138. About a good point guard (5000 words)(1/2)

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 are currently 14 consecutive victories, while the Bulls are 17 consecutive victories before playing against the Nuggets.

"That is, whether the Bulls lose or not tonight, if I want to complete this task, I have to defeat the Bulls?"

Double killing of the Bulls is a miracle, and it is a cross-team double kill.

Those teams that won the Bulls once will lose 20 points next time to the Bulls to get the bottom... Even the Supersonics and Magic couldn't escape!

"Forget it, let it go, what if I do it? What if the Bulls can't win 70, it's because of me?

By the way, the highest winning record is the Lakers' 69 wins, which is our record.

I'm not fighting for me, but for the glory of the team history!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao suddenly felt that his stature was much higher.

...

Duncan's failure to participate in the 1996 draft will not affect the 76ers' bad performance.

For the inside, they got Coleman and were not interested in the inside except Duncan, but they were interested in the point guard. Some media reported that since Duncan decided not to participate in the draft, the 76ers scouts appeared many times at the game scenes between Georgetown University and Georgia Tech.

The goal is quite clear.

There are also news that the 76ers scouts appeared at some high school games, which was played out as Zhang Hao. Garnett's talent is visible to the naked eye, and the 76ers showed a strong interest in high school rookies.

In short, the 76ers have been playing badly, with each team playing 39 to 42 games. Currently, only four teams have won less than 10 games. The Timberwolves and the Bucks have won the 10th game. The Grizzlies, Raptors, Mavericks and the 76ers have won less than 10 games.

At 6 p.m. on January 24, the Lakers' away game challenge to the 76ers started.

Zhang Hao was a little regretful. Starkhouse played for a total of 22 minutes tonight, playing for a while in each quarter, but he may have been replaced before he even found his form. He was completely dissatisfied with his average playing time of 38 minutes this season.

And he was so cowardly! He actually had 4 assists in 22 minutes, only 5 shots, scored 4 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds...

Zhang Hao didn't play long tonight. He played 28 minutes and made 6 of 12 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 6 of 7 free throws. Unfortunately, he confiscated the last free throw, and scored 19 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 blocks were substituted. At that time, the Lakers had already led by 22 points 73-51.

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 Supersonics won five consecutive victories by the Magic. After playing 41 games, the Supersonics' record became 32 wins and 9 losses, and was officially overtaken by the Lakers with 33 wins and 8 losses!

After this hot winning streak that no one expected, the Lakers topped the West!

From the beginning of the deal about Zhang Hao, no one expected that this would be the case. The Lakers, who had 10 wins and 5 losses at the time, actually scored 23 wins and 3 losses after getting Zhang Hao's trade, which was simply brutal! During this period, the Lakers' record was the same as the Bulls, with 23 wins and 3 losses!

Zhang Hao relied on 60 points per game to average 26+ points per game, and gradually stabilized during the winning streak. His strength proved the correctness of the Lakers' trading.

The logo man said in an interview: "You have to listen to the truth? When Aix was a high school student, he thought he would be the best in this rookie, but I didn't expect him to have the chance to be compared with those of Hill, Jordan, Bird, and Johnson. I am also paying attention to him like you, curious about what he can bring to the NBA in his rookie season."

The same crazy bragging, the logo man is much more rounder than McHale.

It’s obviously more over-praise, but the words of the logo man are not annoying.

Zhang Hao’s performance after joining the NBA is not an exaggeration to this day.

Winners take all, and most of the news about the Lakers praises Zhang Hao.

But there will definitely be different remarks. For example, T.N.T listed the data. After the Magician's comeback, Zhang Hao's performance improved to a higher level. Before that, Zhang Hao's performance was at the level of a first-class scorer. His actual contribution on the field was not an advantage but he was not at a disadvantage compared to Alan Houston of the Pistons, Glenn Rice of the Hornets, and Steve Smith of the Eagles.

When the Magicians returned, Zhang Hao's role on the court was directly comparable to first-tier stars such as Drexler, Reggie Miller, and Mickey Richmond... If the Knicks broke out, Zhang Hao would still have the upper hand.

Not only that, T.N.T also lists the differences in the performance of Zhang Hao after the Magician's comeback. In terms of hit rate, Zhang Hao's hit rate when the Magician is present is 5 percentage points higher than when the Magician is not present, and the hit rate difference is 52% and 48%...

This is obviously guiding a point of view - Zhang Hao needs a good point guard to maximize his strength or even exceed the upper limit.

When Zhang Hao saw this view, he thought it made sense.

In response, when the Lakers arrived in Jersey City, Zhang Hao answered in an interview with CBA TV: "Yes, you're right. A player like me who plays without a ball needs a ball holder like the Nick and the Magic to play better. I hope I have such excellent ball holder teammates in my career."

The high school students' answers are always unexpected! The reporter never expected Zhang Hao to say this.

When other rookies encounter similar problems, don’t they always say “I will work hard to strengthen” their ball holding? Why did they get here, and that’s the answer?

Let’s change the question: “Aix, will you come back to play here in the future? You created the greatest individual performance of this team in a single game. This is where you started your career. Do you still have nostalgia for this place?”

"Won't."

Very decisive...

Zhang Hao paused and continued: "I hate this team. It's best if the Nets boss goes bankrupt and is forced to sell the Nets."

So vicious... Can you do something with gentlemen?

...

At 5:30 p.m. on January 26, the Lakers' away game challenge to the Nets started.

The Continental Airlines Arena is full tonight!

The Lakers, the most popular team, and the most popular rookie Zhang Hao, came here. This most popular rookie was originally from the Nets, and there were many onlookers.

When the game started, fans were making excuses and turned against each other directly. What can Nets coach John Calipari do?

Nothing at all.

Also, these fans didn't even call on Zhang Hao to come back, and John Calipari felt that there was really no one else.

As the NCAA coach, Larry Brown's strongest student in college basketball, after receiving the invitation from the Nets, Calipari chose to follow the teacher's footsteps and come to the NBA to make a splash.

He heard that the Nets tried to play Duncan badly. If they really got it... As a college coach, he knew how powerful Duncan was. Olajuwon was not as good as Duncan in his college years, so Larry Bird could compete.

Then, the Nets became the current ghostly appearance.

Dewarts, Bradley, PJ Brown's inside trio, outside Chiles, Edwards, and Eddie Jones.

PJ Brown was very happy to play when he returned to the power forward position, but Bradley and Divac were both tired of each other and were scrambling to play the starter. Whoever didn't play the starter would be unhappy. Chiles and Edwards were discouraged, and Eddie Jones even complained to the media if he had the chance...

I have to say that the players who exchanged Kenny Anderson and Zhang Hao are actually not bad, but the Nets played well, with a 7-6 start, and they had to trade, but now they are in a mess.

After Duncan announced that he would not enter the NBA early, the Nets could not do anything to do it now, and it was extremely natural.

7 wins and 6 losses to now 15 wins and 26 losses. If you want to enter the No. 1 pick, it is not so easy to enter, and you don’t have the ability to make it to the playoffs.

The biggest failure of the Nets' deal was that they clearly had a bad goal, but the deal was not the draft picks, but the high-quality players who could trade again.

However, after the game started, the Nets played quite well. Eddie Jones and Divac played very hard tonight, worked very hard and were very active. Eddie Jones made 4 of 6 shots in the first quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointer and two free throws, and scored 11 points in a single quarter, helping the Nets play comparable to the Lakers in the first quarter, and leading the Lakers by 28-27 to enter the second quarter by 1 point.

But it was only this quarter. In the second quarter, Zhang Hao made consecutive counterattacks, and scored 15 points in half a quarter, directly defeating the Nets players' mentality...

Thinking back then, such a counterattack was something they often saw when the Nets beat others!

The Lakers made a direct wave of 31-16 in the second quarter, and the score was 58-44, overtaking 14 points and entering the second half.

The second half was as plain as water. After the two quarters of 24-22 and 23-27, the Lakers beat the Nets 105-89 and won 16 consecutive victories!

The loss is that the American Radio and Television Station, ABC TV, also broadcast the game specially. I thought I could see Zhang Hao go crazy like the Knicks when he played against the Nets, but he ended up playing in one quarter. After scoring 18 points, 1 assist and 2 steals in a single quarter, he didn't have much more activeness.

Zhang Hao made 11 of 17 shots in the game, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 28 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He performed well, but mainly because the Nets' defense was not done well, PJ Brown had no desire to defend, and Zhang Hao played very easily.

The score difference did not continue to widen, but was related to the Lakers' rotation. The Lakers did not let Van Exel and the Magic play in the second half. Sedale Sreet and Doug Christie were organizing the offense, giving Van Exel and the Magic, who have performed very well in recent times, a little more rest.

However, after the game, ABC TV commentator Marquez Johnson, former Bucks legend, teased the Nets: "If Zhang had a strong hatred for the Nets, maybe the Nets could receive more attention. Now Zhang is not as rare as he looks at the Nets. The Nets have no sense of existence at all. It should be like Zhang said, the Nets boss should sell the team."

...

Zhang Hao has no mission to play against the Nets, and he has some regrets.

But thinking about the current situation of the Nets, if you have tasks, you will get ghosts. Doesn’t that mean you will get rewards for free?

After this game, the Lakers will not meet the Nets again this season. Zhang Hao has turned the matter of being traded. Next season, he may not take the matter of being traded by the Nets to heart.

At noon on the 27th, Zhang Hao followed the team back to Los Angeles.

After two days of rest, on the 29th, the day after tomorrow, they will usher in their last game in January, playing against the Warriors at home.

Even defeating the Nets can make headlines... This time it's not just because of their popularity in the Lakers, but also because of his grudges and entanglement between Zhang and the Nets. The media and fans care about another thing - the Lakers have won 16 consecutive victories! It's only one game away from the Bulls' longest winning streak this season created by the Bulls!

The opponent is the Warriors, who also played one game yesterday. The Warriors, who have played 43 games, are currently ranked tenth in the Western Conference with 18 wins and 25 losses.

This is surprising that he can rank tenth in the division even if he has broken the record.

After Duncan stated that he would not participate in the draft in advance, many teams with Duncan as the goal of playing hard have anxiety and panic trading choices. However, as a result, Iverson, Marbury, Raihm, Ray Allen, Lorenzen White, Anthony Walker and other excellent talented players have gained more exposure. Those geniuses whose light has been covered by Duncan prove to the public how outstanding they are.

Those teams who played badly have also stabilized their mentality, whether to play badly or badly, so the teams in the eastern and western playoffs have an amazing record, and even the Warriors can rank tenth in the record.

The Lakers, with 34 wins and 8 losses, will soon face the Warriors, with 18 wins and 25 losses. The Lakers have been in a very good shape recently and have performed amazingly well. Only the Bulls can match them during the same period. Everyone believes that there is no problem with the Lakers defeating the Warriors.

So, the Lakers' next goal is to surpass the Bulls' longest winning streak of 17 consecutive wins this season!

Can the Lakers do something that the Bulls haven't done?

This has become the most popular thing in the entire NBA fan community!

...

The two-day rest time passed by, and Zhang Hao also saw the news. He had expected that if the Lakers' winning streak was not interrupted before, then at this time, they would definitely be compared with the Bulls.

Obviously, this will make the Bulls more motivated when playing against them at the Lakers.

But what can he do?

If you can continue to win in a row, of course you must continue to win in a row.
To be continued...
