By 11 minutes and 39 seconds, the Lakers had already led the Heat by 5 points 56 to 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 time passed, after the Heat's players who were shooting accurately from the outside were stared to death, other players could not score goals after high confrontation!

Although the Heat also made the Lakers' positional battle and offensive defense so that they could not score goals, the Lakers... Zhang Hao seized the opportunity to counterattack and scored 6 points alone!

In the third quarter, the Heat wanted to suppress time, but the Lakers took the initiative to attack Owens, who was holding the ball. After Owens passed it to Coles, two of the Lakers rushed towards Coles, deliberately freed Rex Chapman and Kevin Willis, so that the Heat could make a decision faster!

When the ball returned to Coles' hands after four passes, it was already a big gap. If you don't shoot at this time? It's impossible. If you don't shoot like this, the chance will be worse when the time comes to the last moment. Coles adjusted it and made a three-pointer... it's iron!

Jason Williams grabbed the rebound, and Van Exel was interfered with the receiving line by the Heat's active defense, but the Magicians had the chance, so it would be better to grow taller!

The Magician immediately retracted the ball to catch Jason Williams. After receiving the ball, he passed the ball for a long time. When he retracted the ball, he kept paying attention to the position on the court. Before receiving the ball, he successfully passed the ball out.

The fans on the scene started cheering since Jason Williams protected the rebound. Zhang Hao came to the opponent's free throw line and received the ball and took three big steps.

Three big steps are not uncommon, but Zhang Hao raised it when he received the ball, took two steps, and came to a step outside the reasonable collision zone. Zhang Hao jumped, without any fancy, and smashed the raised ball into the basket...

It was simple and unpretentious, but the fans on 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 like they had returned to the showtime era!

Van Exel + Magician's pass, and Zhang Hao charges in front of him, it feels a bit like the showtime of Magician + Scott + Worthy back then. However, Magician has now become the one who assists the pass, and Van Exel's speed is easier than Magician's chance of having a straight long pass.

As for counterattack quickly, Zhang Hao is faster than James Worthy!

When Zhang Hao started to jump and dunk, the red light for the countdown for the third quarter had already lit up, with 1.2 seconds left!

With the Heat missing a long three-pointer, with the help of Van Exel and the Magic, two teammates who passed accurately, Zhang Hao relied on counterattack and helped the Lakers lead 58-51 and 7 points into the quarters after the third quarter!

From the 6-10 half-quarter score at the beginning of the second half to the 20-16 single quarter, it was Zhang Hao's 14 points in the second half of the third quarter!

All are counterattacks!

It's broken!

The Heat have collapsed!

Although the score difference is only 7 points, the Heat, which mainly rotates 8 people, and even can only rotate 7 people in the third quarter, has lost its physical strength!

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao continued to go on, and the outside line became Doug Christie, Anthony Pierre, George Lynch, and the center replaced Campbell, four dragged one, and the Lakers fought to the defensive!

At this time, Zhang Hao was so tired that he wanted to fight back. He did not force himself to fight back, but "skip". When he recovered, he would play one single, and if he could enter, he could not get in, because the Heat's offense had collapsed, and he could only try his best to defend with his intentions. The offensive end was purely judging by the sky. The Heat's current offense was a bit like the feeling of playing three overtimes with the Bulls. The three overtimes combined for 15 minutes, and the Heat only scored 10 points in total.

Not to mention other things, just in terms of the willpower of the Heat, Zhang Hao admires the Heat players very much. The tenacious team consciousness created around Mo Ning is indeed worthy of respect.

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, Campbell grabbed an offensive rebound and caused a foul. The Lakers only scored 8 points in 6 minutes and 43 seconds, and the scoring efficiency was extremely low.

However, the Heat only scored 4 points in more than half a quarter!

7-4! When entering the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the Lakers expanded their lead to 11 points with 66-55!

The Heat called for a timeout, replaced the main lineup and replaced the player outside the 8-man rotation.

Del Harris, who had been waiting for the Heat to call the timeout, saw Pat Riley calling the timeout and walked to the bench, without making any arrangements, and immediately asked Cot Lambis to inform the technical station to substitute and replace Zhang Hao.

The team doctor was ready, so he took an ice pack and applied it to Zhang Hao's neck.

At this time, all Zhang Hao could feel was fatigue and the pain in his hot throat.

Zhang Hao, who was already panting and unable to control his cold expression, was walking towards the player passage with his neck pressed on his neck, the fans at the scene stood up and applauded and cheered!

Del Harris looked at this scene... The neck injury does not affect the game, but after encountering such a vicious offender, he can still calm down and focus on the game...

Let’s take a look at the enthusiasm that the fans on site have not had in several years…

"How long has it been? 1 month... This rookie is a little capable, hum! I just don't like him! No matter how powerful it is, I am also his head coach!"

The Heat have collapsed and replaced it with the water dispenser lineup. The Lakers played until the end with the lineup of Sedale Sreet, Anthony Pierre, Doug Christie, Donyere Marshall and Fred Roberts.

In the last few minutes, both sides scored very few points, the Lakers scored 4 points and the Heat scored 6 points.

In the end, with Zhang Hao's performance of 12 of 31 shots, including 1 of 5 three-pointers, plus 8 of 10 free throws, scoring 31 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, the Lakers beat the Heat 70-61 and won 7 consecutive victories!

...

...

After the game, Zhang Hao did not attend the press conference. Del Harris went crazy at the press conference. He did not have the calmness he had coached in the NCAA and the NBA for many years. He cursed the Heat and Cott Thomas like a shrew.

The scene of Del Harris making a tantrum became the hot news tonight.

This is Los Angeles, the Lakers won the game, and the media are coaxing Del Harris to make trouble.

But Pat Riley was not so lucky. He was repeatedly asked if he deliberately let the players hurt the Lakers' super genius. He could only repeatedly emphasize "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense..."

Not to mention whether the Heat's own boss would be able to withstand whether he would maliciously retaliate against the unhappy old club of his unhappy breakup.

The NBA makes money by stars. Even Chuck Daly, the head coach of the Bad Boys Army, never took the initiative to arrange players to commit crimes against opponents, and never admitted that it was his arrangement.

They can only acquiesce. Once it is revealed that they have made those arrangements, they will definitely be banned by all teams, because the head coach can also change teams. Who knows whether such a head coach will turn around and hurt your star when he goes to other teams.

At the post-match press conference between the Lakers and the Heat, in addition to Del Harris making a tantrum, Pat Riley crazyly denied that three consecutive games had become a hot topic, and another question and answer also became a hot topic.

When Del Harris was asked what kind of player Zhang Hao was, Del Harris didn't expect the adjective for a moment, and thought of Zhang Hao's answer during the pause, and responded to "Aix is ​​a gentleman."

The reporters thought that Zhang Hao turned from a pitcher into a charger and fought back again and again after a disagreement. He was locked up by others, not only did he not fear it, but he became more tenacious... This kind of player is called a gentleman?

...

"Special signing player Zhang Hao has won the new nickname "Iron Blood Gentleman". The task is: a rookie who has received baptism? He has completed the image creation. Zhang Hao has created a gentleman in playing style and a strong personality.

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Special card kidney function enhancement."

"Renal function strengthening (*) (exclusive to Zhang Hao, a special signing player): After use, Zhang Hao's kidney function is strengthened."

"...Ahem, should you be so simple and rough? The description cannot be more professional and cool...Ahem..."

Zhang Hao lay on the bed, looked at the prompt, was silent for a while, then coughed twice, then kept complaining with his hoarse throat, and finally coughed a few more times.

"This reward is because the opponent is Mo Ning? Use it!"

"The host uses special cards: renal function strengthening, designated signing player Zhang Hao..."

"Special cards have been used: kidney function is strengthened, Zhang Hao's kidney function has been greatly enhanced, and his explosive power has been increased from 84 to 85. When he is in an extremely excited state, the explosive power brought by adrenaline explosion and the explosion speed increase are enhanced."

"It turns out that kidney function strengthening has these effects!"

Zhang Hao, who was speechless and with a hint of vulgar excitement, immediately became even more excited.

"In the future, I have to play even more with the team with superstars... but it's really hard to play! A Heat almost beat us up. If it weren't for dirty Cote's own death, it would be a big deal to say whether we could win in the end..."

Thinking of his 12-of-31 shot tonight, almost hitting the iconic blacksmith of a player who should have worn the Lakers No. 8 jersey, Zhang Hao deeply felt how powerful a superstar who could build a team around him!

The Heat are just like that, and they can build defense around Mo Ning, so they can be so fierce.

Now that the NBA is gradually entering the iron-blooded era, with the Heat playing style and Mo Ning's defensive dominance, Zhang Hao knows that the Heat will inevitably attract the attention of many current stars!

"It's a pity that the Iron Blood Age will be ended by rules at the beginning of the new century..."

After suppressing his excitement, Zhang Hao prepared to review the game in the learning mode, and there are some things to learn.

Turn on the TV and saw Del Harris' interview... Zhang Hao was speechless. He originally planned to attend the post-match press conference. His neck was sprained, vocal cord strains, and muscle tissue contusion after being choked. There was no big problem, but Del Harris insisted that he take an X-ray, but there was no big problem. He talked less and applied ice on time, and he would slowly heal. He was a little regretful that he could not pretend to be a pussy after the game.

I don't know when it started, but he fell in love with that feeling.

But now, seeing Del Harris' post-match interview, Zhang Hao is glad that he didn't go...

At 11 o'clock, Zhang Hao, who had turned on the learning mode, fell asleep quickly, and at 0 a.m. the next day, he turned on the learning mode...

...

With a 7-game winning streak, the Lakers' record has improved to 25 wins and 8 losses, and there is a possibility of sitting in the West!

During this period, Zhang Hao performed particularly well.

This game against the Heat has continued and strengthened Zhang Hao’s exposure!

After being locked, he continued to play and relied on his own to help the Lakers achieve a clear lead and set the victory. The Lakers team scored 70 points, and Zhang Hao scored 33 points by himself... Zhang Hao proved with practical actions that he deserved the award of the Best Player of the Month!

Zhang Hao's performance during this period was too crazy, completely exceeding everyone's highest expectations for this year's rookies. Compared with Grant Hill last season, Zhang Hao is obviously even better!

Although Zhang Hao is still not the core style of play, there must be core players around him building the team. The Lakers have two passers-goal players Van Exel and the Magician. Zhang Hao's performance is qualitatively improved and related to the Magician's comeback... and so on. And it is true. After the Magician's comeback, Zhang Hao played better in positional battles, but Zhang Hao's performance is better than Grant Hill last season. It is recognized that it is already better.

Because Zhang Hao not only has good data, average 25.3 points per game, but also has good team record!

At 9 a.m. on January 6, when the NBA announced the first voting results of the All-Star starter, it showed Zhang Hao's popularity soaring in recent times.

The media and fans don’t know why. When the NBA officially announced the results of the first All-Star voting this year, it listed the voting results for each day.

One of the names is particularly concerned by fans who follow the All-Stars, and this person is Zhang Hao.

On the first day of voting results on December 26, Zhang Hao ranked fourth in the Western forwards, and received 26,253 votes on the first day. On the 27th, he got 19,228 votes and ranked fourth in the Western forwards in two days.

The votes were on a downward trend, and it can be seen that the votes he received at the beginning were those fans who loved him very much were voting for him. The top three forwards in the Western Conference were Barkley, Malone, and Kemp. Two days ago, the votes of these three exceeded 100,000, and the gap with others was widened include Zhang Hao.

But on December 28, the second day after the Lakers played against the Spurs, Zhang Hao got more than 70,000 votes in a single day, and suddenly rushed to the Western Conference forward to win the third place!

In the next three days, Zhang Hao won the votes back to a state of 30,000 to 40,000 votes a day. The number of votes brought by the Spurs quickly slowed down.
To be continued...
