two counterattacks. The three scored 25 points together, helping the team score 31 points in a single quarter.

    In the end, the Lakers defeated the Magic without O'Neal 104-99 and won their 56th victory of the season!

    ? 46 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assistsjust shy of a 40+ triple-double. Anfernee Hardaway's performance made Zhang Hao speechless after the game when he looked at the statistics on the big screen.

    ¡°My 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks are not bad either¡­¡±

    Zhang Hao comforted himself a little.

    Winning is the most important thing.

    Although O'Neal's absence has made the Magic's play clearer and avoided the impact of others on O'Neal, it is precisely because O'Neal did not play that the Lakers can hedge without any scruples and don't have to worry so much.

    There is no such thing as saying that the Magic will be stronger without O'Neal. Any team without a center like O'Neal will plummet in strength.

    Indeed, the Magic had a better record when O'Neal was away this season. In the 16 games that O'Neal missed at the beginning of the season, the Magic had a 13-3 record. In the 54 games after O'Neal returned, the Magic had a 38-16 record. But the sample is too small.  , and O'Neal's absence was all at the beginning of the season, so the samples cannot be compared together at all.

    It may be that the entire Magic team is online at the beginning, but their opponents are still adapting, so they have a status advantage.

    Like tonight, the Magic played very well and worked very hard, but the feeling given to Zhang Hao is actually better than the Hornets and Hawks. Maybe the Heat and Cavaliers are not worse than the Magic without O'Neal.  .

    Of course, Anfernee Hardaway's personal performance in leading the team is indeed amazing. It really looks like Jordan leading the team ten years ago.

    I know he didn¡¯t take a long shot, but I just couldn¡¯t guard him!

    ¡­¡­

    After losing, Anfernee Hardaway was praised to the heavens.

    And O'Neal, who was absent and sitting on the sidelines, was ridiculed by the Orlando media.

    The next morning, before returning to Los Angeles, Zhang Hao went out to buy a bunch of local newspapers while having breakfast.

    This year, the local newspaper industry in Orlando is extremely popular, and the sales of news about O'Neal are extremely high, which has also greatly affected the perception of local fans.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it supposed to be that losing is not scary and who is embarrassed by who? Why is it the other way around when we get to Aofang?

    O¡¯Neal, this is too miserable!  "

    After complaining for a while, Zhang Hao immediately opened the second newspaper, and then the third newspaper He was very happy to read it.

    only¡­¡­

    "Why do you think something is wrong? How come it's a bit like what happened to Duncan? It's just the other way around. Duncan's farts taste good, and O'Neal is suspected of farting when he sticks his butt out"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 172 172.Decided on Season 2

    Originally, the Lakers thought that the last game of five consecutive away games would be the most difficult to win, but in fact the win was relatively stable. It¡¯s just that Anfernee Hardaway is really good, and superstars can occasionally play life-changing games.  In this situation, the Lakers almost became the background after just one loss.

    But we won in the end, with 3 wins and 2 losses. Generally speaking, this wave of 5 consecutive away games was pretty good.

    By this time, the probability of a strong team losing is actually higher, there are more strong matchups, and the teams on the edge of the playoffs that they encounter are working hard again.

    Even the Bulls have lost two of the last five games.

    On April 1, the morning after five consecutive away games, Zhang Hao returned to Los Angeles with the team.

    After returning home, Zhang Hao closed the door and had a fight with April Clark. From 10:30 in the morning to after lunch time, April Clark's screams could be heard.

    Not seeing each other for 10 days is quite violent.

    In the end, it was Zhang Hao¡¯s deep shout that announced the winner or loser of this fight

    When April Clark complained that Zhang Hao was too busy preparing for a late lunch, Zhang Hao remembered something, got up, turned on the computer, and opened the official website of the NBA.

    After the release of this year¡¯s advanced version of win95, a new operating system called win97 in China, the development of the Internet has made significant progress. There are pictures on the homepage of the NBA official website!

    Finally, browsing the website is no longer like reading a newspaper!

    Although it is still very low-key, it looks like a serious website. If you don¡¯t know, you might think that some pictures are blocked.

    The headline is last month¡¯s monthly best award.

    "Boss Joe has never won the MVP of the Month and achieved 56 He is indeed the MVP of last season! If Jordan and the Bulls weren't so strong, would the general be able to win a second consecutive game?

    "Co-author Jordan's comeback, the worst is actually the general?"  Forget it, the playoffs are said to be soft, and we can no longer compete for regular season awards. At our peak, we encountered a year without any suspense"

    Sure enough, Spurs star David Robinson, who defeated the Bulls head-on and was unbeaten in a game, won the Player of the Month award last month.

    In terms of Rookie of the Month, Zhang won the Rookie of the Month for five consecutive months without any suspense.

    This time, Zhang Hao made history. Since the Rookie of the Month award in the 1979-1980 season, only Larry Bird and David Robinson have won the Rookie of the Month award more than three times, and they have both won the Rookie of the Month award four times.

    Zhang Hao became the first player in NBA history to win Rookie of the Month five times in his rookie season.

    But this didn't cause much of a stir. First of all, this was just the Rookie of the Month Award. Secondly, from very early on, Zhang Hao was far ahead of the players in his class. Most of the rookies in the 1995 class had more talent than immediate ability. Now,  The talent of many rookies in the 1995 class has been recognized, but for someone like Zhang Hao who wins as the first scorer in a strong team, there is no second.

    Being awarded the Rookie of the Month for five consecutive months, and even winning the Rookie of the Month in his rookie season, this has been expected by the media and fans.

    The Lakers' playoff prospects have been underestimated, and Zhang Hao's scoring style with a high proportion of points outside the three-second area has been questioned But Zhang Hao's personal performance in his rookie season has never been questioned. Data + record, real, historical level  Rookie.

    Of course, although it is not sensational, it is definitely a topic that will be discussed. When Zhang Hao turned on the TV to watch sports programs, he saw the host of the American cable TV station passionately touting that Zhang Hao's rookie season was comparable to Jordan and Jordan.  The performance of Olajuwon and David Robinson.

    The most popular ones are, of course, Jordan¡¯s ranking second in Player of the Month voting for five consecutive months and the Bulls¡¯ 63 wins and 9 losses

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, just after breakfast and a shower, Zhang Hao took April Clark out and went straight to the TV station. He had a job that he had made an appointment with last month.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Entering April means that the NBA regular season is coming to an end.

    This is the most watched moment of every regular season.

    Competition for playoff seats, ranking competition, playoff matchup predictions, etc are what fans like to see most.

    At the moment, the most watched news is almost all about the Bulls and Jordan.

    The Bulls currently have 63 wins and 9 losses, with 10 games left to play. Can they become the first and only team in NBA history to lose less than 10 games in a single season?

    Judging from the current situation, the Lakers' record of 69 wins and 13 losses, the strongest record in history, is basically dead.

    There is also the matter of Jordan ranking second in Player of the Month voting for five consecutive months.

    Jordan is in pain and happiness now.

    It hurts because I didn¡¯t get the Player of the Month award again.?? 

    The segment where Zhang Hao made oblique remarks, insinuations, and subtle twists and turns to appeal to the popularity of the most popular sports superstar will directly shock the audience who regard this program as a serious basketball program.

    Then, there was another twist. This 10-minute live TV broadcast was actually an advertisement!

    Advertisements to promote the Los Angeles Dodgers' season opener appear every year. Last month, the Los Angeles Dodgers had already invested a lot of money in advertising. There was a preview for this show, but it didn't say it was related to the Los Angeles Dodgers

    No doubt about it, this ad is a hit!

    ¡­¡­

    By the next morning, all major newspapers and periodicals had turned into headline-makers.

    Jordan, who was still in the news yesterday, has become a supporting role again today.

    Zhang Hao rubbed off on Jordan¡¯s popularity, a little too much, and made Jordan¡¯s popularity even worse

    When he received advertising invitations from the Los Angeles Dodgers and Time Warner Cable Sports and an invitation to kick off the opening game, he just casually came up with the idea of ??doing a talk show-style commercial. The Los Angeles Dodgers thought it was interesting, and Time Warner Cable Sports  The sports producer also found it interesting and tinkered with it

    He has proven with his strength that if he doesn¡¯t give the headlines, others can¡¯t take them away

    The team's record is not so attractive now, and personal performance is not so attractive when compared with those superstars at the end of the regular season.

    But in terms of gaining attention, Los Angeles, Hollywood, the Lakers he has too many advantages.

    At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon on April 2, Zhang Hao served as a special guest to help the Los Angeles Dodgers kick off the game.

    It happens every year that the new Lakers player kicks off for the Dodgers, but the kickoff in the opening game is still rare, because when the Major League Baseball starts, the NBA is at the end of the regular season, and the time may not be right.

    This time it happened that the Lakers did not have a game on the 2nd, and there was a home game on the 3rd, so naturally they invited Zhang Hao to kick off.

    Having never played baseball, he enjoyed the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the open air at the Los Angeles Dodgers' home field. It felt very different from the indoor arena. There were more people, although the sound was not as concentrated as the indoor arena.  It's a feeling, but the feeling of being able to feel the cheers spreading outside the stadium is very special.

    ¡­¡­

    During the two-day break, he recorded a program and participated in the kickoff ceremony of the opening game of his friendly team the Dodgers. Zhang Hao had a very happy time and even took April Clark to have a look at the camera. Niu was also very happy.

    Another happy thing is the envious looks from teammates who went to watch the Dodgers¡¯ opening game together.

    The only special case is the magician

    "Akers, have you seen it? The American cable TV station bought back the copyright of your clip of mocking Jordan and put it on their Internet website for download. It was also replayed on the sports program this morning." Magic  When you say this after training, it's a form of schadenfreude.

    Zhang Hao rolled his eyes at the magician - is this something that a famous person in his family can say?

    ?? If I have any regrets in the past two days, it¡¯s that I was so excited at the time that I didn¡¯t have that paragraph. The screenwriter of Time Warner Cable Sports had written other jokes, but I couldn¡¯t hold it back while talking.

    Thinking about the next time he plays against Jordan, the opponent will definitely go crazy I feel so happy for a moment

    But it¡¯s really cool!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 173 173. You are really hurt!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s talk show, instead of being criticized by the media, was praised by some veteran players - this is what Los Angeles players should be like.

    What will happen next time you meet Jordan? Let¡¯s talk about it next time.

    Anyway, it¡¯s great now.

    ??After attending the Dodgers¡¯ opening game kickoff, watching the Dodgers¡¯ opening game, their opponent was the San Francisco Giants, the favorite to win the championship I didn¡¯t understand much, but just cheered along and it was fun.

    Looking at it, Zhang Hao received a regrettable system prompt.

    ¡°The Georgetown University Hoyas, where contracted player Wang Zhizhi belongs, lost to the University of Kentucky 71-94. Wang Zhizhi¡¯s journey to the NCAA Basketball Championship this season ended in the semi-finals.

    Wang Zhizhi played 21 minutes in this game and scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

    "Congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 4 days of life bonus"

    Looking at this reminder, Zhang Hao felt very sorry.

    "Is it stopping hereIs Iverson going to participate in the draft? Georgetown University doesn't know if it can get talented outsiders in the future. Xiao Wang will not have Iverson to lead the team starting next year, and the pressure will be great  "

    Although it is a pity, Wang Zhizhi played 36 games this season, averaging 26 minutes per game, scoring 12.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks quite a good performance, just 3 votes short of winning the Big East Division.  Best Newcomer Award.

    The talent can be seen, and the combat ability is actually very good, but the change in play style is too drastic, and it has been greatly affected. If he does not change the play style, there is no suspense about winning the Best Rookie Award in the Big East Division.

    But since we need to change our playing style, and it¡¯s not in a professional league but in school, then we need to change it directly and thoroughly.

    ¡­¡­

    After watching the Dodgers¡¯ opening game, Zhang Hao made a phone call to comfort classmate Xiao Wang after returning home.

    Wang Zhizhi was very optimistic. They reached the top 4, and their performance exceeded expectations. Originally, they expected to be in the top 16. As a result, they narrowly won the top 16 and advanced in the top 8. In the end, they lost to the University of Kentucky. It was not unfair because the opponent was strong.  Too strong. University of Kentucky star Tony Delk performed like a bug. This 185cm tall little point guard is a pure scoring point guard with solid basic skills and steady shooting. During the entire knockout stage, he scored from 64 to 32.  In the top four games, he averaged 3.4 three-pointers per game and 24.2 points per game, ranking first on the outside. Only Tim Duncan, who only played two games and was eliminated in the top 32, averaged 27.5 points per game.  higher.

    The University of Kentucky is indeed a little too strong. In this year's knockout stage, it averaged 19 points per game and swept all the way. As the five-time champion in NCAA history second only to UCL, the University of Kentucky has 34 wins and 1 loss in the conference championship.  The biggest favorite to win the championship.

    After comforting classmate Xiao Wang, Zhang Hao's attention to the NCAA suddenly faded away. He is not very interested in the NCAA finals on April 7. At most, he will pay attention to who can win the championship between the University of Kentucky and Syracuse University.

    Tomorrow will usher in the first game of April, and the opponent is the San Antonio Spurs. Zhang Hao¡¯s focus is on how to compete for first place in the Western Conference.

    60 wins should not be a big problem. They currently have 56 wins and still have 11 games left. Although there are two back-to-back games in April, winning 4 games is no problem.

    ?Then the goal is naturally to be No. 1 in the Western Conference.

    If we can defeat the Spurs head-on, we will give the opponent their 15th defeat But yesterday, the Spurs just narrowly defeated the Suns 114-111 and won their 17th consecutive victory

    It just exploded!

    The Spurs have played 72 games and have 58 wins and 14 losses!

    "You have to give it a try"

    After dinner, Zhang Hao did not look at the scouting reports, video materials, etc. related to the Spurs.

    The Spurs are in surprisingly good shape recently, just like the Lakers who won 17 consecutive games. From experience, Zhang Hao feels that they can't predict the situation of the game even after studying it, just like no one in the Lakers could have imagined their mighty performance.  The first half of the season ended just like the first half of the season with a 20-1 loss and a surge to first place in the Western Conference.

    Rather than thinking about this, which would add to the pressure, he chose to watch the live broadcast with April Clark over snacks and drinks.

    Tonight is the Bulls' 73rd game this season. Every next game of the 63-9 Bulls will be broadcast live across the United States. They are so domineering.

    No matter which team defeats the Bulls and keeps the Bulls from losing less than 10 games, they will become "heroes" in a short time.

    ¡°I thought that if I helped the Lakers and Nets defeat the Bulls once, I could prevent the Bulls from winning 72 games. I clearly remember that the Bulls lost several games in March, but they only lost two games

    That¡¯s right. When I joined the NBA, the changes it brought were not small.  "

    But no matter if the Bulls win 72 or even if they have a winning streak of 73??, because he has never had good luck. Every time he went to coach other teams, the stars of those teams left and the coaches resigned, so he took over.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    How good can such a team¡¯s regular season record be?

    Therefore, he always felt that he was unlucky.

    But this year, things seem to be turning around!  Everything went so smoothly!

    And he never said it, but he knew in his heart who brought the good luck.

    Since that guy came to his team, his luck has directly changed from the African Emirates to the European Emperor. The All-Star Game head coach that he never expected, or even the dream of 60 wins are not far away.

    "It's just that that damn kid actually looked sad after winning so naive!"

    Del Harris signaled Magic with his eyes. Magic looked at his face-conscious head coach, smiled helplessly, went up and patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "Akers, I know what you are thinking, don't worry so much.  , Luck is a very important part of a career. I had good luck in the first 12 years of my career I also had good luck in the 13th year when I met you."

    ¡°Uh¡­ The magician seemed to have misunderstood something. Zhang Hao didn¡¯t explain it and nodded as a response.

    ??Actually, although it was good luck, Zhang Hao felt that winning was a win.

    At the end of the season, there are more and more uncontrollable factors. There will always be people who are unlucky, and naturally there will be those who are lucky.

    "Some people have been saying that Zhang had a buggy start to his career, and it was an exaggeration to say that his luck bar was at full value.

    Zhang Hao doesn't care about this. Luck can only be grasped by strength.

    The Lakers are working very hard!

    ¡°The Mark of Glory 3:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, special contract player Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers maintain their longest winning streak this season.  (Ended the Spurs' 17-game winning streak, completed.)

    "Congratulations to the host for getting 1 bronze lottery and a life span of 17 days"

    Zhang Hao must be very happy to get a bronze lottery opportunity. After all, it was not him who was injured, and it was not caused by him, so there is no psychological burden at all.

    But there is always confusion and shock.

    Looking at David Robinson's performance, Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "A player who can win MVP is really not a bad guy. The general was really strong in his peak period! I remember that he still averaged 20+10 per game after Duncan entered the NBA.  And he was out for a year So how hard did Duncan have to be strong when he first entered the NBA to make way for him in his prime?"

    Tonight's David Robinson looked like he had a lame leg in Zhang Hao's opinion. But David Robinson like this, in the excitement of a winning streak and unwilling to suffer a sudden "sprain", did not suffer any more injuries.  Even under the influence of many emotions and just focusing on winning, you can still play at an All-Star level

    Regarding this, the most confusing point for Zhang Hao is-"Why do the Spurs trust their team doctor so much?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 174 174. What should I do if I am OK?

    ? 58 wins is like a budding girl. If you want to get it and eat it, you always have to go through a wave of ups and downs.

    At the end of the season, there was no time to grieve or lament others. The day after beating the Spurs, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Hornets, who were eager for a playoff spot.

    Unfortunately, the Lakers lost 103-109 at home and lost the opportunity to win 58 games immediately.

    Furthermore, the number of losses that had just been tied with the Spurs was stretched by another game, and the record became 57 wins and 16 losses. It was also overtaken by the 58 wins and 16 losses of the Sonics, and fell to third place in the Western Conference.

    The Lakers, a team that defeated the SuperSonics last season, were predicted by the league to be among the top four teams in the division when the league drew up its schedule in the offseason. However, they were not favorites to compete for the championship. Therefore, their team at the end of the season  The schedule is miserable.

    Teams like the Spurs, Bulls, Jazz, Magic and other teams mostly have only 10 games in April.

    The Lakers are particularly miserable. Not to mention 11 games in April, they still start on the 3rd, and play 11 games in 19 days from the 3rd to the 21st. For a while, it felt as busy as February.

    After playing back-to-back at home, the Lakers started a wave of three consecutive visits. First, it was to the far northeast out of Toronto in the United States.

    At 8:22 pm on April 6, after two hours and 22 minutes of play, the Lakers defeated the Raptors 111-98. Finally, they won 58 games!

    It¡¯s not easy!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT??

    Sure enough, 58 wins, a real winner!

    After playing the game against the Raptors, the Lakers came to Minneapolis in the north-central United States. After a night's rest, they challenged the Timberwolves away.

    There is no need for Zhang Hao to complain this time. Most of the Lakers players have been talking about the unreasonable schedule in the past two days-how could they fly to the northeast to the United States to play the Raptors and then fly back half way to play the second team?  An away game?

    But the schedule drawn up by the NBA often causes situations like this.

    As a player, there is nothing you can do against them.

    Fortunately, the second opponent of such a flight is the Timberwolves. The Lakers really don't care about the Timberwolves. This team almost has "I'm messing" written on its face.

    For Garnett, Zhang Hao doesn't care that much now. He is now paying attention to the stars in strong teams. Garnett is extremely talented, but he is still several years away from the Garnett who won the MVP.

    ¡­¡­

    Finally, we fought that guy again!

    Garnett looked at the other side with extremely complicated emotions.

    After coming out, Garnett just looked at the opponent silently.

    On the night of April 8th, the Timberwolves faced the challenge of the Lakers at home.

    The fans in Minneapolis are very enthusiastic, and they are not the enthusiastic New York fans who cheer for their opponents when they encounter stronger opponents, but they are really enthusiastic about cheering for their own team, even if their record is so bad.

    Hearing the cheers of the fans at the scene and so many people shouting "kg", Garnett was not so happy.

    Compared with the No. 9 pick of the same class who stood silently next to his teammates after entering the game and waiting for the game to start, Garnett felt like he was nothing

    Ostertag came to Garnett, patted Garnett on the shoulder and said: "Kevin, we can't compare with a player like that Of course, you are also very talented, but that guy is too special.  ¡±

    When he was selected by the Washington Bullets in a big year like 1992, he thought he was so special at first. He averaged 14.7+9.6+3.8+1.7 per game in his rookie season. He also thought he was compared with O'Neal and Mourning.  Just bad luck.

    As time went by, he discovered that he was too naive at the time. If he had not been so naive at the time, he would not have thought that he must be compared with such players, but would have followed the example of Wes, the coach of the Bullets at the time and the legendary star in the history of the Bullets.  -As Unseld said, he should change his style of play towards the role of second leader. At this time, he may still be partnered with Webber and Howard.

    But at the beginning of last season, he still wanted to compete with Juwan Howard, the talented forward just drafted by the Bullets. Then, the Bullets replaced George Mulesan, who was originally used to replace Webb, with him.  After half a season, he was abandoned by the Warriors again, and finally came here.

    Ostertag admired Garnett's talent very much. Seeing that Garnett seemed a little confused, Ostertag chose to persuade Garnett to avoid "detours."

    Why do you always want to compare yourself with such a special guy?

    &nbBeat the Philadelphia 76ers.

    Jordan played only 21 minutes, making 10 of 13 shots and 3 of 4 free throws. The last free throw seemed to be deliberately missed, and he was replaced not long after.

    After this game, the Bulls broke the best record in the history of the Bulls with a record of 68 wins and 10 losses.

    ¡°Then¡­the Lakers stole the headlines with 60 wins.

    By this time, there was no suspense about the regular season championship. When the Bulls reached 60 wins and 8 losses, there was actually no suspense anymore.

    The focus of the media and fans is now on how many wins the Bulls can win, who will be ranked first in the Western Conference, and the competition for playoff seats and rankings in the last 3-5 games of each team.

    And, on April 13th, registration for the NBA 1996 draft begins!

    This is not an era in ten years when college basketball players will rush to participate in the draft after just one year of college. Most talented college students will generally choose to play for at least three years to hone their skills before entering the NBA.

    Like Iverson, he announced his intention to participate in the draft after the Final Four in his sophomore season. In most cases, it was due to family conditions.

    ? But there are some differences this year.

    Because of Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in his rookie season, many people are interested in whether high school students will participate in the draft in 1996.

    There is no doubt that Zhang Hao is definitely the best high school rookie in his rookie season, not even one.

    Therefore, high school students such as Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O'Neal, Lamar Odom, and Richard Hamilton have received more attention.

    After the draft registration started, TV stations and newspapers hyped up the topic, predicting which high school students would participate in the draft and who would be selected in the end.

    ? Kobe Bryant, a talented high school student who was only 17 years old and had a high reputation in high school, was mentioned the most.

    However, on the afternoon of April 13, before this topic became a hot topic, Duke University held a press conference with Kobe Bryant to announce that Kobe Bryant announced at the press conference that the new  This season he will represent Duke University and compete for the NCAA championship!

    ¡­¡­

    On the afternoon of April 13, Zhang Hao and his teammates went home from training to prepare for tomorrow's opponent, the Suns. When he turned on the TV in the living room and waited for April Clark to cook dinner, he saw the news that Kobe Bryant announced that he would join Duke University.  , I was stunned on the spot.

    In the field of basketball, the NBA is definitely more famous and concerned around the world, but in the United States, the NCAA is no less popular than the NBA.

    A famous basketball school like Duke University introduced a talented high school student who was originally discussed by the media as to whether he would directly join the NBA. Moreover, he was a talented high school student who broke Chamberlain's four-year scoring record for high school students in Pennsylvania. Naturally,  became hot news.

    Duke University, which is already strong and will have many key players staying on the team next season, has been joined by Kobe Bryant and has directly overtaken North Carolina to become the top seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The media enthusiasm and fan discussion caused by Duke University are no less than  Those topics at the end of the NBA regular season.

    "No, where is my ok? Where is my ok? Where is my ok?"

 Chapter 175 175. The melancholy boy

    April 14th is the day the Lakers face the Suns this season.

    Currently, with 60 wins and 17 losses, they are ranked second in the Western Conference, only 0.5 games behind the SuperSonics, which is first in the Western Conference, with 61 wins and 17 losses.

    The Spurs lost 4 games in a row 59 wins and 19 losses. After David Robinson was injured, they managed to hold on for a while at first, but David Robinson didn't rest and his injury didn't get better. His performance was worse than during the 17-game winning streak.  It dropped more than one level, falling directly from MVP performance to the edge of the All-Stars. As a result, the Spurs suffered a 4-game losing streak.

    Before 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hao was training silently in the arena.

    Teammates arrived one after another, and they were all very happy. With 60 wins, who could not be happy?

    But it is difficult to empathize with other people's joys and sorrows. The teammates found that the person who was usually the most enthusiastic about the game in their team revealed a temperament today called melancholy.

    ???Has our rookie grown up too?  Start using depression to look cool?  No, he was already very big

    This is very curious, but no one asked.

    As for Zhang Hao's character, although he is polite, he usually only says what he wants to say and never says anything he doesn't want to say. His teammates have long been used to it.

    "If Zhang Hao doesn't take the initiative to say it, then he definitely doesn't want to say it. There is no need to bother him. It would be more interesting for a group of people to whisper and guess what happened to Zhang Hao.

    Then, Zhang Hao heard his teammates chattering around him while pretending to be training or warming up, as if he couldn't hear.

    In terms of content, men, when they speculate about another man, they often talk about topics that are inappropriate for children.

    "You really think I'm deaf! Forget it, these guys only know how to bully an innocent, kind and pure 19-year-old like me"

    Zhang Hao finished his two or three sets of additional training at home every morning and walked to the conference room on the second floor, where he prepared to wait sadly for the pre-match meeting.

    When I went upstairs, I happened to meet the logo man.

    Zhang Hao's eyes lit up. The joys and sorrows of his teammates couldn't be conveyed to each other. This guy, you can understand how he feels now!

    The logo man met Zhang Hao and said hello, and Zhang Hao responded immediately.

    ""

    ""

    Then, there was silence.

    The logo man felt the enthusiasm in Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes, and asked without knowing why, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Aix? What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    its not right!

    Unlike what was expected, Zhang Hao asked directly: "Mr. West, have you heard that Kobe Bryant has joined Duke University."

    This Although I don't understand why Zhang Hao asked this, the man with the logo still responded: "Kobe? Of course I know. He went to Duke. It's really exciting. I will definitely watch every game between Duke and North Carolina next year.  .¡±

    its not right!  It shouldn't be like this!

    The ok combination is gone!  Why aren't you in a hurry?

    Zhang Hao did not ask this question.

    After another moment of silence, Zhang Hao politely apologized and walked to the conference room.

    ¡°???¡± The logo man was confused.

    In the great days when the team won 60 games, what happened to our super rookie?

    "Forget it, I'd better pray that the Magic team will be eliminated soon"

    ¡­¡­

    Something is wrong!

    There is something very wrong with my rookie!

    The teammates are just curious, but as the head coach of a team, Del Harris always thinks more.

    "Why is this damn kid so melancholy today? How about his extremely strong fighting spirit on game day? He was so excited when he played against Barkley last time. What happened this time? Isn't he on the rookie wall now?"

    When preparing for training, Del Harris felt Zhang Hao's melancholy, and for some reason, Del Harris thought of the rookie wall.

    "It's impossible to say for sure. This damn kid seems to have never appeared on the rookie wall. Who knows what his rookie wall is like?

    However, if it is a rookie wall, where is the point where his rookie wall appears?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way of this damn kid!  You can't guess what he is thinking at all. He is so lonely and difficult to deal with!  "

    "Even if it's not the rookie wall, it's not a good thing for him to be so depressed. The playoffs are coming soon. If he doesn't play well due to psychological problems at this time and we lose miserably in the playoffs, he will definitely be scolded  No! His fighting spirit is very important for our team to maintain momentum, and his contagiousness is too strong! What a troublesome kid!"

    Del Harris clearly felt that when Zhang Hao??Genius¡ª¡ªZhang Hao.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game started. Zhang Hao won the jump ball from the head of AC Green, a member of the two consecutive Lakers championships. The Lakers attacked first!

    Zhang Hao rushed to the free throw line to receive the ball, attracted the back and forth attacks of Barkley and AC Green, and gently threw the ball to the right side of the basket. George Lynch rushed to the right side of the three-second area and took off with a step, grabbing the lead before Michael  -Finley pushed the ball thrown by Zhang Hao into the basket!

    Zhang Hao's jump ball bypassed the opponent's center and attacked from the center. George Lynch received the response from the wing, and Van Exel guided the long pass - the Lakers' play style after winning the jump ball at the beginning. After playing more than ten games, their opponents have all  be on guard against.

    However, there are not that many teams that can defend it, and the Suns are obviously not one of them.

    After scoring two points quickly at the beginning, the Lakers only had Zhang Hao, George Lynch, and Doug Christie, who followed up to respond to outside shots, past halftime. After Zhang Hao won the jump ball, Campbell went straight from the left in the three-second area.  Back to the basket.

    Therefore, at the beginning of the fast break, Campbell received the most cheers. Many fans at the scene were shouting "ec". Zhang Hao won the jump ball to complete the fast break, and Campbell retreated when his teammates attacked This scene has never been seen since Campbell.  Going after the jump ball is the most exciting scene for Lakers fans at the start of every game.

    Campbell didn¡¯t know whether to be happy or sad when his name was called

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Suns attack.

    The Suns players are very focused and really want to win the last four games, so that they can still rush to sixth place. Currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference is the Portland Trail Blazers with 42 wins and 36 losses, with two wins.  The gap is only 4 games, so the chances are slim.

    But the Suns still want to give it a try. Half a month ago, no team in the lower half of the Western Conference playoffs wanted to meet the Spurs in the first round. Now, they all want to meet the Spurs in the first round

    Barkley advanced to the frontcourt and encountered George Lynch's defense. There was Campbell under the basket It was difficult!

    After putting Magic and Anthony Pillar on the bench, George Lynch and Doug Christie in the starting lineup, and Zhang Hao to guard the point guard, the Lakers' defense has been greatly compensated, which is almost equal to 4 drags.  1's defense, the other four are doing very well in their current defensive positions and are above the level. Although Van Exel has poor defensive skills and poor awareness, he is very active in chasing the ball without the ball, is fast, and can follow up.  Be worthy of someone.

    Not long after the Lakers acquired Zhang Hao, Barkley played against the Lakers. Although he lost that time, his feeling at that time was that the Lakers could only attack. After more than half a season, the Lakers have obviously improved.  There are so many!

    Even compared to the encounter after the All-Star weekend, Barkley felt that the Lakers had become stronger again.

    After Del Harris spent most of the season analyzing and practicing, the starting lineup determined is indeed comprehensive offensive and defensive.

    There are still many problems against top teams, but against teams on the edge of the playoffs and not at the playoff level, it is very stable. The record of 22 wins and 8 losses after the All-Star break is a good proof.

    This record is just worse than that of the Bulls. To be honest, a record with a winning rate of over 70% is definitely not bad.

    In the first attack, Barkley did not ask for the ball. Facing Zhang Hao, Kevin Johnson chose a fake move to break through and then retreated for two points and was completely covered by Zhang Hao!

    When Kevin Johnson threw the ball out and saw Zhang Hao touch the ball with his fingertips as he rushed towards him, he finally understood why the small point guards with shooting ability who were guarded by Zhang Hao when he was studying Zhang Hao's defense were not on the outside.  Voted¡­¡­

    This size, reaction ability and flexibility are so buggy!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 176 176. Beat him to death with respect

    Zhang Hao was at the free throw line, and Kevin Johnson took a step outside the free throw line to stop, step back, and take a step inside the top arc for a long two-point shot. Isn't this looking for a shot?

    If he retreats a little more and shoots three-pointers, Zhang Hao may not be able to make a shot, and at most he will pose a threat and interfere. However, Kevin Johnson¡¯s 10th season in his career is almost over. He has made a total of 60 three-pointers in the regular season.  Twenty-one percent hit rate.

    When Barkley saw Kevin Johnson retreating, he felt that something was going to happen. He rushed forward immediately. Sure enough, Kevin Johnson's three-point shot was hit by Zhang Hao. It was not interfered with, but directly hit.

    When George Lynch and Zhang Hao rushed towards the ball, Barkley jumped up high with a swish of his body, knocked away George Lynch who was closer to the ball, and flew out before Zhang Hao was hit.  An offensive rebound from the back!

    After grabbing the rebound, Barkley took a step inside, shouldered it with Campbell, then made a beautiful turn and came behind Campbell, jumped high, and hit the small throw!

    Looking at Barkley passing by Doug Christie after he scored, Zhang Hao felt outrageous!

    "This guy said he is 198 centimeters tall? Is Doug walking on stilts?"

    After fuming for a while, Zhang Hao concentrated on the game.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just now, he almost defended the Suns, but he still defended it so directly Zhang Hao himself was surprised.

    The Suns' starting offense was quite fierce.

    Don¡¯t be careless. If the opponent goes berserk, even the Bulls can be knocked over.

    After the power forwards of both sides scored an iconic goal at the beginning, the two teams entered into a battle.

    At the beginning of the game, the Lakers played with their height and failed to take advantage for 4 minutes. Instead, the Suns were suppressed by the aggressive Barkley's flexible impact. AC-Green was short but had good mobility, allowing Barkley to dominate the offensive end.  Can have enough space to work around the basket and in close quarters.

    Del Harris made a decisive substitution, allowing Zhang Hao to move to the small forward position.

    There is no difference. Anyway, Zhang Hao plays without the ball on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he either defends the point guard or the center. Magic and Donyel Marshall were replaced, and Van Exel and Anthony Pi were sent to the back line.  Le.

    Giving up defense comes so decisively.

    With Magic as the point guard, Van Exel in charge of singles that had no chance of attacking the team, and Zhang Hao in charge of taking over, the Lakers' offense once again improved to a higher level, and the momentum of the league's strongest offensive team suddenly emerged.

    After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Suns by 4 points 32 to 28 entering the intersection break.

    In the first quarter, Barkley played the entire quarter, scoring 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. He originally led by 3 points, but the Lakers responded too quickly and adjusted in time, bringing the momentum back.

    Maybe it was because he cared too much about the rookie. Barkley felt that the rookie was too good!

    Comparing the match after the All-Star Weekend, Zhang Hao has improved again!

    ? 7 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 2 blocks, the progress on the defensive end is visible to the naked eye!

    On the offensive end, Zhang Hao's use of his monotonous skills and predictable movements is the aspect that impressed Barkley the most.

    This time, Zhang Hao did better than before!

    It¡¯s so excellent!  So good that you can't believe this is a rookie.

    For a moment, Barkley couldn't help but think - if I had such a pitcher three years ago

    The game is not purely based on the strength of the stars. Otherwise, if Barkley is the strongest player in the game, just declare him the winner.

    A well-coordinated team, a well-matched lineup, and outstanding player characteristics This has greatly made up for the Lakers' shortcomings of not having a superstar. At least in the regular season, the Lakers have such a good record when they change opponents every day. Buck  Lee thinks it is appropriate.

    But he was still too young, and Barkley¡¯s eyes, which were in a daze for a moment, quickly became firm again.

    He must show his abilities at the end of the regular season and the playoffs, and show that he is still a superstar even at the age of 33. Next season, go and hug that thigh!

    ¡­¡­

    As the game progresses, the Lakers' depth advantage begins to show.

    As for the Suns, their talented rookie Michael Finley played a little impatiently tonight.

    The main reason is that the mid-range touch is not very good. Michael Finley made the mistake of choosing a style of play that he is not good at and chose to go to the basket.

    He is very friendly outside the game. In most games, he does not have that kind of momentum. He is a very stable player. But when he plays against players of the same generation and a historical rookie like Zhang Hao, he wants to compete with Zhang Hao too much.  causing him to make wrong decisions.

    Section 2Defeating the Orlando Magic 04-95, David Robinson made 12 of 26 shots, 8 of 10 free throws, and scored 32 points and 9 rebounds. He was the leading contributor.

    The Spurs' record also improved to 60 wins, becoming the fourth team to win 60 games this season.

    If he hadn't known that David Robinson would fight through injuries, which would worsen his foot injury and fail to recover over the summer, and he would miss the new season due to a broken ankle cartilage that would end the season, Zhang Hao would have watched David Robinson average 22.1 points per game since his injury in April.  With a performance of 9.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 blocks, it is completely unimaginable that this guy is playing the game with pain whenever he moves his foot.

    "Perhaps, some people are a little different from what the public thinks"

    Regarding David Robinson, Zhang Hao originally thought that he was the lucky version of Howard who met Duncan with a better mid-range shot and infinite luck. However, after playing against him, he learned why he is the scoring leader, rebounding leader, block leader, mvp, and dpoy routine.  tournament awards grand slam players.

    Now, after watching David Robinson play with injury for more than half a month, I have a little more respect for David Robinson.

    He Zhang reminded the other party to find another hospital and not go to the hospital that provided team medical services for their team, but the other party ignored him.

    Then, when it was time to play, Zhang Hao had only one thought - to kill him while he was sick!

    ??What is the best way to fight against an opponent with injured legs and feet?

    Of course, running and fighting!

    After the game started, Zhang Hao was like a rough guy, rushing forward with his head sullen from the moment he beat Charles Smith to win the jump ball.

    After the Spurs attack, regardless of whether the Spurs scored or not, Zhang Hao led George Lynch to launch a counterattack. Anyway, it was a rush, forcing the opponent to speed up their retreat.

    The offensive end fell into a positional battle. Zhang Hao took the initiative to direct Van Exel to pick and roll whoever David Robinson was guarding. Even if Van Exel was not good at pick and roll, he still had to fight, even if David Robinson stayed every time.  It's the same at the basket, so that he, Zhang, can rush toward the basket, and George Lynch can also rush inside.

    If David Robinson is not injured, this big man has been selected as a second defense player since his rookie season. He has won the Defensive Player of the Year three times in the first defense and three times in the second defense in the past six years. He has averaged 3.1 blocks per game in his career.  , I wish the Lakers would play like this.

    But now, if he tries to make up for either Zhang Hao or George Lynch, he will never be able to get back to the other person. In fact, if the two of them seize the opportunity faster, David Robinson will not be able to make up for either one!

    Zhang Hao's style of play made the Spurs players' defensive actions rougher. The scoring efficiency of both teams' positional battles dropped sharply, but the Lakers could always seize counterattack opportunities, and the Spurs had the strongest counterattack ability.  Player, I can't run now!

    Now that you have stepped onto the court, you must take advantage of all the advantages you have to take advantage of!

    In the rough confrontation, both teams scored very low. The Lakers only scored 91 points, but the Spurs only scored 83 points!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 177 177. First in the West!

    23 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Although there were 4 turnovers and the shooting percentage was only 8 of 20, the TV commentator said that Zhang Hao played very well in the game against the Spurs.

    Of the 23 points, 15 were scored on fast breaks!

    However, the key to winning is Van Exel. After the All-Star Weekend, the team adjusted Van Exel's positioning. Van Exel's performance after the All-Star Weekend was significantly better than before the All-Star Weekend, even if it was  During the 20-1 season, his performance was not as good as after the All-Star break.

    Van Exel steadily scored 20 points under rough confrontation. Most of these 20 points were obtained in positional battles. From the perspective of winning, they were more useful than Zhang Hao's 23 points.

    Zhang Hao relies on counterattacks to raise the team's upper limit, which is a useless offense, and to ensure the team's stable output, it is Van Exel who scored 20 points and 6 assists.

    After the game between the Lakers and Spurs, Zhang Hao, who returned to the hotel, saw the news that the Bulls lost!  Suffered the 11th defeat of the season!

    ¡­¡­

    Originally, the Bulls had three games left. Even if there was a back-to-back, Zhang Hao felt that the Bulls would win completely and enter the playoffs with 72 wins.

    But who would have thought that after defeating the Bulls once at the beginning of the season, the Pacers, who had lost by more than 15 points in the past two games against the Bulls, would win 103-100 in the penultimate game, relying on Reggie.  - Miller caught the ball and made a three-pointer at the buzzer. He defeated the Bulls at home and did not give the Bulls a chance to force overtime!

    Jordan¡¯s mid-range shot that tied the score with 4.2 seconds left became the most tragic background!

    This wasn't over yet. On April 19, when the Lakers came to Sacramento, the capital of California, to rest and prepare for the next day's game with the Kings, they beat the Knicks and Bulls back to back, even though Jordan tried his best to shoot 12 of 23 shots.  Among them, he made 3 of 5 three-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored 37 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. However, the Bulls' team performance was sluggish, and the team's shooting percentage was only 36%, making 28 of 76 shots.  , in turn, the Knicks shot 43-of-80 from the field, losing back-to-back games, 72-104, and suffered their 12th loss of the season!

    The last nine games of the Bulls were all broadcast live in the United States. Zhang Hao watched the American cable TV broadcast of Jordan's visit to Madison Square Garden. He listened to the American cable TV commentator crazily praising Jordan. After a round of poisonous milk, Jordan lost.  ¡­

    69 wins and 12 losses!

    The Bulls have one game left and the regular season is about to end!

    The Bulls were extremely unlucky to have a game where they missed shots at the end of the season, while the Lakers were very lucky.

    On April 20, they received the news before the start of their first back-to-back home game against the Kings. In the game against the Magic, the Sonics were beaten by Anfernee Hardaway for 8 consecutive goals at the last moment.  Score a comeback.

    When O'Neal returned in the first round of the playoffs and was dubbed the "Glass Man" by the Orlando media, Anfernee Hardaway tenaciously hit an 8-2 run on his own at the last moment, helping the Magic win.  The SuperSonics reversed the game 97-94 and won the game, winning their 63rd game. They ended the regular season with 63 wins and 19 losses, a perfect ending.

    The SuperSonics suffered their 18th loss of the season, with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses!

    After receiving the news, the Lakers immediately became excited.

    They currently have 63 wins and 17 losses, and their winning rate in the division is slightly higher than the Sonics. As long as they win the 64th game, they will lock in first place in the Western Conference!

    The Kings finally managed to reach a record of 39 wins and 42 losses, locking in the eighth place in the Western Conference. They were very happy, and then they ushered in a group of bandits

    31 to 13, 27 to 21, after halftime, the Lakers led the Kings by 25 points, 58 to 33.

    Although the Kings took advantage of the Lakers nobleman's illness in the second half and staged a 55-44 counterattack, they fell far behind. The Kings could only watch the bandits leave and end the season with a record of 39 wins and 43 losses.

    102 to 88, the Lakers easily defeated the Kings and won 5 consecutive victories, improving their record to 64 wins and 17 losses, locking in the Western Conference championship!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    At 6 o'clock in the evening on April 21, the Lakers' regular season finale started with the Trail Blazers.

    Zhang Hao, Magic, and Van Exel were sitting on the bench wearing suits.

    The three of them, the top three scoring players on the Lakers, did not play in the last game, but the home fans did not complain at all. Instead, they were very happy to see the three of them not playing in the last game.

    After Magic returned, he played 53 games, including 35 starts, averaging 13.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 8 assists and 0.8 steals per game.

    Van Exel played 77 games, missing only a few games at the beginning of the season and no other games.sp; "Yes, I am already a professional player. I have played a whole regular season, played 79 games, and have won my first regular season division championship in my career!"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s unreal trance quickly dissipated. He now has more goals and pursuits!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After the last game on April 21, the regular season of the first season of the Iron-Blooded Era ended.

    With a record of 70 wins and 12 losses, the Bulls became the first team in NBA history to win 70 games. Jordan also took this opportunity to become the number one favorite for the regular season MVP in his first full season after his comeback.

    This is surprising enough. Originally, after the Celtics failed to win 70 games in the 1980s, everyone thought that the Lakers' 69 wins were an unsurpassable myth. But this year, the Bulls did it.

    But there is an even more incredible performance. The Lakers relied on a wave of 20 wins and 1 loss. They were 18 wins and 8 losses in the early season and 27 wins and 8 losses after the All-Star break.  A record of 65 wins and 17 losses.

    If there hadn¡¯t been that explosive 20-1 season, based on the winning rate outside that period, the Lakers would have won 58 games.

    But if you get it, you get it. Luck is also part of the strength. At that stage, they had role players who could shoot whatever they wanted, and the core players should be in as good a state as possible.

    In the East, the 70-win Bulls, 64-win Magic, 51-win Pacers, 47-win Cavaliers, 47-win Knicks, 46-win Pistons, 44-win Hawks, 41-win  The Heat are ranked in the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

    In the West, the 65-win Lakers, 64-win Pacers, 60-win Spurs, 52-win Jazz, 47-win Rockets, 44-win Trail Blazers, 41-win Suns, 39-win  The Kings are ranked in the top eight in the Western Conference.

    That night, the schedule for the first round of the playoffs was released.

    On April 24, the Bulls and Heat will kick off the playoffs.

    The Lakers will have three days of rest after the regular season. On April 25, they will play against the Kings, another playoff team in California, to start their playoff journey.

    Judging from the record, except for the series between the Jazz and the defending champion Rockets in the first round, there is not much suspense in the other seven series. The record gap is indeed a bit outrageous. The teams in the top half of the playoffs  The difference between the number of wins and the teams in the bottom half can be up to 29 games.

    Therefore, after the regular season, the hottest topic is not the prediction of the first round victory or defeat, but the prediction of awards!

    On April 22, the day after the regular season ended and the April schedule ended, the league gave this year¡¯s MVP favorite a surprise!

 Chapter 178 178. About Kobe Bryant¡¯s rewards

    After finishing the regular season, all members of the Lakers will have a day off. Tomorrow, the 23rd, will include training in the morning and a team celebration in the afternoon, which means inviting some "lucky fans" to the team for visits, photos, raffles and other activities.

    Last night, Zhang Hao had a good sleep, really slept.

    When I woke up, I saw that it was 5 minutes later than the fixed wake-up time. I was very upset and felt like I had lost 8 years of time.

    I knew that I had to sleep in my dreams!

    However, looking at the life span of 1293 days, it¡¯s so cool!

    After the game against the Trail Blazers last night, Zhang Hao received his regular season longevity settlement.

    If you don¡¯t make it to the playoffs, you will only get 60 lifespan settlement rewards for making it to the playoffs. If you do make it, if you are not eighth in the division, you will get extra lifespan rewards based on the difference between the record and the eighth place.

    Each lead is a victory, with an additional 5 days of life.

    The Lakers, who have won 65 games, are 25 games ahead of the Kings, who are eighth in the Western Conference with 39 wins. Their lifespan has increased by 125 days!  That is, last night, 190 days.

    ?????????????????? 60 wins are something you can only come by but cannot seek. The future Kossi Yong is so strong, they have only won 60+ games once after playing together for 3 years.

    After getting up, Zhang Hao ran around the villa area for half an hour, two full laps, as he did not plan to go to the arena to train today, as a morning exercise.

    Then I started to review and analyze the results of the regular season that has ended, summarize, analyze, and summarize

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 19 years old, January 7, 1977.

    Height 208 cm, wingspan 220 cm

    Weight: 99 kg.

    Position: Forward

    Team: Los Angeles Lakers.

    Ability evaluation: 75

    Physical fitness: Speed ??90, strength 90 (explosive power 86), jumping 94, flexibility 95, physical strength 92

    Shooting: 67 three-pointers (82 three-pointers in the top arc area, 64 in other positions), 92 mid-range shots, 90 layups

    Skills: 68 for ball control, 71 for passing, 91 for catch and shoot, 72 for catch and turn jump shot, 69 for post-up and turn jump shot"

    I have been working hard for a long time, and I can see that all aspects are improving, but in the end, yesterday afternoon, when I had to take a break for extra training last night, my CIC evaluation reached 92, and then I broke through the bottleneck of 74 ability evaluation and reached 75.  The threshold required for most teams to select starting players However, although he has an ability evaluation of 75, his characteristics and performance are far more than other players who have demonstrated a 75 ability evaluation on the court.

    ¡­¡­

    Throughout the morning, Zhang Hao was thinking about how to play in the next playoffs The final conclusion was to take it one step at a time.

    Having never played in the playoffs, who knows what it will be like?

    Just try your best. This is the first time and I am always full of expectations.

    ?????????????????????????Now he is not as nervous about his performance as he was at the beginning of the regular season.

    By noon, the monthly best awards were announced.

    Zhang Hao himself has no expectations for Player of the Month. After winning the Player of the Month in December last year, he played so well in January that he didn¡¯t win it. Pippen took it away. His performance in April was quite satisfactory, and that¡¯s it.  The average performance of the season In fact, the performance in April should have improved compared to before, but it was not enough to win the best of the month again in this dire season.

    There are so many stars who performed well in April!

    Tim Hardaway, who regained his life and helped the Heat reach the playoffs by averaging 23.2 points and 10.8 assists per game in April, led the team to an 8-3 record in April, averaging 29 points and 11 assists per game.  Juwan Howard, who averaged 5.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists, and Clifford Robinson, who averaged 18.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 10 games in April to help the Trail Blazers secure sixth place in the Western Conference, led the team alone when O'Neal was absent for the entire month.  Anfernee Hardaway, who the team posted a 7-3 record and averaged 27.2 points and 8.8 assists per game and Michael Jordan.

    Of course, Zhang is also one of the candidates for Player of the Month, but the probability is not that high.

    At noon, Zhang Hao watched the midday news of the American cable TV station "What's wrong with the NBA"? The regular season data king has always been one of the most important data indicators for fans, ever since David Stern took over the NBA in 1984.  After that, the names of the data kings who were not considered official rewards before were even rectified. The five data kings all had trophies. Even the data kings who had clear evidence before had their trophies added.

    It¡¯s just a big plate

    This year¡¯s scoring champion, Jordan, who averaged 31 points per game, is no doubt. The second is Zhang Hao, who averages 27.1 points per game, which is a long way behind. The third is Olajuwon, who was overtaken at the last moment, averaging 27.1 points per game.sp; With good ticket sales, high live TV ratings, and high advertising costs, the Lakers are expected to become the team with the second highest season revenue, stabilizing the Bulls, SuperSonics, and 76ers who are also in big cities.  team.

    The first place is definitely the Knicks. Last season, the Knicks' total revenue reached 156 million U.S. dollars, making them the first team in NBA history to earn more than 150 million U.S. dollars in a single season.

    The activity was quite interesting. Zhang Hao did not refuse to take photos with fans who liked him and encourage his friends.

    It was the final draw, and ej-chan won the grand prize¡ªa month's use of Jerry Buss's big yacht You could tell at a glance that it was an unofficial decision.

    Zhang Hao, April Clark, and Britney, who was clamoring to watch the playoffs, all drew draws, and ended up drawing three basketballs used by the NBA.

    A kangaroo leather basketball costs more than 1,000 US dollars each. If you want to buy it, you can¡¯t buy it through any channels. The three of them think it¡¯s okay.

    By the 24th, it¡¯s time for tactical preparations

    The three days of rest passed quickly. At 4:30 pm on the evening of the 24th, after returning home from team training, Zhang Hao turned on the TV and saw that half of the playoff opener between the Lakers and Heat had already been played.

    I don¡¯t know if he was dissatisfied with only 70 wins. After all, with 3 games left, the Bulls had only lost 9 games. At that time, Zhang Hao thought that the Bulls would definitely win 72 games. The Bulls lost two games.  The two opponents were the Pacers and the Knicks, and one of those two opponents was still in the Holy Land of Basketball. Zhang Hao thought they would win them all, but in the end he almost failed to win 70 games Tonight, the Bulls won in the playoffs  In the opening game of the season, facing the Heat, who had beaten them once in the regular season, they played like they were venting their anger.

    The Heat were defended and only scored 31 points at halftime!  The Bulls led 50 to 31 by 19 points at halftime!  Jordan made 9 of 16 shots in the half and soared for 25 points!

    Zhang Hao watched the Bulls' massacre with great interest and found that Jordan didn't play much in the second half. The Bulls were counterattacked 32 to 29 in the third quarter, but the Heat couldn't launch a counterattack in the final quarter and consciously collapsed.  , 22 to 23 in a single quarter.

    In the end, the Bulls defeated the Heat 102-85 and won their first victory in the series.

    Jordan played 28 minutes and scored 35 points on 12 of 19 shots and 9 of 11 free throws Zhang Hao thought it was normal.

    Tim Hardaway let Zhang Hao know why he could return to the All-NBA Team and win a first team in the future after suffering a disabling ankle injury. Under Pippen's defense, he relied on the league's strongest breakthrough skills and was reimbursed for one game.  The super three-pointer developed during the first half of the year, he made 11 of 19 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, plus 3 of 4 free throws, a surge of 30 points and 6 assists!

    Under the Bulls' defense and facing Pippen's defense, Tim Hardaway performed like thisa superstar!  Whether it was Jordan or Tim Hardaway, Zhang Hao felt the meaning of this word!

    Playoffs, the stage for superstars!  Superstars often shine brightly under the more brutal defense in the playoffs

    "I am one of them"

    Zhang Hao, who was mumbling to himself, didn't know why but didn't say the word "ba".

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 179 179. Not adapting to the playoffs?

    The second game day of the playoffs arrived, and Zhang Hao came to the team early in the morning. Everyone who came to the team after him could feel the high fighting spirit from him.

    No matter how many times they see Zhang Hao¡¯s bright eyes on game days, his teammates still feel excited, as if they are following a rookie to rob a bank, and their passion is immediately ignited.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? being dominated by luck,??????????????????????????????????? Worries On the game day, everything is gone.

    Last night, Zhang Hao watched not only the game where the Bulls beat the Heat, but also the bloody battle between the Knicks and the Cavaliers with a score of 84 to 80; facing Barkley with 24 points, 14 points and 6 assists.  , with Kemp's deceiving performance of 8 points and 7 rebounds, Payton led the team to a comeback with 22 points, 9 assists and 4 steals, defeating the Suns 104-99.

    What Zhang Hao watched was the duel between Barkley and Payton. He was so excited that he wanted to go up and fight.

    Yesterday¡¯s first game of the four-game series, the first three games were all won by the team with a better record.

    There was only one game where the bottom beat the top. The 44-win Trail Blazers defeated the 60-win Spurs 94-91 in the first game.

    David Robinson was blocked by the inside combination of Clifford Robinson and Sabonis and only scored 22 points and 6 rebounds on 8 of 28 shots.

    But even so, relying on Sean Elliott and Avery Johnson on the outside, the Spurs still played very anxiously with the Trail Blazers. It was precisely because David Robinson was injured that the Trail Blazers  A chance to beat the Spurs.

    Zhang Hao watched the final quarter of this game, and it was a pity that David Robinson made 0 of 5 shots in the final quarter, otherwise the Spurs would still have a chance to win.

    Now Zhang Hao is still regretting: "If the Spurs advance, even the general who is lame on one leg can cause more trouble for the Sonics

    It¡¯s better to get through the first round safely first!  "

    As the playoffs begin, the regular season awards begin to be voted on and announced one after another.

    After a morning of preparation, at noon, NBA officials announced on the live broadcast of the American cable TV sports channel that Lakers general manager Jerry West defeated Bulls general manager Jerry Laux and won 95  -The Best Manager Award in the 1996 season.

    This is the second consecutive year that the logo man has won the best manager. Since the award was established in 1973, he is the second NBA executive to achieve such an achievement.

    Last season, they relied on signing Ceballos, selecting Eddie Jones, and adding Van Exel, Divac, and Campbell to form a strong lineup that reached the playoffs.

    Last year, there were many people competing with the logo man. The logo man narrowly won. Not to mention the advantages in all aspects. Apart from clever signings and good lineup matching, there was no competitive advantage in other aspects.

    This year is simple. Decisively use two players with All-Star potential, one inside and one outside, and trade for rookie Zhang Hao. Such a bold operation helped the Lakers reach the top of the Western Conference regular season. It is better than the Bulls who introduced Luo Luo.  Germany, winning 70 games, is even more incredible.

    It's an obvious award that can be won. Just like at the team appreciation meeting the day before yesterday, Lakers owner Jerry Buss called Zhang Hao "our Rookie of the Year." The Lakers have long regarded this award as their own.  Yes.

    The two awards of Best Manager and Best Rookie have long been considered within the bag.

    Soon, the day's preparation time passed, and the Lakers ushered in the first game of the series against the Kings at home.

    The record is 26 games behind, and the gap in strength is huge, but Zhang Hao chose to deal with it carefully. The same is true for the Lakers. Two years ago, the SuperSonics were defeated by the Nuggets, and Malone attacked with an iron elbow and defeated David Robinson.  Last year, the Rockets started sixth in the Western Conference and won the cup all the way to the finish line In the past two years, the frequency of the Western Conference has obviously become more frequent. Last year, the Lakers also defeated the SuperSonics in the first round, which had won 9 more games than them.  .

    ¡­¡­

    Tejus Edney, the strongest second-round pick in the 1995 class.

    Played 80 games in the regular season, averaging 10.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

    In the "Power Forward Year" of the 1995 class, only three outside players stood out. One was a miserable man who averaged 18+9 per game but had almost no chance of winning the Rookie of the Year Award. He could only sigh that he was born a rat, so why was he born?  It was Michael Finley of the Mavericks, who was known as Jordan's successor because of his outstanding fighting ability and high talent.

    The last one is Tyus Edney, who was selected by the Kings with the 47th pick in the second round.

    After the Kings lost Spot Weber, the Kings should have collapsed and had no point guard, but they drafted a new potato, Edney, who is only 178 centimeters tall, and he really performed well.

    The talent of the 1995 rookies, after playing one season, got much higher than when they were drafted.p; Zhang Hao has attached great importance to this game, but what he is thinking in his heart cannot be taken lightly and must be taken seriously. However, his thinking is still based on the obvious advantage of the Lakers team.

    Fortunately, he was calm and focused. After playing an uncomfortable half of the game and being put on the bench to rest, he immediately went into review mode. At the same time, he was still reviewing the situation based on Van Exe, the best player on the field.  Think about the playing styles of Er and Jason Williams.

    In the regular season, although there are upsets, there seem to be quite a few. After a regular season, count the games that can be truly called upsets, that is, the games with a record gap of at least 10 games.  , no matter what, there must be more than a dozen games.

    But looking at close to 1,200 regular season games a year, it¡¯s only one percent.

    But in the playoffs, this is not the case. Almost every year, the bottom beats the top!

    The team that ranks first in the Western Conference and has an advantage of more than 20 wins may still lose when facing the eighth team in the Western Conference!

    Watching Van Exel play even wilder than in the regular season

    ¡°We should not think of the game as a game where we cannot be careless when we have a strength advantage, but we must realize that this is a game where we will be eliminated if we lose!¡±

    But after thinking about the opponent's defense, as a rookie who mainly plays without the ball and only has one or two ball-handling abilities, how can he improve his performance on the offensive end Wait!

    "I'm a shooter! I accidentally only thought about how I can have more shooting opportunities. My biggest role is to contain the ball. I want to shoot the ball that I have a good chance of catching and the ball that I must shoot."  .

    Then what else can I do"

    Looking at the players on the field fighting against each other without hesitation, Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes lit up

    ¡­¡­

    After the first quarter, the Lakers were 3 points behind 22-25 and entered the inter-section break.

    Fortunately, it was thanks to Van Exel¡¯s desperate effort in the first quarter that he scored 9 points and 2 assists, otherwise the point difference might have been widened!

    Without Zhang Hao to limit Edney, Doug Christie and Anthony Pillar had to take turns guarding Richmond, which was indeed a bit awkward.

    Fortunately, Van Exel could withstand it, but it was a pity that the 8-14 point difference in the first half of the first quarter could not be fully recovered, otherwise the pressure in the second quarter would be much less.

    During the break, Del Harris hesitated for a while, and finally decided to send Zhang Hao up.

    At this time, he had the same thought as when he first traded for Zhang Hao - too young!  Can a rookie like this who is too young be reliable if he wants to win?

    On the other side, Edney, who grabbed Van Exel's advantage and scored 10 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, was very excited. He felt that he seemed to be more suitable for the playoffs than Zhang Hao!

    He seems to have a chance to beat Zhang Hao in the playoffs!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 180 180. Defensive center in the playoffs!

    When Zhang Hao came back on the court, he received enthusiastic cheers from the fans.

    By the playoffs, Lakers fans were much more enthusiastic.

    Especially seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s poor performance in the first quarter, the fans at the scene wanted to cheer Zhang Hao up.

    Zhang Hao was also a little moved

    Suddenly, on a whim, I looked around the scene with a confused expression, and then picked my ears with my little finger

    April Clark, Britney, and Pierce's mother, who were cheering for Zhang Hao on the sidelines, were stunned.

    He actually made fun of his own fans!

    Seeing Zhang Hao's "too noisy" action, many fans at the scene directly cursed him!

    Magic, Doug Christie, George Lynch, and Donyel Marshall who played together were all concerned about Zhang Hao's state after half a quarter of rest Although they couldn't see anything, Zhang Hao was still the same, but they  I hope Zhang Hao can adapt as soon as possible.

    It can be clearly seen that although they are supported by Van Exel, their strength is still far behind the regular season. A very important point is that they are a team team after all.

    And, among them, Zhang Hao, who averaged 37 minutes per game during his time with the Lakers, is indispensable.

    After teasing his fans to relieve the pressure, Zhang Hao looked at the players on the opposite side and got back into the game.

    Edney and Richmond continue to play together. Richmond performs really well when paired with such a small point guard. Edney is also capable of holding the ball and scoring when Richmond is heavily defended.

    At the small forward position, the Kings sent out rookie Chris Williamson. Zhang Hao has an impression of this player It's not that he played very well. He was picked with the 13th pick and averaged 5.6 points and 2.2 rebounds per game, which is average, but he was an NCAA four-year-old in 1994.  Strong game MOP, ability evaluation of 68, 201 cm tall, 111 kg weight, 87 speed, fast and strong swingman.

    On the inside, Michael Smith with a height of 203 centimeters and Brian Grant with a height of 206 centimeters were sent.

    The three frontcourts all have a tonnage of more than 110 kilograms, and their speed is not bad, they are fast and strong.

    Don Lat, the other party was running against the confrontation!  The Lakers bully the technical team's style of play!

    The intersection break is over, and the Kings attack first.

    With Zhang Hao guarding the basket, Edney excitedly advanced to the frontcourt and started a singles game against Doug Christie's defense.

    He doesn't have super speed like players of the same height, but it is very difficult to defend Edney alone. He can average 10+6 per game in the NBA with a height of 178 centimeters. Edney's high-frequency movement  Cross-step breakthroughs where the ball suddenly changes direction are difficult to guard against!  Doug Christie was passed!

    This is expected!  Doug Christie, who was passed by, immediately turned around and followed up, covering the space for Edney's mid-range pull-up jumper.

    Edney rushed inside and did not directly challenge the encirclement of Zhang Hao and Doug Christie. Instead, he rushed all the way to the basket. Brian Grant blocked Doug Christie. Edney used the basket to pick and roll and slipped out of the baseline.  He was about to shoot, but as soon as he came out of the basket, he was roughly stuck by Zhang Hao!

    It was a very rough confrontation, but Zhang Hao didn¡¯t make any moves with his hands and directly challenged Edney to stop the ball!

    George Lynch is indeed the best defensive player on the Lakers' forward line. He used confrontation to interfere with Richmond's response in a timely manner. Edney had no choice but to force the shot in an almost lying back position

    Zhang Hao did not hit the ball, nor did he continue to press forward. Instead, after forcing Edney into this position, he quickly retreated, returned to the basket, and blocked Brian Grant on the right side of the three-second zone.

    With good luck, Zhang Hao moved in the right direction. Although the ball thrown by Edney in this posture was in the right direction, it was short!  The ball hit the left side of the basket and bounced toward the right side of the basket with the force of the throw.

    Brian Grant wanted to rely on explosive confrontation and weight to force Zhang Hao to grab the rebound, but found that he had the advantage when he was blocked and couldn't squeeze Zhang Hao!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s ¡°rebound protector¡± with a probability of 14 was triggered when the rebound was blocked correctly!  Perfectly blocked Brian Grant and collected the defensive rebound!

    The first time he got the rebound, Zhang Hao found the magician and passed it out, and then immediately shot it down!  Sprinting with all his strength The fast break failed. The opponent's Richmond and Chris Williamson actively retreated and used rough confrontation to block Zhang Hao's quick move.

    He almost managed to get away from the two of them by accelerating in the first section of "riding alone", but George Lynch was about to get off, and he was closely followed by Michael Smith. Zhang Hao didn't even accelerate in the first section.  can be triggered.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, take your time, Zhang Hao is not in a hurry at all, and calmly falls into the positional warfare attack.

    The magician holds the ball and organizes the progress??Slow down.

    This is not the rhythm that the Lakers are used to in the regular season, but they have to adapt. Zhang Hao knows that it will probably be like this most of the time in the future. Unless they are very accurate in outside shooting and can still guarantee shooting stability after high confrontation, otherwise, they will have to  Habit.

    Another point is that the opponent made 10 of 17 shots in the slow pace of the first quarter.

    The Lakers, who did not do well on defense in the first quarter, were beaten by the opponent. Although they defended the past 5 rounds, Edney was responsible for 3 of the strikes

    The team's defensive problem will definitely not be solved by him, a rookie who has just made some progress in defense.

    ??This is something he has a clear understanding of himself.

    But he knows he has a group of teammates he can trust, so now, he just needs to focus on himself and do what he feels he should do now.

    Confidence is very important. He believes in his own judgment about what he should do.

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the Lakers made no substitutions. The Kings replaced Edney with the best guard in world basketball, Sanunas Mathilionis.

    Richmond and Owens come on the court, and Michael Smith and Brian Grant are still on the inside.

    Due to political reasons, Mathieu Leonis only entered the NBA at the age of 26. He has almost always been a substitute. However, he averaged 18+3+3 per game once and 17+3+3 per game as a substitute. He has a smart mind.  , although he is white, his playing style is tough.

    Richmond and Owens are both players known for their isolations, and they are also very good at catching and shooting from the top.

    As Zhang Hao expected, the Kings will not be defeated so easily. The opponent may be more motivated to win the first game than the Lakers.

    The Kings, who replaced the three outsiders who played critical moments in advance, had a very anxious game with the Lakers for a long time.

    Zhang Hao was not in a hurry, he calmly did what he had to do, which also made other Lakers players who were a little impetuous calm down.

    When you are replaced, you play well, and when you are replaced, you analyze and summarize what you did well and poorly. Del Harris controls the rotation of players, and the division of labor is clear.

    ??Obviously, the offensive end is limited by the problem of ball-holding ability, and his experience needs to be strengthened. Zhang Hao cannot perform as well as in the regular season.

    But at least it¡¯s not holding you back anymore, and occasionally you can still have an invincible counterattack.

    Furthermore, he showed in another direction that he is the kind of player who can adapt to the playoffs - defense!

    He is invincible when it comes to confrontation and movement as a center, and his static physical condition is also quite good

    It is obvious that when facing a team like the Kings that does not have a strong inside line or forward, he can protect the frame better than Campbell!

    Patiently doing what he should do, trying his best every second of the playing time, not sparing any physical strength Finally, in the fourth quarter, after Zhang Hao made a counterattack, he felt that the opportunity had come, and he already felt that his physical strength had reached  At his limit, he silently picked up the jersey

 Chapter 181 181. Crazy playoff debut!

    At 1 minute and 53 seconds into the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao had just completed a counterattack layup. The score became 74 to 71, and the Lakers maintained a weak lead.

    Before this, both teams had led, but they only reached 8 points at most.

    The first game is very important. In the history of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the team that wins the first game of the first round has a probability of advancement as high as 86%. Even if it is extended to all rounds of the playoffs, winning  The team that plays the first game of the next round series also has a two-thirds chance of advancing.

    ??And among the teams that completed the first round, 91% of the teams won the first game first.

    Originally, it had never happened before for the eighth in the division to win the first in the division. But after the Nuggets did it the year before last, the teams ranked eighth all had ideas.

    And it seems that this year's Lakers team may not be as strong as the 63-win SuperSonics team two years ago.

    Using a Chinese sentence to describe the Nuggets¡¯ idea of ??entering the playoffs in eighth place in the division after completing the first black eight in history is - does Prince General Xiang Ning have the guts?

    Since this game, even the Lakers players and fans have felt one thing - it is indeed not as easy for them to play in the playoffs as in the regular season.

    But as the commentator on the American cable TV station said - the Lakers have a bright future, what does the Kings have?

    Just now, the Lakers were leading by 1 point, and the Kings almost made a go-ahead goal, but missed. Zhang Hao made a quick pass after Jason Williams protected the rebound.  In this case, he remained efficient in the fast break and scored two points.

    However, the fans at the scene looked at Zhang Hao slowly running back, obviously exhausted

    Up to now, Zhang Hao has played for 27 minutes. He tried his best on the defensive end and almost every time he succeeded in defending, he spared no effort to play fast. In addition, due to his lack of experience, regardless of the defense, there will always be extra physical exertion.  Everyone can see how much he consumes!

    The big screen was given to Zhang Hao.

    The live TV footage was also given to him.

    At this time, everyone who was watching the game saw Zhang Hao, who was originally expressionless, suddenly put the collar of his jersey in his mouth, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Richmond, who was advancing.

    The camera changed its angle and focused on Zhang Hao's face. Through the big screen and live TV screen, everyone watching the game saw the excitement in Zhang Hao's eyes!

    The man was so moved that in just a moment, anyone who saw this scene felt his whole body on fire!

    After Zhang Hao completed his counterattack and ran back, the cheers that had just stopped sounded again!  And even more explosive!

    What the fans at the scene felt was that Zhang Hao was exhausted, but still full of desire for victory and love for the game.

    In fact, Zhang Hao was right about this situation, but the excitement in his eyes came from the prompts in the subtitles¡ª¡ª

    "Peter Pan's physical strength pool (bronze) was triggered, and Zhang Hao's physical strength returned to 33%. It was determined that he would return to the physical state at the beginning of the second half of the game"

    I can feel my heartbeat slowing down and the feeling of bursting lungs fading away quickly

    The bet was right!

    It is calculated based on playing time!

    During the intermission, he was calculating when to use this medal, and he got the time right. He actually had no strength in the first two rounds, but he persisted for two rounds and waited for nearly an extra minute.  The playing time in the second half reached half of that in the first half, and the bet turned out to be right!

    Regarding how to use this medal more accurately in the future, Zhang Hao put it aside and devoted himself to defense.

    After Edney advanced, he passed the ball to Richmond. Looking at Zhang Hao guarding the basket, Edney suddenly felt like he didn't dare to rush in.

    Richmond, who had already scored 26 points, continued to perform well in the fourth quarter. He is a superstar enough to compete with Drexler and Sprewell as the second shooting guard.

    This time, Richmond did not miss in the singles. Facing Doug Christie's defense, Richmond turned around, broke through, and hit a jump-stop mid-range shot!

    The movements are done in one go, so smooth that even if you want to foul, it is too late.

    ? 73 to 74, the Kings were still 1 point behind, and the Kings players cheered up and retreated quickly.

    Zhang Hao completed the two rounds before the fast break. The Kings did something similar, narrowing the point difference to 1 point, and then defended it. They had a chance to overtake the score, but failed.

    This time, they want to defend the Lakers again and create that kind of opportunity.

    Zhang Hao determines whether to fight back or notIt's boiling!

    Before turning around and scoring this time, Zhang Hao had already scored 37 points, tying the historical record of 37 points in a single game in a playoff debut set by Lakers legend George Mikan in his 1949 playoff debut. When Zhang Hao  When he scored the second pull-up layup, he had already broken the record!

    With extra free throws scored, Zhang Hao became the first player in NBA history to score 40 points in his first playoff game.

    No one has ever done it!  Neither Chamberlain nor Jordan!

    In 34 minutes of playing time, he made 15 of 26 shots. With 9 of 11 shots in the final quarter, Zhang Hao turned his average performance of 6 of 15 in the first three quarters and 19 points with 7 of 8 free throws into a super high shooting performance.  A dominant performance!

    ? 15 of 26 shots and 12 of 13 free throws. Zhang Hao scored 40 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 assists and 4 blocks plus 5 turnovers, leading the Lakers to defeat the Kings in the final quarter!

    ¡­¡­

    107 to 86, in the end, the Lakers beat the Kings by 21 points!

    Originally, the fans at the scene were not disappointed, but they were a little regretful at the beginning of the game. Zhang Hao was obviously uncomfortable with entering the playoffs for the first time.

    Although one game cannot prove that Zhang Hao is not suitable for the playoffs, fans still regret that he did not play as well as he did in the regular season from the first game. In the minds of Los Angeles fans, Zhang Hao is that kind of talent.  A super genius comparable to Magic, Bird, and Jordan.

    But this emotion lasted long enough for the fans to sit down and warm up their chairs. After playing for a little more than half a quarter, resting for less than half a quarter and a rest between quarters, Zhang Hao made a clear decision in the second quarter.  Adjustment.

    Although the direction of the adjustment is not the high scores, explosive drives to the basket, and beautiful shots that fans expecteven the shot put.

    ¡°Zhang Hao didn¡¯t even take a single three-point shot tonight.

    But the effective adjustments made after a short period of depression have already surprised the fans at the scene - our gentleman has not adapted to the offensive end yet, but his talent means he can do whatever he wants, and he has many ways to contribute to the team!

    ??Moreover, Zhang Hao still scored 19 points in the first three quarters by relying on counterattacks. He only scored two field goals, but scored 4 counterattack goals. He also relied on counterattacks to force the opponent to commit tactical fouls and go to the free throw line several times.

    19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks were Zhang Hao¡¯s contributions to the Lakers in the second and third quarters.

    This has already surprised the fans. Although it is not as good as the regular season, the performance in the first playoff game has already made the fans very satisfied.

    The fans were satisfied just now, and then they went crazy

    In the final quarter, he scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 2 steals. Zhang Hao led his team to a 37-22 madness in the final quarter, massacring the Kings!

    From Zhang Hao¡¯s last 2+1 free throw to the end of the game, people at the scene were shouting ¡°x¡± and ¡°Jint Gate¡±. Until the end of the game, the fans¡¯ cheers never stopped!

    Immediately after the game, the big screen on the scene broadcast the fact that Zhang Hao broke George McCann's first playoff scoring record that had been blocked for 46 years for everyone to see. Previously, Zhang Hao scored 2+1.  When I scored, I let it go once, now let it go again!

    After the final whistle sounded, the staff of the imperial court who got the opportunity for post-match interviews tonight rushed to the side of the court. Zhang Hao was enjoying the cheers and watching the system prompts but was forced to start business.

    Xu Jicheng seemed even more excited than the person involved, Zhang Hao: "Akers, we broke the record again! The playoff debut record is yours again! How did you do it? I clearly feel that you have no energy left in the fourth quarter.  Oh, is it the cheers and cheers of the fans that make you explode?"

    Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Tell the truth?"

    Seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s expression, Xu Jicheng felt something was amiss, but he still nodded excitedly: ¡°Yeah.¡±

    "Did you see me holding the jersey in my mouth?"

    "I saw it! He was so handsome. I got goosebumps and felt the blood all over my body was boiling!"

    "I'm actually absorbing the salt in the sweat to restore my strength Hey, hey, Lao Xu, don't leave!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 182 182. A legend is being born!

    I, who should cooperate with your performance, will do my best to perform.

    Xu Jicheng played such a role very well.

    Just like in the opening game of the regular season, Zhang Hao never expected to play like this tonight.

    He just tried hard to think, took advantage of all the conditions at his disposal, and did what he thought would help the team the most. He had thought about the counterattack in the final quarter, but he didn't expect it to be so violent. He made 6 of 9 shots in 7 minutes.  and 5 of 5 free throws!

    21 points in a single quarter. Since detailed statistics are available, this is also the only 20+ quarter in a playoff debut in NBA history.

    Therefore, it is necessary to make some noise to relieve the excitement.

    What should I do if I get too excited and the character collapses?

    He Zhang is a popular idol!

    After making a fuss for a while, Xu Jicheng's excitement was suppressed. The question he asked just now was not professional at all, just like a stupid fan.

    After adjusting his state, Xu Jicheng entered professional mode: "Akers, you made history tonight. Are you using your actual actions to prove that you are just as good in the playoffs? Prove that yellow people can also play basketball?"

    "I'm not proving anything. I just play the game well and don't get discouraged because I don't play well. I don't feel how great I am because I play well. I can't represent a skin color or a country. I just  As a basketball player, I hope that I can perform well and inspire some people, whether they are athletes or not. I hope that I can become the spiritual support of a group of people, but I will not feel that I am so great."

    Zhang Hao felt something from Xu Jicheng. I don¡¯t know when, the basketball dream of this sportsman who really loves basketball has been entrusted to him, Zhang.

    Not only Xu Jicheng, Zhang Hao can also feel this emotion from the fans at the scene.

    He even believes that there are many people in front of the TV who regard him as a spiritual support just like he put his dreams and sense of belonging on an NBA star.

    Similarly, I don¡¯t know since when, a sense of responsibility also appeared in his heart.

    Such a sense of responsibility is happiness or pressure?  Yes, but unlike other pressures, this kind of pressure is more of a motivation.

    Xu Jicheng heard the true feelings from Zhang Hao's words, and an idea came to his mind - it is really good to support such a person and such an athlete!

    ¡­¡­

    After Zhang Hao was interviewed by the imperial court, there were a lot of reporters waiting to be interviewed. In addition to spending 10 minutes taking a shower, from 7pm when the game ended to 9:30pm, for a full two and a half hours, the man next to him  Reporters have never stopped, either a group of reporters or exclusive interviews from large media

    There are not many answers to the question, but the reporter is so persistent.

    The game was tiring enough. First, I exhausted my energy on defense to the limit. Then I sweated my sweat, and then went all out to defend against counterattacks for more than half a quarter When I rested, I was almost exhausted again.

    But the interview after the game is even more tiring!

    Fortunately, it was finally over, but when I got home, because Britney was here, April Clark and Britney, the classmates who had become best friends at some point, wanted to sleep together, and Zhang Hao wanted to have sex.  No one paid attention to all the massages.

    Fortunately, there are rewards to comfort you.

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao played 34 minutes in this game and helped the Lakers defeat the Kings. Congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 5 days of life bonus.

    Since this game is a playoff, the reward after winning will be doubled. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 5-day extra life reward.  "

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao broke the single-game scoring record in the playoffs held by George McCann, the original king of the three-second zone. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Bronze Medal: Dominance in the penalty area."

    "Restricted area dominance (Bronze) (exclusive for Zhang Hao): When Zhang Hao shoots within a 3-foot (0.91-meter) radius from the center of the basket, it is always easier to find the shooting feeling."

    It¡¯s another exclusive medal

    Zhang Hao has a few regrets. The exclusive medals look very eye-catching, but in fact, when he really becomes a coach one day, ordinary medals will not be as useful. It is probably the difference between wearing and binding equipment in the game.  , the equipment bound to it when worn is always not that valuable.

    "This is to prepare me for taking off my suit and playing when I can't stand it anymore when I become the head coach?"

    Regarding the distance between skills, Zhang Hao knew that in the early days of basketball games, the length of the offensive three-second zone, which was the distance to the free throw line, was only half of what it is now.?strength.

    Like last season, in the second half of the playoffs, they entered the playoffs fifth in the Western Conference with 48 wins. In the first round, they played the SuperSonics with 57 wins. They had no pressure in their hearts and were bearish about winning or losing.  Normally I feel happy after winning, but I beat the Sonics 3-1.

    And this season, with a 26-game advantage in the first round, losing would really be social death.

    That afternoon, they came to the Sleep Train Arena, home of the Kings, for preparation training.

    Zhang Hao also wanted to quickly practice what he had figured out in last night's preparation training with his teammates.

    The focus is still on defense, and on the offensive end The offensive end last night was really not that good. The rampage at the end of the quarter, except for two singles, there was no technical content in anything else. It was obviously impossible to defend against counterattacks throughout the game, so it was tiring.  Hell, just maintaining full defense + counterattack threat, a game can last more than 20 minutes.

    That kind of play is really not advisable, that is, the opponent is the Kings.

    James Worthy also came to the away game with the team, and followed him to the Sleep Train Arena to guide the players in training mainly to guide Zhang Hao's training.

    The magician also plays the role of mentor.

    When we were on the plane today, Zhang Hao asked a lot of questions to the two of them.

    The main thing is how to reduce unnecessary movements on the defensive end, that is, make more accurate judgments on the defensive end. This is the most direct problem that can reduce the consumption of full defense.

    As for the offensive end, if you can figure out a solution in a few seconds without any technical foundation, then why do you need technology?

    You can only take one step at a time, pass the game, and see how to adjust and strengthen your offense during the game.

    The other thing is to see if the coaching staff can come up with ways to strengthen his offensive performance, so that the team can play better.

    ???????????????? Otherwise, if his personal shooting opportunities increase and the team's overall offense becomes worse, he will not be willing to help someone, so he can just be a containment point.

    ¡°If you do what is sure to work, that is, strengthen defense, focus on what you can do, and do it to the best of your ability, this is the attitude that a professional player should have.

    After a day of communication and training, some of the things Zhang Hao showed were incredible to James Worthy and Magic, who already had a very good impression of him.

    This rookie, after his performance last night, was able to carefully analyze and summarize what he did well and poorly in the game, and it was not a rough analysis and summary, but a very detailed one!  The training team might not be able to study it in such detail in one day!

    As friendly channel Time Warner Cable Sports said, both Magic and James Worthy felt it - a legend is being born!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 183 183.Nothing is difficult in the world

    It is indeed so special!

    It is generally accepted that Zhang Hao has good talent in playing basketball. If he can perform like this at the age of 19, if anyone says that Zhang Hao is not talented, even his fans will think that this person has a stupid head.

    "Effort, concentration teammates are already used to these aspects.

    But in terms of analytical ability, Zhang Hao¡¯s impression on Magic, James Worthy and others is too exaggerated.

    What the two of them can do is to try their best to pass on their experience to Zhang Hao and help Zhang Hao make progress.

    After an afternoon of preparation, the next day arrived, Game 2 of the series between the Lakers and Kings arrived.

    The schedule for the first round of the playoffs is very simple. There is only one day of rest between the first three games, and two days of rest between the third and fourth games, because the schedule is a best-of-five-game schedule.  The series may end in 3 games, so the schedule is very compact.

    Last night, the second game of four series was played. Among them, the second game of the series between the SuperSonics and the Suns, the Knicks and the Cavaliers was broadcast live across the United States Zhang Hao didn't even watch it. He didn't watch it before going to bed last night.  He was still thinking about his playing style, but on today's match day, he no longer struggled with it.

    Some things can only be verified in the game to know whether the adjustment is effective.

    Being calm, focused, knowing how to make choices, and resolutely making decisions are the habits he has developed over the past year.

    After getting up this morning, he returned to his usual state of mind and read the battle reports of the four games last night.

    The Bulls gave the Heat a massacre in the second game, 106 to 75, which is simply cruel!

    "Boss Joe is taking out his anger on the Heat after suffering two consecutive losses at the last moment! Heyif it was in the original time and space, would Boss Joe be even more angry? They lost one or two more games at the end of the season.  Couldn't reach the playoffs with 9 losses

    After rounding off, Boss Qiao has made a profit!  "

    For the Spurs, in the second game, David Robinson played better. Relying on his accurate performance of hitting 7 mid-range shots in a single game, he changed his style of play to provide high-post support and scored 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists.  1 block helped the Spurs narrowly beat the Trail Blazers 104-97, stabilizing the situation and not falling behind 0-2 at home.

    "If we leave this situation to Beast, Beast will have to take the initiative to release more videosah, he will be so frustrated that he doesn't want to play anymore"

    The Knicks continued to play hard against the Cavaliers in their second home game. The two teams were equally matched. In the end, with 1 point behind, Knicks guard Derek Harper hit a mid-range shot, and the Cavaliers made a three-pointer.  The Knicks narrowly defeated the Cavaliers 82-81, making the score 2-0.

    The Sonics defeated the Suns 101-87 and tied the score to 2-0. Kemp's performance in the playoffs was really nothing to say. He couldn't hold it in his mouth. He had 29 points, 17 rebounds and 4 steals, and 34 points.  Barkley's 12 rebounds were evenly matched. Barkley's super personal offense was offset, and the rest of the Suns were completely beaten by the Sonics.

    "Camp is really good in the playoffs. Why do some people say that Griffin is an enhanced version of him? Is it better if his skills are more sophisticated and he plays more skillfully?

    "But the pace in the first round was too fast"

    Seeing that the Bulls and Knicks got the match point so easily, and the Bulls were okay, Zhang Hao didn't believe that the Heat had even the slightest chance of beating the Bulls once in the playoffs, but the Knicks  With the Cavaliers, Zhang Hao believed that the two teams were about the same strength, whether from his own experience watching the game, his experience playing against each other, or from the media's analysis.

    But with just one accurate kill, the Cavaliers were already on the verge of elimination. In my memory, Zhang Hao, who was used to the best-of-seven games in the first round, felt a little uncomfortable.

    In this fast-paced first round, if a team experiences psychological fluctuations and performs poorly, it is likely to be taken away in a wave.

    Judging from the first two games, the Cavaliers, who have the best defense in the league, should be on par with the Knicks even if they are poor on the offensive end. But now, the Cavaliers are very likely to be swept.

    If it is a win-win-win system in 7 games, there will definitely not be that much pressure when falling behind 0-2.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the lagging side really wins, it is possible that they will come back after three games in a row, and there will not be such a desperate situation as being behind 0-3.

    That is to say, whether it is a crushing victory or a comeback, the probability is far higher than that of 4 wins in 7 games in the future!

    After analyzing it, Zhang Hao felt that each has its own advantages. The current first-round rules are obviously more exciting. If a 3-2 comeback is really achieved from 0 to 2 behind, as a fan, seeing this situation, you will be excited!

    ¡­¡­

    ??Yesterday afternoon¡¯s extra practice, actually at the beginning, Zhang Hao kept asking various questions to the team¡¯s experienced players when he arrived at the arena, and even called James-?? 

    Seeing Olajuwon perform like this in another playoff game after two consecutive championships, Zhang Hao finally understood why Barkley had such strong confidence in Olajuwon after the Rockets failed to defend the title and would rather refuse.  If you want to renew a big contract, you have to run to hug him.

    It¡¯s so fierce!

    Just seeing Malone¡¯s shooting performance of 19 points on 7 of 21 shots, Zhang Hao could feel Malone¡¯s despair!

    "How unlucky must Malone be to meet Olajuwon, who is at the tail end of his game, in the first round for two consecutive years?"

    Zhang Hao believed in "fate" at this moment. He came to this world and has brought a lot of changes to the development of the NBA in this world. However, Malone's bad luck cannot be changed no matter what

    At night, Zhang Hao felt what a super-fast first round process was.

    There are 3 live games tonight, Game 3 between the Bulls and Heat, Game 3 between SuperSonics and Suns, and Game 3 between Knicks and Cavaliers.

    The Bulls came to Miami and beat the Heat again 112-91. They won three consecutive games by at least 20 points, the most brutal massacre in more than 20 years. They won every game in the last series they swept in one round.  More than 20 points was in 1973. Since the modern basketball era, there has never been such an exaggerated situation.

    Zhang Hao could guess the outcome of this series from the first game, but he didn't expect the Heat to be so miserable.

    What really makes Zhang Hao regretful is the Cavaliers. Although their strength is similar to that of the Knicks, they are still the team that does the best in limiting their opponents' points loss in the regular season. They also had a difficult game with the Knicks in the first two games, but they lost 0 to 1.  After falling behind by 2, the Cavaliers' mentality exploded. In the third game back at home, the impatient Cavaliers were scored by the Knicks by 108 points. This was the Cavaliers' first playoff performance since Game 5 of the 1992 Eastern Conference Finals.  Highest points lost in a single game!

    Even the two consecutive defending champion Bulls in 1993 were unable to score so many points against the Cavaliers in one game. The last time was the 1992 Eastern Conference Finals at Tianwangshan where the Cavaliers were beaten 112 to 89 by the Bulls.  It collapsed.

    "The defensive battle between the Cavaliers and Bulls is still very interesting to watch, but it's a pity"

    The Heat and Cavaliers were swept, and tonight there was another team that was eliminated directly, the Suns.

    Payton had 15 points, 7 assists and 6 steals, Kemp had 30 points and 12 rebounds, and Schrempf had 11 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. With the outstanding performance of the three, the SuperSonics defeated the Suns 101-87. Barkley was here  He gave his best in every game, making 13 of 27 shots and 11 of 13 free throws. He scored 37 points and 16 rebounds, 7 of which were offensive rebounds.

    However, the Suns are no longer the Finals team that year. They were swept out by the SuperSonics 0-3!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 184 184. Just read my ID number!

    In addition to the potentially fast tempo caused by the first-round format, the strong teams this season have adapted to the shortening of the three-point line and the polarization of strength gaps caused by the loosening of referees' standards for penalty calls. This can also be seen in the playoffs.

    ? ? 3 teams have advanced to the second round in one night.

    The Spurs and Trail Blazers were the only surviving series on the night of April 28.

    Although the Spurs' David Robinson is injured, the Spurs are still stronger when David Robinson can stably average 20+10+3+2 per game despite the injury.

    105 to 99, the Spurs came to the away game. After falling behind 1 to 1, they relied on All-Star forward Sean Elliott's 31 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals to score 21 points and 11  With David Robinson blocking 2 shots, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers, reversing the situation and making the score 2-1.

    Soon, the day flew by, and on April 29th, the game day of the third game of the other 4-group series arrived.

    In the morning, the Lakers came to the Sleep Train Arena to prepare for the game. Del Harris emphasized many times not to be careless.

    Although it can be seen that Zhang Hao's offensive performance in the playoffs is still adapting, and Zhang Hao's defensive performance in the playoffs can be seen to improve. If he plays one or two more games, he may continue to improve. However, he can 3-0  Direct advancement, of course it is better to advance directly.

    After the morning pre-match meeting and the 60-minute tactical training session, Zhang Hao stared at the TV in the lounge of the visiting team¡¯s training ground

    Yesterday, the voting for the Best Rookie and Best Rookie Team ended, and the awards will be announced today.

    Although I feel that I am sure of success, sure of victory, and foolproof

    But when it came time to announce the awards, he was still a little nervous.

    The unexpected situation did not occur. At 12 noon, the NBA official announced on the live broadcast of the American cable TV station that he, Zhang, won the best rookie!

    Also announced were the All-Rookie Team.

    He is the leader of the rookie first team, along with Damon Stoudemire, Michael Finley, Jerry Stackhouse, and Arvydas Sabonis.

    The rookie second team is led by No. 1 pick Joe Smith. Also selected are Tyus Edney, Brent Barry, Kevin Garnett, Antonio McDyess, and Rasheed Wallace.  , Bryant Levis, among which Garnett and Rasheed Wallace shared the vote, Antonio McDyess was placed at the center position, sharing the vote with Bryant Levis.

    However, with this number of votes, Zhang Hao frowned when he saw the voting results switched on the TV screen after the Best Rookie and Best Team lists were announced. Jason Williams, who came to watch, spoke first: "Akers, you actually  Not a unanimous vote?¡±

    This is the reason why Zhang Hao frowned.

    He was elected to the All-Rookie Team with 125 first-place votes. Among the 10 players selected for the All-Rookie Team, he received the highest number of votes and was the only one with a full vote.

    This year¡¯s Rookie of the Year voting, there are only 125 votes among 125 voters, either calculated based on the total points or the number of votes.

    In the Best Rookie voting, out of 125 votes, Zhang Hao only received 124 first-place votes!

    After Jason Williams was surprised for a moment, he saw Zhang Hao's unchanged expression and thought that Zhang Hao might not care about such a trivial matter, so he complained and went to have lunch.

    The rest of the Lakers are not worried at all about who will win the Rookie of the Month award. Zhang Hao has already won the Player of the Month award. It would be a damn thing if he doesn¡¯t win the Rookie of the Month award.

    But, who says he doesn¡¯t care?

    It is difficult to win a unanimous Rookie of the Year award. In NBA history, only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the No. 1 pick in 1969, Ralph Sampson, the No. 1 pick in 1983, and David Robinson, the No. 1 pick in 1987, have achieved it in the 1989-90 season.

    But he is quite confident that he will win the Rookie of the Year unanimously. Combining the record + data, he feels that he must have won the unanimous vote.

    However, he only received 124 votes, and one vote was taken away by Damon Stoudemire!

    I¡¯m really angry!

    If the difference is a dozen or twenty votes, Zhang Hao may not feel anything.

    But one vote short is like scoring 99 points in the exam and the one point deducted is because there is a faint mark of a pen sliding smoothly between the two dots of the colon after the "solution" of the word question!

    Looking at the overwhelming awards, he received a reminder that the task was completed just when the awards were announced. However, because the TV screen switched to the vote count, his attention was attracted by the vote results.

    ¡°This is my stage (final): Special signing player Zhang Hao needs to prove to the fans that he is the best rookie in the 1995 class.

    ??Goal 1: In the next game, if Zhang Hao encounters someone with a higher ranking in the same class,?On the contrary, it gave the media a topic to speculate on, and the fans must also be very interested in who did not vote for him.

    There is also the All-Rookie Team. Of the 12 players selected for the two rookie teams, 7 are insiders, and 5 of them are power forwards, which once again confirms that this is a draft year for insiders and power forwards.

    This year¡¯s insiders include some with good talent and strong combat capabilities, and they are of various types. After playing for a season, many fans are indeed very interested in the future development of the insiders in this rookie class.

    By 4:30 p.m., the first game on the sixth game day of this season¡¯s playoffs started, the third game of the series between the Magic and the Hawks.

    The Magic team came to the away game and gave the Eagles no chance to struggle. 91 to 83, they won the game cleanly and swept the promotion 3-0!

    The fourth team to advance to the second round appears.

    Then the third game of the Pacers and the Pistons, the defense of the Pacers who came to the away game was very good.

    Although the Pistons returned to the Palace of Auburn Hills with great momentum, Alan Houston played a weird miraculous performance of 33 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists, Grant Hill performed very well with 13 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and Joe Dumars also had  15 points and 6 assists, but apart from the three of them, no Pistons player scored in double figures.

    The Pacers narrowly defeated the Pistons 91-88, making the score 2-1, going from 0-1 behind to get the match point first.

    When I came to Houston and was about to play against the Rockets, I saw that the other two teams that had been defeated at the beginning and fell behind 0-1 had come back. Then I looked at my own place - "We are the only ones who co-authored the clown?"

    ¡­¡­

    After the two games with Anfernee Hardaway, O'Neal, and Grant Hill, the Lakers vs. Kings and Jazz vs. Rockets will start at the same time.

    Both are teams in the top half of the Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers and Jazz have completely different destinies.

    The Jazz trailed 0-2 and the Lakers led 2-0.

    ???????????????????????????????????? But they are all in away games, so the feelings are almost the same.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The Kings were trailing 2-0, the players had no motivation, and the fans at the scene were in a very low mood. Originally, after the first game, the Sacramento fans had high expectations, but in the second game, the Kings felt like they had just given up.

    The atmosphere at the Kings' home court is really normal. With a strength gap of 26 games and 60+ win teams, except for the Spurs who had David Robinson injured at the start, the other three 60+ win teams all swept through and advanced.  Sorry, Kings fans really can't have confidence.

    On the other hand, Houston is a magical place. It has the highest-income people in the United States, and ticket sales are also very good. However, the fans here feel that they are not coming to watch the game at all, and there is no game atmosphere at all.

    So, the same situation occurred in the two stadiums - the visiting team played very well!

    Since last season, the Rockets' away win rate has been higher than their home win rate. Some fans joked that the Rockets' home court is not as lively as their away games. They asked the Rockets management to please go to the scene and boo. The Rockets players now have the feeling of playing on the road.  , the winning rate may increase

    But tonight, the main reason is that Olajuwon's physical strength is not as sufficient as in the previous two games. While Malone scored 39 points, he only made 7 of 23 shots and only scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists.

    95 to 82, the Jazz regained a victory away from home.

    On the other side, in the third game between the Lakers and Kings, which was going on at the same time, Zhang Hao made 4 of 11 shots and scored 13 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block, and 3 steals. He didn¡¯t shoot well, but he passed the ball very well, with 6 assists.  There were only 3 turnovers, a very good assist-to-turnover ratio, and his defensive performance was also good. He successfully intercepted the opponent's point guard's pass to the cutting player many times, and got 3 steals.

    Together with Van Exel¡¯s 27 points and 4 assists, Magic¡¯s 18 points and 7 assists, and Campbell¡¯s 31 points, four Lakers players scored in double figures, defeating the Kings 112-98 and sweeping the promotion 3-0!

 Chapter 185 185. Another backstab against Boss Joe

    "Zhang showed excellent team awareness in the playoffs, was willing to distribute the ball, and unexpectedly showed strong talent on the defensive end"

    "Akers' characteristics as a rim-protecting inside line have been better demonstrated in the more intense playoffs. His shooting threat is a key factor for the Lakers to gradually find a sense of coordination in the playoffs in the first round"

    ¡°Calm and selfless, after setting a record in his debut, Aix took the initiative to reduce his shots¡±

    ""

    ""

    ¡­¡­

    The morning after the third game against the Kings, Zhang Hao was eating breakfast and watching the news

    ¡°If I didn¡¯t score 40 points in the first game, even if we swept, their story would have turned 180 degrees, right?

    For example, as expected, my scoring in the playoffs was not as good as in the regular season.

    As expected, I rely on my teammates to pass the ball to get high scores

    ??????????????????????????"

    I didn¡¯t take what the media said seriously.

    After playing 3 games, we were promoted, and we played for 5 days in the first round!

    But after the first round, his mood instantly relaxed. No matter how far they go, no matter how bad they are, they will not be worse than the 67-win team in the future.

    ??And they have already done better than the Sonics two years ago, at least they have not refreshed the lower limit.

    After one round of the series, Zhang Hao felt that he had adapted well to the playoffs, 40+12+2+3+4. This was his performance in the first game. This was so special. Zhang Hao added up to the following two games.  He didn't score as much as this game.

    ?? 15+8+3+3 in the second game and 13+11+6+3+1 in the third game. In the 3 games in the first round, he did better and better on the defensive end!

    Zhang Hao knew that he was not doing well in scoring. It was not that he took fewer shots and became more selfless as the media said, but he had no choice. In the playoffs, he was indeed like Klay Thompson, with more shooting opportunities than in the regular season.  Much less, and there was no breakout point in the next two games.

    As for shooting, he is still trying to adapt in the playoffs. Unlike the regular season, which has preseason preparations, the playoffs will require him to grasp running positions, key positions, and shot opportunities.  More demanding.

    But he really didn¡¯t expect that he could do so well on the defensive end when he reached the defensive stage of the playoffs. Although the opponent¡¯s offensive ability at the basket was not strong, he did a really good job of protecting the frame regularly.

    And he himself feels that he has made progress. Playoff games, post-game summaries, training all improve his defense more efficiently than in the regular season!

    Stronger confrontation on the outside will make outside players encounter more obstacles when breaking through to the inside, which is also more beneficial to his defense.

    Zhang Hao is a little sad about this The defensive end swings from 1 to 5, which is nothing, but the middle positions 2-4 are skipped.

    With the first round ending so quickly, Zhang Hao felt a little regretful. If he could have played one or two more games, such as 4-1 or 4-0 in the best-of-seven games, he could have adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs.

    But since it is a 3-win system in 5 games, it is naturally better to advance early. Otherwise, if you really give the opponent a chance, even if the opponent wins a game at 0-2, the probability of being reversed will be very high.

    Although it is possible to get the match point directly at 2-0, like the Knicks, and directly sweep the opponent when the strength is equal, it is also possible that the opponent will fall behind 0-2 and then make a comeback to take away the series.

    The most important thing is to steadily enter the second round.

    No, after eating breakfast, picking up the luggage, and getting on the bus to the airport, Zhang Hao felt that the atmosphere in the whole team was much more relaxed.

    Some people have big hearts and don't notice the problem, such as Van Exel who plays like a madman and Jason Williams who only focuses on rebounding, but others have similar thoughts to Zhang Hao¡ª¡ª  They may be the weakest 60+ win team in history. There has never been a 65+ win team like their playoff performance.

    Look at the Bulls, they won the three games by a total of 81 points, beating the Heat by an average of 27 points per game.

    The Sonics and Magic also steadily swept the promotion. The Spurs had no choice. David Robinson, who had raised their strength to 60+ wins, was injured. He still didn't believe that he was injured, and his performance has been delayed until now.  It fell, but it also brought the score back.

    They all look stable, but even the Lakers feel they are unstable.

    Finally, I got promoted, and I felt much more relaxed.

    As long as you are not hacked, take it step by step.

    At this time, Del Harris did not jump out and say, "We want to compete for the championship." It is very important to cultivate a championship culture.??Spurs, three teams with 60+ wins all advanced.

    The schedule has not been released yet, but tonight¡¯s schedule will definitely come out. Whether the Rockets advance directly or are dragged to the fifth game, the schedule will be determined.

    After the game between the Pistons and the Pacers, the game between the Rockets and the Jazz started immediately.

    Not letting Zhang Hao and his Lakers wait any longer, Olajuwon, who had been languishing for a game, stood up again in this game and performed bravely. He made 12 of 21 shots and 6 of 7 free throws.  With 30 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals, plus Drexler's 17 points and 11 assists, and Cassell's 28 points off the bench, the Rockets defeated the Jazz 104-98, 3-1, and advanced to the third place.  Second round!

    Malone, who made 7 of 13 shots tonight and scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, is going to vomit blood, for the second consecutive year!  For two consecutive years, he was eliminated by the Rockets despite having an advantage in the first round!

    Tonight he only made 13 successful shots and made 9 turnovers!  Just like O'Neal last year, he was played by Olajuwon and passed the ball directly to the referee!

    It was another standard Olajuwon-style dominance game. After watching the live broadcast, Zhang Hao thought that they would play against such an opponent the day after tomorrow

    ¡°I think there¡¯s nothing wrong with a super power forward who just averaged 23.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game this season. He doesn¡¯t want a big contract and runs to hug the thigh of the No. 1 pick in the same year!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The two consecutive defending champions are here!

    The Lakers, who are at home, began targeted preparations on May 3.

    "We have a very big advantage in terms of physical strength. The Rockets just advanced yesterday and will play in the second round tomorrow"

    Del Harris emphasized the two major advantages of his Lakers team in the tactical meeting. The first is the home court advantage, and the second is the advantage of youth.

    But the Lakers players didn¡¯t sound convincing at all.

    Before the start of the Western Conference Finals last season, Spurs head coach Bobo Hill also talked about their advantages in front of the media.

    After a day of preparations, the Lakers players gathered together to discuss tomorrow's game. As they discussed, they talked about the hottest things in the past two days.

    Tonight, the first game of the two-group series between the Bulls and the Knicks, SuperSonics and Spurs will begin.

    Unlike the huge gap in strength in the first round, these four teams all have superstars and very strong lineups. Even the players competing in the second round will be very concerned.

    In addition to this, there is one more thing - voting for the two most important awards in the regular season.

    mvp and dpoy!

    Yesterday morning and this morning, the NBA officially invited a total of 125 people from major media, TV commentators, radio announcers, authoritative columnists, and other sports authorities to vote for mvp, dpoy, best team, and best defensive team  .

    Originally, Zhang Hao didn't think much about the best lineup. In his opinion, there will be a team similar to them in the next 14-15 season. That team is called the Eagles. Under circumstances that exceeded everyone's expectations.  , ranked first in the Eastern Conference after the regular season and won 60 games. As a result, the Hawks did not have a single best team winner.

    But today, Zhang Hao made hot news.

    The reason is that a voting reporter from the American cable TV station posted a piece of paper on the 3:30 pm news program after all the votes were cast.

    It says on the paper: mvp-no.1¡ª¡ªx.

    All-nba-team-no.1¡ª¡ªx.

    In terms of the best lineup, some media will vote for Zhang Hao. This is not a big problem in the eyes of the public. For the forward position, some people really think that Zhang Hao is one of the two best forwards in the regular season, which is not particularly surprising.

    But in the mvp voting, one voter voted for Zhang Hao in the first place, which would be a big problem - Jordan's unanimous mvp vote is gone!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 186 186. Someone has to be the best

    As the biggest favorite for mvp, Jordan has not won the best player of the month this season, making history.

    Just when people thought Jordan was going to continue to make history and win all the first-place votes and win the regular season MVP, let¡¯s not talk about whether Anfernee Hardaway, Payton, and David Robinson might take away some of the first-place votes.  Zhang Hao, a rookie, directly took away the first vote of the American cable TV station!

    The current situation in which Zhang Hao is on the hot news is similar to the situation when Damon Stoudemire announced the Rookie of the Year award, except that the degree is more serious, and the host of the TV station that broadcast the news has more intense words.

    When he saw this news, Zhang Hao felt that Jordan would never pay attention to him in the future, let alone teach him anything.

    However, despite this, he felt so good!

    ¡°I even wanted to call and ask Jordan if he was angry I still resisted this kind of death-seeking behavior.

    But I don¡¯t know since when, Zhang Hao began to enjoy this kind of limelight.

    Los Angeles can really change a person

    ¡°Now that you¡¯ve already played in the NBA, are you still afraid of being in the limelight?¡±

    This is Zhang Hao¡¯s current psychological portrayal.

    Of course, in order to maintain his personality, he still tried to keep a low profile. At least, he looked like a low-key person.

    Now it¡¯s not just about developing in an awkward way. The regular season has been like that. Even teams like the Kings tried their best to guard him in the first round. Relying on a low profile to show weakness in front of the opponent and waiting for opportunities to develop in an obscene way obviously doesn¡¯t work.

    Now he is still low-key because he discovered that it is cool to maintain a low-key personality

    It¡¯s such a noble and pure reason, such a simple and unpretentious thought.

    However, he actually got the first vote in the best team voting, which made Zhang Hao understand one thing - the media's view of their Lakers may be very different from the future media's view of the 60-win Eagles team.

    Although four players from that Hawks team were selected as All-Star substitutes, no player received the first vote when voting for the best team. In the end, no one was selected for the best team, making history.

    Having first-place votes does not mean that you will be selected for the first team. In the most extreme case, it is possible to get the most first-place votes but not be selected for the best team.

    For example, 125 first-place votes were taken away by 12 people, and one person got 15 first-place votes. Then no one picked him in the second and third votes, but six other players were selected

    The current situation is obviously not an extreme situation. It is impossible for him to get the most first-place votes, but some people voted for him in the first-place votes

    "Maybe I can really be selected for the best team? Even if it is the third team, it will be awesome!

    Are any high school rookies selected to the All-NBA Team?  no!  "

    Zhang Hao became excited at this time.

    "The teammates' views are very different from Zhang Hao's.

    It's not that they think Zhang Hao won't be selected for the All-NBA Team, but that from the end of the regular season and when they secured first place in the Western Conference and entered the playoffs, they determined that the player with the highest probability of being selected for the All-NBA Team was Zhang Hao, and they felt that Zhang Hao  Definitely can be selected.

    They didn¡¯t talk about this topic before, because they thought that Zhang Hao might not care about this

    People¡¯s establishment is too stable, and sometimes it is quite troublesome.

    ¡­¡­

    The media always steers topics in extreme directions, so as to attract more attention.

    The American cable TV reporter just cast a first-place vote for Zhang Hao. By the next morning, the news Zhang Hao saw was already discussing whether he deserved to be selected for the All-NBA Team.

    "I really hope this is tomorrow morning's news"

    Hearing what Zhang Hao said, April Clark became more confident: "I think tomorrow will definitely be the news that you were selected for the best team."

    Beauty is in the eyes of beholder?  Zhang Hao nodded seriously: "You are right, I think the MVP should be me."

    "Yes, yes, MVP, don't just eat desserts, eat more vegetables."

    "good¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao feels that he is being taken care of very well now.

    He discovered that young girls, when they are eighteen, nineteen or twenty, seem to be prone to overflowing with maternal love, and will be the caring side in love.

    But the older you get, the older you feel, the more you feel that you should be a princess, and that you want others to treat her as a princess

    In addition to the news about the best lineup, this morning there is also last night's battle report.

    Game live broadcast ZhangThere are different cheers and screams There are cheers and screams in Los Angeles and California areas, but in other areas, curses are everywhere!

    The screen switches to the vote data, and the best team voting is the same as the MVP, but it is divided into three positions: guard, forward, and center. There is no distinction between point guard, shooting guard, and forward. Except for the center, the other two positions are available.  With two first votes, two second votes and two third votes, the center position has a total score of 1582 points, and the defenders and forwards both have a total score of 3164 points.

    Pippen ranked first among forwards with 611 points, but Zhang Hao was selected to the first team of the regular season best team this season with 469 points, beating the second team Malone's 443 points and Grant Hill's 399 points!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "It's really amazing" The magicians watching on the sidelines of the training ground couldn't help but marvel at Zhang Hao.

    It¡¯s not that Zhang Hao got the first team in his rookie season, but the state he was in after getting the first team There are no emotional fluctuations at all.

    At 12:30 noon, when everyone gathered in the home team lounge around the TV and David Stern announced the roster, we saw Zhang Hao's expression was one moment of shock, the next moment ecstasy, and finally a little fright.  Then calm returned.

    In just a few seconds, Zhang Hao didn't see any big mood swings again.

    The other players who were watching Zhang Hao calmly being interviewed on the sidelines of the training field didn¡¯t think there was any problem when they heard Magic praising Zhang Hao¡¯s greatness. Even if Magic was a rookie FMVP, there seemed to be nothing wrong with giving such comments to Zhang Hao.

    Jason Williams responded: "He was like this twice when he beat Jordan twice before, as if he did everything as a matter of course"

    The key point is the comment made by Jason Williams. Magic, Jason Williams, and Van Exel, who was selected for the third team and has no presence Everyone on the Lakers thinks Zhang Hao is the most powerful.  , that is, no matter what he did or what achievements he achieved, he acted as if it were a matter of course and was extremely calm.

    At first, as a teammate, I felt that Zhang Hao was showing off, but now that I have been playing for a while, Zhang Hao still looks like that.

    Based on Zhang Hao¡¯s performance this season, his teammates no longer think Zhang Hao is showing off. This is confidence!

    The teammates originally thought that Zhang Hao would definitely be selected for the best team, but they did not expect that he would be selected for a while. But after Zhang Hao actually got it, seeing Zhang Hao's calm look, the teammates also felt that there was nothing wrong.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao was still being interviewed with that indifferent face.

    "Akers, congratulations on being selected to the first team in your rookie season. Are you satisfied with your performance this season?"

    "Thank you. It doesn't matter whether you are satisfied or not. I feel that I can't do any better. This is all I have now."

    "Akers, you have become another Lakers player selected to the first team after 4 years. I heard that countless fans have come to cheer for you outside the Great Western Forum Arena. Is there anything you want to say?"

    "I'm very gratefulActually, I'm just playing hard. I'm just focusing on my own things. I'm very grateful to the fans for their support."

    "Zhang, do you think you deserve a while?"

    "65 wins, second in the league, averaging 27.1 points per game, second in the league, if I don't deserve it, besides Michael Jordan, who else do you think deserves it?"

    "Akers, you were selected for the first team in your rookie season, which may attract dissatisfaction and criticism from many opponents. Are you ready?"

    "Being targeted by opponents is a good thing for me. I can feel such targeting early on, which is a good training. I hope that one day I can become the player that all opponents are targeting."

    "Zhang, do you think you are already the best power forward in the world?"

    ¡°Someone has to be the best, why not me?¡±

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 187 187. Me

    There is no shortage of big news in the playoffs, but after 15 years, it is still the most sensational thing that a rookie is selected to the first team.

    A certain No. 23 player in Chicago who wants to remain anonymous wants to stab someone!

    In the afternoon news flash report, regarding NBA news, the first thing reported was Zhang Hao¡¯s selection for the first team, and it occupied the longest space.

    Even when he was being interviewed by the media when he just won the MVP, reporters kept asking about Zhang Hao.

    At this moment, there was a voice in the dark telling him - as someone who occupies half of the current playoff rankings with 40+ points in a single game, you should wear your treasured leather pants.

    It is indeed big news and sensational event.

    Since Larry Bird, in the past 15 years, there have been Drexler, Dominique Wilkins, Ralph Sampson, Jordan, Olajuwon, David Robinson, O'Neal  Waiting for talented players, but these people, at most, like Jordan, Ralph Sampson, and David Robinson, were selected to the second team in their rookie season.

    Although from the performance point of view, Zhang Hao is not inferior to these people, but judging from the strength seen, not many people think that Zhang Hao is better than these people.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s fatal weakness is that he cannot lead the team alone and needs a passer. He really started to play at the level of a first-line star after Magic came back.

    However, the media did not criticize this voting for the best team. On the contrary, many media reported that Zhang Hao was selected for the first team and intentionally used language and data to guide readers and viewers to think that "Zhang Hao performed well in his rookie season."  I have preconceived notions. Now I look at the data and record again, and I feel that there is really no problem with Zhang Hao being selected for the first team.

    Lakers fans are naturally willing to accept such guidance.

    These media are all media that voted for Zhang Hao.

    There are those who praise Zhang Hao, and there are also those who criticize the voting for the best team.

    Fans rarely focus on the media, but on the "beneficiaries".

    The sensation caused by the best lineup continues, but time does not stand still.

    At 4:30 p.m., the first game of the second round between the Magic and the Pacers started.

    The Magic clearly have the advantage. Schmitz is too thin to guard O'Neal, forcing Dale Davis to shrink and allowing Anfernee Hardaway to play as easily as he wants on the outside.

    Anfernee Hardaway played very well in this game, but he did not become the focus of media attention like he did in the first round.

    The Magic, a top team with one first-team player and one third-team player, was ignored at this time

    The attention of the media and fans has focused on the Lakers, another team with a first-team player and a third-team player.

    ¡­¡­

    At 6:40 pm, the Lakers and Rockets entered the Great Western Forum Arena.

    The atmosphere at the Great Western Forum tonight is very high!

    ¡°Seeing that our super rookie still looks calm after being selected for a while, this scene made the fans unable to stop screaming!

    The Lakers players were also surprised by Zhang Hao's calm expression.

    The afternoon has passed, and news reports from all major media have come out.

    "why it's not me?"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s answer at the press conference attracted fans and anti-fans like crazy.

    Only when there are different voices can there be controversy and lead to more intense topics. Obviously, this incident has triggered a sensational topic.

    But Zhang Hao, who was at the center of the topic, was as usual.

    After Zhang Hao held the press conference, he went to lie down and rest. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he started warming up in advance as usual to prepare for the game.

    It feels like - oh, I won an award.

    There's no after that.

    The Rockets players felt it was even more exaggerated.

    The mere fact that the rookie on the opposite side got it for a while is an exaggeration!

    Even Olajuwon, the legendary superstar, was surprised by Zhang Hao's performance after winning the award.

    Before the game, Zhang Hao greeted the opponent's superstars under the leadership of Magic as usual.

    After saying hello, Olajuwon seemed to be sighing: "Akers, you are already better than all the players on the scene. Even Erwin and I are not as good as you."

    Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and in a moment, he responded as usual: "I will work hard to win 5 championships like Mr. Johnson, or like you, Mr. Olajuwon."p; After a day of rest and preparation, on May 6, the Lakers ushered in their second game against the Rockets at home.

    Relying on Zhang Hao's performance of 9 of 18 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws, he scored 24 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, successfully driving his teammates. Van Exel's performance tonight  Very good. He scored 26 points and 4 assists. Under heavy pressure, Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and shot away. The one who benefited the most was Van Exel.

    And Zhang Hao can shoot away, not only because of his more determined shots and sharper movement, but also because of Magic's passing. He scored 9 points and 11 assists. Magic also played very well tonight.

    Although Olajuwon scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists on 8 of 11 shots, the Rockets failed to contain the Lakers' team offense this time.

    104 to 98, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Rockets at home, tying the score at 1-1!

    ¡­¡­

    Relying on team performance to avoid falling behind 0-2 at home in the second game, on May 9, the Lakers came to the away game to challenge the Rockets. The tempo of the whole game was appallingly slow, and it was actually the Lakers who played first to suppress the tempo.  If you want to fight attrition, take advantage of Zhang Hao's good physical strength and strong recovery ability to fight at critical moments.

    And it did. The Lakers limited the Rockets to only 60 points in the first three quarters, but the Lakers themselves only scored 55 points as a team.

    In the final quarter, the Lakers successfully launched a counterattack. Zhang Hao scored 16 points and 2 assists in the final quarter, helping the Lakers score 29 points in a single quarter!

    But, the Rockets held on!

    The Rockets resolutely played positional battles slowly. They are not a fringe playoff team like the Kings. They have seen too many winds and waves. They played a steady offense. Olajuwon scored 6 points and 3 assists in the final quarter and Drexler.  Cassel scored 8 points in a single quarter and Cassel scored 11 points in a single quarter. The Rockets also scored 28 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, withstanding the Lakers' counterattack!

    Although Zhang Hao¡¯s score increased to 31 points, the final score was 84 to 88. The Lakers lost to the Rockets by 4 points and regained the home court advantage without being able to go to the away game.

    On May 11th, the third game was full of energy but unfortunately lost. Despite Zhang Hao's ability to guide the morale of his teammates, this game also collapsed.

    101 to 113, the Lakers' defense collapsed. Although they played their best offense since the series, three Lakers scored 20 points, Doug Christie 26 points, Van Exel 23 points, and Zhang Hao 21 points, but the defense  The end is mushy.

    1 to 3, the Lakers are on the verge of elimination!

    ¡­¡­

    On May 14, 1996, the Lakers¡¯ dream season came to an end.

    The Lakers, who returned to their home court, played very unrestrainedly and changed their rhythm again. Zhang Hao made 11 of 26 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 30+ points in a single game for the second time in the series.  , plus Magic's 20 points and 8 assists, Van Exel's 15 points and 7 assists, Campbell's 15 points and 8 rebounds, Jason Williams' 15 points and 18 rebounds the Lakers scored 112 points.  .

    But everything was in vain before Olajuwon's triple-double performance of 35 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists at the end of his peak.

    112-125, the Lakers lost at home, 1-3, and were eliminated!

    The moment the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao, who played the entire last game and scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in 48 minutes, was immediately surrounded by reporters.

    "Akers, what do you think of your performance this season?"

    He is a reporter from Sports Illustrated, a friendly station, so he is very friendly.

    Zhang Hao replied: "This season is a very important season for me personally. I have learned how to play in a team and continue to improve. Our whole team is constantly getting better."

    "As the number one player in the Western Conference, we were eliminated in the second round. We only won 4 games in the entire playoffs and only won 1 game against the defending champion. What do you think the problem is? What was the reason for the loss?  "

    Zhang Hao glanced at the Boston Globe reporter: "Me.

    The problem lies with me. The reason why we were eliminated is that I am not good enough.  "

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 188 188. Fatty +1

    Although I thought I would lose to the Rockets, it would be such a miserable loss!

    After the interview, he returned to the lounge and said how depressed he was after losing. Zhang Hao's current mood was really not depressed.

    After the first game, he understood the gap in strength. This gap is simple-the Lakers have no superstars.

    Del Harris is working hard to make adjustments, and all the players on the team are fully supporting Del Harris¡¯ adjustments. Everyone is working hard.

    Since the first game, the Lakers have been making adjustments in every game.

    Like the change of rhythm, it changes almost every game, trying every means to create opportunities to win.

    Sometimes it is indeed created, and they can hit offensive climaxes at multiple times.

    But the gap between the two aspects of top star strength and playoff experience is really too big. Although the Rockets' rhythm changes are not as fun as the Lakers', the Rockets have a strength advantage and can play an advantage in regular time.  When the Lakers find a point to counterattack, the Rockets can also launch an offensive wave.

    The Lakers have fought to the limit, but their limit is obviously not enough to defeat the Rockets.

    Although the Rockets are not as invincible as they were in the playoffs last season, the Lakers are obviously far behind the Magic, Spurs, and Jazz last season.

    Really speaking, Zhang Hao feels more regretful. Seeing that Olajuwon was still so strong in the playoffs in the last year of his peak period, he regretted that he did not have the strength to compete with him.

    Otherwise, this series will be even more exciting.

    In an instant, Zhang Hao felt melancholy, "You were born before I was born, and I was born before you were born."

    Of course, losing the series is definitely not a happy thing. Zhang Hao saw the gap in strength between his own team and the championship-level teams, and saw many of his own shortcomings.

    ¡°However, we can also see aspects of progress.

    After the first game, Zhang Hao was willing to fight hard and let go. It didn¡¯t matter whether he had a bad shooting opportunity or the team. If he felt there was a chance, he would throw it away.

    He didn¡¯t do well at first, but as he continued to practice, he really felt his progress.

    In the first round, he paid attention to the overall situation, thinking about the team first etc., of course, he also did a good job, helping the Lakers steadily sweep the Kings, but his playing style at that time was obviously not conducive.  He progresses.

    When playing against the Rockets, a team that was stronger both offensively and defensively, he opened up and played. He didn't play well at first, but as he continued to play, he adapted to the NBA rhythm faster.

    It¡¯s a pity that his level of superstar is still a bit far behind

    In the final analysis, without that 20-1 wave, they would have been a team with around 55 wins, and a team that lacked real top star power. It would be difficult to achieve much in the playoffs.  possible.

    Although I felt the gap after the first game and knew it was difficult after the first three games, I expected to end this year's playoff journey at home after coming back from the away game, and I have already accepted the fact that I am not strong enough.  A little, but it was still quite uncomfortable after being eliminated. Zhang Hao occupied the bathroom alone for a long time.

    The teammates outside the bathroom were impatient with the wait, but no one wanted to go in and humiliate themselves.

    The only magician who has a separate office and bathroom at the Great Western Forum Arena can happily take a bath in his own exclusive bathroom.

    ¡­¡­

    The fans in the Great Western Forum Arena stayed for a long time before leaving.

    Six months ago, they had no expectations for this season.

    The confidence of Lakers fans comes from the glorious team history, the excellent management of the Lakers, and the talent accumulated in recent years. They can wait with confidence for the talent to be realized.

    However, when Zhang Hao and Doug Christie were traded and Magic returned, they quickly realized their talent in the regular season. In the first year after the trade, they turned their talent into results and won the regular season Western Conference championship. Fans  They also have more expectations.

    But the playoffs gave them a cruel scene - they really don't have a superstar yet.

    However, the fans did not stay because they were dissatisfied with their talented stars.

    As Lakers fans, they pay more attention to their own players. They saw Zhang Hao's progress in the 5 games of the second round!

    From 17 points in the first game, to 24 points in the second game, to 31 points in the third game, to 21 points in the fourth game, and finally 30 points, Zhang Hao scored in all the next four games except the first game.  When it reaches 20+, the hit rate is sometimes quite good.As time went by due to the psychological pressure and fatigue brought about by the new season, in addition to studying, he also began to resume training.

    In fact, when he was studying, he was not idle. He often turned around and turned on the learning mode in his dreams to plan for the next training.

    On the night of May 25th, the Magic were swept and the Bulls advanced to the Finals.

    By May 27th, the Rockets lost to the SuperSonics at home in Game 6 and were eliminated 2-4. Two finals teams were revealed!

    The Rockets failed to defend their title this time, and Olajuwon lost the opportunity to overtake Jordan and become the number one active player.

    On the 25th, the exam was finished. After the exam, he took April Clark, the two girls who came to eat and drink together, Pierce, who came back from the exam, his mother and others, went out together. He is now in Nanjing.  Enjoying the sunshine in Miami on the coast, he takes a good rest before the summer work has officially started. After this year's finals, he will start targeted training, and he will be busy by then.

    After watching Game 6 between the Rockets and SuperSonics, Zhang Hao felt a little regretful. If the Rockets entered the finals, then the Lakers would lose to the finals team. At least it would sound better

    But Kemp is really fierce!  In the six games of the Western Conference Finals, he averaged 69% shooting and 24.7 points and 13.3 rebounds per game.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the blue.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Jordan was in a good mood after sweeping the Magic and reaching the finals, completing his revenge.

    He was looking forward to it, waiting for Olajuwon to enter the finals, but he didn't expect to feel lonely while waiting.

    But it¡¯s not bad that the opponent is Payton. When Jordan won the first three consecutive championships, his favorite thing to do in the regular season was to bully Payton, a stubborn young man.

    Now that Payton has become the defensive god at the point guard position in NBA history, he is not so easy to bully. Kemp is also a tough nut for the Bulls.

    But no problem, what Jordan lacks most is self-confidence. No matter who the opponent is, he has enough confidence.

    After watching the sixth game between the Sonics and Rockets, Jordan did not turn off the TV, but prepared to watch the news. Now he likes watching TV, and finally no one competes with him for the headlines!

    He is ready to appreciate how the media will describe his return to the Finals after Jordan's comeback, and how they will predict the battle between Jordan and Payton

    It doesn¡¯t matter whether he predicts whether they will win or lose. He doesn¡¯t expect much anymore. As long as he can make headlines, he is satisfied.

    Finally, the long news time after the game is over, and the sports news at 10 p.m. begins.

    Jordan was looking forward to hearing the opening of "The Bulls welcome the SuperSonics to the Finals", but as soon as the news started, the melody of "breaking-news" appeared.

    Instantly, Jordan felt bad!

    This feeling is so familiar!

    After the news started, the host said in a passionate tone: "According to the reporter's investigation, Suns star Charles Barkley notified the Suns to trade him to the Los Angeles Lakers in an attempt to join forces with Akers. If the Suns do not  Agree, I will refuse to implement the player option"

    Looking at the picture of Barkley wearing Lakers players on the TV screen, next to a picture of Zhang Hao, Jordan was stunned.

    "It's the Lakers again! It's this rookie again! Even after being eliminated, he comes out to steal the spotlight This fat guy actually went to the Lakers!

    These two bastards are teaming up to steal my headlines!  "

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 189 189. My grandma can also lead the Bulls to win the championship

    When it comes to grabbing headlines, the Lakers are professionals.

    Sometimes, they don¡¯t need to take the initiative. For example, right now, the Lakers have no intention of introducing Barkley, and they have no illegal contact with Barkley.

    In fact, according to normal operations, Barkley had no way to contact the Lakers. He even had no way to express to the Lakers that he wanted to go before he actually refused to implement the player option.

    But he can express to the Suns that he wants to go to the Lakers, and let the Suns tell the Lakers that he wants to go to the Lakers.

    On May 28, the morning after the Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao called the logo man and asked about Barkley's intention to join.

    Due to rules issues, the logo man did not say it directly, but replied, "Any transaction in the NBA can happenexcluding you."

    Then he called Henry Thomas and tried to find out about Barkley's itinerary. At noon, when the group had lunch on a beach in Miami, Zhang Hao proposed changing the itinerary and going to Hawaii.

    Originally, the biggest purpose of the group¡¯s trip this time was to make Zhang Hao happy.

    Although others couldn¡¯t feel it and saw Zhang Hao was the same as before, these people who were close to him could still feel that Zhang Hao was deliberately doing something to divert the emotion of "not being happy watching others play the next round of the game".

    Since it¡¯s all about diverting the mood and the exam is over, Pierce, April Clark, Britney, and Lelin are all on vacation. It¡¯s definitely better to go out and have fun than to find ways to divert their attention.

    Howard Schultz was also relieved. He sent two nannies, lent Zhang Hao a private jet, and released his daughter.

    It¡¯s not a matter of where to go, let¡¯s change the location to Hawaii. Others have no objections and are very happy.

    Pierce was the most excited, but a little confused: "Why go to Hawaii?"

    "Barkley is in Hawaii and I want to talk to him."

    "Is Barkley really coming to the Lakers? Oh, I thought it was fake news."

    ¡°Trump is not president yet.¡±

    "?"

    "Uh I just want to communicate with him directly and block him there so that he doesn't have the opportunity to communicate with other stars."

    "Thisis also blocking the door?" Pierce was a talkative, and he didn't know what to say when he heard this.

    But Pierce was Pierce, and he immediately became excited: "If we had Barkley, we wouldn't be able to beat the Rockets, right? Maybe now we will play against the Bulls! Oh my god, that's Barkley! I can't even dream of it.  I never thought Barkley would come to our Lakers team"

    You can always find the point where you can turn on the chatterbox mode, and Zhang Hao was convinced by Pierce.

    However, he did not expect that Barkley would choose them.

    He remembered that Barkley would give up more than 20 million and actively begged to go to the Rockets, but he didn't expect that it would eventually fall to the Lakers.

    At this time, he felt the Lakers' attraction to superstars. Under the same or even disadvantageous conditions, they could still have the upper hand in competing for superstar players.

    Pierce fell into chatterbox mode. April Clark ignored Pierce and asked Zhang Hao: "Aren't we going to watch the finals?"

    The Internet is not yet developed these days, and they are not like Jordan who watches the news after the game. At 10 o'clock last night, both Zhang Hao and April Clark turned off Big Brother and went back to where they had large floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the news.  I went to the ocean view bedroom to gallop, and I just saw the news this morning.

    When they played Yu Wen last night, they were still discussing where to go to Illinois today, waiting to watch the finals on June 1st.

    Zhang Hao was no longer that interested in the finals and responded: "The Bulls will definitely win."

    April Clark was curious: "Are you so confident in the strength of the Bulls?"

    Zhang Hao shrugged and responded: "Yes, my grandma has teammates like Pippen and Rodman, who can defend each other two at a time. She can also lead the team to win the championship."

    These words made a group of people laugh non-stop.

    At this time, no one noticed that the waiter who had just approached them and was about to serve them the food immediately left quickly and dialed the phone number of a reporter using the phone at the counter The manager would scold him if he served the food slowly, but the message was sent out late.  Yeah, it¡¯s so slow to get the money!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    While Zhang Hao was discussing with Pierce about learning future meeting skills from another team in Los Angeles, the management of the Lakers at the Time Warner Training Center in Los Angeles was also discussing Barkley.

    Accident, ?.

    After putting away the luggage, Pierce hurried over to find Zhang Hao, who was helping the little Loli sort out the large boxes of dolls.

    "Akers, when are we going to find Barkley?"

    Seeing that Pierce was more anxious than him, Zhang Hao placed a teddy bear on the sofa and responded: "Why are you so anxious? Let's rest today. Aren't you tired after flying for 10 hours?"

    "Yes, let's go tomorrow?"

    ¡°I have to train tomorrow, can we come together?¡±

    "Aren't we here to block the door of Barkley's house? How do we start training?"

    ¡°I¡¯ve been resting for half a month and it¡¯s time to start training.¡±

    This calm look made the impatient Pierce go crazy: "Akers, aren't you worried at all that Barkley won't come? This is the superstar we have been waiting for for many years!"

    "The decision is not up to us. I asked my agent to inquire. It is true that Barkley wants to come to the Lakers. He has rented a house here and is expected to stay here for at least a month. That shows that he is true.  Come to think of it, give the Suns a death notice directly and jump out of the contract if the deal fails"

    "Then we have to meet with him earlier. You are the star of the Lakers, so you must show sincerity!" Pierce gave people the impression that he was a standard spiritual shareholder.

    "What if the management doesn't plan to bring in Barkley?"

    Zhang Hao's words made Pierce stunned: "No way? Who would refuse Barkley to join without a salary increase? I checked that his salary next season will only be 4.7 million, and some starters now want this salary."

    Zhang Hao shrugged: "Who knows, we can't cause trouble to the management, maybe they have other ideas."

    As for whether they want Barkley with the logo man, it¡¯s really hard to tell. Zhang Hao knows that what the logo man wants is another fat man. However, for many complicated reasons that is, Zhang Hao wants another fat man.  If you are offended, it doesn¡¯t matter whether they come to tell you or not.

    Therefore, he has to do his best to find a way to make up for it.

    But he can¡¯t cause trouble to the team. If the team wants to give another fat man a try, of course he will support it. If he gives it a try, the bicycle will become a motorcycle.

    I came here to prepare for a situation - the Lakers wanted but were reluctant to give up the chips to negotiate with the Suns.

    Because Barkley can opt out of the contract, what if, like 20 years later, the management is overconfident and wants nothing?

    At this time, it¡¯s up to him to take action.

    And the time doesn¡¯t need to be so fixed. Once there is news that the Lakers and Suns are in in-depth negotiations, then you can go.

    "Now we have to wait and see the attitude of the management. When we come here, just have fun and train well. If the time comes when we need to block the door, I will take you with me."

    It¡¯s just like what Zhang Hao said. Pierce now understands that this is not a good time to strike up a conversation and make friends, although he didn¡¯t expect the Lakers to have a reason to refuse Barkley who took the initiative to join

    Listening to Zhang Hao¡¯s calm analysis and seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s calm attitude, Pierce thought that he would return to Los Angeles immediately after finishing the exam and wanted to comfort Zhang Hao.

    As a result, I didn¡¯t go to school for a year, and after being eliminated in the playoffs, I went to prepare for the exam for a few days, and got an A in every exam

    Why is the gap between people so big!

 Chapter 190 190. Various postures to grab headlines

    ? News related to Zhang Hao and the Lakers were continuously exposed, and the Lakers suddenly stole all the limelight in the playoffs.

    But on the first day of the new month, June 1, the day of the first game of the Finals, the attention of the media and fans still returned to Chicago, the Bulls and the SuperSonics.

    However, there was still a topic related to Zhang Hao on the first day - will Jordan play blindly in anger again?

    Some media have discovered a pattern. During the regular season, every time Jordan scored 50 points or more, it was almost always related to Zhang Hao.

    ¡°Either he fights directly with Zhang Hao, or he goes berserk after being connoted by Zhang Hao, or he goes berserk after Zhang Hao steals the headlines.

    But not every time he was criticized or grabbed the headlines, Jordan's crazy shooting was a good performance. At least two losses of the Bulls in the regular season were because Jordan lost the shot after being stimulated.

    Therefore, in order to stimulate Jordan again, Time Warner Cable Sports released a piece of news on the morning of June 1st - Akers was the "real culprit" who prevented the Bulls from losing by single digits.

    The content is probably that Zhang Hao defeated the Bulls twice, and the Bulls lost twice because Jordan was stimulated by Zhang Hao

    However, Jordan has now begun to break the rules. With the awareness that he owns half of the basketball world, he is really used to being grabbed headlines

    In the first game of the Finals, Jordan only took 18 shots, making 10 of 18 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. He played very reasonably.

    Although the Bulls did not guard Kemp and were beaten by Kemp with 32 points and 16 rebounds, Pippen scored 21 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Kukoc, who came off the bench, scored 22 points. The Bulls team played very well offensively.  Well, they defeated the Sonics at home 107-99 and won the first game of the Finals.

    But in the second game, the Sonics changed their strategy and no longer flanked Jordan, allowing Payton to defend alone.

    Needless to say, the effect is really astonishing. The Sonics' defensive ability to cut off passes is very strong. They did a very good job against the Lakers in the regular season and the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals. Tonight, the Bulls only had 15 assists.  , incomparable to the previous one.

    Moreover, Jordan only made 9 of 24 shots under Payton's defense and scored 29 points and 8 assists. Because Pippen was limited by the lack of singles threat when holding the ball, Jordan could only hold the ball. Although he had 8 assists, the Bulls as a whole  The offense played poorly.

    The key is that Payton, who only scored 11 points, beat Ron Harper and Jordan to score two goals at the last moment. 92 to 88, the SuperSonics gained the home court advantage and tied with the Bulls 1-1.

    When Payton defended Jordan alone and the Sonics successfully cut off the Bulls' passing and receiving lines, the finals began a fierce defensive battle mode.

    However, after the Sonics tied 1-1 on the road, the media were looking down on the Bulls, promoting the possibility that the Bulls might become the losing team in the finals with the best record in history.

    But on June 6, the Bulls showed the superb defensive capabilities of their three first-defense players.

    Playing defense Although Jordan only made 5 of 19 shots in the third game, a shooting rate of less than 30%, and only scored 17 points, he had 7 steals and 2 blocks!

    The Bulls' offense in this game was terrible. The team only scored 86 points, but they defended the Sonics and only scored 78 points!

    86 to 78, the Bulls came to Seattle and immediately took back the home court advantage!

    17 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 7 steals and 2 blocks. Jordan looked at his data. The 7 steals set a new high for his personal Finals steals. The 16 rebounds also set a new high for his personal Finals rebounds. He even grabbed them back directly.  With the home field advantage, at this time, he had a vague feeling that he should sing a song on the spot, and it had to be a sound-breaking one.

    Don¡¯t ask why, just ask as half of the country should have the self-awareness

    Sure enough, after the game, when he was surrounded by a group of reporters after the on-site interview, the first question he was asked was: "Michael, I heard that the Lakers have agreed to use Van Exel, who was selected for the third team, as a player.  The core chips are traded for Barkley, what do you think about this?"

    Sure enough, Jordan could already see the headlines moving away from his back injury He replied expressionlessly: "Really, this is really good news, I wish them happiness"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After arriving in Hawaii, Zhang Hao devoted himself to training.

    After the series against the Rockets, Zhang Hao has a clearer direction on the aspects that he needs to strengthen.

    Some need to wait until James Worthy's vacation is over. After the playoffs, James Worthy will have to rest for 5-6 weeks. Zhang Hao wants to learn to use his athletic ability and size to strengthen his ability to cut inside and attack the basket in positional battles.  training, need andWhat on earth did he do todaywait, what did he ask me to do when I left?  train!

    No!  I seem to have agreed?

    God, it¡¯s a bit difficult to deal with such a self-disciplined teammate!  He won't drag me to train every day, right?

    However, when you play with such self-disciplined teammates, you are not afraid that you will not win, right?

    ??Wouldn¡¯t it be okay for me to be lazy more often during the regular season?

    Just practice, it¡¯s not a big deal to teach him and that college student"

    On the other side, after seeing off Barkley, Zhang Hao began to show his excitement, feeling like he was carrying wind when he walked

    The introduction of Barkley went much smoother than Zhang Hao expected.

    "However, in this way, our inside combination is ready. We have a real big team. With me and Jason, Magic may also renew his contract. The center position is a bit weak. We can focus on the double power forward combination.  , but what to do on the outside The man with the logo must have had his thoughts when he sent Nick away. It¡¯s really strange. I thought he would use Doug as a bargaining chip. Doesn¡¯t he like Nick very much? He has been letting Nick go since the All-Star Weekend.  The old fox adds drama to Nick"

    With the core combination inside, Zhang Hao is very confident in the operation of the logo man. At least he has secured a top three power forward in the league, and he is not so worried about the next operation on the outside.

    He is relaxed here. The trade between the Suns and Lakers that was exposed last night has just reached its peak.

    The Suns didn¡¯t come out to refute the rumors, and the Lakers didn¡¯t come out to refute the rumors either. Lakers fans were excited!  Just like Pierce, they also regard Barkley as the most powerful forward they have introduced in team history!

    This time, it really even stole the spotlight from the finals!

    ¡­¡­

    After the trade chips sent by the Lakers were exposed, the Suns were looking for trading partners everywhere, trying to exchange Anthony Peeler, Donyel Marshall, and Van Exel for this year's and next year's draft picks. News continued to be popular.  news.

    Finally, after the SuperSonics narrowly defeated the Bulls 91-85 at home and the Finals reached the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Finals took back the limelight from the Lakers' introduction of Barkley.

    On June 11, the Bulls and SuperSonics at home started a fierce battle.

    At the last minute, the two teams were tied at 86. Jordan made 10 of 26 shots and 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 25 points. Payton's defense was quite good, but Payton was also prevented from making only 17 shots.  Scored 19 points on 7 shots. The Sonics tied with the Bulls thanks to Kemp's 20 points on 7 of 9 shots.

    In the last 7 seconds, Jordan caught the ball and hit Payton in isolation, turning over and hitting a fadeaway jumper. The Bulls defeated the SuperSonics 88-86 and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

    Now, Jordan thinks it¡¯s time to make headlines!

    During the post-game interview, no one asked about Zhang Hao or Barkley¡¯s trade. He finally felt at peace. His victory in the finals was going to make headlines!

    but¡­¡­

    After the game, a piece of entertainment news occupied the headlines of the sports section

    Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company officially announced that the young superstar Zhang Hao of the Los Angeles Lakers will join the ranks of Ultraman as the protagonist, and a new Ultraman x Ultraman is born!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 191 191. The two blossoms of style and style

    The past 20 years have been a period of crazy export of Japanese culture. If you have money, a piece of land in Tokyo can buy the entire United States.

    Among the cultures exported from Japan, tokusatsu films, one of the label cultures, are not as popular in the United States as in the Asia-Pacific region, but they still have an audience. The most famous one is, of course, Ultraman.

    If an American actor plays Ultraman, it will only make news. If an Asian actor wants to film Ultraman in the United States, it will probably be difficult for him to make news.

    ????????????? But it¡¯s different if an NBA all-star top vote-getter wants to make a special feature film, and the name of the protagonist of this special feature film is the English name of the NBA all-star top vote-getter.

    Although some media immediately criticized him for not doing his job properly, the news went viral!

    Zhang Hao successfully broke through the dimensional wall. When he was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs with a poor record and could not dominate the headlines in basketball, he found a new way to export entertainment news and occupied the headlines of the sports news section

    Culture and sports are blooming!

    The logo man who was busy working on how to guide the media¡¯s public opinion after Barkley¡¯s transaction was stunned when he saw the news

    Before, Zhang Hao mentioned that he would shoot a TV series in the summer.

    The logo man thought he was going to be a supporting role or a guest star, but who knew he was actually the protagonist!

    Furthermore, in order to gain popularity, Tsuburaya Tokusatsu announced Zhang Hao¡¯s salary, which was US$5 million This is higher than Zhang Hao¡¯s three-year rookie contract salary combined!

    Moreover, after the logo man made a special inquiry, he discovered something. When Zhang Hao went to film a TV series, he invested in an entertainment studio that had just been established in China. He signed a contract with Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company in a cooperative manner, with up to 100%  Ninety-five of the scenes were filmed in the United States, but the United States was only the "filming location". The filming locations were actually China and Japan, and even tax avoidance methods were used

    ¡°He is perfect for Los Angeles!¡±

    The logo man feels that this is the son of God who was given to him by God to build a great team!

    In the eyes of logo men, the Los Angeles Lakers should not only be able to win games and championships, but also have enough topics and be in the spotlight all the time.

    And Zhang Hao is such a Laker!

    ¡­¡­

    "Paul, please spend more time here with your aunt, aren't there a lot of places you haven't gone to yet? You don't have much vacation time a year"

    "Oh Ax, I have a doubt."

    "speak."

    "Why do I feel that you are more active in filming than recruiting Barkley?"

    "Have it?"

    "have."

    "This is your illusion!"

    "Yeah?"

    "right!"

    Looking at Zhang Hao, who received a call last night and was in a hurry to go back to Los Angeles early this morning, packed his things and left, it was only right that Pierce believed this friend's words!

    Pierce¡¯s mother still has many attractions and activities that she has not taken photos of. Once she has taken enough photos, she will take the photos back to show off to her sisters. She will not go back to Los Angeles yet. When she wants to go back, she will go back.

    Originally, I only went out to play with Zhang Hao to relax. Now that the Lakers have introduced Barkley, Zhang Hao will definitely no longer be depressed. Pierce's mother can finally play happily.

    ¡°Just keep a son by your side to be a photographer and take pictures.

    As for Pierce, he also wants to go to Hollywood to watch Zhang Hao filming, and join in an extra act or something, but that doesn¡¯t exist. His mother loves her son and wants him to be by her side.

    On the way back to Los Angeles on the little Lolita's father's private plane, Britney kept talking: "Brother, when we get to Los Angeles later, I'll go home and get some clothes first! By the way, how many scenes do I have? Do I have any lines?  ?¡±

    "Yes, your lens seems to be the power source of a work-study program in a beverage store. Your store is often trampled to pieces. Your lines'Help', 'The monster is coming', 'Ultraman X!'  It's Ultraman X', that's probably the line."

    "Then do I have a close-up?"

    "have¡­¡­"

    Seeing Britney¡¯s excitement, April Clark burst out with a proud laugh in her heart. She is the heroine!

    Although the heroine¡¯s lines are not much different

    But there are a lot more scenes!  Moreover, I had already obtained the script and memorized it very well!  It¡¯s not like this Xiao Tiantian who is preparing to take part in the show at the last minute and plays a working girl at a roadside stall!

    "Brother, brother, where is Lelin! What is Lelin's role? Is she my brother's daughter?"

    "Do you think I can give birth to a daughter as old as you?"

    &nbWe have a number of core team-building players that make every team salivate, and many teams want to get this year's draft picks.

    In the lottery in mid-May, the 76ers, Raptors, and Grizzlies won the top three picks. The picks of the three teams were unwilling to be traded, but the picks ranked 4-10 were still available.  He is the subject of enthusiastic offers from teams that want a young core.

    Without Duncan, this year¡¯s draft will still have the best draft expectations since 1988.

    Time passed day by day, and on June 20, Zhang Hao welcomed Magic and James Worthy back from vacation, and began the process of continuing to strengthen defensive training.

    At this time, Magician and James Worthy came back together. Zhang Hao did not specifically ask for the answer he wanted to know, because Magician came back and trained together, and everything was obvious.

    The other thing is to learn passing from Magic, and combine what he learned from Alvan Adams, a benchmark player in center support ability, with the passing skills taught by Magic, and try to hone a set of his support skills.  This is a bit difficult. After learning and training, you have to practice and modify through competitions. But if you learn, you will have the opportunity to learn and become better.

    Patience is important.

    On June 27, the morning of the draft, Zhang Hao and Magic practiced high-post passing. George Lynch and Doug Christie, who came back to train together, served as the blocking point and the receiving point respectively. James Worthy was in charge of coaching and was training.  Suddenly, Zhang Hao and Magic's eldest brother both rang. The former was picked up by Pierce who came to practice for Zhang Hao, and the latter was picked up by Magic's secretary. The only three players left on the Lakers who still have contracts are  The players and the first person in team history who was about to renew his contract immediately took a quick shower and went home to change into formal clothes. Zhang Hao asked the crew for an afternoon off. The team would hold a press conference at noon to welcome new players!

    ¡­¡­

    At 1:00 noon on June 27, 1996, the NBA officially announced that the Lakers, Suns, and Mavericks had completed a three-way transaction.

    The Lakers sent away Nick Van Exel, Anthony Peeler, Donyel Marshall, and the Raptors' 1997 lottery-protected picks that were as weak as protection, and got Charles Barkley from the Suns.

    The Suns sent Charles Barkley, AC Green, Michael Finley, and the 15th overall pick in the second round of 1996, and the Mavericks received Jason Kidd, Tony Dumars, and Lauren Meyer.  Er, acquired Anthony Peeler from the Lakers.

    The Mavericks sent Jason Kidd, Tony Dumars, and Lauren Mayer, acquired Van Exel and Donyel Marshall from the Lakers, and acquired AC Green and Michael Marshall from the Suns.  Finley, the 15th overall pick in the second round of 1996.

    At the same time, the Lakers held a press conference at the Great Western Forum Arena, and Charles Barkley officially joined the Lakers!

    At the same time, a farce broke out in the basketball world in Orlando. The Orlando Sentinel launched a referendum in fast food restaurants, streets, sporting goods stores and even adult product stores.  The title is very direct - "Do you think O'Neal is worth 100 million?"  ¡·

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 192 192. The time has come!

    The Orlando media show begins!

    Regarding this, Zhang Hao was speechless.

    What he cares about now is another thing - the Suns used Van Exel and Finley, two talented young players with All-Star talents, to replace Kidd!

    The transaction itself is not important. After the season, the only news about the Mavericks is the tidbits between 3j and Toni Braxton, which made Toni Braxton a lot of money.

    After the legendary Mavericks coach Dick Motta announced his resignation, it was only a matter of time before the Mavericks dismantled 3j in order to calm the anger of Dallas fans.

    What Zhang Hao cares about is the reward after completing this transaction

    The Mavericks said in a press conference after completing the transaction: "We need a genius like Akers. Michael is such a genius. He is Jordan's successor"

    Zhang Hao feels that the Mavericks did this on purpose. Does Kidd hate him even more?

    never mind¡­¡­

    ¡°3j¡¯s incompetent rage:

    Goal: The contracted player Zhang Hao needs to fight the Dallas 3j combination that should be falling apart until it disbands.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: a random star experience card for each Dallas 3j player, the strongest season in the 3j era.  "

    Zhang Hao has received the reward without doing anything yet!

    ¡° Anyway, if you are happy, that¡¯s it. These days, if you want to get out of the circle, you will become a public enemy.

    They got Charles Barkley with an annual salary of only $4.7 million!  The most amazing thing is that the Lakers got a superstar like Barkley, but the current salary was reduced. Van Exel¡¯s salary was US$1.9 million, Donyel Marshall¡¯s salary was US$2 million, and Anthony Peeler was  With a salary of US$1.33 million, the Lakers¡¯ total salary did not rise but fell

    After attending the press conference for Barkley¡¯s joining, Zhang Hao, Magic, Doug Christie, and George Lynch went to Van Exel¡¯s home.

    I wanted to comfort Van Exel, but Van Exel had already accepted such a thing. Even a month ago, when Barkley informed the Suns to trade him to the Lakers, Van Exel had already accepted it.  I guessed the result.

    With Van Exel leaving, the talent that the Lakers accumulated bit by bit from the logo man in the 1992 draft has basically been used up!

    Van Exel, Anthony Pillar, Eddie Jones, Ceballos, Divac, Donyel Marshall these people eventually became Zhang Hao and Barkley!

    ¡­¡­

    Dallas 3j was dismantled before he even started to show his talent. Barkley went to Los Angeles and stole a lot of limelight. However, the draft that night still became the hottest thing.

    The draft was uneventfulfor Zhang Hao.

    His arrival has changed a lot. For example, the draft picks of each team have changed to some extent. But as far as the 1995-96 season is concerned, the playoff teams are still those playoff teams, and the lottery teams are still those lottery teams.  Penetration zone teams.

    With so many talents gathered in this year¡¯s draft, each team having a clear goal, and so many people to choose from, the result of the draft seems to be no different from Zhang Hao¡¯s impression.

    The 76ers took away the legendary No. 183 man Allen Iverson. After half a lifetime of hardship, Iverson's mother finally felt proud and shouted in front of the camera: "My son is a millionaire!"

    The logo man has a unique draft vision. With the 29th pick in the first round, he selected Derek Fisher from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, who was predicted to be in the middle to late second round.

    Zhang Hao has paid special attention to this legendary college defensive star who averaged 12 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 4 years at a non-NCAA Division I school

    A rookie who is predicted to be at the bottom of the second round, that is, no matter whether the Lakers' draft pick is the 24th pick in the original time and space or the current 29th pick, the logo man will choose him anyway.

    "Fortunately, I'm only 19 years old, so I have a reason not to let him enter my house"

    This is not important anymore. What is important is that Henry Thomas¡¯ agency grabbed three rookies in the 1996 class: Sharif Rahim, Jermaine O¡¯Neal, and Eric Dampier, as well as

    Two days after the draft, on June 30, Pelinka came to the crew and found Zhang Hao, who was taking a break from filming: "Akers, I helped Wallace find a summer league team. He will represent the Bullets.  Affiliated teams compete Are you sure he has talent? He is just a second-tier league player." Pelinka was confused.

    Previously, he relied on Zhang Hao, Jermaine O'Neal, and Raheem to recognize this condition and sign him. Henry Thomas relied on the help of David Falcao to sign All-American first-team center Eric Dampier.  , these three were successfully selected by NBA teams, and they are all high-level players.??ball

    The learning is complicated, but the direction of strengthening is very purposeful.

    There are still things that confuse him now, such as team matters.

    The team has not signed any stars, and it seems to have a big plan.

    But the big plan he could think of

    Last night, after the Heat and Bullets announced the contract extensions of Mourning and Juwan Howard, the Lakers also announced their contract extension plans, reaching verbal contract extensions with Campbell, Jason Williams, and Magic.

    Magician¡¯s salary is $1 million per year, which is just a symbolic salary. Jason Williams¡¯ salary is $4.5 million in two years, which is in line with his worth.

    But a team offered Campbell, and the Lakers agreed to verbally renew the contract for three years at $22 million, with $7 million in the first two years and $8 million in the third year, which is more than the average annual $7 million contract offered by other teams.  high!

    Zhang Hao really can¡¯t understand this operation

    At present, Magic and Jason Williams have returned to the team. Counting Campbell, there are also Doug Christie, George Lynch, Barkley, and rookie Fisher, plus Zhang, the Lakers have also  Only 8 players.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After the Lakers acquired Barkley, only four players, Zhang Hao, Barkley, George Lynch, and Doug Christie, had contracts, and the contracts of the others have not yet been signed.

    The total of the four people is less than 8 million U.S. dollars. The latest salary cap announced on July 1 is 27.11 million U.S. dollars. The Lakers have a huge salary space of 19 million U.S. dollars. All sports media and basketball fans are watching.  Watch the Lakers to see which outside star the Lakers will compete for.

    Because the Lakers have no point guard!  As for the veteran Magic Johnson and the drafted rookie Fisher, there is no one left at the shooting guard position.

    But Mark Jackson joined the Nuggets for $13.7 million in four years, Avery Johnson signed a four-year, $11 million contract with the Spurs, Tim Hardaway signed a four-year, $22 million contract with the Heat one after another, point guard stars  With ownership, some star point guards even expressed their interest in the Lakers, but the Lakers still made no move.

    In this way, a month passed, and in early August, the Olympic Games came to an end. What is related to the world of basketball is that the Dream Team won the world championship under the leadership of Barkley.

    Barkley had his best performance in the Dream Team III, shooting 85% from the field and averaging 6.6 rebounds per game, both of which were the best in the American men's basketball team.

    On August 5th, a big news appeared!

    The Bulls, who have not completed any signings for more than a month, announced that they have reached a contract extension with Michael Jordan at the highest single-season salary in NBA history of US$30.14 million per year, and matched the extended contract terms provided by the Knicks. The power has returned to  Players, that is, player options.

    This news just came out. After playing in the Olympics, a certain fat man returned to Orlando without even attending the celebration party of the US men's basketball team. He received a call and quickly opened the door. He saw a guy who knew he was dribbling just by watching the NBA.  The man in action is standing in the yard

 Chapter 193 193. Fatty ¡Á 2

    Now O'Neal is no longer the happy baby.

    After being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Magic gave O'Neal a five-year, $50 million contract. O'Neal refused. After the free market opened, he began to look for teams to use the unlimited contract clause for him, that is, Jordan and the Bulls  The clause after the contract extension was called the "Jordan Special".

    But the teams that O'Neal wanted to go to quickly completed an insignificant signing, directly voiding the clause they had.

    The Spurs and Mavericks finally gave him a big contract offer of almost $100 million in seven years, but he was unwilling to go to Dallas and San Antonio.

    Then, the Magic increased their offer to him. Before the Olympics, they gave him a five-year offer of US$56 million, an average annual increase of US$1.2 million.

    Going to the Spurs or Mavericks?

    Today I saw that the Bulls gave Jordan $30.14 million a year and the Knicks gave Alan Houston a five-year $50 million contract, both using the "Jordan exception". O'Neal was even more unhappy - he  The gap with Alan Houston is only 6 million?

    Moreover, after the Knicks failed to get Jordan and used the "Jordan exception" to sign Alan Houston, they completed an early contract extension with Patrick Ewing on a 4-year, $68 million diminishing contract.  In the -01 season, when he was 38 years old, Ewing could still earn US$14.5 million. In the 1997-98 season, Ewing's salary was as high as US$20.5 million.

    Olajuwon also completed a four-year, $56 million early contract extension.

    David Robinson reached a verbal contract extension with the Spurs for 5 years and $72 million, waiting for him.

    There is also Mourning, who immediately renewed his contract with the Heat for more than $100 million over seven years after the free market opened. Even Juwan Howard got a seven-year, $100 million contract.

    O¡¯Neal didn¡¯t care about Kidd¡¯s nine-year rookie contract of more than 80 million yuan and Glenn Robinson¡¯s 11-year contract of more than 100 million yuan. The average salary was not high.

    But if he wants to stay on a championship team in Orlando, a city with rich entertainment resources, he can only earn an average annual salary of $11.2 million?  Or do I have to go to that shitty place in San Antonio to hang out with David Robinson?

    The reason given by the Magic is very strong - Anfernee Hardaway's contract in 1997 is about to expire, and money needs to be left for Anfernee Hardaway's contract.

    While drooling at Jordan's terrifying annual salary of $30.14 million, O'Neal ushered in NBA icon Jerry West.

    For the logo man, O'Neal politely welcomed him into the living room and asked the maid to prepare drinks and snacks.

    After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the logo man asked straight to the point: "Shaq, are you willing to come to Los Angeles?"

    At this point in time, the logo man came here to look for him. Of course O'Neal knew what he was trying to do, but he was a little confused - hadn't the Lakers already given Campbell an offer?

    Regarding his departure, no one would associate him with the Lakers, because the Lakers have been cultivating players to deal with him in the past two years. Almost no one, including himself, thought the Lakers would want him.

    O'Neal answered directly: "I don't want to."

    The logo man asked: "Why? Is it because of Aix?"

    No, is it so direct?  O'Neal thought he was direct enough, but he didn't expect the old man to be so direct.

    "You know, I've been living in Orlando for half a month. I've been waiting here since you participated in the Olympics. I've seen a lot of things" The man with the logo seemed to be talking to himself: "I  I feel like this place is not worthy of you. You should go to a bigger stage. Only Los Angeles can let you show all your brilliance. There is Hollywood and the Lakers there. Did you see it? Superman, we have Ultraman,  A screen character as charismatic as Superman, do you want to live in Disney forever? If I were you"

    The logo man paused when he said this, and O'Neal wanted to know what the logo man didn't finish.

    He likes what the logo man says very much, and he likes to live in the spotlight.

    The logo man paused for a moment, observed O'Neal's expression, and said with a smile: "If I were you, I would choose to go to the Lakers, I would choose to partner with Akers, and I would compete for the stars in Hollywood

    If he makes me unhappy, I will definitely go back to the Lakers. I will want to overpower him and be his boss.

    Of course, you have to be confident that you can convince him on the court.  "

    No, O'Neal was confused - is Zhang Hao your player?

    ????????? Is this what people do to create obstacles for their own genius?

    At this time, the logo man took out a stack of paper from his briefcase, which was obviously a contract.

    "Shaq, I'mbsp;This combination is simply explosive!  Barkley, who can be used as a space power forward, off-ball rookie Wang Zhang Hao, who can play two forward positions, O'Neal, the most terrifying monster in the low post

    But at this time, some media raised a questionWhat should Campbell do?

    The Lakers have reached a verbal agreement with Campbell, and Campbell rejected the Jazz's three-year, $21 million contract. The Lakers can't break their promise, right?

    Although according to the regulations, there will be no punishment, it is just a verbal agreement.

    But this is obviously a matter of bad reputation.

    But the Lakers really signed a three-year, $22 million contract with Campbell. So what can Campbell do if he stays with the Lakers?

    What Campbell can do to protect the rim, O'Neal can do, but O'Neal can't use it against O'Neal.

    But although Campbell is just an ordinary starting-level center most of the time, he is a center who can average 30 minutes per game and score 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. Moreover, Campbell is a center that many teams in the league want to use against O'Neal.  center, there is no need to worry about not having a contract, but now, the Jazz have signed a two-year, $5 million contract extension with Antoine Kyle, who does not have Bird Rights, and can no longer use the "Jordan Special" to sign it  Campbell, most teams that need Campbell have long been out of space. They all thought that the Lakers would definitely keep Campbell. They never expected that the Lakers would take O'Neal and they never thought about waiting for Campbell.

    So now that the Lakers have Campbell, O'Neal's nemesis, at the center position and introduced O'Neal, what is the operation?

    Before the media and fans could figure it out, the Lakers officially announced that they had signed a contract with Magic guard Brian Shaw for US$4 million in one year, and had poached the Trail Blazers' expired backup point guard James for US$2.74 million in two years.  -Robinson, signed the Lakers' former scoring champion Byron Scott for US$250,000 in one year, and extended the Magic contract with US$1 million in one year, with a starting salary of US$2.2 million, and a total of US$4.42 million in two years.  About Jason Williams, signed rookie Derek Fisher with a starting salary of $610,000 and a total of $2.1 million over three years.

    The Lakers, who originally had only three players on their roster, now have Magic, Fisher, James Robinson, Doug Coritis, Brian Shaw, Byron Scott, George  Lynch, Zhang Hao, Barkley, Jason Williams, O'Neal, suddenly the 11-man rotation seems to be complete!

    The Lakers, who had had no news at all for more than a month and only had the news of matching Campbell's contract, almost made many media anxious to death. There was no news about them and they could only act as paparazzi to take pictures of Zhang Hao on the set.

    The sports media have been turned into gossip entertainment paparazzi by the Lakers and Zhang Hao.

    Also, the Lakers have missed one high-quality defender after another, which makes those fans who support the Lakers anxious. Even if the Lakers form a super forward combination of Zhang Hao and Barkley, they still need someone to pass the ball!  It's not enough for Magic to pass the ball by himself and add Doug Christie to assist!

    Then, very suddenly, in just one day, the Lakers occupied the headlines of all sports news!  And it continues to give heat!  Never stopped!

    Even because of Zhang Hao, American entertainment news is broadcasting news about Zhang Hao¡¯s Lakers team.

    After these signings are completed, the Lakers' salary of US$27 million has been fully utilized. Then should the Lakers renew Campbell's contract on the cap?

    No, that evening, the Lakers gave everyone an answer

    On the night of August 6, 1996, the Lakers reached a three-year, $24 million sign-and-trade agreement with Campbell, sending him to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Iverson, who was dismissed due to his outstanding performance in the summer league.  Former Nets point guard Kenny Anderson was waived by the 76ers!

 Chapter 194 194. The tacit understanding of the three insiders

    The filming of Ultraman X is coming to an end, and Zhang Hao is mainly working on the crew to fill in the scenes.

    Since the supporting actors were fully prepared, Zhang Hao has a strong learning ability in acting, and the shooting progress is rapid, in less than two months, it was time for the director and producer to review the previously shot footage.

    What we need to reshoot now are many shots of Zhang Hao in the early stage of filming, because Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in the early stage of filming is a bit different from that in the later stage.

    Although Zhang Hao¡¯s shooting satisfied both the director and the producer at first, later on

    Anyway, just make up the lens.

    It¡¯s not that busy when it comes to adding shots. The director team and screenwriter still have to modify the plot based on the shots shot later.

    Because their original script was very good in terms of plot, but the requirements for acting skills were really not high. The focus was on Ultraman itself. In terms of writing and drama, it was a bit rough. However, in the middle of the performance, Zhang Hao was stunned and made the film look relatively good.  The rough literary drama was all brought to life, and those who didn't know it thought Zhang Hao was filming a drama

    Since we can reach this level, why not?

    So from the middle of filming, the screenwriter started losing his hair like crazy, but he was happy with it!  Who doesn¡¯t want the script he writes to produce something better?

    He will be unhappy only if he changes the plot to a point where he doesn¡¯t even like it.

    Now it¡¯s just a matter of changing, changing, and adding shots.

    So it¡¯s not that busy.

    Yesterday at noon, after Zhang Hao saw Jordan renewing his contract with the Bulls and Alan Houston signing a 5-year, 50 million contract with the Knicks, he felt that he had lost another duck. When he ate his lunch last night, he didn¡¯t feel that good anymore.  I am getting more and more anxious waiting.

    But the anxious time only lasted for one afternoon. Last night I received a call from the logo man, and he was so happy that he took off!

    One day passed, and the crew stopped working for a day because he was out of shape. Directors, producers, etc. all knew that this was a critical stage in Zhang Hao's career as an athlete, so it was okay to stop working for a day. This day was just the day to find out more things that needed to be modified and re-shot.  lens.

    Throughout the whole day, Zhang Hao kept receiving calls from Pelinka, hearing that one contract after another had been signed. He was so excited that he didn¡¯t know how to describe his thoughts. How could he still have the time to film?

    Signing O'Neal already made Zhang Hao feel like he was in heaven, but at least he knew O'Neal might come, which was okay.

    Next, the Lakers quickly signed James Robinson, Brian Shaw and veteran Byron Scott, who averaged 10.2 points per game with the Grizzlies last season. Only then did Zhang Hao realize that his worries were unnecessary.

    The logo man is much further ahead than he thought!

    Last season, James Robinson served as the backup point guard for the Trail Blazers. He had 8.5 points and 2 assists. His statistics were average, but his ability to shoot 35% from the field and average 1.3 three-pointers per game was what O'Neal liked.  Type of defender.

    Brian Shaw has not agreed to renew his contract with the Magic, and has not agreed to invitations from other teams. Now it seems that he is also waiting for them, the Lakers!

    Byron Scott is an old friend of Lakers fans. He gave all of his peak years to the Lakers. In the 1987-88 season, he averaged 21.7 points per game and became the Lakers' scoring leader that season.

    Although they are not stars, they are all practical players, and except for former Celtics player Brian Shaw, whose price is a bit more expensive, there is a premium, but the salaries of the other two are well worth it!

    250,000 to sign a pitcher who can average 10 points per game!

    These three people, plus Fisher, filled up their Lakers' backup guard line!

    The 11-man roster is intact, and Campbell has not yet been officially signed, but Zhang Hao feels that the team will definitely not break its promise, and it must be given 22 million in three years.

    But even if the center position is a little bloated and the point guard position is a little weak, their lineup is still functioning.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the outside line is broken, then let it break. When it comes to defending the point guard, he can just put someone on top, that is, the outside line can be beaten in singles with the ball.

    Thinking of Magic, James Robinson, Fisher, Doug Christie, Brian Shaw, Byron Scott, George Lynch, Barkley, Jason Williams, O'Neal, and Campbell.  Teammate, Zhang Hao really wanted to shout - who else!

    This, even if O'Neal does not come, is still a very practical lineup, and with multiple one-year contracts, there will be opportunities to introduce guards in the future.

    When gambling, the logo man never forgets a safe approach.

    Moreover, this is much safer than giving long-term contracts to players with unique rhythms such as David Wesley and Mark Jackson who are not sure whether they are suitable or not. These players all need at least three-year contracts, and they are all offensive players.  A core style of play, like Mark Jackson's??It's time for you to train alone, and I need to take a break. We'll see you next month.  "

    "Okay, Mr. Johnson"

    The magician also drove away.

    All of a sudden, the arena was empty except for Jason Williams and the newly arrived Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao.

    After Doug Christie and George Lynch worked as sparring partners for a while, Alan Houston came and the two of them left. They were originally here to train with Zhang Hao on high post support and defensive perimeter defense.

    James Worthy took a vacation after inviting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and worked continuously for more than a month. For a retired player, the work intensity is still very high.

    Alan Houston left after signing a contract with the Knicks on the 5th. Now that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson have left, all of a sudden, only the "Three Elites of the Nets" are left.

    Jason Williams watched Zhang Hao return to the court and continue to quietly practice the back shot from the left side of the three-second zone and then turn around for the hook shot. He watched Kenny Anderson still in a daze 10 months ago, he would never have imagined that  , one day he changed teams, and ended up continuing to be teammates with the two teammates he hated most at the time.

    Kenny Anderson was still confused. When he went to the Hornets, a team that seemed bound to make the playoffs at the time, although he was reluctant to leave Zhang Hao, P.J. Brown and others, he was still very happy to have the opportunity to play in the season.  Postgame.

    But he really didn¡¯t fit in with the Hornets¡¯ teammates. They all seemed to be pitchers, but almost every one of them needed the ball. The proportion of singles was much higher than expected. Then, after playing for half a year, he was eliminated.  The deal is gone.

    By the time the 76ers arrived, they were doing okay, averaging 17 points and 8 assists per game. However, the 76ers drew the first pick and selected Iverson. He was completely confused and didn't know what to do next.

    In the previous two seasons, he was an All-Star starter!

    After the free market opened, the 76ers had been selling him, and he was about to collapse. Suddenly, his agent told him that he could work with Zhang Hao again.

    The month he worked with Zhang Hao was the only happy month he had in the past year.

    And suddenly, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Hao was with the Lakers and Barkley went to the Lakers!

    He went to the Lakers, why can¡¯t he compete for a championship?

    Then, I saw the news that O'Neal signed with the Lakers

    From the feeling of hell to heaven, Kenny Anderson felt it.

    I arrived in Los Angeles feeling dizzy and was even more dizzy by the enthusiasm of the media!

    Then he hid here with Zhang Hao, and then saw Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar teaching Zhang Hao training. By the way, Magician also gave him guidance on passing and controlling training.

    A week has passed now, and Kenny Anderson is in a state of confusion whenever he is free.

    The ups and downs of life are so exciting!

    ¡°What did the magician say to him when he first arrived at the training facility this morning?  Get him ready to start for the Lakers?

    This is just like a dream, the magician is playing as a substitute for him!  The teammates are Barkley and O'Neal!

    Oh, and there is Zhang Hao, a rookie who was selected to the first team.

    After a few days, Kenny Anderson still had no idea how to get along with Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao is no longer the rookie he was 10 months ago. He is already the All-Star vote-getter and a big shot.

    Seeing Zhang Hao come back and practice a set of hooks, Kenny Anderson just stared blankly

    After practicing a set of hooks, Zhang Hao said to Kenny Anderson: "Boss Kenny, Jason, come and show me the pick-and-roll, I want to learn it!"

    Jason Williams is not stupid, but he is usually very reckless. When he heard Zhang Hao call "boss", he felt something strange He has been with the Lakers for almost a season, and Zhang Hao has never called any of his teammates boss. Almon Georgie  Neither Liem, Van Exel nor the Magician who came back later.

    Kenny Anderson was stunned for a moment when he heard this familiar name, and then responded with a smile: "I'm not very good at pick-and-roll, but Jason is very good at pick-and-roll. You can demonstrate it, but don't expect me to teach you. Let Jason  Let me teach you.¡±

    Hearing such a simple call, Kenny Anderson felt that his chaotic thoughts suddenly calmed down.

    He is still the same him!  From the moment we met again, there was no pretentious greeting. He was still the same

 Chapter 195 195. Excellent tool man

    The life of a rising star of the Lakers is so monotonous, hard and simple. From the end of May to the beginning of August, except for travel and flight time, he has been busy training and filming Ultraman.

    In mid-August, the crew of Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company has begun to withdraw people. The reshoots are all literary dramas, and there are not so many props needed. Many models can be saved for the next shooting.

    The model is still very expensive

    Zhang Hao has less time for filming, more time in the afternoon and evening, and more time for training.

    During the two months of training, I had someone teach me for more than one month, and I learned a lot.

    After the guidance of others, he entered the personal training stage. His original strong point, mid-range and long-range shooting, is definitely the direction to continue training.

    ?Catching the ball, shooting quickly, and running are areas that need to be strengthened.

    The skills of catching the ball and turning over for a jump shot, a back-up jump shot, and a back-up shot are the directions to continue to strengthen.

    Turning with the ball and cutting into the attacking frame, running without the ball to catch the ball and cutting into the attacking frame are the key development directions.

    Of course, ball control and passing are two basic skills. He often takes a racket to shoot during the breaks in filming

    It seems messy, but by thinking about the next day's training every night through study mode, he actually allocates his time very well, even for Magic, James Worthy, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who were once all-powerful in the NBA.  The kind of wonder.

    Zhang Hao has entered personal training mode, and the Lakers' "Nightmare Legion" is still the focus of heated discussion among the media and fans.

    When the Lakers' "Nightmare Legion" was first formed, the media was shocked, but later, it became a lot of media attacks on Barkley.

    There is no way, O'Neal is a center that other teams "don't want". Orlando feels that O'Neal is not worthy of his tens of millions of annual salary. The Magic have been struggling for a year and are only willing to pay 56 million for five years, leaving money to renew the contract.  Finney Hardaway was also transferred to Horace Grant for 29 million in 2 years. Any year is higher than the 56 million given to O'Neal in the highest year. The Lakers spent 127 million to buy it back. This is not  Gotta spray.

    Kenny Anderson, who played for three teams in one year, has become a bum. The Lakers signed him first and then traded him back. This seems to be no reason to complain.

    ?Then only Barkley is left, and Barkley himself admitted to hugging his thigh

    From being shocking to becoming the focus of media firepower, it¡¯s because the Lakers¡¯ lineup just looks terrible!  It¡¯s true that there are a lot of Lakers fans, but the total fans of other teams must be more than Lakers fans. The media will naturally write bad news about the Lakers and write news that attacks the Lakers, so that more people will be willing to read it.  , will have higher ratings and newspaper sales.

    It is absolutely certain that this lineup will be scolded, and then there will be various doubts, such as friction, too many veterans, two superstars with annual salary, one is filming TV series, and the other is not doing his job

    The core question is - are the Lakers too eager for success, and will it affect the training of Zhang Hao?

    The relationship between Zhang Hao and O'Neal is

    The shark-killing tactic has been mentioned again, and many experts have even begun to study how to maximize the shark-killing tactic.

    On the 76ers side, Campbell received offers from many teams, but the 76ers did not choose to trade. Instead, they kept this center with excellent rebounding ability, at least for the time being.

    When the Lakers were under constant attack, someone discovered a very subtle thing - Zhang Hao, who used to make headlines whenever he ate, had almost no news since O'Neal joined; Barkley took the initiative to reveal that he was hugging his thighs  This idea focused the firepower of public opinion attacks on him alone.

    And O¡¯Neal, he happily criticizes the Magic every day, appears on TV and in the news everywhere, and enjoys the scenery he has never enjoyed before

    ¡­¡­

    ??While the Lakers have become the team targeted by the media and are constantly being bombarded by public opinion, there are still some media discussing more realistic things, and Lakers fans are more concerned about this.

    That means the Lakers still have 3 spots, how should they get it?

    Although the 12-man roster is assembled directly, there must be safeguards.

    Magician is 37 years old and Barkley is about to turn 34. The risk of injuries is unavoidable. O'Neal also has great injury risks, so reserve measures must be taken.

    However, Lakers fans are not worried about this, but are concerned. With their lineup, are they still worried about having no one to support them?

    Soon, the players who wanted to take advantage of him came. On August 17, veteran Jerome Corsi, who rejected many invitations from weak teams during the offseason and even refused Adelman¡¯s offer to stay,  weighed in including bull?But it¡¯s not as strong as getting a share of the pie.

    ¡­¡­

    As a diligent worker, Pelinka needs to go back and think carefully about what to do next.

    As for hesitating whether to agree?

    He is now lame and feels like he is doing something big.

    He selectively ignored that Zhang Hao tinkered with these things and ended up selling them first do it first.

    After signing the agency contract, Pelinka felt that he had become Zhang Hao's toolah, no, he was a partner.

    But now he is much happier as a lawyer than before!

    On Zhang Hao's side, the state of seclusion has been broken. It seems that it's already September. It's time to return to the team and have a look. Moreover, after practicing for three full months, he is a little tired. He is mentally tired and needs to rest. Let's take a break first.  After a while, you can find a few teammates to start practicing together in advance.

    The team's lineup has changed so much that I have to go back to the team early to discuss new tactics with the old fox. I don't know how many hairs the old fox has left on his head.

    As an off-ball pitcher, he is mentally prepared to accommodate the team's four major stars in tactics, and he must do that, so he must be better at tactics and the team's use of several stars than these stars.  You have to understand yourself more deeply.

    There is one more thing to do before returning to the team.

    Before entering the closing mode, Zhang Hao asked April Clark to pay attention to the news about all NBA signings and transactions and cut out the newspapers.

    There are also newspaper reports on the performance of NBA players in the summer league and the Olympics that I didn¡¯t pay much attention to before.

    ¡°These days, you can see more news in newspapers than on TV

    April Clark is very motivated about this. Even the news about the training camp contracts signed by each team after entering September has been cut. She feels that she can finally help.

    Whether it was from news reports or personal senses, Zhang Hao discovered that since O'Neal joined, the focus of public attention has been on the Lakers. However, the Lakers have only acquired three stars this summer, O'Neal and Buck.  Leigh, Kenny Anderson, and other signings were normal signings, they were just signed a little faster.

    After Zhang Hao returned his attention to the NBA, he discovered that there were many things that people had ignored because the Lakers were so popular.

    Although the quality of the stars introduced by other teams is not as luxurious as theirs, many teams quietly strengthened them when they attracted media attention.

    From the end of last season to now, in less than 4 months, he suddenly jumped directly from the development stage to the championship stage. It still feels incredible, but Zhang Hao knows that if he wants to continue to be in the circle, he must adapt quickly!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 196 196. Attack of the Big Fat Part 1

    ¡°These teams have done so much secretly!¡±

    Zhang Hao initially took a rough look at the signing details of other teams and found that several players he thought were very powerful were linked to three very powerful teams.

    After renewing Mourning's contract for 7 years and 10.5 years, the Heat directly signed the 31-year-old former Suns' three-time All-Star and two-time All-Defensive Team player Dan Marley, and grabbed P.J. Brown from the Nets.  , acquired Jamal Mashburn from the Mavericks in another robbery-style trade.

    Unlike Zhang Hao¡¯s impression, two of the Mavericks¡¯ 3Js were taken away before the new season even started!

    When Kidd was sent to the Suns by the Mavericks during the Barkley trade, he was jealous for a while.

    But the current Kidd is not the Kidd who won two consecutive games. In the future, Kidd will slowly develop three-pointers. It is easier to target now.

    Zhang Hao flipped through other news and found that the last j used by Toni Braxton had also been traded. The Nets used Eddie Jones as a bargaining chip and Sean Bradley as a bargaining chip.  , traded with the Mavericks to acquire Jim Jackson.

    The Knicks' reinforcements are also very powerful. After failing to grab Jordan, they quickly acquired Alan Houston from the Pistons, acquired Larry Johnson from the Hornets with almost no chips, and also acquired Larry Johnson from the Nets.  Shengsheng snatched point guard Chris Childs.

    The SuperSonics poached Greg Graham from the Nets for $2.78 million over two years.

    "All five starters from our Nets team at that time are gone!"

    However, Zhang Hao discovered that the Nets had not always been suffering losses. The Nets had actually liquidated all the high-quality assets they had exchanged for Zhang Hao!

    The Nets reached a deal with the Rockets in mid-August, trading Divac for Sam Cassell and Robert Horry.

    After careful analysis, Zhang Hao found that if Zhang Hao hadn't been playing better and better, the Nets' operations at the time wouldn't have been that bad.

    Cassell, Jim Jackson, Robert Horry, and rookie Corey Kittles, this outside quartet looks very good. Regardless of other factors, the goal is simply to destroy Bo Duncan.  With Duncan in hand, the Nets will immediately become a first-tier team in the Eastern Conference. Duncan, with such a talented outside line, will definitely enter the playoffs and may be able to reach the top four in the Eastern Conference.

    If you feel that Zhang and Kenny Anderson have won too many games, the Nets traded him and Kenny Anderson. Indeed, the Nets have fulfilled their original dream - to acquire outside talent.  Duncan.

    Tim Hardaway, Dan Marley, Mashburn, PJ Brown, Mourning!  The Heat's ultimate iron-blooded lineup is formed!  This is so explosive!

    The Knicks spent almost no money to form a combination of Childs, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Oakley, and Ewing. This is Zhang Hao's impression that this is the core lineup that has reached the finals. In addition,  There is also a favorite for Sixth Man of the Year, John Starks.

    "What the Heat and Knicks did this summer are much more outrageous than our Lakers, right? The mid-range shooting king and the aunt, these two are robbing each other! Mashburn is also pure robbery Who makes us the Lakers?  Team Sigh, I have to find a fat person to hold me in my arms and cry for a while. It¡¯s so wronged.¡±

    The Rockets strengthened the inside line at the expense of the outside line, returning to the twin-tower era. If it were Olajuwon last season, Divac would partner with the inside line, Divac + Olajuwon, it would look good, but  What Zhang Hao felt was a pity

    There is another signing that Zhang Hao noticed - Dominic Wilkins, the highlight of the human film, returned to join the Spurs to join forces with David Robinson.

    "This is such a sad story"

    After spending two days practicing shooting in the morning and analyzing the current player distribution in the afternoon and evening, Zhang Hao made his own judgment on the changes in the strength of each team caused by player changes this summer.

    After entering September, this year¡¯s free market signings, transactions, etc. have come to an end, and all the big fish have been fished out.

    Due to their relationship with the Lakers, the value of this year's free agent veterans and meat shield centers has increased. The Lakers stopped signing him after they grabbed Jerome Corsi, who everyone thought they must grab.  He felt that the team should be looking at which position has hidden dangers after the start of the season.

    However, regarding the potential injury risks, the only one Zhang Hao cares about is O'Neal.

    He remembered that O'Neal missed more than 20 games in the first two or three years after coming to the Lakers.

    This can be ignored!

    ? Reduce the amount of training and adjust your thoughts, Zhang Hao?Who can convince the crowd more!

    So, at the end of August and the beginning of September, after his teammates all returned to Los Angeles one after another, O'Neal began to look for teammates to build a good relationship. He came a year later than that guy and had to be more fully prepared.

    And this is what he likes to do. He likes to have a good relationship with his teammates and create a comfortable atmosphere.

    Now, O'Neal is waiting for Zhang Hao to come, to see what the big-name Zhang Hao will say, and then he will find an opportunity to attack!

    Just when it was about to reach 9 o'clock, a tall and thin guy who looked like the hero of an idol drama ran into the training ground.

    The Lakers¡¯ 13 contracted players, 3 training camp contract players, and the trainers assigned by Magic to the team all focused their attention on the last player to arrive.

    After Zhang Hao rushed in, he gasped and looked at the time. Fortunately, it was 5:59:58, just two seconds away. Although he didn't arrive as early as before, at least he was not late.

    Originally, he woke up at 6:15, but because today happened to be Sunday, he had been in class for the past two weeks and would choose to take a nap on the weekends, so he really took a nap

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao felt the gazes on him, doubtful, curious, surprised His teammates are all here!

    You can probably guess that the old teammates are surprised, and the new teammates are curious or confused.

    The atmosphere is a bit awkward!  So many people were waiting for him.

    You have to find an excuse, here you go!  Zhang Hao took a deep breath, calmed down the impact of rushing from the parking lot to the training ground, and said to his teammates: "I got lost on the road of life. Fortunately, I found the direction in time and was not late."

    ""

    ""

    ""

    The scene was quiet, and Zhang Hao seemed to be able to hear the sound of crows flying by. Obviously, his teammates could not reach that point, and Naruto would not be released for another three years.

    The atmosphere became even more awkward.

    Preparing to launch an attack, O'Neal said some strange words, but he didn't know how to speak. It was different from what he thought!

    What¡¯s going on with this second grader?

    "I just won't say anything. Let's see how you deal with the embarrassment in front of you!" O'Neill felt that he was really smart.

    However, after a few seconds of silence, there was a sudden burst of laughter.

    "Haha, Ax, your joke skills are still so bad." The magician broke the embarrassment.

    It¡¯s really a bad joke!  After the magician laughed, the old teammates understood that Zhang Hao was telling a joke and laughed in agreement, and the new players also laughed in agreement.

    After Barkley understood that Zhang Hao was trying to break the embarrassment with a joke, he really couldn't stop laughing. He stepped forward and said, "Akers, to be honest, I don't think you are really suitable for telling jokes. You should be responsible for being cool!"

    Magic and Barkley teamed up to thaw the freezing atmosphere.

    "???" O'Neal was a little confused. Do his teammates give this second-year face this much?

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 197 197. This is a massacre!

    Sure enough, being handsome is of no use in front of teammates, but telling cold jokes in front of girls is so effective

    It¡¯s okay to just keep doing the same thing in front of your teammates. Just now you should have walked silently next to Magic and Kenny Anderson.

    It was not too late to remedy the situation. Zhang Hao ignored the scene just now and walked to the magician.

    As long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

    However, as Zhang Hao silently stood aside, the magician began to do reading comprehension again.

    Zhang Hao just wanted to make a joke just now, and his teammates were not on the same server. But when he came to the Magician, he saw Zhang Hao's "aggressiveness".

    According to the quick analysis of the magician¡¯s smart brain, he believes that Zhang Hao finally has two superstar teammates. Although his mind is far more mature than his peers, he also has a sense of crisis.

    Being precocious doesn¡¯t mean that you don¡¯t have feelings. Things like a sense of crisis are inevitable. The magician believes that Zhang Hao must be a young man who likes the spotlight and wants to become a superstar, because Zhang Hao has never resisted this.

    Otherwise, will you run to shoot special films?

    Being precocious does not mean that he can have a good solution to anything. If it is related to training and competition, Zhang Hao must be very good at it. As for winning the friendship of teammates, in O'Neal's view, Zhang Hao is obviously not as good as O'Neal.  , No, the result of this cold joke seems to be pretty good, but the impression given by Zhang Hao is really not suitable for this method.

    But this is not important. Zhang Hao has the idea of ????fighting, and the magician feels very happy.

    It doesn¡¯t matter to Magic who is competing for the top spot in the team, as long as he wins, he also has selfish motives. Zhang Hao is the one who helps him break social barriers after his comeback. He definitely hopes that Zhang Hao will become the team¡¯s signature star.

    As for the cold personality In the magician's view, a leader does not necessarily have to be a smiling person, and it's not like there have been bosses like Zhang Hao.

    The magician began to think of ideas with his clever brain

    Barkley shouldn't care about this, O'Neal He has communicated with the management and coaching staff before. The old fox side is still the same, but the logo man will definitely support the players he cultivates more.

    No longer hesitating, his teammates were waiting for him, the first person in team history and the oldest player on the team, to speak. Magic said: "I am honored that you accepted my invitation and came to the arena half a month before the start of training camp.  , it seems that fighting for a long time is beneficial"

    The magician's relaxed words aroused bursts of laughter. Zhang Hao felt that he could do it, but this damn character and if he was asked to speak like this, he couldn't do it now.

    After more than a year, people will also change. The new personality based on the combination of the personality of the future memory and the personality of the current era has long since become different from the two personalities.

    "We have a lot of new members, and I'm excited about it. I have teammates that are so good that I couldn't have imagined. It's like going back 10 years ago, when I was playing with Kareem Jabbar."  , James Worthy, Michael Cooper, AC Green, Michael Thompsonand Byron you." Magic said and pointed at Byron Scott.

    Byron Scott showed his iconic smile, and his mustache was particularly eye-catching.

    After a brief interaction, Magic continued: "Now, I feel again the same way I did 10 years ago. I can seem to see that the Lakers will be great again because of us"

    It didn¡¯t happen last season. Magic didn¡¯t take himself as a leader in the locker room or on the court last season. This was the first time since Magic¡¯s comeback. It was also the first time Zhang Hao saw such a magician¡ªyou name it, it¡¯s there.  The feeling of giving a speech and that confident smile give people a very strong sense of trust

    At the age of 31, he had just won two consecutive regular season MVPs and his career was cut short at the peak of his career. But even so, he is still the number one point guard in history. His personal charm is too strong!

    The 37-year-old Magic, as long as he regains his confidence, will still be the most charismatic player in the basketball world!

    Even O¡¯Neal and Barkley are just younger brothers in front of Magic.

    Not to mention other people, some new point guards who have been selected as All-Star starters even look at their idols, and Byron Scott is smiling

    "I believe that there is a reason why we can get together. Perhaps it is God's preference that allows us to become a team." The magician's speech came to an end and now he got down to business. "Although I am very excited.  We can form a team, but our lineup has changed so much. Players have changed in every position. Most of us? 

    Zhang Hao spoke for half an hour. The teammates listened attentively from the beginning: "Just listen to the arrangement of the little boss" to the surprise, shock, respect, and finally they all listened carefully and began to devote themselves psychologically to the preparation.  The state of preparation for the new season.

    Even O¡¯Neal, even though he recognized Zhang Hao¡¯s tactical ability, never expected that Zhang Hao could actually make such a perfect arrangement!

    Some NBA head coaches don¡¯t have this ability, right?

    Many NBA head coaches come up with a bunch of tactics and ask the players to practice each one. Only after practice do they know the results. New head coaches or new lineups often go through a relatively long running-in period.

    But Zhang Hao, a 19-year-old second-year player, can sort out in advance who should be the head coach, who should cooperate, which lineup is more suitable for what rhythm Not to mention these, he actually actively eliminated some tactics.

    ¡° Moreover, the tactics eliminated are really tactics that O¡¯Neal doesn¡¯t like!

    Except for this, O'Neal listened carefully to every word of Zhang Hao and found that compared to others, his tactics are often the simplest. They can be summarized in one sentence: "Pass the ball to O'Neal and score"

    The amount of training Zhang Hao arranged for him was ridiculously small!

    Originally, after Magic's speech, it was supposed to be the self-introductions of the teammates after they gathered together for the first time, etc. In the morning, he had no intention of starting training immediately. Today was not even a planned training day. He just gathered together in the afternoon.  Let¡¯s all go out and have fun, have dinner together in the evening, and then we¡¯ll be training for the next two weeks

    Who knew that Zhang Hao really thought he was here for training, and even arranged it!

    The key is that Zhang Hao actually thoroughly understood the basic version of the tactical manual prepared by the coaching staff in the past 10 days!  Even for several training camp contract players, Zhang Hao arranged training tasks for them!

    Because of the seriousness shown by Zhang Hao, coupled with his consistent driving ability, regardless of whether the teammates were physically prepared or not, the mental construction was completed in one fell swoop.

    O'Neal was still in shock. The magician silently went to the side to make a phone call, checked out the lunch place he had reserved, and was about to order takeout After thinking about it, he still refused to check out the restaurant where we would have dinner in the evening. Don't let it go.  The new teammates are too tired from being tortured by Zhang Hao, a training fiend, so they find a time to end the training in the afternoon. They have just gathered today. Others may not necessarily keep training and go straight to the intensity. The probability of problems is far greater than the improvement.  The probability.

    It¡¯s not even half a day away.

    But it has to be supported, but Zhang Hao can't control the rhythm yet. The magician thinks that Zhang Hao is "too radical", so he will control the rhythm.

    Today¡¯s situation is completely beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Who would have thought that Zhang Hao and the others are not on the same channel at all?

    Precisely because they were not on the same channel, Zhang Hao dialed the wrong one. He just thought he could get into training immediately. Also, Kenny Anderson was back. He seemed to have returned to 10 months ago, when he became the backbone of the Nets.  After that, he habitually gave guidance to his teammates on tactics and training

    After deciding how to control the rhythm, Magic began to prepare for the warm-up and set an example. All 16 players were warming up with the help of the trainer. Only one person did not know what to do now.

    This time, it¡¯s O¡¯Neal¡¯s turn

    Everyone else has been assigned to tactical roles in small-scale cooperation. Of course O'Neal also has them, but those roles in his tactics don't require training at all!

    After coming back to his senses, O'Neal was confused: "You are so nice to me? Are you showing your kindness to me? So you didn't arrange training content for me? Let me see, my tactical role is to catch the ball in the low post, play with the back, and catch the ball in the fast break.  During fast breaks when the ball is dunked and the shooter is the main offensive point, pay attention to catch the ball and follow up with the shooter and wing shooter"

    Indeed, they are all styles of play that he is very comfortable with, and he can handle them easily.

    But he didn¡¯t believe that the second-year student who could figure out the ¡°shark-killing tactic¡± to deal with him had such good intentions!

    Suddenly, O'Neal had an idea!

    "That's right! Such a simple tactical role does not require training He wants me to not improve! This way he can surpass me in strength!

    "Wait, what did he just call Anderson?"  Boss?

    Despicable!  He actually deliberately called someone else the boss to confuse me. Was he trying to trick me into thinking he didn't want to be the boss?

    Won¡¯t you arrange training for me?  I just want to train!  Just make progress!  Don't think I'll let you succeed!  "

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 198 198. Have I lost my memory or am I suffering from Alzheimer¡¯s disease?

    If O'Neal had heard Zhang Hao call Kenny Anderson "boss" from the beginning, he would have been angry at the beginning and would have been unhappy with Kenny Anderson.

    But it was different after he saw the scene of Kenny Anderson listening to the training arrangements honestly.

    Kenny Anderson jumped out to speak, and was regarded as being arranged by Zhang Hao. In O'Neal's eyes, Kenny Anderson was Zhang Hao's tool. At this time, instead of having any hostility towards Kenny Anderson, O'Neal was full of  I sympathize, I feel like tramp players have a really hard time. They used to be the boss of one team, and they started together in the 1994 All-Star Game. Now, they can only be humble and serve as gentlemen. How miserable!

    ¡° Let¡¯s let the second-year gentleman go for a while today, train hard and wait for the opportunity to attack.

    After observing the teammates, Magic and poor little Kenny went to the lounge. The staff transported a box of video tapes to the lounge. The box had "O'Neal" on it, which should be his fat video data.

    With such a big box, O'Neal remembered that when he was with the Magic, he went to the video room on a whim one day. It seemed that the team he had played for four years didn't even edit game video materials for him.

    "This second-year guy knows how to mess with people. The editor of our Lakers team is really miserable."

    O'Neal looked at his old teammate Brian Shaw. Brian Shaw also came to the Lakers, which was one of the happiest things for him. When he was with the Magic, he would often conflict with Anfernee Hardaway.  , it was Brian Xiao, the senior, who resolved the conflict.

    And if he conflicts with Anfernee Hardaway on the Magic team, unfortunately, the coaching staff always favors Anfernee Hardaway

    Brian Shaw and Barkley were discussing how to cooperate. Next to them, the rookie named Fisher, Doug Christie and George Lynch were preparing.

    O¡¯Neal remembered that this was a coordination combination mentioned by Zhang Hao, and he also explained the content of small-scale coordination. The specific coordination needs to be discussed by the players themselves. There are tactics, but the execution depends on the players.

    Byron Scott and Lumil Robinson are warming up with three training camp contract players. They are working as defensive coaches in the top arc support pass and cut tactics with Brian Shaw as the core.

    A training camp contract is just a tool. Players who get such a contract also know that there is a 99% chance that they will not be able to stay in the end, but they still have to work hard to fight for that slim opportunity, otherwise, they will have no chance.  way out.

    Kenny Anderson and Brian Shaw are two groups that O'Neal can participate in and practice together.

    But O'Neal thought about it. When he participated in these two tactics, others were accommodating and cooperating with him. He didn't need to practice together. He had to practice and participate in discussions only after his teammates had some ideas.  If he doesn't go, it will affect his teammates.

    Jason Williams and James Robinson are discussing how to practice the pick-and-roll

    The 15 teammates were well arranged by Zhang Hao.

    O¡¯Neal looked at Zhang Hao, who was quietly warming up at the side. His young and handsome face looked particularly flat.

    But O'Neill has to admit that Zhang Hao's leadership ability in this area is indeed incredibly strong.

    O¡¯Neal also found a trainer to start warming up.

    What to practice?

    "Practice strength, including muscles. I am a power player, and technique let's practice small hooks and turns"

    He doesn't know any other training content. He can dribble and break through. He can also shoot turn-over jump shots. If you let him play with fantasy steps, he can also make a show, but he won't practice these. He knows  When it comes to the game, none of these techniques are as useful as his direct physical suppression, or his ability to jump and rush quickly.

    "I'm a little tired from practicing strength, so I just practice hooks and turns!"

    ¡­¡­

    Point guard: Kenny Anderson, Fisher, James Robinson, Lumir Robinson.

    Shooting guards: Doug Christie, Brian Shaw, Byron Scott.

    Small forward: George Lynch.

    ? Power forward: Barkley, Magic, Jason Williams.

    Center: O'Neal.

    The three training camp contract players don¡¯t look good. They are in positions 3-5, and they are proper sparring partners.

    He Zhang can play three positions in the frontcourt

    After the warm-up, Zhang Hao looked at these teammates, it was so dreamy!

    When chatting with Kenny Anderson, Magic, and Jason Williams before, Zhang Hao analyzed them and found that they did not continue to use centers, not to use O'Neal to death, but to use them to death.Seeing Del Harris come back to guide training, Hao decisively shut up and focused on personal training.

    The content of the training that Zhang Hao led his teammates was originally the tactical content in Del Harris's tactical manual. Del Harris himself guided it, and some of the adjusted details were more targeted than Zhang Hao's.

    And different people have different understandings of a tactic. When Del Harris came to guide it, there were more changes.

    The difficulty of training may have increased, but training is not to prepare for more different situations. It is difficult now. Once the difficult problems are solved, the competition will be smoother.

    After a few days, in terms of training, even O'Neal was convinced of Zhang Hao's ability in this area. There was no way, he was a genius, so in terms of training, Zhang Hao quickly established his authority in the team.

    And Del Harris is the head coach of the team. He has led the 40-win team to the finals and won the best coach. He has his own authority and provides guidance based on the tactics being trained. Therefore, training  The transition to mentorship was very smooth¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The progress of the training camp that the Lakers started early is very gratifying. When the training camp officially opens, the tacit understanding of entering the training camp with teams such as the Jazz and Bulls who have partnered with the core lineup for many years is definitely incomparable, but it is better than  The other lineups that have just been put together are definitely much better.

    Time passes day by day, and on September 24th, the voting for a large-scale official NBA event has begun - the NBA 50th Anniversary 50 Greatest Stars Voting!

    In the past two years, there were rumors that the NBA wanted to select the top 50 players on its 50th anniversary. This topic has been very hot in the past two years.

    When the NBA celebrated its 50th anniversary on June 6, although there was no event held and that day was the third game of the Finals, the NBA officially announced at that time that it would nominate 50 superstars. In the past three months, the NBA has solicited  After receiving a lot of opinions on the design of medals for the top 50 superstars, the ranking method, the time and place of awarding, etc., it was finally decided that the medals would be awarded during the 1997 All-Star Weekend in Cleveland. The medals for each of the top 50 superstars would be the same.  The design of nba+logo+50+ red and blue background is simple and crude.

    There is no ranking. The selected superstars are sorted according to the time they entered the NBA to avoid controversy.

    On September 23, a total of 180 people including retired players, radio announcers, TV hosts, professional reporters, experts, and columnists selected by the league officials arrived at a hotel in New York chartered by NBA officials.

    Voting starts on September 24th!  Results will be announced before training camp begins.

    Next year¡¯s awards will be announced now. The purpose is to increase the popularity!  There are still many current players who can be selected into the top 50 superstars.

    NBA officials have revealed the news of selecting the top 50 superstars early on, just to see the expectations and recognition of the award from the media and fans. Only recognized awards are worthy of being awarded, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

    Fans recognize that only the top 50 superstars are popular and can increase ratings

    Zhang Hao saw in the news that the top 50 superstars would be announced before the start of the regular season, and suddenly discovered that he was about to cooperate with three current top 50 superstars!

    Magic and Barkley are truly the top 50 superstars. They can even be ranked at the forefront of historical point guards and power forwards.

    If nothing else happens, O'Neal will also be selected into the top 50.

 Chapter 199 199. You call this media day?

    The voting for the NBA¡¯s 50 superstars has begun, but the voting is long and complicated.

    The news Zhang Hao saw said that it was necessary to comprehensively analyze five comprehensive data including popularity, number of championships, contribution to the NBA, contribution to the development of basketball, total points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks and so on, every aspect.  All vote individually.

    ? Among them, steals and blocks were officially included in the statistics in the summer of 1973, so there is a complicated weight value calculation that Zhang Hao cannot understand to calculate the data difference before and after 1973.

    Finally, the comprehensive weight value is used for scoring, and the 50 superstars are selected from multiple perspectives.

    The reason why it¡¯s so complicated, Zhang Hao thinks, is that it can be named after the many stars from thirty or forty years ago, but now there are not many fans who only occasionally watch football when they have free time.

    Like George McCann, 40 years have passed and his popularity has definitely faded, but his contribution has skyrocketed. When the NBA was first established, he was the only one selling tickets. If the TV station wanted to broadcast basketball games, they would only broadcast those with him.  game, without him, the NBA would have gone bankrupt in the early 1950s.

    And in terms of inside technology, up to now, it is still basically the same set he created. Of course, the same technology has become more sophisticated after 40 years of development and improvement.

    Most of the NBA rules were set during the years when George McCann was playing.

    ? Coupled with super personal and team honors, he is definitely selected.

    As for Elgin Baylor, the championship has nothing to do with him. If he insists on it, the Lakers won 33 games in a row from the day after he retired, all the way to 69 wins and 13 losses and finally won the championship.

    But Elgin Baylor is quite popular now, the most famous uncrowned king.

    Baylor¡¯s contribution to the development of the NBA is far less than that of George McCann, and he has no special creativity, but his statistics are strong, coupled with his popularity, he also has a lot of personal honors, and he is also in the top 50.

    After reading the introduction about the top 50 players, Zhang Hao felt that it was not about awarding awards, but about creating an NBA cultural label.

    Judging from Zhang Hao's knowledge of the value of the top 50 superstars in the minds of fans in the future, he feels that the creation of this cultural label is successful. Fans in the future will see a certain old-era star as the winner of the top 50 superstars, even if  Even if you don¡¯t know him, you will subconsciously think that he is very strong.

    There are things you can¡¯t envy. After Zhang Hao was envious for a while, he put the matter behind him and continued to devote himself to training for the new season.

    As the training progressed, the transition from small-scale cooperative training to tactically connected team training led by Del Harris progressed very smoothly.

    This proves the pertinence of the logo male signings, because the position battle dominated by O'Neal will definitely be one star and four shots. This is very simple, then Brian Shaw, Byron Scott, James Robinson and other signings  , in fact, they are not specially equipped for O'Neal. These players all have excellent tactical awareness and are players who are very suitable for Del Harris's changeable tactical play, that is, players introduced for the sake of the whole.

    ??If there is anything Zhang Hao regrets about this year¡¯s signings, it is that the team does not have an outside line that is capable of playing pick-and-rolls.

    It¡¯s just that with Jason Williams, an inside teammate who is good at pick-and-rolls, to teach him, but without outside teammates who are good at holding the ball in pick-and-rolls to cooperate with the training, Zhang Hao just knows how to practice. In actual operation, even the entry-level professional level judged by the system is 50 pick-and-rolls.  The ratings were not met.

    But now he has not even mastered the pick-and-roll. With Jason Williams' pick-and-roll ability mainly used on wing shooters, the team has not yet mastered the pick-and-roll for him, and his style of play is to run and catch the ball.  It doesn¡¯t seem so appropriate for a player who mainly shoots to be equipped with a defender who is good at holding the ball in pick-and-rolls

    Faced with this paradoxical problem, although he has the silver-level "Pick-and-roll Executor" medal, pick-and-rolls are indeed not what he is good at. Zhang Hao can only put this aside for the time being and continue to work hard in teamwork to make himself good at it.  things are displayed.

    Time passes day by day, September is over, and a new month has arrived.

    On October 1st, the day when the training camp started, the Lakers had a holiday, because they had trained for 12 of the previous 16 days, and it happened to be the time for two days of rest after four days of training.

    While other teams are on holiday, the Lakers are resting, and they have also changed the media day scheduled for October 2nd to October 3rd The media does not care whether the Lakers started training camp early or not.  Anyway, I found a point to attack.

    "The Arrogant Lakers"

    "Training camp has begun, but the Lakers are on vacation"

    "Barkley and O'Neal at the Grill"

    ""

    ""

    &nIt opened for business for a limited time of 3 hours and was sold until 9 o'clock. Nearly a thousand sets of season tickets were sold.

    At 9 o'clock in the morning, we began to check season tickets, press passes, etc., and began to enter the arena.

    When the media and fans came to the stadium seating area, they were dumbfounded. How does it look like a concert?

    Today¡¯s layout of the Great Western Forum Arena is that only a little more than half of the seats are arranged. The seating area in the direction of the technical table during the game is blocked by a temporary iron wall. In front of the wall is the stage!

    It¡¯s just like a concert stage!

    Two-thirds of the original more than 4,000 season ticket holders came, and nearly a thousand more sets of season tickets were sold on site. More than 4,000 fans were guided by the staff to the seats on both sides, leaving the middle seat for  Journalists.

    At 9:58 in the morning, the live broadcast of Time Warner Cable Sports began. After the host introduced what today¡¯s program was and the TV screen switched to the scene, even the host exclaimed.

    The fans watching in front of the TV were also dumbfounded.

    Is this called media day?  Is this a team's media day scene?

    Can it be used directly for concerts?  Could it be that a singer held a concert at the Great Western Forum Arena last night and there was no time to dismantle it?

    Then, at 10 o¡¯clock, the lights at the venue dimmed and turned into a concert-like light ball, the lights were shining, and the melody of the music sounded

    "yeah¡­¡­"

    The magician¡¯s magnetic voice sounded.

    ¡°Lakers.¡±

    Some fans heard it and it was Barkley who said this word.

    "Ode to the Lakers, for everyone"

    This voice is relatively unfamiliar to the fans, but some people recognized it as the voice of Zhang Hao, who usually talks less!

    ¡°Wait a minutewhat did Zhang Hao say?  Ode to the Lakers?

    Sing?

    It¡¯s really a concert!  Everyone at the scene and in front of the TV was stunned!

    When everyone was shocked and confused, Zhang Hao¡¯s rapping voice sounded

    "Coming to this world in 1948, the history of basketball recorded this time. George McCann subverted the concept of the sport. Winning five championships in six years changed the boundaries of the 3-second zone. In 1960, he came to his current home, a legend.  It is still being written in another place, Jerry West has become the face of the NBA, and Baylor¡¯s 61 points in the Finals are difficult to repeat. Magic Johnson was picked off in 1979, and the world entered showtime" (This paragraph is in English, excerpted from  Song "Ode to the Lakers")

    A short rap, it didn¡¯t last long, only 58 seconds, it was strangled to death, and it ended abruptly,

    The lyrics are very good and interesting, and the melody is okay. The key is to adapt to the situation. People at the scene and in front of the TV discovered that Zhang Hao actually has other talents, and his slightly immature voice is really good. Thinking of the reports I saw before,  It is said that the Japanese TV drama production company believes that Zhang Hao¡¯s acting skills will be more promising in making movies

    Co-author Zhang Hao is still a genius in film, television and singing?

    Heart itching, many people wanted to hear Zhang Hao sing a few more lines. Some people at the scene started shouting "x", and a trembling roar sounded with anger and unwillingness

    "The Lakers are back!"

    At this time, the spotlight hit the stage, and the lift in the empty area on the stage rose.

    The Lakers¡¯ top five starters make their debut!

    ??Looking at O'Neal, whose face is twisted with anger but consistent with his cognition, the Magician on O'Neal's right, Barkley on O'Neal's left, Zhang Hao on the far left holding a microphone, and the somewhat reserved Kenny Smith on the far right

    The crowd of more than 4,000 people was excited!

    At this moment, they were as restless as if they were attending a rock singer's concert!

    This picture has such a strong impact!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 200 200. This is fate, you can¡¯t escape it

    Not willing to give in!  Extreme sadness and indignation!

    The weather in Chicago is getting cold, so I bought a new pair of leather pants and wore Jordan to the training camp to keep out the cold. He trained until 10 o'clock and came to the lounge to watch the Lakers' media day live broadcast on TV.

    It¡¯s not just once or twice that he has been the defending champion. This is the first time that Jordan feels so insignificant as a defending champion.

    It¡¯s not that there are no reporters covering the event, but more reporters than in previous years.

    But the most asked topic this year is about the Lakers!

    Those who didn¡¯t know better thought the Lakers were the defending champions!

    And, is this really a basketball team?  Simply not doing his job!  Day by day

    So, when Jordan, who turned off the TV and returned to the training ground, was asked by the reporter filming their training, "Who do you think is the best young player?", Jordan decisively replied: "Penny"

    ¡­¡­

    There was also a person at the live broadcast who was extremely sad and angry.

    But O'Neal's sad and angry expression was given the treatment of reading comprehension - this is O'Neal who wants to prove himself in the new season, break the rumors questioning his 127 million contract premium, and counter the Orlando media's "worst contract in history" remarks.

    The fact is that O'Neal was envious and jealous when he saw Zhang Hao stealing the show!

    He can also sing!  He can also rap, sing and dance. He is also an NBA All-Star starting player and is very good at basketball.

    But after Zhang Hao sang the opening song, he knew that the person who was most popular tonight was definitely not him standing in the C position, but Zhang Hao.

    The cheers of the fans at the scene, standing in the C position It's so cool Zhang Hao stood in the corner.

    O¡¯Neill¡¯s anger and unwillingness are because he didn¡¯t expect to prepare a song to sing today!

    Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to keep a low profile and wanted to let O'Neal sing a song here, but when Jenny Buss asked him to sing by name this morning, he remembered that when he sent Jenny Buss home yesterday, he  It's about him preparing a song.

    ¡°Unfortunately, on his way home last night, he remembered a very popular rap song in the future, which excerpted the period from the founding of the Lakers to the Showtime era.

    Unfortunately, he remembered that he forgot to inform his teammates that he was going to sing.

    Then, we went on stage to perform

    He felt that O'Neal's roar did not seem to express his attitude of wanting to prove himself, and there was also a lot of envy and jealousy, but if he was asked to choose again, he would still sing instead of simply stepping on the elevator to appear.

    In the nearly one year since he came to Los Angeles, his hobbies have also changed a lot - how can he not enjoy the spotlight while playing in Los Angeles?

    When survival is no longer a problem, he enjoys other things that basketball itself brings, such as being in the limelight.

    He has already played in the NBA, and now he just wants to be a superstar!

    However, he cannot do things beyond his own strength. For example, he is not the strongest one on the team. After his appearance, he silently stood aside and gave up the stage to O'Neal, Barkley, Magic, and Kenny.  - Anderson.

    His hobbies have changed and his habits have developed. He just likes to keep a poker face in public and only relaxes in private and only with a few people.

    When it came to the interview session, the home DJ who was the guest host knew that Zhang Hao didn't like to "show his face", so when the five major stars were interviewed, they came one by one. The first one was Zhang Hao. After being asked two questions, the host immediately changed to Ken.  Neil Anderson came to let reporters ask questions.

    Then Barkley, then Magic, and finally O'Neal in the C position.

    No one really competed with O'Neal for this C position. Whether it was yesterday's group photo or today's stage role, everyone tacitly gave it to O'Neal.

    The interviews with the five major players included both lighthearted and pointed questions, all of which had their own answers. They passed quickly, followed by the introduction of more than a dozen other players. Before the official training camp time, the Lakers  The team signed three more training camp contract players, completing the 20-man roster for the preseason.

    The next four days of the training camp will be team confrontation training.

    Except for Fisher, a rookie, everyone else has experience with this kind of media day. Although today¡¯s opening appearance is very special, there is a live broadcast, there are fans at the scene, for players who come to play for the Lakers for the first time.  There was also a surprising amount of media, but overall it was just a media day.

    The interview in the morning, the makeup photo shoot and the individual interview in the afternoon all went smoothly.

    And because of the half-hour live broadcast in the morning, everyonebsp; Hearing Zhang Hao's words, O'Neal immediately accelerated his speed. His flexibility and athletic ability are also outstanding. He can disappear from the training ground in two or three times with a walking stick.

    Magic is looking at the heartbroken 19-year-old boy, and the Mesozoic player who is in his fifth year of career and is so childish that he can't refute and leave in anger. This is really who is the player on the rookie contract?  Who is the one standing in the C position of the team with the largest salary of US$127 million in history?

    After some complaints, Zhang Hao felt much better mentally.

    As for the current situation where O'Neal may not be able to play until the beginning of December at the longest, Zhang Hao thought about Anfernee Hardaway's situation last year and felt that he can still accept it. He also has Kenny Anderson and Buck.  Lee, magician.

    At most, it would be back to the situation he originally thought O'Neal would be without, but Campbell has become Kenny Anderson, and the center thickness is tight

    But it is impossible not to trade Campbell. Campbell's salary is at the same level as Olajuwon and David Robinson. If the team needs Campbell to deal with O'Neal, or if it is rebuilding, it needs to accumulate high-quality resources for trading in the future.  It doesn't matter about the team, but the Lakers have O'Neal. Without sending Campbell to a rival team, he must send him away if he can.

    Now Zhang Hao also understands the reason why the logo man has kept Campbell - it will be effective when meeting with O'Neal.

    If you don¡¯t come, we will use Campbell against you.

    Moreover, if Campbell is not traded, there will be no Kenny Anderson, and the defense line is weak. In contrast, without the pressure of dealing with O'Neal, for the Lakers, Kenny Anderson can attack independently and organize offense.  Wei has a greater role than Campbell.

    Regarding O'Neal's injury at the beginning, we can only accept it, but there is nothing we can do if we don't accept it.

    Just when Zhang Hao was thinking about who the coaching staff would arrange first for the team during the next period of O'Neal's absence, Barkley spoke: "Akers, it's okay, don't worry too much."

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes lit up, yes!  They also have Barkley!

    Barkley came up, stretched out his arm and hooked Zhang Hao's shoulder and said, "Don't we still have you? I believe you can lead us forward when Shaq is not around!"

    ""

    Zhang Hao stared at Buckley blankly for several seconds, wiped down the blood that almost spurted out, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Buckley, are you sorry?"

    "You are a first-team player, so of course it depends on you."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not feel a little relaxed during the interactions between Zhang Hao and O'Neal, Zhang Hao and Barkley. Some teammates couldn't help laughing when they heard Zhang Hao's questions.

    Looking at Buckley's "I'm just thick-skinned" look, Zhang Hao was helpless. At this time, he saw two people

    "Ahem, I'm not a core player. It's hard to rely on me, but it doesn't matter. Mr. Johnson and Boss Kenny, we have to rely on you two!"

 Chapter 201 201. Bodyguards in place

    "I promised to play for another year. It was you who said you would lead me to win the championship"

    "I thought the Lakers traded me back to help Akers"

    Indeed, no one noticed that O'Neal trained so hard every day. After learning about this, many people on the Lakers curiously watched the surveillance video and found out that it was true. During the 12 days of training, O'Neal was the one who trained the most!

    However, although he was injured, O'Neal's physical strength surprised everyone - he weighed 132 kilograms and could actually practice like this!

    O¡¯Neal is injured, there¡¯s nothing we can do about it.

    ¡°Barkley is thick-skinned and can¡¯t help it.

    Zhang Hao is indeed not a core player, but a puzzle player. There is nothing to refute this.

    Magician and Kenny Anderson are speechless now, they are so big!

    The next morning, Del Harris held a team meeting and announced the adjustments to his style of play in response to O'Neal's absence. Unfortunately for the two of them, they had indeed become the absolute core of tactics.

    When Del Harris made adjustments, he took Barkley's thoughts into consideration. If no one else is available, then Barkley must be the core of the tactics. Barkley has averaged 4.1 assists per game so far in his career. There is no problem with using him as the core of the inside tactics.

    But there are other players who can serve as the core. With Barkley holding his thighs confidently, he will be 34 years old in 4 months, and O'Neal has just been injured. Del Harris decisively  Kenny Anderson was chosen as the tactical core and Magic as the second tactical core.

    In the tactics, it is Zhang Hao who coordinates with his teammates, controlling movement, catching and shooting, assisting with second passes, and taking shots

    With Zhang Hao here, teammates with the ball can play better if they have some brains, but Zhang Hao is not the core of the tactics.

    This is very important for Zhang Hao. He is better at this kind of play, rather than having to rush to the shelf.

    Not everyone is like the future Tracy McGrady who rushed to the shelves and accidentally became a superstar.

    ¡­¡­

    O'Neal may be injured for up to a month during the regular season. This situation makes the Lakers training camp contract players very excited. They feel that they have a chance!

    For players on the fringe, the best chance they can hope for is that a main player is injured.

    However, on the morning of October 6, the Lakers announced the early termination of all training camp contracts.

    Then, the Lakers used a base salary of US$250,000 and a 1+1 second-year team option totaling US$580,000 to sign a Washington Bullets training camp contract player and this year's undrafted Ben Wallace.  .

    Originally, Ben Wallace had entered the Washington Bullets training camp and received a 10-day short contract.

    But last night, the Lakers offered such a fully guaranteed basic salary, and the Bullets did not choose to match it.

    Although the announcement of signing Ben Wallace was made this morning, later than the early contact with the training camp contract, the decision was actually made earlier.

    O'Neal's injury will definitely bring about a decline in overall strength. O'Neal will have to go through a running-in period after his comeback. Therefore, he must play better in the early stages of the season.

    As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. Del Harris is an old fox who likes to try. He plans to simply start the formal running-in period in the preseason to avoid the situation where the formal running-in period begins in the regular season, only to have O'Neal come back just after running-in.  The dilemma of starting to run in.

    ??The main lineup will start directly in the preseason, and it is possible that opponents will be able to figure out their playing style at the beginning of the regular season. There are also problems with the adaptation period being too short, and there are potential injuries

    But Del Harris chose to take a gamble.

    The worst thing is to use more young players, such as Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao, George Lynch, Jason Williams and others

    Then, in another team meeting on the morning of October 6, Kenny Anderson discovered that he finally became the absolute core of the team again, and he became the absolute core in a team like the Lakers surrounded by stars.  But why does he feel so miserable?

    But there is no way. Judging from the strategic layout of the preseason and the preliminary decision of the tactical framework at the beginning of the regular season announced by the coaching staff, Kenny Anderson can really shout: "I am the core of the Lakers' five All-Stars."  !¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Ervin Johnson, 37 years old, 206 centimeters, 110 kilograms, ability evaluation 85 If he hadn't missed a few years due to illness, Magic could have been stronger, right? This state has been maintained, and many people don't remember Magic.  The year he retired, he just led the team to the finals and averaged 12.5 points per game in the regular season.??Pretty good.

    122 to 108, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies.

    But in this game, Del Harris has a headache. Fortunately, he was prepared beforehand.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of the game, Barkley had no solution when holding the ball.

    But when it comes to tactical practice, Barkley has no desire to attack and simply takes on the task of threatening

    And, that damn kid!  He actually took the initiative to reduce his attacks!  Don¡¯t you know the team is short of scorers?

    Del Harris is also desperate when he thinks that despite having Kenny Anderson, Barkley, O'Neal, and Zhang Hao, he lacks a player who is willing to shoot more.

    He originally thought that dealing with the relationship within the team was the most troublesome thing. It was troublesome to distribute the ball rights and shot rights to the satisfaction of the stars.

    I didn¡¯t expect that finding someone to be the core and find someone to shoot more shots would actually become a headache!

    ?Then we can only rely more on the outside and increase the proportion of Zhang Hao's shots in tactics.

    Before heading to the away game, the Lakers held another team meeting. Kenny Anderson and Magic felt very miserable. After three actual games, the coaching staff really determined that they were the core.

    And by coincidence, they saw several previous news clips in the newspaper edited together.

    ¡°Now, I feel like I don¡¯t have to score 27 points per game and I don¡¯t have to take 20 shots per game. I feel like I can just play 30 minutes a game and score 17 or 18 points.¡±

    "I thought I was here to be the boss, but I found that I was on my lap, and I could happily think about what to eat for dinner every day"

    "I have better teammates, I can win!"

    After the tactical meeting, Kenny Anderson and Magic were in the lounge together watching the reports of previous interviews with the three recognized strongest players on their team

    The magician asked uncertainly: "The thighs they are talking about are the two of us?"

    Kenny Anderson wasn¡¯t sure either: ¡°It seems so.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The preseason ended quickly. On October 27, the Lakers defeated the Warriors and achieved a preseason record of 3 wins and 4 losses.

    There will be two days off next. The players need to take a rest. The coaching staff needs to make final tactical adjustments before the start of the regular season. They will go to New York on the 30th. On the 1st of next month, they will challenge the Knicks away from home to start the new season.  .

    After 7 preseason games, Zhang Hao can feel that his teammates are stronger, but their cooperation is indeed far from their almost perfect cooperation last season.

    But Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t think there¡¯s anything bad about this year. They have a chance to become stronger, and last year¡¯s lineup was the best in the second round.

    After finally having two days of rest, Zhang Hao planned to take a relaxing two days to rest and clear his mind.

    But on the evening of October 28, a piece of news made him unable to relax

    I don¡¯t know who leaked the list of the top 50 superstars that should be announced at noon tomorrow!

 Recommendations

    ??????????????????????? Thanks to the editor-in-chief, Latiao Da Da, thanks to Qidian, thanks to Yuewen, for giving me this platform and the opportunity to be recommended by the university. I thought I would not be able to get into it with this grade.

    As a newbie, I am very happy that I have recommended it, and I feel like I should say something.

    In the early days of writing a new book, I seemed to be writing pretty averagely. Indeed, I had agreed to start the book in February, but I was completely unprepared. However, I felt that I was itching after resting for too long, so I wanted to write. However, I ended up writing a few words in December.  The chapter was sent directly. As expected, there were quite a lot of questions posted without preparation.

    The results were poor after it was put on the shelves. I couldn¡¯t help it, and I blamed myself. However, many friends said that Xiaofeng¡¯s writing was pretty good at the end, which made Xiaofeng stop thinking about self-conception and continue writing with peace of mind. After that, his grades also improved.

    Originally, I planned to focus on paying more than half of what I owed today, but Xiaofeng found that he had overestimated himself. Saving manuscripts was not suitable for Xiaofeng at all. After saving for 10 days, it would be worse than not saving. If he didn't save, he would get more every day.  A little more.

    The results are pretty good now. Although they are not high-quality, they are at least more than 2,000 words, which gives Xiaofeng the motivation to write at least 10,000 words every day.

    Thank you very much for his patientness until Xiaofeng's writing state is getting better. He has been subscribing to now. He has not given up.

    I hope that I can get a high-quality book in the end. It¡¯s still a bit difficult to even out 3000. Don¡¯t worry, Xiaofeng has a good attitude and won¡¯t give up halfway just because the score is less than half of the previous book.

    Even if the average number is less than 2,000, Xiaofeng will still write at least 5,000 words every day. After the stable update, the average number is now more than 2,000, and there will definitely be 10,000 words per day.

    From now on, I will write 10,000 words every day, one chapter each at 12 noon and 12 o'clock in the evening. If I can add an update to a chapter halfway through, I will try to finish the remaining 100,000 words as soon as possible.

    That¡¯s it, I was so busy yesterday and so free today, I will write the update at 12 o¡¯clock tonight.

    Thanks!

 Chapter 202 202. The benefits of lying down, the big fat anger

    On the evening of October 28, 1996, a New York gossip media announced the list of NBA 50 superstar winners who had just completed the final voting statistics and calculations today.

    A total of 9 point guards, 9 shooting guards, 9 small forwards, 9 power forwards, and 14 centers were selected.

    Point Guard: Nate Archibald, Bob Cousy, Walter Frazier, Earvin Johnson, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Dave Bing, Oscar  -Robertson, Lanny Wilkens.

    Shooting Guards: Clyde Drexler, George Checkered, Hal Grier, Sam Jones, Michael Jordan, Pete Maravich, Earl Monroe, Bill Shah  Mann, Jerry West.

    Small forward: Paul Arrikin, Rick Barry, Elgin Baylor, Larry Bird, Bill Cunningham, Julius Erving, John Havlicek, Scottie Pippen,  James Worthy.

    Power forward: Charles Barkley, Dave DeBusschere, Elvin Hayes, Jerry Lucas, Karl Malone, Kevin McHale, Bob Pettit, more  Wolf-Shayes, Zhang Hao.

    Center: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Dave Cowens, Patrick Ewing, Moses Malone, George Mikan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Robert Parish,  Willis Reed, David Robinson, Bill Russell, Nate Thurmond, Wes Unseld, Bill Walton.

    As soon as this list was announced, many people thought it was real at first, because it looked decent, and it was indeed the names that the media had analyzed in the past two years when there was no news to speculate on. However, they saw that the power forward was inserted.  A single name¡­

    The degree of realism does not seem to be that high.

    When many people see this name, their first reaction is - are you kidding me?  False news?

    But, the other names all look too real!  Moreover, the editor-in-chief of this magazine stated in an interview that this is the news they received within the NBA, and the specific source does not need to be disclosed.

    When the media wanted to ask NBA officials whether the exposed list was true, NBA officials refused to be interviewed.

    This made the media who originally thought it was fake news dumbfounded. After the news that NBA officials refused to accept interviews spread, things became confusing

    Finally, after a night of heated public opinion, at 8 a.m. the next day, in the live news program of the American cable TV station, the NBA announced the list of the top 50 superstars 4 hours in advance.

    The list officially announced by the NBA is almost the same as the list exposed by the gossip media, except that Zhang Hao's name at the power forward position has been removed, and Shaq O'Neal is added between Olajuwon and Robert Parish at the center position.  In terms of name, the power forward position has become 8 top 50 superstars, and the center position has become 15 top 50 superstars.

    After the list was announced, David Stern appeared on the live broadcast.

    After chatting with the host, David Stern said: "We spent more than a month and went through multiple rounds of voting, combining personal data, contributions to the NBA and basketball, personal honors, team honors  and a series of conditions, combining the opinions of retired players, senior fans, basketball experts, professional commentators, professional announcers and other professionals to complete this voting and select the 50 most authoritative superstars  , these 50 superstars will become the 50 superstar representatives of the NBA's 50th anniversary, and they will be honored at the 1997 All-Star Weekend in Cleveland.

    I am very sorry that this precious list was leaked in advance due to our mistake.

    But the leaked list is not accurate. We have been working hard in the past few days. We only completed the calculation of the final comprehensive score yesterday morning. When counting the top 50 players with the highest comprehensive score, we accidentally omitted the 50th player.  , and accidentally put the 51st player on the list.

    ¡°Before we reviewed, confirmed the final list, and just sorted it alphabetically by position and last name, someone stole the list.

    I¡¯m sorry for this mistake. I will strictly investigate the cause of this accident and give an explanation to the fans.

    Finally, I am still very proud to announce that we have selected the 50 greatest superstars for the 50th anniversary of the NBA!  "

    After saying that, David Stern bowed with apologetic expression on his face

    ¡­¡­

    The final result officially announced by the alliance actually said it was just an accident!

    The media, fans, and experts discussed it all night and finally got this answer.

    ?That is to say, I just sprayed Zhang Hao for one night

    However, O'Neal's selection into the top 50 was equally controversial.

    Because compared with any of the other 50 superstars, regardless of statistics, personal honors, and team honors, O'Neal is the most defeated one. After all, heHe didn't disturb anyone. He knew very well what impact his absence had on the team. He couldn't continue to affect others. Before he came back, he had to rely on his teammates to get off to a good start, otherwise he would have to rely on his teammates to get off to a good start.  It¡¯s still very tiring to chase.

    ??Especially not to disturb that guy

    But the training was over, and O'Neal limped next to Zhang Hao, who was doing Kareem-style post-game physical therapy to trigger the effect of "Health Master (Bronze)".

    When Zhang Hao tried to perform Kareem-style physical therapy after a training session, he discovered that this medal not only triggered the effect after the game, but also triggered the effect after normal training. That is, the consumption caused during training will also be obtained.  therapeutic effect, so this aspect becomes more attentive.

    The longer you fight, the longer you live

    Suddenly, a fat man in a suit appeared next to him. Just as Zhang Hao was about to say a polite greeting, O'Neal said: "Akers, don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged. In 10 years, when the 60 superstars are selected, you will definitely be there!"

    The subtext is¡ª¡ª

    Zhang Hao glanced at O'Neal, said nothing, and left directly after the physical therapy.

    A little angry!  You have to find a way to fight back.

    Let Big Ben beat O'Neal?

    The difference in tonnage is too big. If there is a peak Big Ben of over 110 kilograms in a few years, it may be okay now.

    But no!  Still have to think of something!

    "By the way, don't I have an interview this afternoon? Let him"

    ¡­¡­

    In the afternoon, after the lunch break, the Lakers began to warm up for the game against the Knicks at 5:30 in the evening.

    O'Neal also came. He received an invitation for an exclusive interview. The TV station said it was best to conduct the interview at the training ground. He could express his regrets about missing the "debut day of the top 50 active superstars" and also encourage his teammates.

    Today¡¯s interview is one of the few that O¡¯Neal has accepted recently that makes him happy. Because the topic of today¡¯s interview is about being selected into the top 50 superstars, O¡¯Neal is naturally very happy, and the questions asked by friendly channel Time Warner Cable Sports are also very friendly.

    While O'Neal was happily being interviewed, another 50-year-old Starbuck Lee and Zhang Hao, who was almost selected into the 50-year-old superstar, barged in.

    "Come to take advantage of the camera? We are too popular and there is nothing we can do about it, so let them take advantage of the camera!"

    Just when O'Neal was about to cheer, Barkley asked first: "Shaq, have you ever seen fireworks?"

    O¡¯Neal asked in confusion: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    "Akers and I want to set off fireworks to celebrate your selection into the 50 Greatest Stars!"

    "real?"

    "Really, are you ready?"

    "What? Put it here? Isn't it safe!"

    "Don't worry, it's safe!"

    O'Neal is also interested. It's really interesting to set off fireworks in the Madison Square Garden Arena. Since it's safe, it should be no problem. If there is a problem, it's not his problem.

    At this time, O'Neal saw Barkley take out a firecracker This thing, Er Pang, you call it a firecracker?

    O'Neal wanted to get angry on the spot, but he only saw Barkley snap his fingers, and then made a "whoosh" sound from his mouth.

    "What is this retard doing?"

    O'Neal watched as Barkley raised the firecracker while making a "whoosh" sound. Sitting there, he subconsciously raised his head to look at where the firecracker was moving.

    He thought that there must be some reason for this, and it couldn't be so stupid.

    Then¡­¡­

    ¡°Kang, ang, ang, ang, ang¡­¡±

    O'Neal was startled by the sudden "explosion" and subconsciously covered his face. His first reaction was that the firecracker raised by Barkley had exploded.

    Then suddenly I realized something was wrong, and there was laughter!

    When he opened his eyes, Buckley let out a crazy laugh. The "explosion" just now seemed to come from behind. When he turned around, he saw Zhang Hao holding two large bottles with no expression on his face.  It's trembling, and there are still sounds!

    ¡°This¡­How could O¡¯Neal not know that he had been teased just now? He stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao moved and nimbly dodged¡­

    Turning around to catch Barkley again, Barkley had already retreated far away.

    O¡¯Neal stood up to chase, but Zhang Hao threw it away, turned around and ran away. Barkley also turned around and ran away, and in a different direction!

    When O'Neal stood up, the pain in his calf suddenly came, and he could only sit back down.

    At this moment, O'Neal was furious!

    "If I were agile, I wouldn't be able to kill you!"

 Chapter 203 203. Stunning pass

    At 3 p.m. Eastern time, the defending champion Bulls and Rockets started the first game of the regular season this season, kicking off the new season.

    The Rockets introduced Divac, which improved their inside depth, but at the beginning of the new season, Olajuwon's decline was clearly exposed.

    He only made 8 of 18 shots in the game, and Olajuwon only scored 19 points and 8 rebounds. Drexler's decline was even more obvious. He only made 3 of 11 shots in the game, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and he only scored 10 points.  4 assists.

    Divac, who was considered to have "enhanced depth", played an All-Star performance, making 9 of 16 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, which helped the Rockets carry on for a while.

    But in the third quarter, the Rockets were defeated by the Bulls. Their two top 50 superstars performed dismal, while two of the three top 50 superstars on the opposite side performed extremely well.

    The Bulls continued their strong performance in the third quarter and sealed the victory in the third quarter.

    On the other side, when the defending champion Bulls¡¯ championship ring award night battle reached the fourth quarter and lost all suspense, the Lakers players were about to appear in the tunnel of the visiting team at Madison Square Garden.

    Zhang Hao stood at the entrance of the player tunnel, looking at the court of the Holy Land of Basketball

    The second time he came here to play, he was still excited.

    For a professional basketball player, this place is always special and I want to play here every year.

    "It's a great honor to play hereas long as you're not a Knicks player.

    When the Knicks have a good record, the fans still support them very enthusiastically. Just like in recent years, they have reached the finals and have many stars. This summer they also signed a contract worth more than 100 million US dollars. They will soon  The new season started well, with a total salary of US$30 million, but next season their total salary will be higher than that of the Bulls, who have a player with an annual salary of US$30.14 million, even if they do nothing next offseason.  , the salary next season will also reach 57 million US dollars. The lineup created by spending so much money looks extremely beautiful.

    Chris Childs, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, Ewing, so strong!

    However, when meeting certain special players, unless their Knicks team has just won the championship, they will definitely turn against them.

    ??This situation first appeared in the 1950s. At that time, the most famous title of New York basketball news reports was-"McCann vs. Knicks."

    Some things only happen 0 times or countless times. After the first time, New York basketball fans will let themselves go. Whenever a star performs explosively in New York and beats them to the point where they don't want it, the fans will switch sides except  Reggie Miller.

    No, the Lakers players are going to play soon. The fans at the scene are not interested in watching the performance of the hot cheerleaders. Facing the Lakers with three 50-year-old superstars, the fans at the scene are already excited before the Lakers players even appear.  Started to boo like crazy.

    However, while the boos filled the air, there were also clearly audible shouts of "x" and "Jintmen" at a loud volume.

    Just when Zhang Hao was having fun listening to the boos and calls to him by his English name or nickname, the second fat man came next to him: "Akers, are you the first or the last?"

    First?  the last one?

    Looking at the Knicks staff next to him, Zhang Hao realized what the order of appearance was.

    Originally, in order to let O'Neal play happily, Zhang Hao decided not to fight over things like being the first to appear and being on stage, and let O'Neal and Barkley fight happily.

    But now O'Neal is injured Zhang Hao responded: "Be the first one."

    Barkley nodded, filled out the order of appearance and handed it to the Knicks staff.

    Originally, this kind of thing should have been decided from the beginning. Some games may not necessarily have an appearance ceremony, but in the opening game, there will definitely be one. The staff will tell the other three Lakers except Zhang Hao and Barkley in the order of appearance.  After confirming it, the starting players quickly left with the order of appearance and handed it over to the on-site DJ. Fortunately, George Lynch and Doug Christie had a new point guard glaring at the two big guys at the tunnel.  My eyes widened

    Soon, at 5:10 in the evening, the cheerleading performance ended and everyone evacuated the stadium. After the debris left on the stadium from the opening jersey show was cleaned up and the floor was mopped, the lights dimmed and the spotlight was on the visiting team players.  Passage mouth.

    Magic and Jerome Corsi took the lead in running out of the tunnel and stood on both sides.

    With the exception of Robert Parish of the defending champion Bulls, only the Lakers are able to treat the top 50 superstars as substitutes. Moreover, this top 50 superstar is still among the top five in history!

    Wearing a suit?Take action

    Didn¡¯t get in!

    However, George Lynch grabbed the offensive rebound, and Charles Oakley blocked it immediately.

    When Kenny Anderson jumped in, Larry Johnson also took it back. O'Neal and Barkley were surrounded by three people at close range. George Lynch found Zhang Hao who moved to the free throw line, and Zhang Hao received the ball.  At that time, Charles Oakley was very active in making a save. Forced shot?  No!  When Zhang Hao was blocked by Charles Oakley, he pushed the ball to the floor. The ball took a step outside the reasonable collision area and passed under Ewing's crotch, which was against Barkley

    Kenny Anderson, who was ignored after missing the throw, caught the ball behind Ewing!  Kenny Anderson didn't expect the ball to pass in. Fortunately, he subconsciously grabbed the ball when he encountered it.

    It doesn¡¯t matter even though I was a little surprised, Kenny Anderson reacted and caught the ball and threw it again and scored!

    ??This ball, if Zhang Hao directly catches the ball and shoots it, there is a high probability that it will be interfered with. Childs is also blocking the ball. Zhang Hao chooses to dodge Charles Oakley and is likely to be intercepted.

    Then, Zhang Hao chose the third option, which was more risky but passed the ball and his teammates received it and scored.

    The magician on the sidelines stood up and applauded the ball, but he felt that Zhang Hao was so brave!  How dare you pass the ball like this when there are four frontcourt players under the basket!

    But if the pass is in place, it¡¯s a good ball!

    In terms of passing accuracy, Zhang Hao is just excellent, not even top-notch, but his awareness of passing, ability to seize the moment, and courage, the magician feels that Zhang Hao is very talented in this aspect!  During the offseason, he could feel it just by coaching Zhang Hao.

    Although this ball was wild, the away fans screamed in exclamation!

    The wave is a bit rough, but this pass looks so amazing!  The kind that gives people goosebumps!

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Knicks attack.

    Like the Lakers, the Knicks' first goal is to be given to the last player in the order of appearance for a singles.

    After Ewing came to the frontcourt, he went directly to the inside. He had to rely on his height and body and his weight to beat Zhang Hao.

    During the offseason, Ewing lost a full 20 pounds in order to support his knees, from his peak weight of 119 kilograms last season to 110 kilograms. However, facing Zhang Hao, he felt that he should still have an advantage

    Eh?

    After getting stuck, Ewing found that he couldn¡¯t squeeze Zhang Hao!

    Although he has lost weight, his strength is still at the top level. He played against Zhang Hao twice last season. Because of the huge strength gap, even in the game where Zhang Hao broke out, Ewing had a relatively large strength advantage.  The feeling of strange power is not obvious.

    Now, what Ewing feels is not that his strength advantage has become smaller, but that he has become completely unable to squeeze in!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 204 204. I am the coach!

    Ewing¡¯s rapid decline in dominance began with his weight loss.

    Originally, with his style of play that relied less on athletic ability than Olajuwon after the age of 30, he was fully capable of being the top scorer of a top team like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Malone at the age of 37 or 18.  ability, but his knees have been affecting him since he entered the NBA. Losing weight during the offseason has made him look lighter. His mobility is better than in the past two years, and his defensive steps are better than in the past two years.  Excellent. In the preseason, he looked like he was in his 30s. His mid-range and cutting scoring was like he was back in his prime.

    However, the power of strong attack has plummeted!

    Zhang Hao, who weighs 103 kilograms and has a strength rating of 92, faces Ewing who weighs 110 kilograms and has a strength rating of 90. He is not too disadvantaged in terms of tonnage and has stronger static strength. He learned to play post-up with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the offseason, so he naturally learned how to defend against him.  In the low post, Zhang Hao doesn't know how much progress he has made just in terms of preventing low post backs, but the details of blocking, the most basic thing, Zhang Hao knows that he can already do a good job.

    He was shocked. If he wasn't in a better position, he would be in a better position. Ewing acted as if nothing had happened. He relied on Zhang Hao to catch the ball, use his skills, and turned left towards the baseline Zhang Hao keenly turned to the left.  Moved a step laterally, blocking the space for Ewing to take off after landing!

    Ewing turned around in a hurry. He turned around, and he looked very beautiful because of his solid basic skills. However, he did not have the advantage in the confrontation. When he turned around and threw the ball, he did not exert enough force, and the ball hit the basket!

    Barkley comes in to protect the rebound!

    Ewing didn¡¯t want others to know that he was trying to beat Zhang Hao hard before turning around. In other people¡¯s eyes, Ewing wanted to play tricks on Zhang Hao, a big enemy, but ended up screwing him up.

    Only the person involved knows that this attack cannot be defeated by force!

    Zhang Hao was very excited. He felt the improvement in his defense against low posts!  Consciousness and judgment have improved tremendously!  However, the opponent is not only an outstanding player in the low post, but also has many other scoring methods. They are called specimens of center skills and should not be careless.

    It¡¯s just that Zhang strengthened his strength training and increased his weight during the offseason, and he happened to be able to restrain the weight-loss Ewing in the low position.

    Ewing quickly retreated into position without any change in his expression His face, which is always bitter and full of hatred, it is really impossible to tell whether he has any emotional changes, it is just like Zhang Hao's indifferent face.

    Kenny Anderson received the ball and advanced quickly, but the fast break failed. The Knicks did a very good job in delaying the fast player and judging the best time to release the ball at the first point.

    Not only that, after falling into a complete positional battle defense, Kenny Anderson, as a point guard who is very good at scoring and passing, keenly judged that the opponent's defense was a bit strong!

    At leastbetter than their Lakers team!

    With the experience of the first round, Kenny Anderson broke the rules. When he is the boss, he will be the boss. The last round was hasty, and this round just started the official test. After forcefully breaking into close range, he had a chance to get rid of Chai.  Else defended, but Kenny Anderson did not force the ball to beat the poor rhythm, but passed it to George Lynch who was cutting in. George Lynch seemed to have a better chance to attack the frame at this moment.

    However, the fierce frontcourt defensive rotation composed of Charles Oakley, Ewing, and Larry Johnson was very strong. Charles Oakley made up for it in time, and Ewing, who was supposed to make up for George Lynch, failed to make up for it.  After George Lynch was blocked and before passing the ball, he made a forward swing and timely added to the route of George Lynch passing to Zhang Hao.

    Fortunately, Kenny Anderson, who had foreseen this possibility in advance, had already moved to the receiving position, received the ball, and ran out. He had no chance. He was so close that he was close to the free throw line. It was like entering the Colosseum.  It was the same, full of confrontation. At this time, I saw someone throwing the ball, and Kenny Anderson immediately threw it

    When I saw who it was, I immediately regretted it.

    It¡¯s Zhang Hao who takes over!

    Zhang Hao did catch the ball, but Ewing made up for it, so that¡¯s okay. The group of people at close range were too choked to rush in, so that¡¯s no problem. The key is that there are only 4 seconds left!

    The ball came flying, but it had already been taken. Zhang Hao received the ball with his side facing Ewing, and was about to turn over and shoot a jumper. However, when the opponent pressed up, Zhang Hao suddenly had an idea. He was facing the left sideline, and suddenly  Turning left, Ewing saw Zhang Hao turn around and jumped up to prevent Zhang Hao from turning over and shooting. However, Zhang Hao turned 270 degrees and Ewing jumped directly from Zhang Hao!

    At the end of his turn, Zhang Hao took a half-step with his right foot, took off, and took a mid-range shot

    Flexible turning and crossing the steps just stabilized the figure, smooth starting shot  hit the hit!

    It¡¯s so difficult!  If he had really turned over and made a jump shot just now, he would have beensp; Just as Kenny Anderson walked back to the bench, ready to listen to what the coach said and adjust his brain, he heard Zhang Hao next to him saying: "Boss Kenny, just play according to the way we played together before.  That¡¯s it, don¡¯t worry, if you really don¡¯t have a chance, just throw it to me like you just did.¡±

    Kenny Anderson raised his head and looked at Zhang Hao's calm face. At this moment, Kenny Anderson felt inexplicably so at ease.

    Taking a deep breath, Kenny Anderson smiled: "Can I believe in the light?"

    Zhang Hao thought of the end of the preseason when Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company began to promote the promotional video for "Ultraman X" that will be broadcast in the midnight slot of American cable TV stations and the afternoon slot of Time Warner Cable Sports in Los Angeles.  , a clip that is considered to be a hit, is the video of Zhang saying this before the final shot in the game and his own voice dubbing

    The setting of Ultraman X's human body is that of the Lakers' young star X-Zhang NBA officials and the Lakers have licensed a series of uses of this background for free in order to promote the Chinese and Asian markets.  right.

    Zhang Hao showed a rare change in expression, shrugged, and responded in an indifferent tone: "Of course."

    On the other side, Del Harris was preparing to take advantage of the official timeout to remind Kenny Anderson that his mentality was not right. He also saw that Kenny Anderson was under too much pressure. Kenny Anderson was trying to find a way to  His teammates did a good job in using their characteristics, but obviously this was not enough to deal with the Knicks' defense, because the key point of holding the ball, that is, Kenny Anderson's own characteristics did not come out, like in the second round.  Such a beautiful breakthrough in the positional battle attack has never been seen again.

    Of course, there will be no identical opportunities later, but Kenny Anderson did not try to recreate similar simple and direct opportunities later.

    However, before Del Harris started the operation, he saw Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson chatting for a few words, and then, the anxiety written on Kenny Anderson's face disappeared

    "What a damn kid! You're taking my job again!"

    At this moment, Del Harris is in a full sense of crisis!

    By the way, there is still a job to be done. Barkley's side needs to be motivated. Del Harris quickly wants to find Barkley, at least to get a job.

    Then, he discovered that someone was faster than him!

    And, it¡¯s still that dead kid!

    Del Harris was already only one meter away from Barkley. Seeing Zhang Hao moving in front of him like lightning, he said to Barkley: "Mr. Barkley, have you regressed to the point where you can't deal with that aunt?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 205 205. There is something wrong with this script!

    "Yes, yes, I understand, boss"

    Does Charles Barkley know what Zhang Hao wants to say?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? isn't the type who has such high emotional intelligence that he earns more as a commentator after retiring than when he played, so he naturally understands what Zhang Hao means.

    But this sentence is indeed a bit excessive. Are you angry with Zhang Hao?  No, no, no, he also pointed at Zhang Hao, O'Neal, Kenny Anderson, and Magic to lead him to the championship.

    Then he can only be angry with his fan opposite!

    Barkley and Larry Johnson have a very good relationship. When he entered the NBA, Larry Johnson trained with Barkley many times. His aunt was nicknamed the successor of the Flying Pig because Barkley said that Larry Johnson was the player most like him.  .

    Now, press pause on this friendship!

    Del Harris watched Barkley become serious and felt like he should stay under the bus.

    Although he planned to talk to Barkley and try to make Barkley serious, he couldn't deal with Barkley in just one sentence.

    Picking up the tactical board with tears in his eyes, Del Harris could only comfort himself - with less work, it would be easier, right?

    Quickly resume professional mode, and the team members have gathered around.

    ¡°Tonight the main players will play more minutes than expected, so be prepared.¡± Del Harris first announced the biggest adjustment.

    For NBA games, physical strength is definitely one of the most important mobilization links in tactics.

    Just like the 40-year-old Jordan, Malone, and Stockton in the future, they rely on their superb skills to play a game for about 20 minutes, which is not much different from their peak period, but a game lasts for more than 30 or even 40 minutes.  Next, for the rest of the time, they are just ordinary veterans, even worse than ordinary veterans, because their physical strength is exhausted and their bodies cannot keep up, but their consciousness and playing style are still superstars.

    The Lakers also need to consider this issue, because they still don¡¯t know whether the 34-year-old Barkley can continue to be a superstar this year. Of course, with a salary of more than 4 million, signing Brian Shaw is only good at tactics and very good in other aspects.  A mediocre playmaker who can only be said to be not bad costs 4 million. Even if Barkley only performs as a superstar for more than 20 minutes, it is still worth it.

    The tone was set, Del Harris said: "We cannot play this game with the mentality of playing in the regular season. I believe you can also see that our opponents are opponents who may encounter in the finals. They just have the mentality of playing in the regular season."  Such thoughts are at war with us.

    Erwin, you are ready to play at any time. There may be tactical changes at any time. Kenny, Akers, Charles, you continue to play Jerome, you go to guard Big Mom, Derek, you go You dribble halfway  The court allows Kenny to take a rest and defend the mid-range shooter on the defensive end.

    Ewing on the opposite side should be replaced, Childs may be replaced by Starks, Akers, you should guard him.

    Kenny, Charles, Akers, use their individual abilities more when attacking, just like the opponent. Remember, this is the same game as the playoffs. We must start this three-game away trip with victory.  "

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the Knicks made personnel adjustments, including the lineup of Charlie Ward, John Starks, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, and Buck Williams.

    The Lakers sent a lineup of Kenny Anderson, Fisher, Jerome Kersey, Barkley, and Zhang Hao to play.

    On the opposite side, Charlie Ward's offense was stretched to the extreme, only 55. He averaged 3.9 points per game last season. He has good passing ability, 83 passing ability, and good awareness, but his defense is quite good for a player with a 66 ability rating.  , with a defense as high as 83. After his sophomore season last season, he averaged 3.9 points and 2 assists per game. Thanks to his defense, he got a three-year contract worth 3.16 million U.S. dollars. In this year, it is equivalent to about six to  Seventy percent are middle class.

    Starks, a substitute with an 81 ability rating, is very coquettish.

    Buck Williams, a short center with a height of 203 cm. Although he is almost 37 years old, he has a defense of 83. He has always been praised for his enthusiasm and defensive skills. He is a multiple-time All-Defensive Team winner and the Nets NBA team.  The best player in history, Zhang Hao thought they should introduce a player, but the other party chose New York instead of Los Angeles.

    The Knicks¡¯ 4-to-1 defensive lineup is still strong!

    Regarding the rotation of their own Lakers lineup, Zhang Hao did not expect that Fisher, a rookie, and veteran Kersi would come on the field.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?

    After receiving the ball, Kenny Anderson dribbled the ball and waited for Barkley to get into position. Zhang Hao quickly pulled away.

    However, the Knicks seemed to have expected that Barkley would take the initiative to ask Kenny Anderson to defend the opponent.??It's a pity that the opposite Lakers team played so well, but Zhang Hao seemed to be invisible!

    Throughout the entire half, I didn¡¯t see Zhang Hao actively requesting or playing singles. It¡¯s hard to say whether the time he touched the ball, including the counterattack, was even 1 minute.

    It seems that, as the media said, after the Lakers recruited so many stars in one summer, Zhang Hao's tactical status in the Lakers has declined, his performance opportunities have decreased, and his growth may be affected by several new stars.

    Sure enough, Zhang Hao feels like he has become a purely supporting role

    In this regard, the fans at the scene and the Lakers fans and Zhang Hao fans in front of the TV were very unhappy.

    but¡­¡­

    After halftime, when the big screen and live TV screen posted the best players of the two teams in terms of scores, rebounds, and assists in the first half, the fans were surprised to find that Zhang Hao scored 13 points in the half!

    With 6 of 11 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, Zhang Hao actually took 11 shots in the half!

    At this time, some fans remembered that there was a point in the Lakers' style of play that they had not noticed before, but they noticed it now - no matter who on the Lakers had the ball last, as long as the opportunity was really bad and time was running out,  Just throw them all to Zhang Hao.

    He scored 7 points in the first quarter and 6 points in 9 minutes in the second quarter. Zhang Hao played 21 minutes in the half and scored the highest!  That¡¯s higher than Barkley¡¯s 10 points and Larry Johnson¡¯s 12 points!

    ¡­¡­

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Give up singles opportunities, reduce proactive catching and restraint, so as to make more contributions on the defensive end Zhang Hao has very clear goals for his style of play in the new season.

    He plays to win, statistics and so on The most important thing is to win. Winning, 5 destiny, winning is more enjoyable than losing with good statistics, twice as happy, not as greedy to take shots but may cause new people to come.  Are star players more dissatisfied?

    Not only winning in the regular season, Zhang Hao really hopes to win in the playoffs. With his current strength being the same, he chooses to seize opportunities that his teammates think are not good and work hard defensively to find opportunities.  When given the opportunity to counterattack, he really did just that.

    He wants Barkley and O'Neal to play happily, and he wants to set an example for other teammates, so that everyone can make choices together to win.

    However, after halftime, he saw that he had the highest number of shots and the highest score among all players in the game, with 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks He also fell into deep thought.

    Such an attack is really not tiring!  The size advantage is huge!  When O'Neal can't play, he is the tallest one on the Lakers. Ewing is not present on the opposite side, so he is the tallest one in the game.

    But, this is different from the script he had in mind!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 206 206. What can I do?

    "There are so many pots to take when splitting the ball in singles! Is this why O'Neal has to match Kobe, Turtle has to carry a schoolbag, and Green has to drag Curry?"

    Although it was unexpected, Zhang Hao felt very happy - it wasn't me who took the initiative!  As everyone has seen, it is an accident that the score is so high, and my style of play is very effective. Boss Kenny and the second fat man who is willing to play hard can play more resolutely without worries, that is, when there is a blame to dump  ¡­

    "Playing with superstars requires someone like me who is willing to contribute silently."

    Zhang Hao felt helpless. A team always needs someone to take the blame. He was the only one to take the blame. What should he do? He felt helpless and wanted to laugh out loud. He quickly suppressed it and kept an indifferent face.

    After returning to the locker room, Del Harris looked at what was written in the notebook - playoff-level competition, singles tactics, dead child final point, effect A.

    This evaluation is very high. The O'Neal singles tactics written in his little notebook are also A.

    Effect a is a team play with only O'Neal, and a+ is still empty for the time being.

    In the first game of the season, he unexpectedly came up with a style of play that was effective enough to reach an A-level. Del Harris was in a good mood.

    Although the team tactics are almost completely ineffective against the Knicks, it doesn't matter. The same is true for the opponent. Everyone is considered a new team. Most of the players have been replaced. The next step is to rely on the stars.

    In terms of a style of play that also relies on stars, although the Knicks' stars are no worse than the Lakers' Kenny Anderson, Barkley, and Doug Christie in singles.

    But there are two points. The Lakers are stronger.

    The first is the rush for offensive rebounds. Barkley, Jason Williams, and George Lynch are always on the court, and they grab offensive rebounds very well.

    The second one is Zhang Hao

    Zhang Hao, who has entered his second season, has improved his shooting accuracy compared to his rookie year. Obviously, the top level is not his limit and he is still growing. Moreover, his shooting speed has become significantly faster, his catching is more stable, and his shooting is difficult to be interfered with.  His abilities have become stronger again To put it simply, he has grown taller again Judging from the registration information for the new season, his hands have grown longer.

    But it can also be seen that Zhang Hao has made better use of his physical condition.

    This kind of thing sounds simple to say, but there are many players in the NBA who can't even make good use of their physical fitness. In fact, this matter has never been simple. It requires talent. Some people can't learn it in a lifetime.

    Once the advantage has been achieved, continue. During the halftime break, Del Harris made targeted adjustments so that the star players' singles tactics can be used better. As for tactical matters, occasionally one can be played one by one, and in the future  Say it again.

    After the start of the second half, the Lakers played more resolutely, and the receiving players did a better job in details than in the first half.

    The Knicks also made adjustments. It seemed that Zhang Hao's style of play inspired Van Gundy, and Van Gundy began to let Alan Houston play in a style similar to Zhang Hao's.

    But in the same way of taking over the pot, Zhang Hao did better than Alan Houston!

    First of all, Alan Houston has never played like this. He can hold the ball. Sometimes the Pistons' tactics are based around him. The Knicks' original tactics were the same, using him as a containment and the first point of attack.  , create opportunities for others or create opportunities for him, the tactics are similar to the Pacers' tactics.

    Also, if you really have to take the blame, even if Alan Houston is worse than Zhang Hao as a regular mid-range shooter and a better three-pointer than Zhang Hao, but when you take the shot, it may not be the best shooting opportunity. In this case, Alan Houston is not as good as Zhang Hao. If Zhang Hao lifts the ball, it is almost impossible for the Knicks to block it!

    In singles inside, Barkley is stronger than either Ewing or Larry Johnson. In singles outside, Kenny Anderson is stronger than either Starks or Childs. Barkley's physical strength is better than that of the Lakers.  Zhang Hao, who was expected to be better and was killed in singles, was better than Alan Houston in both his ability to catch the ball and his ability to throw the ball. In the third quarter, the two teams' defense reached its peak.  , the gap in strength became apparent.

    In the third quarter, the Lakers scored 24-15 to make the score 69-54, leading by 15 points entering the final quarter!

    In the end, after the two teams scored 18-21 in the final quarter, the Lakers defeated the Knicks 87-75 and won the defensive battle!

    Zhang Hao played for 40 minutes, making 12 of 21 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks!

    Throughout the game, everything Zhang Hao did seemed simple, and his support seemed even less than last season. Just one start?Pause and counterattack directly!

    In 4 seconds, Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound from the basket and rushed to the frontcourt to complete the dunk. The speed at which Zhang Hao rushed was completely different from playing 17 minutes in the first half and the entire second half!

    "Behead (Gold)" is triggered!

    As the Raptors missed Damon Stoudemire's three-point shot after a timeout, the Lakers relied on Barkley's offensive rebound 2+1 at the last moment and Zhang Hao's key defensive counterattack.  A buzzer-beating dunk led to a 5-0 run, and the Lakers narrowly defeated the Raptors 121-120!

    Damon Stoudemire scored 38 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists tonight, the first triple-double of his career. His performance couldn't be better than 14 of 27 shots, but he still lost to the guy opposite!

    In the first half, he obviously only made 3 of 7 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 9 points. In the third quarter, he only had 6 points. However, he played 29 minutes in the first three quarters.  After falling, it surged in the final quarter, scoring 15 points in a single quarter and even hitting a quasi-winner!

    Zhang Hao gave his opponents the feeling that he played harder in the last quarter than in the first three quarters!

    Especially in the last attack, as one of the two fastest players in the league, Damon Stoudemire was completely unable to catch up when he chased out. He watched helplessly as Zhang Hao completed that brutal fast break dunk.

    Damon Stoudemire looked at his triple-double and wondered what he was doing tonight

    Compared with Damon Stoudemire's confusion when he lost the game in the last 44 seconds, Zhang Hao breathed a huge sigh of relief after the final whistle sounded.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Rodent exterminator:

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to win every time he plays against Damon Stoudemire.

    Task reward: How many consecutive days Zhang Hao will win against Damon Stoudemire, and how many days of life span reward he will receive. If he completes a cross-season winning streak, his final life span will be equal to the number of consecutive wins multiplied by the cross-season length.  (Winning 4 games in a row, spanning two seasons).  "

    For this task, Damon Stoudemire was still in the Raptors, a weak team, and it collapsed at the beginning. What a pity!

    After the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao looked at the bewildered Damon Stoudemire with his last three-pointer. On a whim, he lowered his head and said to Damon Stoudemire: "It seems that you  The retribution is indeed mine."

 Chapter 207 207. Are you missing a biological son?

    The Lakers are so special. They always attract extra attention from fans. For example, in the opening game, the attention before their game started was even higher than that of the defending champion Bulls.

    However, because New York has entered the iron-blooded era of Van Gundy, the game did not look good, and fans did not see anything like tactical coordination. In the second half, the Lakers relied on Barkley to firmly take the initiative, and they locked up in the third quarter.  victory.

    As far as the first game is concerned, the Lakers did not surprise the fans. A big victory is not a big win. They played defense from the beginning of the regular season, and the fans will not feel good about it.

    But in the second game, everyone thought the Lakers would crush the Raptors. After all, the Lakers defeated the Knicks with such a lineup in the first game, so it was not difficult to win.

    However, after the second game that was not broadcast live, the fans were extremely surprised by the score when they saw the game report!  Among them, Damon Stoudemire's 38+10+14 performance was even more shocking. He led the Raptors to lead by 4 points with 44 seconds left.

    Then, Barkley and Zhang Hao teamed up to make a comeback in 44 seconds

    With no one paying attention, the Lakers and Raptors played a vigorous 121-120 offensive battle, and there was a quasi-clinching counterattack dunk to watch.

    Even Lakers fans think their team is toxic!

    After this game, the sympathy of the media and fans for Damon Stoudemire increased by one point.

    For the top 8 picks in the 1995 class, every time they met Zhang Hao, it was quite miserable. However, the two worst people were Joe Johnson. Every time Zhang Hao played for the Warriors, it was like meeting someone who was robbing him of his money.  The other one is Damon Stoudemire. Zhang Hao often works harder when playing against the Raptors than against the Warriors!

    Joe Smith was the No. 1 pick, and Zhang Hao was recognized as the best rookie in the 1995 class. His rookie season performance was among the best in the entire NBA history. He was selected to the first team in his rookie season, but he was underestimated because he was a high school student and did not become the No. 1 pick.  , it is understandable that he would get angry when he saw Joe Smith.

    But Damon Stoudemire, the 7th pick, is not much higher than the 9th pick, and he is far away in the East. They only play against each other twice a year, and there is no playoff competition  ¡­

    But when Zhang Hao met him, he played harder than when he met Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, Antonio McDyess and others in the same position.

    When Damon Stoudemire saw the news saying he was miserable, and thought that the paralyzed man actually said that to him after the game, he himself felt that "miserable" was written in capital letters above his head.

    Large triple pairs become the background!

    The most critical point is that Damon Stoudemire couldn't figure out that he wanted to express himself in front of Zhang Hao because Zhang Hao was recognized as the best player in the 1995 class.

    But why does Zhang Hao risk his life every time he hits him?

    And Zhang Hao was not that excited about defeating the five-star Knicks. When he beat him, he actually took the initiative to talk trash after the game I can't figure it out!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Godfather, do you feel pressure playing with Barkley, O'Neal, and Magic?"

    "No, it's too easy to play with them. I can just shoot. Why should I feel pressured?"

    "Oh, just shoot the ball"

    The morning after the game against the Raptors, the Lakers came to Charlotte from the ice and snow in Toronto as if they were fleeing.

    At noon, Zhang Hao invited Curry to have lunch at the restaurant of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel where the Lakers were staying. He originally wanted to invite Dell Curry to come with him, but the Hornets had a miserable start with four games in five days.  We defeated the Magic and Hawks on the 1st and 2nd. We went to Miami yesterday, played the Heat today, and the Lakers tomorrow. We were not at home, so we only called on Curry.

    Thinking back to this time a year ago, little Curry would always say "X" when he went out, and he was ashamed to call his godfather. Now, the more people there are, the more energetic this kid will shout, as if he is afraid that others will not know.

    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they didn¡¯t look alike, God would probably have removed them.

    Seeing the other party shouting so joyfully, Zhang Hao was in a great mood and took out the gift he had prepared: "I forgot to give you a gift when you turned 8 years old. I was too busy in the summer, so here is it for you."

    When Little Curry saw the packaging box, he became excited, Motorola!

    When I opened it, it turned out to be Motorola¡¯s latest flip phone!

    ?Compared with the previous Big Brother, Motorola lowered the price to a quarter, starting at $1,000. In just a few months, sales exceeded 10 million.

    But $1,000 is still relatively expensive for most people. Anyway, Curry can¡¯t afford it with his pocket money. Dell Curry¡¯s $6.6 million in five yearsFollowing his playing style in the first two games, he moved honestly.

    However, tonight, Zhang Hao felt a little troublesome when encountering Clifford Robinson's defense.

    Height 208 centimeters, weight 102 kilograms, enough speed, sticky defense, excellent wingspan Zhang Hao doesn't like to meet such an opponent the most.

    After the Lakers¡¯ two games, their strategy deviated from what they had envisioned in the preseason. They no longer started with a team offense, but started with a star tactic, that is, Kenny Anderson¡¯s singles.

    But when he broke in, Kenny Anderson found that it seemed difficult for Zhang Hao to catch the ball, but there was no good chance for him to break in, so he withdrew and faced Boggs' defense and pulled out directly.  Take a three-point shot

    Boggs is not very good defensively, and is not very good at preventing breakthroughs, but he has an advantage - he is very stable in the bottom plate and is very good at defending the opponent's pitcher. Kenny Anderson's take-off this time was obviously insufficient!

    Anthony Mason Jr. protected the defensive rebound, hugged it, and did not give Barkley, who almost grabbed the offensive rebound, a chance to steal. Then he slowly advanced past half court and handed it to Bogues.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if he didn¡¯t score, the important thing is defense. Zhang Hao clapped his hands and made a gesture of shrinking defense.

    After Boggs began to break through, Zhang Hao, Barkley, George Lynch, and Kenny Anderson shrank to the area around the three-second zone. Barkley and Doug Christie formed a pincer attack on Boggs, and the middle was blocked. Boggs  Gus passed to Glen Rice on the weak side and had no room, and was sandwiched by two players who were much taller than himbut he still found the space to pass the ball. Clifford Robinson ran to the sideline and received the ball.  Pass the ball to Boggs and take a symbolic defensive three-pointer from Kenny Anderson

    In!

    5 to 2!

    No one has this kind of touch. It feels so good at the beginning. It is a big blow to the Lakers' strategy of shrinking defense.

    Especially after watching the game report this morning when the Hornets played the Heat in an away game yesterday, the Heat shrunk their defense and used three-pointers to make the opponent stupid, and the pressure was even greater!

    Attack first. Kenny Anderson tried a strong shot in the last round. The opponent defended well and did a good job of resisting the bottom set, so he could only score sudden points.

    After directing the positioning of his teammates and getting the space Kenny Anderson wanted, Kenny Anderson broke through. There was nothing Boggs could do. There was absolutely no way. The opponent could slap the ball over his shoulder.

    After attracting a double attack, Boggs passed the ball to the vacated George Lynch. At this time, Zhang Hao led Clifford Robinson into the basket. In addition to attracting Matt Geiger's cover, George Lynch also  Clifford Robinson, who brought Zhang Hao in, attracted him. George Lynch jumped up and passed the ball from the front. Zhang Hao received the ball behind the opponent's two big insiders and put the basket successfully!

    Very beautiful use of height advantage!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 208 208. The attack begins again

    Just like in the future, Durant will have a field goal percentage of 50% when playing against James and Leonard, but he will always be a pain in the face when encountering Prince and Tony Allen, and the shooting percentage will be almost lower than when playing against other defensive masters.  5 percentage points are the same. When Zhang Hao met Clifford Robinson, he felt restrained.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s running and catching style is afraid of two types of players.

    ? One is to follow closely and prevent him from turning over when catching the ball or guarding him from the powerful moment when he picks up the ball after receiving the ball.

    The other type is a player like Clifford Robinson who has excellent height and wingspan, strong ability to interfere with passing and receiving, and strong defensive awareness to be selected for the All-Defensive Team, and never slack off.

    However, with last year¡¯s experience, Zhang Hao has a very clear countermeasure today - taking advantage of his body shape.

    Barkley's sure cutback is definitely the main defensive target of the Hornets, so Kenny Anderson is difficult to shoot when faced with a weight-type defense on the outside. He rushes to the mid-range and short range and has the opponent's two major help defense capabilities, which interfere with shooting.  He is a very capable double-best defense level defense. The mid- and long-distance passing routes between Zhang and Kenny Anderson are basically blocked, and Doug Christie has no running ability. Then, opportunities will naturally arise.  Here is George Lynch.

    But George Lynch is straightforward, and Matt Geiger is not very good at protecting the frame, so he will definitely cause a lot of interference. This is why George Lynch was not used as the main attack point from the beginning.

    Now that he is going to use George Lynch as the main attack point, Zhang Hao takes the initiative to move to the basket and use his size advantage to create better passing opportunities for George Lynch.

    No, it was a success!  George Lynch received the ball and passed to Barkley, who was released by Matt Geiger. He may have made a mistake, but the pass to Zhang Hao, who had a front-facing view, was perfect.

    And Zhang Hao¡¯s more initiative on the offensive end surprised the Hornets players

    Putting this aside for now, the Hornets focus on the next offense.

    Zhang Hao retreated quickly after scoring a goal, not because he was afraid of the opponent's counterattack, but because the opponent was more afraid that he would not score in the counterattack and would be counterattacked by the Lakers.

    After Zhang Hao retreated, he directed his teammates to make defensive adjustments. Barkley rolled his eyes, but still responded.

    Others have no opinions.

    After Anthony Mason Jr. advanced to the frontcourt and handed it over to Bogues, he was surprised when he saw the Lakers' defense in position, and immediately drilled inside.

    When Boggs arrived in the frontcourt, he was surprised. Looking at the defensive player who was one step inside the three-point line Boggs wanted to jump up and hit the opponent's knee!

    It¡¯s not that Barkley is very strenuous when he sticks to Matt Geiger. On the contrary, Matt Geiger encounters a stronger player. He obviously has a height advantage but can¡¯t get close to the basket, which is very frustrating.

    "It's not too much to let a 34-year-old veteran guard a center, but" He sneered. Looking at the huge size difference between Zhang Hao and Burgess, Barkley felt magical

    Which team¡¯s tallest player would guard the league¡¯s shortest player?

    Only this gentleman with a brilliant mind would do this!

    Boggs begins to break through!

    Is Boggs¡¯ finishing ability strong?

    No, it¡¯s not strong at all. As long as it¡¯s flanked, there¡¯s absolutely no chance that Boggs will make a shot.

    But his technique is not good?  No, Bogues' skills are no worse than those of Jordan, Bird and others. He has a wide shooting range and strong stability. In his peak period, he averaged 10.8 points and 10.1 assists per game with a 47% field goal percentage.

    It¡¯s just that with a height of 160 centimeters, if there is a double attack, even if it is two players with poor defense, he has nothing to do. The opponent only needs one person to block the change of direction and one person to cover the shooting space, and everything will be fine.

    What¡¯s great about him is that he has such a tall height, excellent vision, excellent judgment on the movement routes of his teammates and opponents, and has an excellent overall view. As long as he attracts a flanking attack, he can create good creations for his teammates.  Opportunity to score or pass.

    This time, Boggs broke through Zhang Hao easily, but no one came to flank him!

    Because although Zhang Hao was a beat slower, he took one step from inside the three-point line to the space at close range. He relied on the huge size difference to completely cover Bogues' shooting space!

    "An opponent with Zhang Hao's height and wingspan, even if he only weighs just over 100 kilograms, would never be as fast as Zhang Hao!

    Unable to attract a flanker from a farther position, Boggs pulled out, suppressing his fear of Zhang Hao's bug-like physical condition. After Boggs came out, he passed the ball to Clifford Robinson.

    Clifford Robinson wanted to rely on his height and wingspan to make a long shot, but Doug Christie¡¯s defense was tougher than he expected, and there was no space for him to take off and make a long shot.Yes, this means that the Hornets can always allow the main lineup to play longer and maintain greater stability.

    ??The Lakers rotate more often, and there will always be times when the offense and defense are not well connected. Therefore, the Hornets can always have an advantage at a certain stage.

    However, whenever the Hornets open the point difference to seven or eight points, the Lakers can always catch up.

    At the end of the first half, Zhang Hao played 21 minutes and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. Kenny Anderson had 12 points and 6 assists, plus Jason Williams' 11 points. The three of them  Scored in double figures and scored 56 points.

    ??The Hornets relied on Glenn Rice¡¯s 16 points, Dell Curry¡¯s 11 points, and Anthony Mason Jr.¡¯s 12 points to score 58 points.

    The Lakers trailed 56 to 58 at halftime, and the score continued to bite.

    ¡­¡­

    Back in the locker room, although they scored a game-high 18 points and accidentally took the most shots and scored the most points, this anxious score made Zhang Hao very uncomfortable - they were always unable to combine their theoretical strongest strength.  show out.

    Forget it, the key is that after returning to the locker room, he found that head coach Del Harris glanced at him from time to time. When he turned around, he seemed to be hesitating for something.

    This is a bad sign!

    Whenever this old fox shows such an expression, it¡¯s when he wants to cause trouble!

    Sure enough, after a few minutes of rest, when Del Harris was making tactical arrangements, he once again abandoned the pre-match play style

    "In the second half, we will play defense, Aix, Kenny, you will be the main attacker, Doug, George, Jerome, Jason, Derekyou will be ready to play at any time"

    This strategic change was extremely sudden. After the game against the Knicks, they had agreed in the team meeting that they would work together well.

    But when it came to the game, it was fine against the Raptors, but when it came to playing against the Hornets, they met Anthony Mason Jr. and Clifford Robinson, two insiders who had a chance to be selected for the best defensive team, and they played very poorly.

    ¡°As soon as Del Harris encountered a problem, he immediately gave up the idea of ??continuing to work together

    But if they don¡¯t change, their current level of integration will not allow them to play better on the offensive end.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s idea is to try to keep grinding like this, no matter what happens at the last critical moment, but the old fox has to make big adjustments every time!

    "Akers, this is trust," the magician said: "I think it may be really difficult for us to fully get along. Maybe it will never work. When Charles arrived in the game, his style of play was not what the coaching staff thought at the beginning.  It's different, maybe it will be the same after Shaq comes back, but it doesn't matter, we can still win, we still have you and Kenny, right"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away. Do you mean to try your best to run in, give up if you can¡¯t run in well, and then rely on stars to win?

    Seemingly seeing Zhang Hao's doubts, the magician smiled and said: "Don't worry so much, you just think too much. No matter whether the tactics are well adjusted or not, winning is the most important thing. Moreover, the tactics are not adjusted well."  , the cooperation we have prepared and practiced for so long has not worked, we can adjust! Our goal is to win, not to play tactics"

    With the magician¡¯s words, Zhang Hao could not be said to have suddenly come to his senses, but could also be said to have become enlightened.

    Indeed, he seems to be a little too concerned about whether he is playing tactics

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but he also wants to understand why he feels that the magician also wants to be lazy eh?  Why add one?

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 209 209. New - One trick that can be eaten all over the world!

    Zhang Hao feels that there is a reason why Magic wants to be lazy, because if it is playing tactics, Magic must bear a lot of heavy responsibilities, and he is almost the one who has the most work except Kenny Anderson.

    Because after adjustments in the training camp and preseason, Zhang Hao's position in the tactics has become a simple ending point.

    He said to Curry that it would be good to play games and shoot with this group of people. He was not just saying it casually, but he really hoped that could be the case.

    Just shoot the ball, how happy it is!

    But the reality gave him a surprise - except for Kenny, the boss who worked hard, the other two of the three bosses who could play were all fishing!

    ?A careful analysis shows that if O'Neal was not injured, there is a high probability that he would have fished!

    Zhang Hao brainstormed for a while and chose to accept his fate.

    What else can be done?

    Let¡¯s fight!

    ??Also, after what the magician said, Zhang Hao found that he was indeed too obsessed with tactics, wanted to see his team's talents fully utilized, and looked forward to seeing the invincible situation he imagined.

    But the reality is that stars can complement each other, but they can also limit each other.

    Whether they complement each other or restrict each other, these are actually extreme situations, and most of the time they are just accommodations.

    The experienced Magicians knew early on that there was a high probability that they would not have the chance to become a team with nearly perfect coordination like last season. It was even unlikely that they would have a record as good as 65 wins in the regular season. Their new combination was not Pioneer.  Peng + Jordan + Rodman are such a perfect combination of superstars, but a combination of stars with many overlapping characteristics.

    Of course, the magician definitely hopes to see that the coordination can be as good as possible, so he is also very serious when training. Even if the coordination cannot be as imagined, he can find more points of fit and create more small-scale coordination.  ,Not bad.

    But for the first time, Zhang Hao has such dreamy teammates, and he played so well as a team last season, so he is naturally looking forward to the new season from the best perspective.

    Now that the beautiful fantasy has been shattered, Zhang Hao is a little depressed, but look at Barkley, Kenny Anderson, and O'Neal, who thinks about returning to Los Angeles to rest after playing the Knicks

    "If you play with star tactics, just play with star tactics! We have so many stars!"

    "And we haven't even played a simple coordination with O'Neal as the tactical protagonist"

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao became happy.

    The situation of the Hornets is very good, but according to Larry Johnson's normal value, it may be more expensive than the current Hornets' entire inside group. If the Hornets trade their entire current inside group with the Knicks, they can't get it back.  Lee Johnson.

    In terms of regular performance, it is true that the current Hornets are much stronger than last season, but with players like Larry Johnson, it is possible to raise the upper limit of the team's strength and create miracles in the game.

    Ask Zhang Hao to choose his teammates from last season or his current teammates. Although he liked last season's team very much, if he had been asked to choose just after last season, he would have chosen last season's lineup without hesitation. Let's work hard to improve together.  But now, I have experienced Barkley's strength when he played the Knicks, and I have experienced Kenny Anderson's more stable performance than Van Exel.

    Multiple choice questions are sometimes very simple

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers found the Hornets difficult to deal with, and the Hornets were also very nervous.

    However, the players of the Hornets are very confident now. They can see that although the Lakers on the opposite side look strong they are actually very powerful, but their performance is not better than that of the Hornets!  They have a chance to win. If they cooperate better, they will take the initiative in the game!

    Back in the second half, the Hornets sent out a combination of Bogues, Dell Curry, Glenn Rice, Anthony Mason Jr. and Matt Geiger.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Derek Fisher, George Lynch, Jerome Kersey and Zhang Hao.

    The Hornets attacked first. Boggs advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that Zhang Hao was not guarding him, he decisively singled out Kenny Anderson. After breaking through to the basket, he was flanked by Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao's double-attack action was not to cause Burgess to make a mistake or have to block the shot, but to cover the space under the basket. Matt Geiger judged that the ball could not be received under the basket, and he pulled it out as expected, and Burgess distributed the ball  ¡­

    Matt Geiger¡¯s position was one step inside the free throw line. Within the three-second zone, he could shoot. He would immediately hit the mid-range shot after receiving the ball, without giving Zhang Hao a chance to make up for it It¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t score.

    Interfering with sub-level threats, directly and easily scoring points, trying to strangle them,When the Hornets blindly pursue the pick-and-roll and directly shoot three-pointers after catching the ball, if they really shoot accurately, there is really nothing anyone can do.

    But the Lakers were lucky. The Hornets didn't feel amazing tonight. From the last minute of the third quarter to the official timeout of the fourth quarter, in less than 8 minutes, the Hornets threw 13 three-pointers.  They made 4 of 13 shots and scored 12 points, which can only be said to be barely adequate. In addition to scoring three-pointers, the Hornets only scored two points through free throws and only scored one goal in sports games when cutting inside. They did not make any three-pointers.  , he kept throwing three-pointers again, but he ruined his previous good driving and cutting play!

    The reason why the Hornets were able to score and cut so well in the past was due to the threat of outside shooting!

    The Hornets scored 16 points in less than 8 minutes, which was not bad. However, after Zhang Hao regained his strength, the Lakers launched a ferocious attack at the beginning of the third quarter. Moreover, most of the points were scored by Zhang Hao himself.  The kind that makes Buckley salivate when he wants to eat cake!

    In 7 minutes and 44 seconds, the Lakers scored 23 points and went on a 23-16 run. By the time of the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the Lakers' lead expanded to 17 points, leading 112-95!

    Zhang Hao felt why Durant often shot 9 of 12 in the first half and 3 of 10 in the second half. His style of play was simple and rough, but in fact it consumed a lot of money.

    Entering the official timeout, Zhang Hao received instructions from Del Harris when he returned to the bench. He did not need to play anymore, and he did not force him to play. He sat down and summarized the analysis.

    "Why don't we focus on developing more ball-holding skills when our off-ball play is sufficient? We still have to improve ball control first, but the strengthening of independent offense can now be ranked before continuing to strengthen off-ball offense  "

    This idea is based on the fact that the off-ball play has been greatly strengthened in the summer.

    After the official timeout, Zhang Hao was replaced. Del Harris sent Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Jerome Kersey, and Jason Williams to play defense.  Consume slowly.

    After the Hornets threw a three-pointer wildly, they were at the end of their game and couldn't hold on any longer. If they played normally, they might still be able to hold on, but when faced with Zhang Hao's abnormal situation of defending alone, the Hornets also played abnormally.  The impact of the final game of 4 games in 5 days was exposed when he threw 13 three-pointers in half a quarter!

    The Lakers scored 11-4 in the last 5 minutes or so. In the end, the score was fixed at 123-99, and the Lakers defeated the Hornets.

    Relying on the help of his teammates to score 18 points in the first half and 23 points in the second half, Zhang Hao also led his teammates to attack. Zhang Hao scored 41 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, helping the Lakers win three consecutive away games in the opening game!

 Chapter 210 210. New genre - rogue style!

    On November 6, at noon on the second day of the game between the Lakers and the Hornets, when the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, Zhang Hao was already on fire!

    After the first 5 games, each team has played at least 3 games.

    The media will divide a season into multiple stages. This year, from the early stage of the season, a "new season opening stage" was divided. When t.n.t proposed this statement, all major media followed it. In this way, every year  There is a point in time when there is no news to write.

    After each team has finished the first three games, the opening stage of the new season has passed, and every team and major star has something to say.

    The defending champion Bulls started no worse than last year. In the first three games, they averaged 106.3 points per game, conceded 92 points per game, and won by 14.3 points. Jordan scored 99 points in the first three games, averaging 33 points per game.  ; Pippen averaged 22 points and 7 assists per game; Rodman averaged 6 points and 15 rebounds per game, still super strong.

    The Hornets played 4 games in the first 5 days, and their performance in the first 3 games was amazing. Although they lost the fourth game, but only looking at the first 3 games, their performance was absolutely surprising.

    The Jazz are also surprising. In previous years, they did not excel in playing against strong teams. This year's regular season has also become stronger, defeating the Spurs, Heat, and Knicks at the beginning.

    The unlucky teams are the Heat and the Knicks. They look really good, but the Knicks are in trouble. They met the Lakers in the opening game and the Jazz in Game 3. They started with 1 win and 2 losses, and the Heat also had a bad start.  Sadly, I had so much fun playing the Pistons in the opening game. I beat the other team hard. Then, I met the Jazz and the rampaging Hornets, with a record of 1 win and 2 losses. Master and apprentice Riley became brothers. Riley and Xiao  Van Gundy's teams are temporarily ranked outside the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

    The Heat and Knicks have 1 win and 2 losses. People can still understand luck. Three games are too few cases. If there are more games, I guess the record will not be too bad. Looking at the lineup, at least 55 wins, Mourning and You  Yin's condition is also very gratifying.

    But it¡¯s really surprising that two of the popular teams have struggled to win from the start until now.

    The Rockets defeated the Bulls in the opening game and were defeated by the Hawks in the second game. In the third game, they returned home to play the Timberwolves. Facing Garnett and Gugliotta, Olajuwon only scored 15 points and 9 rebounds.  , while Garnett scored 20 points and 21 rebounds, Gugliotta scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Drexler made 9 of 13 shots tonight and scored 22 points and 7 assists, and Divac scored 22 points and 7 assists.  With 18 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, it was hard to conceal the defeat!

    To sum up, Olajuwon averaged 20.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.7 blocks in the first three games, which is not bad, but compared with the high-spiritedness that he just won two consecutive championships last season, something seems to be missing.

    There is another reason why the Rockets lost - they sent away Horry, Kenny Smith, and Cassell, and introduced Divac, Kevin Willis, and Matt Bullard.  It has become a lot stronger, but the outside line has been greatly weakened. Although I was lucky enough to find a point guard Matt Maloney who averaged 11 points and 3 assists in the first 3 games in the undrafted game, he is still a lot weaker and needs to be improved.  Make adjustments to your playing style or continue to adjust your lineup.

    ? And the Spurs' three-game losing streak and collapse in the beginning was purely a man-made disaster.

    A summer has passed for David Robinson, but it seems that his foot injury is still not healed. He did not play much in the preseason. In the regular season, he only played 25 minutes per game in the first three games, but his efficiency was very high, averaging 18 points per game.  7.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1 block, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell something is wrong.

    According to local media reports, David Robinson¡¯s foot has not healed all summer, but every time he went to the team doctor for a check-up, the team doctor¡¯s diagnosis was that there was no problem, and he just needed to be cared for. Then he really cared for it all summerand then, still  not good!

    After David Robinson played only 18 minutes in the opening game and was replaced and never played again, leading to the Spurs' disastrous defeat to the Jazz in the opening game, a local hospital in San Antonio went to Los Angeles for joint treatment with the hospital that diagnosed David Robinson.  Consultation - one that neither the Spurs nor David Robinson attended.

    After detailed and careful analysis, we came to a unanimous conclusion - David Robinson's cartilage was overstretched last year, and now it is basically the same as broken. The worst-case scenario is that the tissue near the broken cartilage has become necrotic.

    Then, the hospital where the Spurs team's medical team is located came out to refute the rumors.

    In the end, the news didn¡¯t become popular, so it was left alone.

    When the Lakers' third game of the new season ended the Hornets' three-game winning streak last night, the Lakers "helped" the Spurs suppress the limelight.

    Zhang Hao scored 41 points, becoming the first player to score 40+ points in a single game for two consecutive seasons!

    " Jordan's stability is also outrageous. He scored 32 points in the opening game, 35 points in the second game, and 32 points in the third game. This stable level is even more outrageous. In more than three months, Jordan will be 34 years old.

    Jordan, who scored 99 points in the first three games, and Glenn Rice, who scored 100 points in the first three games, originally had the best individual offensive performance.?There is always an inexplicable sense of intimacy when you get Kidd's star experience card.

    At 6:40 in the evening, after the warm-up, Zhang Hao took the lead out of the player tunnel. Kenny Anderson accepted his fate. He was waiting. When O'Neal came back and took the stage, he didn't have to sit down.

    When playing a home game, the cheers for the home team¡¯s players are getting smaller and smaller when they come out. It¡¯s very jarring, okay?

    After Zhang Hao entered the stage, he was frightened by the opponent he was expecting - the golden retriever Ban Cun Ji De!

    Is this dyeing a golden retriever after turning on the head?

    It was a bit annoying. I was planning to try to see if I could get to know Kidd again, but Zhang Hao chose to give up.

    Zhang Hao chose to reminisce with his old teammates Ceballos and Anthony Pillar. Well, Ceballos spoke enthusiastically alone, the kind of reminiscence that Zhang Hao heard.

    Ceballos is really an extremely open-minded person. He was sent to the Raptors and then to the Suns by the Raptors in the offseason. He is still full of enthusiasm for the game.

    Anthony Pillar is full of resentment towards the Lakers. His career with the Lakers has been very tortuous. He finally helped the Lakers win 65 games as the main force, and he was almost a full attendance member. He was a full participant in the 65 wins. But he said  Being traded is being traded.

    Regarding this situation, Zhang Hao has nothing to say. Fortunately, he is not a flowery person, so it doesn't seem strange.

    But the Suns don't have Nash Zhang Hao still feels regretful that he can't see Nash playing as a substitute for Kidd. After the Trail Blazers got the 13th overall pick from the Hornets, they selected Nash. Those who watched the news yesterday  At that time, Zhang Hao paid special attention to Nash and finally found one from the rookie column - the last lottery pick averaged 8 minutes per game at the beginning.

    Nash was still very depressed in his rookie season, but this is one of the reasons why Nash's blockbuster success in the future will be so surprising.

    Although the Suns traded Barkley at a loss, it was much better than losing Barkley in vain. With the three chips of Barkley, AC Green, and Michael Finley, they got back a lot of good things!

    Zhang Hao is analyzing the ability evaluation of the opponent's players, combined with the scouting report to analyze how the opponent will play tonight, what is the chance of winning, etc. Kenny Anderson is very excited. He feels that although the road ahead is still very difficult, Zhang Hao has begun to work hard.  Get up, are the others still far away?

    Kenny Anderson saw the hope of the All-Stars working hard one by one! ©d(?¡ã?¡ã?)??

 Chapter 211 211. Industry Conscience

    It¡¯s still comfortable to play the game at this time!

    At 7 p.m., Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, and Barkley started the game.

    The Suns sent out a starting lineup of Kidd, Kevin Johnson, Ceballos, Mark Bryant, and Holt Williams.

    After the game started, Zhang Hao helped the Lakers win the jump ball. Barkley quickly came down to receive a long pass from Kenny Anderson and beautifully slid down the baseline and turned around for a layup.

    With that quick speed, the three quick steps after grabbing the ball, and the bounce speed when taking off, you really can¡¯t tell that he is a short insider who is nearly 34 years old.

    During the transition between offense and defense, Kidd dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

    Originally, Kidd kept adjusting his mentality before the game, fearing that he would get angry when he met Zhang Hao. Last season, he was anxious and angry every time he met Zhang Hao. He was not good at dealing with Zhang Hao.  The defensive players, in the end, kept their heads down and lost worse than the last time.

    But unexpectedly, when the game came, he found that he was not that angry with Zhang Hao, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he and Zhang Hao had not even spoken a word, and he himself did not understand why he was so hostile to Zhang Hao last season.

    As a result, he is very calm now. Seeing Zhang Hao take a big step back from the top arc, Kidd feels that Zhang Hao's defensive choice is very smart.

    However, he also saw the flaws of the Lakers

    At the top arc, Kidd passed the ball quickly through the ball. Holt Williams received the ball on the left side of the free throw line and passed it to the baseline. Ceballos squeezed out George Lynch and rushed inside for a layup.

    Barkley had no choice but to take it in. He could handle the Knicks' Larry Johnson's cut, because Larry Johnson's long-distance movement speed was slow and there was no such bottom-line cut. The Raptors were weak and didn't care. The Hornets  When meeting Clifford Robinson and Anthony Mason Jr., Zhang Hao couldn't defend well if he wasn't on the inside.

    Although Ceballos is not as comprehensive as Clifford Robinson and Anthony Mason Jr., his impact ability is stronger than the two.

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.

    The Suns moved very fast and retreated quickly.

    But when Zhang Hao arrived in the frontcourt, he found that the opponent's defense was full of holes!  Wave for the ball!

    Kenny Anderson is so touched, this is the first time in three games!  This was the first time someone took the initiative to ask for the ball at the beginning of the game and quickly gave it away.

    Zhang Hao is a three-point threat. Mark Bryant followed inside the three-point line. When he saw Zhang Hao raise his hand after receiving the ball, he immediately followed him.

    Zhang Hao took the opportunity to step out to the left of Mark Bryant. Facing Mark Bryant who was trying to move laterally, he didn't play any tricks, just shouldered it, and then accelerated to break through!

    Mark Bryant was carried and his turn was blocked. He was a beat slower, turned around again, and couldn't catch up at all!

    Zhang Hao went straight to the basket!

    Ceballos, who was guarding Barkley's cut from the left baseline, had no time to shrink. He directly saw Zhang Hao take two steps to dribble the ball, grab the ball half a step inside the free throw line, and take two steps to the left side of the three-second zone.  He jumped half a step inside, and Holt-Williams, who had no time to react, smashed the ball into the basket

    The visual experience is too exaggerated!  The fans at the scene went crazy!

    Fans at the scene and Ceballos of the Suns all know that Zhang Hao is fast. They have also seen Zhang Hao's performance in the second half against the Hornets on sports programs in the past two days, but only when I saw it with my own eyes did I realize how exaggerated it was!  The visual impact is much stronger than what you see on TV!

    Zhang Hao rarely had such offenses in the past, not even a few times in a season, because last season his ball-handling skills were really average. He only dared to dribble a little bit and catch the ball from the three-point line during fast breaks when no one was guarding him.  There are very few ways to play.

    No one expected that after Zhang Hao dribbled better, his breakthrough with the ball from the outside would be so buggy.

    It was the Suns' offense again. Zhang Hao stopped guarding Kidd this time and retreated to the basket. He stood in the three-second zone and guarded the basket.

    Kidd faced less defensive pressure on the outside and easily created a short-range jumper opportunity for Kevin Johnson. Kevin Johnson seized it and the Suns scored another two points.

    Just like the Suns' first three games, the Suns' offense at the start of tonight is still sharp!

    Although they don¡¯t have a superstar like Barkley like last season, the Suns¡¯ lower limit of strength has improved a lot this year.

    Ceballos has declined a lot. After he is no longer the team's first choice in offense, he has become a player who purely eats and rushes. He is no longer the All-Star player who led the team forward, but he averages 11 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.  With 9.3 assists and 2.4 steals under the guidance of Kidd, Ceballos' role is still very strong.

    &nbspThe Yangyang team still relied on a wave of impact at the critical moment in the final quarter to seal the victory

    Take a look at teams like the Bulls and Jazz. They made the game lose suspense in a few moments. Jordan, Pippen, and Malone all played 35-6 minutes, and Rodman and Stockton only played 30.  Minutes of playing time;

    Let¡¯s look at the Lakers. Whether they are playing against a hot-starting team like the Hornets, a tough team like the Knicks, or playing against the Suns and Raptors who are not in the playoffs, the Lakers can always fight until the end.  , Zhang Hao's playing time has also increased to 40 minutes in each game. Every game is so anxious, leaving the suspense of the game until the end, giving the fans at the scene a visual enjoyment of the entire game, which can be called the conscience of the industry!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Seeing that the term ¡°industry conscience¡± has become so popular, Zhang Hao was speechless.

    When he wants to be so conscience?

    And he saw a piece of news in the newspaper mocking them for becoming the "Los Angeles Nets Big Three", and he could only silently hold back the tears of grief and anger.

    Who said it best - rappers can't shed tears.

    Also, he saw a comment about their Lakers team in a basketball columnist's section - against the current Lakers, positional warfare and fast-paced offense will be very effective.

    Zhang Hao felt this. The opponent took the initiative to slow down and engage in positional warfare, but they defended better. They defeated the Hornets. One point was that the Hornets themselves did not judge what kind of rhythm was most beneficial.

    There is no way to solve this problem. We have to wait for O'Neal to come back. Since the problem cannot be solved and it is a matter of hard conditions, Zhang Hao chooses to analyze the beneficial things.

    After playing a few more games in the new season, Zhang Hao finally understood the correct way to use "Peter Pan's stamina pool".

    Since you are wearing the Lakers No. 8 jersey, and there is a jersey that absorbs sweat and recharges energy, of course you have to be a defensive engineer and a player who puts shooting first.

    It's not "Just shoot", it's "I just want to shoot" No, it's "I just want to shoot."

    He found that when he played more proactively, Kenny Anderson and Magic would organize the offense more smoothly, because when Barkley was paddling, the only one with top-notch independent offensive ability on the team was Kenny Anderson.  Doug Christie has independent offensive ability, but it is just average. Brian Shaw is the kind of player who has comprehensive abilities, can do everything, is easy to use but is just a panacea for role players, and does not have a strong independent offensive threat

    At this time, a more powerful and active scoring point is needed.

    ¡°It¡¯s unfortunate that with Barkley, he has to do that.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao was so sad that he almost laughed out loud

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 212 212. Arrogant opening

    The Lakers have won 4 consecutive games in the beginning. The topic brought by winning itself is not as attractive as being anxious about the score of no matter who they play.

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, they deserved to win, and losing is news.

    At 12 noon, the NBA officially announced the player of the week for the first game week. Zhang Hao defeated Sri Lanka with an average of 32.2 points per game, a high shooting percentage of 13.3 of 23 shots per game, and a record of 4 wins and 0 losses.  Kurt Pippen and Stockton won the first week of the week.

    And this, before the Lakers played the Suns yesterday, the media predicted that as long as the Lakers beat the Suns, Zhang Hao was determined, because the Bulls and Jazz only had three games in the first week.

    There is a change this year that neither the media nor the fans have noticed.

    If Zhang Hao played a 28+8+4+4 game last season, or another second-year player this season, at least it would be reported separately by the mainstream media, and the fans would also discuss it.

    But this year¡¯s performance this year is no longer enough for people to discuss his personal performance, because he feels that this is the performance he should have. What is more discussed is the topic of the Lakers¡¯ ¡°industry conscience¡±.

    There is news and discussion about winning the Best of the Week, but no one thinks there is any doubt about Zhang Hao winning the Best of the Week.

    Such a change is just like when people saw Jordan get 30+ and the Bulls won. For a player, it is definitely an honor.

    ¡°Anyway, from Garnett¡¯s point of view, this is the treatment he wants.

    When he came to Inglewood and looked at the poster above the door of the Great Western Forum Arena, Garnett felt very sad - back then, when they were selected in the top ten picks, they talked about competing well in the NBA. As a result,  This guy became an All-Star and was selected to the first team early, while Garnett is still taking his time!

    However, this year Garnett also played at an All-Star level!

    Having played 4 games since the beginning, he has averaged 20.2 points, 10 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks per game!

    But compared with Zhang Hao¡¯s starting performance of 32.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.7 blocks per game

    During the draft, the Timberwolves selected Ray Allen in exchange for Marbury, signed the 1988 second-round pick Dean Garrett, and successfully renewed their contracts, leaving Doug West and Sam  -Two veterans from Mitchell

    A series of pretty good operations have given Garnett a lot of confidence, and he is very excited to be in the playoffs since his sophomore year.

    At that time, he chose to temporarily forget about the bug among the players of his generation, namely Zhang Hao.

    However, Zhang Hao seems to be lingering. After his Lakers acquired Barkley, they signed O'Neal and traded for Kenny Anderson

    Throughout the summer, all the basketball news Garnett saw was about the Lakers.

    Although Zhang Hao rarely appeared in public during the offseason, there was also entertainment news about filming TV series

    Garnett admitted that he couldn¡¯t compare to big cities. He had no choice. He looked forward to comparing his personal progress with Zhang Hao. He was confident that with his progress over the summer, he could at least catch up with Zhang Hao in terms of personal ability.

    Then, Zhang Hao scored higher than Jordan in the first three games.

    Simply!

    Yesterday, Garnett came to Los Angeles with the Timberwolves, and last night he secretly watched the Lakers game from a corner of the scene. The Suns' strength displayed during regular time was definitely at the playoff level, but the key fourth  Festival, Zhang Hao stood up and used defense + containment to help the Lakers win

    After staring at Zhang Hao on the far left of the Lakers poster for a long time, Garnett asked Marbury to leave together, have lunch, and play a game in the afternoon.

    Found that Marbury was missing!

    I looked at the big gold watch on my wrist. Didn¡¯t I just stand there for 10 minutes?  Didn't you just stand here for ten or twenty minutes yesterday?  Just leave him as a close teammate and run away?

    Garnett was very depressed, and soon he realized that he had been depressed for a long time

    Marbury, who had just come out of the arena gate a few minutes ago, walked out of the arena gate again, and he was holding a person with him. Although the person had no expression, it was obvious that the person was not very willing to come out.

    Marbury pulled Zhang Hao to the side of Garnett: "Why can't you take a nap after eating a nutritious meal? Come on, let's go have lunch together! Can you even eat the nutritious meal? Is it really what Kevin said, Akers?"  My whole person has changed since I entered the NBA, and I am too indifferent"

    Zhang Hao glanced at Garnett who was saying bad things about him behind his back, glanced at him, and said, "I'm used to it."

    Garnett was a little flustered by Zhang Hao's look. He said bad things about people behind their backs Wait, didn't Garnett just tell the truth?  What else?The "star" seems to have disappeared after Reggie Miller's running rhythm simulation training and Alan Houston's fast shooting learning simulation training were started.

    This sudden appearance actually appeared!

    However, looking at the opening performance data of their other four power forwards from the 1995 class listed in the task, Zhang Hao found that their 95th class power forwards all started well this year.

    Joe Smith is no longer in trouble in his second year. In the first 4 games, he averaged 20 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1.2 blocks per game. He successfully changed from the rich version of Garnett to the poor version of Garnett.

    "Kevin Garnett, 20 years old, 211 cm (?), 106 kg, ability evaluation 85, offense 84, defense 87, three-pointer -, 84 mid-range shot, 91 layup, speed 87, strength 84, jumping 96  , physical strength 95In the first 4 games of the 1996-97 season, he averaged 20.2 points, 10 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks per game"

    Zhang Hao deliberately took another look at Garnett's ability evaluation. With luck, he has a chance to become an All-Star!

    The performance at the beginning has changed from the poor version of the No. 1 Scholar to the luxurious version.

    Antonio McDyess started the game averaging 18 points, 9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks, Rasheed Wallace started averaging 16.2 points and 6.8 rebounds

    Not to mention, if this mission appears, if Zhang Hao focuses on the "95th Class" and sees their opening performance, he will be very excited when he thinks about playing against them. But if he doesn't see it now, if  Zhang Hao will also be very excited if they can maintain their performance or do better when they play against each other in the future.

    It¡¯s just that the geniuses of the 1996 class are the darlings of the media now, and they no longer have extra exposure.

    Looking at the goals and rewards, as well as the advanced goals and advanced rewards the requirements to open the advanced level are a bit crazy!

    But if you want to play, of course you have to play big!

    ¡­¡­

    When the team has a teammate like Zhang Hao who shows endless enthusiasm for the game when he gets on the court, everyone will be infected. At this moment, the teammates feel like playing in college or high school.

    Just to play and win, other ideas and competition for interests are temporarily left behind.

    Kenny Anderson has become a fan of Zhang Hao early on, not without reason. Talent is one aspect, but passion for the game is even more important!

    However, today, when the game was about to start, the teammates suddenly discovered that the fighting spirit of their team's scoring leader had become even higher!

    That look of eagerness to try and the eyes that are eager to play right away, even the poker face can't hide it!

    When I looked at the other sideoh, it turned out to be Garnett.

    That¡¯s normal.

    ?? Our second graders just can¡¯t stand the players who were picked higher than the 9th pick in the 1995 class. Wasn¡¯t the little mouse in Toronto killed a few days ago?

    Routine operations

    After the opponent players came on the field, when they saw Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes full of enthusiasm for the game, they felt a headache

    This is a super talent from the rookie lineup!  The second-year starter averaged 30+ per game and is competing with Jordan, Glenn Rice, Karl Malone and Richmond for the scoring list.

    Rao is a recognized genius like Garnett and Marbury. When he steps on the court and stands on the opposite side of Zhang Hao, he also feels huge pressure.

    The referee came to the center circle with the ball and the game was about to begin. Just when everyone was concentrating, they suddenly heard a sentence

    ¡°I¡¯m going to sweep you all this year, and, Kevin, my score will definitely be at least 10 points higher than yours tonight!¡±

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 213 213. This is life!

    "It's not that no one is like this at the beginning. There are also some who are more arrogant, swearing profusely and scolding each other as soon as they meet. This sentence just sounded even a little childish

    But it¡¯s very different that these words actually came from Zhang Hao¡¯s mouth!

    Teammates and opponents were surprised, and the referee was also surprised. The referee who walked to the center circle was dumbfounded and couldn't help but look at Zhang Hao, who was pointing at Garnett, with surprise.

    Has your personality changed?

    Turn on the external mode?

    Then, watching Zhang Hao take back the hand pointing at Garnett, without waiting for Garnett to respond, he returned to the state of preparing to jump the ball, and his expression returned to the indifferent mode, as if it was no different from usual.

    Garnett even thought he was hearing and seeing hallucinations, but everyone around him looked surprised. It was obviously impossible to be a hallucination!

    After reacting, anger emerged from Garnett's heart. Who was he looking down on?

    Although Garnett also thinks Zhang Hao is very good and his personal relationship is not bad but not good, he is also annoyed now.

    ¡°I just don¡¯t know why, but I finally felt Zhang Hao¡¯s attention, and Garnett felt a little excited.

    Others in the Timberwolves felt very unhappy. Regardless of his personality or playing style, Marbury was definitely a player who worked hard to win during the game.

    Although the personal relationship is good, the game has nothing to do with the personal relationship. The opponent is the opponent. Zhang Hao said he would sweep their Timberwolves, who can bear this?

    The Lakers players were surprised and became even more excited. They were surprised that Zhang Hao would take the initiative to provoke him at the beginning. But considering that Zhang Hao was even more excited tonight than usual, it is not surprising.

    As for what Zhang Hao said about sweeping the Timberwolves then let's sweep it!

    Although the process is strange, the mentality of the Lakers players is indeed moving in the direction Del Harris wants - gradually gaining the mentality that a top championship player should have.

    A little accident happened, but no time was wasted. At 7 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. While the commentator of t.n.t sports channel was still guessing what Zhang Hao had just pointed at Garnett and said, the game started.  !

    The Lakers¡¯ starting lineup is still Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, and Barkley.

    The Timberwolves sent out a starting lineup of Marbury, Doug West, Sam Mitchell, Garnett, and Gugliotta.

    Generally speaking, players value face. The Timberwolves did not let Garnett, who looked obviously taller, jump the ball. Instead, they asked Gugliotta, who played center, to jump the ball.

    Zhang Hao jumped up quickly and easily won the jump ball. The Lakers started a fast break!

    Knowing that there was little hope of winning the jump ball, Gugliotta still went for the jump ball, but he also knew the result. After landing, he quickly retreated and went straight to his own basket.

    Zhang Hao was stopped at the free throw line by the agile Garnett, but on the other side Barkley pushed past Sam Mitchell and rushed to the left side of the opponent's three-second zone to receive the ball without any restrictions.

    There is something about the Timberwolves' defense. Their head coach Flip Saunders set up the defense quite well at the beginning. Gugliotta lost the jump ball and rushed back just in time to finish off Barkley with Sam Mitchell.  pincer attack.

    On the right side of Barkley's three-second zone, the Lakers also have a quick frontcourt player, George Lynch!

    But this is, after Garnett blocked Zhang Hao, he quickly returned to the basket. His short-distance burst of speed even amazed point guards like Kenny Anderson and Marbury. George Lynch did not pass the ball in front of him.  The target faced Garnett's strong defense and failed to score!

    Gugliotta collected the defensive rebound!

    Be on guard!

    The fans at the scene finally focused on the jump ball and wanted to see their team's invincible opening fast break. Unexpectedly, they were guarded by the Timberwolves!

    Del Harris also looked at the young coach Phillip Sanders opposite him in surprise. This young man in his 40s has two brushes!

    After the Lakers players retreated, Gugliotta passed the ball to Marbury, who met him, high-fived Garnett and ran forward.

    The Timberwolves have the gifted young wolf Garnett, and the lone wolf cub Marbury who is even less liked by most people than Garnett. However, the only one with the strongest overall strength and the role of guardian of the penalty area behind Garnett is  The 208cm 110kg alpha wolf Gugliotta!

    Although the scouting report contains content about the amazing defensive performance of the two-wolf inside combination of Garnett and Gugliotta at the beginning of the new season, Zhang Hao was still quite surprised by the actual experience.

    This lineup of the Lakers retreats quickly and quickly gets into position.Danny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt and did not continue to play singles. The Timberwolves felt that an opportunity had come!

    Now we must focus on preventing Zhang Hao from cutting inEh?

    The Timberwolves players watched Zhang Hao squeeze Garnett and run to the middle distance of the left baseline!  Then rely on Garnett to ask for the ball!

    When the Timberwolves felt bad, the fans cheered again!

    Originally, the fans were not very enthusiastic, but when Kenny Anderson came up and started singles mode, the fans became excited. Now Zhang Hao has come to that familiar position

    coming!

    he came!

    The man who ruined the viewing experience of the game is here again!

    Originally, Lakers fans were expecting Barkley to do this at the beginning of the new season, but Barkley refused. The fans were very depressed in the last game, but luckily they won in the end.

    "However, if Barkley doesn't come, they still have another scoundrel in the body-carrying world, Mr. Gentleman, one of the three most rogue body-carrying men!"

    Garnett struggled to resist, but Garnett, who had no advantage in weight and strength, could not push Zhang Hao at all!

    The Lakers players consciously opened up, George Lynch kept sprinting at the free throw line, Barkley went to the three-second area on the right, and Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Doug Christie at a 45-degree angle on the left.  Waiting on the right side of the top arc, Doug Christie received the ball and lobbed it to Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao received the ball and slammed into it. Garnett took a big step back!

    ??In terms of explosive power, Garnett needs to be more powerful. Zhang Hao wants to cut in from the outside. Garnett can withstand it and can keep up in time, but Garnett has to carry Zhang Hao hard

    Amid the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, Zhang Hao knocked Garnett into the three-second zone step by step, turned over, and hit a jumper!

    When fighting for stability and success rate, Kenny Anderson needed to take a breather, and Barkley looked down on the Timberwolves' insistence on holding the oar, Zhang Hao stood up!

    It¡¯s so frustrating!

    When the Timberwolves attack, Garnett wants to return the favor, take the initiative to ask for the ball, and beat Barkley alone!

    Then, Garnett found that he couldn't squeeze anyone. Barkley often suffered from his height when defending power forwards. It was very difficult to cover the power forwards in catching and shooting, but he had one advantage. He was strong and did not give Garnett any advantage.  With so much space for his lower limbs to exert force, Garnett couldn't take off enough, and was squeezed by Barkley. His posture was crooked, and his shot was crooked too!

    Zhang Hao blocked Gugliotta, and George Lynch protected the defensive rebound.

    Although Garnett has had two assists so far tonight, as many as Kenny Anderson, and has done a good job of supporting him, he has yet to score a single point!

    However, he had a strong psychological quality and quickly retreated. Then, after a few seconds, Garnett, who was once again stuck on the bottom line by Zhang Hao, couldn't help but start cursing!

    Comparing Kenny Anderson¡¯s singles, Zhang Hao¡¯s singles is simply an insult!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 214 214. Twin stars shine!

    Amidst Garnett's curses, Zhang Hao seemed to hear "Kang Mang"'s encouragement, and he hit Garnett with all his strength, again and again

    However, although Garnett was angry and kept talking, he was very calm after venting his anger. After being forced into the three-second zone by Zhang Hao, he seized the opportunity, burst out with all his strength, squeezed in, and tried to interfere with Zhang Hao when he turned over.  effect.

    However, when Garnett pressed forward, Zhang Hao did not turn over, but turned left, kicked Garnett behind, grabbed the ball and pushed forward. Garnett was stuck, and Zhang Hao came directly  Get behind Garnett.

    Zhang Hao turned around beautifully in the low post, handed the ball to his left hand, avoided Gugliotta who came over, and made an easy throw.

    With this move, when the effect of "Deep Steps (Bronze)", which has a 10% chance of perfectly blocking the defender when turning, is triggered, Zhang Hao doesn't even need to use the 3-point speed bonus from the fixed effect of this medal, because  He can push from behind!

    When he received this medal, he thought that maybe this medal might not be as effective for him in high post plays as in low post plays.

    After practice, it is indeed the case!

    Even if the Timberwolves have the strength to compete in the playoffs this year, preseason games and the start of the season have proven that they have the ability to compete with strong teams, but in the end they rely on the team.

    When they met Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao, they couldn't guard them one-on-one. Although most of their other players were functional players, even Barkley became a functional player when he came to the Lakers, and Fipley Sanders did  The arrangement was to defend Barkley as a functional player.

    But the Lakers are very functional!  When there is an isolation point that cannot be guarded one-on-one, and he has good vision and can pass the ball, the Timberwolves really have nothing to do.

    Garnett gritted his teeth and tried to calm down and cooperate well with his teammates.

    After hitting an iron to calm down for a while, he finally discovered that Zhang Hao just didn't want him to score. He made good use of this in the next two attacks.

    Another two rounds passed, and the Timberwolves worked hard to score another 4 points before the official timeout. When entering the official timeout, the Timberwolves trailed the Lakers by 6 points, 17-23.

    With 23 points in 6 minutes and 11 seconds, this success rate made Del Harris more determined to change his style of play.

    Although this was not what I thought at first, there was nothing I could do. What else could I do if I didn¡¯t change it like this?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it were not for this damn child, who has made such a marked progress, with one more singles stroke, and a richer post-play, and able to link up with Kenny Anderson on the inside and outside, he would not even have the same play-style now.

    In the starting stage, it is impossible for Barkley to waste his energy on running tactics. At most, he can be directed in a small area.

    Then let¡¯s fight like this!  Why fight is not a fight, as long as there is no solution in singles, isn't it, the advantage will come.

    Zhang Hao scored 7 points in the first half of the quarter, and also took advantage of Gugliotta's early attack to pass an assist to Barkley. Barkley scored 2+1, and the TV commentator also rated it very highly.

    But the TV commentator was more impressed by Zhang Hao's stability in the beginning. It seemed that as long as it was time for him to contribute, he would be able to contribute.

    This is also a pain for the Timberwolves. At first, Zhang Hao didn't take a shot for more than 3 minutes, so Garnett let up Zhang Hao's three-pointer, and Zhang Hao threw it in after receiving the ball. He didn't need to use it in the game at all.  Looking for the feel, the stability is terrifying.

    Every time I see news that surprises Zhang Hao¡¯s stability and ability to maintain touch, Del Harris, Zhang Hao¡¯s head coach, wants to laugh.

    Your players spend at least two hours warming up slowly every game. How bad is the stability of the game?

    However, the promotion was not strong. Del Harris and the management discussed whether to advance the warm-up time and ask the players to be like Zhang Hao, but finally gave up.

    Rather than letting others come to catch fish early, it is better to follow your habits and carry out effective warm-up preparations at the time you are accustomed to, which is stronger than simply increasing the warm-up time and warm-up items.

    Such a warm-up is not difficult, but it is too difficult to have that patience every day. If you are not careful, it may become a vent-type warm-up after the players have lost their patience, wasting energy during the warm-up stage.

    The Timberwolves players marveled at Zhang Hao's performance in which he made 3 of 3 starts, including 1 of 3-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 9 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. However, Flip Saunders calmly saw some  Chance¡­¡­

    He stood in front of the technical stage when the game started and heard what Zhang Hao said.

    ? Observing half of the game, he discovered that Zhang Hao was indeed trying every means to prevent Garnett from scoring.

    &bsp; At the last moment, the Timberwolves' team was completely drained of energy and energy.

    Garnett played the entire game, Marbury played 44 minutes, and Gugliotta played 46 minutes. They could have relied on the motivation of still having a chance to catch up. Now, time + score = desperate situation.  Down, collapsed!

    At the last moment, the Timberwolves relied on Terry Burt to hit a three-pointer, and the Lakers' Barkley grabbed an offensive rebound and scored two points.

    Zhang Hao played a full 48 minutes and made 13 of 24 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 40 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.

    Kenny Anderson scored 26 points and 12 assists.

    In the end, thanks to the crazy performance of the Lakers¡¯ two-star team that scored 66 points and 20 assists, plus forward combination Barkley¡¯s 18 points and George Lynch¡¯s 16 points, Doug Christie and Brian Shaw combined for 20 points

    ? 6 Lakers players scored in double figures and defeated the Timberwolves 133-124!

    Garnett scored 11 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 block tonight, the first triple-double in his career, but lost to Zhang Hao in the end!

    It was just a gap of one or two rounds. After he passed the ball so well and organized the team's offense so well, their team had Gugliotta who scored 32 points and Marbury also had 24 points. The whole team  7 people scored in double figures, just because they didn't make good decisions in a few rounds!

    In this game, Zhang Hao played really well!  It was the first time he felt so good since last season's runaway game against the Knicks, because this was a game that truly established him as one of the core players of the offense from the start.

    ???????????????? Facing the Timberwolves, who were in excellent starting form, he won with his 40 points, 6 assists, and defensive performance!

    On Marbury¡¯s side, he worked very hard to win during the game and did some things. In the end, he also messed up some things, but there was no way. He tried his best to deal with it.

    Looking at Kenny Anderson's performance of 26 points and 12 assists, and then looking at his 24 points and 7 assists, his score is not low, but he made 8 of 18 shots. When the opportunity is so good, it should not be true. Comparing it, he understands that he  Not a match for Kenny Anderson yet.

    Seeing Zhang Hao walking towards Garnett, Marbury also wanted to go over and express his thoughts that the Timberwolves would definitely win the next game. Indeed, looking at this game, the Timberwolves have a chance, but they just don't have the Lakers.  The team grasped it so well.

    However, when Marbury arrived next to Zhang Hao and Garnett, he heard Zhang Hao reach out and say to Garnett: "Kevin, I had a lot of fun playing tonight, and I hope I can play as well next time Hey, don't  Let¡¯s go¡­¡±

    Garnett slapped Zhang Hao's hand away and left directly!

    If he wasn't afraid of being defeated in a fight, Garnett might want to take action!

    Marbury looked at Zhang Hao helplessly, but he couldn't get angry because Zhang Hao didn't say this to him. He was helpless because he actually felt that Zhang Hao meant what he said!  He felt that Zhang Hao didn't say this just to provoke!

 Chapter 215 215. Please stop trying so hard!

    When Zhang Hao gets 20+ or ??30+, people already think it is normal.

    Averaging 27 points per game in his rookie season, finishing second in the league and first in the Western Conference, and being selected to the first team, he has to enjoy this kind of honor that is regarded as ordinary despite his absolutely incredible performance for his age.

    Even if O'Neal is not injured at the start, his performance will decline compared to last season, which will also attract doubts.

    However, getting 40+ is different.

    50+ is rare and 60+ is unattainable. To determine whether a scorer is a top scorer, the number of 40+ scores is definitely one of the best ways to determine whether a scorer is a top scorer.

    Since the NBA entered the modern basketball era in 1976, any player who has scored 40+ points in a single game at least 10 times in his career can definitely be called a player from the first time he scored 40+ points in a single game to the last time.  A top scorer; if you get 20 times, you can be called a top scorer.

    Zhang Hao scored 40 points in the game against the Timberwolves. This was the 10th time in his career that he scored 40+ points in a single game. It took him only 87 games, tying Michael Jordan who took 108 games to score 40+ points in a single game.  number of times, becoming the fastest player in the modern basketball era to score 10 40+ points in a single game!

    After the game against the Timberwolves, Zhang Hao finally made a serious headline.

    But what is even more popular is another topic - Zhang Hao provoked the Timberwolves and Garnett before the game, boasting that he would sweep the emerging team Timberwolves.

    The TV station edited the scene of Zhang Hao's provocation. In the live broadcast at that time, there was a scene of Zhang Hao pointing at Garnett, but the camera from that angle could not see any details. As for the sound, no fans at the scene could hear it clearly. Now  The technology also does not have noise-canceling radios.

    But after the game, because the ratings of this game were quite good and the whole game was good, t.n.t planned to use it as a replay program the next afternoon.

    When re-editing the video, the editor who knew a little bit of lip reading noticed again the scene of Zhang Hao pointing at Garnett when editing the clip at the beginning of the game, and changed it to a non-main camera shot, which happened to be a frontal view.  For Zhang Hao, the editor saw the picture of Zhang Hao speaking, and one word's mouth shape was "sweep".

    This is a breaking point!

    Immediately, the editor informed his boss, who also took it seriously. It was too easy for the TV station to find someone who could read lips Then, although this matter did not make the headlines, it became popular after it was mentioned in sports news!

    The next morning, the media asked the referee and other players about the incident, and it was confirmed.

    So, at noon the next day, this topic became the hottest topic - the competition for the 95th class of talented power forwards began!

    Originally, the rookies of the 1996 class had a great start after entering the NBA. Although they were not as high-profile players as Zhang Hao, their overall quality was much better than that of the 1995 class, and they became the new darling of the media. However, Zhang Hao provoked Garnett and fulfilled his promise.  Bold words, and there are follow-ups. The Lakers and Timberwolves will face each other three times this season. After Zhang Hao's 40 points in a single game vs. Garnett's triple-double performance, the two will face each other three times!

    Zhang Hao's provocative goal was to score 10 points higher than Garnett's. In the eyes of the media, this was almost certain to be achieved, and there was no doubt about it.

    But who can say for sure whether the game will be won or lost?

    The Timberwolves' three-wolf combination has already proven the compatibility and coordination effect of their talents and playing styles from the preseason and the first few games of the regular season. Even the top teams competing for the championship dare not say that they have such a short preparation time in the regular season.  Definitely beat them in a few games, Zhang Hao is going to sweep them in one game Book the next game in advance!

    If nothing else, the Celtics, who have lost five games in a row at the beginning of the game, if the Celtics' talented rookie Anthony Walker says that they can beat the Bulls, the next time the two teams play against each other, it will also attract a lot of attention.  Fans and media take note.

    Zhang Hao, Garnett, and Marbury are all the most talented among the new generation of players. Their competition on the same court originally attracted a lot of attention. Now, as soon as this news came out, it was verified by referees and players.  The team already has two scheduled live broadcasts across the United States this season, and now several TV stations are rushing to broadcast the other two!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Another hot news hit, but the last topic became weird again, and Zhang Hao was helpless.

    However, he really likes the feeling of being in the spotlight now. During the offseason, he can not show his face in front of the media. That is his time for latent training, but in the new season, when he starts to show his improved strength  , he is eager to be seen by more people.

    Both the magician and the logo man concluded that underneath his poker face, he had a serious heart and would definitely fall in love with the unique conditions of Los Angeles. Facts have proved that they were right.

    new??Can cause them a lot of trouble.

    Thinking about it, only 10 game days have passed since the start of the season. Before the start of the season, how could Zhang Hao have thought that the Lakers would be beaten inside now?  Although Mutombo is indeed a difficult defensive player to deal with, he is currently at his peak and is the most popular candidate for the best defensive player after the start of the new season

    Looking at Barkley, who was fast asleep after getting on the plane, Zhang Hao recognized that this guy was playing against a team like the Hawks that had a good start but was not considered a championship contender like the Lakers last season.  There is still no desire to attack independently, and it seems that they are preparing to play dead until they fight against a strong team.

    This is no problem, the strength is there. Playing about 20 minutes in each game and maintaining a competitive state will actually be more beneficial to the Lakers in the later stages of the season, but Zhang will have to work harder in the early stages.

    But the other person

    "Shaquille O'Neal, 24 years old, 216 cm, 133 kg"

    "What is this guy doing? I remember I just came back from playing three consecutive games and saw that he weighed 136 kilograms. Just these days, where is the 3 kilograms of meat?

    Why are you going to lose weight when you have nothing to do?  Have you been trained?  Yothe hook hand has increased a little?

    Depend on!  Did it make you work hard?  Can't you take a good rest?  "

    Looking at O'Neal's latest player detection report, Zhang Hao couldn't help but curse wildly.

    Zhang Hao is really worried about O'Neal!

    "However, such words can only be slandered, but they cannot be said out loud. No matter what the reason is, they cannot be said out, otherwise they will be regarded as having ulterior motives, which will make it more troublesome.

    Recognized as the most talented new-generation star and the theoretically strongest player on the same team, he said, "Stop training and gain weight." This

    "O'Neal's injury is almost healed. After the two consecutive away games this time, he may come back, right? He has to fly back and forth and be so tired. He shouldn't be able to train, right? Fortunately, this two consecutive away games have opponents.  Top 50 superstar, he wants to take a photo before the game. Otherwise, if he leaves him in Los Angeles, who knows if he will go to secretly train again

    ¡°I hope that after he comes back, he will be very tired from playing games and will stop thinking about training and just be lazy¡±

    Thinking about it, last season was fine, but why has your team become so weird after one summer?

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 216 216. The shark returns!

    When he arrived at the hotel in Houston, Zhang Hao was still as usual. He had time the day before the game and concentrated on studying the opponent's videos and information.

    As time went by, his teammates already thought he was a boring basketball player.

    He became a role model, but it was difficult to follow him.

    At 5:10 pm, when he finished his work for the day and was about to invite his better teammates for dinner, Zhang Hao received a system prompt.

    "Signed player Wang Zhizhi played for the Hoyas against the Huskies. He played 37 minutes and scored 11 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 blocks, helping the Hoyas defeat the Huskies 92-75 Congratulations.  The host will receive a double reward and a 4-day life span reward."

    Zhang Hao was shocked when he saw this system prompt!

    Classmate Xiao Wang, you can!  I actually got a triple-double in the second game of my sophomore year!

    But this playing time, this score

    Zhang Hao thought about a game he had last season. Not long after the fourth quarter, the point difference exceeded 20 points. Then he had to play for half an extra quarter before being replaced because there was still 3 points left, but the opponent was so far behind.  Give him easy shooting opportunities and guard him tightly

    "John Thompson seems to really like Xiao Wang. He also played 31 minutes in the last game. However, it is much more difficult for Georgetown to win this year than last year. Iverson, the best player and best player in the Big East Division,  The defensive players have left, their strength has dropped a lot, and they have not recruited particularly talented outsiders They seem to be rich in big centers. There have been 9 centers selected in the first round in history. Xiao Wang will be the 10th  There seems to be only one NCAA champion.

    Ewing, Mourning, and Mutombo, these should be the three best centers in the history of Georgetown University. Xiao Wang is really completely different from them. Perhaps this makes John Thompson, an old coach with rare talents,  Have you developed an interest that you can cultivate well?  "

    After being happy for Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Hao went to find Kenny Anderson and Jason Williams. After having lunch, he returned to the room and called Wang Zhizhi to congratulate him.

    After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao still felt that it was quite troublesome. To call Wang Zhizhi, he had to call the other party's school team manager, but he couldn't give the other party too expensive gifts, otherwise he would cause trouble to him and trigger an NCAA investigation.

    After a night¡¯s rest, the next morning, Zhang Hao followed his teammates to the Rockets¡¯ home court to prepare for the game.

    Del Harris is ready to carry out his "anti-trend play" to the end, and the tactics he has deployed are getting more and more special

    Zhang Hao felt the madness of the old fox who dared to let the rookie Kobe Bryant make the last attack in two consecutive playoff games.

    After lunch at noon, when Zhang Hao was about to take a lunch break, Jason Williams hurried in.

    "Akers, have you watched the news?"

    "What's wrong?"

    "The Spurs announced that David Robinson suffered ruptured tibial cartilage and torn ankle ligaments in his right foot, and is out for the season!"

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Although Zhang Hao knew that David Robinson would eventually be reimbursed for the season, as a student majoring in sports medicine, he knew that with current medical technology, this injury could be cured well if he had money. David Robinson would definitely be  Rich people.

    This injury, also commonly known as "football foot", mostly occurs in European and South American athletes. There are already very complete treatment methods. There are experts in this field in Los Angeles and Miami. If the injury is treated early, there will be no perfect recovery.  , at least the impact will be reduced a lot.

    And David Robinson¡¯s level is definitely the worst level!

    Cartilage rupture and ankle ligament tear can be treated well, but only for ordinary people. For an athlete, this is equivalent to a devastating blow to explosive power and explosive speed!

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t believe that the Spurs would deliberately worsen the injury of David Robinson, who was in his prime, and end him for a whole season, or that this kind of injury would almost cause the player¡¯s performance to decline off a cliff.

    David Robinson has been on the double team for two consecutive seasons in the past two seasons. If Jordan had not come back, David Robinson would have completed two consecutive MVPs last season.

    "Is this because 'football feet' are rare in the NBA and are not taken seriously? Or is it because we were competing with the Lakers for first place in the Western Conference at that time and were afraid that the hospitals in Los Angeles would cheat them? That's why it was delayed until now and worsened to this point.  The situation? You are committing evil!"

    ¡­¡­

    With the start of 6 games, averaging 15 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block per game, David Robinson ended the 1996-1997 season.

    The Spurs also went from an unexpected start to a really bad team.

    In the interview before the warm-up, Magic mentioned the matter of David Robinson of the Spurs, another Texas team.

    ?Anfernee Hardaway led the team to 13 wins and 3 losses at the beginning of this season. He felt that he was marginalized. Some media said that the Lakers would be better off without him.

    In this case, wouldn¡¯t it be enough to come back and win together?

    ¡­¡­

    During the day and a half of rest, Zhang Hao was thinking about how to better cooperate with O'Neal. The preparation time always passed quickly. On November 16th, O'Neal's comeback battle was here!

    Finally, the "lakers-allstar-starts" combination of the Lakers will make their first collective appearance, attracting huge attention. Time Warner Cable Sports took the lead in announcing that it will broadcast this game, and American cable TV and its Canadian Columbia Broadcasting and Television Station will also broadcast the game.  Live broadcast of the Lakers and Suns game in North America.

    Adhering to the principle that sometimes it is better to make too complicated preparations when there is not enough time, Del Harris only started to arrange simple coordination training this morning.

    When preparing, the Lakers were not too nervous, they were all excited!

    The rest of the Lakers were so excited just to see the five players who had been selected as All-Star starters standing together for an interview, especially Kersey who came to hug his thigh, they wanted to kneel down and call God.  .

    At 6:30 in the evening, half an hour before the start of the game, Time Warner Cable Sports started the live broadcast. As a friendly station, it was a blast!

    The American cable television station also did not give any face to the Knicks, the NBA team owned by the parent company, saying that O'Neal will become the number one center in Los Angeles

    With huge publicity, the game came as scheduled. At 6:43 in the evening, after the visiting team¡¯s players had entered the stadium, the Great Western Forum Arena was filled with excitement!

    The Lakers' appearance tonight was a bit special. The submitted starting list included Doug Christie, but Doug Christie ran out and stood at the entrance of the tunnel with his substitute teammates when he entered the game.

    When the on-site DJ shouted "the strongest center in the world" and O'Neal appeared under the spotlight at the entrance of the players' tunnel, the scene was so excited that it exploded!

    Center forward!  Lakers tradition!

    Since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was last selected to the first team in the 1985-86 season at the age of 39 10 years ago, the Lakers have not had an All-NBA center in the past 10 seasons, that is, a player who can compete for the best center in the league.  Finally, they welcomed O'Neal!

    However, Lakers fans did not forget about the old ones after they had a new player. On the contrary, when Zhang Hao came on for the second time, the fans at the scene screamed and cheered like tearing their vocal cords, which made O'Neal very happy.

    But forget it, he grabbed the second most watched position in the team!

    ?When Barkley and Kenny Anderson came on the stage, the cheers at the scene never stopped, but it cooled down a little.

    At the end, when Magic took the stage, the five big guys of the Lakers stood in the spotlight together

    On the other side, Kidd looked at the exaggerated lineup on the opposite side and listened to the fans cheering like crazy.

    ??Here, hit a hammer?

 Chapter 217 217. No one knows how you should play better than me

    The five star players of the Lakers appeared together, but the real starter was Doug Christie. Magic "stole" the opportunity to enter the game on the grounds that "the five of us should appear together."

    Since the magician is going to appear together, he will naturally be the one to take the stage.

    The Magician discussed this matter with Doug Christie in advance, and the latter expressed his support.

    Since the training camp, I have felt that O'Neal and Zhang Hao are not dealing with each other, and Doug Christie also knows that the relationship within the team is difficult to reconcile.

    O'Neal has a cheerful personality and gets along well with everyone; Zhang Hao, although cold-tempered, has a strong personal charm, is hard-working, talented, and smarta perfect basketball player.

    But the two just refused to deal with each other, and Doug Christie also chose to sacrifice some unimportant things to avoid conflict between the two.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Lakers and the Suns started.

    After 2 hours and 23 minutes, at 9:23 pm, the Lakers easily defeated the frightened Suns 102-88.

    Except for Rex Chapman, who seized the shooting opportunity from the corner and shot 7 of 15, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, plus 1 of 2 free throws to score 18 points, everyone else on the Suns team was very good.  Pull down.

    With O'Neal protecting the frame, Ceballos scored 4 points on 2 of 7 shots, but was forced to go for a mid-range shot. Kidd made 2 of 15 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 14 points, but only 5  assists, Kevin Johnson made 3 of 9, and scored 12 points with 6 of 6 free throws

    As for the Lakers, the score was much lower than in the previous games.

    In O'Neal's first game back, the Lakers became a team that relied purely on singles to score points. The pace was extremely slow and they only took 70 shots in the game.

    O¡¯Neal played 31 minutes and made 7 of 12 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks.

    Zhang Hao made 6 of 11 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 18 points. He failed to score 20 points for the first time in the new season.

    Kenny Anderson made 2 of 4 shots and 8 of 8 free throws, scoring 12 points and 6 assists.

    Doug Christie made 4 of 10 shots, including 4 of 6 three-pointers. He had no other points and scored 12 points and 2 steals.

    Barkley also worked hard tonight with excitement. He made 5 of 8 shots and made 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.

    ¡­¡­

    O'Neal won his first game back, and the Lakers' performance attracted intense discussion.

    Although the Suns failed at critical moments and Cotton Philsimmons' style of play is no longer suitable for today's era. They only had 2 wins and 6 losses before playing the Lakers, but the Suns are always prone to collapse in the last few minutes of the final quarter.  During the three quarters, their performance was absolutely top-notch. Even when they played the Bulls, they led by more than 10 points 59-48 at halftime. Although they were beaten 23-13 in the third quarter, they rushed again in the first half of the final quarter.  Come on, the Bulls still relied on defense and stable scoring at the last moment to narrowly defeat the Suns 99-97.

    But in this game, the Lakers defeated the Suns purely by relying on singles, which really made people see their terrible one-on-one ability.

    When their five starters hit the ground running one by one, they looked like they were invincible.

    ¡­¡­

    The day after the game against the Suns, the Lakers came to the home arena of the University of Southern California to challenge the Clippers.

    This time the Lakers played 4 games in 5 days, overall it was okay. The first back-to-back was not much different from the home back-to-back, it was just that they were played in another stadium in Los Angeles.

    The Clippers¡¯ strength has improved tremendously this season.

    This year's offseason, after the Lakers acquired Barkley, many players wanted to compete for the championship together. However, the Lakers were still waiting for O'Neal and could not give an answer. At that time, the logo man had already had a clear introduction of role players.  plan, so Lakers legend Elgin Baylor took the opportunity to help the Clippers grab several players who wanted to come to Los Angeles to play.

    The fat-cat-looking coach Bill Fitch, who has twice won the best coach and won one championship, finally has someone available. The Clippers have quickly become a team competing for the playoffs.  Like the Timberwolves, both are 5 wins and 4 losses.

    An opponent who has the strength to win is more exciting to the fans than an unsuspecting massacre.

    The students of the University of Southern California gave Zhang Hao and the Lakers the most enthusiastic cheers after the game started at 7:30 pm. Among the college students in the Los Angeles area, at least at the University of Southern California, the Lakers have become their absolute home team, because  Zhang Hao is a sophomore at their school. Someone saw him in the exam room in May. He didn't forget to study when he was playing in the NBA. He got an A in every exam

    However, tonight, the more than 3,000 USC students who came to watch the game, as well as other fans who came to watch the Lakers, were disappointed.

    &nI made 5 of 7 three-pointers in the first place, and I should have made the last two three-pointers. If you didn't make so many mistakes when facing Divac and Olajuwon, we wouldn't only have 85 points. Moreover, I didn't make the three-pointers.  Go in, can't you get the rebound?  "

    O¡¯Neal laughed angrily: ¡°You mean you blame me for losing?¡±

    Zhang Hao nodded seriously: "Yes, I had never lost in a row before you came here."

    As soon as these words came out, it was a critical strike!

    When O'Neal and Zhang Hao quarreled, the teammates were all in panic. Just as Magic was about to persuade him, he heard Zhang Hao release a strategic weapon of mass destruction.

    This is so hurtful!

    The Rockets were still celebrating the victory. Divac was very excited. His 23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, and Olajuwon's 18 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks, which sniped O'Neal very well. Although O'Neal was beaten by  He shot 10 of 18 from the field and didn't protect the rebounds very well, but he kept the pace down. The Lakers only took 71 shots in the game, half of which were shot by Zhang Hao and O'Neal, locking the Lakers down.

    I didn¡¯t expect that the two young superstars of the other party would start fighting among themselves!

    The fans at the scene were disappointed and ready to leave, but they stopped and watched the quarrel.

    O'Neal's ability to mess around is obviously stronger than the magician expected.

    Although O'Neal was very annoyed by what Zhang Hao said, he had a new breakthrough point: "If you have the ability, go deal with the two of them, don't leave the inside information to me!"

    "I can deal with them on the inside, so what else do I need from you?"

    this¡­¡­

    O'Neal didn't expect Zhang Hao to say this. The other Lakers players who were anxious about how to break up the fight were also surprised. It seemed something was wrong?

    Zhang Hao remained calm, as if he was not affected by the loss and quarrel at all, and said: "Isn't it what you should do to deal with Olajuwon and Divac? Knowing that you will be flanked, knowing that you will beat Olajuwon  Divac and Divac are easy to get the ball cut, but you still want the ball so obviously, what are you thinking?"

    It was another calm but fatal attack, which made O'Neal not know how to answer directly.

    However, the teammates heard the change in Zhang Hao¡¯s words and meaning.

    But O'Neal's ability to mess around is really great. He asked: "Are you teaching me how to do things? Do you know how a center should play?"

    Teammates feel that O'Neal really just wants to quarrel and vent. Is it someone who can't help but fight back after hearing O'Neal's tone and content?

    Then there is a quarrel that is completely unreasonable and cannot solve the problem!

    But Zhang Hao, a young man who only turns 20 in more than a month, seems not to be affected by O'Neal at all, and his expression is still so calm.

    Zhang Hao looked at O'Neal and said: "When I argue with you, I don't want to create a situation where you and I are hostile. What I want is for us to discuss how to solve the problem together. What is against us is the problem of us losing. I think,  With you, Mr. Barkley, Mr. Magic, Boss Kenny, Doug, Mr. Scott, Mr. Shaw, George and others, we should not lose when facing the bottom team."

    Suddenly, the situation was brought back to a normal dispute!

    Lakers players looked at O'Neal, the king of bullshit, and didn't know how to respond. They were surprised but felt normal.

    This is the Zhang Hao they are familiar with!  Their leader!

    The Rockets players who came to watch were also surprised that Zhang Hao actually stabilized the situation while talking and taking the initiative to fire.

    But, the adjectives used to describe their Rockets team are too much!

    ??Well, after winning against the Lakers, it was only 4 wins and 8 losses, and Olajuwon chose to shut up.

    Then just when O'Neal was about to throw out a harsh word and run away before thinking about how to quarrel next time, Zhang Hao spoke again¡ª¡ª

    "I don't know how a center should play, but Mr. O'Neal no one knows how you should play better than me!"

    ??This statement sounds to others like Zhang Hao has spent a lot of time and thought studying O'Neal and thinking of how to best utilize O'Neal's strength.

    Furthermore, his teammates don¡¯t think there is any problem with this at all, because Zhang Hao does have the talent and ability to become a player like Russell, Lenny Wilkens, and Larry Bird!

    Just when O'Neal was speechless and others were praising Zhang Hao's handling of O'Neal's quarrel, a subtitle suddenly popped up in front of Zhang Hao's eyes!

    "Special signing player Zhang Hao perfectly handled the quarrel between the difficult Shaquille O'Neal, which brought a strong sensory impact to his teammates, and also brought a deeper impression to the top 50 superstars of other teams.  .

    ¡°Because Zhang Hao made a bold statement at the end of the dispute, the mission: Understand the king¡¯s trigger"

 Chapter 218 218. Can I take Er Fat with you?

    "Understand the king:

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers think of the correct way to use Shaquille O'Neal and get Shaquille O'Neal to agree.

    Rewards: Special Card: Know the King.  "

    With this task name and this reward name, Zhang Hao felt that he should live in a large white landmark building, and outside, he also needed the most beautiful scenery.

    After the quarrel came to an end, the atmosphere in the Lakers team was still tense, but the players felt that things might be getting better.

    The past few games have been really annoying, with unpredictable changes in each game and always causing trouble.

    Now, hope is pinned on Zhang Hao.

    But regardless of the outcome of their quarrel, no one expected the Rockets to decline so quickly before the start of the season, and the start would be even more bleak than in the past two years. This game was scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States, and the footage of the quarrel has been watched by many fans on television.  arrive.

    After the game, Del Harris and Magic said that the dispute between Zhang Hao and O'Neal had been resolved. The conflict between the two was about the game itself, and there was no problem.

    But no one believed it.

    Contradictions and conflicts are always more interesting and attract more attention than a happy situation where everyone is doing well.

    And since Zhang Hao and O'Neal are in internal strife, the media is more willing to hype this topic.

    There are many fans who like to see the Lakers do well, but they don¡¯t want to see the Lakers do more good.

    And even if fans want to see good things about the Lakers, they will pay more attention to the internal strife in the Lakers and devote more time to debates than when they see good news about the Lakers.

    What the media wants is the fans¡¯ time

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The day after the game against the Rockets, the Lakers players had a day off.

    But the coaching staff did not have a holiday. Early in the morning, Zhang Hao went to the arena to discuss new ways to use O'Neal with Del. Harris' coaching staff.

    Last night, Del Harris, who had not slept all night, really wanted to puke in Zhang Hao's face when he heard Zhang Hao's explanation of how to use it!

    This is called "knowing how O'Neal best plays"?  That's too hasty!

    However, due to the situation in the past few games, Del Harris does feel that many of the tactics he prepared were in vain.

    The formulation of tactics must be based on experience, the players¡¯ past performance, and the players¡¯ technical characteristics.

    However, even though the Lakers added a lot of pitchers in the summer, they are far behind the Magic's pitching staff. When playing the Rockets, Zhang Hao even went for three-pointers like Nick Anderson and Denise Scott.  He took 9 three-pointers in the game, but the effect He can take a lot of shots and make a lot of shots. He dares to throw even if he can't make a shot. Others can't!

    The Magic's style of play requires them to win the game only if they have the best three-pointers in the league, two players who are among the top five in the league in three-pointers per game, and Denis Scott's god-level performance of 3.3 three-pointers per game.

    Moreover, the Magic's winning is not stable. Among all the teams with 60+ wins last season, the Magic had the lowest net rating, with an average margin of only 5 points per game. Among the teams with 50+ wins, the Magic had the lowest net rating.  Both are the lowest.

    Like the Magic's gambling-like play style, Del Harris doesn't want to go deeper.

    The planned tactics did not apply to the actual situation.

    "I can't think of any way to adjust in a short period of time, and even if I deduce tactics based on common sense, it's really possible that it won't be done for a year or two, and the players will eventually be scattered.

    The Lakers are not the first team to form a luxurious lineup, and failures are not uncommon.

    However, after hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s usage method, Del Harris couldn¡¯t accept it!

    Too hasty!

    After a stalemate, looking at Zhang Hao's so calm and handsome face, Del Harris ignored it and let Zhang Hao express his thoughts to his teammates.

    ¡­¡­

    In the afternoon, the Big Five of the Lakers came to the Time Warner training facility.

    Magic, Kenny Anderson, Barkley, and O'Neal came to the conference room, and Zhang Hao was still in the head coach's office.

    They can guess what is going to happen this afternoon.

    The magician is looking forward to it, but as for worrying

    During the past few games, the Magicians also thought about it many times due to coordination issues, but they couldn't think of how to maximize their strength. They even couldn't even make the best choice or sacrifice.  judge.

    Their lineup does look gorgeous, but if you want to cover everything, it is absolutely impossible.

    The magician thinks very broadly,He is a fool. In fact, he just wants to fight with Zhang Hao. Today, he is here. In addition to wanting to fight, he also wants to hear how Zhang Hao will arrange his fighting style. If he thinks it is right, he will not hesitate to say so.  I promise that I will do it silently during the competitionas long as it's not too difficult to do.

    The first thing is to continue to win games, otherwise it will really be his comeback that leads the Lakers' record to plummet.

    Now with 9 wins and 4 losses, if there is really a good adjustment at this time, he is willing to cooperate.

    However, he really didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to tell him to be lazy.

    This is no longer a question of whether it is difficult or not, it is simply a benefit!

    Now that he calmed down, he took apart every word Zhang Hao said and arranged it again. He felt that Zhang Hao had the intention to reduce his chance of regular season performance.

    However, when thinking about the situation Zhang Hao mentioned, O'Neal felt - so comfortable!

    O'Neal, who was being watched, tried his best to show his disdain and responded: "I am willing to do anything to win. I am willing to sacrifice or take on more responsibilities. I will definitely do what I should do, but you will  If it doesn¡¯t fall off the chain, I don¡¯t know.¡±

    ¡° O¡¯Neal maintains the last arrogance No, it¡¯s the last stubbornness No, it¡¯s the last reserve

    Anyway, after O'Neal responded, Del Harris left the meeting room, lamented, and prepared to catch up on some sleep and then work overtime.

    After having a clear direction and temporarily solving the problem of O'Neal's possible unwillingness to cooperate, he was indeed relieved, but he knew he would be busy next.

    It¡¯s that dead kid who got him so many troublesome jobs!

    After a day¡¯s rest, on November 24th, the Lakers faced off against the Spurs at home.

    Originally, this game was broadcast live across the United States. Before the season, no one thought that David Robinson would really be reimbursed.

    The Spurs are also lucky. The consequences of David Robinson's reimbursement have not yet fully fermented, and the Lakers have stolen the limelight.

    Originally, this national live broadcast was going to be made fun of, but due to the post-game conflict between O'Neal and Zhang Hao, the live broadcast stayed.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Lakers and Spurs started.

    The media and fans are very concerned about what impact the internal strife in the Lakers will have?

    After the game started, the Lakers had the upper hand. The Spurs had no desire to win. They would never find a way to win a game they could lose.

    In the end, O'Neal made 9 of 16 shots and 10 of 18 free throws to score 28 points, 21 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. Zhang Hao made 11 of 18 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws to score 28 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks.  Assists and 1 steal, plus Kenny Anderson's 14 points and 9 assists, George Lynch's 12 points and Barkley's 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist The Lakers slaughtered the Spurs 109-85, avoiding a losing streak and winning  To the 10th victory of the new season.

    However, although the Lakers won, the TV commentator discovered a surprising thing - O'Neal's tactical position in the game was weakened!

    Don't look at O'Neal's 16 shots. Not counting extra free throws, there were 7 unsuccessful shots. A total of 23 shots were taken. However, O'Neal grabbed 14 offensive rebounds. 11 of his 23 shots were  I threw it after grabbing the offensive rebound!

    So, here comes a new topic - O'Neal lost to Zhang Hao in the competition within the team!

 Chapter 219 219. Selfless Shark

    The Lakers have three games left in the last few days of November. Although this month's schedule is compact, the opponents in the remaining three games are relatively weak.

    Originally, these games were not on the list of games that were hyped by the media and paid attention to by fans.

    But now the attention is rising!

    In the past few days, after every game of the Lakers, there will be heated discussions.

    November 26th and 27th are another back-to-back away games.

    On the 26th, the Lakers defeated the Kings 100-85.

    In this game, the Lakers' rebound count in a single game once again exceeded 60, with 41 defensive rebounds and 20 offensive rebounds, of which 12 offensive rebounds were obtained by O'Neal alone.

    O'Neal made 9 of 15 shots, plus 4 of 8 free throws. O'Neal played 33 minutes and scored 22 points and 20 rebounds. Zhang Hao made 11 of 20 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, plus 11 of 13 free throws, scoring 36 points and 7 rebounds.  With 3 rebounds and 1 block, plus Kenny Anderson with 12 points and 11 assists, and Jason Williams with 8 points and 14 rebounds, the Lakers easily won the victory.

    O¡¯Neal, who grabbed 12 offensive rebounds, only made 18 shots in total including shots that were fouled, which once again aroused heated discussion.

    On the 27th, in the Lakers' back-to-back away games against the Suns, O'Neal played 40 minutes and scored 26 points, 28 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks. His rebounds tied his career-high performance with the Nets in his sophomore year.  The 20+20+5 data was also the first time in his career, but he grabbed 16 offensive rebounds in a single game and beat the Suns inside to the point where the Lakers didn't even want to get stuck when shooting from the outside. O'Neal's successful shots in the game were only  20 times, 11 of 20 shots, plus 4 of 9 free throws, scoring 26 points.

    Zhang Hao played 31 minutes and took 17 shots, making 9 of 17 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

    In addition, Doug Christie¡¯s 12 points and 2 assists, Magic¡¯s 7 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Jason Williams¡¯ 3 points and 12 rebounds, James Robinson¡¯s 13 points¡­

    The Lakers slaughtered the Suns 108-87 and won three consecutive victories.

    On November 29th, the Lakers¡¯ 17th game of the season and the last game of the first game month came to the Eastern Conference to challenge the Bucks in the last of three consecutive away games.

    In this game, O'Neal's three consecutive double-20 performances were interrupted, but it was because he only had 5 defensive rebounds. He grabbed 11 offensive rebounds tonight, making 13 of 21 shots, plus 8  Made 3 free throws and scored 29 points and 16 rebounds.

    It was not easy for the Lakers to win this time, because the Bucks' Glenn Robinson went wild tonight, making 19 of 30 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 44 points and 6 assists.  Vin Baker scored 25 points and 8 rebounds, Ray Allen took advantage of the threat of Glenn Robinson and shot 7 of 11, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws to score 19 points. The Sonics once led the Lakers.  The team reaches 10 points.

    Although O'Neal chose to try the current style of play, he still had a grudge mentality. He just grabbed rebounds and second offense and didn't care about anything else.

    Then, with O'Neal working hard to grab offensive rebounds in regular time to slow down the situation, the Lakers' defense became effective in the final quarter and the offense went smoothly. They scored 31 to 19 in a single quarter and were still 9 points behind after three quarters.  In the case of a late comeback.

    Relying on O'Neal's 29 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks, Zhang Hao's 25 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Kenny Anderson's 17 points and 8 assists, Magic's 12 points and 6 assists, and Byron Scott's 8 points and 2 blocks.  With assists and Barkley's 11 points and 10 rebounds, the Lakers reversed the Bucks 127-124 and won 4 consecutive victories.

    ¡­¡­

    The November game ended. On November 30, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles and took a day off. The second game month came.

    After the first game month, each team played 14 to 17 games.

    Currently, the Bulls have 15 wins and 1 loss, tied for first place in the league with the Jazz. The Hawks have 14 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons have 13 wins and 4 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference. The Hornets have 12 wins and 5 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.  Four.

    The Heat and Knicks are getting better after experiencing the initial pain. The Heat are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with 10 wins and 5 losses. The Knicks, who lost to the Heat, are ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference with 11 wins and 6 losses.

    The Magic team collapsed without O'Neal. They are currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 9 wins and 7 losses. The duo of Juwan Howard and Webb finally showed their power. They are also ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference with 9 wins and 7 losses.

    Having poached many role players, coupled with the outstanding performance of other young and emerging teams, the Cavaliers, the strong team in the past few years, fell behind. They started with 8 wins and 8 losses, barely maintaining a 50% winning rate, and were in the competition for the playoffs.  of ranks.

    The Pacers thought they were just losing a point guard in Mark Jackson. The talk during the training camp media day was to compete for the championship. Then, they now know that Mark Jackson is the one who has allowed them to win the championship in the past two seasons.  The key to reaching 50 wins is the core of their rise.

    &nThe team's first offensive point, the player with the most shots, and due to greater consumption of singles, O'Neal's offensive rebounds dropped sharply, while Barkley and Jason Williams' offensive rebounds surged.

    Zhang Hao no longer shoots as well from outside the three-point line as he did in the previous games. After O'Neal's main attack, when the Sonics focused on guarding him, who used to take crazy shots at the airport, he was the first outside shot.  He did a very good job of reducing his actions and proactively taking on the task of containment.

    ??Looking at the playing time, except for the game where he almost won 4 times 5, O'Neal played 31 to 35 minutes in the other 4 games, and played 44 minutes against the Sonics.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out that the offensive rebounds decrease is normal

    In other words, this is just a matter of strategy. For O'Neal's physical fitness, this style of play, and opponents who are willing to give a pure meat shield like Jim McElvay a seven-year salary of $35 million, they have to build a meat shield.  To deal with his defensive treatment Under other conditions, O'Neal's style of rushing for offensive rebounds is actually easier when dealing with opponents who are not that strong.

    And when O'Neal needs to penetrate the opponent's inside line, he will focus on the attack

    There is no such thing as a slap in the face, from criticizing the Lakers for sacrificing O'Neal in order to praise Zhang Hao, to touting the Lakers' use of O'Neal as extremely correct. By the way, the attacks from "other media" did not affect the execution of the Lakers' strategy, etc.

    Anyway, O¡¯Neal was praised to the heavens!

    In the past 6 games, O'Neal has had 4 double-20s and his rebounding performance has exploded.

    Some people have always criticized him for his poor rebounding. Among the four major centers, except for O'Neal, and Ewing, who has always had bad legs and feet and likes to shoot from the outside, has never won the rebounding title.

    And Ewing's defensive rebounds are no less than O'Neal.

    This time, O'Neal proved with his strength that his rebounding ability is not bad. If he really focused all his energy on rebounding and secondary attacks, Rodman would not be his opponent!

    ¡°Reducing shots is also said to be to help the Lakers develop Zhang Hao and is willing to sacrifice

    In short, winning is king. After O'Neal adjusted his style of play, the Lakers won 6 consecutive games!

    Looking at the media¡¯s comments and recalling the past 6 games, O¡¯Neal is convinced!

    However, he feels that even if he fights like this, he is still very tired

 Chapter 220 220. Some rookies look so ordinary...

    After changing his playing style, he did feel more comfortable playing.

    He no longer needs to think so much. He only needs to use his brain when playing against top teams like the Sonics. At other times, he can do it as simply as he wants. When he is tired, he can get time to rest and let his teammates do the hard work.  Tired work.

    With his sense of rebounding and physical fitness, grabbing offensive rebounds only requires a little energy.

    After a few games, O'Neal had to admit in his heart that Zhang Hao knew how to use him.

    This is much easier than the way we played during the Magic era.

    However, I am still tired!

    In the past few games, he has really gone all out. Whether it is rebounding or playing as the main attack point, he has tried his best during the playing time. On the defensive end, he has also actively defended and defended from close range.  He worked very hard on the defense.

    ?Otherwise, the Lakers' defensive improvement will not be that big.

    According to the data compiled by the Lakers' editor, in their past 6 games, even if their defensive performance against the Sonics is not taken into account, their average defensive efficiency in these 6 games ranked sixth in the league during this period.  .

    Before, their defensive efficiency was 19th in the league, which was below the standard.

    He also wants to win, and he wants to verify whether the way Zhang Hao said he should use him is correct, and whether he can help the team win by playing this way.

    The result seems to work!  When playing against opponents who are not in the playoffs, as long as he does this well, the opponent will basically lose 30%. As long as he does this with all his strength, the opponent will lose at least half.

    The premise is that he goes all out.

    As long as he goes all out in these aspects and with his teammates, he will be a sure success.

    The reason why he continued to work so hard for so many games was because he wanted to see the media scolding Zhang Hao.

    It¡¯s that simple. He can¡¯t quarrel with himself. With Zhang Hao¡¯s character, he will definitely not quarrel with the media. Then after every game, watching Zhang Hao hiding from reporters, O¡¯Neal is so happy!

    To this end, he worked hard for many games, and in every game he deliberately put on a posture of "I'm wronged but I won't say it." He also avoided reporters after the game, trying not to brag with Barkley during the game.  fart.

    It¡¯s so stressful to hold it in, but it feels so good to hold it in!

    But now, the trend has changed. The media began to praise O'Neal for his willingness to sacrifice and reduce his own autonomy, and stopped scolding Zhang Hao

    O¡¯Neal¡¯s energy to prove Zhang Hao was wrong, which later turned into feeling good, also dissipated a lot.

    "When I'm playing against a weak team, I don't have to work so hard to grab rebounds, right? Isn't there the giant Jason? That damn fat guy Barkley is so lazy, I'm ashamed to be with him!"

    There is no need to play twice in each quarter with the regular number of attacks, right?  The magician can't be beaten, and the second-year player's skills are monotonous. Hey, isn't there boss Kenny?  Seniors are there to rely on!

    To protect the rim, I just need to guard the basket, right?  It¡¯s not necessary to make up for the short and medium distances¡­¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to work so hard when you encounter a powerful center, right?

    Giving my teammates more opportunities to perform is what the best center in the world like me should do. Yes, just use my strength against those championship opponents.

    "Other times, I just watch the fight, knock out the threats, let them come, catch the ball and dunk, and shoot more than a dozen times per game. Shooting more than 20 times is really fatal"

    ¡°You may not be able to beat him in playing basketball, nor can you quarrel with him. Even in winning games, he is better No!

    I just can¡¯t stand him!  I will definitely find an opportunity!

    "It's so tiring to look for opportunities, so let's take a good rest first, I'm so tired these days"

    ¡­¡­

    Winning can always offset most of the negative things.

    For example, negative comments from the media.

    If he loses, Zhang Hao will also feel unhappy with the media's comments, but winning during this time is purely for fun.

    Compared with those negative things, watching O'Neal do the simplest things seriously like an invincible performance when facing most insiders, it is so refreshing to have such a teammate!

    Also, more than a month after the start of the new season, Zhang Hao has clearly felt his improvement.

    ¡°¡­

    Skills: 76 for ball control, 79 for passing, 92 for catch and shoot, 79 for catch-and-turn jump shot, 76 for post-up jump shot, 77 for cutting, 51 for jumping steps, 76 for turning, and 58 for post-up skills"

    Ball control, cutting, and turning have all improved significantly in actual combat!

    Actual combat is the way to go!

    &nWhen the 76ers played the Bulls in September, Iverson shook off the video of Jordan's mid-range jumper.

    Although Iverson was guarded by Jordan for 4 of 13 in the game and was forced to shoot a three-pointer, this shot made Iverson popular at the beginning of his rookie season.

    After studying Iverson¡¯s performance in the first month of his rookie season, Zhang Hao was surprised to find that Iverson¡¯s three-point shooting was quite good!

    Thirty-five point six percent three-point shooting percentage, averaging 1.8 shots per game!

    He has been shooting a lot this season. Especially after O'Neal came back, he shot 8-9 times in many consecutive games. He has played 19 games so far, averaging 5.9 three-pointers and 1.9 hits per game.  Higher than Iverson, but his 32% three-point shooting percentage is not as good as Iverson.

    But Zhang Hao remembered that Iverson often had a three-point shooting percentage of more than 20% in subsequent seasons

    "It's like the senior year of high school is the peak period of knowledge accumulation. In the freshman year, you still know about astronomy but not geography. In the sophomore, junior and senior years, it becomes more and more useless. It seems that Georgetown University is a good school!"

    Just when Zhang Hao thought of Wang Zhizhi for some reason, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, it was Jason Williams.

    When this guy comes, Zhang Hao will know that there is probably some gossip again.

    "Akers, that rookie on the 76ers team said he wanted to challenge you and said he was better than you!"

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao, the strongest rookie in the 1995 class, and Allen Iverson, who can basically tell that his strength is a little higher than other rookies in the same class after one month of playing in the 1996 class, are going to play against each other. It is a popular match.

    On the afternoon of November 4th, when Zhang Hao was playing a game with Kenny Anderson, Allen Iverson was asked in an interview what he thought of Zhang Hao, the strongest player in the 1995 class and a first-team selection in his rookie season.  At the time, Iverson replied: "Zhang is one of the best rookies in NBA history. I also hope to get the same evaluation as him. I feel that I am no worse than anyone else."

    When asked about the record gap between his rookie season and Zhang Hao's Lakers, Iverson replied: "You must admit that there is a gap between our lineup and the lineup he had in his rookie season. The talents in our team are still very young.  .¡±

    Iverson is not a fool. Only fools take the initiative to offend people without meeting or interacting with him.

    However, Iverson is still a rookie and fell into the trap without knowing it.

    When asked if he could do better if he had a lineup as strong as Zhang Hao's rookie season, Iverson confidently replied: "Of course, if I have the chance, I believe I can do better."

    People, it¡¯s easy to get high. Iverson got high as he talked and added: ¡°If I lead the team to 65 wins, then I don¡¯t think I will stop in the second round.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    After Iverson¡¯s interview was broadcast on the news program on the evening of the 4th, it immediately triggered a violent response.

    The next morning, the media swarmed to the 76ers¡¯ home court to get Zhang Hao¡¯s response.

    Zhang Hao originally didn¡¯t want to talk about it, but when he saw the mission ¡°Welcome Ceremony for the Rookie Number One Pick¡± triggered last night

    After the pre-match training in the morning, Zhang Hao accepted an interview with the media and answered when asked by the media¡ª¡ª

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand why some rookies can be so confident even though they look so ordinary.¡±

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 221 221. Why is your speed so ordinary?

    At 5:10 in the evening, Zhang Hao and his teammates entered the home stadium of the 76ers.

    When he came on the stage, he heard crazy boos and yells, and Zhang Hao felt that he had offended fans in a city.

    But that¡¯s not important.

    "If you offend someone, you'll be offended. We have to play this game well tonight. We can't offend anyone and lose face."

    "A welcome ceremony for the rookie champion:

    Goal: Special signing player Zhang Hao needs to sanction Allen Iverson, the 1996 No. 1 pick who made arrogant remarks during the game.

    Reward: Bronze Medal: King of Cross Steps.  "

    Looking at this mission, in terms of rewards Zhang Hao felt mixed.

    I do n¡¯t mention how sanctions are counted. What is the use of this medal?

    Iverson is known as the "Butterfly Walk" among Chinese fans. If he looks at someone and shakes others away he is more likely to break his own leg first.

    However, Zhang Hao is very interested in sanctioning Iverson.

    There is no other reason. It may be that I have contracted the bad habits of this era. When faced with talented rookies, I always want to bully them.

    After feeling that he had such thoughts, Zhang Hao felt a trace of sadness in his heart - people will always live in the way they hate the most at the beginning.

    But if you really succeed in bullying Iverson, it will feel good just thinking about it.

    Suddenly, the boos and curses directed at him stopped and turned into crazy cheers!

    Zhang Hao looked towards the home team's tunnel. The 76ers' substitute players were already standing. Iverson was the first to run out of the tunnel.

    coming!

    Ordinary rookie Allen Iverson!

    "Allen Iverson, 21 years old, height 183 cm (?), weight 73 kg, ability evaluation 85, offense 91, defense 61, three-pointer 86, mid-range shot 87, layup 92, speed 98, strength 71,  Jumping 97, physical strength 99"

    The fastest man in the league has been replaced!  Faster than Damon Stoudemire!

    Looking at Iverson¡¯s speed evaluation, Zhang Hao felt like he was being challenged by a fast person?

    In terms of strength, Iverson is a little better than Damon Stoudemire in his rookie season, and is one of the strongest rookies of Zhang Hao's generation.

    Zhang Hao estimates that among the three rookies from 1994 to 1996, Grant Hill will definitely be better than Iverson in his rookie year.

    ? followed by Jerry Stackhouse, Campbell, Clarence Witherspoon, and Derek Coleman.

    True-Genius gathers!

    Zhang Hao looked at the details of the five starting players on the opposite side. Except for Campbell, who is a customized center, every other starting player on the 76ers team is a talented player.

    Jerry Stackhouse, who has an ability evaluation of 83, is in the same class as Zhang Hao.

    Derrick Coleman, who has an ability evaluation of 88, was the No. 1 pick in 1990. His offensive skills were extremely comprehensive, but he began to decline at the age of 29. His weight of 116 kilograms was no more than what Zhang Hao saw after November 1994.  The updated weight is 10kg heavier.

    Clarence Witherspoon, a talented forward in 1992, averaged 18+10 per game in his sophomore year. He was not injured or sick, but his data began to decline since last season because the 76ers had Stackhouse.  , this year has further declined, averaging only 12 points, 8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. The 76ers have added rookie Iverson and the returning Coleman

    From the perspective of the lineup, the 76ers need to be talented and talented, they need to have stars in their playing years, and they need experienced veterans and experienced veterans.

    However, with a record of 3 wins and 14 losses, it is second to last in the Eastern Conference.

    Facts have proved that no matter how talented a bad team seems to be, it is actually in vain!

    After the players from the two teams entered the stadium, Kenny Anderson and Coleman went to the technical table to apply magnesium powder at the same time, looking at each other with disgust.

    I think back then, the two were selected into the 1994 All-Star Eastern Conference starting lineup, but they fell apart the next year.

    Iverson felt Zhang Hao¡¯s appraising eyes

    "I want you to know that I am definitely not an ordinary rookie!"

    Iverson felt humiliated when he thought of this adjective.

    He has been teammates with another Chinese player Wang Zhizhi for a year. He has a good sense of Wang Zhizhi. He is a very low-key and diligent player. From the news he has seen before, Zhang Hao is also a "gentleman", but he did not expect that  The other party's comments about him were so hurtful!

    Stackhouse stared at Zhang Hao fiercely. He was beaten all the time during the match last year. This year Anyway, he stared at Zhang Hao fiercely first.

    There was no hatred on Campbell's side. He was originally a kind-hearted person, but he was only depressed about one thing - he used to beThe impression Iverson brings to people, and he can really limit it very well.

    When he answered that he was concerned about limiting Iverson at his peak, his answer was - defense does not necessarily have to completely prevent the opponent, but rather make the opponent make worse choices.

    This is how Zhang Hao defended himself tonight.

    This time Iverson rushed to the basket and avoided the block with two hands. He was not blocked, but he shot a rebound across the bridge!  Barkley protects the defensive rebounds!

    Campbell had already reached the free throw line when Iverson broke in. He had the ability to shoot there, but the pass was not passed, so Campbell retreated immediately when Iverson took off.

    The 76ers players usually don't defend very hard. Campbell and Clarence Witherspoon work hard and defend effectively. Iverson defends actively, but the effect can only be said to rely on physical impact.  His speed and speed are not bad. After all, he won the Big East Conference's Best Defensive Player in his freshman season, but he loves gambling steals and often loses position.

    As for the substitutesthe substitutes who have played in bad teams for many years have no motivation to defend at all.

    ??And Campbell and Clarence Witherspoon were often frustrated by their teammates' defense, and they got mixed up in the game.

    But tonight when we play the Lakers, Stackhouse and Coleman are equally active in retreating!

    ? One can¡¯t stand Zhang Hao, who is in the same class, and the other is competing with Kenny Anderson.

    Campbell took the lead in retreating through the center line. The Lakers really had no chance to counterattack and chose to fall into a positional battle. Kenny Anderson received a pass from Barkley and advanced to the frontcourt.

    When Kenny Anderson reaches the frontcourt, he wants to vomit blood

    Facing Campbell's defense, O'Neal chose to give up and stood outside the left side of the three-second zone leaning against Campbell, with no intention of asking for the ball.

    ?? Barkley is in the middle distance on the right side of the three-second zone, with a mid-range shot. He is so confident that O'Neal is back and can still find his position.

    BarkleyKenny Anderson is used to it, but what is the big fat guy going to do?  Become an enhanced version of Fatty?

    Suppressing the urge to curse, Kenny Anderson carefully protected the ball. The rookie No. 1 pick on the opposite side was full of defensive impact.

    ? ?Obviously his height and weight are more advantageous, but Kenny Anderson feels that his strength is not as good as the opposite rookie.

    It¡¯s not that Iverson¡¯s strength is great, but at the same weight and size, Iverson¡¯s strength is really outstanding. For a short guard like Kenny Anderson who weighs 78 kilograms, his strength is not  He is still just the opponent of the rookie Iverson. After all, Iverson will be 21 years old when he enters the NBA.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?? out of ??Kenny Anderson suddenly remembered that there is another person!

    He gestured decisively towards Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao was shocked when he saw that O'Neal did not show the "I want to break the doubt" behavior when facing Campbell, and suddenly saw Kenny Anderson gesturing What a fuss!

    What are these three big brothers going to do!

    Although the opponent is only second to last in the Eastern Conference, don¡¯t go too far!

    I would like to think so, but when the point guard makes tactical gestures, as a player without the ball, he can only go between the 45-degree angle on the left side of the three-point line and the top arc, relying on the opponent to ask for the ball.

    Coleman ran out after Zhang Hao. Coleman didn't want to fight with Barkley. Clarence Witherspoon is really a talented player. He is 198 centimeters tall and weighs 113 kilograms. In 1992  After the 76ers traded away Barkley in the summer, they selected Clarence Witherspoon because he looked like Barkley, with a big butt and a short neck

    Zhang Hao leaned against Coleman, looking like he was going to ask for the ball from outside the three-point line. Suddenly, Zhang Hao turned around and stepped around Coleman with one foot, and it was his left foot, and he used his iron elbow to fight.  Coleman was stuck. When Zhang Hao completed the turn with his iron elbow, Kenny Anderson's pass came just in time. Just when Zhang Hao was about to break through at speed, suddenly, there was a collision from behind. Zhang Hao jumped out and almost  He was thrown to pieces, but luckily he stood firm and protected his handsome face.

    Coleman couldn't turn around. He knew that his speed could not keep up with Zhang Hao, so he directly fouled. Moreover, as a nicknamed bad-boy, his foul action was quite rough, and he threw his arm directly on Zhang Hao!

    The referee¡¯s whistle blew and Derek Coleman committed a defensive foul!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 222 222. Welcome to the NBA

    Coleman¡¯s action seemed like he couldn¡¯t help but push Zhang Hao, but the action was big.

    Based on Coleman¡¯s impression, it¡¯s normal for him to make big fouls.

    Zhang Hao glanced at Coleman, but there was no attack.

    The Lakers continue to attack with sideline balls.

    The ball was released and the attack time returned to 24 seconds.

    Kenny Anderson originally wanted to do it by himself first to prevent Zhang Hao from being affected by Coleman's rough defensive actions.

    Who would have known that as soon as he received the serve and protected the ball, he saw Zhang Hao going to the low post, and O'Neal even moved to the right side of the three-second zone.

    Zhang Hao directly pressed Coleman with his arms to ask for the ball!  Coleman also acted very roughly, pushing Zhang Hao with his arm, and the two were locked in a fierce position in the low post.

    What¡¯s surprising is that Zhang Hao didn¡¯t lag behind Coleman, who looked so fat!

    Coleman gave Zhang Hao an arm just now, but Zhang Hao didn¡¯t respond. Coleman thought the other person was scared, but he didn¡¯t expect that the other person was a ruthless person who didn¡¯t say much!

    Is this a stuck position?  Kenny Anderson saw Zhang Hao pressing Coleman in the low post and passed the ball over.

    When Zhang Hao received the ball, Coleman moved even more!  I just wanted to use my arms to lift Zhang Hao away.

    But just when Coleman raised his elbow to push towards Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao stepped down from his horse, lowered his center of gravity, turned around with his arms raised, and hit Coleman's raised left arm with his elbow

    Coleman was knocked over by Zhang Hao's arm!

    Zhang Hao got up and threw

    ¡°Beep beep beep beep¡­¡±

    The referee immediately blew the whistle and made a boxing action. Zhang Hao committed an offensive foul and hit someone with the ball!

    Players from both teams rushed forward immediately after Zhang Hao¡¯s elbow, and two assistant referees also rushed forward.

    This is going to be a fight!

    When Zhang Hao was fouled just now, he didn¡¯t react at all. Who knew he was waiting for revenge!

    This gentlemanly demeanor is simply amazing!

    For the 76ers, it is purely a matter of team face. Coleman is not liked by the 76ers, but the opponent is the Lakers. With so many enemies, they must share the same hatred.

    On the Lakers side, Barkley, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, and even O'Neal are all worried about Coleman going berserk.

    O'Neal's idea is very simple - without Zhang Hao, I will not be able to fish happily!

    They are not afraid of a fight. What they are afraid of is that Zhang Hao, who looks so weak, will be beaten by Coleman, a famous bad boy

    It¡¯s justtoo weak?  Seeing Coleman being pushed out of the baseline, the teammates surrounding Zhang Hao fell into deep thought

    But Coleman, who was knocked over, was stunned for a moment at first. If he hadn't thought about raising his elbow to knock Zhang Hao over just now, Zhang Hao's elbow was obviously aimed at his head!

    My arms are all numb!  That guy wants to beat him to death!

    When the person involved was in shock and was about to run away, the referee had already separated the two teams.

    Zhang Hao was warned and ran back toward the backcourt.

    Since it didn¡¯t start a fight, the referee thought it was a trivial matter and didn¡¯t even need to give a technical foul.

    Looking at Coleman, whose expression was distorted with anger after being helped up, all the players on the 76ers team, except Campbell, were shocked by Zhang Hao's elbow just now.

    Campbell has personally seen the scene where Zhang Hao and Ma Long choked each other, but no one else has seen it with their own eyes!

    Iverson saw Zhang Hao being roughly fouled by Coleman and immediately hit him with an elbow. Even though he was not a good boy, he was frightened by Zhang Hao.

    Not only is he a great player, he is also a ruthless person!

    The 76ers attacked. After Iverson advanced to the frontcourt, he found that the person guarding him had become Doug Christie. He took it back. When Coleman entered the three-point line, Zhang Hao immediately moved toward Coleman.  .

    Iverson?

    Who cares, he¡¯s just a rookie, let him go if you get some points.

    I didn¡¯t care about the medal of ¡°King of Cross Steps¡± in the first place, but Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t want to make Coleman feel comfortable now!

    Coleman saw that it was Zhang Hao who was guarding him. If the elbow had not happened immediately, it would have passed. This is an unspoken rule on the court. It would have been equal to an elbow exchange before.

    Now the elbow is directly applied, which is just looking for a fight. After a moment of confusion, Coleman calmed down and looked at Barkley, O'Neal, and this second-year genius with extremely dark hands

    Coleman and Zhang Hao entangled themselves in the low post and continued to get stuck, asking for the ball from Iverson!

    Coleman¡¯s offensive moves are wild, Zhang Hao¡¯s defenseThe ball was dynamically given to Stackhouse.

    But after returning from the timeout, the Lakers¡¯ lineup was Zhang Hao, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Magic, and O¡¯Neal.

    The one who defends Stackhouse has become Doug Christie!

    The 76ers' highly anticipated Stackhouse, the No. 3 pick in the 1995 class, and Iverson, the No. 1 pick in the 1996 class, both have excellent physical strength and can throw more than thirty times in a game.  Players who play the entire game.

    Since then, the two of them began a blacksmithing journey

    Zhang Hao became ruthless. Although he did not let O'Neal put away his idea of ????putting away his paddling, eating cakes, and rushing to grab offensive rebounds and enjoy his life, O'Neal's defensive enthusiasm was still stimulated. Although he was still unwilling to leave the three-second zone, he did a good job of protecting the frame.  very good.

    Zhang Hao and Doug Christie jointly blocked the mid- and long-range shots of Iverson and Stackhouse. In the first half, they gave the two high-ranking rookies a painful memory!

    Originally, the strength gap between the two teams was extremely huge. O'Neal, who wanted to completely take advantage of the situation, was still very serious about eating cakes, grabbing offensive rebounds, and protecting the frame. Moreover, Zhang Hao, O'Neal, and Doug Christie were in the first half.  The game was almost full. O'Neal only rested for 4 minutes in the second quarter before being replaced as a rim protector. Zhang Hao played the entire first half, and Doug Christie only rested for 5 minutes at the end of the second quarter.

    In the first quarter, the Lakers led 32-11 by 21 points. In the second quarter, the Lakers scored 26-15.

    After halftime, the Lakers led 58-26, leading the 76ers, the second-last team in the Eastern Conference, by 32 points!

    The entire second half became garbage time!

    ¡­¡­

    After playing 20 minutes, he made 7 of 9 shots, including two tip-ins, and scored 15 points, 1 of 4 free throws, 1 assist and 2 blocks. O'Neal sat on the sidelines and watched Magic and Barkley,  Kenny Anderson and the three came on the field to play with his substitute teammates. It was really fun.

    He felt Barkley's happiness.

    Barkley still needs to play for a while to maintain his physical condition. Although Del Harris has despaired of Barkley, Barkley must play for about 20 minutes in each game to maintain his competitive state.

    But after Barkley came on the court, he saw Coleman playing very hard to vent his anger on the little boss.

    Zhang Hao was also replaced. He scored 13 points in the first quarter and 8 points in the second quarter. He scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, and clocked out at halftime.

    After Barkley played about 10 minutes in the third quarter and was replaced, Magic was also replaced at the end of the third quarter.

    Because Barkley was unhappy when he saw O'Neal sitting lazily in the third quarter, he went up to fight Coleman who was not replaced for the entire first half and only got another chance in the third quarter, even though Iverson  Playing much better without Zhang Hao's defense, and playing very hard.

    However, in the third quarter, the point difference not only did not narrow, but also widened!

    After three quarters, the Lakers led the 76ers by 41 points 94 to 53 entering the final quarter.

    In the last quarter, the 76ers lost all their main players. They completely surrendered and stopped struggling at all!

    In the fourth quarter, both teams sent players at the end of the bench. Iverson leaned on the technical stage, feeling like he was having a nightmare tonight!

    He originally thought that he would be targeted by Zhang Hao or the Lakers, but no, the opponent just used a good strategy to defend him and almost ignored him.

    The opposing superstars only targeted Coleman, almost ignoring him and just doing what they should do on defense.

    And his team was stepped on and rubbed by the opponent!

    Just when Iverson was stunned, a person appeared next to him. Iverson looked up at that cold handsome face and smiled!

    Zhang Hao looked down at Iverson and smiled: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 223 223. A magic number

    How does it feel when the devil smiles at you?

    Iverson felt it!

    This junior, who is one and a half years younger than him, has a good-looking face that is a bit young and cold, as if he doesn¡¯t care about the world.

    But in fact, it¡¯s a devil!

    After saying a belated hello, Zhang Hao returned to the bench and sat down, waiting for the game to end.

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s back, at least for this moment, Iverson felt like he was just an ordinary basketball player

    The 76ers threw a long three-pointer in the last two seconds in an attempt to narrow the gap. However, the Lakers came to the conclusion in the chat later that Zhang Hao was fouled by Coleman at the beginning.  After a big loss, the collective went berserk, just to defend.

    The 76ers are really sorry for their seemingly outstanding talent. It feels like the Timberwolves and Kings 20 years later. Everyone looks good and has good statistics, but when it comes time to score, they can't count on them.  .

    In the end, the score was fixed at 129 to 71. The Lakers slaughtered the 76ers with a 58-point difference, winning 6 consecutive victories and improving their record to 15 wins and 4 losses!

    When the final whistle sounded and the 76ers substitute guard's super-long three-pointer bounced off the backboard, subtitles suddenly popped up in front of Zhang Hao's eyes.

    "A welcome ceremony for the rookie champion:

    Goal: Special signing player Zhang Hao needs to sanction Allen Iverson, the 1996 No. 1 pick who made arrogant remarks during the game.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Bronze Medal Cross Step King.

    Because the hidden mission conditions of massacring the opponent¡¯s core player wearing No. 3 jersey and massacring a score difference of 58 points were met, the mission: digital imprint was triggered.  "

    ¡°Digital imprinting:

    Goal: The hosts need to find a way for fans to connect Iverson to the 58-point deficit at any time.

    Reward: Cross-step change-over top training improvement card.  "

    "This, this, this, this"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes widened!

    Originally, he felt that this medal was useless, because he felt that it would be a blessing if his ball control could be improved to 80. Of course, he has a first-class edge ball control of 80. With his height, it is definitely enough.

    But with the cross-step thing, he felt that it could really break his legs.

    But he didn't expect that his teammates actually beat the opponent 35 to 18 in the final quarter, which was the largest single-quarter point difference in the game. By coincidence, he killed the opponent by 58 points, and he was still satisfied.  Understand the conditions for triggering hidden tasks!

    ??The training improvement card means that you can definitely learn it, and as long as you complete enough training, you can definitely learn it. The time when the mid-range shooting improved by leaps and bounds, it was a time when he dreamed of making another shot.

    I didn¡¯t expect to end up here!

    take!

    Definitely have to get it!

    But how to get it?

    Suddenly, a lightbulb that no one could see appeared above Zhang Hao's head, and it turned on!

    Just when I thought of paying attention, reporters gathered around me.

    Post-game reporter for Time Warner Cable Sports.

    When asked if he had anything to say about this game, Zhang Hao had no intention of answering. He was still thinking about how to operate it, so he responded casually: "What's there to say about this kind of game? Well the flying squirrel from the north is better."  .¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The much-anticipated battle between the strongest players from the 1995 and 1996 classes, the result was shocking.

    52 points of mad slaughter!

    Whether they are fans who watched the live broadcast of the Lakers vs. 76ers game or fans who only watched the score, they all felt that Zhang Hao was too ruthless!

    Just by seeing this point difference, you can feel how much of a gentleman the No. 8 player in Los Angeles is.

    If you can go to death, you will never stop!

    The 58-point difference ranks at the forefront in the entire NBA history.

    The first place was when the Cavaliers slaughtered the Heat with 68 points in December 1991, the second place was when the Lakers slaughtered the Warriors with 63 points in March 1972, the third place was when the Warriors slaughtered the Kings with 62 points in November 1991, and the third place was  It was March 1977 when the Warriors slaughtered the Pacers by 59 points.

    The Lakers slaughtered the 76ers by 58 points, surpassing the 56-point difference created by the Lakers themselves in the 1966 Western Conference Finals when they slaughtered the Pistons 144-88, ranking fourth in the NBA's historical point difference list!

    Many people feel regretful that the Lakers can occupy the top three spots in the killing list with just 1 point.

    And more people sympathize with the 76ers, who they offend, the gentleman who goes berserk when he sees a young high-ranking player.

    Jordan was speechless when he saw this point difference

    But the Lakers' efforts are only compared to other teams that are at the bottom of the league, such as the Vancouver Grizzlies, while the Celtics players really want to defeat the weak.

    And, the Celtics performed very well tonight!  At the end of the half, Anthony Walker scored 9 points in a row and entered the intermission with a one-point lead over the Lakers 54-53.

    By the third quarter, the Celtics players became more and more courageous. After three quarters, the Lakers trailed the Celtics by 3 points, 78-81!

    The Lakers need to be serious. Just when O'Neal was preparing to step forward to save the team in the final quarter, Celtics head coach M.L. Kyle took the initiative to replace all the players who played well and asked who played the worst.  Whoever is playing poorly suddenly plays well and is immediately replaced.

    Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Magic, O'Neal, Barkley and others who had been lazy for three quarters just felt that they were losing face because they were still 1-17 behind the last team in the third quarter, so they prepared to work hard, but they did not expect to encounter this situation.  !

    They clearly felt like they had done nothing, but they seemed to have done something. The Celtics, who averaged 27 points in each quarter in the first three quarters, only scored 9 points in the final quarter!

    103 to 90, the Lakers scored 25 to 9 in the final quarter, reversed the Celtics, and won 7 consecutive victories!

    In his graduation season, when Duncan will definitely participate in the draft, there are a lot of bad teams. The Western Conference is so bad that they are ranked seventh with less than 50% winning percentage. The Celtics, who have been waiting for Duncan for two years,  This year I tried my best to lose!

    ¡­¡­

    It is true that the news about Duncan this year is not as much as last year, but Zhang Hao felt from another angle how much Duncan drove the management of weak NBA teams crazy.

    When playing the 76ers, the 76ers coach didn't think about winning, he just thought about how to give Iverson better singles opportunities and train Iverson's singles ability.

    The Celtics simply don¡¯t care whether they train their players or not, they just want to lose

    Sometimes this happens. Zhang Hao is really not sure which team will eventually get the No. 1 pick. After all, history has changed so much, which also makes him curious.

    The day after the game against the Celtics, the Lakers flew to Detroit.

    Next, we will face a truly powerful enemy.

    The Pistons team has completed its reconstruction!

    So far this season, the Pistons have a record of 13 wins and 6 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference!

    When he arrived in Detroit, Zhang Hao flipped through the local news about the Pistons. There was no suspense that Grant Hill, the most popular player, dominated the sports news section.

    But there is another person whose name is mentioned repeatedly - Alan Houston.

    Alan Houston became a traitor in the eyes of Detroiters. He left the team that trained him because of money.

    Zhang Hao was non-committal about this statement, but he did think that what the local media said was quite reasonable - if Alan Houston did not leave, the Pistons would be even stronger!

    This makes Zhang Hao regretful. If Grant Hill had Alan Houston, who has improved again, his performance might really be better, and he might not be used so harshly by the Pistons.

    The most troublesome thing about coming to Detroit is that you can't go out casually. Zhang Hao didn't go to coach Collins to catch up with the past. He can see him tomorrow.

    After staying in the hotel and playing games all afternoon, Zhang Hao saw the news about Duncan in the evening

    "I bet, Duncan has started his volute background journey now?"

    In the game between Duke University and Wake Forest University that started at 2 p.m., Duke University's talented rising star Kobe Bryant rode Wake Forest University's nba quasi-number one pick Tim Duncan to complete the dunk and became Duke University.  News cover after the 82-75 victory over Wake Forest!

    Duncan¡¯s performance in this game was still outstanding, with 24 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, constantly setting records in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Now, every time he plays a game, he is setting records in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

    However, Zhang Hao saw in the news that Kobe's performance after entering college was also very good. Kobe has the ability to become a substitute player for an NBA team after entering the NBA. In the 9 games of the new season, he averaged 20.9 points per game. 7  With 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 steals, he became the first candidate for the Atlantic Coast Conference's Rookie of the Year award!

    Before, Zhang Hao never noticed that Duncan and Kobe were in an alliance, but now that the two are fighting against each other, he realizes it!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 224 224. Are you teaching me how to do things?

    A humble gentleman, as gentle as jade.

    Chatting with Grant Hill, Zhang Hao felt that in the world of basketball players, no one could interpret the word gentle as jade better than the man in front of him.

    Having played in the NBA for a long time, Zhang Hao has a better understanding of Grant Hill, one of the three most popular young players today.

    Grant Hill¡¯s father, Calvin Hill, is a famous football player who won the NFL Rookie of the Year award in 1969.

    His mother was a college roommate of the current First Lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton. She has a charitable foundation in New York and was one of the main sponsors when the current president ran for office.

    When he was drafted by the Pistons with the third overall pick, the President of the United States gave him a mobile phone. When he won the Rookie of the Year award, the President of the United States, who had seen the news earlier than his agent, called him and told him  he.

    The key player is really good at playing. This season is just the beginning of Grant Hill's junior season. He has tied Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird, becoming the only three players in NBA history who can do this.  One of the players who completed 3,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 1,000 assists in 200 games. Even Jordan and Magic couldn't accomplish this.

    "Grant Hill, 24 years old, 203 cm, 102 kg, ability evaluation 94, offense 91, defense 90, rebounds 89, passing 90, speed 91, strength 88, jumping 92, physical strength 96

    So far this season, he has averaged 22 points, 9.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.3%"

    What a big headache!

    Before the game, Zhang Hao chatted with Grant Hill and the opposite Twins coaching staff.

    It was a pleasure to chat with my mentor, Grant Hill, a gentle senior.

    ??????????????? But looking at Grant Hill¡¯s evaluation of his ability, and seeing how Grant Hill and the Pistons who lost Alan Houston can still start like this, basically guaranteeing 50 wins, it¡¯s really a big problem!

    It shouldn¡¯t be like this, they have Barkley and O¡¯Neal!

    However, at first, he was forced to accept Barkley's paddling, and now, he actively lets O'Neal paddle. The key is that O'Neal accepted it. In the previous two games against the 76ers and Celtics, O'Neal became lazier each time.

    It¡¯s not because I¡¯m lazy because I¡¯m playing against a weak team. It¡¯s the same today, I¡¯m a full hour late for the warm-up!

    In order to reduce the risk of injury, Barkley warms up diligently, okay?

    Thinking about it makes me feel hopeless, but it was Zhang who took the initiative to let O'Neal paddle. This is very disappointing.

    Life is like this, there is always a big difference between expectations and actual conditions.

    What else can be done?  Hit it!

    Playing against Grant Hill, Zhang Hao was quite motivated.

    In addition to Grant Hill, the players that the Pistons paid attention to Zhang Hao include Joe Dumars, the only good guy in the former Bad Boys, and Theo Ratliff, who was in the same class as him.

    After Joe Dumars turned one year older, his performance has improved a lot. He has averaged 15.2 points and 4.4 assists per game since the start of the season. Compared to last season, when he averaged 10.8 points and 4 assists per game as a point guard, his performance is much better. His ability evaluation is 83.  , an offensive rating of 80 and a defensive rating of 87, both much better than last season.

    When Zhang Hao saw the difference in performance between the 32-year-old Joe Dumars last season and the 33-year-old this season, he understood why Pistons fans hated Alan Houston so much. The reason was surprisingly simple - Joe Dumars returned to scoring.  At the guard position, speed will not be compromised on both offense and defense.

    In the previous season of 1994-95, Joe Dumars averaged 18.1 points and 5.5 assists per game. Last season, in order to make room for Alan Houston in the starting position, Joe Dumars played point guard. Although he has comprehensive skills and can  He was competent as a point guard, but he was just an ordinary starter. He returned to the shooting guard position and became a star player again.

    However, Zhang Hao supported Alan-Houston's team change. The salary difference was 4.6 million per year. The final contract given by the Pistons was only 27 million US dollars for 5 years, while the Knicks were 50 million US dollars for 5 years.

    To make players loyal, they must at least give them the same price as others. Even if they are not as wealthy as the Knicks, they should at least give them a contract that initially costs 6 million to 8 million, instead of Henry Thomas telling the Pistons not to renew his contract.  The contract was thrown out, and in the end he was only given $5.4 million a year.

    In terms of shooting guard, the Lakers have no advantage, and there is also a center.

    Ratliff has made great progress on the defensive end since he was in his second year!

    "Theo Ratliff, 23 years old, 208 cm, 110 kg, ability evaluation 72, offense 61, defense 86 physical strength 79"

    Although the playing time is still not much, the physical strength of 79 is really too poor!

    Athletic ability, height and wingspan are quite good, but the physical strength is really bad. I can only hit 20 or so in a game.?Very deep, Addis Thorpe got the rebound and immediately pushed forward, passing to Lynch Hunter on the way.

    Lynch - After halftime, he separated from the right sideline. Grant Hill, who was struggling to get down quickly, reached the front three-point line earlier than Lynch Hunter, received the ball and went straight to the basket!

    O'Neal had already taken it back. Grant Hill made an emergency stop in the mid-range. After attracting Zhang Hao and Barkley's defense, he passed the ball to Joe Dumas who followed to the free throw line. Joe Dumas made a free throw.  Line jumper hit!

    Very beautiful counterattack coordination!

    The Pistons have proven very well that they do have the potential to win 50 or even 55 wins!

    Although Alan Houston is missing, their coordination proficiency and tacit understanding are stronger than the Lakers, who are still in the exploratory stage.

    Fortunately, the Lakers players have strong self-confidence, and the game has just begun and is not affected.

    After Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, he originally thought about letting Zhang Hao play again. He had the opportunity just now, but he didn't make the shot.

    Although the next shot may not go in, Grant Hill defended the turnaround jumper very well, and Zhang Hao was not yet proficient in turning around, but he still had to make more attempts.

    Who knew that O'Neal would take the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post this time!

    Zhang Hao naturally pulled away immediately and agreed that if O'Neal wants the ball, he will definitely give it to him.

    Fatty, you have to coax well, anyway, the singles are so strong.

    O'Neal received the ball, and before the double attack was in place, he took a sudden step into the ball and stepped directly into the three-second zone.

    O¡¯Neal grasped the details of singles very well!  It may seem like a no-brainer, but the work is actually very detailed!

    After Addis Thorpe's double attack was in place, O'Neal did not directly force himself up, but turned right, walked to the baseline, stuck Ratliff, and pushed the ball to the backboard with his right hand

    Hit with the board!

    Although Ratliff is already a top-notch defensive center, averaging 1.8 blocks in 17 minutes per game. Once his physical strength is improved, he can compete for the block leader, but in O'Neal, even if he doesn't play hard,  He can bully the future shot-blocking king who is still young even if he plays small tricks.

    ???????????????????????? This detailed work makes Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes watery just looking at it!

    The attack he didn't do well just now was done by O'Neal casually!

    O'Neal retreated immediately after scoring the goal. The rest of the Lakers were also wary of the Pistons' fast break, which seemed to be only faster than Grant Hill but had good teamwork, and quickly retreated.

    The Pistons did not have good fast break opportunities and could not afford fast breaks to avoid being counterattacked by the Lakers. Lynch Hunter advanced steadily. After reaching the frontcourt, he used Grant Hill's breakthrough as the starting point to give Addis-  Thorpe created a baseline jump shot opportunity, and Barkley came to help Zhang Hao block Grant Hill.

    The Lakers were lucky this time. Edith Thorpe missed a mid-range shot. Ratliff used his wingspan to poke the ball out of bounds without a rebound opportunity, preventing O'Neal from getting the rebound.  Kenny Anderson fights back!

    It can be seen from the details that the Pistons are well prepared and their strength is really improved compared to last season.

    Continuing to fall into a positional battle, Zhang Hao originally wanted to watch O'Neal play in singles, but O'Neal left the low post on the left again.

    Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment

    "Is this a demonstration for me? Are you asking me to fight?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 225 225. What is self-inflicted?

    Zhang Hao continued to rely on Grant Hill to ask for the ball. This time the position was closer to the basket than the last time.

    Grant Hill guessed that Zhang Hao would choose to turn around, but he still chose to actively stick close to him every time he was knocked back instead of leaving room for being hit.

    As a top defensive player, Grant Hill knows very well that preventing Zhang Hao from turning over and making a jump shot is far more important than preventing Zhang Hao from turning around.

    After Zhang Hao knocked Grant Hill back into the three-second zone, he chose to turn right and go to the baseline, avoiding Ratliff's defense on the other side, but he did not use his left hand to hit the board like O'Neal did, and it was still  Using his right hand, he tilted his body forward and hit an underhand layup!

    He actually turned right and made a layup with his right hand!

    How confident do you have to be in your ability to block your opponent?  O'Neal was surprised by Zhang Hao's choice, and there was something O'Neal had already learned about - Zhang Hao's judgment on the movement of defensive players!

    In the last round, although Zhang Hao failed to score in singles and made a hasty shot, his hasty shot clearly indicated that he had judged the time for Ratliff to make up for it and chose to make a hasty shot in advance.

    But when turning left, the right side of the body is originally moving towards the left. When the right hand is released, the force movement will be very awkward, and the direction of the force will follow the turning movement, which will have a great impact on the shot.

    This problem does not have much impact if you turn right and shoot with your left hand, because when you turn right and the left body moves to the right, the direction of the left hand shot is to the left. In terms of throwing, it is a very smooth shot.

    Zhang Hao's shooting was not as balanced as O'Neal's left and right hands, so Zhang Hao chose to turn right, and then confirmed that he could block the position and lay up with his right hand. O'Neal really felt Zhang Hao's talent - not imitating, but learning what he needed.  Part, combine your actual situation and choose the low-post play style that best suits you!

    Grant Hill also had the urge to curse - this guy actually learned something new in the middle of the game!

    He could see that Zhang Hao was imitating O'Neal's low post play.

    The key is, people can really do it!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s power made Grant Hill feel it was so exaggerated!  The weight of the two of them is almost the same, Zhang Hao is taller, but Zhang Hao is actually more solid in the lower body, and Zhang Hao's upper body strength is stronger than him.

    Just now when Grant Hill turned around to avoid Ratliff's defense, Grant Hill tried his best to squeeze Zhang Hao, regardless of the possibility of a foul, but he couldn't move!  The opponent was like a foil. If it wasn't so much taller, Grant Hill would have thought he was facing off against Barkley.

    The reason is

    "Deep Step" is triggered!

    Just as Zhang Hao thought when he first received this medal, this medal is obviously more suitable for the bottom-up steps of inside players such as O'Neal, Mourning, Malone, and Ewing before losing weight.

    After scoring the goal, Zhang Hao retreated quickly and felt a trace of sadness when he ran back

    Who would have thought that one day they would learn skills from O'Neal?

    But the details of O¡¯Neal¡¯s technology are really good!  The strongest center in history is indeed completely different from the ordinary number one center who uses his physical fitness to play!

    Who said O'Neal can only rely on his body?

    Even if his technique simply serves his physical fitness, it is still a technique, but others cannot learn it

    "Eh? Can't I learn it?"

    Seeing Lynch Hunter advancing, Zhang Hao put away his messy thoughts and focused on defense.

    4 to 6, the Pistons trailed by two points.

    The Pistons were not afraid because the opponent's lineup was strong, nor were they anxious because O'Neal made two unstoppable starts. Before the game, Joe Dumars recalled to his teammates for a long time how he beat the Lakers in the Finals.  How to defeat the Lakers team with Magic, Byron Scott, Michael Cooper, Worthy, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and win the Finals MVP.

    That team still has three top 50 superstars

    Whether they are tired of hearing it or they really believe they have the strength to defeat the Lakers, the Pistons are playing very patiently now.

    After Grant Hill waited for his teammates to get into position, he broke through from the right side.

    Barkley, who was guarding Edith Thorpe on the right baseline, came up in advance and blocked Grant Hill on the right side of the top arc. Zhang Hao also quickly moved his position to interfere with Grant Hill's route to the baseline.

    At this time, Addis Thorpe took the initiative to move and went to the right side of the three-point line to help Lynch Hunter block Kenny Anderson. Lynch Hunter went around to the free throw line and received Grant Hill's pass.  !

    Zhang Hao immediately made up for Lynch Hunter, who passed the right baseline, and Edith Thorpe blocked the pass and ran back.?: "Mr. O'Neal, can you practice free throw shooting?"

    Before O'Neal could react, Zhang Hao stepped out of the baseline and passed the ball to Kenny Anderson, then ran forward.

    O¡¯Neal doesn¡¯t know why, he¡¯s bad at free throws, he knows it!  He was also very upset!  But I really don¡¯t want to practice¡­

    However, when Zhang Hao arranged training before, he only asked him to practice free throws, but he didn't practice and Zhang Hao didn't say anything.

    Why this time?

    O'Neal ran to the frontcourt with confusion, and came to the left side of the three-second zone to maintain the threat of rushing. Zhang Hao pulled to the left side of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle to the middle of the top arc to rely on Grant Hill to maintain the threat of cutting.

    After enjoying the strength of his dream teammates in the first half of the quarter, Kenny Anderson finally came on his own and passed Lynch Hunter with his cross-step change that was not inferior to Grant Hill in terms of skills.

    Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao thought of Van Exel's difficulty in beating Lynch Hunter and Joe Dumars last year It is true that Van Exel's scoring power is more explosive, but Kenny Anderson is stable!

    Van Exel couldn¡¯t average 20 points per game even if he tried his best, but if Kenny Anderson leads the team alone, he can do it!

    Just when Kenny Anderson passed Lynch Hunter and rushed to the mid-range, and the other Lakers players began to follow their accustomed running routes, suddenly, the referee's whistle sounded!

    O¡¯Neill immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Hao¡¯s words just now.

    O¡¯Neal doesn¡¯t find it strange at all that Zhang Hao judged the opponent¡¯s tactical intentions. If one day Zhang Hao wears a suit on the court because of injury or suspension, and squeezes the old fox into the position of assistant coach, he will not be surprised at all.

    The key is that Zhang Hao predicted the opponent's tactical intention, which is a shark-killing tactic!

    Zhang Hao actually had the audacity to remind him to practice free throws!

    O¡¯Neal was dragged by Rick Mahon just now. The referee¡¯s whistle sounded and Rick Mahon committed a foul!

    The Lakers Sharks encountered the shark-cutting tactic for the first time, and it was still the first quarter!

    Feeling O'Neal's sad and angry eyes, Zhang Hao turned around and ran out of the sideline to serve.

    The Lakers continue to attack, thinking that the opponent will continue to use Rick Mahon, a retired player who has played in the game for the sixth time since the beginning of the game and has only played a total of 40 minutes in the first five appearances, to continue to attack the sharks.

    but no¡­¡­

    The Pistons just committed a tactical foul, interrupting the Lakers' offensive rhythm!

    Kenny Anderson¡¯s breakthrough this time was obviously not as patient as the last time. The strong breakthrough after the cross-step change failed to successfully get rid of Lynch Hunter, and the emergency stop mid-range shot was interfered with!

    Kenny Anderson missed the mid-range shot, but fortunately O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound.

    Rick Mahon is really a tough guy. When O'Neal landed and was about to get up, he used his face to press the elbow that O'Neal was holding when he leaned over after grabbing the rebound. As long as O'Neal raised his elbow, there was a high probability that he would be hit with an elbow.  foul.

    O'Neal looked rough, but his ball was really delicate. He didn't take the bait and threw the ball at Zhang Hao, who was actively running to get an open opportunity. He seemed to want to kill Zhang Hao However, before Zhang Hao could catch the ball, the referee whistled.  There was a sound, and O'Neal's arm was pulled again!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 226 226. Tall buildings rising from the ground

    As soon as Zhang Hao received the ball, he saw O'Neal was fouled. He sighed helplessly and took a shot What made him even more angry was that he scored!

    The first thing O'Neal saw after he was fouled was not the fouled Rick Mahon. He was a retired player. He came up with a foul. There was nothing interesting to see.

    After being fouled, O'Neal looked up and saw Zhang Hao sighing and throwing the ball in. He immediately yelled at Zhang Hao: "Who caused this?"

    Hearing O'Neal's angry roar, even the Pistons players and fans near the baseline couldn't help laughing.

    The Lakers players were helpless. At first, except for Zhang Hao, who would have thought that O'Neal would be signed naked like this?

    Zhang Hao felt aggrieved - if I, Zhang, don¡¯t use it, the mad scientist behind me will use it too, right?

    The number of fouls is still less than 4, and the Lakers are still attacking.

    The time returns to 24 seconds.

    Although everyone likes to attack and shoot when playing, even a defensive team does not like to defend all the time. Only by attacking can you score. In the end, the team with the most points wins the game.

    But it¡¯s not that pleasant to keep attacking. Moreover, the opponent was fouled twice in one round and was forced to attack a third time.

    Kenny Anderson felt that his rhythm was out of order. O'Neal, the strongest offensive point, would be fouled when he caught the ball at this time. Kenny Anderson received the serve and was about to complete the attack in a hurry when Zhang Hao took the initiative to ask for the ball.

    Kenny Anderson immediately passed the ball over. Looking at Zhang Hao's calm expression, Kenny Anderson felt relieved.

    Calm is calm, but Zhang Hao, who received the ball, felt like he had no chance when faced with Grant Hill's defense!

    Just now he tried to find a position to turn around and cut in, but Grant Hill's positioning and small steps were very good. He could raise his elbow to block the position, but there was a high probability of being called for a foul. The opponent did a good job in preventing this.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????: The opponent can keep up with him, he has good physical fitness and excellent defensive awareness.

    There is no other way, so forcefully break out!

    Zhang Hao turned around, faced Grant Hill, dribbled the ball carefully, and suddenly accelerated to the left!

    Grant Hill was very keen to move half a step to the right without trampling his footsteps. Sure enough, Zhang Hao stopped. Grant Hill stopped his foot and was about to retreat to the left, but Zhang Hao paused and continued to break through to the left.  , Grant Hill retracted his feet, and when he moved again, he was a beat slower.

    "The King of Cross Steps (Bronze) is triggered. Zhang Hao successfully shakes off his opponent this time to gain breakthrough space. His speed is temporarily +3. After gaining breakthrough space, he starts at the fastest speed"

    Originally, even if he was a beat slower, Grant Hill still had the speed advantage to keep up. At least he could go inside with Zhang Hao to form a pincer attack with his inside teammates. At the same time, he could also rely on close contact to avoid Zhang Hao passing the ball before the pincer attack was completed.  Block the space under the basket when a double attack is formed.

    But Grant Hill turned around a beat too late and could no longer catch up!

    Zhang Hao directly rushed to the basket with a speed that increased to 92!

    Zhang Hao rushed to the left side of the three-second zone, grabbed the ball, raised the ball with both hands, and rushed towards the basket

    The two people under the basket just saw Zhang Hao attacking with the ball from the outside. O'Neal didn't think Zhang Hao could get past Grant Hill. At most, he would forcefully break through and immediately enter the three-second zone, trying to get the rebound or the ball as soon as possible.  In a better receiving position, although Rick Mahon is old and doesn't play much time, he is still brave and fights with O'Neal under the basket regardless of his own safety. While they are fighting hand-to-hand, the two hear exclamations and turn around.  I turned my head and saw the Lakers logo coming towards me

    "ßÑ"

    "Beep"

    Zhang Hao faked a move to break through Grant Hill, passed O'Neal and Rick Mahon into the basket, pressed on them and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

    The referee also blew the whistle. When Rick Mahon was about to be dunked, he pushed Zhang Hao who had already taken off. Although Zhang Hao did not miss the dunk and Zhang Hao only stumbled and stood firm after landing, the referee still gave him a  Rick Mahon foul!

    The Lakers bench was in a state of excitement, and the Lakers players on the court, except O'Neal, were also very excited.

    Satisfied, Magic, Jason Williams, and Barkley on the sidelines felt satisfied instantly.

    As a Lakers insider, if you don¡¯t get dunked by your own players, you won¡¯t have any cards!

    They are definitely not happy that someone is as miserable as them, but they are happy that O'Neal also has a card!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s goal was valid and a penalty was imposed. A long whistle sounded on the technical stage and teams were rotated.

    When O'Neal's name was called, he glanced at Zhang Hao, who was calmly walking to the free throw line, and walked to the bench angrily, high-fiving Magic, Jason Williams, and James Johnson who were on the court.stage.

    It's difficult to defend against the Lakers' offense. Zhang Hao can handle the ball on the outside and break through with fake moves. Grant Hill now guards Zhang Hao's dribbling from beyond the three-point line, preferring to give him a chance to be passed directly. Anyway,  Zhang Hao will not be given the space to start at full speed.

    Unless the intensity is increased, but in the regular season, the intensity is not increased at the beginning of the game. If the intensity is increased in the middle, the referee's whistle will probably be severe, unless it is at the critical moment in the final quarter.

    In this case, the Pistons also chose to attack!

    Grant Hill led Joe Dumars, Michael Curry, Jerome Williams, Addis Thorpe and the Lakers to fight!

    Grant Hill encountered the heaviest defense, and he felt that the opponent valued him more than other strong teams!

    The three-man team that rushes into the inside is treated a bit too much. When there is a chance to turn around in the mid-range, it is always a double team. Although Grant Hill doesn't quite understand it, he doesn't rush in one-on-two every time or turn around and shoot during the breakthrough.  They all scored, and the opponent's Brian Shaw defended well anyway, Grant Hill made good use of this.

    Grant Hill¡¯s timely distribution of the ball allowed the Pistons to shoot the ball even though they failed to narrow the point difference in the last 5 minutes of the first half!

    In the third quarter, the Lakers prepared to end the game in this quarter, but failed. Not only did they not succeed, the Pistons also narrowed the point difference to 5 points in the third quarter, scoring 34 to 25 in a single quarter, 88 to 88.  93. At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons chased the point difference to 5 points!

    The Pistons did not continue to hack O'Neal in this quarter. O'Neal made 4 of 7 free throws in the first half, which is not bad. The key is that their own offensive rhythm is good. The hacking tactic has been around for a long time. There is one pattern, which is to compete for the championship.  Teams with a higher level use it less and teams with a good offensive rhythm generally do not use shark-cutting tactics. The shark-cutting tactic will not only interrupt the offensive rhythm of the Lakers, but also the team's own offensive rhythm that uses shark-cutting tactics.  .

    Without the defensive part, it will have a great impact on everyone. It always needs to adjust the rhythm. Continuously slashing sharks feels like playing the same round all the time. Only when there is a transition between offense and defense can there be a feeling of "restarting the offense".  .

    After three quarters, Grant Hill, who played 32 minutes, scored 9 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, a near triple-double!

    Zhang Hao, who played 18 minutes in the first half and more than 9 minutes in the third quarter, scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. Looking at O'Neal, who scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first three quarters, he scored 11 points and 4 blocks.  Barkley

    Forget it, tall buildings are rising from the ground, and you can only rely on yourself to win!

    Zhang Hao pulled up his collar and snorted

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 227 227. Part 1 of the Crazy End

    This time the fight is not considered tiring, but Zhang Hao has become accustomed to using the "Peter Pan's physical strength pool" at the right time in each game, and has gradually become accustomed to using the bonus physical strength as his own physical strength.

    Rather than squeezing yourself dry before using it again, it must be used before your performance may decline due to declining physical strength. It is more important to maintain the continuity of performance.

    Players who play without the ball are more physically demanding!

    How to use "Peter Pan's stamina pool", Zhang Hao's first priority is to let himself develop the ability to divide his stamina into two stages, rationally allocate his stamina according to the opponent's strength, and combine it with "new stamina".

    It will be troublesome, but you will get used to it.

    It is better to get used to it than to wait for it to be used after exhaustion of energy.

    Zhang Hao thinks so.

    It¡¯s like he knew that O¡¯Neal played loosely for 23 minutes in the fourth quarter, and it would be difficult for him to play more compactly in the final quarter.

    In the future, O'Neal is used to getting more than 20 points, 10 rebounds, two or three assists, and two or three blocks in the regular season. After the playoffs, it is difficult to let him work hard to play in the regular season.

    He is integrating his personal abilities, medal bonuses, etc. into his playing style.

    Just like the bonus of turning over and jumping, and the bonus of counterattack, he has been integrated into the style of play itself.

    Since it is the initiative to let O'Neal paddle in the regular season, then he must take responsibility.

    It¡¯s a bit stressful!

    We are currently leading by 5 points, but the situation is not very optimistic.

    In the second half, the Lakers were caught up. In addition to the Pistons playing very well, there was another reason - the Lakers themselves played sloppily.

    "Aristocratic disease!"

    This is also an unsolvable problem, and it won¡¯t be solved in another 20 years.

    Don¡¯t worry about things that can¡¯t be solved, just face the cruelty.

    There are still tasks, first of all, we must win the game.

    At present, the total value of Grant Hill's three main statistics is 28, and his total value is 36.

    But Grant Hill only scored 9 points, and his personal offense has not yet been effective.

    After he ordered his teammates to block Grant Hill, Grant Hill quickly changed his playing style and prioritized passing the ball. Although he played for 32 minutes, Grant Hill wanted to attack hard in the final quarter, which was no problem at all.

    And he, Zhang, was already heavily guarded. In the third quarter, the opponent's defense against him became obviously stronger

    ¡­¡­

    After the inter-section break, players from both teams take the field.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Zhang Hao, James Robinson, Brian Shaw, Magic, and Jason Williams.

    The Pistons sent a combination of Lynch Hunter, Joe Dumars, Grant Hill, Jerome Williams, and Terry Mills.

    The Lakers attacked first. Brian Shaw received the ball in the frontcourt and shot a three-pointerbut didn't score!

    The fight here was too casual. Obviously, the aristocratic disease is still there.

    Grant Hill actively shrank to block the rushing Zhang Hao. Terry Mills also blocked his younger brother Jason Williams very well. Jerome Williams grabbed the defensive rebound.

    In the transition between offense and defense, Lynch Hunter advanced to the frontcourt and did not pass the ball to Grant Hill, but passed it to Joe Dumas.

    Facing James Robinson¡¯s defense, Joe Dumars broke through with a fake move and then stepped back and hit a three-pointer!

    This is all about personal ability, scoring one-on-one!

    During the break, Del Harris emphasized that he should continue to block Grant Hill. This decision is obviously no problem. At critical moments, he must guard against the opponent's strongest player.

    But the big heart of the former FMVP helped the Pistons narrow the point difference to two points as soon as the fourth quarter started!

    93 to 91, the Lakers' lead is only two points left!

    When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao actively moved to get the ball, but Jerome Williams defended well. Magic couldn't pass the ball well and passed the ball to Brian Shaw. Brian Xiao broke into the paint and encountered  Grant Hill helps defend and distributes the ball

    ??Mistake!  It was too natural to take it for granted. Zhang Hao was free this time, but there were three people between him and Brian Xiao, and he was directly intercepted by Lynch Hunter!

    The Pistons counterattacked. Joe Dumars, who had just scored a three-pointer, and Grant Hill, who was faster than many defenders, attracted the defensive attention of the Lakers' defensive players. Terry Mills, a 208-centimeter player,  The big man followed up with the ball and made a three-pointerhit!

    Averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game and a 44% three-point shooting percentage, special features?Grant Hill watched Zhang Hao continue to catch the ball and play singles on the left side of the top arc. It felt so crazy!  At this point, he actually still has such physical strength!

    The Pistons scored a 20-12 half-quarter score, but in order to get these 10 points and 3 assists, his personal expenditure was not small.

    ¡°Just seeing Zhang Hao playing so hard, he had to work hard to help defend Zhang Hao and attack hard, otherwise he really couldn¡¯t tell when this weak lead would be gone.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t care about that much and focused on the game.

    Kenny Anderson is better than Van Exel in his stability, better physical strength, better overall view and organizational skills, but Kenny Anderson is not of much use at critical moments.  He doesn't have Van Exel's recklessness.

    Facing the defense of Jerome Williams, Zhang Hao dribbled the ball outside the three-point line. Suddenly, he pulled up and shot directly!

    Jerome Williams was very afraid of Zhang Hao's change-of-direction breakthrough that even Grant Hill could get past. He guarded him a little further than half a step. Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer!

    40 marks!

    12 points in a single quarter!

    108 to 109, the Lakers once again narrowed the point difference to 1 point!

    We have to keep fighting!  In the next two minutes, Grant Hill and Joe Dumars led the Pistons to another wave of impact, scoring 9 points in a row. Zhang Hao also got 2 points and 1 assist, passing to Buck.  Leigh's mid-range shot and Barkley's shot also caused Grant Hill to foul and make an extra free throw.

    But after being beaten 9 to 5, the point difference came to 5 points again. The Pistons led the Lakers by 5 points 118 to 113!

    With more than 3 minutes left, the Lakers called a timeout.

    The fans at the scene are already excited!

    From being nearly 20 points behind, to catching up, to taking the lead until the last minute.

    So what if the opposite guy, last season¡¯s super rookie king and the 51st among the top 50 superstars, scored 40 points?  The all-around tactician Grant Hill is the strongest new generation star in their minds!

    Del Harris replaced George Lynch with O'Neal, and the Lakers returned to the starting lineup.

    The Pistons did not rotate.

    After the timeout, O'Neal rested for more than 8 minutes. He came up with great energy. He hit Ratliff with a back-up dunk and scored two points!

    O'Neal was replaced at this time. The disadvantage was that there were no good rim protectors for the first eight minutes or so. The advantage was that the Pistons played in space for the past eight minutes or so. Letting O'Neal go out to defend pick-and-rolls and off-ball defenses would actually affect him.  Performance at critical moments.

    ? ?Also, Zhang Hao played very well and helped the team tighten the score. Who knows whether rash adjustments to his playing style will affect Zhang Hao's performance.

    As for feel, state, etc., with O'Neal's style of play, as long as he has enough physical strength, what kind of things do he need to care about?

    Offensive and defensive transition, when the Pistons attack, Grant Hill should not put too much pressure on him!

    There was already Zhang Hao who scored 12 points in the final quarter, and O'Neal also came up.

    This ball, Grant Hill is going to do it himself!

 Chapter 228 228. In order to get off work, let¡¯s kill it!

    Facing Zhang Hao's defense, Grant Hill made a strong breakthrough, but he still did the same thing. He suddenly stopped and stepped back to take a mid-range shot that destroyed his knees and ankles When he jumped up to take the shot, Grant Hill suddenly leaned back, but he was still too slow.  One shot!

    Zhang Hao took a gamble, betting that the opponent would do it on his own, and that the opponent would choose to retreat, so when chasing the defense, he aimed at blocking shots and directly pressed forward, regardless of whether Grant Hill would rush into the paint.  .

    This time, the bet was right!

    Zhang Hao directly pressed forward and jumped with all his strength. Grant Hill leaned back, and the ball he threw was still touched by Zhang Hao's fingertips!

    The ball flew to the highest point and fell, obviously not heading towards the basket.

    Barkley protects the rebound at critical moments!

    Jerome Williams actively interferes with Barkley's play. On the offensive end, he can do nothing but eat cakes, but on the defensive end, he really knows everything and is extremely active. He can really contain it by himself.  The Lakers fought back.

    When Barkley passed the ball to Kenny Anderson, Ratliff had already retreated.

    Falling into a positional battle, of course, it is still for O'Neal who is willing to play in singles at critical moments.

    O¡¯Neal caught the ball very easily and was not allowed to attack without the ball, but as soon as he received the ball, Grant Hill shrank back.

    Barkley immediately pulled out and blocked Jerome Williams. Zhang Hao ran to a position close to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the top arc and received O'Neal's pass!

    Facing Joe Dumas¡¯ defense, Zhang Hao completely ignored the opponent and caught the ball and shot a three-pointer

    Hit again!

    15 points in a single quarter!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s personal score increased to 43 points!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s score alone reached 43, while Grant Hill¡¯s three statistics added up to a total value of only 44.

    But at this time, Zhang Hao¡¯s attention was no longer on that, he was just thinking about how to win!

    118 square meters!

    As soon as O'Neal came up As soon as O'Neal, who was mainly outputting at full power, came up, his inside deterrence made Grant Hill choose a mid-range shot. He started to attack with his offensive deterrence and passed a ball to Zhang Hao for a three-pointer. The two worked together to hit  A wave of 5 to 0!

    ? Next, both sides took outside shots and each worked for one round.

    The Pistons were afraid of O'Neal's defense at the basket. On the Lakers' side, O'Neal was flanked under the basket, Zhang Hao received the ball and was defended in front, and Doug Christie missed the three-pointer after receiving the ball.

    There was no chance to score inside, and the shooting opportunities from the outside were too poor. When the Pistons attacked, Grant Hill chose to break into the inside and avoid the blocking of Zhang Hao, who was pursuing him, but he was unable to avoid O'Neal.

    O¡¯Neal completed the block at the critical moment, and the direction in which the ball was blown was exactly in the direction of Zhang Hao!

    Zhang Hao received the ball and counterattacked directly!

    Can¡¯t catch up!  The Pistons players tried their best to chase, but they could only watch helplessly as Zhang Hao counterattacked and dunked.

    7 to 0!

    The R¨¦my Martin combination appears impressive for the first time!

    Although there are still problems with coordination, the role players¡¯ ability to respond is not that strong or they are not used to it.

    But the cooperation between the two allowed them to overtake even though they were 5 points behind!

    Pistons coach Doug Collins looked at the talent cultivated by his younger brother. He was really As long as Zhang Hao can practice single defense on the outside and have a qualified level of assist defense, the twin towers formed by him and O'Neal can already be seen as invincible.  the future!

    "Did the Magic team fall into the sea when they traveled to Los Angeles? The combination of Grant and Akers should be better than the combination of Akers and O'Neal probably"

    With players like Grant Hill under his command, Doug Collins naturally wants to compete for the championship. If it doesn't take one or two years, he can afford to wait for three or five years.

    Attracting Zhang Hao to join after the contract expires is one of the main plans.

    The feud between Zhang Hao and O'Neal has long been foreseeable.

    If O¡¯Neal hadn¡¯t made 5 of 9 free throws, Doug Collins would have really wanted to continue killing the Sharks.

    But with a 50% free throw percentage, slashing the shark is not applicable, especially when the offensive rhythm of your own side is suddenly interrupted.

    Seeing that the team members were somewhat beaten by the opposite R¨¦my Martin Twin Towers, Doug Collins calmed down, called the team members together, and loudly laid out tactics.

    Yelling loudly is the simplest and most effective way to stimulate

    ¡°Compared to the Pistons, who were beaten a little confused, the Lakers were so excited!

    From leading by nearly 20 points to being overtaken, when they realized they had been overtaken, they were really a little panicked.

    &nbspAccording to Sri Lanka's arrangement, the Lakers' last attack must be Zhang Hao's shot.

    Last season, Zhang Hao hit the buzzer beater 6 times!

    The timeout ended, and Zhang Hao started running amidst the boos from the fans.

    Although the Pistons were sure that the Lakers arranged for Zhang Hao to take the last shot, James Robinson and Byron Scott really didn't dare to let it go!

    O¡¯Neal had a pillar under the basket, but he didn¡¯t dare to let it go!

    The referee blew the whistle to continue the game. Kenny Anderson served out of bounds. Zhang Hao had already slipped to the baseline and ran out. Kenny Anderson's serve was delivered in time.

    Zhang Hao received the serve close to the baseline and made a horizontal pull towards the top line, avoiding Grant Hill. This was when Zhang Hao encountered Ratliff and Jerome Williams who had judged the direction of his movement.  of flanking attack.

    Jerome Williams and Ratliff both rushed forward with their arms raised, and could jump up at any time to interfere with Zhang Haoping's alley pass. If Zhang Haoping passed the ball, he could pass the ball inside in the remaining two seconds.  But the direction of the alley-oop pass was blocked, and it was too late for O'Neal to lift the pass

    However, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t think so much at all. His mind was like a blur. After changing direction to avoid Grant Hill, he directly faced the defense of Jerome Williams and Ratliff and took off!

    Jerome Williams and Ratliff also quickly took off, but neither of them could jump as high as Zhang Hao!

    It¡¯s hard to tell that Zhang Hao played for nearly 40 minutes!

    Ratliff, the future shot-blocking king with a long wingspan, put his hand on Zhang Hao's shooting path, but Ratliff, who took off a beat later, fell first, and Zhang Hao was stuck in the air!

    The moment Ratliff fell, Zhang Hao threw the ball and it also fell.

    The time difference in the middle was only 0.2 seconds, but Zhang Hao was only thinking about shooting now. He could only focus on how to throw the ball. He didn't think about anything else and seized the opportunity!

    After the ball left Zhang Hao's hand, it was still rising, and the final whistle had already sounded!

    Accompanied by the long whistle at the end of the regular game time, the ball flew out, reached the highest point, and fell, which only took one second. However, at this moment, the scene became quiet, and then, watching the ball plunge into the basket,  The fans at the scene howled in unison

    In!

    This time Zhang Hao didn¡¯t miss and didn¡¯t let the game be dragged into overtime!

    The Lakers players all rushed towards Zhang Hao excitedly, and everyone on the bench also rushed towards him.

    The Pistons players listened to the sighs of the fans and looked at the excited Lakers players, and they could only sigh helplessly.

    After fighting for a whole game, from looking like a slim chance to overtaking, to seeing the invincible dominance of the R¨¦my Martin Twin Towers for more than one minute, to scoring two consecutive three-pointers at the critical moment, bringing the hope of dragging into overtime

    Grant Hill, the foundation of the Pistons' strength, scored 21 points, 11 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 1 block tonight. Joe Dumars, the key player, scored steadily. He scored 36 points tonight, setting a new season high.

    But in front of Zhang Hao, who scored 50 points in a single game, 23 points in a single quarter, and finally made a buzzer-beating shot, they all paled in comparison!

    Looking at that second-year gentleman whose talent and strength are so strongEh?  What's wrong with him?

    After making the buzzer-beating shot, Zhang Hao was naturally the focus of everyone's eyes. Everyone was staring at him. His Lakers teammates all rushed toward himbut Kenny Anderson, who rushed forward first, was pushed away.  .

    Zhang Hao covered his head and walked towards the players' tunnel. The system's injury prompt showed that there were no serious injuries, so it was the negative feeling caused by strenuous exercise after concussion. His head hurt, and Zhang Hao wanted to go back to sleep now.

    At this time, the Lakers¡¯ team medical team arrived. In order to avoid the worst case scenario, Gary Vidi even arranged for a stretcher.

    Seeing Zhang Hao walking towards the tunnel with his head covered, Del Harris took immediate action, called Ben Wallace, pressed Zhang Hao down without any explanation, put him on a stretcher, and carried him away

 Chapter 229 229. Core technology of play development

    After completing the game-winner, Zhang Hao covered his head and walked towards the player tunnel and was carried away by the prepared team doctors

    At this scene, the lamenting fans were stunned. The Pistons players were a little confused, while the Lakers players were frightened.

    The Lakers fans in front of the TV were excited about Zhang Hao completing the winning goal, and suddenly saw the TV screen changed to Zhang Hao being carried away

    After the game, the media replayed the video and found out that Zhang Hao may have been injured in the round. Ratliff's defensive block was dodged by Zhang Hao's lever, and Ratliff's wrist was slapped directly on the left side of Zhang Hao's head.

    This was analyzed by the media as when Zhang Hao was injured.

    During the post-game summary stage of the American cable TV station that broadcast the game, all the commentators discussed Zhang Hao's injury. In the footage captured by multiple cameras, the director found Zhang Hao's return after being hit on the head and completing the extra penalty.  When they got to the bench, Lakers trainer Gary Vidi asked Zhang Hao about the scene. At that time, Zhang Hao started to cover his head.

    In the Lakers¡¯ post-game press conference, Del Harris confirmed that Gary Vidi judged that Zhang Hao was injured after Zhang Hao completed the extra penalty and returned to the bench.

    In other words, Zhang Hao suffered a concussion at the last moment. After catching the ball and shaking Grant Hill away, he faced Ratliff and Jerome Williams and completed the buzzer-beating victory!

    Furthermore, Zhang Hao scored 23 points in the final quarter and scored 50 points in the game!

    For a time, Zhang Hao once again became the focus of the topic.

    But the game itself also has a lot of hot topics.

    Grant Hill scored a triple-double and led the team to catch up with the score. Joe Dumars was still young and almost dragged the game into overtime. Terry Mills, a guy who has become a ball, made an amazing three-pointer

    And Jerome Williams became famous in one battle!

    Jerome Williams shined in this game. When guarding O'Neal, he dared to slap the opponent's arm, causing O'Neal to receive several technical fouls. When guarding Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao was limited to only one in the third quarter.  6 points. If it weren't for his outstanding defensive performance during that period, the Pistons would not be able to catch up with the point difference.

    The solid defensive basics shown by Jerome Williams at the last moment also impressed people.

    Although he couldn't really guard Zhang Hao, Jerome Williams' playing attitude was very similar to that of the Bad Boys Legion, he was born to be a basketball hooligan.

    Although fans hate the Bad Boys very much, the era of the Bad Boys still reminds many fans. Without that group of people, the fans always feel that something is missing.

    Now there is a player with a similar playing style, the same risk-taking, and the same tenacity, who has won the love of many old fans.

    ¡­¡­

    The morning after the game against the Pistons, Zhang Hao still woke up on time at 6:15 in the morning.

    Last night, he was roughly pushed down by Ben Wallace and carried back to the locker room for examination. The team doctor determined that he had symptoms of concussion, and then he was sent to the hospital for a series of examinations.

    In the end, it was determined that it was a concussion, and he slept in the hospital overnight.

    Entering the learning mode, I didn¡¯t feel a concussion in my dream, nor did I feel it during the replay. The subsequent simulation training of cross-stepping and jump shooting after catching and pulling horizontally, I learned from the basketball knowledge level to play against the Pistons.  Two moves that were forced out.

    With these two moves, his basic skills combined with his size and athletic ability are really suitable. He has been included in the same technical development project as the emergency stop jump shot.

    I am already learning the details of the pull-up jump shot from Kenny Anderson. I haven¡¯t thought of anyone to learn these two new moves yet. If it doesn¡¯t work, I can only explore slowly.

    After waking up, the symptoms of concussion were still there, but it was much better than when I felt sleepy during the checkup last night.

    This morning, with the newspaper and TV news reports, the interest in last night¡¯s game reached its highest point.

    Near noon, Henry Thomas and the team doctor came to the hospital to take him out of the hospital and take him to the airport.

    On the way to the airport, Zhang Hao accepted an exclusive interview with Sports Illustrated in a conversational manner.

    There is no way to rely on drugs or physical therapy for this injury. The doctor's advice is very simple - open your eyes less, don't watch TV, don't read, just stay up for a few days and it will be fine.

    If this kind of injury does not get worse, an ordinary person can recover in a week, and athletes may recover faster.

    When the reporter from Sports Illustrated asked other questions, Zhang Hao answered very simply. When asked about the seventh game winner in his career, the sixth 20+ points in a single quarter, the first 50 points in a single game in the new season, etc., he was casually perfunctory.

    But when it comes to Jerome Williams, who became famous overnight with his defense and playing attitude, what Zhang Hao said?In the world of athletes, Zhang Hao's existence is like a bug!  He is too strong in every aspect, even his recovery ability is so strong!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao practiced pull-up jump shots for two hours in the morning, catching the ball and pulling horizontally to change direction, or pulling horizontally and then jumping.

    It is more effective to practice the change of direction breakthrough after catching the ball and pulling horizontally, but the practice of emergency stop jump shot and jumper after pulling horizontally is average.

    After formal training, Zhang Hao discovered that the jump shot after pulling horizontally requires the use of emergency stop jump shot techniques.

    So, in the afternoon, Zhang Hao came to Kenny Anderson¡¯s house, ready to continue asking for advice.

    Kenny Anderson¡¯s cross-step pull-up jump shot is the core style that enables him to score 20 points per game.

    Zhang Hao chose to learn cross-step changes independently, but he had to learn the emergency stop jumper. This technique is very critical in the development and construction of his playing style.

    Arriving outside the yard of the villa rented by Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao saw that Kenny Anderson had come out "Did I tell him that I was coming? Yes? I should have!"

    When Kenny Anderson saw a car coming, he rushed over with his face covered, opened the door and said: "Your car dealership is so awesome! You actually use a Ferrari to drive a taxi? Or is it because I am a big star Eh? Ai?  Kes, are you here to run a taxi?"

    "" Zhang Hao watched Kenny Anderson covering his face speechlessly and asked, "I came to see you for something. What happened to your face? Did your wife hit you again?"

    "It's your wife who beat you! She went back to Canada to pick up my daughter I won't talk about this anymore, I'll just say how come there is a car dealer using a Ferrari to drive a taxi, Aix, take me to Kaiser Medical Center quickly, I  Make an appointment with the doctor to extract the tooth!¡±

    "extract a tooth?"

    "My wisdom teeth are inflamed and hurt!"

    ¡­¡­

    Half an hour later, Zhang Hao helped Kenny Anderson pay the fee and sent him to the emergency operating room of Kaiser Medical Center.

    "Mr. Zhang, please go out first. This is a small operation after all, and it is not convenient for people to watch."

    The pretty little nurse drove Zhang Hao out of the operating room with a gentle tone.

    Zhang Hao didn't care much and waited outside.

    Extraction of teeth is just a minor surgery.

    However, about 10 minutes later, Zhang Hao heard roars one after another

    "No! The teeth fit too tightly. Where is the electric drill? Danny, give me the electric drill"

    ?Then the sound of an electric drill

    "These teeth are really hard, where's the hammer? Gauss, give me the hammer, Ellie, give me the shovel"

    Then there was a beating sound of "ßÑßÑßÑ"

    "It's broken, clean it up quickly Hiatt, this tooth is covered by bone. Danny, disinfect the electric drill quickly. Ellie, pry open the gums and protect them with iron sheets"

    Then, there was the sound of the electric drill again

    "Flush, wash away the blood, suck it dryGive me the hammer and shovel"

    Zhang Hao was playing Snake, the only game currently on his mobile phone. He had just played for a few minutes when he heard various roars and sounds like construction at a construction site for more than ten minutes. Even the soundproof door could not block it.  The sound of electric drills and hammers

    "Boss Kenny should still be alive now, right?"

 Chapter 230 230. I am not a high-ranking rookie, I am only the 13th overall pick!  (Ask for monthly ticket)

    At noon on December 12, the Timberwolves came to Los Angeles.

    As soon as they arrived in Los Angeles, the Timberwolves received news that Kenny Anderson and Jerome Corsi would not be able to participate in the next back-to-back games due to physical reasons.

    When Marbury heard the news, he strangely asked Garnett next to him: "Isn't it because Akers has a concussion? Why is it written in the news that Anderson is out due to injury?"

    Garnett glanced at the news and did not answer.

    Marbury is used to it. As long as Zhang Hao is mentioned, Garnett will remain silent.

    Marbury has always thought Zhang Hao was a genius, and it was not surprising that Zhang Hao became even more violent in his second year.

    ¡°Rather than being arrogant, Garnett is even more arrogant than Marbury. Marbury will at least take the initiative to speak to strong opponents, while Garnett can¡¯t stand any powerful opponents.

    But Garnett was a little regretful when he heard that Zhang Hao could play.

    Originally, Zhang Hao might also miss the game due to injury. Garnett was a little happy, not because he was happy that Zhang Hao was injured, but because he, Garnett, was also injured.

    Even though he was injured, it didn¡¯t count that he missed the game with Zhang Hao. He didn¡¯t want to miss every opportunity to play against Zhang Hao. After all, they only played against Zhang Hao four times a year. Garnett really didn¡¯t want to miss such an opportunity.

    However, he sprained his knee and had to take a break.

    Post players can wear pressure garments for shoulder injuries, arm guards for arm injuries, and finger gloves for finger injuries. However, lower limb and back injuries must rest to avoid deterioration.

    Ewing is a lesson learned from the past. In college, Ewing sustained a knee injury and played hard. As a result, when he entered the NBA, his knee was already bandaged, and it became more and more serious.

    Thinking of a few days ago, Zhang Hao scored 50 points and hit a buzzer-beater against Grant Hill's Pistons. With his performance of winning three games last week, he won his second weekly best of the season this morning.  JiaGarnett wants to become stronger!

    ¡­¡­

    Marbury¡¯s doubts are also the doubts of others paying attention to the game between the Lakers and Timberwolves.

    Due to concussion, many people thought that Zhang Hao would at least be unable to participate in the next back-to-back. However, the day before the game, the Lakers announced that Zhang Hao was not on the list of those who would be absent from the next back-to-back due to injury, but Kenny Anderson and Jerome  -Keersi, there is no Zhang Hao!

    On December 13th, the day came for the first back-to-back home game of the Lakers. Among the injury details revealed by the Lakers, Jerome Corsi suffered an old shoulder injury, and Ben Wallace replaced him.  Entered the 12-man roster.

    Kenny Anderson had his impacted tooth removed and stitches performed. According to NBA regulations, after a tooth has been extracted or a tooth has been injured and a tooth has been repaired or a denture has been installed, the tooth is not allowed to bleed until there is still a risk of bleeding.  Go out and play.

    This is the rule after the magician is infected with a sexually transmitted disease.

    This rule has been criticized because if you bleed during the game, you only need to ensure that the bleeding does not continue before you can continue to participate in the game.

    At 6:40 in the evening, when players from the Lakers and Timberwolves entered the Great Western Forum Arena, Zhang Hao received enthusiastic cheers from the fans.

    After entering the venue, Zhang Hao felt the atmosphere of the scene and complained: "It's really rare, Jason, can you try to get injured next time?"

    Jason Williams was also sighing. When he heard Zhang Hao's words, he immediately jumped up and said, "Why! Can't it be OK if Kenny is injured?"

    "That's right, Boss Kenny will come back in the next game against the Pacers"

    Wearing a suit, Kenny Anderson heard the conversation between Zhang Hao and Jason Williams and really wanted to jump up and hit their heels!

    Zhang Hao glanced at Garnett, who was wearing a suit on the opposite bench, and felt a little regretful. He also liked playing against Garnett. Although Garnett's defense was a headache for him, playing against such a player who could restrain him  Competition can stimulate his competitive spirit.

    But Garnett can't play. As long as this game is won, the task of "leading the league" can be completed today, without having to worry about the data.

    The Timberwolves, which have gradually transformed their talent into strength, were still on the rise before they tried to make a yin-yang contract and were not so easy to deal with.

    Currently, the Lakers, who have won 9 consecutive games, have a record of 18 wins and 4 losses, and the Timberwolves, who have played 23 games, also have a record of 13 wins and 10 losses.

    After the greeting time and pre-match preparation time, the starting players of the two teams were about to take the field. Zhang Hao came to the technical table to apply magnesium powder.

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Magic, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Barkley, and O'Neal.

    The Timberwolves sent Marbury, Sam Mitchell, Doug West, GugliottaWith 5 wins and 9 losses, it currently ranks fourth in the Western Conference.

    At 7:10 p.m., players from both teams entered the stadium.

    Although they started the new season well, facing the Lakers, the Trail Blazers players were under great pressure.

    Who asked them to get Rasheed Wallace back?

    Opposite there is Zhang Hao who gets angry when he sees players who are ranked higher than him in the same draft!

    Although Rasheed Wallace has made great progress in his second year, he has played in 21 of the first 24 games, averaging 16.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He has the talent to become a top scoring power forward.

    But when it comes to scoring power forwards, who can compare with Zhang Hao?

    Relying on that 50-point game, although there was a 23-point game later, Zhang Hao's scoring average returned to 30 points per game, something Malone couldn't even do!

    Although they still have Sabonis who has adapted to the NBA and averaged 15.8 points, 10 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks per game at the age of 32, the opponent has O'Neal

    Rookie Steve Nash came to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder. He was excited but nervous and under a lot of pressure!

    Tonight, we must take advantage of the fact that the opponent's core point guard is absent!

    After playing for a month, Nash got more opportunities than at the beginning. After entering December, he played 7 games, averaging 20.3 minutes per game, scoring 9.2 points and 2.7 assists, shooting 45.9% from the field and 41.5% from the field.  The three-point shooting rate has won the approval of their coach PJ Carlesimo. Tonight, he will start instead of the star point guard Robert Parker who does not fit in with the inside partner.

    Robert Parker averaged 18 points and 9 assists in 31 games with the Washington Bullets last season. The Trail Blazers signed him to a three-year, $14 million contract. This was a huge loss for a player who was out for half the season.  That's a very good offer.

    After recovering from injury, Robert Parker's personal condition has not declined. He also played an important role in the Trail Blazers' 10-7 start. However, he has a very high ball possession rate, will not be without the ball, and has no shooting ability. It is indeed impossible.  There is a better chemical reaction with the inside, so in December, pj Carlesimo began to try to increase the playing time of Nash, who has stronger outside singles and catching and shooting abilities.

    Although Nash is much worse than Robert Parker in terms of strength, when the team attacks, Nash is more effective than Robert Parker and can better bring out the offensive strength of the inside players. Robert Parker's own ability determines the ability of the team  There is a low limit of strength, but the upper limit is also bound.

    Tonight we will play the Lakers with Kenny Anderson absent. The Trail Blazers came to Los Angeles yesterday. PJ Carlesimo saw the Lakers' defense when they started Magic last night and decided to take advantage of the opening period, so he decided  Let Nash start.

    Nash finished applying powder and was getting ready to play. When he turned around, he saw a tall, thin, handsome but somewhat green young man who looked like he had just walked into college looking at him.

    Although the opponent's image is very good, and a large part of the reason why the league favors him is because of his image, when he saw this face, Nash's heart kept beating!

    It¡¯s not that I¡¯m excited, it¡¯s that I¡¯m scared!

    Nash quickly said: "I am not a high-ranking rookie, I am the 13th overall pick!"

    Zhang Hao tilted his neck - Am I so scary?

    Looking at the frightened Nash, Zhang Hao originally came to say hello, but now the bad water started to appear again, he squinted his eyes and smiled: "Really? No wonder you wear the No. 13 jersey. It's unfortunate. What I hate the most is  The number 13, especially the 13th overall pick!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 231 231. The aura of the Son of the Wind

    When Nash mentioned the 13th pick, what he immediately thought of was not himself. He felt that he and Zhang Hao had no grudges. He thought of Karl Malone, the most famous player with the 13th pick in the league today.

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s smile, Nash felt like Satan was smiling at him.

    Nash really didn¡¯t expect that such an inconspicuous rookie in the lottery could actually attract this guy¡¯s attention!

    Originally selected with the 13th overall pick, Nash was so excited at the draft that his expression management system collapsed. Now, he really wants to swap the picks with his teammates of the same generation who are still lingering at the end of the bench.  It doesn¡¯t matter if you get a salary!

    Because he was originally expected to be drafted in the late first round, he was actually selected in the lottery, which was completely unexpected.

    Zhang Hao felt very amused when he saw Nash like this, and wanted to continue teasing him. At this time, a sturdy guard protected Nash behind him, and next to him was a tall man who looked like he had a technical foul.

    "Gentleman, don't bully the rookie. If you have any questions, come at me!" After Isaiah Leder said this, he raised his head and stared at Zhang Hao.

    O¡¯Neal, Barkley, Magic, Ben Wallace and others quickly came behind Zhang Hao under the leadership of Boss Kenny in a suit.

    ? ? Immediately afterwards, Trail Blazers players such as Sabonis, Chris Dudley, Stacey Ogemon also gathered around.

    The referee who was still chatting quickly came up and squeezed in between the two groups of people. The head coaches of the two teams also panicked and tried to pull their own people away.

    The referee was still laughing and chatting for a while about whether Zhang Hao would provoke the opponent when the game started, because the opponent had Rasheed Wallace, a high-ranking rookie in the same class as Zhang Hao.

    Then, things happened, and it was bigger than they thought!  Two groups of people immediately surrounded him!

    Kenny Anderson is wearing a suit and feels so miserable. Why does his little brother love to cause trouble so much?

    Buckley thought very simply, just don¡¯t let Zhang Hao suffer, and fight by himself If a fight really breaks out, he can fight by himself. Can he take ten days and a half off?

    O¡¯Neal just wanted to join in the fun, and he didn¡¯t want Zhang Hao to be beaten. Zhang Hao was beaten and injured, who would come?

    The Trail Blazers are not the Portland Prison Brigade yet. Sabonis, Chris Dudley, Stacey Ogmon and others are all good old guys and are here to break up the fight.

    Zhang Hao looked at the battle, shook his head and said: "Okay, I won't bully the rookie"

    Does this mean you don¡¯t want the conflict to expand?  Kenny Anderson is so happy!  The little brother finally looks a little grown up

    At this time, Kenny Anderson saw Zhang Hao turning to look at Rasheed Wallace and said: "Then I will bully you, Rasheed."

    Why!  Rasheed Wallace is in bad shape. What does "then bully you" mean?

    I look like someone who is easy to bully?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of this guy, I was just here to join in the fun!

    No one else expected that Zhang Hao would suddenly say this. The players were all quiet for a moment How on earth did this guy say such words with such a calm expression?

    Zhang Hao continued: "Let's make a bet to see who of us scores higher tonight. If I score at least 10 points higher than you, and we win, you will be my sparring partner for a summer."

    "Why should you" Rasheed Wallace immediately refused, but before he finished speaking, he heard Isaiah Leder next to him saying¡ª¡ª

    "Do you really think you are sure to win? We bet with you, what will you do if you lose?"

    Zhang Hao's expression remained calm and he said to Isaiah Leder: "I lost the bet. I will be his sparring partner during the offseason."

    "Okay! It's settled!" After Isaiah Leder said, he protected Nash and turned to leave, and a group of Trail Blazers also retreated.

    Rasheed Wallace, one of the parties involved, had inexplicably accepted the bet before he could finish a sentence. He wanted to say something, but was pulled away directly.

    Isaiah Lederer is very loyal and famous for his pricks, but he is not a fool. The three fat and 50 super giants of the Lakers are surrounding him, and he will definitely suffer in the fight.

    It¡¯s just that Rasheed Wallace is not as vicious as he looks. On the contrary, he does not want to expand the conflict at all, and his logical thinking is better than that of his teammates.

    He just wants to say one thing now: "Whether I win or lose this bet, I have to be that guy's sparring partner! Where is your brain? Where is your brain?"

    ¡­¡­

    My teammates are causing trouble again, which is causing headaches

    It¡¯s Zhang Hao!  That's okay.

    During the conflict, Zhang Hao made a bet with his opponent that his score would be 10 points higher than the opponent's?

    &n??Gary Trent said: "There is no need to double attack, I can defend it alone."

    He said this, but Sabonis was nodding towards Gary Trent.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Blazers battle to hold down the position.

    Nash advanced to the frontcourt, and Robert Parker on the sidelines was waiting to watch the show.

    When he came to the Trail Blazers, Robert Parker wanted to be the core of the outside line, but he didn't perform as well as Isaiah Leder in the beginning. Now he has been snatched away from the starting lineup by a skinny rookie.

    As a rookie, Nash's rookie season did not go well, especially when he showed some abilities, which made Robert Parker, who could barely perform first-class performance in a strong team, very afraid.

    However, this time Nash was very focused after advancing to the frontcourt and did not wander as before. When Zhang Hao pressed forward like in the previous round and tried to continue to attack Nash, Nash seized the opportunity and changed direction to break through!

    Zhang Hao judged the direction of Nash's breakthrough. Although Nash was very fast, Zhang Hao still gave Nash a reasonable confrontation.

    However, Nash's core strength is quite good. He maintained his balance under confrontation and steadily broke into the free throw line.

    Zhang Hao turned around and chased after him. Nash stopped at the free throw line, stepped back, and took a mid-range shot

    Zhang Hao's stretched out arm was a beat slower, and Nash had already thrown it.

    Nash played this ball very resolutely. Although the game had just begun, he had already put all his courage on this ball.

    Watching the ball just fly out, Zhang Hao's hand was slowed down and fanned up. Watching the ball fly high and fall into the basket, the expression management system on Nash's face went out of control again, revealing the moment when he was selected in the lottery.  The same expression, the smile is so scary.

    Nash showed one of his very good strengths-the ability to defeat the big with the small!

    When Nash breaks through like this, Sabonis pulls directly outside the three-point line, and at a 45-degree angle. If there is a chance to catch the ball, he will catch and shoot. Nash will do it himself or Nash passes it to others to shoot, and Sabonis will immediately retreat.

    As the center on the defensive side, O'Neal will definitely take back the Blazers players to grab the board after they shoot. Sabonis also took this into consideration. He and Gary Trent were the first to return to the backcourt to hold down the position and prevent the front of the box.  The field combination starts a fast break!

    Zhang Hao did not force a fast break. There was no need. The opponent had Sabonis and Nash. If he failed to make a fast break, he was likely to be counterattacked.

    Falling into a positional battle, the Magic still gave the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal wanted to try to single out Sabonis, but did not double-team and successfully received the ball. Olajuwon could not guard him alone.

    However, as soon as he knocked the 127-kilogram Sabonis back with all his strength, Gary Trent had already released Zhang Hao, shrinking and pinching in place!

    What Sabonis said just now was a lie to O'Neal!

    But O'Neal didn't force it. He grabbed the ball and protected it without being intercepted by the opponent, and quickly passed it to Barkley.

    Isaiah Leder quickly made up for Barkley, and Barkley passed the ball back to Magic who was at the top of the arc. Magic had an open opportunity at the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer

    The Lakers played well by simply catching the ball, being double-teamed, and then passing the ball when defended. Unfortunately, Magic's three-pointer was missed.

    Sabonis held O'Neal in the rebound position, and Nash, Isaiah Leder and Rasheed Wallace rushed out!

    O'Neal, who was closest to Sabonis, saw that Sabonis was like a quarterback on the football field. The pass passed to Nash who ran to the opposite corner. The pass was accurate and the timing was just right.  .

    Nash received the ball. Zhang Hao, who immediately retreated from defense, took the first step back to the basket and immediately made up for it. Nash threw the ball high and Rasheed Wallace dunked and scored two points!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 232 232. Everything starts with joining Duke on the 24th

    Sabonis passed the ball to the opponent's bottom corner, and Nash caught the ball and attracted a double attack and passed the ball high to the middle The cooperation was smooth and smooth.

    It is not surprising that Sabonis can organize such a fast break. Magic has studied Sabonis' passing during the offseason. Now, for him, Sabonis's fast break method is more suitable for him.

    Nash¡¯s speed, awareness of movement, and awareness of passing the ball all amazed the Magic!

    "If this rookie enters the NBA five years ago" Magic thought about the offensive era, the era when the three-point line was not shortened. If the offensive core combination of Sabonis and Nash was in that era, it would definitely take off!

    "But the Bad Boy Legion was still there five years ago. If you play like this, you won't be beaten to death"

    It¡¯s really amazing. With this goal, the fans at the scene seemed to see the shadow of showtime.

    Zhang Hao was surprised that Nash adjusted so quickly and played so boldly, which means that Rasheed Wallace has strong athletic ability and can keep up with this anticipatory high throw pass.

    But Nash is not important at all. What is important is Rasheed Wallace, the No. 4 pick who was tied with Zhang in the top five power forwards in the 1995 class, is not as timid as last season and is actively looking for offensive opportunities.  .

    Obviously, this guy wants to compete with Zhang!

    After receiving the serve from running back Doug Christie, Zhang Hao advanced to the frontcourt. O'Neal stopped asking for the ball and stood on the right side of the three-second area. Barkley came to the middle distance on the left and saw that Zhang Hao was holding the ball to attack.  , Barkley moved to the baseline, Magic went to the right side of the free throw line to connect, Doug Christie came to the left sideline beyond the three-point line, and the space opened up.

    Gary Trent chose to press up to defend after Zhang Hao came outside the three-point line. He was 203 centimeters tall and faced Zhang Hao, who was officially 206 centimeters tall. He felt that he was too tall and was at too great a disadvantage. If he didn't press up immediately, it would be such a waste.  Than definitely vote the first time.

    Zhang Hao took the opportunity to break through!

    He failed to trigger the "King of Cross Steps", but it didn't matter. His opponent was not Grant Hill or Pippen. He was fast enough. When Zhang Hao broke through a reasonable confrontation, he raised an elbow and held Gary Trent.  Compared with the confrontation between some centers, he went straight to the basket!

    Rasheed Wallace, who usually doesn't like to defend, became active this time. He immediately took it back from the left baseline and blocked the defense in place!

    Barkley chose to cut in when Rasheed Wallace was shrinking. Sabonis chose to block Barkley. When Rasheed Wallace blocked Zhang Hao, he waved his arms to prevent Zhang Hao from passing to the basket. Zhang Hao did not choose to pass.  Barkley, who had a better chance but would be interfered by Sabonis, took a direct throw and missed!

    But O¡¯Neal rushed in from the right side of the three-second zone and scored two points with a make-up dunk!

    Zhang Hao quickly retreated and looked at Rasheed Wallace who picked up the ball and sent it to Nash.

    "Tianzun's defensive awareness is really good. No wonder he will become a top defensive center later. He is so good at covering up defense. It's just that he doesn't seem to have defensive motivation at this age, and his usual defense is average He can be coached next summer.  I'll help defend!"

    Retreating to the backcourt, Zhang Hao stopped at the free throw line and waited for Nash to advance slowly.

    The Trail Blazers are very disciplined when attacking. They will never start a fast break if they don't have the opportunity to avoid being counterattacked by the Lakers.

    O¡¯Neal ran back to the three-point line a little later than Zhang Hao, stopped at the three-point line, stared at Zhang Hao and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you know how to pass the ball just now?¡±

    "Wouldn't it be better if you dunked and got an extra rebound?"

    "" O'Neal didn't know how to respond.

    It seems that this is also the case

    Nash advanced to the frontcourt, and the Lakers were already in a defensive position.

    He wanted to continue to play Zhang Hao in singles, but Nash saw that Zhang Hao did not press forward, but took one step inside the three-point line and used the center-level height and wingspan, guard-level speed and flexibility to defend against three-pointers.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s size and athletic ability gave Nash a strong sense of oppression. He felt that as long as he grabbed the ball and shot, Zhang Hao could interfere or even hit him without even jumping!

    However, this time Nash did not lose his focus again, but waved for a pick-and-roll, and Rasheed Wallace came up to block Zhang Hao!

    Nash broke through from the right, and Barkley blocked it in time. However, although Nash was not strong enough, his core strength was very stable. After encountering the confrontation, he relied on flexibility to withdraw in time and smoothly broke into the inside.

    Isaiah Leder cut in from the left, and Doug Christie had a gap in athletic ability and strength with the dunk king, so he failed to cause interference. O'Neal quickly retreated to the basket to protect the basket, and Nash burst in.  From the low position on the right side of the three-second zone, Zhang Hao quickly shrank towards Sabonis.

    But Nash grabbed the ball and pushed it to the left baseline.Si saw Zhang Hao usually choose a layup when cutting to catch the ball, and insisted on dunking through O'Neal, and he kept complaining.

    What should we do if our genius high school student spoils his game?

    We are both high school students, why are we in such a hurry!

    pj-Carlesimo was very decisive in calling a timeout and replaced O'Neal Jr., who had experienced the cruelty of society, with veteran Chris Dudley.

    As the 75th overall pick in the fourth round of 1987, Chris Dudley only had a salary of US$80,000 in his rookie season. However, later on, he could always get a high salary despite average statistics, and he was still strong.  There is a reason why the team gets high salaries.

    At any moment, Chris Dudley has a clear understanding that he is just an ordinary role player, and he has rich experience playing in strong teams all year round. He provides Nash and Rasheed Wallace with good offensive and defensive ends.  provide help.

    The Trail Blazers' offensive continued fiercely. Nash and Rasheed Wallace played very excitedly against Zhang Hao. They didn't rest for a second in the first half and played the full game, which also helped the Trail Blazers score 68 points in the half.  High score, also scored 31 points in the second quarter!

    As for the Lakers, although they played a 9-7 wave at the beginning, the subsequent offense was not as fierce as the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers had more favorable game conditions and their teammates shot well tonight and took the opportunity to get 8 assists in the half.  Nash, the Lakers are missing offensive playmaker Kenny Anderson.

    The Lakers only scored 27 points in the second quarter. After halftime, the Lakers trailed the Trail Blazers by 10 points, 58 to 68!

    Indeed, without Kenny Anderson, the Lakers' offense, which was originally ranked first in the league, was no match for the Trail Blazers, who were already one of the top five offensive teams in the league and have been strengthened. They fell behind by 10 points at halftime!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know why. When he returned to the locker room after the game, he walked to the bathroom unknowingly and looked at that handsome face in the mirror. He was under great pressure!

    The situation is very bad!  The 10-game winning streak may be ended!

    This is not to say that it is enough to tighten up. He did not expect that their defensive end collapsed because Kenny, the boss, could not play.

    But basketball games are like this. Sometimes it really doesn¡¯t depend on pure offensive or defensive strength. Like O¡¯Neal, the offensive end is strongest in isolation, otherwise it will only be a cake. But O¡¯Neal¡¯s ability to protect the frame can also play a big role in the offense.  Help, as long as the interception is successfully completed and the rebound is quickly grabbed, the Lakers will have a chance to counterattack.

    Thinking of O'Neal and Barkley

    Zhang Hao felt that he had to do it himself.

    However, he tried his best, scoring 25 points in the half, 13 points in the first quarter, and 12 points in the second quarter. In addition, he had 3 assists and 1 block. He could not do better.

    I took a look at the task of "Leading the Show". Currently, I have only played 23 games. Is this going to be over?

    Medal + matching training card, as well as the peak star experience card of the four power forwards of the 1995 class

    Zhang Hao looked at the reward space

    "Try it, there is no other way anyway. If it doesn't work well, then lose, you have to give it a try! Just use this, be safer"

    After making up your mind, the system prompts you!

    "The host uses the player star experience card selected for the first team in the rookie season. The object of use is: special contract player Zhang Hao. It was randomly selected"

    "Congratulations to the host for randomly obtaining the Larry Bird 1979-1980 season star experience card. It is used for: special contract player Zhang Hao. The matching bonus is in progress"

    "Larry Bird 1979-1980 version (rookie), 23 years old, height 206 cm, weight 100 kg, ability evaluation 94, offense 97, defense 90near a perfect match"

    Season achievements: All-NBA first team, All-Star substitute, fourth in mvp votes

    "Leading the team's performance improved"

    This is actually an evaluation of a rookie¡¯s ability, Zhang Hao looked outrageous!

    He thought for a while, could he develop his skills to this level in another three years?

    The result may be no!  Even if there is no upper limit for each offensive skill talent, it is almost impossible to develop skills like Big Bird at the age of 23!

    Unless I get a few more training cards

    "We have to hurry up and find a way to lock Iverson and 58Eh? Yes!"

    With this stimulation, Zhang Hao really thought of a way.

    Put that matter aside for now and focus on the introduction of the star experience card.

    Zhang Hao looked at the introduction of Larry Bird's rookie star experience card. After winning the championship in 1976, the Celtics dynasty came to an end. There were only 44 wins in the 1976-77 season and 32 wins in the 77-78 season. And in 1978, he was selected  Larry Bird, who was automatically eligible for the draft when he was 22 years old at the time.

    But Larry Bird rejected Auerbach's invitation and planned to enter the NBA after college. In the next 78-79 season, the Celtics were even worse, with only 29 wins. In the 79-80 season, Larry  -After Bird joined, the Celtics rushed directly to first place in the Eastern Conference with 61 wins, but unfortunately lost to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the MVP competition.

    Zhang Hao remembers that among the "inspirational deeds" he has seen of Larry Bird, he has been an mvp candidate since his rookie season, but in the first four years of his career, he ranked second in mvp three years and fourth once.  I didn¡¯t win the mvp until the 5th year of my career, and I won it for 3 consecutive years

    In other words, Larry Bird was almost complete when he entered the NBA. He won the first team and was first in the Eastern Conference for a year to adapt. Starting from the second season, he has been competing for mvp and championship every year!

    Zhang Hao was marveling at the introduction of Larry Bird's rookie season star experience card. Suddenly, he felt that the fatigue in his body was swept away. There was a thought in his mind that he quickly skipped but could remember and didn't know why. He just knew how to wait.  A memory of how to play that will disappear once it¡¯s over

    Soon, his vision returned and the content of the subtitles changed.

    "Specially signed player Zhang Hao has completed the star experience card strength bonus, with a matching degree of 95%, avoiding negative bonuses caused by differences in physical fitness, technology, etc., and will own the 1979-1980 version of Larry with his own physical fitness experience -  Bird's technical style of play

    Special signing player Zhang Hao¡¯s temporary ability evaluation: 99

    Physical fitness: 89 speed, 92 strength (89 explosive power), 94 jumping, 94 flexibility, 95 physical strength

    Shooting: 85 three-pointers (90 three-pointers in the top arc area, 81 in other positions), 95 mid-range shots, 93 layups

    Skills: 88 ball control, 84 passing, 92 catch and shoot, 92 catch and turn jump shot, 95 post-up jump shot, 90 cutting, 85 jump step, 89 turn, 93 step back, 95 post-up skills

    ?Special Card: Kill with one hit (can be used once in this game).

    One-hit kill: Zhang Hao specifies a regular shooting position during the game, loudly tells his opponent where he is going to shoot, and then goes all out to complete the shot. If it is not blocked, it will definitely hit.  "

    Zhang Hao looked at a series of 90+ words in the subtitles

    Originally, Zhang Hao regretted not being Chamberlain, but now

    "Oh my god! It's actually this way of experience, it's my physical fitness that allows me to experience how other stars play!

    If the reward for this mission is not to draw Garnett¡¯s peak star card, it will really be a loss!  "

    ¡­¡­

    The second half of the game is about to begin. The two teams returned to the court after finishing their halftime arrangements.

    Trailing by 10 points at halftime, the fans at the scene were very calm, the Lakers players were very calm, and Del Harris had a headache!

    This group of bad team members are so calm right now!  Get excited!

    What about the dead child?  Why don't you stand up and give some advice?

    At the beginning of the game, I stimulated the opponent. The two players of the opponent were runaway. Now pretending to be dead?

    Where are you gritting your teeth?

    Where¡¯s the jersey?

    Seeing Zhang Hao moving his body calmly, Del Harris wanted to rush up, grab Zhang Hao's jersey and stuff it into his mouth!

    The fans at the scene were not anxious, weren¡¯t they just 10 points behind? Zhang Hao played so well in the first half, scoring 25 points at halftimeThe doctor was really crazy when he saw that all the other shots were scored. At this time, the voice that sounded a little childish but made people crazy when he heard it came again

    "Rashid, and the 13th overall pick, I'll score one more goal, and the two of you combined won't score more than me. How about you come together!"

    After saying that, Zhang Hao turned around and ran back to the backcourt.

    It¡¯s so bullying!  How could anyone be so bad?

    And why is this guy so good-looking despite being so bad?

    And I, Rasheed Wallace, am so gentle, but I look so easy to scare people?

    Why!

    I don¡¯t accept it!

    Rasheed Wallace ran towards the frontcourt angrily.

    63 to 70, 7 points difference.

    During the transition between offense and defense, the Trail Blazers attacked. After Rasheed Wallace arrived in the frontcourt, he leaned against Magic in the top corner on the left side of the free throw line to ask for the ball!

    Nash was calm, but Rasheed Wallace couldn't be calm anymore. Nash thought quickly and passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace. His teammates kept running and occasionally needed someone to hold the ball and attack.  , Rasheed Wallace is obviously the Blazers' strongest singles player on the court.

    Magic stuck closely to Rasheed Wallace and did not give the opponent a chance to use his height and wingspan to take a direct shot. Rasheed Wallace took the opportunity to break through and get to the basket, facing Zhang Hao's strong defense.  Starting to deduct

    Zhang Hao is good at protecting the frame. Now, when he is defending, he can judge the opponent's movement route more clearly.

    Zhang Hao made a decisive decision to move. When Rasheed Wallace took off, he also moved in place and had space to jump. He took off almost at the same time as Rasheed Wallace and slapped Rasheed from the front.  -Wallace dunked the ball down!

    The Magician who was chasing after him grabbed the ball and prepared to launch a counterattack He was hugged by Sabonis and the Blazers committed a tactical foul!

    Magician is a little regretful. If this counterattack is scored, the point difference will be reduced to 5 points, and it will enter a different stage.

    At this time, the magician heard a voice coming from the side.

    "It doesn't matter, they are just trying to delay the arrival of despair"

    The magician was stunned for a moment, this is too arrogant!

    Seeing Zhang Hao delaying getting out of the baseline, he understood and ran out to serve to Zhang Hao. The magician never thought that he would actually serve to another inside player, and the opponent advanced with the ball

    And Zhang Hao talked more tonight!  As a teammate, Magic's words just now felt too pretentious.

    "He's obviously my little brother, why do I feel like I'm being cheated on?"

    When advancing to the middle circle, Zhang Hao suddenly thought of a way to play.

    If you think it¡¯s fun, then play!

    Zhang Hao started to accelerate from the mid-line, and when he was close to the three-point line, he had already started to speed up. He reached the fastest speed, broke through diagonally, and directly passed Rasheed Wallace at the top of the arc. Rasheed Wallace  I moved sideways and tried to fight, but I still couldn't keep up!

    Straight to the basket!

    Sabonis couldn't do anything about it, and watched Zhang Hao hit a shot from close range.

    How can anyone play ball like this?

    Even a physical monster like Jordan wouldn¡¯t think about accelerating from the midline!

    It¡¯s not just that Jordan has better breakthrough skills to use, but the midline starts to accelerate the breakthrough, which is equivalent to a counterattack.

    Counterattack is a relatively expensive style of play. The goal is to avoid confrontation in defense. If you don't make a shot, it will waste your energy. Zhang Hao's play just now is equivalent to a defensive counterattack under the basket, which is Zhang Hao's only big one.  Sabonis felt that he would be fouled if he pounced on him, so he just gave up.

    But no matter what, Zhang Hao made the shot, 65 to 70, the point difference narrowed to 5 points. Zhang Hao hit a wave of 7 to 2 alone, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout!

    The Trail Blazers players were a little dazed after being beaten for the past two minutes. They wanted to go back to the bench to calm down, but that childish and plain but irritating voice came again

    "Too weak, too weak, Rashid, the 13th pick, what does your performance mean? Can you make me happier?"

    Isaiah Leder couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and immediately turned around and rushed towards Zhang Haoand was hugged by his teammates.

    Rasheed Wallace hugged Isaiah Leder and said in his ear: "He dares to beat Coleman. If you can't beat him, you will be beaten to death!"

    These words made Isaiah Leder even more irritable. The referee who was walking towards the technical table heard the commotion here and turned around to see Rasheed Wallace with a ferocious face hugging Isaiah roughly.  Ya-Leder

    This is the abused and angry, and the teammates do not perform well to play teammates?

    The bald referee blew the whistle and made a T-movement towards Rasheed Wallace!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Do you want to beat your teammates if you feel abused or angry because they don't perform well?

    The bald referee blew the whistle and made a T-movement towards Rasheed Wallace!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 234 234. Horrible single section!

    The whistle came first, and then the technical offense was like a dragon!

    Rasheed Wallace looked at the referee in astonishment. He couldn't help but raise his chin, looked along the direction of his nose toward the bald head, and shouted: "No!"

    Why did he commit a technical offense again?

    When the bald referee saw Rasheed Wallace's ferocious expression, his mouth bulged again, and he was about to blow the whistle again. The assistant referee moved to Crawford's side at the speed of light, and pressed one hand on the outlet of the whistle.  He stopped and quickly explained the situation.

    Hearing the cheers from the fans and seeing everyone¡¯s attention focused on the bald referee

    Zhang Hao feels like his limelight has been robbed!

    Bald Crawford came out to steal the show when he had nothing to do!  The assistant referee at the bottom line didn't even blow his whistle!

    "Wait a minute, he won't punish Tianzun!"  Zhang Hao felt that he hadn't had enough fun yet!

    After learning the cause and effect of the incident, the bald referee was embarrassed when he saw all the Lakers players gathered around Zhang Hao.

    ??This is really something no one could have imagined. The referee turned around and saw Rasheed Wallace, and without saying a word, he directly gave a technical foul without considering any reason at all, and he didn't even start the fight like usual!

    Isaiah Leder¡¯s temper has been wiped out, and now he is dragging the roaring Tianzun who wants to glare at the referee to get his lunch box.  ,

    He also doesn¡¯t understand why Rasheed Wallace is so short of technical fouls?

    After finally pulling Rasheed Wallace back to the bench, I took a closer look Well, I didn't notice it before, but now Isaiah Leder discovered that Rasheed Wallace really has a longer one.  The technical criminal's face should be eaten.

    Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, the game has just begun, how can there be no big villain?

    Although he thinks that one person behaves like a villain, and the other person acts like a template for the protagonist who wants to be slapped in the face

    The three referees gathered around to discuss and saw that Zhang Hao had scored 32 points. They had already known about Zhang Hao's "bet" with the opponent. Although this game was not broadcast live, it would definitely become a popular game after the game. The league was going to sell it.  The one who was videotaped was a technical offender to make up for the provocative Zhang Hao?  It's not appropriate either. What's wrong with people being so arrogant?

    ¡°These days, if a genius is not arrogant, the referee will find it strange.

    As for Rasheed Wallace, who is the protagonist templateif you blow it, blow it. When people who are the protagonist template appear on the stage, aren't they always treated like this?

    Generally speaking, villains like Zhang Hao always have smooth sailing

    The referee signaled Zhang Hao to take a free throw, and Zhang Hao easily made the extra free throw.

    After the extra penalty was completed, Zhang Hao returned to the bench and recalled the attack just now.

    Playing like this is very tiring, but now there is no need to worry about physical issues. The first half was full, and I used the star experience card to refresh my physical energy during the halftime break. Even if I ran out of physical strength in the third quarter, I still had jerseys to chew on in the final quarter and it was big.  Bird's physical strength is very good, better than Zhang himself.

    "This style of play can be used occasionally in the third quarter when I am not better at controlling the ball, haven't practiced cross-stepping yet, and am attacking with the ball instead of catching the ball and suddenly accelerating.  Jersey!¡±

    The teammates looked at Zhang Hao and felt incredible.

    This young teammate, who has only turned 20 in more than half a month, looked evil and wild just now, but now he is thinking so calmly.

    How is it done?

    But in the few minutes just now, Zhang Hao scored 8 points in a row, helping them play an 8-2 wave, and the score reached 66-70, completely narrowing the point difference!

    In this situation, the teammates think crazy!  The little boss can be crazy!  How crazy is love!

    ¡­¡­

    Nash kept comforting Rasheed Wallace, who had just become a friend. Rasheed Wallace felt the malice of this face-judging world, suppressed his grief and anger and walked onto the court.

    The Trail Blazers did not rotate. The third quarter had just begun, and their offensive performance was not bad. Originally, PJ Carlesimo just wanted to interrupt Zhang Hao's rhythm.

    The Lakers instead performed a rotation, Magic was replaced, and the combination of Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Barkley, and Jason Williams came on the court to improve their rebounding protection capabilities.

    Del Harris feels that Brian Shaw is too useful. In terms of strength, he is average, but he can play wherever he wants. He is a versatile player on the outside. So far this season, he has averaged 18 minutes per game and scored 4.8 points and 3.2 points.  2.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.6 blocks. Except for being a little expensive, he is a perfect role player.

    After the timeout, the Trail Blazers attack.

    Older rookies have advantages that future 19- and 20-year-old rookies do not have, and they have solid psychological quality.

    This is what happened to Nash, facing Doug Kerr.sp; Zhang Hao scored 23 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in the third quarter, and his data increased to 48 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 blocks and 3 steals!

    ¡­¡­

    The fans at the scene were already excited!

    It is foreseeable that Zhang Hao will definitely be able to complete a 50+ triple-double in the fourth quarter!

    Lakers fans are very sorry that they were unable to see Zhang Hao¡¯s super triple-double at home last year. They will have a chance tonight!

    ¡° Moreover, with Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring performance tonight, there is no chance of scoring more than 12 points in the final quarter Fans who bought tickets to watch the game feel like they have made a lot of money!  This is not a popular game, and there is no live broadcast. Only they can see Zhang Hao's performance in person for the first time!

    On the other side, the Trail Blazers players were beaten to the point of being stunned.

    It was okay during the game. During the break, I saw the score of 50 to 27 in the single quarter on the big screen. I saw that in the second half of the quarter, I scored 23 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in a single quarter.  Zhang Hao, who may not be able to produce data that other stars can achieve throughout the game

    Last season, when I saw the Knicks being beaten by Zhang Hao, I was just watching the news. Although it felt terrible, I was still watching other people's excitement.

    This time, they are in that background!

    They feel like they are the poor protagonists in the story, who have done nothing but were provoked and abused!

    There is no justice!

    How could they encounter such a little devil!

    pj-Carlesimo looked at Nash with 18 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, and Rasheed Wallace with 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks The two of them worked hard, but still scored 1 point less than Zhang Hao.

    Looking at the score difference again, especially the score comparison in the second half, he wanted to give up this game.

    If Zhang Hao surges as hard as he did in the third quarter in the fourth quarter, whether it is 60+ in a single game or a super triple-double, it will be a huge blow to them!

    The main thing is that they are two geniuses who are targeted by the devil Let's not mention whether Nash and Rasheed Wallace can score 20 points in a single quarter again. Even if they win the bet, the combined scoring ratio of the two  Zhang Hao scores more, so what?

    This kind of "victory" will only hurt them even more, because Zhang Hao has already turned the situation around on his own!

    However, such a game may be an opportunity for the two of them to work harderpj-Carlesimo decided to continue fighting!

    Although he felt that there was no hope of a comeback, he was still very active in mobilizing the players.

    Every coach has different coaching characteristics and different ideas for cultivating young players. PJ Carlesimo likes this rough method.

    Also, judging from this game, the 13-point difference is really not much. Moreover, the rookie worked so hard in the third quarter, especially in the second half of the quarter, although he did not score much, he worked very hard to attract the ball from the flank in various ways.  Three quarters have been played!  There will definitely be physical pressure

    ???????????? Arrange tactics to fool No, it¡¯s to encourage the players. As he talks, pj Carlesimo himself feels that his confidence has doubled!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 235 235. He seems to be in another era

    The third quarter was crazy. They won the game by 23 points in one quarter, but the point difference was only 13 points. Del Harris did not dare to be careless. If he was overturned in this situation, it would be a huge loss.

    The fourth quarter of the game was about to begin, and Del Harris sent a combination of James Robinson, Doug Christie, Brian Shaw, Zhang Hao, and O'Neal.

    The Trail Blazers continue to field a combination of Nash, Isaiah Leder, Stacey Augmon, Rasheed Wallace and Sabonis.

    Watching Zhang Hao come on the field with his jersey in his mouth, his teammates couldn't help but gasp.

    Teammates are already familiar with this scene. Every time Zhang Hao takes the field with his jersey in his mouth, he will play harder and usually better than in the previous few minutes!

    In the third quarter, the Lakers scored 50 points in a single quarter, which was the highest single quarter score by any NBA team in the past nine years after the Suns scored 57 points in the second quarter against the Nuggets in 1990.

    This single quarter score ranks highest in the history of the Lakers, and it can also rank second. During the 1966 playoffs, the Lakers scored 51 points in the third quarter of a game, which was the highest score by a team in a single quarter in NBA history.  record.

    Even now, Zhang Hao still refuses to let him go!

    It is worth mentioning that the NBA team¡¯s historical record for scoring in a single quarter is 58 points

    The fourth quarter begins with the Lakers attacking first.

    Doug Christie passes the ball to Brian Shaw.

    When Zhang Hao encountered Rasheed Wallace, he flexibly turned his back and cut inside. Brian Xiao delivered the ball to Zhang Hao in time.

    Zhang Hao caught the ball from the baseline and shot a mid-range shot his physical strength was at full strength, all his efforts were in the most perfect condition, and he hit a mid-range shot.

    In fact, he was not tired after the third quarter, but he still sucked his jersey to regain his physical strength. Since the first three quarters were full, the physical strength he recovered was the physical strength he had at the beginning of the third quarter, which means he regained full physical strength!

    50 points!

    After one game, Zhang Hao scored 50 points in the second game of back-to-back games, and the fourth quarter has just begun!

    110 to 95, the Lakers lead reached 15 points.

    When the Trail Blazers attack, they are going to use a three-point tactic. After Sabonis reaches the frontcourt, he first goes to the three-second area. Nash passes the ball to Rasheed Wallace who is one step inside the top arc. The ball is transferred to the high post.  When the opponent's player's attention was attracted, Sabonis sneaked away from O'Neal and pulled to the left corner.

    Rasheed Wallace was about to pass the ball. Suddenly, Zhang Hao pounced on him, and his movements were very fast. He didn't look like a player who had played three quarters at all.

    Rasheed Wallace tilted the ball to the left, but Zhang Hao jumped up and knocked it away!

    Zhang Hao rushed out to catch the ball that he knocked away, lay on the floor and started to shoot the ball, and jumped forward

    Nash, who was still on the right side of the top arc, hurriedly chased after him and tried to steal. In Zhang Hao's posture, Nash really caught up with him when he jumped out and stood up.

    But just after Zhang Hao stood firm, he suddenly distanced himself from Nash!

    Nash was really shocked this time, Zhang Hao was faster than him!

    Zhang Hao rushed to the frontcourt and dunked the ball gently into the basket, stealing and counterattacking in one stop!

    From the moment Zhang Hao sprinted, the fans cheered wildly. After Zhang Hao dunked in, he immediately turned around and ran to the backcourt. When he saw Nash, he stretched out his hand towards Nash and spread his fingers

    52 to 47, Zhang Hao is 5 points ahead of Nash and Rasheed Wallace!

    Zhang Hao wants victory, Zhang Hao wants rewards, he wants them all!  Moreover, it is not something that Nash and Rasheed Wallace can do easily after they lose their fighting spirit. He wants to crush the two opponents with their full strength!

    Anger will bring extra strength to people. Nash is very angry now. Looking back, Nash faced Doug Christie's defense and rushed to the basket. He made a throw and caused O'Neal to foul.

    Extra free throws were also scored. As Nash's personal score increased to 21 points, he and Rasheed Wallace scored 50 points together.

    But immediately, Zhang Hao received the ball from Rasheed Wallace on the left side of the free throw line, turned around and broke through to meet Sabonis's defense at close range. Without passing the ball, he also scored with a throw, which also caused Sabonis's defense.  Nice foul!

    Zhang Hao made an extra free throw and scored 55 points!

    During the transition between offense and defense, Nash wanted to repeat the goal he scored in the previous round. This time O'Neal became more active and gave Nash a blood cap. Rasheed Wallace grabbed the offensive rebound and was pinned by Zhang Hao.  , Rasheed Wallace passed the ball to the left side of the three-second area, and Sabonis made a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.

    100 to 115, the Trail Blazers bit the point difference.

    There were more than 10 minutes left, and the Trail Blazers, who had been humiliated by Zhang Hao, did not want to give up no matter what.

    ?It's easy to try, but it's not necessary to fight against opponents who are not that strong.

    However, I felt like I was losing blood at first, but now, this kind of performance is worth everything!

    Although I still feel distressed, let¡¯s just treat it as an experiment. Anyway, the results are good.

    He didn't know what the effect of the star experience card was before. Before, he thought it was a player whose attributes all turned into the star experience card. Now he knows that it is based on the matching degree. If the matching degree is high, you can perfectly experience the skills of that player.  , that is to say, it is possible to draw a man with pure physical fitness and do the opposite

    The understanding is not comprehensive. In the future, if you get the star experience card of a player who is not that strong, you will have to continue to try.

    For the time being, none of this matters. Tonight, it¡¯s so exciting!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Before the game between the Lakers and Trail Blazers ended, the two TV stations that were broadcasting other games had already inserted news about the game between the Lakers and Trail Blazers and about Zhang Hao's performance.

    At the end of the game between the Lakers and Trail Blazers, it felt like the TV host was answering the phone, listening to the score, listening to the description and making a voice broadcast

    In the end, Zhang Hao got even more exaggerated data than on January 7 this year!

    64+12+10+6+5, this data, the commentators who commented on other games were still shouting "I bought it" after Zhang Hao was replaced.

    With the evening news that night, the official report came out. By the next morning, through newspapers, morning sports news and some entertainment channels, Zhang Hao¡¯s crazy statistics once again shocked the basketball world!

    No TV station will broadcast this game live, but several TV stations have announced that they will broadcast the video in the next few days.

    At present, many stars in the league have seen a significant decline in their data compared to the past few years due to increasingly strong defense.

    There are more stars averaging over 20 points per game, but there are only 4 stars averaging 25+ points per game so far in the new season.

    Explosive scoring has become less frequent, while explosive rebounding performances have become more frequent.

    But such a situation did not happen to Zhang Hao!

    Zhang Hao once again performed a performance that no one could perform in the ancient era of basketball!

    It seems that the so-called era of strongest defense in NBA history has no effect on Zhang Hao!

    When the news came out that Zhang Hao provoked Rasheed Wallace during the game, the fans were speechless - how unwilling was he to not be the first pick?

    Joe Smith is very low-key this year, just because he is afraid that others will think of him as the No. 1 pick.

    But helplessly, people pulled him out to compare with Zhang Hao.

    What Zhang Hao said to Rasheed Wallace and Nash after the game was ridiculed as "really domineering".

    At this time, Japan¡¯s Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company came out to take advantage of the popularity and advertised on Time Warner Television¡¯s three national-level channels.

    The advertising screen is very short, 15 seconds, just one shot.

    Zhang Hao asked the camera, "Do you still believe in light?"

    Then, Zhang Hao's body shone with light and transformed into the image of Ultraman. Ultraman had an obvious x mark on his chest

    At 7 a.m. on December 15th, US time, and 8 p.m. Japan time, Japan's jnn Japan News Network began broadcasting two episodes of "Ultraman x" every day.

    After nearly half a year of communication, China¡¯s CCTV Children¡¯s Channel has also obtained the free broadcast rights and will broadcast two episodes every day at 10 pm on December 15.

    Just last night, Time Warner Cable¡¯s TV series channel chose to change the schedule!  Starting at 12:30 noon today, two episodes will be played every day!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 236 236. He is still the same person

    On the morning of December 16, after a day¡¯s rest, the Lakers¡¯ third consecutive home game came. Today, the Lakers¡¯ opponent was the Pacers.

    Zhang Hao has a 60+ triple-double for the second time in his career and the second time in NBA history. The popularity continues.

    And Zhang Hao¡¯s 64-point 5*5 performance was also the first time in NBA history.

    Teammates felt that Zhang Hao was quite happy today, and he was singing during the intervals between training preparations.

    "If any Chinese people watched the 10 o'clock imperial TV series channel yesterday and heard the song he hummed, they would immediately know what the theme song of the TV series was.

    This morning, Zhang Hao received good news from Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company. After 22 years since "Ultraman Tyro" in 1974, the Ultraman series of tokusatsu films once again exceeded 20% of the ratings for a single episode.  Rate!  20.8% ratings!

    After "Ultraman Taro" achieved an average viewership rating of 17%, the ratings of the Ultraman series tokusatsu films continued to decline in Japan. By the time "Ultraman Eddie" reached an average viewership rating of only 10%  .

    After the popularity of Japanese television in the 1980s, it has become rare for Japanese TV series, animations, and special films to have single-episode ratings of more than 15%. That is to say, this time "Ultraman x" was a direct hit!

    Henry Thomas also received an endorsement invitation from Japan. Zhang Hao¡¯s reply to Henry Thomas was that Japanese brand endorsements can only be promoted in Japan. It doesn¡¯t matter whether the product is good or not. The key is that the endorsement fee must be high.

    ??And it must be clearly written in the contract that it can only be promoted in Japan. If it exceeds the scope of promotion, a huge liquidated damages must be paid. It must be written, otherwise it will not accept the endorsement in Japan.

    Henry Thomas didn¡¯t know why he had such a strange request, but it didn¡¯t matter, just follow what Zhang Hao said.

    He simply thought that Zhang Hao just wanted to make a profit from the Japanese.

    There is also good news from Zhang Hao's father, Zhang Weidong. Last night, the late-night ratings of the Chaoting TV drama channel reached 22%. Although at this time, the popularity of domestic TV dramas and the lack of TV resources, the ratings are not very high.  , the ratings of truly popular TV series are all above 40%, like Huanzhu, whose lines ruin three views, has an average rating of almost 60%, but this is not bad.

    After all, the first people to watch it are not children or movie fans, but sports fans.

    As for the United States, the midday ratings were 3%, which is not good, but it exceeded Time Warner Cable¡¯s expectations.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s dream came true. His childhood dream was to become Ultraman

    He also recorded the Chinese theme song for the domestic version. His singing is not professional but it¡¯s okay

    Teammates felt that Zhang Hao was very happy all morning, which was not surprising. The TV series was released and he played so well the night before.

    However, the teammates are also very happy today. Kenny Anderson is back and the game does not have to be so difficult.

    In the last game against the Trail Blazers, if Zhang Hao hadn't suddenly gone berserk in the second half, scoring 23 points and 6 assists in the third quarter to lead the team to 50 points in a single quarter, the best performance in a regular season quarter in team history, the winning streak would have been ended.  Lost!

    With 11 consecutive victories, their record improved to 20 wins and 4 losses!  After the Jazz lost last night, they finally rushed to first place in the Western Conference!

    Compared to the relaxed and happy atmosphere at the home team¡¯s training ground, the visiting team¡¯s training ground was bleak.

    Each team has played 23-25 ??games. The Pacers have played 25 games this season, one more than the Lakers, but the number of wins is less than half of the Lakers!

    9 points and 16 losses!

    There are quite a few teams in the Eastern Conference with worse records than them, but those teams took the initiative to destroy Bo Duncan, while their strength has plummeted.

    We have learned that Larry Bird, who has done something wrong, is actively negotiating with the Nuggets to trade Mark Jackson.

    But Mark Jackson came to the Nuggets and averaged 11 points and 12.5 assists in the first 24 games, beating Stockton and ranking first in the assists list. His salary was lower than what Mark Jackson originally asked for.  More than 1 million US dollars per year, but it is not that easy to trade it back.

    ????????????????????????

    The Nuggets do not have this noble sentiment. According to media reports, the Nuggets need at least three first-round picks before they are willing to send Mark Jackson.

    ¡­¡­

    The two teams with huge differences in strength and mood are preparing for tonight's game.

    On the other side, Robert Pelinka, the executive of Cayman Islands-based "I Secretly Opened a Company", has been preparing nervously all morning.

    He had to meet with the negotiating partner at two o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't even eat lunch. At 12 o'clock, he took a group of people from the company to a private club in Manhattan Beach to waitnbsp; As a result, I bought 400 million

    Microsoft has rich experience in acquisitions, and the technology transfer agreement was quickly completed. US$400 million in cash entered Zhang Hao's company account. In this era when the value of technology stocks is skyrocketing, Microsoft is the one that has risen the fastest, with a market value of 500 in 1995.  More than 100 million U.S. dollars, more than 70 billion U.S. dollars this year. A large amount of money has poured into Microsoft. They may be the technology company with the most cash at present.

    The technology industry in the United States is now dominated by technology transfer and acquisitions, because the technology transfer tax is only 6%.

    Yesterday, Microsoft announced that it had reached a cooperation agreement with 58 Technology and purchased all the icq-tim technology of 58 Technology. 58 Technology will split the icq-tim department to Microsoft in the future, and icq-tim will be renamed msft-tim. After that, Microsoft's market value  It increased by more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in one day.

    Spent 400 million and made it back in one day, the crazy era of the Internet bubble

    Today, Pelinka was also looking forward to receiving a bonus of US$500,000, but the remittance order received from Zhang Hao¡¯s father who rushed to the United States was for US$5 million.

    In other words, for every 40 million, he was given 500,000!

    "My son is afraid that you will refuse, so he asked me to give you this money. You should keep it. This is what you deserve."

    Thinking of what the boss¡¯s father said just now, Pelinka has really decided to work hard for the boss!

    In addition, he also has another idea - 5 million, how much tax will he have to pay next year!

    ¡­¡­

    On the other side, Zhang Hao has put aside the matter of selling for 400 million US dollars.

    After receiving the news, his father came to the United States to help Pelinka handle the follow-up matters of the transaction. He would have to take some of the money with him later. Domestic companies need funds, such as factories that have started producing x Ultraman peripherals and need to increase investment.  .

    In this regard, Zhang Hao handed it over to his father, who is currently in his 40s and is at the peak of his career. He also told his father to buy more courtyard houses in Beijing and houses and land that no one wanted in Pudong, Shanghai. He himself  Just do it during the Internet bubble period in the United States.

    After solving the problem of 58 Technology's shortage of funds, Zhang Hao left it alone and let Pelinka continue to work on the remaining software. Whatever he thought of could be achieved with the current level of technology, he let Pelinka work on it. He still likes to be on the basketball court.  The feeling of hard work.

    At 6:10 in the evening on the 18th, after making preparations for the game, Zhang Hao entered the court with his teammates and saw the genius who had entered the stage of decline-Anfernee Hardaway.

    "Anfernee Hardaway, 25 years old, 201 cm, 97.5 kg, ability evaluation 93, 96 offense, 82 defense, 74 three-pointers, 93 mid-range shots, 97 layups, 88 passing, 93 speed, 86 strength  Played 19 times this season, averaging 21 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.3 steals per gameshooting rate 44%, three-point shooting rate 31%"

    ? 25 years old is originally the age when a player enters the golden period of his career, but Zhang Hao saw that Anfernee Hardaway's ability evaluation, which is the ability displayed on the court, has declined compared to last year!

    Anfernee Hardaway, who only missed 5 games in the second grade in the first three years of his career, has only played less than half of this season and has already missed 6 games, which is more than the total number of games missed due to injury in the first three years of his career!

    On the contrary, O'Neal, who was known as the Glass Man in Orlando, was extremely healthy after his comeback

    Just when Zhang Hao was looking at Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s ability evaluation, the task prompt came!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 237 237. Discovered a Jingtian power

    "That man who is technically comprehensive, comprehensive and proficient, full of charm, and as dazzling as a star has begun to fall. Special contract player Zhang Hao will fight against Anfernee Hardaway, who is at his final peak. Optional mission: Star Reacher trigger.  "

    Note: 1. Only 1 mission target can be selected.

    2. When the host accepts and selects the mission target, Anfernee Hardaway's obsession with winning this game will be greatly enhanced.

    3. This task is optional and unique.  "

    About Penny¡¯s mission!

    "Star Reacherthe name of this mission is really good! The pennies in the past two years have really been as dazzling as stars"

    Zhang Hao looked back at Anfernee Hardaway's short but outstanding career. He entered the NBA at the age of 22 in 1993. He was already selected to the first team at the age of 24 in the 1994-95 season. He won the first team for two consecutive years last season.

    It is as strong as Stockton. He has played for 12 years and has only played twice in one game.

    At the age of only 25, he was judged to have begun to decline Although Zhang Hao couldn't say how deeply he felt, he at least still felt regretful.

    "If the Magic team's management doesn't have water in their heads, and Penny and the Sharks continue to combine Thinking of this, Zhang Hao thinks that if the Magic team's heads have water in their heads, it's better not to make them waterproof, otherwise he won't get fat.

    ???????????????????????????????????? As much as Penny loves it, they also have a rookie season MVP, three-time MVP, won 5 championships, and is expected to become the first person in history to retire at the peak of his career.

    The task must be accepted, it is a question of which goal to accept.

    Don¡¯t mention it, even if it¡¯s goal 1, Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s that easy to accomplish.

    ??Goal 2Zhang Hao knew it, it was ridiculously difficult!  You may not be able to win even if you score!

    Even though Anfernee Hardaway only averaged 21 points per game this season, the Bulls suffered their third loss of the season not long ago, which was to the Magic. Anfernee Hardaway was in the Bulls third team  Defensively, he scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, and his performance of 14-for-22 shooting was breathtaking.

    The Lakers' defense this season has been covered up by the fig leaf of 11 consecutive victories, and they rely on strong offensive firepower to save their respect.

    Averaged 111.3 points per game, conceded 104.2 points per game, ranked first in the league in points scored per game, and fourth in points conceded per game!

    There are only 8 teams that average over 100 points per game this season, the Celtics, 76ers, Warriors, Nuggets, Suns, Nets, Spurs, and the Lakers.

    Among them, only the Suns and the Lakers are not bad teams, and several other teams are competing for Duncan.

    The Suns are currently only seventh in the Western Conference, with a winning rate of less than 50%.

    The Bulls couldn¡¯t guard against Anfernee Hardaway, who got mad when he saw Jordan. The Lakers

    Rebounding is not a big problem, nor is blocking shots, but he can hardly do steals and assists.

    Even if his points, rebounds, and blocks are higher than those of Anfernee Hardaway, assists and steals are still a big problem.

    Zhang Hao glanced at the opposite side. Anfernee Hardaway was looking at their team with sharp eyes. He was not looking at Zhang, it seemed

    "The reason Pence is so excited is because she is going to fight against Big Fatty. That Big Fatty"

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao looked at O'Neal.

    O¡¯Neal is also staring at the opposite side. The former Magic team¡¯s super talented inside and outside combination is looking at each other!  Moreover, the eyes are very unfriendly!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw O¡¯Neal, who looked different today and was squealing with excitement!  Yes.

    O'Neal is really excited. He wants to play seriously in the game against his old club.

    Zhang Hao promised that as long as he wants to play singles, he must give him the ball.

    Although he doesn¡¯t like Zhang Hao, O¡¯Neill feels that Zhang Hao will not lie to others.

    O¡¯Neal was eager to try, when a person appeared next to him.

    &nb??The top arc is very afraid of Anfernee Hardaway's speed.

    But when Anfernee Hardaway accelerated backwards, Zhang Hao found that he could actually keep up!

    Anfernee Hardaway rushed to the right side of the three-second zone, but failed to get rid of Zhang Hao's defense covering the shooting space. He suddenly stepped back, opened the distance, and stepped back to take a long two-point shot

    Anfernee Hardaway reacted promptly and had good skills. He had the opportunity, but unfortunately he didn¡¯t make it.

    O¡¯Neal actively blocked and Barkley received the defensive rebound.

    Seeing Zhang Hao running towards the frontcourt, Barkley passed the ball to Kenny Anderson.

    Kenny Anderson felt a little sad. Didn¡¯t he just walk away for two games?  It was the same when he first came back in the last game. His teammates actually wanted to give the ball to Zhang Hao as soon as possible!

    Earlier, Kenny Anderson felt that the boss position was too heavy a burden, but he was still a little disappointed when it was about to be taken away.

    Advancing to the frontcourt, I saw Zhang Hao and Barkley opening up the breakthrough space. Facing Anfernee Hardaway's defense, Kenny Anderson broke through to the left after continuous cross-steps!

    Very unexpectedly, Anfernee Hardaway took a slow beat, a big beat, and Kenny Anderson rushed to the left side of the free throw line, stopped for a jump shot

    Although Anfernee Hardaway successfully reached out to the position where Kenny Anderson threw the ball less than a second after Kenny Anderson threw the ball, Kenny Anderson had already thrown the ball, and the emergency stop  Hit the jump shot!

    Kenny Anderson, who defended after scoring the goal, was surprised. He didn't like to meet Anfernee Hardaway because the opponent was fast, defensively aware, not particularly good but adequate, and had solid basic skills. There was a height difference of more than ten centimeters between the two of them.  , but Anfernee Hardaway is only a little slower than him. When playing Anfernee Hardaway before, he had very few opportunities to make pull-up jumpers.

    But today, he keenly judged the difference between Anfernee Hardaway and before, and seized the opportunity to make the shot.

    Zhang Hao, on his side, just now discovered something that he found strange when he saw Anfernee Hardaway before.

    ??Took another look at the player detection report

    Last year, Anfernee Hardaway was 92 kilograms, this year it is 97.5 kilograms. He remembered that Anfernee Hardaway's speed last year was 94, one of the fastest among the top speeds, only faster than Kenny Anderson.  A super-top level speed.

    "That is to say, after losing his weight in the summer, he gained more than 5 kilograms! Is he trying to strengthen his resistance? As a result, he became more susceptible to injury and his speed dropped"

    This kind of thing is not difficult to understand. What is missing in the team? If the leader is capable, what will he want to do?

    Zhang Hao felt that Anfernee Hardaway really believed what the media said that he could do anything, so after O'Neal left, he chose to make himself stronger and ended up suffering from injuries

    "In 2004, Big Fat left the Lakers, and Kobe also chose to gain weight. He was also injured and was reimbursed; in 2008, Big Fat left the Heat, and Wade was reimbursed afterwards Is this the curse of breaking up with Big Fat?

    etc!  I remember that James broke up with Big Fatty in 2010 and started to gain weight!  It seems that I will soon start to have constant cramps at my peak age

    ???????? Plus penny, these people all had problems after breaking up with Big Fat when they were in their prime or about to be in their prime!  "

    Zhang Hao felt that he had discovered a terrifying Jing Tian power!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 238 238. Confrontation with Penny, Part 1

    Putting away his slander, Zhang Hao retreated to the backcourt and was about to go to the top of the arc and wait for Anfernee Hardaway to push forward. Doug Christie, who ran back a little slower, patted his arm.

    Zhang Hao understood, left the top arc, and followed Denis Scott who had just ran over.

    After Anfernee Hardaway advanced to the frontcourt, he saw that the defender had changed and turned into the slower Doug Christie. He decisively changed direction and broke through to the left!

    However, Doug Christie was not passed over as easily as when he met Anfernee Hardaway last year. Anfernee Hardaway felt that discomfort again, but he already knew the reason and was used to it.  He failed to pass directly, but his threat made him successfully make the Lakers interior defensive players move as soon as he made a breakthrough move.

    Seizing the opportunity, Anfernee Hardaway passed the ball to Horace Grant who moved to the right side of the three-second zone. Horace Grant's open mid-range shot threatened him a lot. When the Lakers players' defensive attention was distracted by Horace Grant,  After S-Grant attracted him, Horace Grant played the ball again and passed it to the left baseline. Anfernee Hardaway quickly moved there, received the ball and made a jumper from the baselineit went in!

    X-shaped passing coordination!  Zhang Hao, who has rich knowledge of running positions, immediately recognized that this was the tactic used by the Bulls in their first three consecutive championships!

    At the beginning, Anfernee Hardaway was indeed extremely uncomfortable with not having as big an advantage as before in terms of speed. However, as time went by, he also found a way to deal with this problem.

    ??Actually, it was because he met Doug Christie, otherwise Anfernee Hardaway wouldn't have played so complicatedly.

    Just like when playing against Zhang Hao, he had plenty of ways to find shooting opportunities.

    It's just that although Doug Christie is not as fast as Zhang Hao, his ability to prevent breakthroughs is much better than Zhang Hao. He is tenacious, highly motivated, and has good defensive awareness These things are the key to Doug Christie's ability to guard against most perimeters in the league.  .

    However, as long as there is no ball in hand, Anfernee Hardaway will have a huge advantage in movement speed when facing Doug Christie. After passing the ball to Horace Grant, Anfernee Hardaway accelerated and rushed over.  The pass is returned on the baseline.

    Doug Christie asked Zhang Hao to get out of his way to defend, but he failed to defend and was scored by the opponent. However, he was not discouraged and did not even feel that he had not defended well just now.

    He made Anfernee Hardaway do more things!

    He could tell in the last round that Anfernee Hardaway had slowed down. This was a difference that was difficult to see by watching the video. He estimated that he could inflict greater damage on Anfernee Hardaway than Zhang Hao.

    This is also true. Facing him, Anfernee Hardaway did not choose to turn around and take a step-back jumper like he did when facing Zhang Hao, but chose to play tactics.

    The biggest sign of Anfernee Hardaway's slower speed is not linear acceleration, but slower lateral movement. For example, breakthroughs require more skills. Doug Christie's best defense is skills. He didn't guard the opening.  It's because he doesn't do well against pure quick defense.

    In short, as long as Anfernee Hardaway does not attack in the way he is best at and allows the Magic to pass more passes, Doug Christie's goal will be achieved!

    When the Lakers attack, Kenny Anderson takes advantage of the fact that Anfernee Hardaway's lateral movement has become worse and his defense against breakthroughs has become worse after gaining weight. He takes possession of the ball and starts to score points.

    Both Zhang Hao and O'Neal restrained their desire to attack. Zhang Hao chose to run and use the space of Barkley and Doug Christie to find catching and shooting opportunities. Kenny Anderson broke through and the first choice was to shoot, and the second choice was given to Zhang Hao. If there was a chance,  Just feed O'Neal the ball.

    O¡¯Neal mainly rushes and grabs.

    The three of them had not discussed it, but their playing styles matched each other. At this moment, they showed an unprecedented tacit understanding!

    The Lakers seized a loophole of the opponent and tried their best to amplify the opponent's loophole.

    In turn, as the Magic team cooperated, their mistakes gradually increased.

    Magic players are not good at playing too complicated coordination. When they won a lot of games in the past two years, Anfernee Hardaway and O'Neal took turns to score the ball in singles. Although this year's record is not as good as in previous years, Anfernee Hardaway is present.  In the game, they still played the star singles and ball-sharing tactics.

    When the Lakers clearly understood that the Magic only had Horace Grant's high and low passes, the defense focused on it. Anfernee Hardaway was double-teamed and cut off after receiving the return pass.  Due to the ball's path, the Magic's pitchers' positions were fixed, and Anfernee Hardaway or Horace Grant began to make frequent mistakes.

    Finally, halfway through the first quarter, Anfernee Hardaway and Horace Grant each made two consecutive turnovers, and the Lakers launched a 4-0 counterattack.

    20 to 11, the Lakers' lead expanded to 9 points, and the Magic called a timeout!Zhang Hao, who was accelerating and had super long legs, entered the three-second zone in two steps. Before Ronny Sekali could react, he smashed the ball directly into the basket through the opponent!

    The Magic don¡¯t like to watch Lakers games, and they don¡¯t like to watch videos. They are full of resentment about O¡¯Neal¡¯s departure, especially since the Lakers have won 11 consecutive games recently. They don¡¯t want to know about the Lakers at all.

    In this age where social media is underdeveloped and there are no online videos, if you don¡¯t want to understand something, you can really be completely separated from that thing.

    In the impression of Magic players, Zhang Hao is a player who relies on his brain, athletic ability, and shooting.

    The back-up technique is rough. With just one move, Derek Strong was betting on whether the referee would continue to call them fouls, and wanted to block the space for Zhang Hao to turn over and make jump shots and back-up collisions.

    With this goal, they suddenly discovered that Zhang Hao had undergone tremendous changes from last year. In less than a year, the progress was visible to the naked eye!

    They remembered that when Zhang Hao counterattacked before, he also controlled the ball to advance the counterattack!

    The Magic team attacked, Anfernee Hardaway broke through and passed the ball to Ronny Sekali, who hit the mid-range shot.

    It is indeed impossible to guard against it. Del Harris is ready to let Doug Christie play early.

    In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Hao continued to ask for the ball from the mid-range on the left baseline.

    After receiving the ball, Zhang Hao found that the opponent was not so close to him, but he took the initiative to lean in. When he leaned in and scared Derek Strong to lower his center of gravity, Zhang Hao suddenly turned around with excellent flexibility.  Shown vividly.

    Continue to get to the basket!

    At this moment, Zhang Hao just wanted to compete with the opponent!

    Ronny Celica was prepared this time, but Zhang Hao still took off in front of Ronny Celica, pulled the ball in the air, avoided Ronny Celica's block, and took his hand from Ronny Celica.  The lower part of Li's arm was stretched towards the basket. This angle was difficult. Just when Zhang Hao was about to force a shot, inspiration came to him. Without moving his palm, he pushed his elbow up when his body was falling, and picked the ball with his fingertips

    The ball fell into the basket lightly!

    ¡°Restricted Area Hegemony (Bronze) is triggered, and the wearing player Zhang Hao is more likely to find the feeling of shooting when he takes a shot within a radius of 90 centimeters from the center of the basket"

    Zhang Hao himself felt that he was lucky with this goal. Occasionally, he would score such a draw goal in a game, but if he was asked to repeat it, he would hardly be able to do it.

    But that¡¯s not important, this medal has become part of his strength!

    Zhang Hao immediately turned around and retreated after scoring the goal. He just felt that he was lucky this time, and he impulsively attacked and hit a magic ball.

    But the shock to Anfernee Hardaway was huge!

    When O'Neal was replaced and Anfernee Hardaway focused his attention on Zhang Hao, he discovered that Zhang Hao was even better than he thought!

    The fans at the scene also became excited again!

    coming!  Their gentleman started to perform!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 239 239. After you sing, I will take the stage

    Zhang Hao can understand why Kobe, Jordan and others like to shoot so much, like to challenge others one-on-one, and like to do it by themselves at critical moments

    Because, although I was annoyed when I was blacksmithing, I made the investment and it felt so good to compete with the opponent!

    It has been more than a year, and he, Zhang, has gradually had the opportunity to do such a thing!

    26 to 24, the Lakers lead by two points again!

    In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Zhang Hao scored 4 points and 1 assist, and Anfernee Hardaway scored 5 points and 1 assist.

    After the first quarter, the Lakers led 33 to 32 by 1 point and entered the intersection break.

    Anfernee Hardaway scored 22 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter. His performance in the first quarter was extremely fierce.

    Zhang Hao scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, O'Neal had 6 points and 3 rebounds, and Kenny Anderson had 7 points and 2 assists.

    Even though Anfernee Hardaway on the Magic team performed 20+ in a single quarter, the Lakers can also handle it!

    With O'Neal being taken down, the Lakers still maintained a weak lead after the first quarter.

    However, compared to the Magic, the Lakers' performance in the first quarter has a lot of hidden dangers.

    The Magic are used to the star player and others catching and shooting. For example, last season, O'Neal scored 41 points, Anfernee Hardaway scored 30 points, and the Magic won 82-75.  It's still the Sonics.

    But the Lakers' scoring has always been relatively balanced, and tonight's scoring was almost concentrated on Zhang Hao, O'Neal, and Kenny Anderson.

    Except for these three brothers, only Barkley scored 3 points and James Robinson scored 3 points. No one else scored!

    In fact, others even took very few shots. In the first quarter, the Lakers made a total of 20 successful shots, 16 of which were made by three people!  The others combined only had 4 times.

    By the second quarter, the Lakers sent out a combination of Fisher, Doug Christie, Magic, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao.

    The Magic team sent a combination of Anfernee Hardaway, Gerald Wilkins, Denis Scott, Horace Grant, and Danny Schayes.

    After the start of the second quarter, the Magic's defensive goal was very clear. Zhang Hao was flanked when he caught the ball!  Instead of waiting for Zhang Hao to reach the shooting area and then flanking, he directly flanked!

    Doug Christie and Fisher hit the iron once in two consecutive rounds, and the Magic, who attacked first in the second quarter, played an efficient performance during this period, shooting 2 of 3, relying on Danny Schayes to win the game.  Nice Scott hit a three-pointer after catching the ball, leading the Lakers by 4 points 37-33!

    Doug Christie took the initiative to step up and play singles. He skillfully pulled the ball horizontally to get a shot but failed to score two points. Instead, Anfernee Hardaway seized the opportunity to counterattack and hit a pull-up jumper.

    39 to 33, the Magic overtook the Lakers at the beginning of the second quarter and led the Lakers by 6 points.

    At this time, Zhang Hao stood up and caught the ball from the baseline and was directly flanked. The opponent ignored the area above the Lakers' free throw line and mid-range shots from the side and only flanked him and defended the basket. This kind of gambling defense really paid off.  The Lakers came up and hit the ground running in the second quarter.

    In this case, he will catch the ball from the left side of the top arc!

    When Zhang Hao catches the ball in the middle distance from the baseline, if the opponent ignores the shooter outside the three-point line and directly flanks Zhang Hao, he will have enough time to prevent the cut.

    But when Zhang Hao came to the left side of the top arc, the Magic players could only defend alone. Denis Scott chose to defend. Zhang Hao received the ball and turned around to push past Denis Scott and break through directly!

    The strongest first step is triggered!  When Zhang Hao encounters an opponent who is not as strong as him and breaks through directly after receiving the ball, the confrontation will not have an effect on his start. Moreover, when the opponent fails to hinder his breakthrough and fails to block his breakthrough route,  At that time, he started directly at full speed!

    The Magic team was already prepared to flank Zhang Hao when he broke through. Horace Grant's defensive ability was absolutely top-notch. However, a beat later, Zhang Hao rushed into the basket and jumped up to lean on Danny Xie.  Yes, the throw hit!

    35 to 39, Zhang Hao¡¯s breakthrough layup helped the Lakers stop the bleeding.

    When the Magic attacked, Anfernee Hardaway failed to break away from Doug Christie's defense, but when he was pressed against him, he made an emergency stop at close range to avoid Zhang Hao's defense in the three-second zone and made a quick throw to score two points.  point¡­¡­

    26 points!

    Looking back, Zhang Hao once again used the same play style from the previous round. This time Horace Grant asked Danny Schayes to cover Zhang Hao's mid-range shot. Horace Grant guarded the basket and defended it.  Pretty good, but after Zhang Hao took off, he changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand and smashed it directly into the basket!

    The buckle that changes hands in the air!  Horace Grant does a good job of interfering with shots, but his explosiveness is not as explosive as he was with the Bulls as he gets older.?Want the ball for singles!

    The Magic team wanted to defend him, but Nick Anderson, who was guarding him, did not stick close to him. Instead, he took a half-step inside the three-point line to prevent Zhang Hao from breaking through.

    Zhang Hao received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly

    Zhang Hao¡¯s shot this time was just to test his touch. The game is still close to half-time, so it doesn¡¯t matter if he misses one shot.

    However, Zhang Hao felt very good when he tried shooting, just like the feeling when you enter the best training state after one or two sets of three-point training shots!

    The ball left Zhang Hao's hand, and it was too late for Nick Anderson to press on him. As long as Zhang Hao raised the ball and bent his knees, Nick Anderson could only act as a cannon. The ball flew out of Zhang Hao's hand and plunged into the basket, hollow.  Hit!

    74 to 70, the Lakers widened the point difference again!

    In the first half, Anfernee Hardaway went wild, scoring 38 points and 6 assists in the half, feeling hot.

    In the second half, it¡¯s Zhang Hao¡¯s turn!

    Zhang Hao, who scored 26 points in the first half, exploded in the second half. After hitting a three-pointer for the first time, he combined sudden shots and scored 4 goals in a row, including a 2+1 and two free throws that resulted in a foul.  In the middle, he scored 14 points in a row and only played 4 and a half minutes in the third quarter. He overtook Anfernee Hardaway and raised his score to 40 points!

    ??Two three-pointers, a counterattack dunk, a 2+1 that broke into the paint, and was fouled on a breakthrough

    After Zhang Hao made two free throws, the Magic called a timeout and were forced to replace Anfernee Hardaway in advance.

    Anfernee Hardaway, who came on the court at this time, could clearly see that his physical strength was affected. He took 23 shots in 24 minutes in the first half. Although he made 15 of 23 field goals and 8 of 9 free throws in the half, his physical strength was not good.  It also suffered huge consumption, which can be seen in the last few attacks of the first half!

    The Magic planned to wait until the official timeout in the third quarter before replacing Anfernee Hardaway. Although it was only two minutes ahead of schedule, the two minutes of game time usually take 4-5 minutes to complete.  , and there is less official pause time.

    It doesn¡¯t seem like a long time, but a future player No. 23 who wishes to remain anonymous knows very well how happy it would be to be able to call two timeouts in a row and take an extra minute or two to rest!

    But there is no way. In the past four and a half minutes, they were beaten 14 to 9 by Zhang Hao alone! 85 to 75, the Lakers' lead expanded to 10 points!

    However, when Anfernee Hardaway came on the court, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness

    He tried his best to help the Magic keep the score tight at halftime, but as long as he stopped to rest, the team looked like it was doomed!

    "Why don't you give O'Neal 100 million! If you don't give him 100 million, then why don't you give me 100 million!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 240 240. The rejected sky-high price contract

    Anfernee Hardaway really wants to win, but the Magic can only compete with the Lakers when he breaks out.

    With O'Neal working very hard to perform explosively but playing intermittently, Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao performing well, and the Lakers role players shooting inaccurately, Anfernee Hardaway can lead the team to close the score with the Lakers.

    When Zhang Hao's hand entered a hot state, the Magic were clearly defeated.

    After returning from the timeout, Anfernee Hardaway wanted to lead his teammates in a counterattack, but his performance was far inferior to that in the first half.

    The Magic's defense was obviously in disarray. They used to have strong defense and tight coordination. However, after falling behind by 10 points, Anfernee Hardaway's aggressive offensive choices not only failed to produce as good an offense as in the first half, but the defensive end was also disrupted.  I was in a hurry.

    In the middle and latter part of the third quarter, Anfernee Hardaway's personal score was still increasing. At 11 minutes and 44 seconds of the third quarter, Anfernee Hardaway's personal score increased to 48 points, which has already set a career high.  !

    However, the Magic went from 75 to 85 to 88 to 104

    In these more than 7 minutes, Anfernee Hardaway made 3 of 11 shots, plus 4 of 5 free throws, scoring 10 points, but only had 1 assist, and the Magic only scored 13 points!

    However, the Lakers scored 19 points. Zhang Hao's personal score stopped at 44 points. He only scored 4 points in more than 7 minutes. The explosive personal offense that surged to 14 points in 4 and a half minutes came to an abrupt end, but he sent 4 points.  assist, his ball was flanked. In this case, he only thought about winning and did not care about the data. The ball was flanked on the offensive end and the consumption was small, so he put more energy on the defensive end, 4 points  They were all counterattack scores, 1 steal and 1 block!

    At 11 minutes and 58 seconds, Zhang Hao passed the ball to Barkley, who was rotating at the end of the third quarter, and hit a layup. The Lakers led 106 to 88 by 18 points!

    In the last two seconds, the Magic served the ball, and Anfernee Hardaway stopped moving. After receiving the ball, he just stood there, spending the last two seconds.

    I want to win, but I can¡¯t. The more I want to win, the more explosive my mentality becomes

    The whistle sounded at the end of the third quarter, and Anfernee Hardaway walked directly to the tunnel.

    There¡¯s no way to fight!

    With 48 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, Anfernee Hardaway went from 15-of-23 shooting to 18-of-34 shooting. He was exhausted, physically tired, and mentally tired He needed it  Find a quiet corner to hide

    In the final quarter, although the fans shouted Zhang Hao's name, Zhang Hao did not play.

    Because the Lakers went on a 7-0 run at the beginning of the final quarter, opening the point difference to 25 points in one fell swoop.

    Anfernee Hardaway left immediately. I don¡¯t know what will happen after the game. Anyway, the mentality of other Magic players also collapsed.

    ? 44 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks in three quarters Many fans at the scene hoped that Zhang Hao could go up and complete 50+ again or 5 times 5. Del Harris also came to kick Zhang Hao's calf.

    But Zhang Hao refused.

    In the end, the score was fixed at 133 to 103, and the Lakers slaughtered the Magic with a 30-point difference!

    After the final whistle sounded, although O'Neal lay down in the second half, he was surrounded by reporters immediately after the game after scoring 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the first half.

    "I have better and stronger teammates. My brother said that as long as I want to play alone, the ball will be given to me, and he did it! Moreover, I also got 127 million, which is 27 million more than 100 million. I like it here so much.  After playing here for a few months, I feel happier than when I played for three years"

    On O'Neal's side, at least tonight, Zhang Hao is his good teammate and brother

    On the other side, Zhang Hao was also surrounded by a large number of reporters.

    Tonight¡¯s game has received overwhelming attention. Almost all first- and second-tier sports media in the United States and the Asia-Pacific region are here.

    On Zhang Hao¡¯s side, when asked why he didn¡¯t play when he was only a few points, two rebounds and one assist away from getting a 50+ triple-double, he responded: ¡°Can I lie?¡±

    "Can."

    ""Why don't you play according to the routine!

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t expect that he would be misunderstood. He said speechlessly: ¡°Okay, I started lying. I¡¯m tired and want to rest.¡±

    "Can you tell the truth?"

    "Can't."

    "Then what's your evaluation of Pence's performance tonight? What kind of player do you think he is?"

    Zhang Hao wants to be a little crazy about this question, but he likes Anfernee Hardaway very much!

    At this time, Zhang Hao heard O'Neal's voice, which was raising his voice for fear that others wouldn't hear it Yes!  He responded: "His performance is okay, but my performance is better. I think Hardaway is worth 126 million at most."

    ¡­¡­

    ? ???Anfernee Hardaway also made a fine.

    League officials and the Magic are mainly just going through the motions.

    But this afternoon, the Orlando Sentinel broke the news that Anfernee Hardaway rejected a seven-year, $86 million contract extension and made a request to the Magic. If they don¡¯t give $128 million over seven years, they will not renew the contract. He will not renew his contract next year.  The summer ended the contract early.

    Here, the media also mentioned Barkley in passing. It was Barkley who was the first to add player options to his contract, setting a precedent.

    By the way, Barkley¡¯s request for the Suns to trade him to the Lakers has been brought up again

    Zhang Hao was also criticized by the Orlando Sentinel.

    Originally, Zhang Hao evaluated Anfernee Hardaway as worth 126 million after the game. The media¡¯s interpretation was that Zhang Hao was saying that Anfernee Hardaway was not as good as O¡¯Neal, and Zhang Hao was indeed expressing this meaning.

    There is no other way, we have to make Big Fatty live happily. As the youngest player on the team, Zhang Hao has worked hard

    But the Orlando Sentinel criticized Zhang Hao for irritating Anfernee Hardaway, who made Anfernee Hardaway put forward unacceptable conditions.

    When Zhang Hao saw this, he was extremely speechless.

    Is this going to start another soap opera pattern from last year?

    After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Hao couldn't figure out what happened, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

    It has nothing to do with him anyway.

    He is now waiting for the good news from Pelinka. The success or failure of that matter is not important in itself. If it succeeds, at most it will cost some money every month. If it fails, it does not matter. It will save money

    ¡­¡­

    Anfernee Hardaway asked for a seven-year, $128 million contract extension, or he would be out of the contract. This incident caused a huge shock.

    The core reason is that it is not popular for stars to change teams these days.

    Also, the $128 million contract is really an exaggeration. O'Neal's $127 million contract is still criticized by some experts.

    Because from the perspective of NBA revenue growth, at least in 20 years, O'Neal's contract will still be the maximum salary. This is based on the current rapid growth momentum of NBA revenue after Jordan's comeback. It will continue to have growth in the next ten or twenty years.  Phenomenal players like Jordan, Magic, and Bird appeared.

    The words that O'Neal was scolded by the Orlando media last year have appeared again this year, and they all appeared on Anfernee Hardaway, whom they praised last year.

    However, Anfernee Hardaway had better luck than O'Neal. At night, something related to the NBA but not the NBA diverted the attention of the media and fans.

    Recently, 58 Technology has become an emerging network technology company that many people are paying attention to because it has reached a technology transfer deal of up to 400 million U.S. dollars.

    This company also owns the most popular social software icq, which has over one million registered users and has been growing rapidly, as well as software that integrates many mini-games with a large number of users. It is said that it is also developing some other software applications.

    Working on software is undoubtedly at the forefront of the times.

    Tonight, a piece of news came to light, and it was reported not only on the economic channel, but also on the sports channel.

    58 Technology has issued an endorsement contract to Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson for four years and 10 months with a total monthly endorsement fee of US$33.64 million. Such an endorsement is absolutely worth it these days.  It can be called a sky-high endorsement contract.

    But, Allen Iverson refused!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 241 241. Troubles in the middle of the season

    Iverson rejected 58 Technology¡¯s endorsement contract.

    But this was just that he refused. He got the person in charge of 58 Technology from his agent and called himself to notify 58 Technology, but the commercial staff of his agent team immediately called to say that it was still possible.  Talk again.

    Just like Zhang Hao, in addition to Henry Thomas, the agent who is responsible for business dealings with NBA teams, he also has dedicated commercial staff responsible for endorsements, and staff responsible for media and publicity.

    There are also many people in Iverson¡¯s agent team.

    Among them, the one Iverson respects the most is Gary Moore, whom he calls his dad.

    Although Iverson is not as dazzling as Duncan, he is definitely the most popular talented star in recent years.

    During the offseason, Gary Moore helped Iverson contact Reebok and rejected Adidas and Nike because the latter two only gave Iverson a very average endorsement contract.

    Before the start of the training camp, on September 28, Gary Moore helped Iverson sign a 10-year, $50 million endorsement contract with Reebok, fearing that Iverson would spend all the money to support his friends, Gary-Moore  When Moore was negotiating a contract with Reebok, he threatened to resign and asked Iverson to sign a trust fund contract. Of the $5 million per year, $3.2 million could only be obtained after retirement.

    And it won¡¯t be available immediately after retirement. Twenty years later, starting from 2016, Iverson will receive $800,000 in dividends from the trust fund every year. When Iverson is 55 years old, he will be able to receive $3,200 in one go.  Take out the Wanmei knife.

    Once the terms of the trust are established, they cannot be changed.

    That is to say, as long as Iverson doesn't owe a lot of debt and the bank takes away the fund, he has no right to sell it even if he wants to.

    Theoretically speaking, he will not go bankrupt until he is 60 years old, and by the age of 55, he may not be as indulgent as when he was young. By then, he may have retired for more than ten or twenty years, and he knows how to save money.

    Iverson resisted at first. He wanted to live a casual life, but in the end he accepted it.

    He is not stupid.

    But this time, Iverson didn¡¯t want to hear what Gary Moore said!

    Iverson roared: "Gary, they just want to use the fact that I lost 58 points to hype me up! They don't think how good I am at all"

    "Yes, they just want to use this to create hype, but if you say something wrong, they will definitely not think you are bad. Why don't they find Coleman or Stackhouse, but you?"

    "but¡­¡­"

    "Alan, there is no but. If you refuse, their goal is achieved. They don't need to spend a penny. Do you understand what I mean? We can't let them take advantage of us in vain."

    Iverson was silent for a long time, and finally said with gritted teeth: "Gary, you can only use half of this endorsement fee to buy trust funds at most!"

    In terms of salary, Gary Moore did not care how Iverson spent it, but for the endorsement fee, Gary Moore agreed to stay and work for Iverson's team. The only condition was that part of Iverson's endorsement fee must be bought into a trust fund to avoid  Bankruptcy after retirement.

    At first, Gary Moore wanted to use 80% of Iverson¡¯s endorsement contract to buy funds, but the final agreement was 64%.

    Seeing that Iverson responded, Gary Moore returned to his shameless and stinky daddy look: "No, the agreed 64% is 64%. If you don't agree, I will let your mother beat you"

    "Could you please complain to my mother if it doesn't matter?"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "The answer is the butterfly step + penny back turn and step back + Hill's fastest first step, this is so fancy"

    Zhang Hao looked at the system prompts and kept cursing.

    ¡°Digital imprinting:

    The host successfully allowed fans to connect Iverson with the 58-point difference at any time.

    Congratulations to the host for the reward: a top-notch training improvement card for cross-step and change of direction.  "

    When the system prompt came, Zhang Hao had already received the message from Pelinka immediately.

    In the end, Iverson agreed to sign an endorsement contract.

    Zhang Hao had expected this. The other party might reject the contract due to emotions, but in the endhe, Zhang Hao, gave him more!

    If Iverson wants to refuse, his agent team will definitely become his lobbyist.

    Looking at the two training cards, one is a first-class training card for post-up singles, turning and stepback, which can be improved to 80, and the other is a top-level training card for cross-step changes to 90, which can be improved to 90.

    Turning around and retreating from behind, there is no skill bonus for this.

    But just like learning from Jordan??Completely different from what I expected!  Why does he feel like he has jumped into a big pit?

    It's not that Howard Schultz has bad business acumen, it's not that he's lost his mind, or it's not that Zhang Hao is domineering and cheating it's that he didn't expect this to be the case at all. He thought Zhang Hao would create companies like Apple and Microsoft.  .

    Howard Schultz asked: "Then how do we save money?"

    ¡°We are waiting for others to buy our software!¡±

    Can it still be done like this?  How much can you earn from this?  still¡­¡­

    Howard Schultz¡¯s eyes suddenly widened!

    His partner actually planned to suck the blood of those capital giants from the very beginning!

    Furthermore, Howard Schultz feels that if he had been able to enter this market a long time ago, he now wants to take the initiative to join and be slaughtered!

    No, he just wanted to get involved in the Internet industry, and he was already stabbed Fortunately, after being stabbed, he is now the one sucking the blood of others.

    "What kind of partner did I find?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 242 242. Who can have a Merry Christmas?

    On the 24th, although there was a Christmas game the next day, the Lakers did not arrange training.

    Generally speaking, teams that play Christmas games will have at least two days of rest before the Christmas game. This is the case for the Lakers and the same for the Bulls.

    "It's just that while the Bulls players can spend Christmas Eve at home with their families, the Lakers have a lot more trouble.

    But it¡¯s just a little troublesome. The Lakers provide air tickets. If the players¡¯ families are willing to come to the away game to spend Christmas Eve with the players on the 23rd or 24th, they can inform the team in advance.

    On the 23rd, Zhang Hao chartered a plane to bring his relatives and friends in the United States. The relatives of some teammates also came on the 23rd or 24th. Of course, there are still many teammates who want to take advantage of the fact that the team is not available during these two days.  Arrange a wave of training.

    For example, Barkley galloped in the nightclub for two days in a row and stayed up all night.

    On the morning of the 24th, Zhang Hao and Howard Schultz negotiated an equity swap agreement, and then handed the matter over to Pelinka. Zhang Hao had business in the United States, and basically handed it over to Pelinka.  In China, it is left to his father. He likes money, but he can make himself extremely rich by playing basketball. In terms of business, it is just something he is interested in and wants to do. The specific troublesome work is left to others.  He can just count the money.

    Once the business is done, don¡¯t think about it anymore.

    For him, basketball is his biggest hobby.

    ¡° Moreover, when doing business after retirement, many aspects need to be centered around his achievements in the field of basketball.

    Even now, many times it depends on the identity of NBA talented rising star.

    At noon on the 24th, unlike Americans who usually have a hearty meal in the evening, little loli Lelin was going back to Seattle in the afternoon, so she had a hearty meal at noon.

    Christmas Eve was very simple. Zhang Hao went to bed early and got up early as usual

    On the 25th, Christmas is here.

    At 6:15 in the morning, Zhang Hao woke up and carefully placed April Clark on the bed, hanging like a koala.

    After taking a hot bath, Zhang Hao went to the hotel restaurant When he came to the elevator, the elevator opened just in time and saw Pierce with a haggard look on his face.

    What a coincidence, Pierce said hello: "Good morningahahAix."

    Zhang Hao looked at Pierce and asked, "Paul, did you really go to a nightclub with Barkley and spend the whole night looking for two women?"

    Pierce held out three fingers: "Hey, it's not two, it's three! How about it! Is it strong?"

    "" Zhang Hao looked at Pierce speechlessly and said, "Isn't that true? Be careful, have you never touched a woman?"

    Pierce said angrily: "Who said you can't find a girlfriend with your shitty money? If you didn't say this, I would be single until college?"

    Zhang Hao showed a confused expression and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

    "Why don't you just find a girlfriend! And it's April, you can do this kind of thing, what did you say? Rabbits don't eat grass from the nest, and you attack all good friends!" Pierce looked down upon her.

    "Wellthis is true, but there is another saying: the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moonit means that you feel closer to the moon."

    Zhang Hao felt that he should not forcefully translate idioms in the future. Ignoring this, Zhang Hao looked at Pierce and said: "I said that I didn't find a girlfriend for my money, but I am very rich now! Isn't it right to find a girlfriend?  "

    Pierce looked up at Zhang Hao with his neck stretched upward. He wanted to fight!

    Zhang Hao ran quickly. He didn¡¯t even take the elevator and ran directly to the escape tunnel!

    ¡­¡­

    At 9 a.m., Zhang Hao took the team bus to the Chicago United Center.

    After two days of rest, the Christmas war is finally about to begin.

    Today, when Zhang Hao met with his teammates, he felt that their mental outlook was different from what they had been since mid-December - very excited!  Very motivated!

    Although there is no way to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas at home, playing in the Christmas game is definitely a privilege for a team and the same for the players.

    The teammates didn¡¯t bring their families, so they went out on the night of the 23rd. On the 24th, except for Barkley, even O¡¯Neal stayed in the hotel.

    only¡­¡­

    Barkley¡¯s spirit is so good!

    There is no harm if there is no comparison. Zhang Hao saw Pierce's squeezed look two hours ago, and then looked at Barkley I went out to fool around for two days, and it seemed that I only came back at four or five this morning, and now I am full of energy.  Enriched!

    This body; Both are veterans in their 30s, and both are 213cm big centers.

    ? plus Luke Longley, Rodman, Bill Wennington

    Zhang Hao observed three seconds of silence for Big Fatty.

    ???Really just looking at the lineup, I feel huge pressure!

    Just when Zhang Hao was sizing up the opponent's lineup, the mission prompt came!

    ¡°Michael Jordan¡¯s dominance on the scoring list has lasted for 10 years, and the new decade has begun. There are countless people who are looking forward to Jordan continuing his dominance as the scoring leader, and there are countless people who don¡¯t want to continue to see his dominance.

    Special signing player Zhang Hao has made Bulls fans and Michael Jordan feel threatened, and has also become the hope of people who do not want to see Jordan continue to dominate the scoring list.

    Task: The counter-war scoreboard is triggered.  "

    ¡°Score list against the odds:

    Goal: Special contract player Zhang Hao wins the scoring title in the 1996-1997 season.

    Reward: Michael Jordan gets the scoring champion season star experience card for the first time.  "

    "Fighting for the scoring title?"

    Zhang Hao looked at this task He really never thought about competing for the scoring title.

    The team has O'Neal, Barkley, and Kenny AndersonEh?

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao suddenly realized that he seemed to have good conditions to win the scoring title!

    O¡¯Neal and Barkley are lazier than the other. Kenny Anderson can score if he wants, but Kenny is not so keen on scoring. He is a team player, and the role of team play is higher than scoring.

    Don¡¯t want to fight?

    Of course it¡¯s impossible!

    Before, Zhang Hao felt from the bottom of his heart that he was in such a team and had such teammates. It was impossible to compete for the scoring title. He didn¡¯t want to compete for statistics or anything else. Winning was the most important thing.

    But, now, the conditions are there and the opportunity is there, the key is to realize

    Fight!

    Of course we have to fight!

    In addition to mission rewards, grand prizes such as the scoring champion should also have lifespan rewards like a burst!

    We must fight!

    At this time, the system subtitle content has changed.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao will play against the Bulls in the Christmas game. The most championship-looking team in the West will play against the most championship-looking team in the East. After all, it will be the happiest Christmas Eve for fans of Zhang Hao's Lakers team.  Or would a Bulls fan with Jordan have the best Christmas Eve ever?

    Task: Merry Christmas trigger.  "

    "Merry Christmas:

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers win the Christmas Day game.

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to score the highest score in this Christmas game.

    Rewards: Complete one goal and get a 15-day lifespan reward; complete two goals and get one bronze lottery draw.  "

    The scoring title is the season's mission. Put that aside first. It is not a matter of one or two games. The mission of the current game is the most important.

    Zhang Hao just finished reading this mission, and another mission came!

    "There are various inheritances in the world of basketball, and the inheritance of technology is one of them. Special contract player Zhang Hao once learned Michael Jordan's turn-over jump shot technique and developed it as one of the main scoring methods. Mission: Turn-over jump shot  The king triggered"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 243 243. Do you dare to challenge me?

    ¡°The King of Turnover Jumpers:

    Task prerequisites: Take the initiative to challenge Michael Jordan to a stand-up jump shot duel.

    Goal: Zhang Hao made more turnaround jump shots than Michael Jordan in this game.

    Rewards: 1. For every number of Zhang Hao's turnaround jump shots that are higher than Michael Jordan's, he will be rewarded with 10 days of life, 2. One bronze lottery chance.  "

    Zhang Hao watched three tasks being triggered in a row.

    Fighting against other superstars, because they have the passive medal of "Provocation" and are targeted by the other party, it is difficult to trigger the mission unless there is something special.

    ¡°But beating Jordan suddenly brings a lot of tasks

    However, looking at the pile of possible rewards - Jordan 86-87 season star experience card, a lifespan reward that exceeds the number of hits by 10 times, a 15-day lifespan reward, a bronze lottery number and a bronze lottery opportunity, and these  Winning the scoring title at your age will definitely break the record. In theory, there will be rewards like those when you are selected to the first team in your rookie year

    And, the scoring champion!  There are at least 5 players every year, and there is only 1 scoring champion every year!

    But, to challenge Jordan

    The "Provocation" debuff can make the opponent more motivated to fight when they see him, such as Anfernee Hardaway and Grant Hill. When playing against opponents like Garnett and Malone, the opponent can't wait to take a bite.  Bite him to death.

    After entering the court, Zhang Hao felt Jordan's hostility.

    There is obviously a deeper hostility than normal when looking at competitors. It feels like the way Jordan looked at Olajuwon during the All-Star Weekend last year This is not just the hostility of the threat of a scoring champion!

    ?Obviously, this is the "bonus" of "provocation".

    Good guy, now I have to challenge the other party

    Zhang Hao immediately began to think about how to maximize his interests in challenging Jordan

    ¡­¡­

    The pre-game greetings are over, the two teams have made the final preparations before the game, and the starting players are about to take the field.

    Jordan, a striking man.

    When Jordan went to the technical desk to apply magnesium powder,

    At this time, his teammates saw Zhang Hao walking quickly to the technical stage!

    Suddenly, the teammates felt very bad

    Jordan put on the magnesium powder and was about to go on the court. He saw Zhang Hao coming and ignored him. But when he turned around and was about to walk onto the court, he heard something without much emotion but with a loud voice, and he immediately stopped.

    "Mr. Jordan, do you dare to challenge me for a one-on-one back-up jump shot?"

    Even O'Neal, who was helping the referee test the ball, couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead when he heard this. But he forgot to hold the ball in his hand, and he hit himself in the face with the ball, which was painful.  Squat down and cover your head

    No one feels sorry for Big Fatty, and no one notices him at all.

    Originally, several top 50 superstars were extremely dazzling, but when Zhang Hao and Jordan stood together, the attention of the fans at the scene was attracted. Although they disliked Zhang Hao very much, their fear also meant that they recognized Zhang Hao.  He has become Jordan's opponent. Although no one knows what Zhang Hao said except the fans near the technical stage, but Zhang Hao often provokes his opponents before games it's right to boo him anyway!

    Zhang Hao and Jordan looked at each other for a few seconds. Some of the players on the field heard Zhang Hao's words clearly from the beginning, and some didn't. But after looking at the situation, they still couldn't figure out what was going on?

    Zhang Hao is so famous for this!

    While the Lakers players felt pain in their balls, they also felt used to it. The Bulls players did not expect Zhang Hao to be so crazy when facing Jordan

    But everyone is curious, how will Jordan respond?

    Those who heard Zhang Hao¡¯s words clearly were shocked at first, but when they came back to their senses, they suddenly realized that Zhang Hao was digging a hole for Jordan!

    Jordan looked at Zhang Hao for a few seconds, saw Zhang Hao's indifferent face, and thought that Zhang Hao had been so polite even in provocation just now He tilted his neck, and Jordan ignored Zhang Hao and walked directly onto the court.

    This the boos from the fans at the scene stopped for a while.

    Although most fans don¡¯t know what Zhang Hao said, looking at the positions of the two and the reactions of other players, they can probably guess that Zhang Hao was provoking Jordan.

    But Jordan didn¡¯t respond!  This really caused a big emotional blow to the fans at the scene.

    But the players on the court felt that Jordan was very calm and did not fall into the trap.

    Barkley is so sorry. Look at Zhang Hao, and then look at Jordan. These two are playing one-on-one, the picture shouldn't be too beautiful.

    Pity¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao also put on his powder and walked onto the court with a mixture of happiness and regret.

    &nbsWaiting to catch and shoot in the mid-range, the three-pointer moves outside the three-point line in the direction of Barkley and waits for the response.

    Simple and crude!

    When Barkley completed the make-up deduction, Master Jackson called a timeout!

    ? 4 of 6 shots, 8 points, the Bulls were three points behind 8-11. Although the scene was passive, the point difference was not big.

    After only 3 minutes and 44 seconds of play, the Zen Master called a timeout. This situation was still very surprising.

    The Zen master is the kind of person who can hold his breath without calling a timeout even if he is ten points behind.

    However, Jordan understands that Jackson feels that they have encountered a problem that cannot be solved by relying solely on the players' independent changes and on-the-spot performance!

    Jordan really couldn't figure out how to defend against the Lakers. He was a little confused before. Although he knew that the Lakers had a strong offense, he still wondered why most teams followed the Lakers when they encountered them.  The defensive intensity cannot be increased.

    I get it now.

    The opponent¡¯s attack was too simple, but it was very fierce!

    The key is that the one the Lakers played violently tonight was not Zhang Hao and O'Neal, or even Kenny Anderson, but the Lakers' fat guy who was almost forgotten.

    Jordan was in a heavy heart. After the actual match, the threat he felt from the Lakers was even heavier before the game!

    Zen Master had defense against Zhang Hao and O'Neal, and originally planned to force the opponent's two defenders to play in singles, but Barkley

    He heard Jordan say that Barkley was definitely still very strong, and he listened to it, but if he really had to focus on guarding Barkley, what should Zhang Hao and O'Neal do?

    Then we can only attack with the Lakers!

    The playoffs were okay, and they could focus on strengthening confrontation, but in the regular season their defensive intensity just now was not low, but when Pippen met Barkley, he could only be squeezed by Barkley.

    It¡¯s hard to say about the playoffs. Jackson hasn¡¯t seen this lineup of the Lakers play in the playoffs, but as far as the regular season is concerned, even if the opponent¡¯s defensive intensity is raised to the highest level, as long as the Lakers are as active and hardworking as tonight, Jackson feels  In the regular season, the Lakers are no weaker than their Bulls!

    The Bulls still have the possibility of winning 70 games this year. The opposite Lakers team can also win as long as they play like this every night and stay stable!

    However, the pressure on Jackson is really just because of the uncertainty of the playoffs, and the fact that the best record in the history of the regular season is broken he is not worried at all.

    Why did he let Pippen guard Barkley?  Don't you think Barkley might not work hard at all in the regular season?

    It¡¯s just that the hatred from the finals a few years ago

    There was a lot of pressurebut the Master's expression remained calm, he made defensive adjustments and did not rotate.

    The Lakers did not make personnel adjustments. Del Harris was very excited to adjust tactics for Barkley and attack around Barkley who became serious tonight.

    O'Neal did not refuse this situation. After his comeback, Barkley had not played seriously yet. He could finally enjoy the feeling of having a super forward group!

    However, after the timeout came back and the Bulls relied on the tactics arranged in the timeout to score a baseline cut-in catch and throw, when the Lakers attacked, it was Rodman who guarded Barkley.

    Beating Rodman, Barkley would not have it so easy.

    But there is another person who has a better chance!

    The Lakers players decisively gave up their established strategy. When Zhang Hao encountered Pippen's defense, he went straight to the bottom line

    Pippen hurriedly followed, as if shouting: "Don't be like this, don't go there, it's too dangerous there!"

 Chapter 244 244. This is the invincible bull!  (7K+ please vote monthly)

    Why am I always the one who's hurt?  What did I do wrong

    When facing Zhang Hao, who was still a rookie, Pippen couldn't guard him.

    Now Zhang Hao¡¯s height and wingspan are slightly larger than Pippen¡¯s, and he also has an advantage in weight and strength.

    After easily knocking Pippen back from close range, Zhang Hao turned over and hit a jumper just one step inside his favorite free throw line!

    The Zen master couldn¡¯t bear this scene.

    But there is no way. When encountering this situation, we cannot increase the defensive intensity more intensely. As the season progresses, the labels of each team become clear.

    Teams such as the Heat, Knicks, Cavaliers, and Pistons are iconic iron-blooded teams. It doesn't matter how they increase their defensive intensity, even if they play with playoff-level defensive intensity.

    But the opposite Lakers averaged 111.6 points per game, ranking first in the league, and their Bulls averaged 106.9 points per game, ranking second in the league.

    The two teams were playing a game on Christmas Day. If they played like those teams No, after Jordan tried to shoot a three-pointer from the sideline, Pippen defended Zhang Hao and tried to get around when Zhang Hao wanted the ball, but he was unable to do so.  After being restrained, Zhang Hao's arm to catch the ball was pushed away, and the referee gave a foul without hesitation.

    The Lakers continued to attack, and when the ball came out, Pippen still had no choice but to go around the front. However, in order to successfully block Zhang Hao's immediate receiving route, Pippen chose to go around, which meant that Zhang Hao was not confronted and the bottom line was not blocked.  !

    Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and turned around and went straight to the basket. After receiving a direct pass from Kenny Anderson, he took off from the left sideline of the three-second zone, faced Luke Longley's defense, and pulled the ball to the right. After the confrontation,  At that moment, he took the ball back, avoided Luke Longley's arm and made a layup with an underhand shot, pushing the ball out from bottom to tophit!

    After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Jordan saw Zhang Hao¡¯s progress.

    In terms of technology, it is still very monotonous overall. The biggest improvement is the finishing ability!

    ??The shot is more stable and the layup skills are better.

    In a lineup like the Lakers and with such physical conditions, in Jordan's view, improving Zhang Hao's finishing ability is far more useful than broadening his skills.

    It¡¯s not that broadening technology is useless, but that now that everything needs to be improved, finishing ability can bring greater performance improvements to Zhang Hao than richer technologies.

    It¡¯s time to adjust the style of play and switch between offense and defense. After Jordan arrived in the frontcourt, he came to the middle distance on the left side of the three-second zone and leaned on Doug Christie to ask for the ball!

    He has an advantage in strength, a similar height and wingspan, and an advantage in jumping Jordan received the ball and slowly adjusted his rhythm by relying on his strength advantage. Before Zhang Hao couldn't help but attack from the top arc, and before the attack was in place, Jordan suddenly pushed back.  Take a step, turn over, and shoot a jump shot!

    Zhang Hao rushed forward with all his strength, but Jordan rolled over and seemed to have slid backwards, so he couldn't interfere at all!

    Jordan¡¯s turnaround jump shot hit!

    A line of subtitles floated before Zhang Hao's eyes - 1:1.

    Jordan¡¯s first goal of the game was a turnaround jumper on a post-up shot!

    Actually, what Zhang Hao counts here is only the number of turnaround jump shots he made.

    But since Jordan was going to start scoring, of course he had to show that arrogant boy what an authentic back-turning jump shot was.

    It¡¯s definitely not like Barkley, who uses his butt to dig into a comfortable position!

    After landing, Jordan retreated and patted the palm of his left hand with the back of his right hand towards Zhang Hao

    ??????????????????????????????? I know you are good, there is no need to find a position, just hit casually. If the flanking attack is not in place immediately, it means there is no flanking attack Zhang Hao silently ran forward.

    Jordan¡¯s back hit just now was obviously waiting for someone to flank him, which was bullying.

    Zhang Hao has no choice. People don¡¯t want to fight him one-on-one with back-up jumpers. If he can¡¯t bully him back, he can only bully the opponent¡¯s younger brother.

    Pippen, feel the wind!

    Pippen came to this position again. He almost had a psychological shadow on this position, and his scalp was numb when he got here.

    Zhang Hao leaned on Pippen and continued to press back. Pippen was ready to fall back as soon as he was hit. Although his back would hurt from the fall, he had to try.

    Zhang Hao keenly judged the difference in Pippen's stance. When he was about to collide with Pippen, he suddenly turned left and stuck his left foot in Pippen's left rear. There was no obstruction!  Zhang Hao retracted his right foot and continued to turn around, coming behind Pippen!

    Pippen didn¡¯t even have room to fall back, so he turned quickly, but Zhang Hao got behind him and took off directly. Pippen could only watch as Zhang Hao shot a jumper from the free throw line and missed!

    However, Luke Longley saw that Pippen failed to prevent Zhang Hao from turning around, and immediately let go of O'Neill and went to Zhang HaoPlan, or give up.  "

    There is also this operation!  Zhang Hao was quite surprised!

    Originally, he was debating whether to use the star experience card at the bottom of the box.

    "Use it! Of course you have to use ituse Nashka! 3j is not as good as me, I will talk about it after I experience their abilities"

    After Zhang Hao confirmed it in his heart, the subtitles changed again.

    "Please Zhang Hao, a special contracted player who is about to undergo a special use plan for star experience cards, return to the locker room immediately and is not allowed to talk to anyone"

    "Huh? Just walk back to the locker room at this time?"

    At this reminder, Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment. Should he go or not?

    Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and walked directly towards the player tunnel. Hesitation was just to delay time. Be decisive.

    At this time, the frustration of the Lakers players gradually spread. They felt the power of a team of the same lineup with full tacit understanding, but they felt that they were still far behind.

    At this time, the teammates wanted to see that face, that face that was always calm but they saw Zhang Hao gritting his teeth and walking directly to the players' tunnel.

    They had seen this scene before when they played the Magic. The defeated Anfernee Hardaway left after three quarters!

    what's the situation!

    Not only the Lakers players, but also the Bulls and the fans at the scene were shocked!

 Chapter 245 245. The boy chasing the wind

    What kind of bad way of using it, you still have to go back to the locker room?

    Zhang Hao returned to the locker room and followed the prompts to the bathroom

    "Come here? What are you going to do?"

    No time was wasted to confuse Zhang Hao, the system prompt came immediately after entering the bathroom.

    ¡°Congratulations to the host for getting the same wig from Steve Nash in the 2006-07 season. It is very strong and fits well. After wearing it, it feels like you really have thick hair. Only the host can help the contracted players take it off easily.

    After the contracted player wears this wig, when using the Steve Nash star experience card, if the match is less than 80%, it will be supplemented to 80% to avoid the side effects caused by the insufficient match between the star experience card and the player. The first time you wear it, you will get an additional 20  % matching degree bonus. If the star experience card is removed during use, the matching degree supplement and bonus will be cancelled.  "

    ¡°¡­I¡¯m here!¡±

    It takes a lot of courage to run back to the locker room in the middle of a game.

    In just over a minute, Zhang Hao was in a lot of trouble, living like a year. He also thought about many possibilities, guessing what special use method he wanted to complete, such as returning to the scene?

    Unexpectedly, he was asked to come back and wear a wig!

    ¡­¡­

    Players who feel dissatisfied and leave the court midway through the game This kind of thing has happened before. Not long ago, Anfernee Hardaway of the Magic made a fuss about this incident and was warned and fined.

    It¡¯s surprising that Anfernee Hardaway did that. Usually those who do that kind of thing are players with a bad mentality.

    ¡° This matter is simply unimaginable when it comes to Zhang Hao.

    Are you so dissatisfied with the performance in the third quarter?

    The Lakers players stared with big eyes, and the Bulls players were also very surprised. Even the fans at the scene didn¡¯t know whether to cheer or boo at this time

    Fans were talking a lot, and the players had mixed emotions for a while. Even the Bulls players were uncomfortable seeing the opponent's super-talented second-year player leave the court like this.

    Bulls players will not think about taking advantage of the fact that the opponent is missing their best scorer. They are championships and they are confident that they can defeat any opponent.

    Del Harris was stunned. It took him a while to react. Seeing that the break was about to end, he quickly asked Ben Wallace to find Zhang Hao.

    When Ben Wallace heard the coach's instructions, he reacted and ran towards the player tunnel. Del Harris looked at Ben Wallace and thought: "Don't let anything happen to this damn kid!"

    The young and inexperienced Lakers players are confused now, but the old players and Del Harris have the same idea.

    Once a player who is extremely calm loses his cool, he is more likely to have problems than an aggressive player who loses his cool!

    Other Lakers players were also staring at the tunnel, and then they saw Ben Wallace exiting the tunnel.

    He didn¡¯t run out or walk out, but quickly backed up and exited the player tunnel and sat on the ground!

    what happened?

    People were not confused for too long. Someone came out of the player tunnel that attracted everyone's attention.

    The scene in front of you is even more surprising, shocking and dumbfounding than the scene of Zhang Hao leaving the stadium quickly two minutes ago!

    ??Tall and slender figure, with a childish and handsome face

    Zhang Hao is back!

    But, that big slicked-back hair + middle parting + long hair combed to the point that it can even cover the back of the neck

    What did this guy do when he left the field?

    Good-looking is good-looking. This new hairstyle looks very suitable for Zhang Hao. It is not simply a copy of Nash's hairstyle, but a hairstyle that has been adjusted according to his personal image. He has good looks and is really good-looking.

    However, just two minutes ago, Zhang Hao still had a short haircut, and everyone knew that he was wearing a wig!

    ¡­¡­

    How shameful!  So shy!

    Enjoying the attention of everyone present, including his girlfriend who came to watch the game Zhang Hao really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

    He never expected that the system would ask him to go back to the locker room immediately, just to let more people notice the scene of him walking out of the tunnel!

    ¡°If you had taken out a wig and put it on on the spot, although it would be weird, it wouldn¡¯t be so eye-catching. At most, it would make people feel weird, and they would be laughed at by the away fans after playing.

    But in the current situation, everyone thought that he left the game midway due to dissatisfaction with his performance, and everyone's attention was on him.

    At this time he returned to the court wearing a wig

    &nbAfter the ball, he swatted the ball from the crotch of Rodman who was pressing up, then bullied himself, passed Rodman, received the ball and went straight to the frontcourt!

    Jordan rushed up to double-team and press but missed!

    Pippen, who was passing Doug Christie in front of him, immediately rushed toward Zhang Hao. However, Zhang Hao's speed suddenly accelerated after he broke out of the three-point line. Pippen was passed by. Then, Pippen saw Zhang Hao's speed getting faster and faster  ¡­

    Pippen and Jordan, who immediately chased after the double attack, were left behind by Zhang Hao!

    Due to the Bulls' full-court pressure defense, the Lakers' players were forced to retreat and try to respond. Zhang Hao rushed out of the three-point line, shook off Pippen, and triggered with full power alone!

    And this time, Zhang Hao¡¯s counterattack speed was faster than usual!  His perfect ball control ability brings his full power counterattack speed to the extreme!

    Rushing to the frontcourt, Zhang Hao jumped high into the air and dunked the ball into the basket with his left hand Coupled with that beautiful hair, it looked so elegant!

    28 points. In the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao scored 4 points in a row, surpassing Jordan's 27 points. At the same time, he also chased the score to 85 to 91!

    With the point difference reaching 6 points, the Bulls players were really surprised by Zhang Hao's performance, but they did not panic.

    Such a small scene would not cause them to panic.

    But the situation must be stabilized. When the Bulls attacked, Jordan came to the left side of the three-second zone and relied on Doug Christie to ask for the ball.

    Jordan¡¯s singles are the Bulls¡¯ strongest offensive weapon!

    Doug Christie didn't care whether Jordan would turn around and cut in. He stayed close and didn't give Jordan any room to turn over and shoot a jumper.

    Jordan turned around decisively, turned and took a step forward to get space. Under the defense of Doug Christie and Zhang Hao, who was covering the defense, Jordan pulled up and hit the mid-range shot!

    With this ball, it seemed that Zhang Hao reached out immediately after Jordan took the shot, but at that moment of opportunity, Jordan seized it.

    93 to 85, the Bulls lead by 8 points.

    It was the Lakers' turn to attack. O'Neal went to the basket to gain position and hit Robert Parish with his back. Jordan immediately pounced on Kenny Anderson when he passed the ball.

    O'Neal's threat is so great, but for a player of his type, it is difficult to score at the last moment of the game. He was still consumed by the opponent tonight and could only pass the ball when he knew his teammates were not feeling good.

    Kenny Anderson caught the ball and shot a three-pointer and he missed.

    Fortunately, looking back, Steve Kerr failed to score two points from the baseline, and Zhang Hao collected the rebound.

    This time, O'Neal accepted his fate after arriving in the frontcourt. Originally, he wanted to lead his teammates to a comeback on his own, but now it seems that it is better to leave it to Zhang Hao.

    O¡¯Neal went to the rushing position on the right side of the three-second zone, and Zhang Hao once again came to the top corner on the left side of the free throw line to ask for the ball.

    Rodman did not guard Zhang Hao from catching the ball because Zhang Hao was more threatening to turn around. Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Zhang Hao. When Kenny Anderson passed the ball, Jordan once again immediately flanked him.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t hesitate when he received the ball. When he caught the ball, he pushed Rodman, turned over, leaned back Jordan pounced on him!  Zhang Hao didn¡¯t pass it!  Increase the range of the recline, recline to the extreme, and tilt the recline at an angle of almost 30 degrees with the floor, and push the ball out

    With this goal, even his opponents felt that Zhang Hao was too unique!

    Then I saw the ball thrown by Zhang Hao plunge into the basket!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 246 246. Let¡¯s play pick-and-roll!

    Watching Zhang Hao throw the ball, he fell directly to the floor and slid more than a meter away. After stopping, he put his hands on the ground, jumped up and turned back to defend leaving only the flowing feeling of his hair turning around

    The last time Zhang Hao turned over and hit a jumper in that position in singles, others thought that Zhang Hao just beat Rodman suddenly, and Jordan, who was in the top arc, did not immediately attack from a flank.

    This time, Jordan's double attack was in place, and Rodman and Jordan completely blocked Zhang Hao's shooting angle But Zhang Hao was stunned and leaned back to an angle where he was almost lying in the air and shot the ball!

    That scene just now made even the Bulls fans at the scene scream in exclamation!

    I really want to watch it again!

    "It's a pity that the announcers on the big screen in the arena are Bulls staff. This time they did not meet God's expectations.

    Looking at the back of Zhang Hao who defended after scoring the goal, even Jordan was shocked by this ball. He dared to shoot it and he could make it!

    besides¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao¡¯s back-turn jump shot just now is almost the same as his back-turn jump shot, but the backward part Jordan rarely sees Zhang Hao backward when shooting, and it is also rare to see it in the video.

    ¡°However, Jordan also feels that at this stage, it doesn¡¯t matter whether Zhang Hao can lean back, but he didn¡¯t expect that the other party would also learn it!  I saw it twice today. The first time was okay, but this time

    "This boy, how far will he go to ruin my skills?"

    87 to 93, the point difference narrowed to 6 points again.

    It is unrealistic to want to make a comeback all of a sudden. The opponent is too stable, but Zhang Hao is still happy now.

    30 to 29! 7 to 6!

    He surpassed Jordan in personal scoring and number of turnaround jump shots.

    In the next few rounds, both teams played very hard, and the score difference hovered between 5-8 points.

    At 3 minutes and 28 seconds, the deadlock was finally broken. Steve Kerr hit a three-pointer. The Bulls extended their lead to 9 points 104-95!

    At this time, the Bulls' defense became aggressive again, but more measured than before. Pippen, Rodman, and Steve Kerr quickly retreated from the defense. Two rounds ago, O'Neal rushed and grabbed an offensive rebound.  The ball caused a foul and after O'Neal made two free throws, Luke Longley, who replaced Robert Parish, also quickly retreated. Jordan pressed the whole court to defend Kenny Anderson, and Kenny Anderson passed the ball to  Zhang Hao came to meet him.

    With a 9-point difference, the Bulls want to hold on to this round and then open the point difference to more than 10 points in one fell swoop.

    Zhang Hao received the ball and advanced quickly. When he reached the frontcourt, he encountered Pippen's defense. Pippen tried to steal to no avail, but Zhang Hao directly pulled him over!

    Although Pippen was shocked by Zhang Hao's change of direction, he reacted quickly and immediately turned around to interfere with Zhang Hao's two-point shot.

    When Zhang Hao suddenly reached the free throw line, Rodman was already behind him!

    Sure enough, when they came outside the three-point line, the opponent would use Pippen to defend them. Regardless of relying on strength or technical breakthroughs, Rodman immediately flanked him and didn't even have room for a pull-up jumper

    Zhang Hao had no choice but to pass the ball to George Lynch who was cutting through the baseline. The moment Zhang Hao passed the ball, Pippen immediately shrank inside. George Lynch rushed inside and faced Luke Longley and forced a throw.  During the game, Pippen rushed back and grabbed the defensive rebound, leaving O'Neal no chance to continue tipping the ball.

    After grabbing the rebound, Pippen immediately started a fast break. The Lakers retreated quickly. Pippen first passed the ball to Steve Kerr who was about to leave. Steve Kerr took advantage of the shot he had just made.  The three-point threat attracted a double attack and then split the ball. Jordan cut in and attracted the blocker. Pippen received a pass from Steve Kerr and hit a layup!

    11 points!

    Calm downcalm downcalm down!  Zhang Hao can't calm down anymore!  He asked for the ball directly from George Lynch who had just picked up the ball and walked out of the baseline.

    Jordan was still preparing to wait for Kenny Anderson to receive the serve and continue to press the defense and consume the opponent, but he missed again.

    Zhang Hao pushed forward towards the frontcourt, and when he reached the three-point line, he was decisively approached by Pippen.

    Zhang Hao made a three-pointer tonight, and he was 1 of 3. But no matter where he was, he was guarded. It was Pippen outside the three-point line and Rodman inside the three-point line.

    Zhang Hao was about to take a step forward and shoot directly Suddenly, he thought of something and waved for someone It was O'Neal!

    O¡¯Neal looked at Zhang Hao¡¯s gesture to pick and roll I don¡¯t know how to pick and roll!  But Zhang Hao was about to start a pick-and-roll, but O'Neal still pulled out and blocked Pippen's left side.

    Just when Zhang Hao moved to the right and before he could really use the pick-and-roll, O'Neal went straight down!

    Pippen was not blocked at all.I was stunned.

    But he has to calm down and adjusthow to adjust?

    It¡¯s true that he is very good at making adjustments in the direction of expanding his advantage, but he has never seen Zhang Hao¡¯s style of play just now!

    Was Zhang Hao playing a pick-and-roll just now?

    Then hit the pick-and-roll!

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the Bulls replaced Steve Kerr with Ron Harper to strengthen defense.

    The Bulls players looked at the opposing lineupare you kidding me?

    Zhang Hao, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Barkley, O'Nealno playmaker!  Kenny Anderson, Magic, Brian Shaw, none!

    The Bulls attacked, and Jordan chose to play from behind this time. He made several sudden moves and had to slow down.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Facing a double-attack by George Lynch and Doug Christie, Jordan still scored two points by turning around and making a short-range jumper.

    After the transition from offense to defense, the Lakers attacked and finally came to their senses. The fans turned from being stunned to being deeply frightened and booed Zhang Hao with deafening boos.

    Zhang Hao advanced to the frontcourt, and the defender became Pippen. Pippen directly defended outside the three-point line.

    Barkley came up to help Zhang Hao block Pippen. Rodman immediately stepped out and did not give Zhang Hao a chance to shoot a three-pointer. This defense expansion was very thorough.

    Zhang Hao did not force himself. He used Barkley's pick-and-roll to break through. After bypassing the pick-and-roll, he passed by Rodman who came out and went straight to the inside.

    Jordan also made up for it!

    It was difficult to avoid the change of direction. Zhang Hao immediately chose to turn around while walking and leaned towards Jordan. Before Rodman could catch up, he quickly turned over and shot a jumper

    When the ball was thrown, Rodman, who turned around and rushed over, bumped into Zhang Hao, who was still in the air.

    Zhang Hao almost fell, but it did not affect his shooting.

    As the ball fell into the basket, the referee's whistle sounded. Rodman fouled Zhang Hao's shooting. Zhang Hao's goal was valid and he had to be punished!

    Watching Zhang Hao go to the free throw line and hit the extra free throw, watching the score come to 112 to 110, with only two points left in the lead

    Not only that, Zhang Hao¡¯s personal score increased to 49 points!  Zhang Hao scored 25 points in a single quarter!

    This is not the scariest thing.

    Jordan has already scored 44 points and scored 17 points in the final quarter. He has scored consecutively in the past few rounds and has not missed a shot in several consecutive rounds.

    But Zhang Hao is even more terrifying, scoring 15 points in a row in the past 5 rounds!

    Even Jordan was dumbfounded when faced with such a situation.

    Maybe it¡¯s because the mood is affected, maybe it¡¯s because the Lakers defended well, or maybe it¡¯s time to strike, Jordan¡¯s consecutive hits are interrupted, and it¡¯s time to strike alone!

    Barkley protected the rebound and passed it to Zhang Hao, who advanced to the frontcourt

    What does it mean for a person to completely open up the space?

    Zhang Hao hadn't reached the three-point line yet, but one meter away from the three-point line, Jordan and Pippen attacked him from a double flank!

    Zhang Hao quickly raised the ball and stood on tiptoe to protect the ball strongly!

    Barkley immediately cut inside. When Jordan jumped up to grab the ball, Zhang Hao knocked the ball out to the left side of the three-second zone. Barkley received the ball and attracted the defense and passed the second pass. O'Neal made an alley-oop dunk!

    Del Harris on the sidelines looked at the cooperation of the three strongest players on his team.

    They cooperated very well and had the undefensible tyranny of the first quarter.

 Chapter 247 247. The wigged gentleman¡¯s crazy night!

    Also, the treatment Zhang Hao enjoyed was too exaggerated, double-teamed by Jordan + Pippen!

    Who was the last person to be double-teamed by Jordan and Pippen with the ball outside the three-point line?

    The magician has stood up and applauded.

    Finally, after Zhang Hao broke out so many times, he finally looked like him for a round!

    112 square meters!  The Lakers finally tied the score!

    There is only one point left to reach 50 points. Zhang Hao has scored 15 points in a row before. Everyone thinks that he will continue to shoot and increase his personal score to above 50.

    If it were Jordan, he would definitely choose to do this.

    But Zhang Hao didn¡¯t!

    At this moment, he completely entered the state of "only thinking about winning".

    The Zen Master called a timeout to enter the official timeout, but he really had no choice at this time.

    If the Lakers play well with regular cooperation or defend well and catch up with the score, he can still think of something.

    But in the past five rounds, they scored 6 points on 3-of-5 shooting, which was pretty good. Then, they were tied by the Lakers 17-6.

    In less than three minutes, the Lakers scored 17 points in 6 attacks. This is no longer fun!

    There are 5 minutes and 33 seconds left, 112 tied.

    ? ?Obviously the score was just "both sides returned to the same starting line", but they were leading by 11 points and were tied by the opponent's 6 consecutive goals!

    ¡­¡­

    The official timeout came back, and there were no substitutions on either side.

    Jordan likes this feeling very much. It¡¯s great to win all the time, but he also enjoys the pressure of the opponent riding on his face.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? win? such? a? game? like? this? match? is? won.

    When the Bulls attacked, Ron Harper received the ball and advanced. When he reached the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Jordan and then cut inside, stretching the top arc.

    Jordan received the ball, pushed his head toward Doug Christie, and pushed hard. After Doug Christie was pushed away a little, Jordan directly pulled up the top arc and shot a three-pointer

    In!

    The fans at the scene were depressed for a while and immediately cheered loudly!

    The only one they can believe now is Jordan!

    The shortened three-point line is a blessing for Jordan. This position has good opportunities and he has a good grasp of it. So far in the new season, his three-point shooting rate in the top arc area has reached 44%.

    But in this area, he has very few chances to take action. Just like Zhang Hao was stuck in this area, Jordan's style of play is purely rogue style.

    ¡°But Jordan will not care about face in this kind of thing. The most important thing is to be able to create shooting opportunities.

    In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Hao received the serve and advanced.

    Watching Zhang Hao advance, Bulls fans thought of Magic

    After arriving in the frontcourt, Zhang Hao encountered Jordan guarding him. This time, Pippen did not come up to directly attack. Zhang Hao raised the ball, and they could only jump up and grab the ball like idiots.

    However, facing Jordan's close defense, Zhang Hao really didn't have any space to shoot a three-pointer. He couldn't use his head to open up the space like Jordan did and had to bend down.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, Barkley pulled out to help Zhang Hao pick and roll!

    Rodman continued to choose to directly defend from the three-point line to prevent Zhang Hao's three-pointer. Zhang Hao used Barkley to block Jordan and break through to the inside!

    Pippen released Doug Christie to double attack Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao was blocked by Pippen and Rodman on the right side of the free throw line.

    At this time, Barkley was stuck by Jordan, and Luke Longley was desperately trying to get in position with O'Neal under the basket, only giving him a chance to play singles but not giving him a chance to eat

    Zhang Hao sent a pass to the ground. George Lynch went around to the top corner on the left side of the free throw line and cut in the middle. He went straight to the basket for a layup and scored two points!

    Rodman has blocked Zhang Hao's passing route to George Lynch, but the direction of Zhang Hao's ground pass is one step outside the collision area.

    This ball is really bold!  If George Lynch doesn't cut in time, or Jordan takes two steps to the left, he can complete the steal!

    However, George Lynch cut in, Jordan did not dare to let go of Barkley, and Zhang Hao passed!

    Offense and defense transition, the Bulls attack, when Jordan arrived in the frontcourt, he found that the defender had changed and became Zhang Hao!

    Zhang Hao wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs. Yes, he had helped the Lakers score 19 points in a row and had a chance to regain the lead.

    But now he still doesn't dare to relax. Since Doug Christie failed to guard Jordan at all, and Jordan already scored 47 points, he might as well guard it himself, which at least can cover Jordan's space to shoot a three-pointer.

    Seeing Jordan receiving the ball, Zhang Hao stayed on the three-point lineI was too tired to retreat immediately and couldn't run back to the backcourt immediately. It's time for O'Neal and Barkley!

    After receiving a long pass from Zhang Hao in the frontcourt, Barkley rushed to the right side of the three-second zone and was blocked by Ron Harper and Jordan. He passed the ball to the left side of the basket. O'Neal took off in one step from the left side of the three-second zone. Pippen wanted to  Rely on fouls to stop O'Neal. Even if O'Neal makes two free throws in the last quarter tonight, he can only foul.

    but!

    O'Neal was fouled by Pippen while taking off and was not affected at all!

    With Pippen hanging on his body, O'Neal jumped high and pressed the flying ball into the basket!

    The goal is valid, but there will be an additional penalty!

    Not to mention, O'Neal's free throws at this time are quite trustworthy, and he also scored extra free throws!  125 to 119, the Lakers hit a wave of 6 to 0!

    Before O'Neal made the free throw, Jackson replaced Steve Kerr and replaced Ron Harper.

    With 1 minute and 18 seconds left and a 6-point deficit, the Bulls did not give up.

    With a 6-point lead, the Lakers continued to defend Jordan with three people and two people at the basket.

    Jordan decisively passed the ball to Steve Kerr, but Steve Kerr didn't play for half a quarter, and the touch he had finally achieved before was gone!

    Steve Kerr missed his first three-pointer!

    Still fight back!  At the critical moment, the Lakers got counterattack opportunities in three consecutive rounds!

    Rodman did not limit Zhang Hao's speed this time. He simply gave up rushing and retreated quickly.

    O'Neal, George Lynch, and Barkley stepped down quickly. Zhang Hao accelerated in the middle and stopped outside the three-point line!

    Jordan and Pippen once again rushed out to flank Zhang Hao at this position, and Zhang Hao once again raised the ball

    Give it to O'Neal!

    Rodman looked at the two fat guys rushing in from the basket. When he saw O'Neal receiving the ball, he controlled the ball and rushed towards the basket

    When it comes to standing firm to carry O'Neal, Rodman was not afraid at all, but when O'Neal rushed, Rodman had no choice but to rush forward and foul!

    But, O'Neal stopped!  Such a huge body suddenly stopped and threw the ball

    Reciprocating the favor, Barkley received an alley-oop dunk from O'Neal's lob!

    With 46 seconds left, the Bulls were already working hard to retreat, but Barkley's dunk this time opened the point difference to 8 points, which really broke the momentum that the Bulls were holding back!

    The ultimate frontcourt combination started with an advantage, and in the end, it was still the three-person counterattack of the ultimate frontcourt combination that sealed the victory!

    With an 8-point difference and 46 seconds, Jordan still refused to give up. After receiving the serve and advancing to the front court, Zhang Hao made a foul and made two free throws.

    After Jordan made two free throws, Luke Longley fouled O'Neal as soon as the Lakers released the ball.

    However, there were only 37 seconds left. Although Jordan's attack just now was very fast, it only took 9 seconds to advance with the ball and cause a foul.

    However, Jackson did not call a timeout after Barkley's alley-oop dunk, which means that Jackson, the head coach, has given up.

    8 points. They have not made a three-pointer for a long time. If they want to tie, they have to score 4 goals

    Furthermore, O'Neal went to the free throw line. Although he failed to make two free throws, he made 1 of 2 free throws, once again widening the point difference to the point where he needed 4 goals within the three-point line to catch up!

    As Jordan missed a three-point shot, there were only 24 seconds left. The ball was released, the Bulls stopped fouling, and Zhang Hao advanced to the frontcourt and stopped playing.

    At this time, the scene was very quiet, and everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Zhang Hao

    Scored 21 points in a row, 31 points and 3 assists in a single quarter

    Originally, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the fans were laughing when they saw Zhang Hao running back to the locker room to put on a wig during the break.

    At this moment, Zhang Hao¡¯s flowing long hair was shaking while dribbling, making Bulls fans feel like he was laughing at them

    The final whistle sounded and the fans began to leave quietly

    Relying on Zhang Hao's sudden burst of crazy shooting in the last quarter, the Lakers scored 47-30 in a single quarter, responding to the Bulls' 40-21 in the third quarter, and reversed the league's first-ranked Bulls 129-121!

    What¡¯s more, it was a huge reversal in the final quarter after being overtaken by 10 points!

    Zhang Hao touched his head - just think he bought a wig?

    There was no time for Zhang Hao to continue thinking about the wig issue. Reporters had already gathered around him.

    "Akers, you broke Vernon Maxwell's record of 30 points in a single quarter, scored 31 points, and became the player with the highest score in a single quarter currently. It's crazy. How did you do it?"

    Your English actually has a Beijing accent?

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t pay attention at first, but when he looked carefully, Director Zhang!

    No wonder he was able to fight his way through a crowd of blacks and whites and get the first chance to ask questions.

    Zhang Weiping has just resigned from his job as a consultant for the Chinese Women's Basketball Team and became the manager of China Sports International Management Company. He has his own program "Basketball Lecture" on the Chaoting Sports Channel, and has become the commentator for the live broadcast of key events on the Chaoting Channel.

    The Christmas game is naturally considered a key event. Originally, the league arranged an exclusive interview with the imperial court after the game. However, these American colleagues did not follow the rules. Zhang Weiping could only wave his pair of shoes that helped him win the scoring title in the World Championships.  Iron Elbow took back his first opportunity to ask questions.

    Director Zhang looked so tyrannical Zhang Hao secretly sighed, he was indeed a fan of that man!

    Let¡¯s answer the question first. Zhang Hao asked: ¡°Director Zhang, what is the highest score scored by a Bulls player in a single quarter at their home court?¡±

    Director Zhang!  Zhang Weiping liked this title very much and immediately replied: "28 points. Jordan scored 28 points when he played the Spurs at home."

    Zhang Hao nodded: "The holder of this record has been replaced."

    wipe!  This is so crazy!  However, Zhang Weiping felt that there was nothing wrong with it, because Zhang Hao really did it!

    A reporter from Sports Illustrated asked at this time: "You defeated Michael Jordan again. Do you think you are Jordan's nemesis?"

    "Jordan's nemesis?" Zhang Hao smoothed his long hair that he didn't usually have. He was quite energetic. He shook his head and said, "I'm not. He also beat me once."

    Due to Zhang Hao's crazy performance in the fourth quarter, the reporters on the sidelines immediately forgot that Zhang Hao was wearing a wig. They only reacted when they saw Zhang Hao's actions. The Sports Illustrated reporter immediately asked: "Why are you wearing a wig in the fourth quarter?"  Go back to the locker room to change your hair during the third quarter? Is there any meaning?"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s hand on the back of his head froze Damn it!  I almost forgot it was a wig!

    He suddenly woke up, he seemed to be enjoying it a little now!

    "Ahem," Zhang Hao coughed twice, widened his eyes, and shook his head again: "Nothing special, I just got a wig and wanted to try it on to change my mood, but"

    Change your mood?

    ??If you have to say so, reporters also think this reason is acceptable, but Zhang Hao finally said one more

    "However, I also want to educate those players who can only shave their heads after going bald. Although the current technology is not developed enough to cure their baldness, they can choose wigs.

    If you have hair, if you have long hair, it might be a little more powerful.

    ¡°And, you¡¯ll actually look better with long hair¡­¡±

    It really deserves a beating!  Several reporters present who were already in the Mediterranean looked atWithout playing in the final quarter, Zhang Hao defended the basket very well. After George Lynch and Ben Wallace were replaced, Magic and Jason Williams actively shrank to protect Zhang Hao.  The box helped a lot.

    Finally, by limiting the Celtics to no field goal for 4 minutes and only scoring 3 points from free throws, the Lakers went on a 15-4 run, tying the score at 88 and catching up with the point difference!

    In the last two and a half minutes, although the Celtics players found the feeling, Rick Fox hit a top-arc three-pointer and passed a baseline cutaway to Anthony Walker.

    But after Zhang Hao attracted a double attack, he passed two consecutive three-pointers to Kenny Anderson for assists. Boss Kenny seized the opportunity!

    At 11 minutes and 41 seconds, Zhang Hao caught the ball, turned around and rushed to the basket, causing Anthony Walker to foul and hit a 2+1 penalty. Finally, the victory was sealed!

    The Celtics missed their last attack, and the final score difference was locked at 4 points!

    Relying on Zhang Hao¡¯s 33 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, who played 42 minutes, and Kenny Anderson¡¯s 27 points, the Lakers reversed the Celtics 97-93 and won two consecutive victories!

 Chapter 249 249. I didn¡¯t say you were short!

    December 29, the last game day of 1996, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Sacramento Kings at home.

    After a tough offensive battle, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Kings 113-108 and won their third consecutive victory.

    The Kings¡¯ Mitch Richmond scored 32 points and Billy Owens scored 29 points, leading the Kings to a very strong offense.

    Thanks to the poor defense of the Kings, Zhang Hao scored 25 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block and 2 steals, Kenny Anderson scored 22 points and 8 assists, O'Neal scored 23 points and 11 rebounds, and Byron Scott scored 16 points.  , Magic scored 5 points and 7 assists and won the game with difficulty.

    ¡­¡­

    "The Celtics and Kings are so useless! Richmond is so rubbish! Suck cough cough cough" Jordan was so angry that he took a deep breath of the cigar, almost choked to death, and quickly threw the cigar away.

    In the past, Larry Bird injured his back while weeding and building roads and retired early. Later, Michael Jordan cut a cigar and permanently damaged the nerves in his fingers, which left a psychological shadow.

    January 1, 1997, the new year has arrived.

    At 12 noon, NBA officially announced the best of the month awards for December 1996.

    On December 30 last year, Zhang Hao won his second Best of the Week award in December, bringing his number of Best of the Week awards to three this season.

    The key is that the two best-of-the-week awards in December allowed him to win the Player of the Month Award for December 1996 at noon today!

    In terms of Rookie of the Month, there are two people tied. Sharif Rahim of the Grizzlies and Corey Kittles of the Nets jointly won the Rookie of the Month award in December.

    Sharif Rahim played 17 games in December, averaging 21.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. Corey Kittles played 16 games, averaging 20.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

    The competition among the rookies in the 1996 class is extremely fierce. Iverson averaged 17.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game in December. He focused more on strengthening the organization and offense. He also did quite well personally and performed very well.  , but still failed to win the Rookie of the Year Award.

    Jordan doesn¡¯t care about the Rookie of the Month award at all, all he cares about is the Player of the Month award!

    After the first two months of competition, the Bulls' record was 27 wins and 5 losses. Last month, they achieved a record of 13 wins and 3 losses, which was a very good performance.

    However, the Lakers went 13-1 last month

    The Lakers were in such bad shape after the Christmas Day game. After the game between the Lakers and the Celtics, Jordan expected the Kings to upset the team. Although the Kings had only a record of 13 wins and 17 losses at that time, they were eighth in the Western Conference.  , As a result, the Kings were not strong at the critical moment. Richmond was intercepted by Zhang Hao after the official timeout in the fourth quarter, which directly caused the Kings to lose the chance to equalize the score with a goal, and finally lost by 5 points.

    Originally, if the Lakers lost one more game in December, Jordan might still be able to rely on more wins to complete his consecutive best-of-the-month

    He has played in the regular season for 10 months since his comeback, and Jordan has only won the Player of the Month award once. Although it is more difficult to win the Player of the Month award this year regardless of the Eastern and Western Conferences, in Jordan's career, he has not won the Player of the Month award since he was a rookie.  After the season, there has never been a situation where he only won the best of the month in 10 months.

    Jordan is really angry!

    It was robbed once in December 1995, and again in 1996!

    Think about it again, in December 1995, he was defeated once by Zhang Hao at home. In December 1996, Zhang Hao went even further and stole his team's single-quarter scoring record at home

    Jordan feels that Zhang Hao is his nemesis in December!

    ¡­¡­

    When the Lakers won three consecutive victories to end all games in 1996, people already knew that Zhang Hao was going to win the best of the month.

    However, the Lakers¡¯ performance after the Christmas Day game was still very unexpected.

    Originally, the media and fans thought that after the Christmas game, the Lakers would enter a new level because Barkley played so well against the Bulls, and the Lakers also showed their performance against the Bulls this season.  The strongest strength.

    However, instead of performing better, the Lakers seem to have regressed. They are back to the beginning of the season, playing 50-50 against everyone

    However, it is not just the performance of the Lakers that has declined, but all teams with good records have experienced a decline in strength after the Christmas game.

    In this stage where the three-point line is shortened, teams with good records are usually strong defensive teams. Fierce confrontations, with up to 17 and at least 13 games in a month, are very taxing on the major teams.

    Although the Lakers focus on offense, the confrontation consumption will definitely not be small, because they have to deal with strong defensive teams.

    At this time, teams with poor records are more active.

    Weak team"Continuous injuries in the regular season like the Rockets"

    However, seeing Byron Scott and Brian Shaw standing with Barkley Zhang Hao gave up the idea of ??leveraging Barkley's strength.

    Now this guy is thinking about how to mess with his bald head!

    ??Forget it, it has also led to the wrong style of the two future head coaches!

    Of course Barkley doesn't want to see injuries or teammates get injured. However, he has been playing for more than ten years. Not to mention the number of times he has seen his teammates injured, he has been injured many times, and both his hands and feet have been injured.  He has lost count. He has never been seriously injured, but minor injuries are common.

    This kind of thing is inevitable. As time goes by, you will naturally accept it.

    Facing injuries to yourself and your teammates is something that a professional player must experience and accept.

    A large part of the money they get is to pay for their current or future soup and medicine expenses.

    Barkley is not the only one on the Lakers who has a bald head. Brian Shaw and Byron Scott all suffer from the same pain as the players wearing No. 23 jersey.

    At this moment, their pain was understood.

    And for Zhang Hao, this is a kind of torture!

    Seeing Zhang Hao coming, the two future coaches still couldn't save face. They also had a sense of hiding their ears and stealing the bell, and they didn't dare to look directly at others.

    But Buckley was different. He immediately ran to Zhang Hao and asked: "Akers, which designer did you hire for your wig? The design was too good. The designers I hired were all so bad that they couldn't design it at all."  A wig that fits like yours!¡±

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t want to look directly at Barkley¡¯s afro, so he turned his head and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t hire a designer.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s what you designed yourself? Oh my god, help me design one too!¡±

    "That's not what I meantOkay! I'll help you design it!"

    Zhang Hao was originally depressed because of his big fat injury. Seeing that Barkley, the team's second-best boss, ignored the basketball court and only focused on hairstyling, he decided to do something to change his mood!

    "Okay! Ax, what kind of hairstyle do you think is suitable for me? Watermelon hair is not good, I don't want that."

    "Don't worry, it's definitely not a watermelon head Is your wig expensive?"

    "expensive."

    "As long as it's expensive, come on Hey, Teacher Tony, bring me a pair of scissors"

    What does it mean to be expensive?  Scissors do you want to get started?

    Before Barkley could react, Zhang Hao pulled him to the mirror in the lounge.

    Without giving Buckley a chance to struggle, Zhang Hao directly lifted up Buckley's wig, and it actually stuck to the skin-like fake skin, and the fake skin stuck to his head!

    No wonder it looks just like the real thing!

    Zhang Hao has only used the wig given by the system, which is completely different from this one.

    It¡¯s really not a hassle!  Isn't it troublesome to wash your bald head tonight?  Sticky like tape.

    It doesn¡¯t matter, as long as it¡¯s expensive!

    Very quickly, it¡¯s done in just a few clicks

    Before Barkley could react, the wig on his head had changed beyond recognition

    "Mr. Buckley, next time you order a wig, please follow this. This wig is tighter and made into a long bullet shape. It is best to stand up on the top of the head, so that the heightening effect will be obvious

    I¡¯m not saying you¡¯re short!  "

 Chapter 250 250. Ordinary rookie who counterattacks

    January 4th is the last game day of the Lakers¡¯ 4-game winning streak. The opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers. Fox Sports will broadcast the game live.

    Originally, the game between the Lakers and the 76ers was only broadcast live when the Lakers went away.

    However, since Iverson won the nickname "58", his popularity has greatly increased. Originally, his high level of attention was limited to fans' attention to a favorite for the best rookie. Now, there is a lot more ridicule and even malicious intent.  sound.

    There is indeed a lot of black material about Iverson's character, playing style, dark history in high school, etc., and he is now in a state of black and red.

    But black and red are also red. The 76ers, a team that is fiercely competing with the Spurs for the third-to-last place in the league, had as many as 14 live games from January to April 1997.

    The game with the Lakers is an extra broadcast, and there will be live broadcasts of games with the Grizzlies, Bulls, Pistons, etc. that Iverson can catch up with.

    These opponents either have Rookie of the Year candidates like Sharif Rahim, Jordan who was pushed aside, or top young players like Grant Hill and Anfernee Hardaway.  star.

    The Lakers are a bit special because the 76ers were beaten by the Lakers by 58 points the last time they played against the Lakers. Iverson also "realized" the nickname "ordinary rookie" in that game.

    Because of various factors, the game between the Lakers and the 76ers has attracted a lot of attention.

    And this kind of high attention is a kind of torture for Iverson!

    After arriving in Los Angeles yesterday, Iverson was just wandering the streets when he saw a billboard for "58 Technology" on the roadside The poster on the advertisement was taken by himself!

    Occasionally, basketball fans will pass by and they will sign five to his right hand and eight to his left

    Los Angeles fans welcome him very much, but he doesn¡¯t want this kind of welcome at all!

    ¡­¡­

    At 6:40 in the evening, the game between the 76ers and the Lakers was about to begin, and players from the two teams entered the court.

    The visiting team¡¯s starter was the first to appear. The DJ at the Great Western Forum Arena shouted ¡°Welcome Allen Iverson from the 76ers¡± with a passionate voice, and the scene erupted with deafening cheers.

    ??????????????????????????????????Iverson is the star of this arena.

    Iverson¡¯s face was livid when he ran out.

    He really doesn¡¯t want the nearly $7 million in endorsement fees per year, but!  He must also advertise to the other party, or he must also advertise to the other party.

    So, Iverson could only cry every month to shoot an advertisement for 58 Technology and sign for the $580,000of which $208,800.

    The remaining $371,200 has been purchased by 58 Technology as an underpinning fund. You can still get a sum of money every year after the age of 40, and you can only get the entire principal after the age of 55.

    Except for Iverson, there were no cheers from the rest of the 76ers, and of course no boos. The only 76ers player that Los Angeles fans care about is Iverson.

    When the Lakers made their first appearance, O'Neal was absent due to injury and sat on the sidelines in a suit. The first player to appear was Zhang Hao, and the fans at the scene gave him enthusiastic cheers.

    Barkley is about to play next, and the fans are looking forward to it. Since the Christmas game, the cheers of the fans have become enthusiastic again when Barkley plays at home.

    Originally, in December, Barkley's performance continued to be "sluggish". Many Lakers fans felt that they had suffered a big loss by exchanging Van Exel, Anthony Peeler, Donyel Marshall, and draft picks for Barkley.  .

    But after the Lakers beat the Bulls, those voices disappeared.

    It¡¯s obvious that Barkley is just being lazy, and even if he really declines, as long as he is useful when playing against the Bulls!

    Just when the fans were ready to cheer for Barkley, the music changed

    It became the famous song "wewillrockyou" by Queen!

    This change was very sudden, and Barkley didn't come out for a while.

    After the ab section was almost played, when it came to the first sentence of the lyrics "singing", which is "sing loudly", the DJ shouted "Welcome Sir Barkley" in a high-pitched voice, followed by "Singing", which suddenly increased the volume.  Sing loudly" lyrics.

    In such a strange situation, everyone at the scene was staring at the home team's players' tunnel, wanting to find out - what on earth was going to happen?

    With the chorus of "wewill, wewillrockyou" increasing in volume, everyone saw a man who claimed to be 1.98 meters tall and had "longer" hair, but only about 6 centimeters wide.?Maybe intercepted by Iverson!

    Fortunately, he had experience in a match, and Kenny Anderson was prepared. Under Iverson's extremely impactful defense, Kenny Anderson found a gap in Iverson's impactful defense and made a beautiful behind-the-back dribble.  Open up your body and rush inside!

    Iverson cannot be guarded now, he can only keep up with him. Even emergency stop jumpers may not interfere with him, so he can only rely on his teammates.

    But Campbell isn¡¯t here!

    Kenny Anderson went straight to the basket. Clarence Witherspoon let go of Barkley and took it back, but due to hesitation, he was still a beat late. Kenny Anderson broke through and hit a layup!

    Kenny Anderson¡¯s behind-the-back dribbling was quite cool this time, and the fans at the scene did not hesitate to applaud and cheer for the true boss and true giant of their team.

    When the 76ers attack again, they switch defenses. Barkley goes to the basket to defend Coleman, George Lynch defends Clarence Witherspoon, a 198cm short power forward, and Kenny Anderson defends him.  Pitcher Rex and Doug Christie continue to guard Stackhouse.

    Just as Zhang Hao expected, Iverson did not pass the ball to Coleman. This guy would definitely do it himself when he saw Zhang Hao coming to defend him.

    Iverson continued to dribble under his hips. Zhang Hao remained unmoved. Suddenly, Iverson broke through to the right!

    Iverson was very fast. Just like the last time they played against each other, Zhang Hao failed to block Iverson's breakthrough because he didn't move at all before. However, Zhang Hao was not messy at all. He stretched out his hand to cover the space for Iverson to stop for a jumper.  Block up COSCO's space.

    But just when Zhang Hao followed the onrushing Iverson and turned to the free throw line, he was blocked!

    Clarence Witherspoon came out to block Zhang Hao, but George Lynch had already moved into the three-second zone and was ready to flank Iverson with Zhang Hao. At this time, it was too late to save, and Iverson was on the right side of the three-second zone.  Hit the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll!

    When the Lakers attacked, Kenny Anderson passed Iverson and attracted Clarence Witherspoon and Rex Waters from the left side of the three-second zone, as well as Iverson's pursuit behind him.  Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Doug Christie. Doug Christie missed a three-pointer from the corner behind Kenny Anderson, but Barkley cut in and tipped the ball in for two points.

    With just such a tip-in, Barkley received loud cheers tonight

    Immediately afterwards, Iverson continued to play Zhang Hao in singles. Zhang Hao was alert this time. He actively accelerated his speed in the top corner on the right side of the free throw line in an attempt to block Iverson's shot around the pick-and-roll, but Iverson was borrowing the pick-and-roll.  He suddenly stopped suddenly, stepped back and changed direction at high speed, took a step outside the free throw line, got rid of Zhang Hao's air cover, and hit another jump shot!

    Next, the Lakers' offense stalled after scoring three consecutive goals at the beginning. Zhang Hao went around the top arc to get rid of Coleman and missed the three-pointer. Iverson actively moved in to pick up the defensive rebound and came to the front.  The field continues with singles.

    Zhang Hao was hesitant this time when Iverson was advancing, but he still chose to try not to give Iverson room to break through.

    In the two goals just now, Iverson's use of teammates' pick-and-rolls in his breakthrough has been a clear improvement compared to the previous encounter.

    Without a rim-protecting center at the basket, he defended Iverson like he did the last time he played the 76ers. It didn't work!  Iverson must first be blocked from breaking into the three-point line.

    However, facing Iverson¡¯s fake move, Zhang Hao was stunned and was knocked away. Iverson quickly pulled away to avoid Zhang Hao¡¯s sudden stop and turned around and hit a jumper!

    This ball is similar to the time Iverson knocked away Jordan!

    The difference is that when Iverson beats Zhang Hao, he needs to find other threats first in order to force Zhang Hao to prevent him from breaking through, instead of simply preventing him from shooting.

    This is a bit difficult, but Iverson did it!

    After the shot, Iverson raised his neck towards Zhang Hao again: "Gentleman, do you still think I'm ordinary?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 251 251. Sign of maturity

    Glancing at Iverson, Zhang Hao did not respond.

    At this time, answering the other party in any language will make the other party more proud.

    You have to find a way to pay it backbut how?

    He can guard Iverson, but Iverson can't guard him!

    If Iverson dares to guard him, he has to let the opponent know what a sharpshooter is. He will definitely shoot against Iverson's shots again and again.

    After running to the frontcourt, Zhang Hao still went to open up the space and was not affected by Iverson's words.

    However, Kenny Anderson took the initiative to help Zhang Hao find opportunities!

    After advancing to the frontcourt, Kenny Anderson looked for Zhang Hao to pick and roll!

    Zhang Hao was a little strange. Kenny Anderson was better off breaking through in the pick-and-roll, but he still went up to help Kenny Anderson block Iverson. Kenny Anderson understood Zhang Hao very well and forced the opponent to follow Clarence Witherspoon.  After changing defense, he passed the ball directly back. Iverson wanted to go around Zhang Hao reached out to catch the ball from Iverson's back and top.

    It was strange at first, but after receiving the ball, Zhang Hao knew what Kenny Anderson meant.

    Create opportunities for him to beat Iverson one-on-one!

    Iverson watched Zhang Hao catch the ball and lift it up, and wanted to curse - how to defend against this?  If someone directly invests, what can he do?

    ¡°However, there was an opportunity to vote directly, but Zhang Hao did not choose to do that.

    Play!

    Such a fun thing, of course you have to play it!

    Zhang Hao pulled the ball down. Iverson reached out to get the ball. Zhang Hao flexibly pulled the ball to the side and out of the defense. Following the behind-the-back dribbling movement that he had trained three times with training cards before, Zhang Hao moved horizontally.  Dribbling behind La's back!

    It¡¯s actually dribbling from behind!  Iverson quickly moved to the right, blocked the ball, and tried to steal when Zhang Hao changed direction.

    Iverson's speed and impact were stronger than Zhang Hao expected, and he was almost intercepted. Fortunately, he had practiced for a few days. With the distance separated by his body, Zhang Hao moved the ball from the back of his left leg to his crotch.  On the next shot, he stepped forward and blocked Iverson's movement to return to his position. He caught the ball with his right hand and there was space!

    Zhang Hao dodges Iverson and then goes straight to the basket!

    "King of Cross Steps (Bronze)" triggers!  Speed ??+3, start at the fastest speed!

    Rushing into the paint, Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket through Derek Coleman!

    I really wanted to escapebut I couldn'tUnprepared, Derek Coleman was guarding the basket, waiting for Zhang Hao to directly hit Iverson, and then I saw Zhang Hao change direction with a cross step.  Iverson stepped aside and burst in!

    With this size and speed, he rushed in. Let alone guarding him, he didn¡¯t even have time to commit a foul!

    What makes Coleman most sad and angry is that after Zhang Hao dunked him, he turned around and ran back as if he didn't see him.

    The fans at the scene started cheering when Zhang Hao changed direction and broke through Iverson, here it comes!  finally come!  Zhang Hao¡¯s point guard style!

    When passing by Iverson, Zhang Hao slowed down and said to Iverson, who had a dull expression: "Change the direction? It seems very simple."

    Iverson is going to explode!

    He was a point guard, a point guard who claimed to be 183, and was shaken away by a center who claimed to be 206 centimeters and used a cross-step change to pass!

    This is like a loud slap on his face

    The man¡¯s collapse happened in an instant.

    If Zhang Hao uses rough language or uses more violent attacks to deal with Iverson, Iverson will become more motivated.

    But Zhang Hao ignored Iverson¡¯s provocation and instead used Iverson¡¯s most proud skills to fight back which directly made Iverson¡¯s mentality explode!

    Originally, Iverson wanted to start a series of attacks after threatening. He wanted to win. Last month, he lost the Player of the Month award because of low scoring. It was because he consciously wanted to become  A better point guard.

    Now, all sense and calmness are gone!

    After arriving in the frontcourt, Iverson continued to play singles. At this time, Zhang Hao covered the three-point line and mid-range defense, which had an effect.

    Zhang Hao's defense is not stupid and just follows the previous method. He is wary of the opponent's pick-and-roll at the free throw line, strengthens the defense in the direction of Clarence Witherspoon, and gives Iverson room to break through from the other side.  .

    With Iverson's speed, he could have relied on his own speed to force a detour to the right. In that case, it would be difficult for George Lynch to prevent Iverson's change of direction jump shot, but after Iverson lost his calmness,  , when he saw an opportunity, he thought it was an opportunity, broke through from the left, was flanked by Zhang Hao and Barkley, forced a shot and was slapped out of bounds by Zhang Hao!?Play opposite a monster.

    However, when Pierce thought about starring opposite a monster, he felt a little excited

    ¡­¡­

    January 7th and 8th are two days off for the Lakers.

    A child¡¯s birthday will make him happy for a long time, but an adult¡¯s birthday will just pass after it.

    On the 8th, the Lakers prepared for the next home game. The Lakers arranged very few trainings. In the middle of the season, they mainly focused on rest.

    At 10:30 in the morning, after the two training sessions, Zhang Hao returned home and started training on cross-step changes.

    Training with training cards and learning by yourself in front of a video or having someone teach you are two completely different feelings.

    As soon as he starts today¡¯s training, he seems to know what to practice in his mind. During the rest time after completing a set of training exercises, he can analyze which actions he did not do well enough in the previous set of training

    At the end of every hour of training, you can feel your progress!

    The most intuitive thing is that at 7 o'clock in the evening, after finishing today's six-hour crossover training, Zhang Hao received a system prompt and his ball control improved to 77!

    No matter how much I practiced before, after controlling the ball to 76, I never made any progress.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t care much about this. After all, he was not a ball-handling player in the beginning. Later, when he started to strengthen his ball control, he grew taller It is already very good to be able to control the ball like this.

    But of course he is happy that it can still be improved!

    ¡­¡­

    On January 9th, the first game day of the Lakers¡¯ 6-game winning streak arrived, and they faced the challenge of the Vancouver Grizzlies.

    This opponent is truly the worst team in the league.

    The reason why the 76ers are bad is because there are overlapping player positions, internal conflicts, and problems of one kind or another; the Celtics are bad because they are deliberately bad to a large extent; the Spurs are in trouble because David Robinson is retired.  And it¡¯s the kind of injury that could affect his career, so let¡¯s just destroy Bo Duncan¡­

    The Grizzlies are just plain bad!

    Zhang Hao attaches great importance to this game. The opponent has a player he is familiar with-Sharif Rahim.

    In the evening, the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies was about to begin. After the players from the two teams entered the stadium, Zhang Hao and Rahim chatted before the game.

    Rahim gave Zhang Hao the impression that he was a very good young man from a rich family, and he had a good conversation. Rahim was a very well-educated person, restrained and low-key, and had his own self-confidence. He would not be stronger now because he was in high school.  Zhang Hao was full of jealousy or looked down upon himself when he was stronger. When he talked about who was in their training camp, he was full of nostalgia

    However, just when Zhang Hao and Rahim were chatting happily, the Grizzlies coach called Rahim away.

    It seemed like it was normal to call the team¡¯s new young core before the game to tell him how to play the game, but when Zhang Hao looked at him, he felt like the other party was treating him like a thief!

    The Grizzlies coach has nothing to do!  As a team that has just joined the NBA for its second season, they are now pointing to Raheem, the third pick, to lead the team to rise in the future. What should they do if they are bullied by Zhang Hao?

    Look at the No. 1 point guard of the 76ers, it¡¯s so miserable!

    Just when Zhang Hao was confused, the mission prompt came

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 252 252. Rookies¡¯ nightmare

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao has become a villain in the minds of head coaches of NBA teams with talented rookies who bully talented rookies. The host needs to ask Zhang Hao whether he accepts such an evaluation."

    douchebag?

    Zhang Hao absolutely refused to admit that he was a villain and decisively rejected it.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao does not accept the evaluation of a villain who likes to bully talented rookies. According to the system's judgment, no one will believe that Zhang Hao does not like to bully talented rookies.

    Although he clearly had no such idea but encountered such misunderstanding, Zhang Hao needed to turn other people's opinions into facts.

    Task: Trigger the nightmares of rookies.  "

    ¡°A rookie¡¯s nightmare: When Zhang Hao plays against a rookie who won the Rookie of the Month award, different types of mission objectives will be triggered based on the opponent¡¯s situation.

    Task target: Sharif Rahim, the Rookie of the Month in December 1996.

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao blocks at least 2 shots on Sharif Rahim.

    Reward: 5 days of lifespan. For each additional block and steal, you will get an additional 2 days of lifespan.

    Goal 2: Limit Sharif Rahim¡¯s scoring in the three-second zone and close range scoring.

    Reward: Sharif-Rahim¡¯s three-second zone score (excluding free throws) and close-range score will be awarded 5 days of life for every 1 point lower than the average score in these areas.  (Sharif Rahim has averaged 11.8 points per game from close range and in the paint so far this season)

    Failure penalty: When Zhang Hao faces a task object and fails to complete the task, the next time he encounters an object that can trigger the task goal, the task object will enter the hyper mode and ignore the fear of the host, making it easier to encounter the host's defense.  Find the shooting touch until the host encounters the failed task object again and completes the task.  "

    "Damn! In other words, this mission will be triggered regardless of whether I accept it or not! The reward is pretty good Wait! Is there a time limit for this mission? It seems that it will not be interrupted if it is not completed Wait! If there is no time limit, next season  There is Duncan, damn! There will be Kobe in the future

    correct!  If I don¡¯t complete my task when I face Raheem today, and if I meet Marbury before I meet Raheem next time, and I don¡¯t complete my taskforget it, let¡¯s deal with the guy in front of me first, close range and three seconds.  District averaged 11.8 points per game

    Sharif Rahim, 20 years old, 206 cm, 102 kg, ability evaluation 84, offense 90, defense 77, 55 three-pointers, 81 mid-range shots, 93 layups, 86 speed, 85 strength, 79 bounce, 91 turn, jump  Step 86 played 34 times, averaging 17.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game

    wipe!  Insider skills are so good!  Wait, he averaged 4.5 free throws per game and averaged 17.9 points per game, which means the regular score is 13.4 points, of which 11.8 points per game are in the three-second zone and close range which means this guy's scoring is basically concentrated here.  area!  Thishas it!  "

    Zhang Hao immediately called Barkley to discuss the matter with his four starting teammates, George Lynch, Doug Christie, and Kenny Anderson.

    The mission goal this time must be completed, so many life rewards!  Not getting it is tantamount to self-inflicted harm!

    When talking about discussion, it means Zhang Hao said it, and his teammates listened.

    Hearing what Zhang Hao said, the teammates took a breath This!

    Be a human being!

    But, this is so fun!

    "Aix, you are so bad."

    The Grizzlies, 6 wins and 29 losses, couldn't even beat the Celtics, a team that took the initiative to mess up. Barkley wasn't interested at first, and his desire to show off after changing his hair style has recently faded.  , and started tinkering with helping his teammates do their hair. After hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s interesting tricks, Barkley decided to do it!

    "Mr. Buckley, thank you very much"

    Doug Christie and George Lynch have no say. If the two big guys want to play like this, they can only play along.

    No, Boss Kenny didn¡¯t refuse either

    ¡­¡­

    The game between the Lakers and Grizzlies is about to begin.

    The Grizzlies sent out a starting lineup of Greg Anthony, Anthony Peeler, Sharif Rahim, Aaron Williams, and Bryant Levis.

    Anthony Peeler was sent to the Grizzlies by the Suns at Christmas due to contract extension issues. With the help of Kidd and Kevin Johnson, Anthony Peeler averaged 1.5 points per game before being traded.  By 16.1 minutes, the contract extension could not be negotiated, and the trade was difficult to trade. Other teams were worried that after trading for Anthony Peeler, they would lose everything. When the Grizzlies were willing to extend the contract for 6 years and US$23 million,  After Anthony Pillar agreed, the Suns sent him to the Grizzlies.

    It is said that when Anthony Peeler signed and traded and extended his contract early to join the Grizzlies, an unnamed point forward in Chicago was so angry that he was furious.After picking up the ball, Zhang Hao immediately passed it to Kenny Anderson and then rushed forward!

    With an easy counterattack, he caught the ball and dunked. When Zhang Hao crossed the center line, no one was chasing him, and he was "riding alone" with full power.

    Falling behind 0-4 at the start is normal for the Grizzlies. It¡¯s not a big deal. After playing for more than two months, Rahim has accepted this situation.

    But he was double-teamed by George Lynch and Barkley at the beginning This made Raheem call the word starting with f.

    It¡¯s too obvious, the other party is targeting him!

    You wouldn¡¯t have expected such a situation before it happened. The opponent started with three players targeting him.

    But after it happened, Rahim was not surprised. Before the game, their Grizzlies coach had reminded him to be careful of being bullied by the opponent

    After a while, Greg Anthony advanced to the frontcourt and wanted to pass it to Rahim. Rahim gave up and went directly to singles, but pulled out to screen and roll for Greg Anthony.

    As a small forward, Raheem is very weak, but he has all the skills of a power forward!

    Rahim's pick-and-roll was very solid, forcing George Lynch to switch defenses, but Greg Anthony's pick-and-roll offense was also quite good. This is how he usually cooperates with Rahim. After borrowing the pick-and-roll, the 185-centimeter Greg Anthony  Pass George Lynch and rush inside!

    George Lynch did a pretty good job defensively. Although he failed to prevent Greg Anthony's pick-and-roll breakthrough, he kept chasing and guarded against Greg Anthony's emergency stop jumper. Greg Anthony rushed all the way to the basket and was completely in the shooting space.  With being covered, Greg Smith passed the ball from the gap to the left side of the three-second zone. Kenny's side barely caused any obstacle to Rahim. Rahim received the ball and flew over.  Want to buckle!

    With this ball, Zhang Hao turned around and had no time to take off. Seeing Rahim jumping up, Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat and he rushed forward to hug Rahim!  Pulled off!

    This action seemed very rough at first sight. The Grizzlies coach was so frightened that he stood up, and the referee quickly blew the whistle Then, Zhang Hao hugged Rahim when he pulled him down, and did not let him pull him.  Shim fell directly to the ground, but put the hugged Rahim on the floor

    Rahim was in shock and thought he was going to be overthrown. He had encountered such a situation once before when he played against the Heat. Fortunately, he was solid.

    Looking at Zhang Hao, who silently walked to the side of the three-second area to wait for the free throw rebound after the foul, it was obvious that this old friend was not going to hurt him at all, but simply did not want him to complete the dunk No,  I don¡¯t want him to score at all!

    Rahim went to the free throw line and made the first free throw, and made the second one.

    When the Lakers attacked, Kenny Anderson changed directions and broke through the free throw line and hit an emergency stop jumper.

    Rahim ran to the frontcourt with an uneasy mood. Before halftime, he saw Zhang Hao, who was quickly retreating from defense, pulling Barkley to discuss with George Lynch

    At this scene, Rahim felt like his mentality was going to explode!

    "It turns out that the legend is true, and Aix is ??a villain! He just likes to bully rookies!

    brother!  We are brothers who have played ball together and drank salt soda together!

    You can¡¯t do this to me!  "

    ¡­¡­

    This night, the Great Western Forum Arena was very lively.

    Originally, after beating the bottom team, the fans at the scene were completely unmotivated. When the game just started, they ate and chatted, and prepared to take a final look at the score and Zhang Hao's statistical performance.

    But as soon as the game started, something unexpected happened - the Lakers were sanctioning last month's Rookie of the Month!

    Rahim held the ball, was flanked, played without the ball, and encountered a shrinking defense. Zhang Hao, Barkley, George Lynch, Jason Williams, Jerome Corsi, and Ben Wallace came on the bench.  Waiting for others, giving Rahim no chance to make a successful move!

    As long as Rahim receives the ball, there will be at least two people in front of him, and usually one is blocking the road and the other is blocking the bottom!

    This is not over yet. In the entire first quarter, Rahim only made 3 successful shots, none of which were scored. Two of them were blocked and two steals. In addition, he got 6 free throw opportunities in a single quarter!

    Whenever Raheem has a scoring opportunity that cannot be defended, the Lakers will use rough fouls to stop it!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 253 253. Cross step change direction is finally introduced!

    Rahim played 29 minutes in the whole game. When he was physically strong in the first 10 minutes, he managed to get 4 of 6 free throws, but it was not that easy to get. From the first quarter, he made 0 of 3 shots and 2 turnovers.  It can be seen how hard Rahim worked to get a good shooting opportunity, but the Lakers were already prepared and fouled directly if they couldn't prevent it.

    Under such circumstances, the consumption cannot be ignored!

    In the next three quarters of 19 minutes, there were only 4 free throws in total, and 3 of 4 were made. Although there was a sports goal, it was still a three-pointer from the bottom corner

    Even in the garbage time of the fourth quarter, Ben Wallace, Jason Williams and others did not let Raheem go!

    ? 1 of 13 shots and 7 of 10 free throws. Rahim scored 10 points, 8 rebounds, 5 turnovers and 3 fouls.

    After playing for more than 3 minutes in the first half of the fourth quarter, Rahim was replaced.

    There was no surprise in the score. The Lakers led 70 to 58 in the third quarter by 12 points. When Rahim was replaced, the score was 78 to 64 and the Lakers led by 14 points.

    The point difference is not particularly big, but any team that wants to win will send its main players to fight at this time.

    But the Grizzlies coach doesn¡¯t want to win, and he doesn¡¯t even have the thought of letting the young core play.

    The second-year player opposite who just turned 20 is a devil!

    Rahim sat on the sidelines and pinched himself many times, trying to wake up from the nightmare.

    ¡°However, this is not a nightmare, but a nightmare reflected in reality¡­

    unacceptable!

    Rahim felt that the group of people opposite were simply too much!

    He is not Iverson. He has done nothing. He is low-key and humble. He didn¡¯t even smile when he looked at Barkley¡¯s appearance before the game

    Not to mention the Grizzlies players and coaches, the fans at the scene felt that Zhang Hao was really the fans didn't know how to describe Zhang Hao's bad taste.

    This is different from other superstars who like to bully young players, and others will bully them. Zhang Hao wants to play with young players until they collapse!

    However, my own team won and avoided a losing streak. Seeing this on the sideline made me feel a little sad for the visiting team's rookie, but watching the process was really interesting

    ¡­¡­

    The final score of the game between the Lakers and Grizzlies was 98 to 81. The Lakers easily won and their record improved to 28 wins and 7 losses.

    The final ratings of this game surprised Time Warner, which broadcast the game, and it was actually higher than another game between the Jazz and SuperSonics broadcast live by American cable TV!

    At the beginning, the paid viewing situation of the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies was average, that is, the paid viewing situation when the Lakers played against opponents who were not popular teams. It was not bad, but it was not bad. There were nearly 3 million paid reservations in advance. The price of the game was  For $1.99, the profit is quite good.

    But the nearly 500 paid reservations for the Jazz vs. SuperSonics game are far behind, and the game between the Jazz and the SuperSonics is priced at $2.99.

    After the game starts, there will definitely be an increase in the number of people paying. Not everyone watching the game will book in advance.

    Of course, generally speaking, popular games not only have a higher number of people scheduled to pay, but also have a greater increase after the game starts. There is usually a 20% increase in the number of paid viewings after the game starts.

    And tonight¡¯s situation is not an ordinary situation. After the game between the Lakers and Grizzlies started, the number of paid viewings more than doubled!

    ??In the end, the number of paid games for the Lakers and Grizzlies game was 7.22 million, and the game between the Jazz and SuperSonics was paid 6.91 million times!

    Time Warner did not expect this situation at all. A game between the second-placed player in the Western Conference and the last-placed player in the Western Conference would actually have higher ratings than a game between the first-placed player in the Western Conference and the third-placed player in the Western Conference!

    Moreover, there was no explosive personal performance. Zhang Hao only played 31 minutes in this game. He made 15 of 24 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He easily scored 36 points and 7 points.  With 1 assist, 3 blocks and 4 steals, the game was not too tense. Even if the Lakers' overall offense was average, they crushed it from start to finish.

    But the process Zhang Hao had 3 blocks and 4 steals, 2 of which were blocked by Rahim, and 3 steals were also given to Rahim!

    Such ratings mean that the popularity of this game is constantly rising, and the popularity after the game is even higher than the popular game between the Jazz and the SuperSonics!

    It¡¯s no secret that Zhang Hao loves to bully high-ranking rookies of the same class.

    But Zhang Hao seems to have never shown his bad taste in bullying rookies before.

    For example, when playing against the Timberwolves, Zhang Hao did not target Marbury, but still targeted Garnett. At the beginning of the season, he played against the Raptors.Under the empty sky, he scored 27 points, setting a new career high for scoring against the Lakers.

    But Zhang Hao played 44 minutes here, making 15 of 31 shots, almost 20 irons in a single game. Among the 15 goals, 4 three-pointers were made, plus 8 of 9 free throws, he scored 42 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals.  1 block helped the Lakers defeat the Warriors 103-95, improving their record to 30 wins and 7 losses.

    Less than half of the new season, Zhang Hao has already reached 7 40+ times in a single game!  He is only one short of his eight 40+ games in a single game last season!

    On January 14th, the Lakers faced back-to-back home games against the Washington Bullets.

    Ten days ago, at the league bosses¡¯ meeting on January 4, the Bullets¡¯ team name change proposal was unanimously approved. Next season, the Bullets¡¯ team name will be changed to wizards. The domestic translation of this team name that Zhang Hao saw was as follows:  As I remember it, translated as Wizards.

    The Washington Bullets came to Los Angeles to play a game for the last time. This team name left a very beautiful last memory in Los Angeles.

    Tonight, the Bullets players went wild. Rod Strickland scored 31 points and 9 assists. Chris Webber scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Juwan Howard scored 24 points. Three  Renhe scored 85 points, helping the Wizards to score 129 points in a single game!

    For the Lakers, Zhang Hao performed very well tonight. He scored 17 points in the first quarter and 36 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Kenny Anderson had 14 points, 11 assists, and Barkley also had 18 points, 13 rebounds, and 2 blocks.  Assists and 1 steal.

    But the Lakers only scored in double figures with these three players, and the Wizards had three players with at least 20 points and two shooters both with 10 points.

    ? 99-117, the Lakers lost miserably at home to the Wizards, who were in full form, suffering their eighth defeat of the season.

    ¡­¡­

    In the first 4 games of 6 consecutive games, we had a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, which is quite good.

    After playing back-to-back, the Lakers got two days of rest.

    On the second day of the game against the Wizards, the Lakers did not arrange training, and Zhang Hao continued his cross-step training.

    Finally, at 4 o¡¯clock in the afternoon, today¡¯s sixth group of one-hour crossover training ended, and all six groups of the first stage of training ended!

    ¡°Specially signed player Zhang Hao¡¯s change-of-direction dribble rating has been raised to 50¡­¡±

    Finally, Zhang¡¯s extraordinary change of direction reached a level that could be judged by the system as an ability value!

    The next day, Zhang Hao arrived at the Great Western Forum Arena early.

    Tomorrow the Lakers will face the Trail Blazers at home. The Trail Blazers came to Los Angeles the day before yesterday. The Trail Blazers are on a four-game road trip to California. Yesterday the Trail Blazers played the Clippers at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. They will play against them tomorrow.  The Lakers played against each other.

    Very unexpectedly, when Zhang Hao came to the training ground from the employee passage in the parking lot, he met a Trail Blazers player.

    I wanted to say hello, but looking at the other person¡¯s hairstylesomeone imitated my hairstyle!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 254 254. The Son of the Wind Arrives Again

    "AixAixAix"

    At 6:40 in the evening, when the Trail Blazers players entered the stadium, the fans at the scene chanted Zhang Hao's English name in unison.

    Because the third starting player of the Trail Blazers has a hairstyle that Lakers fans really want to see again - the hairstyle that Zhang Hao had when he played the Bulls!

    ??There are really not many NBA players who can manage such a hairstyle. Originally, the Lakers players thought that only Zhang Hao could manage a covered hairstyle, but they didn't expect that a rookie could do it too.

    Lakers fans have a strong impression of the 13th overall pick in the 1996 class.

    The Trail Blazers' exposure rate is really not that good. Their most exposed person is their quasi-new boss Paul Allen. This Microsoft boss, whose assets are worth more than the entire NBA's market value, wants to join the NBA. For  This is a great thing for the development of the entire basketball industry.

    In addition, the only thing that made the news for the Trail Blazers is that Rasheed Wallace has received 14 technical fouls in less than 40 games. This rate has already caught up with Barkley last season.  , and is far ahead of Karl Malone, who has the second highest number of technical fouls this season, with 9 times.

    That is to say, there is no such thing as a technical foul suspension yet, but with the speed of Rasheed Wallace's technical fouls, it will be sooner or later that the NBA is forced to modify the rules and introduce cumulative technical foul suspensions in the future.

    Apart from these two things, the Trail Blazers really haven¡¯t received much attention since the departure of Glider Drexler.

    Nash has been changing his hairstyle for so long, almost 20 days, and almost no one has talked about it.

    Now, Nash has come to Los Angeles, and the owner of this hairstyle has become the focus.

    So, everyone on the scene shouted "Aix".

    Zhang Hao, who was waiting in the player tunnel to appear, had a black line on his head.

    Just when Zhang Hao regretted using Nashka that time, the system prompt came

    "Someone imitated the hairstyle of Zhang Hao, a special contract player. Zhang Hao wants everyone to know that only he can deserve this hairstyle. Mission: Son of the Wind triggers."

    "The Son of the Wind:

    Prerequisite: Wearing the same hairstyle as Son of the Wind.

    Goal: Have more assists than Steve Nash in this game.

    Reward: Bronze Medal: Magical Terminator.  "

    "Magic Finisher (Bronze): When the player wearing it uses the same hand and foot movements for a layup at close range, the coordination ability is enhanced and the layup +1."

    When Zhang Hao saw the prerequisites for this task, he immediately wanted to refuse.

    ?????????????????????? However, this reward is a reward for his urgently needed expansion of finishing abilities!

    After playing professional basketball for so long, Zhang Hao has a clear breakdown of technology.

    The first one is pure basic skills, such as shooting, footwork, passing, ball control, etc.

    The second is the technique of initiating an attack. Techniques such as cross-step changes, turning and cutting through, etc. are all techniques of initiating an attack. He has not yet mastered all of these aspects that he has to practice now. If he comes up with new ones, like  If there is another training card like cross-step change, he will temporarily give up using it and wait until the offseason to use it again, spending more time improving his finishing ability.

    The third aspect of technology is the technology to end the attack.

    This is different from pure basic skills, which are the core supporting all technologies.

    The techniques to end the offense include emergency stop jumpers, turn-over jumpers, and Anfernee Hardaway's back-turning step-back jumper technique that he plans to practice after the cross-step training and so on.

    Basic skills, this Zhang Hao has been practicing, never slacking off, the technique of launching offense This is not so urgent. The team has Kenny Anderson, Magic, Brian Jr., O'Neal and Barkley.  The ability to launch an attack.

    Now, what he wants more is to further strengthen his finishing offensive ability.

    After hesitating for 3 seconds, Zhang Hao turned and walked towards the depths of the player tunnel

    ¡­¡­

    All the Trail Blazers players were on the field. The fans at the scene did not boo the Trail Blazers too much. Instead, they gave some cheers when Rasheed Wallace came on the field. This guy often provides assists to opponents, otherwise the Trail Blazers  The team's record this year may be better.

    It was the turn of the home team players to take the field, and the cheers from the fans were louder than the usual cheers for face. Everyone in the audience was shouting "Akers". The reason was naturally the 13th overall pick in the 1996 draft on the opposite side.  hairstyle.

    However, after DJ shouted Zhang Hao¡¯s name loudly, Zhang Hao did not run out.

    The cheers of the fans at the scene began to drop, and they began to wonder, and they were on the benchHe took his hand and then took a step up to block George Lynch.

    Rasheed Wallace received the ball and bypassed Sabonis, broke into the paint, went straight to the basket and hit Zhang Hao for a layup!

    This ball means Zhang Hao reacts quickly, otherwise he will be dunked!

    When the Lakers attacked, Kenny Anderson easily broke through and passed the ball to Doug Christie who got an open opportunity on the sideline. Unfortunately, Doug Christie failed to make a three-pointer.

    Sabonis made good use of his huge body to block the position, and Gary Trent, who shrank back, protected the rebound.

    In the transition between offense and defense, Nash and Rasheed Wallace continued to play the pick-and-roll. Nash immediately passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed Wallace was not catching the ball or shooting or breaking through, but was catching the ball.  The first time the ball arrived, it was passed to the right corner, a long pass from a long distance, and Isaiah Leder caught the ball from the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer!

    In these two rounds, Nash¡¯s golf intelligence, judgment ability, and execution abilitywere on full display!

    The key is that he is not greedy for credit. He seems to have a lot of assists, but the number of assists still cannot fully reflect his role on the offensive end. As long as he can help the team score, it doesn't matter whether he has assists or not. He is very happy to pass the ball.

    At the same time, we can also see that Rasheed Wallace has made great progress. Ever since the Trail Blazers discovered Nash's pick-and-roll ability with the ball, Rasheed Wallace, who has top athletic ability, can run and shoot, has taken the initiative.  Adjust the style of play to focus on pick-and-roll.

    Second-year Rasheed Wallace is already 22 years old. After playing in North Carolina for three years, he has a very solid offensive basic skills. After an unstable rookie season, he has already entered the game.  In the early 1990s, after the Trail Blazers established a pick-and-roll offense with him and Nash as the core, more than a month later, he has become a pretty good pick-and-roll power forward with solid basic skills, willingness to pick-and-roll, and the ability to play pick-and-roll.

    After Nash was blocked, the Trail Blazers scored two goals in a row to overtake the score!

    This makes the Trail Blazers players extremely excited!

    The Lakers had a bad start. The old fox on the sidelines had already predicted it. The Trail Blazers are a team capable of winning 50 games. And if you have to say it, even Sabonis is only a second-year player and full of momentum. In the middle of the season  The performance was even better than at the beginning of the season. The Lakers' current situation is not very good, and it is normal for them to be suppressed by the opponent.

    The objective conditions were there, and there was nothing he could do otherwise.

    Whatever you are afraid of will come to you. Just when Del Harris thought that the opponent might take advantage of these two goals, the opponent really started to gain momentum. In the next 4 rounds, Nash, who smoothed the team's offense, continued to  He got two assists and made a mid-range shot himself, helping the Trail Blazers score 3 goals in 4 rounds and score 7 points!

    The Lakers only scored 1 goal in 4 rounds, and they were frustrated by the Trail Blazers' active shrinking defense.

    When Nash hit the mid-range shot, the Lakers called a timeout. The score was already 6-12, and the Lakers were 6 points behind!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 255 255. He actually studied during the game!  (6K)

    The Trail Blazers started really well!

    Nash still only has solid basic skills, good organizational and offensive awareness, and is not mature enough. But with Rasheed Wallace, a power forward who is very suitable for him, and Sabonis' high-post support he has played a first-class organizational and offensive control.  Wei's performance!

    Such a point guard is a truly useful point guard for the Trail Blazers. Compared with November when Robert Parker led the team, the current Trail Blazers are significantly stronger.

    Del Harris made personnel adjustments after returning from the timeout, and the combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Barkley, and Jason Williams came on the court.

    The Trail Blazers also made a rotation. Nash, Rasheed Wallace, and Sabonis continued to play. The shooting guard was replaced by Aaron McGee, their starting shooting guard last season, and the small forward position was replaced by Aaron McGee.  Stacey Augmon.

    The defensive success rate in the opening stage surprised even Trail Blazers coach P.J. Carlesimo. If this is the case, then continue to strengthen the defense to make up for the two positions of Nash and Rasheed Wallace.

    p-j-Carlesimo¡¯s adjustment this time played a very important role, and the Lakers really started to attack.

    Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao, and Doug Christie, whoever encounters Nash's defense, will go solo. When Nash defends a player for several rounds in a row, and the player suffers some losses in singles for several rounds, the others will play singles.  If you don't meet Nash, you have to play Nash in isolation when looking for a pick-and-roll.

    With Sabonis protecting the rim and Aaron McGee and Stacey Ogemon defending in the mid- and short-range, without O'Neal, Barkley's two hard shots to the basket at the beginning of the game were not effective, so  The Lakers went all out on mid-range and long-range shots, allowing Barkley and Jason Williams to rush.

    In more than 7 minutes after the first quarter, the Lakers scored 18 points. Thanks to the timely adjustment of the Trail Blazers coach, otherwise Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, and Doug Christie could take off directly when Nash was called.

    However, the key point is that the Trail Blazers' own offense is playing well.

    After returning from that timeout, Nash continued to encounter Zhang Hao's defense. He was not greedy for credit. It was difficult to shoot and hit the basket. He gave the ball to Sabonis early and Sabonis organized the offense.

    Although the Trail Blazers didn¡¯t play as aggressively in the next 7 minutes or so as in the first 4 minutes, they still scored 16 points.

    After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 4 points 28 to 24 entering the intersection break.

    ¡­¡­

    With 4 points and 3 assists, Nash played very well in the first quarter tonight, playing a very good role in space containment, and the offense he launched in the opening stage was also very strong.

    Zhang Hao looked at his statistics of 8 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block. His score was very high, the highest in the first quarter, 1 point more than Rasheed Wallace's 7 points.

    But assists

    It¡¯s better to think about how to win the game first. Thanks to the old fox¡¯s adjustment in the second half of the first quarter, otherwise, with the Trail Blazers¡¯ excellent mid-season form, the Lakers might have been widened in the first quarter.

    At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Hao was not sent on.

    The point difference has not been widened, it has stabilized, and Del Harris is not so anxious. There are many situations in the game that cannot be handled. It requires patience, and it is only the first quarter.

    The Lakers sent a combination of James Robinson, Brian Shaw, George Lynch, Magic, and Jason Williams to start the second quarter.

    The Trail Blazers sent out Robert Parker, rookie Marcus Brown who averaged 1.1 three-pointers per game and shot 39% from three-point range, Isaiah Leder, Gary Trent, Chris  -Dudley's combo.

    Zhang Hao has an impression of the Trail Blazers' substitution. He saw it in the scouting report and was called "the strongest outside shooter."

    Marcus Brown¡¯s open three-pointers were accurate, and Robert Parker and Isaiah Leder both prioritized singles in scoring.

    Originally, this singles combination was the starting combination for the Trail Blazers at the beginning of the season, but now it has been put into the rotation It¡¯s really amazing!

    Brian Shaw and George Lynch are both excellent in single defense, but they were beaten miserably against these two people. They played singles one after another and couldn't guard them at all.

    However, the offensive combination of Magic and Brian Shaw also performed quite well. James Robinson's three-pointers, George Lynch's cutting, and Jason Williams' rushing and pick-and-roll abilities were under their command.  Played very well.

    Patience plays a very good role. Even if Zhang Hao continues to play hard at this time, he may not really be able to lead the score. Holding on to the score at this stage is a very good choice for the Lakers.

    During the rotation period, the two teams also made minor personnel adjustments. The LakersDe Wallace regretted it. He just didn't have the desire to defend, not that he didn't have the awareness to defend. He knew he had been cheated!

    After Zhang Hao raised the ball, he immediately took off the moment Rasheed Wallace pulled away, raised the ball and shot a straight-arm jump shot

    This shooting posture is not that customary, but the distance from the free throw line is pretty good. Zhang Hao tried to imitate Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm jump shot and made it!

    This time he was ready to shoot after receiving the ball. If he didn't score, he would let Barkley rush for the ball. His straight-arm jump shot is still very different from Rasheed Wallace. If Rasheed Wallace  Rice didn't move away. He couldn't lift the ball and shoot with his shoulder and wrist like Rasheed Wallace. He still shot with his bent arm.

    However, entering the game means that the style of play he wants has been continued!

    This time, it was Zhang who entered the state!

 Chapter 256 256. You are very suitable for this hairstyle (6K)

    Relying on Nash to score 7 points in the last few minutes of the second quarter, Rasheed Wallace hit a tip-in, and Aaron McGee made a counterattack dunk At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers led 57 to 57.  55, maintaining a slight lead into the halftime break with many dangers.

    ? 13 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. Zhang Hao played more than 17 minutes in the half and performed very well, especially in the second half of the second quarter when he scored 5 points, 5 assists and 1 block in more than 5 minutes. It was a blast!  It helped the Lakers score 18-15 in more than 5 minutes, and helped the Lakers score 31-29 in the second quarter, narrowing the two-point difference.

    But, precisely because of this, the Trail Blazers are even more excited.

    Zhang Hao has played like that, and the Trail Blazers continue to maintain their lead!

    Moreover, they only had Nash in the second half of the second quarter. Nash's teammates trust Nash's physical strength. If Nash is not usually strong enough when he needs to attack and score from the outside, his physical strength can fully play for 40 minutes or even longer.  .

    Rasheed Wallace, Sabonis, and other scorers didn't exert much effort in the second half of the second quarter. Doug Christie on the Lakers couldn't guard Nash, and no one else made any defense.  There were very few people involved in the offense. It seemed that in the second half of the second quarter, it was like Nash singled out the Lakers' entire defense. Others could recharge their batteries. How could they not be excited?

    Nash is very happy now. On the way back to the locker room after the first half, he felt like he was feeling windy when he walked

    The halftime break ended quickly, and the two teams returned to the court after making adjustments.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Fisher, Brian Shaw, Zhang Hao, Magic, and Jerome Corsi.

    The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Nash, Aaron McGee, Stacey Augmon, Rasheed Wallace, and Chris Dudley.

    Originally, Nash couldn't play for that long because his singles ability was still not enough. When he needed outside singles, he would be very weak in the main attack, so Robert Pike needed to play.

    But Nash performed so well in singles tonight and was continued to be substituted.

    At the beginning of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead. The Trail Blazers coach originally planned to let the players resume pick-and-roll cooperation in the third quarter. Nash's scoring threat tonight should have been big enough, but the Lakers used Brian Shaw to  Guard Nash, not the faster, more powerful rookie Fisher.

    Nash tried a single, and after hitting a turnaround jumper from the baseline, he decisively chose to do it himself.

    They all score. When he encounters Doug Christie and Brian Shaw, two opponents who are average defenders of speed players, he can score more easily in isolation than in organizing offense, and his physical strength can sustain it.  Livewho doesn't like to score points?  After hitting the first attack in the third quarter, Nash's personal score has increased to 20 points!  It was the second time in his rookie season that he scored more than 20 points in a single game, and there was still half a game left. He wanted to score higher. If he scored more than Zhang Hao tonight He couldn't help but get more and more excited thinking about it!

    When the Lakers attack, Fisher advances to the frontcourt, ends the ball control task of this offense, passes the ball to the running Jerome Corsi, who covers Zhang Hao on the left side of the free throw line, and then moves towards the inside  Cut in.

    Nash and Rasheed Wallace, who were chasing after the defense, flanked Zhang Hao who received the ball. Zhang Hao jumped up to score the ball again. Fisher cut in to the ball and hit Chris Dudley for a layup!

    The 22-year-old rookie Fisher is really strong and fast. He is 185 centimeters tall, 90 kilograms in weight, and has a speed of 91. He has very good running and jumping abilities. He dares to take action when he is needed, and he will not let go because of previous mistakes.  Discouraged and able to withstand pressure.

    The two teams continued the same style of play in the last half of the first half at the beginning of the third quarter. Nash was still the main scorer for the Trail Blazers, and the best opportunity was him. The opponent did not double-team him as a rookie, so he did not need to think about it.  No matter how you pass the ball, you just need to work hard to throw the ball in.

    The Lakers continue to play Zhang Hao¡¯s game of receiving and supporting + single shooting.

    This looks very much like Zhang Hao wants to compete with Nash, wants to challenge Nash in a duel!

    The situation seemed to be like this. Anyway, Nash had such an idea, and the fans at the scene also had such an idea. Seeing Zhang Hao and Nash wearing the same hairstyle, one ball and one ball against each other, in the second half of the first half  The game was okay. As soon as the third quarter started, the fans at the scene started cheering excitedly!

    Some people booed Nash, a rookie, and some booed and shouted "x" after he scored. This made Nash very excited. All the doubts he had had were put aside. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity tonight to have a good relationship with Nash.  When Zhang Hao confronts Biao once, it's best to overpower Zhang Hao!  Such an opportunity is so rare!

    The game was not as expected by the Trail Blazers.??Shave your hair and sharpen your will!

    But at this time, the man in front of him took off his wig, revealed his original hair, and said: "You are very suitable for this hairstyle. You played well tonight. I played very happily, but it is not enough. You have to be better."  Just a little bit, make me a little happier next time, just a little bit, you just a little bit better than me."

    Just like the last time they played against each other, Zhang Hao mocked him again after the game.

    It was still the same as last time, Zhang Hao¡¯s tone was flat when he spoke, and there was no change in the speed of his speech.

    But the feeling for Nash is very different.

    It¡¯s true that the other party was mocking him, but Nash, who needed comfort and encouragement at this moment, selectively focused on listening to Zhang Hao¡¯s previous words

    Looking at the back of Zhang Hao who turned and walked towards the tunnel after finishing speaking Nash suddenly felt that this NBA senior had a very vicious mouth and was never unkind when playing games, but he was not as bad as he thought before

    Thinking about it carefully, people just like to tell the truth

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 257 257. Different Kinds of Gentlemen

    ¡°Magic Finisher (Bronze): When the player wearing it uses the same hands and feet to lay up at close range, the coordination ability is enhanced"

    January 17th, the Pistons, the last opponent to play consecutive home games tomorrow, rested all morning and conducted two hours of preparation training from 2 to 3:30 in the afternoon.

    After the training, Zhang Hao stayed and tried to practice the same hand and same foot layup that Nash showed off in the game.

    In fact, when he was resting at home in the morning, Zhang Hao went to practice.

    This medal has a very prominent effect when used. It does not require any prerequisites. As long as you perform a layup with the same hands and feet, it will have a bonus effect and your coordination ability will become stronger.

    but!  The improvement of coordination ability is due to the improvement of coordination ability. This action is really awkward and completely goes against his layup habit.

    He feels that from a certain perspective, this even violates the movement mechanism of the human body.

    If you really want to use it in the competition, it¡¯s very difficult!

    And you can¡¯t practice blindly, as it can easily affect the original layup rhythm.

    It doesn¡¯t mean that the body can accept it and the brain can react.

    "I thought I got a medal that I could use as soon as I got the strongest first step"

    Zhang Hao thought about whether he would occasionally get props that might look powerful but are actually useless. It seems that this is just useless at the moment.

    ¡­¡­

    After a day of rest, on January 18th, the Lakers¡¯ last consecutive home game day arrived. After this game, the Lakers will start a wave of 4 consecutive away games.

    The Pistons came to Los Angeles yesterday and were also preparing for the game at the Great Western Forum in the afternoon.

    The relationship between Zhang Hao and Grant Hill is not bad, and they can talk when they sit together. However, Zhang Hao did not go to Grant Hill, and Grant Hill did not come to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao only received the high school coach at noon today.  Scott Collins went to his house for lunch.

    Zhang Hao did not take the initiative to find this young superstar whom he admired very much. It was not because he was really indifferent. When people like Van Exel, Curry and others came to play in Los Angeles, he took the initiative to find him.

    ?Mainly getting along with Grant Hill, Zhang Hao feels that making friends with him is the same as his personality, a gentleman's friendship.

    ¡°When we meet, we greet each other. If we don¡¯t meet, we don¡¯t go out of our way to please others. This is Grant Hill¡¯s way of making friends.

    Zhang Hao arrived at the arena in the morning. Before the pre-match meeting, he accepted brief interviews with three TV stations. The sports channels of the Imperial TV Station, the American Cable TV Station, and the British Broadcasting Corporation, three important TV stations in Asia, Europe and the United States, will broadcast live tonight.  Contest.

    Among the rookies from 1994 to 1996, the most suitable one to compare with Zhang Hao is Grant Hill.

    Grant Hill is so good. Last season, he was the only player in the league who averaged 20+5+5 per game. He has continued this performance this year. If the Bulls hadn't played more stably this year, Pippen could play every game.  He scored 20+ points steadily and averaged 20+5+5 per game for the fourth time in his career. Grant Hill will be the only one in the league.

    The key is that Grant Hill led the team better than Pippen. Pippen averaged 20+5+5 in the first three seasons of his career. Once he won the championship with Jordan, the remaining two were both during the two seasons when Jordan retired.  In the 1994-95 season, Pippen led the team. Although the lineup of role players was much better than the Pistons this season, the record was only 47 wins. His strength proved that he was alone but not capable.

    And Grant Hill, when the Pistons lost Alan Houston, led the team to rise against the trend. The Pistons' current record is 27 wins and 13 losses. The current situation seems that the Pistons will definitely get their own rights this season.  50+ wins for the first time since the Bad Boys era.

    ¡­¡­

    After a day of preparations, at 6:40 in the evening, the two teams entered the Great Western Forum Arena.

    When he came on the court, Zhang Hao noticed the resentful looks in the eyes of Brian Shaw and Byron Scott, the two future NBA head coaches.

    The two of them went to many designers and customized many hairstyles, but they were not satisfied. When they approached Zhang, he reluctantly agreed, but he still hasn¡¯t given an idea yet.

    Regardless of this, after the players from the two teams entered the stadium, the starting list was shown on the big screen.

    The fans at the scene were very sorry to see that O'Neal still failed to come back in the last home game in a row.

    The results of the second round of All-Star Weekend voting were announced at noon today.

    Zhang Hao is undoubtedly ranked first among the Western Conference forwards with 1.53 million votes. Counting yesterday and today after the second voting node, there are still two weeks for the results to be released. There is a high probability that Zhang Hao can surpass the number he created last season.  The highest number of votes in history.

    But his vote count is not the best this year??I feel a headache when I meet them.

    Zhang Hao feels a headache now relying on Grant Hill. He turns around and cuts directly in. It is not difficult. The strongest first step plus Malone's elbow will not be a problem, but Ratliff inside

    Zhang Hao still chose to turn around and break through directly. When he got to the free throw line, he stopped and shot a jump shot

    Missed!

    Edith Thorpe grabbed the rebound before Barkley, and Zhang Hao immediately retreated. At this moment, he wanted to give up the advanced goal of the "Mr. Bad" mission.

    After Lynch-Hunt advanced to the frontcourt, George Lynch was ready to prevent Grant Hill from catching the ball in singles, but Grant Hill suddenly turned around and cut inside. Lynch-Hunter hurriedly chased after him, but still failed.  Can stop Grant Hill from catching the ball.

    Grant Hill cut inside to avoid Zhang Hao's defense and hit the basket!

    With this style of play, Zhang Hao called me "Œm".

    In the past, he was the one who imitated his opponents. Their opponents had longer playing experience, more game experience, and more ways to initiate and end attacks Unexpectedly, it was his turn to be imitated by others today!

    There were people who imitated his hair before, and now there are also people imitating his cuts!

    The key is that Grant Hill is really good at learning, he has the height, strength and speed advantages he is even better at the details of inside offense than him!

    When it came to the Lakers' offense, they clearly felt that the Pistons had improved significantly compared to the previous matchup at the beginning of the season, and the defensive end had made huge progress.

    The Pistons' record is still solid by the middle of the season. They have not fallen behind in the competition with the Knicks, Hawks, and Heat for second place in the Eastern Conference. This is due to their excellent defense.

    Kenny Anderson was made uncomfortable by Lynch Hunter. Zhang Hao finally relied on the opponent's defense to cut off the passing line and came to the free throw line to receive the ball. He was immediately stuck by Grant Hill, and the three-point line  After shortening, the current area inside the three-point line, the Pistons, a team with excellent mobility of players in all five positions and above-average defense, will become increasingly difficult to play without the ball!

    Zhang Hao made a sudden step at the free throw line, but was unable to get rid of the defense. He went to the basket and was pressed against him with all his strength. Facing Ratliff, who was second in the league in shot-blocking efficiency, he was looking for a block. He could only face Grant Hill's defense and force it.  CIC shot

    Missed!

    Just when Ratliff was about to collect the defensive rebound, a meatball with a bullet on his head flew into the paint and pushed the ball into the basket through Ratliff!

    "Sure enough, it is me, Sir Barkley, who saves the team!"

 Chapter 258 258. Finding the right way is important (6K)

    The Pistons have made a lot of preparations for this game.

    Although the competition among the new generation of superstars is a personal competition between Grant Hill and Zhang Hao, the Pistons management and coaching staff must create better conditions for Grant Hill to compete with Zhang Hao.

    They must seize the opportunity of O'Neal's absence to help Grant Hill defeat Zhang Hao once.

    From the time Zhang Hao was in the Nets to joining the Lakers, Grant Hill had played against Zhang Hao 4 times and never won once. This was too much competitive pressure for Grant Hill.

    And Grant Hill is the face of the Pistons!

    The focus of the Pistons' defense tonight is to guard Zhang Hao. As long as Zhang Hao can be restricted from scoring, judging from most of the Lakers' past 39 games, it will definitely have a huge impact on the Lakers' offense.

    The overall defense of the Pistons is very good. It is true that without Alan Houston, they lost a scorer who averaged 20 points per game on the offensive end, which affected their complete promotion to the top team. But without Alan Houston  -Houston's defensive end is holding them back. Their defense is among the top five in the league. They currently only allow 89 points per game. When they mainly defend Zhang Hao, they can also greatly interfere with the rest of the Lakers.

    However, the Collins brothers also had one thing to worry about before the game - Barkley!

    That Christmas game allowed Barkley to get rid of the evaluation of "cliff decline". Barkley's evaluation became "reserving energy for the playoffs."

    " Tactics, to a certain extent, are equivalent to gambling. Just like flanking the main scorer and emptying the unstable secondary shooters, the same is true for strategy.

    The regular season is not like the playoffs. The probability of upset in the regular season is high. The Bulls lost to the Raptors, the third-last team in the Eastern Conference this year. One of the important factors is that they did not lose one or two games or even three games in the playoffs.  In the end, there is still a chance of trial and error to win the series. Strategy and tactics are all one-time gambles.

    In order to better restrain Zhang Hao, the Pistons bet that Barkley would not play so hard.

    The bet turned out to be a failure!

    On this basis, the Pistons would not be able to defeat the Pistons as long as Barkley takes the initiative on the offensive end.  Can't help it!

    The Pistons started off very well offensively and defended those they wanted to defend very well. However, halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers relied on Barkley's 6 points and the threat he brought to score 12 points in the half.  It was a neck-and-neck fight with the Pistons.

    With Grant Hill turning around and hitting a throw from close range, the Pistons led 13 to 12. At 6 minutes and 41 seconds of the first quarter, the Lakers called a timeout.

    Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson did a good job in adjusting. After Barkley scored two goals in the opening game, they actively took advantage of the threat brought by Barkley and changed the team's style of play in a timely manner.

    But it wasn¡¯t used that well. During the timeout, Del Harris made more targeted adjustments to Barkley¡¯s performance tonight.

    The Lakers replaced George Lynch with Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao moved to the small forward position.

    The Pistons replaced Eddie Thorpe with Terry Mills to enhance their shooting ability.

    The Collins brothers of the Pistons had no choice. They successfully used quick retreats to reduce the number of shots without suppressing speed or rhythm. This is the defense they are good at.

    But it has not reduced the Lakers' offensive success rate. If this is the case, then sacrifice part of the effective defense and enhance the offense.

    In the final analysis, there is still no way to defend the Lakers!

    This is something that almost all teams in the NBA currently have no solution for. Unless the Lakers themselves have extremely poor outside shooting and only need to shrink and keep an eye on Zhang Hao, who has always been stable and outstanding, otherwise they have to follow the Lakers' rhythm and attack.  .

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, Kenny Anderson received the serve, advanced to the frontcourt, and passed it to Zhang Hao who was asking for the ball outside the three-point line.

    Grant Hill stood ready, sticking to Zhang Hao who was leaning against him outside the three-point line.

    Zhang Hao raised his elbow, blocked Grant Hill, turned left and broke through!

    Grant Hill was well prepared. He had experienced Zhang Hao's tyrannical upper body strength many times. He quickly withdrew and used his faster explosive speed to block in time and stick to Zhang Hao's breakthrough.

    Zhang Hao suddenly pulled the ball back, and Grant Hill rushed forward to prevent Zhang Hao from retreating for a three-pointer.

    However, after Zhang Hao took a step back, he dribbled the ball behind his back, avoiding Grant Hill who was rushing towards him, and the "King of Cross Steps" was triggered!  The speed soared to 92, and started at the fastest speed, heading straight to the inside line!

    Terry Mills is really a geniusThe first is that he is very guarded in this regard, and his success rate in shooting and passing is not high. Fortunately, these two points are made up for by team offense. The excellent rotation arrangement of the Collins brothers gave him a good  of assistance.

    But relying on rotation to offset Barkley's surge, another unexpected situation they could not solve. The core reason was Zhang Hao's organized offense tonight, which helped Kenny Anderson and Fisher score 20 points!

    Now the situation is at a stalemate, both teams can only bite the bullet and continue to fight, no one dares to make adjustments first.

    At the beginning of the third quarter, Addis Thorpe missed a mid-range shot and Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound.

    Looking back, Zhang Hao received a pass from Kenny Anderson with a high back, then turned and broke through to the three-second zone with a jump step to attract the defense, and passed to George Lynch who cut from the baseline, and George Lynch made a layup.

    With 55 draws, Zhang Hao¡¯s data also improved to 4 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, a near double-double!

 Chapter 259 259. This is my horse!  (6K)

    The head coaches of the two teams did not adjust their playing styles. Although the players were under great pressure, they played very well.

    Both Zhang Hao and Grant Hill have entered the state.

    Zhang Hao is used to the rhythm of this game. He gets an assist as soon as he passes the ball, which is very satisfying. He occasionally supports the team's offense based on his excellent judgment of the movement of his teammates and the movement of his opponents. It is even better when his teammates make a basket.

    Grant Hill's playing style is completely different from Zhang Hao's. He mainly focuses on instigating the team's offense. He doesn't care whether direct passes are assisted or not. He also needs to make strong shots when necessary or seize the fleeting opportunity.  , throw the ball in.

    The two are good friends in private, but on the court, both Zhang Hao and Grant Hill regard each other as their biggest competitors, because they were players who entered the NBA at the same time, only one year apart.

    In contrast, Zhang Hao still has a more obvious advantage in terms of teammates. He has two All-star teammates in Kenny Anderson and Barkley. The other teammates are a bit weaker, and most of them are functional teammates, and Grant-  Hill's role player teammates are better but they don't have All-Star teammates. Joe Dumars is barely close to the All-Star level. Zhang Hao definitely has the advantage.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s fair or unfair. Jordan also has Pippen and Rodman beside him. Zhang Hao has never denied that he has played so well since entering the NBA largely because of his teammates.

    Both of them devoted themselves to the duel with each other. Zhang Hao had to face Jerome Williams' mad-dog single defense and Grant Hill's assist defense. Grant Hill had to face Zhang Hao's outside shooting.  Interference and mid- and short-range flanking defense, both of them need to connect the team's offense well in this kind of defense.

    When organizing an offense, Grant Hill has a better ability to find his teammates, but Zhang Hao has Barkley and Kenny Anderson and has a higher success rate.

    The situation remained tense until the end of the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Pistons by 1 point, 81-80, and beat the Pistons 28-25 in a single quarter.

    However, at critical moments, personal ability is more important, and at critical moments, the personal abilities of outside stars are often more effective than the personal abilities of inside stars.

    From the beginning of the second quarter, Grant Hill focused on guarding Zhang Hao. In terms of physical distribution, he was more experienced than before. He attacked with all his strength at the beginning of the fourth quarter and led the team to a 13-5 victory.  Three minutes into the fourth quarter helped the Pistons overtake the Lakers 93-86 and lead the Lakers by 5 points!

    Kenny Anderson missed Joe Dumars' pull-up jump shot again in isolation. The Pistons advanced steadily and played a three-pointer. Joe Dumars, who had just made a contribution on the defensive end, caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.  ¡­

    It looked like they could hit a climax to widen the point difference as soon as the fourth quarter started, but unfortunately, Joe Dumars didn't make the shot.

    Just when Del Harris was ready to protect his team's rebound and immediately call a timeout to replace Barkley in advance, a figure rushed forward like lightning, Grant Hill, Jerome Williams,  Joe Dumas and the three of them chased hardthe distance was getting wider and wider!

    Magic grabbed the defensive rebound and passed a long pass to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao "rided alone" and triggered at full power. He chewed his collar at the beginning of the fourth quarter and then returned to the physical strength he had just returned from the halftime break. At this time, it finally worked. Come on,  The counterattack smash after receiving the ball scored two points!

    Grant Hill tried his best to widen the point difference at the beginning of the fourth quarter before Barkley was replaced. He finally created a 7-point lead. Zhang Hao narrowed the point difference to 10 points with a counterattack dunk.  5 points.

    The key is that Grant Hill needs to slow down at this time. In the first three minutes of the game, the Lakers only scored 6 points, no free throws and three-pointers, and 3 of 7 shots. In fact, it is not very bad, mainly because  Grant Hill showed off his power. The Pistons scored in six consecutive offensive rounds at the beginning of the fourth quarter. They scored 13 points and went 13-7. And this was Grant Hill who worked hard to lead the team.  After coming out, 8 of the 13 points were scored by him alone.

    But when Grant Hill's physical strength declined due to the fierce attack, Zhang Hao was still full of energy, and he felt even faster than at the end of the previous quarter!

    This situation has happened again!  This is not the first time Grant Hill has encountered this situation!

    In fact, the Pistons have been on guard from the beginning. They cannot be beaten by the Lakers, otherwise they will be dragged down by the Lakers and overwhelmed by Zhang Hao in the end. They have made a lot of preparations and want to gain an advantage in regular time.

    But tonight Zhang Hao has 8 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, Barkley has 27 points and 9 rebounds, and Kenny Anderson has 22 points. With the role players suffering a loss, the Lakers managed to hold on to the score.  Now, it's Zhang Hao's time again!

    Immediately afterwards, Grant Hill again?You asked me why I didn¡¯t pass the ball when I had a chance to get an assist at the last moment?  I just felt like it was time for me to shoot.  "

    Someone next to him tried to push away the Detroit reporter, but the Detroit reporter resisted and continued to ask: "You wagged your finger at Hill at the last moment of the game, which obviously affected the opponent's calmness, but  The referee didn't call you a technical foul, do you think you took advantage of playing at home?"

    Zhang Hao looked down at the reporter and rarely smiled during the interview.

    This made the surrounding reporters confused. However, other reporters did not complain about the Detroit reporter's unruly behavior at this time. Even the media that favored the Lakers wanted to hear how Zhang Hao answered this question.

    Zhang Hao stretched out his hand, pointed at the floor and said, "Of course, this is my horse!"

 Chapter 260 260. The old fox who has no feelings (6K)

    At the basketball fan club near Richards Middle School in Oak Lawn County, Illinois, the Wade brothers came to watch the game again in the evening.

    Club staff and guests are used to it.

    The younger brother of the Wade brothers, Michael Daniel Wade, is a talented player and star player in the junior high school of Richards Middle School. At only 11 years old, he can play with adult players on the field, while the older brother, Dwyane, is very young.  Mediocre, already in high school,

    Both brothers are Bulls fans. The younger brother, Mike Daniel, has a lively personality, while the older brother, Dwyane, is dull and dull. When the Pistons lost, the elder brother was not very happy. Zhang Hao is the archenemy of their favorite team, the Bulls.  , and so do the Lakers.

    My younger brother was very excited when he saw the Pistons losing. When he was three or four years old, he often heard his father cursing the Pistons while watching live broadcasts. Even now that the Bad Boys have become history, he still hates the Pistons.

    But my brother thinks more and is a standard spiritual shareholder. He feels that the Bulls are in danger if the Lakers become stronger.

    This is largely due to the difference in talent. My younger brother, Michael Daniel, has been a street genius since elementary school, while my older brother is very mediocre. In the first year of high school, although he joined the school team, they were both sparring partners, mainly 15-year-olds.  Years old, he is only one inch taller than his 11-year-old brother

    Looking at Zhang Hao who scored a big triple-double, Dwyane was very anxious, but when he saw Zhang Hao¡¯s final post-game interview, for some reason, Dwyane felt so handsome!  He also wants to be that kind of man who can say that kind of thing!

    "I heard that Zhang has grown a lot since entering the NBA. I'm only 15 years old, so I should have a chance, right? Should I join the volleyball team and train with them?"

    ¡­¡­

    ??Exciting games always appear when stars face off, contemporaries play against each other, and mortal enemies meet, because when playing against other opponents, there may be relaxation, contempt, and impatience.

    But when competitors meet, both sides often analyze their opponents carefully in terms of preparation, patiently and meticulously adjust their state in preparation, and go all out in the competition without sparing any effort

    Like 15-year-old Dwyane Wade, fans who watched the live broadcast of the Lakers and Pistons game were shocked by Zhang Hao's performance.

    ? Some are because of the post-game interviews, and some are because of the game itself.

    In the first three quarters of the game, no one felt that Zhang Hao's performance was bad. Although it was not as impressive as Grant Hill leading the team alone, it also showed Zhang Hao's special features - the use of his strong skills and his own  The use of shooting threats, the use of teammates' strengths, excellent golf intelligence and so on.

    However, it can also be seen that when Zhang Hao devotes himself to rebounding, defense and passing the ball, he does not care about scoring.

    Zhang Hao only scored 6 points in the first three quarters, but his rebounds and assists were almost in double figures.

    This is not bad, but it allows people to see more possibilities of Zhang Hao. The word talent is written directly on the TV screen.

    But in the end, Zhang Hao¡¯s fierce attack scored 20 points in the last 9 minutes and 58 seconds of the game. Although Zhang Hao had almost no assists during that period, it was still amazing!

    This change in the rhythm of play, this physical strength, this ability to seize opportunities The most impressive thing is Zhang Hao's ability to utilize his own strengths!

    At this time, people discovered that compared to those players with comprehensive skills, at critical moments, players like Zhang Hao who have obvious shortcomings but extremely outstanding advantages will be more effective!

    The triple-double of 26+17+13 is simply exaggerated. Before the start of the fourth quarter, the fans thought that Zhang Hao could barely score in double figures and get a triple-double, but he got such a ruthless triple-double.

    However, no one thinks that Grant Hill is not good. A player with comprehensive skills and proficient in most of them can really lead a team under normal circumstances.

    Comparing Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s ability to lead the team alone, Grant Hill is obviously better!

    Zhang Hao and Grant Hill are two gentleman players. Compared with other new generation players fans feel that these two are so dazzling that almost no other new generation players can compare with these two.  , is the future!

    The future visible to the naked eye!

    There is also "grudges". The media likes to hype grudges, and fans like to watch grudges between stars.

    The scene of Zhang Hao wagging his finger after blocking Grant Hill and completing the counterattack to lead the score has become the most impressive scene for fans who watched the game live.

    After the game, the scenes about the duel between Zhang Hao and Grant Hill, about Zhang Hao¡¯s 20 points in the final quarter, about Zhang Hao¡¯s big triple-double, and the finger-wagging scenes all went viral!

    &nbspI was about to curse on the spot, but thinking that I was number one, I gave it up and endured it.

    The webpage of the American cable TV station is quite rich in content and has more pictures.

    The web page that opens is the "List of NBA's Most Popular Players."

    First of all, among players aged 30 and above, Magic is the most popular among league players.

    Zhang Hao thinks this is normal. Many players in the league grew up watching Magic play. He got 244 votes, far ahead of the second place Olajuwon who got 45 votes. The third place is Jordan.  29 votes, fourth was Barkley with 27 votes, and fifth was David Robinson with 13 votes. The latter all received single-digit votes. It is worth mentioning that Malone only received 1 vote.

    In this situation, Zhang Hao immediately analyzed that the magician alone accounted for too many votes.

    As for Jordan¡¯s low votesmany of Jordan¡¯s competitors are still in the NBA, which is normal. Moreover, Jordan¡¯s record and personal performance in the past two years have attracted too much hatred.

    Players aged 25 to under 30 are very average. Larry Johnson ranked first with 75 votes, Alonzo Mourning ranked second with 72 votes, and Anfernee Hardaway ranked third with 67 votes.  Third, Glenn Rice, who got 61 votes, was fourth Zhang Hao was surprised by this ranking.

    For players under 25 years old, O'Neal ranked first with 102 votes. The advantage is not big, but it is still larger than Juwan Howard's lead among players under 25 to 30 years old. Juwan Howard ranked second with 81 votes.

    Third, it was Zhang who got 79 votes!

 Chapter 261 261. Being chased for points is not scary (6k)

    He said Zhang got nearly 80 votes, but Grant Hill, who he thought could get a high number of votes, only had 11 votes

    It¡¯s surprising, it¡¯s really surprising!

    Zhang Hao closed the web page and opened the forum. While they were still training in the afternoon, the news and official website of the American Cable Sports Channel had already announced the list. The media and fans were surprised.

    O¡¯Neill is very proud now. He doesn¡¯t care if his computer is occupied. Even if Zhang Hao wants this computer, he can give it to Zhang Hao.

    Seeing that Zhang Hao was still tinkering with the computer, O'Neal took his friends out for a walk and came to Seattle. Of course, he had to go and have fun.

    The magician saw Zhang Hao's confusion, smiled and said nothing, and went back to his room to prepare for bed early. He had to go to church to pray tomorrow morning.

    For players like Grant Hill, Magic feels that if he and Grant Hill were teammates, it might not be easy, but there would be a lot of pressure.

    Grant Hill is so perfect. He has a good family background, a good tutor, a good personality, a great player, and no negative news Everything is so perfect.

    Such a person may not hate him, and it is difficult for people to feel close to him.

    But Zhang Hao and O'Neal are different. Although they are both geniuses and not inferior to Grant Hill, they have many shortcomings, but they are not unbearable shortcomings.

    Even Zhang Hao has been playing for more than a year, and he has a number of teammates who come and go around him. His teammates also have friends in other teams.

    Friends of old teammates and new teammates from other teams will definitely be curious about playing with a supernova like Zhang Hao, and the feedback they get is often not much different.

    For example, Magic himself was asked about Zhang Hao when Byron Scott was traded back. Magic¡¯s evaluation was that he wanted to be good, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of getting along with him.

    ¡­¡­

    On January 26, the Lakers came to Key Arena to challenge the SuperSonics.

    After the morning training, the Lakers opened interviews.

    Zhang Hao was asked by a reporter: "Akers, Payton said that you and O'Neal are only popular because they play in Los Angeles. Those people only chose you two because they wanted to come to Los Angeles to play. Do you have any response to this?"

    Zhang Hao responded casually: "What he said makes sense, but we are playing in Los Angeles!"

    ""

    The reporter didn¡¯t know how to continue asking, he was causing trouble!  This guy actually recognized it like that!

    Even Jason Williams, who was watching the camera next to him, had the urge to hit his teammates.

    It is indeed too shabby!

    At 6:40 in the evening, when the players from the two teams entered the Key Arena court, Payton was quite unhappy when he saw Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    These two are actually the two most popular young players in the league!

    And he, Payton, only got 2 votes, one of which was cast by his little brother Kidd.

    As far as he knows, several people on their team voted for Zhang Hao or O'Neal.

    All actions of the media are done from the perspective of creating topics. If there is no profit, it is not early. The purpose of engaging in this topic is definitely not to select who is the most popular player. The most fundamental purpose is to take advantage of people.  Psychology, creating a situation of opposition between stars.

    There are always people who care about these things. No, Payton cares about it.

    And when he entered the stadium and the game against the Lakers was about to begin, he saw Zhang Hao¡¯s face that in his opinion should appear in an adult theater instead of the NBA and he was even more jealous!

    After Zhang Hao entered the court, he pushed for a three-pointer in the other half of the court, listening to the laughter of the away fans near the baseline to exercise his mental endurance. Suddenly, the system prompt came.

    "Triggered by provocation, Gary Payton's envy and jealousy of the special contract player Zhang Hao reached the extreme, and he regarded Zhang Hao as an opponent that must be defeated."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Before, I just saw someone who was unhappy with him, but now I am envious, jealous and hateful?

    "The Lakers team, where special contract player Zhang Hao belongs, has become the opponent that the Seattle Double Stars most want to defeat. Mission: The first stage target is triggered when the rain stops and heavy rain falls."

    "The rain stopped:

    The first stage: heavy rain is coming.

    Goal 1: When Zhang Hao faced off against Sean Kemp, he limited Sean Kemp's score to less than 10 points.

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao¡¯s post-up score must be higher than Gary Payton¡¯s.

    Goal 3: When Zhang Hao is on the court, the Lakers must score higher than the Sonics.

      However, no matter how amazing his athletic ability is, if he gains 8 kilograms of weight, his movement will be affected. It¡¯s just that he will get used to it in the future, but he is not used to it yet!  He still followed his previous defensive habits, waiting for the opponent to reach his position and pressing forward to block the shot, but his movement was a little slow.

    Kemp seized the opportunity, turned around and put the basket When the ball went out, he was knocked down by O'Neal.

    But Kemp¡¯s touch was soft, and the ball dropped into the basket. The referee¡¯s whistle sounded, and Kemp¡¯s goal was valid and an additional penalty was required!

    With Kemp's free throw, the Sonics immediately narrowed the point difference to 4 points after returning from the timeout. Seeing that the situation was about to become dangerous, it suddenly became less dangerous.

    George Karl focused on cursing during the short timeout and did not make any adjustments before the timeout ended. Kemp's attack after coming on the court went straight to the basket. It was not a tactical arrangement, but because he wanted to vent his emotions.  , the result was scored!

    As both top players, Kemp has a very keen sense of offense, and he immediately discovered that there was something wrong with the defensive end of O'Neal, who had just returned.

    This is an opportunity!  Kemp couldn't care less about competing with Zhang Hao and immediately discussed with Payton when he retreated.

    The Lakers never imagined that when O'Neal was on the court, a team without a top center would mainly focus on inside offense, but this is what happened today, and they really couldn't prevent it.  !

    After a few more rounds, the Lakers' offense had no problem. O'Neal was the biggest threat as he moved in and out of the three-second zone. The Sonics' defense was forced to shrink, and the previous terror of mid-range and short-range defense became a close-range one.  And the coverage of the basket.

    But the defense under the basket was blown away!

    At 8 minutes and 44 seconds of the first quarter, the Sonics relied on the inside attack to separate themselves. Schrempf hit a three-pointer. The Sonics overtook the Lakers by 1 point, 20-19!

 Chapter 262 262. Half the team is a coach (6K)

    It¡¯s not true that O¡¯Neal has slowed down. It¡¯s just that he is slower than before when he starts, and his speed during fast breaks and movements cannot be seen to have changed much. His physical fitness is outrageous.

    But a small gap, in this level of competition, is a very big loophole in the eyes of the opponent!

    The SuperSonics seized the opportunity to make sudden shots from inside and outside. After only scoring 2 points in the first two minutes or so, they scored 31 points at the end of the first quarter and surged to 29 points in the next 9 minutes or so!

    The Sonics' climax came early and fiercely, and their ability to seize opportunities is very strong.

    Fortunately, O'Neal played two singles in the last two minutes of the first quarter. He dunked the ball twice through the opponent's 216-centimeter center. Although he missed an extra penalty, he showed his offensive deterrence. After the first quarter,  The Lakers trailed the SuperSonics by 3 points, 28-31.

    Entering the break between quarters, Zhang Hao returned to the sidelines and was speechless when he thought of O'Neal's two more unstoppable low singles just now.

    "I just gained seven or eight kilograms, and I am invincible in low post shots!"

    Although there was no solution before, there is still a gap compared with the current 122 kg center that cannot even pull it.

    What is talent?

    This is!

    O'Neal felt Zhang Hao's gaze, turned around and roared: "I know! I will lose weight! You don't need to remind me!"

    ""

    Zhang Hao was confused¡ªdid I just say something?

    Did you say that?

    It must have been something he said without knowing it, otherwise the fat guy wouldn't be so angry.

    But it is true that with their current lineup structure and team play, at least in the regular season, it is necessary to lose weight. O'Neal, who is not yet 25 years old, does not need that much weight.

    Of course, if O'Neal can't lose weight, then make adjustments to O'Neal's new style of play.

    O¡¯Neal, on the other hand, is not obsessed with the invincible offense in the two rounds just now. He could achieve similar results before he gained weight, but now his start is affected, and he feels uncomfortable even with the good singles effect.

    Really, when he came on the field, Zhang Hao had just led the team to a 9-2 start. As soon as he came on, good guy, he ended the first quarter trailing by 3 points. It was so embarrassing.

    The key point is defense. O'Neal is not a fool. He felt that there was a problem with his short-distance explosive movement.

    ¡°It¡¯s only 10 pounds, it¡¯s not a big deal, just eat two pounds less vegetables every day and you should be fine¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­

    The second quarter of the game began. Zhang Hao did not stay on the court once the score was anxious like O'Neal was absent. Even if the score was currently behind, Del Harris wanted him to rest at the beginning of the second quarter.

    What the Lakers management and coaching staff are most worried about is Zhang Hao's health. Although there is nothing wrong with the examination, Zhang Hao averaged 41 minutes per game during O'Neal's absence Not bad for a second-year player.  What a big problem, but Zhang Hao is different from other second-year players. Those second-year players who can become a team's strongest scorer like Zhang Hao are at least 23 or 24 years old, while Zhang Hao is only 20 years old.

    "What if this damn kid gets injured and the management blames me? O'Neal is back and his playing time needs to be reduced Well, let him shoot more when he is on the court. We can't let this damn kid take it easy."

    Del Harris's rotation has been very good. Since he can't defend himself, let's attack with the lineup of James Robinson, Byron Scott, Brian Shaw, Jason Williams, and O'Neal.  .

    James Robinson and Byron Scott were waiting for opportunities on both sides of the line. O'Neal played the main attack in the low post, and Brian Shorter responded to the ball.

    If you don¡¯t defend Kemp well on the defensive end, then you have to shrink the inside line. If the opponent makes a shot, there is nothing you can do. When the shot fails, Jason Williams uses O¡¯Neal to block people and guard the defensive rebounds.

    By the middle of the second quarter, the Sonics had scored 48 points, and there was no possibility that the Lakers' lineup could defend them.

    But in this case, the Lakers narrowed the point difference by 1 point!  Two points behind 46 to 48 and entering the official timeout!

    With 7 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, the Sonics players looked at O'Neal's performance in this half and had nothing to say.

    After playing 16 minutes in the half, O'Neal already had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists!

    It¡¯s true that he didn¡¯t defend, and he didn¡¯t have many rebounds, but he had stronger singles and more solid positioning O¡¯Neal¡¯s body, which looks a lot bulkier, is still strong!

    ??Moreover, judging from O'Neal's running counterattack in one round, O'Neal's speed has not dropped too much. He is still faster than most centers in the league, but the defensive end has not adapted yet.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????? At least tonightThose who play ball are all practiced.

    Anyway, Eric Snow still doesn¡¯t seem to be ready yet. There are rumors in the free market that this second-round pick of the 1995 class with outstanding defensive talent has been put on the shelf by the Sonics.

    The second half of the game started with the Sonics attacking first.

    Eric Snow passed the ball to Kemp who was stretched to the free throw line, and then cut inside.

    Kenny Anderson followed closely, and Eric Snow couldn't get rid of him. Zhang Hao guarded Kemp's mid-range shot with confidence, but Kemp kept his head down and rushed forward!

    The Lakers quickly shrunk, Kemp passed the ball, and the ball was given to Eric Snow, who ran out from the basket after a circle. Eric Snow passed the ball to the other side, and Jose Perkins  Long two point hit.

    With one point guard, one Kemp, and three shooters, there is really no way to defend him unless the opponent's touch declines.

    Of course, the Lakers have also begun to strengthen the confrontation with the opponent's outside shooters. But they just came back from the halftime break. Unless the opponent's hand feels cold, it will not be effective all of a sudden.

    When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao saw that it was David Wingate, a 196-centimeter swingman guarding him, who went straight to the low post!

 Chapter 263 263. A new nickname for you (6K)

    Unable to defend the Sonics, the Lakers chose the simplest method - see who can't hold off the attack first!

    There are three players: Zhang Hao, Barkley, and Kenny Anderson. First of all, Zhang Hao and Barkley take turns playing in the back, and Kenny Anderson is responsible for receiving and playing singles when the two of them need to slow down.

    When one of Zhang Hao and Barkley is playing in singles, the other one goes to the other side of the three-second zone to receive the ball from the high post, and passes the basket to Jason Williams to rush or eat the pie, while Byron Scott beats the player from behind.  The same side is ready to respond.

    Simple and crude!

    On the defensive end, Zhang Hao no longer guards Kemp. He loves scoring. As long as the Lakers score more points than their opponents when he is on the court, his back-up score will definitely be higher than that of Payton.

    With these problems solved, he concentrated on trying to win.

    Kemp is also really strong. Except for the year when he was hacked, almost every year the playoff data is better than the regular season. He plays the game against the Lakers as if it were the playoffs. In the first half of the third quarter, he led the team to play against the Lakers.  The score was 16 to 17!

    Zhang Hao and Barkley were busy for a long time. Zhang Hao scored 7 points and Barkley scored 5 points and 1 assist. They only narrowed the point difference by 1 point. They were still 9 points behind at 75-84.

    After the official timeout, Payton took a good rest for half a quarter and came on the court, preparing to lead the team with Kemp to establish a victory. They saw that the Lakers had replaced Barkley and Kenny Anderson!  This is your chance!

    Then, the combination of James Robinson, Brian Shaw, Zhang Hao, Magic, and O'Neal continued to work hard!

    In the second half of the third quarter, O'Neal was the main attacker. He didn't care about anything else. As long as he had the strength, he just kept attacking and ignored the rest.

    What does it mean to defeat ten societies with one force?  O'Neal used his powerful back attack to make the Sonics feel it.

    The SuperSonics played very hard on the offensive end and were also thinking of ways on the defensive end, but O'Neal hit McIlvay twice and turned into a hook, and after three hits, he dunked directly. The double-team came out, and Zhang Hao and  James Robinson can take the shot, and Brian Shaw and Magic can transition.

    When O'Neal needed a rest after several rounds in a row, and the Sonics finally felt relieved, Zhang Hao came again

    They are all bulldozers, and they are more tiring than a back-up jump shot. Both Barkley and O'Neal need to rest. Zhang Hao seems to have consumed a lot, but Zhang Hao has no feeling of slowing down at all. The Sonics are going crazy.  Now - how can this guy play in the fourth quarter if he doesn't think about it?

    Fortunately, the duo of Payton and Kemp is very strong, and the Supersonics pitchers performed well tonight. Although the Lakers scored 18 points in the second half of the third quarter, the Sonics themselves also scored 1.  3 points.

    35 to 29 in a single quarter, the Lakers chased the score to 93 to 97 at the end of three quarters, narrowing the point difference to 4 points!

    ¡­¡­

    O'Neal is still a little uncomfortable with his current career-high weight. In singles, he can actually use less force to complete the same offense as before, but he is not used to it and cannot control it well. In the second half of the third quarter, he made 6 shots.  4 times, 1 point shot and 1 foul, 3 of 4 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws that were really accurate when he was needed, 8 points and 1 assist, which is really tiring.

    Normally, O'Neal takes 2 shots in a game including the number of fouled free throws, plus the number of successful shots, which means he only takes about 25 shots in a game. Among them, the number of singles is 6-10 times in a game.  , and it was still spread out. In this half of the game, he almost concentrated the number of singles in a game together. The efficiency was high, but after sitting down to rest for a while after three quarters, he really needed to take a good rest.

    In the fourth quarter, the Lakers once again sent out a lineup of Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Barkley, Jason Williams, and Byron Scott.

    On the SuperSonics side, Payton led the team for a while, and George Karl asked Kemp to take a rest.

    The Lakers attacked first, and Barkley started the strong attack mode first. Payton also counterattacked with a high-post turnaround jumper.

    From the beginning, Payton really competed with Barkley, and even had a slight advantage. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he shot a wave of 7 to 6, 104 to 109. The SuperSonics finished the first five rounds of the fourth quarter.  , widening the point difference by one point.

    It¡¯s time for the Lakers to attack again. Seeing that Barkley didn¡¯t ask for the ball anymore, but opened up the space and maintained the threat of mid-range shots and rushes, the SuperSonics felt that an opportunity had come!

    Payton is now in excellent offensive form, and on the defensive end he has the confidence to greatly restrict Kenny Anderson. He feels that the time has come to widen the point difference!

    But Barkley opened up, not to make room for Kenny Anderson to break through, but to make room for Zhang Hao to play from behind!

    Everyone thought Zhang Hao had already scored 2 points in three quarters tonight?Zhang Hao agreed and asked Kenny Anderson to play for a while first. He still had a group of training sessions.

    Kenny Anderson came to Zhang Hao's game room. There was a row of arcade machines, and the game coins were open for use. He spent a full 12 game coins to beat Crazy Li, but he still couldn't win. He came out depressed and wanted to wait for Zhang Hao.  Teach him after training.

    Then we went to the outdoor court and saw Zhang Hao making cross-step changes and breakthroughs more skillfully than yesterday There was no way to play anymore!

    This speed of progress is still due to human beings!

    But think about that autumn more than a year ago, when he first met Zhang Hao. At that time, Zhang Hao knew nothing but running and shooting. Then, he quickly learned to distribute the ball in the game and quickly adjusted.  The shortcomings of the style of play became a better off-ball shooter, and then, 50 points + a buzzer beater ended Jordan's Nets career, and then the rookie first team!

    Now, Zhang Hao has even developed the cross step!

    Other times it was fine. With Zhang Hao¡¯s progress this time, Kenny Anderson felt that Zhang Hao had broken all the positional barriers!

    Kenny Anderson was doubting life, but Zhang Hao was ecstatic after finishing the 6th hour of today's training session at 1:33 pm!

    ¡°The cross-step change evaluation of special contract player Zhang Hao has been raised to 60, reaching the qualified level.¡±

 Chapter 264 264.183 Enemies (6K)

    The 29th is the Lakers¡¯ training day. Tomorrow is the Lakers¡¯ last game day in January.

    The Lakers¡¯ popular team benefits will be gone after tomorrow¡¯s game.

    So far, the Lakers' record of 35 wins and 9 losses is inseparable from the schedule.

    There is one game at the end of October and 16 games in November, which is relatively compact. However, there are only 14 games in December and January. In terms of schedule distribution, the first three game months are very easy.

    From February to April, there will be 37 games, which will be much more difficult.

    This schedule cannot be said to be very good, but it is just right for the Lakers. They need time to adjust in the early and mid-season, and they need this kind of schedule.

    In terms of the effect of running-in, Del Harris has some satisfactions and some regrets, but it is not bad for the new lineup to achieve such a record.

    Zhang Hao was surprised when he saw O'Neal this morning. He had not seen him for two days and he had lost two kilograms!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??

    O'Neal is indeed playing seriously. He has hardly eaten snacks in the past two days, and he has two hours of swimming lessons every day. The 8 pounds of meat he has gained in the past 20 days are all due to puffiness, which only increases the tonnage and inertial impact force.  , it is easy to reduce.

    It¡¯s not that he has become more self-disciplined, it¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t want to be the one holding him back, otherwise he is worried that he will be despised by a certain Lakers player No. 8 who wishes to remain anonymous.

    Big Fatty¡¯s thoughts are quite simple.

    After the morning preparation training, Zhang Hao made an appointment with Mour Ning for lunch.

    On the court, Mourning is the kind of tough guy who hardly says a word. In private, Mourning can't be called enthusiastic and warm, but he has a much more heroic atmosphere. At noon, there is another half bottle of vodka

    "Mr. Moning, you should stop drinking. It's not good for your kidneys."

    "Hahahaha, Aix, you look cold, but you are always so worried. Look at my muscles, this bit of alcohol is quickly metabolized!"

    ?? Doesn¡¯t a fast metabolism mean that the liver has to bear more pressure?  Doesn¡¯t it mean that urinary nitrogen will be consumed more, which means the kidneys have to do more work?

    Zhang Hao has already reminded him, but if the other party doesn¡¯t listen, there¡¯s nothing he can do about it.

    This is the same as persuading people to quit smoking. Don¡¯t smokers know the dangers of smoking?  of course I know.

    However, everyone has their own troubles and always need different ways to relieve their stress.

    Mourning plays under a player like Pat Riley, and the pressure can be imagined.

    Therefore, Zhang Hao just reminded him, and didn¡¯t say anything more.

    As usual, a dinner date is just a dinner date.

    In the afternoon, Zhang Hao returned home and practiced three more sets of shots, one set of mid-range shots and two sets of three-point shots in the top arc area. It is still in the middle of the season. Although they have had two days of rest before, today the Lakers still only have morning practice for tomorrow.  The Lakers will continue to rest until the start of the All-Star Weekend and will not conduct more training.

    We are already very familiar with each other¡¯s playing styles, and more supplements for small-scale cooperation must start from actual combat.

    But Zhang Hao himself has not slacked off. It is obvious that the progress of basic skills has slowed down, which means that the basic skills in terms of strengths have reached a relatively high level. But the more this happens, the more persistent he must be to become a player who is truly proficient in basic skills.  Rather than being a player who can only be said to be excellent in everything but not at the top level.

    ¡­¡­

    January 30th is the game day between the Lakers and Heat.

    Following the game against the SuperSonics on the 26th, the Lakers ushered in another day of live broadcast across the United States. A total of 5 TV stations in North America, including three TV stations, the Imperial TV station, and the BBC, will broadcast their match against the Heat in the Eastern and Western Conferences.  The two-place match will be broadcast live!

    The Lakers are second in the Western Conference with 35 wins and 9 losses. The Heat have to play two more games. They are currently second in the Eastern Conference with 34 wins and 12 losses. The difference in record is not big. Combined with the schedule distribution of the two teams, it is very likely that they will be in second place by the end of the season.  , the two teams will compete for third place in the regular season.

    In addition, there are many aspects to watch in this game.

    Kenny Anderson, the first cross-step breakthrough player in the Mesozoic era, Tim Hardaway, the king of cross-step changes, is the strongest among the veterans.

    O¡¯Neal and Mourning, the No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick in the 1992 class.

    The Lakers are the strongest offensive team this season, and the Heat are one of the best teams in the league in terms of defensive strength and strength. The imperial court promoted this game as a showdown between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

    The Lakers have a luxurious main lineup, and so does the Heat.Used for advertising, Iverson's exposure will naturally be higher.

    There is also Anfernee Hardaway, who unfortunately was injured during the voting period in January.

    Conspiracy theories have emerged here, and some media have maliciously speculated that Anfernee Hardaway is faking an injury and wants to force the Magic to trade him. The argument is that in the past three seasons, Anfernee Hardaway has not missed even one time due to injury.  But he was hurt after the Magic refused to renew his 7-year, $128 million contract. What a coincidence.

    Seeing that the name of the media outlet that threw out the conspiracy theory was the Orlando Sentinel, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t think about why there was such a statement.

    Fans are easily influenced. A large part of Anfernee Hardaway's All-Star votes were cast by Orlando fans. When the local media did this, his votes were naturally affected, and the one who benefited became Iverson.

    Ever since, the number 58, in the world of basketball, has been firmly bound to Iverson.

    ? American cable television stations used this incident to tease during the commentary period after the NBA officially announced the All-Star voting results.

    Indeed, without that 58-point defeat, there would be no exposure for Iverson that could be compared to Grant Hill.

    You must know that Grant Hill is a player that the league strongly recommends, but Iverson, the league is not willing to praise him.

    But Iverson found a way out on his own!  Sacrifice 58 in one game and get an All-Star starting spot!

 Chapter 265 265. Unprecedented lack of tacit understanding (8k)

    For the third consecutive year, a rookie has been selected as an All-Star starter. This is really the first time in the modern basketball era.

    The title of All-Star player is very important. Being elected and having All-Star ability are two different things. Being elected as an All-Star is an All-Star. Players who are selected as an All-Star, whether they are negotiating contract extensions with the team or negotiating endorsement fees with sponsors  Every time, there are benefits.

    Iverson was selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie year, which brought him more attention, but there is no doubt that it will also give him the same treatment as O'Neal, Grant Hill, and Zhang Hao in their rookie seasons - becoming the other  The one the superstar wants to bully.

    Public opinion generally believes that Iverson's next game will not be easy, because there is indeed a big gap between Iverson's performance in his rookie season and O'Neal, Grant Hill, and Zhang Hao.

    ¡­¡­

    After the Lakers played the game against the Heat, they rested for two days.

    Three people were selected as All-Star starters. Although Jordan's vote leader and Iverson's rookie All-Star starter stole the main limelight, they are also quite eye-catching.

    It¡¯s just that some people are happy and some are worried.

    Kenny Anderson is still a little depressed. He was also an All-Star starter back then!  Although he was selected that year because Jordan and Isaiah Thomas both retired, he was also popular at the beginning.

    But it¡¯s okay, he was only selected to the All-Stars once, and if he lost, he lost.

    And O'Neal is really depressed.

    He was an All-Star starter for the first four years of his career, but in his first year in the Western Conference, he was outclassed by Olajuwon.

    On February 2nd, the Lakers ushered in a home game against the Washington Bullets.

    Before the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers' remaining three games are all home games, and this game against the Bullets is the first of back-to-back home games.

    At 6:10 in the evening, after the two teams finished warming up and entered the court, Zhang Hao looked at the unhappy O'Neal and was speechless.

    What a big deal!  Isn¡¯t it because he was not selected as an All-Star starter?

    Zhang Hao was about to appease the fat man, so he came to O'Neal and asked, "Mr. O'Neal, how does it feel to not be selected as the All-Star starter?"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    O¡¯Neal was about to run away on the spot.

    Really, Zhang Hao really wanted to comfort O'Neal. In preparation for tonight's game yesterday, you could see O'Neal's slumped face all morning.

    However, when Zhang Hao came to O'Neal, he blurted out this question.

    Because, when he entered the NBA, he was an All-Star starter. I don¡¯t know what it feels like

    O¡¯Neal really wants to crush the head of the second-year bastard in front of him!

    But, thinking about how I was pointing at this guy to be so relaxed and happy, I couldn¡¯t bear it.

    However, he was worried not only about not being selected as the All-Star starter. There was nothing he could do about it. He was injured during the crucial All-Star starter voting period. Olajuwon just happened to perform well in December and January, averaging 24 points per game.  With 9 rebounds and 4.4 assists, he is also the most accomplished center in the league today. He is also convinced.

    What worries him the most is that he won¡¯t even make it to the All-Stars!

    Seeing the fat man ignoring others, Zhang Hao felt that he had gone too far

    Turning his brain, Zhang Hao quickly analyzed O'Neal's anxiety and said: "Ahem, I think Mr. O'Neal, you don't have to worry about not being able to make the All-Stars. Even if you only played 30 games, your performance is still the best among all centers in the league.  the best."

    ??Finally said something humanly!  O'Neal is in a much better mood.

    Not to mention, O'Neal cares a lot about Zhang Hao's praise. In his mind, Zhang Hao is enough to become his competitor, so he dislikes Zhang Hao so much, just like he did to Anfernee Hardaway.

    But I still don¡¯t want to talk to this guy, because this guy has been selected as an All-Star starter!

    Zhang Hao had no idea. He had tried his best to comfort him, but the other party ignored him, so he ignored him.

    In fact, this is fine. When the playoffs come, O'Neal will look at those All-Star starters and maybe he will play harder.

    Soon, at 6:30 in the evening, the game between the Lakers and Bullets started.

    The last time they played against each other, the three major players Webb, Juwan Howard, and Rod Strickland went berserk, and the Lakers were beaten.

    That time, the Lakers lost due to the average state of the Lakers themselves and some slackness against a team that was neither very strong nor a competitor. For this, the Lakers players have always held grudges.

    This time, it¡¯s the Lakers¡¯ turn to go on a rampage!

    O¡¯Neal is really a magical player. More than a week ago, his weight reached 140 kilograms and it took a long time to adapt.?As soon as this matter was discussed with the management, Jerry West and Kupchak were speechless.

    But Jenny Buss saw a business opportunity

    Several players have different thoughts.

    The training ground was very quiet, so quiet that Zhang Hao felt embarrassed.

    You have to say something!

    "Ahem," Zhang Hao coughed twice to attract the attention of those present, "Well, do we still have a chance to cancel the application and continue to play in the All-Star Game? Since someone wants to launch it, just let Mr. O'Neal withdraw from the game, and the other four of us  Keep fighting individually."

    "???" O'Neal showed a black question mark face and became unhappy on the spot. He roared: "Why me? Why don't you quit the game!"

    Zhang Hao shrugged: "I quit!"

    "Uhyeah"

    O¡¯Neal really didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Hao, an indifferent teammate, would sneak away and withdraw from the game. He was so fat that he was ready to see Kenny Anderson be moved.

    The Magician was not surprised. When he came back, he could feel Zhang Hao's warm heart under his cold appearance. He smiled and said, "I'm already this old. I want to take a good rest. I want to see what happens to Kenny after I retire."  There is no chance to enter. I didn¡¯t expect you all to withdraw. The league probably cried when we received our withdrawal application yesterday. The league has announced the waiting list. I think our All-Star Game can only pin our hopes on you, Kenny.  ¡±

    As for Barkley

    "Kenny, I didn't give up my position to you! I was ready to retire and give up my position to the young people"

    Believe it or not!

    The silence was broken, and it was no longer so embarrassing. At this point, there was no way to change this decision. Several people began to discuss what the magician said.

    "Mr. O'Neal, Mr. Barkley, and Mr. Johnson, you all have endorsement activities and are going to Cleveland, right? Let's go watch the game together then? Go and cheer for Kenny!"

    "Cool! The four of us formed a support group, so cool!" O'Neal rarely agreed with Zhang Hao's words.

    "Do you think Kenny has a chance to win the MVP?"

    "It's too difficult. Kenny is a traditional point guard, not a scoring point guard like Iverson, Hardaway, or Thomas. You said they are all about the same height, and they all change directions to attack people. Why is there such a difference?  big?"

    "There is also a big difference in personality. The personalities of those few people are not as good as those of Kenny."

    "Yes, yes, your boss Kenny is the best, the best in the world, okay"

    With that said, the four major retired All-Stars left the training ground. They knew that Kenny Anderson needed space to calm down now.

    If one person gives up his position, if that team has players who are qualified to be selected for the All-Stars, and other teams do not have players with such a big advantage, generally speaking, a substitute from the same team, such as Alan Houston, will be selected instead of Ewing.  , rather than the substitutes Kristen Laettner or Juwan Howard, who have better statistics and contribution performance.

    When someone gives up his position, Kenny Anderson will definitely have a lot to say.

    But now, Kenny Anderson definitely doesn¡¯t know what to say, so he won¡¯t let it continue to be embarrassing.

    Kenny Anderson, who was "left behind", watched the management and coaching staff leave, and watched several teammates leave. He had mixed emotions, but he was really moved This was his previous experience with the Nets and Hornets.  , an emotion I have never felt in my several years with the 76ers.

    At this time, Zhang Hao, who left the training ground with the three fat men, received a system prompt

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao took the initiative to withdraw from the game in order to help his teammates who were not selected for the All-Star Game to be selected as alternate All-Stars. This behavior greatly strengthened the team cohesion of his team. The special mission of Silver Medal: Homecoming has been completed.

 Chapter 266 266. I am a die-hard fan of Boss Joe!  (11,000 words)

    Zhang Hao withdrew from the All-Star Game, but his status as an All-Star this year will not be canceled because of this. His official career resume will still have a record of being selected as an All-Star starter this year.

    The league did not refuse the Lakers' four major stars to withdraw collectively, and it was also considered. In this way, four more All-Star players can be launched this year.

    From a sensational point of view, the four of them withdrawing from the game actually made this All-Star Weekend more exposed.

    Although he withdrew from the competition, Zhang Hao¡¯s commercial activities have not been cancelled. Based on the feedback he received from sponsors and surrounding brands, fans¡¯ enthusiasm has increased

    Of course, there will definitely be negative situations, such as fans¡¯ expectations being disappointed, and All-Star Game ratings may be affected.

    There are good reviews, for example, it can be seen that they are trying to create opportunities for Kenny Anderson to become an All-Star, but this matter will also bring negative reviews.

    ¡° Anyway, this incident has had both good and bad effects on Zhang Hao.

    Since he did it, Zhang Hao has no regrets, but now he has something to worry about.

    The Lakers All-Star Weekend rest period is from February 6th to February 12th, a seven-day period, and the scheduled commercial activities are from the morning of February 8th to 10th. This arrangement has not changed.

    April Clark has already gone to Cleveland to arrange a place to stay and communicate about business activities.

    April Clark has a new job - working as an assistant to her boyfriend when needed.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s main identity is a basketball player, but he is no longer limited to this.

    He is still an actor, and he is still the kind of magical actor who sells peripheral products so well that the sales of peripheral products drive DVD sales. Tsuburaya already has a project to make a theatrical version, and his background must be in the United States. Recently, Zhang Hao was contacted  There are more and more little vixens in the agency who want to take advantage of the camera. In response, April Clark decided to declare her sovereignty!

    The vase role will always be hers!

    Since it¡¯s hard for a drama actor to find a job anyway, then he becomes an assistant.

    Zhang Hao got the opportunity to start a new learning mode yesterday, the morning of the 6th, and when he took Pierce and Britney on a plane to Cleveland this morning, he was still struggling - which one to choose?

    Zhang Hao has his own perception of a player who is a great pull-up jumper.

    There are several candidates.

    Jordan is handsome, and Kobe¡¯s version is also good.

    Arenas, Zhang Hao is not sure if he is the best, but in his impression, Arenas made his name with a pull-up jump shot.

    Iverson, passers-by fans may not understand his mid-range pull-up jumpers and think he is a great breakthrough player, but more than half of Iverson's scores are mid-range pull-up shots.

    Irving, a flashy pull-up jumper, the kind that is very enjoyable to watch, Anfernee Hardaway and Tracy McGrady are similar.

    Klay Thompson and Curry are not famous for pull-up jumpers, but their chasing three-pointers can be regarded as pull-up jumpers, which are very useful for counterattacks.

    There is also a similar Jason Terry Durant, Lillard, Harden and others also have similar abilities.

    After analysis, Zhang Hao found that many outside superstars regard the emergency stop jumper as their main scoring method.

    Durant¡¯s jump shot is more comprehensive, and his pull-up jump shot is also good, but not handsome enough. Similar is Paul George.

    At 10:30 in the morning, when he arrived at a vacation villa in Cleveland, Zhang Hao still couldn't make a decision.

    ¡°It¡¯s better to randomly designate one, I¡¯ve been struggling for too long! Damn, if I had known better, I wouldn¡¯t have given up my position to Boss Kenny¡±

    Zhang Hao just saw that Kenny Anderson was a little frustrated. The Lakers were regarded as a "Big Five" team. The other four people were all selected to the All-Stars. Kenny Anderson was the only one who failed to be selected. There are always people gossiping.

    It just so happens that he plans to spend more time training during the All-Star Weekend. This time it is not to continue to seize time to strengthen the cross-step change, but to train the connection between the cross-step change and subsequent shooting and basket attacks.

    As a result, I accidentally completed a hidden mission, got a special card, and started a simulation training project

    Originally, due to the huge difference in playing styles, Zhang Hao learned the pull-up jump shot from Kenny Anderson before, and Kenny Anderson also taught him patiently, but it just wasn't suitable. Kenny Anderson's breakthrough pull-up jump shot was to run and hide.  He went on defense, that's not why he Zhang.

    April Clark had done all the planning. When it was almost noon, she took Zhang Hao and followers Britney and Pierce to the restaurant where they had reserved a seat for lunch. She saw that Zhang Hao seemed to be troubled.

    After ordering, April Clark asked: "IkeOn the stage, he just wanted to punch the opponent and then run away.

    Zhang Hao felt that his eardrums were uncomfortable from Garnett's roar, while the fans at the scene were cheering crazily.

    Strong sports ability, high ball quotient, good talent, excellent static body quality  such genius high school students, they also have the Timberwolves!

    After Zhang Hao ran to the frontcourt, Garnett immediately followed him.

    After Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Zhang Hao, who was leaning against Garnett outside the three-point line between the top arc and the left side at a 45-degree angle.

    Garnett said to Zhang Hao in an almost ear-biting gesture: "Come on, let me see the strength of the strongest high school student in history!"

    At this moment, Zhang Hao seemed to see a string of rising numbers appearing next to the other party, stopping at 8,000 points.

    Zhang Hao really wants to fight Garnett, but his combat power index is no longer there. He doesn't bother to face off against the third-best high school player in active service. He is No. 1 on the KO list The main reason is that he has to let the big fat one out first.  Be happy, the first attack will be given to Big Fatty, as agreed.

    However, when Zhang Hao looked to the left side of the three-second zone, he found that O'Neal had his hands on his hips and had no intention of playing singles, while Barkley was pulling away on the right side of the three-second zone

    Kenny Anderson went to the 45-degree angle on the right, and Doug Christie was outside the three-point line on the left.

    "I'll go! You really let me come!"

    Surprised, Zhang Hao turned around to face the frame honestly, dribbling the ball back a little to open up the space.

    Garnett immediately pressed forward, fearing that Zhang Hao would throw a long three-pointer.

    The moment Zhang Hao was pressed by Garnett, he broke through to the right!

    Garnett was well prepared and moved quickly. Just when he was about to stick to Zhang Hao again, Zhang Hao made a beautiful dribble behind his back, avoiding Garnett's collision and breaking through to the left!

    Garnett wanted to make up for it and was unable to block it. He reacted quickly and retreated directly. While retreating, he turned around and chased Zhang Hao.

    To defend a power forward, he actually used the skills of guarding a small power forward. Garnett was speechless, but he was very confident that he could keep an eye on Zhang Hao for a breakthrough what the hell!

    Garnett's movement of retreating and turning is already very agile. If it were any top defender, he could follow it.

    Starting after a change always requires an acceleration stage, including the fastest players in the league like Iverson.

    But Zhang Hao changed his direction and seemed to sprint as fast as he could No, he started directly at a faster speed than usual!

    Garnett couldn¡¯t keep up. Zhang Hao rushed to the left side of the three-second zone, took off, and flew towards Gugliotta to lay the basket

    Gugliotta didn¡¯t react at all and watched helplessly as Zhang Hao put the ball over his head into the basket.

    There was nothing Gugliotta could do about this ball.

    Marbury, who was guarding Kenny Anderson, watched Zhang Hao play Garnett in isolation, his eyes widened.

    Kenny Anderson pursed his lips and retreated

    My little brother has really been able to smoothly use the cross step change in the game.

    It¡¯s not that Zhang Hao has never used the cross step to change direction, but when he used it before, he was either forced to have no other choice, or the situation was dangerous, and Zhang Hao seemed to be careless.

    It has a completely different meaning if it is used like this during regular time and on the first attack at the beginning of the game.

    This means that Zhang Hao has adopted cross-stepping and passing as a regular offensive method!

    Think about more than a year ago, my little brother could not even dribble with his feet

    The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed.

    It seems that their talented high school students can¡¯t do this type of play

    But this time Garnett did not get angry and asked for the ball. After receiving the serve and advancing to the front court, he handed the ball to Marbury, and then stretched it to the baseline. Gugliotta came out and asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left.

    Garnett was selected as an All-Star, but the leader of the Timberwolves' three-wolf combination is not Garnett, but Gugliotta. Gugliotta is the strongest player of the Timberwolves, averaging 21.0 points per game.  Points, 9 rebounds and 3.8 assists, ranking first in the Timberwolves in scoring and rebounding, and second in assists.

    Gugliotta's shooting ability is outstanding and he successfully pulled O'Neal out. Marbury cut in from the middle. Zhang Hao directly let go of Sam Mitchell and recovered the basket. Gugliotta passed the ball to Marbury.  Here, Marbury successfully attracted Zhang Hao and Doug Christie to attack, and then split the ball. Doug West used Sam Mitchell to block Kenny Anderson, easily cut in, received the ball, and rushed in  Take off from the basket!

    Zhang Hao turned around and no longer jumped forward to find a chance for confrontation. He jumped up hard, and when the opponent smashed the ball down, he tried his best to reach for the ball

    I think Doug West was also a star back then. He averaged 19.3 points per game at his peak. When he saw the opportunity, he decisively wanted to dunk. He was also a powerful charge player back then.

    ¡° However, he underestimated Zhang Hao¡¯s enthusiasm and shot-blocking predictions.

    Doug West cut in to catch the ball and hit the basket. His hand finally hit the basket, but the ball was knocked away!

 Chapter 267 267. Big Fat and the Boss (6K)

    As soon as he was lost, Zhang Hao became the background as soon as he lost, and he saved himself!

    O¡¯Neal took it back to grab the rebound, protected it, and counterattacked without haste. The opponent was fast. After the opponent ran away, he passed the ball to Zhang Hao.

    After Zhang Hao received O'Neal's pass, he was about to pass it to Kenny Anderson, but he saw Kenny Anderson running directly towards the frontcourt!

    After Zhang Hao advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Kenny Anderson waving for the ball Yes!

    Just now, Garnett received the serve and advanced once, and Boss Kenny also asked him to advance someone.

    At the beginning, Zhang Hao was allowed to play. Although Zhang Hao played well, Kenny Anderson did not continue to let Zhang Hao play, but signaled O'Neal to take the position.

    Zhang Hao immediately pulled away. O'Neal came to the low post on the left side of the three-second zone, received the ball, knocked Gugliotta away and smashed the ball into the basket.

    Gugliotta tried his best to resist and consume O'Neal to the greatest extent.

    It can¡¯t be guarded, and there is nothing the Timberwolves can do.

    When the Timberwolves attack, Garnett advances, passes to Marbury in the frontcourt, and then directly goes up to help Marbury block Doug Christie.

    Marbury broke through the pick-and-roll. Facing Barkley, his speed advantage was even more obvious. The Timberwolves' overall movement speed was also getting faster with Marbury!

    Zhang Hao went under the basket to defend Marbury. O'Neal also moved quickly to the baseline to block Sam Mitchell's cut. The ball was passed to Gugliotta, who made a mid-range shot!

    Since O'Neal couldn't be guarded on the defensive end, the Timberwolves' trio started with the offensive end.

    Marbury + Garnett + Gugliotta, such a trio, all have mid-range and long-range shots and can pass the ball. The key is that the three of them work together and are really difficult to guard.

    However, the Lakers' offense cannot be prevented even if the Timberwolves' defense has improved tremendously this year!

    After Kenny Anderson let Zhang Hao play one at the beginning, he didn't let Zhang Hao play again. Instead, he let Zhang Hao open up the space and let O'Neal take the main attack.

    It can be seen that when Zhang Hao plays Garnett, COSCO has no chance to make long-distance shots, so he can only rush to the basket at full speed.

    The success rate is not bad, but Zhang Hao has to face Garnett's sudden attack from the basket, which will cost him more than fighting most inside opponents!

    In this case, Kenny Anderson decisively chose to let O'Neal focus on the attack in the opening stage.

    O'Neal came back from the All-Star weekend and played a lot more actively. He needed to work on the offensive end, and he really stopped being lazy and caught Gugliotta and beat him up.

    Not only that, O'Neal also shrank very actively on the defensive end, which was obviously different from before the All-Star weekend.

    It's just that the offense of the Timberwolves' three-wolf combination is really difficult to defend. Like the original Dallas 3j, this combination has become a trio with "unlimited potential" in the minds of the media and fans, and compared to Dallas 3j, they have not used their talents.  Translated into results, the three wolves have already turned their talents into results in the first year of cooperation.

    In the opening stage, the Timberwolves tried their best to rely on offense to make up for the disadvantage of not being able to guard O'Neal. Moreover, when guarding O'Neal, Gugliotta was very smart.  .

    O¡¯Neal scored 3 goals in a row at the beginning, helping the Lakers score 10 to 6!

    It was the Lakers' offense again, and Kenny Anderson did not let O'Neal continue to play in singles.

    The opponent¡¯s defense is intact!  If O'Neal plays alone, his role will not be so prominent.

    ??In Kenny Anderson¡¯s view, O¡¯Neal¡¯s singles scoring has only two functions. One is when singles are needed to score to break the deadlock, and the other is when scoring is needed to stabilize the situation.

    He asked O'Neal to attack mainly in order to attract the opponent to attack, but the opponent did not attack from the opponent's flank and was not messy on the defensive end. The opponent's Gugliotta had average athletic ability, average height and wingspan, and he was a power forward and gave way to Garnett.  He only plays center, but with a body size of 208 centimeters and 110 kilograms, he has the sixth defensive efficiency at the center position in the league this season, which is quite smart.

    When the opponent's offense is doing quite well, continuing to let O'Neal play in singles is equivalent to wasting O'Neal's energy in vain.

    Kenny Anderson started to attack on his own, passing the ball suddenly, O'Neal maintained the threat of rushing, Barkley roamed in the mid-range, Zhang Hao looked for opportunities to respond

    In a game, you don¡¯t necessarily have to take advantage from the beginning. A game lasts so long, so you need to have a long-term plan.

    The opponent wanted to fight with all the energy, and Kenny Anderson also switched to the mode of playing with all the energy.

    Looking at the situation on the court, Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao cooperated, using the power of the two fat men to deal with the opponent's three wolves. Del Harris on the sidelines was surprised.

    This way of playing,Protect the rim, because the opponent's twin towers can be pulled out. Although Jerome Kersey is also sent to guard Garnett, the Timberwolves can shoot from both towers. Not to mention playing resolutely, tonight  They are all pretty accurate. The Timberwolves have many opportunities to cut in. If Zhang Hao were to defend Marbury alone, Marbury would rush to the basket, and Zhang Hao would not have the inside line to cooperate with the defense.

    But it¡¯s true that Zhang Hao¡¯s frame protection is excellent, but he doesn¡¯t mean that he can really be as good as those top frame protectors.

    However, at this time, O'Neal took the initiative to serve as a help defender!

    No need for communication and discussion. A bad relationship does not mean a bad understanding. Zhang Hao resolutely defended the basket this time, while O'Neal blocked Marbury's breakthrough.

    When Marbury tried to pass the ball, Zhang Hao made up for Gugliotta's side in advance. Marbury reacted quickly and grasped the ball, but did not stop during the confrontation. O'Neal and Kenny Anderson were involved.  Clamp down and walk!

    The Lakers¡¯ defensive changes surprised the Timberwolves!

    When have you ever seen O'Neal doing such a job?

    The key is, if you put aside the difference in body shape, it is really suitable!

    Zhang Hao is very talented in defense. This is recognized Zhang Hao's talent evaluation is comparable to that of Chamberlain and Jordan.

    But after all, he is still young, and we can see that his main focus is on offense. The current assist defense is not a hindrance, but it is just not a hindrance. Compared with O'Neal's supplementary defense, the gap is relatively large. Taken together,  , his frame protection + O'Neal's help defense are really more effective than his assistance defense + O'Neal's frame protection!

 Chapter 268 268. Diligent Shark!  (9K)

    In the last round, O'Neal defended like this, and Garnett thought it was an accident.

    It¡¯s O¡¯Neal!  How can a super center do the dirty work of assisting and making up defense?

    It¡¯s okay to help defend and make up defense. There is no problem in defending and making up defense when guarding the basket.

    But this is mid-range contraction + expansion assist defense. This is the job of power forwards and small forwards. Garnett felt that O'Neal would definitely not be able to do this. It must have been an accident just now.

    But in the second round, the defensive cooperation between O'Neal and Zhang Hao required no training or discussion, it just fit so well

    Garnett feels like he has ruined his team¡¯s logo!

    He avoided O'Neal because he was unwilling to play center. When O'Neal played against the Timberwolves, he actually chose to play power forward Garnett felt like he was being targeted!

    In fact, O'Neal is also helpless. In the past, Horace Grant helped him with defense. Now, he is needed to help another "center" with defense in the mid-range!

    But now that it¡¯s like this, O¡¯Neal can¡¯t do anything. With such a teammate, what else can he do?

    Fortunately, he lost weight. It took him nearly three weeks to regain control of his weight between 131-133 kilograms. He became the Magic's super center again with running and jumping ability comparable to that of a small forward!

    Otherwise, when the start when I first returned, this defense would not be really done.

    In short, after slacking off for half a season, O'Neal is ready to start playing seriously after the All-Star weekend.

    The reason He was super unhappy about not being selected as the All-Star starter. He wanted to compete for the best lineup!

    There are two competing targets, one is Olajuwon and the other is Ewing.

    Although both of them are not as efficient as him, they are both very healthy. He has advantages in statistics and dominance, but not much. Olajuwon has recovered and Ewing has played since 89-89 after losing weight.  The best efficiency since being selected for the first team in the 1990 season. After competing for so many years, O'Neal knew that based on his current number of appearances + data + total performance, he could not compete with these two people. He could only compete with those who missed 10 games due to injury in the same half-season.  Mourning competes in three formations.

    But he is not willing to give in!  Both of them were selected as All-Star starters, and he wanted to compete with these two for the best lineup.

    ? Then you have to work hard.

    At this time, he rarely thought about reciprocating a favor. Zhang Hao accommodated him on the offensive end, so he could only accommodate Zhang Hao on the defensive end.

    Fortunately, although it is a helpless move, the cooperation effect is not bad.

    The three wolves are extremely compatible, but both Garnett and Marbury are still young, one is 20 years old and the other is 19 years old. O'Neal took the initiative to change the defensive method and cooperated with Zhang Hao to have a way to defend the opponent!

    In addition, O'Neal changed his style of play on the offensive end, taking the initiative to contain Gugliotta with the ball, creating cutting opportunities for his teammates. With Zhang Hao's passing, Kenny Anderson hit a three-pointer and Byron Smith made a pass.  Kurt hit a long two-pointer, and Zhang Hao missed a three-pointer and O'Neal scored two points with a tip-in The Lakers went on a 9-2 run at the beginning of the second quarter and quickly opened the point difference to 7 points!

    When O'Neal put down his dignity for his own performance and to win, and took the initiative to adjust his playing style according to the playing style of his teammates, the Lakers' defense in the first and second quarters changed qualitatively!

    The fans at the scene thought that they were inseparable from the Lakers tonight It was indeed inseparable in the first quarter, but at the beginning of the second quarter, the strength gap suddenly increased!

    The balance has been broken. Before, the Timberwolves couldn't defend but still found ways to kill them on the offensive end. Now, they can't!

    In the second quarter, under the leadership of O'Neal's all-out defensive effort, the Lakers first went on a 9-2 run, beating the score to 42-35, leading by 7 points.

    The next wave of fierce attacks by the Timberwolves only returned a wave of 7-5, chasing the score to 42-47.

    In the second half of the second quarter, the Lakers played another 16-9 run. At the end of the half, the Lakers led 63-51, extending their lead to 12 points!

    Throughout the second quarter, after O'Neal cooperated with Zhang Hao to protect the frame and defend the mid-range and near-basket well, the Timberwolves' original style of play, which mainly focused on shooting by the two forwards, Marbury's breakthrough, and role players cutting in, did not work.  , only scored 18 points in the second quarter!

    Marbury had 11 points and 4 assists in the half, Garnett had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the half, and Gugliotta had 9 points and 2 assists in the half. The three of them were at their strongest.

    If O'Neal is still as motivated as he was before the All-Star Weekend, scoring about 20 points, a dozen rebounds, and two or three assists per game, the Timberwolves do have a chance to close the score with the Lakers, and who may lose in the end?  It¡¯s not certain who will win. Who makes the Lakers unlucky is another fat guy who is too lazy?

    However, when O'Neal played seriously and actively cooperated, You?The things you can¡¯t see are really powerful.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Now, I¡¯m finally working hard!

    ¡­¡­

    Soon, at 6:40 in the evening, the Lakers and Knicks entered the court.

    When the Knicks players entered the court, the fans at the scene booed quite violently.

    Who made the Knicks offend their favorite gentleman?

    However, now, O'Neal has become the darling of Los Angeles fans based on his performance in the past few games.

    When the home team players came on the field, O'Neal, who was the first to run out, received heartfelt cheers from the fans.

    Fans felt O'Neal's efforts and truly saw O'Neal's sacrifice!

    In the past, fans only cheered for O'Neal because of his strength. Now, they truly feel that O'Neal has integrated into their team.

    Neither Barkley nor Magic are the starters now, but when the Lakers appeared in the ceremony, the order of appearance was still O'Neal, Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Barkley, and Magic.

    This is quite rare in the NBA and is very special, but the fans at the scene just love it.

    The reason why the fans at the scene were so excited during a regular season game is because their defense has improved recently!

    In the past, Lakers fans also had doubts. In this era when defense is prevalent, the Lakers use slanted forwards to attack. Although the offense is really fierce, averaging 110+ points per game, how far can they go in the playoffs?

    Halfway through the season has passed, and the team's defense still hasn't improved much, with the league's mid-to-lower level.

    Finally, after the All-Star Weekend, there has been a transformation!

    Tonight¡¯s game against the Knicks is the best moment of verification!

    After entering the stadium, the top 50 centers from both teams led their teammates to greet each other before the game.

    When O'Neal and Ewing hugged, Zhang Hao next to him only felt one adjective - superficially friendly.

    It was Larry Johnson who seemed to be quite unhappy when the other party looked at him.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: When the onlookers and fans onlookers saw a lot of stars from the two teams exchanging greetings, they couldn¡¯t feel any friendliness at all. Instead, they felt like they were tense and a war was about to break out!

    "Patrick Ewing, 34 years old, 213 cm, 109 kg, ability evaluation 93, offense 95, defense 91"

    I looked at the player detection report of the opponent's starting lineup - this defense is outrageous!

    Except for Alan Houston, no one in the entire starting lineup has a defensive rating lower than 88!

    Even Alan Houston, led by four top defensive players, has a good defensive level.

    However, after playing against Heat players, Zhang Hao felt that the Knicks players' defense was a bit exaggerated, but it was not that difficult to accept.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Mainly?scores and assists. If it wasn¡¯t for good defense, the Knicks wouldn¡¯t be able to achieve a record of 37 wins and 16 losses.

    Childs averaged 9.2 points and 7.6 assists per game, Alan Houston averaged 15.8 points and 3.4 assists per game, Larry Johnson averaged 12.6 points and 2.3 assists per game, Charles Oakley averaged 11 points and 2.8 assists per game, and Ewing averaged 22.8 points and 2 assists per game.  .

    During the previous tactical meeting, Zhang Hao learned that, except for Ewing, the scoring average of the Knicks' major stars dropped by at least 3 points per game compared to last season. However, it was not that they did not play well, but that the stars were clustered together.  , the rhythm slows down, the team takes fewer shots, and the number of shots assigned to each person decreases

    Averaging 94.2 points per game, conceding 90.9 points per game, taking 75.6 shots per game, allowing opponents to take 76.3 shots per game

    On the day of tactical training, Zhang Hao¡¯s balls ached when he saw the Knicks¡¯ scouting report for the first half of the season.

    ??This morning¡¯s pre-game meeting, looking at the Knicks¡¯ scouting report after the All-Star break, was painful.

    It¡¯s even more painful to watch the player detection reports before the game.

    Compared with the Heat, Zhang Hao feels that the Knicks are even more difficult to beat?

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, O'Neal, and Zhang Hao.

    The Knicks sent out a starting lineup of Chris Childs, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, and Ewing.

    Zhang Hao came to the center circle and heard a very loud cheering sound from the sidelines

    "Patrick, you have to believe in the light!"

    Zhang Hao turned around and saw a black boy who looked like "a junior high school student?" standing and yelling, holding Ultraman X's transformation device in his hand.

    As for whether he is a junior high school student or not, it is debatable, but he looks about 1.9 meters tall.

    It¡¯s just that he looked very excited, but there was a sense of sadness on his face Zhang Hao turned around and looked at Ewing He looked a bit like

    Ewing seems to have rushed out to beat up Patrick Ewing Jr!

    This kid shamelessly pestered him to come to the away game to watch the game, but in the end he came to cheer for the guy on the opposite side!

    At this moment, Ewing didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with the Knicks losing Zhang Hao forever

    Soon, the game started, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air.

    When playing a jump ball with Ewing at this age, even if Ewing lost weight, Zhang Hao still had the advantage, jumping quickly and moving the ball backward first.

    O'Neal and George Lynch on this side of the center line immediately came down quickly. Charles Oakley and Larry Johnson blocked O'Neal. Alan Houston tried to block George Lynch, but failed to stop him, but he also gave it to Chaier.  When Si came up to block the time together, O'Neal and George Lynch's opening fast break were blocked.

    However, Kenny Anderson still passed the ball out as soon as he received the ball Zhang Hao!

    After Zhang Hao landed, he sprinted forward, got rid of Ewing's defense, used his speed to go straight to the opponent's basket, and rushed to the free throw line to receive the ball.

    After receiving the ball, Zhang Hao took a step directly and took off, holding the ball, as if he was going for a layup When he was about to put the ball into the basket, Zhang Hao's right hand, which was originally holding the ball, suddenly lifted the ball and grabbed the ball.  Turn your hand 180 degrees, pull it back, and pull the ball while your body is falling and sliding under the basket.OK, lob the ball to O'Neal again.

    O'Neal received the ball, and John Wallace, a rookie, immediately retreated to attack. Although he is a rookie, John Wallace is already 23 years old. He has strong defense and solid open shots. He is considered a pretty good player among this rookie class.  Combat strength, the timing of this flanking attack was well grasped. If O'Neal is asked to do a back attack again, there is a risk of making a mistake.

    In the past few rounds, O'Neal has become accustomed to turning right directly from the baseline, relying on his thick body to force his way out of position, and passing the ball to the right side of the three-second zone!

    When Barkley received the ball, he was immediately replaced by John Starks. Without a strong hit, Barkley chose to distribute the ball. Doug Christie, who was pulled to the right at a 45-degree angle, received the ball and shot a three-pointerit didn't go in!

    The previous confrontation in the first half of the quarter had a considerable impact on Doug Christie¡¯s catching and shooting.

    O¡¯Neal failed to grab the offensive rebound and retreated immediately.

    The Knicks attack.

    Originally, the Knicks thought that the Lakers replaced Fisher, a rookie, to defend Alan Houston.

    For the Lakers, even if it is a marginal rookie like Fisher, the Knicks have the patience to study it, knowing that Fisher is a player who plays hard and defends actively and steadily.

    But the Lakers¡¯ defense has changed tremendously!

    Instead of using the defensive method of the past five games, Zhang Hao defended from the outside again. O'Neal returned to the basket and protected the frame alone!

    Alan Houston stretched to the top of the arc and received the ball. Facing Zhang Hao's defense, he carefully protected the ball. Larry Johnson came to the right side of the three-second zone in a tacit understanding and relied on Barkley to ask for the ball.

    O¡¯Neal immediately retreated to double attack, and Larry Johnson passed the ball to Ewing. As soon as Ewing received the ball, Doug Christie made up for it, and his awareness was very good.

    Ewing raised the ball and there was a possibility that it would be cut off. He received the ball with his left hand without switching it to his right hand. He shook his hand and shot the ball from the bottom line at close range. John Wallace cut into the left side of the three-second zone at close range.  Catching the ball and throwing O'Neal quickly turned around to make up for it. John Wallace was so frightened that when the ball was about to be thrown, he unconsciously pulled back and raised the arc of the throw to avoid O'Neal's block.  Coverbut iron!

    Barkley turned around and blocked Larry Johnson, and O'Neal collected the defensive rebound!

    After passing the ball to Fisher, O'Neal did not increase his speed and ran slowly upfield. The Knicks retreated even faster than before.

    Seeing O'Neal surrounded by two power forwards and having to defend so tiredly, Del Harris on the sidelines could only let out a sigh.

    Fortunately, O'Neal has this ability, he can do it But, aren't superstars used to solve problems when there is no other way?

    After Zhang Hao came to the frontcourt, he again leaned on Larry Johnson to catch the ball on the left side of the top arc.

    Instead of throwing it to O'Neal, Zhang Hao grabbed the ball with his right hand and stretched his back, raised his left arm that was pressed against Larry Johnson, and made a "9" gesture.

    Little Van Gundy on the sidelines quickly flipped through his notebook, what is the No. 9 tactic?  Are there numbers or "ok" tactics in the Lakers' tactical gestures?

    Del Harris on the other side didn¡¯t know what the tactics were. Not to mention the coaches of the two teams, the Lakers players on the court didn¡¯t know what it meant.

    But the Lakers players just opened up, and Zhang Hao didn't give the ball to O'Neal or Barkley, but stood still, so it was definitely a one-on-one game.

    Noting that the Lakers players began to move after seeing Zhang Hao's gesture, Larry Johnson was very vigilant.

    Seeing his teammates start to move, Zhang Hao turned around to face Larry Johnson and started dribbling.

    Turning around directly was difficult to withstand Larry Johnson, a man with extraordinary strength, so Zhang Hao chose to use the cross step!

    It went very smoothly. Zhang Hao pulled horizontally, then stopped suddenly and then pulled horizontally again, easily breaking through Larry Johnson.

    Larry Johnson knew that it was difficult for him to prevent Zhang Hao's breakthrough, but his defense was also targeted, preventing Zhang Hao from going to the middle and forcing Zhang Hao to go off the line.

    John Wallace came in to double attack. When Zhang Hao reached the free throw line, he suddenly grabbed the ball, but it was not a conventional grab, but he held the ball up.

    This made John Wallace and Larry Johnson feel shocked!  They still remembered Zhang Hao's gesture just now.

    However, Zhang Hao picked up the ball, stopped suddenly, raised it, and took a mid-range shot one step inside the free throw line

    That moment of hesitation prevented John Wallace and Larry Johnson from attacking when they were already in the flanking position. Zhang Hao took off smoothly, made a complete and smooth shot, and hit the emergency stop jumper!

    Seeing Zhang Hao immediately retreating after making the shot, the Lakers players did not make any unexpected moves. They just opened up and waited for Zhang Hao to score the ball. Only then did Larry Johnson and John Wallace realize that they had been cheated.  !

    There is no such thing as the No. 9 tactic, Zhang Hao just wants to open up the singles.

    The action Zhang Hao made just now when he picked up the ball and held it up was just Zhang Hao's habit of shooting the ball and then holding it up to shoot when making free throws!

 Chapter 270 270. The so-called conspiracy, those who wish to take the bait!  (7K please monthly ticket!)

    Looking at the thick eyebrows, big eyes, and youthfulness, I didn¡¯t expect that she would play such a little trick!  Compared with the opening game, Zhang Hao has changed a lot. Not only his playing style, but also his style of play seems to have changed a lot.

    They played against the Lakers twice in one year. The Knicks players¡¯ understanding of the Lakers and Lakers players is limited to scouting reports, news, and occasionally watching live broadcasts. They can prepare for tactics, but the feeling of playing against each other  Each different player on each team may feel differently facing the same player on the same team.

    At the beginning of the season, in the opening game, the Knicks players who played against the Lakers felt that there was no big difference between the Lakers and other new teams that had almost changed their lineups. At that time, they were almost the same as the Lakers. They were watching everything.  manage.

    It's now the end of February. In terms of cooperation and tacit understanding, the Knicks' own lineup has basically been perfected under the condition that the lineup is reasonable. The winning rate of nearly 70% is not bad. After all, the starting lineup has changed three players.  .

    "But the Lakers gave the Knicks players a weird feeling.

    The Lakers have a tactical framework, but the Lakers still give them a feeling of "doing everything".

    It was the Knicks' turn to attack. John Starks pushed the ball to the left side of the top arc. Larry Johnson helped Ewing block O'Neal under the basket. Ewing quickly pulled out to the high post on the right side of the free throw line, and Barkley switched out.

    Facing Barkley, Ewing undoubtedly has a huge size advantage. Barkley can hardly prevent Ewing from catching and shooting in mid-range singles.

    But John Starks did not pass the ball, but chose to break through!

    John Starks is a standard individual defender. In addition to his excellent defense, although his offensive organization skills are not good, his scoring ability is outstanding. When he was 28 years old three years ago, he averaged 19 points per game.  The Knicks were the major contributors to reaching the tiebreaker with the Rockets in the 1994 Finals. Although he is now 31 years old, his breakthrough is still sharp!

    Doug Christie knew he couldn't stop him, so he didn't defend. Instead, he followed Zhang Hao's example and relied on his height and wingspan to cover John Starks' shooting space, and followed up with the move.

    John Starks broke through to the right, and Doug Christie was blocked when he followed the arc outside the free throw line!

    John Starks bypassed Ewing and led Barkley, who switched defenses immediately, to the basket!

    Larry Johnson pulled away from the basket to the left side of the three-second zone. O'Neal did not extend out, but stayed under the basket. Fisher actively pulled back and went around to defend Larry Johnson.

    After John Starks reached deep and attracted O'Neal's attention, he passed the ball back. Ewing moved to the right side of the free throw line again, leaned sideways against Doug Christie to receive the ball, turned around and made a mid-range shothit!

    The Knicks' offense was patient, meticulous, and even felt a bit redundant.

    Ewing can obviously score in isolation, but the Knicks create better easy catch-and-shoot opportunities for Ewing through running positions and the movement of other players.

    But Zhang Hao feels that this is not a bad thing for the Knicks. The Lakers players also feel that the Knicks' arrangement is very smart, because it can make it easier for Ewing to play alone!

    The Knicks have been working hard to create a more relaxed shooting environment this season, which has been highly praised by the media, experts, and senior fans. As a result, Jeff Van Gundy has become one of the popular candidates for the best coach.

    Actually, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines didn¡¯t think it was useful at first. Anyway, just follow the teacher and learn from it. If the teacher is so good, you can¡¯t go wrong.

    Before Pat Riley left the Knicks, he told Jeff Van Gundy to use Ewing in this way so that Ewing would play better in the future.

    Jeff Van Gundy began to adjust towards this style of play last season, but the lineup at that time was very different from now. At that time, the core tactics could only rely on Ewing to drive others. Last summer, relying on the former Knicks coach now  This style of play was implemented based on the suggestion of Red Holzman, the consultant to the president of the Knicks, and after successively robbing the Hornets and Nets to form a new lineup.

    Anyway, Jeff Van Gundy admires Pat Riley even more because it really worked.

    Not only is Ewing playing better, but the offensive stability of the Knicks team has been improved. This style of play is still very slow, which is very suitable for them to retreat quickly after taking action.

    Lakers players still feel a headache after returning from the timeout. The defense of the opponent's five players is no worse than in the starting stage!

    Zhang Hao rushed down immediately after Ewing took the shot, but the passing and receiving line was still blocked.

    Fisher steadily advanced to the frontcourt, and after his teammates were in position, he passed the ball to Zhang Hao, who once again came to the left side of the top arc and leaned against Larry Johnson.

    &nbsIt was planned like this, but he actually couldn't sit still, but he had to be steady and play this kind of style of play that he was not good at.

    Any style of play, isn¡¯t it from being bad at it to being good at it

    Now, it depends on which side loses its composure first.

    Older age still has advantages. When the Lakers' opponent John Starks scored 5 points in a row to lead the score, the old fox calmed down, but when the Knicks' offense was interrupted after the official timeout, O'Neal dunked in a single and rotated.  Doug Christie hit a mid-range shot, Jason Williams hit a tip-in and got an extra free throw opportunity. After a 6-0 run that tied the score to 32-29, Jeff Van Gundy sat first.  Can't stand it anymore!

    Neither team made any substitutions during the official timeout, but this time when Jason Williams stepped to the free throw line, the Knicks took the lead in replacing Ewing and Alan Houston!

    Seeing Jason Williams hit the extra free throw, Zhang Hao clapped his hands.

    This is applause for Jason Williams¡¯s excellent second attack, and also a celebrationthe opponent finally bit the hook!

    Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish will take the bait.

    The game has reached this point, and anyone with some tactical understanding can see the current situation.

    The Lakers took the initiative to occupy the game, while the Knicks entered the game passively if conditions allowed.

    There is no bait on the hook, but the shark is chasing after you. You can only get out of the predicament by biting the bait, but if you bite the bait, you will become passive.

    Whichever side takes the initiative to replace the scorer first, the scorer will encounter the fiercest defense in the second half of the second quarter!

    Jeff Van Gundy now knows this very well, but he still can't calm down.

    Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Jason Williams, and O'Neal started the meat grinder mode in the second half of the second quarter!

    At this point in time, the team that replaces the scorer first will actually have the upper hand in opening up the offensive situation, but why have both teams resisted and did not replace the scorer first?  Because an opportunity is just an opportunity, and there is only a probability of improving offensive performance. After all, probability is just a probability.

    No, after Alan Houston and Ewing came on the court, the offensive improvement they brought to the Knicks was not as big as imagined!

    The defense of the Lakers makes Alan Houston and Ewing feel like they are beating the Heat, and this is what happened after they and the Heat pushed their defense to the extreme!

    From 7 minutes and 44 seconds to 10 minutes and 18 seconds in the second quarter, after the Knicks made substitutions, they only scored once in a sports game, and there were no free throws!

    The Lakers were even worse. In two and a half minutes, they only relied on O'Neal to score 1 point by making 1 of 2 free throws.

    33 to 31, the Lakers' lead was reduced by 1 point.

    However, this situation made Del Harris very excited. The other party bit the bait, but he was just hooked. Whether he could get the fish into the net depends on the wrestling behind it.

    Fortunately, they succeeded!

    When the Knicks called a timeout, Del Harris sent out a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Magic, Barkley, and Zhang Hao.

    The Knicks also replaced the combination of John Starks, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley and Ewing in the last minute or so.

    On the Lakers side, the defensive end is determined to squat under the basket, and the opponent likes to shoot from the outside. On the offensive end, Magic and Kenny Anderson serve, Zhang Hao!

    ??Defensive tactics are gambling, so why not offensive tactics?  So betting on Zhang Hao to put the ball into the basket is no different from tactics - excerpted from the book "The Legend of the Silver Fox" by future Lakers coach Del Harris

    Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer with a strong shot, then scored two points with a dunk on a counterattack. He was fouled on a counterattack and made two free throws. In the last 1 minute and 42 seconds, he scored a 7-3 alone!

    At the end of halftime, the Lakers 40 to 34, finally extended their lead to more than 5 points, ending the first half with a 6-point lead!

    It¡¯s really cool!

    Since Zhang Hao entered the NBA, he has never played so easily.

    He can sit on the sidelines for almost a whole quarter in a game where the opponent is strong and the score is tight. This situation is unprecedented!

    This is O'Neal, this is what they did after several games of running-in to determine their explosive power on the defensive end!

    This feeling is so good. Others have paved the way and he comes up to harvest the game. It feels so good!

 Chapter 271 271. No one knows how to overtake the score better than me!  (7K please monthly ticket)

    A successful system never relies on imagination.

    Even if the idea is correct, it is difficult to make in-depth and detailed adjustments without practice.

    Everyone can see that the R¨¦my Martin combination is bound to become a super inside combination that can blow up the sky. In terms of playing style, the two of them are also very compatible.

    But when O'Neal paddles, no one can accurately guess what kind of chemical reaction the two will have.

    Occasionally, we can see excellent cooperation between the two, but every cooperation is different.

    This makes the prospects of the combination of Zhang Hao and O'Neal a little more uncertain.

    Anyone can see that if the two of them don't deal with each other, no matter how close they are to each other, it will be in vain if they are not willing to work together as one.

    However, this uncertainty was shattered after the All-Star weekend, when Zhang Hao and O'Neal really began to work towards the same goal, which was to win, and began to have a chemical reaction.

    But the way the two of them work together is different from what everyone expected!

    The defense in the previous games, as well as the way O'Neal and Zhang Hao teamed up to overtake the score in this game, were beyond the expectations of experts, media, and senior fans!

    In the past, the Lakers' ultimate frontcourt combination has played three major frontcourts, which are as powerful as football's offensive line. Some experts predict that the Lakers will play such an offense.

    The high-low cooperation between Zhang Hao and O'Neal is also considered to be a solution.

    O¡¯Neal, Barkley, and Zhang Hao take turns to attack. This rogue style is also a way to cooperate.

    But it turned out that the XO combination started from the defensive end, and O'Neal played power forward on the defensive end

    And the way the xo team cooperated tonight was that O'Neal went hard and led the team to defend in the regular time, and Zhang Hao came up at the last moment to reap the fruits of O'Neal's efforts.

    On the Knicks side, after Jeff Van Gundy returned to the locker room, he thought that Zhang Hao had gotten a lot of rest time when both sides were severely exhausted, and he could still be in the best condition to attack and counterattack

    Jeff Van Gundy is really clueless!

    The halftime break passed quickly and the players from both teams returned to the court.

    When the starting players of the two teams came on the court in the third quarter, Jeff Van Gundy and his players couldn't help but curse!

    The Knicks sent a combination of Childs, Alan Houston, John Wallace, Larry Sanders and Ewing.

    Opposite, Fisher, Brian Shaw, George Lynch, Jason Williams, O'Nealthis combination is here again!

    The Knicks wanted to try to take advantage in the third quarter to equalize or even overtake the score, but seeing the Lakers' lineup, their hearts froze.

    On the Silver Fox side, I definitely didn¡¯t expect to fight like this at first.

    He initially thought that with their defensive improvement after the All-Star Weekend, they should be able to compete with teams like the Heat, Knicks, and Cavaliers. They had had a close defensive battle with the Cavaliers before.

    However, now I know why the Cavaliers have been evaluated as "becoming mediocre". Their playing style is very similar to the Knicks, but their record is so different, because they have become a weakened version of the Knicks.  , not that they are weaker, but that the Knicks are stronger on both offense and defense.

    At the end of the first quarter, Del Harris actually felt that their defeat was obvious, and he could only take a gamble The gamble won!

    Then, we must continue to play according to the successful style before.

    Just because the tactics are simple and thoroughly studied by the opponent does not mean that this style of play is useless.

    When you are strong enough, what if you are seen through?

    No, the Knicks have sent out a combination of good offense and defense, but they still have nothing to do with the Lakers' defense. They can only accompany them and the Lakers continue to defend.

    In more than 8 minutes, the Lakers scored 10 points and the Knicks scored 11 points. At 8 minutes and 22 seconds of the third quarter, the Knicks, who had just called a timeout two minutes ago, called a timeout again!

    ? 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, this is the data O'Neal got in the first 8 minutes and 22 seconds of the third quarter!

    Under the leadership of O'Neal, the Lakers, who were stubbornly defensive, still maintained a 5-point lead despite the team's ridiculous offense, leading the Knicks by 5 points 50 to 45.

    O¡¯Neal has already scored 18 points, 16 rebounds, 6 blocks and 1 steal!

    It went very well. Del Harris was going to take advantage of the victory and replaced Kenny Anderson with Zhang Hao and Doug Christie. Jason Williams and O'Neal continued to play.

    Send three new troops to take advantage in the third quarter!

    ¡­¡­

    &nbs?, Zhang Hao had already turned around and ran back.

    This was not important, but it became important for Zhang Hao to turn around and retreat, and for the scene to change from lifeless to wild cheers because the goal was scored!

    Zhang Hao's step back was more than half a meter away from the three-point line and he hit a shot-put three-pointer!

    Others on the field were stunned for a moment, and collectively cursed!

    From the time Zhang Hao said "No one knows better than me" to Zhang Hao's shot, it only took two seconds. Even before the Knicks players could react to Zhang Hao's words, Zhang Hao had already  Throw the ball in!

    At this time, will the players on the Knicks think Zhang Hao is too arrogant and arrogant?

    No!

    Especially the old players who stayed with the Knicks last season, they don¡¯t think Zhang Hao is too arrogant at all. This guy last year made the Knicks a permanent fixture of shame in the basketball world.

    The Knicks players have only one thought - the villain is coming again!

    And the Lakers players were a little confused at first. They didn¡¯t talk about it during the break just now, but they said this during the game?  Then, I saw Zhang Hao step back and hit a three-pointer

    Do what you say, be a gentleman!

    At this time, an unnamed son of the Knicks star who had been silent for a long time cheered loudly on the sidelines: "Lakers-go! You have to believe in the light!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 272 272. I just threw the ball in (10,000 words)

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s expressionless face as he ran back and stood under the basket, the Knicks players felt pressure suddenly coming!

    It¡¯s that simple, the opponent uses such a simple way to score!

    Fortunately, the Knicks had such a big advantage after O'Neal left the game injured, and their confidence was very strong, and it was not affected by Zhang Hao's three-pointer.

    Childs still pushed forward steadily through the half, and after his teammates were in position, he lobbed the ball to Larry Johnson.

    Larry Johnson caught the ball and hit Zhang Hao with his back. Obviously, Zhang Hao couldn't guard him. Barkley moved back to double attack. Larry Johnson passed the ball to Charles Oakley on the right side of the three-second zone. The Lakers' defense shrank back, and Charles  -Oakley passed out again, Alan Houston received the ball, turned around, and faced Kenny Anderson who was rushing towards him, turned around and made a mid-range shot!

    In terms of shooting stability after high confrontation, after entering the prime period of his career at the age of 25, few people in the entire NBA can match Alan Houston!

    "Shrink the basket and defend Houston. Others can take long-range shots as long as they want."

    After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the frontcourt.

    The teammates did not surprise or question Zhang Hao's instructions. They knew that there was no need for Zhang Hao to be unable to speak. Since he said it, they could just carry it out.

    Zhang Hao came to the frontcourt. After Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, Larry Johnson directly passed Zhang Hao's ball outside the three-point line.

    In this kind of defense, Zhang Hao directly put his arm against Larry Johnson, turned around and cut in!

    Kenny Anderson fired the ball immediately, and when Zhang Hao rushed to close range, the defender was already blocking him.

    There was no ball distribution. Zhang Hao took off in the face of the double attack and pulled the lever At this time, he felt that he should pull the lever to lift the ball and use his fingers to move the ball. Without hesitation, he did it!

    The ball left his fingertips and flew out lightly, just avoiding the long arm of Larry Johnson who was blocking the shot behind him. It flew to the backboard, bounced and fell into the frame!

    ? 73 to 71, the Lakers once again led by two points.

    Looking back, John Starks hit a three-pointer from the corner.

    It was time for the Lakers to attack again. Zhang Hao faced Larry Johnson's outside line and cut in again. This time Zhang Hao was double-teamed as soon as he received the ball. He might have been blocked for a hard shot. Charles Oakley was able to make up the defense.  soon.

    However, the referee¡¯s whistle blew and the Knicks committed a defensive violation!

    Before Kenny Anderson could pass the ball, Charles Oakley moved towards Zhang Hao, forming a double attack with Larry Johnson. It was a violation of the ball-free double attack!

    The Lakers continue to attack.

    The Magician sent the ball to Kenny Anderson from the left sideline. Kenny Anderson quickly distributed the ball. Zhang Hao received the ball from the right baseline of the three-second zone, turned around and shot a mid-range jumper After the ball was thrown, Zhang Hao was shot by Charles Oakley.  The defense was knocked down.

    "Beep"

    The referee whistle blows!

    This ball must be whistled even if it is called tonight.

    With the referee's whistle, Zhang Hao's ball fell into the basket and hit again!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s personal score increased to 31 points, and there were additional penalties. The Lakers once again overtook the Knicks by 1 point, 75-74.

    The Knicks players are going to collapse!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????: ???????????????????????????????????: ????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????

    Originally, because they had Alan Houston and Ewing, they liked the rule of prohibiting early flanking.

    But from this rule, Alan Houston obviously does not benefit as much as Zhang Hao!

    The Knicks team had already flanked Zhang Hao as soon as he received the ball, but such a defense would certainly not prevent Zhang Hao from making a shooting move.

    If you attack in advance, you will be called a violation again!

    Seeing Zhang Hao, who showed no expression at all after scoring 7 points, walking to the free throw line, the Knicks players felt like they were going to explode.

    The Knicks¡¯ defense in the last quarter was no worse than that in the first three quarters. Since there were more people available, their physical impact was not great. Otherwise, they would not have been able to defend the opponent and only score 7 points in the first half of the fourth quarter.

    But, just like that, Zhang Hao still scored 10 points in a single quarter. As Zhang Hao made an extra free throw, his score in the single quarter increased to 11 points, and the total score increased to 32 points, the Knicks called a timeout!

    The fans at the scene are already excited!

    There was a junior high school student on the sidelines holding an Ultraman

    What does it mean to turn the tide?

    This is Zhang Hao!

    Because O'Neal was injured and left the game, the Lakers' defense collapsed in the third quarter, and the team's offensive ratioHao looked at the rewards he received after last night's game.

    "This is the light:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, special signing player Zhang Hao needs to help the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the New York Knicks.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the basic reward: Medal Upgrade Card (Silver).

    Because Zhang Hao scored 17 of the Lakers¡¯ 19 points at the last minute, congratulations to the host for receiving an advanced reward: the conditions limit the number of designated silver draws to 1.  "

    Zhang Hao struggled with medal upgrades for a while last night. After completing the review of last night's game in learning mode early this morning, he struggled with it for a long time.

    The next game hasn¡¯t started yet, so I have time to struggle with it, and I really struggle with it.

    That condition limited the number of designated draws. Originally, he wanted to save it and draw again when needed in future competitions. At this stage, even if he drew the medal, he would not have time to adapt to study, such as the medal he had received with Nash before.  There is no time to develop medals related to hand and foot layups.

    But, this lottery is different

    "Silver Lottery (1) (restrictions): It can consume 90 days of life, and is designated to draw defensive skill cards converted into random player characteristics of the New York Knicks in the 1996-1997 season; if the restriction does not apply to the designated right, it will be regarded as the number of ordinary draws.  "

    ???????????? This, I don¡¯t have to worry about it, it¡¯s just that after returning home from the game last night, I was busy taking a shower and going to bed After arriving at the hotel in Atlanta, Zhang Hao took a shower at noon and put on the white hotel nightgown

    "Next time, I want to buy a Taoist robe, and the Sanqing Taoist ancestors will bless me The system boss, use the silver lottery, the kind of krypton life!"

    "The host uses the restrictions to specify the number of silver draws once Congratulations to the host for winning the Silver Medal: Bottom Line Ruler"

    Note: New effect for gold level: double team bonus.  "

    In the past, all the medals I got were offensive medals, and there was only one defensive medal, which was for getting blocked and grabbing rebounds.

    Finally, we have a serious defensive medal!

    It¡¯s just the small forward probably won¡¯t be able to play for a long time. He¡¯s already 206 centimeters tall. Zhang Hao admitted it.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????How can the center position become more and more stable?

    Forget it, it¡¯s better than nothing.

    The four major centers each have their own characteristics. Olajuwon's offensive skills are as gorgeous as those of a small forward, David Robinson has strong athletic ability and excellent shooting, O'Neal is invincible and has exquisite skills at the basket, and Ewing is known as the center template in terms of offense  But they have one thing in common, they are both good at offense and defense!

    Everyone's defensive characteristics are also different. Olajuwon is very capable of one-on-one defense and team defense, and is very good at stealing. David Robinson is particularly good at defending the big and small when switching defenses. O'Neal is very mobile and diligent.  At one o'clock, close defense is like sweeping. Ewing's defensive area is relatively small, but he also has his unique skills-the ability to block shots and steal in the baseline area.

    So far in his career, he has averaged 2.7 blocks per game and 1.1 steals per game. Most of them are completed by moving the baseline. Switching defenses to the outside is not bad, but it is not a bad level. The best thing about Ewing's defense is that he is a defender.  The ability of the last barrier.

    This is also the reason why he becomes the background every now and then.

    The inside players on the attacking side can also help the outside players break into teammates. They can block the opponent's inside line by blocking the position and grabbing the board, allowing the intruding players to have better inside shooting space.

    But Ewing often uses his league-leading back-turn to pass through the blocking position and complete the blockor turn into the basket and become the background.

    When thinking about this, Zhang Hao remembered an NCAA game he watched in December last year. A certain unnamed No. 21 player of the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons often defended like this. It is said that he was in his sophomore season.  During the offseason, he went to Georgetown University to study with the famous coach John Thompson.

    John Thompson is not only a famous coach, but also a former NBA player. He is 208 centimeters tall and was a center in the 1960s.

    Limited by his physical fitness, he had many of the fantastic ideas of that era that he could not use. Later, Ewing, Mutombo, Mourning and others became the mainstream center technology in today's league.

    Looking at the upgrade prompt in "Note", Zhang Hao felt that it would be better not to prompt at all!

    Doesn¡¯t this make people feel itchy?

    But he still couldn't help but think - if he had swept the last 19 points and made a comeback with absolute single-handedness, would it have been the designated number of gold-level draws?

    Forget it, it¡¯s good to be able to win and complete the task. Looking at my latest scoring average, I have played 55 games and averaged 31.1 points per game. Last night¡¯s 41 points increased my scoring average by two points.

    Opening the system subtitles and looking at the scoring list this season, Jordan averaged 31.5 points per game

    "It's higher than what I remember when Jordan won his second championship in the last three consecutive years! Hey he's so old and he's still competing with us youngsters"

    The further you get to the back, the harder it will be to chase points, but there are still 27 games left, so it¡¯s hard to say!

    Putting this aside for now, Zhang Hao looked at his existing medals.

    Counting on his fingers, if he hadn¡¯t just received a Silver Medal, he would have almost the least Silver Medal!

    There are now three gold medals: kill, king of jump shots, and solo riding.

    There are three silver medals: pick-and-roll enforcer, bottom line ruler, and homecoming.

    ??The remaining penalty area dominance, deep pace, strongest first step, king of cross steps, magical finisher, rebound protector, dunk master, Malone's elbow, and Peter Pan's physical pool are all bronze medals.

    There are also a few more special ones, such as Provocation, Villain Gentleman, Jabbar¡¯s Health Skills, and Acting School, which do not have direct bonuses. Some of them have no level, and some cannot be upgraded with upgrade cards.

    There is a silver upgrade card. Zhang Hao saw in the bronze medal, Malone's Elbow, Peter Pan's stamina pool, the king of cross steps, and the strongest first step. There is currently no upgrade option

    I didn¡¯t notice it before, but now Zhang Hao suddenly discovered that there are only 5 medal upgrade cards available!  The five areas such as penalty area dominance, deep pace, dunk master, rebound protector, and magical finisher can be upgraded. The others must be passed through any process.?, always like to regret the past.

    But, in the next time, it is unlikely to change.

    "Hey, I'm already this old. Why do I think about this? I'm not like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who can kill FMVP at the age of 38."

    Seeing his teammates arriving at the gym one after another, Wilkins went to greet his new teammates.

    ¡­¡­

    Wilkins may not be able to call every player on the Lakers by name, but every player on the Lakers knows Wilkins.

    At 7:10 pm, when the players from the two teams entered the stadium, many fans were shouting "the-human-highlight-film" excitedly.

    Before, O'Neal was injured and the Lakers suffered two consecutive losses. Lakers fans were going crazy.

    Before O'Neal was injured, Lakers fans saw real dominance from their team, and they lost two games in a row.

    At this time, Wilkins joined, and the negative emotions of the fans were wiped away!

    Similarly, for the Lakers players, this is no different from being happy. Everyone is excited that such a strong veteran has joined.

    Byron Scott requested a truce tonight. At his age, he originally came back to provide experience. Who knew he would become the main force, averaging 8.2 points per game. In the regular season, he was fine when he played offense and defense.  His old arms and legs are not working very well. He has learned this as his playing time has dropped sharply in the past few games after the All-Star break and his role is obviously not as important as that of the rookie Fisher.

    Wilkins has been a substitute for the Spurs. Popovich felt that he led the team to win too many games When he came to the Lakers, of course he continued to play as a substitute.

    Wilkins has no objection to this, and he doesn¡¯t want to disrupt the team¡¯s style of play.

    Just like Payton and Malone joined the Lakers to form F4 in the original time and space, former superstars are always more popular when they come to hug you.

    On the other side, Sharif Rahim, the young new core of the Raptors, looked at the opposite side with joy and felt sad

    We graduated from high school in the same year and participated in an Adidas training camp together. As a result, we entered the NBA. The guy opposite him who was a month younger than him was showing off every day, while he, Raheem, was getting beaten all day long!

    Counting tonight, there will be three more games against the Lakers this season. Rahim thought of the tragic scene in the last game. This time, it shouldn't be so miserable!

    "We are brothers!"

    For Zhang Hao, Rahim has no bad feelings. He is polite and quiet. He is the type of friend Rahim likes very much.

    But when it came time to compete with Zhang Hao, after playing against him once, I was really a little scared.

    At this moment, Rahim suddenly felt a cold breath coming from his back

    He saw Zhang Hao suddenly looking at him!  Eyes are shining!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 274 274. As long as courage and enthusiasm are not wiped out (9.6K monthly votes requested)

    After taking a look at Rahim, Zhang Hao looked away.

    ¡°Specially signed player Zhang Hao will play against Sharif Rahim, and the mission is to trigger the rookies¡¯ nightmare.

    Rookies¡¯ nightmare:

    Task target: Sharif Rahim, Rookie of the Month in December 1996.

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers beat the Grizzlies by at least 29 points (the total point difference of the Lakers' two consecutive losses).

    Reward: 1 bronze draw.

    Failure penalty: When Zhang Hao faces a task object and fails to complete the task, the next time he encounters an object that can trigger the task goal, the task object will enter the hyper mode, ignoring the fear of the host, and it will be easier to find the shooting touch.  "

    The task that was triggered this time was not to catch Rahim alone and bully him. It was just because he was playing against the Grizzlies and met Rahim that the task happened to be triggered, so he took a look at Rahim.

    ¡°As everyone knows, this scares Rahim so much!

    However, the task is really not that easy to complete. Winning should not be a big problem. The Grizzlies have played 58 games so far, with 8 wins and 50 losses. This record cannot be explained by poor strength. In terms of lineup, the Raptors are not comparable.  The Grizzlies are no better, but they still have 22 wins. In this season where a lot of teams are bad, if a team really wants to win, no matter how bad it is, it cannot do so after playing 58 games.  Only won 8 games.

    Winning is definitely no problem. Zhang Hao concluded that even if the Lakers were in extremely bad shape tonight, the Grizzlies would take the initiative to play even worse, but it is not easy to make up their mind to torture the opponent for 30 points.  !

    Just when Zhang Hao was thinking about how to cheer up his teammates to beat the Grizzlies, Barkley came next to him and asked in a sinister voice: "Akers, how are you going to play Lashi this time?"  Mu?"

    Looking at Barkley¡¯s inexplicable sinister expression what does it mean to play with Raheem?  Is he Zhang that kind of person?

    Zhang Hao firmly opposed this kind of thing: "Mr. Barkley, how can you bully a rookie? We lost by 29 points in the first two games, so we just need to beat them by 30 points."

    When Barkley heard the previous sentence, he seemed to be swearing - How dare you say this?

    But the second half of the sentence is still familiar to the gentleman.

    How many points you have to make up for lost points has already been calculated!

    Barkley smoothed his ponytail mohawk and called his teammates who were already eager to try together to discuss how to ravage Rahim.

    Zhang Hao didn't say how he was going to beat Raheem, but Rahim is the strongest player on the Grizzlies. He has averaged 19.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block per game so far this season. If he wants to beat the Grizzlies, he can't avoid it.  Him.

    Zhang Hao wants to complete the mission, and his teammates need a target to vent to Rahim comes at the right time!

    Listening to the new teammates discussing how to beat the talented rookie on the opposite side, and how to massacre the opponent around the rookie, Wilkins called him professional!

    However, although I have heard that Zhang Hao likes to bully newcomers and his contemporaries, this is too

    Wilkins had a good impression of Zhang Hao, but he didn¡¯t have any bad feelings towards Zhang Hao because of it.

    From a certain perspective, Wilkins saw the cohesion of the new team Originally, he had already prepared when he came to the Lakers. He saw that the 14 players in the Lakers team could make up 28 small circles, and the superstar  They split up and joined forces, and the players were infighting But on the first day he joined the Lakers, he discovered that his judgment seemed to be terribly wrong.

    Barkley seemed to be just interested in how to play. His hairstyle was really eye-catching. He was accompanied by two younger brothers, Byron Scott and Brian Shaw. Byron Scott wore a dreadlocks wig and cloth.  Ryan Shaw wears a round wig Does this look like a golfer?

    Kenny Anderson was still talkative in the afternoon, but when it was time to play, his brows were furrowed, as if he was constipated.

    Magic Johnson takes a back seat and likes to tell his teammates how brilliant he was before he was 31 years old.

    Zhang Hao is taciturn, but what do the fans on the sidelines mean?  When Zhang Hao went to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder, the atmosphere was like a rock concert, with fans holding light signs!

    "What am I worried about? No I should be worried, did I choose the wrong team? Is this team really a championship team No, is this really a basketball team?"

    ¡­¡­

    Soon, at 7:30 in the evening, the Lakers started their second back-to-back home game against the Grizzlies.

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Barkley, and Zhang Hao.

    The Grizzlies sent out Greg Anthony, Anthony Peeler, Raheem, RonaldoThere has been a lot of criticism, and Zhang Hao can't do anything about it. Although he is a player of his own company, his strength is there.

    Zhang Hao has the impression that Ben Wallace only really gained a foothold in the NBA during the shortened season. Later, he was spotted by the Magic, and then he became valuable and was used by the Magic to trade for Grant Hill.

    In these two games, Ben Wallace only encountered discussion. Winning can cover up a lot of things.

    On March 7, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Rockets at home.

    Tonight, Olajuwon and Divac started looking for fouls from Ben Wallace, because Del Harris didn't care how many times Ben Wallace fouled, he just felt that Ben Wallace worked hard enough.  Give a chance. The main point is to use Ben Wallace's characteristics of active rushing, good physical fitness, and keen sense of blocking shots at mid-range and short range to help the team build a defensive system. So how many fouls does Ben Wallace commit? Del-  Harris won't replace him early.

    Anyway, Ben Wallace will not be allowed to play at the critical moment later.

    Then, Ben Wallace quickly committed three fouls in the first quarter

    This caused the Lakers to fall into a foul crisis in the first quarter, and were beaten 33-21 by the Rockets at the beginning, falling behind by 12 points in the first quarter!

    Although the Lakers played quite well offensively, Zhang Hao scored 28 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Barkley had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Kenny Anderson had 12 points and 9 assists, and Wilkins came off the bench to get 2 points.  With 13 points and Doug Christie's 11 points and 3 assists, the Lakers scored 104 points, but still lost to the Rockets' 111 points.

    The Lakers lost at home by 7 points. After 60 games, their record was 47 wins and 13 losses.

    ¡­¡­

    Winning can cover up a lot of things, but losing a lot of things will be revealed and speculated.

    The media and fans have to find a way to vent their losses, especially when the Lakers lost to the Rockets, who they may encounter in the second round. The Rockets defeated the Lakers in the playoffs last season and the finals last season.  O'Neal's team has to find ways to make up for it.

    The one who took the blame was naturally Ben Wallace.

    Even if you lose, time will not stop. On the morning of March 8, April Clark sent Zhang Hao to the airport. Zhang Hao met his teammates and will leave for the away game. It will be a back-to-back immediately.

    At this time, losing will have little impact on Zhang Hao. Even if the opponent is the Rockets, it will have no impact. How can he have the time to care about losing a game.

    However, from meeting at the airport to getting on the plane Zhang Hao discovered that their team's rookie with an afro kept his head down

    Ben Wallace is very frustrated now. He is trying very hard to seize the opportunity. Although he knows that he will return to the bench after O'Neal returns, he wants to seize the rare opportunity. The boss said that any opportunity  Don't miss him, maybe relying on his performance at one stage, when the team needs manpower in the future, the management and coaching staff will be the first to think of him.

    But he messed up

    After getting on the plane, Ben Wallace sat in the corner, listening to the lively sound of his teammates playing cards. He could not feel the joy of the past, he only felt noisy

    Just when Ben Wallace was extremely frustrated, someone sat down in the empty seat next to him It was the boss!

    Before Ben Wallace could speak, he heard Zhang Hao speak first.

    "As long as you have courage in your heart, as long as your enthusiasm remains, and as long as you are still working hard, I believe that one day, the light will shine on you."

    Before Ben Wallace could answer, Zhang Hao left after finishing speaking.

    "Will the light shine on me one day?"

    Sometimes, it is very simple to regain a person's courage.

    There is no need to wait for "one day", at this moment, Ben Wallace feels like he has seen the light!

    ¡­¡­

    Asking for a monthly ticket!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 275 275. The Diligent Shark Returns (10,000 words for monthly votes)

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away?

    Of course it¡¯s impossible.

    ¡°But it allows Ben Wallace to continue to persevere, allows him to withstand the pressure brought by public opinion, and

    After arriving in Indianapolis, he said in an interview: "The reason for losing to the Rockets was me. Although my teammates never blamed me, I know it is because I am not strong enough. I will continue to work hard.  Do whatever I can to help the team.¡±

    Ben Wallace is not a fool. When he broke away from pure depression, he knew that he could not give up his efforts. Some people were paying attention to him and others were looking forward to his growth. This person may still be the most talented genius in the history of basketball.  , he bounced back.

    He also wanted to understand that at this stage, in addition to replacing O'Neal's starting stage and other defensive stages, the head coach gave him a chance, but the head coach also had another idea, perhaps to hold him responsible for losing.

    No matter whether he takes the responsibility or not, he will always bear the blame, so he might as well take the initiative.

    If you want anything, you have to pay something. Ben Wallace has no complaints about this. Starting from March 1, his basic salary contract of US$250,000 will be fully guaranteed. With so much money, he must do something.  Make a contribution.

    After a night¡¯s rest, at 5 o¡¯clock in the evening on March 9, the Lakers¡¯ away game against the Pacers started.

    There are many bad teams this year, and there are also many embarrassing teams.

    The Pacers played so well last year. In the offseason, they traded Ricky Pierce for Jaylen Rose, an outstanding scoring guard, and also selected Dampier, a backup center with very good defense and combat ability.  They are rushing to win the championship, just like the Warriors didn't expect that they wouldn't even make the playoffs at the beginning of the season.

    But their record isn¡¯t particularly bad, so they don¡¯t have the conditions to give it a try now.

    Larry Bird, who is sitting on the sidelines, is feeling crazy now. He did not renew the contract with Mark Jackson last summer. It was indeed a big mistake, but he has done it and there is nothing he can do about it. Now he has made up for it with the trade.

    However, at the beginning of the season, when the record was at its worst, they had no chance to try like the Spurs, but their coach Larry Brown just wanted to win.

    Now, their Pacers team is 27 wins and 33 losses, tenth in the Eastern Conference, basically has nothing to do with Duncan, but they can't make the playoffs.

    Playing against the Lakers tonight, the Pacers' defense is okay, but because of many transactions this year, the players have been in a mess. Head coach Larry Brown is always dissatisfied with this player and that player.  He loves to curse, sprays the sky and the air every time he loses, and his relationship with the players becomes very tense

    Looking at the Lakers, the lineup has been stable so far this season. They would rather have their strength be affected and let Ben Wallace replace O'Neal and continue to improve their defense. The goal is clear and the direction of progress is right for Larry Bird.

    ??Look at Larry Brown of their own team. This coach is great, but whenever something goes wrong, it is not his fault, but the fault of others.

    And, as far as what Larry Brown has done as a coach

    Larry Bird knocked on his head, and an idea came to his mind - "What Brown can do, I can do it too. Why do I feel like I can do better?"

    ¡­¡­

    The game against the Pacers was not an easy one, but the Lakers finally relied on Zhang Hao and Barkley to hit consecutive mid-range shots at critical moments. They went on an 8-3 run in the last 2 minutes and 11 seconds, and the Lakers finally won 92-92.  85 away victory over the Pacers!

    Zhang Hao scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Barkley scored 17 points and 14 rebounds, Jason Williams scored 7 points and 10 rebounds, Wilkins came off the bench to score 11 points, and Doug Christie scored  9 points. Kenny Anderson didn't play long tonight because Brian Shaw played so well and defended better. Brian Shaw scored 7 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists tonight.

    Zhang Hao's words did not substantially improve Ben Wallace's performance tonight. Ben Wallace played 16 minutes, scored 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block, and suffered 3 fouls. His efficiency was very high.  Still low.

    But at this time, Ben Wallace still maintains his previous enthusiasm for rushing, which is enough for the Lakers, and it can be seen that he is actively learning and making up for the mid-range to Antonio Davis.  Remember the big hat, it's pretty good.

    Del Harris just wanted Ben Wallace to learn O'Neal's defensive moves and continue to hone his defensive coordination, find someone to take the blame, and at the same time give Ben Wallace, a hard-working undrafted player, a chance.  The burden of winning falls on an undrafted rookie. The ones who have to bear the responsibility of winning are Zhang Hao, Barkley, Kenny Anderson and other stars. Therefore, no matter how bad Ben Wallace plays, he can only win.?¡ªWhy do I have to make way for this guy to come here during the physical test?

    I wonder if I feel more comfortable at that training ground?

    After Zhang Hao approached, O'Neal immediately said: "Akers, I will play the day after tomorrow. You don't have to worry anymore that you can't guard Mourning!"

    The tone was very arrogant and the attitude was very bad, but what he said was exactly what Zhang Hao wanted to hear!

    Zhang Hao nodded decisively: "I understand, Mr. O'Neill, Mourning will be left to you to deal with."

    "" O'Neal was speechless for a moment and really didn't know how to reply.

    At this time, O'Neill noticed the box Zhang Hao was carrying and asked, "What is this?"

    Zhang Hao handed the box to O'Neill: "It's your birthday on the 6th. I bought this gift in Jersey City. Happy birthday to you, Mr. O'Neill."

    O¡¯Neill was stunned for a moment, but he still took it, opened it, and saw that it wasa violin!

    O'Neill took out the violin, feeling extremely complicated - this kid actually remembered his birthday

    By the way, his treatment and restorative training these days are all at home and he has not come to the arena. He only came to meet Wilkins when Wilkins joined at the end of last month.

    It¡¯s just that O¡¯Neill¡¯s violin, which he can hold with one hand, is not that the violin is small, but that it is too big!

    The mood is even more complicated. This is a gift. It doesn¡¯t look very cheap. It¡¯s quite exquisite. But what¡¯s the use of holding such an instrument?

    This violin is like a toy in his hand, and this bow is like a slingshot in his hand!

    With mixed emotions, O'Neal said: "Thank you."

    The other party accepted it, Zhang Hao achieved his goal, said sorry, and left with satisfaction

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    On March 18, the Lakers came to Miami.

    Last night, when the Lakers were still in Los Angeles, the Heat defeated the Pacers at home, reaching 50 wins and a record of 50 wins and 16 losses, becoming the fourth team to win 50 games this season.  Team.

    Tomorrow night¡¯s second meeting between the Lakers and Heat this season has attracted widespread attention.

    Today, the day before the game, a large number of tourists flooded into Miami, just to watch this focus game that may be a preview of the finals.

    Although the Bulls currently rank first in the league with 55 wins and 11 losses, they do not have an advantage in winning against every opponent. There are two teams that have an advantage in winning against the Bulls this season. These two teams  The teams are the Lakers and Heat.

    The Heat beat the Bulls with 3 wins and 1 loss, and the Lakers beat the Bulls with 2 wins and 0 losses.

    Although many people want to see the Bulls successfully defend their title and are eager to see the Bulls create a dynasty again, there are more people who do not want to see the Bulls continue to win the championship and do not want to see Jordan continue to dominate the league.

    In addition, the game itself is enough to attract attention.

    To the regret of the fans, the head guard of the Lakers, Kenny Anderson, was injured. In the past two games, the Lakers' point guard was started by Fisher, a mediocre rookie

    But this time, both O'Neal and Mourning can play, and they still attract much attention.

    O'Neal and Mourning are both injured this season. However, unlike O'Neal, Mourning's injuries do not require him to miss two or three weeks like O'Neal. Mourning has minor injuries caused by fatigue.  Ning will not miss the game, and almost all games with injuries are against weak teams.

    As the saying goes, the No. 2 pick must have something to lose. This does not apply to the 1992 class.

    Although the two have been injured continuously this season, their performance is not bad. Even if they have many injuries, they are still contenders for the best lineup.

    So far this season, Mourning has played 50 games, averaging 35 minutes per game, scoring 20.4 points, 10 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. When he is on the court, the Heat have limited opponents to only 93 points per 100 possessions, ranking third in the league.  one!

    O¡¯Neal has played 35 games this season, averaging 33 minutes per game, scoring 23.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.2 blocks. When he is on the court, the Lakers can score 118 points per 100 possessions, ranking first in the league!

    The strongest spear and the strongest shield inside fight against each other!

    The Heat's overall defense is strong, and its stars have excellent singles distribution capabilities. In addition to Mourning, there are also Tim Hardaway, Mashburn, Voshan Leonard, Dan Marley, Isaac Austin, and Key.  Atkins, Sasha Danilovich the lineup is luxurious; in addition to O'Neal, the Lakers also have Zhang Hao, Barkley, Magic, Wilkins, Doug Christie, Jason  Williams and others are also very good.

    The Lakers are missing their point guard and are at a disadvantage, but fans and media feel that the Lakers still have a chance to win because O'Neal is back and the Lakers have Zhang Hao!

    Although the media often fabricate conflicts between Zhang Hao and O'Neal, there is a very interesting data - when O'Neal plays, Zhang Hao's scoring average increases!

    ?Through expert analysis, the reason why O'Neal's scoring average increased when playing against Zhang Hao is quite simple. When O'Neal plays, the Lakers love their main star more on the offensive end The key is that the effect is really good!

    After arriving in Miami, the Lakers held two training sessions in the afternoon.

    After a night¡¯s rest, on the morning of March 19, the Lakers came to the American Airlines Center again.

    This time, Jenny Buss, the team¡¯s vice president of commercial operations, also came to the away game with the team.

    Before the start of the morning pre-match meeting, Jenny Buss also came to the visiting team meeting room.

    "We have 51 wins and 15 losses. Whether it is our management, coaching staff, or fans, they are all satisfied with this record. There are still 16 games left, and we do not require a certain record. Of course  We cannot slack off because of this. I have discussed it with the boss. If we can win 60 games, this year the team will give the same bonus as the bonus given by the league"

    After talking for a long time, Jenny Buss just hoped that the team could win 60 games and started to use money to motivate the players.

    But it does have an effect, money, who doesn¡¯t like it?

    And the goal of 60 wins has been announced, so naturally there are players who want to achieve it.

    Who doesn¡¯t want to have a better record?

    ?? 60 wins may only be achieved by one or two teams in a season, and in some seasons there may not even be a single 60-win team.

    The logo man who also played with the team listened to Jenny Buss¡¯ words and wanted to spit out ten thousand words - isn¡¯t the boss your dad?  In terms of operations, your dad listens to you so much. Isn¡¯t this just a matter of your words?

    But it¡¯s really attractive.

    After the start of the Magic Birds Championship, NBA revenue increased sharply. In the 1970s and 1980s, many players signed extremely long contracts, such as Magic, who signed a contract of 1 minute, 25 years and 25 million U.S. dollars. Later, in 1984,  He applied to the league to re-sign, and it became 10 years and 25 million US dollars, and he signed it until the 1993-1994 season.

    But not every player can be treated like Magic. After entering the NBA, he will receive a salary of 25 million U.S. dollars a year for 25 years. At that time, the basic salary contract was usually 30,000 to 50,000 U.S. dollars a year, hundreds of thousands.  The salary of more than 200,000 US dollars is the salary of the main players, but the signing is too long.

    Therefore, the league set up a bonus pool in the 1982-83 season. A sum of money was allocated based on the total revenue of the previous season and distributed to the teams that reached the playoffs, the teams that advanced in the playoffs, and the final total.  Championship teams and more.

    The total bonus pool in the first year was US$1.7 million. The 1982-83 championship Philadelphia 76ers received a total of US$470,000 in bonuses that season. The 76ers had 29 players + coaching staff + key staff members that season.  As for the bonus, no one had more than $10,000, which was not bad in those days.

    By last season, the total bonus pool had reached US$6.1 million, and the Bulls finally received US$1.68 million in bonuses.

    The bonus pool that has been booked for this season is US$6.44 million. The bonuses for the first place in the Eastern and Western regular seasons are the same. If the Lakers can finally enter the playoffs as the first place in the Western Conference, they will get 100% of the bonus pool.  Five-fifths of the bonus is hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    16 games, just win 9 of them.

    And the goal of the Lakers players is not just 60 winsif they can win more, of course they have to win more!

    At 5:40 in the evening, after the warm-up, Zhang Hao entered the court with his teammates.

    After entering the venue, watching the two great centers, the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick in 1992, exchanging greetings, and watching Magic and Barkley chatting and laughing with the opposing stars, Zhang Hao took a look at the evaluation of the opponent's players The defense is really good, better than the Knicks.  The team had to be good

    This time when he came to Miami, Mourning didn¡¯t invite him to dinner, but he also called him.

    The reason why I didn¡¯t invite you to dinner is that the Heat just played a game the day before yesterday. I had a rest in the morning yesterday and was preparing for the game in the afternoon.

    After the All-Star weekend, every team's time is very tight, Zhang Hao can understand, and their Lakers team was also very busy yesterday. O'Neal had just come back and was about to play against a top team like the Heat. Kenny Anderson was also injured.  A lot of pressure.

    The key is that we lost to the Heat once before. If we lose again this time, we will be swept in the regular season!

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t think the Heat have a chance to reach the finals, but others don¡¯t think so.

    And Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t want to be swept. Even in the regular season, if he wants to win, the pressure is not small.

    However, Lu Xun once said - without pressure, there is no motivation.

    There was a lot of pressure, but when it came time to compete, Zhang Hao regarded this pressure asThe 37-year-old veteran Ben Meili and Wilkins also have an advantage in the confrontation with Sasha Danilovich, the white shooting guard.

    This time it was James Robinson guarding the top arc, and Zhang Hao retreated to the basket.

    Can¡¯t guard against it!  He originally wanted to give it a try to see if he could complete the task of "183 Enemies" at the beginning by preventing Tim Hardaway from changing direction and breaking through. The Silver Fox also wanted to try, but at the beginning Zhang Hao felt  It's difficult to defend, so it's better to leave it to the faster James Robinson.

    Unlike Zhang Hao¡¯s defensive strategy, James Robinson has no defensive ability, he is just fast. When Tim Hardaway reached a position one meter away from the three-point line, James Robinson followed up.

    Tim Hardaway is very good at long-range three-pointers. The year he won the three-pointer title, the 1994-95 season, the NBA three-point line has not been shortened. This year, he averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game, perfect attendance, and no one made any shots.  How many super long three-pointers have been achieved in the eyes of others.

    This gives Tim Hardaway an extremely wide space to break through. Zhang Hao just defended him on the three-point line.

    James Robinson's defensive action was very rough, regardless of the foul issue, but the referee did not call it. Tim Hardaway easily crossed the step and broke into the inside. James Robinson followed closely, and Tim Hardaway burst into three seconds.  When the left side of the zone stepped on the three-second zone line, O'Neal was in place to defend!

    Tim Hardaway was already prepared to distribute the ball. PJ Brown took a few steps forward, received the ball at the baseline one step outside the left side of the three-second zone, and shot a jumper from close range

    "Snapped¡­¡­"

    Tim Hardaway, who was passing the ball, and PJ Brown, who was catching and shooting, thought the ball was a sure shot, but the ball was blown out of the sideline by Zhang Hao!

    Zhang Hao raised his elbow to resist Mourning's blocking position, turned around and passed Mourning, quickly bounced up, pounced directly from the left side of the reasonable collision area, and slapped away PJ Brown's short-range jumper!

    Seeing O'Neal turning his head and opening his mouth wide, and seeing Zhang Hao's calm expression after blocking the shot, the Heat players were very surprised!

    They have repeatedly studied the Lakers' defense during their six-game winning streak after the All-Star Weekend, and specially sent out a better offensive lineup tonight just to deal with XO's strong mid-range and near-basket defense.

    The Heat are ready to deal with O'Neal's super mobility and his strong sense of defense that has not been shown in the Magic before. The Heat are also ready to deal with Zhang Hao's sense of blocking shots under the basket.

    But I didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Hao¡¯s close-range defense would actually improve!

    Not to mention the Heat players, O'Neal felt that the ball was going to be lost. He challenged PJ Brown in the mid-range, but PJ Brown was very conscious and Tim Hardaway's passing with the ball was also great.  Mourning should be stuck with Zhang Hao under the basket.

    But Zhang Hao actually completed a beautiful block!

    This ball is a great morale booster!

    The Heat still have the ball, but there are 8 seconds left in the attack time. James Robinson is 27 years old and at the peak of his athletic ability and technology. His speed of 93 is quite good. This time he prevented Tim Hardaway from receiving the serve.

    pj-Brown served the ball to Mashburn.

    Mashburn received the ball and started playing singles. Facing Doug Christie's defense, although he successfully broke into the baseline shooting area, this was the position Mashburn reached under the guidance of Doug Christie.

    It was indeed a bit hasty in the singles before the teammates were completely in position. Mashburn's throw was slapped on the backboard by O'Neal!

    Nail board hat!

    The main reason to be able to prevent the Heat's attack was Zhang Hao's unexpected big block before.

    It¡¯s time for the Lakers offense.

    It is obvious that the defenses of the two teams are very different. The reason why "iron-blooded" has become a term for NBA defense is not to say that good defense can be called "iron-blooded" and "strong confrontation" can be called "iron-blooded".

    When the Lakers defended just now, they stepped up their confrontation, but when the Heat defended, the confrontation escalated to the point of a fight!

    O'Neal wanted to get a deeper position inside, but Mourning raised his arms and refused. The two were entangled. Zhang Hao just received the ball outside the three-point line. The referee's whistle came and there was a foul on both sides!

    Before the game, the two were still brothers, but now they looked like they were about to fight, butting heads against each other.

    Players from both teams also gathered around.

    Zhang Hao threw the ball to the referee and walked up quickly.

    The referee was blocking other people who were surrounding him, but Zhang Hao hit him on the head with a ball. He turned around to see which bastard did it, and saw Zhang Hao quickly walking towards the two people who were having the conflict. He immediately blew the whistle and gestured to Zhang Hao.  He pointed at Zhang Hao with a t gestureand then regretted it

    Zhang Hao stepped forward, raised his arms, and pushed the two of them away.

    Hearing the referee blow the whistle again, he turned around to see which unlucky guy was whistled. If someone was whistled at this time, it must be a technical offender.

    Then, he saw the referee pointing at someone Zhang!

 Chapter 277 277. Gentleman¡¯s version of the pick-and-roll (6K monthly votes requested)

    No one wants to fight in the game. The confrontation is just to show toughness, and the conflict is just a matter of face At this time, the face issue is likely to be developed into a real fight by the atmosphere of the scene, blood, etc., and one person needs to stop it. Under normal circumstances, it is  The referee came up and blocked the middle, or the teammates on both sides pulled him.

    Like now, the confrontation between O'Neal and Mourning was too great when they were blocked. Neither side gave in. Before they could fight, Zhang Hao came up and violently separated the two with a pair of iron elbows, and the two stopped continuing.  .

    At this time, the referee's whistle sounded. They both thought that they were called for a technical foul, but who knew that Zhang Hao was called for a technical foul!

    Regardless of anything else, seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes widened, the two super centers in the 1992 class thought it was so funny. Zhang Hao¡¯s expression is something you rarely see!

    It¡¯s a good thing that Zhang Hao didn¡¯t wear the No. 21 jersey, otherwise if he glared at the referee like this, the referee would have made another technical foul.

    The referee was a little embarrassed at this time. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after he had just called a foul, Zhang Hao followed the rules and passed the ball to him, the referee, and then went to start a fight. He did not notice the ball flying over and returned it to him.  A technical foul was committedbut even though he was called, what else could he do? The referee signaled the Heat to take a technical foul free throw.

    This technical foul actually calmed down the heated players on both sides.

    Tim Hardaway went to the free throw line and hit a technical foul free throw. 3-2, the Heat took a 1-point lead.

    The Lakers still have the ball, and the Lakers continue to attack.

    Zhang Hao received the ball and passed it to O'Neal, O'Neal received the ball, Mashburn double-attacked, O'Neal separated the ball, Wilkins received the ball and passed it to Doug Christie - Doug Christie missed a three-pointer from the sideline!

    Mourning protects the rebound!

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Heat attack.

    Tim Hardaway played two singles. This time he did not continue singles. Now he passed the ball to Mourning, who was stuck with Zhang Hao in the low post. Mourning received the ball and allowed PJ Brown to quickly shrink in after the confrontation with O'Neal. Mourning  The ball was passed to PJ Brown. PJ Brown took a step to receive the ball from close range. Just as he was about to shoot, Zhang Hao saved it.

    Zhang Hao actually couldn¡¯t score this ball, but PJ Brown still subconsciously smacked the ball, stepped back and took a mid-range shotit didn¡¯t go in!

    O¡¯Neal protected the defensive rebound. Mashburn came in and tried to steal. He slapped O¡¯Neal on the arm. It was a foul!

    Del Harris made a prompt decision and replaced Fisher and Brian Shaw during the timeout to strengthen outside defense and support capabilities.

    ?Originally, Del Harris wanted to play singles in the starting stage to allow James Robinson, Doug Christie, and Wilkins to get more shooting opportunities.

    The tactic is to concentrate the shooting rights in the hands of O'Neal and Zhang Hao to maximize the compensation for Kenny Anderson's absence. The starting point is this, but the real role of the tactic is definitely not how many points O'Neal + Zhang Hao score to lead the team to win, but to combine the two.  Utilize people's scoring ability.

    But the conflict just now brought the confrontation to the extreme. He couldn't make an outside shot and did not continue to try. Del Harris directly improved his defense.

    On the other side, Pat Riley doesn¡¯t want to try to run the offense well?  Of course it's impossible!  He has been thinking of ways, but the basics of the lineup are there. The players under him are not as good as the Knicks on the offensive end. He can only play defense to the extreme.

    Pat Riley sent the current lineup, his original intention was to take advantage of O'Neal's comeback, focusing on breakthrough passing, close range and scoring at the basket. O'Neal was not in such good shape when he came back.

    It is true that O'Neal has just come back in average shape, but mainly in terms of singles and hook shots on the offensive end. On the defensive end, people rely on their body and consciousness. The point is that the Lakers have been making adjustments for O'Neal's defense after O'Neal's comeback during O'Neal's absence.  The cooperation between people and O'Neal has become better, O'Neal's defensive role is more prominent, and the most important point - Zhang Hao's close defense tonight is particularly effective!

    The Heat's tactics are not complicated, they are very simple. If it can be effective, then the simpler, the better. If Zhang Hao's short-distance movement under the basket is still the same as before, then the Heat's tactics tonight are obviously successful.

    But this style of play is very simple but not simple for the Lakers to defend. But it is just simple enough for Zhang Hao. As long as he moves faster and helps defend faster at close range, he can defend it, and he is really  Just be on guard!

    High-intensity confrontation and fierce hand-to-hand combat. Although the referee's call scale is loose, clear fouls will still be called. As the two teams fought, they replaced players with better defense.

    Then, the score was 3-2 in the first two minutes. At 6 minutes and 44 seconds, the score was 10-7, and the Heat led the Lakers by 3 points!

    This efficiency,?In terms of thinking, at this time the Lakers players want to play defense, but when they really cooperate with the offense, their bodies are still very honest

    Although this cooperation failed to create an open shooting opportunity, the Heat's high-speed defensive rotation was surprisingly good, but Zhang Hao first pinned the opponent's two players in the top arc, forcing the opponent to constantly switch defenses, and Zhang Hao got a second offensive opportunity!

    14 to 12, the Lakers lead by two points!

    Immediately afterwards, Tim Hardaway singled out Wilkins and hit a long-range three-pointer. The Heat once again took the lead and made the score 15-14.

    Looking back, Zhang Hao received a pass from Wilkins in the top arc pick-and-roll. When the two opponents were flanking to prevent a breakthrough, Zhang Hao turned around half a step outside the arc and shot a three-pointer

    Missed!

    but!

    Isaac Austin moved in to block Wilkins' cut-in rush, but couldn't stop Barkley. Barkley grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-in!

    This ball is still the result of Zhang Hao's threat of catching the ball in the pick-and-roll!  The Heat also had to make up for it. The Lakers' most stable inside shot was Zhang Hao, and the most stable outside shooter when Kenny Anderson was away was Wilkins.

    The fans at the scene were stunned by the sudden changes on the field!

    The score is still anxious and the situation is still tense. However, unlike the first half of the quarter, where it was difficult for both sides to score, it suddenly became difficult for both sides to defend!

 Chapter 278 278. Winning by 1 point is also a win!  (6K please monthly ticket)

    When the Heat attacked, Woshan Leonard's jump shot from close range was interfered by Zhang Hao.

    When retreating, the Heat communicated on how to adjust their defense while retreating.

    The Lakers attacked. This time, the Heat contracted more actively and left James Robinson open. Wilkins received the ball and passed it to James Robinson, who missed a three-pointer!

    Looking back, Tim Hardaway passed the ball to Dan Marley who cut to the baseline in a single. Barkley rushed to cover and knocked Dan Marley over. The referee's whistle sounded and there was a defensive foul!

    The Lakers did not call a timeout and did not make any substitutions. The Silver Fox had to continue to check the situation.

    It was Heat coach Pat Riley who stood up and frowned as Dan Marley took the free throw.

    Both free throws were scored, 17-16, and the Heat took a 1-point lead.

    It's time for the Lakers to attack again. The last contraction of defense was very successful. The Heat continued to increase their contraction and find confrontation. Barkley received the ball and passed it to James Robinson. The latter took the ball and shot a three-pointer This time,  In!

    Del Harris stood up, clenched his fists and secretly shouted "Oye", this ball is very important!

    Instead of sending Brian Shaw and O'Neal, we sent this lineup because we wanted to rely on the most stable shooting players in the team.

    Last summer, the logo man signed James Robinson. What he wanted was James Robinson¡¯s stable three-pointers in the past two years, and it worked tonight!

    Looking back, the Heat caught the ball from the baseline and passed it directly to the basket, and PJ Brown hit it high. The Heat split the ball in isolation and then passed it. This round was pretty good.

    When the Lakers attack, the Heat no longer dare to directly let James Robinson shrink, but Voshan Leonard, who is guarding the Magician, blocks Wilkins' cut.

    Zhang Hao received the ball from the top of the arc, turned and took a strong step, which made PJ Brown dare not shrink back, and then passed the ball to Magic who cut in. Magic received the ball, faced Isaac Austin's defense, turned around and hooked  Hit!

    Live!

    The Lakers' offense is coming alive!

    Just when the fans at the scene were finally getting excited about the exciting offensive game, Heat coach Pat Riley called a timeout!

    The fans at the scene were very surprised. The game was so smooth. Why did the greasy man call a timeout?

    The players on the field were also surprised, including the Heat players, who obviously played smoothly.

    But there are still people who know what the fortune teller meant when he called this timeout - the rhythm is wrong for the Heat!

    Zhang Hao saw this and felt that the fortune teller was really a decisive person, otherwise he would not have thought of trading the Magician who was at his peak and had just won two consecutive MVPs for Jordan.

    ¡­¡­

    The current score is 19 to 18. The Lakers lead the Heat by 1 point. The advantage is not obvious. The score is also anxious, but this is not good news for Heat coach Pat Riley.

    In the previous anxious situation, both sides were playing defense and confrontation, which was the rhythm of the Heat. Now they are playing offense, which is the rhythm of the Lakers!

    No matter how much you simulate and plan, it¡¯s not as much as what you can see in the actual game.

    Del Harris now has a clearer idea of ??how to beat the Heat.

    Rather than continue to strengthen the offense, after returning from the timeout, Del Harris sent a combination of Fisher, Doug Christie, Brian Shaw, O'Neal, and Zhang Hao to defend.

    The Heat did not adjust their style of play, but only emphasized strengthening defense and tightening rhythm. They replaced Isaac Austin with Mourning to strengthen inside defense, and replaced Woshan Leonard with Mashburn to strengthen singles.  .

    Except for special circumstances, such as garbage time, extreme conflicts, or player injuries, calling a timeout can be divided into three categories.

    ? One type is to call a timeout for substitutions, one type is to interrupt the opponent's rhythm, and the other type is to adjust the style of play.

    The main function is to take the initiative.

    Pat Riley has many ways to adjust in his mind, but the actual operation is very limited. The players under his hands are not enough to use his wild ideas. The only thing that can be adjusted is the defense.

    Pat Riley wanted to regain control of the initiative by pressing the rhythm and sniping the Lakers' offense, but Del Harris didn't give him a chance and also changed to a defensive lineup in the last two minutes of the first quarter!

    There is a problem with the Heat's lineup structure. Del Harris knows this very well, so he will never rotate according to Pat Riley's ideas. He suffered a loss in the last match. This time, he is more proactive.

    When there is a chance, launch a wave of offense and the opponent tries to rely on defense.??.

    Without Kenny Anderson, the Lakers actually defeated the Heat!

    With the Lakers' style of play maybe this is the first time the Heat have encountered them. Even if the Knicks beat them, there won't be such an ugly game for so long.

    The Lakers did it and controlled the rhythm very well. In the fourth quarter, except for a few interesting counterattacks by both teams, the other offensive and defensive battles were simply eye-catching.

    So, an argument came up - the Lakers played despicably in the fourth quarter!

    But what more people noticed was the impact of Zhang Hao's pick-and-roll response. Before, not many people associated Zhang Hao with the pick-and-roll, but in their game against the Heat, Zhang Hao played very well as a pick-and-roll executor.  Anyone who understands the game can see that the Lakers' ability to open up situations and play an almost rogue style of play relies on Zhang Hao's play as a pick-and-roll enforcer.

    Although one game cannot explain anything, Zhang Hao can fight tough battles and has strong adaptability and can always maximize his existing skills. O'Neal's defensive dominance was all reflected in this game!

    But, in the end, what made Zhang Hao despair was that the topic went astray again for some reason His 20 irons in a single game became the most discussed topic

 Chapter 279 279. The road to legend begins!  (8K)

    "Akers, it doesn't matter. Just shoot. Charles, Jason and I will ensure that the offensive rebounds are good. If you can't make a shot, it won't delay the team's offense."

    After the Lakers finished playing the Heat, they set off for Cleveland the next morning. Their next opponent was the Cavaliers.

    On the plane, O'Neal was so proud.

    ¡°A lot of things about basketball, in the end, it¡¯s all about looking at data and shooting percentage.

    O'Neal made 8 of 14 shots last night, plus 5 of 8 free throws, and scored 21 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists. The efficiency was an explosion.

    And Zhang Hao scored 32 points on 12 of 32 shots This efficiency can no longer be described as low, it is simply overwhelming.

    There were many fans watching the live broadcast of this game, but not many fans watched it, and more fans did not watch the game. Cloud fans like to analyze a player's performance through data. The media will still speak based on the situation of the game at the beginning, but  In the back, most fans must be "taken care of".

    There are some things that you can¡¯t avoid 20 irons!  It¡¯s a shame that little Zhouzhou hasn¡¯t debuted yet!

    After failing two missions in one night, he also got a 20-metre shot in a single game that he had been hiding for a long time. Sad and sad, Zhang Hao ignored O'Neal looking at the white clouds outside the window, it is really good to be a white cloud, floating in the sky, free and easy.  ¡­

    O¡¯Neill looked at Zhang Hao turning his head and looking out the window, feeling quite proud.

    He finally won a small game!

    However, this was only a victory in terms of public opinion from the media and fans. He was also surprised by Zhang Hao's progress in the game.

    The catch-and-roll after the pick-and-roll, that is, the emergency stop jump shot is still relatively poor. Otherwise, it is such a simple move. With this kid's athletic ability + shooting ability + height and wingspan it is really as incomprehensible as his fat body.  !

    ¡°I¡¯m still more clueless. If you catch the ball and hit it, you¡¯ll get a chance to score. You don¡¯t need so many weird coordination"

    ¡­¡­

    When he arrived in Cleveland, Zhang Hao went to the visiting team¡¯s training ground at Quicken Loans Center and pulled Brian Shaw along to practice pick-and-roll ball-cutting.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Is an enlightenment, really enlightens me, but if I dona€?t, I never know what to do.

    Of course, this is inseparable from the basic skills that Zhang Hao has practiced hard day by day. Without increasingly solid basic skills, he would not be able to display such a style of play as soon as the inspiration comes to him.

    At the end of the season, there may be explosive performances every day. Yesterday, the Lakers and Heat played a defensive battle that made people crazy. Today, at 3:30 pm, the game between Bulls and Pistons started, 2  After 25 minutes of play, Grant Hill scored 27 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals, leading six Pistons to score in double figures. They narrowly defeated the Bulls 99-91, handing the Bulls their 12th loss of the season.  !

    At this time, Grant Hill, who seemed to be the future leader of American basketball, had come from behind to surpass the surprise that Anfernee Hardaway had brought to people.

    The Lakers had a night of rest in Cleveland, and on March 21, they came to the Quicken Loans Center to play the Cavaliers in the first of back-to-back away games.

    Playing against a team that averages less than 86 points per game is really a torture. The Cavaliers are truly unlucky. At their peak, the league was still playing post-showtime offensive basketball.  The peak stage has passed, and the alliance has entered the iron-blooded era

    Purely in terms of controlling the rhythm and limiting the opponent's scoring, the Cavaliers are the strongest in the league, while the Lakers only scored 81 points tonight.

    Fortunately, the Lakers defended very well, limiting the Cavaliers to only 77 points. O'Neal scored 15 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks. Zhang Hao scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.  Leigh also had 11 points and 13 rebounds, and the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 81-77.

    Everyone thought the Lakers would lose when they played the Heat. The Lakers won by luck, so they should have lost against the Cavaliers, right?  Who would have known that the Cavaliers' offense was so weak. The tight defense defended O'Neal and Barkley very well, and Zhang Hao's breakthrough from the outside was also defended very well, but the Lakers still relied on defense to win.

    But at this time, the Lakers received some bad news off the court - the logo man failed in the competition with the Bulls. Erwin Robertson, who had terminated his contract with the Raptors a few days ago, has been struggling for a few days.  Finally, choose to join the Chicago Bulls!

    ¡­¡­

    On March 16, former quadruple-double man Erwin Robertson agreed to terminate his contract with the Raptors and prepare to join a championship-level team.

    This season, Ervin Robertson averaged 10.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.3 steals per game for the Raptors. He was as good as the first 9 years of his career. His health is extremely good. At the age of 34, he has not played a game this season.  fall.

    The key is that this guy has been selected to the All-Defensive Team for 6 consecutive years since his second grade, including two first-defense games, and won the best award.In the competition, Jordan won the scoring title in the 1995-96 season last season as the 8th consecutive scoring title.

    When asked this kind of question, generally speaking, no one dares to directly say that they want to compete with Jordan for the scoring title. Even if they really want to compete, they will first avoid the question and then do it secretly.

    Therefore, the reporter was ready to find opportunities to stir up trouble from Zhang Hao¡¯s evasive answers.

    Then, I heard Zhang Hao say: "Of course."

    "You are too modest huh?"

    The reporters were stunned after reacting!

    No, are you so crazy?

    If you are not humble or avoided, you will talk about Jordan to get the king?

    This reporter is still too young. If interviewing Zhang Hao is such a good job, will the seniors at ABC TV give him the sure hot news?

    After being stunned for a while, the reporter quickly thought about how to continue the interview. Being young is good, and actually came up with a question that would continue to deceive him: "Akers, you are really confident. Do you think your scoring ability is already better than Jordan's?"  Yet?"

    ?????????Is it rare to defeat Zhang Hao with this kind of question?  Zhang Hao responded: "My scoring ability is actually average. Don't you often say that my skills are single and I need to rely on my teammates? The truth is as you said, I am just lucky and happen to be second in the scoring list. I don't like scoring. I  I¡¯m not interested in scoring, but if something belongs to me, I should fight for it.¡±

    The reporter looked at the cameraman and said in his eyes: Let me go home. I don¡¯t want to work anymore. The work is too difficult. The reporter¡¯s job is too difficult

    Iverson just became popular at the end of the season by having back-to-back 40+ points, opening up a little gap with Marbury and Raheem, and he is in the limelight.

    Then, on the morning of March 27, when the Lakers came to Oakland and Zhang Hao¡¯s interview with ABC TV was broadcast, not only did the words "58" and "ordinary rookie" become hot words in the current basketball world, "There is no sense of existence."  "Newcomer" also hung on Iverson's head.

    Although some people think Zhang Hao is too damaged, it is true that what Iverson has accomplished is still far behind Zhang Hao's rookie season. Zhang Hao's performance in his rookie year can be compared with Larry Bird's  comparable level.

    ??Also, what Zhang Hao wants to accomplish at the age of 20 really puts Iverson, who is still competing for the Rookie of the Year, to death.

    Zhang Hao publicly announced in an exclusive interview that he will compete with Jordan for the scoring title!

    As soon as this news comes out, it doesn¡¯t matter which rookie has back-to-back 40+ points.

    Someone is actually challenging Jordan for the scoring title!

    No one finds it strange that Zhang Hao wants to compete for the scoring title. He is already second in the scoring list. The difference is less than 0.2 points. It is strange that he does not compete.

    But just as the reporter who interviewed Zhang Hao thought, people think that Zhang Hao is fighting secretly. Even if this kind of thing cannot be done secretly, he will not be stupid enough to directly challenge Jordan. It is better to make it more difficult for himself.

    But, that¡¯s what Zhang Hao did!  Do it in the open!

    Because of this, Zhang Hao really attracted a wave of fans from passers-by.

    However, the most popular part is the clip where Zhang Hao said "I'm not interested in scoring" with a flat expression.

    People who like him like him even more, and people who don¡¯t like him feel that he is too weak!

 Chapter 280 280. Ordinary Rookie, Gentleman, God, Part 1 of the Crazy End of the Season (16,000 words, please vote for me!)

    After seeing the news about Zhang Hao¡¯s interview, the Lakers players were also stunned by Zhang Hao¡¯s declaration of being the scoring champion!

    Suddenly, caught off guard, Zhang Hao challenged Jordan.

    Without even telling my teammates, I was ready to do this!

    In fact, his teammates really went out of their way to help Zhang Hao get more shooting opportunities this season.

    Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to do this kind of thing secretly?  You have to challenge the difficulty!

    But when you think that Zhang Hao did it, it¡¯s not surprising

    However, in a team, if a player's goal is a goal that everyone is interested in, it will be smoother for the player to achieve this goal.

    Ending Jordan's scoring title is really what all the players in the league except the Bulls want to do. Even if some players are Jordan fans, after entering the NBA, they have the opportunity or the opportunity to do so.  When teammates have the chance, they won't stop them.

    Who wouldn¡¯t want to fuck Jordan while he¡¯s still in his prime?

    Even O'Neal wanted to do it. When he saw Zhang Hao had the opportunity and took the initiative to challenge him, he also wanted to come, but

    "I already have a scoring champion. How tiring it is to compete with Jordan. I was so tired competing with Robinson that time and lost. Forget it"

    ¡­¡­

    "I have already won the scoring title 8 times. It doesn't matter if I can win it again, but if I want to win the scoring title, no one can compete with me."

    Looking at Jordan being interviewed on the TV screen, shrugging his shoulders and looking indifferent, Zhang Hao knew that the other party was definitely going to fight for it.

    ¡°I will definitely let him remember me next time we fight!¡±

    "Ordinary rookie", "58 spokesperson", "rookie with no sense of existence" Allen Iverson answered this way in an interview, just replied, and then left.

    Zhang Hao was quite excited about Iverson's hostility.

    "Becoming friends with Iversonit's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that the other person is not the type who likes to make friends.

    He Zhang is no longer the proactive type, so since he can't be a friend, it would be great to be an opponent.

    ¡°Moreover, he wanted to be a rival with Iverson even more, hoping that the opponent would do his best every time he played against Iverson.

    Otherwise, where is the fun in the game?

    It¡¯s just that the next time they play against each other will be next year. The 76ers have already lost the chance to make the playoffs, and they have lost even the one-in-a-billion chance of playing against each other again this season.

    In addition to the news about these two parties related to Zhang Hao's interview, Zhang Hao also saw Grant Hill, Anfernee Hardaway, Olajuwon, Ewing, Shuangsha, Payton, Kempetc.  interviews with people.

    "No one can compare with Jordan in terms of scoring, not even Zhang. I appreciate his courage." This was the answer of Payton, who faced Jordan in last year's finals.

    "I have been in the NBA for 13 years, and I have never seen a player who can score better than Jordan." This is Stockton of the 1984 golden generation.

    "Akers is an epoch-making player. If he really does it, I would not be surprised at all, but Jordan is the strongest player and the best scorer. Akers' goal is great, but it is difficult."  This is Grant Hill

    "Nothing is impossible. Chamberlain's seven scoring titles have been broken, and a 20-year-old scoring title may also appear." This is the most surprising answer, Anfernee Hardaway's answer in an interview.

    It is obvious that the older generation of players have blind trust in Jordan's strength, especially those veterans who entered the NBA at about the same time as Jordan. However, the younger players have expressed more bluntly that they want to see the NBA change its dynasty.  idea.

    ¡­¡­

    At the end of the season, Zhang Hao once again set off a storm of public opinion.

    The Lakers, who were at the center of the storm, took a night's rest in Oakland and came to Oracle Arena to challenge the Warriors away from home on March 28.

    During the pre-game preparations, Del Harris watched with his teammates practicing pick-and-rolls and then catching the ball and breaking through, his teammates running, and Zhang Hao making decisions based on the movement of the defensive side

    "You damn kid, can't you fight for the scoring title secretly? You really like to cause trouble"

    Del Harris is quite unhappy, but there is no way. It is almost the playoffs, and it has already reached the stage where the shooting power should be concentrated on the stars.

    "This kid is so lucky. He is just about to start adjusting to the playoffs, and he is the team's first shot"

    Today¡¯s pre-game preparation training has obviously been adjusted.

    There hasn¡¯t been much adjustment in tactics. I¡¯ve played 72 games, so I can think about it.The score is fixed at 2575 points, averaging 31.4 points per game!

    2575 points, 61 points ahead of Zhang Hao who played 81 games and 2514 points!

    In this game, the Bulls won the game because the Pacers' defense was in chaos, everyone was targeting Jordan alone, and Pippen, Longley, Steve Kerr and others scored steadily.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    At the end of this season, Zhang Hao felt like he was going crazy

    In the last 14 games, Iverson scored 40+ points 7 times, basically locking in the Rookie of the Year, pushing Marbury and Raheem to the ground.

    The Bulls have won 70 games for the second consecutive season

    Hao really didn¡¯t expect this!

    Although he felt that the Bulls were more stable this season than last season, he still did not expect that the Bulls could win 70 games.

    And the Spurs are fourth from the bottom He doesn't know the specific record of the Spurs this year in the original time and space, but the Spurs' record of 22 wins and 60 losses is better than Zhang Hao expected.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    In the end, Zhang Hao still failed to reach the first place in the Western Conference. Zhang Hao was a little regretful, but he tried his best.

    If the Bulls are the most stable team this year, the Jazz will definitely be ranked second!

    These two teams have been

    "The thing that makes Zhang Hao feel crazy the most is Jordanbut when this happens, he really doesn't find it strange. This is what this guy can do!"

    Scored 45 points in 44 shots, and his teammates did not pass the ball Of course, Zhang Hao is willing to believe that Jordan is taking advantage of the team's lead.

    But this is really a bit too much But this is also strength, throwing 44 times, not everyone can do it.

    In this situation, the pressure is all on Zhang!

 Chapter 281 281. Nash is about to burst (11,000 words, please vote for me)

    Most things in this regular season have been settled.

    In terms of record, the Bulls have won 70 back-to-back games, which confirms the views of the media, teams, and many fans - this year's Bulls are more stable than last year.

    It can be seen from the more stable data of Jordan and Pippen this year, and the Bulls' more stable point differential in each game

    In fact, in the original time and space, this season the Bulls only lost 10 games with 8 games left, but lost 3 of the last 8 games because after losing the 10th game, there was no chance to break the 72-win streak.  Jackson is the kind of head coach who is very good at protecting the health of his players. He stopped playing in the last 8 games, reducing the playing time of Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Luke Longley and others.

    In fact, in this time and space, after Jackson lost the 12th game, he also wanted to let Jordan and Pippen paddle after locking the regular season championship. However, Jordan wanted to compete for the scoring title.

    The Zen master knows that Jordan has to fight for the scoring title even if he scores points. At this time, if he loses and Jordan scores high points it would not be appropriate.

    Sure enough, Jordan really did that!

    The Bulls are strong enough, and Jordan's scoring ability is unparalleled in the world, raising the season's total points to 2,575 points. With Zhang Hao having 1 game left to play, Jordan is 61 points higher than Zhang Hao.

    Jordan¡¯s personal performance and the Bulls¡¯ team performance are both the strongest this season!

    Among the other teams in the Eastern Conference, the Heat have 61 wins and 20 losses. They have one game left to play, but they have secured second place in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks, third in the Eastern Conference, have 59 wins and 23 losses. It doesn¡¯t matter if the Heat lose the last game.  .

    The Pistons, fourth in the Eastern Conference, have a record of 57 wins and 25 losses. This is the first time they have achieved such a good record since the Bad Boys era. The regular season is over, and Pistons fans have reached the point of hating Alan Houston

    It¡¯s still a matter of the times. If in another 10 years, when an annual salary of tens of millions has become the common salary for first-class stars, fans may blame the team.

    But in this era when salaries have only been rising for a few years and Pippen is only getting 3 million a year, Alan Houston refused the last 8 million a year salary offered by the Pistons and chose a higher salary from the Knicks. He was  Pistons fans criticized him for betraying the team for money.

    The Hawks have 55 wins and 26 losses. They still have one game left to play, but they can't break into the top four in the Eastern Conference and are ranked fifth.

    The Hornets were sixth with 54 wins and 28 losses, falling out of contention for second place at the end of March.

    There is no way, the Hornets¡¯ strongest star is not at the level of Grant Hill, and the team strength is not as strong as the Knicks.

    The Heat have Tim Hardaway and Mourning, two superstars who cannot lose to Grant Hill, and their overall strength is strong, so they can become the strongest team in the Eastern Conference except for the Bulls.

    Even if the Hornets only finish sixth in the Eastern Conference this season, it will still be amazing.

    Starting from sixth place, there is a gap behind the Eastern Conference. The Magic ranks seventh in the Eastern Conference with 44 wins and 37 losses, the Bullets rank eighth in the Eastern Conference with 42 wins and 39 losses, the Cavaliers rank ninth in the Eastern Conference with 41 wins and 40 losses, and the Pacers  Ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference with 36 wins and 45 losses, and the Bucks ranked eleventh in the Eastern Conference with 30 wins and 51 losses.

    The results of the top six teams in the Eastern Conference are so bad, and the result is the miserable results of the last few teams in the Eastern Conference.

    Among them, the Celtics are the most courageous, with a record of 14 wins and 68 losses, ranking second to last in the league.

    In the Western Conference, the Jazz finally locked up the first place in the Western Conference with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses. The Lakers were still one game short of 63 wins and 18 losses. However, due to the outcome of the match, the Lakers locked in the second place in the Western Conference.

    The SuperSonics' final record was 57 wins and 25 losses, third in the Western Conference, and the Trail Blazers ranked fourth with 49 wins and 32 losses.

    Then, the Western Conference record began to fall apart. The Rockets ranked fifth with 42 wins and 39 losses, the Timberwolves ranked sixth with 41 wins and 41 losses, the Suns ranked seventh with 38 wins and 44 losses, and the Clippers ranked 36 wins and 45 losses.  in the eighth.

    The Kings ranked ninth with 32 wins and 49 losses, and the Warriors ranked tenth with 29 wins and 52 losses.

    The records of the bottom four teams are very impressive, although they are not as eye-catching as the second to last place in the Western Conference.

    However, the Grizzlies¡¯ record of 12 wins and 70 losses complements the league¡¯s first place

    Although there are still some teams that have not played a game, the ranking has been gradually locked in the past few years.

    It can be seen from the record that in order to compete for Duncan, the teams have done everything they can to compete for Duncan.

    On April 18th, the last game day of the regular season, one of the most popular topics was the probability of drawing lots in this year¡¯s draft.

    Ranking of lottery probability: Grizzlies, Celtics, 76ers, Spurs, Nets, Nuggets, Mavericks

    What a really bad Grizzlies team can getBreakthrough quickly!

    After breaking into the three-point line, Nash made an emergency stop and took a two-point fadeaway jumperhit!

    Since Kenny Anderson is defending, Nash chooses to rely on his height and shooting ability to start one in isolation.

    This is not only to seize the opportunity of singles advantage to score two points, but also to provoke Kenny Anderson's desire to counterattack in singles.

    ??Can Kenny Anderson see this little thought of Nash?  After all, I have been doing this for 6 years.

    After arriving in the frontcourt, Kenny Anderson chose to cross-step and change direction as Nash expected!

    Gary Trent immediately let go of George Lynch and stepped in to cover the defense. George Lynch, who was left open, reacted quickly and pulled toward the outsidehelping Zhang Hao block Rasheed Wallace. Zhang Hao  When it reached the top arc, Kenny Anderson's pass was just in place!

    When Zhang Hao received the ball, Rasheed Wallace actually squeezed past George Lynch and pounced on him. His top athletic ability was fully demonstrated. As soon as Zhang Hao picked up the ball, Rasheed Wallace pounced directly on him.  Go up.

    The hand holding the ball on the right side of Zhang Hao's head turned down, and his wrist and fingers exerted force. The ball quickly hit the floor and bounced forward. Zhang Hao pressed forward, avoided Rasheed Wallace's defense, and grabbed the ball.  , one step inside the three-point line, grabbed the ball from the arc outside the free throw line, and took a mid-range shothit!

    Although Kenny Anderson did not get an assist on this goal, the goal was completely dominated by him, and he cooperated with Doug Christie to contain the off-ball pick-and-rolls of Isaiah Leder and George Lynch and started a very tacit understanding.  Pitcher tactics!

    After one season, there have been more changes in their cooperation.

    As for Nash¡¯s singles provocation, of course Kenny Anderson will take advantage of the opportunity. Can he not see that Nash wants to stimulate him to play singles and reduce Zhang Hao¡¯s shots?

    There was no verbal communication, but with just one ball, Nash felt his ears burning.

    When Kenny Anderson turned around and looked at him with his mouth curled up, Nash felt like he had been slapped.

    Playing tricks with a veteran who has been in the league for many years, he is a newbie and still takes things for granted.

    This is when Nash¡¯s tenacity comes out!

    In the original time and space, Nash was almost not reused in the first two years of his career, but he persisted until he was spotted by the Mavericks coach Old Nelson in 1998 and was traded by the Mavericks.

    Feeling the gap in experience, Nash was hit, but he used this as motivation, calmed down, received the serve and pushed forward steadily, waiting for Sabonis to be in position before launching the attack.

    Kenny Anderson was a little surprised when he saw Nash push forward more determinedly than before, even suppressing his overly excited emotions.

    Although Nash is not regarded as an opponent, the current Nash is still too incompetent in the eyes of Kenny Anderson. Even if Nash has played well against the Lakers in the regular season, it really is like that.  Kenny's performance was not bad in every game, but the Lakers' red flowers were Zhang Hao and O'Neal, and the others were just green leaves.

    However, in terms of mentality, Kenny Anderson feels that Nash has the excellent qualities to become a star.

    After Sabonis reached the mid-range position on the baseline, Nash came to the three-point line and continued singles firmly.

    Although Kenny Anderson's defense is not a hindrance, it is not very good. He can keep up with Nash at speed, but suffers from height disadvantages, so he can only choose to stick as close as possible and not give Nash enough space to jump.

    Nash is not explosive enough. He did not choose to make another emergency jump shot, but went straight to the basket!

    O'Neal quickly shrank to the basket, waiting for an opportunity to block the shot, waiting for Nash to take off, but he didn't wait!  No, it's not that he didn't wait, but when O'Neal thought Nash was about to take off, Nash had already thrown the ball!

    Nash suddenly grabbed the ball while walking and stepped forward with his right foot. O'Neal pulled it back and was ready to wait for Nash to jump up and hit the ball. But when Nash stepped forward with his right foot, the ball he grabbed with his right hand was thrown directly

    The ball flew over O'Neal's head and fell into the basket. Nash made a layup with both hands and feet while walking!

    ? 4 to 5, the Trail Blazers relied on Nash to score two goals in the opening stage to tighten the score!

    Don¡¯t be fooled by this rookie Nash¡¯s performance at the start surprised the Lakers fans at the scene!  Facing O'Neal's defense, he was so calm and made the best shot

    During the transition of offense and defense, as Kenny Anderson advanced, several main defensive players were thinking about how to defend in the next round. When Kenny Anderson arrived in the frontcourt, they immediately concentrated and devoted themselves to the offense.

    Zhang Hao scored 5 points in a row at the beginning, but the Trail Blazers did not use the defense to lock Zhang Hao alone like the Grizzlies. They wanted to win.

    But the Trail Blazers used infinite forward defense changes!

    Rasheed Wallace went around to guard Zhang Hao to catch the ball. When encountering a pick-and-roll, he immediately switched to another person to go around to defend against the ball. Zhang Hao moved quickly to get rid of the player in front of him. The one closest to him immediately changed defense, endless circles around!

 Chapter 282 282. The wind is blowing!  (Please vote for 15,000 words!)

    There is a very important goal that the Trail Blazers must achieve. They must limit Zhang Hao's scoring as much as possible.

    It¡¯s just that the Trail Blazers still missed to judge the firmness of the Lakers¡¯ offense tonight. Kenny Anderson rushed to the right side of the free throw line and had no chance to pass to Zhang Hao. He directly retreated from the three-point line and looked for Zhang Hao to pick and roll!

    At this time, Zhang Hao's defense was switched to Isaiah Leder, who was defending in front of him. Zhang Hao blocked Nash, received a hand-to-hand pass from Kenny Anderson when going around the pick-and-roll, and turned with his elbow. Nash and Isaiah Leder  He was so frightened that he quickly moved away. Zhang Hao caught the ball and broke through after a pick-and-roll!

    "Pick-and-roll Executor (Silver)" and "Strongest First Step (Bronze)" linkage!  The top-level speed of 91 started at the fastest speed. Rasheed Wallace couldn't make up for it from the left three-point line to the mid-range The roof of the world didn't have a chance to show off the iron blood of an Eastern European man, and his eyes went dark.  ¡­

    Zhang Hao took off with the ball like a big spider, hung on Sabonis and smashed the ball into the basket!

    O¡¯Neal quickly dodged and patted his chest to slow down his rapid breathing. What a danger!  I almost got detained again!

    He does have a faster reaction speed than Sabonis and can take down Zhang Hao.

    But, he is a teammate!  At this time it is better to run first.

    Hearing the crisp dunk sound and seeing Zhang Hao rush into the paint like a speed guard, quickly complete the dunk, then turn around and retreat as if he had completed a simple layup Nash felt that Zhang Hao's start was better than his.  Fast!

    ??Really speaking, compared to Nash, Zhang Hao's speed just now was definitely faster than Nash, but the visual impact was too intense.

    This is a center who looks about the same size as Rasheed Wallace!

    In the previous match, Zhang Hao had a trick of catching the ball with his back from outside the three-point line and turning around to break through. The Trail Blazers were on guard, and Rasheed Wallace went directly around, but this trick is a new trick!

    It¡¯s not a technological advancement, it¡¯s still as simple as Zhang Hao¡¯s other technologies.

    But the more this happens, the more worried Zhang Hao¡¯s opponents are about the future!

    Ordinary players are okay. There is not much difference between superstars and superstars. Every player may have unlimited aspirations when they first enter the NBA, but as their careers progress, most players will begin to accept themselves because of their mediocre abilities.  Of course, some ordinary players will not lose their competitive spirit and desire to win just because they accept the mediocrity of their abilities

    But for players who want to become stars or even superstars, looking at Zhang Hao, they really feel that there is huge pressure in the future.

    Zhang Hao, who is only 20 years old and is still polishing his basic skills. His skills are definitely not comprehensive, but he can excel at simple basic skills.

    ¡°When the technology becomes more comprehensive in the future and there are more choices, won¡¯t this be the next Jordan or the next Magic, Bird, or Chamberlain?

    The Lakers scored 7 points in a row at the beginning!  The teammates tried their best to give Zhang Hao a chance to score, but the Lakers' original plan to use a team play to allow Zhang Hao to catch and shoot more easily was shattered.

    Like in the first two rounds, Zhang Hao scored with basically no effort. He could throw directly after receiving the ball, or he could take one step after receiving the ball and throw with ease.

    Everyone knows that this kind of explosive breakthrough is not too small for a 105 kg player like Zhang Hao. Even though Zhang Hao's physical strength is improving with age, he is still only 20 years old.

    For Zhang Hao personally, although there is a bonus to burst speed, the consumption will not be reduced. Of course, the consumption in this area will be reduced because he avoids some confrontations.

    The Trail Blazers failed to stop Zhang Hao from scoring at the beginning, but the Lakers' defense against Nash was not very good either.

    Kenny Anderson¡¯s defense can¡¯t be said to be bad, it¡¯s not a hindrance, but it¡¯s just average.

    It was the Trail Blazers' offense again. After Nash advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Zhang Hao guarding the top arc. He was overjoyed. He had accomplished the task assigned to him by the coaching staff before the game - pulled Zhang Hao out from under the basket!

    When Nash received this task, he was not scared or stressed, but very excited. This was the importance P-J Carlesimo attached to him!

    Facing Zhang Hao¡¯s defense, Nash did not continue to play alone, waiting for his teammates to get into position with a big step away from the three-point line.

    Sabonis pulled to the middle distance on the left side of the three-second zone, and Rasheed Wallace went out to pick and roll for Nash!

    Zhang Hao and George Lynch switched defenses and followed the cutting Rasheed Wallace into the inside. Rasheed Wallace sprinted to receive the ball and attacked the basket. It was difficult to defend Zhang Hao even if he was close. Look.  As Nash grabbed the ball and tried to pass it, O'Neal immediately shrank back to the basket, but Nash's target was not Rasheed Wallace, but??, and his wingspan is also exceptionally good. Zhang Hao was forced to lean back a little more, try his best to aim and adjust his force

    This luck has come, and there¡¯s nothing you can do to stop it!

    ¡°The king of turn-over jump shots (gold) is triggered. The player Zhang Hao¡¯s turn-over jump shot ignores the influence of force and shooting angle caused by the defense¡¯s shooting adjustments"

    When Zhang Hao threw the ball, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the flying ball.

    Including the Trail Blazers players, they were all curious about whether the ball could be scored

    The ball flew through the air and plunged into the basket!

    The scene was boiling instantly!

    Rasheed Wallace, the opponent, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly at this time. He was so frightened that the referee looked at him and almost blew the whistle

    46 shots!  Zhang Hao continues to set a new player's personal shot record in a single game this season!  At the same time, with a total season score of 2,576 points, Zhang Hao surpassed Michael Jordan's 2,575 points this season. After playing the same number of games, Zhang Hao topped the scoring list!

    Jordan¡¯s 8-game scoring streak was ended!

 Chapter 283 283. The order that begins to be broken (9K monthly votes requested)

    Court Channel, American Cable TV Sports Channel, Time Warner Cable Sports, and even t.n.t Sports Channel, which has always been Zhang Hao's number one black fan group Every TV station that is broadcasting the game is excitedly shouting "The new scoring champion" at this moment  Appeared".

    If Jordan had not come back after retiring, the scoring champions in the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons would still be good. But Jordan came back and easily won the scoring title in the 95-96 season. At this time, people kept saying that  The two-year scoring champion was just lucky.

    Now, five months after Jordan dominated the scoring championship, a player appeared. He dominated the scoring championship at the last moment, forcing Jordan to throw away his face and score more points. But in the end, this player still took away the championship in the last game.  Scoring champion!

    All the fans watching this game in front of the TV and on the scene thought it was incredible!

    Who could compete with Jordan for the scoring title when he was at his peak?

    Before this season, no one thought anyone could do it.

    Before Jordan entered the NBA, if anyone said that Chamberlain's 7 consecutive scoring titles could be broken, they would definitely be laughed at.

    But Jordan did it. If he hadn't retired, being officially recognized by the league as the 8th consecutive scoring champion wouldn't be a big problem.

    When Zhang Hao just publicly stated that he wanted to win the scoring champion, some people still said that the 20-year-old scoring champion was too young.

    Now, Zhang Hao has done it!

    But Zhang Hao did it!

    And, when Zhang Hao did it, everything seemed so logical.

    Just like after Jordan surpassed Chamberlain in scoring and scoring average, people felt that Jordan entered the NBA to break Chamberlain's dominance of the data list.

    Now, seeing Zhang Hao really win the scoring title at the age of 20, and really take the scoring title from Jordan at his peak, it seems that it is not so difficult to accept.

    On the court.

    Looking at Zhang Hao, who hit the fadeaway jumper and then fell to the floor, he got up and ran back

    I don¡¯t know why, but Rasheed Wallace feels that it¡¯s time for a change in the basketball world.

    There are always differences between people, otherwise the world would not have so many brilliant colors and legendary stories.

    Rasheed Wallace is very aware of the gap between himself and Zhang Hao. Maybe he will never be selected for a while and will never be an mvp candidate. In his peak period, competing for the best team and all-star is what he has the most potential for.  Possible personal honors.

    Zhang Hao, who is in the same class, is like a hurricane, shaking the league order that has been ruled by the 84 golden generation for 6 consecutive years. Looking at Zhang Hao's back, Rasheed Wallace can't help but think - can I also be the one to establish the new order?  One of the people?

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao successfully won the scoring title, which was like a node that triggered the announcement of the 84 golden generation. Rasheed Wallace, Nash and others at the scene, as well as the young players of the Lakers, were watching the game in front of the TV.  The young geniuses seemed to see a new era clamoring for them to wave.

    The game on the court continues.

    Nash and Rasheed Wallace did not give up. They were only 5 points behind. With more than 5 minutes left, they had no chance to win the game!

    There is absolutely no other pressure on the Lakers, just to win. On the night when Zhang Hao won the scoring title, they wanted to celebrate Zhang Hao with their victory in the final game of the regular season!

    When both teams focus on offense and the players of both teams entered their best offensive state in the past quarter of the game, the Lakers' advantage is reflected!

    O'Neal and Barkley's offensive rebound rush has become a key point!

    Zhang Hao and O'Neal were marked. Kenny Anderson and Doug Christie got shooting opportunities on both wings, but the shots were inaccurate. However, Barkley and O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebounds fiercely. When Kenny Anderson and Doug Christie shot,  At that time, because the Trail Blazers wanted to guard against the offensive rebounds of O'Neal and Barkley, they chose to collect the offensive rebounds after the two shot. However, they still could not stop O'Neal and Barkley who were rushing to grab the ball with all their strength.  The first goal is to pass it to Zhang Hao, who feels better.

    At this time, Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring opportunity comes!

    With a three-pointer, two free throws that resulted in a foul on Sabonis, and a counterattack dunk, the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers 12-7, 7 of which were scored by Zhang Hao!

    136 to 126, the Lakers extended their lead to 10 points!

    Nash and Rasheed Wallace worked hard, but they were still too young. When the Trail Blazers attacked again, Nash missed his three-point shot in a hurry.

    Looking back, Zhang Hao received the ball outside the three-point line and stood up directlyThe upper limit of a team But Kidd believes that his strength is no worse than Grant Hill and Anfernee Hardaway!

    When the old and new eras change, there will always be chaos. In the early 1970s, after the Celtics' 13-year reign of 11 championships ended, the league entered a stage of chaos for nearly 10 years. In the 1979-80 season, the Lakers regained their dominance.  After winning the championship and the yellow-green war came again, they had ruled for nearly another decade. In the chaotic stage when the yellow-green rule ended again, the Pistons stood out

    ??And in these chaotic times, many superstars have emerged. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, George Gervin, Rick Barry, Bill Walton, Rodman and other superstars all emerged in the chaotic era.

    Kidd also wants to be one of them!

    Chaos represents opportunity!

    And the one who may start the era of chaos is the young superstar opposite him who is one year behind Kidd!

    ¡­¡­

    At 7:58 pm, the game was about to start, and the referee informed the two teams to start the game.

    The Suns sent out a starting combination of Kidd, Kevin Johnson, Ceballos, AC Green, and Holt Williams.

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, O'Neal, and Zhang Hao.

    Ben Wallace, Byron Scott, and Fisher were placed on the inactive list, and Jerome Corsi entered the 12-man playoff roster.

    After applying some magnesium powder, Zhang Hao walked onto the court in a relaxed mood.

    In terms of tactics, the Lakers pay attention to their opponents. In terms of strategy, the Lakers are preparing for the game with the goal of sweeping. They are not careless, but there is no pressure.

    Just when Zhang Hao came to the middle circle, the task prompt came

    "Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of change. The major stars who have been suppressed by the 84 golden generation for 6 years are looking forward to the arrival of a new era. The special signed player Zhang Hao carries the expectations of the major new and Mesozoic generations. The series  The first phase of the mission The Wind Rises: Triggered by flapping wings"

    Looking at this task, Zhang Hao was stunned. The difficulty of the task is not high. This is the goal of the Lakers. He personally has data requirements and it doesn't matter.

    The important thing is that he thought this task was related to Nash, and there was no Nash in front of him!

    Why was it triggered?

    ¡­¡­

    Today, I will be less, thinking about how to write the playoffs, take it slowly ~ Seeking a monthly ticket!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 284 284. Jordan¡¯s poor opponents (11,000 words, please vote for me!)

    ¡°Flapping Wings: The Wind Rises Phase 2.

    Goal 1: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers sweep the Suns in the first round and advance to the second round.

    Reward: Life span 15 days, start goal 2.

    Failure penalty: The series of tasks about Zhang Hao comes to an end.  "

    The task is not difficult. The team¡¯s goal in preparing for the competition is to sweep through and advance.

    "The wind blown by Nash is the whirlwind of the run-and-gun era, which means that I also have the opportunity to create my era"

    The referee came to the court with the ball. Zhang Hao put away his distracting thoughts and concentrated. Anyway, the task goal was not complicated or difficult, so he just played according to the established rules.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.

    Zhang Hao easily won the jump ball from Holt Williams, and the Lakers attacked first!

    O'Neal rushed to receive the ball from close range, turned around and relied on brute force to carry Ceballos aside, pressing the AC Green who retreated to the basket and smashed the ball into the basket.

    Fierce and cruel!

    At the beginning, O'Neal made a fast break one-on-two dunk to help the Lakers score two points.

    On the other side, George Lynch, who was unguarded and rushed into the paint, was speechless. As long as O'Neal distributed the ball, someone else could easily dunk

    But it also shows O'Neal's enthusiasm.

    Zhang Hao even defeated Jordan to win the scoring title, and O'Neal did not want to fall behind. Facing the Suns, he continued his enthusiasm after the All-Star weekend.

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Suns attack.

    Kevin Johnson advanced to the frontcourt and then singled out Doug Christie for a breakthrough. He broke through to the mid-range but failed to get rid of the defense, and passed back to Kidd who moved to the top arc.

    Kidd received the ball and Kenny Anderson followed closely. Kidd did not need to worry about other areas, but the three-pointer after shortening the three-point distance from the 45-degree angle on both sides to the top arc still needs to be managed.  After Zhang Hao defended two meters away, Kidd worked hard on this area. He shot pretty well after the All-Star weekend this season. The Lakers also paid attention to this in their preparations.

    After receiving the ball, Kidd faced Kenny Anderson's defense and directly pressed Kenny Anderson to break through!

    In terms of strength, Kidd is at the small forward level, with a weight of 93 kilograms and a strength of 86, which is very good.

    After reaching close range, Kidd stuck to Zhang Hao and sent out a beautiful ground pass. Holt Williams, who was pulled to the left side of the three-second zone, hit a close throw!

    Although he didn¡¯t think he could win, Kidd, who was playing in the playoffs for the first time, still worked very hard.

    Precisely because he didn¡¯t think he could win, Kidd played more relaxedly, without any pressure, with clear thinking. He did a very good job in understanding the positional movement of defensive players, the positional movement and characteristics of his teammates.

    Many teams like to form a backcourt when they cannot get top insiders, especially those teams that have the strength to enter the playoffs but do not have the stable ability to win in the playoffs.  Dual guns, for a reason.

    Because the defender has the ability to push the team's strength to the limit!

    The Suns relied on the sudden scoring of Kevin Johnson and Kidd in the beginning, and they played really well. The Lakers' starting lineup played very aggressively offensively and did a good job defensively, but those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes.  The Suns relied on their unlimited impact to hold on to the score!

    The official timeout came at 7 minutes and 22 seconds of the first quarter. The Lakers only had a two-point lead at 18-16.

    Del Harris didn't panic, he just rotated as he should, without letting O'Neal play more. When the official timeout came, he replaced O'Neal and replaced him with Kenny Anderson, Wilkins, Magic, Barkley,  Zhang Hao's combination.

    The requirements for the players are not to be careless and to go all out to sweep the Suns. However, when the Silver Foxes are playing against the Suns, they still want to continue to strengthen lineup rotation adjustments, continue to strengthen tactical details, etc.

    Having strength means you can do whatever you want

    On the other side, Danny Ainge sent a combination of Kidd, Wesley Person, Rex Chapman, Danny Manning, and Mark Bryant.

    Only then did Danny Ainge send in the team's two best inside players.

    The Suns players don¡¯t think they can defeat the Lakers, and the Suns management doesn¡¯t have the wisdom to expect their lineup to be successful in the playoffs. They just need to train the talented Kidd.

    But Danny Ainge just wants to add trouble to the Lakers and put the strongest lineup in the rotation stage.

    Now Danny Ainge is pleasantly surprised. They only lost two points in the starting period. AC Green, Ceballos, and Kevin Johnson all scored very well.

    Now it¡¯s the rotation stage, theynbsp; In the past two days, other awards have been announced one after another.

    Iverson relied on a surge that started in mid-March and relied on his top rookie performance of 24 points and 7.5 assists per game to win the Rookie of the Year award with a high vote rate of 56.1% over Marbury and Raheem.

    The Knicks¡¯ John Starks won the Best Sixth Man Award over Jason Williams, Toni Kukoc, Danny Manning and others.

    The first round of games was all over. On May 4, the day before the start of the second round, the Lakers came to the Great Western Forum to prepare for the game. The SuperSonics also came to the Great Western Forum to familiarize themselves with the venue.  .

    In the past few days since arriving in Los Angeles, the Sonics have been subjected to noise interference every day and various situations have occurred during training.

    It wasn¡¯t like this in previous years!

    The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum they borrowed is also the home court of the Clippers. Clippers fans and Lakers fans are really difficult to deal with, so renting the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is the most common thing when the Lakers' opponents come to Los Angeles to play in the playoffs.  Case.

    But it¡¯s different now, the Lakers have Zhang Hao

    Zhang Hao is a student at the University of Southern California. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is also the home court of the USC Trojans. Those who are already working in Los Angeles have no interest in interfering with the Sonics' preparations. They are very proud, but students are bored.  , saw the Sonics players training at their basketball club's gym, and immediately ran to cause all sorts of minor troubles.

    Fortunately, the Sonics players are not new players, and they are used to this kind of situation in the playoffs.

    After almost a week of rest, the second round of the playoffs is about to begin.

    Since 1991, the Lakers have not broken through the second round. Now, facing last year's runner-up in the second round, the pressure is not small, but the Lakers are not afraid of each other when preparing for the game. They lead 3 to 1 in the regular season.  The SuperSonics, and Barkley and O'Neal are particularly eager to prove themselves. Wilkins, Jerome Corsi, Brian Shaw, James Robinson and others are all here for the championship. The motivation is greater than the pressure.  More sufficient.

    After a morning of training, at noon, the last two individual awards of the regular season were announced.

    The Hawks' Mutombo won the second Defensive Player of the Year award in his career with a crushing attitude, receiving 51% of the votes. His defensive performance was even better than in the 1994-95 season.

    The Nuggets felt that Mutombo was too old because he claimed to be 31 years old and were unwilling to give him an $80 million contract. The Hawks gave it to him and won a best defensive player!

    This is not surprising. If Payton's defensive performance wasn't so good last year, Mutombo's three consecutive dpoys wouldn't have been a problem.

    What sparked a heated discussion at noon today was the Most Improved Award announced together with the best defensive player.

    Trail Blazers power forward Rasheed Wallace received 24 votes, a record low number of votes to win the Most Improved Award.

    The second most improved award winner was Garnett with 23 votes, Antonio McDyess ranked third with 20 votes, Zhang Hao ranked fourth with 18 votes, and Joe Smith received 14 votes.

    Apart from the five of them, only Heat substitute center Isaac Austin scored 1 point. Isaac Austin averaged 9.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. Isaac Austin averaged 5.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game last season.  Board In other words, from a progress perspective, Isaac Austin is already the sixth-fastest improving player this season.

    And the five players who have improved the most are the five power forwards in the class of 1995!

    The most bizarre thing is that Zhang Hao was also included in the list, ranking fourth in the mvp vote, and fourth in the mip vote!

 Chapter 285 285. When the wind rises and the rain stops, it explodes at the beginning!  (6K please monthly ticket)

    "Akers, you almost won the Most Improved Award. What do you think of this voting for the Most Improved Award?"

    "This means that my progress is not fast enough, so this award was not awarded to me. I think I should continue to work hard and strive to get this award."

    "" The reporter really wanted to stand up and point at Zhang Hao's nose and curse - am I asking you this?

    This guy¡¯s answers always leave people wondering what to say next.

    The reporter struggled to squeeze out the next question. It was a very ordinary question. He asked about Barkley's performance in the first round and what preparations he had made for the second round. The reporter did not look for trouble anymore. Anyway, as long as it is Zhang Hao now  During the interview, even if the other party didn't say a word, the news ratings would not be low when the video clips were played.

    Winning the scoring title has greatly increased Zhang Hao's popularity. In the past, many passers-by liked to watch him play and it was a pleasure to watch. Now, many passers-by fans have begun to become fans because of the scoring title.

    There is a qualitative difference between being first in the scoring list and second in the scoring list. If you have the ability to be the scoring champion but have not won the scoring champion, you are still not the scoring champion. If you have won it, you are the real scoring champion.

    After the interview, Zhang Hao was about to go home. The awards were not announced until noon. After the training in the afternoon, the interview came.

    Zhang Hao is already very skilled in dealing with the media, and he is having a great time. Anyway, he just answers in the opposite direction if he thinks the reporter wants to hear what kind of answer he wants.

    Zhang Hao is going to have a good night's rest tonight, and the second round will start tomorrow.

    Now his mentality is very peaceful and the team is strong. He relies on this team to strive for a championship in the year when Barkley is in hot playoff form.

    He checked and found that if he wins the championship this year, he will win the championship earlier than Magic. Moreover, he will be the youngest championship player. There has never been a championship player younger than him Zhang. In the next ten years, high school players will win the championship.  If there are more new players, they may be refreshed, but it is also possible that no one will be refreshed after 2006.

    As for fmvp or something, I haven¡¯t thought of it that far yet. First defeat the Sonics in front of us, and there will be the Jazz behind us, so it¡¯s still early.

    After changing into short-sleeved shorts, Zhang Hao met Jason Williams when he came out of the locker room

    "Aix, you are only 7 votes short of winning the Most Improved Award. It's such a pity."

    "I thank you!"

    Seeing Jason Williams¡¯ regretful look, Zhang Hao couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.

    But Jason Williams was right, he really almost won the Most Improved Award.

    Under normal circumstances, there is always some regret when you almost get an award, but if you don't get this award, you really feel a little bit regretful. If you don't get it this time, it will be even less likely to get it in the future, but more  It's a blessing.

    If you really get it, you will be ridiculed again

    However, this time the top five in the Most Improved Award were all power forwards from their 1995 generation. In this case, Zhang Hao found that he might have really underestimated the potential and strength of the power forwards from the 1995 generation.

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers and SuperSonics met in the playoffs for the second time in three years. The SuperSonics were the overall runner-up last season. The Lakers formed a super lineup this year. This matchup attracted much attention. On May 5, the series between the two teams  On the first match day of the tournament, there were no other games. The media and fans focused all their attention on the two teams.

    At 6:40 in the evening, at the game site at the Great Western Forum Arena, the fans finally felt restless!

    Since Magic retired due to illness, the Lakers have failed to win a playoff match against a true championship-level opponent for five consecutive years. In the first round of 1992, they were defeated 3-1 by the runner-up Trail Blazers.  Get rid of them. In 1993, they were defeated by the overall runner-up team 3-2 in the first round. In 1994, they did not make the playoffs. In 1995, they were eliminated by the Spurs, who reached the Western Conference Finals. The Spurs were the theoretical favorites in the Western Conference back then. Last year  , was killed by the Rockets in the second round

    There was nothing we could do in those years, the team really didn¡¯t have the strength, but this year is different!

    Although they defeated the Sonics the year before last, Lakers fans did not dare to underestimate the Sonics, last year's overall runner-up team.

    This year's SuperSonics record is only ranked third in the Western Conference, but their record is still top-notch. They just reached the Finals last year. Payton and Kemp were at their peak. Schrempf, Jose Hawkins, Sam  -Perkins and others performed better this year than last year Even if they are only third in the Western Conference, the SuperSonics' championship probability is the same as that of the Lakers and Jazz!

    When the Sonics players came on the field, there were overwhelming boos.

    When the home team¡¯s five-man group of O¡¯Neal, Zhang Hao, Barkley, Kenny Anderson, and Magic walked out of the player tunnel one after another.!

    Score 5 points in a row!

    It¡¯s not over yet. In the next round, Zhang Hao cut into the lever and hit a throw. At 3 minutes and 24 seconds of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers made their first shot of the game. O¡¯Neal George Lynch grabbed the rebound and passed it to Kenny Anderson.  , O'Neal and Zhang Hao counterattacked, O'Neal attracted a double attack, Zhang Hao followed up and received a long pass from Kenny Anderson and dunked the ball into the basket, which also caused a foul on Payton who actively retreated from defense.

    As Zhang Hao hit the extra free throw, the SuperSonics called a timeout!

    The Lakers scored 5 consecutive goals in the beginning, including Zhang Hao who scored 4 goals in a row. He scored 10 points in the first 3 and a half minutes. The Lakers got off to a 12-6 start!

    No one expected this situation, not the Sonics, the Lakers, the fans at the sceneincluding Zhang Hao himself. He didn't expect that at the beginning of the second round, his score would explode!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 286 286. The iron-blooded battle came very suddenly (9K monthly votes requested!)

    The defense arranged by George Karl against the Lakers' starting lineup is very layered.

    First of all, it is the consumption of confrontation. Although McIlvay cannot guard O'Neal, his strength in the summer is not in vain. He can have an impact on O'Neal in the confrontation. How much is how much? Payton is against Kenny Anderson,  Kemp on Zhang Hao and Jose Hawkins on Doug Christie are also exerting confrontation and influencing each other.

    Then came the flanking attack, the flanking attack on O'Neal, and there was no mention of letting Zhang Hao run to catch the ball and shoot. On the contrary, every time Zhang Hao used the pick-and-roll or reverse running to get an open space, the rest of the Sonics team immediately covered it.  And deliberately exposed one of Kenny Anderson and Doug Christie's open shooting opportunities.

    At this time, if Zhang Hao receives the ball, passing the ball is actually the best option in theory, and it also gives O'Neal other opportunities to pass the ball except for George Lynch who cuts in and directly attacks the frame.

    George Karl didn¡¯t want to lock down the Lakers¡¯ offense. He just wanted the Lakers to pass the ball more, defend key points, prioritize secondary points, and do so when the confrontation is sufficient.

    If you pass too many passes, it is easy to make mistakes, and there is a very high level of defense against O'Neal first and Zhang Hao second. Even Kenny Anderson and George Karl are willing to let the ball go. Although Kenny Anderson's overall strength is better than Van Exel  Strong and a more stable core player, but this year, the Sonics are not as afraid of stray shots as they were two years ago.

    But tonight, Zhang Hao was like a man possessed by Van Exel, throwing the ball whenever he had the slightest chance!

    As long as he avoids Kemp's defense, even if Jose Hawkins or Payton comes in to make up, he will shoot directly without hesitation. This is definitely a unique style of play.

    George Karl didn¡¯t expect this situation at all. Zhang Hao¡¯s style of play can definitely be called unique!  It¡¯s even more extreme than in the regular season!

    Zhang Hao averaged 21 shots per game in the regular season, second only to Jordan in the league with 23.1 shots per game, and more than Malone, Glenn Rice, and Richmond who averaged 20 shots per game.

    Judging from the way the Lakers played in the first round, George Karl believes that by the playoffs, the Silver Fox of the Lakers has had enough of letting the three fat guys paddle in the water, and they should let O'Neal, Barkley, and Magic take the lead. After all, Zhang Hao still has  Young, inexperienced in playoffs

    But Zhang Hao made George Karl feel the impact of young people and what it means to be fearless!

    Zhang Hao really threw it and really scored. There was nothing George Karl could do.

    The key is Zhang Hao¡¯s size. Once Kemp is shaken off and everyone else except Schrempf is on defense, if Zhang Hao catches the ball and really wants to throw it, we can only bet on Zhang Hao¡¯s bad touch.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s touch tonight was outstanding!  After accepting Kemp's confrontation, he threw it when he had the slightest chance, and he threw it in!

    ¡­¡­

    Don¡¯t say that George Karl was stunned by Zhang Hao¡¯s shot, the Lakers were almost the same.

    Del Harris didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to play like this, but if he made the shot, it was a good shot!

    O¡¯Neal started the game with 2 points and 2 assists. He was having a great time. He felt like a magician He turned around and looked at the magician. Yes, he really looked like one!

    Although the number of shots was reduced and he was not able to beat the fierce opponent as much as he had imagined before the game, it still felt good. Anyway, O'Neal felt that the cooperation with Zhang Hao was particularly comfortable this time.

    As for Zhang Hao

    ¡°The way the Lakers¡¯ No. 8 high school rookie plays is so cool!¡±

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you make a profit, it's a great choice, it's a good choice, it's a chance to seize every opportunity. As for not making a profit isn't it a success!

    Regarding how to partner with O'Neal, Zhang Hao has been thinking about it for a season. The play tonight is one of the plays he has thought about, but there is no good opportunity to try it.

    O¡¯Neal was paddling for most of the regular season, but after the All-Star weekend, he was rushing for the scoring title again

    It¡¯s not a mistake to play against the Suns in the playoffs. Barkley played so well, and everyone wanted to let Barkley play more. As a result, Barkley was very restrained. When the third game came to the home court of the Suns, Barkley did not continue to beat his old team.

    When playing against the SuperSonics, Zhang Hao didn't think about playing like this at first. Hey, when an opportunity arose, he subconsciously played like that. It was really comfortable!

    After only playing for 3 and a half minutes, the Silver Foxes did not make any adjustments. The tactical framework was set at the beginning. The players made independent adjustments. That is the player's own business.

    ¡­¡­

    After returning from the timeout, the Sonics did not make any lineup adjustments.

    The SuperSonics attack, ball in the frontcourt.

    After receiving Kemp's serve, Payton did not control the ball himself, but passed it to; The Lakers played these five players and continued to strengthen their confrontation after the start of the second half.

    George Karl is already prepared, even predicting what changes the Lakers will make, and then counterattacking in a targeted manner.

    This is the advantage of the team that takes the initiative in rhythm.

    But the Lakers didn't play like that, but continued to grind. It didn't matter how many points they were ahead or behind. Anyway, they couldn't be too far ahead. The SuperSonics also swept the first round and advanced. There were many goals against O'Neal and Barkley.  A good defensive strategy has gotten better after entering the high-confrontation stage, but the defensive preparations made by the Lakers are actually not bad. If the Sonics want to play a team offense, they can defend very well. Now they are facing off.  Yes, he also did a good job of defending against Seattle's star offense.

    What makes the game even more uncomfortable at this time is the SuperSonics team, which is well prepared to deal with the Lakers' changes!

    After the confrontation started, Kemp got inside and was flanked. Fortunately, Payton and Schrempf, who came on in the second half of the third quarter, were able to play well on the outside. Their efficiency was lowered by the high confrontation, but they were still able to compete with him.  The Lakers contended.

    The SuperSonics have been waiting for the Lakers to change their rhythm after taking the initiative, but the Lakers did not Even if they gave up the opportunity to take the lead, the Lakers did not adjust their style of play after three timeouts and insisted on playing like this.

    During each timeout, Barkley, Kenny Anderson, O'Neal, and Brian Shaw were all ready to hear the signal from the coaching staff to launch an attack, but none

    After three quarters, the Lakers and SuperSonics tied at 74 to 75. In this quarter, the Lakers only scored 18 points, but the SuperSonics only scored 17 points!

    ??It¡¯s okay to play like this After entering the inter-quarter break, seeing that this quarter clenched the score and narrowed the point difference by one point, the Lakers players can also accept this style of play.

    It¡¯s a very aggressive iron-blooded style of play, but as long as you can win in the end, it¡¯s a good style of play.

    However, the Lakers players still underestimated the radicalness of the "head coach".

    During the break, the tactics deployed by Del Harris made both Barkley and O'Neal curse.

    Butthinking of that scene, both of them felt goosebumps rising!

    Dry!

    You must do that!

 Chapter 287 287. Extreme rogue flow!  (7K please monthly ticket)

    After the interval, O'Neal, who played the first half of the third quarter and the last two minutes of the second half, was not sent out at first. The Lakers sent out Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, and Jason Williams.  , Barkley, Zhang Hao's combination.

    The SuperSonics fielded a defensive lineup of Payton, McMillan, Larry Stewart, Aaron Williams, and Kemp.

    This time, the SuperSonics judged the Lakers' rotation at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

    Payton walked onto the court and looked at the glasses coach opposite him, sighing to himself that this was indeed the old coach who led a 40-42 team to the finals 15 years ago, and actually successfully predicted them in the second half.  SuperSonics prediction!

    Abandoning many operations that can reverse the rhythm, directly use the most brutal iron-blooded play to break through ten games at once. This operation is indeed very unexpected, and it directly kills the SuperSonics, who have had the initiative to control the rhythm of the game from the beginning.  Changes the team can make.

    Fighting for defense and competing for stars, in the former, the Sonics had the advantage, in the latter, the Lakers had the advantage, and the third quarter was evenly matched.

    This style of play is simple, crude and radical, but it kills a lot of changes and relies purely on the performance of the stars

    Watching Zhang Hao, who had already scored 31 points, pass the ball to Kenny Anderson, who had 11 points and 4 assists, Payton put away his distracting thoughts.

    Next, just fight to the death!

    Prevent the opponent's attack and work hard to score on your own side!

    After Zhang Hao served, he ran to the frontcourt and was stuck by Kemp. Barkley came to the high post on the right side of the three-second zone and relied on Aaron Williams to receive the pass from Kenny Anderson. He did not rely on his mobility to make more plays.  Flexible offense, when he received the ball at this position in the third quarter, he usually chose to break through, but this time, Barkley chose to go hard!

    Few power forwards can withstand Barkley's back-up push, and Aaron Williams is obviously not one of them. Barkley slowly but unstoppably knocked Aaron Williams into close range step by step.  Turn around, take a step forward, and hit the throw against Larry Stewart who was retracting!

    With the strength of the Lakers¡¯ stars, the SuperSonics really feel a pain in the ass.

    For this ball, Barkley started to play from the high post. Let's double attack in advance. Jason Williams can directly cut in to eat the cake. When Barkley used the back play to adjust the rhythm, he hit a close turn and throw. He could not stop the double attack again.  live!

    76 to 75, the Lakers lead by 1 point!

    It¡¯s time for the Sonics offense.

    The Lakers blocked the basket, and Kempla went to a long two-point position close to the three-point line and made a mid-range shot after receiving a pass from Payton!

    Kemp himself felt that this goal was a fluke. He failed to make two mid-range shots in the third quarter.

    When the Lakers attack again, Kemp still focuses on Zhang Hao, who made 11 of 20 shots tonight. Although Zhang Hao only made 2 of 6 shots in the third quarter, Zhang Hao already scored 31 points.

    Barkley continued to play from the high post and turned around to throw from close range This time, Larry Stewart's defense was faster and more in place, but Barkley's throw did not go in.

    But Larry Stewart shrank early, Jason Williams cut in from the bottom line, and scored two points with a make-up dunk!

    ? 78 to 77, the Lakers once again completed the lead!

    In this situation, the Sonics have a vague feeling that something is not good.

    When the Sonics attacked, this time the Lakers provided a more intense confrontation. When Payton used the pick-and-roll to rush inside, the Lakers quickly shrank, and Kemp once again found himself in the two-point area.  Caught the ballmissed the shot!

    The SuperSonics quickly retreated, and in this round, Kemp defended Barkley.

    There are very few people in the league who can withstand Barkley's back-up push, but Kemp is one of them!

    Kemp can do a very good job of restricting Zhang Hao and Barkley from playing in the back, similar to Rodman of the Bulls.

    Kenny Anderson immediately directed his teammates to adjust their positions. Barkley went to the mid-range on the right side of the three-second zone to contain him. Jason Williams moved from the left baseline to the right baseline. Doug Christie came from the right bottom corner.  Left bottom corner.

    Then, Zhang Hao took Aaron Williams to the middle distance of the left baseline, relying on Aaron Williams to ask for the ball!

    At this time, the Lakers no longer need to use too many practical actions to explain. The SuperSonics have already understood the Lakers' tactics.

    It¡¯s just a back slap!

    Barkley¡¯s post-up play is already very slow. When he shot in the first two rounds, the attack time was already after 18 seconds.

    But compared to Barkley's post-up play, Zhang Hao's post-up play was even slower. He slowly used the post-up play to adjust the rhythm of holding the ball. The Sonics responded very quickly and no longer watched the Lakers use the post-up play to score steadily. McMillan left the field open.  Doug Christie, shrinking and flanking Zhang Hao; After O'Neal came on the court, the Lakers shot 3 of 4 from the field, and the SuperSonics made all 4 three-pointers. The Lakers went 6-0 and stopped the Sonics at 6 minutes and 11 seconds of the fourth quarter.  Got it!

    93 to 83, the Lakers extended their lead to 10 points!

    Halfway through the final quarter, the Sonics only scored 8 points. In fact, if we look at the second half, compared to the third quarter, it was not particularly bad. Both teams scored more than ten points in the third quarter.

    But in the final quarter, the Lakers spared no effort in back-up play. In half the game, including tip-ins, they made 9 of 13 shots and soared to 19 points!

    After a 19-8 run, the Lakers lead by 10 points!

    There are still 5 minutes and 49 seconds left, and we are 10 points behind. This point difference is not so big that we cannot catch up.

    However, the Sonics players feel deep despair!

    Just now, O'Neal played 3 and Zhang Hao took the ball and turned over and jumped. The Lakers were rarely made of free throws in this quarter.

    Watching Barkley, Zhang Hao, and O'Neal continue to play in the back and maintain an efficient offense the SuperSonics have no idea how to defend!

    If they try their best to drill inside and look for mid-range shooting opportunities like they did in the third quarter, they may be able to do what they did in the third quarter. Although they are not playing efficiently, they can at least score.

    But the Lakers offense is no longer a question of efficiency or inefficiency, but invincibility!

    No, after the official timeout came back, McIlvay finally tried his best to wear down O'Neal for three consecutive rounds, but before the Sonics could use O'Neal's physical strength after carving out O'Neal's 216 centimeters tall and 120 kilograms-plus white bear.  When it was time to slow down, O'Neal was replaced. Barkley, who had rested for a while, came up, along with Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao.

    Another rogue back-to-back rule has begun!

    Trailing by 10 points, the Lakers sent three power forwards from close range to defend the basket. Although Kemp was able to hit the basket with a pretty good shooting percentage, it was difficult to chase points, coupled with the Lakers' rogue post-up play.  Super dominance, after the SuperSonics officially suspended, there is only one way - bet on touch!

    ??Defensive tactics are gambling, and betting on feel is also gambling. It just depends on which side has better luck.

    And luck has to be based on the actual situation. The Lakers have already begun to prepare for the fourth quarter in the third quarter, not only consuming their own outside shooting but also consuming the opponent's outside shooting feel.

    There are always people who think that they are the chosen one, that they are lucky enough to make the next shot.

    There may be a chosen one, but the SuperSonics star is obviously not

    The SuperSonics deliberately accelerated the pace after the official timeout. They almost completed the offense in 11 or 12 seconds. At one point, they made 5 three-pointers in a row. From 6:22 to 11:33 of the fourth quarter, they made a total of 3-pointers.  Made 9 three-pointers, only 2 of 9!

    Coupled with Kemp's counterattack dunk and Payton's two free throws, the Sonics only scored 10 points 5 minutes and 22 seconds after the official timeout, despite their best efforts!

    On the Lakers' side, no matter how fast the opponent increased their speed, they played steadily. After 9 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Sonics didn't even care if there were Lakers players on the outside. The Sonics players would shrink when they came inside to catch the ball. The Lakers didn't either.  Shake, press for time, and take action after 20 seconds.

    With the Lakers' style of play, the three post-up maniacs were very tired. In the last two minutes, Zhang Hao and O'Neal, who were still on the court, had no accuracy in post-up play. However, from the official timeout to 10 points in the fourth quarter, nearly 4  In minutes, the Lakers still scored 7 points steadily!

    Even though the Lakers didn't score a point for more than a minute from 10:06 to 11:11 of the fourth quarter, they still firmly maintained their lead!

    No matter how the Sonics change, the Lakers will waste time and fight in advance. When the Sonics launch an attack, they will shrink.

    The play style is very rogue, but when the conditions are met, it is invincible!

    When Zhang Hao missed Kenny Anderson's mid-range shot, he slipped to the baseline and completed the dunk to open the point difference to double digits. Payton faced Doug Christie's three-pointer directly from outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer.  After Zhan went out of bounds, there were only 14 seconds left in the game. After Kenny Anderson advanced past half court, he did not continue to attack, and the Sonics stopped guarding.

    The score at this time was 104 to 93. As the final whistle sounded, the Lakers defeated the SuperSonics with an 11-point advantage and won their first victory in the second round!

    After the game, the on-site media rushed into the stadium, and the scene of major media queuing up to go to the NBA headquarters to pay the deposit was already a beautiful sight after the Lakers game.

    Payton looked at the Lakers' three back-up maniacs who were surrounded by reporters with their arms akimbo. He didn't think that his team would definitely win against the Lakers, but he never imagined that they would lose like this.  , lost without any power to fight back!

    With a score of 30 to 18 in the final quarter, those who didn¡¯t know would have thought that the Lakers used such crazy impact to overwhelm the Sonics in the final quarter.

    After playing for 48 minutes, Zhang Hao made 15 of 26 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored 42 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal. This data looks like it was borrowed by the Lakers.  Under the leadership of Zhang Hao, the Sonics were crushed.

    But only the fans at the scene, the fans in front of the TV, and the Sonics players themselves knew what the Sonics went through in the final quarter!

 Chapter 288 288. The so-called perfection cannot be sought (6K monthly votes requested)

    On May 5th, there is only one game in the NBA playoffs, the first game of the series between the Lakers and SuperSonics.

    The SuperSonics have a higher call for the Finals than the Lakers and Jazz. After all, they just reached the Finals last year. Payton and Kemp are in their prime. Schrempf has become more and more demonic as he gets older this season.  , Jose Hawkins and Sam Perkins performed better in the regular season than last year. Although the record declined slightly, the core reason is because there were many high-quality role players who joined the SuperSonics last summer. Larry  -Stewart, Greg Graham, Antonio Harvey, David Wingate and others all play more time in the regular season. George Karl also wants to let Payton, Kemp and others play more in the regular season.  Rest and conserve energy for the playoffs.

    Payton averaged 37 minutes per game in the regular season this season, and Kemp averaged 33 minutes per game, both the lowest in the past five years.

    By the playoffs, the playing time of those players who had been favored in the summer was significantly reduced. In the first round, the Sonics rotated 9 people like last year, easily sweeping the Rockets, showing a performance that was no less than last year's playoffs.

    The game between the Lakers and SuperSonics has received very high attention. It is broadcast live on 4 TV stations in North America, 4 TV stations in China and Asian countries and regions, and TV stations in the UK, Spain, and Greece in Europe.

    Although the Lakers had an advantage at the start, fans who could understand the situation and see the impure tactics found that the Sonics had the initiative in the rhythm.

    Sure enough, after halftime, the Sonics, who took the initiative to change the rhythm, seized the opportunity to overtake the score.

    The Sonics didn't fall far behind when facing the Lakers' strong interior defense with O'Neal. When O'Neal rested, the Sonics were able to contend with the Lakers with Barkley, Magic, and Zhang Hao, and they could still catch him.  Chance to overtake the score.

    During the halftime break, many fans thought that the Lakers were going to be finished this year and that their home court advantage might be taken away from the beginning and they would fall into overall passivity.

    At this time, people thought that the Lakers would try to make changes in the third quarter to seize the initiative in the game.

    The result was very unexpected. The Lakers played defense in the third quarter This was really hard for the media, fans, and TV commentators to understand.

    The Lakers have the capital to grind out defense, but they have to compete with the SuperSonics, who have had a better tacit understanding of cooperation for many years, especially in the playoffs after entering the iron-blooded era in the past two years At the beginning of the fourth quarter, more  One thought the Sonics would have the upper hand.

    Then, I saw the Lakers¡¯ amazing operation

    At this time, people realized that the Lakers' stubborn defense in the third quarter was not because they had nothing to do, nor did they want to transform into an iron-blooded team. They were just paving the way for endless back-up play in the fourth quarter!

    For a full 10 minutes, the Lakers maintained a super post-up offensive for a full 10 minutes in the final quarter. Barkley, O'Neal, and Zhang Hao were all exhausted in one game, but they continued their endless post-up offense for a full 10 minutes.  And rush to grab!

    Scored 28 points in 10 minutes It¡¯s simply incomprehensible!

    It¡¯s like¡­ No, you¡¯re just being mean!

    At this time, people remembered that the Lakers had played like this in the regular season.

    But that kind of situation is very rare, it only happens once or twice. After a long time, it doesn¡¯t happen again, and people forget about it.

    Who knew that in the playoffs, the Lakers would resort to this trick again!

    For a time, the term "rogue stream" was floating around the Lakers again

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "I scored 42 points, Kemp scored 32 points, and we have a 10-point lead. We currently have a 10-point lead in the series, which is good and good I completed 4 dunks on the last offense, which is good and good. The game against the Sonics gave me  It's really not difficult for Kemp to block shots. Although he was much better than Griffin in the playoffs as he focused on the inside, he also had Anthony's attributes"

    In the early morning of the next day after playing against the Sonics, Zhang Hao entered the learning mode and completed the game review, looking at the completion of the task.

    It was very thrilling. Fortunately, the defensive adjustments in the second half prevented Kemp from completing another dunk in the second half. He got his fourth dunk at the last moment and completed the task in a thrilling manner.

    ¡°After replaying this game, Zhang Hao still felt it was thrilling.

    The Sonics are really strong!

    If he hadn¡¯t made suggestions to the old fox at halftime, it might have been difficult to predict how the game would play out in the second half.

    This move is actually quite risky. If one of Barkley or O'Neal consumes too much physical energy in the third quarter, and cannot guarantee long-term back-up physical strength and stability in the fourth quarter, he or she will score 18 points tonight.  Kenny Anderson's shot was shaky in the final quarter

    That¡¯s very risky.

    &nbsp?Wang was selected hand in hand.

    The third team is led by Stockton, with Anfernee Hardaway, Vin Baker, Glenn Rice and O'Neal selected together.

    In terms of the best defensive team, the first team was led by Mutombo, and Payton, Jordan, Pippen, and Malone were selected together.

    The second team is led by Stockton, Mookie Blakelow, Anthony Mason Jr., PJ Brown, and Olajuwon were selected together.

    ¡­¡­

    After the tactical meeting and simple defensive coordination training this morning, O'Neal hugged his laptop that he had snatched from Zhang Hao, plugged in the network cable, and kept browsing the webpage After the changes in the headlines of the NBA official website were refreshed, click on it immediately  Went in and saw my name.

    O'Neal is about to burst into tears. What a risk, he got a third formation!

    Playing 50 games in the regular season, he thought he was going to fall out of the All-NBA Team. As a result, he received 9 points more votes than Mourning in the All-NBA Team, which was less than two first-place votes. He was selected for the All-NBA Team!

    As for a certain high school player, O'Neal chose to ignore it, which makes people angry just looking at him!

    Why is it so easy to fight?

    So many people in their Lakers team have no season honors, and this high school student just doesn¡¯t fit in!

    O'Neal feels that he has to work harder next season. Regardless of whether he wins the championship this year, he has to work harder next season. Otherwise, he will not be able to last for a while, and he will have no confidence at all when compared with that high school student, so he can only  Become the second player on the team.

    He doesn¡¯t want to!

    Competition within the team starts nowfrom the summer!

    To win the championship this year, O'Neal still has to point to the high school student.

    "If you want to compete for MVP, you have to ensure attendance like in previous years. Do you need to maintain a good weight to avoid injuriesor do you have to be lazy like that fat guy? No! If you are lazy, you will not be able to produce good data and perform well  ¡­¡±

 Chapter 289 289. I don¡¯t want to play here again this year (10,000 words, please vote for me!)

    O¡¯Neal wants to play happily with the second fat man, but he also wants to hit the MVP. He is very torn, but he wants the latter more He is 25 years old and will be 26 in the second half of next season He is starting to worry.

    Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that he was selected.

    If the scoring leader fails to make the first team, it will be really embarrassing, but in the history of the NBA, it is not that there have been cases where the scoring leader did not make the first team. On the contrary, there are many cases, such as being fat.

    However, apart from Zhang Hao himself who is a little worried, his teammates, including O'Neal, are not surprised that Zhang Hao continues to be selected for the first round. This illustrates a situation from a certain perspective-Zhang Hao, who is only 20 years old and in second grade, has already  Let people get used to him being a first-team player!

    The last time a player like this was named Larry Bird.

    Since the modern basketball era began in 1976, only Larry Bird can be like Zhang Hao, and no one else.

    At 4:30 pm Western time, the fierce battle between the Heat and the Knicks begins!

    Fans like to watch offensive battles. Fans of any generation like to watch offensive battles. The reason why the Showtime dynasty in the 1980s was able to bring the NBA to the world with five championships in nine years was not only the good operation of David Stern, but more importantly, Showtime  The dynasty style of play just looks good.

    However, the emergence of the Iron-Blooded War also makes people¡¯s blood boil!

    Before the first game of the series between the Heat and the Knicks started, the media broke the news that the number of paid viewings for this game had set a new record for a single game in the playoffs this season, with more than 1,400 paid bookings.

    In the end, the number of paid views of this game reached more than 19.72 million, making it the first game in this year's playoffs to have more than 15 million paid views. The previous third game between the Magic and the Heat had 13.55 million paid views.  For the rest of the time, this game has been viewed more than 6 million times!

    The game was extremely fierce, with constant conflicts. Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy were teachers and students. When Jeff Van Gundy first became an assistant coach, he did so as a student. At the same time, Pat Riley's side  The best assistant coach is Stan Van Gundy, Jeff Van Gundy¡¯s brother.

    But the two teams played like enemies. Larry Johnson and Mourning almost got into a fight. Although they restrained themselves in the end, there were still 5 technical fouls in the game. Among them, the Heat's best defensive power forward was  After knocking down Ewing, he received his second technical foul and was ejected.

    Although they have home court advantage, the Heat lost to the Knicks 79-86 in the first game, losing their home court advantage right from the start!

    Finally, in the second round of the four-group series, the team with a good record finally lost its home court advantage.

    After crushing all the way, only the fans of the winning team will find the game enjoyable.

    But more fans are neutral fans or passer-by fans and fans who don¡¯t like either team. They want to watch fierce games.

    There are two types of intensity. One is a very intense fight, but each of them defends their home court and steadily drags them into Tianwang Mountain and into the tiebreaker. Compared with this, the other type is more popular - crazy  Fight for home field advantage!

    The Heat lost their home court advantage, but immediately sparked enthusiasm for paid reservations for the second game of the series between the two teams after the game.

    After the game between the Heat and the Knicks, half an hour later, at 7:30 pm Western time, another high-profile battle came - the second game of the series between the Lakers and the SuperSonics.

    The series between the Lakers and SuperSonics will start first. Among the four teams in the second round, only the Lakers and SuperSonics swept their opponents in the first round and advanced, so they started first.

    The day before yesterday, the Lakers played a style of play that was beyond everyone's expectations in the first game of the series, which also triggered a controversy about post-up play.

    Controversy is controversy. Post-up play has been around for so many years. According to probability, although the probability of the Lakers playing this way is very low, it is not impossible. No, it just happened.

    But not many people think that the Lakers will regard this style of play as a regular style of play. After all, the Lakers are a showtime dynasty. When the Lakers formed their current lineup, all the media, fans, and experts used this lineup.  The super lineup of the Biao showtime dynasty.

    When it comes to defense, the Heat and Knicks play in an iron-blooded style.

    Put it to the Lakers, that¡¯s an ugly style of play

    However, after the game started, the TV commentator keenly discovered that the Lakers directly started to press the rhythm, find confrontation, and sharpen the defense!

    I just want to push star tactics to the extreme!

    "Rogue style" is actually a type of star play style.

    This game beginsAfter escaping from the law, I felt guilty

    Zhang Hao fought like this in the first half and played so well, but the rest of them failed to provide more help.

    Even someone as thick-skinned as O'Neal would still be ashamed at this moment.

    Zhang Hao seemed to have never slacked off. When his teammates were slacking off, Zhang Hao used practical actions to express¡ª¡ª

    When you are working hard, I am also working hard.

    When you are slacking off, I am still working hard.

    When you can go back to the home of Tianwang Mountain with 2-1, you want to take Los Angeles 3-1.

    Thanks to Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in the first half and especially the second quarter, they were only 7 points behind.

    It would be difficult for anyone to force them to tighten up during the game. Otherwise, there would not be so many teams in the NBA that have a strength advantage and carelessly underestimate their opponents and get upset. What's more, the Lakers are not that good compared to the Sonics.  The advantage of fighting can only be said that their advantage is more clear. After meeting the conditions to fight, the opponent can only parry

    Del Harris feels the changes in his players and is very satisfied.

    He also discovered this at the beginning, but the head coach is not omnipotent and cannot do anything about some things.

    Fortunately, Zhang Hao held on to the score at halftime and did not collapse to an extent that was difficult to make up for.

    Now, the players know that things are getting tighter, and there is halftime to make adjustments. Del Harris still feels that there is hope!

    However, the Sonics' half-court offense suffered almost no real attrition. It was a bit difficult for the Lakers to win in the second half like they did in the first and third games.

    But it¡¯s difficult, but it¡¯s better than collapse. There¡¯s always a chance!

    ¡­¡­

    On the other side, Zhang Hao washed his face, dried it, and looked at the prompt "Peter Pan's stamina pool (bronze) (already used in this game)" and felt a little dizzy.

    There were more than 20 half-court attacks and 19 successful shots, which is almost the same as playing a game in normal times.

    But it¡¯s not that the more than 20 offenses in a 40-minute game can be directly calculated as the physical consumption of more than 20 half-court offenses. On the contrary, when he plays like this in the half-court, he consumes more energy than he usually does in a whole game!

    ??Moreover, not only on offense, but also on defense, he even risked his life, otherwise he would not be able to let his teammates feel his strong desire to win the game.

    Although the defensive effect is not great, it also has some deterrence. There are also two blocks that are just a try Both times were sent to Kemp who tried to dunk Barkley while O'Neal was not around.

    He can play normally. He went all-in in the first half tonight. He didn't dare to be careless in even one round and must seize every possible opportunity in each round.

    There are benefits. The deficit at halftime is actually much better than the worst-case scenario he expected.

    Judging from the fact that his teammates tried to fight after the official timeout in the second quarter, Zhang Hao felt that the enthusiasm of his teammates in the second half should not be a problem.

    But he had the same worries as the Silver Fox - the opponent had already been in good shape in the first half, and failed to rely on conflicts in the second half of the second quarter like the first game

    This time, Zhang Hao understood why players from the Heat, Knicks, and Cavaliers are so fond of causing trouble and rough fouls, just to cause conflicts!  Use the simplest method to raise the confrontation, because even these three teams cannot guarantee that every game can raise the confrontation and suppress the rhythm purely by defense.

    Rough fouls and creating conflicts on the court have also become part of the tactics.

    Within the rules, there is nothing wrong with it. Just like the big loop in the future, being able to use it well is also a skill.

    In the second half, you have to play hard and force the rhythm, and it will probably be counterattacked.

    Under normal circumstances, the Lakers are not afraid. It just depends on which side performs better in the second half.

    But Zhang¡¯s current situation there is a solution!

    "Uncle System, what is the special way to use the Rain Man Card?"

    Goal 1: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help his team win the fourth game of the series and return to the home court with a big score of 3-1.

    Goal 2: If goal 1 is achieved, Zhang Hao needs to publicly state after the end of game 4 of the series that he will not come to this city to play again this year, and he needs to help his team eliminate the Sonics in game 5.

    Rewards: 1. The total points difference between the 4th and 5th games of the series is equivalent to the number of lifespan days, 2. Designated medal: Homecoming Upgrade Card Fragments (13).  "

    "Good guy, must I go for that designated Gold Medal upgrade card?"

    This task has become more stressful.

    However, if possible, Zhang Hao really hopes to resolve this series in 5 games. It seems that the Jazz will lose 1 game at most when facing the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers broke out like that before they won with difficulty.  The next game looks like it won¡¯t last long.

    The Lakers have more veterans than the Jazz. Stockton and Malone cannot be regarded as veterans at all

If the host chooses to refuse, the special use method of the star experience card can only be triggered the next time he encounters it.  Only the task using the method can be reopened."

    Looking at this prompt, Zhang Hao was sure, he just didn¡¯t want him to live too long!

    "Sure enough, good people don't live long! It seems that I am really a great person"

    It must be turned on. Using the Rainman Card for the first time will consume half of the lifespan. He can still hold on for 30 days

    One more thing, Zhang Hao took a look at the several star experience cards he owns. Can those cards enable special usage?

    Thinking about it, I¡¯m really excited!

    At this time, the system prompt came.

    "After the special use method of the star experience card is turned on for the first time, the special use method will be permanently enabled. If the opponent when using the star experience card is the self, the host can choose to use the star experience card one-time or enable the special use method of the star experience card."

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes lit up!

    In other words, using the Jordan Card to fight Jordan in the finals will unlock the special use of the Jordan Card.

    that is¡­¡­

    ¡°In short, this is definitely a model that can play a big role, that is

    Rainman¡¯s top star experience card has a lifespan of 60 days. Even if it is halved for the first time, it will still take 30 days.

    Jordan¡¯s era-level star who broke 100¡­

    It¡¯s a bit life-consuming!  It feels like committing suicide if I use it more than once!  "

    ??Also, he analyzed it and found that it does not mean that he is invincible if he uses this method.

    It really compares to the role played on the field. Zhang Hao analyzed it. He and Kemp just said that each has its own characteristics. Under normal circumstances, his own performance may be better, because his playing style is more versatile, and his own  Still making progress.

    Even if it is Jordan, if he plays according to the current style of play of the Lakers, even if Jordan himself joins directly, it will probably be difficult at the moment and he will have to adjust the overall style of play.

    There is also the issue of matching.

    In other words, if it is to be used, it should be used when there is a need for a change in his play style.

    Putting this matter aside for now, this game is the most important thing at the moment.

    As soon as I thought about it, the system prompt came.

    "The host uses the Sean Kemp Star Experience Card on the contracted player Zhang Hao. Because Zhang Hao is a special contract player, the host chooses a special use method. Since the Sean Kemp Star Experience Card is used for the first time, the consumption lifespan is halved and consumed for 30 days.  Lifespan, enable special usage"

    "Sean Kemp 1996-1997 version, height 208 cm, weight 117 kg, ability evaluation 94, offense 95, defense 91, three-pointer -, 87 mid-range shot, 98 layup, 86 speed, 93 strength, 96 jumping  ¡­

    ¡°Based on various conditions such as body shape, playing style, athletic ability, etc., the matching degree is determined to be 75%¡­¡±

    "Wait, I want to draw a lottery!"

    Zhang Hao yelled in his heart, saving so many lottery opportunities and times just for this time.

    "The host uses a bronze lottery once, and it is designated as a reward for the game in which the contracted player Zhang Hao is participating. Because he is using the ballThe game has entered garbage time!

    The reason why Zhang Hao was so proactive in the last quarter was that he threw 8 times and scored 9 points

    19 of 35 shots, including 4 of 12 three-pointers, plus 9 of 13 free throws, Zhang Hao scored 51 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks. He completed as many as 7 dunks in the game and played a super game.  Crazy performance!

    ¡­¡­

    In the first half, he scored 27 points on 10-of-19 shooting and in the second half, he scored 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting. Zhang Hao scored 51 points. The Lakers led by 21 points with 2 minutes and 02 seconds left. The fans at the scene were completely silent.

    The Sonics team is also in stagnant water.

    The Lakers replaced Fisher, Byron Scott, Brian Shaw, Jason Williams, and Jeromy Kersey.

    What O'Neal planned during the break in the third quarter was to take a good rest in the first half of the quarter and lead the team to victory in the second half Now Brian Shaw, who is looking very nice, lets Fisher make blind shots Sit down now  , can¡¯t stand up!

    Even, I want to lie down

    Because it¡¯s so comfortable!

    In the end, the Lakers reversed and beat the SuperSonics 110-94, making the score 3-1!

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao was surrounded by reporters on the sidelines as he was twisting his waist to relax after drinking.

    The first reporter to ask a question was actually a reporter from Seattle I was really excited when I lost, and I ran pretty fast!

    When asked if he was playing so hard to break Jordan¡¯s single-game scoring record in this year¡¯s playoffs, Zhang Hao responded:

    "50+? Oh, thank you for telling me this news. In fact, I just don't want to come to this city to play again this year, and I decided to win the game quickly."

 Chapter 291 291. A bumper harvest after the rain stops!  (10,000 words, please vote for me)

    Scoring, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, is one of the most talked about topics.

    Regarding scoring, people have had clear classifications for many years.

    Players who can score in double figures in a single game, first-class scorers who can score 20 points, top scorers who can score 30 points, and those who can score 40+ points in a single game are basically superstars. 50+ points in a single game is not considered for most superstars.  It is a rare experience for Yandu

    Will there be a 50+ game in this year¡¯s playoffs?

    Before the start of the playoffs, no one was really sure. The NBA has a history of 50 years, and there have been a total of 24 playoff games with 50+ points in a single game. Calculated, the average is less than once every two years.

    ?Among them, Jordan alone won 7 of them.

    And in some seasons, there are more than one 50+ game in the playoffs, which means that sometimes there may not be a 50+ game in the playoffs for many years.

    But every year, regarding this, a lot of people look forward to seeing such a personal performance.

    There was no 50+ in a single game in the first round of this year's playoffs, but there were quite a few 40+ games in a single game, so many people are looking forward to seeing it in the second round.

    Some people predict that Malone may get it, Jordan may get it, Anfernee Hardaway may get it these three people seem to have a chance.

    There is no doubt about Malone's scoring ability. He has averaged 25+ points per game for 10 consecutive years and has scored a maximum of 61 points in the regular season. With this ability, the Jazz can launch an offense based on his scoring ability. If they beat the Trail Blazers, they have a chance to do it.

    Jordan He ranked first in the playoffs with 50+ points in a single game. It was so normal. He had 50+ points in a single game 4 times before winning the championship, and 3 times after winning the championship. The data before and after winning the championship are basically missing.  The difference is that there is no doubt that the data is collected in non-winning years.

    Grant Hill, this is the expectation for talent. At the age of 24, he averaged 19.9 points per game in his rookie year. People have enough reasons to believe that in three or four years, he will become the strongest player in the league, at least one of them.  There are enough reasons to expect him to break out when the team is far inferior to his opponents.

    Then, 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs really came!  But it wasn't any one of these three. The one who accomplished this achievement beyond expectations was Zhang Hao of the superstar-studded Lakers!

    People don't think Zhang Hao doesn't have this ability, but it's a matter of style of play. The Lakers' style of play seems to be that the superstars take turns to attack each other. This style of play is really coming out. It's very fierce. Last season, they were the overall runner-up and the playoffs.  Before the game started, the SuperSonics, the top-seeded team in the Western Conference that was predicted to reach the finals, could not stop them. However, this style of play also means that the shot rights are dispersed and the data of a single star is not considered.

    The overall play style of the Lakers in the second round is the Lakers version of team play that breaks away from the conventional concept of team play.

    In this case, it is normal for Zhang Hao to be ignored about the high score, and O'Neal was also ignored.

    In the first game of the second-round series between the Lakers and SuperSonics, Zhang Hao played so hard and only scored 42 points, which confirmed the views of the media and fans.

    Then, Zhang Hao scored 51 points in a single game, breaking Jordan's single-game scoring record of 47 points in the first round of this season's playoffs.

    If you are considered capable but don¡¯t get it, you can¡¯t get it. After you really get it, Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring ability has been truly recognized!

    ? 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs, this is the most powerful self-proof of a super scorer!

    On the night and morning of the fourth game between the Lakers and SuperSonics, the media frantically promoted Zhang Hao's 50+ points in a single game, leading the Lakers to defeat the SuperSonics and score 3-1 to gain match point.

    The popularity of the scoring champion has just cooled down after entering the second round. Being selected for the first team for two consecutive years has not brought more popularity to Zhang Hao. He was only selected for the first team in his second year and has been taken for granted. At this time, his single  50+ per game, once again detonating the topic about him!

    No matter how well he played before, he was still dubbed the "Rising Star", just like Grant Hill who played for three years.

    But this season, he won the scoring title, now has 40+ points in a single game three times in the playoffs, and also scored 50+ points in a single game once The moment of becoming a fan has officially begun!

    At this time, in addition to the heated discussion about Zhang Hao's 50+ points in a single game, fans also had other topics.

    One is Zhang Hao¡¯s interview after the game

    ¡°You¡¯re showing off like the wind, as always, but you¡¯re showing off after you¡¯ve really done something awesome. There¡¯s just no way to refute it.

    Zhang Hao directly stated that he wanted to defeat the Sonics in five games and did not want to play in Seattle this year. Naturally, he offended a large number of Seattle fans.

    But it also made fans pay more attention to the fifth game series between the Lakers and SuperSonics.

    &Our negotiations with the players union have not been able to reach an agreement, and the summer of 1998 is very likely to be suspended. This year, many college students have chosen to enter the NBA early. Due to the success of Zhang Hao and Garnett, there are more high school students participating in the draft this year.  Quite a few.

    It¡¯s a pity that Duncan can¡¯t be drafted, but many teams have alternatives based on their highest probability picks and second most likely picks, so there are many people to choose from.

    In the evening, after Zhang Hao finished training and had dinner, he held his little Loli and leaned against April Clark to watch the draft lottery.

    It was no different from previous years. There were no obstacles in the drawing process. It was just interesting to see the expressions of the people sent by the teams to draw the lots and listen to the commentator¡¯s analysis

    In the end, the Vancouver Grizzlies, who had the worst record, didn't get any of the top three picks. The Spurs got the No. 3 pick, and the Celtics got the second pick.

    Duncan¡¯s signing was acquired by the Philadelphia 76ers!

 Chapter 292 292. The two evil spirits in full bloom!  (Ten thousand words, please vote for me!)

    The so-called dog licking means licking until there is nothing left.

    Across the screen, Zhang Hao could feel the despair of the management of the Celtics, Spurs, and Nets who went to draw the lottery!

    Especially the Nets, TV commentators are constantly mocking the Nets for giving up the inside and outside combination of Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson for Duncan.

    To be honest, the current Nets team does not look bad. They used Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Jason Williams and other players to build a pretty good lineup of role players in two years.  Teams such as the Heat and Knicks have successively snatched away many players and become "suppliers of role players for strong teams", but they still maintain that in the next few years, they can lead the team to the season by selecting a core or an All-Star.  Post-match strength.

    However, the TV commentator bluntly said that if the Nets keep Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, even if there are not so many high-quality role players, they may still directly enter the playoffs in the first year.

    Although the chance to get Duncan will be lost very early, there is Zhang Hao!  What else do you want Duncan?

    The desperate face of Nets general manager Bobby Marx was shown in a long close-up on the American cable TV live broadcast

    On the other hand, the management of the Grizzlies, who were the last to win the No. 4 pick, reacted calmly.

    There are media rumors that the Grizzlies are in a very chaotic situation. Their boss even wants to disband the team and withdraw from the NBA. The income after one year is not enough to pay the players, and the money for operations is purely  Flip it, this team can't be sold.

    It is said that NBA officials are ready to sponsor the Grizzlies and adjust broadcast revenue from the Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, 76ers, Magic and other big market teams with high broadcast revenue.  Part of the adjustment will be used to support new NBA teams such as the Grizzlies and Raptors so that they can survive.

    Some people are worried, but of course some people are happy. The Philadelphia 76ers won the No. 1 pick for two consecutive years, forming a super talented combination of Iverson + Duncan!

    There are still 40 days before the draft scheduled to be held on June 27. After the draft lottery results came out, commentators and experts on American cable TV stations directly began to discuss the 76ers' formation of Iverson + Duncan.  .

    This combination makes experts and retired players call them crazy!

    Iverson is definitely the best rookie in the 1996 class. Looking at the four-year draft after 1992, except for Grant Hill's rookie season and Zhang Hao's rookie season, no one can compare with this ordinary rookie.

    As Iverson enters his second year, it will be difficult for him to compare with second-year Grant Hill or Zhang Hao, but it is possible for him to become a more stable scorer and average 25 points per game.

    This ordinary No. 1 pick is definitely the most talented point guard in the past 10 years.

    Since his sophomore season, Duncan has been regarded as a top-five center in the NBA.

    After his junior season, Duncan was regarded as one of the five best players to enter the NBA.

    Now, after Duncan finished his senior season, he was directly compared to Zhang Hao

    Such a team of two super talents If Nash and Rasheed Wallace are highly favored, then the combination of Duncan and Iverson is directly regarded as the successor to the Eastern Conference king combination!

    Duncan was used to benchmark Zhang Hao. After the draft lottery was over, the American cable TV station had more than an hour of post-lottery predictions, analysis of rookie prospects, etc.

    Zhang Hao saw the prospect analysis and template predictions about DuncanDuncan's template has changed!

    In 1995, he saw the draft template given to Duncan by the media. The lower limit was David Robinson and the upper limit was beyond Olajuwon. He was speechless at the time.

    Now, the lower limit of Duncan's draft template is still David Robinson, and the upper limit has become someone like him!

    Not to mention, Zhang Hao felt quite proud when he heard the analysis of the American cable TV host and invited guests But he felt that he and Duncan were not similar

    He has watched the Duncan University game, and it is like a combination of O'Neal + Ewing + Olajuwon.

    It turned out to be Duncan's template, which was beyond his expectation.

    The 76ers are the team that has been analyzed for the longest time in the post-draft analysis. The 76ers' lineup structure has also been focused on. In summary, except for Iverson, Duncan, and Campbell, everyone else can be traded.  What a big blood change.

    The Celtics did not draw Duncan, and the TV host was also surprised. However, one of the former NBA players invited to participate in the discussion had played for the Celtics. He revealed that there is serious color discrimination in Boston, which may  It's what's preventing the Celtics from getting the No. 1 pick.

    &nbspWhen the bottom line was covering a wider area of ??defense, Malone cut in. Hornacek received the ball and passed it back to Malone who cut in. Malone caused O'Neal to foul the defense and also made the ball!

    When the timeout was called, the Jazz did not make major adjustments like the Lakers. They just made adjustments in details and continued to maintain their stability.

    This kind of stability is very scary. The Lakers tried to make an impact in the second half of the first quarter and gain an advantage. However, the opponent's steady play style and excellent execution did not allow the Lakers to make an impact!

    The Lakers had no way to keep Zhang Hao from hitting the top of the arc. Whenever Zhang Hao's thrust slowed down, O'Neal had no choice but to dig in Fortunately, the two hook shots that forced the baseline to turn around were missed.  .

    After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Jazz by 1 point 29-28 and entered the intermission break!

    Returning to the bench, feeling the pressure from his teammates, Zhang Hao¡¯s face that remained unchanged for thousands of years showed confusion and asked his teammates: ¡°Aren¡¯t we still leading?¡±

 Chapter 293 293. It¡¯s really a fight!  (Ten thousand words, please vote for me!)

    It¡¯s hard for a gentleman to say something, especially in a competition. If you speak, it means something is wrong.

    Playing away from home, we finally got a bit of a lead, and it was all thanks to one player seizing the opportunity to burst out, and the point difference was narrowed after entering a stable competitionit is inevitable that there will be pressure.

    The opponent is the Jazz, a Jazz team that has been ridiculously stable this season!

    Although the Jazz lost one game in the second round, their performance remained almost the same throughout the game. It was just that the Trail Blazers made 11 three-pointers in the third game and went wild offensively to win the game, but even if they lost  In that game, the Jazz's performance was still stable, and they remained unwavering on both offense and defense.

    Just like Stockton has averaged 10+ assists per game for 10 consecutive years and Malone has averaged 25+ points per game for 10 consecutive years, it is so stable that it feels scary!

    And the Lakers players felt this in the first game of the second round. At this time, the manic atmosphere on the scene seemed to have become a lot more terrifying.

    ¡° But from what Zhang Hao said it doesn¡¯t seem to be that big of a deal You¡¯re right!  Still leading now!

    Looking at 14 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, Zhang Hao, who was the main scorer in the first half of the first quarter and the starting point of the offense in the second half, played an outstanding single quarter, the confidence of his teammates is back.

    Silver Fox wanted to say something to calm the mood of the team members, but this damn kid can do it in 3 seconds

    But he is still a little worried - what will happen to the defense if O'Neal is replaced?  What to do if insiders are involved?

    It seems that O'Neal played poorly in the first quarter, and if the offense was not centered around him, he couldn't even get good data.

    But with O'Neal on the court, the close range is empty for Zhang Hao!  Malone shrinks, and for Zhang Hao, the mid-range is empty, and even the three-point line is empty.

    The Silver Foxes know very well that Zhang Hao can drive the entire team's offense with his strong breakout in the second half of the first quarter, relying on O'Neal's inside containment and Kenny Anderson's outside distribution of the ball.

    But when Zhang Hao, Barkley, and O'Neal play together, the defense is really disastrous. O'Neal is fine, but Barkley and Zhang Hao are old and young, the offense is impeccable, and the defense is full of flaws It's okay to play against a weak team.  The opponent is the Jazz!  This season's offensive stability ranks among the top three teams in the league.

    Just when Silver Fox was worried, Zhang Hao stepped forward and said, "Coach, maybe you can replace me, or let me play full-time as a defender."

    Sometimes, if you don¡¯t expect it, you really can¡¯t think of it.

    When I thought about it, my mind suddenly opened up!

    The Jazz don¡¯t have strong guards. Stockton and Hornacek don¡¯t have very good athletic ability. Their speed is okay, but they don¡¯t have an advantage compared to Zhang Hao

    The Silver Fox's thinking instantly broadened. Zhang Hao played power forward and O'Neal protected the rim; Barkley played power forward and O'Neal protected the rim Although neither of them was as strong as O'Neal playing power forward and Zhang Hao protecting the rim, they were not bad, and they did not have the defensive three.  Seconds, O'Neal's defense at the basket is absolutely dominant, from close range and under the basket, better than Ostertag and Campbell!  Only Mutombo, Mourning, and Olajuwon dare to say that they can protect the frame better than O'Neal.

    Wouldn¡¯t it be enough if Zhang Hao¡¯s position was not fixed in the frontcourt?  If you don't want Zhang Hao to do so many things, wouldn't it be enough to let Zhang Hao play as a pure defender when Barkley and O'Neal work together in the post?

    Thinking of this, Yinhu's mind suddenly broadened Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong!

    Silver Fox¡¯s face darkened, he raised his head and glared at Zhang Hao and said, ¡°Are you teaching me how to coach? Do your own thing! How to arrange it is my business as a coach!¡±

    "Oh." Zhang Hao responded, walked to the end of the bench and took a cup of energy drink to replenish electrolytes while thinking about the game.

    "" Why does Silver Fox feel like he's being coaxed?

    It must be an illusion!  This damn kid must have felt his majesty.

    Yes, that¡¯s right!  Absolutely!

    ¡­¡­

    Back from the break, the Jazz sent out a lineup of Howard Isley, Hornacek, Shanton Anderson, Malone, and Greg Foster.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Zhang Hao, Brian Shaw, Wilkins, Barkley, and O'Neal.

    What surprised Jazz coach Sloan was that the other team replaced Zhang Hao, Barkley, and O'Neal together!

    When they played against the SuperSonics, the Lakers didn't dare to switch to this combination easily. Was the Jazz so unrestrained against them?

    Jazz¡¯s on-court coach Jeff Hornacek directed his teammates to make adjustments before receiving the ball¡ªthe striker¡¯s opportunity came.

    But when Jeff Hornacek arrived in the frontcourt, he found that Zhang Hao was guarding him

    Originally, Howard Isley was waiting for the horse.??It's a bit annoying. Of these two people, the former's talent limit is now, and the latter seems to be a glass person. Most of his talent was destroyed by injuries before he was fully realized

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way with sharks and admirals?

    Zhang Hao thought of the brutal force with which O'Neal beat Greg Foster, and he got excited just thinking about it. Even if the general can do itit's still a bit of a loss!  When we play the Spurs in the future, we can use the General Card to activate it and reuse it. How comfortable it is.

    But compared to Jordan Card, it¡¯s not that bad

    No hesitation!  There was no time to hesitate, Zhang Hao thought, and the system prompt came.

    It¡¯s just that the system prompt is different from what he thought!  Or maybe he didn't expect such a situation to happen!

    "The host uses the David Robinson Shaquille O'Neal random star experience card (1993-1994 version). Since Shaquille O'Neal is participating in this game, a special usage method can be enabled, so David Robinson 1993-1994 can be used randomly.  Version of the star experience card, with an ability rating of 97, superstar level, and a 90-day lifespan (lifespan is halved for the first use). It can enable the special use of the Shaquille O'Neal star experience card. Do you want to enable it?"

    "" Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, "Can this thing be triggered when playing a game with teammates? Damn it! If I collected the Magician Card, the Human Movie Essence Card, and the Barkley Card I'll be damned  ¡­

    But, is this the designated O'Neal card?  "

    Take a deep breath, calm down, and use it!

    "The host uses the David Robinson Shaquille O'Neal random star experience card (1993-1994 version), turns on the special use method, uses the contracted player: Zhang Hao, and specifies the star experience card: Shaquille O'Neal 1993-1994 version, which consumes 45 lifespan  days, remaining lifespan is 1652 days, available lifespan is 1651 days matching bonus is in progress"

    "Use Bronze Lottery!"

    "The host uses the bronze lottery once to specify the props available for this game. Because the host is using the Shaquille O'Neal star experience card on the special contract player Zhang Hao, the matching degree is 45%, and the Shaquille O'Neal star experience card is opened.  How to use the steps"

    On the other side, after Silver Fox made arrangements, he was about to say a few words to Zhang Hao. His teammates also placed their hopes on Zhang Hao. Suddenly, they saw Zhang Hao stood there for a while, then ran towards the player tunnel

    This scene feels so familiar. I am going to wear a fake No, am I in need of urination?

 Chapter 294 294. Stockton¡¯s social death (please vote)

    As soon as the tactics were laid out and the game was about to start, Zhang Hao suddenly ran away!

    The fans at the scene didn't know how to react. The Silver Fox was about to call a timeout and wait for Zhang Hao to come back after all the trouble There was no way, this damn kid didn't obey discipline at all. As an excellent head coach, he could only endure it and endure the humiliation.  It is also a quality that a good head coach should have.

    Just as he was about to ask the referee for a timeout, Silver Fox saw Zhang Hao running out of the player tunnel!

    The long timeout stipulated by the NBA is 100 seconds, the official timeout is equivalent to the long timeout, and the short timeout is 20 seconds. However, in actual operation, the long timeout and the official timeout are almost 3 minutes, and the short timeout is generally about 70 seconds.

    At this time, as soon as the referee started to signal the players from both teams to come on, Zhang Hao ran out of the tunnel, so fast?

    Eh!

    No, I¡¯m not wearing a wig

    That meansthis kid sneaked away to drink again?  He remembered that Zhang Hao would always bring a bottle of wine and put it in the closet no matter whether it was home or away.

    Putting aside the messy thoughts, Silver Fox took a closer look Zhang Hao's jersey didn't fit well No, the jersey number became No. 36!

    This is O'Neal's jersey!

    Others saw Zhang Hao entering and exiting the player tunnel within one minute, and they were also curious about what Zhang Hao would do. At first, they focused on his hair, but in the end, Zhang Hao actually changed into O'Neal's jersey

    What does it mean?

    But when it comes to Zhang Hao, this kind of weird thing is really not very strange.

    This gentleman, whose exposure has been at the top of the pyramid in the past two years, has always been strange

    Returning to the bench, Zhang Hao looked at the confused eyes of his teammates and said: "My jersey accidentally tore, so I went back to the locker room to find a jersey to change into."

    "Oh" The teammates suddenly realized But, why does this jersey still feel wet?  It seems that he has been wearing it for most of the game?

    No, the most important thing is why are you wearing O'Neal's jersey?

    the other side¡­¡­

    O'Neal crossed his chest with his hands, and a No. 8 jersey was thrown next to him, pitiful and helpless.

    He was applying ice when suddenly someone ran in, pushed him down on the bench, and took off his jersey!

    After stripping him he also threw a No. 8 jersey on him.

    Forget it, the man who originally wore the No. 8 jersey put on his jersey and tucked it into his pants, lifted his belt, and left without saying anything.

    Until now, O'Neal is still confused!

    A thought came to his mind - these days, men have to protect themselves outside, it's too dangerous!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao felt the wet jersey on his body and felt disgusted, but he had to rush back to the stadium and had no time to go to the staff to ask for a clean jersey, so he could only solve the problem quickly.

    It was only when I returned to the stadium that I saw the system prompts clearly.

    Overlord Step (Bronze): Whenever the wearing player attempts to complete a dunk across the opponent, as long as he has sufficient physical strength and does not encounter a foul that prevents the wearing player from completing the take-off, the strongest explosive power will definitely burst out.  "

    When I looked at O'Neal at 125 kilograms, he had the speed of a non-speed small forward or shooting guard like Zhang. Perhaps he was already the strongest force in the league at that time. He was a running and jumping outside bouncer and was a master of physical strength  This is simply inhuman!

    No?Just being pushed around.

    But now

    Fuck him!

    After receiving the pass from Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao bumped directly into the back. Greg Foster tried to resist, but was knocked into the air His voice was still pressed on Zhang Hao's back.  His butt was stuck back after being hit, and his legs trying to get on the backboard flew up. He took a step outside the left side of the legal collision area and was knocked back directly to the center of the legal collision area!

    Greg Foster was stunned when he was hit and flew up. Before he could react, his eyesight went dark

    After Zhang Hao knocked back Greg Foster with a cruel step, he quickly grabbed the ball, turned around and took off, deflected Greg Foster's upper body defense, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

    So cruel that it explodes!

    This scene made the fans at the scene feel like they had seen the Lakers chasing points for more than three minutes before the timeout!

    Looking at the back of the man who had finished the dunk, he saw that his jersey was No. 36 If it were a little shorter, if it weren't for the hair on his head, if it wasn't for the body that had lost a lot of weight and the jersey was too big, the scene just now would really look like  It's like O'Neal hasn't left the game yet!

    Greg Foster is so confused, this is not important, the other 8 players on the field were shocked!

    What's going on?

    Anyway, the Lakers were surprised and happy, and when this emotion emerged, it was amplified, and the uneasy morale caused by O'Neal's departure soared!

    The Jazz attack, on their side, among the emotions of surprise, they are more confused.

    After Stockton and Malone picked and rolled, the ball was passed to Malone who cut in.

    The tacit understanding between the two does not require communication. Malone knew that he had to hit the ball beautifully to be able to suppress the opponent's high morale again.

    After receiving the ball, Malone directly cut to the basket. George Lynch, who came to cover, was easily knocked away and did not release the ball. Malone saw that Kenny Anderson and Jason Williams, who had not stopped him, were already moving to cover.  Brian Russell or Hornacek, Malone went straight to the basket, jumped towards Zhang Hao, trying to push Zhang Hao away for a layup

    "Snapped"

    Ma Long rushed up, but it was not that he didn't push Zhang Hao, but he didn't directly knock Zhang Hao out of the baseline as he thought. He just pushed Zhang Hao askew, but failed to avoid Zhang Hao's block!

    Malone¡¯s layup was slapped down by Zhang Hao!

    ? George Lynch happened to receive the ball and immediately passed it to Kenny Anderson.

    After Zhang Hao landed, he gritted his teeth and got up immediately, regardless of the pain in his chest.

    Kenny Anderson was the first to rush to the opponent's baseline. Brian Russell retreated quickly and blocked Kenny Anderson.

    Kenny Anderson was already high after Zhang Hao dunked and shot. When he reached the baseline, he turned around, jumped, and pushed the ball to the basketto the left!

    Just when everyone thought Kenny Anderson had missed a shot, Stockton, who was going back slower and was about to grab a rebound, felt something brush over his head, and then saw a person appear above him.  , press the "three-non-stick shot" into the basket!

    It¡¯s not a shooting error, it¡¯s an assist from an alley-oop pass!

    But no one cares about how bold this alley-oop pass is or how beautiful the tacit understanding between Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao is.

    Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene became quiet again. At this time, they could not even boo.

    The eyes of other people on the field widened even more!

    Looking at Zhang Hao, who turned to retreat expressionlessly after landing, Stockton felt that he should lie down in the coffin at this time

    Stockton¡¯s awareness of rebounding and positioning is instinctive, so just now No, until now, he still maintains the posture of lowering his center of gravity and sticking his butt out

    The Jazz players didn¡¯t know how to react, but the Lakers players were different. After being shocked for a while, the Lakers bench was boiling!

    Among the players on the field, Kenny Anderson followed Zhang Hao and ran back to the backcourt. After Zhang Hao retreated, he saw Kenny Anderson's excitement. He was also a little excited and wanted to high-five Kenny Anderson but Kenny-  Anderson passed by his world and high-fived other teammates on the court who were excited about the three-pointer.

    Just now, Zhang Hao rushed to the frontcourt and jumped directly over the head of Stockton, who was 185 centimeters tall

    An alley-oop dunk over Stockton!

    ¡­¡­

    Today I was a little busy. I didn¡¯t get home until 6 o¡¯clock. I quickly wrote a chapter of the 4k update of Quanqin Guanbao. The takeaway is almost cold, so I¡¯ll heat it up and eat some vegetables to continue writing. Please give me a monthly vote!

 Chapter 295 295. Bensha, the shark who doubts life (asking for monthly votes)

    Although Malone, who was chasing Zhang Hao, saw Zhang Hao rushing towards the left side of the three-second zone and was unable to stop him, he kept following behind, trying to block Zhang Hao when Zhang Hao bypassed Stockton.  The second offense after the "offensive rebound".

    But I didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to take off like this after running all over the field!

    This is different from Zhang Hao¡¯s usual!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s speed is very good, his jumping is also very good, and his physical strength is also very good, but his explosive power and explosive take-off are not top-notch inside, and can only be said to be good.

    The Jazz have done a lot of research on Zhang Hao, the new scoring champion, and have thoroughly studied almost every aspect. They know that Zhang Hao counterattacks fiercely, but he relies on his incredible speed to counterattack.

    If the defensive side really retreats, Zhang Hao will generally not attack the basket. His sustained explosive power after long-distance attacks is not enough.

    That is to say, Malone's defensive judgment just now was completely correct, so he did not commit a direct tactical foul when he retreated to the midline and could not keep up with Zhang Hao.

    But Zhang Hao really rushed from one side to the other side at a close distance, still jumped up with his feet almost one meter off the ground, spread his legs and jumped over Stockton's head

    When Zhang Hao dunked and then turned around and walked past Malone, Malone didn't know how to react.

    Stockton, on the other hand, came to his senses, picked up the ball and passed it to Malone. Malone then reacted and passed the ball back to Stockton who ran into the court.

    The fans at the scene burst into cheers and applause!

    have a look!  This is the calm mentality of a veteran!  When something like this happens, there is no chaos!

    Stockton is feeling miserable, what else can he do?

    At this time, we can only pretend that nothing happened.

    When he pushed forward, he saw the opponent's players getting more excited and excited. Stockton tried hard not to think about what he had just seen.

    However, after arriving in the frontcourt and picking and rolling with Malone, I saw that Doug Christie and Jason Williams were a little slow in switching defenses. The opportunity came. Stockton quickly shot the three-pointer after the pick-and-roll

    This is an opportunity, his opportunity, but he still inevitably gets excited when he takes the shot. He wants to be more decisive when he takes the shot, and wants to save face with this three-pointer The direction of the shot is very accurate, but the force is too strong.  , hit the neck of the basket and popped out!

    Zhang Hao collected the defensive rebound. The Jazz team did a good job of retreating instead of being blocked this time. Zhang Hao collected the rebound and passed it to Kenny Anderson. The opponent, including Stockton who was annoyed after the iron, retreated.  The defensive formations were well done.

    There was no rush, Kenny Anderson pushed forward steadily, but the excitement of the Lakers players could be seen.

    Now is your chance!

    The current score is 79 to 78. The Lakers relied on Zhang Hao's two consecutive dunks and a block to lead the score by 1 point. The Jazz failed to score this offense and they have a chance to regain their advantage!

    Zhang Hao is now even more eager to score goals!

    He can't be divided into two, and he can't play the role of himself and O'Neal. At this stage, when both evils are present, what he wants is actually very simple, to firmly hold the score with the opponent and open up the gap.  He didn't expect too much from such a thing, he still knew it well.

    But when the opportunity comes, you must seize it!

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, waited for Zhang Hao to continue to drop low to jam Greg Foster, and then hoisted the ball in.

    Zhang Hao felt that he had already arrived. When he caught the ball, he jumped up to catch the ball. After landing, he bent his knees and jumped back directly. Greg Foster was more fully prepared this time. Zhang Hao still passed Greg Fu in one step.  Sturt retreated to the reasonable collision zone!

    However, when Zhang Hao grabbed the ball and turned around, Malone had already shrunk and pushed in. Jason Williams also cut in from the right after Malone let go of him, but Zhang Hao ignored him. He was also high and turned around.  Taking off against Greg Foster and Malone

    "The Overlord Step (Bronze) is triggered. The wearing player Zhang Hao did not encounter any confrontation that would prevent him from taking off when he tried to dunk this time. He did not encounter any foul that would prevent him from taking off. He will ignore the confrontation and take off with all his strength"

    If the one under the basket is Malone, and the one flanking Greg Foster is 20 kilograms short, and his strength is slightly compromised, Zhang Hao will not be able to jump.

    But Greg Foster stepped up and Malone retracted to interfere. Although both of them fought, their strength was not enough to prevent Zhang Hao from taking off!

    Zhang Hao suddenly jumped up, and the speed of the baby shark version was extremely amazing. As soon as Malone faced a challenge from the double attack, Zhang Hao jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket through the two of them!

    Astonishingly domineering!

    With this dunkThe combination of James and Zhang Hao.

    The TV commentator once again mentioned the nickname from the beginning of the season-the Big Three of the Los Angeles Nets.

    The Jazz sent a combination of Stockton, Hornacek, Brian Russell, Adam Kiefe, and Malone, placing Malone at the center position.

    Sloan did not replace Ostertag in advance. This is their home court. Although their staff could not go in and eavesdrop when the opponent adjusted their tactics during the halftime break, the opponent's players were all on the court and they went to clean up.  It¡¯s reasonable to think about hygiene, right?

    Although I don¡¯t know the details, O¡¯Neal seems to be fine. He has rested in the final quarter and the pain has eased, and he will most likely come back.

    Sloan made adjustments very carefully, trying to use pause + adjustment to interrupt the opponent's already high morale and regain the advantage.

    Their lineup should have an advantage.

    The number of customers, if, without necessarily having a clear advantage, the opponent can stop the momentum by calling a timeout and making adjustments, then there will not be so many climaxes, just call a timeout, arrange it, and make adjustments.

    Adjustment is just an adjustment after all, and the other party will also adjust!

    Now that the morale is high, the concentration is close to perfect, and the reaction sensitivity is close to perfect, the Lakers players took advantage of Zhang Hao's threat after returning from the timeout. Malone received the basket and went down, which made it much easier for Kenny Anderson!

    Zhang Hao's squatting under the basket and grasping the opportunity to open up are very good. This is what he is good at. Jason Williams eats cakes and rushes, Doug Christie's main sideline catching and shooting in the past two years, George Lynch  Cuttings and off-ball pick-and-rolls on the wings The Lakers' morale is high, the whole team is playing excitedly and hard, and the offense continues!

    The key is that the Jazz's own emotions have been affected, their mentality has fluctuated, and their offensive stability has been affected to a certain extent. Moreover, this impact is increasing as time goes by!

    Zhang Hao's frame-protecting effect has also been significantly improved. Before, he couldn't judge the timing of the move, but now he can grasp it!

    In the past, he protected the frame based on the movement of the ball and the movement of the players cutting in. Now, he has more seemingly useless movements, but it plays a stronger role in defense!

    The temporary muscle memory of the star experience card, the temporary keen sense of smell, the temporary experience In fact, under certain circumstances, Zhang Hao can judge or discover more opportunities, whether offensive opportunities or defensive opportunities.

    By 11 minutes and 44 seconds of the third quarter, the Lakers were already 91 to 84, opening the point difference to 7 points, and Malone's two-point catch just now was not made when Jason Williams switched defense!

    In the last attack of the third quarter, Kenny Anderson wasted time. He was so excited that he launched an attack with 6 seconds left. He crossed the step and changed direction to break through and hit a three-pointer with a step back!

    94 to 84, after three quarters, the Lakers regained a 10-point lead!

    O'Neal was fouled and now needs ice to relieve the pain caused by bruises and minor strains. Barkley was sent out, causing the Lakers to lead by up to 12 points and be overtaken.

    But when O'Neal and Barkley were not on the court, relying on Zhang Hao's 14 points in a single quarter, and most importantly Zhang Hao's crazy dunks in three consecutive rounds, the Lakers led 20-8 in the second half of the third quarter.  The climax, from being behind by 2 points before the official timeout, to leading by 10 points!

    When it came to the inter-section break, O'Neal did physical therapy, re-exercised his body, asked the team staff for a clean jersey and put it on before returning to the court. He didn't want to miss the tactical arrangement of the last inter-section break. He felt that his  The task is heavy and I feel like I have to save the world

    Then I saw the scoreboard showing that my team was leading by 10 points, 94 to 84.

    For a moment, O'Neal felt that he was dazzled. He was the one who scored 10 points in the second half of the third quarter, and if he could score 10 points, it looked very good. It was normal for the opponent to score 20 points. He should  I just hit my head so hard that I almost fainted. I must have lost my mind

    However, after shaking his head, he looked again and saw that he was still 10 points ahead!

    In other words, when he was here, he tried his best to only play a half-match with the Jazz. He played half a quarter to rest, and the team overtook the score and even widened the point difference!

    This is really true, it¡¯s not scary for the team to lead

 Chapter 296 296. The talent that rides on your face!

    The ideal state for the Lakers is for Zhang Hao, Barkley, and O'Neal to play in twos and twos to ensure a sustained and powerful frontcourt offense.

    When Zhang Hao + O'Neal were playing, they were the most fierce, but they focused on defense, trying to elevate the confrontation to the extreme.

    When Zhang Hao + Barkley are playing together, they will improve the contraction of defense after confrontation. Of course, they can also attack in random battles. This combination is more flexible and changeable.

    Before O'Neal was injured in the first half, the Lakers were following their ideal state, but they encountered a violent conflict. O'Neal and Barkley once left the court together, and the Lakers collapsed.

    In the third quarter, the Lakers regained their strength. When O'Neal was there, they strengthened their confrontation and fought hard. When O'Neal was resting, Zhang Hao took advantage in the paint alone, and the entire Lakers team also regained its advantage!

    Back to the ideal state again!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the players from the two teams came back on the court after the intersection break, the TV commentator said that the Lakers would be fined

    The rules do not stipulate that players must wear their own registered jerseys. Jordan's jersey was stolen one year, so he could only wear other people's jerseys. The temporary numbers were all erased in the confrontation. In the future of the original time and space, O'Neal also  Because he was dissatisfied with the league's ban on Kobe Bryant and wore the No. 8 jersey to play games, the final result would definitely be a fine.

    It¡¯s just that the Lakers are like this. When two No. 36s play together, the scene is still very spectacular, especially after Zhang Hao played such a brutal half of the game in the third quarter.

    When both Barkley and O'Neal were away, Zhang Hao led the team to take the lead. When O'Neal returned in the final quarter, the situation became very simple.

    After O¡¯Neal comes back, his first goal is not to score, but to consume Ostertag!

    After the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers launched tactics around O'Neal. Regardless of offensive efficiency, they just wanted to fight Ostertag more and consume Ostertag.

    It went quite smoothly. Zhang Hao did a good job in controlling the mid-range and cutting in. Ma Long did not dare to shrink directly easily.

    Although Zhang Hao himself knows that his current shooting has been affected to a certain extent, he must be more patient and have more time to adjust to ensure shooting efficiency than before, but others do not know!

    Mainly due to Zhang Hao's ferocious attack in the second half of the third quarter, Ostertag could only fight against O'Neal in the basket. To be honest, one defense and one defense, Ostertag defended O'Neal who is now over 130 kilograms.  It was really good, but without the help of Malone, Ostertag was even more tired in defense.

    Tonight's fourth quarter is probably the most glorious moment of Ostertag's career - the opponent uses a third-team center and is recognized as the number one center in the future to consume him!

    Olajuwon, Ewing, David Robinson, and Mourning have never enjoyed this kind of treatment!

    The games between the championship teams are very interesting. Even in the game between the Knicks and the Heat, you can see a very interesting situation.

    Even if a conflict occurs, the conflict will become more and more intense. However, if there is a criminal or a fight, players on both sides will highly restrain their emotions after the game and will simply take advantage of the confrontation.

    The same is true for the Lakers and Jazz. They don¡¯t want the internal friction between the two teams to cause the Eastern Conference team to take advantage in the end.

    After playing for less than half a quarter, Ostertag gradually couldn't keep up with O'Neal's flexible footsteps. The Lakers' inside advantage began to show up. The Jazz slowly narrowed the point difference in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, but before the official timeout,  In more than two minutes, the Lakers re-extended their lead to 11 points!

    This time it¡¯s just a matter of pure strength!

    After the official timeout came back, the Jazz went on an 11-4 run and once narrowed the point difference to 4 points. However, O'Neal then made a layup from the free throw line and caused Greg O'Neal to hit a layup.  Tertag fouled, took extra penalties, and scored slowly, opening the point difference to 7 points again.

    At this time, Ostertag was very tired. Sloan did not dare to replace him. Ostertag's frame-protecting effect was greatly reduced. In fact, O'Neal was also very tired after playing like this. However, the Lakers still have  Zhang Hao!

    They were beaten 11 to 4 at 3 minutes and 11 seconds. The Lakers' offense stalled for a while, but after adjusting their play style, Zhang Hao started to attack in the last 2 minutes or so!

    In the last 2 minutes and 33 seconds, Zhang Hao scored 8 points and defeated the Jazz 8-2!

    With this hard work, the Jazz are out of options!

    In fact, in the fourth quarter, even if O'Neal and Zhang Hao were on the court at the same time and played the entire quarter, the Jazz did not fall too far behind. They lost by 12 points in the second half of the third quarter. The main reason was that the Jazz simply did not  Thinking that Zhang Hao could be so fierce, I was stunned.

    The Jazz still showed their super stability in the fourth quarter and played very steadily overall.

    &nb, his style of play seriously lacks the ability to solve problems at critical moments.

    The most discussed thing about this game is Zhang Hao's talent and the characteristics he played tonight - the performance that a superstar who can turn the situation around and raise the team's upper limit should perform in the team's strong season!

    If the Lakers want to win the championship, they must have Zhang Hao perform like this when the team needs it.

    This game is when he is needed.

    He did it!

    The Nets once again encountered "violence of public opinion." According to sources, the Nets first failed to compete for Duncan and then Iverson last year. After failing to compete for Duncan again this year, they are still preparing to continue to mess up. The next goal is this season.  Michael Olowokandi, the second center in the NCAA and evaluated by the media as the "successor of the big dream".

    After the game between the Lakers and Jazz, Zhang Hao mainly answered two questions in his post-game interview.

    One is his evaluation of the Nets' preparations to compete for the top rookies in the NCAA for the third consecutive year. Zhang Hao replied: "They have already found a shortcut, but they are not willing to take shortcuts. They don't want to live an easy and happy life. They just want to win."  To take the challenge and take the hardest path, I appreciate them.¡±

    The other one was about changing O'Neal's jersey. Zhang Hao's answer was evaluated as "rarely shy."

    "I actually just wanted to change my jersey at the time. I felt that I could play better that way. It had nothing to do with Mr. O'Neal."

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "To be honest, no one believes me, and you still say that I am rare to be shy? Damn! Do I usually look very cheeky? Even if you say that I am shy, is it still rare?"

    The morning after the game against the Jazz, Zhang Hao was eating breakfast, watching the news, and kept complaining.

    Apart from this, there are more news that praise him.

    When watching these news, Zhang Hao felt a strong sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu - surpassing Jordan with one championship, defeating Magic with two championships, and being unbeatable in history with three championships.

    The playoffs are really different from the regular season. No matter how good you play in the regular season, it will not be as impressive as going further in the playoffs.

    And if you play well in the regular season and don't make it far in the playoffs, you will receive more negative comments.

    This time, he reached the Western Conference Finals and has met the basic requirements of the media and fans for a superstar. Moreover, he played well and received good reviews.

    It¡¯s just that Zhang Hao knows very well that such evaluations are temporary. Magic won FMVP in his rookie season. He will still have to fight game by game in every subsequent season.

    Career honors are accumulated, but when it comes to a new season, for that season alone, the honors obtained before will have no effect at all.

    On the contrary, if the player gets old and his strength declines, his previous honors will make him a target in the eyes of young superstars who want to make a name for themselves by beating him.

    ??Also, when you are doing well, you will always be touted as a super Jordan, a super Magician, or a super bird, but when your performance is not good, there will definitely be an endless stream of scoldings.

    In this regard, Zhang Hao quickly calmed down after getting excited. The reason for calming down was that he saw the league's penalty decision again - Barkley was still suspended.

    There was no way to appeal, but Barkley really took action. He was only suspended for one game, which is already very rare.

    Winning the first game was difficult and expensive, but the good thing is winning.

    In the next second game, Zhang Hao felt it was very difficult!

    In the evening, the Eastern Conference Finals also kicked off.

    Before the start of the Bulls¡¯ home series against the Heat, Jordan was asked about Zhang Hao¡¯s fourth 40-plus game in the playoffs this season. Jordan gave a rare comment¡ª¡ª

    "I have said before that he is a genius. Now do you feel what genius is?

    I am very optimistic about Akers, I think the Lakers can win in the Western Conference Finals, and I will wait for them in the Finals.  "

    Today, the Lakers did not arrange much training and only conducted very simple lightweight defensive movement training.

    In the evening, after Zhang Hao had dinner, he was waiting to watch the live broadcast of the Bulls and Heat game. When he saw the video of Jordan¡¯s interview before warm-up, he felt like his whole body was about to burst!

    "Boss Qiao, don't shoot! I'm one of you, look how bright this light is No, look how similar our back shots are!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 297 297. Theories are always unreliable

    Zhang Hao¡¯s shouting from afar had no effect. At 7 o¡¯clock in the evening, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bulls and the Heat began.

    The difference between the Eastern and Western playoffs is really a bit big

    In the game between the Lakers and Jazz, the Jazz scored 111 points and the Lakers scored 118 points. Of course, to break 110 points, the Jazz relied on Hornacek to seize the opportunity and exploded with 36 points. The Lakers  Relying on Zhang Hao's 45 points, but under normal circumstances, the two teams should score around 100 points.

    But the Bulls and the Heat were tied at 51 to 53 after three quartersit was simply jaw-dropping.

    Jordan, Pippen, Ron Harper, and Earvin Robertson may be the most defensive defensive rotation in history. Rodman and Longley are included on the inside. Although Rodman was not selected for the best this year,  Defensive lineup, but purely because of missing more than 30 games in the regular season, just like Mourning and O'Neal who performed better but could not compete with Olajuwon, but Rodman was too promiscuous after winning the championship and often missed due to personal reasons  Contest¡­¡­

    In terms of playoff performance, at the forward position, Rodman's defense is the strongest.

    With four top defensive players on the outside, Longley on the inside to carry the basket, and no defense for three seconds, the Bulls also exploded when they started defending!

    In the final quarter, the Bulls' time was up. Jordan scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the Bulls score 24 points in the final quarter, and defended the Heat to only 15 points in the final quarter. Jordan alone withstood the Heat's entire team's offense.  !

    After a 24-15 score in the final quarter, the Bulls reversed the Heat 75-68 and won their first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals!

    ¡­¡­

    The Heat were completely defeated by Jordan alone!

    Only two players from the Bulls scored in double figures, Jordan scored 31 points, and the otherRodman scored 14 points.

    It¡¯s so beautiful!

    When Zhang Hao was watching this game, he saw the result of a tactical drill conducted by the Bulls that year - when the rest of the Bulls were unable to score, there was a slight possibility that the opportunity would come to Rodman.

    Zhang Hao had forgotten all about this before, but now he realized how well prepared the Zen master was in these details!

    The King of the Ring in the coaching world is really not given for free!  It looks like he is hugging the thighs of Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe, but his work is very delicate.

    No, this tactic, which seems to be something you can¡¯t necessarily count on once in 100 games, was used by Zen Master in this game.

    Health is the strongest point of this year's Bulls, and it is also the reason why their overall performance is evaluated to be stronger and more stable than last season.

    The Lakers, after a day¡¯s rest, came to the Salt Lake City Energy Solutions Arena again. On the night of May 24, amidst the crazy noise of the Devils¡¯ away fans, the Lakers entered the court and continued to challenge the Jazz.

    The completely different playing styles between the East and the West play a complementary role. After watching the fierce game between the Bulls and the Heat yesterday, fans will definitely watch the Lakers and Jazz game with better offense today. They are enthusiastic.  Big rise.

    The game started at 7:30 pm.

    Barkley cannot enter the stadium tonight and can only stay in the locker room.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Lakers are much more affected than the Jazz by the lack of the first substitute inside, the Jazz are missing a real substitute, and the Lakers are missing the second strongest player.

    The Jazz, who lost the last game and were ridden by talent, still played steadily tonight. The Lakers launched a fierce attack in the first quarter and tried to continue their efforts, but failed. 19 to 24, the Lakers fell behind by 5 points in a single quarter.

    The first 8 minutes were fine, but after O'Neal went to rest, the gap became apparent.

    Without Battier, even though Brian Shaw and Magic were in the rotation, they still felt powerless.

    Zhang Hao did not use O'Neil Card again. There were less than 18 minutes left in the last game. As long as the changes are made, the chance of winning is very high. Moreover, it can be seen that the most obvious effect of O'Neil Card is in the third game.  In the second half of the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, he actually had no advantage when playing with O'Neal. It can only be said that they were evenly matched. In regular time, his faster shots and more stable shots were more effective than the strong shot.

    In the second quarter, the Lakers continued to fall behind. At the end of halftime, they trailed the Jazz by 9 points, 40 to 49, and struggled to keep the point difference to double digits.

    In the third quarter, O'Neal, who had rested for a whole quarter in the first half, brought Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson to work together and once narrowed the point difference to 1 point. However, the Jazz called a timeout to adjust effectively this time.  A 12-2 run took place in the last three minutes of the third quarter After the third quarter, the Lakers' score increased to 64 points, but the deficit was widened to 11 points!  64 to 75 entering the final quarter.

    Played 1 and 34 games,??Great teamwork!

    The Bulls lead 2-0 at home!

    May 26th is the NBA's all-off day, and the Eastern and Western Conference finals have entered a two-day rest period, with one day overlapping in the middle.

    On May 27th, after two days of careful preparation back at home, at 7:30 pm, the Lakers ushered in Game 3 of the series against the Jazz at home.

    The Lakers are preparing to win both home games and win the match point in one fell swoop.

    Although the Lakers lost their second away game, they had already won their first away game, and the media were unanimously optimistic about the Lakers. Zhang Hao scored 45 points in the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

    However, the Lakers, who played at home and had a more complete lineup, suffered a painful defeat - 92 to 104. The Lakers lost at home, and the home court advantage they finally gained was taken back by the Jazz!

    On May 28, the Bulls defeated the Heat 84-83 in an away game, relying on Jordan's buzzer-beating mid-range shot to defeat the Heat by 1 point, making the score 3-0. The Bulls' team + Jordan's personal performance crushed them  The Lakers could only watch as they won the match point in a fashion, and the scenery was endless

    Finally, on May 29, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 105-96 at home, tying the score at 2-2 and ending their losing streak in the playoffs. However, the home court advantage was still taken back by the Jazz!

    The Bulls are expected to advance 3-0. Pat Riley will be eliminated for the fourth consecutive time when facing Jordan in the playoffs. His desperate expression when he was defeated by Jordan was widely praised by major players after the game.  The media rushed to report it.

    The Lakers are still going to fight the Battle of Tianwang Mountain!  And, it¡¯s on the road!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After two days of rest, the Lakers continued to prepare intensively.

    Only this time, the pressure is much greater than before the start of the Western Conference Finals!

    Before, there were three chances to lose. Now, if we lose the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the pressure will be gone. If we fall behind 2 to 3, we will be eliminated if we lose one more game.

    When the team often needs Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao often puts the pressure on himself. In fact, not many teammates will take the initiative to put the pressure on Zhang Hao. It just becomes a habit over time.

    On the afternoon of May 30th, the Lakers came to Salt Lake City again. They will prepare for a day tomorrow. The first day of next month, June 1st, will be the day of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

    From the team meeting at the training facility in the morning to the arrival in Salt Lake City, Zhang Hao didn't say much, looking like he was deep in thought. After arriving at the hotel in Salt Lake City, the Magic team invited Zhang Hao to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

    After ordering the food, Magic turned on the chicken soup mode: "You don't have to be so stressed, you have already done a good job. Without your performance in the first game, we might have fallen behind 0 to 3, and we might have been beaten by now.  It was a sweep, even if we won the last game, it was only 1-3, and now it¡¯s 2-2, we still have a chance.¡±

    Zhang Hao said "hmm" after hearing this. After hearing Zhang Hao's response, the Magician felt that the problem should not be big. There should be no problem with the second-year superstar of his team. He just has a strong sense of responsibility and always likes to take things deeper.  think.

    "Look at O'Neal, he is heartless. After winning last night, he yelled that he would never lose again. That is the emotion that young people should have.

    Zhang Hao also understands that, as the magician said, they are currently 2-2 and still have a chance, but the 2-2 draw itself is very stressful!

    He really wants to win the game!

    In last year's playoffs, he thought that if he could win the second round, he would be very satisfied. It would not matter if he was eliminated in the Western Conference Finals. But after passing the second round, he found that what he longed for and his ambitions were more than he imagined.  Even bigger!

    He is falling in love with the world of basketball more and more. He wants to create his own history in the world of basketball. If he really has an opportunity this year, he doesn't want to miss it.

    Having seen so many examples of superstars struggling to win a championship in their prime, and ultimately holding on to the opportunity may not necessarily lead to success, he does not want to miss every opportunity. Every time an opportunity comes, he wants to do his best to seize it.  live!

    However, seeing the magician¡¯s smile, Zhang Hao¡¯s mood really calmed down.

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 298 298. Sir Big Thigh!

    After dinner, Zhang Hao went to the bar on the second floor of the hotel. Tomorrow is the training day and the game is the day after tomorrow. Barkley and O'Neal held a party together tonight, and the Silver Fox did not veto their proposal.

    ¡°Looking at Silver Fox, the old and unreliable head coach, dancing ballroom with the girl called by Barkley, watching his teammates drinking and playing cards

    In the past, Zhang Hao rarely came to such places, but now the pressure to survive is not so great. When he encounters troubles, the team happens to have a team party, so he comes to have a look.

    The waiter was very law-abiding. He asked for a glass of beer. The waiter followed O'Neal's instructions and gave him a glass of milk. The word "beer" was stuck on the quilt, which made him itchy with anger.

    But at this time, Zhang Hao discovered a lot of things that he had ignored before - emotions need to be adjusted, not that they have to hold themselves tight.

    During the meeting in Los Angeles in the morning, the atmosphere was actually very heavy. Everyone was listening carefully to the coaching staff's analysis and discussing how to play. Now, they should be relaxing.

    Looking at Barkley, a 34-year-old veteran who gave up a big contract to play as a substitute and compete for a championship with a low salary, he did not frown because he lost the home court advantage that he had finally won. He was serious when he should be serious.  Rest when it's time to relax

    Zhang Hao¡¯s mood really eased a lot.

    There will definitely be pressure, and there is nothing wrong with being obsessed with the basketball you love.

    But maybe being like Barkley or O¡¯Neal is life!

    Zhang Hao certainly doesn¡¯t want to live like Barkley and O¡¯Neal, but he found that his own thoughts were a little too depressing and should be adjusted appropriately

    This time, Zhang Hao slowly and subtly changed from not caring about any sound to gradually liking hearing the cheers and enjoying the love of the fans. Now he is even more fanatical about becoming a real big star in the basketball world  His mentality and attitude towards life are also changing little by little

    ¡­¡­

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Yesterday was boring. He was actually thinking based on what he saw in the game review early yesterday morning, and he was also thinking based on the speeches of the coaching staff and teammates in the team meeting.

    The coaching staff is indeed very professional. Just like in the second round, there are indeed many problems that cannot be solved. Similarly, they found that the Jazz also have many problems that cannot be solved, and the Silver Foxes have been trying to find ways to solve the problems that can be solved and seize the opportunities that can be solved.  Seize the opportunities, target the points that can be exploited, and lead the team forward in these aspects.

    Now that his thinking was completely clear, Zhang Hao found that the team's strategy was definitely correct!

    They lost in the third game because they did not seize as many opportunities as the Jazz and did not exploit the opportunities as steadily as the Jazz. But in the fourth game, they did better than the Jazz.

    At the moment, there¡¯s really only so much that can be done.

    Now, he is very lucky to have spent 75 points in the first game and won the first away game. Otherwise, it is really possible that the Jazz will beat the Jazz 3-0 directly, just like No. 8 + O'Neal in the original time and space.  Just as tragic, that Lakers team was almost equivalent to trading Divac for another No. 8, signing O'Neal without any other powerful stars such as Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Ceballos, and Campbell.  Less, but still badly beaten by the Jazz.

    But what should we do now?

    ¡°My own strength has been brought to its fullest, and my cooperation with my teammates has been as good as possible.

    Using a star experience card is one way, but it depends on the timing. It doesn¡¯t mean just using one randomly. You have to choose the most appropriate star experience card according to the situation at that time. Otherwise, there may be situations where it is better not to use it

    If you can¡¯t think of a solution, just be more open-minded and fight hard!

    "If we can find a way to be useful, then Pat Riley will not be beaten by Jordan and have his Jordan jersey retired by his own team"

    ¡­¡­

    On the night of the 30th, while trailing 0-3, the Heat fought tooth and nail to win a 90-77 victory, delaying the end of the Eastern Conference Finals for a while.

    On June 1st, after two days of rest, the Lakers once again came to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away from home.

    The situation was very different from what Zhang Hao expected.

    He thought that this game would be difficult to play Of course, it would not be easy after the fight. The Jazz played very bravely.

    It¡¯s just that Barkley and Wilkins, Magic, Byron Scott, and Jerome Kersey are the fiveDon't be discouraged, they don't have a chance.

    He knows very well that now it¡¯s about seeing which side performs better.

    It¡¯s just that relatively speaking, the Lakers have more stars to support them. As long as someone can break through the defense and stand up and play beyond the normal level, it will be easier to win.

    In the first 5 games, in games 1 and 4, the player the Lakers stepped up was the second-year young superstar. In game 5, Barkley led the veteran group.

    Stockton is very aware of his team's advantage - stability. In comparison, he feels that their advantage is greater. The Lakers' performance is always unstable.

    Although behind 2-3, Stockton believes they can make a comeback!  Just like Game 3, tonight, he wants to take back the home field advantage!

    In front of the technical stage, when Zhang Hao was applying magnesium powder, Ma Long came up to him and said: "Don't think you will be so lucky today, you will definitely be beaten by me tonight! We will win in the end, boy."

    "I know you want to do this, but you have no experience in the finals. You will lose if you enter the finals."

    ""

    If someone else said this, Ma Long really wouldn't think it was a big deal, because someone else would definitely be talking trash.

    ¡°However, this is not the feeling when it comes out of Zhang Hao¡¯s mouth.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s tone sounded like he was stating the facts!

    Do you want to win their jazz for such a lot of effort or for them?

    Ma Long decided not to talk trash to Zhang Hao. He would not be so angry if Zhang Hao said unpleasant words or even cursed.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s ¡°that¡¯s the truth¡± tone is so irritating.

    By 7:30 pm, the starting lineups of both teams were already on the field and ready to play.

    The Jazz cannot give up, and the Lakers dare not be careless.

    The referee blew the whistle to start the game. Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, O'Neal easily defeated Ostertag to win the jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first!

    Kenny Anderson received the ball and quickly released it. O'Neal received the ball one step outside the free throw line. Zhang Hao rushed to the baseline without the ball. Stockton pretended to move one step inside the top arc to flank O'Neal. In fact, it was  After cutting off Zhang Hao's receiving line, George Lynch's cut from the right was blocked by Brian Russell.

    O'Neal did not rush to release the ball, nor did he play around with the big man dribbling the ball in a different direction. When Kenny Anderson was close to the left side of the top arc, he threw the ball from behind his head. Kenny Anderson caught the ball.  Hornacek made up for it. Kenny Anderson kept the ball in his hands and passed it to the left after receiving the ball.

    Slowly following up, Doug Christie caught the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left and shot a three-pointer

    Hit!

    The Lakers' opening fast break has changed again. Almost every game of the 5 games has a different opening fast break. The Jazz can't do anything about it. They blocked the four players with the highest scoring probability in the Lakers' opening fast break.  The only gap left is Doug Christie.

    The opening fast break is a symbol of the Lakers. The changes in the opening fast break are becoming more and more abundant. From the Jazz's perspective, this is a reflection of the Lakers playing better and better and their cooperation becoming more proficient.

    When it comes to the Jazz's offense, unlike the Lakers, who are always full of energy, the Jazz's offense is always so calm.

    Malone attracted a double attack, and the Lakers freed up Brian Russell to defend Hornacek. Malone received the second pass, and Brian Russell moved to the baseline to catch the ball before O'Neal's defense was in place.  The mid-range shot hit!

    Both teams felt very good at the beginning!

    Seizing the early opportunities is what both teams are trying to do as the series deepens.

    In Game 3, the Jazz won on the road because of a good start. The Jazz had a 7-point lead in the first quarter. In Game 4, the Lakers led by 4 points in the first quarter and had a 9-point lead at halftime.

    In the last game, the Jazz actually took the lead in the first quarter, but was chased back by Buckley's team during the rotation phase.

    But no matter what, both teams want to seize the early lead!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 299 299. Today is the weekend (4 updates with 18,000 words, please vote for me!)

    Just like the Jazz can feel the Lakers' progress from the opening fast break, the Lakers are really making progress!

    In fact, in the first 5 games of the series, except for Game 4, the Lakers had an advantage at the beginning. In the other 4 games, the Jazz had the upper hand at the beginning, including Game 1 of the series won by the Lakers.

    But after 5 games, although the Lakers did not take the initiative at the beginning of tonight, they played very well when the Jazz started to be eliminated if they lost, and the Lakers did not fall behind at the beginning!

    O¡¯Neal made a fast break dunk, Zhang Hao made a top-curve three-pointer after a pick-and-roll, George Lynch made a cut that attracted the defense and was able to score the ball, and Kenny Anderson made a long two-pointer after receiving the ball.

    In the opening stage, at 6 minutes and 7 seconds, the Lakers scored 10 points, and the Jazz only scored 10 points!

    As the series progresses, the scoring efficiency of both teams declines as they learn more about each other and defend better.

    The Lakers' starting lineup is their best defensive lineup, and their defense is getting better and better. This lineup is obviously reflected.

    10 to 10 at half quarter, the Jazz called a timeout and entered the official timeout stage.

    The Lakers are not falling behind, and neither are the Jazz.

    It¡¯s just that Sloan couldn¡¯t be as calm as the Lakers, because in the crucial Game 5, Barkley led the Lakers to win the game.

    The Lakers can play calmly now and have the capital to play in the tiebreaker, but the Jazz do not.

    ¡­¡­

    After adjustments, the two teams entered the rotation phase.

    The Silver Foxes sent a combination of Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Barkley and O'Neal.

    Sloan did not make any substitutions and continued to play with the starting lineup.

    As Sloan expected, when the Lakers entered a long timeout, they would replace Barkley, and the ultimate three frontcourt combination of Zhang Hao, O'Neal, and Barkley would come online!

    This is very difficult for the Jazz, but it is an opportunity!

    Zhang Hao went to defend the back line. On the defensive end, he resolutely acted as an ordinary back line defender and ignored other things. When encountering a pick-and-roll without the ball on the outside, he simply switched defenses.

    This change on the defensive end has solved to the greatest extent the problem of insufficient assist defense and supplementary defense capabilities when Barkley and Zhang Hao partnered on the front line. Doug Christie had no problem defending in series at the small forward position.

    But no matter how to avoid the problem, the Lakers' current defense is not as effective as Zhang Hao playing center and O'Neal playing power forward.

    This is the opportunity for the Jazz.

    In the second half of the first quarter, Sloan tried his best to let Ostertag play the entire first quarter, which worked!

    In the second half of the first quarter, although the Lakers scored 13 points, the Jazz took advantage of the Lakers' internal defense to weaken and scored 17 points in the half!

    After the first quarter, the Jazz led 27 to 23 by 4 points entering the second quarter.

    But they didn¡¯t have to wait long for the Jazz to be happy. This time, it was Kenny Anderson¡¯s turn to stand up.

    At the beginning of the second quarter, Sloan replaced Stockton and Ostertag and sent out a combination of Howard Isley, Hornacek, Shanton Anderson, Anthony Carter, and Malone.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Wilkins, Barkley, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao.

    Barkley got angry when he saw Anthony Carter Although he hit the opponent, he was suspended. He believed that they still need to play Game 6 now because he was suspended.

    Anthony Carter was really scared. He was vicious in the first game and was almost beaten to death

    When being singled out by Barkley, he screamed for teammates to double-team him. This happened to Anthony Carter.

    This kind of panic situation can easily affect his teammates. Shanton Anderson, who was very good at switching defenses, really shrank in. Kenny Anderson used Wilkins' pick-and-roll to hit a three-pointer!

    When the Jazz attacked, Malone hit a mid-range turnaround jumper, 29 to 26. The Jazz still led by 3 points, but looking back, Kenny Anderson passed the baseline, and Barkley caught the ball and beat Anthony with a leap -  Carter scored the ball and caused a foul on Anthony Carter. The goal was valid and he received an extra penalty!

    The more ferocious and dirty people are, in fact, they tend to give in faster when they encounter real difficulties!

    Anthony Carter is a bad guy on the bench of the Jazz. He actually has the most flagrant fouls on the Jazz, much more than Malone. Malone has such a dark history at his age and status. Now he raises his elbow and is cowardly.  People immediately retreated.

    ? 28 to 29, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 1 point. When Barkley went to the free throw line, Sloan had no choice but to use Greg Ford.It worked, hey, Malone's rare two free throws were iron-clad!

    The good thing is not only this. When Ma Long hit the iron and Zhang Hao got the rebound, the system prompt came.

    In the third quarter, the jersey. When he played at the last moment, his physical strength was almost the same as that of the third quarter. Of course, he was better than others, but it was by no means the best state.

    But now, that feeling of burning in the chest is gone

    It¡¯s time to kill!

    Back from the timeout, the Lakers play in the frontcourt.

    The strongest offensive combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Barkley and O'Neal is on the court.

    The Jazz are still in the starting lineup, fighting to the bitter end.

    Kenny Anderson received Barkley¡¯s serve and was close to the center circle, following Zhang Hao¡¯s instructions to consume time.

    Zhang Hao leaned against Malone on the left side of the free throw line. When there were 6 seconds left in the attack time, he turned to Malone who was waiting for him and said: "Mr. Malone, do you believe in the light?"

    I trust you in the jungle!

    Just when Malone was about to curse, Zhang Hao moved, Kenny Anderson also moved to the top arc, and Stockton immediately followed up.

    Zhang Hao helped Kenny Anderson block Stockton. Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Zhang Hao while going around the pick and roll. Malone's first reaction was not to guard against Zhang Hao's shot, but to guard against Zhang Hao's sudden mid-range shot. Today  They used up Zhang Hao's three points very well in the evening.

    When Malone saw Zhang Hao turn around and raise his hand after catching the ball in the pick-and-roll, it was already too late to pounce on him. Stockton jumped up hard and stretched out his hand, but there was still a gap between the ball that Zhang Hao turned around and put on his shoulder!

    Zhang Hao turned around, put the ball on the right side of his shoulder, and shot a three-point shot

    ¡°The pick-and-roll executor (Silver) triggers, and the wearing player Zhang Hao¡¯s three-point shooting after receiving the pick-and-roll will have a temporary +2 evaluation, and the temporary three-point evaluation will be 90¡­¡±

    ¡°Beheading (gold) triggers, and the player Zhang Hao is wearing this shot and feels hot"

    The ball was pushed out, reached the highest point, and just started to fall, the final whistle had already sounded.

    With the expectations of the fans at the scene, the expectations of his teammates and the completely different expectations of his opponents, he dived into the basket!

    The referee made a decisive decision, Zhang Hao¡¯s goal was valid, a three-pointer!

    The scene was boiling instantly!

    Relying on Zhang Hao's buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 94-93, 4-2, and returned to the Finals after 6 years!

    I¡¯m a little tired, please give me a monthly ticket to comfort me~

 Chapter 300 300. My iron elbow is already thirsty!

    Seeing Zhang Hao not choosing a more reliable mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll and dragging it into overtime, seeing Zhang Hao's expressionless face after pushing the ball out, a smile appeared on his face When the ball flew over his head, Malone  He didn't look up or turn his head to see if he had entered or not. The fierce cheers from the fans at the scene said it all!

    The postman is on holiday this weekend!

    Frustrated, desperate, unwillingbut helpless.

    It has been 12 years since I entered the NBA. This is not the first time I have played in the Western Conference Finals. I have played twice before. This time, like the previous two times, my progress has stopped here again.

    Zhang Hao scored 5 points in a row at the critical moment and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer. The Lakers eliminated the Jazz 4-2 and advanced to the finals!

    At this moment, Malone remembered what George Gervin, the legendary superstar, four-time scoring champion, multiple-time All-NBA player, who was extremely dazzling in the 1970s and 1980s, said when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame last summer - he did not win  It is a regret in my life to reach the championship, but the world of basketball is like this. I have a great career, but in the end I can only be called the embellishment next to the most dazzling people Looking back now, it was also a good experience.  .

    Good experience?

    Not bad!

    Ma Long is so unwilling!  Looking at the 20-year-old young man who was surrounded by his teammates and still looked calm after scoring the winning goal, he chose to turn around and leave.

    He doesn¡¯t want to accept his fate like George Gervin, not this year, come back next time!

    On the other side, after Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer, he received a system prompt - "Flapping Wings Target 3" completed, and the Malone's Elbow upgrade card was obtained!

    The excitement of his teammates infected Zhang Hao, but he could not lose his composure, so he tried hard to maintain a calm expression.

    I have to say that this is very arrogant, and the teammates are thinking that if they were Zhang Hao's opponents, they would definitely want to hit him at this moment.

    But it was the opponent who was stimulated His teammates didn't care, and they thought Zhang Hao should be like this.

    Reporters also poured into the court after the referee confirmed that the three-pointer was valid and the Lakers won.

    Zhang Hao was invited for a post-game interview. When asked about leading the team to the finals at the age of 20, he replied: "It's not that I am leading the team, but that I reached the finals with my teammates.  , I¡¯m so excited right now, I don¡¯t even know how lucky I am to have such a group of teammates.¡±

    This is a very good answer, and it doesn¡¯t irritate the reporters, but at this moment, the reporters don¡¯t want to continue asking.

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s expressionless faceyou call this excitement?

    The reporters thought for a while, and when the video was released, they asked the subtitle team to type a word next to Zhang Hao's face - excited, otherwise it would be hard to tell

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After 6 years, the Lakers and Bulls will face off again in the Finals!

    The Lakers' Magic is still smiling on the court, and the Bulls' Jordan is still the best player in the world. It seems that everything is just like it was at the beginning of the 1990s

    After the Western Conference Finals was decided, the old fans got excited!

    Zhang Hao has considerable influence among the new generation fan group, and has attracted countless fans since this year's playoffs; O'Neal and Kenny Anderson are also very popular among the Mesozoic fan group; Barkley, Will  Kingsespecially Magic, have a huge influence among the old fan base.

    Many major fan groups in the 1980s rarely watch football after entering the 1990s. The peak period of a fan is only about 10 years, but now, they are ready to pick up the remote control again and watch the finals!

    Apart from these, the fact that the Lakers reached the Finals alone is very sensational.

    The fact that the Lakers reached the finals is unexpected, but it is not unexpected at all. It is not surprising that the Lakers have entered the finals with this lineup. There is also a reason for not entering the finals. The new team has just formed.  There is opportunity for trial and error.

    But it is true that from the beginning, not many media concluded that the Lakers can enter the finals. The SuperSonics are the favorites in the Western Conference for a spot in the finals, last year's runner-up; the Jazz performed incredibly steadily this year, winning the regular season Western Conference.  First, it is the second favorite in the Western Conference to qualify for the finals.

    The Lakers were only ranked third, and when the regular season rankings were determined, the Lakers were looked down upon because they were unlucky to be ranked second in the Western Conference and needed to defeat the Sonics and Jazz in succession to advance to the finals  ¡­

    If the Lakers really don't make it to the finals, they will definitely be scolded. The lineup looks extremely domineering.

    ¡°However, not many people really think they can make it to the end.

    But they really did it!

    ?? Basically everyone came to the arena. Except for O'Neal, who had a mild strain on his shoulder muscles and triceps and needed to go to the hospital for physical therapy, and Jerome Corsi, who had an old injury, he was resting at home. Other players including  Ben Wallace, who will not have playing time, came to the arena.

    The emphasis is on participation, listening more, watching more, and learning more. This is what the boss told Ben Wallace. Ben Wallace took it to heart and persisted.

    The team members got together and talked about last night's game for more than an hour. Those who still wanted to train went to train, and those who wanted to go home went home. They still need to rest when they should.

    After Jason Williams ran away, Zhang Hao found Ben Wallace.

    What else can Ben Wallace do?  Let¡¯s practice back kicking with the boss!

    After practicing for a few minutes

    ¡°Boss, I have something to do at home, so I¡¯m going back first!¡± After saying that, Ben Wallace ran away.

    "What can happen to a single guy who rents an apartment? Just stop hereVakeyou"

    Zhang Hao angrily uttered an American swear word. He felt so miserable. He got the Malone Elbow upgrade card last night. He used it immediately when he returned to the locker room to take a shower after the interview.

    ¡°Karl Malone¡¯s Elbow (Silver):

    Passive bonus: During the competition, when using the elbow to fight, the maximum strength rating can reach 95 + 127 kg body weight.

    How to advance: Uncrowned King?

    Advanced bonus: gold (elbow strength can reach up to 100 strength rating + 127 kg level).  "

    "When this arm is waving, it's already at the level of a young shark!"

    In terms of Zhang Hao's own strength improvement, with the increase of age and weight, his current strength of 104 kilograms has reached 92. If he wants to continue to improve, he will probably only gain weight, but that will inevitably have a further impact on speed and flexibility.  It does more harm than good.

    But with this, he no longer has such a big need for strength improvement. At this stage, his playing style and the direction he is strengthening require speed and flexibility more than strength.

    It¡¯s not that strength is not important, now, he can hit even harder from the back!

    Zhang Hao did not watch the news today and directly blocked public opinion. He knew that there would be a lot of news praising his performance in the playoffs, but he did not want to read it because he knew that the media would be more optimistic about the Bulls at this time. It was disappointing to see it.  .

    Rather than focusing on those things, it is better to prepare for the finals, such as making better use of the strengthened iron elbow Unfortunately, no one among his teammates is willing to practice with him

    However, even if no one practiced with him, he was still happy. All his teammates ran away. He stood in the center of the training ground, excitedly raising his arms and waving

    Kenny Anderson came back to get his things and looked at Zhang Hao waving his arms on the training ground. Thisdoes his little brother want to fly high?

 Chapter 301 301. I am an atheist (two updates and ten thousand words, please vote for me!)

    This time the Lakers and Bulls met in the Finals, the impact was even greater than when Jordan reached the Finals for the first time in 1991 and was the first player in the league between the old and new generations to face off!

    ??Among them, China and some countries and regions in Asia have contributed the most to attention.

    Zhang Hao led the team yes, Zhang Hao led the team as written directly in China. His interview at the end of the Western Conference Finals was described as "humble" by the domestic media. He led the team to the finals, and the domestic sports world has turned upside down.  Oh my God!

    Since the great man drew a circle in the South China Sea, China's economy has entered a stage of rapid development, the problem of food has gradually been solved, survival is not such a difficult goal, and people's spiritual needs have also begun to arise.

    However, economic development is accompanied by the impact of foreign culture. At this time, domestic software strength, that is, sports and entertainment, is rapidly occupied by other countries This trend is irreversible for the time being.

    But at this time, deep down in people¡¯s hearts, they actually long for the emergence of a Chinese who stands on top of the world in a certain field.

    Just like the future Yao Ming in the original time and space entered the NBA and attracted the strongest attention in the domestic sports world, Zhang Hao stood at the forefront of the times. After two years of accumulation, he reached the finals this time. His popularity and attention in the country  It¡¯s time to take off!

    ¡­¡­

    Domestic media are overwhelmingly promoting the Lakers reaching the finals and promoting Zhang Hao. Naturally, the attention in the United States will not be low.

    In terms of public opinion, the Bulls have a relatively loud voice in defending their title, but this is the opinion of the media, experts, and retired players.

    In terms of support, some media conducted street surveys in 10 cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Phoenix which are the largest NBA markets.

    On the afternoon of June 4, American cable TV stations randomly interviewed 100 passers-by on the streets of these cities, asking whether they would rather the Lakers win the championship or the Bulls.

    On June 5, the day before the first game of the Finals between the Lakers and the Bulls, the American cable TV station announced a support comparison. 9 to 1, the Lakers crushed the Bulls in terms of support.

    With the exception of Chicago, where 98 people supported the Bulls and 1 person supported the Lakers and 1 abstained from voting, in the other 9 cities, the support for the Lakers crushed the Bulls.

    Because the Bulls have been so hated over the years!  Entering the 1990s, this is the 7th season. In the first 6 seasons, the Bulls won 4 championships. Even after the Bulls won 70 wins last season, many media were saying that if Jordan had not retired, he would have won 6 championships.  Winning consecutive championships.

    Not many people agree with this statement, but it makes the Bulls even more hated.

    When Jordan truly becomes a god one day, perhaps this statement will be believed by some people, but currently, those who have watched Olajuwon¡¯s performance in the 1994 and 1995 playoffs definitely do not agree with this statement.

    Too many people want to see the Bulls lose the finals. Although there are many Bulls fans, there are even more fans who are not Bulls fans!

    So, this magical scene appeared - no one shouted beat-la anymore, and the shouts of basketball fans in most parts of the United States in the finals became la-go-go-go

    This poll makes some Bulls fans unhappy, but most Bulls fans are happy. That is to say, generally speaking, Bulls fans like fans of other teams who want to beat their Bulls but can¡¯t do anything about it.  look.

    But today the Bulls general manager was not happy. He gritted his teeth and signed the application submitted by the finance department. The Bulls finance department handed over 8 full sets of tickets for the Bulls' games in this year's finals to someone from the Lakers who did not want to disclose.  The girlfriend and assistant of the named high school player No. 8.

    The support for their team is high, and their young stars are dazzling without limit. As the opponent's general manager, when the opponent asked for 8 sets of tickets, he really didn't want to give it to him, but if something went wrong he would still give it to him.  Bar.

    Jerry Krause has never had such high expectations for Jordan Ever since Jordan started calling him a fat pig, his relationship with Jordan has never eased.

    But now, Jerry Krause is praying to God, praying that Jordan will lead the team to beat the Lakers.

    8 sets of tickets!  Is this a request that anyone can make?

    The 2nd grader across from me really brought it up!

    ¡­¡­

    Tomorrow is the finals, time is very short and passes quickly

    We arrived in Chicago in the morning and conducted simple preparation training in the afternoon. The Lakers' slightly hasty preparations for the finals were over.

    The good thing is that it¡¯s already the finals. The Lakers players and coaching staff are paying attention to the Bulls¡¯ game. The Bulls have shown everything they need to show in this year¡¯s playoffs. The Bulls won the championship last year.What a group of stars who don't get a break.

    The media swarmed in. Under the instruction of the league, the Lakers could only hold a press conference during the lunch break to allow the media to interview the Lakers star group. Yesterday, the Lakers also had three 50-year-old superstars who also had the same talent.  Many Bulls stars have been interviewed, and major TV stations will edit them for broadcast before tonight's game.

    The purpose is definitely to promote ratings.

    Serious men are the most beautiful. At this time, the Lakers stars know very well that what they say must represent their team This is not important. What others think, Magic, Barkley, and Wilkins are the three veterans.  Don't care, O'Neal has been scolded more and more thick-skinned in the past two years. Kenny Anderson almost thought he was going to become a bum after last season, and his mentality has grown a lot.

    What they care about is whether their answers will affect their teammates. If they want to affect their teammates, it must be in a positive direction and cannot damage their own team.

    ¡°Every word and action is very important at this time, so during the interview process, the answers from the Lakers star group were allofficial.

    Who is not an old fritter?

    Reporters found a lot of trouble. For example, they asked Magic about the 1991 Finals. Magic answered that he was sorry that Jordan failed to reach the Finals when he was young, otherwise the peak showdown would be more interesting.

    When I asked O'Neal about the 1995 Finals, he didn't get angry. Instead, he brought up the 4-2 defeat of the Bulls in the 1995 playoffs, saying that Olajuwon might have been better than Jordan in his peak period, but he was not as friendly with Jordan's teammates.  , which made the Chicago media extremely angry.

    When asked whether Wilkins and Jordan could never compete for the scoring title, Wilkins's answer was that he didn't have as good a talent as Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao could do it, but he couldn't.

    Asked Barkley about the 1993 Finals, Barkley was generous

    There was nothing wrong with their answers, which frustrated the media because they couldn¡¯t find any breaking points!

    Like Kenny Anderson, there is nothing to target. He is just an ordinary Lakers captain and team boss, with no sense of existence.

    The media were very reluctant, but they could only point the finger at Zhang Hao, who was not asked much tonight.

    If possible, the media would prefer to "coexist peacefully" with Zhang Hao. This 20-year-old young man can always make them doubt his professionalism.

    But some media were eager to give it a try. When the question focused on Zhang Hao, a local reporter in Chicago asked: "Everyone is saying that Jordan is the god of the basketball world. How likely do you think you are to defeat the team led by the god of the basketball world?"  Team?"

    "We? Who is we? Can you represent us?"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s decisive answer made other reporters sympathize with this local reporter from Chicago

    But Zhang Hao didn¡¯t end there. After a pause, he picked up the microphone and continued: "Mr. Jordan is the god of basketball in your mindSorry, I am an atheist."

 Chapter 302 302. Finally come this far!

    United Center, a sea of ??red.

    Yesterday the Lakers came to Chicago, and the city¡¯s basketball enthusiasm has reached a boiling point.

    As the team with the third most championships in NBA history, Bulls fans are ambitious.

    Although their 4 championships are a bit far behind the 11 championships of the Lakers, which has the second most championships, but!  In just 6 years, they have gone from 0 championships to 4 championships. They have won the third most championships in NBA history, so they naturally have higher expectations.

    As the saying goes, tall buildings rise from the ground!

    Nothing is Impossible!

    Just like the surging mood of the fans at the scene, the Bulls players were also surging!

    It is not just as simple as building one or two dynasties. As the top players in history, Jordan, Pippen and others also hope that they can be like George Mikan, Jerry West, Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar  , became the cornerstone of a wealthy team and the founder of a traditional wealthy team.

    At 5:40 in the evening, the entrance ceremony began. The Lakers were the first to appear. 10 players other than the five major stars ran out first and stood on both sides of the player tunnel. Under the introduction of the Bulls DJ¡¯s deep voice and the fans at the scene,  Amidst the boos, O'Neal ran out of the tunnel.

    On the other side of the tunnel, Jordan took a deep breath. Who in the Lakers put the most pressure on him was really not Zhang Hao, but the super center who was the first to play for the Lakers.

    It doesn¡¯t matter what others say. In Jordan¡¯s view, O¡¯Neal is the core of the Lakers¡¯ ability to win in the playoffs. Without O¡¯Neal to support him, how far can Zhang Hao raise his ceiling?

    The person who ran out right after eh?

    Jordan was a little surprised when he heard the introduction from the DJ. It was not Zhang Hao, but Barkley.

    O'Neal and Barkley, the fans at the scene couldn't stop booing. The threat of these two people to their Bulls can be felt personally. They don't have an inside combination like Malone + Ostertag.

    Then came Kenny Anderson, and the boos began to cool down, because that guy was about to come out, and the fans were ready to give that guy the fiercest shouts, abuses, taunts, and give that guy their highest respect.  .

    But when he saw Kenny Anderson running out, Jordan felt something was wrong

    "No way¡­¡­"

    Just when Jordan was in disbelief, DJ¡¯s voice, which he had been trying to control and calm down, also started to tremble.

    "Welcome, the greatest point guard in history, Magic Earvin Johnson"

    For Magic, even the Bulls fans showed respect. The on-site DJ introduced the four Lakers players. For the first time, he added an introduction, and it was such an introduction.

    But the fans and Bulls players, at this time, their attention was not at all on the introduction of "the greatest point guard in history", but they were shocked!

    The magician was actually the fourth one to come out, and the fans at the scene had been preparing to boo for a while and felt lonely!

    Originally, when the magician came out, the fans at the scene planned to give him some applause. However, when the magician came out, the scene was quiet for a while. Immediately, the fans reacted and booed wildly.

    Not to Magic, but to the guy still in the tunnel!

    DJ was also inspired, his voice was no longer suppressed, and he shouted in an angry voice: "Welcome the new scoring champion, Aix-Zhang"

    The boos from the fans at the scene increased again, as if they were going to break through the ceiling.

    Seeing that face that never seemed to change appeared in the spotlight, the fans at the scene booed one after another, as if it would never stop!

    "It's interesting that such a thing can happen"

    In the player tunnel on the other side, a smile appeared on Jordan's lips.

    Surprised, but not surprised, just a little fast. The 20-year-old kid with such good talent that he felt pressured has already reached this stage in his second year.

    On the Lakers side, O'Neal, who was watching Zhang Hao running out of the tunnel calmly and standing next to the substitutes, was envious and jealous. However, he still reached out and gave Zhang Hao a high-five when Zhang Hao ran out.

    "You ran ahead this time, but I will definitely get it back!"

    ¡­¡­

    The opponent was surprised, the fans at the scene were surprised, and the TV commentator also said it was incredible.

    But the Lakers players may not be reconciled to this change in the order of appearance. When Magic asked Zhang Hao to appear last, no one came out to object.

    In the last game, I finished 38 by myself.?That's how he felt.

    Pippen caught the ball from the top of the arc. Ron Harper passed the ball to Pippen and then cut in. Jordan slipped to the baseline. At the same time, Rodman pulled out to help Ron Harper block the chasing Kenny Anderson.  Well, Harper took advantage of the pick-and-roll and moved to the mid-range on the left baseline. Jordan took Zhang Hao away from the basket to defend the off-ball pick-and-roll. Doug Christie went around to defend Longley well. Longley pulled away and Pippen passed for a three-pointer.  One step inside the left side of the second zone, Rodman has already pressed Kenny Anderson to the left side of the reasonable collision zone.

    With this goal, the Lakers really didn¡¯t expect the Bulls to play like this. They thought the third point of the triangle offense should be Longley or Ron Harper, but it turned out to be Rodman!

    Rodman received the ball and shothit the right side of the basket!

    Everything came out and there was an opportunity, but Rodman didn't take it.

    This is not a question of tactics or execution, it can only be said to be bad luck.

    O'Neal, who recovered, grabbed a defensive rebound, and Longley led the retreat. Rodman interfered with O'Neal, who grabbed the rebound. The steal was fruitless, and the Lakers fell into a positional battle attack.

    The Lakers played reallysimple!

    Pulling away, O'Neal hits in the low post!

    Strong back impact, flexible turns, skilled ball protection O'Neal dunked the ball into the basket through Longley!

    This is not the first time Longley has been treated like this in the playoffs. The Bulls have played against O'Neal in the past two years. They played 10 games and the Bulls won 6 games. The series record was 1 win and 1 loss.  O'Neal won 4-2, and the Bulls responded with a sweep.

    Longley has already done a good job of psychological construction, just try his best to hold the opponent and consume the opponent. O'Neal has sufficient physical strength, and he knows that he will definitely not be able to guard against it.

    Anyway, O'Neal can't play like this a few times in a game, so he can just wait until the end.

    ? 4-0, the Lakers looked to have a good start.

    But after a few rounds, the Lakers didn't seem to have any advantage. The Bulls are too experienced and are very good at taking advantage of the examples of other teams.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? gap do(um-a bear glory category category were?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???????? out out of ¡¯ ¡¯ ¡¯ s ¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯¡¯ out out through out through out through out through''''''¡¯''''''''''' through through out right- Through- Through-'''''¡¯ out of 100,000.

    No matter how irritable O'Neal was in the low post, how talented Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao looked in the pick-and-roll, and how well O'Neal and Zhang Hao's inside and outside cooperation worked together, the Bulls played steadily without any thought of competing with the Lakers.

    Jordan no longer needs to rely on any highlight moments to prove himself. In the playoffs, he really faced off against Zhang Hao. He even put aside his previous vigorous points battle with Zhang Hao as the best containment.  He will help Pippen sort out the team's offense, and as a single defense leader, he will defend Kenny Anderson like he restricted Iverson.

    The Bulls had 11 wins and 1 loss in this year's playoffs. They hardly wasted any energy. The stable strength they showed was on par with the Jazz. They also made good use of the Jazz's demonstration and faced Zhang Hao + O'Neal's mid-range and close range.  In a sweeping defense under the basket, the Bulls chose to pull out inside and arrange Ron Harper, who is sharp at attacking the basket, and Luke Longley, who looks clumsy but is actually very skilled and knows a few offensive methods on both sides of the baseline.  , creating opportunities in the middle and high-post shooting opportunities.

    It seems that the Bulls are not as fierce and sturdy as the Lakers, but in terms of score, the Bulls have been clinging to it.

    At 4 minutes and 24 seconds into the first quarter, Doug Christie missed a three-pointer after catching the ball. O'Neal rushed to grab the offensive rebound and dialed it out. Zhang Hao received the ball and faced the rushing Pippen. Zhang Hao turned and leaned  ¡­

    Pippen was so knocked that he cursed and took a few steps back. Zhang Hao turned over and shot a jumperhit!

    With this ball, many fans at the scene exclaimedit really looks like Jordan!

    Jordan felt as if he had eaten something unclean, and his expression was strange.

    It¡¯s no longer just like Barkley or Mark Jackson, but now it actually feels like Malone pushes his opponent away with his elbow and then turns around and shoots a jump shot.

    However, he, Qiao, taught him the turning movements and jump shooting movements!

    Dirty!

    It¡¯s really dirty!

    13 to 10, the Lakers continued to maintain their lead.

    When the Bulls attack, Zhang Hao, who retreats from defense, always feels that the situation tonight is strange

    It wasn¡¯t until Jordan ran back and pulled out around the top arc to catch Pippen¡¯s sudden three-pointer that Zhang Hao figured out what was wrong!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 303 303. Brutal Flying Pig!

    When Pippen broke through, Jordan went around the top arc and no one cared!

    It is said that the Lakers started to despise Jordan's defense. It is definitely not the case. Doug Christie's outside shooting performance was not good at the beginning tonight because he risked his life to find confrontation with Jordan every time the Bulls started to attack. This is  Part of defense, a war of attrition.

    But Jordan has been responsible for containment, and his execution has exceeded expectations. When Doug Christie first defended, it was still the same as before. But when the Bulls offense began to unfold and other positions needed to be filled, the defense behind Doug Christie  , unconsciously helping to defend Pippen who was breaking through and Longley who was pulling into the mid-range. Jordan seized the opportunity and made a three-pointer!

    When Jordan made this three-pointer, Zhang Hao realized what the strange and awkward feeling before was coming from.

    Different from when playing against the Bulls in the regular season, Jordan always showed his sharpness and wanted to work hard to prove that he was the best player every moment. This was Jordan's second shot tonight. Before taking the initiative to find an opportunity this time, Jordan  There was only one catch-and-shoot shot, but it didn't go in. Jordan was such a dazzling superstar, but he actually hid himself during the offense!

    For a moment, Zhang Hao was reminded of Kobe after 2008 in the original time and space. At that time, Kobe had Gasol and won two consecutive championships. This is how he played!

    In the normal stage, he carefully hides himself, and reveals his ferocious fangs when needed!

    Kobe is like Jordan, which is really not just body shape, appearance, and technical similarity. The details of this style of play are also very similar!

    Jordan seized a good open three-point opportunity and made it, and the Lakers' defense was immediately affected.

    Jordan's three-pointer was defeated, but the three-point line from the top arc was so good. Who made the three-point line in the top arc area shortened by so much?

    The owners of other teams in the league have jointly proposed to the league to restore the original three-point line. This proposal has also entered the league review stage. A vote will be held at the new season preparatory meeting after the end of the season, and it is basically certain to be passed.

    There is only one purpose - to limit Jordan's performance.

    Jordan has a 42.7% three-point shooting rate in the past two years and averaged 1.4 three-pointers per game. This season, he has made 105 three-pointers in the top arc area within a 45-degree angle on both sides. He has only made three-pointers outside the top arc area this season.  Scored 9 three-pointers. Last season, he made 101 three-pointers in the top arc area and 13 three-pointers outside the top arc area. Including the 17 games played in the 1994-95 season, he made a total of 17 three-pointers.  Three-pointers, in the past two years or so since his comeback, his three-pointers have almost caught up with the total number of three-pointers he made in the first nine years of his career!

    This must be limited.

    No, after Jordan hit a three-pointer, the Lakers defense experienced huge fluctuations. In the next 1 minute and 37 seconds, the Bulls made three attacks and successfully scored two close-range throws.

    At 6 minutes and 51 seconds of the first quarter, the Lakers called a timeout, 13 to 17, 4 points behind!

    ¡­¡­

    The game has entered the official pause stage.

    Back on the bench, Zhang Hao felt a headache

    With a stable and strong combat power like the Jazz, and a periodic super explosive strength that the Jazz does not have, the God of Basketball is really the God of Basketball!

    The changes in the Bulls are all due to Jordan, and Jordan's tyrannical strength allows the superstars on the opposite side to always use their methods to produce results.

    Thanks to O'Neal, otherwise they might have had a miserable start. He faced Rodman, who was better defensively than Malone.  All of the offensive turnaround jump shot opportunities were scored, and he scored 4 points and 1 rebound, 1 point more than Jordan who only scored 3 points.

    O'Neal has shown the ability to hold the Lakers back from the second round since the second round. It was also shown in the beginning, but he was also very tired.

    Luke Longley is often booed by Bulls fans, but he works well. Otherwise, with so many centers ogling the Bulls in the summer, the Bulls would have replaced him long ago. Zen Master knows best what kind of players are easy to use.

    Silver Fox, on his side, was tapping on the tactical board He was holding on tightly with his left hand. He didn't know why, but he just wanted to hold on tighter.

    After thinking about it, I didn¡¯t adjust my playing style. Before the game, I had already planned how to play during the rotation phase. I just made a few adjustments in the rotation.

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the two teams rotated their lineups.

    The Bulls sent a combination of Ron Harper, Steve Kerr, Jordan, Rodman, and Kukoc.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Barkley, and Zhang Hao.

    Only one person has changed!  Just useWhen Klee came up, he led his team to a rapid 10-5 run. The Jazz would have had to endure it at this time, but the Bulls, they had Jordan!

    The fans at the scene and in front of the TV were already excited to watch the first quarter of the first game of the finals as coaches battled wits and players battled bravely!

    Although Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Bill Walton doesn't like the Lakers or the Bulls, he still said that this is the highest level matchup in this year's playoffs. Barkley's performance is surprising. Between Zhang Hao and Kenny-  With Anderson maintaining his standard, Barkley drove the Lakers' offensive rhythm, and Jordan's performance was even more impeccable.

    After the first quarter, the Bulls once again overtook the Lakers 28-27, gaining a 1-point lead to end the first quarter.

    ¡­¡­

    In the second half of the first quarter, it seemed that the Bulls were holding on and won the entire quarter by 1 point. The fans at the scene were very excited and had an advantage!

    But in the eyes of the Bulls players and coaching staff, this is not the case. When there is enough time, the team that plays the advantage first is actually not as strong as the team that plays the advantage later.

    Barkley¡¯s performance in the finals really exceeded the Bulls¡¯ expectations!

    Barkley performed very well against the Bulls twice in the regular season, with 20+ points in both games. However, at that time, Barkley was more about his ability to seize opportunities and perform well. At that time, it was Zhang Hao,  O'Neal, Kenny Anderson and even Doug Christie and Magic are all creating opportunities. Barkley's ability to seize those opportunities is not surprising and is within the Bulls' expectations.

    During this year's Western Conference playoffs, Barkley was almost in the same situation. Even in the Western Conference Finals, except for G5, they actually played like that.

    But in the second half of the first quarter tonight, Barkley was a leader!

    To be honest, the Silver Fox himself didn't expect that Barkley could play so hard. Without O'Neal, Barkley's team scored 14 to 11 in the half quarter. If Jordan hadn't scored 6 points in the second half of the quarter and finally made the buzzer-beating shot  Throwing a shot, the Lakers are in the lead.

    The Silver Foxes didn¡¯t expect it, and the Bulls didn¡¯t even expect it.

    It¡¯s really because Barkley was put on the bench, and his statistics are the lowest in his career in all aspects

    Sure enough, in the first half of the second quarter, the Bulls players had a bad premonition.

    Barkley performed very well in the first quarter, using his super offensive rebounds to drive the team's cooperation and help the team wear down Bulls pitchers on the defensive end. At the beginning of the second quarter, when Rodman went to rest, Barkley  Turning on the personal scoring mode, he scored 7 points in a row and made 3 of 3 shots, leading the Lakers to an 11-5 run!

    Barkley assumed the main offensive responsibility, and Brian Shaw and Magic cooperated fully after coming off the bench. Zhang Hao, who went to the back line to defend, did not steal the spotlight from Barkley because Barkley was the main attacker and was indeed the strongest Lakers team except O'Neal.  Yes, as far as tonight's performance is concerned, Barkley and O'Neal led the team in the paint alone. Barkley performed even better and had more choices to make.

    The Lakers had a climax, taking a 38-33 lead and leading the Bulls by 5 points. At this time, the Lakers were ready to widen the gap but failed.

    Jordan made a three-pointer and a counterattack dunk after Zhang Hao caught the ball and beat the chasing Zhang Hao with a 2+1. He scored 6 points in a row and scored a 6-0 alone, taking the lead again!

    This is why the Bulls' record is 6 games higher than that of the Lakers and Jazz!

    ??When critical balls and anxious moments require superstars to stand up, the Bulls will not lose to the Lakers, and their stability is better than the Lakers.

    With regular combat power and stable performance, the Bulls will not lose to the Jazz, but their explosive ability is better than the Jazz.

    The Bulls, who have won 70 games for two consecutive years and are said to be in better shape this year than last year, once again proved their strength in the finals!

 Chapter 304 304. Invincible Bull

    Jordan officially started the duel with Barkley, and Pippen was resting. The two each led their teammates to face each other. The Lakers, who had better shooting performance at this stage, led by Barkley until the official timeout, relied on Zhang Hao once  The back-up baseline turned around and hit a layup to gain a 2-point lead.

    But obviously Jordan on the Bulls side has already played his best. That is to say, after Barkley's fierce attack, Zhang Hao's catch-up shooting and Barkley's post-up play when he needed to slow down were very stable, and the Lakers gained a 2-point advantage.  Entering the official pause phase.

    "The fact that Barkley played so hard and so fearlessly was inseparable from the fact that Zhang Hao was standing behind him.

    Although his trust in Zhang Hao is not blind, it is still higher than that of all his teammates in the other 12 years of his career.

    Under the pressure of the finals, Zhang Hao did not disappoint Barkley. He improved the ball and seized the opportunities that should be grasped. In this game where the level was once again raised by Jordan and Barkley, Zhang Hao showed his ability.  Amazing maturity and ability to withstand pressure.

    In the second half of the second quarter, the Silver Fox made an unexpected adjustment and sent out a combination of Brian Shaw, Byron Scott, Wilkins, Magic, and O'Neal.

    This rotation is really unexpected, mainly because Zhang Hao was replaced.

    Since the second round, Zhang Hao has played an average of 46 minutes per game, almost without rest.

    Silver Fox made this decision with some thought. On the one hand, even though Zhang Hao's physical strength seemed to be fine, he also noticed the details. If Zhang Hao had more rest time in the first half, his physical condition would be much better later in the game.  , It¡¯s not that if you don¡¯t give rest time, your physical condition will be bad, but it will be better, like Jordan and the rookie Iverson of the 76ers, he will become better.

    ??Also, after Jordan started to exert force in the second quarter of the Bulls, he played very hard. The Lakers could choose to fight violence with violence and play steadily, but the Silver Fox didn't want to, so he chose to take a chance!

    The Magician provides support in the center, O'Neal plays singles or rushes, and a group of pitchers surround him!

    This round of gambling, Silver Fox won!

    More than five minutes after the second quarter, O'Neal led the team to a 14-9 run. After halftime, the Lakers had a 7-point lead, 59-52!

    Byron Scott and Wilkins, a pair of 37-year-old veteran forwards and defenders, scored three three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter!

    This is indeed a situation that Zen Master did not expect. The two of them had no chance to play in the first quarter and a half, and the Silver Fox actually dared to send them as the main pitchers.

    But it is precisely because they did not play in the first quarter and a half that the two were not consumed by the strong confrontation, which is reasonable.

    Just daring to do this in the finals, Zen Master recalled more than ten years ago, when Silver Fox led the 40-win team all the way to the finals in his second year as coach, and was called a madman for his coaching performance.

    Cunning and boldness are the hallmarks of Silver Fox coaching!

    ¡­¡­

    The Bulls played very well in the first half, both offensively and defensively, and were impeccable, but the Lakers still had a 7-point lead, which was quite exciting for the Lakers players!

    During the half-time break, Silver Fox begins to prepare for the big move, and needs to start further preparations for the big move - to further improve the attrition war style!

    After the start of the third quarter, the Lakers changed into the starting lineup again, trying to maximize the iron-blooded mode.

    However, the Bulls, who were at a disadvantage after the first half, exploded in the third quarter!

    What is the strongest third quarter team in history?

    Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman led the team to put on a good show!

    18-9 at half quarter, the Bulls quickly overtook the score in the third quarter!  70 to 68, the Bulls had an explosive performance on both offense and defense in 6 minutes and 11 seconds!

    Strong, fierce and invincible!  This wave of impact from the Bulls beat the Lakers so hard that they didn't know what to do!

    The Heat¡¯s defense was one of the best in the league before?  In the series where the Bulls defeated the Heat 4-1, the Bulls trampled the Heat's defense on the ground in almost every third quarter of the game.

    During the official suspension period, Zhang Hao made a decisive choice, 45 destiny, krypton!  Put on the secretly hidden O'Neal jersey

    O'Neal was stunned when he saw Zhang Hao taking out one of his jerseys He asked why there was no jersey in the closet when he came to the arena to warm up in the afternoon. He thought it was because the staff had forgotten it, so he ran to find the staff.  Yes, the staff was also confused. Fortunately, the Lakers team was not rich but was very angry, so they prepared several sets of jerseys.

    When Zhang Hao put on O'Neal's jersey and played, the referee was helpless, but according to the rules, he really had no right or obligation to control what number he wore in the arena, as long as the players of the team wore that number.?Catch the ball and make up for it.

    In this regard, Zen Master's judgment was that Zhang Hao used brute force to hit the back, which affected his shooting touch, because he saw that Zhang Hao made one of three field goals in the 13 minutes from the second half of the third quarter to the first half of the fourth quarter.  , the gap was relatively large when he entered, and he had enough time to adjust. The two times he shot quickly were solid, and Zhang Hao also cut more inside, and did not open more outside to cut in like before.  Teammates create opportunities.

    Zen Master¡¯s judgment was correct, the decision he made was decisive, and the execution effect was effective The Lakers¡¯ post-up mode was limited in the second half of the fourth quarter, and they only scored 10 in 5 minutes and 22 seconds.  point!

    When Jordan made a low-post turnaround jumper at 11 minutes and 45 seconds of the fourth quarter, causing O'Neal to foul and make the shot and extra free throw, the Bulls made the score 112 to 108!

    The Bulls did not make the same mistake as the Jazz did in G6 of the Western Conference Finals. They did not do anything extra at the last moment. Zhang Hao quickly rushed to the frontcourt to catch the ball and missed a three-point shot. Rodman did not hit the ball after grabbing the defensive rebound.  Okay, the last few seconds have been consumed.

    In the end, Jordan scored 38 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals thanks to 13 of 24 shooting, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 10 of 11 free throws. Pippen had 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists, Steve-  Cole's 16 points, Kukoc's 18 points the Bulls narrowly defeated the Lakers 112-108 at home and won the first game of the Finals!

    Although Zhang Hao played 42 minutes and scored 32 points on 11 of 23 shots, Barkley scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, O'Neal scored 24 points and 13 rebounds, and several veteran Lakers pitchers also played well.  Anderson faced Erwin Robertson and Jordan's defensive turns and did not make too many mistakes. He was as stable as ever. The performance of the role players was remarkable, but at the critical moment, he still failed.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Lost the first battle!

    After the game, watching Jordan surrounded by reporters, the Lakers players were very reluctant, but there was nothing they could do.

    If you lose, you lose. If you only lose 4 points, you lose.

    Losing by 4 points is really exciting. If we lose by 58 points, it can be said that there are many aspects that we have not done well. If we make adjustments next time, there will definitely be room for improvement.

    But losing by 4 points means that there are not many things that went wrong, except that we didn¡¯t play as well as the opponent at the last moment.

    The ones who are most frustrated are not the veterans or superstars, but the younger role players.

    For example, Jason Williams blamed himself for not protecting two rebounds well. Rodman grabbed offensive rebounds, but Jordan converted them into points. This is 4 points, which is the point they lost.  Difference.

    Doug Christie also blamed himself for missing all three open shot opportunities in the first half and failing to defend against Jordan. George Lynch also thought the same thing about his defense against Pippen and against Kukoc.  The defense changes and the defense against Steve Kerr did not meet expectations.

    The young role players blame themselves because the team¡¯s big bosses have performed well enough. Look at the Bulls role players, and then look at themselves I really feel sorry for the big bosses.

    At this time, it is the big guys who need to comfort the young people.

    Despite O¡¯Neal¡¯s usually arrogant appearance, after returning to the villa after physical therapy, he and Brian Shaw knocked on the doors of his teammates¡¯ rooms one by one and had a good talk with them about tonight¡¯s game.

    This shows that among the ok groups in the original time and space, Kobe was obviously more dedicated and more capable on the court, but privately it was the reason why O'Neal was more popular with his teammates.

    The same is true for the current Lakers. Compared with Zhang Hao, O'Neal is privately more popular with his teammates. It's just that Zhang Hao is not as unpopular as the highly conceited Kobe in the original time and space, and often arouses resistance from his teammates.

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 305 305. You say I only represent the future?

    O'Neal and Brian Shaw, a living treasure and an all-around role player with very good leadership skills, went to appease their young teammates. The four veterans of Magic, Wilkins, Barkley, and Jerome Corsey came to knock on the door.  Opened the door of Zhang Hao's villa.

    This is called the card face!

    Mainly because Zhang Hao is difficult to deal with

    "Relax, it doesn't matter if you lose the first game of the finals. This is an away game. There are still 6 games to come. You have played well enough. I don't blame you for not scoring the last two three-pointers. Without you, we would have been a long time ago."  Lost."

    ¡°What we have to do is to adjust our mentality, learn lessons, and do the things we didn¡¯t do tonight well the day after tomorrow.¡±

    "We still have an advantage. Cole and Kukoc played so well tonight, Jordan also went berserk, and we only lost by 4 points. I think we can win the next game"

    ""

    ""

    The four veterans kept talking about their good performance tonight one after another, and then analyzed the game from the good side, comforting Zhang Hao who couldn't tell whether he was happy or frustrated after losing.

    But I felt very powerless when I said it, because they really couldn't see Zhang Hao's emotions, but they had to do it, even if it might be a waste of effort, but what if Zhang Hao was really depressed?  Doubt yourself?

    They are veterans and have enough experience to know that some highly confident people can suffer more negative emotions after a real shock than those who are less confident.

    It¡¯s better to be prepared for this kind of thing. Anyway, if you do something that takes a little effort, it¡¯s better than not doing it.

    Originally, Zhang Hao planned to interrupt them from the beginning, but after listening to it, he found it quite interesting. After the four veterans talked for half an hour and stared at each other, Zhang Hao coughed and indicated that he was ready to speak.

    The four veterans quickly pricked up their ears, preparing to analyze Zhang Hao's current emotions and thoughts from Zhang Hao's words.

    I saw Zhang Hao say: "Mr. Barkley, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Corsi, you have lost to Jordan 12 times in the finals. You must be very experienced. How should I adjust now?"

    Barkley, Magic, and Jerome Corsi were stunned for a moment, what he said

    Then they realized that Zhang Hao was not as easily distracted as they thought.

    In the end, after fully reacting, the three of them became furious instantly. Buckley made the first move and stretched out his hand towards Zhang Hao.

    Magician and Jerome Corsey were led by Barkley and prepared to rebel against the team boss!

    Zhang Hao had long expected that this group of people were not so "loyal". They were the kind of old men who would rebel faster than fall out. Their turning movements were more flexible than Jordan's, their starting speed was comparable to Grant Hill's, and their straight-line acceleration when escaping was not inferior to that of Jordan.  Len Iverson immediately fled from the living room to his room and closed the door.

    No matter how yelled or scolded outside, he wouldn¡¯t open the door!

    The person who yelled the most intense curses was Wilkins. At first glance, Zhang Hao¡¯s words seemed to have nothing to do with him, but if you think about it carefully-fuck!  Zhang Hao didn't mention him, and the meaning was obvious - you have never made it to the finals.

    At this point, Wilkins quickly became furious along with the other three veterans.

    After a commotion, the four veterans apologized to Zhang Hao and his family and left.

    When leaving the villa where Zhang Hao lived and returning to the villa where their veteran group lived, the magician walked and suddenly laughed and said: "I originally thought we were here to comfort Aix, but it turned out that he made us relax.  Quite a few.¡±

    Buckley, who was still scolding Zhang Hao for his usual minor problems while walking, was stunned for a moment when he heard this and discovered this.

    Although he came to comfort Zhang Hao, in fact, he was under the greatest pressure as the second fat man. He was as frustrated as anyone else after losing the first game.

    He is the one who desires the most and can afford to lose the most at this time.

    Yes, he is prepared to come back next year if he fails this year. However, he has already reached the finals this year, and of course he wants to win the coveted championship ring immediately.

    ¡°Compared to those young people who are full of expectations for the future, Barkley is not really so confident that if they reach the finals this year, they will definitely reach it next year.

    The older you get, the less courageous you are. This is evident in the fact that you are not afraid, but you know that every time an opportunity arises, you must fight for it with all your strength and seize it, otherwise there may not be another opportunity.

    There are actually very few teams that can really reach the finals for two consecutive years, and there are countless championship-level teams that cannot reach the finals.

    To comfort and enlighten Zhang Hao, Barkley felt that he had this responsibility. Several of his Lakers had reached the Finals before.In terms of safety, Zhang Hao looked more carefully than them!

    But having such a genius in our team makes the coaching staff and teammates feel a lot more excited!

    Although there are veterans and big bosses to comfort you, it is inevitable that you will be emotionally affected when you lose. This is the finals!

    But we can see that Zhang Hao, the young star who was tied with Barkley for the Lakers' best performance in the first game, was not depressed after losing, and immediately devoted himself seriously to analyzing the game. He discussed with the coaching staff today, and he seemed to be indifferent.  In fact, full of enthusiasm

    With such a young boss leading the teamthe teammates were easily infected, and the frustration was truly put aside!

    There is still one person who feels a bit miserable - I drank three bottles of mineral water the size of oral liquid last night because I was so thirsty and thirsty. How can I be worse than this guy who didn't say a word?

    unfair!

    In fact, Zhang Hao doesn't have to say so much. The coaching staff sees the overall situation more thoroughly than he does. Most of the details he mentioned that the coaching staff didn't notice are related to him personally. After all, the coaching staff and him  Compared with players, the points of attention are always different. Most of the details that he discovered that he needs to pay attention to, he can also adjust independently and adjust based on experience. He has always done that.

    Like the Western Conference Finals, he didn¡¯t say too much when he lost, because the game he lost at that time was not as unwilling and frustrating as last night¡¯s game.

    ??Also, this is the finals!

    besides!  He was already the boss yesterday!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers are actively preparing for the game. Under the leadership of Zhang Hao, they put aside their negative emotions and devote themselves fully.

    In terms of external public opinion, the Bulls have been praised to the sky, and Jordan's personal performance has also been wildly touted.

    The same reason why the Lakers players were frustrated last night was that the Lakers didn't play badly last night, but played very well. The three frontcourts performed crazy, the inside advantage was fully demonstrated, and the outside shooters also seized many opportunities.  But the key ball was lost

    With the Lakers playing so well, the Bulls still won in the end, which cannot be overstated.

    However, one advantage of the Lakers has been affirmed - their away performance is not affected!

    This, the Bulls are experts, the Bulls' away games are almost unaffected, this is their very strong side, the Lakers' away performance in the playoffs this year is also good, and it will be the same in the finals, which can be regarded as proving that they are worthy.  Finals team identity.

    ?????????????? This is a small thing, it sounds very powerful, but if you lose, you lose, and not many people care.

    Just like when people mention the Jazz and the Heat now, they talk about them as if they should be expelled from the NBA. The world of sports competition is a winner-takes-all world. Only the merits of the winners can be remembered by people, and the losers  You will only be remembered for what you did poorly.

    The local fans in Chicago are very happy now. There are many foreign fans coming to Chicago. Some of them come for the Bulls, but more of them come to support the Lakers.

    Before it started, Lakers fans + non-Bulls fans had a huge momentum. Now, Bulls fans want to be as loud as they want. Jordan's jerseys are once again out of stock, not only in Chicago, but also in the Chicago city circle close to Chicago.  The jersey store took off Jordan's jerseys.

    The day passed quickly, and on June 8th, the finals G2 game day between the Lakers and Bulls arrived.

    ¡­¡­

    "Aix, you went all out and played your best performance in the first game but still lost. Do you think you have a chance to win an away game?"

    At noon on the 8th, after completing the pre-match preparations, Zhang Hao accepted an exclusive interview with the local media in Chicago. The questions asked by the reporter were very direct and important, and his attitude and tone were also full of pertinence.

    But this issue is really important. The Lakers have no home court advantage and must win an away game to win the finals.

    Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think we have no chance?"

    The reporter responded decisively: "Everyonemany people are saying that your attempt to win the championship this time can be declared a failure, but you represent the future, and I also think you will win the championship in the future."

    "You think I represent the future? I thought so when I entered the NBA, I am the future, but there is a little difference now. In my opinion, the future has already come!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 306 306.G2 goes to war!  (5 updates of 20,000 words, please vote for me!)

    The atmosphere among the fans in the United Center Arena is even higher tonight!

    The Lakers played so well in G1, but they still won. In response, the fans' trust in Jordan and the team became even stronger, even to the point of blindness!

    When the Lakers players came on the field, Zhang Hao, who was the last one to appear, saw many fans standing up and making shot put moves.

    It¡¯s not what the fans at the Great Western Forum Arena meant by doing this, but Hong Guoguo was mocking Zhang for his last two three-pointers in the last game!

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t react at all. He had already guessed that this would be a point of attack, so he didn¡¯t even watch the news and focused on preparing for the game.

    However, Jordan, who had not yet appeared on the stage, couldn't help but shout out the word starting with "f" when he saw this action of the fans at the scene.

    He also couldn't figure it out. Zhang Hao's mid-range shot was exactly the same as his. Why was his three-pointer like this?

    Wouldn¡¯t it be better to imitate him in three-pointers?

    Blacksmithing is also picturesque!

    And since the three-point line has been shortened, it¡¯s not that difficult to practice

    Whenever I see or hear someone saying that Zhang Hao shoots like him, Jordan wants to have a fight with Zhang Hao!

    ¡­¡­

    After the players from the two teams have finished playing, this time at the beginning, there are not as many pleasantries as there were in G1. There are wins and losses in the finals, and there are grievances.

    For example, Pippen was hit by Zhang Hao and Barkley 9 times the night before yesterday, and scored 7 goals by the two of them It can be as miserable as it is. According to media statistics, Longley scored only 9 points after being hit by O'Neal.  7 times.

    Before this season, Pippen never imagined that he would get the same back-up treatment as Longley, but this season the situation that drove him crazy is here.

    After entering the stadium, the players and coaching staff of both teams actively took advantage of the last time to make preparations. The Lakers lost one game and went from competing for 4 wins in 7 games to competing for 5 wins in 6 games. The difficulty was  Obviously much larger.

    The format of the finals is different from the previous ones. It is a 3-2-3 format. Under this format, the first two games are very important. Once the Bulls defend the first two home games, they will be undefeated on the road.  Even if they lose all three away games, they can still return to their home court to play the last two games. If this is the case, it will be difficult for the Lakers. Even if they defend three home games, they will have to go away in the next two games. They may not be able to win.  .

    ¡°Besides, we may not be able to hold on to three consecutive home games!

    Under such a competition system, a team without home field advantage really has to win one of the first two away games to have the possibility of winning the championship without home field advantage.

    For example, in the 1994 Finals, after the first five games, the Knicks led 3-2, but lost the last two away games and lost the championship in the tiebreaker.

    And the Bulls are very good at playing away games. If the Lakers don't win the first two away games, there is a high probability that things will be bad in the future!

    There is the pressure to win the game, the endless desire for the championship driven by the veterans, and Zhang Hao leading his teammates to adjust their emotions. The Lakers players now have only one thought - to play hard and win!

    The Bulls have been around for a long time. They have been to the Finals four times since the 1990s and won four championships. This is the fifth time they have entered the Finals. They didn't look like they were in great shape just because they won the first game and won the game.  The Lakers can relax in the first game and expect the Lakers to not perform as well in the future.

    On the contrary, they are preparing for the game with the expectation that the Lakers will continue to perform like that!

    ¡­¡­

    At 7 p.m., the second game of the Finals between the Lakers and Bulls started.

    The two teams still started the game. The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Zhang Hao easily knocked the ball away from Longley's head.

    The Lakers attack first!

    After landing, Zhang Hao flexibly avoided Langley's defense, which basically didn't jump, and rushed to the three-point line. Facing the obstacles of Pippen and Ron Harper, Zhang Hao directly raised his arms!

    A strong threat of "block or die" came towards him. Ron Harper refused to let go. Pippen stopped blocking. Zhang Hao rushed to the free throw line, received O'Neal's second pass, took off with one step,  Statue of Liberty slam dunk the ball into the basket!

    "Dunk Master (Silver) is triggered, linked to the Medal: Homecoming (Silver), and the player Zhang Hao's wonderful fast-break dunk in the opening game greatly increased the team's confidence and completely dispelled the last trace of hesitation in the hearts of his teammates. The next three  The morale of the round has been raised to its peak"

    The important thing is not the improvement of morale, but the effect of linking "returning to the heart"!

    Although Zhang Hao relied on some methods to relieve the pressure of his teammates, disperse their frustrations, and bring them confidence, Zhang Hao still feltDan's Kenny Anderson got his first foul. When Jordan was about to catch the ball after bravely blocking Zhang Hao's Ron Harper's pick-and-roll, he directly grabbed Jordan's hand to catch the ball.  , tactical foul!

    Suddenly, when Jordan was running against Zhang Hao, he could always feel the brutality of Zhang Hao's raised arms.

    At this time, Jordan felt that he had really wrongly blamed Pippen for the start. If he was hit by the arm of Zhang Hao who rushed up his mind suddenly thought of the tragic situation of Isaiah Thomas.

    Really, this 20-year-old gentleman who imitated his back-up mid-range shot is as ferocious as Malone!

    When Ma Long was 20 years old, was this guy as cruel as him?

    Not necessarily!  Not even possible!

    Malone weighed 110 kilograms when he entered the NBA. Of course, for Malone's height, he was very strong, but it was far from the brutal weight of 127 to 129 kilograms in his peak years, and it was far behind the current 125 kilograms.

    And Zhang Hao, so thin, is already so cruel

    The number of fouls had not yet reached, but the Bulls still attacked and returned the favor.

    However, the Bulls players were not happy when the Lakers players fouled. They seemed to feel the same feeling as when they played against the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals!

    It seemed easy for them to defeat the Heat 4-1. Of course, they won the Eastern Conference Finals in 5 games and had more time to prepare for the finals. It was indeed a lot easier at that stage, but the process was not easy at all. That round of the series  It is sometimes difficult for the Bulls to have a third player score in double figures during a game!

    That means the pressure is concentrated on Pippen and Jordan.

    Most of the Bulls players are experienced players, and with the sudden changes in the Lakers, they could easily guess what the Lakers were going to do.

    And, it can¡¯t be stopped!

    The Lakers' sudden defensive change, although it failed to change the defense qualitatively, gave the Bulls a little psychological impact at the moment. Ron Harper seized the opportunity to cut in the triangle offense, and O'Neal was attracted by Jordan to close range.  In this case, Ron Harper was actually iron-clad when facing George Lynch's shrinking defense!  His hand shook and he hit the right side of the basket, obviously with too much force!

    This is really rare for Ron Harper, who is famous for his breakthrough and cut-in scoring. With his ability, it is a sure thing to deal with George Lynch under normal circumstances.

    Zhang Hao took back the defensive rebound and had no chance to counterattack. He passed the ball to Kenny Anderson and ran forward.

    The Lakers¡¯ iron-blooded journey has begun!

 Chapter 307 307. The gradually narrowing gap

    The Lakers started a pure iron-blooded style of play, and the Bulls felt very uncomfortable.

    Bulls players don¡¯t think there¡¯s a problem with anyone¡¯s efforts. Except for the Lakers, even when playing the Sonics and Jazz, the Lakers didn¡¯t score too low, and their opponents couldn¡¯t completely limit the Lakers¡¯ offense. This is true for the Bulls.  The team players feel that it is impossible for them to do it, and their impression of the Lakers is that they have the same gorgeous style of play as always.

    But that¡¯s what people do!

    At 6 minutes and 44 seconds of the first quarter, Kenny Anderson broke through to the free throw line and passed it to Zhang Hao who cut from the baseline. Zhang Hao threw a high pass!  O'Neal blocked the chasing Pippen, and George Lynch scored two points with an alley-oop dunk.

    11 to 8, the Lakers took a 3-point lead, and the Bulls called a timeout!

    The Lakers scored 5 points in the first minute, but in the next 5 minutes or so, the Lakers only scored 6 points, which is outrageous!

    In the next five minutes or so, the Lakers basically relied on the hard power of their stars to score. Like George Lynch's alley-oop, Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao, and O'Neal relied on their hard power and their own threats.  Help George Lynch finish the score All George Lynch did was rush in, jump up and press the ball into the basket.

    But after the Bulls were beaten 5-2 in the first minute, they only scored 6 points in the next 5 minutes or so!

    ?Similarly, the Bulls were also forced to change to a style of play that relied purely on star scoring at the beginning.

    When O'Neal returned to the basket, Zhang Hao expanded to defend Jordan. If Jordan really played without the ball, Zhang Hao could defend very well.

    Even if Jordan has the strength and confrontation of a power forward, in previous series with other teams, Jordan often squeezed the opponent's power forward or even a thin center in the low post or close range to score easily after receiving the ball.  The low-post play is actually a center-type low post play But now Zhang Hao no longer suffers a disadvantage against Jordan!

    This move, Silver Fox¡¯s change of moves is really great!

    The main reason is that the opponent's power forward's scoring ability is really poor. They don't need the trouble of Zhang Hao protecting the frame and O'Neal playing power forward. This way their inside defense is stronger. But really speaking, the Bulls' inside line is not worth the effort of the Lakers.  Defend.

    It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t dare to change it at will in G1, because Jordan¡¯s inside scoring ability is strong, Pippen is also the top breakthrough scorer, and Ron Harper averaged 21 points per game in his career before coming to the Bulls, which is impactful.  He is at the small forward level. The season before he came to the Bulls, he averaged 20.1 points per game. Although he averaged 6-7 points per game when he came to the Bulls, it was not that his strength was no longer good, but that his role had changed, and Zen Master was very good at handling it.  Its impact is integrated into the triangle offense

    Facing such an opponent, at the beginning of the finals, we must not change casually.

    But after losing one game, they had to fight for the next away game. Silver Fox chose to give it a try, and he was right!

    He directly gave up O'Neal's singles in regular time and allowed O'Neal to defend with all his strength. Jordan and Pippen relied on Zhang Hao and Doug Christie to defend, successfully forcing Jordan to play singles at the beginning and no longer allowing Jordan to slowly drive the team's operations.  Space and opportunity!

    The Bulls started with 8 points, Jordan scored 5 points, Pippen scored 2 points, and Rodman made 1 of 2 free throws and scored 1 point!

    ¡­¡­

    Jordan felt that the guys on the opposite side were really risking their lives!

    It¡¯s just that when O¡¯Neal plays like this, Jordan doesn¡¯t think it will be easier than the normal play in the last game. The consumption may be even greater than the low singles + defensive power forward play!

    But when he saw O'Neal walking back to the bench to put on the shoulder pressure garment and training clothes, and Barkley taking off his training clothes Jordan understood that the opponent was emboldened!

    Very challenging and interesting!

    On the other hand, the reason why the Silver Fox dared to arrange such a change of formation was related to the fact that one person reached the finals and played more efficiently than O'Neal and Zhang Hao. This person was - Charles, who took off his training clothes and started to twist his butt and move his body -  Sir Buckley!

    There is a reason why Barkley's regret and frustration exploded in the last game. He played 30 minutes in the last game, making 7 of 11 shots and 5 of 6 free throws to get 19 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists!

    The two teams have made adjustments to their playing styles and lineups.

    After the timeout, the Lakers sent a combination of Brian Shaw, Zhang Hao, Magic, Barkley, and Jason Williams.

    The Bulls sent a combination of Erwin Robertson, Ron Harper, Jordan, Kukoc and Rodman.

    Bulls rotation Zhang Hao was also surprised.

    This lineup is the common lineup used in the rotation when the Bulls played the Heat in the second round!

    In other words, the Bulls failed to react immediately to the Lakers' initial change in defensive rhythm.It¡¯s impossible to choose between these three people!

    ¡­¡­

    Playing an advantage, the Lakers enjoy this way of torturing themselves and their opponents.

    The Bulls also thought during the break between quarters that maybe the Lakers had an advantage and would try to launch an attack in the second quarter, but the Lakers played so resolutely!

    When both Jordan and Pippen were able to play a complete season and run into the team, in the past seven years, excluding the 1994 and 1995 playoffs, this was the 20th series that the Bulls had led the team to play together.

    None of the other 19 series opponents are as special as the Lakers in front of us!

    Strong teams that can reach the finals always have a very strong advantage. When opportunities arise, those teams always want to rely on their strongest advantage to expand their advantage, but instead because of their advantage  It was too distinctive and not truly invincible, so it was targeted and defeated by the stronger Bulls.

    The Lakers, on the other hand, really were not constrained by the temptation to widen the point difference in one fell swoop. They still played steadily and steadily. In the first half of the second quarter, they sent out Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch,  The combination of Barkley and O'Neal is defensive, confrontational, and an iron-blooded style of play.

    Zhang Hao took a rest for more than 4 minutes to replace Barkley. When he was away, the Bulls failed to overtake or reverse the score. When he was on, they failed to widen the point difference.

    Because the players from both teams played so well on the court!

    Players on both sides are fully committed, trying to seize every hard-won scoring opportunity. If there is a bad opportunity, they will go all out in singles and put the damn ball into the basket as much as possible.

    Both sides are constantly launching attacks. When one side launches an attack, the other side will also follow up and increase their efforts. They do not want to be the passive one.

    After halftime, the Lakers led the Bulls by 1 point 44 to 43 entering the halftime break!

    ¡­¡­

    The score was tight and the situation was tense. During the halftime break, the defense of the two teams was recognized by the commentators of major TV stations. Although the offensive performance seemed to have a low score, the evaluation was not low either!

    ABC Sports commentator Walter Davis, a famous commentator who is known for his neutrality and has extensive experience as a player from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, gave a very accurate evaluation - "The gap between the two teams' regular playing styles  After being shrunk by the Lakers.¡±

    The g1 Lakers played very unrestrainedly, full of vigor, and also performed explosively, but it was not enough to completely defeat the Bulls, and it would also give the Bulls a chance to explode. In the end, the Bulls successfully came back.

    But this time is different, this time the Lakers control the situation very stably!

    "However, Walter Davis also said that with this style of play, the performance is stable. The Lakers' progress has exceeded expectations, and he sees more possibilities for the Lakers.

    ??Among them, Silver Fox¡¯s player transfer, rotation arrangements, and defensive adjustments are all excellent.

    But what should we do in the third quarter?  The Lakers' style of play has no breaking point!

    This is why many TV commentators feel that although the Lakers performed well, the Bulls may have to harvest the game.

    The Bulls have the highest third-quarter point differential in the league!

    Not only in the regular season, but also in the playoffs. So far in the playoffs this season, the Bulls have won by an average of 11 points per game in the third quarter!  The record is a terrible 12 wins and 1 loss!

    Even when playing the Heat, the Bulls still managed to win by an average of 7 points in the third quarter of 5 games!

    As these professional commentators expected, after the halftime break and the start of the second half, the Bulls really started to go on a rampage!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOut of the half-time confrontation with the opponent, we are also trying to figure out the opponent's playing strategy, defensive methods, and find ways to target tonight's game.

    In this regard, the Bulls have been too experienced in the past two years. They can successfully find a way to crush the performance in the third quarter almost every time, and most of the time the execution is in place.

    The same goes for tonight!

    At the beginning of the third quarter, the Bulls went on a 7-3 run in 2 minutes and 47 seconds!

    50 to 47, the Bulls overtook the Lakers by 3 points from the start!

 Chapter 308 308. The game I love

    At 2 minutes and 47 seconds, the Lakers only relied on Wilkins, who came on the bench, to shoot a three-pointer. Rodman unexpectedly caused a defensive foul. Wilkins tried to knock Rodman away and then shoot.  Rodman managed to dodge the ball when he caught the ball, but Rodman, who flew past Wilkins, pulled Wilkins with his hand when Wilkins shot, and Wilkins shot.  Was destroyed, went to the free throw line and made all 3 free throws.

    Except for these 3 points, there are no goals in sports games and no other scores!

    The Heat often encounter a similar situation. They relied on defense to compete with the Bulls, but were defeated by the Bulls in the third quarter.

    In nearly 3 minutes, the Bulls scored 7 points. To be honest, it was not a particularly strong score, but when both sides had difficulty scoring, the Bulls were able to have this league-average offensive performance because they showed their super ability.

    It was time for the Lakers to attack again, and Barkley's baseline catch and turnaround throw missed Just when people thought the Lakers' style of play might collapse tonight, at 2 minutes and 58 seconds, Zhang Hao jumped up from the crowd with his left arm.  Against the open arm of Luke Longley who took off, he pressed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

    Judy Buechler couldn't stop him, so he pulled Zhang Hao and it was a foul!

    The referee whistle blows, Zhang Hao¡¯s goal is valid, and there will be an additional penalty!

    With Zhang Hao¡¯s extra free throw, 50 to 50, the Lakers tied the score!

    When Zhang Hao made a free throw and scored 19 points on the big screen and in the live broadcast, people discovered that he didn't seem to have much presence before, and was replaced by Barkley and O'Neal and even Kenny Anderson and George Lynch.  Zhang Hao, who was overwhelmed by the outstanding performance of others, actually already scored 19 points!

    Jordan only had 20 points!

    Quietly, Zhang Hao's personal score has been locked with Jordan's, relying on this amazing make-up dunk, he began to show his fangs!

    The highest scorer for the Lakers in the first half was not Barkley, Kenny Anderson, or George Lynch who had the most cake, but Zhang Hao with 16 points in the half!

    But in the first half, many members of the Lakers played very actively. Zhang Hao had almost no singles and almost no chance to counterattack. He just took shots after catching the ball. Most of the time, he received the ball and passed it out This led to the halftime break.  , the commentators also discussed the Lakers players who were active tonight and did not talk much about him.

    The players on the field were very keen on Zhang Hao's outstanding performance, so the Bulls never relaxed their defense on him, and his style of play was indeed not conspicuous enough. Fans have now discovered that Zhang Hao's performance is not inferior to Barkley or O'Neal at all.  , Kenny Anderson!

    This make-up dunk was a dunk that boosted the morale of the Lakers. The Bulls came back from the halftime break with an explosive performance on both offense and defense. They were indeed somewhat frustrated.

    The most frightening thing about the Bulls in the third quarter is not the score increase itself after half-time observation, half-time analysis and adjustments, but the sense of oppression and the impression that accumulated performance brings to the opponent.

    Now, the Bulls rely on their past performance to give their opponents a feeling - if they can't stop the Bulls in the third quarter, they will lose. This is dominance!

    When Zhang Hao made a free throw and retreated, he rarely shouted: "Defend well!"

    Completing such a dunk boosts morale, and with the bonus of "Dunk Master", Zhang Hao rarely speaks on the court, making his teammates feel his urgency and focusing all the attention that was originally a little distracted!

    The current situation is the same as Zhang Hao was forced to play in O'Neal's coat in the middle of the third quarter of the last game. He needs a point to reverse the rhythm that has been controlled by the Bulls.

    Last time, Zhang Hao chose to start the O'Neal style of play because he had no choice at the time.

    But this time is different. Silver Fox has made so many preparations to prepare for this moment!

    This time, the Lakers have brought up the confrontation, and the defensive effect has also been highlighted. Otherwise, the Lakers did not score 1 point in nearly 3 minutes, and the Bulls would not have only scored 7 points. The Bulls would have no chance to play the previous game.  The possibility of a runaway performance in the third quarter.

    The Lakers only need to hold on and hold on to the score. They don¡¯t have to start the endless back-up mode so early, and their play style won¡¯t become rigid so quickly.

    The Bulls did not stop their attack just because Zhang Hao tied the score with a make-up dunk. Obviously, the Bulls' performance in the third quarter had a huge advantage, but the Lakers chose to continue to strengthen their defense.

    The combination of Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Barkley, and Zhang Hao tried their best to compete with the Bulls. Barkley was the main attacker, and Zhang Hao took over the offense when necessary.

    At 6 minutes and 44 seconds of the third quarter, the Bulls opened the point difference to 4 points. Zhang Hao came out to catch the ball and hit the three-pointer in front of the defense, scoring the second goal of the quarter.The players on the court applauded.

    When the Lakers started to attack, the boos came again. The applause was just applause for the players of the two teams who played a wonderful game.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Byron Scott, George Lynch, Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    The Bulls sent a combination of Ervin Robertson, Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc and Longley.

    At this time, the two teams were making changes on the spot.

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, and Longley wanted to go around, but Kenny Anderson played the ball very quickly. His precise and fast through pass passed Pippen, and O'Neal received it on the left side of the three-second zone.  After receiving the ball, Pippen quickly chased the ball. Zhang Hao cut in from the middle, made a reasonable dash outside the area, received a pass from O'Neal, and made a quick throw!

    With his steady field control ability, bold judgment, and excellent commanding ability, his teammates believed in Kenny Anderson, and Kenny Anderson also responded well and launched a quick attack.

    ? 71 to 70, the Lakers came up in the fourth quarter and took the lead!

    Immediately after the Bulls' Kukoc missed a three-pointer, but looking back, the Lakers failed to open the score. Jordan's contraction interfered with O'Neal's turn and blocked Longley's throw. Ervin Robertson was very smart.  Protect the defensive rebound before Zhang Hao rushes into position.

    Every ball must be fought for, and every player is trying their best. At this moment, both teams are trying to seize every opportunity they should seize on both offense and defense.

    The key quarter still relies on key players. At 3 minutes and 22 seconds of the fourth quarter, after Barkley replaced O'Neal, everyone thought that the Bulls might be able to take the lead while O'Neal was resting. But as soon as Barkley came on, he  Taking advantage of Zhang Hao's receiving the ball and attracting a double attack, he cut in and received Zhang Hao's pass, knocking Pippen away and smashing the ball into the basket.

    Looking back, the Bulls missed, and the Lakers made a rare counterattack. Barkley and Zhang Hao entered the inside. Barkley caught the ball and passed it back to Kenny Anderson for a three-pointer.

    Barkley came up with a dunk and an assist, helping the Lakers go from being 2 points behind to being 2 points ahead!

    When it came to the Bulls' offense, Jordan was also very good. Under heavy pressure, he broke into the paint with the ball in singles. Facing Zhang Hao's extremely quick bottom line defense and the pursuit of George Lynch's defense, the bottom line was close to more than 45 degrees.  He hit a turnaround jumper, tied the score at 82, and also caused a foul by George Lynch!

    However, the situation on the court suddenly changed, and Jordan¡¯s free throws were perfect!

    Zhang Hao jumped out when the ball hit the basket. Although Rodman had been replaced at the same time as Barkley, Zhang Hao still chose to believe in Barkley.

    The trust was rewarded. Barkley grabbed the defensive rebound and pushed forward himself. He passed the ball to Kenny Anderson on the way. Kenny Anderson received the ball outside the three-point line and swung the ball forward without stopping!

    At this time, Jordan, who was chasing Zhang Hao, was about to explode!

    The tallest player in the game is getting faster and faster on counterattacks!  After passing the center circle, Jordan could no longer catch up with Zhang Hao!

    At the end of the third quarter, Zhang Hao sucked his jersey, and the time stuck happened to be when he had returned to his physical strength before the start of the second half. Now, "Ride Alone" is triggered at full power, and he still has a speed exceeding 95 ratings!

    Kenny Anderson's passing is really stable. He has been playing for a year. I don't know how many times he has practiced in private and cooperated countless times on the court. Kenny Anderson's quarterback-style passing is just accurate.  Speed, no less than the magician!

    When Zhang Hao rushed to the free throw line and was about to take a step forward, the ball happened to fall. After receiving the ball, he stepped out, jumped, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

    Jordan finally tied the score again with a one-on-two super fadeaway. As a result, he took the lead by two points purely due to his talent!

 Chapter 309 309. Basketball God Michael Jordan!

    It is really the legendary saying that if you have talent, you can do whatever you want.

    What skills does Zhang Hao have in counterattacking this time?

    Absolutely not!  Just fast!

    But the world of sports competition is like this, and Jordan also has a terrifying talent that only one among hundreds of millions has.

    When encountering a counterattack like Zhang Hao's, unless the entire team is ready to retreat, has excellent defensive cooperation, and limits it from the source, it will be too difficult for Zhang Hao to really rush him.

    With this ball scored, Zhang Hao¡¯s personal score increased to 33 points!

    84 to 82, the Lakers also led by 2 points again, and the Bulls called a timeout!

    It should have been 1 point ahead, but now it was 2 points behind. Jordan was really a little bit angry at this time.

    Fortunately, the Zen master¡¯s magic stick appearance is very good at deceiving people, much better than chicken soup.

    "Chicken Soup" still has to hold back words that sound reasonable. The Zen master only needs to have no fluctuations in his expression.

    The Bulls, who had stabilized their military morale, were not affected after returning from the timeout and continued to work hard to seize opportunities.

    The morale of the Lakers has increased. Barkley leads the team, Zhang Hao assists, Kenny Anderson controls the court, and George Lynch and Doug Christie come together to take charge of outside defense.

    After a 3-4 run, as Pippen hit a layup, the score was 87-86, the Lakers called a timeout, and the Silver Fox decided to make a bigger move.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s fierce and skillful play tonight gave the Silver Foxes more options, so until now, with the Bulls performing so well, they are still 1 point ahead.

    In the first three quarters, we didn¡¯t expect to win the game, but with more than 3 minutes left, we must have an idea!

    The combination of Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Barkley and O'Neal is on the court!

    On the Bulls side, the strongest combination of Ron Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and Longley is also on the board.

    After the timeout, the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao sent the ball to Brian Shaw, and then ran to the left baseline of the three-second zone.

    Pippen followed him expressionlessly. When he saw these three damned guys playing together, he knew something was going to happen to him.

    Sure enough, Zhang Hao reached the middle distance of the left baseline and immediately turned around to block Pippen. Brian Xiao immediately passed the ball over.

    Zhang Hao learned O'Neal's power-generating technique very well, mainly because he used the O'Neal card twice, and the learning effect after the experience was very good!

    Zhang Hao held Pippen firmly with his left arm, and caught the ball with his right hand in a leaping posture. After receiving the ball, his center of gravity sank and he slapped the ball toward the floor. When the ball bounced up and his hand went to catch the ball, he just dropped his center of gravity and landed on the ground.  Bend your knees use your strength!  Zhang Hao quickly slammed into Pippen!

    Jordan didn¡¯t even have time to double attack. Zhang Hao used O¡¯Neal¡¯s little trick this time, and it was faster than when he used the O¡¯Neal card!

    Pippen first felt the suffocation as if his chest had been hit by a cow, and then felt his lower body rising into the air Who made his upper body press tightly against Zhang Hao?

    As soon as he landed, Pippen was turned around by Zhang Hao!

    "Deep Step (Bronze)" was triggered. After turning around, Zhang Hao's speed was +3. He started faster than Langley expected inside. Zhang Hao stepped into the left sideline of the three-second zone and made a flying throw, which just escaped Langley's defense.  hand, the throw hit!

    "The continuous effect of "Restricted Area Hegemony (Bronze)", Zhang Hao is almost guaranteed to take shots within a radius of nearly one meter around the basket as long as there is no confrontation!

    When it came to the Bulls' offense, the Bulls were stable at the critical moment. Jordan scored the ball in a single and Ron Harper hit a jumper from close range.

    This shot was not easy. The Bulls used the triangle offense to take O'Neal out from the baseline to flank Jordan. Jordan passed the ball from the baseline to Ron Harper on the other side of the baseline for a close jumper. It was not easy.

    But looking back, Barkley beat Pippen from close range and turned around to cut the baseline for a backhand layup, easily!

    The Lakers are leading by 3 points again, leading 91 to 88!

    Is it safe to play endless backs against the Bulls?  Unstable!  The Silver Foxes are not sure whether they can win, but at this time, this is the best way. This is the way they will definitely be effective offensively against any team, but the specific situation depends on whether the opponent is strong, and the Bulls  It's very strong, so it's unstable.

    But as long as O'Neal maintains the threat and Zhang Hao and Barkley have a high success rate in back-up play, this lineup's offense will be unstoppable!

    On the defensive end, the Silver Fox has also tried its best to make up for it. Now, the Silver Fox depends on which side can sustain the final scoring stability.

    If the Lakers keep holding on, they will win. If they lose, there is nothing they can do about it. The situation tonight is already very difficult.

    At this moment, an accident happenedI tried hard in that round to see if I could interrupt the Bulls' offensive rhythm. After I succeeded, I didn't do it again.

    Then, Jordan began to retaliate, and then, the Lakers retaliated

    The shark-killing battle is coming!

    Rodman is also really awesome. He missed 4 free throws in a row before, and this time he missed two free throws again!

    Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound, and immediately, O'Neal was hugged by Ron Harper

    The fans at the scene were stunned!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s intentional foul against Rodman did not affect the smoothness of the entire game, and the game went on smoothly.

    This time O¡¯Neal and Rodman stepped to the free throw line consecutively, and the game suddenly came to a standstill!

    but!

    It¡¯s not the Lakers players who are anxious, because they are leading, the fans and the Bulls are even more anxious!

    O¡¯Neal usually can shoot free throws at critical moments, but now he has a muscle strain in his shoulder and has been fighting for 30 minutes. The time when Jordan pulled his arm was also affected, and he really couldn¡¯t make the free throw!

    Rodman¡¯s situation was similar, he couldn¡¯t make any free throws anyway.

    In the past, the game time was moving forward steadily. Now, it moves for two seconds and then stops. The game is almost frozen!

    But the Lakers are leading the two men 93 to 91. The situation on both sides is completely different!  No free throws were missed and the Lakers had the advantage!

    After the Bulls made three shots, they actually didn¡¯t want to make any more shots. Although the Lakers had the advantage, they didn¡¯t want to make any more shots. God knows if the opponent would be lucky enough to make two free throws.

    "However, neither side dared to stop. The shark-cutting had already begun. Whichever side did not cut the shark would be at a greater disadvantage.

    At this time, everyone on both teams was cursing the same person in their hearts - a certain Lakers high school rookie who did not want to be named wearing the No. 8 jersey.

    Finally, Zen Master couldn't help it anymore. After starting the exchange mode, O'Neal made 1 of 8 free throws and Rodman made 1 of 6 free throws. In the entire fourth quarter, after making 1 of 10 free throws, Rodman grabbed the rebound of O'Neal's missed free throw.  When he did, he immediately called a timeout.

    There are 1 minute and 51 seconds left. At this time, the league has not yet introduced the "special penalty rules for off-ball fouls" in the last two minutes. As this slowly wears off, the Lakers' advantage will become greater and greater!

    ¡­¡­

    With a tacit understanding, the head coaches of both teams made personnel adjustments during the timeout.

    On the Lakers side, Silver Fox could only replace O'Neal with more than two minutes left. On the Bulls side, Jackson also replaced Rodman, and the best defensive players of both teams were replaced.  .

    The Bulls sent a combination of Ervin Robertson, Ron Harper, Jordan, Pippen, and Kukoc.

    At this time, Jackson chose to play offense. He had no choice but to fall behind. Defense + Jordan singles, without Rodman, was quite embarrassing.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Barkley, and Zhang Hao.

    The Silver Fox gritted his teeth and held on. If Rodman could score three or four free throws in six attempts, he would have called a timeout long ago. Fortunately, he held on and let the Bulls call a timeout.

    With less than two minutes left, 94 to 92, with this score, the coaches on both sides could only pray that the players on the court could make the ball.

    After the timeout, the Bulls attack.

    After re-entering the game, time suddenly passed very quickly, but the constant slashing of sharks affected the players of both teams. Ervin Robertson was sent to shoot a key three-pointer. He had a chance, but there was no open space.  Throw in.

    On the Lakers¡¯ side, George Lynch¡¯s close-range throws are also great!  Jordan moved in to protect the defensive rebound!

    There are 1 minute and 12 seconds left on the clock. At this time, it¡¯s up to the superstars, and Jordan is the superstar among superstars!

    Ron Harper advanced to the frontcourt and then lobbed it to Jordan. It was very simple for Jordan to get the ball. He could back up high, trap people, and just catch the ball. No early flanking was allowed. It was not difficult for the star to catch the ball at the critical moment.

    After Jordan received the ball, George Lynch immediately flanked him and left Ron Harper open. Jordan did not pass the ball to Ron Harper, who cut from the baseline and once again chose to believe in himself.

    There is a reason why Jackson is so confident about his strongest shooting guard. Jordan messed up an opportunity before, but this time he made up for it. He turned over and hit a long two-pointer while facing the double attack!

    94 to 94!  At the critical moment, Jordan performed as well as ever and tied the score!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 310 310. Killing time!  (4 updates and 16,000 words, please vote for me!)

    One side started to get started, and the other side started to flow smoothly. When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao decisively dropped down low to hit Pippen with his back, and Kukoc and Jordan shrank in to attack Pippen.

    This contraction also has the idea of ??blocking the space under the basket, preventing Barkley or George Lynch from cutting in and scoring!

    Height and wingspan, Zhang Hao's advantages in this aspect played a big role at this time. He distributed the ball to Barkley in the mid-range on the right side of the three-second zone during the double attack.

    Barkley did not rush in to cover the defense, but took a mid-range shot after catching the ball

    Jordan scored a key goal, and another veteran superstar from the 1984 class also scored a key goal!

    96 to 94, the Lakers once again took a two-point lead!

    Previously, the role players on both sides failed to make shots when they had the opportunity. As expected, this time they still have to rely on superstars. Both Jordan and Barkley proved at the last moment that their superstar titles are not for nothing.

    With 31 seconds left on the clock, the Bulls still played Jordan on the back, and Jordan still caught the ball in the same positionand then

    Zhang Hao made a save from the inside this time, but it was all in vain. Jordan did not let Zhang Hao test whether Barkley could block the defense of several players from the other side. Jordan's turnaround jump shot went in again!

    After scoring 4 points in a row at the critical moment, Jordan's personal score increased to 35 points, helping the Bulls tie the score 96-96. With 17 seconds left, the Lakers called a timeout!

    ¡­¡­

    The last one paused.

    In this game, both teams actually used up all their timeouts.

    This also means that both teams have really run out of ammunition and food and can only rely on the individual abilities of their stars.

    Jordan's personal ability is undoubtedly the strongest in the game. Barkley, O'Neal, Wilkins Even Magic can't deny this fact. Jordan may even be the strongest player in history, as the Chicago media said.  , after all, Zhang Erwan¡¯s 7 scoring records were all broken by Jordan.

    Sure enough, at the last moment, it was Jordan who single-handedly tied the score!

    There are 17 seconds left. If it is really dragged into overtime, look at Jordan playing the whole game at this time

    At the beginning, Jordan¡¯s shooting percentage was 7 of 12, which was extremely efficient. Later, when the score increased to 31 points, it was only 11 of 25. However, Jordan scored two goals in a row at the last moment!

    The biggest limitation of the Lakers' style of play in the final quarter is physical strength. Zhang Hao and Barkley are very tired. O'Neal's side is relatively better, but they can't hit the last attack. The opponent will definitely continue to foul If it is delayed until overtime  During the game, O'Neal was not afraid of being fouled at first, but Kenny Anderson and Barkley were troubled.

    Now Kenny Anderson and Barkley can't play much. Barkley's mid-range shot between Jordan's two shots was really his last breath tonight.

    Another team, Jordan scored two goals to tie the score in the last minute or so. With 17 seconds left, they might have been desperate, they might have been dragged into overtime, and the final attack might have ended.  That's a very complicated tactic for easier shooting opportunities.

    But on the Lakers side, everyone looked at the 20-year-old young man who was moving his body calmly and with extremely bright eyes

    Don¡¯t be afraid!

    Last season in the regular season, Zhang Hao scored 6 buzzer-beaters, 1 buzzer-beater in the All-Star Game, and 1 buzzer-beater in the playoffs; this season there are fewer buzzer-beaters, 2 in the regular season, but this is because he did not appear like last season.  With so many winning opportunities, the regular season did not focus on improving the record without worrying about anything like last season. This year, the game was more relaxed, and in the playoffs, Zhang Hao had two winning games!

    The opponents were the SuperSonics and the Jazz, two championship teams. The game that beat the Jazz was the series-winning goal!

    Seeing Zhang Hao reach the critical moment, his whole body seemed to be lighter, and all the previous fatigue seemed to be wiped away by the excitement of taking the last shot

    The teammates are now really just like Jordan thought, blindly worshiping Zhang Hao's key goals!  Even O'Neal, if asked at this time how to play the last attack, he would say - give the ball to that kid, he will lead us to victory.

    At this time, major TV stations were also broadcasting highlights of Zhang Hao¡¯s killer games.

    In the playoffs, although there is no salary and only a slight increase in the league's season bonus pool after promotion, all stars want to play in the playoffs and perform well in the playoffs.

    Before, not so many people knew that Zhang Hao had killed so many times. Now, watching Zhang Hao has not finished playing in the past two seasons, it has already been killed 12 times, up to 66.7%of the hit rate 

    ? 12 of 18 shots, the winning goal in the final attack!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­; Zhang Hao received the ball and dribbled sideways. Jordan quickly moved sideways to prevent Zhang Hao from breaking through. Zhang Hao then turned his back to the basket and took a step forward. He grabbed the ball while stepping out Jordan was too familiar with this scene. It was him.  Teach Zhang Hao how to lock the basket, get space, and thenturn over!

    Jordan immediately pressed forward

    ¡°The king of turn-over jump shots (gold) is triggered, and the player Zhang Hao who wears this turn-over jump shot has a bounce +5"

    It failed to trigger the effect of ignoring shooting interference with a probability of 13.

    But, this is not important anymore

    "Beheading (gold) triggers"

    When Zhang Hao turned over and made a shooting motion, that feeling of reaching the best condition in training came!

    It¡¯s time to kill!

    When he threw the ball, Zhang Hao felt that this moment was extremely wonderful

    The boos, noise, abuse, and ridicule of the fans at the scene this moment is like a perfect BGM.

    When the ball was falling, Zhang Hao was hit by Jordan who rushed up. The referee blew the whistle and stopped the clock. There were 1.8 seconds left

    Jordan was not given the opportunity to go crazy and actually committed a foul at this time. This was not what he wanted to go crazy about. When he saw Zhang Hao falling to the floor with his eyes closed and a smile on his face, he knew it was over.

    Indeed!  The Lakers players burst into violent cheers!

    And the boos at the scene were frozen at this moment and turned into waves of whines!

    The referee confirmed that Zhang Hao's mid-range shot was valid, Jordan committed a defensive foul, and the goal was valid and an additional penalty was required!

    There are 1.8 seconds left. If Zhang Hao fails to make the shot, even if Zhang Hao makes two free throws, the Bulls theoretically still have the possibility of directly sending a long pass to the frontcourt to complete the fast break Although it is a theory, but  This is the finals, where miracles are born.

    But Zhang Hao made the shot, and those 1.8 seconds were equivalent to nothing!

    If Zhang Hao hits the extra free throw, the Lakers will lead by 3 points, and the Bulls will have to make a three-pointer to tie.

    From the backcourt to the scene, it is already difficult to catch the ball. There will definitely be interference from the opponent. If it is a fast break layup, it is still possible, but if it is a three-pointer 1.8 seconds This is true, Lei  Maybe Gill Miller can do it?

    Moreover, from the perspective of the Bulls players, the opponent will never even give them the theoretical last chance to attack!

    Zhang Hao, who was pulled up by his teammates, stepped onto the free throw line. At this time, he had no physical limitations and felt hot Letting himself calm down on the surface will have an impact on his psychology after forming a habit. Just like psychological fluctuations can affect his expression, Zhang Hao  Taking a deep breath, the excitement of hitting the crucial mid-range shot was suppressed none of it mattered anymore.

    After receiving the ball from the referee, Zhang Hao did not shoot immediately and closed his eyes

    In this game, Zhang Hao understood one thing - he doesn¡¯t need to point at himself for everything!

    Just like how he felt after the Western Conference Finals, he was extremely happy to have such a group of teammates!

    Without this group of people, at this stage of his career, it would be impossible to touch the floor of the Finals, not even the Western Conference Finals!

    Yes, Zhang Hao¡¯s calm expression makes everyone want to hit him, he is excited.

    The referees were urging him to get off work. Zhang Hao opened his eyes, turned his head and said to Jordan on the right side of the three-second zone: "Mr. Jordan, you have to believe in the light!"

    After Zhang Hao said this, he raised the ball with both hands and followed an action he learned while watching short videos in his previous life. Starting from his heels, he exerted force from his heels, threw out a wave with his slender body, and smashed the ball towards the basket with all his strength with both hands

    Vigorously miracle!

    When the Bulls players saw Zhang Hao raising the ball with both hands, they immediately cursed!

    Indeed!  This guy never thought of giving them a chance for 1.8 seconds!

    The referee under the basket ran away when Zhang Hao's body exerted force in waves. Fortunately, Zhang Hao had good control of the ball and hit the basket accurately, but he didn't control the direction well The ball hit the basket.  The basket bounced toward the right sideline!

    At this time, no one reached out to grab the ball. Jordan didn¡¯t even grab it. What would happen if he did?  The countdown had already started when the ball hit the basket. When I touched the ball, I guess the final whistle sounded before it even hit the ground.

    And, if you touch this ball your fingers will break!

    While the ball was still flying, the long whistle sounded to end the game. Fans outside the right sideline fled in all directions. The ball hit a chair with a bang, and the chair was almost knocked over by the ball!  Keep shaking!

    This free throw, if the final whistle had not sounded, the referee would have given a technical foul immediately!

    Watching Zhang Hao walk to the bench after the "free throw" was completed, the fans at the scene who came to their senses began to curse crazily. Although the referee was in pain, he could only confirm the result of the game

    The Bulls players were all stunned by Zhang Hao¡¯s last move!  The Lakers players who reacted first began to celebrate wildly amid the boos and curses of the fans at the scene!

    Won!  98 to 96, Zhang Hao once again beat Jordan, and the Lakers tied the score at 1-1!

 Chapter 311 311. Our finals!  (Please vote for the 18,000-word chapter!)

    The Lakers really won!

    Zhang Hao had 35 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, Barkley had 17 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, O'Neal had 16 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, Kenny Anderson had 10 points and 7 assists, and Doug Christie had 11  Points 5 Lakers players scored in double figures, Zhang Hao hit the winning mid-range shot in the finals another head-on victory over Jordan!

    98 to 96, the Lakers tied with the Bulls 1-1 on the road!

    The picture that accompanied the news headlines after the game showed Zhang Hao hitting Jordan in a wave shape and about to throw it out, his body stretched like a bow.

    Although Zhang Hao wanted to hit someone when he saw the picture the next morning, he was quite satisfied with the text - the gentleman killed the game again!

    In the pre-game interview at noon yesterday, what he said to the Chicago media went viral!

    The future is coming!

    Last night, the Lakers' four true All-Star players each did what they should do. Barkley attacked + assisted Kenny Anderson to connect the team, O'Neal defended + necessary singles scoring + support, Kenny  -Anderson controls the team's ball distribution + directs the offense, Zhang Hao scores

    Except for these four stars + Doug Christie, the others really scored less, but the Silver Foxes maximized the use of the strength of the four stars through adjustments to rotation and tactical focus!

    It seems that the data of the four players are very different, but when the commentator analyzed it after the game, he believed that the four major stars are indispensable!

    In this game, the characteristics of the four major stars have been maximized, and even in the arrangement of role players, the mistakes can be ignored!

    Silver Fox's coaching in this game received very high recognition Although he was already very recognized, when he led a 40-42 team to the finals, he was the only one in NBA history, except for that team  As for the Rockets, no team can reach that far with a negative net win record, let alone the finals. It is very rare to reach the second round with such a record.

    The hottest news is that Zhang Hao defeated Jordan.

    4 times!

    For the fourth time, Jordan defended Zhang Hao alone at a critical moment and was killed!

    Some media are making fun of Jordan as to why he can¡¯t think about it so much and rushes to guard Zhang Hao¡¯s key ball at the critical moment

    Although the Bulls really had no choice at the time, Doug Christie performed well in shooting that night, Kenny Anderson had just received a ball from Barkley and scored a three-pointer, Jason Williams and Barkley rushed to the basket  Under the circumstances at the time, Jordan actually made a very courageous and responsible choice.

    He could have used Pippen as a background player again, but he chose to shoulder the responsibility of last-ditch defense.

    It¡¯s just that Jordan didn¡¯t do it.

    There was also the foul committed by Jordan during his final defense. Zhang Hao made the shot with 1.8 seconds left. Although there was little hope, the Bulls had no timeout at that time, but if Jordan did not foul, at least he would still have a chance to throw the ball upfield.  Possibility of fast break.

    In this game, Jordan became the most responsible person.

    Some little things during the game are also very interesting. The few rounds when O'Neal and Rodman were hacked by each other, and their expressions as if they had eaten something dirty when shooting free throws, were broadcast by the sports news of major TV stations.

    ¡­¡­

    At noon on June 9, Zhang Hao and his family returned to Los Angeles on a team chartered flight.

    When I got home, I received a call from Henry Thomas

    At the end of last night, his "free throw" that smashed the basket and killed the Bulls' hope in the last 1.8 seconds was charged with a technical foul.

    It¡¯s true that there are cases of deliberately missing penalties and delaying time, but Zhang Hao really went too far and was fined 500 US dollars.

    This is not important. What is important is another rule announced by the league at a regular press conference this morning - it is prohibited to change jersey numbers in the middle of the game. If a player changes his jersey number in the middle of the game, the referee must prohibit the player from appearing on the field again.

    Furthermore, there have been substantial rule changes.

    The league stipulates that starting from the next game, each team must prepare at least two sets of jerseys for each player. In addition, the technical desk officials must prepare unnumbered jerseys and stickers for both sides of the game as backup.

    Because when the Lakers complained to the league about Zhang Hao's fine, they said that Zhang Hao's jersey was torn and there was no spare.

    This is just a regular appeal. For almost any penalty, the team will appeal after the game. It would be better if the fine can be reduced. These days, there are still many players with very low salaries.

    For example, a player who signed a 10-day short contract will be paid more than 1,100 U.S. dollars for a game, and a technical penalty of 500 will be fined. If he is ejected for two technical fouls he will have no income.After being blocked by Kenny Anderson, Magic was hugged and the Bulls began to commit tactical fouls.

    ? 41 secondsI don¡¯t want to give up!

    In addition to wanting to win the championship immediately, there is also the fact that if we lose, we will be dragged to the tiebreaker!

    Although we are still playing at home, even if we lose this game, we will not be eliminated, but from a 3-1 lead to a 3-3 tie Even the Bulls' mentality will collapse!

    However, after the tactical foul, the Bulls' expectations did not come true Magician's smile appeared on the free throw line!

    Magic played 11 minutes before tonight, got 1 steal, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He played a good role in squatting under the basket with Barkley and Zhang Hao. At the last moment, he went to the free throw line and made two free throws, scoring a record breaking score.  At the same time, it also helped the Lakers expand their lead to 6 points, leading 104 to 98!

    There is no chance for the Bulls to make a comeback by relying on tactical fouls!

    In the last 37 seconds, there were no surprises. Only Rodman of the Bulls took advantage of the absence of O'Neal, who had gone crazy with rebounds in these two games, to score a tip-in. The Bulls' three-pointer between Steve Kerr and Kukoc at the last moment  No points were scored, and Magic made all four of his last free throws. The Lakers defeated the Bulls 106-100 away from home and won G6. After falling behind 1-3, they tied the score at 3-3!

    The moment the final whistle sounded, the excitement that the Lakers had suppressed for a long time and did not dare to release before the game was over was released at this moment!

    There is still one game left, but the Lakers players are celebrating like they have won the championship!

    Jason Williams did not play tonight due to various reasons, but he still shouted loudly with Ben Wallace in a suit, "We are here in the final stage of the Finals!"

    Previously, the scene of Barkley secretly crying in the bathroom was revealed by a source.

    There is always an evil side in this world. Of course, this is the case in sports competitions. The cry of the loser will inevitably be ridiculed.

    This time, Barkley didn¡¯t hide in the bathroom and cried. When the final whistle sounded, watching the 3-3 score on the big screen, Barkley hugged Byron Scott and cried bitterly!

    ¡°I didn¡¯t give up in desperate situations, endured the emotions that were on the verge of collapse, and smiled like a magician But who can know the pressure in my heart?

    Finally, he worked so hard and, together with a group of teammates who also worked extremely hard, evened the score!

    Barkley can no longer control his emotions!  The pressure is released at this moment!

    Jerome Kersey, Wilkinsmany veterans from the 1980s who watched the Lakers being defeated by the Lakers were moved at this moment.

    They couldn't help but come up with an idea - at that time, were we as hardworking as Barkley?  Have we really tried our best?

    For example, giving up 45 million in three years to go to the Lakers?  For example, you still don¡¯t give up when you reach a desperate situation?  Did they really do it like Barkley did?  Has this Lakers team done this?

    Even the Bulls players, who had all kinds of negative emotions after losing, had a lot of complicated emotions when they saw this scene It's just that they won't sympathize with the stars who didn't win the championship.  .

    Even if they feel emotional after seeing this scene, they will not regress or waver. They are made by widows No, they are made by untitled superstars!

    The entire Lakers team was excited, and Zhang Hao was also very excited. He sacrificed, took responsibility, and did everything he should do. Finally, he and his teammates evened the score. He was very excited. More  A desire, at this time, I can't take care of it.

    But then he realized that something was missing

    Where is O'Neal?

    Where is Gary Viddy?

    Where is the silver fox?

 Chapter 312 312. You have to believe in the light!  (Part 1) (12,000 words, please vote for me)

    What does it mean to be in hell one second and in heaven the next?

    100 to 106, g6 lost. For a moment, the mentality of most of the Bulls players exploded!

    Although the Bulls players still believe in their own strength and are eager to win the tiebreaker and defend the title at home, they are also shocked by the super toughness and never-give-up spirit displayed by the Lakers. They are excited to compete with such a team.  I was excited about the tiebreakerbut they were chased from 3 to 1 to 3 to 3. Even though there were so many reasons to support them, their mentality still exploded!

    After returning to the locker room, the morale of the Bulls players was very low. At this time, they didn¡¯t know what to do. They had never encountered such a situation, from 3 to 1 to the tiebreaker

    Jordan is ready to start speaking mode, although I don¡¯t know if it will be effective.

    At this moment, general manager Jerry Krause¡¯s secretary with a pert butt rushed into the locker room with a red face. After panting and finishing a sentence, the Bulls players were stunnedand then, ecstatic!

    "O'NeillO'NeillO'NeillO'Neal is injured! It may be a torn rotator cuff muscle and he was sent to the hospital!"

    Jordan was disgusted when he looked at Bulls general manager Jerry Krause, and the people around Krause were disgusted when he looked at them.

    But this time, Jordan felt that this secretary was simply the most beautiful woman in the world!

    One of the opponent's strongest superstars was injuredThe Bulls were unwilling to do something that maliciously hurt the opponent's star, especially since Jordan himself had been in such a situation many times in the late 1980s. He hated this kind of thing.

    The opponent's star is injured, and it seems that the victory will be in vain, but at this time, will the Bulls choose to "humility"?  Of course it's impossible!  This is your chance!  This is their chance to win the championship!

    Injuries are inherently part of the game, and whether a player can stay healthy or not is inherently part of a player¡¯s strength.

    The Lakers did not ensure good health and their strength declined. This is part of their strength.

    There is a bit of luck, but Barkley and O'Neal's explosive performances in G5 and G6. Although it was based on strength, O'Neal's five hook hits in the third quarter of G6 were not lucky.  Barkley's G5 mid-range shot is ridiculously accurate, and his shots at the basket under confrontation are also amazingly accurate, which is also a manifestation of good luck.

    Luck is also a part of strength. Only with a foundation of strength can you grasp luck when it comes.

    Now, it¡¯s the Bulls who have to take advantage of their luck!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Originally, although O'Neal's shoulder injury has not completely healed, it does not affect the game. It is well protected and will be treated after the end of the season It may have been delayed for too long and some problems will arise, but it has been within control.

    But in the finals, every game O'Neal fought for resulted in longer post-match physical therapy and pressure-wearing time. Finally, he risked his life in the two games of G5 and G6, especially in G6, where he worked hard on both offense and defense to dominate.  The force still deepened the originally strained rotator cuff muscles to the point of partial muscle tear in the rotator cuff.

    Went to the hospital for an examination and confirmed that Gary Vidi¡¯s judgment immediately after the game was correct.

    The Silver Fox left the court as soon as the game ended and rushed to the hospital to get the bad news.

    After coming to the Lakers, despite constant overt and covert competition with Zhang Hao, O'Neal has not shown the same depressed look as he did with the Magic in the 1995-96 season and the 94-95 season finals for a long time.

    In this finals, O'Neal often showed that attitude. After g5, he got better. After the first three quarters of g6, he regained his original energy, but a reasonable pull in a confrontation in the fourth quarter this  This kind of pulling is reasonable in the finals. Barkley, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams and even George Lynch will all encounter the same defensive treatment when they play power forward.

    It¡¯s just that he had a shoulder injury before, which caused this kind of defensive treatment to have a different effect on him.

    He only has one thought now - am I going to lose the finals again?

    It¡¯s 3-3, and we¡¯ve lost. O¡¯Neal is even more dissatisfied than losing 1-3!

    They have all worked hard to achieve this, and they have seen the light of day, but their legs can no longer move.

    Seeing the Silver Fox coming, O'Neal gritted his teeth and said, "Coach, I have no problem, I can still play with a pressure suit on!"

    With O'Neal like this, he really looked like a ferocious beast with a weak blood supply. It was extremely ferocious. The silver fox felt the reluctance in O'Neal's heart.

    Although O'Neal didn't bother to do anything in the regular season, the Lakers have become the Los Angeles Nets, and the regular season relies entirely on three players from the Nets.

    But in the postseasonp; "I want my head to be cooler, but wearing this will make it more stuffy."

    What else can be done at this time? Zhang Hao pretended not to care and shaved off his hair.

    The hair flying in the air seems to be Zhang Hao¡¯s blood and tears scattered in the wind

    "Oh" Barkley understood, but why did this little boss feel like he was gnashing his teeth?

    Zhang Hao continued shaving his head with blood dripping in his heart. Fortunately, after shaving all the top of his head and carefully shaving all the hair stubble with a fine end, his handsome face was freed up again.

    Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhang Hao angrily praised: "Sure enough, hairstyle still depends on the person. This guy is so handsome!"

    After shaving my hair quickly, the system prompt came.

    "Michael Jordan 1986-1987 version of the star experience card can be used by: contracted player Zhang Hao, who has completed the advanced use method, and the basic matching degree has been increased to 90%, because he wears a medal related to Michael Jordan's characteristics: King of Jump Shots (Gold  ), the matching degree bonus is 15%, which has reached a perfect match.

    At 5:40 in the evening, the two teams in the finals will enter the venue.

    In the player tunnel, the Lakers players were surprised. There were many fans calling them!

    The voice was not as loud as shouting Jordan and Pippen, and it was messy, but it was not completely drowned out by the home fans!

    In an instant, the Lakers players were so moved that they almost collapsed, but the fans have not given up yet!  A sense of responsibility arises spontaneously.

    At this time, they truly understood that they represented not only themselves, but also the fans who supported them.

    "The owner of the Bulls has made money from our fans again"

    At this time, a faint sentence came out from the darkest place in the player tunnel, breaking the emotions of the teammates that were gradually rising to a point of excessiveness.

    The stadium had darkened at this time. A spotlight swept across the entire stadium. For a moment, it hit the darkest part of the visiting team's tunnel. A round lump of light reflectedit blinded my eyes!

    In the tiebreaker, there is always pressure. Being too excited can relieve the pressure, but it is not a good thing. Seeing the shiny bald head and hearing the familiar complaints, the emotions of the teammates reached a state of balance

    Fight for yourself, fight for the fans!

    The starting lineup of Barkley, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, and Zhang Hao successively appeared!

    When Zhang Hao's bald head appeared in the spotlight, the eyes of the University of Kansas's star player, Paul Pierce, his mother, Georgetown University's center King Zhizhi, Zhang Hao's family of four girls and his wife all had their eyes widened.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????When Zhang Hao fell behind 1 to 3, he said he would start over from the beginning?

    The fans at the scene and the players on the opposite side were also surprised A certain bald player No. 23, who did not want to be named, became jealous - why does this bastard shave his head like he is filming an idol drama?

    It's all going to make a movie, can you mix well in Los Angeles  but it's still cool to play with this guy, but unfortunately 

    Jordan still felt a little regretful when he looked at O'Neal sitting on the Lakers bench in a suit.

    He really wants to win the fifth championship, but at this point, he always feels like something is missing.

    " However, he will never hold back because of this. Instead, he has to try his best. The opportunity is in front of him. If he doesn't seize it, he will be really sorry for himself.

    When the Lakers players came out, there were cheers mixed with boos. According to visual inspection, there were nearly 5,000 fans wearing Lakers jerseys No. 8, 32, 34, and 36. They were Zhang Hao, Magic, Barkley, and O'Neal.  jersey!

    In the tiebreaker, the Bulls could only sell tickets after Game 6. The ticket price in the stands reached $1,517, far exceeding the previous record price of $1,033 set by the Suns in G6 in 1993. United Center  There are 21,789 seats. Calculated based on pricing for additional tickets, the average ticket sold by the Bulls reached $2,035, breaking the record-high average ticket price of $1,639 for the G6 in 1993. The sales price of sideline tickets was $35,000.  , according to the playoff ratio of 5.5 to 4.5 teams to the league, in this game, the Bulls, the league, and the scalpers all made a lot of money.

    When the Bulls players came on the field, Zhang Hao took a look at the player detection system

    "Michael Jordan, ability evaluation 105 (max)"

    "Specially signed player Zhang Hao, temporary ability evaluation is 105 (max)"

    Regardless of whether it is a temporary experience or not, the system determines that a basketball player has reached the ultimate personal ability. In the finals tiebreaker, he will face off with another player who has reached the ultimate basketball strength

    After entering the stadium, Zhang Hao¡¯s distracting thoughts disappeared.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s current thoughts on playing, trying to win the game, and win the championship have become extremely simple.

    Different from g2-g6, in those 5 games, the two teams met like jealous enemies. Before the start of this game, Magic, Barkley, Jordan, Wilkins, Jeromy Cole  West, Robert Parish, Byron Scott and other veterans who entered the NBA before 1985 spent some time chatting before the game.

    Everyone knows that it is very likely that tonight will be the last time they play against each other. At this moment, it seems that the details of every battle in the past are still yesterday, but many of them are ready to retire.

    So Barkley is still at the tail end of his peak, and Jordan is still at his peak.

    The game is about to begin?There was no team attack at all, Zhang Hao was ready to go it alone!

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt. Zhang Hao beckoned for the ball one meter away from the left side of the top arc. Jordan did not press forward. Zhang Hao asked for the ball at this position. He could not press forward and go around, otherwise he would be easily cut in.  , being rushed up by Zhang Hao from such a long distance, it was impossible to see the defense behind him.

    Kenny Anderson did not hesitate, passed the ball to Zhang Hao, and then pulled away towards the right sideline.

    Jordan stayed on the three-point line and did not press forward to defend. Zhang Hao did not try to wait for a further three-pointer and started dribbling to break through.

    Seeing Zhang Hao dribbling in front of his body, even the Bulls fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim.

    This scene has almost never appeared in the finals.

    Jordan¡¯s defense was very stable. He didn¡¯t press forward to steal, which was unnecessary, and he didn¡¯t move his feet easily.

    After two seconds of movement, the feeling came. Zhang Hao made a cross step and pulled horizontally. When the ball bounced up and received it, there was a pause. Suddenly, he broke through to the right!

    Jordan moved very quickly, predicted well, and moved to Zhang Hao's route in time.

    Everyone who saw this scene thought that Zhang Hao's movements were old, but when Zhang Hao moved his body forward to the right, he quickly pressed the ball down, made a beautiful change of direction in front of his body, stepped forward with his right foot to the left, and his body  At the same time, he pressed up and blocked Jordan, who was trying to move to the right to block back. His left hand caught the ball that bounced down and entered the three-point line!

    When confronting Jordan, Zhang Hao raised his right elbow to resist Jordan, successfully pressed in, and went straight to the basket!

    Rodman thought Jordan was blocking Zhang Hao, so he followed Jason Williams and extended out, preparing to defend the pick-and-roll. Zhang Hao passed Rodman directly and took off one step inside the free throw line, as if flying.  When you take off, grab the ball. When you jump up, open your legs in the air. At the same time, pull the hand that holds the ball up. Then stretch the ball forward, lean forward, and when it falls, gently dunk the ball in.  Basket!

    This scene is not only familiar to Jordan, who turns around to pursue him, but also to the fans at the scene!

    This is a dunk that Jordan often used before retiring!

    And what shocked Jordan was not the dunk, but the details of Zhang Hao's breakthrough just now, which were exactly the same as him!

    Especially the small detail of raising his elbow. When the two were close to each other, Zhang Hao raised his arm, but not completely. He just raised it at the right moment when the defender wanted to turn around immediately.  Just put it down. Except for the two people confronting each other, it is difficult for others to see unless there is a close-up.

    Jordan has seen Zhang Hao's learning ability. He taught Zhang Hao two techniques in total, which took less than an hour and a half. These two techniques have become important components of Zhang Hao's offensive methods.

    These are not special. Jordan is not surprised by the little tricks such as raising the elbow and dunking. These are very simple things, unlike turn-over jumpers and pull-up jumpers.

    What confuses Jordan the most is Zhang Hao¡¯s change of direction in front of his body. Isn¡¯t this his breakthrough move?

    For a moment, Jordan was a little confused, but when he saw the score of 13 to 21he quickly concentrated.

    After entering the NBA for more than ten years, Jordan has never seen any big storms. What he is best at is not to figure out something immediately. What he is good at is to focus and not understand things that cannot be understood temporarily. Finding ways to deal with them is the last word.

    At this time, scoring is the best way to deal with it.

    When the Bulls attacked, I don¡¯t know if it was an accident in the previous round or something else. Jordan didn¡¯t gamble. After Ron Harper advanced to the frontcourt, he led Zhang Hao to cut to the basket.

    Zhang Hao naturally defended Jordan every step of the way.

    In the past 6 games, Zhang Hao has defended Jordan many times without the ball. This time, Jordan found it particularly difficult. It was really not an illusion. He found that Zhang Hao was actually faster than him!

    Fortunately, his running position successfully disrupted the Lakers' defensive formation, just like Zhang Hao's running position disrupted the Bulls' defensive formation in the first half of the quarter, and the Bulls did it more easily. The defense of the Lakers' lineup is completely unable to compete with the Bulls' starting lineup.  compared to.

    Pippen broke through and passed the ball to Earvin Robertson. Earvin Robertson passed the ball without stopping, and Ron Harper hit the layup from the baseline.

    There¡¯s really no way around it, I just can¡¯t prevent it!

    It¡¯s so stable!  The ability to seize opportunities is not ordinary!

    The Lakers relied on Zhang Hao to use the "Soul of the Lakers" and maximize the role of "Homecoming", so that the Lakers can play a role similar to that of the Bulls, and the Bulls actually have this ability.

    At this time, Zhang Hao didn't think so much anymore. With this lineup, Barkley was not around, and Kenny Anderson had to slow down and stay on the court as the best containment point on the outside for half a quarter. The team needed stable scoring and the Bulls' overall offense.  Confrontation The main reason is that Jordan is very calm and does not want to break his head with him as he expected. Then, he must score steadily

    Zhang Hao¡¯s choice is simple. He plays singles and shoots, which is the most stable way to score!

 Chapter 314 314. Gods and Gods: Execution (13,000 words, please vote for me)

    I¡¯m getting excited!

    Zhang Hao ran to the frontcourt, waited for Kenny Anderson to advance, and passed the ball to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao started dribbling with his hips more than one meter away from the three-point line.

    Even the Lakers fans at the scene were shocked.

    It¡¯s the tiebreaker, the most critical game of the entire season, the game that will determine the success or failure of a season. Why are our new generation of talented superstars even more unrestrained?

    This is too crazy!  Dribble quickly when facing Jordan!

    No matter how calm Jordan was, he couldn't bear it anymore. Taking advantage of Zhang Hao's action of tapping the ball down with his left hand, he immediately stuck to it, trying to complete the steal when the ball bounced up!

    However, Zhang Hao hit the ball with great force this time. The ball bounced quickly on the floor and bounced towards the front right. At the same time, he stepped forward to the right with his left foot facing Jordan who was pressing up, just in time with the pressing Jordan.  Jordan fought against each other, raised his left elbow slightly to resist Jordan, stepped out with his right foot in the second step, and already took a step into the top arc.

    It¡¯s another classic change of direction from Jordan¡¯s youth!

    At this time, Jordan himself couldn¡¯t stop him!

    Jason Williams under the basket reacted quickly and quickly dodged. Rodman also quickly retreated from the baseline. When Jason Williams withdrew from the basket, he immediately saw that Zhang Hao had reached the free throw line.  At the position of the inner dotted arc, he had no choice but to get out of the way.

    Zhang Hao made an easy underhand layup without even using any force to take off. He took one step and went straight to the layup, cleanly.

    Jordan wouldn¡¯t think it would be a big deal if it was Grant Hill or Anfernee Hardaway who dribbled under the crotch and then changed direction in front of the body for a layup. Both of them are very strong in this aspect.

    But, this is Zhang Hao!  Center forward!

    23 to 15, the Lakers continue to lead by 8 points.

    Patient and calm, Jordan ran to the frontcourt and was stuck by Zhang Hao. He knew that he only needed to calm down now and their offense would be able to play well. Erwin Robertson was of little use in the regular season, but in this finals  , has an outstanding role. When a third offensive point besides Jordan is needed, Erwin Robertson can work well with Pippen and Ron Harper to connect the offense together.

    Pippen got a chance and hit a three-pointer from the right sideline at a 45-degree angle!

    18 to 23, the Bulls narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

    When it comes to the Lakers' offense, the Lakers players don't dare to be careless. The Bulls only sent out the strongest lineup to deal with the team without a big center to protect the frame during the rotation stage. If the Lakers are a little careless, once there is a consecutive 2-3  If you don't score in a round, you will basically be overtaken by the score.

    Zhang Hao came to the frontcourt to receive the ball, and received the divine treatment

    Jordan and Pippen flanked Zhang Hao one step away from the three-point line!

    Zhang Hao raised the ball and lobbed it to Brian Shaw before two shooters. The Bulls were ready to defend. Ron Harper made up for Brian Shaw, and Brian Shaw passed to Kenny.  -Anderson and Kenny Anderson received the ball and then passed it to Doug ChristieDoug Christie was very decisive. He took a shot and knocked away Jordan who was quickly defending. He took a step to the mid-range and shot a jumper  hit!

    Jordan¡¯s rush to cover up defense is truly amazing. At this age, his explosive speed is so fierce, but he can only move in place and must take off immediately, otherwise Doug Christie will be able to shoot directly.

    Doug Christie is really calm. As a white player, he is average when he rushes into the paint to score, but he also has the good shooting feel and rhythm of most white players. The key is that he dares to shoot!

    His shot is very important to the Lakers at this stage.

    Unable to prevent Zhang Hao from holding the ball and organizing the offense, we can only bet on whether the Lakers can seize the opportunity when the third and fourth shooting spots are open on the outside. The key is that the Lakers players are so cool today. Even Doug Christie can be calm and  Choose your shots with a clear mind and keep your shots stable

    The Bulls really didn't expect this, but this year's finals ended like this. No matter how surprised they may be in retrospect after the game, during the game, the Bulls players didn't think too much about anything.  Whatever the problem is, just find a way to deal with it.

    Real championship mentality, this is where the Bulls are far stronger than the Jazz.

    However, the Lakers had a similar performance tonight. No matter how good the Bulls' team offense around Jordan was, the Lakers did not fluctuate due to the huge pressure. Zhang Hao's expression was not stable.  If you change and play focused, your teammates will be very emotionally stable and play focused.

    Around the score difference of about 5 points, the two teams continued to fight and pull back.

    From 9 minutes and 33 seconds to 10 minutes and 52 seconds of the first quarter, the Bulls really played a wave of 8 games.?Slowly, he hit a one-step jumper while playing singles against Zhang Hao.

    The rhythm, the timing of the horizontal pull, the decisiveness and accuracy of the jump shot are all perfect, as perfect as a textbook for a shooting guard.

    Hao can't be guarded, but he doesn't have to double attack. The Bulls sent out three three-pointers, Pippen, Cole, and Kukoc, which is exactly the lineup that is very suitable for Jordan to distribute the ball in isolation.

    Rather than let Jordan throw away, Zhang Hao would rather be blown away than let the Bulls pitchers miss.

    Because he is not afraid of being beaten by Jordan, he can also attack!

    Arriving in the frontcourt, Zhang Hao received a pass from Kenny Anderson. Sure enough, as he expected, at this time, Jordan came to guard him personally.

    This time Zhang Hao did not look for a pick-and-roll, but directly changed direction and broke through Jordan. He hit the emergency stop jumper on the right side of the free throw line facing Pippen's defense!

    32 points!  After two rounds, Zhang Hao shot again and still scored!

    This caused the Bulls to directly give up the interference they discussed during the timeout and wait for Zhang Hao to take action.

    The key to this defense is that Jordan can limit Zhang Hao's breakthrough one-on-one and limit Zhang Hao's jump. Just like in previous games, he can at least do this. In this way, even if Jordan ends up focusing on confrontation and focusing on defense,  In terms of limiting Zhang Hao's take-off space, there is not enough control in the air. Pippen, Rodman, and Kukoc can also interfere with the attack.

    But just as Zhang Hao couldn't stop Jordan at his peak, Jordan couldn't stop Zhang Hao at his peak.

    The Bulls decisively chose the planned defense and directly started the flanking attack mode. They could no longer let Zhang Hao score so easily.

    When Zhang Hao plays Jordan alone, 80% of the time he will get a nearly open shot. Zhang Hao's confidence in such a shot is higher than that of Kenny Anderson and Doug Christie's real open shots!  The confrontation between these two people can still have an impact at least. Tonight's Zhang Hao was really amazing, and he could feel explosive at any time.

    Unable to guard against it, Jordan played fatal singles. In terms of personal performance, Jordan was really like a god coming down to earth.

    However, the Bulls' expectations for the Lakers' calmness and reduced focus on seizing opportunities were in vain!

    Zhang Hao was very calm. He didn't have to do it by himself when faced with Pippen's attack or Rodman's prepared defense. He passed the ball when it was time to pass, and he never stopped passing because he didn't have an assist. He had to pass the ball and get the goal directly.  Assist teammates.

    His calm and focused performance maximized the impact on his teammates, who were also focused throughout the game.

    ¡°This, in the eyes of others, is Zhang Hao¡¯s leadership ability on the field!

    If they knew how Tim Duncan, the potential No. 1 pick, would play in the NBA in the future, they would definitely say that Duncan's template is indeed Zhang Hao.

    Jordan's scores continued to rise. He launched a fierce attack and no one could stop him. He scored 18 points in the third quarter. At the end of the three quarters, his personal score had been raised to 36 points, which was just short of Zhang Hao's 37 points after the three quarters.  1 point!

    Being bigger and heavier will make him more destructive, but being bigger makes him easier to be flanked, because he is not as tough as O'Neal. Zhang Hao's personal score is almost overtaken by Jordan, but he is not in a hurry, because  No matter how powerful Jordan was, the Lakers relied on him alone to disrupt the opponent's team defense and continue to maintain a clear lead!

    At this time, Barkley and Kenny Anderson played a huge role. After Zhang Hao released the ball, Barkley bravely attacked the inside, and Kenny Anderson maintained a very high level after receiving the ball and passing or shooting.  Driven by this, the Lakers took the lead and the whole team was revitalized!

    The lineups that both sides replaced at halftime played the entire third quarter, and no one dared to make the first substitution. Zen Master was worried that he would not be able to maintain this competitive situation after the substitution, and could only wait for the Lakers to collapse first.  , the Lakers also waited for Jordan to collapse, but the expectations of both parties were disappointed.

    101 to 90, after three quarters, the Lakers continue to maintain an 11-point lead!

    The Bulls scored 26 points in the third quarter and the Lakers scored 30 points in the third quarter!

    In the third quarter, which was supposed to be crazy for the Bulls, the Lakers relied on their advantage in the first half to cause the Bulls to experience drastic fluctuations in performance from the beginning. Although they adjusted back later, the Lakers still pushed back in the third quarter.  The score difference opened up by 3 points!

    What devastated the Bulls players the most was that they defended so hard, and Zhang Hao still scored 10 points in the third quarter!

    37 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 13 of 21, which made many Bulls players feel excited!

    Their crazy third quarter was stifled by the Lakers!

    They don¡¯t know what else to do. They have never faced this situation in the tiebreaker of the playoffs because they usually win the tiebreaker and have never reached a tiebreaker in the finals.

    Before the game, they were still thinking that they were going to collapse. O'Neal was suddenly injured. They were really destined. God blessed them to complete the defense of the title.

    By this moment, this idea has been reversed by the Lakers - even if God gives them a chance, the Lakers don't give it!  Zhang Hao won¡¯t give it!

 Chapter 315 315. The style of the new era

    When entering the inter-session break, Zhang Hao received a system prompt that "the task of defeating and killing" was completed.

    It went smoothly, very smoothly, but Zhang Hao knew clearly that it was not that simple. This was their performance in the first half, and the impact they had on the Bulls in the first half. It was only when they exploded at the beginning of the third quarter that the task was completed.  Not that difficult.

    And it was not his own efforts. He scored 37 points and 6 assists, which was his best performance, but Barkley's 17 points and 6 rebounds in the three quarters, Kenny Anderson's 18 points and 6 assists, and Doug Christie's 11  points, Jason Williams' 5 points and 6 rebounds Brian Shaw, Magic, Jeromy Kersey all made their achievements in their limited and discontinuous playing time.  contribution.

    This is a task completed by the whole team together!

    The rest time between sections ended quickly, and Silver Fox didn¡¯t even bother the team members much. At the end of the quarter, these five people came on, and they were allowed to rest.

    The Bulls did not rotate in the final quarter. What they have to fight for now is offense. They must hold on and can only hope for miracles.

    Jordan has obviously felt that his teammates have collapsed. It is useless to say anything at this time, but he personally is still unwilling to give up!

    With an 11-point difference, he firmly believes that he is not incapable of that!

    ¡­¡­

    At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two teams continued their excellent offensive performance in the third quarter.

    In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the Lakers¡¯ 7-2 wave at the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers would not have had any advantage in the last 10 minutes of the third quarter. The score of 23-26 would be three points less than the Bulls.

    Therefore, the Lakers did not become careless because many players on the other side showed confusion in their eyes. However, Zhang Hao took the initiative to adjust his playing style.

    Both Barkley and Jason Williams went to the baseline to keep rushing. Zhang Hao, who was sweating during the break, took Kenny Anderson's serve and advanced!

    Maximizing the unnecessary consumption of teammates, pick-and-rolls, coordination, etc., are no longer important. Now, at this time, he has to carry the team and win!

    Unfortunately, it was a one-on-three breakthrough. Faced with Pippen and Kukoc's missed mid-range shots, Rodman was the only player on the Bulls team besides Jordan who still maintained absolute determination.  He protected the defensive rebound well and was indeed brave in grabbing it.

    Looking back, Jordan's singles shot through the basket and hit a pull-up layup, 92 to 101, and the point difference was narrowed to 9 points by the Bulls!

    This did not waver the Lakers' defensive choices. Zhang Hao advanced to the frontcourt by himself. Zhang Hao still played in a 1-on-n singles mode.

    Because at this time, what the Lakers want is the stability of their playing style. Even if there may be a mistake in the decision, teammates must support Zhang Hao's decision.

    At the beginning, the Bulls really relied on Jordan's crazy 5-for-8 shooting to score 11 points. The team beat the Lakers 13-9, making the score 103-110, and the point difference was narrowed to 7 points.

    During this period, the Lakers players also had their hearts shaken and wanted to change, but seeing Zhang Hao's calm look and no emotional change at all they became firm.

    More than 5 minutes passed. Indeed, the point difference was narrowed, but Zhang Hao scored 7 points, and with Barkley's tip-in, they did not allow the Bulls to really narrow the point difference to a dangerous point for the Lakers.  !

    No matter how fierce Jordan attacks, Jordan has already scored 47 points, and the Lakers still maintain a relatively clear lead. The performance of Zhang Hao and Barkley made the teammates completely feel at ease, and just play like this!

    With the speed at which the Bulls are chasing points, they don¡¯t have to be afraid at all!

    However the Lakers players overestimated the Bulls' ability to withstand pressure It's not an overestimation. The Bulls' ability to withstand pressure is definitely the best in the league, and may even be the best team. The Lakers players are  Underestimating the pressure on Bulls players.

    Jordan made 18 of 35 shots, 3 of which were three-pointers. In addition to 8 of 10 free throws, Zhang Hao scored more than 30 points alone, a blast of 47 points. He scored 11 points in the last half of the quarter, but he was unable to catch up.  The journey seems to be getting more and more difficult!

    There are more than 6 minutes left, and the point difference is still 7 points. Judging from the situation of chasing 4 points in the previous 5 minutes, it is much harder than reaching the sky!

    It¡¯s time for the Bulls to attack again. This time, Jordan¡¯s shot was short!

    When avoiding Zhang Hao's defense, Jordan could see that the rhythm of his movements had slowed down a lot, and he couldn't really get rid of Zhang Hao's defense. He could only increase the range of his back, and as a result, he missed three shots!

    Jason Williams protected the rebound and passed it directly to Zhang Hao.

    Others, including Barkley and Kenny Anderson, no longer want to fight back and want to use up their physical strength.Together with you, we entered the stadium with two hostesses.

    The situation of the old players was different from what Zhang Hao imagined. Barkley didn¡¯t even cry after winning the championship

    Yes, I didn¡¯t cry. When David Scott announced that the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship in the 1996-1997 season, and Barkley received the trophy with the humility of Zhang Hao, Magic and others, he burst into tears.  ¡­

    After the championship trophy was awarded, David Stern, with his usual smile on his face, was actually quite helpless at this moment

    David Stern was prepared for Jordan to lose the championship from the beginning, but after the first 4 games, he thought that the Bulls would definitely defend the title. That was okay. Although Jordan's god-making project ended in 1993, Jordan would come back later.  It was unexpected that it was so violent, but it was still possible to continue.

    As a result, the Lakers caught up with the big score again Although due to O'Neal's absence in g7, the Lakers' probability of winning the championship dropped sharply as soon as it reached the advantage, but David Scott thought about it, if the Lakers really win the championship in the end  Now, he plans to give FMVP to Barkley or O'Neal. O'Neal is injured, and Barkley is the best choice.

    With 21 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, Barkley performed really well in the end. He performed very well throughout the finals and was worthy of FMVP.

    He wanted to praise Zhang Hao, but he gave enough. He continued to help Zhang Hao be exposed and help Zhang Hao increase media support. It can be said that Zhang Hao was so recognized in the voting. The strong promotion of the alliance was the most critical reason in the early stage. Zhang Hao was only in the second year.  Most of it was based on his own efforts. It was only in the second-year playoffs that he really won recognition with his playoff performance.

    At this time, in terms of FMVP, David Stern is not so willing to give it to Zhang Hao. If there is someone with comparable performance, then give it to someone else. This is due to political considerations There is no way, business needs to be done, but  Local business is what matters.

    However, he led his team to kill the Bulls with 55 points and won the tiebreaker, destroying the Bulls dynasty that was about to take shape. Also, relying on this game, Zhang Hao increased his scoring average to 35 points per game!

    This David Scott looked at the trophy that had just been engraved with his name using the laser engraving machine that arrived

    After the Lakers players watched Barkley burst into tears, they passed the championship trophy around. After each player, management staff, and coaching staff had their photos taken, it was time for the FMVP award.

    Although O'Neal was unwilling to give in, he knew that if he was evenly matched with Barkley and Zhang Hao, if he played one less game, it would definitely not be his turn

    Zhang Hao had no expression, and Buckley showed expectation on his face Who doesn't want FMVP?

    Even if the probability is low, you can still look forward to it. It is not illegal to look forward to it.

    David Scott spoke again: "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 1996-1997 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player is"

    As always, he loves to create suspense. O'Neal had his ears pricked up at this moment, so he still had to look forward to it.

    "Our gentleman, Aix, Zhanghao!"

    O'Neal depressedly hugged the championship trophy in his arms tightly, but suddenly found tears and runny nose, and distanced himself in disgust.

    Barkley sniffed, crying so much that his eyes were full of tears and snot. If it had been the last game, he would have really had a chance, but tonight Zhang Hao's performance was simply crazy!

    The explosion was so explosive that it was unimaginable before seeing it!

    In the final quarter, he took 15 shots and scored 18 points, beating Jordan and the Bulls with just one hand

    Zhang Hao stepped forward, David Scott picked up the FMVP trophy from the tray and handed it to Bill Russell. Bill Russell forced a smile and handed the FMVP trophy to Zhang Hao.

    This trophy belongs to Zhang Hao alone. He does not need to pass it to others. He lifts the trophy and enjoys the cheers from the few people present who are trying their best to tear up their throats!

    After the awards were given, reporters and cameramen from American Cable TV, the designated TV station for the finals award ceremony, came to the court, came to Zhang Hao who had retreated into the crowd, and asked: "Akers, you won the championship in the second year of your career.  fmvp, and you¡¯re younger than Magic, what are your expectations for the future?¡±

    "The future? Isn't this coming? Welldid you hear it? The wind is rising!"

 Chapter 316 316. Retired veterans

    On June 20, 1997, the Lakers defeated the Bulls in the seventh game to win the championship.

    The Lakers' championship this time has almost completely different meanings for Zhang Hao himself and for others, so winning the championship itself is the same.

    At 20 years and 164 days old, Zhang Hao broke the Magician¡¯s record of 20 years and 276 days as the youngest Finals MVP in history. Everyone has the same opinion. It is simply no longer surprising that this record can be broken.

    If Zhang Hao hadn¡¯t been too violent in the tiebreaker, and if O¡¯Neal hadn¡¯t been injured and couldn¡¯t play in the tiebreaker, then the fmvp would most likely have gone to Barkley.

    The previous adjective "destined to return" is now applied to Zhang Hao. Just like the Magician rookie in 1980 who won the FMVP at the age of only 20 years and 276 days, it seems that Zhang Hao should break his record.  .

    Zhang Hao's words "The wind is rising" after winning the championship, in people's eyes, is a declaration of the arrival of a new era!

    The meaning of winning the championship is a dream-like thing for Zhang Hao. It is a super sniper against God But regarding the meaning of this aspect, no matter how wonderful the finals are, others cannot understand it.  .

    For others, the biggest significance of the Lakers winning the championship and Zhang Hao winning FMVP is that this year, the new generation and Mesozoic stars broke the dominance of the 84 golden generation, from the data list to the 84 golden generation rate for 6 consecutive years.  The team won the championship and won FMVP. This dominance was ended by Zhang Hao leading the team!

    When Barkley and Jerome Corsi saw this statement, they felt like they were expelled from the 1984 generation

    Others, for others, there is nothing very special. It is just that the Bulls failed to successfully defend the title. There are many teams that failed to defend the title.

    Only Zhang Hao knows that these three years are the key seasons for Jordan to become the unshakable number one player in basketball history.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t have any special ideas before, but now, he has more ambitions. He doesn¡¯t want someone whose dominance in the world of basketball is so solid that it is almost impossible to break.

    And this, others obviously can't understand, because others don't know, only Zhang Hao himself knows how important defeating the Bulls this time is to his budding ambition.

    The same view is that the competition for the first person in history will continue to exist in the future!

    Magic won the 6th championship. Originally, after Jordan won 4mvp + 4 championships + 4fmvp, he had begun to surpass Magic. Although Magic¡¯s contribution to this championship this time was not as much as the previous 5 championships,  But it also largely made up for the slight gap that Jordan overtook.

    Jordan, Magic, and Russell, after this finals, have become the three candidates for the number one player in history. Their supporters have their own opinions. The general consensus is that Jordan and Magic are in the same league.  Russell is slightly two and a half steps ahead.

    Because Russell is the unique first person of his era, Jordan and Magic are basically tied for the first person in the modern basketball era after 1976.

    The Bulls have shown great strength this season, winning 70 back-to-back games, and once leading 3-1 in the finals The Bulls will still be the favorites for the championship next season, and Jordan will still surpass Magic, tie with Russell, or even  It¡¯s not like there won¡¯t be another chance to compete for the first place in history in the future¡­

    But now, the 6 consecutive championships of the 1984 generation have been broken, and the new era is likely to have been kicked off by Zhang Hao!

    This season is regarded as like the 1990-1991 season, when Magic, Big Bird, and the Bad Boys were ended. It is regarded as a season that may change the times!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    In the next three days after winning the championship, the Lakers were very busy. They flew back to Los Angeles early the next morning and had a press conference in the afternoon.

    Then, on the 22nd, there was a celebration banquet and fan appreciation event. On the 23rd, the Los Angeles City Hall prepared security and traffic control and held a championship parade.

    These days are carnival days for Lakers fans and individual fans of Zhang Hao, Magic, Barkley, Wilkins, etc.

    But happy times always pass quickly. On June 24, the Lakers held another press conference.

    "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Buckley, are you really planning to leave? Mr. Buckley, maybe you can get FMVP next year."

    Listening to Zhang Hao's rare frivolous tone, Barkley responded: "Am I not giving you a chance? Look, you almost didn't get FMVP. If I continue to play next year, you might not get it."

    "It doesn't matter, Mr. Buckley, you can keep fighting. You still won't be able to grab me."

    "" Why does Barkley want to hit someone so much even after he won the championship?

    &However, he has become even more eager for the coming season and the competition for more honors in the future!

    The feeling of winning the championship was so wonderful. He finally understood why Magic, Big Bird, Jordan, Kobe, Duncan, James they were still in their thirties after they were in their thirties.

    Do they have no money?  In Zhang Hao's impression, Duncan signed nearly a hundred endorsement deals during his strongest years at the beginning of the new century. His agent secretly bilked him out of 30 million U.S. dollars without him even noticing, and also helped him  His girlfriend swindled him into using more money to raise a pretty boy

    Kobe¡¯s business side is also worth billions of dollars.

    James is the strongest one. At the age of 32, he signed a lifetime contract extension with Nike with a total value of more than 1 billion US dollars, which is a new record in the entire sports history, not to mention the income from his investments everywhere

    ¡°But these people, after winning one championship, want the second and third one even morethe desire seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

    Zhang Hao feels like this now. After winning the championship, his desire to win again and his enthusiasm for the sport he likes have become even higher!

    After chatting with Magic and Barkley, April Clark went home to help him communicate with Henry Thomas and sponsors about the upcoming endorsement activities. She needed to allocate time in the summer and adjust plans according to various arrangements.

    I opened the system that had been closed for several days, and there were several reminders of the night I won the championship.

    ¡°Flapping Wings: The Wind Rises Phase 2 mission.

    You are at war with God:

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers win the championship this season.  (7 wins, completed.)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 random medal upgrade card.  "

    "You have to believe in the light:

    Goal: With the help of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help his team, the Lakers, win the game in the tiebreaker of the 1996-1997 season finals and win the championship.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the award: Bronze Medal: Kobe Bryant Time.  "

    "Broken and executed:

    Goal: With the help of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers not fall behind the Bulls in the third quarter.  (30 to 27, completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Designated Medal Returning Gold Advance Card Fragment*1.  "

    Zhang Hao was a little disappointed not to get the Jordan Card this season, but after winning the championship, other things are not that important. If he was told before the finals to clear all the star experience cards in exchange for a championship, he would be willing.

    ??Aren¡¯t these props just used to allow him to use his life to become stronger and compete for the championship when his personal ability is not enough?

    There are already two fragments of Guixin¡¯s upgrade card, but one is still missing. I don¡¯t know when I will get the third fragment.

    Thinking about the gold-level "returning to the heart" effect, Zhang Hao felt happy!

    But for now, what interests Zhang Hao the most is the newly obtained medal - Kobe Bryant Time. Take a look.

    "Kobe Time (Bronze): Only once in a single game, a trigger command is issued to the wearing player. After the trigger command is issued, if the wearing player hits three consecutive goals (the continuous attack cannot be interrupted and needs to be executed in three consecutive rounds), the bonus will be triggered.  , the offense must be in a hot state in the next three rounds. No matter what kind of defense is encountered, as long as the shot is not blocked or a foul is not encountered that makes the shot impossible, you can get a large amount of power to make up for it.

    Note: 1. The upgrade task is related to Kobe Bryant. 2. Silver level effect: The trigger command can be issued multiple times in a single game. After triggering, the effect will be continuous until the shot is missed. 3. Silver level comes with the following features:  Stubborn.

    Stubbornness: After the wearing player accepts the trigger command, the desire to shoot is greatly increased. Whenever a shot is made, he will definitely want to continue shooting in the next round. Whenever a shot is made, the player will definitely want to continue shooting in the next round, and  It needs to be executed. If it is not executed, this Kobe time triggering instruction and triggering effect will end.  "

 Chapter 317 317. The Bulls are crazy!

    "Hey, I am!"

    Zhang Hao looked at the introduction of this medal and started swearing.

    Why does this medal look like it¡¯s poisonous?

    ?Bronze level is okay, it¡¯s normal, it¡¯s difficult to trigger, but it¡¯s very powerful, it¡¯s definitely a good medal.

    But after being promoted to Silver level, why does it feel so weird?

    But I have to say, this may be one of the most powerful medals!  Once you reach the Silver level, you have a chance of unstoppable performance.

    Although the medals are not divided into strengths and weaknesses, each medal can exert its unique effect under certain circumstances But the "Kobe Time" medal is really triggered and operated well, and it is simply invincible!

    But for this medal, the basic skills must be good enough to have a positive effect. Especially after being promoted to the Silver level, if the strength is not strong enough and the basic skills are not solid enough, if the brain gets distracted and activates the trigger command of this medal

    This reminded Zhang Hao of Kobe¡¯s style of play.

    Kobe's basic skills are undoubtedly ranked high in NBA history. Considering basic skills alone, Jordan may not be Kobe's opponent, because Jordan has better talent. Many things Jordan only requires effort to do, but Kobe needs to do his best to complete them.  The closest thing to Jordanexcept for the three-pointer.

    Otherwise, Kobe's play has long been expelled from the NBA, how can it be played for 20 years.

    Zhang Hao read the introduction of this medal again If you upgrade to the silver level, it is already difficult to get it. When it reaches the gold level but when the upgrade task is really triggered, it is impossible not to work hard to complete the upgrade.  , because it¡¯s really awesome.

    ¡°Let¡¯s put aside the matter of leveling up for now. Kobe hasn¡¯t entered the NBA yet, so I¡¯ll use the bronze one first. This effect has no side effects, it¡¯s just not that powerful.¡±

    In addition to the prompts and rewards for completing these tasks, Zhang Hao also saw a prompt on the night of winning the championship

    ¡°Special contract player Zhang Hao has broken the record of the youngest player to win a championship held by Earvin Johnson. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 112-day lifespan reward.

    The remaining life span is 1444 days and the usable life span is 1443 days.  "

    There are also tips for fmvp awards.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao has broken the youngest FMVP record held by Earvin Johnson. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Earvin Johnson 1979-1980 version of the star experience card."

    The life expectancy of 112 days has been added, which is a small replenishment. I almost had a life expectancy of 5 years, but now it has dropped to less than 4 years, but it is not bad. It is not as worrying as last summer, so Zhang Hao's  The mood is also very peaceful.

    It¡¯s the Magician Card¡­

    It would have been better if Magic played for another year, but unfortunately, Magic chose to retire. Zhang Hao tried to persuade Magic to play for another year and retire when the expected lockout came, but Magic didn't want to, and he couldn't force it.

    The Magician Card can only be used once, but it is better than nothing.

    After reviewing the entire season, Zhang Hao has a rough idea of ??the direction he wants to develop at this stage. In the next few days, before the start of the offseason, he can have time to plan carefully and plan the offseason according to the time situation.  Period training arrangements.

    There are also some things about the system, the "special use method". He looked through the previous prompts. When triggering the special use method of the star experience card, it was mentioned that other props also have special use methods.

    Although it is almost certainly a way to use it to kill someone, I am still curious about which props can be activated in the future

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao returned to the compact life style he was used to. After having lunch, he began to make plans for July. There will be interviews for the next two days tomorrow and after the draft, there will be talks with the team, although today¡¯s meeting is not included.  There is still one week left in the month, but time is still tight.

    He is busy again, and all the teams in the league have become busy immediately after the finals.

    In the past three days, there has been a lot of news about trades, most of which are rumors. There have been a few trades about this year's draft picks, but they are all relatively low-ranking, and the players traded are of no concern, and they have not attracted much attention. People  The expectation is still on the day of the draft.

    This year is another big year for the draft. Duncan has locked up the first pick, but the subsequent picks are very uncertain. It seems that there are too many college talents to choose from. Due to the poor progress in negotiations between NBA owners and the players union, he will not participate in this year's draft.  There are more talents in the draft than initially expected. In addition to top talents, there are also many talents who are predicted to become NBA starters or main substitutes.

    ¡°However, transactions often happen at such unexpected times

    At 5:30 in the evening, the new transaction section of the NBA official website after the finals was updated with a new transaction.ability.

    Jerry Colangelo is recognized as the best general manager in history. He won the best manager four times with the Suns. The formation of the American Dream Team in 1992 was completed under his leadership. He currently serves as the chairman of the American Basketball Association.  Chairman of the NBA Rules Committee now his son is also highly rated in this wave of operations.

    ¡­¡­

    A trade by the Suns and a pending transaction that none of the three parties denied after it was exposed opened the curtain on this year's pre-draft trade.

    Most of them are still rumors, but some rumors seem to be very credible. For example, the 76ers are preparing to send away Jerry Stackhouse in order to welcome Duncan's arrival.

    There are also some teams that are doing bad work year after year in order to compete for Olowokandi and Kobe Bryant, who may participate in the draft next year.

    For many teams, the draft year is a chance for them to make a comeback, but it may also be more doomed, but they have to gamble, otherwise, they will have no chance.

    Time quickly came to June 27th, and the draft was here.

    This morning, Zhang Hao participated in an interview and promoted a brand platform. In the afternoon, he accompanied April Clark to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze. After dinner, he stayed in front of the TV, waiting to watch the draft.

    After the finals, Wang Zhizhi returned to China to prepare for the next Asian Championships. He is not expected to return until the new NCAA season starts.

    Wang Zhizhi was worried before returning to China. Because of the news he received, the men's basketball team was once again in chaos. The Blue League has changed, and the Asian Championships are only a few months away, and the head coach has not yet been determined

    In this era, Zhang Hao realized that the Blue Association would be very stable in the future. Now it was not just a matter of laymen supervising insiders, but also various conflicts of interest and officialdom battles. However, there were not so many exposure channels these days.  From a chaotic perspective, these years are much more chaotic than the future.

    But he Zhang, an ordinary athlete, can't change anything. He can only say that the development of science and technology does have many benefits.

    Britney went to Whitney Houston's training camp to practice vocals and seemed to be preparing to make her official debut. With Whitney Houston as a teacher, it was a crazy start. With the help of Whitney Houston  Next, a company with the ability to distribute records acquired by Pelinka on behalf of Zhang Hao is already in contact with some outstanding songwriters to prepare for Britney's debut.

    Whether this company can survive depends on Britney. If it survives, Britney, who owns the equity, is the boss. If it cannot survive, then Britney can only go to work.

    Pierce went on a trip with a group of classmates, Curry went home with his god-sister, and little lolita Lelin went to a cram school. Children from wealthy families generally have higher learning requirements than ordinary people.  Especially in the United States, ordinary people have a happy education, but rich people have a miserable childhood

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of the draft began, but it was not a formal start, but various introductions.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, with David Stern's usual smiling face appearing on the TV screen, the 1997 NBA Draft officially began.

    First of all, there is no suspense. The Philadelphia 76ers selected Tim Duncan of the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons with the first pick.

    This is the least interesting pick. Almost since Duncan finished his sophomore season in 1995, whenever he participated in the draft, he was always the first pick.

    With the second pick, the Celtics selected Chauncey Billups, point guard of the University of Colorado Buffaloes.

    Zhang Hao thinks the Celtics have a good eye for drafting, but Billups¡¯ development will take time. Before he can find the most suitable style of play for him through many teams that he doesn¡¯t understand.  He is not a particularly good player, but he is very good in the mid-to-late stage when he is fully developed.

    The first three picks are definitely the three most watched picks. Next is the Spurs draft, followed by Van Horn, Tim Thomas, Tony Barty, Antonio Daniels, and Ron Moser.  You are such a great player in your college days.

    After Billups came on stage to shake hands with David Stern, take photos, and play the Billups college highlights, Zhang Hao saw the live broadcast switched to the secondary stage next to him!

    There¡¯s a deal!

    The Spurs want to trade this pick away, to whom?  Zhang Hao was quite curious.

    The host on the sub-stage didn¡¯t show off, and in just 3 minutes, he said directly: ¡°The Chicago Bulls sent Scottie Pippen to the San Antonio Spurs for the third overall pick in this draft.¡±

    ¡°åø!¡±

    Zhang Hao was stunned - "The Bulls traded Pippen for the No. 3 pick? Are you crazy! Who are they going to pick?"

    "Akers, did I hear you correctly? The Bulls traded Pippen? Are they not going to continue competing for the championship?" April Clark covered her mouth and exclaimed.

    Listening to April Clark's exclamation and the noise of the draft coming from the TV, Zhang Hao was also surprised. Any team could trade the No. 3 pick, but the Lakers and the overall runner-up Bulls didn't.  It should!

    Although he knew that Pippen was going to collapse next season, he basically missed the regular season, and his performance in the playoffs was extremely poor. In the original time and space, Jordan basically led the team to win the championship alone in the 97-98 season, and he became the "God of God".  season".

    But the Bulls actually traded Pippen?

    With regard to the relationship between Pippen and Jordan, Jordan must not tear down the United Center?

    Zhang Hao asked the shocked April Clark: "April, who do you think the Bulls might choose?"

    "Van Horn, his template is Larry BirdEh? Akers, why didn't the Celtics draft Van Horn?"

    "You must not select a rookie whose template is Larry Bird in the draft. He will definitely be a loser."

    "Why?"

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao was thinking about how to answer when the screen switched back to the main stage. Both of their attention were attracted to see what kind of monster the Bulls were going to do.

    Do you really want to choose a "Big Bird II" to assist Jordan or succeed Jordan?

    When David Stern walked out of the tunnel, his face was obviously full of surprise, but his smile immediately returned.

    Three minutes passed, and David Stern stepped on the spot and came to the center of the stage. After so many years, his movements are exquisite.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 1997 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected with the third overall pick"

    David Stern, who opened the envelope while reading, was stunned!

    This time he really didn¡¯t want to create suspense, he was indeed planning to create suspense, but the suspense created by his current expression is more curious than the suspense he deliberately created.

    David Stern is stunned!

    After recovering from a brief facial collapse, David Stern was a professional, smiled again, and said: "The Bulls chose Tracy McGrady from Mount Zion Christian High School!"

    April Clark exclaimed again: "The Bulls drafted a high school student! Akers, have you made the Bulls boss stupid?"

    Zhang Hao was also fooled. Indeed, because of him, Garnett's performance, and Kemp's previous performance, the market for high school students to participate in the rookie draft is rising, and it is bound to be because of them that there will be many high school No. 1 picks in the future.  For example, in the original time and space, at the beginning of the new century, three high school students were number one in four years.

    But what Zhang Hao thought was that the Bulls might choose Van Horn, Bird's successor, or they might choose a center to change their style of play I didn't expect that they would choose McGrady!

    There are only two people here, and they are in good condition. The draft scene on the live broadcast screen exploded!

    The little Green Room geniuses waiting to be selected with the third pick are just like the two high school students in 1995 when they were selected in the lottery, with very rich expressions!  And it¡¯s even more exaggerated, because this is the third pick!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Iverson and Duncan formed a double No. 1 pick combination, becoming another two No. 1 pick combination after the Rockets formed Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon in 1983 and 1984, and they looked the same.  The future of the unlimited No. 1 combination was completely stolen by the Bulls when they traded Pippen for a high school student.

    The TV commentator¡¯s complaint was very direct ¨C was the Bulls management fooled by high school students?

    It is true that McGrady was predicted to be selected around the fifth overall pick. For example, the Nets may select McGrady, but no one predicted that McGrady would be selected with the third overall pick.

    Because McGrady was not as famous as Kobe Bryant and Odom during his high school days, he only became famous in the training camp in April this year.

    It looks a lot like Zhang Hao from two years ago, even his height and weight when he participated in the draft

    But even if it is gradually recognized that high school students can adapt to the NBA, no one thinks that a random high school student can be a genius of the level of Zhang Hao, Garnett, and Kemp.

    McGrady is exciting enough, so in just two months, McGrady's draft ranking has soared to around the 5th pick. If another team gets this pick in a trade and selects McGrady, or the Spurs themselves select McGrady.  , are not that surprising.

    The key is that the Bulls exchanged Pippen for this pick

    This is why the Bulls are attacked and complained about.

    With the Spurs, choose Tracy McGrady directly or trade this pick with another team.Training plan.

    A few days of guest shooting were planned in the middle. Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company asked him to take time out in the summer to make a guest appearance in an episode of the latest Ultraman Dyna. The general plot is that Dyna cannot beat X, but X  Ultraman passed by, gave Dai a try, and taught him a few tricks

    ?Ultraman X at the end of last year gave Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company a rebirth. It made money, and now it is starting to think about developing an Ultraman universe.

    Zhang Hao chose the time after the planned training program of Iverson's cross step. It happened to be a buffer period. It was just a few days of rest. Next, he had to practice Anfernee Hardaway's back turn and retreat.  Jump shot.

    Core training is still basic skills, and all techniques must rely on this support.

    The most important thing is to develop in the direction of better cooperation with O'Neal, coordination ability, better shooting, better breakthroughs There are still many aspects to improve. Zhang Hao is not in such a hurry now, take his time and do well.  A reasonable plan and a steady approach.

    Yes, I practiced my crossover step to the top level and my post-up, turnaround and step-back jump shot to the top level in one summer. It was very steady and steady.

    ¡­¡­

    Time passed day by day. Zhang Hao was adjusting his plans, preparing for training, and participating in endorsement activities. The preparation was to rent a training hall. For summer training, he still wanted to go to Hawaii for a change of environment, and even made a guest appearance on DynaO  Terman, he had already negotiated with Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company to shoot in Hawaii. Anyway, changing the plot was easy, as long as the protagonist traveled to Hawaii.

    On July 1st, the free market begins.

    There were no surprises. On June 30, the negotiations between NBA owners and the players union broke down again. Fortunately, the agreement reached in 1995 ended on June 30, 1998, and this year's free market was not affected.

    However, not long after the free market started and the first wave of business activities ended in four days, Zhang Hao received bad news as soon as he arrived at Little Lolita's villa in Hawaii.

    On July 5, George Lynch joined the 76ers for $25 million over five years.

    Immediately afterwards, James Robinson was poached by another Los Angeles team, the Clippers, for $8 million in two years, and Jerome Kersey was poached by the SuperSonics for $10 million in four years.

    Three teams stabbed the Lakers in the back, and there was nothing the Lakers management could do.

    They can¡¯t afford these salaries.

    James Robinson and Jerome Corsi are okay, but George Lynch's departure has a huge impact on the Lakers' defense.

    But the 76ers can offer an average annual contract of US$5 million. They have two rookies, Iverson and Duncan, who both signed three-year rookie contracts. Iverson has two years left and Duncan has just started.  Campbell, the team's highest-paid player, only earns US$8 million. With the NBA salary cap rising year by year and reaching US$28.76 million next season, the 76ers can still grab people in the free market next summer.

    But the Lakers can¡¯t give it.

    This year, we are not yet in the era when the basic salary will be 100+ US dollars. The temptation for role players to increase their salary is very great.

    So far, the Lakers have lost 7 players.

    Finally, on July 10, Zhang Hao received good news. Doug Christie rejected the three-year contract offer of US$15 million from the Warriors and reached a verbal extension with the Lakers for two years and US$8 million.  about.

    Jason Williams received a three-year, $10 million offer from the Bulls, and the Lakers matched the contract.

    Ben Wallace signed a one-year, $330,000 official contract.

    Counting Zhang Hao, Brian Shaw, and Kenny Anderson who have one year left on their contracts, Fisher's rookie contract, and O'Neal's six years left on his contract, the Lakers have retained these eight people.

    However, it seems that the Lakers are still being beaten in the free market this summer

    However, after retaining Doug Christie and Jason Williams and determining the core lineup, the Lakers¡¯ first signing soon came, and it was shocking!

    Rick Fox rejected a long-term contract with the Celtics, rejected offers from the Bulls, Spurs, SuperSonics, Heat and other teams, and signed with an ultra-low salary of $3.6 million over three years.  Lakers!

 Chapter 319 319. Gentleman¡¯s Law (6K monthly votes requested)

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Instead of 10 million yuan in 4 years, 14 million in 4 years, go to the Lakers to get 3.6 million in 3 years?

    Bulls general manager Jerry Krause received the news that Rick Fox¡¯s agent rejected the offer, and when he saw the Lakers¡¯ official announcement of signing Rick Fox, his mentality exploded!

    Rick Fox is also a North Carolina graduate and a Jordan alumnus. His style of play is also suitable for Jordan's off-ball style. They also gave him a salary that is in line with the market price, but the other party would rather cut his salary than go to the Lakers.

    At this time, he thought of the Celtics. It seemed that the renewal contract offered by the Celtics was 5 years and 18 million U.S. dollars. Rick Fox still refused to renew the contract, and Jerry Krause balanced it a lot.  ¡­

    But it¡¯s hard for him now!

    He learned during the playoffs that Rick Fox wanted to change teams and that Pippen could not renew his contract. In order to avoid trouble, he chose to take a chance on the high school student who seemed to be more talented than Pippen, but in the summer  The core target is still Rick Fox. The high school student is just betting on the future. After all, Jordan is 34 years old and will turn 35 after the All-Star Weekend next season.

    If Rick Fox can be signed, Rick Fox and Jordan will bring McGrady, if McGrady's talent is as good as the rumors, he will have a present and a future.

    Jordan made it clear that he refused to trade Pippen, but he failed to defend his title. Jerry Krause has a higher say than Jordan

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?????

    If you sign Rick Fox, then the changes this summer will be completed directly, and there will be no need for others to move at all, and there will be no need to overdraw the future Now we can only start the second plan

    ¡­¡­

    In the general manager¡¯s office of Time Warner Training Center, the logo man was drinking a small drink and was in a happy mood.

    Thinking of the scene where Jerry Buss's eyes widened when he told his colleagues that he successfully signed Rick Fox, and then when he said that the contract was for three years and 3.6 million, Jerry Buss's mouth also opened wide. Others  People¡¯s reactions¡­are really cool!

    He really didn¡¯t expect that they would win the championship in the season that just ended. Of course, he thought that if they won the championship, Barkley would definitely retire.

    Even though Barkley is getting better and better as he plays in the playoffs, Barkley has always been injured, which was left over from his time with the Suns. Of course, he can still last for another two or three years. He can play leisurely in the regular season and score 10 points in each game.  Maintain your form and focus on the playoffs. You should still be very strong in the playoffs at the age of 35 or 36. If you don't win the championship, Barkley will definitely hold on, but if you win the championship, Barkley will definitely retire.

    I just didn¡¯t expect that the transitional lineup formed last summer would directly win the championship Barkley, a player with great vision for his future plans, will definitely choose to retire successfully.

    No, there is news that after retiring, Barkley chose to go to the University of Southern California to major in news media. People have already planned what they will do after retiring.

    This summer, there will definitely be no reinforcements like last summer. If Barkley had not retired, signed Rick Fox and kept Barkley, there would be nothing to worry about.

    Fortunately, he has also analyzed low-probability events, although not much, but he has thought about what to do if he wins the championship and Barkley retires, and he has done some things in advance that may seem meaningless.

    Signing Rick Fox is so important. Rick Fox is a poor man's version of Pippen with reduced athletic ability, breakthrough jump shots, and enhanced three-pointers

    Not only can it make up for the role of James Robinson as a three-point shooter, George Lynch as a forward defender, Jerome Coles as a defender at the power forward position, and Magic's support, but Rick Fox can also take over.  .

    But his most proud operation this summer was not to poach Rick Fox from the Celtics, but the Bulls really traded Pippen for draft picks to select Tracy McGrady!

    It was not in vain that he praised McGrady during the joint trial but McGrady is indeed talented. He can learn a style of play similar to Pippen and has great development prospects. But Jordan is not the Jordan of 10 years ago and he does not have time to accompany him.  Growing up with Tracy McGrady.

    What changes will this cause in the Bulls? The logo man is looking at this matter for fun it has nothing to do with the Lakers anyway.

    Seizing Rick Fox also played a role in preventing the Bulls from filling the loopholes. The Bulls made an offer to Rick Fox as soon as the free market opened, and the logo man also went to Boston to talk to Rick Fox as soon as possible.  Talk in detail, using their team's star player to lure the other party to join.

    Of course, it would be better if the Bulls didn't want to give Pippen away to the Lakers for one year

    As for the fact that three players were poached by other teams, whether they win the championship or not, the logo man is ready.

    Jerome CoeWithout this rule, opponents in the playoffs next season will be crazy.

    But there are two new proposals, which are surprising and have not been exposed before.

    Teams led by the Raptors, Grizzlies, and Timberwolves have proposed the concept of "luxury tax" and draw a line on the salary cap, such as a ratio of 120% or 130% of the salary cap. After the salary exceeds this ratio,  Any excess amount will be fined and distributed reasonably to teams with normal salary expenditures.

    This clause was not approved by more than two-thirds of the owners. Patrick Ewing, the chairman of the players union who attended the owners' meeting, also firmly opposed it and failed to pass the vote.

    But it has also been put on the agenda and needs further discussion and modification, and will be discussed again in the subsequent labor negotiations between the players union and the league.

    But another proposal that has a huge impact on today¡¯s top teams in the league was passed!

    The Bulls owner put forward a proposal - the contract signed using Jordan's exception will be officially included in the salary cap in the summer of 1998 and will no longer be independent of the salary cap. This clause even affects Patrick Ewing and his Knicks team.  Owner James Dolan objected, but because as many as 25 teams voted in favor, it passed!

 Chapter 320 320. Children coming from across the ocean (6K please monthly ticket)

    On July 16, 1997, after NBA officials announced the voting results of the regular meeting, the headlines of most mainstream media were the same - beat-la!

    Throughout this year¡¯s regular owners¡¯ meeting, it seems that all the terms passed are aimed at the Lakers.

    Lakers fans are cursing the Bulls boss. The two-year contract signed by Jordan using that special exception expired in 1998. After the extension, the salary will occupy the salary cap. He proposed to modify the terms, disgusting other teams that use this clause.  .

    Last summer, most teams ignored the "Jordan exception". Not many teams used it. Most of the useless teams were ordinary playoff teams or even bad teams.

    The emergence of this rule is bound to cause shocks to the free market in the years after 1998.

    However, in the eyes of the media, it is not the Lakers who are most affected, but the Knicks and Heatincluding the Bulls themselves.

    The Lakers will not be affected for the time being. If you have to worry about it, it will be next year. The impact on the current Lakers is not that big.

    But this operation of the Bulls really surprised many people, and they couldn't understand why they did it. This completely eliminated the possibility of them ever asking the league to renew Jordan's contract beyond the salary cap.

    With Jordan¡¯s box office appeal, if the Bulls continue to propose Jordan¡¯s contract extension beyond the salary cap after next season, other teams will most likely not object.

    Who can have trouble with money?

    The team that brought the highest increase in ticket prices to visiting teams last season was the Bulls. In fact, it was the increase in ticket prices and ticket sales rates that Jordan brought to visiting teams.

    Some experts have concluded that the passage of this clause will have a profound impact on the NBA.

    It has played a great role in promoting the temporarily shelved "luxury tax clause".

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao saw the NBA¡¯s terms changesmost of them were expected.

    Even the changes to the "Jordan Special" were expected. In his impression, the "Jordan Special" did bring down several teams in the end.

    But the Lakers are definitely not among them, otherwise they would not have completed three consecutive championships at the beginning of the new century.

    Although it is also a trouble for the Lakers, it is still within the maneuverable space. For example, after Rick Fox signed the contract, he will have bird rights after the three-year contract expires. The other main players are similar. In 1998,  When the time comes to renew the contract, you will also have bird rights.

    Not surprisingly, the 1998 Labor Agreement will introduce a special case for the middle class Anyway, the problem can always be solved.

    "Moreover, there is no need for him to worry. After signing Rick Fox, he won't have to worry about next season. He can just add functional players and be done with it.

    He continued to invest in three trainings: cross-step changes, basic defensive skills, and basic shooting skills

    As he expected, the Lakers' recruitment work has not been greatly affected. On the contrary, it is still beneficial at present.

    Because of the changes to the "Jordan Special", signings for next year and possibly strong teams will be restricted. Next season may be the clearest time to take advantage of the situation in the next few seasons.

    On July 18, the Lakers signed Joan Barry, the son of the famous Rick Barry, for US$550,000 per year.

    On July 20, the Lakers grabbed Jon Barry¡¯s younger brother, Brent Barry, and signed a two-year, $6 million contract in the competition with the Bulls!

    Brent Barry was also a rookie in the 1995 class. He signed a two-year rookie contract. He played quite well in his rookie year, starting 44 games. He averaged 10.1 points and 2.9 assists per game in his rookie year, but the Clippers did a great job recruiting last season.  , Brent Barry was placed on the bench, his playing time declined, his performance declined, and he refused to renew his contract after his rookie contract expired and entered the free market.

    His performance as a sophomore was not great, but in his rookie year he averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game and a 41.6% three-point shooting rate, which attracted the attention of many teams.

    After the free market opened, the logo man has been in contact with them, but the Bulls are also competing with them, as well as the Heat and Spurs. The latter two teams have ignored them, but the Bulls have Brent Barry's idol Jordan.

    When the Lakers were about to lose the important addition to the bench, the logo man made a trick

    The Bulls really didn¡¯t expect that the Lakers would use this kind of reverse operation to take down the older brother first to seduce the younger brother to join!

    Jerry Krause cursed Jerry West for being shameless!

    But it was not all without gain for the Bulls. They also won a battle with the Lakers.

    On July 21, the Bulls signed free agent Robert Horry with a one-year contract of US$2.5 million. The Lakers gave him 3 million per year, but the other party wanted to cooperate with Jordan more, mainly because the Bulls could provide him.  Starting position.

    CompetitionI played in the Salt Lake City Summer League in late October and the Orlando Summer League in early August. Both performances were very good, so good that I don¡¯t know how to describe it It was like asking O¡¯Neal to play in the summer league.

    During the Salt Lake City Summer League, Duncan played 9 games in 11 days, averaging 22 minutes per game and 21 points per game He didn't need to play with skills, he just dunked on people.

    McGrady played 14 games in the past two months after being selected by the Bulls. The Bulls did not reach the finals in the two summer leagues. They ended after 7 regular-stage games. Duncan and Iverson also left.  , McGrady has no one here, just a group of fringe and undrafted players who are on trial.

    But in 14 games, he averaged 31 minutes per game, scoring 13.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2 blocks, which is amazing.

    His physical fitness is simply amazing. He has all kinds of chasing skills, but he doesn¡¯t like shooting very much. He focuses on defense and passing.

    According to media reports, Jordan didn¡¯t even bother to take a look at McGrady, but after the Las Vegas Summer League ended on August 20, Jordan notified the Bulls and asked them to take McGrady to his vacation villa in Miami to find him

    After returning to Los Angeles, Zhang Hao devoted himself to studying + training. His life was compact but very happy.

    A few more days passed, and September arrived. On the morning of the 1st, he received a call from his father, saying that he was bringing a child named "Xiao Yao" to Los Angeles.

    "Xiao Yao? Who is Xiao Yao Could it be Chairman Yao!"

 Chapter 321 321. What kind of magical talent is this?  (3 updates and 17,000 words, please vote for me!)

    "Hello, Xiao Yao My surname is Zhang. If you are arrogant Zhang, just call me Brother Hao. If you are more fashionable, please call me Aix. This is my girlfriend, April Clark."

    ?? Touching the head of classmate Xiao Yao, he will no longer be able to touch it like this in two years. Right now, the other person is only a little taller than him 17 years old, 216 centimeters, that's great.

    Yao Ming, whose face has been very square since he was a child, is now really square. How does he feel that the Chinese basketball king in front of him has ill intentions towards him?

    However, the other party really agreed to help take care of him in Los Angeles. Moreover, his parents told him that when he arrived in the United States, he must have a good relationship with the basketball king in front of him.

    Yao Ming has had low self-esteem since the fifth grade of elementary school. When he was 11 years old, he grew to 180 centimeters tall and had a reserved personality. Since then, he has been bullied by his classmates. He was the only one who was one year older than him.  His cousin helped him stand up, so he didn't become autistic, but he also became more dependent on his brother.

    He was very excited when he heard that he was going abroad, but after coming to the United States, in addition to the head coach of the youth team of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club who brought him here, the staff of the Shanghai Sports Bureau, a senior in the domestic basketball industry, and a domestic  Businessman, he couldn't understand what other people were saying at all.

    " Uneasy, scared, and now that his head is being wiped, Yao Ming still feels better.

    Such an intimate gesture is something only his family would do.

    Yes, he is still just a child who will not turn 17 for more than half a month.

    Yao Ming stayed for a while and timidly shouted: "Brother Hao, Sister Hao."

    "" Brother Hao, Zhang Hao sounds okay, Sister Hao this title, forget it, it's okay. Anyway, April Clark's Chinese has improved a bit, and she can understand simple conversations.

    Seeing that Zhang Hao and Yao Ming got to know each other, Wang Zhengyi, the youth team coach of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club, stepped forward and said: "Akers, I would like to trouble you to take care of Xiao Yao. He is very talented. We hope that he can also get more training like this."  Scientific and more professional guidance, we have hired an English teacher and a nanny, so you don¡¯t have to worry about life, just help take care of the child."

    When talking to others, Zhang Hao became serious: "Coach Wang, you're welcome. This is what I should do. We are in a foreign country and we should take care of each other."

    When Zhang Weiping received a call a few days ago, Zhang Hao already understood what was going on.

    Time goes back to August 25, 1997, when the Asian Men¡¯s Basketball Championship started in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

    The Chinese team, which was assigned to Group B, met the South Korean team, the favorite to win the championship, in the first match.

    The head coach represents a lot of interests. The executives of the Blue Association each want their own person to come to power, either to unite or to be tough. It will be July 10th before the Chinese men's basketball team decides on the head coach.

    Forget it, the key is that during the period when there was no coach, the executives of the Blue Association personally led the team training, allowing the basketball players to run a marathon once a week. This operation was also amazing. It was euphemistically called physical training When Wang Zhizhi returned to the team  At that time, three main players who performed well in the Olympics last year have been injured during training!

    This has led to the fact that they, who defeated Argentina in the Olympics last year and reached the quarterfinals, may not be able to win the Asian championship. The Korean team clearly has the upper hand.

    Although Wang Zhizhi returned to the team, in the eyes of domestic professionals, it did not play a big role.

    It¡¯s not that domestic professionals look down on Wang Zhizhi, but that Wang Zhizhi¡¯s strength has been included in the strength of the men¡¯s basketball team.

    As for one year¡¯s progress¡­

    In his freshman season, due to the adjustment of Wang Zhizhi's playing style, he changed from a heavyweight inside line to a flexible inside line. After the freshman season, he will only adjust to the strength at the beginning of the freshman season. The only difference is that his playing style has changed.

    In last year's Olympics, his performance was quite good, but it was not much different from before he came to the NCAA. At that time, Wang Zhizhi, who had a large tonnage, could almost perform like this in the international arena. He also won the best center in the World Youth Championship.  title

    In last year¡¯s Olympics, Wang Zhizhi¡¯s performance was not much better than in the summer of 1995, basically at the same level.

    This caused Wang Zhizhi to encounter a lot of attacks on his stay in the United States. Some domestic experts even asked the country to recall Wang Zhizhi. Fortunately, he had the support of a group of seniors and the blessing of the top eight in the Olympic Games. Otherwise, Wang Zhizhi would really have to go back during his sophomore year.  .

    But one year later, those so-called experts and so-called professionals in China finally know what professionalism is!

    On the afternoon of August 25th, Saudi time, in the first game of the Asian Championship group stage, even though domestic professionals were not optimistic about it, Wang Zhizhi scored 26 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks, single-handedly defeated the Korean men's basketball team and led his team to an 81-match victory.  75 defeated the Korean team!

    This performance is not at all comparable to those of the top European leaguesp; Seeing Zhang Hao stop, Rasheed Wallace said loudly: "I'm only here to practice with you for two weeks! Don't think about me staying for one more second!"

    Nash looked at the teammate next to him who was acting fiercely. After more than half a year, he had understood that the teammate next to him was very tough when he should be tough, and he was also very loyal when he should be loyal. But in fact,  , but privately he is the kind of person who "hopes for world peace."

    This is not the point. The point is that this summer, Nash has heard Rasheed Wallace say "Why haven't you called me yet" so many times this summer.

    Obviously I wanted to train with Zhang Hao, I really came to be a sparring, and made that "I can't mess with it" again, Nash was speechless.

    Nash adjusted his collar and said: "Good morning, Akers, we are here."

    Ignoring Rasheed Wallace's complaints, Zhang Hao said hello: "Good morning, Rasheed, Steve, there are training clothes in your size over there in the locker room. Come and help me train after you've warmed up."

    Nash nodded and took Rasheed Wallace, who still wanted to say a few words, to the locker room.

    Nash is looking forward to training with Zhang Hao this time. He was stunned just after watching Zhang Hao's two pull-up jump shots.

    The ball control, the connecting movements and fluency of emergency stop jump shots have been greatly improved compared to last season!

    For an inside player who is a little taller than Rasheed Wallace, it is simply incredible!

    I was looking forward to it, but now I am even more looking forward to it. There is no other reason. In terms of technology, Nash and Rasheed Wallace are definitely more comprehensive than Zhang Hao. When they came out of college, their skills were already very mature and standard.  The talented rookies of the 1980s and 1990s.

    But it is a great pleasure to train with Zhang Hao, a junior who is said to be the most talented genius in history.

    Watching the two of them go to the locker room, Zhang Hao also stopped training first and thought about what he wanted to practice. For basic skills such as shooting, dribbling details, and passing and controlling, he could find Nash. For pick-and-roll enforcers, he could find Rasheed Wallace.  ¡­

    After thinking about it, Zhang Hao opened the prop space and looked at the number of gold draws It has been useless since he got it.

    Now that I have mastered the cross-step and post-turnaround jump shots, it is difficult to improve Can I draw a prize first?

    Just do it as soon as you think of it, training camp is in 20 days, and you have to prepare for the new season as soon as possible!

    As soon as I thought about it, the system prompt came.

    "The host uses the gold lottery, consuming 1 gold lottery, and the remaining bronze lottery times (opportunities) are 0 (0), the silver lottery times (opportunities) are 0 (0), the gold lottery times (opportunities) are 0 (0)"

    After the system prompt appeared, Zhang Hao saw a scene he was looking forward tofireworks!

    This is, there is a grand prize!

    After the garbled fireworks, the system prompt came.

    ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining Tracy McGrady¡¯s characteristic transformation special card: I¡¯ll know it at a glance!¡±

    "I can figure it out at a glance (*): Designate contracted players, designate learning objects, and implement learning content. If the designated learning objects are willing to guide the designated contracted players in a certain technique, they can use it and the item will be transferred to them in a minimum of three days.  Technical study to pass (60) level.¡±

    Seeing this prompt, Zhang Hao immediately crashed

    "Damn it! Tracy McGrady's characteristic transformation? What kind of magical characteristic is this?!"

    The characteristics of others can be transformed into medals or special cards, even Jordan's "Crown Prince", Kobe's "Peter Pan's physical pool", Big Bird's "Talk" When Zhang Hao first got or used it, he already felt it was exaggerated enough.  , but at least it's still within the normal range.

    When I arrived at Tracy McGrady, my style of painting changed directly!

    Completely different style from others!

    Just when Zhang Hao was stunned, the second prompt appeared.

    "Special card: I know it after just one glance. It can be used in a special way. Each time it consumes 180 days of life (equivalent to the number of gold draws), the first use consumes 90 days of life, or it can be used in a normal way. The host can choose  .¡±

    Seeing this, Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes lit up!

    ? Props are all disposable and can only be reused if special usage methods are enabled.

    Some props do not have the option to be reused, such as "Soul of the Laker", "Injury Treatment Card", etc. Maybe some props obtained before cannot trigger special use methods, maybe because this is the 1% fireworks prize in the gold-level lottery.  So there is a reuse option.

    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s a bit life-consuming¡­

    The first time you use it is 90 days of destiny, and the second time you start it, it will be 180 days!

    After calming down, Zhang Hao thought of "compiling a technical learning encyclopedia", just like he learned the turnaround jump shot and pull-up jump shot from Jordan, learned defense from James Posey, and learned passing skills from Alvan Adams and Magic.

    To reach 60, it is not that difficult to trigger the learning mode and have the blessing of simulated training with double life span consumption, but it is time-consuming.

    The triggerable learning mode cannot be triggered every time you learn something from someone

    Maybe the trigger condition is met. At this time, the system explanation comes!

    "To trigger the learning mode, certain conditions need to be met: the learning subject's evaluation of the technology reaches above 90, the learning subject patiently demonstrates every detail of the training without reservation, the host or the special contracted player Zhang Hao has the talent to learn the technology  After the conditions are met, there is a certain probability of triggering.

    ??Special card: I replied after just one glance. If the designated technology of the learning object reaches the first-class level of 80, you can start learning.  "

    "I see¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao saw this prompt and understood. He had also guessed that the conditions for triggering the learning mode were more stringent, but the result was even more stringent than he thought.

    There are not many people who can reach the top level of the NBA in a single skill, and even fewer if they are suitable.

    Like cross-stepping to change directions, it was definitely inappropriate, so he just relied on that top training card to learn it forcefully.

    It is very important whether you can get started with a technology, so this card is better.

    After analyzing it calmly, Zhang Hao felt that it was better to take it easy on things like krypton life. Even if he learned all the techniques to level 60, it would not have much effect.

    Just like the future Josh Smith, he has learned everything above the passing level. As he gets older, his athletic ability declines, and he will not be able to find a job in his 30s.

    There is also a recent example, Brian Shaw, who knows almost all skills on the outside. He is in his early 70s in every skill. He knows everything and can do anything. He is a jack-of-all-trades, but no matter what style of play, he can only perform well in the middle.  At the lower level, no matter how much, he won't be able to do it, even though he is the Lakers' most comprehensive player on the outside.

    Therefore, you have to choose the skills you need most, and learn them quickly. After reaching the passing line of 60, you still have to practice hard on your own. Only the level of 60 is just like the pull-up jump shot last season. The passing line is only to be able to  The level used by the NBA, of course, if other conditions are good enough, such as physical fitness reaching the level of James and Josh Smith, and passing skills can also produce very good results at the peak of their athletic ability.

    Only when you reach a good level of 70+ evaluation can you use it as a regular offensive method in the game. Zhang Hao himself also understands this.

    If a player reaches the first-class level of 80+ evaluation, it is considered that a skill is excellent. If a player has an average physical condition and has two or three skills that are suitable for his regular playing style and reaches the first-class level, that is NBA stability.  starting player.

    Only when you reach a level of 90 can you be said to be proficient in a technology. When a technology reaches the top level and the supporting technology is at a good level, you can basically be regarded as a star and get a big contract.

    "However, it is difficult to get started, and it is even harder after getting started, especially after reaching the level of 70. If you want to improve, you will have to put a lot of effort into it.

    "You have to choose the most suitable technology at the moment, the technology that can match the current style of play, and expand around the current style of play, and you must at least practice this skill to 70 or above before learning the next one, otherwise it will be a waste of time,  A waste of life, nothing to learn??A little bit unhappy, what an amazing talent!  Take advantage of his tenderness and beat him in the new season!

    After waiting for a while, there was still no further prompt. Zhang Hao put this matter aside for now. It was not a big deal. As for McGrady and Duncan entering the NBA, Garnett will become stronger in the new season and those in the future.  Everyone is going to enter the NBA, and he has been looking forward to it.

    On the other side, Nash is working with Zhang Hao on physical therapy and body maintenance after training.

    Rasheed Wallace wanted to leave, which was too troublesome, but Nash forced him to stay.

    Nash was submissive to the rest of the Trail Blazers, but he struck hard at Tianzun, who was "strong on the outside but hard on the inside".

    Originally, Nash wanted to leave after completing regular muscle relaxation activities with Rasheed Wallace, but seeing Zhang Hao patiently taking care of his body just after training

    This junior is nearly 3 years younger than Nash!

    Nash felt that his physical therapy was already very professional, but seeing Zhang Hao's body care method, he really felt that his previous life was too rough.

    If that¡¯s the case, then learn!

    Nash has patience. Although Rasheed Wallace next to him is absent-minded, Nash himself is still following Zhang Hao seriously.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s post-training maintenance work is relatively complicated, with many steps, very boring, and even troublesome, but Nash still patiently studied each link, preparing to write it down first, and then make adjustments according to his actual situation.

    You can¡¯t learn it in one day, but there are still 13 days to come, and you can always learn it.

    At this time, Nash discovered something - this young senior asked them to be sparring partners, maybe not to humiliate them, nor to learn something from them, but to guide them!

    "Aix is ??indeed a good man! He deserves to be called a gentleman!"

 Chapter 323 323. Suit Thug Steve Nash (6K please vote!)

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t pay attention when he saw Nash learning body care from Zhang.

    Originally, Nash would figure out how to take care of his body in the future. With his help, Zhang Hao felt quite proud.

    But one thing Zhang Hao felt that Nash might have been beaten stupid by him, and he always looked at his opponent with admiration

    The training work continues day after day.

    After entering mid-September, Zhang Hao¡¯s training began to be joined by other people. Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Jason Williams, and Ben Wallace would occasionally come to his place to train.

    Sometimes, new teammates will be brought here. Zhang Hao got to know the six new teammates.

    Joan Barry and Brent Barry were the first to come, and they got to know each other a little bit, and did not stay here. Later, Corey Blount and Sean Lukes also came, and Robert Parker also came to pay homage to Shantou.

    However, the one who came over the most often was the team¡¯s new handsome guy, Rick Fox.

    Rick Fox is not too active in talking about things related to filming. Instead, he often comes to observe Zhang Hao's training. During Zhang Hao's training breaks, he asks about Zhang Hao's playing habits and other things.

    He came to Los Angeles hoping to get in touch with Hollywood, but his main job is still to play basketball, to become a first-class star and the core of the offensive relay that strong teams want to compete for. Rick Fox worked very hard, but he just said that he had other hobbies and was willing to  Just giving up part of his salary for that hobby, playing ball, the future action movie star is serious about it.

    The teammates who came to see Zhang Hao naturally also met Rasheed Wallace and Nash. The players who played for the Lakers last season were not surprised. The new teammates were quite surprised at first and asked the Lakers veteran who brought them here.  Players later, I understand why.

    Recruiting two famous new-generation talents as sparring partners Even Rick Fox, who is regarded as a first-rate star, doesn't know what to say

    Anyway, it¡¯s very nice!

    ? And the two Trail Blazers players themselves, Nash and Rasheed Wallace, also surprised the rest of the Lakers.

    When Rasheed Wallace saw everyone on the Lakers, he wanted to show off his toughness and have a head-to-head fight with each other. Zhang Hao guessed that he wanted to ask the other party if they had freestyle, but Rasheed  Every time de Wallace provoked him, he would be yelled at by Nash and he would retreat to the side to train silently

    This weird style of painting shocked the Lakers players. Nash, who looked so polite, actually dared to yell at Rasheed Wallace, who looked like a criminal!

    Looking at Nash imitating Zhang Hao's flowing mid-parted back hair, one word came to the minds of the Lakers players - a real thug in a suit!

    ¡­¡­

    Just as Zhang Hao thought, there is no need for him to deliberately make friends with new players after the team comes. As long as he returns to Los Angeles, he will naturally get to know the new teammates.

    Most of the new Lakers players still don¡¯t dare to come into contact with Zhang Hao, including Brent Barry, who was in the same class.

    This new generation superstar is too cold. Although Kenny Anderson said that Zhang Hao is a good person, most of the newcomers don't believe it at all. They all feel that if they don't play well in the new season, they will be killed by Zhang Hao's eyes.  ¡­

    Didn¡¯t you see that suit thug Steve Nash being used as a servant by Zhang Hao?

    The main thing is that he is thin-skinnedthat is, Rick Fox is thick-skinned, and he really found out that Zhang Hao is not as cold as he seems.

    The time came on September 19th, and a team took away the last fish that affected Zhang Hao's mood in the free market.

    The 76ers sent Jerry Stackhouse to the Pistons, who were desperate for shooting guards, in exchange for this year's first-round picks Tim Thomas, Theo Ratliff, Aaron McGee,  A first-round pick in 1999.

    The 76ers have retained two draft picks and outside backup Aaron McGee, but have been selling defensive center Ratliff.

    Because the 76ers already have Campbell, a very good defensive center. Although Ratliff can see that he has great potential. He averaged 6.5 points, 5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 21 minutes per game last season, but Campbell last season  He averaged 33 minutes per game, scored 14.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. He received the 76ers' highest salary of 8 million, and Ratliff's contract was only for one year. The 76ers were completing the deal with Jerry Stackhow.  Ratliff has been touting him since the trade.

    It is reported that the Lakers were the first team to be rejected by the 76ers. The Bulls and Pacers also tried for Ratliff, but were also rejected ruthlessly.

    The 76ers first ruled out sending Ratliff to the Lakers, and then ruled out the strong teams in the Eastern Conference. After that, the Suns, SuperSonics, Spurs, and Jazz competed.¡­¡­

    A few days passed again, and it was the last day of the two-week period when the Trail Blazers were working as sparring partners for Zhang Hao. It was September 23. In the past four days, Zhang Hao, Nash, and Rasheed Wallace had all practiced separately, and  The first 9 days were no different.

    But this morning, Nash came to the arena and saw Zhang Hao¡¯s breakthrough layup training, and he was petrified

    Watching Zhang Hao rush to the inside and complete a step-up layup with a move that will look weird if you look closely

    The movements are very smooth, and the technical details are also very good. It can be said that it is completely qualified. I don¡¯t know how it will be in the game, but it can be adjusted through the game. At this level, it should be able to be used in the game.

    "At present, Zhang Hao's move is only a technical move, but it is still his Nash move. Zhang Hao definitely needs to experience it personally during the game and make adjustments according to the actual situation

    This is not the point!

    As a guard with poor athletic ability, strength, and explosiveness, Nash determined early on that he could only follow the technical stream. During college and after entering the NBA, he has been working hard to learn and strengthen his skills.

    In the process of expanding his skills, Nash suffered a lot. Some skills were difficult to practice, and after practicing some skills for a while, he found that he couldn't even get started without the talent in that area, and finally gave up day after day, year after year.  After a year of constant trying, learning, and hard training I have developed the skills I have today. Moreover, the skills can only be said to be comprehensive + good, but they still need to be improved.

    This move is very difficult for him. Although he has talent in this area and can learn this move, which is his most effective way to attack the inside, it took him two or three years to become good at it in college.  Master this move.

    Zhang Hao's current level is definitely not as good as someone who has been practicing for two or three years, but if he has practiced to Zhang Hao's level, it will be at least his sophomore season!

    Seeing Nash coming, Zhang Hao stopped training and stepped forward and said: "Steve, thank you for teaching me this move. This move is very unique."

    Nash asked in confusion: "Akers, how did you do this?"

    "You taught me that!" Zhang Hao felt that Nash was a little strange.

    "I just demonstrated it a few times a few days ago and you learned it?"

    "Thank you very much, Steve, you taught me well."

    "You can figure it out just by looking at it like that?"

    "Uhyeah, I can figure it out just by looking at it."

 Chapter 324 324. I don¡¯t care what the salary is at all (11,000 words, please vote for me!)

    Training is definitely a boring thing, it is part of the work. When last season just ended, Zhang Hao thought that there would be more than three months, most of which would be spent training, that is, working. Zhang Hao felt that this would be a difficult time.

    But before you know it, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, but I feel like there is still not enough time and there are still a lot of things to practice

    But the new season is already here!

    On September 24, Zhang Hao invited Nash and Rasheed Wallace to lunch. The two left Los Angeles and returned to Portland the next day. Zhang Hao also returned to Inglewood from Manhattan Beach, wearing glasses without lenses.  He put on his glasses and began to memorize the new version of the team manual that the coaching staff had sent him a long time ago.

    The main ones are changes in the lineup and adjustments to the tactical structure.

    The new teammates have already gotten to know each other. Some of them are relatively familiar, like Rick Fox, who is purely cheeky and familiar with them. The other new teammates are just acquaintances.

    If Zhang Hao remembers the tactical structure adjustment, there will be no big problem.

    In the past two years, he has been studying the "Basic Movement Encyclopedia" repeatedly and has been practicing it. Now, if he only plays the game as a shooter without the ball, a cutting player, and a counterattack player, in most systems, he will  It can be plug and play.

    Of course, the ball-based style of play still needs time to adjust after changing so many teammates and adjusting his personal ball-holding offensive technical structure.

    But his style of play is definitely still off-ball, with Kenny Anderson leading the offense and O'Neal the main attack. His offensive role is still a pure scorer.

    It took Zhang Hao two hours to memorize the entire tactical manual. Britney, who came back from a rare holiday, accepted Silver Fox's benefits, a set of limited edition SD dolls, and helped Silver Fox spot-check Zhang Hao's memory of the tactical manual. Zhang Hao was helpless.  They were randomly tested like an English listening test, and Britney's mouth was filled with laughter!

    "Brother, you are so smart! I was worried that if you read the tactical manual at this time, my SD doll would be taken back by that old fox. Brother, you are great!"

    ""

    "Brother, brother, I will record a single in a few months. Can you help me shoot the MV then? The teacher said that if you are willing to help me shoot the MV, the record sales will definitely be very good!"

    "Is it so direct to gain popularity?"

    "Of course, you are my boss."

    "Okay, okay, okay"

    "Brother, you are so good!"

    "Let go! You're sticking too tight!"

    "mean!"

    ""

    "By the way, brother, the strategy seems to have strengthened O'Neal's role. You have already won FMVP. Why is the strategy not based around you? Instead, it is based around O'Neal?"

    "It's good. My tactical role last year was not as good as this year."

    "oh¡­¡­"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The first day of gathering after returning to the team is still very ceremonial, mainly because we won the championship last season, so this year¡¯s gathering day was chosen at the Great Western Forum Arena.

    The NBA 1996-1997 season championship trophy is placed in the exhibition cabinet in the lobby of the Great Western Forum Arena.

    Currently, 6 of the Lakers' 12 championship trophies are in the office of the executive vice president of business in the Lakers' office area at the Great Western Forum Arena, which is also the office of Jeannie Buss, and 5 are placed in Time Warner training  In the president's office of the stadium, the latest acquisition will be displayed here until the start of the regular season, and then moved to Jenny Buss' office.

    At around 7 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hao came to the arena and first came to the lobby to see the trophy.

    I am full of a sense of accomplishment, and I am very eager to have a new championship trophy here by this time next year.

    Zhang Hao wandered around the arena for a while. The arena was the same as last year. It was dilapidated and old. There were areas undergoing maintenance again today. Just like last year at this time, there were areas that needed repairs every now and then.

    After walking around for a while, Zhang Hao came to the home team¡¯s training ground, went to the locker room to change his jersey, warm up, and train From the moment he returns to the team, the new season begins.

    The gathering time arranged by the coaching staff was 9 o'clock in the morning. Zhang Hao was practicing. When it was close to 8:30, his teammates came to the arena one after another, and no one disturbed his training.

    Excepta fat man who finally arrived at the arena.

    Others either didn¡¯t want to disturb Zhang Hao, or didn¡¯t dare to talk to him, but the fat man took a ball directly to the half court where Zhang Hao was practicing sideline three-pointers. His huge size scared the caddy who was serving the ball and backed away.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In the 2000-01 season, Zhang Hao's salary was US$20.34 million, and so was O'Neal.

    After the Lakers learned that Zhang Hao was going to have a short-term contract, they immediately gave him a salary comparable to O'Neal. In the past three years, Garnett's salary was US$14 million, US$16.81 million, and US$19.61 million respectively. Zhang Hao's salary was higher than that of O'Neal.  Garnett is taller!

    There is no way to compare later. In the 2001-02 season, O'Neal's salary was 21.43 million U.S. dollars, and Garnett's salary was 22.63 million U.S. dollars. There is no way to compare in the last two years.

    But that¡¯s not important anymore, the point is ¨C Zhang Hao¡¯s salary during the same period was higher than Kevin Garnett!

    The media titled this contract extension quoted Zhang Hao¡¯s words in an interview ¨C ¡°I don¡¯t care at all how much my salary is¡±!

 Chapter 325 325. The strongest number one pick in history?  (Please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass for 6K!)

    "Akers, did you have any trouble asking for a higher salary than Garnett?"

    "I asked for it? I didn't ask for it. I said I wanted a three-year contract, and Miss Bass directly filled in the salary for me.

    We only spent 20 minutes negotiating the contract, and 18 minutes were spent by my agent and Mr. West complimenting each other.  "

    After the contract renewal, Zhang Hao¡¯s interviews were still concise and to the point, and he told the truth.

    But it aroused the pride of the Lakers!

    Zhang Hao will earn 15 million starting from the fourth year of his career, which is the same as O'Neal's salary. He is said to be worthy. The Lakers are praised and said to be even.

    Also in the fourth year of his career, he will receive more than 10 million U.S. dollars. Garnett received 14 million and was ridiculed by the crowd. The Timberwolves were criticized and disrupted the market, becoming a thorn in the side of the owners of major teams with poor salary conditions.  .

    The eyes of the masses are sharp, they are so upright and do not have double standards at all.

    ??In people¡¯s eyes, the Lakers want to give Zhang Hao a higher salary than Garnett to help Zhang Hao save face.

    In fact, the last three years of Garnett's big contract are the highlight. The total salary in the three years after the contract is 75 million, which is more than Pippen in his peak year.

    But under the publicity of the press release, what people saw was that Zhang Hao¡¯s salary was higher than Garnett¡¯s!

    However, under such public opinion, Zhang Hao received such a salary. Some experts commented that the two best players of the "95 Golden Generation" will make the negotiation of the labor agreement more difficult and will inevitably affect the freedom of the people in the next few years.  The market becomes more chaotic.

    It¡¯s not just the players who are about to renew or renew their contracts in advance during the four years of 1993-96 who are affected. Perhaps Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Billups, and Antonio Daniels from the 1997 class have not yet started their rookie seasons but signed in the summer.  Talents who have received three-year rookie contracts will also see a large number of player moves by 2000.

    The Timberwolves' behavior is seen as purely "sacrifice oneself and achieve others." In the offseason when young players are flooding into the free market, teams without high-paid players, regardless of the size of the market, will usher in the draft.  In addition, it is another opportunity to get talented young players who have been trained by other teams.

    ¡­¡­

    Training camp is over and preseason is about to begin.

    The Lakers have 7 preseason games this year, the first two are at home, then two consecutive away games, and finally the home and away games alternate.

    The opponents are not strong. As the defending champion, the league did not arrange the popular opponents in the preseason. The Lakers' most popular game was placed in the opening game-October 31st, against the Bulls at home.

    The Clippers will be played at home on the 10th, the Warriors will be played at home on the 13th, the Mavericks will be played away on the 16th, the Clippers will be played away on the 18th, the Kings will be played at home on the 21st, the Kings will be played away on the 23rd, and the Rockets will be played at home on the 25th.

    During the training camp, the Lakers have made preparations for the preseason. They have a day off on the 8th, and the 9th is the free practice time for the players.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s three-year contract extension worth US$53 million surprised his teammates but not unexpectedly.

    The young superstar's contract extension is only for three years, which surprised his teammates.

    It has been one day since the contract was renewed, and many media and experts have already analyzed the reasons why Zhang Hao renewed his contract for three years.

    The mainstream view is that this is to maximize Zhang Hao's personal interests.

    After the rookie contract is over, after the rookie contract is over, Zhang Hao is only 21 and a half years old. Three years later, at the age of 24 and a half, he can sign a 6-7 year contract, and then he will be in his early 30s. If he maintains good condition, he can sign another one.  A 6-7 year contract, and there is no need to gamble on the status when you are thirty-three or four years old.

    After all, the vast majority of stars and even superstars will experience a cliff-like decline in their 30s.

    The three-year, 53 million contract still seems exaggerated, because with Garnett for comparison, people always look at Garnett's entire contract in terms of the amount of his entire contract, and Zhang Hao's salary in the first three years was higher than Garnett's.  .

    But teammates were not surprised. When Garnett renewed his contract, although the Lakers did not publicly discuss how Zhang Hao would renew his contract, there were still discussions in private circles.

    Zhang Hao got a contract with the same salary as O'Neal in the second to fourth years of the contract. His teammates thought it was just right. They were worried that there was a commotion in the team because of the salary issue. Now that the two have the same salary, it is just right.

    Just like the Sonics, Kemp is clamoring for a bigger contract than Payton, causing chaos within the Sonics team. Trading Kemp for Vin Baker doesn't seem to make any difference. Vin Baker also wants a bigger contract, but  Unlike Kemp who talks about it every day.

    Zhang Hao will most likely not make a fuss, but if his salary is higher than O'Neal, the team willsp;The combination of Kenny Anderson, Brent Barry, Brian Shaw, Zhang Hao, and Jason Williams is mainly responsible for offense. Brent Barry's plug-and-play characteristics allow Kenny to  -Anderson and Zhang Hao feel very comfortable

    Therefore, the Lakers played calmly in the preseason, and the main players did not play much. Most of the time was spent inspecting and training young players and role players, and they did not perform a performance that could arouse enthusiasm.

    In the first five preseason games, the Lakers had 3 wins and 2 losses, and they didn¡¯t care so much about winning or losing.

    On October 22nd, the Lakers came to Sacramento and took a day off. On the morning of the 23rd, the Lakers came to Arco Arena, and the sixth game of the preseason arrived.

    After the preparations in the morning, at noon, the entire Lakers team went to a restaurant near the arena for dinner.

    When he came out of the gate, Zhang Hao looked at the billboard, and on a whim, he sneaked up next to O'Neal, bumped O'Neal with his arm, and said, "Hey, look, the strongest No. 1 pick in history."

    O¡¯Neal angrily lifted Zhang Hao away and roared: ¡°The strongest No. 1 pick in history is in front of you!¡±

    After yelling, O'Neal gritted his teeth and looked at the billboard in front of the Arco Arena.

    Seeing Zhang Hao suddenly teasing O'Neal again, his teammates were not surprised.

    Although the frequency is not high, Zhang Hao always makes a certain teammate angry at certain moments, and Kenny Anderson is no exception.

    The one who has been hit the most times is O'Neal.

    ?????????????????? But the Kings really don¡¯t give up any dignity in order to sell tickets.

    On October 31st, the Kings¡¯ opening game will be against the 76ers at home. The Kings¡¯ promotional title is ¨C against Tim Duncan, the strongest No. 1 pick in history!

 Chapter 326 326. A new chapter (5K monthly votes requested)

    The strongest No. 1 pick in NBA history, what this title represents is too heavy.

    No matter where the saying that the No. 1 pick is likely to be imported comes from, in fact, the No. 1 pick has the highest probability of success among all draft picks. In this era where almost all No. 1 picks have played in the NCAA for at least two years.  , even more so.

    When it comes to the strongest No. 1 pick, there are so many that can be thought of, including Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon including O'Neal, who will wear his first championship ring in a few days.

    For a No. 1 pick who has yet to play in the regular season, such an evaluation is tantamount to praise!

    The major champion shows will regard it as a nail in the eyes, and the champion is the highest success rate. Now the champion of the NBA is still playing in the NBA.

    This evaluation may even cause internal strife in the 76ers teambut no media will care. At this time, the news must be written in this way to attract more eyeballs.

    Fortunately, at least from the preseason, Iverson did not resist having such a strong teammate. In the first 5 preseason games, Duncan got 19, 16, 18, 21, and 14 shooting opportunities respectively.  , averaging 24.4 points, 16 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.2 blocks in 5 games, showing his impressive strength to the world wantonly.

    O'Neal had long been dissatisfied with Duncan's evaluation. As a result, the Kings shamelessly used such advertising slogans in order to sell tickets. Zhang Hao even used this to tease him about his hostility towards the No. 1 pick wearing the 76ers' No. 21 jersey.  Don't be too strong!

    That night, the Kings suffered a disaster. Although it was a preseason game, O'Neal played 30 minutes, making 14 of 16 shots, plus 6 of 10 free throws. He scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, beating Alden Pauley.  Nice didn¡¯t even want to play.

    After the game, O'Neal accepted an interview and said: "In a game of this level in the preseason, you can get 30+ in any game."

    Although Duncan averaged 24.4 points in the first five games, he really never scored 30+ points in the first five games.

    On the 76ers side, when the Lakers were playing the Kings, they were also playing an away game against the Pistons, and coincidentally, they scored 31 points.

    After knowing what O¡¯Neal said after the game, Duncan seemed calm on the surface, but in his heart he said ¡°f*ck¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Sure enough, O'Neal, who returned to Los Angeles the next day, learned that Duncan had just scored 30+ before he said those words, and he went crazy.

    This slap in the face makes a slap!

    Everyone knew that what he said was aimed at Duncan, but Duncan had just scored 31 points before he said that.

    Anyway, O'Neal just felt that the new No. 1 pick was against him!

    In addition, there is an unnamed high school rookie wearing No. 8 jersey next to him, fanning the flames

    This bridge is closed!

    After returning to Los Angeles to rest for a day, the Lakers ushered in their last preseason game.

    In this game, the Lakers need to truly test the results of running-in, determine the direction to strengthen and adjust for the next five days of rest, and prepare for the opening game with the Bulls five days later.

    Unfortunately, among the six signed training camp contract players, there is not even one player that the Lakers are willing to spend 100,000 US dollars to support for two months, but it doesn't matter, the 15th spot is empty.  It was originally used to prepare for unexpected situations. They are not afraid that when they need players, no veteran will take the initiative to buy out and join.

    On the night when rings are handed out and championship banners are raised, there is no room for error and we must strive to win. The last game of the preseason is quite important. We must play hard and enter the state of the real season.

    The Rockets still theoretically have the ability to make the playoffs. Olajuwon, Divac, Drexler, Kevin Willis, Eddie Johnson, just look at these people, the names of the star group  It's still very loud. Although everyone except Divac is a bit older, entering the playoffs should not be a big problem.

    But the game was not that difficult. O'Neal continued his enthusiasm when playing the Kings. He played 37 minutes and made 14 of 22 shots, plus 8 of 14 free throws. He scored 36 points, 17 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks, leading the Lakers.  The team defeated the Rockets 112-95 in a crushing manner, with the largest point difference reaching 24 points. The Silver Fox let loose in the last few minutes of the final quarter.

    Although it was not quite what we expected, at least we saw what the team looked like when O'Neal was at full strength. The Silver Fox was quite satisfied with O'Neal's status this year.

    The regret is that Olajuwon has deteriorated seriously. O'Neal, David Robinson, and Mourning all suffered serious injuries last season. They suffered too many injuries or were reimbursed. Olajuwon can take advantage of this opportunity to get the second team.  , and even almost got it for a while, just more than ten points behind Patrick Ewing, but this year, Olajuwon was in trouble. Facing the focused and irritable O'Neal, he couldn't even parry, and only made 14 shots.  5???It's a very heart-warming thing, because he knows that Zhang Hao is a busy man. He has been training and working all summer, so he took time to give him a birthday cake

    This time, Zhang Hao invited him to watch the Lakers¡¯ opening game!

    Yao Ming has come to the United States. Of course, the one he is most interested in is the nearest Zhang Hao and his Lakers team. He also learned about the ticket price for the Lakers' opening game If you can't get a ticket, the front row ticket is even more expensive.

    But Zhang Hao gave him a ticket for the second row directly opposite the technical table!

    Although they are not in the first row, except for Britney, the group of people having lunch at Zhang Hao¡¯s house all have tickets in the second row!

    Britney has to sit in the first row because of her work needs and show her face. There is no need for others to sit in the first row. Zhang Hao went to get the second row of tickets.

    After all, when Zhang Hao went to ask for the tickets and said he wanted 8 tickets, he saw Jenny Buss trembling, and the "8 tickets for the first row" he was about to say changed to "8  Individually, one person needs first row tickets."

    The Lakers management felt what the Bulls management felt in last year's Finals - is this something a human being can do?

    ¡­¡­

    At 5:40 in the evening, the season opener between the Lakers and the Bulls was about to begin. The court at the Great Western Forum Arena was full of people. Most of the people were wearing special edition Lakers opener jerseys with "nba-  A purple or yellow T-shirt with the words "champion" and the Lakers logo and team name.

    When it¡¯s time for players to appear, the visiting team¡¯s players will appear first.

    The starting lineup of Rodman, Robert Horry, Luke Longley, Ron Harper, and Jordan appeared successively.

    Jordan turned a deaf ear. After the spotlight at the away team's tunnel dimmed and the home team's tunnel spotlight came on, he stared at that side.

    Except for Pippen leaving, the Bulls' main players in other positions are basically the same players from last season, maintaining most of the stability. The Bulls' old players are full of hostility to the Lakers.

    There are exceptions. When the Bulls' No. 3 overall pick looked at the opponent, he was full of curiosity.

    He has seen the Lakers superstars on TV, but has never really met them. During the preseason, every time he meets a powerful star he meets for the first time, he will be very curious.

    The difference this time is that his eyes are wider.

    "Welcome the best center in the world, Shaquille O'Neal!"

    Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, O'Neal was the first to run out of the player tunnel, with a proud expression, but with a little unwillingness, he temporarily chose to accept the reality.

    ? followed by Doug Christie, Kenny Anderson, and Rick Fox.

    "Welcome, the best basketball player in the world, our gentleman, Akers"

    The cheers at the scene exploded!

    When the Bulls heard this introduction, many players were furious, and all the unwillingness and anger from last season's finals defeat emerged.

    Even the newly joined players Robert Horry, Scott Burrell and others were driven by the emotions of their teammates and shared the same hatred.

    But that No. 1 pick was still very different from his teammates. He really opened his eyes completely this time and was full of shock!

    Although the Lakers won the championship last season, judging from current public opinion, the vast majority of people still regard Jordan as the best player, the number one active player in terms of strength and honor.

    It¡¯s not a good idea to anger Jordan, but the other party

    Rookie Tanhua is a bit messy - "Introducing another person as the best player in the world in front of Jordan?"

    Zhang Hao felt a little helpless when he ran out This introduction not only aroused the hatred of his opponents, but he also had a fat man in his family with his nostrils flaring and steaming out

    But it sounds comfortable!

    If you have shouted it out, then try your best to achieve it.

    At this moment, Zhang Hao once again confirmed his truest thoughts - to become the best, to become a big star, to become the most anticipated player in the basketball world!

    It was dark on the opposite side, and Jordan's expression could not be seen. Zhang Hao felt a little regretful.

    After the Lakers players entered the stadium, the lights gradually turned on and returned to normal lighting. By this time, Jordan had put away his anger and returned to his normal expression.

    The entrance ceremony is over and it¡¯s time for official greetings again. It¡¯s the first game of the new season. It¡¯s a battle between opponents in last season¡¯s finals. There are so many stars on both teams, and the topic is so high We always have to make small talk, after all.  The two teams only have a grudge on the court, and the grudge is about victory and defeat, not the kind of fighting.

    Jordan took the initiative and said to Zhang Hao: "Congratulations, Akers, for winning your first championship."

    He was not as stingy as he was after losing the tiebreaker last year. After losing the tiebreaker last year, Jordan left without saying a word. That was because the negative emotions were uncontrollable like the explosion of a nuclear bomb.

    With a 3-1 lead and a comeback, who can immediately have a good word with their opponent?

    Now, Jordan still hates the players on the opposite side. He was overturned after leading 3 to 1. This hatred will be unforgettable in his life.

    As for the fact that he defeated his opponent to win the championship in 1991, those are two different things. The one who wins first is not the winner.

    He still has to maintain his grace now and not let the other party see the joke.

    But what he said was very targeted.

    Zhang Hao responded: "Thank you, Mr. Jordan, the first championship is wonderful. I hope it is not one, two or three."

    It¡¯s very direct, very high-profile, and it¡¯s aimed at Jordan¡¯s four championships.

    Jordan shrugged, without comment, and went to say hello to the members of the Lakers who won the championship last season and the Lakers stars who came to watch the game today.

    Jordan ignored the other Lakers players on the court, including O'Neal.

    As soon as O'Neill's strange emotion emerged, a gentleman came up next to him.

    "Shaq, look, Jordan actually ignored you. You are the strongest center in history!"

    These words felt comfortable to O'Neill, and they came from Zhang Hao's mouth, which made them even more comfortable No.

    O'Neal said sourly: "You said a few days ago that the rookie was the strongest No. 1 pick!"

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say it, it was written on the billboard.¡±

    "Yesyes"

    O'Neal thought about it and found that he had never heard Zhang Hao praise other centers as the strongest without any reason. He had always only praised him.

    Zhang Hao overcame Jordan's little trick in an understatement and took advantage of it in turn. O'Neal's dissatisfaction was now focused on Jordan, who ignored him.

    The rest of the Bulls didn't have such a good attitude towards the Lakers. They exchanged casual greetings and then returned to the bench. What was going to happen next was a scene of hatred for the old Bulls players and the new players.  Something to envy.

    In the Lakers' opening game of the new season, there is one very important thing - the awarding of championship rings.

    Tonight, the Great Western Forum Arena is glittering with stars. Local dignitaries, Hollywood stars, Grammy-level singers there are a lot of them. Britney Spears, a contracted artist under Zhang Hao's entertainment company, is among them.  A big shot showed up, and many people in front of the TV had an impression of this sweet-looking girl.

    Previously, the media also photographed Zhang Hao taking a little sister shopping for clothes. Later, Britney became a disciple of the singing giant Whitney Houston, which also attracted some attention. This time the Lakers awarded the championship ring.  On opening night, Britney had a good appearance.

    After Zhang Hao had a little chat with Jordan and O'Neal, he also went out of his way to take a photo with Britney.

    As the boss, Zhang Hao can only do so much.

    Many superstars in the history of the Lakers also came, and some celebrities from other teams came to watch the fun, including Elgin Baylor, general manager of the Clippers team in the same city.

    This reminded Jordan, who went to chat, of the painful scene when Magic came back last season - a group of Lakers stars directly came in to teach the Lakers how to play the game.

    Fortunately, it is no different now than at that time. The Lakers team at that time was as new and strange as it was. The current Lakers team is already a mature team.

    A few days before the start of the season??'s body, such as Jordan, Kobe and other outside players who are not inferior to power forwards in strength.

    By coincidence, Zhang Hao is an insider, and his arm

    McGrady felt as if his chest had hit an iron rod!

    A violent crushing breakthrough!  There is no skill at all, just crushing to break through!

    When Zhang Hao broke into the paint, Robert Horry, who was filling in on the left baseline, got out of the way. After Zhang Hao crushed McGrady, he raised his left arm completely, waved his arm to protect the ball, and went straight to the basket!

    O'Neal reacted and ran away. Luke Longley really didn't expect McGrady to be dealt with so easily. When he wanted to escape, a big "8" was pressed on his face!

    "Bang"

    Zhang Hao rushed McGrady straight to the basket and smashed the ball into the basket through Luke Longley!

    At this time, the system prompt came

    Zhang Hao did not look immediately, but immediately turned around and retreated. When passing by McGrady, whose eyes were open, Zhang Hao slowed down, paused, and said:

    "Rookie, the game has begun, but don't stop!"

 Chapter 328 328. The beginning of Remy Martin¡¯s rule!  (13,000 words please subscribe!)

    "The new season has begun, and another group of talented rookies have entered the NBA. Special contract player Zhang Hao wants to continue to become a nightmare that hangs over the rookies Long-term mission: Trigger the rookies' nightmare."

    ¡°The rookie¡¯s nightmare:

    Trigger target: Tracy McGrady, the third overall pick in the first round of 1997.

    Goal: When Zhang Hao and Tracy McGrady are both on the court, Zhang Hao must guard Tracy McGrady throughout the game. At the end of the game, Zhang Hao must have higher scores, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals than Tracy McGrady.  Grady.

    Reward: How much does Zhang Hao¡¯s total value of five statistics exceed Tracy McGrady, and how many days of lifespan does the host gain? Advanced reward: If Zhang Hao¡¯s Lakers team wins the game, and Zhang Hao¡¯s total value of five statistics exceeds Tracy-  When McGrady reaches 20, he will receive an additional Bronze Draw and his reward lifespan will be doubled.  "

    A gentleman takes revenge and strikes back immediately!

    After notifying McGrady that the game had started, Zhang Hao ran back to the backcourt and looked at the newly triggered tasks while running.

    Regardless of whether this task is triggered or not, he will still fuck Tracy McGrady!

    The cheers of the fans at the scene have not stopped since Zhang Hao called out McGrady.

    Yao Ming saw with his own eyes Zhang Hao, who was only a few centimeters shorter than him, holding the ball from outside and dunking hard. His eyes almost popped out. This was much more amazing than what he saw on TV!

    Yao Ming also watched the live broadcast of the tiebreaker in last season's finals. Now I have an intuitive experience for comparison, and I know that Zhang Hao's performance that night was even more terrifying than it looked on the TV!

    McGrady has good defensive enthusiasm, quick reactions, and good talent, but his experience and judgment ability are too poor. His action of pushing forward did not have any blocking effect on Zhang Hao, and it also allowed Zhang Hao to break through without any scruples, resulting in  None of his teammates could help defend, causing Luke Longley to be docked.

    Hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s words and seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s back, McGrady, who had guessed the strength gap between himself and Zhang Hao before the game, now knows how big the gap between himself and Zhang Hao is!  The excitement of dunking on Zhang Hao just now was gone.

    Even, McGrady felt that her body was shaking

    He quickly filtered through all the possibilities in his mind. In one-on-one, he found that there was no possibility for him to stop Zhang Hao!

    His golf IQ may be higher than his teammates think. He clearly feels that Zhang Hao's ball control is as good as outside. Coupled with that terrifying power, even if his explosive speed is average, there is no possibility that he can stop him.  Zhang Hao broke through.

    McGrady thought there was a gap, but the gap was too big!  Only two years old!  Zen Master has said that his Mai's strength is as good as many high-ranking rookies who have played in college for two or three years.

    "Is this the youngest scoring champion in history? Is this the youngest FMVP in history?"

    McGrady panicked and felt that he was in big trouble. Even if he was the kind of person who was willing to accept reality, at this moment he felt that the situation he was about to face would be unbearable.

    Luke Longley, who ran to the frontcourt, came up and patted McGrady on the back, helping McGrady calm down.

    The referee had already started counting down the serve for 5 seconds. McGrady turned around to receive Jordan's serve and advanced towards the frontcourt It was actually Jordan's serve?

    Running across half court, McGrady watched Zhang Hao guard the top arc. From the moment Jordan served, he knew what Jordan meant.

    Ask him to call back!

    McGrady suppressed his uneasiness and faced Zhang Hao to look for breakthrough opportunities and found that they were all opportunities!  When he was feinting, Zhang Hao didn't move. McGrady was confident in his first three steps. His first three steps were faster and faster. He was confident that his explosive power and explosive speed were better than Zhang Hao's.

    There was no hesitation. After making the judgment, Tracy McGrady immediately broke through to the right!

    Zhang Hao began to move after clarifying McGrady's breakthrough line. He confronted McGrady half-step on the right side of the top arc. At the moment of the confrontation, he put his left arm across his stomach McGrady was ready for the confrontation.  He took the second step in the situation and was almost knocked over in the confrontation. Fortunately, he controlled the ball very well and was able to protect the ball.

    The referee didn¡¯t blow the whistle!  Zhang Hao didn't move his elbow to block the opponent, nor did he use force to push against the opponent. It was just a reasonable confrontation while moving sideways. McGrady almost fell down when he bumped into him.

    Zhang Hao did not press forward. He saw that McGrady was very stable in protecting the ball when he was almost knocked over. Pressing forward might give this talented 18-year-old rookie a chance to turn around and break through.

    Sure enough, Tracy McGrady controlled the ball, and when Zhang Hao stood still, he sent the ball out to Jordan, who had just ran out to the right side of the three-second zone.

    Jordan originally thought McGrady was going to lose the ball, so he rushed out, received McGrady's pass, and had the opportunity to turn over and hit a jumper!

    &nbThere was no scoring in the last 44 seconds, but the Bulls didn't score either.

    When Kukoc made a three-pointer, Zhang Hao collected the rebound, pushed past halftime, and stopped playing. The Bulls did not implement foul tactics and did not play!

    Amid the wild cheers of the fans at the scene, the last 14 seconds ended

    O'Neal had 28 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, Zhang Hao had 32 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, Kenny Anderson had 18 points and 6 assists The Big Three of the Lakers beat Jordan's 42 points and 9 assists.  Defeated the Bulls 110-105 and won the opening game!

    Jordan looked at the Lakers on the opposite side. The R¨¦my Martin duo worked better together than last season, the Lakers veteran players had a better understanding, and their numbers tonight that the Bulls didn't grab didn't look good, but their offense and defense were good.  Rick Fox is good at both ends

    The Bulls have indeed declined now, a loteven the rotation has not actually done its best. Tonight Steve Kerr played 8 minutes in the third quarter. Due to lineup changes and McGrady's performance,  The reason why they expected to be better is that the rotation of the Bulls in the first game was actually affected. It was basically a rotation that Zen Master found a way to make on the spot. It was very effective, but it may not have fully utilized the strength of their high-quality role player lineup.  come out.

    In other words, the Bulls are finally going to experience the pain of running-in at the beginning like other teams!

    Thinking about it, Jordan still feels a little nostalgic

    We lost, there was nothing we could do, the Remy Martin combination on the opposite side was really too strong.

    What makes Jordan feel hopeful, apart from the fact that he is still in good condition after losing Pippen and still has room for improvement, is their talented high school student Tracy McGrady.

    McGrady felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this time. He could only open his eyes wide and look at the senior high school student opposite him who was being interviewed after the game Although he had no ambitions, he just wanted to compete with the best player in history.  Strong high school students have a good fight!

    But at this time, he could only look at Zhang Hao¡¯s back

    Post-game interviews, press conferences, exclusive interviews It was already 11 o'clock when Zhang Hao got home after finishing these things.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao helped the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Chicago Bulls as a main player, and the host received a total of 5 days of life bonus."

    ¡°The rookie¡¯s nightmare:

    Trigger target: Tracy McGrady, the third overall pick in the first round of 1997.

    Goal: When Zhang Hao and Tracy McGrady are both on the court, Zhang Hao must guard Tracy McGrady throughout the game. At the end of the game, Zhang Hao must have higher scores, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals than Tracy McGrady.  Grady.

    Special contract player Zhang Hao's game statistics: played 39 minutes and 47 seconds, 32 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, total value 53; Tracy McGrady's game statistics: played 18 minutes, 8 points and 2 rebounds  2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, total value 14.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: a life span of 39 days. Because it meets the advanced reward conditions, the host will receive an additional 39 days of life reward and an additional bronze lottery draw.  "

    ¡°A night you can¡¯t lose:

    Goal: Under the guidance of his host, Zhang Hao needs to help his Lakers win the opening game of the 1997-1998 regular season.  (110 to 105, win, completed.)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 10 days of life.  "

    "The remaining life span is 1132 days and the available life span is 1131 days."

    Eye was staring for a summer, and most of them also used the simulation training mode for double the life. The total life expectancy has fallen below 1000 days, and now it has finally stabilized.

    1 Bronze Lottery, keep saving. The number and opportunities of Bronze Lottery played a huge role in last year¡¯s playoffs. I don¡¯t know if these lottery times will also be necessary for the special use of certain card props in the future.  Taste.

    He reviewed the game in the early morning. There was a lot to be excited about in the first game of the new season.

    We finally played against McGrady. Unfortunately, McGrady is not strong enough, otherwise it would be more interesting.

    However, putting aside this small regret, it feels great to play against Jordan again!

    In terms of personal performance, he feels that neither he nor O'Neal can compare with Jordan. The number one active player who is about to turn 35 is indeed too good.

    He was actually worried before the game that Pippen would be traded away and the Bulls would collapse. Although Pippen's performance this season was not good in the original time and space, it was better than nothing.

    "But now it seems that with the addition of Robert Horry, Tracy McGrady, and Scott Burrell, the Bulls are okay.

    Of course, the Lakers are obviously stronger, and Jordan even worked hard, with 42 points and 9 assists It was really shocking, but the Lakers still made a strong effort in the second half of the fourth quarter and took the game away.  .

    The Bulls can see that there is still room for improvement, which makes Zhang Hao very excited. He likes to meet this opponent.

    It¡¯s definitely not entirely because he faced Jordan with 9 wins and 4 losses

    What excites him most is the state of his own team.

    Facing the attrition defense of Luke Longley and Rodman, O'Neal still made 11 of 19 shots, plus 6 of 10 free throws, scoring 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists!

    Although Zhang scored 32 points, in the final quarter when he needed to perform, he only raised the score with 10 points in a single quarter.

    In regular time, O'Neal is indeed stronger than him and is more suitable to be the main attacking point in regular time.

    He is more suitable to use O'Neal's singles distribution and scoring threats to shoot and pass.

    During the summer, he was thinking about how to cooperate better with O'Neal. In the first full-out game of the new season, he felt that he did a good job.

    This would have been possible without the additions of Rick Fox and Brent Barry, who were highly qualified for their team, as well as Kenny Anderson distributing the ball and Jason Williams and Doug Christie doing the dirty work.  Wherever there is a shortage of people in the three outside positions of Tikuo and Brian Shaw

    When he, O'Neal, Kenny Anderson, Rick Fox, Doug Christie, Jason Williams, Brian Shaw, and Brent Barry came on the court, the chemistry was really good!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers won the first game, and their performance was really surprising!

    The style of play has become more sophisticated than last season. O'Neal started in good shape and Kenny Anderson performed better in the latter part of the regular season compared to last season.

    The most eye-catching one is Zhang Hao, with 8 assists in a single game

    ??It¡¯s not like last season where he occasionally broke out and got multiple assists. When Zhang Hao got assists, he got them in tactics as a high-post support point, a baseline single to score the ball, and a catch-and-second pass when running.More.

    Of course he deserves it, and he has put pressure on all the strong teams in the league from the incoming new forces.

    Larry Brown can't do anything else. He is too strong in defense. With Campbell protecting the frame and Duncan sweeping mid-range and short range, he can even make up for the defense beyond the three-point line. On the outside, he has a striker from the defending champion Lakers.  George Lynch, at this time, even Iverson's defensive efficiency of gambling steals has been greatly improved.

    The 76ers have suddenly become another first-class team in the Iron-blooded era and even have the potential to grow into a top defensive team.

    But this doesn¡¯t have much impact on the Lakers. After O¡¯Neal won the first week of the week, maintained the face of the Mesozoic stars, and maintained the face of the veteran center, it didn¡¯t matter anymore.

    Winning the Best of the Week is rare in this era when the Best of the Week does not distinguish between East and West. Not only must you perform well, but you must also be lucky. Last season, Zhang Hao and Jordan only won the Best of the Week three times, and MVP Malone  Only 4 times.

    And even if Duncan got it later, O'Neal got one first.

    After coming to Dallas to rest for a night, the Lakers began a three-game road trip to Texas on November 8.

    "I want Kobe!"

    This sentence seems to be written on the sign of the Mavericks Arena.

    The Mavericks started with 0 wins and 4 losses, averaging 82.5 points per game and conceding 103 points per game

    At the beginning of the new NCAA season, Kobe Bryant scored 31 points in the first game of the new season on behalf of Duke University. In the second game, he scored 18 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals

    Michael Olowokandi scored 18 points, 22 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals in the first game, and 31 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks in the second game

    Six days before the new NCAA season, the battle for the best college student in the United States has already begun.

    Kobe Bryant is like the new Michael Jordan, and Michael Olowokandi¡¯s senior season is like the new Hakeem Olajuwon. These two may participate in the draft at the same time next year.

    This led to a direct change in the goals of many teams at the beginning of the new season.

    There is another impact. The 76ers have been very successful

    It¡¯s the turn of the Western Conference. Many teams in the Western Conference failed immediately at the beginning of the season. The Mavericks were one of them. They lost to the Jazz 92-95 in the first game. When Kobe Bryant scored 31 points and Olowo scored 31 points in the first game, the Mavericks were one of them.  After Candy scored 18 points and 22 rebounds, the Mavericks went into bad mode in the second game.

    It is impossible for the three Texas teams to become the triangle of death in the future in a short time.

    Zhang Hao scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, O'Neal had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, Jason Williams had 6 points and 14 rebounds, Kenny Anderson had 17 points and 11 assists The Lakers were stable at 109 to 91.  Defeated the Mavericks steadily and started with 4 consecutive victories. The performance was stable and the momentum was good.

    Van Exel and Eddie Jones looked at the players opposite and were very reluctant, but they had no choice. Their teammates when they were in the Lakers at the same time have all been changed.

    The current Lakers team has the names of Zhang Hao, O'Neal, and Kenny Anderson.

    ¡­¡­

    After 3 easy games, finally, another opponent appeared that put pressure on the Lakers - the Spurs, who had introduced Pippen and David Robinson and were in pretty good shape after their comeback!

    Zhang Hao has been waiting for this opponent for a long time, but he is very confused Is it necessary to use the general card to enable special usage in the game against the Spurs?

    ¡­¡­

 Chapter 330 330. If the start is too smooth, you must find some excitement (12,000 words, please vote for me!)

    If you haven¡¯t received it, it certainly doesn¡¯t count as loss.

    Zhang Hao didn't see a trace of sadness from the Spurs players and head coach. When he went out to buy souvenirs last night, he heard a small group of fans excitedly saying that David Robinson had the strongest helper in his career  Zhang Hao was very pleased with this. It turns out that only ignorance can lead to happiness.

    At 6:10 in the evening on November 10, Zhang Hao and his teammates entered the stadium and took a look at David Robinson's ability evaluation.

    "David Robinson, 32 years old, 216 centimeters, 115 kilograms, ability evaluation 94, offense 95, defense 93, three-point -, 92 mid-range shot, 98 layup, 85 speed, 97 strength, 90 bounce Appeared 4 times  , averaging 36.5 minutes per game, 23.2 points, 11 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal, and 2.5 blocks per gameshooting 48.6%"

    The Spurs coaching staff, players, and fans are very excited. Zhang Hao thinks there is a reason. David Robinson is recovering well indeed. Under the treatment of Cleveland's sports neuromedicine experts, his ankle injury has recovered and he is in excellent condition after his comeback. 95-  The injury at the end of the 1996 season not only cost David Robinson a year at his peak, but also caused his athletic ability to decline a bit when he reached the age of 32.  Schroeder, a big figure in the medical field of the institute, and the attending doctor in Cleveland had multiple consultations, and no sequelae were left.

    ¡°Anyway, the treatment and rehabilitation that took nearly a year from mid-November last year to now have nothing to do with the San Antonio hospital and the Spurs team doctor.

    The MVP-level performance of 25 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.4 steals per game in the season before he was reimbursed is far behind. From the 1995-96 season, he was basically the second player in the league during the regular season and fell below the super line.  But at the age of 32, he has recovered very well. At least he has not experienced the cliff-like decline that most veterans in their 30s who have suffered serious injuries have.

    And it can be seen that he has not been idle during the foot injury. His mid-range shooting is better. His speed and jumping have declined, but his strength and weight have improved.

    Not to mention being defeated in the playoffs, David Robinson is really an excellent player.

    "Scottie Pippen, 32 years old, 203 cm, 98 kg, ability evaluation 89, 87 offense, 92 defense, 77 three-pointers, 85 mid-range shots, 95 layups, 90 speed, 87 strength, 88 jumping played.  4 times, averaging 38 minutes per game, 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per game"

    Pippen, like most stars, naturally declines after a summer after turning 30.

    There is the impact of back injuries. As early as two years after Jordan retired, Pippen missed 8 games due to back injuries in one season. He was only 28 years old at the time and recovered quickly. This summer, there were rumors that he was suffering from back injuries and was undergoing treatment.

    No matter what the reason was, what Zhang Hao saw was that the 32-year-old Pippen had declined a lot compared to the 31-year-old.

    Mainly reflected in scoring, rebounding, and defense, this Pippen's performance is still very stable, relying on the organization of the offense, there is no problem, mainly in terms of scoring has dropped a lot.

    ??But this, the Spurs management, coaching staff, players and even fans didn't notice it. They just felt that Pippen had just arrived and the running-in was not good enough.

    In their minds, their mess last season was not considered a success. They finished fourth from the bottom and only got the No. 3 pick. However, they used the No. 3 pick in exchange for Scottie Pippen. After David Robinson was reimbursed,  That year, they successfully introduced Pippen, which was a huge profit.

    Of course, Pippen's current strength is not that he only averages 14.7 points per game. There is still room for improvement. It is true that the running-in is not enough.

    Zhang Hao stayed quietly on the edge and stopped trying to steal the limelight from O'Neal, although even if he stood at the end of the visiting team's bench, there were still many cameras facing him

    O¡¯Neal and David Robinson dislike each other.

    O¡¯Neal has a hatred of the scoring champion. If it weren¡¯t for David Robinson, he would have won the scoring title for two consecutive years. He could also win the scoring title in the second grade like Zhang Hao.

    David Robinson still thinks about this position for a while. In this era where centers are on the decline, Ewing has suffered injuries at his age, and Olajuwon has aged. David Robinson is still in good shape this year and is expected to compete for a while.  , the biggest opponent is O'Neal and the new top pick who calls himself a power forward.

    There are Zhang Hao and Malone at the forward position, and O'Neal and David Robinson at the center position. Duncan's rookie season is full of competition, and the pressure is a bit high

    At 6:30 in the evening, the Lakers played the second game of three consecutive games in Texas against the Spurs.

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    The Spurs sent a combination of Avery Johnson, Vinnie Negro, Pippen, Will Perdo, and David Robinson.

    Before the game?Goal, don¡¯t let down your guard?  Don¡¯t you know to discuss this matter with me?  "

    The Lakers were excited and arrogant, while the Jazz players were very unhappy. They all looked grim when they came out.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the Rockets' opening 15-game winning streak, but only said this when they beat the Jazz. What does it mean?

    Stockton studied the changes in the Lakers' recent games in the afternoon and found that the Lakers have played very indulgently since defeating the Knicks. They were already very high when they beat the Grizzlies and played fast.  The fleet fought blindly

    He also had the same judgment as Silver Fox - Zhang Hao wanted to stimulate his teammates and give them a difficult but capable goal to fight for and achieve an absolutely satisfying goal.

    Stockton did not say this, because if he did not say it, his teammates would be more hostile to the Lakers and their desire to defeat the Lakers would be stronger.

    As for Zhang Hao, he actually didn¡¯t think that much

    It¡¯s a mistake!

    "John Stockton, 35 years old, 185 cm, 77 kg, ability evaluation 91"

    "Karl Malone, 34 years old, 206 cm, 123 kg, ability evaluation 98"

    After reading the evaluation of the abilities of these two veterans, Zhang Hao was speechless. He remembered that Malone could win the MVP in the 1998-99 season, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he felt that it was too exaggerated!

    The most exaggerated thing is that Malone has played more minutes this year than last year. He has averaged 39 minutes per game so far this season. He has taken fewer shots, scored more points, and hit a higher shooting percentage

    Stockton has declined a bit, mainly in terms of physical strength. Last season, Stockton averaged 36 minutes per game. So far in the new season, he has only averaged 28 minutes per game.

    Correspondingly, Stockton's substitute Howard Isley's playing time has almost doubled, averaging 21 minutes per game, scoring 7.4 points and 4.4 assists.

    However, Stockton's declining physical strength is not enough to reduce his playing time by as much as a quarter. In Zhang Hao's impression, Stockton was still averaging about 30 minutes per game a year before his retirement.  Just preparing for the playoffs.

    Taking a deep breath, Zhang Hao knew that their side's enthusiasm had increased, but he had also raised his opponent's enthusiasm to a higher level.

    The difficulty should be increased, but it has been increased!

    At this time, another task prompt came.

    "As a young superstar, you should be considerate of the veterans. The title of Uncrowned King should not be given to veterans. Mission: Uncrowned King? The second phase of the mission is triggered"

 Chapter 331 331. Gentleman¡¯s Time Part 1 (7K monthly vote please!)

    "The uncrowned king? The second stage:

    Goal 1: When Zhang Hao¡¯s team plays against the Jazz in the regular season, they will have an advantage in winning or losing.

    Reward: If the outcome is 3 wins and 1 loss, the host will gain 60 days of life; Advanced reward: If the outcome is 4 wins and 0 losses, the host will get a special card: an opportunity to master the basic skills of CIC.

    Opportunities for mastering the basics of mid-range shooting (*): Use it on signed players who have top-level mid-range shooting (90-94) and have reached their talent ceiling. This player can have the opportunity to break through to a super-top level (95).

    After completing goal 1, you can open goal 2. In the second stage, you will be rewarded with the designated medal: Karl Malone's Elbow Gold Upgrade Card, and the final mission of the Uncrowned King will be opened.  "

    Looking at the newly triggered tasks, Zhang Hao moved his arms involuntarily

    The mission is finally here!

    This is the mission he most wants to trigger when playing against the Jazz!

    Now, the explosive strength of his arms and the confrontation with raised elbows have been able to break through his own limits and achieve a strength evaluation effect of 94 at the top level. However, this effect is not the most powerful. His own strength has also reached 92, which is also very good.  It's so fierce that it has basically reached the limit without gaining weight. Maybe you have not gained weight. As you age, there will be some progress. But if you really want to clearly improve your strength, you still have to rely on weight gain. This  Let¡¯s talk about it in the middle and later stages of my career. Now I¡¯m in my early 20s and I guess that¡¯s it.

    The most powerful bonus of "Malone's Elbow" is that it can reach Karl Malone's peak weight of 127 kilograms!

    At present, there is still a gap between the power of his arm with a strength rating of 94 + 127 kilograms of weight and Malone's power of 100 strength + 123 kilograms of weight.

    However, looking at this task, you know that it is not that easy to complete - you can get 60 days of life after playing 3 to 1 in the regular season. You can tell from the task that this game is not easy!

    Of course, it¡¯s not easy even without a mission.

    Stockton¡¯s physical strength has only declined slightly, and the reduction in playing time is mainly concentrated when playing against weak teams.

    Malone is even a little better than last season, Hornacek is basically the same as last season, Howard Isley, Brian Russell, Shanton Anderson, Ostertag, Greg -  The progress of young players such as Foster can be seen

    Last season, the Lakers played the Jazz 1-3 in the regular season and 4-2 in the playoffs, basically a 50-50 tie.

    This season the Lakers started in a better state than last season, but at most it was similar to the state after the All-Star weekend, that is, they entered the state early. How does it compare with last year's playoff stage?

    It¡¯s hard to say, they had Barkley last year!

    but¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao really wants to win that "opportunity to master the basic skills of CIC"!

    He has maintained a mid-range shooting level of 92 for a long time and has been practicing. Although he has become more proficient in mid-range shooting and his shooting speed has improved a little bit with hard practice, he has become more proficient in mid-range shooting and integrated technical movements.  It's easierbut the accuracy of the mid-range shot itself has basically not improved.

    It is this part that reaches the ceiling of talent!

    The mid-range shooting talent ceiling of 92 is considered very high, but he still wants to improve.

    "Whatever, we have to win this game first, and we'll talk about the rest later"

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    The Jazz sent out a starting lineup of Stockton, Hornacek, Brian Russell, Malone, and Ostertag.

    Malone stayed directly at the free throw line, completely ignoring how miserable Ostertag was inside.

    Regarding the Lakers' opening state, Malone was surprised, but he was not afraid. It was very good, but his judgment was the same as Zhang Hao's. The Lakers just found their state at the beginning + their own lineup faster than other teams.  Strong, only 9 consecutive wins in the beginning, to say it is better than last year's playoffs At least at this stage, the Lakers are unlikely. It is certain if Barkley does not retire, but isn't Barkley retiring? At present, the Lakers are just a team  It's just a strong team with 8 players in the rotation stage.

    Malone has the right to think so, because the Jazz found their form quickly at the beginning. Except for losing once to the Pacers, they won every other game at the beginning.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Ostertag did not let Malone down and jumped directly back. He was ready to retreat from the beginning. O'Neal easily won the jump ball and the Lakers  The team attacks first.

    ??????? O¡¯Neal, David Robinson, when these two jump the ball, people like Ostertag.

    The Jazz sent a combination of Howard Isley, Shanton Anderson, Brian Russell, Malone, and Greg Foster.

    The one who defends O'Neal has become Malone. Ostertag can only play 27 or 8 minutes in a game. 20 minutes is almost enough to defend O'Neal, so he has to save his time. Fortunately, although Malone continues to lose weight, in the past  This summer I lost nearly 5 pounds, but Ostertag spent more than 8 minutes, O'Neal played very hard for more than 8 minutes, and Malone could withstand it.

    Both teams have strong inside lines and excellent role players. At this stage, the game was stalemate again.

    As the second quarter progressed, the two teams began to gradually replace their main players. At 6 minutes and 47 seconds, the score was tied at 43. The Lakers called a timeout and entered the official timeout stage!

    In half a quarter, the Lakers lost by one point!

    When playing against other opponents, O'Neal is invincible, but when playing against a small number of opponents, some of O'Neal's minor flaws are exposed.

    In terms of performance continuity, there is a clear gap between O'Neal and Malone, a 34-year-old veteran.

    Malone's physical distribution is so good that he can't use more energy than he can use it. O'Neal, on the other hand, is a crusher when dealing with most opponents and is used to swinging his arms.  His use of the body is good, but still pretty rough at this point.

    This is an aspect that O'Neal needs to improve in the future, but he is still young and will only turn 26 in March next year. The Lakers are not in a hurryit is useless to be anxious. For a player of O'Neal's level, only he himself is willing to adjust.

    It seems that O'Neal doesn't care, because there is someone behind him

    Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao are on!  O'Neal, Doug Christie, and Rick Fox continued to stay on the court. In the last five minutes or so, the Lakers put in their starting lineup.

    For the Jazz, the starting lineup of Stockton, Hornacek, Brian Russell, Malone, and Ostertag also returned.

    Stepping onto the court, Zhang Hao knew that the regular time of most games was occupied by O'Neal, and that the second offensive point was Kenny Anderson. In most games, after the regular time was over, the Lakers had basically secured the victory.

    However, once the problem cannot be solved within regular time, he needs to step forward!

    ¡­¡­

    After the official timeout, the Lakers attacked, and Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Zhang Hao, who came to the high post on the right and leaned against Malone.

    Zhang Hao received the ball, played with his back, turned around, stepped back and took a step forward to shoot a jump shot hit!

    Malone looked at Zhang Hao's back and felt his scalp go numb. He had seen this move several times in the videos of the Lakers' previous 9 games, but when he encountered it for the first time, his first reaction was still  He thought Zhang Hao was going to turn around and break through, but when he realized that the opponent had already retreated and shot a jumper!

    It's not that he reacted slowly. Brian Russell, who was originally supposed to help prevent Zhang Hao's breakthrough in the defensive strategy, didn't react and stayed at the bottom line. If Brian Russell reacted, he could pull out from the bottom line to attack Zhang Hao.  interference.

    This move is powerful, but this move itself will not make Malone feel pressure, it is just the supporting skills for shooting.

    But in the playoffs last season, Zhang Hao didn't know how to do this. In just one summer, they developed a new back-up technique that could be used so well!

    This is the most terrifying part, because they have to develop a new technology themselves and practice it until it is barely usable. It may be usable in one summer, but it will definitely require a lot of trials and adjustments in many games in the new season before it can be used.  The point of being comfortable.

    But this experience is completely inapplicable to Zhang Hao!

    Not only did Malone feel pain in his balls, but O'Neal, as a teammate, felt huge pressure.

    If you didn¡¯t do a good job defensively in this round, then do it again in the next round. The Jazz wanted to gain an advantage before the end of the first half. When the Jazz attacked, they played very hard!

    In a fake pick-and-roll, Malone just pulled out and suddenly turned around and cut to the basket. Stockton took advantage of Zhang Hao before he could extend out, and shot a three-pointerhit!

    47 to 46, the Jazz have a 1 point lead!

    Stressed but excited, Zhang Hao reached the frontcourt and continued to ask for the ball, ready to continue attacking!  This is his time!

 Chapter 332 332. Continuing rule!  (6K please monthly ticket!)

    Arriving at the frontcourt, Zhang Hao continued to fall high on the right side of the free throw line. Malone took a step forward and used his strength to suppress Zhang Hao. He went around to defend. Zhang Hao flexibly turned around and cut inside. Kenny Anderson's pass arrived in time.

    Zhang Hao received the ball on the right side of the three-second zone. When he received the ball, he stepped forward with his left foot.

    Ostertag was already blocked, and he was confident enough to block Zhang Hao's attack, but he didn't expect Zhang Hao to throw the ball directly with his right hand!

    It seems that Zhang Hao ran around the baseline and retreated directly, and the ball fell directly into the basket!

    An uncoordinated step-up layup!

    As a top center that protects the rim, although Ostertag's overall strength is not very good, he works very hard in the area he is proficient in, which is protecting the rim. Even a player like Nash who only averages 3 points per game from close range.  , have all noticed it.

    Isn¡¯t this the layup technique of the sophomore with the title of ¡°Little Stockton¡±?

    In the eyes of others, it's much simpler - conventional defense can't prevent it!

    48 to 47 Lakers clenched the score!

    Malone is under great pressure, and the opponent is still difficult to deal with without Barkley. This third-year player, known as the "basketball talent ceiling," has improved too quickly.

    The Jazz attacked, Stockton continued to pick and roll with Malone, Zhang Hao pressed out faster, Malone helped Stockton block Doug Christie, forcing Zhang Hao and Doug Christie to switch defenses, then turned around and pressed Doug Christie to cut inside.  .

    Stockton scored the ball. Malone received the ball one step outside the three-second zone and was immediately blocked by O'Neal who extended out. The defensive rotation of Zhang Hao, O'Neal, and Doug Christie began!

    Malone still passed the ball to Ostertag. Zhang Hao had already received it. If Ostertag wanted to shoot, Zhang Hao was confident to stop it.

    But instead of shooting, Ostertag passed the ball straight to the other side of the three-second zone. Brian Russell cut in from the left baseline to catch the ball and hit a layup!

    After passing the ball, Malone immediately went to the baseline to block Rick Fox's pursuit. O'Neal followed suit, turned around a beat slower, and failed to block Brian Russell who was slipping past the baseline!

    Zhang Hao played hard, but the Jazz were still not affected, playing patiently, meticulously and efficiently!

    Zhang Hao picked up the ball and passed it to Kenny Anderson and ran forward. After Kenny Anderson advanced, Zhang Hao still came to the high position on the right side of the free throw line. Malone still chose to go around to defend. Zhang Hao continued to cut in. In three seconds  Received the ball on the right side of the zone Ostertag moved one step ahead of the right sideline of the three-second zone this time!

    Ostertag weighs 8 kilograms less than O'Neal, but he looks a little bigger. His defensive movements at close range are very good. Zhang Hao was completely covered, and Malone had already turned around to catch up after dribbling back.

    At the same time, Brian Russell also got into the basket. When Ostertag flanked Zhang Hao, Brian Russell "covered" O'Neal and went around!

    Zhang Hao seems to be blocked on the right side of the three-second zone, but this will be very difficult for a small forward or defender. It is also very difficult for most insiders, but for Zhang Hao

    Zhang Hao passes the ball from the baseline!

    Doug Christie caught the ball from mid-range on the left baseline and made a mid-range shot!

    With ball control at the small forward level, speed at the guard level, and height at the center level, this kind of flanking attack, as long as his teammates are aware enough and can move to the right position, Zhang Hao will have enough ability to break the game in the face of this kind of defense!

    Fortunately, Doug Christie is such an excellent teammate!

    On the Lakers side, Zhang Hao did not play a pick-and-roll attack as the Jazz expected. Instead, he first played in the high post to create a threat, then cut into shots and distributed the ball, allowing the Jazz to prepare according to the situation in last season's playoffs.  ¡¯s anti-pick-and-roll strategy failed.

    On the Jazz side, they relied solely on a stable offense driven by double-headed opponents. Both teams played very well in the last few minutes of the first half.

    Zhang Hao made 4 of 6 shots and scored 8 points and 2 assists. He led the team to 14 points in the last 5 minutes of the first half. For the Jazz, Stockton made 1 of 2 and scored 3 points and 2 assists. Malone scored 3 points and 2 assists.  He scored 4 points and 1 assist in 2 shots, and the team scored 13 points.

    Zhang Hao took the initiative and led the team with Shuangsha, and the fight was evenly matched!

    After halftime, the Lakers led the Jazz by 1 point 58 to 57!

    ¡­¡­

    Playing more than 17 minutes in the half, Zhang Hao scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. His performance was amazing!

    The data is actually not that exaggerated, but it gives the opponent the feeling that it is very exaggerated, and the progress is too obvious!

    The Jazz thought that after Barkley retired, the Lakers would be very strong in the starting stage, but in the rotation stage it would definitely not be as good as when Barkley was there.

    &p; At this point, Zhang Hao simply didn¡¯t know what to say.

    In this aspect, Ma Long is really awesome!

    "The uncrowned king? The second stage:

    Goal 1: When Zhang Hao¡¯s team plays against the Jazz in the regular season, they will have an advantage in winning or losing.  (Lakers vs. Jazz: 1 win, 0 loss.)

    No matter if it is a regular season battle with the Jazz or a sprint to start the winning streak, this game is just the beginning!

    The continuity and stability of the Jazz After winning the game, Zhang Hao's scalp was still numb just looking at the two evil spirits.

    But it also created a stronger interest in the next fight.

    As a player, it¡¯s so exciting to play against such an opponent!  This is the game Zhang Hao likes.

    The opponent in the next game is also worth looking forward to - returning home to play the Timberwolves!

 Chapter 333 333. It¡¯s not the Wolf King who roars (4500 words, please vote for me!)

    Los Angeles, in the square outside the Great Western Forum Arena, a man who claimed to be 211 centimeters tall stared at the poster above the main entrance of the Great Western Forum Arena in a daze.

    "We'll see you in the NBA!"

    The scene of meeting in the NBA is still vivid in my mind, and we did enter the NBA together.

    But the subsequent development was quite different.

    His own development was even better than the best situation he originally expected. He became an All-Star in his second year and signed the largest contract in NBA history before his third year even started.

    Thinking about it, he should be the one who did the best in that Adidas training camp, right?

    It should be like this. Kobe, Jamison, Bibby, and Odom entered college successively. Although they have good prospects, they are still just prospects; Rahim struggled alone in the cold Vancouver, and Marbury was his younger brother and Jayson.  Maine O'Neal is still sinking in Portland

    But one of them, like him, directly skipped college and entered the NBA. He was also selected in the lottery, but from the beginning, he was stronger than him!

    He can't beat Malone, Kemp, and Vin Baker. He can say that he is still young. He can't beat O'Neal and Mourning. He just refuses to play center. Moreover, he is already an All-Star. Even if the 10 All-Star starters are added  , he should also be one of the 24 best players in the league.

    But compared to that person

    coming¡­¡­

    At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Garnett, who was in a daze in the square outside the Great Western Forum Arena, saw the Lakers team bus pull into the parking lot.

    The Timberwolves are playing two consecutive away games in Los Angeles. They just played the Clippers yesterday and won. Currently, they have 8 wins and 4 losses. They have overtaken the Trail Blazers and are fourth in the Western Conference, but they are very unstable. Behind them are the Suns and Spurs.  It is possible for any team to rush forward, and the Sonics and Jazz in front are so stable.

    And the Lakers, who are at the top of the list, have won 10 consecutive games at the beginning Garnett doesn't know how to describe his current mood.

    ? 10 consecutive wins may not seem that difficult, but starting with 10 consecutive wins is much more difficult than it seems!  I don¡¯t know how many superstars have never started a 10-game winning streak in their careers!

    As strong as Jordan, the number of 10 consecutive wins in the beginning is only 3 times!

    Sometimes for several consecutive seasons, there is no 10-game winning streak at the beginning.

    Others, when trying to win a winning streak at the beginning of the season, do it secretly, but that guy actually took the initiative to say in an exclusive interview that he wanted to hit a winning streak.

    Thinking about it coming from that guy¡¯s mouth, it¡¯s really not surprising.

    As an opponent, and the opponent the Lakers are about to face next, Garnett's mood is similar to that of Utah

    But looking at the empty space around him, Garnett felt that it was better to focus on his own team.

    128 million U.S. dollars in 6 years. If there is a chance to get it, the team is willing to give it, and if the agent can fight for it, he will definitely want it. I wish he could. This is his real transformation from a poor boy who can barely afford to pay for his sister¡¯s school fees to a billionaire.  Opportunity, when the Timberwolves made such an offer, he signed it immediately.

    Then, he was ridiculed by the whole people.

    ??The guy also signed a big contract. The guy signed a 3-year contract worth 53 million U.S. dollars, and received unanimous praise

    This is not important, he also feels that the other party is worthy of the contract.

    However, after he signed the largest contract in history, there was a problem within the team.

    According to what he learned, after Marbury negotiated an early contract extension with the Timberwolves, he shelved the contract extension indefinitely.

    Although he and Marbury have not had any conflicts now, he has already felt the change in their relationship.

    Last season, Marbury and he were almost inseparable. This season, Marbury rarely goes out with him in private.

    If there is anything to be thankful for, it¡¯s that the cooperation between him and Marbury on the court is as good as ever

    Suddenly, Garnett¡¯s eyes darkened while he was in a daze

    "Guess who I am?"

    Garnett was shocked!  I wanted to take several steps away right then and there.

    Suddenly realizing that this was not on the court, he stopped fighting and retreating, and turned his head to look at Zhang Hao speechlessly Well, my power forward Garnett is still a little higher.

    Finally, there is someone who is better than Zhang Hao, and Garnett is a little proud.

    After scaring the other party, Zhang Hao was in a happy mood and asked: "Kevin, let's go have lunch together?"

    "Okay." Garnett did not refuse.

    Zhang Hao is the extremely calm one on the court, but Garnett roars whenever he disagrees.

    But in private, there are acquaintancessp; After the players from the two teams entered the game, there was not much exchange. Zhang Hao's declaration of hitting the opening winning streak, at least until the Lakers' opening winning streak was ended, their opponents would not look good on them.

    But the Lakers players don¡¯t care. The Aristocrats are proud of themselves.

    Marbury looked at Zhang Hao who was in a daze on the sidelines and prepared to go over and say hello.

    ¡°Before, I didn¡¯t want to appear in the public eye with Garnett and wanted to put pressure on the Timberwolves, but now when it¡¯s time for the game, it¡¯s time to go over and have a chat.

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao turned around and left Marbury was very confused, where were he going?

    Not to mention Marbury, the Lakers players and coaching staff were all confused when they looked at Zhang Hao walking into the auditorium aisle, and when they looked at the fans beside the aisle screaming crazily and reaching out to Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao just passed by

    Silver Fox¡¯s heart skipped a beat¡­ What else is this damn kid up to?

    Not long after, the scene darkened, and a close-up of Zhang Hao¡¯s face appeared on the big screen above the stadium.

    Players from both teams and all the fans at the scene were staring at the screen.

    Garnett looked at Zhang Hao's face and felt something bad. He felt like he was about to lose something

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao on the screen opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth - "Ah"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s crazy roars came from the loudspeakers all over the scene, continuing and resounding throughout the audience!

    ¡°Fuck¡­¡­¡±

    Garnett once thought about how he would leave his mark on the team when he one day became the boss of the Timberwolves.

    At this time, he had completely ignored the issue of leaving the Timberwolves. McHale's kindness and super high salary he had no idea of ??leaving.

    Timberwolves, wolves, love to roar, and he happens to love to roar too, so he has already planned that one day, he will be able to surpass Gugliotta in strength, instead of being half-assed like he is now, and taking the position of the team boss.  , just record a video and ask the director to play it before the home game As a result, that bastard

    Off the court, Garnett always had a better impression of Zhang Hao, but on the court, in his mind, Zhang Hao became the strongest opponent in his career, and the two never held anything back from each other on the court.  , all going all out.

    In the first two years of their careers, Zhang Hao took the lead in almost every aspect. Who would have thought that Zhang Hao would even beat Garnett to this aspect!

    This is fate?  No!  Garnett thinks this is bad luck!

    Others at the scene were frightened at first, and then the fans started cheering crazily!

    The Lakers players were also confused by Zhang Hao's actions at first. When they saw Zhang Hao's face appearing on the big screen and roaring, they were confused at first, and then they also followed him amidst the tearful cheers of the fans at the scene.  It's on fire!

    Silver Fox and O'Neal both sat down silently - what's going on?  The former felt that his many years of coaching experience were like feeding a dog, while the latter still wanted to compete with Zhang Hao, but at this moment, he felt that his heart was racing and he needed to slow down

    On the other side, after the roar was over, the big screen cut back to the clips of the Lakers and Timberwolves last season. After the lights returned to normal, Zhang Hao looked at the system prompts

    "Wolf's Roar (Silver) is triggered. The players participating in this game have high morale and are invincible."

    It¡¯s just this medal, is there any difference between me and the invincible?

    Zhang Hao was just starting to curse when another system prompt came.

    ¡°Congratulations to the host for receiving the Kevin Garnett Character Transformation Medal: Wolf Roar (Bronze).

    Wolf Roar (Bronze): The player who wears the weapon roars at the camera connected to the big screen before the game starts. The players participating in this game have high morale and are invincible.  "

    "Since Wolf Roar (Bronze) does not have supporting technology, the first-class training upgrade card is automatically converted into an exclusive Silver upgrade card for Wolf Roar (Bronze). Medal: Wolf Roar is upgraded from Bronze to Silver."

    "Wolf Roar (Silver): 1. The player who wears it roars at the camera connected to the big screen before the game starts. The players participating in this game have high morale and are invincible.

    2. Players who wear it can choose to roar and celebrate every time they perform wonderfully. It can have a confidence blow to opponents with weak psychological quality, and it can anger opponents with players with strong psychological quality.

    Note: New feature of gold level: wolf blood boiling.

    How to level up: tasks.  "

    After reading several new system prompts, Zhang Hao felt that thousands of alpacas were running wild

    "This is not as good as being the No. 1 pick. You might get a medal for shooting or something like that.In defense of Garnett, he started dribbling under the crotch from outside the top arc!

    It was only then that Garnett remembered that although Zhang Hao's skills were not as comprehensive as his, Zhang Hao was much better than him in singles with the ball from the outside!

    Garnett wanted to defend him, but when he saw Zhang Hao dribbling with a wide range of motion, he stretched out his hand and fell into the trap!

    Zhang Hao made a beautiful pull, then turned around with Garnett and broke into the paint!

    Sam Mitchell took it back, and Gugliotta was also blocked outside the reasonable collision area.

    Zhang Hao hung from the left side of the basket, O'Neal dunked and scored two points!

    After O'Neal completed the dunk, Zhang Hao roared at Garnett again, roaring and beating his chest to retreat

    O¡¯Neal was about to take a dominant step when he was startled by Zhang Hao¡¯s voice!

    "You're not dunking, you're just passing the ball, yelling Oh, by the way, No. 21 on the opposite side also likes this"

    Garnett ran to the frontcourt and looked at Zhang Hao who returned to the backcourt and rubbed his chest Really, I can hit this guy with whatever moves I use?

    At this moment, Garnett calmed down and started a pick-and-roll attack with Marbury I was convinced!  I can't beat you, okay!

    Marbury and Garnett's pick-and-roll offense was really good, and their teammates also cooperated tacitly. Gugliotta helped Sam Mitchell pick-and-roll and then pulled to the free throw line. Garnett received Marbury's pass from the baseline.  Passing the free throw line was intercepted by Zhang Hao who was defending!

    ???????? After suppressing the opponent¡¯s ball-handler to the baseline, he cut off the low-post and high-post pass and ball Watching Zhang Hao steal the ball and go directly to the fast break, the speed is getting faster and faster Garnett felt that the world was collapsing

 Chapter 335 335. Perfect Remy Twin Towers!  (4.5K please monthly ticket!)

    Garnett knows that his strength is not as good as Zhang Hao, but he does not have a clear understanding of how big the gap is, because he has been in the NBA for more than two years and has played against him 8 times before, and he has lost all of them without exception.

    Especially after the All-Star Weekend last season, Barkley worked a little harder and started to feel ready for the playoffs, and O'Neal was extremely active in playing power forward on the defensive end. Garnett's Timberwolves were defeated by the Lakers.  He was so abused that he had no ability to fight back. Zhang Hao didn't even try hard, and the Lakers easily took the lead by a big score.

    The media has been saying last season that Zhang Hao's performance was helped by the entire Lakers team and that O'Neal "sacrificed" himself Various remarks said that Zhang Hao is a star who relies on the help of his teammates in the regular stage and occasionally has explosive strength. In the playoffs, Zhang Hao  Only then did he get more recognition.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But Zhang Hao won another championship, FMVP in his second grade

    This makes Garnett have no clear understanding of how strong Zhang Hao is. Players' judgments on this kind of thing are very different from fans, media, and experts.

    Before, Garnett was very confident in the comprehensiveness of his skills, but now, after being beaten by Zhang Hao, he is confused in this aspect

    It¡¯s not that he lost his confidence, it¡¯s just that when facing Zhang Hao on the court, Garnett felt inferiority deep in his heart

    Because even the defense that he was proud of, Zhang Hao "imitated" it and seemed to do it better than him!

    Mainly, Garnett is still weak. If stars like Malone and Jordan encountered Zhang Hao cheating and performing like them, they might be shocked, but they would not be without the ability to fight back.

    And Garnett is only in his third year, Zhang Hao can predict almost anything he does, and he still doesn¡¯t have a way to deal with it!

    Jordan has the ability to adjust his style of play to the point where Zhang Hao can't predict it, but Garnett can't!

    Originally, if the Timberwolves performed well and brought out their offensive characteristics in the beginning, Garnett and Gugliotta could shoot from the open, Marbury would score in the pick-and-roll, take three-pointers after receiving passes, and make mid-range shots  Both, Sam Mitchell and Chris Kyle are both high-quality role players with high basketball intelligence. They rely on offense in the early stage, and then use Stanley Roberts to consume O'Neal in the rotation stage. They play slowly and play well.  Their characteristics They have a chance to beat the Lakers. After all, they are also a team predicted to have 50 wins.

    "If the Lakers role players are not so accurate in shooting tonight, and Garnett relies on his excellent defensive connection and offensive sorting abilities, the Timberwolves' probability of winning will be further improved.

    However, at the beginning, Zhang Hao scored 8 points, 1 assist and 1 steal, and he was looking at Garnett's style of play as if looking in the mirror, making Garnett doubt his life.

    As the game progressed, Garnett calmed down and prepared to play well. Zhang Hao also gradually combined the temporary defensive experience of peak Garnett with the temporarily enhanced physical fitness and muscle memory of defensive end movements on the defensive end.

    If Klay Thompson at his peak in the future is the most versatile outside player who can be plug-and-play for any team, then Garnett can be regarded as the most versatile inside player, able to organize offense with the ball and run without the ball.  Position shooting, pick-and-roll, receiving and supporting, counterattack, single defense, assist defense, defensive series ability

    Zhang Hao and O'Neal, who has strong frame protection ability, formed a mid- and short-range defense that collapsed the Timberwolves!

    With O'Neal playing power forward and Zhang Hao protecting the frame, a top-level interior defensive formation can be formed. But now, with Zhang Hao playing power forward and O'Neal protecting the frame, it is a perfect defensive formation!

    Zhang Hao exploded on both ends of the offense and defense. The Timberwolves were stunned, Garnett was beaten to the point of feeling inferior, and the Lakers Oh, our gentleman who is known as the "basketball talent ceiling" is beating the stars of the same generation.  It's time to explode

    Since that¡¯s the case, then hit the opposite side!

    They want a winning streak!

    ¡­¡­

    Lakers and Timberwolves, a popular game, Zhang Hao vs. Garnett, a much-anticipated duel between talented power forwards, the media and fans had countless discussions before the game.

    But from the very beginning of the game, the TV commentators, the fans in front of the TV, and even the fans at the scene were all wide-eyed.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????:?The Timberwolves didn¡¯t give the Timberwolves a chance at all, the Lakers crushed them all the way

    ¡°Moreover, Zhang Hao gave Garnett a teaching instruction class!

    Although the point difference was not widened quickly, the Lakers maintained their lead throughout the whole process. At 10 minutes and 23 seconds of the third quarter, Zhang Hao had 10 assists. The Silver Fox waved to Fisher on the court, and Fisher  Er received the instruction and followed the instructions he received before taking the field. He intercepted Terry Burt who was receiving the serve. He failed to grab the ball and was called a hitter foul. The Silver Fox took advantage of the situation and called a timeout.

    28 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 6 blocks, playingThe store's surveillance revealed that the person paying for the room was a primary school student

    In fact, after the hotel front desk said it was a curly-haired white boy, the two of them had already guessed it was Curry.

    Then, at a young age, Curry accepted social death

    The media and fans are still hotly discussing Zhang Hao's "teaching guidance" to Garnett, and hotly discussing his triple-double + 5 times 5 performance. On November 21, the Lakers have arrived in Miami.

    There is a game on the 24th, but if you play the Heat, you must go early. The winter in Los Angeles is still not as comfortable as Miami.

    Most people stay in hotels, but there are cases where Zhang Hao goes out to stay by himself and returns to the hotel before returning to the team on the 23rd. For example, O'Neal bought a hotel in Miami when he and Anfernee Hardaway were competing to see who was richer.  A small building.

    Although Zhang Hao also came out to live, he just came out to live with Little Loli and April Clark. After arriving at the villa, he had lunch and began to study the next three opponents.

    Next up is a wave of three consecutive visitors, the Heat on the 24th, the Celtics on the 26th, and Duncan on the 28th!

    This excites him even more than beating Tracy McGrady!

 Chapter 336 336. Leave the troublesome questions to Big Fatty (9K monthly vote please!)

    The Lakers' number of losses has always been 0, but this is not the case for other teams.

    The competition for second and third place in the Western Conference is fierce. The Sonics failed to win more than 10 games in a row. After 9 consecutive victories, the winning streak was ended by the Suns, but then they defeated the Hornets. Currently, they are ranked in the Western Conference with 10 wins and 3 losses.  Third, clinging to the Jazz, who are second in the Western Conference with 11 wins and 2 losses.

    The Lakers, Jazz, and SuperSonics. Based on the predictions of major media, these three teams are all regarded as teams that are likely to win 60 games. There are three 60-win teams in the Western Conference alone.

    After the Suns and Spurs also passed the initial running-in period, their records have been rising, threatening the Timberwolves and Trail Blazers' fourth and fifth positions in the Western Conference.

    In the Eastern Conference, the Heat and Pacers compete for first place, and the Bulls and 76ers compete for third place. Both teams covet the first place in the Eastern Conference, followed by the Hornets, Cavaliers, Hawks, Knicks, and Wizards.  , Nets From fifth in the Eastern Conference to 12th in the Eastern Conference, positions change almost every day, and competition is fierce. The Raptors, Pistons, and Magic seem to be on the verge of falling out of the playoffs from the start.  Race line up.

    The Pistons introduced a third-year player who averaged 23.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in the first 14 games, but his strength plummeted, from 88.9 points per game last season to 95.5 points per game.  The average of 94.2 points per game dropped to 93.7 points per game, and the point difference between gains and losses was actually negative, which really surprised people.

    Grant Hill is averaging only 14.5 shots per game this season, which is lower than the 15.2 shots per game he averaged in his rookie season. With improvements in shooting percentage and playing time, his average per game this season dropped to 20.5 points and 7.7 points per game.  6.8 rebounds, 2 steals, 1.2 blocks

    The local media in Detroit are calling for former Pistons general manager Jack McCulloth to come back. However, late last season, the 71-year-old Jerry McCulloth resigned due to physical reasons. Who would have thought that this man who single-handedly created the Bad Boys Army  Six months after the Pistons' meritorious general manager resigned, the Pistons' good situation was ruined by a trade.

    Look at Ratliff, when he arrived with the Sonics, he averaged 9.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.4 blocks in 31 minutes per game, but Jerry Stackhouse shot 39.7% from the field 18.5 times per game.  .

    Furthermore, before the start of the season, the Pistons completed a three-year, $14 million contract extension with Jerry Stackhouse

    ??The one who benefited the most from the Pistons' decline is naturally the Heat!

    On November 22, the Heat defeated the Magic in an away game, improving their record to 11 wins and 3 losses. Relying on the advantage of head-to-head wins, the Heat defeated the Pacers, who also had 11 wins and 3 losses, to rank first in the Eastern Conference.

    With the Bulls, Knicks, and Pistons declining due to various reasons, the Heat have become the team with the highest probability of reaching the Finals in the Eastern Conference!

    On November 23, the Heat returned to Miami. Their boss Mourning felt excited when he saw the Lakers who came to the American Airlines Center for training early this morning.

    Five years have passed, and his team finally has hope of playing against O'Neal's team in the finals!

    The opponent Mourning wants to win the most is the only player in the same class who was drafted higher than him - O'Neal!

    ¡­¡­

    The three-day break passed by in a flash, and on November 24th, the Lakers¡¯ away game against the Heat arrived.

    At 8:30 in the morning, Zhang Hao followed the team to the American Airlines Center again for a pre-match meeting, continued training from yesterday, and accepted pre-match interviews

    The main force of today¡¯s interviews is Chaotingtai. Being interviewed by Chaotingtai is very boring. There are always many things that need attention. Although there is Zhang Weiping in China to help, the current situation of domestic basketball

    If it weren¡¯t for Wang Zhizhi, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to get tickets for next year¡¯s World Championships!

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know how to describe his feelings. The Chinese men¡¯s basketball team¡¯s golden era on the perimeter was at its peak, and there would be a situation where Wang Zhizhi couldn¡¯t even beat South Korea if he didn¡¯t make such big progress.

    ¡°Anyway, he is very cautious now. Finally, the door to the national team has been opened. If he encounters problems related to the men¡¯s basketball team, he can just praise it

    After accepting the exclusive interview with Chaotingtai, Zhang Hao walked around outside the arena.

    Heat fans are really amazing. Now that the Heat are ranked first in the Eastern Conference, the fans are so enthusiastic.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of last season's Eastern Conference Finals, most of the seats at the American Airlines Center were empty every time they lost.

    Zhang Hao thought of the scenes from the 2013 and 2014 finals in the original time and space "As expected of a loyal Heat fan!"

    ¡­¡­

    At 5:10 in the evening, after the warm-up, Zhang Hao and his teammates entered the stadium at the American Airlines Center.

    After entering the venue, when Zhang Hao looked at Mourning, Mourning also happened to look at Zhang Hao??Originally, the Lakers were trailing 11 to 14, with the point difference reaching 6 points. Zhang Hao finally recovered 5 points with his personal ability; compared to the Jazz, the Heat also had Jamal Mashburn and Dan Marr.  Players like Leigh and Tim Hardaway who have the ability to score explosively.

    Although for other teams, the Heat may not be as difficult to beat as the Jazz, SuperSonics, Bulls, Pacers, and 76ers, but the Lakers' style of play has always been more troublesome to deal with the Twin Towers.  Just like in the original time and space, the Lakers were beaten 4-0 by the Twin Towers Spurs in the second round of 1999, and were beaten 4-1 by the Jazz in the Western Conference Finals in 1998 So many teams are working hard to form the Twin Towers.  Of course it makes sense.

    But Zhang Hao was not that worried. Silver Fox came up with a very simple strategy this time, and the opponent had to fall for it.

    After the start of the second quarter, O'Neal plunged into the twin-tower hand-to-hand battle between Mourning and P.J. Brown with all his strength, and continued to compete with Mourning. Zhang Hao continued to move to open up space, quietly waiting for the harvest opportunity

 Chapter 337 337. A ghost-like existence (please vote for 4K monthly)

    ??For the same thing, people have different views.

    Zhang Hao felt that O'Neal was doing the hard work, but O'Neal felt that he was doing something that only he could do.

    If you want to compete with Mourning, in today's league, there are only four centers who can do it at full capacity. David Robinson, Ewing before injury, rookie Duncan, and he is fat.

    And only O'Neal can be sure that he and Mourning will be able to complete the mutual attrition, even if Duncan comes, it may not be possible.

    Yes, after only playing a dozen games, Duncan was placed by the media and fans in the ranks of competing with O'Neal and Mourning for the number one center. David Robinson and Ewing before injury were inferior to the rookie Duncan.

    But O'Neal's strength in people's minds is still better than Mourning and Duncan But under the coaching of Pat Riley, and under the league's current rules and whistleblowing standards, O'Neal's role on the court is different from Mourning's.  Basically equivalent.

    After the two came on the court, the scores of the two teams were outrageously low.

    After more than 8 minutes in the second quarter, both of them were replaced. Pat Riley did not want to be affected by the opponent's rotation. Mourning also persisted. Although the Heat withstood the Lakers' offensive in the second half of the first quarter,  , maintaining a 1-point lead to end the first quarter, but it was very dangerous.

    Although Zhang Hao's normal performance is not as good as O'Neal's ability to lead the team during regular time, and there is a relatively obvious gap, but if he needs to score in a short period of time, Zhang Hao is the strongest among the players here.

    The Heat don¡¯t have the ability to widen the point difference while playing offense. They can score 5 points in 1 minute or 10 points in 2-3 minutes. This is Zhang Hao¡¯s specialty at critical moments.

    And if Zhang Hao wants to do this and beat the Heat, he also needs a prerequisite - Mourning is not present.

    Otherwise, with the twin towers of Mourning and PJ Brown, coupled with two good defensive perimeters, even Tim Hardaway, who has only a good defensive ability, will still make it difficult for Zhang Hao to score.

    Pat Riley could tell what Silver Fox was thinking at a glance. Silver Fox didn¡¯t hide it at all, and Pat Riley didn¡¯t want to be led around.

    But Silver Fox and O'Neal also insist on consuming each other.

    It is also the first time for Pat Riley to encounter such a situation. There is really no other way but to hold on.

    Pat Riley thought of the 1980-1981 season, when he was still an assistant coach to Paul Westhead with the Lakers. As the defending champion, he met the Rockets led by Silver Fox in the playoffs.  In the game, Paul Westhead, a young coach who won a championship in his rookie coaching season and was even more famous in the NCAA, was ruined by the Silver Fox's tricks.

    At 8 minutes and 11 seconds of the second quarter, the two teams were tied at 38 to 37. In these more than 8 minutes, the two teams scored 13 to 11. Compared with the performance in the second half of the first quarter when O'Neal and Mourning were absent,  Shockingly ironic!

    The strategy was successful, but the Silver Fox did not dare to be careless. O'Neal played 15 minutes and scored 9 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. He has completed his job well. Now, it still depends on Zhang Hao and Kenny.  -Anderson's play.

    After resting for most of the second quarter, Kenny Anderson was re-introduced, playing in combination with Doug Christie, Brian Shaw, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao.

    Counting Fisher, Brent Barry, O'Neal, and Rick Fox, the Silver Fox saw only 9 people rotating against a strong team, and suddenly felt that the team's lineup was in a state of decline

    If Pat Riley knew what the Silver Fox was thinking, he would definitely rush over and fight the Silver Fox!

    Pat Riley was also well prepared. They had a strength advantage when they had to fight hard on defense. They should have gained a certain score advantage during the stage of fighting hard on defense and playing attrition, but he put Tim Hardaway and Jamal  Mashburn has been on the bench all the time, just for the sake of the stage after Mourning was replaced.

    Tim Hardaway, Voshan Leonard, Jamal Mashburn, Mark Strickland, and Terry Mills were replaced.

    Although he was annoyed by the Silver Fox's strategy, Pat Riley is still one of the best in the league in terms of coaching ability.

    ¡­¡­

    There are 3 minutes and 49 seconds left in the first half. After the timeout, the Heat attack.

    Jamal Mashburn cut in from the left and used Tim Hardaway to score. His attempt to dunk was blocked by Zhang Hao's quick baseline movement, but Jamal Mashburn grabbed the offensive rebound himself.  The offense made a layup.

    Well, a man who averages 5.2 rebounds per game has 2.5 offensive rebounds. This is how the offensive rebounds come. Zhang Hao received the ball and swatted it and sent it to Kenny Anderson.

    The Heat¡¯s defense is driven by the twin towers of Mourning and P.J. Brown. They are also the kind who play less time against weak teams and always play more than 40 minutes against strong teams. They were defeated by the Lakers tonight.bell!  At 5 minutes and 56 seconds, Zhang Haobo did not automatically enter the official timeout even after he committed a foul!

    After being pulled up by O'Neal and Rick Fox, Zhang Hao moved his body to relieve the numbness from being hit, walked to the free throw line, and made the extra free throw!

    56 to 58, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to two points!

    Pat Riley hesitated for a moment and did not take the initiative to call a timeout and enter the official timeout stage. He wanted the point difference to be a little larger in this advantageous stage. The two-point difference was as if it was not there.

    When it came to the Heat's offense, Tim Hardaway lived up to Pat Riley's expectations. After advancing beyond the three-point line, he paused and looked like he was about to grab the ball and shoot a three-pointer. Zhang Hao was so shaken that he pressed forward, but Tim  -Hardaway is a change of direction this time!  The hand about to grab the ball did not touch the ball. He quickly moved the ball with his left hand. The ball passed under Zhang Hao's crotch. Tim Hardaway rushed inside, before Zhang Hao turned around and caught up to cover Tim Hardaway's shooting space.  , Tim Hardaway hit a mid-range pull-up jumper one step inside the free throw line!

    A group of defenders are really not given in vain!

    60 to 56, the Heat lead by 4 points!

    But the Lakers did not call a timeout. Pat Riley was patient, and the Silver Fox was also calm.

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, and Zhang Hao once again ran out with PJ Brown from the bottom line.

    Just when the Heat's defense began to shrink towards the mid-range, preparing to prevent Zhang Hao's pick-and-roll breakthrough or direct ball breakthrough, Kenny Anderson came on his own, pushing to the right side of the top arc to accelerate and break through!

    Originally, the Heat's defense began to shrink towards the center, but was suddenly taken away by Kenny Anderson. Kenny Anderson made an emergency stop, saw PJ Brown's figure, and passed the ball behind his head. Zhang Hao received the ball from the right side of the top arc.  !

    Voshon Leonard pounced on him in time, but seeing Zhang Hao receiving the ball and placing it on the right side of his head, Voshon Leonard was desperate

    With this posture, his defense is in place and the timing is good, but he can't interfere at all!

    With Zhang Hao¡¯s patiently adjusted three-pointer, 59 to 60, the Lakers once again narrowed the point difference to 1 point. The Heat called a timeout and entered the official timeout stage!

    The Heat players have one thought in their minds right now - why not just call a timeout after Zhang Hao played 2+1!

    ¡­¡­

    After the official timeout, the Heat sent out a combination of Tim Hardaway, Dan Marley, Jamal Mashburn, PJ Brown, and Terry Mills.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao.

    Sitting at home, his performance was not bad, and he had an advantage in the defensive phase. When competing for stars, Tim Hardaway and Jamal Mashburn led the team, and they were able to compete with Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao, who did not have O'Neal around them.  Evenly matched.

    However, whenever there is an advantage, Zhang Hao can stand up.

    Zhang Hao scored 5 points in the last minute of the first quarter. In the last minute of the second quarter, Zhang Hao made a breakthrough layup. Kenny Anderson counterattacked with a steal and gave Brent Barry a long two-pointer. If it hadn't been for Tim -  Hardaway scored a three-pointer in the end, and the Heat had already been overtaken. It was like this again in the third quarter, and finally got a 5-point lead. Zhang Hao scored 6 points in a row, playing a 6-2 wave, narrowing the point difference to 1  point¡­¡­

    Regardless of the scene or the score, the Heat have always had the initiative. The Lakers have to play like this. Although Mourning is consumed, it becomes difficult for the Lakers to gain an advantage. Zhang Hao and Kenny  -If Anderson wants to lead the team to perform at the top level during regular time, he needs O'Neal to be there. In fact, O'Neal needs to lead the team during regular time.

    But at that critical moment, Zhang Hao was too fierce!

    How to increase the team's upper limit?

    From the perspective of Heat players, this is what Zhang Hao is doing now!

 Chapter 338 338. Why do you want to resist?  (4.5K please monthly ticket!)

    The game continued, and it was obvious that the Heat were a little anxious.

    For a team that insists on defense, in terms of psychological quality, the Heat are actually not bad.

    But compared with the Lakers with Zhang Hao, the Heat's patience is still a little worse.

    After getting anxious, the Heat's previous patient play and high-stability performance despite a slow scoring rate collapsed!

    After the official timeout, the Heat only scored 1 goal in 5 rounds and were beaten 7-2 by the Lakers!

    On offense and defense, the Heat became impatient. Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson were targeted. Rick Fox played a good role as a transfer ball. Doug Christie and Jason Williams combined to score 7 points.  point!

    ? 66 to 62, the Lakers took a 4-point lead.

    Tim Hardaway is still very good. He stabilized his position in time and led the team to a 5-4 score in less than 2 minutes in the last 2 minutes. After three quarters, the Heat chased the score to 67-70.  The difference is 3 points.

    During the break, Pat Riley emphasized not to mess up, play steadily, keep the score, and wait until Mourning is rested to play.

    In the last 1 minute and 44 seconds of the third quarter, Tim Hardaway scored 5 points alone and went on a 5-4 run. The Lakers did not allow the Lakers to take the lead and continued to widen the gap, helping the Heat stabilize the situation. During the break,  Pat Riley's words also successfully made the Heat players regain their confidence, calm down again, and prepare to play well.

    Seeing that O'Neal, who scored 12 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks in the third quarter, was not on the court, the Heat players felt that they were in trouble. Without O'Neal, the Lakers' defense also declined significantly, and their offense was somewhat weak.

    The Heat sent a combination of Tim Hardaway, Voshan Leonard, Jamal Mashburn, Mark Strickland, and Terry Mills.

    Zhang Hao, holding his jersey in his mouth, brought Kenny Anderson, Brent Barry, Doug Christie, and Jason Williams onto the field.

    When they saw Zhang Hao taking the field with his jersey in his mouth, the Heat players felt something bad Did this scene seem familiar?

    There is one aspect of the Heat's style of play that is very powerful - draining the opponent's physical strength.

    Compared with Mourning and O'Neal, in terms of defense, even if O'Neal goes all out to defend, Mourning is better, but in terms of offense, O'Neal is one level better than Mourning. Taken together, O'Neal is definitely better than Mourning, but Mourning is  Being able to interact with O'Neal in the game is the strength of the Heat's team defense. Under the system, Mourning can play a similar role on the court as O'Neal and Duncan.

    It can be seen that Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Jason Williams and other Lakers players, their physical strength declined at the end of the third quarter, otherwise Tim Hardaway  There was no way to seize the opportunity and use the screen to score 5 points in a row.

    At the end of the third quarter, Zhang Hao also showed signs of physical decline.

    Similarly, the Heat also have a decline in physical strength, but they are more accustomed to this style of play, and in terms of play style and rotation, they are minimizing the impact in this regard.

    There is consumption, but generally speaking, the Heat's own situation is better than that of their opponents.

    But there is one person who always ignores this situation. This person is the man opposite who comes on the field with his jersey collar in his mouth!

    At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Heat, who won the jump ball at the beginning, attacked first.

    Facing Doug Christie¡¯s defense, Jamal Mashburn chose to step back and hit a three-pointerhe didn¡¯t make it this time!

    Jason Williams protects the defensive rebounds and passes to Kenny Anderson immediately, starting a fast break!

    Zhang Hao has already rushed out!

    The Heat were wary of this situation, but Zhang Hao still passed all his teammates immediately and triggered the "single ride"!  Speed ??+5!

    Tim Hardaway, who immediately retreated from defense, moved towards Zhang Hao's counterattack line and tried to commit a tactical foul. Zhang Hao fouled Zhang Hao without receiving the ball, which was not a physical foul.

    However, Tim Hardaway, who could have been the first to retreat to the basket, was surpassed by Zhang Hao after moving laterally. Zhang Hao's speed was once again guaranteed!

    ¡°Ride alone¡± at full power!

    Zhang Hao and Tim Hardaway passed each other, and Tim Hardaway didn't even commit a foul!

    Zhang Hao rushed into the opposite three-point line, received a pass from Kenny Anderson, took two steps into the free throw line, took off, switched the ball from his right hand to his left hand in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk!

    "The Dunk Master (Silver) is triggered. In the next three rounds, the morale of the team wearing the player Zhang Hao will rise sharply"

    O¡¯Neal on the sidelines was so excited when he saw Zhang Hao counterattack and surpass Tim Duncan, Zhang Hao completed the change of hands.After Zhang Hao took the shot, he didn't look at the flying ball. Before the ball reached the highest point, the final whistle had already sounded. Tim Hardaway wanted to turn his head to look, but when he saw Zhang Hao falling down after taking the shot, he lowered his head to look.  Looking at him.

    Along with the long whistle at the end of the game, I heard the annoyed sounds and curses from the fans at the scene after being quiet for more than a second, and saw the calm face of the young superstar who was not yet 21 years old filled with jokes 17  Tim Hardaway, who was still immersed in the excitement of scoring three three-pointers at critical moments and saving the team tonight, knew that he had become the most tragic background!

    This kind of blow is even greater than losing the game simply by being 8 points behind!

    At this time, a confused voice came to Tim Hardaway's ears - "It is not a shame to accept failure, why resist? Thank you, Mr. Hardaway, you have given me more kills."  once."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 339 339. The key opponent who breaks the winning streak (4K please vote for me!)

    O¡¯Neal had 17 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Mourning had 20 points, 14 rebounds and 6 blocks. The fierce battle between the two was extremely brutal.

    Jamal Mashburn scored 17 points and 6 assists, and Kenny Anderson scored 22 points and 5 assists. The two scores were not the highest for their respective teams, but they drove the team's offense with their personal abilities and left an impression on the fans watching the game.  deep impression.

    But the two most dazzling players are the two players who scored key goals at the last moment.

    Tim Hardaway scored 9 points in a row in the last minute and a half, scoring a game-high 30 points and 8 assists. He went on a 9-0 run from being 8 points behind to a 1 point lead with only 17 seconds left for the opponent.  Bell, Tim Hardaway proved with his strength that he deserves to play for a while.

    However, his amazing solo dance at the last moment of this competition became the most tragic background!

    Zhang Hao squeezed the time until the last 4 seconds and hit a two-point pull-up jumper to help the Lakers beat the Heat 96-95, win 12 consecutive victories, and continue to maintain their unbeaten record!

    "Why resist?"

    When Zhang Hao was talking trash to Tim Hardaway after hitting the buzzer beater, he was captured in a close-up. Although Tim Hardaway was shocked after the game and did not accept an interview, Zhang Hao did not mention this incident during the interview.  Time Warner Cable Sports, which had lip-reading experts ready, interpreted the scene.

    This line of trash talk Zhang Hao said to Tim Hardaway went viral after the game!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbps out out of nowhere, but seeing Zhang Hao catch the ball and advance on his own, making breakthroughs on his own, avoiding all possible mistakes, and with 4 seconds left, he made a sudden stop jump shot to beat the buzzer What happened to Kuang?

    The scene of Zhang Hao not watching the ball when his shot came down, lowering his head and looking at Tim Hardaway with a joking expression was also edited by the TV station after the game, and the heat continued to grow the next day!

    Before playing the Jazz, Zhang Hao publicly stated that he would strive for the longest winning streak in the opening game. At the time, it seemed that he was too arrogant.

    However, the Lakers have gone from 9 consecutive wins to 12 consecutive wins!

    The Lakers¡¯ next four opponents are the Celtics, 76ers, Raptors, and Nuggets.

    As the mortal enemy of the Lakers, the Celtics will definitely give it a try, but it will be difficult to beat the Lakers who are currently gaining momentum

    The Raptors, who have lost 14 games in a row at the beginning of the season, are about to lose 17 games in a row created by the Heat in the 1988-89 season. The Nuggets are 1 win and 12 losses, which is not much better. A deputy in the Eastern Conference.  Squad leader, a western deputy squad leader.

    People who want to see the Lakers break the Rockets' record and those who don't want to see the Lakers break the Rockets' record are all focused on the Philadelphia 76ers, the Lakers' 14th opponent at the start of the game on November 28!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    A crazy start to the game with 12 consecutive victories put the Lakers at the center of public opinion in the basketball world. The morning after beating the Heat, Zhang Hao followed the team to Boston, while April Clark took Little Loli back to Los Angeles.

    Zhang Hao was very excited last night, but after reading his ability evaluation and reviewing the game early in the morning, he calmed down.

    Without O'Neal's performance of 17 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocks, there would be no victory for them.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s goal is to one day become the unique and strongest player. He already has this ambition, but now, he still needs to focus on O¡¯Neal.

    Moreover, there is O'Neal around, playing is really cool 

    He does not have the mentality of another high school student wearing the Lakers' No. 8 jersey in the original time and space. He will not want to take over everything and do it all by himself. He must completely lead the team forward. That kind of paranoid attitude  Thoughts don't come to him.

    At what stage, do what you want.

    Last night, with the help of O'Neal, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Jason Williams, Rick Fox and other teammates, he could recharge his batteries during regular time and look for opportunities to think about countermeasures, and got  There are many opportunities to score at critical moments. This is what he should do now.

    The flattery of public opinion will inevitably affect his self-judgment. At this time, Zhang Hao chose not to watch the news.

    ??The 15-day lifespan reward for a game last night Zhang Hao hopes that the team will continue to win continuously!

    ¡­¡­

    After arriving in Boston, after a night¡¯s rest, on November 26, the Lakers came to the North Shore Garden Arena to challenge the Celtics away from home.

    "Anthony Walker, 21 years old, 203 centimeters, 103 kilograms, ability evaluation 86, offense 91, defense 69, rebounds 94, three-pointers 73, 86 mid-range shots, 96 layupsaveraged 40.1 minutes per game, 23 per game  Points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists 43% shooting rate, 31.2 three-point shooting rate"

    "Chauncy Billups, 21 years old, 191 cm, 87 kg, ability evaluation 68 averaged 9-Hardaway can beat Doug Christie, does the No. 2 rookie think he can do the same?

    In just three rounds, Zhang Hao understood why Billups became a homeless man in the early stages of his career

    After the Celtics substitute point guard Dana Burrows came on the court, the Celtics played normally.

    This 1989 veteran averaged 20.6 points, 7.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game in the 1994-95 season. In the summer of 1995, he signed a six-year, $21 million deal with the Celtics, replacing a former Bulls player.  The front-guard swingman was furious.

    Unlike Robert Parker, who is wearing a suit on the Lakers bench, Dana Burrows is happy to accept the position of a role player. His 42% three-point shooting rate so far in his career is very good. This season, he is averaging 41% three-point shooting rate.  He made 1.5 three-pointers, scored 10.2 points and 4.5 assists, and became a powerful assistant next to Ron Moser and Anthony Walker.

    Encountering a mortal enemy, the Celtics players were excited. After Billups was replaced, the Celtics really matched the Lakers. 17 to 14, the Celtics relied on Anthony.  -Walker and Dana Burrows each hit a three-pointer to gain a 3-point lead before the official timeout!

    But after the official timeout came back, O'Neal, who continued to play, started to get angry. Zhang Hao's long-range shooting was not good at the beginning tonight, so Zhang Hao was replaced first. In the second quarter, he went to play center, and O'Neal continued to play.

    As O'Neal scored 9 points in 5 minutes and 22 seconds, raising his score in a single quarter to 17 points, the Lakers also overtook the score to 33-27 at the end of the first quarter, going from 3 points behind to 5 points ahead!

    17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in a single quarter, O'Neal's performance is simply not too cruel!

    At this time, it was much easier for Zhang Hao to play again. He cooperated with Kenny Anderson. If he didn't shoot well from long range, he would focus on cuts and breakthroughs. When it was time to lay up, he would distribute the ball. If there was a chance to counterattack, he would dunk him  ¡­

    The Celtics don't want to mess up this year. They are tired. They don't like messing around anymore, but they can still win. They have accumulated a lot after playing bad for several years, and they also work hard against the Lakers  However, the Lakers were in good overall shape, and Zhang Hao's poor long-range shot made up for O'Neal's strong play under the basket. The Celtics lasted one quarter.

    In the second quarter, Zhang Hao scored 9 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. After halftime, the Lakers led 61 to 51, extending their lead to 10 points.

    The Celtics work hard, but the harder they work, the sadder they become

    In the middle of the third quarter, Zhang Hao suddenly lobbed the ball inside. O'Neal scored two points with an alley-oop dunk. O'Neal's personal score increased to 31 points. Zhang Hao got his fifth assist of the game, 16 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.  The score stretched to 79 to 58. The Lakers scored 18 to 7 in the third quarter, and the point difference widened to 21 points. As the Celtics called a timeout, Silver Fox replaced most of the main players.  The lineup of Scheer, Jon Barry, Brent Barry, Sean Lukes and Ben Wallace came on.

    After the last game, Robert Pike was placed on the inactive list, and Ben Wallace began to get opportunities.

    It gave Robert Parker expectations, but in training, Robert Parker was too eager to prove his attitude, which made the Silver Fox worried. If this guy came on the court, he was too eager to prove himself

    Not all efforts will be rewarded. If the direction of efforts is wrong, it will go in the opposite direction, destroying the opportunities that one can strive for.

    Silver Fox only needs a qualified substitute, not a substitute who wants to prove his arrogance.

    In the end, the Lakers relied on O'Neal's 31 points in 22 minutes of playing time, Kenny Anderson's 15 points and 6 assists, and Zhang Hao's 16 points and 5 assists. The Lakers defeated the Celtics 106-88 and won 13 consecutive games.  Win!

    When the final whistle sounded, accompanied by overwhelming boos, Zhang Hao¡¯s system prompt also came.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao helped the Lakers defeat the Celtics as a main force. Congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 5 days of life bonus."

    ¡°Dream start:

    Special contract player Zhang Hao has helped the Lakers win their first 13 consecutive victories. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 10-day life bonus.

    The goal of 14 consecutive wins has been started, reward: 1 bronze lottery draw"

    "Old enemy:

    Special contract player Zhang Hao has helped the Lakers win against the Celtics for the fifth time in a row. Congratulations to the host for receiving a total of 9 days of life bonus.  "

    ? 24 days of life span per game, so nice!

    Playing against the Celtics is the happiest thing. As long as you maintain a winning streak against the Celtics, you will receive an additional 5-day lifespan reward and an additional -1 lifespan reward for the number of consecutive wins!

    Zhang Hao ignored the boos from the Celtics fans and walked into the tunnel His thoughts are now on the next opponent-the 76ers!

 Chapter 340 340. Tim Duncan with mediocre talent (4 updates, 17,000 words, please vote for me!)

    With a start of 10 wins and 5 losses, the 76ers have matched their opening performance of the 1985-86 season!

    That time, they had second-year Barkley and 31-year-old Moses Malone who was still in his prime.

    A better start than this. In the past 20 years, the 76ers only won the season in 1982-83.

    ?? 76ers fans are extremely happy now. After several years of failure, they are finally beginning to welcome success!

    And, it came faster than they expected!

    After 15 games, people can clearly judge that Duncan is at least in the top ten in the league when he enters the NBA. In 15 games, he averaged 23.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.

    In terms of data, among all centers this season, only O'Neal, who averaged 27.4 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.6 blocks per game, and David Robinson, who averaged 24.4 points, 13.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, are better than him.

    In terms of role on the court, of all the centers this season, only O'Neal is slightly better than Duncan, and Mourning is only about the same as Duncan!

    Duncan has repeatedly stated that he is not a center, but 76ers fans clearly stated that Duncan is a center when conducting street interviews on TV stations or newspapers.

    The reason is

    Zhang Hao is here!

    On November 27, at noon the day after playing the Celtics, the Lakers came to Philadelphia.

    The Lakers, who started with a 13-game winning streak, came to Philadelphia, and it was a blast.

    Unlike fans in Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Miami, and Boston, Philadelphia fans are extremely low-key. Even the media is very low-key. Zhang Hao was asked to be interviewed in the afternoon. When Zhang Hao came to the Wachovia Center for an interview,  The local media did not ask him some intense topics. They only asked weird questions such as "Does it feel exciting to have a winning streak?", "Has your life changed after winning FMVP?"

    This made Zhang Hao very puzzled.

    When Duncan was asked about Zhang Hao in an interview, he also answered with his poker face that seemed to remain unchanged for thousands of years: "I still have a lot to learn from Zhang Hao. I haven't received any honors yet. You guys  You shouldn't compare me to him, it's disrespectful to him."

    From Duncan, to the 76ers, to the local media, to the fans everything is extremely low-key.

    Anyway, as long as things related to Zhang Hao are mentioned, everyone in the 76ers team does not want Zhang Hao to notice their two top picks.

    You can compete with O'Neal, you can compete with Mourning, you can compete with David Robinson, Malone, Kemp, Vin Baker and other top insiders, even if these people are difficult to deal with, even if these people beat them 76  They might be able to go berserk when they were on the team, but they could accept it, but Zhang Hao

    Iverson was only hyped by the media during his rookie year, and he spent a few words talking about it. As a result, he can no longer get rid of the name of 58, and "ordinary rookie" has become a label that cannot be removed.

    Although Duncan is very fierce, so fierce that the national basketball community celebrates, they have another young player who can be compared with Zhang Hao.

    But the 76ers fans are calm and rational.

    Even when Zhang Hao was being interviewed and other media wanted to stir up trouble, the local media in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania would make fun of him. Even if they were hated by other media, they would admit it.

    Over the past ten years, except for the 1985-86 season when they had a chance to win the championship, they have never had another chance since then. Moses Malone, Barkley, Jose Hawkins, Maurice Cheeks In the past 10 years,  A large number of their stars have fled the city.

    It was not easy to get Iverson and Duncan, but we had to take good care of them and create a good development environment for them.

    As a city that has been a major NBA market since the 1960s, the basketball circles in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania are quite cohesive However, how can such a thing be done so perfectly?

    Most of the 76ers have no problem. Duncan has been timid about his speech from the beginning, but they have Iverson

    Originally, Iverson also wanted to calm down. He had nothing to do, but Duncan, his new partner, was like a good baby, and he had to take care of him.

    However, Time Warner Cable Sports, which caused the trouble, deliberately brought the topic to this aspect during an exclusive interview with Iverson on the afternoon when the Lakers came to Philadelphia, and also mentioned sensitive words such as "58" and "ordinary rookie".

    Then, Iverson couldn't help it anymore - "I never think that I am an ordinary player. Tim and I are the best duo in the world. We will definitely succeed. Who is the first-team center or first-team forward this year?"  Got it, I can¡¯t say yet, I believe it¡¯s Tim!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    At 9:30 in the morning on November 28, Iverson arrived at the arena an hour late.

    &nbThe lead between the Celtics' 16 championships and the Lakers' 12 championships is not particularly large. Before that, the Celtics had another lead over the Lakers to catch up with.

    Now, Zhang Hao once again commented on the 76ers' No. 1 pick, and he was still so mean.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s malice toward the young, high-ranking, well-played rookies is clearly on display!

    However, compared to Iverson in his rookie year, Duncan in his rookie year is much better. Let alone his rookie year, Iverson is unlikely to surpass Duncan in his second year, or even in the next two years.

    From a certain perspective, what Zhang Hao said is right. Duncan is now half a step behind O'Neal, who is probably the second best player in the league, maybe not even half a step. That means Jordan is clearly better than others.  First gear.

    At Duncan's level, it is impossible to say how much progress there will be, because he can really be compared with players like Larry Bird, and he can compete for the first place in the league with just one more obvious improvement.  People.

    With Duncan like this, public opinion generally believes that he will not be abused to the point of being unable to fight back like Iverson was in his rookie season. He has hope that he will not fall behind or even gain the upper hand in a matchup with O'Neal or Zhang Hao!

    Moreover, the 76ers are no longer the 76ers last season. The 76ers have become a team that can win at least 50 games.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s comments brought more attention to this game!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the Lakers?

    Iverson was ignored by Zhang Hao this time. There was another clip during Zhang Hao's interview that was not as popular as Duncan's comments, but it was also quite popular.

    "IversonOh, I seem to have said that when you say ordinary rookie, I can think of that ordinary player."

    When Duncan entered the NBA, he gave people the impression of a good baby Yes, the kind of good baby who has a player hanging on his body and smashes the ball into the basket. He talks little, plays hard, and has almost no off-court news.

    Iverson is different. He was beaten like that in his rookie year, but he still had to fight Zhang Hao, and then continued to be abused. He had the image of an unbeatable little giant.

    There are also O'Neal, who was exposed as early as the preseason, who can't stand Duncan, Kenny Anderson, who is dissatisfied with the nickname "King of Cross Steps" being taken away by Iverson, and Campbell, who wants to guard O'Neal

    Both teams are star-studded, and both teams are really strong. One is first in the Western Conference and the other is third in the Eastern Conference. It was an already popular game. After Iverson, an ordinary rookie, once again aroused Zhang Hao's interest, this game  Attention to the competition becomes even more intense!

    In addition to this, there is another very hot topic - Duncan's template is Zhang Hao.

    ¡°Except for not having Zhang Hao¡¯s occasionally overly flamboyant performance, Duncan is really similar to Zhang Hao in people¡¯s eyes, especially his expression

    ¡­¡­

    Duncan is low-key and like a good boy, but he is also ambitious.

    He wants to win the first team in his rookie season like Larry Bird and Zhang Hao.

    However, currently, there are five people who are his competitors.

    O¡¯Neal, David Robinson, Mourning, Zhang Hao, O¡¯Neal.

    ??Looking at the players coming out from the opposite side, good guys, we met two in one game!

    Originally, Duncan was troubled enough by being targeted by O'Neal, but due to the inevitable competition with O'Neal, he was already praised as the "strongest No. 1 pick in history", so he had no choice but to accept it.

    But being targeted by Zhang Hao is completely avoidable!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:?????????????????????????? The new No. 1 pick, who didn¡¯t say anything, but was feeling unhappy in his heart, glanced at Iverson with a resentful look after the opposing players entered the court, and ran out of the tunnel amidst the call of the DJ.

    The fans at the scene who just gave the Lakers fans violent boos immediately switched to overwhelming cheers!

    They have been hiding from Zhang Hao for so long. It has been almost a month since the regular season started. They have not tried to provoke Zhang Hao, but they are still being targeted.

    Since they were targeted, the fans at the scene also showed their cards. They just hate Zhang Hao and hate all the evil deeds Zhang Hao did to them last season!

    On the other side, Zhang Hao looked at the expressionless top pick with a small head who ran out

    "Tim Duncan, 21 years old, 211 cm, 115 kg, ability evaluation 97"

    "I'll wipe it!"

 Chapter 341 341. What should Duncan¡¯s nickname be?  (4K please monthly ticket)

    "Tim Duncan, 21 years old, height 211 cm, wingspan 230 cm, 115 kg, ability evaluation 97, offense 95, defense 98, passing 81, three-pointer -, fixed-angle mid-range shot 91, layup 99, free throw  58, speed 86, strength 98, jumping 93, endurance 98 pick-and-roll performer 91, post-up skills 95, cutting 93, jump step 88

    ??Averaging 38.6 minutes per game, 23.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.5 blocks per game

    ??53.4% ??shooting rate, 71.3% short-range shooting rate, 41.1% mid-range shooting rate, 58.6% free throw shooting rate"

    Zhang Hao read Duncan¡¯s player detection report and felt that this should be what the strongest insider should look like when entering the NBA, with top-notch basic skills, comprehensive skills, explosive physical fitness, and good physical strength

    "If I have to find fault, it's three-pointers and free throws, which are basically the same as O'Neal.

    I feel that the strength shown is even stronger than that of partnering with David Robinson in the original time and space!

    Zhang Hao can understand that Duncan's style of play at this time has too many overlaps with David Robinson. A year after David Robinson was retired, he still has the ability to hit the first team, and his style of play is almost the same as before. Duncan has just entered  NBA must be more in the mid-range, but Duncan's mid-range shot has certain limitations, and he is better at attacking the frame.

    He is also a teammate who averages 20+ points per game. Switching to the outside, Duncan has more room for performance.

    But this is too exaggerated!  Basically, entering the NBA is similar to Malone in his heyday!

    What a center or power forward should have, Duncan already had it when he entered the NBA!

    Such an opponent is not good

    ¡°The rookie¡¯s nightmare:

    ??Trigger object: 1997 first overall pick Tim Duncan.

    ??Trigger condition: Be interviewed before the game against the 76ers and make a fair evaluation of Tim Duncan.  (Triggered.)

    Basic goal: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers defeat the 76ers. On this basis, the total value of points + rebounds + blocks is higher than Tim Duncan.

    Reward: The total value of Zhang Hao's three data is higher than that of Tim Duncan, and how many days of life the host gets. If the difference exceeds 5, he will get a double lifespan reward. If the difference exceeds 10, he will get a 3x lifespan reward, and so on.

    Failure penalty: The bullying of the rookies is interrupted and this series of tasks is terminated.

    Advanced goal: Zhang Hao needs to let Tim Duncan become the background of his wonderful shots, and needs to complete at least 1 dunk, 1 steal, and 1 block against Tim Duncan.

    Advanced reward: 1 bronze draw.  "

    In this task, if you can complete the advanced goal, you will get 30 bronze draws worth 30 lives. The rewards for the basic goal are also very good.

    However, Campbell¡¯s defense is 91. Duncan, the rim protector, is top-notch in rim protection and assisting defense. The overall defense is 98 This is really no worse than the Heat¡¯s terrifying inside defense!

    Moreover, the Heat have Mourning as the core defensive core at the basket. Unlike the 76ers, when Campbell is resting, Duncan protects the frame no worse than Campbell!

    Zhang Hao feels a pain in the ass. He tried his best to score 28 points against the Heat. Duncan's statistics are definitely not bad. He rebounds very well and blocks shots very well It's very painful when he fails in the task. When he bullies other talented rookies  There will be a lot less fun and rewards from tasks

    However, this task is not the most difficult. Duncan is extremely capable and mature. He already has rich game experience when he first entered the NBA. However, he still has an advantage - Duncan is a traditional insider, like Russell.  , Ewing, Mourning, rather than Chamberlain, David Robinson, Olajuwon, O'Neal.

    After being interviewed this morning, another task was triggered.

    "Specially signed player Zhang Hao needs to make the mediocre and ordinary double number one pick combination feel the charming extreme talent, the fourth phase of the series of missions, Era Star Mission: Seeking Buddha Trigger."

    "Please ask the Buddha: Can the two top picks in the draft escape the "talent ceiling" of the genius Zhang Hao?

    Goal 1: In this game, Zhang Hao must score more goals from 45-degree angle shots from both sides than Tim Duncan.

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao must steal or block Allen Iverson at least twice in this game.

    Goal 3: Zhang Hao needs to complete at least one outside cross-step breakthrough goal and one mid-range single shot goal at a 45-degree angle in this game.

    Goal 4: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers win the game.

    Rewards: 1. Nicknamed Stone Buddha, 2. Start the King of Cross Steps advanced mission.  "

    In this task, the goals are more detailed. In Zhang Hao's opinion, each goal is not difficult, but when taken together, it is more troublesome.

    ? ??In a confrontation, O'Neal is better!

    O'Neal narrowly beat Duncan to touch the ball first and moved the ball backwards. The Lakers started a fast break!

    Other centers either have no intention of jumping the ball with O'Neal, or they are purely rushing to win the ball. If the latter loses the jump ball, they basically cannot stop the Lakers from starting a fast break.

    But after landing, Duncan bounced back like a small forward. His explosive power, explosive speed, balance and other physical qualities were fully demonstrated!

    Duncan quickly retreated to the three-point line, fought against O'Neal who was about to leave, and was able to withstand O'Neal's impact. Although Duncan was knocked into the air and jumped half a step back, he was not particularly affected.  Affected by this, he jumped back half a step and then immediately moved sideways, heading towards Zhang Hao.

    O'Neal slowed down due to confrontation at the three-point line. When he started again, Campbell, who retreated to the basket, was already on guard.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao made a quick pass as soon as O'Neal won the jump ball. Kenny Anderson passed the ball very quickly and passed it to Zhang Hao immediately.

    The moment Zhang Hao received the ball, he was blocked by George Lynch, who was very familiar with his route. Seeing Duncan move up, Zhang Hao dribbled the ball and rushed towards the gap between the two.  When the confrontation came together, he grabbed the ball, raised his arms, and forced his way through the pinch between George Lynch and Duncan

    Duncan is fearless, and he is not afraid to confront O'Neal. Zhang Hao looks thinner than him, so what is he afraid of "Hiss"

    When his chest collided with Zhang Hao's arm, Duncan had the illusion that he was hit by O'Neal who was holding his arm!

    The time I blocked O'Neal, it was a reasonable head-on collision without the ball. This time it felt completely different!

    Duncan rushed towards Zhang Hao and joined forces with George Lynch to prevent a breakthrough. Both of them were pushed away!

    Zhang Hao took two consecutive steps to the left sideline of the three-second zone, took off, layuphit!

    O'Neal was blocked, and it was basically impossible to cut in to attack Campbell, but he still cut along the center to the basket immediately, attracting Campbell's attention.

    At the same time, we are also ready to respond so that Zhang Hao can distribute the ball when he is defended by Campbell.

    Campbell trusted Duncan in defense this time and went to block O'Neal, but Zhang Hao actually scored one-on-two

    Campbell has a lot of trust in Duncan's defense. It can even be said that he trusts blindly. Regardless of whether he plays power forward or center, although Duncan may not be the best defender, he can definitely be ranked second or third among centers or power forwards.  .

    But thinking about it, it was Zhang Hao. Campbell recalled Zhang Hao who he had played with in his rookie seasonnormal situation.

    Duncan himself feels extremely incredible at this moment!

    Zhang Hao looks thinner than George Lynch, but he was so fierce during the confrontation!

    The first time he played against Zhang Hao, Duncan realized how incredible his template was.

    He had already put Zhang Hao in a very high position to make preparations, but as a result, Zhang Hao gave him a blow when he came up.

    Seeing Zhang Hao turn around and retreat with an expressionless expression as if he had completed an unguarded catch and layup, Duncan felt that he admired the opponent's expression

    Offensive and defensive transition, the 76ers attack.

    The Lakers retreated quickly and were highly motivated on defense.

    Although Zhang Hao grabbed the ball too early in the opening fast break, his take-off force was interfered by the previous flanking confrontation, and he did not complete the opening fast break with a dunk, and failed to trigger the bonus of "Dunk Master (Silver)", Zhang Hao's quick break  The attack was very exciting, and the fans at the scene burst into boos. The morale of the Lakers players was still high because of the successful opening fast break.

    Iverson advanced to the frontcourt, encountered Doug Christie's defense, and decisively began to break through!

    Doug Christie worked hard, but was still shaken away. He tried hard to keep up with Iverson's breakthrough, and he really kept up, but he turned around and rushed too hard, falling into Iverson's trap.  Johnson made a sudden stop outside the free throw line, and Doug Christie, who turned to pursue him, rushed over. Iverson made a sudden stop and took a long two-point shot

    Hit!

    Selecting Duncan, sending away Jerry Stackhouse, and signing Mark Jackson for $4.6 million in one year. These three operations allowed Iverson to face the Lakers without having to face each other again.  Defense against Zhang Hao!

    Jim Jackson has averaged 13.4 points per game so far this season and shot 46% from the field. After several years of social beatings, he was almost underpriced by various teams during the offseason. The 76ers gave him a generous salary mainly  Iverson can control the situation. He has played very honestly this year. He has excellent catching and shooting performance. He has strong containment and worse statistics, but his role is much better than Jerry Stackhouse.

    With Duncan taking away Zhang Hao's defense, Iverson has a better chance of singles at least in the first attack.

    Iverson had a great first attack, but

    "Allen Iverson, 22 years old, 183 cm (?), 75 kg, ability evaluation 89, offense 95, defense 79, three-pointer 87, mid-range shot 90, layup 93, speed 98, jumping 97, change of direction  99, 95 on pull-up jumpers 42.3% long two-point field goals, 2.7 long two-point field goals per game"

    When Iverson took action, Campbell retreated directly. Duncan maintained his rushing attitude, but also retreated immediately. Larry Brown's defensive discipline was not inferior to that of Pat Riley.

    When Zhang Hao ran to the frontcourt, he looked at Iverson's ability evaluation again. Iverson averaged 6.3 two-pointers per game. With this shot, he only took two steps into the three-point line, and he broke through diagonally.  direction, that is, the shot is one step away from the three-point line, and Iverson has just left the space and can directly throw a three-pointer. Doug Christie cannot cover such a big space, and Iverson does not have to go through so much trouble.  Using emergency stops to cause Doug Christie to lose position in pursuit makes it easier to take action.

    but!

    Iverson, who shot 34.1% from three-point range as a rookie last season and averaged 2.1 three-pointers on 6 three-point attempts per game, has only attempted 1.9 three-pointers per game so far this season and has not hit as many three-pointers as last season.  many!

    ¡°I didn¡¯t even have the opportunity to invest just now

    The 76ers averaged 16.1 three-pointers per game last season and averaged 9.5 three-pointers per game this season

    But consider that Larry Bird coached the Pacers with Reggie Miller. Last season, the Pacers averaged the lowest number of three-point attempts and field goals in the league, but the team's three-point shooting percentage of 38.1 ranked third in the league.  .

    When the Lakers attacked, Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt and lobbed the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal started with a single, without a strong dunk or turning hook angle, and the throw shot missed!

    Zhang Hao blocked Iverson's fast break after receiving Duncan's pass. Kenny Anderson switched defenses in time. Zhang Hao moved to the wing to intercept Duncan after grabbing the rebound and passing the ball. Doug Christie also did the same with George Lynch.  Very good, blocking the opening fast break of Iverson, George Lynch, and Duncan.

    The defensive counterattack of these three people is quite similar to that of Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao, and O'Neal of the Lakers. However, the impact is still a little inferior to the three, and the cooperation is even more different.

    The Silver Foxes deliberately consider tactics and train for fast breaks. The three brothers of the 76ers purely think of their own ideas.

    Iverson advanced to the frontcourt, and the one guarding the top arc became Kenny Anderson. At least Kenny Anderson could keep up with the speed.

    However, Kenny Anderson's defense is just a non-delayed defense. Facing Iverson without the constraints of Jerry Stackhouse, it is a bit miserable

    Iverson once again chose to break through and attack. He had a great sense of rhythm and good timing. He rushed to the right side of the three-second zone and was one step away from the free throw line. He stopped and made a jump shot before Rick Fox's defense was in place and hit it again!

    Iverson scored 4 points in a row at the beginning!

    4 to 2, the 76ers took the lead at the beginning!

    When the Lakers attack, O'Neal directly gestures and does not play alone. If it was last season, he would definitely continue to play alone against an opponent like Campbell, and at least perform at an All-Star level. But now, he has chosen to temporarily  Step aside and pull away to the left side of the three-second zone.

    After receiving O'Neal's signal, Kenny Anderson singled out Iverson on the outside. Iverson was extremely defensive and aggressive, fierce confrontation and aggressive rushing. Kenny Anderson was experienced, protected the ball well, and caught the ball.  Seizing the opportunity, he made a beautiful dribble from behind, Iverson was out of position, and Kenny Anderson successfully broke through!

    However, after Kenny Anderson broke through to the mid-range, he fell into the 76ers' team defense.

    Kevin Garnett will be known as a super defensive player who can support a defensive system on his own in the future, but many people will forget that Duncan suffered the double devastation of meniscus tear and plantar fasciitis before he lost his explosive speed.  , is also a super defensive player who can support the defensive system alone!

    In this respect, Duncan is a little weaker than Garnett, but Duncan's teammates are better equipped, with Campbell behind him and flanking him.Missed!

    Although he didn¡¯t score, Duncan¡¯s decisiveness and accuracy in distributing the ball were very good, but he just didn¡¯t make the shot.

    It can be seen that the play style is simple, but the threat of the combination of Duncan and Iverson is too great, simple and very effective!

    At the beginning, the Lakers were unexpectedly at a clear disadvantage. After playing for more than 4 minutes and the score reached 7-11, the Lakers called a timeout!

    ¡­¡­

    For the first time against the two No. 1 picks, the game reports and game videos were not comprehensive enough. After all, the sample was only a dozen games. It felt like the 76ers averaged 95.8 points per game and allowed 90.4 points per game. They were a strong defensive team.  As for the offensive team, coached by Larry Brown, the Lakers estimate that the defensive end will not be very difficult, but the difficulty will be on the offensive end.

    On the offensive end, it is indeed difficult for the Lakers to play, but what is even more difficult is the defensive end!

    The Silver Fox feels that Larry Brown has a great life!

    As an old coach who has coached NBA teams for more than ten years, Silver Fox knows other old coaches very well. Larry Brown has no ability to train new players. The great thing is to build defense. He must directly give him a group of mature players.  Only in this way can he lead the team to a good record, and he has no coaching ability on the offensive end But Duncan is already the top offensive insider when he enters the NBA, and at the same time, he is also the top defensive end.

    ??The current starting lineup of the 76ers, Larry Brown starts with a Tianhu start!

    From the first positional battle attack, Silver Fox noticed something was wrong. After fighting for several rounds, he also thought of a solution.

    Just keep it simple

    The combination of Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao, Doug Christie, Jason Williams and O'Neal was replaced.

    After receiving the instruction, Jason Williams nodded vigorously and said to Silver Fox: "Don't worry, coach, leave that rookie to me!"

    Hey, I¡¯ll go!  Zhang Hao looked at Jia Dajun Is he so brave?

    When Jason Williams said these words, he really gave his teammates a very reliable feeling.

    ??????????? Never mind him, let¡¯s just do this for now!

    On the other side, the 76ers did not rotate, and some things did not exist. Iverson averaged 42.4 minutes per game this season, Duncan 38.6 minutes, Campbell 33 minutes, Jim Jackson 37.6 minutes, George Lynch 32 minutes

    Larry Brown's coaching philosophy - use the main players to death if they are not exhausted!

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the Lakers attack.

    In the first four minutes or so, the Lakers focused on team offense. As a result, only Zhang Hao had a fast break, O'Neal had a pie, and Doug Christie had an open three-pointer. No other points were scored, and they were too focused on figuring out what to do.  Scored but couldn't score, which affected the defense. The changes were made a little hastily, and then the defense was not done wella vicious cycle.

    This time Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt very directly. Facing Iverson's defense, he changed direction and made a strong breakthrough. Before Jim Jackson's defense was in place, he took a long two-point shot half a step away from the free throw line

    I just rushed to shoot. I didn¡¯t even consider whether other teammates on the wings or bottom line would have a chance. I just wanted to shoot and missed!

    However, Zhang Hao's cut in restrained George Lynch and Duncan, O'Neal rushed to attract Campbell, and Jason Williams made a tip-in behind Duncan who was carrying Zhang Hao!

    It is indeed very reliable!  Big Jia scored as soon as he came up!

    When the 76ers attack, Zhang Hao goes to guard Iverson, and the Lakers also have another inside man to confront Duncan.

    Duncan received the ball with Jason Williams at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the free throw line. The Lakers players looked expectantly Duncan received the ball and hit Jason Williams twice with fierce force.  James crashed into the three-second zone, turned around, and shot a short jumper from a 45-degree anglehit!

 Chapter 343 343. Rookie, I don¡¯t want to... (3 updates, 13,000 words, please vote for me!)

    Zhang Hao wanted to vomit blood when he saw Duncan's irritable performance!

    Did you agree to leave it to you?  This damn thing has no impact at all!  It¡¯s like they¡¯re just playing around!

    13 to 9, the 76ers continue to maintain a 4-point lead!

    Duncan not only looks like a calm and cautious player, he is really calm and cautious. When confronting Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao always crosses his arms. Duncan feels Zhang Hao's iron elbows that make people hairy.  He didn't think about playing from behind. He waited until Zhang Hao was guarding Iverson before starting to operate, being extremely cautious.

    When I met Jason Williams on defense, I obviously felt that the opponent was an ordinary coolie center with relatively good athletic ability. His single defense skills were not good, his height was not great, but he had a lot of strength Duncan made a decisive decision  hammer.

    However, Silver Fox was quite satisfied with this and sat down. The main thing was to look at the offense.

    Kenny Anderson continues to play in singles. When he plays more firmly, there is O'Neal under the basket, Zhang Hao is also pressing the defense down the line, and Jason Williams is threatening to rush, he has a really good chance!

    Doug Christie also cooperated better this time. He ran around the top arc and took George Lynch away, leaving Jim Jackson with the task of shrinking defense. Kenny Anderson couldn't guard Iverson, and Iverson immediately  Defense one also cannot cause substantial interference to Kenny Anderson.

    George Lynch, who was chasing Doug Christie, moved early when he was close to the top arc. When Kenny Anderson broke through Iverson, George Lynch blocked it in time, and Doug Christie counterattacked.  Running to the left side of the free throw line, Kenny Anderson scored the ball, and Doug Christie made a jump shot from the free throw line

    In!

    When retreating from defense, Zhang Hao pulled Jason Williams and gave him a few instructions.

    When it comes to the 76ers' offense, the style of play is simple, that is, players can play how they want to play. Duncan forced Jason Williams to take a step back from the free throw line.

    Duncan is not only powerful in explosive power, but also very powerful in static strength!

    But Jason Williams didn¡¯t flinch at all. He was like a weakling who couldn¡¯t be beaten. No matter how much he suffered from his strength, he still resisted and held on even tighter than the last time.

    Duncan received the ball and found a better gap than in the previous round. He turned left and walked off the line!

    When he reached the bottom line at close range, Duncan noticed something was wrong. The high-post passing space was blocked by Zhang Hao's huge body and quick movements. O'Neal blocked the right side of the three-second zone. Duncan did not hesitate, one meter away from the baseline on the right side of the three-second zone.  Jump shot

    The ball was obviously crooked, hit the neck of the basket, bounced, and fell into the frame!

    Although he scored, the Silver Fox on the sidelines was a little surprised. What he wanted was for Jason Williams to come up and consume Duncan like brown candy. Who knew that Jason Williams would actually take the initiative to give Duncan a breakthrough space and lure Duncan?  It seems like I'm not in a position where I'm used to shooting!

    ¡°This Jia giant, who only knows how to focus on rebounding, still has such vision and awareness?

    As the head coach, Silver Fox obviously realized that Duncan is not as confident as his previous turnaround jumper in this position!

    However, O'Neal moved to cover Duncan's breakthrough, and there was no problem. Zhang Hao intercepted the pass at the high post

    In the next round, Kenny Anderson missed a long two-point jumper. Duncan turned to the other defensive line and made a one-step throw in the middle of the free throw line. Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound and called a timeout. At 6 minutes and 21 seconds, the score was 11 to 11.  15, the Lakers fell behind by 4 points and entered the official timeout!

    Silver Fox, who was about to call a timeout, clenched his tactical board, feeling a sense of crisis spreading

    He felt it was time to call a timeout. They had a more stable way of scoring and had successfully caused trouble for Duncan. But at this stage, he felt it was time to make more specific and further adjustments. As a result, the dead kid also  Noticed this!

    ¡­¡­

    Entering the timeout phase, the coaches of the two teams basically did completely different things.

    Larry Brown keeps emphasizing defense, but he doesn't have much to do on the offensive end. The players are playing very well. They haven't made a three-pointer so far today. It's very good and excellent.

    Silver Fox has begun a very big adjustment.

    The timeout was about to end, and when the rotating players from the two teams came on the court, Silver Fox was stunned.

    He took a gamble and put on two point guards. Fisher and Kenny Anderson played together, and Brian Shaw, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao partnered in the frontcourt. As a result, the opposite side also sent two point guards!

    Larry Brown sent out a combination of Eric Snow, Iverson, George Lynch, Duncan and Campbell.

    Zhang Hao was also surprised, but immediately remembered that Larry Brown made the best choice when coaching Iverson.Yes, I'm telling the truth. After just one game, Duncan felt that Zhang Hao was qualified to look down on anyone's talent.

    Zhang Hao now seems to have a lot of room for improvement, and there seems to be a lot of technology that can be developed, but Zhang Hao is already so strong!

    Even that is far from a mature defense, Zhang Hao has the talent to do better, and it is not bad now.

    However, Duncan is still confident. Judging from the situation in the first quarter, Duncan is very sure that he is better than Zhang Hao!

    Just as he was about to turn back to the bench to listen to Larry Brown's defensive arrangements, Duncan saw Zhang Hao walking towards him. He stopped his feet and Zhang Hao walked to his side.

    ¡°Rookie, I didn¡¯t want to, but you successfully caught my attention!¡±

 Chapter 344 344. I¡¯m bald and I¡¯ve become stronger (please vote for 4K)

    I thought O'Neal would have no big problem against rookie Duncan, but after recalling it, in the original time and space, from 1997 to 1999, three years in the playoffs, O'Neal, who had not gained weight, faced Malone with Ostertag, and Big  Duncan, who gained weight after injury, can carry David Robinson in the low post. In the first two years, O'Neal had two All-Stars in Van Exel and Eddie Jones, and two high-quality role players in Fox and Horry. In 1999, there were already three players.  Kobe Bryant ended up with 1 win and 12 losses against the two. He was brutally beaten in the playoffs for three consecutive years and was swept twice.

    As a teammate, Zhang Hao hopes that O'Neal can extend the golden period of his career longer, gain weight later, or even not gain weight at all. When Malone gets old, he won't have to worry so much. There is only a human shield without Malone, and it is of no use.  There's no need to worry about Nate, but Duncan is stronger than expected!

    At first, Zhang Hao thought that Duncan¡¯s strength was around 95, which was similar to Mourning, but look at the 76ers, who had Duncan directly rush to the minimum strength of 50 wins

    I really didn¡¯t underestimate Duncan, it¡¯s just that Duncan was better than anyone expected when he first entered the NBA. He almost doubled the first team in his first year, and double first team in his second year, beating Garnett, O¡¯Neal, Rasheed Wallace, and Larry along the way.  -Johnson, won the championship with 15 wins and 2 losses, won the FMVP After playing for two years, he was regarded as the most powerful forward in history. He was really too powerful.

    Of course, this is the first time we play against Duncan. Duncan plays at home, is well prepared, and is precociousThe next time we play against each other, with experience and more samples of Duncan's games, theoretically it will be much easier.

    But thinking about O'Neal's previous encounters with the Jazz Twin Towers, and his recent encounters with the Heat and 76ers Twin Towers Zhang Hao felt that O'Neal should gain weight, because if he gained weight, wouldn't O'Neal have played for 19 years?

    It means that if you gain weight, you will be more likely to get injured and you will be lazier

    This is not important, the important thing is that now, he Zhang must try his best in certain competitions!  At least this season, when playing against those specific opponents, he needs to stand up.

    "It's really hard to lie downWho said O'Neal would only have three consecutive games with a defender? UhI don't seem to be a defenderAm I holding back?"

    Being prepared, Zhang Hao returned to the bench, asked Ben Wallace to take out the small bag, took out a box, and pulled out a small bag. It was made in the small factory opened by Buckley, customized by a dedicated person, and the quality of the raw materials is guaranteed.

    Finding Brian Xiao, Zhang Hao handed the bag to him and said, "Mr. Xiao, can you put it on for me?"

    Brian Xiao is very familiar with this. He even wears one on his head. He bought it at Buckley¡¯s store, with flowing side bangs

    However, he wears this thing because he has lost most of his hair. The young man in front of him, who is not yet 21 years old, has thick hair. It is said that he asked the barber to thin it when he had his hair cut

    ??He helped Zhang Hao put on the hair condom in a few moments. At this moment, Brian Xiao was very sad and angry!

    He has no hair and pretends to have hair. This guy is good. He has hair but he likes to do things and pretends to have no hair!

    Unable to bear it anymore, Brian Xiao asked: "Akers, why are you wearing this?"

    On the Lakers' bench, other people's attention has long been focused on Zhang Hao. Not only his teammates and coaching staff, but also many fans and the opposite bench are looking at them.

    Wearing a wig on set, forget about the wig, it is actually a bald head, and the skin color is customized. The designer carefully crafted it. After it is tightly attached, you can¡¯t tell it is fake. It looks like a real bald head  A little handsome!

    Zhang Hao touched his bald head, shrugged, and responded: "I am bald, and I have become stronger!"

    Stability is a factor. The Silver Foxes wanted to use Jason Williams to consume Duncan. The Lakers seemed to have shooting angles that Duncan was even more unaccustomed to, such as the front and the bottom line. However, in the second half of the first quarter, Duncan had already  There have been adjustments, and after the intersession rest, the adjustments are more in place.

    The adjustment method is actually very simple, just don¡¯t go to a 45-degree angle immediately. Of course, this is based on Duncan¡¯s super strength, explosive power, and basic footwork skills, so he can play with such ease.

    And Duncan¡¯s style of play does not consider whether it is beautiful or not. He just used the ugly one. A calm expression is directly proportional to a calm mind.

    The Lakers offense.

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, intending to lob the ball to O'Neal for a single, but Zhang Hao first came to the 45-degree angle on the right side and leaned on Tim Thomas to ask for the ball.

    Kenny Anderson believed that it would be more effective to let O'Neal play Duncan at this time. The Lakers let O'Neal rest in the first quarter just to make up for the time difference. At the beginning of the second quarter, when Campbell went to rest, they let O'Neal play Duncan. Zhang Hao wanted the ball at this time.  , Kenny Anderson feels unsafe

    Then Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Zhang Hao who was leaning on Tim Thomas.

    There are so many little tricks to call Thomas?

    Tim Thomas' defense reminded Zhang Hao of the Heat's Kurt Thomas. He turned around to face the basket, Zhang Hao used his big head to head against Tim Thomas, pushed the opponent back a step, and took off 45 degrees on the right side.  The mid-range shot from the corner free throw line was hit!

    Zhang Hao scored. The 76ers were not surprised, but it was too easy!

    Use confrontation to open up space, grab the ball to the speed of being ready to shoot, the speed of the jump, the sense of rhythm, the smoothnessit is almost a perfect singles in front of the frame!

    In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Zhang Hao scored 6 points and 1 assist, which was very impressive. However, at that time, Zhang Hao relied on cross-stepping from the outside, relying on his size advantage in breakthroughs, and relying on his super touch in confrontations under the basket How can there be such a thing?  One goal so easy?

    Larry Brown's defensive coaching ability is really good. Transforming a team's defense will be very fast as long as the players have enough conditions. Pat Riley, Jeff Van Gundy, Old Nelson before going crazy, etc.  Not as good as Larry Brown.

    The 76ers have fully studied the Lakers, and they have studied Zhang Hao particularly well. They know that Zhang Hao relies on O'Neal, Kenny Anderson, Rick Fox and others to support the regular stage against the Heat, and Zhang Hao exerts his strength at critical moments.  This style of play is Zhang Hao's most effective and strongest style of play.

    Zhang Hao made an early effort in the second half of the first quarter, and the 76ers failed to widen the point difference when O'Neal took a break. They were not upset, because Zhang Hao played like that, as long as they could hold on to O'Neal and Kenny Anderson.  Perform in regular time and they will win in the end!

    But now, Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring is too easy and simple!

    There is no fixed area compared to singles outside the three-point line, no easier to be flanked and cut off than singles to the basket, and no easier to be defended than breakthroughs The reason why mid-range shots can be so effective even when the efficiency is so low.  The shooting areas that top stars value most. Even the future Stephen, 35% of his shots are in the mid-range, 48% of his shots are from outside the three-point line, and 17% of his shots are at the basket.

    It is because shooting in this area is the hardest to defend. Although it is the most difficult to practice well, if you can really maintain stability in mid-range singles

    For example, Duncan hit the board at a 45-degree angle from within the free throw line to the close area, and has a 44% shooting rate since the beginning, and has a 37% shooting rate from the free throw line to two points longer, which means that the 76ers can take the initiative tonight.  important reasons for rights.

    Watching Zhang Hao easily single out Tim Thomas and hit a mid-range shot, even the two old teammates George Lynch and Campbell who were resting on the sidelines were a little panicked

    At this time, Duncan, who was serving the ball, saw that Zhang Hao did not retreat, but stretched out his hand towards him, palms upward, made a fist, stretched out his index finger, and hooked towards him

    Provocation!

    Zhang Hao is provoking!

    Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Bill Walton even exclaimed!

    Partner Hubie Brown brainstormed and asked Bill Walton: "Bill, you said that Akers occasionally changes his look and jersey, is he trying to disguise himself, pretending to be someone he is not, so that he can express different emotions?"

    This statement Bill Walton nodded, it makes sense!

    Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why Zhang Hao likes to change jerseys and toss his hair.

    It¡¯s like someone wearing a mask to attend a masquerade party and daring to do things that they normally wouldn¡¯t dare to do.

    Bill Walton admires Hubie Brown very much, he is well-founded and convincing

    On the court, Duncan, who had the same poker face as Zhang Hao, was stunned when he saw Zhang Hao curling his fingers and turning around to retreat.

    Duncan's strong self-regulation ability allowed him to suppress his surprise. He now has to ensure a good offense.

    Their current style of play has not changed at all, which is team defense + star-led offense.

    Mark Davis, a second-round pick in the 1995 class. From the 1995 class to the current 97 class, there have been too many outstanding players. This one is also the same. In his rookie season, he averaged 0.9 steals and 10 minutes per game in 10 minutes per game.  This season he averages 20 minutes of playing time and 1.5 steals. He has a salary of US$330,000 this season. He is 201 cm tall and 95 kg. He has excellent athletic ability. He has averaged 5.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game so far this season. He is a very good substitute defensive player.  forward.

    Aaron McGee, a first-round pick in the 1994 class, signed a seven-year, $12 million long-term contract in his rookie year. In his second year, he averaged 10.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, but lost his position in his third year.  , was traded to the Pistons. Larry Brown took a fancy to this player with a fierce style of play, and asked the management to bring him back during the Jerry Stackhouse trade, and he became a very good substitute.

    Tim Thomas, dirty

    Coupled with Duncan, dragging Iverson along during the rotation, the 76ers also have a very strong defense.

    Therefore, it is more important to attack well.

    28 to 25, with 3 points left in the lead, Duncan came to the frontcourt and continued to receive Iverson's pass for a single.

    After attracting Kenny Anderson's attack, Duncan distributed the ball and Aaron McGee made a throw from the baseline He was very lucky. O'Neal was blocked in place, and Aaron McGee's soaring throw came down unexpectedly.  Hollow hit!

    30 to 25, the 76ers continued to maintain a 5-point lead.

    When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao ran to the frontcourt and continued to catch the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side for a single.

    The expectations of the 76ers were disappointed. Zhang Hao's goal just now was not an accident. He is 208 centimeters tall, has a wingspan of 216 centimeters, and weighs 105 kilograms. Tim Thomas makes many small moves, but it cannot affect Zhang Hao's mood. His height, wingspan, and weight are not an advantage at all.

    Tim Thomas¡¯s sudden shot caused interference, but in the end there was no interference. Zhang Hao caught the ball and turned around to push away Tim Thomas¡¯ mid-range shot from a 45-degree angle from the free throw line!

    Zhang Hao was not in a hurry to overtake the score or anything like that. He played honestly and steadily to see if the other side could hold on first.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t have to wait long, the 76ers¡¯ next offense was solid!

    It was Kenny Anderson who double-teamed to steal the ball. Aaron McGee cut to the ball at close range and continued to make a strong shot against O'Nealthis time he hit the basket directly on the neck!

    O¡¯Neal focuses on defense and rebounding. After covering up the defense, he moves quickly to grab the defensive rebound and protect it.

    The 76ers were very active on defense. Larry Brown was unable to do anything, which was amazing. Aaron McGee immediately interfered with Kenny Anderson's catch, and the whole court was in a pressing defense.  The 76ers pressed deeper to prevent the Lakers from counterattacking. O'Neal found Zhang Hao at the free throw line and passed the ball high, avoiding interference from Tim Thomas. Zhang Hao received the ball and counterattacked!

    Iverson was the first to retreat. When he retreated to the three-point line, he saw Zhang Hao pushing forward. He played like he was risking his life. When Zhang Hao approached the three-point line, he did not dodge, but took the initiative to attack and pounce.  Rob!

    Zhang Hao suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, pulled horizontally, and dribbled the ball behind his back The fans at the scene screamed when Iverson pounced on him, fearing that Iverson would be hit by Zhang Hao, but the exclamations immediately followed.  It turned into scolding

    Zhang Hao's dribbling movement behind him changed direction, and Iverson didn't even touch the corner of Zhang Hao's clothes when he pounced!

    Passing Iverson, there was no one under the basket, Zhang Hao easily dunked the ball into the basket.

    27 to 30, the Lakers once again narrowed the point difference to 3 points, and Zhang Hao's personal score also increased to 16 points!

    Duncan, who was trying his best to catch up, saw Zhang Hao pass Iverson with an Iverson-style change of direction at a very close distance

    This damn characterYuan Xiu now has the same expression, and Iverson also turned into a poker face

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the Lakers sent out a combination of Fisher, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Zhang Hao, and O'Neal.

    The 76ers sent a combination of Iverson, Jim Jackson, George Lynch, Duncan and Campbell.

    The 76ers attack.

    It was definitely impossible to give in like this. Duncan prepared to play a single to stabilize the situation. Campbell pulled to the middle distance of the right baseline. Duncan went directly to the low post on the left side of the three-second zone, leaning against Zhang Hao.

    After receiving a pass from Iverson, Duncan played with his back and had very good footwork. He may be the most mature player in the history of the NBA in his rookie year. There is no one in the history. If he plays Zhang Hao one-on-one in the low post, he has a high probability of success.  , but O'Neal has long been accustomed to switching positions with Zhang Hao on the defensive end to play power forward, shrinking in time.

    It is obvious that Duncan adjusted his playing style as the game progressed. At the beginning, Duncan has been using his explosive speed, turning speed, take-off heightetc., but in the second half of the first quarter, he reduced his jumping, and by the second  section, start to make more use of movement and static power

    Duncan has a very good physical distribution plan and is extremely mature.

    But the adjustment must be to try to make up for the decline when it declines. It seems that the performance is very stable. There must be no problem in one-on-one, but one-on-two Duncan avoided O'Neal's interference hook and encountered Zhang Hao's head-on block!

    Rick Fox grabbed the ball, and O'Neal rushed down immediately Rick Fox was hugged by George Lynch and committed a tactical foul.

    The tactical foul prevented the Lakers' fast break, but it couldn't stop Zhang Hao from breaking through in singles from the outside!

    Zhang Hao crossed the outside line and changed direction to break through Duncan, got into the basket and met Campbell's defense for a pull-up layuphit!

    O'Neal was still thinking about the magical logic of "If Akers can't make a shot, I'll get 2 points + 1 rebound on a tip-in", but ended up being lonely in the rush.

    Campbell clearly felt that Zhang Hao was even more powerful than in the second half of the first quarter!

    ¡°Furthermore, it¡¯s not that his physical strength has declined and Zhang Hao is still the same as before. He has rested for half a quarter and his physical strength is fine now It just feels like Zhang Hao is stronger!

    As an old teammate, Campbell felt that it was the outstanding performance of their two top picks in the first quarter that stimulated Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao exploded!

    Because of his trust in this opponent¡¯s ability, Campbell saw many exaggerated performances from Zhang Hao in his rookie year.

    In Campbell's view, Duncan's strength under normal circumstances may be better than Zhang Hao's now, but when Zhang Hao exploded he was even more powerful than when he exploded two years ago!

    George Lynch, who just tried to defend Zhang Hao but failed to break through, felt even deeper!

    The staff helped him get back the ring that was in the closet in the locker room and witnessed Zhang Hao¡¯s craziness in the tiebreaker in last season¡¯s finals

    Two of the 76ers' top five starters are starting to think they can't beat them.

    This sentiment is spreading throughout the 76ers team.

    Even Duncan had the idea that he couldn't beat him.

    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t have a competitive spirit. If his competitive spirit is overwhelming, he will also be unwilling to give in. Although it can¡¯t be seen on his face But his calm brain allows him to distinguish the situation more clearly

    At this time, among the 76ers' starters, there was only one person who was still very motivated - Allen Iverson.

    He also had the same idea, but he just wanted to fight!

    The unyielding pride is most vividly reflected in Iverson.

    The indomitable character is worthy of admiration, even in the face of pressure

    Well, even though Iverson became the boss of the 76ers in his second year, Duncan doesn't compete with him. He's similar in age and both are No. 1 picks. Anyone can come, but in terms of strength, Duncan is obviously better than Iverson now.  Too many.

    Zhang Hao went to guard Duncan, and Doug Christie guarded Iverson. Iverson played well, but O'Neal guarded the basket, Zhang Hao stared at Duncan, and Iverson was alone on the outside with someone entering the power stage.  The winning combination battle

    At 11 minutes and 26 seconds of the second quarter, Zhang Hao reversed and cut in. Duncan knew that the ball might not form an effective defense but still actively retreated to the basket. When Zhang Hao received the ball, he took off and smashed the ball into the basket, Duncan just retreated to the basket.  Under the basket

    Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket through Duncan, and the Lakers opened the point difference to 11 points 56-45!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 346 346. You are like Buddha (please vote for 4K)

    Finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, Iverson missed a three-pointer from the outside, Zhang Hao also missed a three-pointer from outside, and O¡¯Neal made a tip-in and timed out.

    After halftime, the Lakers led by 11 points!

    Throughout the second quarter, the Lakers played a terrifying 35-19 quarter!

    Mainly in the second half of the second quarter, after Duncan reduced his impact and violent play to score, the 76ers' offense could not keep up, and O'Neal and Zhang Hao began to join forces

    In fact, Duncan can definitely play like he did in the first half of the first quarter, and he can also play for a long time, but he is too mature. He always wants to maintain a high level throughout the game and never takes risks in his playing style Of course this is  A little bit, but with his advantages, it would be more miserable when his opponent performs better.

    The current Iverson is not enough to rise above the already strong strength of the 76ers.

    Many people say that Kobe and Duncan would be terrible if they were together in their prime. It makes sense. The two complement each other very well.

    After halftime, Zhang Hao's personal score increased to 28 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks 18 points in a single quarter!

    He felt that Duncan was very magical. He wanted to find a chance to dunk on Duncan many times in the second quarter, but when he took the initiative to find a chance, he didn't. But in the round when he was playing without the ball, Duncan got under the basket and was dunked by him

    Teammates and coaches are all used to Zhang Hao's habitual outbursts.

    And it is obvious that when Zhang Hao abuses vegetables, the frequency of outbreaks is significantly higher than at other times.

    During halftime, O'Neal whispered behind his back: "Bully the weak and fear the strong!"

    ??Although, the new top scholar Zhang Hao bullied was so "soft" that he was so soft and tough that he could strangle people

    At this time, O'Neal didn't want to cause trouble for Zhang Hao. He increasingly understood Zhang Hao's importance to him.

    In most games, as long as the opponent does not explode to the extreme or their own state does not deteriorate to the extreme, he can lead the team to crush the opponent.

    But in the last four games, he has encountered the Jazz, Heat, and 76ers, and the interior defense of the three teams has frustrated him.

    At this time, Zhang Hao¡¯s role became apparent.

    He was thinking of ways to break through this predicament, but he knew one thing better - now, he needed Zhang Hao just as Zhang Hao needed him.

    When he wanted to show off his power, Zhang Hao gave him the opportunity. Now that Zhang Hao wants to abuse others, he just needs to help him.

    "Personal grudges, let's talk about it later"

    During the halftime break, Silver Fox made adjustments to his playing style around Zhang Hao.

    On the other side of the lounge, Larry Brown didn't care, he first cursed, and then continued to strengthen his defense.

    As for the offensive end where they encountered trouble in the second quarter, Larry Brown did not mention it. He felt that if the defense is good and the opponent is restricted from scoring, the players will find ways to score.

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers sent a combination of Fisher, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    The 76ers went directly to the starting lineup, a combination of Iverson, Jim Jackson, George Lynch, Duncan, and Campbell.

    Zhang Hao was speechless when he saw the opponent's rotation.

    Not every lineup can average 40 minutes per player like Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Ben Wallace

    However, if the 76ers failed to get the No. 1 pick, Zhang Hao originally planned to send Ben Wallace to Larry Brown for two years of training. It is hard to say whether he can become a teammate in the future, but Zhang Hao, a player from his own agency,  Of course I hope Ben Wallace has a good future.

    At the beginning of the third quarter, the 76ers attacked first.

    After Iverson arrived in the frontcourt, he encountered a direct attack from Kenny Anderson and Fisher. He passed the ball to Jim Jackson. Zhang Hao defended it. Jim Jackson added a huge fadeaway jumper and missed!

    After halftime, Duncan resumed his fierce play at the beginning of the game and grabbed the offensive rebound!

    At different stages, different playing styles are used to deal with it. In the original time and space, Duncan lost his explosive power and explosive speed due to injuries and could immediately switch playing styles because he already knew how to do it!

    After grabbing the offensive rebound, O'Neal defended in place, Duncan scored from the left baseline in the middle distance, and Campbell was very keen to open up and respond The ball was patted down in flight!

    Duncan's eyes widened when he saw Zhang Hao grabbing the ball, being hugged by Campbell, and Campbell committing a tactical foul Shouldn't Zhang Hao be cutting off the passing and receiving lines in the high post area?

    Duncan has an excellent vision and noticed the sharp reactions of his teammates on the outside. George Lynch was cutting in and Jim Jackson was running. He thoughtI yelled at Duncan in the second quarter, and Duncan wouldn't be affected at all, but when he was beaten to garbage time and yelled at Duncan became irritable!

    There are ways to anger Duncan, but the conditions are rather harsh.

    Without any accidents, Brian Shaw led Fisher, Joan Barry, Jason Williams, and Sean Lukes to play the entire final quarter. In the end, the Lakers slaughtered the 76ers 113-90.  Win 14 consecutive games!

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao¡¯s system prompt came.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao helped the Lakers defeat the 76ers as a main player. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 5-day life bonus."

    "Remaining life span is 1168 days, usable life span is 1167 days; remaining number of draws (opportunities): Silver draw chance: 1 time, Bronze draw number (opportunities): 2 (1)"

    Tonight, he spent 120 destiny points. The center¡¯s three important statistics of points, rebounds and blocks were 21 points higher than Duncan¡¯s. Zhang Hao just regained 120 destiny points!

    ?????????????????????No profit or loss.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Except for bullying the rookie again

    Zhang Hao had just finished reading the system prompts. Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhengping, who were on the court to explain the game today, were here.

    Sun Zhengping loves to steal the spotlight and said excitedly: "Akers, the two No. 1 picks really can't fly out of your Wuzhishan. The two No. 1 picks are still being played by you You look like Buddha now!"

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Weiping next to him, and his distant cousin expressed his helplessness. He was here to commentate on a game. Who would have thought that a football commentator would be his partner

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    45 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks in three quarters Facing the 76ers' double champions, Zhang Hao's performance was extremely brutal!

    Before the third quarter was over, Zhang Hao had already led his team into garbage time.

    The scene of Duncan slapping the floor wildly when he was replaced, Iverson sitting still like he did after every game against the Lakers last season the media has added a lot of new material.

    The 76ers took the initiative at the beginning. Many media expected this. Duncan has proven his strength. However, many top teams were caught off guard by Duncan when they played against the 76ers for the first time this season.

    No one underestimates Duncan, but basically he should be compared with Zhang Hao in his rookie year, that is, a rookie who can perform comprehensively enough to compete for the first team.

    Very few people would have thought that Duncan would be the strongest frontcourt player compared to Malone and O'Neal when he entered the NBA.

    But no one thinks that the Lakers will be beaten by the 76ers. The Lakers will definitely be able to turn the situation around later.

    But the way it turns back is too crazy!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 347 347. New record: 17 consecutive wins at the start!  (4 updates and 16,000 words, please vote for me!)

    The way people expect the Lakers to turn the situation around is like playing against the Jazz, Bulls, and Heat. The Lakers use O'Neal, Kenny Anderson, Rick Fox and others to seize the situation, and Zhang Hao waits for opportunities to find a winning opportunity.  .

    But tonight was different. Zhang Hao went straight on, scoring 16 points in the second quarter and 19 points in the third quarter It was as if he was going to eat the two best rookies from the 1996 and 1997 classes alive!

    When Duncan led the 76ers to take the lead in the first quarter, the TV commentator was still teasing - "Is Akers going to take back his comments this time?"

    ??Then, Zhang Hao forced two evaluations to be confirmed - Tim Duncan, a mediocre talent, and Allen Iverson, an average player.

    In fact, according to Duncan's own expectations, he has a chance to score 30+ points in a single game. He played more than 33 minutes in the three quarters and scored 26 points. If the score can hold up, he has the ability to score 30+10, even if he encounters a difficult situation.  To the inside combination of Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    Iverson¡¯s 18 points and 6 assists are not bad.

    But, who made them meet Zhang Hao?

    However, the morning after the Lakers and 76ers game, two nicknames spread from China to the United States went viral!

    Stone Buddha¡ª¡ªZhang Hao, Monkey¡ª¡ªDuncan!

    ¡­¡­

    On November 29, the day after playing the 76ers, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles with a 14-game winning streak.

    It tied the Celtics¡¯ second-ever record of 14 consecutive wins in the opening game. The Lakers players were happy and the fans were also excited.

    Next, it¡¯s the Rockets¡¯ 15th consecutive victory.

    As the defending champion and a popular team, the Lakers started with an easy schedule. After overcoming the devilish schedules of the Jazz, Heat, and 76ers, things went smoothly from there.

    ??Back-to-back games against the Raptors at home, the Nuggets away, the Warriors away, the Cavaliers and Spurs at home

    Fans estimate that the Lakers' winning streak may not be ended until at least the Spurs.

    Anyway, it¡¯s enough to exceed 15 consecutive wins.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s bald head style has been evaluated as a stone-cold Buddha, while Duncan has been evaluated as the monkey in Journey to the West that cannot fly out of the Buddha¡¯s palm

    This statement has been widely recognized in the United States.

    When people see these two nicknames, they don¡¯t understand why, they just think these two nicknames are very good.

    There are still some fans who are curious. Buddha is equal to a monk, equal to a bald head. Zhang Hao's shape is understandable, like a stone, and even the translation of "hard-hearted" is very appropriate But what does monkey mean?

    After some research, the interested fans learned that this statement came from a Chinese classical novel "Journey to the West", and then ran to learn more details It can be said that Zhang Hao's new nickname has driven cultural export

    ¡­¡­

    For this new nickname, Zhang Hao can¡¯t say he likes it, nor can he say he doesn¡¯t like it, that¡¯s it.

    But as for Duncan¡¯s nickname of ¡°Monkey¡± he estimated that domestic fans still don¡¯t understand Duncan. When Duncan becomes popular in the future and gets many of them, he will probably become a great sage.

    "Monkey, Great SageWhy do all I think of is the scene of the car swaying? The one who turned on the light turned into Duncan's face"

    Zhang Hao used to be curious about how he got such a nickname. It means "increased sense of identity". When others see his nickname, they will identify with it.

    Now the supporters of the three nicknames "Ritian", "Gentleman" and "Stone Buddha" seem to have started to quarrel in the forum.

    Let¡¯s forget about it for now. After lunch, Zhang Hao stayed in the living room in the afternoon and continued to analyze last night¡¯s game against the 76ers.

    If it is not necessary in the regular season, Zhang Hao does not want to cheat. Losing or winning is effective in most games, especially games against strong teams.

    Yesterday was supposed to be the first game against an emerging team to gain experience.

    Although the probability is low, Zhang Hao believes that Jordan's Bulls are still the most popular candidates for the Eastern Conference Finals. In theory, in the playoffs, this Bulls team will be stronger than the original Bulls team in time and space. Compared with Pippen's sluggish performance  , Horry, who is in his prime, and Tracy McGrady, who is overflowing with talent, may be more useful.

    But the 76ers may still make it to the Finals.

    Zhang Hao also wants to be prepared for small probability events.

    But because he went berserk and became a complete form of the Remy Martin combination, he immediately confused the 76ers, and they failed to accumulate experience.

    This made Zhang Hao a little regretful.

    After a day of rest, on December 30, the Lakers faced off against the Raptors at home.

    &nbp; ¡­¡­

    On December 4th, the Lakers came to Oakland and had a night's rest. On December 5th, they challenged the Warriors away from home.

    There is no suspense, 103 to 90, the Warriors did not struggle much. It can be seen from the fact that their highest scoring player is Eric Dampier. After a month of playing, several Warriors stars such as Madman, Joe Smith, etc.  People are starting to get frustrated.

    Joe Smith is clamoring for 100 million dollars in 7 years. If the contract is less than 100 million US dollars, he will not renew. He has no motivation at all. His scoring is okay and his rebounding can be seen. He averages 6.4 rebounds per game, a career low.

    The Madman also has a tense relationship with the Warriors' new coach P.J. Carlesimo, and there were quarrels during the game.

    Defeating the Warriors, Zhang Hao once again gained 15 days of life at once, and increased the NBA's historical opening winning streak record to 17 games!

    ¡­¡­

    After playing the game against the Warriors, the Lakers returned to Inglewood.

    Having won 17 consecutive games, naturally I want to win 18 consecutive games, 19 consecutive victories

    Anyway, the media are already hyping up the 33-game winning streak, which happens to be the Lakers' own.

    The Lakers' attention was focused on the Spurs in the second back-to-back game. Although they had never thought about the 33-game winning streak before Before Zhang Hao said he wanted to break the Rockets' opening winning streak, they didn't go there.  I think about it this way, but now it seems like there is a chance, so I will definitely go for it.

    On December 7th, the Lakers ushered in the first back-to-back game against the Cavaliers at home.

    The Cavaliers traded a bunch of role players for Kemp in the offseason, and the big contract extension looks really good!

    A handful of change was exchanged for a second-team star!

    In addition, Zajunas Ilgauskas, who was selected by the Cavaliers in 1996 and entered the NBA, has averaged 14.1 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game so far in his rookie season. This 221 cm tall and 118 kg center has the ability to shoot,  There are low singles and excellent defense at the basket Although he can't move laterally and can't defend at close range, Kemp has it!

    The Cavaliers are just because they are in a small city + a small ball market. They have clearly been a model of iron-blooded play in the past two years. They have limited their opponents to the lowest score in the league for two consecutive years. However, no one always thinks of them when mentioning iron-blooded teams. This year they have  They had a record of 11 wins and 8 losses in the first 19 games, which was a significant improvement from last seasonstill no one remembers them.

    The twin towers include Brevin Knight, Wesley Person, and 13th overall pick Derek Anderson. On the bench are second-round pick Cedric Henderson and Ukrainian center Vita from the 1996 class.  Leigh Potapenko, Bob Sura in the 1995 class, veteran pitcher Danny Ferrythe Cavaliers are still strong this year.

    The Cavaliers can actually be considered a typical team in the current golden era. Most of their main players were drafted in the past three years from 1995 to 1997.

    At 7 p.m., the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers started. After 2 hours and 21 minutes of play, at 9:21 p.m., the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 79-95, and their 17th consecutive victory was ended.  The end!

    O'Neal made 6 of 19 shots and 12 of 15 free throws, but only scored 24 points. Zhang Hao made 7 of 21 shots and scored 21 points. Kenny Anderson scored 11 points on 4 of 11 shots. Except for the three of them, no one  Scoring in double figures, Rick Fox had 6 points, Doug Christie had 4 points, Jason Williams had 7 points

    The Lakers' poor outside shooting is one reason, but the key is too careless!  With 17 consecutive victories, the Cavaliers were not taken seriously at all, but I didn't expect that their defense was not much weaker than last season. They averaged 89.1 points per game, which was still a blast!

    Winning several games in a row gave at least a 15-day lifespan reward, which turned into a 1-day lifespan reward for participating in the game Zhang Hao was a little heartbroken, but it was still acceptable. From 10 consecutive wins to 17 consecutive wins, he had gained 80 more.  Life span.

    ? 17 wins and 1 loss, the undefeated golden status was broken, there was regret, but after a night¡¯s rest, Zhang Hao felt that it was okay. This stage had been passed, and it was time to enter a new stage.

    The Lakers' opening winning streak was ended by the Cavaliers, which should be big news, but just when the Lakers lost last night, something extremely vicious happened in the game that was broadcast live across the United States at the same time - the Warriors and Timberwolves.  event!

 Chapter 348 348. A day with far-reaching impact (4K please vote for me)

    Zhang Hao felt what Jordan felt in the past two years.

    Jordan is the player with the most news in the league today. Although he cannot compete with Zhang Hao, Anfernee Hardaway, Duncan, O'Neal, Iverson and others in grabbing headlines, he has appeared on the front pages of newspapers, TV news with video footage, and sports  Magazines and sports programs and so on, Jordan has the most appearances.

    Jordan sometimes encounters very painful situations. No matter how well he plays or how miserable he is, it is difficult to make the headlines. Although Jordan almost always makes the front page after playing a game, in most cases it is the sub-headline.  , at least it is the first sequence of news under the headlines and sub-headlines. However, it is really difficult to make the headlines, unless you play well and there are no headline harvesters that day.

    This time, Zhang Hao also encountered a similar situation, but he felt very good

    The 17-game winning streak was ended, which was originally a depressing thing. Zhang Hao didn¡¯t watch the news that night.

    When I woke up the next morning, I realized that no one was discussing the end of their 17-game winning streak by the Cavaliers because an explosive incident happened - Warriors star Latrell Sprewell was playing against the Timberwolves.  P.J. Carlesimo, the head coach of the chokehold team, strangled Carlesimo's neck for 50 seconds, suffocating Carlesimo and fainting

    At the time, it looked like P.J. Carlesimo had been strangled to death. Fortunately, he was breathing after pulling away. The Warriors team doctor immediately rescued him and sent him to the hospital.

    Since the game has reached 9 minutes and 44 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves lead the Warriors by more than 30 points 103 to 71. After discussion between the referee, the management of the two teams, and the technical desk officials, the game was directly declared over.

    The NBA officially held an emergency press conference early this morning, announcing that it had notified the players union and the Warriors to indefinitely suspend Latrell Sprewell's contract. The local police department has intervened and implemented coercive measures against Sprewell.  NBA officials, the players union, the American Sports Administration, and the Arbitration Bureau will form a joint investigation team to conduct an investigation.

    Sprewell is currently only 27 years old. Before this vicious incident, his future was bright. The current contract expires in 2000, and he will only be 30 years old by then. He will be selected for the first and second defense in his second year. The media previously broke the news.  , are already talking about completing the seven-year contract extension ahead of schedule Now, it is still unclear whether the current four-year, $32 million contract with more than two seasons left can be kept.

    The alliance still needs to investigate the specific situation and conduct mediationbut the media has already revealed the specific reasons this morning.

    Carlesimo did a good job coaching the Trail Blazers last season, reaching the second round, and also did a good job in training Nash and Rasheed Wallace, but the Trail Blazers' financial backer Paul -  Allen didn't like his coaching philosophy and did not renew the contract after it ended. After the Warriors fired Adelman, they signed him to a five-year, $10 million long-term contract.

    Carlesimo is a fanatical admirer of Sloan and likes to play pick-and-rolls. He came to the Warriors. The Warriors introduced Burgess and Tony Delk during the offseason, plus the original Bimbo Coles.  He is a point guard with good pick-and-roll ability. He also has Joe Smith, and he also spent $13 million in three years to sign back Donyel Marshall, a big pitcher who averaged 12 points per game last season. Of course, he has to play pick-and-roll. Sprewell  His shooting rights have not changed, but he has been forced to change his style of play. He has been quarreling with Carlesimo since the beginning of the training camp.

    So far this season, Sprewell has played 14 games, and his shooting percentage has plummeted to a career low of 39.7%. He is obviously unable to adapt to a style of play that focuses on off-ball shooting and singles at critical moments. He is also unwilling to adjust his style of play. 27  He was in his prime when he was 20 years old. He averaged 24.4 points per game last season with a 45% shooting percentage. He was selected into the first-team and second-team defense very early

    Finally, in the game against the Timberwolves, they shot 5 for 17, and the team fell behind by more than 30 points The conflict intensified, and action started.

    The thing is simple, but the brain circuits of Sprewell and other top stars are different. The other top stars either put pressure on the management, apply for trades, or act arrogantly regardless of the coach on the court.  .

    But Sprewell didn't think about putting pressure on the management. Maybe it was an agent's problem that he didn't handle well. He applied for a trade but was reluctant to let go of the contract extension he was negotiating with the Warriors. The key to a seven-year contract worth over 100 million yuan was that he  He has a violent and strong personality, but he is not the kind of person who would influence his teammates for his own sake on the court. On the contrary, his playing style has always been very team-oriented and high-quality Then, something like this happened.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Silver Foxes came to the arena early and will play the Spurs back-to-back tonight.

    The players had a rest this morning. They came directly to the pre-match meeting and warm-up in the afternoon and played the game in the evening, but he still had to come. There was also a meeting with the management in the morning.

    When he got off the car, a cold wind blew by. He tightened his neck scarf. There was a layer of rubber ring inside to protect his neck well Being a head coach is also very dangerous!

    &n??Characteristics of players.

    There is another saying that this is to limit the teams that play hard-hitting style.

    The extension of the area within the three-point line will theoretically have a huge impact on teams that rotate quickly in mid-range and short-range defenses.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    With the past three seasons, the importance of three-pointers has increased, and the three-point line has changed from close to FIBA ??specifications back to its original specifications. At present, public opinion generally believes that NBA three-pointers will encounter another huge crisis.  blow.

    When Zhang Hao saw what the American cable TV basketball program said, he felt that he was being connoted

    But it is true that for certain players, such as Zhang, Jordan, Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill and others, their three-point shooting will suffer a huge blow.

    In fact, he had expected it and made some preparations during the offseason. Of course, it was not enough, but he was preparing as much as possible. During training, he trained according to the 7.25-meter standard. The level was still better than that on both sides of the line.  , of course, with the current three-point specifications, he is already very strong. The three-pointer of 89 in the top arc area is close to the top. After the rule changes, this part of the shooting will definitely be greatly affected. The change in the mid-range shooting area may also affect the evaluation.  Make an impact¡­

    But at the beginning of the new season, the league did not introduce this rule. As the media predicted, it seemed to be planning to launch it next summer.

    But he remembered that it was supposed to be launched this season, and it turned out that it was the madman¡¯s chokehold incident that prompted it to happen.

    At three o'clock in the afternoon, before the pregame meeting against the Spurs, Zhang Hao heard his teammates discussing the rule changes, but there was no feeling of uneasiness or panic.

    This is as Zhang Hao expected. Although there have been 9 players in the past three seasons who have made more than 200 three-pointers in a single season, they are still very few. Three-pointers have begun to receive more attention, but it has not yet reached a qualitative change.

    This requires a relatively long process. For example, in the original time and space, Curry in the future launched the small ball era. It was not that he shot fiercely alone and other three-pointers in the league evolved directly. It was a long evolution of more than ten years. At that stage  , after Curry triggered the three-point wave and each team followed up, the new generation of players with better three-point basic skills began to hit one after another.

    During the pre-game meeting, Silver Fox also mentioned that the three-point line would be extended. The training ground had begun to make adjustments, and another circle was posted outside the original three-point line. The top arc of 6.7 meters was finally  The long three-point distance line still remains, but the new 7.25-meter line has been drawn. Silver Fox announced that the next three-point shooting training will be based on the new three-point line.

    But the current style of play has not changed.

    ¡­¡­

    The adjustment of the NBA three-point line is currently being highly hyped by the media, with the league blowing the news behind its back, and fans discussing it livelybut the NBA teams are not particularly concerned about it.

    After all, so far this season, there are only 76 players who have averaged at least 1 three-pointer per game. If you consider the Heat, Hornets, Hawks, SuperSonics, Lakers, etc., there are many players who average 1+ three-pointers per game.  In addition to the teams, there are about 20 teams, and the average team only has 2 players who can average more than 1 three-pointer per game.

    So far this season, the Hawks rank first in the league in three-pointers made with 8.1 per game, and the Jazz rank last in the league with 3.7 three-pointers made per game. Three-pointers are beginning to be taken seriously, but they are not that important, and they are far from the time of qualitative change.  , was stabbed in the back

    As for the impact on defense, it will have to wait until the three-point line specifications are changed. Just like many teams in the 1994-95 season did not know how to use the shortened three-point line.

 Chapter 349 349. It¡¯s a pity that you don¡¯t have it (4K please vote for me)

    ¡°Two things have happened that have social impact and may have a huge impact on the alliance pattern, but they cannot stop the passage of time.

    ??The affairs of other teams are always the affairs of other teams. The Lakers are just watching the fun.

    ??????????????? Why does Zhang Hao feel that his coach has been secretly glancing at him from time to time today?

    It doesn¡¯t matter anymore, maybe it¡¯s menopause.

    At 6:40 in the evening, Zhang Hao was the last one to enter the stadium. His team status was already firmly established.

    After a 17-1 start, O'Neal increasingly felt Zhang Hao's importance to him. Anyway, he has endured it now. The second child will be the second child. When the second child has a chance to compete for mvp, and the boss doesn't compete for it, how happy he is.

    "David Robinson, 32 years old, 216 cm, 115 kg, ability evaluation 94, offense 97, defense 90averaged 35 minutes per game, 23.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.8 blocks"

    "Scott Pippen, 32,203 cm, 95 kg, ability evaluation 89, offense 86, defense 92averaged 37.5 minutes per game, 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.8 steals"

    "Sean Elliott, 30 years old, 203 cm, 90 kg, ability rating 84, offense 88, defense 76averaged 29 minutes per game, 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists"

    "Avery Johnson, 32 years old, 178 cm, 79 kg, ability evaluation 82, offense 78, defense 85averaged 36 minutes per game, 12.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.3 steals"

    First, after looking at the ability evaluation of the opponent's strongest player, Zhang Hao felt that the Spurs' operations in the 1996 playoffs were really too outrageous, costing the 30-year-old general at his peak a year.

    ¡°However, David Robinson¡¯s physical fitness is also quite good. Fortunately, the serious injury was not a structural injury. After a year off, he came back. As the season progresses, he still has the ability to reach the upper reaches of the top level.

    But in fact, it has fallen off a cliff. Before, David Robinson was the first center in the regular season with +mvp.

    The Spurs have played 20 games so far, with 13 wins and 7 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference, which is pretty good, beating the Trail Blazers and Suns, who have 12 wins and 8 losses, and ranking behind the Lakers, Jazz, SuperSonics, and Timberwolves.  After the team.

    As the season progresses, the three All-Star players David Robinson, Sean Elliott, and Pippen, as well as Avery Johnson, Vinnie Negron, Monty Williams, Jaren Jackson,  The main players such as Chuck Persson and Will Perdo have also entered the state, and the running-in is quite smooth.

    If there is any dissatisfaction among Spurs fans and media with the Spurs so far this season, there is only one - Pippen's performance did not meet expectations.

    The starting stage was okay. It can be said that it has not been integrated into the Spurs' defense + positional warfare attack style. Now that the season has passed 14 years ago, everyone's status can basically be seen.

    Pippen once again proved that even if he left Jordan, he was still not a top scorer. This time without Jordan, he couldn't even average 20+ per game.

    But overall it¡¯s okay and the defense is still very good.

    Popovich, the new coach, has served as an assistant under two famous coaches, Nelson before he went crazy and Larry Brown, who is currently at the top of the league in defensive skills. The Spurs' defense is built around three core players.  outstanding.

    Averaging 94.4 points per game and conceding 90.6 points per game Entering late November, the Spurs have become one of the teams that opponents don't want to encounter.

    After looking at the opponent's player detection report, it was basically consistent with the scouting report. Zhang Hao paid attention to the specific details of the Spurs players' ability evaluation to analyze some details of the opponent's players' play style.

    What is clearly very different is that many people still have expectations for Pippen's performance. What Zhang Hao sees is that Pippen has clearly declined off a cliff. He is no longer a top star, but an All-Star level. Can he?  Getting into the All-Stars depends on your record.

    But what is certain is that when the Spurs did not get the No. 1 pick and did not have the vision to select McGrady, if they chose Van Horn or Ron Mercer, indeed, using the No. 3 pick in exchange for Pippen would be  A bloody deal.

    It¡¯s the $88 million contract starting next season¡­

    Anyway, this year, the Spurs may still become a spoiler in the playoffs. Popovich's coaching is very defensive. In the playoffs, it will be more difficult to deal with than when Popovich coached, he wanted to be comprehensive on offense and defense.

    ¡­¡­

    During the pre-game preparations, O'Neal ran to David Robinson to show off his championship ring.

    Who brings a championship ring to the court during a game?

    O¡¯Neal is.

    David Robinson said angrily: "If I had Shi Fo as my teammate, I would also be able to win the championship."

    O¡¯Neal tilted his neck and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯tHao ran back and cut in without encountering any obstacles. O'Neal distributed the ball quickly, and his ability to protect the frame was useless. When O'Neal passed the ball, Zhang Hao was already on the right side of the three-second zone.

    In other words, O'Neal did not intend to play this ball alone at all, but was ready to distribute the ball to Zhang Hao from the beginning!

    We have all played against the Jazz, Heat, and 76ers. O'Neal was beaten in three games. How could he not make any progress?  During that period of time, we played a team with powerful twin towers every three days in nine days, and there were two other teams in the middle. Naturally, there was no time to make detailed adjustments. It has been 10 days since we played the 76ers.  He had already thought about how to deal with the Twin Towers.

    A pure space power forward is useless. A pure three-point power forward or a catch-and-shoot power forward can completely make up for it when encountering a strong defensive team and the opponent uses rotational defense. However, there is no need for a power forward at all when playing against a weak team.  Help, when encountering this type of team, O'Neal recognized it. His data performance was just a little bit worse, so he helped Zhang Hao feed the ball!

    The key to being able to shoot mid-range and long-range shots and cut into the frame is good positional mobility and a good brain When I was thinking about it during this period, the best partner that O'Neal thought of was Michael Jordan

    Without Jordan, Zhang Hao would make do.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    I tried it, and the effect was pretty good. O'Neal had two assists in the opening game!

    With a 4-0 start, the Lakers took the initiative.

    When the Spurs attacked, Avery Johnson passed the ball to Pippen, who faced Rick Fox and chose a single.

    Although he was happy to leave the Bulls and get an 88 million contract, he was very unhappy that the Bulls wanted to introduce Rick Fox to replace him.

    But this time Pippen was obviously impulsive, and he made a two-point pull-up jumper. Rick Fox interfered in place, and Pippen made a two-pointer!

    Zhang Hao grabbed the defensive rebound, made a beautiful dribble behind his back to avoid David Robinson's steal, protected it, and passed it to Kenny Anderson.

    Pippen¡¯s defensive end has not regressed as much as his offensive end. This is because he has strong defensive predictions, solid basic skills, and his teammates are good at defense. However, the decline in athletic ability due to back injuries, age, etc., has a huge impact on his offensive end!  Especially without Jordan's super-containing teammates on the outside, his offensive performance dropped off a cliff.

    His offensive skills are very comprehensive, and his level is on the edge of the first-class level, not bad, but he relies more on athletic ability.

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, and David Robinson began to learn how Olajuwon defended O'Neal. O'Neal was keenly aware of David Robinson's defensive intentions. The opponent wanted to take advantage of him to catch the ball.  Cut the ball instantly.

    There are not many people who can do this, and even fewer centers in their 30s, but David Robinson has that condition.

    O'Neal simply didn't want the ball. Zhang Hao pulled out from the inside and came to the left side of the three-second zone to ask for the ball. When Kenny Anderson passed the ball, Zhang Hao received the ball and took a step away from the top arc to avoid chasing him.  Pippen's close defense, take-off, push three-pointer

    Generally speaking, the three-point shot will be half a foot away from the three-point line with the tip of the toe. When Zhang Hao catches the ball and takes a step away, he is seventy or eighty centimeters away from the three-point line. At this position, Pippen thought Zhang Hao was going to change direction.  Breakthrough, I didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to vote directly!

    "ßÑ"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    O¡¯Neal was at the spot where the rebound landed, he pressed on roughly and made a tip-in!

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t make the shot, but Pippen was still shocked. Looking at Zhang Hao retreating, he felt incredible!

    It is very obvious that the distance from which Zhang Hao shot a three-pointer just now is almost the distance from the original three-point line in the top arc area that will be restored on the 1st of next month!

    As soon as the NBA announced changes, people started practicing!

    But then Pippen's anger emerged - this guy treated him as a sparring partner!  Or a sparring partner in the competition!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 350 350. It¡¯s better not to have trouble with money (please vote for 4K monthly)

    0 to 6, David Robinson wants the ball, he wants to play singles steadily.

    Avery Johnson passed the ball very steadily, and David Robinson received the ball from the mid-range and beat O'Neal. Zhang Hao also took it back, but David Robinson had excellent facing skills, and his height, wingspan, and bounce speed were also very good.  Well, David Robinson pushed the ball upward, and neither O'Neal nor Zhang Hao intercepted it.

    David Robinson's sudden turn and high throw is really a unique skill. Basically, there is no second center who can do it. Zhang Hao looks like an enlarged version of Howard. With the ball control and shooting touch, the high throw  Very delicate.

    When the Lakers attack, Zhang Hao continues to run out from the inside and reaches a position about 80 centimeters outside the three-point line to catch the ball.

    Pippen wanted to rush forward to steal, block shots, fight in hand-to-hand combat Forget about hand-to-hand fighting, he had been bullied for two years, but he endured it and stayed within the three-point line to guard against Zhang Hao's sudden attack.

    Zhang Hao adjusted and shot a three-pointer

    Pippen directly chose to turn around and rush in to help his teammates grab the rebound. David Robinson was only responsible for blocking this time and handed the rebound to Pippen and Will Perdo.

    Under the basket, O'Neal gritted his teeth and prepared to try and steal threethe ball plunged into the basket!

    He actually made it in!

    A group of people under the basket turned to look at Zhang Hao's back, O'Neal was ecstatic, and the Spurs players cursed

    On the way back to the backcourt, Zhang Hao shook his hand and shot twice. He felt that the extended three-point line and his shot in the top arc area were probably not much different from the sidelines on both sides. It was a bit painful  ¡­But fortunately, Xia Tian deliberately practices like this!  In his summer training, he used the conventional top-arc three-point line as a long two-point practice with a fixed distance, and the 7.25-meter three-point line as a three-point practice, otherwise he would not even be at this level.

    It¡¯s not that he is playing arrogantly. He is playing like this as an attempt in his battle plan. He has certain abilities in this area, so just give it a try. If he can make the shot and open up the space wider, the game will go much smoother.

    No, it¡¯s in.

    9 to 2, the Lakers lead by 7 points, and the Spurs attack.

    The ball was still handed over to David Robinson. Will Perdo moved to the free throw line when Zhang Hao was shrinking to the basket and helped Pippen block Rick Fox. Kenny Anderson made up for it in time and missed the three-pointer.  Avery Johnson had the ability to score points, but Kenny Anderson failed to stop Pippen from catching the ball. Pippen caught the ball and rushed to close range. Before Zhang Hao turned around and defended in place, he threw the ballhit!

    The Spurs' twin-tower tactics combined with a versatile forward and guard swingman, Zhang Hao could tell at a glance that this was the combination of Duncan, Rasu Nesterovich, and Ginobili who originally played in the 2005 playoffs.  Way.

    Cooperation in a small area depends purely on personal ability.

    Popovich¡¯s coaching ability is much more comprehensive than that of Larry Brown. After all, in addition to studying with Larry Brown for several years, Popovich also spent two years with Nelson.

    When the Lakers attack and have a 5-point lead, then keep playing!

    Ignore the rest of the team. If he can adapt to the new three-point line in advance before January 1st, of course he will not be as accurate as the top arc area of ??the current three-point line. The main thing is to get used to the style of play first, and it will definitely be faster.  One step at a time.

    This time, Pippen did not let Zhang Hao shoot casually. As soon as Zhang Hao came to the three-point line to receive the ball, Pippen immediately followed it.

    In an expected situation, Zhang Hao pressed Pippen with his left elbow, turned right, and broke through!

    Pippen thought Zhang Hao would crush him and forcefully attack him, so he was ready to dive, but Zhang Hao's acting skills were also very good, and his little eyes completely deceived Pippen.

    Turning right and breaking through into the paint, Zhang Hao slowed down, made an emergency stop on the left side of the free throw line, and passed back the top arc!

    When Zhang Hao received the ball, Rick Fox saw Pippen pressing towards Zhang Hao and immediately ran from the right baseline of the three-second zone from the middle to the top arc. His teammates' ability to predict actions and make decisions was extremely outstanding!

    Will Perdo went to flank Zhang Hao with Pippen. Rick Fox received the ball and hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc!

    12 to 4, the Lakers' lead expanded to 8 points, and the Spurs called a timeout!

    In the first five rounds, the Lakers scored in every round, and Popovich almost exploded on the spot.

    If this continues, the Lakers will be able to open the point difference to double digits in less than half a quarter.

    The Spurs have made a lot of preparations, but obviously the opposite Lakers are more prepared.

    Popovich finally understands why the Lakers were unprepared when they played the Cavaliers but he also paid attention to the Spurs.

    O¡¯Neal¡¯s adjustment in the face of the powerful defensive Twin Towers, combined with Zhang Hao¡¯s simple but effective finishing ability, is simply amazing!

    But this is notHe launched an attack, but it was obviously not his main attack time.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s sudden change of play tonight made up for the fact that O¡¯Neal was not suitable for too many singles due to his physical impact tonight.

    After taking advantage of the opening, the Spurs could only struggle to chase points.

    At this time, the Spurs need a top scoring point from the outside. All David Robinson can do is to hold back the Spurs' strength. His strength has not declined dramatically. The Spurs will not be weak, but Sean Elliott  Te has declined since last season. He is no longer the top player with a 90% ability evaluation in the 95-96 season. He is a qualified third-in-command, but he does not have the strength of previous years.

    Pippen also failed to meet Popovich¡¯s expectations

    At the end of the half, O'Neal played 20 minutes and scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Zhang Hao played the entire first half and made 7 of 14 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws.  To 21 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

    The Lakers led the Spurs by 15 points, 59-44, establishing the victory!

    With such a point difference, the Lakers are playing steadily from behind, and Zhang Hao will not make blind shots, but just play hard and spend time with the Spurs.

    The rogue temperament still shines in the Lakers. There is really nothing Popovich can do, unless he messed up and got Duncan last year. Now he can use the No. 3 pick in exchange for Pippen. He already feels lucky

    The Lakers steadily maintained a lead of more than 10 points in the second half. Pippen tried to lead the team to counterattack, but without Jordan, even with David Robinson, he couldn't do very well. He basically failed to improve the team.  Capability.

    In the end, with O'Neal's 19 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Zhang Hao's 33 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, the Lakers steadily defeated the Spurs 110-94!

    When the final whistle sounded, seeing Zhang Hao who played the entire first half and 16 minutes in the second half, Pippen felt that the world was dark. When this guy developed a post-up game, he was a sparring partner, and now he has adapted to the new three-pointer in advance.  Despite the distance, he is still a sparring partner!

    The most frightening thing is that this young man who will only turn 21 next month has already practiced the 7.25-meter three-pointer that will be extended next month!

    There was some luck tonight. Pippen didn't hit his first two goals. He played 40 minutes tonight. Among the 8 minutes he rested, Zhang Hao was on the court for 6 minutes. No one stepped out to defend Zhang Hao, and he was shot three times by Zhang Hao.  , 2 of 3. When Pippen pressed on to defend him, Zhang Hao only made 1 of 4 three-pointers from long range.

    But with Zhang Hao¡¯s height, he is difficult to block, he is well-adjusted, and he is really accurate. The most important thing is that he is talented and has room for improvement This makes Pippen feel a little lucky, glad that he has won 4 championships

    In addition to this, there is another thing he envies - Rick Fox's tactical status, treatment, and the space he can play.

    If he were Rick Fox, he would definitely be able to perform beyond the limits of his abilities. He could feel that he fit in perfectly with the R¨¦my Martin combination.

    However, if Jordan chooses to leave not because of money, he has no reason to leave. It is obviously impossible for the Lakers to give the Spurs so much money. Next season, Zhang Hao and O'Neal will receive 30 million combined

    With 4 championships in hand, Pippen wants to compete for the championship, but money still comes first

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers defeated the Spurs and improved their record to 18 wins and 1 loss!

    The hot start continues!

    Steady defeat of the Spurs was due to the fact that the Lakers' changes in play style left the Spurs at a loss. However, Zhang Hao suddenly adjusted his play style, and the team's tactics and teammates' adaptability could keep up. This is the real strength of the Lakers.  at.

    Tonight, the Lakers made 12 of 22 three-pointers and scored 36 points on a single three-pointer At this time, some teams that were worried about the extension of the three-point line suddenly felt that extending the three-point line was not a bad thing.

    Tonight, the Lakers had 6 three-pointers not made by Zhang Hao, but they were made in the top arc area!

 Chapter 351 351. The impact of changes (4K please vote for me)

    After the Lakers played back-to-back games, they felt the depression of their 17-game winning streak being ended. The day after losing to the Cavaliers, there was also the pressure of the Spurs. Only after defeating the Spurs did they really enter the mental state of having their winning streak ended.  But everyone, including Zhang Hao, felt a lot more relaxed.

    Winning streak is not only an exciting thing, but also a pressure. The fear of losing and the fear of the winning streak being interrupted will not make the pressure less.

    No longer an undefeated team, it means that we can accept some inevitable losses, and we just defeated the Spurs, and the emotion of losing has also been buffered That night, the Lakers players had a good time, no  Due to the psychological pressure, O'Neal became even more powerful when going to nightclubs.

    Zhang Hao has not changed much in terms of his living habits. When it is close to 12 o'clock, he can fall asleep quickly when he lies down.

    ??The players only need to play, just think about how to run in and train well Lakers coach Silver Fox has been busy all night.

    The Lakers are on their way to a fourth straight game. They have 12 games this month, starting from the 20th to the 30th, 12 games in 21 days. It¡¯s not particularly loose, but it¡¯s certainly not compact, and most of them are the next day.  In the first game, there was a wave of 6 consecutive away games, two of which were back-to-back, but not right next to each other. There were no back-to-back home games. It was a pretty comfortable schedule.

    After playing the Spurs at home, we will definitely continue to play the Texas team at home. The Mavericks and Rockets will attack one after another.

    At 9 a.m. the next day, the Lakers coaching staff held a team meeting to prepare for the next two games.

    The Rockets are really in trouble this year. The Kings, who are ninth in the Western Conference, have played 21 games and have 6 wins and 15 losses. The Rockets, who have played 20 games, have 10 wins and 10 losses and are firmly ranked eighth in the Western Conference.

    From fourth to seventh place, the Timberwolves, Suns, Trail Blazers, and Spurs were fighting for fourth place. The Spurs lost one game and fell to seventh place. The second-place Jazz and  The third-place Sonics are also working very hard for second place and the possibility of maintaining the first place.

    ??The Rockets, without doing anything, have already met the requirements of their boss Alexander - just stay at the playoff level and they can sell tickets.

    There is no need to worry about the Mavericks, they are simply a bad team. Although they are tenth in the Western Conference, they only have 5 wins and 15 losses.

    So the Lakers players were in a very relaxed mood. They all started chatting while listening to assistant coach Kurt Rambis analyze the technical and tactical characteristics of the two teams and the specific performance of the players.

    This coaching staff doesn¡¯t care. Silver Fox is not the kind of coach who puts pressure on them randomly. It should be easy to beat such an opponent. They are number one in the league.

    After Kurt Rambis analyzed and explained the details of the next two opponents, it was time for the Silver Fox to plan the play style of the next two games.

    At this time, the team members became serious. Silver Fox was very satisfied with the changes in the team members' demeanor. The champion coach still had the face.

    Silver Fox looked at the latest revised coaching manual and said: "From the next to the 2nd of next month, our training will be adjusted. You have all seen it at the training ground. Next, the pitchers' three-point training, all  According to the latest three-point line, if you become confident in practice, you can still shoot in the game, and you don¡¯t have to worry about not making the shot. We have Shaq and Jason, are you two okay?"

    The Silver Fox didn't talk about the game, but directly dropped a bombshell. This will definitely have a great impact on the pitcher's shooting percentage, because the three-point line has not been extended yet. If they take the initiative to extend the top arc  The position of the area moves. Before they can't shoot accurately, they will definitely get a lot of opportunities, and if they can't shoot accurately, they will still shoot

    But when it comes to O'Neal and Jason Williams, the pitchers at least have some confidence.

    And O'Neal and Jason Williams feel that Bel has face!

    Jason Williams doesn't think so much. He works hard on defense. Whether he can guard him or not is a matter of ability. He just needs to work hard. On the offensive end, he has the ability to cut into the pie and grab rebounds. He is very sharp in the second offense.  In fact, there is still a pick-and-roll, but in the Lakers, he can only use it without the ball on both sides Anyway, he can just follow the coach's instructions.

    O'Neal needs to be more thoughtful. He has concerns, but the potential benefits are more. Once the shot in the top arc area is really wide and accurate, his singles opportunities and pie-eating opportunities under the basket will be better.

    Yesterday, the league just announced that the 7.25-meter top arc will be activated on January 1 next year. Today, the Lakers have begun to change. They are definitely ahead of other teams

    ¡°And Yin Hu¡¯s words were very nice, so he accepted it.

    Silver Fox was very satisfied with the reaction of the team members and continued: "Akers, from now on, you will shoot the three-pointers in the top arc area at the new distance."

    "Um?"

    Zhang Hao originally had nothing to do. What Silver Fox arranged before was to change the entire team, but this arrangement is justThere are more three-pointers taken, but the number of three-pointers scored is not as high as before. Previously, he averaged 7.9 three-pointers per game, ranking fourth in the league.

    ¡­¡­

    There is no doubt that the changes in the Lakers' playing style have a huge impact on their extremely hot start.

    In the game between the Lakers and Rockets, Silver Fox was bombarded by the media after the game, saying that his changes were too radical.

    There are still some media who think he is very prescient and think that he actively intervenes to control the team's status, which has a good side - instead of waiting for the situation to decline and encounter difficulties, or waiting for the area inside the three-point line to expand and be affected by the rules, it is better for him to do it himself  .

    But not many people agree with this good view, and the media is more willing to criticize it, because most people prefer to vent their emotions.

    And, right away, the side effects of the Lakers¡¯ proactive adjustment of play will come

    After a day of rest after playing the game against the Rockets, on December 12, the Lakers ushered in a home game against the Dallas Mavericks.

    With 18 points and 26 rebounds, O'Neal had the second-highest single-game rebound of his career tonight, second only to the 28 rebounds in a single game when he played against the Bucks in his sophomore year.  The team made 38 of 98 shots and hit 60 irons.

    This time the Lakers took much fewer shots, taking 85 shots and making 34 of 85 shots they shot 51 irons

    89 to 93, the Mavericks upset the league's No. 1 Lakers on the road, giving the Lakers their second loss this season!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers lost, and the Los Angeles fans were not calm. They still won against the Rockets, but they actually lost to the Mavericks, the fifth-worst team in the Western Conference!  Even Sports Illustrated is attacking the Silver Fox.

    But Silver Fox doesn't care about them at all. He is a championship coach, and the boss, management, and players all support him. What is he afraid of He holds the tactical board tightly and is not afraid of anything!

    But Lakers fans and the media who have a good relationship with the Lakers are not the most angry. Dallas is about to explode!

    Seeing that the Mavericks are getting closer and closer to the 3-18 Nuggets, they were 5-15 before they played the Lakers. Their fans now want them to lose, after seeing the 76ers win the No. 1 pick for two consecutive years.  After the combination of Duncan and Iverson became a top team, their fans no longer care about the current record. They want the No. 1 pick, they want Kobe, and they want Olowokandi.

    But facing the invincible Lakers, they actually won!

    The management, coaching staff, and fans all want to lose, but the players will definitely not be happy when they play. Van Exel plays hard against everyone, and Eddie Jones goes berserk when he sees the Lakers

    Now with 6 wins and 15 losses, the gap between the Mavericks and the Mavericks has widened again, tying them with the Kings, who are ninth in the Western Conference!

    What I hate the most is the owner of the Mavericks. He is now praying to God in the hope that if he can get the No. 1 pick, he will have a greater chance of selling the team to local entertainment industry tycoon Mark Cuban.

    At this stage, labor negotiations are in full swing. Except for Cuban, who wants to buy the Mavericks, and Paul Allen, who wants to buy the Trail Blazers, who are very active, even Howard Schultz is still in the wait-and-see stage about acquiring the SuperSonics.

    No one knows what the new collective bargaining agreement will be like, whether there is a possible shutdown, and what changes the new collective bargaining agreement will bring to the owners At this stage, the transaction value of NBA teams has dropped to the level since Magic retired.  At the lowest value, investors are not interested

    There are many comments from the outside world, most of which are ridiculing and criticizing Silver Fox.

    But within the Lakers team, it¡¯s actually pretty good.

    Because they are confident - the Lakers have played like this in order to adapt to the new three-point line. Once other teams start to change, the impact will be even greater!

    This is the advantage of winning. When you encounter a conflicting situation when you win, you will always look at the bright side.

    Also, the Silver Foxes were very tough during the interview, but the tactics changed. In the team meeting after they came to Portland on the 13th, they had already begun to try to change and added a new position of emphasis-both sides of the line.  Three points!

 Chapter 352 352. Such a roaring Heavenly Lord (please vote for 4K!)

    "The second-year old fish next door has the ability to overpower Van Exel and secure the starting position earlier than Kobe. The opportunity turned out to be the extension of the three-point line in the top arc area"

    On December 14, on the morning of the away game against the Trail Blazers, after the Lakers' pre-game meeting and regular tactical adjustment training, Silver Fox asked the three-point shooters to test the sideline three-point catch and shoot.

    When shooting three-pointers from the wing, Fisher is the most accurate

    "It's true, even if the touch is consumed by confrontation during the game, Fisher's style of play is to advance past half-court and then pull to the wing, stand and adjust, wait for the catch and shoot, and extend the distance between the top arc and the three-point line. His role is  Great improvement, no wonder both Silver Fox and Zen Master let him play the main role. The distance between the three-point line is obviously different. With O'Neal, the opportunities in the corners on both sides should not be so different."

    Fisher was very excited to see that he was the most accurate on the team in fixed-point shooting from the wing. This might be an opportunity for him to increase his playing time!

    In addition to Fisher, the Barry brothers, Kenny Anderson, and Doug Christie are also good at wing three-pointers. They are shooting players with a wide shooting range. Kenny Anderson is good at breakthroughs, but most of his shots are  COSCO Investment.

    Some people are happy and some are worried. Rick Fox is a pain in the ass. He averaged 1.4 three-pointers per game this season, almost all of which were in the top arc area. The three-pointers on both sides are relatively weak.

    But this is in line with Zhang Hao's memory. He remembers that in the season when O'Neal won double MVPs, Rick Fox was a substitute. In the next three or four years, when Rick Fox got older, he became a starter again. He was the last two of the Lakers' three consecutive championships.  The starting small forward of a championship seemed to have mastered the three-pointer from the top arc.

    Regarding the possible changes to their Lakers team, Zhang Hao felt how much impact the extension of the top arc three-point line might have on the league.

    Not all of them may be good. For most teams, they may have a bad impact.

    At this time, the Lakers directly started to change and actively tried. Coach Yinhu made adjustments based on the actual conditions of the players in the game and training With this approach, Zhang Hao felt that Yinhu was right. After other people experienced it,  , and also understood the necessity of starting changes. Therefore, although many teams are very resistant to the change of the three-point line, especially after seeing the impact on their Lakers, the Lakers are not so resistant.

    Because the change in the three-point line distance is already a certain thing.

    Of course, in the past two days, Zhang Hao has also seen some teams express their indifference to this matter. He thinks this is good. The distance from the basket to the top arc is lengthened, which means that three-pointers are even more inaccurate.

    The Lakers have a defensive foundation, so you can think of it this way, but if you can really make good use of this change, the benefits will definitely be greater!

    Zhang Hao himself, his shooting feeling, if he shoots the top arc three-pointer according to the extended distance, his three-pointers seem to have really begun to become balanced. There is not as big a gap between the top arc area and the wings as before

    It¡¯s accurate, probably similar to when he lit up the three-pointer in the top arc during his rookie season.

    Because he was mentally prepared, even though it came suddenly, he was not under so much pressure. He could just take his time with this kind of thing. He is not a pure three-point shooter.

    And in addition to Zhang¡¯s requirement for him to shoot directly according to the new top arc area distance, Silver Fox¡¯s requirement for others is - if he feels that he can do it, he can shoot from a distance, and if he can¡¯t, he can shoot according to the current three-point distance.  Line cast.

    They currently have a clear record advantage and have the confidence to make adjustments in advance, so of course they have to implement them.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Here he is, here he is!

    At 6:42 in the evening, the Trail Blazers twin stars Nash and Rasheed Wallace saw Zhang Hao, the last starter on the opposite side, and they felt so domineering that they exploded!

    As opponents, the two saw with their own eyes that Zhang Hao pushed O'Neal to the second position after Magic and Barkley retired. It felt so awesome!

    At this moment, these two guys are like two idiots

    After the Lakers started the game, it was the home team's turn to start.

    Zhang Hao, who had just come out, watched the starting lineup of Rasheed Wallace, Brian Grant, Nash, Isaiah Leder, and Sabonis This was another team with players from the 1994-97 class as the core.  Team, except for Isaiah Leder, the other four starters of the Trail Blazers are all players in the past four years.

    They, the Pan-95 generation, are really awesome!  This year, quite a few teams have been labeled as players of this generation.

    "Steve Nash, 24 years old, 191 cm, 88 kg, ability evaluation 79, 84 offense, 61 defense, 86 three-pointers, 83 mid-range shots, 84 layupsaveraged 31 minutes per game, 12.4 points and 2.9 rebounds  6.6 assists, 0.6 steals, 2.1 turnovers 45.9% shooting, three-pointersAfter a lot of hard work and fast break at the beginning, we played against the Lakers for the first time in the new season and it was done!

    Zhang Hao pulled to the top arc to prevent Rasheed Wallace from flanking O'Neal. When O'Neal got stuck, Zhang Hao hoisted the ball in and then moved to the mid-range on the right. Kenny Anderson went 45 to the right.  They moved at an angle, and the formation was well arranged. They were a little surprised when they didn't hit the fast break at the beginning, but they still have the awareness of a strong team.

    O'Neal received the ball and hit Sabonis in isolationFacing the 221-centimeter Sabonis, who has gained weight to 130 kilograms this year and has an absolutely top-notch defensive awareness, O'Neal is going to curse!

    Why is everyone targeting him!

    Why doesn¡¯t anyone target the boss of the Lakers?

    O'Neal pushed in hard and knocked Sabonis back a step. The tyrannical power was visible to the naked eye, but after all, he was not the 145-kilogram human beast at his peak in the future. O'Neal knocked Sabonis one step back and tried to turn around, but the bottom line was blocked.  Sabonis' huge body blocked him, and O'Neal chose to turn left, imitating Malone's hook shot

    The details are well grasped. When O'Neal hooked out, he moved the ball with his fingers instead of swinging his forearm. The ball hit the neck of the basket, spun and fell into the frame!

    Watching O'Neal excitedly rush out to high-five Rick Fox after scoring a goal, running as fast as a small forward or a slower guard, Sabonis clenched his fists and bumped into each other.

    This is really hopeless, he can no longer defend better, the tonnage is enough, and the turning space that O'Neal is good at is blocked, but O'Neal's little hook is simply unstoppable!  He was just hit and took a step back. He was still on the line of the reasonable collision zone. With just a little gap on the line, O'Neal caught it.

    The Trail Blazers attack and Nash advances with the ball.

    After arriving in the frontcourt, he played a pick-and-roll with Rasheed Wallace to start the offense.

    Zhang Hao did a good job switching defense against Nash, and Doug Christie also did a good job when Rasheed Wallace opened up after the defense, but Rasheed Wallace reached three seconds.  On the left side of the area, Sabonis used a screen to block Doug Christie from reaching the baseline. O'Neal made up for it. Isaiah Leder actively cut in, received the ball, and hit Kenny Anderson for a layup!

    Rasheed Wallace and Sabonis both have medium and long-range shots, and can even shoot from beyond the three-point line. The Blazers have excellent space.

    In the future, Mike Dunleavy will gradually fall behind and become the background of the times, but in this era, he is one of the best coaches in the league today and uses the space extremely well. Last year, P.J. Carlesimo was unable to let Isaiah Lay.  Del integrates into the team's offense, and he did that this year.

    When the Lakers attack, Kenny Anderson continues to give the ball to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao continues to hang O'Neal.

    Having determined that it was difficult to guard O'Neal no matter how one-on-one, Brian Grant shrank in as soon as O'Neal received the ball.

    After Zhang Hao passed the ball, he continued to move to the mid-range on the right. Kenny Anderson also moved from the right sideline to a 45-degree angle. Rick Fox immediately moved to the top arc after Zhang Hao passed the ball.

    O¡¯Neal was flanked and passed the ball to the top arc. It was a very beautiful combination but was intercepted by the aggressive Rasheed Wallace!

    When Nash's opportunity came, he immediately rushed down. After receiving the pass from Rasheed Wallace, he quickly advanced. With the threat of Isaiah Leder and Rasheed Wallace who followed up, Nash rushed forward.  The frontcourt throw hit!

    This speed and quick attack awareness are so sharp!

    Zhang Hao, who was running back, received the ball and prepared to serve with an expressionless face. The system prompt came

    "The Roaring Heavenly Lord who is going all out on both offense and defense has appeared, but due to physical limitations, the sustainability of such a Roaring Heavenly Lord is limited. Special contracted player Zhang Hao is eager to fight with all his strength against the Roaring Heavenly Lord who is in the stage of sufficient physical strength. The series of missions, Era Star,  Five-stage mission: Angry Eyes King Kong triggers"

    "Damn! When did I have such desire!"

 Chapter 353 353. The shortest task (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    "The angry-eyed King Kong:

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to take the initiative to ask for the ball when he encounters Rasheed Wallace's defense, and he needs to actively stimulate Rasheed Wallace's desire to play in singles.

    Goal 2: The number of goals scored by Zhang Hao in the one-on-one duel with Rasheed Wallace must be higher than the number of goals scored by Rasheed Wallace in this game.

    Task reward: 10-day lifespan, pick-and-roll executor gold upgrade card fragment*1.  "

    Zhang Hao originally thought of spending it first, letting O'Neal and Kenny Anderson lead the team to hold off Rasheed Wallace. Now Rasheed Wallace is going all out on both offense and defense. He is very fierce and first-rate.  Excellent offense + top defense, but Rasheed Wallace is not a physical maniac like Garnett or Iverson. With this style of play, he has to stop playing less than 30 minutes per game, which is the best performance.  The time is estimated to be around 25 minutes. At other times, he will become a pure pitcher to open up space, and his effect will not be so strong.

    A bit like the future Ginobili

    ???????????????????????????????????????¡ªZhang Hao often chooses the simplest and safest way if it is not necessary. He has two All-Star or even better teammates in O'Neal and Kenny Anderson, so of course he must make good use of them.

    Who would have thought that a mission would comethen we would have to go head-to-head with Tianzun!

    When he handed the ball to running back Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao was still a little excited.

    Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt and saw Zhang Hao coming to the high post on the right side of the free throw line and leaning on Rasheed Wallace to ask for the ball. He was still debating whether to give it to O'Neal or to get it himself. O'Neal also had a big head and Sabonis was too big.  He was stronger, stronger than Ostertag and Campbell, and his lower limbs were as if they were poured with cement. He couldn't even imagine that Sabonis was a teammate of Malone or Duncan

    Seeing Zhang Hao asking for the ball, O'Neal decisively left the three-second zone, came to the left baseline and prepared to rush at close range.

    Kenny Anderson lobbed the ball to Zhang Hao, and then moved to the right sideline to the right corner. Rick Fox moved to the left side of the top arc, opening up space for Zhang Hao in singles.

    Zhang Hao took a step back, turned around, retreated, and took a long two-point shot Rasheed Wallace's mobility and defensive awareness are really amazing. If Mike Dunleavy doesn't want to create a superstar with comprehensive offense and defense, then he can  Simply letting Rasheed Wallace develop into the defensive gate may not be as strong as Garnett and Duncan, but it won't be much worse!

    Zhang Hao's back-up turnaround jump shot was interfered with by Rasheed Wallace. It's iron!

    O¡¯Neal flexibly bypassed Sabonis and grabbed the offensive rebound!

    Sabonis reacted quickly. He was not upset when he was grabbed an offensive rebound. Instead, he accepted the result and covered it immediately. O'Neal was about to withdraw from the singles when he saw Zhang Hao rushing in and immediately distributed the ball and then distributed the ball.  Regretful, my boss received the ball and jumped directly towards the inside!

    Neither O'Neal nor Sabonis could dodge, and Sabonis covering O'Neal in the reasonable collision area was equivalent to being blocked by O'Neal. Zhang Hao hung on O'Neal like a big spider between the two and smashed the ball into the basket!

    Once upon a time, O'Neal swore that he would never let his opponents dunk him. He would rather commit a crime than be sent out.

    As a result, not many opponents had the opportunity to dunk him. His reputation had already been established, but he had lost count of the number of times he had been dunked by his teammates in more than a year. Anyway, he was definitely dunked more often than his opponents.  The number of times!

    I grab a rebound for you, but you dunk on me!

    There is no justice!

    O'Neal angrily wanted to force his team's boss to retreat, but when he saw his team's boss landed, he turned around and yelled at Rasheed Wallace, who had guarded the shot and followed up: "Ah"

    This roar was continuous, and he ran while roaring. When he passed by Rasheed Wallace, he turned around to face Rasheed Wallace, beating his chest and roaring

    Without O'Neal grabbing the offensive rebound, would you have scored the goal?

    Rasheed Wallace was instantly furious, his eyes widened with anger, and he yelled back at Zhang Hao with a "Ah" Unfortunately, Rasheed Wallace's evil expression of hatred and fear was turned towards him.  The referee on their side saw it.

    "Beep"

    The bald referee blew his whistle and made a T-sign towards Rasheed Wallace.

    The players on the field were watching the excitement, watching the two beasts yelling at each other. Who would have thought that the referee's whistle sounded!

    The Trail Blazers players were stunned for a moment but then they realized that their talented power forward really lacked technical skills. Although he has not yet become famous for it, Rasheed Wallace has played 23 games this season and has already scored 12 goals.  I was fined a lot of money for a technical offense. It was the 13th time tonight

    If Rasheed Wallace hadn¡¯t just renewed his contract for 6 years and $80 million not long ago, his teammates would feel heartbroken for him. After accumulating 10 technical fouls, every timeHe only scored 1 goal in several rounds and was beaten 7-2.

    But soon, the adjusted Lakers had the absolute upper hand.

    Although Rasheed Wallace only played less than 30 minutes per game, the stage he was in was definitely the strongest stage of the Trail Blazers.  Rice was sent out, and both offense and defense were greatly affected. Among them, Nash was the most affected.

    Nash was reduced to a pure catcher and shooter, and the defensive loopholes were magnified. The Trail Blazers turned to a combination of Isaiah Leder and sudden shooting, with Sabonis assisting in sorting out the offense, which is quite good.

    But the Lakers were already stronger, and now the gap is even wider.

    In the end, thanks to O'Neal's 22 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Zhang Hao had 25 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, Brent Barry had 21 points, and Kenny Anderson had 13 points and 10 assists the Lakers won 109-99.  Defeat the Trail Blazers steadily and win for the 20th time this season, improving the record to 20 wins and 2 losses!

    After no longer caring about Rasheed Wallace, Zhang Hao began to adjust his playing style. Now that he discovered that the three-pointer in the top arc area of ??7.25 meters away was almost the same as the two-wing three-pointer, he chose not to limit himself to that area.  Shoot more, if you want to shoot, you can also shoot from the wing, and tonight the Trail Blazers did not guard him tightly against the three-pointers on the wing. They made 3 of 7 three-pointers in the game, which was quite good, and once caught the Trail Blazers off guard.

    He knows that as his three-point shots from the wing increase, opponents will definitely take precautions against this, and his efficiency will definitely decline, but he still has to persist in making adjustments. This is a dilemma, but it is also an opportunity.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Playing against the Trail Blazers was easier than expected and aroused widespread heated discussion.

    If another player were to be called for two technical fouls and ejected for no apparent reason like Rasheed Wallace, it would definitely have a strong negative impact.

    However, when the footage of Rasheed Wallace roaring and roaring incoherently at the referee was broadcast by the television station, Rasheed Wallace instead gained the reputation of a "villain".

    When the video clip of Rasheed Wallace's roar reached China, the reputation of "Roaring God" began to spread among basketball fans

    According to reports from unreliable gossip media, a child was frightened to tears when he saw Rasheed Wallace roaring while watching sports news.

    This news greatly enhances the credibility of this gossip mediabecause Rasheed Wallace looks really scary when he seems to have emotional changes.

    The one who should have a headache is the Trail Blazers. After the Lakers played the game against the Trail Blazers, they didn't care about this opponent.

    Zhang Hao was a little regretful. The duel between him and Rasheed Wallace had not officially started. Before he could exert his strength, the opponent was expelled from the field. He got an additional 10 days of life reward and a medal upgrade card.  Fragmentsbut his attention has now been put on the next two opponents.

    Rasheed Wallace roared and was ejected. The next opponent did not receive the treatment he expected.

    On the morning of the 15th, Zhang Hao followed the team to Minneapolis. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he will play the Timberwolves and Eagles back-to-back away from home!

    Having played 24 games so far, the Timberwolves have 16 wins and 8 losses, firmly holding on to the 18-6 SuperSonics and 17-6 Jazz, maintaining their chance to hit the top three in the Western Conference.

    The last time they played against each other, due to Zhang Hao's "playing guidance" to Garnett, the Lakers won easily. In fact, they didn't really feel the strength of the Timberwolves. If it is not necessary this time, they will definitely not "coach" again.  How does Garnett play? Thinking of Garnett getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Hao is still a little excited.

    Arriving at the hotel, Zhang Hao was about to watch Garnett's game video when the call came.

    The call was answered and it was Wang Zhizhi. After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang Zhizhi on the other end of the phone asked: "Do you think it's okay for me to participate in the draft next year?"

 Chapter 354 354. The Crack of the Three Wolves (4K please vote for me)

    "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

    "I heard about Lamar Odom, Baron Davis, Shawn Marion, Andre Miller, Jason Terry, Richard Hamilton, Ron Artest  These players who are popular in the draft have already stated that they will not participate in next year's draft. If the NBA is suspended for a period of time, more popular players may not participate in the draft. Our school coach also said that next year is an opportunity, and I may be able to enter the lottery.  ¡­¡±

    ¡°Since you have already had such an impulse, you should not hesitate about whether to participate or not, but should be prepared to run for election and not waste time.

    You want to participate in the draft, of course I support you, I believe you can enter the NBA from the beginning.

    Now you continue to play well and work hard to show your abilities. At the end of your junior year, you will make the final decision based on your draft expectations, NBA team rankings, who is participating in the draft, and which team you think is the best for you.  ¡­¡±

    Zhang Hao calmly helped Wang Zhizhi analyze the matter.

    Wang Zhizhi¡¯s voice on the other end of the phone was trembling when he spoke. Hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s calm analysis, his mood calmed down and he responded: ¡°I understand, thank you, Brother Akers.¡±

    After chatting for a while, Zhang Hao hung up the phone.

    Yesterday, negotiations between the NBA and the players union broke down again. There are rumors that some college students do not want to participate in the 1998 draft. Except for those players who are already seniors and will graduate next year, they have to participate in the draft. Many talents do not want to risk the cancellation of the entire season.  There is even the risk of not being able to play for a longer period of time when participating in the draft. For athletes, if there is no game for a year, it is not a small problem.

    ¡°But this also made many college students whose draft expectations were not so good think it was an opportunity. Zhang Hao clearly learned about this from Wang Zhizhi.

    From Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Hao felt uneasy. Wang Zhizhi was not necessarily afraid, but excited. It is difficult for people not to understand why a person would be inexplicably uneasy about something.

    John Thompson, the head coach of Georgetown University, is a very powerful old coach who has trained many powerful centers. Since he has the endorsement of this coach, Zhang Hao feels that as long as Wang Zhizhi plays well this year and shows his due abilities, it is possible.  Enter the lottery area.

    Open the system and open the signed players section.

    "Wang Zhizhi,

    Age: 20 years old on July 8, 1977.

    Body shape: Height 214 cm, wingspan 224 cm, weight 113 kg.

    Team: Georgetown University Hoyas.

    1997-1998 season data: 12 appearances, 8 wins and 4 losses, 31.5 minutes per game, 16.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2 blocks per game"

    Zhang Hao turned on the computer and looked at the information on the official website of the NCAA.

    Wang Zhizhi's performance is very good, but it can't be compared with Olowokandi's average of 23 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2.8 blocks per game. Since Duncan entered the NBA, Olowokandi has been the strongest center in the NCAA. His performance  Not worse than Olajuwon's last year in college.

    In his sophomore season at Duke University, Kobe welcomed a group of very powerful teammates, including Elton Brand, Shane Battier, and Corey Maggette. He has won all 12 games so far.  With a group of teammates, Kobe averaged 21 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2.4 steals per game.

    Olowokandi will definitely participate in the draft. He is a senior. If Kobe Bryant participates in the draft, the top pick will definitely appear in both of them.

    Wang Zhizhi is definitely incomparable to these two. In the entire NCAA, Wang Zhizhi is also among the top batch. If there is no lockout and all potential rookies participate, Wang Zhizhi is estimated to be selected in the middle or late first round.

    This is not bad. There are 29 first-round positions in total. Being selected around the 20th pick means that you are one of the 20 best talents among all the talents participating in the draft.

    But there are some people who will not participate in the election, so the possibility of Wang Zhizhi entering the lottery is very high!

    Even if Wang Zhizhi¡¯s performance improves in the later period this year, it is possible to go further.

    It¡¯s hard to compare with Kobe, but compared with Olowokandi, Wang Zhizhi is actually much younger. Olowokandi was born in April 1975. At the same age, Wang Zhizhi is better than Olowokandi.  The important reason why he is regarded as the next big dream is that he only started to officially contact basketball when he was 19 years old. In his junior year, he became the second center in the NCAA, the same as Olajuwon back then.

    Wang Zhizhi is a junior. There is a certain gap compared to Olowokandi last season, but he is also more than two years younger

    Zhang Hao cannot guarantee whether Wang Zhizhi, who has received more professional and systematic training, has the chance to become a first-class or even top insider in the NBA, but he will definitely be better than before. This can be seen from the Asian Championships in the summer.  You can use sloughNot long ago, fans in Minneapolis still regarded themselves as Lakers fans. Now, the Timberwolves are fighting, and the hatred of these fans who were abandoned by the Lakers more than 30 years ago has quickly exploded.

    Amid boos from the fans, the Lakers players entered the court.

    When Zhang Hao came out last, the boos reached a boiling point.

    This was even worse than the hostility Olajuwon faced in the following seasons when he led his team to the Finals in his sophomore year in 1986, because Olajuwon reached the Finals in his sophomore year and lost to Larry Bird, who was in his prime at the time.  But Zhang Hao overturned the 6-year championship reign of the 1984 generation.

    What's more important is that Zhang Hao and the Timberwolves' star player are in the same position, both are power forwards, and Zhang Hao's salary next season will be higher than Garnett's

    After the players from the two teams finished playing, there was no communication on the court.

    Yesterday, Marbury had an appointment with Zhang Hao for dinner. They just chatted and made some complaints, such as the Timberwolves disrespecting him by giving him 60 million for 6 years and so on.

    Not only Marbury, Gugliotta is also in a contract year. His contract will expire next summer, and he also faces the problem of the Timberwolves' price reduction.

    The source of all the problems comes down to the fact that the Timberwolves are worried that a team will offer a big contract to poach Garnett next summer and use a six-year, 128 million super contract to complete the contract extension.

    Money is very important. The three people who were originally close to each other, like the Dallas 3j, have gradually become strangers outside the stadium.

    Fortunately, it¡¯s on the court. At present, the three-headed wolf combination of the Timberwolves has entered a very balanced state.

    Marbury plays well, and he doesn't have much to do with Du. He sticks to the ball a little, but he also passes a lot and is very professional. Garnett and Gugliotta are better, and he is not as good as these two.  When it comes to taking shots, he ranks behind the two in taking shots. His average of 8.8 assists per game so far this season is more than the two combined.

    Garnett is better defensively, and Gugliotta is the best scorer on the team. The three of them each perform their own duties. Garnett is not the kind of person who gets a big contract and just jumps in. Marbury and Gugliotta  They are all working hard to play better, have a better record, and strive for a bigger contract. Regardless of the issue of contract renewal, the Timberwolves do look like they have a bright future.

    Before the game started, Zhang Hao went to find the on-site director, but they declined his request to warm up the game.

    Zhang Hao felt a little regretful that he couldn¡¯t sing at the target center

    At 6:30 in the evening, the game started.

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Zhang Hao, and O'Neal.

    The Timberwolves sent out a starting lineup of Marbury, Chris Kyle, Sam Mitchell, Garnett, and Gugliotta.

    Garnett narrowly beat O'Neal in the jump ball. The Timberwolves attacked first and used the simplest way to contain the Lakers' opening fast break.

    Marbury received the jump ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and he met Garnett on the top arc pick-and-roll. Garnett separated and received the ball in the high post. Marbury continued to go deep into the basket and borrowed Gugliotta from the right side of the three-second zone.  Zhang Hao blocked the change of defense and slid to the baseline. Garnett faced Rick Fox's change of defense and did not shoot. He waited for the opportunity and distributed the ball to Gugliotta.

    Gugliotta received the ball, used Marbury to attract O'Neal's attention, and flexibly jumped to avoid Zhang Hao's switch and hit a layup!

    It was a very beautiful cooperation among the three. The commentator of the American cable TV station that broadcast the game wildly praised the future of the three.

    Gugliotta is a skilled insider, and he only turns 28 in a few days. If this type of insider does not suffer from injuries, it is normal for him to remain at his peak until he is thirty-three or four years old. Garnett is 21 years old, Mabou  With Lee turning 21 in two months, the future is really bright for the trio.

    When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao honestly opened up the space. O'Neal caught the ball and hit Gugliotta with his back. With two brutal collisions, Gugliotta was directly knocked into the basket. Garnett had no time to shrink in.  Interference, O'Neal turned right and hit a left hook from the baseline!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 355 355. I gave you a chance but you failed (4000 words, please vote for me)

    Last time they played against each other, Zhang Hao turned on the "teaching and guidance" mode, and O'Neal didn't perform well. This time, O'Neal came up and showed the Timberwolves how powerful the number one center is.

    When it came to the Timberwolves' offense, Garnett faced Zhang Hao, who had outstanding static physical conditions and comparable mobility to the outside. He didn't have a fighting spirit to regain the field with strong attacks. He knew that his offensive ability was just like that.

    Garnett continued to play pick-and-roll with Marbury, forcing Zhang Hao and Rick Fox to switch defenses, creating mismatches, and supported the attack from his high position.

    It seems that he likes to talk nonsense when nothing happens, but with Marbury on the back line and Gugliotta at the center who can shoot, cut and set, his coping ability is almost perfectly displayed.

    Zhang Hao and Marbury have played against each other more times. I really can¡¯t see where he is unique. He cooperates very well with Garnett and Gugliotta.

    At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves' three-headed combination relied on teamwork to play back and forth with the Lakers, who were dominated by O'Neal's singles and scoring!

    Without Zhang Hao¡¯s ¡°teaching and guidance¡± mode, the Lakers really didn¡¯t take advantage in the early stages.

    At 3 minutes and 44 seconds of the first quarter, the two teams were tied 8-7, with the Lakers leading by one point.

    The Timberwolves attacked. After Marbury advanced to the frontcourt, he made a gesture. Garnett did not pull out for the pick-and-roll, but moved to the middle distance of the right baseline. Gugliotta also pulled to the left side of the three-second zone.  In the elbow area, after a set round of cooperation, Gugliotta also needed a rest, Marbury hit Rick Fox in a single from the top of the arc!

    A very beautiful change of direction in front of the body. Marbury made Rick Fox take a sudden step to the right and lost his position!

    Marbury broke through to the right, and Rick Fox quickly moved to the back left. Marbury suddenly stopped, retreated, returned to the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer with half a step to the left of the top archit!

    10 to 8, the Timberwolves lead by two points!

    The regular coordination has Gugliotta as the main scorer, Garnett as the second shot point, and Marbury as a containment.

    When it comes time to score in singles, Marbury can stand up. With the strength of the twin towers, Marbury can play an offense that requires personal ability. The perfect fit of the three wolves is well demonstrated!

    O'Neal's main attack in the beginning helped the Lakers hit 3 of 5. In addition, Doug Christie came in to catch the ball and made 2 of 2 free throws. In the first 6 rounds of the Lakers' opening round, O'Neal helped the team hit 4 of 6.  It is a pity that he could not help the team take the lead under such an outstanding performance, but there was no way. The opponent's team's offense was really sharp. They made big strides forward every year. In two years, they would really become the champion.  Possibility of level combinations.

    O¡¯Neal also needs to slow down now. After Kenny Anderson advances to the frontcourt, O¡¯Neal pulls to the left side of the three-second zone to keep rushing, and the offense is handed over to Kenny Anderson.

    Kenny Anderson hit Marbury in singles from the top of the arc. Marbury's defense was not bad, but facing Kenny Anderson, who has been famous for many years and is currently in his prime, he also had a big problem.

    Marbury tried very hard, but was still shaken away by Kenny Anderson's crotch dribble that stopped suddenly during a sprint. Kenny Anderson broke into the three-point line from the right side of the top arc!

    At this time, Zhang Hao happened to run from the right side of the free throw line to the left along the free throw line, and Garnett immediately went to cover Kenny Anderson.

    Kenny Anderson distributed the ball. Zhang Hao received the ball when he ran across the left side of the free throw line. Sam Mitchell left the area on the left and Rick Fox, who had an inaccurate shot, stepped in. Zhang Hao stepped back and Sam Mitchell  Both Chell and Garnett, who was flanking Kenny Anderson, pounced, but they were not in the right position!

    Both of them pounced on the top arc area at a 45-degree angle on the left and headed toward the upper line. The direction Zhang Hao retreated was to the sideline!

    Withdrawing to the sideline, Zhang Hao did not rush, adjusted steadily, and before Sam Mitchell blocked him, he shot a three-pointerhit!

    11 to 10, the Lakers once again took a 1 point lead!

    Turn around and step back. After practicing, Zhang Hao can not only turn around and step back in the mid-range, but he can also use it to shoot three-pointers!

    The two front lines of the Timberwolves did a very good job in defense. They knew Rick Fox's shooting area very well, and they also knew Zhang Hao's shooting habits very well, but they didn't expect Zhang Hao to shoot from this position so decisively.

    Zhang Hao also made three-point shots from the sideline before, but last season, Zhang Hao made 189 three-pointers, less than 20 from the wing, accounting for only 10%. Almost all of them had no choice but to go to the wing.  Position to catch the pot and shoot, otherwise I would rather choose an unskilled pull-up jump shot.

    And this time, Zhang Hao shot with both patience and decisiveness. He grasped all the time before the defense was in place and made good use of the time created by turning around and retreating.

    It¡¯s time for the Timberwolves to attack again, and Marbury has just entered.; When the Lakers attack, Rick Fox's confident three-pointer from the top of the arc still misses. Fortunately, Garnett's long two-point shot is also solid. The Silver Fox is ready to call a timeout after the team member grabs the defensive rebound.  , but seeing the action of Zhang Hao grabbing the rebound, he resisted the urge to call a timeout.

    Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound and counterattacked!  Zhang Hao, who seemed tired in the first few rounds, suddenly became sharp again, sprinting faster and faster. In the end, even the Timberwolves backup point guard Terry Porter couldn't catch up!

    Zhang Hao charged alone, scored two points with a counterattack dunk, and once again overtook the score, leading 74 to 73 by 1 point!

    Not letting the Timberwolves continue to gain momentum, Zhang Hao retreated, not daring to be careless. There were still more than two minutes left, so he had to hold on and let O'Neal at least not fall behind after returning. The advantage in the first half was so obvious. If he lost, then  Really uncomfortable.

    At this moment, that familiar feeling came back - the Lakers are about to become the Los Angeles May 5 team again!

    Zhang Hao worked very hard in the third quarter, otherwise he wouldn't have obviously felt tired before sucking his jersey. He scored 7 points and 1 assist in the first half of the third quarter. As a result, the team only scored 15 points. He was still willing to pass the ball.  Neil Anderson's three-pointer was a score that had nothing to do with him, 5 points in 9 minutes!

    Really give the other party a chance

    Fortunately, after sucking his jersey, he returned to the physical condition he had at the beginning of the second half after the halftime break. At this moment, he clearly had a physical advantage over others on the field.

    In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, Zhang Hao hit a back-up turnaround jumper, a baseline pass to force Garnett's back-up turnaround layup, and a counterattack layup, leading to a 6-4 run.  At the end, the Lakers lead the Timberwolves by 3 points 80 to 77!

    The Lakers only scored 23 points as a team in the third quarter, of which Zhang Hao scored 15 points alone. The score of 23 to 26 in a single quarter was really a bit disappointing. It was more than a little bit worse than the performance in the first half. Fortunately, it was an illness.  During this period, Zhang Hao helped the Lakers hold on, mainly by scoring 8 points in the last 3 minutes.

    Finally, in the fourth quarter, O'Neal is on!

    Zhang Hao restrained, Rick Fox served from the top arc, Fisher and Brent Barry responded from the wings, and O'Neal mainly attacked from the basket.

    The Timberwolves replaced Stanley Roberts at this time, playing alongside Marbury, Chris Kyle, Sam Mitchell and Garnett.

    In the second half of the first quarter, Stanley Roberts defended O'Neal well, but at that time it was Gugliotta and Garnett who consumed O'Neal first. Now O'Neal has been resting since the first half.  When it was enough, he came back and hit Stanley Roberts into the basket twice for a layup and dunked the score twice.

    "Compared to Sabonis, Campbell, Ostertag, Mourning these people, Stanley Roberts still has a gap.

    Under the leadership of O'Neal, the Lakers resumed a lead of more than 5 points in the fourth quarter, but the point difference could not really widen. In the third quarter, the Lakers played too much and were once overtaken by the opponent, but the victory was  stable!

    The Timberwolves failed to make waves in the final quarter, and the Lakers scored 28-22 in the final quarter.

    In the end, Zhang Hao had 34 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, O'Neal had 27 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Kenny Anderson had 17 points and 5 assists, and Brent Barry and Fisher combined to make 5 three-pointers.  Point ballThe Lakers narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 108-99!

    "Compared to the last time when Zhang Hao defeated him alone, this time, the Timberwolves players and fans were hit even harder!"

    That time they could also say that Zhang Hao's explosion was too violent and they didn't even have a chance to truly show their abilities.

    This time, the Lakers gave the team a chance, but they still couldn't beat it!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 356 356. A new record in team history!  (4000 words, please vote for me)

    Garnett had 14 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Marbury had 26 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and Gugliotta had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. The three of them have combined for 60 points and 15 assists. Their performance has been extraordinary.  Good, but just can¡¯t beat it.

    The Lakers made some blind plays in the third quarter, but because of this, the Timberwolves players and fans saw a bigger gap!

    It started with 20 wins and 2 losses No, it was a team with 21 wins and 2 losses. The difference in strength between the team with 21 wins and 2 losses and the team with 16 wins and 9 losses was quite obvious even though they were both in good condition. A 9-point difference was definitely not that big.  , but the continuity after playing an advantage, the ability to seize key opportunities, and the ability to grasp key balls, tonight, the gap is reflected. As long as the Timberwolves can have a better ability to seize opportunities in the middle of the first quarter and the third quarter,  The Timberwolves may win tonight, but if they fail to grasp these two stages well, the Timberwolves will have no chance.

    ¡­¡­

    After all, we won!

    In the early morning of the next day, he entered the learning mode and spent a day reviewing the game with the Timberwolves. Zhang Hao felt that he was really close to winning!

    It is necessary to adapt to the extension of the three-point line in advance and start to adjust in advance It will definitely be good for the future, but it is a troublesome thing now. In this game against the Timberwolves, Zhang simply did not throw the three-pointer in the top arc area.

    Of course, this is an adjustment to the Timberwolves' defensive strategy, rather than not wanting to shoot. The Timberwolves know his regular shooting areas very well, and he can naturally take advantage of targeted defense.

    In addition to this, there is also the fact that as the middle of the season approaches, he clearly feels that his teammates are starting to drift off again

    This is another old problem that cannot be solved. The Jazz, the defending champion, the league's first and leading the second place, have 4 wins and have played more than 14 games. They are gradually feeling the fatigue of the long season Their noble disease is about to happen again.  .

    The problem that is reflected is that it is easy to drift when you are ahead. This situation has not happened in the first 20 games, but it has started to happen recently.

    This problem could not be solved even in the original four-year peak period of 08-11 when Kobe Bryant ruled under high pressure. This is the tradition of the Lakers

    Knowing that it was an unsolvable problem, Zhang Hao didn't dwell on it. The good thing was that O'Neal didn't slack off. This not only made him happy, but also surprised Zhang Hao.

    Even Kenny Anderson has been a little drifting recently, but O'Neal didn't play very hard!  Even when facing tough opponents like Sabonis and Stanley Roberts, O'Neal worked hard and played smarter, making use of his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, staggering his playing time, and creating opportunities to suppress first and then increase training.  I can't tell how hard O'Neal worked, but he put more thought into the court.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because he has been playing in the noble team for a long time, and Zhang Hao has gradually accepted the noble disease

    ¡­¡­

    The morning after playing against the Timberwolves, Zhang Hao had no intention of paying attention to the media's praise of the continuity of the Lakers' dominance and the adjustment. He flew to Atlanta with the team and rested all afternoon. At 6 p.m.  At that point, the second game within 24 hours started.

    The Eagles have played 24 games since the beginning, with 13 wins and 11 losses, ranking only sixth in the Eastern Conference. Compared with the 56-win record last season, the Eagles have dropped significantly.

    Their defense is still strong. Mutombo, who claims to be 32 years old, averages 13.4 points, 12.2 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game. He is the soul of this team's defense.

    The biggest decline was in their offense, which averaged 90.2 points per game and 90.5 points per game. It was basically pure defense.

    The reason is that after their star player Mookie Blaylock's five-year, $21 million salary took effect, his offensive status has plummeted!

    There is no problem in defending Mookie Blaylock. After Payton, he is the second defensive point guard in the league. Under the leadership of Mutombo, the defense is still sitting at the point guard position.

    But on the offensive end, he averaged 17 points per game last season and dropped to 13 points per game this season. His shooting percentage was 44% last season and only 38% this season. He made 2.8 three-pointers with a 36.7 three-point shooting percentage last season.  So far this season, the three-point shooting percentage is only 33.1%, and the three-point line is also facing an extension

    Last season, he averaged 7.7 assists per game, and this season also plummeted to 5.9. The number of turnovers increased from 2.4 to 3 per game, and the assist-to-turnover ratio fell below the key point of 2.

    The 30-year-old Mookie Blakelow is as good as ever on the defensive end, but his offensive end has plummeted.

    Fortunately, Mookie Blakelow's contract extension was completed in advance before the start of last season. The average annual salary is just over 4 million U.S. dollars. It is definitely not as valuable as Pippen's 2.78 million U.S. dollars this year, but starting next year  Comparing it further, it¡¯s a great value.

    After the game started, the Lakers and Hawks fell into a fierce defensive battle. The game was full of physical fights, confrontations, fouls, free throws and conflicts. O'Neal and MutomboThe fourth game in a short period of time is not as cruel as four games in five days, but it is still more difficult. The key point is the back-to-back in the middle. Neither the Timberwolves nor the Hawks are easy opponents. Losing will make them and the Lakers fall apart.  Skin.

    7 of 11 and 5 of 12 free throws. O'Neal played 31 minutes and scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Zhang Hao played 42 minutes and scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Jason Williams scored 17 points and 16 rebounds.  -Anderson scored 14 points and 8 assiststhe four of them have worked to the limit.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from Shaquille O'Neal when O'Neal made 5 of 12 free throws, which is very moral.

    This time the Lakers really had no choice. They couldn't even delay Zhang Hao to kill the game until the critical moment

    ¡­¡­

    ? 22 wins and 3 losses, 3 wins and 1 loss in the first 4 games of 6 consecutive away games. Overall, it¡¯s okay.

    This series of consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference was over. The morning after the game against the Hornets, Zhang Hao said goodbye to the little boy who was frustrated because he lost last night and was almost beaten by his own father but still came to the hotel to see him off.  Curry flew to Houston with the team.

    Next, there are the last two games before the Christmas game, back-to-back away games against the Rockets and Clippers.

    After arriving in Houston and resting for a night, on December 21st, the Lakers came to challenge the Rockets away from home.

    Originally, the Rockets had a chance to defeat the Lakers at this time. O'Neal was out of form tonight. He only made 5 of 11 shots, plus 4 of 10 free throws, and only scored 14 points The reason why I say there is a chance is because this is  When Olajuwon was injured, Divac did the best defense.

    Although Olajuwon is currently only the third-highest scoring player on the Rockets, with Drexler and Divac performing better than him, but as a first-class support + defense power forward, Olajuwon  Wong's importance to the Rockets remains high.

    O'Neal didn't score well, but protected the rebound very well, with 14 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, plus Zhang Hao's 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Kenny Anderson's 10 points and 10 assists, Doug Christie's  16 points, Brent Barry's 12 points, Jason Williams' 19 points and 11 reboundsThe Lakers defeated the Rockets without Olajuwon 94-83.

    The score difference is not big, but it is no problem at all to say that it is a light victory, because Zhang Hao only played 27 minutes and O'Neal only played 30 minutes.

    Jason Williams performed very well when the team entered a period of fatigue recently. With excellent physical strength and excellent rebounding awareness, with the threat of Zhang Hao or O'Neal, he was like a bastard under the basket.  Ask for it freely.

    The rebounding evaluation that is higher than that of O'Neal is really not for nothing.

    So far, Jason Williams has played 26 games as a substitute, averaging 22 minutes per game, scoring 8.8 points and 9.5 rebounds!  Moreover, it is on an upward trend!

    Jason Williams¡¯ excellent rebound protection ability and secondary offensive performance have played a huge role in recent times.

    ¡­¡­

    Returning to Los Angeles with a record of 23 wins and 3 losses, at 6 pm on December 22, the Lakers started their second game within 25 hours, playing the Clippers away from home.

    This was the easiest game in six consecutive games. It was easier than playing against the Trail Blazers and getting ejected after Tianzun roared. After playing for a third of the season, the Clippers chose to give up and started to mess up.  At this point, the 9th to 14th place in the Western Conference is collectively in ruins. The happiest thing is undoubtedly Rockets owner Alexander. He can enter the playoffs without spending any more money

    O'Neal played 29 minutes and scored 20 points on 8 of 10 shots and 4 of 7 free throws. Zhang Hao played 18 minutes and scored 13 points and 3 assists. Jason Williams had 13 points and 10 rebounds. Kenny Anderson was crazy.  He threw 20 times and made 12 of 20 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 32 points and 2 assists, plus Rick Fox and Brian Shaw combined for 13 assists

    It was really just for fun. Fisher was pushed out and took 11 shots, 9 of which were three-pointers. He made 3 of 9 shots. Only these 3 three-pointers were made and he scored 9 points.

    Amid the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, the Lakers slaughtered the Clippers 125-90, improving their record to 24 wins and 3 losses, surpassing the Lakers' best start in team history in the 1986-1987 season!

    That season, the Lakers won 65 games, and they played 27 games just before the Christmas game, with 23 wins and 4 losses Actually, there is a very unfair thing. The Lakers won 69 games in the 1971-1972 season, but that year  The Lakers started the game because the general manager of the Lakers' opponent tonight retired after playing 9 games, which affected their starting record

 Chapter 357 357. Qing Mimi¡¯s mid-term reinforcement (4 updates with 16,000 words, please vote for me!)

    ¡°Brother, hang it at the highest place, yes, Lelin¡¯s wish must be at the top!¡±

    "Okay, okayit's a little too high, Xiao Yao, come here and help me."

    "okay¡­¡­"

    Yao Ming ran up in a hurry, stood on tiptoes, and tried his best to help the little Loli hang up the wishing card.

    Yao Ming is actually a little confused at this time. Although he has grown taller, due to his wingspan, his reach should not be as good as Zhang Hao

    But his parents said that when he comes to the United States, as long as Zhang Hao doesn't let him do anything illegal, he can do whatever Zhang Hao tells him. He should be active and work hard.

    Yao Ming struggled to hang the wishing card on the Christmas tree that Little Loli bought, which is said to be the largest Christmas tree in Los Angeles.

    Seeing that her wishing card outperformed everyone else, the little Loli was very satisfied.

    " Do as the Romans do. This time, there are many people at home. Wang Zhizhi came to Los Angeles during the holidays. Yao Ming also lives in Los Angeles. They all came to Zhang Hao's house for Christmas Lakers Vice President of Business Operations Jenny Buss wanted to cry.

    April Clark, Little Lolita, Britney, Pierce, Pierce's mother, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Mingthere are already 7 people. Fortunately, the Curry family did not come, otherwise Zhang Hao's votes would have been in double digits.  !

    The Christmas War!  Although the opponent is not strong, the opponent is the Celtics, and the ticket price is very high

    Wang Zhizhi arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and stayed in Yao Ming's apartment. Although they had only met him briefly a few times before and had no chance to communicate, they are already familiar with each other in a foreign country.

    Finally, he had the opportunity to be a senior. Wang Zhizhi showed well what it means to "rely on the old and sell the old". He pointed out the country in front of Yao Ming and counted all the centers he defeated in the NCAA

    Although many of Yao Ming¡¯s names are unknown, they sound awesome!

    Little Yao, who is still growing, is amazing. He is already 220 centimeters tall. His wingspan is a bit weird at 215 centimetersbut it doesn't matter. He is definitely tall enough and is still growing.

    Zhang Hao helped April Clark and Little Loli arrange the Christmas decorations. Even before Zhang Hao came back, the two of them had already prepared the things that needed to be prepared, so that Zhang Hao could simply enjoy the decorations without having to worry about them.  the process of.

    Just like assembling a computer, the process of selecting accessories requires a lot more energy than the other three, but the assembly process is actually quite enjoyable, and I feel a sense of accomplishment when I light it up once.

    After the game against the Clippers, the Lakers had a holiday. There were no training arrangements before the Christmas Day game on the 25th. They had a rest on the 23rd and 24th, and they could just play on the day of the game.

    Rest time is very important for the current Lakers. Different from last season, this season they have basically rotated 9 people so far. Ben Wallace, Jon Barry, and Sean Lukes are activating.  Players on the roster only have a chance to play during garbage time.

    Zhang Hao thinks there is no problem with this arrangement. Although the Celtics have a chance to make the Eastern Conference playoffs, it is only a chance, and it is not a big chance.

    But there¡¯s one thing¡­ Why does Zhang, who is at the forefront of the team¡¯s physical strength and has always shown excellent recovery ability, take the most time to rest in the game when he needs a rest recently?

    It¡¯s not that he plays less time than others, but when he has a chance to rest, he looks very special.

    For example, in the away game against the Clippers yesterday, the score difference in the first half was over 20 points. He only played more than ten minutes, and the Silver Foxes did not send him out at all in the second half.

    This must be a good thing, so he didn¡¯t delve into it, just left it at that.

    ¡­¡­

    During the two days of rest before the Christmas war, Zhang Hao could only train until 9 o'clock in the morning. He also spent the rest of the time to enjoy the rare leisure time, tidy up the yard, and help tinker with whatever new things the little Loli had bought.  , helping prepare Christmas Eve dinner, etc.

    As the eldest brother, Pierce took King and Xiao Yao around Los Angeles. Zhang Hao was worried that the two inside teammates of the future national team would be led astray by Boss Pi But it didn't seem to happen. Although Wang Zhizhi came to the United States and liberated his nature, here comes a  My compatriots are very talkative, but they are still relatively reserved when facing Americans. Yao Ming is even more so. It has been several months since he came here, and it is said that he has not spoken much to his teachers and classmates.

    The whole environment is English-speaking. Yao Ming¡¯s English has improved rapidly and he has no problem with basic communication. But I heard that his classmates and school team teammates thought he didn¡¯t know English

    While Zhang Hao was happily spending the holidays before the Christmas war, the teams in the league were actively carrying out their own plans.

    This year¡¯s Christmas, each team will have two days off. The teams that have Christmas games will have a rest on the 23rd and 24th.??, even the Christmas game took away a lot of the limelight. By the noon news, the major TV stations finally started to mention the five Christmas games today, and then mentioned that the Lakers completed the transaction, and then the Warriors  The team once again made the Lakers secretly rich.

    The Warriors and Celtics reached a deal. The Warriors sent Joe Smith, and the deal got this year's second overall pick Chauncey Billups, center Tyrese Knight with the 29th overall pick in 1996, and once  UCLa's short point guard Tejus Edney shocked everyone.

    This deal is simply blinding, not inferior to the operation that sent first-team point guard Tim Hardaway to the Heat for almost free.

    Joe Smith was originally the Warriors¡¯ highest-quality asset besides Madman. After Madman destroyed his trading value, Joe Smith became one of the Warriors¡¯ rare high-quality assets.

    He actually used a second-year high-quality power forward who averaged 18+8+1+1+1 per game to trade for a parallel import second place

    There is a saying of stopping losses in time. After Garnett and Zhang Hao got big contracts, Joe Smith proposed to the Warriors a big contract with a starting salary of more than 10 million and a total price of more than 100 million over 7 years. The Warriors were unwilling  To avoid getting nothing in return next summer, they are willing to take a gamble on Chauncey Billups.

    The Warriors stole the show today

    The Lakers once again quietly completed the transaction.

    The Lakers sent Jon Barry, a 2000 second-round draft pick, and $1 million in cash compensation to acquire white small forward Eric Piakowsky from the Clippers!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Warriors continue to be a money-spending team. They have no chance to play in the Christmas game. The result is better than all the teams that played in the Christmas game

    ??At 1:30 pm Eastern Time, the Christmas Day battle between the Bulls and Heat kicked off, but they failed to completely steal the limelight.

    This is no longer important to Zhang Hao.

    What matters is the deal they complete!

    Bugs Boggs, his form has declined a lot this year, averaging 6.1 points, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 25 minutes per game.

    Eric Piakowsky averaged 12 minutes per game, 6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.5 steals.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUTOUT How high-quality signings these two are It can¡¯t be seen from the data.

    However, the Lakers only sent out two players, Jon Barry and Robert Pack, who basically couldn't play!

    The characteristics of Xiaochong are what the Lakers want. A break-up backup point guard can create rest time for Kenny Anderson. Robert Parker was signed before, just for this, but Robert Parker is not willing to play such a role.  .

    Piakowsky is amazing. So far this season, he has shot 42.5% from three-point range and averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game.

    He has no other role. He is similar to Jon Barry. He only shoots, but he is more accurate and stable!

    The logo man didn¡¯t make a drastic move, and he didn¡¯t even make any comeback chips. It felt like Baylor was sent undercover by them, giving them the pitcher they really wanted to strengthen now!

    This is where a problem arises

    ¡­¡­

    The trade with the Clippers came to light after the Warriors' trade for Joe Smith was revealed, probably around 1 p.m.

    But in the morning, after Zhang Hao learned about the Madman's transaction, he had already received a notification from the team that the transaction had taken place.

    So Zhang Hao did not go back at noon. After accepting the interview, he stayed in the arena to have lunch, waiting for someone to arrive.

    Perhaps due to the impact of the transaction, the person Zhang Hao was waiting for usually came to the arena about an hour before the team's prescribed warm-up time, but he came after lunch today.

    Zhang Hao, who was practicing dribbling, greeted the visitor: "Hi, Brent, you're here quite early."

    Brent Barry asked in surprise: "Akers, are you waiting for me?

    I understand, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be angry because Joan was traded. I am here because I want to be here, and of course I am worried that Joan cannot find a team to give him a contract.

    You don¡¯t have to worry about me, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m a professional player.  "

    ??Really don¡¯t care?

    Maybe it¡¯s because the team his brother was traded to is also in Los Angeles?

    Maybe it¡¯s because you¡¯re under contract that you can¡¯t bear this kind of thing?

    Who knows.

    Brent Barry said this, and Zhang Hao believed it.

    In addition to Zhang Hao, other teammates also took the initiative to communicate with Brent Barry after coming to the arena. Brent Barry, whose grandparents in the family are engaged in sports, looked very professional, which made the teammates feel at ease.

    As for Robert Parker being traded awayno one cares.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Robert Parker always looks like he doesn't let strangers enter, as if the whole world owes him.

    Zhang Hao still went to tease O'Neal and complain about his teammates when he had nothing to do.

    As the Bulls narrowly defeated the Heat 98-95 at home, the Pacers ravaged Madison Square Garden 106-85, the Jazz lost 102-110 away to the Sonics, and the Spurs beat the Rockets 95-77, the first four Christmas games  The battles were played out one after another, and at 9 pm Los Angeles time, the Lakers' home game against the Celtics began.

    The Celtics just sent away three main players at noon today. No matter how bad Billups is, he is still the starting point guard of the Celtics. 23-year-old Tyrese Knight is also an insider for the Celtics.  The first substitute, Joe Smith, cannot officially join until the subsequent team physical examination, which will have a great impact on the Celtics.

    As for the Lakers' two transactions, even if the two new players haven't arrived yet and Piakowsky took his son to travel to San Diego before returning to Los Angeles tomorrow to report, it will have no impact on the team's strength.

    There was already a big gap in strength between the two teams. The Lakers had 24 wins and 3 losses, and the Celtics had 12 wins and 16 losses, which once again widened the gap in strength.

    It¡¯s true that the Celtics are excited and working hard when they play the Lakers, especially since they haven¡¯t played a Christmas game in several years. They are very motivated, but the same goes for the Lakers, who are also very motivated when they play the Celtics.

    Relying on O'Neal's 27 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Zhang Hao's triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, Kenny Anderson's 18 points and 3 assists, Jason Williams' 7 points and 8 rebounds the Lakers  The team steadily defeated the Celtics 110-102, improving the record to 25 wins and 3 losses, continuing to set a new record in team history!

    Since two players were traded away and the two new players have not yet arrived, the Lakers happened to have 12 players in the lineup. In this Christmas game, everyone on the Lakers played for at least a few minutes. It can be seen from the score difference that  After taking the lead, they really made waves, and the sense of compactness on the defensive end came and went

    But good luck won out in the end.

    After Zhang Hao joined the Lakers, he faced the Celtics for 6 consecutive victories. In the "Old Enemy" task, he won +1 in a row. He obtained an affordable triple-double of 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He also received an extra 10 days of life, which was a wonderful time.  for Christmas this year.

    ¡­¡­

    This year¡¯s Christmas game seemed uneventful, mainly because the Warriors¡¯ suicide trade stole the show.

    After this wave of operations, the Warriors basically lost all the talent they had accumulated over the past six or seven years, leaving only Eric Dampier

    Some media commented that the Warriors should want to be more thorough, but the Warriors have fallen into a cycle of failure.

    Continuously messing up, getting high-ranking rookies, too many talents, too many to know how to cultivate, and chaos. In the end, the rookie talents are wasted, and the rookie contract cannot be renewed when the rookie contract ends. They are traded casually, and then continue to mess up  ¡­

    The Warriors¡¯ trading journey is not over yet, and they seem to be preparing to reduce their strength to the extreme.

    On December 26, the morning after the Christmas Day game, the Bulls saw that the Warriors were robbing them and applied to trade Jason Caffey and the Warriors for two players, Dick Simpkins and David Vaughn.

    Jason Caffey is a stocky forward swingman who can be considered a substitute, but his position overlaps with Robert Horry's. He has little chance to play this year and is expensive. A one-year contract of US$2.7 million is worth mentioning.  The trade valuemaybe just the contract years.

    Dick Simpkins, the Warriors signed him for three years and US$3.6 million in the offseason. The Bulls did not match the contract. By the middle of the season, the Bulls felt that the old substitute was still useful and wanted to trade him back. By the way, they also paid him back.  Want the Warriors' backup power forward, David Vaughn, who averages 4.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

    As a result, the Warriors agreed!

    During the operation of the Sancay Boy Warriors, the wave of trading in the middle of the season has begun.

    The Lakers' logo man maintains the basic principles of the defending season - strengthening the core structure without moving.

    Don¡¯t be the most famous. Being famous basically means that you have to pay a larger price to get it back. As long as the team structure needs it most, even; Bogues is telling the truth. He is in the 11th year of his career. He spent the best 9 years with the Hornets, and then was sold to the Warriors. He felt that his career was going to fade away in a hazy way. In the Warriors  The team went through a difficult third of the season, and suddenly, things turned around and they came to the defending champion Lakers who started with 25 wins and 3 losses. How could you not be excited?

    But there was a problem. Boggs looked around

    Zhang Hao and Piakowsky are more than two meters tall.

    April Clark, a tall girl of 1.8 meters, was actually pretty good at drama, but she gave up because she wasn't well matched with actors.

    Britney, 163, shoelaces and heels

    Boggs felt deep malice. Except for the little girl who was in elementary school, everyone was taller than him!

    Maybe this kid will be taller than him when he grows up!

    Compared to Bogues, Piakowsky was much calmer: "Oh, Akers, I only entered the NBA one year earlier than you. You called me sir. I thought we entered the NBA 5 years apart."

    "I will be 21 next month and you are already 27, more than 6 years ago."

    Zhang Hao answered very seriously and told the truth. Piakowsky felt like his heart had been stabbed

    However, these heartbreaking words made the two new players feel that Zhang Hao was not a difficult teammate to get along with, and the pressure was much less.

    Just like Rick Fox, Brent Barry and others who joined the Lakers in the offseason, they were worried at first that coming to the Lakers and becoming teammates with Zhang Hao would be a lot of pressure. Although the two were excited at the beginning, Boggs thought  To win the championship, Piakowsky was originally a substitute among the substitutes and did not have to change cities to play for the Lakers with more fans. He was very excited, but he was also worried about meeting a boss like Jordan. Zhang Hao looked like that to the outside world.

    The first time I came into contact as a teammate, I found that it seemed to be pretty good.

    I just love telling the truth too much, the truth that hurts my heart

    ¡­¡­

    I met my two new teammates, and without much greeting, we separated and went home.

    Fortunately for Piakowsky, he originally lives in south Los Angeles. It¡¯s not too far to drive to Inglewood. If you go out early, the traffic jam is not serious and you can get there in an hour.

    Boggs moved from Auckland, his luggage is still in the car, and he still has to find a place to live.

    Zhang Hao took San Niu home and started extended distance three-point training.

    After this back-to-back, next month will be the era of the new three-point line, so you have to hurry up.

    Pierce, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming¡¯s team of friends went out to fool around again.

    Yao Ming finally found a friend to play with him, and he was very excited. After all, he only turned 17 in September, so he still had the mentality of a child.

    Zhang Hao learned from Jason Hart, a junior at Inglewood High School, that Yao Ming will probably have to continue playing for another year after he turns 18 next year, and will not be able to go to college until he is 19.

    However, Yao Ming has attracted the attention of universities such as UCL and the University of Southern California because of Zhang Hao's performance in the NBA and Wang Zhizhi's performance in the NCAA. So far, Yao Ming has played 4 games on behalf of Inglewood High School, averaging 23 minutes per game and winning  To 17 points, 14.5 rebounds, 1 assist and 4.5 blocks.

    ?Compared with Zhang Hao¡¯s original career, Yao Ming¡¯s path to entering college and participating in the draft will definitely be much smoother in the future.

    One day off passed, and on the 28th, the Lakers¡¯ new lineup assembled.

    With the addition of two new teammates, some Lakers players have felt the pressure, such as the pitchers and backup point guard Fisher.

    It is obvious that the Silver Foxes attach great importance to wing pitchers, and the newcomer Piakowsky is very good in this area.

    The Silver Foxes have also always wanted a sharper backup point guard. Bogues has been playing for more than ten years and is very famous in the player circle. The two new teammates cannot be said to be very strong, but they are the players the Silver Foxes want.

    There is motivation only when there is pressure, which is not a bad thing for core players such as Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, and O'Neal.

    In addition to this, during the team meeting in the morning, Silver Fox announced a piece of bad news For the next back-to-back, as well as the first game of the new year on January 1st, O'Neal will be absent due to injury.

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 359 359. The new year is here (4000 words, please vote for me)

    It¡¯s not a big problem. O¡¯Neal sprained his arm in the previous game against the Eagles and it had little impact on him.

    The sprained left arm was not his dominant hand, but O'Neal looked bulky, but he was actually a big shot who could make small hooks from left to right under the basket. Although it did not get worse, it was still difficult to drag.

    After the Christmas game, there was a relatively relaxed period. To be cautious, the team asked him to rest for a few games until the sprain healed.

    ? From the 26th to January 3rd, 9 days of rest, I will definitely recover.

    After hearing the details, the teammates breathed a sigh of relief. O'Neal definitely contributed a lot to their good record this season. Without O'Neal who was serious and focused during the game and controlled his diet off the court, it would be basically impossible for them to achieve such a success.  Achievements.

    As for why they rest until January 3rd, it¡¯s because there are three games in four days from December 29th to January 1st, which is not conducive to recovery. Also, on January 4th, the Lakers will face the Philadelphia 76ers at home.  Contest.

    Although the possibility is not particularly high, the Lakers still regard the 76ers as a potential finals opponent.

    The new No. 1 pick of the 76ers is so good. The second game month is about to pass, and some people already regard Duncan as the second best player in the Eastern Conference.

    As for the back-to-back opponents Clippers and Kings, as well as the Hawks' strong defense, the Silver Fox doesn't care.

    After the team's strength reaches a certain level and the record is far enough ahead, the thinking is different.

    After announcing O'Neal's injury, the Silver Fox began to lay out the preparation direction for the next three games: "Starting from playing the Clippers tomorrow, we will play strictly in accordance with the extended three-point line"

    It has taken some time to get used to it. Yesterday at noon, the league approved the application jointly submitted by some teams. Before the new three-point line in the top arc area is implemented, the new three-point line is allowed to be affixed in official games while retaining the  The old three-point line gives each team a chance to adapt in official games.

    Bogues, who just joined, had played against the Lakers not long ago and knew that the Lakers immediately began to adjust after the league announced changes to the three-point line. Now as a Lakers player, I personally feel that the Lakers' adjustment progress is one step ahead of other teams  ¡­It still feels incredible.

    This is the adjustment speed of the strongest team!

    Piakowsky was even more surprised - how could there be such a big gap between two teams in the same city?

    The Clippers never mentioned this matter at all!

    Fortunately, he is not very good at shooting from the top arc area. He is a functional player, a fixed-point catcher and shooter on the wing. For him, it does not matter whether the three-point line in the top arc area is extended or not maybe the shooting opportunities will change.  many.

    ¡­¡­

    On the 29th, the Lakers faced a challenge from the Clippers at home. At 6:10 in the evening, the two teams entered the stadium.

    Not long ago, they played against the Clippers. The Barry brothers were still teammates. Now, they have become opponents.

    ¡°But, it makes sense that trees will die and people will live if they are moved.

    Joan Barry, who had little chance to perform in the Bucks, Warriors, Hawks and Lakers, joined the Clippers in his first game on the 27th the day before yesterday. He played 19 minutes and scored 8 points, 2 assists and 1 steal.

    After the pre-game greetings, the game started.

    Although O'Neal can't play, the starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace is still better than the Clippers.

    Ben Wallace played 18 minutes tonight and scored 4 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. His scoring was solely due to Zhang Hao feeding two cakes. He originally fed three, but once he was fouled by his opponent. He made two free throws and made two free throws.  When he missed three free throws on the first try, O'Neal laughed so hard on the sidelines that he slapped his thigh

    Finally someone is worse at free throws than him!

    But his rebounding efficiency and shot-blocking efficiency are very good, especially his sense of blocking, which is very good.

    The effect is just like that, much better than last year, but there is still room for improvement.

    It can be seen in the game that without O'Neal's influence, the inside attack has become weaker. Fortunately, the Lakers' overall strength advantage is there.

    Another thing that affected the Lakers' performance was that the top arc area opened up the shooting After this was implemented directly, the Lakers' offense was really affected.

    But the fundamental reason why it is more difficult to fight is still the wave!

    When there is a wave, there is always a wave. This is reflected in the defensive end. There is always a period of relaxation, which leads to the score difference being widened and then narrowed by the opponent Fortunately, it was stabilized in the end.

    In the end, Kenny Anderson had 20 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal, Zhang Hao had 22 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Brian Shaw had 18 points, Brent Barry had 12 points, and Jason Williams had 5 points and 8  Board 1 block98 to 91, Lakers??Ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

    With the Knicks declining due to Ewing's injury, no other team in the East is competing for the top four.

    However, there is not much of a gap between fifth and 13th in the Eastern Conference. In other words, the Magic with 8 wins and 23 losses and the Raptors with 4 wins and 27 losses are not teams competing for the playoffs.

    From the 17-15 Hornets to the 13-19 Bucks, based on their performance, the maximum difference of 4 games is still not enough to widen the record gap. The Bucks may have a better performance.  If you win consecutively, you can rush all the way to fifth place.

    The competition in the Eastern Conference is fierce, and it is indeed not easy for the top four in the Eastern Conference to stand out.

    When we get to the Western Conference, it¡¯s much easier to win more games.

    The Jazz are second with 24 wins and 8 losses, the SuperSonics are third with 23 wins and 8 losses, the Timberwolves are fourth with 22 wins and 10 losses, the Suns are fifth with 21 wins and 10 losses, the Trail Blazers are sixth with 21 wins and 10 losses, and the Spurs are 21  The eighth-place Rockets, with 11 wins and 16 losses, are in seventh place and occupy the first place with 16 wins and 16 losses.

    The six teams outside the top eight in the Western Conference, either voluntarily or forcedly, have all started to mess around.

    The Kings were 10 wins and 22 losses, and they won their 10th game only after defeating the Lakers. The Mavericks were 8 wins and 23 losses, the Warriors were 7 wins and 24 losses, the Clippers were 6 wins and 24 losses, the Grizzlies were 6 wins and 25 losses, and the Nuggets  3 wins and 29 losses.

    With 12 consecutive losses, 7 consecutive losses, and 10 consecutive losses, the Nuggets relied on their ability to take the lead in the competition with the Raptors, who started with a 17-game losing streak, and became the deputy squad leader of the league.

    At present, it seems to be obvious which level each team in the league belongs to. However, many media and experts believe that starting from today, the pattern of the league may change.

    At 9 a.m., the league announced on a national live broadcast on American cable TV that the three-point line specification with a top arc distance of 7.25 meters will be officially implemented from today!

    Do the media and experts really believe that changing the length of the three-point line can change the league pattern? This

    Anyway, no matter how alarmist they are, what they want is for fans of top teams to feel pressure, fans of first-class teams to see possibilities, and fans of weak teams to see hope.

    At the same time, the NBA officially announced three awards: Player of the Month, Rookie of the Month, and Coach of the Month.

    In December, he averaged 32.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.4 steals per game to help the Bulls achieve a record of 12 wins and 3 losses. Jordan, who remained in the first tier of the Eastern Conference, won the December Player of the Month award.

    Duncan, who averaged 27.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game in February, continues to win his Rookie of the Month award.

    Pacers coach Larry Bird won his first Coach of the Month award in his rookie season. Since the Coach of the Month award was established in 1990, it is the first time a rookie coach has won this award.

    In fact, if the Lakers hadn't gone 15-0 in the first month of the game and the Silver Fox had occupied the position, Larry Bird would have had a chance in the first month.

    Larry Bird and Duncan are two rookies who are simply stunned.

    In comparison, Duncan¡¯s side is more exaggerated.

    Putting Jordan's December data and Duncan's December data together, it's really hard to tell who won the Player of the Month award.

    The last rookie to perform like this was named Zhang Hao.

    ¡­¡­

    Yesterday, the Eagles came to Inglewood, and at 7 o'clock in the evening, the first game of the new year between the Lakers and the Eagles started.

    The Hawks currently have 16 wins and 16 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference. Without the offensive performance and organizational performance of Mookie Blakelow, the Hawks have become a purely defensive team, which is the same as last season.  The Cavaliers are similar, that is, with Mutombo, the league's number one defender, they are a little better than last season's Cavaliers.

    For such a team, it makes no difference to them whether they play against a strong or a weak team. The Eagles do not have the strength to widen the point difference in a wave. Strong teams have a headache when they encounter them, and weak teams have no problem beating them.  I would say there is no chance.

    Like the last time they played against each other, the Eagles started with intensity. They could only play like this. If they fell behind by too many points from the beginning, even if they were playing against a weak team, it would be difficult for them to catch up with the score difference.

    In the first game after the new version of the three-point line was activated, the Lakers encountered a dilemma - after the original three-point line floor was replaced with an ordinary floor, extremely fast reactions were required to grasp the fleeting situation under high confrontation.  When they have three-point opportunities, they habitually follow the original three-point shooting force and shoot from the new three-point line, and they have failed to do so several times!

 Chapter 360 360. Dong Qiao Xihao (4000 words, please vote for me)

    The Lakers made 1 of 10 three-pointers in the game, including 5 misses.

    The Eagles made 0 of 7 three-pointers, including three misses.

    There was no problem during training, and it looked okay when playing against the Clippers and Kings. However, after the new version of the three-point line distance was implemented, the long two-point shots in the high post area of ??the Lakers were affected. Zhang Hao and Ken  This is true for Nie Anderson, let alone anyone else.

    In this case, the adjustment was very simple. The two teams tacitly compressed the shooting area to within the distance of the free throw line.

    With the free throw line as a reference, you will be more courageous when taking a shot.

    However, it will be difficult for the Lakers to play within this distance without O'Neal

    Zhang Hao and Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, Sean Lukes, Jason Williams, Rick Fox and others tried their best to compete with the Hawks defensively and grab rebounds.

    Zhang Hao made 15 free throws in the game, setting a new season high. He made 14 of 15 free throws, but only made 6 of 18 shots. Two of them were scored on counterattacks, and he missed a three-pointer. He scored 26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks.  Jason Williams scored 14 points and 19 rebounds, and the two of them scored 40 points and 30 rebounds together. However, the rest of the Lakers only combined for 41 points The two of them scored more points than all the other teammates combined!

    Fortunately, the Eagles' already poor offense was more affected.

    Under the leadership of the two, the Lakers defeated the Hawks in a thrilling 81-77 manner, improving their record to 27 wins and 4 losses!

    ¡­¡­

    The first day when the new version of the three-point line was implemented, that is, the first day in 1998, can be said to be the day with the most three-pointers in the history of the NBA.

    There were a total of 7 games today, with 14 teams participating. There were a total of 71 missed shots, 63 of which were three-point shots in the top arc area.

    Dong Qiaodan and Xi Zhanghao are the most eye-catching.

    Jordan made 0 of 3 three-pointers in the top arc area, all of which were three-pointers. Zhang Hao made 0 of 4 three-pointers in the top arc area, three times of three-pointers, and one time he used too much force and hit the basket on the neck.

    With the impact of the extension of the three-point line, one of the possibilities predicted by experts has emerged-not only will it not increase the average points per game, but it will cause the average points per game of the league's teams to plummet in a short period of time.

    Today¡¯s 7 games, 14 teams, only the Suns scored more than 100 points, all other teams scored below 100 points, of which as many as 9 teams, more than half, scored below 90 points!

    There is also a very strange team - the Spurs. They only took 2 three-pointers in the game, and they made 0 of 2 shots. They took 78 shots in the game, 76 of which were inside the three-point line.

    Under this circumstance, the first discussion after the implementation of the new regulations on "should the three-point line be extended" started among the major media. Discussions also began in online forums and private fan gatherings

    ¡­¡­

    At 12 o'clock in the morning on the second day of the game against the Eagles, Zhang Hao opened his eyes and entered learning mode.

    The system prompt came immediately!

    ¡°The NBA three-point line adjustment officially came into effect on January 1, 1998. Part of the three-point line from the 45-degree turning point on both sides to the top arc area was extended, and the farthest top arc three-point line distance was extended to 7.25 meters.

    After the adjustment, the comprehensive situation analysis, calculation and judgment on the first match day, the three-point evaluation of special contract player Zhang Hao was adjusted to: 80 (82 three-pointers in the top arc area, 79 in the remaining positions).  "

    ¡°Ability evaluation: 88

    Physical fitness: Speed ??90, strength 92 (explosive power 90), jumping 94, flexibility 95, physical strength 93

    Shooting: 79 three-pointers, 92 mid-range shots, 95 layups

    Skills: 84 ball control, 79 passing, 93 catch-and-shoot, 82 catch-and-turn jump shot, 88 post-turn jump shot, 84 cutting, 59 jump step, 84 turn, 81 post-up skills, 90 ball control and change of direction, quickness  Stopped jump shot 69, post-up turnaround jump shot 80"

    This Nima, with a eyes of the top -level ability evaluation of 90, is still backward!

    Zhang Hao is very lucky. Fortunately, he remembered it at the beginning of the offseason. It seems that just before the lockout or something, the three-point line distance will be readjusted back to the three-point line distance before 1994. He has specially practiced it. Recently, he also  There are many shots in the game and hard practice after the game. Otherwise, you won't even be at this level.

    Now, his three-point level has basically returned to the level in the middle and late stages of his rookie season, but the difference is that now his three-pointers in each area are almost the same

    Fortunately, Zhang Hao¡¯s original shooting distance from the three-point line was already at a quasi-top level of 89. Now it has been integrated into the two-point distance from the farthest distance, which has not affected his comprehensive evaluation of mid-range shots.

    ¡°Sure enough, there are different versions of gods from generation to generation

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What will happen to Boss Qiao?

    But the extension of the three-point line makes me??A team like the Spurs may not decline due to the extension of the three-point line in the top arc area, and it is not necessarily possible that it will rise.

    There are many problems, such as habit, which is difficult to change.

    The previous early adaptation stage was about self-adaptation, having psychological expectations, and knowing how far to shoot from the three-point line.

    But when it comes to playing against a strong defensive team, the opponent intensifies the confrontation. Their Lakers pitchers react on the spot and withdraw from the top arc to shoot or run to the top arc to catch the ball and turn around to shoot. They may habitually shoot with the original intensity.  .

    You have to aim, the opportunity has been missed again, if you don't shoot, it is very likely that there will be a dead ball situation, and it will eventually become a forced shot.

    The key is that it doesn¡¯t mean that you can shoot two-pointers according to the original three-point line. Even long-two shooters of the level of Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson made mistakes in judging the position of the long two-pointer when playing against the Hawks.  Condition.

    This kind of thing sounds simple but is actually very difficult to do.

    Zhang Hao did not directly say how to solve the problem, but took out the unedited videotape, adjusted the time, and started talking about the first round when he encountered the problem.

    Then continue to adjust the time and talk about the second round of problems

    After talking about this, more than an hour passed. Zhang Hao started to talk about the good rounds and the good defensive adjustments the Eagles made after the space inside the three-point line became larger

    In a blink of an eye, more than three hours passed.

    But not only did the teammates not feel impatient, it was past lunch time, and no one complained. Only the figure of Jenny Bass, who turned into a waitress, delivering energy drinks to Zhang Hao moved.

    Some teammates¡¯ bladders were about to burst, but they did not interrupt Zhang Hao¡¯s continuous analysis.

    During last year¡¯s finals, old teammates experienced Zhang Hao¡¯s excellent analytical skills, but this time, they were even more shocked!

    Zhang Hao analyzed last night¡¯s game today!  Zhang Hao seemed to have studied every round of the 48-minute game, recorded the required time points, analyzed them, and told them about it!

    This is very important for every player on the Lakers. They can more clearly understand the impact of changes in the three-point line on them.

    At this time, someone interrupted me, someone went to pee, but I didn¡¯t know how to express myself.

    Not to mention the players, Silver Fox and his coaching staff were stunned!

    Last night, they worked overtime until after two o'clock, and they just discussed the impact on them in last night's game, and the study game hadn't even started yet.

    After sleeping for a few hours, I received news that there was going to be a team meeting, and they were here. I originally thought that Zhang Hao wanted everyone to discuss it In fact, after Zhang Hao analyzed it, he asked everyone to brainstorm and propose suggestions.  How to solve the problem, how to use the available points, a small notebook that recorded the time points and key points of his analysis, and asked Jenny Buss to help print it out and copy it to the coaching staff, teammates and videographers

    Zhang Hao just analyzed last night's game and didn't directly say how he wanted to change it. He didn't have the ability yet, so he thought of a way overnight.

    Even just like this, it has already made Silver Fox feel a huge crisis!

    But I have to say that Zhang Hao has analyzed all these things, which is definitely a good thing for Silver Fox, who is in urgent need of thinking of ways to adjust his tactics!

    "Am I getting old and can't keep up with the times? No, I'm still a very good coach! Wait, what job did I take last month? Be the head coach of the Chinese team? Can I resign?  "

    ¡­¡­

    With Zhang Hao¡¯s help, the coaching staff¡¯s work is progressing more smoothly.

    As for teammates, how much Zhang Hao¡¯s analysis can help them depends purely on the individual. For example, Jason Williams and Ben Wallace listened to it for a long time as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

    Although they don¡¯t know what the specific meaning is, they just think it¡¯s awesome.

    And people like Brian Shaw, Rick Fox, Kenny Anderson, O'Neal and Fisher all actively put forward their ideas to the assistant coach Kurt Rambis who is responsible for this aspect.

    The Lakers do not want to play it safe and take one step at a time like some teams do. They want to take advantage of the changes, but adjustments cannot be made in a day and must be taken slowly.

    Soon, the two rest days passed by, and on January 4th, the game day against the 76ers arrived.

 Chapter 361 361. Wukong, you are naughty (4 updates, 16,000 words, please vote for me!)

    The Great Western Forum Arena seemed to be plunged into a sea of ??purple and gold tonight.

    It¡¯s rare that by the middle of the season, so many people at the Lakers¡¯ home court came to watch the game wearing team T-shirts or a certain star¡¯s jersey.

    This makes the Lakers players very excited.

    Before the Christmas Day game, the Lakers began to suffer from turbulence and aristocratic disease, which was related to fatigue.

    There is nothing you can do about physical fatigue. Professional sports are basically a group of people who need exercise the most watching a group of people who need a rest exercise.

    But fatigue is not just physical fatigue, but also psychological fatigue.

    The Lakers¡¯ mental fatigue in the middle of the season is most often manifested in the fact that they are prone to slacking off and getting carried away.

    Although the Lakers have always had aristocratic disease, it is particularly prominent in the middle of the season.

    But emotions will definitely be affected by the environment. The enthusiasm of the fans tonight affected the Lakers players!

    In the player tunnel.

    "Akers, look, there are so many people wearing your jersey!" Kenny Anderson looked more excited than Zhang Hao Everyone looked more excited than Zhang Hao.

    "Oh I have always heard that my jerseys are out of stock. I thought it was because my jerseys were printed less, but it turns out they don't wear them."

    "" Kenny Anderson really wanted to jump up and hit Zhang Hao on the knee!

    The topic ended too quickly!

    As Kenny Anderson said, about one-third of the fans tonight are wearing Lakers T-shirts or sweatshirts, and almost half of the fans are wearing jerseys. If you look around, the jersey number you can see the most is Zhang Hao.  No. 8.

    So far this season, there have only been two occasions where fans have been so neatly dressed. One was tonight and the other was the opening game.

    But that time, the jersey number that most fans wore was Magic¡¯s No. 32.

    The season has progressed so far, and when the fans once again wore jerseys to watch the game, they were already wearing Zhang Hao¡¯s jerseys!

    Listening to Kenny Anderson¡¯s excited voice, Zhang Hao was actually a little moved for some reason.

    It makes him sad to think about it. The home fans put on team T-shirts, sweatshirts and jerseys to watch the game, and he was actually moved.

    This shows how bad Lakers fans usually do - they are not even happy to wear a jersey to watch the game!

    However, this also shows how much the fans attach importance to this game.

    With so many people watching their game live, it¡¯s definitely impossible to watch them lose

    At this time, a fat man who heard the conversation between Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao muttered: "There are many fans wearing my jersey"

    Nearly half of the fans at the scene wore jerseys with the number 8, and there were also many with the number 36, more than a quarter, there were two to three thousand people, but too many people wearing the number 8 were too conspicuous.

    ¡­¡­

    As Zhang Hao and his teammates thought, Lakers fans took this game very seriously.

    Lakers fans have learned this season how fans of other teams felt about Zhang Hao during his rookie season.

    This season, the NBA player who has appeared on the front pages of newspapers and on TV news the most is Jordan. Although he is not the one who has made the most headlines, he is the one who has made the most news.

    The second one is not Zhang Hao, O'Neal, Anfernee Hardaway, Iverson and other "over-the-top stars", but Tim Duncan who has the blessing of a rookie status.

    Just like the 1995-96 season, as long as you follow the NBA, you can see reports about Duncan every day.

    This is simply torture for fans whose teams have powerful stars.

    Of course, there will be many stars who can't stand it and try to teach Duncan a lesson during the gamethe results are disastrous.

    For example, on December 28 last year, when the 76ers challenged the Timberwolves away from home, Garnett clamored to teach Duncan a lesson. At the beginning of the game, he cut into the space and dunked on Duncan, then yelled at Duncan, and then

    Duncan scored 31 points, 22 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks that night

    Garnett's performance was not bad. He had 26 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He moved flexibly and was very coquettish. He shot from the position and coordinated the ball. He played extremely well. He relied on seeing Iverson.  With Marbury's game-high 33 points and Gugliotta's 19 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, the Timberwolves narrowly defeated the 76ers 104-100.

    Garnett was personally beaten to pieces by Duncan. When Duncan played against the Timberwolves, his basket was almost the same as O'Neal's, and he also had a mid-range shot, but Garnett at least regained some dignity by winning.

    It¡¯s just that the fans watching the game didn¡¯t know it and thought they were joining the game.sp; For the inside players of this era, the adjustment of the three-point line has little impact on them.

    For All-Star outsiders like Iverson and Kenny Anderson, it doesn¡¯t have much impact. The three-point shooting has become worse and breakthroughs have become easier.

    For functional players, such as Brent Barry, Piakowsky, Fisher and others, it has no impact.

    But for an all-around player like Rick Fox, the impact is relatively large.

    Jim Jackson of the 76ers, his ability evaluation dropped from 84 to 79, which was a direct drop.

    When Zhang Hao was playing with the ball near his own basket and analyzing the new version of the player detection report, he suddenly stretched out a hand, slapped the bouncing ball, and took the ball away. In Zhang Hao's stunned eyes, the player  One step to the right side of the three-second zone, flying and hit a layup.

    The visitor turned around and saw the expression finally fluctuating on Zhang Hao's face. The stunned look made the visitor couldn't help but smile

    The visitor thought he was sneaking into the opponent's half, but he was so big. When he tiptoed to the Lakers' side, except for Zhang Hao, who had his back turned to him, the rest of the Lakers had already noticed him.

    The behavior of the visitor is actually nothing. The other player came over to have fun.

    Although the hostility between the two sides in the game was very strong, it was mainly the hostility of the 76ers. The Lakers won the last meeting. In this meeting, it was definitely not the Lakers players who were angry about losing.

    So, when this person came and played like this, it just surprised the Lakers players.

    Because the person who came is called "Xiao Ritian".

    ??Xiao Ritian can be a non-personal person in private, but in public, he should be cold-blooded and ruthless.

    But this guy¡¯s inexplicable operation just now After he got the nicknames "Monkey" and "Stone Monkey" as a co-author, did he really become angry?

    It was nothing at first, but when this guy smiled, the Lakers players felt so horrified and a sense of crisis suddenly emerged!

    What is this guy going to do to the gentleman from their Lakers team!

    You were abused during the game and want to use some evil means to take revenge?

    We can¡¯t let this guy succeed!  Sure enough, none of them are gentlemen!

    Ben Wallace, Jason Williams, Doug Christie, Kenny Anderson Including O'Neal, 13 of Zhang Hao's teammates gathered around.

    Duncan was startled by the people who suddenly surrounded him - what happened?  Even just joking around?

    Are you so stingy?

    The players on the 76ers team didn¡¯t know what happened. In the blink of an eye, their baby genius ran to the opposite side and was surrounded by the opponent. The 76ers players also ran over.

    The referees were inspecting the equipment with the technical table officials. Suddenly, the players from the two teams gathered together, and they all looked menacing. They were startled and hurriedly ran towards the crowd.

    Zhang Hao was also shocked by Duncan. The reactions of his teammates and Duncan's teammates shocked him even more

    Seeing that the referees were crowding in and a conflict was about to occur between his teammates and the opposing players, Zhang Hao walked up and touched Duncan's head: "Wukong, you are naughty."

    Duncan was frightened by the Lakers players who gathered around him. His expressionless face this time was because he really didn¡¯t know what expression to make, so that Zhang Hao, who was nearly 9 months younger than him, patted his head like a little brother to comfort him.  None of them avoided it.

    With this action, the players from both teams stopped playing, and Iverson pulled the frightened Duncan back to his bench.

    The conflict started very suddenly, but ended very quickly, before the conflict officially started.

    The referee felt like he punched cotton, but he was very lucky.

    Live broadcast across the United States!  If the game starts before it starts

    ¡°However, the referee did not know what happened after the conflict ended.

    From the tone, actions and words of Zhang Hao educating his little friends, it seemed that Duncan had done something provocative.

    The referee looked at Duncan who was pulled back by Iverson and thought to himself - as expected, people like Zhang Hao are in trouble!

    Still pretending to be a good baby, ah!  After pretending for so long, it¡¯s time to show your true colors!

    But, what is "Wukong"?

    On the other side, Duncan, who was pulled back, finally got out of his frightened mood and came up with an idea - what is Wukong?

 Chapter 362 362. The stone monkey will never escape (8000 words, please vote for me!)

    Compared to Silver Fox¡¯s calmness, 76ers coach Larry Brown was shocked!

    Fortunately, there was no fight.

    After breathing a sigh of relief, looking at his lineup, Larry Brown was very confident.

    With 24 wins and 8 losses, he felt that he was so good that he couldn't help it.

    Last season, the 76ers were the team with the No. 1 pick and were third from the bottom in the league. Now, they have a record in the top five in the league!

    Furthermore, the distance between the three-point line in the top arc area has been extended. Larry Brown came to Los Angeles and wanted to skate and kneel on the beach in Los Angeles to celebrate!

    Iverson will definitely not be thinking about throwing three-pointers now!

    The 76ers are currently on a four-game road trip to California. The day before yesterday, on the 2nd, they played against the Clippers. Larry Brown felt so happy. The 76ers only took 4 three-pointers in the game. This season  The lowest since the start of the year.

    He started coaching the NBA in his 30s. When he first started coaching, the NBA did not have a three-point line. In the first 10 years after the introduction of the three-point line, those who could hit 100 three-pointers in a single season were all great shooters and won the three-point championship.  The presence.

    Later, players who averaged two three-pointers per game were still called great shooters.

    But in the past two years, three-pointers averaging 3+ three-pointers per game have appeared.

    This is difficult for Larry Brown, who is already in his 50s, to accept it. He is unwilling and does not know how to make adjustments.

    Now, time comes!

    The day before yesterday, he played the Clippers with a score of 85-69. Larry Brown felt that his time had come!

    After the pre-match activities, the referee signaled the two teams to start and the game was about to begin.

    The referee is on standby, something is pressing on both sides, so be careful when calling tonight.

    ??????????????????????????

    That thing about the Lakers, what are you doing again!

    The referee saw a camera moving outside the home team's tunnel, and Zhang Hao ran over.

    Soon, the lights dimmed, Zhang Hao¡¯s face appeared on the big screen, and the audience burst into cheers.

    Duncan looked at Zhang Hao¡¯s poker face and opened his mouth on the big screen, and had a bad feeling

    "ah¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s roar resounded throughout the audience!

    Actually, he didn¡¯t use too much sound, but even though he made such a loud sound, it still felt like it was continuous.

    Duncan suddenly felt unhappy - he yelled at me again!  No, he seemed to be yelling at our entire team, so he wasn¡¯t yelling at me

    After a roar, the camera was withdrawn, the lights were turned on, and the players from both teams felt excited.

    "Wolf's Roar (Silver) is triggered, the players participating in this game have high morale, they are invincible and I am different"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Complete the advanced usage conditions of Garnett Card, and see if you want to use it later.

    The Wolf Shark version of Remy Martin is also super strong. The Jordan card is too life-consuming, and the Garnet card is probably enough.

    Zhang Hao walked onto the court and the system prompt came.

    ¡°Specially contracted player Zhang Hao is challenged by members of 183club, and the mission: Enemies of 183 is triggered.¡±

    ¡°The enemy of 183:

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to complete at least one cross-step change and score in each quarter in the game against the 76ers.

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to face Iverson to complete a cross-step change and score a breakthrough.

    Goal 3: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers score over 100 points in the game against the 76ers.

    Goal 4: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers defeat the 76ers.

    Reward: Designated Medal Cross Step King Silver Upgrade Card.  "

    This is the second time this task has been triggered. The last time it was triggered last season was against Tim Hardaway, the league's number one point guard last season, but it failed.

    Put away your distracting thoughts and concentrate, the game is about to begin.

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    The 76ers sent a starting combination of Iverson, Jim Jackson, George Lynch, Duncan and Campbell.

    The game starts at 7pm.

    Duncan beat O'Neal to win the jump ball, and the 76ers attacked first!

    The Lakers lost the opportunity to start a fast break. O'Neal quickly retreated from defense in frustration. He hadn't played in a few games and his jump ball was a bit rusty.

    Iverson received the ball and advanced quickly, and Duncan and George Lynch quickly moved down the wings.

    Zhang Hao blocked Duncan, O'Neal retreated to the basket and George Lynch did not dare to go in.

    The 76ers followed the Lakers' starting fast break after their last game against the Lakers.nbsp; Although there was a sense of crisis, Zhang Hao's detailed analysis after the game the day before yesterday was of great help to his tactical adjustments!

    There is also Zhang Hao¡¯s independent adjustment on the defensive end. The make-up defense that interrupted Iverson¡¯s rhythm just after the timeout was so beautiful. The basic defensive skills and awareness are improving, and they are improving while the offensive end has been improving

    ¡°Forget about those bad things, enjoy the benefits first, and plan your tactics happily first.

    The Lakers made personnel adjustments, and the combination of Fisher, Brent Barry, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and O'Neal came on the court.

    The 76ers also made personnel adjustments, and the combination of Eric Snow, Iverson, George Lynch, Coleman, and Duncan was replaced.

    Sure enough, Campbell was replaced!

    After the first timeout, Zhang Hao moved to the small forward position, which brought many benefits!  Not only can he find a shooting feel during the game, but he is also more outside on the defensive end, ready to counterattack at any time, forcing the opponent to retreat faster than originally, and turning back with Campbell.

    Not everyone has the talent of O'Neal and Sabonis, and not everyone can have such good physical strength at such a heavy weight.

    Sabonis looks like he is not very physical after playing only 32 minutes per game, but he is 33 years old and has injuries.

    ¡­¡­

    The official timeout comes back and the 76ers attack.

    Eric Snow broke through to the free throw line with the ball, and Fisher stayed inside the free throw line. At this position, even if Snow only averaged 3.3 points per game, he couldn't let it go, otherwise it would be like a free throw.

    Iverson slipped to the baseline and used Duncan to pick and roll. O'Neal immediately switched defenses with Zhang Hao.

    Snow passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan suddenly knocked Zhang Hao away and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

    O¡¯Neal had already made up for it immediately after Snow passed the ball, but he didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to be so good

    This sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu is really similar to O¡¯Neal hitting Zhang Hao with his back in the low post!

    After being beaten 10-2, the 76ers finally scored again on the offensive end.

    But the core reason is the threat Iverson brings to the Lakers when he plays shooting guard for more than 20 minutes per game this season.

    Larry Brown is not useless on the offensive end. He keenly judged that Iverson is more suitable for the shooting guard position rather than the point guard. Snow's defensive ability also satisfied him very much. When Snow returned the favor,  He asked Iverson to switch between the shooting guard and point guard positions. Each game had about 20 minutes of rotation time, allowing Iverson to play shooting guard.

    Since then, after playing 32 games, Iverson's scoring average has increased to 24.9 points per game, which is more than Duncan's scoring increase in December. Duncan averaged 24.7 points per game before this game.

    Zhang Hao and his teammates also feel that the shooting guard position is really suitable for Iverson.

    At this time, I am still a little lucky that the coach of the 76ers is Larry Brown. Although Larry Brown does a good defense, but the offense Iverson did not continue to develop three-pointers

    If it were the original three-point line, Iverson was very accurate on three-pointers, at an upper-class level. In his rookie year, he averaged 2.1 shots per game with a 34.1% shooting rate, and he made them in a pure singles style. In theory,  , before the three-point line in the top arc area is extended, his ball-holding style and outside shots will definitely be concentrated in the top arc area, and he will definitely continue to improve.

    This year, Larry Brown didn't give him a chance to shoot three-pointers. He would argue when he did. He got annoyed and really stopped shooting. However, the long two-pointers within one step of the three-point line were amazingly accurate, with a shooting rate of 44.2%.  It is his most accurate shooting distance except for layups.

    When the Lakers were on offense and was dunked, Zhang Hao ran to the frontcourt like nothing happened.

    Duncan is said to be like Zhang Hao, and another reason is that both of them are expressionless because of their active defense.

    But the difference is

    Zhang Hao came to the top arc and asked for the ball from Fisher who was advancing!

    The fans at the scene cheered!

    Are there any fans who feel inexplicably excited when their own star becomes the background?

    Yes, Lakers fans are.

    Duncan, who was blocking O'Neal under the basket, suddenly had a bad premonition, and then saw O'Neal, who was still blocking the position ferociously just now, suddenly ran away. At this time, Duncan had only one thought - the familiar rush is coming again

    Duncan didn¡¯t run away either, trying to defend himself

    Sure enough, looking back at the top arc, the big No. 8 Lakers jersey was already coming towards me.

    It was too late to make any defensive moves, so I could only stretch out my hand as much as possibleand then everything went dark

    Zhang Hao forced George Lynch to rush to the inside and smashed the ball into the basket through Duncan!

 Chapter 363 363. The third No. 1 pick got screwed instead (4000 words, please vote for me)

    Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Zhang Hao¡¯s system prompt came.

    ¡°The enemy of 183:

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to complete at least one cross-step change and score in each quarter in the game against the 76ers.  (14)

    ¡­¡±

    "Revenge is something that should be done immediately if there is a chance."

    By the way, I also completed a mission goal, which is great.

    It¡¯s just that Coleman didn¡¯t make up for it, and stood about one meter to the right of the three-second zone to watch the show

    When Duncan saw Zhang Hao complete the dunk, he didn¡¯t even look at him. Instead, he looked at Coleman He was a little angry, but he immediately controlled it. As long as he didn¡¯t get yelled at, nothing would happen.

    But Zhang Hao looked at Coleman This made Duncan feel really bad. Even his opponents could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with their coach.

    The 76ers attacked, Snow advanced to the frontcourt, and Iverson continued to slip to the bottom line, looking for Duncan to pick and roll.

    This time Zhang Hao did not switch defenses with O'Neal, and went around the line to chase Iverson. O'Neal had a tacit understanding at the basket to prevent Duncan from directly catching the ball and dunking.

    On the right side of the three-second zone, Jason Williams moved laterally, not to chase Iverson, but just moved to the right sideline of the three-second zone.

    To avoid early flanking, Jason Williams' defensive movement was purely to interfere with the baseline pass. The Lakers' three frontcourt defenses of 3 and 2 did a good job, but Coleman was empty!

    Snow passed the ball to Coleman on the right side of the three-second zone. Coleman caught the ball and made a mid-range shotit was iron!

    Jason Williams protects the defensive rebound!

    This time, Jason Williams's enthusiasm was a little "redundant". Coleman didn't make any move to rush after shooting, and he was careless when retreating. If Iverson hadn't actively rushed to catch Zhang Hao who received the pass,  , the Lakers have a chance to counterattack.

    The core lineup of the 76ers' three No. 1 picks, and the two No. 1 picks in the first and second years attracted the defense of the opponent's three inside players. Coleman was wide open, but he didn't make a shot!

    Coleman¡¯s shooting action was veryrelaxed?  It should be said that he was relaxed, so casual that Hubie Brown, the commentator of Time Warner Cable Sports, complained wildly, bluntly saying that Larry Brown was not as good as rookie Tim Thomas.

    Losing the opportunity to counterattack, Zhang Hao passed the ball to advancing defender Fisher.

    Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Larry Brown's defensive coaching is really good. Last year, Iverson was still too aggressive with loopholes. But with Larry Brown, he has become a weapon against fast breaks!

    Fisher advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Zhang Hao, then pulled to the left corner, and Brent Barry pulled to the right corner.

    Zhang Hao broke through George Lynch, and the 76ers defensive rotation began to move. Zhang Hao broke into the free throw line, and Duncan moved ahead of schedule. Zhang Hao hit the left sideline in three seconds. The 76ers' defense arrived, but Snow did not block it directly.  Zhang Hao, instead went to grab the ball that Zhang Hao passed to O'Neal!  As soon as O'Neal received the ball, he quickly turned his back to the basket and was almost grabbed by Snow.

    When O'Neal was about to turn around and carry it in again, Duncan had already taken it back.

    George Lynch actively blocked the passing line between Zhang Hao and O'Neal. O'Neal shot from the left corner, and Fisher received the ball and shot a three-pointer

    Before the critical moment, Fisher really didn't score, leaving an open three-pointer!

    Jason Williams almost rushed to grab the offensive rebound, but Duncan reacted quickly. Since Jason Williams was not in a good position, he jumped up and took advantage of his long hand to shoot the ball out. Iverson relied on  Grab the ball quickly and counterattack!

    Trotting all the way, no one could catch up. Iverson scored two points with a fast break dunk.

    15 to 16, the 76ers held on to the score!

    Looking at Fisher running back to the backcourt to receive Zhang Hao's serve, the Silver Fox was speechless. Fisher was not accurate. In his rookie season, the three-point shooting percentage was 39.2%, the highest in the Lakers team. Although the sample was not large, the average number of shots per game was 39.2%.  Scored 0.5 three-pointers.

    But as a rookie last season, Fisher responded to shots at critical moments in 4 games and completed key ball tasks. But usually Fisher is really not reliable at all. You think he should score, but he just doesn't.  ¡­

    After Fisher advanced past half court, he handed the ball to Zhang Hao at the top of the arc. Zhang Hao quickly made adjustments, caught the ball, made a strong breakthrough, and took a long two-point shot from outside the free throw line but missed!

    O'Neal rushed to grab the offensive rebound and made a tip-in!

    When the 76ers attack again, Snow dribbles to the free throw line to maintain a threat. Iverson slides the baseline and takes the defense down the line. Coleman receives the ball again in the middle distance on the right side.  Even if you take a shot from an open position, you are still strong!

    Duncan's offensive rebounds were very good, but with O'Neal in front of him and surrounded by Zhang Hao and Jason Williams, he could only retreat immediately.

    &nbs??.

    It is quite rare for someone to have such poor professional quality.

    Larry Brown doesn¡¯t have a good temper. During the break, Coleman returned to the bench, and Larry Brown pointed at his nose and cursed.

    This scene even shocked the opposing Lakers. Larry Brown was almost 60 years old, but his ferocious look made it feel like he was going to skin Coleman alive.

    During two-thirds of the break between quarters, Larry Brown used it to scold Coleman and then replaced him. The combination of Duncan and Campbell was replaced again, and the remaining one-third of the time was used to deploy defense.

    The intersection break is almost over. Duncan came to the technical table to apply magnesium powder. It was too difficult to play against the Lakers!

    What makes him most tormented is that Zhang Hao seems to have relatively single skills. No matter whether he plays power forward or small forward, he is not a comprehensive type. However, Zhang Hao relies on his golf intelligence and rich mastery of basic basketball knowledge he can always make the difference.  Show your strength!

    In terms of exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, it would be difficult for Duncan to find anyone who can compare with Zhang Hao.

    "Let your head coach be careful, I'm worried Coleman will strangle your head coach to death."

    Duncan was deep in thought when he heard an emotionless "suggestion".

    The voice was still relatively familiar. Duncan turned to look at Zhang Hao and responded seriously: "Akers, you are indeed a good person, but you don't have to worry, our head coach can scold a person until he has no courage to do anything."

    ""

    Zhang Hao felt as if he was praised by Duncan. Also, was Duncan praising Larry Brown?

    Why do these two compliments sound so awkward?

    He is obviously teasing Duncan¡¯s teammates

    The two sultry men looked at each other and did not continue talking. The situation was very embarrassing

    Fortunately, the referee signaled the players from both teams to come on stage, and the awkward encounter ended.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Piakowsky, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams and O'Neal.

    The 76ers sent a combination of Iverson, Jim Jackson, Mark Davis, Duncan and Campbell.

    The Lakers attack first.

    Kenny Anderson is holding the ball. Although Zhang Hao and O'Neal are both on the court, Kenny Anderson, who has returned from half a quarter of rest, is about to start the main attack.

    It is not difficult for Kenny Anderson, who is at his peak, to break through Iverson. Just be careful not to get intercepted. When Kenny Anderson breaks through from the right, Zhang Hao slips to the bottom line and affects the opponent's defense.

    Zhang Hao slipped out from the baseline, got rid of Campbell who was switching defense, and went around to the left side of the free throw line to receive a pass from Kenny Anderson. Iverson made up for it. With such a huge height gap, Zhang Hao made a quick and accurate mid-range shot. The 76ers  The team had given up, but Zhang Hao didn't shoot immediately, but pulled away and changed direction to break through!

    Iverson keenly seized the opportunity, pounced and swatted away the ball that Zhang Hao was about to pull behind him!

    Relying on faster speed and agility, Iverson grabbed the ball and counterattacked!

    Running all the way to the frontcourt, Iverson's fast break and throwing throwing, I didn't dare to return my head, completed the fast break at the fastest speed, and chased the score to 23 to 27.

    With this goal, the fans at the scene let out cries of regret. Obviously, they were very excited that Zhang Hao was going to cross-step to beat Iverson in singles, but Zhang Hao didn't do it well.

    When the Lakers attacked again, Kenny Anderson chose to continue playing according to the previous round. Zhang Hao once again went around to receive the ball on the left side of the free throw line. In the previous round, Jim Jackson let go of Piakow.  Ski came over to flank Zhang Hao who was catching the ball. Jim Jackson did not come over this time. Zhang Hao has the characteristic of revenge

    However, Zhang Hao did not continue to wave, but decisively caught the ball, turned around, and shot a jumper from the free throw line

    Hit!

    Just now, the Lakers had the opportunity to open the point difference to 8 points, and then they had the opportunity to further open the point difference to double digits. Zhang Hao made the wrong choice, wasted the opportunity, and was chased by the 76ers.  With 4 points left, Zhang Hao scored the goal, making up the difference back to 6 points.

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 364 364. Sweep again!  (4000 words, please vote for me)

    But no one blames him, not even O'Neal. Who hasn't had a chance to take a break?

    But Zhang Hao himself felt ashamed and secretly swore in his heart that if he didn't have to do that, he would never play cross-step again in the future when facing an opponent without a speed advantage.

    There are so many tricks you can use, it¡¯s not necessary.

    "As for the matter of revengeit's such a big deal.

    There is a mission goal that must break through Iverson, but the opponent is already prepared. It is obviously not a good opportunity just now, and we have to wait for a better time to appear.

    With Kenny Anderson's trust, O'Neal's cooperation, and the opponent's wrong judgment, Zhang Hao stabilized and did not collapse.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s self-regulation ability is so strong that the 76ers players felt very sorry and thought they could take the opportunity to counterattack.

    When the 76ers attacked and fell into a positional battle, Duncan showed off his power. After receiving the ball, Zhang Hao turned around and hit a shot from close range before Zhang Hao's double attack was in place!

    How terrible is Duncan's stability?

    You know that he basically has to score two goals in singles in every quarter, and you can probably predict when he will play in singles, which is usually when players other than Iverson need to play in singles to ensure scoring, but this time he  At this time, you can maintain a high hit rate.

    When the Lakers attack, the 76ers don't give Kenny Anderson a chance to score in isolation. Kenny Anderson can tell from the opponent's defense. Unless he makes a strong shot like Iverson or Duncan, there will always be someone when he takes the shot.  Make up for it.

    Having no choice but to force it, Kenny Anderson continued to launch a team attack.

    Zhang Hao continued to sneak to the baseline, and the 76ers' defense changed. Duncan no longer switched defenses with Campbell, but went to the line. Jim Jackson moved in front of Zhang Hao from the wing, and did not give Zhang Hao a chance to catch the ball. Duncan went to flank Kenny -  Anderson, but Kenny Anderson still passed the ball out. Piakowski caught the ball from the left sideline and took an open three-pointer

    With no way to make up for it, Iverson still rushed forward immediately, even if it was a scare. Some players with poor psychological quality will subconsciously speed up their shooting and lose stability if they are yelled at from a distance.

    The attention of both teams was focused on this goal. In the second half of the first quarter, Fisher's inaccurate three-pointer from the wing was the key to the 76ers' ability to hold on to the score when Coleman was so screwed up.  The reason is that the defense is like this, letting the secondary scorers go and trying to block the key scorers.

    O¡¯Neal and Jason Williams are both preparing to rush, while Duncan and Campbell are ready to protect defensive rebounds.

    This time, the Silver Fox's pitcher selection was correct. Piakowsky took his first shot and hit a three-pointer!

    The benefits of hoarding shooters are reflected when Rick Fox's top arc shot can no longer open up the space, Fisher's wing shot is inaccurate, Doug Christie and Brent Barry are averagely efficient, and Piakow  Ski can be used!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????If Duncan and Campbell play together, the Lakers' offense will fall into a stage that relies solely on the individual abilities of the stars. They can still play, but the game will become much more difficult.

    This is what the 76ers want, the Lakers don't want to play like this.

    But when Piakowski scored, it was the 76ers' turn to have a headache.

    The 76ers are once again in a difficult journey of chasing points.

    Zhang Hao is the target of focus. In the first quarter, Zhang Hao scored 14 points in a single quarter. With Zhang Hao's decisiveness, he shot from the mid-range Therefore, Kenny Anderson's shot and O'Neal's basket response opportunity are available!

    The credit was due to Duncan's 4 points and 1 assist in the second half of the second quarter, and Iverson's 6 points and 2 assists. The two led the 76ers to 15 points in the second half of the second quarter before winning in the third quarter.  At the halfway point of the second quarter, the score difference was already widened to 11 points. With a 15-11 run in the next five minutes or so, the score difference was narrowed to 7 points, preventing the team from entering the second half with a double-digit gap.

    After halftime, the Lakers led the 76ers by 7 points 53 to 46 entering the intermission.

    Zhang Hao scored 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 block in the second quarter, and finished the half with 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. His performance was quite good. The only regret was that he failed to break through 20 points at halftime.

    But fortunately, the mission goal was to score once in each quarter with a cross-step breakthrough. After George Lynch was replaced in the second half of the second quarter, Zhang Hao made a strong breakthrough from the outside and scored with a close-range throw when he needed a single.  Duncan's defensive foul and extra penalty hit, and he scored the second goal of this quarter. It was because of his single breakthrough at this necessary moment of 2+1 that the Lakers were not affected by the 76ers' wave in the second half of the second quarter.  Completely narrow the score difference.

    Regarding Larry Brown¡¯s defensive adjustments, the Lakers feel a lot of pressure!

    In the second half of the second quarter, their regular score was 8 points. Zhang Hao made a one-on-three toss in that breakthrough and causedKen made a tip-in, and Iverson made a strong push to the basket but was knocked away but still threw the ball into the basket. 2+1 successfully helped the 76ers narrow the point difference to 8 points, but then, O'Neal arrogantly  A one-on-two floater was scored, and then O'Neal's attack with the ball forced the 76ers to shrink their defense and rotate defense at high speed. Zhang Hao caught the ball and got rid of Aaron McGee with a cross step, and broke into the inside and hit the ball with a high throw.

    After being beaten 5-0, the Lakers fought back 4-0. After three quarters, the Lakers led the 76ers 77-65 by 12 points entering the final quarter!

    At the beginning of the last quarter, both teams scored two goals in a row, and the score was 81 to 69. It was time for the 76ers to attack again. Seeing the time decreasing little by little, Iverson began to play life-threatening mode, driving to the basket and trying to  A foul was caused or a goal was scored, but this time, Zhang Hao and O'Neal cooperated tacitly. O'Neal withstood it and blocked it without reaching out or pressing anyone hastily. He lost the opportunity to block the shot, but Zhang Hao quickly moved sideways from the left baseline.  Palm caught Iverson's throw directly!

    Zhang Hao almost lost his footing when he hit the ground after grabbing the block. Iverson was blocked and felt like he was going to explode, but he still retreated immediately. Zhang Hao passed the ball to Kenny Anderson and started the fast break with all his strength. Without the restraint of dribbling, Zhang Hao  After passing all his teammates, "Ride Alone" was triggered and quickly passed other 76ers players except Iverson at the midline.

    After passing the center circle, Zhang Hao received a back pass from Kenny Anderson and met Iverson's rush at the top arc.

    This time, Zhang Hao judged the timing correctly. When Iverson was grabbing the ball, he lowered his center of gravity and pressed his hand down in advance. He quickly shot the bouncing ball. The ball passed from Zhang Hao to his left leg in front of the right.  Passing through, Zhang Hao received the ball with his right hand and blocked Iverson with his body, denying the opponent a chance to steal and break through!

    This time, Iverson failed to block Zhang Hao's breakthrough, and after Zhang Hao passed Iverson, "riding alone" was triggered at full power!  Iverson, who was passed by, turned around and tried to get close to him but was too late to interfere. Zhang Hao rushed inside and smashed the ball into the basket like a tomahawk chop.

    83 to 69, the score difference came to 14 points!

    In the last quarter, the 76ers, who won the opening jump ball, took the lead, but the Lakers continued to widen the point difference from the beginning, and Zhang Hao's breakthrough in the counterattack just now.

    That crisp dunk sounded like the death knell for the 76ers.

    The psychological blow was too great. Iverson was passed by an inside player who was similar in height to Duncan when his opponent used a cross ratio to change direction to score. It was tantamount to giving Iverson a slap in the face

    Iverson is not the kind of person who gives up when he is hit, and Duncan will not be hit just because he is behind by more than ten points. Iverson is still actively trying to make a comeback, and Duncan is still steady, but in the next time, the 76ers  The team could no longer reduce the point difference to single digits until the final whistle sounded

    In the end, Zhang Hao made 11 of 24 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws to score 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. O'Neal scored 19 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.  Neil Anderson's 16 points and 7 assists, Jason Williams' 7 points and 10 rebounds The Lakers steadily defeated the 76ers 103-90, improving their record to 28 wins and 4 losses!

    Iverson had 31 points, 7 assists and 3 steals, and Duncan had 26 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. The performance of the two could not be better.

    They themselves can feel it, and they have been doing a good job in adjusting and responding defensively, but!  The Lakers' defensive response also did a good job.

    The key at this time is to adjust the offensive end.

    While the Lakers have made proper adjustments on the defensive end, they are also top-notch on the offensive end, and their 76ers

    At this time, an idea appeared in Iverson's heart, which can be described in a poem - I could have endured the darkness, if I had never seen the sun.

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

    The double champion was very reluctant to lose, but from a strength perspective, he still accepted it.

    They had many counterattacks, but they were resolved by the Lakers one by one.

    The gap in strength is obvious. Even the adjustments after the New Year that they are proud of, the other party is not worse than them

    On the other side, Zhang Hao is very happy now!

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to face Iverson to complete a cross-step change and score a breakthrough.  (completed.)

    Goal 3: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers score over 100 points in the game against the 76ers.  (103 points, completed.)

    Goal 4: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers defeat the 76ers.  (completed.)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Designated Medal Cross Step King Silver Upgrade Card.  "

    Finally, this mission is finally completed!

    ??We failed when we faced Tim Hardaway and Mourning at the end of last season. Nearly half of this season, we finally got it.

    Regarding the game itself, Zhang Hao saw the progress of his team and felt that the hard work paid off.

    They will continue to work hard. In fact, they still encountered many problems in this game. However, although the 76ers are more adaptable than other teams, they still have many loopholes and many areas for improvement. It is just that they are better than other teams.  The team adapts faster, but there are still a lot of things that need to be adjusted. The Lakers have grasped the advantage. When O'Neal is back in good condition and is conscientiously doing what he should do in a game like this, will the Lakers win?  Disaster.

    And they were able to seize the opportunity after having a clear adjustment direction. Starting tactical preparations nearly three weeks in advance last month was a huge help.

    Those things are not useless, but are linked together.

    How to be a good coach, Zhang Hao learned something again

    The post-match interview came. Zhang Hao turned off the system first and accepted the interview first.

    "Shi Fo, you once again completed a sweep of the No. 1 pick. People say you are the template for Duncan. Do you have any suggestions for Duncan's next game?"

    "No, he has almost nothing to improve, and his talent is limited."

    ¡°¡­¡± The beautiful girl from Time Warner Cable Sports really wanted to jump up and hit Zhang Hao on the knee!

    However, she really couldn't refute it. Indeed, Duncan was almost a perfect rookie in many aspects.

    But when the truth came out of Zhang Hao¡¯s mouth, even the reporters from the American cable TV station who were leaning towards him wanted to beat him up!

    I can¡¯t bear it!  The young female reporter asked from a different angle: "What did the 76ers not do well enough in this game? Duncan or Iverson?"

    ¡°They are all still kids and have just entered the NBA. It is normal for them to perform poorly occasionally.¡±

    "They are all older than you, and Duncan is more than 8 months older than you."

    "Oh, that's too bad for him. His template is younger than his age."

    ""

    I can¡¯t continue the interview!

    Although what Zhang Hao said is true if you think about it carefully, it is really hard to listen to. I really deserve a beating!

    ¡°King of Cross Steps (Silver):

    1. When the wearing player uses a cross-step change of direction to break through, the speed is temporarily +4, and starts at the fastest speed after gaining breakthrough space through a cross-step change of direction.

    2. After changing direction through the cross-step, if you take a mid-range shot within two seconds, you will get a temporary +2 for a mid-range shot. If you take a shot under the basket within three seconds, you will get a temporary +2 for a layup. If you shake your body through the cross-step and then directly shoot a three-pointer,  Three points temporary +2.

    Note: The new defensive effect of gold level: the prediction of change of direction breakthrough can only be upgraded through missions.  "

    "It's so beautiful, so beautiful"

    In the early morning of the next day, after entering the learning mode, Zhang Hao upgraded the king of cross steps to the silver level.

    Zhang Hao is worried that he is not used to the three-pointer level being less than the first-class level, so he has the conditions to strengthen a few points. Although after triggering the bonus, it is still a bit far behind the original top arc area of ??89, which is close to the top three-point rating. However, there is a way to add bonuses.  Better than nothing.

    Continue to review the game!

    In the past, when Zhang Hao reviewed the game, his attention was always focused on himself or his team, which was related to the stage he was in. Now most of his analysis focuses on his personal and Lakers play styles.  personalTargeted Raheem and beat the Grizzlies.

    After being abused, Rahim became even more excited, as if he felt respected

    Playing in a team that may face disbandment at any time, and being the young talent and pillar of this team, what Rahim has to bear is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

    ??The most accepted among them is that he was once a college genius who attracted much attention. After arriving in the NBA, he received a lot of attention in the first year, but no one cared who he was in the second year

    The Grizzlies have 9 wins and 25 losses. On the way to the last place, the Grizzlies still have a long way to go. The Nuggets have only won 4 games so far, and the Raptors, who are also in Canada, are about to collapse.

    ¡­¡­

    After playing the game against the Grizzlies, the Lakers' plane took off at 8 o'clock the next morning and returned to Los Angeles early.

    Two days off. There is no training scheduled today. Last night¡¯s opponent was the Grizzlies. There is no need to review the game. I will continue to study the problems encountered in the game with the Eagles and 76ers, two strong defensive teams.  Improve.

    But Zhang Hao didn't take any time off. When he got home, before his butt was even hot, he was taken to a restaurant by April Clark, Britney, and Little Loli. His teammates came, as well as some Hollywood celebrities and local people.  Celebrity, held a birthday party.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know about this, so San Niu had agreed on the surprise, and he happily participated.

    Yes, in front of so many people, if there is a sign next to Zhang Hao's face that says "I am very happy", others will be able to tell at a glance that he is happy but they can also see that he drinks a large glass of beer.  He was happy to get out.

    21 years old!  Drink openly!

    But he didn¡¯t drink too much. A big glass of beer was just for the sake of it. After that, he ate and drank. Hollywood celebrities and local celebrities who came here all asked him to take photos, and he didn¡¯t refuse. He gave Britney and April plenty.  Leigh Clark face.

    On birthday night, when they returned home, Zhang Hao and April Clark started discussing how life was born from around 9 o'clock, and until around 11 o'clock Early the next morning, Zhang Hao was full of energy in his bedroom, unpacking a package he received yesterday.  Pile of gifts.

    He doesn¡¯t care about the gifts from celebrities whom Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t know. Britney¡¯s face is not big enough to invite Hollywood A-list stars, and Zhang Hao didn¡¯t personally send out the invitation

    ???????? Mainly it depends on what your teammates give you.

    Kenny Anderson gave him a new laptop, which was very good. Zhang Hao was about to change his computer.

    Jason Williams is a baseball bat, and this guy loves to play baseball.

    Rick Fox is a sunglasses guy, this guy is a sunglasses collector

    With the sound of rustling and complaining while he was taking things apart, April Clark also woke up.

    "The tired April Clark looked at the energetic Zhang Hao and couldn't help but touch her thighs and waist I heard from others that men always hold up the waist, but when it comes to her, she holds up the waist

    Arriving at O¡¯Neal¡­ a Ferrari car key¡­

    "Damn it! Show off your wealth with me! Why are you giving me car keys? Give me a car!"

    Zhang Hao couldn't help but complain.

    April Clark was speechless when she heard Zhang Hao¡¯s words. She was picky about receiving gifts, but she seemed to only express her disdain for the gift from O¡¯Neal

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hao was eating breakfast when the doorbell rang, and the little Loli ran to open the door.

    "Lelin, please slow down, wait for me, you are the eldest lady, do you know? What should I do if I am kidnapped?" Britney quickly followed.

    Zhang Hao was speechless. The security of the villa area that Little Loli¡¯s father bought for her should be very good. Many of the security guards hired by the property management company were armed with guns.

    Although America is a liberal democracy, it should still be very safe here

    After a while, the young and old lolita exclaimed in unison from outside.

    "Who really dares to come here to abduct Lelin?"

    Zhang Hao hurriedly ran out Hearing the sound of the shutter that kept ringing.

    I saw a Ferrari sports car driving into the yard, followed by a group of reporters

    The car slowly drove to the door of the villa, and a middle-aged man got out. He came to Zhang Hao and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, this is your birthday gift from Mr. O'Neill. You should already have the key.  It¡¯s a spare key¡­¡±

    Before Zhang Hao could recover, the system prompt came

    "Special signing player Zhang Hao has turned 21 years old and is giving Shaquille O'Neal a birthday gift to show off his wealth. Special mission: I don't care if my teammates have money to trigger"

 Chapter 366 366. I don¡¯t care if my teammates have money (5000 words, please vote for me)

    After breakfast, Zhang Hao drove to the Time Warner training facility. There were many reporters taking photos outside the training facility.

    O¡¯Neal¡¯s birthday gift to Zhang Hao on his 21st birthday was a Ferrari priced at US$330,000. This news quickly dominated the headlines of major sports and entertainment news.

    Yesterday, Zhang Hao held a birthday party at a restaurant in Inglewood. It was already in the news. There were also several media headlines or news programs with video clips. However, the incident of O'Neal giving a car was even more special than Zhang Hao's birthday.  The influence of the party has become much greater.

    Ignoring the reporters waving their hands hoping that he would stop and be interviewed, Zhang Hao went straight into the parking lot.

    It happened that Kenny Anderson also arrived at the training hall at this time. He ran down and looked at the car before he parked it and said, "Oh, Akers, is this the car that Shaq gave you? It's so cool! He gave it to me on my birthday.  Will you also give me a car?¡±

    Zhang Hao responded: "When you turn 21, he will probably give it to you."

    ""

    Kenny Anderson is speechless, how many NBA players can celebrate their 21st birthday?

    Even if a few high school students have been selected in the past two years, the total number of people is probably one hand!

    ??Other players enter the NBA at the age of 21 or 22, and there are also some 23-25 ??years old.

    After being speechless for a moment, Kenny Anderson went to park the car.

    As the two walked towards the training ground, Kenny Anderson said: "I didn't expect Shaq to be so generous. I thought he wouldn't come because he didn't have a good relationship with you"

    GenerousZhang Hao feels that O'Neal just wants to make headlines and be in the limelight!

    Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson chatted and practiced three-pointers after arriving at the training ground. The key point is to get used to the new three-point line. When there was an old three-point line in the past, they could all get used to shooting one meter apart, but the original three-point line  The three-point line is gone. When playing games, I often habitually shoot with the force of the original three-point line.

    This is the reason why the entire team had many bad habits when No. 1 played against the Eagles.

    Rick Fox arrived not long after the two of them arrived. He was the first to arrive at the arena besides the two of them. He lost the starting lineup and he had to fight for it by himself.

    When it was close to 9 o'clock, the teammates arrived at the training hall one after another.

    What hurts Zhang Hao is that when every teammate arrives, they will ask about the car O'Neal gave

    O¡¯Neal was the last one to arrive. He went to a coffee shop near the training center very early today to wait, wearing a windbreaker and a hat and a mask and hiding in the window The owner of the coffee shop almost called the police because he looked too much like a terrorist.

    After all the cars of his teammates entered the training hall, he drove to the parking lot of the next block and entered the training hall, and was interviewed by reporters outside the training hall.

    O'Neal is the best player for the Lakers since the start of the season. He was the top favorite for MVP in the early part of the season. He also performed very well in the first game after entering the middle of the season. Although he did not score high, he was powerful and faced off against the super rookie of the 76ers.  He won't fall behindit's obvious that he wants to grab the boss position.

    Such a team character is generous and generous. He usually gives gifts to his teammates on holidays and birthdays. This time he gave Zhang Hao a Ferrari, which greatly improved his image in the eyes of his teammates.

    After the morning training, Zhang Hao also found O'Neal to thank him.

    O¡¯Neal said in a very arrogant tone: ¡°It¡¯s not an expensive gift, it¡¯s just a small gift. You don¡¯t need to go out of your way to thank me¡±

    Although the $330,000 bill was painful, it made headlines and his teammates kept praising him. O'Neal was very satisfied.

    The reason why we didn't deliver the car directly to the birthday party yesterday was mainly because there were too many people and there were many celebrities. Although there were no first-line celebrities, the gifts given at that time were definitely just one of the names mentioned, such as "O'Neal or even  "Sent a Ferrari", but today is different, it was delivered directly to Zhang Hao's home, and the media was also notified.

    Throughout the day, O'Neal stole the show on the team. At the end of the evening training, when he drove out of the Time Warner Training Center parking lot, he was surrounded by reporters again.

    He was a little puzzled. Didn¡¯t the reporters leave one after another at noon?  Why is it blocked again now?

    But since there is an interview, O'Neal will not be absent. He gets out of the car decisively and prepares to steal the limelight again.

    ?The reporters immediately surrounded him, setting up their long guns and short cannons.

    Just when O'Neal was ready to start showing off, the reporter's question confused him

    "Last year, your winning member of Aix Club customized 24 Ferraris. He personally designed the shape of the car. Ferrari's chief designer said that he liked Aix's design very much and invited Aix to serve as FerrariThe hook up further aroused the desire of teammates to win the championship. Winning the championship is not only the glory, but also a car!

    Not only the players, but also the team¡¯s coaching staff and the heads of various departments have cars!

    Now when the team is chatting, Zhang Hao¡¯s name is mentioned

    Zhang Hao¡¯s nuclear strike response, as well as the phrase ¡°I don¡¯t have the money anyway¡± that few NBA players could refute, left O¡¯Neal unable to fight back

    "No, I can't admit defeat! Comparing who has money is such a nouveau riche behavior, I have to think of other ways to steal the limelight"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Who is the team that has benefited the most from the revision of the three-point line?

    Not strong defensive teams like the 76ers, Heat, Hawks, and Cavaliers, nor Jordan's Bulls, who simply stopped shooting three-pointers and had little impact with two more points, but the Hornets and Pacers.  .

    Not to mention the Pacers, Glen Rice, Dell Curry, David Wesley, Bobby Fields, Clifford Robinsonwith Glen Rice and Dell Curry  The three-point team led by the Hornets is a team that really enjoys the extended distance between the three-point line in the top arc area and the difficulty of covering up after a double attack. In the last game, they made 10 of 20 three-pointers and won 108 to 89.  Miami Heat, shooting Pat Riley is about to explode.

    Glen Rice and Dell Curry were already one of the best three-point shooters in the league before the three-point line was shortened. Glen Rice averaged 39% from the field in the 1991-92 season.  In scoring two three-pointers, Dell Curry averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game with a 40.2% shooting rate in the 1993-94 season, the year before the three-point line was shortened.

    The starter is Glenn Rice and the substitute is Dell Curry. Under the leadership of these two people, coupled with several new shooting teammates who can maintain accurate shooting under the three-point line, the Hornets are the first team to achieve this in the true sense.  Expectation - A team whose top-arc three-pointer opens up the space and makes passing and cutting inside easier.

    On January 9th at 7 pm, the game between the Lakers and the Hornets started.

    With Glen Rice making 4 of 7 three-pointers in a single game, Dell Curry making 2 of 5, and the Hornets shooting 9 of 16 from three-point range, Clifford Robinson scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.  Triple-double data, plus Draymond Mason with 23 points, Glenn Rice with 21 points The Hornets steadily defeated the Lakers 112-103 and won 6 consecutive victories, including 1998.  All 4 games were victories by stabilizing the opponent!

    Zhang Hao scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks tonight, O'Neal scored 28 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, Kenny Anderson scored 18 points and 8 assists, and Doug Christie scored 14 pointsPerformance  It was already very good, but he was beaten by the Hornets.

    The Lakers also know that as the season continues and teams become more accustomed to the new three-point line, the Hornets will definitely be affected and cannot be as unstoppable as they are now. But unfortunately, the Lakers have encountered the worst situation at present.  During the hot period, the Hornets' three-game winning streak was ended and they suffered their fifth loss of the season. Their record became 29 wins and 5 losses.

    However, after losing to the Hornets, Zhang Hao also got a lot of reference templates

    The heat of Zhang Hao and O'Neal's display of wealth and comparison has not subsided, and it is estimated that it will continue for a few days, but neither of them is focusing on this matter anymore.

    It is impossible to say that Zhang Hao spent 10 million US dollars to show off his wealth, and O'Neal will spend 20 million to show off his wealth. He can see that Zhang Hao may even make a little money in the end by showing off his wealth

    And he just wanted to take advantage of Zhang Hao¡¯s birthday to have two days off to be in the limelight, and more importantly, to strive for a better record and win the mvp!

    In the middle 6 games of this month, they must not waste any of them. Whether they lose or win, they must make good adjustments and accumulate experience, because the next 7 games of this month are a devilish schedule, including the first in February.  Days of competition can be called a nightmare schedule.

    Although these 7 games are not compact, not even back-to-back, the opponents Jazz, Suns, SuperSonics, 3 consecutive away games, Heat, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, 3 consecutive home games, February 2nd and a half  The season ends with an away game against the Bulls. This is a nightmare schedule for 7 consecutive games!

    Counting the very toss-up game between the Eagles and the 76ers and the lost game against the Hornets, this month plus the first game in February, there are a total of 15 games, and 9 of the opponents are very strong.

    There are still 4 games left to adjust, all at home. You have to adjust well and play well in each game. You don¡¯t have time to do other things.

    The day after playing the Hornets, Zhang Hao analyzed the coaching class. The Lakers, from the coaching staff to the players, understood the tactical details of the Hornets' game more clearly.

    Hornets coach Dave Cowens was selected to the All-Star 7 times as a player, 4 All-Star starts, 1 MVP, and won two championships. His No. 18 jersey was retired by the Celtics He also did a lot as a coach.  Not bad. He played under Don Nelson for one year and was an assistant coach for seven years. He happened to experience the first-generation running and gunning of the Bucks and Warriors in the Nelson era, and he took great pleasure in accepting the three-point line.  .

    The power forward served from the free throw line. The Warriors had Chris Webber and the Bucks had Terry Kaminky. When Nelson was coaching, these two teams averaged 110+ points per game all year round, and even  There have been instances of scoring 115+.

    The Hornets are not so unrestrained and attach great importance to defense. After all, Dave Cowens was a Celtics player in the 1970s and focused on defense.

    Originally, with Bogues being traded away, Ricky Pierce retiring, and Glenn Rice declining from his average of 26.8 points per game last season, the Hornets have fallen out of the 50-win level. Now the three-point line has been extended, allowing  The Hornets are playing like they did last season again.

    Clifford Robinson and Anthony Mason Jr. have contributed a lot to this. In the past 4 games, Clifford Robinson averaged 4.5 assists per game, and Anthony Mason Jr. averaged 5.5 assists per game, the highest in the Hornets

    ¡­¡­

    After a day of preparation, on January 11, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Bucks at home.

    The Bucks traded away Vin Baker and rookie Danny Fordson last summer and are bringing back Terrell Brandon, Earvin Johnson, Te'lon Hill, and Almon Gilliam.  A powerful player, with Glenn Robinson often sidelined due to injury, the Bucks' record has soared. They have played 36 games so far, with 17 wins and 19 losses, maintaining the possibility of making the playoffs.

    Glenn Robinson has worked hard this year and has exhausted himself According to the gossip media, which is not so reliable but this time the report was believed by many people, a friend of Glenn Robinson revealed that it was because the Bucks did not  There will be players with higher salaries than him, so he plays a lot harder.

    It¡¯s such a weird reason, he doesn¡¯t want Wen-Baker¡¯s salary to be higher than his

    What does hard work look like?  In the past, he clocked out with 20 points per game, and now wants to clock out with 25 points per game. However, he is very talented, but if he doesn¡¯t work hard, the limit of his strength is just over 20 points per game. Now it is very difficult.  He works hard to score 25 points every day, but even if he works hard, he will only average 23 points per game, but his contribution to the Bucks' strength is still very high.

    The Bucks¡¯ second-best player currently is Ray Allen, averaging 19.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.5 steals per game, but he is very low-key, and there is really no media coverage about him.

    From this point, it shows why he will fall out with the Celtics in the future. He doesn't like teams that are extremely flamboyant. He only wants the SuperSonics to trade him to the Celtics for the sake of the championship.  Team.

    And that team with Garnett, Rondo, Pierce, and Perkins can be said to be as flamboyant as they want, and as arrogant as they want.

    How low-key is Ray Allen?

    Zhang Hao has not played against the Bucks. After playing for one season, there is no way to see his name in the news.

    The Bucks¡¯ third-best player Zhang Hao¡¯s old teammate, Almon Gilliam.

    ? ??Under the defense that improves the rotation speed, the Jazz's cooperation is as easy as picking it up!

    Compared with the Lakers' ever-changing cooperation, the Jazz's tacit understanding is greater than the tactical plan. The decision to pass the ball and move the route are all decisions made in an instant!

    However, the Lakers really did not fall behind!

    Zhang Hao launched an attack. Although he may not be able to make a shot, his offensive tactics were basically successful. As for whether he could not make a shot isn't this because of O'Neal!

    O¡¯Neal had no intention of playing singles from the beginning tonight, so he gave up directly and went all out to rush!

    Since we need to strengthen our defense, we must strengthen it to the end!  O'Neal just wants to force the opponent to go to the basket.

    It¡¯s just that every time they play against a strong defensive team, the Lakers¡¯ veteran players can¡¯t help but miss George Lynch

 Chapter 368 368. Iron-blooded Stone Buddha!  (6K please monthly ticket!)

    The Lakers' tactics around Zhang Hao are very good, and they can always create opportunities on the offensive end. Whether the opportunity is good or not, and whether the shot is successful or not, depends on the defense and the personal ability of the shooting point.

    O'Neal played very hard tonight. In the first quarter, he responded to two shots and once in isolation. However, he grabbed three offensive rebounds in a single quarter, making 3 of 5 shots. There was also an offensive rebound that resulted in a foul and 1 of 2 free throws.  , scored 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in a single quarter, which supported the lower limit of the Lakers' strength.

    Zhang Hao came back from the official timeout and hit two consecutive two-pointers from behind the baseline, which also gave the Lakers a slight advantage.

    Kenny Anderson imitated Iverson's style of play tonight, sliding down the baseline to focus on mid-range and receiving the ball. His regular performance was actually pretty good. The Silver Foxes are constantly adjusting their wing shooters.

    This is the advantage of the Lakers, with diversified tactics. The Jazz played against the Lakers for the first time after the Lakers made major adjustments to their tactical structure. Apart from strengthening confrontation and actively shrinking, there is no other way, and the defensive effect is not considered  How great.

    But the Lakers strengthened their defensive defense, and the defensive effect on the Jazz was equally bad!

    "Whether it's Rick Fox or Brent Barry, they are not bad at defense. The former has good skills and the latter has good physical fitness.

    But there is always something missing - that energy!

    When the Lakers were locked in defense last season, George Lynch's ferocity played a big role. Even if he switched defense to Malone, he dared to confront Malone. When confronting outside players, he was truly rough and brutal.  fierce.

    Theoretically, Rick Fox's defensive characteristics are similar to Pippen's. He should be good at guarding against Malone, but his physical fitness is much worse than Pippen's. After the last match, Malone has adapted to Rick Fox's  On defense, when faced with Rick Fox switching defenses, he can easily deal with it. Brent Barry has enough physical fitness, but his skills are far inferior to Rick Fox.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OUTSIDE

    After the first quarter, although the Lakers took the initiative with O'Neal and Zhang Hao scoring 15 points and 3 assists, their lead was very small, ending the first quarter with a two-point lead of 28 to 26.

    ¡­¡­

    Adjustment has been adjusted for nearly three weeks in advance, and the actual adjustment of the past three weeks, the offensive performance is very good. Silver Fox is very satisfied with the offensive performance of its own team.

    But defense

    When playing against the 76ers, the defense looked pretty good, but when playing against a real championship-level team like the Jazz, the deficiencies on the defensive end were still exposed.

    The Silver Fox also regretted it. He had talked with the logo man a few days ago. If he had known that the extension of the three-point line would improve hand-to-hand defense so much, he would have gritted his teeth and renewed his contract with George Lynch.

    Many coaches can see that the extension of the three-point line for a long time is beneficial to the offense. Just like in the 1980s and early 1990s, the league's offense went crazy.

    However, maybe next season or the next season, the pitchers will be able to adapt again. At least in this current season, the improvement of defensive teams will definitely be greater than that of offensive teams.

    George Lynch seems to be just a defensive role player, but this kind of player is very important when playing defense, such as the future Tony Allen of the Grizzlies, Bruce Bowen of the Spurs, and Sean of the Heat.  - Battier and the Pistons' double Wallace seem to play like role players, but their defensive characteristics basically become the defensive characteristics of the entire team.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are also stars who have the ability to determine the team¡¯s defensive temperament while possessing offensive leadership, such as Michael Jordan, Gary Payton But the Silver Fox looked at their own team and there is no such player!

    O¡¯Neal¡¯s defense is definitely very good. Doug Christie and Rick Fox are also very good defensive players. Zhang Hao¡¯s defensive performance is not bad now.

    In terms of defensive driving ability and commanding ability, these four people also have their own areas of expertise.

    ? But not that type of player.

    Such players are hard to come by, and if they are lost, they are really lost.

    Sometimes it seems that a certain player is a relatively unimportant piece of the puzzle, but only when he loses it does he realize how important that piece of the puzzle is.

    The Silver Fox has a bit of a headache. In the current game, the Jazz are not disappointed. They played well on the offensive end.

    It¡¯s just that the Jazz are too stable. When they rely on offense to play on par with the Jazz, once the Lakers¡¯ offense fluctuates, it means that the Lakers will be at a disadvantage.

    But who can say clearly about attacking?

    In case of a three-point shooting from the wing or Zhang Hao's high mid-range shot, KennyBe that leader when you come.

    Ben Wallace is just an ordinary undrafted second-year player who can only provide an attitude.

    Zhang Hao plays hard both offensively and defensively, fighting against each other regardless of offense or defense. This is the reason why the Lakers team has become more manic.

    However, this is not the reason why the Lakers widened the point difference. No matter how hard they work and how hard they play, the Lakers' lineup is still not as strong as the Jazz. As long as the Jazz play steadily, the Lakers have no chance.

    Sloan thinks so.

    However, Greg Foster, in these two rounds, when he cut to catch the ball and attacked, he should have thrown to avoid being blocked. Moreover, Malone squeezed into the basket at that time, and Malone could not make the throw.  Tip-up, but he chose to dunk, giving Zhang Hao, who was unable to defend, a chance to block the shot.

    ??This time in defense, you can completely give up your position. You can't guard it at all. Just let Zhang Hao lay up. You have to press up when it's impossible, and finally commit a foul

    It seemed that Zhang Hao's two roars made him angry, but he didn't mess around, he just fought more actively.

    But for some players, they don¡¯t need to be overly active.

    It is a good thing to be strong and active. If you are not strong enough, just do what you should do.

    This is the team philosophy of the Jazz, and their stability is also related to this

    On the other side, Silver Fox looked at Zhang Hao who came back from the timeout. He always felt that he was coming for his tactical board

    During the break, he listened to Zhang Hao and made substitutions. Silver Fox was angry.

    As a resulthe can really lead the team like George Lynch!

 Chapter 369 369. A step forward, a critical turning point (4500 words, please vote for me)

    Unlike George Lynch, George Lynch has the same style of play and temperament. He is the kind of confrontational defensive arrow that the coach can use rationally. He is the one who leads his teammates in hand-to-hand defense.

    Zhang Hao is not known for his defense. On the contrary, until the All-Star Weekend last season, his defense had been criticized.

    But he has strong leadership skills

    No matter how he feels, his active and rough defense can also drive his teammates.

    As long as teammates have the idea of ??"I want the same thing", they will be amplified by "Gui Xin" and driven by Zhang Hao!

    ¡°From the perspective of his teammates, his own coach, and his opponents this is his leadership ability.

    Silver Fox started to think rationally again - this damn kid is pretty good at defense, he has enough speed, and his basic defensive skills are gradually becoming more and more solid. He will not be held back by guarding small forwards. He has a strong learning ability, and he has enough conditions to imitate George Lynch.  ¡­

    On the other side, Sloan replaced Brian Russell and Ostertag. He didn't want to replace these two people so early. They only played for more than 3 minutes in the second quarter, but there was no way. If not now,  To stabilize the situation, even if there is a way to deal with the opponent's main lineup later, what's the use?  I can barely hold on during the rotation stage.

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers made no substitutions, and the Jazz replaced a combination of Stockton, Shanton Anderson, Brian Russell, Malone, and Ostertag.

    The defensive leaders of the Jazz are Brian Russell, a defensive player who was praised by Jordan, and Ostertag, who is rooted in the basket and may be the best pure rim protector in the league today.

    After the timeout, after adjusting the timeout, Zhang Hao also scored an extra penalty. 37 to 31, the Lakers extended their lead to 6 points.

    The two teams began a fierce hand-to-hand confrontation. The Jazz replaced Brian Russell and Ostertag. The defense underwent a qualitative change and the Lakers fell into a disadvantage.

    Silver Fox didn¡¯t rush to rotate, he just held on.

    It is not that easy for the Jazz to reduce the score.

    Zhang Hao played more aggressively and roughly on the defensive end, and became unrestrained on the offensive end.

    At 5 minutes and 22 seconds, Zhang Hao stepped inside the free throw line and received the ball with his back to the basket. Taking advantage of his height advantage, he turned around and made a looping close-range throw. The ball bounced off the backboard and fell into the frame.  , after the Jazz played a 4-0 wave, they returned a goal and once again opened the point difference to 4 points.

    At 6 minutes and 55 seconds, the Lakers' lead was only 1 point, leading 42 to 41, and was beaten 10 to 5.

    Fisher caught the ball and hit the three-pointer with a little too much force. Zhang Hao jumped up from the crowd with his arms raised, clicked the ball in the air, and made a tip-in!

    When the Jazz called another timeout and entered the official timeout, the Lakers still maintained a 3-point lead!  44 to 41 lead!

    Although the Lakers did not do well defensively during this period and their outside shots were inaccurate due to confrontation, Zhang Hao scored 4 points, helping the Lakers score 7 points during this period, delaying the Jazz's lead!

    In 6 minutes and 55 seconds, Zhang Hao scored 13 points!

    Among these 13 points, 6 points were obtained through the second attack.

    When the Jazz's focus on rebounding was on Ben Wallace, who had a putback dunk at the beginning of the second quarter, and Jason Williams, who was among the best in the league in offensive rebounding, Zhang Hao used a very different play style from his usual.  France, when the official timeout of the second quarter was reached, his personal score increased to 21 points!

    Not only did he use the inside to contain the ball, but his style of rebounding was different from usual. Zhang Hao's style of play at the beginning of the second quarter was very different from usual.

    It was Zhang Hao who suggested that the Silver Fox switch to this lineup during the break. The Silver Fox was a little unhappy, but was still ready to give it a try. The goal was not to widen the point difference, or even to maintain the lead, but to really consume it.  Jazz shot.

    The result was surprising!

    In addition to the good effects of the confrontation on the defensive end, Zhang Hao also played well on the offensive end. Zhang Hao made good use of the larger space inside the three-point line.

    Speed, height and wingspan, soft touch, golf intelligencethe most important thing is the decisiveness to try when the opportunity comes, regardless of whether it is a good opportunity or not.

    This kind of decisiveness is not decisive in the conventional sense

    Although the Jazz scored 10 points in the next three minutes or so, it was Sloan's timely replacement of Brian Russell and Ostertag that offset the depletion of outside pitchers' feel at this stage.

    And the Jazz replaced Ostertag early Here's O'Neal's chance!

    After the official timeout, the Lakers sent out Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Brent?I discovered that he might be able to play like this. This is an opportunity he can seize when the distance between the three-point line in the top arc area is extended and the space inside the three-point line becomes larger. In terms of his personal skills, he already has the conditions to adjust his playing style in this way.

    "It's just that he wanted to take his time. When playing the Hornets and 76ers, the team was not prepared enough for adjustments. When it came to the next four relatively weaker opponents, it was not necessary.

    This time against the Jazz, when he had a slight advantage in the first quarter but no decisive advantage, he was heartbroken

    As a result, he played the kind of unrestrained offense he wanted!

    A three-pointer at the start, a long two-pointer from the high post, two in the first quarter and one in the second quarter, with the rushing threats of Ben Wallace and Jason Williamsa variety of conditions,  In the second quarter, he scored 15 points, 2 blocks and 1 steal in a single quarter!

    If you don¡¯t take that step, I really don¡¯t know what the outcome will be.

    When the three-point line was extended, he took this as an opportunity and took this step decisively. The effect was very good, and he also found a defensive method that might be more suitable.

    On the defensive end, waiting for the basic skills to gradually become solid and gradually improve is one way, but now, he feels that this kind of rough defense may be more suitable for him.

    Zhang Hao believes that this game may be a key turning point at this stage of his career!

 Chapter 370 370. The strongest Haochui in history is online!  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    On the morning of the 21st, the Lakers came to Phoenix.

    On the way from the airport to the hotel, Zhang Hao saw Anfernee Hardaway billboards several times.

    The addition of Anfernee Hardaway, Antonio McDyess and others has made the Suns a team with hope of competing for the championship.

    After arriving at the hotel, after lunch, at 1 p.m., Zhang Hao analyzed last night¡¯s game against the Jazz in a team meeting.

    He consciously focused on analyzing the improvement effect of his changes in playing style on the team. He did not emphasize anything, but continued to adopt a subtle approach.

    Teammates didn't notice this before, and they don't realize it now either. Many players don't realize it too much. People like Brent Barry, Jason Williams, Ben Wallace, etc. follow the coaching staff's instructions and tactics.  Just do what the core tells you to do.

    ¡°But the Lakers have many people with coaching talent, as well as many players with high golf IQ and good tactical understanding.

    Brian Shaw, Rick Fox, Doug Christie, Kenny Anderson, O'Neal and even Fisher, after last night's game, already understood Zhang Hao's true intentions.

    Most people who understand Zhang Hao¡¯s true intentions don¡¯t think there is any problem, because overall, Zhang Hao is indeed helping the team adapt to the new competition environment faster.

    But most of these teammates who know Zhang Hao¡¯s true intentions are very worried about one person.

    After the tactical meeting, Kenny Anderson, Boggs, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, and Brian Shaw, the five core tactical players or veterans with a say, gathered together and decided to do something.

    ¡­¡­

    As the saying goes, people who love to be funny and always make others laugh are quiet, lonely and sad people in private.

    O¡¯Neal felt very lonely, and felt that he was a quiet and beautiful man in private, so he loved reading in private to enrich himself.

    Then, he became sad. He told others that he liked reading, but no one believed him!

    When he first arrived in Los Angeles in August of the year before last, he applied for a master's degree in economics and management at the University of Phoenix in Arizona, and was admitted. Last summer, he applied for a master's degree in education at Stanford University, and was admitted.

    But when he told it, others thought he was joking!

    At that moment, he believed it - comedy masters were all sad and handsome men in private.

    But reading is good. O'Neal is worried now. He doesn't like trouble, so when he is worried, he either reads books or writes songs to diss others.

    There was a knock on the door, and O'Neal stood up and opened the door. It was Brian Shaw.

    "Hey, Brian, what, you want to ask me out? Have you discovered a new nightclub in Phoenix? Oh, this is not possible, I have to play Penny tomorrow, I have to have a good rest."

    "Uh, no, tomorrow's game is very important, and we don't even plan to go out to play today."

    Live broadcast across the United States, no one on the Lakers wants to see themselves perform poorly.

    O¡¯Neal nodded, put away his funny thoughts, and welcomed Brian Xiao into the room.

    "Shaq, I want to talk to you about the team's tactical changes."

    O¡¯Neill nodded, he had already guessed it just now.

    Brian Shaw knew that O'Neal was a smart man and continued: "I think you must have seen that when Akers led the team to adapt to the new game environment, he deliberately strengthened his performance. I analyzed it  , in fact, the change in tactics is good for him, and it is also good for you"

    "I know, I understand," O'Neal interrupted Brian Shaw, "I will not refuse to cooperate just because he wants to strengthen his tactical position. The change in his playing style is beneficial to the team. I have also seen it.  The opportunity that belongs to me during the tactical change is fair competition. He did not create any trouble for me. I will work hard to seize my opportunity. You don¡¯t have to worry about me

    You No, it's you. You should be worried about yourselves, including Kenny. The tactical adjustments Akers guided us to strengthen his and my performance, and your opportunities will be compressed even less.  "

    At this time, he did not forget to blackmail Zhang Hao. Brian Xiao smiled helplessly and responded: "We are role players, and it is our duty to serve the strongest twin towers in history"

    Phoenix is ??a very interesting city, very special in the entire United States.

    Most government officials in other cities are reluctant to engage in infrastructure construction, because it often happens that half of the infrastructure construction is completed, the government changes, and the end is unfinished, which wastes a lot of money. Over time, the federal parliament, state parliament, and city hallThis player's strongest season in the 3j era was not at the top level, that is, his ability evaluation was less than 90

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Brent Barry, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, and O'Neal.

    The Suns sent out a starting lineup of Kidd, George McLeod, Anfernee Hardaway, Antonio McDyess, and Holt Williams.

    O¡¯Neal and Antonio McDyess came to the center circle to jump the ball.

    Antonio McDyess is very unhappy now. He found that Zhang Hao didn¡¯t even look at him this time when he played against him!  You know, last season, every time he played against Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao's eyes were on him the most!

    Although, he was abused every time. When he was abused, he hoped that Zhang Hao would stop paying attention to him, but now that he has lost this attention, Antonio McDyess feels lost and unhappy.

    The other party no longer regards him as an opponent!

    And Antonio McDyess stared at Zhang Hao, O'Neal was unhappy

    At 6:30 in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. O'Neal took off with all his strength and beat Antonio McDyess to win the jump ball. The Lakers' fast break began!

    The Suns retreated very actively, but failed to stop

    O'Neal went crazy and knocked away Holt-Williams who was trying to intercept in the mid-range and rushed inside. Zhang Hao cut in from the right side of the three-second zone to receive the ball and quickly distributed the ball. O'Neal received the ball in the middle and took a step forward to face the loss.  Antonio Daniels, who worked hard to retreat to the basket after the jump ball, took off, pressed Antonio Daniels and smashed the ball into the basket!

    The most cruel thing about this ball is that O'Neal did not go around the sideline to contain or find an easier opportunity to break in. Instead, he ran forward directly, received the ball at close range, and allowed Antonio Daniels to stand firm and defend.  Then he took off and dunked!

    The fans at the scene watched O'Neal's dunk, and they were all worried about whether the basket frame could withstand it. In 1993, the rookie O'Neal once dunked down the basket frame at their home court!

    After landing, O'Neal glared at Antonio McDyess fiercely, turned around, took two dominant steps, and high-fived Kenny Anderson before retreating.

    Antonio Daniels is confused, why is O'Neal targeting him?

    "FRemy Martin actually changed people to deal with me! As for that!"

    "Akers passed the ball really beautifully, and Shaq did it too. Why did you dribble the ball? Just dunk it!"

    "Look at Akers' improvement on the defensive end. His tackle tempted Kidd to cut inside, and O'Neal blocked Kidd's throw."

    "Look, Akers' lateral movement and lob, O'Neal can turn around and put the basket directly, thanks to Akers"

    Seeing Barkley standing on the commentary table, salivating, Bobby Jones didn't know how to answer the question.

    Barkley was so shameless that he didn¡¯t even have the eyes to hear it!

    Zhang Hao was out of position, O'Neal filled in the loophole and blocked the shot, and Barkley called him Zhang Hao to tempt Kidd to cut in

    The entire Lakers team worked hard. Zhang Hao led the Lakers to play more intense defense. Yes, he also seized the opportunity to score when O'Neal was double-teamed on the offensive end, but Brent Barry, Doug  The defensive end is most important when Christie and O'Neal wipe the butts of Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson on the defensive end. Kenny Anderson's ball distribution, O'Neal's containment and setter on the offensive end are no more important than Zhang Hao's.  Difference.

    When it comes to Barkley¡¯s mouth, Zhang Hao is awesome anyway

    On the court, the Lakers took the initiative at the beginning. The Suns were not very lucky. Their three-point king George McLeod missed the first two three-pointers. In turn, O'Neal dunked one at the beginning and Zhang Hao connected from the left side of the free throw line.  The shot was made, and Doug Christie scored two points from the baseline. The Lakers started with a 6-0 start.

    But the Suns were not beaten to death. Anfernee Hardaway made a strong attack and quickly broke through to the basket and hit a layup. With such speed, rhythm and timing, O'Neal could only watch and reach out.  There is a high probability of fouling, and he knows best how strong Anfernee Hardaway is.

    The Suns began to use Anfernee Hardaway's strong attack to stabilize the situation. Anfernee Hardaway, who was playing well, scored 5 points in a row before the official timeout, leading the score to 16 to 14. The Suns entered with a two-point lead.  Rest between sessions.

    After the official timeout came back, Zhang Hao first turned around and hit a step-back jumper. Then the Lakers started a pressing defense. The ball got into the hands of Kidd, who was open. Zhang Hao actively pounced on him, but Kidd passed him. Kidd entered the paint.  The throw was blocked by O'Neal. Looking back, Zhang Hao ran through the middle of the three-second zone and received the ball from Rick Fox, who came on the bench. Then he passed the second pass to O'Neal who was stuck in position and made a layup.

    Immediately after the Suns' backup forward Denise Scott, who averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game in the 1995-96 season and tied for the three-point leader with George McLeod, hit a three-pointer. O'Neal swatted the ball towards Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao counterattacked.  The ball was passed to Doug Christie and he hit the mid-range shot from the wing.

    After this 6-0 wave, the Lakers regained the initiative with 20-16.

    The Suns were also unlucky. They finally managed to get along well in the first two months. They posted a 12-5 record and got back on track after a difficult start of 7-7. They also saw the Timberwolves lose to their leader Gugliotta.  The season was over, and with the opportunity to break into the top four, who would have imagined that the league suddenly extended the three-point line distance in the top arc area. In the first 9 games this month, they only achieved a record of 5 wins and 4 losses, and were occupied by the Trail Blazers.  Seizing the opportunity, the Trail Blazers rushed to fourth.

    After all, it is a newly formed team, and the lineup is not deep enough. The Suns basically rotate eight people, and the ball-holding core is okay. Kidd averages 8.3 assists per game, Kevin Johnson averages 5.9 assists per game, and Anfernee Hardaway  With an average of 4.7 assists per game, the playing time of the three of them can be controlled very well. The three-man rotation inside is barely enough, but it is quite difficult for the two major pitchers, and the Suns' current style of play is extremely dependent on the containment of the two major pitchers.

    Naturally, you don¡¯t have to worry so much when playing against weak teams. With Antonio Daniels inside and Anfernee Hardaway and Kidd outside, you can beat them as you like. But after entering January, they are the same as the Lakers. Most of their opponents are strong.  Against the enemy, Denis Scott and George McLeod's shooting is sometimes inconsistent. They were already top shooters before the three-point line was shortened, and they are now capable of shooting from the three-point line in the top arc area.  , as long as you find the feeling, it will be very accurate, but if you can't find the feeling, it will be very awkward, and because during training, in order to find the shooting feeling in the top arc area, it also affects the wing shooting

    The Lakers took the lead and gradually widened the gap. A few rounds later, the Lakers attacked again. O'Neal came to the left side of the three-second zone to receive the ball and put on a breakthrough posture, which gave people the feeling of being high.  , want to wave.

    Suddenly, O'Neal played the ball. Zhang Hao ran to the top of the arc, turned around and cut back. After receiving the ball, he jumped against the defense of Antonio McDyess who quickly retracted, and hit a backhand layup with a lever.

    Nearly 4 minutes later, the Suns were beaten 12-2 by the Lakers!

    Zhang Hao scored 8 points and 1 assist, O'Neal had 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. The game lasted until 9 minutes and 52 seconds. At nearly 10 minutes, the Lakers led 26 to 18.A handprint was placed on the ball, two forces were exerted on the ball, and the ball popped up!

    Zhang Hao pounced his head and came to the bottom line, then quickly changed his head and rushed towards the bottom line!

    Mark Bryant lost his balance and fell to the ground. The shocked Anfernee Hardaway recovered and rushed to grab the ball, but was blocked by Zhang Haoyuan's thicker body.

    Mark Bryant fell, Zhang Hao stood still, got up and received the ball first, turned around and immediately passed the ball. Kenny Anderson, who had just ran across the center line, received the ball. With 7 seconds left, he quickly started a fast break and gained a foothold.  Not stable.

    Kenny Anderson rushed towards the opponent's three-point line at full speed. Kidd made up for it, but he was not on guard. Kenny Anderson easily passed Kidd and broke into the paint. Fortunately, the Suns' overall defense was good. Kenny -  Anderson was blocked in the middle distance on the right side.

    Anfernee Hardaway, who was running back quickly, rushed to the basket to defend Brent Barry, but Kenny Anderson attracted a double attack and the target of the pass was not Brent Barry, but a return pass!

    Zhang Hao accelerated across the center line and then slowed down. He received the ball on the left side of the top arc and with 1.9 seconds left, he took advantage of the trend and shot a three-pointer

    In 15 seconds, the Suns could easily chase the point difference to 4 points, but Anfernee Hardaway was as wild as Zhang Hao and also missed

    Zhang Hao¡¯s push shot made a three-pointer!  55 to 46, the Lakers led the Suns by 9 points at the end of the first half!

 Chapter 372 372. Not even given a chance!  (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    Zhang Hao went too far in two rounds, but Kidd seized the opportunity to instigate a counterattack, get in shape, and drive the rhythm. The Suns once narrowed the point difference to two points.

    However, even if the Lakers' lead has been reduced, they are still leading, so although the Lakers once fell into depression, it was only at that time. Even if there is no climax next, as long as the situation is stabilized and not overtaken, there will be no big problem.

    The Suns were different. They were lagging behind and managed to narrow the difference to two points. However, Zhang Hao's steal killed them before they even started.

    Forget it, we were able to narrow the point difference to 4 points at the last moment. If we were 4 points behind at halftime, even though we failed to regain the situation and were not in the lead, the disadvantage would become very small.

    However, Anfernee Hardaway made a splash, and all the Suns' efforts in the second half of the second quarter were in vain.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After half a quarter of the game, good guy, we only narrowed the point difference by 1 point.

    After playing a wave of 12 to 4, he was beaten to a wave of 9 to 2 by the opponent.

    The Lakers have the conditions to give Zhang Haolang, but when the Suns face the Lakers, they have no conditions to give Anfernee Hardaway!

    Anfernee Hardaway feels that the most incredible thing is not Zhang Hao's ability to seize opportunities, but that Zhang Hao created opportunities to counterattack without a chance!

    It can be said that I was lucky when I intercepted Kidd. My subconscious judgment was correct. Kidd's pass was risky, but it is generally difficult for defensive players to detect it, let alone steal it.

    It is almost impossible to block the alley-oop between him and Mark Bryant this time. Even Patrick Ewing, who is known as the strongest baseline defensive ability in NBA history, could not do it this time.

    But Zhang Hao did it!

    "Bottom line ruler (gold)" triggers!  Speed ??+3, bullet speed +3. When Zhang Hao rushed to try to interfere regardless of others, he did it. He turned around and calmly slowed down to follow up and made a chasing three-pointer at the buzzer.  point!

    The ups and downs of life are so exciting. The Suns were just about to reach that point, but they let it slip in the middle. It felt so crazy.

    ??And the Lakers players and coachesare not much better.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but the Lakers players have a vague feeling that this situation will become the norm. There is obviously no sign of it, but seeing the game played when Zhang Hao led the team

    t.n.t Over there, the Lakers led by 10 points. Zhang Hao came on the field and was beaten 12 to 4. Barkley tried his best to excuse Zhang Hao during that period. He really used up all the excuses he could use.  Vocabulary, Bobby Jones started the dark lake and the dark day again, and finally got the chance to speak. During that time, Barkley was extremely aggrieved

    Just when Barkley wanted to have fun, angrily left the table and returned to the commentary desk for a living, Zhang Hao started

    In the first half of the quarter, Barkley had 7 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. He held back three minutes of game time. In the last two minutes or so, he suddenly became energetic and began to spit again. When Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer at the buzzer after blocking the shot,  Barkley literally jumped onto the commentary table!

    "Look, this is the real stone Buddha! The real gentleman! The real Ritian!

    Aix will never be on a leash!  "

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao on the court didn't know yet that his old teammates were starting to hate him crazily, but it was difficult to have any impact on the current game. Even if the Suns players heard Barkley's words, it wouldn't have much impact.  effect.

    If the three-point line was not adjusted, the Suns seemed likely to hit 60 wins when they were 19 wins and 12 losses. At that time, they had just played a record of 12 wins and 5 losses, and they had played after 7 wins and 7 losses.  A wave of 12 wins and 5 losses, looking better and better.

    But after the adjustment of the three-point line, the Suns were greatly affected, and suddenly fell to the ordinary 50-win level.

    Although the lineup of Kidd, Anfernee Hardaway, Antonio McDyess, and Kevin Johnson was formed, and two great pitchers were introduced, the complement of role players was still quite weak.  Cut off most of Kevin Johnson's play options

    The current Suns are like the Pistons before Ratliff was traded for Stackhouse. They have strong strength and better talent, but they still have a long way to go.

    The management's operational ability and coaching ability will determine whether the Suns can really transform the three young talents they currently have into championship strength.

    In the third quarter, O'Neal came back on the court, looking like he was going to eat Antonio McDyess alive. Not only Antonio McDyess himself, but the rest of the Suns and even the Lakers players didn't know why O'Neal was staring at him.Arrive.

    This makes them even more desperate than if they really seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack and then were beaten back!

    They don¡¯t even have a chance!

    Less than halfway through the final quarter, Suns coach Danny Ainge called a timeout and surrendered.

    A new team, during its own period of pain, encountered the team with the best record in the league, Danny Ainge recognized it.

    Danny Ainge has worked very hard to create obstacles for the Lakers. For example, during the offseason, the Lakers wanted to sign Mark Bryant. The market price of Mark Bryant was US$1 million to US$1.5 million.  Danny Ainge suggested that the Suns management grab it for US$2.25 million. At that time, the Suns had already acquired Anfernee Hardaway in a trade. With the dream of competing for a championship, he agreed and raised the price decisively, cutting off an opportunity for the Lakers.  aid selection.

    Danny Ainge has his sights set on the future

    Zhang Hao brushed up data for a while in the first half of the fourth quarter, but before he could finish it, the opponent surrendered and had no choice but to give up.

    Fortunately, through the rebounds of Jason Williams and Ben Wallace, who have a better sense of rebounding, they finally grabbed 8 rebounds before being replaced, plus 8 assists, which was better than Kidd.  The combined value of tonight's 10 rebounds and 5 assists is one higher!

    Played 9 minutes and 52 seconds in the first quarter, 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Played 5 minutes and 33 seconds in the second quarter, 7 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Played the full third quarter, 6 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 assists.  Steal, played 4 minutes and 25 seconds in the final quarter, and scored 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists Zhang Hao played for nearly 32 minutes and scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. At the end of the game, the score was 94 to 94  70.

    In the end, the Lakers defeated the Suns 107-90, winning 6 consecutive victories and improving their record to 35 wins and 5 losses!

    Kidd's face was full of unwillingness, and Antonio McDyess, who was beaten so badly by O'Neal tonight, looked desperate. The two major pitchers were as helpless as in the past 9 games, and Kevin Johnson was powerless Anfernee Hada  Wei is still the same. When he has a chance to fight, he works hard, but loses. He accepts the result

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt.

    ¡°Star Reacher:

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to make one post-up turnaround jumper in each quarter.  (fail)

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to get at least 22 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in this game.  (The best season when Anfernee Hardaway partnered with Shaquille O'Neal was the 1995-1996 season, averaging 21.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game).  (completed.)

    Target 1 fails, and the host gets the target 2 reward: 38 days of life.

    Because one of the goals has been completed, the task of transforming Anfernee Hardaway into a medal has not been completed and is waiting for the triggering opportunity.  "

    "Ghost:

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao must make less than 3 turnovers in the game and cannot be intercepted by Jason Kidd.  (Number of mistakes: 2 times, completed.)

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to complete at least two steals against Jason Kidd.  (completed)

    Goal 3: Zhang Hao¡¯s total rebound + assist value must be higher than Jason Kidd.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the 10-day lifespan reward. The exclusive mission for future superstar Jason Kidd is about to begin.  "

    The Star Reacher failed to complete this task. He failed to do it in the second quarter. He almost didn't get that block. There were not many opportunities to block tonight. If it hadn't been for that one-two-defense counterattack that blocked An  Finney Hardaway and Mark Bryant's alley-oops couldn't even complete the guaranteed goal of 2.

    What makes him feel fortunate is that he completed one of the goals, the mission was not ended, and he still has the opportunity to get the medal for Anfernee Hardaway's back-up turnaround jumper.

    Thinking of Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s dancing and gorgeous back-up skills.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know why he thought of the No. 3 beauty show in Chicago

 Chapter 373 373. The feeling of success taking off (6000 words, please vote for me)

    On the morning of January 23, the Lakers arrived in Seattle.

    "Akers, look, the news said that the league was afraid that you really wouldn't come to Seattle to play games last year, so all our games with the Sonics were scheduled for this year."

    On the bus from the airport to the hotel, Jason Williams sat next to Zhang Hao with a newspaper.

    Zhang Hao glanced at it and was speechless. It was too much of a coincidence to say it was a coincidence.

    The news also said that Zhang always likes to tell the truth.

    Jason Williams continued to complain: "Akers, you tell me why you are so hated. Reporters in Seattle are also criticizing you. It's all your fault. We are hated wherever we go."

    "There is no way. We want to win the championship. We can only beat them when we meet them in the playoffs. And even if they don't meet us, they can't beat the Bulls and the Jazz. We can send them home to rest early. How good.  There¡¯s no salary in the playoffs.¡±

    ""

    No matter how many years they have known each other, Jason Williams and Zhang Hao will still have the urge to hit each other when chatting.

    As we chatted, we arrived at the hotel, and Zhang Hao escaped from the team bus at light speed.

    Watching Zhang Hao disappear like lightning, Jason Williams found that he seemed to have forgotten something. He remembered that he seemed to want to find a topic to talk about first, and then do something What on earth was it?

    ¡­¡­

    The impact on strong teams in January was higher than the Lakers expected.

    When they met the Hawks, Hornets, 76ers, and Jazz, they played four consecutive games against weak opponents. Because the opponents were much worse than them, whether the adjustments were effective for them, the Lakers had no idea.  It felt too big, so everyone from the coaching staff to the players made a wrong judgment - other teams adjusted quickly.

    Since the Lakers faced several teams and had a difficult time and lost to the Hornets, the comments from the media and experts also deepened the thoughts of the Lakers coaches and players.

    By winning easily against the Suns, the Lakers learned that the Suns are what most teams should be like.

    For example, the Sonics, which had a record of 24 wins and 8 losses in the first two game months, now has a record of 30 wins and 12 losses, and has recorded a record of 6 wins and 4 losses in the past period.

    The aspect that has been most affected by the Sonics is still three-pointers. Originally, they averaged 9.1 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league, and even ranked first in the entire NBA history. Their three-point shooting rate of 42.6% also ranked first in the league.  second this season.

    Gary Payton once averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game with a 37% shooting rate in the early season. He really practiced three-pointers last summer.

    But like most ball-holding guards in the league today, his shots are concentrated in the top arc area, similar to Kevin Johnson.

    In the past 10 games, Payton still averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game, but his shooting rate was 26.7% and the number of shots was getting less and less.

    Payton has a very good ability to adjust and adapt. It can be seen that he has already mastered the three-pointer, and there is still the possibility of improvement in the future. Unlike Jordan, he has taken 14 three-pointers in the past 10 games and made 14 three-pointers.  3, and gave up immediately. You must know that Jordan averaged 3.2 three-pointers per game in the first 32 games, hitting 1.4 times, with a shooting rate of 42.7%. The number of three-pointers taken now is similar to the number of previous hits.

    But at least at this stage, Payton has been greatly affected. His playing style needs to be adjusted, and the Sonics' entire offense must also be adjusted accordingly.

    At 7 pm on the 24th, the Lakers¡¯ away game against the SuperSonics started.

    Payton and Vin Baker are at their peak, and Mrs. Ratley has moved on. So far this season, she has averaged 6.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game, surpassing Mutombo to top the list of blocks. Jose Hawkins and Schrempf both  The veteran has continued his excellent form from last season, and the starting lineup is extremely strong.

    For the substitute lineup, they paid $3.5 million over two years to dig out veteran Dale Ellis, who averaged 16.6 points per game with the Nuggets last season. So far, he has averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game with a 48.2% three-point shooting rate.  points, averaging 12.4 points in 23.2 minutes per game.

    Recruited Jerome Corsi from the Lakers and successfully renewed the contract of Aaron Williams.

    A one-year, $270,000 basic salary contract brought a high-quality starting point guard from the Grizzlies who has averaged 12 points and 6 assists per game in the past two years.

    ?? 1-year $3.37 million retained 3D swingman Sam Perkins, plus the giant center McIlvaye who was signed with a huge sum of money

    This lineup is extremely luxurious and extremely deep.

    If the Lakers meet the SuperSonics in the first two months of the game, it¡¯s hard to say who will lose and who will win. Maybe the Lakers have an advantage in their 17-game winning streak at the beginning, but by mid-to-late December, they may be in a slight disadvantage.  .

    &nbsp?The relationship between Mourning and Tim Hardaway is okay, but on the court, the two teams have also accumulated some grievances in the past two years, especially the last time they met, Tim Hardaway went berserk in the last quarter and had a near-win.  Zhang Hao made a counter-attack.

    This is a pure grudge on the court, very simple, and the game is the best solution.

    After a round of exchanges with Tim Hardaway, Zhang Hao returned to his bench and listened to the Silver Fox make the final arrangements before the game.

    Under his guidance, the coaching staff adjusted tactics in the direction he wanted, but the specific use must be decided by Silver Fox.

    In this regard, he still has to learn from the Silver Fox. A head coach who has been coaching in American universities and NBA for more than 20 years has a lot of information, so he can learn from it.

    The pre-match preparation time is over and the two teams start the game.

    The Heat sent out a starting lineup of Tim Hardaway, Voshan Leonard, Dan Marley, P.J. Brown, and Mourning.

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and O'Neal.

    Tonight, the Lakers put Bogues on the inactive list and activated Sean Lukes.

    Zhang Hao walked onto the court and played small forward tonight. It was good, but he was a little regretful when he saw Mashburn on the opposite bench wearing a suit.

    Mashburn was injured again. Since being reimbursed for his junior season, it seems that the root of the disease has fallen into place, and his knees have been constantly attacked by injuries.

    This super genius who was able to score 50 points in a single game against Pippen in his second year, everyone thought he would become the next superstar. In his third year, he suffered a broken knee and tibia, and no one thought he was going to die.  The injury is similar to what Jordan suffered in his sophomore year, just fix it.

    But who would have imagined that it hasn¡¯t been smoothed out yet, and the injuries surrounding that knee have never been broken.

    Zhang Hao saw the news not long ago that Mashburn, who was 25 years old and entering the prime period of his career, completed a two-year contract extension with the Heat for US$10.62 million.

    The timing of Pat Riley's contract extension was also very subtle. It happened to be that Mashburn went to negotiate the contract extension during his injury break

    The game was about to start. O'Neal and Mourning came to the center circle and prepared to jump the ball.

    Zhang Hao was ready for a fast attack, and suddenly, the system prompt came!

    "The inside combination of special contract players Zhang Hao and Shaquille O'Neal is called the strongest offensive twin towers, and the inside combination of P.J. Brown and Alonzo Mourning is called the strongest defensive twin towers. Zhang Hao wants to let the world know  , what he and Shaquille O'Neal have is not just defense, but the strongest The fifth phase of the series of tasks: The Wind Rises: Inside Ruler triggers"

    "No, when did I think so? I am a small forward tonight! Small! Not big!"

    After waiting for more than 4 hours to get the report, there was no infection. Only then did they see a doctor. It was like a joke to go to the emergency room together. They waited for more than 4 hours before seeing a doctor. The fever was gone and I was drunk.  , you still need to pay for nucleic acid at your own expense, it is more expensive than taking medicine

 Chapter 374 374.X Factor Book

    ¡°The Inside Ruler: Mission Series is the fifth phase of the mission.

    Goal 1: In this game, the total rebounds + blocks of Zhang Hao and Shaquille O'Neal must be higher than that of PJ Brown and Alonzo Mourning.

    Reward: five times longer lifespan.

    Note: Completing goal 1 will open subsequent goals.  "

    Zhang Hao always feels that it is more troublesome to rely on others for tasks because it is uncontrollable. Unlike teamwork to win the game, this kind of scoring data with others is probably similar to Kobe's need to score 90 points with his teammates.

    Fortunately, Zhang's teammate is O'Neal, and Kobe's teammate is Death Parker. Kobe needs to score 80 points to score 90 points with Death Parker. He must be much better.

    In comparison, he prefers to compare statistics with a certain opponent's star alone.

    However, if you want to rebound and block shots, it will definitely be easier to cooperate with O'Neal.

    But it¡¯s still out of control

    Put away your distracting thoughts and concentrate, the referee came on the field with the ball.

    The Heat have currently played 43 games, with 31 wins and 12 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. After defeating the Jazz, they tied with the 76ers. The Pacers, currently 32 wins and 11 losses, still maintain the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The three teams  The competition for first place in the Eastern Conference is fierce, and behind them there is the Bulls who have a record of 10 wins and 3 losses after entering January.

    The Bulls are currently on a 7-game winning streak, with a record of 30 wins and 13 losses. The Pacers, 76ers, and Heat have been in the top three in the Eastern Conference for half a season. Now it seems that there may be a team  They will be overthrown by the Bulls, who came from behind. The three teams now dare not lose even one more game.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the game began. At the same time, during the live broadcast of Time Warner Cable Sports, a certain retired Lakers player No. 34 who did not want to be named started his blowing game again.  trip.

    When the Lakers played the Suns, his god-level commentary had already caused a heated discussion, but there wasn¡¯t a lot of hatred for Zhang Haola. Now, it¡¯s starting again

    For the time being, it has not had any impact on the Lakers or Zhang Hao. It just lets the fans know that he is also so charming on the commentary stage.

    On the court, this time, O'Neal defeated Mourning in the jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first!

    The Heat retreated quickly. Mourning and P.J. Brown retreated to collect the basket and close range, blocking Zhang Hao and O'Neal. The wings Voshan Leonard and Dan Marley blocked the three-pointer at an angle below 45 degrees.  The defense was very purposeful.

    However, Zhang Hao¡¯s receiving position was one step inside the top arc!

    Tim Hardaway, who was waiting for Kenny Anderson to run over, rushed forward, trying to prevent Zhang Hao from picking up the ball. PJ Brown also expanded after helping Mourning block O'Neal's cut.

    When Tim Hardaway pounced, Zhang Hao easily avoided the ball with a crotch dribble, and then pushed the ball forward.

    Tim Hardaway, who was out of position, saw Zhang Hao dribbling the ball under his crotch and pushing the ball out. The ball happened to pass under the crotch of P.J. Brown who was stretching his left leg forward.

    ?????????This ball control connection, is it really a center?

    Tim Hardaway and PJ Brown quickly gathered around, but PJ Brown was held up by Zhang Hao¡¯s raised arm, and Tim Hardaway was completely ignored

    The confrontation between the two failed to affect Zhang Hao's start!

    "The King of Cross Steps (Silver) is triggered. The wearing player Zhang Hao's breakthrough speed +4 after changing direction this time, and starts at the fastest speed"

    Tim Hardaway and PJ Brown both used their body's muscle reaction to complete the encirclement. When their brains reacted, Zhang Hao had already rushed to the free throw line to receive the ball!

    Mourning, who was a certain distance inside, really reacted and quickly pressed forward. Zhang Hao grabbed the ball in one step inside the free throw line and threw it towards the basket a throw?

    "Bang"

    With a cry from the basket, O'Neal scored two points with an alley-oop dunk!

    The Heat felt very weird. Zhang Hao's skills seemed to be the same as before, such as changing directions, breakthroughs, and passing. Zhang Hao has these abilities, but when he played the first ball, they felt that they seemed to have changed.  !

    If you want to describe it in one sentence, that is - it¡¯s exciting!

    To be precise - unrestrained!

    There was no time for the Heat players to appreciate the difference between Zhang Hao's playing style and the previous one. The Heat attacked and Tim Hardaway advanced to the frontcourt. When he encountered Zhang Hao's defense, he did not go for a singles as he said at the beginning, but instead  The ball was passed to Dan Marley.

    As the saying goes, when the east is not bright, the west is bright. This is the case for the Heat this year. Mashburn missed more games this year, but Dan Marley got rid of the shadow of injuries. In the 18 games when Mashburn was injured, he averagedWhat kind of.  "

    Barkley was unhappy: "Who can be better than you in terms of despicability? You can't win by yourself, so you go to substitute for Parish and become a champion with Bird."

    ¡°I was already a champion before I went to Celtic!¡±

    "Winning the championship with Maurice Lucas? I still feel sorry for Morris. He should have been his FMVP. Poor Morris, he worked so hard to lead the team in the regular season, but in the playoffs someone secretly  Grab fmvp."

    "You also went to the Lakers to hug your thigh! Didn't you also want to grab FMVP last year?"

    "Yes, you are right."

    ""

    Bill Walton felt angina pectoris and felt that his stammering was about to relapse out of anger.

    Hubie Brown was just watching the show and fanning the flames

    On the court, Zhang Hao made some adjustments, and the referee was urging him to throw the ball out at the 11th secondhit!

    The Heat complained about the 10-second violation to no avail, so they had to endure it.

    As Tim Hardaway advanced to the frontcourt and missed a three-pointer, at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 29-19 by 10 points!

    Zhang Hao scored 6 points in the last 30 seconds, scoring 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in a single quarter!

 Chapter 375 375. When, one foot steps into the sewer (6500 words, please vote for me)

    Believe in your teammates, there will always be rewards!

    After the Heat called a timeout to strengthen defense for the first time, Zhang Hao made a decisive decision. The offensive end was purely used as a containment point. If there was an opportunity, he would rush to grab the ball. If there was no opportunity, he would leave the offense to his teammates.

    The energy saved is used on the defensive end. Once nature is released, it cannot be taken back.

    And what Zhang Hao liberated this time is exactly what the Lakers lost and needed most on the defensive end after the three-point line was extended.

    Although Zhang Hao's defensive strength is not as good as George Lynch, he can drive the Lakers' defense as long as he plays like George Lynch. Moreover, he is also improving, and because he has a clear direction, he has such a clear direction.  The speed of improvement when I first learned defense from James Worthy.

    In 7 minutes, O'Neal scored 4 points, Kenny Anderson scored 2 points, and Rick Fox, who came on the rotation, was pulled to the top arc and was left open, and he actually scored a three-pointer. During this period, Zhang Hao only took over the blame twice.  None of his shots went in, but he still relied on a cut to catch the ball, resulting in a foul and one of two free throws to score 1 point.

    ???????????????????? But during this period, the teammates held on to the score tightly, giving Zhang some time to slowly wait for the opportunity. Finally, in the last 30 seconds of the first quarter, the score difference was widened in one fell swoop.

    The Heat's defense can easily make opponents irritated. Other Lakers players are getting a little irritable. Maybe they will start to use body movements to vent their irritability as Pat Riley expects.  You can use this to create conflicts when the situation arises. It is best to take down one of the opponent's main players, such as O'Neal and Kenny Anderson.

    But Zhang Hao opened the point difference to 10 points in one fell swoop. The Lakers players' emotions stabilized and they became more confident - they have Zhang Hao!

    ¡­¡­

    After the break, the Lakers replaced Fisher, Brent Barry, Rick Fox, Jason Williams, and O'Neal.

    The Heat replaced the combination of Tim Hardaway, Voshan Leonard, Todd Daye, Terry Mills, and Duane Causwell.

    Duane Causwell, a product of the fat effect, averaged 2.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game last season. He should have left the NBA. Even if he got a contract, it would only be a contract like Ben Wallace, but he was competed by many teams.  In the end, the Heat signed him for $4.2 million over three years. Because of O'Neal, this big center with nothing but a height of 213 centimeters and a weight of 120 kilograms earned millions of dollars more for nothing.

    There is one thing about Duane Causwell that is very good - he likes to complain, and his words have a certain provocative power.

    After playing, Duane Causwell loudly said that the Lakers were lucky to lead by 10 points.

    Not only to make the Lakers players unhappy, but also to gain confidence in their own team.

    Did you make that three-pointer by luck?  Is the last steal also a matter of luck?  Yes, the Lakers players also admit that they are indeed lucky, but their gentlemanly luck is good!

    ??????????????????? Zhang Hao is not on the court, so saying these things has no influence on the players on the court at all, but makes O'Neal feel noisy

    As time goes by, Rick Fox has gradually adapted to his new role. He works hard, adjusts his playing style well, and does a good job of providing support near the free throw line.

    With this lineup, the Lakers are definitely not as strong as the starting lineup, but the Heat are also not as good. In the first quarter, because O'Neal and Mourning were attriting each other under the basket, Tim Hardaway and Dan Marley were needed on the outside with the Lakers.  Against Biao on the outside, Dan Marley played the entire first quarter. Normally, Dan Marley is on the bench. Tonight they did not have Mashburn.

    Now Tim Hardaway and O'Neal are playing against each otherTim Hardaway is okay when he is soaring, just like when he played against the Sonics a while ago, he scored 41 points against Payton, but tonight he is not good!  Without Mourning and PJ Brown inside to restrict O'Neal, O'Neal played like a walking beast!

    O'Neal is also improving, not in terms of singles intensity. This requires gaining weight and getting used to it. It refers to the adjustment of the timing of exerting force. This time against the Heat, when Zhang Hao saved his energy on the offensive end in the first quarter,  The same goes for O'Neal. Because Zhang Hao rushes hard for offensive rebounds, O'Neal saves a lot of energy in this area.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off????

    At the beginning of the second quarter, O'Neal made a strong dunk from behind and a hook shot from the front. It was almost impossible to solve. Then he made a high-flying shot to attract Fisher, who was flanked and passed to the baseline. Fisher made a throw.

    Tim Hardaway worked very hard to score 4 points during this period. However, they were the first to attack in the second quarter. Instead of narrowing the point difference, they actually widened the point difference.

    With Rick Fox using O'Neal's threat to fake a sudden mid-range breakthrough,Zhang Hao scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. O'Neal played 30 minutes and made 9 of 14 free throws. In addition to 6 of 12 free throws, he scored 24 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

    Although Garnett scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Marbury scored 25 points and 4 assists, the two of them jointly scored more points than Zhang Hao and O'Neal, but without Gugliotta's leadership, they both  The strength of the team led by one person is really not good.

    It seems that Gugliotta is the one with the least talent. The two are only in their second and third grade, and their strength is already close to catching up with Gugliotta.

    But the alpha wolf is the alpha wolf. Without the alpha wolf, the Timberwolves feel like they are in disarray.

    In the end, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 112-101, no surprise, and won 9 consecutive victories!

    ¡­¡­

    The Timberwolves were easily defeated by the Lakers. This was expected. After Gugliotta was injured, the Timberwolves' defeat was scarier than everyone expected, but after a long time, they got used to it.

    There are rumors that Gugliotta wants to renew his contract for six years and US$60 million. This request has been positively evaluated by the media and experts because it is obvious that Gugliotta is currently the soul of the Timberwolves.  The two geniuses still need him to play with them.

    Since Garnett was given 128 million for six years, it is reasonable to give Gugliotta half of his salary.

    People¡¯s attention is still on the Lakers and the Bulls.

    Jordan has played so far in the regular season this season, which feels incredible!

    Without Pippen, Jordan really got used to it, especially after the three-point line specifications changed, Jordan played better.

    Originally, people thought that Jordan's performance would decline after his three-pointers in the top arc area were cut off. After his comeback, there was an obvious change compared to before his comeback. That is, he could rely on the shortened three-point line in the top arc area to shoot pretty good shots.  Three points level.

    But the fact is that after the three-point line was extended, Jordan adjusted in two or three games. He stopped shooting three-pointers, scored higher at the basket, and shot higher

    Then, while other teams were still adjusting, he had already led the team to third place in the Eastern Conference!

    It¡¯s the last day of January, and the Lakers and Bulls have games.

    Both teams have won 9 consecutive games, the Lakers have 38 wins and 5 losses, and the Bulls have 32 wins and 13 losses. The Lakers are facing a challenge from the Trail Blazers at home, and the Bulls are facing a challenge from the Suns at home.

    The mid-season opening of this year is very interesting for major betting companies. Will the Lakers continue their winning streak, the Bulls continue their winning streak, or both teams will continue their winning streak? The mid-season battle between the two strongest teams will begin on February 2.  The ultimate battle?

    Last month, no one expected that before the All-Star weekend, the strongest teams in the East and West would still be the Lakers and Bulls

    Let¡¯s talk about two things. For the Lakers, after a day of rest, at 6:10 in the evening on the 31st, the Lakers players entered the court and ushered in the last opponent in January, the Trail Blazers

    "Are you sure you can be selected?"

    "right."

    "I."

    ""

    Kenny Anderson was speechless. He was certain and certain that the little brother must have understood his question and was teasing him on purpose.

    As the boss, Kenny Anderson will never let his younger brother¡¯s petty ideas succeed and endure it.

    Three minutes later, looking at Zhang Hao who was minding his own business making pre-game adjustments, Kenny Anderson was defeated and said: "I mean can I be selected for the All-Stars?"

    "able."

    "I average 17 points and 6 assists per game, can that be done"

    "Our record is so good, two All-Stars are definitely not enough."

    "The Bulls' record in the past two years was similar to ours, with only two All-Stars. I was selected to the All-Stars last year because of your retirement."

    "That's because Rodman is so unpleasant. If someone else leads the rebounding list for 6 consecutive years, he will definitely be selected as an All-Star every year"

    Yesterday, on the 30th, voting for the New York All-Star Weekend ended. According to media reports, the league is counting the votes. Tomorrow at noon, the league will announce the All-Star starting lineup during a national live broadcast on American cable TV. Tomorrow afternoon, the head coaches of each team  There will be a vote to select the All-Star substitute lineup. Each head coach needs to select 7 players from the East and West, 1 center, 2 forwards, 2 guards, and 2 free players. They cannot select players from their own team.

    Not only Kenny Anderson is worried, but O'Neal is worried that he will not be selected as the starter.

    After all, David Robinson has played for so many more years and is extremely popular. In the second round of voting, O'Neal led David Robinson by less than 100,000 votes.

    The rest of the Lakers don't have this worry, because they only have three players at the All-Star level.

    On the other hand, the Trail Blazers have no worries in this regard. As far as the current situation in the Western Conference is concerned, although the Trail Blazers are temporarily ranked fourth in the Western Conference, basically no one of them has the possibility of being selected for the All-Stars.

    They are strong but average.

    Isaiah Leder, the team¡¯s scoring leader, averaged 18.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He performed well offensively and was quite average defensively.

    Nash, the team¡¯s assist leader, averaged 11.9 points and 7.7 assists per game.

    Sabonis, averaging 15.6 points, 11 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks per game, is the Trail Blazers' strongest player.

    Rasheed Wallace, who averaged 29 minutes per game, scored 14.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.9 blocks. He was very strong on both offense and defense, but his playing time was not guaranteed.

    There is also Brian Grant on the bench who averages 12 points and 9 rebounds per game and is competing for the best sixth man.

    The Trail Blazers' involution is quite serious, and the internal environment is very bad. No, Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson were chatting and looked across the way. Steve Nash was poking Rasheed Walai seriously with his finger.  The scholar said something, but the poor Tianzun succumbed to the power of the evil thugs, cowering and not daring to resist.

    The game against the Trail Blazers is about to begin, and the two teams are making final adjustments before the game.

    At 6:28 in the evening, a camera appeared next to the Lakers bench, and the lights dimmed.

    The fans at the scene were ready. As Shi Fo opened his eyes angrily and roared, the scene burst into overwhelming cheers. The two teams started playing!

    Rasheed Wallace came to the center circle and wanted to yell back at Zhang Hao who came to the other side of the center line, but he turned his head and looked at Nash who was staring at him.

    Tianzun dared not speak out when he was angry, so he could only endure it silently.

    "Wolf's Roar (Silver) is triggered, and the players participating in this game have high morale. They are invincible."

    Zhang Hao looked at Rasheed Wallace's facial features and felt a little bit regretful, but Tianzun actually held back!

    Nash, the thug in a suit, has good leadership skills!

    ??Also, this expression is so scary, doesn¡¯t the referee want to give it a shot?

    ¡°A closer look revealed that although the referee was bald, he was not white, but a black man which was even more regrettable.

    At 6:30 in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air, and the game began!

    O'Neal jumped up hard and narrowly defeated Rasheed Wallace with a half-middle finger advantage. The Lakers attacked first!

    Until now, the best way more teams have thought of is to beat the Lakers in a jump ball. There are a few teams that have the conditions, such as height, wingspan, jumping and other comprehensive conditions to not lose to Duncan and Garnett.  Rasheed Wallace is capable, but these people are still slightly at a disadvantage in jumping balls when facing O'Neal, who has not yet gained weight.

    Zhang Hao went to the free throw line and received a pass from Kenny Anderson, attracting?¡¯s dunk was slapped down!

    Fisher grabbed the ball, quickly counterattacked, went straight to the opponent's basket, flexibly avoided the chasing Rasheed Wallace's defense and hit a layup.

    At this time, the little fish was fast and flexible, and bounced very well. The fans at the scene gave encouraging cheers to this little pull rod.

    Although Isaiah Ryder was in pain, he still rushed to Cato immediately, fearing that Cato would be crazy again. Even he, a thorn in his side, was afraid that Cato would cause trouble during the game against the Lakers.

    But this time Cato was really confused

    He remembered that it was emphasized in the tactical meeting that Zhang Hao's bottom line defense felt like peak Ewing

    Rookies are always arrogant. Which rookie has not been the best player in their respective universities, their respective cities, even a state in the United States, and even a country unexpectedly in the United States?

    Cato also wanted to rise to the top, so when playing against the Lakers, Zhang Hao, a new-generation superstar who frightened his teammates, issued a challenge and wanted to become famous in one battle.

    But the result

    The Trail Blazers continued to attack, and Cato came to the baseline to maintain the threat of rushing. He watched Zhang Hao follow Rasheed Wallace, focusing on guarding Rasheed Wallace and covering up Isaiah Leder. At this moment,  Only then did he realize that the other party might just find his provocation interesting

 Chapter 377 377. The last opponent (6000 words, please vote for me)

    The least important point on the opponent's offensive end can actually be exploited.

    Not everyone has the strong psychological quality of Ben Wallace.

    Ben-Wallace was undrafted in the draft, tried out here and there, and almost went to play for the Continental Basketball Association, a team affiliated with the Bullets of the CBA. His rookie season was about to begin before he was offered a partially guaranteed contract by the Lakers, and he still relied on his boss.  The contract obtained through facial recognition.

    Therefore, even if he performs poorly in the game, is criticized by fans and ridiculed by the media, Ben Wallace will still work hard and will not do anything he shouldn't do.

    ??And Ben Wallace will not be discouraged and will keep persevering no matter what.

    Ben Wallace himself doesn¡¯t know this, but this is the reason why the Lakers gave him a guaranteed contract when he was in his second year. Otherwise, even if they wanted to sell Zhang Hao face, they would have given him a partially guaranteed contract at most, so that  Possible layoffs before March.

    But Cato is different. As the 15th pick in the first round, Cato became a millionaire when he entered the NBA. He received a salary of US$3.45 million in three years and an annual salary of US$1 million in his rookie year. He was ambitious - Stockton  , Malone, Dale Davis, Dan Marley, Reggie Miller These people were all selected in the middle of the first round. They seized the opportunity to become superstars. He just doesn't have the chance now. If he succeeds,  He thinks he will also be a future superstar.

    When he finally mustered up the courage to challenge the strongest player of the new generation, he ended up being played by the opponent his mentality collapsed.

    On the field, he is just a little better than Ben Wallace. Among the ten players on the field, he is second to last

    On the court, even players like Ben Wallace and Jason Williams who have no independent offensive ability or shooting ability have things they should do on the offensive end and must do because they are incapable.  Things - rush and containment and wing pick-and-rolls when there is someone under the basket but is left open, otherwise teammates will be 4-on-5.

    Cato was knocked down and then hit a blood cap. This time the offense was distracted. He stood on the baseline and cut in when he should. After Ben Wallace left, he failed to go to the wing to pick and roll. In the end, Rasheed Hua  Rice's free throw line met Ben Wallace's defensive free throw line and he missed a straight-arm jump shot. Zhang Hao collected the defensive rebound!

    The Lakers had no chance for a fast break. Cato finally reacted after Rasheed Wallace hit the iron. His physical fitness was still very strong and he retreated quickly.

    Zhang Hao passed the ball to Fisher to advance. After reaching the frontcourt, he had to return the ball and continue to attack from the top arc.

    Originally, Zhang Hao was planning to fight slowly, delay, and wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came from the beginning. When the opportunity came to him, he chose to seize it immediately.

    He had never done anything like calling the opponent's center by name, because he couldn't call the center by name all the time. No, he continued to find Ben Wallace in the pick-and-roll. As a result, Alvin Williams came out and Cato switched inside.  From Ke Fox, Zhang Hao passed the ball to Rick Fox, who broke through. Cato's footsteps were really good, and his confidence did not come out of thin air. As a 23-year-old mature rookie who graduated from college and entered the NBA, he went to a team  For ordinary playoff teams, before their athletic ability declines, being the main center is not a big problem. In a quasi-top team like the Trail Blazers, they also have stable opportunities to play. At 211 cm and 116 kg, they have athletic ability, speed, and strength.  A coolie-type insider.

    Rick Fox rushed to the inside and had no chance to shoot, but this was exactly what he wanted. When he reached the inside, he threw the ball directly in front of the basket. Cato had good defensive awareness and immediately sensed something was wrong. He turned around and looked  , the big Lakers logo came into view, and I quickly pressed on itit was too late!

    Zhang Hao and Cato fought against each other and forced the ball into the basket!

    "Bang", the sound of the dunk was clear and sweet. Zhang Hao's jump from take-off to confrontation to smashing the ball into the basket to landing was clean and neat, with no unnecessary movements at all.

    Although there is no task trigger, it is always interesting to abuse food.

    I didn¡¯t care about Cato¡¯s dejected look, he chose his own path

    Zhang Hao turned around and walked up, shaking arms with Ben Wallace at the free throw line to celebrate.

    At this moment, Rasheed Wallace wanted to join in the x-arm-swinging celebration. For some reason, he just came up with this idea - my defense is much better than that little man, and my offense is completely incomparable to him.  , I¡¯m also better at pick-and-rolls, and I¡¯m about the same height as Akers, so my arm-bumping celebration with Akers will look even better!

    With the same surname as Wallace, Rasheed Wallace¡¯s thoughts at this moment There is no room for two Wallaces in the same mountain!

    59 to 56, the Lakers lead by 3 points.

    When the Trail Blazers attack, Rasheed Wallace takes the initiative to ask for the ball, and this time he wants to do it himself.

    Zhang Hao defended very hardand then was shaken away by Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed Wallace broke through from close range and met Ben Wallace's high lift?Chasing the big hat.

    At this time, Bulls general manager Jerry Krause was praised

    Pippen missed 15 games for half the season, which affected the Spurs' pursuit of the top four. The Timberwolves even fell behind. The Spurs failed to seize the opportunity and were suppressed by the Trail Blazers and Suns. This was a fight with Pippen.  There is definitely a direct relationship with your health status.

    Although the media and fans cannot guarantee that Pippen will continue to play with the Bulls, after all, Pippen was at his peak last year and was fully present for the first time in four years.

    But that¡¯s what happened, Pippen began to be troubled by injuries, and McGrady¡¯s talent became more and more dazzling.

    McGrady and Anfernee Hardaway played against each other for the first time. In direct comparison, McGrady is definitely far behind in terms of strength. He is not a player of the same level at all. However, in terms of physical condition, McGrady looks even better than Anfernee Hardaway!

    Looking at the data and games, Tracy McGrady is also a good player

    When the Lakers and Bulls won 10 consecutive victories at the same time, the 2nd of next month will be the day after tomorrow, and the attention on the match between the two teams will be so high that it will explode!

 Chapter 378 378. Counterattack!  (6500 words, please vote for me!)

    O¡¯Neal was very sad and anxious. When he got up in the morning, he weighed himself and found that he was only 295 pounds, which is 134 kilograms. He had lost two kilograms in the past two days!

    Looking at the white clouds outside the window, O'Neill felt that it was great to be a white cloud, without any worries It is also possible that the clouds meeting another electrode will turn into thunderstorms

    "Uh it's not good to read too much. Why did you think of this"

    O'Neal became even more sad, feeling that he was perfect and invincible.

    A new month has arrived. On the morning of February 1st, the Lakers set off from Los Angeles to Chicago.

    On the plane, O'Neal rarely played cards with Rick Fox, Brian Shaw, Brent Barry and others, but sat by the window and watched the white clouds.

    I wanted to find someone to talk to, but most of my teammates couldn't understand where he was worried, and they all thought he was extremely optimistic Although he was really optimistic, at this time he just wanted to be pretentious.

    Hey, there it is!

    O'Neal came to the front row, sat next to Zhang Hao, and asked directly: "Akers, do you think there is any problem with the fact that I was selected as the All-Star starter?"

    It is said that O'Neal is so quiet today, Zhang Hao thought that his uncle was coming. He glanced at O'Neal and said: "No problem, you just need to ensure health, there will be everything."

    Zhang Hao remembers that in the original time and space, the Lakers were first in the league in the early part of the 97-98 season. The three true All-Stars, O'Neal, Eddie Jones, and Van Exel, were shining brightly, and the bench lineup also included the best sixth man.  Kobe Bryant, who received the second vote, averaged 15.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

    In fact, if there were not three All-Stars in the starting lineup, Kobe would have been the strongest player in the league on the bench that year. The Lakers were so strong in the early season.

    But O'Neal only missed two games before the All-Star break, and 22 games after the All-Star break. The Lakers' record collapsed, and they ended up with "only" 61 wins. When O'Neal was absent, the Lakers were 12 wins and 10 losses. With O'Neal, at least they can  Win five or six more games.

    Now Zhang Hao is worried about O'Neal's health. Since the 1994-95 season when he raised his weight from the 125+kg level to the 130+kg level, O'Neal's feet have often been injured.

    healthy?  Yes, this is important!  O'Neal feels the same way.

    Last season, I was injured at the beginning, and I couldn¡¯t catch up with many honors after my comeback. But I have played 41 games this year, so I have to ensure my health.

    O¡¯Neal had to admit that Zhang Hao¡¯s calm way of speaking made it easy for his teammates to find confidence and direction.

    With just one word, he was told to calm down.

    How to do this

    ¡­¡­

    Arriving at the hotel in Chicago, Silver Fox arranged a team meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon to prepare Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao had already prepared this kind of thing before going out in the morning.

    Now the team will send the video to him as soon as the game is over. He can review the learning mode, look at the video to find key points in the morning, and prepare lessons He is already very skilled in the operation.

    He, Zhang, has taken over the entire work of the Lakers coaching staff.

    When Zhang Hao followed the team from Los Angeles International Airport to Chicago in the morning, April Clark had already left for New York at the same time. After playing the game against the Bulls, Zhang Hao would go directly there.

    Although the All-Star starter was only announced at noon, he was the top vote-getter in the Western Conference before, so he is very confident.

    After resting for an hour and reorganizing the things to be analyzed in the afternoon team meeting, at 11:50, Kenny Anderson knocked on his door.

    Following Kenny Anderson to O'Neal's room, O'Neal once again started to refresh the web page 10 minutes in advance, holding the laptop in his hand like a handheld computer, constantly refreshing.

    A live program from the American Cable TV Sports Channel is being played on the TV. In the program, the host is introducing players who may be selected as All-Star starters, competitive positions, etc.

    All the Lakers players gathered in O'Neal's room. His teammates must be very interested in this kind of thing.

    Soon, the time reached 11:55, and NBA Vice President Stu Jackson appeared on the TV screen and began to announce the awards.

    The first is January¡¯s Best of the Month Awards.

    Michael Jordan was unanimously elected Player of the Month for January.

    There is no suspense about this. The Bulls played 16 games in January and had 13 wins and 3 losses. Jordan averaged 31.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1 block per game. He shot 48.2% from the field and scored 49 points in a single game, the highest in the league in a single month.  Second, second only to Tracy Murray's 50 points in a single game, his performance was so good that he was elected Player of the Month for two consecutive months.

    &nbsn.t Sports announced that it will sign a contract with Barkley until the end of this season. Since Barkley has to return to the University of Southern California to continue his studies, he will be paid according to the commentary games and will mainly be responsible for commentating on Lakers or Bulls games.

    Recently, Barkley has been scolded by Jordan fans, but he is also regarded as a male god by Lakers fans

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Barkley praised Zhang Hao, and the one who stepped down the most was Jordan

    ??A commentator has a special news report?

    Yes, Barkley has such treatment. According to media reports, T.N.T¡¯s salary to Barkley starting from this month will reach US$1.4 million by the end of the NBA season.

    Calculating according to the progress of the season I don¡¯t know why, the Spurs¡¯ Scottie Pippen, who has a salary of US$2.78 million this season, was mentioned again.

    Soon, at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, the Mavericks played the Hornets away and the Knicks played the Heat away, kicking off the last game day of the first half of the season.

    In these two games, the Knicks' away game against the Heat was broadcast live by Time Warner Cable Sports.

    The Hornets slaughtered the Mavericks by more than 30 points 125-93, and the Mavericks continued their journey to compete for Olowokandi with satisfaction.

    When the Knicks played the Heat, people originally thought the Heat would win, but they didn¡¯t expect the Knicks to win!

    Tim Hardaway scored 33 points and Mourning scored 29 points. Both of them scored 62 points. The Heat scored 82 points. The Knicks relied on Alan Houston's 28 points, Larry Johnson's 18 points, and Charles O.  Klee's 10 points, Childs' 17 points and 5 assists, and Chris Mills' 10 points. Five people scored in double figures and defeated the Heat 90-82 away from home.

    In a game that was originally overlooked, Alan Houston suddenly made people notice the existence of his second-best mid-range player this season.

    Immediately afterwards, at 4:30 pm Eastern time, the Suns played the Pistons away game.

    The Pistons are also collapsing hard enough, currently 19 wins and 28 losses.

    Before the start of the season, due to the acquisition of Jerry Stackhouse, the No. 3 overall pick in the 1995 class, people thought that the Pistons finally got the second scoring point that they had been coveting last season, and that they would play better, and they also  Signed Bibby Dele.

    Even when the Pacers had not yet shown their strength and the Bulls' prospects were unclear, the Pistons were regarded as the strongest team in the Eastern Conference except for the Heat and Knicks.

    Bibby Dele averaged 15 points and 7.6 rebounds per game in the 1995-96 season. Last season, he failed to join the Bulls. Last summer, he joined the Pistons for $15 million in three years, giving the Pistons the confidence to send away Ratliff, a potential defender.  center, in exchange for Stackhouse.

    But as a result, after Stackhouse joined, good guys, Grant Hill and Joe Dumars were both dragged down by this outside teammate. People often see despair on Grant Hill's face - when you  What else can you do when you have a teammate who shoots 38% and throws 17 times per game?

    Grant Hill averaged 21 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks this season on 16.6 shots per game.

    Jerry Stackhouse averaged 17.2 shots per game this season, 6.5 hits, 20.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.

    When the live broadcast screen switched to the Palace of Auburn Hills, it seemed that the strong sense of despair revealed by Grant Hill was in the air.

    There is a big gap in strength between the two teams. The Suns are fifth in the Western Conference and the Pistons are fifth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. However, the duel between Anfernee Hardaway and Grant Hill is still worth watching.

    Just when the game between the Suns and Pistons started, the warm-up preparations for the Lakers and Bulls began.

    The last game of the first half of the season is expected to be the lowest loss in the first half of the season.

    On this matter, Zhang Hao has to fight hard in this game and cannot lose!

    ??Also, "Hell Experience", since he is so lucky to win the first 6 games, then he definitely wants to get all the rewards!  Not a single one of those rewards can be missing!

 Chapter 379 379. The strongest battle in the season: Beginning (4000 words, please vote for me)

    At 6:40 in the evening, Zhang Hao and his teammates entered the stadium.

    The boos are everywhere, I¡¯m used to it.

    But Jordan¡¯s eyes the hostility is a bit too strong!

    Although Jordan¡¯s hostility in the opening game was strong, it was even stronger now, as if he was going to eat him alive Wasn¡¯t he the one who stole the All-Star vote?

    This is indeed why Jordan is so irritable.

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s face, Jordan felt that this kid should go and live his life in Hollywood, and he actually brought hype.

    The reason why he was robbed was because Zhang Hao showed off his wealth and customized 24 sports cars to attract a wave of fans Jordan really admired this operation, it's a shame this kid could figure it out!

    ¡°If he could think of this, Jordan himself would try it.

    However, some media actually said that Jordan did not win the All-Star vote because he was not as generous as Zhang Hao.

    "As if no one has money, even Jordan has money!

    In 1997, Air Jordan's global sales were US$1.65 billion. He owned 4.5% of Nike's shares and 3% of the sales share of Nike's AJ. The sales share began in 2000, 15 years after the establishment of the AJ brand.  Effectively, if calculated based on current sales, he would have received a sales share of nearly 50 million U.S. dollars in early 2001, and aj's sales have been growing at a pretty good rate every year.

    Based on the current growth forecast, in 8-12 years, his sales share will exceed US$100 million.

    At present, although it is not yet time to get the sales share, his endorsement fee from Nike alone is 28 million U.S. dollars. Including other endorsements, the total endorsement income exceeds 40 million U.S. dollars.

    He is short of money?

    But you have to find a reason to give your teammates a car.

    Jordan is very depressed and can¡¯t find a suitable reason to show off his wealth!

    The reason is that we lost in the finals last year.

    Then, Jordan thought about watching Magic put on his 6th championship ring in the opening game, and heard the Lakers DJ shouting "The best player in the world x" in the opening game

    After last season¡¯s finals, the Lakers players are no longer afraid of Jordan. Now they have a real opponent mentality. Most of the other Bulls players also have an ordinary game mentality, but there is an added hostile atmosphere.

    There is only one person whose mood is obviously different from the others - rookie Tracy McGrady.

    Since his rookie season, McGrady has wanted to shout 666 to Jordan every day. Especially last month, Jordan was simply too strong. Even though there was a clear gap with the top three records, he seized the opportunity to lead the team to a place that is expected to compete in the Eastern Conference.  The first record.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Simply awesome Plath!

    In McGrady's view, Jordan has definitely won the All-Star vote, and his popularity is so high that no two major stars of the Lakers would cause trouble, but Jordan is obviously better than others in terms of exposure, even if he is in  None of the superstars of the Los Angeles Lakers are as exposed as Jordan.

    However, Zhang Hao finally counterattacked

    The All-Star vote leader is something off the court. In terms of competition, McGrady pays special attention to the opposite superstar who is also a high school rookie. He averages 25.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 2 blocks per game Changes in the three-point line specifications have caused the league's  After the game environment changed a lot, Zhang Hao began to play three positions. He continued to play power forward and center, but the center became the third position, and the second position was no longer the shooting guard among the three previous positions.  But a small forward.

    Under such changes, the Lakers have won the past 10 games!

    In the eyes of others, such as Tracy McGrady, it was the changes in the Lakers' play style that made Zhang Hao need to adjust his play structure. Then, playing small forward is very distinctive. Then, the Lakers successfully adjusted and won 10 consecutive games.

    A genius who can meet all your expectations, the ceiling of basketball talent, the strongest genius in history, the light of high school students For some reason, McGrady, who has always been happy-go-lucky, felt jealous when he saw these comments about Zhang Hao from the media.

    He is really happy-go-lucky. At first, he just went to the Adidas training camp to join in the fun. He was not famous in high school, so they just invited him.

    Went to the Adidas training camp and was assigned to face Odom, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, and he matched up.

    Originally, he had no plans to participate in the draft, thinking that it would be no matter where he went, but Odom told him that he was as good as Zhang Hao and Garnett and should participate in the draft. He went back to school and asked his girlfriend Clelenda Harris.  , the latter supported him to give it a try, he went and then replaced Pippen.

    Everything is how fate arranges it, and he will accept it.

    But this time, he just wants to become Zhang Hao¡¯s opponent

    But he also knows,bsp;The Lakers staff reported to the coaching staff and players that the game between the Suns and Pistons will end before 7 o'clock. The Suns currently lead the Pistons by 17 points, which means that the start time of their game will not go earlier.  Drag later.

    The home team Bulls also received this news.

    This allows the two teams to know when their game, which will be broadcast live on multiple television stations, will begin.

    At 6:53 in the evening, the Suns defeated the Pistons 101-88 away from home.

    At 6:58 in the evening, the game was about to begin at the United Center, with the two teams starting the game.

    The prompts triggered by "Hell Experience" were the same as in the past six games, and it happened again when Zhang Hao came on the field.

    The Bulls sent out a starting lineup of Ron Harper, Jordan, Horry, Rodman, and Luke Longley.

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Brent Barry, Zhang Hao, and O'Neal.

    Live broadcast across the United States, the referee held the time, blew the whistle to start the game at 7pm and threw the ball into the air. O'Neal easily won the jump ball over Luke Longley, and the Lakers attacked first!

    Luke Longley did not take off, but retreated directly to block O'Neal on the left side of the three-second zone. After Zhang Hao received the ball in the high post and was blocked by Jordan and Rodman, he still passed the ball to O'Neal, and O'Neal passed back to the top.  In the direction of the arc, Brent Barry cut into the middle to receive the ball. Jordan had already moved to the middle when Zhang Hao passed the ball, chasing behind Brent Barry. Brent Barry received the ball and took one step without dribbling. He made a free throw.  He jumped half a step inside the line Jordan gave up.

    Brent Barry scored two points with a super long gliding dunk!  The Lakers' fast break at the start was still unstoppable.

    When the Bulls attacked, Jordan picked up the ball and slapped it hard, out of bounds, and passed it to Ron Harper.

    Ron Harper advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Horry. Jordan came to the right side of the three-second zone and stuck Doug Christie to receive Horry's pass.

    The Bulls began to rotate positions. When Jordan got stuck, Rodman went to the left sideline to screen Ron Harper, and then moved to the free throw line.

    When Rodman moved to the free throw line, Ron Harper took Zhang Hao, who was switching defense, to a 45-degree angle on the left. Horry used a pick-and-roll to pin Zhang Hao to the left sideline. Rodman turned around at the free throw line and headed toward the basket.  On the down cut, Kenny Anderson was brought to this position by Rodman. He must have flanked Jordan, who started to back-up Doug Christie, trying to steal the ball secretly. Jordan was already prepared and distributed the ball in the middle!

    Rodman reasonably rushed outside the area and received a pass from Jordan, attracting O'Neal's attention, and passed the ball to Luke Longley, who hit the board with a high throw at the beginning!

    There were only three passes in total. To be precise, after Jordan received the ball and started attacking, he passed the ball twice, and only more than one second passed before he reached the end point.

    The cooperation of the Bulls has reached a point of near perfection!

    Jordan's performance this season has been called "the incarnation of God". His excellent tactical system-building ability and the tacit cooperation of his teammates also played a very big role.

    When the Lakers attack, it's very simple. Zhang Hao receives the ball one step outside the free throw line, passes to O'Neal, and O'Neal hits the back in the low post!

    Zhang Hao no longer needs to move. Kenny Anderson and Doug Christie are on the right sideline and left corner respectively. Brent Barry is at a 45-degree angle on the left. O'Neal is forcing Luke Longley.  Smash the ball into the basket.

    This was a little bit beyond the Bulls' expectations. They thought the Lakers would cooperate, but the Lakers let O'Neal start the attack directly.

    However, with the Bulls' triangle offense at the beginning, during the Bulls' second attack, Jordan received the ball on the right side of the three-second zone, and the Lakers no longer had a tendency to flank.

    Jordan hit Doug Christie with his back and turned over for a jump shothow could he look like he was half a month shy of 35 years old?  After jumping up, it was as if gravity had lost its effect for an instant. Jordan turned over as if leaning against a wall, adjusting, shooting, and hitting in the air!

    This is the most helpless thing for the Bulls' opponents. Jordan doesn't have many assists, but there is a group of teammates whose functions are consistent with his, and they have an almost perfect understanding. If Jordan is flanked and the team attack initiated by him, the Bulls  The scoring will be more intense.

    But if Jordan is not flanked, he keeps scoring, and then he has to flank Jordan, and then he is beaten by the other team's attack. Rodman, Horry, and Ron Harper are all very good passers.

    In the end, the defense will be destroyed by the Bulls' constantly switching style of play!  This has been the case for every opponent of the Bulls in the past 10 games!

 Chapter 380 380. Rookie, you have to guard against me!  (10,000 words, please vote for me)

    The Lakers' strategy at the beginning was to open up the space, and O'Neal attacked fiercely, hoping to increase Jordan's singles.

    The Bulls' team shooting percentage so far this season is 46.9%, and Jordan's is 48.1%. No matter how good their team's offense is, Jordan is the most accurate. He averages 23.3 shots per game and 11.2 hits. The number of shots, the number of hits, and the number of hits.  In terms of numbers, they are all ranked first in the league.

    The Lakers hope to use O'Neal's singles offense to influence the Bulls and consume Jordan.

    But Jiang is still old and hot. Jordan saw through the Lakers' strategy at a glance. No matter what, he played hard. If there was a double attack, he would distribute the ball. If there was no double attack, he would play alone.

    The first quarter lasted 6 minutes and 37 seconds. With O'Neal's 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the half, the Lakers led the Bulls 16-14.

    Relying on O'Neal's fierce attack, the Lakers took advantage of the situation, but the point difference did not widen, and they did not see Jordan still hitting hard to maintain his shooting percentage even when being double-teamed as they expected.

    4 points, 1 assist and 1 steal. Jordan's statistics in the first half of the first quarter did not look particularly outstanding, and he only had one assist. However, he initiated the offense, supported by Horry and Rodman, and the Bulls scored in the first 6 minutes and 37 seconds.  By 14 points, the performance was very good.

    Obviously, even if the Lakers think highly of the Bulls' strength, they still underestimate the Bulls' stability.

    Even without Pippen, they have still improved their stability to one of the best in the league by the middle of this season.

    Zhang Hao scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. Returning to the bench, it felt very difficult!

    O¡¯Neal didn¡¯t have an easy time beating Luke Longley, and he still lost a lot of energy.

    The Bulls have the opportunity to change centers in the summer. Obviously Bibby Dele, who embraced them last year, is stronger. The Bucks got Te'lon Hill after sending away Vin Baker. Because they want to continue to perform badly,  The Bucks actively want to send Te'lon Hill, a former All-Star who averaged 12.9 points and 10 rebounds per game last season, to the Bulls. They want Jason, who has a lower salary and a shorter contract.  -Caffey, at that time, as long as they gave up extending the contract with Luke Longley and freed up some space to match the salary, they could get an All-Star level insider who was better on both offense and defense.

    But the Bulls refused, and also renewed Luke Longley with a three-year, $12.36 million contract.

    In the end, the Bulls exchanged Jason Caffey for David Vaughn, who averaged 4.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 14 minutes per game in the early part of the season. He was reimbursed after playing three games

    This operation is indeed bad for the Bulls against other opponents. If Luke Longley is replaced by Te'lon Hill, the Bulls will be at least half a level better against other teams.

    Just look at the Bucks. Te'lon Hill is a fighter. In addition to being strong, he also has strong tactical command ability. He can also drive the whole team. The Bucks' scumbag team atmosphere can  Lead him up. The Bucks have played 48 games and have a record of 20 wins and 28 losses. There is no hope of failure.

    But in order to deal with O'Neal, the Bulls really had to keep Luke Longley. Last season, they had 5 centers in the lineup. In the end, they found that only Luke Longley consumed O'Neal, and Rodman was the most important player in O'Neal.  The best way is to defend O'Neal after being consumed by Luke Longley in the fierce stage.

    This trade-off, from the perspective of competing for the championship, the Bulls did very well.

    Silver Fox was thinking on the tactical board.

    Although he already has high expectations for the Bulls, the strength shown by the Bulls is indeed better than he initially expected.

    Without experiencing it personally, it¡¯s really hard to imagine that without Pippen, Jordan would still be so strong leading the team alone

    Now, whether to let O'Neal continue to play or change the established rotation is a question.

    It¡¯s not that I¡¯m afraid of the strength of the Bulls, but that as a coach, I have to think of better strategies and face all kinds of unexpected factors when playing head-on.

    This is not a big surprise to Zhang Hao. In the original time and space, Pippen took 38 games off in the regular season, almost half of them. When he came back, he also played the lowest defensive efficiency since his sophomore year and the lowest offensive efficiency since the 89-90 season.  , but Jordan still led the Bulls to the same first place record in the regular season as the Jazz, and robbed Malone of an MVP.

    I don¡¯t know why, but after entering the timeout, Shi Fo and Yin Hu stood together and thought together.

    Silver Fox thought for 30 seconds and was about to give up. He first followed the established rotation and dragged it on. When he was thinking slowly, he suddenly discovered that there was a stone Buddha next to him!

    My hand unconsciously clenched the tactical board

    Then, Silver Fox heard Shi Fo say: "Coach, I have a suggestion"

    "Don't build it! I won't listen If you have anything to say, please tell me!"

    ¡­¡­bsp; The ball was slapped to the right sideline by Zhang Hao. Seeing that it was about to go out of bounds, Jason Williams actively pounced to grab the defensive rebound and threw the ball towards Ben Wallace.

    Ben Wallace received the ball and moved his head everywhere. When he saw Zhang Hao running out, he quickly passed it to Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao counterattacked. The Bulls were really aware. McGrady was blocked and lost his balance. After landing, he walked sideways for a few steps and fell to the ground. He was unable to catch up with Zhang Hao immediately, but Rodman and  Ron Harper took advantage of Ben Wallace's poor passing ability and retreated without daring to pass the ball blindly.

    But Zhang Hao was still the third player to rush into the opponent's three-point line.

    Ron Harper came up to stick to Zhang Hao, and Rodman retreated to the basket.

    Obviously, the defense is about Zhang Hao blocking shots and counterattacking with one-stop dunks to boost morale.

    Zhang Hao was not stupid. He forced his way away from Ron Harper when he was close to him, and then suddenly took a step across the free throw line. Ron Harper, who was chasing Zhang Hao, pounced directly over his head. Zhang Hao's left free throw line  He held his side, adjusted a bit, and took a jump shot

    The ball was falling when the shot landed, and Zhang Hao had already turned around and ran back.

    Counterattack and pursuit hit the mid-range shot!

    "Kobe Time (Bronze): Goal command completion progress 23"

    ? 69 to 64, the Lakers opened the point difference to 5 points.

    This shot was too easy. The opponent paid too much attention to his counterattack dunk. They may have thought that he would shoot, but they didn't expect that he would stop in the middle distance and pull forward to shoot. Ron Harper was shaken and saved.  , almost colliding with Rodman on the arc of the three-second zone. He had enough time to adjust, and he knew it would go in when he took the shot.

    McGrady, who had just gotten up and ran to the midline, watched Zhang Hao retreat before the ball went in. What kind of divine confidence is this!  The key to the human world is really invested!

    "Can I have this strength when I am 21 years old? I average 25+7+6 per game"

    McGrady has a very strong ability to adjust, especially after being beaten by Zhang Hao in the first game of his career. He learned something from Zhang Hao and his ability to adjust is even stronger. However, after being hit by Zhang Hao and watching Zhang Hao block the shot, McGrady counterattacked in the mid-range shot.  Still such a CIC

    At this moment, I feel a little unconfident

    At this time, Zhang Hao ran to the midline and stopped next to McGrady.

    "Rookie, try to guard me next round, otherwise something terrible will happen."

    Before McGrady could react, Zhang Hao had already retreated.

    Glancing at Zhang Hao who retreated to the basket, McGrady took a deep breath and accepted the current situation.

    As for what Zhang Hao said, McGrady remembered it, but what can he do?  He felt that there was no need to even guess what the other party meant.

    When the Bulls attacked, this time, McGrady was honest and gave the ball to Kukoc, then cut in, slipped to the baseline, and relied on his athletic ability to contain the defense. If there was a chance to catch the ball, he would shoot. If not, forget it. If there is a chance to catch the ball,  You can also pass the ball, and play your supporting position well.

    The Lakers¡¯ defensive focus is on the basket and wings, and outside the three-point line in the top arc area. If it wasn¡¯t for Kukoc, they would just let it go.

    Horry went around to the left side of the top arc to receive the ball, shot a three-pointer and scored again!

    Horry and Fisher are a bit similar, but there are also differences. For example, Horry's accuracy is average, not bad, but the similarity is that when he needs to score and the difference is not big, Horry is very accurate.  !

    ? 67 to 69, the Bulls narrowed the point difference to two points!

    Judging from the current situation, the goal expected by the Zen Master is expected to be achieved!  Now he has slightly modified his goal. There is no need to overtake and widen the point difference. He just needs to overtake and gain a slight advantage.

    In contrast, Horry's three-pointer was like a stab in the heart of the Silver Fox He said that Doug Christie should be replaced together!

    But now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done?  I can only believe that dead kid.

    When the Lakers attack, Zhang Hao continues to the right side of the free throw line and leans on McGrady to ask for the ball.

    Kukoc directly came up from the flank and let Jason Williams go.

    Zhang Hao did not pass the ball, turned around, broke through, raised his elbow, squeezed the two people away and rushed to the inside!

    The double attack between Tracy McGrady and Kukoc still affected Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao's start was not as good as in the previous round. Rodman's defensive moves were better. Zhang Hao entered the basket and grabbed the ball and took off. Rodman resisted and did not take off. He relied on tyranny.  O'Neal, who was able to carry the physical strength in the second gear, withstood O'Neal's lower plate. Kukoc couldn't catch up with Zhang Hao, but McGrady caught up and jumped with Zhang Hao when he took off!

    Zhang Hao pulled the lever to avoid McGrady's block, his body began to fall, and he tried his best to throw the ball toward the backboard

    After giving it a try, the bicycle turned into a motorcycle. Zhang Hao found the right lever and the route to push the ball out. The "King of the Restricted Area (Bronze)" ensured that it was easier to find the feel within the 91 cm distance centered on the cylinder of the basket and throw it out.  The strength is just right

    The ball hit the backboard and fell into the frame!

    McGrady hit Zhang Hao on the arm when Zhang Hao threw the ball. When the ball fell into the basket, the referee blew the whistle. The goal was valid and there was an additional penalty!

    ¡°Obviously, if the ball doesn¡¯t go in, the referee may not call it, but if it does, it has to be called.

    ?The scene suddenly burst into boos

    After Zhang Hao landed, he looked at McGrady, who was holding the back of his head with his hands in annoyance, and said, "Rookie, do you believe in light?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.

 Chapter 381 381. Give me a chance to kill (6000 words, please vote for me)

    "Kobe Time (Bronze) is triggered, and the player Zhang Hao will be in a hot state of attack in the next three rounds. No matter what kind of defense he encounters, as long as his shot is not blocked or he does not encounter a foul that prevents him from completing the shot, he can get big rewards.  The amplitude of the force makes up for it.¡±

    Zhang Hao also scored an extra penalty, 72 to 67, with the Lakers leading by 5 points.

    ??The 2+1 just now was amazing. Zhang Hao was very angry even after scoring 7 points in a row, but the Zen master was still as steady as a mountain.

    Amazing things definitely represent things that have already happened.

    In the past three rounds, Zhang Hao's state has been explosive, but it also means that Zhang Hao's state has been exerted, and he may return to normal in the future, and the Bulls can selectively defend.

    You can¡¯t be anxious or chaotic, stability is very important, and trusting your teammates is very important.

    The decision made by the Zen Master at this moment was impeccable.

    When the Bulls attacked, McGrady ran and received the ball from the sideline. He averaged 0.8 three-pointers per game with a 35.5% three-point shooting rate. The threat was not low. He got rid of the defense around the baseline and Zhang Hao made up for it.

    Kukoc received Tracy McGrady's pass one meter away from the left side of the free throw line, and had already thrown it when Ben Wallace was in place to defend.

    A long two-point hit!

    69 to 72, the Bulls clung to the score.

    If Zen Master had just called a timeout for substitutions, even if he did not make any substitutions but just called a timeout for adjustments, the morale of the Bulls would have further declined.

    The Bulls players made their own adjustments on the court and scored. The morale that had been suppressed by Zhang Hao's 2+1 improved a lot.

    This is based on strength. Ron Harper, McGrady, Kukoc, Horry, Rodman, this lineup is really not bad. There is a high probability that they will not be able to win as the core lineup of a team alone, but with some  In Jordan's case, they played when Jordan was resting during the rotation period, and their performance was no worse than that of most playoff teams, and they were even on par with the main players of the top teams.

    When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. Kenny Anderson was waiting at the top arc. When Zhang Hao passed the center circle, Kenny Anderson pulled directly towards the right sideline. The little brother had just hit  gesture.

    Zhang Hao started to accelerate directly after passing the middle circle!

    There aren¡¯t that many fools, so why do we need those fools to beat Tracy McGrady?  Accelerate and rush straight to the right side of the top arc!

    McGrady immediately pushed forward and bumped into Zhang Hao¡¯s arm, which was raised at a 45-degree angle. He almost choked

    Zhang Hao crushed Tracy McGrady and rushed inside!

    Horry in the mid-range and Rodman at the basket were both ready. McGrady, who was crushed away, did not give up and followed Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao suddenly took a step into the top right corner of the three-second zone and took the initiative to move sideways.  Horry leaned in, and McGrady quickly pressed forward to flank him, but Zhang Hao grabbed the ball, raised his arm, leaned on Horry on the left and immediately turned right. McGrady quickly avoided it. He is worthy of being Pippen's successor. His reaction is so fast.  ¡­

    Zhang Hao turned around and came to the free throw line and took off. McGrady's athletic ability was really amazing. After dodging, he immediately pounced on Zhang Hao from the side and reached out to block the shot!

    Zhang Hao leaned back to avoid McGrady's hand and pushed the ball out

    Rodman immediately turned around to compete with Jason Williams and Ben Wallace for position, stared at the ball with his head raised, and analyzed the rebound line There was no line!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s strong back-turn turned right and hit a 360-degree fadeaway jumper from the free throw line!

    This guy actually got in!

    Although Zhang Hao successfully threw the ball, both McGrady and Horry felt that they had guarded it. After Zhang Hao's action, it was 100% impossible to say that there was a rhythm.

    Even Jordan would choose to face the defense and make strong shots in this situation. At least he would have a rhythm and a better vision to aim at the basket.

    McGrady pounced on Zhang Hao and saw Zhang Hao leaning back to avoid it. He was already thinking, "The big bug must grab the defensive rebound."

    Zhang Hao looks like he thinks the difficulty is not high enough and wants to create a 360-degree turnaround jumper that is difficult enough. He can make it!

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s calm profile as he turned to retreat, McGrady thought of the two trash words Zhang Hao said to him after the start of the third quarter

    There was no time for McGrady to be in a daze, so he ran to the frontcourt. McGrady received the ball, concentrated on helping Kukoc and Rodman organize the offense.

    The Bulls have Kukoc's support, McGrady's assistance, Rodman can also transfer and has a 2 to 1 assist-to-turnover ratio. The Lakers' lineup can only try its best to defend the basket and the wings. Horry comes to the top arc to receive the ball in one step.  The long two-point shot

    The Lakers can¡¯t control this, but Horry¡¯s move this time is ironclad!

    Rodman rushed hardJason Williams protected the defensive rebound in the face of his idol!

    &nbs; Jordan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly ran back towards the backcourt. The fans at the scene burst into boos and curses instantly!

    After Zhang Hao rushed to the opponent's basket with the ball on a fast break, he looked back, then dribbled the ball outside the three-second zone

    No deductions, no investment, it¡¯s a waste of time!

    There is such a person, and the fans at the scene have already rioted!

    When Jordan rushed into position and was about to pounce on the foul, Zhang Hao stood on the right side of the three-second zone and threw the ball toward the backboard and hit the ball!

    There is 1.1 seconds left!

    The Bulls called a timeout!

    No one would have thought that Zhang Hao would actually do this, nor did the Lakers players. Normally at this time, they would choose to score the ball safely and then consider other things.

    The teammates looked at each other, not knowing what to say, but they were going to win!

    Just now, Jordan broke out and scored 5 points in a row at the critical moment to chase the point difference to 1 point. Their defense was so sluggish that they could no longer play on the offensive end. They were about to lose, but Zhang Hao brought the situation back!

    On the other side, back on the bench, thinking of Zhang Hao's calm expression when he quickly threw a ball when someone like him rushed up, Jordan wanted to hit someone.

    But I have to say, this guy is very smart!  Doing this at this time was definitely the best choice. He took it for granted. If he continued to catch up after being thrown away by three meters a few seconds ago, the opponent would definitely shoot immediately.

    When Jordan walked back to the bench, a voice came from the technical table.

    "Mr. Jordan, your mistake in this ball just now was not that you gave up chasing me to counterattack, but that you didn't directly attack the shark when I pushed forward the counterattack."

    "?f**k!" Jordan turned to look at Zhang Hao who was leaning on the technical stage, was stunned for a moment, and then cursed

    When O'Neal saw Zhang Hao walking to the Bulls' bench, he followed him out of curiosity and cursed along with Jordan!

 Chapter 382 382. Really Big Jia!  (4500 words please vote monthly)

    After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he turned back to his bench. Seeing O'Neal with angry eyes, Zhang Hao took a step forward and passed

    Zhang Hao¡¯s words were loud enough that the entire Bulls bench heard them.

    When Jordan cursed directly, the Zen Master¡¯s heart skipped a beat

    "If Zhang Hao hadn't said it, the Bulls wouldn't have noticed it, including Zen Master.

    At least at this moment, the Bulls players have the idea that the brains of their entire Bulls team are not as useful as Zhang Hao alone!

    It doesn¡¯t necessarily have to be a shark. When Zhang Hao counterattacked, they should foul anyone on the Lakers who could foul. But their idea at the time was that Zhang Hao scored a layup and they were still three points behind. They had a chance to rely on three points.  Tied the score.

    Therefore, Zhang Hao completely ignored the fact that Zhang Hao would choose to delay when he rushed to the frontcourt!

    There were still 1.1 seconds left. I was despised by Zhang Hao for delaying the dunk just now and was full of dissatisfaction and fighting spirit. Now, my mentality collapsed!

    ¡­¡­

    Pause and return, the last 1.1 seconds.

    The Bulls sent a combination of McGrady, Steve Kerr, Jordan, Kukoc and Horry.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Brent Barry, Piakowsky and Zhang Hao.

    Just block the three-point line, resolutely not fouling, and raise your hands in front of the opponent's players outside the three-point line.

    Jordan served, and the ball went to Steve Kerr. Zhang Hao was guarding Steve Kerr.

    When Steve Kerr caught the ball, his mentality collapsed because Zhang Hao was in front of him. He received the ball and pushed it with his hand

    "Snapped"

    It directly pushed Zhang Hao¡¯s arm!

    As the final whistle sounded, the ball fell to the floor, and the game ended amidst the disappointed laments of the fans at the scene.

    Relying on Zhang Hao's 36 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks, O'Neal's 28 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Bulls 111-108. Jordan's 41 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in a single game  Performance becomes background!

    The technical desk watched the replay. When Steve Kerr pushed the ball and hit Zhang Hao's raised arm, the timer counted down with 0.7 seconds left, which was when Steve Kerr caught the ball and shot.  It only took 0.4 seconds and by the way, Zhang Hao filled in his fifth block!

    Jordan really wants to rush up and fight Zhang Hao right nowforget it, there is a 99.999% chance that he will not be able to beat Zhang Hao in an infinite loop.

    So angry!

    It¡¯s obvious that the last two offenses of the Bulls were affected by that kid¡¯s trash talk!

    "Give me a chance to kill"

    Jordan watched Zhang Hao use his skills, play Barkley-style back-up, talk Big Bird-style trash talk, and break Magic's record for the youngest FMVP in history

    And with this trash talk, Jordan feels that he is 100% in the headlines this time

    After the game, reporters rushed into the stadium immediately and surrounded several popular players - Jordan, O'Neal, Zhang Hao, Tracy McGrady, Kenny Anderson, Rodman

    "Michael, Akers broke your record of lowest losses before the All-Star break"

    "Yes! He broke the record again! Go ask him! Why are you asking me?"

    After Jordan finished speaking, he turned away and left.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao received a system prompt when the final whistle sounded.

    "Hell Experience: The series of missions has begun, the fourth phase of the mission is the second goal of the dream journey.

    The Lakers have won 7 consecutive away games: Jazz, Suns, SuperSonics, Heat, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Bulls, and lost teams: None.

    Special contract player Zhang Hao played in all games for 7 consecutive years.

    Congratulations to the host for getting all the rewards: 35-day lifespan, 1 silver draw, special card: staged burst (top), and a designated medal gold upgrade card.

    The remaining life span is 1422 days and the usable life span is 1421 days.  "

    Before he had time to think about which medal to upgrade, reporters gathered around him.

    Zhang Hao was asked the same question as Jordan, except that he was the protagonist.

    Zhang Hao responded: "It wasn't me who broke Mr. Jordan's record, it was our team that broke the Bulls' record, and I don't think it's a record. The Bulls played 51 games when they lost 6 games. We only  Played 45 games, your statement is wrong."

    "" The reporter frowned and snorted through his nostrils - Do I want you to correct the errors in my statement?

    Forget it, I¡¯m used to it, the reporter continued to ask: "You only lost 5 games before the All-Star break,"?? 

    Finally, it¡¯s time to reach the rear guard.

    "There are three players selected for the Western Conference All-Star reserve team this year, and the first one is SuperSonics guard Gary Payton"

    "The second guard position in the All-Star Western Reserve lineup is Jason Kidd of the Suns"

    With only the last spot left, Kenny Anderson and Jason Williams were glued to the TV.

    Zhang Hao was thinking at this time Could the All-Stars be on holiday again this year?  I am very happy during the holiday. This year there is only one day of business activities, so I can have 6 days of fun.

    The All-Star Game is very interesting, but he is confident that he will be selected every year, so he doesn't care so much. On the contrary, after playing 45 games, he really wants to take a good rest for a few days. Even if he finds a gym in New York to train for a few days, it will be fine.  OK

    But no, I have to save face for the Silver Fox, and it¡¯s only one more time to play against peak Jordan

    Just when Zhang Hao was struggling to the point of despair, Kidd's assist highlights were played, and Stu Jackson's face returned to the TV screen again.

    "The third guard position in the All-Star Western Reserve lineup isKenny Anderson of the Lakers!"

    There was a brief silence in O'Neal's room, and then violent cheers broke out!

    This is definitely a surprise!

    Two All-Star substitutes!  Four All-Stars!

    One of them is still a substitute!

 Chapter 383 383. Impossible!  Absolutely possible!  (7500 words, please get a guaranteed monthly pass!)

    "I'm in! I'm in!"

    Zhang Hao looked at the excited shouting "I'm in" and thought of the ancient celebrities who were 54 years old and finally became a fourth-rank official

    In fact, Zhang Hao no longer had any hope. He thought Stockton would be selected as an All-Star substitute. Stockton averaged 12.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 52% from the field and 42.6% from three-point range.  The free throw shooting rate is 82.7%, which means the free throw shooting is a little bit worse, otherwise it would be the 180 club.

    Kenny Anderson averaged 17.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He shot 44.6% from the field, 36.1% from the three-point range, and 77.2% from the free throw line. His efficiency was much lower than that of Stockton.

    Kenny Anderson¡¯s efficiency so far this season is 20.4, All-Star level, while Stockton¡¯s efficiency is 22.9. For a second-team point guard like Payton, the most efficient year, the 95-96 season, was this efficiency.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not necessarily make the All-Star selection, but there is a higher probability that Stockton will not be selected.

    But the west is strong on the inside and the east is strong on the outside.

    The All-Star backup outside contenders in the Eastern Conference are Tim Hardaway, Reggie Miller, Mookie Blaylock, Glenn Rice, Anthony Walker and others.

    Kenny Anderson and Stockton are competing with Hornacek, Marbury, Van Exel, Eddie Jones, and even Drexler, who is about to turn 36.

    In comparison, the Lakers already have Jason Williams as an All-Star substitute, and Kenny Anderson should not be as competitive as Stockton or Hornacek.

    However, Kenny Anderson won the battle, which is surprising from this aspect. The efficiency is not as good as Stockton, but combined with the data and record, Kenny Anderson has a slight advantage.

    On the other hand, Jason Williams beat Schrempf, Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace, Raheem, Sean Elliott, Antonio McDyess, Divac, etc.  Being selected as an All-Star substitute is actually even more surprising.

    On TV, after Kenny Anderson's game highlights were played, mugshots of the 12 Western Conference All-Stars were posted, including O'Neal, Zhang Hao, Malone, Anfernee Hardaway, Payton, Jason Williams,  Garnett, Vin Baker, David Robinson, Mitch Richmond, Kidd, and Kenny Anderson make up this year's Western Conference All-Star lineup.

    Immediately afterwards, Stu Jackson began to announce the Eastern Conference All-Star substitutes, Kemp of the Cavaliers, Anthony Walker of the Celtics, Rick Schmitz of the Pacers, Mourning of the Heat, and the Pacers.  Reggie Miller of the Hornets, Glen Rice of the Hornets, and Tim Hardaway of the Heat were selected to the All-Star reserve team.

    Since Mourning was injured a few days ago and was determined to be unable to play in the All-Star Game, Stu Jackson announced that Bulls forward Dennis Rodman would be selected as an alternate.

    Rodman was selected as an All-Star, which surprised the Lakers players, but if the league officially selected a substitute, then Rodman's selection would not be that surprising.

    The Bulls cannot be so poor that they only have one All-Star.

    Rodman has always performed better than most All-Stars, but his poor off-court performance and poor impression in the minds of coaches of various teams resulted in his failure to be selected as an All-Star in a season in which he averaged 18.3 rebounds per game.

    After the Eastern All-Star substitute list was announced, mugshots of the 12 Eastern All-Stars were posted, including Mutombo, Duncan, Grant Hill, Jordan, Iverson, Kemp, Anthony Walker, Rodman,  Reggie Miller, Glenn Rice, Tim Hardaway, and Steve Smith formed the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    At 4 p.m., the Lakers coaching staff and players took the boss¡¯s private plane to New York.

    The entire Lakers team was very excited. Originally, they were expecting only Kenny Anderson to be selected as an All-Star, but it turned out that Jason Williams was also added, which was a complete surprise.

    With the exception of Bogues, who is going to Cleveland to treat a nerve in his leg, and Rick Fox, who is going back to Los Angeles to study, the other 12 Lakers players are all heading to New York.

    In addition to the four All-Stars, Fisher and Piakowsky will participate in the three-point contest.

    After Zhang Hao arrived in New York, he relaxed and happily started rest mode, and only had one business activity the day after tomorrow.

    O¡¯Neal and Kenny Anderson unfortunately started the promotion mode.

    After Jason Williams joined the Lakers in 1995, he was signed to a "potential player" contract with Reebok, with a one-year endorsement fee of US$25,000.

    It¡¯s the third year, and the contract hasn¡¯t been cancelled. Playing in a big city still has some benefits, and you can make a little extra money.

    There is a clause in the contract to be selected as an All-Star or the best team, a potential playerbsp;This forms a perfect linkage with "Ma Long's Elbow"!

    It used to be simple and crude, but now it¡¯s skillful but still crude!

    Zhang Hao closed his eyes and showed excitement on his face.

    Next to him, Jordan, who had been drinking water for two hours and was a little tired, looked at Zhang Hao with his eyes closed and thinking, a smile on his lips, and excitement on his face a sudden feeling that something was wrong

    "Could it be no!

    impossible.

    impossible!

    Absolutely impossible!  "

    Jordan had a terrible idea, and then saw Zhang Hao open his eyes.

    Zhang Hao was busy moving his body, picked up the ball, and started practicing back hitting.

    Jordan and Zhang Hao have played against each other many times. I am sure that Zhang Hao himself said just now that his back-up play has no ability to connect. He can do whatever he wants when he is ready. Occasionally, there are movements that appear to be connected, but in fact they are.  Because of the actual situation, he easily had the opportunity to change his back-up style.

    Like when meeting Rodman, Garnett and others, their post-up skills are always lacking.

    Then, Jordan saw Zhang Hao demonstrate all the moves he had just taught him, every move

    When he teaches, there are explanations, emphasis, slow-motion demonstrations of details, and content that seems to have nothing to do with back-up play but requires training When Zhang Hao demonstrates, it is at a normal speed.

    In about ten minutes, Zhang Hao demonstrated all the technical movements, training methods, small details of training methods, and some fake movement training methods

    Jordan looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He felt something was wrong from the beginning. When Zhang Hao started practicing by himself, he wanted to know how far Zhang Hao had memorized and how far he could practice

    After watching the whole process, I found that I learned it immediately!

    Although the movements were purely imitated by someone like him, Qiao, I really learned it!

    ¡°I thought Tracy¡¯s learning talent was unmatched in the world, but I didn¡¯t expect this kid to be even more powerful!

    God, who am I?  Can anyone tell me who I am?  By the way, I am Michael Jordan, the best player in basketball history

    Am I sleepwalking?  I must be dreamingyesI want to go home"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 384 384. You have to charge for this kind of thing!  (5,000 words, please get a guaranteed monthly pass)

    Zhang Hao practiced a whole set, which was 6 times, and couldn't stop. In a blink of an eye, it was already past ten o'clock.

    After a set of training, Zhang Hao was freed from the emotion of just learning a new technology and wanting to practice it several times.

    That feeling is so overwhelming

    At this time, he found that Jordan had disappeared, and April Clark was also yawning beside him.

    "Where is Mr. Jordan?"

    April Clark responded: "He saw that you were in good shape during training and only had one ball, so he went back first."

    "Uh I picked up a basketball for nothing today? Let me take a look, let me rub it, I think I saw this ball just now, it cost more than 300 dollars! I made a profit!"

    ¡­¡­

    In the early morning of the next day, just after midnight, Zhang Hao entered the learning mode.

    First, we simulated and trained a set of high-position back skills.

    With the ability to connect various post-playing techniques, it is so fun to train.

    Unlike real training, although simulated training cannot bring about muscle memory, there is no physical fatigue during simulated training and you are always in perfect physical condition and physical condition, so you can have a more thorough experience of the technology itself during training

    After practicing a group, Zhang Hao did not continue to think about the training. He carefully analyzed his ability to connect various post-up techniques, that is, the impact of the complete version of high post-up on his high-post singles.

    It will definitely have an impact on the overall play style, and as the team's second scorer and second passer, he will also have an impact on the team's overall play style.

    Fortunately, at present, the Lakers are still in the process of adjustment, and this can be added.

    So he devoted himself to the analysis of play style and the dismantling and reconstruction of the team¡¯s latest system changes

    "Encyclopedia of basic tactics" and "Encyclopedia of off-ball movement routes", these two books once again played a vital role.

    When you read the same book at different stages of your life, you will always get different feedback. This is how Zhang Hao feels now.

    On February 6th, the 1998 New York NBA All-Star Weekend Carnival officially began.

    Where is the city with the strongest basketball atmosphere in the world?  Without a doubt, New York.

    It has the largest basketball market in the world, the richest fans, and the owner who is most willing to spend money At this stage, the Knicks are not a team with stupid people and a lot of money, but a very good team.  The team has a strong local appeal. The Lakers and Bulls have made less money from the comeback of Zhang Hao and Jordan in the past two years than the Knicks.

    The All-Star Weekend held here was a frenzy.

    At 9 a.m., the 24 All-Stars who will play in the All-Star Game the day after tomorrow gathered at Madison Square Garden, the holy land of basketball, to take group photos and individual photos.

    Before the official NBA program released the makeup photos, major TV stations had already exposed a number of photos and videos.

    The NBA doesn¡¯t care. All they want is attention. They would love for a TV station to help expose this kind of thing.

    One of the photos has attracted a lot of attention - Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, and Jason Williams accepted the invitation of the American cable TV station and took a set of photos.

    The New York Times put this group of photos on the front page of the evening edition on the 6th, with the text - The Big Three of the Nets.

    As early as when Kenny Anderson and Jason Williams were both selected to the All-Star bench, the media was hyping this matter, but the intensity was not enough. Taking advantage of the popularity of the All-Star Weekend, the New York media turned up the heat!

    Before the rookie game started that night, one of the live broadcasters, American Cable TV, also specially showed this group of photos and a collection of the three people's tacit cooperation during the game.

    There is no doubt that the joke of "the Big Three of the Nets" has become popular!

    NBA President David Stern was also speechless.

    ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s all about heat, let it go.

    Anyway, after Duncan announced his withdrawal from the All-Star Rookie Game in the middle of last month, the popularity of the Rookie Game was greatly reduced.

    At this time, the New York media is hyping up this matter, which actually adds to the popularity of this All-Star Weekend.

    ¡°But the rookie game was really good.

    The Eastern Conference lineup for the Rookie Game is: Tim Thomas of the 76ers, Van Horn of the Nets, Ron Mercer of the Celtics, Cedric Henderson and Derek of the Cavaliers  -The super foursome of Anderson, Big Z, and Brevin Knight, McGrady of the Bulls, and Ed Gray of the Hawks.

    Rookie Game Western Team LineupLooking at the system prompts for today¡¯s question, after receiving Jordan¡¯s analysis and explanation, it has been collected into the writing of "Michael Jordan Version of High Post Singles Skills", Zhang Hao is very satisfied.

    He hasn¡¯t yet remembered that the effect of ¡°I¡¯ll understand it at a glance¡± is limited to Jordan¡¯s last instruction, but he just needs to memorize and practice it repeatedly in simulated training, and then actually train until he masters it.

    Looking at Zhang Hao's satisfied look, Jordan's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to shout that it was impossible Well, he thought that if Zhang Hao just learned it like this, Zhang Hao should already be able to do what he just pointed out.

    Talent riding such things, feel a few times, and get used to it.

    "Okay, that's it for today. I have something to talk to you about."

    "Okay, let's go to the lounge."

    Although he didn¡¯t know what he wanted to talk about, with Jordan¡¯s serious face, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t ask any more questions. Since he wanted to talk, the other party would tell himself.

    Seeing that Zhang Hao did not continue to ask for advice, Jordan became more certain

    "I just hope that my skills will not be dirty again"

    ¡­¡­

    "Akers, we need to be tough to deal with the oppression of the bosses. We must confront them head-on, otherwise they will only squeeze more. We can't believe the capital. The owner of the Bulls cries about poverty every day, but I know that he relies on  The team¡¯s influence in surrounding income definitely makes a lot of money"

    Seeing Jordan spitting passionately and talking about labor negotiations, Zhang Hao did not interrupt and listened quietly.

    This does not surprise Zhang Hao. The labor negotiations have reached this point. It is no longer possible to extend the old version of the labor agreement like in 1995. As the recognized leader in the league and the player who brings the most income to the league, Jordan must have joined the negotiations.  middle.

    After Jordan finished speaking, Zhang Hao responded: "Mr. Jordan, come on, I support your decision. If you need my help with anything, you can call me at any time."

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Jordan was stunned, should he come down now?

    Shouldn¡¯t we ask some questions, such as the impact on income, etc.?

    Jordan asked himself: "Akers, aren't you worried that your income will be affected?"

    Income Zhang Hao responded: "I prefer the NBA to have a more stable future. Your idea is right. We should be in the same position as the bosses, rather than being exploited workers.

    As for income, you don¡¯t have to worry about me, I have the original shares of Starbucks.  "

    Jordan exploded immediately and said loudly: "I also own shares in Nike! 4.5% of the shares are worth 900 million! It keeps rising every year!"

    ""

    Zhang Hao was confused, why did he suddenly start comparing himself to this?

    He knew that Jordan had a stake in Nike. After all, before Jordan joined Nike, Nike was about to go bankrupt. At that time, they made a desperate offer of $2.5 million + stake in five years to acquire Jordan. In the first year, sales exceeded 100 million.  It took just one year for Nike to make a comeback and become the first in sales of basketball shoes in the United States. More than ten years later, Nike has become a super sports brand with a market value of nearly 20 billion.

    In addition to this part of the dry stock, Zhang Hao also knew that Jordan would receive sales share from Nike's aj in the future, and later it would be close to 200 million U.S. dollars per year

    But why are you comparing it to this now?  How could this irritate the god of basketball?

    Zhang Hao¡¯s idea is very simple. He certainly won¡¯t mind having too much money. However, Jordan is still a dragon-slaying warrior and has not turned into an evil dragon. He finds this kind of thing troublesome, so he can just support Jordan.

    Realizing that he was losing his composure, Jordan took a deep breath.

    Mainly, it went too smoothly. I thought it would be troublesome to talk to a young man like Zhang Hao about this kind of thing. Who knew that the other party trusted him so much This actually touched him.

    ¡°Obviously it¡¯s not just Zhang Hao who is rich, because Zhang Hao is talking about hoping for a more stable future

    "Damn it, why do I have a slight liking for you again!"

    Politeness is the most useful advantage, and sincere politeness is the best.

    Appearances are given by parentssome are given by doctors. It is difficult to know clearly whether you have money or not, and it takes time to get in touch with whether you are capablebut politeness can be understood the first time you meet.

    The first impression is very important.

    When Zhang Hao and Jordan met in private for the first time, they got the initial good impression through being polite, and they still benefit a lot from it to this day.

    With Zhang Hao¡¯s clear support, Jordan stopped talking nonsense and the two came to the training ground to continue training.

    This time, Jordan stopped practicing his skills, which was hurtful.

    Although he is technically better than Qiao, the learning speed is really annoying.

    So, Jordan then practiced basic skills.

    This time, Jordan is far ahead

    It suddenly became popular. Jordan asked: "How come your basic skills have not improved in two years? Developing technology is very important, and polishing basic skills is equally important!"

    ¡°???¡±

    What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s going on?  Why are you dissatisfied with him again?  Zhang Hao was confused

    When it was close to 9 o'clock, the All-Stars arrived one after another.

    Jordan began his lobbying work and communicated with all the All-Stars. Among them, old superstars such as O'Neal, Mourning, Malone, Payton and new-generation superstars such as Iverson, Duncan, and Garnett spent more time talking.  long.

    Not everyone¡¯s brains are so bright, and sometimes they can be quite troublesome.

    Because some young players have never experienced a period of low salary, they really believed the bosses' saying that "players get too much", which made Jordan not know what to say.

    Fortunately, Americans like to take sides. We are all players. The 24 All-Stars have reached a consensus. At the very least, the All-Stars will not hold back in subsequent negotiations.

    ?Then comes the interview session and charity activities

    One day passed, and at 6 o'clock in the evening, the main game of the All-Star Weekend kicked off.

    O¡¯Neal returned to the All-Star starting lineup. He was very lively during the entrance ceremony, and there was a dance at the beginning

    The All-Stars held in New York were much brighter than last year¡¯s All-Stars in Cleveland. The opening assistant guest was Whitney Houston, and Britney also appeared on the stage.

    Regarding Britney, Zhang Hao is quite helpless. This little sister seems to be less and less enthusiastic about becoming a big star, and she is becoming more and more Buddhist.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter to him. Anyway, he doesn¡¯t point to Britney¡¯s record company to make money.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the All-Star Game started.

    Western team starting lineup: Payton, Anfernee Hardaway, Zhang Hao, Malone, O'Neal.

    Eastern team starting lineup: Iverson, Jordan, Grant Hill, Duncan, Mutombo.

    The coach of the Western Team is Silver Fox, and the coach of the Eastern Team is Zen Master, who once again served as the head coach of the All-Star Game after a year.

    Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, and Jason Williams didn't play much tonight, all between 10 and 25 minutes.

    Obviously the Silver Foxes don¡¯t want their players to waste their energy in the All-Star Game.

    Silver Fox couldn't help O'Neal, and he felt sorry for the other party's pitiful appearance.

    After all, he is the first player in the Mesozoic era. He sacrificed so much in the team and showed his face. The Silver Fox let O'Neal play for 35 minutes.

    The Silver Foxes use more stars Anfernee Hardaway and Jason Kidd of the Suns, currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference, Malone of the Jazz, ranked second, and Perry of the Sonics, ranked third.  Dayton and Vin-Baker.

    Without covering up, it is to let your own rest and consume competitors team players.

    But these players played really hard, because Jordan played very hard in the East.

    Jackson basically can't stop Jordan in this kind of thing. Jackson can only let Rodman rest and let Iverson, Duncan, Glenn Rice, Tim Hardaway, Mutombo, Reggie Rice  Le, Kemp and others played more.

    The combination of Anfernee Hardaway + O'Neal or the combination of Kidd + Malone, the Western team mainly plays these two sets of dual-core, one inside and one outside.

    The Eastern team focuses on the outside duo.

    The overall characteristics of the East and West are also reflected in the All-Star Game. The top teams in the West are strong inside and have strong ability to combine internal and external lines. The top teams in the East are generally strong in scoring ability from the outside. The top teams in the East use inside players as the main offensive points.  Yes, the 76ers are the only team, even the Knicks before Ewing was injured.It would be great if we really make a comeback"

    ¡­¡­

    Nash and Rasheed Wallace are so helpless!

    It¡¯s not like they just defeated the opposing team. They have never defeated this opponent since they entered the NBA.

    And then they became the target of venting tonight.

    But there is no way. The Lakers beat the Knicks at the beginning of the season. Both games have been played this season. The Knicks have no hope of reaching the finals. The Lakers can't let go of their evil fire, so they can only vent it.  On the Trail Blazers.

    O¡¯Neal acted like a blue-collar player tonight, defending, grabbing rebounds, and occasionally providing support, allowing Zhang Hao and Brent Barry, who has been in good form recently, to take more shots.

    Zhang Hao was not polite, played 40 minutes, threw 33 times, made 18 of 33 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 8 of 10 free throws, scoring 46 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

    Brent Barry also performed well tonight, scoring a season-high 24 points.

    Zhang Hao and Brent Barry scored 70 points together, leading the Lakers to ravage the Trail Blazers 117-105, improving their record to 46 wins and 7 losses, refusing to lose in a row!

    After five consecutive away games, the Lakers achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, a pretty good performance, with an 80% winning rate. This winning rate is higher than the winning rate of the Jazz, currently second in the league with 42 wins and 13 losses.

    On the 23rd, the morning after playing the Trail Blazers, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

    Finally, we have to play several home games in a row. Playing 8 games in 13 days is really not easy. If the opponent is not injured or sick, it will really be another wave of devilish schedule, echoing before the All-Star weekend.

    Fortunately, there are only two games left in this month with 6 days left. The game against the Nuggets on the 27th is not important. What is important is the next opponent. It is surprisingly strong. It is still ranked 41 wins and 14 losses.  The Pacers No. 1 in the Eastern Conference!

 Chapter 386 386. Tian Ke Walker (7000 words, please vote for me)

    ¡°Larry, why did you choose to be your own head coach?¡±

    "I thought about finding a top coach to lead us last summer. I analyzed what kind of coach we needed. After the analysis, I found that I could do it myself, so I gave it a try and found that it really worked."

    "" Barkley was silent for a while and continued to ask: "What do you think of the Lakers' adjustments?"

    "Their adjustments have been great. If I had gone to the position of Silver Fox, I might not have been able to do that well. Akers has improved so fast. I don't know if you have noticed. After the All-Star Weekend, his post-up play is even better.  Although there are only a little more changes, he played very well against Wallace's defense when he played the Trail Blazers two days ago, and performed better than the two previous times they played the Trail Blazers.  This year Akers didn¡¯t score as many points as last year, but his strength has changed qualitatively.¡±

    This is my next question!

    Although it is difficult to see the changes in Zhang Hao's back play through regular inspection, as time went by, those with sharp eyes still noticed the progress of Zhang Hao's back play.

    What makes people feel incredible is that this change only happened a week ago. When the Lakers played the Bulls in the last game before the All-Star Weekend, Zhang Hao had almost no connection with his back, but after the All-Star Weekend, he could do it smoothly.  .

    Every time t.n.t Sports wants to interview Zhang Hao, the old reporters and commentators are reluctant to go. The same is true when interviewing Larry Bird.

    Barkley chose to accept the job of interviewing Larry Bird before the game, and now he really wants to fight this guy again!

    It is said that interviewing Larry Bird was relatively good, but interviewing his former teammate was even more painful

    Finally, Barkley found a question and asked: "Why did you let Mark Jackson go in the summer of 1996?"

    "Charles, do you want to fight?"

    "Come on! If you don't dare to take action, you are just a little bird!"

    ""

    Finally, Barkley regained a victory.

    February 25th is the day the Lakers play the Pacers at home.

    This game has attracted a lot of attention. The Lakers have occupied the first place in the league since the beginning, and naturally they have always been first in the Western Conference. Although the Pacers' record is not as wild as the Lakers, they still occupy the first place.  The fact that they are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference is even more incredible than the fact that the Lakers are attacking the Bulls' historical record of 70 wins!

    In fact, in the 1995-96 season, the Pacers had already shown their potential to win the championship.

    At that time, Reggie Miller and Rick Schmitz were in their prime. The double-Davis front line was extremely strong, and the bench lineup was also strong. However, in the summer of 1996, Larry Bird had a brain attack, and Mark  Jackson was let go, but had to be traded back later, losing players and draft picks in vain, and being slapped in the face fast and hard.

    This year, Larry Bird, the top coach, left the Pacers, and Larry Bird, the general manager, took charge personally. Not many people were optimistic about it before the start of the season.

    Superstar coaching generally fails. Magic Johnson, Larry Bird¡¯s lifelong enemy, has personally demonstrated this.

    Not every team is competing for the championship at its peak in team history, nor is it that every star is competing for the championship at the peak of his career.

    On the contrary, many teams may not have a real championship experience, and many superstars may never come close to a championship in their careers.

    Before the start of this season, many people believed that the Pacers and Reggie Miller were at their peak when they reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 1994 and 1995.

    This is the norm in the NBA.

    But the Pacers have occupied the first place in the Eastern Conference almost from the beginning of the season, which really exceeded the expectations of all media and experts.

    Maybe this year¡¯s Eastern Conference Finals team will be the Pacers!

    The Lakers attach great importance to this game. Even Zhang Hao is not sure whether this Pacers team can reach the finals. The performance is really good.

    Last summer, Larry Bird stopped thinking. He did not renew the contract with Larry Brown and did not change the core lineup. He also introduced Chris Mullin from the Warriors. From the beginning of the season to the present, his strength is stable and strong.  , even if the three-point line is extended, it has almost no impact on the Pacers.

    With such an opponent, other championship-level teams have already taken it seriously, including the Lakers.

    ¡­¡­

    At 6:10 in the evening, players from the two teams entered the court at the Great Western Forum Arena.

    "Reggie Miller, 32 years old, 198 cm, 95 kg, ability evaluation 88, offense 93, defense 65, three-pointer 94, mid-range shot 96, layup 86, passing 78, speed 89, strength 79I saluted "Ah".

    After roaring, Antonio Davis chuckled and ran to the sideline to prepare to serve.

    Neither Davis was angry, and the "Wolf Roar" prompt from the system also showed that it had no effect, which made Zhang Hao regretful.

    Zhang Hao is not surprised. Dale Davis and Antonio Davis are two players who are good at irritating their opponents. How can they be easily angered by their opponents.

    But this time the block was very effective. The Pacers were slow in pace, and the pick-and-roll attack just started was also very late, with only 6 seconds left.

    Jaylen Rose caught the ball and hit Rick Fox in isolation. He rushed to the basket, failed to get rid of the defense, and made an anxious shot "Pa" another big block for Zhang Hao!

    Before the ball even hit the ground this time, the whistle for the 24-second violation had already sounded!

    Jaylen Rose is not yet the top scorer who will average 20+ per game four times in five years. Jaylen Rose, who has just turned 25, has great potential, but now it is very difficult for him to deal with Rick Fox's defense.  There is also Zhang Hao who is a first-class rim protector under the basket, which is indeed difficult to beat.

    The main reason is that Zhang Hao has made great progress on the defensive end in the past year. The last time the two teams played against each other was a year ago. It has been a long time since they have played against each other. Although I have heard about it and learned about Zhang Hao's progress from the video or live broadcast,  The real feeling is that the difference is still very big.

    Especially Zhang Hao¡¯s bottom line defense, Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, and Jaylen Rose all felt it tonight.

    The Lakers attacked, Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, and Zhang Hao came to the top arc to pick and roll with Fisher.

    Fisher was very sensible and handed the ball to Zhang Hao during the pick-and-roll. Zhang Hao received the ball from the top of the arc and turned around.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s average number of breakthroughs per game is less than 5, and he rarely breaks through when facing forwards to reduce the wear and tear on his knees and ankles. The Pacers have studied this in detail, and they have studied it very carefully.

    When Zhang Hao breaks through, he usually breaks through the opponent's smaller players after picking and rolling, and uses his body to eat hard!

    So this time the Pacers were already prepared to prevent a breakthrough when Zhang Hao went to top the arc for the pick-and-roll.

    Especially after the distance between the three-point line in the top arc area was extended, Zhang Hao's style of play became more clear, and the Pacers were ready to defend.

    However, when Fisher opened up and the Pacers started to move on defense, Zhang Hao pulled up and shot directly from the top arc!

    "The pick-and-roll executor (Silver) is triggered. The wearing player Zhang Hao shoots a three-pointer in the top arc area after this pick-and-roll. The three-point rating in the top arc area is temporarily raised to 84"

    A very good push opportunity, Zhang Hao did not miss it, he had enough space and time to adjust and hit the three-pointer!

    Antonio Davis, who expanded to defend the pick-and-roll, did not press forward but cut off Fisher's receiving line and prepared to retreat and attack from the flank. Zhang Hao seized this opportunity and made a decisive move.

    Larry Bird called a timeout!

    The Lakers' offense was too strong in the second quarter!

    He made 3 of 3 shots, two of which were three-pointers, and scored 8 points in a row. The score was directly tied at 35 to 28, and the Lakers were 7 points ahead!

    Larry Bird looked at Zhang Hao, who was walking to the opposite bench, with a big head

    He has seen Zhang Hao's progress, which is not bad, he is a genius, the ceiling of basketball talent.

    But Larry Bird really didn¡¯t expect the change in Zhang Hao¡¯s playing style.

    In the baseline defense just now, others thought Zhang Hao was great, but Larry Bird saw it clearly - Zhang Hao desperately relied on his physical advantage to first defend Dale Davis on the pick-and-roll and then cut in.  He tried his best to defend Antonio Davis who was receiving the ball on the other side of the three-second zone.

    ??For most centers, even centers with the defensive level of Mourning and Mutombo, they will not fight so hard for this kind of ball. If one point is blocked and the other point is dunked, there is nothing they can do.

    But Zhang Hao did just that!  If Zhang Hao had thought about it and hesitated for half a beat at that time, he would have missed the opportunity. But it was this unrestrained defensive method that allowed Zhang Hao to complete that amazing block.

    And this three points

    Obviously so many three-pointers have been cut off. From averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game with a 36.6% shooting rate to 33% shooting and averaging 1.3 three-pointers per game, Zhang Hao still dared to throw this ball.  !

    But if someone comes in, what can you do to him?

    After improving his post-up play, he launched a team attack and played better, and he dared to throw and score. Larry Bird thought of No. 23 of the Bulls But was it me who agreed to be the template?

    Knowing that the other party wants to force them to replace the main force, Larry Bird now has to be led by the other party

    On the other side, Silver Fox did not expect that his conspiracy would come true so quickly. In less than two minutes, he directly stopped the opponent with an 8-2 wave At this time, Silver Fox really hoped that the Pacers would reach the finals.  , their Lakers' twin towers are very capable of defeating this opponent!

 Chapter 387 387. Dominance reappears!  (4000 words, please vote for me)

    It is always difficult to communicate the joys and sorrows between people.

    Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson were replaced early, and they also felt restrained.

    The Silver Fox is very excited about this kind of restraint. Looking at the four major teams in the East - Pacers, 76ers, Bulls, and Heat, only the Pacers do not have a combination of meat shield + the best defensive power forward.  In order to ensure that the Bulls can limit O'Neal, they don't even want All-Star insiders like Te'Lon Hill given to them by the Bucks for free.

    In order to deal with O'Neal, the Heat, 76ers, and Bulls have all taken the tonnage-level center route. Mourning, who seems no taller than Rick Fox, has gained weight to 118 kilograms and turned into a low tank.

    There is only the Pacers, which is still a regular team.

    Perhaps Larry Bird himself didn't expect that he would be first in the Eastern Conference in his first year of coaching, and immediately become the biggest favorite in the Eastern Conference, because they have played against the 76ers, Heat, and Bulls, and they have all won.  negative advantage.

    However, as far as Zhang Hao's impression is concerned, he remembers that Larry Bird never engaged in the habit of using up human shields. Instead, he played according to what he thought was the most suitable style of play. In the future, he actually reached the finals and fought against the Lakers.  Six games.

    In his impression, in the original time and space of the 2000 Finals, the Pacers followed a spatial flow route, emphasizing high-speed rotation to flank and cover the ball holder, and defended Kobe from the outside to the point of tears.

    But in terms of inside, although O'Neal couldn't guard against the Pacers' shooting inside, O'Neal averaged 38 points and 16 rebounds per game to help the Lakers defeat the Pacers 4-2. The Pacers originally wanted to use Olaju for their space-flowing inside.  The Wang-style defense caused O'Neal to make mistakes, but O'Neal, who was already 145 kilograms at the time, was already invincible one-on-one. With Kobe Bryant restraining the defense on the outside, he played singles wantonly and crushed everything.

    This forced the NBA to modify the rules, abandon the "no early double attack" rule, introduce zone defense to limit O'Neal's offense, and introduce defensive three seconds to limit O'Neal's frame protection. O'Neal's dream of being the best defensive player was shattered.

    Before that, O'Neal had just finished second in the votes for the best defensive player.

    In the current Pacers team, when Larry Bird started, he followed his own ideas and was unwilling to be restrained by the "trend". He tried to win over Ratliff, and Ratliff was not a tonnage center.  He is a team center.

    Zhang Hao analyzed it. Perhaps, this is the key reason why the Pacers can stand out among the top four in the Eastern Conference and have always occupied the first place in the Eastern Conference.

    Retaining the tonnage-type center as the main force will more or less constrain the formation of the lineup.

    On the 76ers side, having a tonnage insider next to Duncan is a very suitable match, but the 76ers coach

    The current Lakers team, although O'Neal has not reached his peak, but with him and Zhang around, the Remy Martin Twin Towers are tantamount to a dimensionality-reducing blow to the Pacers' insiders!

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the Lakers made no substitutions, including the Pacers' combination of Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Derek McKay, Dale Davis, and Antonio Davis.

    Mark Jackson and Lightning Miller came up, and the Pacers' offense stabilized again.

    In the first three rounds, the Lakers' lineup allowed the Pacers' offensive opportunities to appear at close range. However, Zhang Hao's arrogant baseline defense at close range tonight prevented Double Davis from attacking the frame, and Mark Jackson came on.  , and with the help of Reggie Miller's shooting, this aspect has been made up for.

    However, after O'Neal finished beating Zhang Haolang, the Pacers still couldn't defend him.

    Zhang Hao's high-post attack, coupled with two relief pitchers, a high-post support point, and a rush-type inside line, was quite good. The Pacers once hit a 6-0 wave to restore the decline, but Fisher stood up in time.  A three-pointer, a counterattack 2+1, and a 6-0 return, Zhang Hao was stunned when he saw the pass.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Being able to secure a starting position earlier than Kobe Bryant, press Crazy Fan on the bench and rub him, whether it was the Silver Fox or the Zen Master, insisted that he be the starter, it was indeed something.

    At 6 minutes and 55 seconds of the second quarter, Zhang Hao seized the opportunity to rush to the basket and cause Dale Davis, who was covering the defense, to foul. The ball was dead and the official timeout was entered. The Lakers led the Pacers by 5 points 49 to 44, and Zhang Hao  There are also free throw opportunities!

    The Pacers have ushered in a truly good coach. This season, they have built on the foundation of the past few years in terms of building their offensive system, strengthening their defense, and pre-game preparations.  Qualitative change or improvement.

    Being able to occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference for more than half a season is not something that falls from the sky, but is earned through hard work step by step.

    One of the best things about the Pacers is that in their pre-game preparations, they have targeted the Lakers¡¯ twin towers.bsp;After the adjustment period, the Lakers' performance looks better than the month before the All-Star break, gradually approaching the near-perfect state of 26 wins and 4 losses in the first two game months.

    Originally, because the Lakers had a brutal hellish schedule before the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers, who were 33 wins and 5 losses at the time, were not expected to hit 70 wins. However, in that hellish schedule, the Lakers won all.

    After the All-Star Weekend, it seems that the strength has declined, but it is just because the state has fluctuated after resting for too long, Zhang Hao's strength has become stronger, and the Lakers need to adjust.

    After the adjustment, the Lakers became better than before the All-Star break

    Currently, the Lakers have 47 wins and 7 losses, with 28 games left to play.

    To get at least 70 wins, you have to have a record of 23 wins and 5 losses, which means you have to win 6 out of every 7 games This is ridiculously difficult!

    Comparing the records of other teams this season, the Jazz, currently second in the league, has a winning rate of 77%, and a record of 23 wins and 5 losses, a winning rate of 82.1%.

    If it is before the All-Star Weekend, it will be better. After the crucial All-Star Weekend, all playoff-level teams and championship teams are striving for better records and better rankings.

    It will be very difficult even for the Lakers to increase their winning percentage at this time.

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s night, and Zhang Hao enters study mode.

    The Pacers are one of the true championship-level teams that the Lakers faced after the All-Star Weekend. After reviewing the game, Zhang Hao felt more clearly the restraint of the Lakers against the Pacers.

    In fact, when O'Neal didn't come, with Ceballos, the restraint against the Pacers was obvious. The Pacers were not good at dealing with players with strong inside impact.

    Finally, both Davises have All-Star level strength. One is a starter and the other is a strong substitute. They have better ability to deal with impact forwards. However, Ceballos has been upgraded to O'Neal, and he is also stronger, so  If we really meet the Pacers in the finals Zhang Hao estimates that it won't take 6 games!

    But the Pacers' offense is indeed beautiful!

    "It's a pity that our lineup structure and play style are so different from the Pacers'. The Pacers' attack with space on the wings and smooth flow in the middle is so beautiful"

    If I hadn¡¯t personally played against the Pacers with a similar lineup before, and against the Pacers when Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson were at their peak, I really couldn¡¯t believe that the Pacers had Mark Jackson, Ray  The three major stars, Jim Miller and Rick Schmitz, are all over 32 years old, and Derek McKay, a first-class scorer who can play three frontcourt positions, has aged to a pure substitute.  It actually transformed and became the league's top offensive team.

    Regardless of the low scoring average, it is purely because the Pacers' average number of shots per game is too low. They average less than 76 shots per game, which is last in the league. Their opponents all average 79 shots per game.

    The Lakers average 87.9 shots per game, and the Heat average 78.2 shots per game. The Pacers take fewer shots than most purely defensive teams, so low scoring does not mean the Pacers have poor offensive ability.  , but because of the age of the core scorers, they need to increase efficiency by slowing down the pace.

    The Pacers' beautiful teamwork cannot be learned by the Lakers. They cannot learn something like they did when they faced the Heat, 76ers, Trail Blazers and other teams before. Zhang Hao felt a little regretful, but he still analyzed the Pacers carefully.  The team's offense, I hope the coaching staff can make better defensive responses next time they encounter it.

    In addition, Zhang Hao also had another regret

    "Bird's operation is really rubbish. It would be great to be the head coach as soon as possible. It is a waste of the peak period of the three major stars. Brown has built a good defense and then just picks the peaches. It is a waste of two years"

 Chapter 388 388. Don¡¯t compromise for the sake of MVP (4000 words, please vote for me)

    After playing the game against the Pacers, the Lakers took a day off, and on February 27th, they faced the challenge of the Denver Nuggets.

    Facing the Nuggets who raised their hands to let their opponents hit them at will, the Lakers were not polite. O'Neal played 21 minutes and made 9 of 12 shots. Plus 7 of 12 free throws, he clocked out at halftime with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block.  .

    Zhang Hao scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, and also clocked out at halftime.

    The Lakers played 11 people tonight. Except for Ben Wallace, who only scored 2 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block, everyone else scored more than 5 points, and 9 of the 11 players scored in double figures, and two of them scored in  20 points or more.

    The whole team was in a row, only Ben Wallace was able to dunk the ball. Three offensive rebounds were wasted, and the only two points were scored by taking advantage of the cake.

    The Lakers slaughtered the Nuggets with 41 points 131-90, improving their record to 48 wins and 7 losses.

    The Nuggets sent away Antonio McDyess to strengthen their performance, which indeed gave the Nuggets the ability to compete for last place. The Raptors' performance was so bad that they have now reached 10 wins and 46 losses.  Well, the Nuggets lost 7-50 after losing to the Lakers

    But with such a poor performance, some media expressed confusion after the game - the 76ers were so poor. At any rate, the coach controlled the rotation and the players fought hard on the court. John Lucas' performance kept the 76ers in a good position to win.  heart, so he was able to soar into the sky after winning Iverson and Duncan.

    The Nuggets¡¯ players have given up resistance, no player in the team has averaged more than 15 points per game, and they don¡¯t even bother to brush up the statistics. Even if they get Olowokandi, what¡¯s the use?

    ¡­¡­

    After the games in February, the Lakers achieved a record of 9 wins and 2 losses this month, which is quite impressive!

    Rather than being narrowed by other teams during this period, the Lakers have widened their record gap, which is indeed surprising.

    But it is precisely because of this that they have become a team that strives to win 70 games in people's minds.

    At noon on March 1st, after a day of rest in Los Angeles, the Lakers came to Phoenix. After two consecutive home games, March started with a wave of three consecutive away games, including away games against the Pacers and Wizards on the 4th and 5th.  The team is back-to-back. The first is the away game against the Suns on No. 2.

    As soon as they arrived in Phoenix, the Lakers received good news - after two months, O'Neal once again won the Player of the Month award!

    O'Neal played in all 11 games in February, averaging 29.7 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks per game. He shot an ultra-high 60.7% from the field and also had an outstanding performance of 60.7% from the free throw line, beating Rick Schmitz and Michael  -Jordan, Iverson, and Kidd won the Player of the Month award.

    Larry Bird is finally no longer the Coach of the Month winner. Hornets coach Dave Cowens won the Coach of the Month award in February.

    But Dave Cowens winning the Best Coach of the Month means that Larry Bird is one step closer to the Best Coach, because it is almost impossible for Dave Cowens to win the Best Coach of the Month again, even if he wins it again.  , the performance gap between the Hornets and the Pacers is also so big.

    The Silver Fox of the Lakers is at a slight disadvantage when it comes to competing for the best coach. There have been two 70-win appearances before, and Jackson failed to win the best coach in the two 70-win seasons, and just in the first two  season, so the advantage in this regard is not obvious.

    The main reason is that the Pacers rushed from the weakest to the first place in the Eastern Conference so fiercely

    The Rookie of the Month, I can¡¯t wait to see it ¨C it¡¯s Duncan every month.

    Duncan's performance was "sluggish" in February. The 76ers only had a record of 6 wins and 4 losses in 10 games. The record dropped to 40 wins and 17 losses, which has been tied by the Bulls.

    Duncan "only" averaged 17 points, 13 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 3.1 blocks per game in February. The 76ers' overall shooting performance deteriorated. They won 5 of the 9 games after the All-Star break, mostly relying on Iverson.  The offensive end was won by averaging 28.8 points per game.

    During the All-Star Weekend, each team has made relatively major adjustments. With enough time, of course, they must think carefully and find solutions to the problems that cannot be solved in the first half of the season.

    As a rookie, Duncan also fell into the rookie wall

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "New you jungler!"

    Zhang Hao looked at Duncan's 17+13 performance and was said to be on the rookie wall. He felt that the New York media was praising Duncan in a disguised way.

    New Yorkers are fickle. In the past two years, they all praised Zhang Hao. This year, with Duncan as a "new product", although the New York media will not abandon Zhang Hao as a hot topic figure, the intensity of praise for Duncan has obviously replaced him.  The previous Zhang Hao.

    A very important reason is that Zhang Hao renewed his contract with the Lakers for three years. He did not say anything about it, but used practical actions to declare his willingness to stay and play with the Lakers.

    O¡¯Neal wins Player of the Monthsp; is also quite interesting.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The top three in the Western Conference are hard to shake. The Lakers are 48-7, the Jazz are 43-14, and the SuperSonics are 42-15. All three teams are aiming for at least 60 wins.

    As for the Suns, the trio of Kidd, Anfernee Hardaway, and Antonio McDyess shines extremely brightly. Compared with last season, their strength has been improved qualitatively, but they are only aiming for a 55-win team.  The Trail Blazers and Spurs are competing for the fourth position in the Western Conference. They have played 56 games so far, with 37 wins and 19 losses. They are half a game behind the Trail Blazers, ranking fifth in the Western Conference, and leading by 36 games.  The Spurs have 20 losses and 1 win.

    The Lakers attach great importance to the Suns, or to the Suns, Trail Blazers, and Spurs. All three teams are likely to be ranked fourth or fifth, and all of them have reached the second round.  strength.

    The Suns¡¯ goal is definitely not just to finish fourth in the Western Conference and advance to the second round.

    Their core lineup has been initially constructed, but the depth of the lineup is not enough. The large-scale transactions have given away almost all high-quality role players. There are currently 8 players in the rotation, and although the role players are suitable, they are not that strong. They will go too far in the playoffs.  Disaster.

    But they have only one goal - to win the championship.

    Facing the Lakers, who are currently the strongest team in the league and will most likely be the strongest in the league in the next few years, the Suns will not think about what will happen in the future. They will launch an attack now.

    Without giving it a try, how do you know if you can see a ghost?

    Suns coach Danny Ainge thinks so, and their players are actively working towards this goal.

    At 6 o¡¯clock in the evening on March 2, the Lakers¡¯ away game against the Suns started.

    The Suns sent out a starting lineup of Kidd, George McLeod, Anfernee Hardaway, Antonio McDyess, and Mark Bryant.

    The Suns seized their advantage at the beginning. When Antonio McDyess won the jump ball, the Suns gained the initiative at the beginning. A half-quarter score of 17 to 11 beat the Lakers to a timeout first.

    O'Neal made two turnovers due to the Suns' rough attack, which greatly affected the Lakers' opening offense. One of the steals hit O'Neal on the wrist, but Kidd's body position was very good and the referee did not see it.  If you don¡¯t see it, you definitely don¡¯t have it.

    Fortunately, in the second half of the first quarter, Kenny Anderson's combination of sudden shooting and shooting led to a 16-13 victory. After the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Suns by only 3 points, 27-30.

    The tug-of-war began. In the second half of the second quarter, the Suns maintained a slight lead. After the official timeout of the second quarter, the Suns led the Lakers by 4 points, 48 ??to 44.

    At this time, the Lakers kicked off the star competition, and Zhang Hao began to exert his strength. After the official timeout, he turned around and broke through, causing a foul on Kidd who made up for it. He pushed the ball into the basket while being hugged by Kidd.  47 to 48, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 1 point.

    Anfernee Hardaway decisively stepped up to play singles, ensuring a better success rate. So far this season, Anfernee Hardaway's 53% shooting rate is much better than the Suns' overall offense.

    Zhang Hao and Anfernee Hardaway played very fiercely against Biao this time. The Silver Fox's expectations are not that high. He doesn't expect to overtake the score. He just wants to hold on to the score and let O'Neal rest.

    However, Zhang Hao relied on a series of back hits and two counterattacks with Fisher to help the Lakers chase the score to 62 at 11 minutes and 27 seconds of the second quarter!

    In the Suns' last attack of the first half, Kidd missed a three-pointer that was vacated from the top of the arc.

    Looking back, Zhang Hao took a step from the top of the arc, deflected Anfernee Hardaway, and then shot a three-pointerit went in!

    Relying on Zhang Hao¡¯s performance of 11 points and 2 assists in the half quarter, the Lakers went on an 18-14 run. After halftime, the Lakers led the Suns by 7 points, 65-62!

    When the Lakers' running-in period after the All-Star Weekend has passed, the Lakers' opponents will feel crazy if they are their season competitors

    Before the All-Star Weekend, the Suns had just played against the Lakers. At that time, Zhang Hao's post-up play was not so good!

 Chapter 389 389. Portland¡¯s Law (4000 words, please vote for me)

    With just one week off, Zhang Hao has already improved to this level?

    But thinking about Zhang Hao¡¯s amazing and even incredible cross-step changes and turnaround jump shots at the beginning of the season the Suns players felt that it was not so difficult to accept.

    Anfernee Hardaway thought about how Zhang Hao had just hit Denis Scott with an elbow from behind to avoid Denis Scott's defensive interference. He had enough space to turn around and take two long steps toward the baseline.  The split shot hit He felt like he was being tainted.

    O'Neal played briefly from 3 minutes and 41 seconds to 6 minutes and 22 seconds of the second quarter. Most of the events in the second quarter were rested. In the second half, O'Neal seized the score advantage and morale advantage gained by Zhang Hao's fierce attack and led the fighting spirit.  The high-spirited teammates scored 27-18 in the third quarter. After three quarters, the Lakers led the Suns by 12 points, 92-80!

    Facing the momentum of the Lakers, the Suns worked hard in the final quarter and scored 26-22, but in the end, the Suns lost to the Lakers 106-114 at home.

    Zhang Hao didn't score much in regular time. The period when he scored the most was 11 points in the second half of the second quarter. He scored 15 points in the rest of the time. He scored 26 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal in a single game.  With the data of 2 blocks, he is in very good condition and makes very few mistakes, 3 times in the game, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2 to 1.

    O'Neal performed poorly in the first half of the first quarter. He only scored 1 point on free throws in the first 6 minutes. However, after Kenny Anderson performed well, O'Neal became more relaxed offensively and scored 28 points in the next 27 minutes of playing time.  , his performance of 29 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks in a single game is still outstanding.

    Jason Williams once again aroused high interest from opponents. He played 25 minutes and scored 7 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, including 5 offensive rebounds in a single game, allowing shooters to shoot with confidence.

    Anfernee Hardaway scored a game-high 33 points tonight, and also had 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. O'Neal made 4 turnovers in a single game, two of which were from Anfernee Hardaway who is very familiar with him.  Like Kenny Smith of the Rockets, he shortened his steals, but when he scored soaringly in the second half of the second quarter, he only scored 5 points and was suppressed by Zhang Hao's 11 points, causing the Suns' advantage to decline.  .

    After defeating the Suns, the Lakers' record improved to 49 wins and 7 losses. They are just one victory away from winning 50 wins, setting a new record for the fastest 50 wins in team history!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao was a little regretful that he failed to trigger the skills related to Anfernee Hardaway's post-up turn and retreat when playing against the Suns.

    But after the last mission failed, the system prompted that the mission was not ended, which is good news.

    The morning after the game against the Suns, Zhang Hao flew east with the Lakers and came to Indianapolis.

    On March 4, six days later, we played against the Pacers again.

    This time against the Pacers, although the Lakers are away from home, they have two major advantages.

    First, the Lakers had just played against the Pacers and won, giving them a psychological advantage. Moreover, Zhang Hao analyzed the details of the Pacers' tactics in detail during the team meeting the day after the game against the Pacers.  , in 6 days, although the Suns were played in the middle, the Pacers, who are currently most likely to break out of the siege and reach the finals in the Eastern Conference, were prepared to do more, so there was a "chaos" against the Nuggets.  Just like Ben Wallace learning from Liu Xing.

    Second, the Lakers will start a back-to-back away game, while the Pacers will play a home-and-away back-to-back game. When the Lakers arrived in Indianapolis yesterday, the Pacers were still playing the Bulls in Chicago. Reggie Miller was the key player.  After scoring two mid-range shots in a row, the Pacers narrowly defeated the Bulls 99-95. The Pacers just returned to Indianapolis this morning.

    After the game started, the Lakers also seized these advantages. The Pacers were determined to kill the enemy, and their preparations were not bad, but their physical strength was affected, and the Lakers were equally well prepared

    With O'Neal's 35 points and 12 rebounds in a single game, Zhang Hao's 18 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, Kenny Anderson's 16 points and 7 assists, and Doug Christie's 21 points the Lakers defeated the Pacers 108-91 and won five consecutive games.  Win!

    Jaylen Rose performed very well tonight, playing 33 minutes and scoring 28 points, but except for him, Reggie Miller scored 22 points for the Pacers, and no one else scored in double figures.

    After this five-game winning streak, the Lakers in the Zhang Hao era surpassed Jerry West and Chamberlain¡¯s 50-9 record in the 1971-1972 season, the fastest 50-win record in team history!

    At the same time, 50 wins and 7 losses also tied the Bulls' record of the fastest 50 wins in NBA history in the 1995-96 season!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers are 50 wins and 7 losses, and they are in the spotlight, and they are playing well, and one person and one team are mentioned again.

    Sometimes, being too strong is not a good thing. No one wants to write a record.The difference was O'Neal with 24 points, Zhang Hao with 27 points, Rick Fox with 16 points, and Kenny Anderson also had 12 points and 9 assists.

    They were simply stunned by Webb's 9 mid-range shots in a single game and Juwan Howard's 6 mid-range shots in a single game.

    The Trail Blazers are also in good shape, playing well on both ends of the offense and defense, but their ability to hit 55 wins was hammered in front of the Lakers, who were gradually entering their best form and were furious after losing.  ¡­

    In the first quarter, the Lakers led 31-25 by 6 points. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers fought back 30-27, which was quite tough and narrowed the point difference to 3 points. At halftime, the Lakers led 58-55 by 3 points.  .

    In the third quarter, the Lakers scored 35 points and the Trail Blazers also scored 30 points. Their performance was really not bad. However, at the beginning of the last quarter, the Lakers went 15-2 and the Trail Blazers did not score a single goal in the half quarter.  Two points from free throwsthe Lakers opened the point difference to 21 points!

    Although the Trail Blazers scored 20-13 in the second half of the fourth quarter and recovered 7 points, the Lakers still defeated the Trail Blazers 121-107, improving their record to 51 wins and 8 losses!

    This time, the Trail Blazers failed to hold on, and their record fell to 39 wins and 21 losses, falling to sixth place in the Western Conference. They maintained fifth place in the Western Conference for more than a month, but they still failed to hold on.

    The Trail Blazers performed well after the All-Star Weekend, but they could not withstand the continuous blowback from the Lakers and Bulls. After the All-Star Weekend, the Trail Blazers played a total of 12 games, 3 of which were against the Lakers and Bulls.  The Bulls were all defeated by the rampaging opponents.

    They were implicated for no reason, but who made them so lucky? When the Lakers and Bulls needed to vent, they happened to show up

    Nash had 7 points and 11 assists tonight, and Rasheed Wallace had 16 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. They all performed very well, but they were also miserable - "Why are we the ones injured again!"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Due to the tragic experience of the Trail Blazers, the media came up with a gimmick-Portland's Law.

    When the Trail Blazers are about to play the Lakers or Bulls, the Lakers should break the record or lose.

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t know what the Trail Blazers think.

    But Zhang Hao knows what his teammates think about playing against the Trail Blazers

    Bad luck!

    Anyway, I don¡¯t want to continue playing against the Trail Blazers for the time being.

    Fortunately, this season¡¯s regular season games between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers or the Bulls and the Trail Blazers have already been played.

    Portland¡¯s Law, it is temporarily impossible to verify whether it is true or false this season.

    After a day of rest after playing the game against the Trail Blazers, the Lakers ushered in their sixth game of the season on March 9, against the Spurs.

    The Spurs are doing very well this season. They still have a chance to win 55 games. They are currently 40 wins and 21 losses, half a game ahead of the Trail Blazers and ranked fifth in the Western Conference.

    So far, except for missing 22 games, Pippen has nothing wrong with him. He averages 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He has a salary of 2.78 million U.S. dollars. What kind of bicycle do you want? As for the contract of 88 million U.S. dollars for the next 6 years  , that will happen later.

    The Spurs have actually performed better than the Trail Blazers and Suns from December to now, but they were relatively weak at the beginning. It took Pippen a while to get used to it, but Pippen is indeed excellent and he has integrated in and performed better.  It's getting better and better, and he is still the league's top organizational forward. David Robinson has averaged 24.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game so far this season. Pippen has played a big role.

    But tonight the Spurs failed to secure the fifth place in the Western Conference that they had just rushed to.

    Although David Robinson scored 23 points and 10 rebounds, Pippen scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Vinnie Negro scored 14 points, and Elliott scored 8 points, no one else on the Spurs scored more  5 points.

    O'Neal scored 23 points, Zhang Hao 17 points, Kenny Anderson 17 points, Jason Williams 7 points and 11 rebounds, Piakowsky 11 points, Rick Fox 14 pointsThe Lakers defeated the Spurs 97-84  Team!

    The Lakers have been in good shape recently, and they were in good shape when they lost to the Wizards, but the other team was in great shape.

    After 60 games, the Lakers have a staggering record of 52 wins and 8 losses!

    The Lakers at this time are just like the Bulls in the past two years. Teams that urgently need wins to move up and teams that need wins to consolidate their rankings do not want to encounter them.

    The Pistons don¡¯t want to meet the Lakers now.

    After more than half the season, the chaotic situation outside the top four in the Eastern Conference has finally become clear.

    The Pacers, Bulls, 76ers, and Heat dominate the top half of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Hornets and the Hawks, Cavaliers, and Knicks are competing fiercely for rankings. Currently, they are the Eastern Conference  5th to 8th.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The 5th to 13th place had similar records initially, but the gap gradually widened starting in mid-January.

    So far, the Bucks and Celtics have basically fallen out of the playoff contenders, while the Magic and Raptors continue to be at the bottom.

    The Pistons, Nets, and Wizards still have hope of making the playoffs.

    Currently, the Pistons have played 62 games, with 30 wins and 32 losses. After three-quarters of the season, they are finally no longer out of reach of a 50% winning rate.

    Grant Hill feels that his life is miserable. So far this season, he has taken 16.5 shots per game, made 8.1 hits, and averaged 21.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Plath's version of Pippen.

    It turns out that the Jordan the team gave him was Jerry Stackhouse

    When the team did not introduce scoring outsiders, Grant Hill already missed Alan Houston. Now, Grant Hill directly wants to kneel to the Pistons management.

    Since Jerry McCloskey gradually faded away from the Pistons management, the Pistons management seems to have made a mistake.

    However, tonight's away game against the Lakers, Jerry Stackhouse performed pretty well. He made 8 of 18 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists.  .

    But there is a problem. The Lakers often choose to leave Jerry Stackhouse open to flank Lynch Hunter or Joe Dumars and Grant Hill who are holding the ball.

    Jerry Stackhouse often shoots in the open, or cuts to the basket to catch the ball unguarded and causes a foul.

    Grant Hill was heavily defended and still made 8 of 17 shots and 10 of 12 free throws to score 26 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, but the rest of the Pistons couldn't

    Although Grant Hill and Jerry Stackhouse scored 50 points together, the Pistons only scored 89 points.

    106 to 89, the Lakers continue to advance!

    People¡¯s thoughts will change according to the existing situation.

    In the original time and space, Grant Hill had the idea of ????leaving the team and joining others in the summer of 2000 after Duncan and O'Neal won the championship.

    Joe Dumars, who had just retired at that time, became the general manager of the Pistons. He met Grant Hill's request and sent Grant Hill to him almost for nothing. That summer, he freed up 29 million salary space and traded  After acquiring Grant Hill, the Magic can still sign two maximum-salary contracts.

    At that time, the Pistons only needed to return Keith Atkins, a rookie who averaged 9.5 points and 3.7 assists per game, and Ben Wallace, a blue-collar player who averaged 4.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.

    Joe Dumars¡¯ operation is to fulfill Grant Hill¡¯s needs, so that Grant Hill can go to a team that can sign two top-paid players immediately.

    It can be described as extremely loyal.

    However, the result was quite unexpected. Grant Hill was unlucky, but Joe Dumars' character was cheated after the deal, and Ben Wallace was moved to another job. Two years later, in May 2002  , Ben Wallace became the third team + first defense + best defensive player.

    In the summer of 2002, Billups was acquired for free, and Jerry Stackhouse was used to rob Jordan in exchange for Hamilton. In the 2003-04 season, Rasheed Wallace was acquired for free

    Won a championship smoothly.

    As the only player in the Bad Boys whose character cannot be questioned, Joe Dumars was loyal and got the championship core Ben Wallace by mistake.

    In the original time and space, Grant Hill couldn't help but want to leave the team until he struggled for 6 years.

    Now Grant Hill is watching Zhang Hao win the championship, watching Anfernee Hardaway and Kidd team up, watching Iverson and Duncan shine as the top picks

    With 53 wins and 8 losses, the Lakers continue to make great progress.

    After the Lakers won three consecutive victories, they have surpassed the best record that the Rockets, eighth in the Western Conference, can theoretically achieve.

    Current RocketsSo?

    With 54 wins and 8 losses, who can still have no ideas?

    You must have an idea!

    Arriving in Vancouver, Kenny Anderson discussed with O'Neal and Rick Fox, and called his teammates together in the afternoon to discuss the next back-to-back game between the SuperSonics and the Suns.

    As for the Grizzlies in the middle, just work hard. This is an opponent that cannot be defeated even if it is bloody. Even if the Lakers are in ridiculously poor condition, the Grizzlies will find ways to play even worse.

    Just the day before yesterday, on the 12th, in the top 32 of the NCAA Basketball Championship, the Duke University Blue Devils met the championship favorites, the University of Utah Utah.

    Kobe Bryant scored 14 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 6 steals and 4 blocks to help the Blue Devils beat Utah 77-59.

    Although it was only a college game, Kobe's performance reminded the media of that joke - let Michael play center.

    Originally, Olowokandi, Mike Bibby, Reeve LaFrentz, one of the Kansas double stars, Jamison and Carter, the North Carolina double star, Arizona Elvis Mike Bibby and others have already  Making this draft very popular, even if Odom, Artest, Baron Davis, Francis and others made it clear that they would not participate in the draft this year, many teams still failed. Of course, Kobe also contributed to it.  After this game, the situation became even more violent

    It seems that the 1998 draft is too similar to the 1984 draft. The favorite for the No. 1 pick is an African genius who only started to play basketball in college. The 23-year-old Olowokandi averaged 31 minutes per game in his senior season and scored 23.2 points.  He scored 12.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. He has excellent physical condition and mature skills.

    In addition, there is Reeve LaFrentz, a top three pick inside, Jamison, an all-around power forward, and Jason, whose passing performance in college is comparable to Stockton.  Williamsand a shooting guard who can lead his team to a championship in college!

    Since everyone loves the center, then choose Kobe to play the center!

    For a time, Duke University became the most "favorite" university among NBA fans, and the Duke Blue Devils became the team with the highest support among NBA fans.

    Because Kobe Bryant said that he would only choose to participate in the NBA draft after leading Duke University to win the championship.

    The Grizzlies have currently played 63 games, with 15 wins and 48 losses. They are far behind the last place and basically cannot catch up. Whether the Nuggets can get 10 wins is uncertain.

    ????????????????? However, it¡¯s not just once or twice that the last-place finisher fails to get the No. 1 pick, the Grizzlies still want to give it a try.

    Yesterday, the Grizzlies played the Raptors at home, and Canada's two major NBA teams put on a good show - controlling the court.

    As an opponent of the Grizzlies, the Lakers just need to not relax and fight hard.

    The key is the next game. This back-to-back will most likely affect their goal of breaking the 70-win record.

    However, when Kenny Anderson asked Zhang Hao to discuss the next back-to-back, Zhang Hao had to go out for something

    "Probably I'm going to find Rahim"

    Kenny Anderson didn¡¯t think much about it. The group of people at the Adidas training camp in 1995 had long since become the benchmark for talent in this era. There were too many talents in that Adidas Classic.

    As for Zhang Hao not participating in this small meeting of players, then don't participate. When they played against the Sonics and Suns before, Zhang Hao had already helped the team analyze the two teams. If Zhang Hao is not here, they can just discuss small-scale cooperation this time.  Well, it's not just about this time. We won't be studying the Grizzlies in the next time. We will definitely be studying the next two opponents.

    Silver Fox learned that the players had independently held a player meeting to discuss the next back-to-back matters. He was very satisfied with the efforts of the players and ran to the conference room for a walk.

    ??Which coach wouldn¡¯t want to break the historical record?

    Anyway, Silver Fox really wants to do it. With the team members working so hard, he feels that he has a great chance!

    But after wandering around, his eyelids jumped, and he suddenly realized that someone was missing!

    Where did Zhang Hao go?

    Silver Fox asked about it and got the answer from Kenny Anderson. Zhang Hao had something to go out.

    "Waitcould it benoI'm definitely overthinking"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 391 391. Open the door!  (4000 words, please vote for me!)

    Throughout the day, there were no other disturbances. The preparation discussion in the afternoon was very successful. The discussion was always preparing in the ideal direction.

    Although the temporary situation during the game is often different from what was prepared, if you have made enough preparations, it will be easier to find a solution when encountering an unexpected situation. If this is not possible, you still have to rely on on-the-spot reaction, but on-the-spot reaction  Reaction must also be based on strength and previous preparations.

    When it was time for dinner, Zhang Hao returned to the hotel. Recently, when the Lakers play away games, they often have dinner together.

    This is a constructive suggestion put forward by Jason Williams, saying that more communication between teammates should be promoted.

    ¡°At the end of the day, playing basketball is their job.

    "After work, Americans rarely communicate with friends except with friends. This situation is also very common in the NBA.

    The small group of the Lakers is very clear, O'Neal, Brian Shaw, and Fisher are one group.

    ? Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Jason Williams, and Ben Wallace are in the same group.

    Doug Christie, Brent Barry, Bogues, Corey Blount, Sean Lukes and others are playing better

    Rick Fox is a social butterfly and has a good relationship with everyone.

    Under normal circumstances, except for everyone going out to get together after the game, we also have to play with teammates in private, in small groups.

    There are also people like Zhang Hao and Doug Christie who are as indifferent as religious believers in private and rarely go to nightclubs.

    So when Jason Williams put forward this suggestion, people like O'Neal, Rick Fox, Brian Shaw and others who liked liveliness strongly supported it. So when playing away games, basically every away game, they would gather together to eat  Then a dinner or two.

    The coaching staff occasionally participates in it. Tonight, the Silver Fox came to the hotel restaurant to have dinner with the players.

    Seeing that Zhang Hao did not skip the team dinner that he had already arranged, the Silver Fox breathed a sigh of relief. This damn kid should really have something to do. As Kenny Anderson speculated, he should be with the old man Rahim.  Get together with friends.

    I heard that Zhang Hao is still in contact with old teammates such as Ceballos, Van Exel, George Lynch, etc. The Silver Fox never thought that this damn kid looks cold, but he is quite emotional

    "As long as people are safe, it's fine. Running around when you go abroad is a damn kid"

    After dinner, Silver Fox returned to the room and was preparing to sort out the competition arrangements for the next half month.

    Unlike players who only need to focus on the present, as a coach, you need to make more preparations earlier, mainly in terms of rotation.

    Silver Fox knows very well that it cannot be injured at this time, nor can it cause excessive fatigue to the team members.

    Counting the back-to-back games against the SuperSonics and Suns, there are three more back-to-back games this month. It¡¯s a pity that we don¡¯t have four games in five days, otherwise it will be even more difficult.

    After sorting it out, Yinhu turned on the TV, preparing to watch the news, divert his attention, and discuss it with the teaching assistants later.

    Turning on the TV and tuning into Time Warner Cable Sports, it happened to be the 8 o'clock basketball show on Saturday night.

    During the NFL season, if it is not a live day on Time Warner Cable Sports, this program will be postponed to 10 p.m.

    From the end of the NFL season, the early part of the MLB season to the end of the NBA season, at 8pm on Saturdays during this period, if there is no basketball game, there will be basketball programs hosted by Hubie Brown and Bill Walton.

    Silver Fox likes to watch Hubie Brown commentating on games and doing shows. The two are basically head coaches of the same era, and Hubie Brown is not much older than Silver Fox.

    After a simple opening, Hubie Brown began to introduce the current NBA situation.

    Listening to Hubie Brown praising the performance of the Lakers, the Silver Fox was in a good mood, but he praised it too much tonight, right?

    Finally, Hubie Brown finished blowing a lot of rainbow farts. Silver Fox was waiting to hear Hubie Brown talk about other teams. Then, he heard Hubie Brown¡¯s passionate introduction and saw the TV screen.  The person in the middle, and then

    In the TV screen, Zhang Hao exchanged greetings with legendary coach Hubie Brown and legendary superstar Bill Walton, briefly talked about the current situation of the Lakers, and then said:

    "For two years, the best record in NBA history was not our Lakers. I was not used to it, and gradually became intolerable. It is time for us to get the best record in history back."

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Open the door, open the door, don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are inside"

    Open the door!  Open the door"

    "Del, don't be angry, AxThe players have finished playing.

    According to the usual situation, Zhang Hao and Raheem would get together before the game, but Zhang Hao was busy yesterday.

    "Akers, you guys are stronger. I'm so envious. I really hope the Grizzlies will disband soon." Rahim spoke more and more directly.

    "Disband?"

    "Yes, the Grizzlies have been a team for three years. Except for the first few games of the first season, the attendance rate has not been more than half. I think it will be disbanded. Maybe I can go to a team in a big city by then."

    "I think it's unlikely. I heard that your boss wants to move the team back to the United States."

    "Oh? Where to go? A big city?"

    "It seems to be the largest city in Tennessee. I heard that it is selecting a site to build an arena."

    ¡°Tennessee, where is it?¡±

    ¡°The central and eastern region of the United States, next to North Carolina and Georgia.¡±

    "I remembered, could it be Memphis?"

    "right."

    ""

    Rahim feels life is so hopeless.

    Although Garnett and Marbury are in small cities, with Gugliotta as a teammate, they once had the strength to win 55 games; Iverson had Duncan in a big city, which is enviable; and this guy in front of him has already won 55 games.  FMVP is in hand, and now it has announced in a high profile that it will regain the regular season win record

    And he, Rahim, is in a team that doesn¡¯t even want to win, the management is in chaos, and the coaching staff doesn¡¯t have a clear goal

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Lakers and Grizzlies started.

    The Lakers are not well prepared. The players just need to play hard on the court.

    This makes Grizzlies star Raheem quite excited. Other strong teams play them casually, but few are as serious as the Lakers.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Grizzlies played pretty well tonight, Bryant Reeves had a pretty good performance against O'Neal.

    Bryant Levis, a 213 cm, 125 kg white traditional center, according to the original draft report, is a floor-level traditional center with comprehensive offensive skills and a solid body. In 1995, at the age of 22, he was selected with the sixth overall pick.  Selected by the Grizzlies, he averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds in his rookie year.

    In the first half of last season, he averaged 18+10 per game. He received a five-year, $50 million contract extension in advance, and the contract was extended to the 2002-03 season. After completing the contract extension, the situation immediately changed, and it directly became an average of 18+10 per game.  At the 15+6 level, he averaged 16+8 per game last season, and this season is basically at the same level.

    The offensive strength is still very strong, but when it comes to defense, he is quite bad. He is basically the worst shot blocker among the large-tonnage centers, averaging less than 1 block in more than 30 minutes per game.

    Tonight, Bryant Levis broke out against O'Neal, scoring 26 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. O'Neal went on a rampage in a single game, scoring 38 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks, and stole the rebound from Jason Williams.  many¡­¡­

    With Bryant Levis performing well, Raheem scored 28 points and 7 assists. The two led the team to 108 points in a single game.

    Unfortunately, the two leaders were able to hold on to the score during the period when O'Neal and Kenny Anderson were working hard, but at the critical moment, Zhang Hao and Brent Barry scored by cutting around the baseline for 3 consecutive rounds. In a 6-3 run at the critical moment, the Lakers  The lead was extended to 5 points. Even though Raheem finally hit a tip-in to increase the Grizzlies' score to 108 points, the Grizzlies still lost to the Lakers 108-111 in the end.

    O'Neal scored 38 points and Zhang Hao scored 19 points and 7 assists. The Lakers won the victory without any danger and became the first team to break 55 wins this season!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers broke the Bulls' record for the fastest 55 wins in NBA history. Jordan did it as expected.

    The day after the match between the Lakers and Grizzlies, at 4:30 pm on March 16, the Bulls played at home against the Raptors, the second-last team in the league.

    Originally, against such an opponent, Jordan should have played for more than 20 minutes and it would be over. Jackson would also reduce his playing time in these games.

    But today Jordan just doesn¡¯t!

    He played for 35 minutes, making 15 of 23 shots, plus 8 of 9 free throws, scoring 38 points. He suddenly scored the same number of points as O'Neal scored last night, and opened the point difference to 30 points before leaving the game.  rest.

    Some media ridiculed that Jordan was afraid that Zhang Hao would steal the scoring title in the last game last year, and that he was afraid that O'Neal would steal the scoring title secretly this year. Jordan has averaged 30.8 points per game so far this season, and O'Neal has averaged 28.7 points per game, with less than 20 games left.  Yes, the probability of being robbed is low, but in order to prevent last year's 81-game lead from being robbed in the last game, Jordan started to play dirty.

    Jordan will score as many points as O'Neal scores. If he doesn't score, he loses!

    "Detrev, can you believe that in the era we played in, we would have 70 wins three years in a row?"

    "Can you believe that a rookie won a first team? Oh, we had that in the last era too."

    "Can you believe that a 20-year-old boy won FMVP? It seems that it happened in the previous era."

    "But the rookie first team and the 20-year-old FMVP are actually together! This guy even won the scoring title!"

    ¡°Damn, there might be another rookie this year!¡±

    "By the way, we also saw a rookie win the All-Star vote for two consecutive years"

    "Do you think we are lucky or unlucky? We are in such a crazy era, with the Bad Boys, the Bulls Dynasty, the Big Dream's two consecutive championships, and now Remy Martin is in charge I feel that I am really honored to be able to play in this crazy era.  Playing in such an era"

    The game against the Lakers was about to start, and the visiting team players were coming on the field. Schrempf listened to the trash talk king Payton and did not answer.

    The discussion was lively the first time he answered, the second time was fine, and the third time he was even willing to answer the question Schrempf had heard Peyton say this countless times.

    In just these two or three days, his ears were almost calloused.

    As a German, Schrempf is not as aloof and aloof as the future representative of German basketball, the Silver Horn King.

    Schrempf is a gentle, generous and cheerful leader who takes good care of young players and is very popular with his teammates. His support rate among local fans in Seattle is also very good.

    But no matter how good a person is, if he is always used as a trash can to vent his frustrations and complain about the unfairness of the world, and it is the same person and the same thing over and over again he will feel irritated.

    Fortunately, Payton has always liked to complain, and Schrempf is used to it.

    When the Lakers players came on the field, the crowd burst into boos. Who told a certain No. 8 player who did not want to be named last year to say that he did not want to come to this city to play again last year

    After entering the stadium, there was also a nagging person next to Zhang Hao.

    "Akers, do you think I can handle Payton? The last game was so miserable"

    "able."

    "It's hard to guard against Baker or Schrempf."

    "It doesn't matter, we have Shaq."

    "Oh, yes, but Shaq is under too much pressure!"

    ""

    Zhang Hao said silently that every time he played against the Sonics, Kenny Anderson was very nervous.

    But there is no way, Payton is too much for Kenny Anderson.

    Fortunately, although Kenny Anderson is nervous, he is not afraid, but he will play more cautiously and conservatively.

    Although it is difficult to make meritorious deeds, mistakes are rarely made.

    This is enough. There are only a few point guards in the league who can face Payton without making mistakes.

    At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Lakers' away game against the SuperSonics started.

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Ben Wallace and O'Neal.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Payton, Jose Hawkins, Schrempf, Vin Baker, and Ratliff.

    O'Neal won the jump ball and then fed Ben Wallace an alley-oop dunk. The Lakers' defensive plan for a fierce battle began!

    More than two minutes into the game, Ben Wallace fouled Schrempf who rushed to the basket and sent Schrempf to the free throw line. The Silver Foxes immediately made personnel adjustments and replaced Ken with Fisher.  Neil Anderson, continue to strengthen defense.

    Now the Lakers' tactical strategy has begun to adjust towards the playoffs.

    Tonight¡¯s game against the SuperSonics started with a test, with Zhang Hao¡¯s ferocious single defense, supplementary defense, and assist defense leading the team to strengthen the confrontation and test the referee¡¯s whistleblower standards.

    After determining the scale of the whistle, decisively continue to strengthen the confrontation.

    If we really want to play the Sonics according to the normal way, once the Sonics shoot as well as they did in the last match, then the Lakers will be very passive.

    The Silver Foxes regard the Sonics as their strong playoff rivals and imaginary rivals in the Western Conference Finals, so they naturally have to think of ways to do it.

    There is no need to be so anxious. After this game, the Lakers will have to play against the Sonics. In this game, they can still try to use a balanced offensive and defensive style to deal with the Sonics. That will make the game easier. Last time  The loss of 12 three-pointers by the Sonics was also related to the Lakers' own poor shooting experience at that stage.

    But whoever made that dead kid think that the team was going too smoothly recently had to go out and cause trouble, and made it clear that they would break the 70-win record.

    It¡¯s okay for the weak teams, they didn¡¯t fight back.??, yes in this regard, but most of the Lakers players are in their prime or in the prime of their careers. After winning the game last night, they didn't just hang out after the game like they usually do when they go to Seattle to play. Today they have to play against Anfernee, an opponent that O'Neal cares about very much.  -Hardaway, everyone really had a good rest during the day, adjusted well, and recovered well.

    Especially Zhang Hao was not affected at all.

    But the exhaustion of shooting by the iron-blooded style continued to tonight The Lakers trailed the Suns by as many as 11 points 15-26 in the first quarter!

    In the second quarter, the Silver Foxes did not send out O'Neal, who was replaced in the 8th minute of the first quarter, but instead sent out a combination of Fisher, Brent Barry, Brian Shaw, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao  .

    Silver Fox has already begun to make preparations to give up.

    But in the second quarter, Brent Barry started his performance In the second quarter, he made three three-pointers in a single quarter. Nothing else. He scored three three-pointers and scored 9 points, helping Zhang Hao open up the space.  Got it!

    Zhang Hao turned around and hit the basket in the half where Brent Barry was.

    In the second quarter, the Lakers relied on Brent Barry's 9 points and Zhang Hao's 7 points and 3 assists. They scored 27-22 in a single quarter and chased the score to 42-48, only 6 points behind!

    Brent Barry's explosion was not over yet. He performed even better in the third quarter. He made a pass and dunk from the baseline, a cut-in catch and a high throw, and a three-pointer from the corner. He scored 7 points in a row to help the Lakers.  The team took the initiative at the start of the third quarter.

    In the third quarter, Brent Barry scored 12 points in a single quarter. At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers tied the score 70-70. In the third quarter, they beat the Suns 28-22!

    It is impossible for the Suns to guard against a pure role player. They still have to flank Zhang Hao and shrink to block O'Neal. Brent Barry will always have a chance, and then, he scored 21 points in two quarters

    By the end of the quarter, Brent Barry kept up his efforts, scoring 13 points in a single quarter and 0 points in the first quarter. In the next three quarters, Brent Barry scored 34 points!

    The Suns played well and were looking to overwhelm the Lakers from the start. This was supposed to be the Lakers' second back-to-back performance and loss, but Brent Barry saved the Lakers' crisis.  !

    With 11 of 17 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws, Brent Barry scored 34 points in a single game, breaking his career-high record of 30 points in a single game set in his rookie season, leading the way.  The Lakers reversed the Suns 99-90 and improved their record to 57 wins and 8 losses!

    Zhang Hao scored only 14 points tonight, O'Neal had 12 points and 13 rebounds, Doug Christie had 10 points, and Kenny Anderson had 17 points. The Lakers' second-highest scoring player was only half of Brent Barry!

    Zhang Hao took advantage tonight, and 7 of the 12 assists he got were created by Brent Barry.

    With 14 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 blocks in a single game, Zhang Hao broke out with Brent Barry and scored his 5th triple-double of the season, tying his personal record of 5 triple-doubles in a single season last season.  .

    So, the post-game interview after the Lakers won their second consecutive nationally broadcast game was not one of the Remy Martins, but Brent Barry, a white man who can also fly!

    Scored a triple-double, but failed to win the post-game interview Looking at Brent Barry who was excitedly accepting Barkley's questions, Zhang Hao was not envious at all, not at all, not at all

    So far in the season, Zhang Hao has clearly felt the difference between this season and last season.

    Last season, they also had many players step up when necessary, but last season it was always superstars or former superstars who stepped up.

    This year, as Barkley said, role players can also stand up at critical moments.

    This is definitely a huge benefit!

    In the past, Zhang Hao could occasionally see certain little people from other teams step up to save the team, but this kind of thing rarely happened with the Lakers.

    Finally, they have today!  In these two games, Ben Wallace and Brent Barry, two players with relatively low importance on the inside and outside, played a key role!

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao walked towards Barkley and Brent Barry

    Barkley and Brent Barry are having a cordial and friendly post-game interview.

    Suddenly, a tall and handsome man walked between the two of them and the camera, used the camera as a mirror, and fiddled with his short inches.

    Seemingly noticing someone, the man turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "Sorry, I'm passing by, you continue."

    "Hiss"

    Looking at Zhang Hao, who had wandered around for a while and turned to walk towards the tunnel, Barkley and Brent Barry took two breaths!

    Damn it!  Zhang Hao actually came to take advantage of their camera!

 Chapter 393 393. Mr. O'Neal, do you want MVP?  (8500 words please vote monthly)

    ??????? This man, when luck comes, he can¡¯t stop it.

    After returning home to play a game, the Lakers left for an away game the next day. On March 20, the Lakers played the Jazz away from home. It was the third game in four days. The Lakers were not in good shape, mainly in terms of shooting.  The whole game scored 93 points, but the Jazz only scored 80 points!

    For the Lakers, Zhang Hao had 24 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, O'Neal had 18 points, 16 rebounds and 6 blocks, Kenny Anderson had 14 points and 3 assists, Rick Fox had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Jason Williams had 5 points.  10 rebounds. Except for these five people, no one scored or rebounded in double figures.

    But for the Jazz, Stockton made 7 of 13 shots and scored 17 points, which was already the Jazz's highest score in the game. Malone made 5 of 16 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws, and only scored 13 points and 12 rebounds.  A rare downturn was encountered by the Lakers.

    After defeating the Jazz, the Lakers' win count increased to 58. The Spurs, who had lost 24 games, and the Trail Blazers, who were at a disadvantage against the Lakers, lost their theoretical chance to reach first place in the Western Conference.  .

    On March 22, the Lakers came to challenge the Kings away from home.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Lakers continue to be in a sluggish state tonight, while the Kings, under the leadership of Richmond, played very well and are ready to beat the Lakers again.

    ???????????????????????????? However, the Lakers are in bad shape, and their performance is not much different from the Kings, who are in excellent form.

    O'Neal scored 33 points and 13 rebounds, and Kenny Anderson scored 19 points and 6 assists. The Lakers led the team in a close match with the Kings. However, except for these two people and Zhang Hao, who scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 4 rebounds, the Lakers did not win this game.  Others scored in double figures.

    Richmond hit a key three-pointer with 7 seconds left. The Kings went from trailing the Lakers by two points at 92-94 to leading the Lakers by one point at 95-94.

    Zhang Hao made only 5 of his 14 previous shots, with a hit rate of less than 40%. In the last attack, the Silver Fox arranged for Zhang Hao to shoot. Rick Fox served O'Neal, and O'Neal passed to Zhang Hao, who was running along the extended line of the free throw line. Zhang Hao took the ball.  When he got the ball, he turned over and shot a jumper against Collis Williams, also a forward in the class of 1995

    The ball fell into the frame with 0.5 seconds left!

    The Kings called a timeout to set up the final attack. With 0.5 seconds left, the ball could not be thrown out, and the final whistle had sounded.

    Relying on Zhang Hao's mid-range shot, he narrowly defeated the Kings 96-95 away from home, winning his 59th victory of the season, continuing to set a new record for wins in the same game in NBA history!

    This is Zhang Hao¡¯s third buzzer-beater this season, and his 11th buzzer-beater in the past three regular seasons of his career. Counting only the regular season, Zhang Hao¡¯s goal determines the outcome when both sides have no other goals.  The winning goal, 11 of 14 shots, nearly 80% hit rate!

    This game was not broadcast live across the United States, but there was a state broadcast on NBC California. When the Lakers fell behind by 1 point with 7 seconds left, the commentator shouted, "Akers is going to kill"

    For such a high-quality fan, Zhang Hao did not slap him in the face and decisively killed the game.

    ??????????????????????????I improved the shooting situation in this game to 6 of 15 shots, and the shooting rate reached 40%, which is not easy

    ??The picture of Zhang Hao calmly turning and walking to the bench after making the buzzer-beating shot. This time, the home fans of the Kings in Sacramento, the capital of California, could not help but cheer for Zhang Hao at the end of the game

    ¡­¡­

    Every time the Lakers win a game, they are setting a new record for the most wins in the same number of games held by the Bulls.

    Corresponding to the news that the Lakers continue to set records, Jordan's rampage on the Bulls' side is time and time again.

    Since Zhang Hao entered the NBA, March in the NBA has also become crazy.

    In the 1995-96 season, rookie Zhang Hao led his team to hit the first place in the Western Conference and the best team at the end of the season; last season, Zhang Hao hit the scoring champion at the end of the season; this season, he challenges the best record in history

    However, the NCAA's March Madness still attracts a lot of attention, but it just cannot stabilize the NBA during this period like in previous years.

    On March 23, the eight games of the top 16 of the NCAA Basketball Championship have been played one after another, and another large number of talents were eliminated in March Madness.

    Wang Zhizhi¡¯s Georgetown University and Pierce¡¯s University of Kansas both finished in the top 16.

    After being eliminated, the two announced that they would participate in this year's draft.

    As a center, Wang Zhizhi played 36 games in his junior season, averaging 16.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game, shooting 53.3% from the field, and 32.7% from three-point range. In the 33 division games in which Wang Zhizhi played,  , Georgetown University has a record of 25 wins and 8 losses, which is pretty good despite not grabbing any talented high school students in the past two years. Wang Zhizhi has also received the attention of many scouts this season.

    &nbsp?Just like no one was discussing who should be selected with the first pick in last year's draft, no one is discussing who the winner of this season's Rookie of the Month award will be.

    The most important award - Reggie Miller, Antonio Davis, and Dale Davis won the Player of the Month award in March together.

    It is appropriate, but this makes O'Neal and Jordan, who have won the first four Player of the Month awards this season, form a 2-2 tie in terms of Player of the Month.

    O'Neal has a good record and good statistics, but Jordan's statistics are equally good and his record is not bad. Moreover, Jordan is regarded as leading the team alone this season, while O'Neal has three All-Stars in front of and behind him.

    O'Neal is a little crazy thinking about this. He must like this situation with so many good teammates, but these good teammates are actually "holding back" in his pursuit of MVP!

    Zhang Hao said: "Don't worry, as long as you can break the Bulls record, Mr. O'Neal has a high probability of winning the third player of the month and MVP. I will help you. You only need to do one thing."

    O¡¯Neal quickly asked: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    "You score more points in every game, like when you play against weak teams, get high scores, the higher the better."

    "Are you asking me to compete with Jordan for the scoring title like you did? No way! I averaged 28.5 points per game, and he averaged 30.6 points per game. I played 69 games. Even if he averages 30.6 points per game next, I won't.  You have to score 42.3 points per game to tie him, and I¡¯m not you, so I can¡¯t do it, and I¡¯m so tired.¡±

    Seeing O'Neal actually calculating math problems with decimal points with his fingers, Zhang Hao exclaimed, "It's amazing!"

    It¡¯s just that I¡¯m still tired even if I want to do big things!

    Zhang Hao shook his head: "No, I just see that Mr. Jordan seems to have slacked off in guarding the scoring champion recently. Give him some motivation."

    After adjusting his mood, O'Neal asked: "Just for this?"

    "yes!"

    ¡°¡­¡± O¡¯Neal really couldn¡¯t imagine how someone could be so indebted!

    "Also, Mr. O'Neal, if your data is better and you perform well at the end of the season, your probability of winning the MVP will be higher. It doesn't matter if my score is lower, it won't be much lower anyway."

    This is a real thing, but O'Neal still feels that Zhang Hao is incompetent.

    Regardless of whether the little boss owes Bian or not, this involves his own interests. O'Neal asked: "Why do you want to help me?"

    "Mr. O'Neal, you are my teammate! If my teammates have a chance to win MVP, of course I will help."

    O'Neal almost believed what he said, but he couldn't think of any other purpose Zhang Hao had because he was definitely the one who got the benefits.

    Always feeling that something was wrong, O'Neal said: "You help me, and I will help you. When we play against those weak teams, I will help you block the position and you grab the rebound? Or should I throw it after I receive the pass from you and help you?"  Get assists? Just get a triple-double!"

    "Uhno need, no, thank you."

    "No, it must be! Otherwise I will feel that something is wrong."

    ""

    ¡°Okay, okay,¡± Zhang Hao nodded and agreed.

    At this time, O'Neal's feeling that something was wrong finally dissipated. Although he was still confused, he was the one who got the benefits anyway. Why bother so much? He was one of the two best players in the league in the regular season this season, and he was the only one.  As MVP contenders with Jordan, Malone can only be ranked third, and the gap between him and Jordan is widened.

    O¡¯Neal is going to drink some black tea and wait leisurely for the warm-up time for tonight¡¯s game.

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao spoke: "Mr. O'Neill, it was your birthday last month. Did I forget to give you a gift?"

    "You just remembered it!" O'Neal was even more excited than when he was discussing MVP just now: "You just said happy birthday that day!"

    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, I wasn¡¯t ready then, but I am now, you see¡­¡±

    What are you looking at?  Before O'Neill could think about it, people's exclamations came from downstairs, and the roar of the engine that was faintly visible just now was now very clear.

    There was some noise downstairs just now, but O'Neal and Zhang Hao were busy chatting about MVP and didn't notice what happened. Only now did I see that the crowd had been dispersed by security personnel. The noise just now was the dissatisfied curses of the fans.  Voice.

    The sound of the engine was getting closer and closer. O'Neill looked towards the direction of the sound of the engine. It was a convoy of sports cars!

    All the cars were purple in color. The sports car that came into view at the front of the team was different. Lakers-36 was engraved on the hood. There was also a car logo on the front of the hood. As it approached, O'Neal saw that it was him.  Car logo with the image of a two-handed dunk!

    "Ferrari-Tesla-Shark purple limited edition customized sports car. Ferrari will not produce this color again. The car in the front is yours, Mr. O'Neal. That little gold man is 20,000 yuan. Be careful not to break it. Also  this¡­¡­"

 Chapter 394 394. Someone else wants to steal my scoring title!  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    O¡¯Neal is now extremely surprised!  His car is different!

    Hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s grab, O¡¯Neal turned around and saw Zhang Hao pushing a stack of paper in front of him

    Endorsement contract!

    "Ferrari is looking for you, Mr. O'Neill, to be the spokesperson. They are going to mass-produce this model. You need to be their spokesperson and give them the authorization to mass-produce this car. If they sign a contract with you, they can start preparing for the production line. They seem to have a lot of cars.  The place is hand-made. I asked, if I sign a contract with you, in the second half of this year, the model you endorse will be able to produce about 200 units, and you will get a licensing fee of 10,000 yuan for each unit produced. That's about it. If you  If you are interested, their people will come later, you talk to them, I will just help them talk about it, this contract is just a draft, you and your agent need to talk to them."

    Producing 200 vehicles means you can get 2 million in endorsement fees!  This birthday gift is too luxurious!

    And it¡¯s only this year. If the sales situation is good, there will definitely be sales for several years in the future. It¡¯s all about money

    O¡¯Neal was stunned and felt that the gift he gave before was too petty!

    Suddenly, he thought of something and asked: "How much can you take?"

    The fat man who is a chicken thief!

    Zhang Hao cursed and said vaguely: "50,000 yuan per car."

    How could O'Neal hear clearly: "What did you say?"

    "It's nothing. No matter how much I take, you have to agree. These are customized cars for our team and are not profitable, so I named this car after you. They want to mass-produce it. Unless they change the name, they will have to agree with you."  After signing the contract, they will definitely not change the name to produce this car. If it is named after you, there is no need to advertise, you are the best living advertisement."

    So that¡¯s it, O¡¯Neal doesn¡¯t care. It doesn¡¯t matter how much money Zhang Hao gets, as long as he has the money. This is pie falling from the sky!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Before the game between the Lakers and the Suns, at three o'clock in the afternoon, t.n.t TV station broadcast a live broadcast of the sports car that Zhang Hao gave to his teammates, coaching staff, and heads of departments of the team that won last season.

    In addition to George Lynch in the 76ers, Jeromy Kersey in the Trail Blazers players who have left the Lakers, players who have stayed on the team, and retired players are all here.

    Those who have left the Lakers and are still playing in the NBA will have car dealers contact them and send their cars to them. It is easy. Ferrari also sells cars in those cities, and they can just ship them from the factory with the other cars.  It's not a big deal.

    Barkley was the host of this live broadcast, and O'Neal received the "birthday limited edition" Shark sports car presented by Zhang Hao, which was unique and stole the show.

    Originally, the current popularity of the Lakers could not be higher, no matter what, it would only be in the regular season.

    ¡°If they just do interviews and appear on programs, at this stage, they will no longer be able to get more exposure. Moreover, they may be annoyed by the fans who see them too many times.

    But this is different. More than 20 sports cars were given away at one time, the models were named after an athlete, and the head of the North American region of a world-renowned car brand came to the scene to announce the cooperation with O'Neal.

    Although this matter has not been discussed in detail, O'Neal and his agent first discussed it and decided to let Ferrari take advantage of him first.

    This does not require the brain to think about the pros and cons. For him, this is also an opportunity to further expand his popularity.

    After the detailed contract negotiation, the two parties first finished the matter of creating excitement.

    Barkley served as the host of the process and picked up a car by the way. Magic, Byron Scott, and Wilkins had also received Zhang Hao's notice to pick up the car.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s seven teammates who stayed on the team from last season, O¡¯Neal, Kenny Anderson, Jason Williams, Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, Ben Wallace, and Fisher each have one.

    Although James Robinson of the Clippers team next door is a player from another team, he still came to pick up the car immediately.

    ??The 4 members of the coaching staff, the heads of various departments of the team, plus the logo man, Kupchak, Jenny Buss, Jim Buss, and the owner Jerry Buss also have one.

    This battle, this scene, has never happened before in the entire history of North American sports, let alone NBA history.

    In the entire history of world sports, it is difficult to find an example of a player giving such a gift to his championship-winning members.

    "Definitely, the Lakers now have 6 new players on the team, and the envy is beyond words.

    Especially Ben Wallace and Fisher, whose contributions in the playoffs last season were almost zero, both got cars.

    ??It is a regulator that adjusts pressure every day, but for the Lakers, it is a profit. These teams that are playing poorly are afraid of winning, and they play more easily.

    O¡¯Neal made 14 of 21 shots tonight, plus 7 of 15 free throws, scoring 35 points and 7 rebounds.

    Zhang Hao had 23 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists. O'Neal really helped him get in position when he had the opportunity, but unfortunately, his assists could not keep up. After all, he is not the kind of player who can get 10 assists per game. He can only get one assist.  The leg stepped into the sewer, and the other leg was still stubborn.

    At the same time when the Lakers and Grizzlies were playing, the Bulls slaughtered the Wizards 125-91 at home.

    Jordan worked hard tonight, throwing 36 times, making 20 of 36 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 9 of 11 free throws, scoring 50 points, 11 rebounds and 4 steals.

    Although it is not higher than O'Neal's 54 points in a single game, it is still 50+ points in a single game, which does not allow O'Neal to narrow the gap in points per game.

    Then, after Jordan finished the game, he saw O'Neal playing 30 minutes and scoring 35 points on 21 shots

    "Is this damn fat guy really going to imitate that brat and steal my scoring title? *******"

    ? 35 points, not many, but 35 points in every game. Damn it, Jordan thought about the end of last year's season again

    Jordan was once again furious. The day before yesterday, Zhang Hao fulfilled his promise to deliver a car and helped O'Neal get an endorsement, which had already stolen the limelight.

    Now that the NCAA season is over, the attention of the basketball world has returned to the NBA. The Lakers want to steal his best record in history. Forget this matter, they still want to steal the scoring champion!

    Originally when he saw the news yesterday, Jordan thought those two fat guys were just trying to make him angry, but now he knows that O'Neal is serious!

    Jordan knows that O'Neal will most likely not win his scoring title. O'Neal is not the kind of player who can score 30+ points per game, so he feels like he just wants to stimulate him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why, maybe it¡¯s an illusion, but Jordan seemed to see the shadow of that brat in O¡¯Neal¡­

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Today¡¯s 14,500 words~ Not bad, give me a monthly pass!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 395 395. The most watched regular season finale in history (6500 words, please vote for me)

    Just as public opinion predicted at the end of March, the Suns caused some trouble for the Lakers. Anfernee Hardaway's 20 points and 3 assists in a single quarter were indeed amazing. If O'Neal hadn't gotten high that night and exploded.  , the Suns really could win.

    It is also possible that if O'Neal does not break out, Anfernee Hardaway's explosive performance of 20 points and 3 assists in a single quarter will not be inspired.

    When the next eight opponents meet the Lakers, their momentum will be two levels weaker. Even teams in the playoff competition such as the Nets and Cavaliers, and even the Spurs who are attacking the fourth place in the Western Conference,  There was no room for fighting back against the Lakers.

    On April 7th and 8th, the Lakers played the Nets and Cavaliers back-to-back away from home, easily winning 107-96 and 105-93 respectively. O'Neal scored 32 points and 38 points respectively, which made Jordan catch the same score.  A weak opponent will be given a beating.

    Zhang Hao and Tracy McGrady have one thing in common in these two games: they easily got more than 5 assists.

    However, Zhang Hao relied on the defensive rebounds of O'Neal and Jason Williams who followed the Nets to get a triple-double of 13 points, 16 rebounds and 12 assists. He happily won his seventh triple-double of the season.  Double, but unfortunately the Cavaliers were also very good at rebounding when they played against the Cavaliers. O'Neal and Jason Williams had no time to help Zhang Hao get in position. Zhang Hao only got 8 rebounds, but only 8 assists, 22 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.  , which is not bad.

    Playing against the Spurs on April 10, O'Neal's high scoring finally couldn't be sustained. As Jordan expected, O'Neal is not the kind of player who can score 30+ points in every game. Playing like that is too tiring for a center.  , even for a physical maniac like O'Neal, because the center always has to face the opponent's best player. O'Neal only scored 22 points tonight.

    But O'Neal's restraint of soaring points in the past few games helped Zhang Hao get many opportunities. Zhang Hao and Fisher on the wing scored 37 points and 21 points respectively. Fisher's 21 points in a single game set a new career high, and he scored 20+ points in a single game for the first time.  , the Lakers relied on O'Neal, Zhang Hao, and Fisher to score 80 points and defeated the Spurs 117-104. They won 9 consecutive victories and improved their record to 68 wins and 9 losses. They continued to set new records. In the 1995-96 season and the 96-  When the Bulls played 77 games in the 1997 season, they had already lost 11 games!

    The Lakers¡¯ remaining five games now include playing the Mavericks at home, three consecutive away games against the Mavericks, Pistons, and Warriors, and the final game against the Jazz at home.

    The three playoff-level opponents of the Nets, Cavaliers, and Spurs have not caused any real trouble to the Lakers. For the next four opponents, it seems that the Lakers will not make mistakes due to slack.  As for these four opponents, except for the Pistons, the other three teams are all bad teams. The Mavericks are currently 20 wins and 57 losses, and the Warriors are currently 19 wins and 58 losses. The two teams are ranked fifth and sixth from the bottom in the league respectively.  They also want to "go further", which means that the Pistons are currently in an awkward position of 35 wins and 42 losses, and they have a certain ability to win.

    Therefore, the hope of "beat-la" in the regular season really falls on the Utah duo!

    ¡­¡­

    On April 12, the Lakers played the Mavericks at home, 115-91, and on April 14, the Lakers started their third consecutive away game, their first game against the Mavericks, 125-88, a mad slaughter.

    O'Neal only played 18 minutes against the Mavericks at home. After a break in the second half, he scored 21 points. When playing against the Mavericks away from home, O'Neal went berserk, scoring 35 points in three quarters before clocking out.

    No reason, it was just that when O'Neal saw that he only scored 20 points, Jordan only played 22 minutes and took a break, so he had to find something for Jordan to do.

    At this time, O'Neal felt that Zhang Hao was very smart and this was a way to consume Jordan!

    It seems that he is doing something that is harmful to others and not beneficial to himself, but who can say clearly about this kind of thing?

    There is no suspense. After two games against the Mavericks, the Lakers' record improved to 70 wins and 9 losses, tying the highest number of wins in history, and continuing to set a new record for the highest number of wins in the same number of games!

    This is not unexpected, or even surprising. People's focus and direction of public opinion have changed from "Can the Lakers win 70 games" to "Can the Lakers lose double figures?"  ".

    On April 16, the Lakers played the Pistons in an away game. I thought it would be a bit troublesome. After all, Grant Hill was there. But just before the Lakers left for the away game, Grant Hill sprained his ankle. Because there was no need to fight, Grant Hill had already lost the season.  Looking forward to the playoffs, the Pistons chose to let Grant Hill miss the last few games.

    After a long journey, the Lakers did not perform well offensively in this game, scoring only 95 points in a single game. Zhang Hao's 17 points in the last quarter helped the Lakers score more than 90 points, but the Pistons were even worse, scoring only 73 points.  points, the Lakers slaughtered the Pistons 95-73, tying their own second-longest winning streak of the season, 12 consecutive victories!

    On April 18, the Lakers returned to the West and came to the Bay Area to challenge the Oakland Warriors.

    Zhang Hao felt that Billups was destined to be homeless early in his career.For a person, it is something that cannot be lost until the last scene.

    Furthermore, Zhang Hao has additional goals for this game

    ¡°Regular Season Overlord: The Third Goal of the Dream Journey

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers break the Bulls' historical record of 70 wins and 12 losses.  (72 wins and 9 losses, 140 days of life rewards have been accumulated)

    ¡­¡±

    "The uncrowned king? The second stage:

    Goal 1: When Zhang Hao¡¯s team plays against the Jazz in the regular season, they will have an advantage in winning or losing.  (Lakers vs. Jazz: 3 wins, 0 losses.)

    Reward: If the outcome of the battle is 3 wins and 1 loss, the host will gain 60 days of life and start the next goal; Advanced reward: If the outcome of the battle is 4 wins and 0 losses, the host will get a special card: an opportunity to master the basic skills of CIC.  "

    If you win this game, you will have a total lifespan of 270 days and the opportunity for CIC to break through the current ceiling.

    If you lose, you only have 200 days to live.

    After the Jazz players came out, it was the Lakers players¡¯ turn to come out.

    Watching O'Neal, Brent Barry, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, and Zhang Hao appear one after another, Malone said to Stockton next to him: "John, do you think our luck is really that bad? Magic?  Shi and Big Bird, Jordan and Big Dream, Zhang and O'Nealhow come we always have such monster opponents in our careers."

    Stockton shook his head: "We are very lucky. At this age, we can still have such strength and continue to compete for the championship."

    "Well" Malone snorted: "You are right, we are lucky. We cannot watch our opponents create an unbreakable record, nor can we be swept by them in the regular season. Last year we were swept by them in the regular season.  Leading them 3-1, they won the championship. This year we have to win the last game and fall behind 1-3"

    When Stockton heard this, he glanced at Malone and did not continue to talk.

    It is obvious that the mentality of the two evil spirits is very different.

    The playoffs are about to begin, and the hostility between the two teams has become increasingly intense.

    ??When fighting in the playoffs, it is most likely to cause grudges. This is the case between the Lakers and Jazz.

    The Jazz lost in the Western Conference Finals last year, and the Lakers know very well how difficult it is to deal with the Jazz's stable and strong strength in the playoffs. The ultimate goal of both teams is the championship, so grievances will naturally arise.

    The pre-match preparation time is over and the referee signals the two teams to start.

    At this time, the lights at the scene dimmed.

    The league officials and referees at the technical desk are used to it. Occasionally the Lakers will do this at home

    When the fans saw the lights dimming, they started cheering crazily.

    The fans at the scene felt like they were in a dream this season. They started with 17 consecutive wins, and then they won one after another. With one win after another, they unstoppably rushed all the way to 72 wins. Now, it¡¯s the final game of the regular season.  They may set a record of 73 wins and 9 losses that seems impossible to break!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s expressionless face appeared on the big screen above the arena, and the cheers of the fans reached a boiling point!

    Zhang Hao in front of the camera on the side of the court looks at the camera

    For him and his teammates, this season is really just like the name of the mission "Dream Journey" that runs through the entire season

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t move for dozens of seconds. The cheers of the fans at the scene not only did not stop, but became more ferocious. Many people felt that they were suffocating and their voices were about to become hoarse from the beginning of the game, but they still did not stop.

    Finally, Zhang Hao¡¯s mouth moved.

    With Zhang Hao¡¯s roar, the indiscriminate fighting spirit of the players from both teams exploded, and the regular season finale of his third career season kicked off!

 Chapter 396 396. You are old (14,000 words, please vote for me!)

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Kenny Anderson, Brent Barry, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    The Jazz sent out a starting lineup of Stockton, Hornacek, Brian Russell, Malone, and Ostertag.

    O'Neal won the jump ball, the Lakers attacked first, and the game began.

    The Jazz moved closer to the basket, blocked shots from the middle, and didn't care about anything else. They preferred to shoot from the high post and from the wings.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out and Sloan predicted the choice of Zhang Hao who received the ball one step outside the free throw line very well. Zhang Hao received the ball and passed it to Brent Barry who followed up to a 45-degree angle on the left.

    Brent Barry caught the ball and shot a three-pointermissed!

    The Jazz predicted that Zhang Hao would choose a three-pointer, and the bet was right. The Lakers missed a fast break three-pointer, but!

    O'Neal flew into the basket, jumped high, stretched his upper body over Ostertag's head, arched his waist, pressed on the head of Ostertag, who was blocked outside the reasonable collision area, and pushed the ball into the basket.  O'Neal dunked on someone else!

    Rushing fast, jumping high, dunking posture If a defender, such as Jordan or Grant Hill, completed such a make-up dunk, even Zhang Hao would not be so surprised.

    But this is O'Neal!  The top three centers in the league in terms of weight!

    The fans at the scene were all frightened and surprised. When they heard the referee's whistle and saw O'Neal taking a dominant step after landing and high-fiving Brent Barry who rushed up, the fans at the scene began to cheer crazily!

    Zhang Hao's fast-break dunk at the beginning was strictly guarded. O'Neal's follow-up dunk this time was much stronger than his direct fast-break dunk, which brought more impact to the opponent, excitement to his teammates, and excitement to the fans at the scene!

    O'Neal walked to the free throw line, looked at Zhang Hao, who was clapping his hands and walking to the right side of the three-second zone to grab the board, and complained: "Akers, can you be more excited?"

    Zhang Hao was stunned, stopped, looked at O'Neal, "Bah bang bang", and clapped even harder.

    ""

    O¡¯Neal was speechless.

    To add a penalty, Ostertag didn't react at all just now. He pushed his body back. That means O'Neal was strong and heavy, and he rushed up to dunk. If it were someone else, maybe Ostertag's subconscious action was  Will become a criminal.

    Being left speechless by Zhang Hao, O'Neal just threw it away and actually scored!

    ? 3-0, O'Neal started well.

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Jazz attack.

    Malone leaned on Zhang Hao on the right side of the free throw line to ask for the ball in singles.

    Zhang Hao defended very hard, and Malone clearly felt Zhang Hao's defensive progress over the past year.

    Looking at the regular season alone, after last year's All-Star Weekend, Malone played against the Lakers twice. At that time, Zhang Hao only had a skill in low-post defense and had first-class rim protection ability. But now, Zhang Hao, as a power forward, defends alone.  It is also far beyond the passing line and can be considered to be of a good level.

    Although there is a gap between the first-class defense and the top level, it is even further away from the top.

    But Zhang Hao is second in scoring, third in rebounding, and first in assists on the Lakers He is only 21 years old!

    This progress seems to be unstoppable.

    There is no need to compare last year with now, just compare the game at the beginning of the season with the final game of the regular season, Malone can feel the progress of Zhang Hao after playing the main power forward for a year.

    However, a good and close to first-class single defense is obviously not enough to deal with Malone.

    Malone¡¯s egg hurt for a moment, he hit with his back, turned around, broke through the baseline, announced on the right side of the three-second zone, faced O¡¯Neal¡¯s defense, turned around and circled the reasonable collision area, and hit a left-hand hook from the front!

    No one can guard Malone!

    If it weren¡¯t for the atrocious record of the Lakers and the amazing performance of Jordan alone, Malone wouldn¡¯t even be in the top two of the MVP probability list. The Bulls¡¯ 70 wins last year wouldn¡¯t have prevented Malone from winning the MVP.

    In terms of strength alone, at this stage, O'Neal is not Malone's opponent.

    Zhang Hao and O'Neal were not surprised that Malone easily scored one-on-two. They both knew Malone's strength very well.

    Especially Zhang Hao, he knows that Malone can still win the MVP next season, before Jordan retires and O'Neal gains weight and adapts well, Malone will become the strongest in the league.

    But defense does not necessarily have to prevent the opponent from scoring.

    Just now, Zhang Hao and O'Neal had a tacit understanding to let Malone do more actions to consume Malone.

    This can be considered a successful defense.

    Malone¡¯s one-on-two this time effectively calmed down the pressure on the Jazz players caused by O¡¯Neal¡¯s shocking make-up dunk.

    When the Lakers attacked, Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt and encountered Stockton's defense.

    Kenny Anderson listens to StokeIn these three and a half minutes, Zhang Hao hit a wave of 14-5 on his own, overtaking the score and gaining a 4-point lead!

    "Anyone who encounters an opponent's player who explodes like this will be beaten out of temper!"

    The opponent called a timeout, Zhang Hao turned around and walked to his bench, and met Stockton who was still standing there.

    Zhang Hao began to feel sorry for the strongest point guard in the 1984 class.

    Among the players considered to be super giants in the 1984 class, Jordan, Olajuwon, and Barkley all won championships, but this one was missing.

    So, as a recognized gentleman, Zhang Hao was ready to comfort Stockton.

    "Mr. Stockton, I said, if you don't call a timeout to replace Mr. Malone, you will be finished. I am very happy that Mr. Malone is going to play now."

 Chapter 397 397.60+ Will be late but will not be absent (6000 words, please vote for me)

    I really do it for your own good, and I really give you good advice

    Stockton couldn¡¯t be more crazy about Zhang Hao¡¯s sincerity!

    However, as Zhang Hao said, if the Jazz really did it, they might not go from leading by 5 points to falling behind by 5 points in just 3 minutes and 22 seconds.

    It is true that Malone's early appearance will be detrimental to the later time.

    But now it is already disadvantageous. The disadvantage that has begun to show and the point difference that has fallen behind are worse than it might be. In fact, they are worse!

    Malone was furious watching from the sidelines.

    Others¡¯ efficiency is gradually declining.

    At most, it can guarantee stable efficiency like Malone and Stockton.

    Zhang Hao was better, 6 of 13 in the first half, 6 of 12 in the third quarter, and 6 of 6 at the beginning of the final quarter

    In fact, the Jazz have encountered similar players. Olajuwon met in the first round of 1995, and Jordan, the strongest shooting guard position in the past ten years, and Iverson, who was in his second year, also had a similar situation.  .

    But they are just similar.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s situation can only be described as incredible in the eyes of others.

    O¡¯Neal watched as his team was about to go from being five points behind to five points ahead¡­

    "I thought people were waiting for me to rest and save the world"

    Why does O'Neal feel so comfortable?  Why leave your comfort zone when you are so happy lying down?

    What Silver Fox saw was not easy. He scored 14 points on 6-of-6. It looked extremely dazzling. In fact, the ball that widened the point difference was two three-point opportunities that the opponent missed. Zhang Hao gambled twice, and both of them were successful.  Made the shot.

    The key is to seize those two three-point opportunities. The current 4-point lead is earned by those two three-pointers.

    Zhang Hao also turned his previous inefficient performance of 12 of 25 shots, supported by the offensive rebounds of O'Neal and Jason Williams, into an efficient performance of 18 of 31 shots.

    ??Everyone sees and cares about different things. Zhang Hao feels that he is lucky and has two dunk opportunities!

    ?Otherwise, it may not be possible to trigger ¡°Kobe Time¡±.

    But since it¡¯s triggered then let¡¯s go!  Then go crazy!  Those two three-pointers, such good opportunities, were like training. The opponent was betting that he couldn't make the three-pointer, betting that he had a bad touch because he had thrown it more than 20 times and experienced so many confrontations.

    From the Jazz¡¯s perspective, Zhang Hao bet on three points and won.

    But for him, it¡¯s not gambling, he¡¯s just shooting three-pointers with the best feel.

    "47 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assistsThanks to Big Fatty and Jia Dajun! Without their offensive rebounds, I really can't throw more than 30 times with confidence"

    ¡­¡­

    During the timeout, both teams made adjustments.

    The Silver Fox replaced O'Neal in advance.

    14 points in 3 and a half minutes No, there are free throws, so it may be 15 points in 3 and a half minutes. Even if the Silver Fox had high expectations for Zhang Hao, they would never have imagined that such a situation would happen.

    He predicted that the opponent would replace Malone and Ostertag in advance, so he sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and O'Neal.

    O¡¯Neal and Doug Christie were replaced early.

    Sure enough, Sloan sent out the strongest lineup of Stockton, Hornacek, Brian Russell, Malone, and Ostertag.

    For the Jazz, there was no time to react.

    Sloan did nothing wrong, but they lost by 10 points in 3 and a half minutes.

    However, the point difference is only 5 points at most. Sloan is unwilling to give up, Shuangsha does not want to surrender, and the Jazz team still wants to win.

    Who wants to watch their opponent set a record that cannot be broken?  But they were the team that was finally able to prevent their opponents from doing this.

    If the Jazz lose tonight, it is very likely that when people think of the 73-win Lakers in the future, they will mention the final background of their Jazz team and their double evil.

    ??Also, they have lost 3 games in a row to the Lakers in the regular season. Being swept in the regular season will be a huge psychological blow. You must know that they went 3-1 against the Lakers in the regular season last year!

    The most important thing is the ranking issue. The difference between the third place in the Western Conference and the second place in the Western Conference will be very big.

    After the timeout, Zhang Hao stepped to the free throw line and made an extra free throw.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s personal score increased to 48 points, and the Lakers also led the Jazz by 5 points 80 to 75!

    With Malone back, the Jazz's fighting spirit finally stabilized, and Stockton also controlled his mood after the timeout."Has the Uncrowned King been activated? Second stage goal 2.

    Goal 2: If Zhang Hao's Lakers meet the Jazz in the playoffs this season, Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers defeat the Jazz and prevent the Jazz from reaching the finals; if the Lakers enter the final round of the series, the Jazz will not  Entering will be deemed as goal completion. If the Jazz enters a later series and the Lakers do not enter, the goal will be deemed to have failed.

    Reward: Designated Medal: Karl Malone Elbow Gold Upgrade Card.

    Failure penalty: The upgrade of Karl Malone¡¯s Elbow has ended.  "

    ¡°Regular season dominance: the third goal of the dream journey.

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers break the Bulls' historical record of 70 wins and 12 losses.

    Final record: 73 wins and 9 losses.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the 210-day lifespan reward.  "

    "The remaining life is 1591 days and the available life is 1590 days."

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao's Lakers team won the 1997-1998 regular season championship, leading the second-place Pacers by 11 games. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 110-day lifespan reward.

    The remaining life is 1701 days and the usable life is 1700 days.  "

    The first two reminders are that Zhang Hao is prepared. If he wins this game, he will be rewarded with a 280-day lifespan and a special card that breaks the upper limit of CIC talent.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?One last tip

    Only then did Zhang Hao realize that it seemed like he had won the regular season championship for the first time!

    In his rookie season, he ranked first in the Western Conference with 65 wins, but the Bulls had 70 wins in the Eastern Conference. Last season, they were only second in the Western Conference.

    The regular season champion with 11 games aheadZhang Hao is probably ranked at the forefront in the entire NBA history!

    ¡°I didn¡¯t immediately think about the special card I just got, and I didn¡¯t continue to be excited about the life span reaching a new high The fans were cheering crazily, and the teammates were also celebrating.

    Zhang Hao chose to join in the celebration!

    ?? 73 wins and 9 losses, even Zhang Hao himself feels that this is a record that cannot be broken. These 82 games in the past are definitely a dream journey for the 14 people who currently form a team!

 Chapter 398 398. I don¡¯t want what you think (6000 words, please vote for me)

    The shocking 1997-1998 regular season is over.

    The final ranking is determined. After the last game between the Lakers and Jazz on the last game day of the regular season, the playoff lineup is released.

    In the East, the Pacers with 62 wins and 20 losses ranked first, the Bulls with 61 wins and 21 losses ranked second, the Heat with 56 wins and 26 losses ranked third, and the 76ers with 54 wins and 28 losses ranked third.  Fourth, the 50-32 Hornets ranked fifth, the 46-36 Knicks ranked sixth, the 45-37 Eagles ranked seventh, and the 45-37 Cavaliers ranked  eight.

    In the Western Conference, the Lakers with 73 wins and 9 losses ranked first, the SuperSonics with 61 wins and 21 losses ranked second, the Jazz with 61 wins and 21 losses ranked third, and the Suns with 53 wins and 29 losses ranked third.  Fourth, the Spurs with 52 wins and 30 losses ranked fifth, the Trail Blazers with 52 wins and 30 losses ranked sixth, the Timberwolves with 46 wins and 36 losses ranked seventh, and the Rockets with 41 wins and 41 losses ranked eighth.  .

    The Pacers and Cavaliers, the 76ers and the Hornets, the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves, the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, the four-group series will kick off the playoffs this season on April 24.

    Bulls and Hawks, Heat and Knicks, Suns and Spurs, Lakers and Rockets, the four groups will start the first showdown of the series on April 25.

    It¡¯s still the same as in previous years, the first in the Eastern Conference will be unveiled, and the first in the Western Conference will take the lead.

    The Lakers' regular season that shocked the world is over, with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses.

    In the past two seasons, everyone thought that 70 wins and 12 losses was the ultimate NBA regular season record. Even if a team breaks the best record of 70 wins and 12 losses in the future, it will take at least several decades. After all, the Lakers created the record that year.  After posting a record of 69 wins and 13 losses, it took 24 years for any team to break it. During this period, the Celtics broke their rival's best record, but "only" reached 68 wins and 14 losses.

    But the Lakers just broke the record!

    ¡°Moreover, it was Zhang Hao who announced in advance that he would break the record with 20 games left, and then, he really broke the record!

    The entire basketball world is discussing the Lakers' 73 wins and 9 losses. The Bulls' back-to-back 70 wins are unprecedented, but the Lakers have caught up with the Bulls' back-to-back 70 wins in this regular season!

    Although there is a precedent of 70 wins without winning the championship, it was just in the most recent season.

    However, this cannot affect the Lakers' status as the favorite to win the championship.

    The media, experts, and fans immediately after the regular season ended did not analyze the playoff matchups or a certain star as they did in past seasons they were all discussing the Lakers.

    Even if there is a rookie this year who may be the strongest since the modern basketball era entered the era in 1976, a rookie who is stronger and more dazzling than Larry Bird and Zhang Hao, none of them can compare to Zhang Hao in the 1995-96 season.  That attracted so much attention

    O'Neal is in very good health this season and feels like he did in the first three years of his career. He played in 79 games, averaging 34.4 minutes per game, 29 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.8 blocks. He shot 58.4% from the field and 49.1% from the free throw line.  Rate.

    Kenny Anderson has played full attendance this season, averaging 31.6 minutes per game, 17.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.8 steals, shooting 45.6% from the field and 34.4% from three-point range.

    Jason Williams has played in 80 games this season, averaging 23.2 minutes, 6.5 points, 11 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks per game.

    Rick Fox has played 76 games this season, averaging 25.3 minutes per game, 9.1 points, 4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

    Doug Christie has played 78 games this season, averaging 27.1 minutes, 10.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

    Zhang Hao played full attendance this season, averaging 38.3 minutes per game. With 61 points in the final game, his scoring average broke through to 26.1 points. Although it was a career low, he averaged 7.2 assists per game, three times the number of last season!

    ??Averaging 26.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.1 blocks per game. Zhang Hao's three statistics in terms of points, rebounds, and blocks have all hit career lows, but assists and steals have improved significantly!

    This season, there are only two players averaging 20+5+5 per game. One is Grant Hill of the Pistons, who averages 22 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, and the other is Zhang Hao!

    O'Neal and Zhang Hao's performance this season and the results they have led the team have become the strongest duo in people's minds!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Look, Akers, Team Rocket's car has arrived."

    "Well, we have to fight them again."

    "Oh, by the way, you also lost to Olajuwon in your rookie year."

    "Yes, it's a pity that Olajuwon is also old."

    "Yes, if he was still in his prime, I would be more motivated to play against them this yearForget it, they leave it to you, I have to do my bestbsp; Target of use: Zhang Hao. It has been determined that the upper limit of Zhang Hao¡¯s basic mid-range shooting talent is 92.

    Effect: Zhang Hao¡¯s talent limit for basic mid-range shooting skills has been broken, and he can continue to improve to beyond the top level through training.  "

    Zhang Hao looked at the special card he got after beating the Jazz again. He had already used it, but after using it he felt nothing.

    When you reach the top level, to improve, you need to accumulate time and train slowly.

    Zhang Hao is not in a hurry now, the playoffs are coming soon, so he will put it aside for now and just do regular training to maintain his condition every day. Targeted training will be focused on those skills that can obviously be improved. This year's off season  The period is expected to be very long

    ¡­¡­

    On the first game day of the playoffs, there were no upsets. The Pacers 1-0 Cavaliers, the 76ers 1-0 Hornets, the SuperSonics 1-0 Timberwolves, and the Jazz 1-0 Trail Blazers.

    April 25th is the second game day of this year¡¯s playoffs.

    Early this morning, NBA officially announced the best of the month awards for April.

    Lakers coach Del Harris won the Coach of the Month for the second time this season.

    Duncan is undoubtedly the Rookie of the Year for 6 consecutive years, averaging 25+12+2+2 per game to compete for the Rookie of the Year. What a shame.

    Player of the Month, O'Neal, who won Player of the Week twice in April, was elected.

    The Player of the Week announced yesterday morning for the last game week of the regular season is also from the Lakers. Zhang Hao, who scored 61 points in the closing game, won the Player of the Week award for the second time this season.

    There are a total of 24 Player of the Week awards this season, O'Neal has won 6 times, Jordan and Malone have both won 4 times, and the others who can win the Player of the Week award twice include Zhang Hao and Duncan.

    Time Warner Cable Sports also announced some miscellaneous awards this morning, among which the sportsmanship award that received the most attention was the Sportsmanship Award. This award stole the limelight from O'Neal's three best-of-the-month awards, which defeated Jordan's two best-of-the-month awards.  ¡­

    Zhang Hao won this season¡¯s Sportsmanship Award!

 Chapter 399 399. Sorry, no more (6000 words, please vote for me)

    When Time Warner Cable Sports announced the awards, they played those scenes of Zhang Hao protecting his opponents. For example, when he rushed from the inside to defend his opponent, he would always keep his feet closed to prevent the opponent from stepping on his feet. Such scenes are seen in almost every game.  Yes, especially after entering 1998, Zhang Hao's defense became more fierce and his defense became more fierce. At the same time, we saw more scenes of him trying to avoid injuries to his opponents.

    There are also Zhang Hao's actions to protect his opponent after confronting him many times.

    At noon, t.n.t reported that Zhang Hao won the Sportsmanship Award, and also included a video.

    All kinds of iron elbows to clear the way, trash talk The most impressive thing is the scene when Zhang Hao elbowed Coleman out of the baseline

    Seeing this scene, fans left messages on the forum - he is indeed a gentleman

    ¡­¡­

    "Akers, the game between the Bulls and the Hawks is about to start. Akers, do you want to go watch it together?"

    "Um."

    Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson came to the lounge together to watch the live broadcast and take a rest.

    Zhang Hao won the Sportsmanship Award. O'Neal laughed for a while. When he was tired from laughing, he went to a hotel near the arena to take a nap.

    Tonight at 8 o'clock, the first game of the series between the Lakers and Rockets starts. There is not much to prepare for. The strength advantage is so great. The players just need to relax and the coaching staff will do enough in terms of strategy.

    Kenny Anderson turned on the TV and tuned to the t.n.t sports channel. t.n.t will broadcast the Bulls and Eagles, Lakers and Rockets games today.

    The live broadcast has just begun, and Barkley is analyzing which side can win this game.

    "The Bulls have a clear strength advantage and a huge record gap. Jordan's performance this year is okay. The regular season win record has been broken. He should be very angry now"

    In short, Barkley predicts that the Hawks will be slaughtered by the Bulls.

    Yesterday, t.n.t also broadcast two games, the Pacers and Cavaliers, Jazz and Trail Blazers.

    Barkley's prediction is that he will play very anxiously. After all, the Cavaliers have been one of the teams that the Eastern Conference teams least want to encounter in the past few years. They are too difficult to deal with.

    The Trail Blazers' internal twin towers are also very strong. Nash and Rasheed Wallace pick and roll, coupled with Sabonis's transition support, the offense is very good, and the defense led by Sabonis is also very strong.

    As a result, the Pacers played the Cavaliers and beat them by more than 30 points.

    The Jazz dealt with Nash and Rasheed Wallace's pick-and-roll as if they were playing. The Jazz easily defeated the Trail Blazers 109-93.

    So, today, Barkley simply went to the extreme to predict the situation.

    Then, this game should be as exciting and exciting as it is fierce and intense.

    Rodman and Mutombo competed for rebounds, Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Tracy McGrady, Ron Harperand other players worked hard to help Jordan tighten the score, and Jordan was responsible for handling key balls.

    The Hawks' veteran point guard Mookie Blaylock performed much better in the playoffs than in the regular season. He scored 19 points and 9 assists on 8 of 16 shots. He has a personal threat and the offense is well organized. Alan Henderson  and Kristen Laettner performed very well.

    Hawks star Steve Smith, a top scorer who averaged 20.1 points, 4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season, performed well tonight, making 13 of 22 shots, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4.  He scored 35 points on free throws, beating Jordan's 34 points, who made 15 of 24 shots and 4 of 5 free throws.

    Fortunately, McGrady performed well in the final quarter tonight, scoring 8 points and 12 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in a single game.

    The Bulls relied on teamwork, Jordan's strong personal performance, and McGrady's 8 points in the final quarter to narrowly defeat the Hawks 96-93.

    The game was exciting. The two teams cooperated well, the tactics were well adjusted, and the players performed well Zhang Hao watched the whole game and felt deeply.

    "If rookie Mai hadn't scored 8 points in the final quarter, the Bulls would have been upset!

    Who would have thought that Smith could actually make 13 of 22 in a defensive battle with Horry, McGrady, and Harper?

    "Is Er Pang's mouth open?"  Whoever you support will be unlucky?

    Hey, wait!  What did Er Pang say yesterday?  Are you saying that our Lakers team can definitely sweep the Rockets and advance?  I go!  Don¡¯t be careless in this series!  "

    Kenny Anderson strongly agrees with Zhang Hao¡¯s crazy complaints!

    ¡­¡­

    Today¡¯s four games, originally, the media predicted that they would be very intense, only the series between the Suns and the Spurs.

    The series between the Bulls and the Hawks attracts a lot of attention because it is a Bulls game.

    Lakers and Rockets series???I showed my hand at the beginning.

    In the first three quarters, the Lakers only led by 1 point 69 to 68, and in the final quarter they scored 33 to 25. In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Rockets 102 to 93, making the score 2-0!

    The final whistle sounded. Zhang Hao, who made 10 of 26 shots tonight, including 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 8 of 10 free throws, scored 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, breathed a sigh of relief.

    Almost lost!

    ???????????????????? But it¡¯s close, but it¡¯s actually quite far away. The Lakers didn¡¯t play well offensively in the first three quarters, but they still maintained their lead.

    And it is obvious that the Rockets want to fight to the death tonight, and they have done a good job on the defensive end, but even so, the Rockets failed to gain an advantage.

    The strength advantage of their Lakers team is still very obvious.

    After looking at the "2-0" system prompt, Zhang Hao turned off the system screen and looked at the opposite Rockets players whose faces could be seen being frustrated with a somewhat complicated mood.

    It would be great if we faced a team led by peak Olajuwon this year.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, there are Payton, Malone, Anfernee Hardaway, Jordan, Reggie Miller, and Duncan looking forward, there are more opponents worth being excited about!

    The post-game interview at the Chaoting Terrace is here.

    Zhang Weiping came to Zhang Hao's side, watched Zhang Hao staring at the opposite side, and asked: "Akers, are you regretting that Olajuwon is old?"

    Zhang Hao shook his head.

    "Then what are you thinking about?"

    Zhang Hao looked at this distant relative and the king of Chinese basketball at that time, and had an idea: "I'm already thinking about my next opponent"

    As soon as this was said, the system prompt came

    "I'll go! I'm just talking!"

    The playoffs passed day by day, and on April 30, the Lakers slaughtered the Rockets 122-85 and swept the promotion 3-0!

    There was no suspense. In the second game, the Rockets tried their best, but were still beaten by the mediocre Lakers. Their fighting spirit had collapsed. Kenny Anderson scored 31 points and 5 assists on a sudden inside and outside shot.  The Lakers won.

    O¡¯Neal played 29 minutes tonight, scoring 13 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks.

    Zhang Hao played 15 minutes and scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. He sat on the bench to rest throughout the second half.

    The second quarter was 22 points ahead. Silver Fox resolutely did not give Zhang Hao's opportunity to brush data. In the second half, Zhang Hao was on the bench.

    He is such a ruthless and ruthless old silver fox.

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt.

    ¡°Spill the poisoned milk: the fourth goal of the dream journey.

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to lead the Lakers to sweep the Rockets and advance to the second round.  (3 to 0, completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 30 days of life.

    The remaining life span is 1737 days and the usable life span is 1736 days.  "

    Zhang Hao felt that this task was not difficult from the beginning, and he successfully achieved the 30-day life span.

    Even after the last game, he said that he was already thinking about his next opponent, and no one thought it was wrong. Even if the Rockets tried their best, they were no match for the Lakers, who were in ordinary condition.

    The key is another task

    Yesterday, the Spurs defeated the Suns and tied the score to 1-2. In the first round of the best-of-five series, a comeback is also possible.

    "No matter who he is, it's the same"

    Zhang Hao is not obsessed with this matter. The task has been triggered, so just try to complete it.

    When he got up and walked onto the court, Olajuwon was hugging his Lakers players one by one.

    Zhang Hao also went up and hugged Olajuwon.

    When hugging, Olajuwon said in Zhang Hao's ear: "Others are saying beat-la, but I want to say kill Michael!"

    What a united and friendly 84 generation!

    Jordan has once again overtaken him and widened the gap. Obviously, Olajuwon does not want the gap to widen even further.

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers are not the first team to advance.

    On the 28th, with Duncan's 13 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 blocks, and Iverson's 36 points, the 76ers narrowly defeated the Hornets 94-91, sweeping the Hornets 3-0 to advance to the second round.

    The Hornets' Clifford Robinson and Desmond Mason's inside combination is very good, and they can often lead the team to defeat the strong. However, the 76ers led by Duncan will be difficult to defeat by teams weaker than them.  .

    No, g3 Duncan was very defensive, making only 5 of 13 shots, but he did a very good job on the defensive end and rebounding, allowing the 76ers to remain stable.

    At the same time, the SuperSonics also easily swept the Timberwolves 3-0, and Garnett was eliminated in the first round again.

    If Gugliotta is not injured, even if there is a strength gap between the Timberwolves and the Sonics, it is not that big. The point difference in each of the three games was more than 10 points, and the largest game was 19 points.  Difference.

    It can be seen that Garnett played very well, bringing up the strengths of Marbury, Sam Mitchell and other teammates. The Timberwolves played the best performance they could, but the overall strength gap is too big  .

    On the 29th, the Pacers swept the Cavaliers 3-0, winning the series by an average of 21 points per game, completely crushing them.

    The Bulls and the Hawks tied 2-1. The first two games were quite anxious. The Bulls initially tied with the Hawks 1-1, but in Game 3, Steve Smith failed to win as he did in the first two games.  After scoring 30+ points in a single game, the Eagles immediately collapsed.

    A 30+ scorer in a single game will be of great help to the core of the organization, the wing shooters, and the cutting players. The Hawks have a very good lineup of role players, and the combination is reasonable, but they are missing a true superstar.

    In the third game, with Jordan's 28 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Kukoc's 21 points and 6 assists, McGrady's 14 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Rodman's 8 points and 16 rebounds, the Bulls slaughtered the Hawks 109-85.  .

    The Bulls are in sight of promotion, and there are still three series in which the situation is becoming increasingly anxious.

    After the Suns led the Spurs 2-0, in G3, the Spurs broke out. David Robinson had 19 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks, Pippen had 23 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Avery Johnson had 31 points, Eli  Ott scored 14 points The Spurs made a strong comeback 122-103.

    ?????????????? If it¡¯s a narrow win, or how bad the Suns¡¯ performance is, it doesn¡¯t matter if the Spurs win one game. The key is that the Suns played well in this game, and the score is still like this The situation of this series is not so clear.

    &n? 

    Zhang Hao also arrived at the press conference to help O'Neal support the scene.

    The 76ers held a press conference for Duncan at noon. Duncan went to the press conference wearing slippers, a polo shirt and what looked like pajamas.

    O¡¯Neal saw the news while having lunch, and ran out to buy a more casual outfita set of pajamas, which were pink and came with a bear hat.

    Although Duncan's best defensive player has been questioned, Duncan is indeed a candidate for the best defensive player. However, he was originally predicted to be in the top five in votes.  Players will get tough.

    Ever since, the call for "the strongest No. 1 pick in history" has come again.

    ??Obviously, O'Neal and Duncan are at loggerheads, and neither one is willing to fall behind.

    Duncan looks like he doesn't care about the best defensive player, so the big fat guy has to show that he doesn't care about the MVP, pretending to go back and take a nap and rush to attend the press conference.

    Sure enough, during the press conference, reporters asked about Duncan winning the best defensive player. O'Neal responded that Duncan did not deserve it.

    Zhang Hao was also asked a question.

    "Akers, do you still think Duncan is an untalented player?"

    "Isn't it? The defensive honors he can win have come to an end, and there is no way he can improve."

    This is absolutely true!

    The reporter changed the question and asked: "Akers, the Suns and Spurs have reached the fifth game, and the outcome is unpredictable. Do you prefer the Suns to advance or the Spurs to advance?"

    "I don't care about this."

    "not give a damn about?"

    "Yes, anyone can. For us, there is no difference between the Suns and the Spurs. I don't pay much attention to the Western Conference finals. The SuperSonics, Jazz or Trail Blazers are all fine. Who among them will compete for the Western Conference?  The runner-up is the same, and I have already begun to think about my opponent in the finals"

    As soon as these words came out, O'Neal, who had just said that he didn't care about the MVP, had made a long call and was drinking water, directly sprayed him!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 401 401. A new era is calling (8000 words, please vote for me)

    "I've already started thinking about my opponents in the finals"

    "I don't care who my opponent is in the next round"

    "Who among the other teams in the Western Conference is competing for the runner-up spot in the Western Conference?  ¡·

    Rumor has it that no headline is innocent, and no headline can escape the mouth of a gentlemanit¡¯s hard to guard against those who grab the headlines in various ways!

    O'Neal watched the news, it was the day he won the MVP!  That bastard stole the spotlight again!

    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ve long been used to it.

    The key is what Zhang Hao said Anyway, O'Neal came to the arena today and wanted to be Zhang Hao's sparring partner. By the way, he asked Zhang Hao to be his sparring partner. The two of them practiced back hitting each other, and Zhang Hao couldn't hide at home.

    It is said that Silver Fox carried a baseball bat to Zhang Hao's villa area, but was stopped outside the villa area by armed bodyguards, and could only yell and curse outside the villa area.

    This hatred is driven by hatred, but don¡¯t say it, O¡¯Neal really wishes those words came from his mouth.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????After all, it's all about irritating the opponent, so it's better for him to steal the spotlight.

    "Why can't I think of causing trouble like that bastard? I just want to get ahead of him"

    Now he couldn¡¯t care less about it. O¡¯Neal and Kenny Anderson next to him looked at each other and sighed.

    "Kenny, is this the way he entered the NBA?"

    "Huh" Kenny Anderson shrugged with an extremely complicated expression. He might have said he was laughing, but at the same time he was helpless. He might have said he was helpless, more like he was having a mental breakdown

    After his face was distorted for a while, Kenny Anderson said: "Shaq, do you know what Akers said before he beat Jordan for the first time?"

    "What?"

    "He asked Jordan if he believed in light."

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Looking at each other, the two sighed again.

    At this time, Jason Williams walked out of the gym after strength training and seemed to be in a good mood.

    Thinking that other teammates were also worried and Jia Jia was so cheerful, O'Neal asked: "Jason, do you know what Akers said yesterday?"

    "I know, what's wrong?"

    "He's trying to stir up hatred again. Don't you want to scold him?"

    "Why are you scolding him?"

    "Well¡­¡­"

    "Since Aix said he is considering his opponents in the finals, wouldn't it be enough for us to reach the finals? I believe in the light!"

    Although they really want to complain, O'Neal and Kenny Anderson have to admit that what Jason Williams said makes a lot of sense!

    Isn¡¯t the only way they can reach the finals?

    After Jason Williams left humming a song, O'Neal couldn't help complaining: "Sure enough, being silly is the happiest"

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao's fancy headline-grabbing style once again showed its power. O'Neal won the MVP and Duncan's rookie season Defensive Player of the Year was robbed.

    After the game on the 3rd, 7 teams have been announced for the second round of the NBA.

    The Bulls defeated the Eagles 3-1. The first two games were more difficult, but the last two games were easily won.

    The Knicks defeated the Heat 3-2.

    In this series, Alan Houston's title of mid-range shooting king has been truly achieved.

    In the 5-game series, Alan Houston averaged 26.2 points per game, shooting 44% from the field, 38.2% from three-point range, and 2.4 three-pointers per game. He averaged 6.2 field goals from mid-range at 42.6%.  cast¡­¡­

    The Heat picked the Knicks to play, but they became a laughing stock and became Alan Houston.

    Pistons fans feel the sadness of Nets fans.

    It would have been great to have extended Alan Houston's contract properly, but they wanted $8 million a year. As long as they were given an average of $8 million per year, they were willing to reject the Knicks' offer, not to mention Jerry Stark now.  House isn't that cheap either.

    If Alan Houston stays, Ratliff will not have to trade Jerry Stackhouse. Ratliff has played 72 times this season, averaging 3.6 blocks per game and winning the block title.

    The Jazz were chased to a 2-2 tie at 2-0, and finally defeated the Trail Blazers in the tiebreaker. They advanced in a thrilling 3-2 fashion and almost suffered a huge reversal.

    Now, all that¡¯s left is tomorrow¡¯s tiebreaker between the Suns and the Spurs.

    It has been determined that on the 5th, the second round series of the Eastern Conference between the Pacers and the 76ers, and the Bulls and the Knicks will start first. On the 6th, the series between the SuperSonics and the Jazz, the Lakers and the Suns or  The series begins for one of the Spurs.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    &So angry!  Barkley made an angry expression, ignored Zhang Hao, and asked O'Neal: "Shaq, do you like playing with Akers? He is the All-Star vote winner and the most popular player."

    "We're about to get our second championship ring. Championship rings times two. Charles, do you ever feel like your fingers are empty?"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Barkley said: "I'm ready to come back, don't stop me!"

    O'Neal looked at Barkley: "You are 140 kilograms now? Can you still play?"

    "I'm just going to make it more difficult for you to win"

    The fans at the scene were made to laugh non-stop by the conversation between last season¡¯s ultimate frontcourt trio. On the Suns bench, Anfernee Hardaway looked at Zhang Hao and O¡¯Neal with their arms around each other ¡°It¡¯s fake or not.  ! The relationship between you two is obviously not good!"

    ??Penny players are all players who are very good at accepting the status quo. They will work very hard and fight very hard in the game, but they are often the easiest to accept the results.

    ? This is what Anfernee Hardaway is.

    Just a little bit will arouse more emotions in him - O'Neal!

    He couldn't accept that when O'Neal was paired with Zhang Hao, he was actually more "well-behaved" than when he was paired with him. How is he worse than Zhang Hao?

    Having never won a championship, he obviously doesn¡¯t know what the honeymoon period is when winning a championship, and he doesn¡¯t know how to coax his children

    ¡­¡­

    "Anfernee Hardaway, 26 years old, 201 cm, 95 kg, ability evaluation 97, offense 98, defense 83 played 5 games in the first round, averaging 31.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.2 steals shooting percentage 46.4  %, 32.2% three-point shooting percentage"

    "Jason Kidd, 25 years old, 193 cm, 95 kg, ability evaluation 90, offense 72, defense 92 played 5 games in the first round, averaging 7.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.8 steals shooting rate 37.9%  , three-point shooting rate 0%"

    "Antonio McDyess, 23 years old, 206 cm, 111 kg, ability evaluation 85, offense 82, defense 89 played 5 games in the first round, averaging 17.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game"

    After the award ceremony, it¡¯s time to prepare for the last 10 minutes of the game.

    Zhang Hao read the opponent's scouting report, combined with the analysis of past game experience, scouting reports, and tactical meetings To make final preparations before the game, the key thing to pay attention to is these three stars.

    Kidd became the rebounding leader in the series between the Suns and Spurs in the first round, and there was no one else. Anyway, he couldn't get so many rebounds.

    The amazing thing about Kidd is that his ball possession rate is so low and his personal offense is so bad, but he can still organize the offense in an orderly manner. No one else has this talent.

    Antonio McDyess also seems to have unlimited potential. Although he is not as talented as him and Garnett, he seems to be as talented as Rasheed Wallace. He has All-Star potential, and he is no worse now.  .

    Unlike Zhang Hao¡¯s patient adjustment, O¡¯Neal didn¡¯t have that patience. After the award ceremony, he ran to the opposite side to find Anfernee Hardaway to show off his MVP trophy.

    O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway are both full of fighting spirit. For both of them, aside from other factors, the championship, Zhang Hao's words, Danny Ainge's mobilization are not important, both of them are  I want to prove that I am better than the opponent in the playoffs!

    Soon, at 7:58, the game was about to start. Zhang Hao was applying magnesium powder on the technical table when the system prompt came.

    "Dream Journey: Are you here to compete for second place? It has been triggered, second round opponent: Suns"

    This is a task that has been triggered long ago and the prerequisites have been completed, but the opponent for the second round has not yet been determined.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t feel much about this task, but the other two tasks made him very excited!

    "Series of missions: Star of the Age Jason Kidd exclusive mission: Triggered by ghosts"

    ¡°Series of missions: Era Star Anfernee-Hardaway¡¯s exclusive mission: Star Reacher triggers¡±

    coming!  finally come!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 402 402. Is this really a 73-win team?  (10,000 words, please vote for me)

    ¡°Jason Kidd is an excellent tactician, commander, and leader Exclusive mission for Jason Kidd, Star of the Series: Ghost Trigger.

    ??Ghost:

    Goal 1: In the next series with the Suns, Zhang Hao needs to grab at least one rebound in each game to initiate a counterattack and get an assist.

    Goal 2: In the next series with the Suns, Zhang Hao¡¯s total number of rebounds must be higher than that of Jason Kidd.

    Goal 3: In the next series with the Suns, Zhang Hao¡¯s points + rebounds + assists in the entire series must be higher than Jason Kidd.

    Reward: Bronze Medal: Quarterback.  "

    "What do you mean? Is my rebounding worse than Kidd's or something Okay, maybe I'm not as good as Kidd"

    Zhang Hao thought for a while

    "If I remember correctly, Kidd, who was thirty-three or four years old later, because the Nets lost Kenyon Martin, he was forced to average 8+ rebounds per game and become the Nets' rebounding leader

    But is this quarterback a toy?  Kidd also has the ability to shoot four-pointers Wait, quarterback, it seems that American fans evaluate Sabonis's passing, Sabonis passing, let me think about it

    ? Grab the rebound in the backcourt and lead the whole court in a counterattack!  This, Kidd seems to have this ability too!  Hey, I'll wipe it!  incredible!  "

    ??Hurry up, Zhang Hao looks at another task.

    "Under the advice of the team doctor, he has reasonably lost weight and changed his breakthrough habits, so that his knees, which were hit by stray bullet fragments when he was a child and have potential injuries, can be properly protected. Anfernee Hada will enter the golden period of his career at the age of 27.  Wei got rid of the injuries and became even more dazzling, once again becoming the man who seemed to be able to reach out and pluck the stars Exclusive mission for Anfernee Hardaway, the star of the era in the series of missions: Star Reacher trigger.

    Star Reacher:

    Goal 1: In the upcoming game, Zhang Hao must score higher than Anfernee Hardaway, and must complete a post-up turnaround jumper in each quarter.

    Reward: Medal: Retreat Expert Fragment (13).

    Note: After completing goal 1, subsequent goals will be opened, and the final reward: magical insoles.  "

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t find it strange that the Suns¡¯ team doctor is very good.

    Anfernee Hardaway is fully qualified to avoid injuries. In the early days of his career, he was over 90 kilograms, and with O'Neal as his teammate, the pressure was not that great. Last season was plagued by injuries, mainly because he raised his weight to 97 at most last season.  It¡¯s related to kilograms. At the beginning of this year¡¯s season, I reduced it to 95 kilograms, and now I still have 93 kilograms, which is just right.

    Don't look at the gap between 4 kg. For the 200 -kg fat man of NBA, the difference in a few kilograms has a great impact.

    A good doctor is one who can make appropriate suggestions on such details.

    It is said that O¡¯Neal¡¯s expenditure on personal doctors, personal nutritionists, and personal physical therapists this year reached 500,000 US dollars in the regular season.

    It is said that Jordan spends over one million dollars on maintenance every year.

    He Zhang also receives self-recommendation letters from some famous physical therapists and doctors at any time, but he doesn't need them, otherwise he would have to spend this money every year.

    But obviously there is a big gap between doctors. If you can go to the Suns to treat injuries, why can't you think of going to the Spurs?

    What makes Zhang Hao¡¯s balls hurt is Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s talent Is the habit of breaking through changed at a moment¡¯s notice?

    But it really took them a year to change it!

    Zhang Hao played against each other 4 times in the regular season. I didn¡¯t feel much about the game at the time, but when I reviewed the game, I could find some slight adjustments in Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s style of play.

    This is talent.

    only¡­¡­

    This final reward, insoles?

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Kenny Anderson, Brent Barry, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

    The Suns sent out a starting combination of Kidd, George McLeod, Anfernee Hardaway, Antonio McDyess, and Holt Williams.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, and the game started!

    The Suns¡¯ strategy to defend against the Lakers¡¯ fast break is very simple ¨C beat the Lakers with a jump ball and deny the Lakers a chance for a fast break.

    This time Antonio McDyess did not complete the task. O'Neal took off hard and beat Antonio McDyess to win the jump ball!

    After losing the jump ball, the Suns immediately entered a defensive state. After Antonio McDyess landed, he moved sideways and moved toward O'Neal. Sure enough, O'Neal ran forward after landing.

    A fat man weighing more than 130 kilograms, but his speed puts Antonio McDyess, a short inside man known for his athleticism, to shame. Fortunately, O'Neal rushed upThe difference narrowed to 6 points, but Anfernee Hardaway still couldn't hold on in the second half of the third quarter. The Suns only scored 10 points in the second half, one point less than Zhang Hao's personal score.

    After three quarters, the Lakers led the Suns by 12 points, 92-80!

    Entering the break, Anfernee Hardaway approached Zhang Hao and asked: "You dare not challenge me one-on-one? Will you only rely on your teammates to help you score?"

    "What? Are you envious?"

    ""

    In one sentence, Anfernee Hardaway choked so much!

    ¡­¡­

    The Suns played so fiercely, and the Lakers still steadily widened the point difference to double digits in the third quarter. The Lakers played very relaxedly in the final quarter.

    The Suns still worked hard in the final quarter. Kidd led the team to chase points and once narrowed the point difference to 7 points, but they were still unable to reduce the point difference to less than 5 points and failed to truly pose a substantial threat to the Lakers.

    "The mentality is very relaxed and the game is very relaxed. However, the Lakers' tactical response, lineup rotation, defensive pertinence, offensive strategy these aspects have not relaxed.

    At 10 minutes and 43 seconds of the fourth quarter, Anfernee Hardaway watched Zhang Hao turn around and hit a step-back jumper his mentality was about to collapse.

    The point difference came to 11 points again, with less than 80 seconds left, and the Lakers secured the victory!

    In the end, O'Neal had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Kenny Anderson had 14 points and 12 assists, Jason Williams had 6 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists and Zhang Hao had 37 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 steal.  Blocked shots, the Lakers defeated the Suns 120-107 and won their first victory in the series!

    The game was pretty much what Zhang Hao expected. They had a huge advantage in strength. The Suns played very hard, but the Lakers were not in great shape tonight, but they were okay. They grasped the points that should be grasped.  Easily win the game.

    His 37 points were 3 points higher than Anfernee Hardaway's 34 points. It was originally 5 points higher, but Anfernee Hardaway made a mid-range shot in the last minute but it didn't affect the overall situation.

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt. The first goal of "Star Reacher" was completed, and he was rewarded with "Bronze Medal: Retreat Expert Fragments (13)". He also received a prompt that he would complete the mission next time.  The second target is triggered before the start of a match.

    The task related to Kidd, the goal that must be completed in this game, is to grab rebounds like Kidd or Sabonis and then direct the fast break in the backcourt to get assists. Relying on Fisher's fast break dunk, this goal  Done.

    "Ghost:

    ¡­¡­

    Jason Kidd has three main statistics in G1: 10 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. Zhang Hao has three main statistics in G1: 37 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

    ¡­¡±

    Kidd¡¯s rebounding is also amazing!  Even with O'Neal and Jason Williams, he still got a game-high 12 rebounds!

    Zhang Hao saw many times in the game that Kidd "picked up" rebounds by moving around. It seems that Rodman and Jason Williams are not necessarily better at predicting rebounds than Kidd.

    This is a bit troublesome. The Suns are like the Nets in the future in the original time and space. In the playoffs, they point at Kidd to grab rebounds. If Zhang Hao remembers correctly, the Nets are the playoff rebounding leader in team history.  It is Kidd, the Nets' regular season rebounding leader. Kidd has also rushed to fourth place in the Nets' history in just 6 years.

    ¡­¡­

    Easily won the first victory of the series, with the Lakers leading 1-0.

    It was night, and Zhang Hao entered the learning mode to review the game.

    Through the review, Zhang Hao once again affirmed his team¡¯s performance in this game. They played really well!

    It¡¯s not that the Suns played poorly. Kidd scored 10+12+7, Anfernee Hardaway 34+4+9, and George McLeod scored 21 points The Suns only scored 5 points in more than 4 minutes in the opening period.  The score was a little short, but they played very well later. Even if the Suns failed to adjust in time and failed to seize the opportunity in the first half of the second quarter, they just failed to play better.

    If the Lakers can defend the Suns' lineup with one large and four small players, they certainly won't let the Suns score more than 100 points.

    Isn¡¯t this impossible to prevent?

    But they were better able to seize opportunities, made better adjustments, and performed better than the Suns.

    However, after replaying the game for two rounds and focusing on the rebounding matter

    "How can I beat a defender if I can't rebound the ball? Who will teach me?

    Let Big Fatty help you get a seat?  Can not be done!  Although we have a strength advantage, the opponent also has opportunities, but the probability of opportunities is not high. If I affect Da Pang and Jia Dajun from grabbing rebounds, it will affect the team's rebounds and give the opponent more opportunities  No, this method is not advisable"

    Zhang Hao's rebounds have dropped a lot this season, which is related to the change in his playing style, and he has already changed his playing style. It is not his personal adjustment, but the whole team's adjustment. He relies on O'Neal's rebounding in the starting lineup and Jason Williams's on the bench.  rebound.

    This is a necessary adjustment to make the Lakers better.

    "If we can sweep the Suns, it will be much easier to play the SuperSonics or Jazz later. You have to get the one-hit kill card, so it won't affect the performance of the whole team. If the Suns win,  Two games in one game, that's a lot of pressure Hey! Since Kidd is so good at rebounding, then I just have to learn his way.

 Chapter 403 403. Did he learn it just like that?  (5000 words, please vote for me)

    The first game of the second round of the four-group series was all played out, and the winner was decided quickly and easily, which was quite surprising.

    The Sonics defeated the Jazz steadily, which was understandable. Malone's 9-game streak was interrupted and his mood was affected.

    It was expected that the Bulls would crush the Knicks.

    The Pacers were originally predicted to be better than the 76ers.

    In the first game between the Lakers and the Suns, the Lakers easily won, which is not surprising.

    What surprises people is the process of the Lakers game

    The media, experts, fans, and people from other teams all felt the same way as Anfernee Hardaway, the opponent of the Lakers, was surprised. Barkley said in the post-game comments after the live broadcast: "The Lakers did not  What a 73-win team should look like.¡±

    When fans, players from other teams watching the live broadcast, and Lakers players heard this comment, they all knew that it was not speaking ill of the Lakers, but rather praising it.

    The Lakers played very relaxedly throughout the game, but they did not play randomly. They rotated in an orderly manner, executed tactics well, controlled their advantages well, avoided disadvantages as much as possible, and seized opportunities properly

    When the Lakers played the Rockets in the first round, except for the second game, the other two games were played very carelessly and casually. It looked like a nobleman was terminally ill after winning 73 games.

    Before the start of the second round, many people still thought that the Suns might upset the Lakers, just like the Knicks upset the Heat.

    For those who think the Suns can do it, in addition to "beat-la", the loudest call this year, the key is the hope that the Lakers have brought to them by including the aristocratic disease that has no cure.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that, the Lakers are hopelessly ill, and people just think that the Suns may beat the Lakers and the Lakers perform normally After the first game of the series, people have already sentenced the Suns to death.

    Now it depends on how long the Suns can struggle.

    ¡­¡­

    This year¡¯s playoffs were very busy. The morning after the Lakers finished their series with the Suns, Zhang Hao, O¡¯Neal, and Fisher participated in a conference call held by the league and the players union.

    There are less than two months left before the end of this season. If a new agreement is not reached at the last labor negotiation on June 30, then the NBA will officially suspend its season on July 1.

    There were no surprises. At the beginning of the meeting, Ewing, Jordan, and David Robinson once again quarreled with the team owners.

    Not all bosses have to lower salaries. Teams such as the Lakers and Knicks clearly oppose the hard salary cap clause proposed by Rockets owner Alexander, which is based on the NFL's hard salary cap.

    When the owners of the Bulls, Clippers, and Rockets were arguing with Ewing and Jordan, the Lakers and Knicks, the Trail Blazers, and the SuperSonics were about to sell their teams.  The owners of the four teams said nothing.

    David Stern interjected during the quarrel: "Compared to ordinary people, you earn enough, you can't always make demands."

    David Stern¡¯s words didn¡¯t have many flaws, but Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf seized the opportunity and said, ¡°Yes, you make too much, it¡¯s so unreasonable.  Players earn more than the team, how can the NBA operate normally? Do you want to see the NBA go bankrupt and be acquired like ABA?"

    This sentence means something.

    Everyone in the conference call could tell that the Bulls owner's strange words were meant for Jordan, who is earning double the current NBA maximum salary.

    But before Jordan could say anything, NBA Players Association Chairman Patrick Ewing spoke: "Yes, we make more, but we also spend more!

    We are used to our current life, you can¡¯t let us live in poverty again, right?  "

    Good guy, Zhang Hao heard the sound of O'Neal and Fisher slapping their foreheads with their hands at the same time

    ¡­¡­

    The telephone conference did not produce any results and once again broke up on bad terms.

    None of the three Lakers players involved in labor negotiations had anything to say.

    They are all too young, even O'Neal is only in the sixth year of his career.

    At the end of the conference call, O'Neal said to the two teammates next to him: "Akers, Derek, I think there's going to be a lockout. Ewing's answer was too stupid, and his phone line should be pulled!"

    "I think so too. Jordan should be allowed to say it. Although that's what he meant, I don't know how to continue the conversation when I say it like this." Fisher also complained.

    One person makes a complaintWith a roar from ??Hao, the two teams started playing.

    Zhang Hao was not careless and used his roar to increase the concentration of his teammates to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

    After entering the court, he observed the opponent's condition and found that the opponent was not as depressed as after losing the first game last year, and was still very motivated.

    On the other side, the Suns are indeed very motivated. They lost the first game, so what?

    Last year, the Suns played against the Lakers in the first round and gave up after one game because there was no hope.

    Who would have known that after the end of the season, Anfernee Hardaway made a fuss and left, and Colangelo Jr. managed to bring back Anfernee Hardaway and Antonio McDyess.

    Although the strength is obviously inferior to the opponent, the Suns' eight-man group headed by Kidd and Anfernee Hardaway are unwilling to give up.

    What if you win?

    Even if you don¡¯t win, you still have to seize the opportunity to play against the team with the best record in history and find the gap.

    If it doesn¡¯t work, it¡¯s better to create some trouble for the other party.

    ¡°They won¡¯t be scolded if they lose anyway. Even Phoenix fans didn¡¯t think they would win.

    After all, they have just formed the core lineup, the role player lineup is not good enough, and the core rotation only has 8 people

    The game started at 7:30 pm.

    The expectations of the Suns were once again disappointed.

    Before the game, O'Neal was imitating Kenny Anderson's cross step and changing direction, but after the game started, his fighting spirit was still high.

    The Suns players also saw it, and Zhang Hao's roar focused the Lakers' military morale.

    What is a leader?

    This is!

    As an opponent, there is no way to deny Zhang Hao's excellence.

    But the Suns players didn¡¯t want to give up. When they heard Zhang Hao¡¯s roar, their fighting spirit became even stronger.

    However, after the game started, O'Neal's singles and Kenny Anderson's baseline ball attack made the Suns lose their temper.

    The tactical preparation was wrong again. Zhang Hao, who was the main attacker in the last game, hardly made any moves tonight!  He ran to grab rebounds and assist in passing the ball.

    The Suns have a huge defensive disadvantage. Their three insiders are all 206 centimeters tall. They are fine against other teams. But against the Lakers, they cannot play effective regular defense, so they can only go forward.

    The one they focused on guarding tonight was Zhang Hao. As a result, O'Neal scored 11 points in the first quarter and Kenny Anderson scored 9 points in the first quarter. The two led the team to score 35 points in the single quarter. The Lakers led 35 to 26 by 9 points.  Enter the intersession break.

    This is because the Suns adjusted quickly and took the initiative to strengthen their offense.

    The 9-point difference is not what hurts Kidd the most. If he can't beat him, there is nothing he can do. The key is that tonight he feels like he is playing against a bigger version of himself!

    In the first quarter, O'Neal scored 4 points on fast breaks, Kenny Anderson scored 2 points, and Brent Barry scored 4 pointsit was all Zhang Hao who grabbed rebounds in the backcourt and served!

    Kidd didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as he continued to fight, he began to pay attention to Zhang Hao's rebounds Mainly because Zhang Hao had so many rebounds in the first quarter. Later, when the Suns were playing, O'Neal almost fell off.  !

    After careful observation, Kidd discovered that Zhang Hao¡¯s way of grabbing rebounds was the same as his rebounding king?

    During the break, Kidd suddenly realized and was horrified!

    Kidd recalled the time he played against his friend Nash in the regular season and talked about Zhang Hao.

    Nash mentioned that Zhang Hao learned his step-up layup last summer after watching it for a few days.

    "This guy learned how to rebound and organize offense like me, just like that?"

    On the other side, Zhang Hao looked at his 6 defensive rebounds in the first quarter

    "These 15 destiny points are worth it! It's a magical weapon to abuse food!"

 Chapter 404 404. Is this going to require a press conference?  (8000 words, please vote for me)

    Zhang Hao played 35 minutes tonight, scoring 13 points, 17 rebounds, 16 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, helping the Lakers defeat the Suns 119-104, making the score 2-0.

    "Ghost:

    ¡­¡­

    The three main statistics of g1 are Jason Kidd with 10 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, and Zhang Hao with 37 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

    The three main statistics of g2 are Jason Kidd with 14 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, and Zhang Hao with 13 points, 17 rebounds and 16 assists.

    ¡­¡±

    When the final whistle sounded, the system prompt came.

    The rebound completed the lead!

    If he really relies on his own ability and Kiddby's rebounding numbers, without affecting the team's style of play, Zhang Hao feels that his task will be difficult.

    But I did it easily tonight!

    He opened the list of special ways to use the star experience card.

    "Jason Kidd 1995-1996 version, 193 cm, 91 kg, ability evaluation 85averaged 16.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 2.2 steals per gameshooting rate 38.1%Feature Transformation Medal: Quarterback (Silver)  )¡­¡­

    The lifespan of each use is 30 days (the lifespan of the first use is halved after use).

    The matching degree is 55%, and the number of bronze draws has been consumed once to enable advanced usage: if you are publicly beaten by your wife or girlfriend, you can get a 20% matching degree bonus.  "

    The peak version of Dallas 3j Kidd, the second-year Kidd, has very impressive statistics. With good teammates, he is extremely powerful at dealing cards!

    "It's a pity that this version of Kidd is just terrible. Even with the matching degree bonus, the matching degree is only 75%. The shooting is greatly affected. The negative bonus for three-pointers has dropped below 75, and the negative bonus for mid-range shots has reached 85.  Belowbut the rebounding and passing are really gooduhhow did I pass those balls just now? Let's study my own and Kidd's passing and rebounding tonight"

    After the first game the day before yesterday, Zhang Hao started studying Kidd's rebounding movements in the early hours of yesterday morning. He felt that this was not enough, so tonight he used a random peak star experience card of Dallas 3j during the 3j era.

    The star experience card of the first-class star level is not expensive, it has 30 destiny, and it is half off for the first use. The two bronze lottery times and one bronze lottery opportunity he had saved before were used at this time.

    Before the game, Zhang Hao asked April Clark, who was watching the game, to kick him. This girl actually kicked him!

    Zhang Hao also saw a feeling called "pleasure" from this girl's face

    Although Kidka at this stage is not very effective against strong teams, he is still very good at beating opponents. When his teammates are strong enough, he has a strong ability to suppress opponents.

    Personal offense has been greatly affected, but defensive awareness has improved significantly.

    The second game was won steadily. Originally, Zhang Hao was worried that triggering the "Star Reacher" mission would affect the completion of the mission. As a result, g2 did not trigger the "Star Reacher" mission.

    This is gratifying

    "With the experience of personally experiencing Kidd's rebounding experience, coupled with the review mode, my skill-based rebounding should improve this time It's really not possible to use it again in the last game"

    Zhang Hao is relaxed and happy here.

    On the other side, Kidd, who was looking at the data posted on the big screen after the game, was doubting his life

    Kidd is so familiar with Zhang Hao¡¯s data!

    ??When he beat opponents who were weaker than him, he produced similar statistics many times!  There will be one game against the Spurs in the first round!

    Although his shooting talent is not good, Kidd is very confident in his talent, especially rebounding and passing.

    His rebounding is not like other guards who have a lot of defensive rebounds. When he grabs defensive rebounds, it means that the team is likely to have a fast break. When he grabs rebounds, the inside players can go directly to the basket without the help of teammates.  position, it will not affect the team's offense, and he is grabbing rebounds on the basis of ensuring his own defense, and will not sacrifice defense.

    This is what people praise him for.

    Before, he thought that Nash was tortured stupidly by Zhang Hao, but now he believes it a little bit

    "Do you really want to learn how to look at it?"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The first four match days of the second round were played, and all four series were tied 2-0.

    This score really surprised many people.

    It¡¯s May 9th, the NBA offseason, and it¡¯s time for the draft lottery.

    The G3 games between the Bulls and the Knicks, SuperSonics and Jazz will begin on the 10th, and the G3 games between the Pacers and the 76ers, Lakers and Suns will begin on the 11th.

    The Bulls and Lakers advance. There is no suspense. The only question is what the score is, 4-0 or 4-1.

    Zhang Hao won his fifth career victory in G2 with the Suns?It was discovered by Jim Buss.

    Jim Buss has a very wide network of contacts in this area. Like Colangelo Jr., he is from a famous family in the American basketball world. California and Arizona are close to each other. Jim Bass¡¯s father is a big boss in the basketball world in California, Colangelo Jr.  Before Jairo went to the American Basketball Association, he was a big shot in the basketball world in Arizona, and his circle of friends was pretty much the same

    It can be seen that the Suns management has really worn out their scalp in order to create opportunities to win.

    This operation, don¡¯t say it, is a bit interesting, but when Jim Buss told the players about it, this operation changed from making the Lakers float to making the Lakers full of vigilance!

    So, little Colangelo was self-defeating.

    Danny Ainge feels that there is a reason why the media did not award the best manager to Colangelo Jr. this yearHaving a good father really means everything goes smoothly.

    It¡¯s just that when it comes to things where I can¡¯t compete with my father, I feel a little overwhelmed.

    ¡°If the Lakers were just careless in the second game but not so vigilant and hard-working, the Suns might have led by at least 10 points after the third quarter, which was not the case.

    Because they played so well tonight, Kidd and Antonio McDyess¡¯ pick-and-roll continued for half the game, sustaining the situation and maintaining the lead in the half. In the second half, Anfernee Hardaway stepped up.

    If the Lakers are in the same state as they have been in the past two games, and the Suns are in the state tonight, they will have no problem holding on to their first home game.

    "It's a pitybut we still had a chance. Remy Martin scored 20 points in the third quarter, but we still held on"

    Danny Ainge was in pain, but he still held out hope and started a quarrel-style communication with Kidd to discuss how to adjust.

    On the other side, the Lakers withstood the Suns' impact, and the whole team was very happy.

    Kidd had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in the third quarter, Anfernee Hardaway had 30 points and 5 assists in the third quarter, Antonio McDyess had 14 points in the third quarter, and George McLeod hit 4 three-pointers in the third quarter This performance, their Lakers  Got it all!

    There are two very important points. O'Neal played very powerfully, scoring 28 points in the three quarters. The only flaw was that he encountered a shark-cutting tactic in the second half of the third quarter and made all 4 free throws He made 3 of 10 free throws tonight.

    "As long as O'Neal's free throws are accurate in the regular season, his score will not be lower than Anfernee Hardaway.

    Zhang Hao was very successful in interfering with Kidd's rebounding, reducing the Suns' defensive counterattack.

    Zhang Hao experienced Kidd's card and worked hard to study Kidd's rebounding, not to be able to rebound better than Kidd in this series. This goal is a bit difficult to achieve. His plan is to analyze Kidd's movement purpose and follow Kidd closely.  Germany, when their outside teammates are shooting, interfere with Kidd's rebounding, allowing others in the Suns to rebound, or help their teammates rebound while interfering with Kidd's.

    He did a very good job and successfully helped the team withstand the impact of the Suns, who were in great shape after returning to their home court. Although Anfernee Hardaway single-handedly led the team to catch up with the score in the second half of the third quarter,  But this is pretty good.

    But Zhang Hao couldn¡¯t be happy at this time

    ¡°Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s star shined in the third quarter, and he played the best individual performance in this series Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s exclusive mission for the star of the series mission era: Star Reacher Target 2 trigger.

    Star Reacher:

    Goal 2:: Zhang Hao¡¯s score in the fourth quarter must be higher than Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s 17 points in the third quarter. If Anfernee Hardaway scores more than 17 points in the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao¡¯s score in the fourth quarter  Needs to be higher than Anfernee Hardaway's score in the fourth quarter.

    Reward: Medal: Retreat Expert Fragment (13).  "

    "The co-authoring task is on holdbut now I need to make a contribution"

    Zhang Hao looked at O'Neal's data posted on the big screen.

    O'Neal's free throw shooting is really amazing. In key games, his free throw shooting percentage is significantly higher than in ordinary games. At critical moments in key games, his free throw shooting percentage is also higher than in regular time.

    ??But this kind of series is in a crushing situation and the opponent's explosion only creates a chance to win. Tonight, O'Neal made 3 of 10 free throws

    "Give it a try first. If it's not completed, then cheat I have to get this medal fragment today. The Suns this season are not complete yet. God knows whether they will be stronger after the suspension.  At that time, even if there is a second chance to complete the task, it will be more difficult System boss, start Kobe time!"

 Chapter 405 405. The Buddha¡¯s light shines everywhere!  (9000 words, please vote for me)

    Anfernee Hardaway blew into his fist and tapped his forehead.

    He scored 30 points in the three quarters tonight, and O'Neal on the opposite side scored 28 points in the three quarters. The biggest matchup in this game is him and O'Neal.

    The first three quarters were basically neck and neck. In the final quarter, Anfernee Hardaway wanted to defeat O'Neal.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay to win one game. Even if you win one game, at least it won¡¯t make you look good¡±

    In terms of mentality, Anfernee Hardaway is very peaceful. He even feels that he is going to be eliminated. It is not unacceptable, but he does not want to have his head shaved.

    With strong motivation, Anfernee Hardaway walked onto the court "Huh?"

    Kidd, who walked onto the court together, also felt strange: "O'Neal was replaced to rest?"

    Anfernee Hardaway calculated: "He played 6 minutes in the first quarter, 8 minutes in the second quarter, and the whole third quarter. Hua Qukai only played 26 minutes. Our inside line will not rest."  ah!"

    Kidd rolled his eyes. This superstar teammate was good at everything, but he had a deep misunderstanding of the strength inside.

    The actual situation is not that their inside line is weak, but that the other seven teams in the top eight in the Western Conference are too strong inside.

    "But Anfernee Hardaway partnered with O'Neal when he entered the NBA. He felt that the inside line supported only by Antonio McDyess was weak, which is normal.

    And he doesn¡¯t attack at all. Antonio McDyess has been his best inside teammate in the four seasons he has been in the NBA, with a quasi-All-Star level

    Regardless of this, Kidd said: "This is our opportunity, but if we don't grasp it well, we will collapse when O'Neal comes up in the last few minutes."

    Anfernee Hardaway nodded: "Yes, that guy can still shoot free throws at critical moments. Cutting sharks is of no use to him. Before he comes up, we have to take advantage"

    The Suns sent a combination of Kidd, George McLeod, Anfernee Hardaway, Antonio McDyess, and Mark Bryant.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Brent Barry, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and Ben Wallace.

    Just as Zhang Hao thought, Silver Fox replaced O'Neal first at this time, pointing to Zhang and Kenny Anderson to lead the team to support the score. After that, O'Neal would be no problem.

    The "restriction of shark-cutting clause" was originally introduced around 2010 in time and space, that is, intentional fouling of players without the ball was not allowed in the last two minutes of the game. Obviously by that time, this clause was not introduced to help O'Neal at all, because  It was not needed, but was launched for the number one center at the time.

    As O'Neal's old teammate, Anfernee Hardaway knew from the 1995-96 season that O'Neal was good at free throws at critical moments, at least not holding him back. Silver Fox has coached O'Neal for two years, and of course he also knows that there is a statistic this season, O'Neal's fourth quarter  The free throw shooting rate in the second half was 65.7%. Although it is not good, at least at the critical moment, it is difficult for the Lakers to be defeated by this tactic.

    Since O'Neal's free throw shooting rate is only a pitiful 30% during regular time tonight, let him rest during regular time and hit the target at critical moments.

    It doesn¡¯t mean that the back-up center under the basket can only support the bottom. Sometimes he can also be the one who charges the final shot.

    Kenny Anderson is stable and has a big heart. He has also been very good as a leader in the past two years, but he is too stable. When he met Kidd, the second-defense leader, and because Payton and Jordan could only be selected as the second-defense base,  Virtue, it is good to be able to stabilize yourself and not hold back. On the bright side, although you don't have explosive ability, at least you don't make mistakes.

    It¡¯s just that, you have to rely on that dead kid

    The fourth quarter begins with the Lakers attacking first.

    Zhang Hao came to the high post on the right to lean against Antonio McDyess, received a pass from Kenny Anderson, turned around, and broke through!

    It was very direct, with no fake moves. Antonio McDyess had the ability to defend against Zhang Hao¡¯s style of playbut turned around and was blocked by Jason Williams.

    The Suns had expectations. Mark Bryant moved to the right side of the three-second zone to resist Zhang Hao. Anfernee Hardaway defended from the side. Zhang Hao took off from the right side of the three-second zone, and Mark Bryant  They fought against each other, pulled the lever in the air to avoid Anfernee Hardaway's blocking, and pushed the ball out just before landing

    Hit with the board!

    With 7 of 13 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, Zhang Hao's personal score increased to 20 points.

    The Suns' teamwork and defensive strategy of trying to guard Zhang Hao while also limiting his passing have been played against each other so many times. Faced with such a defense, Zhang Hao can handle it with ease.

    This style of play is just a fake one versus three. It looks like you are facing a very strong defense.Secure the victory!

    In fact, the reason why the Suns were still attacking after 9 minutes and 11 seconds was because Anfernee Hardaway had already scored 48 points. But now, Anfernee Hardaway was asked by Danny Ainge for more points.  When I don't want to fight, I give up.

    Anfernee Hardaway has worked to the limit tonight, shooting 17 of 34, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 12 of 14 free throws. Now he really doesn¡¯t even have the energy to shoot!

    The Suns surrendered, and the Silver Fox also replaced Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, allowing Rick Fox and Doug Christie to lead the team. The difference was 16 points, less than 1 and a half minutes The Silver Fox  It¡¯s still time to be cautious.

    There is nothing wrong with being careful.

    There were no surprises in the remaining 80 seconds. The Suns really gave up and it felt like they were playing casually.

    In the end, Zhang Hao, who played 41 minutes, scored 41 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The Lakers scored 40-26 in the final quarter and defeated the Suns 123-108, making the score 3-0.  !

    Immediately after the game, reporters poured into the stadium. Zhang Hao, O'Neal, and Anfernee Hardaway were the hardest hit areas taken care of by reporters.

    "Akers, you made 10 of 10 shots in a single quarter and scored 23 points"

    On Zhang Hao¡¯s side, the questions he was asked were all about scoring in a single quarter and making 10 out of 10 shots.

    "Penny, you are still two points short of 50 points in a single game, why"

    Anfernee Hardaway was asked about the fact that he didn¡¯t get 50 points in a single game.

    Anfernee Hardaway was also speechless. Did he not want it?  He just can't do it!  It looked like it was just two points away, just one ball away.

    But he has already fought to the limit!

    He didn¡¯t hear what question O¡¯Neal was asked clearly. What was in his mind was the image of Zhang Hao shooting 10 out of 10 just now

    "Let the people in that city on the south coast see clearly that I can not only get a 100 million contract, but also have the best teammates!"

 Chapter 406 406. Two major medals obtained!

    A team that is prosperous for a while will not really let the NBA end, because there is always a time limit for a team to be strong.

    The Magic Birds era dominated the NBA from 1980 to 1988. In 9 seasons, except for Moses Malone's 76ers, the other 8 season champions were either the Lakers or the Celtics.

    But stars get old, stars age slowly, and helpers also get old and decline. After the Pistons ended the Magic Birds era, the Lakers did not regain the championship until the 1995-96 season. The Celtics are still repeating this.  in the process of reconstruction.

    Jordan and Olaju were very prosperous for a while, but they also came to an end.

    As long as the league's managers keep their brains in check and don't do those incomprehensible things, the emergence of dynasty-level teams and the emergence of teams that break the strongest performance in the past will be a great boost to the development of the NBA.

    ??This is true in the Magic Birds era, and this is true in the Bulls dynasty. They both allowed the NBA to develop greatly, in terms of income, popularity, influence and so on.

    When these great teams appear, if there is a team that can beat this team Just like the Lakers last season, they defeated the invincible Bulls who won back-to-back 70 games and received widespread attention around the world.  Extremely dazzling.

    Now facing the 73-win Lakers, any team that hopes to beat them wants to replicate their performance last season.

    As for a team that lacks strength, not many people will care if it loses to the Lakers. There are only a few teams that are considered opponents of the Lakers this year, such as the SuperSonics, Jazz, Bulls,  The Pacers, Heat, 76ers, and the Suns are obviously not in this league.

    The Heat were upset in the first round, and the 76ers were basically on their knees. Now, the three winners of the series, the Bulls, Pacers, Jazz and SuperSonics, are regarded as opponents of the Lakers.

    The Suns lost, falling behind 0-3, which was not surprising to the media and fans.

    Even the Suns players, team, and fans were not particularly surprised. It was just a bit regretful. They might have won the third game, but the Lakers did not relax and Zhang Hao broke out in the final quarter

    Zhang Hao¡¯s 40+ score in a single game this time came very suddenly!

    Even if the Lakers were to score 40+ in a single game in this game, after the first three quarters, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV felt that O'Neal should win.

    But in the end, O'Neal sat on the bench for the whole quarter, always being a spectator, and his mouth started to "o" when he saw it behind him.

    After watching the first three quarters, the fans also thought that the final quarter would be a fierce battle. As a result, Zhang Hao scored 15 points in a row, putting the game in doubt.

    The next morning, Time Warner Cable Sports' news program broadcast a scene - in the square outside the Great Western Forum Arena in Inglewood, Los Angeles, countless fans who had watched the live broadcast poured in and shouted "Ai."  If Kes says there is light, then the world will have light!".

    Barkley explains the famous scene +1

    The adjective used by other media for the Lakers' third game against the Suns was - dominance!

    The three main statistics of g1 are Jason Kidd with 10 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, and Zhang Hao with 37 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

    The three main statistics of g2 are Jason Kidd with 14 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, and Zhang Hao with 13 points, 17 rebounds and 16 assists.

    The three main statistics of g3 include Jason Kidd with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and Zhang Hao with 41 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

    ¡°Star Reacher:

    Goal 2:: Zhang Hao¡¯s score in the fourth quarter must be higher than Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s 17 points in the third quarter. If Anfernee Hardaway scores more than 17 points in the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao¡¯s score in the fourth quarter  Needs to be higher than Anfernee Hardaway's score in the fourth quarter.  (Zhang Hao scored 23 points in the final quarter and Anfernee Hardaway scored 18 points in the final quarter. Completed.)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Medal: Retreat Expert Fragments (13).  "

    ¡°The bright moon is in the sky, shining brightly, and all the stars are eclipsed The ultimate goal of the star-catcher is to hold the star in hand to trigger.

    Holding the stars in hand:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to lead the Lakers to sweep the Suns 4-0.

    Rewards: 1. Medal: Retreat Expert Fragments (13), 2. Magical insoles.  "

    In the task with Kidd, Zhang Hao had never been worried about the sum of the three main statistics. Kidd's scoring was too low. Even if Kidd had higher rebounds and assists, the total of the three statistics could not exceed Zhang Hao.  .

    The goal of having only a higher rebound total than Kidd was difficult to achieve at first, but now there is no problem.

    The mission of Star Reacher has reached the final step The goal of the last step is not difficult, but?The best counterattack line that its own counterattack consciousness can find.  "

    ¡°Holding the stars in hand:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to lead the Lakers to sweep the Suns 4-0.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the rewards: 1. Medal: Retreat Expert Fragments (13), 2. Magical insoles.  "

    "The fragments of Medal: Retreat Expert have been collected. Congratulations to the host for receiving the Bronze Medal: Retreat Expert."

    ¡°Step-back expert (bronze): After the player uses the step-back action, the force exerted when taking off will not be affected by the step-back action, and the player will always take off at the optimal bounce speed.

    Note: New effect of silver level: after completing the step back, the negative impact of the technical movements before the step back and the balance, coordination, force and other aspects brought by the step back itself are reduced.  Upgrade method: related to Anfernee Hardaway¡¯s exclusive task.  "

    Playing a series against the Suns, I got two medals at the same time!

    From a certain perspective, this means that the Suns really have great potential. Zhang Hao feels that he is very lucky. The Suns have just emerged, which is probably equivalent to the Lakers in the 1995-96 season.

    Whether the follow-up will get better and better, in addition to the core strength, the management's recruitment and the coaching ability are more important.

    This has nothing to do with Zhang. Although he hopes that Kidd and Anfernee Hardaway can become a strong opponent in the future, if the two fail to stand up due to other factorsfor example, Colangelo Jr. uses  Kidd's shocking move of replacing Marbury doesn't matter.

    There will be no shortage of powerful opponents in the NBA in the future. To be precise, there will be no shortage of powerful opponents until David Stern retires.

    These two medals look great!

    "Quarterback, the powerful bonus of dealing cards, has greatly improved my play style of reducing consumption and enhancing the ability to organize offense. My rebounding is not good, I have to practice, dealing cards in the backcourt to launch offensive details  You have to grasp it well

    ??As a step-back expert, this can be used immediately. I finally got the matching medal for turning around and shooting from behind.

    There is also an insole"

    ¡°Magical insole: You can designate the contracted player as the wearer, and it will automatically match his footsteps, perfectly matching the shape of the sole of the foot, the habit of exerting force during the game, etc. to protect the footsteps of the wearing player.

    Advanced usage: Attach a special card with the effect of evil retribution. It consumes 15 days of life and recharges once. It is triggered when facing a malicious action that will cause injury to the wearing player. The opponent who makes a malicious action will do something to the wearing player.  The damage caused by malicious actions will be reflected back to the opponent in that action, and can be recharged after being triggered.  "

    "Thiswhat a baby! I've always been worried about what to do after all the evil comes. I don't hurt others, but there are always some inferior people

    I don¡¯t worry about this now.

    Why did a long string of letters appear in my mind?  "

 Chapter 407 407. Golden Malone Elbow!

    I carefully thought back to the NBA 20 years later

    ¡°Although I most likely won¡¯t be able to hit that time, this thing is still necessary.

    It¡¯s this¡­¡±

    ¡°Magical insole production process:

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡±

    Zhang Hao took a look at it. It recorded in detail where each production equipment should be ordered, which company should order raw materials from and a series of other things.

    ¡°This is the method of producing this insole?

    Let me see, except that it does not automatically match the foot shape and playing style characteristics it needs to be customized by measurement and data analysis, the insole produced is the same as mine Oh, it does not have the function of assembling the rebound card, but it is  The foot protection effect is the same, but it needs to be customized and the yield rate needs to be guaranteed. How about getting one for little brother Yao?

    I remember that in the future, sneaker manufacturers would have their own insoles developed by themselves. Danshou Fen gave fans sneakers and even snatched the insoles back

    I seem to have seen something about the development of insoles in Nike's IPO report They are still researching and developing it. Can I be the first to seize market share in this area?

    Dad said that for a new sneaker brand, even if I endorse it, it might be difficult to grab too much market share. We don¡¯t have core technology, and we just buy stuff sold by other top sneaker brands. Although it¡¯s not bad, even if  Grabbing market share means making a small profit. Let¡¯s grab the patents for insoles first emmm

    ??????????????? But this thing is very expensive Wait, you can find someone else to invest if you're burning money!  It's best to build relationships and find those big investors. Only with the endorsement of those people can things go more smoothly.  "

    As a basketball player, Zhang Hao does not want to see any athletes injured, even if they are not professional athletes, just children, students, middle-aged uncles playing on the street He also hopes that those on the sports field can be healthy.

    If this insole is launched, it will be of great help to the promotion and development of basketball.

    It is a good thing for both public and private purposes.

    Having made up his mind, Zhang Hao checked the time. It was noon in China. Just in time, he dialed his father's phone number

    "Dad, didn't you say before that our sneakers don't have their own core technology? A small company that develops sports insoles contacted me, and I bought their technology. They have even planned the required equipment and raw material channels.  , just short of money, I directly bought their technology"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Aix, the Soviet Union has just disintegrated, the situation in Yugoslavia is also turbulent, and refugees have been displaced. It is said that the security problem at the World Championships in Athens is serious this time. What do you think of this matter?"

    "I discussed this matter with Mr. Howard Schultz, the owner of Starbucks. We hired a security force of 100 people and bought the best weapons and equipment. We have obtained permission from the Greek government and there are no problems with the security measures."

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Kenny Anderson didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to come up with such an answer!  He felt like he was going to have toothache again.

    Taking a deep breath, Kenny Anderson changed the question: "The market value of Internet companies has skyrocketed. Funds from all over the United States are pouring into the stock market. Many people sell their houses cheaply and invest their cash in the stock market. Akers, do you think I should do the same?"  How many millions should I invest in him? I happened to save some money."

    "Yes, you should take advantage of the fact that so many people are selling their properties and the housing prices are down, so you should buy it. Our family Lelin has bought a lot of houses recently. She has a good sense To be precise, her father has a good sense. The houses he bought must be all the best.  It is in an area that will appreciate in value. If you need it, I can help you ask her. I also bought 100 million points."

    "?" Kenny Anderson was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm asking if I want to buy stocks!"

    ¡°No need, now you can earn a fraction of what others earn by buying stocks, and you may become a leek if you play with leverage.

    In your situation, buying a house is the most suitable option. In two years, funds will move from the stock market to the property market. If you buy two houses, isn¡¯t your sixth child about to be born?  Buy a few houses that are not so luxurious but in good locations, just right for them to live in.

    Nowadays, when you buy a house, you buy it at a low price, and when you buy a stock, you buy it at a high price. You must buy at a low price and wait to sell it at a high price.  "

    "That makes sense"

    As he talked, he talked about life, and also touched on the points that Kenny Anderson was worried about, but at first he just wanted to "care about the international situation and review the financial environment", just like the uncles and aunts who ride the green train  , bored after training.

    But while we were chatting, Zhang Hao got down to business!

    Although it does make me feel inexplicably comfortable.?Try it!  "

    "I thought I was going to have another five or six bloody games with the Jazz, sweep the Suns, and have the chance to lose up to two games against the Jazz to continue my dream season I didn't expect the Jazz to fall in the second round. This was really avoidable.  In order to carry the title of Uncrowned King, from a certain perspective, they are much luckier than Lord Baylor?"

    "No surprise, Malone will still be at his peak next year. I remember he was MVP in the shortened season"

    "Actually, playing the Jazz may be better than playing the SuperSonics. We have figured out the Jazz's routines and have a clear advantage in the regular season. However, the SuperSonics and the other seven teams in the second round, except  The Sonics and the Knicks, the other teams didn't beat us in the regular season. The Sonics beat us twice

    Although Baker¡¯s impact is not as powerful as Rainman¡¯s, his skills are richer and more comprehensive.  "

    "It's a pity. If one of the two teams was in fourth place, I could have played against each other. I really enjoyed the playoffs last year"

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, it¡¯s the same for anyone you beat, you can only beat one. The team that beat us twice in the regular season is more interesting

    It¡¯s just that this girl, why does she love sleeping so much lately?  I must be too tired to help me contact the national team and sponsors these past few days!

    The food didn¡¯t taste good either. I said I had a bad appetite.

    "I just told Henry to leave this matter to Henry, I have to do it myself The Western Conference Finals will be played on the 21st, and I will take her out to go shopping and eat some delicious food tomorrow"

 Chapter 408 408. Do you want to die?  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    "The best thing about Malone's elbow is probably that except for the elbow swing and elbow thrust, there is no change at other times! It's not like before when I used strength training to improve my card, I had to work hard to practice shooting"

    Early the next morning, Zhang Hao came to the Time Warner Training Center for shooting training. After verification, it was determined that the strongest iron elbow at the gold level would not affect his shooting. He was quite satisfied.

    The only regret is Zhang Hao looked at Jason Williams who was practicing free throws

    Jason Williams finished a set of free throw training. Suddenly his vest became cold and he turned to Zhang Hao and shouted: "I can't practice back shooting with you! Impossible!"

    "Okay, okay, I know I just have a question, why have you practiced your free throws, but Mr. O'Neal is not willing to practice?"

    Jason Williams did not feel dissatisfied with Zhang Hao's words and responded: "He is so strong. If he can also practice free throws, he will have no weaknesses."

    "Who would worry about being too strong?"

    "Not everyone is like you. You are the strongest in the world at the age of 21, and you still want to become stronger. If every genius was like you, players like me might not be able to play for so many years."

    ¡°Jason, can you stop being so self-aware?¡±

    "My mother said that as a person, you must know your place clearly."

    ¡°¡­Say hello to your mother for me.¡±

    "Thank you, Aix, your girlfriend is hereHi, April."

    "Hi Jason, I'm here to meet Ax for lunch."

    "Oh! In the world of two, I won't disturb you anymore, bye"

    Without talking too much, Zhang Hao went back to the locker room, changed his clothes, and left with April Clark. At this time, he felt that Americans were good and very direct.

    Jason Williams calls himself a prodigal son and a non-marriage advocate. At this time, looking at the backs of Zhang Hao and April Clark leaving, he suddenly felt a little envious "Should I also find a permanent girlfriend?"  No No, no! How would Aix describe me? A single aristocrat! I am an aristocrat Eh? Did I forget something? "

    ¡­¡­

    ??Just finished the second round tiebreaker last night, today, the SuperSonics came to the town of Inglewood.

    When it comes to the main head coaches of the dead grass, this season, people will always mention Popovich of the Spurs, Larry Brown of the 76ers, Pat Riley of the Heat, and Nick  Team USA's Jeff Van Gundy But in fact, George Karl is just as much better than these people!

    It is true that George Karl did not catch the super giant and use it to death like these people, but in terms of coaching ideas, he may be more ruthless than these people.

    For example, George Karl has been trying to combine running and gunning with defense in the past two years, which is a track and field style of play.

    He wants to have Larry Brown's defense, Pat Riley's discipline, Nelson's offense, and Jackson's scheduling ability Not to mention, the current Sonics team has more or less of these things, coaching  George Karl definitely has the ability.

    It¡¯s just this kind of coaching philosophy that makes the Sonics players miserable. It¡¯s just that they have good records in these years, otherwise the players would have been ruined long ago.

    But dissatisfaction has been accumulating. No, there are already rumors that if the Sonics do not win the championship this year, George Karl will be fired.

    What¡¯s interesting is that George Karl did not change at all because of this rumor, but instead became more disciplined.

    ?Obviously, George Karl is not in chaos, because now he can only keep his position by going on firmly and striving to win the championship and at least reach the finals.

    Payton, Schrempf, Vin Baker and other stars did not fight against George Karl because they were dissatisfied with him. Payton was in his prime and did not want to waste his prime years because of this. At Schrempf's age, he could play a  He is one year younger and doesn't know how long he can last at his peak. Vin Baker is fighting for a contract in Canada

    The main reason is that George Karl¡¯s coaching performance is indeed good, and his coaching results are quite recognized by the players. The players are just dissatisfied with his coaching philosophy and methods.

    In the afternoon, the SuperSonics team¡¯s bus arrived at the Time Warner Training Center.

    During the regular season, Payton was very disgusted with George Karl copying Pat Riley's devilish training methods, but in the playoffs I have to say that in terms of maintaining and improving state, Pat Riley's devilish training methods  The training method has its own unique features.

    At this stage, Payton accepts it.

    There is only one team that can beat the Lakers twice in the regular season this season, and that is the SuperSonics.

    So, Pei?The strongest man, he blocked it

    "roll!"

    Zhang Hao elbowed McIlvay in the chest. Before McIlvay could say anything to stop him, he felt like he was hit by a hammer. He took a few steps back and hit the technical platform.

    ??This, how can anyone else dare to block it?

    Another point is that even the Sonics players, and even Payton, who has a not so clean style of play, feel ashamed

    Seeing Zhang Hao walking towards him completely unimpeded, George Karl began to tremble at this time. Under normal circumstances, he would never do it himself, but O'Neal just ran past their bench to show off his power, and his blood was flowing

    At this time, George Karl didn¡¯t even have the courage to run!

    Zhang Hao walked up, picked up George Karl and asked, "Mr. Karl, do you want to die?"

    George Karl was so frightened that he didn¡¯t know what to say. The referees came around and didn¡¯t dare to move. McElvay!  The 127-kilogram center was so elbowed by Zhang Hao that he looked like he was out of breath!

    At this time, O'Neal, who was running over with his butt sticking out and twisting and turning, hugged Zhang Hao and pulled Zhang Hao to his bench George Karl was grabbed by the collar by Zhang Hao and pulled two or three meters away. Only then did Zhang Hao  He threw George Karl to the ground in disgust.

    The referee finally breathed a sigh of relief and made the first penalty - George Karl was ejected for a second-level flagrant foul.

    Then, the referee struggled to discuss for a while, and also discussed with the technical desk, and finally decided on the penalty - Zhang Hao received a technical foul and a physical foul!

 Chapter 409 409. The beginning of the golden age of China¡¯s insiders (10,000 words, please vote for me)

    In the past, Jeff Van Gundy hugged Mourning's thigh and was dragged for more than ten meters, and now George Karl is dragged by his collar

    It sounds like the situation is similar. Although Jeff Van Gundy was ridiculed, he was widely praised. George Karl the fans at the scene wanted to strangle him. There was no need for Zhang Hao to take action. They did it!

    After being called for a second-degree flagrant foul and expelled from the game, George Karl not only did not argue, he immediately got up and walked quickly to the tunnel, then ran straight away from the court.

    The referee breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't tell whether Zhang Hao's expression was serious, but just now, George Karl might really be strangled to death because the referee thought about it, if he were Zhang Hao, he might really strangle George to death -  Carl's heart was full.

    Fortunately, Zhang Hao is calm enough

    Zhang Hao almost received a technical foul because his opponent was beaten by a criminal, which is reasonable.

    ??????????????? Almost hitting the opponent's head coach This is really rare. In fact, giving another technical offender is a common choice, but it is impossible!

    ¡°Referees are also human beings. No matter how professional they are, when faced with this situation, they will despise George Karl.

    ??Also, Zhang Hao did not make any follow-up actions. If he was given another technical foul, he would be ejected. This is the home court of the Lakers.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s behavior of intimidating the opponent¡¯s head coach cannot but be punished.

    The final decision was to give an unsportsmanlike penalty.

    After Barkley cursed George Karl, he saw that O'Neal was fine and saw the referee's penalty, and he also joked that this was the referee's highlight moment.

    With the help of the DJ, the excitement of the fans at the scene gradually calmed down.

    The main thing was that Zhang Hao stood up for O'Neal, and O'Neal was fine. The referees and officials on duty hated George Karl.

    As the head coach, George Karl committed a flagrant foul on the opposing player I have never heard of this operation, but I actually saw it!

    After the game, there will definitely be protests from the players union. The referees and technical officials who officiated the game will have their hands full.

    The referee heard the roar from the Lakers bench.

    "Aix, go up and beat them to death! Beat them to death! And you, don't relax even a little bit until the game is over! Beat them until they cry!"

    Zhang Hao listened to Silver Fox's voice and felt that he should give Silver Fox a switch at this time to make Silver Fox's hair explode.

    O¡¯Neal asked weakly: ¡°What about me?¡±

    "You go and check it out, no problem, come back in the second half and beat them again!"

    ¡­¡­

    For the SuperSonics, their assistant coach Paul Westphal took over the coaching temporarily and calmed the players' emotions in a timely manner.

    After the game was interrupted for a while, it finally resumed. The physical foul committed by Zhang Hao and the flagrant foul committed by George Karl were offset by two free throws each. Schrempf went to the free throw line and committed a technical foul on Zhang Hao.  Free throws, tough.

    The Sonics continued to attack. Payton's throw to the basket was palmed down by Ben Wallace. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 28-11 by 17 points to end the first quarter.

    With a 17-point difference in a single quarter, O'Neal went back to the locker room. Theoretically, even if George Karl was sent out, the Sonics would have the possibility of narrowing the point difference in the second quarter. If O'Neal could not come back, the Sonics would have  The possibility of a comeback.

    However, Brian Shaw completed a steal at the beginning of the second quarter. Zhang Hao counterattacked and caught the ball through Schrempf who was retreating and smashed the ball into the basket. The goal was valid and the referee gave an additional penalty!

    With Zhang Hao hitting the extra free throw, the point difference directly came to 20 points.

    When the SuperSonics attack came, the Lakers started a melee-style defense with Ben Wallace and Zhang Hao as the core, and Brian Shaw, Fisher, and Jason Williams working together to fight for their lives. They can be as fierce as they want!

    The Sonics have made adjustments during the break. Although they themselves are not ashamed of George Karl's approach, opportunities come when they come. As professional players, their first goal is to seize them.  Opportunities of the moment.

    But the Lakers' fierce defense still brought the Sonics' offense to a standstill.

    Paul Westphal responded promptly, replacing the inside combination of McIlvaye and Vin Baker, and the outside combination of Payton, David Wingate, and Dale Ellis. This is  They fought against the fiercest and fiercest defensive combination, trying to start from the defensive end to stabilize the situation, and then consider chasing points.

    This operation is indeed excellent, but Zhang Hao started to forcefully thrust with his arms!

    Normally, I¡¯m fine. Tonight, I saw Zhang Hao elbowing the 127-kilogram McIlvay until he nearly breathed his last. Super soundLoveit's so cool to win while lying down!

    Since the reporters asked sincerely, he answered mercifully "Eh?"

    A fat man suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Hao, blocking the camera!

    "We are going to sweep. Who is our opponent in the finals? Miller or Jordan? Let's decide the winner quickly!"

    Zhang Hao looked at O'Neal holding on to the camera lens. The cameraman couldn't move even if he wanted to, with a look of astonishment on his face.

    O'Neal continued: "Don't ask about our finals goal, ask us to sweep!"

    Still not giving Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Hubie Brown and teammate Zhang Hao a chance to speak, O'Neal continued: "Remy Martin is the strongest duo in the history of basketball, bar none!"

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao was speechless, even if he was trying to steal the camera, he also learned to answer questions!

    O¡¯Neal¡¯s face was so cruel that it probably frightened the little friends in front of the TV

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s give the camera to Big Fatty¡­¡±

    Zhang Hao just had this idea and was about to leave, when suddenly, the system prompt came!

    After looking at the system prompts, Zhang Hao spat out "I am".

    He didn¡¯t say anything this time!

    It¡¯s all this fat man¡¯s fault!

    O¡¯Neal was in the mood to grab the camera when he suddenly felt a chill coming from his vest. He turned around and saw Zhang Hao moving his arms with a gloomy face.

    O¡¯Neal ran away directly!

    "Didn't I just steal your shot? As for moving my arms? We are all master's students and cultural people!"

 Chapter 410 410. I find that I seem to be too serious (5000 words, please vote for me)

    When you are behind 0-1, you can force yourself not to think about the first game, and you can feel that the first game was because the coach was sent off.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When we are behind 0-2, we can comfort ourselves that it is an away game and it will be nice to return to the home court. Moreover, the interim head coach Paul Westphal is really good, and he almost won the second game by a loss.

    At this time, the thought of finishing the first game can be completely ignored.

    But when the score was 0-3, all the negative emotions of the Sonics players exploded.

    Their coach made a mistake and was suspended indefinitely, fired, and scored less than half of the opponent's points in the first game.

    That doesn¡¯t matter, their interim coach did such a good job, but they still can¡¯t beat them.

    We couldn¡¯t win even when we returned to home court.

    What is the difference between this and being eliminated?

    This is the third time the Sonics have faced the Lakers in four years, and they have been beaten every time. This feeling is a bit like the Bulls being defeated by the Pistons for three consecutive years from 1988 to 1990, and it was even worse.

    It is quite rare to be like Jordan, who has been bullied by the Celtics and Pistons for six consecutive years since his rookie year, and yet does not lose confidence, is not discouraged, is not frustrated, learns lessons from failure, and continues to get stronger.  .

    Anyway, the SuperSonics players looked at the Remy Martin Twin Towers who wanted to eat them alive in every game, with despair in their eyes.

    Even Payton looked at Kenny Anderson with envy. He was basically sure that Kenny Anderson would get a salary similar to his in the future, but Kenny Anderson had Zhang Hao and O'Neal around him

    What makes Payton feel most powerless is that Zhang Hao is 21 years old, O'Neal just turned 26 in March, and he will turn 30 this summer!

    The key is that he has already renewed his contract with the Sonics until 2003. When he is about to turn 30, he can still get a $12 million contract extension when he is 34-35 years old. He provided by the Sonics  When it came time to sign the contract, I signed it without hesitation.

    But at this time, he felt a little regretful.

    By completing the four-year contract extension ahead of schedule, he could have become a free agent in the summer of 1999

    The evening after the Lakers won their first away game, before the start of the Bulls' second home game in the Eastern Conference Finals, Time Warner Cable Sports was still promoting Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and SuperSonics. Bill Wall  He said this without even looking at the camera.

    This kind of thing does not have to be said by a "die-hard fan commentator" like Barkley who brainlessly brags about the Lakers to make Lakers fans happy. When Bill Walton said these words, Lakers fans were even happier.

    Tonight at 5:30, the fourth game of the series between the Pacers and the Bulls started. As expected, it was another exciting and fierce battle.

    But the strength gap between Jordan and Reggie Miller was revealed in this game.

    Jordan¡¯s stability is outrageous. In this Eastern Conference Finals, Jordan scored 7-9 points in almost every quarter of every game. He scored another 35 points tonight.

    But after playing 3 games, Reggie Miller only scored 8 points in regular time and made only 3 of 12 shots.

    There is also the aspect of Rick Schmitz. People never expected that Jackson put McGrady in the forward position, and Rick Schmitz moved to the mid-range and McGrady defended him. He really guarded him. Rick-  Schmitz had his worst series performance in the playoffs this year.

    But when Jordan defends Reggie Miller and McGrady defends Rick Schmitz, no one can limit the two Davises who take turns!

    ??Double Davis used their strength in this Eastern Conference Finals to prove that they are not just "Miller's bodyguards", but have truly brought out their All-Star capabilities!

    It¡¯s true that both of them are all-stars!

    In regular time, Dale Davis scored 23 points and 9 rebounds tonight, and Antonio Davis scored 22 points and 11 rebounds tonight. The two scored 40 points and 20 rebounds together, piercing through Rodman and Luke-  The inside guarded by Langley!

    The key is Jaylen Rose. Reggie Miller was restricted to collapse, but with the help of Mark Jackson, Jaylen Rose came off the bench and scored the second-highest 27 points in the game!

    Mark Jackson with 9 points and 11 rebounds, 27; Until the school beauty starts acting like a monster.

    The Lakers are already waiting for the Finals. On May 29, the Pacers will return home to continue their battle with the Bulls.

    The Pacers have already got the match point. As long as they win one more game, they can advance to the finals. However, the Bulls did not give up. Jordan made 19 of 35 shots tonight, plus 12 of 12 free throws. He scored 50 points and won the championship.  For the ninth time in his career, he scored 50 points or more in a single game in the playoffs. He led the Bulls to a 105-92 victory over the Pacers on the road. He single-handedly chased the score to 2-3, saved a match point, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.  Bringing back Chicago.

    ??True-to compete with a championship-level team on your own!

    Jordan once again proved his strength as the number one player in the league today, even though he is already a 35-year-old veteran!

    "Xiao Ming, you hit Chandler too hard. It may affect the friendship between China and the United States. Do you understand? You have to leave room for human behavior."

    "Brother Hao, no, I, I heard you say that Chandler will definitely enter the NBA in the future, and may even become the favorite for the No. 1 pick after graduating from high school. And you said you should be serious when playing against him and not be careless"

    "Then?"

    ¡°Then I realized I seemed to be taking it too seriously.¡±

    "That's right! I just asked you to be serious and not to be careless. Who asked you to be so serious? Now you beat him so badly. Look, how much damage have you caused to his young mind?"

    "What should I do? I defeated the No. 1 center in the United States. Will it really affect the friendship between China and the United States? What should I do?"

    "Just give more interviews. When asked about this, just say that when you hit Chandler, it was like you were dunking. You didn't notice anyone was defending. It was not intentional."

    ¡°????¡±

    "By the way, since you can't decide whether you want to enter the NBA directly after graduating from high school or go to college for a few years, you can ask reporters. When they help you with ideas, you can determine the answer you really want  I think you can go to college for two years, lock in the No. 1 pick, and then enter the NBA. You can also tell reporters what you think in an interview and let those universities know that you want to go to college.  I won a full scholarship, but Xiaozhi and I didn¡¯t get a scholarship. If you want to go to college, you have to get it.¡±

    ¡°????¡±

    Yao Ming is really smart now, his thinking is even smarter than his face!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together

    Will being too harsh in your agreement affect the friendship between China and the United States?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????

    Is the No. 1 pick position locked as soon as it is said to be locked?

    elder brother!  Do you have any misunderstanding about me?  Yao Ming is in chaos

    "By the way, Xiao Ming, have you been selected for the national team?"

    "The youth team invited me to join, and I agreed. In the summer, I will return to China to represent the national youth team in the Asian Youth Championship. Next year, I will participate in the World Youth Championship. My dad said that I may not be able to enter the main team until I am 20 years old."

    "Asian Youth Championshipthere are fewer points in a game like this."

    "Huh? Why?"

    "If you play games like that, it will affect the growth opportunities of young domestic players. They don't have many formal game opportunities. If you can give them more opportunities to train themselves, we won't play in just Asian games. Domestic players  It¡¯s enough to win the championship.¡±

    "Oh! I understand, Brother Hao, are you saying that you use this reason when you want to be lazy?"

    "I didn't say anything."

    "Brother Hao, when will you return to China in the summer?"

    "I have to wait until the NBA confirms the suspension before going back. After the finals, I will definitely participate in labor negotiations on behalf of the players union."

    "Then it will be after July 1st. I have to go back after watching the finals, and I also said that I will go back with you. Brother Da is going to participate in the draft, so he will have to go back then I really want to grow up quickly, so  I can play in the World Series with Brother Da and Brother Hao."

    Hearing what Yao Ming said and looking at Yao Ming who was already nearly 220 centimeters tall, Zhang Hao was very surprised. Could it be that Xiao Ming is just a toothpick?

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 411 411. I thought of an interesting tactic (11,000 words, please vote for me)

    "What toothpick?"

    "fine."

    "Brother Hao, do you think I should treat Chandler to a meal to express my apology?"

    "Why?"

    "I accidentally gave him an elbow that day"

    "It's okay, that's because he is too weak, it's his fault."

    "Brother Hao, this is wrong. You are claiming that the victim is guilty."

    "Xiao Ming, the guide is online! How do I feel that you have the potential to become a leader?

    But you are right, Xiao Ming, your three views are very correct.

    "It's just different in the competitive arena. If you are wronged by your opponent, you should fight back firmly, but if you are careless, you should apologize"

    Yao Ming returned to Los Angeles after participating in the McDonald's All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis. Zhang Hao and Yao Ming met for breakfast and had a casual chat before heading to the Time Warner Training Center to continue training for the finals.

    The playing styles of the Pacers and Bulls are very different. This time there is no way to do very targeted training like at the end of the second round, but we can't relax.

    At this time, the test is patience.

    Zhang Hao didn't want to go as wrong as the Lakers did in the 2001 playoffs in the original time and space. The Pacers and Bulls were definitely much better than the lame team led by Larry Brown. It was difficult to create an undefeated myth.  It's already higher than that Lakers team, and there can't be any problems.

    At this time, the effect of "Gold Level Return to Heart" is so useful!

    "Next, I hope everyone can continue to maintain the performance of the first three rounds and maintain good condition. We have to win from the beginning of the finals. We are not as strong as others. I can accept losing, but we cannot lose the game because of carelessness or insufficient preparation.  .¡±

    Zhang Hao's words lingered in the ears of the Lakers players. Even O'Neal gave up the idea of ??eating for two days and then practicing aerobics for two days to maintain a good weight because of these words.

    Silver Fox was very sad and angry. When he returned to Los Angeles yesterday, he also had a meeting, but after talking for a long time, you could still see the thoughts of "we are awesome plus" on the faces of the team members. Obviously, with 11 consecutive victories, everyone was in a state of disbelief.  Woke up.

    But Zhang Hao just said this, and it took 10 seconds for the teammates to focus again, train hard, and patiently discuss the details of small-scale cooperation

    "Fortunately, I still have the advantage of tactical reserves and on-the-spot command, otherwise my life would be robbed!"

    Silver Fox felt a little sad, but also secretly rejoiced.

    At this time, a tall and thin man appeared next to Silver Fox, who was watching the team members training.

    "Coach, I have a question for you. When encountering such, such, such, such, and such situations, what is the best way to adjust?"

    "You go awayumthis, you, this, this, this, thisisn't it enough? Do you still need to ask for such a simple adjustment?"

    "Oh oh oh, then this, this, that, that"

    "You move here and put two more people there like this"

    Although he said no in his mouth and refused in his heart, Silver Fox couldn't help but start teaching tactics.

    The second rest day after the Western Conference Finals passed, and after being pestered by Zhang Hao and asking questions for two hours, Silver Fox really felt that his coaching career was in darkness

    This damn kid is only 21 years old!

    When he was 21 years old, he was still playing NCAA at Milligan University. His four-year college career was mediocre. In an era when NCAA stars generally averaged 20+ points per game, he averaged 18 points per game in his best year.

    Zhang Hao is starting to learn how to be a coach!

    ¡­¡­

    "God Prefers Los Angeles"

    This title was used by major media again on the evening of June 1st.

    Back at home, the Bulls defeated the Pacers 102-95. Jordan scored 44 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 steals in a single game, leading the team to drag the Eastern Conference finals into a tiebreaker!

    Regardless of whether Jordan completed a comeback miracle from 1-3 deficit like Zhang Hao last year, or whether the Pacers held on at home for the last time, the Lakers' opponents once again reached the final game of the series.

    The Lakers' first three rounds were 3-0, 4-0, 4-0, and their opponents' first three rounds were 3-2, 4-3, 4-3. In terms of physical strength alone, the Lakers' advantage is like a natural selection.  The team is average.

    According to Sports Illustrated, the Lakers only had one day of rest after the Western Conference Finals and began preparations for the Finals in an orderly manner. There was neither the excessive enthusiasm nor romanticism under the guidance of devilish coach Pat Riley.  Head coach Don Nelson was so overindulgent that he trained when he needed to train and rest when he needed to.In the case of death, they scored 16 points together. The two have maximized their strength. But in this case, if you want to defeat the Pacers, you need the strength of Jordan. However, whether it is Zhang Hao or O'Neal, they both  One notch behind!

    At this time, the Lakers really felt that something was wrong with this game. However, at this time, they were completely awakened just like the Lakers in the 00-01 season in the original time and space when they encountered the rampant Iverson in G1 of the Finals.  , but it¡¯s too late!  We can no longer control the situation!

    If it weren¡¯t for Zhang Hao¡¯s performance of 33 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in three quarters, the Lakers might have fallen behind by a wider margin!

    Who is better between this Lakers team and the OK combination from the 2001 playoffs?  It's hard to say, but this Pacers team is much better than that 76ers team!

    Unlike Iverson who burst out and led the team to perform well, the Pacers are strong in team strength. If the opponent's defense is very horizontal and they go all out like the Bulls, even if the Pacers have a strength advantage, they will still fight.  It will be more difficult, but the Lakers' defense collapsed tonight, which is different. The team strength that broke out is even stronger than Iverson's 48 points in a single game.

    When he returned to the bench after the break, Zhang Hao could clearly feel the impatience and uneasiness of his teammates.

    People's hearts are very complicated. At first, the Lakers players felt that they didn't care so much about whether they won the championship. They felt that after the Pacers had this explosive game, they would win easily as long as they got serious. But when they won completely  When the championship was really about to slip away from their fingertips, they couldn't calm down.

    Silver Fox and his coaching staff had nothing to do about this situation at this time. They strengthened their defense. If the defense was not good, it would also cause problems on the offensive end, and problems had already occurred in the third quarter.

    Sometimes there are problems that cannot be solved at the tactical level.

    But not adjusting is not a good idea, but at this time there is no clear and effective room for adjustment.

    O¡¯Neal scored 20 points in three quarters, Zhang Hao scored 33 points in three quarters, and the Remy Martin Twin Towers scored 53 points in three quarters. If it were a normal situation, this would be the total score of the two.

    Just when Silver Fox was at his wits end and felt the team members becoming increasingly uneasy, suddenly, his hands were empty

    "Okay, don't look at me, I'm looking at you. Come here, listen to me, I will lead you to win the championship!"

    Finally, at this time, the effect of "gold level return to the heart" was fully realized!

    Before that the Lakers players were over -confident  It can be said that they were overwhelming, and because the facts were so on their own. At that time, they heard Zhang Hao's words, but they did not regard it as a life -saving straw.

    But now, they are putting all their expectations on Zhang Hao.

    ¡°Next, I will focus on the offense. Don¡¯t worry about your scoring. Focus on strengthening defense and confrontation. It doesn¡¯t matter if you commit a foulLeave the scoring to me, and I will go up and score.

    I thought of a tactic, it's very interesting Come here, don't be overheard.  "

    Hearing what Zhang Hao said, his teammates immediately surrounded him.

    Silver Fox saw that the team members just listened to Zhang Hao's words and showed expressions like drowning people were about to land. They were shouting "fuck". Then he heard Zhang Hao's last words and saw the team members surrounding Zhang Hao At this time, he  Remember, the tactical board is gone!

    Silver Fox started to move coquettishly, and found that this time the team members were extremely defensive and couldn't squeeze in with their tactical moves!

    The silver fox was so itchy that he wanted to squeeze in, but he couldn't!

    Suddenly, Silver Fox reacted and looked around. No players from the opposite team came to eavesdrop, and no reporters came to take secret photos

    "Don't let others hear it? Fu*k! Who are these people talking about? Could it be me!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 412 412. Let the basketball world suffocate!  (9600 words, please vote for me)

    For the Lakers, there is currently a pretty good situation - the cheers of the fans on site are full of confidence.

    When the five-man group of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and O'Neal came on the court, they felt the fans' trust in them.

    The positive emotions of the fans made the Lakers players on the field very excited.

    The Pacers sent out a starting lineup of Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, Dale Davis, and Rick Schmitz.

    At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, Kenny Anderson received Zhang Hao's serve and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt. It took 7 seconds to advance past half court, and he violated the 8-second violation to give his teammates time to adjust their positions.

    The position of the Lakers made the Pacers a little confused - Zhang Hao stood on the left side of the three-second zone, O'Neal mentioned the top corner on the right side of the free throw line, and Jason Williams was on the top left corner of the free throw line.

    Dale Davis and Rick Schmitz switched defenses decisively. Dale Davis stood between O'Neal and the basket to prevent O'Neal from cutting into the frame. Rick Schmitz squatted in the reasonable collision area.  Come out, Chris Mullin is always ready to cover Zhang Hao and pull out to catch and shoot.

    The Pacers' defensive intention is very obvious. If the ball reaches Zhang Hao, then multiple people will attack. If Zhang Hao goes to the left side of the three-second zone, then he will attack with Chris Mullin on the wing. If he goes to the right, Dale Davis will attack.  To cover the defense, if Zhang Hao wants to score at the basket, Rick Schmitz will be the main defender, and Chris Mullin and Dale Davis can shrink back.

    Relatively speaking, the defense against O'Neal is much looser. Rick Schmitz, who is squatting under the basket and cannot come out, is responsible for dealing with O'Neal who cuts in. Dale Davis only delays O'Neal's momentum.

    It¡¯s not that the Pacers don¡¯t pay attention to O¡¯Neal, it¡¯s that they have no choice but to prevent O¡¯Neal. It¡¯s just that although O¡¯Neal has good physical strength and incredible athletic ability, he is after all a 216 cm, 134 kg big center. His career has been up to this season.  In the postseason, he has not averaged more than 20 shots per game in a series. So far in his career, the highest number of shots per game in a single round of the playoffs was in 1996 and the second round of the Bulls, averaging 18.1 shots per game. Except for rare  Under such circumstances, players like O'Neal usually play a role in supporting the lower limit of strength. He cannot just throw him more than 30 times like an outside superstar, and he cannot say that he can soar and overwhelm the team's strength.  The upper limit is raised.

    Kenny Anderson reached the three-point line and encountered Mark Jackson's solid defense "It's exactly what Akers said!"

    As a top playmaker and offensive core who can average 20+10 per game when playing for an ordinary playoff team, Kenny Anderson can analyze the opponent's defensive intentions at a glance. If they play normally, they will most likely match the No. 1 team.  The same three quarters, they can only rely on the stars to maintain the basic offense, but the Pacers' offense is not just a basic offense, but an explosive state.

    Without hesitation, after Doug Christie ran up from the right sideline, Kenny Anderson immediately passed the ball to Doug Christie and led Mark Jackson to cut through the middle.

    Zhang Hao entered the three-second zone when Kenny Anderson passed the ball to Doug Christie and lifted it up from the center.

    All the Pacers players and the coach are confused. Is this a pick-and-roll in the penalty area for inside and outside players?

    ? Then why not use Jason Williams?  This rebounding maniac who was fortunate enough to be selected as an All-Star in his peak period is the best pick-and-roll player on the Lakers.

    The doubts of the Pacers players on the field were gone in a flash. Without thinking too much, they immediately started to move defensively and tried hard to analyze the team cooperation that the Lakers would perform. Dale Davis and Chris Mullin had a tacit understanding.  At the same time, back down the line, neither O'Neal nor Jason Williams has the ability to shoot from long distances. They mainly focus on the shots from both sides of the pick-and-roll by Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson.

    Then, the Pacers players watched Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson pass by without a pick-and-roll!  When Zhang Hao passed by Kenny Anderson, he accelerated towards the free throw line!

    Mark Jackson was the first to react and turned around to chase Zhang Hao. Dale Davis and Chris Mullin also reacted, and their retreating steps immediately turned into chasing Zhang Hao.

    But this time O¡¯Neal and Jason Williams closed their doors!

    Chris Mullin, Dale Davis, and Mark Jackson were all blocked at the free throw line!

    When Zhang Hao ran out from the free throw line, Doug Christie's pass had already arrived. Reggie Miller also reacted and jumped on the ball when Doug Christie passed the ball. Zhang Hao received the ball and moved forward.  He took a step forward and took off from the solid line semi-circle outside the free throw line. Ignoring Reggie Miller, who was pressing forward desperately, he turned over and took a jump shot

    Big empty gear, the opportunity is perfect, the rhythm is good, and I plan to vote like this from the beginning. Zhang Hao¡¯s front is two points long.Made 6 of 7 free throws, 50 points!  Zhang Hao scored 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs for the second time in his career to be precise, it was 50+ points in a single game in the finals for the second time in his career!

    With 2 minutes and 28 seconds left, we were 15 points behind. We played more than 9 minutes in the final quarter and only scored 11 points. The opponent scored 31 points No more fun!  Larry Bird directly replaced the main force and announced his surrender!

    Originally, the Silver Foxes wanted to send in a tank lineup to kill time, but the opponent's offense collapsed. They relied solely on O'Neal and Zhang Hao to score. Zhang Hao scored 17 points in a single quarter, and O'Neal also unknowingly scored 8 points in the last quarter.  It's just that Zhang Hao is too dazzling, and not many people noticed O'Neal's outstanding performance. Whether it is supporting the offense or defending the basket on the defensive end, he is the most important one

    25 of the 31 points were scored by the two of them. The rest of them are now tanks. It can be seen that the opponent's defensive actions have become rougher than the Lakers. In this case, it is best to switch to a pure tank lineup.  Good choice.

    But who allowed that dead kid to score 45 points before the official timeout?

    Fortunately, before the high confrontation turned into conflict, Zhang Hao's score increased to 50 points.

    Quickly taking advantage of the opponent's call for a timeout, the Silver Fox replaced the lineup with Fisher, Brian Shaw, Rick Fox, Ben Wallace, and Sean Lukes.

    Although it can be guessed that the opponent is about to replace the main player, Silver Fox does not dare to be careless. When the opponent's substitute player comes up, his actions may be even more careless.

    The Silver Fox promptly replaced all starters and replaced them with a lineup that relies on confrontation and defense to grind out the rhythm. In the last 2 minutes and 28 seconds, the Lakers only scored 3 points, but the opponent only scored 5 points.

    When the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 116 to 103. The Lakers defeated the Pacers in the final quarter and won with a 13-point advantage!

    Throughout the final quarter, the Pacers only scored 16 points, and Zhang Hao scored 17 points alone!

    Zhang Hao scored 50 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. After the final whistle sounded, his data was displayed on the big screen. Not to mention his opponents, his teammates were all confused.

    After the game, Barkley came to conduct a post-game interview on behalf of t.n.t. He ran like a flying pig, and he was simply a meat tank.

    "Akers, you scored 50+ points for the second time in the Finals tonight, surpassing Jordan, Baylor, Barry, West, and Pettit to become the first player in NBA history to score 50+ points twice in the Finals.  Player! You continue to lead the team to create greatness. You have won 12 consecutive playoff games and are still 3 games away from winning the championship and completing two consecutive championships Is there anything you want to say?"

    Barkley immediately started bragging mode. After bragging for a long time, he suddenly remembered that he was here to conduct a post-game interview to ask questions, not to brag in person, so he asked a random question.

    Zhang Hao was speechless for a moment and said: "We won the first game, but I don't want me to have to play like this to win the next game. It's a bit tiring to play like this."

    A little tired Barkley held back his complaints and continued to ask: "Is there anything you want to tell your teammates about the next three games?"

    ¡°These two fat men, even when they became commentators, they did not forget to help their old club to attract hatred

    "Say somethingOkay, there are three games left, let's make the basketball world suffocate because of us!"

 Chapter 413 413. Don¡¯t you want to win FMVP?  (5000 words, please vote for me)

    In the first game of the Finals, the Lakers faced the Pacers who were in great shape in the first three quarters at home. They made a strong comeback in the last quarter. Zhang Hao scored 50 points in a single game. The major TV stations combined for this game had more than 24.22 million paid views, ranking first this season.  The postgame has the second highest total so far, with only the Eastern Conference Finals tiebreaker¡¯s 30.67 million paid views higher than this game.

    It seems that the difference between this game and G7 of the Eastern Conference Finals is more than 6 million paid views. It seems to be a big gap. After all, the total paid views of the NBA Finals in North America more than 20 years later fell below 6 million.

    But in fact, in the past four years, only the tiebreaker in last season's finals had higher ratings than this game.  The ratings of the finals in 1994 and 1995 were not as good as this game.

    At the beginning, although the attention of G1 of the finals was high, it was similar to the ratings of g4 of the 1995 finals, with more than 18 million paid views.

    Countless people were excited when they saw the Pacers leading the Lakers by 5 points after the first three quarters and already taking a very strong initiative in the situation. From the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, countless people were excited.  , the number of priority phone and wireless communication users in the United States suddenly skyrocketed, and soon, the number of paid viewings of this game skyrocketed by more than 2 million times.

    Then, after 1 minute and 31 seconds before the game, the number of paid viewings skyrocketed by more than 4 million times, and continued to increase by 500,000 times in the remaining time.

    There were more than 24.22 million paid viewings. According to the US pay TV user statistics released by the TV station, the ratings reached 17.3%. According to the TV station¡¯s calculation method, 50 million people in the United States alone watched the last quarter of this game.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s crazy performance of 12 points on 5-for-5 shooting in the first three and a half minutes of the final quarter was seen by countless people.

    ??And 9 and a half minutes before the Pacers surrendered and the game entered garbage time, the Pacers only scored 11 points.

    Many people noticed O'Neal's outstanding performance of 11 points in the first half, 17 points in the second half, and a total of 28 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal.

    But compared with Zhang Hao¡¯s crazy performance of 50 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, O¡¯Neal¡¯s outstanding performance was ignored.

    In the history of NBA, there are only a few people who have scored 50+ points in a single game. Baylor is the top scorer in the finals. Barry and Zhang Hao each scored 55 points in a single game once. The logo man once scored 53 points in a single game. The Eagles  Team legend Bob Pettit once scored 50 points in a single game. Before, only Jordan had scored 50+ points in a single game twice in the Finals, once in the 1993 Finals and once in the tiebreaker of last season's Finals.

    Zhang Hao also scored 50+ points in a single game in the tiebreaker of last season's finals. Although he scored 50+ points in a single game in the finals as a sophomore, not many people really expected him to get it for the second time.  Things are so difficult, it is not just a matter of strength, it requires too many comprehensive factors to achieve.

    But Zhang Hao did it in the first game of the finals for the second time in his career!

    Jordan¡¯s achievement of 50+ points in two single games in the finals was tied by Zhang Hao!

    After the game, Zhang Hao told his teammates that there were three games left in the finals. The meaning was obvious. It meant that what Zhang Hao said before about "creating a myth" was to prepare for a complete victory in the playoffs and win the championship!

    Originally, public opinion believed that the Lakers would definitely be able to defend their title this year. This year's Lakers lineup is not as good as last year, but their performance is significantly stronger than last year. Compared with last year's Lakers and Bulls, the Pacers are far behind.  It's quite obvious.

    "It's just a matter of sweeping the championship and winning the playoffs, which is still open to question.

    But now, the Pacers broke out immediately but were still beaten to death by Zhang Hao in the Great Western Forum Arena

    The call for a complete victory and championship is getting louder and louder!

    However, an interview after the game caused quite a bit of controversy.

    ¡­¡­

    On the morning of the second day of the first game of the finals, Zhang Hao returned to the living room after morning practice and was about to go back to the room to take a shower when the little Lolita who got up early heard a startled voice.

    "Brother, come and see, Big Bird said your tactics in the fourth quarter were illegal!"

    Zhang Hao stepped forward and read today's morning newspaper.

    Last night, at the post-game press conference, Larry Bird didn't say anything. When asked about Zhang Hao's trash talk before and during the game, he laughed it off.

    But in an exclusive interview with American Cable Channel at 11 o'clock last night, Larry Bird complained that Zhang Hao received too much help from moving pick-and-rolls. He singled out that the Lakers' "elevator door" tactics at the beginning of the fourth quarter had the problem of moving pick-and-rolls.  Condition.

    "Don't pay attention to him, he just wants to find some psychological comfort for their players. According to NBA rules, this cannot be regarded as a moving pick-and-roll."

    "Why?"

    "what why?"

    "Why can't this ball be considered a moving pick-and-roll?"

    &The Atlanta Hawks will be responsible for holding the second joint trial training, which is also the last large-scale training before the draft.

    The training day arranged by Silver Fox is tomorrow. Everyone will stay in the hotel to rest today and are not allowed to go out.

    The fans here in Indianapolis are in a very bad mood now. The Lakers have booked the hotel and hired a lot of security because there are Pacers fans shouting and cursing everywhere outside the hotel. God knows if there will be any unexpected situation.  During the security period, the logo man arranged a grounding and was not allowed to leave the hotel.

    However, there is no training today, and there is also regular post-game analysis - Zhang Hao's game analysis teaching class.

    O¡¯Neal was extra serious this time, wanting to see clearly whether Zhang Hao had any emotional changes due to the impact of fmvp.

    "It's a pity that he didn't see any difference between Zhang Hao and usual. He was patient, meticulous, super analytical, and excellent in summarizing He was as good as ever, as if he was not affected by his big fat attack on FMVP at all.

    After Zhang Hao analyzed the game, Yinhu went up and summarized several key points, and asked the editor to cut the video and send it to the players.

    After the analysis meeting, we really have a day off and have a good rest. We will start training tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, it will be the fourth game of the finals.

    O¡¯Neal returned to the room and struggled for a while, then set off to find Zhang Hao.

    No one was found in the room. Finally, Zhang Hao was found in the hotel¡¯s indoor court, where he was practicing mid-range shooting.

    Without interrupting, O'Neal sat aside and waited. For a player like Zhang Hao who trains hard, O'Neal still admires him so he applauded silently.

    After Zhang Hao finished a set of mid-range shooting practice, he picked up a towel and wiped his sweat and came to O'Neal and asked: "Mr. O'Neal, what can I do?"

    "nothing¡­¡­"

    "Oh, then I will continue training."

    "Stop!"

    O¡¯Neal was still struggling, but Zhang Hao was going to stop him!

    Seeing Zhang Hao stop and looking at Zhang Hao's doubtful but clean eyes, O'Neal said directly: "I'm robbing FMVP, do you know?"

    "I know."

    "You don't want to fight?"

    "I said, if you want to take the initiative to play singles, and your singles is indeed a high-quality choice, I will lead my teammates to create the best singles opportunity for you, even in the finals."

    ""

    "Besides, Mr. O'Neill, you may not be able to compete with me. I am really strong."

    Keep your promise, be confident and calm, have outstanding talent, and be powerful Now, O'Neal really can't stop him!

    June 14, 1998, the game day of Game 4 of the NBA Finals arrived.

    When the strength gap between the two sides in a series is so large that a sweep can be achieved reliably, the attention of this series may not be low, but the ratings are usually not that high, even in the finals.

    For example, in the 1995 Finals, every game was actually very intense, but after the Rockets led the Magic 3-0, the g4 ratings plummeted. It's not that no one paid attention, but because the score was so high, many people just wanted to  Look at the results in the newspaper or on the TV news.

    This time is different. Although the advantage of the Lakers this time is far greater than that of the Rockets in 1995. Everyone knows that the Lakers will win, but the topic, the intensity of media coverage and publicity, and even the booking of paid viewings  The situation has reached a new high in this year's finals.

    There is a bit of a gap between the ratings of the Eastern Conference Finals tiebreaker, but the ratings of the Eastern Conference Finals tiebreaker are too high. In the history of the NBA, only three playoff games have exceeded 30 million paid views for a single game, and one was last season's Finals game.  7. The first time was the 1993 Finals G6, which had a ratings of over 25%, which was quite special.

    This kind of thing requires direct comparison. For a finals that has a high probability of sweeping the championship, G4 has booked more than 20 million paid viewings, and the final viewing situation is expected to exceed 25 million times. This has never happened in NBA history.

    Even if we compare G5 in the finals, which was decided 4-1, the ratings of tonight's game are still ranked first.

    Even fans who don¡¯t like the Lakers and people who have been criticizing the Lakers in various ways in the past few days don¡¯t want to miss this game as long as they have time.

    Because the Lakers may surpass the 1983 76ers who won the championship with 12 wins and 1 loss, and become the first team in NBA history to win the playoffs and win the championship!

    For fans who are passionate about basketball, they don¡¯t want to miss this kind of big scene, even if it¡¯s not the team they support, even if it¡¯s a rival team.

    There are still some people who are looking forward to it - O'Neal is making money mvp with Zhang Hao!

    It can be seen from g2. In g2, O'Neal almost got a double-20 and a triple-double in blocks in the finals. Although he didn't get either, his performance of three 20 points, 19 rebounds and 8 blocks was very exciting. In g3,  O'Neal has already begun to grab the ball.

    Will this eventually turn into an internal conflict within the G4 Remy Martin Twin Towers, causing the Lakers to lose G4?  Did the unstoppable victory in the mouth fly away?

    ¡­¡­

    Today, the Lakers have a lot of interviews, and they have to accept interviews. Most people regard today as the last game day of the season, and the same is true for the Lakers. It is the last game day, and it cannot be justified not to accept interviews.

    Fortunately, I had a day off the day before yesterday, and I did a good job preparing for the battle yesterday. There are many chores today, but it doesn¡¯t have any impact.

    At 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Hao started to warm up, and his teammates also came to warm up one after another.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was almost time to enter the stadium. Zhang Hao called his teammates together, including O'Neal, and gave instructions on the small adjustments he wanted. Most of his teammates had no objections.

    After Zhang Hao made some small adjustments before the game, O'Neal called Zhang Hao aside: "You want me to attack from behind for the whole game? Isn't that bad? It's unfair to you. Let's do it one by one?"

    "Is this what you would say? Could it be that I am dreaming now?"

    "What do you mean!"

    "Ahem, it doesn't have to be like this. No, it can't be like this. Don't underestimate the Pacers. If we give them a chance, they may really defeat us. Have you forgotten what happened in the first game?"

    "But¡­¡­"

    "The first thing we have to do is to win the ball and win the game! Now that you are ready to attack, you have to make the best adjustments around this point. Okay, you go and get ready to enter. That's it.  .¡±

    Hearing this, O'Neal didn't hesitate any longer. The opportunity was right in front of him. FMVP would be stupid not to fight for it!

    Seeing O'Neal adjust his mentality and walk to the player's tunnel, Zhang Hao thought, and the system prompt came.

    "Host Jason Kidd 1995-1996 version of the star experience card, ability evaluation 85 consumption lifespan 30 days special usage"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off.

    "50 points in a single game. I have the advantage in scoring the highest in a single game. I scored higher in g1 and g2. Even if Big Fatty scores more tonight, it doesn't matter. 2 to 2. Statistics. Big Fatty has a big quasi-triple-double."  , I¡¯ll do a true triple-double, that¡¯ll be it"

    ¡­¡­

    The Great Western Forum Arena was filled with jubilation, and Lakers fans were almost suffocating with excitement.

    The glorious history of their Lakers team will reach a new high this year!

    In many ways, this season has been a great one for the team.? 

    At the award ceremony, David Stern first announced that the Lakers had won the championship. The trophy rotated in the hands of the Lakers players, management, and coaching staff. After being individually photographed, it finally came to O'Neal, who held it in his arms.  .

    When it came time to award the MVP award in the finals, O'Neal still had the slightest expectation, but it was already very low. Moreover, at this time, he was not as frustrated as he had expected if he failed in the competition. Instead, he faced it all calmly.  .

    David Scott once again invited Bill Russell, the King of the Ring, to present the award. The King of the Ring¡¯s expression was so disgusting The Lakers have won 13 championships!

    Regardless of the upcoming shutdown, David Stern's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile when he thought of the topic, attention, and ratings of the NBA this yearespecially the further expansion of the Chinese market: "Ladies and gentlemen  , the winner of the NBA 1997-1998 season finals MVP award is our gentleman, Stone Buddha, Son of Light, Aix-zhanghao!"

    When David Stern called out Zhang Hao¡¯s name, the scene was boiling again!

    O¡¯Neal watched Zhang Hao take the Finals MVP trophy from Bill Russell. He must have been unwilling to give up, but at least this time, O¡¯Neal was convinced!  Different from the frustration of not being able to compete with Zhang Hao for FMVP last year due to the absence of g7, this time, I really lost without losing my temper.

    Zhang Hao led the Lakers to fmvp and won two consecutive championships. The number of championships in the Lakers' team history increased to 13!

    "Aix, what do you think of this dress? Is it too plain?"

    "How about this one No, no, will it be considered too open?"

    "Will you be scolded for wearing high heels? I heard from my Chinese student friends that Chinese girls don't wear high heels when they are pregnant"

    ¡°What gift should I buy?¡±

    "Aix"

    "Aix"

    "Hey" Zhang Hao felt pain in his head. He suppressed his complaints and said bravely: "We still have half a month to go back. You can choose slowly, don't be in a hurry."

    It has been five days since the finals ended. The post-win celebrations and championship parade back in Los Angeles have ended long ago and it is already June 20th.

    This season the Lakers have played 97 games, with 88 wins and 9 losses, and are unmatched in the limelight. But after a few days have passed, people's attention has been focused on the upcoming draft.

    There are championships every year, and it will not affect the next season's championship competition just because of how great last season's championship was. On the contrary, it will affect the next season because last season was a failure.

    The Lakers played the most glorious season in team history, but the post-game celebration was short. They returned to Los Angeles on the 15th, a fan appreciation event on the 16th, a championship parade on the 17th, and a holiday on the 18th.

    ??For the Lakers, the draft is nothing important, but there is another matter - labor negotiations.

    The Lakers and Knicks are the two teams that are least willing to shut down. They would rather make concessions in income distribution than shut down. They are the two teams that make the most money in the league.

    The bosses are not monolithic, but there are many bosses who are willing to fight to the death. The players are facing a situation where their income is going to be reduced, and many players were still receiving low salaries in recent years.  support.

    Jerry Buss and James Dolan are working hard on this matter. They want to promote labor negotiations so that even if the lockout does not affect the normal start of next season the goal is clear, but in implementation, it is almost impossible to complete.  Task.

    But you still have to strive for either a miracle or to accomplish the impossible.

    "It's just that, 100 people who want to create a miracle, there is a high probability that 100 people will not be able to create it.

    Zhang Hao has to stay in the United States. In a few days, after the draft, he will go to New York on behalf of the players union to participate in the last negotiation of the current labor agreement. The flight ticket is booked for July 1st.

    He didn¡¯t have any expectations, he just had to participate and support the stars who were on the front line.

    ¡° Even before it was confirmed that he was going to return to China, Zhang Hao was already helping April Clark get a visa and would take April Clark back with him.

    Counting the original memories of coming to this world and integrating them, from the age of 15 to now, it has been almost 6 years since I returned to China. Zhang Hao was a little excited.

    However, his calm personality allows him to patiently do what needs to be done in such a mood.

    April Clark feels that her clothes are not suitable for going to China, and Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t understand what China is like in her world view.

    Because under the official guidance of the United States, the image of China portrayed by the media to the public is probably equivalent to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons in Journey to the West, the Blood Mist in Naruto, and the Frieza Legion in Dragon Ball

    This kind of guidance is very effective for the vast majority of Americans who have low IQs, poor discernment, and low academic qualifications, and such people are the majority in any country.

    Under this kind of public opinion, just like in the WeChat group of a loving family, if you post an anti-chicken soup statement, you will be expelled from the family group. If someone says that China is good, tell some facts, such as a few sentences about the current situation of China's economy.  As things get better and better, and the quality of the people improves they will be attacked in droves.

    There are some people who do not doubt the public opinion guided by the U.S. official. However, these people firmly believed in this before. If they change their minds now, wouldn't they be admitting that they were a Sabi before?  So simply make yourself more convinced of what you have always believed.

    Of course, there will definitely be people who want to understand China more objectively, but in the United States, even if you feel that what the American media says is inaccurate, there is no way to truly understand it.

    So, there are really only a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Even Americans who have a good impression of China, if you ask 1,000 such people, there will be 1,000 different views of China in their world view.

    Zhang Hao learned that China in the eyes of April Clark is a mysterious organization with ancient culture, dreamy stories, a long history, shrewd businessmen a mixed bag.

    April Clark decided to go out and buy some formal clothes. Since she was not worried about her usual private clothes, she decided to wear, the trade resulted in the Kings' No. 7 overall pick this year and a protected first-round lottery pick in 2000.  "

    Finally, the first deal in the lottery area is here!

    Wang Zhizhi just discussed with Zhang Hao which team would complete the transaction. Zhang Hao said that the Raptors might use Jamison for Carter, who was selected later. Unexpectedly, he was the one who was traded!

    "The hat Wang Zhizhi was wearing was taken off, and the Magic's career as a player was over in 6 minutes

    After receiving the draft rights from the Kings, the Magic selected Michael Doleak with the 7th overall pick.

    Someone finally came to see Wang Zhizhi, but it was not the person from the Magic team who selected him, but the general manager of the Kings.

    Wang Zhizhi failed to play under Nelson and went to play under Adelman Although it was a spare option, it was not bad. Zhang Hao was very satisfied with it.

    ??Continue to watch the draft, originally just to watch the fun, and then wait for when Pierce will be selected.

    With the 8th pick, as Zhang Hao expected, the Warriors selected Vince Carter with the 8th pick, swapping with the Raptors.

    Unlike the Kings, who also picked up a future lottery-protected first round, the Warriors and Raptors are purely one-for-one. The Raptors just want to save some money, and the salary of the 8th overall pick is higher than that of the 5th overall pick.  Much lower.

    With the 9th pick, the first non-Green Room member to enter the lottery appeared. The Bucks selected Dirk Nowitzki from the German Second Division with the 9th pick!

    After the selection, the Bucks reached a deal with the Mavericks. The Bucks sent Nowitzki and this year's 19th overall pick from the Timberwolves to the Mavericks in exchange for their beloved University of Michigan genius Robert Te.  Lehler.

    Although there have been some changes in the draft with the addition of Wang Zhizhi, the overall draft changes are not very different. The wheel of history is turning, but the turning progress is not that fast. Damn it, it is still bad at present, and the 76ers are still standing.  Woke up.

    After Nowitzki put on his ball cap, the big screen showed Nowitzki's game highlights in the Bundesliga 2 and the draft template.

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao was speechless as he looked at the images on the big screen used to compare catch-and-turn jump shots.

    People at the scene also looked at him. After the video and template video were played, the big screen also cut to the camera facing him.

    "It doesn't matter if Duncan's template says it's me, Nowitzki is also me Are there even half a cent between these two people?"

    Zhang Hao cursed, and the big screen cut the screen again, cutting to the sub-stage.

    The deal is here!

    Zhang Hao continued to watch and watch the excitement.

    The host on the sub-stage said: "The Lakers, Celtics, and Kenny Anderson have reached an agreement. Kenny Anderson signed a five-year, 70 million sign-and-trade contract with the Lakers. The Lakers used Kenny  -Anderson and the 29th overall pick in the first round were traded to the Celtics for the 10th overall pick in the first round.¡±

    "Damn! My house is on fire just to watch the excitement!"

    Just as Zhang Hao was about to curse, Kupchak quickly ran to his side and took him to the draft office.

    Kenny Anderson and Celtics executive vice president Dan Foster were also there.

    Before Zhang Hao could get angry, the man with the logo took the lead and said: "We have submitted our draft list and selected Paul Pierce from the University of Kansas."

    "I was shopping with my wife to buy things for my little daughter. The general manager called me and said that the Celtics had provided me with a maximum salary offer, but the team could not give me that much money. I agreed, no.  I¡¯ll inform you in time.¡±

    "I see."

    "The deal won't be officially concluded until July. If I'm actually willing to lower the price to 10 million to renew the contract."

    "You are stupid! The Bass family can give you 8 million at most, right? I know this. Even if they give you 10 million a year and sign for three or four years, you will still lose tens of millions."

    "You're not angry?"

    "Why am I so angry? It's just a surprise If I remember correctly, the team hasn't talked to you about contract renewal yet. When the lockout is over and the free market opens, you will choose the Celtics' 7,000  10,000, or the Lakers¡¯ 40 million or 50 million?¡±

    ""

    "That's right, Boss Kenny, don't waste your money because of your feelings."

    Kenny Anderson felt that his eyes were fogging up. He felt like he had become a traitor, and it was the boss who betrayed the junior brother but at this time, Zhang Hao was still comforting him.

    After chatting about the next aspects of life, Kenny Anderson will not go to Boston so early. He will wait until the labor negotiations are settled and the NBA lockout is over. After all, Boston is not a good place for players with skin colors other than white.

    Everyone knows that a shutdown is inevitable.

    Kenny Anderson still had to go back to the hotel to talk to his wife about the big deal of getting $70 million and preparing to move to Boston.

    Changing teams is a big deal for any player.

    If the Celtics give him less, Kenny Anderson will not make up his mind so quickly.

    70 million U.S. dollars is really too much. It is almost 30 million U.S. dollars higher than the contract the Lakers can offer. This is a sign-and-trade contract before the lockout. After the lockout, if there is really a very low proportion of player income  Distribution, when a new contract is signed, it will definitely shrink even more. Although this is unlikely, it is possible, and it is right to get the $70 million first.

    Zhang Hao also thinks so about this.

    Helpless and reluctant to give up, but there is nothing we can do.

    The Celtics offered 70 million U.S. dollars, with an annual average of 14 million. This is indeed unexpected. Kenny Anderson¡¯s market value is indeed at this price. There are teams willing to give such a contract, but after the lockout  , the new labor agreement will be reduced to some extent.

    At this time, the Celtics offered such a contract to the Lakers and Kenny Anderson. The purpose is self-evident - they want to break up their Lakers team!

    Who least wants to see their Lakers continue to win the championship?  Without a doubt, the Celtics.

    Now the Lakers have 13 championships, which is only 3 championships away from the Celtics' 16 championships.

    If the Celtics were not in a hurry and wanted to sign-and-trade during the offseason, they would probably have gotten a future first-round lottery-protected pick like the Cavaliers and Raptors will do in the future.

    ¡°The Celtics will definitely be the most aggressive team to stumbling upon us next, right?¡±

    Zhang Hao returned to the draft scene and left for more than half an hour. It was already the second half of the first round of the draft. Except for Corey Benjamin, a well-connected person, and Al Harrington, a high school student, there were 14 other members of the Little Green Room.  They all put on their hats By coincidence, Al Harrington was selected by the Pacers with the 28th overall pick in the first round.

    Immediately afterwards, the Celtics sent the 29th pick in the first round from the Lakers to the Bulls, and the Bulls selected Corey Benjamin, the nephew of their vice president of public relations.

    "Either we choose to co-author, or the Bulls choose?"

    After watching the first round, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t want to watch the second round. He was in a bad mood and was ready to have some fun.

    Wang Zhizhi still has to watch the draft and will discuss the contract with the Kings later. Henry Thomas is already in place.

    ¡­¡­

    On the other side, the draft office.

    Unlike the members of the Little Green Room, rookies who are not members of the Little Green Room cannot stay at the scene after being selected. Pierce was taken to the draft office by the Lakers.

    The logo man looked at the excited Pierce He was not sure about the talent of this junior who claimed to be the son of the Lakers. In theory, he was not bad, but he was too talkative. It was said that his private life in college was very uncontrolled Originally, this  It has nothing to do with him, but the Celtics asked them to contact Kenny Anderson in advance at this time.

    It will be difficult to keep Kenny Anderson this year, and the logo man knows this very well.

    There is a high probability that Kenny Anderson will be lost directly in the end. The players themselves are not so sure. As a top management team, the logo man knows that he will.The situation, the domestic sports world is like that now. Wang Zhizhi is already in good condition. He has not officially entered the A-A and escaped the constraints of the Blue Association on his career early. But if he wants to return to the national team smoothly, these sacrifices must be made.  , and Wang Zhizhi himself agreed.

    The NBA lockout began. On the evening of July 1st, Zhang Hao had already taken April Clark and boarded a plane with Wang Zhizhi, flying first to Yokohama, Japan, and then to Beijing.

    After arriving in Beijing on the afternoon of the 2nd, Zhang Hao went home with April Clark and met his parents.

    Originally, he was worried that there would be some flaws in his "first time" seeing his mother in this life, but when he saw his mother calling out "Mom", all worries were gone.

    I have met Dad Zhang Weidong many times, and April Clark has also met Dad several times.

    The mother-in-law has known for a long time that her son has found an American wife. Recently, she heard that she was pregnant. As soon as they met, she started urging her to get married

    ¡­¡­

    "Haozi, I won't rush you about getting married. You have always been very independent, but the nationality, our son, must be Chinese. I will find a way to get the naturalization done. This matter  It¡¯s not up to you.¡±

    "Yes, yes, I know."

    "It's good to know, but don't stay abroad for a few years and forget who you are."

    ¡°Okay¡­ isn¡¯t it more difficult to become a citizen of our country if you are born in the United States?¡±

    "It's quite difficult, and we can't let Xiaoli stay in the country alone. But with your current status, I'm trying to sort out the relationship. It might be difficult for Xiaoli, but my grandson should be fine."

    Zhang Hao did not object to the previous one, but at the last sentence Zhang Hao retorted strongly: "It's my daughter!"

    Zhang Weidong quit and shouted: "It's Sun Tzu!"

    "It's my daughter! My daughter is my caring little cotton-padded jacket!"

    "It's the grandson! Only the grandson can inherit the family business!"

    "Inherit the family business? Does my old Zhang family have a throne to inherit?"

    "You stinky boy, you need to be dealt with, right don't run away!"

    On the other side, April Clark was guessing and chatting in her broken Chinese with her future mother-in-law in broken English. When she saw the two men quarreling, April Clark was a little surprised.

    I listened to both sides and understood a little bit of the content of the quarrel. They were probably arguing about whether they were having a boy or a girl.

    "What's there to argue about?"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Due to her pregnancy, April Clark is not suitable for running around for two months. When she returns to Zhang Hao's parents' house, she stays in Beijing to rest. If she wants to go to Athens, she has to wait until the World Championships start to go there, so she can take good care of her baby first.  .

    Zhang Hao stayed at home for two days and argued with his father for two days off. On July 5, he met Wang Zhizhi and went to the training ground in Tianjin arranged by the Blue Association.

    "We will be training here until the 20th. The news I learned is that we are going to Crete, Greece on the 21st."

    "CreteAegean Sea? Why go there so early? Doesn't the World Championships start in late August?"

    ¡°Of course traveling at public expense is very positive.¡±

    "oh¡­¡­"

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because he has been abroad for a few years, but Wang Zhizhi¡¯s personality is obviously much more cheerful than when he first went to the United States. Moreover, he will complain about some things to Zhang Hao when no one is around. Of course, he will definitely not say these things when there are outsiders.

    Arriving at the location agreed upon with the national team, after waiting for a long time, someone finally arrived.

    What a coincidence, old acquaintance

    Zhang Hao took the initiative to say hello: "Coach, long time no see."

    The silver fox took a deep breathhere he comes!  The day has finally arrived!

    "Let's go, your teammates are waiting for you two."

    Silver Fox¡¯s attitude was very bad, and even Wang Zhizhi was despised.

    Zhang Hao is used to it, but Wang Zhizhi feels that the Lakers coach is not so easy to get along with

    Following Silver Fox, people from the national team, and people from the Blue Association, they arrived at a training ground.

    When Zhang Hao saw the candidates for the national team in the training team, he knew why they had waited so long. Obviously, the national team was ready to wait for them to come back.

    The 30 or so semi-national players are now posing for photos!

    Wang Zhizhi is an old friend of these prospective national players. We know most of them and greet them casually.

    But everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao thought about it and thought it would be better to just say hello like that!

    With a smile on his face, Zhang Hao introduced himself: "Hello, seniors, I'm from Beijing, my surname is Zhang, the arrogant Zhang."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The surname is Zhang, the arrogant Zhang.  "

 Chapter 417 417. The peach picker also has this day!  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    No foreign accent, pure Beijing accent, still youthful face, arrogant self-introduction More than 30 League A basketball players at the scene all screamed and cheered.

    He is coming, he is coming!

    Seeing this, Silver Fox asked the translator next to him: "What did he say?"

    "Uh" The translator thought for a moment and decided to translate it: "Zhang said he is from Beijing and is very arrogant."

    ¡°???¡±

    Silver Fox felt an inexplicable pain in his balls - why did this damn kid conquer his teammates so easily wherever he went?  Is this his first time joining the national team?

    He has been in China for half a month. He came here on June 20 and has been training with the training team for 10 days.

    ¡­¡­

    After Zhang Hao introduced himself, Wang Zhizhi began to introduce him to the members of the training team.

    It¡¯s true that not everyone knows Wang Zhizhi. Some of them have entered the main team from the youth teams of various provinces in the past three years to participate in the A-League and were finally selected for the training team, but most of them do know each other.

    After meeting each other, they dispersed. In any place, people must be divided into circles. Wang Zhizhi and his close national team teammates gathered together. Zhang Hao said hello in a circle and followed the Blue Association staff to handle the matter.  Related procedures.

    I didn¡¯t encounter any trouble, but the process was complicated.

    When it came time to test his height and weight, Zhang Hao fought hard and weighed himself, 108 kilograms, but his height was filled in by himself, 206 centimeters. This height and weight were perfect.

    After finishing the trivial matters, Yinhu took Zhang Hao to his office and gave Zhang Hao a list.

    "This is?"

    "This is my list of 10 other people besides you and king."

    Zhang Hao took a look and found some basic information and some brief comments on the list.

    Hu Weidong, 28 years old, 198 cm, 95 kg, shooting guard, the strongest outside line in Chinese basketball.

    Liu Yudong, 28 years old, 198 centimeters, 108 kilograms, power forward, super shooter of Bayi team, strong body, good skills, the inside and outside combination with Hu Weidong is a strong duo in the world basketball world, and the Chinese men's basketball team  Others have more obvious gaps.

    Wu Qinglong, 33 years old, 191 centimeters, 100 kilograms, defender, tough, strong and brave.

    Li Xiaoyong, 29 years old, 189 cm, 85 kg, defender, with comprehensive skills and steady playing style.

    Shan Tao, 28 years old, 216 centimeters tall, 125 kilograms, is a strong backcourt rebounder with good frame protection and fixed-point mid-range shooting abilities.

    Gong Xiaobin, 29 years old, 200 centimeters tall, 104 kilograms, the best athletic power forward in Asia, can run 100 meters in 11.3 seconds.

    Battelle, 23 years old, 211 centimeters, 130 kilograms, center, strong body, capable, not fast but with delicate skills.

    Ah Dijiang, 31 years old, 182 cm, 80 kg, point guard, the best point guard in Chinese basketball.

    Li Nan, 24 years old, 198 cm, 100 kg, small forward, accurate outside shooting, sharp offensive rebounds.

    Sun Jun, 29 years old, 198 cm, 105 kg, small forward, good three-pointer, excellent athletic ability, and extremely strong.

    "Most of them are three-point shooters. The two centers are both meat shields. The power forward God of War is a technical player, and Gong Xiaobin is an athletic player. They are all very good. The outside line Wow! It's incredible! The weight of each of these outside lines is almost catching up.  Me! With such a strong body, I am not like the future men¡¯s football team. I won¡¯t be unable to dribble the ball when facing the US team Uh NBA players boycotted the World Championships in Athens this year. The US team seems to be a group of college students.  Pity¡­¡­

    What a pity!  "

    Looking at China¡¯s Jordan Hu Weidong, the most stable point guard in the history of the national team, Adijiang, and national team captain Sun Jun, these three brothers are already this age. When Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming enter their maturity, they will be old.

    The Three Musketeers of Liaoning have all started to suffer from injuries. Wu Naiqun, the violent insider among the Three Musketeers, was also selected for the training team. This short swingman once completed a dunk on Mourning's head, and his playing style is full of enthusiasm.  It is a pity that Wu Naiqun, who is bloody but at his peak, is missing one due to injury.

    "Yugoslavia is still here this year, so it is unlikely to win the championship, but there is still a chance. The Olympics the year after next let's try our best this year first! We all have to fight, and we must seize the opportunities brought by the golden generation of outsiders and give it a try!"

    After reading the list, Zhang Hao handed it back to Silver Fox and asked: "Coach, what should I do next? Training?"

    Silver Fox responded: "There is no training scheduled today. This is a tactical manual. Take a look at it. Tactical training will begin tomorrow. Others will be slowly eliminated in the next three weeks."

    "Now that the roster has been decided, can't we focus on practicing teamwork?"

    &Hao Zhong Investment's rating increased from 92 to 93.  "

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 21 years old on January 7, 1977.

    Height 211 cm, wingspan 222 cm

    Weight: 108 kg.

    Position: Forward

    Team: Los Angeles Lakers.

    Ability evaluation: 90

    Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 93, jumping 94, flexibility 95, stamina 94

    Shooting: 84 three-pointers (85 in the top arc area, 84 in other areas), 93 mid-range shots, 95 layups

    Skills: 84 for ball control, 79 for passing, 93 for catch and shoot, 87 for catch-and-turn jump shot, 87 for high post skills, 71 for low post skills, 85 for cutting, 64 for jump steps, 86 for turning, 90 for ball control and change of direction, and quickness.  Stopped the jumper and shot 76"

    In the past 20 days of training, Zhang Hao has made progress in some aspects. His three-point shooting has improved slightly, and his emergency stop jumper has improved from good to good. With the help of Liu Yudong, Hu Weidong, Sun Jun and others, his turning and cutting have improved.  I gained a new understanding and made some progressbut compared with the joy brought by CIC's progress, it is completely different!

    It took almost a year and a half for the mid-range shooter to make no progress. Finally, during the finals, there was a clear feeling of improvement. After joining the national team and starting the training mode, the mid-range shooter training analysis combined with the simulation training, plus Li Nan and Liu Yudong's  Guidance Finally, after a year and a half, the original mid-range shooting limit was broken and raised to 93!

    "Joining the national team is indeed the right choice. God of War, Boss Hu, and Xiao Li Feidao are amazing! In terms of shooting, Boss Hu is probably about the same as me. God of War and Xiao Li Feidao are better than me in terms of shooting, and their  The weight and confrontation can all adapt to the international arena. No wonder so many people regret that the golden period of Wang, Yi and Yao on the inside is different from the golden period of Hu Boss and the others on the outside!"

    In fact, the system prompts that the evaluation has increased to 93. It is not true that at that moment, his CIC strength has increased from 92 to 93. It is just that he has accumulated enough.

    But this kind of ability to clearly see his own improvement can give him more motivation to train than just training in silence and only testing it in the game!

    "Continue to practice, the CIC expert has the effect of breaking the ceiling of the top-level CIC, that is, I can at least reach the super-top level with a 95 evaluation through training Keep practicing! Well draw the lottery first, and start the gold-level lottery!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 418 418. God Killing Completed (4000 words, please vote for me)

    I had wanted to draw a lottery for a long time, but because the effect of the CIC training has been obvious recently, I was worried about which training card I would get and which one to practice first. Anyway, the offseason is long, so I will first practice the CIC until I improve it.

    "The host uses a gold-level lottery and consumes 1 gold lottery Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Coach Exclusive Medal: Teacher (Bronze)."

    "Teacher (Bronze): When the host guides a contracted player to learn a technique that has been written in the host's learning mode, the teaching effectiveness is improved, the learning player's learning ability is improved, and the training effectiveness is based on the host's own proficiency in the technique.  , learning players¡¯ own talents and other comprehensive factors to gain bonuses.

    You can initiate teaching goal setting before coaching a contracted player. The specific goal setting system will determine and issue teaching tasks based on the host's completion of writing this technology, learning the player's own talent, and other factors.

    Note: A single written technology can only trigger the effect once for a single signed player.  "

    "This, that, my, damn When will I be able to be a mentor? I'm still polishing technical details with my national team teammates Wait, think about it carefully, I seem to be learning recently  All are external technologies

    It doesn¡¯t matter, I actually got a coach¡¯s exclusive medal!

    "If you want to teach, it must be a family tradition. It is passed down from daughter to son, and my daughter is not even born yet

    ??This medal, to be honest, is definitely not bad. After all, it is a coaching system. The rewards obtained from the beginning are all related to being a coach.

    But I¡¯m not a coach yet, so this thing is a waste!  You can only use it if you have players at your disposalEh?  I seem to have a contracted player and let Xiao Zhizhi be the guinea pig?

    ¡°No, if you want teaching guidance, you must be fully prepared, otherwise it will waste both my time and Xiao Zhizhi¡¯s time. You have to analyze what I know and whether Xiao Zhizhi can learn it"

    ??Drawing a prize also made Zhang Hao confused.

    The gold lottery times are used, and the bronze and silver lottery times and opportunities are reserved for the competition, just in case they come into use.

    There is also a chance to win a golden lottery

    "I won't use the life-consuming things for now. The downtime is so long this time, there are so many places where I need to use my life. I also have a lot to train on. This year, it is more important to steadily polish my basic skills. My strength is still  A simple, rough and effective style of play to connect the team"

    In this playoffs, too many lifespans were not consumed. Basically, they only consumed double lifespans when replaying the game. At other times, the lifespan expenditure was well controlled. This is very important for him to cope with the long period, because he has to spend a lot of time during the offseason.  Using the simulation training mode, the consumption is doubled every day. The longer the offseason, the more lifespan is required. No, it was only 40 days after the end of last season, and more than 60 lifespan was spent. During the training period, the simulation was used every day.  If you check and fill in the gaps during training, it will go more smoothly when the actual training comes.

    And these necessary life consumption cannot be saved, otherwise it will be a disguised waste of life.

    There is a certain probability that you will meet someone in the future and fall in love with a certain skill of that person. If you ask for two days of teaching, you can use Tracy McGrady¡¯s talent but it will also cost you your life.

    He decided to wait for this lottery opportunity before using it after the lockout. Anyway, there is no shortage of progress goals now.

    "Wait a minute, instructor how about opening a health-preserving class? No, no, no, don't rush. You only have one chance for each person to give guidance. You have to be prepared for this. You have to find a way to write the health-preserving method into a book first.  , this training method has not yet been included in the learning model."

    Turning off the system screen, Zhang Hao planned to continue practicing mid-range shooting for a while. He would continue training while the progress was obvious, so that he would not try impulsively and waste a teaching opportunity.

    Suddenly, the system prompts are coming

    "Godslayer (Diamond) (only):

    Goal: Prevent Michael Jordan from winning more than five championships before he retires again.  (completed)

    Advanced goal: Prevent Michael Jordan from winning more than 4 championships before he retires again.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Michael Jordan Designated Specialty Transformation Medal (gold), Matching Technology Training Card (Super Top: 95).  "

    "Hey, what happened? Boss Qiao retired again? It's too sudden!"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    On July 25, when the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team arrived in Crete, Greece, the men¡¯s basketball Asian Youth Championship began.

    ??The Asian Youth Championship is a trivial matter in the world of basketball. No one even cares about it in Asian or Chinese basketball circles, just because there is a young man under 18 like Zhang Hao who plays in an American high school.The board members refused to negotiate, that is, before September 20.

    It¡¯s a big deal, but one day has passed. On the Greek side, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team has also continued to train in an orderly manner.

    The Chinese men's basketball team is in a golden age on the outside. Each outside line has some unique skills. Zhang Hao can learn some things more or less, such as small details of shooting, such as grasping some opportunities These teammates may not have the same skills when playing outside.  Zhang Hao is strong as a small forward, but experience is not about strength.

    By August 5th, it has been 10 days since I arrived in Greece. On August 8th, the FIBA ??12-man roster will be announced, and on August 12th, the group draw will be held.

    At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Silver Fox announced the final list of 12 people.

    Point guard: Ah Dijiang, Li Xiaoyong.

    Shooting guards: Hu Weidong, Wu Qinglong.

    Small forwards: Li Nan, Sun Jun.

    ? Power forwards: Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin.

    Center: Shan Tao, Battelle, Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Hao.

    The other members of the training team who came to Greece together will be sent back home in the next two days.

    Although they were not selected for the national team, it was a good experience for these players to train with the highest-level athletes in the country.

    After staying together for so long, feelings will develop to some extent, especially for players who have been playing in China. When they parted, there was a sentimental atmosphere in the arena.

    Hu Weidong saw Zhang Hao sitting in the corner with a sad face, and went up to comfort him: "Haozi, don't worry about this matter so much. It's just a game. It's normal for teammates to come and go"

    "What?"

    "what? What?"

    "What did Brother Hu say is normal?"

    "Uhwhat are you thinking about?"

    "I'm thinking about what technology I want to develop next. I've been thinking about it for more than ten days, but I still haven't made up my mind. I want to learn Jordan's technology. You said it's better to learn to lean back, and I will continue to strengthen what I learned from him.  Is your back ready?"

    "???" Hu Weidong was confused. Let's not talk about anything else. Is it possible to learn technology if you want to?

    No, it doesn¡¯t mean that you can learn this problem if you want to.

    What Hu Weidong heard from Zhang Hao's tone was - you can learn it if you want to!

    Looking at Zhang Hao's serious face, Hu Weidong calmed down. First, he allowed himself to accept the prerequisite that "you can learn if you want to learn." He thought for a moment and said, "You can refer to my opinion. Look back. This is  As for the final way of shooting, your ability to initiate offense and find shooting opportunities is very strong, but the diversity is not enough. Now it is not that important whether you play with a back-up or a back-up. If it is a post-up or a back-up, choose one and work hard.  Practice, I think you will be more effective if you continue to expand your back-up play."

    "Thank you Brother Hu, I understand, I will think about it"

    Zhang Hao has been struggling for the past 10 days as to which of Jordan's technical strengths should be converted into medals and obtained matching super top training promotion cards.

    "Super top training upgrade card: 9 stages accumulated, each stage has 9 parts, each part is 9 hours, with 1 hour of effective training as one accumulation. After opening, at least 1 hour of effective training must be completed every day.  If completed continuously, the continuous accumulation will be interrupted and the accumulation will be restarted.¡±

    Although he has not yet decided which one to choose, he received this system prompt after getting the super top training promotion card. At the moment, the World Championships is more important, and there are games later. In other words, he does not have that time before the end of the World Championships.  Make sure you can complete 1 hour of effective training every day, so don't rush.

    Although only the cumulative tasks of the training card will be interrupted and the regular training effect after starting training will not be affected, it is not less than that time to train every day for a few months when the national team is training.  , it is better to develop new technologies than to practice your own strengths.

    But the new medal must be obtained before the World Championships begins, and you must spend time in training matches to familiarize yourself with the medal bonus and integrate it into your playing style. This is a gold-level medal that can have immediate effects.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been struggling with offense How about thinking about defense? System boss, can I get the Jordan Defense Transformation Medal?¡±

    "Michael Jordan is known as the strongest perimeter defender in NBA history. Michael Jordan's defensive characteristics are as follows"

    "Well, you know you can't have it all at once."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 419 419. The expansion of the defensive end begins!  (4000 words, please vote for me)

    ¡°Covering the sky with one hand¡±, ¡°chaser¡±, ¡°isolated and helpless¡±, ¡°dislocated expert¡±¡­

    "He is worthy of being the best defender in the history of perimeter defense. His defense is very comprehensive! Single defense, assist defense, switching defense, frame protection they are all top-notch on the perimeter. But, can this medal not be so freehand? It can't be more direct! Choose!  I still need to guess a medal!¡±

    Zhang Hao is once again in a dilemma. If there is a game tomorrow, he may make a decision in a few moments, but the key is there is still a little time, so he is very confused

    Offense or defense?

    This is a problem.

    ¡°No, no, no, we can¡¯t dwell on it any longer. Although there is still time, we must get this matter done quickly, otherwise it will affect the mentality of preparing for war.

    Let¡¯s review my current situation.

    First of all, I cannot make my skills more comprehensive by strengthening one strong point.

    I am only 21 years old, and there is still enough time to expand my skills, and there will be other opportunities to gain offensive skills in the future.

    ??The fadeaway jumper I am interested in, as Hu Ge said, is not really helpful to me at the moment. It will be more effective when I am older, such as 30 years old, but it is not necessary now.

    I don't have many specialized skills on the offensive end yet. Before I organized the offense, I had Kenny as my boss to support me, but now I don't have a big guy on the inside. I don't have to panic, so now I should practice basic skills, and  Do a better job of supporting the passing game.

    I have been practicing defense, but there is still a lot that needs to be strengthened on the offensive end. After all, I have only played for three years. Most of the top talents spent the first three years on bad teams honing their offensive skills. Defense is just like that. I am similar on the defensive end.  Apart from strengthening the defense around the bottom line ruler, there is no other clear goal"

    Most of the time, when people encounter trouble, they always struggle with "why is it so troublesome?" and it is difficult to clarify their thoughts. In fact, most of the time, as long as you think about it carefully, no matter what the conclusion is, you will usually make a good choice.  But there are not that many people who can patiently go through their thoughts. Most people will become irritable and angry at this time, even if it is not a bad thing. They often become irritable when they are entangled.

    The calm mentality developed from the outside to the inside allowed Zhang Hao to think clearly after it became clear that he could not continue to delay.

    "The goal of offensive training in this long offseason is to develop more skills and skills that have already been decorated to a first-class level. It would be great if there were more top-level skills. The main thing is to practice the basic skills of shooting.  No matter how fancy your skills are, they are not as important as the ability to put the ball in the basket.

    Super top-level training improvement card, a rough calculation, if you want to compete, it is estimated that you can train well in a year. If you train for 81 days, it is basically impossible. It is good to have 5-6 hours of effective training a day, even if it is  If there is no competition, it will probably take 5 months Of course it would be nice to have time, but there is no time.

    Then, defend!  "

    Having made up his mind, Zhang Hao stopped worrying and began to analyze what those freehand medal names actually represented.

    ¡°Covering the sky with one hand This should be Jordan¡¯s steal.

    Chaser, this should be Jordan¡¯s chasing cap.

    Isolated and helplessone-on-one defense?

    Dislocation expert, Jordan seems to have been beaten when he defended Barkley in the finals, but the defensive effect is actually not bad I can't understand it anyway, so I just chose a handsome name and was alone!  "

    "The host uses a special card: Michael Jordan's designated characteristics to transform into a medal (gold). Select the medal: Isolated and Unaided (gold). Congratulations to the host for receiving the medal: Isolated and Unaided (gold), and obtain the matching super top training promotion card: Pressure Defense Master  (Super Top: 95).¡±

    "Master of pressing defense?"

    "If the host chooses a medal related to misplaced defense, the accompanying training card is: Master of Dislocated Defense. If the host chooses other defense medals, the accompanying training card is: Master of Pressure Defense."

    "¡­¡­oh!"

    ¡°Isolated and helpless (gold):

    1. When the player wearing the ball is engaged in one-on-one defense near the three-point line, if the defensive target chooses to shoot, the bullet speed will be +5; if the defensive target chooses to break through, the wearing player will have a lateral movement speed +5, and can always move horizontally at the fastest speed.  If you successfully determine the direction of the opponent's change of direction and the defense is in place, you can get the second lateral movement acceleration bonus.

    2. When the player is wearing it for one-on-one defense in the mid-range, the opponent's dribbling prediction is greatly improved, and the explosive power is +3.

    3. When the player wearing the ball is defending a one-on-one post-up situation, if he attempts to steal, his speed will be +5 within 1 second when performing the steal. If he attempts to block a shot, his bullet speed will be +5 when performing the blocking action.

    4. Whenever the wearing player completes a steal or block through one-on-one defense, if the wearing player¡¯s team seizes the ball and the ball is not dead, the wearing player willIf you want to be in the top 4, you have to win at least the top 8 games. Xiaozhi and I play together, which means we win one game 15 destiny!  Gotta rush!  "

    This morning, Zhang Hao got news from his distant cousin Zhang Weiping. Yao Ming led the National Youth Team to easily win the Asian Youth Championship and got a ticket to the 1999 World Youth Championship. The 19-year-old Yao Ming will still have the opportunity to participate.  , is expected to become famous in the World Series like Wang Zhizhi.

    In addition, Yao Ming's performance in the Asian Youth Championship successfully attracted the attention of the Silver Fox.

    Originally, Silver Fox had a deep impression of Yao Ming, the talented center from Inglewood High School. After taking over the job of head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, he naturally had to understand the genius among Chinese basketball players.

    At present, the Chinese men's basketball team has great outside players who are at their peak, but the younger generation has not been able to catch up. There are some who are pretty good, but they are only at the A-A level, which is obviously two levels weaker than Hu Weidong, Li Nan and others. The inside line is not bad, anyway, with Zhang Hao  , you can do whatever you want.

    Wang Zhizhi was selected with the 4th overall pick. He performed well during the NCAA period. Yao Ming performed well in high school. He also performed well in his first appearance in the world arena.

    At the Asian Games in October this year, the Chinese men's basketball team must finish in the top two to confirm their ticket to the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

    The contract signed by Silver Fox is for this Olympic cycle of only three years, which will expire after the 2000 Olympic Games. Of course, if he does not get the top two in the Asian Games, he will be fired directly.

    Zhang Hao Yinhu didn't want to take him to play in Asian games, and he was upset when he saw it.

    If it is clear that the suspension will not resume operations until after October, such as November or December, then take Wang Zhizhi, who is a player from another team anyway.

    After learning about Yao Ming¡¯s performance in the international arena, Silver Fox felt that it would be appropriate to take Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi to the Asian Games.

    Zhang Hao also understood these trivial matters and didn't care too much. Yao Ming's talent is just that some future Internet sports celebrities will look down on him. Anyone who has seen Yao Ming play with his own eyes knows that he is a talented center that is difficult to find in ten years.  , starting from the Asian Youth Championship and entering the national team step by step, there was no problem at all, even if he was in high school.

    ¡­¡­

    Time passed day by day, and soon, by mid-August, the other 14 participating teams also came to Greece one after another.

    There are gradually more interviews and documentary shoots from domestic media, as well as media interviews from other countries directed at Zhang Hao.

    On August 17, the Chinese men's basketball team was invited by the organizer to do an event. It was a rare public appearance. Zhang Hao's popularity in Europe surprised his teammates. Zhang Hao himself was also quite surprised, and he came to the scene to greet thousands of fans.  With excitement, everyone in the Chinese men's basketball team knew why the organizer invited them.

    For this World Championship, Zhang Hao¡¯s deepest feeling is just one - terrible!

    Zhang Hao paid attention to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and they did a great job.

    When we arrived in Greece to hold a world competition, Zhang Hao recalled the Rio Olympics

    On the 18th, Zhang Hao represented the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team and went to the group draw.

    I had average luck and was placed in a group with Germany, Lithuania, and Australia, but it was okay. It was much better than South Korea. South Korea was placed in a group with the United States, Yugoslavia, and Italy. It was completely impossible for South Korea to win.  The hope is not for the World Championships to be held in South Korea.

    Lithuania is very strong, Germany and Australia are in the second tier. According to the feedback Zhang Hao received from the veteran players of the national team, with him and Wang Zhizhi joining him, it won¡¯t be a big problem to beat Germany and Australia. They can score 2 out of 4 and win two games.  And there is no hope of winning against Lithuania.

    With the three opponents in the group stage determined, the direction of preparations becomes clearer. There are 15 participating teams. For the study of these opponents, the national team has already made full preparations.

    Time passed day by day, and on August 21, Zhang Hao made another clear improvement.

    It¡¯s not the continued improvement in the mid-range shot that he¡¯s been thinking about, but the three-pointer!

    ¡°The overall three-point evaluation of special contract player Zhang Hao has improved to 85.¡±

    Recently, Zhang Hao's head coach's three-pointers from both sides have finally reached the first-class upper level of 85. Although it has just been reached, there is still a slight gap between it and the top arc area, but he finally reached the top arc level like NBA.  As I thought when the area three-point distance was extended, the three-point shooting became balanced.

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 420 420. Quarterfinals opponent Team USA (asking for monthly votes)

    On August 24, the 1998 Men¡¯s Basketball World Championship started.

    The Greek team and the Angola team started the opening match of the World Championships.

    The Greek team is in a group with Angola, New Zealand, and Brazil. Except for Brazil, the other two teams are weak teams, which is basically equivalent to a walk-off to the quarterfinals

    There is no suspense. The Greek team slaughtered the Angola team 79-54 and easily won the opening game.

    On August 25, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team ushered in the match against the Australian team at the Monte Athletic Stadium in Piraeus, Athens.

    The star of the Australian team is Luke Longley, who is currently playing for the Bulls.

    From 1992 to 1996, the Chinese men's basketball team played against the Australian team three times, with 1 win and 2 losses. Each time they played fiercely, the Chinese men's basketball team had a clear advantage on the outside, but was always suppressed by the opponent on the inside.  .

    The semicircular FIBA ??three-point line specification with a distance of 6.25 meters also has no defensive three seconds, and there is no reasonable offensive collision area for NBA and A-A. With a big center like Luke Longley, the Australian team has too much advantage.  , with it as the core to play zone defense, those European powerhouses will have a headache.

    This time it was different. After Zhang Hao won the jump ball from Luke Longley, he directly started the three-point wave shooting mode more than one meter away from the three-point line.

    Silver Fox sent out a starting lineup of Ah Dijiang, Hu Weidong, Zhang Hao, Gong Xiaobin, and Wang Zhizhi. Xiaoyao Wang and King were responsible for rushing down and defending. Hu Weidong scored suddenly, Ah Dijiang distributed the ball, and Zhang Hao fired from a distance.

    When it came to the rotation stage, the combination of Li Xiaoyong, Hu Weidong, Li Nan, Liu Yudong, and Zhang Hao came on the court. The four major pitchers lined up and Zhang Hao broke through and scored.

    But when the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team took advantage, it was not at this stage, but during the defensive counterattack from the second half of the second quarter to the first half of the third quarter!

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s more rough and wild defensive moves, the basic defensive skills, consciousness, and judgment still need to be improved, but the horizontal movement of the top arc defense is more fierce, the pressure is more tyrannical, and it seems that even the physical fitness has improved

    "This damn kid, how long has it been since you made progress again?"

    In the nearly 14 minutes of the game, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team, led by Zhang Hao, beat the Australian team 23 to 11. At 8 minutes and 11 seconds of the third quarter, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team led the Australian team by 17 points, 67 to 50!

    In the last 11 minutes or so, Silver Fox sent Liu Yudong and Shan Tao to attack and defend the formation, while Wu Qinglong, Li Xiaoyong, and Sun Jun played on the outside. This lineup had no advantages and was still at a certain disadvantage, but it was not afraid of the fierce Australian team.  The style of play is confrontational and dirty with big moves, Shan Tao's tall and fierce body is not good at squatting under the basket, and he is not timid at hand-to-hand combat.

    In the end, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team defeated the Australian team 78-69 and easily won its first victory in the World Championships!

    Zhang Hao made his debut for the national team and scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in 28 minutes. He once scored 13 points, 2 steals and 2 blocks in nearly 14 minutes, helping the Chinese team defeat the Australian team.

    Wang Zhizhi played 22 minutes and scored 9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. His performance was quite good.

    Wang Zhizhi¡¯s outstanding performance has been witnessed by his national team teammates in last year¡¯s Asian Championships. It is not surprising to his teammates that he will continue to improve and become better this year.

    But Zhang Hao is too strong!

    Even Wang Zhizhi and Luke Longley are far behind Zhang Hao.

    With Zhang Hao¡¯s statistics, apart from the defensive end, Hu Weidong can also play, but the efficiency will not be so high, and the lethality will not be so strong.

    Another point is that Zhang Hao's rough, fierce and wanton defense gave them an unprecedented temperament in the Chinese men's basketball team - wild!

    The Chinese men's basketball team fights very wildly and roughly, but the playing has nothing to do with roughness. But tonight, mainly in those ten minutes, the Chinese men's basketball team's defense was led astray by Zhang Hao. Fouls continued and the confrontation became more and more serious  But Zhang Hao can adapt to that kind of defense and counterattack to score!

    After the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt that 15 days of life had arrived

    ¡°It¡¯s really useful when you¡¯re alone, gold level medal, hard bonus.

    The national team¡¯s outside teammates are very strong and they provide a lot of support. If they were the outside players in the Yao Ming era in the original time and space, I guess they would be just as miserable.

    "The difference in confrontation ability alone is very big. The current perimeter, Hu Ge weighs 95 kg, Sun Jun and Wu Qinglong weigh more than 100 kg, and their basic skills are solid"

    ¡­¡­

    The first two match days of the World Championships are over, and the first matches of the national teams of each country are over.

    Greece, China, the United States, Russia, Lithuania, Yugoslavia, Argentina, and Brazil won, and Angola, Australia, Italy, Spain, and South Korea won.?Victory against the US team 87-81.

    Not only do the U.S. team have no NBA players, but even top college students such as Kobe Bryant, Brand, Odom, Jason Terry, Artest, etc., no one is willing to participate. The best player is Balang from UCL.  -Davis and Duke's Sean Battier are of course very strong, but they completely lack the dominance they had in the past three quarters of the World Series.

    In Group B where the Chinese team is located, the Australian team and the German team lost the first two games of the group stage and were eliminated early. After the Chinese team defeated the German team, it was determined to advance to the quarterfinals and will compete with the Lithuanian team for first place in the group on the 29th.

    On the 28th, the final round of games between Group A and Group C started.

    As for the U.S. team, they will play Yugoslavia in the last game of the group stage. Since the U.S. team is currently 1 win and 1 loss, the Italian team is also 1 win and 1 loss. And the Italian team will play South Korea in the last game. The U.S. team can only win against Yugoslavia.  Enter the quarterfinals.

    Under tremendous pressure, Battier and Baron Davis really broke out, and the two led the team to beat Yugoslavia 92-87.

    Not only that, the U.S. team also relied on a huge score difference of 54 points to defeat South Korea 111 to 57. After the group stage, it relied on a 56-point margin of victory in the group stage to beat Yugoslavia, which had a 41-point margin of victory in the group stage.  Ranked first in Group C.

    The Italian team, which started late in the game, beat South Korea with all their might, killing South Korea with 52 points 92-40. However, they lost to Yugoslavia by 21 points and only won by 6 points against the United States. They also had 2 wins and 1 loss.  record, but could only stop at the group stage.

    After the game on the 28th, in Group A, the Brazilian team ranked first with 3 wins and 0 losses, and the Greek team ranked second with 2 wins and 1 loss; in Group C, the American team ranked first with 2 wins and 1 loss, and Yugoslavia ranked second with 2 wins and 1 loss.

    On the 29th, the final round of the group stage for Group B and Group D started.

    The match between the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team starts at 3:30 in the afternoon.

    The Chinese team really wants to win the first place in the group and create the best record in the group stage in the history of the national team, but unfortunately, the Lithuanian team led by Sabonis is too strong. The Lithuanian team is the seed team in Group B and ranks fourth in the world.  , ranked only after the United States, Russia, and Yugoslavia, the tough style of play of the Eastern European teams caused huge troubles for the Chinese team, but the most important thing is the experience in the international arena. Zhang Hao learned a lesson this time and got a very difficult result.  In the experience, the Chinese men's basketball team unfortunately lost to the Lithuanian team 67-75.

    In the end, in Group B, the Lithuanian team ranked first in the group with 3 wins and 0 losses, and the Chinese team ranked second in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss.

    The Group D match also ended today. The Russian team ranked first with 3 wins and 0 losses, and the Argentina team ranked second with 2 wins and 1 loss.

    After the game on the 29th, the situation of the quarter-finals was released.

    On September 1st, Brazil, the first team in Group A, will start a South American team battle with Argentina, the second team in Group D, Lithuania, the first team in Group B, will start a head-to-head battle with the Greek team, and the United States team, first in Group C, will start a head-to-head battle.  They will play against the Chinese team ranked second in Group B, and the Russian team ranked first in Group D will play against the Yugoslavia team ranked second in Group C in advance.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The opponent in the quarterfinals is the United States team!

    If the Chinese team can play the Greek team, the Chinese team definitely does not want to play the American team, Yugoslavia team, or Italian team.

    But didn¡¯t they lose to Lithuania? They could only play against the No. 1 team in Group C. Fortunately, the American team actually defeated Yugoslavia. Playing against the American team would at least be much better than playing against Yugoslavia This was Zhang Hao¡¯s idea.

    In the minds of most players of the Chinese team, the American team is a prehistoric beast!

    After the group stage, we were given two days to prepare. On the afternoon of August 30, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team began training.

    Feeling the pressure from his teammates, Zhang Hao asked after a training session: "Why don't you seem very happy? The knockout rounds are about to come, so get excited."

    After Zhang Hao finished speaking, Wang Zhizhi took out a pen and paper from nowhere, wrote the words "I'm very happy" and placed it next to Zhang Hao's head.

    Hu Weidong responded: "Haozi, don't underestimate the US team. Although they did not send NBA players, their college students are also very good!"

    "Very good? American college students are quite good," Zhang Hao pointed to Wang Zhizhi next to him: "This is the Associated Press All-American forward in the 1997-1998 season, fifth in the Wooden Award vote, and the ACCC Player of the Year."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 421 421. You¡¯d better send out Kobe!  (5000 words, please vote for me)

    When the Chinese team met the U.S. team, it felt so painful, and the U.S. team had the same pain.

    ¡°But the American team is sandwiched between Group B and Group D. If they are second in the group, they will play Russiaor they have a higher hope of playing the Chinese team.

    Because Zhang Hao joined and the group stage was over, the Spanish National News re-ranked the countries for this World Championship.

    Russia ranks first, Yugoslavia ranks second, Lithuania ranks third, the United States ranks fourth, and China ranks fifth.

    In the eyes of Europeans, Zhang Hao, like Sabonis of the Lithuanian team, is completely one level above other players.

    Regarding Zhang Hao¡¯s evaluation, the participating countries had no objections, especially the US team, which had a headache when encountering Zhang Hao.

    They just watched Zhang Hao play in the finals not long ago, with 50+ points in G1 in a single game.

    Wang Zhizhi is also very famous in the NCAA in the past two years. In the 1997-98 season, Olowokandi was the only center position. This was too strong. Next, there were Reeve LaFrentz and Wang Zhizhi, because in George  City University also has a 220-centimeter meat shield who plays center. Wang Zhizhi needs to play forward most of the time. In his junior season, he was eventually selected to the All-American team and was elected the ACCC Player of the Year.

    The twin towers formed by these two people, Baron Davis and Shane Battier want to choose a dog leash.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If only one of the insiders such as Shawn Marion, Lamar Odom, Elton Brand, Kenyon Martin, Stromire Swift and others is willing to come, the gap between the inside lines will not be so big.

    But the last five insiders who came were Kenny Thomas, Chris Mihm, Calvin Booth, Jeff Foster, and Etan Thomas.

    These are also NCAA first-line centers, the inside core of each strong team, but compared with Brand, Odom, Marion, Kenyon Martin and others, they are far behind. There is a big difference between the first line and the top.

    These guys are going to participate in the NBA draft, most likely in the second round, and those guys are at least lottery level.

    As the captain of the university team and the captain of the current US men's basketball team, Battier really wants to return to China overnight to kidnap Kobe and Brand

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°Calvin, I really didn¡¯t expect you to make the U.S. national team.¡±

    "I didn't expect it eitherwait, Aix, what do you mean?"

    "It's just what you think."

    "Akers, I want to fight, but what should I do if I can't beat you? Can you let me use my hands and feet?"

    "By the way, when are you going to enter the NBA? Chucky entered the NBA last year, so your prospects as an insider should be much better than Chucky."

    "Akers, you change the subject so abruptly! I also want to participate in the draft this year, but Chucky was drafted into the NBA last year and couldn't play. I plan to practice my skills in my senior year and try to gain a foothold in the NBA  ¡­¡±

    Soon, September 1st arrived, and the Chinese team ushered in the game against the American team.

    Zhang Hao has no acquaintance with this American team, only Calvin Booth.

    The three brothers of the Booth family are very interesting. One is 211 centimeters tall, one is 198 centimeters tall, and the other is 175 centimeters tall. Tim Booth, who is 175 centimeters tall, failed to participate in the draft this year. The eldest brother Chucky Booth was selected by the Bulls last year.  Played in 6 games and sat on the bench the rest of the time.

    Currently, 22-year-old Calvin Booth is the most talented one, but he is also the most stable. He is planning to wait until he graduates from college before participating in the draft.

    After chatting with Calvin Booth for a while, Zhang Hao returned to his bench.

    The head coach of the US team is Rudy Tomjanovich, who is chatting with Silver Fox. The two have known each other for many years. When Silver Fox coached the Rockets, Rudy Tomjanovich played under Silver Fox.  .

    Zhang Hao thinks Tomjanovich's talent selection vision is quite good. The five major insiders on the opposite side are Kenny Thomas, Chris Mihm, Calvin Booth, Jeff Foster, and Etan Thomas.  People, Zhang Hao really has an impression, and he will play in the NBA for a long time in the future.

    Kenny Thomas, a 201cm short power forward, is a junior at New Mexico State University and a second-team All-American forward in the 1997-98 season. He averaged 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game.

    Calvin Booth, a 211cm big center, 120kg, a junior at Penn State University, the Big Ten Conference's all-time block leader, and the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in the 1997-98 season.

    Chris Mihm, 213cm, 118kg, a sophomore at the University of Texas, is known as the hope of the white center He is the only American team insider currently evaluated by the American media as having hope in the NBA draft.  Players who enter the lottery.

    Etan Thomas, 206 centimeters tall, is a sophomore at Syracuse University and a short defensive center.

    Jeff Foster, 211 centimeters tall, junior at Texas Southwestern State University, very activeThe gap widened, and the American team tried their best to counterattack just like they did in the second quarter.

    However, unlike when he was almost overtaken in the second quarter, this time, Zhang Hao single-handedly scored 5 goals in 6 rounds and even passed an alley-oop to Hu Weidong.

    The Chinese team scored 13 points in the first 4 minutes of the third quarter, defeating the U.S. team that was trying to counterattack 13-10, 59-48. After the U.S. team launched a counterattack, the Chinese team expanded its lead to 11 points.  !

    With this point difference, given the strength of the US team, it is not impossible to catch up, but in terms of mentality, how can the young people of the US team, who usually watch Zhang Hao play, be able to withstand it?

    19 points in the first half and 11 points in 4 minutes in the third quarter. Zhang Hao has 30 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks!

    In this situation, how can the players of the US team still have their fighting spirit?  What changed was that the U.S. team began to blindly shoot from outside the three-point line, or sullenly drive to the basket. Tomjanovich yelled on the sidelines for a long time, and the players on the court couldn't make any tactics and stood still.  After setting the play, watch the teammate holding the ball burst or shoot against the defense.

    In the remaining quarter and a half of the game, Silver Fox chose a steady and steady strategy and no longer attacked so aggressively. In the remaining time, Zhang Hao scored 12 points and the Chinese team scored 23 points.

    In the end, with Zhang Hao¡¯s 42 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks in a single game, the Chinese team defeated the United States 82-69 and reached the semi-finals of the World Championships for the first time in team history!

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao¡¯s system prompt came.

    "Special contracted player Zhang Hao and contracted player Wang Zhizhi jointly led the Chinese men's basketball team to break the best record in the World Championships in team history. Congratulations to the host for receiving the lifespan reward: a total of 45 days"

    There are also additional rewards, which is gratifying!  Although there are not many rewards for just reaching the top 4, it is certainly gratifying to gain 30 days more life than a regular win.

    After Zhang Hao started playing against the American team, he felt that losing to the Lithuanian team in the group stage might be a better choice. It might not be as easy to beat the Greek team's melee team as the American team.

    If it were any of the other 6 opponents in the top 8, he might not be able to fight so easily. His deterrent effect on other countries is definitely not as great as the deterrent effect against this group of American college students.

    In one round, he grabbed a rebound and Battier tried to steal it. As soon as he raised his elbow, the opponent turned around and walked away Then he was warned by the referee.

    But everyone has different feelings. When the final whistle sounded, the senior players of the national team rushed into the court like crazy and gathered around Zhang Hao to celebrate.

    They defeated Team USA!  Even if it is an American team without NBA stars, it is still an American team!

 Chapter 422 422. With great ability comes great responsibility (4000 words, please vote for me)

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    When the news came back to China, it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the Chinese people, and the news broadcast took more than 2 minutes to report it.

    "Thanks to the motherland for the cultivation, thanks to the leaders for coming to the scene to command, and thanks to the people for their support, we can compete with the American team"

    During the more than two minutes of news broadcast, half of the shots were given to Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao returned to the national team and immediately led the team to the semi-finals of the World Championships. This shocked the Chinese people more than Zhang Hao winning the NBA championship.

    The influence is no longer limited to basketball fans or sports fans!

    Helping the country gain honor in civilized wars, especially defeating the country it wants to defeat the most It is a pity for the Chinese people that the island country next door did not enter the World Championships, and they did not meet it in the Asian Youth Championship.

    After the quarter-finals, Yugoslavia, Argentina, Lithuania, and China finally entered the semi-finals.

    After the quarter-finals, the countries that entered the semi-finals will rest for two days, and the ranking matches for 5th to 8th places will begin. Before that, the ranking matches for 9th to 16th places have been completed.

    It can be said that the Russian team was unlucky. As the second seed to win the championship, they actually met Yugoslavia in the quarterfinals and lost 72-79. In the end, they only finished fifth. The American team lost again in the ranking match.  The Russian team, who got angry just looking at them, ended up in sixth place.

    The Brazilian team had 3 wins and 0 losses in the group stage, and only finished seventh in the final, with the host Greece team eighth.

    On September 4th, the two semi-finals began one after another.

    What was supposed to come came anyway, the Chinese team met Yugoslavia.

    The gap in strength is obvious. There are gaps in many aspects. It is not an opponent that can be defeated by one person.

    When Zhang Hao is stronger, the team has better understanding, and there are better helpers besides Wang Zhizhi in the inside As strong as Liu Yudong, when he played against Yugoslavia, he failed to bring much help to Zhang Hao. He might as well follow Zhang Hao  The running Xiaoyao King is very useful.

    ? 77 to 94, the Chinese team stopped in the quarterfinals.

    ? 34 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. Zhang Hao's statistics are good, but his performance of 11 out of 27 shots is not good.

    The gap in strength is so big that even if Zhang Hao wants to cheat, he doesn't know which direction to turn. He is lagging behind in almost all aspects. Even with soaring points, Yugoslavia also has Peja with 31 points in a single game. Peja's 6-of-7 three-pointers beat China.  The team made a lot of shots.

    Zhang Hao and his teammates regretted not being able to reach the finals in one fell swoop, but being able to reach the semi-finals together for the first time has made the domestic players very excited, and they have set their sights on two years later!

    At that time, these 27-29-year-old players are still in their prime. Li Nan, Zhang Hao, Wang Zhizhi will take a further step, and there will also be the high school student with explosive talent in the Asian Championships

    And now there is still Bentou!

    After the match between China and Yugoslavia, the semifinals between Lithuania and Argentina began.

    ? 65 to 51, Lithuania defeated Argentina and reached the final!

    On September 6, two strong Eastern European teams, Yugoslavia and Lithuania, will compete in the finals for the championship.

    Tomorrow, the Chinese team will play the bronze medal match with the Lithuanian team.

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s a pity to stop at the semi-finals, but the game is not over yet.

    After the Lithuanian team and the Argentine team decided the winner, the Chinese team knew who their opponent was in the bronze medal match and immediately returned to the hotel to prepare.

    The 18-year-old Luis Scola who is playing for the La Liga Tau Ceramics team, the 21-year-old Manu Ginobili who just dominated the Argentine League, and the 21-year-old core point guard Pablo Prigio of the La Liga Tau Ceramics team.  Ni, the 16-year-old genius Carlos Delfino of the Argentine League Boca Juniors Club, the 23-year-old Argentine League mvp Fabricio Oberto

    Argentina¡¯s golden generation has begun to show its prowess!

    If there is any flaw in the current Argentina team, it is only that it is too young.

    At 3:30 in the afternoon on September 5, the Chinese team, with the drive to win the first World Series medal in team history no matter what, started a bronze medal matchup with Argentina at the Athens Olympic Stadium.

    When playing against the Argentina team, Zhang Hao stepped onto the court to observe up close, his first reaction was so young!

    In the future, Scola, who has a gray beard and leads the team to beat the United States to win the World Championships, is now young and young, and in the future, the bald man with all his hair cut out, now has a head of black and thick hair

    The game was very difficult. The Chinese team had the advantage of stars, but their coordination and zone defense were not as good as the Argentina team.

    The Argentine team did not do as well as the Chinese team in terms of singles and counterattacks.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?;¡­

    Finally, on September 20th, the national team affairs were finished, and Zhang Hao was free.

    Silver Fox has to continue to be busy. Since returning to China, Silver Fox has started discussing the Asian Games roster with the Blues Association. Now the training team roster has been selected. In the next two weeks, 12 national team members will be selected to officially  players.

    As for the NBA, on September 12, another negotiation between the NBA and the players union continued to break down.

    Jordan replaced Ewing, who was beginning to show weakness, and became the leader of the players union, spitting and scolding the bosses

    The players union announced that it will continue to strike for 8 weeks.

    The NBA announced that all training camps and preseason games have been cancelled.

    Since then, Silver Fox has continued to take Wang Zhizhi to the Asian Games. Although Yao Ming has good talent, with more Wang Zhizhi, it will be safer to win the championship.

    Based on Wang Zhizhi¡¯s strength and Yao Ming¡¯s talent, the Silver Fox rejected Hu Weidong and Gong Xiaobin¡¯s request to continue competing in the Asian Games, considering their physical condition.

    Regarding this matter, Yinhu and Zhang Hao talked about whether they should discuss with the Blue Association and let Hu Weidong and Gong Xiaobin go to better hospitals in Europe and the United States for a good check-up. Zhang Hao did not let Yinhu take care of this matter.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "We're flying back to Los Angeles on the 29th. Where do you want to go? The Forbidden City? The Summer Palace? Or somewhere else?"

    "We have been through all this. You have been busy for almost two months, so take a good rest."

    "When did you go?"

    "Mom took us there."

    "Oh I also said that you have come to China and I will take you to have fun, but I don't have time when you are in China, and I don't have time to go to Athens"

    Zhang Hao held April Clark¡¯s hand, feeling very guilty.

    Britney and Little Loli next to me feel like they don¡¯t need to eat dinner today, they are full!

    Originally, it was the little Loli who followed her father to Athens and China. Zhang Hao is the number one spokesperson for Starbucks China, so he must take advantage of this wave of popularity.

    But Britney went to apply for a visa by herself, pestered the little girl, and went to Athens and China together.

    Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal if multiple people have multiple pairs of chopsticks.

    With two more people speaking English, April Clark would not be so lonely.

    After being bored for a while, Zhang Hao received the call, said sorry, went out, and came to a restaurant.

    Dad Zhang Weidong and distant cousin Zhang Weiping have already arrived.

    After a while of greetings, Zhang Hao said directly: "Uncle, I have a plan. Do you think we can find a group of domestic young talents aged fifteen or sixteen and send them to the famous high school basketball schools in the United States to study in the NCAA? If  No, you can also feel a stronger basketball atmosphere, get more comprehensive basketball guidance, and it may be better to return to your country to play. You don¡¯t have to worry about money, x brand will sponsor it.¡±

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? At the age of 21, he is already thinking about the future of the national team!

    Zhang Weiping appreciated Zhang Hao's idea. After thinking about it, he felt that this matter was not that simple. He responded: "Your idea is very good, but not all players are suitable to play academic basketball. Some players may be more suitable to play basketball in the academy from the beginning."  Youth team play.¡±

    Seeing Zhang Hao nodding, Zhang Weiping continued: "Besides this, there is another problem. There is you, there is Da Liu, there is Xiao Wang and Xiao Yao In the next ten years at least, our national team will have enough talent inside, and the focus will be on the outside.  Although I don¡¯t want to admit it, from my observation, all A-A teams and all youth teams have begun to experience a lack of support. Our base of basketball players is still too small. It depends on you to drive the domestic basketball atmosphere."

    "rely on me?"

    "Of course it depends on you. You led the men's basketball team to third place in the World Championships. The Ministry of Education has made a decision to teach basketball in all physical education classes in junior high schools and high schools."

    "Our country's junior high schools and high schools still have physical education classes Ahem, uncle, you continue."

    "My generation is already old and I can't help you on the court, but I still have some face to sell in publicity activities and smoothing relations with higher authorities. I hope to see that in your era, you can make  The men¡¯s basketball team has become a world-class team, moving closer to table tennis and badminton.¡±

    "Isn't this too difficult?"

    "It is difficult, but this is your responsibility!"

    "This is what is called, with great ability comes great responsibility?"

    "What you said is quite right. When I get back, I will let the station publicize what you just said."

    "Well¡­¡­"

 Chapter 423 423. I have always had a question (5000 words, please vote for me)

    In the next few days, Zhang Hao took a good rest.

    I went shopping with San Niu and sent a lot of things to Los Angeles. I don¡¯t know if I will receive them in the year of the monkey. Anyway, the speed of sending abroad is quite fast, but how long does it take for express delivery in Los Angeles to transport the things from the airport to the warehouse?  , from the warehouse to his home, it¡¯s hard to say.

    It¡¯s not just for fun. When I have free time, I will plan the next training. The focus is on the time planning of the 9x9x9 ultimate devil training hell. When entering the learning mode, it is also a simulation training of the first stage of pressure defense training.  Mainly, the three-dimensional image viewing object is the image of Michael Jordan

    I originally planned to get together with Yao Ming after returning to China, but Yao Ming didn¡¯t have time. After playing in the Asian Youth Championship, he started preparing for the Asian Games. This is actually quite rare. Generally speaking, the national team selects talents from the youth team, so  In the World Youth Championship or the Universiade, for example, Wang Zhizhi was selected for the national team after winning the title of the best center in the World Youth Championship in the 1995 World Youth Championship. It is quite rare for someone like Yao Ming to rush to the national team from the Asian Youth Championship.

    But Zhang Hao heard about something. Yao Ming, a guy with thick eyebrows and a square face, hooked up with the center Ye Li of the Asian Youth Women's Basketball Team at the training base of the Asian Youth Championship. Ye Li led the Chinese women's basketball team to 81 in the Asian Youth Championship finals.  Defeated the Taipei Women's Basketball Team 40-plus and was elected the best player of the Women's Asian Youth Championship. She complemented Yao Ming, the best player of the Men's Asian Youth Championship. The two were photographed together on the streets of Qingdao while eating rice noodles.

    So, Zhang Hao saw the adjective that made him complain for a while - golden boy and beautiful girl.

    A pair of 220 cm + 190 cm teenagers who are in early love But with Ye Li's 190 cm height, she can enjoy the cutest height difference with her boyfriend, and the man is the tallest. When Zhang Hao saw the photo, he thought it was really interesting.

    Leisure time always passes quickly. On October 2nd, after the National Day, Zhang Hao, April Clark, Britney, and Little Loli set off for Los Angeles.

    At the airport terminal, Zhang Hao's mother took April Clark and talked for a long time. One side's English was average, the other side's Chinese was average. Both sides could barely communicate on a basic basis, but they couldn't understand anything complex.  .

    When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Zhang Hao¡¯s parents returned to the United States, and it was the due date.

    Zhang Hao was chatting with his father about business matters.

    "Haozi, it's more troublesome to buy an A-level team. Most of the current teams are military-industrial corps teams or the property of the provincial sports association. However, they are being downsized. The military-industrial corps teams are being abolished and will be taken over by the provincial sports association.  I heard that the state-to-private transfer will be more open in the next two to three years, and it may be possible in a few years.¡±

    "Okay, I'm not in a hurry, I just want to have my own team. Dad, do you think I can change the name of the team if I buy it?"

    "It should be possible, are you ready to let our sports brand name it?"

    "No, I have a name I want to use, but I'm worried that Lan Xie won't agree."

    "what name?"

    "Ritian Gang."

    ¡°¡­????¡±

    Looking at Zhang Hao, who had taken several steps away and used his iron-blooded tactics, Zhang Weidong would have wanted to pull out his belt and chase this brat if it weren't for the public.

    "I named you Hao because I hope you will have a future as broad and boundless as the sky!"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    As an agent, Henry Thomas is professional. Agents actually have to deal with a lot of things, but Zhang Hao doesn't need them in most cases.

    But it was used this time. Zhang Hao left Los Angeles for three months. When he returned home, the house was still clean and the yard was well taken care of. The Lakers¡¯ Time Warner training facility was no longer open to players, and Henry Thomas was also  A private arena has been rented, and nutritionists, physical therapists, trainersall are waiting in place.

    Have you hired a nanny who is bilingual in Chinese and English? April Clark needs a nanny, and she also needs a nanny who can speak Chinese. She should chat with her in Chinese and help her practice her spoken Chinese.

    This request is very rare and troublesome, but money can make a fool of himself, and Henry Thomas really got it done.

    Not to mention, as Zhang Hao¡¯s agent, Henry Thomas was too worry-free when handling Zhang Hao¡¯s business. He was so worry-free that he felt sorry for taking a commission from his salary and endorsement fees, and he really hoped that Zhang Hao would give him more.  Find some trouble.

    Look at Pierce, just a few months after signing the contract, he was stopped by the police for rocking in the car on the way to a hotel with three college students He needs to go to emergency public relations to reduce the negative impact.

    This is what an NBA star should look like!

    ¡­¡­

    On October 6th, some miscellaneous matters for returning to Inglewood were taken care of.?Power.

    Ever since, Jordan announced his retirement after the labor negotiations in mid-July, which stabilized the internal unity of the player representatives.

    The labor negotiations continued to break down this time. Originally, many players were dissatisfied and opposed the decision of 11 player representatives including Jordan, Payton, Ewing, David Robinson, Kidd, and Fisher to continue the strike.  It is hoped that labor negotiations can be concluded before 1999.

    But after the media exposed the reasons for Jordan's retirement, more players were ready and prepared to fight to the death. They have survived until this point. By February next year, they will be able to apply for federal arbitration. If you panic at that time, you should  It's the bosses.

    The NBA is also considered a company in an industry. If a strike can be sustained, the labor force will eventually fight for power. The question is whether it can be sustained.

    The players have endured until this point. If they continue to persist, it will be the bosses who cannot endure. On February 1st, the players union can apply for arbitration and request the court to implement the bankruptcy and reorganization clauses of the American professional sports leagues  With the NBA's current revenue growth rate and increasing influence, as long as the court implements the terms of bankruptcy and reorganization, more capital will be involved. At that time, it will be difficult for the bosses to control the situation.

    Jordan's retirement can stabilize the unity of the players union. There is one key point - currently, most players still earn low salaries between US$270,000 and US$800,000. Once they accept the demands of the bosses,  Income distribution ratio, then in the future, only the superstars will have high salaries, and the bottom players will have almost no possibility of salary increases.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Jordan has such a high status in the minds of the players, not just because he is good at playing!"

    Without experiencing the lockout personally, Zhang Hao really doesn¡¯t know how difficult the 1998 labor negotiations were for the players.

    In the past, Zhang Hao only admired Jordan's honor on the court and expressed respect for Jordan's achievements in bringing basketball to the world.

    But this time, it¡¯s very different. From this point alone, Jordan should indeed be the idol of all basketball players and the first league leader in NBA history.

    Even if Zhang Hao knows that Jordan will become the boss in the future

    But that doesn¡¯t stop him from becoming a leader in the minds of the players because of his outstanding contributions and huge sacrifices in this labor negotiation.

    On November 1st, after finishing their national team campaign, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming came to Los Angeles, and the game was still suspended. Wang Zhizhi was not in a hurry to go to Sacramento.

    When Yao Ming returned to Inglewood, he naturally went to the school to report first. He came to Zhang Hao¡¯s house that night. When he saw Zhang Hao, he asked directly: "Brother Hao, have you become my coach?"

    ¡°We found a potential signee¡ªYao Ming, a senior on the Inglewood High School basketball team. Have you completed the signing?¡±

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

    "Available contract partner: Yao Ming. After completing the contract, the host must fulfill its due guidance obligations and plan its growth direction Do you want to sign the contract?"

    It¡¯s different from looking for bugs in the beginning, and it¡¯s different from when I signed Wang Zhizhi. In those two times, there was no obligation, but now there is.

    And the timing of the signing was not under his control. Before the offseason, he often stayed with Yao Ming, but the signing option was not triggered at that time.

    Depends on loyalty?  Admiration?  Trust?  Or should I change something or something else?

    "The most direct way is to have your own team and be the coach yourself. That way you should get the same team rewards as during the World Championships. I don't know what it is like to be a coach"

    "A contract must be signed," Zhang Hao thought, and the system prompt came.

    ¡°The signing with Yao Ming has been completed.

    ??Signed player: Yao Ming.

    Age: 18 years old (September 12, 1980).

    Height: 220 cm, wingspan: 217 cm, weight: 122 kg.

    Team: Inglewood High School Basketball Team.

    Ownership rights: Whenever Yao Ming helps the Inglewood High School team win the Los Angeles Division, the Northern California League and the California High School Basketball Championship as a main player, the host will receive a 1-day lifespan reward.

    Obligations: In the last year before Yao Ming enters college or a professional league, the host needs to help Yao Ming plan his growth direction. After the host and Yao Ming reach an agreement, they will start the next guidance goal.  "

    "Yao Ming's growth direction there are two, one is a heavy center that uses his huge tonnage and feel, and the other is a skill-based and flexible center that uses his size Let's ask his opinion on this kind of thing!"

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao joined his alma mater Inglewood High School as an assistant coach during the lockout. This has become a hot topic among fans during this period when the grass is already several feet high.

    Inglewood High School is a famous private high school. After Scott Collins joined the Inglewood High School team in 1989, it quickly became a famous local basketball school in Los Angeles. It was originally the number one high school in California. The basketball of Southern California High School  A lot of students have been taken away by Inglewood High School.

    Especially when players like Zhang Hao emerged in the 1995 class, many talents who graduated from junior high school were attracted to join.

    Now Zhang Hao has become an assistant coach at Inglewood High School. Although it is only temporary, with this operation, Inglewood High School also has a sense of familiarity with a traditional wealthy school like Southern California High School.

    This at least means one thing - basketball geniuses join Inglewood High School and have the opportunity to be mentored by Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao said in an interview: "My goal from the beginning was to study a sports-related college major and become a head coach, but things didn't work out. I unexpectedly entered the NBA directly after graduating from high school, but I became an outstanding coach.  Coaching is my future goal.¡±

    This interview once again aroused heated discussion. Zhang Hao led the Chinese team to defeat the American team before, which had already set off a wave of public opinion in the United States. It was the first time that an Asian team defeated the American team in the World Series. This time it triggered a stir in the media.  Lively discussions with fans.

    David Stern saw that Zhang Hao could become the focus by doing other things during the lockout I feel really lucky!

    As for Zhang Hao, he actually just moved the training venue from a rented private arena to the arena at Inglewood High School, with the guidance of Scott Collins.

    A great high school coach is actually good at cultivating young players. His coaching ability and tactical ability are secondary.

    Scott Collins has long forgotten how he coached Jordan in training more than ten years ago. He only coached Pippen for a year, and even more completely forgot about it. However, he helps players conduct intensive training based on their needs and characteristics.  , these basic congratulations, more than ten years have passed, and Scott Collins has become even better.

    Grant Hill¡¯s defensive progress has been so rapid in the past two years, which is inseparable from the training of the Collins brothers.

    For the Inglewood High School basketball team, Zhang Hao's role is to let the students see how hard he trains. The training requirement for the Inglewood High School basketball team is to practice three times a week. Of course, students like those who want to enter the NCAA  , with the goal of becoming a professional player, it would be good to have one day off a week.

    For example, Jason Hart, who joined Inglewood High School in 1995, has accepted an invitation from Syracuse University. As long as his academic performance in his senior year of high school meets the requirements, he can go to Syracuse University after graduation. However, although he has already  After receiving a scholarship from the NCAA Division I school team, Jason Hart did not relax in training.

    ?? 20-year-old high school student, Zhang Hao basically cannot see 20-year-old high school student in China."The moment I missed a dunk"

    Listening to Zhang Hao's words, Yao Ming felt that his view of basketball was being torn to pieces and reorganizedbut he felt it made sense!

    Ever since he discovered that he couldn't control his height and started practicing basketball with his father, Yao Ming has learned all about techniques. Whether it was his father or the senior provincial team members from the Shanghai Sports Bureau who later taught him techniques, he would later go on to compete with them.  Teams from various universities and military-industrial corps only played one game a week. No matter when or where, no one had ever talked to him about these topics.

    Yao Ming's current feeling is very special. It is different from the feeling of his parents who expect their son to become a great success. It is also different from the feeling of those in the national team who only expect him to make contributions. It is also different from the feeling of those who only expect him to make contributions. It is also different from the feeling that he is counting on him to lead the team to a good record and complete the work targets.  The school team coach also gave me a different feeling

    Yao Ming clearly felt that Zhang Hao simply discovered his problem in this area, just for his own good, and just wanted to help him.

    And it makes sense. Yao Ming nodded: "I understand."

    "It's useless to know, you have to make changes Well, you still have 5 league games and 1 cup game to play before Christmas, right? In these 6 games, if you can complete at least 24 dunks,  Then I¡¯ll teach you my back-turning jump shot.¡±

    "Really? That's great! I know, I promise to complete the task!"

    ¡­¡­

    In the next few days, Zhang Hao temporarily suspended the next stage of "pressure defense" training. It was not that he stopped practicing defense. Instead, he continued to practice basic skills and consolidate them. However, the purpose of the training was not to meet the system requirements in one hour.  Emotionally, I gradually adjusted. During this period of time, the training was concentrated in the morning, focusing on shooting, emergency stop jump shots, turning and retreating and other techniques.

    In terms of labor negotiations, after entering December, sure enough, the bosses began to become uneasy. Originally, the bosses wanted to threaten the players by canceling the new season, but according to media reports, the players union has begun to contact the lawyers who previously helped the NFL with the suspension arbitration.  The firm has begun to collect evidence and start filing for bankruptcy, reorganization and arbitration!

    The original agreement was to start the next labor negotiation on December 26. On December 10, the bosses took the initiative to contact the players union and applied for early negotiations before December 20.

    The players' union accepted the bosses' request for negotiation because the bosses had previously refused to let go of a key point in the negotiations. The bosses made a compromise - giving up the introduction of a hard salary cap!

    On December 15, 1998, the negotiations between the NBA and the players union finally made their first substantial progress.

    Since July 15th, five months have passed, and on December 17th, NBA official representatives and players union representatives finally appeared at the same press conference again.

    Representatives from both sides stated that they will discuss a preliminary plan within two weeks and resume NBA operations in an orderly manner within four weeks.

    As soon as this news came out, the happiest people were the fans. They did nothing wrong. They spent money to watch live broadcasts, buy tickets, and buy peripherals They are consumers, but the NBA has been suspended for such a long time, and there are even some  The season may be cancelled, the NBA may be bankrupt and reorganized There may be some fans who hope to see the players gain more benefits in negotiations, and hope to see the scene of "the working people defeating evil capital."

    But NBA players are not living a hard life now. It is no longer the era 20 years ago when playing in the NBA was equivalent to being a white-collar worker and the salary was similar.

    The players were naturally overjoyed. After persisting for so long, they finally saw the progress they wanted to see.

    ¡­¡­

    There is good news in the labor negotiations. The good news that Zhang Hao has been waiting for for a long time has also come. He spent 29 million US dollars

    However, he not only hinted with his eyes, but also dragged the two people who spent money together to the toilet to chat for a while, but the two still missed the opportunity.

    Google's two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, started the first round of financing. According to the angel investment agreement, they announced that the value of the highest proportion of original shares that someone can buy now is about 1,800.  Ten thousand US dollars, but O'Neal only invested 5 million, and Kenny Anderson only invested 2 million. Larry Page and Sergey Brin agreed to buy the portion that the two vacated.

    Pelinka went to discuss the investment details with the two founders of Google. The money was obtained, and the two were very excited as they prepared to continue to expand the scale of their business.

    Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was speechless to Big Fatty and Boss Kenny, who both only gave him a check of 2 million U.S. dollars.

    "Mr. O'Neal, are you not short of money? Boss Kenny, you just signed a big contract. Now if you don't have enough money, I can lend you a loan! The first round of financing is not comparable to the subsequent financing!"

    "Akers, you invested so heavily, what if they fail? I even regret investing 5 million."

    "That's right, Aix, you are so uncool! I didn't even have time to stop you. Fortunately, I only invested 2 million, so I won't be as heartbroken as you if I lose."

    ""

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know how to continue talking to the two about this, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, their angel investment rights were not wasted, so he bought it.

    Labor negotiations have finally made progress. Kenny Anderson is preparing to move to Boston. O'Neal also needs to start physical training to control his weight and adapt to the new weight in playing.

    After sending the two people away, Zhang Hao felt heartbroken - "Hey, I made an extra amount of money inexplicably. I don't know how to explain it to them. In this case, I can only accept this future money."  ¡±

    ¡­¡­

    There is a fairly clear time for when the new season will start, and the current players are starting to do their own things.

    With players like O'Neal, Kenny Anderson and Vin Baker on long-term contracts, there is no pressure at all.

    But there are also cases where the new season is a contract year and the contract renewal was not completed in advance last season due to the progress of labor negotiations, so the pressure next season will be great.

    The ones who are under the greatest pressure are the players who did not get their contracts renewed last season, not even in the same year. They originally had several months to find a job during the offseason, but according to the latest negotiation progress exposed by the media, it is estimated that January 10  A formal 7+6 labor agreement was signed between January 20th. The earliest start of the regular season is February 1st, that is, after the lockout ends, there are only 20 days at most to find a job before the start of the season.

    Players will be anxious to find a job, and teams that are short of players may also be hasty in signing contracts. For players looking for jobs, it is really a race against time.

    Time passes day by day, and on December 23, Inglewood High School ended its 15 games before the Christmas break. Since the beginning of the season, Inglewood High School has won all 15 games!

    In two cup games, Yao Ming averaged 18.5 points, 22 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2.5 assists per game. In 13 league games, he averaged 28.3 points, 16.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 4.7 blocks per game.

    In the past 6 games, Yao Ming has completed a total of 35 dunks, which is more than twice the total number of dunks in more than 30 games last season!

    After this round of competition, Yao Ming's evaluation in California high school circles has changed dramatically.

    In the past, his "softness" had a relatively large impact on his market price, although he is now 220 cm 1That is, in theory, there is no salary limit. As long as the team that selects him is willing and the team has space, he can directly sign a maximum salary like a non-Bird rights free agent But if that  If you like him, just pick him in the first round.

    On January 8, the maximum salary terms were negotiated. Players with less than 7 years of playing experience can sign an extension contract with a starting salary of up to 30% of the salary cap. Veterans with 7 to 10 years of experience can sign a contract extension with a starting salary of up to 35% of the salary cap.  Starting salary renewal contract, for 11 years and as a veteran, there is theoretically no salary cap. The maximum salary terms are affected by bird rights. To renew the contract above the cap, bird rights are required.

    At the same time, the contract period is stipulated. The maximum contract period is 7 years. Players who sign a 7-year contract will not have player options or team options.

    With these fundamental negotiations related to players' income reaching an agreement, now there is only one thing that can really hinder the resumption of operations. Others are not so important. It can be done gradually after the season resumes operations. This thing is  ¡ª¡ªProportional distribution of income.

    When this matter was first mentioned, the two parties quarreled. Now, the two parties started to discuss it normally.

    However, this matter is too important. For example, if there is an agreement between the players and the owners to split the accounts 50-50, for example, the entire NBA revenue in the 1999-00 season is about 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, then if the total player salary is more than 1.25 billion U.S. dollars, then it will be  Proportionately, give each player a portion of their salary less. If it is less than $1.25 billion, the owners will have to pay each player a proportionately more salary.

    This matter is more complicated. Lawyers and accountants from the players union and NBA lawyers and accountants started professional negotiations, and Jordan and the Bulls owner started a professional quarrel.

    Time passed day by day, and it took a week. Finally, on January 15th, an agreement was reached and it was finally determined that for at least the next seven years, player income will account for 53% to 58% of the NBA's total income.  Interval, within this interval, there is no situation of giving more or less money. There is a buffer zone, and the execution is not that complicated.

    Starting from the 1998-99 season, players¡¯ salaries will no longer be paid in full, and 10% of their income will be handed over to a trust company officially guaranteed by the league.

    After the framework agreement was signed, the league and the players union held a press conference at 9 pm on January 15th, officially announcing that the strike would end at 12 noon on January 17, 1999, and the NBA would resume operations!

    There are still many details left, and the players don¡¯t need to work hard. Regarding income, contracts, and rights, these have been taken care of.

    However, the NBA's resumption of operations was "stealed" by some rules passed by the league between January 9th and January 15th.

    While the lawyers and accountants were discussing the share ratio, the bosses had nothing to do and proposed to the league to modify some rules. After review, the league and the rules committee agreed to the application, started the voting process, and passed several rule changes.

    So, on January 16, when teams were quickly starting to resume operations, the league announced several rule changes. After these changes were announced, they sparked heated discussions.

    Several clauses that really have a substantial impact, the media, experts, fans, and players saw one word between the lines - beat-xo!

    There are two newly adopted rules that attract the most attention.

    One is to cancel the illegal rule of early double-teaming. According to the previous rules, for players without the ball, they can only defend one against one at most. The offensive player must receive the ball before double-teaming can be carried out.

    The other is to reintroduce the defensive three-second violation - if the defensive player is in the three-second zone for three consecutive seconds, there is no opponent within arm's distance of the defensive player, and he does not leave the three-second zone before the three seconds are up.  A three-second defensive violation will be called, and the offensive team will receive one free throw and will continue to have the ball.

    Others, such as the 5-second penalty rule for serving, the 24-second callback rule, the ball hitting the backboard and bouncing twice means it goes out of bounds and other rule changes, no one cares.

    These two rule changes will bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire NBA defense. It is obvious that they are directed at the Remy Martin combination!

    ¡°åø!¡±

    I received a notice from the Lakers last night that I can report at noon the day after tomorrow. Starting from the afternoon of the 17th, the training facility will be open to players.

    Zhang Hao is excited. There is another game to play. Although he currently has 1691 lives left, only by playing games can he save more lives.

    But today I learned that the league announced two new rules that will have a great impact on his playing style!

    Cancel the rule that does not allow early flanking, that is to say, from now on, he will ask his opponents to directly flank him to prevent him from catching the ball!

    The "elevator door" tactic used in last year's finals can be regarded as a mobile pick-and-roll once this rule is introduced.

    ???????????????????????? This is not a big impact, his size and athletic ability can handle it, and the tactics are just clever and will not last long.

    The most important thing is to introduce defensive three seconds

    Last season, who was the player who most liked to squat in the three-second zone when playing the center position?

    It¡¯s not Mutombo, Campbell, Ostertag, or even O¡¯Neal, it¡¯s someone Zhang!

    Although he doesn¡¯t have much time playing center, once Zhang Hao plays center and defends for 20 seconds, he can stay in the three-second zone for more than 16 seconds.

    ??Unfortunately, the one who ranks ninth in terms of ratio is O'Neal.

    The two of them are the favorite inside combination in the league to squat in the three-second zone.

    ¡°I¡¯m so popular, shouldn¡¯t the league support me?

    Shouldn¡¯t it be that if I can¡¯t score, I¡¯ll stick to the opponent, and then give me a whistle and send me to the free throw line to score?

    Shouldn¡¯t it be that if I can¡¯t beat the opponent, I will stretch my feet when the opponent shoots, lie flat all the way and then get another fmvp?

    Shouldn¡¯t it be that I rushed to the basket and grabbed the ball? Then I found that it was blocked and I could take a few more steps to get out of position and shoot again?

    Shouldn¡¯t it be that if I withdraw a step and find that I have no chance to withdraw, I will not be blown away if I withdraw another step?

    It shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡±

    After Zhang Hao¡¯s crazy slander, I feel that he is actually doing okay. He now has very little time to play center.

    It¡¯s miserable to be fat!

    Being cut down for protecting the frame, being cut down for singles

    "As long as the big fat guy is given a regular season to adapt to his new weight, it won't be a big problem. From my side"

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 21 years old on January 7, 1977.

    Height 211 cm, wingspan 222 cm

    Weight: 108 kg.

    Position: Forward

    Team: Los Angeles Lakers.

    Ability evaluation: 91

    Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 92, jumping 94, flexibility 96, stamina 95

    Shooting: 87 three-pointers, 93 mid-range shots, 96 layups

    Skills: 84 ball control, 79 passing, 94 catch and shoot, 90 catch-and-turn jump shot, 88 high post skills, 71 low post skills, 85 cutting, 64 jump steps, 86 turn, 90 change of direction, emergency stop jump shot  79¡­¡±

    During this long offseason, the biggest improvement in physical fitness was in terms of explosive power. I didn¡¯t practice it specifically. With age and the natural growth brought about by high-intensity exercise, explosive power no longer hindered me.  I did not gain weight during this period, but worked hard on basic defensive skills, mainly in terms of movement and change of direction pursuit. My flexibility has returned to the optimal 96, and my physical strength has also increased slightly.

    Shooting has steadily improved, and the three-point shooting is very close to what it was before the three-point line specifications were changed a year ago. After half a year of practice, the mid-range shooting should not be far from 94.

    In terms of technology, the biggest improvement this summer is still in the catch-and-shoot area. Both catch-and-shoot and catch-and-turn jump shots have reached the top level. Others still need to be improved. Zhang Hao¡¯s long offseason offense  The direction of strengthening the end is very clear, and the others have not yet taken their turn, but they have been improved to some extent, such as emergency stop jump shots and high post shots, both of which have been clearly improved.

    In addition, the foundation of basic single defense skills has been polished, and the most basic things have been practiced very well

    On January 17, the NBA resumed operations, players began to get busy, and team managers were equally busy.

    After entering January last year, the league's teams almost completely stopped negotiating contract renewals. According to American cable TV, as of the start of the lockout, which was the complete end of last season, the 29 teams, including first-round rookies, had a total of only 287  Players are under contract, and according to NBA regulations, the condition for a team to register for the new season is to have at least 14 players, which means that the teams combined have 119 to 148 vacant player positions.

    In the players unionStrive to gain more say in contract matters.

    And Zhang Hao was right. In the next three years, the salaries of Zhang Hao and O'Neal will basically fill up the salary cap. Kenny Anderson's contract is too big. There is no way. After the new version of the labor agreement is released, those 7 years  Superstars of playing age cannot get as high a salary as Kenny Anderson under the current salary cap.

    And they tried to stop the losses as much as possible and brought back Pierce, Zhang Hao's good friend, which has settled the matter.

    This time, Jason Williams was not renewed. It was indeed a problem with their operations. This time they let go of Jason Williams. In the future, they want to sign back a substitute with an annual salary of tens of millions.  Not coming back.

    The logo man was still brainstorming what to say. Magic and others who came to help did not expect that the situation would become like this. The talks were originally going well. As for the team management, the star player was dissatisfied, and there were good reasons.  If you want to beat the management, they can just tolerate it.

    Originally, Magic and others thought that this matter would be fine as long as the management gave in, but Jim Buss directly pushed this matter to another level.

    Now I don¡¯t know where to start if I want to ease the situation!

    At this time, Zhang Hao raised a question: "Mr. West, do you think I really care that much about getting the highest salary?"

    The people at the scene were stunned when they heard this.

    Persona is very important - the stone Buddha does not lie.

    The logo man, Kupchak, Jenny Buss and others recalled the year before last. Before the start of last season, Jim Buss made a constructive suggestion-Zhang Hao may not have too high salary requirements.

    "You are always self-righteous. You always think what will happen to me. Why don't you come and ask me directly what I think? Do I pay you less?"

    "I'm worried that I need to pay too much luxury tax. Why don't you just give me an ordinary maximum salary? You must renew my contract in advance and wait until the lockout is over. I have 6 years of playing experience.  The salary is only 9 million, right?

    If necessary, I am willing to sign a lower contract, even if it is at the peak of my career. If you give me the highest salary in history for one year when I retire, and let me retire with dignity, then I will be very happy.  ¡­

    It¡¯s just that you have never asked me what I think.  "

    This is the first time for the Lakers management and celebrities to hear Zhang Hao say so many words.

    But when they saw Zhang Hao's calm expression, they didn't feel relieved at all.

    The logo man even looked at Pierce for help, but Pierce just looked at him without any reaction at all.

    Pierce just said on his face - I support all decisions made by Akers.

    I don¡¯t know why, but now, the logo man, the magician and others no longer even have the thought of being angry with the boss¡¯s stupid son, and they all look at Jim Bass like they are a fool.

    "In that case, I'll tell you what I think - I don't like money, I'm not interested in money."

    "I have decided, Mr. West, I apply for a trade. You can disagree. In that case, I will choose to retire and come back after your contract expires. It just so happens that I recently found a coaching job  "As he spoke, Zhang Hao pointed at Jim Bass who was about to speak again: "Boss, is there anything else you want to say?"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 427 427. Can¡¯t come back?  Yes!  (8000 words, please vote for me)

    The nearly seven-month suspension is definitely a huge impact on the NBA.

    ??Especially for the surrounding industries built by the owners around the team, it has a huge impact.

    The lockout has finally ended, but before the NBA has begun to slow down, let alone slow down, it has ushered in a disaster that is even more terrifying than the lockout - Zhang Hao may retire!

    At first, t.n.t sports channel, which was playing the video of last year's finals, suddenly cut off the program and reported a breaking news - Zhang Hao, the FMVP of the past two years, proposed a trade application to the Lakers. If the Lakers did not agree, Zhang Hao  Will choose to retire!

    Kenny Anderson and Jason Williams left the Lakers one after another due to salary issues. After Jason Williams announced that he had signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Nets, the Lakers had no intention of matching the contract.  After the news came to light, some media speculated that there might be problems within the Lakers.

    The "Nets Big Three" combination of Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, and Jason Williams has become a symbol of the Lakers.

    After the contracts of these two people expired, they received high-paying offers from other teams and left the teams one after another. At this time, the signs were already showing.

    ¡°Then Zhang Hao didn¡¯t go to the Time Warner training facility for two days in a row, and there were reports that the Lakers gathered people to appease Zhang Hao.

    When Zhang Hao was alone, he did not express his views on this matter to anyone, and seemed to be putting up with it.

    But I didn¡¯t expect the Lakers management¡¯s appeasement to mess things up!

    Under normal circumstances, such a meeting should be very hidden and the content will not be exposed.

    But many details have been revealed.

    "If we hadn't traded you from the Nets, you wouldn't be here today"

    Jim Buss¡¯s words went viral all over the world!

    Of course, it seemed that there was still room for change in this matter. Zhang Hao did not accept an interview afterwards, and it seemed that he did not want to continue to escalate the situation.

    But the next day, when the Lakers training camp began, Zhang Hao did not attend the media day at the Great Western Forum Arena. Instead, he appeared at the game between Oxford Academy in Los Angeles and Inglewood High School and Oxford Academy.

    Now, things are really serious!

    According to gossip media reports, after receiving the news at the NBA headquarters in New York, David Stern immediately wanted to carry a chair to Los Angeles to go shopping with Jim Buss.

    It¡¯s a pity that the boss chair is too heavy to lift.

    ?????????? Originally, people still looked at this matter as amusement, because Zhang Hao did not tear his face in private. People thought that Zhang Hao was just making trouble to vent his dissatisfaction because of Jim Bass¡¯s arrogant remarks.

    Now people know that the Stone Buddha is the Stone Buddha. He is ruthless and doesn¡¯t talk much. He doesn¡¯t play tricks. Just like he said, he went directly to become a coach.

    That night, Lakers owner Jerry Buss took Magic, O'Neal, the logo man and others to Zhang Hao's house. It turned out that Zhang Hao's house was empty and the construction team was doing renovation measurements.

    After asking about it, I learned that because Zhang Hao¡¯s child was about to be born, Zhang Hao¡¯s mother came to the United States and moved to a larger house in Beverly Hills.

    ¡­¡­

    The Lakers are really panicking now. For the first time, they are so unwilling to become the focus of the world.

    But now they are the focus of the world.

    Last summer, Zhang Hao had just helped the Lakers complete two consecutive championships. Except for George Mikan, who led the Lakers to three consecutive championships, the best results achieved by other super giants in the history of the Lakers were two consecutive championships.

    And this two consecutive championships are stronger than the other two consecutive championships, with 73 wins in the regular season and 15 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Lakers last season were the strongest team in a single season in history.

    During this period, Zhang Hao¡¯s role was irreplaceable.

    In the summer, during the lockout, Zhang Hao led the Chinese team to defeat the American team, won third place in the World Championships, and gained countless fans in Europe.

    At this time, the Lakers forced Zhang Hao to retire!

    We are doing it for your own good - the Lakers' operation on Zhang Hao was regarded by t.n.t sports channel as a popular star No, it was the popular commentator Charles Barkley who extracted the essence.

    But what has been discussed the most is the arrogance of the Bass family.

    With the end of the training camp and the start of the preseason, Zhang Hao still has not returned to the team. Everyone understands that there is absolutely no room for turning around on this matter.

    The knife has been placed on the Lakers' neck. Should he chop off an arm or his head?

    Zhang Hao is really planning to retire, and he only turned 22 at the beginning of the month. Even if he comes back after the end of this contract, he will only be 24 and a half years old. No matter where he goes by then, he will be the same.p; Of course, Xiao Ming, you can aim to become the most dominant center.

    But there is no need to worry. You are still young and you can make a decision after the age of 20. Your next priority is to choose whether to play professional games or go to college. You can do this by competing in professional games or college games, as well as next year's Olympic Games.  , wait for the competition in many aspects, think about it carefully, and then make a decision.

    No matter which direction, I will help you improve yourself.  "

    Zhang Hao's words made Yao Ming's thinking clearer. The excitement brought by the idea of ??"I want to deal with O'Neal" began to fade. In fact, he had a clearer understanding of the matter of "career".

    It is not to deal with a certain player, but to make a choice that is more beneficial to yourself.

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao's departure from the Lakers has become a foregone conclusion. Now the media and fans are focusing on this matter, which is where Zhang Hao is going.

    At this time, those teams that were in contact with the Lakers all wanted to take advantage.

    This kind of situation has really happened before. In 1982, Moses Malone, who had just won the regular season MVP, wanted to change teams. At that time, Moses Malone became a restricted free agent, and the Rockets had the right to match other teams.  offered a contract, but Moses Malone was determined to leave, so the Rockets could only discuss sign-and-trade with the team that made the offer.

    But those teams that made the offer wanted nothing. In the end, the Rockets only got a first-round pick and Caldewell-Jones. The first-round pick ended up being the last pick in the first round of 1983, Caldewell.  In the 1981-82 season, he only averaged 7.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.

    And Moses Malone went to the 76ers and joined forces with Julius Erving, Andrew Toney, Maurice Cheeks and others. Moses Malone completed the MVP achievement of changing teams and helped the 76ers win the championship.  , that championship was the only championship won by another team when the Lakers and Celtics won the championship in the first eight years of the 1980s.

    Jerry Buss and Logo Man tried to exchange Zhang Hao for players of equivalent value, which required at least 2-3 All-Stars, or two All-Stars plus draft picks. Such requirements met with obstacles everywhere.

    Originally, the Lakers' two consecutive championships have become a thorn in the side of each team, and it is impossible to help the Lakers overcome the predicament at this time.

    The Celtics are very interesting. They made an offer for Kenny Anderson and three future first-round picks. All three first-round picks are unprotected. This is already the best offer. If the Lakers are willing  , they could trade two of their three first-rounders for Anthony Walker.

    This time the Lakers refused.

    In desperation, Old Buss could only take back the decision-making power from Jim Buss and the logo man, and handed it over to the more capable eldest daughter Jenny Buss.

    At this time, a turning point soon came

    On April 10th, it was the end of the regular season, and things finally came to an end!

    The Los Angeles Lakers and the Seattle SuperSonics reached a trade agreement. The SuperSonics sent Gary Payton, Billy Owens, Dale Ellis, and a 2000 first-round lottery protected pick to get the Lakers' Zhang Hao!

    After this deal was submitted to the league, the league was not as active as before. After several rounds of discussions with the league's top brass, David Stern made a decision and decided to agree to the deal.

    But the league put forward a requirement to the SuperSonics and Zhang Hao - Zhang Hao's future contract renewal salary must be in line with market value.

    ReasonStarbucks owner Howard Schultz acquired 71% of the Sonics after the lockout and became the majority owner of the Sonics.

    Zhang Hao and the Sonics agreed to the conditions proposed by the league without hesitation.

    On April 13, after nearly three months of long tug-of-war, NBA officially announced that Zhang Hao will officially join the SuperSonics after the end of this season!

 Chapter 428 428. Just say that his and I overlap (8000 words, please vote for me)

    The past three months, from Zhang Hao's perspective, have been a very relaxing three months.

    He doesn¡¯t have to worry about the game, he can be with his wife, he can have enough time to watch the two boys every day, and he can do what he wants to do every dayexcept he can¡¯t play the game.

    But in the basketball world, a lot has happened in these three months.

    The reason why these things did not cause too much heated discussion before is because the ratings of Zhang Hao's soap opera were so good.

    The dust has settled on Zhang Hao¡¯s departure and the time for his comeback has been clarified. Before this matter was confirmed, the popularity continued. After it was confirmed, it entered the hottest stage of discussion.

    O¡¯Neal has always complained that Zhang Hao is too stingy and not generous enough.

    Now after the transaction is completed, under the deliberate guidance of the media, O'Neal said in an interview: "I don't even want to mention his name, he is a traitor, he is a softie who only knows how to shoot"

    Remy Martin has just won two consecutive championships, and now they have become mortal enemies. This has a lot to do with the guidance of the media.

    After arriving, public opinion turned to the topic of whether the duo of Payton + O'Neal can continue to defend the title and complete three consecutive championships.

    The Lakers were once in a state of collapse. They tentatively signed free agent Dennis Rodman, and the already unstable internal situation was still messed up. In April, they returned to the top four in the Western Conference, and now they have acquired Payton.  , the situation is definitely better than forcing Zhang Hao to stay but Zhang Hao goes on strike.

    Although Payton is not as good as Zhang Hao in people's minds, he has been a second-team point guard for the past four years.

    Payton was traded to the Lakers. In people's eyes, Payton's life is too good!

    According to media reports, when Payton learned that he was traded, he was so excited that he jumped and cried.

    At this time, some things about the Sonics that had been ignored before were noticed - Vin Baker, who had just signed a five-year, $60 million contract, was overweight due to drug and alcohol abuse during the lockout.  The best team, averaging 19.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block per game, versatile offensive and defensive, 13.8 points and 6.2 rebounds this season, can only play 30 minutes per game

    Since Vin Baker is currently only 27 years old, not many people think that Vin Baker is going to be useless now. Instead, they regard Vin Baker as Zhang Hao's strongest helper after joining the SuperSonics in the new season. They feel that Vin Baker will be replaced this summer.  It can definitely be adjusted, after all, Vin Baker has been a second-team player for the past four years.

    But this time the season was shortened, Vin Baker really affected Payton.

    Originally, when they heard that Zhang Hao was on strike, Payton thought they had a chance to win the championship. Then he saw Vin Baker, who had only returned to the team at the end of January, dragging a figure like Oliver Miller

    Before being traded to the Lakers, Payton worked hard, but the Sonics still only had a record of 17 wins and 19 losses, with 14 games left, and it seemed that they would not even make the playoffs.

    Now that Payton has been traded to the Lakers, although it is a pity that he failed to take away Jose Hawkins and Schrempf, two powerful teammates, it has already made Payton extremely excited!

    Even if Vin Baker's condition has not collapsed, compared with O'Neal, he is still a player from two different worlds!

    The Lakers delayed for a few months and lost Zhang Hao, but they finally got back a second-team superstar. The current lineup is not very suitable, but at least they have recovered some losses and will not be defeated by the Celtics.  The team has empty gloves and a white wolf.

    After the results of this kind of thing appeared, people's discussion about Zhang Hao turned into how Zhang Hao will return next season and what kind of record he will achieve; and how far the Lakers can go this season after experiencing this disaster.  Far away, is the dynasty still possible? Can the inside and outside combination of O'Neal and Payton work together in the future

    Zhang Hao has confirmed the time for his comeback and will definitely come back with the SuperSonics. The league has avoided the disaster of losing the first player in the league and the first player in the future at the same time. Finally, from the perspective of fans' attention, the league operations have truly begun to return to normal.  More people are discussing what happened to other teams this season.

    The Jazz became the favorite to win the championship. Malone continued his incredible performance and played 35 games. He led the Jazz to a record of 26 wins and 9 losses, ranking first in the league and becoming the top favorite for MVP. This year  In July, Malone will turn 36 years old. If it weren't for Jordan and Malone who entered the NBA in 1985, no one would dare to believe that a player at the age of 35 can still become the number one favorite for MVP.

    The Suns, Trail Blazers, and Timberwolves, the three high-profile youth teams in the Western Conference, have also undergone great changes after the lockout.

    The Trail Blazers are getting better and better. The pick-and-roll combination of Nash and Rasheed Wallace is playing very well under the leadership of Sabonis. The Trail Blazers have changed owners during the lockout. Paul Allen doesn't care about the NBA.A member of the team, but his ability was outstanding, so he continued to stay.

    In terms of players, there are not many players who are still under contract. The contracts of veterans such as Jose Hawkins, Sam Perkins, Schrempf, and Alden Polynice will all expire after the end of this season.  It's expired, and Aaron Williams' contract has expired.

    Originally, the contracts of Billy Owens and Dale Ellis expired in 2001. However, due to the lockout, the status of the two veterans declined seriously, and they were sent away by Howard Schultz when he matched the salary gap between Payton and Zhang Hao.  gone.

    Now, the Sonics still have players under contract:

    Jelani McCoy, the fourth pick in the second round of 1998, is 22 years old, center, 208 cm, 118 kg. In his rookie year, he averaged 5.1 points and 3 rebounds per game.

    Ratliff, a center in the same class as Zhang Hao, played 30 games in the shortened season, averaging 31 minutes per game, scoring 10.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

    The team¡¯s best asset, a seven-year, $63 million contract is a bit long, but at 26 years old, a little longer is just right.

    Vladimir Stepanya, the 26th pick in the first round of the 1998 class, 23 years old, center, 213 cm, 126 kg, averaged 4.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in his rookie year.

    In addition to these three brothers, there are two other power forwards who have contracts.

    ??Vin Baker, 27 years old, 208 cm, 136 kg 5-year, $60 million contract starts next season.

    There is one bright spot, but Zhang Hao guessed that Howard Schultz didn't care about it - Rashard Lewis, the fifth pick in the second round of the 1998 class, didn't play much due to injury in his rookie year, and played a total of 140 minutes. It was cheap.  The salary is $340,000 this season and $380,000 the next season.

    "Mr. Howard, the current situation is that we have nothing but a bunch of centers?"

    When it was time to get down to business, Howard Schultz became serious: "The two heavy centers selected in 1998 were both designed to deal with you and O'Neal, but the effect was not good."

    Zhang Hao nodded: "Yes, the current Mr. O'Neal, except for Malone + Ostertag, Duncan + Campbell, Brown + Mourning, Wallace + Sabonis, it is difficult for other inside combinations to restrict him.  .¡±

    Howard Schultz was a little surprised: "You think so highly of O'Neal? I don't think he performed well this season without your help! He didn't even control his weight. If Payton and Fox hadn't performed well, the Lakers would have lost  The team may be defeated by the Rockets in the first round."

    "That's because he is still in the adaptation stage. After he adapts to his new style of play next season, it will become very scary with Payton passing the ball!"

    "Zhang Hao doesn't say polite words, he just talks about everything. Howard Schultz is worried.

    "By the way, Mr. Howard, why do you want to renew the contract with Baker?"

    "What?"

    "Why should you renew your contract with Baker!"

    "I thought I heard wrong. It's normal to renew the contract with Baker! He is 27 years old. He has been on the best team level in the past few years. It is just because of the lockout that he has not controlled his weight well. This offseason, I urge him to train well and lose weight.  After losing weight, he will be 28 years old in the new season, a golden age, and will definitely be your best helper!"

    "Mr. Howard, is this your true opinion?"

    "certainly."

    ¡°Do the media and experts think so too?¡±

    "Yes! What's wrong? When Baker and I completed the contract extension, the media and experts said that we took advantage and renewed the contract when Baker was at his worst. The price was very low. If the contract had been renewed last season,  He can get 100 million in 7 years."

    "That's good, Mr. Howard, our first operation let's put Baker on the shelves for sale! Let's just say that my position overlaps with his."

    "ah?"

 Chapter 429 429. Did you buy a team to play as a real-life simulated manager?  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    What kind of way of doing business is this?

    Driving away your best helper as soon as you arrive?

    Howard Schultz suddenly felt that he cared too much about Zhang Hao's thoughts?  This young man can play basketball and do business, but he may not have much talent in operating an NBA team.

    Seeing Howard Schultz's expression, Zhang Hao found that he still had to explain himself and said: "The news I got is that Baker's drug and alcohol abuse has become more serious after he got the contract extension. I don't think he will return to his previous appearance next season.  , it could get worse, so we have to send him away while his trade value is the best."

    Howard Schultz understood. Zhang Hao asked him about his opinion, the opinions of the media and experts, and it turned out that he was analyzing Vin Baker's transaction value!

    A second-team star who is in his prime at the age of 27 or 8, such a player needs to be traded Under normal circumstances, unless Kemp and Vin Baker are two second-team players, or they are traded  Payton is replaced by Zhang Hao, otherwise it is almost impossible for any team to trade for a second-team player who is in his prime.

    There are 29 teams in the NBA, with 5 players on the first team and 5 players on the second team. Even if you take into account that there are too many players in some positions who are not included in the best team, the players in the second team are at least the top 20 in the league.

    The top 20 are divided into 29 teams in the league, which is not enough for each team to have a second-team level star.

    But if, as Zhang Hao said, Vin Baker, a former second-team player who seems to be renewing his contract cheaply at present, stays, he will definitely become a big trouble for their SuperSonics team in the future!

    He did not question the authenticity of what Zhang Hao said. Maybe the information Zhang Hao received was inaccurate, but Howard Schultz did not doubt whether Zhang Hao's own views were his true views.

    Howard Schultz nodded and agreed.

    "By the way, Mr. Howard, what do you want me to do when you show me these lists? Go to the free market to recruit helpers?"

    "Uh" Howard Schultz then remembered the purpose of his visit, and all the previous rhythm was taken away by Zhang Hao.

    After sorting out his thoughts, Howard Schultz said: "I came today to talk to you about our team building plan this summer. Of course, you have to come forward to recruit free agents. I have no influence in the basketball world.  force.

    If you have someone to recommend for positions such as general manager and head coach, I will seriously consider it.

    There is still some time before the trade window opens. We can slowly discuss future plans, general manager, head coach, trades, draft, free agent recruitment. We need to make decisions that are suitable for us"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao and the new team owner Howard Schultz began their first discussion about the team building plan. This was the first time he truly participated in this discussion, and he was not very skilled.

    But as Howard Schultz said, it's still early. Since the regular season only ends on April 30, even if we sweep every round of this year's playoffs, the finals will be finished by the end of June. This year's offseason begins.  The time is July 10th, and the draft is July 5th. Many things can be taken slowly.

    Fans here in Seattle are celebrating the joining of Zhang Hao. What is the hottest thing for basketball fans in the Seattle area right now?  Buy a Lakers jersey, remove the Lakers logo, and sew the SuperSonics logo on

    Fans of other teams are focused on the ongoing playoffs.

    The teams that made the playoffs this year, the Western Conference: the Jazz with 37 wins in first place, the Suns in second place with 36 wins, the Trail Blazers in third place with 36 wins, the Lakers in fourth place with 28 wins, the third place  The fifth is the Rockets with 27 wins, the sixth is the Spurs with 27 wins, the seventh is the Kings with 27 wins, and the eighth is the Timberwolves with 25 wins.

    On the 8th, Trail Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy won the best coach.

    On the 9th, the Hawks' short power forward Alan Henderson of the 1995 class won the Most Improved Award ahead of Bulls small forward Tracy McGrady by 3 votes; the Pacers' substitute inside man Antonio David  Si won the Best Sixth Man Award.

    On the 10th, Kings general manager Joev Petry won the manager of the season award by trading Mitch Richmond for Chris Webber.

    On the 12th, Raptors shooting guard Vince Carter won the Rookie of the Year Award, Heat center Alonzo Mourning won the Best Defensive Player Award, and Jazz power forward Karl Malone won the regular season award for the second time in three years.  mvp.

    By May 14th, the two games on this day were very popular.?After the Eastern and Western finals were played, because the second round ended too early, it was a rare three-day break between the two series in this shortened season. On the 28th, the Eastern and Western finals will start at the same time.

    On the 26th, the NBA¡¯s annual draft lottery is here.

    After trading for Zhang Hao, the SuperSonics immediately started the bad mode, with a final record of 19 wins and 31 losses. That is to say, after trading for Zhang Hao, the Sonics won two games and ultimately ranked eighth in the league.

    For this ranking, Zhang Hao has the slightest expectation

    Then, the Bulls, who were second to last, won the No. 1 pick, and the Grizzlies, who were last, got the second pick. Among the teams that did not make the playoffs, they had the best record of 26 wins and 24 losses, which was better than the Timberwolves, who were eighth in the Western Conference.  The Hornets, who had a good record, actually got the third overall pick.

    And their SuperSonics team, ranked 8th from the bottom, only got the No. 9 pick!

    After watching the draft, Zhang Hao expressed strong dissatisfaction with Howard Schultz¡¯s bad luck

    But fortunately, it's not that easy to get the top three picks with the eighth-worst record. No, the No. 1 pick and the second pick are the second-to-last and last-last picks. It's just the Hornets' luck in the lottery.  Very good!

    "Wait, something seems to be wrong Damn! Kobe is going to the Bulls! There is McGrady there! Let me see, McGrady is averaging 13.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.9 blocks per game this season Damn it!"

 Chapter 430 430. Management work is not easy (6000 words, please double the monthly ticket!)

    Before the start of the Eastern and Western Conference finals, this year¡¯s three best lineups were announced.

    In previous years, all awards would be announced in the second round, but this year the time is too tight.

    In terms of the first team, Kidd, Iverson, Malone, Duncan, and Mourning were selected together.

    In terms of the second team, Tim Hardaway, Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, Chris Webber, and O'Neal were selected together.

    In terms of the third team, Stockton, Payton, Antonio McDyess, Garnett, and David Robinson were selected together.

    There are many people who feel sorry for the Suns. If Gugliotta is replaced by Antonio McDyess, Kidd is paired with Antonio McDyess's duo to defend the pick-and-roll, and Luke Longley is added to protect the frame.  Then the Suns may not be penetrated by Nash and Rasheed Wallace's pick-and-roll offense.

    In terms of first defense, Kidd, Payton, Duncan, Malone, and Mourning were selected together.

    In terms of second defense, Mookie Blakelow, Eddie Jones, PJ Brown, Ratliff, and Mutombo were selected together.

    Mourning became the first double-team center after Olajuwon and David Robinson. It was quite surprising before the end of this season, but this double-team was defeated

    In terms of the All-Rookie Team, Bibby, Carter, Pierce, Jamison, and Wang Zhizhi were selected to the first team, while Jason Williams, Mobley, Matt Harpring, Michael Doliak, and Michael Olowokane were selected.  Dee was selected to the second team.

    Olowokandi is indeed in trouble, but in fact it is not that bad. If a high school student in the future meets the person he is destined to be, Olowokandi will be saved.

    The main reason is that Olowokandi was praised too much before the draft. Otherwise, he averaged 8.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 30 minutes per game. It can only be said that he is not excellent, nor is he particularly bad. However, he was praised.  The second biggest dream player, he was compared with Zhang Hao and Duncan during the draft.

    When the three best lineups were announced, many people felt uncomfortable because in the past three years, there was a Ritian name in the lineup

    ¡­¡­

    On May 28th, the Eastern and Western Conference finals began. Yesterday, the day after the draft lottery ended, registration for the 1999 NBA draft began. Yesterday afternoon, the NBA official website had posted a list of some of the rookies who registered on the first day.

    At Duke University, a college student who did not want to be named and was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination accepted an exclusive interview with American Cable TV.

    "Bryant, have you submitted your draft application to the NBA?"

    "Of course, I am ready to partner with Tracy. We have known each other for several years. I am very happy to be able to partner with him in the NBA."

    ¡°Do you think you will definitely be selected with the first overall pick?¡±

    "Otherwise? Where do you think I should be selected?"

    "I also think you should be selected with the first overall pick. Which teams are you going to go to for trial training? Will you only accept the top three picks?"

    "Trial training? Sorry, I don't have time. I'm preparing for the master's degree exam at the end of the year. The Bulls have contacted me this morning. They will come here to test me"

    ¡­¡­

    "This little blacksmith really loves to show off. I don't know who he learned it from"

    Hearing that there was an interview with Kobe Bryant, Zhang Hao took a look and simply didn't notice it.

    "We should put little Zhizhi next to Kobe and hold up a sign saying 'I'm going to show off'!"

    Zhang Hao is also preparing for the draft, but this time he is not participating in the draft, but helping the team complete trial training.

    Howard Schultz, after a few days of general manager addiction, is now seriously interviewing candidates for the general manager position. Since the general manager and head coach have not been signed yet, Zhang Hao has to bring assistant coach Paul  - Westphal went to take charge of the trial.

    Head coach, Zhang Hao also has candidates to interview, and has already sent out invitations. In the past few days, Howard Schultz has gone to interview.

    There are a few candidates, so Zhang can call and ask directly.

    In the few days of rest after the second round, something happened in the NBA.

    There was a big earthquake in the Lakers - the logo man who had been the general manager of the Lakers for more than ten years lost his position as general manager, Mitch Kupchak became the new general manager of the Lakers, the logo man became the general manager consultant, Jenny -  While Buss continued to serve as vice president of business operations, he became the head of the Lakers' player operations department. Coach Del Harris resigned

    As for the Rockets, Olajuwon's request for a pension contract with an annual salary of tens of millions was rejected. The Rockets are ready to disband the twin towers of Olajuwon and Divac. According to media reports, Olajuwon is preparing to change teams to find a new player.  Pension contractSame goes for husband.

    Even the main teammates who reached the Finals together in 1996, including Nate McMillan, Vincent Askew, and Frank Brickkowski, have all retired.

    Payton was replaced by Zhang Hao. Schrempf knew that even if Zhang Hao took a year off, he would still be better than Payton. But even if Payton was replaced by Zhang Hao, it would be difficult to change the current situation of their team's decline, and Wen-  Beck Schrempf knew that this teammate might be hopeless.

    Knowing the real reason why Schrempf wanted to change teams, Zhang Hao said: "Mr. Schrempf, which team is your favorite?"

    "Trail Blazers, 76ers, Suns, Pacers."

    ¡°All the stars of those teams are no match for me.¡±

    "I know that with you here, our team will definitely reach its peak again, but I am 36 years old and I can't wait any longer."

    "Mr. Schrempf, how many more years do you plan to fight?"

    ¡°I plan to retire before the age of 40.¡±

    "I promise I can lead the Sonics to win the championship before you are 40 years old."

    There is no fierce tone, no earnest persuasion, and no emotional cards Even the last sentence, which is supposed to be a heroic promise, is very dull.

    It seems that it is telling a fact!

    ¡°Moreover, when Schramf heard Zhang Hao say such words, he felt that it would definitely happen!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    I met with Schrempf and did not get a verbal commitment from Schremf. Schremf said that he would think about it and would give an answer before the free market opens to confirm whether he will stay or not.

    Zhang Hao was quite satisfied with this result. At least, the other party was not determined to leave.

    One thing was done, Sam Perkins also completed a contract extension for 2 years and $3.8 million.

    Back home, Zhang Hao was preparing to study which players will become free agents this summer and look for recruitment targets. Not only this summer, but also those who will become free agents next summer, he should also pay attention to the issue of salary space The phone rang.  The boss, Howard Schultz, called.

    After the call was connected, an excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Akers, we can choose to trade to get an All-Star, who does not occupy the ball, has good enthusiasm, has a fighting spirit, and is definitely in tune with you!"

    "So good? Can Baker be turned into an All-Star in this situation? Wait, Mr. Schultz, could the person you are talking about be"

    Asking for a monthly ticket!  During the double monthly pass period, friends, please spend some time

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 431 431. Zhang Hao is written on everyone¡¯s face (5000 words, please double the monthly ticket)

    ¡°I, Jia Hansan, am back again!

    It¡¯s only right to pay back debts, pay back the money!  "

    Jason Williams looked at the huge poster of Zhang Hao above the door of Key Arena. Thinking back, it seemed like yesterday that he played the Sonics in the playoffs.

    Thinking back further, Zhang Hao said "I won't play here again this year" after playing G4. It seemed like it was the day before yesterday

    Who would have thought that before the 20th century was over, Zhang Hao would become the favorite player of basketball fans in this city.

    Just as he was about to go in alone, an old acquaintance walked towards him.

    "Hi, Jason."

    "Oh, Butch, I haven't seen you for a long time. When I went to the Nets at the beginning of the year, you had already left."

    "I resigned last year. The Nets were too messy. I helped them select so many talents, but they all traded away. If you and Marbury hadn't joined them, they wouldn't have made it to the playoffs this season.  I took a year off, and Aix said he didn¡¯t have enough people here and asked me to help, so I came.¡±

    "Is there such a shortage of people here?"

    "Yes, there is a shortage of people. I came here to be a scout, but when I came, he asked me to be responsible for receiving trial players"

    ??It¡¯s different from when Butch Baird was the head coach. At that time, Butch Baird was very strict. Now that he is no longer the head coach, Jason Williams felt very relaxed when chatting with him.

    "Where's Aix? He didn't even come to pick me up. That's too much!"

    ¡°He is trying out for the draft.¡±

    "Is he trying out for the draft?"

    "right¡­¡­"

    Jason Williams followed Butch Baird to the training ground and saw Zhang Hao observing the technical test of two young people.

    "Who are those two people?"

    "Members of the Argentine national team are now playing in Italy and have applied to participate in the draft. Aix played against them when they played in the World Championships and felt that they have great potential and invited them to participate in trial training. However, these two people and Italy  All the clubs still have contracts, which don¡¯t expire until 2002. We only have a second-round pick, and we don¡¯t know who Akers will pick.¡±

    "Who will Aix decide to choose?"

    "Yes, now Akers is in charge of our trades and drafts. Our boss is interviewing the general manager and head coach. We originally decided on the head coach, but that coach was snatched away by the Lakers."

    "Who is it?"

    "A former colleague of mine later became an assistant coach with the Pacers, Trail Blazers, and Warriors By the way, you were also with the Nets at that time, and our assistant coach in the 1994-95 season was Carlisle."

    "Oh, it's him"

    Jason Williams no longer remembered who Carlisle was, but he still responded.

    The two waited for a while. The two members of the Argentine national team finished their trial training. Zhang Hao couldn't help but rub the shorter man with long hair on his head and walked towards Jason Williams and Butch Baird.

    ¡°Jason, long time no see.¡±

    ¡°When your child was born in March, I happened to go to Los Angeles to play against the Clippers, and I bought so many gifts for your child. It¡¯s been a long time since I last saw you!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this how you should say hello?¡±

    Jason Williams thought about it, he just said hello to Butch Baird in the same waythere seemed to be nothing wrong with him.

    "I didn't expect that I retired and didn't play for a year, and we were still teammates when I came back."

    "yes¡­¡­"

    Jason Williams suddenly recalled the time in 1995, when they met for the first time and they both disliked each other.

    As a result, in the past few years, as long as Zhang Hao is playing, they have always been partners.

    After sighing with emotion, Jason Williams asked: "Who did you try out just now? Is it good?"

    "It's pretty awesome. The shorter one is called Ginobili. He is like Jordan in the international arena. The taller one is called Kirisek. Ginobili is more athletic and has better skills, but he doesn't have a long shot.  , his physical strength is relatively poor, Kirisek has a wider shooting range, is more mature, has a thicker body, and his athletic ability is not very good."

    I didn¡¯t ask in such detail!  You don¡¯t need to be so detailed!

    But when they were all talking about this, Jason Williams also chatted with Zhang Hao about this year¡¯s draft.

    They haven¡¯t worked together for a year, but when they get together, the two of them seem to be the same as they were back then, and they just do what they should.

    For example, even if the topic we talk about is not that interesting, it doesn¡¯t matter if we talk about it.

    Jason Williams has been in other situations in the past six months.??After the finals ended and the window for transactions related to this year's draft picks opened, it was officially completed, once again triggering people's complaints about the Sonics' "coffee-selling boss".

    Howard Schultz is now recruiting in colleges, and he is always asked about his operations with the Sonics.

    The Sonics have not been affected by external public opinion and are doing their own thing.

    On June 28, the Sonics signed former Bulls and Pistons coach Doug Collins as head coach, and Inglewood High School coach Scott Collins as assistant coach, responsible for player development.  Nate McMillan, who announced his retirement after 12 years with the team after the 1998 lockout, serves as a defensive assistant.

    On June 30, the SuperSonics officially renewed Paul Westphal's contract as an assistant coach, and also signed former Suns star Alvan Adams as assistant general manager.

    After confirming his contract extension with the SuperSonics, Schrempf took his family to travel to Miami for a while.

    After returning to Seattle, I was shocked to find that everyone in the team management and coaching staff had a label on them-Zhang Hao!

    Almost every aspect of the team belongs to Zhang Hao!

    "Can our team really win a championship before I turn 40?"

    Originally, Schramf felt confident every time he recalled Zhang Hao's promise to "state the facts."

    But when I came back from this trip and saw my own team I really wanted to escape, but I couldn't escape anymore

    ¡­¡­

    Previously, the Lakers¡¯ treatment of Zhang Hao¡¯s ¡°I¡¯m doing this for your own good¡± was ridiculed and complained about for a long time.

    Now, the SuperSonics' operation, that coffee seller's operation is completely opposite to the Lakers' operation - I will give you whatever you want and the media and fans have also complained wildly.

    You are not used to being a superstar, right?

    When the coaching staff of the Scott brothers, Silver Fox, Paul Westphal, and McMillan met for the first time, they had the same idea as the media and fans.

    But after calming down, they discovered that their coaching staff seemed to be very good!

    It¡¯s just that they are more or less labeled as ¡°Zhang Hao¡¯s family¡±.

    Scott Collins, Zhang Hao¡¯s high school coach, Zhang Hao¡¯s colleague the year he retired, Doug Collins, Scott Collins¡¯ twin brother.

    Paul Westphal seems to have nothing to do with Zhang Hao, but Alvan Adams has been Zhang Hao's passing trainer in the offseason in the past few years, and Alvan Adams was Paul Westphal's partner during his playing days.

    ??Yinhu, Zhang Hao's coach for the first three years of his career, Zhang Hao did not have to threaten his son with a job to get him here.

    Only McMillan has nothing to do with Zhang Hao.

    Not to mention the management, Zhang Hao directly wrapped up the management!

    However, putting aside the label "Zhang Hao", they found that their new colleagues seemed to be excellent, but the media was more willing to hype the label "Zhang Hao".

 Chapter 432 432.1999 Draft (5500 words, please vote for me)

    "Lelin, take care of your father! Why is he like this when it comes to things related to the team?"

    "Dad likes basketball very much. I heard that he was a member of the school team in high school. He has always had a basketball dream. He finally bought a team. It's normal to be excited."

    "But it's been half a year, is it so long-lasting?"

    "Huh? What?"

    "nothing."

    July has arrived, and when the management and coaching staff have decided who they will be, it is Howard Schultz who is doing the interviewing, signing, etc.

    Zhang Hao is asking Pelinka to investigate where the person he is looking for is.

    In the past two years, information and communication technology has just ushered in a leap forward, and it has become easier to find people. Even if Zhang Hao only provided a last name, knew that he was a junior in college, and did not even know what his last name was, Pelinka still found the person.  , the information has been clearly investigated, and all his family circumstances have been investigated.

    Sam Presti, 23 years old, studied social relations at Virginia Wesleyan College in the 1995-96 and 1996-97 academic years, while playing in the NCAA Division III league. After confirming that he did not have the talent to become a professional player, he transferred to another school.  He went to Emerson University in Boston to major in resource management. At the same time, he also worked part-time as a recruiter scout for the Boston College Eagles, an NCAA Division I school, helping Boston College find talented high school students outside the major high school rankings.

    His outstanding personal abilities have attracted the attention of some teams

    These information are consistent with Zhang Hao¡¯s impression that Presti was signed by the Spurs as a scout after graduating from college and strongly recommended Spurs general manager RC Buford to select Parker.

    If it weren't for Presti's strong recommendation, the troika would be gone. Popovich didn't look down on Parker at first but he didn't think much of him in the end. Parker was the only one among the troika who failed to end up with the Spurs.  of his career.

    ¡° This kind of talent, when Zhang is rebuilding the lineup, cannot be taken away by other teams to avoid trouble.

    Another point.

    According to Pelinka's investigation, Presti has only attracted the attention of some teams, but he is too young, only 23 years old, and no team has officially contacted him, but Zhang Hao knows that draft vision is such a thing  , has little to do with age.

    At this stage, he doesn¡¯t need a scout with great draft vision, but twenty years from now?  Thirty years from now?

    Now, establish the identity of the "initial working partner", which will be very useful later when he becomes the coach.

    Zhang Hao originally wanted Larry Harris to do this kind of thing, but Howard Schultz rushed to do it!  I took a plane and ran to Boston!

    Larry Harris, Alvan Adams, Butch Baird, as well as the assistants and secretaries brought by Larry Harris, except for Alvan Adams who officially served as the general manager consultant for the first time, everyone else is professional  , even Alvan Adams¡¯ connections cannot be ignored. He is a member of Colangelo¡¯s family. With their joining, the operations of various departments of the Sonics management have become smoother.

    Butch Baird, an old man, acts as lubricant, Larry Harris relied on his father's relationship to become the general manager, Alvan Adams has connections the combination is not bad, I can't say how good it is, but there is nothing  Just pass it.

    At this time, Howard Schultz couldn't find a place to play, so he simply came over to kill him when he had time.

    The big boss who owns more than 70% of the team¡¯s shares does odd jobs

    Corporal Li Xian asked him to intern in the SuperSonics' scouting department after graduation. After the reconstruction was completed, it would be good to help him with gold-plating. After another twenty years, he understood that he did not have the talent to be a general manager, he would be more than 40 years old.  Years old, please come back and be a full-time scout, just like Butch Baird now, perfect.

    Silver Fox received news from colleagues of the Chinese Men¡¯s Basketball National Team ¨C under the leadership of Yao Ming and Hu Weidong, the Chinese Men¡¯s Basketball Team won the 20th Asian Championship.

    For the Chinese team, this Asian Championship is just about winning a championship.

    The Asian Championships are held every two years. Among them, the one before the World Championships is very important because it is related to the tickets for the World Championships.

    But the one before the Olympic Games has a much smaller effect If the Chinese team did not get the top two in the Asian Games last year, it would need this. If the last Asian Championship was a World Championship ticket battle, then this one will be a failure in the Olympic Games.  If you have already obtained Olympic tickets in the Asian Games, your qualifications for the qualifying round will be postponed.

    Precisely because they won the Asian Games championship last year, the World Championships Blue Association arranged for Wang Fei, a domestic coach, to lead the team and train.

    After getting to know the current situation of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team, Silver Fox planned this part of the work.?It started.

    There was no surprise. The first name David Stern read out on the stage was Kobe Bryant!

    Kobe Bryant successfully chose to join the NBA with the first overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft.

    Instead of picking Kobe, the Grizzlies selected another talented player from Duke University-Elton Brand with the second overall pick.

    The Hornets selected Baron Davis with the 3rd overall pick, and the Clippers selected Steve Francis with the 4th overall pick.

    The Raptors selected Lamar Odom with the 5th overall pick, and the Magic selected Jonathan Bender with the 6th overall pick.

    The Cavaliers selected Andre Miller with the 7th overall pick, and the Wizards selected Richard Hamilton with the 8th overall pick.

    When we got to the ninth pick, the trade came!

    The SuperSonics and the Timberwolves reached a deal. The Timberwolves used their 14th and 17th picks in the first round to acquire the Sonics' 9th pick.

    The Timberwolves used the ninth overall pick to select Wally Szczerbiak from the University of Miami.

    With the second lottery pick, the Cavaliers selected Shawn Marion with the 10th overall pick, and the Hawks selected Jason Terry with the 11th overall pick.

    The Raptors, who had their second lottery pick, selected another Duke star Trajan Langton with the 12th pick, and the Warriors selected Corey Maggette with the 13th pick, but then  Trade him to the Magic.

    With the 14th pick, the SuperSonics selected Ron Artest from St. John's University in New York

    ¡­¡­

    "These old men don't think it's a big deal! They were given so many options, and they chose the one that was the most stupid!"

    Zhang Hao also came to the draft, watching who Larry Harris and Doug Collins would pick in the SuperSonics draft office.

    He has considered all the names he provided to Howard Schultz, and the high-ranking options are all players with stronger immediate combat capabilities.

    Originally, everyone in the office was waiting quietly, but after Hamilton was selected by the Wizards with the 8th overall pick, Larry Harris immediately called and completed the deal.

    That is to say, the first option discussed by the management and coaching staff is Hamilton, and the second option is Artest.

    Not long after, the 17th pick of the first round arrived, and Larry Harris submitted the second envelope.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t ask, he just looked at it. Soon, David Stern read out James Posey¡¯s name.

    ?Defensive type means combat power!

    With the 21st pick, another envelope was handed out. This time, no one came on stage to wear a hat. David Stern announced that the Sonics had selected Andrei Kirilenko from Russia

    "Defensive player, defensive player, defensive player not bad, but Kirilenko said during the trial that he still had a two-year contract with the Russian Super League and could not come for the time being. However, this was noted in the draft application.  , so he won't turn down reports to become a free agent after one year like other first-round picks

    I see!  Their first target was Hamilton. If they couldn't select Hamilton, they split the No. 9 pick to select two defensive outsiders. Kirilenko will be used as a replacement in the future

    The old fox¡¯s son really knows how to save money!  This salary structure is well arranged!  These days, few team managements have the awareness to receive rookie bonuses!

    However, there is a prerequisite for receiving the rookie bonus. This rookie either has immediate combat ability, or can quickly convert his talent into strength within one to two years. Otherwise, it is in vain. Thanks to me, the list given to me is all with good immediate combat ability.  Yes, as expected of me.  "

    With the 9th and 21st picks, Zhang Hao does not have to ask who to pick, he can just choose from the given list.

    After selecting the 21st overall pick, the first round has nothing to do with their SuperSonics team.

    They only have the 8th pick in the second round left. For this pick, Zhang Hao made it clear who he wanted to pick. Even if the coaching staff and management were the only ones who saw Ginobili's actual performance and didn't care that much, he made it clear.  Who to choose.

    ¡°With the draft pick at this position in my hand, no one can take away the person I want!¡±

    After waiting for more than half an hour, soon, at 9:54 pm, NBA Vice President Stu Jackson came to the stage again.

    "I announce that the Seattle SuperSonics selected with the 8th overall pick in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft Manu Ginobili from the Vitus Basketball Club of Bologna, Italy!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 433 433. Too many centers?  Then trade it!  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    There were no surprises in this year¡¯s draft.

    The most popular university is undoubtedly Duke University, which has won two consecutive NCAA basketball championships.

    Six Duke University starters or substitutes participated in the selection, and five were selected. Kobe, Brand, Maggette, and Trajan Langton were selected in the first round and all were selected in the lottery.  It's from Duke University.

    The Duke University Blue Devils have reached their peak moment in team history in the past two years, but the peak period of college comes and goes quickly, and it only takes three or four years at most.

    Although Duke University still has Battier and has attracted the attention of more high school talents with its performance in the past three years, it is impossible for them to get Kobe, Brand, and Maggette in the short term.  College students of various levels form a team.

    After the draft, Kobe Bryant held a press conference last year and said, "I decided to enter the NBA with the first pick in 1999."

    In the past, the media always hyped who was Jordan's successor. After the Bulls selected Kobe, they directly posted the headline "Jordan's successor is coming" on the team's official website.

    Officials are serious about Jordan's successor.

    Before he even participated in the draft, Kobe¡¯s popularity was already explosive, and now his popularity is as high as that of those super-popular superstars.

    Kobe Bryant accepted an exclusive interview after the draft and said: "I will become the Bulls' historical scoring leader, I will win 5-6 championships, and be elected to the Hall of Fame. My goal is to be the best in history"

    Second pick Elton Brand said in an interview: "I knew from the beginning that Kobe and I were definitely the top two picks. I am very happy to join the Grizzlies. Me, Mike, Sharif, we are all  With the No. 2 pick, our trio will definitely surprise everyone.¡±

    During the interview, Baron Davis, the No. 1 draft pick, first danced awkwardly, showing the charlatanry attributes of the players from the Los Angeles team, and then said: "I'm going to play with Glenn Rice! That's Glenn -  Les!¡±

    The reporter reminded: "Baron, Glenn Rice has just been traded to the Lakers. Now the best players inside and outside the Hornets are Derrick Coleman and Eddie Jones."

    Baron Davis showed his true-black question mark face: "What did you say? Wait, do it again."

    With that said, Baron Davis danced again, and then acted as if nothing had happened, and said, "I'm going to play with Derrick Coleman and Eddie Jones!"

    Steve Francis, who was selected by the Clippers with the 4th overall pick, said in an interview: "I can actually go to any team. I don't pick a team, but I am extremely excited to play in Los Angeles. The Clippers are  Ignorance will no longer exist and I will lead the Clippers to rise!"

    Lamar Odom, who was selected by the Raptors with the fifth overall pick, seemed naive in an interview: "The Raptors, playing with Carter, I have known him for a long time, he should like me very much, I  Can pass the ball"

    ¡­¡­

    Every rookie has distinct personal characteristics, either proud, a little middle-of-the-road, or relatively stable, but they are all full of confidence and show their personality traits that are completely different from others.

    Now, before the start of the new season, the most popular things in the basketball world are two things, first, rookies, and second, free market.

    In the past four years, the Grizzlies have successively selected Raheem, Antonio Daniels, Bibby, and Brand. Except for the fact that in 1997, almost all the lottery areas were played, and the Grizzlies selected the No. 4 pick.  , Rahim and Bibby both performed well. Brand's immediate combat ability is visible to the naked eye, and his talent is sufficient, but whether it can be converted into results is anyone's guess.

    After a bad year, the Bulls are showing signs of recovery. There is no suspense about selecting Kobe. However, before he became the No. 1 pick, Kobe was both hot and cold. Before the selection, all the media were hyping it, but after being selected,  , voices that doubted whether Kobe Bryant would lose water like Olowokandi also came out.

    The performance of each team in the draft has received mixed reviews from the media and experts. The performance of the hardware that relies on it almost doubles every 18 months, and so many people have invested so much money in the Internet industry in the past few years.  , although many people have begun to jump off buildings now, the Internet has really developed with the investment of funds. Online forums, blogs, etc. are very popular. Many people express their opinions on the Internet. The same is true for basketball.  Everyone has their own opinions on this year's draft.

    The SuperSonics, which did not select players in the lottery, became the hardest hit area for their performance in this draft.

    Ron Artest, a well-known thorn in the college basketball world, entered college at the age of 17. In two years, he received a total of 23 technical fouls, fought 5 times, andLeaving the reception room with a smile Ah hey!  Cassel has just joined our team!  Have you started planning to help Cassel get a high salary from another team in three years?

    Even if we have to talk about this kind of thing, can we wait until no one is around?

    "This damn kid"

    Silver Fox didn¡¯t know what to say. Suddenly, he found that his son was pressing his face against the wall.

    The silver fox asked strangely: "Larry, what's wrong with you?"

    "It's unscientific! Players like Cassel, who are being underpriced everywhere, should care about salary! How could this be? I heard Butch said that when he was with the Nets, he was unwilling to renew his contract in advance because of salary issues.  He was finally traded to the Bucks!"

    Seeing his son doubting his life, Silver Fox was actually a little happy - bastard!  You must have felt the pain in your and my balls during those years!  Now it is your turn!

    Zhang Hao sent Cassel out of the arena, made an appointment to have dinner together, and then returned to the reception room.

    Larry Harris regained his composure and said: "Akers, do we really need to introduce another center? We already have a lot of centers."

    "Trade the more."

    "Aren't you going to deal with O'Neal?"

    "I watched all the game videos of our team last season. When they played against the Lakers, they were completely unable to limit O'Neal. They were not as good as McIlvay. If possible, take advantage of their type.  When the market price of a center is high, trading for an outside line is the best option.

    ¡°AndMr. Harris, let¡¯s find a way to reach the playoffs.  "

 Chapter 434 434. Boss, are we prepared to fight in groups every day?  (4000 words, please vote for me)

    This year's free market seems particularly calm, and there is very little movement of star-level free agents Mainly because few stars will become free agents this year. That is, after the rookie contracts of the players in the 1996 or 1995 classes expire, they may  Leave the team.

    ??????????????? But these days, if you¡¯re not happy and can¡¯t win, you just change teams at will. The players are so proud of themselves, especially the young players. They want to wait, what if the team¡¯s luck in the next draft is unexpected?

    The reason why there are so few star-rated free agents is that teams rush to grab players after the lockout ends, and there are many cases where they give long-term contracts in order to grab stars.

    This led to more transactions after the start of the offseason, because some contracts were given too hastily, and players were very anxious in deciding where to go.

    So this summer, many teams are correcting the wrong signings they made in the panic during the lockout six months ago.

    On July 14, the SuperSonics made another move, sending Vladimir Stepania and a 2000 second-round pick to acquire backup point guard Travis Bays from the Pacers.  special.

    Travis Best, 27 years old, was selected with the 23rd overall pick in the first round of the 1995 class. He has been playing as a substitute. He has averaged 7.6 points, 3.3 assists and 1 steal per game in his career so far. He mainly focuses on defense and passing, and has a relatively comprehensive control ability.  Guard, he averaged 6.5 points, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals last season.

    Vladimir Stepanya, 213 cm, 124 kg, 23 years old, quasi-second-year player, averaged 15 minutes per game last season, scored 5.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1 block, a pure frame-protecting center, because of O'Neal  existence is relatively valuable these days.

    The Pacers' deal is not surprising, but the Pacers made a deal a few days ago that was quite surprising.

    On July 12, the Pacers sent Antonio Davis for Jonathan Bender, the No. 6 pick selected by the Magic.

    The Magic traded Joe Nathan Bender to the Raptors for Trajan Langton, the 12th overall pick in the first round, the Raptors' 2001 first-round pick, and Raptors small forward Reggie Slater.  .

    The Raptors sent Trajan Langton, the 12th overall pick in the first round, a 2001 first-round pick, and Reggie Slater to acquire Antonio Davis from the Pacers.

    Reggie Slater, 29 years old, was undrafted in 1992 and officially entered the NBA in 1994. He has played very well with the Raptors in the past three years, averaging 8.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. He is a very high-quality substitute small forward.

    This deal makes it difficult to see what Larry Bird is thinking.

    The Raptors have successively selected Carter and Odom, and are building a lineup around them. If they have the opportunity to get All-Star level insider Antonio Davis, of course they will strive for it.

    It¡¯s understandable that the Magic are in a mess, hoarding draft picks, hoarding outside rookies who are easier to play, and hoarding high-quality role players.

    But the Pacers dismantled the interior trio of the past many years!

    The Pacers acquired the 18-year-old talented high school power forward Jonathan Bender This rookie is very interesting. He rushed out to participate in the draft after graduating from high school and conquered the Magic with a free throw line dunk. The Magic selected this 18-year-old  , a talented inside man who is 211 centimeters tall. Then, after the draft, Jonathan Bender told the media that he did not want to play in the NBA and wanted to go to college.

    But because Jonathan Bender was excited to participate in the draft at the beginning, he did not take the relevant exams during his senior year of high school and was unable to go to college. He had to repeat his studies if he wanted to go to college, so he was forced to sign with the Magic.

    This matter has been spread for a long time. The Magic are not sure whether Jonathan Bender will successfully enter the NBA next season, so they simply choose to send him away.

    If you change teams, you may wait patiently and observe, but the Magic team is always so decisive.

    And Larry Bird completed the deal despite knowing this situation. I don¡¯t know if he saw that the high school students in recent years are too good and chose to take a chance.

    But within a few days, people knew why Larry Bird traded away Antonio Davis. After the Raptors traded for Antonio Davis, they reached an early extension for five years and $62 million.  contract, the contract will come into effect in the 01-02 season.

    Renewing the contract in advance prevents Antonio Davis from jumping out of his contract and entering the free market next summer. In the new season and next season, the Raptors can still enjoy Antonio Davis's cheap contract of only $5 million.

    Keeping the All-Star insider with a high salary seems to be a good choice, but Antonio Davis will be 31 years old at the beginning of the new season, and the Raptors' contract renewal is quite risky.

    It seems understandable that Larry Bird reluctantly broke up the double-Davis combination.

    After that, the backup point guard was traded to get the meat shield center Stepanya, who looked quite good.

    At this time, the Sonics sent away the "center to deal with O'Neal" and was criticized again.

    In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter what the Sonics are doing.In 2011, he signed Vernon Maxwell, the former starting guard of the Rockets during their two consecutive championships, with a salary of US$1.43 million!

    Vernon Maxwell, 34 years old, 193cm tall, averaged 17.2 points and 4.1 assists per game at his peak.

    He played 46 games with the Kings last season, averaging 10.7 points per game. He originally planned to join the 76ers, but the coach at his alma mater, the University of Florida, recommended him to play for the SuperSonics. Anyway, at the end of his career, he was not short of championships and just wanted to  Looking for a city with a better living environment to play basketball and enjoy basketball, this is the place.

    The media¡¯s comments Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t care what they say. They have made a list of 15 people after all this nonsense!

    Point Guards: Cassell, Travis Best, Vernon Maxwell.

    Shooting guards: Dell Curry, Ruben Patterson, Corey Benjamin.

    Small forward: Artest, James Posey.

    ? Power forward: Jason Williams, Lewis, Schrempf, Sam Perkins.

    Center: Ratliff, Ben Wallace.

    Zhang Hao looked at the 14 teammates who were living together

    ¡°Our management is still inexperienced, and the list of 15 people was just put together without considering the issue of flexible adjustments.

    But it¡¯s not bad. Posey can play the small forward and shooting guard positions, Schremf can play the three positions from small forward to center, Jia Dajun can play two interior positions, and Lewis can play two forward positions.  Many players in the team are at risk of injury, and most of them are veterans, which can be considered an advantage and so on.

    What to do with our attack!

    It¡¯s me who co-wrote Two Miai?  "

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Ben, how is it here?"

    "This house is too big!"

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this house bad?¡±

    "That's not the question. I have three people, my wife and my son. Would it be too luxurious to live here?"

    "It doesn't matter, I've talked about the price for you. It's very cheap, and there's a good kindergarten nearby"

    Speaking of this, Zhang Hao became angry!

    That shabby landlord charged him a lot of rent. When he heard that he was his teammate, he lowered the price to the same price as a large apartment in the city.

    As early as two days after the end of the offseason, Ben Wallace came to Seattle to complete the meeting. Among the three options of staying with the Lakers, going to the 76ers, or coming to the SuperSonics, Ben Wallace decisively  He chose to join the Sonics. His agent was Henry Thomas. After discussing issues such as playing time, he reached a verbal agreement.

    The signing was not officially announced until the Sonics trade and other matters were settled.

    After Ben Wallace officially signed the contract, he first came to Seattle to find a place to live. Originally, this was Henry Thomas's job, but when Zhang Hao saw that he could help, he took the initiative to take it over. His family has a rich Lolita, so what's the use?  You have to take your time to find a house.

    ¡°I signed a two-year contract for US$1,000 a month, with no penalty. When I no longer want to live in it, I can just cancel the lease Ben Wallace took a good tour of the house, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

    "Okay, okay, don't giggle. Your wife will be very happy and won't beat you."

    "Bai Li won't beat me, she's just a little more fierceahem, just a little stricter. Boss, you know, I'm more impulsive, so it's good for me that Baili is a little more strict."

    ""

    Being afraid of your wife can be so reasonable, Zhang Hao is convinced!

    "Okay, here is the key. The spare key is in that cabinet. I'm going back first."

    "Boss, do you want to train?"

    "how?"

    "Take me one!"

    "Are you ready to practice shooting?"

    "No, I practice boxing. I heard from Henry that you have a place to practice boxing at home."

    "Is our team really a basketball team?"

    "What is the problem?"

 Chapter 435 435. Then beat him until he takes the initiative to reason (7000 words, please vote for me)

    Time passed day by day, and on August 8, Zhang Hao received a system prompt that the sixth phase of the "Oppression and Defense Master" training mission was finally completed!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao has completed the sixth phase of the super-top training card: Pressure Defense Master. The intensive training has been completed. Next, he will enter the seventh phase of the training mission - the perfection phase, which is to be started.

    Note: After each stage of training task is started, at least 1 hour of continuous effective training must be completed every day. If it is interrupted, the training of this stage will be restarted.  "

    Unlike the previous top training cards of 666, the super top training cards of 999 have increased difficulty from the fourth stage to the sixth stage of intensive training.

    From this point on, training became boring and troublesome, focusing on details, all kinds of training details that Zhang Hao had never thought of before.

    But when you occasionally need to make such defensive moves during the game, you need to develop them into instincts in training.

    "The difficulty of practicing defense is really no worse than practicing offense! I want to try to complete the seventh phase of training before the start of the training camp. There are still nearly two months, so I should be able to do itat least I have to be proficient in completing the training tasks.  to the point.¡±

    Now it is difficult for Zhang Hao to judge the level of his own specific defense. He can only test it during the game. But he estimates that even if there is no "pressure defense" that is forced to reach a super-top level after all nine stages of training tasks are completed, it is just to put it into practice.  After all the training, you will be able to have a near-top single defense level.

    The training card, in addition to the big bonus at the end, is already super powerful simply by teaching him how to do the most effective training in the designated direction of the training card.

    Zhang Hao is now looking forward to the start of the new season more than any offseason in previous years. After practicing for so long, he is eager to test the results of his training through competition.

    But at the moment, the team still has a lot to do and must continue to quickly invest in pre-match preparations.

    Recently, Zhang Hao has been going to the Key Gymnasium in the morning to discuss the creation of the tactical system with the coaching staff.

    Compared with other coaching staffs, the Sonics coaching staff is more like a brand new entrepreneurial team. The veteran coach Silver Fox, who is over 60 years old, leads the team. Everyone puts forward ideas, and everyone discusses them together, and comes up with ideas based on the existing lineup

    During this period, Zhang Hao did not interrupt casually and basically listened.

    Listen more, watch more, and learn more. In this aspect, even Scott Collins, who has the weakest coaching ability on the coaching staff, is much better than him.

    He has tactical literacy and the ability to command on the spot, but in this aspect, he may not have gotten started yet and has a lot to learn.

    In the afternoon, it¡¯s defensive training.

    During this period, offensive training has been reduced, focusing on maintaining competitive status and polishing details. After dinner, we will train offensively for about two hours.

    The management has not been idle after the 15-man roster has been completed. Instead, it has entered a new busy state.

    It¡¯s true that everyone is alive together, but that doesn¡¯t mean everything is fine.

    After training camp, preseason until the trade deadline, transactions may occur at any time.

    As a brand new team, we have to build a new scouting network and relationship network.

    Investigate the status of each team and analyze the potential future mobility of players from other teams.

    Make predictions about your own team, which areas require the most trade, and purposefully explore potential trade possibilities.

    Larry Harris will regularly report these matters to Howard Schultz, and Howard Schultz will share the report with Zhang Hao, who only has a brief understanding of this aspect.

    Leave professional matters to professionals, such as drafting and digging out the treasures of the free market. There may not be many people who can rival Zhang.

    But when it comes to contract negotiations, salary structures, establishing good relationships with management of other teamsetc., Zhang Hao is no match for the management.

    Just like their team's signing this offseason, when Zhang Hao first came here, he thought it was basically impossible for them to sign someone in the free market. But after Larry Harris joined, he took a look at the team's current situation.  The contract, the contract to be submitted to the league to take effect, suddenly came up with a way to give Zhang a chance to introduce three free agents.

    The salary cap for the new season is US$38.31 million. Compared with the 1997-98 season, there is still an increase in income in the shortened season. Although it is small, it is still a slight increase compared to last season's salary cap of US$36.41 million.  The broadcast agreement came into effect.

    But he has a salary of US$17.14 million, a salary of US$11 million for Jason Williams, Ratliff has just completed his contract extension, as well as the bird rights of Schrempf and Sam Perkins, and Lewis's  Rookie contracts, rookie contracts for two centers Zhang Hao originally thought they would only sign a group of players this year.sp; After responding, Artest felt that something was wrong, but he didn't care. He was beaten and had to get his money back!

    Watching Artest go out towards the infirmary and disappear from sight, Ben Wallace, who had just kept a poker face, bared his teeth.

    Ben Wallace began to complain: "Boss! This rookie is so despicable! He can't beat me and bites my butt when I subdue him!"

    "How did you subdue him? How could you still get bitten on the butt? Oh, let me tell you why you kicked his butt just now. It was because you were taking revenge. You didn't see it, you didn't see it"

    ¡°????¡±

    "But even though I didn't see it, I'm really curious about what you guys did inside. I feel a little regretful. I should have watched you educate him just now. Ben, do it again? Let me appreciate how he bit your ass?"

    Ben Wallace doesn¡¯t even bother to check whether his butt is bitten and bleeding, and whether he is infected with rabies. What should he do if he really wants to beat up his boss?

    "Hold it! Why are you standing there?"

    Artest glanced at Zhang Hao's guardians on his left and right - Jia Dajun and Big Ben, and took the shopping bag handed over by the salesperson.

    Artest carried large and small bags and followed Zhang Hao and the guardians on his left and right. Seeing that the hands of the three people were empty, he was almost full of things, and he could only swallow his grievances and tears in his stomach.

    We arrived at a flagship store with two logos: ¡Ì and x, and were greeted by a manager-looking person.

    "Ron, put your things down and follow him in."

    "ah?"

    "Didn't you say that your shoes don't fit? I'll make you a custom-made pair of shoes with the latest technology insoles."

    "I¡­¡­"

    "Go quickly, don't waste my time, I have to buy a gift for my daughter."

    Artest, who had been aggrieved and sad just now, was now in an extremely complicated mood. He followed the store manager into the store, went up to the second floor to measure his feet, and did some basic tests.

    Zhang Hao felt the change in Artest's mood and was very satisfied.

    Give me a stick first, then a candy.

    A clerk organized the large and small bags that Artest left at the door, and another clerk took Zhang Hao and the three of them in to sit down and rest.

    Ben Wallace looked around and asked: "Boss, is this the brand you endorse?"

    "no."

    "But why are there all your posters here? And the logo of your English name?"

    ¡°This brand is mine, and I have exited a joint sub-brand with Nike.¡±

    ""

    You shouldn¡¯t ask!

    Ben Wallace feels that he still has to maintain the image of a cool guy, and he can't relax when his old teammate Jason Williams is around.

    Zhang Hao made a pair of shoes for Artest. It was a small thing. Giving him an insole was also a small thing.

    But after taking measurements and asking about the price, Artest silently hung the bags on his body when he returned to Zhang Hao and the others.

    After accompanying Zhang Hao to buy children¡¯s toys, he returned to the arena, put the things in Zhang Hao¡¯s car, and Artest prepared to leave.

    Zhang Hao thought of something and asked: "Ron, I heard that you can only train until three o'clock in the afternoon, but today you still delayed the training until the end. What's going on?"

    ¡°I found a job doing odd jobs.¡±

    "Working? I remember you withdrew 60% of your salary in advance."

    This time Artest didn¡¯t bite his tongue, he just smiled and said nothing.

    Zhang Hao didn't ask any more questions. When Artest left, Zhang Hao discovered that withdrew 60% of his salary, which was 840,000 US dollars. The only thing Americans can't escape is the tax bureau and death. Even if they take the tax money and trusteeship  After deducting 10% of his salary, he still got 380,000 to 390,000 US dollars. According to the urine of black players, he didn't even buy a car?

    After Artest left, Jason Williams, who was well-informed through various gossips, said: "I heard that he had many friends in New York asking him to borrow money. I guess he was almost bankrupt at the beginning of his career."

    "borrow?"

    "Yes, probably the kind that won't be returned."

    ""

    "He is now a star in the neighborhood where he grew up. Maybe he is saving face."

    "Well, that's pathetic."

    When Jason Williams and Ben Wallace heard this comment, they both nodded.

    "It would be one thing if Artest took the initiative to give those people money, but it would be another thing if those people came to borrow money. Those black people at the bottom of society have always borrowed money based on their ability.

    As for helping Artest?  Zhang Hao, Jia Dawei, and Big Ben did not have this idea.

    It is much better to let Artest feel the glory of humanity by himself than to help Artest.

    ???????????????? We just met, we haven¡¯t played together yet, so we can¡¯t even talk about being teammates.

    Zhang Hao gave some small gifts, which was what the boss should do. As for other things, he wasn¡¯t that concerned.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Time passed day by day, and Zhang Hao did not train with the rookie all day like the first day. He went to practice in the morning, went home to practice defense in the afternoon, and spent time with his wife and children in the evening. There was also a little loli who often came to grab food and drinks.  You can't evict her yet. Not to mention Meng, she is the landlord and threatens to raise the rent if she disagrees.

    During the following period, Zhang Hao got to know a lot about several new teammates.

    ?????? Artest is a little more cowardly when facing someone like him, but at other times it¡¯s the same as before. Maybe he loses a fight and loses face. Occasionally he will go to Ben Wallace.?Is there something wrong with their brains?  "

    "Why, something big happened I am!"

    "Aix, you can't say bad wordsfuxk"

    "What's wrongshxt"

    "Everyone in Zhang Hao's family who can talk is scolded!"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the league's top ten, or the top five in the league, every year there will be a TV station.

    There is also no team ranking. There are too many unexpected factors. Not every media can be as thick-skinned as ESPN in the future.

    Team evaluation usually lists several championship-level teams, ranks them among the championship-level teams, and divides into playoff-level teams, No. 1 pick-level teams, etc.

    But this year, Time Warner Cable Sports has created a "Championship Probability List" and "Regular Season Division Championship Probability List", which are actually the Eastern and Western Conference ranking prediction lists and the league-wide strength prediction list.

    The defending champion Spurs are ranked first in the league and first in the Eastern Conference. There is nothing wrong with this.

    The Lakers are ranked first in the Western Conference and second in the league. This ranking by Time Warner Cable Sports is also expected.

    But it took Zhang Hao a long time to find their SuperSonics team.

    Twelfth in the Western Conference!  Twenty-fifth in the league!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    On September 30, 1999, the SuperSonics officially announced that Zhang Hao would wear the No. 24 jersey for the new season.

    Coincidentally, on September 30th, the Atlanta Hawks announced the signing of Michael Jordan for $10 million a year. Jordan is back!

    Hawks star Lou Hudson attended the press conference for Jordan¡¯s joining and announced that he would give up the Hawks¡¯ retired No. 23 jersey to Jordan.

    At this time, Zhang Hao put on the No. 24 jersey and was immediately contacted by Jordan.

    What a coincidence, the Bulls announced the new season roster + training camp contract list today, and the jersey chosen by No. 1 pick Kobe Bryant is also No. 24!

    Kobe Bryant did not say that the No. 24 jersey was related to Jordan, but he said that his goal is to become the best player in the history of the Bulls.

    Zhang Hao originally refused to be interviewed, but Barkley came

    "Akers, are you ready to surpass Jordan when you change your No. 24 jersey?"

    "Mr. Buckley, that's not the case."

    "no?"

    "I didn't expect Mr. Jordan to come back. I changed the No. 24 jersey because we were ranked 25th this season. I wanted to know which 24 teams were better than us."

    "I believe you, you idiot!"

 Chapter 437 437. The fourth signed player is here!  (4000 words, please get a guaranteed monthly pass)

    If Zhang Hao hadn¡¯t said something similar when explaining why he wore the No. 8 jersey a few years ago, fans might have really believed it this time.

    There is one sentence in what Zhang Hao said that should be the truth - I didn't know Jordan suddenly made a comeback.

    There is really no news at all. After the collective bargaining agreement was reached, Jordan showed no signs of coming back in the shortened season.

    During the offseason, Jordan even disappeared.

    The Eagles announced Jordan's return and held a press conference before the start of training camp, which was very sudden.

    Even the management of other teams don¡¯t know about this. It¡¯s normal for Zhang Hao not to know.

    But if you think about it carefully, Zhang Hao's change of jersey No. 24 has nothing to do with whether Jordan comes back or not.

    Zhang Hao wants to surpass Jordan, what will happen if Jordan comes back or not?

    ¡°It¡¯s just that Jordan happened to be back, and this topic is extremely popular.

    But it¡¯s still not as high as the Bulls¡¯ new No. 1 pick, Kobe Bryant, who chose jersey No. 24 and said his goal is to become the best in team history.

    Originally, the Eagles played four games against the Bulls this year, but none of them were broadcast live in the United States. Not only was the game against the Bulls not broadcast live, the Eagles only had a total of four games broadcast live this season, one of the teams with the fewest live broadcasts.

    In the offseason, the Eagles traded away last season's second-defense player Mookie Blakelow, and also traded away 30-year-old star Steve Smith in exchange for draft picks, which they only used in the free market.  Jim Jackson was signed to a two-year contract with a salary of US$1.93 million, totaling US$4.26 million.

    Last season Jim Jackson lost his position on the 76ers. Although he won a championship ring, he averaged only 8.4 points per game and only 5.5 points per game in the playoffs.

    This is just to use the name of Jim Jackson's former Dallas 3J to perfunctory Atlanta fans.

    Even Mutombo, the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, has been put on the shelf by the Hawks.

    Obviously, the Eagles management was dissatisfied with their poor performance for the first time and sought changes.

    The direction of change is very simple. The 76ers have achieved such great success by relying on several years of bad performance. The double No. 1 pick combination of Iverson and Duncan is in full swing.

    Although there are unlucky examples like the Clippers, which gambler doesn¡¯t feel that he can definitely win the next game?

    The Eagles decisively started the bad mode.

    ¡° But now Jordan wants to join Of course the Eagles management will not refuse. If it¡¯s a mess, they can delay the time. One or two years, if there is no shortage of time, use Jordan to make money first.

    At this point, it looks like the Hawks traded away Mookie Blakelow and Steve Smith, traded away some role players, and freed up cap space to sign Jordan and Jim Jackson.

    Jim Jackson didn't play well last season, but he was still okay in the 1997-98 season. He is now 29 years old and in his prime. If Jordan hadn't come back, no one would have noticed him, but now he has become Jordan's  good helper.

    Coupled with Mutombo Although Jordan is already 36 and a half years old when he comes back this time, and there are doubts, there are still quite a few people who believe that Jordan will still return as the king.

    Since then, major TV stations have rushed to broadcast the four games between the Eagles and the Bulls. No one cares about the two games between the Sonics and the Eagles. Now they have both games.

    ¡­¡­

    The topic of Jordan's comeback has become the hottest topic at the moment.

    Zhang Hao originally thought that no one would bother him. During the media day, he was asked about Jordan and Hu Weidong. He felt that he could be more obscene.

    During the training camp, their Sonics team went very smoothly, and Zhang Hao also received good news-Jiangsu Blue Association and China Blue Association agreed to release him!

    With the help of Colangelo¡¯s connections, Hu Weidong joined the Suns on October 4th with a one-year base salary of US$650,000!

    According to the Suns, only the $150,000 part of this $650,000 contract is a guaranteed contract, and Hu Weidong can be waived before January 31, 2000 at the latest without paying the remaining salary.

    Zhang Hao successfully "signed" Hu Weidong and acquired four national team members!

    There are three reasons why this can be successful. First, Starbucks and the Blue Association have renewed their sponsorship agreement. The current sponsorship is until the end of the Olympic cycle in 2000, and now it has been renewed until 2004. Second, x sports will be the title of A, Hua  It cost a lot of money, and of course it was well spent.

    The current A-A is in the stage of rapid development. Although it will be spoiled by the Blue Association later, the development is very good during the period from the establishment of A-A to the reorganization into CBA.

    As for the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team, Zhang Hao has returned to the national team and attracted a lot of attention. He has just achieved third place in the world and won the 2000 Olympics.They've all been traded to Seattle now.  "

    "Oh, that's such a sad thing."

    It seems that because of Zhang Hao's calm expression, the female reporter surnamed Dong did not understand that Zhang Hao's tone had changed and continued to ask: "You have now come to a team ranked 25th. In such a team, do you feel  sad?"

    Zhang Hao couldn't get angry anymore, so he could only respond: "Yes, I'm sad. I can only come here to get a salary of 17.14 million. It's so sad."

    Zhang Hao was ready to continue to receive the other party's strange questions. Unexpectedly, the female reporter surnamed Dong exclaimed: "17.14 million? So much, RMB?"

    This surprised Zhang Hao, and he responded: "It's US dollars. Do you still think that I am miserable, so miserable that only money is left?"

    Zhang Hao really didn¡¯t expect that today¡¯s interview would be like this. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would just talk about his salary to shut up. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party didn¡¯t even know his salary.

    When playing in the World Championships last summer, some teammates on the national team said that they might encounter weird interviews, which might be too weird to understand. I didn¡¯t encounter them at that time, but now I have!

    The camera crew is about to collapse, this is a live broadcast!

    After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he sat down. The female reporter named Dong seemed to be so shocked that she forgot to continue the interview. Perhaps she did not expect that Zhang Hao would not be so miserable after leaving Los Angeles.

    Should it be cut off at this time or not?  The hosts in the domestic studios didn¡¯t know how to deal with it.

    This female reporter has had countless live broadcast accidents, but she still has work to do.

    Domestic athletes are generally used to it. They recognize this female reporter when they meet her. She recognizes everything she says and treats it as if she accidentally stepped on something dirty.

    Zhang Hao seemed to have endured it, and the host in the studio was ready to fight haha, but Zhang Hao complained about his salary, which actually confused this experienced female reporter.

    This can¡¯t be solved!

    Seeing the expressions of the camera crew, Zhang Hao had no choice but to feel the pain in Su Bingtian's balls when he was asked, "How will you run if you enter the finals?" and had to help wipe his butt.

    He stood up directly and stood in front of the female reporter surnamed Dong. The cameraman quickly adjusted the opportunity, and the female reporter surnamed Dong disappeared in an instant.

    "Coming back after a year off, I know that I will definitely encounter a lot of doubts. Leaving the Lakers and going to a rebuilding team is not a good choice in the eyes of many people, but for me, it is a very good choice.  Choice, I like my current team, I have a group of great teammates, they may not be that strong, but I will improve with them.

    Just like the justice of the law may be late but will not be absent, my time will be late by a year but will not be absent!  "

    After speaking, Zhang Hao glanced at the cameraman, who quickly cut off the live broadcast.

    In the apologetic eyes of the cameraman, Zhang Hao left directly.

    It¡¯s not that Zhang Hao doesn¡¯t want to continue to be polite, it¡¯s justthis is how the mission came!

    ¡­¡­

    "The NBA has entered the most chaotic situation. This era was opened by the special contract player Zhang Hao. He returned to the NBA after a year. Zhang Hao is burdened with expectations and doubts. A cross-era mission: the era of the gods has begun."

    In the evening, Zhang Hao took another look at the task, which was activated but had no goals or phased goals released. Although he accepted the domestic prime-time live broadcast in the morning, it was actually like that, which was very surprising.

    But what the female reporter said also allowed Zhang Hao to understand the views of some Chinese people. Maybe they didn't understand. After all, it only took a few years for the concept of "professional basketball" to be introduced into the country.

    But this is indeed the problem that Zhang is facing now - he has not played for a year, encountered doubts, and left the Lakers, which is now regarded as an irrational decision.

    He had devoted himself to what he wanted to do before and didn't think too much about it, but he knew that these situations existed objectively, but the female reporter's way of asking questions was a little weird.

    It¡¯s hard for people not to pay attention to other people¡¯s opinions, and the same goes for Zhang Hao. His mentality now is very different from that of 4 years ago.

    He tried to adjust his current thoughts, but after giving it a try, he decided to give up and not adjust.

    ¡°I just want to be the center of attention! I just want to be the strongest and greatest! First of all, let¡¯s start by breaking people¡¯s doubts about my strength after a year off!¡±

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

    "Akers, Brother Dong said that your popularity in China has increased because of the live broadcast the day before yesterday! Your co-branded shoes are all sold out!"

    Henry Thomas didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao¡¯s live broadcast accident to become popular in China!  Zhang Hao's popularity began to soar after a year of decline after not playing basketball!

    The soaring speed is actually faster than when playing ball before!

    "Of course it will rise. People in our country will not believe what state media reporters say. Most people will not believe those outrageous statements."

    "That's true. I went to China several times and realized that there is a huge difference in my perception. Ordinary people have higher cognitive abilities than ordinary people in the United States

    But you already knew that would increase your popularity?  Is this a reverse operation method of the imperial court, specifically to increase your popularity?  "

    ¡°Not really, it¡¯s just a coincidence.¡±

    While chatting, Zhang Hao and Henry Thomas came to the Key Stadium.

    Today is October 10th, the first game of the SuperSonics preseason.

    Henry Thomas is here today to talk about Ben Wallace¡¯s endorsement. Howard Schultz is not just a coffee seller, but also a gym brand. In the past two days, Ben Wallace¡¯s makeup photos have become popular on the Internet.  , many people discussed that Howard Schultz wanted to find Ben Wallace as the spokesperson of the gym.

    The endorsement fee is 200,000 US dollars a year, which is a lot of money. Henry Thomas is very active in every endorsement. The commission is 15-20 points.

    The process is quite cumbersome. The league must approve the application and prepare materials. For example, Ben Wallace is really popular on the Internet and has value as a gym spokesperson. He asked the NBA to give permission for the $200,000 endorsement.  You can get it for a fee.

    Who makes Howard Schultz the owner of the Sonics?

    By 9 o'clock in the morning, teammates arrived at the arena one after another. The Sonics did not sign a training camp contract this year, and the 15-man roster was already full.

    When the pre-match meeting ended and the preparation training phase entered, Zhang Hao walked into the training ground and the system prompt came.

    "The 1999-2000 NBA preseason is about to begin, and the player detection system has been turned on."

    "Sam Cassel, 30 years old, 191 cm, 87 kg, ability evaluation 88, offense 91, defense 73, passing 91, three-pointer 67, mid-range shot 94, layup 92"

    The strongest teammate, sharp offense, super mid-range shot, seriously underestimated in post-up play, top passing, not great in individual defense but excellent in assist defense.

    Cassel¡¯s player detection report is basically consistent with what Zhang Hao learned from past matches and training together.

    "Detrev Schrempf, 36 years old, 206 cm, 96 kg, ability evaluation 80, offense 84, defense 71, passing 86"

    The second best teammate, he has maintained his condition really well. He is very good at three-pointers, mid-range shots, and breakthrough layups on the offensive end. He can play from the 3rd to the 5th position. In the past 6 years in the SuperSonics, he has  Kemp mainly plays small forward, and his performance is even better than when he played power forward for the Pacers.

    In the past three seasons, Schrempf¡¯s performance has been stable, averaging 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game.

    Zhang Hao felt comfortable looking at the player detection reports of these two teammates.

    "However, Zhang Hao is a little bit pained in the back. Compared with the first three years of his career, there is a sense of gap.

    Although he has already prepared the psychological construction of his teammates who are not as strong as the Lakers. This is his own choice, but it is still a bit harmful to evaluate his ability.

    "Theo Ratliff, 26 years old, 208 cm, 106 kg, ability evaluation 76, offense 61, defense 93, blocks 98"

    "Ron Artest, 20 years old, 201 cm, 107 kg, ability evaluation 78, offense 75, defense 84, 79 three-pointers, 63 mid-range shots, 91 layups"

    "Ben Wallace, 25 years old, 206 cm (?), 109 kg, ability evaluation 73, offense 51, defense 89, blocks 95"

    "James Posey, 22 years old, 203 cm, 95 kg, ability evaluation 75, offense 71, defense 81"

    "Jason Williams, 31 years old, 206 cm, 109 kg, ability evaluation 73, offense 63, defense 79, rebounds 97"

    "Travis Best, 27 years old, 180 cm, 83 kg, ability evaluation 74, offense 69, defense 79"

    "Vernon Maxwell, 34 years old, 193 cm, 82 kg, ability evaluation 65, offense 61, defense 70"

    "Dell Curry, 35 years old, 193 cm, 93 kg, ability evaluation 72, 79 offense, 67 defense, 87 three-pointers"

    "Ruben Patterson, 24 years old, 196 cm, 102 kg, ability evaluation 76, offense 70, defense 83"

    ¡°Cory Benjamin, 22 years old, 198 cm, 91 kg, ability evaluation 67, advanced?, Supersonics fans also have a special "dark organization", which means "we don't believe in the light." They have leaders and organizations. Every time Zhang Hao comes here to play, they will find a way to ensure that from the time Zhang Hao enters the stadium to the time he leaves  , someone scolded Zhang Hao throughout the process, and the leader of that organization even made the news.

    But now, the fat leader of the organization is shirtless and has a big "x" tattooed on his chest!

    After the players entered the stadium, the live footage also showed the former leader of the Sonics fan base. The scene became agitated again, and everyone was cheering!

    Baron Davis on the opposite side was stunned!

    This is a superstar?  Is this the ceiling of human basketball talent?  Is this the super rookie king who made the NBA regret not directly putting him into the top 50 superstars after his rookie season after playing for 3 years?

    Sam Perkins, Schrempf, Ratliff and other old Sonics players were also a little confused at this moment. When they reached the finals, the fans at the scene were not as enthusiastic as Zhang Hao just walked into the stadium now!

    The camera on the big screen was shown to Zhang Hao again, and the staff ran up and gave the microphone to Zhang Hao's hand.

    Zhang Hao was not prepared to speak before the game. It was just a preseason game. He could say anything, but it was like this, so let¡¯s say something.

    After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao smiled: "I'm-back!"

    With just such a sentence, the scene was boiling again!

 Chapter 439 439. A dozen N modes are activated!  (4000 words, please get a guaranteed monthly pass)

    After the carnival after entering the venue, the concerns of the fans at the scene still exist.

    What will happen to Zhang Hao¡¯s performance?

    No one dares to draw a conclusion on this.

    However, as long as Zhang Hao can still perform at an All-Star level after a year's rest, like Jordan at the end of the 1994-95 season, Sonics fans will feel very satisfied.

    Zhang Hao is only 22 years old and has more than two months to turn 23. Most rookies are entering the NBA at this age these days. How many rookies have All-Star ability?

    Even in the golden era of the past few years, Grant Hill, Zhang Hao, and Duncan were all-stars when they entered the NBA.

    The SuperSonics players are very excited now because of the enthusiasm of the fans, and on the other side, the Clippers players are equally motivated.

    ??Wouldn¡¯t it be great if you could give Zhang Hao a shot?

    Especially seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s popularity, the young players of the Clippers are even more excited. They want to use Zhang Hao to become famous!

    "Francis of the 1999 class has an 83 ability rating. If Kobe hadn't chosen to be the No. 1 pick this year, he would have been the strongest outside rookie season in the 1999 class!

    Michael Olowokandi of the 1998 class has an ability evaluation of 80, which is not bad!  Last season, he averaged 28.4 minutes, 8.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. He really has comprehensive skills and solid basic skills It's confusing.

    Derrick Anderson in the 1997 class, eh, this guy was selected by the Cavaliers Oh, by the way, the Cavaliers have also begun to give up their iron-blooded style of play and become a money-splitting boy. It seems to be directly using the Clippers' salary.  Space, using Anderson in exchange for the Clippers' air.

    Piakowski, who averaged 3 million per year in the summer with no increase, was signed back by Baylor for 5 years and 15 million.

    Jeff McGinnis, a second-round pick in the 1996 class, took advantage of the injury to starter Strickland in the shortened season and played 6 good games with the Wizards. We also fought for it, but they wanted to play in Los Angeles.

    Troy Hudson, undrafted in the 1997 class, Baylor has a good vision this time. With a salary of 490,000, he averaged 7 points and 4 assists per game.

    Te'lon Naseby, undrafted in the 1998 class, Baylor has a good way of picking up undrafted players. He averaged double figures in points per game in his rookie year. Last season, he averaged 10.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. He is a very high-quality small forward.

    And this, Maurice Taylor, a talented power forward in the class of 1997, averaged 16.8 points per game as a sophomore last season

    its not right!  The Clippers' lineup is talented and well-matched. It's about to rise!

    But why do I just feel like they can¡¯t get up?  "

    After looking at the Clippers¡¯ overall player detection report, Zhang Hao thought of the Hawks and Cavaliers.

    After seeing the failure of the Heat, the chief representative team of the Iron-Blooded Legion, in addition to the Hawks giving up the Iron-blooded style of play, the Cavaliers also gave up and decisively messed up, spreading beans and throwing out powerful players in exchange for draft picks, or simply looking for those who  Teams with space should free up salary space and reduce spending.

    The Clippers used their salary space to buy Derrick Anderson.

    Before the game started, Zhang Hao and Piakowsky said hello. The teammates who won the championship together still have a basis of affection.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Cassell, Ruben Patterson, Schrempf, Zhang Hao and Ratliff.

    The Clippers sent Francis, Derrick Anderson, Telon Naseby, Maurice Taylor, and Olowokandi.

    From the emotions of his teammates, Zhang Hao felt the pressure from his teammates.

    Indeed, the Clippers' lineup this year is really not bad. Francis performed extremely well in the summer league. Among the rookies in the 1999 class, his performance on the outside is second only to the violent Kobe Bryant, and he can basically reach the performance of Allen Iverson in the 1996 class.  level.

    Olowokandi is good, but it is only compared to the "next big dream" boasted by the draft picks and "can dominate the center position by entering the NBA like Duncan". His strength is not bad.

    It¡¯s normal to have such pressure. If it weren¡¯t for Zhang Hao, their lineup would most likely not be as strong as their opponent.

    Soon, at 7:30, the game started.

    The referee blew the whistle to start the game. Zhang Hao jumped high and narrowly defeated Olowokandi to win the jump ball. The SuperSonics attacked first!

    Zhang Hao was not surprised when he almost lost the jump ball. Olowokandi's physical fitness is definitely top-notch for the center position. Zhang Hao quickly got off the ball after landing.

    Cassel passed the ball very steadily. Zhang Hao came to the left side of the three-second zone to receive the ball, but at this time Olowokandi had already retreated to the basket. Maurice Taylor and Francis moved in advance. Zhang Hao just received the ball, and the two  The pincer attack is in place!

    This made Zhang Hao a little uncomfortable, so he attacked in advance!  Now it is no longer a violation to attack in advance!

    Maurice Taylor, a strong and active short power forward, 118 kg.After moving in place, he quickly interfered with Maurice Taylor. Faced with the huge tonnage of 118 kilograms, Reuben Patterson did not have any fear and bravely carried it up.

    The opportunity on the court was fleeting, and Francis immediately chose to continue his breakthrough, carrying Cassel into the basket and throwing

    Francis¡¯s throw, which could not really charge forward, was slapped down by Ratliff!

    Protecting rebounds is one of the most important training goals during the Sonics training camp. Zhang Hao actively took back the ball that was blocked by Ratliff.

    There is no need to counterattack. Similar to Iverson, Francis really has no lack of defensive enthusiasm, but Francis's defensive awareness is much worse than Iverson. But at this time, Francis' enthusiasm blocked Zhang Hao from starting a fast break and taking the ball.  Pass to Casselslow again.

    However, if you want to win this season, it is necessary to slow down and suppress the rhythm. After the training camp started, Zhang Hao often strengthened the slow-tempo style of play in team training to let himself get used to it as soon as possible.

    ??At least psychologically, he is very willing to accept a slow-paced style of play.

    Just as Zhang Hao felt that the Clippers were really on the rise, the Clippers players made adjustments on the defensive end.

    As soon as Cassel arrived in the frontcourt, Derek Anderson and Francis directly attacked and let Ruben Patterson go!

    Cassell distributed the ball, and Reuben Patterson took the ball and shot a three-pointer but missed. Zhang Hao, Schrempf, and Ratliff were stuck by Olowokandi and Maurice Taylor. Olowokan  Dee collected the defensive rebound.

    The Clippers¡¯ defensive strategy is very clear.

    Clippers coach Chris Ford has high expectations for this year. Playing against the SuperSonics, that is, playing against Zhang Hao, he really wants to use this game to give his players confidence, and he is quite well prepared defensively.

    It's not that difficult. In the SuperSonics lineup, Zhang Hao and Schrempf are the only two people with three-point ability. They just need to be more decisive in contracting the attack. The rules that allow early attack are originally proposed by each team to deal with Zhang Hao.  from.

    When the Clippers attacked, Francis received instructions from the head coach on the sidelines when Olowokandi advanced.

    Francis is not an independent player. After the situation in the last round and the instructions of the coach, he did not continue to be greedy for singles. After reaching the front court, he lobbed the ball to Olowokandi who was leaning on Ratliff.

    Olowokandi played in isolation, took a step back, turned around, reversed around, reached the top of the arc in the reasonable collision zone, and made a low layuphit!

    This step is just like Olajuwon, smooth and gorgeous!

    Ratliff, a great first- and second-defense man, was beaten up by Olowokandi and lost his temper!

    When the Sonics attacked, Cassell advanced to the frontcourt and did not immediately go to the three-point line. Instead, he waited for Zhang Hao to come over and passed the ball to Zhang Hao.

    Since his family knew what he was doing, Cassell began to actively run around to find opportunities to catch and shoot, and directed his teammates to move positions.

    Their offense can really only point to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao needs to open up to drive the whole team to a certain extent. Of course, if they want to win, they can only rely on defense in most cases, but even so, they cannot give up offense.  , you must do your best within limited conditions!

    Zhang Hao also understands the importance of this. There is pressure, but more of it is motivation!

    Waiting for his teammates to move, Zhang Hao observed the opponent's defensive movement and felt that the opportunity had come. He made a beautiful back turn and wiped out Teilon Naseby who was following the defense. Zhang Hao rushed straight from the middle!

    Maurice Taylor and Francis attacked very quickly. Telon Naseby, who was passed by, also actively moved in the direction of Schrempf, interfering with the pass and the ball. Derek Anderson switched defenses to keep an eye on Cassel.  The Clippers tried to force Zhang Hao to pass the ball to Ruben Patterson or Ratliff, who was supported by Olowokandi at the basket.

    After allowing early flanking, the defense becomes more diverse!

    Zhang Hao did not choose to pass the ball, and did not even consider asking his teammates to respond. After entering the free throw line, he immediately grabbed the ball, raised his arms, and withstood Maurice Taylor who was coming up from the flank. He took two steps into the basket and faced Olowo.  Candy took off, pulled the lever and threw hit the board!

    An amazing one against four!

 Chapter 440 440. NBA Cheng Yaojin (4000 words, please vote for me)

    The Clippers players already feel that Francis' breakthrough is very overwhelming. In their view, Francis is already invincible in this area.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s breakthrough was so unreasonable!

    In terms of speed alone, Zhang Hao is not as fast as Francis, but Francis is a defender and Zhang Hao is a power forward.

    The Clippers' defense has tactical coordination. It sticks closely to the outside to prevent Zhang Hao from shooting directly, Olowokandi protects the frame, Maurice Taylor handles the impact, and Francis attacks from a double flank.

    But when Zhang Hao rushed up like that, raised his arms and took three big steps, Francis stopped suddenly when he was one meter away from Zhang Hao. He didn't dare to go up at all. Maurice Taylor's blocking defense had no effect.

    Not to mention defeating Zhang Hao Ti Zhen's confidence, and a few more times, the defense confidence will be beaten by Zhang Hao. It seems that he can only pinch in advance instead of pinching in the cooperation.

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Clippers attack.

    The Clippers are still preparing to continue attacking the basket. Olowokandi's singles are the Clippers' most stable offensive option in the early stages.

    However, this time it was Zhang Hao who received the defense from the basket.

    This makes Olowokandi even more excited!

    He also wants to get rid of his reputation as the number one pick in parallel imports. In this game, what could be easier to become famous than defeating Zhang Hao?

    Olowokandi pressed towards Zhang Hao, but was held up by Zhang Hao's arm, but he couldn't press him in!

    From the perspective of body shape, Zhang Hao, who is more well-proportioned and taller, does not look as strong as Ratliff, but he can't actually press in!

    Olowokandi didn¡¯t stop to ask for the ball. Just like that, he leaned on Zhang Hao to ask for the ball half a step to the right of the three-second zone.

    When Zhang Hao made an upward movement when Olowokandi caught the ball, he took the initiative to push forward. This small detail of footwork and upper body exertion made Scott Collins and Silver Fox on the sidelines  My eyes light up!

    They were the coaches who paid the most attention to Zhang Hao during his rookie contract period. It was obvious that Zhang Hao¡¯s handling of defensive details this time was much better than before the one-year break!

    However, even if Zhang Hao's defense has been greatly improved and his one-on-one back-up defense is top-notch, and he is slightly better at back-up play than Ratliff, who is better at assisting defense, he will still be defeated by Olowokandi's spiral.  He turned around and was shaken out of position.

    Olowokandi turned around and came under the basket, leaned forward, and hit a backhand layup before Ratliff could cover up!

    Zhang Hao and Ratliff assisted in the defense. This was the strategy they came up with to defend Olowokandi when they retreated. Unexpectedly, they could not defend against the second defense and the first one!

    The fans at the scene were all surprised - "Is the parallel import number one pick going to come out this year?"

    Olowokandi played these two goals like Olajuwon at his peak!  Extremely strong!

    When the Sonics attacked, Zhang Hao did not catch the ball from the top arc, but came to the high position on the right side of the three-second zone.

    Zhang Hao changed his position and attack method, just because he didn't want the opponent to be more careless this time because he couldn't guard the ball just now, but the opponent still ignored it and flanked him immediately, even before he received the ball.  The location has been moved.

    Zhang Hao scored the ball, and Cassell received the ball from the left side of the free throw line where he had made a shot The opportunity was good, but he was a little unlucky. The ball came out of the frame, and Ratliff rushed to grab it to no avail.

    It¡¯s time for the Clippers to attack again. Olowokandi gets more and more excited as he plays. He turns around and hits the baseline from close range while facing the frame in singles!

    The SuperSonics called a timeout!

    8 to 6, the SuperSonics took the lead!

    The SuperSonics players and fans at the scene were almost furious.

    It¡¯s not that the Sonics didn¡¯t play well. Zhang Hao scored 4 points and Cassel scored 2 points. They made 3 of 5 in the start, so there was nothing wrong with them.

    Zhang Hao showed the strength that fans expected.

    Before the start of the season, the media analyzed that their Sonics team is expected to be a very good defensive team. The team defense demonstrated by the players is also good. The players are capable and motivated, and their cooperation is average. However, the newly formed team is still  Preseason, not bad.

    But Olowokandi single-handedly stopped their SuperSonics team!

    SuperSonics fans and most of the players actually don't know much about Olowokandi. After all, he only played for one year, and he didn't have any masterpieces in his rookie season.  Hell, you can't even do it in the NBA when you average 10+10 per game. Of course, averaging 10+10 per game is already very good, but Olowokandi didn't reach it, and before the start of his rookie season, Olowokandi boasted like Duncan.

    In this case, even the Sonics fans who noticed that Olowokandi's statistics were not that bad did not take Olowokandi to heart.

    A good part of the Sonics teamnbsp;How can there be such a player who suddenly becomes useless?

    After carefully looking at Olowokandi¡¯s player detection report, Zhang Hao discovered an evaluation point that he had not noticed before ¨C physical strength.

    Olowokandi¡¯s physical strength is only 80

    A 38-year-old veteran like Sam Perkins still has 82 physical strength!

    In the original time and space, when Yao Ming entered the NBA, it happened to be the time when Kwame Brown won the best No. 1 pick in history. At that time, people discovered that Olowokandi was quite good. He played like a superstar at the beginning of every game.  Like, but usually only a few rounds. On average, there are about three rounds at the beginning of each game where the singles are very fierce, and there is almost no scoring after that. Even the awareness of eating cakes is very poor, at most 10 or so in each game.  point.

    But he is still better than Kwame Brown, and his defensive rebound protection is pretty good - although it is based on a situation where even the defender cannot see.

    But at least he looks better than Kwame Brown.

    That period was the period when domestic fans were most interested in the NBA. Domestic commentators gave NBA players many nice nicknames.

    Therefore, Olowokandi also has a nickname-Cheng Yaojin.

    Zhang Hao remembered this nickname just after seeing the system prompt.

    The Clippers have many players from last season who have stayed on the team. Originally, they and Clippers coach Chris Ford had high expectations for Olowokandi. Although they were disappointed countless times last season, Olowokandi started the game.  His singles play is so good that he can stir up trouble in the paint when playing against O'Neal. As long as Olowokandi feels normal at the start, he looks like he is invincible.

    During this period, which teammate would not have expectations?

    Especially after an offseason, they expected Olowokandi to improve his physical strength, but, obviously, he did not.

    Francis was a little dumbfounded. He thought Olowokandi was very powerful, very powerful. He thought that Olowokandi just failed to adapt during his rookie season, because in the team training match he saw, Olowokandi was so fierce.  BeepAlthough it only takes a few rounds.

    What was even more dumbfounded were the players on the Sonics team. At this time, all they could think of was Zhang Hao's words, "That's just him, don't worry about him."

    ???????? Did you predict that the opponent would only be strong for a few rounds?

    Just now, Zhang Hao's teammates were very concerned about Zhang Hao's one-on-one defense against Olowokandi. Although Ben Wallace and Ratliff followed Zhang Hao's instructions to limit the flank cuts and prepare to shrink the center, they were worried and saw Olowokandi.  The speed and concentration of Vaucandi's movementsevery aspect is amazing!

    Most fans can't understand so many details, especially when watching the scene. The singles only lasted for a few seconds and passed by in a blink of an eye. What the fans saw was that Zhang Hao defended Olowokandi after the timeout and gave Olowokandi the ball.  Lowokandi a big hat!

    The referee urged the Clippers to continue attacking. Maurice Taylor sent the ball to Francis and specifically shouted "Do it yourself."

    Francis put away his confused mentality and focused on attacking. When he received the ball, he found that the opponent's defensive formation had changed.

    Ratliff guarded the basket, Ben Wallace guarded Maurice Taylor, Reuben Patterson guarded Te'lon Naseby, and Cassel followed the running Derek Anderson.

    Zhang Hao stayed one step inside the top arc!

    It was surprising, but Francis decisively chose to force himself!

    Zhang Hao moved in the direction of Francis' breakthrough. Before Francis was about to make contact with Zhang Hao, he quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction!

    Zhang Hao judged Francis's change of direction, which was too direct, and judged the timing, and fiercely confronted him!

    Francis also subconsciously raised his elbow when Zhang Hao came up against him. The two collided with each other. Zhang Hao definitely couldn't raise his arm in defense. Both of them were knocked back There were fouls on both sides of the ball. Fouls on both sides?  No, it may be blown in the international arena, but this is the NBA. This kind of confrontation is generally regarded as a reasonable confrontation, because hitting someone with the ball is more suspicious, and now NBA officials have a tendency to encourage offense.

    Francis was surprised at Zhang Hao's defensive awareness at this moment, but Zhang Hao was very focused. When he stopped, he started to make moves, stretched out his hand, and was the first to touch the ball that Francis shot and bounced, and started to counterattack!

    Francis was intercepted!  He hurriedly chased after him, but he actually failed to catch up!  The distance was getting wider and wider by Zhang Hao!

    In the horrified eyes of Francis, Zhang Hao stole and counterattacked with a left-hand tomahawk chop to score two points!

    ¡°Isolated and helpless (gold) trigger, the wearing player¡¯s lateral movement speed +5 when preventing a breakthrough from the top arc, and starts at the fastest speed¡±

    "Triggered by riding alone (gold), the wearing player has surpassed the other 9 players on the field, and the speed is +10"

    Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket with his left hand. After landing, it was as if he had just hit the basket. His expression did not change at all, and he turned around and retreated.

    It¡¯s coming, it¡¯s really coming, Zhang Hao¡¯s god-level counterattack!

    The fans at the scene were all excited!

    Before, it was Zhang Hao who fought back like this when he beat them, but now it¡¯s them who beat their opponents!

    There is another thing that fans are excited about - after Zhang Hao defended Olowokandi in one-on-one defense, he then defended Francis one-on-one on the outside!

    He is still the gentleman who bullies newbies when he sees them!

    As for the fact that Olowokandi is no longer a rookie Zhang Hao didn't play last season, so he was considered a rookie.

    Francis ran back to the backcourt to receive the serve. The image of Zhang Hao's fast break just now lingered in his mind. He really tried his best to chase it, but the distance was getting wider and wider!

    Also, Zhang Hao¡¯s lateral movement speed when he was defending just now was much faster than Francis¡¯ lateral movement speed based on Zhang Hao¡¯s previous rounds.

    This blow cannot defeat Francis, he is even more excited now.

    Receiving the serve and advancing to the frontcourt, sure enough, it was Zhang Hao who was guarding the top arc.

    Waiting for his teammates to get into position, Francis continues to charge forward!  One step position change within the top arc!

    Sure enough, Zhang Hao¡¯s lateral movement speed is ridiculously fast!  It's not that Francis has never encountered such a fast opponent, but he can directly crush those opponents with his body.

    But Francis was already prepared. When he was about to be blocked by Zhang Hao after changing direction, he changed direction again Zhang Hao kept up with the speed again!

    This time, Zhang Hao was more experienced in defense. When they were about to confront each other, he already reached out and completed the steal again!

    Francis was intercepted, staggered two steps, turned around, and didn't even want to chase him. He ran two steps out of the three-point line and stopped. He looked at the player on the opposite side who was as tall as a center and looked like lightning amidst the crazy cheers of the fans in the audience.  He rushed to the opposite basket and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand Francis, who was full of confidence just now and thought that he was just too careless in the last round, now his confidence is a bit cracked.

    At this time, thinking back to the past two meetings where breakthroughs were blocked, Francis felt suffocated just thinking about it.

    Once again, he ran back to the backcourt to receive the serve and came outside the three-point line. Seeing the expressionless Zhang Hao who was guarding the top arc, Francis felt like he was being covered!  This feeling is like being locked in a cave, with the entrance blocked by falling rocks

    Playing in a real NBA-level game for the first time, Francis was originally full of confidence and felt that he was going to make a name for himself. Before the game, head coach Chris Ford said that he would perform well when playing against the SuperSonics and encountering Zhang Hao, so watch  Fans across the country saw their performance, and he was really excited at that time.

    But now

    At this time, Maurice Taylor noticed Francis' uneasiness and quickly leaned on Ben Wallace to ask for the ball. Francis immediately passed the ball as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

    Ben Wallace¡¯s current defense is at a first-rate level, which is very good, but it is a bit difficult to defend one-on-one against Maurice Taylor, who has comprehensive skills, a good shot, and cross-athlete abilities but does not suffer a loss against Maurice Taylor, who has good flexibility.

    But the Sonics didn¡¯t help with defense, so they let Ben Wallace defend one-on-one. In the preseason, training was the main thing.

    It¡¯s rare to meet an insider like Maurice Taylor who is at the first-class level and is also a skilled player, so Ben Wallace can practice more.

    As expected, Maurice Taylor turned to the baseline and hit the board from close range.

    There is a certain amount of luck, but this is based on the strength of Maurice Taylor. As a second-year player who focuses on singles and shoots 46.1% from the field, a skilled power forward who averages 16.8 points per game is something.

    But this time, the Clippers scored after being defended by Zhang Hao for three consecutive rounds. The SuperSonics still led 12-10.

    It was time for the Sonics to attack again. Zhang Hao keenly discovered that Olowokandi only cared about rebounds now, and his defense was just for show. He didn't care about his defender. So, Zhang Hao caught the ball with his back in the high post and turned around.  After the breakthrough, after Olowokandi moved his position, Zhang Hao distributed the ball to Ratliff, who took a step forward and scored with a one-handed dunk.

    It was the Clippers' turn to attack. Maurice Taylor missed a single this time. Zhang Hao stepped in to grab the defensive rebound. Ben Wallace and Reuben Patterson came down quickly, and Zhang Hao pushed for a counterattack.

    Clippers?It's theirs!

    Although this opponent is just like that, and it is only a pre-season game, the opponent has been beaten so much that they don¡¯t want to continue the game

    But even in the preseason, who else can perform like Zhang Hao

    Entering the break, watching Ben Wallace and Artest helping Zhang Hao wipe off his sweat and put on training clothes, the fans at the scene guessed that Zhang Hao would not play in the next time, and they all shouted that they already like it very much.  Zhang Hao's various nicknames, I hope Zhang Hao can continue to play.

    After Zhang Hao put on his training uniform, he faced the moving camera and put his index finger in front of his mouth. The fans gradually calmed down, but the cheers and applause still did not stop.

    Although I really want to continue watching Zhang Hao¡¯s performance, this has just begun. There will be many opportunities in the future, so don¡¯t rush it!

    The winner has been decided in the first quarterit doesn't matter whether the winner is decided or not. Not long after the first quarter, Scott Collins' goal became to let Zhang Hao continue to adapt to the game. After all, he has not played a formal game in a year.  , next, is to try various combinations of rotation lineups when Zhang Hao rests.

    After the start of the second quarter, Dell Curry, who had not been replaced, moved next to Zhang Hao.

    "Akers, didn't you say that you are just a little stronger than before the break?"

    "That's right, a little bit stronger than that."

    "You have improved your basic skills and defense, just a little bit? You just used a step-back three-pointer!"

    "I already know that! It's just that the basic skills of stepping back and three-pointers were not that good before. I didn't develop other skills in the past year. I just practiced what I know well, and there is no other progress."

    Dell Curry looked at Zhang Hao and said "Oh", trying to control his emotions and avoid hitting people mainly because he couldn't beat him!

    ¡­¡­

    In the following game time, the SuperSonics failed to continue to widen the point difference. On the contrary, when the game was over, they only beat the Clippers by 9 points, 99-90.

    ?That is, in the next three quarters of the game, the Sonics only scored 61 points.

    The defense was not that good either. The Clippers scored 75 points in the next three quarters, mainly because Scott Collins was constantly adjusting the lineup. After all, in the preseason, whenever a lineup is confirmed to be effective or certain to be effective,  After a certain style of play is effective against the opponent, Scott Collins will continue to try other combinations, which makes the players quite tired. Although they cooperate with the adjustment, there will still be situations where they become impatient and cannot defend well.  , but this is a necessary process to become a strong defensive team.

    In addition to the Sonics' own problems, Francis did not have the restrictions of Zhang Hao and did play well. Ruben Patterson couldn't keep up with his speed, James Posey couldn't keep up with his speed and strength, Cassel and Tra  Wes Best, these two people, Scott Collins did not consider letting them guard Francis at all. The two are the guards that Francis most often encounters who are neither as fast nor as strong as him, Maxwell and Dell Curry.  He is old, and not old is probably enough. However, Artest's defense against Francis is somewhat effective.

    But Scott Collins will not consider this option for the time being. Artest will only turn 20 next month, and the Clippers are not an opponent that needs to be taken seriously. There is no need for Artest's knees and ankles to be destroyed by Francis.

    However, the experience gained through various adjustments in the next three quarters is only useful to Zhang Hao and the SuperSonics team. It has no effect on the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV, and they don¡¯t care how the Sonics play in the next three quarters.  , doesn¡¯t care how talented Francis is¡­

    What everyone cares about is Zhang Hao¡¯s 21 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks in the first quarter.

    Even if this is just a preseason game, it is still a real NBA game. Zhang Hao has produced data in one quarter that other stars may not be able to achieve in a game!

    Olowokandi and Francis, two high-ranking rookies were beaten by Zhang Hao again!

    He is back!  Come back with stronger strength!

 Chapter 442 442. This is going into the sewer (10,000 words, please vote for me)

    I'm back!

    What Zhang Hao said before the preseason game against the Clippers has become the hottest topic in the basketball world.

    The entire basketball world attaches great importance to Zhang Hao's return.

    Even if Zhang Hao's condition is not as good as in the 97-98 season, even if he will get back to his condition later, even if it will be better in the future, as long as there is a problem with Zhang Hao's condition now, then the media will be happy.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s performance was too cruel!

    From an offensive point of view, it seems that there is no obvious difference between Zhang Hao's playing style and that before he took a year off. It is still clean, simple and rough, but it is obviously stronger!

    In this year, Zhang Hao has become more and more proficient in the opportunities he was already good at.

    ??This, although many people expected his condition to decline, not many people were surprised that his basic skills have become better.

    What¡¯s really surprising is Zhang Hao¡¯s defense!

    Great progress!

    Zhang Hao returns to NBA with stronger strength!

    Zhang Hao has almost dominated the sports-related websites on the Internet. Newspapers and TV stations are also discussing how Zhang Hao will perform in the new season.

    It is rare for a preseason game to cause such a sensation.

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t care about public opinion. It was just a preseason game. So what if he played well?  After entering the learning mode and starting the game review, he was more concerned about the characteristics and problems exposed by his teammates in the first game.

    The mode of the season has begun.

    The morning after the game against the Clippers, there was a lot of noise from the outside world. In the Key Arena, Zhang Hao was analyzing every detail of last night's game against the Clippers to the coaching staff and teammates.

    After reviewing the game that they hadn¡¯t seen for a long time, coaches and players who had never played with Zhang Hao were dumbfounded.

    ??Participated in the same game, why is this guy so good?

    A preseason game!  Moreover, Zhang Hao was actually willing to analyze it seriously in the last three quarters of the preseason, and he actually found so many noteworthy points for him.

    Silver Fox looked at the reactions of his colleagues on the coaching staff and felt happy!

    After the game analysis, Zhang Hao was called to a coaching staff meeting by Doug Collins.

    Doug Collins said to Zhang Hao: "Akers, please explain in detail the characteristics and current status of your teammates that you analyzed, and we will compare our opinions and better arrange more suitable arrangements for everyone.  role, adjust the tactical system.¡±

    "Theo and Ben are both centers who are better at assisting defense than single defense. Both of their single defense abilities have upper limits. Ben has strength beyond his tonnage, but his height does not allow him that much room for improvement in single defense.  He's not going to be the top one-on-one defender.

    Theo¡¯s height and wingspan are good enough, but his strength is not good and he can easily be beaten from behind.

    Both have excellent mobility, assisting defense, switching defense, pick-and-roll defense, and shot-blocking abilities.

    "However, Theo's explosive power, speed, etc. are not as good as Ben's, and his progress is not as fast as Ben's. In the past month, Ben's progress has been much faster than Theo's.  "

    These two centers are a headache for the coaching staff. From the current point of view, the characteristics of the two are too similar.

    As Zhang Hao said, in the opinion of the coaching staff, one of the two has better height and wingspan, the other has stronger explosiveness and athletic ability, and both are defensive masters who focus on assisting defense.

    Scott Collins understood what Zhang Hao meant and added: "Ben is healthier. Theo misses more than a dozen games due to injury every year. Under high competition, Theo cannot always stay healthy like Ben. Theo is too  He¡¯s lost weight, but Theo can¡¯t put on weight because he would lose his current mobility, and Ben is a year and a half younger than Theo.¡±

    The other coaches understood what Zhang Hao and Scott Collins meant and did not continue to answer the conversation. Doug Collins asked Zhang Hao to continue analyzing the others.

    Doug Collins added at this time: "We will rotate them when appropriate based on their defensive differences."

    "Mr. Perkins is now only left with the role of catching and shooting at fixed points. He no longer has the ability to score independently. He has nothing but accurate three-point shooting from both sides. He can't even guarantee the success rate of cutting for layups. But his ability to guide his teammates  Good ability."

    The coaches are nodding. Indeed, Sam Perkins has declined seriously this year and is 38 years old, but the team also needs such players.

    "Mr. Schrempf is in good condition. He is very comprehensive. He is proficient in three-pointers, mid-range shots, and breakthroughs. He plays calmly and is organized and advanced."Fight together, throw and shoot hit!

    Campbell can clearly feel that compared to the 1997-98 season, Zhang Hao's layup details and use of body shape conditions in shots under the basket are much better!

    Iverson was extremely excited when he saw this scene. What he wanted was Zhang Hao who became stronger like this as his opponent!

    If Zhang Hao becomes weaker because of a year off, then he can win, which would be difficult for him to accept!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The hottest time of the year is here. Friends, please pay attention to preventing heatstroke. Xiaofeng is indeed much weaker. He has reached his age. He took the subway to go to the company today and suffered from heatstroke. Fortunately, he recovered in the afternoon.

 Chapter 443 443. Actually I want to play overtime (6500 words, please vote for me!)

    Iverson received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. He had already expected that Zhang Hao was guarding one step inside the top arc.

    Facing Zhang Hao¡¯s defense, Iverson did not force himself, passing the ball to Eric Snow who moved to the free throw line and started running without the ball.

    During the preseason, Zhang Hao's significant improvement in single defense has already attracted the attention of top NBA players.

    Unlike ordinary players who feel that this is an exaggerated description by the media, the top players all feel that what the media says is true, and Zhang Hao's defense has improved significantly.

    In their view, this kind of thing is too normal for Zhang Hao.

    Even if Zhang Hao comes back from a year's rest, he will not become weaker in their opinion, and will most likely become stronger.

    However, the defensive intensity of the rest of the Sonics was beyond the 76ers' expectations!

    When Artest, a rookie, switched defense to Duncan, he fought with Duncan without fear.

    With Ratliff helping to defend Duncan, and Ruben Patterson also coming in to defend Iverson, it was difficult for the 76ers' two stars to connect with the ball.

    However, the current 76ers team is no longer the season when the two No. 1 picks came together. Snow made a prompt decision and drove to the basket. Cassel could not guard him. Ratliff, who originally covered the basket and helped defend Duncan's cut,  One step outside the reasonable collision area, Snow dropped the basket, and Campbell caught the ball for a layup Zhang Hao quickly came in from the right baseline, and Campbell's layup was almost blocked!

    Fortunately, Campbell made a move to push upward during a layup, and the ball avoided Zhang Hao's hand and fell into the basket.

    This goal really has nothing to do with how good Campbell¡¯s offensive awareness is, it¡¯s just a coincidence.

    Zhang Hao's team actually focuses on defense, and it has been so rough in defense from the beginning. Even if the 76ers speculated that the Sonics can only rely on defense as the basis for the game, the 76ers' top five starters still feel uncomfortable.

    The SuperSonics offense exceeded its quota, Zhang Hao continued to attack, and Cassell passed the ball to Zhang Hao.

    In this slow-paced, high-intensity game, Cassel can still ensure the stability of the pass, but the 76ers' defense began to change. Zhang Hao continued to cut in and was flanked, passing the ball, and Ratliff came from close range.  The shot was interfered with by Duncan's assisting defense. Zhang Hao rushed to grab the ball to no avail, and Campbell grabbed the defensive rebound.

    When Zhang Hao rushed to grab the ball, the rest of the Sonics team had already retreated.

    With this little detail, the 76ers are even more certain. The Sonics are going to defend hard. The Sonics' offensive style is also very simple. Cassell assists, and Zhang Hao mainly attacks + passes.

    I just want to compete with the personal abilities of superstars!

    Iverson and Duncan are not afraid, but they still want to try to start with team offense. In the round just now, Snow did a good job.

    But this time the 76ers wanted to repeat the successful offense in the previous round. When Snow broke through the free throw line and passed to Campbell, he was intercepted by Artest who rushed back!

    Campbell used a foul in time to prevent Artest from passing the ball to Zhang Hao, preventing Zhang Hao from counterattacking.

    Four of the five players on the 76ers' court are defensive masters. To be honest, Iverson can be considered a defensive master given his size. They are all impressed by the defensive awareness Artest just showed.  Surprised by the execution.

    He has good physical fitness, excellent explosive power, and is not afraid of confrontation He even has the awareness of this blocking tactic!

    In addition to being young, his basic skills are not good enough, and his experience is not enough. Artest¡¯s defensive talent, even as an opponent, cannot be denied by the 76ers players.

    It was time for the Sonics to attack again. As the 76ers expected, the Sonics took advantage of Zhang Hao to death. Zhang Hao turned around and distributed the ball. Reuben Patterson cut from the baseline to catch the ball and layup, resulting in a quick layup.  Duncan, who shrank back, fouled and went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

    If the contraction starts earlier, the ball can be defended. Duncan made a judgment when Reuben Patterson made a free throw.

    As the game progressed, Iverson and Duncan became more and more surprised by Zhang Hao's performance. Zhang Hao didn't seem to have changed much compared to before he took a year off. His playing style was still the same, but every offensive method became more difficult to defend.  .

    He has better breakthrough details, better back-up skills, and more solid retreat skills In the past, Duncan's one-on-one defense could give Zhang Hao greater restrictions, but now it is difficult to limit them. He can only rely on Campbell under the basket or George on the flanks.  -Lynch can help defend better.

    Of course, this is Zhang Hao's main attack on Duncan's relatively weak single defense, that is, high-post breakthroughs. No matter how good Duncan's defense is and no matter how violent his physical fitness, he is still a true center. He works hard to defend, but the defense  Now Zhang Hao, who is even better in the high post position, is still unable to guard against him.

    Tried itIt has no impact on the card position at all, which is even more incredible!

    George Lynch is also guarding Zhang Hao from receiving the ball, and the 76ers leave it to Campbell under the basket.

    Zhang Hao pointed in the air. Dell Curry didn't have time to think too much. The 5-second serve violation was about to come. He lobbed the ball towards Zhang Hao. It was very high. Zhang Hao could only jump up to catch the ball, and he really jumped up!

    Duncan quickly took a step away. If he was stepped on his feet would hurt!

    This guy has an iron elbow and is invincible. Maybe he also has iron feet?

    But after Zhang Hao landed, Duncan immediately stuck to him.

    George Lynch also immediately moved his position, blocking the passing space between Dell Curry and Zhang Hao who trotted away from Snow after serving.

    Zhang Hao had no intention of passing the ball. He turned around to protect the ball. He ducked away from Iverson who was trying to steal the ball. He dribbled the ball and moved closer to the three-point line.

    The 10-second countdown started the moment Zhang Hao received the ball. The 76ers' defense needs to be very comprehensive, guarding the basket and cutting in, guarding the mid-range of Cassell and Dell Curry, and guarding the ball well.  The key to Dell Curry's three-pointer is to guard Zhang Hao.

    The fans at the scene were constantly making noise, trying to interfere with the performance of Sonics players.

    ?? 76ers fans are already worried tonight. They seem to be even more nervous than the 76ers players on the court.

    But as time passes by, the defense the 76ers have to do becomes easier and simpler.

    With 3 seconds left, Snow decisively let go of Cassel on the other side of the three-second zone and flanked Zhang Hao. George Lynch also let go of Dell Curry and flanked Zhang Hao.

    At this time, Zhang Hao suddenly leaned towards Iverson on the left, opened up the space, retreated, and retreated from the three-point line. On the way back, he grabbed the ball and pulled up to face the defense of Duncan and George Lynch.  , three-point shot

    "Step-back expert (bronze trigger), the player Zhang Hao wearing this step-off shot will not be affected by the step-back, and will take off at the best bounce speed"

    "Beheading (gold), the wearing player Zhang Hao entered a hot state with this shot"

    If it was George Lynch who flanked Zhang Hao with Duncan at the beginning, and if Iverson had a better awareness of covering up defense, it was Iverson who went to cover up Dell Curry after serving, what if

    It's a pity that Iverson failed to affect Zhang Hao's retreat at all. Zhang Hao pushed away the path blocked by Iverson with one push. He retreated quickly and jumped quickly. Iverson failed to give Duncan and George Lynch  Create a real opportunity to interfere with Zhang Hao's three-point shot!

    Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer by retreating!

    The moment the ball fell into the basket, the whistle sounded at the end of the game!

    You can enter here too!

    Iverson, Duncan, George Lynch, and Snow, who were surrounded by Zhang Hao and blocked from the circle by the three people, all had their hearts broken!

    "I just want to play an overtime game. Tell me, why are you forcing me?"

 Chapter 444 444. Return of the King (5500 words, please vote for me)

    Iverson wants to jump up and hit this bastard in the knee!

    This guy is a devil!

    Or did I influence you so that you didn¡¯t have a chance to play overtime, and I still have to say sorry to you?

    Duncan decisively pulled the furious Iverson away. As he walked, he rubbed Iverson's head to comfort himselfno, to comfort Iverson.

    With this goal, all the SuperSonics players were stunned and got a single buzzer!

    There is a chance to pass, but if he doesn¡¯t pass, Zhang Hao will make the pass himself.

    Still invested!

    Until the referee signaled to the technical table that the goal was valid, and the technical table confirmed that the Sonics defeated the 76ers 97-96, the Sonics players rushed onto the court like crazy.

    Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene booed again, but after the boos, they had no choice but to leave.

    Iverson was slapped on the head by Duncan and walked to the entrance of the player tunnel. He looked back at Zhang Hao, who was surrounded by his teammates, and the reporters who were looking for opportunities to interview the players

    Let¡¯s take another look at the data comparison on the big screen

    Iverson scored 35 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, while Duncan scored 26 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

    The two of them have performed very well, but Zhang Hao

    ? 16 of 30 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, plus 10 of 12 free throws, a surge of 46 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks!

    Iverson is very sure that Zhang Hao¡¯s comprehensive offensive skills have not changed much from the 97-98 season.

    He originally thought that Zhang Hao would expand his technology in more than a year In fact, it would be better to prevent it. What can be done in one year?  Without competition practice, developing new technologies behind closed doors will of course be of great help in expanding technology in the future, but if this is the case, then Zhang Hao may not be better this season than in the 97-98 season, at most he will be similar to that time.  In that case, Iverson doesn't feel that he is worse than Zhang Hao.

    But Zhang Hao avoided this and really focused on the techniques he knew, the techniques that were actually used in the game and were clearly powerful. He used this year to strengthen them to the point where Iverson felt that he had reached the extreme!

    Zhang Hao still played very simply in the game, and it was obvious that Zhang Hao definitely wanted to play as simple as possible.

    If you don¡¯t have enough strength, you will be able to defend yourself with a simple style of play, but the skills that Zhang Hao is good at have now reached the point where it is almost impossible to limit one-on-one!

    This is the key to the Sonics' broken lineup being able to outperform the Cavaliers and Eagles in the past few years!

    "There are actually people as determined and patient as him. If it were me, even if you gave me money to practice the skills I know for a year, I have to train. If I couldn't persist, I would definitely practice something else"

    However, it was only the first time they played against each other. When the 76ers encountered the SuperSonics' style of play, with Zhang Hao, they could only respond passively and rely on stronger strength to crush them, but they did not crush them.  Just get by.

    After adjusting his mentality, Iverson began to struggleshould he train hard?

    This guy is outrageous!  This guy spent more than a year practicing his skills to an almost perfect level, and he will definitely continue to expand his skills

    He Ai 58 is already 24 years old. If he doesn¡¯t train well, his growth period will be over

    On the other side, Zhang Hao first accepted an interview with the imperial court. Unfortunately, it was the female reporter again.

    Who made tonight the day for Hu Weidong¡¯s debut?  The games between their SuperSonics and the defending champion 76ers were not narrated live, but by domestic studio narration.

    It¡¯s not that the domestic media pays more attention to Hu Weidong than Zhang, but that Hu Weidong has been purely cultivated by the country from the beginning of his exposure to basketball to the present, and the meaning is different.

    Zhang Hao agrees with the explanation given by his distant uncle Zhang Weiping.

    If the national team wants to truly develop, it cannot rely on just a few of their players playing in the NBA. In fact, there are not many players playing in the NBA for the European powerhouses. Generally, it is the core of the national team who need stronger personal abilities to go to the NBA.  Play ball.

    At this time, a player from the domestic league is needed to prove himself on the world stage and make the domestic sports community believe that the domestic league can produce great players.

    Yao Ming originally played this role in time and space, but the national team wanted him to play some meaningless games, and the Rockets had problems with their training direction He had just arrived after playing in the NBA for 7 years.  It collapsed in a year.

    Maybe Zhang Hao is not enough to bring enough changes to domestic basketball, Wang Zhizhi is not enough, Yao Ming is not enough, and Hu Weidong is not enough But little by little, Zhang Hao believes that it will bring about changes.

    &nbsThe battle between the two drew a lot of attention. Although Zhang Hao had already stolen most of the limelight, the duel between the two still sparked heated discussions after the game.

    The duel between Kobe and Brand, a pair of college alumni, also attracted a certain amount of attention.

    Kobe Bryant scored 37 points in his debut, and McGrady's 13 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists beat Carter's 31 points, Brand's 18 points, 10 rebounds and Odom's 14 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. The Bulls beat 102.  95 defeated the Raptors.

    Carter has made great progress in his second year, which is surprising. In terms of skills and game status, Carter has made a qualitative leap compared to his rookie season.

    But Kobe¡¯s ability to enter the NBA is too strong!  It's obviously a slightly higher level than Carter and Brand.

    Carter is at the best team level, and Kobe's performance is directly at the best team level!

    The game between the Bulls and the Raptors is the most discussed game besides the SuperSonics' opener, but what Zhang Hao cares about is not this game, but the showdown between the Suns and the Trail Blazers.

    Zhang Hao has received a system prompt last night. Hu Weidong played 20 minutes last night and scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. The Suns had 1 point, 13 rebounds and 12 assists from Kidd, and Anfernee Hardaway had 26 points and 4 rebounds.  With 5 assists and 2 steals, he defeated the Trail Blazers 113-106.

    But Zhang Hao still wanted to know the details of the game. He had been busy this morning and had to prioritize things. When he got home, Zhang Hao had time to search for news.

    Most media reports are related to Kidd, Anfernee Hardaway, Clifford Robinson, Sabonis, Nash, Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith, etc., Zhang Hao  After browsing the Internet for a while, I found a relatively detailed analysis of Chinese defender Hu Weidong from the Arizona Daily's sports section.

    The rest of the United States doesn¡¯t pay much attention to Hu Weidong, an older rookie from China who is about to turn 30, but the Arizona Daily News definitely pays more attention to the local team.

    Hu Weidong has been evaluated as having high football intelligence, outstanding skills, excellent athletic ability, highly enjoyable games, and the ability to become the main substitute for the Suns' back line.

    When Suns coach Scott Skiles was asked about the performance of this year's new players in an interview, he also mentioned Hu Weidong, but except for the local media in Arizona, there was nothing in the media elsewhere in the United States.  People care.

    Hu Weidong didn't get many performance opportunities in the preseason. From what Zhang Hao learned, it was Hu Weidong's mature skills and sophisticated playing style. The Suns had no plans to do more inspections. Every game in the preseason was  There were about 10 minutes of playing time in the first half, and the second half was spent inspecting other players.

    Zhang Hao is still very worried. He brought Hu Weidong to the United States, and he brought him to the United States when Hu Weidong was at his peak. If he was on the bench for a year his sin would be great.

    Fortunately, in the opening game, Hu Weidong performed quite well.

    It¡¯s difficult to be a starter, but as a substitute, led by Kidd and Anfernee Hardaway, Hu Weidong¡¯s performance was okay.

    "Brother Hu is training in the NBA for a year this year, and next year's Olympic Games he is so beautiful, so beautiful"

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao scored a 40+ triple-double in his first comeback, which really triggered a strong response among NBA stars. The first game day was okay. The stars who were preparing for the game at the time may not know that Zhang Hao got a 40+ triple-double.

    But on the second match day, in the first game of the season between the Lakers and Clippers in the same city, O'Neal scored 48 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists and 7 blocks. The Lakers defeated the Clippers 122-97 and won their first victory of the season.

    ??Looking at O'Neal's posture, he really wanted to achieve a 40+ block triple-double, but he was only 3 blocks away from completing it.

    "Obviously, O'Neal, who is about to turn 28, has entered the peak period of his career and the most brutal moment. Zhang Hao's season-high score in the first game was broken by O'Neal more than 20 hours later.

    In the first game of the season between the Hawks and the Hornets, Jordan returned with 36 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. In addition to Mutombo's 13 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Jim Jackson's 20 points and 6 assists, the Hawks finished with 36 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.  They narrowly defeated the Hornets 98-97 and won their first win of the season.

    Karl Malone, Garnett, Grant Hill and other stars also performed well in the opening game.

    Some media commented that Zhang Hao's debut brought more intense pressure to other stars. With the strength shown by Zhang Hao in his debut, coupled with the SuperSonics' lineup configuration, Zhang Hao's data this year is bound to be very fierce. No star will do so.  I want to be overwhelmed by others!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 445 445. Competition between the Twin Towers of Remy Martin (11,000 words, please vote for me!)

    The SuperSonics returned home and faced the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks on November 4th.

    The Mavericks are about to change their owners, and it¡¯s already on the agenda.

    Dallas entertainment tycoon Mark Cuban will spend $300 million to buy the Mavericks.

    Zhang Hao was very curious when he saw this news. Is it true that good coaches are not suitable for him to be general managers, and good coaches who are not suitable for being general managers have a son who has good business ability as general manager?

    Silver Fox is definitely an excellent coach. He already won the best coach in the 1994-95 season. Although his son Larry Harris is not a top coach, he has outstanding contract negotiation skills and salary space control ability. As long as he is shown  Given the opportunity to display his abilities, this front office staff member, who will be known as the "most economical general manager" in the future, has no worries about finding a job.

    Mavericks head coach Don Nelson, his son is Donny Nelson, the Mavericks executive vice president and general manager and vice president of business operations.

    The Mavericks have been making money in the past five years, including the shortened season. In 1992, Donnie Nelson, who was only 30 years old, joined the Mavericks as the assistant president of business operations and assistant general manager. In just two years, he built the "Dallas 3j" team.  "The gimmick, coupled with the subsequent collapse of 3j, he also found the topic of operations. In two years, he turned the Mavericks from losses to profits. In 1996, he also invited his father to join as the general manager and head coach. In 1998, he officially became the  Mavericks Vice President and Vice President of Business Operations.

    He owns a team that makes money every year, but the owner of the Mavericks is still going bankrupt. The reason is that the Internet industry he invested in exploded, and he was unlucky enough to have all the dozen Internet companies he invested in

    At this time, Nelson Jr. helped the Mavericks owner who was about to become the former boss. In the past two years, Nelson Jr. sorted out the salary space through transactions, used Eddie Jones as the main bargaining chip, and took away some junk contracts.  His father, Nelson, also took a fancy to Nowitzki, a German genius, and traded him back. He also traded a high-ranking pick for a low-ranking pick to save salary and sign him.

    Now, the Mavericks have three core players: Nowitzki, Finley, and Van Exel, as well as Gary Trent, Damon Jones, Sean Bradley, and Eric Strick.  Lang, Robert Parker, Cedric Ceballos, Greg Buckner and many other high-quality role players can be used as transaction chips and can also build a team around Nowitzki.

    With such a good lineup, the Mavericks only have a market value of US$240 million, but they were sold for a high price of US$300 million.

    In 1997, when the owner of the Mavericks was still very rich, he invested 160 million US dollars. Together with the sponsor American Airlines and the local finance, the three parties invested a total of 300 million US dollars to build the future largest new arena in the NBA. It was put into use in 2001. The owner of the Mavericks also  He sold his shares for a high price of US$220 million.

    Many NBA owners buy teams because of their hobbies and dreams when they were young, such as Lakers owner Jerry Buss, Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen, and SuperSonics owner Howard Schultz  .

    Mark Cuban, the new owner of the Mavericks who will officially buy the team as early as January next year, is undoubtedly one of them.

    The characteristic of these people is that they are willing to spend money.

    The Mavericks now have the strength to compete in the playoffs, but from the preseason games and the opening game, it can be seen that the Mavericks are very eye-catching "gentleman with reduced athletic ability" Dirk Nowitzki and "Jordan's successor"  "Michael Finlay and "Crazy" Nick Van Exel didn't get along.

    Without Nowitzki, Van Exel, Finley, and Eddie Jones' three outside shots were quite competitive, but they just couldn't make the playoffs.

    Last season, Nowitzki was still in the adaptation period, and the Mavericks were still only competitive but could not make the playoffs. This was okay, but this year, Nowitzki has improved rapidly, scoring 17 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block in the opening game.  , the output is stable, and he already has the strength of a first-class scoring forward.

    But by this time, Van Exel's style of play was not so compatible with Nowitzki and Finley, both of whom were singles players.

    At 7:10 pm, players from both teams entered the Key Stadium.

    Before the game, Zhang Hao chatted with Ceballos and Van Exel.

    Ceballos has really become a homeless man. He has changed many teams in the past few years, but Zhang Hao can still feel the pride of Ceballos, that fearless leader.

    Van Exel¡¯s current situation is not good either, and he is dissatisfied that he has been reduced to a false starter.

    However, my former teammate Robert Pike, who I was not very familiar with, has finally accepted his fate. He is an honest role player and no longer cares about his star performance for half a season in the 1995-96 season. However, it is only because he is old enough to accept his fate.  Became the actual main point guard of the Mavericks, and Van Exelnbsp; On November 26, the SuperSonics faced the Clippers at home in the last of three games in four days.

    Being beaten by the Pacers, the Sonics players looked like they were risking their lives when they beat the Clippers. Looking at their desperate attitude, some people thought they were ushering in another team from Los Angeles.

    This is the impact of Zhang Hao - if you lose the game, you must take revenge on the next opponent. You have to decide whether you can beat the opponent or not, and you must have a desperate posture.

    With 24 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocks, Zhang Haohao scored his 6th triple-double of the season. The Sonics slaughtered the Clippers 96-75 and won their 10th victory of the season!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After playing the game against the Clippers, the Sonics got two days of rest and a day of rest in Seattle. On the 28th, the Sonics came to Phoenix.

    Originally, this was just a game between an underdog team led by an ordinary superstar and a championship-level team led by a superstar with both strength and popularity. The attention would not be low, but it would not be particularly high either.

    But tomorrow the Sonics will play against the Suns, and the attention will be exaggerated!

    The Lakers have played 14 games, with 12 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference. On the 30th, the Lakers will play the Clippers in an away game next door. In a clutch game, O'Neal will compete for the best player of the month.  In the case of players, it is basically impossible to lose.

    In the past week, the Lakers played 4 games, 4 games in 5 days, and achieved 3 wins and 1 loss. O'Neal averaged 29 points, 14 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 4.5 blocks per game. His performance was so good!  The Lakers did not play in the last two days of this week, and O'Neal has become the favorite for Player of the Week in advance.

    At this time, the focus of attention came to Zhang Hao.

    The SuperSonics have 2 wins and 1 loss in the first three games this week. If they lose the last game against the Suns, O'Neal will most likely win the Player of the Week. Coupled with the advantage of record, O'Neal will win the Player of the Month.  It's a stable thing to put pressure on Zhang Hao.

    Although the SuperSonics started with 10 wins and 3 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference, beating the Trail Blazers, there is a very obvious gap between the strength shown and the other top four teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences.

    It can be seen that Zhang Hao has tried his best in the beginning, averaging 31.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.6 blocks per game, shooting 52.8% from the field and 37.7% from the three-point range.

    But even so, as long as the Suns perform stably, I don¡¯t know what kind of magical performance Zhang Hao will have to perform for the Sonics to defeat the Suns, one of the three major championship teams in the Western Conference.

    If the Sonics beat the Pacers, it would be okay to say that even if they lose the last game, it won't matter. But in the game between the Sonics and the Pacers, the Sonics' second game back to back, except for Zhang Hao, even  Cassel scored only 9 points.

    Now, the situation is basically clear. In the distance competition between the "former Remy Martin Twin Towers" after Zhang Hao's comeback, O'Neal is going to win!  O'Neal will beat Zhang Hao to win the Player of the Month award in the first game month!

 Chapter 446 446. The probability is actually very high (4000 words, please vote for me)

    Arriving at the hotel in Phoenix at 11 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hao went to the apartment rented by Hu Weidong as scheduled.

    "Haozi, you're here, please come in, please come in This is your sister-in-law Yu Hui."

    "Hello, brother Hu, hello, sister-in-law"

    "This kid is more handsome than he looks on TV. What would you like to drink, tea, coffee or something?"

    This adjective has a real sense of age. Zhang Hao responded: "Sister-in-law, just pour me a glass of juice."

    After chatting for a while, Zhang Hao asked: "Brother Hu, are you used to it in the NBA?"

    "The players in the NBA are so strong, and the team is more professional than I imagined, especially the team doctors. They are so good. They even pointed out to me the impact of every detail of my power movements on my body. Together with the trainer,  After research, tell me how to adjust to avoid fouls and other problems to the greatest extent"

    ¡°The Suns¡¯ team doctors are very good, and our team is also in contact with the people from FAA.¡±

    "Really? I don't even know. Thank you so much for recommending me to the Suns"

    We had lunch at Hu Weidong¡¯s house and talked about playing in the NBA. There wasn¡¯t much to talk about. After lunch, Zhang Hao returned to the hotel.

    Hu Weidong played as a backup shooting guard for the Suns. He performed very well and established a firm foothold. Zhang Hao has already received many life-span bonuses, more than Wang Zhizhi's, which is an unexpected surprise.

    In 14 games, Hu Weidong played more than 15 minutes in 11 games, 10 of which lasted more than 20 minutes. He averaged 20.5 minutes per game, scoring 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks. At his peak, Hu Weidong became a  An important part of the Suns' defensive line.

    This made Zhang Hao regret not calling Hu Weidong to their team But the situation at that time was not suitable. At Hu Weidong's age, it is definitely more suitable to go to a stable team, whether it is stable bad or stable strong  , are better than going to a team that is rebuilding and needs to risk its life to win.

    And Zhang Hao was just drooling looking at Hu Weidong's statistics. Hu Weidong was able to play so well in the Suns, which had a brisk and flexible offense. But when he came to the SuperSonics, his style of play didn't match at all.

    ¡­¡­

    "What do you think of Sanpao's performance in the NBA?"

    "Brother Hu's performance is very good. I'm happy for him No, no, no, it's not all my fault. I just recommended him to go to the Suns. He relied on his performance in trial training, training camp and  With my performance in the preseason, I earned playing time."

    "Have you ever thought about partnering with Sanpao in the future?"

    "Do you have any ideas about partnering with Brother Hu? We will partner again next September."

    "Tonight you are going to play against each other in the NBA. This should be your first time playing against each other. When you played against Sanpao before, you gave Sanpao a hot pot. Do you have any ideas to repeat it?"

    "It would be great if there is a chance to match up, but the two of us are not in the same position, but I will try my best to block more shots for Brother Hu in the same way, and express my deepest blessing for him to enter the NBA"

    On the morning of the 29th, Zhang Hao followed the team to the home court of the Suns.

    After arriving at the arena and before the pre-match meeting, Zhang Hao accepted an exclusive interview with Chaotingtai.

    "Uncle, why isn't that aunt here to interview me this time?"

    "Auntie Hahahaha, your mouth is getting more and more vicious. She wants to take advantage of your popularity, be bound to you, and become your exclusive reporter, but you don't care about the relationship behind her at all. I didn't expect that.  .¡±

    ¡°I wish her good luck, I think she will be able to find her destined son What is the connection behind that aunt?¡±

    "It's hard to say."

    "Then let's not talk about this. Will you still lead the team in next year's Olympics?"

    "Yes, what's wrong?"

    "Can our men's basketball team not stay at the Olympics? I'll pay to rent a resort."

    "Of course not. We are a country and a big team, how can we go out alone? Haozi, you don't have enough political consciousness!"

    "I read the news and found that the Olympic Village in Sydney was badly repaired. It was still near a smelly ditch. The ditch was filled with soil. Even drainage was a problem."

    "No way! Our men's basketball team can't do anything special. Is it possible that the entire Olympic team will follow you and move out of the Olympic Village?"

    "Should I invite the entire Olympic team to come with me? There must be hundreds of people, right? I'll probably book a big hotel and it'll be about the same."

    "¡­¡­impossible!"

    Zhang Hao is a bit confused. He has discovered that except for the 2008 Olympic Games, the infrastructure and other aspects of other Olympic Games are very poor. Not many people have noticed this these days. This is because of the dissemination of information.?The defense is average, supported by Kidd on the outside, Clifford Robinson on the inside, and Luke Longley on the bench.

    ?????????????? Rebounding is average, and Kidd is the best at rebounding.

    The Sonics didn¡¯t make any changes in their playing style tonight, just like Larry Brown¡¯s team and the Heat¡¯s current team. Even if they are tough, they can only be tough.

    Before the game, Zhang Hao and Hu Weidong accepted photo requests from domestic reporters on the sidelines. Soon, the two teams devoted themselves to their preparations.

    The fans at the scene have been booing Zhang Hao since he entered the stadium. In the 1997 and 1998 playoffs, the Lakers defeated the Suns, and the hatred was concentrated on Zhang Hao's side.

    Soon, under the unruly bragging from Barkley, the game was about to begin.

    Zhang Hao was applying magnesium powder when the system prompt came!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao is only 4 assists shy of averaging a triple-double in the first 13 games of the new season. The second phase of the series of missions, Return of the King: Legendary Prelude, has been triggered."

    ¡°Legendary Prologue: The Second Phase of the Return of the King mission.

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to get at least 14 assists in the next game against the Suns.

    Reward: Special card: as long as you are determined enough.

    As long as you are determined enough: The host can use this special card in a game against Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant will enter the "Desperate" mode, and the only goal when getting the ball is to shoot.  (Note, worth 60 days of life.)"

    "Legendary prologue, the name of the task is good, goal, 14 assists Yes, even if I have 0 points and 0 rebounds tonight, my points and rebounds per game can still reach the standard. I am just short of 14 assists. This is the reward  What the hell? Did Kobe, who was almost perfect when he entered the NBA, use this and he scored 81 points?"

    ¡­¡­

    At 6:58, the two teams started.

    The Suns sent out a starting combination of Kidd, Anfernee Hardaway, Rodney Rogers, Clifford Robinson, and Gugliotta.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Cassell, Ruben Patterson, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ratliff.

    During the opening game, I was excited and didn¡¯t feel much about the pressure brought by the 76ers. A few days ago, I played the Pacers on the second day of back-to-back games. I was tired and didn¡¯t pay much attention to the pressure.

    The SuperSonics have played 13 games this season. The most stressful thing is when they play the Jazz. Without outside shooters, they basically have no ability to resist.

    But when we played against the Suns today and saw the opposing lineup after taking the field, SuperSonics players, even Zhang Hao, were under tremendous pressure.

    Fortunately, Zhang Hao¡¯s calm face calmed down his teammates.

    But when the Suns saw the SuperSonics players on the court, and then looked at the sidelines, the pressure was not small.

    Although the Sonics averaged only 92.3 points per game in the first 13 games, they conceded an average of 86 points per game!  At the beginning of the season, the SuperSonics showed the most troublesome characteristic for top teams in the playoffs - a defensive team.

    Everyone knows that in the middle and late seasons of the season, the Sonics will not be able to maintain their current ranking of third in the Western Conference. It may be difficult to enter the playoffs, but once they enter the playoffs, especially after entering the season in the sixth to eighth positions.  In the game, for the upper-level teams, they can no longer go crazy.

    Look at the Heat, who were defeated by the Knicks in the first round for two consecutive years. Now even though they are ranked third in the Eastern Conference, they are still "expelled" from the ranks of championship-level teams by the media and fans.

    When such a team has a player like Zhang Hao, it is even more terrifying!

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Zhang Hao easily won the jump ball from Gugliotta's head, and the SuperSonics attacked first!

    Zhang Hao came down immediately after landing, received a steady long pass from Cassel, attracted a double attack, distributed the ball, and Reuben Patterson cut in from the wing and hit a throw!

    If the Suns fall into a positional battle, with Kidd on the outside, Anfernee Hardaway playing good defense, Clifford Robinson up front covering the mid-range, and Gugliotta under the basket, that would be okay, but  They really can't defend against fast breaks.

    But just after Ruben Patterson hit a layup, Gugliotta, who rushed back, received the ball and served quickly. Kidd received the ball and passed the ball long, and Anfernee Hardaway received the ball and avoided it like an elf.  Kai shrank back to cover the defense and hit a jump layup!

 Chapter 447 447. I have surrounded you!  (11,000 words, please vote monthly)

    Grabbing defensive rebounds to instigate a counterattack is a style of play developed by Lithuanian center Sabonis after he lost his athletic ability due to a leg injury. It is quite powerful.

    He also suggested that all centers on teams that can counterattack should practice this, but few people at the center position have the passing IQ to learn it, and those who have the conditions to learn it are unwilling to do such troublesome long-passing training.

    Because you may not necessarily get an assist, passing it out is just to initiate an offense. The player who is going down quickly needs to make a decision whether to pass or shoot. He may also dribble to the basket and score after receiving the ball. If he takes two extra steps, he will not get an assist.  In the world of sports competition, you don¡¯t necessarily get assists, and the focus of fans is the one who scores Data represents the possibility of getting a bigger contract, and fans¡¯ attention represents popularity. There is no benefit, and naturally no one will learn from it.  .

    Zhang Hao has sent a lot of passes like this, even more this season, but Kidd, a point guard, has actually become the best at this trick in the league today!

    After completing the counterattack and fast break, the center and point guard stay in the backcourt. This is a powerful means for the Suns to always draw their opponents into positional warfare and attack.

    The Sonics fell into a positional attack, with Zhang Hao playing singles and Cassell assisting.

    Zhang Hao once again encountered a defensive player like Clifford Robinson who he was not very good at dealing with.

    Some players are very special. They get better as they get older. Clifford Robinson is this type of player. His defense becomes even better after the age of 30. In the first game month of this season, he had the second highest defensive efficiency at the power forward position.  player, taller than Duncan and Zhang Hao, second only to Garnett.

    After playing for several rounds, Zhang Hao was not very effective in singles. He only made 1 of 3 shots from the field. It was Cassel who hit Kidd twice with a close back to score, and the score was maintained.

    The Suns are the strongest offensive team in the league this season. Although it is troublesome to deal with the Sonics' defense, Kidd controls the overall situation and his shooting area covers beyond the three-point line. Clifford Robinson's support ability is also very good.  There is also Anfernee Hardaway. The Suns' team offense is playing quite well.

    At 6 minutes and 44 seconds into the first quarter, the Sonics called a timeout first, 9-13. In this situation, the Sonics coaching staff and players knew that they had encountered an opponent they could not handle.

    But the spirit of never giving up has gradually been engraved from Zhang Hao into the basketball outlook of every player on this team.

    The SuperSonics made adjustments to their playing style, with Ben Wallace and Jason Williams playing, Zhang Hao going to the small forward position, and Cassell partnering with Dell Curry in the backcourt.

    In the middle of the quarter, the SuperSonics clearly understood their advantage in rebounding. Ratliff grabbed two offensive rebounds in the first half of the quarter. Unfortunately, his passing speed and recovery speed after grabbing the offensive rebounds were slowed down.  , Kidd, who was all taken back, broke out of bounds. Although it failed to convert into a second offensive score, it at least restricted the Suns from starting a fast break, otherwise the point difference might be even greater.

    In this case, Doug Collins made decisive adjustments in an attempt to expand his offensive rebounding advantage.

    The changes in the SuperSonics' style of play did achieve the results they wanted. In the last 5 minutes and 16 seconds of the first quarter, the Sonics scored 15 points, which was a very excellent scoring efficiency.

    But the Sonics have three shooters from the outside, and the two big insiders are rushing to grab offensive rebounds, which means that if they can't get it, it will be harder for the Suns to counterattack the Sonics.

    As Hu Weidong, who came on as a substitute at the end of the first quarter, received Clifford Robinson's second pass and scored two points with a fast break dunk, the SuperSonics led the SuperSonics by 6 points 30 to 24 entering the intersection break!

    Kidd played the entire first quarter, and Anfernee Hardaway, who usually played just over 30 minutes in a game but had superstar statistics, also played 10 minutes in the first quarter. Both of them were eager to beat Zhang Hao.

    There are no good teammates around Zhang Hao now, but Zhang Hao has shown that he is stronger than when he was 20-21 years old. Seattle is a rich big city. It will be a matter of time for stars to surround Zhang Hao in the future.

    Therefore, Kidd and Anfernee Hardaway are absolutely unwilling to miss the opportunity to play against Zhang Hao's team.

    After entering the inter-quarter break, Kidd and head coach Scott Skiles discussed how to better expand their advantage in the second quarter.

    On the other side of the bench, the Sonics players now have only one belief - not to give up.

    Apart from not giving up, they had no good solution. Their adjustments in the first quarter were excellent, but the opponent relied on counterattack to score 11 points in a single quarter.

    The Suns' positional warfare offense is also very fierce. If it were the Suns in the season opener, the Suns might have more trouble on the offensive end, but it has been a month since the game, and the Sonics already have enough defensive information.  Plenty of samples for the Suns to study.

    But patience, perseverance, and not giving up are all advantages that Sonics players have, and they choose to continue fighting.??The advantage has come, now we must calmly carry out every attack.

    It¡¯s better to give the ball to Zhang Hao. Cassel¡¯s trust in Zhang Hao is blind.

    Zhang Hao played in singles, turned around, and tricked the opponent into taking off. He deflected Hu Weidong, who was coming up from a double attack but did not take off, avoided Clifford Robinson, and broke into the inside!

    Luke Longley moved into position in advance, Zhang Hao suddenly reached close range and completely attracted Luke Longley's double-attack lob. Dell Curry cut in from the baseline on the same side and scored with an alley-oop dunk!

    Unlike his godson, Curry never misses a dunk!

    120 to 116, 49 minutes of game time passed, and the SuperSonics finally took a real lead!

    ¡°Looking at Zhang Hao getting his 16th assist, almost unchanged from the previous statethe emotions of the Suns players were about to explode.

    When the Suns attacked, Clifford Robinson received the ball from the top of the arc and supported it. Facing Zhang Hao's defense, Clifford Robinson chose a single three-point shot This ball was too urgent and anxious. Zhang Hao interfered in place, and Clifford  -Robinson missed a three-pointer!

    Jason Williams grabbed a defensive rebound!

    As Cassell advanced past halftime, he suddenly accelerated and stepped into the three-point line and hit a long two-point shot. 122 to 116, the SuperSonics secured the victory!

    In the last 3 minutes or so, the Suns scored 4 points, but the SuperSonics also scored a goal. Jason Williams grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a 2+1.

    In the end, with a score of 9-4 in overtime, the Sonics defeated the Suns 125-120 in overtime, improving their record to 11 wins and 3 losses!

    When the final whistle sounded, the eager players from the Sonics bench immediately rushed onto the court and celebrated crazily with their teammates on the court!

    As time went by, when it was time to celebrate, Zhang Hao was ignored by his teammates again.

    He looked at the system prompts and looked at the statistics of 44 points, 14 rebounds, 17 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks on the big screen It was a bit heartbreaking, 120 destiny, but averaging a triple-double per game in a single month, this is quite something to be happy about!

    The teammates celebrated and ignored Zhang Hao, who always had no expression and indiscriminately hurt the emotions of his teammates, and gave reporters a chance to interview him after the game.

    The battle between China¡¯s strongest insider and the strongest outsider was naturally broadcast live on the imperial TV station, but this time they wanted to interview first, but t.n.t, who was live broadcasting in the United States, was unwilling and crowded next to Zhang Hao.

    In that case, let¡¯s ask together!

    Su Qun asked: "Akers, congratulations on completing your dream achievement of averaging a triple-double in a single month. Domestic fans are very concerned about this matter. You have succeeded in doing it. What do you want to say to the millions of domestic fans?"  Did they say that?"

    ¡°The fans¡¯ attention and support give me a lot of motivation.¡±

    That's it?  Su Qun also wants to ask a few questions. This requires more talk!  It's a good opportunity to gain fans. How come this kid still doesn't understand after playing in the NBA for so many years?  Domestic fans need a sense of form!

    But Kenny Smith, who was pushed out by Barkley, has already started to ask questions: "Congratulations, Akers, we have known for a long time that you will definitely average a triple-double per game. This month's Player of the Month must belong to you. You  He is also far stronger than Penny and Kidd. Is there anything you want to say after this game?"

    Barkley called him "good guy". Kenny Smith said all the things Zhang Hao could do to show off!  What else should Zhang Hao answer?

    But they still underestimated Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao responded: "I'm glad to have played an overtime match, but I'm curious. I've already surrounded them, but they didn't surrender."

 Chapter 448 448. Why does this fat man look like a resentful woman?  (9000 words, please vote for me)

    Averaging 32.2 points, 12 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, Zhang Hao averaged a triple-double in his first game month!

    There have only been 11 triple-doubles in a single month in NBA history, with Oscar Robertson averaging 7 times and Magic Johnson and Chamberlain both averaging 2 times.

    ?Among them, Chamberlain got it twice in February, playing 10 games.

    Oscar Robertson¡¯s 7 times were not obtained in February, the regular game month, 13 to 17 games.

    The Magic¡¯s two games, one in December, played 14 games, and the other in February, played 11 games.

    Zhang Hao became the fourth player in NBA history to average a triple-double in a single month!

    Many people speculate that it is difficult for Zhang Hao to get more than 10 assists against the Suns, because Zhang Hao needs to score more points to help the Sonics win. As a result, Zhang Hao scored a very high score, 42 points, and also  He scored a new regular season high of 17 assists in a single game, tying his personal record of 17 assists in a single game in the playoffs!

    After the game, it immediately sparked a frenzy of discussion among fans.

    By noon the next day, Zhang Hao, who followed the team to Los Angeles again, won the Player of the Week award for the third time this season and the third Player of the Week award in the first game month.

    Now the Player of the Month award is confirmed, another day has passed, and a new month has arrived. At 10 a.m. on December 1, the league announced at the regular press conference that Zhang Hao won the Player of the Month award for the first time this season.  .

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°Boss, you won the Player of the Month, the Bulls¡¯ Bryant won the Rookie of the Month, and the Magic¡¯s Rivers won the Coach of the Month.

    Corey Scales, an expert on American cable TV, predicted that the probability of your boss averaging a triple-double is 20%. He listed the data. The Magic averaged 18.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game, and Big O once averaged 30.5 points per game.  10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists, an average of 28.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 9.5 assists, and an average of 31.4 points, 9.9 rebounds and 11.4 assists. They were all very close to averaging a triple-double, but in the end they didn't achieve it"

    Artest read the news obediently.

    "Some media broke the news that the official may divide the Best of the Week and the Best of the Month into one for the East and the West next season or the next season. I am worried that you and O'Neal will win all the awards for several years in a row"

    "I'm worried that Mr. O'Neal and I will win all the awards"

    Zhang Hao felt comfortable listening to this statement!

    "Okay Ron, you go and rest, I'll lie down for a while."

    "OK!"

    Artest disappeared from the lounge at the speed of light as if he was fleeing.

    In front of other teammates, Artest still looked like he was always in need of a beating, but in front of Zhang Hao, he acted as if he was cowardly.

    Looking at Artest fleeing hastily, Zhang Hao smiled.

    ¡°The Light Reappears: The First Phase of the Return of the King.

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, special contract player Zhang Hao must win the Player of the Month award at least in the first game month of the 1999-2000 season.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: life span 120 days.

    The second phase of the task is to be triggered.  "

    "Ghost:

    Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao¡¯s assist number in this game must be higher than that of Jason Kidd.  (17 to 13, completed.)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Designated Medal: Quarterback Silver Upgrade Card Fragment*1.  "

    "Upgrading this medal to the silver level will trigger tasks related to the matching training card Let me see, there are still 50 hours of training in the 8th stage of the 'Master of Pressure Defense', one hour per day. I should be able to complete it during the All-Star Weekend.  Occasionally, you can speed up the progress if you have more rest days or consecutive home games. You should be able to get the top muscle memory of single defense before the start of the playoffs.

    The fragments of the next two quarterbacks will probably not be collected until after the playoffs Next summer will be very busy again!  "

    Realizing that he will be extra fulfilling in the future, Zhang Hao thinks he should sleep more if he has time

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao came to Los Angeles again. Unfortunately, the opponent was still not the Lakers. He played against the Lakers once this month, on December 25, the last game of the early season.

    Today, we are still playing the Clippers.

    Francis, the best-performing rookie in the Western Conference in the new season, averaged 18.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game. His performance in the 15 games in the first month was very domineering, and he lived up to the media's praise of "changing people's inherent impression of point guards."

    Can score like last year¡¯s Rookie of the Year Vince Carter, can be gradually regarded as a 9-9 player like he is nowAfter playing the Lakers last night, the day after tomorrow on the 27th, we will play the Kings at home, on the 28th, we will play the 76ers back-to-back at home, and on the 30th, we will play the Bulls away.

    Just when Zhang Hao was calming down the mood swings caused by O'Neal's provocation, the system prompt came!

    "Revisiting the old place, things have changed and people have changed. Gratitudes and hatreds can no longer be restrained. They all appear in front of my eyes. Special contract player Zhang Hao's hatred for the Lakers, his unwillingness to be traded, and his dissatisfaction with the strength of the team he is currently playing.  Nothing can be restrained, the second phase of the series of missions The Return of the King: Revenge is triggered on Christmas Eve"

    "I feel very peaceful now! I like my current situation very much! Where am I unwilling, dissatisfied, and unreasonable!"

    Zhang Hao felt a pain in the ass, but the missions were here. He was looking forward to more missions, but there were only a few missions after his comeback. After a bit of fuss, he quickly read the mission description.

    ¡°Revenge of Christmas Eve: The Second Phase of the Return of the King mission.

After completing goal 2, Zhang Hao's score will be higher than Shaquille O'Neal's score, and the host will gain 5 times the life span.

    Note: The completion of this mission will determine the direction of the next mission in the series of missions: Return of the King.  "

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Unconditional and no consumption right to use the advanced level This reward made Zhang Hao's eyes light up!

    Now, he will definitely not be able to play in an O'Neal jersey. He is no longer on the same team. The O'Neal card is not well matched and is a top-level card. The 60 destiny is not worth it.

    This is a card that you may get after your comeback that you have never gotten before!

    Although he is now using the second-year O'Neal card, because the matching degree cannot be too high after all, and the outside shooting hand feels the impact, using the second-year O'Neal card, the strength after the bonus + negative bonus may not be  It's stronger than him, but his playing style can be completely changed, which is another kind of enhancement.

    At 7:54, the Heat defeated the Knicks 85-81 with Mashburn's 28 points and Mourning's 16 rebounds and 5 blocks.

    At 7:56, the Jazz relied on Malone's 41 points to defeat the Suns 108-101.

    The competition in the East has been much less stressful this year. After the lockout, the Eastern Conference has further lost stars. The first and second place in the Eastern Conference are basically the competition between the Pacers and the 76ers, with the Heat, Raptors, Hornets and Knicks competing for the top spot.  For the other two positions in the top four in the Eastern Conference, the Heat originally had a better regular season record. Now, the Heat at least have the upper hand in the competition with the Knicks.

    After the Suns lost to the Jazz, their record became 21 wins and 6 losses, suddenly falling to fourth in the Western Conference. The record gap between the top four in the Western Conference is very small. Even the Lakers will fall after losing two games.

    By the end of both games, at Staples Center, the Sonics and Lakers players were ready to take the court.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Cassell, Ruben Patterson, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ratliff.

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Payton, Glenn Rice, Pierce, AC Green, and O'Neal.

    The game was about to start, and the fans wanted to boo Zhang Hao, but the sound coming out of their mouths was much quieter.

    Since Zhang Hao's comeback, the fans have been looking forward to the game against the SuperSonics, and they have prepared all kinds of abuse. When Zhang Hao entered the stadium, many people booed at the top of their lungs, but when Zhang Hao  When they actually walked onto the court and stood on the opposite side, the fans were even more disappointed and frustrated.

    The youthful face is gradually fading, and the expression is as calm as everbut he is no longer the star of their Lakers team.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air O'Neal beat Zhang Hao to win the jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first!

    Payton slowly advanced and the game fell into a positional battle.

    After arriving in the frontcourt, Payton singled out Ruben Patterson, attracting Cassel to cover up the defense, and distributed the ball to Glenn Rice.

    Glenn Rice took a long two-point shot and missed!

    Zhang Hao had already released AC Green to double-team O'Neal without the ball, and worked together with Ratliff to trap O'Neal and grab defensive rebounds.

    The Lakers retreated quickly. Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound and passed it to Cassel. When he ran to the frontcourt, he glanced at Glenn Rice who was retreating. This was the strongest pitcher who came to the Lakers.  After adapting, he averaged 17.3 points per game with the Hornets last season. This season, the Lakers scored almost half, averaging only 9 points per game, and his ability evaluation was only 74.

    The Lakers' signing, which was regarded as a "giant level" at the time, now seems to be quite a failure. It is not as good as Brent Barry, who has better support ability and better athletic ability.

    The main reason is that the rhythm is not suitable for Glen Rice. Glen Rice is more suitable for the light and agile offensive system of the original Hornets. The Lakers have 140+kg O'Neal and Payton. Of course, they have to take their time.  In the ground battle, Glen Rice's 43% field goal percentage and 34.4% three-point field goal percentage this season were both the lowest since his rookie season.

    Cassel advanced to the frontcourt and encountered Payton's pressure and defense, and passed the ball to Zhang Hao.

    &nThe Lakers saw it. Zhang Hao just wanted to shoot by himself. His teammates didn't pass the ball when they were free, and they decisively launched a rougher attack.

    The last shot of the "Kobe Time" command is ironclad!

    O'Neal protects the defensive rebounds. The Lakers are not in a hurry and stay in position to fight. They have a chance to open the point difference to 10 points!

    The Sonics were very tight on the catch-and-shoot attempts of Pierce, Rick Fox, and Brian Shaw this time, but they also gave Payton the opportunity to break out and pass the ball to O'Neal from close range.

    O¡¯Neal got a rare opportunity to eat cake, and excitedly dunked the ball towards the basket

    "Snapped"

    "ßÑ"

    After Zhang Hao finished guarding Payton, he rushed towards O'Neal. When O'Neal was about to smash the ball into the basket, his left hand smacked the ball that O'Neal dunked!

    He failed to shoot the ball, but it also escaped O'Neal's control. O'Neal let go. When O'Neal's hand was hanging on the basket, the ball flew out, hit the inside of the basket, and bounced out.

    Ben Wallace actively shrank back and grabbed the defensive rebound!

    The Lakers retreated quickly. When Zhang Hao received a pass from Ben Wallace, even O'Neal had already exited the free throw line and was not affected by being blocked just now.

    This concentration is evident!

    Falling into a positional battle, Travis Best continued to pass the ball to Zhang Hao.

    ??Obviously, at this stage, teammates have become accustomed to and acquiesced in Zhang Hao's attack and their defense.

    When Zhang Hao received the ball, the opponent's defense had already come up and the close defense was already in place. At this time, he could pass the ball, but Zhang Hao did not hesitate at all and chose to believe in himself.

    ??Hit from behind, turned around, retreated, failed to get rid of the defense, it was Rick Fox who supported Zhang Hao, and when Zhang Hao retreated, it was Pierce who pressed up!

    Pierce relied on his excellent bounce to cover Zhang Hao's regular shooting space. When Zhang Hao took the shot, he lifted the ball upwards, avoiding Pierce's interference. He straightened his hands upwards, his shoulders did not move, and his wrists  Use your strength to push the ball towards the basket

    In!

    Zhang Hao imitated Rasheed Wallace¡¯s straight-arm long two-point shot and scored!

    After resting for more than a year, Zhang Hao occasionally practiced some things, such as adjusting his three-point shooting posture, but he really couldn't change it when shooting in an open position or turning around to catch the ball. In these two situations, the shot put is the most accurate.

    But when playing three-pointers in singles when there is defense, Zhang Hao has already begun to adjust. When playing shot put three-pointers in singles, the limitations are too great. He encountered Clifford Robinson, Garnett, and Anthony Mason Jr.  , pj-Brown and others are completely unbeatable.

    I tried the position with Chris Irving for many minutes, and finally chose Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm three-pointer.

    But it was not the time to be the head coach, I just practiced occasionally, but I didn¡¯t expect it to work at this time!

    51 to 56, the SuperSonics continued to hold on to the score in the third quarter!

    This time, it¡¯s the Lakers¡¯ turn to call a timeout!  Carlisle wanted to curb Zhang Hao's touch through a timeout.

    Zhang Hao is so unreasonable. He just used his huge size advantage to make strong shots against the defense, and he really made 4 of 5 shots!

    When the SuperSonics defended, they were pressing the tempo, and the Lakers were also pressing the tempo. In 3 minutes and 17 seconds, the Lakers felt that they scored 7 points, which was very good.

    But Zhang Hao scored 8 points alone!

    ???????????????????????????? Even though the Lakers have defended Zhang Hao very well and restricted Zhang Hao¡¯s shooting very well, Zhang Hao still made the ball!

    When watching videos or watching live games, Carlisle didn't feel this way yet. Now he feels that Zhang Hao already has the feeling of Jordan, who won the first three consecutive championships, in the mid-range area!

    "How can such a player be traded away? Even if he offends the other party, the person who made the mistake must kneel down and beg him to stay!"

    Carlisle is in great pain.

    However, he knew that if Zhang Hao really stayed, the position of head coach would not be his turn. He could only go to those weak teams to interview for head coach positions. For example, he almost accepted the position of head coach of the Sonics before.  , but later received an invitation from the logo man, and he immediately joined the Lakers.

    For a new coach, the invitation from the Lakers is completely irresistible, it is too tempting.

    Actually, Old Bass never thought about asking Bass Jr. to kneel down and beg Zhang Hao to stay. He also planned to let Bass Jr. imitate the Japanese and pretend to commit suicide by caesarean section to express his apology, but Zhang Hao didn¡¯t see anyone from the Bass family.

    In addition to Silver Fox and Pierce, Zhang Hao met Jenny Buss. Originally, O'Neal should also be able to meet Zhang Hao, but at that time, O'Neal was angry because Zhang Hao refused to return to the team and was unwilling to go.

    The Bass family actually didn¡¯t take the matter so seriously at first, but they didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to be so decisive.

    Old Buss guessed it. It was probably Zhang Hao who discovered the chaos in the management. He also knew that Jim Buss and Jenny Buss had been competing

    Carlisle¡¯s balls ached for a moment, he concentrated and began to adjust.

    ¡­¡­

    After the timeout, the Lakers' offense and defense have not changed much. The purpose of calling the timeout is to interrupt Zhang Hao's touch.

    Of course Carlisle made the emphasis, resolutely protecting the basket, and multiple people flanked Zhang Hao.

    At this time, one of Zhang Hao¡¯s great strengths came to light¡ªno hesitation.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT??OUT??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    When there is really no chance to shoot, pass it to the teammates on the wing and look for Travis Best and Artest, and you will not insist on making a hard shot when there is really no chance to shoot just because they can't make the shot.

    And they are decisive and unwavering. If they decide to play this way, they will implement it resolutely. At this stage, they are rushing to defend.

    Carlisle called a timeout to interrupt Zhang Hao's rhythm, and he did it. He was very good at adapting to the situation, but Carlisle called a timeout this time, which also interrupted Payton's excellent offensive rhythm at the beginning of the second half.

    From 3 minutes and 17 seconds to 9 minutes and 11 seconds of the third quarter, the two teams changed players and entered the rhythm of defensive battle that the Sonics preferred.

    Under such a rhythm, although the Sonics could not continue to narrow the point difference, they at least held the score.

    In the past 6 minutes, although the SuperSonics only scored 8 points, Ben Wallace, Jason Williams, Zhang Hao, Ratliff, and Artest played in threes and threes to guard against O'Neal.  Under the blockage, the Lakers were limited to only 7 points!

    59 to 63, the SuperSonics were 4 points behind and entered the timeout again.

    This timeout, both teams rotated again.

    The Lakers sent a combination of Payton, Fisher, Pierce, AC Green, and O'Neal.

    The SuperSonics sent out a combination of Cassell, Dell Curry, Schrempf, Zhang Hao and Jason Williams.

    This time it was Silver Fox who made the suggestion, to catch the other party by surprise.

    This radical strategy is Silver Fox¡¯s usual style and may be exploited by the opponent.

    Sure enough, after the timeout, Payton seized the opportunity and passed a lob to O'Neal. O'Neal caught the ball and turned around to hold Zhang Hao and hit the basket.

    So powerful!

    Under the SuperSonics' defense, O'Neal still shot 9 of 15 from the field, plus 6 of 10 free throws. He has scored 24 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks.

    Looking back, the Sonics attacked, Dell Curry received Schrempf's three-pointer, the ball bounced far, Zhang Hao grabbed the ball, took a step forward and hit a layup.

    61 to 65, the SuperSonics continued to hold on to the score.

    ? 36 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In terms of statistics, Zhang Hao has lived up to O'Neal a long time ago. He scored higher than O'Neal, which is relatively easy. O'Neal's pure basketball style is always easily restricted.

    However, O'Neal's role is definitely stronger than Zhang Hao's when he has strong outside teammates.

    The Sonics' strategy was radical, but Payton took advantage of the Sonics' poor defense at this stage and launched a fierce attack.

    ????????? Then O¡¯Neal received the ball and passed to Fisher and hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Zhang Hao turned around and scored from the high post. Schrempf made a cut and shot and caused AC Green to foul and score an extra penalty.

    End of the third quarter??: "Aix, you won this time, it won't be like this next time!"

    "Oh? Paul, I admire your courage!"

    The two looked at each other and smiled at this moment, and did not continue talking. Pierce put the towel on his shoulders and turned towards the player tunnel.

    Zhang Hao was interviewed after the game.

    Barkley could not control himself this time. He came to Zhang Hao and asked, "Akers, you beat the Lakers and O'Neal. What do you want to say?"

    This time it was Kenny Smith¡¯s turn to look at Barkley like a show.

    Zhang Hao responded: "I just want to win. The fans should want to see me throw the ball in, so I made it."

    "???" Kenny Smith wanted to curse on the spot when he heard this answer!

 Chapter 451 451. Don¡¯t buy a helicopter!  (Please vote for 6,000 words!)

    The Lakers suppressed the Sonics for a whole game, but were blocked by Zhang Hao during a key counterattack. The Sonics took advantage of this and tied the score 9-4. The second-year Pierce, who is famous for his key shots, made a shot.  It was a close shot, but Zhang Hao once again scored a winning goal, his 14th in the regular season!

    33 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks. O'Neal's performance tonight was extremely brutal, but Zhang Hao scored 51 points!  The last 50+ in a single game this season was O'Neal's second 50+ in a single game this season after scoring 50+ against the Clippers.

    When the two compete on the same field, even fans who have never seen the two play together before feel that it is most suitable for them to be teammates.

    From all aspects, the two of them are very suitable to be teammates.

    However, it was precisely because the two were separated that there was such a discussion.

    The Christmas war came to a successful conclusion. At 0:00 in the morning that night, the NBA official website launched the All-Star voting online voting link.

    The early part of the season has ended, and it will enter the mid-season stage, and All-Star voting will also begin.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°Revenge of Christmas Eve: The Second Phase of the Return of the King mission.

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to lead the SuperSonics to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in tonight's Christmas game.

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to score higher than Shaquille O'Neal in the game against the Lakers.

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Shaquille O¡¯Neal¡¯s 1993-1994 version of the star experience card with no consumption and unconditional upgrade rights once, with a 90-day lifespan.

    The remaining life span is 1281 days and the usable life span is 1280 days.  "

    "The third phase of the mission of Return of the King: The King of Popularity triggers."

    "The King of Popularity:

    Goal: With the help of the host, Zhang Hao needs to be selected as the starter for the 2000 Oakland All-Star Game.

    Reward: Lifespan 60 days.

    Advanced goal: Zhang Hao needs to become the ticket leader at the 2000 Oakland All-Star Weekend.

    Advanced rewards: Gold-level rewards: three optional dunk bags.  "

    At 6:05 in the morning on the 26th, Zhang Hao woke up on time.

    I took a look at the new mission triggered last night and found it very difficult!

    Because Carter is so popular this year and has a good record. The second-year Carter led the team to fifth in the Eastern Conference, ranking behind the Pacers, Heat, 76ers, and Knicks. Compared with last season, there has been a huge improvement.  .

    But the most important thing is Carter's dunk, which made him popular all over the United States last season.

    Just one dunk earned him the title of "Jordan's Successor", which is absolutely unique among many Jordan's successors.

    After the shortened season, in order to increase the topic for discussion, NBA officials not only planned to divide the weekly awards and monthly awards into the East and West, but also included data such as the number of dunks in a single season into statistical items, and there are also things that no one paid attention to before.  Data such as ball holding rate, assist rate, etc.

    In fact, Carter's dunk frequency is not high. So far this season, he has only 21 dunks in total, which is much different from O'Neal's 84 dunks so far, Zhang Hao's 72 dunks so far, and Duncan's 70 dunks so far. Of course, these are insiders.  But compared with players who have many outside dunks, Carter is not that many. Kobe has dunked 31 times so far this season, Tracy McGrady has 29 times, and Glenn Robinson has 27 times. Carter's dunks are almost the same as Jordan's 20 times.

    But every dunk Carter makes can be compared with the dunk contest champions before the contest was cancelled.

    There is no difficulty to create difficulty, but you have to dunk. If you look at it from another angle, Carter is the player who has been blocked the most times for trying to dunk this season. In his rookie season last season, Carter played in 50 games and dunked a total of 44 times, and was blocked 31 times for trying to dunk.  , he always tried to complete dunks in difficult situations, and he was always blocked, but what people remember is the ones he made.

    Zhang Hao took out a pen and paper and listed the competitors for this year's All-Star vote.

    The new generation - Carter, Kobe, Iverson.

    Kobe's situation is very special. Because of the emergence of Zhang Hao and Duncan before, Kobe will basically be locked in the No. 1 pick as long as he participates in the draft after 1997. However, because of Olowokandi, Kobe became the No. 1 pick as expected by everyone.  After being looked down upon again, he actually played in the best lineup and even had a level of strength This tortuous change in public opinion brought higher attention to Kobe.

    Iverson is currently the most controversial player. In the first three years of his career, many negative things about him were seen by fans. Especially in this era when the Internet is gradually booming, many negative things have been spread to more people, such as  Many of his friends have gang backgrounds, unique dressing styles, and are extremely slack in training This has resulted in the mainstream media and NBA officials hardly praising him. With his current popularity, he is basically pureThe news is here again - Iverson is absent, the 76ers defeated the Sonics, is Iverson the cancer that prevents Duncan from winning the MVP?

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    They failed to win 20 games and ushered in their 10th loss of the season. After losing to the 76ers, the SuperSonics record became 19 wins and 10 losses.

    The morning after playing the 76ers, the SuperSonics came to Chicago.

    ? 11:50 noon, a family restaurant in the suburbs of Chicago.

    Kobe looked at Zhang Hao, who was bigger than him, and silently gave up the idea of ??having a one-on-one fight with him.

    One-on-one in various ways.

    Both of them arrived at the restaurant at 11:30, but after ordering, 20 minutes passed and no one spoke.

    Kobe couldn't help it and said, "Akers, do you know why I invited you here for lunch?"

    Zhang Hao responded: "Because it's delicious?"

    "no."

    ¡°You specifically found a restaurant that didn¡¯t taste good?¡±

    "No! I didn't mean to invite you here because the food is delicious. Of course, the food here is very delicious, but for other reasons."

    "what reason?"

    ¡°There¡¯s a traffic jam in Chicago! The traffic jam is serious!¡±

    ""

    Zhang Hao felt that it was really difficult for Kobe Bryant. In order to open up the conversation, he probably had to forget about this little afro for a reason. It was so miserable. I really wanted to rua, but just looking at it made me rua.

    But this guy is different from Iverson and Ginobili. If you rub his head, it will probably jump.

    But having said that, Kobe continued on this topic: "Everything is good in big cities, and the educational environment is good. By the way, have I told you? I am chasing a girl named Vanessa"

    "I heard, it seems to be a high school girl, not yet 18 years old, right? You are really capable of killing her." Zhang Hao looked disgusted.

    "Listen to what I have to say!" Kobe felt Zhang Hao's disgusted eyes and explained angrily: "She will be an adult in 5 months! Only then will she agree to be my girlfriend!"

    "Congratulations, you will have a new girlfriend soon."

    "But it's very troublesome. He transferred to St. Paul High School here, but the school is in the city. Every time I go to date her, I encounter traffic jams. It takes an hour to drive for 10 minutes. After you have been in Los Angeles for so many years, you should have  Do you feel it?"

    "It's really troublesome, but when the Lakers were in Inglewood, it wasn't that congested. After they moved to Staples Center, I was very glad that I changed teams when I went to play away games."

    ¡°Sometimes I want to change teams because of this, so I¡¯m going to do something that no one else has done.¡±

    "whats the matter?"

    "Buy a helicopter! There is a helipad on the roof of a building near the United Center. They should be happy for me to park the helicopter there. I have gone shopping, and there is also an helipad near St. Paul High School. It will be convenient then."

    Zhang Hao was instantly excited: "Helicopter? Don't buy it!"

    Kobe was a little proud: "Why? I've been thinking about this for the past two months, and I've already inquired about the price. Why, I did something you haven't done before, are you jealous?"

    "Helicopters are too dangerous. Have you ever thought about what if the helicopter breaks down? What if the pilot gets so confident that he can drive well in the fog and crashes into a building? What if your helicopter has an accident? It's a trivial matter.  , it would be bad if it drags down others. Think about it, if it hits the United Center, it would be a terrorist attack. Also, what if"

    "Don't worry! It's too bad! When you said that, my mind was filled with those images. Forget it, I'd better go out early every day. I shouldn't have told you about this. Now I can't even think about taking a helicopter.  I feel uncomfortable and really disappointed"

 Chapter 452 452. McGrady¡¯s Jealousy (5000 words, please vote for me)

    McGrady was happy when Kobe was drafted.

    After Kobe was drafted, McGrady and Kobe chatted for the first time. McGrady was frightened. Kobe said he wanted to become the best in Bulls history

    Then, McGrady discovered that it was really possible!  This new version of Pippen is happy in front of others. Kobe will scold others but not him, unlike Jordan who no one can stand.

    McGrady¡¯s current mood¡­singing and dancing, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

    The feeling of partnering with Jordan is back!  And this is a version of Jordan that doesn¡¯t have any trouble mocking him!

    However, now, McGrady feels that something is not quite right

    "In order to prevent Vanessa from buying clothes because they are too expensive, you bought a store to offer discounts just for her?"

    "What, is it awesome?"

    "learned."

    "Are you going to do this too?"

    "April has completely changed after giving birth to a baby. She was always very picky, and now she is even more reluctant to buy things I plan to invest in a shopping mall and give her a 10% off card."

    "" Kobe wanted to hit someone, but he still gave pertinent advice: "The 10% off card is too fake. You can give me a 30% off or 50% off card, and then add some promotions to make it more real."

    "As expected of an old Sepi, he has his own tricks!"

    "Who are you talking about?"

    "You took a high school student from Los Angeles to Chicago, and you went to the high school to hunt for women."

    ¡°I didn¡¯t go to high school! As I said, I met Vanessa when I went to Hollywood to shoot commercials. She also worked as a model in her spare time to earn pocket money!¡±

    "You paid to transfer her here? St. Paul's High School must have good grades."

    "She has good academic performance and can get a scholarship. I just rented an apartment for her."

    "Isn't it good to live on campus? And you said you're not a pervert."

    "Didn't you go to high school in the United States? Living on campus is more expensive than renting an apartment!"

    "Yes, yes, you are right."

    ""

    If he couldn¡¯t beat him, Kobe would have wanted to have a real fight with Zhang Hao.

    The angry Kobe pulled McGrady and left directly.

    McGrady was dragged away from the visiting team¡¯s training ground, feeling very helpless - let me also say a few words to him!  I haven't spoken to him yet!

    However, the chat between Zhang Hao and Kobe was about to get into a quarrel again, and McGrady felt a little happy

    On December 30, the SuperSonics came to the United Center and will challenge the Bulls away from home at 5:30 in the evening.

    This was the last game between the two teams in 1999, and it was also the last game in the 20th century according to the latest statistical method of the Global Natural Science Association. It attracted very high attention.

    Although the No. 1 pick in 1998 was successful, the league still regarded Kobe Bryant, the No. 1 pick in 1999, as the real successor to Jordan. Most of the games at key points, except for the Christmas game, almost all had interesting matchups, such as  The opening game was against Carter's Raptors, and Anfernee Hardaway played against Anfernee Hardaway on January 1, 2000, etc.

    Kobe did not disappoint the league. Like Zhang Hao and Duncan, he performed immediately after entering the NBA, making these games truly popular.

    The Bulls will play the Hawks twice in January, and once in February and April, both of which have become popular games.

    After the morning training, Zhang Hao accepted an exclusive interview with the Chicago Sun-Times.

    After a series of questions, the reporter cut to the chase and asked a very traditional question: "Akers, Kobe Bryant is currently averaging 28 points per game. He is another rookie after Jordan and you.  A rookie who averaged 28 points per game this season, what do you think of him?"

    The reporter has already sharpened his knife. He has prepared various information, such as his offensive ability with the ball in his rookie season, his influence on the game, his role on the defensive end and a series of other things. As long as Zhang Hao's evaluation is not good,  , he can argue with reason!

    ?Compared to the reporters in Philadelphia, this reporter feels extremely smart.

    "Kobe is very good, the strongest rookie I have ever seen."

    "What you said is wrong, lookah? What did you say?"

    "I think I'm right. Kobe may be even better than Michael. He will become the strongest in the history of the Bulls. He will become the scoring leader in the history of the Bulls. He may win 4-5 championships  "

    The reporter is down

    That¡¯s not the case!  It shouldn't be like this!

    You have to say Kobe is not good!  For example, let¡¯s say Kobe is a statistics guru. Let¡¯s laugh at Kobe¡¯s performance in his rookie season and say that Kobe¡¯s reputation is greater than his strength. Ridiculous attention.?Singles¡­

    The Bulls led by 6 points 28-22 in the first quarter, and by 5 points 30-25 in the second quarter. At the end of the half, the Bulls led the SuperSonics 58-47 by 11 points entering the intermission!

    Kobe Bryant had 18 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in the half, McGrady had 12 points, 5 assists and 2 blocks in the half, John Starks had 13 points in the half the fans at the scene were already excited!

    Although their Plan B combination did not perform as well as Zhang Hao. After Zhang Hao scored 6 points on 2-for-6 shooting, he scored 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting. However, their Plan B combination led the team to play according to Zhang Hao's team.  !

    Entering the halftime break, Zhang Hao ignored the restlessness of the fans and glanced at McGrady and Kobe who were walking towards the opposite tunnel. McGrady was discussing something with Kobe

    "It turns out that Maddie looks like this when she opens her eyes!"

    ¡­¡­

    ?? 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, 10 of 19 in the half, Zhang Hao himself felt that he had played well.

    But the Bulls¡¯ Plan B duo scored 30 points and 8 assists in half the game, which was a blast!

    What Kobe and Zhang Hao think about and what they see in the news after the start of the new season are very different.

    Zhang Hao believes that Kobe loves to play blindly, and he will also play blindly when partnering with O'Neal, especially in the regular season. What he sees in the news is similar. Kobe often plays blindly.

    "However, after the match, he found that Kobe played very reasonablyor could play very reasonably.

    Being held down by third-year Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant, who has entered the NBA with a mature body, for half the game, Zhang Hao was not angry or frustrated. The opponent's performance was indeed good. Since the opponent performed so well, it should be the case.

    Although the Bulls are top-light and foot-heavy, whether it is based on scouting reports, analysis of player detection reports, or actual games, the Bulls' offensive lineup structure and overall offensive performance are better than their Sonics team.  , the average scoring difference is nearly 10 points per game, and their SuperSonics team has averaged 94.4 points per game so far.

    The coordination of the triangle offense has the three-core core of Kobe, Tracy McGrady, and Kukoc. The cutting players Ron Harper and BJ Armstrong play so well. The two 213-centimeter centers alternately play at the basket and contain them  ¡­

    "There is a high probability that the defensive end is unstoppable and Plan B has been thrown away, so let's start from the offensive end!"

    Zhang Hao had a plan. After a while, after his teammates gathered in the lounge and discussed with the coaching staff, Doug Collins also made the same judgment - strengthen the offense in the second half!

    There are two superstar-level outside players on the opposite side. If you can't guard them, you really can't guard them. The stability of outside superstars is difficult to compare with inside superstars, but their explosiveness is often far better than inside superstars.

    Everyone understands that these two people were well prepared and played hard because they played against Zhang Hao, and they were in excellent form tonight

    The members of the coaching staff are in pain. Coaching Zhang Hao is very happy. It is what all coaches dream of, but this guy is so hateful!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s side is even more miserable!  The system prompt is coming!

    "Specially signed players once again encounter the challenge of young talents, the golden chapter of the nightmare of rookies in the series of missions: the nightmare of Plan B is triggered."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 453 453. The Nightmare of Plan B (Part 1) (5000 words, please vote for me)

    ¡°The Nightmare of Plan B: The Golden Chapter of the Rookie¡¯s Nightmare.

    Goal: Special signing player Zhang Hao must score higher than the combined scores of Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady at the end of the game.

    Rewards: 1. Lifespan reward of 10 times the point difference, 2. Special card: I can figure it out just by looking at it.

    Advanced goal: While completing the regular goal, Zhang Hao needs to lead the team to defeat the Bulls.

    Advanced reward: Diamond reward: 81 points contract (unique).

    81-point contract: Used in regular season games, the designated signed player will be in an extremely hot state throughout the whole process before his score is lower than 81 points, and will temporarily obtain the stamina pool (gold) effect of the medal Peter Pan.  (Note: This special card is unique and cannot trigger special usage, and there is no second chance to obtain it.)

    After the basic goal of this mission is completed, the medal: Peter Pan's physical pool advanced mission will be triggered. If it is not completed, the next trigger time will come.  "

    Gold level independent mission!  The number of times this triggers is very rare!

    Zhang Hao read the advanced rewards several times

    "One-time sharingan and 81-point contract! If you don't get this reward, it would be unforgivable! This gold-level mission is a bit fierce! There is also an advanced mission of Peter Pan's stamina pool

    But one person¡¯s score is higher than the two people¡¯s combined scores?  This is Kobe + Tracy McGrady!  Not Carter + Odom!

    Jordanka continues to strengthen his breakthrough?  No, you shouldn¡¯t think this way. 120 lives is very expensive, and they can no longer prevent my breakthrough. They can limit my shooting and consume me Try a lottery?  "

    Zhang Hao looked at the two silver lottery draws, one silver lottery opportunity, one bronze lottery opportunity and one bronze lottery opportunity, and one gold lottery opportunity in the reward space

    As soon as I thought about it, the system prompt came.

    "The host uses the silver lottery, and the special contracted player Zhang Hao is in the game. Is it designated as an exclusive prop for this game?"

    The prize pools of regular draws and competition-focused draws are different. Zhang Hao has long understood this and made a decisive choice.

    ¡°The host used the silver lottery to designate the special contracted player Zhang Hao for the ongoing gameCongratulations to the host for receiving the limited-time reward: Hamilton Character Transformation Special Card: A Disease (1 piece).¡±

    ¡°???A disease???¡±

    When Zhang Hao saw the name of this special card, he felt like he was beating the Timberwolves.

    At this time, the system screen switched to the description interface of "a disease".

    "A disease(*): Chauncey Billups views Richard Hamilton's physical strength as a disease of beauty. If Richard Hamilton fails to complete 5 miles of running distance in every game, he will be in the game.  Then make up to 5 miles. If it is not completed, the state of the next race will be greatly affected.

    Effect: After use, Zhang Hao's physical strength will remain above the level where he can exert his full strength when the running distance of this game is within 5 miles (8000 meters).

    Live: After use, if Zhang Hao's running distance does not reach 5 miles (8000 meters) at the end of this game, he must complete the remaining running distance before the end of today. If not executed, he will enter a fatigue state in the next game.  "

    ¡°In terms of physical strength when he was young, Hamilton, who practiced long-distance running, was probably the strongest one!

    Although they are mainly about running without the ball, unlike Kobe and Jordan, who have more intense singles consumption, it is impossible for Kobe and Jordan to run like Hamilton. Hamilton's running distance has caught up with football players.  In terms of running distance, he is completely ahead of all players, and he is still running in a competition that is as small as a football field

    But what is wrong with this?  Are you uncomfortable without running 8,000 meters?  This guy is really sick!  "

    ¡­¡­

    "Sickness is a disease. If possible, Zhang Hao hopes that he can suffer from this disease. Since he cannot suffer from it, it is okay to temporarily experience this disease.

    The halftime break was almost over. After being reminded by the staff, Zhang Hao returned to the court with his teammates and decisively used the limited-time special card "A Disease".

    "The host uses a limited-time special card: a disease, limited to: Zhang Hao. From now until 24:00 tonight, Zhang Hao's physical strength will remain at full strength when the running distance in this game is within 5 miles (8000 meters).  Above the level of performance"

    Playing a full half of the game, although Zhang Hao has very good physical strength and is one of the players with the best physical strength in the league, there will still be some consumption and fatigue.

    But after "getting sick", I felt like I was back in the middle of the first quarter, my body was fully active, but the accumulated fatigue was gone!

    Ignoring the eyes of others, Zhang Hao sprinted across the field at full speed?Maybe it¡¯s because it¡¯s too easy to beat Dell Curry, Kobe¡¯s pull-up jumper is great!

    Jason Williams guarded the defensive rebounds, Zhang Hao reached the frontcourt to catch the ball and broke through, facing McGrady's defense, he made an emergency stop and hit a long two-point shot!

    As Zhang Hao expected, McGrady played so hard on both offense and defense in the first half. Although I don¡¯t know what happened to McGrady, he was much more excited than before. Maybe it was because Zhang was too happy to meet him, but McGrady played like this  Fa, my physical strength will definitely not be able to hold on.

    Sure enough, after the halftime break, McGrady's defensive enthusiasm was still there, but his defensive intensity dropped a lot.

    Starting from Zhang Hao¡¯s 31 points, Kobe completed all three Bulls offenses, making 1 of 3 shots. The one he scored was a layup from the basket, and the two COSCO shots were all irons!

    The Sonics' offense was also a one-man game - Zhang Hao scored 2 goals in 3 games and scored 4 points.

    56 to 62, the SuperSonics narrowed the point difference to 6 points, Bulls coach Tim Floyd called a timeout!

    Although Tim Floyd is a puppet coach, the time to call timeout is still good.

    When walking to the bench, McGrady came to Kobe: "Kobe, don't think about fighting with him! We want to focus on the team, winning the game is more important, he just wants to stimulate you to play in singles!"

    Kobe wouldn¡¯t listen to other people¡¯s words at this time, but when Tracy McGrady spoke, it was different. Kobe nodded and responded.

    After the timeout, the Bulls replaced Kukoc and Ron Harper in advance, and also replaced Perdo at the center position, replacing the strongest lineup.

    The SuperSonics also made a rotation. Doug Collins followed Zhang Hao's suggestion and put on a defensive lineup, Travis Best, Reuben Patterson, Zhang Hao, Ben Wallace, Rut  Leaf's combination comes on.

    If it was more than three minutes before the game and the Bulls wanted to play a team offense, the Sonics would definitely not be able to defend against it. However, the Sonics put on this lineup and the Plan B duo discussed playing a team offense

    The main reason is that the Bulls coach did not play a role. At this time, even an average coach would have predicted that the Sonics would choose to focus on defense after Zhang Hao soared, but Tim Floyd was used to make things worse.  When choosing Kobe's coach, the Bulls even thought that if only Kobe and McGrady failed to make the playoffs, they could continue to fight for the next high draft pick

    Although Kobe and McGrady have good talents and good tactical skills, they are both too young.

    Halfway through the third quarter, the Bulls called timeout again. Entering the official timeout of the third quarter, Kobe yelled at Tracy McGrady: "The team attacking xxx! The point difference is only two points! That guy scored 40 points! Two points better than ours."  The total is 6 points higher! I want to play singles! I want to score!"

    McGrady nodded and replied: "Then we will play alone!"

    This time, it was McGrady¡¯s turn to listen to Kobe¡¯s words, 65 to 67. Zhang Hao scored 14 points in the half and led the team to a score of 18 to 9 in the half!

 Chapter 454 454. It turns out that one person can score so many points!  (7500 words, please vote for me!)

    Both teams have made personnel adjustments.

    The SuperSonics sent out a combination of Cassell, James Posey, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and Ben Wallace.

    Ben Wallace and Ratliff are both players with stronger assist defense. Of course, they can also defend alone. It is better to keep only one person if they play together, and replace them with Jason Williams to ensure rebounds. Ratliff is worse than Ben Wallace's overall defense is better, but most of the time Doug Collins is more willing to give Ben Wallace playing time.

    The Bulls sent out a combination of John Starks, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Kukoc, and Jelani McCoy to strengthen their frame protection capabilities and outside scoring capabilities.

    After the timeout, players from both teams came on the court. While waiting to serve, Kobe approached Zhang Hao and said, "Do you really think you can score more than Tracy and I combined? Are you kidding? It's just that we weren't ready!"

    "The ball is too hard, the floor is too slippery, the lights are too bright, the shoes don't fit, the fans are too noisy Kobe, are the reasons enough? If not, I can help you think of more reasons."

    Kobe Bryant retreated came to the offensive zone, he was so angry!

    He always thought that his trash talk was very powerful, his mouth was broken, and his sarcasm was powerful.

    The main reason is that he often uses his grades and performance to ridicule his opponents. No matter in junior high school, high school, or college, he is always the best, and he always succeeds.

    ¡° But when I met Zhang Hao, I couldn¡¯t fight for honor¡­ fight for performance¡­ fight for language and organizational skills¡­ I couldn¡¯t win!

    "It must be because he studied for one more year than me. When I start graduate school, he will no longer be my opponent!"

    The game continues, the Bulls attack.

    McGrady sent the ball to John Starks, entered the court, received a return pass from John Starks at a 45-degree angle on the right, and made a breakthrough move. Zhang Hao defended carefully. Suddenly, McGrady took off directly  ¡­

    Zhang Hao reacted immediately, but before he could, McGrady hit a three-pointer!

    After looking at the ball falling from the basket, Zhang Hao silently ran towards the frontcourt.

    It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t know that McGrady¡¯s sudden three-point shot is very powerful, but what¡¯s the use of knowing it?  The first three steps to get close to someone were ridiculously fast, and he was able to get close to him at the beginning of the third quarter. However, after a few more rounds, McGrady began to adjust his physical input on both offense and defense, and it became difficult to defend.

    The Bulls also adjusted their defensive strategy. It was just a matter of discussion among the players themselves. Tim Floyd used the coaching information of Phil Jackson, the Zen master retained by the Bulls, and the basic structure of the triangle offense was ready. In fact,  It can be considered to have a certain ability, but that's it. The rest has to depend on the players themselves.

    Kobe and Tracy McGrady are preparing to attack Zhang Hao directly.

    However, after Cassell advanced to the frontcourt, he came on his own, broke through to close range, faked a move to fly past Jelani McCoy, leaned forward and hit a layup!

    ? 67 to 70, the SuperSonics clenched the score.

    When the Bulls attacked, McGrady received a pass from John Starks and continued to beat Zhang Hao one-on-one.

    Zhang Hao did not press forward just because the opponent scored on a pull-up in the previous round. Only by keeping a certain distance could he prevent McGrady from breaking through. Otherwise, even relying on the "isolated and helpless" lateral movement bonus would be too much.

    McGrady¡¯s performance on the defensive end is basically slightly below average, and he devotes all his energy to the offense. This is caused by fighting too hard in the first half.

    But McGrady is very smart. He reduces the physical investment on the defensive end so that the offensive end can perform better.

    McGrady didn¡¯t hesitate. If the opponent didn¡¯t defend, he continued to attack. There was no hesitation at this time!

    The dry pull is a technique that relies purely on hand feel. There is no dribbling or movement, so it is difficult to find a rhythm. The takeoff and release speed must be fast.

    Obviously, McGrady is no longer in a hot state now. Zhang Hao pressed on him when he took off. He had to take a quick shot. This time he missed a three-pointer!

    Ben Wallace blocked the rushing Kobe, and Jason Williams protected the defensive rebound!

    Kobe¡¯s rush was not completely ineffective. Ben Wallace did not get off the ball quickly. Jason Williams grabbed the ball and was afraid of being intercepted by the defender. He made protective moves and did not release the ball immediately.

    This is the embodiment of defensive awareness.

    The Sonics fell into a positional battle. This time, the defensive strategy discussed by the Bulls players during the official timeout failed again. Zhang Hao continued to run, and Cassel continued to break through John Starks!

    In terms of speed and explosive power, John Starks is better than Cassel, and his defense of John Starks is also top-notch, but Cassel has a great sense of rhythm and still finds gaps to break through and rush forward decisively.

    Kukoc could only extend his defense, and Zhang Hao and Jason Williams cooperated with Cassel's breakthrough.The frontcourt ran out.

    Cassel directly picked up the ball and sent a long pass. McGrady was already trying his best to catch up, but failed to catch up. At 10 minutes and 41 seconds, Zhang Hao made a fast break catch and throw.

    74 points!

    At 10 minutes and 57 seconds, McGrady made a three-pointer without touching the ball. James Posey took it back to grab the ball and passed it to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao made a fast break and entered the basket. This time, both Kobe and Kukoc took it back. Zhang Haoqiang  The sudden inside line caused Kukoc to foul and go to the free throw line. The time stopped at 11 minutes and 02 seconds.

    As Zhang Hao made two free throws, the Bulls called a timeout and replaced the main force!

    There are 58 seconds left, 107 is 10 points behind 117, what a fart!  Tim Floyd didn't want to see the guy on the opposite side add another ten-digit value by 1 for 58 seconds. It was completely hopeless.

    The lineup of Rusty LaRue, BJ Armstrong, Ron Harper, Michael Ruffin, and Dick Simpkins was replaced.

    Both Kobe and McGrady still want to give it a try, what if?

    But Bulls coach Tim Floyd doesn¡¯t believe there is still a chance. Even if the opponent doesn¡¯t score a point in the next 58 seconds, can they still score 11 points in 58 seconds?

    "As long as the guy opposite who scored 76 points is still on the court, you must form a circle around him! Don't give him any chance to cause a foul or shoot!"

    The Bulls players have no emotion now. Tim Floyd's statement is a bit exaggerated, which means that Zhang Hao is not given any chance. This is considered a goal, and the Bulls players can only still be motivated towards this goal.

    However, when the timeout ended, the Sonics took the court with Travis Best, Ruben Patterson, Artest, Ben Wallace, and Ratliff.

    There are still 4 points away from 80 points, Zhang Hao failed!

    After the players from the two teams took the field, Zhang Hao stood up and walked to the player tunnel.

    Feeling the attention of the audience, Zhang Hao turned his back to the court and raised his left hand. When it reached the highest point, he held the four fingers of his open palm, leaving his index finger.

    The players on the field, the fans at the scene, the shots on the big screen, the shots on the live TV screen, what impressed me most about this game was this back view.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s back disappeared from the player tunnel. The referee was a professional. He was the first to break away from this shocking scene and urged the players to continue the game, waiting to get off work.

    In the last 58 seconds, there were no surprisesneither team scored.

    In the end, Zhang Hao made 28 of 41 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, and 15 of 17 free throws to score 76 points, leading the SuperSonics to reverse the Bulls 117-107 at halftime and win their 20th victory of the season!

 Chapter 455 455. Cooking wine and discussing heroes (5000 words, please vote for me)

    Tonight, McGrady suffered the biggest blow since playing basketball.

    When being interviewed after the game, he kept saying: "I don't know what happened, it's just like this. I don't think we played badly"

    Then, he took a bath while humming a song, and finished the physical therapy in a half-asleep state.

    It was past 11 o'clock after finishing the post-match chores, but he didn't see the man he needed now.

    "Where are you going? You left me and ran away?"

    McGrady went to the parking lot first and found that the car was still there, so he went back to the gym and found no one. When he came to the training ground, he saw that the door of the lounge was open and the lights were on.

    McGrady needs Kobe very much now. Yes, he has to use the car, otherwise he can only call his girlfriend to pick him up.

    With a neighbor like Kobe Bryant, whose rookie season salary of $3.83 million is much higher than his third-year salary of $3.26 million, McGrady would not drive his own car out.

    I walked closer and took a look into the lounge. Sure enough, it was Kobe inside, lying on the table writing and drawing.

    "Haven't you already completed your college credits? You don't have to work so hard to take the postgraduate entrance exams. Do you still work hard on your homework after playing the game? Turn your sadness and anger into a desire to learn?"

    McGrady walked in. Kobe looked up at McGrady and continued writing and drawing.

    "Kobe, are you okay?"

    "What can happen to me?"

    "Our combined scores are not as high as Aix's."

    "Don't mention this, I will get angry just thinking about it."

    McGrady looked at Kobe he must be angry, right?

    But compared to his ferocious appearance on the court in the fourth quarter, Kobe, whose jersey is now dry, is quite calm and continues to write and draw with his hands.

    Maddie curiously came up to take a look

    "A guide to getting high scores?"

    McGrady has a question mark on his head, what is going on?

    Was beaten stupid by the stone Buddha?

    McGrady continued to read.

    "Condition 1: Sufficient shooting power is required, preferably unlimited firing power"

    There is a bracket at the end that reads - "Tracy will pass the ball to me, so I don't have to worry about the right to take the shot."

    McGrady didn¡¯t know what to say. He wanted to reply, ¡°You¡¯re right, don¡¯t worry,¡± but he was afraid of disturbing Kobe.

    Continue reading.

    "Condition 2: Super physical strength."

    This time there are no brackets and a yes is written after it.

    McGrady also agrees with Kobe's judgment on his physical strength.

    McGrady is also envious of Kobe¡¯s physical strength.

    ¡°Condition 3: Comprehensive scoring skills.¡±

    This time, there are several subdivided points.

    ¡°1. Top-notch breakthrough scoring ability.¡±

    There is also a yes written behind this.

    McGrady recognized Kobe¡¯s breakthrough scoring ability. Not to mention the top five in the league, compared to the overall breakthrough effect in each game, he felt that Kobe was one level better than him. This still has a lot to do with physical strength.

    "2. The strongest mid-range shot."

    This one is marked with a big x.

    "3. A good enough three-pointer."

    This is also a big x.

    "4. Super scoring stability."

    This one has a y, but it was spent, followed by an x

    Unable to bear it anymore, McGrady asked: "Kobe, are you studying how to get high scores?"

    Kobe responded: "Yes, I didn't expect that one person could score so many points in one game."

    "You want to try? I'll help you."

    "No, I'm not good enough yet, look at this."

    McGrady took Kobe¡¯s small notebook and turned to the previous page, which was an analysis form about Zhang Hao.

    After McGrady finished reading, he choked out one sentence: "It's very detailed."

    "That's not enough. Come and help me study how he did it, and help me analyze how I can continue to improve and also study how you can get high scores."

    ¡°I don¡¯t have to, I just think of ways to pass the ball to you better, it¡¯s just one ball.¡±

    "It's up to you. Don't ask me to give you the ball to shoot when the time comes."

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    76 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

    Zhang Hao scored 60+ points in a single game for the fifth time in his career, and his second 70+ points in a single game set a new personal single-game scoring record, and also set a new single-game scoring record for active players.

    76 points, this score once again detonated the world sports world.

      ¡°Without me, he wouldn¡¯t be able to win the championship, and it¡¯s not worth mentioning.¡±

    "The duo of Kidd and Hardaway? Hardaway only played 30 minutes in each game and already performed as a superstar. Kidd's ability to organize offense is hard to beat in the entire league. He is like a coach on the court."

    "If one doesn't know how to attack and dictates to the coaching staff, he has too much influence on the team's style of play. The coach basically has no autonomy and is arbitrary. If one is content with the status quo and has no enterprising spirit, you can hardly expect them to win in tough battles."  Next game.¡±

    "Duncan and Iverson? They have already won the championship. Duncan now has the reputation of being the number one power forward in history. Many people think he may surpass you. Iverson already won the scoring title last season. If not this season,  The impact of injuries will become your biggest enemy on the road to competing for the scoring title."

    "A third-year player with mediocre talent and no room for improvement, and an ordinary person with overconfidence. I say they were lucky to win the championship. Mr. Barkley, do you agree or disagree?"

    "" Barkley was speechless for a while, then responded: "Okay, I agree. The Buss family sent a championship to the 76ers."

    After thinking about it, Barkley continued to ask: "What about Wallace, Nash, and Sabonis? They defeated you for the first time in their NBA career not long ago. Sabonis also defeated you in the World Championships. Will they excite you next time?  ?¡±

    "We have lost 10 games this year, it doesn't matterWallace is not strong physically, Nash is not good defensively, Sabonis is too old to maintain his condition for many years, I am younger than them, the present is mine, and the future is still mine.  "

    Barkley began to rack his brains to think. It was not that Zhang Hao had to praise someone, but he hoped to get Zhang Hao to make more comments.

    "Hardaway and Mourning? Since they formed a duo, they have been the strongest players in the Eastern Conference!"

    "They are all great, but Hardaway is still old after all, and Mourning drank too much. I am worried about his physical problems. The main reason is that their head coach has problems. Their style of play is different from that of the Cavaliers and Hawks in the playoffs.  There is no difference between the team and it is difficult to make a difference."

    "Miller? He has a good team and a good coach, and he once again reached the top of the Eastern Conference this year."

    "Where's Jordan? He's an opponent that can excite you, right?"

    ¡°He already excited me in the tiebreaker of the Finals three years ago.¡±

    "What about Grant Hill? He was your opponent for the first time in your career, and you have always spoken highly of him."

    "Hill is very good, but his team is not good enough. Have you ever found a problem? After the Pistons' former general manager retired, their operations became worse and worse. Moreover, Hill's style of play was inherently harmful to the body. The Pistons  If you still use him like that, I guess his knees and ankles have already been injured and will not last long"

    There is almost enough topic material, and Barkley is satisfied, but there is still a question: "Akers, apart from Kobe, is there no one who can excite you?"

    Buckley is really curious about this matter. This time it is not to collect topic materials, but to really want to know the answer.

    Who can excite Zhang Hao who looks down on the world¡¯s superstars?

    Zhang Hao shook his head and slowly uttered one word: "No."

    Buckley quickly asked: "Is there someone? Who?"

    Zhang Hao still shook his head: "I said no, you said that Kobe is an opponent that excites me enough. He is not yet, he is still very early."

    "Isn't there enough opponents in the entire NBA to excite you?" Barkley suddenly realized - Zhang Hao was bragging when he said he met an opponent that excites him!

    Almost every big star Starbucks mentioned it, and Zhang Hao said it couldn't make him excited, so he just ignored the matter of "getting 80 points every minute."

    To Barkley¡¯s surprise, Zhang Hao shook his head again: ¡°No, yes.¡±

    "who?"

    ¡°A retired player.¡±

    "Who? Say it quickly!"

    Zhang Hao pointed at Buckley: "Mr. Buckley, it's you. You were an opponent that excited me 10 years ago. Unfortunately, as an old Chinese saying goes, you gave birth to me before you gave birth to me, and I gave birth to you."  I am already an old man and a superstar in the world. It is my only regret that I could not compete with you, Mr. Barkley, who was in your prime."

    This time, even a person as shameless as Barkley called me ÍÍ!

    In this wave of business blowback, Barkley accepted it!

    "Aix, I have also heard an old Chinese saying, heroes think alike!"

    On the last day of every year and the first day of the new year, the league will arrange some popular games to struggle in the middle of the season when the ratings will enter a declining trend.

    Although it doesn't play a big role most of the time, the league has to fight for it. No one can say when a hotly topical game will happen. No, on the 30th, Zhang Hao scored 76 points. This is definitely the best in NBA history.  One of the most classic games and one that is sure to be mentioned many times in the future.

    On the 31st, the last day of the 20th century, the Lakers vs. the Suns, the duel between O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway; the Pacers vs. the 76ers, the revenge battle of the Eastern Conference finals opponents in the past two years.

    Although the game between the Pacers and the 76ers was dull because of Iverson's injury, the 76ers lost to the Pacers 91 to 96. This game was not much to watch.

    But in another game, Anfernee Hardaway played a rare 41 minutes in the new season and scored 44 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. In addition to Kidd's 7 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, the Suns played  Quite a blast.

    But Kidd was beaten by Payton. Payton scored 37 points and 10 assists on Kidd. Coupled with O'Neal's 39 points and 16 rebounds, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Suns 113-109.

    The game is exciting and there are topics of interest to the fans. This is the game the league wants.

    However, on January 1, 2000, a new day arrived, and not many people discussed the game between the Lakers and Suns last night.

    David Stern was dumbfounded as he watched the TV footage of Zhang Hao and Barkley chatting about basketball superstars at the dinner table.

    Originally, David Stern was still upset about why he didn't arrange a year-end battle for the Sonics, but he got some comfort from the battle between O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway last night.

    But now, David Stern is in tears.

    Since Zhang Hao¡¯s second grade, NBA officials have basically not deliberately created topics for Zhang Hao, because the topics they create look stupid and childish in the face of Zhang Hao¡¯s ability to get things done.

    But this time Zhang Hao came back after a year's rest and seemed verylow-key?

    David Stern thought that Zhang Hao might have become more mature after experiencing the retirement crisis.

    ??According to the age when he entered the NBA, Zhang Hao is already in his fifth year in the NBA.

    This makes David Stern a little regretful. The league always praises newcomers and newly emerging players more vigorously than the veteran superstars. Even if the newcomers and newly emerging players are not as good as the established superstars, they will do this. The reason is that newcomers can  There are more topics created, and there is the possibility of more conflicts.

    And like O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway, who have already entered the ranks of veteran players, the topics between them have been fixed, and their relationships with other players have also been fixed for a long time, making it difficult for new topics to emerge.

    But this time David Stern discovered that he was wrong, Zhang Hao was just planning a big move!

    After a crazy performance, Zhang Hao started to cause trouble again!

    "He's back, he's really back, everything is back!"

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao is no longer just a basketball superstar in China, but a superstar in the world of basketball. t.n.t Sports Channel broadcast the complete interview between Zhang Hao and Barkley, causing a sensation in the American sports world. Almost all sports media reported this incident.  , many entertainment media are also reporting on this matter.

    The sports channels and even entertainment channels of many TV stations outside the United States have also forwarded it.

    This incident has attracted widespread attention, even beyond the scope of basketball fans, and has received polarizing reviews.

    In terms of the media, whether they are pursuing or refuting Zhang Hao's views, they are doing their best to expand the influence of this matter and let more people see Zhang Hao's interview, because fans are definitely interested.

    The major media also rushed to the superstars whose names were called by Barkley and evaluated by Zhang Hao.

    The media also did a very good job of expanding the influence of this matter. They not only went to interview the superstars who were mentioned, but also interviewed some who were popular and talented but whose names were not mentioned.

    Some were interviewed, some were not, some responded indifferently, and some had strong words.

    The fans have indeed shown great enthusiasm. The sales of newspapers, the ratings of TV news programs, the discussion among communities, and the frequency of keywords on the Internet all make the major media very excited.

    Zhang Hao has single-handedly created a phenomenon-level topic in the middle of the season, when fans are tired and the NFL playoffs are in power!

    ¡­¡­

    At the home team¡¯s training ground at the Key Stadium, after the morning training, the teammates gathered around the training ground and secretly looked at Zhang Hao who was flipping through the team manual in the lounge. They chatted and waited while watching.bsp; ¡°Annie, please stop making trouble, it¡¯s too dangerous!¡±

    Not understanding, little Annie continued to jump to the ground.

    "If you don't take care of your children, they won't be in danger."

    April passed by and complained strongly.

    Zhang Hao refused: "I am training Diga's body. He is my son and he will become a strong man in the future!"

    ¡°Yes, yes, strong Aix, come and help me take the garbage piled outside to the garbage heap.¡±

    "good¡­¡­"

    In April's eyes-rolling gaze, Zhang Hao reluctantly put little Annie on the carpet, still mumbling: "Annie, be careful, don't fall, don't stand up, just sit on the ground!  "

    "She is less than 10 months old, what can she understand Lelin, come and help look after the younger siblings."

    "Le Lin is here What younger brothers and sisters? These are nephews and nieces!"

    Zhang Hao retorted forcefully: "This is my and your daughter, she is very smart!"

    "Yes, yes, your son is just strong, and your daughter is the smartest."

    "Uh they all seem to be very strong."

    As soon as she was put down, little Annie started to crawl around on the carpet. It seemed that she had endless energy. Seeing this, little Diga followed suit and crawled all over the living room

    All the hard furniture in this living room has been taken away. There are only a few soft sofas and no coffee table. It was just modified for the two cubs to play, so there is no need to worry.

    Zhang Hao helped clean up the mess after today's party, and was about to wash up and continue to amuse his baby daughter. Britney heard an exclamation from Britney's side: "Brother, come and see, something big has happened!"

    Zhang Hao hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"

    "This, this, this"

    Zhang Hao followed the direction Britney pointed which was the TV, and looked at the TV screen

    ¡°åø!¡±

    Zhang Hao directly cursed!

    On the TV screen, there was sports news from the American cable TV station, the battle report of the Bulls' away game against the Clippers.

    The Clippers have currently played 33 games, with 5 wins and 28 losses. There is nothing to watch, and naturally there is no live broadcast. Zhang Hao didn't even notice that there was such a game.

    96 to 83, the game was not very intense, but after the game the game became popular!

    Because of one person¡¯s data!

    Kobe Bryant took 50 shots against the Clippers, breaking Michael Jordan's all-time single-game record of 27-for-49 in the 1992-93 season.

    With 23 of 50 shots, including 4 of 12 three-pointers, and 10 of 11 free throws, Kobe scored 60 points, tying Zhang Hao's rookie single-game scoring record!

 Chapter 457 457. The unexpected spoiler (6000 words, please vote for me)

    "Bryant shot 50 times! That's outrageous! Akers, would you like to try 50 shots?"

    ¡°I can¡¯t shoot that many times, and I don¡¯t need to shoot that many times to score 60 points.¡±

    "Aix, let's have a casual chat first, can you say this again?"

    "I will pay attention next time."

    Barkley thought about it and responded: "Well, don't forget to end the topic slowly next time. I have another question. What do you think of Bryant scoring 60 points?"

    "It's good. Kobe can shoot 50 times. This is also an extraordinary ability. That's an NBA game. It's not like we just shoot 50 times on the training ground."

    "You seem to have always had a very good opinion of Bryant?"

    "Of course, I admire him very much. He missed 27 shots in total. In more than 20 years, only Mr. Jordan missed so many shots in a game. I think it will be difficult for me to do it."

    "I like your answer, but you ended the topic again."

    "Didn't I say you should pay attention next time? Sorry, I wasn't ready."

    ""

    The interview with Zhang Hao, plus small talk, took 3 minutes It took 30 minutes to set up the camera and watch the equipment. It was a perfect interview.

    After finishing the interview, Barkley quickly returned to Los Angeles. On the plane, he had already started analyzing the game between the Bulls and Clippers last night. There was a fierce battle in the afternoon!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    On January 8, 2000, at 3 p.m., the live broadcast of t.n.t sports station started.

    We invited some celebrities and TV commentators who were also celebrities to hold a round table meeting.

    The topic is that rookie Kobe Bryant tied Zhang Hao with 60 points, decisively gaining popularity.

    In the roundtable meeting, 10 celebrities were divided into two groups, which was basically equal to Barkley vs. 9 celebrities.

    When the program was promoted, the show featured "the most fanatical gentleman supporters in the media" vs. 9 celebrities. The people invited were all celebrities who had expressed their dislike for Zhang Hao.

    Most of these celebrities have retired jersey levels and have achieved great achievements, but they are not among the best players of their generation. That is to say, the real top celebrities cannot be invited. As the top players in the past, they are not among the best players of their generation.  They don¡¯t want to offend anyone, and t.n.t Sports doesn¡¯t want to hire those expensive top celebrities. Instead, it hires retired jersey-level celebrities who can use the money to act as their firm stand. They have enough voice and can create a first-class celebrity.  A show with enough conflict.

    The ratings were very high right after the show started.

    Facing 9 opponents, Barkley was not afraid of the stage and took the lead in attacking: "I don't think Bryant's 60 points are valuable. I don't know if you saw it, but he got it with a free throw with 17 seconds left.  The last two points, he didn't do the right thing and he caused problems for other players who had a great rookie season."

    Sam Racilik, the Kings' star in the 1970s, countered: "Charles, I think you are wrong. Bryant can score 60 points by scoring a free throw with 17 seconds left. This is his ability. Even if  You are still scoring in garbage time. Charles, you were once the top scorer. Even if you kept shooting in garbage time during your rookie season, could you have scored 60 points?"

    Barkley responded calmly: "I didn't say his 60 points were fake. I couldn't do it. I was talking about another problem. He has caused trouble for other past rookies and future rookies.

    Originally, 50+ points in a single game was considered a historic performance by a rookie. Even if Akers scored 60 points in a single game during his rookie season, it would still be the only one. It can only be said that Akers is the only one who surpasses the first level. Other historical rookie performances  It's still 50+, and it didn't have much impact on other rookies who scored 50+ points in a single game.

    But it was different after Bryant also scored 60 points in this way. What do you think of Chamberlain, Baylor, Barry, Monroe, Hayes, McCann, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Iverson in a single game during their rookie season?  Which one is better, a 50-point performance or Bryant's 60-point performance in a single game?

    In the future, if a rookie scores 50+ points in a single game, it will not be so special. But we all know that in fact, a rookie scoring 50+ points in a single game is already very special. But as time goes by, people will definitely only remember Ike.  Si and Bryant, this is unfair to the performance of the top rookies in the past, and it is also unfair to the rookies who have the ability to score 50+ points in the future.  "

    It¡¯s reasonable and well-founded, this damn fat guy¡¯s logical thinking is so clear!  The other nine celebrities all applauded silently in their hearts.

    But after all the money was collected, Bob Lanier, who retired his No. 16 jersey with both the Pistons and Bucks, still stood up and refuted: "Charles, let's not talk about the people in the past. You will feel for the rookies in the future.  It¡¯s not fair. They must also feel it¡¯s unfair.?? 

    From the time he scored 76 points on the 30th of last month to now, two weeks have passed, and Zhang Hao is obviously more popular than Carter, who amazes the world with his dunks!

    However, something unexpected happened that Zhang Hao had not expected

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    By January 13th, Zhang Hao relied on his 7-game winning streak and 17 triple-doubles to reach the 11th place in the history of triple-doubles in a single season. He was just one step away from the 10th-placed Lakers legend Magic Johnson¡¯s 18 triple-doubles.  It¡¯s only one time away, and the limelight is the same.

    But, at night, the big event happened

    Kobe Bryant once again started throwing wildly against the Celtics!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? apart from 47 shots.

    ?? 16 of 47 shots, including 2 of 14 three-pointers, plus 10 of 12 free throws, Kobe only scored 44 points in 47 shots, and the Bulls also lost to the Celtics 83-87!

    He hit 31 irons wildly, surpassing Jordan's single-game record of 27 irons since the modern basketball era began in 1976. It also broke Kobe's personal single-game record of 27 irons just set not long ago, dominating the current single-game iron game.  Top of the list.

    The last time he tied Jordan with 27 irons, Kobe was generally praised. He managed to score 60 points on 50 shots. But this time, he scored 44 points on 47 shots. Kobe was so scolded that he didn¡¯t even dare to show up for interviews!

    ¡­¡­

    I have nothing to write about during the day today. On Saturday, the boss introduced his sister¡¯s classmate to a blind date with Xiaofeng. He had no choice but to go. It¡¯s so embarrassing at this age. Even his colleagues wanted to help Xiaofeng introduce his girlfriend.

    But she is a 20-year-old girl who is just a sophomore in college and has no common language

    I came back from watching a movie in the evening and quickly wrote a chapter. Today is only 6,000 words. I¡¯m tired, so I¡¯ll rest first. I¡¯ll try to write more tomorrow. Then I¡¯ll take a shower and go to bed. Good night.

    Seeking a wave of monthly tickets, I wish that there are lovers in the world who have been lost for many years  No, it is a dependent.

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 458 458. Mid-season deal (5000 words, please vote for me)

    "Can you gain fans by breaking records? Are the fans of this generation toxic?"

    "Brother, is this a new way to gain fans? Brother, should you try it too? Lelin cheers for brother!" Little Lolita's suggestion was very constructive.

    Yesterday, the SuperSonics defeated the Spurs in a thrilling 91-85 home game.

    Zhang Hao scored 17 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. His personal shooting performance in this game was very poor. He made 7 of 20 shots and only shot 35%. However, his teammates were strong, especially Schrempf. In the end,  In 1 minute and 33 seconds, Zhang Hao added 3 assists, made all 3 open three-pointers, and scored a game-high 25 points in a single game.

    Zhang Hao will not force the ball. He will pass the ball when it is time to pass it. He is not stupid.

    With a triple-double in this game, Zhang Hao¡¯s number of triple-doubles this season increased to 18, officially breaking into the top ten in NBA history for triple-doubles in a single season, tied for tenth with Magic!

    Today, the morning of the 15th, the magician congratulated Zhang Hao on this great achievement in an interview and hoped that Zhang Hao would continue his current momentum.

    So far, in the NBA single-season triple-double rankings, the first is Big O's 41 times, the second is Chamberlain's 31 times, the third and fourth are both Big O's 26 times, and the fifth is Chamberlain's 21 times.  , 6th to 9th are also big O, 1 time 20 times, 3 times 19 times, and 10th place is tied with Zhang Hao and the magician, 18 times.

    In the first 12 years of Magic's career, except for the second year when he was seriously injured because he was forced to switch to power forward and only played 37 games, he had more than 10 triple-doubles in each of the other 11 seasons. Big O is different from Magic.  He had 181 triple-doubles in his career, 180 of which were concentrated in the first 7 years of his career. In the next 7 years, he changed his style of play and almost never got a triple-double again, and finally won the championship.

    Among the top 10 single-season triple-doubles in NBA history, Oscar Robertson dominates 7 of them.

    But now Big O's rule is destined to be broken. Zhang Hao, who is only 23 years old, has already scored 18 triple-doubles in 37 games. The possibility of breaking 41 triple-doubles is still relatively low, but the rush  It is still very possible in people's eyes to beat Chamberlain's 31 times.

    Relying on this past eight-game winning streak and increasing the number of triple-doubles in the season to 18 times, Zhang Hao is indeed in the limelight.

    At 9 a.m. on January 15th, the NBA officially announced the All-Star votes for another period after the voting ends at 12 noon on the 29th and ends at 12 noon on the 14th.

    With 133 votes, Zhang Hao defeated Carter with 125 votes, completing the lead. When the second round of votes was announced, he was temporarily ranked as the All-Star vote king!

    But the third place was beyond Zhang Hao¡¯s expectation. It was not Jordan, who was previously ranked third, but Kobe Bryant with 1.2 million votes!

    The league's operation to support Kobe is obvious, and it specially announced the "player with the fastest increase in votes in the past week" - Kobe Bryant.

    Half of Kobe's current votes, or more than 600,000 votes, were obtained from January 7th to January 14th, and one-third of them were obtained from the evening of the 13th to the noon of the 14th.  , in more than ten hours, Kobe gained almost 200,000 votes, and the momentum was extremely fierce!

    From the 7th to the 13th, during this period, Kobe received 400,000 votes. Although it is an exaggeration, it is still understandable. A rookie scoring 60 points in a single game must be as sensational as possible. Zhang Hao also relied on No. 7 in his rookie season.  He scored 60 points in a single game and was directly promoted to the All-Star starting ranks.

    "Kobe is an American player, so it doesn't matter if he has more momentum.

    But after 31 irons in a single game, the number of votes increased even faster. Zhang Hao and his family were dumbfounded when they saw the news.

    It is very common for fans to follow the trend. Sometimes it makes no sense to follow the trend, but they just think it is interesting and follow the trend.

    "Do all Kobe fans like to watch him play? Do you think this melody sounds good? There seems to be nothing wrong with it

    I thought my opponent was Carter and my co-author was the Little Blacksmith?  "

    ¡­¡­

    Kobe is a very pushy player. He used to be active in the interview booth. However, after scoring 31 irons in a single game, he refused to accept any interviews for a while, and the news reports about him began to become strange.

    For example, I ran to the United Center at around 4 o'clock in the morning, called security, and the security didn't come until an hour later. Then I had a big fight with the security, and finally I bought a gift to apologize.

    For example, he was practicing shooting in the park at 11 o'clock in the night. Because he was black, he was arrested by the police and taken to the police station. When he got to a bright place, the police discovered that it was Kobe and sent him home. The police saw that he had a court at his house and asked him why.  He apologized again for having to go to the park for training in the middle of the night

    The various gestures of apology made Kobe Bryant¡¯s news comment section on the Internet particularly joyful.

    However, because it is all related to "retreat training", Kobe's popularity is rising rapidly.

    But it¡¯s the same as Zhang Hao¡¯s situation back then. While his popularity is rising, the number of black fans is also growing

    Zhang Hao¡¯s team will face the Cavaliers at home on the 16th.??sville.

    The Sonics sent Theo Ratliff and Vernon Maxwell to the Warriors for Mookie Blakelow and Jason Caffey, as well as the Pacers' 2004 top-8 protected draft pick.

    After this transaction was exposed, the evaluations received by the three parties to the transaction were all satisfactory.

    The Pacers sent as many as three first-round picks and traded for Ratliff, which strengthened the current team, but it will have a relatively large impact on future drafts, but it is not bad.

    The Sonics have been under constant scrutiny inside, and everyone knows that they will definitely take the initiative to trade away one of Ratliff and Ratliff in exchange for an experienced veteran point guard who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team for the past six consecutive years.  , coupled with the defense of the point guard line, is in line with the current style of the Sonics.

    In terms of player value, the Warriors sent Mookie Blakelow and Jason Caffey in exchange for only two draft picks from the Pacers that would definitely not enter the lottery, but they used the team's old players  Chris Mullin was brought back. Chris Mullin stated before the start of the season that he wanted to return to the Warriors and retire after his current contract ended. Taking advantage of this deal, the Warriors traded him back.  Got pretty positive reviews.

    ¡­¡­

    "Caffey averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds in 31 minutes per game this season with a shooting percentage of 44%. Last season he averaged 7.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 19 minutes per game with a shooting percentage of 52% playing a rotational power forward is pretty good.  At 203 centimeters and 250 pounds, he is very strong and has strong impact, but it is too difficult for him to be the main force in the starting lineup.

    Blake Lowe averaged 11.8 points, 6.7 assists and 2.4 steals per game this season. Although he is almost 33 years old, his defense is still very good.

    Generally speaking, our signing this time has at least solved the two problems of potential overlapping center positions and weak point guard defense.  "

    After the transaction was completed, in the evening, Zhang Hao went to the boss's office after two hours of defensive training and flipped through the scouting reports of the two teammates who had returned from the new deal.

    Howard Schultz reassured: "Akers, this is good, everyone knows that we will send away one of Theo and Ben, and they are all lowering the price.

    We have been talking to the Trail Blazers for a long time. The Pacers are willing to help us get Steve Smith, but the Trail Blazers have Sabonis themselves. They don¡¯t need another defensive center, and they don¡¯t want to see the Pacers.  One of their title rivals acquired Ratliff.  "

    "I don't blame Larry for not doing a good job. This is already very good. At least he didn't mess around. It continues our team building policy this season and won't affect our style of play. I know I want Steve.  -It¡¯s difficult for Smith, and there¡¯s nothing you can do if you fail.

    But if we can really get Steve Smith, our shooting guard and small forward positions can change from slingshots to sniper rifles It's still my fault, I want to achieve results too much. If I have time, I can take my time and take one year.  Or two years, we will have enough time to wait for Ben to get better and be exposed to more trading possibilities.  "

    "No, this is not your problem, our team got you, of course we have to produce results immediately!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 459 459. Talent explodes the Raptors (5,000 words, please vote for me)

    "Of course."

    "" Howard Schultz was speechless for a while and said, "You actually agreed."

    "Mr. Schultz, you have been hard pressed recently. Our lineup is so complicated, and the trading opportunities are not good. Except for the Pacers, who are in urgent need of reinforcements and are willing to give them the right bargaining chips to compete for the championship, other teams are trying to lower the price, and they must try their best to  The negative impact this reduction has had on the team.¡±

    "You don't know the joy of being a general manager, bargaining with them, rejecting offers, being rejected This is very similar to doing business, but if you really lose money, you won't lose so much money. As long as the offer and return price are unreasonable,  I can just say no without having to think about anything else. I don¡¯t have to worry as much as doing business Wait, I¡¯m the boss!¡±

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know what to say. How does this boss look like a 46-year-old boss who is at the top of his game in the business world?  As long as it comes to matters related to the team, it's like playing a game.

    Zhang Hao finally understood why in the original time and space, Howard Schultz sold the team a few years later, but the man who bought the Sonics promised to keep the Sonics in Seattle but regretted it, and Howard Schultz ran away again.  Going to court to buy the team back ultimately failed and became a sinner in the Seattle basketball community.

    After leaving the arena and returning home, Zhang Hao took out a pen and paper and wrote down the team's latest lineup.

    Point guards: Cassell, Mookie Blakelow, Travis Best.

    Shooting guards: Ruben Patterson, Dell Curry, Corey Benjamin.

    Small forward: Artest, James Posey, Schrempf.

    ? Power forward: Jason Williams, Jason Caffey, Lewis.

    Center: Ben Wallace, Sam Perkins.

    "Perkins and Best will probably be put on the inactive list, or it may be the new Caffey. There is no way, they are too weak, and Lewis is more worthy of training

    It's a pity that we all sent one of Artest and Posey to the Trail Blazers, hoping to replace Steve Smith and slightly adjust the team structure to make the offense and defense more balanced, but the Trail Blazers did not  promise.

    The main reason is that the team that failed to give the right chips wants Ratliff. It is useless for the weak team to get Ratliff. For the weak team, it is not as useful as a center who can run and dunk.

    What is needed are championship-level teams or teams trying to compete for the championship. The 76ers have an explosive interior. The Knicks and Heat have no shortage of interiors. The Lakers, Trail Blazers, and Jazz also have no shortage of centers. Just the Suns.  The two championship teams competing with the Pacers need rim protectors, and the Timberwolves are willing to bleed, but the Timberwolves don't have a good bargaining chip

    Billups is too slow. He only averaged 11 points and 3 assists per game this year. I don¡¯t know when he will grow up. Otherwise, I will bring him back, but it is useless now.

    Otherwise, his waves with the stability of the aliens are all slow -paced dual -controllers 

    Blake Lowe joins, tsk tsk, we now have strong defensive players in five positionsEh?  etc!

    Larry Brown joins the Bulls?  Depend on!  If I had known that Blake Lowe, a second-level defensive point guard, would be able to be supplemented in the end, I would have asked Larry Brown to be the head coach Forget it, the old fox is about the same, he talks better, and he won't let me shoot three-pointers"

    ¡­¡­

    After two days of rest, on January 23, the SuperSonics set off for the icy and snowy Toronto for their third consecutive visit.

    Currently, 10 games have been played in January, and the SuperSonics have a record of 9 wins and 1 loss.

    In the first 10 games this month, the SuperSonics' overall schedule was actually relatively easy. The 4 games in 5 days were a bit brutal, but they were very lucky. They had back-to-back opponents, the Suns and Nuggets, and they easily won.

    Currently, the Sonics have a record of 29 wins and 11 losses, and there are still 5 games left to play. These 5 games will be very difficult. In addition to the Nets, the other four opponents are the Raptors, Knicks, and DoubleClick.  Battle the Lakers!

    The SuperSonics arrived in Toronto, attracting the attention of the entire basketball world - Zhang Hao vs. Carter!

    Although the Sonics currently have 29 wins and 11 losses, not many people think that they really have a 70% winning rate. Many games are really supported by Zhang Hao.

    Because of some reasons, Kassel is habitually ignored by people

    The Raptors have currently played 41 games, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference with 24 wins and 17 losses, and are rising rapidly.

    In the eyes of many people, the SuperSonics and Trail Blazers should be teams of the same level. This prediction is much better for the SuperSonics than the prediction at the beginning of the season. Before the start of the season, many people thought that the SuperSonics  The Sonics should be like other rebuilding teams. If they can't even make the playoffs, they will suck first.Treve was not traded away, and the Sonics' lineup is difficult to compare with the Raptors.

    But the record is that the Sonics are better. The first reaction of the fans in front of the TV is that Zhang Hao is too strong!

    Zhang Hao, who was on the side of the center line, looked at the Raptors' lineup and was under a lot of pressure, but he was used to it. Since the beginning of the season, it has been quite difficult for them to beat any opponent that can reach the playoff level.

    But Ben Wallace is very excited now. It is obvious that the team traded Ratliff because they took a fancy to him!  Consider him the future of the team's center position!

    At 5 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Ben Wallace quickly bounced up and beat Antonio Davis to win the jump ball. The Sonics took the lead.

    When Zhang Hao reached the highest point of the ball and allowed it to cross the center line and go to the opposite half, he immediately rushed towards the frontcourt. Ben Wallace did not disappoint him.

    But when Zhang Hao came to the left side of the free throw line and received Cassel's pass, he was caught up!

    Odom!

    Zhang Hao caught the ball and turned around but failed to get rid of Odom. The retreat space was blocked by Antonio Davis who recovered. Zhang Hao sent a lob. Ben Wallace cut in the middle and dunked for two points!

    "Lamar Odom, 20 years old, 208 cm, 100 kg, ability evaluation 83 (?) 88 speed, 89 strength, 87 jumping, 95 flexibility, 93 ball control averaged 13.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.1 per game  Assists, 1.2 steals, 1.4 blocksshooting rate 46%three-point shooting rate 36%"

    Amazing talent!

    The Raptors failed to stop the Sonics from their first attack, but at least they did not allow Zhang Hao to hit the basket and complete a wonderful goal. Zhang Hao's huge influence on the morale of the entire team was feared by opponents.

    Antonio Davis went in and picked up the ball and sent it out. The person who received the serve and advanced it wasOdom!

    Odom advanced to the frontcourt and organized the attack from the top arc.

    The Raptors' offensive space is very wide. Damon Stoudemire, who shoots 37.7% of the three-pointers and averages 1.6 three-pointers per game, is in the left corner. Antonio Davis has the ability to make mid-range shots.  Drive to the right baseline, Doug Christie is at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Carter is standing on the left side of the free throw line.

    Zhang Hao pressed towards Odom, trying to press and steal, but Odom protected the ball very well, and suddenly took half a step back to change direction Zhang Hao couldn't stop Odom from controlling the ball, and Odom changed direction.  Xiang also failed to get rid of Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao's first step laterally was very fast and his confrontation was better than Odom's.

    At this time, Carter started to move and lifted up the line. Suddenly, he turned around, passed Artest who was defending him, and rushed into the basket. Odom quickly released the ball, and Carter took off from the left sideline of the three-second zone!

    Ben Wallace took back the basket in time and rushed towards Carter

    "ßÑ"

    Carter smashed the ball into the basket through Ben Wallace!

    "I'm so proud"

    Zhang Hao couldn't help but burst out!

    The fans at the scene cheered wildly!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 460 460. What you should bear is always unavoidable (5000 words, please vote for me)

    Ben Wallace has done a very good job in this defense. He received the position in time, took off without hesitation, and faced head-on confrontation. After more than three months of the season, the basic defensive skills have gradually taken shape But  Still, Carter smashed the ball into the basket.

    Carter¡¯s bullet speed is faster and his bounce height is higher. The key is that he is too strong!  It's really as fast and fierce as Michael Jordan in the early stages of his career!

    Even as an opponent, you have to admit that this dunk was too cruel!

    Looking at the replay, the moment Carter and Ben Wallace faced each other in the air, it seemed like they paused in the air, and then Carter still struggled to smash the ball into the basket.

    And instead of just forcing the ball into the basket, the movement is still smooth and almost perfect!

    The referee was shocked. The whistle was delayed for more than a second before it sounded. Carter's dunk was valid and there was an additional penalty!

    Carter was very stable when he landed, and the cheers at the ball were even more manic. He made a motorcycle-riding celebration and ran out of the basket to celebrate with his teammates.

    "Vince Carter, 23 years old, 198 cm, 99 kg, ability evaluation 91averaged 39 minutes per game, 26 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game"

    ¡°Slam Dunk Contest Preview:

    Zhang Hao needs to respond to every dunk: 1 time, and needs to respond to wonderful dunk: 0 times"

    Glancing at Carter, who was celebrating with each of his teammates by high-fiving, Zhang Hao said to Ben Wallace, whose face was full of shock: "Ben, just take a photo of him when he rushes in!"

    "Huh? This"

    Zhang Hao¡¯s voice was very low, but his voice was not quiet at all.

    Carter turned his head quickly like a roe deer, not afraid of his neck being hit.

    ?????????? These two people are they whispering?

    Looking at Ben Wallace¡¯s shocked expression, Carter looked at Zhang Hao, where is the brother he promised?  Are you going to kill me if you are a brother?

    "I didn't ask you to hurt his body, so you slapped him in the face. The slap in the face is not very harmful, but it is insulting enough to severely hurt his soul!"

    "Oh! I understand!" Ben Wallace nodded seriously.

    The referee at the bottom line quickly raised his whistle and wanted to give a technical foul to one of the two people. Zhang Hao quickly said: "Sir, I was just scaring that guy!"

    So that¡¯s it, the referee put away his whistle, and Carter also breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Ah? Boss, are you just scaring him?"

    This time, it was Zhang Hao's turn to look at Ben Wallace like a roe deer. Ben Wallace shrank in fear and hurried to the opposite side, preparing to grab the free throw rebound.

    Carter was surprised by these two people. The extra penalty actually hit the basket. It was a serious kind of thing, that is, it was completely impossible to make a free throw.

    Ben Wallace grabbed the defensive rebound that bounced to the left side of the basket and passed it to Cassel.

    Everyone feels that Ben Wallace is one-dimensional, but just now Zhang Hao received a wink from Ben Wallace

    "After hanging out with World Peace for a long time, I have become a little more narrow-minded. I really didn't expect that the two of them could actually play together."

    Unlike the Raptors' brisk positional warfare offense, as long as the Sonics fall into a positional warfare, the pace is slow.

    Zhang Hao arrived in the frontcourt and began to look for opportunities to cut into the frame, but unfortunately there was no opportunity at all. He pulled out and asked for the ball to break through in singles. Odom defended really well and almost never lost his position. Zhang Hao rushed to the area below the free throw line on the right side, with his back  Odom, turned toward the baseline and retreated Antonio Davis jumped out from the basket in advance to attack, Zhang Hao split the ball in the middle, Cassell circled the pile in the high post, cut in the middle, caught the ball and made a throw.

    Cassell made the shot, but the Raptors did not stop and quickly served. Odom received the ball and advanced quickly, and the rhythm continued to accelerate.

    Zhang Hao discovered the opponent's intention and immediately pressed towards Odom to slow down the opponent.

    Odom quickly released the ball, and Damon Stoudemire received the ball and advanced quickly. The Sonics had high requirements for retreating, but Cassell really couldn't keep up with Damon Stoudemire's speed.  Got passed!

    Damon Stoudemire rushed to close range and was flanked by Ben Wallace and Artest. Zhang Hao caught up with Antonio Davis who followed up, and Damon Stoudemire scored the ball.  Carter, Carter was about to take a step to close range and jump directly to try for a dunk he was almost intercepted!  Cassel defended in time!

    Single defense is not good, but Cassell's supplementary defense and assistance defense are very good, but the speed cannot keep up, so the golf businessman comes to make up for it.

    But Carter¡¯s reaction was beyond Cassel¡¯s expectations. Carter turned around deftly, jumped one step away from the free throw line, and shot

    The basic skills are very solid, but it¡¯s a pity that Carter¡¯s CIC is a bit hasty.

    Zhang Hao stopped himbsp;¡­¡­

    After the timeout, both teams rotated. The Raptors sent out a combination of Bogues, Doug Christie, Carter, Odom, and Charles Oakley. The biggest rotation was the point guard. The intention was obvious.  Use Boggs to complete steals and attacks.

    As for the Sonics, Doug Collins was originally going to step up the offense, but Zhang Hao said, "I'll score." Doug Collins immediately switched to a defensive lineup, with Mookie Blakelow and Reuben Pat.  The combination of Sen, James Posey, Jason Williams and Zhang Hao came on the court.

    The SuperSonics attacked, Mucci Blakelow advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Zhang Hao at the top of the arc.

    ¡°The host uses the 81-point contract, and the only designated target is: Zhang Hao. In this game against the Raptors, when Zhang Hao¡¯s personal score is lower than 81 points, he will continue to enter a hot state.

    Temporary Medal: Peter Pan¡¯s Stamina Pool (Gold)

    Peter Pan's stamina pool (gold): If the player needs to take a moment to slow down after every full-out attack and defense, he can pick up the jersey collar, which will quickly alleviate the impact of the periodic decline in stamina caused by strenuous exercise at that time; when the stamina  When the situation is not enough for the player wearing it to perform at his best, he can pick up the collar of the jersey to absorb the sweat, and his physical condition will quickly return to a level where he can attack and defend with all his strength.  "

    Zhang Hao received the ball from the top of the arc and leaned against Odom. The Raptors defense had begun to move. Carter directly let Reuben Patterson pass and moved to the top of the arc to flank Zhang Hao.

    To avoid being knocked down, Zhang Hao decisively turned around and took a step forward. He did not get rid of Odom's defense, but still took advantage of a little distance to jump decisively, raised the ball, and shot a three-pointer

    ?Catching the ball and shooting quickly and turning around are of course push shots, but with defense, naturally they are straight-arm shots!

    Usually Zhang Hao rarely shoots singles from outside the three-point line because he is not very accurate in straight-arm three-pointers. He is always used to push shots when things happen in a flash, and straight-arm shots are not as easy to find as push shots.  It feels accurate, even if you prepare a straight-arm shot in advance.

    But this time it was different. When Zhang Hao lifted the ball and threw it hard, he felt very good!

    The arc of the ball was very flat, and with a little more force, it rubbed the inside of the back edge of the basket and fell into the frame!

    Odom and Carter were sighing at Zhang Hao's strength when an emotionless voice reached their ears.

    "Lamar, Vince, please work hard to score. You must work very hard and do your best so that I can be happier and don't let me down"

 Chapter 461 461. A miracle comes!  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    This is provocation?

    But both Odom and Carter could tell that Zhang Hao was saying this very seriously and really hoped that they could play better!

    That plain tone is full of sincerity!

    Doug Christie saw Zhang Hao talking to the two core players of the team, and immediately called out to his teammates: "Plan Aix! Defense must be tight! Don't give him a chance!"

    Doug Christie is the Raptors' best defensive player, and has a higher probability of being selected for the All-Defensive Team than Antonio Davis. He is one of the Raptors' on-court defensive commanders.

    The famous villain Charles Oakley also echoed: "Yes, we must be compact. Although we have the advantage of strength, we cannot be careless at all!"

    Carter and Odom were a little confused. Didn't they just hit a three-pointer?  Zhang Hao has only scored 6 points now. Why are these two defensive giants so nervous as if Zhang Hao has already scored 60 points?

    Soon, Odom and Carter understood what Zhang Hao meant and why Doug Christie and Charles Oakley were so nervous.

    In the next 5 minutes of the first quarter, Zhang Hao scored 7 points and 1 assist, helping the SuperSonics score 11 points!

    In the first half of the first quarter, the Sonics only scored 10 points, but starting from Zhang Hao's three-pointer, Zhang Hao scored 10 points in the last five and a half minutes of the first quarter!

    The Raptors did a really good job on defense. Doug Christie targeted the SuperSonics point guard. Oakley assisted in guarding Zhang Hao + guarding cuts. The dedicated version of Odom did a great job in guarding Zhang Hao's singles from mid-to-long distances. Even Borg  The characteristics of being flexible and small were used very well by Lenny Wilkens. He cut off the players to pass and receive the ball very well. It can be said that the rule of early double attack violation was cancelled, and Lenny Wilkens  Si's team defensive command is so advantageous.

    The coordination on the offensive end is also excellent. Without Zhang Hao defending in the top arc, Odom or Carter organizing the offense in singles from the top arc, the Sonics couldn't guard them. Artest was played by Odom, and James Poe  Neither West nor Reuben Patterson could guard against Carter's sudden bursts and pull-up jumpers.

    But Odom¡¯s defense is already very good, sometimes forcing Zhang Hao to change his shooting style. Zhang Hao often needs to lift the ball straight.

    But, even so, Zhang Hao also made 3 of 6 shots after making the three-pointer, and 1 of them was still 2+1!  That is, five and a half minutes after the first quarter, Zhang Hao scored 10 points on 4 of 7 shots!

    After the first quarter, Zhang Hao scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, helping the SuperSonics hold on to a tight score of 24-28!

    Most of the time, it is not a good thing for a team to rely too much on one player.

    But more often than not, it¡¯s better for a team to have a player it can rely on than nothing.

    SuperSonics players often feel powerless. They do a good job of defensive cooperation, but the offensive end always lags behind. Even with Zhang Hao leading the way, there will always be times of frustration. At this time, Zhang Hao needs to play better.

    Today, in the first half of the first quarter, we started with a 6-2 lead, but were quickly beaten 12-4. There was definitely a sense of frustration.

    But one person behind Zhang Hao withstood the opponent's entire team's attack, and the excitement he brought to his teammates was far stronger than the frustration!

    "Boss is playing so well, we must do our best to help him! Although our opponents are stronger, we have the best players in the world!"

    ¡­¡­

    Still leading by 4 points, but entering the break, the Raptors bench was even more nervous than during the official timeout in the first quarter.

    He made 5 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws to score 13 points. Zhang Hao's performance in the first quarter against a tight and restrained defense gave the Raptors  The pressure was too great.

    Even Carter couldn't care less about the "shooting duel" or "dunk duel" at this time. Thinking of what Zhang Hao said after the official timeout, he rarely felt extremely unwilling.

    Back from the break, for the Raptors, Carter and Odom continue to play, Doug Christie, Antonio Davis, and Charles Oakley play, Carter moves to the shooting guard position, Odom this lineup,  Just play point guard.

    Maximize your defensive strength!

    For the SuperSonics, the combination of Cassell, James Posey, Artest, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace came on the court. James Posey and Artest played together, obviously intending to take turns defending Odom.  .

    After the start of the second quarter, the scene of the two teams attacking was very interesting.

    At 208 centimeters, Odom is the tallest player on the court for the Raptors, but he controls the ball from the moment he receives the serve.

    Zhang Hao claims to be 206 centimeters tall, which is a little taller than Odom. Although he didn¡¯t start from controlling the ball.??The fans have long since collapsed. Many fans can't stand it anymore and want to leave, but with this scene they can't bear to leave!  Even if the opponent players do such a thing, they are reluctant to leave!

    Seeing Zhang Hao being surrounded by other members of the Sonics, the Raptors players were stunned for a while and then quickly fled the scene. The fans at the scene originally wanted to leave quickly, but many people stayed, except for a few Chinese-Canadian fans.  , the Chinese fans had already started cheering crazily, and now, those who stayed also spontaneously applauded and cheered!

    Even if this is their opponent, tonight, they cannot attack Zhang Hao with any words. They are really defeated!

    A miracle!  They saw the miracle with their own eyes!  Even if you are not a fan of Zhang Hao, you feel that you have reached the peak of your career as a fan!

    ? 33 of 50 shots, including 8 of 13 three-pointers, plus 12 of 12 free throws, soaring 86 points!

    The northern border has fallen!

    The away fans were impressed!

    The old Raptors players left the court as if they were running away, but several young players hid in the dim tunnel and secretly looked at Zhang Hao, who was still on the court celebrating with his teammates for a while and was about to be interviewed.

    Frustrated and wanting to cry, these are the emotions of Carter, Odom, and Damon Stoudemire.

    But their strongest emotions are not unwillingness and anger, but¡ª¡ªshock!

    This kind of shock made them recall that when they recalled the game that just ended, there were really not so many negative emotions. A collective thought could not be dispelled in their hearts - this damn thing actually fell on me!

    I took 50 shots and made 33 goals. Out of the 50 shots, at least 70 of them were difficult shots. Even leaving aside counterattack scores, at least half of these 70% of difficult shots were scored. This feels ridiculously good.  .

    We are all professional players, and we know that even someone as strong as Zhang Hao cannot have such a feeling at all times.

    That means they just met!

    It¡¯s so unlucky!

    ¡°I am actually lucky enough to experience such a game.¡±

    Such thoughts will inevitably appear in the minds of the opponents Raptors players.

    but¡­¡­

    "Is it possible that when people mention me in the future, they will mention 58 when mentioning Iverson"

    Carter felt so desperate He scored 13 points in the first half, 21 points in the second half, and 33 points in a single game. He performed very well. In addition to 33 points, he also had 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.

    Odom also had 21 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

    But compared with Zhang Hao, it¡¯s just amazing!

    ? 86 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks!

    The SuperSonics players on the field were even more shocked!

    In the fourth quarter, other Sonics players took 11 shots, one less than Zhang Hao, and scored 12 points, which was not bad.

    But the Sonics players really didn't want to take action in the final quarter, and they all wanted Zhang Hao to shoot, but there was no way. Zhang Hao had two people going forward without the ball. Most of the time, he could only rely on counterattacks and crazy runs to catch the ball, turn around and shoot three-pointers.  To score, otherwise there would be no chance to catch the ball and shoot. They directly advance with the ball. The Raptors started to attack from the midline to prevent Zhang Hao from starting up.

    But even so, Zhang Hao once again scored 28 points in the final quarter

    With 86 points in a single game, as a teammate, the Sonics players feel that their career is worth it!

    Today, the person who got the opportunity to be interviewed after the game was Bill Walton, the commentator of Time Warner Cable Sports.

    "Akers, you scored 86 points. I knew you had to leave the Lakers to fully unleash your abilities. How do you feel now?" Bill Walton will never let go of the Black Lakers if he has the opportunity.  thing.

    Goal 3: After completing goals 1 and 2, at the end of the game, Zhang Hao must publicly state that no one knows how to dunk better than him.

    Congratulations to the host for the reward: 1 piece of King of Understanding (*).  "

    Zhang Hao was also very excited at the end of the game. He got this card again. He was even more excited. Now he gradually calmed down and responded: "86 points That's a lot, but Vince and Lamar are too good. I don't think so."  If we kept shooting, we might not be able to beat them, so I tried, but I couldn¡¯t control the scoring at all. If the whistle was tighter, I might have scored more points.¡±

    "Do you think the referee's call tonight was unfair?"

    "Mr. Wharton, what do you think?"

    "I only got 12 free throws. I also think there is a problem. Do you feel sorry?"

    Zhang Hao turned his head and looked diagonally upward, and responded: "It's okay, you know, I'm not interested in scoring.

    Someone suggested to me before that I try shooting 50 times. I wasn¡¯t interested at first, but I gave it a try this time. Sure enough, I didn¡¯t need 50 shots to score 60 points. 50 shots was too many and I scored too many points.  It scares me a little.  "

    Bill Walton also had the urge to fightbut he still had to bite the bullet and asked: "Will you try to hit 100 points?"

    Why is this still a problem? Zhang Hao was about to emphasize once again that he was not interested in scoring suddenly an idea occurred to him.

    "Ah, I will give it a try. Taking advantage of my recent good form, I will try to shoot a few more shots in the next few games. Maybecreate 101?

    &nbsA team of 6 people.

    Ewing has maintained a good level and attendance rate this season, averaging 15 points, 9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 32 minutes per game.

    The Madman, who was at his peak, averaged 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

    Although they lost Charles Oakley, the addition of Kurt Thomas and Camby allowed the Knicks to continue to remain competitive.

    Chris Childs is aging seriously. Fortunately, Charlie Ward has grown up. He averaged 7.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 27 minutes per game. His performance is very good.

    Star star Alan Houston averaged a career-high 20 points per game, shooting 49% from the field and 43.6% from three-point range.

    A team with a good record, good player performance, outstanding performance in the playoffs in the past three seasons, and a team that is considered to have the potential to break through the Eastern Conference and reach the finals, actually saw most of the fans cheering for their opponents at home, wanting to  See your opponent continue to perform miracles.

    In the past few years, the Knicks have been one of the most stable teams in the league, and the core lineup has always changed relatively little.

    ?Four years ago, they personally experienced Zhang Hao's miracle for a rookie. At this time, the Knicks players were more nervous than any other team.

    Trying to create 101, as long as they have played a few games in the NBA, almost no one will come up with such an idea, but the 23-year-old No. 24 player may really be able to do such a thing!

    Cast 50 times!  This is the modern era of basketball!  When Kobe shot 50 times, the world was already shocked. Zhang Hao actually also shot one and scored 86 points.

    Soon, at 5:30 in the evening, the Sonics' away game against the Knicks started.

    There were still some doubts at first, but after Zhang Hao threw 14 times in the first quarter and made 6 of 14 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws to score 18 points, the Knicks' doubts were completely dispelled.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s shooting percentage in the first quarter was not very good. The referee gave a whistle for this game, otherwise it might have been 6-for-17. The Sonics only scored 23 points in the first quarter.

    But this is Zhang Hao!  The Knicks don't dare to let Zhang Hao continue to shoot. What if the touch comes?

    From the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Hao encountered unlimited attacks and began to be "forced" to pass the ball.

    Just the threat messed up the Knicks' defense!

    The defensive end was in chaos, and the Knicks' overall rhythm was affected.

    Whenever the Knicks try to adjust, Zhang Hao starts to ignore the situation Although the shooting percentage is not very good, it is not far behind. There are quite a lot of whistles tonight.

    Zhang Hao scored 5 points in the second quarter, 10 points in the third quarter, and 8 points in the fourth quarter. In the end, Zhang Hao scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 14 assists, leading the SuperSonics to easily defeat the Knicks 104-95 and win the season.  The 32nd victory!

    The shooting percentage was average, and in the end he only made 14 of 30 shots, but the threat was always very strong, so strong that when he caught the ball, he immediately covered himself with big men.

    The Knicks have done a lot of things like having too few rebounds and preventing opponents from grabbing defensive rebounds, because Zhang Hao can really counterattack and score.

    After this game, Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring average increased to 32.8 points per game, and his average assists per game returned to 9.6 again!

    Happiness belongs to others.

    The scoring list has been overtaken, and the highest score in a single game by an active player held by a former member of his team is gone.

    Fans of the Lakers, who sit first in the league with a record of 36 wins and 8 losses, now feel that they are worse off than fans of any team!

    Really - Los Angeles Nets!

    When Zhang Hao scored 76 points, the fans in Los Angeles were already furious.

    Fortunately, after entering January, the Lakers have been making great progress and gradually secured their first position in the league. Currently, they have 36 wins and 8 losses, ranking first in the league. They are the only team in the league with less than 10 losses so far.  10-game team.

    Then, Zhang Hao scored 86 points

    Lakers fans thought that Zhang Hao¡¯s 76 points were already invincible, but Zhang Hao said that it was just a warm-up.

    Not only that, the Sonics, who have never been optimistic, achieved a record of 12 wins and 1 loss in January, which is even better than the Lakers' record of 12 wins and 2 losses!

    After defeating the Knicks, the SuperSonics' record became 32 wins and 11 losses, surpassing the 32 wins and 12 losses of the Trail Blazers, and rushed to second place in the Western Conference!

    Now, the only teams with better records than the Sonics are the Lakers with 36 wins and 8 losses, and the Pacers with 33 wins and 11 losses.

    Judging from the number of losses, the Sonics are already second in the league. Everyone thinks that the Sonics can achieve such results because of Zhang Hao!

    So far, Zhang Hao ranks first in the scoring list, fourth in the rebounding list, third in the assists list, third in the steals list, and seventh in the blocks list

    The third game month of this season is almost over, and Zhang Hao has become the top favorite for Player of the Month for the second time!

    In November, Zhang Hao averaged a triple-double in a single month, stealing O'Neal's Player of the Month award.

    In December, Mourning had a rare full attendance. The Heat won 12 of 16 games that month. Mourning averaged 24 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks per game, and won the Player of the Month award. It was O'Neal who suppressed him.

    The second favorite for Player of the Month led the team to a 12-2 record, averaging 31.5 points, 15.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.3 blocks in 14 games, shooting 63% from the field and 75% from the basket.  Even free throws had an outstanding performance of 65%, and it was still O'Neal!

    On January 27, the SuperSonics came to Los Angeles, and Zhang Hao¡¯s several snap shots sparked heated discussions in the Los Angeles sports circle.

    Tomorrow is the 28th and the 30th. The Lakers will first face the SuperSonics at home and then play the SuperSonics away from home.

    Zhang Hao is coming with a wild record of 12 wins and 1 loss in a single month. In the past two games, his state has been extremely brutal. He scored more than 120 points in the two games combined.

    After the game between the Sonics and the Knicks last night, the headline news given by the media was-"Stone Buddha only scored 41 points."

    "I want to create 101", I have already shouted it out.

    Who are you most afraid of?

    Lakers!

    One thing is obvious - Zhang Hao is most motivated when he beats them.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s first 50+ game this season was against the Lakers, and he got out of hand.

    Lakers fans are really confused now. They want to see Zhang Hao perform well, and want to see Zhang Hao soar with their own eyes, but Zhang Hao¡¯s opponent is them

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°Lakers owner Jerry Buss announced that Jim Buss, director of the Lakers¡¯ scouting department, will step down from his position as director of the scouting department and will represent the Lakers in preparing to establish a subsidiary team¡­¡±

    Jason Williams, the Sonics¡¯ number one gossip, found interesting news and read it to Zhang Hao.

    The NBA has finally integrated the affiliated teams that are committed to various semi-professional leagues at various levels.

    As early as 1985, the Milwaukee Bucks took the lead in forming a reserve team, followed by the Bullets, Celtics, and Warriors. So far, a total of 8 teams have reserve teams.

    But none of these teams have played stable games. For example, the Texas Legends, a team affiliated with the Mavericks, have participated in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), the Arizona Tour Basketball Championship, the Southwest Basketball League and even ran to  Virginia participated in the Virginia Cup, some of which were professional games, and some were not even professional games. Players' salaries were not guaranteed, and they only had to take care of food and housing. If they won the game, they might get some bonuses, but if they lost, they would get nothing.

    In the 1998 labor agreement, it was agreed that three years would be used to resolve the problems of subordinate teams. This is also beneficial to NBA bosses. The problems that had been delayed for more than ten years could not be solved. With the funds provided by the league, now  The preparations are almost complete, and the next step is to select the stadium location, sponsor investment, schedule planning and so on.

    The first competition is expected to start in 2001??Part of stability.

    Therefore, Carlisle really didn't dare to say with certainty - "We defend normally, he is scaring us."

    ????????????????? What if Zhang Hao¡¯s normal defense is really missed, and Zhang Hao can¡¯t stop him from scoring 60 or 70 points?  This is a player who can score more than 80 points.

    However, although Rick Carlisle is not sure and the Lakers players are not sure either, they still prefer that Zhang Hao will not choose to shoot high scores.

    After the tactical meeting, the Lakers conducted a 40-minute tactical training session. It was a very light training. The middle of the season is coming to an end, so there is no need to train so much. Resting is the most important thing. It is just that the Sonics' defense is again  Just practiced the offensive coordination.

    After the training, Payton and O'Neal discussed it, took Pierce, and went to the home team's training ground to inquire about the situation.

    "There's no need to go" Pierce felt that there was really no need to go. He just needed to firm up his playing style.

    But he was still dragged to the door of the home team¡¯s training ground by O¡¯Neal.

    Before they could open a crack in the door to peek in, they heard a fierce and cold voice.

    ¡°The ball was just passed to me!¡±

    "There is someone blocking the middle. There must be someone in this position in the Lakers' defensive tactics"

    "Can't you just pass the ball higher if someone is there? If I jump up to catch the ball, who can stop them?"

    after awhile¡­¡­

    "We don't need this tactic. We don't need this tactic. Give me the ball! Give it to me! There are only a few games left before the All-Star weekend. There are only two games left against the Lakers. I must get a high score against them.  !¡±

    After a while

    "We have to run and fight, this lineup has to run and fight!"

    ¡­¡­

    The peeping trio returned to the visiting team lounge. Well, this time, Pierce felt that he might have heard something wrong last time. Payton was not exaggerating, but that Pickley was too far away and did not hear everything.

    Before the teammates left, the three called their teammates to renegotiate how to restrain Zhang Hao, who was in extremely good form recently

    On the other side, Zhang Hao was still "bullying" his teammates. His cell phone rang on the chair beside the court. He answered it twice and said to his teammates: "Okay, forget what I just said and study it carefully."  How to seize the opportunity to score."

    After saying that, Zhang Hao dialed another number: "Jason, the parking lot performance is cancelled. As expected, they came to the training ground to take a peek first"

    ¡­¡­

    At 7:30 pm on January 30, 2000, the SuperSonics played the Lakers at home.

    After the 2 hours and 24 minutes of the game, Zhang Hao¡¯s 21 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks, Cassel¡¯s 22 points and 6 assists, Dell Curry¡¯s 13 points, Artest¡¯s 14 points, Jason  -Williams' 8 points and 10 rebounds, Ben Wallace's 4 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks The SuperSonics defeated the Lakers 101-95, giving the Lakers two consecutive losses and at the same time, they scored 7  Winning streak, record improved to 34 wins and 11 losses!  At the same time, the Lakers' record was pulled down to 36 wins and 10 losses!

    In tonight's game, the Lakers played as messily as in the previous game in the first half, but they had already reacted at halftime, but by then the SuperSonics had led the Lakers by 21 points 60 to 39. Zhang Hao half  11 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists per game.

    In the second half, the Lakers made decisive adjustments and scored 56 points in the half, while limiting the Sonics to only 41 points in the second half.

    But with a 21-point halftime advantage, even though the Lakers won by 15 points in the second half, the SuperSonics also withstood the Lakers' counterattack!

    The Lakers might have lost less than 10 games by the end of the game, but now, just after January, they have lost 10 games!

    Seeing Zhang Hao getting his 20th triple-double of the season and enjoying the crazy cheers of the fans, O'Neal went crazy to the extreme!

    "Big liar! Where is the Produce 101 you promised? The result is only 21 points. Brother, you are a brother, okay? I will never chase the light again! Brother!"

 Chapter 464 464. What on earth are we worried about?  (5000 words, please vote for me)

    With 14 wins and 1 loss, the SuperSonics had the best record in the league in a single month so far this season. As soon as this news came out, my jaw dropped.

    Fans who haven¡¯t paid much attention to basketball or the NBA in recent times, or fans who don¡¯t usually pay much attention to the NBA but have a basic understanding of the NBA structure, have also focused their attention on the current news related to the NBA and Zhang Hao.

    With 34 wins and 11 losses, the Sonics rushed to second place in the Western Conference with a record of 14 wins and 1 loss in a single month, beating the 33 wins and 12 losses of the Trail Blazers, the 32 wins and 13 losses of the Jazz, and even squeezed out the Suns.  Top four in the West!

    Now, only the Lakers with 36 wins and 10 losses have a better record than the SuperSonics. The Pacers, who are first in the Eastern Conference with 34 wins and 11 losses, are only ranked second in the league based on their head-to-head advantage.

    This seems impossible to people, but it really happens!

    Except for Zhang Hao, the strongest player on the SuperSonics team is Cassel, who averages 18.2 points and 6.4 assists per game. The others are either role players, veterans over 33 years old, or rookies.

    Zhang Hao and his teammates were able to barely make it to the playoffs, which was beyond expectations. As a result, after playing 45 games in the regular season, the Sonics ranked second in the Western Conference and third in the league!

    However, what is more exaggerated than the record of leading the team is Zhang Hao's statistics. After 45 games, Zhang Hao has scored a total of 1,462 points, 446 assists, 544 rebounds, 100 steals, and 104 blocks, which is the highest score so far.  , the only player whose five statistics all exceeded 100!

    Averaged 32.5 points per game, beating O'Neal who averaged 32 points per game; averaged 9.9 assists per game, ranking second only to Kidd who averaged 10.1 assists per game; averaged 12.1 rebounds per game, ranking behind Mutombo, O'Neal,  Ranked 5th in the league behind Duncan, Garnett and others; averaging 2.3 blocks per game, ranking behind Mourning, Ratliff, Mutombo, O'Neal, Sean Bradley, David Robinson, Duncan, etc.  Ranked 8th behind players; averaged 2.2 steals per game, ranking 4th in the league behind Eddie Jones, Iverson, and Pierce.

    Since the NBA has detailed statistics, no player has ever been in the top ten in all five statistics!

    The one closest to Zhang Hao is Hakeem Olajuwon in the 1988-89 season, who ranked 10th in scoring, 1st in rebounds, 4th in blocks, and 6th in steals.

    Averaging 32.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 9.9 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, shooting 54.7% from the field, 37.2% from the three-point range, and 87.3% from the free throw line

    In 15 games in January, he averaged 34.6 points per game!  Even if you put aside the 86 points, you still averaged 30.8 points per game. But if you remove that game, Zhang Hao's data so far this season has averaged a triple-double per game!  But even counting that game with only 5 assists, looking at January alone, Zhang Hao averaged a triple-double in a single month for the second time this season!

    This record, this data, at this time, the 76ers on December 30th and the 86 points on January 24th, the buzz brought by these two crazy performances has truly reached its peak!

    Originally, the only thing that was popular was Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring. Now, with 76 points + 86 points, and with the blessing of record and average data, people are now discussing in a different direction.

    In the past, the adjective was generally "strong".

    Now, the adjective is "great"!

    "We play the Jazz tonight, the Suns at home the day after tomorrow, the 5th is still a home game and we will play the Mavericks, the 7th will be an away game against the Suns, the 9th will be an away game against the Spurs, the 11th will be an away game against the Mavericksthe Central West and South West games.  It¡¯s a bit difficult to fight with everyone around! Fortunately, New Year¡¯s Eve is at home on the 5th, and dad should be in Seattle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow"

    At the Delta Air Lines Center in Salt Lake City, Zhang Hao was reading the team manual in the corner of the visiting team's training ground when Schrempf came in.

    ¡°Akers, the league¡¯s live press conference is about to begin, aren¡¯t you going to watch it?¡±

    The day before yesterday, January 30, the SuperSonics finished playing the Lakers at home. They arrived in Salt Lake City yesterday morning. Today is the first day of February. They have to play the Jazz. There is no time to celebrate their best record in the league in a single month.  .

    Zhang Hao responded: "Okay, I understand, Mr. Schramf."

    Watching Zhang Hao put the team manual into his backpack The backpack looks pretty good, but Schrempf is a little confused. Zhang Hao seems to be carrying this bag wherever he goes

    "Aix, does this bag have any special significance? I see you carry it every day."

    "Special significance? No, but this bag is custom-made, the only one in the world, and can't be penetrated by bullets."

    ""

    Although America is a free and democratic country, Schrempf doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s so dangerous!

    Schramf thought for a long time, and only one adjective came to mind - cautious.

    Can¡¯t think of anything else.

    When we got to the lounge, except for the fact that I was injured in my waist, I didn¡¯t go back to West Asia.Already leading Garnett by more than 500,000 votes.

    The most important thing depends on how many votes Zhang Hao has!

    Stu Jackson is becoming more and more like a poor man¡¯s version of David Stern, and he started to boast about Zhang Hao¡¯s performance without stopping, for several minutes.

    "Akers, will you get more than 2.21 million votes?" Jason Williams looked even more nervous than Zhang Hao.

    "Maybe" Zhang Hao was infected by Jason Williams' nervousness.

    It¡¯s time. It¡¯s a lie to say you don¡¯t care. If there is a chance, who wouldn¡¯t care at this stage?

    Kobe¡¯s 2.21 million votes have already broken the record-breaking All-Star voting record of 2.18 million votes created by Zhang Hao in the 1995-96 season. Carter¡¯s second place also exceeded Zhang Hao¡¯s vote count that year by more than 3,000 votes.

    Finally, Stu Jackson started to announce Zhang Hao¡¯s votes after bragging for a long time.

    "Our gentleman, the number of votes he received in this All-Star voting is 3.27 million votes. He once again set a new NBA All-Star individual vote record! He became the first player in NBA history to receive more than 3 million votes.  !¡±

    ¡°åø!¡±

    ¡°blimey¡­¡±

    ¡°forgoodness-sake¡­¡­¡±

    ¡°shxt¡­¡­¡±

    ¡°ganove¡­¡­¡±

    Various curses rang out in the lounge, and all kinds of native language and English slang came out.

    Whether Zhang Hao can once again become the All-Star vote leader, SuperSonics players are very concerned about it.

    There is no doubt about Zhang Hao¡¯s popularity. In his rookie year, even though there were constant controversies and bad reviews, he became the first player to receive more than 2 million votes in the history of All-Star voting in his rookie year and won the All-Star vote king.

    Zhang Hao returned to join the SuperSonics, and he also attracted huge attention.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s shocking performance this season. As a teammate, I know best how good Zhang Hao¡¯s performance is.

    In this case, if Zhang Hao does not become the All-Star vote king, they really feel that they are holding him back.

    But now, seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s vote count, they suddenly realized¡ª¡°What the hell are we worried about?¡±

    3.27 million votes!  This number of votes didn¡¯t give anyone else even the slightest chance!  More than 1 million votes exceeded the second place!

    The TV screen also posted information about the previous largest vote gap. In the 1990-91 season, Jordan led Barkley's 800,000 votes with 1.21 million votes to 410,000 votes, which was already the largest gap before.

    This time, Zhang Hao more than doubled the record for the largest vote margin in history!

    This is another massacre!

 Chapter 465 465. The situation disrupted by one person (6000 words, please vote for me)

    At the Four Seasons Hotel on the Miami Beach, the core members of the Raptors were gathering in Odom's room to watch the All-Star voting results.

    Carter unfortunately lost to Kobe by less than 30,000 votes in the Eastern Conference competition. He received the second-highest votes in the Eastern Conference, which is quite a pity, but he has a good mentality and doesn't care about it. He is happy when he is playing.

    But after seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s vote count, I no longer had any regrets.

    "Haha, Lamar, I'm just saying, Akers must be the top vote-getter, give me the money quickly."

    Although he was not so unwilling to not win the vote, Carter was still very happy to see that Kobe did not win the vote either.

    "You are so happy even though you didn't get the top vote, that's the top vote! Your endorsement fee will definitely increase if you become the top vote winner!"

    Odom reluctantly took out his wallet and took out five 100-dollar bills: "Akers's number of votes is outrageous! Could it be that everyone who voted voted for him?"

    "If there are 5 million people voting, then more than 60% of the voting sheets will have his name written on it." Carter is a real all-around player with good academic performance. He also received a music scholarship for elective courses in college

    Others in the Raptors are also talking about Zhang Hao¡¯s 3.27 million votes, which is amazing!

    Thinking back to more than ten years ago, when they were children and still watching other people playing in the NBA, it was already amazing to see Jordan get more than 1 million votes in history, and the number of votes for the NFL All-Star vote leader was only that.

    But now, Zhang Hao has raised the limit of All-Star vote king to 3 million votes!

    ¡°There¡¯s just one person who¡¯s unhappy, even if it has nothing to do with him¡ªDamon Stoudemire.

    Thinking back to the beginning, when faced with Zhang Hao's 7-game losing streak, Damon Stoudemire could still say it was a problem with the team's lineup. Indeed, in those three years, even when Zhang Hao was with the Nets, the lineup was better than the Raptors.

    But now, his teammates are far stronger than Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao still fights against him He has lost to Zhang Hao 8 times in a row!

    ?Those players who entered the NBA at the same time and were initially regarded as top talents all had the experience of defeating Zhang Hao, even if some only once.

    He is the only one who has never defeated Zhang Hao!

    Not only that, he is now forced to watch Zhang Hao¡¯s shocking All-Star vote win with his teammates!

    Looking at the good atmosphere of my teammates

    You must be motivated!  Although the two core players Carter and Odom are both good at accepting the status quo, they also work hard to make the team better.

    The future is bright, with the core combination of Carter, Odom, and Antonio Davis, coupled with Doug Christie and Alvin Williams the lineup is reasonably matched and the core talent is strong.

    This team still has many advantages, but Damon Stoudemire feels that it has little to do with him. Although he signed a seven-year, $80 million contract extension before the start of the season, Odom is  After scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds in his debut, and not long after posting a triple-double of 30 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists, he began to be marginalized

    "Why are all the players in our class so miserableOh, except for that damn No. 24! It's all his fault!"

    ¡­¡­

    ?Compared to the atmosphere at the Raptors, the atmosphere at the United Center in Chicago is very low

    Like the SuperSonics, the Bulls players are also very concerned about whether Kobe can become the third rookie All-Star vote winner in NBA history.

    Initially, when Kobe Bryant led the Eastern Conference, Bulls players had extremely high expectations.

    ¡°Then¡­there is no more¡­

    After Jordan retired in 1998, the Bulls began to purge players from the Jordan era. Up to now, Kukoc and Ron Harper have also been sent away Although this actually weakened the strength of the lineup when Plan B took over the team.  But the benefits are even greater. Kobe and McGrady go straight to the position without any hindrance.

    But there is also a small problem, and this problem is good most of the time - Kobe's overwhelming sense of oppression can push his teammates forward most of the time.

    But when Kobe was unhappy, the pressure on his teammates was too much.

    McGrady pulled Kobe out of the lounge. His teammates breathed a sigh of relief and the pressure faded away.

    "Okay Kobe, it doesn't matter if you lose this time, you will definitely get more votes than him next time right"

    Kobe glanced at the squinty eyes next to him with the whites of his eyes, and said: "I don't care if I am the top vote-getter, but if the number of votes is lower than him, I feel bad! It's better not to have a chance Why do you think so many people voted for me, but  Why don¡¯t you vote for me as the top vote-getter?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m also curious about how you got so many votes.¡±

    "Really? I actually got more votes than Iverson, Carter, and Jordan. Why?"

    &nThe police were guarding outside the villa. Zhang Hao had reported in advance that he would set off fireworks to avoid scaring the police. He thought there was a gunfight here.

    But the police still come to "protect", which is actually to supervise, just in case.

    The police's high degree of caution is very common in the United States. It's okay for white people. If the police encounter a black man at night, and the black man dares to stretch his hand where the police can't see anything, there is a high probability that he will be killed, let alone hear a crackling sound.

    There were more police patrols in the area where little Loli's house was, so she simply ignored the group of people watching outside and had a great time.

    April also played some fireworks with two lolita, two little Curry, and other children.

    After washing her hands, April came to Zhang Hao, hugging little Diga who was placed on the chair aside, and stood with Zhang Hao who was holding little Annie.

    ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s 12 o¡¯clock, Happy New Year!¡±

    "Happy New Year, wife."

    Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, after secretly kissing her, April said, "Aix, I have some good news for you."

    "What's the good news?"

    "You're going to have a baby again!"

    "Oh, you are going to have a daughter againah! April, you have another daughter!"

    "Um!"

    "Ah! If I had known earlier, I would have taken safety measures that day"

    "You don't want children?"

    "No, you just had a baby last year, less than a year ago. I know it's very dangerous."

    "It doesn't matter, I like children. Aix, don't you feel lonely if you don't have any younger siblings?"

    "Sometimes, maybe"

    "I will too. When I was a child, I really wanted to have younger siblings, but my mother got sick after giving birth to me and could not continue to have children. I want Diga and Annie to be playmates."

    "No wonder Selena likes Dega and Annie so much. They really need to have children early. The children are similar in age and are playmates. The age gap is too big. If there is a 10-year-old child, the younger child will be a burden to the older child.  Think about it, if Anne is 20 years old and has a 10-year-old sister, it¡¯s almost like raising a daughter.¡±

    "That makes sense, then I want to have three babies in five years! It's best if they are all twins!"

    "ThisI will work hard"

    February 6, 2000, the first day of the Lunar New Year, at 12 noon, NBA officials held a press conference, which was still broadcast live on American cable TV.

    David Stern announced the All-Star substitute lineup at a press conference.

    After the announcement, the photos and names of a total of 24 All-Star players from the East and West appeared on the TV screen.

    Eastern team starting: Iverson, Kobe, Jordan, Carter, Mourning, substitutes: Eddie Jones, Alan Houston, Reggie Miller, Tracy McGrady, Mutombo, Duncan, Antonio Davis were selected together  .

    Western team starting: Kidd, Anfernee Hardaway, Garnett, Zhang Hao, O'Neal, substitutes: Cassell, Payton, Stockton, Malone, Nash, Rasheed Wallace, Webber join forces  Selected.

    The SuperSonics have arrived in Phoenix and will play against the Suns for the fourth time this season tomorrow.

    The Sonics players all gathered in Cassell's room. When the coaches of each team voted on the 3rd, the Sonics still had a record of 34 wins and 12 losses. At that time, the Trail Blazers had a record of 34 wins and 13 losses, and the Sonics ranked third in the Western Conference.  Second, Cassell has a high probability of being selected as an All-Star substitute.

    Hearing David Stern pronounce "Sam Cassel of the SuperSonics", his teammates wanted to congratulate Cassell, but when they saw Cassell's face filled with tears of excitement  No need to hug, just send blessings with words.

    Having long been accustomed to people¡¯s reactions when they saw his smile, Cassell didn¡¯t think anything of his teammates¡¯ half-step back.

    He knows that his teammates are sincerely congratulating him. They have worked together in the past three months to achieve such a good record around Zhang Hao. They have basically locked in the playoffs and exceeded pre-season expectations A team on the rise.  , it is always easier to cultivate relationships between teammates. Even if his character cannot make many friends, at least he has a good relationship with his teammates during this period.

    Zhang Hao put his hand on Cassel¡¯s shoulder: ¡°We can go to Oakland to play in the All-Star Game together.¡±

    "Okay!" Cassel showed a warm and innocent smile again.

    There was always a trace of disappointment in my heart, but it was covered up by the huge excitement of being selected as an All-Star. At this moment, Cassel's negative emotions were completely gone.

    "Akers, are you ready to play All-Star?"

    "What else do you need to do to prepare for the All-Star game?"

    "I used to see Olajuwon buying a different style of gold necklace every time he was selected for the All-Star Game. I'm going to buy one too!"

    "Uh Well, I ask for a lot of tickets every time I play All-Star. My wife will save all the ticket stubs. Is this considered preparation?"

    ¡°Wow, that¡¯s so cool! I¡¯m going to keep my ticket stubs in the future too¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­

    In addition to the fact that Cassell was selected for the All-Star bench, the Sonics players were very happy. After the announcement of the all-star lineup, Vice President Stu Jackson announced the rookie game roster, which also made the Sonics players very happy.

    The Rookie Competition was restructured into the Rookie Challenge this year, which means first-year players challenge second-year players, with 9 players per team.

    The first-year team consists of Jason Terry of the Hawks, Steve Francis of the Clippers, Andre Miller and Marion of the Cavaliers, James Posey and Artest of the SuperSonics,  Composed of Elton Brand of the Grizzlies, Lamar Odom of the Raptors, and Szczerbiak of the Timberwolves.

    The second-year team consists of Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Williams of the Mavericks, Pierce of the Lakers, Cuttino Mobley of the Rockets, Mike Bibby of the Grizzlies, and Olowokan of the Clippers.  It consists of Di, Wang Zhizhi of the Kings, Reeve LaFrentz of the Nuggets, and Jamieson of the Warriors.

    After Carter and Kobe were selected as All-Star starters, they took the initiative to apply to the league to withdraw from the Rookie Challenge.

    This makes many fans and many players feel regretful. The rookies in the past two years are simply amazing. Their overall quality is not inferior to that of the rookies from 1995 to 1997. Even other professional players want to see the players from these two seasons play against each other.  of grand occasion.

    Unlike the future Rookie Challenge, which has become a pure play group, the current Rookie Challenge is exciting just looking at the list.

    But the two strongest players from the 1998 and 1999 classes both retired. Although their stars are still bright, it is inevitable that people will feel a little regretful.

    However, after Stu Jackson announced the entry list for the comprehensive event day, the regret was immediately washed away.

    This year, new celebrity games and challenge games have been added.

    A total of 14 people from the entertainment industry, other sports, political and business circles, and other groups were invited who were good at basketball, plus 2 retired NBA players and 2 top stars from the Continental Women's Basketball Association. They were divided into two groups.  team, co-ed, playing in the Masters Game.

    Zhang Hao arrived in Auckland on the evening of the 12th.

    The family had already set off for Los Angeles on the 6th and arrived in Oakland on the 11th. At that time, Zhang Hao went on three consecutive away games with the team.

    Time quickly came to the afternoon of the 15th. Zhang Hao concluded three days of business activities. The Greater Bay Area was much busier than the previous All-Star Weekend business activities.

    At 7:30 pm, Zhang Hao and his team arrived at the Oakland Coliseum.

    In 1997, after the Oakland Coliseum defeated the San Francisco Memorial Coliseum in next door San Francisco to qualify for this All-Star Weekend, it was renovated during the lockout in 1998, spending US$108 million, and the infrastructure was the latest model.

    Warriors owner Chris Cohen looked at the row of people sitting across from the technical table.

    Zhang Hao, April, Britney, Le Lin, Stephen Curry, Seth Curry, Ellie, Wang Zhizhi, Pierce and his son, Pelinka and his wife more than a dozen people sat in three rows, and the first three rows were  The seats in the middle were all occupied, and Zhang Hao returned two tickets to them!

    "Jamil, should I refuse to give them tickets? Next time he comes to beat us, just get angry and let our fans watch him create 101, and also raise the ticket price"

    Warriors general manager Jamil Leaford didn¡¯t know what to say other than laughing.

    Chris Cohen said this. He doesn¡¯t want to be like the Raptors or Iverson. When people think of the Raptors, they think of 86, and when they think of Iverson, they think of 58.

    By the way, 58 Technology is also sponsoring this All-Star, and there is a 58 Technology billboard on the sidelines.

    Opposite the technical stage, in addition to Zhang Hao and his team, top new-generation stars such as Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Duncan, etc. also came to watch the game.

    More players are arranged on the bench on one side of the technical table and behind the technical table.

    From the position of the ticket given by the host Warriors, the difference in status of the players can be seen.

    Soon, the rookies made their debut amidst the host¡¯s introduction.

    ??For some first-year and second-year players, especially some second-year players, they may rarely have the opportunity to be on the All-Star stage in the future. The Rookie Challenge is their opportunity to show their faces in front of audiences around the world.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

    It is different from the original rookie game where the two teams often scored more than 150 to 160 in the rookie game after Jordan selected Kwame Brown two years later and started the "draft talent is king" freshman class.

    At the end of the first half, the first- and second-year teams scored 36 to 35. The second-year players from the class of 1998 were better at attacking, while the first-year team from the class of 1999 was better at defense.

    The score in the second half was also very low. Relying on the key long two-point pass and catch by Nowitzki and Jason Williams, the sophomore team scored 39 to 38 in the second half.

    ? 74 to 74, the first Rookie Challenge went into overtime!

    In overtime, since both teams only had 9 rotations, and there were Marion, Szczerbiak, James Posey, Reeve LaFrentz, Olowokandi and others who were not good at and unfamiliar with  The players cooperated with each other, and the main players of the two teams were very tired.

    At this time, Jason Terry and Brand of the first-grade team showed off their strength and led the first-grade team to a score of 12-6 in overtime.

    In the end, with Brand¡¯s 24 points and 14 rebounds, the first-year team defeated the second-year team 86-80 to complete the challenge and win the first Rookie Challenge MVP!

    ¡­¡­

    The first game between rookies and second-year players was played in teams, and they played very well.

    After the game, all major media were touting how successful this restructuring was.

    In the previous draft, 18 players were selected to play in the game. Although it was also very exciting, the players with strong personal abilities were too scattered. Now only 9 players are selected in the first draft, and the intensity and enjoyment of the game are further improved!  Fans are more excited than watching NCAA March Madness games.

    Some media predict that the future All-Star Weekend and rookie season will be a carnival feast for college basketball enthusiasts!

    Early the next morning, Zhang Hao read the news in the newspaper while having breakfast

    "The first Rookie Challenge is really good to watch, but who would have thought that this would be the pinnacle of the Rookie Challenge? Boss Joe is truly the god of basketball, and has single-handedly shaken the draft pattern of the NBA for nearly 60 years"

    But this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang, just watch the news and complain about it, and then it will be over.

    That man has entered the NBA, and Zhang Hao can¡¯t wait to start the sequel to the slam dunk contest 5 years ago!

    "Ruth, of course it's Carter! He's the best dunker in the world!"

    "Oh, Jack, the gentleman once defeated Carter in the dunk contest!"

    ¡°At that time, the gentleman was still a small forward, but now he is a center, which is completely different.¡±

    "Is there any difference? Time Warner replayed the dunk contest at noon yesterday. Although the gentleman at that time was young, he was also very handsome Ah!! The gentleman came in! Ax Ax Jack,  Help"

    "Be careful, Ruth, what if you dive in front and jump from the stands?"

    "Jack, will you jump if I jump?"

    "You love Jiang Pu, love Jiang Pu"

    At 5:30 in the evening on February 16, 2000, a large group of participating players on the comprehensive event day all entered the venue.

    There is no technical platform on one side of the bench this time. The participating players, active and retired players who come to watch the game are all concentrated here.

    But directly opposite, there is still the beautiful scenery of Zhang Hao and his family

    The first thing to be held is the Masters Game. Players from the political and business circles, entertainment circles, and other sports participating in the Masters Game are looking for active superstars to take photos and autographs after entering the game Zhang Hao also has to do business

    Soon, at 6 o'clock in the evening, the Masters Game started.

    The first half and the second half are 20 minutes each, with a 5-minute intermission. There is one timeout opportunity in each half. The clock will not stop if it is not a timeout, a non-free throw, or a non-intermission.

    The retired superstars invited this time are Barkley and Larry Bird, who are quite famous.

    After 52 minutes of the game, the team led by Barkley narrowly defeated the team led by Larry Bird 59-54.

    At 7pm, the challenge begins.

    The retired ball-handling expert who was challenged was Isaiah Thomas, the shooting expert was Craig Hodges, who won three consecutive three-point contests, and the passing expert was Magic Johnson.

    ?Compared to the back-and-forth of the Masters Tournament, it was quite interesting to watch, but the Challenge Tournament was nothing to watch

    After the Masters Game, the players participating in the following three-point contest and slam dunk contest had returned to the training ground to re-exercise their bodies. They each felt that their condition was almost the same. When they returned to the court, they happened to see Magic easily destroying the game.  Several are said to be the strongest passers in the streetball world

    Zhang Hao sighed: "There is a big difference between professional players and amateur players."

    Kobe Bryant responded: "There is not much difference between amateur players and professional players, so there is no difference between amateur and professional."

    Zhang Hao glanced at Kobe The little blacksmith today is even more irritable than the little blacksmiths he met before!  This yin and yang is weird This is consistent with the image of a little blacksmith.

    At 7:45, the challenge ended.

    Whether it¡¯s Isaiah Thomas¡¯ ball-handling, Craig Hodges¡¯ shooting, or Magic¡¯s passing, they all completely overwhelmed the challenger teams that were mainly composed of receiving players.

    Zhang Hao estimates that the challenge event will not be available in the future, but the Masters Tournament will probably continue.

    ¡­¡­

    After the two embellishment events, the staff began to clean the court and arrange the facilities for the three-point contest.

    When it was close to 8 o'clock, the lights dimmed and the host began to introduce the players participating in the three-point contest.

    After watching a boring game of abuse, the fans at the scene regained their enthusiasm. During the host's introduction, the eight participating players in the three-point contest: Iverson, Hornacek, Bibby, Novi  Sky, Carter, Zhang Hao, Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen and others entered the stadium one after another, triggering cheers from the fans at the scene.

    After entering the venue, active or retired players also surrounded the players they supported.

    There are two participating players who are surrounded by a lot of people, one is Hornacek and the other is Zhang Hao.

    Kobe naturally stayed next to Tracy McGrady, watching Zhang Hao surrounded by players from all eras, retired superstars, veteran superstars, Mesozoic superstars, new generation so angry!

    "Kobe, don't worry about this. If you participate in these games again in a few years, you will also attract so much attention."

    "Tracy! You are competing now, and there are only a few of our teammates around you. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

    "Vince, Ray, Mike, Dirk, Allen, aren't there only teammates next to the five of them?"

    "How can they compete with you? Can they compare with you? They have been practicing for three years, and it is not as good as you just practicing for three months."

    "Yes Yes Yes¡­¡­"

    Hearing McGrady¡¯s perfunctory response, Kobe was so angry!

    On the other side, Zhangp; The fans at the scene are excited again!

    Those players who are familiar with Zhang Hao have always felt that there was something missing tonight, but here it comes!

    Opponents had different reactions, Bibby was indifferent, Hornacek smiled and shook his head, Nowitzki shouted "Long Live the Stone Buddha", McGrady narrowed his eyes Carter directly cursed!

    "You are the strongest in the world, aren't you! Maybe you will break the previous record of the world's strongest three-point contest tonight!"

    Amidst Carter¡¯s malicious curse, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the 60-second countdown began. Zhang Hao, who came to the right corner and was ready, grabbed the ball and shot a three-pointer

    Carter¡¯s malice failed to affect Zhang Hao on the opposite side. It took 9 seconds for Zhang Hao to make all the shots at the first point!

    At the first point, Zhang Hao did not throw the ball at the fastest speed. By the time he moved to the second point, 11 seconds had passed. Continue The last flower ball at the second point was made steadily, and he made 5 hits.  4, 11 points!

    ??Tie Carter's best shooting situation in the first two shooting points of this three-point contest.

    It¡¯s just that after Zhang Hao finished his second shot, 20 seconds passed!

    At the third point, Zhang Hao's speed increased significantly. He scored the first four ordinary balls, but unfortunately he failed to score the last one.

    15 marks!

    Carter¡¯s mentality completely exploded

    "Why do you call me a trapeze artist if it's okay? Why? I don't want to be a trapeze artist anymore!"

    At the 4th point, all the first 4 balls were still scored, and the flower ball was missed again.

    19 points!  Tying Ray Allen's second-best score in the first round!

    The time had just passed 40 seconds, and when Zhang Hao reached the last point, there were 18 seconds left.

    This time, Zhang Hao shot a little slower. He still hit all the first 4 balls. When the last ball came, there were 9 seconds left.

    At this time, Zhang Hao already had 23 points, which was only 1 point away from the highest scoring record in this three-point contest of 24 points set by Hornacek in the first round!

    It took two seconds to adjust. Zhang Hao raised the flower ball, raised his hand straight, exerted force on his shoulders and wrists, and threw the ball towards the basket

    At this moment, the fans at the scene fell silent and held their breath, while the players on the other side of the court also watched with wide eyes.

    24 points may be the highest score in any three-point contest. 24 points in the preliminaries does not mean that it will also appear in the finals. Even some champions' performance in the finals is less than 20 points.

    After the ball left Zhang Hao¡¯s hand, the arc was very flat and flew straight towards the basket

    ? 1 second later, the scene erupted into overwhelming cheers!

    The scene exploded!

    Hornacek smiled and shook his head again, but he just lowered his head and shook his head with a wry smile.

    25 points!  Zhang Hao tied the highest score in a single round in the history of the Three-Point Contest created by Craig Hodges!

    Just now, Hornacek felt that Zhang Hao was too arrogant, but now he has proved one thing with actual actions - he is arrogant based on his strength!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 468 468. The Killed Three-Point Contest (4000 words, please vote for me)

    With 22 out of 25 shots, including 3 out of 5 flower balls, Zhang Hao advanced to the second round with a historical best score of 25 points!

    Carter, Nowitzki, and Bibby were eliminated in the first round with 12 points, 13 points, and 14 points respectively, bidding farewell to this three-point contest.

    McGrady with 15 points, Iverson with 18 points, Ray Allen with 19 points, Hornacek with 24 points, and Zhang Hao with 25 points advanced to the second round.

    There was originally a lot to say, but now McGrady can no longer speak.

    He rarely has the mentality to be as public as Carter. He finally got it today. Good guy, he didn't have time to speak after countless opportunities. Now, he was directly unable to speak because of Zhang Hao's performance of 25 points on 22 of 25 shots.  .

    Even Kobe, who came on the court to cheer McGrady up during the break, has nothing to say now.

    This is outrageous, it was a record-tying 25 points.

    Ray Allen has always been silent and didn't speak much today. Kenny Anderson came next to him and asked: "Ray, is it okay?"

    Ray Allen finally spoke: "It's okay, it's just the first round, the rest is more important. Even if you advance with the lowest score, you still have the possibility of winning in the endKenny, don't you want Akers to win the championship?"

    "That's true, but he's always winning. It doesn't matter if he loses occasionally."

    ""

    "" Kenny Anderson also found that he was too direct and wanted to say something to his teammate, but seeing that Ray Allen's eyes were still full of confidence, he did not continue to say anything.

    He has changed teams more times and has played with more stars. Kenny Anderson used to think Zhang Hao was the most special, but now he finds that Ray Allen is also special.

    Iverson was used to being slapped on the head by Duncan, and he had no intention of resisting.

    He is very happy now. Originally, he thought that he could beat Nowitzki and Bibby at most, but no one else could do it. Unexpectedly, he actually advanced!  At the bottom is Carter!

    Advancing to the second round did not make Iverson very happy, but Iverson was very happy to beat Carter.

    ¡­¡­

    Soon, amid the cheers of the fans on site, the 5-minute break ended and the second round began.

    The rules are very simple. The order of appearance in the second round starts with the player with the highest score in the first round. You can choose the order of appearance independently.

    My cousin was eliminated in the first round and entered the competition with the worst result in the second round.

    When Tracy McGrady first appeared, there was an ominous premonition.

    Sure enough, he made 11 of 25 shots, including 2 of 5 flower balls, and only scored 13 points!

    When McGrady made the last flower ball, Carter wanted to rush forward and have a fight!  So infuriating!  Seeing that McGrady only scored 11 points after 24 shots, the little devil in Carter was already twisting his butt in celebration, and then his cousin actually threw the last flower ball in!

    In the second round, Tracy McGrady, who scored 3 out of 5 and only scored 13 points, was basically eliminated.

    The second player to appear was Ray Allen, who finished third in the first round.

    Seems to be stimulated, Ray Allen performed very well in the second round!

    ? 20 of 25 shots. Unfortunately, he only made 3 of 5 balls, but he still got a good result of 23 points!

    23 points. Before the three-point contest was restructured to a total score of 34 points, 24 points was the top score. In the original time and space until 2015, there were many 24 points in more than 20 three-point contests, but with 25 points, there were only 23 points.  Craig Hodges did it alone.

    Ray Allen¡¯s performance won everyone¡¯s applause.

    The third player to appear was Hornacek, who finished second in the first round.

    ? 19 of 25 shots, but 4 of 5 free throws. After Hornacek scored 24 points, he scored another 23 points. His performance was very stable!

    Iverson was unhappy again at this time.

    There are two people to be eliminated in the second round, and Tracy McGrady will definitely be eliminated. If he wants to advance to the finals, at least one of the other three needs to have a score lower than him in the second round, but these two guys both scored 23 points!

    Iverson also has a big heart. Although he was annoyed, he still shot 16 of 25 from the field, including 4 of 5 free throws and scored 20 points!

    This result is quite good. In addition, Iverson is very popular, especially his die-hard fans. Fans from all over the world gave him enthusiastic cheers.

    The results were better than Iverson imagined, and he felt that his hope was much higher Looking at Zhang Hao, who was walking over expressionlessly he felt that his hope was not very high.

    Are you expecting this guy to perform abnormally?  Might as well look forward to winning the slam dunk title later

    Iverson walked towards the opposite half and when he passed by Zhang Hao, he saw Zhang Hao stop and stopped too.

    "Allen, thank you for your hard work. Congratulations on finishing fourth."?, then the second whistle blows and the game begins!

    Everyone stared at Zhang Hao with wide eyes. In the world of basketball, this man always creates incredible things.

    Tonightis it possible that the historical record of 25 points will be broken?

    As opponents, the two people obviously do not want Zhang Hao to break the historical record.

    In the first group, a total of 7 seconds passed from the whistle to the fifth ball!

    The fifth ball was thrown. Before Zhang Hao lowered his straight hand, his body had already started to move and came to a 45-degree position on the right. When he just reached the 45-degree position on the right, the first group  The fifth ball is a hollow ball, and you get 6 points!

    Every time the ball falls into the basket, the fans at the scene will cheer. Because it is too dense, cheering 5 times in 7 seconds sounds particularly weird

    But the waves of cheers failed to have the slightest impact on Zhang Hao.

    The players saw much more than most fans. The players present clearly felt that Zhang Hao's state was different from the previous two rounds. It was very different from the first round.

    Zhang Hao has entered the state!

    45 degree angle on the right, 8 seconds, full advance!

    Top arc, 7 seconds, all in again!

    45-degree angle to the left, 8 seconds, full advance again!

    After the first 4 groups of shots were completed, including the movement time, a total of 34 seconds passed, and Zhang Hao hit all 20 shots!

    24 points!

    With just one more goal, he can tie the all-time high score held by Zhang Hao himself and Craig Hodges, and also surpass the record of 24 points held by Mark Price in the finals of the Three-Point Contest!

    Everyone at the scene stood up. Many people didn¡¯t want to cheer and wanted to be quiet for fear of disturbing Zhang Hao, but they couldn¡¯t help it!  I just want to stand up and cheer!

    And this did not have any impact on Zhang Hao. When he came to the left corner, Zhang Hao threw the first ball and hit it directly. When the first ball fell into the basket, the second ball had already been raised and thrown.

    When the second ball was scored, Barkley, who returned to the commentary box, began to yell crazily: "Win the championship win the championship"

    Kenny Smith was stunned. He is also a three-point expert. He participated in a slam dunk contest in 1993. He knew that in that environment, ten people may not be able to perform at a normal level, and there are extremely factors of surprise.  MoreZhang Hao actually scored 22 goals in a row, breaking the historical record!

    The third goal was also scored, 27 points!  The fans at the scene were already going crazy.

    When it came to the fourth ball, when Zhang Hao threw it, he entered that special state of extreme concentration and felt that the ball was crooked, but he did not stop, grabbed the flower ball and continued to throw

    As he expected, the fourth ball deflected a little to the left, hit the rim in the direction of the neck of the basket, and bounced out.

    Before the fans who were shouting "full score" could even let out a cry of regret, the ball had already flown to the basket and plunged into the frame!

    They scored again, and the fans cheered wildly again. Soon, the fans noticed that only one goal was conceded, and began to shout heartbreakingly.

    They didn't see the 60+ triple-double, they didn't see the 72 points, they didn't see the 76 points, they didn't see the 86 points, they only conceded 1 goal in the three-point contest, setting a terrifying record of 29 points.  , they saw it with their own eyes!

    The current and retired players who were watching were stunned, and the other seven participating players on the field also stretched their necks

    When the last ball hit the frame, Zhang Hao felt like he still wanted to shoot, but there was no ball for him to throw. Only then did he gradually break away from the state where he seemed to be unable to hear any sounds from the outside world.

    Listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene, who seemed to be punching through the ceiling, Zhang Hao opened his arms, closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and stretched The director was professional, and promptly directed the aerial camera to focus on Zhang Hao, and put it on  On the big screen and broadcast screen.

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s rare expression of enjoyment, not to mention the fans, the players on the sidelines were cheering crazily!

    As a player, it is such an honor to see this scene, even some of the players on the field!

    Originally, the interview was supposed to wait until after the three-point contest, but the reporters on the sidelines couldn't help but rushed in. The security personnel were cheering along and had no time to stop them.

    The host reacted, thought for a moment, squeezed in, and raised the microphone connected to the live amplifier to Zhang Hao's mouth.

    The reporters were asking the same questions.

    Zhang Hao noticed the microphone that was handed to him, lowered his head and said: "Because I may not participate in the three-point contest again in the future, at least not within 10 years, so I didn't think too much tonight, I just wanted to kill this game, that's all  Simple."

 Chapter 469 469. Destroy it!  Individual Competition (Last Chapter) (11,000 words, please vote monthly)

    Hearing Zhang Hao¡¯s words, the fans at the scene were cheering crazily.

    Tonight¡¯s competitors were all smiling bitterly, and some started applauding directly - What are we doing tonight by participating in the competition?

    Kill the three-point contest!

    From the looks of this situation, it really is like this!

    He made 24 of 25 shots and scored 29 points. There is only one way to surpass this record - 25 consecutive wins to win the championship!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Iverson, Nowitzki, Bibby, Carter, and even the defending champion Hornacek have no idea of ????surpassing Zhang Hao in the future, this idea has not emerged.

    McGrady was very sad "I still can't talk to Akers!"

    But one person¡¯s expression revealed a trace of ferociousness

    After the staff set up the game, the fans on site were still cheering for Zhang Hao, and Hornacek walked to the competition area with a relaxed look.

    The referee was a professional. He separated from the shock of 29 points, dispersed the reporters on the court, and asked Zhang Hao to go back to the preparation area to wait. The game was not over yet.

    What if?

    Zhang Hao feels hot tonight just feels hot, because Zhang Hao is not the strongest three-point shooter in people's eyes. Among players who average at least one three-pointer per game, Zhang Hao's field goal percentage ranks 19th, with Novi  Ski juxtaposition.

    Zhang Hao can feel so violent, what if others feel violent too?

    For example, Ray Allen, with a 42.4% three-point shooting percentage, ranks 6th among players who average at least one three-pointer per game!

    Hornacek, who has already reached the competition area, although he only averaged 0.9 three-pointers per game this season, this is because his playing time has dropped to the lowest since his rookie season. He only averaged 26 minutes per game and only averaged only 2 shots per game.  9.1 times, the lowest since his rookie season, very few three-pointers, and the three-point shooting rate 48%!  Basically, for every two three-pointers, one is scored!

    29 points, who could have thought of this before?

    What if?

    What if it¡¯s 30 minutes¡­

    Hornacek missed two shots when he came up and lost the chance to win the championship.

    Hornacek performed well, making 16 of 25 shots, including 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 20 points.

    This is definitely a very good score. There are many three-point competition finals that can win the championship with this score.

    But the score seemed very low tonight. I can only talk about the passing score in tonight¡¯s three-point contest.

    Hornacek also breathed a sigh of relief. It¡¯s so embarrassing that he couldn¡¯t even get 20 points

    Back on the sidelines, Hornacek chatted with his Jazz teammates and accepted their teasing.

    In Hornacek¡¯s view, losing this is not an important thing. Being able to see a 29-point miracle is already a worthwhile trip.

    The fans gave Hornacek applause for the veteran. The average price of the 26,772 seats on this comprehensive event day reached $897. After spending so much money to watch the game live, most people must be paying attention to it.  nba, we know that Hornacek, a veteran who has played in the nba for more than ten years, is retiring.

    Barkley in the commentary box also gave high praise: "Jeff scored 24 points in the first round and forced out the strongest gentleman!"

    It¡¯s time for Ray Allen¡¯s final performance.

    After watching Hornacek¡¯s performance, people remembered that the reason why miracles are called miracles is that they are not something that can be seen casually

    Ray Allen worked very hard. He scored the first 4 goals after the first point of the game, but when it came to the ball, he missed the shot and was directly out

    The miracle of 29 points, if you want to surpass it, you must not lose a single goal!  It's almost impossible!

    Ray Allen was also trying his best, concentrating, and shooting, but in the end he only made 18 of 25 shots, including 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 21 points.

    Amid the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, Zhang Hao won the three-point contest championship trophy!

    During the award ceremony, Zhang Hao did not say anything to celebrate his victory. As usual, he donated the $25,000 bonus to the children's medical organization in the local Chinese community in Oakland.

    ¡­¡­

    The reason why the three-point contest is interesting is that the winner of the three-point contest is usually not the strongest three-pointer in the league.

    Since Reggie Miller was in his second year, he has almost been recognized as the best three-point shooter in the league, but he has participated in 5 three-point contests before and has not won a single championship.

    On the contrary, small players like Tim Clegg have the possibility of winning the championship.

    A game with an unknown ending can always have more to watch.

    It¡¯s just now¡­

    With the miracle of 29 points, the three-point contest in the future will become bleak!

    29 points, out of 30 points??, the back button with the moon behind you!

    George Gervin gave 9 points, Kenny Smith gave 7 points, Cynthia Cooper gave 9 points, Isaiah Thomas gave 9 points, Rick Barry gave 8 points, 42 points!

    With a total score of 91 points, Iverson surpassed Tracy McGrady, ranked third, and advanced to the finals!

    The second dunks of the six contestants on one side were played on the big screen, and then the scores of the two dunks and the total score of the six contestants were posted.

    Carter, Zhang Hao, and Iverson advanced to the finals!

    The fans at the scene were shouting "gentleman", "ufo", "stone Buddha", "flying man", "Aix", "Carter"

    Iverson, basically no one calls his nameeven!

    "Come on Allen, kill them!" This is McGrady.

    "Allen, I'm optimistic about you!" This is O'Neal.

    "Allen, we support you" This is the Jazz generals

    "Asshole! Shut up!" Iverson exploded on the spot!

 Chapter 470 470. Unparalleled Slam Dunk Contest (9000 words, please vote for me)

    Before the start of the finals, a group photo was taken.

    Zhang Hao thought for a while and put his hand on Iverson's right shoulder. He originally wanted to use his arm, but he had to squat down, so he gave up.

    Seeing this, Carter also put his hand on Iverson's left shoulder.

    After the flash, Iverson immediately threw away the hands of the two people on his left and right, and walked towards the playing field in grief and indignation.

    The first one to dunk is the one with the lowest promotion score.

    The fans at the scene began to cheer for Iverson very enthusiastically. Those who didn't know it thought Iverson was the favorite to win the championship.

    If Carter and Zhang Hao dunk, a large number of fans at the scene already have clear supporters. They are no longer indiscriminately supported by the majority of people like in the first round. Now, only a small number of people support indiscriminately, and there is no one from any country.  People fall into line faster than Americans.

    But if Iverson dunks, that is undifferentiated support.

    After receiving the ball, Iverson came to the top arc and stood still.

    ?Put the ball on your left waist, put your right hand on your waist, sigh, sigh, sigh again

    The first dunk into the finals, no pressure at all!

    Who can compete with Zhang Hao and Carter in the dunk contest final without any pressure?

    Who dares to draw a sword?  I am the only one, General Ai!

    This feeling is quite refreshing.

    In an instant, Iverson became angry.

    Having been called 58 for several years, Iverson still has this thickness of skin.

    After taking two shots of the ball, Iverson ran directly in from the top arc. He was very fast and started quickly. Among the more than 20,000 people present, except for a few sprinters who came to watch the dunk contest, no one started faster than Iverson.  Faster!

    There are several head coaches of NFL teams who are still regretting that Iverson gave up American football after graduating from high school.

    In high school, starting from his sophomore year, Iverson relied on his speed, excellent explosiveness, and excellent jumping ability that far surpassed everyone. He was unstoppable in the high school circles in Virginia. In his sophomore and senior years, Iverson was elected as the best player in Virginia for two consecutive years.  Quarterback, he also won the MVP of the 3A Championship in his senior season and was selected to the All-American High School Team. However, a Valentine's Day brawl in 1993 ruined his senior season In the end, only Georgetown University coach John Thompson accepted him.  After leaving him, he unswervingly chose basketball instead of football.

    Iverson rushed to the free throw line, took off from the dotted semi-dome arc inside the free throw line, leaped high, switched the ball from his right hand to his left hand, seemed to have stopped in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket from top to bottom with his left hand.  When he hit the ball, his body seemed to be frozen in the air. After dunking the ball in, his body began to fall.

    9 points, 9 points, 8 points, 9 points, 10 points, the total score is 45 points. Iverson's dunk is simple and crude, but the score is higher than the second dunk of the pull-bar gliding back dunk.

    In the finals, the judges were particularly tolerant of Iverson's dunk, and the fans cheered with great enthusiasm.

    When Iverson saw this score "You feel that even if you give me a few more points, it won't affect the result, right?"

    This dunk is just a make-up dunk that he often performs in games. When he grabs an offensive rebound, his teammate's shot usually starts to fall. Before the ball even touches the basket, he has already jumped out of the crowd.  , when he jumped to the highest point, the ball almost hit the basket and popped out, and he pushed the ball in.

    As for the ball going in, he wants to show off his bounce, why not?

    He scored more than expected, but Iverson felt like his toes were going to dig a hole in his sneakers.

    But if you get 45 points, then take it and try to get a total score of 90+ in the second round. At least it will look better.

    Although the probability is low, what if Zhang Hao uses up all his powerful dunks in the first round?  Then Ai 58 is second!

    Walking back to the preparation area and watching Zhang Hao take the field, Iverson unconsciously touched his face and felt that his face was a little harder.

    Zhang Hao came to the center circle and took the ball from the referee.

    Zhang Hao felt a lot of pressure. He prepared a total of 6 dunks, 1 from Kobe, 3 from LaVine, and two from Gordon.

    Gordon and Kobe are fully equipped, but LaVine's, the incredible twist and pull dunk, is fully equipped, and the other two are at the next level.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT OFFICIAL

    "When I'm playing against Carter, I have to use big moves right from the start. I can't do the crotch change at the free throw line or the big windmill at the free throw line. Shortening the distance is not that shocking. I probably won't get full marks, but in the finals with Carter, I can't get it.  A perfect score equals a loss.¡±

    He stood still, but the cheers from the scene became more and more fierce.

    "Turn around the windmill,sp; Zhang Hao said and waved towards the viewing area, and Cassel ran onto the field in tacit understanding.

    Arriving at the center circle, Zhang Hao felt a little lucky, with only one dunk leftit was so beneficial to him!

    Cassel¡¯s ability to organize offense is not among the best, but his passing accuracy is definitely among the most accurate.

    After Zhang Hao communicated with Cassel, he came to the center circle again.

    Tired I felt a little tired after the dunk, mainly due to the continuous exertion of my legs and muscle fatigue. This is more or less the same as the feeling of weak legs after 10 frog jumps, even if I feel  After resting, you will still feel strange when you exert more force.

    But now, entering the "unguarded" dunk state, the "Dunk Master (Gold)" is triggered again, temporarily returning to the best physical condition!

    Everyone saw his calm look on the big screen, and it seemed that he was very relaxed. In fact, when he came to this position and was about to start dunking, he was really relaxed!

    Zhang Hao nodded towards Cassel, and Cassel nodded too, and they were all ready.

    The scene became quiet. As Zhang Hao accelerated from the center circle and entered the three-point line, Cassel seized the opportunity to throw the ball. This time, the ball did not go either way. It went straight up and down. After Cassel threw the ball  Just ran away.

    Zhang Hao took a step outside the free throw line, and people noticed the forceful movement of his step forward The free throw line again?

    It¡¯s really the free throw line!

    Zhang Hao stepped on the free throw line with the back half of his foot and took off. Before he reached the highest point, his left hand caught the falling ball. His body was still rising and the frame was flat!

    Reaching the highest point, Zhang Hao began to fall. As he was falling, Zhang Hao had already stretched the ball to his crotch, switched from under his right leg to his right hand, raised the ball with his right hand, and smashed it into the frame as his body slid under the basket.  !

    From when Zhang Hao slipped out of the bottom line before landing, people could clearly see that Zhang Hao still had a little bit of leeway!

    This time, even Carter cursed when he saw it!

    Carter thinks he has the ability to do this dunk. He may not be as elegant as Zhang Hao, but his stretch level will not be inferior to Zhang Hao. The different body shapes will give him a more powerful physical appearance. He is confident that he can do it.  .

    But not now!

    Now he can take off from the free throw line and dunk, but he has to add additional actions, which is really impossible!

    "Is this endurance still human?"

    The fans at the scene were cheering crazily, and the players on the sidelines also felt the unparalleled shock.

    Compared with the previous big windmill at the free throw line, this dunk did not reach the point of transcendence.

    But with those previous dunks, Zhang Hao can actually dunk a dunk that is comparable to the previous dunks, which is still extremely shocking!

    At this time, everyone was shouting "ufo", "Carter" and "Flying Man".

    Carter closed his eyes and reviewed every dunk he and Zhang Hao had.

    Zhang Hao, starting from the first 48-point dunk that was not very difficult, to the fifth just now, every dunk, regardless of the difficulty, was a drunken and perfect dunk.

    He was stuck at 86. From the first dunk to the fourth dunk just now, he did every dunk to perfection.

    He can still make it more difficultbut, can it be perfect?

    Will such a perfect duel be ruined by his last dunk?

    Carter surrendered!

    The fans at the scene and in front of the TV were so surprised that they surrendered without even trying a dunk.

    The key is to look at Carter's dunk in front, and it is not inferior to Zhang Hao's crotch dunk at the free throw line.

    Barkley, the commentator of t.n.t Sports Station, stopped bragging about Zhang Hao and said: "I can imagine how much courage it takes for Carter to make such a decision. He can definitely go up and complete the dunk. As long as he is willing to dunk, then his  The dunk will be better than the winning dunk of any past dunk king.

    ¡°He must have known that if he chose to give up, it would attract a lot of negative voices, but he still chose to give up. Without a winning dunk, he couldn¡¯t do his best. He didn¡¯t want to break the perfect duel between him and the gentleman"

    Fans who were watching the live broadcast on t.n.t Sports understood Carter's inner pain from Barkley's commentary.

    At the same time, I was also very surprised - this fat guy really knows how to play football!

    Carter, on his side, was also prepared to be booed.

    He doesn¡¯t care so much about winning or losing. He had a lot of fun tonight.

    ¡°But there are definitely regrets, and there are many. He doesn¡¯t know if he really pushed Zhang Hao to the limit. The other party can still fly, but he has already developed symptoms of fatigue.

    However, to his surprise, the fans at the scene applauded and cheered after being surprised.

    "Well done, ufo, you forced out the strongest stone Buddha!"

    "Thank you Carter, we saw the most exciting slam dunk contest ever!"

    "Carter thanks you for the best dunk"

    "Fei Ren, you are the strongest in my mind"

    The fans at the scene were very manic, but they were not scolding. Carter heard the gratitude and encouragement from the fans who roared the loudest on the side of the stadium!

    Choosing to give up requires more courage than having to bite the bullet knowing you will lose!

    Everyone has seen Carter¡¯s four perfect dunks tonight. Except for Zhang Hao, any dunk champion in front of Carter would be a traitor.

    If Zhang Hao and Carter continue to compete and remain evenly matched, that would be great, but for this slam dunk contest, it is just the icing on the cake, and theoretically speaking, there will inevitably be a decline in level, even if the body can keep up.  On the other hand, the creativity and difficulty of dunks cannot keep up.

    That¡¯s it, just right!

    After thanking and encouraging Carter, the fans at the scene began to chant Zhang Hao¡¯s various nicknames and English names again.

    By this time, the fans¡¯ voices have long been hoarse, but the enthusiasm and joy can be deeply felt as long as they hear it!

    Zhang Hao also came to the sidelines and high-fived or hugged the excited spectators.

    Pierce held Carter with one arm and Zhang Hao with the other: "It's you again! Will you come again next year?"

    Carter shook his head first and said: "Unless a rule is changed, the preliminaries and finals will be separated."

    Zhang Hao smiled and did not respond. He knew that if he participated again in the future, this guy would definitely participate.

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao thought of something and said: "Paul, Vince, when you play against the 76ers in the future, pay attention to your feet when you take off!"

    "Watch your feet? Akers, Duncan and Campbell, they are very good players!" Pierce asked in confusion.

    "It's not them. When I studied the video, I found that three players were injured by the 76ers' backup small forward this season."

    Carter remembered at this time: "Yes, I remember that guy, his name is Bruce Bowen, right? The last time I dunked, I hung on the rim and didn't come down immediately. I saw his lower body at the point where I landed.  I thought the location was a coincidence, he wanted to step on me?"

    Zhang Hao did not continue to answer. A reminder on this kind of thing can have a big effect. Talking more will not have a better effect.

    The host has announced that he has won the championship. Zhang Hao walked onto the court and received the Slam Dunk Contest Championship trophy from tonight's award guest, Dominic Wilkins.

    In the interview after winning the championship, Zhang Hao was unusually low-key and officially answered the reporter's nonsense.

    At the host¡¯s reminder, Zhang Hao faced the camera, raised the trophy high, and concluded the dunk contest!

    "The unsurpassable peak of All-Star Weekend"

    After the comprehensive competition day, all major media gave similar titles.

    One point away from pride, the three-point contest finals scored 29 points to win the championship.

    With an invincible attitude, he won the greatest championship in the history of the slam dunk contest.

    &nbsguard players, but in fact the Eastern team's lineup is much more reasonable than the Western team. The Western team does not have a shooting guard or small forward. After Anfernee Hardaway quit, the Western team has 11 point guards and power forwards, and the center is  That leaves O'Neal.

    The West's internal line is several levels stronger than the East's, but its outside line is also several levels weaker.

    Larry Bird was also very considerate. He quickly rotated other positions to let the players work hard, but at the small forward position, Jordan played 38 minutes.

    With the help of a circle of fans, Jordan scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, helping the Eastern team defeat the Western team 122-107.

    In the end, on his birthday night, Jordan won the All-Star MVP as everyone expected!

    The Western Conference team didn¡¯t want to give it away for free, but this lineup of 6 power forwards and 5 point guards is really impossible to play.

    The TV station commentator also discovered this situation and said with emotion: "Now we can only look at the West when looking at the inside, and we can only look at the East when looking at the outside. The East may be beaten by the West for many years to come"

    In the All-Star Game, when the East and West gather the strongest lineups, it is difficult for the West to beat the East in a game that determines the outcome.

    But the inside group like the Western Conference, where each team has a group of teammates who are not the top in the league but have first-rate to close to the top level, is definitely better than the top outside players in the East and a group of first-rate to close to the top teammates.  Stronger.

    Zhang Hao played time in the first three quarters tonight. He played a total of 11 minutes and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. His performance was okay and he did not participate in any competition. Cassel played 29 minutes and scored 18 points.  7 assists.

    After the game, Zhang Hao accepted a purchasing interview and was asked about his views on this All-Star Game.

    Zhang Hao thought for a while and responded: "I think the league can try to unify the jerseys of the All-Star Game. Now every All-Star wears his own team's jersey. I always regard them as opponents. You know I saw the Lakers  How much does the team¡¯s jersey not want to pass the ball?¡±

    The first quarter of the first- and second-year rookie challenge was very exciting, the game was fierce and compact, although Carter and Kobe both chose to withdraw, the game was still beautiful, making people look forward to the future rookie challenge.

    This game can indeed allow fans to see the future of the league.

    On the Comprehensive Competition Day, Zhang Hao took the lead, bringing the Comprehensive Competition Day to its peak year since its establishment.

    In the All-Star Game, the comeback Jordan won the All-Star MVP on the night of his 37th birthday. It was a happy ending.

    From the current perspective, no matter what, the first All-Star Weekend after the lockout is so perfect.

    The ratings and topicality have made the league and team owners very happy. The NBA has successfully gotten rid of the negative impact of the lockout.

    ¡­¡­

    On the evening of February 18, 2000, Zhang Hao came to the Key Stadium. Ben Wallace was waiting for Zhang Hao to arrive in the parking lot and went in together.

    "Ben, the coach said he had something to discuss about you, but you were beaten by Bai Li again? Beaten to the point that you couldn't play in the game?"

    "I wasn't beaten by Bai Li! She was just a little stricter She wanted to hit me the day before yesterday, but she didn't succeed. I ran fast!"

    At noon the day before yesterday, during the All-Star Game Day, there was a very interesting news about the Sonics - Ben Wallace was chased and beaten by his wife in the mall.

    The reason, Ben Wallace revealed in an interview - he took his eldest son with his ex-girlfriend to the mall to buy things, but he forgot about his son when he left. He found out when he got home, and he and his wife quickly went out to look for his son.

    After finding it, Baili grabbed a stick in the mall and chased Ben Wallace to beat him.

    The news is quite funny, but Ben Wallace¡¯s family situation makes many people envious.

    Bailey Chanda Wallace, originally Chanda was her surname. After marrying Ben Wallace, she also kept the original surname in her name. She has good looks, was a college water polo player, and has strong hands.  Although after Ben Wallace entered the NBA, his ex-girlfriend came to him and told him that she once had a son with him, and asked him to give him 100,000 yuan to give him the custody of his son. It was a buyout type, and Baili had a bite.  Agree and then raise him as your own son

    ¡°Then Baili took over the absolute say in the family

    When Zhang Hao was alone, Ben Wallace looked proud when he mentioned this matter. He was quite proud of his own skills.

    After playing in the All-Star Game yesterday, Zhang Hao just returned to Seattle at noon today. In the afternoon, Howard Schultz notified him to come to the arena to discuss matters related to Ben Wallace.

    When we arrived at the head coach¡¯s office, the team management and coaching staff were all there.

    "Akers, congratulations on winning the three-point king and dunk king"

    What a happy thing, after everyone congratulated each other, they quickly got down to business.

    "Startup companies" are always so efficient when they are not short of money.

    Larry Harris said: "Akers, Detrev has told us that you want to enter the playoffs with a ranking in the top half of the playoffs. We very much agree with your idea. In the past few days,  We are all looking at areas of the team that can be strengthened.¡±

    Starting to get down to business, the members of the coaching staff are very happy. Even the Silver Fox is very motivated about the current situation.

    Although they ended the first half of the season with a record of 37 wins and 14 losses, public opinion generally did not believe that they could maintain the top four rankings in the Western Conference. Even except for the local media in Seattle, no other media believed that they could eventually win 50 games.

    Silver Fox is very accustomed to such unfavorable situations and likes them very much.

    For the rest of the coaching staff, if they can really get 55 wins and reach the playoffs as one of the top four in the Western Conference as Zhang Hao expected, it will be a highlight on their coaching resumes.

    Unlike Scott Collins who came just to help the students, his brother Doug Collins liked this job very much. He took over what Larry Harris said and said: "The strength and characteristics we showed in the first half of the season, I want to  It is difficult to achieve an 18-13 record in the second half of the season. We have analyzed it and may continue to play with the strength we had after trading Ratliff, and we may really win 10 games at most"

    When Doug Collins said this, Ben Wallace lowered his head. He knew that this had a huge relationship with him.

    Without Ratliff¡¯s more comprehensive close-range defense ability, their defense at the end of January and early February was greatly affected.

    Alvan Adams, the general manager consultant next to him, patted Ben Wallace on the shoulder: "Ben, we are not talking about your shortcomings. What we are going to discuss today is matters related to you."

    Doug Collins continued: "That's right, Ben.?¡¯s technology, you are terrible.  "

    "I didn't learn it secretly. I got your permission and you taught me personally."

    "Is that what I call teaching? I'm just showing it to you," Jordan began to complain to himself, and suddenly thought of something, he said: "There is another person who is even more talented than you. He is also a high school student, and he doesn't even need me.  Show it, you can learn it by watching it a few timesLooking at your look, what skills do you want to take away from me?"

    Zhang Hao didn't talk nonsense: "Three-threat attack."

    "Triple threat?" Jordan reviewed the characteristics of Zhang Hao's playing style. "A very smart choice with clear direction, but unfortunately, I am not the best at this. Your little brother, the one from the Lakers, is named Pierce? He is  Yes, but he is not the best young player."

    What Zhang Hao wants to learn is Pierce's triple threat, but the schedule during the All-Star Weekend is too tight. It would be good if he could spare one hour a day to complete "pressure defense", so he is planning to wait until the end of the season to use that "  McGrady Talent Card". Anyway, I have learned the basics now and there is no time to strengthen it at this stage.

    But at this time, Zhang Hao was very curious and asked: "Who is the strongest three-threat among young players?"

    "The guy I mentioned is more talented than you"

    "McCrady?"

    "That's right, it's him. If you need it, I can help you ask him to teach you"

    After saying that, Jordan left the lounge.

    Looking at the closed lounge door, Zhang Hao fell into deep thought "Why is it so interesting to learn McGrady's skills using McGrady's talent?"

    At this moment, the system prompt came.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao is favored by Michael Jordan, and the series of missions: Avengers is triggered"

 Chapter 473 473. Is he coming again?  (12,000 words, please vote monthly)

    Unintentionally, on February 29, 2000, the league originally scheduled the game between the Sonics and the Hawks for today. After arranging the popular games, they selected the two teams that had not yet played against each other and had no game today.  The team is playing a game today.

    But now, the slogan on the league¡¯s official website is ¨C a war that only happens once every four years.

    t.n.t Sports Station and American Cable TV Station also included this game in their live broadcast schedule after Jordan's comeback.

    At 6:50 in the evening, the live broadcast of t.n.t Sports Channel has started.

    "Welcome to the audience to watch the Sonics' home game against the Eagles live on Turner Sports. I'm your good friend Kenny."

    "Hello everyone, I am the great champion Sir Barkley!"

    "Charles, you only have one ring, so why are you so great? I have two!"

    ¡°I killed Jordan in the finals.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s the championship that Ax took you to win!¡±

    "Didn't you also win the championship with Olajuwon? But you are right, Akers is too great, greater than me. If I play for another year, even if I can only be on the sidelines every day  Just wave the towel and I can have two championships.¡±

    Kenny Smith is so angry!  It's like he won the championship by waving a towel!

    But there is no way to refute this, because the Lakers really completed their title defense in the 1997-98 season.

    Skipping this topic, Kenny Smith said: "In today's game, the two teams are of equal strength"

    "Comparable strength?" Barkley interrupted: "The SuperSonics are fourth in the Western Conference with 40 wins and 16 losses, and the Eagles are seventh in the Eastern Conference with 29 wins and 26 losses. The difference in strength is huge!"

    "The record of the Sonics is better. Akers had two crazy months of performance in November last year and January this year, but in December last year and this month, the Sonics had 15 wins and 12 losses in these two months, especially  This month, the Sonics are only 6-5, which is not as good as the Hawks' 6-4 record."

    "So what? According to the rules, the Eagles will enter invincible mode again next month!"

    "Is this how you use the word law?"

    "Are you teaching me how to do something?"

    ""

    "And don't you find that everyone likes to watch the SuperSonics games? No matter they play against the Lakers or the Clippers, they are always so exciting and the scores are always so anxious.

    It¡¯s too friendly for us broadcasters. Kenny, you can¡¯t just eat the food given by Akers and say bad things about Akers¡¯ team, right?

    In my opinion, Akers and his team are the conscience of the industry!  "

    When Kenny Smith entered crazy mode again, the players from both teams were already preparing for the game on the court and the game was about to begin.

    "The Avengers:

    ? Opening conditions:

    1. Zhang Hao needs to lead his team to victory in every game he plays against the Eagles this season.

    2. Zhang Hao needs to score higher than Michael Jordan in both games against the Hawks this season.

    Reward: Both goals are completed, and the host will receive a lifespan reward ten times the score difference between Zhang Hao and Michael Jordan.  "

    "Avengers? Avengers Jordan wants to take revenge on the Bulls. This is understandable. The combination of Tracy McGrady and Kobe is done, and Larry Brown is also suitable for them

    Is there anyone I need revenge on?  Lakers?

    This task means that when I look for help in the future, I have to find someone who has a grudge against my old employer?

    This is not the era 20 years later when a star will force his old club to buy him out with an annual salary of 30 million U.S. dollars. He wants to join a team but is unwilling to take less money. Today's stars have a strong sense of belonging to their home team, right?  !  "

    I took another look at the task triggered in the morning. The task requirements are simple. Win + score is higher than Jordan. But whether he can win, Zhang Hao is really unsure.

    In theory, even if they are defensively focused, even if they have 6 wins and 5 losses in the past month, compared with the Eagles led by former Georgia Tech coach Lon Kruger, who plays more offensively, there is still a gap in the latter part of the season.  Certain advantages.

    But they are now in the last game of 4 battles in 5 days

    "The game is so unpredictable, I really love it."

    "The Atlanta Hawks, 29 wins and 26 losses, averaged 99.7 points per game, allowed 97.2 points per game, shot 45.5% from the field, opponents shot 44.1%, averaged 18.9 assists per game, opponents averaged 20.6 assists per game"

    ¡°Ranked last in the league in assists per game? No one passes the ball? This broken team offense can actually average 99.7 points per game There are so many singles players, it¡¯s difficult"

    After a bit of slander, Zhang Hao closedI've watched the 76-point game several times. It's a similar situation. Zhang Hao won't stop when he's soaring!

    This is what happened this season. When Zhang Hao scored 24 points in a single quarter, one thought hung over everyone in the Eagles-could we be the same as the Raptors?

    But it is really possible that the situation will become like that. If someone else scores 24 points in a single quarter, it is better to score 24 points in a single quarter. The Eagles players will hold the idea of ????"it will be fine if we get through this period", but this is Zhang Hao!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Back from the halftime break, the third quarter begins.

    The Hawks sent a combination of Bimbo Coles, Jim Jackson, Jordan, Alan Henderson and Mutombo.

    Although Alan Henderson and Mutombo failed to guard Zhang Hao, at least they did not let Zhang Hao directly attack the inside like he did at 3 minutes and 51 seconds before the second quarter, so the two continued to play.

    The SuperSonics sent out a combination of Cassell, Mookie Blakelow, James Posey, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace.

    When the Eagles attacked, Jordan came up and hit a fadeaway jumper, raising his personal score to 16 points.

    Jordan's performance was still stable tonight, as usual, scoring 6-7 points in each quarter.

    47 to 40, the Eagles lead by 7 points.

    When the Sonics attack, Zhang Hao catches the ball from close range on the left side of the three-second zone, turns over, faces Alan Henderson's defense, and makes a jump shot from close range and it goes in!

    The expectations held by the Eagles players were dashed by Zhang Hao's shot.

    During the halftime break, Lorenzen White put forward a constructive suggestion - Zhang Hao's shooting may have been affected due to too fierce confrontation.

    This is possible. After Lorenzen White proposed this idea, the Eagles coaching staff studied Zhang Hao's scoring distribution in the second quarter. Except for 4 of 5 free throws, Zhang Hao's other 20 points were almost all reasonable collisions.  Obtained from within and outside the district.

    The Hawks chose to give it a try and did not let Mutombo flank Zhang Hao immediately after receiving the ball.

    Then, Zhang Hao made the shot.

    If it were someone else, the Eagles would try again, but this person was Zhang Hao, and the Eagles decisively gave up the option of letting Zhang Hao jump the ball one-on-one.

    Giving up this option would be very detrimental to the Eagles.

    The SuperSonics failed to completely narrow the point difference for a while, but continued to hold on to the score.

    At 5 minutes and 52 seconds of the third quarter, Zhang Hao lobbed the ball to Ben Wallace, who scored two points with an alley-oop dunk.

    At 6 minutes and 33 seconds, Zhang Hao broke through the basket and scored on Cassel at the free throw line. Jim Jackson made up for it. However, Cassel's slow-paced breakthrough made the anxious Jim Jackson jump up. Cassel broke into the paint.  , scored the ball under the cover of Alan Henderson, and at the same time, he also got a foul from Alan Henderson.

    With Cassel scoring an extra penalty, the Sonics relied on a 5-0 run in the middle of the third quarter to tie the score at 55-54. After a 15-9 run, the Sonics went ahead by 1 point!

    After halftime, there were 0 assists, and the game was expected to drop by 0.2 assists per game. However, in the first half of the third quarter, Zhang Hao had 4 assists in the first half of the quarter, and he became lively again!

    Halfway through the third quarter, Zhang Hao¡¯s statistics increased to 35 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks!

 Chapter 474 474. The worst thing is Little Flying Squirrel (12,000 words, please vote for me)

    After Casselga made a free throw, the Eagles called a timeout again and entered the official timeout stage.

    ¡°The biggest fear when it comes to playing games is losing your morale.

    That¡¯s what the Eagles are now.

    ??Lon Kruger has nothing to do now and can¡¯t think of a solution, so he seeks stability.

    Strengthening defense is the best way to achieve stability.

    Being indecisive and playing defense is the same as being indecisive and throwing three-pointers 20 years later.

    If Jordan wants to be a head coach, then when he encounters trouble, he will fiercely show his desire to win, and will be very irritable to spur the players and then he will not know what to do, or even seek stability.  Maybe he also knows that he wants stability, but when he gets excited, he can do nothing but curse.

    The current situation of the Eagles is that Lon Kruger wants to be stable and Jordan wants to be aggressive. Jordan's isolation is the most stable offensive style of the Eagles, and they complement each other.

    In two and a half quarters of game time, Jordan had 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, which was a very good performance.

    However, after returning from the timeout, the Eagles failed to stabilize their position immediately.

    Although Jordan scored 5 points in the second half of the third quarter, the Eagles only scored 8 points and were beaten 11 to 8 by the SuperSonics.

    After three quarters, the SuperSonics led the Eagles by 4 points 66-62, and scored 26-17 in the third quarter!

    The situation has turned around. Zhang Hao scored 6 points and 7 assists in a single quarter. The Eagles did not give up on him because he took few shots in the third quarter. He got 7 assists in a single quarter!  Zhang Hao's statistics turned into 37 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocks after three quarters!

    Jordan scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. His performance was outstanding, but compared with Zhang Hao, he pales in comparison.

    "Obviously, the mentality of the Eagles players has been shattered by Zhang Hao. This can be seen by everyone in the Sonics. The excitement continues to inspire the Sonics players.

    In their opinion, as long as they work hard to maintain defensive confrontation and finish the game steadily, they will win!

    It is true that most of the players in the Eagles have lost their mentality, but there is still one person who has not!

    By the end of the quarter, Jordan scored 4 points in a row. Fortunately, the SuperSonics also scored 2 points, maintaining a 68-66 lead. In this regard, the two teams started a tug-of-war in the final quarter.

    The Eagles players were stunned. Such a huge advantage was turned into a disadvantage by the opponent alone. All they could do was limit Zhang Hao's scoring. After three quarters, they scored 37 points. In the second quarter, Zhang Hao scored 24.  points, they are worried that given a chance, Zhang Hao can score 60+ points in a single game. The game is already like this, and they never want to be scored by Zhang Hao so high.

    Zhang Hao originally thought he was safe, happily attracting flankers and getting assists, but he didn¡¯t expect Jordan to be able to win on his own!

    Unlike the Eagles, the Sonics players defended very hard and tried their best.

    But no matter how excited you are and how hard you play, there is one objective condition that cannot be changed - your physical strength cannot keep up!

    Regarding Jordan's defense, the Sonics did not do that well. They had double attacks and supplementary defenses, and they were actively executed, but they were not executed well enough. Jordan relied on his solid basic technical skills and experienced experience to find a good defense.  Got scoring opportunities and scored consecutively.

    This is not only reflected in defense, but the Sonics' offensive efficiency in the final quarter has also been affected. This can be seen from the second half of the third quarter. From the second quarter to the first half of the third quarter, the Sonics have maintained a 15-15 half-quarter lead.  The performance was good, but it dropped significantly in the second half of the third quarter.

    By the end of the final quarter, Jordan scored 12 points, leading the Eagles to a 14-12 score. When the official timeout entered, the Eagles chased the score to 76-78!

    Zhang Hao had 39 points, 21 rebounds and 11 assists. He originally thought it was very stable, but Jordan held the situation in check with 12 points in the half. Jordan's personal data also improved to 35 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals!

    At this time, a huge advantage of O'Neilka is revealed - you don't have to consider the status issue, just be strong!

    In the second half of the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao went to the basket fiercely. At this time, Mutombo, who had not received enough rest time, could no longer keep up with the rhythm, and his performance in protecting the rim declined significantly. Zhang Hao also took advantage of this aspect.  .

    In the second half of the final quarter, Zhang Hao made 3 of 5 shots and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 8 points. As soon as the Eagles were driven by Jordan, they were defeated by Zhang Hao.

    After all, Jordan is 37 years old. He rushed too hard in the first half of the quarter and failed to distribute his physical strength as well as usual. He was no longer able to stand alone at critical moments like he did two years ago. Although his teammates played with more energy,  In the second half of the final quarter, Jordan made 1 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws to score 4 points, while his teammates only scored 4 points!

    At 11 minutes and 38 seconds of the fourth quarter, there was a jamHe averaged a triple-double per game and won the Player of the Month three times

    Public opinion generally believes that the pressure is now on Los Angeles!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    On March 16, the SuperSonics came to Atlanta.

    Originally, this game was one that Zhang Hao attached great importance to.

    Because the opponent has Jordan, because there is an "Avengers Alliance mission", but Jordan was reimbursed due to injury

    98 to 81, relying on Zhang Hao's 34 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, Cassell's 18 points and 8 assists, Jason Williams' 12 points and 8 rebounds and Ben Wallace's 5 points and 14 rebounds, the SuperSonics  Easy win.

    Jordan showed the importance of a superstar to a team twice.

    At the end of the 1997-98 season, Jordan retired, and in the shortened season, the Bulls ranked last in the league and won the championship against Kobe Bryant.

    This season, just a few days after Jordan was reimbursed, the Eagles lost four games in a row, losing by an average of more than 20 points per game.

    Originally, the Eagles were aiming for failure, but because Jordan wanted to join, they temporarily adjusted the team's goals and made money for a year first. As a result, Jordan was brought to the playoff level. The owner of the Eagles  It's not bad to think about earning playoff ticket money Then Jordan was reimbursed, and now the Hawks are in an embarrassing situation. They are like the Mavericks, who are ninth in the Western Conference.  Can't rush forward

    Zhang Hao played three quarters. At the end of the three quarters, he already led 77 to 56 by 21 points. He did not play in the final quarter.

    When the final whistle sounded, the system prompt came.

    "The Avengers:

    ? Opening conditions:

    1. Zhang Hao needs to lead his team to victory in every game he plays against the Eagles this season.  (2 wins, 0 losses)

    2. Zhang Hao needs to score higher than Michael Jordan in both games against the Hawks this season.  (47 to 39)

    "Congratulations to the host for receiving the 80-day lifespan reward"

    "Hello, sure enough, I was still thinking about getting more than 400 lives at once, and sure enough, there were no more bugs to block me. It's not bad. I got the 80-day lifespan steadily."

    When Zhang Hao felt regretful and wanted to complain, the system prompt came.

    ¡°The Avengers¡¯ first recruitment target is triggered.¡±

    ¡°The Avengers¡¯ number one recruiting target: Michael Jordan.

    If Zhang Hao successfully recruits Michael Jordan to join his team and form the first phase of the Avengers team, he will start an exclusive mission.  "

    coming!

    ¡°I knew it was such a mission, but the Avengers

    Jordan, he should want to prove to the Bulls that he can win the championship even if he is not with the Bulls, right?

    ??????????????????? Also, he really wants to surpass or equal the number of championships won by the Magician Huh?  No, helping Jordan win more championships than Magic does that count as my revenge against the Lakers?

    So what criteria do members of the Avengers use to determine their recruitment targets?

    Was he abandoned by his old club?  You have to think about it, you can't be everyone, there are too many such players, there must be strength requirementsDoes the Flounder who finally played in the future at the age of 26 or 7 count?  Does the little flying squirrel count?

    This is not the Avengers, this is the Alliance of the Abandoned!  "

 Chapter 475 475. How can Hao be born?  (16,000 words, please vote monthly)

    After playing the away game against the Hawks, Zhang Hao returned to Seattle with the SuperSonics.

    There is no need to travel far in the next half month, the SuperSonics will usher in a mighty wave of seven-game winning streak!

    ? ?Zhang Hao thought it was wonderful when he thought about the 7th company leader, but he took out the team manual and looked at it, and he felt that it was better to look at the white clouds outside the window.

    "How wonderful it is to be a white cloud, floating day by day, freely"

    The Trail Blazers, Pistons, Jazz, Spurs, Knicks, Kings, and Bulls all attacked one after another.

    If Grant Hill hadn't been injured, the Pistons would have dropped directly from fourth place in the Eastern Conference to just outside the top ten in the Eastern Conference, and they would all be in the playoff ranks!

    After returning to Seattle for a night¡¯s rest, on March 18, the SuperSonics faced the challenge of the Trail Blazers at home.

    Nash and Rasheed Wallace cheered each other on before the game. The Trail Blazers and SuperSonics have only met three times this season. The Trail Blazers won the last time they met. As long as they win one more game, they will be able to compete in the regular season this season.  The two brothers faced off against Zhang Hao, and they had the advantage of winning against Zhang Hao for the first time in their careers!

    The Trail Blazers have currently played 65 games, with 50 wins and 15 losses. They are the second team to win 50 games this season. They are at their peak, beating the Pacers, who are first in the Eastern Conference with 49 wins and 17 losses, to rank second in the league.  , that is, the Lakers with 53 wins and 12 losses were too strong, so they were overwhelmed.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

    In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers were full of momentum and outscored the Sonics 26-19, leading by 7 points in the quarter.

    In the second quarter, Nash had his highlight moment, with 11 points and 4 assists in a single quarter. Mookie Blakelow committed 3 fouls in the half, one on Nash and two when switching to Bunchy Wells.  After receiving a foul and being replaced, Cassell and Travis Best were both beaten by Nash, and Ruben Patterson couldn't keep up with the speed. The Trail Blazers made great progress in the second quarter, winning 28-24.  single quarter score.

    The Sonics are used to this situation. As long as Zhang Hao doesn't give up, no one else will give up.

    Trailing 43 to 54 by 11 points at halftime, the Sonics continued to fight hard in the third quarter.

    The progress on the defensive end is still very obvious. In the past four weeks, the Sonics' biggest improvement has been the improvement in adaptation and adjustment on the defensive end. The improvement in personal ability on the defensive end cannot be achieved in a short time, but adapting to the opponent's offense,  The ability to adjust defensive coordination in a small area, the progress in this area is outstanding!

    In the third quarter, the Sonics relied on adaptation and adjustment on the defensive end to limit the Trail Blazers to only 23 points. At the same time, Cassell scored 10 points in the third quarter and Zhang Hao scored 4 points in the third quarter.  With 3 assists on the board, the Sonics scored 26 points in a single quarter, 69 to 77. The Sonics narrowed the point difference to single digits at the end of three quarters.

    At the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers, with an 8-point disadvantage, began to take the initiative. In the first 11 minutes and 37 seconds, the Sonics defended the Trail Blazers and only scored 20 points. The Sonics relied on Dell Curry and  Sam Perkins and Cassell's long-range shots, Ben Wallace and Jason Williams' secondary offense and pie-eating, as well as Zhang Hao's attracting double pass, scored 27 points.  !  Chasing the score to 96 to 97!

    At 11 minutes and 53 seconds, Nash, who scored 27 points and 9 assists tonight, missed a three-pointer.

    In the last 7 seconds, the SuperSonics called a timeout and returned the ball to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao hit the buzzer-beating mid-range shot against the defense of Rasheed Wallace and Steve Smith.

    Although Nash scored 27 points and 9 assists, Steve Smith scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Sabonis had 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Rasheed Wallace had 10 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks  The team led by 11 points in the first half.

    But in the second half, the Sonics relied on team offense and defense to launch a crazy counterattack of 55-43.

    In the end, Cassell's 21 points and 6 assists, Dell Curry's 11 points, Jason Williams and Ben Wallace combined for 15 points and 22 rebounds, Sam Perkins and Artis  With the special reception score and Zhang Hao's 20 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, the 27th triple-double of the season and the 5th buzzer beater of the season, the Sonics reversed the Trail Blazers 98-97 and improved their record to  48 wins and 18 losses!

    The twins, Starwind Son and Tianzun, were both beaten to the point of doubting their lives.

    You can lose this!

    From the 4th minute and 11 seconds of the first quarter, when the Trail Blazers took the lead for the first time, until the final whistle sounded, the Trail Blazers maintained their lead.

    But the ball that Zhang Hao threw one second before the final whistle fell into the basket, killing the game after the final whistle!

    In the regular season, Zhang Hao¡¯s career kills have reached 16 times, not counting those quasi-wins and theoretical winning goals, 16 times!  16 of 20 shots, 80% shooting rate!

    Nash and Rasheed Wallace have done more research on Zhang Hao than anyone else in the NBA.Si scored another three-pointer, and the Lakers chased the score to 98-99, only 1 point behind!

    At the critical moment, Zhang Hao stepped forward. Although there was no "kill" bonus, he hit Rick Fox in the back and made a jump shot, which also caused Payton, who came up to defend, to foul.

    101 to 98, with 4 seconds left on the clock, the SuperSonics led by 3 points!  At least it's guaranteed that he won't be killed during the regular time!

    However, although this goal was not a buzzer beater, it made the Lakers fans at the scene remember Zhang Hao¡¯s multiple buzzer beaters during his three years with the Lakers, including one in the Finals

    Memories kept coming back. When Zhang Hao walked to the free throw line, the big screen showed a close-up of Zhang Hao's face. I saw that familiar face, slightly more mature than before, but still a little green at the age of 23

    The emotions of the fans at the scene could no longer be restrained. The fans who were looking directly at Zhang Hao near the baseline were the first to shout, "Akers, congratulations on winning your first MVP!"

    A shout of "mvp" spread quickly. When Zhang Hao received the ball from the referee, the fans at the scene shouted "mvp" one after another!

    This time, Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment.

    The fans at the scene saw Zhang Hao¡¯s stunned expression with his mouth open on the big screen, and became even more excited and uncontrollable. The shouts of ¡°mvp¡± became even more enthusiastic, and then slowly began to get organized!

    Free throw, 10 seconds passedbut the referee didn't call it at this time, it's live broadcast!  During the free throws, the fans actually shouted "mvp". This referee has been officiating in the NBA for more than ten years, and this was the first time he encountered him!  And all the visiting team fans shouted MVP!

    O¡¯Neal pouted on the sidelines, thought for a moment, and plugged his ears, he wouldn¡¯t listen!

    After 15 seconds, the referee couldn't bear it anymore and urged Zhang Hao to take a free throw quickly.

    Zhang Hao came back to his senses, adjusted his mood, added a penalty shot and hit!

    The SuperSonics' lead expanded to 4 points, with 4 seconds left to seal the victory!

    The Lakers did not call a timeout and served directly. Pierce missed a long three-pointer

    In the end, thanks to Zhang Hao's 33 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Cassel's 17 points and 10 assists, Ben Wallace, Jason Williams and Schrempf combined for 25 points and 20 rebounds, the Sonics won 102-102.  98 narrowly defeated the Lakers and won the 57th victory of the season, 57 wins and 25 losses!

    After the final whistle sounded, Pierce shook his head helplessly and walked up to hug Zhang Hao: "Although my teammate is Shaq, I still hope you get the MVP!"

 Chapter 476 476. Everything between the lines is Ritian (please vote for 6000 words)

    The regular season of the 1999-00 season has come to an end.

    Western Conference rankings: The Lakers with 66 wins and 16 losses are first, the Trail Blazers with 59 wins and 23 losses are second, the SuperSonics with 57 wins and 25 losses are third, the Jazz with 56 wins and 26 losses are fourth, and the 55 wins and 27 losses are  The Suns are fifth, the Timberwolves are sixth with 50 wins and 32 losses, the Kings are seventh with 48 wins and 34 losses, and the Spurs are eighth with 46 wins and 36 losses.

    Eastern Conference rankings: 60-22 Pacers first, 54-28 76ers second, 52-30 Heat third, 49-33 Knicks fourth, 48-34  The Bulls are fifth, the Raptors are sixth with 47 wins and 35 losses, the Hornets are seventh with 44 wins and 38 losses, and the Bucks are eighth with 42 wins and 40 losses.

    Playoffs matchup schedule, on the 25th, the four-group series between the Pacers and Bucks, Knicks and Bulls, Trail Blazers and Kings, SuperSonics and Timberwolves will start first.

    On the 26th, the four-group series between the 76ers and the Hornets, the Heat and the Raptors, the Jazz and the Suns, and the Lakers and the Spurs started.

    This eight-group first-round series is more or less interesting.

    When the Timberwolves defeated the Spurs in the last game of the regular season on the night of the 22nd, the media began to hype the highlights of the first-round matchup.

    Pacers and Bucks, Reggie Miller vs. Ray Allen.

    From Ray Allen's performance in the first three years of his career, it's hard to tell how talented he is in three-point play. Last season, Ray Allen averaged 19.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. He's a solid figure for the future.  The posture of a 20+5+5 level all-around player.

    But this season, Ray Allen's style of play changed suddenly. After playing 82 full games during the season, he averaged 22.1 points per game and improved significantly. However, while his rebounds rose to 5.3, his assists dropped to 3.4.

    It does not mean that if a player averages 19.2 points per game in his third year, he will definitely become a 20+ scorer per game. On the contrary, a large number of players cannot do it. After a season in the NBA, a scorer who can average 20+ per game will be counted.  Grant Hill, who only played 31 games, only had 18 in total, and most of them averaged 20+ per game all year round.

    A player can average 20+ points per game. At least in that season, he was one of the league's top scorers.

    Among them, Ray Allen averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game after the season, second only to Payton's 2.4 three-pointers per game, and beat Zhang Hao, who also averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game, ranking second. Both are  After playing 82 games, Ray Allen averaged 2.305 three-pointers per game, with a total of 189 hits, while Zhang Hao made 186.

    In terms of three-point shooting percentage, Payton only shot 34.6% from three-point range, while Ray Allen shot 43.3% from three-point range.

    Reggie Miller is currently recognized as the number one three-point shooter in history, but this position is now challenged by Ray Allen. Judging from Ray Allen's performance in the fourth year of his career, even if he stabilizes his performance at this level, it will not be possible.  No matter how much progress we make, it will only be a matter of time before we surpass Reggie Miller in the future.

    The two faced off in the first round, which was a lot to watch.

    The Knicks and Bulls, Heat and Raptors, the highlights of these two series are simple but attractive, the playoff debuts of Kobe and Carter.

    Lakers and Spurs, O'Neal and David Robinson's feud.

    Trail Blazers and Kings, Rasheed Wallace vs. Chris Webber.

    Jazz and Suns, two stars vs two evils.

    The 76ers and the Hornets, this is probably the only series in the first round that doesn't have much to watch.

    SuperSonics and Timberwolves This series is considered the most unpredictable series.

    With 57 wins and 25 losses, the SuperSonics¡¯ record is too much!

    No matter how you look at it, they don¡¯t look like a team that can win 57 games, but they did win it and even rushed to third place in the Western Conference!

    In the 82 games played by the Sonics in the regular season, the most conspicuous characteristic displayed is the Sonics' defense.

    However, the Sonics' defense is not that good. It mainly relies on pressing the rhythm and strengthening confrontation. The average points conceded per game is the second lowest in the league, with an average of 88.6 points per game. This is good, but the average score is 94.2 points per game.  , ranking 23rd in the league, which is seventh from the bottom in the league.

    The key is defensive efficiency. Although the Sonics allow the second-lowest points per game in the league, in fact, the Sonics' defensive efficiency is only eighth in the league.

    The Knicks, Heat, 76ers, Lakers, Pacers, Jazz, and Trail Blazers in front all have higher defensive efficiency than the Sonics.

    The Sonics are good at rebounding, averaging 44.9 rebounds per game, fifth in the league. The first-place Lakers average 47 rebounds per game, and the second-place 76ers average 45.9 rebounds per game. In comparison, the Sonics have no rebounds.  Obvious dominance.

    The Sonics are good at creating mistakes for their opponents, averaging 15.2 turnovers per game, fourth in the league, but the Sonics themselves average 15.1 turnovers per game, ranking 13th in the league.

    Limiting opponents¡¯ shooting percentage, the SuperSonics?'s dissatisfaction.

    "Compared with the empty appearance of these display cabinets in 1997 when Little Loli just customized them, now they have many honors to prove it.

    Two FMVPs, two scoring champions, one assist champion, three first-team selections, 15 best of the week, six-month best, four-time all-star, six-month best rookie, one first-team all-rookie, one best  Best rookie

    "It's a pity that the All-Star vote leader only has an All-Star ring and no separate trophy But it's okay. I just don't know if he can win this year's mvp. O'Neal averaged 31.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 66 wins per game.  My record is a bit fiercebut my record is not bad either, with 57 wins. Although mvp this year is not just based on data, my record should be enough

    The best defensive formation should be able to be won"

    Zhang Hao thought for a moment. His competitors are Garnett, Duncan, Clifford Robinson, PJ Brown, Antonio Davis and Dell Davisand the ones who were let go during the selection of the best defensive team last year.  To Ratliff at forward.

    There is still a certain risk, but it doesn¡¯t matter. If we don¡¯t win this time, there will be in the future. And what if we win?

    Looking at these trophies, Zhang Hao recalled this past season and felt that it was more special and worth remembering than any of his previous seasons.

 Chapter 477 477. People who lie down and take honors (6000 words, please vote for me)

    Day day, day day, day day

    Fans read the news from the first game month of the NBA season to the present. Reading between the lines, horizontally and vertically, it seems that they can only see the words "day and day".

    On April 25th, the first game day of the playoffs arrived, and it was still the same.

    This morning, the league announced a regular season award, and SuperSonics general manager Larry Harris won the best manager award.

    The criterion for judging the best manager is actually very simple - the manager who rebuilds the most successful team has the highest probability of winning.

    When it comes to the most successfully rebuilt team this season, there is no doubt that it is SuperSonics general manager Larry Harris.

    After the league announced that the winner of the Best Manager Award was Larry Harris, the media unanimously commented that this was the darkest moment in the history of the NBA Best Manager Award.

    Larry Harris is a backdoor general manager. The media has long revealed that the Sonics chose Larry Harris as general manager because they wanted to hook up the coach Yin Hu, who is most familiar with Zhang Hao.  Lee Harris admitted it too.

    In terms of ability, although Larry Harris is not comprehensive, he has outstanding aspects. He has done a good job and executed the Sonics' future salary plan very well.

    But in terms of operation, Larry Harris has not made any outstanding transactions at all this year. Ratliff's exchange for Mookie Blakelow is quite good, but this transaction can be completed by any individual.  The trade is good, and it is based on the fact that the Sonics have Ben Wallace who needs to be corrected. Ratliff's exchange for Mookie Blaylock itself is a loss.

    It can be said that Larry Harris entered the public eye purely because Zhang Hao led the team to 57 wins, and the SuperSonics seemed to be rebuilt so successfully purely because Zhang Hao led the team to 57 wins.

    What¡¯s annoying is that the SuperSonics are really the most successful team in rebuilding this season, more successful than the Raptors and Bulls.

    Larry Harris just won the best manager award.

    So, Larry Harris won the best manager, and the person whose popularity continues to soar is Zhang Hao

    ¡­¡­

    At noon, league officials delivered the best manager trophy to the Key Arena.

    Owner Howard Schultz joked: "Congratulations, Larry, you have become the third best manager in the history of our team. It's awesome. It's great. If I had known I would be the manager myself, I would have you as a consultant."  "

    Colleagues on the coaching staff also ridiculed him.

    Larry Harris didn¡¯t expect that!  He thought that relying on his father to become the general manager was the starting point for him to become an NBA team management, but he reached the top directly!

    He can¡¯t think of any magical operation he can make to get the next best manager.

    ¡°Zhang Hao joins¡± this bonus, and he won¡¯t be able to get it a second time.

    But after being ridiculed, Larry Harris still fought back and asked Doug Collins: "Our head coach, you won two Coach of the Month awards this season, tied with Rivers of the Magic.  Do you think you can get the best coach?¡±

    Doug Collins had no reaction, and the Silver Fox exploded: "What do you mean? Are you mocking your father for getting the best coach because of that damn kid? I was already the best coach before he entered the NBA.  !

    Stop right here!  I haven¡¯t spanked you for more than twenty years, so your skin is itchy, right¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    At 7:40 pm, after entering the Key Arena, Garnett listened to the fans shouting "mvp" crazily, and looked at Zhang Hao, who was the last one to walk out of the field

    It¡¯s simply too much!

    With such a group of teammates, we won 57 wins!

    Garnett and Zhang Hao have played against each other 4 times this season, with 2 wins and 2 losses. However, every time Garnett plays against the Sonics, he finds it not difficult at first. Every pre-game analysis is dominated by multiple aspects.  The advantage has almost reached the point where 8 out of 10 points surround the Sonics.

    But in the end, slowly, they will be dragged down by the Sonics until the last moment. With such a clear advantage in strength, the Sonics won two games.

    It feels like Garnett is about to play in the playoffs with the SuperSonics. Looking back, I still feel numb.

    On the other side, Zhang Hao heard the fans shouting "mvp" as he entered the stadium. The actions of the Lakers fans can be regarded as a historical precedent.

    In the past, this kind of situation where the whole audience shouted "MVP" only happened on the night when MVP and FMVP awards were presented.

    Zhang Hao enjoys this feeling very much. After a year off, his desire for honor and becoming a super popular superstar has deepened.

    The atmosphere of the two teams is completely different. It is not caused by the record, but by the mentality.

    overtakeIf the team plays very well, then look at improvement, and secondly, look at the record.

    The head coaches of the Lakers and Pacers were actually eliminated early in the competition for the best coach. Both teams were predicted to win 60+ games.

    ? Then look at the improvement, no non-rebuilding team has improved greatly this season.

    Then the only choice is to rebuild the team.

    So, there are only four coaches left: the Sonics, Bulls, Raptors, and Magic.

    Doug Collins¡¯ two Coach of the Month awards illustrate how much initiative he has taken in this competition.

    In other words, the media had no choice but to vote for the Sonics.

    Based on the performance of this rebuilding team, the SuperSonics definitely deserves to have the best coach.

    So, Zhang Hao became popular again

    ¡­¡­

    The first round of the playoffs was exciting.

    In the first game of the four-group series on the 26th, the Lakers and Spurs scored 117 to 107. Pierce scored 36 points, and the Lakers took a clear lead in the fourth quarter.

    David Robinson plus a human shield still puts a lot of restrictions on O'Neal.

    The series between the 76ers and the Hornets was a crushing game. Iverson scored 35 points and 10 assists, and Duncan scored 25 points and 19 rebounds. There was no suspense in the game, but the powerful performance of the two No. 1 picks in the playoffs is still very interesting.  head.

    The Heat and the Knicks, the two leading teams in the iron-blooded era, are destined to withdraw from the first-tier team stage.

 Chapter 478 478. The call after the end (6000 words, please vote for me)

    It is indeed difficult to go further in the playoffs with a purely iron-blooded style of play.

    After the Knicks were defeated by the Bulls, the Heat also suffered misfortune. 85-95, the Heat lost to the Raptors at home!

    Carter's 29 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Odom's 10 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, Antonio Davis' 8 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, Doug Christie's 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals defeated the Heat.  Don't don't want it.

    The main problem was that Mourning had a problem. At the end of the regular season, Mourning's performance dropped sharply and he became easily fatigued on the court. As a result, the Heat were overtaken by the 76ers in the last few games, losing ground and becoming weaker.  The only chance for the Hornets to play against each other is against the youthful Raptors.

    The first game of the series between the Suns and the Jazz was the most dazzling game in the first round.

    Ma Long began to enter the miserable mode

    With 50 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in a single game, Malone almost had the best performance in the playoffs of his career. At least for him personally, in the playoffs when he was about to turn 37, he still maintained his previous level and even broke out.  .

    But the Jazz team only scored 95 points.

    Relying on Anfernee Hardaway's 24 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Kidd's 7 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists, Rodney Rogers' 22 points, Gugliotta's 14 points, Hu Weidong's 15 points  The Suns defeated the Jazz led by Malone, who scored 50 points, 103-95 on the road. They defeated the Jazz at the beginning and took away the home court advantage at the beginning!

    Facts have proved that Malone has not really aged yet. He averaged 27 points per game in the regular season and is still the same superstar who did not lose to Jordan in the regular season. However, Stockton, Hornacek, and Alden Polynis  Everyone is getting old.

    After the first game of each series, what is worth continuing to watch, what should not be watched, what is worth looking forward to Various types of fans already have their own opinions.

    The playoffs passed day by day, and on April 27, the SuperSonics came to the Target Center in Minneapolis to challenge the Timberwolves away from home.

    91 to 86, the Timberwolves returned to their home court and narrowly defeated the Sonics, avoiding the embarrassment of falling behind 0-2 at the start.

    On April 30, the SuperSonics at home defeated the Timberwolves 83-75.

    Zhang Hao scored more than 30 points for the first time in the series. The game is the time to polish a skill that has already matured in basic skills. After actual adjustments in two games, at least when facing the defense of Garnett or Joe Smith, Zhang Hao relied on a large number of  Turn around and step back to shoot, and he was able to score higher than before. He scored 10 points on 5 of 12 mid-range shots, opening up the situation. Zhang Hao scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in a single game, leading the way.  The Sonics prevailed.

    On the 29th and 30th, the league announced the Best Sixth Man and Best Rookie Awards.

    Jason Williams ranked fourth in terms of votes for Best Sixth Man, averaging 6.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game, which is still a bit far behind.

    The Bulls¡¯ Kobe Bryant won the Rookie of the Year award without any doubt, becoming the second player after Zhang Hao and Duncan to win the Rookie of the Month and Rookie of the Year award in a single season.

    On May 2, with a 2-1 lead, the Sonics came to the Target Center again to challenge the Timberwolves away from home.

    The Timberwolves fought hard and fought hard. In the first quarter, the Timberwolves led 21-15, but the Sonics also fought hard. It would be better if they could advance early.

    In the second quarter, the Sonics defeated the Timberwolves 19 to 15. After halftime, the two teams scored less than 40 points. The Sonics trailed by two points 34 to 36 entering the second half.

    The second half was even more brutal. The Sonics only scored 33 points, but defended the Timberwolves to only 31 points. The two teams entered overtime with a score of 67-67!

    In overtime, it was Cassel¡¯s world, scoring 5 points and 1 assist.

    With 5 minutes and 44 seconds of overtime, Cassel passed the ball to Zhang Hao on the wing and hit a three-pointer. 75 to 70, the SuperSonics secured the victory.

    In the end, the Sonics narrowly defeated the Timberwolves with an ultra-low score of 75-70 through overtime and advanced to the second round 3-1.

    Since the Timberwolves drafted Garnett, the history of the team has undergone earth-shaking changes. Since entering the playoffs, they have been eliminated in the first round for four consecutive years

    ¡­¡­

    After the playoffs started, Zhang Hao blocked outside information. In the era before smartphones, this kind of thing was easy to handle. If he didn¡¯t accept interviews, watch TV, or read newspapers, it would be OK.

    Jason Williams is also used to Zhang Hao. He will not gossip at this time. When can he make trouble casually and when should he do his best? Jia Daji has learned this a long time ago when he is by Zhang Hao's side.

    Little Loli also knows that she cannot affect Zhang Hao at this time. After Zhang Hao finishes the playoffs, there will be plenty of time to influence him.

    But you still have to attend the press conference after promotion.

    &nbWe can¡¯t accept this reality, but things have happened. Looking at the Blazers players celebrating crazily, the fans on site shouted "We have Akers" and "Wait, the gentlemen will sanction you next year"

    Zhang Hao has seen this scene before, but the fans in this arena were scolding him

    It was okay if the Sonics fans didn¡¯t yell, but when they did, Nash and Rasheed Wallace hugged each other and started crying before they even entered the tunnel

    They are the first to defeat Zhang Hao in the playoffs in three years!  Thinking back to two years ago, how could Nash and Rasheed Wallace dare to imagine such a day?

    Once upon a time, Nash and Rasheed Wallace thought - it would be great if we could beat Akers one day

    This good thing actually happened to them this year!

    The fans at the scene were frightened. Didn¡¯t they just curse at them?  Why are you crying?

    Nash and Rasheed Wallace used their strength to stop the abuse from Sonics fans.

    Zhang Hao, on his side, looked at this scene, smiled, and walked towards the players' tunnel. When his teammates saw Zhang Hao leaving, they followed suit.

    Zhang Hao was very reluctant to be eliminated in this round, but this time, his acceptance was even higher than in his rookie season.

    Men will not mature, they will only grow old.

    But men will become more experienced with time.

    Now, he is more skilled at how to adjust his emotions and mentality to face tomorrow.

    He recalled his goal at the beginning of the season - to reach the playoffs and strive to reach the second round.

    All are completed, the excess is completed, MVP, double for a while  and a fastest improvement award for pit father.

    After returning to the locker room and taking a shower, Zhang Hao was about to say something to his teammates. When he saw the phone on in the closet, he took it out and took a look

    The caller ID said - "theavengers".

 Chapter 479 479. The next few years are all opportunities!  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    May 18th, the day after the season ends, is SuperSonics Fan Appreciation Day.

    Zhang Hao came to the arena very early and made an appointment with the boss, management, and coaching staff. He had something to talk to them about at 8 o'clock in the morning.

    The season is over, and everyone is relaxed for the time being. No one arrived on time. Zhang Hao arrived at the arena at 7:50, and he didn¡¯t see owner Howard Schultz until 8:30, and the coaching staff didn¡¯t arrive until close to 9:00.

    At 9 o'clock, gathered in Howard Schultz's office, Zhang Hao couldn't help complaining: "The fans have arrived at the arena earlier than you."

    "We've been busy all season, and you still don't want us to have a good sleep? Capitalists can't exploit people like this!" Butch Baird complained strongly.

    "It's not that I don't want you to rest, it's him Ax, what's the matter with you calling us here so early? We will all be here at 10 o'clock anyway, why do you ask us to arrive so early at 8 o'clock?" Howard -  Schultz also asked questions continuously.

    Zhang Hao ignored the counter-complaints from the management and coaching staff, and his tone remained calm: "I received a call from Mr. Jordan last night. He wanted to join us, so I am going to tell you early."

    "Oh, Jordan wants to join, so he has to arrive earlyah! Who are you talking about? Jordan?" Howard Schultz suddenly made a strange cry in response.

    "Which Jordan? The Jordan named Michael?"

    "Could it be Eddie Jordan? He is 45 years old and has been a coach for many years after retiring."

    Originally, because the fan appreciation event started at 10 o'clock, the management and coaching staff who were planning to sleep until 8:30 or 9 o'clock were still yawning. The season was over, although they would soon be devoted to preparing for the new season.  At work, but before the end of the finals, they can rest, because their 2000 draft pick only has a second-round pick, and the current lineup does not have many valuable players. From the perspective of public opinion, their SuperSonics team  Players with positive trade values ??include Cassell, the two rookies, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace.

    Only these people can trade back a return of equal or higher value.

    Others can only trade players who are worse than them.

    Therefore, compared to the trade window of the draft, the Sonics are preparing to put the battlefield on the free market. At least during the period before the end of this season, the management and coaching staff are very relaxed and tense for about 10 days.  It¡¯s been months.

    But when Zhang Hao said the man's name, the loose atmosphere in the office was swept away, and everyone became nervous!

    After a group of people kept asking questions, looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s calm expression, everyone knew that Zhang Hao was talking about Michael Jordan wanting to join!

    Howard Schultz, who was still doing big things, calmed down first and asked Zhang Hao: "Akers, can your expression reveal a little bit about Jordan's excitement about joining?"

    "I am excited."

    ""

    Hearing Zhang Hao's words, others felt that they were hallucinating. "I am very excited" seemed to be written next to Zhang Hao's face.

    Seeing that everyone was finally getting serious, Zhang Hao said: "Mr. Jordan can accept a basic salary contract, but there is a condition for him to join. If he plays in our team for a full season, he needs to be given the right to purchase 3% of the team's shares.  For at least two seasons, he needs to be given the option to purchase 5% of the team's shares."

    "He wants 5% of the shares. If he joins with a basic salary, you can promise him for me and give him 5% of the team shares!"

    The Hawks have not made it to the playoffs, nor are they completely bad. They are just as good as the Rockets, Mavericks, Nuggets and other teams, but they have made a lot of money this season!

    Unlike Jordan who originally joined the Wizards three years after retiring, the fans' enthusiasm has long been transferred to the OK team. In the second year after Jordan's comeback, he didn't even make the All-Star starting lineup.

    Now Jordan just took a year off during the shortened season. After his comeback, although he no longer has the ability to surpass everyone by at least one level, he is still a super performer and is still the most popular and most profitable player in the league in the past 15 years.

    According to Forbes Sports, the Hawks' ticket revenue and advertising revenue this season are more than $30 million more in net profit than in the 1997-1998 season. Unlike in the original time and space, Jordan did not bring much revenue increase to the Wizards.  , and wasted a No. 1 pick.

    "The team is not mine, it is yours, Mr. Schultz. How could I just agree to something like thisMr. Jordan didn't ask me for a share of the team, he just asked me to tell you that the conditions for his joining are  The right to purchase shares of the team after retirement.¡±

    "You're doing a good job. Since it's a business, of course you can save as much as you can. He wants to buy 5% of the shares, which means we will have 20 million to 30 million more cash in the future Let's go! Let's go to Miami!" Howard Shu  WaltzEven if you can only practice for two hours a day, you still have enough time. After the offseason begins and before returning to the national team, you can make a sprint in terms of skills to be fully prepared for the Olympics.

    Zhang Hao has ideas for the next few world competitions.

    From what he learned, since 1998, many NBA superstars are unwilling to play in the World Series, which is the same as his impression.

    The latest training team list announced by the American Basketball Association includes O'Neal, Duncan, Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway, Iverson, Kobe, Malone, Eddie Jones, Finley  None of them are on the list.

    This trend is bound to intensify until the best players in the United States are deployed

    ¡­¡­

    Time passes day by day, and Zhang Hao¡¯s training progress is very good.

    In the NBA, there are only 4 teams left in the playoffs, and the competition is even more intense.

    There are four teams that all deserve to win the championship. They have different playing styles, but they are all exciting.

    In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers and the 76ers were very familiar with their opponents. There was a gap in their regular season records, but their performances in the playoffs were about the same. This was also proven when they played against each other. On June 3, the 76ers  The team moved back 10% at home and tied the score at 3-3.

    The Western Conference Finals, this one, is more intense and unpredictable than people expected.

    The Lakers lost their home court advantage at the beginning, but then won two games in a row and tied the score to 2-1.

    But then, on May 31st, June 2nd, and June 4th, the Trail Blazers won three games in a row, 4-2. The Trail Blazers eliminated the Lakers and took the lead in reaching the finals!

 Chapter 480 480. Super top pressure and single defense!  (6000 words, please vote monthly)

    The Trail Blazers have reached the Finals for two consecutive years!

    Since entering the modern basketball era in 1976, Western Conference teams have been able to reach the finals for two consecutive years. Before that, only two teams did it, the Lakers and Rockets, and the Trail Blazers became the third team. This is also  They reached the finals for the third time in 10 years.

    O¡¯Neal performed very well in the first three games. Although he lost the first game, he scored 40+ points in a single game for the fifth time in the playoffs this season, with 41 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

    In the second game, he scored 23 points, 21 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks. In the third game, he scored 31 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 blocks.

    But in the fourth game, O'Neal only scored 21 points and 9 rebounds. Although he had 6 assists, he did not block a single shot.

    By the fifth game, O'Neal had 18 points and 8 rebounds, and in the sixth game, O'Neal had 17 points and 12 rebounds

    Facing the inside rotation of Rasheed Wallace, Sabonis, and Brian Grant, O'Neal drove high and went low, and failed to play like he did in seven consecutive games with the Suns.

    Compared with the second round, O'Neal's performance of 25.1 points per game in the Western Conference Finals was indeed not that good.

    The decisive change in the Western Conference Finals was Blazers backup power forward Brian Grant.

    He played a very strong role in guarding O'Neal.

    When O'Neal's performance was hindered, as in the second round, it was difficult for Payton and Pierce to provide strong support. First of all, they had to deal with Nash, Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith and others.  It's already difficult. The key is that Pierce is too young. In the G5 Tianwangshan battle, he fouled 4 times in the half. The Lakers lost 92-99 and missed the opportunity to regain the initiative.

    As a result, in G6, the Lakers were defeated 77 to 103. They didn't rush forward in one breath, and then plummeted.

    After the Lakers were eliminated, on June 5th, the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals, the two teams played even crazier!

    The Trail Blazers are also difficult to deal with, but obviously O'Neal is even more difficult to deal with. The Trail Blazers have taken care of the Lakers, which is beneficial to the Eastern Conference teams!

    At 7:56 pm on June 5th, Reggie Miller, who was bitten by Iverson and had no chance to make a three-point shot in the game, caught the ball and forced it towards Iverson with 7 seconds left.  Three-point shot, one hit!

    85 to 81, the Pacers relied on Reggie Miller's key three-pointer to open the point difference to 4 points.

    As Iverson missed a three-pointer after the timeout, Duncan made a tactical foul on Rick Schmitz. Rick Schmitz made two free throws and the game ended.

    With Reggie Miller¡¯s 24 points, Jaylen Rose¡¯s 20 points, and Ratliff¡¯s 7 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks, the Pacers defeated the 76ers 87-81 and advanced to the finals 4-3!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao¡¯s family gathered together to watch the live broadcast of the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    "I didn't expect that the Trail Blazers and Pacers would play in the finals. I thought it would be a battle between O'Neal and Duncan for the number one center

    It¡¯s not bad. Between Miller and Nash, one of them will always win the championship.  "

    Hearing Zhang Hao's muttering, Britney asked: "Brother, you seem to admire Miller and Nash?"

    April, Britney, and Lelin have been learning Chinese for a long time. However, the time when they made the most progress was after the two cubs were born. Due to the big environment, they were not afraid that Tiga and Annie would not be able to learn English. On the contrary, Ai  Puli was very worried that the two children were not good at Chinese literature, so when there were no outsiders at home, they all spoke Chinese, creating a Chinese-speaking environment.

    April knew that it would be good for the children to start their own careers and decide what they want to do.

    ¡°But if some of the children don¡¯t have much talent and are very ordinary, they will have no choice but to return to China to inherit the family business and sell sneakers with their grandfather when they grow up.

    April¡¯s Chinese has also improved rapidly in the past few months. Britney and Lelin often come to Zhang Hao¡¯s house. Over time, the improvement has also been rapid.

    Zhang Hao responded: "Yes, compared to other players in the NBA, their physical fitness is very ordinary except for their natural soft touch and excellent ball feel, but they can become top players, which is worthy of admiration."

    "That's itactually, I prefer to watch the game between the Trail Blazers and Pacers. Compared with the Lakers and 76ers, the team play of these two teams attracts me more."

    "Lelin also prefers to see the Trail Blazers and Pacers play in the finals!"

    "Le Lin, why are you doing this?"

    "This way O'Neal and Duncan won't be able to win championships! O'Neal won't win more championships than his brother, and Duncan won't be able to catch up with his brother's championships!"

    "That makes sense!"

    Zhang Hao and Xiao Loli high-fived in agreement.

    The Eastern and Western Conference finals are over, and on June 8th, the finals will begin.

    &nbsRecently, he finally completed the 9th hour of training in the 9th group of the 9th phase of the 'Pressure Defensive Master' training mission.

    "The muscle memory engraving has been completed. Congratulations to the host. When used by: Specially signed player Zhang Hao, when the conditions are met (sufficient research and understanding of the opponent, concentration, and full effort), the defensive end can show a maximum rating of 95  The ability to press and defend alone.¡±

    Engraved into the muscle memory, this feeling was so refreshing that Zhang Hao once thought he was going to twitch to death!  It¡¯s even more painful than when the top training card¡¯s muscle memory was engraved into mid-range shooting and strength with a 90 rating!

    But after finishing engraving the muscle memory, looking at the system prompts, my mood suddenly became better.

    "It's been about a year and a half, right? Finally, the pressure defense has reached a super-top level! I really want to find someone to try it right awayEh? Let's play with Kobe? He doesn't seem to be preparing to play in the Olympics and has not gone to the American training team.  ¡­¡±

    Originally, Zhang Hao thought he could complete the training in mid-June, but in the last 36 hours of training, the difficulty actually increased. Before, he could train steadily for 3-4 hours a day, but it was suddenly halved to every day.  Only two hours to complete.

    Fortunately, the training was completed at the originally planned time!

    "I haven't practiced my skills properly for almost a month and a half. During this time, I have been taking care of my children and practicing defense. I have two days of rest and will practice triple threat and technical training with Piccolo, trying to adjust my condition before returning to the national team!"

 Chapter 481 481. Aix, can I not retire?  (7000 words, please vote for me)

    On July 1, 2000, the free market began.

    At 12 noon, the NBA officially announced the salary cap for the new season, which is US$42,567,737.

    This is nearly $1.5 million higher than the expected increase after the salary cap was announced last year. The editor-in-chief of Forbes Sports Rich List analyzed that this is because of the positive impact of choosing to come back. When Forbes Sports Rich List predicted the income for the 99-00 season last year  , Jordan has no signs of comeback yet.

    After the new salary cap was announced, a oily man was ecstatic at the American Airlines Center in Miami!

    ??Immediately ordered his secretary to send an offer to the man he liked.

    Not long after, the Heat¡¯s assistant coach, general manager advisor, and head of the business operations department all came to the general manager¡¯s office.

    Stan Van Gundy asked: "Boss, offer him at this price? Or is it such a long contract?"

    Pat Riley said with certainty: "He is definitely an important piece of our championship puzzle! I contacted his agent this morning and they did not accept a short-term contract. The Kings have already sent them an offer of 40 million for four years.  If we don¡¯t act quickly, we won¡¯t be able to grab anyone!¡±

    "But¡­¡­"

    "No but!"

    Pat Riley¡¯s momentum was so strong that Stan Van Gundy didn¡¯t dare to say anything.

    After a while, Pat Riley came to his senses and said: "Are you talking about that man? I have contacted him before, and he hasn't decided where to play yet, but after my questioning, he revealed,  He can continue to play for a basic salary and will not have any salary requirements. He just wants to join a championship team."

    Stan Van Gundy suddenly realized: "The teacher is really amazing!"

    ¡­¡­

    The free market is open, and this summer is destined to be crazy, because a superstar-level player will enter the free market, and he is a superstar who brings his own traffic and is bound to make a team a popular team - Michael Jordan!

    From the age of 36 to 37, Jordan averaged 27.2 points per game. Even if the data shrinks a bit next year, averaging 25+5+5 per game, most people think it is still okay. Look at Stockton, 35  When he was 38 years old, he averaged 12 points and 8 assists per game. Now at 38 years old, he still averages 12 points and 8 assists per game.

    Stockton averaged 12 points and 8 assists per game. In people's minds, it is just as difficult as Jordan's average of 25+5+5 per game. Even if he goes to a strong team and reduces the ball rights, with Jordan's last championship with the Bulls,  Law, average 20+ per game, just take it.

    Even the top teams wanted to get Jordan. After the Eagles announced that Jordan would be authorized to contact other teams in advance, the Eagles' season had just ended. Before Jordan's rib fracture healed, more than 15 teams  Scrambling to call Jordan.

    In addition, the 76ers and Pacers have won the championship successively, which also proves that after eight years of dominating the NBA, the Bulls-Rockets-Lakers have finally begun to enter the era of chaos. Every team that hopes to compete for the championship wants to win the championship.  They want to strengthen, they want to seize the current opportunity, and they are willing to overdraft and send multiple draft picks to trade stars in the future.

    This will inevitably attract the favor of many teams that have outstanding players but weak overall team strength. The 76ers, Bulls, and Raptors have been successfully rebuilt, allowing many teams that have not been able to rise for many years to put their hopes in the future.  Place on top of the rotten food.

    Although many team managements know in their hearts that so many teams have failed in recent years, only those three teams have succeeded, but the draft = gambling, with a gambler's mentality, everyone thinks they will be the next lucky one.

    However, the craziness at the beginning of this summer surprised many teams!

    On July 2, the day after the free market opened, the Heat officially announced that they had reached an agreement with former Trail Blazers player Brian Grant. The sky-high 7-year contract of US$84 million will help the center to limit O'Neal's efforts.  Excellent power forward under his command.

    This signing broke a lot of glasses!

    Brian Grant has been pushing with the Trail Blazers, wanting a five-year, 50 million contract, and the Kings also offered a four-year, 40 million contract.

    Brian Grant prefers to stay with his original team. The Trail Blazers previously offered a five-year, 40 million contract, which was increased to five years, 50 million. The problem will not be big.

    The 28-year-old Brian Grant, with his style of play, can maintain his form for 3-4 years. He is not the kind of defense that relies on athletic ability, but relies on enthusiasm and skills to make good use of his own strength.  Athletic ability.

    According to Sports Illustrated, Brian Grant and the Trail Blazers are close to completing a contract extension, and the Trail Blazers have relented.

    At this time, the Heat suddenly announced the signing of Brian Grant, a blue-collar player who averaged 11.5 points and 9.8 rebounds in the best year of his career for 84 million in seven years Everyone found it incredible!

    This is not over yet. On the evening of the 2nd, Heat p.j. Brown and Jamal MaImpulsively, they insisted on trading Hill back. Although he was very good, the risk was too great. Both Del and Larry, father and son, said that Ben's defense was better than previously expected.  "

    "I understand, but I never thought about trading for Hill"

    On July 16, when Howard Schultz was free, Zhang Hao consolidated a wave of three-threat standing shots and completed a week of shooting recovery training. He was also preparing to rest for two days. The two made an appointment to meet.

    Half a month after the free market started, the management came to meet with Zhang Hao. It was obvious that all previous signing plans had failed.

    Looking at the team's current roster, Zhang Hao asked: "Mr. Schultz, Marley was not traded and Manning chose to join the Lakers with a minimum salary instead of us?"

    "The 76ers would rather send Marley to the Lakers than trade with us. Many teams are like this. They are worried that your teammates will become stronger again. Manning believes more in the Lakers who have reached the Western Conference Finals. He  The only teams that told us he wanted to join were the four teams that made it to the East and West finals last season."

    "Manning's idea is normal. No matter which team wins the championship among the four teams that reached the Eastern and Western Conference finals last season, they all deserve it."

    Zhang Hao looked at the team lineup.

    Point guard: Cassell, Mookie Blakelow.

    Shooting guards: Ruben Patterson, Dale Davis, Corey Benjamin.

    Small forward: James Posey, Artest.

    ? Power forward: Schrempf, Kukoc, Jason Williams.

    Center: Ben Wallace, Sam Perkins.

    Counting Zhang and Jordan, who has not yet officially signed a contract, there are already 14 people on the roster.

    "Mr. Schultz, I don't think we need to worry. After we traded back to Kukoc, the main roster is enough. Jason is one year older. It is estimated that he will be more suitable as a center in the new season. Since we have determined that the signing target is  Veterans like Marley and Manning cannot be shaken, and young talents are of no use to us and will affect us."

    "I understand, Del and Doug also mean the same thing. Our 12-man activation list must be 12 players except Sam and Corey. If we find another inside or outside player, we must be willing to play in the field.  For veterans who activate the list and become reserve players, shall we officially announce the signing of Jordan? This will be more attractive to veterans.

    Originally, we were worried that after Jordan joined forces with you, other teams would not be willing to help us strengthen, but now it seems that even if Jordan does not come, other teams will be just as afraid of you.  "

    This is what Zhang Hao and Jordan were worried about, so this matter has been kept secret. Now it seems that it is not necessary. Zhang Hao nodded in agreement.

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao remembered something: "I heard that Chris changed jobs?"

    "Yes, the Bulls offered him an annual salary of 3 million, and he left." Speaking of this, Howard Schultz looked indignant, not at all as calm as when doing business.

    Zhang Hao nodded: "He really talks about principles."

    "He talks about principles?"

    "Yes, he has always been very principled. He will work for whoever gives him more money. He was unwilling to become a regular trainer of a team before, but you gave him four times the salary of doing odd jobs, 2 million a year.  Damn, didn¡¯t he agree immediately?¡±

    Howard Schultz didn¡¯t know what to say, so it took him a long time to say: ¡°What you said makes sense.¡±

    Although it¡¯s not a big deal, it¡¯s still troublesome without a shooting coach. James Posey and Artest both need shooting coaches

    "By the way, Mr. Schultz, I have a shooting coach candidate. He is very good at three-point shooting and has won the three-point contest championship."

    "Who? Price? Hodges?"

    "No, it's the one from the Jazz"

    ¡­¡­

    On July 17, 2000, the SuperSonics officially announced that it had signed a contract with Michael Jordan for an 11-year veteran's basic salary of 3.09 million U.S. dollars in a 2+1 three-year period!

    As soon as this news came out, it shocked the basketball world for a whole year!

    Zhang Hao arrived at the Mindel Villa area in Elmhurst County, Illinois, at 4 pm on the 17th. After deciding on the matter yesterday, he made a phone call to make an appointment to meet the other party. He flew to Estonia at noon today.  Elmhurst County.

    Zhang Hao has always done things neatly and neatly. When he arrived at Hornacek's house, he quickly explained his purpose directly.

    After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Hornacek's facial expression was very tangled, and he didn't know how to speak for a long time.

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s increasingly confused eyes, Hornacek said bravely: ¡°Akers, can I not retire or become a shooting coach first? Can you let me be your teammate first?

    I think I can still do it and I can still play ball.

    I can work as a shooting coach for free. Can you communicate with your boss and leave me a spot on the 15-man roster?  "

 Chapter 482 482. Golden Age: Preface (7000 words, please vote for me)

    "Mr. Hornacek, didn't you say you were going to retire after the playoffs?"

    "Yes, I plan to retire, because I can feel that although the Jazz are still very strong, their strength is steadily declining and there is no possibility of winning the championship. In this season that just ended, I can clearly feel that  , we can only expect our opponents to perform poorly, and we cannot expect us to be stronger than our opponents. We will not become weak immediately, but we will become weaker year by year, and we will become older year by year.  "

    The confusion in Zhang Hao¡¯s bright and clean eyes has not dissipated.

    Hornacek could only say: "Actually, I entered the free market after my contract expired last summer, but no other stars invited me. Some weak teams wanted me to lead rookies. In the end, only the Jazz gave me 1  5.2 million annual renewal.

    ¡°I want to win the championship, but I also want to be respected.

    Although the purpose of your coming to my house is not what I thought, you are the first superstar to come to my house during the offseason to recruit me.

    "If you can, I'm asking you to help me get a spot on the Sonics' 15-man roster"

    Zhang Hao nodded, his expression unchanged. Although it was fun, he was a professional when it came to showing off.

    ¡°I understand, but I don¡¯t think I have to fight for a quota.¡±

    "Aix! Don't you still have a spot in your team? Already someone has been selected? I asked my friends in the management circle, and they said that your recruitment has been blocked!"

    Zhang Hao shook his head: "That's not what I mean. I mean there is no need to fight for it. Mr. Hornacek, I am very happy to have an outstanding teammate like you. Congratulations, you are about to become the championship!"

    Does this mean you can win the championship?

    Hornacek was just prepared to give it a try. If he got it, he would be happy. But if he didn¡¯t get it no, there was nothing he could do about it. He was already 37 years old.

    But now he has to fight for the hope before him, even if he has to sacrifice his old face.

    But thisisn't it too crazy!

    Hornacek admitted that Zhang Hao + Jordan are too invincible.

    But you can¡¯t be so crazy, right?

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s still bright eyes, he did not reveal any arrogance, as if what he just said was just stating the facts

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Jordan joins the SuperSonics to team up with Zhang Hao!

    SuperSonics official announcement, Jordan confirmed in an interview in Miami.

    Heat general manager Pat Riley had blood stuck in his throat.

    Before, Jordan said that he was just going to Miami to recuperate from his injuries. Pat Riley thought that Jordan was implicitly waiting for him to visit.

    After visiting several times, he didn¡¯t see him twice, and he made many phone calls, but got no response. Pat Riley thought that the sincerity shown was not enough, and he planned to spend a summer to impress Jordan.

    In the end, he just moved himself!

    Jordan really just came to Miami to recuperate!

    By July 20, after recovering from his injury and recuperation time, Jordan came to Seattle and officially completed his contract extension with the SuperSonics after receiving the doctor's permission to train.

    Pat Riley looked at the TV screen standing with Zhang Hao. Howard Schultz showed the No. 23 SuperSonics jersey and handed it to Jordan. The three of them took a group photo

    It was only at this moment that the greasy-headed man was willing to admit - he really paid by mistake!

    ¡­¡­

    After Jordan officially joined, Hornacek came to Seattle on July 22, demonstrated his training ability to the Sonics owner, management, and coaching staff, and explained in detail how he would work as a trainer.  .

    Hornacek is really planning to become a shooting assistant after retiring. He has made all the preparations in the past few months, and now it comes in handy.

    ?Really very professional!

    Relying on his excellent shooting coaching skills, Hornacek successfully obtained a one-year veteran's minimum salary contract of US$1.03 million from the Sonics.

    Hornacek felt like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

    When he arrived in Seattle, he met many old friends and rivals.

    Kendall Gill, class of 1990, is 32 years old. He averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game for the Nets last season.

    Sherman Douglas, class of 1989, is less than 34 years old and averaged 8.2 points and 4.1 assists last season.

    Ronny Sekali, the No. 9 pick in the 1988 class, went to play in Europe due to the lockout after the 1997-98 season. He averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds per game in the 1997-98 season and career averages of 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.

    There are also Billy Owens, Beebe Dele, Eric Murdock

    According toThe media, experts, and fans all put their hopes on these five countries.

    Among them, the Chinese team with Zhang Hao has become the most watched team at this time!

    ¡­¡­

    The group stage before the opening ceremony was easily won.

    The next day came, September 15th, the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games. There were no games scheduled today.

    Tomorrow¡¯s match with Italy and the match with France the day after tomorrow are not easy to play. Both teams are the second seeded teams like the Chinese team. The first seed is of course the only seed of the American team.

    After a day of preparation, in the evening, the Chinese men's basketball team met with the Olympic team. There is a very important thing tonight - the entrance ceremony.

    The momentum cannot be lost. Originally, the Chinese Olympic Committee wanted Zhang Hao to be the flag bearer, but Zhang Hao did not agree. In the end, Liu Yudong was the flag bearer.

    Although Zhang Hao did not have high expectations for the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games, Zhang Hao was still very excited about the entrance ceremony.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Hao was waiting with the rest of the Olympic team.

    After an hour and a half, after 8:20, finally, the Chinese Olympic delegation entered the venue.

    Liu Yudong is the flag bearer, and the men¡¯s basketball team is naturally at the front.

    Entering the Sydney Olympic Stadium, Zhang Hao felt completely different.

    There were 110,000 spectators at the scene. As an athlete, he walked into the stadium and saw the national flag held by Liu Yudong. Zhang Hao regretted

    Suddenly, screams and cheers broke out sporadically, and soon spread to the entire stadium. The deafening cheers made Zhang Hao take his eyes back from the national flag and look at the excited audience What happened?

    At this time, Wang Zhizhi pushed Zhang Hao and said a few words, but found that he could not hear clearly. Seeing Zhang Hao's confused eyes, Wang Zhizhi pointed to the huge screen on one side of the stadium.

    On the screen, it was he who showed a close-up of someone!

    It had been more than ten seconds since the restlessness at the scene started, but the camera was still on him.

    Only then did he know why his father would arrange x sports endorsement activities for him in Sydney after the men¡¯s basketball Olympics.

    Looking at himself on the screen, Zhang Hao thought for a moment, put his hands on his left chest, picked up the Five-Star Red Flag logo and showed it!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 483 483. He is not fighting alone!  (12,000 words, please vote monthly)

    At 3 pm on September 16th, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team¡¯s match against the Italian team started.

    In the last game, the starting twin towers were Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi. This time it was Zhang Hao and Yao Ming. The outside lines were Guo Shiqiang, Hu Weidong, and Sun Jun. Sun Jun replaced Li Nan in the starting lineup.

    Around Zhang Hao, the two fierce frontcourt players Sun Jun and Yao Ming were promoted to the starting position to deal with the Italian team's super hand-to-hand combat.

    The Italian team was last year¡¯s European Championship champion and performed well in the 1998 World Championships, relying on fierce physical confrontation.

    This game was very difficult. During regular time, Zhang Hao, Yao Ming, and Battelle, who came on rotation, were responsible for defense, while Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi, who came on rotation, were responsible for offense.

    Yao Ming¡¯s defensive progress in his freshman season has been huge. Compared with the World Youth Championship, there have been earth-shaking changes.

    Throughout his freshman season, John Thompson has been polishing his ability to protect the frame and exploit his height advantage and sense of interference with shots. In his freshman season, he was only 7 votes away from being ranked second in the AAC League's best defensive player.  name.

    The NCAA, like the international arena, does not have three seconds of defense. Yao Ming played very comfortably.

    In the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao, who played 16 minutes in the first half and 8 minutes in the third quarter, sucked on his jersey and started rushing mode.

    At this time, the Italian team, which was being consumed by Sun Jun, Yao Ming, Battelle, Wu Qinglong, Li Nan and other players weighing at least 100 kilograms, could no longer keep up with Zhang Hao's speed, and it was difficult for the defenders to keep up.

    The two teams scored 42-44 in the first three quarters, with the Chinese team trailing by 2 points. Both the Chinese team and the Italian team's shooting skills were extremely poor. Zhang Hao counterattacked continuously and scored 11 points in the final quarter. The Chinese team scored 14-5.  Single quarter score.

    In the end, the Chinese team relied on Zhang Hao¡¯s 20 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks in a single game to defeat the Italian team 58-49!

    In fact, in the past few competitions, the Chinese team has the tonnage and confrontation to compete with European hand-to-hand teams, but its physical strength and scoring continuity at critical moments are not as good as this. But with Zhang Hao, the Chinese men's basketball coaching staff dares to do this  Fight and win!

    Different from the previous game before the opening ceremony, this game after the opening ceremony, the 13,000 seats were almost full, and nearly half of them were Chinese people who came to watch the game. The first three quarters were very worrying, and the rest  , at least there are people from other countries who come to watch the game with Zhang Hao in mind.

    Although in the past few years, Chinese people have begun to make more money, and more and more wealthy people have begun to increase, but most of the people who spend so much money to watch football here are basketball enthusiasts, at least sports fans, and people who pay attention to basketball.

    They understand that when the Chinese men's basketball team played against strong European teams before, it could go back and forth most of the time, but generally in games where the competition is this strong, in the second half of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team cannot hold on.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s performance of 11 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks in the last quarter alone defeated the Italian team 11-5!

    After the game, the scene was full of cheers, some just came to watch Zhang Hao¡¯s game, and some cheered for the Chinese team.

    They have already won two games. If they win one more, they will qualify!  That is to say, they may be able to show up!

    The Chinese team players are also very excited. However, after the last World Championships, looking at three NBA players Zhang Hao, Wang Zhizhi, and Hu Weidong, as well as Yao Ming, a quasi-NBA player who dominates the field with his ability to protect the framethe other 8  The Chinese team players all thought it was normal to win!

    Zhang Hao led his team to defeat the Italian team with 11 points in the final quarter, which brought a huge confidence boost to his teammates!

    When the teammates came up with the idea that ¡®we are really the top team in the world¡¯, it was deepened.

    Zhang Hao also received the reminder of the ¡®Returning Heart¡¯ trigger.

    ¡­¡­

    After playing against Italy, we will play against France the next day.

    After defeating the Italian team, the Chinese men's basketball team was banned from playing. They all returned to the Olympic Village to rest. They were not allowed to go out and were not allowed to see relatives and friends.

    No one expressed dissatisfaction with this arrangement. It is indeed quite tiring to play against the Italian team.

    Since the Yugoslavia and Russia teams are not at their peak this year, in addition to the United States team, the two strongest opponents predicted by the Chinese men's basketball coaching staff are one of them being the French team and the other being the Lithuanian team.

    The Silver Foxes are actually very confident about defeating the Italian team. As long as they have Zhang Hao here, they will be able to defeat the Italian team.

    Last year, the Italian team won the European Championship. The European media used the word "upset" to describe it. The French team and the Russian team were so surprised in the semi-finals that they failed to shoot. The two teams totaled three-pointers.  After scoring 0 for 25, they were defeated by the youth-dominated Spanish team and the Italian team that purely played hand-to-hand defense to reach the final.

    When it came to the final, the players of the Spanish teamAlan Houston and Steve Smith are both top shooters who can adapt to shooting in the international arena. Under Kidd's instigation, Raheem and Antonio McDyess have very good opportunities to cut into the frame.

    In the first quarter, the Chinese team sent out its strongest lineup, a highly targeted style of play, Yao Ming¡¯s unexpected inside attack, Zhang Hao¡¯s defense that confused Carter and gave them an advantage.

    But in the second quarter, the Chinese team was unable to maintain its advantage, and it was normal to be chased by points.

    At 7 minutes and 22 seconds of the second quarter, the US team launched an 18-13 offensive to chase the score to 38-40, with the point difference only two points.

    The Silver Foxes were ready to call a timeout and replace Yao Ming. To be able to play like this, when Zhang Hao was flanked, Hu Weidong and Li Nan, who came on the rotation, were already working hard.

    The Chinese team currently has a lineup of Guo Shiqiang, Hu Weidong, Zhang Hao, Gong Xiaobin, and Wang Zhizhi.

    Opposite is a lineup of Kidd, Alan Houston, Carter, Antonio McDyess, and Mourning.

    It was the Chinese team's turn to attack. Hu Weidong continued to play singles, creating a rest opportunity for Zhang Hao, but this time he missed a pull-up jumper in the face of Kidd and Alan Houston's double attack!

    Silver Fox is a little annoyed, he should have called a timeout just now what the hell!

    Gong Xiaobin rushed inside, and when Mourning was stuck in position, he pressed on Mourning's head and pushed the ball that just hit the basket directly in!

    This is not the first time he has been dunked by a Chinese insider. Before Zhang Hao, Mourning had been dunked by a Chinese insider in the world arena. Mourning immediately faced the referee and raised his hand to draw circles, but the referee waved his hand and signaled to the American team.  attack.

    This is the difference in the rules. In international competitions, as long as the ball hits the basket, it can be taken down directly!

    42 to 38, relying on Xiaoyao Wang¡¯s make-up dunk, the Chinese team stabilized the situation.

    Immediately afterwards, Kidd, who was left open, missed a three-pointer. Looking back, Wang Zhizhi also worked hard, catching the ball more than one meter away from the three-point line outside the top arc and hitting a three-pointer!  Wang Zhizhi's first three-pointer tonight!  But the time came just right, 45 to 38, the Chinese team hit a wave of 5 to 0, once again widening the point difference to 7 points!

    The U.S. team always focuses on the players who are performing well in the Chinese team.

    Before, the US team¡¯s attention was entirely on Hu Weidong and Zhang Hao, and Gong Xiaobin completed the make-up dunk.

    Now, the attention was attracted by Hu Weidong, Zhang Hao, and Gong Xiaobin. Wang Zhizhi slowly moved back from the top arc to visually measure the distance. The US team did not notice at all, but Wang Zhizhi made a three-pointer!

    But for the Chinese team, Zhang Hao is not fighting alone!  It¡¯s not just four players who play in the United States fighting!

    ? Immediately afterwards, Alan Houston made a long two-pointer, but then Guo Shiqiang returned the favor with a throw-in while running to catch the ball.

    When the U.S. team attacks, Carter also imitates Wang Zhizhi and shoots ultra-long three-pointers from a distance of more than one meter from the top arc. In the NBA, he can also shoot from this distance.

    However, when the shot was thrown, Carter secretly screamed that something was wrong He followed the NBA's three-point line distance in the top arc area and added one meter to the distance to exert force!

    Kidd is a good rebounder. When he saw the flight path of the ball, he knew something was wrong and retreated quickly. Carter rushed in to grab the ball. The ball hit the neck of the basket hard. Carter's shot was in a very wrong direction.  Yes, it was just too strong, and it bounced towards the free throw line.

    But the ball was grabbed by Zhang Hao!

    Zhang Hao grabbed the ball that popped up at the free throw line and immediately counterattacked, passing Carter. When he rushed out of the three-point line, he passed Hu Weidong who was starting a fast break. Soon, Hu Weidong couldn't help but sneered.  Catchphrase He can't catch up with Zhang Hao!

    On the other side, after Kidd retreated to the backcourt and entered the three-point line, he slowed down. After retreating to the three-second zone, he turned his head because of the exclamation. Without stopping, he reached the dotted semicircle inside the free throw line.  As soon as I turned my head, I saw a flash of red passing in front of me, from bottom to top

    ¡°Fuck¡­¡­¡±

    Kidd cursed subconsciously.

    He was not wrong

    Amid the wild cheers of the fans at the scene, Zhang Hao took off half a step from the free throw line, flew directly over Kidd's head, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

 Chapter 484 484. The golden era of Chinese basketball begins!  (Please vote for 15,000 words!)

    It¡¯s different from Carter¡¯s scream of surprise after leaping over the French center for a dunk.

    As if he had dunked an empty basket, Zhang Hao caught the ball that bounced off the floor, pushed it towards the running referee, turned around and ran back to the backcourt.

    It seems that when I dunked just now, I didn¡¯t see anyone at all.

    Kidd was confused, but Carter

    ¡®Fortunately I chose to rush and not go back!  Sure enough, men cannot retreat!  ¡¯

    Carter can basically conclude that if he retreats, he will basically end up with the same end.

    Kidd didn¡¯t even have a chance to react just now, and Carter didn¡¯t think he could get any better in the same situation.

    49 to 40, the Chinese team opened the point difference to 9 points!

    The US team did not call a timeout!

    Tomjanovich knows that calling a timeout at this time will be an unprecedented blow to the players.

    But it wouldn¡¯t be much better if we didn¡¯t call a timeout. The entire Chinese team became furious because of Zhang Hao¡¯s dunk!

    Carter finally adapted to Zhang Hao's defense. After all, he is a star close to the super level. It is impossible to lock down one-on-one. He broke through and attracted Gong Xiaobin to attack, and passed the ball to Antonio McDyess who cut in, but Wang Zhizhi  Actively defending, Antonio McDyess cut into the layup and raised the ball but was intercepted by Wang Zhizhi!

    Looking back, Wang Zhizhi caught the ball under the basket, took a feint, took a step, patted the ball, turned around, and made a step-up throw!

    With Alan Houston missing a three-pointer at the buzzer, 51 to 40, the Chinese team led by 11 points entering the second half!

    Wang Zhizhi 13 points, Zhang Hao 11 points, Yao Ming 7 points, Hu Weidong 6 points, Li Nan 4 points, Sun Jun the whole Chinese team went wild!

    The key point is Zhang Hao¡¯s counterattack dunk that leaped over Kidd, which shattered the mentality of the American team.

    In an instant, Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in the NBA in the past few years, especially in the season that just ended, Zhang Hao averaged a triple-double, 86 points, 76 pointsall kinds of performances, lingering in the minds of the US team players like a nightmare

    Putting aside the psychological impact, the Chinese men's basketball team went berserk at the end of the second quarter, with a crazy 11-2 run, gaining an 11-point lead and allowing Yao Ming to rest for the entire second quarter. The biggest benefit was  , but Zhang Hao was not too tired in the first half!

    It¡¯s true that Wang Zhizhi scored 13 points, but against the US team, Yao Ming¡¯s offensive ability was better. Of Wang Zhizhi¡¯s 13 points, only one was scored in singles, and the other 11 points were all in response to the attack, but tonight Wang Zhizhi¡¯s response shot  The success rate of attacking the frame is extremely high.

    Indeed, in the past two years with the Kings, when Wang Zhizhi was not the top choice inside, his all-round skills would have played better!

    Tonight¡¯s game against Team USA, a team composed of NBA players, once again proved this point.

    At the end of the halftime break, the U.S. team players saw Zhang Hao and Yao Ming playing hand in hand again Commentators from various countries were saying that the U.S. team lost the first half because of the center.

    Mourning enters, the US team cannot stop Wang Zhizhi from scoring.

    Others play center, and Zhang Hao and Yao Ming are unstoppable at the basket.

    Since the 4th Dream Team, this is the most frustrating time for the center of the US team.

    But no one thought this would happen before the Olympics. In the past three years, Mourning has been the second center in the NBA, beating David Robinson, Mutombo and others.

    But in the past 5 games, facing French center Frederic Weiss, who was leapfrogged by Carter, facing Sabonis, facing the Chinese inside group Mourning has been unable to do any of them!

    In the third quarter, Tomjanovich replaced Vin Baker, who had played 10 minutes in the previous four games. He had to give it a try.

    Then, as for the Chinese team, in the third quarter, Zhang Hao can let go!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A simple and rough style of play, if he can make a shot and his teammates can make a shot, that¡¯s fine.

    If you can¡¯t make a shot, that¡¯s okay.

    However, most of the opportunities still come from Zhang Hao himself. As long as he breaks into the inside, Vin Baker will always be slow to cover up the defense.

    There is no other way, Tomjanovich can only replace Mourning. Although Mourning can't expand for some reason, he still has breakthrough defense and low post defense.

    Taking the initiative, the Silver Fox seemed to be at ease. When Mourning came on, he replaced Yao Ming and replaced him with Wang Zhizhi. He was originally worried that Wang Zhizhi would not be able to guard Mourning, but after the game started, he found that he was enough. Mourning's decline was the most serious.  It's all about offense.

    In the middle and later part of the third quarter, the Chinese team and the American team were inseparable. Everyone in the Chinese team worked hard. With Zhang Hao, who was full of firepower, he and the American team scored 23 to 24 in a single quarter.

    After three quarters, the Chinese team led the U.S. team by 10 points 74 to 64.Cry, but they are the ones who are really sad.

    5 seconds, from heaven to hell!

    During the group stage, the dream team¡¯s undefeated myth has been broken by the Chinese team.

    Now, the gold medal is also lost!

    ¡­¡­

    It took a lot of effort for the Olympic Committee to control the situation and drive other members of the Chinese Olympic team away from the stadium.

    The men¡¯s basketball players adjusted their emotions and came to the podium under the leadership of the staff. The American team and the Lithuanian team were already ready, but the Chinese Olympic team was still struggling.

    At 10:58 in the morning on September 26, 2000, the Chinese national anthem sounded at the Sydney Olympic Stadium. The Chinese men's basketball team headed by Zhang Hao won their Olympic gold medal!

    At this moment, the commentator Zhang Weiping shouted loudly in his heart: "The golden age of Chinese basketball is here!"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 485 485. I really hope the new season starts soon!  (5500 words, please vote for me)

    The Chinese men¡¯s basketball team won the Sydney Olympics gold medal with a mighty victory in 8 games, ending the dominance of the dream team in the three World Series from 1992 to 1996.

    The Chinese national anthem is like a war song at the Sydney Olympic Stadium, sounding the clarion call for world basketball to counterattack American basketball!

    Athletes from other countries also understand that it may not be possible for a long time to truly surpass American basketball as a whole.

    Like this US men¡¯s basketball team, to be honest, every position is not the best candidate for the US team.

    It is true that Kidd is the best point guard in the NBA at the moment, but if it comes to defending in the international arena, there are many point guards in the NBA who are more suitable for the international arena than Kidd.

    Garnett can be said to be the best solution among the 12 players in this US men's basketball team. Carter, Alan Houston, Steve Smith, Ray Allen and others are also good, but basically it can be said that except for Garnett  , every other player can find a better option.

    To surpass American Basketball in terms of overall strength may require a century-old plan.

    But you can¡¯t give up just because the gap is big. Who doesn¡¯t want to leave a mark in the history of their country?

    If your country can win gold medals in the Olympics and World Championships, it will definitely be a huge driving force for the development of basketball in your country.

    At the very least, the Chinese men's basketball team proved one thing in this Olympics - the Dream Team is no longer an invincible team!

    ¡­¡­

    After the men¡¯s basketball project ended, Zhang Hao began to participate in business activities and watch other sports games in Sydney.

    ¡°My own project has ended and I won the championship. Now the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team is looking at other teams¡¯ projects and finally has the courage to point out the country

    On October 1st, the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games ended, and on October 3rd, the Chinese Olympic team set off back to China.

    On October 5, after Zhang Hao conducted a series of activities with the Chinese Men¡¯s Basketball Team, he came to the Great Hall of the People and was received by top leaders along with athletes from other sports.

    ? 29 gold medals, 16 silver medals, 15 bronze medals, a total of 60 medals. Whether it is the number of gold medals or the total number of medals, the Chinese Olympic team has created the best record in history.

    Zhang Hao set a new personal scoring record in the Olympic men's basketball event with 57 points, and led the team to win the gold medal with 8 wins and 0 losses. After returning home, he made a sensation. The leader met with him. The top leader was very interested and wanted to chat with Zhang Hao alone.

    This is a rare treatment among athletes.

    When Zhang Hao met the top leader, he hoped that the top leader would agree to allow more outstanding domestic players to study in Europe.

    ? In contrast, unless the talent reaches the level of Hu Weidong, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming, the European basketball system is more suitable for domestic basketball players.

    Of course, the most suitable domestic basketball system must be created based on the actual situation and national conditions.

    ¡° Unlike the original time and space when the men¡¯s basketball team had almost no hope of winning a medal, now the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team has won the championship. This is a very different thing.

    Domestic leaders attach completely different importance to a championship-winning event. This kind of competition that can demonstrate the competitive ability of Chinese athletes in multi-person teamwork is basically non-existent except for women's volleyball, women's football, and women's basketball. And the three major women's sports  The influence is far different from the three major men's sports.

    There is no hope, and the country will not say that it does not pay attention to it, but it will not put so much thought into it. The country is very busy. For the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the entire country is very busy.

    But if you can win the championship, the views of the country¡¯s top leaders are definitely very different.

    ??Also, Zhang Hao¡¯s attitude at the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics and his positive attitude to promote the development of domestic basketball after winning the gold medal all played a role.

    Facing the top leader, during the short half-hour chat, Zhang Hao remained as calm as ever, giving people a very trustworthy feeling

    "There is nothing that the Chinese people can't do as long as their thinking is not slippery, they are willing to invest, and they are willing to put in the effort."

    ¡­¡­

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Finally, the song ends and everyone disperses.

    On October 6, Zhang Hao attended the celebration banquet of the Chinese men's basketball team and drank some wine. He was very happy, but also a little sad. In two years' time, in the next World Series, some people may leave, and there will be new ones.  people join.

    It¡¯s always a different feeling to be teammates who win medals or even gold medals together, and it¡¯s the first time.

    On October 7, Zhang Hao, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, and Hu Weidong set off for the United States, arrived in Los Angeles together, and then went their separate ways

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "The Shame of the Dream Team"

    While waiting for his flight in Los Angeles, Zhang Hao picked up some magazines and newspapers and saw the title from Sports Illustrated.

    &nbs?, Should we put the FMVP trophy, MVP trophy, and Olympic gold medal in the living room?  This way others can see it as soon as they come.  "

    Le Lin¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°What a good idea! This way, you don¡¯t have to bring guests in to see, so you can know that our family has many, many trophies! Butbrother, does this seem too showy?¡±

    "It's okay. If someone said that, I said you asked to put it in the living room."

    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re going a little too far!¡± The little Loli¡¯s eyes widened.

    But, the little loli also wants to show off!

    There is no other way, the little Loli can only grit her teeth and bear the burden that a primary school student should not bear

    Zhang Hao watched the little Loli walking towards the living room holding an MVP trophy, two FMVP trophies, and an Olympic gold medal. He suddenly felt a little shabby because the satisfaction generated by winning the Olympic gold medal turned into a stronger feeling at this moment.  eager!

    ¡®I didn¡¯t expect to be able to cooperate with Jordan, but now that such an opportunity has come, I can¡¯t miss it What should I do? I really hope that the new season will start soon!  ¡¯

    On October 9, the training day before the SuperSonics preseason game, Zhang Hao arrived at Key Gym at 7:55 in the morning, changed into training clothes and came to the training ground, and decisively used this card.

    'The upper limit of the three-point talent is really top-notch Although it is not bad, with the bonus of the medal, it can also produce top-edge performance under certain circumstances, but with this, there is a super-top breakthrough  card, you have the opportunity to become a top three-point shooter!  ¡¯

    The road to growth is long. It took four years to develop three-pointers to the level of 89. It started in 1995 and was not achieved until 1999.

    Zhang Hao has the experience of practicing from a top-level mid-range shot of 90 to a mid-range shot of 96. Combined with the experience of practicing three-pointers from a good level to 89, he knows that when you reach the top level, every time you improve, it takes time and effort.  More difficult than before!

    But this kind of happiness that can keep improving no matter how much time and effort you put in, when you complete the breakthrough, that kind of happiness is similar to the feeling when you finally reach the golden five after climbing in the silver pit for a long time, but  Be more intense and more pleasurable.

    Without wasting time, Zhang Hao immediately threw himself into training.

    After a set of 100 three-pointers training was completed, the system prompt came.

    ¡®¡­¡¯

    Zhang Hao looked at the system prompts in front of him and didn't know what kind of mood he should have.

    ¡®Just now I was thinking about how difficult it would be, but fortunately no one knew. This is such a slap in the face!  ¡¯

    "Congratulations to the host, the three-point rating of special contract player Zhang Hao has improved from 89 to 90. Zhang Hao's three-point shooting has reached the top level."

    'It has been more than a year since I reached the three-point rating of 89. During this year, I have not slacked off in my three-point shooting training. I have three sets of shooting training every day on my rest days Does it mean that I don't know when?  You have already reached the limit of your talent. Now that your talent has broken through, it is logical that you will reach the top level?

    In other words, at least some of my training was wasted?

    No, it can¡¯t be said to be a waste. Even if I am at 89 level, more training will not make me more accurate, but it will make my shooting feel better'

    It was a bit painful at first, but after he figured it out, Zhang Hao accepted it.

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 23 years old, January 7, 1977.

    Height 211 cm, wingspan 223 cm

    Weight: 109 kg.

    Position: Forward.

    Team: Seattle SuperSonics.

    Ability evaluation: 94.

    Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 93, jumping 94, flexibility 96, stamina 97

    Shooting: 90 three-pointers, 96 mid-range shots, 97 layups

    Skills: 85 ball control, 87 passing, 96 catch and shoot, 94 catch-and-turn jump shot, 91 high post skills, 79 low post skills, 93 cutting, 81 jump step, 88 turn, 90 change of direction, emergency stop jump shot  88, triple threat stance 67"

    Zhang Hao looked at the basic information interface on the system screen.

    ¡®My shooting measurements have finally reached at least 90!

    Basic skills training is the foundation that supports the transformation of all skills into goals. It is absolutely right to break through the talent in this area to a higher level.

    My goal last season was to continuously strengthen my existing playing styles. Some of them were greatly improved, and some of them may have issues with suitability or talent limits. There is no limit to the room for improvement.

    Then, next, we should start to broaden our playing methods!

    There are currently three clear directions for improvement: post-up play, triple-threat stance, pick-and-roll

    Now let¡¯s consolidate the three-point foundation first!  ¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    "Homecoming (gold) triggers, Sam Cassel is affected by the player Zhang Hao wearing it, and his enthusiasm and determination to work hard become stronger"

    "Returning to the Heart (Gold) triggered, Reuben Patterson was affected by the player Zhang Hao wearing it, and temporarily gave up the idea of ??being lazy"

    ¡°Homecoming (gold) trigger, Corey Benjamin was influenced by the player Zhang Hao wearing it, and felt that he should find a position that is more suitable for him"

    ¡°Homecoming (gold) triggers, Ben Wallace is influenced by the player Zhang Hao wearing it, and his enthusiasm and determination to work hard become stronger"

    ""

    &nbs?Time.  "

    "That makes sense" Doug Collins suddenly thought of something and asked, "Akers, how did you make Corey active again?"

    "What's wrong?"

    "Before you came back, he was scolded by Jordan until he was dejected. I haven't heard him make a loud noise for a while, but he became active again today."

    "Uhyou were really scolded by Jordan to the point of doubting your life? It doesn't matter, I told him to keep him as a trainer after his rookie contract ends."

    "That's it?"

    "That's it."

    The coaching staff looked down at him. Corey Benjamin¡¯s family of seven or eight people worked for various NBA teams, and his uncle was Colangelo, the chairman of the American Basketball Association. Let alone being a trainer, he went to work for some teams.  There is no problem at all as a consultant or assistant to the management. Some teams may even give him less important security or logistics department head positions.

    The Sonics, at least at this stage, really need Corey Benjamin.

    Regardless of this, Doug Collins said: "I really think it is a waste to put Detrev on the inactive list, but now that there is a younger and stronger Tony, he or Tony will not have too many problems.  It is even more inappropriate to divide more playing time between two people. For our team, now that we have Jordan, Detrev is actually more effective than James when he plays

    The most important thing is that I¡¯m worried that Detrev¡¯s condition will begin to decline over time, which is what happened to Sam last season.  "

    Zhang Hao sounded a little puzzled Is this something he, a player, needs to take care of?

    But I don¡¯t know since when, the team management and coaching staff have become accustomed to looking for him when they encounter trouble. Moreover, they all know that what the boss is most willing to listen to is Zhang Hao¡¯s opinion.

    "However, this problem is neither big nor small. For a team, no matter how small the problem is, if it can think of a solution, it is naturally the best.

    After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao thought of a person, and there he was!

    "Actually, it's not impossible"

 Chapter 487 487. The feeling of taking off (6800 words, please vote for me!)

    On October 26, 2000, the SuperSonics played their final preseason game against the Jazz at home.

    When the Sonics' opponents in the past six games saw them, they would stare at their two players-Jordan wearing the No. 23 SuperSonics jersey and Zhang Hao wearing the No. 24 jersey.

    It¡¯s the same tonight. Shuangsha stares at Zhang Hao, feeling that this world is too unfair!

    ¡®How lucky is this boy?  He went to the Lakers and signed O'Neal naked, and went to the SuperSonics and Jordan joined with a minimum salary'

    Unlike in the original time and space, the hatred between Malone and Stockton was all on Zhang Hao.

    Because in the two years when the Jazz were at their peak, even though they were not always defeated by the Lakers in the playoffs, the Lakers won the championship in those two years, and it was Zhang Hao who won the FMVP.

    Hornacek went to greet his old teammates before the game, Malone turned around and left, but Stockton was quite enthusiastic.

    Looking at Hornacek who went back to stand with Jordan and Zhang Hao after saying hello, Malone was very shameless - "If you want to hug his thigh, you can't hug your enemy. He just defeated O'Neal two years ago, so you can't hug O'Neal's thigh."  ?  ¡¯

    Although it is only a preseason game, the last game of the preseason is still very important. This is to test whether the adjustments in the previous preseason games are effective This is for the Sonics.

    For the Jazz, there is almost no need to consider this. Their style of play has almost remained unchanged. Hornacek left the team, and they introduced John Starks from the Warriors, Rex Chapman from the Mavericks, and Rex Chapman from the Hornets.  Donyell Marshall, all players introduced according to their tactical needs, has maintained stability as always.

    After 7 preseason games, the Jazz are the only opponent where Zhang Hao can see player detection reports before the preseason.

    "Karl Malone, 37 years old, 206 cm, 120 kg, ability evaluation 94"

    "John Stockton, 38 years old, 185 cm, 78 kg, ability evaluation 88"

    These two people are too much

    From the TV news, Zhang Hao saw that the 35-year-old David Robinson has declined quite seriously. He was still an All-NBA player last season. The state shown in this preseason is not to mention senile, but he must maintain an average of 20 per game.  It's almost impossible to divide.

    As for Malone, he needs to keep averaging 20+ per game as if it were a joke.

    But Zhang Hao feels that Stockton is the most attractive. From the 1997-98 season to the present, there has been almost no change. In the past three seasons, Stockton has performed 12+2+8+1.6 in the regular season and 12+2+8+1.6 in the playoffs.  It's a double-double performance per game.

    However, the overall downward trend of the Jazz is obvious. Last season's steady 55+ wins, if compared with the overall player detection report of the Jazz seen by Zhang Hao last season and the overall player detection report seen now,  It is basically certain that the Jazz are capable of winning between 50-55 games.

    The SuperSonics are fully prepared for today's game. The Jazz are a good opponent. Their playing style has remained unchanged for many years and their strength is stable. They are a good opponent for them to test their progress. They attach great importance to this game.

    The Jazz also attaches great importance to this game, not for anything else but because their opponent has Zhang Hao.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Cassell, Jordan, Artest, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace.

    The Jazz sent a starting combination of Stockton, Rex Chapman, Brian Russell, Malone, and Alden Polynis.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

    Ben Wallace easily wins the jump ball from Alden Polynice, and the Sonics attack first!

    Zhang Hao attracted a double attack, Cassel made a long pass, and Artest entered the basket like a bull and scored two points for a layup.

    Stockton looked at Artest's tendons and decisively stepped aside without going up to cut the ball.

    When the Jazz attack, Stockton encounters Artest's defense and is basically unable to play in singles. He looks for Malone to pick and roll.

    Ben Wallace and Jordan switched defenses when Malone went out to pick and roll. When Stockton and Malone completed the pick and roll, Artest, Jordan, and Ben Wallace had already completed the defensive rotation of the three.

    Artest defended Malone, Jordan switched to guard Stockton, and Ben Wallace was in the right position to cut off the passing line between Stockton and Brian Russell.

    Artest's physique is much stronger than last season. The effect of Jordan's destruction on him in the summer can be seen from the physical aspect. But even if Malone lost about 3 kilograms this season, Artest still can't bear it.  .

    However, Malone cut in to receive the ball, and Ben Wallace's double attack was very timely, blocking Malone on the left side of the three-second zone and cutting off the space for passing to the sideline.

    Malone points to Brian Russell, Brian Russell?I'm not in my late thirties, I'm not 24 yet, so I don't need it.  "

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What do you think you should do when you are in your twenties?  Then you still call me a big man?  Zhang Hao decisively refused.

    Even if you don¡¯t consider the lifespan reward for each game, the fans who spent money to buy tickets and watch live broadcasts for him will feel guilty if they don¡¯t see him play.

    After Zhang Hao left the head coach's office, Scott Collins shrugged: "I told you, Akers will not agree to take a rest, right, Del."

    Silver Fox responded: "It's a waste of my time to advise him to rest more."

    ¡­¡­

    Leaving the head coach¡¯s office, Zhang Hao finally had time to read the latest player detection report.

    ¡°The preseason of the 2000-2001 season is over, and the Seattle SuperSonics team of special contract player Zhang Hao has completed player detection.

    The latest player detection report for the Seattle SuperSonics has been updated.  "

    "Michael Jordan, 37 years old, 198 centimeters, 98 kilograms, ability evaluation 94, offense 97, defense 88, 63 three-pointers, 99 mid-range shots, 92 layups"

    "Sam Cassell, 31 years old, 191 cm, 87 kg, ability evaluation 89, offense 92, defense 76, passing 91, three-pointer 68, mid-range shot 94, layup 92"

    "Ron Artest, 21 years old, 201 cm, 111 kg, ability evaluation 81, offense 78, defense 86"

    "Ben Wallace, 26 years old, 206 cm (?), 110 kg, ability evaluation 80, offense 55, defense 97"

    "Toni Kukoc, 32 years old, 211 cm, 105 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 81, defense 77, passing 89"

    "Jeff Hornacek, 37 years old, 191 cm, 86 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 83, defense 76"

    "Mookie Blakelow, 33 years old, 183 cm, 84 kg, ability evaluation 76, offense 72, defense 84"

    "Detrev Schrempf, 37 years old, 206 cm, 95 kg, ability evaluation 77, offense 82, defense 70, passing 86"

    "James Posey, 23 years old, 203 cm, 95 kg, ability evaluation 76, offense 73, defense 83"

    "Jason Williams, 32 years old, 206 cm, 109 kg, ability evaluation 72, offense 60, defense 75, rebounds 95"

    "Dell Curry, 36 years old, 193 cm, 93 kg, ability evaluation 73, offense 80, defense 68"

    "Ruben Patterson, 25 years old, 196 cm, 102 kg, ability evaluation 75, offense 70, defense 84"

    "Sam Perkins, 39 years old, 206 cm, 107 kg, ability evaluation 65, 67 offense, 74 defense, 84 three-pointers, 72 mid-range shots, 83 layups"

    "Cory Benjamin, 23 years old, 198 cm, 91 kg, ability evaluation 59, offense 52, defense 67"

    Looking at this player detection report, Zhang Hao¡¯s whole body was on fire!

    'If there was no Jordan, it wouldn't feel so exaggerated. Apart from Jordan, there are only three first-class players: Alien, World Peace, and Big Ben There is no one with the talent of World Peace. If you don't fight that one or fight  If I hadn¡¯t fought against the fans and not been suspended for a year, I would have just turned 25 and averaged 26+6+3 per game at the beginning. It would be a pity to be trained as a super giant by the Pacers

    Who else is there for our defense?

    ??The weakest team has a first-class influence, but when a good defensive formation is built for it, it becomes a defensive top star.

    If I am purely responsible for single defense or focus on single defense, have a suitable team, and go all out, then my current defensive evaluation should also be 95 But this is a theoretical evaluation. Big Ben did not completely focus on him last season.  He did not show top-level defense when he was in the playoffs last season. When the playoffs were approaching last season, his defensive rating improved to 93. It is certainly impossible to purely improve from 89 to 93 in one season

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out to try to win the championship in three years, but now that Boss Qiao is here we are about to take off!  ¡¯

 Chapter 488 488. Terrifying strength!  (12,000 words, please vote monthly)

    The preseason is over, and the major media¡¯s ranking predictions, star classification and other lists have come out.

    In terms of the rookie list, this year¡¯s rookies were defeated in the summer league and preseason

    At least judging from the performance in the summer league and preseason, there may not be a single player with All-Star talent in the 2000 class.

    Currently the best player in the 2000 class is Cavaliers rookie Mike Miller. He averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game in the preseason and his three-point shooting percentage was 39.6%. However, he averaged 31 minutes per game in the preseason.  Only averaging 12 points per game.

    There are only a handful of other rookies who average double figures in a single game, not to mention scoring in double figures in the preseason.

    According to data analysis by American cable TV, since the NBA draft was formally established in 1954, there has not been such a bad year for the draft in more than 40 years. It is even worse than the worst situation predicted by the major media after the draft.  .

    When Zhang Hao saw the news, it was the first time in the years since he entered the NBA that the major media could not find anything to praise for a rookie!

    Classification of star players, t1 level, O'Neal, Kobe, Duncan, Iverson, Malone, Jordan, Kidd, Anfernee Hardaway, Garnett, Mutombo and Zhang Hao.

    Entering the new century, we have entered an era of bright stars.

    Zhang Hao looked at the names of the stars in T1 and even in T2, and he could directly think of the unique points of each star's name.

    When he was watching football as a fan in his previous life, he also preferred to watch the games of this era. Each star has distinct characteristics and each combination has a different feeling.

    In terms of team rankings, Sports Illustrated set a precedent last season, and this year all major media are predicting team rankings.

    First in the Eastern Conference, there are only two options for the media, the Pacers and the 76ers.

    First in the Western Conference, the media also have two options, the Lakers and SuperSonics.

    ¡®Why are you so optimistic about us?  Don't be like this, you're not used to it'

    Sports Illustrated and T.N.T ranked the Lakers first in the Western Conference, and Barkley strongly criticized his club.

    Fox Sports, Chicago Times, Washington Times, American Cable TV, and ESPN Sports all ranked the Sonics first in the Western Conference.

    However, Zhang Hao basically eliminated the Pacers from the competition for first place in the Eastern Conference.

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t notice it before, but now he discovered something.

    After leading the Pacers to win the championship, Larry Bird chose to quit his job as head coach and return to his duties as general manager.

    This is not surprising. Larry Bird said when he first became the head coach that he could not find a more suitable person, so he came on his own and then won the best coach in his rookie coaching season.

    When Larry Bird found a head coach that he thought was suitable, it made sense for him not to be the head coach.

    But the head coach Larry Bird found was actually Isaiah Thomas!

    According to media reports, Jackson is very interested in the Pacers coaching position, especially after the Pacers traded Dale Davis to acquire Jermaine O'Neal.

    But Larry Bird still chose Isaiah Thomas

    ¡®The Big Bird still often makes mistakes. He has given up on Mark Jackson before, and he also has a unique vision in selecting coaches¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    ¡®This is not how basketball should be played¡¯

    Nash looked at the huge poster on the door of Key Stadium, just two people, Zhang Hao and Jordan.

    The photo has been updated, it is the real photo of Zhang Hao and Jordan standing together.

    On the morning of October 30, the Trail Blazers came to Seattle.

    As the second-place finisher in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, Nash is not regarded as the number one contender in the Western Conference. Nash can no longer care about this matter.

    It¡¯s outrageous that these two people come together!

    Last season, Jordan led the team alone. If he hadn't been reimbursed with two months to go, his second-team performance would have been amazing!

    ¡°And Jordan played the first 60 games of last season, and the injury he suffered was a rib fracture that would hardly affect his condition

    Really, just such a poster seems to be full of malice.

    At this time, Nash saw Rasheed Wallace walking next to him while eating, and said angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!"

    "" Rasheed Wallace looked at the finger cake in his hand and responded: "Chinese Food, I bought one for you."

    "What's so delicious about this thing? Don't you think about how to play in the game against the Sonics tomorrow?" Nash said and took Rasheed Wallace over.?has become another hot topic.

    The players of the 1999 class took advantage of it. The media really couldn't find anything worthy of praise for this year's rookies, so they started to brag about the 1999 class again.

    Last season, when talking about the 1999 class, basically everyone would only talk about Kobe, that is, Kobe. No matter how we discuss it, it is still Kobe. It is the same as talking about Zhang Hao in the 1995-96 season and Duncan in the 97-98 season.

    By the second grade, other players from the class of 1999 also began to emerge.

    Odom, Brand, and Francis became even more outstanding in their second year. They performed extremely well in the summer league and preseason, and continued their performance into the regular season.

    There are rumors that the Grizzlies are preparing to give up Raheem and Damon Stoudemire and build a team around Brand, who averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds per game in his rookie season. Raheem has also personally requested a trade.

    Everyone can see Odom's talent, but the news about him is more about how he loves to go to nightclubs, play, and play ball. The Raptors still plan to renew his contract in advance  ¡­

    Francis was quite happy playing in Los Angeles, and his record was not great, but in his rookie season he averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game. In the opening game of his second year, he scored 30 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, becoming the first player in the new season to score  Triple-double player.

    The title of Francis is still shining as an epoch-making point guard.

    In addition to Kobe, Odom, Brand, and Francis, these four players who were extremely outstanding in their rookie seasons, others from the 1999 class also began to enter the room.

    Jason Terry of the Hawks, Andre Miller and Shawn Marion of the Cavaliers, Baron Davis of the Hornets, Corey Maggette of the Clippers, Wizards' manager  Chad Hamilton and others entered the starting lineup in the second grade. They firmly seized the starting opportunity in the preseason and the opening game, and it seems that they will not let it go.

    SuperSonics' Artest's defense after entering his second year also left a deep impression due to the high ratings of the opening game between the Sonics and Trail Blazers.

    The players in the 1999 class have distinct personalities and unique playing styles. The success rate is still so high, and there are more than a dozen players with All-Star talent.

    The media once again praised the players of the 1999 class by making stir-fried pork. Fans looked at the geniuses of the 1999 class and chose to forget about the 2000 rookies in order to heal the hearts that were hit hard by the 2000 rookies Which team supported by fans did not choose this year?  A parallel import?

    ¡­¡­

    As for the Sonics, they rested for two days after the season opener to review and train. On November 3rd, Cassell made 13 of 16 and 9 of 10 free throws thanks to the hot touch tonight.  With a performance of 35 points and 10 assists, he defeated the Nuggets 112-94 and started his second consecutive victory!

    Zhang Hao played 17 minutes and Jordan played 13 minutes. The former had 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. The latter had 7 points and 2 rebounds. The half was over. There should have been more play in the third quarter, but Cassel and Ben-  The two of them, Wallace, opened the point difference to 22 points in the middle of the third quarter. There was no need to fight!

    After the game, Jordan burst into tears in the bathroom - 'Back!  This feeling of being able to win at will is back!  ¡¯

 Chapter 489 489. Let a hundred flowers bloom (12,000 words, please vote for me)

    When was the last time Jordan failed to score in double figures?

    The only time in his career was when he was in the second grade.

    On October 29, 1985, Jordan broke his leg during a game against the Warriors. Since it was not a structural fracture, the fracture was very clean. He came back on March 15, 1986, which lasted almost 100 days.  He later played 11 games as a substitute, including 8 points on 4-for-13 shooting on March 22. This was the only time in his career that he failed to score in double figures before this game against the Nuggets.

    After Cassell scored 9 points in a row in the first half of the third quarter to send the game into garbage time and lost the opportunity to continue playing, the scene of Jordan's face turning into a chrysanthemum smile on the sidelines became a hot topic among people.

    Last season, when Jordan was with the Hawks, he was always angrily scolding his teammates, which was in sharp contrast to the happy scene where he only scored 7 points in this game.

    Time passes day by day, and the start of the new season is in full swing.

    This year started with a hundred flowers blooming. Veteran superstars, Mesozoic league backbone superstars, and new generation geniuses all performed very well in the opening stage.

    Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Magic, Big Bird, Jordan, Olajuwon, Zhang Hao and others spent more than 20 years leading the NBA into a prosperous stage of development.

    Every team aiming for the championship began to exert force in the opening stage. In terms of scoring, Iverson and Kobe were the most violent.

    By November 18th, the 76ers and Bulls had played 10 games. Iverson averaged 32.1 points per game, and the 76ers started with 9 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the Eastern Conference; Kobe averaged 31.8 points per game, and the Bulls 7  Ranked third in the Eastern Conference with 3 wins and 3 losses.

    The 76ers have Duncan to support them. Duncan averaged 21.7 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 blocks in the first 10 games of the new season. His partnership with Iverson is becoming more and more perfect.

    The Bulls have Tracy McGrady as their backer. McGrady averaged 20.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in the first 10 games of the new season. The rate of improvement can be described as rapid progress.

    Duncan's backing strength is stronger. The efficiency he has shown, experts say, even if the 76ers don't have Iverson, he can lead the team to 50 wins; McGrady's evaluation is not bad, guaranteed to be at the playoff level.  Performance, without Kobe, McGrady's assists will be reduced, but his scoring will be greatly improved.

    Iverson and Kobe are starting a battle for the scoring title in the new season. This is not surprising. Last season, one ranked third in the scoring list, averaging 29.8 points per game, and the other ranked fourth in the scoring list, averaging 28.2 points per game.  point.

    Before the start of the season, major media predicted the new season's data king. Among them, there were three candidates for the scoring king, O'Neal, Iverson, and Kobe. Currently, O'Neal is ranked fourth with an average of 30.1 points per game. The third place is very impressive.  Unexpectedly, the Pistons' Jerry Stackhouse averaged 30.2 points per game in the first 11 games, surpassing O'Neal to rank third in the scoring list.

    The fifth scorer is Carter, who averaged 28.1 points in the first 10 games.

    Compared with the other players in the top five, Jerry Stackhouse is the worst, with a shooting percentage of 39.2%. The Pistons have a record of only 2 wins and 9 losses, second to last in the Eastern Conference.

    After playing 10 games, among the top four in the Eastern Conference, the surprising thing is that the Bucks started with 8 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference!

    Ray Allen performed at an All-Star level in the new season, averaging 23.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Lewis joined the Bucks and averaged 16.4 points per game in the new season.

    In addition, Jason Caffey was acquired from the SuperSonics and averaged 8.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Tim Thomas, who once served as a substitute for Duncan, also averaged 12.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in the new season.

    There is also sixth man Lynch Hunter who averages 11.4 points, 4.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Under the leadership of Kenny Anderson, these people performed super well!

    I have to say that this lineup is perfect for Kenny Anderson. Ray Allen, who can run, shoot and assist, Lewis, who has become a top pitcher, Jason Caffey, who has excellent rushing ability, and the ability to play at the bottom line.  Tim Thomas, who can catch and pass, shoot, and cut

    Since Kenny Anderson has two championships in hand, he will be trusted everywhere, so he can also use his strength and experience. After the Bucks traded him back, they have always trusted him very much.

    So far in the new season, Kenny Anderson has averaged 14.7 points and 8.6 assists per game, and his performance is also very good.

    Kenny Anderson, Ray Allen, and Lewis received the title of Three Musketeers after the start of the new season.

    These three have averaged 5.7 three-pointers per game since the start of the game. The three of them alone rank 10th in the league in three-pointers per game compared to other teams in the league. The three of them have made more than  19 teams!

    The Bucks' performance has attracted unprecedented attention.

    Kenny Anderson, veteran, Ray Allen, one of the representative players of the Mesozoic era, Lewis, the new generation shooting genius, although they are not;Unfortunately, the Sonics failed to end the first game month with a loss.

    ? 93 to 100, the SuperSonics lost to the Spurs in an away game, suffering their second loss of the season, and their record dropped to 13 wins and 2 losses.

    Popovich was helpless watching his veterans play desperately.

    He admitted it!  If you don't show it badly, you won't show it badly. Let's fight and wait until David Robinson is completely old before he shows it!

    What hurts him is that even if they beat the Sonics tonight, they would still only have 8 wins and 8 losses, surpassing the Clippers and ranking ninth in the Western Conference.

    With the current situation in the Western Conference, in the later stages, a 50% winning rate will basically not make it into the playoffs, but they can achieve a top-notch 50% winning rate

    Popovich could only comfort himself - ¡®I didn¡¯t get the first pick last time if I didn¡¯t play well. Maybe I got it if I didn¡¯t play well?  I don¡¯t know if the center from Georgetown University will participate in the draft. Without him, I won¡¯t know who to pick with the first pick in next year¡¯s draft'

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After the first month of play, the Sonics had a record of 13 wins and 2 losses.

    After the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves on the night of the 29th, they suffered their third loss of the season. The Lakers also finished all games in the first game month with 13 wins and 3 losses.

    The SuperSonics continue to beat the Lakers and rank first in the Western Conference.

    In the Eastern Conference, the Timberwolves played 16 games in the first game month, with 12 wins and 4 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

    In the first two or three weeks of each season, each team will rush forward very hard. By the end of the first game month, they will encounter some difficulties. This is normal.

    After playing about 10 games, how each team will play in the new season and what problems have not yet been resolved have been exposed.

    This stage is a period of time when the record gap between top teams and ordinary teams is narrowing.

    At the same time, it is also the beginning of the further decline of the bad team.

    On the morning of the 30th, the SuperSonics returned to Seattle and continued their regular post-game meeting in the afternoon. This time the task was even heavier, with two games back-to-back to discuss.

    Losing to the Spurs and suffering their second defeat will be a regret for the Sonics players, but everyone is so excited about the results in the first month. Even Zhang Hao and Jordan did not expect to be able to do so before the start of the season.  so good!

    This is to go for 65+ wins!

    Basically, a team that can win 65+ games can only lose two games at most in the first game month The Lakers when Baylor retired does not count. After Baylor retired, the Lakers won 33 games in a row. What?  The five consecutive losses at the beginning were all recovered.

    Of course, there are also cases where the game starts off very well and then collapses later on.

    Fortunately, the Sonics players are very motivated now. In the first year of forming a championship team, they are always particularly motivated.

    The Sonics are currently ranked first in the league, but there is a problem. No one on their team performs better than O'Neal or Webber. They have the first record, but they are faced with the possibility of not winning the monthly award.  The situation of the best player award made both trophy collectors Zhang Hao and Jordan a little depressed

 Chapter 490 490. The new successor (12,000 words, please vote for me)

    The post-game review discussion is over, and the Sonics players are gathering together to chat, waiting for the coach to end the meeting.

    This is usually the case, but after the review discussion, Doug Collins once again came to the keynote position and attracted the attention of the team members.

    "We have completed the first month of the new season and the run-in has been very smooth. This is very happy. I am proud of you. But this is only the first month. We cannot become arrogant because of this, and we are still facing  A tough question we have as many as nine players over the age of 30!"

    When Doug Collins talked about the key point, he deliberately lengthened the end of his voice. After the players focused their attention, he said the key thing he wanted to say.

    Cassell, Jason Williams, Toni Kukoc, Mookie Blakelow, Dell Curry, Hornacek, Jordan, Schrempf, Sam Perkins and other 9 people  I wasn't feeling very calm at this moment.

    Even Cassel is 31 years old. Although his current condition seems to have just reached the peak of his career, he doesn't know how long his condition can last.

    The situation of Jordan and Malone is so special. After 30 years old, more than 99% of players, no matter how strong they were before, will suddenly collapse for unknown reasons.

    Especially recently, Mourning has been out indefinitely due to kidney failure, and Grant Hill's return has been delayed.

    Doug Collins paused for a few seconds and then continued: "Compared with our running-in, I have always been more worried about health issues and the impact of physical strength on the state. As an athlete, after playing for so many years, there must be various injuries on the body.  The disease continues to affect"

    When Doug Collins said this, the players all felt the same way.

    ¡°Moreover, they believe that Doug Collins really understands them, not just words.

    Because Doug Collins was also an NBA player and had a more brilliant career than any player here except Jordan, Zhang Hao, and Schremf.

    How good was Doug Collins as a player?  The No. 1 pick in the 1973 draft, three-time All-Star, averaged 17.9 points per game in his eight-year careerbut was forced to retire due to injury at the age of 30, when he was in his prime.

    "So, before this season has even started, I have been discussing with the coaching staff and management on how to minimize the risk of injuries and ensure the continuity of the state, and finally thought of a feasible method." Doug Collins laid the groundwork for a long time.  , finally stated the purpose.

    Indeed, what Doug Collins said is exactly what the Sonics veterans are worried about.

    With Jordan, plus the original Zhang Hao, Cassell, and Ben Wallace, whose defensive efficiency has soared after becoming the core, the Sonics look to have undergone earth-shaking changes from last season.

    But by trading Travis Best and Jason Caffey back to Kukoc, and signing Jordan and Hornacek, they became one of the oldest teams in the league.

    Growing old before becoming strong is the problem they face.

    Not only veterans, but young players such as Artest and James Posey also want to know what Doug Collins has to say.

    Doug Collins saw the reaction of the team members and was very satisfied. He said: "Originally, I planned to wait until after Christmas before starting to implement it, but our running-in progress was faster than I expected. You are better than I expected."  We need to be even better. Also, Jason's hamstring strain and Mucci's ankle sprain have made me feel the pressure. We must make a decision as soon as possible. After discussing with the management, I decided to implement our physical distribution plan!"

    Physical strength distribution plan?

    Most of the Sonics players are veterans, so they are naturally well-informed, but this is the first time they have heard this basketball term.

    Striking while the iron is hot, Doug Collins continued: "We have decided that in the next games, players with similar characteristics will alternate between playing and off-season.

    We will arrange for 4-5 players to rest in each game. My idea is to limit the active roster to 10 players.

    The purpose of this is to allow veterans to reduce the number of games they play, but when they do play, they can ensure a more stable playing time, which is conducive to maintaining the continuity of the game state and ensuring adequate rest.

    This will also allow young players to have more performance opportunities. The growth of young players is the key to longer continuity of our overall strength.

    This may affect our regular season record to a certain extent, but now our record is so good, our performance is so outstanding, even if it does affect it, it is not important to us, because

    We have Aix.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Right, Ax?  "

    Being named, Zhang Hao nodded in response.The team was too healthy, and Campbell was injured. They started off well with 9 wins and 1 loss, and had a record of 12 wins and 4 losses in the first month. However, in mid-December, Campbell suffered a four-game losing streak after being injured, and it was difficult to adjust.  , has been surpassed by the Bulls, just like the Sonics were surpassed by the Lakers after a wave of 3 wins and 3 losses.

    The 76ers are currently 19 wins and 10 losses. In the 13 games played in December, they only have a record of 7 wins and 6 losses. However, if Campbell is not injured, even if they have 2 wins and 2 losses in those 4 games, the 76ers will have 9 wins.  A record of 4 losses This is inseparable from the outstanding performances of Iverson and Duncan.

    As the Christmas war approaches, major media have also begun to take stock of the early-season performance of major stars and teams.

    O¡¯Neal and Iverson, almost all media have ranked these two people first or second in the predicted probability of mvp.

    The performance of these two people is indeed too strong. O'Neal continued his MVP favorite performance, and Iverson performed for the first time in a game that can truly win the MVP.

    However, as the SuperSonics began the "physical distribution plan" model, Zhang Hao returned to the ranks of MVP contenders by this time in December.

    Zhang Hao's playing time did not increase. He played 26 games, averaging 35.5 minutes per game, but he spent more time on offense. His scoring in these 11 games in December was improved compared to November, and his presence was stronger.  .

    The current situation is very unfavorable for Iverson. Campbell's injury is relatively serious. If Campbell, Duncan's most solid backing, is really reimbursed, it will definitely have a huge impact on the strength of the 76ers

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    On December 23, the morning after the SuperSonics¡¯ 8-day 6-game war, Zhang Hao was resting at home instead of training, and was teasing little Annie with little Lolita.

    April¡¯s mother also came to Zhang Hao¡¯s house. Her parents had arrived in Seattle near the early morning of the night of the 3rd. After being discharged from the hospital, her father went home to work, and her mother stayed temporarily.

    After being hospitalized for a week, April went home on the 10th and was recovering well. Doctors came to her home regularly for check-ups, and she went to the hospital when necessary.

    "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and Christmas the day after tomorrow. Zhang Hao has to go out tomorrow. He can't spend this important American holiday with April. He is at home today. Even if he has nothing to do, April is happy to stay.

    It¡¯s been a while since he paid much attention to the affairs of other teams. Zhang Hao had some free time today, torturing Lolita, teasing his daughter, chatting with his wife and watching the news.

    Seeing the difficulties encountered by the 76ers, Zhang Hao felt a little regretful. If the 76ers' performance in the playoffs was affected by this, he would really like to play against Iverson in the finals.

    But in the evening, Zhang Hao saw the news about the 76ers, and his regret instantly turned into-'Whoops!  This works too!  ¡¯

 Chapter 491 491. Stone Buddha¡¯s Overlord Step!  (13,000 words, please vote monthly)

    On the evening of December 23, 2000, the Hawks and the 76ers reached a deal, Mutombo and Campbell exchanged clubs!

    After winning the championship in 1999, Campbell renewed his $30 million contract with the 76ers for another three years, averaging $10 million per year.

    Mutombo is in a contract year this year, with a salary of US$14.4 million.

    In addition to Campbell, the 76ers also sent out three high-quality role players in Kevin Ollie, Nazr Muhammad, and Anthony Johnson, collecting US$8 million to make up for the price difference, and also acquired Anthony-  The $4 million contracts of Miller and Tony Smith, two veterans who entered the NBA in the early 1990s and now have basically no ability to play in the NBA, meet the transaction conditions.

    The 76ers also sent a 2003 first-round pick and two second-round picks in 2003 and 2004 to the Hawks.

    After completing the transaction, the 76ers held a press conference to thank Campbell for his contributions over the past four seasons.

    Not to mention, Campbell has left a mark in the history of the 76ers. He played 285 regular season games in more than 4 seasons, averaging 10.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. His total of 513 blocks ranked ninth in the history of the 76ers.

    The transaction itself, although Mutombo claimed to be 34 years old, the 76ers paid so many chips and it was still regarded as a bloody profit!

    First of all, Campbell is actually 32 years old and has basically been reimbursed for this season. At this age, I don¡¯t know what his status will be next season.

    Although Muhammad and Anthony Johnson are excellent role players, that's Mutombo!  Starting from the 94-95 season, Mutombo defeated Mourning after competing with him for many years!

    Duncan won the best defensive player in his rookie year, plus Mutombo, who was second in votes for the best defensive player last season and fourth in defensive efficiency this season Before Campbell was injured, the 76ers' defensive efficiency was already  First in the league, now, upgraded again!

    Seeing that the 76ers could only point to Matt Geiger supporting the basket behind Duncan, who knew that the 76ers would actually take away the Eagles' star Mutombo like this!

    Matt Geiger is not bad at all. He is a very good backup center. He once managed to hold on as the starting center for a while after the Hornets lost Clifford Robinson. He averaged 11 points, 6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 31 minutes per game.

    If Matt Geiger plays center, then Duncan will definitely need to shrink the basket more. Iverson's defense of rushing and guiding opponents into the defensive circle will inevitably encounter greater loopholes. Iverson ranks first in the point guard position this season.  The defensive efficiency of the third guard and the performance of the second point guard in limiting the opponent's scoring may suddenly collapse.

    Iverson only looks at how strong his actual defensive efficiency is this season?  With a defensive efficiency of 4.5, only Kidd's 5.4 defensive efficiency and Payton's 4.7 defensive efficiency are higher than Iverson at the point guard position.

    Limiting opponents to 98 points per 100 possessions, only Kidd limits opponents to 97 points at the point guard position, which is higher than Iverson.

    Watching Iverson¡¯s defensive performance begin to decline in the past period of time, Mutombo is here

    Magician joked in an interview: "The Eagles are really a great team. They created two galactic battleships with just one team."

    ¡­¡­

    Opponents become more perfect when they suffer from injuries. The SuperSonics, who came to Los Angeles, and the Lakers, who are about to play a Christmas game at home, are both a little angry.

    According to subsequent expert analysis, the Hawks are preparing to take the situation to the extreme. They do not intend to renew Mutombo's contract, but they do not want to lose Mutombo in vain. Therefore, there are teams that are willing to provide high-quality role players and are willing to eat.  No matter who the Eagles are, even if the trade partner is already a championship-level team, they will still be willing to help strengthen the other team.

    But the most annoying thing for the Sonics and Lakers is that even if they knew in advance that the Hawks would agree to such a deal, they would not be able to grab people. The two teams are most in need of centers.

    "Campbell is very important to the 76ers. He can even bring restrictions to O'Neal. Mutombo is a different type of defensive center. The 76ers have just upgraded the intensity of the center position. It can only be said that they are now  We have gotten rid of the impact of Campbell's injury, and the overall defense is stronger than when Campbell was healthy, so it is difficult to achieve qualitative changes."

    "Mr. Jordan, what you said makes sense, but you are also too calm."

    "I once played against a team in the Finals. They had the best point guard in history, an All-Star point guard, two top-five power forwards in history, and a top-three center in history.  And a backup power forward who was an All-Star the following season.¡±

    ""

    On the afternoon of the 24th, the SuperSonics came to the Toyota Center, the Lakers training facility, to prepare for the game. After training, the players gathered together to chat. Jordan calmly comforted the players' anxiety caused by the 76ers' introduction of Mutombo. By the way,  ???, additional penalties will also be added.

    56 to 54, the SuperSonics lead by two points!

    There are 1.8 seconds left on the clock. Everyone on the Lakers was paying attention to Cassel just now. There is nothing wrong with it. It¡¯s just that Cassel and Zhang Hao have a great tacit understanding. There are 4 seconds left. It¡¯s really hard to notice Ruben.  -Patterson went to help Zhang Hao block Mark Madsen.

    The Lakers served, and Pierce made a super long three-pointer from the three-point line in the backcourt. At the end of the first half, with Zhang Hao scoring 6 points and 1 assist in the last 2 and a half minutes, the SuperSonics went ahead by two points.  Intermission!

    When the whistle sounded at the end of the second quarter, Zhang Hao¡¯s system prompt came!

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao performed well at critical moments in two consecutive quarters. He has the opportunity to defeat his old club Lakers for the fifth time in a row after changing teams. Mission: Angel City's dream pre-mission is triggered.

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to lead his team to defeat his old club, the Lakers, in the ongoing game and continue his unbeaten record against his old club after changing teams"

 Chapter 492 492. Fishing Master (12,000 words, please vote for me)

    "Lakers fans have had a dreamy three years, and they have also begun the third year of waking up from the dream.

    The fate of the world is like a dream, whether it is a sweet dream or a nightmare, it is the memory that Zhang Hao needs to bring to the fans of his old club.

    Avengers exclusive mission: Dream of Angel City is triggered.

    Starting goal: Zhang Hao needs to lead his team to defeat the Lakers in this Christmas game.

    Reward: The right to use the Shaquille O¡¯Neal Star Experience Card unconditionally and without consumption once.

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to gain an advantage in winning against the Lakers in the regular season and playoffs.

    The dream of Angel City will be officially opened after the opening goal is completed.  "

    After being traded to the Lakers by the Nets in 1995, Zhang Hao defeated the Nets in 5 consecutive games with the Lakers and never lost a game against the Nets.

    But very early on, there were no tasks related to the Nets. That is to say, the Nets were no longer worthy of "revenge". After all, they didn't stay too long and didn't leave much to think about.

    Now the Nets are a thing of the past, and the old team has become the Lakers

    ¡®Unconditional right to use Big Fat Card!  nice one!  I only have the second-grade version of the big fat card, which is pretty good. The current big fat card is even less compatible with me. Even if there is a matching bonus for advanced use, it will not be much higher, and the negative bonus will be even greater  '

    The task came suddenly, Zhang Hao just chose to work hard to complete it. Originally, he didn't want to lose a game against the Lakers!

    ¡­¡­

    The go-ahead score ended the first half, and the atmosphere in the Sonics locker room was quite good.

    ??And there are mostly veterans, especially those who are mainly losers. They know very well that they cannot relax at this time, and deliberately guide the atmosphere in the locker room to continue to focus on the game.

    The Lakers and SuperSonics are treated as the strongest opponents in the playoffs.

    There is no need to consider the teams in the Eastern Conference for the time being. The primary goal is to break through the Wild West. This year, there may be a grand occasion where all teams in the Western Conference start with 50 wins in the first round.

    However, the Sonics players are very confident about tonight¡¯s game!

    Played 18 minutes in the half, making 6 of 11 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 6 of 7 free throws, scoring 19 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks!

    This performance is inseparable from the efforts of his teammates.

    Zhang Hao can play the entire game without rest when facing strong teams like last season. He can perform extremely good physical distribution on the field and maintain excellent output.

    But if you can rest, of course it¡¯s better!

    If he can play easily during regular time and have rest time, then he will definitely be able to perform more efficiently.

    Teammates, created the conditions for Zhang Hao to play like this!

    Tonight¡¯s halftime performance was basically Zhang Hao¡¯s best halftime performance since the start of the new season.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s current playing style has been greatly affected in terms of data.

    ¡°However, adapting to different playing styles, adapting to different team concepts, and accepting different team roles at different stages of your career in order to win, these are all acceptable things.

    This is not a injustice to him, but a change that is beneficial to him.

    The Sonics' veterans can stand up at important moments and gain more trust from the coaching staff. This is inseparable from the 'physical distribution plan'. The veterans can have sufficient playing time in the games they play and can rely on  Take turns and get adequate rest time.

    ¡­¡­

    During the halftime break, the Sonics made very steady adjustments. Details of the process can be adjusted temporarily as long as the goal can be accomplished. After the goal is accomplished, the next strategy will continue to be implemented stably.

    After the halftime break, the SuperSonics coaching staff predicted that the opponent would let O'Neal rest at the beginning of the second half. In the second quarter, O'Neal attacked with all his strength for half of the quarter. Although O'Neal has good physical strength, his weight of 144 kilograms, no matter how good his physical strength is, cannot withstand it.  Just keep fighting like that.

    However, Doug Collins still let Zhang Hao rest at the beginning of the third quarter. Jordan brought Dell Curry, Artest, Kukoc, and Jason Williams to play for 3 minutes and scored 7 points.

    As expected, the Lakers let Payton lead the team at the beginning of the third quarter, Pierce and O'Neal rested, and the combination of Isaiah Leder, Dan Marley, Horace Grant, and Danny Manning came on.  During this period, the Lakers also played very well offensively, scoring 8 points.

    When the SuperSonics called a timeout, the score was 63-62, still maintaining a 1-point lead.

    The role players of both teams are strong, led by the oldest of the three core players, and their performances are excellent. The Lakers rely more on Payton's personal ability. Payton scored 5 points and 1 assist.  -Marley made a shotAfter the early part of the season, the strength of each team has been demonstrated. Next, it depends on the continuity and whether there are any changes.

    The change is definitely a trade. The 76ers and Mavericks have become the teams that the media will focus on in the next period of time.

    Currently, in the Eastern Conference rankings, the Bulls are ranked first with 20 wins and 9 losses, the 76ers are ranked second with 20 wins and 10 losses, the Bucks are ranked third with 18 wins and 10 losses, and the Raptors are ranked third with 16 wins and 13 losses.  Fourth, the Hornets ranked fifth with 15 wins and 14 losses, the Cavaliers ranked sixth with 14 wins and 14 losses, the Heat ranked seventh with 14 wins and 15 losses, and the defending champion Pacers ranked eighth with 13 wins and 16 losses.

    Western Conference rankings, the Lakers ranked first with 24 wins and 6 losses, the SuperSonics ranked second with 23 wins and 6 losses, the Kings ranked third with 21 wins and 8 losses, the Suns ranked fourth with 21 wins and 9 losses, and the Trail Blazers  Ranked fifth with 20 wins and 10 losses, the Mavericks ranked sixth with 18 wins and 10 losses, the Jazz ranked seventh with 18 wins and 11 losses, and the Timberwolves ranked eighth with 16 wins and 13 losses.

    The Spurs, ninth in the Western Conference with 15 wins and 13 losses, can still be ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference

    No one thought that so far in the new season, the Eastern Conference can only rely on the Bulls, 76ers, and Bucks to save its respect?

    But the introduction of Mutombo by the 76ers has indeed made the 76ers the most watched team in the middle of the season.

    ¡­¡­

    After Christmas, the season continues.

    In the game against the Lakers, the Sonics had great success, sweeping away the haze of only 3 wins and 3 losses in 6 games in 8 days.

    However, this is just the transition of the Lakers from a tight schedule to a devilish schedule with brutal opponents.

    The Heat will be played on the 28th, the 31st and the 1st of next month, and the Trail Blazers and Lakers will be played back-to-back on New Year's Eve. If Mourning had not developed kidney disease, the Sonics would have been unable to play this schedule starting from the Christmas game.

    However, even if the Heat lose Mourning, it will still be a tough nut to crack!

    After Mourning was reimbursed, the Heat's record bucked the trend and improved, almost reaching a 50% winning rate!

    After returning to Seattle to rest for two nights, on December 28, the SuperSonics faced the challenge of the Heat at home.

    The SuperSonics take each of the next three games very seriously.

    The mentality is very good - one win is one win.

    Veterans have many benefits. At this age, veterans, except for Jordan and Hornacek, have had terrible losing experiences. Whether they lose or win, they can adjust their mentality very well, and they can also provide advice to their younger teammates.  Provide help with experience.

    The preparations were very complete and the attitude was correct. At 7 o'clock in the evening, the eagerly awaited SuperSonics' home game against the Heat started.

    The Sonics players forgot one thing, Jordan was so good at dealing with Pat Riley's teams

    Jordan played 33 minutes tonight, taking 34 crazy shots and hitting 20 of them, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 51 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals in a single game, leading the Super League.  The Sonics defeated the Heat 106-90, improving their record to 24 wins and 6 losses!

    With 51 points in a single game, Jordan broke the highest score in a single game this season jointly held by Iverson and Kobe!

    The fans at the scene went crazy tonight!  Originally, fans were still regretting that they couldn't see Zhang Hao's "miracle" actual free throw line dunk in the Christmas game. Now, there is no regret!

    Everyone believes that the player with the highest score in a single game this season must belong to the Sonics.

    But I didn¡¯t expect that the person who took away the title of highest score in a single game was not Zhang Hao, but Jordan!

    When Jordan received a pass from Zhang Hao and hit a jump shot at 7 minutes and 22 seconds of the fourth quarter, and his score increased to 51 points, Pat Riley on the opposite side almost knelt down!

    The game ended amidst the wild cheers of the fans at the scene.

    Looking at Jordan going to be interviewed, Pat Riley sighed - 'Fortunately, this man didn't come to our team, otherwise his current state would have been wasted'

    When dealing with Jordan, the fortune teller's mentality is always different from that of other stars.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As to what regrets the fortune-teller has in his coaching career, is really the only thing which is not able to coach Jordan.

    ¡­¡­

    No one thinks that Jordan¡¯s 51 points will be the highest score in a single game this season. Of course, before the 1995-1996 season, 51 points in a single game may be the highest score in a season.

    ? 60+ in a single game is very rare. Over the past few decades, only about 20 players have achieved 60+ in a single game.

    If you don¡¯t count Chamberlain¡¯s 32 times, the average of the others combined is less than 1 time per year.

    As strong as Jordan, he has only scored 60+ points in a single game 6 times in his career. And this time against the Heat, he is in such good shape that it will be difficult to reach 60+ points in a single game again. The probability will definitely become lower and lower in the future.

    But the media just feel that Jordan¡¯s 51 points are definitely not the highest score in a single game this season, because Zhang Hao has scored 60+ points in a single game 6 times in the first 4 seasons of his career!

    In addition, another No. 24 player, Kobe Bryant of the Bulls, also scored 60 points in a single game like Zhang Hao in his rookie year.

    But Jordan¡¯s 51 points in a single game still feels like ¡®too much¡¯.

    Last season, Malone scored 50+ points in a single game at the age of 36 years and 8 months, which has already broken the record of the oldest 50+ points in a single game in NBA history held by the Nuggets legend English. Now, Jordan is 37 years and 10 months old.  The age has once again refreshed this record!

    In the early part of the season, he averaged 30.3 minutes per game, 20.5 points per game, and shot 48% from the field. However, his 23.6% three-point shooting rate held him back.

    With soaring, you can still score 51 points in a single game and only play 33 minutes. If you play a few more minutes, 60 points will be difficult, but it is definitely possible to score 45 points and get 55+ in a single game.

    Jordan used his strength to prove that he is a giant and superstar who went to the SuperSonics to compete with Zhang Hao for the championship, not an old man who clings to his thighs.

    Such Jordan, coupled with Zhang Hao at the height of his power.

    The greatest and most powerful player among the active veterans, plus the honorary king of the Mesozoic era After the game against the Heat, Zhang Hao put his hand on Jordan's shoulders and said something with Jordan's sullen expression. This scene made people watch the live broadcast and watch after the game.  News fans feel this is too much!

    ¡­¡­

    Jordan¡¯s performance made his teammates very excited.

    ¡° Taking advantage of his good condition, encountering opponents who are good at dealing with him, and having a unique style of play Jordan fought so hard against the Heat with a simple purpose, to further increase the concentration of his teammates in the middle of the season!

    In the two seasons of 95-96 and 96-97, it can be seen that Jordan's performance was very stable throughout the season, but in the nearly two months from the second half of December to the beginning of February, the data was significantly better than that in November and February.  In the months of March and March.

    Zhang Hao learned from the coaching staff that the coaching staff is working hard to plan for every game in the middle of the season.

    I also learned that Jordan led the veterans to lead the team in his own way.

    In these aspects, Zhang Hao felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

    This coaching staff was originally formed because the Silver Fox was no longer willing to be the head coach, and Carlisle was snatched away by the Lakers. Coaches like Jackson and Larry Bird wanted to imitate Pat Riley as a management team.  Zhang Hao doesn't like coaches who are addicted to swearing, so he formed the current coaching staff that is so expensive.

    Anyway, money is not an issue for Howard Schultz.

    The veterans who are constantly being introduced bring super leadership skills.

    This makes Zhang Hao very relaxed in these aspects.

    But there is also unprecedented pressure!

    He, Zhang, is a key part of the team's strength, and he occupies one part of the team alone!

    During the game, Cassel¡¯s core play style organized the team¡¯s offense. The veterans led by Jordan took on the responsibility of resisting pressure when necessary, and built one of the best defenses in the league around Ben Wallace

    These links are all completed through teamwork.

    But he, Zhang, always has to shoulder a single step in the Sonics' tactics.

    His teammates helped him relieve most of the pressure, allowing him to have better conditions to stand up and solve problems when the team needed him.

    Seeing the efforts of the coaching staff and teammates, Zhang Hao knew that he could not let down the efforts of the whole team!

    &Martin won the Rookie of the Month, and in the West, Mark Jackson, who averaged 17.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, won the Rookie of the Month.

    Finally, in the third game month, in terms of the Eastern and Western Conference Rookie of the Month, although it is incomparable with the previous Rookie of the Month, the Rookie of the Month can be taken a look at, even if the Western Conference's Rookie of the Month  The rookie is a 26-year-old super-old rookie who already has three years of experience in the European professional arena

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Although the attention of the season has been high and low so far, and it is often ignored by the media, it has played too steadily, and too many games have not been explosive But in the end, I won the award!  Zhang Hao doesn't care about the level of attention.

    This is quite good, as there is less external interference.

    Won the best player of the month, and got 60 days of life, which is great.

    At this time, Zhang Hao discovered the advantage of dividing the Player of the Month into the Eastern and Western regions. If not divided into the Eastern and Western regions, Iverson's violent performance this month and the 76ers' strong return to the first place in the Eastern Conference after trading for Mutombo.  He, Zhang, will definitely not win the Player of the Month award.

    But after dividing the east and west parts, he got it.

    The new month is here, and at the beginning, the Sonics ushered in a back-to-back home game.

    They defeated the Grizzlies 97-88 and the Celtics 103-92. Cassell was not there, so Jordan and Zhang Hao needed to play harder, but Artest and Ben Wallace ended up being the losers in these two games.  The best player was Artest, who scored 20 points in one game and 17 points in one game. His performance was excellent. Ben Wallace's 10+15+3 performance in two consecutive games prevented the two teams from unnecessary defense.

    After defeating the Celtics, the SuperSonics' record improved to 40 wins and 9 losses, becoming the first team to win 40 games this season!

    The Sonics continued to advance rapidly. On February 4, Cassell returned from injury after a back-to-back injury. The Sonics came to Salt Lake City and narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers 98-95 away from home, winning 8 consecutive victories. On February 6,  The SuperSonics came to Boston and defeated the Celtics 90-81 away from home. They won 9 consecutive victories and improved their record to 42 wins and 9 losses!

    It¡¯s nine consecutive wins again, and the SuperSonics have a chance to win their second 10-game winning streak this season before halftime!

    It just so happens that the Sonics have one more game before the All-Star Weekend, and their opponent isthe second-place Bulls in the Eastern Conference!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Kobe, do you see, 23+24, doesn't it look good? If you don't let Tracy change his jersey number to No. 23, our two teams will look very neat when playing games.

    "Oh, I forgot, the Bulls have retired the No. 23 jersey, what a pity"

    Kobe was about to turn around and leave immediately, but Zhang Hao held him back.

    Ben Wallace was watching and wanted to leave, and he also had the urge to hit the boss.

    Ben Wallace also doesn¡¯t understand, why does his boss become such a virtuous person when he meets a friend from back then?

    Where is arrogance?  What about ruthlessness?  What about indifference?

    Ben Wallace admires Kobe very much - he can still have such a good relationship with such a tough guy. Tracy McGrady even went to have dinner with Jordan, but Kobe didn't go to find his idol, but came to walk on the road with Zhang Hao.

    Thinking about it carefully, Ben Wallace didn¡¯t even know that he knew that Zhang Hao would always become a different person when he met an old friend, but he actually came here

 Chapter 494 494. The beginning of the collapse of the draft direction (12,000 words, please vote for me!)

    On the morning of February 8, the last game day before the All-Star Weekend, at 10 a.m., the NBA officially announced the specific entry list for this year¡¯s All-Star Weekend.

    Eastern Conference, Heat's Eddie Jones, Celtics' Glenn Robinson, Bucks' Ray Allen, 76ers' Mutombo, Nets' Marbury, Knicks  Alan Houston of the Pistons and Jerry Stackhouse of the Pistons were jointly selected to the All-Star reserve team.

    Together with Iverson, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter, and Duncan, they formed the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup.

    In the West, the Lakers' O'Neal, Pierce, and Payton, the Timberwolves' Garnett, the Kings' Webber, the Trail Blazers' Rasheed Wallace, and the Jazz's Malone were jointly selected for the All-Star bench.

    Together with Kidd, Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway, Zhang Hao, and Wang Zhizhi, they formed the Western Conference All-Star lineup.

    The announcement of the All-Star reserve lineupwell demonstrates the characteristics of star distribution in today's league.

    In the outer rays in the east, even the striker is selected as a All -Star player, all of which are small forwards.

    ??As for the forward positions in the Western Conference, they are all power forwards. Pierce has been playing shooting guard most of the season. As a guard, he was selected by the coaches of each team into the All-Star substitute lineup.

    For the All-Star bench, the coaches select players, usually 1 center, 2 forwards, 2 guards, and 2 liberos.

    ?The guard selected by all Eastern Freemen, and the power forward selected by all Western Freemen.

    Generally speaking, the star structure in the Eastern Conference is more deformed, with 12 All-Stars and 10 outsiders!

    But this game is definitely worth watching, and it is very interesting. There are not many insiders in the Eastern Conference, but the outside lines are too strong.

    Since before Jordan and Zhang Hao retired last time, the overall strength of the East and West has been very balanced. There are top players in each position in the East and West. The competition is naturally one move after another.

    Now the style of painting on both sides has gone, but the stars have their own characteristics. Such games are actually quite attractive.

    Which one is stronger, the outside army + Duncan, or the inside army.

    As long as the All-Star players are of sufficient quality and the lineup is a little biased, it doesn¡¯t matter.

    And the All-Star Rookie Challenge, which was so popular last year, this year

    First grade team:

    Marcus Fizer of the Wizards averaged 8.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

    Chris Mihm of the Cavaliers averaged 7.6 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.

    Stephen Jackson of the Nets averaged 8.2 points, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He was selected in the second round of the 1997 class and was given up. He only entered the NBA as a substitute player this season.

    Mark Jackson of the Warriors averaged 14.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. He was drafted in the second round of the 1997 class and was given up. He only entered the NBA this season.

    Kenyon Martin of the Nets averaged 11.4 points, 7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.

    Mike Miller of the Cavaliers averaged 11.5 points, 4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

    Darius Miles of the Clippers averages 9.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.

    Maurice Peterson of the Raptors averaged 9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.

    Desmond Mason of the Bulls averaged 6.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

    These are the nine rookies who have performed best this season after half the season. The one who supports the scene is Mark Jackson, who only has a minimum salary of US$320,000 this season. With his performance in the past two months, Mark Jackson has received  A three-year, $11 million contract extension.

    If the rookies of the past few years are put together into a team, it will give people the impression that these people will definitely win the championship if they play together.

    These people from the 2000 class, even if Stephen Jackson and Mark Jackson from the 1997 class are added, it still gives people the feeling that when these people come together, Yao Ming has hope!

    The most important thing is to have contrast

    When seeing the comparison between the first and second grade lineups, the fans didn¡¯t know how to play in the first grade!

    Sophomore team:

    Baron Davis of the Hornets averaged 14.1 points, 5 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

    Richard Hamilton of the Wizards averaged 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

    Hu Weidong of the Suns averaged 12.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

    Odom of the Raptors averaged 17.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

    Jason Terry of the Hawks averaged 20 points and 4.5 assists per game.

    Andre Miller of the Cavaliers averaged 14 points and 8.2 assists per game.

    Grizzlies¡¯ Elton Brand averages 20.1 points and 10.1 rebounds per game.

    Shawn Marion of the Cavaliers averaged 15.8 points and 10.7 rebounds per game.

    Artest of the SuperSonics averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.

    Comparing this lineup, the first graders look so eye-catching!

    &nHarrisSilver Fox is having a blast!

    Kidd played with Zhang Hao, Garnett, Webber, and Wang Zhizhi.

    Anfernee Hardaway played with Pierce, Zhang Hao, Rasheed Wallace and O'Neal.

    You can be as showy as you want!

    Not to mention, the performance was really good!

    Especially the lineup where Wang Zhizhi can pull out to shoot three-pointers, Kidd is not sticky and can distribute the ball well, Webber and Garnett are either in transition, cutting or shooting, and Zhang Hao is the main attack, so exciting.

    The Eastern Conference team also played very interestingly. Duncan went four by four, or Mutombo went four by four. The tactics arranged by Hubie Brown of shrinking defense + star players playing in isolation were also very good.

    The main reason is that this group of players is too strong. The tactics that can be played in theory can be achieved by just tinkering with them!

    Some tactics seem outrageous, such as asking a center-sized player No. 24 to play shooting guard, but he can really play!

    The score reached 78 to 71 at halftime, with the Western team leading by 7 points!

    It can be seen that both teams really want to win!

    ??In an era when the quality of stars is higher and a star has a stronger desire to beat other stars, even the All-Star Game, which has little impact on the regular season, will be very intense and exciting!

    Zhang Hao scored 28 points in the half, breaking his scoring record in the All-Star Game. The previous 27 points were scored in his rookie season.

    The best performer in the Eastern Conferenceis Duncan!  23 points and 9 rebounds. The Eastern Conference has more perimeter players. Duncan has played longer than Mutombo. His awareness of movement without the ball is very good, and he has naturally become the best contact point in the Eastern Conference.

    Because a certain player No. 21, who did not want to be named, shamelessly insisted on saying that he was a power forward, the "battle for the most powerful forward" between Zhang Hao and Duncan was also hyped by the media. This time, they really matched up.

    In the second half, the Eastern team launched a counterattack, trying to defeat the Western team with speed.

    Duncan¡¯s explosive physical fitness can keep up with the speed!

    However, the Western team sent out a frontcourt combination of Zhang Hao, Garnett, and Rasheed Wallace. Kidd guided and Pierce followed up to take the shot. The Eastern team rushed forward, giving Zhang Hao a chance to score!

    In the third quarter, Zhang Hao scored 17 points in a single quarter, breaking the All-Star Game single-game scoring record of 41 points set by Chamberlain in 1962, raising it to 45 points, and there was still one game left to play!

    Relying on Zhang Hao's 17 points, the Western team scored 38 to 35 in a single quarter, 116 to 106, and the Western team opened the point difference to 10 points!

    By the end of the quarter, Iverson, Kobe, Carter, and McGrady took turns playing singles, and the Eastern team once narrowed the point difference to 6 points.

    But seeing Zhang Hao score 45 points in three quarters, the Western Conference All-Stars were already excited!  Zhang Hao scored 16 points in the final quarter, leading the Western team to a 36-38 score over the Eastern team.

    As early as 9 minutes and 44 seconds into the third quarter, when Zhang Hao raised his personal score to 42 points, the scene was completely crazy. Every time Zhang Hao scored a goal in the last quarter, the fans cheered wildly!

    In the end, relying on Zhang Hao's 61 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 1 block in a single game, Kidd's 4 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists, Garnett's 12 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, O'Neal's 18 points and 6 assists the Western Team ended with  Won this crazy offensive battle 152 to 144!

 Chapter 495 495. No, that¡¯s not garbage time (13,000 words, please vote for me!)

    ? 23 of 31 shots, including 8 of 12 three-pointers, plus 7 of 9 free throws, Zhang Hao scored 61 points!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s first 60+ points in a single game of the new season actually came from the All-Star Game, but this is even more shocking than Zhang Hao¡¯s 60 points in the regular season!

    After the game, the temporary teammates and opponents were also dumbfounded.

    During the game, when the participating players saw Zhang Hao scoring 40 or 50 points, they didn¡¯t think it was a big deal.

    This is Zhang Hao, a man who can score more than 80 points.

    During the game, players from both teams were involved in the game.

    But after the game was over, I remembered that this was the All-Star Game

    Theoretically speaking, Zhang Hao¡¯s reputation among Mesozoic players should be very poor.

    ¡°Just like Jordan and Larry Bird back then.

    Even Magic was not very popular as a player, but he always smiled when he saw people, which gave the impression that he had a good relationship with everyone, but it was not a good one either.

    Zhang Hao is different. He is domineering but not domineering, proud but not arrogant.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the court, but the reputation on the court is hard enough, people will be jealous, but also convinced.

    When we worked together, even though it was just one game, Zhang Hao had excellent touch. In order to win, his teammates would constantly find ways to pass the ball to him.

    And at this time, the stronger his teammates are, the easier it is for Zhang Hao to make good use of his teammates' abilities, which is once again highlighted!

    In fact, when partnering with Cassel and Jordan, Zhang Hao also did a good job in this aspect. Finding form, maintaining form, and distributing physical strength during the game This is also a way to utilize the strength of star teammates.

    It seems that it is not as obvious as two or three years ago. On the one hand, Zhang Hao's own strength has improved greatly. On the other hand, his ability at this point has also become stronger, which in turn helps his teammates do more.

    But in this game where all the NBA's top players played, the Eastern team did a good job of shrinking and making up shots. However, the Western team had Zhang Hao, a super shooter who interspersed at all scoring points, and forced the Eastern team's defense to  Fragmented.

    "Compared to the Eastern Conference's outside stars who fought hard one by one, although the Western team won a thrilling victory, they played very easily.

    It¡¯s just Although during the game, the Western team players trusted Zhang Hao and were willing to pass the ball to Zhang Hao

    But after the game, when David Stern presented the AMVP trophy to Zhang Hao, most of the stars in the Western Conference were extremely jealous!

    He passed so many assists to Zhang Hao, and the ball passed to Zhang Hao turned into an assist 17 times. Many of them were still the kind where Zhang Hao used the cover of Garnett or Rasheed Wallace to catch the ball and shoot directly, plus cutting in to contain it.  players, that is, at least three people are helping Zhang Hao score in one round.

    Don¡¯t say it, I am very happy to partner with Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao can move and find opportunities by himself, and pass to Zhang Hao and turn it into an assist. Zhang Hao¡¯s catching and shooting ability is among the top five in the league

    But after it was over, I saw that I and the others scored more than a dozen points at most, and Zhang Hao scored more than 60 points alone The temporary teammates felt that they were blinded by lard!

    He actually helped Zhang Hao create a record that is difficult to break!

    But I have to admit that if you don¡¯t organize the offense and don¡¯t consider the transfer ball, Zhang Hao will score really hard!  From scoring outside the three-point line to scoring at the basket, he is the best in the world!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao won the second All-Star MVP trophy in his career. The last time he won it was in his rookie season.

    Of course, no one would think that this would be Zhang Hao's last AMVP trophy. Zhang Hao said in the roundtable interview at the All-Star Game that he was 'too old at 24 years old', which made many people react - Zhang Hao didn't just look young.  , he is really tender!

    Counting the year of retirement, the sixth season is already halfway through, and Zhang Hao is only 24 years old!

    This indirectly promoted a public opinion - choose high school geniuses or freshman talents!  If you choose someone like Zhang Hao, you will have no core problems for at least 15 years!

    Especially those centers who are eighteen or nineteen years old, relying on Zhang Hao, have gained more favor.

    Many people are predicting that after Zhang Hao reaches 30 and his athletic ability declines, he can rely on his solid shooting skills, excellent static physical condition, and excellent passing ability to completely transform into a center!

    It¡¯s really not impossible for a 38-year-old like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to still win FMVP as an inside core!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s health condition is obvious to all, he is at the level of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Parish, and AC Green.

    And this has also put huge pressure on the stars, veterans, and even the new generation of geniuses of the same generation.

    Like the duo composed of the Mesozoic superstar Tracy McGrady and the new generation superstar Kobe, seeing Zhang Hao score 61 points with the help of the Western Conference superstars,p; At 3 minutes and 22 seconds of the fourth quarter, the SuperSonics led by 15 points and basically sealed the victory. Then they only needed to play defense and win the game steadily without any problem.

    But it was at 8 minutes and 11 seconds of the fourth quarter that he made his eighth three-pointer of the game before taking a break!

    The suspense of the game was lost. Zhang Hao played for nearly 5 minutes, shot 7 more goals and scored 3 goals.

    The moment the final whistle sounded, O'Neal rushed directly to the opposite bench and shouted at Zhang Hao: "Didn't you say you are not interested in scoring points? What are you doing tonight? It's so despicable! You are scoring points in garbage time!"  "

    The teammates gathered around Zhang Hao, but they did not go up, but watched the excitement.

    Zhang Hao looked at the furious O'Neal and responded: "Garbage time? No, I attach great importance to your team. In my opinion, it is not garbage time. It is very likely that if I leave the game early, you will come back."

    "" O'Neill was speechless.

    The teammates were also speechless

    Zhang Hao made 20 of 44 shots and scored 61 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks!  He scored the first 60+ points in the league this season and the last 60+ points in a single game. He led the team to defeat the Lakers and won 7 consecutive victories at the end of the season, ending the season with a record of 65 wins and 17 losses!

 Chapter 496 496. Is it going to start again?  (12,000 words, please vote for me!)

    Zhang Hao scored 60+ points in a single game for the seventh time in his career, surpassing Jordan's second record of 60+ points in a single game of 6 times. The only player ahead of him was Chamberlain 32 times.

    Dreams, after all, are necessary. Although Zhang Hao is "obsessed with the help of superstar teammates," what if there is a situation like last season without a scorer around him in a few years, and Zhang Hao needs to use soaring points to win?

    Also, the SuperSonics¡¯ best record in team history of 64 wins and 18 losses in the 1995-96 season was shattered in Zhang Hao¡¯s second year!

    At this time, the Nets, which had been developing for a long time, were named again by major media.

    The three teams that Zhang Hao has played for, the Lakers and SuperSonics, both led by Zhang Hao, broke the best record in team history, but the Nets did not.

    When Nets general manager Max saw the news, he threw a cup on the window - 'He has been playing with us for a month, what can we do to refresh the best record in team history?  ¡¯

    Now, almost six seasons have passed, and the Nets' trade of Zhang Hao has been compared with the Hawks' trade of Bill Russell to the Celtics.

    The key point is that this is an era under construction of the information highway, the heyday of the modern basketball era

    Bill Russell was sent to the Celtics by the Hawks. People will think that the Hawks are crazy if they find out, but most people don't know. Zhang Hao was sent to the Lakers by the Nets, and no one needs to pay special attention.  explain!

    With the completion of all 7 games on the 19th, the 2000-2001 regular season has come to an end, and the record rankings have been fully released.

    The Wizards are ranked last with a record of 13 wins and 69 losses. No matter how hard the Sonics try, they won't be able to win faster than the Wizards are losing. Even if they want to pull off a two-level reversal, they won't be able to win.

    It seems that the SuperSonics team has declined in strength due to rest periods for part of the time. However, if there are no rest periods, what if there are many injuries to the players?

    And they have already won 65 games. Everyone in the Sonics is very satisfied. They didn¡¯t even set 60 wins as a goal at the beginning of the season. With so many veterans, they rushed to win 55 games in the regular season, and finally got 65 wins. The SuperSonics  The team unanimously believes from top to bottom that the result of the current choice is the best result they can embrace.

    The Wizards are ranked last, the Warriors are second from last, and the Magic are third from last. These three teams have the highest probability of winning the No. 1 pick.

    In the East, the 76ers are first with 57 wins and 25 losses, the Bulls are second with 53 wins and 29 losses, the Bucks are third with 53 wins and 29 losses, the Raptors are fourth with 49 wins and 33 losses, and the Heat are fifth with 48 wins and 34 losses.  The Cavaliers are sixth with 47 wins and 35 losses, the Knicks are seventh with 43 wins and 39 losses, and the Pacers are eighth with 41 wins and 41 losses.

    The Hornets have 39 wins and the Celtics have 36 wins. It can be seen from the transactions between the two teams from the middle of last season to last summer. The two teams want to be bad, but they can't. Baron Davis and Anthony  -Walker has performed very well this season.

    If it weren¡¯t for the Cavaliers¡¯ stronger performance than expected in the new season and the Pacers¡¯ strong lineup making the playoffs, the Hornets might not even have a chance to draw the lottery.

    In the West, the SuperSonics are first with 65 wins and 17 losses, the Lakers are second with 63 wins and 19 losses, the Kings are third with 55 wins and 27 losses, the Trail Blazers are fourth with 54 wins and 28 losses, the Suns are fifth with 54 wins and 28 losses, and the Mavericks are 53  The Jazz are sixth with 29 wins and 29 losses, the Jazz are seventh with 52 wins and 30 losses, and the Timberwolves are eighth with 50 wins and 32 losses.

    The Rockets are as tenacious as ever, with 45 wins and 37 losses, but they didn't make the playoffs They can't play badly, and they can't make the playoffs The expected duo of Mobley and Stromire-Swift  , the second round came out, second place

    Neither the 42-40 Spurs nor the 39-43 Clippers made it to the playoffs.

    On the night of the 19th, the NBA official website took the lead in announcing the playoff lineup.

    On the 22nd, the four-group series between the 76ers and Pacers, the Raptors and the Heat, the Lakers and the Jazz, and the Kings and the Mavericks started first.

    On the 23rd, the four-group series between the Bulls and the Knicks, the Bucks and the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers and the Suns, and the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves will be held in relay.

    On April 20, NBA announced the Player of the Month Award for the last game month.

    Iverson relied on his 6-2 record in April to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award for the third time this season.

    Zhang Hao won the Western Conference Player of the Month award for the third time this season with his performance of 7 wins, 0 losses and 40.9 points per game in April.

    Cavaliers coach Paul Silas and Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders won the Eastern and Western Conference Coach of the Month awards respectively.

    The Cavaliers made a strong counterattack this year, and first- and second-year players such as Andre Miller, Mike Miller, Marion, and Mihm performed really well.

    Rookie of the Month, Mike Miller won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for the third time this season, and Courtney Alexander won the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for the second time this season.

    &nbs?The Sonics won the next series against the Trail Blazers.

    Reward: Designated Medal: Wolf Roar Golden Upgrade Card Fragment*1.

    Advanced reward: If you can achieve a big score of 3-0 in the first three games of the series and finally win the series, you will be awarded the Steve Nash Character Transformation Medal.  "

    On the 1st, after the Trail Blazers advanced to the second round, Zhang Hao received a task prompt.

    Revenge, you must take revenge if you lose!

    But the reward is

    Medals or skills with too different playing styles may not have much effect.

    However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!  Zhang Hao will still work hard to get it!

    ¡­¡­

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the first game of the second round between the SuperSonics and the Trail Blazers at home began.

    Time will eventually leave its mark on players.

    Between the first round and the second round, the Sonics got 6 days of rest, which is a good thing. The veteran-dominated Sonics need rest, but the time is too long.

    This is because Jordan was unable to find his form in the first half. The Sonics could only rely on defense. Fortunately, Zhang Hao took the initiative to take over the offensive banner in advance and led the team with Cassell to compete with the Trail Blazers.

    At this time, Artest played a greater role than expected. Then Ben Wallace's rushing threat and Zhang Hao were able to open up the space. Artest scored once and caught the ball in the first half.  A foul, an offensive rebound and a tip-in, 6 points and 2 assists, and two steals for Rasheed Wallace on the defensive end!

    After halftime, the Sonics stubbornly controlled the point difference within 10 points, trailing the Trail Blazers by 7 points 37-44.

    But Jordan is Jordan. After the halftime adjustment, in the third quarter, Zhang Hao scored 15 points in the first half and was in good shape!  He scored 9 points in the third quarter and in turn passed a three-point assist to Zhang Hao and a baseline cut-in assist in the triangle offense.

    In the third quarter, the Sonics scored 28-20. After three quarters, the Sonics led by 1 point, 65-64!

    In the final quarter, Zhang Hao counterattacked three times in a row, relying on Rasheed Wallace to win the jump ball. The Trail Blazers, who took the lead in the final quarter, failed to score in the first three attacks. Zhang Hao hit a wave of 6-0, raising his personal score to  27 points, while extending the lead to 7 points!

    ? 71 to 64, the SuperSonics began to take the initiative!  Started a steady and steady star attack + strengthened defensive confrontation style of play.

    This style of play cannot allow the Sonics to widen the point difference when facing the Trail Blazers, but it is very stable!

    This kind of stability also makes the mentality of the Trail Blazers players gradually explode No matter whether they start the regular season well or poorly, they will be slowly worn out by the Sonics in the end!

    In the end, the score was fixed at 90 to 84. The Sonics relied on Zhang Hao's 34 points in a single game, Jordan's 18 points, Cassell's 14 points and 8 assists, and Ben Wallace's 8 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks  First win in the series!

    Nash looked at the other side 'Are the days when I can't win against this bastard about to start again?  Was last season just God¡¯s comfort season for me?  ¡¯

 Chapter 497 497. The most anticipated Eastern and Western finals!  (12,000 words, please vote for me!)

    In the first two years of his career, Nash never defeated Zhang Hao even once. Last season seemed to be an accident. This year he lost five games in a row

    When playing against the Trail Blazers, as long as Jordan's mid-range shooting status is online and the veterans can perform normally without cheating on the field, the SuperSonics' advantage becomes more and more obvious.

    The Western Conference opponent that the SuperSonics coaching staff pays most attention to is the Lakers, but the opponent that has been studied the most is the Trail Blazers.

    The coaching staff already knows Zhang Hao¡¯s broad mind, and Silver Fox knows him best.

    Last season, he lost to the Trail Blazers 5 times. Zhang Hao will definitely want to come back with revenge this season, so he must be more fully prepared.

    In addition to the factional divisions within the team and the aging of Sabonis and Steve Smith, there is another reason for the Trail Blazers' decline - their style of play has hardly changed over the years.

    Since Mike Dunleavy coached the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers' style of play has not changed much. In terms of recruiting players, regardless of personality, they have actually done a good job. They are all players that Mike Dunleavy needs.

    Mike Dunleavy is only good at on-the-spot command, and basically doesn't know how to build a system. When he led the Lakers to the Finals in his rookie coaching season, he relied on the system left by Pat Riley, and now he relies on the system left by P.J. Carlesimo.  system, of course he has excellent on-the-spot command capabilities and is also very powerful.

    It¡¯s just that several years have passed, and they reached the finals last season and last season. Now, opponents can guess all the changes in their playing style!

    The Suns have nothing to do. The Suns have almost become a pure outside team, but if other strong teams can find a way to restrain the Trail Blazers, it will be too difficult for the Trail Blazers to defeat the opponent's targeted strategy.

    With the experience of 4 games in the regular season, and the comeback in the second half of G1, the Sonics have more confidence in dealing with the Trail Blazers, and the coaching staff is more determined to implement their established strategy.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The first games of the four series in the second round were all beyond people¡¯s expectations.

    It seems that the Trail Blazers really can't beat the Sonics. Last season, the Trail Blazers trailed the Sonics 1-2 in the regular season. The situation immediately changed in the playoffs, and they almost completed a sweep of the Sonics.

    Moreover, the Trail Blazers have reached the finals for two consecutive years. This year's lineup is deeper. Under the leadership of the bandit leader, the Gangsters narrowly defeated the Suns in the first round and played at a very high level. Obviously, if these two teams finally win  No one would think they are worthy of the championship. The two teams are really strong.

    Fans who think the Sonics can beat the Trail Blazers still need more.

    ¡°But the Trail Blazers started well, but in the end they were beaten by the opponent and suffered a comeback This still surprised people.

    The Bulls won three games in a row against the Knicks and came back 3-2. People thought they had found their form, but in the second round they were defeated by a lower-ranked team in G1

    The 76ers were upset in the first game, which was the most surprising. Carter made 9 mid-range shots in a single game, missed any mid-range shot, and caused 3 fouls to the opponent and made all 6 free throws.

    Carter scored 24 points with a mid-range shot, destroying Duncan's defense.

    Before, people only remembered Carter's dunks. This series, at least at this stage, has made many people take Carter's strength seriously.

    The series between the Lakers and Kings was the most surprising. The Kings defeated many top teams in the regular season, including the SuperSonics, Lakers, 76ers, Trail Blazers, Suns, and Jazz. These six teams competed for the championship.  The Kings, a top-level team, have won all of them, and they have the upper hand in most of their matches!  But in the playoffs, being beaten by Payton, Pierce, and O'Neal, the offense was messed up.

    There are unexpected things, although it will make some fans have unhappy thoughts, but it is more attractive to more fans who like to "find differences"!

    Fans prefer to watch games other than those analyzed by the media and experts. If everything has been analyzed, what else should we watch? Just read the game report.

    On May 5th, the NBA officially announced the three best lineups.

    All-Rookie Team:

    Mike Miller, Maurice Peterson, Mark Jackson, Darius Miles, and Kenyon Martin were selected to the first team together.

    ?Courtney Alexander, Desmond Mason, Marcus Fizer, Chris Mihm, and Turkoglu were selected for the second team.

    Best lineup:

    Iverson, Kobe, Zhang Hao, Duncan, and O'Neal were selected for the first team.

    Kidd, Carter, Garnett, Webber, and Mutombo were selected for the second team.

    Payton, Jordan, Tracy McGrady, Anfernee Hardaway, and Ben Wallace were selected to the third team.

    Best defensive lineup:

    &nbArrive.

    But Jordan has a strong ability to adjust. Based on the situation after the first round, he increased the amount of training during the break. At the same time, he communicated more with the coaching staff, combined with game experience, to judge which offensive methods would be better against the Lakers.  A good offensive method and targeted trainingmaintained the competitive status in the second round!

    The Lakers are not a vegetarian either. After O'Neal entered the playoffs, his condition was obviously better than in the regular season!

    One of the most important points is that O'Neal weighs 141 kilograms!

    29 years old, the best age, 141 kg, the current best weight.

    O¡¯Neal wants to win the championship, which can be seen from his weight control. At the end of the season, O¡¯Neal lost a full 3 kilograms based on the trainer¡¯s advice and the actual situation!

    Although Jordan's status was online and he threatened the first ball, Cassel's big game narrowed the gap with Payton, and Zhang Hao played more proactively than the three times they played against each other in the regular season and was in excellent shape as always But the Lakers  The team did not fall behind!

    In fact, the Sonics seemed a little passive and failed to guard against it!

    After the first quarter, the Sonics relied on Artest's tip-in to increase the score in the single quarter to 28 points, leading the Lakers by 1 point 28-27 to enter the intersection break.

    The SuperSonics coaching staff definitely wants to play defense and fight a war of attrition, but the Lakers don't want to. The Lakers are playing defensive tactics of quick movement and switching on the defensive end. On the offensive end, they also make more use of O'Neal's distribution instead of  Let O'Neal single.

    The coaching ability of the best coach Carlisle was well demonstrated in this year's playoffs, combining excellent lineup depth and star strength very well!

    However, the Sonics players are also very adaptable. Although the expected rhythm was not achieved, they relied on strength and independent adjustments to not fall behind!

    Entering the break, Zhang Hao feels that although the Lakers have Horace Grant, pick-and-roll offense is the most suitable to deal with O'Neal now.

    Zhang Hao also learned the pick-and-roll with Jason Williams, Kukoc and others, but he only had so much time and the progress could not be said to be effective in such a game. It was not as good as the top arc of the pick-and-roll and direct hand-to-hand passing.  It's easy to come by suddenly.

    The thing is, but if you can¡¯t do it, then you have no choice. You can only start with what you can do, and you can¡¯t dwell on things you can¡¯t do.

    On the other side, Lakers coach Carlisle is also very troubled in terms of subsequent tactical adjustments. Indeed, he has the game rhythm he wants and has not been led astray by the Sonics.

    But that doesn¡¯t mean they control the rhythm!

    On the contrary, under this rhythm, the SuperSonics played very comfortably. Zhang Hao scored 7 points and 2 assists in the first quarter. Hornacek and Kukoc, who came off the bench, both received Zhang Hao's points and assists, and Zhang Hao's 7  Among the points, 5 were scored after Jordan was replaced and rested. Cassel's steady back play was difficult to defend against Dan Marley or Fisher's defense.

    Even Artest, a second-year role player, finished the first quarter with 4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 assist.

    Zhang Hao, Jordan, and Cassell increased their ball holding ratio in the playoffs, but the performance of the Sonics' role players did not decline. They maintained their performance through more active rushing and more effective running!

    The coaching staffs of both teams are having a headache, as the other team is too difficult to deal with.

    But the players are excited!  In this evenly matched game, players on both sides entered a state of enjoying the game and getting involved!

 Chapter 498 498. I love world peace (12,000 words, please vote for me)

    Zhang Hao and O'Neal's teammates were surprised by the excitement and happiness that could not help but appear on their faces!

    The guy on the opposite side showed ridiculously strong abilities at the beginning of the game, but his strongest player actually became more and more excited and happy the more he played!

    Both of them enjoyed it!

    This emotion also affected his teammates.

    Based on the performance of the two teams this season, when they meet each other, it can be said that they are matched against each other!

    ¡°It¡¯s certainly nice to win a game with absolute dominance like in the second round, but if you win against such a well-matched opponent, you¡¯ll feel that sense of accomplishment

    The two sides tested each other in the first quarter and made it clear that the other side was not the same opponent as in the first two rounds.

    Maybe the Kings and Trail Blazers are championship-level teams, and even the Jazz can barely qualify as a championship-level team, but the opponent in front of them is definitely at least one better than the other six teams in the Western Conference that have made the playoffs.  Class!

    ?Winning or losing is unpredictable, but it also makes the two teams more eager to win this game.

    Soon, the second quarter began, and both teams rotated, starting a tug-of-war.

    The two teams performed well not only because of their respective stars, but also because of their high-quality role players!

    The Lakers are surprisingly strong in the playoffs, and a very key point is that the injury problem with their bench lineup that has plagued them for a long time in the regular season has not recurred!

    The Lakers activated the roster tonight, O'Neal, Payton, Pierce, Danny Manning, Horace Grant, Rex Chapman, Dan Marley, Fisher, Brian Shaw, Rick  -Fuchs, Mark Madsen, Greg Foster.

    The SuperSonics' activated roster tonight includes Zhang Hao, Jordan, Cassell, Ben Wallace, Artest, Dell Curry, Mookie Blakelow, Ruben Patterson, James Poe  West, Kukoc, Jason Williams, Hornacek.

    Except for the Trail Blazers and Raptors, no team can match the depth of the two teams' lineups!

    When the stars of both teams are in trouble, both teams have suitable role players who can step up.

    In the second quarter, the Lakers scored 27-24, 54-52. The Lakers took a two-point lead into the second half.

    In the first half, the two teams played an offensive and defensive battle based on team play. The Sonics were overall slightly weaker.

    Carlisle commanded it well and distributed O'Neal's physical strength extremely well. After learning from the experience of the two teams' first two encounters in the regular season, Carlisle's tactics and rotation adjustments have been better in the third encounter, and  The Lakers won the third meeting between the two teams, and Zhang Hao was terminated without receiving the reward of "Shark Experience Baby".

    O'Neal's strength, when his outside teammates have enough strength, the team offense built around him cannot suppress even the SuperSonics, which is third in the league in defensive efficiency this season and second only to the 76ers in overall defensive performance.  !

    The SuperSonics strengthened their defensive confrontation and slowed down the pace, but the Lakers scored 27 points in the first quarter and 27 points again in the second quarter!  The most it does is prevent the Lakers from getting better and better.

    However, with a two-point lead at halftime, Zhang Hao¡¯s old teammates, including the Lakers players who had played against Zhang Hao many times in the playoffs, felt uncertain.

    Not only was the score only two points ahead, the Lakers were only slightly better in the overall performance of the first half. Neither the score nor the situation had a clear and clear advantage. The SuperSonics also performed very well tonight!

    Sure enough, in the third quarter, Zhang Hao began to fight for his life regardless of physical exertion!

    In the first half, Zhang Hao only tried his best to output while reasonably allocating his physical strength. He was allocating his physical strength according to the goal of playing the whole game according to his current physical strength.

    But after the first half, after the intermission, and in the third quarter, Zhang Hao directly played as if the game had reached the final quarter!

    This operation directly broke the relatively balanced situation in the first half.

    In terms of his strongest state, there is still a gap between Zhang Hao and Jordan in his last three consecutive seasons. Therefore, he would not be able to lead the Sonics to an invincible third quarter like the Bulls did in the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons.  .

    But they still performed like that in a good part of their games this season, just because he had better teammates this season, allowing him to just play normally in the first half, making good use of his counterattack ability, catch-and-shoot, and end-of-quarter  The key ball was played in singles, and it was only in the third quarter that the fight began!

    After spending a season adjusting his playing habits, Zhang Hao is already very comfortable and can perform at his best when he returns from the halftime break!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Zhang Hao would not have adjusted his style of play in this aspect, had it not been for the rapid improvement of Ben Wallace after the defensive system built around him.; Looking at Zhang Hao who was beginning to accept the second wave of interviews, Kenny Smith said to Barkley who refused to interview Zhang Hao after the game: "He just won. How can he say that if he lost?"

    "Akers will lose? Kenny, what are you talking about in your sleep? Even if he is behind 0-3 in the Western Conference Finals, he will definitely win!"

    Kenny Smith gave himself a slap in the face This partner is as unable to communicate normally as the stone Buddha!

    On the other side, Zhang Weiping asked: "Akers, you have reached the finals for the third time. Is there anything you want to say to the fans?"

    "Thanks to the fans for their support" Zhang Hao was preparing for his customary official speech. When he saw Artest being surrounded by veterans and patting his head, he changed his speech: "I love world peace."

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The SuperSonics eliminated the Lakers in a tiebreaker and reached the finals!

    O¡¯Neal had the best playoff performance of his career, but the image of him being eliminated was disappointing

    At this time, the happiest people are really not the Seattle fans, but the Boston fans.

    The Lakers have won 13 championships, and are only 3 short of the Celtics' 16 championships. O'Neal is too strong. In this Western Conference Finals, Boston fans are the most active fans on the Internet, and they are also the most fearful fans.  .

    At first, Boston fans hated Zhang Hao and Jordan the most. Now, Boston fans have collectively transformed into believers of gods and Buddhas

    The SuperSonics have already arrived at the Finals and are waiting. At 5:30 in the evening on June 7, the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals will begin at the Wachovia Center.

    The Bulls won three games in a row and tied the score at 3-3. Kobe and McGrady continued to attract fans in this Eastern Conference Finals. This duo is too strong.

    Countless people were stunned by the performance of Kobe and Tracy McGrady, expecting the two to continue to create miracles If they reach the finals, they will also create miracles against the Sonics

    This is really a god-level playoff performance!

    But it is a pity that this time it is the turn of the two top picks with average talent to go berserk!

    Iverson had 34 points and 13 assists, Duncan had 31 points and 20 rebounds, Mutombo had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 7 blocks!

    In terms of role players, George Lynch and Hubie Brown tried to use Raja Bell, and both scored 10 points. In the third quarter, Raja Bell's three open three-pointers gave the Bulls a fatal blow!

    Although Kobe Bryant scored 36 points, McGrady scored 24 points and 10 assists, and Desmond Mason scored 20 points, the Bulls only scored 91 points, while the 76ers scored 108 points!

    Without giving Plan B another chance, the 76ers defeated the Bulls 108-91 in the tiebreaker, advancing 4-3 and meeting the SuperSonics in the finals!

    Zhang Hao, Jordan, Iverson, and Duncan will compete in the finals!

 Chapter 499 499. The Red Finals (12,000 words, please vote for me!)

    "Famous head coach Larry Bird once again proved his status as the strongest defensive coach"

    Zhang Hao looked at the evaluation of Larry Brown's coaching this season by American cable television. They were all full of praisebut he couldn't deny this, which made him feel strange.

    Last night, Zhang Hao was happy and regretful when he saw that the Bulls lost to the 76ers in the tiebreaker and the 76ers regained their dominance in the first three games of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    No matter which one of these two opponents is eliminated, Zhang Hao feels regretful, just like seeing the Suns eliminated after the first round and the Kings after the second round.

    If possible, he hopes to play all 15 opponents in the playoffs

    ¡®If the veterans find out about my idea, they will probably come to visit me with knives in hand, so forget it

    The opponent is the one who has been winning before, so he must be a better opponent.

    But this Brown is really good. In this year's playoffs, his defensive adjustments were in place in every round. Fortunately, he met the little blacksmith who was 20 points behind and refused to give up. The little blacksmith also had a key game player beside him than the little blacksmith.  Tracy McGrady, who is so fierce as a blacksmith has become the top coach again. Could it be that he is the one who created the first tens of millions of annual salary for a head coach?  ¡¯

    After the 1996-97 season, Larry Brown resigned because the Pacers failed to reach the playoffs. In the 97-98 season, Larry Bird couldn't find a suitable person and chose to coach himself. The Pacers jumped to 60  A winning team, this is a strength that Larry Brown has never come close to in his four years of coaching. During Larry Brown's coaching period, the Pacers won a maximum of 52 wins.

    Because of this, Larry Brown¡¯s reputation plummeted.

    But this season, he led the Bulls, who had a poor lineup other than Plan B, to second place in the Eastern Conference, made consecutive comebacks and reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and even reached the tiebreaker his reputation was suddenly reversed!

    Carlisle, Hubie Brown, and the SuperSonics coaching staff, whose coaching skills were not inferior to those of Larry Brown in the Eastern and Western Conference finals, were all overshadowed. There is even a saying that Larry Brown should be the best this season.  coach,

    ¡°Those who didn¡¯t know better thought Larry Brown was the final winnerbut he really became the big winner.

    Yesterday was the day of the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals. In the morning, Zhang Hao helped the coaching staff sort out the problems encountered by the team in the Western Conference Finals. In the afternoon, the SuperSonics team had a rest. This morning, Zhang Hao came to the arena early to start preparing for the game.  The day after tomorrow is the first game of the Finals against the 76ers on the 10th.

    As early as when the Eastern and Western finals reached tie-breaks, the league announced the schedule of the finals, starting on the 10th, ending on the 17th at the earliest, and ending on the 24th at the latest.

    You have to make good use of the two days of preparation time. Today is not a training day, but a tactical meeting day. There is training in the afternoon, which is all personal training.

    At this point in the game, for the Sonics, everything has reached its limit. Strategic plans and tactical changes during the game are much more useful than training.

    Whether it is a strategic plan or the ability to make just the right tactical changes during the game, a large amount of tactical reserves are needed to support it.

    At 8:30 in the morning, when Michael Jordan, the first teammate to come to the arena, appeared, Zhang Hao was in a daze He thought of their opponent, the Lakers, who had just been eliminated by them two days ago.

    This Lakers team, their SuperSonics team was so strong this season, it took until the third quarter of the tiebreaker to really gain an advantage and finally win the series.

    This Lakers team is so strong!  Zhang Hao suddenly remembered the team he and O'Neal formed in the 1997-1998 season. Although they won 73 games and won the playoffs, that Lakers team and the current Lakers team, together with the current Lakers team, were three teams.  Fighting for the championship

    ¡®Who is the strongest?  ¡¯

    This idea came up, and Zhang Hao couldn't help but think about it

    ¡®What a pity, the Lakers and I are both in the Western Conference and can¡¯t compete on the highest stage Then just enjoy the Finals against the 76ers with average talent!  ¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    On the 8th, the afternoon after the Eastern Conference Finals, the SuperSonics had begun preparations, and the 76ers also came to Seattle.

    The Pacers died without any problems, and the 76ers are already recognized as the strongest team in the Eastern Conference. The three stars of Iverson, Duncan, and Mutombo are extremely powerful. Snow, George Lynch, and Aaron McGee  , Te'lon Hill, Matt Geiger, Rodney Buford and other role players are also very good.

    The SuperSonics are regular season champions, have reached the finals, have two superstars who won championships in the 1990s and won the most FMVPs. The number of stars and role players is even greater than that of the 76ers.

    Although it was difficult to win the Western Conference Finals between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, from this year's Western Conference Finals, people saw how powerful the Sonics are!

    ????Hao had been sweating during the break, and his physical strength returned to the halftime break. He was stronger than Iverson now. Plus, he was unhappy about being almost fouled. His style of play was just playing with his life.  beat!

    It feels like saying-'Come on, continue to offend me!  ¡¯

    Quite obviously arrogant attitude, but who dares to play on the 76ers?

    The morale of the 76ers was originally good. Although they did not continue to rush forward in the third quarter, they were still leading by 4 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Now, they have fallen directly to the bottom!

    At this time, Duncan really couldn't inspire his teammates.

    Only Iverson is still rushing!

    But in the first half of the fourth quarter, Iverson made only 1 of 5 shots, his worst performance in a single quarter of the game, and the 76ers only scored 7 points!

    Although the SuperSonics only scored 10 points after Zhang Hao scored 5 points in a row.

    However, coupled with Zhang Hao¡¯s 5 points, the Sonics scored 15-7 in the half quarter. When the official timeout entered, the Sonics led the 76ers by 4 points, 82-78!

    The official timeout came back. Originally, the plan was for Zhang Hao to hold on first and start the confrontation. Jordan, Cassel and Ben Wallace would then finish the game after they came on the court.

    But after the official timeout came back, Cassel was not on the court, and the lineup of Zhang Hao, Jordan, Artest, Ben Wallace, and Jason Williams was replaced!

    The 76ers had already replaced Mutombo and Snow, but the effect was not obvious. The Sonics still scored 10 points in 5 minutes. After a timeout, they continued to replace the starting lineup.

    In the second half of the fourth quarter, Iverson made 6 more shots. This time it was okay. He made 3 of 6 shots and led the team to 10 points in the second half of the final quarter.

    Finally, driven by Iverson's life-threatening style of play, the 76ers players began to gradually resist the huge intimidation brought by Zhang Hao.

    But during this period, the Sonics scored 11 points!

    At 11 minutes and 16 seconds of the fourth quarter, the SuperSonics led 93 to 88 by 5 points and had the ball!

    It¡¯s time for the Sonics to attack again. Only by preventing this attack can the 76ers continue to maintain hope.

    When Mutombo and Duncan were both on the court, it was difficult for Zhang Hao to break through. He was cut off twice on his breakthrough in the first quarter. Jordan went to the high post to receive the ball and provided support from behind, but was flanked. Artest on the right was free, but  This time Jordan didn't pass Artest, but hit the ground pass Zhang Hao cut through the baseline and received the ball. Duncan and Mutombo reacted very sharply and flanked in place!

    Zhang Hao holds the ball with both hands, takes a step towards the right side of the three-second zone, takes off, and makes a small hook

    The take-off height was obviously not high enough, but neither Duncan nor Mutombo was able to catch the shot. Their take-off was also restricted due to confrontation with Zhang Hao's arm.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s little hook bounced on the basket and fell into the frame!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s personal score increased to 41 points. At the same time, the SuperSonics led the 76ers 95 to 88, and the point difference widened to 7 points!

    With 30 seconds left on the clock and a 7-point difference, the SuperSonics have secured the victory!

    Iverson missed the last two three-pointers and forced the number of shots to 40. Ben Wallace of the SuperSonics failed to make two free throws

    Amid the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, the final whistle sounded, and toward Zhang Hao¡¯s 22 points in the final quarter, the Sonics defeated the 76ers 95-88 and won their first victory in the finals!

 Chapter 500 500. The future...is still mine (8000 words)

    "Wherever the Buddha's light shines, all are places of light. The final mission in the Return of the King series: The future is still my trigger."

    ¡°The future is still mine:

    Goal: Zhang Hao needs to lead the SuperSonics to defeat the 76ers in the 2000-2001 season finals and win the championship.

    Reward: Designated Medal Cross Step King Gold Upgrade Card.  "

    After the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt that the task related to this reward was not triggered in the regular season last season, and it has not been triggered in the regular season this season, so it was left here.

    Zhang Hao looked at the big screen. Iverson made 15 of 40 shots, including 3 of 12 three-pointers, plus 12 of 13 free throws. He scored a game-high 45 points The shooting percentage is a bit too much.

    However, although the final shooting percentage was bad, during the game, every time Iverson broke through, Zhang Hao felt panicked and felt like he was going to lose points, even when he was defending.

    The key is that in a confrontation like the finals, Iverson threw it 40 times!  This does not include those offensive possessions where the shot was fouled and went to the free throw line and was not counted in the number of shots.

    The good thing is that their Sonics team did not rest for seven or eight days after the Western Conference Finals like the Lakers in the original time and space. The veterans were in poor condition and were lax and careless.

    The Sonics, including Zhang and Jordan, who have won multiple championships, were not careless at all.

    14 of 28 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 11 of 13 free throws, Zhang Hao also scored 40+ in the first game of the finals, 41 points in a single game, plus 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Although there were 5  Mistake, but not bad!

    Amid the crazy cheers of the fans and attacks on the visiting team players, Iverson, who scored a game-high 45 points, left the field unwillingly.

    Zhang Hao was invited by Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Bill Walton to participate in a post-game interview after the game.

    "Akers, congratulations on defeating the Lakers and reaching the Finals and winning your first victory in the Finals. How do you feel now?"

    Zhang Hao responded: "This is a good start. I like this result very much. There is an old saying in our country that everything is difficult at the beginning. I am very happy to win the first game."

    ¡®You look a little happy!  ¡¯ Bill Walton cursed, and after finishing his daily attacks on the Lakers, he started to get angry: ¡°You bumped into Raja Bell during the game. What do you think about this matter?¡±

    Zhang Hao responded calmly: "Shouldn't it be said that I hit him?

    According to my understanding, when a forward rushes to the basket at full speed, a defender should dodge. Even if he does not dodge, if he wants to draw a foul or steal, he should stand face-to-face and be ready to fall back at any time, or  He was reaching out towards me, but when I watched the replay, he was reaching out towards my neck I think he was probably too short-sighted, just like you, Mr. Wharton, and he could see all this wrong.  "

    "" Bill Walton knew he would be retorted, but he wasn't angry. Originally, he didn't want to ask this question, but the TV station needed him to ask such a question

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The first battle of the finals was fierce and exciting!

    Iverson scored 45 points in a single game, setting a new personal scoring record in a single game in the Finals. Among them, 18 points in the second quarter proved his super explosive scoring power.

    But the overall performance Just like Iverson in the 1999 Finals when he ranked first in points per game but did not win the FMVP, the efficiency was indeed not very good.

    And Zhang Hao scored 41 points on 14 of 28 shots, including a super 22 points in the final quarter. He scored 20+ points in a single quarter for the second time in the finals and led the team to complete a comeback in the final quarter.

    Duncan, on the other hand, made 10 of 18 shots, plus 5 of 9 free throws, and scored a steady 25 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. If the 76ers really win the championship, with Duncan's performance, he will most likely win.  to fmvp.

    Duncan's performance steadily suppressed Jordan.

    Mutombo¡¯s role in the first battle with Ben Wallace seems to be half-matched.

    Mutombo almost completely blocked the penetration of Kukoc, Ben Wallace, Artest, Jason Williams and others.

    Although the Sonics have a better lineup of role players, judging from this game, the performance of the role players of the two teams was similar.

    At this time, in a very difficult situation, Cassel, who still scored 14 points and 5 assists, was the one who decided the outcome.

    When the Sonics' wing shooters failed to make a shot, Mutombo defended the rim and cut in, and Zhang Hao and Jordan were tightly guarded, Cassell scored 14 points against the pressure defense of Iverson or Snow, and his efficiency was inefficient.  High, but the team must score points at the time when the team's scoring breaks.

    Otherwise, we will fall behind even more after three quarters!

    After the game, Cassel?'s 16 points, Jason Williams 9 points, Ben Wallace 11 points, Horner 6 points, Kukoc 7 points The SuperSonics won 100 to 88 in Game 6 of the Finals.  Defeated the 76ers, 4-2, and won the championship!

    The moment the final whistle sounded, the teammates who had already been unable to contain themselves on the sidelines rushed straight into the court and hugged their teammates.

    Zhang Hao was also hanged several times, and he had tears, runny nose and everything.

    Schrempf, Bryant Sticky, and Sam Perkins. Unfortunately, they did not play in a game in the playoffs this year, but it is precisely because of the three of them that the SuperSonics can compete in the regular season.  The long-term rotation of 10 people ensures the health and condition of the stronger veterans!

    The fans at the scene have already gone crazy. After more than 20 years, they have reached the top of the NBA again!  The last time they won a championship was before the Magic Bird era. Since Magic and Big Bird entered the NBA, they won 8 championships in 10 years. Throughout the 1980s, NBA entered a stage of rapid development, but there were only 76 championships.  The Celtics and Pistons each won a championship in the 1980s, and the other teams were in the background.

    In the mid-1990s, Jordan retired, and the NBA entered the stage of hegemony launched by Olajuwon and Zhang Hao. The returning Bulls were only one of the strong teams. The 76ers won the championship, the Pacers won the championship, and the Lakers won the championship.  The Rockets won the championship, the Bulls won the championship, but in those years, the Sonics and Jazz, who had the possibility of winning, failed to touch the championship trophy.

    Finally, Hornacek, Sam Perkins, and Schrempf can finally win the cup!

    Many old fans at the scene shed tears when they saw Schrempf and Sam Perkins crying. Sam Perkins came to the SuperSonics in 1992 and Schrempf came to the SuperSonics in 1993.  , handed over the peak years of his career to the SuperSonics, and finally fulfilled his dream!

    After the game, the first thing the fans at the scene shouted was not Zhang Hao¡¯s various nicknames, nor Jordan¡¯s name, but ¡®def¡¯ or ¡®Sam¡¯.

    Iverson and Duncan stood together. Duncan's expression was as unchanged as before, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Iverson jealousy made his face distort

    The gap in strength is indeed quite large, less than one level, but very close.

    ??Obviously, the Western Conference Finals is the strongest matchup in this year's playoffs.

    Iverson was so unwilling to accept it. Losing in the finals itself had already made him emotionally explode.

    Another point - he didn't even see Zhang Hao explode!

    Zhang Hao scored 50+ points in a single game in the past two finals, but when he played against them, his highest score was 41 points.

    Iverson¡¯s brain circuit is very strange at this time. If Zhang Hao knew what he was thinking

    ¡­¡­

    Just like the 76ers adjusted their tactics after reaching G3 to revolve around Duncan and Iverson as a pure scorer, the Sonics' entire offense is also centered around Zhang Hao, with the purpose of allowing Zhang Hao to take more shots.  , and it was implemented earlier, starting from the first game of the finals.

    In 6 games, Zhang Hao scored 41 points, 32 points, 32 points, 35 points, 14 points, and 31 points respectively, averaging 30.8 points per game, second only to Iverson's 32.5 points per game, and in terms of shooting percentage, Zhang Hao was 49.8.  % field goal percentage, 34.6% three-point shooting rate, and 91.1% free throw shooting rate, which are much better than Iverson. Even Duncan's 49.5% shooting rate is not as good as Zhang Hao.

    Averaging 30.8 points per game, plus 11.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 3.3 steals and 2.7 blocks, Zhang Hao won the Finals MVP for the third time in his career and received the FMVP trophy from Bill Russell!

    Jordan is holding the O'Brien Cup, Zhang Hao is holding the FMVP trophy, and his teammates are standing on both sides of the two. This scene draws a footnote to the 2000-2001 season!

    Everyone else on the 76ers team left, but Iverson and Duncan stayed on the scene to watch.

    Watching the Sonics players take turns holding the trophy and taking photos for a long time Iverson was very disdainful - it's just a championship, but it's still a group of huggers. Is he so excited?  He has it too!  Although he didn't get FMVPbut he believed he would get it one day!  Because he has Duncan!  Zhang Hao¡¯s Jordan will grow old soon!

    After a while, Iverson and Duncan, who were watching the celebration from the other side near the technical stage, saw Zhang Hao walking towards them.

    Zhang Hao finally got rid of the excessive enthusiasm of his teammates, took off his jersey stained with snot and tears, and came to Iverson and Duncan.

    Zhang Hao handed the jersey to Iverson. Iverson was stunned for a moment and took off his own jersey. Duncan also quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Zhang Hao. Then the two reached out and grabbed Zhang Hao's wet jersey

    The cameramen who were filming quickly surrounded the three people.

    After taking over the jerseys from Duncan and Iverson, Zhang Hao let go of his own jersey and didn't care how they divided it.

    Duncan didn¡¯t know what to say at this time, so he held on to the jersey tightly and refused to let go. Iverson had no choice but to give in. He was just about to say something harsh

    Zhang Hao spoke first: "You guys played great, but I'm back.

    The futurewell, you are all older than me, so I think the future is still mine.  "

 Chapter 501 501. The much-watched No. 6 pick

    'I'm back.  ¡¯

    Zhang Hao¡¯s words to the 1999 championship team became a classic scene in the finals after the finals.

    As for the sentence ¡®I think the future is still mine¡¯¡­ there really aren¡¯t that many people discussing it, more people are complaining about it.

    If you win someone else, you still want to use your age to hit them?  It's simply perfect for Zhang Hao's temperament.

    ??It¡¯s so honest, so polite, and kindly reminds the other party not to be too depressed if you lose in the future

    Everyone knows that the next era will be the era when the stars shine and Zhang Hao is the most dazzling.

    And what Zhang Hao said after winning the championship, "I'm back," was even more shocking than what he said when he just came back!

    After the SuperSonics and Lakers played such a Western Conference Finals battle, most people expected the SuperSonics to finally win the championship. Otherwise, the 76ers' double No. 1 pick combination would be on the altar.

    Although many people expect Duncan to catch up with Zhang Hao's number of championships, it would be best to defeat Zhang Hao head-on.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in this year¡¯s Western Conference Finals has attracted a wave of fans. Compared with the 76ers who were turned upside down by the Plan B combination in the Eastern Conference Finals, Zhang Hao indeed looks more dazzling.

    As for the players in the Eastern Conference, the most popular player in this year's playoffs is really not Iverson, Duncan, or Carter, but Kobe.

    At this time, nothing else matters. In the past few days after the SuperSonics won the championship, the entire basketball world was discussing Zhang Hao.

    Before changing teams and not winning the championship, people kept questioning Zhang Hao¡¯s choice.

    Even if he averages a triple-double per game, he has always been questioned, and because he averaged a triple-double per game, the doubts are even greater - if he continues to partner with O'Neal, he may win several consecutive championships.

    But now, all doubts have been shattered!

    Give him an old Jordan and he can still win the championship!  It doesn¡¯t have to be O¡¯Neal!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    ??Winning celebrations, championship parades On June 27, Zhang Hao was finally freed from team-related matters.

    After the championship parade, Hornacek, Schrempf, Sam Perkins, and Mookie Blakelow chose to retire.

    Schrempf has one year left on his contract, but it¡¯s not much.

    Mookie Blakelow has one year of salary left of US$5.7 million and chose to defer payment. According to regulations, the Sonics will pay US$1.9 million in salary each year for the next three seasons.  Occupying $1.9 million in salary space.

    However, there will be a need for signings and player renewals this summer, so it is an ideal choice to put the not-so-large salary pressure into the future.

    After Hornacek retired, he joined the Sonics coaching staff as promised and became the shooting coach.

    Schrempf entered management and went to the commercial operations department for an internship.

    Bryant Sticky, who joined midway, had his contract expired. After winning the championship, he received a one-year contract offer from Larry Harris and politely rejected the contract, preparing to enter the free market.

    With these five people retiring and choosing to leave, the Sonics' 15-man roster has been reduced by one-third.

    As for Kukoc, it¡¯s hard to say yet, as his contract has expired, but he wants to join the free market.

    When Zhang Hao learned the news, he didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong. At Kukoc¡¯s age, this was his last chance to win a Canadian contract.

    Reuben Patterson¡¯s prospects for contract renewal are also unclear. His two-year base salary has expired and he has no bird rights.

    Dell Curry chose to execute the last year of his contract.

    In the season that just ended, Dell Curry played 60 games, averaging 6 points and 1.3 assists per game. He is in good physical condition. He is 36-37 years old and in excellent health. His three-point shooting rate is 42.2%, which is higher than Zhang Hao.  He only takes fewer shots, but his ability to grasp big gaps is really strong, but he has lost the ability to shoot against the defense.

    Dell Curry chose to stay with the team, which played a certain role in alleviating the Sonics' pitching crisis.

    As for Ben Wallace, he chose to renew the contract that was negotiated before, and the mid-level contract was renewed.

    As a second-defense leader, although he is a purely defensive player, Ben Wallace¡¯s market price is between 6 million and 7 million US dollars. This is definitely a salary reduction to stay on the team.

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao was finally free. Buckley made an appointment with Zhang Hao and came to Zhang Hao's home for an exclusive interview.

    First, there were some interviews about winning the championship, and they were quickly skipped. Barkley also knew that these things had long been asked in various group interviews after winning the championship.

    Getting to the point, Barkley asked: "Who is stronger, Kobe or Michael?"At this stage, who will be selected by the Sonics is a more hot topic.

    Although it may be forgotten again in the future, just after the finals, Kassel's stable performance of averaging 14.5 points and 6.2 assists per game in the finals has been widely recognized.

    Jordan is getting older and stronger. He averaged 23 points in 6 games in the finals. When G6 secured the victory with more than 30 seconds left, he ran out of singles and ran out of time The sense of ritual is still very strong.

    There are rumors that Ben Wallace is unwilling to enter the free market and will renew his contract with the Sonics.

    Zhang Haothe first person in the alliance!

    Although Zhang Hao¡¯s contract has expired, there is no reason to leave the team.

    With these four people, the Sonics will not worry about the players who are not coming to hug their thighs. They are the favorites to win the championship in the new season. Who the Sonics will choose at this time is very much concerned.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the draft began.

    David Stern came to the center of the stage, smiling amidst the boos of the New York fans as he does every year, and there was a bit of excitement today. After opening the envelope, David Stern's 'longing'  Beautiful ideas can be seen at a glance.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2001 NBA draft, the Washington Wizards selected with the first overall pick a killer from China!"

    There is no suspense. Wizards owner Pauline, who holds the No. 1 pick, chose Yao Ming, a prospective junior at Georgetown University!

    David Stern doesn¡¯t even pronounce his college name anymore. Starting from 1999, Chaoting Channel began to broadcast the draft.

    Yao Ming did not come to the scene and did not participate in the joint trial training. After participating in the trial training for the top three picks, he returned to China to prepare for the Universiade.

    Although Yao Ming did not participate in the joint trial and will not join the Wizards immediately next season, the Wizards still chose him without hesitation.

    Why do you have to participate in the Universiade Zhang Hao can guess this.

    The gold medal dream is one aspect, which is very important, but the most important thing is the other help these competition awards at various stages have for Yao Ming.

    "Brother Hao, I was selected. I got the first pick that you didn't get, hahaha"

    Zhang Hao received a text message from Yao Ming and really wanted to block him!

    Ignoring Yao Ming, Zhang Hao was very curious. After Yao Ming is selected, which high school student will be selected by the Magic?

    ?Eddy Curry, Kwame Brown, Gasol, Tyson Chandler

    ¡®Of these four people, no matter who is selected by the Magic, the Magic can train them, right?  ¡¯

    Three minutes passed quickly, and David Stern announced the Magic¡¯s choice¡ªKwame Brown!

    Kwame Brown came on the court and put on a Magic hat.

    ¡®Sure enough, he is a younger brother with small hands. The Magic like this type of center.  ¡¯

    With the third pick, the Warriors selected Tyson Chandler.

    With the fourth pick, the Grizzlies selected Pau Gasol.

    With the fifth pick, the Hawks selected Eddie Curry.

    As expected, the top five picks are these five people. Although they are different from the prediction that the Warriors will select Gasol, the other picks are basically in line with the media's predictions.

    With the sixth pick, the Sonics' selection is the one that gets the most attention.

    If Yao Ming does not run for the draft, if Gasol continues to stay in La Liga, and if the three high school students do not emerge, in the eyes of people, none of this year's college candidates will be worthy of the No. 1 pick.

    The first five people have been selected. What the Sonics want to select is what the Sonics think is the best among the college students who are participating this year except Yao Ming, or the best among the high school students except those three.  .

    Just when people were looking forward to it, the big screen and live broadcast footage cut to the sub-stage.

    The host on the sub-stage took the microphone and said: "The Seattle SuperSonics sent the 6th overall pick, the 29th overall pick in the second round, James Posey, and acquired Tyson Chandler from the Warriors!  "

    This deal caused a sensation in the draft!

    Chandler is constantly putting on and taking off the Warriors hat. The Greater Bay Area is a great place!

    Suddenly, I heard that I had been traded!  Chandler was shocked at first, then confused, and after realizing it, he was very excited!

    The enemies of the Lakers are Chandler¡¯s friends!  Although he grew up in Los Angeles, Chandler's favorite team is not the Lakers!  Instead, his dream is to enter the NBA and lead the team to defeat the Lakers.

    ????????Is there any team in the league today that has a better chance of beating the Lakers than the Sonics?  The Sonics just defeated the Lakers, Tyson Chandler threw his Warriors hat aside and was ready to add to the Sonics!

 Chapter 502 502. Crazy free market (12,000 words)

    The Warriors selected Jason Richardson with the sixth overall pick.

    Jason Richardson, 20 years and 5 months old, Michigan State University, won the NCAA championship with the team in 2000, ranked 33rd on the NCAA's top 100 basketball talents in the United States in the 2000-01 season, and has not been selected for the NCAA's annual award  .

    The Sonics chose to trade a young striker + draft picks for Tyson Chandler. If anything, it¡¯s not a loss in terms of transaction value.

    James Posey has defensive talent and shooting talent, but compared with Artest, there is a qualitative gap in talent. In the season that just ended, although James Posey was an important member of the championship, he was not indispensable.

    However, as soon as the Sonics won the championship, they dismantled the winning lineup

    Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the Sonics are not breaking up. Several veterans have retired and the Sonics have already broken up.

    The SuperSonics have reached a time when they must rely on the draft, free agent signings, and trades to rebuild their championship lineup.

    Encountering this situation just after winning the championship, the Sonics are really special.

    However, the SuperSonics' championship framework is still there and they only need to add role players.

    It seems that the Warriors did not choose Gasol and reached an agreement with the Sonics from the beginning. As long as Tyson Chandler is not selected with the second pick, the Sonics will complete the deal.

    The Warriors were predicted to choose Gasol because the Warriors' owner and general manager expressed their doubts about whether high school students can adapt to the NBA, that is, a conservative team, so all media predicted that they would choose Gasol.

    But now it seems that the Warriors¡¯ initial target should be Jason Richardson.

    Su Qun, a commentator on Chaoting Channel who broadcast the draft, said after the Warriors selected Jason Richardson: "It seems that the Warriors wanted to select Richardson from the beginning, but the salary of the sixth overall pick is higher than that of the third overall pick."  The pick is much lower and can be traded to Seattle's Posey."

    ¡­¡­

    The draft is still going on. Ever since Jason Richardson was selected by the Warriors, the direction of the draft has begun to deviate from what the media predicted.

    The Pistons selected another Duke University star, Sean Battier, with the 7th overall pick. Battier was originally expected to be the 6th overall pick.

    With the 8th pick, the Clippers selected Troy Murphy, who was predicted to be selected in the middle of the first round, and traded him to the Warriors.

    The Celtics have the Nuggets' 9th pick, and they also have the 10th pick, selecting Joe Johnson and Kedrick Brown in succession.

    The Hornets selected Kirk Haston with the 11th pick, another player who was predicted not to enter the lottery.

    There are actually quite a lot of talents in the 2001 class, and in Zhang Hao's opinion, there are quite a lot of them, but people nowadays really look down on this class of rookies. Just based on college performance and what they have shown, it is different from the five golden era draft years of 1995-99.  Not even close.

    Of course, the 95-99 generation, looking at the entire NBA history, is comparable to the 83-88 generation led by the 84 generation.

    The main reason is that the performance of the Class of 2000 was almost the same as that of the Class of 2001 in the last year of university, which greatly lowered people's expectations for the Class of 2001.

    This kind of draft year is different from a big draft year. It is easier to predict in a big draft year, but more difficult in a small year.

    SuperSonics Draft Office.

    Looking at the documents sent by the league staff to complete the transaction, Howard Schultz said excitedly: "Ben has entered his peak period, and Jason is old. Now we choose a high school student to give him some playing time and slowly develop him, and he can also follow Ben.  Learn defensive experience from Jason as your future helper"

    When an irreversible trend occurs, if you can't change the trend, don't even think about going against it.

    ¡°It will definitely become a trend in the future to no longer believe in the cultivation ability of universities and choose young talents aged 18 or 19 to slowly train themselves.

    The coaching staff, management, and Zhang Hao communicated many times, and finally made the decision to follow the trend. After finally submitting it to the boss, Howard Schultz agreed with the decision.

    You can also choose Gasol, but if you choose Gasol, you can only use it as the third inside man. It's a big loss and delays each other.

    The main reason is that Gasol is the core of the game. Gasol went to the SuperSonics for a trial. It is obviously the kind of game that requires him as the core of the tactics to bring out the best strength. He is very good. He was revealed to try out with the Wizards.  Yao Ming, who reported training, has his own merits, but it doesn't fit in with the Sonics' team-building plan.

    Howard Schultz is still confused and asked: "Akers and Kwame Brown are the most talented ones, right? Eddie Curry also has strong offensive talent, why not consider them?"

    ¡°Judging from the situation in high school, Ace Curry¡¯s offensive talent has the potential to become an inside man averaging 20+ points per game, but he has a lazy personality, so it would be difficult to choose him.Possibility of becoming a qualified substitute.

    With the sensation of bringing in Jordan last year, this year's signings of the SuperSonics are not that crazy in people's eyes. Coupled with the flow of several top players, the signings of the Sonics do not seem so amazing. People see that the SuperSonics' signings are not that crazy.  After the Sonics have assembled a 14-man roster, the evaluations are relatively objective.

    What is certain is that as the defending champion of the Sonics, Zhang Hao is at the top of his game, and he is definitely one of the biggest favorites to win the championship in the new season.

    The key lies in Jordan's condition. After all, Jordan is 38 years old and will turn 39 around the All-Star Weekend in the new season.

    The current reinforcements of the Sonics are centered around the four core offensive and defensive cores of Zhang Hao, Cassell, Jordan, and Ben Wallace. The importance of Jordan is self-evident.

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao has long expected the doubts about Jordan's status, after all, he is this age.

    But Zhang Hao has nothing to worry about. It¡¯s not like Jordan is as bad as Kobe. Even if he¡¯s only in good form for 20 minutes, that¡¯s enough.

    With a salary of US$1.03 million, what kind of bike do you want?

    Yao Ming, in the men's basketball event of the Beijing Universiade, led the team to defeat the United States 85-75 in the semifinals on September 6. On September 8, the team narrowly defeated Yugoslavia 72-67 in the final, setting a new record for the Chinese men's basketball team in the Universiade men's basketball event.  The best result in the basketball event, which was previously the bronze medal, was the first gold medal.

    The Chinese men¡¯s basketball team won the World Series for the second time. Although it was only the Universiade, it was still something worth celebrating.

    However, there is one more exciting thing

    This year¡¯s Basketball Asian Championship is also held in China. The host city is Shanghai. It has ended from late July to early August.

    In the Asian Championships, led by Wang Zhizhi, Hu Weidong, Liu Yudong, Li Nan, and Battelle, the Chinese men's basketball team was dominant and eventually won the championship easily.

    But we still encountered a little trouble in the group stage. It was not that the game was difficult, but that the opponent Lebanese team kept provoking during the game, and the Chinese men's basketball team tolerated it during the game.

    But after the game was over, I couldn¡¯t hold it back.

    The No. 7 player of the Chinese team, power forward Zhang Cheng of Jiangsu X-Light Club, and Lebanese center Eldumiaidi had a physical conflict and started fighting.

    Liu Yudong, Battelle, and Wang Zhizhi rushed forward, and other members of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team also rushed forward with chairs

    The police at the scene couldn¡¯t stop him. Almost all Chinese men¡¯s basketball players were fat guys starting at 200 pounds. How could they stop him?

    Ten minutes later, all the security personnel on the court came to the scene and pulled the Chinese men¡¯s basketball players away.

    In the end, three players from the Lebanese team suffered bloody head injuries

    ¡°Afterwards, the leader of the Lebanese team called 110, cried to the police, and even went to the hotel where the Asian Basketball Federation was staying to make a tearful complaint The Chinese Basketball Association made the most severe punishment in the history of the men¡¯s basketball team.

    Wang Zhizhi was fined 50,000 yuan, Liu Yudong was fined 30,000 yuan, Li Nan was fined 30,000 yuan, the other nine players were fined 20,000 yuan each, and Silver Fox was fined 10,000 yuan, and publicly apologized.

    A total fine of 300,000 yuan was imposed, creating the largest penalty in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

    As for the suspension In the meeting of the Asian Basketball Federation, Silver Fox started to spit wildly - "It's not a fight during the game. The game is over. Players from the two teams resolve personal grievances in private. Are there any regulations that don't allow it  "

    The police in the Pacific are lenient. After all the events held in China were over, Lebanon sued the United States.

    The fight two months ago really aroused a lot of public opinion in the United States.

    But just when Lebanon sued the United States and caused a storm of public opinion, a plane crashed into the World Trade Center in New York

    "There is no peace in this world. I am glad that my China is a country capable of peace."

    The time came on October 1st. Zhang Hao accepted an interview with domestic media and said this about the world being plunged into turmoil.

    With the collapse of the World Trade Center, the U.S. war machine revealed its ferocious claws.

    Living in the United States, Zhang Hao felt that the world was about to fall into turmoil, and life was still going on. The impact of this incident on the NBA is probably that NBA ticket revenue will be greatly affected, but in contrast, major TV stations have increased their live broadcasts.  of sessions.

    If you don¡¯t do bad things, you won¡¯t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The United States is now full of turmoil, and everyone looks like a terrorist.

    The training camp started as scheduled. Originally, the team left 8 people and signed 7 people. Now there are 7 old players and 7 new players. It always takes time to get familiar with each other. Last season, the preseason was almost over, and everyone really got to know each other.  Get online.

    Need to find a topic and expand the topic

    But this year is different, there is a common topic to talk about.

    NBA players are all rich people, and most of them are rich people in the United States. They sympathize with this kind of thing in their mouths and in their hearts, but for them, they don¡¯t have so many worries, and they don¡¯t have  So much empathy.

    Some of the topics we talked about were related to the impact on business, some were related to the impact on income, and some were related to investment problems.

    According to incomplete statistics, the losses caused by this attack to the United States in less than 3 weeks have exceeded one trillion U.S. dollars, mainly indirect losses, and the stock market collapsed.

    This is other people¡¯s business, especially for Zhang Hao. He mourned for the deceased for a while on the day of the air raid, and the next day he trained as usual in the morning and took care of his children in the afternoon

    The same goes for my teammates, the training camp started very smoothly.

    Time passed day by day, and it was October 7th, the last day of training camp.

    The topic that Zhang Hao heard his teammates chatting about today was when the war will end

    At noon, NBA officials started to make things happen. David Stern announced at the press conference that due to the strong expectations of fans and the 56th season of the NBA is about to begin, NBA officials will add 5 new players.  big-star'!

    ¡­¡­

    On October 10th, the preseason will be held as scheduled, and NBA official voting for the five superstars is also in full swing.

    David Stern said that many, many people suggested adding five new superstars, which is true, but that was all last season, to be precise, it was after the end of the 99-00 season.  , but the league¡¯s response at the time was that it had no such plan for the time being.

    Now I suddenly expressed my acceptance of this suggestion, the 55th anniversary has passed

    But this incident has indeed aroused the enthusiasm of fans. Major media, experts, and online forums are all discussing who the five new superstars will be.

    Among the active players, Zhang Hao has a high voice, and most of the candidates are veterans, such as Dominic Wilkins and Bob McAdoo, who were not selected into the top 50.

    In addition to this, recently, the league will mention Jordan and occasionally Zhang Hao in various official activities to create topics about the inheritance of the NBA.

    Maybe it's because it received instructions from Washington, or maybe it's to get the ball market back to normal as soon as possible Maybe it's both. The NBA is actively using Jordan's influence, and at the same time, it's also taking advantage of its increasing influence around the world.  Big Zhang Hao.

    Jordan is very active in cooperating with the league. Zhang Hao talking less is of great benefit at this time. Just follow the answer given by agent Henry Thomas and deal with it.

    During the preseason, the NBA officially announced that next year, preseason games will be played in Europe, China, and Asia. It has already discussed cooperation in this area with the European Basketball Federation, the Chinese Basketball Association, and the Asian Basketball Federation.

    Some media commented that many things in the NBA that should have been rolled out slowly are now forced to be carried out in advance.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The NBA has started to do a lot of things, and almost every day it announces new things that have a big or small impact.

    Help Americans regain confidence?  Zhang Hao thinks that may be the case, but he thinks it is more likely that he wants to avoid the impact of the 911 terrorist attacks on NBA revenue.

    This is a good thing for him. Although it doesn¡¯t matter if the stock price drops and he doesn¡¯t sell the shares, it still hurts to see him!  Fortunately, he took advantage of the crazy selling by American stock investors and decisively entered the market to buy a large number of Apple stocks Now that all the money has been invested, of course he hopes that the stock market will start to rebound

    The preseason went by day by day, and the time came to October 26. The SuperSonics defeated the Nuggets 93-85 away from home, improving their preseason record to 4 wins and 3 losses.p;When David Stern read Zhang Hao's name, Zhang Hao received a system prompt.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao was successfully selected into the list of superstars officially announced by the NBA. Congratulations to the host for receiving the 365-day life span reward.

    Remaining life: 2739 days, usable life 2738 days.  "

    So many years have passed, and finally, 6 years have passed since entering the NBA in 1995, and the remaining lifespan at the beginning of the new season has been greatly improved!

    'Sure enough, one's own hard power is the key. Although one can perform very well just by relying on star experience cards and prop cards, the krypton life is very powerful. Now, although the krypton life is still needed to do game reviews and simulation training, but  It's just that these consumptions are much better than the previous consumption of hundreds of days and nearly a thousand days of life per year.

    There are only so many lifespans I can get every year. The stronger my hard power is, the less I consume, and the more I accumulate!

    However, the monkey is a bit miserable!  The big fat guy is yelling at him to make him look good, and now there is a little blacksmith who is even more capable of defeating him, and he is probably also targeting him What should I do?  I want to fuck him too!  ¡¯

    "Haozi, who do you think is the best basketball player in the world?"

    "Uncle, you asked a very stupid question Oh, me!"

    The domestic media's names in front of the camera began to change. Zhang Weiping was called by his nickname, and the others were called by their first names. More Chinese names were called by nicknames. They were no longer called by their English names after Americans as before.  .

    ????In domestic reports, in the early days, more "foreign" English names were transliterated, or they were directly used in English. After all, many people in China felt that this was more "authentic".

    Now things have begun to change.

    There are some things that I don¡¯t pay special attention to at ordinary times, and it¡¯s not a bad thing.

    But in a new era, these things become important.

    ?Building confidence in the Chinese people cannot be done overnight, but if you do it one day earlier, the results will be effective one day earlier in the future.

    "The new season is about to start. Do you think you can defend the title?"

    "I don't know, and I don't want to know now. I hope there will be a stronger opponent than we did last season. Maybe we are stronger than last season, so I also hope there will be a stronger opponent than we have now.  , I hope my opponents can work harder to become stronger and steal the championship from me.¡±

    "You hope that a strong enemy will emerge that can defeat you? Your ideas are really different from others."

    ¡°I have been to the tops of mountains and experienced the troughs, and I have benefited a lot from both.¡±

    "57 wins, averaging a triple-double, and MVP, is this a low point for you?"

    "The lowest point was when I won 64 games. At that time, I didn't even have room to fight back against the defending champion."

    "" Zhang Weiping tried his best to soothe his emotions. This brat's pretense is really annoying!

    But what they told was the truth, which made it even more embarrassing.

    Changing the topic, Zhang Weiping asked: "In next year's World Championships, we will once again compete against the world's major basketball powers. What is your goal?"

    "Win the championship."

    "We are already number one in the world and our only goal is to win the championship?"

    "No, me, Xiao Ming, King, Hu Ge, Xiao Li the 12 of us are number one in the world, but our country's basketball is not."

    "What's the difference? You can't represent the country?"

    "We can represent the country, but we cannot represent the overall basketball of our country. The cruel point is that our group of people is special. I have a domestic team and I often follow them. I can clearly understand  , the overall strength of domestic young players is much worse than that of our generation, our basketball foundation is too weak, and more work needs to be done, this is cruel, but it is a fact."

    "You and Dayao are both still very young."

    "Yes, so I, Xiao Ming, King, and other outstanding domestic players need to work together to take advantage of the strong influence of our generation to lay a solid foundation for domestic basketball in the next 10 or 15 years"

    ¡­¡­

    On October 30, 2001, on the morning of the opening game between the SuperSonics and the Kings, Zhang Hao accepted an exclusive interview with the Imperial Sports Channel.

    The content of the interview is very different from before.

    The great China always only has the first place in its eyes.

    The great man drew a circle in the South China Sea, and the great national rejuvenation has entered a stage of vigorous development.

    But it has been weak for a long time, and the Chinese people urgently need a national image to boost their confidence.

    This person is Zhang Hao.

    In the years before, the country had not made up its mind. Most things were just not stopped and allowed to fend for themselves.

    In the 2000 Olympic Games, Zhang Hao displayed the national flag in front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers around the world, and eventually led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the world championship But things started to change. Last season, the domestic media reported unprecedented intensity on Zhang Hao.  !

    And this unprecedented intensity of reporting and promotion was started by the Imperial Court Comprehensive Channel News Broadcast.

    Last season, when the SuperSonics won the championship, on the night of domestic time, the News Broadcast used up to 3 minutes to report news related to Zhang Hao's leadership.

    At present, the NBA is preparing to use the international influence of Jordan and Zhang Hao to increase efforts to develop the Eurasian and Chinese markets and reduce losses. Coinciding with the turmoil in the United States, domestic high-level officials have issued instructions to follow the trend.

    Not only does it help the NBA open up the domestic market and further enhance Zhang Hao¡¯s image among Chinese people, it also spends money to promote Zhang Hao in other countries in Europe, Asia and Africa to help enhance the international influence of basketball.

    After years of ¡®investigation¡¯, the country?? 

    ??Obviously, the SuperSonics tonight did not play as steadily as last season. Instead, it looked like they were playing randomly.

    Ever since, in the final quarter, Adelman decisively chose the conventional defensive strategy to give it a try.

    We are already 13 points behind. Big adjustments must be made. No one in the Kings team wants to lose!  They want to shame the Sonics players on ring night!

    But this change cannot be said to be bad. Not only the second quarter, but also the third quarter is still okay.

    But Zhang Hao didn¡¯t shoot well in the second and third quarters. He sweated before the start of the last quarter and regained his physical strength at the beginning of the third quarter. Moreover, with so many wild shots in the past, the touch was back in the last quarter!

    Originally, Zhang Hao thought that he would encounter a tougher defense in the final quarter. He had already scored 37 points in three quarters, but in the final quarter, he found that the opponent used regular defense changes to deal with him His teammates were trying their best to pass the ball to him, but he continued to waste his time unceremoniously.  Investment mode

    Although I don¡¯t know why the Kings made such an adjustment, Zhang Hao seized the opportunity given the opportunity. If the Kings want to contain it, they will no longer be able to do so!

    At 9 minutes and 11 seconds of the last quarter, Zhang Hao made 9 of 14 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, soaring 24 points!

    When Zhang Hao scored his 9th goal in a single quarter, the SuperSonics already led the Kings 124 to 102, and completely defeated the Kings in the final quarter!

 Chapter 505 505. If others think you can do it, you¡¯d better really be able to do it (12,000 words, please vote for me)

    In the 2000-2001 season, Zhang Hao's 60+ points in a single game came later than before.

    But in the 2001-2002 season, Zhang Hao¡¯s 60+ points in a single game came immediately!

    At 10:24 pm on October 30, 2001, the game between the SuperSonics and the Kings ended, and all 7 games on the first game day were played.

    With 61 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in a single game, Zhang Hao led the SuperSonics to a 131-108 victory over the Kings and won the opening game!

    Played 37 minutes, made 22 of 40 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, plus 13 of 15 free throws He shot 40 times in the first game

    Zhang Hao¡¯s 60+ times in a single game has reached a quarter of Chamberlain¡¯s!

    If you include Zhang Hao¡¯s 61 points in the final game of last season Zhang Hao scored 60+ points in two consecutive games across two seasons!

    At the same time, Zhang Hao broke Jordan¡¯s single-game scoring record in the regular season opener!

    After the game, Jordan looked at the individual scoring rankings of the regular season openers displayed on the big screen Can't he consider the emotions of a veteran with a minimum salary?

    The first in history, Zhang Hao, 61 points; the second in history, Michael Jordan, 54 points.

    ¡®This brat plays so hard in regular time, doesn¡¯t he try to cover up his right to take my shot Wait, is this for the playoffs?  yes!  Our veteran group this year is not as strong as last year. For the sake of record and physical strength for the playoffs'

    Thinking about Zhang Hao playing 20 minutes in the first and last quarter tonight, Zhang Hao scored 42 points This is definitely a very good signal for their SuperSonics team to defend their title!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off. It is true that Zhang Hao has always shown a winning-first attitude.

    Last season, he led in points, assists, and averaged a triple-double. When Jordan came, he was ready to be a pure shooter, ready to face the degradation of his skills But Zhang Hao adjusted his style of play so that he, Qiao, could continue his relative success.  Use your accustomed style of play to stay more competitive in the playoffs.

    This is definitely a good thing for the team, but for Zhang Hao personally, the sacrifice is really big. With Zhang Hao's strength, it is possible to hit the MVP of the team

    On the other hand, it was a crushing night for the Kings players.

    Originally, the Kings thought that if the Sonics wanted to continue their dominance from last season, then the Sonics would have to play like they did last season, so they were not very afraid of a single individual from the Sonics, even Zhang Hao.

    In their view, in order for the Sonics to continue to be strong, something must be sacrificed.

    By using yourself to save others, every player on the Kings team is sacrificing some of their own characteristics in exchange for overall strength.

    ???As far as the Sonics were concerned last season, it certainly looked that way.

    Even tonight, after losing, the Kings players can still feel that if Zhang Hao had not exploded, then the Kings and the SuperSonics could really have played back and forth, not like last season, but real and final.  The Sonics, who were in strong condition and going all out, played back and forth.

    When a superstar breaks out like this, no team will treat him as a regular fighting force Also, Larry Brown regarded Kobe's breakout as a life-saving straw in the playoffs.

    But that was just a strategic expectation, when Kobe was still powerless.

    "But, Zhang Hao is totally unreasonable here!"

    Zhang Hao's performance tonight seemed to be saying - whether I get 60+ points does not depend on the team's style of play or who the opponent is, but on whether I want to

    ¡­¡­

    With 2 minutes left in the game, Zhang Hao was replaced and 60+ was obtained.

    After the game, he stood up and shook arms with Ben Wallace, who was on the field to celebrate. His teammates waved and greeted the fans Zhang Hao was soon caught up by his distant cousin.

    ¡®There are not many good people in this imperial court!  Knowing that I can't refuse Weiping Bryant's interview requestis he planning to be based in Seattle?  When will Chaotingdai build a domestic live broadcast room? The United States has started to do so Hey, wait a minute, they have a live broadcast room in China, and they ask him to interview me every day, isn't it the same?  Depend on¡­¡­'

    When Zhang Hao was slandering, Zhang Weiping had already finished introducing tonight's game to the camera, mainly bragging about how well the Sonics played. Wang Zhizhi had worked very hard to score 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block It felt like  It was Wang Zhizhi who led the Kings to fight tenaciously

    The biggest change in this year¡¯s live broadcast is signal independence.

    It can also be regarded as a way for the country to show its technological progress. When it broadcasts some NBA games live, it uses its own satellite signals, but it is only limited to the teams with the highest ratings in the country, and the cost is stillunderstanding.

    This time back in consecutive away games, Schrempf's jersey will be retired. Championship + retired jersey. This makes Schrempf feel at ease to stay and work. Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to retire Schrempf's jersey in the opening game, but the management  Layer and Schrempf together refused

    On the night when the championship flag is raised, retiring the jersey is indeed a very cool thing, but it has to be worthy of it.

    There may be some players who heard about this good thing and immediately agreed, but Schrempf was different. He was extremely rigorous. This can be seen from the detailed analysis that Schrempf was responsible for in the scouting report after the new season.  .

    ¡°However, this scouting report is still a bit too realistic.

    Zhang Hao thought that after a few years, when Jia Jiayi could no longer be beaten, he would stuff the gossip master in.

    Sometimes some gossip can also have very interesting effects.

    After lunch, Zhang Hao came to the hotel conference room.

    During the continuous away games, there was basically no training on rest days, but the Sonics players took the initiative to find something to do.

    Jordan would always call his teammates together after arriving at an away game to discuss tomorrow's game.

    Zhang Hao already reviewed last night¡¯s game on the plane this morning, and Jordan led his teammates in an in-depth discussion in the afternoon.

    I really can¡¯t take any time off

    There is no way, Zhang Hao is getting stronger and stronger, and Jordan will definitely become weaker year by year, but he just wants to have more presence and stronger team prestige, so he has to start from these aspects.

    ??It only takes an hour or two, and no one resists, and at the beginning of the season, this thing can really play a big role.

    ¡°For example, in their first seven games, especially the first four consecutive away games, it is obvious that everyone¡¯s cooperation is getting better and better.

    The starting lineup's defense is better than last season. The overall defense has declined significantly, but the overall offense has improved compared to last season Compared with last season's defensive decline, the new players cannot feel it, and the offensive coordination is getting better day by day.  Everyone can see that everyone is very motivated at the beginning of the season.

    After Jordan presided over several player meetings, he has begun to enjoy this status. He has rich experience and knows that the early season is the key to running-in. By the middle of the season, everyone is exhausted physically and mentally, and the running-in is a waste.

    After two hours of collective discussion, there were more or less some gains. People like Anthony Mason were very active in fighting for opportunities for themselves in the rotation stage, while Dan Marley and Ewing preferred to provide guidance from a tactical perspective, especially  It's the latter, it's pompous enough

    After being arrogant for a while, Jordan took everyone to a high-end restaurant in Jersey City for a meal in the evening.

    Another day passed, and Zhang Hao had gradually gotten used to the changes in the team in the new season. At around 8 o'clock in the evening, he and Tyson Chandler were playing StarCraft. They had just graduated from high school and were in the early days of the Internet.  Tyson Chandler quite likes playing games and wants to have a good relationship with the big guys. Zhang Hao called him and he came right away.

    The door was not closed, and Jason Williams suddenly rushed in: "Akers, the gang leader was attacked by Bowen, and the Portland gang and the Spurs are fighting!"

    ¡°???What the hell??¡±

 Chapter 506 506. What does destroying you have to do with you?  (10,000 words, please vote for me)

    In the new season, the most talked about figure of the Spurs is no longer David Robinson. At the age of 36, he averaged 14 points, 9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. It is still okay, but compared with Jordan and Malone in the same period, it is really far behind.  many.

    This is not the point. The point is that Arenas, the 22nd overall pick of the Spurs, put on the Spurs' No. 21 jersey and shouted like Zhang Hao, "I just want to see which 21 players in front of me are better than me."  '.

    It doesn¡¯t matter whether there are 21 rookies who are better than him. No one cares. Anyway, after Arenas shouted these words, he was targeted by two superstars wearing the No. 21 jersey.

    Garnett played against the Spurs and gave Arenas 1 steal and 2 blocks. Duncan played against the Spurs and gave Arenas 3 blocks. The two No. 21 superstars gave Arenas a taste of wearing No. 21.  What a jersey should have.

    The two No. 21s can¡¯t stand people who say such things!  It definitely has nothing to do with Zhang Hao!

    But Arenas is indeed famous. After being abused, he did not doubt his life, but worked very hard into the next game His strength is average, and there is a qualitative gap compared with the talented rookies of the last century, but  Much better than last season's Rookie of the Year, starting 8 games and averaging 12.4 points per game.

    In addition to Arenas, Richard Jefferson, who was selected by the Spurs with the 12th overall pick in the lottery, is also quite good. He averages 11.5 points, 6 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. He can shoot and cut, which is very useful.

    The Spurs made a huge profit by selecting two such talents with the 12th and 22nd picks.

    Such a team patiently cultivates the two talented rookies selected, gives them enough playing time and shooting rights to level up, and then fails one season has passed.

    But there was a player on the Spurs who wanted to cause trouble and stepped on Nash's feet when they were playing against the Trail Blazers

    After Nash was attacked, the Trail Blazers came together to beat Bowen, had a full-scale conflict with the Spurs, broke out a big brawl, and caused a "Rose Garden Incident."

    The media are still enthusiastically hyping the upcoming game between the Sonics and Nets.

    Who knew that big news would suddenly come out, the Spurs and Trail Blazers were fighting

    Before the new season has even begun, the Spurs have reached an early contract extension agreement with Bowen worth $7 million over two years.

    In this situation, the Spurs do not consider the salary situation in the next two years at all. They are rushing to train rookies.

    When they renewed their contract with David Robinson in the offseason, they happily gave him a two-year contract of US$25 million, which is higher than the market price. Anyway, they have a lot of salary space, including David Robinson's US$1,350 this season.  With a salary of US$10,000, the total salary is just over US$27 million, which is lower than the Bulls' US$29 million last season, setting a record for the lowest salary since the lockout.

    The salary cap stipulates that if the salary is less than 60% of the salary cap, this part of the salary must be supplemented and paid to every player in the team in proportion. No one is willing to sign up for the Spurs in the summer, so they might as well give David Robinson more money.  .

    Then, seeing that Bowen got a two-year contract with his ruthless defense, he decided to use his fists and kicks to let people know how good he is

    He was beaten.

    Fighting in the NBA is big news, but at this stage, it is hot news. The media immediately changed their focus and began to report the fight vigorously.

    David Stern is going to have a gray hair this year, and something like this happened again.

    A press conference was held that night to denounce the violent behavior of the two teams. A total of 16 players who were involved in the conflict were suspended and fined.

    If there is anything to be thankful for, it is that this game was not broadcast live, otherwise the negative impact would be even greater.

    But at this juncture where the US military promised to suppress bandits but ended up becoming even more bandit than bandit. They engaged in sports and caused violent incidents. David Stern's gray hair turned completely white overnight  ¡­

    ¡­¡­

    ¡®For such a big guy, Carter didn¡¯t go to protect him, but went to protect the bandit leader. I wonder if those people in Portland are thinking about fighting each other day by day to become famous?  ¡¯

    ¡°Twelve people have been suspended, eight of them are Trail Blazers players. The Trail Blazers cannot get rid of this title of villain.  ¡¯

    ¡®Dented nose bone + shattered nasal cartilage, concussion, elbow sprain, hip strain, knee contusion Where are these? How on earth did these people led by Nash beat people?  This posture is wrong. Why is this beating so weird?  ¡¯

    'However, the Trail Blazers have a total of 15 players, and 8 of them have been suspended. They can't even make up the minimum appearance list Let me see, the league chartered the Trail Blazers to sign two additional 10-day short-term contracts until the minimum of 9 players.  Enough people.  ¡¯

    ¡®Nash was suspended for 2 games?  I didn¡¯t see him doing anything in the video!  OhI pulled Bowen up when he fell to the ground'

    Last night the alliance only?A dazzling chapter, Jason Kidd¡¯s exclusive mission in Age of Gods: Triggered by a ghost.  "

    "Ghost:

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to lead his team to sweep the Nets in the 2001-2002 regular season.

    Goal 2: When the SuperSonics face the Nets at home in the 2001-2002 regular season, Zhang Hao must have higher scores, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks than Jason Kidd.

    Reward: Designated Medal Quarterback Silver Upgrade Card Fragment*1.

    Advanced goal: It can be triggered after completing the basic goal. Within two years, if Jason Kidd leads the team to the finals, Zhang Hao must lead the team to the finals and defeat Kidd's team in the same season.  (Note: You only need to meet and defeat once in the finals. If Jason Kidd does not lead the team to the finals within two years, Zhang Hao will be deemed to have led the team to the finals once; if Kidd leads the team to the finals within two years, it will be deemed complete.  In the season when he led his team to the finals, Zhang Hao failed to lead his team to the finals and was considered a failure.)

    Advanced reward: Designated Medal Quarterback Silver Upgrade Card Fragment*1.  "

    'This medal for instigating a counterattack finally has a chance to be upgraded. I took a look and found that there was already a silver upgrade card fragment. If the advancement goal of this mission is completed, I can be upgraded to the silver level because this is a possibility.  Is it because of the medal that becomes the core of a team's system?  It¡¯s really hard to level up. After several seasons, I finally have the opportunity to level up, but the basic goals are also difficult.

    But there are more difficult ones, pseudo-Kobe time, Peter Pan's physical pool, wolf roar, penalty area dominance let's do it step by step!  No one said that every medal can be upgraded to gold level'

    The media heavily promoted this game, so it was naturally broadcast live.

    While Zhang Hao was thinking wildly, Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Bill Walton came to Zhang Hao with his cameraman.

    "Akers, congratulations on your first triple-double of the new season."

    "Thanks."

    "You don't seem to do as much as you did tonight when you were fighting other opponents. What's the reason?"

    "The reasonmaybe it is to break their confidence."

    "Why? Is it because of the previous grudges?"

    "It has nothing to do with that. I am very grateful that they sent me to a stronger team and allowed me to have a bigger stage."

    "why?"

    "Wai? Lou Wai. I just want to destroy their confidence. I don't need their consent to destroy them, right?"

    ""

    Bill Walton doesn¡¯t want to talk to Zhang Hao anymore, he¡¯s tired.

    ??This is so pretentious that it¡¯s hard to guard against it!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡®What does it have to do with destroying you¡¯

    People feel that they have a deep enough understanding of Zhang Hao's domineering nature.

    Now I realize that before, it was just childish talk.

    Now you are really domineering!

    In less than two months, Zhang Hao will be 25 years old. Now he is considered to have entered the golden period of his career.

    ¡°After playing for 5 years and taking a year off during this period, I have just entered the golden period of my career This is too much!

    And Zhang Hao¡¯s progress every year is an exaggeration!  After returning from a year's rest, many people now think that Zhang Hao compressed two years of progress into one year, and then won the Most Improved Award on the basis of Lianzhuang FMVP.

    The more powerful Zhang Hao becomes, the more domineering he becomes in words and deeds!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 507 507. Change brings madness!  (12,000 words, please vote monthly)

    The SuperSonics defeated the Nets and improved their record to 7 wins and 1 loss.

    Some people feel regretful that the Nets are on the rise and hope to see them defeat the defending champions.

    But people were not surprised when the Nets lost.

    It was Zhang Hao who said before the game, "I hope the Nets will become the strongest team in the Eastern Conference," which helped the Nets create a lot of hatred in the Eastern Conference.

    ¡°Then he said after the game that he wanted to ¡®destroy the confidence of the Nets¡¯¡­ It was really too cruel.

    The 76ers, Bulls, Bucks, Raptorswill these teams stop targeting the Nets because of Zhang Hao's words after the game?

    Of course it¡¯s impossible.

    People once again felt the broad mind of a great gentleman.

    Halfway through the first game month, in the Eastern Conference, the first place is the Bulls with 8 wins and 0 losses, and the second place is the 76ers with 6 wins and 2 losses; in the West, the first team is the SuperSonics with 7 wins and 1 loss, and the second team is the 76ers team with 7 wins and 1 loss.  1 loss to the Lakers.

    At the beginning of the new season, the NBA is still very strong in favoring popular teams. There is definitely a certain tendency to whistle, but it is within the reasonable range of the "star whistle", mainly in terms of schedule.

    The top two teams in the East and West are exactly the ¡®NBA championship seeding teams¡¯ that people complained about when the schedule was announced on September 20.

    In the Lakers¡¯ first eight games, the only opponents predicted to win more than 50 games are the Kings and the 76ers.

    In the 76ers¡¯ first eight games, the only opponent predicted to win more than 50 games is the Lakers.

    In the first eight games of the SuperSonics, the only opponent predicted to win more than 50 games is the Kings.

    In the Bulls¡¯ first eight games, there are no opponents predicted to win more than 50 games

    Iverson, Duncan, and Tracy McGrady are all Mesozoic players, and Kobe Bryant's new generation players are all young. The oldest Iverson is only 26 years old and has just entered the prime period of his career. His support is comparable to the two top powers in the Western Conference.  Bigger.

    But in fact, it¡¯s not much different. In the first half month, the four teams only had one back-to-back, and the strong opponents had two.

    It¡¯s been half a month since I started playing, and I can see something more or less.

    For the Bulls, McGrady started averaging 14.4 points and 10.5 assists per game, ranking second in the league in assists, second only to Jason Kidd, who has averaged 11 assists per game since the start. Kobe Bryant averaged 28.5 points per game, and Malone averaged 21.4 points per game, showing strong performances.

    Olajuwon's performance has frustrated many old fans, and he has also lost money on his mid-level contract. Since the beginning of the game, he has averaged 6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks per game. Although his field goal percentage of 45% is the lowest in his career, all statistics are also the lowest in his career.  , but he can still play as a substitute, but he can't attack well, and he can't carry people after losing weight, but he can defend well with Malone, Malone has the tonnage to support people, and Olajuwon, who has reduced to 110 kilograms and has good mobility, can still play as a power forward.

    Moreover, the Bulls' starting center Brad Miller continues to improve and has become a key support point for the Maddie Malone pick-and-roll combination. He can shoot from beyond the three-point line and has high-post support capabilities Many people feel that he is comparable to Webber,  Garnett!

    In an average of 28 minutes per game, Brad Miller scored 8.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and he was very smart in defense.

    He has a thick body, good defensive skills, has a ball intelligence, can shoot, grab rebounds, and pass the ball He is currently 25 years old, and many teams are already ready to offer Brad Miller a big contract in the summer of 2003.  Steal people.

    ? If Malone¡¯s arrival, McGrady¡¯s adjustment to his playing style, and Kobe¡¯s ability to hold the ball less and shoot in an easier way are the keys to the Bulls becoming a top team.

    So Brad Miller¡¯s progress in the new season is definitely the second key point.

    As the only undefeated team at present, the Bulls' next performance is highly anticipated.

    As for the Lakers, there have been some wonderful changes in the new season.

    Pierce averaged 26.5 points per game and O'Neal averaged 27.5 points per game. Pierce made great progress in the last year of his rookie contract, averaging 3 three-pointers per game in the first 8 games and shooting 41.1% from three-point range.

    But Pierce can't enter the free market, even if the Lakers don't have the right to match him. His four-year contract was signed in June 1998, because Pierce had reached a starting salary of US$10.07 million with the Lakers as early as last season.  The contract renewal totals $80 million per year, and it is renewed according to last season's salary cap.

    Payton is also performing well in the new season, averaging 16 points, 9 assists and 2 steals at the start of the season.

    The three major superstars performed well, but the problem is that the veterans are older

    Especially Richmond, who was acquired by the Lakers and SuperSonics after competing for it, averaged 16 points per game last season. In the first four games of this season, he averaged 24 minutes of playing time per game, scoring only 6 points and shooting 33% from the field.  The shooting percentage was high, and then he was injured in training and it would take two weeks to return.

    Rick Fox had his worst season since joining the Lakers, and Horace Grant was okay and maintained his form.nbsp;In the new season, Iko Kamai has become Iko Kamai.

    Those three brothers all have good results in leading the team, but Carter has a strong team and a mediocre record in leading the team.

    And it's not just Carter and Icome who are affected. In terms of performance this season, no one can be said to be better than the other two. Next to Iverson is Duncan, who has performed better this season. Kobe and Tracy McGrady are among them.  Same team

    David Stern¡¯s decision to support Zhang Hao was based on the results he made, and he felt it was right.

    But still very unwilling

    ??Can¡¯t they have one of their American stars who can play?

    Although in terms of media investment, the SuperSonics spend the most on advertising, the other teams also spend a lot!

    The results of it?

    Zhang Hao¡¯s 1.01 million votes, second-placed Kobe¡¯s 510,000 votes are barely half of Zhang Hao¡¯s!

    But precisely because of this, David Stern could only continue to promote the Sonics with tears in his eyes.

    Think about it, if it weren¡¯t for Zhang Hao¡¯s 1.01 million votes, and the current enthusiasm of fans to vote how ugly would the All-Star voting results this season be?

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    I, Kobe Bryant, will never be weaker than anyone else in my life!

    Kobe really wanted to shout this sentence.

    However, after finally becoming the Eastern Conference All-Star vote king at one stage, there was a gap of 494,358 votes compared to the guy opposite!

    The difference in votes between the two exceeded Jordan's 480,000 votes, which received the third highest number of votes.

    There¡¯s no way to compare with this. Looking at Zhang Hao across from him, Kobe wanted to compare with something else.

    Compared with others, in the past three games, the Sonics have 2 wins and 1 loss, and their record has become 25 wins and 10 losses. The Bulls are currently 27 wins and 8 losses, which is a slight victory.

    But the data vary greatly

    Kobe has played in all 35 games so far this season, averaging 28.4 points per game, while his opponent averaged 36.8 points per game!  After entering the new year, Zhang Hao has scored 40+ points in a single game once again, and has already scored 40+ points in a single game 11 times!

    ¡®He has Jordan by his side. If I have Jordan by my side to act as a check ahem, I seem to have Malone

    So he also has Cassel and Ben Wallacewell, I seem to have Tracy

    He also has ArtestI also have Brad Miller

    He, he, hefuck!  ¡¯

    The more Kobe thinks about it, the more wrong he becomes. In comparison, Kobe's "ability to use teammates to contain and score" that he is proud of this year is far behind Zhang Hao!

    At 6:40 in the evening on the 7th, at Seattle Key Arena, players from the visiting Bulls and home SuperSonics teams had already entered the stadium.

    There is a rare game on Zhang Hao¡¯s birthday. This is the first time in the three seasons since Zhang Hao joined. The league now even misses the ¡®birthday game¡¯.

    More than 17,000 people at the scene shouted "Happy Birthday" together. Zhang Hao felt very happy and enjoyed this moment.

    On the other side, Tracy McGrady wanted to go over and say "Happy Birthday" to Zhang Hao, but was held back by the envious and jealous Kobe.

    Kobe hates it so much - 'Why is my birthday in August?  Why?  ¡¯

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 508 508. Who is more unreasonable than the other (10,000 words, please vote for me!)

    After the simple birthday celebration before the game, the league staff came to him and motioned him to the middle of the court.

    Jordan, Malone, and Olajuwon are gone.

    ¡®They are all big stars¡¯

    Zhang Hao and three ¡®big stars¡¯ stood together for a photo.

    No more than 5 years ago, it is already rare for a team to have two 'big stars'. Last season, there were only two teams of Pippen and Olajuwon of the Rockets, and Stockton and Malone of the Jazz.  , this season, the loss is Zhang Hao, otherwise he would have beaten the two veterans of the Bulls.

    Zhang Hao enjoyed feeling the envy and hatred in the little blacksmith's eyes.

    Kobe himself finally focused his jealousy on "more than 17,000 people shouting happy birthday". Zhang Hao knew that Kobe was actually mainly because of scoring.

    Oh, now there is an additional title of ¡®Big Star¡¯.

    Among the three current players who were selected to the first team in their rookie seasons, Kobe has not yet been selected as a "big star".

    Last season, Zhang had more advantages against Kobe, including lineup and record but his scoring average was not as high as Kobe's. Kobe's mood on the court was just hostility.

    But now, on the court, Kobe is obviously jealous.

    Regarding the fact that the score soared so much, Zhang Hao's personal aspectit was necessary at first, but it became necessary later.

    There are slight differences between the two.

    In the early stages of the season, the Sonics had to maintain their record in the initial running-in period. There were actually many ways. Zhang Hao chose the one that would put the least pressure on his teammates - he would score points.

    This is Zhang Hao¡¯s consciousness as a leader, he must do that.

    But in fact, it is not a necessary choice. There are many choices, but he chose the method he likes the most relatively speaking.

    Because this is a clear and feasible way, there may be a better one, but if the better one will be more troublesome, then it is better to follow what he wants.

    This is what he thinks must be done.

    By the middle of the season, after the Christmas game, things were a little different.

    In the past 6 games, Zhang Hao scored 40 points twice. His performance was not as fierce as before the Christmas game in December, and he did not intend to compete from the beginning.

    But now, he still has to maintain a high shot in regular time, and he has to work hard to maintain a high hit rate.

    And this has become a necessity for their team.

    Because teammates are used to it.

    If not, you will have to choose a new team coordination method, or switch Jordan back to the main attack in regular time.

    Zhang Hao has learned some experience. Sometimes, he may really need to try more troublesome things.

    Of course, if he is asked to bear such a responsibility and it is a necessary choice for the team to play like this, then he will not refuse.

    At least this time it was a transition from necessity to necessity. It was actually quite good. Although Jordan averaged only 17 points per game this season, it was actually a good idea to concentrate Jordan's relatively large decline in physical strength into a clearer time frame.  A way to continue Jordan's offensive efficiency from last season.

    If Jordan had to play like he did last season, the SuperSonics' opening record would not be 25 wins and 10 losses, with a winning rate of more than 70%. It would probably be a little bit worse. At most, it would be the same as the 76ers who are aging and have serious salary conflicts this season.  The teams have similar records.

    age¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao feels that he should enjoy his career in the next ten years!

    First of all, enjoy the next game.

    "Kobe Bryant, 23 years old, 198 cm, 96 kg, ability evaluation 98, offense 97, defense 98averaged 28.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 steals per gameshooting rate 47.4%, three-point shooting rate 37.9  %¡­¡­¡±

    ¡®This is Kobe¡¯s most perfect form, right?  Is it because you played in college for three years and perfected your skills before entering the NBA?  After all, he originally had very little playing time in the first two years after entering the NBA and did not exercise enough. Although there was a lot of training, training alone was not enough.

    There are also good teammates such as Tracy McGrady, Malone, and Miller who can pass the ball to him and relieve him of almost all the need to organize offense

    The combination of the two gave birth to such a Kobe?

    According to the scouting report, Kobe still occasionally loses his composure, but the frequency is much lower than in the past two years. He averaged 9 of 19 shots per game'

    There is a saying, Zhang Hao believes that this is the strongest shooting guard he has ever seen since Jordan, who played three consecutive games.

    That's right

    ¡®Where is the promise that the body will be disabled but the mind will be strong?  91 strength, 93 speed, 95 jumping, 97 flexibility, 105 physical strength If you gain another four or five kilograms, Xiao Ma Long will beQi Qi had one foot dangling in the air, and jumped with the other foot. Pressing up turned into jumping back, right under the basket!

    Zhang Hao took off before Malone could get back in place and smashed the ball into the basket through Radmanovic!

    "Kobe time (bronze), instruction execution progress (23)"

    67 to 70, the point difference is still three points!

    Compared with the first two three-pointers, Zhang Hao's dunk caused more negative emotions among the Bulls players!

    Bullying a rookie is a bit too harsh!

    Hong Guoguo¡¯s humiliating style of play could obviously be dunked directly, but Zhang Hao chose such a humiliating dunk.

    This time when the Bulls attacked, Kobe lost his composure and reached for the ball with McGrady. Jamal Crawford gave it to Kobe. Kobe was so anxious that he singled out Kirilenko and threw it without creating a good shooting angle.  , miss!

    Fortunately, Malone poked the ball out of bounds and did not give Zhang Hao, who recovered it, a chance to grab the board and counterattack.

    The Sonics continued to attack. McGrady didn't want to restrict Zhang Hao from playing alone outside the three-point line, so he just played one-on-one, as he liked.

    Zhang Hao received the ball after a pick-and-roll. This time, he chose to break through. Tracy McGrady followed closely, and Kobe Bryant's double attack also came, but Zhang Hao got excited, stepped back, and took a long two-point shot

    The ball was lost, but it went in!

    "Kobe time (bronze), instruction execution progress (33), prerequisites have been completed, and the wearing player Zhang Hao must be in a hot state of offense in the next three rounds, as long as the shot is not blocked or he does not encounter a foul that prevents him from completing the shot.  , can obtain substantial compensation for their efforts"

    At 6 minutes and 11 seconds in the third quarter, 69 to 70, the point difference narrowed to 1 point, Larry Brown called a timeout and entered the official timeout stage!

    In 6 minutes and 11 seconds, the Bulls scored 16 points. It can be said that they played as well as they could.

    Only two people on the Supersonic side scored, Parker scored 2 points, but Zhang Hao scored 13 points!

    This is actually going to be overtaken. Kobe and Tracy McGrady next to Zhang Hao had countless "watts" in their hearts.

    The voice came againthis time the feeling of frivolity was even greater. In addition to frivolity, Maddie also heard an emotion called disappointment.

    "Can't even you guys guard me? It seems that the only way is to give the 76ers a try"

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 509 509. Another crazy birthday night!  (Ten thousand words, please vote for me!)

    Entering the timeout, after hearing Zhang Hao's words, Kobe immediately turned around and shouted: "You haven't overtaken the score yet!"

    "Is there a difference?"

    "have!"

    "real?"

    "real!"

    "you sure!"

    "I am sure!"

    Seeing that the two were quarreling, McGrady wanted to start a fight. By the way but Zhang Hao suddenly turned around and left left left.

    After a long time, McGrady looked back, and the figure on the other side still made him sad.

    Zhang Hao is really speechless with Kobe's trash talk vocabulary, just like a repeater.

    Is this the nature of human beings?

    Zhang Hao¡¯s teammates were very excited - Mom, I saw God again!

    Zhang Hao quickly reviewed it. The most important thing about the 13 points he scored was the two three-pointers made against the defense. Otherwise, the smooth cut to the basket and the easy singles breakthrough just now were retreating.  Jump shots won't be that easy.

    "It's convenient to be tall, but it doesn't matter now"

    Doug Collins sent a combination of Parker, Dell Curry, Zhang Hao, Ben Wallace, and Tyson Chandler.

    This lineup will not be very defensive, but according to Article 23 of the Sonics¡¯ unwritten team rules:

    During the game, when Zhang Hao feels good and hits consecutive hits, he needs to put the ball in Zhang Hao's hands at all costs, make substitutions if possible, and send out players with the ability to rush and counterattack.

    Everyone thinks there is nothing wrong with this substitution.

    Based on the Bulls' performance from the last 3 minutes of the second quarter to the past 6 minutes or so, the coaching staff decisively chose to send a more stable lineup to support Zhang Hao.

    ¡­¡­

    ?The official end, players from both teams come on the court, and the Bulls attack.

    The Bulls rotated and sent out a combination of Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Ron Mercer, Malone, and Brad Miller.

    Zhang Hao stood next to Kobe after he came on the field and asked: "Kobe, have you passed the master's degree?"

    "What? Only you are allowed to take the exam?"

    "Have you ever heard of the term dimensionality reduction attack?"

    "What do you meanfuc! Finish talking!"

    Kobe is so angry - Tracy, can't you advance a little slower?

    Zhang Hao quickly moved to the top arc area after McGrady passed the center circle, preparing to defend.

    McGrady and Malone picked and rolled, Brad Miller caught the ball on the left side of the free throw line, faked a fax shot, and hit a two-pointer!

    The SuperSonics' defensive direction is very clear. Zhang Hao, Ben Wallace, and Tyson Chandler tried their best to block the impact of McGrady and Malone on the pick-and-roll, and tried their best to pursue Kobe's catch and shoot. The Bulls' role players were in the high post area.  And the chances in the middle are not so well defended.

    In the first half, Kobe, McGrady, and Malone combined for 27 points, and the role players also scored 27 points. The role players also seized their opportunities well.

    When the SuperSonics attack, Zhang Hao receives the serve and advances by himself.

    Good luck, quite good. Only if two three-pointers made purely by touch can be scored, and then the jump shots that come after cutting into the frame, breaking through and connecting with the step-back, can we have such a good opportunity.

    Now, Zhang Hao really wants to shout - who else!

    Advancing to the frontcourt, when he was more than one meter away from the three-point line, Zhang Hao suddenly accelerated and took a step forward. Tracy McGrady subconsciously took half a step back.

    The first goal is to stick to Zhang Hao, interfere with Zhang Hao's take-off, and use the bounce to affect Zhang Hao's shooting angle. However, if Zhang Hao accelerates like this, Tracy McGrady will still retreat, interfering with Zhang Hao's emergency stop jump shot But!

    Zhang Hao took just one step and came to an emergency stop outside the top arc three-point line!

    McGrady¡¯s physical fitness is strong, he immediately pressed back and jumped with all his strength.

    McGrady felt that it would be difficult for even Zhang Hao to score this shot. It was completely out of rhythm No!

    McGrady stretched his arms upward and took off. He saw that Zhang Hao, who took off almost at the same time, was using his force in the air very smoothly and coherently!

    Zhang Hao took off towards McGrady and stretched his arms straight upward. McGrady had no chance to block the shot.

    Zhang Hao exerted force on his shoulders and wrists and threw the ball towards the basket and made a hollow hit!

    72 square meters!

    After the official timeout, the Sonics made their first attack, and Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer!

    16 points in a single quarter!  Zhang Hao's personal score increased to 36 points in this game!

    There was another series of ¡®watts¡¯ in McGrady¡¯s head.

    You can enter here too!

    ??In transition between offense and defense, defender Kobe Bryant receives the serve and advances to ?3 points. George McLeod, a super three-point shooter who only existed in the era of shortened three-point lines, made 10 three-pointers in a single game.

    The other two times, one was in the 1992-93 season, when Brian Shaw, who was still playing for the Heat, became the first player in NBA history to make 10 three-pointers in a single game.

    The most recent time was last season. Ray Allen made everyone aware of his three-point ability in a game. He scored 10 three-pointers in a single game against the Hornets.

    Now, Zhang Hao has also entered the 10+ three-pointers club in a single game!

    Those few are all shooting guards or small forwards, but when it comes to Zhang Hao

    Everyone has seen it, even Sonics fans have to admit that the third quarter should have been the period when the Bulls broke out and defeated the Sonics.

    But Zhang Hao single-handedly defeated the Bulls, and the third quarter became a quarter where the Sonics established a clear lead.

    Because of what happened later, Sonics fans are willing to admit this

    When the team was about to collapse, Zhang Hao stood up and responded with the Bulls' scoring method that kicked off the crazy attack - three-pointers!

    A commentator who did not want to be named and weighed more than 140 kilograms stood on the commentary table again after the Sonics won - "Why can't Plan B team think about it? Thank them for not thinking about it and letting us see the greatest three-pointer in history."  Performance!"

    "Charles, someone made 11 three-pointers"

    "Is he as tall as a gentleman?"

    "Can it still be compared like this?"

    On this side of the court, after the final whistle sounded, some people on the scene were shouting "mvp" crazily, some were shouting "happy birthday", and some were shouting "thank you"

    Gradually, the cheers of the fans at the scene unified and turned into "Thank you, mvp, happy birthday."

    Kobe listened to the voices of the fans and watched himself score 41 points on 15 of 30 shots 'What do I need these 41 points for?  ¡¯

    That guy¡¯s touch is amazing!

    Zhang Hao also felt that he felt extremely good tonight. He was just giving it a try, but he also felt that it was very dangerous at the time.

    But after a three-pointer was scored, Zhang Hao decisively initiated the "Kobe Time" command.

    To use "Kobe Time", you have to choose the time when the opportunity is best, but occasionally there are times when it must be used immediately.

    Failure is actually the majority of cases, but this time the blog was successful!

 Chapter 510 510. Where should James go?  (9500 words please vote monthly)

    The live broadcast of the game on Zhang Hao¡¯s birthday night was well received, with more than 14 million paid views.

    After this game, Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring average increased to 37.3 points per game.

    The media has broken down Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring performance in the new season as of the day when Zhang Hao turns 25.

    It is the 11th time to score 40+ in a single game, and also the 4th time to score 50+ in a single game.

    The number of 40+ times in a single game is very close to the career-high 14 times of 40+ in a single game in a single season. It may even be achieved before the All-Star Weekend.

    50+ times in a single gamehas tied the career high!

    The media considers players who can score 50+ points in a single game at least five times in a single season.

    Chamberlain had 50+ points in a single game 45 times in one season, 50+ points in a single game 30 times in one season, 50+ points in a single game 9 times in two seasons, 50+ points in a single game 8 times in one season, and 50+ points in a single game 6 times in one season.  50+.

    In the past six seasons, Chamberlain has, without exception, averaged 35+ points per game and almost full attendance. This was also the six seasons in which Chamberlain averaged the highest points per game.

    Jordan had 50+ points in a single game 8 times in one season and 50+ points in 5 games in a single season once. In these two seasons, he also averaged at least 35 points per game and was almost full attendance.

    Rick Barry had 50+ points in a single game five times in one season, and Elgin Baylor had 50+ points in a single game five times in one season.

    In the history of NBA, this happened only 10 times.

    The Boston Post gave a prediction - we have no doubt that Akers can get 50+ points in a single game for the fifth time. We believe that Akers can reach the third place in history with 50+ points in a single game this season.

    The American cable TV station is the most interesting. They posted the data from Zhang Hao¡¯s only two birthday night games.

    The league only arranged two games on Zhang Hao's birthday night. One was during Zhang Hao's rookie season. It was a coincidence that on January 7, 1996, Zhang Hao returned to Madison Square Garden to play for the first time in his rookie season because the Knicks did not  For tickets, Zhang Hao scored 60 points in three quarters and had a triple-double by the way.

    Five years later, this season, when the league is doing everything possible to create buzz, Zhang Hao played a game on his birthday night for the second time. This time at home, he scored 25 points in the third quarter and 56 points in a single game.

    The commentator of the American cable TV station commented: I hope the league can arrange more games on Akers birthday in the future. It is best to come to New York to play away games. It is best that the Knicks do not send game tickets to Akers every time.

    Former Knicks star Willis Reed, a guest commentator on American cable television, also joked that the Sonics' coffee shop owner really doesn't know how to run an NBA team, and Zhang Hao actually gave Zhang Hao and his family so much on his birthday.  Tickets.

    It is worth mentioning that the owner of the American cable TV station is the same person as the owner of the Knicks.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    It felt so good on his birthday night that Zhang Hao had the idea of ??celebrating his hundredth birthday in a season.

    "It's a pity that he is not Mutombo. He remembers his birthday.

    Early the morning after his birthday, Zhang Hao set off for Cleveland with the team.

    The teammates were in a good mood heading into the away game. They have played 36 games and have a record of 26 wins and 10 losses, which is not bad overall.

    Arriving at the hotel in Cleveland, after lunch, Jordan gathered his teammates together again.

    This time we are not talking about tomorrow¡¯s game against the Cavaliers.

    The Cavaliers are very special. They are a team that is extremely talented but many of the talents don¡¯t even have a completely defined style.

    This season the Cavaliers are quite different from last season, and tomorrow¡¯s game may be difficult.

    In terms of emphasis, the Sonics have it, but against opponents like the Cavaliers, the Sonics simply want to win the game. It's very simple. They don't have as many thoughts as against ordinary playoff teams in the Western Conference.

    No one thinks the Cavaliers can reach the Finals, not even the Sonics.

    If the Cavaliers can really reach the finals, the Sonics players would rather sacrifice the two games against the Cavaliers in the regular season

    But playing away games and getting together to chat in the afternoon after arriving in the next city has become a habit developed by the Sonics this season.

    Since we are together, we need to talk about something.

    What everyone is discussing this time is the remaining games before the All-Star Weekend.

    Starting from tomorrow, January 9th, to February 6th, which is the last game day before the All-Star Weekend, there are 15 games to be played in 29 days. The schedule is not particularly tight, but it is not easy either.

    The main reason is that the opponent is quite strong.

    Tomorrow we will play the Cavaliers to start a 4-game away streak.

    The opponents are the Cavaliers, Bucks, Hornets, and 76ers.

    Currently, the Eastern Conference rankings include Bulls, Nets, 76ers, Cavaliers, Bucks, Raptors, and PacersIf Zhang Hao follows the tactical flow, it will be much easier.

    ??Catch the ball from the high post on the right side of the three-second zone, play with his back, turn around, and step back George Lynch took a slow beat, and with an obvious beat, Zhang Hao made a step-back mid-range shot!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s back-turning and retreating skills are getting stronger and stronger, and he has made very good use of the bonus of the Silver-level ¡®Retreating Expert¡¯.

    But it was so easy to beat George Lynch. It was much easier than last year's finals. The reason lies more in the defender George Lynch.

    31-year-old George Lynch has collapsed too obviously compared to last season.

    203 centimeters tall, with a wingspan of 218 centimeters, a weight of 100 kilograms, and top-notch athletic ability. As a forward defender, George Lynch was really fierce before his athletic ability declined.

    But the defensive method that relies heavily on physical fitness is far less sustainable than Bowen, Doug Christie, and Lagar Bell on the 76ers bench.

    In fact, George Lynch's athletic ability has not declined much compared to last season, but there has been a significant decline, and the changes on the defensive end are particularly prominent.

    At the age of 31, if George Lynch were to use his excellent static physical condition to defend, he would not be able to do it.

    In addition, he has two championship rings and a six-year, 30 million pension contract When playing games, George Lynch's competitive spirit and enthusiasm will not slack off, and training is no problem, but if he has to work hard to change his playing style, there is no such thing.  Energetic.

    When the 76ers attack, Iverson continues to go to the baseline and press Zhang Hao from the top arc to the bottom line, freeing up space in the high post to support and distribute the ball.

    After Duncan set up an off-ball pick-and-roll for Matt Halprin, he was double-teamed by Jordan and Artest.

    Matt Halprin received the ball one step outside the free throw line, broke through in the middle, faced Cassel's defense, and threw a big step inside the free throw line

    Didn¡¯t score, but the tactics worked.

    Matt Halprin's touch was only affected by the confrontation with Jordan just now. Cassel's cover defense did not have such a big impact on Matt Halprin. With this style of play, Matt Halprin broke through and was close to the basket.  , and can also have enough distance to avoid Zhang Hao's defense.

    The Sonics offense.

    Zhang Hao went to the frontcourt and encountered Duncan's defense.

    Duncan's cover defense is difficult to cover the mid-range. He is not as good as Garnett, but the two are a good match.

    Zhang Hao received the ball, turned around, retreated, and withdrew from the three-point line. He further pulled Duncan out and reduced the power of Duncan's shrinking defense. Then, he crossed the step and changed direction to break through!

    The fans at the scene just wanted to hit someone.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s breakthrough is the same as Iverson¡¯s!

    "Two meters of Ai can't even describe Zhang Hao, this is two metersAi!"

    George Lynch knows Zhang Hao¡¯s breakthrough habits very well, and formed a pincer attack with Duncan in a timely and in place manner.

    Zhang Hao can no longer be guarded alone, but George Lynch can still supplement defense and help. He can also be used as a short power forward due to his height and weight. However, with Duncan on the 76ers, George Lynch's physical fitness has declined.  The defensive efficiency of the power forward can be maintained, but it will not be of much use to the 76ers.

    But playing against the Sonics, as Hubie Brown expected, can still be of great use.

    This time Hubie Brown¡¯s lineup adjustment is quite effective.

    Zhang Hao was not greedy for success. After attracting a double attack from deep, he distributed the ball to Artest who cut in at the right time.

    Duncan decisively switched to defend Zhang Hao and chose to believe in Mutombo.

    Mutombo responded positively, arrived at the right position in time, poked Artest's layup, and completed the block!

    The ball was redirected by Mutombo's fingers and hit the backboard.

    Fortunately, Ben Wallace grabbed the offensive rebound, quickly pulled it up, and smashed the ball into the basket with a 'clang' sound from Mutombo.

    Ben Wallace glanced at Mutombo after landing, his eyes as wide as bells

    Mutombo was about to say a few words Ben Wallace turned around and left after glaring He learned bad things from a certain high school player No. 24 who did not want to be named!

    Ben Wallace, who averaged 32 minutes per game this season, scored 6.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 3.4 blocks, and his defensive efficiency was an incredible 8.4!

    The last player with such a defensive efficiency was Mutombo.

    The next one is Olajuwon at his peak.

    Last season¡¯s first defense center and second defense center met, and both of them disliked each other!

 Chapter 511 511. Competitive sports, winner takes all!  (12,000 words, please vote monthly)

    Sometimes, changes in the relationship between two people do not require too much interaction between the two.

    Ben Wallace and Mutombo have almost never met except for playing games.

    But since the regular season last season, the relationship between the two has gradually turned hostile without seeing each other very often or even playing against each other twice.

    Because after the 26-year-old Ben Wallace entered the prime period of his career last season, his defensive performance improved rapidly.

    In the finals, although limited by his size, Ben Wallace could not become a mountain under the basket like Mutombo, but he used his way to perform a defensive performance that was not weaker than Mutombo.

    This season, after turning 27 years old, Ben Wallace has played a defensive performance that is only 0.1 lower than Mutombo's peak defensive season.

    Some experts said that if the Sonics' back line had not been able to defend well as a substitute, which hindered Ben Wallace during the rotation, Ben Wallace would have even been able to hit Olajuwon's career peak defensive efficiency of 8.7 this season.  .

    As two players with similar roles in general, even if their peak periods are different, the two have become enemies who want to fight to the death when they meet.

    In the opening stage of the game between the Sonics and the 76ers, the key player for the Sonics was not Jordan's support, Cassell's distribution, or Zhang Hao's singles; the key player for the 76ers was not Iverson's breakthrough.  Compressed defense, Matt Halprin's steady ball handling, and Duncan's genius scoring.

    It¡¯s about how much contribution Ben Wallace and Mutombo can make!

    In terms of star duel, although Duncan¡¯s shooting percentage is not high, can you believe that it is Duncan who takes the ball for the 76ers?

    The reason is that Duncan has a very good sense of positional movement. How high is his golf IQ?  How much concentration is too strong?  Even if there are only 3 seconds left in the attack time, he will actively move to find the best passing and receiving line with the teammate currently holding the ball in case of emergency, even if it only happens once in 10 rounds or even 20 rounds.  function, he will also keep moving like this silently.

    It¡¯s just that Duncan¡¯s ability to throw and catch the ball is indeed poor, but he at least gave his teammates a passing option when forced to do so, reducing the team¡¯s mistakes.

    There is another reason. Duncan is tall. Iverson likes to throw and catch the ball, but if his teammates need someone to catch the ball, it is difficult to see where Iverson is.

    There is no doubt about Iverson's scoring ability.

    Both of these two players are in the prime of their careers and are as strong as Zhang Hao, Jordan, and Cassell. When facing them head-on, it is difficult to gain the upper hand.

    The defensive adjustments made by the two teams tonight based on the opponent's offense resulted in key points on both sides - the frame protection leader Mutombo and the defense leader Ben Wallace!

    Mutombo played very hard tonight. His elusive age did not seem to hinder his performance on this night.

    Indeed, in a head-to-head confrontation, Ben Wallace suffers from his size. When he needs to cover an area, Ben Wallace cannot do it alone like Mutombo.

    But youth is your greatest asset.

    When the offenses of both teams finally returned to the line, Mutombo did not do as well as Ben Wallace in the rebounding competition!

    The game was very tense. Neither team made any substitutions in the first quarter, not wanting the other team to seize the opportunity to take a clear lead.

    But Ben Wallace scored 6 points in the first quarter!  Mutombo only scored 2 points in the first quarter!

    Mutombo¡¯s 2 points were Iverson¡¯s through ball, and Mutombo took the cake.

    Mutombo actually had two opportunities to eat in this quarter, but once was blocked by Zhang Hao, and he also grabbed an offensive rebound, which was swooped out of bounds by Ben Wallace.

    After the first quarter, the SuperSonics led the 76ers by 3 points, 26-23!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao is a little happy now, the game is very intense.

    The opponent was obviously very well prepared and used a different starting lineup tonight than when they usually play against other teams.

    There are also many preparations for defense. For example, George Lynch defended Zhang Hao for one round, and then decisively switched to Duncan to defend and George Lynch to assist.

    Mutombo protected the rim alone and did better than expected. I thought that although Ben Wallace's rim protection was not top-notch, at Mutombo's age, Ben Wallace could at least compete. The actual situation  Not so.

    But there are many changes brought about by age that cannot be stopped. For example, Cassel directed Zhang Hao to link up Artest to attack the basket. Mutombo can cover this, but there are few restrictions on Ben Wallace.  A lot.

    This would not have happened with Mutombo last season.

    For example, the performance of Iverson and Duncan on the offensive endEfforts to double the expected number of votes!

    When the media conducted street interviews, two-thirds of the fans said they were willing to come out to vote because they wanted to vote for Zhang Hao.

    The number of interviewees is not large, but it can already explain some problems.

    Wang Zhizhi was once again selected as the All-Star starter and once again aroused heated discussion.

    Wang Zhizhi really deserves to be an All-Star this season, even if he is only at the All-Star level, he really deserves it this season.

    Averaging 14 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, averaging a double-double for the first time in his career!

    Stable mid-range and long-range shooting, good short-range singles ability, above the standard in facing the basket and behind the basket, with online defensive awareness, he can make quite good contributions under Adelman's defensive system, maintaining a weight of 113 kilograms  , I can¡¯t say how strong the defense is, but it wins in all aspects.

    Can overwhelm O'Neal

    O'Neal jumped out again - 'I want to beat Duncan!  ¡¯

    Heat will bring higher heat.

    When fans saw Zhang Hao¡¯s 2.79 million votes, they felt that the NBA is still hot this year and there will always be some people attracted to it.

    This was the case in the middle of the voting. After the voting results were announced, this trend became more and more obvious.

    In addition, as the All-Star Weekend approaches, another thing about the Sonics has also aroused heated discussion - the selection of the Sonics' 15th man roster.

    ?Similar to last season, the SuperSonics also had 14 players in the first half of the season last season. Corey Benjamin did not play last season.

    With a candidate for the 15th man behind, Corey Benjamin retired on the spot to make room.

    This year, the Sonics did not sign a 15th man hastily, and veterans did not pursue it.

    ? ?Obviously, he is ¡®inspecting¡¯ the veteran.

    And I¡¯m not afraid that no one will come.

    On the afternoon of February 1st, the SuperSonics informed the Mavericks that they rejected Tim Hardaway¡¯s request for a long-term contract with a basic salary to make up for the buyout losses.

    This is normal. To get in touch with Tim Hardaway, first of all, Tim Hardaway has to take the initiative to join and negotiate with the Mavericks. After getting permission, he will discuss how to buy out with the Mavericks and SuperSonics.

    The Mavericks didn¡¯t want to assist the Sonics, but Cuban was friendly and agreed to let Tim Hardaway go as long as he gave up his mid-level salary for the remaining 30 games.

    Tim Hardaway can naturally also make a request to join.

    Being rejected is not a particularly embarrassing thing. After all, the requirements are not low. It may occupy space or a team spot.

    But Mark Cuban¡¯s confidentiality work is notoriously bad!

    The three-way negotiation between the SuperSonics, the Mavericks and Tim Hardaway broke down, and was exposed by a "source" within the Mavericks team.

    This sparked heated discussions among the media and fans.

    ? But this has no impact on the Sonics.

    On the morning of February 2, the Nuggets announced that they had completed the buyout with Avery Johnson. Avery Johnson would give up the remaining salary of this season. Naturally, part of Avery Johnson's guaranteed contract next season will also be given up.  Actually, it is not a particularly high salary in the NBA. Next season is guaranteed to be US$800,000. Avery Johnson¡¯s salary this season is US$3.2 million. He has not played in the remaining 33 games and gave up the remaining US$1.2 million.  Knife salary.

    This news, combined with what happened with the Mavericks yesterday, has once again triggered heated discussions.

    Soon, in the afternoon, the SuperSonics officially announced that they would sign veteran guard Avery Johnson, who averaged 5.1 assists per game this season and has an assist-to-turnover ratio of more than 4 this season, under a special veteran minimum salary exception!

    With common hobbies, or similar goals or similar current goals, two people who have just met can also chat together.

    ?This is the case with Zhang Hao and Avery Johnson.

    On the afternoon of the 2nd, Avery Johnson, who joined the SuperSonics, had a formal trial training before officially signing the contract. Zhang Hao went to watch the trial of this steady man with the highest assist-to-turnover ratio among players who averaged more than 5 assists per game this season.  training.

    Avery Johnson knows what he is being valued for.

    One is that it doesn¡¯t cost money.

    This is very important. The SuperSonics already have $1.9 million in salary space in the next two seasons, which is occupied by the retired Mookie Blakelow, and Tim Hardaway joins. If they really win the championship this year, they will have a salary space of $1.9 million in the next two years.  There is also a minimum salary contract available, and he may retire in place. This year's special minimum salary for an 11-year veteran is $1.06 million. In this case, the Sonics will have $2.96 million in unused space in the next two years.

    This is the only reason not to choose Tim Hardaway.

    The most important thing is his passing ability.

    The Sonics' starting lineup has strong offense, strong defense, and strong passing This season, the five starters have started together. When they rarely fall behind, even if the opponent's tactics are excellent and the state is in great shape, the five starters basically have the advantage.

    But the SuperSonics' rotation this year is not bad from Avery Johnson's perspective.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that everything is a bit worse compared to last season.

    The defensive ability is a bit worse, the scoring comprehensiveness is a bit worse, and the ability to organize offense is a bit worse.

    There is no way to defend, you need someone to defend, and someone needs to have experience

    But the scoring comprehensiveness and offensive organization ability of the bench lineup can be improved.

    For example, if one of Cassel, Jordan, and Zhang Hao leads the bench, the offense of the bench can be fine.

    But if all three of them rest, it will be bleak. Of course, it will not be bad, but Parker basically relies on sudden points to organize the offense. His passing accuracy is very good, but his experience in organizing offense and his ability to utilize tactics are not very good.

    Kirilenko¡¯s basic passing skills need to be improved.

    Dell Curry, Dan Marley, and Ewing are too old to attract defenses.

    Basically, the only one who can really connect the offense in the bench lineup is Anthony Mason Jr.

    And Anthony Mason Jr. is often in a dilemma without the cooperation of outside organizers.

    The Sonics have a solution. It can be solved by keeping one of the three players with strong offensive abilities in the starting lineup on the court.

    But if it can be solved better

    This is why the Sonics finally selected him and Tim Hardaway!

    Therefore, when Tim Hardaway was in trial training, he focused on the display of organizing offense.

    Show your basic passing skills!

    Being able to play in the NBA for so long, Avery Johnson is strong in this aspect. Just looking at the most basic passing skills, perhaps only Stockton and Kidd in the entire league can rival Avery Johnson.

    The control of passing accuracy can be accurate to the point where the error can be calculated in centimeters.

    The control of passing speed can be accurate enough to calculate the error in milliseconds.

    For other point guards, if they play 14 seasons and have an assist-to-turnover ratio of more than 3 times in 4-5 seasons, the adjective "stable" can be added to their career evaluation.

    But Avery Johnson¡¯s career assist-to-turnover ratio is above 3 to 1!  So far in his career, he has averaged 5.9 assists and 1.8 turnovers per game!

    Not only Zhang Hao was onlookers, but also some teammates came to watch Avery Johnson¡¯s trial training. The test of basic passing skills can be described as breathtaking!

    In addition, although Avery Johnson has almost no shooting ability beyond the free throw line, his jump shots from the free throw line to close range are very accurate. So far in his career, he has averaged 9.1 points per game and his overall field goal percentage is 48.1%.

    ? It can be analyzed from Avery Johnson's playing style that Avery Johnson is very good in receiving shots from mid- to short-range.

    Although he is far less famous than Tim Hardaway and does not have as many honors as Tim Hardaway, Avery Johnson is still a well-known player.

    The teammates had expectations, and seeing Avery Johnson¡¯s excellent basic skills, they all recognized Avery Johnson¡¯s performance.

    After the trial training, Avery Johnson officially completed the signing and joined the SuperSonics.

    Avery Johnson has joined and will not participate in the game for the time being. He has to wait until after the All-Star weekend. He has to memorize the tactics first, and then serve as a sparring partner in tomorrow's pre-game preparations, and in the game against the Lakers.Passing the ball, Zhang Hao received the ball in one step inside the three-point line in the right corner, stepped out with his left foot, turned over, took off from outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and shot a straight-arm three-pointer

    Give it a try, make this three-pointer, and everything will be easy.

    If you don¡¯t advance, it will be difficult.

    But when Zhang Hao turned over and took off, the system prompt came!

    "The King of Turnover and Jump Shot (Gold) is triggered. When the player Zhang Hao catches the ball and turns over for a jump shot, the bounce is +5, ignoring the impact on the take-off and balance caused by turning over"

    One-third probability, the bet is won!

    Zhang Hao jumped to the extreme and made a straight-arm three-pointer to avoid O'Neal who jumped out to an astonishing height!

    And the excellent touch of 13 of 24 shots is still there!

    The ball flew over O'Neal's head and plunged into the basket!

    here we go again!

    O¡¯Neal really wasn¡¯t surprised at this moment.

    When the SuperSonics served, Zhang Hao began to move without the ball, and it was not a movement without the ball for the purpose of receiving the serve. O'Neal had already concluded that Zhang Hao had to shoot the ball anyway. After the SuperSonics released the ball,  O'Neal immediately chased after Zhang Hao, who was using Ben Wallace to pick and roll without the ball.

    In the end, I still couldn¡¯t prevent it.

    But O¡¯Neal¡¯s defense this time also surprised Zhang Hao.

    It is really troublesome for the opponent team to have a player who is too familiar with itself.

    Just like the 76ers, George Lynch is already a substitute for Hubie Brown in normal games, but when playing against the Sonics, George Lynch is the main force!

    After landing, Zhang Hao quickly retreated. This three-pointer was very important. At least it would not let them fall behind by 10 points in the next defense.

    But this is just the beginning of the counterattack!

 Chapter 513 513. He is laughing!  (Please vote for 15,000 words!)

    With Zhang Hao¡¯s three-pointer, Lakers players and fans seemed to hear a familiar counterattack call.

    For a moment, the fans at the scene were stunned, but they immediately came to their senses and booed first. When Fisher received the serve and advanced towards the front court, they immediately turned into cheers.

    Zhang Hao scored 38 points and will soon score 40+ points in a single game. In terms of personal scoring alone, the Lakers players and fans at the scene do not care.

    Winning the game is the most important thing.

    Zhang Hao got a high score, which will definitely be a sensation.

    However, with the Raptors¡¯ 86 points and the Bulls¡¯ 76ers, no matter how many points Zhang Hao scores for other teams, at least they won¡¯t be the one being laughed at.

    Zhang Hao's high score was very sensational, and it is already a normal thing in people's minds when a team gets high score by Zhang Hao.

    Fisher advanced past half court and passed the ball to Payton.

    Payton played from the high post, and Mark Madsen took advantage of Mark Madsen's ball-free pick-and-roll on the right side of the ball. O'Neal pulled out of the three-second zone to maintain a rushing posture. Pierce released the ball, and Mark Madsen received the ball and dunked in one step!

    Zhang Hao switched defense to Pierce and took it back immediately, but it was still a beat late.

    After scoring the goal, Mark Madsen celebrated with a dance, and then quickly retreated from defense.

    The second-year white short power forward of the Lakers is very interesting. When other players celebrate after dunking, it always makes their opponents feel unhappy.

    But Mark Madsen is not. His celebration is a bit funny, but it can be seen that he is really happy.

    Although his strength is not very good, as a rushing power forward, in addition to his speed, his jumping, explosive power, and tonnage are not very good, but he has excellent awareness, strong tactical execution, positive style of play, and active personality Such a player  , the opponent will also have the idea of ????respecting him.

    Offensive and defensive transition, the Sonics attack.

    ¡®Zone defense?  Carlisle actually used this'

    Zhang Hao wandered around inside and encountered a zone defense that is quite rare in the NBA and can only be seen in NCAA games in the United States. He was very surprised.

    When he ran that lap, he found that no matter where he was, there were always two players who could get in front of him immediately.

    And it is not a serious zone defense. A serious zone defense is mainly about attacking the frame and singles. The Lakers just used this idea to prevent him from catching and shooting!

    Zhang Hao decisively pulled to the outside, received a pass from Jordan who was holding the ball behind his back in the high post, and hit the top arc singles.

    Pierce was very close, but Zhang Hao was blocked. Regardless of whether Zhang Hao broke through, Pierce had to stay close to defend the shot. Zhang Hao broke through. Pierce's physical fitness was very good, and his defensive stickiness was also high. Zhang Hao came to the right side of the free throw line, and Jordan went to the baseline.  Ran away, Zhang Hao made an emergency stop lob!

    The terrifying bonus of ¡®Kobe Time¡¯ is indeed very useful, but it is difficult to complete the instructions. The stronger someone is, the harder it becomes.

    But tonight¡¯s situation cannot only be solved by relying on him alone.

    Furthermore, an unavoidable flaw of ¡®Kobe Time¡¯ is that it can only be useful when it feels good.

    To put it simply, this medal is just a continuation of the good touch.

    Of course, against most opponents, even in the playoffs or even 50-win or 60-win level opponents, if Zhang Haolai makes six or seven consecutive goals in one go, he can directly destroy the opponent's confidence.

    Even if you are facing the real favorite to win the championship, it can play a huge role.

    But if it is a team with "experienced attacks" such as the Lakers and Bulls, the effect will be greatly weakened.

    At this time, Zhang Hao should consider, ¡®When I feel good, I should drive the performance of my teammates¡¯.

    Zhang Hao concluded that this was the situation tonight.

    At that moment, Zhang Hao made a judgment and decisively chose to execute it.

    Jordan¡¯s cuts and Zhang Hao¡¯s breakthroughs played a very good role in pulling the defense.

    Ben Wallace passed a ball-free pick-and-roll to Cassel on the left and then cut in. He took off from the left sideline of the three-second zone, glided from a long distance, and smashed the ball into the basket with an alley-oop dunk!

    Still 5 points difference!

    After Zhang Hao passed the ball, he received a system prompt that the 'Kobe Time' command was not completed.

    ??Bronze-level ¡®Kobe Time¡¯ has many restrictions. It is good to be able to complete the command trigger once after 5 activations.

    There is only one opportunity to initiate an order in each game, as long as the order must be cast and scored after the order is initiated.

    But this time Zhang Hao has discovered that the Lakers are no less afraid of his shooting than the Bulls and Raptors. He feels that this choice is the right one.

    Ben Wallace smashed the ball into the basket and ran out.wheel.

    But the performance of others is still very exciting.

    The players from the SuperSonics team who came to cheer on felt regretful that Steve Smith was eliminated in the first round with 17 points.

    Those who advanced were Peja with 23 points, Pierce with 22 points, Wesley Persson with 21 points, Mike Miller with 20 points, and Nash with 20 points.

    Mike Miller and Nash were both eliminated in the second round. Mike Miller only scored 17 points and Nash only scored 14 points in the second round.

    In the final, Pierce also had problems with his performance, with only 15 points. Peja and Wesley Persson both scored 19 points, and the two entered overtime.

    Overtime is different from regular games. There are 10 balls in total. Each point has a flower ball and an ordinary ball, totaling 15 points.

    In the end, Peja scored 9 points and Wesley Persson scored 5 points in overtime. Peja won the 2002 Philadelphia All-Star Three-Point Contest through overtime!

    The process was exciting and the fans were very excited to watch it.

    But when it comes to the slam dunk contest

    A total of 4 people participated, but the top stars and the strongest dunkers were not willing to participate. According to media reports, Jordan originally planned to have fun, but when he saw the other four contestants he finally gave up.

    Desmond Mason, who won the slam dunk contest last year, was eliminated in the first round. Jason Richardson's dunk was really good, but it was mostly due to the poor performance of his three opponents. It seemed like he was wrong, but  Like last year when Desmond Mason won the championship.

    Jason Richardson only proved one thing - he has good physical fitness, can dunk, and basically has no creativity.

    However, Jason Williams won both the Rookie Game MVP and the Slam Dunk Contest. In addition, he played very well in the regular season. He averaged 14 points per game so far this season, second only to Gasol among rookies The SuperSonics were named.  .

    The Sonics exchanged Jason Richardson and James Posey for Chandler. When Jason Richardson, who turned 21 years old, immediately performed as a top-notch scorer, Chandler watched  It's not that good when you get up.

    Some people refute this statement, but those who support this statement also have their reasons.

    The Sonics are a championship contending team, and they gave up two of their immediate talents for the sake of potential

    As for the fact that James Posey is no longer willing to be the fifth or sixth choice on the outside, and the point guard and shooting guard who cooperated well with James Posey have left the team, those who support this statement will not care.

    In his rookie season, Jason Williams' shooting efficiency was relatively low. He relied on the right to take shots and didn't care about it.

    When it comes to speculating on topics, of course you must choose conditions that support your own views.

    Of course, Jason Williams averaged 14 points on 13 shots per game, which is already very good for a rookie.

    Last season, Mike Miller, who averaged 11.4 points on 10 shots per game, also won the Rookie of the Year

    ¡­¡­

    Overall, the Comprehensive Competition Day was mediocre. With this year¡¯s Rookie Challenge in front, it seemed that the Comprehensive Competition Day was not that ugly.

    In the past two days of the game, in addition to the fierce three -pointer, it was lacking in the case of goodness, and it could also maintain a high heat. The reason  still the All -Star game!

    ¡°The top four Jordan successors¡± in the Eastern Conference were all selected as All-Star starters!  Battle against Jordan in the West!

    Remy Martin Twin Towers will join hands again!

    Grant Hill is back, and he won the All-Star vote in his rookie season. His popularity is overwhelming, and fans want to see him return to the All-Star stage.

    The double numbers 21 are divided into two teams, plus Ben Wallace wearing the number 3 jersey, the three most popular defensive players.

    There is also the most direct thing to watch - the Eastern Conference, where there are many outside superstars, and the Western Conference, where there are many inside superstars. Just look at the duel between the superstars, who is stronger?

    This year¡¯s All-Stars, except for Grant Hill, who is an All-Star purely based on popularity, the other 23 people are nothing to criticize. It can be said that some of the undrafted players may have performed better, but none of them are unworthy.

    After a day of official activities, at 5:30 in the evening, after dinner, the Eastern and Western All-Stars came to the training ground of the home and away teams at the Wachovia Center and began preparations for the game.

    At 9 o'clock in the morning, after the shooting started, some training has been carried out, mainly for everyone to get acquainted with each other. They are all All-Stars. Although there are few opportunities to be teammates, most of them have only partnered in previous All-Star games, but they are very close to each other.  learn.

    In the West, Adelman is the head coach, and he gives the training direction in one direction - with the twin towers of Zhang Hao + O'Neal as the core.

    ¡°Everyone can see this little thought, it¡¯s just for the regular season.

    But when you play a game, you always want to win.

    Zhang Hao looked at his outside line, Anfernee Hardaway, Jordan, Grant Hill, Payton, and Pierce.

    Not bad either.

    But there are 5 outside players and 7 inside players: Zhang, Ben Wallace, O'Neal, Wang Zhizhi, Garnett, Webber, and Nowitzki.

    Comparing the East, the East's outside line: Ikomika, Kidd, Ray Allen, Mashburn; inside line: Marion, Anthony Walker, Duncan, Jermaine O'Neal, Malone.

    ??Obviously, in terms of the rationality of the lineup, the Eastern Conference has become more reasonable since the rise of Jermaine O'Neal, Marion's emergence, and Malone's move eastward.

 Chapter 514 514. He is the truth!  (10,000 words, please vote)

    At 7 pm on February 12, 2002, the annual All-Star Weekend live broadcast began.

    This year¡¯s All-Star Game was broadcast live in more than 120 countries and regions around the world.

    With the NBA¡¯s official efforts to spend money on promotion and the outstanding performance of major stars, the All-Star Game has extremely high ratings.

    Another point¡­¡­

    Since the 1974-1975 season, the NBA All-Star Game has separated starters and substitutes. In the previous All-Star games, all players were selected by the head coaches of each team. After the substitutes were selected by the head coaches of each team, and the starters were selected by fans' votes, a total of  Nine players were selected as All-Star starters in their rookie seasons.

    In addition to Magic and Isaiah Thomas, the other seven players who were selected as All-Star starters in their rookie seasons will all appear in this All-Star Game. Jordan, O'Neal, Grant Hill, Zhang Hao, Iverson, Duncan, Kobe  .

    Compared with the All-Star starters before the 1975 All-Star Game, there are actually more or less problems. For example, Chamberlain, who was disliked by the coach, was actually an All-Star substitute for 4 seasons.

    Russell was an All-Star substitute for 5 seasons, and even won MVP several times as a substitute.

    In the early days of the NBA, there were no divisions between east and west, nor divisions. The same was true for the All-Star Game. At that time, 20 people were selected, divided into two teams, and found in two big cities to play a game each.

    Chamberlain and Russell did not prevent each other from becoming an All-Star starter. There were times when the two started together on the same team, and there were also times when they were not selected as starters for two teams.

    ??At that time, it depends on who the All-Star head coach likes, not who the fans like.

    Since the All-Star Game in 1975, the All-Star Game has truly become the ¡®All-Star Game¡¯.

    Magic, Isaiah Thomas, Jordan, O'Neal, Grant Hill, Zhang Hao, Iverson, Duncan, and Kobe, these 9 people were selected as All-Star starters in their rookie seasons, and they have always been talked about by fans during the All-Star weekend.  things.

    Especially in the mid-to-late 1990s, Grant Hill, Zhang Hao, Iverson, Duncan, Kobethere was a break between Duncan and Kobe. There were so many in the 1998 class, but the entire lottery area, Olowokan  Dee is basically the worst one.

    Both Magic and Assassin have retired. The seven players who are still playing in the All-Star Game in their rookie seasons, including Jordan and Grant Hill, will be selected as the All-Star starter next season. It is hard to say. If Jordan is not included in the starting lineup,  , there is a high probability that he can be like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, no matter how well he plays in the last few years, as long as he is still qualified, he can be selected as an All-Star substitute.

    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds per game in the penultimate year of his career, and 10 points and 4 rebounds per game in his final year. He was selected as an All-Star substitute by the coach.

    But it¡¯s hard to say about Grant Hill. He just came back this year. Even if he didn¡¯t play very well, the fans gave him a lot of support and selected him as an All-Star starter.

    But Grant Hill is the one who received the lowest votes as an All-Star starter. If Grant Hill performs the same as this season next season, it is unlikely that he will be selected as an All-Star starter.

    Grant Hill does not have many substantive honors. His performance in the first 6 years of his career was outstanding, but he cannot be called great. It is impossible for the coaches to select Grant Hill as an All-Star substitute like they did to give Kareem Abdul-Jabbar face.

    Of course, it is possible that after Grant Hill has completely adapted to the changes in his playing style, it is not impossible to perform as an All-Star. After all, Grant Hill will not turn 30 until October this year.

    The static physical condition and golf intelligence are there. Although he underwent minimally invasive surgery, he was not reimbursed for 5 consecutive seasons like in the original time and space. In addition, although his performance after his comeback was not at the All-Star level, he was happy to be Anfernee.  -The deputy next to Hardaway is actively adjusting his playing style, and there is still hope.

    Of course, it is impossible to perform as well as the "Two Miais" once again, unless the knee is gone.

    And Grant Hill chose to take a break for a season and a half when he was at his peak, obviously not intending to risk the rest of his life.

    With these 7 people playing together, it¡¯s not just a matter of watching them once or less, it might be the last time.

    This is also an aspect that fans attach great importance to.

    The pre-game performances ended at 7:30 pm, and the All-Star players entered the venue!

    In the host¡¯s introduction, the visiting team came on the bench first.

    O¡¯Neal was the first to play. Although he was not selected as the starter, he was very annoyed, but well, if this kind of thing happens many times, you will get used to it.

    O¡¯Neal was still full of charisma when he appeared on the stage, swaying his body, twisting his waist, and showing off a short hip-hop dance.

    There is no doubt that O'Neal is the most handsome boy among the All-Star substitutes.

    After the substitutes have finished playing,The fans booed, but more people shouted Zhang Hao's English name or various nicknames!

    The year before last, Zhang Hao 'destroyed' the dunk contest and left an 'opportunity' in the three-point contest.

    Last year, Zhang Hao scored 61 points in the All-Star Game.

    This year, Zhang Hao scored a triple-double in the All-Star Game!

    Gradually, the boos were drowned out, and the voices calling for Zhang Hao became unified

    ¡°mvp¡­mvp¡­mvp¡­¡±

    This year¡¯s All-Star Game is full of stars, and all the major stars have extremely strong personal charm.

    Counterattack model Jermaine O'Neal, undrafted king Ben Wallace, and exceptionally good-looking Shawn Marion Even these three least popular All-Stars are still in the minds of fans who have a certain understanding of the NBA.  , all left a deep impression.

    Not long after, David Stern came to the scene with the hostess. There were mixed boos and cheers, and David Stern began to award awards: "Ladies and gentlemen, the 2002 Philadelphia All-Star Weekend main game, the best  The Valuable Player Award winner isPaul Pierce from the Lakers"

    Pierce was stunned Although he scored a Western team-high 37 points, the highest score in the game was 45 points by Kobe Bryant of the Eastern team.

    This is not the point, the point is Zhang Hao¡¯s triple-double!  33 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, the second All-Star Game triple-double in history!

    Even though Pickley scored the key goal in the end, he still believed that Zhang Hao was the one who played the best. After all, it was the performance of the entire Western team around Zhang Hao.

    Others were also dumbfounded, this was a bit too much, Jordan had already stepped out with his left foot, ready to have a word with David Stern.

    "However, after the shock, people discovered that the last sound of David Stern's name was not broken after he pronounced Pierce's name.

    Finally, after gasping for breath, David Stern continued: "With Zhanghao from the SuperSonics! Congratulations to Akers and Paul for teaming up to score 70 points and leading the Western Conference to win this All-Star Game!"

    When the fans at the scene heard Pierce's name, they fell silent, even those who were booing also fell silent. At this time, cheers broke out again!

    As for the TV commentator, Kenny Smith couldn't cover up Barkley's curse, but Barkley cursed too early It was embarrassing, but he immediately changed his face and started talking again as if nothing had happened.  Hao mode.

    On the court, Pierce immediately became happy. He felt that Zhang Hao should win the award. If he won the award but Zhang Hao did not, he would be very dissatisfied, but together let's have fun together~

    The two of them lifted the All-Star MVP trophy together. The official trophy will be reissued later.

    After the award presentation, reporters gathered around.

    When asked about how he felt about winning the MVP together with Pierce, Zhang Hao glanced at O'Neal who was sulking again There he is!

    "When you need someone to help you shoot the ball, Paul is the best choice. He is the truth in solving problems!"

    "April, let's go."

    "Wait a minute, Diga and Annie are quarreling again."

    "Did Diga make Annie angry again? Just give him a good beating."

    "Your Annie is the naughty one, she stole Diga's snacks!"

    "Oh, that's okay, brother, I should let my sister"

    Zhang Hao returned to the car and waited for a while After waiting for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore and came to the gate again and shouted: "April, are they still quarreling?"

    April's voice came: "Jagula was woken up, Lelin can't coax him, wait"

    Zhang Hao returned to the car helplessly and continued to wait

    After a while, April came out holding her little son, while Lelin held the little boy in one hand and the little Loli in the other.

    Zhang Hao was stunned and said weakly: "April, we are going on a date."

    ¡°You can also bring your children with you on a date!¡±

    "Lelin can take good care of them. Isn't it usually Lelin who takes care of them?"

    "We usually go out for a while, we want to go to the movies and have dinner"

    "All right¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao could only accept this fact helplessly.

    I don¡¯t know since when, dating is no longer just a matter of two people.

    With Zhang Hao winning the AMVP title and David Stern awarding trophies and NBA certificates to the five new ¡®big stars¡¯, the 2002 All-Star Weekend in Philadelphia came to an end.

    It¡¯s February 14th, the last day of the All-Star weekend.

    Yesterday, Zhang Hao returned to Seattle with his teammates. This morning, the team did a simple training for tomorrow's home game against the Rockets. The training content was still related to Avery Johnson's addition to the tactical system. As for the Rockets the Rockets currently  The team ranked 11th in the Western Conference with 22 wins and 29 losses. It was the type that could not continue to be bad and could not be promoted. Even if the Rockets made it to the playoffs in the second half of the season, the Sonics did not take this opponent to heart.

    Even more, they hope that the Rockets can play better to help them quickly verify whether Avery Johnson can be integrated into the tactical system and become an important signing in the "physical distribution plan".

    Judging from the technical characteristics of Avery Johnson, there is not much problem. The bankrupt version of Jason Kidd is not that good in height, weight, lateral movement ability, defense, and long-range shooting.  So good, but the mid-range and short-range shooting is much better, the ball holding rate is low, and the command ability on the court is strong

    When selecting candidates, the Sonics management and coaching staff gradually narrowed down the selection through more than 40 regular season games, and finally focused on Tim Hardaway and Avery Johnson. In fact, they have already determined that these two  His playing style, strength, and experience all meet their requirements.

    But the competition still depends on the actual situation.

    The second half of the season is about to begin. Tomorrow, February 15th, the second half of the season officially kicks off. Each team will play 31 games from February 15th to April 20th.

    The Sonics have a relatively intensive schedule in the next half month and March. There are 8 games in the next half month and 16 games in March. However, in April, they are one of the teams with the easiest schedule in terms of schedule density. Although  The opponents are all strong teams, but there are only 7 games.

    In the past two days, some things have happened in the NBA, including transactions and contract extensions.

    The Mavericks regret the deal they made to acquire Juwan Howard and have been looking for a successor since the offseason.

    But Juwan Howard¡¯s salary of $18.75 million this season and $20.63 million next season, even if his average of 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game are definitely the data of a first-class power forward, this contract is too bad.

    Finally, during the All-Star weekend, the Mavericks found a team willing to take over Juwan Howard.

    On February 13, the Nuggets and Mavericks reached a deal involving eight players.

    The core chips of the Nuggets are Nick Van Exel and Reeve LaFrentz, and the core chips of the Mavericks are Juwan Howard.

    This transaction is regarded as ¡®bad for bad¡¯.

    Reeve LaFrentz was reimbursed for his rookie season. He returned in his second year and averaged 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. As the 'hope of the white center', the Nuggets gave him a seven-year, $69 million contract two years in advance.  The Knife's contract wants to use a 'cheap contract' to bind Reeve LaFrentz.

    As a result, in his third year, last season, Reeve LaFrentz still averaged 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game. This season he is 25 years old and entering the prime period of his career. Although he averaged 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.  Performance, but the Nuggets regret giving him a big contract.

    ?Obviously, Reeve LaFrentz was already in full form when he entered the NBA, averaging between 12 and 15 points per game.?Not so important anymore.

    Unlike others, O'Neal was the strongest player in his prime.

    There is nothing better than playing against the best players on the court.

    Zhang Hao looked at the draft on the coffee table.

    In addition to their SuperSonics schedule in the second half of March, there is also the Lakers' schedule.

    The Lakers have 7 games in the next half month, one less than the Sonics.

    The opponents are the Kings, Mavericks, Clippers, Spurs, Hornets, SuperSonics, and Trail Blazers.

    Zhang Hao already learned about this when he was busy analyzing the schedules of competitors in the Western Conference some time ago.

    Although the Lakers will have one fewer game than their SuperSonics team in the next half month, the difficulty is not worse than their SuperSonics team.

    They are all the most popular and popular strong teams. The Lakers' schedule in March will not be easier than that of the SuperSonics, and their opponents will definitely be mostly strong teams.

    Zhang Hao knew this, so he chose to take a gamble with Jordan.

    Of course, the fundamental reason is still for the playoffs.

    And it doesn¡¯t matter if he loses. Zhang Hao originally planned to customize a sports car with Jordan as the selling point if he wins the championship this year. Whether he loses or wins this time, as long as he wins the championship, Zhang Hao will customize a special edition for Jordan.

    It¡¯s just that if he wins the bet, he Zhang will also receive a golden steering wheel

    A gamble that guarantees no loss.

    Just when Zhang Hao was intoxicated by the superiority of his IQ, the system prompt came!

    "The content of the bet between special contracted player Zhang Hao and Michael Jordan has spread Exclusive mission in the Age of Gods: Triggered by those who resisted"

 Chapter 516 516. Crazy, come as you say (10,000 words for monthly votes)

    The conversation between Zhang Hao, Jordan and team doctor Andre Callahan at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle was leaked.

    A large number of nurses and doctors gathered around to watch Zhang Hao and Jordan come to the hospital. No one knew who sold this conversation to reporters.

    The bet between Zhang Hao and Jordan caused an uproar.

    The content of the conversation between Zhang Hao and Jordan regarding the bet seemed to be that the championship was within their grasp!

    How the media evaluated it and how people from other teams reacted, let¡¯s not talk about it for now.

    Originally, the Sonics had 4 live broadcasts in the United States out of the next 8 games this month, which is pretty good. In the first half of this month, out of the 8 games, the Sonics already had 5 live broadcasts in the United States. The Sonics were originally expected to have 7 games in the U.S. this month.  After the live broadcast and the All-Star Weekend, the major TV stations announced the addition of two games to the schedule, which is 9 live broadcasts across the United States in a single month. This is already astonishingly high.

    On March 16, the day after Zhang Hao made a bet with Jordan, fans' attention began to ferment. The four games of the Nets, Jazz, Bucks, and Suns that were not broadcast live were all added.  broadcast!

    In addition to the SuperSonics, what else has benefited from the attention is the Lakers, who have not done anything to bring happiness from heaven The Lakers originally had 3 live broadcasts of the 7 games in the second half of this month, and now they have also broadcast three additional games!

    The alliance¡¯s economic experts burst into tears

    As expected, Zhang Hao is the number one star that the league believes will grab ratings and attention in March. Economic experts have thought about many possibilities as to how Zhang Hao will grab attention.

    But no matter how you speculate, you never would have thought that Zhang Hao would actually steal the limelight from the NCAA by relying on this!

    Zhang Hao has scored 40+ points in 4 of 5 games in the past week, together with Drew Gooden of the University of Kansas, Jay Williams, the new face of Duke University after Kobe Bryant joined the NBA, and super center Yao Ming of Georgetown University.  Compared to the most popular star in the NCAA basketball tournament, they are at best evenly matched.

    In March Madness, Zhang Hao was able to single-handedly equal the attention of the NCAA's top stars, and the league's top brass was already very satisfied.

    Then, halfway through March Madness, the league¡¯s top brass realized that things had just begun

    Early in the season, Kidd joined the Nets, which transformed the Nets. At that time, the impact on fans was not that strong.

    But now, at the end of the regular season, the Nets are still ranked second in the Eastern Conference!

    Vin Baker, who is 211 centimeters but weighs 136 kilograms and has a round waist, was activated by Kidd and became the favorite for the best sixth man with an average of 14 points and 6 rebounds per game; Kenyon Martin's athletic ability was fully utilized by Kidd; aging was seriously affected  Gugliotta and Larry Johnson, who were given up by the Suns and Knicks, became high-quality role players; Corey Kittles and Van Horn, two former geniuses known as "data brushes",  Became an efficient scorer

    Currently, McGrady has won Player of the Month twice and is the only star to win Player of the Month multiple times this season.

    Others, Zhang Hao, Garnett, Webber, Ben Wallace, Duncan, and Anthony Walker, only got it once.

    The stars performed very well and the stars shined brightly. It is not impossible if the MVP does not win the Player of the Month this season.

    ¡®Where are Master Bi and Mr. Sheep?  Yaoshou, Ji Bu Gong wants to win the MVP!  ¡¯

    The game was about to start, and Zhang Hao saw his old teammate Byron Scott standing aside and watching Kidd giving orders to his teammates.

    ¡®Is this the courage of an old football tyrant?  So envious!  I'd better not have this day'

    Zhang Hao felt that the opposing players were particularly motivated tonight.

    Zhang Hao knows the reason - other teams want to mess with them!

    No matter what the final result of the season is, if the Sonics can lose a few more games without Jordan and make his rhetoric a laughing stock at this stage, it will be something worth being excited about for players from other teams.  .

    ¡®It seems that apart from our next opponent who will go berserk, Big Fat¡¯s side is also quite difficult. His opponent also wants to see him overtaken by meemmmbeat-la!  ¡¯

    ¡°The People of Resistance: The Age of the Gods.

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to lead the SuperSonics?Exactly!

    Knowing that O'Neal was going to play like this, he even knew what moves O'Neal would make every step of the way. The double attack was also very fast. When O'Neal received the ball, Ben Wallace let Horace Grant go to double attack O'Nealbut he just couldn't prevent it.  O'Neal scored the ball as expected.

    You can¡¯t start the first round by flanking O¡¯Neal without the ball and watching Horace Grant directly catch the ball and throw it from close range, right?

    Even though he was mentally prepared to defend O'Neal, Zhang Hao still felt a little bit frustrated.

    Fortunately, since last season, Zhang Hao has been the one who defended O'Neal for the Sonics. He was abused and abused After a long time, he got used to it.

    If you can¡¯t defend yourself, then attack!

    Cassel received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, passing the ball to Zhang Hao at a 45-degree angle on the left.

    Zhang Hao caught the ball and ran along the three-point line toward the top arc. Cassel cut in from the middle. Ben Wallace came to the three-point line between the 45-degree angle on the left and the top arc to help Zhang Hao block Pierce. Zhang Hao used the pick-and-roll.  accelerate!

    Horace Grant switches defense, Zhang Hao goes around the top arc and breaks through from the right side of the top arc. Lynch Hunter hesitates between rushing up to grab Zhang Hao or following up with Dell Curry who goes around the top arc.  .

    When Zhang Hao threw away Horace Grant around the top arc, Pierce had already taken the opportunity to get out of the pick-and-roll and rush toward Zhang Hao.

    Lynch-Hunter¡¯s hesitation made Pierce¡¯s efforts in vain.

    Zhang Hao stopped one step to the right of the free throw line and took a mid-range shothit!

    Facing the unparalleled violence of O'Neal, Zhang Hao responded with superb shooting!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 517 517. He is teaching bad children again!  (14,000 words, please vote for me!)

    "Man, stick to your defensive strategy!"

    Carlisle shouted at Lynch-Hunt, who was clapping his hands.

    Unlike Larry Brown who yells and screams when things go wrong, Carlisle's image in the minds of the players is that he is restrained and not open, but if he speaks during the game, it is a very important thing.

    Although Dell Curry suffered a lot of injuries this season and needed rest, he only played in 40 of more than 70 games. However, his ability to catch and shoot on the move, follow Zhang Hao and Parker's counterattacks to follow up with three-pointers, and in positional battles  Cutting into the frame, this was his best year in the three years since joining the SuperSonics. He shot 46.2% from the field, 43.4% from open three-pointers, and averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game.

    He averaged 17 minutes and 8.6 points in 40 games, which was the best year for the Sonics.

    Executive coach Paul Westphal decided to start Dell Curry during internal discussions among the coaching staff in order to form a better containment. Dell Curry¡¯s $2.1 million is better than the $6 million in history.  Steve Smith is better.

    Of course, as the sixth man, Steve Smith deserves a salary of $6 million. It¡¯s not that Steve Smith is not good, he can do a good job, but Dell Curry has done too well this year.

    Lynch-Hunter nodded towards Carlisle and passed the ball to Payton across the half court. O'Neal started the rushing threat mode, and the regular offense still had to revolve around Payton and Pierce.

    After some running and passing, Horace Grant received the ball in an open position and passed the ball from the baseline to the left side of the three-second zone. Payton caught the ball and made a mid-range shot!

    If Jordan doesn't play, the Sonics' seamless rotation of defensive tactics at positions 2-4 can't be implemented. Jordan's defensive guards this year are much worse than last year, but Artest can defend at a first-class level this year when he switches to defensive point guards.  Jordan gained weight and did a better job of defending small forwards and power forwards than last yearbut Jordan couldn't play.

    The Lakers' offense accurately grasped this point. Pierce, O'Neal, and Horace Grant pushed the defense down. Lynch Hunter is an excellent combo guard. After the three-point line specifications were changed,  , one of the fastest players to adapt to the new three-point line. In the 1999-00 season, he averaged 2 three-pointers per game with a 43% three-point shooting rate. Last season, he averaged 12.7 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game for the Pistons.  1.8 steals. At the age of 31, he is in his prime. He joined the Lakers with a three-year, US$10 million mid-level contract. He is willing to play a supporting role. The back line formed with Payton is one of the strongest defensive back lines in the league.

    If Jordan doesn't play, when Horace Grant or Pierce catches the ball off the line, Ben Wallace can only block people and reasonably cover the areas above the collision zone and below the free throw line. Ben Wallace  Being restrained.

    The Lakers played very well offensively this round. Zhang Hao glanced at Carlisle, who had shaved his head at some point, and really wanted to grab a handful of Parker

    ¡®Jim Carrey is really good, he can always think of the best way to deal with the game, no wonder he is bald.  ¡¯

    Zhang Hao picked up the ball and sent it to Cassel, whistled and gestured to his teammates.

    After Cassel received the ball, he immediately accelerated his progress.

    The defensive end can be seen clearly at a glance - facing the Lakers' Big Three and Carlisle's exquisite tactics, it is impossible to guard against it.

    ?????????????????????????????? Then try our best to adjust the offensive end in a direction that is beneficial to their SuperSonics team, and also reduce the number of times the opponent loses ground battles by increasing the speed.

    When the Sonics play fast and have loopholes when retreating, will the opponent give up the opportunity to seize the loophole?

    In the beginning, it was okay for the Lakers to hold on, once or twice, but as the game progresses, the body becomes more and more excited, which will also affect the judgment of making choices.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    At 4 minutes and 47 seconds of the first quarter, the Lakers led the SuperSonics 13-9 by 4 points. Artest missed a three-pointer on the right sideline. O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed it to Payton, heading towards the top of the arc.  Wide open, Payton received the ball at the free throw line and counterattacked again!

    There was a successful counterattack before, which gave Payton a lot of confidence.

    Ben Wallace quickly retreated from defense, and Payton advanced to the frontcourt to pass to Lynch Hunter, who followed up. Lynch Hunter flew for a layup Zhang Hao, who was chasing after him, slapped the ball away with a palm, and the ball hit the target.  The rebound bounced back, Zhang Hao grabbed the ball himself and counterattacked!

    As soon as the rest of the Lakers followed up and entered the three-point line, they immediately had to turn back and run.

    Zhang Hao failed to trigger the "Ride Alone", but he still attracted the defense. With Pierce guarding him, he rushed to the opponent's three-point line and kicked the ball Dell Curry was a little slow in returning to defense, but he also shot down a beat faster.  The high-leap alley-oop dunk made my son sitting on the sidelines envious

    When Dell Curry was 11 years old, he completed a dunk in a game, but??They are all pretty good.

    But when Zhang Hao played against the Raptors, it felt weird

    If you are careless, it is really easy for the Raptors to score. If you are more relaxed on the offensive end, it is also easy for the opponent to defend you.

    ??Especially Odom and Antonio Davis, both of whom are more restrained in dealing with him.

    Speaking of which, these twin towers, if they want to guard Zhang, are really capable of doing a better job than the Lakers guarding him.

    However, when the Sonics launched a fierce attack and needed the Raptors to "fight", the Raptors players seemed to have no desire to "fight".

    If you can beat me, beat me. If you can't beat me, I'll knock you down.

    There is nothing wrong with this idea.

    But unlike the Sonics' "fight if you can," the Sonics are trying to maximize the strength of their existing lineup. The Raptors are not

    After the game, Carter had 28 points, Odom had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Antonio Davis had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Maurice Peterson had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. It seemed like there was no problem, the main players performed very well.  Well, scoring 100 points against the Sonics, who tried their best to defend, is pretty good.

    But the Sonics scored 112 points

    Zhang Hao made 17 of 31 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 45 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.

    Cassell had 21 points, 3 rebounds and 14 assists, Artest had 18 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals, Ben Wallace had 9 points and 12 rebounds, Steve Smith had 12 points

    The SuperSonics defeated the Raptors 112-100 and easily won their 55th victory of the season, becoming the third team to win 55 games this season!

    Zhang Hao also scored 40+ points in his 10th consecutive game, surpassing Jordan and ranking second in consecutive 40+ games alone!

    After the game, Barkley went to interview Carter and asked: "Vince, Akers has scored 40+ 32 times, the 10th consecutive game. What impact do you think this will have on the children?"

    Fans who are watching the live broadcast and have not yet changed the channel feel that Barkley is too damaged!

    When Zhang Hao scored 76 points, Carter said that Zhang Hao would teach the children bad things by playing like that. Then, Zhang Hao scored 86 points against the Raptors.

    When Zhang Hao averaged a triple-double in a single month, Carter said that Zhang Hao would teach children bad things by playing like that. Zhang Hao scored 40+ triple-doubles against the Raptors.

    Come now!

    But Carter is stubborn, he loses, but he refuses to accept it!

    "He shouldn't be like this. I'm not saying he's not good. He can do things that none of our players can do, but he shouldn't play like this. He keeps shooting and it will make kids think basketball is played like him.  But the truth is no one is like him."

    Barkley nodded and did not refute Carter's words, but continued to ask: "You said before that Akers broke through with the ball and got 10 assists per game. This was not a good way of playing and would teach the children bad things; this year Akers  The ball holding rate has dropped to 18%. He no longer holds the ball. He catches and shoots. You also said that he will teach the children bad things. Vince, how do you think Aix should play?"

    ¡°This¡­how could Carter not know that he was being targeted by the world¡¯s No. 1 Hao Chu?

    But he is stubborn!

    "He can find a better way to play and won't teach the children bad ways to play, but I don't know. He is the number one player in the league, and I am not."

    With Carter¡¯s words, even Barkley didn¡¯t know where to start.

    Being thick-skinned makes you invincible, and Barkley found that he couldn¡¯t find a fulcrum!

    ¡­¡­

    Those who are thick-skinned must be dealt with even thicker-skinned.

    Carter's style of play has been criticized by many people. He has to break through seven or eight times in each game and tries to dunk at least 4 times in each game, but he averages dunks per game He missed 7 games this season and played 66 games, with a total of dunks.  50 times.

    When he breaks through towards the basket, people know that his first choice is to dunk, and it has to be a wonderful dunk.

    So Carter gets to the basket seven or eight times per game and takes successful shots, but only averages about 6 per game, including counterattacks, and his shooting rate is relatively low. This season, he has a 57% shooting rate from close range and at the basket.

    By comparison, when scoring from close range and at the basket, Kobe shot 65%, McGrady shot 61%, and even Iverson shot 59.7%.

    Carter has the best overall performance in mid-range and long-range shooting, but his true shooting percentage is only about the same as Iverson's, and the comparison is based on the fact that Iverson took a lot more shots

    Carter once again "questioned" Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao knew Carter's temperament and basketball values ??and didn't think it was a big deal.

    But without any suspense, Carter was once again ridiculed by the crowd.

    "Dunks brought Carter high popularity, but when he has no substantial honors to support his popularity, he is almost like a traffic star

    In addition to the ridicule of the media and fans, there is a group of red people in the east. Among them is a player wearing the No. 24 jersey. His mind is as broad as that of a gentleman wearing the blue No. 24 jersey in the west. After hearing the TV picture of Carter,  When he said "no one can be like him", I was so angry!

 Chapter 518 518. New ship records one after another!  (13,000 words, please double the monthly pass!)

    March 31st, the last competition day of the fifth competition month ends.

    The Kings narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 105-100 today, winning their 60th victory of the season and improving their record to 60 wins and 14 losses!

    As the first Kings team to win 60 games, it is quite popular.

    But in the current basketball world, just like in March of previous years, Zhang Hao has no topic for public opinion to speculate on. He has to create topics of his own to steal the limelight.

    The Lakers met the Trail Blazers for the third time this season and narrowly defeated them 99-92, improving their record to 53 wins and 21 losses.

    After the last game on the last match day in March, Zhang Hao received a system prompt.

    ¡°The People of Resistance: The Age of the Gods.

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to lead the SuperSonics to maintain the second place record in the Western Conference at the end of the March schedule.  (Completed, accumulated 5 wins)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the 50-day lifespan reward.

    Goal 2: Before the end of March, Zhang Hao needs to surpass Rick Barry with 40+ times in a single game this season.  (Completed, cumulatively won 8 games of 40+ in a single game)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the 80-day lifespan reward.

    The remaining life is 3090 days and the available life is 3089 days.  "

    "Congratulations to the host for exceeding the 3,000-day lifespan for the first time. You will be rewarded with a silver lottery opportunity. You can use the silver lottery times at the expense of your lifespan."

    "The remaining number of draws (opportunities): Bronze 2 (1), Silver 2 (2), Gold 0 (0)."

    'If necessary in this year's playoffs, the number of bronze and silver draws is enough. You don't have to waste your life to use the lottery opportunities It would be great if there was a gold lottery. If you get a training card, you won't need it this summer.  I¡¯m struggling with what technology to expand.

    "Although you can spend 180 Destiny to learn a top-notch skill from someone who is willing to teach it to a qualified level of 60, but whether you can continue to strengthen after passing the qualification depends on whether you have talent'

    ¡®O¡¯Neal didn¡¯t play in the game against the Trail Blazers, so why did the Trail Blazers still lose The game in April was still not easy!  ¡¯

    Zhang Hao watched the live broadcast of the game between the Lakers and Trail Blazers. He was looking forward to the Lakers losing.

    Anyway, the Lakers are basically locked in the top three, and the Mavericks behind them will most likely not be able to catch up.

    It is basically impossible for the Sonics to catch up with the Kings.

    In this case, Zhang Hao naturally wants to take the home court advantage, so the more the Lakers lose, the less pressure their SuperSonics will have to hold on to second place.

    But the Lakers did not lose, and it did not affect Zhang Hao¡¯s mood

    On the morning of April 1st, the league announced the best of the month awards for March.

    Coach of the Month: In the Eastern Conference, Cavaliers coach John Lucas won the Coach of the Month Award for the second time this season; in the Western Conference, Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks surged to fifth place in the Western Conference in March  Performance, won the best coach of the month award.

    Rookie of the Month, Eastern Conference. Jamal Tinsley of the Pacers won the Rookie of the Month for the second time this season. He averaged 7.4 points and 10.2 assists per game. He was one of the only two players to average 10+ assists per game in March.  One, the other is Tracy McGrady; in the West, Arenas of the Warriors relied on his performance of 16.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game to beat Pau Gasol and win the Rookie of the Month for the first time.

    Player of the month.

    In the East, Kidd of the Nets stabilized the second place in the East with a record of 11 wins and 4 losses in 15 games, improving the record to 51 wins and 23 losses, becoming the fifth team to win 50 points this season before the Mavericks.  The winning team won the Player of the Month award for the first time in the season.

    In the Western Conference, Zhang Hao of the SuperSonics won the Player of the Month Award for the second time this season by averaging 43.5 points in 16 games, tying McGrady who won the Player of the Month Award twice!

    Los Angeles Times evaluation - Zhang Hao won the best award this month just by scoring points.

    No one can refute this

    The SuperSonics' record of 11 wins and 5 losses in March is not very good. The Western Conference, Trail Blazers and Kings all have better records than the Sonics in March.

    In March, the Kings ranked first in the league with a record of 13 wins and 3 losses.

    But who would object to giving the best player of the month to a player who averaged 43.5 points per game in a single month?  14 times 40+ in 16 games, 3 of which were 50+.

    This person¡¯s performance, let alone 11 wins and 5 losses, even if he is 5 wins and 11 losses, he is the favorite for the best of the month.

    After March, Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring average increased to 38.6 points per game. By March, his scoring average increased by nearly 1.4 points!

    Moreover, Zhang Hao¡¯s madness in March is not over yet.

    After the game against the Raptors, Zhang Hao has scored 40+ in 10 consecutive games and he hasn¡¯t stopped yet!

    After Zhang Hao won the Western Conference Player of the Month in March, the Boston Post Sports sectionWhen facing extreme things, execution will always be stronger.

    After Zhang Hao began to focus on running threats and reduce the number of singles and shots, at 3 minutes and 27 seconds of the third quarter, the Sonics successfully overtook the Clippers by 1 point, 63-62.

    But the Clippers had no intention of changing from beginning to end, they just wanted to block Zhang Hao.

    After the SuperSonics took the lead, they quickly widened the gap

    After three quarters, Zhang Hao made 8 of 24 shots, including 3 of 9 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. Zhang Hao scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. After clocking out in the third quarter, the Sonics led 83 to 72.  Leading the Clippers by 11 points!

    When Zhang Hao did not play in the final quarter, the fans at the scene were very excited

    Even though the Clippers were ultimately defeated 93-105.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s streak of 40+ games has been fixed at 15 times. With one game left this season, the Sonics¡¯ record improved to 60 wins and 21 losses, and they won 60 games one game ahead of schedule!

    Zhang Hao has 40+ points in a single game 38 times, but he can't reach 40 games It's a little regrettable.

    However, after 81 games, Zhang Hao averaged 39 points per game!

    In the last game against the Lakers, Zhang Hao's score will definitely not be low In people's eyes, Zhang Hao will definitely become the second player in NBA history to average 39+ points per game, and enter the top three in scoring per game in a single season!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao¡¯s streak of 40+ points is big news. Being terminated is also the focus of discussion.

    The Clippers' operation is indeed unexpected.

    This makes those teams that failed to prevent Zhang Hao from scoring 40 points in a row call themselves experts

    But in April, the opponents the Sonics faced were either strong teams in the playoffs or teams with extraordinary talent. The only one that was embarrassing was the Clippers

    There have been three times in NBA history where there were at least 40 40+ times in a single season, all of which were won by Chamberlain. In those three seasons, Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points per game, 44.8 points per game, 38.4 points per game, and 38.4 points per game respectively.  That time, it was exactly 40 times and 40+.

    Zhang Hao had an opportunity, but it was ended by the Clippers, which made many fans feel regretful.

    But 38 times of 40+ points in a single game is already the fourth in history and the highest since the modern basketball era began!

    It¡¯s a pity that it can¡¯t affect Zhang Hao¡¯s scoring sensation this season!

    From the night of the SuperSonics-Clippers game to the next day, April 19, the penultimate game day of the NBA, the entire North American sports news section had ¡®Zhang Hao¡¯ written between the lines.

    After the game against the Clippers, the Sonics did not leave Los Angeles and took a day off. On April 20, the last game day of the regular season this season, the Sonics still played here. In the same arena, the opponent became  The Lakers.

    The discussion about Zhang Hao¡¯s 40+ games and 39 points per game has not declined yet, and the discussion about the SuperSonics¡¯ final game against the Lakers has been brought up again.

    On the 19th, the Kings narrowly defeated the Mavericks 106-104 in an away game, winning their 65th victory of the season. They overcame the 64-18 Bulls to win the regular season championship without making any waves

    The topics people discuss and the focus of public opinion are all inseparable from one name - Zhang Hao!

    ¡­¡­

    On April 20th, the last game day of the 2001-2002 regular season arrived.

    In order to deal with the long-term impact of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the league arranged many popular games in the last two game days. But just like yesterday, on the last game day, other games did not attract much attention, and people focused on  SuperSonics and Lakers game.

    Since yesterday, people have been predicting how many points Zhang Hao will score in his final game.

    Now even if Zhang Hao says he wants to create 101, people will believe it!

    but¡­¡­

    Until noon¡­¡­

    During the Lakers' regular press conference, SuperSonics assistant coach Del Harris told the media with a numb face: "I want to tell you some bad news. I'm sorry because Akers didn't play in the last game.  If he can get 40+, his intermittent mental explosion syndrome has recurred and he will miss tonight's game due to injury"

 Chapter 519 519. I choose to vote for Aix (12,000 words, please vote for me!)

    At 8 pm on April 20, 2002, the SuperSonics challenged the Lakers away from home. This star-studded game there were many stars.

    Zhang Hao, Jordan, Cassell, O'Neal, Pierce, and Payton all sat on the bench wearing suits.

    There is a tacit understanding between the two teams.

    If Zhang Hao scores 40+ against the Clippers, and if the two teams need a game to decide who is second in the Western Conference, if either of these two conditions is met, the two teams will have a good fight tonight.

    However, Zhang Hao only scored 22 points against the Clippers. He has surpassed Jordan's 37 times of 40+ points, and he cannot become the second player to achieve 40+ times in a single season. The SuperSonics currently have 60 wins and 21 losses, and the Lakers have 60 wins and 21 losses.  The team had 56 wins and 25 losses.

    In addition, the Sonics won the first four games of the season, so there is no possibility of relying on this game to improve one's mental strengths and weaknesses, and the two teams have been competing from last season to this season

    No need.

    Of the six All-Star players from both teams this season, only Ben Wallace appeared in the game.

    The Sonics only have Ben Wallace who has played a full season this season.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting lineup of Avery Johnson, Steve Smith, Artest, Anthony Mason Jr., and Ben Wallace.

    The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Fisher, Lynch Hunter, Rick Fox, Horace Grant, and Stanislav Medvedenko.

    There are two starters and three substitutes.

    The two teams were so familiar with each other that when they met the condition that the two teams had no need at all for the outcome of the final game, Doug Collins and Rick Carlisle both guessed that the opposing team would field such a starting lineup, and even the other team  The specific starting lineup has been guessed.

    This game is not useless. On the contrary, regardless of not caring about winning or losing, in fact, it still plays a very important role - adjusting the rotation lineup for the playoffs.

    The final game of the regular season was played like this by the two teams After making a year's money with the Lakers and SuperSonics this year, David Stern, who has always been very happy, can no longer be happy.

    So angry!

    But what can be done?  At most a fine will be imposed.

    "It is impossible to suspend the game. I will never ban those people for this kind of thing in my life Unless there is really no way, even if there is really no way, the number of banned games must be shortened to the minimum

    "The only people who don't care much are the fans at the scene.

    Although they spent a lot of money to buy tickets to watch this game live, Lakers fans don't care that much. In the past two years, O'Neal has not played in the curtain call.

    Lakers fans have long known that when the outcome of this game does not affect the ranking between the Lakers and their rival SuperSonics, neither team will particularly care about this curtain call.

    And the playoffs are about to start.

    After the game started, the players from both teams played very hard, and the coaching staff of both teams also attached great importance to the performance of the rotation lineup.

    But the fans didn¡¯t care much. The big screen often showed Zhang Hao, Jordan, O¡¯Neal, Pierce and others sitting on the sidelines.

    There were cheers or boos from time to time, but it had nothing to do with the players on the field

    In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the SuperSonics 97-92 and won the regular season finale.

    When the final whistle sounded, a system prompt came that surprised Zhang Hao.

    "Special contract player Zhang Hao completed 15 consecutive 40+ games in the 2001-2002 NBA season, completed 38 40+ achievements in a single season, and completed 9 50+ achievements in a single season, all of which broke the record of the data king Wilt Chamberlain or only  Second to the record of Wilt Chamberlain, the king of statistics, congratulations to the host for receiving Zhang Hao¡¯s 2001-2002 season achievement reward: 1 gold lottery.¡±

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? What an unexpected surprise!

    Zhang Hao immediately became excited.

    The main reason for not playing in the last game is that there is no chance to get the 40th 40+, and it has already surpassed Jordan's 37 40+ times, so there is no need.

    And looking at the Lakers, in the first 7 games of April, to be precise from the game on March 31 to the first 7 games of April, O'Neal did not play in 4 of the 8 games. The SuperSonics coaching staff  Some people feel that the Lakers may not want to compete for second place after the last match.

    If the Mavericks hadn't been in too much pain after sending away Juwan Howard and couldn't improve their record, the SuperSonics coaching staff felt that the Lakers might want to drop to fourth place and pick the Kings in the second round.

    Based on a variety of factors, the Sonics actually don¡¯t want to play against the Lakers so early in the playoffs.

    Of course, it has been determined now. No surprise, in the second round, theyThe performance of 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists is quite outstanding.

    For the Rookie of the Year, Gasol of the Grizzlies received 70 votes, more than half of the votes, and won the Rookie of the Year in a crushing manner.

    The second-most vote getteris Spurs rookie Arenas, who averages 14.4 points and 5.2 assists per game. The third is Jason Richardson of the Warriors, who averages 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. The fourth is Magic.  Kwame Brown, who averaged 26 minutes per game, scored 6.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1 steal and 1.8 blocks. Fifth was Battier of the Grizzlies, averaging 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

    The rookies from the 2001 class, compared to the rookies from the 2000 class can be said to be crushed.

    Because it was not favored at the beginning and was regarded as a ¡®reissue of the 2000 class¡¯, people praised the 2001 class more than they should have.

    For example, the Magic¡¯s training of Kwame Brown and the SuperSonics¡¯ training of Chandler have both received high praise.

    Chandler averaged 15 minutes per game, scoring 4.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. Although he played less time, it was not garbage time in most cases, and his playing time was generally very consistent. In most cases, he only played half of the game.  Festival.

    On Kwame Brown¡¯s side, his defense in the low post area improved rapidly during his rookie season. He blocked O¡¯Neal twice in a single game, which was the most impressive game of Kwame Brown¡¯s rookie season.

    In fact, the Sonics' training of Chandler and the Magic's training of Kwame Brown are all the training that a center with extremely high defensive talent should have.

    But because the rookies from the 2000 classthe 2001 class all look so good as long as they do something better.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Easily sweeping through and advancing to the second round, the Sonics did not have any mental changes.

    They have been rushing to sweep each other in the playoffs from the beginning. Sweeping them seems normal to them.

    On the 29th, we returned to Seattle for a night¡¯s rest. On the morning of the 30th, the fourth game of the series between the Lakers and Clippers, the SuperSonics had already begun preparations for the second round with the Lakers.

    The Sonics did not disappoint. In G4, the Lakers defeated the Clippers cleanly 103-96. They were defeated on the road. The fans at the scene were cheering for the Lakers.

    The SuperSonics and Lakers meet in the second round!

    Many people feel a little regretful that the two teams have to meet so early, and believe that the two teams deserve to compete on a higher stage.

    Along with the Lakers, the 76ers and Kings advanced with a big score of 3 to 1.

    What is surprising is that the Nets lost in G4. O'Neal Jr. defeated the Nets inside with 28 points, 20 rebounds and 3 blocks, single-handedly dragging the series into the fifth game.

    That night, the league announced the upcoming schedule.

    On May 2, the Nets and Pacers will play G5. On May 4, the Bulls and Cavaliers, Kings and Mavericks will start the second round of these two series. On May 5, the SuperSonics will play  The series against the Lakers begins, and the 76ers' series against the winner of the Nets and Pacers begins.

    The SuperSonics thought the second round would start on May 3, but due to the Nets, it was postponed for two days.

    The SuperSonics feel a little regretful. They started resting on the 29th. Starting the second round on the 3rd was the most comfortable arrangement for them. It was postponed for two days, and the advantage of advancing first was basically wiped out.  .

    ¡­¡­

    On May 1st, a new month has arrived. There is no game today. The other seven advancing teams in the second round are waiting for the Nets and Pacers to decide the winner.

    But fans still have news to watch today.

    mvp and best defensive player voting!

    As information and communication technology becomes more and more developed, the cost of information dissemination is also reduced.

    During this year¡¯s voting period, major media outlets conducted interviews before and after the voting.

    In the morning, when journalists, experts, commentators, broadcasters, etc. with voting rights came to the NBA headquarters, they were all surrounded by reporters.

    Regarding MVP, reporters asked surprisingly consistent questions: "Will you vote for Akers?"

    Andre Stotts, a reporter with voting rights for American cable TV, replied: "Actually, Duncan performed very well this year, but the aging of the 76ers' lineup has dragged him down. I think many people will vote for him, so I choose  Vote for Akers, I love what he's doing this year."

    Sports Illustrated columnist Chris Mannix replied: "MVP candidates, you can't forget Shaq. He is the best center in the world. In my mind, he is the best center in history. I call on others to vote.  More people voted for Shaq, he should not only have 1 MVPI will vote for Akers, although he is no longer with the Lakers, he is still my favorite."

    A reporter from the Boston Post replied in an interview: "I don't like the Bulls, you know, but Tracy McGrady's performance this season conquered me, and I chose to vote for Akers.  , McGrady played so well, there is actually someone who can play better than McGrady"

 Chapter 520 520. The strongest MVP!  (asking for double monthly pass)

    At 6 o'clock in the evening on May 2, the tiebreaker between the Nets led by Kidd and the Pacers led by Jermaine O'Neal began.

    In the first quarter, the Nets led by 8 points, 27-19. In the second quarter, the Pacers responded with a 27-19 lead, tying the score.

    The Pacers gained momentum in the third quarter, 28 to 17 in a single quarter, leading by 11 points in the third quarter. Seeing that the Nets, seventh in the Eastern Conference, were about to complete the victory As a result, Van Horn went berserk in the last quarter, and also played a subtle game with Kidd.  Regarding passing, Van Horn made 4 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter and only made three-pointers, but he scored 12 points in a single quarter.

    Kidd took advantage of Van Horn's control to sort out the offense. He scored a three-pointer in a single quarter and got 8 assists in a single quarter. He led the team to 30 points in a single quarter and defeated the Pacers with a 30-point deficit in the final quarter.  19. As Ron Mercer, who wandered to the Pacers, missed a breakthrough throw, the score was fixed at 93-93 in regular time and entered overtime!

    Overtime was a bit wild. In 5 minutes, the two teams scored 16-16.

    The Nets¡¯ Kenyon Martin and Vin Baker each scored 6 points, plus Corey Kittles and Van Horn each scored a mid-range shot.

    For the Pacers, Reggie Miller, who had an average performance during regular time, showed his strength in overtime, scoring 2 three-pointers and two mid-range shots, scoring 10 points. In addition, Jamal Tinsley scored 6 points, and the Pacers scored 10 points.  The score was tied at 109, forcing the game into the second overtime!

    But judging from the first overtime, the Pacers could no longer hold on inside.

    By the second overtime, all members of the Pacers couldn't hold on any longer. In the entire 5 minutes of the second overtime, only Jonathan Bender, who came off the bench, scored 2 points, and there was no other score.

    The Nets' Aaron Williams and Kenyon Martin scored 9 points. Together with Kidd's layup, the Nets scored 11-2 in the second overtime.

    In the end, after 2 hours and 51 minutes of play, the Nets defeated the Pacers 120 through double overtime and narrowly passed the first round.

    Time Warner Cable sports commentator Bill Walton said regretfully after the game: "It's a pity that Ratliff was injured, otherwise Miller's wonderful performance in the first overtime will definitely become a classic."

    Indeed, Reggie Miller, who is about to turn 37, single-handedly resisted the impact of many young stars from the opponent in the first overtime, which was shocking.

    But the most shocking thing about this game was Kidd.

    Kidd made 8 of 18 shots from the field, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. Kidd did very well tonight, scoring 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals, 1  blocked shots, made only 4 turnovers, and most importantly, got 20 assists!

    24 points, 12 rebounds, 20 assists, 4 steals and 1 block!

    Kidd, who is 29 years old and in his prime, performed an absolutely shocking performance in a life-and-death battle!

    In the series against the Pacers, the Nets' shortcomings of having difficulty dealing with superstars were fully exposed.

    Whether it's Jermaine O'Neal, who averages 29 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks per game, or Reggie Miller, who plays the first overtime in the tiebreaker, as long as someone from the Pacers performs as a superstar, the Nets will be unable to cope.  .

    This greatly exposed the two major flaws of the Nets: insufficient offensive ability and insufficient individual defense ability.

    It also shows that most of the Nets players are very mediocre players after leaving Kidd.

    The Nets are quite unique, but not just any playmaker can make good use of them. For example, Marbury led the team last season and ranked sixth in the league in the regular season.

    But Kidd led such a team to reach second place in the Eastern Conference and reach the second round.

    This kind of performance can definitely be praised for a long time.

    Kidd became the fifth player in NBA history to get 20 assists in a single game in the playoffs. The first four players were Magic, Stockton, Tim Hardaway, and Doc Rivers.

    Kidd¡¯s 20 assists this time is the 14th in NBA playoff history. The previous 13 times were once for Tim Hardaway and Doc Rivers, 7 times for Magic, and 4 times for Stockton.

    It¡¯s just that Kidd¡¯s performance caused a sensation that night. The next day, on the morning of May 3, it was still the focus of heated discussion.

    But as it approaches noon, the heat begins to drop

    At 12 noon, the NBA officially announced the last two individual awards of this regular season.

    Ben Wallace received 101 of the 125 votes for the best defensive player vote, Garnett received 20 votes, Kobe received 3 votes, and Duncan received 1 vote. The other three players who received votes, plus  It¡¯s less than a quarter of Ben Wallace¡¯s votes!

    This season, Ben Wallace, who played a historical defensive efficiency of 8.6, won the first Defensive Player of the Year award in his career!

    The defensive efficiency of 8.6 is not enough in the entire NBA history.The three-section cruise fleet was dispatched in combination, it was so powerful!  The two scored 1 point more in a single quarter than their entire Sonics team.

    Fortunately, they had enough advantage in the first half that they could not control the situation in the third quarter and only lost 3 points when they fell behind in the third quarter.

    Otherwise, the 11-point difference in a single quarter, even if they repay the opponent with a 10-point difference in the last quarter, will be in vain.

    The 8-point advantage in the first half also forced the Lakers to fight hard in the third quarter without considering physical issues. O'Neal took all 4 shots in the final quarter and only relied on free throws to score 3 points.

    Pierce scored 29 points, O'Neal scored 28 pointsthese two men couldn't have played more brutally tonight!

    It¡¯s obvious that the Lakers were extremely well-prepared, but their SuperSonics¡¯ adjustments were extreme, and the opponent only came out with what they had prepared in the third quarter.

    Won!  The mvp+dpoy twin towers, both of which set historical records for vote share, have no regrets!

 Chapter 521 521. The strongest and best lineup (6,000 words, please double monthly votes)

    The SuperSonics defeated the Lakers in the first game of the series. Many people watching the game felt like - thrilling!

    Judging from the Lakers' tactics, if the Sonics hadn't made very radical changes, and the defense was almost completely different from the first round and the first three games against the Lakers in the regular season, they might have lost!

    In these two seasons, regular season + playoffs, the Lakers and SuperSonics played against each other 15 times. The Lakers won 5 times and the Sonics won 10 times. Even though they lost so many times, they also won sometimes.  Among the disadvantaged teams, the Lakers actually have more room for adjustment, while the SuperSonics have to hold on to their advantage.

    The Lakers¡¯ adjustment in this first game was more effective than last season¡¯s Western Conference Finals adjustment!

    ??Is it possible for a top coach to make significant progress?  Yes, people saw it with Carlisle.

    But at the same time, we also saw the adjustment ability of the SuperSonics coaching staff, the most bizarre coaching staff in the NBA.

    During the game, I didn¡¯t feel much about it. When looking back after the game, those experts and football experts all praised the defensive adjustments of the Sonics coaching staff.

    ¡­¡­

    "Actually, our adjustments are not that special. We played against the Lakers earlier, and the characteristics of the Lakers in the first round. We can clearly see that the Lakers' offense is very strong, led by O'Neal and Pierce.  If it is driven by Payton or someone else on the Lakers, it will be weakened a lot"

    The next morning, the Sonics conducted a game review the day after the game as usual.

    This is more effective than training with your head down during a day off.

    After Zhang Hao led the team to complete the game review, Silver Fox went up to further analyze the defensive adjustments in last night's game.

    He didn¡¯t say much about the actual effects of the defensive adjustments. In that aspect, Zhang Hao analyzed it in more detail than his old fox, the initiator of the defensive adjustments, thought.

    Silver Fox is analyzing from the perspective of strategic thinking.

    When Zhang Hao listened, he felt that Silver Fox was giggling.

    A coach like Silver Fox always follows his own instinct when formulating and adjusting strategies. There are moments of great glory and moments of stupidity.

    It¡¯s just that the bet was right this time.

    "However, since the bets are all right, of course you have to have some regrets afterwards.

    Of course, Silver Fox¡¯s ¡®instinct choice¡¯ is based on his many years of coaching experience, excellent overall view, and effective analytical skills

    Now that the direction is correct, the Sonics must of course expand further based on their successful defense.

    It¡¯s the Lakers who should have a headache at this time.

    Although it is said that ¡®losers have more room for adjustment¡¯, this statement seems to mean that winners are more ¡®passive¡¯, but winning is winning and losing is losing.

    It is true that losers will have more room for adjustment, but adjustments are not necessarily correct. They may not be as good as before after adjustment. After all, adjustments after losing are forced

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The first game of each series has been played, and the second round of the playoffs has completely begun.

    Time came to May 7. After a day of rest, the SuperSonics ushered in the second game of the series against the Lakers.

    The game starts at 7pm.

    As the Sonics thought, the Lakers made very radical adjustments.

    In the first game, the Lakers chose to keep up with the Sonics' defense and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Sonics. This was largely because although the Sonics' starting defense was good, the overall defense of the bench lineup was not as good as last season. It was far behind.  .

    But after the game, I saw Artest playing 30 minutes, Zhang Hao playing 40 minutes, Ben Wallace playing 42 minutes The Lakers only came to their senses during the post-game discussion. The SuperSonics substituted  The defense of the lineup is poor overall, but they can let the starters play more minutes.

    So this time, the Lakers chose to attack!

    In the first quarter, the Lakers scored 26-27, only 1 point behind. In the second quarter, the Lakers scored 24-22 in a single quarter, leading the SuperSonics by 1 point at halftime.

    In the third quarter, the Lakers scored 28 to 15, and then went on a rampage in the third quarter, widening the point difference to 14 points!

    However, in the final quarter, the Sonics began to take the initiative. Zhang Hao scored 10 points in a single quarter, and Parker, who came off the bench, relied on his speed to score 8 points in a single quarter. The two jointly led the Sonics to score 35 points in the final quarter, scoring a score of 35 to 21.  .

    Relying on Jordan's open mid-range shot after receiving a pass from Zhang Hao at a critical moment, the Sonics tied the score. After regular time, the score was 99-99 and entered overtime!

    In overtime, the SuperSonics continued to have the upper hand, scoring 4 goals and scoring 13 points. The LakersEspecially, he and I swap, I lead the Timberwolves, that¡¯s the best, right?  The ultimate second-in-command is a great help to teammates with outstanding abilities.  ¡¯

    Playing in the playoffs with the Lakers and playing in the playoffs with other opponents are different things in Zhang Hao's opinion, and the pressures they face are also completely different.

    Excluding his rookie year and the 1999-00 season, in other playoffs, except for the finals of the 1996-97 season, no opponent put such strong pressure on Zhang Hao.

    Therefore, unlike playing against other opponents and blocking outside information, Zhang Hao will always have fun when playing against the Lakers.

    ¡°For example, watching the scolding battle between two No. 21 fans This year the fun has become the internal strife between Kobe and Tracy McGrady fans.

    ¡®Don¡¯t let Plan B collapse!  Although they have not entered the finals for two consecutive years, and I only need to enter for one year, I can get an upgrade card for Kobe Bryant¡¯s time, but I really want to play with them'

    ??We won both games against the Bulls in the regular season, and we have already started our goal of the finals.

    'It's a pity that the Nets are 0 to 3. They basically have no chance of a comeback against Iverson. Duncan supports Iverson. The Nets are not their opponent The quarterback's promotion card fragments are probably only  Can wait until the Nets fail to reach the Finals for two consecutive years.  ¡¯

    'Actually, it's good to play against the 76ers. Jia Dajun said that the 76ers are already selling Mutombo in the middle of the season. This year should be the last year of the championship period for the two No. 1 picks. Next, they will rebuild  But the king of cross-steps has reached the full levelIt's better to beat the Bulls.

 Chapter 522: So what if 522.5 beats 8?  (11,000 words, please vote for me!)

    ¡®This¡­the Rockets are so lucky!  But who will they choose?  This really makes me curious.

    Although the Rockets are the team with the third-lowest probability of getting the No. 1 pick in the Western Conference, their 36-46 record only ranks them ninth from the bottom. They have a 5.8% chance of getting the No. 1 pick, and they actually got it.  ¡¯

    'The Nets are ranked 5th and we are ranked 3rd. That means we can trade our 26th pick for their 24th pick. That's okay. If we had known, we would have given it away in last year's draft. It's a bit of a loss, but  After the Nets traded for Kidd, the rights to exchange draft picks immediately became worthless. At that time, they were predicted to enter the playoffs Anyway, they got it cheaply, so it doesn't matter.  ¡¯

    'The market for high school students in this year's draft is good. Kwame Brown has not lost his temper, nor has it dampened the enthusiasm of each team to draft high school students. Unlike the original situation where Chandler and Curry were able to play high school students next season, teams were forced to choose high school students.  Regaining confidence Will the No. 1 pick be a bully or a motorcycle rider?  ¡¯

    In the evening, the draft lottery went smoothly. The lottery spots for this year's draft were determined. In a big upset, the Rockets won the No. 1 pick.

    Yao Ming went to get a lonely draw. The Wizards, fourth from the bottom, only got the No. 5 pick.

    Draft picks: 1. Rockets, 2. Warriors, 3. Pistons, 4. Nuggets, 5. Wizards, 6. Hawks, 7. Knicks, 8. Magic, 9. Heat  Team, 10. Grizzlies, 11. Spurs, 12. Celtics, 13. Jazz.

    After Zhang Hao watched the lottery, he analyzed this year's draft and found that he couldn't analyze it, and the changes were a bit big.

    What is certain is that the draft price of high school bullies is very high, and they are not affected by Kwame Brown, Chandler, and Eddie Curry like in the original time and space.

    In the original time and space, the performance of the three rookie seasons was not very good. Chandler and Eddy Curry can only be said to have hope, and Kwame Brown directly lost two-thirds next to Jordan.

    There is also Jay Williams, who is known as 'the strongest outside line in the NBA after Kobe Bryant'. In recent years, Kobe, Brand, Battier, Corey Maggette these people are too coquettish to enter the NBA.  Now, Jay Williams, who also graduated from Duke University, has received even more attention than Zhang Hao thought.

    This year Jay Williams defeated Yao Ming and Mike Dunleavy to win the Wooden Award and the title of the best college student in the United States.

    This year¡¯s NCAA, compared to last year, the star performance is much better.

    Jay Williams, Mike Dunleavy, Drew Gooden, DaJuan Wagner, Caron Butleras well as Chris Wilcox and Hu, who soared in draft rankings after the University of Maryland won the championship.  Ann Dixon.

    Although Zhang Hao¡¯s views are not the same as the ¡®gathering of geniuses¡¯ once again advocated by the media, Zhang Hao knows that many rookies in this class can become main players in the NBA.

    Zhang Hao recalled the remaining gems from this draft

    ¡°It seems like Scola and Boozer, Boozer¡¯s style of play overlaps with mine, and Scola¡­if the goal is to win the championship, having an insider like him is quite a disaster.

    We still have the 27th pick in the second round. If Scola falls into this position, it doesn¡¯t matter if he is selected. He seems to have a contract with La Liga for many years. It doesn¡¯t matter if he is not selected. The bald man is coming next season.

    ¡°It¡¯s better to be a free agent. The 24th pick in the first round is also a headache. I won¡¯t go up or down. I¡¯ll tell you when the time comes'

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Hao paid attention to the draft lottery, but the Sonics didn't care much.

    Their draft pick has been determined, either they will keep the 26th pick, or they will take the Nets' 24th pick.

    I'm not sure whether I should change this, because the picks are very late, but there is still a slight salary gap between the 26th pick and the 24th pick. If the person you want to pick reaches the 23rd pick and no team can pick it, they will have to go to the SuperSonics.  The team does not need to be changed.

    If you can also select the person you want with the 26th pick, there is no need to use the 24th pick. What you can save is a little bit - Larry Harris' salary philosophy.

    On the 12th, after a day of rest, the SuperSonics team began preparation training.

    There was also preparation training yesterday, but it was very small and mainly focused on discussing the problems encountered by g3.

    In the evening, the G4 games between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, Kings and Mavericks started.

    The Bulls were not affected by external factors. In their second away game, they defeated the Cavaliers 95-79, making the score 3-1!

    The Kings and Mavericks played wonderfully again.

    Jason Williams had 15 points and 15 assists, Nowitzki had 29 points, Finley had 37 points, Van Exel had 14 points

    The Mavericks led the Kings by 13 points 66-53 in the first half, including a 41-25 score in the second quarter.

    In the second half, the Kings first chased 38-25 in a single quarter.The danger of committing a foul not only made Ben Wallace calm down, but also confirmed one thing - the referee should not dare to blow him off.

    So, after 5 fouls, he still defends himself as he should!

    Moreover, when he was about to be sent off for another foul, his defense became even more effective!

    Parker, who was chasing behind Fisher, grabbed the ball. If Fisher is as flexible and cunning as a fish, then Parker is the speed dominant swordfish among fish!

    Parker rushed to the frontcourt, took off one step outside the reasonable collision zone, flew, tomahawkthrow

    Hit!

    107 to 100, the SuperSonics opened the point difference to 7 points!

    With 1 minute and 29 seconds left, the score difference reached 7 points again!

    The Lakers side didn't call a timeout.

    Carlisle sat down. In this situation, he didn¡¯t know what to do after calling a timeout. If there was a dead ball, he would just do the rotation he should have.

    When the Lakers attack, Payton misses a long two-point shot from outside. The referee's whistle blows. Jason Williams fouls on a rebound. O'Neal gets two free throws!

    O¡¯Neal, who has already made 13 of 19 free throws and scored 41 points, made two free throws this time!

    When the Sonics attack, Zhang Hao catches the ball from the top of the arc and feints a shot, breaks through and is called for a walk!

    Zhang Hao stopped his feet, played with dribbling under his crotch, walked to the referee Donaghy, held the ball with one hand, Donaghy reached for it, Zhang Hao raised the ball, turned his hand over, and let go

    The ball fell from behind Donaghy's head.

    Donaghy looked at Zhang Hao in astonishment, and saw Zhang Hao smiling and saying: "There are 58 seconds left, hurry up and call us a foul."

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s back as he turned around and ran back, Donaghy wanted to give him a technical foul, but the deathly silent court was like a nightmare!

    The performance of the SuperSonics in such a situation where the rhythm of the game was hit, the emotions were angered, and the situation was extremely unfavorable was far more terrifying than Donaghy imagined!

    Zhang Hao scored 12 points in the final quarter, Jordan scored 4 points in the final quarter, and others scored 6 points The Sonics made two free throws in the final quarter, and Zhang Hao made 1 of 2 free throws That is, the Sonics made 11 of 19 shots in the final quarter, including three-pointers.  1 of 2, plus 1 of 1 free throw, scored 24 points!

    Donaghy was already stunned when he arrived at the back!  Seeing that the Lakers were trailing by 5 points, they immediately took control of the field But no matter how many free throws they gave the Lakers, the Sonics would score next!

    At first, he thought that if he blew it too much at the beginning of the fourth quarter, it would not be so obvious later on and he could hide it well.

    If that¡¯s the case, even if someone says he blew the whistle afterwards, there is still something to refute.

    But things developed completely beyond his expectations!

    Looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s back, Donaghy recalled his outrageous call in the fourth quarter ¡®It¡¯s over!  ¡¯

    When the Lakers attack Pierce begins to waste time controlling the ball in the top arc.

    The other Lakers players also stood still, and O'Neal stood directly in the three-second zone and could not come out.

    Don¡¯t say that the referee is desperate, even if he still looks for a chance to blow the whistle In this case, he can only blow O'Neal for three seconds!

    The long whistle soundedthe Lakers had an offensive violation in 24 seconds!

    When the Sonics attack, they are naturally pressed for time. Jordan holds the ball from the top of the arc and controls it well. Payton wants to defend, but finally gives up. Jordan adjusts with 3 seconds left and shoots from the top of the archit!

    110 to 100, the SuperSonics lead by 10 points, with 10 seconds left to seal the victory!

    On the Lakers' last attack, when Fisher advanced, Pierce and O'Neal had already turned and walked to the bench. On the sideline, they encountered the referee running towards the frontcourt As if they didn't see it, the two walked straight away.  Going up, Donaghy quickly dodged, but was still staggered by Pierce

    The live camera focused on the cruise fleet group who picked up their training clothes and walked to the player tunnel when they arrived on the bench. The final whistle sounded

    Relying on Zhang Hao's 40 points, Jordan's 24 points, and Cassell, Artest, and Ben Wallace's average of 6 fouls, the SuperSonics defeated the Lakers 110-100 away from home, advancing to the Western Conference 4-2.  Decide!

    The moment the final whistle sounded, reporters immediately rushed into the court and surrounded Zhang Hao.

    The live broadcast shot also quickly cut to Zhang Hao. In the group of reporters, there was a reporter from the TV station that was the source of the live broadcast, holding a microphone.

    The fans at the scene had already left a lot after the Lakers protested. At this moment there was sporadic applause!

    The reporters around were chattering and asking questions, but Zhang Hao ignored them, whistled at the camera, and then made gestures of counting money with his hands

 Chapter 523 523. The one who fell was actually the school beauty (6000 words please subscribe)

    The SuperSonics actually won!

    You can actually win in that situation!

    Zhang Hao scored 12 points in the final quarter. The fans in front of the TV cursed the referee's call and were shocked at the same time!

    In this game, the Sonics won a heart-wrenching victory.

    5 versus 8?  Then 5 versus 8!

    I¡¯ll still win for you!

    And Zhang Hao¡¯s action after the game

    It implies that the league is manipulating the game in order to get more ticket money for an XO game?

    Everything in the fourth quarter of this game triggered a frenzy of public opinion!

    Because of the Sonics' calmness, tenacity, unwillingness, and tenacity, Tim Donaghy's field-control whistle was very eye-catching.

    ¡°Blowing a black whistle is not much different from the emotional changes during theft or robbery. When you start doing it, you will be accompanied by a surge of adrenaline and blood, and you will lose your basic judgment ability.

    When Tim Donaghy calmed down, he realized how impressive his field control was, but it was already too late. It was too late.

    NBA officials encountered overwhelming criticism immediately after the game. Major TV stations and websites were all attacking NBA officials.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    As a result, a much-anticipated XO battle, in which the NBA officially divided millions of dollars for each game, plunged the NBA into a bigger crisis than after the 911 terrorist attacks when no one came out to watch the game and the fans stayed at home without money to pay to watch the live broadcast.  Dilemma!

    It¡¯s not just public opinion. After the game, SuperSonics owner Howard Schultz announced that he would suspend official cooperation with the NBA and indefinitely suspend discounts on NBA ticket stubs other than Sonics tickets at Starbucks.

    Howard Schultz publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the whistleblowing in this game and praised his players' tenacity when facing unfair whistleblowing during the game.

    This is okay, people expected it.

    Lakers executive vice president of business affairs Jenny Buss posted a paragraph on her blog. To sum up, the meaning is - when a group of people who are fighting tenaciously fall into a manipulated situation, it is not just justice that is destroyed,  And the dignity of a person who could have earned respect by his own efforts.

    Unlike Howard Schultz who dared to directly confront the NBA, the Lakers could only insinuate it, and the Lakers only expressed their views on this matter after the direction of public opinion was completely clear

    But they all pulled the NBA into a more violent whirlpool of public opinion!

    The target of the attack is naturally directed at NBA President David Stern!

    At this time, some people are also worried about whether Zhang Hao, who made such blunt hints and mocked the NBA after the game, will run into trouble

    O¡¯Neal and Pierce¡¯s action of hitting Donaghy didn¡¯t matter if they were fined or even suspended, but Zhang Hao was a little too crazy in the last 58 seconds of the game.

    However, at this time, NBA officials no longer care about how to deal with Zhang Hao's matter

    ¡­¡­

    David Stern is going crazy!

    This time, it¡¯s really not him!

    "Stu, what do these people think? Am I going to cause trouble for Akers and Jordan for the ticket share of a game? Cause trouble for myself? Cause trouble for the NBA, which has finally stabilized the market?

    I wish the Sonics could sweep all the way to the Finals"

    Roaring and roaring, David Stern began to curse.

    Americans, white people, their qualities don¡¯t exist.

    Stu Jackson is sweating now. He knows what David Stern is thinking - it doesn't matter whether the champion is the Sonics, but it is important that the Sonics reach the end.

    When it comes to intervening in the xo war, Stu Jackson and David Stern have the same idea. If they really want to intervene, the only situation is if the Sonics cannot beat the Lakers, they may intervene.

    The United States is in a troubled time. The impact of the September 11 terrorist attacks has not dissipated for a long time. Those who print money are ready to open the floodgates and cut interest rates to spread money.

    Although the NBA has stabilized in the latter part of the season and at least it will not lose money this year, it still needs a strong team to support its appearance.

    The first choice must be the God Buddha, which has exploded in popularity in both the United States and overseas markets.

    After David Stern cursed for a while, he gradually calmed down and asked, "Stu, was it his idea?"

    Stu Jackson, who was thinking about other things, was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and responded: "It should be so."

    "Why is he so short-sighted? For a gameThere were rumors yesterday that Adam Silva was behind this incident, but it was just a rumor, and now it is basically confirmed.

    Many details quickly spread out - Tim Donaghy was addicted to gambling and manipulated the game many times. Adam Silva discovered this and did not report it. Instead, he wanted to recruit him into his "group of staff" and tried to take advantage of him.  Manipulate the game to achieve some goals, and Tim Donaghy can also use these games to make profits, and he has the support of the league's vice president

    Things have taken a clear direction so quickly, and the NBA's shock has quickly stabilized.

    "But things are happening so fast, some people will inevitably have doubts, but the general direction has been set.

    ¡­¡­

    At 7:30 in the evening, the warm-up is completed, and there are still a few minutes to enter the court. The Western Conference Finals is about to begin.

    Seeing that Zhang Hao had finished warming up, Jason Williams approached Zhang Hao: "Akers, have you seen it? In order to compete for the position of president, Adam Silva developed a small circle at the top of the league and manipulated the game.  Nashe is the person under him. After the incident, he wanted to put the blame on Stu Jackson and David Stern to increase his chances of becoming NBA president. Now, they will all suffer.  Many people may face imprisonment, and Adam Silva is likely to be arrested. I don¡¯t think he can continue to stay in the sports circle, let alone running for president.¡±

    When Zhang Hao heard this, he couldn't help but burst out: "You deserve it!"

    "Well¡­¡­"

    "Ahem," Zhang Hao calmed down and said, "I mean, gambling is a no-no. Look, what a miserable outcome it will be. Cherish your life and stay away from gambling!"

    "oh¡­¡­"

    Jason Williams always felt that Zhang Hao was not talking about Tim Donaghy, but he didn¡¯t know why.

    Zhang Hao's side'I really didn't expect that that night, I felt so unhappy that I fucked the school belle and laid her down?  ¡¯

 Chapter 524 524. King of the Western Conference Part 1 (9000 words, please vote for me)

    "Zhang'er Station, Zhuang'er Station, welcome viewers and friends to watch the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Seattle Supersonics and the Sacramento Kings brought to you by the Zhuang'er Station Sports Channel. Shi Fo and King have reached the end of the Western Conference.  The winner, the Western Conference champion, will compete with the Eastern Conference champion for the championship. Whether it is the SuperSonics or the Kings, they have an advantage against the Bulls and 76ers. Can Stone Buddha win the championship again? Or can the monkey escape from Wuzhi Mountain? Or the King  Can the Fab Five reach the top of the NBA? Or can Kobe dominate the world"

    ??The fans in front of the domestic TV silently pressed the mute button

    With Zhang Weiping¡¯s adjectives, why do domestic fans feel that the adjectives used by No. 24, who does not want to be named, are always more gorgeous?

    Isn¡¯t it said that Zhang Weiping and Stone Buddha are relatives?  How do you feel that you are related to another number 24?

    The live broadcast of the Chaoting Channel switched to the scene, and the fans quickly turned up the volume. The Chaoting Channel was conducting a pre-match interview with Zhang Hao.

    "Shi Fo, you have 2 wins and 2 losses against the Kings in the regular season. Are you confident that you can lead the team to defeat them?"

    "I hope they can last two more games. I like playing against them."

    "You are always so confident. You have your own advantages when playing against the Kings in the regular season. When it comes to the Western Conference Finals, do you have any tricks? Can you reveal it?"

    "Trick? I, I'm in very good shape now, better than ever."

    "Haha, I'm looking forward to Shi Fo's performance in this Western Conference Finals. I wish you a good performance Audience friends, Shi Fo is the number one player in the league and the defending champion SuperSonics before the start of the playoffs.  Their strength ranking is first in the league, but the Kings¡¯ strength ranking is also among the top three. They have the strongest team offensive ability in the league and the top five team defensive ability in the league. This is bound to be a fierce Western Conference finals"

    Su Qun began to make his final analysis to the fans. He liked interviewing Zhang Hao so much.

    Wang Zhizhi, after arriving in the United States at the age of 18, although his personality became more cheerful, he was still bored during interviews.

    Yao Ming, who is about to enter the NBA, is humble and restrained.

    There¡¯s nothing wrong with it, it¡¯s very traditional.

    But if there is someone like Zhang Hao, then let¡¯s interview Zhang Hao. Unlike other media who want to beat people up when interviewing Zhang Hao, Su Qun just likes this tone.

    ?Compared to the shock in the American basketball world and the black whistle in the NBA, domestic fans were watching the fun and more touting the performance of gods and Buddhas. In the last quarter, the two men led the team and won the 5-on-8 game.

    The basketball world in the United States is in turmoil. SuperSonics fans and Zhang Hao fans are more showing off, not as noisy as Lakers fans.

    From the perspective of Lakers fans, too many whistles actually ruined the overall state of the Lakers. With their performance in the third quarter, they can at least give it a try.

    When they got to the court, Zhang Hao and his teammates didn¡¯t think about what happened in the previous round. No matter what, they had won. Next, they had to work hard to continue winning!

    At 7:28 pm, the two teams started the game.

    The Kings sent out a starting lineup of Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Weber, and Wang Zhizhi.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting lineup of Cassell, Jordan, Artest, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace.

    Bibby, Doug Christie, and Wang Zhizhi have all played with Zhang Hao, and they are all extremely eager to defeat Zhang Hao.

    The stages are different. Bibby was before he graduated from high school, Doug Christie was in the early stages of Zhang Hao's career, and Wang Zhizhi was a teammate of the national team.

    Peja, Yugoslavia¡¯s hot-tempered man, Weber, one of the new ¡®four power forwards¡¯.

    For the opposing five-man team, the Sonics are under a lot of pressure. They did not have a clear advantage in any game during the regular season, and they were basically evenly matched.

    At 7:30, the game started.

    Ben Wallace easily beat Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball, and the SuperSonics attacked first!

    It¡¯s been so long since they¡¯ve had a first attack, and the Sonics are still a bit unaccustomed to it. Jordan and Artest subconsciously pulled back.

    Ben Wallace noticed this detail when he landed, and he felt so aggrieved - are you serious about taking a step back?

    Zhang Hao's side

    ¡°The King of the Western Conference Finals (Bronze) is triggered. Zhang Hao¡¯s physical condition, shooting status, etc. are all in his best condition in this Western Conference Finals.¡±

    Cassel received the ball, advanced to the frontcourt amidst the boos of the fans, and passed it to Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao received the ball high on the right side of the free throw line with Weber, turned around and took a step forward. When Weber retreated, Doug Christie let Jordan pass, and Peja and Weber formed a zone defense.sp; ¡­¡­

    ? 9:31 pm, two hours have passed since the start of the game.

    Most of the main players of both teams are sitting on the bench.

    On one side, entering a state of carnival, Jason Williams, Dell Curry, and Jordan were all twisting.

    On the other side, they are lifeless and confused. Their mood cannot be called depression

    The scene was extremely quiet.

    It¡¯s just that unlike every time the Heat are about to lose, most of the seats are empty. 95% of the fans are still waiting for the game to end, but they really don¡¯t have any motivation to cheer or boo.

    At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Kings scored 88 points, a very good offensive performance, accounting for half of the 40 points in the first quarter

    On the opposite side, 117 points in three quarters

    Zhang Hao scored 34 points, 10 rebounds, 20 assists, 6 steals and 5 blocks in three quarters!

    In terms of shooting, Zhang Hao only made 20 successful shots, making 13 of 20 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 34 points.

    But 20 assists in three quarters

    Kidd worked hard to get 20 assists after double overtime, and Zhang Hao only spent three quarters.

    Mainly because the Kings never expected Zhang Hao to be in such ridiculously good condition!

    If they are prepared, they can do better.

    The preparations they made are actually not bad. They prepared based on Zhang Hao's 40-point performance in a single game in the G6 between the Supersonics and the Lakers.

    But Zhang Hao has achieved the best in terms of shot selection, shooting rhythm, physical condition, control of physical condition, judgment and selection of offensive lines, physical distributionetc.!

    This is definitely a state in which you can achieve the highest score in your career as long as you don¡¯t attack endlessly!

    Originally, Kings players felt that Zhang Hao could only perform as well as Jordan did during his first four championships, which was a high compliment.

    In terms of strength, the Kings believe that Jordan at his peak is still stronger than Zhang Hao, who is only 25 years old.

    It certainly looked like that in the second round.

    But now I¡¯m not so sure¡­

    In the final quarter, with the Sonics leading by 29 points, Parker, Steve Smith, Dell Curry, Kirilenko, Ewing, Jason Williams, and Anthony Mason Jr. came on the bench.  The coaching staff regrets a bit. They had known that it would have been a good thing to put Chandler on the active list and let Ewing wear a suit. The rookie King of Fighters went up to the Western Conference Finals to play against the Kings substitutes.

    The SuperSonics played very casually in the final quarter, making the opponent so angry that they would have wanted to fight if they hadn't seen Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace sitting on the sidelines.

    The Sonics only scored 16 points in the final quarter and were beaten 30-16 by the Kings.

    However, relying on Zhang Hao¡¯s super triple-double + 5 times 5 performance in the three quarters, the Sonics still slaughtered the Kings 133-118 and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals!

 Chapter 525 525. The true king of the Western Conference!  (12,000 words please vote)

    It was promised that the Western Conference finals would be evenly matched, and it was promised that the winner might not be decided until the last game But after the first game, the Sonics were going to sweep it all!

    In the first game, the Kings had almost no power to fight back and were defeated by Zhang Hao alone!

    ? 34+10+20+6+5 performance with only 4 turnovers

    This performance could not be more brutal!

    All major media in the United States are hyping this game. Of course, each media has different directions.

    A columnist for the Chicago Union News said in his article: "The Kings reacted too nervously and made a lot of unnecessary double attacks, which allowed Gentleman to get so many assists, and the Kings collapsed."

    Kings star Big O responded in an interview: "They probably forgot how the 76 points appeared."

    ???More media are regretting that if the Kings' defensive reaction was not so fierce, Zhang Hao might be able to break the historical record of 63 points set by Jordan in the second-year playoffs.

    The super triple-double of 30+10+20 is very shocking.

    Some people also noticed Zhang Hao's performance of 6 steals and 5 blocks.

    Some professional fans focused on analyzing Zhang Hao's performance on the defensive end and found that Zhang Hao displayed extraordinary concentration, judgment, and execution on the defensive end.

    Then let¡¯s observe Zhang Hao¡¯s shooting, passing, etc.

    In the end, these fans were dumbfounded by the analysis - if it is based on Zhang Hao's physical condition, basic shooting skills, skills, as well as his own team's lineup, his own team's state, as well as the opponents he faces, the opponent's state and other factors  ¡­

    They can hardly imagine how Zhang Hao can do better!

    The conclusion drawn from the analysis of these fans is that Zhang Hao performed perfectly in the first game of the Western Conference Finals!

    A player's perfect performance in the gamegenerally refers to a certain player who performed wonderfully and led the team to victory.

    But compared with Zhang Hao¡¯s game, people discovered that what they thought was a ¡®perfect performance¡¯ was nothing more than an outstanding performance.

    The Internet era has arrived, and soon, these fans¡¯ analysis posts were circulated on the Internet

    Zhang Hao's "perfect performance" in the first game of the Western Conference Finals became the hottest topic in this game, even more popular than the super triple-double and 5 times 5!

    ?? 30+10+20 triple-double, 5 times 5, you can always find similar performances.

    But the most powerful ¡®perfect performance¡¯ in history, this gimmick is different and more topical!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°Inside supremacy:

    Goal 1: In the next Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao's total assists must be higher than Chris Webber.  (Zhang Hao¡¯s total assists: 20, Chris Webber¡¯s total assists: 6, to be completed.)

    Goal 2: In the next Western Conference Finals, the total score of Zhang Hao and the starting center center must be higher than the total score of Chris Webber and Wang Zhizhi.  (The total score of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace: 40 points, the total score of Chris Webber and Wang Zhizhi: 43 points, to be completed.)

    Goal 3: In the next Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao needs to lead the team to eliminate the Kings.  (Big score: SuperSonics 1-0 Kings, to be completed)

    ¡­¡±

    ¡®Webber scored 26 points in the first game, and Zhizhi scored 17 points. Damn, the game was ruined too early. I really can¡¯t figure out what kind of magical play Big Ben used to only score 6 points in such a game.

    How long has Big Jia been fighting?  10 minutes, others scored 7 points in 10 minutes!  Only scored 6 points after playing 25 minutesBanana, you guava!

    In the final quarter, you should let him go up and brush him for four or five points!  ¡¯

    Zhang Hao¡¯s ability to score points in Ben Wallace¡¯s garbage time is only so high.

    ¡®It turns out that the best state is like this¡­ It¡¯s really good, even dribbling feels so good. This must be an illusion¡­ Anyway, it¡¯s very good. Bronze level king of the Western Conference finals is so good, silver level?  Gold level?  Will I be in such good shape at the gold level that I can lead Garnett and his teammates to beat any opponent in the Western Conference Finals?  ¡¯

    I can¡¯t help but fall into my imagination

    'Don't be careless. The title of King of the Western Conference Finals is very powerful, but it only allows me to play my best. It will not bring about changes in shooting ability, technical ability, and physical fitness. That is to say, the opponent did not expect all aspects of my state.  To be so good, I panicked after I scored 21 points in the first quarter'

    'The feel is only good, not hot. In the middle of the second quarter, I planned to use Kobe's time, but the consecutive hits were interrupted in the middle. If the opponent's defense can really cause effective interference, my shooting will still be greatly affected.  Influence.

    In other words, whether it feels hot or not depends on luck No??After all, I still didn¡¯t make it through May.

    On the 28th, the Kings finally played "spiritually" in G4 as Bill Walton said. In fact, it was just throwing. With good luck, they scored 114 points in a single game, which coincided with the Sonics' wing pitcher catching and shooting.  Not a good job. Dell Curry, Steve Smith, Ewing, and Artest combined to make 2 of 10 three-pointers. The Kings won the Sonics 114-105.

    But on the 30th, g5, the Kings were still playing blindly, trying to get another chance.

    But when it comes to this kind of thing, the Kings don't have players who are really explosive in scoring, so how can they go berserk again and again like Kobe Bryant did last year.

    Playing against the Sonics, who have Zhang Hao's stable "strongest output", the Kings tried to be reckless for the second time The Sonics played away from home and beat the Kings 111-92, 4-1, easily advancing to the finals!

    In the second half of the final quarter, Zhang Hao sat on the bench, watching Chandler and Kirilenko play together in the paint Chandler was finally put on the active list and played for the first time in the Western Conference Finals

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt.

    ¡°Inside supremacy:

    Goal 1: In the next Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao's total assists must be higher than Chris Webber.  (Zhang Hao¡¯s total assists: 46, Chris Webber¡¯s total assists: 36, completed.)

    Goal 2: In the next Western Conference Finals, the total score of Zhang Hao and the starting center center must be higher than the total score of Chris Webber and Wang Zhizhi.  (The total score of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace: 213 points, the total score of Chris Webber and Wang Zhizhi: 183 points, completed.)

    Goal 3: In the next Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao needs to lead the team to eliminate the Kings.  (Big score: SuperSonics 4-1 Kings, completed.)

    Congratulations to the host for obtaining the designated medal restricted area hegemony silver upgrade card.  "

    Webber had a total of 16 assists in g4 and g5, mainly 11 assists in g4, with a performance of 24 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. The Kings made accurate shots, and Webb naturally had more assists.

    In terms of scoring, Weber scored 24 points in g4, Wang Zhizhi scored 18 points in g4, Zhang Hao scored 33 points in g4, and Ben Wallace scored 5 points in g4; Weber scored 14 points in g5, and Wang Zhizhi scored 20 points in g5; Zhang Hao  g5 scored 41 points, and Ben Wallace scored 4 points in g5.

    ?Added 4-1 promotion.

    Mission accomplished!

    After receiving the reward, Zhang Hao immediately received the second system prompt.

    "The host has obtained the designated medal, the restricted area hegemony silver upgrade card, which has been used automatically. Congratulations to the host, the designated medal: restricted area hegemony has been upgraded from bronze to silver level."

    ¡°Zhang Hao Domination (Silver) (Exclusive for Zhang Hao): When Zhang Hao shoots within a 6-foot radius (1.82 meters) from the center of the basket, it is always easier to find the shooting feeling.¡±

    Zhang Hao glanced at the three-second zone. The radius was 1.8 meters, which basically covered the entire reasonable collision zone!

    This applicable range is much larger than the original area of ??less than two meters in diameter!

    Basically, when you reach the edge of the three-second zone, take a big step or enter the three-second zone and take a jump step, you will enter the range where it is easy to find the feeling of shooting!

    ¡®Hey, I¡¯ve never tried it before. What would it feel like to shoot from behind the backboard?

    ¡°Uh¡­ let¡¯s forget it, it¡¯s considered out of bounds if it hits the shelf behind the backboard¡­¡¯

 Chapter 526 526. Coming!  Opponent, the Bulls!  (11,000 words please vote)

    In 5 games of the Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao averaged 36.4 points per game!

    ?? Two games of 40+, one game of 30+10+20+5+5, an invincible performance

    "It's like risking your life for us to play in the conference finals, that bastard!"

    Kobe Bryant watched the end of G5 of the Western Conference Finals, and watched Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in the 5 games of the Western Conference Finals on TV, and felt so bad.

    Yesterday, they returned home to play the Battle of Tianwangshan with the 76ers, and finally defeated the 76ers 94-88, making the score 3-2 and gaining match point.

    In every game, Kobe and his teammates fight each other to the death.

    In every round, Kobe and his teammates went all out, falling behind a little bit in their career, leading to a total loss.

    But on the other side

    "How can they play as easily as they did in the preseason?"

    McGrady listened to Kobe's complaints and responded: "Shifo's condition is so good. His condition seems to have not fluctuated throughout the Western Conference Finals. He has always been in the best condition. If you can perform like last night in every game, we can too.  It was easy to beat the 76ers, but that state of affairs is so rare.¡±

    Last night, Kobe had his best personal performance in this year's playoffs, shooting 16 of 28 from the field, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, plus 11 of 13 free throws, scoring a season playoff high of 46 points.

    The 76ers defended very well, but Kobe's rampage. Even with Duncan and Mutombo behind Duncan, the 76ers couldn't control Kobe's rampage.

    Kobe was annoyed and said angrily: "Tracy, are you blaming me for my poor condition?"

    "" McGrady was speechless, did he mean that?  He was just answering why the Sonics won so easily.

    ??????????? If it were someone else, they would have started a quarrel with Kobe.

    McGrady didn¡¯t, he comforted: ¡°If you get better, you won¡¯t lose to Shi Fo, I know.¡±

    This is more or less Kobe put aside the matter of status and asked: "My child is about to be born. What gift do you think Akers will give my child?"

    "?" McGrady couldn't keep up with Kobe's thinking. Why did the topic change so quickly?

    But he still responded: "Vanessa is only 4 months pregnant, right? Your child won't be born until the beginning of next season. Are you considering accepting gifts now?"

    Kobe rolled his eyes: "He gave birth to three children. Including birthdays, I spent hundreds of thousands on gifts."

    McGrady couldn't help but complain: "A gift of hundreds of thousands? Is it made of gold?"

    Kobe nodded and replied: "Yes, most of the gifts are gold products."

    ""

    McGrady feels that these people can¡¯t be offended. When he returns home from playing G6 in the away game tomorrow, he will add $10 in oil pressure to his car.

    The SuperSonics players have an indescribable feeling in this Western Conference Finals.

    ¡°If I have to describe it, it¡¯s¡ª¡®The Western Conference Finals just passed¡¯

    Jordan has had the experience of sweeping his opponents in two conference finals.

    "However, even the two sweeps never gave Jordan such a feeling.

    Although the SuperSonics lost one game in the Western Conference Finals, overall, Jordan did not feel real pressure. Starting from G1, Zhang Hao made the game stress-free.

    As the top player in NBA history, maybe even one of them will not be used for the time being.

    Jordan knows very well that even if Zhang Hao plays so well in G1 and leads the team to ravage the Kings, the most important thing is that the overall strength of their SuperSonics team is there. Zhang Hao is in good condition and drives everything forward.

    But the whole series felt like that. When I saw Zhang Hao get the ball in every game, I felt like, 'Oh, we are going to win again.'

    Even if g4 loses, it won¡¯t put any pressure on the Sonics. It¡¯s 3-0, so why worry

    In the end, as expected, g5 won easily.

    Even Jordan experienced a conference finals that he never imagined.

    There is nothing to analyze in the entire Western Conference Finals, it is just a win.

    But the impact on subsequent competitions will definitely be huge!

    The SuperSonics coaching staff is also preparing in this direction.

    Although we are not sure who the opponent is yet, there are some things that are clear.

    June 1st, a new month has arrived, and today is the game day between the Bulls and the 76ers in G6.

    After a day¡¯s rest, the Sonics players gathered at Key Arena for pre-finals meetings and training.

    Zhang Hao, a non-staff member of the SuperSonics coaching staff, chaired the meeting and took the lead in speaking.

    ¡°We are not sure yet who the opponent will be, and the 76ers may complete the turnaround.??, in the early stage of the finals, at least the first game is very important!

    He guessed that although the opponent would definitely be wary of his performance in the Western Conference Finals, the opponent was still a Finals team and coached by Larry Brown, a defensive master, so he would definitely not act recklessly.

    But he needs to make the other party think that he is still in that state!

    With good luck and sufficient preparation, Zhang Hao made his first shot from the start, facing the defense and hitting the three-pointer from the sideline with almost no room for adjustment!

    ¡­¡­

    I have a cold and a low fever, no wonder I felt so uncomfortable from yesterday to this morning.

    I asked for leave to see a doctor, took medicine, and took a nap. I felt much better in the afternoon. This was probably because Chengdu had not been so diligent in changing into thicker clothes when the temperature dropped in recent days.

    When I went to the clinic, they didn't accept me. I went to the hospital for a separate cold and fever clinic first. I spent 60 yuan to do a nucleic acid test and found out that I didn't have an infection. My heart ached It's definitely a good thing that I didn't have an infection, but when it comes to seeing a doctor, I always feel like I'm at a loss if I don't get tested.  Okay, please give me some monthly tickets to recommend and help with relief~

 Chapter 527 527. Michael Jordan forever!  (11,000 words, please vote for me!)

    Although the Bulls did not conduct an off-ball attack on Zhang Hao, they only did not conduct an off-ball attack on Zhang Hao who ran outside the three-point line. If Malone followed suit and extended outside the three-point line, then the 76ers defense would have no choice.  Done.

    Just as Zhang Hao thought, the 76ers were really testing Zhang Hao's starting status.

    Kobe did a really good job switching defense this time. I can count on both hands the number of defenders in the league who were able to interfere with Zhang Hao's catch-and-shoot shot after the pick-and-roll without the ball just now while switching defense in place.  Come on, this is just about bullet speed and jumping height combined with height and wingspan. First of all, you have to switch defenses and be able to follow up.

    This season¡¯s All-Defensive Team defender received third votes, and the Best Defensive Player vote was third. Kobe¡¯s defense just now was really good.

    But, even so, Zhang Hao still made the ball!

    ??Although strong casting relies on personal ability and luck, it means that Zhang Hao has a good touch!

    The 76ers don¡¯t dare to bet on Zhang Hao¡¯s status. In the last round, the Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao averaged 36+ per game and shot 62% from the field!

    This magical performance, in the past 10 years, only three players have performed similarly in a series.

    Jordan has three times. He played the Lakers in the 1991 Finals, the Heat in the first round of 1992, and the Suns in the 1993 Finals.

    Olajuwon had it once, when he played David Robinson in the 1994 Western Conference Finals.

    O'Neal has done it three times. He played the Suns in the second round of 2000, the Suns in the second round of 2001, and the Lakers played the Clippers in the first round of the season that just ended.

    And Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in this year¡¯s Western Conference Finals is even more exaggerated than these people look. The most important thing is that Zhang Hao performed like that less than a week ago!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s goal turned the game into an uncontrollable situation from the beginning.

    Larry Brown is excellent in building a defensive system, strategic planning on the defensive end, and on-the-spot adjustments on the defensive end.

    The defensive strategy he deployed this time was mainly to follow up with Zhang Hao, and always keep a defensive player who can cause interference in front of Zhang Hao.

    But when it comes to execution, it¡¯s different.

    Larry Brown is very calm when formulating strategic plans, but the players on the court cannot be calm!

    An opponent who can easily score 40+ points, who can score more than 80 points in the regular season, and most people even think that if he is in good shape, he can break Jordan's historical record of 63 points in the playoffs. He just played a god-level Western Conference.  After the finals, the first shot in the first game of the finals was hit despite interference

    Usually, it is Larry Brown's poor offensive command that traps the players, and they can only rely on defense, Kobe or Malone's singles to support them.

    This time, Larry Brown made the right decision, but his players cheated him.

    No matter what Larry Brown yells on the sidelines, the players on the court want to restrict Zhang Hao from catching the ball. Zhang Hao is so big, and the explosive confrontation with his elbow and the weight-reduced Malone are not at a disadvantage for him. They have to prevent him from catching the ball alone.  It's almost impossible, so the two of them will surround each other

    Larry Brown never expected that the regional flanking and pseudo-zone defense he taught would be used by his players to restrict one person from the other team from receiving the ball.

    Cassell took over the ball decisively and directed his teammates to change their playing style. Ben Wallace went to pick and roll Jordan without the ball, and Artest cut in The one who benefited the most was Jordan, who played particularly aggressively tonight!

    In the first quarter, Jordan scored 11 points in a single quarter, Cassel scored 6 points and 4 assists, and led the team to 32 points in a single quarter!

    With the Bulls in disarray on the defensive end, they chose to attack against Biao, and their performance was relatively average.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As tall buildings rise from the ground, and the bulls attack by themselves.

    The Sonics' starting lineup played the entire first quarter, and the Sonics' starting five have a higher defensive efficiency than the 76ers!

    Zhang Hao protects the frame, Ben Wallace sweeps up, Artest defends in the top arc area, Jordan is always ready to help Artest or Ben Wallace to defend and cut in, Cassel attacks in the area

    This playoffs is mainly a two-round series against the Lakers and Kings. It is obvious that Artest and Ben Wallace have improved on the defensive end.

    Artest is okay, a genius and young.

    But when Ben Wallace played against the Kings after playing the Lakers, he could see improvement on the defensive end. By the time he reached the Finals, he was still improving

    "Ben Wallace, 27 years old, 206 cm (?), 110 kg, ability evaluation 84, offense 55, defense 100"

    Originally, before the Western Conference Finals, Ben Wallace's defensive evaluation was the same as Garnett's, tied for the best that Zhang Hao had seen.

    But after the Western Conference Finals, Ben Wallace became the first god-level defensive leader Zhang Hao saw whose defensive evaluation was off the charts!

    In the first quarter, the SuperSonics??, but it¡¯s incredible that I have gained fans again.

    Kobe, who was frustrated and angry to the extreme, slapped his face and left the court without responding to the fans

    Soon, the post-match celebration time ended and the award ceremony began.

    David Stern and Bill Russell came to the court.

    If the Bulls can make a comeback, David Stern will be happy. If he can't, it doesn't matter Anyway, he will sell one more game tickets.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, I declare that the NBA championship of the 2001-2002 season isthe Seattle SuperSonics!"

    After receiving the trophy, each Sonics player took turns raising the trophy for the cameraman to take pictures. This is a scene that only occurs when winning the championship. Several veterans burst into tears again

    After the trophy was circulated around, it returned to Jordan's hands. Zhang Hao consciously took a step forward

    ??Averaging 26 points, 13.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game, as well as a Double 20 performance. Although Zhang Hao's performance in the finals was the 'worst' among the four finals, he was still worthy of FMVP.

    Finally, David Stern continued to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations again to the Sonics for winning the championship. I announce that the winner of the 2001-2002 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award is"

    Zhang Hao is already ready to wave

    I just heard David Stern play the tail tone for a while and then say: "Michael Jordan!"

    The data of Jordan's 6 games were displayed on the big screen. In terms of scoring, 42 points, 24 points, 20 points, 24 points, 26 points, 20 points, averaging 26 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals per game 44.6% of field goals.  rate, 30.8% three-point shooting rate

    Not to mention Zhang Hao's embarrassment, Jordan, who was holding the O'Brien Cup, was stunned.

    Everyone at the scene was surprised. The fans who were getting up and leaving stopped in their tracks.

    Zhang Hao reacted the fastest, smiled, took a step back, took the O'Brien Cup from Jordan's hand, stepped forward holding Jordan's shoulders, and then retreated to his teammates.

    At this time, others also reacted

    Although Jordan also averaged 26 points per game, almost no one regarded him as a candidate for the Finals MVP. If the Sonics won, it would be Zhang Hao, and if the Bulls won, it would be Kobe.

    This is the consensus of people.

    It doesn¡¯t matter what other people think, the fans at the scene burst into crazy cheers again!

    When Jordan received the FMVP trophy from Bill Russell, he was stunned.

    Even though he has won FMVP 4 times, he is still confused this time.

    Zhang Hao stepped forward again, holding Jordan's shoulder with his right hand and raising the O'Brien Cup with his left hand.

    Jordan finally came to his senses, reached up and put his arm around Zhang Hao's shoulders, and raised the FMVP trophy with his right hand.

    The away team won the championship, and the fans cheered when the away team lifted the trophy This scene was the first time!

    Reporters quickly gathered around and asked questions.

    This ending was unexpected by everyone!

    Zhang Hao silently gave up his seat, and Jordan took the microphone handed over by the staff. He kept sighing, shaking his head, smiling bitterly, and then smiled from the bottom of his heart It was like changing his face.

    Several minutes passed. After Jordan took deep breaths, he picked up the microphone and put it to his mouth: "Once, I never thought I would leave this city, but I did in the end. Fortunately, I have such a good relationship at this age.  A great group of teammates, two fantastic seasons, and for me it was a very important part of my career and I enjoyed it.

    "I didn't make up my mind originally, but now, I have decided to stop here. From now on, there will be no Michael Jordan in the NBA.  "

    After saying that, Jordan turned around and handed the microphone to Zhang Hao, squeezed through the crowd holding the unexpected FMVP trophy, and walked towards the player tunnel.

    The fans at the scene were shouting "No", "Don't do this", "Suppress"

    The reporters were shocked again. FMVP was actually Jordan Jordan actually retired on the spot!

    The reporters who reacted wanted to follow up with Jordan, but Jordan ignored him and walked straight into the player tunnel without looking back.

    The reporters could only turn around and surround the confused Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Hao didn't react for a while. After a while, he picked up the microphone. At this moment, the scene quickly became quiet. Bulls fans also wanted to hear what Zhang Hao had to say.

    "It's too sudden. Mr. Jordan got the FMVP. I'm happy for him, but everything is too sudden. I don't know if this is the final decision Michael Jordan, the best in history!"

 Chapter 528 528. The free market has never been easier (12,000 words, please vote)

    Michael Jordan announced his retirement 5 minutes after winning the FMVP. The sensation caused was not limited to the NBA, but was a major event in the entire world of sports.

    Even the ongoing Football World Cup has to make way for Michael Jordan on this day.

    Since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan has been the spokesperson for a widely watched sport.

    The name Jordan is actually much bigger than basketball or the NBA. Jordan¡¯s global influence and commercial value, at least at this stage, can be said to be basically no athlete can see his back.

    Looking only at the commercial value brought by influence, Jordan single-handedly turned Nike into a super sports brand that rivals Adidas and has even begun to surpass Adidas.

    Starting from 2000, according to the agreement with Nike, Jordan gave up Air Jordan¡¯s voting rights and operational participation rights, and turned profit dividends into sales dividends.

    In 2000, Jordan's sales dividend was more than 56 million U.S. dollars. Last year, due to the 911 terrorist attacks, it dropped to less than 40 million U.S. dollars. Last year, Christmas, a large-scale promotional holiday, saw bleak sales But returning to normal will happen sooner or later, and it is inevitable.  will keep rising.

    Before the 1980s, the popularity of basketball around the world was quite limited. If Irving, Barry, Malone, Magic, Big Bird, etc. are the cornerstones of modern basketball, then Jordan is the real one who transformed basketball.  The competition turned into a world-class favorite.

    This achievement is very similar to the fact that the head of state likes to play basketball and makes basketball one of the mainstream sports

    ¡­¡­

    On June 16, 2002, the 39-year-old Jordan won the Finals MVP, breaking the historical record of the oldest Finals MVP held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The previous one was 38 years and two months before Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but Jordan postponed it.  At 39 years and 4 months.

    By the way, at the age of 39, he scored 42 points in the finals, setting a record for the oldest person to score 40+ points in a single game in the finals and playoffs.

    After winning FMVP, Jordan chose to retire, ending his career perfectly.

    Both things were very sudden. Although Zhang Hao only averaged 26 points per game, his overall performance was definitely better.

    It¡¯s just that, judging from the situation in the finals, without Jordan, there is a high probability that the Sonics will not be able to beat the Bulls.

    Jordan chose to retire after winning the FMVP, which annihilated some comments that questioned who the FMVP should be.

    Jordan¡¯s retirement this time is extremely legendary. Public opinion generally believes that it is more legendary than his retirement after three consecutive championships in 1993.

    Some comments also emerged at this time. Some media speculated that Jordan retired because he did not want to see Zhang Hao win three consecutive championships and maintain the achievement of "the only three consecutive championships in the modern basketball era".

    But there are many people who refute this statement, because even if he wins three consecutive championships, Zhang Hao will not be able to win three consecutive FMVPs. The second Jordan has already taken it. The 40-year-old Jordan will most likely not get it, and it will not affect Zhang Hao's inability to win three consecutive FMVPs  and the most important thing is, even if Zhang Hao completes three consecutive championships, Jordan is also one of the founders of the dynasty, and there is no reason to 'keep' it.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Really can win three consecutive championships and get one of the FMVPs can only make Jordan's career brilliance continue to increase.

    Who would say that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar¡¯s two championships at the age of 40 and 41 are not valuable?

    Even if Jordan is not selected for the All-NBA Team this season, the 39-year-old Jordan is still regarded as one of the best shooting guards this season.

    With the attention of sports fans around the world, on June 20, 2002, after participating in the SuperSonics' championship parade, Jordan officially confirmed his decision to retire announced on the night of the 16th through a press conference, and stated that he would never come back again.  .

    ¡­¡­

    This time Jordan retired, compared to the sudden end of his peak period in 1993, which confused the fans and panicked the NBA; compared with the frustration and unwillingness of the fans who were forced to retire in 1998, it is much more perfect.

    When Jordan chooses to retire at this time, more people will send their blessings, and there will not be too much reluctance.

    At this age and this way of retiring, I can¡¯t imagine how it could be better.

    "The choice Jordan made at that time was very good, in all aspects, very good.

    On June 21st, t.n.t Sports Channel produced a live show with Barkley as the host and Jordan as the guest.

    After talking about some things, Barkley got to the point: "Michael, why don't you play for another year? With Akers, I think you can definitely win another three consecutive championships, so that you can surpass Magic."  The number of championships."

    Jordan crossed his legs arrogantly: "No, I don't want to be a substitute like some people and just get a championship ring."

    Barkley exploded: "Who do you think got a championship? You have no idea how badly you were tortured by me that year?"

    &nThe road to recruiting special players is bumpy, but in terms of reinforcing role players, business is booming with the coaching staff, with veterans and free agents coming for trial training every day.

    The Sonics are quite competitive in the free market. For veterans, there is hope of winning the championship. Even without Jordan, the Sonics may be strengthened through the introduction of free agents or trades.

    For free agents, the Sonics¡¯ space of more than $10 million is also very attractive.

    Zhang Hao pays attention to these things every day and often goes to the office to communicate with the management and coaching staff. However, players with big contracts are very cautious. It doesn¡¯t matter if they are rebuilding the team, they can just try their best to recruit people.

    But they are the two consecutive defending champions, and except for Jordan's retirement, the core lineup has basically been maintained.

    ?This requires more caution.

    Zhang Hao is not in a hurry, the free market has just begun

    ¡­¡­

    After a busy day, accepting interviews, and following the coaching staff to select free agents and veterans for trial training, Zhang Hao was finally free in the afternoon.

    When I got home, April, Britney, and Little Loli made dinner together. We had guests tonight.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??

    Zhang Hao greeted warmly: "Oh, Sam, are you back from your trip?"

    Cassel responded with a bright smile. He knew that even in private, Zhang Hao could not have this enthusiasm for everyone.

    Cassel ignored the word ¡®travel¡¯ and responded: ¡°I went to test the free market and got an offer of 7 million annual salary. I came back and prepared to sign a contract.¡±

    "Testing the free market? Didn't your wife Sasha say that you two would travel to South Africa together Forget it, just treat it as if you were traveling. 7 million is a bit low"

    "That's almost it. My salary has never been high."

    "" Zhang Hao was speechless. How did he feel that this guy just ran out and wandered around for a while, and then came back and said what he guessed about the salary that other teams could offer?

    And maybe I guessed too low.

    In the past two years, Cassel has received unprecedented exposure, and his strength has also been more recognized.

    With his style of play, he is only 33 years old at the beginning of the new season, and his free market prospects are very good.

    Zhang Hao has seen rumors that many teams want to introduce Cassel. The annual salary of US$7 million is basically the lowest price.

    Looking at Cassel, Zhang Hao couldn't say, "Can you raise the price a little bit?" He could only ask, "Sam, how many years do you want to sign the contract?"

    This time it was Cassel¡¯s turn to be stunned for a moment and responded: ¡°Can I still choose this?¡±

    Zhang Hao tilted his head and nodded: "Okay."

    Cassel was stunned, but he didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He thought about it and said, ¡°Three years, three years!¡±

    Zhang Hao responded: "That's good. Three years later, in the summer of 2005, you will be 35 or less than 36 years old. With your playing style and your physical condition, you can probably still get a good contract."

    It was said that Zhang Hao took out his cell phone and sent text messages to Larry Harris and Howard Schultz.

    Soon, the two workaholics responded and agreed to the contract extension.

    "Okay Sam, the contract extension is completed. They should talk to your agent tomorrow about the details, but they must retain your bird rights first and then renew your contract after the signing is completed."

    "Is this enough?" Cassel felt so sloppy, a three-year contract with an annual salary of 7 million!

    "Yes," Zhang Hao responded, put away his phone, and said to Cassel: "Stay for dinner tonight? If you want to stay, come and help. By the way, call Sasha."

    Cassel, who has experienced the warmth and coldness of human kindness, is very good at troubleshooting and asked: "You have guests coming tonight, right? Will they disturb you?"

    "No, Kobe comes to visit my house. He talks little, so don't worry. If you and Sasha come too, it will be more lively."

    "Kobe? Are we going to bring in Kobe?"

    Zhang Hao thought back to the two wonderful years of partnering with Jordan "I think so! I just have business to discuss with him"

 Chapter 529 529. It is also excellent to tap internal potential (9000 words, please vote for me)

    This person in front of me is the Eastern No. 24 who wants his nostrils to grow upward?

    What does it mean to be polite, what does elegance mean, what does it mean to be French-Italian-African

    The two faces on the court and off the court are talking about the real "guest-like" man in front of him - Kobe Bryant.

    Cassell¡¯s impression of Kobe cannot be said to have changed, but he just feels that he has learned about Kobe¡¯s versatility.

    In the past, Cassell felt that Kobe was a proud player, even more proud than Jordan, and that no one looked down upon him.

    But this time, Cassell felt that Kobe did not discriminate against him because of his appearance or other reasons, and did not show off his face.

    When he saw him, Kobe was not enthusiastic, but he had no other expressions. When he saw Zhang Hao, Kobe's attitude did not change much, that is, he treated everyone equally.

    This makes Cassel feel very surprised 'By the way, Aix said an idiom, birds of a feather flock together, and those who can be friends with Aix should be no different.  ¡¯

    "It's just that the way Kobe and his wife played Cassell has a bit of inferiority complex.

    Welcoming Kobe and Vanessa into the restaurant, Zhang Hao looked at the dishes prepared by himself and San Niu, and then looked at the outfits of Kobe and Vanessa. He really felt that the food prepared by his family was not worthy of these two.

    To put it nicely, Kobe¡¯s visit to Zhang Hao¡¯s home felt as grand as attending a state banquet.

    Be more direct, one word can describe¡ª¡ª

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t even know what the taxi driver who sent them to his home was thinking.

    But in freedom-loving America, everyone can think of anything.

    However, the confidence on the faces of Kobe and Vanessa, the brilliance, the enjoyment Zhang Hao felt that even his own casual clothes were so eye-catching.

    When San Niu and San Niu looked at each other, San Niu¡¯s eyes showed the same idea.

    After letting Kobe and Vanessa wait, Zhang Hao pulled Cassel and Sanniu pulled Cassel¡¯s wife Sasha Cassel upstairs

    Zhang Hao turned out the suit that his father wore when he came to the United States to live in the United States. He made the suit slightly larger, which was just right for Cassel. Although it was not as showy as Kobe's, it was at least symptomatic.

    Zhang Hao also put on a suit, and when the three girls took Cassell's wife downstairs, they all also put on formal clothes that were not gorgeous.

    Finally, the awkward feeling between the Zhang Hao and Kassel families disappeared.

    The three families were not picky. Although the dishes were not worthy of the overly dressed-up look of a group of them tonight, the dishes were prepared considering that Vanessa was pregnant. April had communicated with Vanessa in advance, and they ate quite well.  happy.

    Overall, the guests and hosts had a great time. After dinner, Cassel left with Sasha.

    Although the awkwardness has been reduced a lot, it is still very awkward. Taking their own clothes, the Cassels ran away, saying that the clothes would be returned after they were dry-cleaned.

    ¡­¡­

    After sending Cassel and his wife away, Zhang Hao returned to the living room, where April was chatting with expectant mother Vanessa about parenting.

    "Kobe, let's talk over here without disturbing them about their children."

    "Aix, you have a good idea. Should we go there?"

    Listening to Kobe¡¯s answer and watching Kobe stand up, Zhang Hao really wanted to give himself a slap in the face and just say, ¡®Kobe, go this way¡¯?

    But after this meal, Zhang Hao was used to Kobe's pace.

    Kobe followed Zhang Hao to the reception room and asked: "Akers, you invited me here not just for a dinner, not just because April wants to meet Vanessa, right?"

    Kobe is very satisfied with the experience of visiting Zhang Hao¡¯s house tonight.

    ¡®Appointment¡¯, an appointment, Zhang Hao came to Kobe this time, he has an appointment!

    In the past, Zhang Hao¡¯s appointments with Kobe were very temporary. There was something to do immediately. Kobe would go if he had time, but not if he didn¡¯t.

    This time it was because Zhang Hao made an appointment in advance that Kobe dressed himself up so grandly.

    In Kobe¡¯s view, many things are mutual.

    Of course, among friends, Kobe feels that there is no need to do anything, he also has a casual side.

    But when the other party shows such attention, Kobe will respond with more attention, and he prefers this situation.

    This is Kobe, a man who combines back-and-forth and iron-making ah, a strange man who combines academic dominance and ball dominance.

    The reason why Zhang Hao made an appointment first was purely because Vanessa was pregnant, and the Kobe family must cooperate with her.If you want to continue to make progress, you have to strengthen your skills little by little.

    On the 31st, the national team announced the official 12-man roster and began team training.

    On the 29th and 30th, Zhang Hao asked for two days off from the training team to spend time with his wife and daughter.

    As for the son Little Lolita and Britney liked it so much that they played with it.

    On July 30, suddenly, the gossip media broke a piece of news about the Bulls, which suddenly became popular all over the United States - Malone flirted with Kobe's wife, and Kobe and Malone had a heated argument!

    Then, Zhang Hao and April, who were obsessed with gossip, looked for news everywhere and saw this video on the American cable television entertainment channel.

    Specifically, it seems that the Bulls held a team party on the 28th, and Malone secretly approached Vanessa and struck up a conversation.

    Who knew that Vanessa turned around and went to complain to Kobe, so forget it, and was secretly photographed by a reporter who sneaked in.

    Zhang Hao just wants to see the excitement

    He was a little curious and asked: "April, do you mind what others say about your skin color?"

    Aren¡¯t you gossiping about Kobe¡¯s family?  Did the topic change so quickly?

    Fortunately, April has long been used to it. After thinking about it, she responded: "I used to care a lot about it. The first time you asked me if I was white, I was very unhappy. But then I got along with you.  After going to China a few more times, I don¡¯t care so much anymore¡­ By the way, Aix, do Chinese people have no concept of race?¡±

    "Well¡­¡­"

    This touches on Zhang Hao¡¯s blind spot. When he stays in the United States, he will consider this aspect, but domestic

    Zhang Hao also pondered for a moment and responded: "I don't know what other people are like. Anyway, in my world view, there are only China, foreign countries, and Japan."

    "Why is there still Japan?"

    "Welllet Tiga and Annie go back to China to attend elementary school in two years, and then let them tell you that the education of children in the United States is too liberal and not very good."

    "Oh" April did not refuse this.

    Having actually been to China, and going there once a year for the past two or three years, April was able to see with her own eyes the earth-shaking changes in China, and learned about what Howard Schultz said was a ¡®market prospect full of infinite possibilities¡¯.

    The son must inherit the family property, and the father-in-law is very concerned about issues such as nationality and culture.

    Although I am very reluctant to give up, I still have to consider the future of my children

    ¡®Then give birth to two more!  ¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    On July 31, the selection phase of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball training team officially ended, and the 12-man roster was determined.

    Nine members who won the 2000 Olympic Games, including Zhang Hao, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Hu Weidong, Battelle, Lin Nan, Gong Xiaobin, Liu Yudong, and Guo Shiqiang, are retained, but three of them have left.

    It¡¯s necessary to replenish fresh blood, isn¡¯t it

    ?? Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, three positions of interior line, forward line, and point guard, each filled with a newcomer.

    Recently, in addition to his own training, Zhang Hao has also been observing the training of other members of the training team.

    Something happened that made him excited - the basic skills of the members of the training team were better than what he had expected!

 Chapter 530 530. The first part of the welcome ceremony for the demon sword (10,000 words for votes)

    The internal strife between Kobe and Malone made this hot summer even more interesting.

    "Really no one expected that the conflict between the Bulls' three superstars was actually Kobe and Malone, and it was in such a weird way.

    There are follow-up reports that are not true or false. Another Bulls superstar Tracy McGrady originally invited his teammates to his home, but Malone was not invited.

    Due to the frequent big contracts last summer, there are not many big contracts in the free market this year, but there are many transactions. Because of the Bulls, it has become more lively.

    Malone¡¯s salary for the new season is more than 18 million, what should he do?

    Regarding this matter, of course other teams just want to watch and have fun.

    As for the SuperSonics, apart from the offer of star shooting guards from the weaker teams, there was not much movement. Since no deal was reached, as the two consecutive defending champions and the leading guard retired, there was no news.

    Just signed starting-level Brent Barry and that's it.

    Zhang Hao would chat with Larry Harris or Howard Schultz almost every day in July, but in fact the Sonics were extremely low-key in the free market.

    On August 1st, at the Seattle Key Arena, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team training officially began.

    What is the most substantial impact on driving a country¡¯s basketball industry?  The improvement of the overall business capabilities of domestic athletes!

    There is a Chinese basketball player who has made great achievements in the world arena, won the championship, and became the strongest

    This will bring great encouragement to other Chinese basketball players!

    Someone has proven that he can do it, why can¡¯t the next person who can do it be me?  ¡ª¡ªThe mentality that young people should have.

    Chinese basketball¡¯s national team-level players are in the transition stage between the old and the new.

    In the past month, Zhang Hao saw the training efforts of young players in the training team, which far exceeded his expectations!

    He has the impression that some young players will enter the national team in the future, but in his impression, the basic skills of these players after entering the national team do not seem to be as good as those in the training team when they are younger.

    Of course, the better the talent, the better.

    Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, and Liu Wei are the most talented and hard-working young players in this training team.

    The three of them were more or less different from Zhang Hao¡¯s impression.

    ?????????????????????? To say that it has become stronger in an earth-shaking way, it is impossible, it is still not a world-class team.

    But the basic skills and training effort feel better than four or five years later in the original time and space. Although the three of them in the original time and space were not world-class players at their peak But this is already very good!

    Changes always happen little by little.

    When he led the team to third place in the 1998 World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team had already begun to change. After winning the Olympic gold medal in 2000, it began to undergo substantial changes. Now, two years after becoming the world's number one, it can be seen that  Got something.

    For example, young domestic players attach great importance to basic skills!

    ¡­¡­

    The team training started and went very smoothly. Most of the teammates were members of the national teams in 1998 and 2000.

    The three newcomers will not play too important roles. Silver Fox uses their functional abilities.

    For example, Liu Wei can follow up and hit quickly, Zhu Fangyu can be a fixed-point shooter, and Du Feng is good at cutting.

    Functionality is something that the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team emphasizes, mainly because Zhang Hao cares about it.

    ??In the original time and space, Zhang Hao watched the Chinese men's basketball games after Yao Ming and felt that there was something very awkward - every player in the Chinese men's basketball team regarded themselves as stars.

    He is not destined to be a dream team member, but he has committed a disease that even a dream team would not commit.

    The Dream Team all knows that it must play according to the NCAA basketball style, but in the future, the Chinese men's basketball team will use themselves as superstars one by one.

    Time passed day by day, and by mid-August, the training of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team was quite effective.

    Zhang Hao has paid less attention to club matters recently.

    I paid a lot of attention before because I was thinking about bringing in top players who are considered all-stars. Now that I have decided not to continue thinking about 'getting it right in one step', I don't need to pay too much attention. After Brent Barry is signed, the next step is  Third option at every position.

    Formal team training has begun. In addition to training, Zhang Hao, as a representative figure of domestic athletes, also has to deal with some official matters, mainly various interviews.

    This summer, Chinese basketball¡¯s status in the country is rising.p; Zhang Hao was flanked one step inside the free throw line and passed the ball high. Hu Weidong cut in and jumped high, pressing the ball into the basket with one hand!

    Ginobili thought back to the scene where Zhang Hao started playing from behind to passing the ball It was outrageous!

    ??Four years ago at the World Championships, Ginobili played against Zhang Hao. At that time, although he felt that Zhang Hao was powerful, he was not invincible.

    In the past few years, I have heard about how strong Zhang Hao is but I have no real idea. Since Argentina is also a strong team in the world, it is rare to have time to watch the Chinese team in the World Series.

    During the actual match, Ginobili finally understood one thing - how did the people in the NBA stay calm in the face of such a monster?

    You have been abused a lot, are you used to it?

    It was a mistake. Zhang Hao did not initially focus on how to perform well in the national team as the direction of his skill expansion. But what a coincidence was that in his rookie year, he encountered Van Exel, who controlled the ball.  In the second year, he became teammates with Kenny Anderson, Barkley, and O'Neal. He continued to play without the ball. He had almost developed his off-ball style first. He only needed to continue to improve his techniques and details before he started to develop his ball-holding skills.  Purely natural and suitable for international competitions.

    Just like the top stars in the NBA, those who are very good at attacking with the ball may not be suitable for the international arena, but players such as Ray Allen and Reggie Miller will become their fathers when they reach the international arena.

    The opening attack was scored, and the fans at the scene cheered for the connection between Zhang Hao and Hu Weidong.

    When the Argentine team attacked, Ginobili was freed from the negative emotions and felt a little excited

    He wants to return one!  I can¡¯t get rid of this thought!

    Receiving the serve and advancing to the frontcourt, Zhang Hao stayed at the top arc, and Ginobili decisively hit the singles!

    Even though ¡®Isolated and Helpless (Gold)¡¯ was triggered, Zhang Hao failed to judge the change of direction during Ginobili¡¯s breakthrough!  Ginobili's footsteps were so spooky that his second step changed drastically. A bullet hit the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone!

    Ginobili got space to shoot and hit the board with a high throw

    But in this case, if Ginobili changes direction, Zhang Hao will most likely not be able to tell, but it happens to be the bottom line Zhang Hao's 'Bottom Line Ruler (Gold)' is triggered, and his speed towards the bottom line is +3, and he defends against Ginobili.  Unable to do it, he decisively chose to take off towards the ball thrown by Ginobili

    Bullet speed +3!

    Before Ginobili¡¯s shot was about to hit the backboard, Zhang Hao slapped the ball on the backboard!

    The Chinese team started to counterattack with a tacit understanding. Wang Zhizhi received a pass from Zhang Hao at the midline position. Hu Weidong came down quickly. Wang Zhizhi dropped the ball and Hu Weidong hit a fast break layup!

    Ginobili was stunned again - is this okay?

    Zhang Hao turned around and stepped forward, rubbed Ginobili's head, and said: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA in advance."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 531 531. Champion, we are coming again!  (5000 words please vote)

    As for how strong a person is, there is no direct feeling. You only rely on estimates, and there will always be deviations. Especially if you have played against this person before, and based on the estimates based on that fight, the deviation may be even greater.

    In the 2000-01 season, Ginobili led the Bologna Vitus team to win the Italian League Championship, Cup Championship, and European League Championship in one fell swoop, and was crowned the European Triple Crown.

    In the 2001-02 season, Ginobili was already recognized as the number one defender in the European League. After his contract expired, he accepted a four-year contract with the Sonics equivalent to the 20th pick in the first round.

    The salary is lower than the long-term contract with an annual salary of approximately US$2.2 million given by Vitus Bologna, but Ginobili has no opponents in Europe and wants to move to a stronger league.

    He knows that when he gets to the NBA, he won¡¯t be the best and may even have to come off the bench. He is mentally prepared.

    But he is the number one defender in the European League after all, and he also has a certain degree of confidence.

    But the superstar in front of me, who is about to become a teammate, is a little too much!

    The visual impact is so terrifying!

    When the Argentine team attacked, Scola took over the offensive banner, turned around beautifully, then turned around and hit Liu Yudong's baseline jumper in singles.

    On the Spanish team, although they were upset by the German team in the quarterfinals, Gasol still played the title of the world's number one center.

    Gasol¡¯s height, wingspan, skills, and playing style are too strong in the international arena.

    Since Zhang Hao mainly plays small forward in the international arena, the person who won the title of 'Most Powerful Forward' in this World Championship is Argentina's young player Luis Scola.

    With the huge difference in size, Scola cannot protect the frame like Gasol, but offensively, he is really no worse than Gasol in the international arena.

    Scola¡¯s initiative to ask for the ball also awakened Ginobili who wanted to ¡®give one back¡¯.

    Ginobili decided to focus on Scola's clear strong point and take it easy first. The teammate of the new club opposite was a little scared!

    But the Chinese team just took advantage of Zhang Hao to score points.

    Wang Zhizhi shoots very accurately from the outside. When Zhang Hao catches the ball in the top arc, Wang Zhizhi usually stays at a 45-degree angle on both sides. When Zhang Hao shoots, Wang Zhizhi retreats. When Zhang Hao breaks out, Wang Zhizhi moves to the top arc to receive shots or provide support.

    Liu Yudong shot very accurately from the elbow area on both sides, and he was also very accurate when he cut in and caught the ball quickly. With that confrontation, Liu Yudong was so loud. In fact, even if Hu Weidong did not enter the NBA, Liu Yudong would still be the top player in most people's minds.  The best player since the founding of a.

    At the World Championships, Liu Yudong continued his excellent form of averaging 37 points per game in the league. He played a supporting role and had to defend Scola Zhang Hao couldn't even handle it, but the offensive end only considered functionality, which was very strong!

    Guo Shiqiang is indeed not at the world-class level, but with a height of 193 centimeters, he has an advantage in the point guard position. He suffers from weight loss but his speed is still good. He is at his peak at the age of 27. He is accurate in three-pointers and can follow people defensively. He is not too slow and can play in the field.  It is already very good to maintain a certain accuracy in large gaps.

    Hu Weidong and Zhang Hao are the two main attackers, and the rest of the Chinese team does what they should do.

    Functionality, something that the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team has been emphasizing and adjusting since the two World Series, has truly reached a satisfactory state in this World Championship.

    Both Liu Yudong and Wang Zhizhi can do more, but if the former wants to do more, Liu Yudong may not be able to do the things that Zhang Hao and Hu Weidong need Liu Yudong to do most.

    Wang Zhizhi is better. He can be the main attacking point, but that will take away the ball rights from Zhang Hao or Hu Weidong.

    Hu Weidong is the strongest perimeter player in the Chinese men's basketball team, and Zhang Hao goes without saying.

    And after the functionality is clarified, it is actually a great benefit for the two of them in terms of physical strength!

    Just like Ginobili used Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in 1998 and Zhang Hao¡¯s performance seen in the news and videos to speculate on how strong Zhang Hao is.

    The last time Argentina played against the Chinese team was in 1998. After a few years, more people still judge the Chinese team based on their experience and videos.

    In many aspects, this analysis is not a problem.

    For example, in terms of the strength of the Chinese team's players, except for Zhang Hao's estimate, which was somewhat inaccurate, there is no problem with the others.

    But the Chinese team¡¯s players¡¯ choice of play greatly exceeded the Argentine team¡¯s expectations.

    ??When the Argentina team gets a player like Wang Zhizhi, he also uses it as a core center. Due to the difference in size, if the Argentine team coach has a center like Wang Zhizhi, he will definitely let Scola assist Wang Zhizhi in playing.

    But not the Chinese team. In the starting stage, Wang Zhizhi was used as a support point and a support point!?The score was 114 to 105, the point difference was widened to 9 points, and the Chinese team completely sealed the victory!

    The Argentina team missed the last shot and Yao Ming got stuck. Du Feng took the defensive rebound and stopped playing.

    The Argentine team won¡¯t steal it either.

    Although 6 players from the Argentine team scored in double figures, and these 6 players combined to score 95 points, of which Scola scored the second-highest 30 points in the game, they were still unable to stop Zhang Hao, who scored 36 points, and Yao Ming, who scored 25 points.

    The Chinese team defeated Argentina 114 to 105 and advanced to the finals of two consecutive World Series!

    The Argentine team fought hard throughout the game and still lost.

    But hearing the manic cheers from the fans at the scene, the Argentine team players had nothing to do.

    Opposite me, the 226cm tall No. 1 pick in the 2001 class smiles as if he wants to eat people.

    ???????????????? He looks a little baby fat, he seems to be honest and honest, but he is a bad center under the education of those gangsters from the Kings.

    The Suns guard who flies and dunks like Jordan.

    There is also a group of players who are focused on doing what they are good at.

    The most important thing isthe Chinese power forward enjoying the cheers of the audience

    This is America!  USA!

    Americans actually cheered crazily for a Chinese team player!

    ¡°It¡¯s true that I can¡¯t beat him, so let¡¯s go for the bronze medal Nowitzki looks a little easier to bully.

    A certain Silver Horn King who did not want to be named, who was watching the game and cheering for Zhang Hao on the sidelines, suddenly felt a chill

    Argentina coach Ruben Magnano looked at the celebrating Chinese players opposite, and then looked at his own players.

    He is also emphasizing functionality, but most of the Mesozoic players in the national team are still the same as before - playing according to the style of their respective clubs.

    On the contrary, new generation players such as Ginobili, Scola, Oberto who are more talented and stronger, play more team-oriented.

    For example, the 29-year-old Volkovski is doing very well. He is also the core center in the club, but when he comes to the national team, he is willing to do what he is best at, even if there are some things he is second best at, such as close range.  In singles, they are willing to give it to teenager Scola.

    Ruben Magnano feels that this time it is still too conservative. The Olympics last year suffered a loss because they conservatively sent a large number of 98-year veterans. Last year¡¯s Pan American Basketball Championships already showed some signs

    'The replacement of players must continue. The quality of young players is still better. The opponent's point guard position is the weakest. We should have an advantage, but we failed to show it. If we bring Prigioni and Delfino, we will be better.  Can you beat China'

    On the other side, after a reporter from the Chaoting Sports Channel interviewed the members of the Chinese men's basketball team, he raised his voice and said to the camera amidst the noise at the scene: "We will make further progress. Our men's basketball athletes will win at the World Championships."  We have reached a new high and reached the finals of two consecutive World Series. We will compete with the defending world champion Yugoslavia for the championship. Let us look forward to the performance of the men's basketball players in the finals the day after tomorrow. Let's cheer for them! World champions! We are coming again.  Got it!"

    "Yugoslavia is a strong opponent, they are the defending champion, but we have our advantages. Each of us will do our part in the game and bring greater help to the team."

    Yao Ming said this during an interview.

    ??Obviously, compared to previous Olympic Games, Yao Ming speaks more confidently.

    The day after the game against Argentina, on the preparation day, Yao Ming accepted an exclusive interview with the Imperial Comprehensive Channel.

    The World Championships achieved new results. After the World Cup, the country really focused on basketball.

    There are some political factors to consider, but it is definitely a big plus for Chinese basketball.

    Yao Ming is very special in the Chinese basketball world. Taken together, he is as special as Zhang Hao.

    Like Zhang Hao, Yao Ming has a bright future.

    Yao Ming¡¯s parents were both basketball players in the system. Now his father works in the Maritime Safety Administration and his mother is a member of the Sports Committee.

    Like other countries, Chinese fans have an unusual fondness for centers, especially giant centers.

    The main reason is that Wang Zhizhi has determined that he cannot become a superstar and Hu Weidong is old. Domestic fans really hope that there will be another player like Zhang Hao.

    Yao Ming, the No. 1 pick, has very high expectations from domestic fans.

    Yao Ming plays in Washington, which is also a reason.

    ¡°Also, Yao Ming is very good at troubleshooting.

    The best result of the Chinese men's basketball team at the Universiade was the silver medal. After Yao Ming's sophomore season, he stayed in college for a year before entering the NBA, leaving an excellent impression on domestic officials.

    Therefore, in terms of interviews on the major channels of Chaoting TV, Yao Ming¡¯s treatment in the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team is second only to Zhang Hao.

    September 9th, three games were held today, the 5th place match between Spain and the United States, the 7th place match between Russia and Puerto Rico, and the bronze medal match between Argentina and Germany.

    The battle for 7th place is of little significance, but the battle for 5th place has a very different meaning. According to the regulations of this Olympic cycle of FIBA, the top five in this World Championship can directly win the 2004 Athens Championship.  Ticket to the Olympics.

    ¡°Then¡­the U.S. team lost to Spain 75-81.

    The U.S. team lost the opportunity to directly qualify for the 2004 Athens Olympics and needs to win the basketball gold medal at next year's Pan American Games.

    ?????????????????????????? Otherwise, the only choice is to play in the qualifying round of the losing team, which would be very shameless.

    There are three major basketball competitions in the Americas. Since there are too few countries in North America, North American countries generally have to participate in continental competitions together with South American countries.

    The most valuable one is the Pan American Basketball Championship, which is as famous as the European Championship, also known as the US Championship.

    Secondly, there are two competitions related to Olympic or World Championship quotas, one is the Pan American Games and the other is the South American Basketball Championship, both of which only the champions can get quotas.

    It is difficult for Canada to enter the World Series once in ten years. It is because of this. Its neighbor is the United States, and there are a bunch of big and fat guys in South America They can't compete at all.

    ???In fact, the Pan American Games was allocated a quota for the World Championships or Olympic Games by the American Basketball Federation, just to allow the Canadian team to qualify. Otherwise, it would be better to simply allow two quotas for the South American Championships.

    But the Canadian men¡¯s basketball team is incredibly weak.

    However, many people analyze that although the Russian men's basketball team inherited the team history of the former Soviet Union, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian men's basketball team also continued to decline.

    One reason is that many basketball players during the Soviet Union chose Russian nationality according to the conditions set by the Russian government after the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, 10 years have passed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. That group of players has played in the past two World Series.  Gradually left the basketball world.

    And the high-dimensional Canadian team faces the same problem as the Russian men's basketball team - it's too cold most of the year, and no one goes out to play. What should they do?

    If Canada wants to enter the World Championships or the Olympics, unless there are 24 countries participating in the World Championships and a few more spots are given to the Americas, or if the American countries win gold and silver medals at the same time or gold and bronze medals at the same time, Canada's probability will be higher.  .

    When it comes to the playoffs, the Canadian team Anyway, since 1991, the Canadian team has not defeated any national team outside the Americas.

    ¡°At this moment, the last thread in the hearts of American fans completely collapsed they fell to the same level as the Canadian team!

    I thought I had reached the bottom line, losing to the runner-up and Zhang Hao, but American fans recognized it.

    Having a hot dog and a cup of Coke for lunch, Zhang Hao felt surreal to have secured an epic superstar spokesperson for European basketball who would be alongside Pau Gasol in the future.

    Zhang Hao returned to the Conseco Arena at two o'clock in the afternoon. He slept for an hour during the break and was woken up by his baby daughter. Then he went to have the final discussion before the game with his teammates. He had something to eat at 4 o'clock in the evening. Zhang Hao took the lead at 4:30.  Start warming up

    It was past 6 o'clock, and the warm-up was basically over. While doing the final stretching work, Zhang Hao was being interviewed while stretching his muscles with the help of the trainer.

    The questions are still the same, and the answers are still official Domestic official media are generally quite serious now.

    After accepting the interview, Zhang Hao thought - 'If I can be a guest on Today's Talk in a few years Ahem, that show doesn't seem to be suitable for me. It's a pity. I still want to help that man open up the Rendu lineage'

    At 6:30 in the evening, at the Conseco Arena, the Chinese team and the Yugoslavia team entered the stadium.

    The bronze medal winning team, the German team, is also present and will be awarding the prizes later.

    The atmosphere at the venue was very manic. In fact, looking at the Chinese faces and Asian faces, the total number of people was at most 20%.

    The other more than 16,000 people are all American fans, mainly from California, Washington State, and New Jersey. According to the ticket sales investigated by the American media, there are more than 10,000 live fans from these areas, but there are still more than 6,000 people.  , are people from other parts of the United States.

    But tonight, the whole place is filled with Chinese red!  Most of the fans are wearing the Chinese team¡¯s No. 8 jersey!

    The others are also jerseys from the SuperSonics, Kings, Suns, and Wizards.

    When the players of the Yugoslavia team saw this scene when they entered the stadium, they felt very awkward.

    On the other side, I was not surprised when the Chinese team entered the stadium. It was almost the same as the last game, except that there were more fans wearing Chinese team jerseys.

    Looking at Divac, Stojakovic, Marko Jaric, Tomasevic, Radmanovic on the opposite sidethe pressure is huge!

    This lineup is even more luxurious than the Argentina team!  Every player is a famous player in NBA or European basketball!

    Many people believe that this should be another beginning of the golden age of Yugoslav basketball, but everyone knows that this may be the last glory of Yugoslav basketball because Yugoslavia is almost gone!

    After the two teams entered the field, the big screen quickly showed the lens to Zhang Hao. Upon seeing this, Zhang Hao pointed out his sword finger with his right hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, and then

    Click on the national flag logo on the chest!

 Chapter 533 533. The shining final!  (10,000 words, please vote)

    At this moment, less than 3,000 Chinese fans and overseas Chinese fans at the scene burst into cheers!  It once drowned out all the sounds in the scene.

    They saw this scene with their own eyes!

    If he repeats the movements from the Olympic Games, it will look very deliberate, but this slightly frivolous movement shows Zhang Hao's confidence at this moment, and at the same time, it also has the picture that the Chinese people want, and it doesn't seem so deliberate.

    ??In fact, for most Chinese sports fans, it doesn't matter at all whether it is possible or not.

    When Zhang Hao really makes this move in every World Series, it will become a signature move and nothing else.

    The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene greatly inspired the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team members.

    After Zhang Hao enjoyed the cheers for a while, he felt a few fiery glances.

    Although Radmanovic was very dishonest in the Yugoslavia team and tormented his teammates in the group stage, he has a sense of belonging in the Bulls. He was beaten by Zhang Hao in the finals last season, and now he has defeated Zhang Hao and the SuperSonics.  The team is regarded as a mortal enemy.

    Divacthe trade feud many years ago.

    This Serbian center is very vindictive and has a hot temper. Compared with him, the gentleman's mind is really broad.

    Divac will remember this kind of thing for the rest of his life, just like he hates the Lakers.

    Peja already disliked Zhang Hao, but the Western Conference added even more hatred to him.

    Zhang Hao has been mentally prepared for this, and he doesn¡¯t really care.

    For this final, Zhang Hao stepped onto the court with a challenger mentality.

    Zhang Hao has great respect for this opponent. From 1967 to 1998, only three countries won the championship in the Basketball World Championships, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia.

    But, he wants to win!

    The Silver Fox Project was led by Mr. Zhang and the entire national team worked together to achieve its current state. However, the older generation of outside players retired one by one. Only Guo Shiqiang and Hu Weidong are still at their peak. Next time,  It¡¯s really hard to say about the World Championships.

    This time, we must win the championship!

    ¡­¡­

    There was also a small event before the game. Norah Jones, the best female pop singer at the Grammys, sang her Grammy-winning song for the World Championship final At 7:58 pm, the pre-game preparations were over and the two teams started.  Got on the field.

    Yugoslavia team, the starting lineup of Marko Jaric, Rakosevic, Peja, Radmanovic, and Divac appeared.

    Marko Jaric, a big point guard, 198 centimeters tall, played as a substitute for Francis in the Clippers last season, and occasionally played as a shooting guard. He averaged 8.6 points, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. His performance was quite good, and his defense was excellent.  Teaming up with Francis to exchange fast-break passes is particularly good.

    Rasekovic is a second-team shooting guard in Serie A. He is not tall, 191 centimeters tall, but he is very capable.

    The strength is quite strong!  The ability to defeat the American team and stabilize the German team, which continues to go berserk in this year's World Championships, shows its strength.

    The Chinese team sent a starting combination of Guo Shiqiang, Hu Weidong, Zhang Hao, Liu Yudong and Wang Zhizhi.

    Now, when the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team sees a group of well-known big players in the international arena opposite them, they always think ¡®just lose less¡¯, but now beat him!

    At eight o'clock in the evening, the game starts!

    Zhang Hao easily overtaken Divac and won the jump ball. After landing, he went straight to the opposite basket. Guo Shiqiang passed the ball steadily. Zhang Hao received the ball and took a step forward to the free throw line. He was flanked and took a step forward to stand one meter in front of the basket  After being pulled, my arm was still raised smoothly and I threw the ball

    ? Almost scored, the ball bounced on the neck of the basket, hit the front of the basket, bounced up again, and was directly slapped away by the opponent.

    The fans at the scene shouted "interfering with the ball", and a large number of fans raised their hands to draw circles.

    But according to the rules of the international arena, as long as the ball touches the frame, it is a free ball. It can be tipped in or caught. The interference phase is over after the ball hits the basket for the first time and bounces up.

    Of course, if the ball lands on the basket for the second time and has not yet left the basket, or if it touches the basket and falls directly into the basket, it will still be an interference ball if it is touched.

    ?That is, the principle of ¡®interfering with the ball downward¡¯.

    But the referee¡¯s whistle had already sounded when Zhang Hao took action.

    Zhang Hao stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily!

    The goal is clear - beat Divac's speed!

    When the Kings played the Mavericks in the second round, the Kings took advantage of this very well.

    Wang Zhizhi blocked the top arc, and Weber screened Peja at the free throw line behind Divac, and then cut in.

    ? ??Another one of two free throws. Even if Yao Ming made both free throws, the Yugoslav team still had a chance to drag the game into overtime.

    but!  This time, Yao Ming stepped to the free throw line and scored the extra penalty!  The Yugoslav team called a timeout!

    114 to 110, with 11 seconds left, the Chinese team leads by 4 points!

    Finally, after the Yugoslavia team surged by 13 points, Peja's catch was a three-pointer!

    Yao Ming grabbed the defensive rebound and hugged him. Divac hesitated and hugged Yao Ming

    With 3.9 seconds left, Yao Ming stepped to the free throw line and made his first free throw.

    On the second free throw, Yao Ming slammed the ball hard into the basket!

    The ball quickly bounced towards the top arc. Yao Ming did not catch the ball and allowed the ball to bounce outside the three-point line and towards the opposite side

    When the ball hit the backboard, the countdown began. When it rolled out of bounds on the opposite side, there were only 1.8 seconds left.

    At this time, the fans at the scene had already begun to cheer crazily to celebrate the victory.

    The Yugoslav team did not call a timeout, the ball was released, and there were no shots.

    The opposite side has already begun to celebrate together, and no one has retreated to defend at all!  Not only that, the referee didn't care anymore, the Chinese team players had already rushed onto the court!

    ?Double Champion!

    ??The nine players of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team who won the Olympic gold medal two years ago are crowned double champions at this moment!

    On the other side, the Yugoslavia players also gathered aroundnot celebrating the silver medal.

    Listening to the manic cheers of the fans at the scene, looking at the new generation of world basketball hegemon who is now a socialist country

    From the perspective of life in Yugoslavia, the players of the Yugoslav team have long disliked Yugoslavia. Facts have proved that both Soviet-style socialism and Yugoslavia-style socialism have failed.

    "But at this moment, looking at each other In the future, there will probably be no chance to compete in the world of basketball together"

    In fact, during the group stage, they once disliked each other because of their "political opinions". People from different cultures and different franchise countries disliked each other.

    But the game is a magical thing. As the game goes on, they become closer, because they find that they are so powerful when they work together.

    But when the final whistle blows, they will no longer be teammates.

    This emotion is more uncomfortable for them than failing to defend the title or losing in the final.

    Suddenly, the players of the Yugoslavia team saw someone next to them - the superstar who scored 37 points tonight, regained the World Championship scoring title, and completed the three consecutive World Series scoring titles.

    ¡°Is this, provoking after winning?

    After the final whistle sounded, cameramen and reporters who rushed into the stadium also gathered around.

    Seeing that the opponent noticed him, Zhang Hao said: "I am very happy to play against such a great opponent like you on such a stage. I like this kind of game very much, not because I won, but because the opponent is you. Defeating you is like  I¡¯m just as excited as the first time we took the Dream Team away from Magic two years ago.¡±

    Are you excited?  The Yugoslav players looked at Zhang Hao's cold expression

    You should be very excited, otherwise it would be impossible for someone as cold as the other party to come and talk to them.

    Could it be facial paralysis?

    Not really!  The dance video of "Gaster" is still circulating on the Internet.

    Divac looked at Zhang Hao and finally smiled and said: "I am also very grateful to you for making my last game in Yugoslavia full of light. I believe in light!"

 Chapter 534 534. The new season is here (6000 words please vote)

    The past four years are four years that Chinese basketball fans will never forget.

    It is also four years that this generation of Chinese men¡¯s national basketball team members cannot forget.

    Wang Zhizhi, Guo Shiqiang, and Liu Yudong are the biggest winners. Even Hu Weidong missed an Asian Championship. But these three people have been attending Asian competitions and World Series since 1999.

    In the past four years, the three of them have completed all the championships that Asian basketball players can win in the national team.

    "Grand Slam Player" has also become the exclusive title of the four people in the media.

    It is not necessary to put Zhang Hao, Yao Ming, Hu Weidong, Battelle and others into this group. This can be regarded as a manifestation of the improvement of Chinese basketball confidence.

    After the 1998 World Championships, Silver Fox officially took over the Chinese men's basketball team in 1999. For four summers, every summer, Silver Fox even went to China during the Asian Championships and Asian Games to lead domestic teams in the Asian Championships.  How to cultivate player characteristics through coaching communication during the Asian Games and Asian Games Completely launched to build a new system around Zhang Hao.

    Finally, the Chinese team became another team after the United States, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia to complete consecutive Olympic Games and World Championships!

    At the 2002 Indiana Basketball World Championships, the scene showed a total of 36 basketball players from the Chinese team, Yugoslavia team, and German team standing on the podium.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Chris Anderson was undrafted in 1999. This guy is very interesting. He was 21 years old at the time and was preparing to enter the NBA early. He held a press conference to announce the decision, but he didn't know that he had to submit an application to participate in the draft early. His school also had  The players participating in the NBA draft are all in their twenties or thirteen years old

    After his season in the Chinese League A ended last season, he joined the Nuggets with a contract of 260,000 at the end of March. He played 20 games and averaged 3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game, which is in line with his performance in the League A.  expectations.

    In three seasons in the A-League, he averaged 17 points, 13 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. He does not need any ball rights or shot rights. He is a pure blue-collar player.

    Carlos Arroyo, a guard from Puerto Rico, played 37 games with the Raptors and Nuggets last season, averaging 3 points and 2 assists per game. He played 9 games in the Development League, averaging 17.9 points and 5.3 assists per game.  He has very good athletic ability, skills, and game experience. He can play 5-10 minutes in each game and can be used as a third point guard when necessary.  "

    Larry Harris introduced the two signings completed during this World Championship to Zhang Hao, who was reading information on the other side of the coffee table.

    What Zhang Hao has in hand is the player detection report, physical test report, trial training details form of the two new teammates

    Both men represented the Sonics Summer League team in the Orlando Summer League and Miami Summer League.

    They all performed well and won the favor of the coaching staff. Chris Anderson was obviously better. In 1999, he was ranked 35th among college students in the United States. He had a slight possibility of entering the first round and becoming an NBA starter or main substitute.  Player potential.

    Three years in Class A is actually not a bad thing for Chris Anderson. He may not have much playing time in the NBA. As a blue-collar insider who needs to accumulate experience, playing time may be more important.

    Arroyo mainly performed outstandingly at the World Championships. Four players averaged double figures in this World Championships. Zhang Hao ranked first with 30.3 points per game, Nowitzki ranked second with 29.3 points per game, and Peja ranked third with 20.8 points per game.  Four.

    Third, Arroyo averaged 21.7 points in 6 games.

    On September 11, 2002, the day after the World Championships, all countries participating in the World Championships helped the United States observe a moment of silence to pay tribute to those who died in the terrorist attacks on this day last year, including Chinese and Chinese Americans.

    At night, Larry Harris came to Zhang Hao's room to discuss signing the third point guard and the fourth inside man.

    Seeing Zhang Hao's confused expression, Larry Harris said: "Akers, these two are not bad"

    Zhang Hao responded: "Well, the two of them are very good, but their personalities don't seem to be very good."

    After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he saw Larry Harris looking speechless.

    Zhang Hao reacted, thinking about his own team, Artest, Kirilenko, Ben Wallace, Chandler, Jason Williams, none of them seem to be good.

    Matt Barnes, who was just drafted, almost got into a fight in the summer league.

    Although Arroyo and Chris Anderson have quite eccentric personalities, compared with the few players on their own team they seem to be well-behaved babies.

    "Ahem, Mr. Harris, you are the general manager, you can sign whoever you want"

    Zhang Hao looked at Arroyo¡¯s starting salary of US$550,000, US$610,000 in the second year, and a total salary of US$1.16 million in two years; Chris AndersonThe four core players of Cassell, Artest, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace are all there. The supplementary Brent Barry, although his playing style is much different from that of Jordan, is also a very capable and high-quality role player.

    Can shoot three-pointers, has a strong ability to cut into and attack the frame, has excellent passing ability, and is willing to accept a supporting role.

    On this basis, the SuperSonics' structural adjustment of the starting stage based on last season's style of play went quite smoothly.

    4 dragging 1 is always smoother.

    In terms of role players, although some may be traded away, they still remain in the team, and the coaching staff has tailored their roles in the team system.

    This season Parker has truly become the second main point besides Cassel. His breakthrough scoring, throwing ability, and counterattack ability have all had better opportunities to showcase.

    Ginobili, Kirilenko, Chandler and others all need to show their characteristics or progress in the preseason.

    As the training camp unfolds, as the two consecutive defending champions, the adjustment of the SuperSonics' new lineup is progressing quite smoothly. The specific details will have to be practiced in the preseason and further adjustments will be made. However, the core lineup will be retained, including Parker and Baseball.  Four substitutes, including Lilenko, Chandler, and Jason Williams, also stayed. Although there were five newcomers, there were old players driving the new players, and they were experienced and progressing smoothly

    Soon, time came to October 10th, and the Sonics¡¯ two-week training camp finally came to an end.

    On October 11, the SuperSonics came to the Capital Arena to prepare for their preseason game against the Wizards.

    It¡¯s finally time to play against Yao Ming, Zhang Hao feels so excited It¡¯s the first time in China, the first time against Yao Ming, shouldn¡¯t he give Yao Ming face?  Or not to give Yao Ming face?

 Chapter 535 535. Dunk from the sky (6000 words please vote)

    Tyronn Lue, Hamilton, Larry Hughes, Christian Laettner, the substitute lineup includes Jerome James, Marcus Fizer, Pedrag Drobiak, Bran  Den Haywood, Brian Russell, Juan Dixon, Jared Jeffries.

    The Wizards began to vigorously recruit high-quality role players last summer. After Yao Ming joined the Wizards and signed a four-year, $19.26 million rookie contract with a starting salary of $4.02 million, the Wizards' total salary directly reached more than $53.39 million.  !

    Will have to pay $1.27 million in luxury tax!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The lineup is really good, both inside and outside, there are good starters and substitutes.

    Zhang Hao looked at the opposing lineup 'Really, maybe with Alexander, other teams will spend as much as they can to get a center like Yao Ming, and they will definitely make money back'

    Zhang Hao remembers that in the original time and space, Yao Ming played for the Rockets for 7 years and paid a total of less than 5 million US dollars in luxury tax. Next season, the Wizards will far exceed this share in one year.

    ¡®Hey, it¡¯s a pity that the Wizards are unwilling to give Hamilton to us¡¯

    It doesn¡¯t mean that once the training camp is started and ready, we should focus on tapping internal potential, and we won¡¯t consider more possibilities.

    After arriving in Beijing, Howard Schultz had many conversations with Wizards owner Pauline about Hamilton¡¯s trade.

    But unfortunately, even if the Sonics offer a very good bargaining chip + multiple draft picks, the Wizards do not intend to trade.

    Hamilton, who mainly plays without the ball and averaged 20.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals last season, has a three-year contract extension of 23 million. Such a high-quality player + a high-quality contract No one except Michael Jordan would be willing to trade.  go out.

    Su Qun, the commentator of the Chaoting Sports Channel, was also introducing the Wizards' lineup, and gave his evaluation that it was better than the Lakers lineup that Zhang Hao joined in 1995.

    Larry Hughes and Hamilton are both average scorers of 20+ per game.

    Other players are either experienced veterans or capable players, and the lineup is also very deep!

    ¡®With Eddie Jordan as the head coach, is he going to play the triangle offense?  ¡¯

    Zhang Hao was thinking about how Yao Ming would play with such a lineup when the tallest man in the game came next to him.

    "Brother Hao, I didn't expect that my opponent in my first NBA game would be you! That's great!"

    Zhang Hao looked at Yao Ming and wanted to reach out and take off the hair tie on Yao Ming's head. It was really ugly.

    "Xiao Ming, the last time a rookie was so happy to meet me was the last time"

    "ah?"

    "Ahem, I mean, the last time I met a rookie I was so happy about was Tim Duncan. I hope you don't disgrace the best player in our class in odd-numbered years."

    Yao Ming was shocked when he heard this. In the NCAA, he also had two dominant seasons, and responded: "Brother Hao, even if I become the No. 1 pick, I will definitely be better than the old!  "

    Zhang Hao turned his head and clenched his fist - hit him!  Whatever you say, hit him!

    Yao Ming held up his headband and asked, "By the way, Brother Hao, where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you since the training camp started."

    Zhang Hao responded honestly: "I am practicing vertical take-off and frame protection, strengthening baseline defensive movement, baseline contraction defensive training, and expansion defense that connects these basic defensive skills."

    Yao Ming¡¯s mind flashed with the scene of Zhang Hao¡¯s defense He frowned, this was unusual!

    "Brother Hao, why do I feel like you are practicing this specially to deal with me?"

    "Xiao Ming, you are very smart and you guessed it right."

    Zhang Hao looks good when he smiles, but rarely smiles in public. Seeing Zhang Hao smile, Yao Ming felt a chill coming from his vest at this moment.

    This man who taught him how to play definitely had evil intentions!

    ¡­¡­

    The first time the NBA plays a game in China, it won¡¯t be a big deal 10 or 20 years from now.

    But after being weak for hundreds of years, China needs encouragement from all aspects to stand up again.

    It is a very exciting thing for the Chinese people to have world-class competitions come to China.

    From the outside to the inside, to coming from the heart, self-confidence needs to be done step by step.

    Zhang Hao and his father, his distant cousin, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming have all talked about these aspects.

    Rebuilding the pride of a great nation is not something that happens overnight.Hey, both teams are working hard to implement their tactics in the new offensive round. In this way, regardless of the score, at least from this aspect, it is very interesting.

    Players from both teams are also involved.

    The Wizards have so many young talents with great talent and drive.

    The Sonics have the best players in the world and a great starting lineup.

    For both sides, the opponents are good opponents for adjusting tactics in the preseason.

    Yao Ming was cautious at first, but after being blocked by Ben Wallace, he became cautious for fear of being tormented by Zhang Hao again.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s devilish smile before the game was so handsome that it penetrated the depths of Yao Ming¡¯s heart.

    Yao Ming thought about it. The top picks from the 1996 to 1999, as long as they were capable, had been toyed by Zhang Hao. Yao Ming felt that he was capable and he did not want to be toyed by Zhang Hao.

    But as the game progressed, Yao Ming gradually relaxed his vigilance and devoted himself to running in with his teammates.

    If possible, judging from what the two teams showed on the field in this game, both sides hope that the preseason opponents will always be each other. The concentration of the two teams on the field is suitable for being a sparring partner before the start of the season.

    It¡¯s time for the Sonics to attack again, and Zhang Hao catches the ball from the baseline. This time, Brian Russell on the Wizards¡¯ wing moved in advance to block Zhang Hao¡¯s path to turn over, and Yao Ming extended out to flank him.

    Zhang Hao scored the ball, and Kirilenko on the wing received the ball from the sideline and shot a three-pointer

    Yao Ming immediately shrank back after Kirilenko received the ball, and the ball bounced high on the basket!

    Yao Ming occupied a favorable position, took off, grabbed the board Suddenly, he was hit in the back!  Then, as if the lights dimmed, Yao Ming looked up and saw Zhang Hao's upper body appearing above him. He touched the ball first and pushed the ball directly into the basket!

    Yao Ming was knocked forward and ran forward a few steps before he regained his balance. He looked at Zhang Hao, who was holding the basket with one hand and falling down from a squat to relieve his pressure He had been on guard for so long, just because there were 7 seconds left before halftime ended.  After relaxing for a moment, he was dunked!

    At this moment, the scene was silent for a moment, and then burst into crazy cheers!

    Zhang Hao just took off half a step outside the right sideline of the three-second zone, pressed on Yao Ming's back and smashed the ball into the basket. The scene is not too exaggerated!

    The referee blew the whistle when Zhang Hao landed to save face, let Zhang Hao go to the free throw line, and let the fans cheer for a while longer.

    Zhang Hao stood up after releasing his strength and listened to the roar of cheers at the scene. It was very refreshing!

    Classmate Xiao Ming was too alert, so Zhang Hao didn¡¯t force himself and chose to wait for the opportunity.

    No, no matter how alert Xiao Ming is, he will still slack off sometimes.

    Zhang Hao looked at Yao Ming, who put away his chin and put his hands on his hips, showing a bitter face. He walked up to Yao Ming, raised his head, tilted his neck and said, "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

 Chapter 536 536. The super frontcourt that even scares me (6000 words please vote)

    The NBA debut of Yao Ming, the No. 1 pick in the 2001 draft, left a wonderful sceneas the background.

    The outcome of a preseason game, the performance of the players are not important.

    The scene of Zhang Hao completing the make-up dunk across Yao Ming is the scene that people remember.

    Yao Ming¡¯s first game after joining the NBA was set against such a famous scene, which made people sigh - he is indeed the number one center selected in odd-numbered years.

    In the end, the SuperSonics easily defeated the Wizards 117-99.

    Although the Wizards are ambitious and have an excellent lineup, they have just begun to get out of the quagmire, and there is still a long way to go.

    Against the Wizards, the Sonics have a very obvious advantage.

    Several players from the two teams that people value, including Larry Hughes of the Wizards, were miserable tonight. They encountered the defensive battle of Artest and Zhang Hao, and the performance was very uncomfortable.

    Larry Rest is not the same guy who will be forced to practice three-pointers in the future. Facing the pressing defense of Artest and Zhang Hao, it will be as uncomfortable as possible.

    Hamilton's performance was stable, playing 29 minutes and scoring 17 points on 6 of 12 shots.

    As for the SuperSonics, fans attach great importance to the status of Brent Barry, Cassell, Artest, and Ben Wallace.

    Zhang Hao performed so well in the World Championships a month ago, so there is no need to worry about his condition.

    The SuperSonics have replaced many newcomers who have entered the NBA in the new century this year. Fans want to care about these newcomers, but they don¡¯t know what to care about.

    What the fans pay attention to is the other four starters.

    It¡¯s hard to say what the status of Cassell and Brent Barry is. They haven¡¯t played for too long and haven¡¯t needed to use their outside abilities.

    But Artest and Ben Wallace seem to be more courageous on the defensive end than last season.

    In this game, the media and fans paid the most attention to, of course, Yao Ming, the No. 1 pick in the 2001 session.

    Played 33 minutes, made 6 of 13 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. This was Yao Ming's performance throughout the game.

    Compared with Zhang Hao, it is definitely far behind.

    Compared with Ben Wallace, Yao Ming has a qualitative gap, which means he bullies Tyson Chandler and Chris Anderson.

    But there¡¯s one thing ¨C there¡¯s no water!

    The day before yesterday, on the 10th, the Rockets and the Mavericks played a preseason game in the United States. Jay Williams, the new No. 1 pick in the NBA, faced the Mavericks and made 2 of 9 shots, scoring 5 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.  There were 6 turnovers and the Rockets were defeated 87-114.

    Jay Williams has performed very well in college in the past two years. There are many fans across the country. Many people are saying that Jay Williams just has not adapted to the confrontation of the NBA.

    But there are also many people who think that Jay Williams played very well with his physical fitness in the NCAA, but in the NBA, his physical fitness is not enough.

    However, Zhang Hao has already discovered the magical product of the future - mommy powder.

    Whenever someone says something bad about Jay Williams, a group of mother fans will come out and start criticizing him, eventually leading to a scolding war.

    Yao Ming scored 15+9+2+2 in his debut, a solid performance as a first-class center.

    Mainly in terms of playing style, Yao Ming's performance was not achieved by "explosion", but by steadily executing tactics, making good use of his body size, skills, etc. Under normal playing style, he scored 15 points and 2 assists, and 9 more.  Defensive performance with 2 blocks on the board,

    At this time, some people said that Yao Ming¡¯s performance was what the No. 1 pick should have performed. Then, Jay Williams¡¯ mother fans became outraged and went to the forum to confront them

    ¡­¡­

    During the China Game in Beijing, the media and fans saw two things. First, Zhang Hao¡¯s dunk. Second, Yao Ming might be able to play as a first-class center in his rookie season without water.

    ??For rookie centers in recent years, this is already outstanding.

    On the 15th, the SuperSonics and Wizards came to Nanjing to play the second China game. The X-ray Club is in Suzhou, but Nanjing only has a stadium that can accommodate 18,000 seats.

    In this game, both teams have a tacit understanding and continue to play tactics and practice adjustments after the Beijing game.

    Yao Ming had some problems tonighthe had 4 defensive three seconds.

    In high school, college, national team and other games, there is no defensive three seconds. In the first game, he received a whistle for defending three seconds. However, Yao Ming paid special attention to and got used to defending three seconds in the first game, but he was worried about being beaten again.  Zhang Hao bullied him and stayed in the three-second zone defensively for a long time. The referee really couldn't stand it anymore. There should be at least 2-3 more defensive three-second violations.

    There is no way, the first pre-season game has locked the season.?The defensive progress is also very fast. He can be selected for the first defense at the age of only 21, but his situation is very different from Artest.

    Kobe's defense has been pretty good since junior high school, and the same goes for high school. His poor defense in the first two years after entering the NBA was because his body was not fully developed yet, but his skills have always been online. He has been imitating Jordan's offense and defense. Since his basic defensive skills and skills are online,  , when the body becomes stronger, the defense will naturally be better.

    Artest, when he first entered the NBA, he looked like just a muscle tank with no skills.

    But three years later, Artest has transformed from a rough guy to a defensive boss with great defensive skills but still wearing the cloak of a "rough guy"!

    This speed of defensive improvement, although it is only at the age of 23 that he has the ability to find the best defensive formation and attack the first defense, in fact, Zhang Hao is more shocked than Kobe's defensive improvement.

    Artest basically started from scratch his defensive talent exploded!

    But no matter how powerful Artest is, he can¡¯t compare to the visual impact that Ben Wallace has brought to Zhang Hao in the past three years

    A defensive rating of 103!

    ¡®Can Uncle Mu and Dameng have the defense of Big Ben when they are at their peak?  It¡¯s hard to say.

    In terms of defensive comprehensiveness, they are definitely better, but their static physical conditions are too different.

    But with the same defensive system built around it, it should be stronger.  ¡¯

    Ben Wallace has officially become the core of the Sonics' defense since the 2000-01 season. After the Sonics built a defense around him, he has accumulated a lot of experience and has made leaps and bounds in defense for three consecutive years!

    Looking at the defensive evaluations of Artest and Ben Wallace, and then looking at the substitute lineup that already has a first-class defensive player Kirilenko and Chandler who are just on the edge of first-class defense in the second year, Zhang Hao felt a little sympathetic.  rival.

    Defending this matter

    In addition to these old teammates, there are also player detection reports for 6 new teammates.

    "Brent Barry, 31 years old, 201 cm, 96 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 78, defense 81"

    Seeing Brent Barry¡¯s player detection report and comparing the 20-year-old Parker and the 21-year-old Kirilenko, Zhang Hao can only say that there is really nothing that can be done about talent.

    Brent Barry is still at the tail end of his prime, but his peak was a level that geniuses like Parker and Kirilenko could easily reach.

    ¡°But this is professional sports.

    If it¡¯s a group of friends looking for a golf course to play ball, it doesn¡¯t matter what their talent is, as long as everyone is happy.

    For most people, it¡¯s not time to compete for talent yet, even for many professional players.

    ??????????????????? But the top level of a sport like the NBA requires winning or losing from multiple aspects, and talent is naturally one of the most important aspects.

    The most important thing in playing basketball is talent, but in NBA, the most important thing is talent.

    "Manu Ginobili, 25 years old, 198 cm, 93 kg, ability evaluation 76, offense 79, defense 75"

    ¡®Sure enough, just like the performance in the preseason, Yaodao is quite mediocre on the whole now. It needs to adapt, adjust its playing style and it also needs no-handcheck.  ¡¯

    Although Ginobili is not strong enough yet and cannot directly bring his dominance in the international arena to the NBA, the thing that Zhang Hao is least worried about is Ginobili. This is a talent that he can safely choose to let go.  .

    Artest needs Jordan¡¯s education, Ben Wallace needs years of accumulation, Chandler needs patient training, Parker needs special care Ginobili doesn¡¯t need it.

    From all aspects, Ginobili is already a very mature player. If Ginobili cannot grow into a scorer averaging 15+ per game in the future, then it can only be said that he is not suitable.

    Of course, if you want Ginobili to average 20+ points per game, it will be difficult.

    "Carlos Arroyo, 23 years old, 188 cm, 90 kg, ability evaluation 69, offense 73, defense 65"

    ¡®This¡­ third point guard, let¡¯s just use it, three-pointers are still okay, he is strong and can be a pushing guard.  ¡¯

    "Chris Anderson, 24 years old, 208 cm, 111 kg, ability evaluation 68, offense 59, defense 79"

    ¡®He has excellent rushing ability and can defend above the standard at both the power forward and center positions. He is a very good fourth and fifth insider.  ¡¯

    "Matt Barnes, 22 years old, 203 cm, 100 kg, ability evaluation 67, offense 61, defense 73"

    'It's okay. A bad guy with defensive talent. If he is given more playing time, his defensive improvement may be more obvious, just like World Peace But it is impossible to do that. At most, he will be at the shooting guard and small forward positions.  The No. 5 candidate, the outside priority is outside the top six.  ¡¯

    "Reggie Evans, 22 years old, 203 cm, 110 kg, ability rating 64, offense 50, defense 71, rebounds 93"

    Jia Dajia is another year older. He is aging seriously and his offensive end is even more bleak. Zhang Hao did not expect that a 22-year-old young man would be worse offensively than the old Jia Dajia!

    Jia Dajun¡¯s offense is worse than Big Ben¡¯s. Zhang Hao was already complaining, but now comes an even worse one.

    ¡®This is the poor version of Jia Jia, are you all looking up to this rebounder?

    In the two years when Jia was at his peak, he was at the edge of the All-Star level. In the first year of his contract with the Nets, he averaged 10+13 per game.

    But the backup at the end of the paint is okay.  ¡¯

    After reading the player detection reports of his teammates, Zhang Hao was generally quite satisfied.

    The characteristic of their SuperSonics team this year is youth!

    When Jordan announced his retirement, the Sonics' team building ideas were also rapidly adjusted. The role players signed were mainly young players - Arroyo, Chris Anderson, and Reggie Evans.

    Last season and last season, the Sonics were one of the oldest teams in the league, but this season, the average age of the 14 Sonics players is 25.07 years old, ranking third in the league after the Warriors and Nuggets.  !

    ¡®It¡¯s still a bit unfamiliar. We used to have several players over 35 years old, but now Alien and Jia Dajun are the two oldest players¡¯

    Finally, Zhang Hao looked at his comprehensive evaluation again.

    ¡°Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

    Age and date of birth: 25 years old, January 7, 1977.

    Height 211 cm, wingspan 223 cm

    Weight: 109 kg.

    Location:?.

    In the end, with Zhang Hao¡¯s 31 points, Cassell¡¯s 19 points and 10 assists, and Ben Wallace¡¯s 7 points, 17 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 blocks¡­ the SuperSonics defeated the Suns 106-94 and won the opening game!

    Zhang Hao only played 33 minutes in the game and spent a lot of time observing the performance of his teammates.

    The focus is on Ginobili.

    Ginobili scored 8 points tonight and his performance was okaybut that's not the point.

    Zhang Hao watched a Ginobili game and knew why Ginobili's ability evaluation was only 76.

    It wasn't obvious in the preseason, but it became obvious in the regular season. Six of Ginobili's eight points were scored in a short period of time, with a total of 17 minutes on the court, about 10 minutes.  Didn't make any contribution

    With this characteristic, Zhang Hao couldn¡¯t even guess how Ginobili would grow next.

    Anyway, judging from the current situation, unless the shooting rights and playing time are piled up for Ginobili, Ginobili does not have the ability to average 10+ points per game.

    In this opening game, what Zhang Hao regrets most is the No. 1 player on the opposite side

    The game was broadcast live on the t.n.t sports station. When analyzing the starting lineup of the two teams, Barkley commented on the star Anfernee Hardaway of his old club: "We can see that Hardaway's state has obviously improved last season.  He is a very good player, but he has played for so many years and is in the tenth year of his career. I can hardly remember what achievements he has had.

    He is very good. Everyone who has watched him play will compare him with Jordan, Magic, and Bird. Now they will also compare him with Iverson, Bryant, and McGrady, but he  Just like Richmond, his supporters can only say good things about him, but by the end of his career, they may not be able to find any strong evidence to support this view. I have to say that this is a very regrettable thing"

 Chapter 538 538. The new top scholar worth 15 destiny (6000 words please vote)

    Since a certain year, ¡®win the championship while the Buddha¡¯s light is not around¡¯ has become a popular vocabulary in this era of NBA.

    Just like in the 1980s, the Magic Bird took advantage of the tiredness to win the championship. From 1980 to 1989, the Magic Bird won 8 championships in 10 years.

    In the 1990s, the Shenfo Meng won the championship before it was complete, retired or old. From 1990 to 1999, the Shenfo Meng won 8 championships.

    There are always a few superstars who dominate an era. Now the Buddha's light still shines on the NBA, but there are still some superstars shining brightly.

    The 76ers were the double champions in 1999, and the Pacers were everyone's team in 2000.

    And those two years happened to be the two years when Anfernee Hardaway was at his peak, but the Suns were defeated by the Lakers and Trail Blazers. Not only did they fail to win the championship, they didn't even make it to the finals.

    In the first game of the new season, Anfernee Hardaway scored 16 points and 10 assists, but he made 6 of 20 shots. Although the defense of the meat grinder composed of Artest, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace was very strong,  But Anfernee Hardaway was also a man who could score 41 points in a single game in the playoffs with O'Neal's frame protection and Payton's outside defense.

    Now Anfernee Hardaway's skills are still comprehensive and his style of play is still versatile, but his personal offense in the opening game seemed so weak Barkley's words made Penny fans uncomfortable. In this regard, Tracy McGrady in the original time and space  Fans can clearly feel it.

    But in every era, there are always some players who are amazing to the world but have difficulty leaving their mark on NBA history. For example, Mitch, who was known as the second shooting guard in the league and surpassed Drexler in reputation.  -Richmond, now regrets retiring after losing consecutive games. In the end, he failed to get the O'Brien Cup that he still couldn't touch after giving up millions of dollars.

    However, more people will not notice the frustrated.

    The SuperSonics' opening game has attracted much attention. Zhang Hao's performance is still outstanding, Cassell is getting older and stronger, Artest is improving at an alarming ratethe most surprising thing is Ben Wallace!

    In the first game, Ben Wallace played 35 minutes, scoring 7 points, 17 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 blocks Looking at this game alone, when Ben Wallace was on the court, he limited his opponents to 85 points per 100 possessions!

    Everyone thought that last season was the peak of Ben Wallace. Who would have thought that in the new season, Ben Wallace looks even stronger!

    People who watched the game will find it incredible when they see Ben Wallace's sweeping defense.

    As quick as Rodman, as fierce as Malone, as sharp as Garnett

    With Ben Wallace on the court, Artest, Ginobili or Brent Barry who are defending from the top of the arc can more simply and easily focus on one-on-one defense and moving defense on the wings after being passed, protecting the frame.  Zhang Hao or Chandler can focus on protecting the frame without worrying about being penetrated directly from the outside.

    You can focus on simpler things, making these people more defensively efficient!

    From a longer-term perspective, Ben Wallace can also drive players who are not doing well in defensive cooperation or are not good at defending now to find more suitable, simpler and more effective ones in the future.  The defensive method will lead to the improvement of the whole team's defense!

    Fox Sports commentator and Hawks star Dominic Wilkins, nicknamed the Essence of Human Movies, lamented in an interview: "I have thought about how the Sonics will get out of the inevitable decline caused by Jordan's retirement.  Seeing that they have introduced so many young players, I thought they would tap the offensive potential from young players to make up for the offensive decline caused by Jordan's retirement.

    I used to think that the management of the Sonics was very risky because they had no intention of bringing in experienced veterans this year. They gave up on signing many capable veterans in their early 30s.

    ¡°But I never expected that they actually wanted to start from the defensive end. What surprised me even more was Wallace¡¯s defensive performance"

    ¡­¡­

    Last season, Ben Wallace won the rebounds + blocks + dpoy, was selected to the All-Stars, the second team and the first defense, and won the Player of the Month. Everyone thought that was the limit of what a defensive player could do.  .

    Even Mutombo¡¯s defensive performance in his peak season, or Olajuwon¡¯s offensive performance, were not as good as Ben Wallace¡¯s performance last season.

    But in the opening game of the new season, Ben Wallace was a surprise!

    On the defensive end, Ben Wallace¡¯s presence is not inferior to Zhang Hao¡¯s presence on the offensive end!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    After the opening game, the SuperSonics' new season officially kicked off.

    The day after playing the Suns, the Sonics left Seattle on the morning of October 31st and began a road trip.

    One wave of threeIn the second half of the quarter, the Sonics defended the Hornets and only scored 5 points in the half, and the Sonics scored 12 points themselves, going 12-5!

    In the end, the SuperSonics reversed the Hornets 98-94!

    Zhang Hao scored 29 points, Cassell 21 points, Artest 16 points, and Parker 10 points. At the last moment, Zhang Hao, Cassell, and Artest scored 12 points together to complete the comeback and beat the Sonics.  The team is excited!

    ¡­¡­

    The process was bumpy, but the Sonics won all 4 games in the first week and started with a 4-game winning streak!

    On November 6th, the SuperSonics returned to Seattle.

    At 12 noon, the league announced the Player of the Week for the first week, the Western Conference winner Ben Wallace!

    The winner of the Eastern Conference Best of the Week is Gary Payton of the Bucks. He averaged 22 points and 10 assists in 4 games, with 3 wins and 1 loss. The Bucks temporarily ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

    In the afternoon, Seattle Key Arena, SuperSonics post-game analysis meeting.

    Ben Wallace felt cold on his neck, foreheadeverywhere.

    Listening to the congratulations from his teammates, Ben Wallace felt like the magic sound was urging him to die!

    There is nothing he can do!

    The Best of the Week award was given to him, what else could he do?  Is it wrong to perform too well?

    The Sonics played four games in the first week, and it was obvious that they had big problems, the biggest of which was instability on the offensive end.

    This year¡¯s SuperSonics team has mostly young players. They are more energetic and have more possibilities, but the stability has naturally declined.

    Under this situation, the SuperSonics can still maintain their dominance, winning 4 consecutive games in the beginning, relying on defense, of course!

    And the Sonics defense - relies on Ben Wallace!

 Chapter 539 539. Common misunderstandings

    It¡¯s not that Ben Wallace¡¯s defense supports everything for the Sonics. On the contrary, Ben Wallace is not that support point.

    Zhang Hao's scoring ability of 30+ per game, Cassel's personal offense and organizational offense of 18+9 per game, Artest's impact of 15+ points per game and the team's strength around Ben Wallace.  Defensive adjustments, these are the foundation and what support the entire Sonics team.

    Ben Wallace just took advantage of the favorable conditions, allowing the Sonics to always play extremely terrifying defense at a certain stage.

    However, if there is no Ben Wallace, even if there are these foundations, they are just the foundation.

    Due to the overall lineup, the SuperSonics rarely limits the opponent's score to less than 90 points, but no matter how fast the opponent is, no matter how ferocious the opponent's offense is, by the end of the game, the score will only be around 95 points!

    Even if the Hornets and Warriors are two teams that are very good at scoring at the beginning of this season, they can't score more than 100 points against the Sonics.

    During this period, Ben Wallace¡¯s performance was so dazzling!

    As a pure defensive player, even Rodman and Mutombo have never been so dazzling.

    The sense of presence is so strong that even Zhang Hao's edge is covered.

    It¡¯s just that, after getting this ¡®useless prize¡¯, Ben Wallace felt very hot.

    Have you seen the iron elbow falling from the sky?

    Ben Wallace hasn¡¯t seen it either, but I¡¯m afraid!

    The post-game analysis meeting went very smoothly. After all, we all won. Good feedback always outweighs negative feedback.

    After the meeting, Zhang Hao and the coaching staff discussed how to adjust next.

    Hornacek said: "Our framework seems to be correct, and then we need to do a good job in coaching the players."

    Zhang Hao heard this and asked: "Don't we need to adjust our tactics? Our stability is a problem."

    Paul Westphal said: "It is normal to have poor stability. It is strange that so many young players can stabilize so quickly."

    Doug Collins said: "It's unstable. If you play more games, it will naturally become stable. If there are still no signs of stability after more games, trade the players so that we don't delay each other."

    Scott Collins said: "Akers, in the seasons you played before, many things went too smoothly. You will always encounter situations like this. Your career will be long in the future, and you have to get used to your teammates not always being so good.  It takes time to get used to teammates becoming better, so there is no need to rush.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    After returning to Seattle for a night¡¯s rest, on November 7th, the SuperSonics faced the challenge from last season¡¯s Western Conference Finals opponent, the Kings, at home.

    "King, you are so unlucky"

    "Who says it's not?"

    Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi looked at Webb, Bibby, Bobby Jackson and Jim Jackson in suits on the bench of the Kings with mixed emotions.

    Last season, the Kings renewed the contracts of all five starting players until at least 2006.

    During the offseason, the Kings used an eight-man rotation of Weber, Wang Zhizhi, Bibby, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, Peja, Turkoglu, and Scott Pollard to complete the rotation with two full-time players.  The mid-level contract poached the Raptors' 13th pick in the first round of 1998, Geion Clark, and signed Jim Jackson, one of the former Dallas 3Js, with a base salary of US$790,000 a year, which provided strong reinforcements both inside and outside.  .

    Zeon Clark had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks last season, making him the Raptors' strongest substitute inside.

    Jim Jackson played as a substitute for the Heat last season and averaged 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

    But at the beginning of the new season, after playing 4 games, Webb was injured in the second game, Bibby was injured in the third game, and Bobby Jackson and Jim Jackson collided in training after the third game.  Injured together

    With all four players needing to be out for at least two weeks, the Kings have not been going well from the start of the season.

    Affected by injuries, the Kings started with 1 win and 3 losses, and are currently ranked 12th in the Western Conference.

    No one thinks that the Kings' 1-3 start and 12th place in the Western Conference will be the Kings' final winning rate and record. However, the Kings were very healthy last season, and this season does not seem to go so well For Zhang Hao, playing against opponents like the Kings,  The opponent is missing four main players, which is quite sad.

    But from the perspective of the entire Sonics team, 4 of the 10 main players of their opponents are missing, which is a good thing in the running-in stage at the beginning of the season.

    The Kings lost the second and third games because both Webber and Bibby were injured and left the game after more than one quarter of the game. Adelman made poor adjustments on the spot and lost in the end.

    But when prepared, the king??Invested in a new arena.

    Although it is impossible to directly increase the shares of the team, the SuperSonics' situation that the arena belongs to the team is different from the Lakers and Clippers.

    Although the Lakers and Clippers both hold part of the Staples Center, if they want to sell the team, they cannot sell the arena together.

    The Sonics are different. If the team is to be sold, the arena must be purchased together. For example, when Howard Schultz bought the Sonics, Key Arena had to be purchased together.

    The Sonics and Jordan both want to be bound to each other. The former wants to take advantage of the latter's influence, and the latter wants to become the owner of a successful team and also wants to embrace Howard Schultz.  Their thighs fit together instantly.

    Jordan¡¯s curve offense increased the team¡¯s overall equity share.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Jordan¡¯s acquisition of other scattered shares is not progressing smoothly, and those small shareholders are not stupid. If they want to sell, they don¡¯t want to sell now. The market value of the team will definitely increase.

    The league has hired a new group of negotiators and is negotiating new broadcast agreements with major TV stations. In the summer of 2004, the temporary broadcast agreement from the 98-99 season to the 2003-04 season negotiated by Adam Silva during the lockout will be  Finish.

    Originally, Adam Silva was suspended, under investigation, went to court, and the verdict could not be handed down for a year and a half etc. After basically bidding farewell to professional sports, public opinion generally believed that the commercial aspect of the NBA would be greatly affected.

    But the latest situation is that major TV stations are quite enthusiastic when negotiating new broadcast agreements, and sponsors have not stopped investing just because Adam Silva is missing.

    At this time, people discovered a misunderstanding about this matter, a misunderstanding shared by NBA team owners and league officials - sponsors and TV stations gave more money because of Adam Silva.

    On behalf of the NBA, Adam Silva signed a better broadcast agreement with broadcasters than before, and signed a better sponsorship contract with sponsors than before the last lockout. This is true, and it is also Adam Silva.  The reason why he became famous in one battle and directly became the candidate for NBA president, surpassing Stu Jackson who had been following David Stern for more than ten years.

    But the core reason that can facilitate these things is not how strong Adam Silva¡¯s negotiation skills are.

    Adam Silva¡¯s ability to negotiate business must have played a certain role, but the most important thing is the exciting games and high ratings!

    According to the latest news, the increase in broadcast fees from major TV stations is likely to increase by US$400 million on the previous basis, which is higher than the possible increase in the next broadcast contract revealed by Adam Silva when he was in office.  Some!

    This means that after the new broadcast agreement begins in 2004, in the 2005-06 season, the salary cap increase brought about by the new broadcast agreement alone will reach US$6 million.

    People have discovered that as long as the ratings of the game continue to increase and the attention remains so high, and someone with a sharp tongue and thick skin can negotiate, new broadcast contracts, sponsorship fees, etc. will continue to increase.

    Based on this situation, it would be difficult for Jordan to acquire shares of the Sonics in a short period of time, and he would have to spend more money in the future.

    In addition to the increase in the market value of the team brought about by the increase in income, there are also dividends

    The Sonics' net profit last season was higher than that of the Lakers, and it may be higher than that of the Knicks this season. The Sonics' income is still lower than that of the Knicks and Lakers, but the Sonics' salary expenses are small, especially this season.  The salary cap is not even filled.

    Each team in the NBA has a different way of distributing dividends. The SuperSonics' dividend distribution is pretty good in the entire league.

    Howard Schultz doesn¡¯t care about the money, and he doesn¡¯t buy the team to make money, but that¡¯s not the case with other shareholders.

    Visiting the White House, Jordan, who won FMVP at the age of 39, chatted and laughed with the US leader

    The SuperSonics have started the new season with 8 consecutive victories and are in the spotlight.

    At this start, the SuperSonics coaching staff and players did not expect that there would be several stumbling games, but in the end, Zhang Hao's offensive efforts and Ben Wallace's strong defensive support eventually won the game smoothly.

    Coming to the White House is also a very happy thing. This is proof that they won the championship last season.

    only¡­¡­

    Amidst the peace, someone is acting like a monster again.

    The leader congratulated Zhang Hao on leading the team to an 8-game winning streak.

    Zhang Hao responded: "Thank you Mr. President, but our performance at the beginning of this year was actually not that good. The overall performance was average, but this year's opponents are quite weak. I hope they can work harder."

 Chapter 540 540. Making Three Thousand Enemies

    In the White House, I told the leader of the Takachan family, ¡®It¡¯s not that we are too strong, it¡¯s that our opponents are too weak¡¯.

    With that calm expression and clear eyes, everyone who saw and heard it could feel that the young man in front of them came from the bottom of their hearts.

    It doesn¡¯t matter to the group of officials. The commander-in-chief just receives the four major league championship teams on a routine basis, so it doesn¡¯t matter if he gets such a response.

    But the media clicked the shutter, as if the film was free of charge.

    As for the Sonics, not to mention the management and coaching staff, even many players are in bad shape.

    Isn¡¯t this smooth and even start a bad start?

    Do you have to create difficulty even if there is no difficulty?

    ¡­¡­

    On the evening of the day the Sonics visited the White House, a player No. 24, who did not want to be named or reveal his whereabouts, came to a small villa on the outskirts of Washington.

    "Brother Hao, didn't you say you wanted to bring your teammates with you?"

    "My teammates they have something to do, so I'm the only one here."

    "Yes, they like to be carpenters, screwdrivers, electricians, and welders, and they are busy. If you see them on the road later, don't disturb them. We can just leave quietly."

    "ah?"

    "It's not important, Xiao Ming, why did you buy such a small house?"

    "Poor! House prices in the United States are so expensive."

    "The No. 1 pick, you said you were poor That's right. You promised to give 60% of your salary to the Blue Association every year. In the words of you Shanghainese, you are crazy. Forget it, don't you still have endorsement fees? They take this.  No way!"

    "Lily said that the house is enough to live in, and there is no need to buy such a big house. It would be great to return to China in the future, get some land like you, and build a big villa by yourself."

    "Lily, it's Lily when I say it. I'm really scared. Are you going to build a house in Shanghai? Then you should do it early. In a few years, it will cost a lot more money."

    "Will domestic housing prices rise? Like in the United States?"

    "Well, the price will rise in China for a long time. You can't make much money by entering the market now in the United States. It may be overpriced but not marketable. But if you have high-quality housing, you can still sell it in two or three years You  It¡¯s good not to buy an expensive house now. If you want to change your house in the future, you can do so after the price drops.¡±

    Listening to Zhang Hao's words, Yao Ming nodded with all his thoughts in mind.

    Anyway, let¡¯s believe it first.

    Based on his understanding of Zhang Hao, there must be no problem in these aspects. It is said that the top leaders of the country are preparing to leave the position of chief sponsor of the Chinese Olympic Team in the 2008 Beijing Olympics to x Sports

    What Yao Ming is thinking about now is how to make good use of the ¡®commercial secrets¡¯ revealed by Zhang Hao.

    However, this matter should not be rushed. Yao Ming is very curious, why is Brother Ritian acting like a thief today?

    ¡­¡­

    It feels good for a while.

    Teammates, coaches, and management people all want to hang Zhang Hao up and beat him.

    Going to the head of the Taka-chan family and saying, ¡®The other teams are too weak and they need to work harder¡¯ Is there anything more that could put other teams on top than this?

    Since the beginning of the season, except for when he bullied the new No. 1 pick Jay Williams and started a wave of taunting mode, Zhang Hao has kept a low profile at other times.

    Even the limelight was done by Ben Wallace.

    The management, coaches, and teammates all feel that Zhang Hao has become more mature and has become a better boss after the team has no veterans.

    Now they understand that Zhang Hao is just holding back his ultimate move!

    Jordan really wants to cry!

    ??What kind of world is this when you can be robbed of the limelight when you are the boss!

    When the media exposed what happened in the White House, Zhang Hao quickly dominated the headlines of major news sections.

    What¡¯s the most outrageous thing?  Everyone felt that Zhang Hao was serious about what he said!

    Including his teammates, everyone felt that Zhang Hao really said this because his opponent was too weak.

    The only undefeated team so far this season.

    This summer, every team has undergone changes to some extent. The summer of 2002 was a summer of shock for all NBA teams.

    Big things happened to the SuperSonics. Jordan retired, and the team¡¯s future plans changed and became younger

    Logically speaking, the Sonics should be one of the teams most affected, ranking among the top three.

    But the SuperSonics started the new season with 8 consecutive wins.

    In addition, there is one statistic: Zhang Hao crushed the heroes!

    Points per game, this is not bad, Zhang Hao averaged 33.6 points per game, ranking first in the league?, met Artest on the offensive end.

    Larry Hughes is a thin, breakthrough swingman. It just so happens that Artest can restrain this type of defender, and Larry Hughes is on the gun.

    But Hamilton ran out of position under the pursuit of Brent Barry. Larry Hughes broke through to the baseline and failed to get rid of the defense. He was forced to stop the ball by Artest and looked at Ben Wallace.  The soldiers had already attacked from a flank, and Hamilton ran to the receiving position!

    Larry Hughes passed the ball really well. He was one step away from the free throw line on the left side of the three-second zone. Hamilton caught the ball and took a quick shot. Before Zhang Hao could make up for it, he quickly threw the ball out and it went in!

    This ability to catch and shoot is breathtaking!

    Since Larry Hughes' breakthrough, the Sonics have been cutting off the passing and receiving lines.

    ??It is only Hamilton who can catch the ball by running at full speed almost the entire distance in four or five seconds, changing direction, and running around the pile.

    Not to mention receiving the ball, Hamilton can still run at full speed for four or five seconds and take action immediately without adjusting.

    With a mid-range shooting percentage, Hamilton will be close to the top mid-range shooters.

    But his ability to create shooting opportunities on his own is amazing.

    ????????????????????????????????????????: The off-ball shooter can create opportunities on his own when his teammates with the ball cannot open them up. This is what distinguishes most of Hamilton's off-ball pitchers.

    But Hamilton¡¯s strongest point is that he can make his opponents run away

    The Sonics players didn¡¯t feel it deeply during the preseason. At that time, the Wizards focused on practical tactics.

    Now, Sonics defenders are feeling it

    As the game progressed, the Wizards used Hamilton's running position as a breakthrough just like in previous games this season, and the offense gradually became smoother!

    If you don¡¯t play against the Wizards in person, you will mistakenly think that the Wizards¡¯ style of play is an attack starting from Larry Hughes¡¯ sudden score.

    It looks like that, but what really happened was that Hamilton's movement started to open up the situation.

    In the first quarter, the SuperSonics used Brent Barry, Cassell, Ginobili, and even Parker to defend Hamilton, but they couldn't keep up the whole time!

    Hamilton played particularly actively in the first quarter, making 3 of 5 field goals, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 8 points.

    Hamilton shot away, and Larry Hughes adjusted his style of play, using Christian Laettner to break through the pick-and-roll, and cooperated with Hamilton's running position to contain Artest or Ben Wallace's defense.

    Coupled with Yao Ming's receiving shots and transition balls, Tyronn Lue's wing three-pointers, and Christian Laettner's comprehensive skills The young team is always good at fighting, and the starting lineup is in good shape under the leadership of Hamilton.  Afterwards, Wizards coach Eddie Jordan made no personnel adjustments and allowed the starting lineup to play the entire first quarter, scoring 28 points in a single quarter.

    After the first quarter, the Wizards led the SuperSonics by 4 points, 28-24!

    Hamilton had 8 points, Larry Hughes had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Yao Ming had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Christian Laettner had 2 points and 3 rebounds, and Tyronn Lue had 6 points, amazing performance!

    In addition to these visible things, there are also some invisible things.

    For example, Yao Ming's height and the deterrence brought by his footwork when protecting the frame, and grabbing defensive rebounds for teammates Even if Yao Ming was at the free throw line, he would subconsciously block nearby players to avoid being surpassed to the greatest extent.  Team Sonic rushes.

    After three years of polishing the basic skills in the NCAA, Yao Ming still needs time to grow, but in these extremely detailed aspects, coach John Thompson has thoroughly honed Yao Ming!

    The Wizards bench is very excited. On the SuperSonics side, everyone is staring at Zhang Hao. Tonight, the opponent is as irritable as the enemy who has cut off their financial resources. Who is to blame?

    Zhang Hao turned his head

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 541 541. I regard him as my biological brother!  (8500 words please vote monthly)

    The Wizards¡¯ performance on both offense and defense today was a bit explosive!

    As usual, Zhang Hao spent regular time on the offensive end, with Cassel, Artest, and Parker coming off the bench responsible for the main attack.

    When he first came back in 1999, Zhang Hao would definitely not play like this, but now he has reached his peak period. During his peak period, he can lead new players and exert his strength at critical moments.

    But I really underestimated the outside defensive capabilities of Tyronn Lue, Hamilton, and Larry Hughes, and underestimated the Wizards' trust in Yao Ming's rim protection, and Yao Ming really did a good job!

    Artest cut to catch the ball from close range and was about to dunk it when he bumped into Yao Ming and stopped. Yao Ming stood and slapped down the ball that Artest had raised

    Yao Ming doesn¡¯t look strong, but that¡¯s mainly due to his height of 226 centimeters, and Yao Ming¡¯s lower limbs are exceptionally strong, while his upper limbs look slender.

    After all, he is a 132 kg center.

    With 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Yao Ming scored 5 points in the first quarter.

    The task is to end Yao Ming's 7 consecutive games scoring in double figures.

    'It won't be difficult to limit Xiao Ming's scoring. A center like him is more of a containment But I can't just watch Hughes break in through the pick-and-roll and score directly. I have to make up for it. Hamilton's side is really  trouble¡­¡­'

    Zhang Hao remembered that a week ago, Hamilton ran to catch and shoot. He made 17 of 25 shots. He only made 7 free throws and no three-pointers. 14 of the 17 goals were mid-range shots. He scored 41 points. Originally, the Wizards had three goals.  The core scores were almost the same, and Hamilton relied on that one game to widen the gap between him and his two teammates.

    For a team without a clear core and tactical system, a player like Hamilton will most likely have no effect on improving the record.

    But if a team with a clear core and clear tactical strategy has such a player, the improvement will be huge.

    It is because of Hamilton that the triangle offense of Larry Hughes, Yao Ming, and Hamilton can be played.

    Zhang Hao has a headache about Hamilton, and the coaching staff also has a headache.

    In terms of speed, Parker is the fastest on the Sonics, but his continuity is not as good as Hamilton's. Artest, who can keep up with the continuity, is a little behind in speed. It is a good idea to let Ben Wallace help limit Hamilton.  It can give Hamilton great restrictions, but I tried it in the first quarter. That way, Christian Laettner could easily shoot from the mid-range on the wing.

    All five of the Wizards¡¯ starting five can pass the ball

    Doug Collins was talking to the players about what the opponent did well in the first quarter which should be restricted, and what it did poorly should be exploited The timeout was almost over, and both Paul Westphal and Silver Fox were still there.  I haven't figured out how to rotate it.

    In this case, generally speaking, they will continue to play with the lineup at the end of the first quarter. This is not an uncommon thing, it is a normal situation.

    Seeing that the timeout was about to end, the Sonics originally planned to just keep playing like this, playing first, since the game was still long anyway, so they would slowly find a way.

    ???????????????????????? Maybe, as time goes by, Hamilton on the opposite side may not be as accurate in shooting, or the shooters on the wing rotation may not be as accurate, and the opportunity will come.

    But suddenly, Silver Fox¡¯s eyes lit up!

    Zhang Hao did not expect a solution. When a team's tactics are fully implemented, it is actually difficult to solve the problem from a tactical level.

    When designing a set of tactics, the goal must be "perfection". If the tactics are well executed, it means that the suitability, execution ability, status and other aspects are very good.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s idea is to wait and see and seize the opportunity. In addition to being prepared, he also has to wait patiently for the opportunity to appear.

    Suddenly, Zhang Hao felt a chill in his vest. When he turned around, Silver Fox stared at him with gleaming eyes.

    ¡®The way of heaven brings about reincarnationeh?  Why did I suddenly think of this sentence?  ¡¯

    I saw the silver fox patting Doug Collins on the back, and Doug Collins thought to himself that it¡¯s finally here!  Said: "Del, you make the final adjustments."

    Seamless switching with tacit understanding.

    The core reason why the SuperSonics coaching staff works so happily together is not that they give more money, but that there is always a way.

    Regardless of whether the method works well or not, there is always someone who will come forward and put forward their own ideas.

    In fact, many times, the coaching staff of a team does not have a good solution. What the basketball head coach does the most is to rotate the players according to their physical strength.

    This is the basic skill for a coach to judge the status of his players.

    But with more coaches at the head coach level, there are naturally more ways to do it.

    There are rumors that the Sonics coaching staff will be disbanded, that¡¯s for sure, althoughTo complete a block, you must complete at least one dunk on Yao Ming's head.  (completed)

    Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to lead the team to interrupt Yao Ming's personal achievement of scoring in double figures in 7 consecutive games at the beginning of his rookie season.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Defense Medal Giant Killer Fragment*1.  "

    ¡°Giant Killer (Bronze): When the wearing player attempts to block a shot and the height of the wearing player reaches 15 cm below the blocking target, the bullet speed +3 and the bounce +3.

    Note: The way to upgrade is through tasks.

    New effects for Silver level: increased trigger distance and movement speed bonus.  "

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao got the first fragment of the ¡®Giant Killer¡¯ and saw the effect of this medal again.

    It¡¯s really tasteless!

    Over at the imperial court, Zhang Weiping held it in for a long time and finally came up with a reason for his distant nephew: "Haozi really values ??Dayao! Dayao's treatment is at the level of Duncan and Kobe!"

    There have been few updates recently. It¡¯s been cold and my physical condition is not very good. After having a fever at the beginning of the month, I have been having colds and fevers recently. When the boss of the team found out, he took Xiaofeng to do a nucleic acid test and it was still negative. The management also took Xiaofeng to do a nucleic acid test.  , I did it three times in more than 20 days, and there was no problem.

    It¡¯s purely a cold and fever caused by the climate, physical reasons.

    Another top pick was bullied by the team led by Zhang Hao

    Zhang Hao once again made people feel that he attaches great importance to talented high-ranking rookies.

    From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as Yao Ming¡¯s talent and strength being ¡®professionally recognized¡¯.

    Many former high-ranking rookies are very concerned about the first regular season match between Zhang Hao and Yao Ming.

    Seeing what happened to Yao Ming, they all nodded with satisfaction.

    Gentlemen are indeed fair!

    The Sonics limited their opponents to around 95 points. Although this time they did not rely entirely on Ben Wallace, it proved the stability of the Sonics in this aspect.

    The problem that has been affecting the Washington Wizards this season has been exposed again - there is no stable second offensive starting point.

    The biggest difference between Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, who are both China's top insiders, is that Wang Zhizhi can serve as the starting point for offense, but Yao Ming cannot.

    Hamilton has no ability to initiate offense, and Tyronn Lue and Chris Whitney are just ordinary high-quality substitutes

    Fox Sports commentator Dominic Wilkins pointed out two paths for the Wizards -

    ¡°The Wizards can introduce a second perimeter ball-handling offensive starting point, but this choice is not good and will affect Hughes¡¯ growth, and the Wizards have no space.

    The second method is to keep playing like this. When Hughes, Yao, and Hamilton advance to the All-Star level, the problem will be solved by itself.  "

    The Wizards are still favored. The three core players are 22, 23, and 24 years old. Youth is their greatest asset.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡®I got the 9-day lifespan, I got the fragments of the giant killer, and after beating the Clippers tomorrow, it should be 20 days, right?  The starting point for a 10-game winning streak is 2 times the winning streak lifespan.  ¡¯

    The morning after the game against the Wizards, the SuperSonics came to Los Angeles.

    Zhang Hao looked at the Clippers¡¯ scouting report ¡®Is Baylor so unlucky?  Also, this operation is so charming!  ¡¯

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t notice the Clippers before, but now that he¡¯s looking at the Clippers¡¯ operations during the offseason, and looking at the Clippers¡¯ situation in the new season, he wants to applaud the Clippers¡¯ wonderful drama.

    During the offseason, the Clippers mysteriously let go of Jeff McGinnis, the perimeter teammate who helped Francis the most last season.

    Jeff McGinnis¡¯ salary last season was $530,000. After the free market opened, the Trail Blazers offered him a three-year contract worth $9.9 million. The Clippers were unwilling to give him the same salary.

    The reason is that in order to save money, Francis reached an early contract extension of 6 years and US$88 million with the Clippers in the summer. If the money given to role players is not properly controlled, taxes may be paid in the 2003-04 season.

    If the tax is paid, Baylor will probably be fired.

    There is nothing wrong with making saving money your first goal.

    But after refusing to match Jeff McGinnis¡¯s contract with a starting salary of $3 million, the Clippers renewed Olowokandi¡¯s one-year, $6.99 million contract.

    But Olowokandi only received a three-year offer of $10.5 million after the free market opened.

    The picture is very beautiful. The Clippers could use the renewal terms of the parent team to match the offers given by other teams, but they chose to renew the contract first, but they did not estimate the correct value of Olowokandi, and Olowokandi  The agent made a good judgment on the correct value.

    The whole operation was smooth and smooth, as if it was to not renew the contract with Jeff McGinnis and save money for the No. 1 pick.

    Darius Myers, a high-ranked athletic power forward in the 2000 class, finally showed some improvement in his second year, but was sent away because Boozer, who was selected in the second round, played well in the summer league.  Even before entering the NBA, he looks better than Darius Myers, who averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds per game last season.

    Then, Alvin Gentry looked at Francis, who needed athletic teammates, surrounded by a group of positional and offensive teammates, and his mentality collapsed.

    Forget it, Francis can play positional battles, but Olowokandi, who renewed his contract with a large sum of money, was seriously injured in the preseason and needs to be sidelined for 12 to 16 weeks.

    Last season, the Clippers made the playoffs. This season, they started with 1 win and 8 losses, side by side with the Grizzlies, who had just ended their 8-game losing streak.

    Francis has had 3 triple-doubles in the first 9 games of this season, taking great strides towards the road of "mini daily". He averaged 42 minutes per game and scored 19.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.1 assists. But apart from the statistics, there is really nothing.  That¡¯s easy to say.

    Zhang Hao read the Clippers' scouting report and found that there was nothing worth studying. He could just go on the field and play the game.

    When fighting against such an opponent, it is better to use your own advantages than against the other party.I know what you said is disgusting"

    Rahim shook his head helplessly. The two of them could argue over the phone signal.

    Although Rahim couldn't hear what Kobe said, it was obvious that Kobe was the one being bullied again.

    Kobe Bryant on the other end of the phone gasped for a while, took a deep breath, changed the subject, and said, "I have something serious to do."

    "speak."

    "Sharif was traded to the 76ers."

    "Huh? Watt? Damnwhich Sharif are you talking about? Is it the Sharif in front of me? He was traded to the 76ers?"

    "Which Sharifis there in front of you? Yes, you will play the Eagles tomorrow, so you will know about it right away. Why am I calling you beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep"

    "This little blacksmith hooked me with arc again, forget it, oh! By the way Hey, Sharif, you"

    Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, he turned around and saw Rahim¡¯s extremely wonderful expression.

    In the end, Rahim¡¯s expression was excited and his eyes were shining!

    At this moment, Zhang Hao seemed to see the Rahim who was full of expectations for the future in the summer of 1995!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    At 7 pm on November 29, 2002, the Eagles reached a three-way deal with the 76ers and Rockets.

    The 76ers used Matt Geiger's final year of US$8.77 million contract and Coleman's final year of US$9.38 million contract to acquire Shareef Raheem and Chris Crawford from the Hawks.  Kenny Thomas of the Rockets.

    The Hawks sent Sharif Raheem, who has three years left on his max-salary contract, Chris Crawford, who has three years and $9 million left on his contract, and the 2000 high draft pick Eddie Griffin.  Received two one-year contracts from the 76ers and one from the Rockets.

    The Rockets sent out Kenny Thomas and Jason Kohler with one-year expiring contracts, and acquired Eddie Griffin from the Hawks.

    The Eagles, like the past few years, treat players like philanthropists, not based on strength, and all have expired contracts.

    As long as there is a contract that expires at the end of the season, and the Eagles have long-term high-quality players, it is possible to take advantage of the Eagles.

    Now, the Eagles already have four high-paying expiring contracts in Glenn Robinson, Matt Geiger, Derrick Coleman, and Campbell.

    No matter what, the Eagles have achieved their goal. Their salary this season is more than 58 million US dollars. Jason Terry's new contract will take effect next season, and the salary can still be reduced to 40 million US dollars.

    But no one cares about the Hawks now. The 76ers' operation from the end of last season to now is amazing!

    ? To a large extent, it was good luck. I happened to meet the Nets who wanted Mutombo and the Hawks who wanted an expiring contract.

    ¡°But the courage to dare to stud, the courage to eat Coleman, and the impulse to take action decisively when he heard that the Eagles wanted to send Raheem away are not something ordinary teams can have.

    Although the 76ers still have two or three bad long-term contracts, compared with the bleak future when last season was going on, the current 76ers are much better!

    Iverson, Raheem, Van Horn, Duncan, coupled with Snow, this starting lineup is going to explode!

    ¡­¡­

    The 76ers continued to work hard and kept the two No. 1 picks untradeable. Whenever there was an opportunity to trade up the others, the 76ers took action decisively. Their crazy rebuilding strategy seemed to be successful, attracting everyone's attention and becoming  It's rare for a team to steal the spotlight from Zhang Hao in November.

    On the other side, the SuperSonics will challenge the Eagles in their last five-game away game on November 30.

    Zhang Hao looked at the talented high school student Eddie Curry opposite him, how miserable

    ¡®It¡¯s really unexpected that one of the top three high school students in the 2001 class was delayed in the end, but I didn¡¯t expect that he was the little shark who seemed to be the most talented in the early days of entering the NBA.

    ¡° Playing basketball with Terry, Coleman, and Big Dog, this is a lifetime of blessings!  In my previous life, I was not so unlucky to destroy the Milky Way!  Eh?  So, Kwame Brown was supposed to be the one who destroyed the galaxy?  ¡¯

    The game was about to start. Zhang Hao cursed and prepared to go on the field The system prompt came.

    ¡°Avengers series mission: given to you, I will take it back with my own hands to trigger

    Goal: Defeat the Eagles to tie the opening 17-game winning streak"

    Goal: Zhang Hao leads the SuperSonics to create a new winning streak in NBA history.

    Reward: Depends on the completion of the task.  "

    'Sure enough, there is this mission, and it was triggered just before the start of the 17th game after a 16-game winning streak against a team like the Eagles, even Raheem was traded away, so we must win, and it takes 34 days to win.  What about lifespan'

    Zhang Hao turned off the system screen and moved his body.

    Just like the name of the mission, if the record that has been set can be refreshed, of course he wants to refresh it

    Atlanta is a great place, except for the high crime rate but the crime rate is not much lower than in any major American city.

    Jordan happened to come to Atlanta today. He was originally sitting on the sidelines watching the game, but was called to the commentary box by Barkley, who was commentating on the game tonight.

    "Charles, such an unsuspicious game is actually broadcast live?"

    "Originally there was no such thing, but you have won 16 consecutive games and will soon tie the Lakers' historical record of 17 consecutive victories."

    When it comes to this, both Jordan and Barkley suddenly felt that some mmps were not worth talking about.

    Kenny Smith unceremoniously expressed what the two of them were thinking: "Are you wondering - why just after you retired, Akers led the team to start a crazy record-breaking mode?"

    Jordan felt his balls hurt.

    Everyone is saying that after he retires, the Sonics' record may decline and it will become more difficult to defend their title.

    As a minor owner, Jordan wants to see the Sonics complete their dynasty.

    And if he wins the dynasty, two championships and one FMVP will belong to his boss Joe.

    So he was very worried before the start of the season, worked hard to think of ways, and even recommended his college alumnus Jerry Stackhouse to the team

    Although he was rejected, he was really trying hard to think of something.

    As a result, there was obviously no substantial reinforcement during the offseason. The strongest signing was Brent Barry, who was barely at the mid-level level He won 16 consecutive games after the start of the new season!

    Looking at the brutal performances of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace this season, Jordan felt like these two were playing him

    As soon as he retires, these two people will enter their peak period. What does that mean?

    Barkley feels the same way!

    After the 1996-97 season, he retired.

    Then, in the new season, Zhang Hao and O'Neal led the team to start with 17 consecutive victories, then 73 wins and 9 losses, winning the playoffs and winning the championship.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????But after another season there is always a feeling that last season was held back

    ¡­¡­

    The game started when Jordan and Barkley fell into egg-ache mode.

    Since the SuperSonics won eight games in a row, they have been targeted by their opponents.

    However, no matter how the opponent targets, no matter how well the opponent plays, no matter how close the opponent is to victory, the Sonics win in the end.

    Facing the Hawks' starting combination of Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Glenn Robinson, Coleman, and Eddie Curry, the SuperSonics defeated the game 35-16  ¡­

    Tying the opening winning streak is right in front of them, and the Sonics cannot relax and be careless.

    A team composed of young players has this advantage. When an achievement is imminent, the first reaction of young players is not to be proud of "I am so awesome, I have to be proud", but to seize it first!

    In the first quarter, the Sonics started directly and played the entire first quarter. When the lineup was rotated in the second quarter, the Sonics did not relax.

    The Eagles were really unlucky. Although Jason Terry scored 20 points on 7 of 15 shots in the first half, they were unable to prevent the Eagles from falling behind 38 to 61 at halftime.

    The SuperSonics just want to win. If an opponent like the Eagles loses to such a bad team and fails to tie the historical opening winning streak There is no need for any pre-game plan. Zhang Hao will start the offensive attack tonight.  , Ben Wallace¡¯s defensive end went all out to drive the team.

    In the end, relying on Zhang Hao¡¯s season-high 46 points in a single game, which was also the fourth time he scored 40 points or more in a single game, the Sonics defeated the Hawks 126-89 and won their 17th consecutive victory!

    After the final whistle sounded, the Sonics players celebrated excitedly.

    This is incredible, 17 consecutive wins!  The Lakers' 17-game winning streak at the start of the 1997-1998 season was tied!

    After five consecutive away games, the Sonics have finished their first game month.

    &nbsWith 8 points, Kenyon Martin scored 7 points, Vin Baker scored 4 points, and the Nets scored 22 points in a single quarter.

    For the SuperSonics, Cassell had 6 points, Artest had 4 points, Ben Wallace had 2 points, Zhang Hao had 5 points, Chandler had 1 point, and Parker had 3 points, scoring 21 points in a single quarter.

    The Nets ended the first quarter with a 1-point lead over the Sonics 22-21.

    In the second quarter, for the Nets, Rodney Rogers, who played in rotation, scored 9 points in 7 minutes, plus Gugliotta's 4 points, Vin Baker, Kidd and Anthony Johnson all scored 3  points, once again scoring 22 points in a single quarter.

    It's just that the Sonics scored more points this time. Zhang Hao, Artest, and Ginobili all scored 6 points, plus Ben Wallace's 2 points and Cassell's 3 points.  Five players from the Sonics scored in a single quarter, with a score of 23-22.

    After halftime, the SuperSonics and Nets were tied at 44!

    The score is tied This is a very easy situation for the Sonics. They are not afraid of key goals!

    ¡°Perhaps because of this idea, in the third quarter, the Sonics played quite loosely

    Kidd had 5 assists in a single quarter in the third quarter, helping Kenyon Martin to score 6 points, Corey Kittles to score 9 points, Gugliotta to score 8 points The Nets scored in a single quarter  To 29 minutes!

    ?The Sonics only scored 20 points in the third quarter.

    After three quarters, the Nets led the SuperSonics by 9 points, 73-64!

    The fans at the scene were really panicked now!

    A new historical record is just around the corner, will it be destroyed by the Nets?

    But most people still maintained their expectations. When the fourth quarter started, everyone on the scene was shouting Zhang Hao's English name and various nicknames.

    The attention of Nets players is also focused on Zhang Hao.

    The Nets are the king of the final quarter averaging 13 points per game so far this season, and they want to contain it!

    However, when the final quarter of the game started, Zhang Hao was not the one who was the main attacker, but was the starting point of the attack.

    Ginobili stood up!

    Zhang Hao originally wanted to give it a try, but Ginobili's performance tonight was quite unstable. He played 3 minutes in the first quarter and made 2 shots. One of the layups was a miss.

    Then in the second quarter, he made 2 of 2 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points. But in the third quarter, he made 1 of 4 shots and was replaced after playing 3 minutes

    At the end of the season, Zhang Hao was ready to try again It's done!

    Ginobili first hit a long two-pointer from Zhang Hao, then stole Kidd's long pass to Lucios Harris, counterattacked and entered the basket, and then passed the ball through Kenyon Martin after a European step.  Smashed into the basket.

    European step + dunk, the Nets players were stunned by Ginobili's dunk!

    In the next round of offense, this time it was Ben Wallace's turn to work hard and block the shot. Zhang Hao grabbed the ball and once again passed it to Ginobili, who had a good grasp of the timing. Ginobili received the ball three times.  Hit

    Ginobili scored 15 points tonight, setting a new scoring high in his rookie season. He scored 7 points at the beginning of the final quarter and beat the Nets 7-0!

    Originally, the Sonics were 9 points behind, but suddenly the difference was reduced to 2 points, 71 to 73!

    Soon, the Nets stabilized their position and played back and forth with the SuperSonics.

    Zhang Hao made 4 of 6 shots in the next 10 minutes, including a three-pointer and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points in a single quarter. Cassell scored 6 points in the final quarter and Ben Wallace scored 2 points.  3 rebounds, Brent Barry scored 5 points, Artest scored 2 points

    After Ginobili scored those 7 points, he started playing again and was replaced.

    At 11 minutes and 41 seconds into the final quarter, after Cassell made a mid-range shot from Zhang Hao, the Sonics' score in the final quarter increased to 32 points!

    At the same time, the SuperSonics limited the Nets to 22 points in the final quarter.

    Cassell made a mid-range shot, helping the Sonics lead by 1 point at 96-95!

    The Nets made their last attack. After calling a timeout to make arrangements for the final attack, the Nets made a timeout violation

    In the past 19 seconds of the Nets, no one took a shot. The ball was passed back and forth. I don¡¯t know whether it was because they were afraid of missing the shot or because they were afraid that Zhang Hao would make a counterattack after the buzzer beater. Anyway, they didn¡¯t make a shot during the game time.  The ball is thrown out after the whistle blows.

    The Sonics were dumbfounded.

    But no matter what, with Zhang Hao's 28 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, Ginobili's 15 points, Cassel's 13 points and 4 assists, Artest's 12 points, and Ben Wallace's 7 points and 14  1 steal, 2 blocks

    The SuperSonics made a late comeback!  Overwhelming Kidd who scored 8 points and 8 rebounds, Lucios Harris who scored 27 points, and Kenyon Martin who scored 23 points narrowly defeated the Nets 96-95!

    When the final whistle sounded, the fans at the scene felt inexplicably regretful for some reason.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s two buzzer-beaters this season were both completed on the road.

    But the idea of ??randomness was abandoned.

    Won!  18 consecutive wins!

    The SuperSonics team worked together to defeat the Nets and win 18 consecutive games, breaking the Lakers' historical record of 18 consecutive wins in the beginning!

    ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you, and I¡¯ll take it back with my own hands: Avengers mission series.

    Goal: Zhang Hao leads the SuperSonics to create a new winning streak in NBA history.

    Zhang Hao has led the SuperSonics to an 18-game winning streak, breaking the NBA's historical record.

    ??Task completion evaluation: Take your time and wait for the train.

    This task has been linked to the series of tasks: Legend Creator.

    The final reward will be determined based on the final winning streak.

    After completing this mission, the linkage mission: The Legend Still Lives will be launched.  "

    ¡®The winning streak at the beginning has already given me 261 destiny!  Damn itbut it's true that we started with 18 consecutive wins. Who would have thought that without our boss Joe and without recruiting a veteran in the offseason, we could actually start with 18 consecutive wins'

    The beginning was very dreamy, and the more so, the more Zhang Hao knew not to drift!

    'Compared with the 1997-98 season, the gap in strength is actually not small. There are too many coincidence factors. In these 18 games, whenever I encounter trouble, there are always teammates who will stand up and help. Even if I do it by myself, I still feel overwhelmed.  The situation is not just once or twice'

    ¡®I scored another 10 points in the last quarter tonight. Martin and Baker did a good job of cooperating on defense. This time, it was inseparable from Bald¡¯s another rampage in a short period of time. Without Bald¡¯s explosion, it would have been difficult for me to score¡¯

    After the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received the task prompt.

    After a brief analysis, Zhang Hao turned off the system screen and enjoyed the cheers of the fans at the scene

    ¡­¡­

    The SuperSonics have won 18 consecutive games!

    Countless media outlets are analyzing the Sonics' winning streak.

    The conclusion is still the same - it is simply unscientific for this team to win 18 consecutive games.

    There have been 5 comebacks like this in 18 games, which is close to one-third.

    But once you win it, you win it.

    The endless "luck theory" that is currently emerging cannot suppress the sensation caused by this 18-game winning streak. Many media are saying that the Sonics "should not have won 18 games in a row", which instead made this record-breaking 18-game winning streak possible.  More legendary.

    When the SuperSonics won their 18th consecutive victory, Lakers Vice President of Business Operations Jenny Buss posted a congratulations on her blog.

    When O'Neal heard Zhang Hao's name during the interview, he turned around and left.

    Kidd said in an interview the next morning - "Some things can't be helped, but when I came here, he had left this team for many years."

    The media and fans have been paying attention to the Sonics, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace in recent times.

    But in fact, there are a lot of things happening in the NBA recently. The 76ers have defeated the Big Three, the Bulls have escalated internal strife, and even Larry Brown is likely to be fired. The Big Three of the Lakers have led the team to 10 consecutive victories.  Second in the West

    On December 3, the league announced the Player of the Week awards for the fifth week of the new season.

    In the Eastern Conference, Knicks star Stephon Marbury won the Player of the Week award by averaging 25.5 points and 8 assists per game, leading the team to 3 wins and 1 loss.

    In the West, Pierce, the Lakers' scoring leader, won the Player of the Week award with averages of 23 points, 7.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game with 4 wins and 0 losses.

    However, although there are other stars from other teams who performed well, to the fans, those don't matter.

    People are just willing to pour all their attention and all their enthusiasm into the Sonics.

    On November 4th, the SuperSonics faced the challenge of the Pacers at home.

    This season, the Pacers are gradually showing signs of rising again.

    Jermaine O¡¯Neal, who averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, and Ratliff, who averaged 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, formed a top-notch inside line.

    The outside combination of Jamal Tinsley, Reggie Miller, and Stephen Jackson has a sharp offense.

    The bench also includes Al Harrington, Ron Mercer, Jonathan Bender, Eric Strickland, Jeff Foster and other players.

    These players are willing to cooperate, willing to achieve each other, and willing to sacrifice for each other

    There is only one person preventing this team from continuing to grow into a top team - their head coach Isaiah Thomas.

    When Zhang Hao saw the Pacers lineup, he felt that Larry Bird had given all his life!

    The 76ers are a team with incredible luck.?Top talentsbut with Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, there are endless possibilities!

    Just like the 23-game winning streak at the beginning, there were 9 games in which the Sonics might have lost. If it were any other team, in that case, losing half of them would be normal.

    But the Sonics won them all, either relying on the defense led by Ben Wallace, relying on the offense led by Zhang Hao, or the two of them together

    There is a topic that has become popular again - the new Invincible Twin Towers, which are comparable to the Remy Martin Twin Towers, have a combined total salary of less than 16 million US dollars.

    ¡­¡­

    After the start of the 2002-2003 season, the SuperSonics continued to dominate the headlines, hot news, and hot topics until they defeated the 76ers in an away game on December 15.

    ¡°For more than a month and a half, when I think of the NBA, what comes to mind is the Sonics, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace.

    Even if the 76ers traded for Raheem, it became a hot topic in less than 24 hours.

    Everything seems not so important.

    Finally, someone stepped forward to break this situation.

    On December 16, 2002, the Chicago Bulls faced the Raptors at home.

    In the first half, the Raptors led the Bulls by 14 points, 63-49.

    In the second half, the Bulls defeated the Raptors 73-41 in one half. In the second half, the Bulls defeated the Raptors by 32 points.

    But the matter of turning the tables is no longer important.

    Kobe Bryant made 26 of 50 shots, including 10 of 18 three-pointers, plus 18 of 20 free throws, soaring 80 points!

    After the game, Kobe Bryant said in an interview: "Tell Vince, not only Zhang can perform like this, but others can too Oh, he was the opponent, I didn't notice."

 Chapter 545 545. Bowen was beaten (14,000 words, please vote)

    "There is someone besides you who can score 80 points!"

    ""

    "Yesterday I saw the news that someone wearing No. 24 got 70 points. I turned on the TV and thought you had a tan or had your leg cut off"

    ""

    Hearing Jason Williams¡¯ shocked words, Zhang Hao no longer wanted to react.

    Family members, teammates, media, and even passers-by on the road have all given him "shock" so many times that he is now numb.

    The saying "cut off a leg" comes from Josh Howard, a talented swingman who has risen strongly in the NCAA this year.

    The 22-year-old Josh Howard is Duncan's junior and the star of the Wake Forest University Devil Deacons. He finally made a name for himself in his senior season. This season, Josh Howard led the Devil Deacons to start the 7th consecutive season.  The victory set the Demon Deacons' longest winning streak in more than 40 years.

    According to the latest draft predictions, it is possible to be selected at the end of the first round or the beginning of the second round of next year's draft.

    Being selected by the NBA and possibly entering the first round is actually very eye-catching.

    Entering the first round means becoming a millionaire, and you will earn at least one million US dollars in four years.

    No matter which school a player is from, as long as he can be selected by the NBA, he may be the strongest college basketball player in a school, a city or even a state.

    Josh Howard¡¯s inspirational experience has made him popular, but it has also become an obstacle that limits his higher draft expectations.

    He has had leg defects since he was a child, and has undergone a total of three leg sawing surgeries. From childhood to adulthood, a total of nearly 17 centimeters of leg defects have been removed.

    Now, Josh Howard is 200 centimeters tall, which means he was originally playing center.

    Hidden risks of injuries and congenital defects are the most taboo for a professional athlete and the biggest concern for every team.

    In addition, Josh Howard is also popular because of one thing - his appearance.

    Before entering the NBA, Josh Howard was as famous as Marion and Cassell.

    Zhang Hao listened to Jason Williams talking about the various reactions after Kobe Bryant scored 80 points. It was quite interesting - as long as he, Zhang, was not mentioned.

    I¡¯m really tired of listening to it. From last night until I came to the arena this afternoon, I kept listening to it.

    After playing the game against the 76ers on the 15th, I returned to Seattle to rest yesterday. I rested this morning. There are two training sessions this afternoon. Starting tomorrow, there will be two home games and two away games, and then there will be the Christmas game.

    When Kobe scored 80 points, Zhang Hao couldn't say he was surprised. It was impossible, no matter how surprised he wasit wouldn't be that much. This was something Kobe could do.

    ¡®It¡¯s just that Carter is a bit too pitiful¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    After the afternoon training, Zhang Hao couldn't help but pay attention to Kobe Bryant's 80 points.

    He finally understood what it felt like for others to have to accept all kinds of information about him.

    Not to mention whether there is any external influence, just thinking that someone just scored 80 points, I can't help but want to know the reaction of the media, experts, and other stars!

    He has not officially made a public statement on Kobe's performancehe is too lazy to use his brain.

    Praise it, I don¡¯t really think about it, I¡¯d better wait until Kobe doesn¡¯t play well before praising him.

    "Say something else, and you'll be criticized again."

    Then just don¡¯t say it.

    But looking at the comments of other stars, Zhang Hao is still very happy.

    Most stars don¡¯t want to comment, but they can¡¯t comment like Zhang Hao, so they are forced to do business.

    There is a person who is in the hardest hit area, and he is the one who has been unlucky twice

    In the evening, Zhang Hao saw the video of Carter being interviewed.

    "Yes, Kobe did it too, but what does that mean? In NBA history, only Chamberlain, Zhang and Bryant can score 80 points.

    Yes, Kobe¡¯s performance is very good. I personally feel that he has reached another level when it comes to scoring.

    ¡°But I just feel that histheir style of play is wrong.

    Others can't do it Yes, I said before that only Akers can do it. I was wrong, but there are so many kids playing basketball in the world. There are many basketball players who can eventually become Akers and Kobe.  How many?  How many people can play in the NBA?

    For most children, playing basketball is a hobby, just like playing baseball for me. The happiness of basketball is the overall happiness, not that I have to score more than 80 points to be happy"

    Looking at the TV screenHe responded: "I will discuss this matter with Mr. Schultz and Mr. Harris. Don't worry now and play the game well"

    After stabilizing Kirilenko first, Zhang Hao returned home and called Howard Schultz.

    After explaining the situation, Zhang Hao said: "As far as I know, I don't think Andre is the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice so much for the sake of the championship and the team. He must also love money and want to be in the team.  He got a big contract after his rookie contract ended. His current situation obviously does not meet his needs. His functions are too similar to Ben's, but Ben is so much better than him. He will not be better than Ben in at least 3-4 years. This  He has been playing as a substitute at that time, which is obviously not good for the Canadian contract."

    Howard Schultz on the other end of the phone thought for a while and said: "Actually, if we don't consider sending Andre away this year, it will be a good thing for our title defense. He can ensure the defense of the rotation during the break.  Continuity, as you said, he is a weakened version of Ben on the defensive end, a genius in tandem defense. We have been trying to trade him. What we are worried about is that he does not meet the current team status. If he can, then we will  It was a good choice to leave it until the end.¡±

    "Indeed it is¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao responded. He also felt that if Kirilenko honestly served as Ben Wallace's backup role and stepped in whenever needed, it would be very good for the Sonics.

    It¡¯s just that he can¡¯t figure out why Kirilenko wants to stay even though he claims to be willing to play more than ten minutes in each game.

    There must be a purpose!

    Kirilenko is really not the kind of person who affects his money career for such illusory things as his 'dream' and 'home team'.

    ¡®Whatever, if you can¡¯t figure it out, you can¡¯t figure it out. It¡¯s really a good thing for him to stay and play as a substitute¡¯

 Chapter 546 546. The worst thing is Little Flying Squirrel (6000 words please vote)

    "Odom is put on the shelf?"

    "Yes, this is unbelievable. I didn't expect the Raptors to handle the fight among the players in this way. They publicly accused Odom of violence on the court in Toronto."

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.

    Suddenly thinking of what happened two years ago, Zhang Hao complained: "In 2001, right? After the Raptors lost to the 76ers in the second round, the Raptors owner also publicly criticized Carter."

    Speaking of this, Zhang Hao thought of something again. It seemed that in the original time and space, when Carter was fouled by Bowen twice in a row, he was reimbursed at the end of the 01-02 season, and was injured by the foul for several months in January of the 02-03 season.  After failing to make the playoffs for two consecutive years, in the 2003-04 season, the Raptors asked Carter to assist rookie Bosh. The Raptors owner also publicly stated that Carter would never be able to return to his previous state due to injuries.

    Although what the Raptors owner said is true, Carter's injury in January 2003 was a turning point in Carter's career when he was only 26 years old at the time.

    That time he was stepped down, which almost directly killed Carter's path to super strength.

    As the owner of the Raptors said, Carter has never returned to the state before he was kicked off for the second time. Even if there is Jason Kidd behind him, he has not performed as well as he did when he was 22 or 3 years old.

    But the Raptors owner¡¯s remarks seemed to be talking about players from other teams

    On January 17, the day after the Sonics narrowly defeated the Jazz, the day after Carter was kicked off and Odom beat Bowen, Zhang Hao heard from Jason Williams that the Raptors  The team may want to seek to trade Odom.

    This news was learned by Jason Williams from Antonio Davis.

    The credibility is quite high. There have been rumors for a long time that the Raptors are very dissatisfied with Carter and Odom, a duo whose performance in leading the team over the past few years has not improved but has continued to decline.

    ¡°Trying to break up this pair of geniuses who are quite popular in Canada, and using it as a reason to fight for their teammates Zhang Hao really felt that this was something the Raptors could do.

    After all, he is the future ¡®most failed championship in history¡¯.

    As far as Zhang Hao is concerned, the only team that has such a small positive impact on a team is the Raptors.

    However, Odom, who is in the last year of his rookie contract, may be traded

    Jason Williams was still talking bad things about the Raptors, but Zhang Hao thought of Kirilenko.

    ¡®Originally, ak47 is a very good bargaining chip. Let¡¯s bring back the left-handed magician at this time, but if ak47 is willing to be a substitute, although his strength is not as good as Odom, it will play a big role in ensuring defensive continuity during the rotation phase

    ¡°Forget it, never mind, let the boss, small boss, and general manager decide how to choose in the end.  ¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    The season is still going on. After a day's rest, the SuperSonics left Seattle and started a wave of three consecutive visits.

    On January 19th, the SuperSonics came to the away game to challenge the Timberwolves.

    It¡¯s not that Zhang Hao is restricted by Garnett every time. Garnett¡¯s restriction on Zhang Hao lies in his interference with shooting, interception of cuts, and the restriction of Zhang Hao¡¯s close range and basket by his body shield teammates In fact,  After the confrontation becomes more intense, Garnett's restrictions on Zhang Hao will become smaller. The outcome of the direct confrontation in the playoffs can explain a lot.

    This time, Zhang Hao shot very well. He made 14 of 26 shots, no three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 36 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks in a single game, plus Ben Wallace.  4 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks, Cassel's 16 points and 10 assists, Parker's 18 points, Artest's 16 points, Brent Barry's 11 pointsThe SuperSonics defeated 96-91  The Timberwolves improved their record to 34 wins and 6 losses!

    After 10 games, the Sonics' winning rate dropped from 90% to 85%, and their performance of 7 wins and 3 losses was not bad.

    The most regrettable thing about the Sonics in the past 10 games is that the long-standing record of not losing more than 100 points in a single game was broken during this period.

    After beating the Timberwolves, the SuperSonics had back-to-back away games. On January 21, they first defeated the Grizzlies 101-88.

    This time, Damon Stoudemire finally appeared in the game. Zhang Hao won the duel with the flying squirrel for the 18th time in a row for the 7th consecutive season. The ¡®Rodent Exterminator¡¯ 126-day lifespan reward was obtained!

    After the game, Zhang Hao received a system prompt that his remaining life span was 3106 days, which was the first time his remaining life span exceeded 3000 days!

    Received 1 bronze lottery opportunity and 1 silver lottery opportunity.

    Currently, Zhang Hao has accumulated 2 bronze lottery opportunities, 2 bronze lottery times, 3 silver lottery opportunities, and 2 silver lottery times.

    Looking at his lottery section, Zhang Hao thought to himself:race.

    Looking at Bowen across from him, Zhang Hao felt that this guy was really tenacious.

    We know that this guy is not a good person, but we can only guard against him, there is nothing we can do against him.

    Guys like Zaza Pachulia, Draymond Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo, you know they have a shady history of malicious actions, not just once or twice, but often leading to conflicts  ¡­

    But, it was just a flagrant foul.

    And stepping on someone¡¯s feet and pushing others are, in the final analysis, just first-level flagrant fouls, which usually do not even lead to a suspension.

    ????????? It¡¯s often Bowen who gets beaten, and the person who hits him is suspended.

    Even if the person who was injured by him stepping on his feet or being knocked over by him retaliates and hits him, the person who was wronged by him and hit him will be suspended.

    This is the rule.

    At 7:30 p.m., the SuperSonics¡¯ home game against the Spurs started.

    Bowen has become one of the most feared players in the league in the past two years.

    Facts have proved that the coach of a team has a great influence on a player. In other teams, even when playing under Pat Riley, Bowen did not show so much understanding in this regard.  The malice of geniuses.

    But when he arrived at the Spurs, he became the starter.

    The game was very intense. Arenas played very well tonight. He played 42 minutes, threw 31 times and made 14 of 31 shots. As a point guard, it is not bad. He scored 37 points and 10 assists, but the opponent  Zhang Hao scored 42 points on 16 of 26 shots

    These suddenly became unimportant.

    When the game was about to end with more than 1 minute left, Bowen suddenly went berserk and chased Reggie Evans, who came on as a substitute at the last minute, all over the court. The Sonics players were all confused  Which blackfoot family is so brave?

    On January 26, 2003, the SuperSonics narrowly defeated the Spurs 106-98 at home, winning their 37th victory of the season and improving their record to 37 wins and 7 losses.

    Thanks to a 23-game winning streak at the beginning, they later posted a record of 14 wins and 7 losses. With only a 67% winning rate in 6 weeks, the Sonics still ranked first in the league.

    In this game against the Spurs, Zhang Hao's performance continued to be efficient!

    Arenas scored 37 points and 10 assists tonight. With such an explosive performance, the SuperSonics dominated the Spurs for almost the whole game. Except for Ben Wallace who led the team to hold the lower limit on the defensive end, Jason -  Williams and Lightning Evans took turns to protect the rebounds More importantly, Zhang Hao's brutal performance of 42 points on 16 of 26 shots.

    No matter how well Arenas plays, or how well he leads Richard Jefferson, David Robinson, Steve Smith, Malik Rose, etc., the Sonics will not panic.

    Because Zhang Hao plays better!

    No matter how hard the Spurs rush, the pressure is still on the Spurs.

    In the beginning, the Spurs played well and forced Zhang Hao into his prime.

    When we hit the back end, the Spurs didn¡¯t dare to perform poorly, otherwise they would be left behind by Zhang Hao and the Sonics

    In the end, the SuperSonics seemed to be being closely chased, but in fact, they relied on Zhang Hao to steadily win with 40+ points in a single game for the 10th time this season.

    But not many people cared about these after the game.

    After the game, what people cared about was Bowen chasing Reggie Evans

    Usually, Bowen is chased and beaten by others, but now it is Bowen chasing and beating others. The fans feel that their world view has been refreshed.

    The most incredible thing is that Bowen actually dared to chase a Sonics player!

    And the Sonics players, in the end, just stood in front of Bowen and did not fight back!

    The reason is, it¡¯s not that someone pulled out a gun No, it should be said that someone had a gun drawn.

    According to the video footage at the time, the Sonics players were stunned at first. It might be the first time in so many years that someone was chasing one of their players. Later, when the Sonics players wanted to help, a replay was played on the big screen.  ¡­

    With 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the game, Bowen switched defense to Reggie Evans and pushed with Thunder Evans. During the push, Reggie Evans reached out and pulled.  Bowen's crotch.

    Judging from the replay, Bowen cursed at that time, covered his crotch, took two steps back, and then chased Reggie Evans like crazy.

    Reggie Evans is also interesting. He is actually about the same height as Bowen and weighs a full 20 kilograms, but he has to play tricks. When he was chased, he knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't fight back and received several punches

    That night, the league made a penalty. Reggie Evans was given an additional technical foul. In addition to the regular fine for a technical foul, he was fined an additional $500 for obscene conduct.

    Bowen was charged with a technical foul because he was chasing his opponent. After the game, he was given an additional technical foul and was suspended for 1 game.

    Finally I saw Bowen was suspended!

    Reggie Evans¡¯s operation made him famous in one battle!

    In the previous 40 games, Reggie Evans played 19 times, averaging 12 minutes per game, scoring 2.3 points and 3.9 rebounds. His rebounding efficiency was not bad, more than 10 rebounds every 36 minutes, which is very good, but in  The Sonics are basically the one that gets the least attention and don't play many games.

    In comparison, Chris Anderson, who has an eye-catching appearance, a more violent style of play, and a more outgoing personality, is more popular among fans.

    The first of the new generation of SuperSonics players to have a fan base is not Artest, nor Parker, Kirilenko, or Chandler, but Chris Anderson.

    But this time, Reggie Evans is out of the spotlight.

    In the past, it was Bowen who hurt his opponent and looked innocent when he was beaten It didn't matter whether he was innocent or not. Anyway, he hurt his opponent and caused his opponent to be suspended for beating him.

    "Evil people have their own trials and tribulations. Reggie Evans' extremely harmful and insulting "gun draw" operation made Bowen feel the most extreme danger in the world!

    Before, the fans were thinking about beating Bowen to death, trying to step in the opposite directionwhat the hell.

    But those operations, either being suspended or becoming Bowen's second best, are not good operations.

    But now it¡¯s different. Reggie Evans has provided each team with a brand new way of solving problems!

    Since Bowen is despicable and wretched, wouldn¡¯t it be enough to act even more despicable and wretched than Bowen?

    There is no need to hurt him. Wouldn¡¯t that be putting yourself on the same level as him?

    Just find the best player in the teamBut fortunately, the first goal of "The Legend Is Still Alive" has been secured.

    After Zhang Hao led the team to defeat the Lakers with his fourth triple-double of the season, the SuperSonics record became 38 wins and 8 losses, two games ahead of the 36 wins and 10 losses Lakers, and two games ahead of the Mavericks  ¡­

    There are two games left before the All-Star weekend. If they win one more game, the Sonics will lock in the half-season championship in advance.

    At 8 pm on January 31st, the SuperSonics came to the Staples Center again to challenge the Clippers back-to-back away from home.

    Back-to-back, even if they didn¡¯t change cities, and even if the Sonics had a young lineup, the impact would still be huge.

    Yesterday, the Lakers failed to score 100 points against the Sonics again, but tonight the Clippers did it.

    Relying on Francis¡¯s 12th triple-double of the season with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, Boozer¡¯s 15 points and 7 rebounds, and Maggette¡¯s 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists the Clippers scored 101 points!

    This is definitely a great performance. Not to mention anything else, the Sonics' defense is really strong.

    The Sonics' defensive statistics are not the best in the league, but they have allowed more than 100 points in a single game, which is the lowest in the league!

    The Sonics' defensive end was affected by physical strength, and so was the offensive end. Only three players scored in double figures tonight. Among the main scorers, no one scored in double figures except Zhang Hao. Apart from Zhang Hao, only Ben Wallace scored in the starting lineup.  12 points.

    The highest scorer from the bench was Manu Ginobili, who made 8 of 12 shots tonight and scored 19 points.

    Apart from the two of them, the only Sonics player left with Zhang Hao scored in double figures.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s double figures are a bit much

    Zhang Hao made 16 of 25 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, plus 16 of 18 free throws. He scored 53 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block in a single game, helping the Sonics narrowly beat the Clippers 109-101!

    When the prompt to complete the first goal of the mission "The Legend Still Remains" came, Zhang Hao felt that it was not easy!  Starting with 23 wins and 0 losses, it is so difficult to defend the championship at the halfway stage.

    But we still held on!

    Defeating the Clippers, the SuperSonics won their 39th victory of the season, locking in the half-season championship one game ahead of schedule!

    ¡°The legend remains: the Legend Builder series of missions.

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to lead the team to maintain the league's first position before entering the All-Star Weekend.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 bronze draw.

    The remaining number of draws (opportunities): Gold 0 (0), Silver 2 (3), Bronze 2 (3).

    The current record of Zhang Hao's SuperSonics team is 39 wins and 8 losses, and the record in the past 24 games is 16 wins and 8 losses. The evaluation is - an excellent team.

    Based on the actual situation of Zhang Hao¡¯s team, the next mission goal has been determined.

    Goal 2: At the end of the 2002-2003 regular season, Zhang Hao needs to lead the SuperSonics to a higher ranking than his old team, the Lakers.

    Rewards will be determined based on actual completion status.  "

    'Goal 1 is actually not difficult. A 23-0 start has basically locked up the half-season championship. As long as the rest is not too bad, like our current record of 16 wins and 8 losses, which is a decent record for a strong team, it will be enough.  To be able to hold on to first place in the league when the Lakers and Mavericks performed so brutally

    In fact, during this period, although the Lakers' record is 20 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks are 21 wins and 4 losses, and we are 16 wins and 8 losses, the gap is actually not as big as the record seems.

    Our previous 23 consecutive victories did not rely solely on me and Ben. The whole team was working hard and all members were exhausted. It is normal for our overall performance to be weaker than theirs after the winning streak ended. We have pushed ourselves hard in order to win consecutively.  Too cruel.

    In total, we just used our efforts at different stages, which also has something to do with the different situations our three teams are in

    Goal 2 does not seem to be very demanding, but with the current situation in the Western Conference, if the ranking at the end of the regular season is higher than that of the Lakers, then it must be at least second in the Western Conference or even second in the league. It is also possible to be first in the Western Conference or first in the league.  of¡­¡­'

    ??Personally, after defeating the Clippers, Zhang Hao is analyzing what will happen next this season.

    The whole Sonics team breathed a sigh of relief.

    At least we won the half-distance championship!

    Unlike Zhang Hao, who has always been calm, his teammates are under a lot of pressure in the middle of the season, otherwise they wouldn't be led by Artest to rap all day long, serious people can do that.

    It¡¯s just that, seeing Zhang Hao so calm and Ben Wallace so cold and arrogant, the teammates felt confident.

    The 23-game winning streak at the start of the season has had a lot of impact on the young players of the Sonics.

    The overall impact is positive. It is definitely a very good thing to win 23 consecutive games.

    This is definitely a long winning streak that 99.99% of players can¡¯t even hope for in their careers. It is a good accumulation of confidence for this group of young players.

    They can use various methods to relieve the pressure caused by the decline in record in the middle of the season, which is also related to this.

    But in fact, their SuperSonics team is theoretically a team with a 70% winning rate this season. Relying on Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, they have a minimum strength of 55 wins and a team that has hope of hitting 60 wins.

    The pressure brought by the best start in history is certainly not small.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of Jordan¡¯s retirement, the SuperSonics management and coaching staff decided to sign more young players in order to capitalize on the momentum of these young players.

    This choice naturally faces risks and there are many uncontrollable factors.

    Fortunately, no matter how unexpected the situation was at the beginning of the season, now, they have locked in the half-season championship!

    ¡­¡­

    February 1st, a new month has arrived.

    The league announced the best of the month awards for the third competition month.

    In the Eastern Conference, there were three different players of the month in three months. In January, Jermaine O'Neal averaged 29.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, leading the Pacers to a record of 10 wins and 5 losses.  Player of the Month Award.

    In the West, after Zhang Hao won the Player of the Month award for two consecutive months in November and December, in January, he finally made a substitution.

    Yesterday, Nowitzki led the Mavericks to defeat the Lakers 108-101, handing the Lakers their 11th loss of the season. The Lakers' record became 37 wins and 11 losses. The Mavericks, who also had 37 wins and 11 losses, relied on the Lakers.  With the team's head-to-head advantage, Nowitzki returned to second place in the Western Conference. Nowitzki also relied on his outstanding personal performance in January coupled with the team's record to win the Player of the Month Award for the second month of his career.

    Coach of the Month: In the Eastern Conference, Magic coach Doc Rivers won the Coach of the Month award; in the Western Conference, Lakers coach Rick Carlisle won the Coach of the Month award.

    Rookie of the Month, Eastern Conference, Yao Ming has three consecutive championships, averaging 16+8+1+2 per game. Just like Gasol in the previous session, no one can compare with Yao Ming in the 2002 session.

    The West is lively, with Boozer andbsp;The first half of the season is over and the NBA version of the 'winter break' has entered. The major media are discussing the performance of each team and the performance of the major stars in the first half of the season, and then looking at the second half of the season.

    Sports fans have also focused their enthusiasm on the NBA under the guidance of the media.

    In North America, since the Super Bowl has ended on January 26, fans have refocused their attention from the NFL playoffs to the NBA after two consecutive games in the Remy Martin Twin Towers.

    And each team, during the All-Star Weekend, also has time to make adjustments or try to make adjustments.

    Some teams may have been hesitating and brewing for more than a week, and then the ¡®winter break¡¯ has just passed.

    Some teams are very decisive

    On the morning of February 3, 2003, the Bulls and Magic officially announced that the two teams had completed the transaction!

    The content of the transaction is very interesting and has nothing to do with the players.

    The Bulls sent Larry Brown, $1.5 million in annual salary gap compensation for this season, and acquired Doc Rivers and a 2004 second-round draft pick from the Magic!

    When the Bulls and Magic officially announced the trade, other strong teams were shocked!

    The most unlikely but definitely frightening scenario is that the Magic are out of their minds again. Instead of Kwame Brown, they trade Kwame Brown for Malone and help free up salary space for the Bulls.

    McGrady, Kobe, Kwame Brown, the East will be dark in the next ten years

    But it turns out that the content of the transaction is even more incredible than the most incredible situation people expected!

    The two teams actually exchanged their head coaches!

    The Magic¡¯s dissatisfaction with Doc Rivers is nothing new. Doc Rivers is better at ¡®coaching¡¯ than developing players or building a system.

    But for the Bulls, Plan B and Malone had a split. They had been in trouble for half a season. After Kobe scored 80 points, he publicly stated that Malone should be traded.

    As a result, after half a season of turmoil, the Bulls sent Larry Brown away to ease the conflicts within the team The operation was very charming!

    Atlanta is a big city with strong spending power.

    After Phoenix played its last game before the All-Star Weekend, the next day, on the morning of February 3, Zhang Hao took Hu Weidong, Cassell, Ben Wallace, Jason Williams, Artest  The special men came to Atlanta and began business activities.

    Currently, Hu Weidong, Artest, Jason Williams and others are promoting the No.24 series.

    Zhang Hao and Daben¡¯s sneakers have sold very well this year, although other sneaker brands are crowding out x sports, including Nike, which cooperates with x sports.

    But it still can¡¯t stop x sports¡¯s sales of sneakers from 2002 to 2003 to exceed 100 million.

    Although this is the No. 24 series, et series, truth series, Big Ben series, Silver Horn King series, etc., it can ensure that the annual sales exceed 100 million, but this is already an excellent achievement.

    After all, it was in the summer of 2000 that x Sports officially launched its first sneakers.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that even if the annual sales exceed 100 million US dollars, it is difficult to make a profit. The main profit of x sports now comes from the high-tech insole technology that is always one step ahead of the others and the global endorsement fees from Zhang Hao¡¯s endorsement of Nike.

    Sales of sneakers have hit a new high, and advertising investment has almost used up all the profits.

    But this is only in Europe and America.

    Domestically, it has started to make profits a long time ago, even before it started to launch self-produced sneakers.

    The domestic market is a solid backing for x Sports to conquer cities around the world.

    ¡­¡­

    After the day's business activities, back at the hotel, Zhang Hao and others learned about the deal between the Bulls and the Magic.

    "The Bulls management reallyhas ideas!" Zhang Hao did not expect that the Bulls would solve the problem from this angle.

    Jason Williams responded: "Many teams offered Malone. The Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs all wanted Malone, but the Bulls rejected it. Sure enough, they wanted to try to ease the conflict and sustain this season.  "

    As Jason Williams said, the Bulls' operation cannot be said to solve the problem. Instead, this operation shows that the Bulls do not intend to solve the problem of internal strife among the three superstars.

    The conflict between the three is almost irreconcilable, but Malone's contract will end after this season. Malone still averages 19.6 points, 8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season. He has played in 48 games, has strong offense and excellent passing.  Defense on the line¡­

    Zhang Hao said: "It seems that they want to delay this season, temporarily cover up the conflicts, and rush for another year. In fact, this is the most correct approach. Malone is not the future of the Bulls, and he should make good use of his value now.  Rather than creating a lose-lose situation.¡±

    Jason Williams said: "I just didn't expect them to find a breakthrough in this direction. I heard that Bryant's agent recommended Phil Jackson to coach again."

    Zhang Hao responded: "Rivers also has his advantages. He is very good at handling interpersonal problems within the team and is good at empathizing with ideals"

    The NBA has some people with distinctive characteristics. In terms of management and coaching staff, Pistons general manager Joe Dumars is practical, SuperSonics general manager Larry Harris is prudent, and the Rockets and Clippers owners  His stinginess, former Bulls coach Larry Brown¡¯s bad mouth, Sonics owner Howard Schultz¡¯s coffee, Sonics owner Michael Jordan is always accompanied by a Cuban model to help cut cigars and the former  Magic coach Doc Rivers' ability to draw a pie.

    These are the characteristics that fans can think of immediately when they mention them.

    ¡­¡­

    ??This year¡¯s trade deadline started with two head coaches exchanging clubs, which is very interesting.

    Sports should be more serious, but professional sports should not be so serious.

    This development is unreasonable, but it makes the fans feel comfortable.

    Before the start of the All-Star Weekend, fans saw various off-field activities of the stars.

    For example, the lawsuit between Kobe and Adidas started. Adidas sued Kobe for helping to promote competing products. Kobe said that he had not confiscated the endorsement fee and could wear whatever he liked. Not only did he have to wear the No. 24 generation, but he would also wear it in the next All-Star Game.  Nike sneakers, change one pair every session.

    It¡¯s very confusing, but Kobe¡¯s operation actually attracted a wave of fans.

    In the past two years, things that have happened around Kobe have become more and more outrageous. Not long ago, he was fooled by a magician and had to pay 2 million to complete an out-of-court settlement but his popularity is constantly rising.

    On February 6th, the All-Star Weekend officially begins.

    The rookie competition was very lively. Although the first and second years were mixed, Arenas¡¯s personality wasThey said they regretted giving big contracts to Alvin Williams and Antonio Davis in 2001. They felt that these two players were now junk contract players and needed first-round picks and talented young players to be able to send them out.

    "Two years ago, in the summer of 2001, the Raptors management shouted that they were going to win the championship next, leaving behind a strong championship lineup.

    "The role players definitely shouldn't be the ones taking the blame. They can only do so much. The dual-core is not good enough, and it's just not as good as the previous year.

    Now, Carter will be out for two months, Odom has been sent away, Antonio Davis and Alvin Williams have been sent away with more than three years left on their contracts with a combined average of $19 million per year, and the Raptors still have  There are 34 games left and the current record of 23 wins and 25 losses can basically be a happy one.

    Parker and Gooden, two talents with starting potential, are not wanted by the RaptorsCurrently, both of them are regarded as talents with starting potential.

    The starting potential is not low. In the draft, the top three picks aside, the fourth and fifth picks. If you can choose a player who can be a starter for more than 5 years in his career, it will not be a loss. If he can be selected as an All-Star or two during this period,  , that¡¯s a profit.

    Like Ginobili, in the original time and space, his 16-year NBA career was actually only selected to the All-Star twice.

    But obviously, the Raptors look down on young players like Parker and Gooden, and they want talents like Carter.

    This may be related to the fact that they sent Odom away.

    People are very interesting creatures. When they throw away 50 yuan, whether they throw it away voluntarily or because they have no choice but to throw it away, they will look down on 10 or 20 yuan for a long time.  , and I won¡¯t feel too excited when I see something worth 50 yuan. I feel that only something worth 100 yuan is worthy of attention.

    ¡­¡­

    What's going on with the Raptors doesn't matter now, because the Raptors are basically done with this season - when Carter is injured and won't be able to return until mid-to-late March, it's just to clean up everything.'  obstacles', and at the same time took the opportunity to unfreeze the salary space that was originally locked until 2006.

    The future of the Raptors can be seen at a glance, and people don't care so much about what happens next. So after discussing the "unkindness" of the Raptors management, people turned their attention to the other three teams.  superior.

    The Magic introduced Larry Brown.

    No matter what the process is, Larry Brown has become a "good coach with excellent ability to cultivate talents."

    He was the one who brought out the 76ers' double No. 1 pick and the Bulls' Plan B combination. Going back further, he was the one who unearthed the Pacers' double pick Davis, and he was the one who brought up David Robinson.

    Now that the Magic have Kwame Brown and Gooden, they have also brought veteran Antonio Davis back to impart experience. It seems that Larry Brown is going to work.

    The Grizzlies, with Damon Stoudemire declining and internal conflicts, are currently ranked second to last in the Western Conference. It¡¯s hard to say what their next record will be. Anyway, Damon Stoudemire¡¯s backup players  Got it.

    Parker, a man as fast as Damon Stoudemire.

    Gooden was sent away in exchange for Gordon Kirisek. With strong support at the shooting guard position, internal conflicts were resolved.

    With their current record of 12 wins and 36 losses, there is indeed no room for struggle.

    ¡°And their draft picks this year were all sorted out as early as 1999, and they were still unprotected.

    According to the news from the source, the Grizzlies management is very calm and tells the players that everyone can finish the season happily this year. It is best to win a few more games. It doesn¡¯t matter if they lose. Just treat it as charity.  Yes, the important thing is that everyone should improve in the game.

    The most high-profile person in this deal is the Sonics.

    They got the one with the most talent and strength in this deal involving about 10 players from 4 teams - Lamar Odom!

    Artest, Kirilenko, Zhang Hao, Odom, Ben Wallace, Chandler, other players in other positions are ignored. Odom joins the Sonics, and the Sonics' frontcourt is full of manpower.  To the extreme!

    Let¡¯s not talk about the future salary situation. Now, the Sonics¡¯ already extremely powerful inside line has become even stronger!

    In terms of the back line, the biggest problem for the Sonics this season is the back line. There is only one star in Cassell, Brent Barry, Parker, and Ginobili. They are either young or too mediocre.

    Now, even Parker is gone.

    On February 9, after returning to Seattle, Zhang Hao was asked this question in an interview.

    Zhang Hao responded: "No problem, even if there is a problem, it will be solved. Besides, I am very used to working with magicians, and I also like working with magicians."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??I love working with magicians.  "

 Chapter 550 550. The genius whose mouth was opened by God and fed (7000 words please vote)

    Most of the young players on the Sonics are ambitious, but the one who is clearly dissatisfied with their current position is Parker.

    When Parker was traded to the Grizzlies, it was clear to his former teammates that he was very happy.

    This made the teammates who were somewhat reluctant to give up feel that it was better to wish them well.

    More than a season and a half later, teammates actually sensed Parker¡¯s dissatisfaction with the status quo very early on.

    It is understandable. After all, Parker's treatment in the team is mediocre. Kirilenko has been clearly Ben Wallace's substitute since his rookie season. Chandler is also Zhang Hao's substitute. As for Parker,  In his rookie season, he was a backup among the backups.

    In the new season, when Ginobili arrived, he also relied on a more mature style of play to have relatively stable playing time.

    It¡¯s just that when Parker was traded, his teammates felt somewhat ¡®betrayed¡¯. After learning about Parker¡¯s reaction, this feeling disappeared

    It¡¯s more of a relief.

    So far this season, they have two clear strong points on the offensive end-Zhang Hao and Cassell.

    They are good enough on defense, but the offensive end has always been a big problem, and they can't find a third truly clear strong point.

    Artest¡¯s offensive strength is about 15 points per game, Parker is slightly worse, and then there are Ginobili and Brent Barry who average 10 points per game.

    The SuperSonics and Raptors have been flirting with each other for more than a day or two. The signs that have appeared in the team also made some players expect it.

    Everyone knows who the team is most likely to be traded, but before the transaction is completed, if those few players are lost, others are also possible.

    Now that the deal has really been completed, we have acquired a top player who can average 17 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1 steal, and 1.6 blocks per game in his second year. Finally, we have a third clear strength on the offensive end.

    And now that the All-Star Weekend has passed, there should be no more trades, and the Sonics players have much less to worry about.

    ¡­¡­

    "Lamar Odom, 23 years old, 208 cm, 104 kg, ability evaluation 84 (?) played 29 games with the Raptors this season, started 25 games, averaged 33 minutes per game, and averaged 14.1 points per game.  8.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.9 blocksshooting rate 42.9%, three-point shooting rate 31.6%"

    Zhang Hao looked at Odom's player detection report, which was being tested, and felt so miserable.

    'I looked at last season. I played 80 games, averaging 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. In the playoffs, I averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 assists per game. It was a bit of a dive and then this year it was  The Raptors want to send him away?  Or is it because he wants to renew the contract at a lower price, so he lowers his playing time and performance opportunities?

    It may also have something to do with himself. If Odom is as active, focused and competitive as the original Double Davis, the Raptors will probably renew his contract appropriately.  ¡¯

    Zhang Hao was watching Odom's test, and almost all the Sonics players were watching.

    The trade resulted in the acquisition of Odom and Foster. The latter was bought out directly by the Sonics after the trade, freeing up the position and allowing the latter to find his next job earlier.

    Odom¡¯s test and physical examination were completed after Odom arrived in Seattle yesterday. Today¡¯s physical and technical tests will be conducted.

    The direction of Odom¡¯s testing is mainly related to point guards.

    The Sonics players were not surprised by which direction Odom was tested, but by the test itself!

    From various tests, the SuperSonics players' feelings towards Odom, their new teammate Apart from Zhang Hao, there is no one else on the team who can match Odom's talent!

    Some players¡¯ talents are really visible to the naked eye.

    Although Parker was traded away, it allowed the rest of the team to feel at ease.

    Although Parker is not strong yet, the talent he has shown is unmatched by other young players in the Sonics' three outside positions, including Artest, including Kirilenko. Therefore, most teammates initially felt that  Kirilenko or Chandler may be sent away, after all, the team is short of outsiders.

    But since Parker has been traded away, it means that the team will most likely not move the frontcourt players.

    At this time, teammates are worried about whose position will be squeezed out after Odom comes.

    But seeing Odom¡¯s skills, physical talent, and everything elseit seems like it¡¯s not a big deal if anyone gets squeezed out

    ¡­¡­

    "Oh, yo, I never thought we would come together again, so my career will be full of meaning"

    &nbsp?, and nothing is bad, it is possible that the three main statistics are the highest in the team, and then the team does not know how to recruit around them.

    It's okay for such players to be strong. If they are not that strong, it's hard to say whether they can play well. Some even performed as All-Stars in one team last season and were poached by other teams.  In the end, there is no need for a process and it directly becomes a junk contract.

    But any team that has a player like this has a great possibility of getting better - because this new player can do anything!

    If he is not used as a core player, but as a substitute, and he is willing to play as a substitute, then

    The media and some fans are always very impatient. After only 10 days, they are advocating that the Sonics made a wrong choice in trading for Odom, as if the deal can be finalized in 10 days.

    But within 10 days, we just discovered the problem.

    With a player who knows everything and has reached the first-class level in almost every skill, it is too easy to adjust his playing style to meet the needs of the team

    By late February, the Sonics started a winning streak!

    On February 22, the Sonics beat the Bucks 104-85 at home; on February 24, the Sonics narrowly defeated the Knicks 102-97 at home; on February 25, the Sonics beat the Knicks 101-90 at home.  Easily defeated the Pistons; on February 27, the SuperSonics slaughtered the Hawks 103-76 at home.

    In February, the SuperSonics ended their 4-game winning streak, temporarily stabilizing first place in the Western Conference and first place in the league.

    On March 1st, the Sonics scored 109-101 at home, allowing over 100 points for the fifth time this season, but still defeated the Clippers by 8 points and won five consecutive games.

    On March 3, the SuperSonics were 98-96 away from home. Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer to defeat the Timberwolves and win 6 consecutive games.

    On March 4, the Sonics played back-to-back away games against the Nuggets. Odom had his first triple-double in his Sonics career, scoring 15 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks. He led the team to a 106-88 victory over the Nuggets, scoring 7 points.  Winning streak!

    Finally, on March 6, the fourth game in six days was the last consecutive away game. The Sonics lost to the Jazz 93-104 in an away game. The winning streak was ended and the record became 49 wins and 13 losses.  , it¡¯s a pity that there was a winning streak that reached 50 wins.

    ? ? Immediately afterwards, on March 8, the SuperSonics returned to their home court and unfortunately lost to the 76ers 89-93, suffering a two-game losing streak.

    This time, people no longer questioned it. They could all see that the Sonics' outside shooting in these two games was extremely poor. It was purely a matter of state.

    The winning streak is still a slap in the face.

    No, on March 10th, the Sonics felt significantly better. They defeated the Mavericks 107-99 at home and won their 50th victory of the season. Their record improved to 50 wins and 14 losses, and they became the first team this season ahead of the Mavericks.  A team that won more than 50 games also turned the Mavericks' record into 49 wins and 15 losses!

    After a series of wins and losses, there was a winning streak. After a winning streak, some problems were more or less exposed, and then adjustments were made.

    Whether it is a staggered victory or defeat, a winning streak, or a losing streak, the three stages all illustrate the instability of the Sonics during this period.

    When this month-long running-in period passed, the Sonics began to truly enter a stable state.

    On March 12th and 13th, the SuperSonics played the Warriors and Suns back-to-back away from home, defeating the Warriors 99-85 and narrowly beating the Suns 83-79.

    On March 15, the SuperSonics returned to their home court and narrowly defeated the Nuggets 101-99. Odom received a pass from Zhang Hao at the free throw line and rushed in to complete the layup Even Odom who completed the victory was doubtful.  life.

    Carter is also a master of winning shots, but every killing shot by Carter is earth-shattering.

    When it comes to Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao runs and catches the ball. The position where he catches the ball is the baseline. His teammates can directly rush in and get a layup

    With 53 wins and 14 losses, the SuperSonics won three consecutive victories!

    The three-game winning streak did not last. On March 18, after two days of rest, the Sonics faced the challenge of the Warriors at home. This time, the Warriors got excited and defended quite well, restricting the Sonics for the whole game.  He only scored 86 points and narrowly defeated the Sonics 90-86, handing the Sonics their 15th defeat.

    On March 20th and 21st, the Sonics played the Rockets and Trail Blazers for two consecutive games. They lost to the Rockets 91-97 and massacred the Trail Blazers 115-91. Their record became 54 wins and 16 losses.

    After the first 70 games of the season, the Sonics achieved a record of 54 wins and 16 losses, half a game ahead of the Lakers, who are currently 54 wins and 17 losses after playing one more game, and one win ahead of the Mavericks, who are 53 wins and 17 losses.  Field, temporarily ranked first in the league!

    Next, the Sonics will have 4 games at the end of this month and 8 games in the first 20 days of April. 4 games at the end of this month, 3 home and 1 away. They will first play the Grizzlies, 76ers, and Wizards at home.  team, and then play the Lakers away from home to end the game in March.

    There is something to watch in every game, including the Grizzlies with Damon Stoudemire

    By the 8 games in April, the main opponents were the Timberwolves, Mavericks, Kings, Bulls, and Suns, interspersed with games against the Rockets, Jazz, and Spurs.

    In these 12 games, it will not be easy for the Sonics to stay first in the league!

 Chapter 551 551. The final puzzle (6000 words please vote)

    During the period of the 5th company, there was a wave of 3 consecutive days of rest, from March 22 to 24, which was very helpful for the Sonics.

    On the 22nd and 23rd, the Sonics coaching staff did not arrange team training, and only arranged individual technical training on the afternoon of the 23rd.

    Rest is important.

    The coaching staff did not sit idle, nor did they let several core players idle. After a day off on the 22nd, on the morning of the 23rd, Zhang Hao, Cassell, and Ben Wallace were called to the arena to discuss the next step.  schedule.

    Yesterday, the coaching staff had discussed how to adjust next, but they still had to go through it with the three core players.

    First, we analyzed the changes in the team over the past month or so and the progress of adjustments in various aspects.

    Cassel said: "The addition of Lamar has really helped us a lot."

    Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace both nodded.

    In the past 40 days, the Sonics have played 22 games, going from 39 wins and 9 losses to 54 wins and 16 losses, which means their record during this period is 15 wins and 7 losses.

    The record situation does not seem to be much different from before the All-Star weekend, but in late February and early to mid-March, the Sonics' schedule was tighter than in January, and the intensity of their opponents was not as strong as in January.  Difference.

    In this way, to stabilize the record, first of all, we must at least keep up with the progress of the strong teams in the entire league. It is not easy when there are personnel changes.

    Moreover, putting aside the six games in the 10 days just after the All-Star Weekend, the following was 12 wins and 4 losses. In other words, after Odom gradually integrated, the Sonics finally returned from the end of their 23-game winning streak.  By February 20th, the winning rate was more than 60%, which improved to a wave of games with a winning rate of more than 70%!

    Odom works very hard. He is in a contract year and has another chance to compete for the championship. He also has two old partners from high school in Artest and Zhang Hao.

    In order to win three consecutive championships, my teammates are working hard and actively cooperating with the team to adjust.

    The coaching staff worked hard and devoted themselves to leading the team to adjust.

    The addition of a player with a core style of play, even though he is a substitute, is also very taxing on the reconstruction of the Sonics' overall style of play.

    ¡°Basically again, these efforts are all deserved.

    But even so, in more than 40 days, the adjustment was almost completed

    If it¡¯s the beginning of the season, and it takes more than a month to complete adjustments through training camps and preseason games, that wouldn¡¯t be a surprise.

    ¡°But we were more than halfway into the regular season. It was only in the latter part of the regular season that we started to adjust, and the progress was actually so fast.

    The main reason is not about how hard his teammates work or how hard his coach works, but about Odom's talent.

    ¡°At first, the teammates and coaches were quite reserved, but as time went on, it became¡ª¡®Lamar, you want to do what you want here, what you want to do there¡­¡¯

    ¡°I won¡¯t make excessive demands. After all, it means that if you ask for something, you must do it right away.

    But since a request needs to be made, it means that it is not something that can be done casually.

    Teammates and the team all need to adjust with Odom immediately, and others make demands on Odom based on what they can do.

    Then, Odom really did it!

    On this basis, they completed the leap from a winning rate of about 67% to a winning rate of 75%!

    In the eyes of others, they currently have 54 wins and 16 losses, with a winning rate of 77%. The "recovery" of this winning rate is not a particularly important thing.

    Only they themselves know that this is not a simple matter.

    Listening to the coaching staff's analysis, listening to Cassel's praise of Odom, and watching Odom's last 22 games, he averaged 26 minutes per game, scoring 10.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks.  , 53.1% field goal percentage, 34.3% three-point shooting percentage

    Zhang Hao said: "We will definitely make progress. Our direction is right, but now we can only say that we have dispelled people's doubts about our introduction of Lamar. In the next 12 games, we have to do better.  , get ready for the playoffs.¡±

    In fact, if Odom is traded to another team that is willing to give chips and take a junk contract, it will not bring particularly high attention.

    For more than three years, the Raptors, for Carter and Odom, have been consuming the popularity brought by their talents.

    The few years in the Raptors did not bring any additional improvement to the two of them.

    It¡¯s just because the team is the Sonics and a controversial talent like Odom is added that there are so many topics.

    &nbspThere are actually very few serious players. Wesley Persson wants to go to a strong championship team while still having the strength. This is what most ordinary stars do to cling to their dignity at this age.

    Wesley Persson's buyout agreement with the Grizzlies has been reached, but he is not yet able to join immediately and has to deal with some details. The SuperSonics have basically settled the deal with Wesley Persson.  After signing the contract, that night, we faced the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers.

    ¡­¡­

    This season, Zhang Hao won the Player of the Month twice at the beginning of the season. He did not win it in January and February, but he is still one of the players who has won the Player of the Month the most times this season

    After February, he was caught up, and Duncan also won the best of the month twice!

    "Tim Duncan, 26 years old (April 25, 1976), 211 cm, 116 kg, ability evaluation 102averaged 25.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1 steal, 2.9 blocks per gameshooting rate 51.3%, free throw shooting  The rate is 71%¡­¡±

    Among the opponents Zhang Hao has seen this year, no matter whether it is the strength displayed on the court or the ratings in the player detection report, no one is better than Duncan!

    O'Neal, Kobe, Garnett, Kidd, Tracy McGrady, Iverson they all don't work, they all have a gap!

    O'Neal has returned to the level of a 'normal super giant', with a 99 ability rating. Duncan, who is 26-27 years old this season, has become the strongest opponent Zhang Hao has encountered this season!

    The 76ers currently have 43 wins and 28 losses, and there is still a certain possibility of reaching 50 wins.

    Zhang Hao looked at the opposing lineup. Iverson, Duncan, Aaron McGee, Raheem, Van Horn, Snow, and Kenny Thomas, the seven-man core is great.

    But apart from these 7 people, the current strength of the rest of the 76ers team is that some are too old, and some have just entered the NBA Anyway, no one else has the ability to evaluate 70.

    In addition, Snow and Aaron McGee have both missed more than 25 games this season, and Raheem and Kenny Thomas also joined the 76ers later That's it, Duncan averaged 25+13+3+1 per game.  +3, Iverson averaged 23+4+7+2 per game, Raheem averaged 16+7+2+1 per game

    Relying on a seven-man core rotation with two people often injured, the 76ers still have a chance to win 50 wins. As an opponent, Zhang Hao has to give a thumbs up to the opposing Big Three!

    The monkey is too difficult!  There are no reinforcements, the whole process will be c!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 552 552. You are getting old too (7000 words, please double the monthly ticket!)

    Duncan's data could have been better. After Raheem joined, Duncan's playing time increased and his scoring data declined.

    Originally Coleman could still serve as a substitute for the center position, but now

    The same situation exists for Iverson, whose data has also dropped quite a bit, reaching a new low since the lockout.

    'There are more Van Horn and Raheem. This is a normal situation. It is not only a normal situation, but also a situation worthy of vigilance. They have the conditions to strengthen in the summer. 58. The monkeys are giving way to Raheem and Van Horn.  Quan, they are all willing to fight for the championship'

    Zhang Hao is thinking about what kind of obstacles the 76ers will bring to him in the future. The big stars on the 76ers are looking at the SuperSonics lineup and thinking of the second-generation basketball player who is about to join the SuperSonics

    ¡®Why are all the rookies chosen by the opponent so talented?  ¡¯

    This is the most difficult thing for the stars of the major teams to understand about the Sonics after the start of this season.

    The Sonics have won the championship in the past two seasons, but no one has noticed this, because the Sonics have been dominated by veterans in the past two seasons, and they can't wait to have the rhythm of all veterans in the entire lineup.

    This year is different. All the veterans are cleared, and players over 30 years old are not available.

    The views of the media and fans are different.

    The Sonics are the two consecutive defending champions. No matter what, the media regard the Sonics as even stronger than the previous two years - this is what must be done to create buzz and increase ratings.

    Most fans think that the championship is very powerful. There are some people who know the game and know that every time they win the championship, the new season will not be easy. But after all, there are only a few people who know the game. Most people still think what the media says.

    Players are different. The SuperSonics' championship opponents know very well that the swarming veterans who have embraced the SuperSonics have played a big role in the SuperSonics' ability to win the championship in the past two seasons.

    Experience, willingness to give up data and performance opportunities for the championship

    This season the SuperSonics do not want veterans and are fully committed to cultivating young players. Not to mention experience, determination, etc. Strength alone is a big problem.

    But the four first- and second-year players Parker, Ginobili, Chandler, and Kirilenko played very well!  Parker was also favored by the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies used subsequent trades to help the SuperSonics acquire Odom in the Parker trade!

    Looking at Chandler, Kirilenko, Artest, Odom, Ben Wallace, and Zhang Hao standing together on the opposite side, the rotation of the three frontcourt positions composed of these six people

    The three substitutes, Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans, and Jason Williams, are also very distinctive functional players.

    Iverson really wants to ask the opponent - you still have a rookie, Matt Barnes, who can't use it, right?  Can you send it to us next year?

    In recent years, the rookies selected by the SuperSonics seem to be able to play now!

    In the past two seasons, I haven't seen it too much, and I have made it clear that Abf is made. This season, it has proved the draft strength of the supersonic speed team.

    This also illustrates a situation-if the SuperSonics did not choose to fully develop new players this season, they may not be able to trade for Odom.

    Looking at the previous teams that wanted to get young players from the Sonics, the Bucks offered Ray Allen who did not want to stay with the team and was unwilling to trade later; the Pistons wanted to give Stackhouse; the SuperSonics  Eddie Jones, Finley, Reed, Hamilton none of them got the serious rewards the team wanted.

    But now, after Parker showed his talent in scoring more than ten points per game in his second year while also getting four or five assists, the Grizzlies decided to help the Sonics win Odom

    Iverson, Duncan, Raheem and others discussed this matter privately and came to the conclusion that the Sonics have a lot to gain by not looking for veterans!

    Zhang Hao has entered his peak period and can help the team train young people and lead them to progress like O'Neal of the Lakers and Cassell and Jordan of the SuperSonics in previous years.

    ? Then, you can show your talent and show your draft skills.

    And then through this series of methods, we will create lineup continuity for many years to come!

    This will definitely be difficult, and it is very risky to do it in the year of two consecutive championships. The Sonics still have to defend the title. When other teams need young talent, they have to give it away

    But at this time, the horrific personal performances of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, who led the team to an opening 23-game winning streak, made many problems no longer a problem.

    The SuperSonics don¡¯t need to worry about the record or fight for the ranking After 23 consecutive victories, the SuperSonics¡°I can only sigh that if people¡¯s circumstances are different, everything may be different.

    ¡­¡­

    On March 30, 2003, the SuperSonics came to Los Angeles.

    Today, the SuperSonics officially submitted their 15-man roster for the playoffs.

    Cassell, Arroyo, Brent Barry, Ginobili, Wesley Person, Artest, Odom, Kirilenko, Matt Barnes, Zhang Hao,  Jason Williams, Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans, Ben Wallace, Chandler.

    Arriving in Los Angeles, the SuperSonics held a training session in the afternoon and announced tomorrow's activated list. Matt Barnes, Jason Williams, and Chris Anderson were placed on the inactive list.

    The SuperSonics are in good health this season. Chandler, Cassell, and Ginobili have missed at least 10 times due to injuries. Everyone else is fine.

    Due to the emphasis on cultivating new players, Jason Williams and Matt Barnes played very few games this season. The former played a total of 33 games and the latter 35 games. The former is indeed old and the latter  It ranks very low in the team's priority for developing young players.

    With the last 9 regular season games left this season, the official roster for the playoffs must be determined, and possible injuries must also be taken into consideration With these, the SuperSonics coaching staff has to be very busy, and the players must work hard to play better.  That¡¯s fine.

    Tomorrow, the last day of March, the last game of the month, the Sonics really want to win.

    In terms of direct head-to-head results, the SuperSonics and Lakers are tied 1-2 this season, falling behind. This has a high probability of affecting the final ranking.

    Moreover, if they play directly against each other, if the Sonics lose, the lead will be reduced by one game, and they will fall behind 1 to 3 in the regular season. If they win, it will be too much for the Sonics.  Okay, let's continue to increase the advantage of 1 victory, and the result will be a draw in a direct confrontation!

    At 6:40 in the evening on March 31, the SuperSonics players entered the Staples Center stadium first.

    Looking at Pierce, Ray Allen, and O'Neal walking out from the opposite side Zhang Hao felt that these days, any team can produce a three- or four-person star combination!

    Some teams may not be as strong as the giants, but they also have their own characteristics.

    And such a situation will not lead to an excessive concentration of stars and damage to the excitement of the game, because these days, there are really many stars with strength and characteristics emerging.

    The Lakers are naturally not a ¡®randomly pulled¡¯ team, but a representative of a giant combination!

    After so long, the Sonics also know the multiple reasons for not getting Ray Allen.

    First of all, the Bucks¡¯ vice president of player operations is a former SuperSonics general manager, and he is not willing to trade with the Sonics.

    ??Also, Ray Allen is unwilling to try his luck by joining the Sonics when the team has won two consecutive championships and is facing the retirement of one of its core players, Jordan.

    Ray Allen himself was unwilling to come. The Bucks' new management didn't want to assist the Sonics, so they took advantage of the situation and sent him to the Lakers.

    But now, the Bucks are said to have regretted it.

    Because the Sonics were originally willing to send Parker + Kirilenko + draft picks, or Parker + Chandler + draft picks.

    Payton is still regarded as a super giant. Referring to the future union president, even if he is almost 35 years old, Payton's transaction value is still very high. After all, he is a point guard who does not rely on physical fitness. At that time, Payton's value was not  Less than two second-year players + a draft pick from the Sonics, and at best, a small loss in draft picks.

    But now it¡¯s different Parker, Kirilenko, Chandler, their talents are gradually turning into strength!

    "The matter has long been a foregone conclusion. The fans are very excited about the details that are revealed later, and the players also like to pay attention to these gossips related to themselves But these are just for fun and discussing legendary stories.

    Now, the SuperSonics and Ray Allen, the shooting guard who was originally the most suitable for them, are already opponents!

    "Shaquille O'Neal, 31 years old, 216 cm, 148 kg, ability evaluation 99"

    Big Fatty came to the technical table to apply magnesium powder and communicated with the referee to choose a ball with more air and talk faster when it bounced or struck.

    Suddenly, Big Fatty saw a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure appear in front of him!

    Open your mouth!

    This bastard finally took the initiative to speak, and O'Neal had already started brainstorming how to respond

    "Mr. O'Neill, you are getting old too"

 Chapter 553 553. It¡¯s like playing a serious All-Star game (asking for double monthly votes)

    "You're old!" O'Neal was about to run away on the spotDon't pull meHey, there's no one around, so forget it.

    With great difficulty, this guy took the initiative to speak, it would be better not to speak.

    "What's wrong with getting old? You won't be over 30 years old?"

    Thinking of this, O'Neill became even more angry and glared at Zhang Hao fiercely.

    If this guy doesn¡¯t leave, will he need to worry about his age?

    But now I am really worried about my age 'Fortunately, I have already had an MVP and a championship. I will work harder and win another championship, preferably an FMVP, and my career will be complete'

    ¡®?  ?  ?  ¡¯ When Zhang Hao opened his mouth, he found that he had once again accidentally poked the sore spot. Just as he was about to make up for it, he saw O¡¯Neal¡¯s face-changing scene ¡®What¡¯s wrong with the big fat guy?  ¡¯

    After adjusting his mood, O'Neal was still a little happy. After several years, Zhang Hao finally took the initiative to speak O'Neal replied again: "Am I old? Is there a center on your team who dares to play one-on-one with me? Are you coming?"  "

    Zhang Hao responded: "I'm just saying, Mr. O'Neal, you are getting old. It doesn't mean that you are no longer strong. You are still the strongest center, but you are not as strong as you were in the past few years. What a pity."

    It's really a pity O'Neal could tell that Zhang Hao was telling the truth, and said: "That's for sure. I turned 31 a while ago, and you even gave me a truck of beer. I'm not as strong as last year or the year before that. That's for sure.  By the way, why did you give me a cart of beer on my birthday?¡±

    "We are brothers, so let's have a beer together"

    ¡°???¡±

    "It's okay. When I saw the beer, I thought of your birthday, so I bought it by the way."

    Hearing this, O'Neal looked down at his belly and patted it, it looked a bit like

    Zhang Hao asked in confusion: "Mr. O'Neill, aren't you angry that you are old?"

    "I'm just old, not weak."

    "oh¡­¡­"

    ¡­¡­

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s definitely a sign of pretty strong self-confidence for an athlete who¡¯s not too big-minded to dare to face up to his age.

    But as O'Neal said, Zhang Hao also knows that even 31-year-old O'Neal is definitely one of the three best players in the league. Let alone 31 years old, if Carlisle's usage is used, O'Neal will be the No. 3 player in the next three years.  With a center, O'Neal will most likely be the most effective player at the center position in the next five years.

    After discussing age with O'Neal, Pierce also came up and had a few words.

    Since I meet Pierce often, I would go to Pierce's house for dinner every time I go to Los Angeles. Pierce's mother's apartment is still open, and she still likes to cookbut now she has to hire a bodyguard, and she wears a big gold chain all day long.  Looking at the watch, I recall that 10 years ago, Pierce's mother would be afraid of others seeing her when she went out at night. Now she doesn't dare to go out at night.

    Time is a very interesting thing. When Zhang Hao came to the Staples Center again this year, there were not so many people booing him.

    Originally, he thought that he was once again on the road to winning three consecutive championships and would be booed even more when he came to play in this arena. This was not the case.

    For example, there were fans at the scene holding signs saying ¡®x, championship, us or you¡¯.

    Facts have proved that anyone can leave Zhang Hao, but this generation of Lakers fans have lost their Magic, their logo man, and their McCann

    There are already rumors in Los Angeles that if the combination of O'Neal, Pierce, and Ray Allen does not win the championship at this stage, then the Lakers will change.

    This is not a secret. Pierce's big contract has begun to be implemented and taxes have begun to be paid. The pressure to win the championship has naturally come. The nostalgia that the championship brought to Lakers fans 5 years ago has almost disappeared by now. It has only been two years.  There has to be a championship to satisfy the fans.

    O'Neal and Zhang Hao are constantly entangled, Pierce and Zhang Hao have a very good relationship, among the three major Lakers stars, there is another person who has long disliked Zhang Hao - Ray Allen.

    "At first, Ray Allen couldn't stand Zhang Hao. There was no other reason. He just couldn't stand it. The two had a grudge during the three-point contest.

    But no matter whether the relationship is good or bad, Zhang Hao will not be given face when it comes to the court.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the SuperSonics' away game against the Lakers started.

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Fisher, Ray Allen, Pierce, Robert Horry, and O'Neal.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Cassell, Brent Barry, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace.

    ??Same as the previous three games, O'Neal, Pierce, Ray Allen, the threeBoth Chandler and Kirilenko were traded in the free market, and with Parker, they were trying to replace an All-Star shooting guard.

    Rather than asking for veterans, we signed Arroyo, Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans and others

    The Sonics look so good now because they have adjusted bit by bit.

    For example, during the 23-game winning streak at the beginning, everyone who watched the Sonics felt that the Sonics did not have the strength to win 23 consecutive games at all. They relied solely on the blood of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, and the others were relying on Cassel and Artes.  It would be great if we could not be held back under Te's leadership.

    By now, Chandler and Kirilenko have truly become important parts of the bench, and Odom, the newcomer, has also become the leader of the bench.

    Cassell and Artest have performed stably, and the inside combination of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace is invincible

    This season the SuperSonics have been able to adjust little by little to where they are now, and the coaching staff definitely plays a big role!

    Doug Collins and his coaching staff have also been truly recognized!

    ¡­¡­

    Seeing that he was not the best player of the month in March, Ben Wallace breathed a sigh of relief.

    Last year, it was at this time that I snatched away the boss¡¯ Player of the Month award, and almost caused the boss to not get unanimous MVP votes.

    Thinking about it carefully, it seems that whether or not you win the Rookie of the Month award has no big impact

    But it¡¯s very important not to steal the boss¡¯s Player of the Month award this season!

    Unlike last season, Zhang Hao¡¯s MVP this season is the consecutive MVP, which is more difficult.

    Mainly because there is a monkey in the East who wants to cause trouble, and he has been awarded Player of the Month three times in a single season!

 Chapter 554 554. Another draft year filled with talented people (please double monthly votes!)

    It¡¯s not the fault of Ben Wallace for being overconfident, it¡¯s because he really might steal Zhang Hao¡¯s Player of the Month award.

    In March, his performance was also very good. His performance was affected in mid-to-late February. But in March, after Odom integrated well, Ben Wallace's performance stabilized again and even played well.  The best defensive efficiency since December, re-stabilizing the season average defensive efficiency above 9!

    This may really prevent Zhang Hao from breaking the historical record for the best number of games per month in a single season.

    In the past five seasons, only four players have won Player of the Month three times in a single season, Zhang Hao, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, and now Duncan.

    And if he fails to keep it, Duncan can become the first player of the month in the new century to win 4 times in a single season!

    In the past three seasons, Zhang Hao has won the Player of the Month award three times in a single season and won the MVP twice. In 2001, he was snatched away by Iverson because he had higher requirements for winning the MVP award and his performance in the season was almost the same.  Next, Iverson had the upper hand.

    This season, the situation seems to be very similar. He is the superstar of the 76ers and has the same number of Player of the Month Now there is a chance to make history - a new number of Player of the Month in a single season, but!

    Even if there is a chance to set a new record, the two of them have a chance to tie!

    Like Ben Wallace, there are many other Sonics who are struggling with Zhang Hao¡¯s MVP title.

    Zhang Hao has a unique charm - he always makes people worry about him.

    This kind of 'worry' has been changing. At first, it was Kenny Anderson's fear that he would be bad and bullied. Later, it turned into O'Neal and Cassell's fear that he would be beaten, and then  It's always changing.

    Now, as a teammate, whether he can help Zhang Hao become the greatest person has become a concern for many teammates.

    Because no matter how you look at it, Zhang Hao is as special a player as Magic and Jordan, or even more special.

    It is normal for Zhang Hao to succeed. If he fails, it will be his teammates¡¯ fault - the current mainstream public opinion trend.

    Zhang Hao has always been very concerned about MVP.

    If you don¡¯t get the Player of the Month award in March, it¡¯s basically gone.

    There is still a chance now!

    Zhang Hao remembers that in the original time and space, in the 01-02 season and the 02-03 season, Duncan won consecutive MVPs. It was also possible in the 03-04 season. In the 03-04 season, Duncan played the best efficiency of his career in terms of personal performance.  In the first seven years, he played the lowest playing time and achieved the best efficiency, reaching the peak of physical condition, technology and experience.

    But unfortunately, after the 2003-04 season, Duncan collapsed due to injuries. He went from a superstar who was a level above everyone else to an ordinary superstar.

    Zhang Hao was very excited when he saw Duncan this season. He felt that Duncan this season was as powerful as Duncan in the 2003-04 season in the original time and space. Physical fitness, technology, experience, team everything was combined so well.

    It is naturally a pleasure to compete with Duncan like this for mvp.

    If you can win, you will be even happier.

    Zhang Hao has analyzed it, and now his personal performance is almost the same. In April, there is a high probability that the two of them will win the Player of the Month. If not, they may not win

    The key thing is still yourself!

    For Duncan, getting 50 wins is enough to become the first MVP.

    Zhang Hao remembers that in the original time and space in the 01-02 season, when Duncan won the MVP, the Spurs were not first in the league, just like he, Zhang, won the first MVP in the 1999-00 season.

    But in the 2002-03 season, after Duncan led his team to overtake the Kings and become the league's first in April, he became the real MVP favorite, overtaking Kidd.

    In the end, Duncan only defeated Kidd with 29.8% of the vote with 34.2% of the vote to complete the consecutive MVP. At that time, the Spurs led by Duncan had 60 wins and the Nets led by Kidd only had 49 wins.

    MVP is originally a matter of a single season, but things are often not like this.

    But every superstar is like this when they compete for mvp, so there is nothing unfair

    ¡­¡­

    The April schedule starts with consecutive away games on the 4th, with Texas playing three consecutive away games, playing the Rockets on the 4th, the Spurs on the 6th, and the Mavericks on the 8th.

    ?The next game will be the Timberwolves at home on the 11th, the Bulls at home on the 14th, the Jazz at home on the 16th, the Kings at home on the 18th, and the Suns at home on the 20th.

    Very smoothly, at the beginning of April, the SuperSonics defeated the Rockets and Spurs consecutively, improving their record to 60 wins and 16 losses, becoming the first team to win 60 games this season!

    During the period, on April 5th, in the NCAA finals, Syracuse University made an upset run all the way to the finals and won the NCAA basketball championship. Freshman Carmelo Anthony directlyFrom the end of the third quarter to the present, Zhang Hao scored 7 goals and 18 points in a row, helping the SuperSonics chase the score to 69-77. The point difference was once again narrowed to less than 10 points, and the Bulls called a timeout!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s mad rush directly dispersed the frustration of his teammates who were originally ¡®suppressed¡¯ by him!  The whole team is excited!

    In the 8 minutes after the timeout, the two teams fell into a defensive tug-of-war. It was difficult for both teams to score, but the Sonics could always score goals beyond the rules!

    In 8 minutes, the SuperSonics scored 18 to 10. As Kobe's three-point shot timed out with 2.6 seconds left Although it fell into the basket, when the final whistle sounded, the ball was still in Kobe's hand.

    The ultimate kill is invalid!

    The SuperSonics scored 32-16 in the final quarter. At the end of regular time, the score was tied at 87 and forced into overtime!

    In overtime, Ginobili, who had made 0 of 5 shots in regular time, was put on for a tryand then Ginobili started to ripple!

    Ginobili, who only scored 2 points on free throws in regular time, made 3 of 5 shots in overtime, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 8 points and 2 assists, helping the Sonics win in overtime.  14 points!

    ??Two assists, one for Ben Wallace¡¯s dunk, and one for Zhang Hao¡¯s incredible 3+1. The latter assist helped the Sonics seal the victory!

    In the end, with a score of 14-9 in overtime, the Sonics reversed the Bulls 101-96 and won their 62nd victory of the season!  The record improved to 62 wins and 17 losses!

    Kobe looked at the man with long flowing hair opposite him. He felt bad. He recognized Zhang Hao when he ran away in the last quarter. Where did this guy come from?

    The Bulls used Ginobili as a breakthrough in the 15 minutes he played during regular time.

    But in overtime, this guy played like a superstar!

 Chapter 555 555. The first place in the alliance is finally achieved!  (3 updates with 18,000 words, please double the monthly ticket!)

    In online basketball forums, a group of people have emerged this season. If something goes wrong, they will catch Ginobili and make a fuss about it.

    ??Averaging 18 minutes per game, scoring 7.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals. Ginobili's performance is definitely not very good.

    Ginobili averaged 9 points per game one month, 10 points per game the other month, and a little more than 5 points per game in the remaining three months.

    Can you blow this too?

    Yes, Sonics fans love Ginobili.

    For a second-round pick, who was selected in 1999 and was already 25 years old when he entered the NBA, Sonics fans did not have high expectations.

    If you don't play well, there's nothing you can do about it. How can a second-round pick be good?

    If you can play well and don't hold back, then you've made money.

    Occasionally a few good balls  and often appear, at least two or three games can appear a wonderful goal 

    This kind of Ginobili is indeed liked by fans of his own team.

    And Ginobili can really play an important role in very important games, not just once or twice, but often.

    This one is very special.

    It¡¯s not that the NBA doesn¡¯t have those kind of crazy players, but there are quite a lot of them.

    Like Arroyo of the Sonics, he is a standard neurotic player.

    But it¡¯s very rare for Ginobili to look like a superstar when he¡¯s soaring.

    ¡°And Ginobili was really cheating when he was cheating

    Such a player will not get a good evaluation if placed on a weak team, but in a strong team, he will become a very interesting person - you will not blame him if you lose, but if he helps the team win, he will  Blow up to the sky.

    Like this time, he scored 8 points and 2 assists in overtime and beat Comai in 5 minutes, which made Ginobili popular again.

    The SuperSonics are extremely topical this year!

    Since the 23-game winning streak at the beginning, the topic has never been low.

    In addition to Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, there are many other topics.

    After Chandler showed his talent in protecting the frame and became a good substitute for Zhang Hao, he was linked to the ear-biting Tyson.

    Chris Anderson doesn¡¯t play in every game, and he doesn¡¯t play for too long. His statistics are average, but as long as he plays at home, he can receive cheers.

    Reggie Evans, Bullshit Man became famous in one battle.

    Kassel is already quite famous. With the hot sales of endorsement brands such as Ferrari ET models and x sports ET generation sneakers, it has actually shown quite good commercial value. There are many movies and TV series related to aliens.  He could make a cameo, and a number of other products that referenced Alien elements found him endorsements.

    Kirilenko, wears jersey No. 47.

    When the new Odom was in the Raptors, it was the Raptors that consumed his attention. When he arrived in the SuperSonics, he was known to more fans.

    Although in the Sonics, there is a cool boss, and there are a bunch of thugs next to the bossZuo Mo's concentration is much higher than that in the Raptors, but!

    The concentration time of a game is increased from 20% to 30%, that¡¯s it.

    Odom often contributes various "unexpected" or "surprise" expressions on the court.

    SuperSonics fans watched Odom play, and out of 10 goals, 5 were average, 2-3 made them jump with excitement, but there were also 2-3 that made their own fans go crazy.

    And Artest almost has ¡®I want to usurp the throne¡¯ written on his face, the Puerto Rican mountain with the character of an old bastard, and Jia Dajia who has become a real bastard

    Before the gentle and polite Wesley Persson came to the Sonics, Matt Barnes, the top thorn in the college era, seemed to be the most ordinary person on the Sonics.

    With Zhang Hao here, the Sonics get more attention. The higher the attention, the greater the popularity increase brought by the record. The rest of the Sonics also receive more attention and receive more attention. For most people,  It's a good motivation, and then you play harder it forms a virtuous cycle.

    To form such a cycle, the prerequisite is to win

    ¡­¡­

    On April 16, the SuperSonics challenged the Jazz away from home in Salt Lake City.

    This is the Sonics' 41st away game of the season and the last away game of the season.

    The Jazz are one of the few teams that can beat the Sonics multiple times this season. In the past three games this season, the Sonics have won 1 and lost 2.

    This time, the SuperSonics did not lose again. Zhang Hao scored 50+ points in a single game for the third time this season and the 16th 40+ points in a single game this season. He scored 54 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The SuperSonicsEntered the mvp prediction list.

    As the SuperSonics won the regular season championship, Zhang Hao¡¯s calls for consecutive MVPs immediately surged.

    It is possible that one game will play a decisive role in the MVP competition that has been going on for a whole season.

    MVP is the most popular award prediction, except for this, it is the best defensive player and the best rookie.

    After 82 games, Ben Wallace has secured the DPOY title!

    There is no suspense, averaging 7.9 points, 13.6 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 3 blocks per game. The defensive efficiency is the highest in history since 1976 - 9.1!

    The previous record holder was Olajuwon, with a single-season average defensive efficiency of 8.7.

    Since 1976, only three players have averaged a defensive efficiency of more than 8 in a season, Olajuwon and Mutombo before, and Ben Wallace last season.

    This season, Ben Wallace set a new record in modern basketball - the defensive efficiency exceeded 9!

    ?Best Rookie of the Year¡ªYao Ming is locked in, playing full attendance, averaging 33 minutes per game, scoring 16.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.8 blocks, shooting 53% from the field and 81% from the free throw line.

    This performance is not bad for the No. 1 pick in the 1990s.

    ¡­¡­

    On April 21, the day after the regular season ended, at 10 a.m., the league announced the Best of the Month awards for the last game month and the Best of the Week awards for the last week.

    Best of the Week: Shawn Marion of the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference; Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks in the Western Conference.

    The common characteristic of the two people is that they led the team to a complete victory in the last week.

    Coach of the Month, Eastern Conference, Bulls coach Doc Rivers; Western Conference, Mavericks coach Don Nelson.

    Rookie of the Month: Yao Ming of the Wizards in the Eastern Conference; Boozer of the Clippers in the Western Conference.

    Player of the Month, Eastern Conference, Duncan of the 76ers, the fourth Player of the Month of the season, setting a new NBA historical record; Western Conference Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks!

    Nowitzki won the Player of the Month award by leading his team to win 9 games in April, stabbing his idol in the back!

 Chapter 556 556. Continuous MVP!  (8,000 words, double monthly pass required)

    Since March 30, the Mavericks have not lost a game. The 10-game winning streak ended. In the third game of April, the SuperSonics lost to the Mavericks during the winning streak.

    Nowitzki has been performing very well, and Zhang Hao didn't think there was any problem with winning the Player of the Month award in April.

    But here comes the trouble

    Duncan became the first player in NBA history to win the Best of the Month 4 times in a single season!

    The previous highest record was three times in a single season. To be more precise, before Zhang Hao won the best of the month three times in the 1999-00 season, no one else in NBA history had won the best of the month three times in a single season, because in 2000-  Before the 2001 season, the best of the month and best of the week were not divided into east and west. Zhang Hao set a record by winning the best of the month three times in a single season.

    After dividing the Eastern and Western Conferences, Iverson and Tracy McGrady completed three best-of-the-month awards in a single season.

    Zhang Hao, on the other hand, has won the Best of the Month three times for four consecutive seasons since the 1999-00 season.

    After this season, Zhang Hao¡¯s Best of the Month has reached 15 times, one short of the 16 Best of the Month held by SuperSonics legend Michael Jordan.

    But the record of three best-of-the-month awards in a single season has been broken!

    Duncan won his fourth Player of the Month award this season!  One more time than Zhang Hao¡¯s monthly best times this season!

    ??Look carefully, Duncan has won the Best of the Month 4 times this season, and there is no problem every time. He is the one with the best combination of Eastern team and personal performance.

    This is where the fun of winning the monthly best award comes in. Luck is very important!

    Duncan just got a bargain. Although the overall strength of the Eastern Conference has become stronger this season, the record of the top teams is shockingly poor. There has not been a division first with 54 wins in decades.

    The top teams have declined in strength due to various reasons, but the strength of ordinary strong teams in the division has increased. Such a situation has arisen.

    At this time, Duncan led 7 main players including Iverson and Raheem, and rushed to 50 wins. It is not surprising that he won many awards.

    But originally, after the SuperSonics won the first place in the league, Zhang Hao's calls for consecutive MVPs soared. Now, Duncan has won the best of the month for a record-breaking 4 times, becoming the first in history in this regard, and the suspense of MVP has revived!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Garnett feels bad, very bad.

    He always felt that what the other No. 21 did this season would eventually be vented by someone on him, the No. 21.

    Thinking about it makes me feel miserable

    The sign at the door of Key Arena states that the Sonics will move to a new arena in East Seattle next season, near Lake Washington and the Pacific Northwest Ballet School. This arena will be donated for use by college teams.

    Garnett took a look and saw the news before. Jordan invested 60 million, Howard Schultz invested 110 million, x Sports invested 30 million for the title, and Seattle's local finance and local consortium invested a total of 90 million.  It cost a total of US$290 million to build the largest arena in the NBA for the Sonics.

    In addition, several shareholders of the Sonics also pooled their money to build a small arena for training and games for Development League teams.

    ¡®Don¡¯t let loyalty get you¡¯

    Garnett thought of what Zhang Hao said one year He didn't think Zhang Hao's words were convincing.

    Zhang Hao's departure from the Lakers has nothing to do with "loyalty". Instead, it means "you can be willful if you have strength."

    Therefore, it is more in line with Zhang Hao's behavior to not only consider the interests, but also to stay in a team or just not want to stay anywhere.

    but¡­¡­

    Three more times and I still can¡¯t get past the first round!

    In the past two years, Garnett still wanted to struggle when he met the Sonics in the first round, but this year, he has no intention of struggling at all.

    If the Sonics lose the last game and fall to second place in the Western Conference, even if they play the Mavericks, who have a similar record, Garnett will not be so desperate.

    But playing against the Sonics

    "Hi, Kevin, you're here."

    A familiar voice came, and Garnett turned around to see Zhang Hao, who was carrying a small schoolbag, followed by Ben Wallace and Jason Williams on the left and right.

    It has been many years, and Zhang Hao still has the same configuration next to him.

    Suddenly, Garnett recalled his sophomore year with Marbury and Gugliotta next to him

    Zhang Hao¡¯s left and right guardians were also formed that year.

    But the two people next to Zhang Hao have always been there. The two people next to him, Garnett, have been separated because of the big contract worth 128 million U.S. dollars.

    Seeing that Garnett was silent, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t ask anything.The shooting percentage is very dismal, but when no one except Szczerbiak can score, there is nothing that Garnett can do about throwing 24 times per game.

    In addition to shooting percentage, Garnett's playoff data can be described as explosive.

    Averaging 26 points, 15.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, he averaged only 2.5 turnovers per game. As an insider who averages 5+ assists per game, his assist-to-turnover ratio exceeds 2, which is really strong.

    Under the leadership of Garnett, the Timberwolves also held on tenaciously until the sixth game.

    But even after winning two games, Garnett didn't even have the faintest idea of ??being upset.

    After kneeling for six consecutive games in the first round of the playoffs and meeting the SuperSonics again, Garnett no longer had any expectations for advancing to the playoffs.

    People will always change according to the passage of time and changes around them.

    The mvp awards were not held here, but left for the second round.

    Although they have not advanced to the first round, the Sonics still have confidence in this.

    The fans at the scene were not in a hurry, they just cheered first.

    At 7:58 pm, the referee signaled the two teams to start, and the lights dimmed

    The long-lost scene appeared, and the fans at the scene became completely manic when they saw Zhang Hao¡¯s face on the big screen!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s roar set off the whole audience!

    The two teams started the game, and the SuperSonics sent out Cassell, Brent Barry, Artest, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace in the starting lineup.

    The Timberwolves sent out a starting lineup of Rod Strickland, Kendall Gill, Szczerbiak, Garnett, and Rasu Nesterovich.

    Looking at the opposite superstar with a 98 rating with such a lineup, Zhang Hao has never seen such a miserable superstar.

    Looking at the names, the Timberwolves are still very strong on the outside, but Rod Strickland is 37 years old and Kendall Gill is 35 years old.

    Zhang Hao suddenly had an epiphany - maybe when the madmen and aliens in time and space joined the Timberwolves, Garnett didn't have much expectations.

    ¡° Garnett has to meet a few of those thirty-five-year-old veterans every year and has long been numb. But he didn¡¯t expect that Cassell would reach his peak at the age of 34

    With his voice just now, Zhang Hao could feel the frenzy of his teammates.

    He actually doesn¡¯t dare to yell anymore.

    Originally, after leaving the Lakers, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t like shouting before games.

    After Odom came, he became afraid.

    I remember it was February 22nd, a home game, and Zhang Hao wanted to see if he could scream before the game to make Odom angry.

    As a result, after yelling, Zhang Hao saw Odom tilting his head and looking at the big screen with a silly smile.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not lose the game as the whole team performed well and played 21 minutes with 2 assists and 3 turnovers.

    There were times when the roar was successful. Zhang Hao really didn't believe in fate and just wanted to roar and try. That night, Odom scored the first double-digit assist in his SuperSonics career, 11 assists, but he had too few rebounds.  After getting a triple-double, he got a triple-double later.

    Zhang Hao discovered that this teammate was not only unpredictable in his playing state, but also gave different feedback even when he was cheating.

    But tonight, Zhang Hao just wanted to roar.

    What the roar brought was 35 to 19 in the first quarter, directly entering garbage time

    Some public opinion said that this year's first round series of each group became more and more anxious, which was related to the change of the best-of-five games to the best-of-seven games. Zhang Hao thinks this makes sense. Habits are very important. Teams in the bottom half of the playoffs  There are always many changes. If you make the playoffs this season, you may not make it next season, but the top teams in the first half of the playoffs usually only change every 3-4 years.

    From the perspective of ¡®adaptability¡¯, the teams in the top half are not as strong as the teams in the bottom half who know how to fight hard.

    In the end, thanks to Ben Wallace's first 20-point game in the playoffs in his career, 21 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 4 blocks, the Sonics defeated the Timberwolves 119-90 and advanced to the third seed 4-2.  Second round!

    Tonight, Ben Wallace made 9 of 9 shots from the field. He was in particularly good shape when cutting into the pie, and his second offense was also very stable. His teammates were all trying to find ways to pass the ball to him. He was very efficient, even Ben Wallace could do it.  Use it as the main attack point.

    Unfortunately, Ben Wallace only played 31 minutes tonight. Although he scored 21 points with 9 of 9 and 3 of 5 free throws, he only had 16 rebounds. He finally scored 20 points in a single game, but failed to get it.  Double 20.

    Ben Wallace has 20 rebounds 7 times in the regular season in his career, but only scored 20 points 2 times, and only 1 of them overlapped. In the playoffs, he has 20 rebounds 5 times, and scored 20 for the first time, but rebounded 20 times.  Not on

    When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Hao received a system prompt

    "The hidden mission has been completed, congratulations to the host, the Silver Level Medal: Wolf Roar has been upgraded to Gold Level"

(If Zhang Hao leads the team and does not meet the Timberwolves in the first round and the Timberwolves do not advance to the second round, it will be deemed completed; if Zhang Hao leads the team to the playoffs and the Timberwolves do not advance to the playoffs, it will be deemed completed;  All other cases are considered failures.) (Completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Designated Medal Wolf Roar Gold Upgrade Card.

    Congratulations to the host, the silver level medal Wolf Roar has been upgraded to gold level.  "

    ¡°Wolf Roar (Gold): Players who wear it roar at the camera connected to the big screen before the game. Players participating in this game have high morale and are invincible.

    Wolf's blood is boiling: The chest-beating celebration or roaring celebration after every wonderful shot makes everyone in the game excited. The self-confidence of those who are not strong-willed may be hit, and even teammates may have inferiority complex Gain or loss  The beneficial effect does not matter whether it is friend or foe.  "

    The first round is over, the mission is completed, the medal is upgraded Zhang Hao feels very good, great.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Zhang Hao feels weird about this medal related to Garnett.

    ¡®Is this why Garnett couldn¡¯t get past the first round without the aliens or even with Truth?  His ability to lead the team is also unique. It may not necessarily motivate his teammates, but it may make his opponents even more excited'

    On the other side, after losing the game, his teammates were all scared, but Garnett didn't jump. He took the towel handed by his teammates, wiped it, put it on his shoulders, and left.

    Being the first to walk into the tunnel, he didn¡¯t even give his teammates, opponents, media a chance to react.

    This surprised the teammates.

    Watching Garnett disappear at the entrance of the player tunnel first, the Timberwolves players were very surprised. If they lost the series before, Garnett would definitely be furiousbut this time

    They have an inexplicable feeling - it seems that this will be the last time they see Garnett's back like this.

    ¡­¡±

    After advancing to the second round, Zhang Hao received a progress reminder for this task.

    He still felt a little sad when he looked at this task.

    What was accomplished with the Lakers will now be surpassed.

    I don¡¯t regret anything.

    He can be sure that if he continues to stay in the Lakers, his pure personal business value will definitely be further developed.

    But more, it¡¯s hard to say.

    For example, my mood was unpleasant at the time.

    This is still very important

    Things like how we can better cooperate with Howard Schultz, the big boss who will dominate the fast-drink industry in the future, in Seattle are secondary.

    Zhang Hao looked at the current situation in the first round of the playoffs 'Stern probably didn't expect that just changing the best-of-five games to the best-of-seven games would bring such a big change to the first round'

    ¡­¡­

    The SuperSonics defeated the Timberwolves 4-2 and were actually one of the first teams to advance.

    The only ones who advanced before the SuperSonics were the Lakers, who defeated the Spurs 4-2 on May 4, and the Mavericks, who defeated the Suns 4-2.

    The Bulls led from 3 to 1 and were chased by the Pacers to a 3 to 3 tie; the 76ers dragged the Bucks to the tiebreaker; the Cavaliers were tied by the Celtics; the Wizards relied on Yao Mingji  He scored a new high of 28 points in the post-game, narrowly defeating the Nets 92-89 and dragging the series into a tiebreaker.

    What surprised people the most was that the Trail Blazers, led by the bandits, came from behind 0 to 3 and made a sudden comeback.??, I don¡¯t talk much now, but I am extremely sultry. I always feel that God is the boss and he is the second child, that he is the chosen one who wants to save the world

    ¡®I don¡¯t know what Erguan will be like in the future¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    On May 9, the Kings came to Seattle.

    The second round of the playoffs will begin tonight. The Bulls and 76ers, Mavericks and Lakers will start their first games tonight.

    The SuperSonics will face the Kings tomorrow to start the second round.

    The Kings have had a hard time this season, but the regular season was okay. Webber missed more than 30 games, but they still won 59 games.

    But in the playoffs, they were almost overturned by the Trail Blazers.

    And in the playoffs, Webb's extremely unstable performance turned into poor performance.

    It is really bad, but the data is not bad. In the first round, he averaged 18 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, but he only played 3 games and his shooting percentage was a dismal 41%.

    And on the other side

    "Otherwise, the Kings have accepted it.

    For example, Artest¡¯s second defense, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace¡¯s double defense.

    ??This, in the history of the NBA, it is only the 1995-96 season that Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman were selected for the first defense at the same time. It is even more exaggerated.

    But this is actually not bad. When Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace were at their peak, Artest's talent was overwhelming and he entered the fourth grade. It was time to show his strength.

    Kassel is going too far!

    Cassell is averaging 17.1 points per game this season, the second-highest scorer on the Sonics, and one of only two players averaging more than 15 points per game.

    Averaged 17.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game He turned 33 in November last year!

    In this year's All-Star Game, among the players who were not selected for the All-Star reserve lineup, many people felt that Cassel was the one who least deserved to be selected Of course, this is because Cassel's performance after the All-Star Weekend was better than before the All-Star Weekend.  related.

    For the Kings, they really can't accept it - they are both players in the 1993 class, and Cassel is more than 3 years older than Webber. Why does Cassel look younger than Webber?

 Chapter 558 558. The true posture of the SuperSonics (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket!)

    Weber himself was extremely envious when he saw Cassell.

    Money, he earns much more than Cassel. After his rookie contract, a contract can be worth Cassel's entire career.

    but!

    Cassel won the championship in his rookie year, and he still won the championship as a substitute!

    Now that I have 4 crowns in hand, one more crown will fill up the rings!

    Apart from this, the 33-year-old Cassel seems to have just entered his prime

    Why was Cassel selected for the second team?

    Playing against first-line point guards such as Bibby, Jason Williams, Andre Miller, Snow Cassell can basically beat his opponents this season.

    When meeting Payton, Kidd, Nash, or even Tracy McGrady, who plays point guard, Cassell can play back and forth with each other in terms of offense or organization of offense when one-on-one.

    The second-team defender is equivalent to being among the top five defenders in the regular season this season!

    Taking into account those players who have poor overall performance but are extremely functional and cannot be selected for the All-NBA Team or the All-Defensive Team but are recognized as strong players, Cassell's performance this season is definitely among the top 20 in the league.

    Think about it, when Cassel entered the NBA 10 years ago, he was still an ordinary rookie averaging 9 points and 4 assists per game. He started to win championships. 10 years later, he became the league's top point guard and continued to compete for championships Webb couldn't help but envy him.  !

    ¡­¡­

    This year¡¯s first and second rounds seem to be reversed.

    Initially, after the first round of the playoffs became a best-of-seven game, many people thought that this almost completely blocked the way to defeat the top team in the first round, because before, it was enough to win 3 games, but now you have to win 4 games.

    But the actual situation seems to be different.

    In the era of best-of-five games, it often happens that teams in the top half come up directly and are taken away in one wave.

    Like McGrady said, you can start thinking about the second round early.

    But now, it may give teams in the bottom half of the playoffs a chance to adapt to the intensity of their opponents.

    Of course, in most cases, the teams in the lower half have not adapted to the strength of the teams in the upper half, and are defeated by the teams in the upper half who find an easier way.

    But if, like this year¡¯s Eastern Conference, the first to eighth teams are relatively close in strength, the probability of winning or losing in a best-of-7 game is higher than in a best-of-5 game.

    Coupled with the fact that the first round of this year was a best-of-seven game for the first time this year, there were really 5 situations where the bottom could overcome the top, but in the end none of them happened.

    But in the second round the beating mode is on.

    In the first game between the Bulls and the 76ers, the Bulls were forced out of form by the Pacers. In the first game of the second round, they defeated the 76ers 82-67.

    In the first game between the Mavericks and the Lakers, the Mavericks slaughtered the Lakers 132-110.

    There may be a very large strength gap between the Bulls and the 76ers. This was analyzed by experts before the start of the second round.

    Although many fans of the double No. 1 picks have criticized the experts who made this statement, many of them have been stepped on. People are often said to be unwilling to accept the true situation that they only know.  anger.

    When the 76ers were really beaten by the Bulls in the second round, many people accepted it.

    But the Mavericks beat the Lakers

    Nowitzki made 19 of 33 shots, including 6 of 13 three-pointers, 9 of 17 mid-range shots, and 6 of 7 free throws. He hit a career playoff high of 50 points in a single game, beating Horry, Fox, and  Pierce and Samaki-Walker's wheel-to-wheel defense, the Lakers really have nothing to do.

    In the playoffs, he made 6 three-pointers and 9 mid-range shots in a single game. The last player to perform like this was Zhang Hao!

    In this game, the veteran Lakers players seemed to have really seen the legendary large-scale version of the pure technical stream Ritian!

    Nowitzki's 50 points, coupled with Finley's 36 points, the two scored 86 points together, beating the Lakers to the punch.

    ¡­¡­

    May 10th is the day of the first game of the series between the SuperSonics and Kings.

    Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi played against each other in the playoffs for the second time, and domestic fans were certainly paying close attention.

    Although Wang Zhizhi failed to be selected for the best team, he still won the title of "quasi-best team player" domestically.

    But now domestic fans are so confused, mainly those who are not football stars.

    The Kings are definitely a championship-level team. There is no doubt about this. They almost swept the promotion in the first round and won 59 games in the regular season. And it can be seen that the future prospects of the Kings are far from as good as they looked last season. It is very likely that this season will be the Kings.  The best chance to compete for the championship. Domestic fans hope to see the Kings team currently led by Wang Zhizhi win the championship

    This season¡¯s Kings team is really Wang ZhizhiWith the second pick in the draft, the Nuggets will definitely get the players they want.

    The other 8 lottery picks are the Rockets with the 6th pick, the Raptors with the 7th pick, the Clippers with the 8th pick, the Magic with the 9th pick, the Warriors with the 10th pick, and the 11th pick.  The Knicks, the Jazz with the 12th pick, and the Hornets with the 13th pick.

    ¡­¡­

    The Heat won the No. 1 and No. 4 picks, and several agents who predicted high draft picks were celebrating!

    Miami, South Coast, bustling big city, high exposure

    These are what agents want.

    For example, Henry Thomas, who signed three draft candidates, Dwyane Wade, Kirk Hinrich, and TJ Ford, who were predicted to be likely to be selected in the lottery, called after the draft lottery.  Zhang Hao said how good the three draft picks he signed this time were.

    It¡¯s just that, no matter how excellent it is, it has nothing to do with Zhang Hao.

    It¡¯s impossible to trade Cassell for rookie Wade or Artest for rookie James In the next two or three years, you will accompany the two to practice and watch the two rookies delay each other¡¯s growth because of each other¡¯s competition for the ball?

    Now Zhang Hao has the ability to help young teammates grow, but he must also have a certain degree. For example, like Ginobili, he only needs to be given opportunities at specific moments, while people like Artest and Kirilenko have a fixed training direction  ¡­

    But Zhang Hao can understand Henry Thomas¡¯s excitement. This draft may not be very good in the middle and later stages, but these people who are predicted to be in the lottery are really talented!

    The most curious thing about Zhang Hao now is about the Heat's draft picks - where will James go?

    The Cavaliers will definitely select James with the No. 1 pick, but it¡¯s hard to say for Pat Riley.

    As far as Zhang Hao knows, when high school students play, oilheads will definitely recruit them, but this magic fortune teller is not the kind of person who would bet on rookies from high school students.

 Chapter 559 559. Times have begun to change again (3 updates with 18,000 words, please vote)

    The second round of the 2002-2003 playoffs is in full swing.

    The 8 teams that advanced to the second round were all teams that started with 50 wins, so they are naturally strong.

    But strong middle -handed hands, such things, do not always show strong confrontation.

    Some of them are indeed not strong duels.

    For example, this year's 76ers team was completely beaten by the Bulls and had little power to fight back.

    The Bulls easily held their two home games and went to Philadelphia to play the 76ers with a 2-0 score.

    The series between the Lakers and the Mavericks was really interesting. In the first game of the series, the Lakers were slaughtered by the Mavericks. The Lakers played in such a desperate manner.

    But in G2, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 124-113 in an away game!

    With a climax of 40 to 23 in the final quarter, the Lakers beat the Mavericks hard.

    The g2 between the Nets and Cavaliers is stable. The Nets won 95 to 87 and won both away games. It is not impossible to sweep the promotion.

    Youth is the problem of the Cavaliers. From the lineup and the style of play, the Cavaliers are the ones that are likely to break through the defensive limitations of the Nets team. The main reason is that the Cavaliers have the potential to defend better than the Nets.

    ¡°But the Cavaliers players currently lack game experience and personal strength.

    By May 13th, the SuperSonics and Kings series g2 was also played.

    87 to 96, the Sonics were beaten at home.

    Peja scored 4 three-pointers in the final quarter, and Zhang Hao also followed suit, making 0 of 6 in a single quarter He is stubborn and can still be stubborn at times.

    Then, the SuperSonics were tied by the Kings.

    But the strange thing is that the Sonics lost their home court, but not many people looked down on the Sonics.

    Soon, on May 15th, the SuperSonics came to Sacramento to challenge the Kings away from home, and immediately regained their home court advantage with a score of 99-86.

    The reason why the Sonics didn't disappoint people even if they lost at home is because they actually defended very well in the second game. Peja scored 4 three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the Kings reach a climax in the final quarter.  That¡¯s all.

    By g3, Peja also stalled

    Who makes Peja, Webb, and Wang Zhizhi, the top three players in the Kings' scoring per game, all frontcourt players?

    It happened to hit the muzzle of the Sonics' gun!

    The Kings are good at creating mismatches, playing high and short, fast and slow, and the players in each position are skilled enough and can do a good job.

    By coincidence, the Sonics can switch defenses unlimitedly when facing the Kings inside!

    ¡­¡­

    Time came on May 17th, the SuperSonics challenged the Kings away from home, and G4 came.

    This time, the Kings are basically fighting a last-ditch battle. If they lose this game, from the perspective of the Kings players, if they go to Seattle, they will basically not be able to come back.

    The Kings fought hard!

    In this game, the Kings took a total of 8 rotations, Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Webber, Wang Zhizhi, Bobby Jackson, Jim Jackson, and Hedo Turkoglu.

    The game entered the first half of the fourth quarter. Relying on Peja's outside containment and Weber's inside support, Bobby Jackson and Wang Zhizhi fired continuously from outside the three-point line. At 6 minutes and 11 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Kings led 82 to 82.  71 leads the SuperSonics by 11 points!

    With 5 minutes and 49 seconds left in the game, the Kings were about to tie the score, and it was the Sonics' turn to explode!

    First, Artest opened up the situation with a series of strong attacks, and then Odom took over Artest's sudden second pass to provide support, creating a large number of catch-and-shoot opportunities for Zhang Hao and Cassel in the mid-range on both sides.

    The Kings did a good job of defending against three-pointers and cuts in the second half, but if the mid-range shot is missed, then it is not a defensive problem, it has to rely on prayer

    ??Obviously the Kings are not sincere in their prayers. Zhang Hao scored 4 mid-range shots in the second half of the quarter, and Cassel scored two. The two scored 12 points in the second half of the quarter with mid-range shots!

    Coupled with Artest and Odom¡¯s strong offensive scoring, the SuperSonics scored 22-8 in the second half of the final quarter!

    In the end, the SuperSonics defeated the Kings 93-90, making the score 3-1!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The SuperSonics played with iron and blood, and the Kings became the first team to experience it, and also became the most unlucky one.

    Originally, Adelman's adaptability was not enough. As the first team to deal with the Sonics' style of play, Adelman had no other option but to let his players fight every game.

    ¡°Fighting¡± and ¡°consuming each other¡± are what the Sonics want to achieve.

    The Sonics, with a lot of manpower inside, are not afraid at all.?The loss

    But if it¡¯s the Western Conference, it doesn¡¯t matter

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    At 7:40 pm on May 23, 2003, Mavericks players and SuperSonics players entered the Key Arena court one after another.

    You are only one year younger than Zhang Hao. Would you feel embarrassed to admit that Zhang Hao is your idol?  This kind of thing does not exist with Nowitzki.

    Zhang Hao has serious doubts - this guy is a second-hand dealer!

    Nowitzki directly brought a bag to the scene today. After the players from the two teams entered the venue, Nowitzki, in the astonished eyes of the Sonics players, took out two sets of the Sonics' playoff version of this year's jerseys.  Zhang Hao has 4 pairs of sneakers in playoff colors. Ask Zhang Hao for his autograph.

    It¡¯s not a big deal to ask for an autograph, but to sign before the live game starts and steal the camera, it¡¯s hard for Zhang Hao not to suspect that Nowitzki is ¡®stamping¡¯ these shoes in an effort to get a better price.

    But Zhang Hao has no evidence.

    ¡°Moreover, this is the spokesperson of his own sneaker brand, and he is also a fan so he can only sign it.

    It's the Western Conference Finals again. In the past, SuperSonics fans would be happy for a year or two once they reached the Western Conference Finals. They were a Western Conference Finals team, and reaching the Finals once was a memory of several years. But now, looking at Zhang Hao  The SuperSonics fans swelled At this moment, they seemed to have seen them cross the Western Conference Finals!

    This makes Sonics fans seem to have been infected by fans on the West Coast. It may also be because many Lakers fans have become double fans of the Lakers and SuperSonics because of Zhang Hao in the past two years, which has led Sonics fans astray.  ¡­

    Soon, at 7:58 pm, the two teams' pre-game preparations were over. The game was about to begin. The Mavericks' starting players were about to take the field when the lights dimmed.

    The scattered emotions of the fans at the scene were stirred up at this moment.

    The big screen lit up, and Zhang Hao's face appeared on the big screen.

    Unlike usual, Zhang Hao did not yell directly, but spoke

    ¡°Thekingofthewesternfinalsisback¡­¡­¡±

    Before anyone could react, a familiar roar resounded throughout the audience. The fans cheered crazily regardless of what they were doing!

 Chapter 560 560. Mavericks from a wealthy family (6,000 words please vote)

    ¡®Look at you, you are just a bid-tender¡¯

    It¡¯s not just the SuperSonics fans who are inflated, Zhang Hao is also inflated!

    One thing that Zhang Hao has been worried about and has been trying to restrain finally happened - he became arrogant in the Western Conference Finals.

    There is no way

    "The King of the Western Conference Finals (Silver) triggers, and the exclusive player Zhang Hao will enter the best state in this Western Conference Finals. He can enter a continuous hot state in any designated quarter of the Western Conference Finals (score 15 points in a row to end the game).  The hot state does not affect the normal state)."

    The Western Conference Finals haven¡¯t even started yet, so being so conceited will definitely irritate the opponent and make them play even more violently.

    The state of Odom, the strongest player on the team's bench, is unpredictable. Zhang Hao doesn't know how Zuo Mo will change at once.

    But, there is no way, there is really no way!

    Were last year¡¯s Kings easy to deal with?  That's not the Kings that Webber has plummeted this year, but the Kings that are at their peak and will 100% win the championship as long as they leave the Western Conference.

    But Zhang Hao still beat them.

    Western Conference, this is your own land!

    However, watching Odom start a street dance with Artest who was about to play on the sidelines to send Artest off to the court, Zhang Hao knew that this voice did not scare Odom away.

    The SuperSonics players naturally got excited immediately, and their opponents also got excited.

    "Wolf Roar (Gold) is triggered, and the players participating in this game enter a state of high emotion, regardless of the enemy or friend. The specific effect depends on the personality factors of the players participating in the game"

    The Mavericks players had different reactions to Zhang Hao's roar. Some were excited, such as Finley, who had long been eager to play against Zhang Hao in the playoffs; some were unhappy, Divac and White Chocolate; some felt '  Idols are awesome, such as Nowitzki

    The Mavericks are on the rise. At this time, the overall mood is upward.

    Every player on the Mavericks is eager to win the championship.

    Although the Mavericks felt a lot of pressure when facing the SuperSonics.

    Just looking at Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, the Mavericks players felt tremendous pressure.

    The former is the strongest in the offensive league, and the latter is the strongest in the defensive league. Together with Artest, who can cut, shoot, pass, and control Although he is not proficient in everything, he has a lot of muscles and can do a little bit of everything.

    These three frontcourts are so strong!

    but!

    White Chocolate and Nowitzki, the two core players are all young players, and other players are also eager to win the championship. Facing the Sonics, there is pressure, but more excitement.

    If they can end the Sonics' two consecutive championships, that feeling they will feel happy just thinking about it!

    Furthermore, of the two conference finals teams in the Eastern Conference, one has been struggling for a season and is not as strong as last season, while the other can only be said to have just reached the level of a championship team

    As long as the Sonics end their two consecutive championships, it basically means they have won the championship!

    ¡­¡­

    The Mavericks sent out a starting lineup of White Chocolate, Finley, Adrian Griffin, Nowitzki, and Divac.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Cassell, Brent Barry, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Divac worked very hard, extremely hard, especially hard The jump ball was still lost to Ben Wallace.

    The SuperSonics attack first!

    Cassel received a long pass from the jump ball. Ben Wallace won the jump ball and cut in the middle. Artest went down from the right side. Brent Barry followed Cassel's pass and went along the middle.  Follow up, follow up to the top arc position after Ben Wallace cuts in the middle The fast break cooperates tacitly!

    But the Mavericks really guarded the Sonics' fast break this time!

    Nowitzki did not stand on either side of the midline. When Divac jumped the ball, Nowitzki stood directly on the right side of his own three-second zone.

    Finley and Adrian Griffin also blocked Zhang Hao's pass very well. White Chocolate bypassed Ben Wallace's receiving line in the middle, and Divac turned around and ran back, blocking the follow-up pass at the top arc.  Brent Barry¡­

    The Mavericks¡¯ 5-and-4 defense is very good!

    Artest received the ball and immediately attacked the frame. Nowitzki squatted under the basket in advance. Artest was unable to make a move. He withdrew and passed to Brent Barry, who was receiving the ball. Brent Barry  There was no chance to shoot, and Artest's pass to Brent Barry was slow. The Mavericks had already made defensive adjustments. Divac took back the inside and White Chocolate switched to Brent Barry.

    &?!

    33 to 30, a surprising situation occurred. The Mavericks relied on defense to overtake the SuperSonics by 3 points!

    The good news is that in the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, Zhang Hao scored 8 points and went on an 8-4 run to help the Sonics regain the lead.

    At the end of the half, thanks to Zhang Hao¡¯s 23 points in the half, the SuperSonics entered the second half with a 1-point lead over the Mavericks 38-37!

    ¡­¡­

    A wise man may make a mistake, and the Sonics encountered this situation this time.

    Not only the coaching staff, but no one among the players thought that the Mavericks would have such tactical preparations. Combined with Nelson's historically top on-the-spot adaptability, the current situation is beyond the control of the Sonics!

    They may regain control of the initiative in the next game, because the Sonics are not prepared for such changes that may occur in the Mavericks. After playing one game this time, they will have experience next time.

    But according to this trend, the rhythm of the entire Western Conference Finals may become uncontrollable!

    The depth of the Mavericks' lineup is great, better than the Kings' 8-man rotation. The strongest lineup may not be as good as the Kings, but the depth is really good.

    This allows Nelson, a coach who dares to think, dare to do, and has outstanding ability, to make very good adjustments!

    In the third quarter, Zhang Hao scored 14 points in a single quarter, but still failed to fully drive the team's offense. The team scored 22 points in a single quarter, while the Mavericks scored 23 points in the third quarter.

    After three quarters, the two teams were tied at 60!

    The Sonics now feel like they are reaping the consequences. They are playing at such a pace with the goal of competing for stars, but Nowitzki, Van Exel, and Finley all took turns to play singles and score, and they all performed very well.  , on the contrary, Cassel, Artest and others did not play well and could only rely on Zhang Hao to support them.

    However, everyone else in the game now has different ideas from Zhang Hao.

    Others¡¯ thoughts are that the Sonics can only rely on Zhang Hao to support them.

    And Zhang Hao

    ¡®I actually managed to hold it. I thought I had to kneel down for a game first, like playing G2 against the Kings. In this case System boss, turn on the hot state!'

 Chapter 561 561. What is the King of the Western Conference?  (6000 words please vote)

    The course of the game was unexpected, and Zhang Hao did not expect it to end like this.

    He was not impatient.

    Such a situation will definitely happen. Sooner or later, after fighting for so many years, I will not be impatient just because of this accident.

    If you really lose at g1, then you lose.

    Now, the stability of mentality, the stability of playing style, the stability of everything are the most important.

    However, he still underestimated how powerful the ¡®optimal state¡¯ that can only be found in theory is!

    In the first three quarters, the Sonics took 59 shots. These 59 shots refer to successful shots and do not include fouls and free throws. Of course, even if a three-pointer is scored and 3 points are scored, it is only one shot.

    Scored 60 points in 59 shots. This efficiency is appallingly low!

    With 23 of 59 shots, including 4 of 12 three-pointers, and 10 of 13 free throws, the Sonics scored 60 points and shot 38%

    This efficiency is not to mention the whole team, even if one player achieves this efficiency, the higher the data, the greater the hindrance to the team!

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s shooting performance in the first three quarters was 14 of 27, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws, for 37 points in the three quarters!

    Zhang Hao still had no specific concept before, after all, he only used it once last season.

    Now he finally knows that with this medal, the stronger he becomes, the more terrifying he will become in the Western Conference Finals!

    ¡®The King of Western Jue, this is the king!  ¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    Do the ultrasound speed, open up a new era!

    The final quarter of the game was about to begin, and the Mavericks sent out a combination of Van Exel, Laga Bell, Adrian Griffin, Edondo Najera, and Divac.

    After playing the first three quarters, the confidence of the Mavericks players is getting higher and higher!

    They can feel that they are gradually taking control of the initiative.

    Not to mention the Mavericks, the fans and commentators in front of the TV all discovered this situation. Even the SuperSonics fans at the scene had to admit that the rhythm was gradually controlled by the Mavericks.

    They didn¡¯t expect this at all, and the Sonics didn¡¯t have enough countermeasures.

    Of course, not responding makes Zhang Hao more clear-cut, otherwise even if he is in good condition, he will still be in trouble.

    But this exposed a problem with the Sonics' iron-blooded style of play - success depends on hard power, and failure may also be due to hard power.

    The Sonics players now feel that the situation tonight is out of control.

    It is actually very different from the Kings relying on their stars to win a game in the second round of G2. The Mavericks relied on defense to make their stars perform better than the overall performance of the Sonics stars!

    Old Nelson¡¯s brains and courage were all reflected in this game.

    It¡¯s really awesome!

    The SuperSonics sent out a combination of Arroyo, Ginobili, Artest, Kirilenko, and Zhang Hao, one big and four small, to take the lead first, and then give it to Ben Wallace, Cassel, O  Dom creates breaks.

    Fox Sports commentator Wilkins said upon seeing this: "Just like when they played the Kings, the Sonics still remained calm and were not affected by their opponents. This is very important for the current style of play of the Sonics"

    The Sonics' style of play is very simple, so simple that it doesn't require too much speculation. Even fans who can't understand the situation can understand the current situation of the Sonics by listening to the simplest analysis.

    As Wilkins said, the Sonics were not greatly affected by the opponent's performance.

    There is definitely an impact, but it is far from what the Sonics players and coaching staff can bear.

    The success in the second round and Zhang Hao¡¯s crazy performance in the Western Conference Finals are all sources of confidence.

    The Sonics now expect the Mavericks' defensive status to be affected as the game progresses.

    Yes, the Sonics are expecting the Mavericks to perform poorly, and it is a very reasonable expectation

    The final quarter of the game begins, and the Sonics attack first.

    Come up, Zhang Hao is like an iron.

    The wave is a bit too much, and the hot feeling is not how it is played.

    But it¡¯s not important, just keep on guarding, this is just an experiment.

    The fiery feeling effect of the ¡®King of the Western Conference Finals¡¯ in a single quarter will not be affected by the strike, but will only be affected by the cumulative score. Zhang Hao is calculating this opportunity to grasp it well.

    The best case scenario is that in the final quarter, if Zhang alone scores 20 points and the opponent's team scores less than 20 points, then they win.

    But the Mavericks¡¯ first attack in the final quarter didn¡¯t look like the score would be particularly low. Van Exel??I made an emergency stop in the left top corner and took a mid-range shot

    It seems like a waste, but in fact, Zhang Hao's defensive judgment was extremely good. He turned around and made a sudden stop jumper at this point. The Mavericks did not have Edondo Najera, Laga Bell, or Adrian Gerard.  RiffenDivac is in the paint and can't make up for it!

    Zhang Hao made the best shot and made a jumper from the free throw line!

    54 points, starting from the last 2+1, scoring 3 goals in a row, 'Kobe time' triggered!

    81 to 75, the SuperSonics' lead expanded to 6 points!

    The Mavericks players are really going crazy, everything is so sudden.

    Just a few minutes, and suddenly, they collapsed!

    But regardless of their offense and defense, they were no different from the previous two and a half quarters. They defended the Sonics very well as a whole, and their offense was not too bad. They just didn't score in two rounds.

    Then we fell behind by 6 points!

    I can¡¯t react at all!

    Even, I didn¡¯t react after that

    At 7 minutes and 11 seconds, Finley's single point shot, Divac hit a layup, 77 to 81, the Mavericks narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

    Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao hit the defense with a back-up jump shot.

    At 7 minutes and 47 seconds, White Chocolate caught the ball from the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer.

    At 8 minutes and 06 seconds, Zhang Hao moved to receive Odom's pass and hit a three-pointer from the sideline.

    86 to 80, with less than 4 minutes left in the game, the SuperSonics still lead by 6 points!

    A 6-point difference is really not much for the Mavericks. Look at what kind of magical score they scored against the Lakers in the second round.

    But the Kings offense is no worse than the Mavericks. When the Kings faced the SuperSonics, they were just as miserable.

    It¡¯s the Mavericks¡¯ offense again. This time, Finley was flanked in singles and missed the shot.

    Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound and advanced quickly, and the fans at the scene started cheering crazily!

    The Mavericks players are a bit confused, there are still more than 3 minutes left in the game!  Although the point difference is down to 6 points, the Mavericks don't have no chance, right?

    They also have the so-called "pure technical skills + large version of Ritian", which is likely to rise. The Lakers felt it in the second round.

    But the fans at the scene seemed to have already won No, they were more excited than winning the game!

    At this time, Zhang Hao quickly advanced to the outside of the top arc, and regardless of Divac, he took a three-pointer

    Zhang Hao was knocked over and the referee's whistle sounded. Not only that, the ball he threw went into the basket!

    Divac was the first to react, but still failed to stop it. Not only did he fail to stop it, he also committed a foul!

    62 points!  Zhang Hao scored 62 points, and he still needs to be punished!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 562 562. Understand how the king is made (6000 words please vote)

    Jordan looked at Zhang Hao walking to the free throw line, his neck stretched forward, his eyes widened!

    25 points in the final quarter!  He scored 37 points in the first three quarters and scored 25 points in more than 8 minutes in the final quarter, which is 62 points in a single game!

    And there are additional penalties!

    To be precise, Zhang Hao started at the 5th and a half minutes of the last quarter. Until now, in more than 3 minutes, he has taken 7 quick shots and made all of them. One of the three three-pointers was a 3+1 plus penalty.  Free throws, two 2+1s, plus two two-pointers, scored 19 points in more than 3 minutes, directly beating the Mavericks!

    The Mavericks didn¡¯t do anything wrong, they did everything to the extreme. They were already sure of victory, but Zhang Hao snatched the victory away!

    Amid the crazy calls of ¡®mvp¡¯ at the scene, Zhang Hao also hit the extra penalty!

    The score was 90 to 80, with the SuperSonics leading the Mavericks by 10 points!

    The Mavericks called a timeout!

    With 23 of 39 shots, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 12 of 13 free throws, Zhang Hao scored 63 points!

    The last time a player scored 60+ points in a single game in the playoffs was in the 1985-1986 playoffs. The 23-year-old Jordan faced the Celtics in the playoffs that year. Although he lost, he became  Besides Elgin Baylor, he was the second player to score 60+ points in a single game in the playoffs, and broke Elgin Baylor's 61 points in a single game with 63 points.

    Now, this record has been tied by Zhang Hao!

    The 20-second pause ended quickly, and Zhang Hao did not take a break.

    63 points, with more than 3 minutes left, of course it is impossible to rest!

    In the last 3 minutes or so, Zhang Hao played more aggressively offensively and threw 4 more times in 3 minutes I wanted to throw more, but the Mavericks learned that Zhang Hao scored 63 points to tie the NBA historical record, even if it was  His fan brother Germany Ritian also had a crazy mentality.

    In 4 attacks, 3 of them were successful and 1 was scored. Once was fouled and both free throws were scored.

    The Mavericks have no intention of attacking anymore and are frantically attacking Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao can throw these 4 times, he has tried his best!

    In the end, as Zhang Hao missed a three-pointer from the center line, the final whistle sounded!

    The entire Key Arena has gone completely crazy, and the entire arena is partying!

    Only Zhang Hao scores for the SuperSonics. Others are looking for Zhang Hao even if they grab offensive rebounds, and they don't hesitate to make mistakes.

    But even if the Mavericks were like this, they only scored 2 points in more than 3 minutes. On the one hand, the Sonics were fully defensive and trying to create opportunities for Zhang Hao to counterattack. On the other hand, the Mavericks themselves had a broken mentality.

    In this game, everyone else¡¯s shooting percentage was over 30%. Van Exel, Ben Wallace, and Nowitzki all shot below 44%.

    Ben Wallace only made 3 of 7 shots.

    As a result, Zhang Hao made 24 of 42 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, plus 14 of 15 free throws, soaring 67 points!

    Under the leadership of Zhang Hao, the SuperSonics defeated the Mavericks 94-82 and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals!

    When the TV commentators shouted that the Sonics had won a big victory, it felt like it was the other day.

    You know, five minutes into the fourth quarter, the TV commentators were still saying that the Mavericks had taken the initiative and that the Mavericks would seal the victory after the official timeout.

    But the result was that the Sonics beat the Mavericks!

    In less than 7 minutes of the last quarter, Zhang Hao made 8 of 10 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, soaring 24 points!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????: 6 points scored in the first 5 minutes 30 points in a single quarter!

    Zhang Hao set a new NBA historical record and became the first player to score 30+ points in a single quarter in the playoffs!

    With 30 points in the final quarter, Zhang Hao surpassed Jordan and set a new playoff single-game scoring record - 67 points!

    The moment the final whistle sounded, the media immediately rushed into the stadium. Before that, there was some commotion inside and outside the Key Stadium. Unknown to the stadium, all nearby reporters who had not had the opportunity to enter the stadium for interviews and filming rushed in.  A fierce conflict with the arrangement

    Those are not important. On the court side, Zhang Hao was listening to the reporters¡¯ chirping questions and couldn¡¯t hear clearly at all. These people were too excited.

    Zhang Hao himself was also excited, but the most exciting moment was when he tied with Jordan with more than 3 minutes left. At that time, thinking that there were still more than 3 minutes to set a new record, he was so excited that he was boiling.

    Now, it¡¯s great, but 3 points behind

    On the other side, the Mavericks players, Nowitzki was completely shrouded in Buddha light

    Now that Divac meets Zhang Hao, he will still fight to the end.

    But after losing, he didn¡¯t feel too much resentment. Looking at Zhang Hao with 67 points he felt that being a bargaining chip in Zhang Hao¡¯s trade was not a shameful thing, but rather very honorable!

    &nbspIn fact, the Mavericks had opportunities every game, but they failed to seize them. In G4, even after the official timeout in the second quarter, there was an avalanche

    This is actually not to blame Nowitzki alone. The Mavericks team is becoming less and less confident as the team plays. In the situation of G1, when the morale was at its highest and the fighting spirit was at its highest, the league's number one man was lazy and cut him off  But as a leader, Nowitzki cannot escape the blame, and that's no problem.

    After 4 games, Nowitzki averaged 18.3 points per game, 37% shooting rate, and 31% three-point shooting rate. It was indeed bad enough. The more he played, the more he fell down. Among them, Odom and Zhang Hao gave Nowitzki  Continuing restrictions, increasing restrictions, are also important.

    In g2 and g3, the SuperSonics' performance was very interesting.

    In both games, only two Sonics players scored in double figures. Zhang Hao scored more than 20 points, Artest and Cassell each scored in double figures once. The rest of the scores were scattered. The team focused on defense.  There are opportunities to throw decisively most of the throws fail, but on the basis of good defense, it is enough.

    In g4, Zhang Hao scored the highest score for the Sonics with 25 points. Seven players on the team scored in double figures and overturned the Mavericks, who had no defensive motivation at the beginning of the second quarter.

    Throughout the Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao averaged 37.75 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 4 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, undoubtedly the best in the series.

    Second best performance Ben Wallace!

    Averaging 6.5 points, 19.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.5 blocks per game, averaging 20 rebounds per game just shy of 2 rebounds, 20+ rebounds twice in 4 games, becoming the most solid backing behind Zhang Hao.

    ¡­¡­

    On May 31, the Bulls narrowly defeated the Nets 104-101 at home and dragged the Eastern Conference Finals into G6.

    No one expected that G1 could see that the Bulls were not as strong as the Nets. As a result, the Bulls faced the Nets and lasted longer than the Mavericks faced the SuperSonics!

    This year¡¯s finals are expected to be played earlier than last year. Some experts ridiculed that the league¡¯s extension of the length of the playoffs has made it lonely.

    At this time, calls for ¡®no-handcheak¡¯ began to appear again.

    Although being able to defend can also restrict Zhang Hao, for Zhang Hao, there seems to be no big difference between having this restriction and not having it

    On June 2, the Nets returned home to face the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals G6.

    In this game, people witnessed history!

    After the Bulls trailed by 11 points 13-24 in the first quarter, Kobe, who took 7 shots in the first quarter, took 40 crazy shots in the next three quarters, 47 shots in a single game, breaking Jordan's historical record of 45 shots in a single game in the playoffs!

    Kobe made only 17 of 47 shots. Although he scored 51 points, which set a new personal playoff scoring high in a single game. He previously scored 50 points in a single game as a sophomore. Unfortunately, the Bulls only scored 81 points.

    In the end, the Nets steadily defeated the Bulls 95-81, beating the Bulls 4-2 to advance to the finals and meet the SuperSonics led by former Nets rookie Zhang Hao!

 Chapter 547 547. The desperate era of centers (6000 words please vote)

    On January 26, 2003, the SuperSonics narrowly defeated the Spurs 106-98 at home, winning their 37th victory of the season and improving their record to 37 wins and 7 losses.

    Thanks to a 23-game winning streak at the beginning, they later posted a record of 14 wins and 7 losses. With only a 67% winning rate in 6 weeks, the Sonics still ranked first in the league.

    In this game against the Spurs, Zhang Hao's performance continued to be efficient!

    Arenas scored 37 points and 10 assists tonight. With such an explosive performance, the SuperSonics dominated the Spurs for almost the whole game. Except for Ben Wallace who led the team to hold the lower limit on the defensive end, Jason -  Williams and Lightning Evans took turns to protect the rebounds More importantly, Zhang Hao's brutal performance of 42 points on 16 of 26 shots.

    No matter how well Arenas plays, or how well he leads Richard Jefferson, David Robinson, Steve Smith, Malik Rose, etc., the Sonics will not panic.

    Because Zhang Hao plays better!

    No matter how hard the Spurs rush, the pressure is still on the Spurs.

    In the beginning, the Spurs played well and forced Zhang Hao into his prime.

    When we hit the back end, the Spurs didn¡¯t dare to perform poorly, otherwise they would be left behind by Zhang Hao and the Sonics

    In the end, the SuperSonics seemed to be being closely chased, but in fact, they relied on Zhang Hao to steadily win with 40+ points in a single game for the 10th time this season.

    But not many people cared about these after the game.

    After the game, what people cared about was Bowen chasing Reggie Evans

    Usually, Bowen is chased and beaten by others, but now it is Bowen chasing and beating others. The fans feel that their world view has been refreshed.

    The most incredible thing is that Bowen actually dared to chase a Sonics player!

    And the Sonics players, in the end, just stood in front of Bowen and did not fight back!

    The reason is, it¡¯s not that someone pulled out a gun No, it should be said that someone had a gun drawn.

    According to the video footage at the time, the Sonics players were stunned at first. It might be the first time in so many years that someone was chasing one of their players. Later, when the Sonics players wanted to help, a replay was played on the big screen.  ¡­

    With 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the game, Bowen switched defense to Reggie Evans and pushed with Thunder Evans. During the push, Reggie Evans reached out and pulled.  Bowen's crotch.

    Judging from the replay, Bowen cursed at that time, covered his crotch, took two steps back, and then chased Reggie Evans like crazy.

    Reggie Evans is also interesting. He is actually about the same height as Bowen and weighs a full 20 kilograms, but he has to play tricks. When he was chased, he knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't fight back and received several punches

    That night, the league made a penalty. Reggie Evans was given an additional technical foul. In addition to the regular fine for a technical foul, he was fined an additional $500 for obscene conduct.

    Bowen was charged with a technical foul because he was chasing his opponent. After the game, he was given an additional technical foul and was suspended for 1 game.

    Finally I saw Bowen was suspended!

    Reggie Evans¡¯s operation made him famous in one battle!

    In the previous 40 games, Reggie Evans played 19 times, averaging 12 minutes per game, scoring 2.3 points and 3.9 rebounds. His rebounding efficiency was not bad, more than 10 rebounds every 36 minutes, which is very good, but in  The Sonics are basically the one that gets the least attention and don't play many games.

    In comparison, Chris Anderson, who has an eye-catching appearance, a more violent style of play, and a more outgoing personality, is more popular among fans.

    The first of the new generation of SuperSonics players to have a fan base is not Artest, nor Parker, Kirilenko, or Chandler, but Chris Anderson.

    But this time, Reggie Evans is out of the spotlight.

    In the past, it was Bowen who hurt his opponent and looked innocent when he was beaten It didn't matter whether he was innocent or not. Anyway, he hurt his opponent and caused his opponent to be suspended for beating him.

    "Evil people have their own trials and tribulations. Reggie Evans' extremely harmful and insulting "gun draw" operation made Bowen feel the most extreme danger in the world!

    Before, the fans were thinking about beating Bowen to death, trying to step in the opposite directionwhat the hell.

    But those operations, either being suspended or becoming Bowen's second best, are not good operations.

    But now it¡¯s different. Reggie Evans has provided each team with a brand new way of solving problems!

    Since Bowen is despicable and wretched, wouldn¡¯t it be enough to act even more despicable and wretched than Bowen?

    There is no need to hurt him. Wouldn¡¯t that be putting yourself on the same level as him?

    Just find the best player in the teamBut fortunately, the first goal of "The Legend Is Still Alive" has been secured.

    After Zhang Hao led the team to defeat the Lakers with his fourth triple-double of the season, the SuperSonics record became 38 wins and 8 losses, two games ahead of the 36 wins and 10 losses Lakers, and two games ahead of the Mavericks  ¡­

    There are two games left before the All-Star weekend. If they win one more game, the Sonics will lock in the half-season championship in advance.

    At 8 pm on January 31st, the SuperSonics came to the Staples Center again to challenge the Clippers back-to-back away from home.

    Back-to-back, even if they didn¡¯t change cities, and even if the Sonics had a young lineup, the impact would still be huge.

    Yesterday, the Lakers failed to score 100 points against the Sonics again, but tonight the Clippers did it.

    Relying on Francis¡¯s 12th triple-double of the season with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, Boozer¡¯s 15 points and 7 rebounds, and Maggette¡¯s 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists the Clippers scored 101 points!

    This is definitely a great performance. Not to mention anything else, the Sonics' defense is really strong.

    The Sonics' defensive statistics are not the best in the league, but they have allowed more than 100 points in a single game, which is the lowest in the league!

    The Sonics' defensive end was affected by physical strength, and so was the offensive end. Only three players scored in double figures tonight. Among the main scorers, no one scored in double figures except Zhang Hao. Apart from Zhang Hao, only Ben Wallace scored in the starting lineup.  12 points.

    The highest scorer from the bench was Manu Ginobili, who made 8 of 12 shots tonight and scored 19 points.

    Apart from the two of them, the only Sonics player left with Zhang Hao scored in double figures.

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s double figures are a bit much

    Zhang Hao made 16 of 25 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, plus 16 of 18 free throws. He scored 53 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block in a single game, helping the Sonics narrowly beat the Clippers 109-101!

    When the prompt to complete the first goal of the mission "The Legend Still Remains" came, Zhang Hao felt that it was not easy!  Starting with 23 wins and 0 losses, it is so difficult to defend the championship at the halfway stage.

    But we still held on!

    Defeating the Clippers, the SuperSonics won their 39th victory of the season, locking in the half-season championship one game ahead of schedule!

    ¡°The legend remains: the Legend Builder series of missions.

    Goal 1: Zhang Hao needs to lead the team to maintain the league's first position before entering the All-Star Weekend.  (completed)

    Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 bronze draw.

    The remaining number of draws (opportunities): Gold 0 (0), Silver 2 (3), Bronze 2 (3).

    The current record of Zhang Hao's SuperSonics team is 39 wins and 8 losses, and the record in the past 24 games is 16 wins and 8 losses. The evaluation is - an excellent team.

    Based on the actual situation of Zhang Hao¡¯s team, the next mission goal has been determined.

    Goal 2: At the end of the 2002-2003 regular season, Zhang Hao needs to lead the SuperSonics to a higher ranking than his old team, the Lakers.

    Rewards will be determined based on actual completion status.  "

    'Goal 1 is actually not difficult. A 23-0 start has basically locked up the half-season championship. As long as the rest is not too bad, like our current record of 16 wins and 8 losses, which is a decent record for a strong team, it will be enough.  To be able to hold on to first place in the league when the Lakers and Mavericks performed so brutally

    In fact, during this period, although the Lakers' record is 20 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks are 21 wins and 4 losses, and we are 16 wins and 8 losses, the gap is actually not as big as the record seems.

    Our previous 23 consecutive victories did not rely solely on me and Ben. The whole team was working hard and all members were exhausted. It is normal for our overall performance to be weaker than theirs after the winning streak ended. We have pushed ourselves hard in order to win consecutively.  Too cruel.

    In total, we just used our efforts at different stages, which also has something to do with the different situations our three teams are in

    Goal 2 does not seem to be very demanding, but with the current situation in the Western Conference, if the ranking at the end of the regular season is higher than that of the Lakers, then it must be at least second in the Western Conference or even second in the league. It is also possible to be first in the Western Conference or first in the league.  of¡­¡­'

    ??Personally, after defeating the Clippers, Zhang Hao is analyzing what will happen next this season.

    The whole Sonics team breathed a sigh of relief.

    At least we won the half-distance championship!

    Unlike Zhang Hao, who has always been calm, his teammates are under a lot of pressure in the middle of the season, otherwise they wouldn't be led by Artest to rap all day long, serious people can do that.

    It¡¯s just that, seeing Zhang Hao so calm and Ben Wallace so cold and arrogant, the teammates felt confident.

    The 23-game winning streak at the start of the season has had a lot of impact on the young players of the Sonics.

    The overall impact is positive. It is definitely a very good thing to win 23 consecutive games.

    This is definitely a long winning streak that 99.99% of players can¡¯t even hope for in their careers. It is a good accumulation of confidence for this group of young players.

    They can use various methods to relieve the pressure caused by the decline in record in the middle of the season, which is also related to this.

    But in fact, their SuperSonics team is theoretically a team with a 70% winning rate this season. Relying on Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, they have a minimum strength of 55 wins and a team that has hope of hitting 60 wins.

    The pressure brought by the best start in history is certainly not small.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of Jordan¡¯s retirement, the SuperSonics management and coaching staff decided to sign more young players in order to capitalize on the momentum of these young players.

    This choice naturally faces risks and there are many uncontrollable factors.

    Fortunately, no matter how unexpected the situation was at the beginning of the season, now, they have locked in the half-season championship!

    ¡­¡­

    February 1st, a new month has arrived.

    The league announced the best of the month awards for the third competition month.

    In the Eastern Conference, there were three different players of the month in three months. In January, Jermaine O'Neal averaged 29.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, leading the Pacers to a record of 10 wins and 5 losses.  Player of the Month Award.

    In the West, after Zhang Hao won the Player of the Month award for two consecutive months in November and December, in January, he finally made a substitution.

    Yesterday, Nowitzki led the Mavericks to defeat the Lakers 108-101, handing the Lakers their 11th loss of the season. The Lakers' record became 37 wins and 11 losses. The Mavericks, who also had 37 wins and 11 losses, relied on the Lakers.  With the team's head-to-head advantage, Nowitzki returned to second place in the Western Conference. Nowitzki also relied on his outstanding personal performance in January coupled with the team's record to win the Player of the Month Award for the second month of his career.

    Coach of the Month: In the Eastern Conference, Magic coach Doc Rivers won the Coach of the Month award; in the Western Conference, Lakers coach Rick Carlisle won the Coach of the Month award.

    Rookie of the Month, Eastern Conference, Yao Ming has three consecutive championships, averaging 16+8+1+2 per game. Just like Gasol in the previous session, no one can compare with Yao Ming in the 2002 session.

    The West is lively, with Boozer andbsp;The first half of the season is over and the NBA version of the 'winter break' has entered. The major media are discussing the performance of each team and the performance of the major stars in the first half of the season, and then looking at the second half of the season.

    Sports fans have also focused their enthusiasm on the NBA under the guidance of the media.

    In North America, since the Super Bowl has ended on January 26, fans have refocused their attention from the NFL playoffs to the NBA after two consecutive games in the Remy Martin Twin Towers.

    And each team, during the All-Star Weekend, also has time to make adjustments or try to make adjustments.

    Some teams may have been hesitating and brewing for more than a week, and then the ¡®winter break¡¯ has just passed.

    Some teams are very decisive

    On the morning of February 3, 2003, the Bulls and Magic officially announced that the two teams had completed the transaction!

    The content of the transaction is very interesting and has nothing to do with the players.

    The Bulls sent Larry Brown, $1.5 million in annual salary gap compensation for this season, and acquired Doc Rivers and a 2004 second-round draft pick from the Magic!

    When the Bulls and Magic officially announced the trade, other strong teams were shocked!

    The most unlikely but definitely frightening scenario is that the Magic are out of their minds again. Instead of Kwame Brown, they trade Kwame Brown for Malone and help free up salary space for the Bulls.

    McGrady, Kobe, Kwame Brown, the East will be dark in the next ten years

    But it turns out that the content of the transaction is even more incredible than the most incredible situation people expected!

    The two teams actually exchanged their head coaches!

    The Magic¡¯s dissatisfaction with Doc Rivers is nothing new. Doc Rivers is better at ¡®coaching¡¯ than developing players or building a system.

    But for the Bulls, Plan B and Malone had a split. They had been in trouble for half a season. After Kobe scored 80 points, he publicly stated that Malone should be traded.

    As a result, after half a season of turmoil, the Bulls sent Larry Brown away to ease the conflicts within the team The operation was very charming!

 Chapter 549 549. I like playing ball with the magician (5500 words please vote)

    Atlanta is a big city with strong spending power.

    After Phoenix played its last game before the All-Star Weekend, the next day, on the morning of February 3, Zhang Hao took Hu Weidong, Cassell, Ben Wallace, Jason Williams, Artest  The special men came to Atlanta and began business activities.

    Currently, Hu Weidong, Artest, Jason Williams and others are promoting the No.24 series.

    Zhang Hao and Daben¡¯s sneakers have sold very well this year, although other sneaker brands are crowding out x sports, including Nike, which cooperates with x sports.

    But it still can¡¯t stop x sports¡¯s sales of sneakers from 2002 to 2003 to exceed 100 million.

    Although this is the No. 24 series, et series, truth series, Big Ben series, Silver Horn King series, etc., it can ensure that the annual sales exceed 100 million, but this is already an excellent achievement.

    After all, it was in the summer of 2000 that x Sports officially launched its first sneakers.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that even if the annual sales exceed 100 million US dollars, it is difficult to make a profit. The main profit of x sports now comes from the high-tech insole technology that is always one step ahead of the others and the global endorsement fees from Zhang Hao¡¯s endorsement of Nike.

    Sales of sneakers have hit a new high, and advertising investment has almost used up all the profits.

    But this is only in Europe and America.

    Domestically, it has started to make profits a long time ago, even before it started to launch self-produced sneakers.

    The domestic market is a solid backing for x Sports to conquer cities around the world.

    ¡­¡­

    After the day's business activities, back at the hotel, Zhang Hao and others learned about the deal between the Bulls and the Magic.

    "The Bulls management reallyhas ideas!" Zhang Hao did not expect that the Bulls would solve the problem from this angle.

    Jason Williams responded: "Many teams offered Malone. The Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs all wanted Malone, but the Bulls rejected it. Sure enough, they wanted to try to ease the conflict and sustain this season.  "

    As Jason Williams said, the Bulls' operation cannot be said to solve the problem. Instead, this operation shows that the Bulls do not intend to solve the problem of internal strife among the three superstars.

    The conflict between the three is almost irreconcilable, but Malone's contract will end after this season. Malone still averages 19.6 points, 8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season. He has played in 48 games, has strong offense and excellent passing.  Defense on the line¡­

    Zhang Hao said: "It seems that they want to delay this season, temporarily cover up the conflicts, and rush for another year. In fact, this is the most correct approach. Malone is not the future of the Bulls, and he should make good use of his value now.  Rather than creating a lose-lose situation.¡±

    Jason Williams said: "I just didn't expect them to find a breakthrough in this direction. I heard that Bryant's agent recommended Phil Jackson to coach again."

    Zhang Hao responded: "Rivers also has his advantages. He is very good at handling interpersonal problems within the team and is good at empathizing with ideals"

    The NBA has some people with distinctive characteristics. In terms of management and coaching staff, Pistons general manager Joe Dumars is practical, SuperSonics general manager Larry Harris is prudent, and the Rockets and Clippers owners  His stinginess, former Bulls coach Larry Brown¡¯s bad mouth, Sonics owner Howard Schultz¡¯s coffee, Sonics owner Michael Jordan is always accompanied by a Cuban model to help cut cigars and the former  Magic coach Doc Rivers' ability to draw a pie.

    These are the characteristics that fans can think of immediately when they mention them.

    ¡­¡­

    ??This year¡¯s trade deadline started with two head coaches exchanging clubs, which is very interesting.

    Sports should be more serious, but professional sports should not be so serious.

    This development is unreasonable, but it makes the fans feel comfortable.

    Before the start of the All-Star Weekend, fans saw various off-field activities of the stars.

    For example, the lawsuit between Kobe and Adidas started. Adidas sued Kobe for helping to promote competing products. Kobe said that he had not confiscated the endorsement fee and could wear whatever he liked. Not only did he have to wear the No. 24 generation, but he would also wear it in the next All-Star Game.  Nike sneakers, change one pair every session.

    It¡¯s very confusing, but Kobe¡¯s operation actually attracted a wave of fans.

    In the past two years, things that have happened around Kobe have become more and more outrageous. Not long ago, he was fooled by a magician and had to pay 2 million to complete an out-of-court settlement but his popularity is constantly rising.

    On February 6th, the All-Star Weekend officially begins.

    The rookie competition was very lively. Although the first and second years were mixed, Arenas¡¯s personality wasThey said they regretted giving big contracts to Alvin Williams and Antonio Davis in 2001. They felt that these two players were now junk contract players and needed first-round picks and talented young players to be able to send them out.

    "Two years ago, in the summer of 2001, the Raptors management shouted that they were going to win the championship next, leaving behind a strong championship lineup.

    "The role players definitely shouldn't be the ones taking the blame. They can only do so much. The dual-core is not good enough, and it's just not as good as the previous year.

    Now, Carter will be out for two months, Odom has been sent away, Antonio Davis and Alvin Williams have been sent away with more than three years left on their contracts with a combined average of $19 million per year, and the Raptors still have  There are 34 games left and the current record of 23 wins and 25 losses can basically be a happy one.

    Parker and Gooden, two talents with starting potential, are not wanted by the RaptorsCurrently, both of them are regarded as talents with starting potential.

    The starting potential is not low. In the draft, the top three picks aside, the fourth and fifth picks. If you can choose a player who can be a starter for more than 5 years in his career, it will not be a loss. If he can be selected as an All-Star or two during this period,  , that¡¯s a profit.

    Like Ginobili, in the original time and space, his 16-year NBA career was actually only selected to the All-Star twice.

    But obviously, the Raptors look down on young players like Parker and Gooden, and they want talents like Carter.

    This may be related to the fact that they sent Odom away.

    People are very interesting creatures. When they throw away 50 yuan, whether they throw it away voluntarily or because they have no choice but to throw it away, they will look down on 10 or 20 yuan for a long time.  , and I won¡¯t feel too excited when I see something worth 50 yuan. I feel that only something worth 100 yuan is worthy of attention.

    ¡­¡­

    What's going on with the Raptors doesn't matter now, because the Raptors are basically done with this season - when Carter is injured and won't be able to return until mid-to-late March, it's just to clean up everything.'  obstacles', and at the same time took the opportunity to unfreeze the salary space that was originally locked until 2006.

    The future of the Raptors can be seen at a glance, and people don't care so much about what happens next. So after discussing the "unkindness" of the Raptors management, people turned their attention to the other three teams.  superior.

    The Magic introduced Larry Brown.

    No matter what the process is, Larry Brown has become a "good coach with excellent ability to cultivate talents."

    He was the one who brought out the 76ers' double No. 1 pick and the Bulls' Plan B combination. Going back further, he was the one who unearthed the Pacers' double pick Davis, and he was the one who brought up David Robinson.

    Now that the Magic have Kwame Brown and Gooden, they have also brought veteran Antonio Davis back to impart experience. It seems that Larry Brown is going to work.

    The Grizzlies, with Damon Stoudemire declining and internal conflicts, are currently ranked second to last in the Western Conference. It¡¯s hard to say what their next record will be. Anyway, Damon Stoudemire¡¯s backup players  Got it.

    Parker, a man as fast as Damon Stoudemire.

    Gooden was sent away in exchange for Gordon Kirisek. With strong support at the shooting guard position, internal conflicts were resolved.

    With their current record of 12 wins and 36 losses, there is indeed no room for struggle.

    ¡°And their draft picks this year were all sorted out as early as 1999, and they were still unprotected.

    According to the news from the source, the Grizzlies management is very calm and tells the players that everyone can finish the season happily this year. It is best to win a few more games. It doesn¡¯t matter if they lose. Just treat it as charity.  Yes, the important thing is that everyone should improve in the game.

    The most high-profile person in this deal is the Sonics.

    They got the one with the most talent and strength in this deal involving about 10 players from 4 teams - Lamar Odom!

    Artest, Kirilenko, Zhang Hao, Odom, Ben Wallace, Chandler, other players in other positions are ignored. Odom joins the Sonics, and the Sonics' frontcourt is full of manpower.  To the extreme!

    Let¡¯s not talk about the future salary situation. Now, the Sonics¡¯ already extremely powerful inside line has become even stronger!

    In terms of the back line, the biggest problem for the Sonics this season is the back line. There is only one star in Cassell, Brent Barry, Parker, and Ginobili. They are either young or too mediocre.

    Now, even Parker is gone.

    On February 9, after returning to Seattle, Zhang Hao was asked this question in an interview.

    Zhang Hao responded: "No problem, even if there is a problem, it will be solved. Besides, I am very used to working with magicians, and I also like working with magicians."

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??I love working with magicians.  "

 Chapter 550 550. The genius whose mouth was opened by God and fed (7000 words please vote)

    Most of the young players on the Sonics are ambitious, but the one who is clearly dissatisfied with their current position is Parker.

    When Parker was traded to the Grizzlies, it was clear to his former teammates that he was very happy.

    This made the teammates who were somewhat reluctant to give up feel that it was better to wish them well.

    More than a season and a half later, teammates actually sensed Parker¡¯s dissatisfaction with the status quo very early on.

    It is understandable. After all, Parker's treatment in the team is mediocre. Kirilenko has been clearly Ben Wallace's substitute since his rookie season. Chandler is also Zhang Hao's substitute. As for Parker,  In his rookie season, he was a backup among the backups.

    In the new season, when Ginobili arrived, he also relied on a more mature style of play to have relatively stable playing time.

    It¡¯s just that when Parker was traded, his teammates felt somewhat ¡®betrayed¡¯. After learning about Parker¡¯s reaction, this feeling disappeared

    It¡¯s more of a relief.

    So far this season, they have two clear strong points on the offensive end-Zhang Hao and Cassell.

    They are good enough on defense, but the offensive end has always been a big problem, and they can't find a third truly clear strong point.

    Artest¡¯s offensive strength is about 15 points per game, Parker is slightly worse, and then there are Ginobili and Brent Barry who average 10 points per game.

    The SuperSonics and Raptors have been flirting with each other for more than a day or two. The signs that have appeared in the team also made some players expect it.

    Everyone knows who the team is most likely to be traded, but before the transaction is completed, if those few players are lost, others are also possible.

    Now that the deal has really been completed, we have acquired a top player who can average 17 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1 steal, and 1.6 blocks per game in his second year. Finally, we have a third clear strength on the offensive end.

    And now that the All-Star Weekend has passed, there should be no more trades, and the Sonics players have much less to worry about.

    ¡­¡­

    "Lamar Odom, 23 years old, 208 cm, 104 kg, ability evaluation 84 (?) played 29 games with the Raptors this season, started 25 games, averaged 33 minutes per game, and averaged 14.1 points per game.  8.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.9 blocksshooting rate 42.9%, three-point shooting rate 31.6%"

    Zhang Hao looked at Odom's player detection report, which was being tested, and felt so miserable.

    'I looked at last season. I played 80 games, averaging 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. In the playoffs, I averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 assists per game. It was a bit of a dive and then this year it was  The Raptors want to send him away?  Or is it because he wants to renew the contract at a lower price, so he lowers his playing time and performance opportunities?

    It may also have something to do with himself. If Odom is as active, focused and competitive as the original Double Davis, the Raptors will probably renew his contract appropriately.  ¡¯

    Zhang Hao was watching Odom's test, and almost all the Sonics players were watching.

    The trade resulted in the acquisition of Odom and Foster. The latter was bought out directly by the Sonics after the trade, freeing up the position and allowing the latter to find his next job earlier.

    Odom¡¯s test and physical examination were completed after Odom arrived in Seattle yesterday. Today¡¯s physical and technical tests will be conducted.

    The direction of Odom¡¯s testing is mainly related to point guards.

    The Sonics players were not surprised by which direction Odom was tested, but by the test itself!

    From various tests, the SuperSonics players' feelings towards Odom, their new teammate Apart from Zhang Hao, there is no one else on the team who can match Odom's talent!

    Some players¡¯ talents are really visible to the naked eye.

    Although Parker was traded away, it allowed the rest of the team to feel at ease.

    Although Parker is not strong yet, the talent he has shown is unmatched by other young players in the Sonics' three outside positions, including Artest, including Kirilenko. Therefore, most teammates initially felt that  Kirilenko or Chandler may be sent away, after all, the team is short of outsiders.

    But since Parker has been traded away, it means that the team will most likely not move the frontcourt players.

    At this time, teammates are worried about whose position will be squeezed out after Odom comes.

    But seeing Odom¡¯s skills, physical talent, and everything elseit seems like it¡¯s not a big deal if anyone gets squeezed out

    ¡­¡­

    "Oh, yo, I never thought we would come together again, so my career will be full of meaning"

    &nbsp?, and nothing is bad, it is possible that the three main statistics are the highest in the team, and then the team does not know how to recruit around them.

    It's okay for such players to be strong. If they are not that strong, it's hard to say whether they can play well. Some even performed as All-Stars in one team last season and were poached by other teams.  In the end, there is no need for a process and it directly becomes a junk contract.

    But any team that has a player like this has a great possibility of getting better - because this new player can do anything!

    If he is not used as a core player, but as a substitute, and he is willing to play as a substitute, then

    The media and some fans are always very impatient. After only 10 days, they are advocating that the Sonics made a wrong choice in trading for Odom, as if the deal can be finalized in 10 days.

    But within 10 days, we just discovered the problem.

    With a player who knows everything and has reached the first-class level in almost every skill, it is too easy to adjust his playing style to meet the needs of the team

    By late February, the Sonics started a winning streak!

    On February 22, the Sonics beat the Bucks 104-85 at home; on February 24, the Sonics narrowly defeated the Knicks 102-97 at home; on February 25, the Sonics beat the Knicks 101-90 at home.  Easily defeated the Pistons; on February 27, the SuperSonics slaughtered the Hawks 103-76 at home.

    In February, the SuperSonics ended their 4-game winning streak, temporarily stabilizing first place in the Western Conference and first place in the league.

    On March 1st, the Sonics scored 109-101 at home, allowing over 100 points for the fifth time this season, but still defeated the Clippers by 8 points and won five consecutive games.

    On March 3, the SuperSonics were 98-96 away from home. Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer to defeat the Timberwolves and win 6 consecutive games.

    On March 4, the Sonics played back-to-back away games against the Nuggets. Odom had his first triple-double in his Sonics career, scoring 15 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks. He led the team to a 106-88 victory over the Nuggets, scoring 7 points.  Winning streak!

    Finally, on March 6, the fourth game in six days was the last consecutive away game. The Sonics lost to the Jazz 93-104 in an away game. The winning streak was ended and the record became 49 wins and 13 losses.  , it¡¯s a pity that there was a winning streak that reached 50 wins.

    ? ? Immediately afterwards, on March 8, the SuperSonics returned to their home court and unfortunately lost to the 76ers 89-93, suffering a two-game losing streak.

    This time, people no longer questioned it. They could all see that the Sonics' outside shooting in these two games was extremely poor. It was purely a matter of state.

    The winning streak is still a slap in the face.

    No, on March 10th, the Sonics felt significantly better. They defeated the Mavericks 107-99 at home and won their 50th victory of the season. Their record improved to 50 wins and 14 losses, and they became the first team this season ahead of the Mavericks.  A team that won more than 50 games also turned the Mavericks' record into 49 wins and 15 losses!

    After a series of wins and losses, there was a winning streak. After a winning streak, some problems were more or less exposed, and then adjustments were made.

    Whether it is a staggered victory or defeat, a winning streak, or a losing streak, the three stages all illustrate the instability of the Sonics during this period.

    When this month-long running-in period passed, the Sonics began to truly enter a stable state.

    On March 12th and 13th, the SuperSonics played the Warriors and Suns back-to-back away from home, defeating the Warriors 99-85 and narrowly beating the Suns 83-79.

    On March 15, the SuperSonics returned to their home court and narrowly defeated the Nuggets 101-99. Odom received a pass from Zhang Hao at the free throw line and rushed in to complete the layup Even Odom who completed the victory was doubtful.  life.

    Carter is also a master of winning shots, but every killing shot by Carter is earth-shattering.

    When it comes to Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao runs and catches the ball. The position where he catches the ball is the baseline. His teammates can directly rush in and get a layup

    With 53 wins and 14 losses, the SuperSonics won three consecutive victories!

    The three-game winning streak did not last. On March 18, after two days of rest, the Sonics faced the challenge of the Warriors at home. This time, the Warriors got excited and defended quite well, restricting the Sonics for the whole game.  He only scored 86 points and narrowly defeated the Sonics 90-86, handing the Sonics their 15th defeat.

    On March 20th and 21st, the Sonics played the Rockets and Trail Blazers for two consecutive games. They lost to the Rockets 91-97 and massacred the Trail Blazers 115-91. Their record became 54 wins and 16 losses.

    After the first 70 games of the season, the Sonics achieved a record of 54 wins and 16 losses, half a game ahead of the Lakers, who are currently 54 wins and 17 losses after playing one more game, and one win ahead of the Mavericks, who are 53 wins and 17 losses.  Field, temporarily ranked first in the league!

    Next, the Sonics will have 4 games at the end of this month and 8 games in the first 20 days of April. 4 games at the end of this month, 3 home and 1 away. They will first play the Grizzlies, 76ers, and Wizards at home.  team, and then play the Lakers away from home to end the game in March.

 Chapter 551 551. The final puzzle (6000 words please vote)

    During the period of the 5th company, there was a wave of 3 consecutive days of rest, from March 22 to 24, which was very helpful for the Sonics.

    On the 22nd and 23rd, the Sonics coaching staff did not arrange team training, and only arranged individual technical training on the afternoon of the 23rd.

    Rest is important.

    The coaching staff did not sit idle, nor did they let several core players idle. After a day off on the 22nd, on the morning of the 23rd, Zhang Hao, Cassell, and Ben Wallace were called to the arena to discuss the next step.  schedule.

    Yesterday, the coaching staff had discussed how to adjust next, but they still had to go through it with the three core players.

    First, we analyzed the changes in the team over the past month or so and the progress of adjustments in various aspects.

    Cassel said: "The addition of Lamar has really helped us a lot."

    Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace both nodded.

    In the past 40 days, the Sonics have played 22 games, going from 39 wins and 9 losses to 54 wins and 16 losses, which means their record during this period is 15 wins and 7 losses.

    The record situation does not seem to be much different from before the All-Star weekend, but in late February and early to mid-March, the Sonics' schedule was tighter than in January, and the intensity of their opponents was not as strong as in January.  Difference.

    In this way, to stabilize the record, first of all, we must at least keep up with the progress of the strong teams in the entire league. It is not easy when there are personnel changes.

    Moreover, putting aside the six games in the 10 days just after the All-Star Weekend, the following was 12 wins and 4 losses. In other words, after Odom gradually integrated, the Sonics finally returned from the end of their 23-game winning streak.  By February 20th, the winning rate was more than 60%, which improved to a wave of games with a winning rate of more than 70%!

    Odom works very hard. He is in a contract year and has another chance to compete for the championship. He also has two old partners from high school in Artest and Zhang Hao.

    In order to win three consecutive championships, my teammates are working hard and actively cooperating with the team to adjust.

    The coaching staff worked hard and devoted themselves to leading the team to adjust.

    The addition of a player with a core style of play, even though he is a substitute, is also very taxing on the reconstruction of the Sonics' overall style of play.

    ¡°Basically again, these efforts are all deserved.

    But even so, in more than 40 days, the adjustment was almost completed

    If it¡¯s the beginning of the season, and it takes more than a month to complete adjustments through training camps and preseason games, that wouldn¡¯t be a surprise.

    ¡°But we were more than halfway into the regular season. It was only in the latter part of the regular season that we started to adjust, and the progress was actually so fast.

    The main reason is not about how hard his teammates work or how hard his coach works, but about Odom's talent.

    ¡°At first, the teammates and coaches were quite reserved, but as time went on, it became¡ª¡®Lamar, you want to do what you want here, what you want to do there¡­¡¯

    ¡°I won¡¯t make excessive demands. After all, it means that if you ask for something, you must do it right away.

    But since a request needs to be made, it means that it is not something that can be done casually.

    Teammates and the team all need to adjust with Odom immediately, and others make demands on Odom based on what they can do.

    Then, Odom really did it!

    On this basis, they completed the leap from a winning rate of about 67% to a winning rate of 75%!

    In the eyes of others, they currently have 54 wins and 16 losses, with a winning rate of 77%. The "recovery" of this winning rate is not a particularly important thing.

    Only they themselves know that this is not a simple matter.

    Listening to the coaching staff's analysis, listening to Cassel's praise of Odom, and watching Odom's last 22 games, he averaged 26 minutes per game, scoring 10.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks.  , 53.1% field goal percentage, 34.3% three-point shooting percentage

    Zhang Hao said: "We will definitely make progress. Our direction is right, but now we can only say that we have dispelled people's doubts about our introduction of Lamar. In the next 12 games, we have to do better.  , get ready for the playoffs.¡±

    In fact, if Odom is traded to another team that is willing to give chips and take a junk contract, it will not bring particularly high attention.

    For more than three years, the Raptors, for Carter and Odom, have been consuming the popularity brought by their talents.

    The few years in the Raptors did not bring any additional improvement to the two of them.

    It¡¯s just because the team is the Sonics and a controversial talent like Odom is added that there are so many topics.

    &nbspThere are actually very few serious players. Wesley Persson wants to go to a strong championship team while still having the strength. This is what most ordinary stars do to cling to their dignity at this age.

    Wesley Persson's buyout agreement with the Grizzlies has been reached, but he is not yet able to join immediately and has to deal with some details. The SuperSonics have basically settled the deal with Wesley Persson.  After signing the contract, that night, we faced the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers.

    ¡­¡­

    This season, Zhang Hao won the Player of the Month twice at the beginning of the season. He did not win it in January and February, but he is still one of the players who has won the Player of the Month the most times this season

    After February, he was caught up, and Duncan also won the best of the month twice!

    "Tim Duncan, 26 years old (April 25, 1976), 211 cm, 116 kg, ability evaluation 102averaged 25.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1 steal, 2.9 blocks per gameshooting rate 51.3%, free throw shooting  The rate is 71%¡­¡±

    Among the opponents Zhang Hao has seen this year, no matter whether it is the strength displayed on the court or the ratings in the player detection report, no one is better than Duncan!

    O'Neal, Kobe, Garnett, Kidd, Tracy McGrady, Iverson they all don't work, they all have a gap!

    O'Neal has returned to the level of a 'normal super giant', with a 99 ability rating. Duncan, who is 26-27 years old this season, has become the strongest opponent Zhang Hao has encountered this season!

    The 76ers currently have 43 wins and 28 losses, and there is still a certain possibility of reaching 50 wins.

    Zhang Hao looked at the opposing lineup. Iverson, Duncan, Aaron McGee, Raheem, Van Horn, Snow, and Kenny Thomas, the seven-man core is great.

    But apart from these 7 people, the current strength of the rest of the 76ers team is that some are too old, and some have just entered the NBA Anyway, no one else has the ability to evaluate 70.

    In addition, Snow and Aaron McGee have both missed more than 25 games this season, and Raheem and Kenny Thomas also joined the 76ers later That's it, Duncan averaged 25+13+3+1 per game.  +3, Iverson averaged 23+4+7+2 per game, Raheem averaged 16+7+2+1 per game

    Relying on a seven-man core rotation with two people often injured, the 76ers still have a chance to win 50 wins. As an opponent, Zhang Hao has to give a thumbs up to the opposing Big Three!

    The monkey is too difficult!  There are no reinforcements, the whole process will be c!

 Asking for double monthly pass~

    I didn't plan to ask for votes because I thought there were too few updates this month. However, a friend privately chatted with Xiaofeng and said that Xiaofeng has updated a lot. Xiaofeng took a look and found that even if there have been fewer updates recently, Xiaofeng's updates are really still the same.  It¡¯s quite a lot. So far, 29 days have not ended, and Xiaofeng has updated 280,000 words.

    It¡¯s hard to say about other categories, but the sports category seems to be one of the two or three most popular books.

    In this case, please ask for a vote!  For every 1,000 more votes, Xiaofeng will be able to draw a lottery next month. Xiaofeng got a printer he drew last time. It looks pretty fashionable, and he can also draw cash. If it is doubled now, he can draw it with 500 votes.  Wait there is no monthly ticket prize, but the lottery prize is still pretty good.

 Chapter 553 553. It¡¯s like playing a serious All-Star game (asking for double monthly votes)

    "You're old!" O'Neal was about to run away on the spotDon't pull meHey, there's no one around, so forget it.

    With great difficulty, this guy took the initiative to speak, it would be better not to speak.

    "What's wrong with getting old? You won't be over 30 years old?"

    Thinking of this, O'Neill became even more angry and glared at Zhang Hao fiercely.

    If this guy doesn¡¯t leave, will he need to worry about his age?

    But now I am really worried about my age 'Fortunately, I have already had an MVP and a championship. I will work harder and win another championship, preferably an FMVP, and my career will be complete'

    ¡®?  ?  ?  ¡¯ When Zhang Hao opened his mouth, he found that he had once again accidentally poked the sore spot. Just as he was about to make up for it, he saw O¡¯Neal¡¯s face-changing scene ¡®What¡¯s wrong with the big fat guy?  ¡¯

    After adjusting his mood, O'Neal was still a little happy. After several years, Zhang Hao finally took the initiative to speak O'Neal replied again: "Am I old? Is there a center on your team who dares to play one-on-one with me? Are you coming?"  "

    Zhang Hao responded: "I'm just saying, Mr. O'Neal, you are getting old. It doesn't mean that you are no longer strong. You are still the strongest center, but you are not as strong as you were in the past few years. What a pity."

    It's really a pity O'Neal could tell that Zhang Hao was telling the truth, and said: "That's for sure. I turned 31 a while ago, and you even gave me a truck of beer. I'm not as strong as last year or the year before that. That's for sure.  By the way, why did you give me a cart of beer on my birthday?¡±

    "We are brothers, so let's have a beer together"

    ¡°???¡±

    "It's okay. When I saw the beer, I thought of your birthday, so I bought it by the way."

    Hearing this, O'Neal looked down at his belly and patted it, it looked a bit like

    Zhang Hao asked in confusion: "Mr. O'Neill, aren't you angry that you are old?"

    "I'm just old, not weak."

    "oh¡­¡­"

    ¡­¡­

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s definitely a sign of pretty strong self-confidence for an athlete who¡¯s not too big-minded to dare to face up to his age.

    But as O'Neal said, Zhang Hao also knows that even 31-year-old O'Neal is definitely one of the three best players in the league. Let alone 31 years old, if Carlisle's usage is used, O'Neal will be the No. 3 player in the next three years.  With a center, O'Neal will most likely be the most effective player at the center position in the next five years.

    After discussing age with O'Neal, Pierce also came up and had a few words.

    Since I meet Pierce often, I would go to Pierce's house for dinner every time I go to Los Angeles. Pierce's mother's apartment is still open, and she still likes to cookbut now she has to hire a bodyguard, and she wears a big gold chain all day long.  Looking at the watch, I recall that 10 years ago, Pierce's mother would be afraid of others seeing her when she went out at night. Now she doesn't dare to go out at night.

    Time is a very interesting thing. When Zhang Hao came to the Staples Center again this year, there were not so many people booing him.

    Originally, he thought that he was once again on the road to winning three consecutive championships and would be booed even more when he came to play in this arena. This was not the case.

    For example, there were fans at the scene holding signs saying ¡®x, championship, us or you¡¯.

    Facts have proved that anyone can leave Zhang Hao, but this generation of Lakers fans have lost their Magic, their logo man, and their McCann

    There are already rumors in Los Angeles that if the combination of O'Neal, Pierce, and Ray Allen does not win the championship at this stage, then the Lakers will change.

    This is not a secret. Pierce's big contract has begun to be implemented and taxes have begun to be paid. The pressure to win the championship has naturally come. The nostalgia that the championship brought to Lakers fans 5 years ago has almost disappeared by now. It has only been two years.  There has to be a championship to satisfy the fans.

    O'Neal and Zhang Hao are constantly entangled, Pierce and Zhang Hao have a very good relationship, among the three major Lakers stars, there is another person who has long disliked Zhang Hao - Ray Allen.

    "At first, Ray Allen couldn't stand Zhang Hao. There was no other reason. He just couldn't stand it. The two had a grudge during the three-point contest.

    But no matter whether the relationship is good or bad, Zhang Hao will not be given face when it comes to the court.

    At 7 o'clock in the evening, the SuperSonics' away game against the Lakers started.

    The Lakers sent a starting combination of Fisher, Ray Allen, Pierce, Robert Horry, and O'Neal.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Cassell, Brent Barry, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace.

    ??Same as the previous three games, O'Neal, Pierce, Ray Allen, the threeBoth Chandler and Kirilenko were traded in the free market, and with Parker, they were trying to replace an All-Star shooting guard.

    Rather than asking for veterans, we signed Arroyo, Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans and others

    The Sonics look so good now because they have adjusted bit by bit.

    For example, during the 23-game winning streak at the beginning, everyone who watched the Sonics felt that the Sonics did not have the strength to win 23 consecutive games at all. They relied solely on the blood of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, and the others were relying on Cassel and Artes.  It would be great if we could not be held back under Te's leadership.

    By now, Chandler and Kirilenko have truly become important parts of the bench, and Odom, the newcomer, has also become the leader of the bench.

    Cassell and Artest have performed stably, and the inside combination of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace is invincible

    This season the SuperSonics have been able to adjust little by little to where they are now, and the coaching staff definitely plays a big role!

    Doug Collins and his coaching staff have also been truly recognized!

    ¡­¡­

    Seeing that he was not the best player of the month in March, Ben Wallace breathed a sigh of relief.

    Last year, it was at this time that I snatched away the boss¡¯ Player of the Month award, and almost caused the boss to not get unanimous MVP votes.

    Thinking about it carefully, it seems that whether or not you win the Rookie of the Month award has no big impact

    But it¡¯s very important not to steal the boss¡¯s Player of the Month award this season!

    Unlike last season, Zhang Hao¡¯s MVP this season is the consecutive MVP, which is more difficult.

    Mainly because there is a monkey in the East who wants to cause trouble, and he has been awarded Player of the Month three times in a single season!

 Chapter 555 555. The first place in the alliance is finally achieved!  (3 updates with 18,000 words, please double the monthly ticket!)

    In online basketball forums, a group of people have emerged this season. If something goes wrong, they will catch Ginobili and make a fuss about it.

    ??Averaging 18 minutes per game, scoring 7.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals. Ginobili's performance is definitely not very good.

    Ginobili averaged 9 points per game one month, 10 points per game the other month, and a little more than 5 points per game in the remaining three months.

    Can you blow this too?

    Yes, Sonics fans love Ginobili.

    For a second-round pick, who was selected in 1999 and was already 25 years old when he entered the NBA, Sonics fans did not have high expectations.

    If you don't play well, there's nothing you can do about it. How can a second-round pick be good?

    If you can play well and don't hold back, then you've made money.

    Occasionally a few good balls  and often appear, at least two or three games can appear a wonderful goal 

    This kind of Ginobili is indeed liked by fans of his own team.

    And Ginobili can really play an important role in very important games, not just once or twice, but often.

    This one is very special.

    It¡¯s not that the NBA doesn¡¯t have those kind of crazy players, but there are quite a lot of them.

    Like Arroyo of the Sonics, he is a standard neurotic player.

    But it¡¯s very rare for Ginobili to look like a superstar when he¡¯s soaring.

    ¡°And Ginobili was really cheating when he was cheating

    Such a player will not get a good evaluation if placed on a weak team, but in a strong team, he will become a very interesting person - you will not blame him if you lose, but if he helps the team win, he will  Blow up to the sky.

    Like this time, he scored 8 points and 2 assists in overtime and beat Comai in 5 minutes, which made Ginobili popular again.

    The SuperSonics are extremely topical this year!

    Since the 23-game winning streak at the beginning, the topic has never been low.

    In addition to Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, there are many other topics.

    After Chandler showed his talent in protecting the frame and became a good substitute for Zhang Hao, he was linked to the ear-biting Tyson.

    Chris Anderson doesn¡¯t play in every game, and he doesn¡¯t play for too long. His statistics are average, but as long as he plays at home, he can receive cheers.

    Reggie Evans, Bullshit Man became famous in one battle.

    Kassel is already quite famous. With the hot sales of endorsement brands such as Ferrari ET models and x sports ET generation sneakers, it has actually shown quite good commercial value. There are many movies and TV series related to aliens.  He could make a cameo, and a number of other products that referenced Alien elements found him endorsements.

    Kirilenko, wears jersey No. 47.

    When the new Odom was in the Raptors, it was the Raptors that consumed his attention. When he arrived in the SuperSonics, he was known to more fans.

    Although in the Sonics, there is a cool boss, and there are a bunch of thugs next to the bossZuo Mo's concentration is much higher than that in the Raptors, but!

    The concentration time of a game is increased from 20% to 30%, that¡¯s it.

    Odom often contributes various "unexpected" or "surprise" expressions on the court.

    SuperSonics fans watched Odom play, and out of 10 goals, 5 were average, 2-3 made them jump with excitement, but there were also 2-3 that made their own fans go crazy.

    And Artest almost has ¡®I want to usurp the throne¡¯ written on his face, the Puerto Rican mountain with the character of an old bastard, and Jia Dajia who has become a real bastard

    Before the gentle and polite Wesley Persson came to the Sonics, Matt Barnes, the top thorn in the college era, seemed to be the most ordinary person on the Sonics.

    With Zhang Hao here, the Sonics get more attention. The higher the attention, the greater the popularity increase brought by the record. The rest of the Sonics also receive more attention and receive more attention. For most people,  It's a good motivation, and then you play harder it forms a virtuous cycle.

    To form such a cycle, the prerequisite is to win

    ¡­¡­

    On April 16, the SuperSonics challenged the Jazz away from home in Salt Lake City.

    This is the Sonics' 41st away game of the season and the last away game of the season.

    The Jazz are one of the few teams that can beat the Sonics multiple times this season. In the past three games this season, the Sonics have won 1 and lost 2.

    This time, the SuperSonics did not lose again. Zhang Hao scored 50+ points in a single game for the third time this season and the 16th 40+ points in a single game this season. He scored 54 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The SuperSonicsEntered the mvp prediction list.

    As the SuperSonics won the regular season championship, Zhang Hao¡¯s calls for consecutive MVPs immediately surged.

    It is possible that one game will play a decisive role in the MVP competition that has been going on for a whole season.

    MVP is the most popular award prediction, except for this, it is the best defensive player and the best rookie.

    After 82 games, Ben Wallace has secured the DPOY title!

    There is no suspense, averaging 7.9 points, 13.6 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 3 blocks per game. The defensive efficiency is the highest in history since 1976 - 9.1!

    The previous record holder was Olajuwon, with a single-season average defensive efficiency of 8.7.

    Since 1976, only three players have averaged a defensive efficiency of more than 8 in a season, Olajuwon and Mutombo before, and Ben Wallace last season.

    This season, Ben Wallace set a new record in modern basketball - the defensive efficiency exceeded 9!

    ?Best Rookie of the Year¡ªYao Ming is locked in, playing full attendance, averaging 33 minutes per game, scoring 16.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.8 blocks, shooting 53% from the field and 81% from the free throw line.

    This performance is not bad for the No. 1 pick in the 1990s.

    ¡­¡­

    On April 21, the day after the regular season ended, at 10 a.m., the league announced the Best of the Month awards for the last game month and the Best of the Week awards for the last week.

    Best of the Week: Shawn Marion of the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference; Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks in the Western Conference.

    The common characteristic of the two people is that they led the team to a complete victory in the last week.

    Coach of the Month, Eastern Conference, Bulls coach Doc Rivers; Western Conference, Mavericks coach Don Nelson.

    Rookie of the Month: Yao Ming of the Wizards in the Eastern Conference; Boozer of the Clippers in the Western Conference.

    Player of the Month, Eastern Conference, Duncan of the 76ers, the fourth Player of the Month of the season, setting a new NBA historical record; Western Conference Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks!

    Nowitzki won the Player of the Month award by leading his team to win 9 games in April, stabbing his idol in the back!

    ¡®Is this why Garnett couldn¡¯t get past the first round without the aliens or even with Truth?  His ability to lead the team is also unique. It may not necessarily motivate his teammates, but it may make his opponents even more excited'

    On the other side, after losing the game, his teammates were all scared, but Garnett didn't jump. He took the towel handed by his teammates, wiped it, put it on his shoulders, and left.

    Being the first to walk into the tunnel, he didn¡¯t even give his teammates, opponents, media a chance to react.

    This surprised the teammates.

    Watching Garnett disappear at the entrance of the player tunnel first, the Timberwolves players were very surprised. If they lost the series before, Garnett would definitely be furiousbut this time

    They have an inexplicable feeling - it seems that this will be the last time they see Garnett's back like this.

    After advancing to the second round, Zhang Hao received a progress reminder for this task.

    He still felt a little sad when he looked at this task.

    What was accomplished with the Lakers will now be surpassed.

    I don¡¯t regret anything.

    He can be sure that if he continues to stay in the Lakers, his pure personal business value will definitely be further developed.

    But more, it¡¯s hard to say.

    For example, my mood was unpleasant at the time.

    This is still very important

    Things like how we can better cooperate with Howard Schultz, the big boss who will dominate the fast-drink industry in the future, in Seattle are secondary.

    Zhang Hao looked at the current situation in the first round of the playoffs 'Stern probably didn't expect that just changing the best-of-five games to the best-of-seven games would bring such a big change to the first round'

    ¡­¡­

    The SuperSonics defeated the Timberwolves 4-2 and were actually one of the first teams to advance.

    The only ones who advanced before the SuperSonics were the Lakers, who defeated the Spurs 4-2 on May 4, and the Mavericks, who defeated the Suns 4-2.

    The Bulls led from 3 to 1 and were chased by the Pacers to a 3 to 3 tie; the 76ers dragged the Bucks to the tiebreaker; the Cavaliers were tied by the Celtics; the Wizards relied on Yao Mingji  He scored a new high of 28 points in the post-game, narrowly defeating the Nets 92-89 and dragging the series into a tiebreaker.

    What surprised people the most was that the Trail Blazers, led by the bandits, came from behind 0 to 3 and made a sudden comeback.??, I don¡¯t talk much now, but I am extremely sultry. I always feel that God is the boss and he is the second child, that he is the chosen one who wants to save the world

    On May 9, the Kings came to Seattle.

    The second round of the playoffs will begin tonight. The Bulls and 76ers, Mavericks and Lakers will start their first games tonight.

    The SuperSonics will face the Kings tomorrow to start the second round.

    The Kings have had a hard time this season, but the regular season was okay. Webber missed more than 30 games, but they still won 59 games.

    But in the playoffs, they were almost overturned by the Trail Blazers.

    And in the playoffs, Webb's extremely unstable performance turned into poor performance.

    It is really bad, but the data is not bad. In the first round, he averaged 18 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, but he only played 3 games and his shooting percentage was a dismal 41%.

    And on the other side

    "Otherwise, the Kings have accepted it.

    For example, Artest¡¯s second defense, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace¡¯s double defense.

    ??This, in the history of the NBA, it is only the 1995-96 season that Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman were selected for the first defense at the same time. It is even more exaggerated.

    But this is actually not bad. When Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace were at their peak, Artest's talent was overwhelming and he entered the fourth grade. It was time to show his strength.

    Kassel is going too far!

    Cassell is averaging 17.1 points per game this season, the second-highest scorer on the Sonics, and one of only two players averaging more than 15 points per game.

    Averaged 17.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game He turned 33 in November last year!

    In this year's All-Star Game, among the players who were not selected for the All-Star reserve lineup, many people felt that Cassel was the one who least deserved to be selected Of course, this is because Cassel's performance after the All-Star Weekend was better than before the All-Star Weekend.  related.

    For the Kings, they really can't accept it - they are both players in the 1993 class, and Cassel is more than 3 years older than Webber. Why does Cassel look younger than Webber?

 Chapter 558 558. The true posture of the SuperSonics (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket!)

    Weber himself was extremely envious when he saw Cassell.

    Money, he earns much more than Cassel. After his rookie contract, a contract can be worth Cassel's entire career.

    but!

    Cassel won the championship in his rookie year, and he still won the championship as a substitute!

    Now that I have 4 crowns in hand, one more crown will fill up the rings!

    Apart from this, the 33-year-old Cassel seems to have just entered his prime

    Why was Cassel selected for the second team?

    Playing against first-line point guards such as Bibby, Jason Williams, Andre Miller, Snow Cassell can basically beat his opponents this season.

    When meeting Payton, Kidd, Nash, or even Tracy McGrady, who plays point guard, Cassell can play back and forth with each other in terms of offense or organization of offense when one-on-one.

    The second-team defender is equivalent to being among the top five defenders in the regular season this season!

    Taking into account those players who have poor overall performance but are extremely functional and cannot be selected for the All-NBA Team or the All-Defensive Team but are recognized as strong players, Cassell's performance this season is definitely among the top 20 in the league.

    Think about it, when Cassel entered the NBA 10 years ago, he was still an ordinary rookie averaging 9 points and 4 assists per game. He started to win championships. 10 years later, he became the league's top point guard and continued to compete for championships Webb couldn't help but envy him.  !

    This year¡¯s first and second rounds seem to be reversed.

    Initially, after the first round of the playoffs became a best-of-seven game, many people thought that this almost completely blocked the way to defeat the top team in the first round, because before, it was enough to win 3 games, but now you have to win 4 games.

    But the actual situation seems to be different.

    In the era of best-of-five games, it often happens that teams in the top half come up directly and are taken away in one wave.

    Like McGrady said, you can start thinking about the second round early.

    But now, it may give teams in the bottom half of the playoffs a chance to adapt to the intensity of their opponents.

    Of course, in most cases, the teams in the lower half have not adapted to the strength of the teams in the upper half, and are defeated by the teams in the upper half who find an easier way.

    But if, like this year¡¯s Eastern Conference, the first to eighth teams are relatively close in strength, the probability of winning or losing in a best-of-7 game is higher than in a best-of-5 game.

    Coupled with the fact that the first round of this year was a best-of-seven game for the first time this year, there were really 5 situations where the bottom could overcome the top, but in the end none of them happened.

    But in the second round the beating mode is on.

    In the first game between the Bulls and the 76ers, the Bulls were forced out of form by the Pacers. In the first game of the second round, they defeated the 76ers 82-67.

    In the first game between the Mavericks and the Lakers, the Mavericks slaughtered the Lakers 132-110.

    There may be a very large strength gap between the Bulls and the 76ers. This was analyzed by experts before the start of the second round.

    Although many fans of the double No. 1 picks have criticized the experts who made this statement, many of them have been stepped on. People are often said to be unwilling to accept the true situation that they only know.  anger.

    When the 76ers were really beaten by the Bulls in the second round, many people accepted it.

    But the Mavericks beat the Lakers

    Nowitzki made 19 of 33 shots, including 6 of 13 three-pointers, 9 of 17 mid-range shots, and 6 of 7 free throws. He hit a career playoff high of 50 points in a single game, beating Horry, Fox, and  Pierce and Samaki-Walker's wheel-to-wheel defense, the Lakers really have nothing to do.

    In the playoffs, he made 6 three-pointers and 9 mid-range shots in a single game. The last player to perform like this was Zhang Hao!

    In this game, the veteran Lakers players seemed to have really seen the legendary large-scale version of the pure technical stream Ritian!

    Nowitzki's 50 points, coupled with Finley's 36 points, the two scored 86 points together, beating the Lakers to the punch.

    ¡­¡­

    May 10th is the day of the first game of the series between the SuperSonics and Kings.

    Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi played against each other in the playoffs for the second time, and domestic fans were certainly paying close attention.

    Although Wang Zhizhi failed to be selected for the best team, he still won the title of "quasi-best team player" domestically.

    But now domestic fans are so confused, mainly those who are not football stars.

    The Kings are definitely a championship-level team. There is no doubt about this. They almost swept the promotion in the first round and won 59 games in the regular season. And it can be seen that the future prospects of the Kings are far from as good as they looked last season. It is very likely that this season will be the Kings.  The best chance to compete for the championship. Domestic fans hope to see the Kings team currently led by Wang Zhizhi win the championship

    This season¡¯s Kings team is really Wang ZhizhiWith the second pick in the draft, the Nuggets will definitely get the players they want.

    The other 8 lottery picks are the Rockets with the 6th pick, the Raptors with the 7th pick, the Clippers with the 8th pick, the Magic with the 9th pick, the Warriors with the 10th pick, and the 11th pick.  The Knicks, the Jazz with the 12th pick, and the Hornets with the 13th pick.

    ¡­¡­

    The Heat won the No. 1 and No. 4 picks, and several agents who predicted high draft picks were celebrating!

    Miami, South Coast, bustling big city, high exposure

    These are what agents want.

    For example, Henry Thomas, who signed three draft candidates, Dwyane Wade, Kirk Hinrich, and TJ Ford, who were predicted to be likely to be selected in the lottery, called after the draft lottery.  Zhang Hao said how good the three draft picks he signed this time were.

    It¡¯s just that, no matter how excellent it is, it has nothing to do with Zhang Hao.

    It¡¯s impossible to trade Cassell for rookie Wade or Artest for rookie James In the next two or three years, you will accompany the two to practice and watch the two rookies delay each other¡¯s growth because of each other¡¯s competition for the ball?

    Now Zhang Hao has the ability to help young teammates grow, but he must also have a certain degree. For example, like Ginobili, he only needs to be given opportunities at specific moments, while people like Artest and Kirilenko have a fixed training direction  ¡­

    But Zhang Hao can understand Henry Thomas¡¯s excitement. This draft may not be very good in the middle and later stages, but these people who are predicted to be in the lottery are really talented!

    The most curious thing about Zhang Hao now is about the Heat's draft picks - where will James go?

    The Cavaliers will definitely select James with the No. 1 pick, but it¡¯s hard to say for Pat Riley.

    As far as Zhang Hao knows, when high school students play, oilheads will definitely recruit them, but this magic fortune teller is not the kind of person who would bet on rookies from high school students.

    The second round of the 2002-2003 playoffs is in full swing.

    The 8 teams that advanced to the second round were all teams that started with 50 wins, so they are naturally strong.

    But strong middle -handed hands, such things, do not always show strong confrontation.

    Some of them are indeed not strong duels.

    For example, this year's 76ers team was completely beaten by the Bulls and had little power to fight back.

    The Bulls easily held their two home games and went to Philadelphia to play the 76ers with a 2-0 score.

    The series between the Lakers and the Mavericks was really interesting. In the first game of the series, the Lakers were slaughtered by the Mavericks. The Lakers played in such a desperate manner.

    But in G2, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 124-113 in an away game!

    With a climax of 40 to 23 in the final quarter, the Lakers beat the Mavericks hard.

    The g2 between the Nets and Cavaliers is stable. The Nets won 95 to 87 and won both away games. It is not impossible to sweep the promotion.

    Youth is the problem of the Cavaliers. From the lineup and the style of play, the Cavaliers are the ones that are likely to break through the defensive limitations of the Nets team. The main reason is that the Cavaliers have the potential to defend better than the Nets.

    ¡°But the Cavaliers players currently lack game experience and personal strength.

    By May 13th, the SuperSonics and Kings series g2 was also played.

    87 to 96, the Sonics were beaten at home.

    Peja scored 4 three-pointers in the final quarter, and Zhang Hao also followed suit, making 0 of 6 in a single quarter He is stubborn and can still be stubborn at times.

    Then, the SuperSonics were tied by the Kings.

    But the strange thing is that the Sonics lost their home court, but not many people looked down on the Sonics.

    Soon, on May 15th, the SuperSonics came to Sacramento to challenge the Kings away from home, and immediately regained their home court advantage with a score of 99-86.

    The reason why the Sonics didn't disappoint people even if they lost at home is because they actually defended very well in the second game. Peja scored 4 three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the Kings reach a climax in the final quarter.  That¡¯s all.

    By g3, Peja also stalled

    Who makes Peja, Webb, and Wang Zhizhi, the top three players in the Kings' scoring per game, all frontcourt players?

    It happened to hit the muzzle of the Sonics' gun!

    The Kings are good at creating mismatches, playing high and short, fast and slow, and the players in each position are skilled enough and can do a good job.

    By coincidence, the Sonics can switch defenses unlimitedly when facing the Kings inside!

    ¡­¡­

    Time came on May 17th, the SuperSonics challenged the Kings away from home, and G4 came.

    This time, the Kings are basically fighting a last-ditch battle. If they lose this game, from the perspective of the Kings players, if they go to Seattle, they will basically not be able to come back.

    The Kings fought hard!

    In this game, the Kings took a total of 8 rotations, Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Webber, Wang Zhizhi, Bobby Jackson, Jim Jackson, and Hedo Turkoglu.

    The game entered the first half of the fourth quarter. Relying on Peja's outside containment and Weber's inside support, Bobby Jackson and Wang Zhizhi fired continuously from outside the three-point line. At 6 minutes and 11 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Kings led 82 to 82.  71 leads the SuperSonics by 11 points!

    With 5 minutes and 49 seconds left in the game, the Kings were about to tie the score, and it was the Sonics' turn to explode!

    First, Artest opened up the situation with a series of strong attacks, and then Odom took over Artest's sudden second pass to provide support, creating a large number of catch-and-shoot opportunities for Zhang Hao and Cassel in the mid-range on both sides.

    The Kings did a good job of defending against three-pointers and cuts in the second half, but if the mid-range shot is missed, then it is not a defensive problem, it has to rely on prayer

    ??Obviously the Kings are not sincere in their prayers. Zhang Hao scored 4 mid-range shots in the second half of the quarter, and Cassel scored two. The two scored 12 points in the second half of the quarter with mid-range shots!

    Coupled with Artest and Odom¡¯s strong offensive scoring, the SuperSonics scored 22-8 in the second half of the final quarter!

    In the end, the SuperSonics defeated the Kings 93-90, making the score 3-1!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The SuperSonics played with iron and blood, and the Kings became the first team to experience it, and also became the most unlucky one.

    Originally, Adelman's adaptability was not enough. As the first team to deal with the Sonics' style of play, Adelman had no other option but to let his players fight every game.

    ¡°Fighting¡± and ¡°consuming each other¡± are what the Sonics want to achieve.

    The Sonics, with a lot of manpower inside, are not afraid at all.?The loss

    But if it¡¯s the Western Conference, it doesn¡¯t matter

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    At 7:40 pm on May 23, 2003, Mavericks players and SuperSonics players entered the Key Arena court one after another.

    You are only one year younger than Zhang Hao. Would you feel embarrassed to admit that Zhang Hao is your idol?  This kind of thing does not exist with Nowitzki.

    Zhang Hao has serious doubts - this guy is a second-hand dealer!

    Nowitzki directly brought a bag to the scene today. After the players from the two teams entered the venue, Nowitzki, in the astonished eyes of the Sonics players, took out two sets of the Sonics' playoff version of this year's jerseys.  Zhang Hao has 4 pairs of sneakers in playoff colors. Ask Zhang Hao for his autograph.

    It¡¯s not a big deal to ask for an autograph, but to sign before the live game starts and steal the camera, it¡¯s hard for Zhang Hao not to suspect that Nowitzki is ¡®stamping¡¯ these shoes in an effort to get a better price.

    But Zhang Hao has no evidence.

    ¡°Moreover, this is the spokesperson of his own sneaker brand, and he is also a fan so he can only sign it.

    It's the Western Conference Finals again. In the past, SuperSonics fans would be happy for a year or two once they reached the Western Conference Finals. They were a Western Conference Finals team, and reaching the Finals once was a memory of several years. But now, looking at Zhang Hao  The SuperSonics fans swelled At this moment, they seemed to have seen them cross the Western Conference Finals!

    This makes Sonics fans seem to have been infected by fans on the West Coast. It may also be because many Lakers fans have become double fans of the Lakers and SuperSonics because of Zhang Hao in the past two years, which has led Sonics fans astray.  ¡­

    Soon, at 7:58 pm, the two teams' pre-game preparations were over. The game was about to begin. The Mavericks' starting players were about to take the field when the lights dimmed.

    The scattered emotions of the fans at the scene were stirred up at this moment.

    The big screen lit up, and Zhang Hao's face appeared on the big screen.

    Unlike usual, Zhang Hao did not yell directly, but spoke

    ¡°Thekingofthewesternfinalsisback¡­¡­¡±

    Before anyone could react, a familiar roar resounded throughout the audience. The fans cheered crazily regardless of what they were doing!

 Chapter 560 560. Mavericks from a wealthy family (6,000 words please vote)

    ¡®Look at you, you are just a bid-tender¡¯

    It¡¯s not just the SuperSonics fans who are inflated, Zhang Hao is also inflated!

    One thing that Zhang Hao has been worried about and has been trying to restrain finally happened - he became arrogant in the Western Conference Finals.

    There is no way

    "The King of the Western Conference Finals (Silver) triggers, and the exclusive player Zhang Hao will enter the best state in this Western Conference Finals. He can enter a continuous hot state in any designated quarter of the Western Conference Finals (score 15 points in a row to end the game).  The hot state does not affect the normal state)."

    The Western Conference Finals haven¡¯t even started yet, so being so conceited will definitely irritate the opponent and make them play even more violently.

    The state of Odom, the strongest player on the team's bench, is unpredictable. Zhang Hao doesn't know how Zuo Mo will change at once.

    But, there is no way, there is really no way!

    Were last year¡¯s Kings easy to deal with?  That's not the Kings that Webber has plummeted this year, but the Kings that are at their peak and will 100% win the championship as long as they leave the Western Conference.

    But Zhang Hao still beat them.

    Western Conference, this is your own land!

    However, watching Odom start a street dance with Artest who was about to play on the sidelines to send Artest off to the court, Zhang Hao knew that this voice did not scare Odom away.

    The SuperSonics players naturally got excited immediately, and their opponents also got excited.

    "Wolf Roar (Gold) is triggered, and the players participating in this game enter a state of high emotion, regardless of the enemy or friend. The specific effect depends on the personality factors of the players participating in the game"

    The Mavericks players had different reactions to Zhang Hao's roar. Some were excited, such as Finley, who had long been eager to play against Zhang Hao in the playoffs; some were unhappy, Divac and White Chocolate; some felt '  Idols are awesome, such as Nowitzki

    The Mavericks are on the rise. At this time, the overall mood is upward.

    Every player on the Mavericks is eager to win the championship.

    Although the Mavericks felt a lot of pressure when facing the SuperSonics.

    Just looking at Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, the Mavericks players felt tremendous pressure.

    The former is the strongest in the offensive league, and the latter is the strongest in the defensive league. Together with Artest, who can cut, shoot, pass, and control Although he is not proficient in everything, he has a lot of muscles and can do a little bit of everything.

    These three frontcourts are so strong!

    but!

    White Chocolate and Nowitzki, the two core players are all young players, and other players are also eager to win the championship. Facing the Sonics, there is pressure, but more excitement.

    If they can end the Sonics' two consecutive championships, that feeling they will feel happy just thinking about it!

    Furthermore, of the two conference finals teams in the Eastern Conference, one has been struggling for a season and is not as strong as last season, while the other can only be said to have just reached the level of a championship team

    As long as the Sonics end their two consecutive championships, it basically means they have won the championship!

    ¡­¡­

    The Mavericks sent out a starting lineup of White Chocolate, Finley, Adrian Griffin, Nowitzki, and Divac.

    The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Cassell, Brent Barry, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace.

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Divac worked very hard, extremely hard, especially hard The jump ball was still lost to Ben Wallace.

    The SuperSonics attack first!

    Cassel received a long pass from the jump ball. Ben Wallace won the jump ball and cut in the middle. Artest went down from the right side. Brent Barry followed Cassel's pass and went along the middle.  Follow up, follow up to the top arc position after Ben Wallace cuts in the middle The fast break cooperates tacitly!

    But the Mavericks really guarded the Sonics' fast break this time!

    Nowitzki did not stand on either side of the midline. When Divac jumped the ball, Nowitzki stood directly on the right side of his own three-second zone.

    Finley and Adrian Griffin also blocked Zhang Hao's pass very well. White Chocolate bypassed Ben Wallace's receiving line in the middle, and Divac turned around and ran back, blocking the follow-up pass at the top arc.  Brent Barry¡­

    The Mavericks¡¯ 5-and-4 defense is very good!

    Artest received the ball and immediately attacked the frame. Nowitzki squatted under the basket in advance. Artest was unable to make a move. He withdrew and passed to Brent Barry, who was receiving the ball. Brent Barry  There was no chance to shoot, and Artest's pass to Brent Barry was slow. The Mavericks had already made defensive adjustments. Divac took back the inside and White Chocolate switched to Brent Barry.

    &?!

    33 to 30, a surprising situation occurred. The Mavericks relied on defense to overtake the SuperSonics by 3 points!

    The good news is that in the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, Zhang Hao scored 8 points and went on an 8-4 run to help the Sonics regain the lead.

    At the end of the half, thanks to Zhang Hao¡¯s 23 points in the half, the SuperSonics entered the second half with a 1-point lead over the Mavericks 38-37!

    ¡­¡­

    A wise man may make a mistake, and the Sonics encountered this situation this time.

    Not only the coaching staff, but no one among the players thought that the Mavericks would have such tactical preparations. Combined with Nelson's historically top on-the-spot adaptability, the current situation is beyond the control of the Sonics!

    They may regain control of the initiative in the next game, because the Sonics are not prepared for such changes that may occur in the Mavericks. After playing one game this time, they will have experience next time.

    But according to this trend, the rhythm of the entire Western Conference Finals may become uncontrollable!

    The depth of the Mavericks' lineup is great, better than the Kings' 8-man rotation. The strongest lineup may not be as good as the Kings, but the depth is really good.

    This allows Nelson, a coach who dares to think, dare to do, and has outstanding ability, to make very good adjustments!

    In the third quarter, Zhang Hao scored 14 points in a single quarter, but still failed to fully drive the team's offense. The team scored 22 points in a single quarter, while the Mavericks scored 23 points in the third quarter.

    After three quarters, the two teams were tied at 60!

    The Sonics now feel like they are reaping the consequences. They are playing at such a pace with the goal of competing for stars, but Nowitzki, Van Exel, and Finley all took turns to play singles and score, and they all performed very well.  , on the contrary, Cassel, Artest and others did not play well and could only rely on Zhang Hao to support them.

    However, everyone else in the game now has different ideas from Zhang Hao.

    Others¡¯ thoughts are that the Sonics can only rely on Zhang Hao to support them.

    And Zhang Hao

    ¡®I actually managed to hold it. I thought I had to kneel down for a game first, like playing G2 against the Kings. In this case System boss, turn on the hot state!'

 Chapter 561 561. What is the King of the Western Conference?  (6000 words please vote)

    The course of the game was unexpected, and Zhang Hao did not expect it to end like this.

    He was not impatient.

    Such a situation will definitely happen. Sooner or later, after fighting for so many years, I will not be impatient just because of this accident.

    If you really lose at g1, then you lose.

    Now, the stability of mentality, the stability of playing style, the stability of everything are the most important.

    However, he still underestimated how powerful the ¡®optimal state¡¯ that can only be found in theory is!

    In the first three quarters, the Sonics took 59 shots. These 59 shots refer to successful shots and do not include fouls and free throws. Of course, even if a three-pointer is scored and 3 points are scored, it is only one shot.

    Scored 60 points in 59 shots. This efficiency is appallingly low!

    With 23 of 59 shots, including 4 of 12 three-pointers, and 10 of 13 free throws, the Sonics scored 60 points and shot 38%

    This efficiency is not to mention the whole team, even if one player achieves this efficiency, the higher the data, the greater the hindrance to the team!

    But Zhang Hao¡¯s shooting performance in the first three quarters was 14 of 27, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws, for 37 points in the three quarters!

    Zhang Hao still had no specific concept before, after all, he only used it once last season.

    Now he finally knows that with this medal, the stronger he becomes, the more terrifying he will become in the Western Conference Finals!

    ¡®The King of Western Jue, this is the king!  ¡¯

    ¡­¡­

    Do the ultrasound speed, open up a new era!

    The final quarter of the game was about to begin, and the Mavericks sent out a combination of Van Exel, Laga Bell, Adrian Griffin, Edondo Najera, and Divac.

    After playing the first three quarters, the confidence of the Mavericks players is getting higher and higher!

    They can feel that they are gradually taking control of the initiative.

    Not to mention the Mavericks, the fans and commentators in front of the TV all discovered this situation. Even the SuperSonics fans at the scene had to admit that the rhythm was gradually controlled by the Mavericks.

    They didn¡¯t expect this at all, and the Sonics didn¡¯t have enough countermeasures.

    Of course, not responding makes Zhang Hao more clear-cut, otherwise even if he is in good condition, he will still be in trouble.

    But this exposed a problem with the Sonics' iron-blooded style of play - success depends on hard power, and failure may also be due to hard power.

    The Sonics players now feel that the situation tonight is out of control.

    It is actually very different from the Kings relying on their stars to win a game in the second round of G2. The Mavericks relied on defense to make their stars perform better than the overall performance of the Sonics stars!

    Old Nelson¡¯s brains and courage were all reflected in this game.

    It¡¯s really awesome!

    The SuperSonics sent out a combination of Arroyo, Ginobili, Artest, Kirilenko, and Zhang Hao, one big and four small, to take the lead first, and then give it to Ben Wallace, Cassel, O  Dom creates breaks.

    Fox Sports commentator Wilkins said upon seeing this: "Just like when they played the Kings, the Sonics still remained calm and were not affected by their opponents. This is very important for the current style of play of the Sonics"

    The Sonics' style of play is very simple, so simple that it doesn't require too much speculation. Even fans who can't understand the situation can understand the current situation of the Sonics by listening to the simplest analysis.

    As Wilkins said, the Sonics were not greatly affected by the opponent's performance.

    There is definitely an impact, but it is far from what the Sonics players and coaching staff can bear.

    The success in the second round and Zhang Hao¡¯s crazy performance in the Western Conference Finals are all sources of confidence.

    The Sonics now expect the Mavericks' defensive status to be affected as the game progresses.

    Yes, the Sonics are expecting the Mavericks to perform poorly, and it is a very reasonable expectation

    The final quarter of the game begins, and the Sonics attack first.

    Come up, Zhang Hao is like an iron.

    The wave is a bit too much, and the hot feeling is not how it is played.

    But it¡¯s not important, just keep on guarding, this is just an experiment.

    The fiery feeling effect of the ¡®King of the Western Conference Finals¡¯ in a single quarter will not be affected by the strike, but will only be affected by the cumulative score. Zhang Hao is calculating this opportunity to grasp it well.

    The best case scenario is that in the final quarter, if Zhang alone scores 20 points and the opponent's team scores less than 20 points, then they win.

    But the Mavericks¡¯ first attack in the final quarter didn¡¯t look like the score would be particularly low. Van Exel??I made an emergency stop in the left top corner and took a mid-range shot

    It seems like a waste, but in fact, Zhang Hao's defensive judgment was extremely good. He turned around and made a sudden stop jumper at this point. The Mavericks did not have Edondo Najera, Laga Bell, or Adrian Gerard.  RiffenDivac is in the paint and can't make up for it!

    Zhang Hao made the best shot and made a jumper from the free throw line!

    54 points, starting from the last 2+1, scoring 3 goals in a row, 'Kobe time' triggered!

    81 to 75, the SuperSonics' lead expanded to 6 points!

    The Mavericks players are really going crazy, everything is so sudden.

    Just a few minutes, and suddenly, they collapsed!

    But regardless of their offense and defense, they were no different from the previous two and a half quarters. They defended the Sonics very well as a whole, and their offense was not too bad. They just didn't score in two rounds.

    Then we fell behind by 6 points!

    I can¡¯t react at all!

    Even, I didn¡¯t react after that

    At 7 minutes and 11 seconds, Finley's single point shot, Divac hit a layup, 77 to 81, the Mavericks narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

    Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao hit the defense with a back-up jump shot.

    At 7 minutes and 47 seconds, White Chocolate caught the ball from the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer.

    At 8 minutes and 06 seconds, Zhang Hao moved to receive Odom's pass and hit a three-pointer from the sideline.

    86 to 80, with less than 4 minutes left in the game, the SuperSonics still lead by 6 points!

    A 6-point difference is really not much for the Mavericks. Look at what kind of magical score they scored against the Lakers in the second round.

    But the Kings offense is no worse than the Mavericks. When the Kings faced the SuperSonics, they were just as miserable.

    It¡¯s the Mavericks¡¯ offense again. This time, Finley was flanked in singles and missed the shot.

    Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound and advanced quickly, and the fans at the scene started cheering crazily!

    The Mavericks players are a bit confused, there are still more than 3 minutes left in the game!  Although the point difference is down to 6 points, the Mavericks don't have no chance, right?

    They also have the so-called "pure technical skills + large version of Ritian", which is likely to rise. The Lakers felt it in the second round.

    But the fans at the scene seemed to have already won No, they were more excited than winning the game!

    At this time, Zhang Hao quickly advanced to the outside of the top arc, and regardless of Divac, he took a three-pointer

    Zhang Hao was knocked over and the referee's whistle sounded. Not only that, the ball he threw went into the basket!

    Divac was the first to react, but still failed to stop it. Not only did he fail to stop it, he also committed a foul!

    62 points!  Zhang Hao scored 62 points, and he still needs to be punished!

    To be precise, Zhang Hao started at the 5th and a half minutes of the last quarter. Until now, in more than 3 minutes, he has taken 7 quick shots and made all of them. One of the three three-pointers was a 3+1 plus penalty.  Free throws, two 2+1s, plus two two-pointers, scored 19 points in more than 3 minutes, directly beating the Mavericks!

    The Mavericks didn¡¯t do anything wrong, they did everything to the extreme. They were already sure of victory, but Zhang Hao snatched the victory away!

    Amid the crazy calls of ¡®mvp¡¯ at the scene, Zhang Hao also hit the extra penalty!

    The score was 90 to 80, with the SuperSonics leading the Mavericks by 10 points!

    The Mavericks called a timeout!

    With 23 of 39 shots, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 12 of 13 free throws, Zhang Hao scored 63 points!

    The last time a player scored 60+ points in a single game in the playoffs was in the 1985-1986 playoffs. The 23-year-old Jordan faced the Celtics in the playoffs that year. Although he lost, he became  Besides Elgin Baylor, he was the second player to score 60+ points in a single game in the playoffs, and broke Elgin Baylor's 61 points in a single game with 63 points.

    Now, this record has been tied by Zhang Hao!

    The 20-second pause ended quickly, and Zhang Hao did not take a break.

    63 points, with more than 3 minutes left, of course it is impossible to rest!

    In the last 3 minutes or so, Zhang Hao played more aggressively offensively and threw 4 more times in 3 minutes I wanted to throw more, but the Mavericks learned that Zhang Hao scored 63 points to tie the NBA historical record, even if it was  His fan brother Germany Ritian also had a crazy mentality.

    In 4 attacks, 3 of them were successful and 1 was scored. Once was fouled and both free throws were scored.

    The Mavericks have no intention of attacking anymore and are frantically attacking Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao can throw these 4 times, he has tried his best!

    In the end, as Zhang Hao missed a three-pointer from the center line, the final whistle sounded!

    The entire Key Arena has gone completely crazy, and the entire arena is partying!

    Only Zhang Hao scores for the SuperSonics. Others are looking for Zhang Hao even if they grab offensive rebounds, and they don't hesitate to make mistakes.

    But even if the Mavericks were like this, they only scored 2 points in more than 3 minutes. On the one hand, the Sonics were fully defensive and trying to create opportunities for Zhang Hao to counterattack. On the other hand, the Mavericks themselves had a broken mentality.

    In this game, everyone else¡¯s shooting percentage was over 30%. Van Exel, Ben Wallace, and Nowitzki all shot below 44%.

    Ben Wallace only made 3 of 7 shots.

    As a result, Zhang Hao made 24 of 42 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, plus 14 of 15 free throws, soaring 67 points!

    Under the leadership of Zhang Hao, the SuperSonics defeated the Mavericks 94-82 and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals!

    When the TV commentators shouted that the Sonics had won a big victory, it felt like it was the other day.

    You know, five minutes into the fourth quarter, the TV commentators were still saying that the Mavericks had taken the initiative and that the Mavericks would seal the victory after the official timeout.

    But the result was that the Sonics beat the Mavericks!

    In less than 7 minutes of the last quarter, Zhang Hao made 8 of 10 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, soaring 24 points!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????: 6 points scored in the first 5 minutes 30 points in a single quarter!

    Zhang Hao set a new NBA historical record and became the first player to score 30+ points in a single quarter in the playoffs!

    With 30 points in the final quarter, Zhang Hao surpassed Jordan and set a new playoff single-game scoring record - 67 points!

    The moment the final whistle sounded, the media immediately rushed into the stadium. Before that, there was some commotion inside and outside the Key Stadium. Unknown to the stadium, all nearby reporters who had not had the opportunity to enter the stadium for interviews and filming rushed in.  A fierce conflict with the arrangement

    Those are not important. On the court side, Zhang Hao was listening to the reporters¡¯ chirping questions and couldn¡¯t hear clearly at all. These people were too excited.

    Zhang Hao himself was also excited, but the most exciting moment was when he tied with Jordan with more than 3 minutes left. At that time, thinking that there were still more than 3 minutes to set a new record, he was so excited that he was boiling.

    Now, it¡¯s great, but 3 points behind

    On the other side, the Mavericks players, Nowitzki was completely shrouded in Buddha light

    Now that Divac meets Zhang Hao, he will still fight to the end.

    But after losing, he didn¡¯t feel too much resentment. Looking at Zhang Hao with 67 points he felt that being a bargaining chip in Zhang Hao¡¯s trade was not a shameful thing, but rather very honorable!

    &nbspIn fact, the Mavericks had opportunities every game, but they failed to seize them. In G4, even after the official timeout in the second quarter, there was an avalanche

    This is actually not to blame Nowitzki alone. The Mavericks team is becoming less and less confident as the team plays. In the situation of G1, when the morale was at its highest and the fighting spirit was at its highest, the league's number one man was lazy and cut him off  But as a leader, Nowitzki cannot escape the blame, and that's no problem.

    After 4 games, Nowitzki averaged 18.3 points per game, 37% shooting rate, and 31% three-point shooting rate. It was indeed bad enough. The more he played, the more he fell down. Among them, Odom and Zhang Hao gave Nowitzki  Continuing restrictions, increasing restrictions, are also important.

    In g2 and g3, the SuperSonics' performance was very interesting.

    In both games, only two Sonics players scored in double figures. Zhang Hao scored more than 20 points, Artest and Cassell each scored in double figures once. The rest of the scores were scattered. The team focused on defense.  There are opportunities to throw decisively most of the throws fail, but on the basis of good defense, it is enough.

    In g4, Zhang Hao scored the highest score for the Sonics with 25 points. Seven players on the team scored in double figures and overturned the Mavericks, who had no defensive motivation at the beginning of the second quarter.

    Throughout the Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao averaged 37.75 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 4 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, undoubtedly the best in the series.

    Second best performance Ben Wallace!

    Averaging 6.5 points, 19.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.5 blocks per game, averaging 20 rebounds per game just shy of 2 rebounds, 20+ rebounds twice in 4 games, becoming the most solid backing behind Zhang Hao.

    ¡­¡­

    On May 31, the Bulls narrowly defeated the Nets 104-101 at home and dragged the Eastern Conference Finals into G6.

    No one expected that G1 could see that the Bulls were not as strong as the Nets. As a result, the Bulls faced the Nets and lasted longer than the Mavericks faced the SuperSonics!

    This year¡¯s finals are expected to be played earlier than last year. Some experts ridiculed that the league¡¯s extension of the length of the playoffs has made it lonely.

    At this time, calls for ¡®no-handcheak¡¯ began to appear again.

    Although being able to defend can also restrict Zhang Hao, for Zhang Hao, there seems to be no big difference between having this restriction and not having it

    On June 2, the Nets returned home to face the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals G6.

    In this game, people witnessed history!

    After the Bulls trailed by 11 points 13-24 in the first quarter, Kobe, who took 7 shots in the first quarter, took 40 crazy shots in the next three quarters, 47 shots in a single game, breaking Jordan's historical record of 45 shots in a single game in the playoffs!

    Kobe made only 17 of 47 shots. Although he scored 51 points, which set a new personal playoff scoring high in a single game. He previously scored 50 points in a single game as a sophomore. Unfortunately, the Bulls only scored 81 points.

    In the end, the Nets steadily defeated the Bulls 95-81, beating the Bulls 4-2 to advance to the finals and meet the SuperSonics led by former Nets rookie Zhang Hao!

 Chapter 34 34. Basically, go to the United States!  (asking for recommendation votes)

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT

    To him now, spending an extra $7.5 is nothing. Before he could buy a large pizza with enough ingredients and delicious food. He really couldn't bear it before.

    After finishing training and taking a shower, Zhang Hao rode on his newly purchased bicycle and came to a physical therapy center near the Great Western Forum Arena. When he came back yesterday, he came to the Great Western Forum to see the Lakers, who were said in the news to be preparing for a lockout.  The team is just a drop-in, and the main thing is to make an appointment with a physical therapist, who comes for physical therapy every afternoon.

    This is what he wants, and it is necessary to undergo physical therapy after training. Although he is still young and has been exercising, he may be fine when he wakes up, but youth is not a reason to squander his body Mainly because he has money now  , the physical therapy cost of tens of dollars is affordable.

    The purpose of earning money is to do good to yourself and your family. If you want to live a smooth life until old age and death, you must have a healthy body and have a long career as a player and coach.

    Although it hurts, when he came to the United States, the average salary in Beijing was only 500 to 600, and the highest in Shanghai was only a little over 700. One day of physical therapy would cost a month's salary in Beijing, but this money must be spent.

    When he shouldn't spend money randomly, he can listen to suggestions. When he judges that money must be spent, he pays the expenses decisively even though it hurts. Thanks to his family being rich before, otherwise the two situations would probably be reversed¡ª¡ª  Spend money when you need it, and be stingy when you need it.

    ¡­¡­

    At the Great Western Forum Arena, Jerry West watched all the player-related things in the arena being put away. He was very helpless. Compared with those bosses, he was more pure in basketball mainly when he was playing.  I don't make any money at all, and I don't make as much as I do now as a general manager, so I just feel uncomfortable with this kind of struggle for interests.

    It is estimated that starting from July 1st, they will not be able to use this arena for at least a month. Jerry West and other staff gathered their things, got in the boss's son's car, and went back to the Time Warner training facility.

    Back at the Time Warner training facility, Jerry West asked Jim Buss next to him: "What are Jim, Garnett and Zhang doing after they were drafted?"

    Jim Buss doesn¡¯t know why Jerry West pays so much attention to these two high school students, but he respects this big boss who supports him in fighting Jenny Buss, and he will naturally try his best to do what he is told.  , if he wants to compete with his eldest sister for power, his ability is too far behind, and he must have the support of other management members of the team. Fortunately, Jerry West and Mitch Kupchak both support him But even if  In this way, they can only compete with Jenny Buss. Jenny Buss' ability is too strong, and her charisma has turned his younger brother into a scumbag.

    Jim Buss took out the report sent back by the scouts from his bag and said: "Garnett signed a three-year, 5.4 million contract with the Timberwolves on the night he was selected, and is currently choosing a good school for his sister.  There is no latest trend in private high schools; Zhang signed a three-year, 4 million contract with the Nets the morning before yesterday. He returned to Los Angeles yesterday and has started training at Inglewood High School today. This morning he also passed the player  The union issued a message to recruit agents

    Jerry, why do you care so much about these two high school students?  "

    "I want to know what these talented high school students who can be selected will do after they are selected, and observe their situation." Jerry West responded.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t their team reject our chips?¡±

    "You have to try more. What if you succeed? If you don't try, you will never succeed. We apply for a trade to a team with 100 talented players. Even if we succeed only once, there is no harm to us"

    Jerry West is very helpless. This young master can't do anything, and he is the first to be jealous of his boss.

    If Johnny Buss, the boss¡¯s eldest son, was willing to take over the old Buss property, Jerry West would never get involved with Jim Buss to his death.

    But Johnny Buss didn't want to inherit the family business, so he went to establish a league with a group of wealthy basketball enthusiasts, and also reached an agreement with the NBA. It is estimated that in two years, a women's version of the NBA will be created  .

    This does not reflect Johnny Buss' ability. What reflects his ability is that he and Toyota have reached an agreement to build a brand new arena in the next three years. It is not just a training venue, but  Having a real basketball stadium that can accommodate more than 6,000 spectators will serve as the Lakers' new training facility and the home court of UCL. This business capability is no less than that of Jeanie Buss.

    But Johnny Buss took care of Los Angeles City Hall, NBA, UCL, and Toyota?Investorsin all aspects, are not for the Lakers, or the first goal is not for the Lakers, but for the women's basketball team they established. After the future women's version of the NBA league is established, this arena will become its owner.  The team's home stadium.

    Jerry West was very good at judging people. He knew that Bass still wanted to leave his property to his son rather than his daughter, so he chose Jim Buss as his assistant. If Johnny Buss was willing to take over,  The Lakers, he won't get involved with the owner's stupid son.

    This guy has no structure at all and has no vision. But Jerry West is used to it. Not only does this stupid son of the boss have no long-term vision, he doesn't even know what to do now. He obviously went to see it together that day.  In the Adidas Training Camp Classic, Garnett and Zhang Hao's talents that are visible to the naked eye can't be seen!

    Jerry West accidentally classified the general managers and scouts of most teams in the league into the ranks of Jim Buss

    However, Jerry West doesn¡¯t understand how the Timberwolves and Nets got the courage to bet on a high school student?

    He had long known about the Timberwolves' draft commitment to Garnett through some channels, so he gave up on selecting Garnett from the beginning, and instead prepared to take a chance on Zhang Hao. Even he was gambling on his luck, and the Nets unexpectedly  He was really puzzled when he selected Zhang Hao with the 9th overall pick. He still can't figure out where the Nets got their courage.

    Jerry West put this matter aside for the time being and said to Jim Buss: "Jim, you and Mickey are going to increase their efforts in Orlando, and be careful. You have to hide yourself well. You can't  It was discovered by others that we were guiding public opinion.¡±

    Hearing Jerry West's answer, Jim Buss nodded: "I understand"

    Think about it when assigning work to Kupchak. Kupchak could easily guess the purpose and know what he was going to do. But when assigning work to the boss¡¯s silly son, he had to be reminded of everything, but he had to let Jim know.  - Bass got involved, and after the goal was achieved, when he finally reported to the big boss, he had to give most of the credit to Jim Bass, so that it would be possible to help the unsupportable prince to the throne.

    I¡¯m so tired!

    However, although Jim Buss has no ability, his execution ability is good, especially things like intrigues and gossiping behind his back. Jim Buss is quite talented, so talented that Jerry West feels that Jim  -Bass should have been born in the harem of an ancient dynasty. It would be better to change the gender, so that Jim Bass' talents can be fully utilized

    It was the attitude of the Nets that surprised Jerry West. When the other team heard about Ceballos' bargaining chip, they immediately rejected it and expected to increase the stakes in the future. Fortunately, they had saved a lot of money in the past few years.  Less chips.

    ¡­¡­

    On Zhang Hao's side, I don't know that the Nets have already held a round of negotiations with the Lakers. The Lakers are willing to trade Ceballos for him and are willing to increase the amount. Otherwise, they will definitely cry and make noises to play in the Lakers. It is always better not to move.  After living in Los Angeles for three years, he is obviously more accustomed to life here Of course, the most important thing is that he clearly knows what a team's attitude is towards him.

    Only by focusing on his team can he have a sense of stability and security. What he needs most now is stability.

    Sometimes not knowing one thing makes life more comfortable. Zhang Hao is training hard now in order to occupy his own playing time and gain a firm foothold with the Nets in the new season.

    After a week of training, he clearly felt that his strength was getting stronger!  The strength evaluation also increased rapidly from 76 to 79, reaching a big bottleneck!

    The bottleneck thing is what Zhang Hao discovered when he used the CIC Growth Card before. The difficulty of improving from 79 to 80 and the length of training required are even more difficult and require longer training than those from 80 to 81.

    What surprised him the most was that the increase in strength during this period did not affect his speed and flexibility!

    The most awesome effect of Growth Card is reproduced!

 Chapter 56 56. The coaching staff wants to go crazy (please vote for me and recommend me!)

    I didn¡¯t say more than two sentences in a game, but the last sentence was so embarrassing!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s voice was loud, and his teammates all consciously gathered around Zhang Hao.

    On the other hand, Larry Johnson was all alone with the Hornets, and he chose to turn around and leave.

    It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid of a large group of people on the other side. He got angry and dared to attack everyone on the opposite side by himself.

    But, he lost!

    That rookie single-handedly sealed the victory at the critical moment!

    Kenny Anderson breathed a sigh of relief - it¡¯s not easy to be the boss!

    ¡­¡­

    The next morning, Zhang Hao got up early again.

    I secretly drank again last night, and my teammates ran out to hang out after the game. Charlotte is a great place. The city is not prosperous, but it is a seaside city with a large green area and a good environmentthere are more beautiful girls.  There is an NBA team and the nightclub business is booming. Not to mention Charlotte, the richest city in North Carolina. The town of Rutherford, although it looks like an urban-rural fringe, is full of flowers in the fields.  with wild flowers.

    Celebrating the victory is second, and the other thing is that the eight main players discovered some of the coaching staff's ideas, and Zhang Hao also knew about it, so he took the players with non-guaranteed contracts and players with training camp contracts out to drink wine. Perhaps, some teammates passed by  You don't see them again after a few days, and even if they have different positions on the team, some of them have become friends with some of them.

    Zhang Hao felt Mike Bibby¡¯s mentality this time

    However, due to his age, Zhang Hao has few contacts with other people, so this does not exist.

    It¡¯s quite cruel. When a person becomes a friend, has a heart-to-heart relationship with someone, sometimes it really depends on their location. People who are not on the same path may never be able to get close to each other.

    Looking at the wine bottle on the bedside tableKenny Anderson brought it back last night. He said he wanted to treat Zhang Hao to a drink, so he actually brought the wine back, but he didn't drink too much. Zhang Hao only drank half a glass, because it was just  He poured half a cup, and the rest was drank by Jason Williams, who came to the room of Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson.

    500 US dollars!

    Jason Williams took a technical foul in order to stand up for Zhang Hao and was fined $500. On the contrary, Zhang Hao was canceled the technical foul after the game. It was a provocation without specific actions. If this caused a conflict, he would be called a technical foul during the game.  Technical fouls are committed, but mainly to appease the players of the other team, but they are often laughed at after the game, and the technical fouls of the players who actually made actual actions will be confirmed.

    These days, the scale is huge!

    But Jason Williams loves to drink. He originally came to Zhang Hao¡¯s room to ask Zhang Hao for reimbursement, but when he saw the wine, he forgot about it.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hao became happy again.

    Recalling what I said after the game last night, if one day I play well, it will become a famous saying - but it is just a preseason game, but winning is as exciting as winning the playoffs

    Zhang Hao thought about it carefully and felt a trace of sadness.

    But at least, they have not lost their fighting spirit. At least, they still want to win. At least they can still win the game if they work hard!

    As for how many games you can win, does it matter?

    Maybe it¡¯s important, but before the start of the training camp, the team¡¯s desire to survive was as quiet as dead water. Now everyone is trying their best to taste the taste of victory How many games can be won is no longer important.

    The important thing is that they want to win!

    Well, there are still problems. For example, they didn't pay much attention to the Hornets for half the game. They won so hard, and it was a 9-man rotation, and none of the players who couldn't play were replaced, while the Hornets had no one in the first half.  A total of 17 players were rotated.

    The only time the Hornets really took the game seriously was from the beginning of the third quarter to the end of the game.

    But that¡¯s not important either¡­

    As long as everything is moving in a good direction.

    ??There will always be times when we lose, and no matter how strong a team is, there will be times when we lose. Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, there has never been a complete victory, let alone the Nets?

    What Zhang Hao hopes is that his team can maintain a good mentality even after losing and not collapse.

    ¡­¡­

    26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal, and a near-win!  Zhang Hao was in the news again after the game!

    This data, even in the preseason, is good enough for a rookie, and it is also a controversial high school rookie like Zhang Hao.

    Antonio McDyess and Damon Stoudemire, the two favorites for the Rookie of the Year award, were both overshadowed by Zhang HaoSi, Chris, what do you mean by coach?  If you want to maintain good discipline, this is not how you should do it, right?  "

    "Childs shook his head.

    Zhang Hao did not answer the question and asked: "Were there any ward rounds last night?"

    "Checked it!"

    "I also got a knock on the door, and it wasn't even 11 o'clock."

    Zhang Hao was puzzled: "I didn't. I waited until 11:30 on purpose, otherwise I would have gone to bed early."

    Kenny Anderson and Childs looked at each other, both understanding the meaning of each other's eyes, but did not say anything.

    There are many people sitting together and discussing like the three of them.

    After a while, Butch Baird came.

    As usual, Butch Baird said with a kind smile: "Yesterday we announced a new rule. I discussed it with the management and felt it was necessary. We need to establish a good team environment.

    I¡¯m glad that everyone here has complied with the rules.  "

    Everyone here

    Zhang Hao looked aroundit seemed like someone was missing!  Only 19 players!

    Butch Baird deliberately took some time, paused for a while, and then continued: "It's a pity that there are still people who don't abide by such simple rules. Although I am very sorry and regretful, rules are rules, Gerald Guerra  Si failed to comply with the team's rules. There was a game today, but he didn't come back even one night last night, so I made a decision. The team has officially terminated Gerald Glass' contract."

 Chapter 74 74. It¡¯s really possible (please vote for me and recommend me)

    Zhang Hao is active in defense and has the conditions to defend, but he cannot defend.

    I can keep up with the pace, but it¡¯s easy to stumble.

    It¡¯s not that he wants to be shaken away. He works very hard and can make up for it when assisting in defense. However, his lack of experience makes it easy to be fooled by the opponent¡¯s fake moves.

    This is something the Nets all know.

    Randy Whitman doesn¡¯t have much expectations for Zhang Hao¡¯s defense. As a rookie, his defense is almost useless. The defensive end needs time to polish.

    But this time, pj-Brown discovered the characteristics of Zhang Hao when he occasionally succeeds on the defensive end - being able to withstand the opponent's impact.

    It¡¯s not that outstanding athletic ability. In fact, his help defense is quite bad. If the defense is not good, it is of little use.

    No one in the Nets noticed that Zhang Hao did a great job in carrying outside attacks, even better than PJ Brown and Jason Williams!

    Because Zhang Hao looks too thin.

    Hearing what PJ Brown said, Randy Whitman thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case.

    Let¡¯s give it a try. The worst that happens is that Zhang Hao will be beaten again. Anyway, he has already been beaten for half a quarter.

    Just like that, Randy Whitman was ready to push Zhang Hao into the frying pan again.

    With their thinking opened up, Randy Whitman also discovered their problem in the first half - the offensive purpose was unclear.

    It was very clear, but the Pistons' defense was better than expected. Thanks to Kenny Anderson's adaptability and his decisiveness in letting Almon Gilliam play more, otherwise they would probably have been counterattacked many times by Grant Hill.  , it would be impossible to keep the score with the Pistons, and the point difference would not be the 4 points it is now.

    The coaching staff predicted that the opponent might improve, but they didn¡¯t expect that the opponent would improve so much. Their strength is definitely not comparable to that of the Bulls and Pacers, but it is not worse than the Hornets at all.

    The good thing is that the Nets themselves are much better than they were in the training camp, from player status to team chemistry.

    The offensive end should be more clear

    The choice is much simpler now.

    With the calculation in mind, Randy Whitman called Zhang Hao who was already sitting down and said: "Akers, the offensive end will focus on your mid-range shot When defending, you guard the basket, yes, on the defensive end you will  Play center.¡±

    "Watt?"

    ¡­¡­

    The official timeout is almost over, and Zhang Hao and the combination of Childs, Edwards, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown come on the court.

    For the Pistons, the combination of Lynch Hunter, Alan Houston, Grant Hill, Don Reed, and Terry Mills came on the court.

    Zhang Hao thought he was about to be replaced, but his name was called. He ran over excitedly. When he heard that he was going to be played around him, his eyes lit up, but when he heard that the defensive end was playing center

    Before entering the NBA, he played small forward!  After entering the NBA, in the first regular season game, I played center directly.

    Regarding the defense of his own team, Zhang Hao felt so powerlessbut he couldn't make much contribution.

    So we can only try to open up the situation on the offensive end.

    On the other side, Grant Hill is ecstatic about the situation of his team!

    After changing the coaching staff, everything has become different!

    Although he never complained, he really felt that the previous coaching staff was not good.

    He played well in the preseason, but he didn¡¯t know what would happen in the regular season.

    But after the first half of the game, his confidence improved a lot. Facing a not-so-strong opponent like the Nets, Grant Hill was confident that he would be able to defeat the opponent.

    The referee blew the whistle to continue the game, and the Nets played the ball in the frontcourt.

    Zhang Hao sent the ball to Childs and then cut inside.

    pj-Brown is far away from the bottom line. He has a certain mid-range shot and his athletic ability brings a strong cutting threat. He is a good containment point and pie-eating insider.

    Jason Williams goes to the top of the arc to provide a pick-and-roll for Childs. This pick-and-roll combination is the core of the Nets' bench lineup.

    Grant Hill ran with Zhang Hao. His defensive goal assigned by assistant coach Scott Collins was to keep an eye on Zhang Hao and prevent Zhang Hao from catching the ball and shooting.

    But in the first half of the game, Zhang Hao didn't catch a single shot. As time went by, Grant Hill felt that the assistant coach was making a fuss. After seeing Jason Williams pick-and-roll, he pushed past Lynch Hunter, who was switching defense, and went straight to the basket. Grant Hill  When I followed Zhang Hao who was slipping through the baseline, I took a step up the line and stepped on the right sideline of the three-second zone. I was in a position where I could chase Zhang Hao and defend Jason Williams.

    Childs passed the ball to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao turned around, received the ball, and took off!

    ?With the ball in his hand, Alan Houston retreated a beat slower, otherwise he might not have been able to complete a single counterattack so easily, and might not have been able to trigger the second phase of acceleration of the "Dunk Master".

    After calming down the mood that was shocked by Zhang Hao's counterattack, Grant Hill picked up the ball and sent it to running back Lynch Hunter, and the Pistons attacked.

    Lynch Hunter advanced to the frontcourt and passed back to Grant Hill. The latter's play style was similar to the previous round, but he made a gesture to Don Reed before breaking through.

    When Grant Hill broke through, Don Redra went out to pick and roll Alan Houston. Alan Houston successfully got rid of Childs' clingy defense and made a mid-range shot.

    Don Reed is also a rookie this year. He was selected with the last pick in the second round. In terms of advantages, he only has two advantages: solid body and obedience.

    When Grant Hill passed the ball to Alan Houston, he called on his teammates to retreat quickly. Ratliff and Addis Thorpe were not there. They had no offensive ability, and they no longer wanted to press the defense. They retreated.  more important.

    It¡¯s the Nets¡¯ offense again and they continue to fall into a positional battle.

    Grant Hill put away the disdainful thoughts that came up when he came back from the timeout and followed Zhang Hao closely.

    On the other side, it is determined that the offense will be organized around Zhang Hao's mid-range shooter, and the Nets' cooperation has become easier. The play style around mid- and long-range shooters is already simpler.

    Childs and Jason Williams pick and roll. After Childs picks and rolls and moves to the left side of the top arc to take Don Reed away, he has two options. One is to pass to Jason Williams who cuts in.  , one is passed to Zhang Hao.

    This time Terry Mills shrank to the basket in time, blocking the space for Jason Williams to rush to the frame. Childs had two options. One was to pass to PJ Brown in the middle distance of the left baseline.  , he chose another one and passed it to Zhang Hao, who ran out from the basket to the right at a 45-degree angle!

    Zhang Hao received the ball with his back to the basket. He took a step forward with his left foot. He turned around while moving his body. After his right foot landed, he exerted force with both feet at the same time. He faced the basket and took off. Following the inertia, he slid out towards the outside.  a mid-range shot from a position one step inside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right!

    Grant Hill followed closely. If Zhang Hao caught the ball and turned around to shoot, he would have no room to move and could only force the shot. But this turn created a good opportunity for shooting.

    The feel is also good, and the adequate warm-up before the game played an important role, and he hit a two-pointer with one step inside the three-point line!

    For this goal, the cooperation of teammates is crucial. Jason Williams cut into the middle after the pick-and-roll, and Childs moved to the left side of the top arc, taking away everyone around him. Edwards, one of the few players in the league who averages one shot per game,  An excellent pitcher who has scored at least one three-pointer and has a 40% shooting rate, his corner control is sufficient, giving him a very good space to make moves.

    In addition, Grant Hill never expected Zhang Hao to shoot like this.

    It looks easy to catch the ball and turn over for a jump shot, but it is actually very difficult. Core strength is extremely important.

    Coincidentally, with this lineup, Zhang Hao knew this trick again and successfully used it in the game.

    Almon Gilliam and Kenny Anderson were both replaced and rested. Grant Hill thought he could lead the team to widen the point difference. This defense just now, if it develops as expected, the Nets should have the ball.  Give PJ Brown a jump shot. For the Nets, whether or not to score is no different than watching the sky.

    He originally thought that when Scott Collins told him to target Zhang Hao, he was too flattering to Zhang Hao, or to think too highly of his former student. After these few rounds, he realized that not only did he not think highly of Zhang Hao, he also underestimated him!

    18 years old!  How is this practiced?

    When the Pistons attack, they succeeded in attacking in the last round. Of course, a successful offense must continue to attack in order to continue the successful offensive strategy and find more defensive loopholes in the opponent's defense.

    The Nets defended well this time. When Alan Houston used Don Reed to catch the ball in an off-ball pick-and-roll, PJ Brown blocked the mid-range in time. As a sophomore, he was almost selected for the best defensive team with his help defense alone.  Shown vividly.

    Alan Houston's mid-range shot was blocked, so he chose to break through with the ball. Seeing the thin Zhang Hao blocking him, he chose to meet the man!

    Alan Houston weighs 93 kilograms and Zhang Hao weighs 96 kilograms. The same is true when looking at the body shape comparison.

    Alan Houston thought that Zhang Hao relied on his height and wingspan advantage to defeat Don Reed before, but now that they bumped into each other, he realized that Zhang Hao was so fierce in the confrontation!  He jumped up to confront Zhang Hao, his movements deformed!  Zhang Hao slapped him out of bounds!

 Chapter 75 75. I am still a child!  (Please ask for monthly tickets and recommended votes)

    Zhang Hao blocked Alan Houston's breakthrough throw!

    After the shot landed, Zhang Hao also took two steps back due to the impact, but Alan Houston sat on the floor.

    Seeing Jason Williams rush up to high-five Zhang Hao excitedly, Alan Houston thought - are you kidding me?

    He pushed Zhang Hao back, but when he rushed up to push Zhang Hao back, he lost his balance due to the confrontation and fell to the ground!

    This rookie has the body of a master of assisting defense, and he is actually a rim-protecting inside man!

    Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Pistons head coach Doug Collins called a timeout.

    Their lineup has an advantage. They have two top scorers on the outside, but they were blocked twice in three attacks, which hurts morale too much.

    Doug Collins regretted it. If he had been bolder and directly selected Zhang Hao with the No. 8 pick, instead of wanting to get Edith Thorpe and also selecting Zhang Hao, he changed the No. 8 pick to No. 18 and  With the two picks at No. 19, this rookie is theirs.

    No matter how Zhang Hao plays in the rest of this game, with the talent he has shown in these rounds alone, it is simply not suitable to partner with Grant Hill!

    Looking at Zhang Hao, who was surrounded by his teammates, Doug Collins looked at his younger brother with complaining eyes.

    As soon as his brother's buttocks lifted up, Scott Collins knew whether he wanted to poop or fart.

    He looked at his brother innocently - I didn't expect that either!  He made rapid progress during that period, but I didn't expect him to progress so quickly!

    He really didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Hao¡¯s talent was even better than he knew!  When we get to the NBA, everyone is the best!

    Looking at his innocent brother, Doug Collins could only sigh silently - a younger brother is a younger brother after all.

    When calling this timeout, Doug Collins didn't make too many arrangements. Their strategy was right, the defense was already in place, and the offensive coordination was good. However, in the first half of the first quarter, their players found that their strength was much greater than last season.  After the amplitude was increased, it became a little careless.

    The problem now is that the opponent's morale is extremely high. Zhang Hao's two blocks caused a huge drop in morale on our side, so we called a timeout.

    On the other hand, Randy Whitman didn¡¯t expect the results to be so quick

    Since Zhang Hao still has a lot to develop on the offensive end, the coaching staff has no plans to let Zhang Hao practice hard on defense for the time being. This is the preparation for this season. He is only 18 years old. There will be plenty of time in the future. Just let Zhang Hao try his best to defend. If he makes a mistake, he will make a mistake.  , it doesn¡¯t matter.

    Who knew Zhang Hao could actually protect the frame!

    As a coach, Randy Whitman looks at players from a different perspective than the players, and arranges what everyone has to do from a different perspective than the players. This is definitely true.

    But sometimes, like PJ Brown, simply looking at a problem from the perspective of whether his teammates can do it is also a way to solve the problem.

    Randy Whitman felt it was too much to defend against a team with a strong inside line, and he was reluctant to let Zhang Hao, who was not yet 19 years old, defend a strong inside line. It would be better to let Jason Williams do that kind of thing.

    But the Pistons don¡¯t have a strong inside line, so it¡¯s just right for Zhang Hao to defend!

    Also, Zhang Hao¡¯s turnaround jump shot was really used in the game. He was not timid at all when facing Grant Hill, the strongest striker of the new generation!

    Randy Whitman made adjustments and replaced PJ Brown with Vaughn Fleming to give PJ Brown a rest. Childs, Edwards, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao continued to play.  .

    Rather than being determined to strengthen the defense just because Zhang Hao has made great achievements on the defensive end, he chose to strengthen the offense.

    Because he knows that no matter how the defensive end is strengthened, the pick-and-roll combination + Zhang Hao has the potential to improve the team's offense, which is more important to the Nets.

    ¡­¡­

    Returning to the court, Zhang Hao felt that he had entered the state.

    Even PJ Brown went down. As the tallest player on the field, Zhang Hao accepted this fate.  ©»(t©nt)©¿

    Grant Hill looked at Zhang Hao. After this timeout, he really looked at Zhang Hao's strength.

    The rookie was still trembling when the game was about to start. He originally thought that the rookie was scared, but now he knew that the rookie was trembling with excitement!

    They are all young players, and Grant Hill also wants to compete with Zhang Hao.

    The timeout ended and the Pistons continued to attack with the ball in the frontcourt and 9 seconds left in the attack time.

    Grant Hill started to exert his strength. Faced with Vaughn Fleming's defense, he directly broke through. When he encountered the help of Jason Williams, he changed direction. It was easy.Without the mistake, they might have scored two more points. The credit was that the Pistons didn't fight back after that mistake, otherwise it's unclear whether they could take the lead now.

    However, Zhang Hao is very happy to help the team lead the score. His role is reflected in scoring, containing, and occasionally passing the ball with inspiration.

    There was also a transition ball today, and it turned into Childs' final three-pointer.

    The teammates are also very happy, even excited!  They realize they underestimated themselves.

    There are times when the Nets are strong, and they are not far apart. In the 1993-94 season, they were still a playoff-level team under the leadership of Chuck Daly.

    It's just that the Nets management was not willing to be just a first-round team in the playoffs. When the news spread in the NBA that "Duncan's talent is unparalleled," they decisively changed coaches in the summer of 1994 and started to mess up, like Almon-  Gilliam, Jason Williams, PJ Brown, Kenny Anderson and others all played in the playoffs in the 1993-94 season, and they were all the main players. They felt that the Pistons had the Eastern Conference playoffs.  level of strength.

    And they are currently leading, which means they themselves have underestimated their own strength.

    Not too strong, but definitely not as weak as they think!  Because the opponent's Grant Hill had 8 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, and Alan Houston had 7 points and 1 rebound in a single quarter. Both of them played very hard, and they were definitely not lucky.

    But they really have the possibility of making the playoffs!

    Although it is difficult and progress still needs to be made, it is possible, which is better than impossible!

    ¡­¡­

    After the intersection, the Nets sent out a combination of Childs, Edwards, Almon Gilliam, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown.

    For the Pistons, the combination of Joe Dumars, Michael Curry, Grant Hill, Terry Mills, and Mark West came on the court.

    Grant Hill will average 38 minutes per game in his rookie year. When he starts winning in his second year, playing 40 minutes will definitely become the norm.

    This is the requirement for superstars these days, and the Nets can expect it.

    How important is a pitcher who is valued by the opponent and can contain the opponent's best defensive player?

    As soon as the second quarter began, the Nets learned.

    With this Nets lineup, Almon Gilliam will definitely play first to bring out the threat, and then Childs and Jason Williams will play the pick-and-roll to create teamwork.

    But Almon Gilliam encountered Grant Hill¡¯s defense and was in trouble!

    Why does Grant Hill get such a high rating?

    Because he not only has top-notch scoring ability, top rebounding, and top-notch offensive organization, but also has extraordinary talents on the defensive end, and his physical condition is so good. Just like Zhang Hao¡¯s enthusiasm + physical condition, one look at it makes people think that he will definitely help with defense in a few years.  As good as it can be practiced, everyone thinks Grant Hill will become a top defensive player and the next Jordan!

    And he did it, and his defense has been qualitatively improved compared to last season. When Almon Gilliam saw Zhang Hao score 10 points in the first quarter, he believed that his scoring ability was better than Zhang Hao's, and his independent offense was indeed the strongest in the team.  He went up with full confidence and wanted to continue to beat the Pistons, but he encountered Grant Hill's tough defense when he went up.

    Almon Gilliam completely ignored that Zhang Hao was playing while avoiding Grant Hill, and that Zhang Hao was playing without the ball!

    Almon Gilliam missed two consecutive singles. Fortunately, one of the offensive rebounds was taken by Jason Williams, a rebounder who was crazy about rebounds. He passed it to Edwards and hit a mid-range shot, so it was not missed by Grant Hill.  Scored 4 points to take the lead.

    The first person to exert containment power was not Almon Gilliam, who had strong confidence, but Grant Hill!

    Fortunately, with Childs here, Almon Gilliam also trusts this positional battle organizer and adjusts his style of play in a timely manner.

    It's just that the energy in the first quarter was really consumed in those two strikes. Gradually, the Nets fell into decline. At 4 minutes and 22 seconds in the second quarter, Alan Houston, who came on the field in rotation, scored  With a three-pointer, the Pistons led the Nets by 4 points, 39-35, and stopped the Nets!

    The Pistons went 15-8!

    Zhang Hao, who had rested on the sidelines for half a quarter, had his mouth twitching. He felt the looks in his teammates' eyes - I, Zhang, am still a child, this is my first game!  Why does the team seem to have placed their confidence in me?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? out? out? out out out out ? playing basketball all over the world ?

 Chapter 552 552. You are getting old too (7000 words, please double the monthly ticket!)

    Duncan's data could have been better. After Raheem joined, Duncan's playing time increased and his scoring data declined.

    Originally Coleman could still serve as a substitute for the center position, but now

    The same situation exists for Iverson, whose data has also dropped quite a bit, reaching a new low since the lockout.

    'There are more Van Horn and Raheem. This is a normal situation. It is not only a normal situation, but also a situation worthy of vigilance. They have the conditions to strengthen in the summer. 58. The monkeys are giving way to Raheem and Van Horn.  Quan, they are all willing to fight for the championship'

    Zhang Hao is thinking about what kind of obstacles the 76ers will bring to him in the future. The big stars on the 76ers are looking at the SuperSonics lineup and thinking of the second-generation basketball player who is about to join the SuperSonics

    ¡®Why are all the rookies chosen by the opponent so talented?  ¡¯

    This is the most difficult thing for the stars of the major teams to understand about the Sonics after the start of this season.

    The Sonics have won the championship in the past two seasons, but no one has noticed this, because the Sonics have been dominated by veterans in the past two seasons, and they can't wait to have the rhythm of all veterans in the entire lineup.

    This year is different. All the veterans are cleared, and players over 30 years old are not available.

    The views of the media and fans are different.

    The Sonics are the two consecutive defending champions. No matter what, the media regard the Sonics as even stronger than the previous two years - this is what must be done to create buzz and increase ratings.

    Most fans think that the championship is very powerful. There are some people who know the game and know that every time they win the championship, the new season will not be easy. But after all, there are only a few people who know the game. Most people still think what the media says.

    Players are different. The SuperSonics' championship opponents know very well that the swarming veterans who have embraced the SuperSonics have played a big role in the SuperSonics' ability to win the championship in the past two seasons.

    Experience, willingness to give up data and performance opportunities for the championship

    This season the SuperSonics do not want veterans and are fully committed to cultivating young players. Not to mention experience, determination, etc. Strength alone is a big problem.

    But the four first- and second-year players Parker, Ginobili, Chandler, and Kirilenko played very well!  Parker was also favored by the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies used subsequent trades to help the SuperSonics acquire Odom in the Parker trade!

    Looking at Chandler, Kirilenko, Artest, Odom, Ben Wallace, and Zhang Hao standing together on the opposite side, the rotation of the three frontcourt positions composed of these six people

    The three substitutes, Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans, and Jason Williams, are also very distinctive functional players.

    Iverson really wants to ask the opponent - you still have a rookie, Matt Barnes, who can't use it, right?  Can you send it to us next year?

    In recent years, the rookies selected by the SuperSonics seem to be able to play now!

    In the past two seasons, I haven't seen it too much, and I have made it clear that Abf is made. This season, it has proved the draft strength of the supersonic speed team.

    This also illustrates a situation-if the SuperSonics did not choose to fully develop new players this season, they may not be able to trade for Odom.

    Looking at the previous teams that wanted to get young players from the Sonics, the Bucks offered Ray Allen who did not want to stay with the team and was unwilling to trade later; the Pistons wanted to give Stackhouse; the SuperSonics  Eddie Jones, Finley, Reed, Hamilton none of them got the serious rewards the team wanted.

    But now, after Parker showed his talent in scoring more than ten points per game in his second year while also getting four or five assists, the Grizzlies decided to help the Sonics win Odom

    Iverson, Duncan, Raheem and others discussed this matter privately and came to the conclusion that the Sonics have a lot to gain by not looking for veterans!

    Zhang Hao has entered his peak period and can help the team train young people and lead them to progress like O'Neal of the Lakers and Cassell and Jordan of the SuperSonics in previous years.

    ? Then, you can show your talent and show your draft skills.

    And then through this series of methods, we will create lineup continuity for many years to come!

    This will definitely be difficult, and it is very risky to do it in the year of two consecutive championships. The Sonics still have to defend the title. When other teams need young talent, they have to give it away

    But at this time, the horrific personal performances of Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace, who led the team to an opening 23-game winning streak, made many problems no longer a problem.

    The SuperSonics don¡¯t need to worry about the record or fight for the ranking After 23 consecutive victories, the SuperSonics¡°I can only sigh that if people¡¯s circumstances are different, everything may be different.

    ¡­¡­

    On March 30, 2003, the SuperSonics came to Los Angeles.

    Today, the SuperSonics officially submitted their 15-man roster for the playoffs.

    Cassell, Arroyo, Brent Barry, Ginobili, Wesley Person, Artest, Odom, Kirilenko, Matt Barnes, Zhang Hao,  Jason Williams, Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans, Ben Wallace, Chandler.

    Arriving in Los Angeles, the SuperSonics held a training session in the afternoon and announced tomorrow's activated list. Matt Barnes, Jason Williams, and Chris Anderson were placed on the inactive list.

    The SuperSonics are in good health this season. Chandler, Cassell, and Ginobili have missed at least 10 times due to injuries. Everyone else is fine.

    Due to the emphasis on cultivating new players, Jason Williams and Matt Barnes played very few games this season. The former played a total of 33 games and the latter 35 games. The former is indeed old and the latter  It ranks very low in the team's priority for developing young players.

    With the last 9 regular season games left this season, the official roster for the playoffs must be determined, and possible injuries must also be taken into consideration With these, the SuperSonics coaching staff has to be very busy, and the players must work hard to play better.  Just fine.

    Tomorrow, the last day of March, the last game of the month, the Sonics really want to win.

    In terms of direct head-to-head results, the SuperSonics and Lakers are tied 1-2 this season, falling behind. This has a high probability of affecting the final ranking.

    Moreover, if they play directly against each other, if the Sonics lose, the lead will be reduced by one game, and they will fall behind 1 to 3 in the regular season. If they win, it will be too much for the Sonics.  Okay, let's continue to increase the advantage of 1 victory, and the result will be a draw in a direct confrontation!

    At 6:40 in the evening on March 31, the SuperSonics players entered the Staples Center stadium first.

    Looking at Pierce, Ray Allen, and O'Neal walking out from the opposite side Zhang Hao felt that these days, any team can produce a three- or four-person star combination!

    Some teams may not be as strong as the giants, but they also have their own characteristics.

    And such a situation will not lead to an excessive concentration of stars and damage to the excitement of the game, because these days, there are really many stars with strength and characteristics emerging.

    The Lakers are naturally not a ¡®randomly pulled¡¯ team, but a representative of a giant combination!

    After so long, the Sonics also know the multiple reasons for not getting Ray Allen.

    First of all, the Bucks¡¯ vice president of player operations is a former SuperSonics general manager, and he is not willing to trade with the Sonics.

    ??Also, Ray Allen is unwilling to try his luck by joining the Sonics when the team has won two consecutive championships and is facing the retirement of one of its core players, Jordan.

    Ray Allen himself was unwilling to come. The Bucks' new management didn't want to assist the Sonics, so they took advantage of the situation and sent him to the Lakers.

    But now, the Bucks are said to have regretted it.

    Because the Sonics were originally willing to send Parker + Kirilenko + draft picks, or Parker + Chandler + draft picks.

    Payton is still regarded as a super giant. Referring to the future union president, even if he is almost 35 years old, Payton's transaction value is still very high. After all, he is a point guard who does not rely on physical fitness. At that time, Payton's value was not  Less than two second-year players + a draft pick from the Sonics, and at best, a small loss in draft picks.

    But now it¡¯s different Parker, Kirilenko, Chandler, their talents are gradually turning into strength!

    "The matter has long been a foregone conclusion. The fans are very excited about the details that are revealed later, and the players also like to pay attention to these gossips related to themselves But these are just for fun and discussing legendary stories.

    Now, the SuperSonics and Ray Allen, the shooting guard who was originally the most suitable for them, are already opponents!

    "Shaquille O'Neal, 31 years old, 216 cm, 148 kg, ability evaluation 99"

    Big Fatty came to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder, and communicated with the referee to choose a ball with more air, and talked faster when it bounced or struck the iron.

    Suddenly, Big Fatty saw a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure appear in front of him!

    Open your mouth!

    This bastard finally took the initiative to speak, and O'Neal had already started brainstorming how to respond

    "Mr. O'Neill, you are getting old too"

 Chapter 554 554. Another draft year filled with talented people (please double monthly votes!)

    It¡¯s not the fault of Ben Wallace for being overconfident, it¡¯s because he really might steal Zhang Hao¡¯s Player of the Month award.

    In March, his performance was also very good. His performance was affected in mid-to-late February. But in March, after Odom integrated well, Ben Wallace's performance stabilized again and even played well.  The best defensive efficiency since December, re-stabilizing the season average defensive efficiency above 9!

    This may really prevent Zhang Hao from breaking the historical record for the best number of games per month in a single season.

    In the past five seasons, only four players have won Player of the Month three times in a single season, Zhang Hao, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, and now Duncan.

    And if he fails to keep it, Duncan can become the first player of the month in the new century to win 4 times in a single season!

    In the past three seasons, Zhang Hao has won the Player of the Month award three times in a single season and won the MVP twice. In 2001, he was snatched away by Iverson because he had higher requirements for winning the MVP award and his performance in the season was almost the same.  Next, Iverson had the upper hand.

    This season, the situation seems to be very similar. He is the superstar of the 76ers and has the same number of Player of the Month Now there is a chance to make history - a new number of Player of the Month in a single season, but!

    Even if there is a chance to set a new record, the two of them have a chance to tie!

    Like Ben Wallace, there are many other Sonics who are struggling with Zhang Hao¡¯s MVP title.

    Zhang Hao has a unique charm - he always makes people worry about him.

    This kind of 'worry' has been changing. At first, it was Kenny Anderson's fear that he would be bad and bullied. Later, it turned into O'Neal and Cassell's fear that he would be beaten, and then  It's always changing.

    Now, as a teammate, whether he can help Zhang Hao become the greatest person has become a concern for many teammates.

    Because no matter how you look at it, Zhang Hao is as special a player as Magic and Jordan, or even more special.

    It is normal for Zhang Hao to succeed. If he fails, it will be his teammates¡¯ fault - the current mainstream public opinion trend.

    Zhang Hao has always been very concerned about MVP.

    If you don¡¯t get the Player of the Month award in March, it¡¯s basically gone.

    There is still a chance now!

    Zhang Hao remembers that in the original time and space, in the 01-02 season and the 02-03 season, Duncan won consecutive MVPs. It was also possible in the 03-04 season. In the 03-04 season, Duncan played the best efficiency of his career in terms of personal performance.  In the first seven years, he played the lowest playing time and achieved the best efficiency, reaching the peak of physical condition, technology and experience.

    But unfortunately, after the 2003-04 season, Duncan collapsed due to injuries. He went from a superstar who was a level above everyone else to an ordinary superstar.

    Zhang Hao was very excited when he saw Duncan this season. He felt that Duncan this season was as powerful as Duncan in the 2003-04 season in the original time and space. Physical fitness, technology, experience, team everything was combined so well.

    It is naturally a pleasure to compete with Duncan like this for mvp.

    If you can win, you will be even happier.

    Zhang Hao has analyzed it, and now his personal performance is almost the same. In April, there is a high probability that the two of them will win the Player of the Month. If not, they may not win

    The key thing is still yourself!

    For Duncan, getting 50 wins is enough to become the first MVP.

    Zhang Hao remembers that in the original time and space in the 01-02 season, when Duncan won the MVP, the Spurs were not first in the league, just like he, Zhang, won the first MVP in the 1999-00 season.

    But in the 2002-03 season, after Duncan led his team to overtake the Kings and become the league's first in April, he became the real MVP favorite, overtaking Kidd.

    In the end, Duncan only defeated Kidd with 29.8% of the vote with 34.2% of the vote to complete the consecutive MVP. At that time, the Spurs led by Duncan had 60 wins and the Nets led by Kidd only had 49 wins.

    MVP is originally a matter of a single season, but things are often not like this.

    But every superstar is like this when they compete for mvp, so there is nothing unfair

The point difference was once again narrowed to less than 10 points, and the Bulls called a timeout!

    Zhang Hao¡¯s mad rush directly dispersed the frustration of his teammates who were originally ¡®suppressed¡¯ by him!  The whole team is excited!

    In the 8 minutes after the timeout, the two teams fell into a defensive tug-of-war. It was difficult for both teams to score, but the Sonics could always score goals beyond the rules!

    Kobe looked at the man with long flowing hair opposite him. He felt bad. He recognized Zhang Hao when he ran away in the last quarter. Where did this guy come from?

    It was clear that Lian Xiang was not as good as him in regular time. The Bulls used Ginobili as a breakthrough for the 15 minutes he played in regular time.

    But in overtime, this guy played like a superstar!
