23 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Although there were 4 turnovers and only 8 of 20 shots, the TV commentator said that Zhang Hao played very well in the game against the Spurs.

Among the 23 points, 15 points were won by fast break!

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 during the 20 wins and 1 loss, his performance was not as good as that after the All-Star Weekend.

Van Exel scored 20 points steadily under rough confrontation. Most of these 20 points were obtained in positional battles. From the perspective of winning, it was more useful than Zhang Hao's 23 points.

Zhang Hao relied on counterattack to raise the team's upper limit, that is, an unpredictable offense, and ensured the team's stable output, and still scored 20 points and 6 assists.

At the end of the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, Zhang Hao, who returned to the hotel, saw a news that the Bulls lost! He suffered the 11th loss of the season!

...

Originally, the Bulls had 3 games left, and even with one back-to-back, Zhang Hao thought the Bulls would win all, winning 72 wins to the playoffs.

But who would have thought that since he won the Bulls once at the beginning of the season, the Pacers, who have lost more than 15 points in the past two matches with the Bulls, lost more than 15 points in the last two games. In the third-to-last game, they relied on Reggie Miller to catch the ball and beat the buzzer by 103-100, and defeated the Bulls at home, without giving the Bulls a chance to go into overtime!

Jordan's equalizer mid-range shot with 4.2 seconds left has become the most tragic background!

This... is not over yet. On April 19, the Lakers came to Sacramento, the capital of California, to rest. When preparing for the next day's game against the Kings, they played the Knicks' Bulls back-to-back. Although Jordan tried his best to make 12 of 23 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 11 free throws, and scored 37 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, the Bulls' performance was sluggish. The team's shooting percentage was only 36% and 28 of 76 shots. In turn, the Knicks made a 43-for-80 shot, and they lost two consecutive back-to-back, losing to the Knicks 72-104, and suffered a 12th loss of the season!

The last nine games of the Bulls were broadcast live across the United States. Zhang Hao watched Jordan, who was broadcast live by CNN, and listened to CNN's commentator crazily praising Jordan. After a 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 lucky and had a game of no shots at the end of the season, and the Lakers were very lucky.

On April 20, they received news before the first game against the Kings, alternating away and home games, which was back-to-back against the Kings, that the Supersonics were scored 8 points in a row in the last moment by Anthony Hardaway.

When O'Neal returned to the first round of the playoffs and was named "Glass Man" by Orlando Media, Anthony Hardaway tenaciously played an 8-2 wave in the last moment, helping the Magic reverse the Supersonics 97-94 and won the game 63, ending the regular season of the season with 63 wins and 19 losses, completing a perfect ending.

The Supersonics suffered their 18th loss of the season, with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses!

After receiving this 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 that of the Supersonics. As long as they win Game 64, they will be ranked first in the West!

The Kings finally made their record 39 wins and 42 losses, locked in eighth place in the West, making them happy, and then welcomed a group of bandits...

31-13, 27-01, and after the half-time, the Lakers led the Kings by 25 points 58-33.

Although the Kings took advantage of the Lakers' aristocrats' illness in the second half to play a 55-44 counterattack, they were too far behind, so the Kings could only watch the bandits leave and ended the season with a record of 39 wins and 43 losses.

102-88, the Lakers easily defeated the Kings, won 5 consecutive victories, improving their record to 64 wins and 17 losses, and securing the Western Conference championship!

...

...

At 6 p.m. in the April issue, the Lakers' regular season curtain call began and the game against the Trail Blazers began.

Zhang Hao, Magician and Van Exel were sitting on the bench in suits.

The three of them are the top three players in the Lakers' scoring list. They didn't play in the last game, but the home fans didn't complain at all. Instead, they were very happy to see the three players not playing in the last game.

After the Magicians returned, they played 53 games, including 35 games, averaging 13.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 0.8 steals per game.

Van Exel played 77 games, only a few games at the beginning of the season, and never missed other games. After a wave of sprints after the All-Stars weekend, the average score average increased to 17.6 points, a career high, plus 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals, which is quite excellent.

The best one is Zhang Hao!

After coming to the Lakers, he played a total of 66 games, including 27 games, 30+, 6 games, and a super performance of 60 points in a single game. He scored a total of 41 points this season, averaging 27.1 points per game.

The last time a Lakers player scored more than 2,000 points in a single season, was Jabbar in the 1980-81 season.

Since then, the Lakers have always been a team-based team, and the team has reached the point where Byron Scott was the Lakers' highest score per game in the 1980s.

Since Jabbar was 35 years old, the Lakers have not averaged 25+ scorers per game for more than ten years. After waiting for many years, Lakers fans finally waited!

If Zhang Hao averaged 2 points per game during his time with the Nets, Zhang Hao averaged 28.2 points per game in the 66 games after the Lakers!

The last rookie who can perform like this in these 66 games is Michael Jordan! Michael Jordan averaged 28 points per game in the rookie season!

In addition to averaging 27.1 points, he also had 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.5 blocks, and 0.6 steals!

Not only is the data good, but Zhang Hao's playing style is a type that sublimates the team's strength. If his teammates are bad, he really won't play much role. For example, the Nets are originally a team that can win 30+ games in the Eastern Conference, but he can help the Nets improve to a 50% victory rate.

But in the Lakers, a team with excellent coaches, many high-quality role players, and clear tactical core. He has the ability to enter the top four Western Conference to score 50 wins. He directly raised the team's ceiling to 60+ wins.

Although, it has not been tested in the playoffs, the Lakers' offensive basketball performance averaged 108 points this season and their extremely unstable performance against top teams has made them questioned in the playoffs, and 60+ wins are still not regarded as the real favorite to win the championship.

However, Lakers fans are already very happy.

Before the start of the season, they were not considered a championship team, and after completing the deal, they themselves felt desperate.

Now, we can no longer be more surprised, the surprise has reached the P-reveal s+pro+max+Supreme version.

Last night, they had already locked in the West No. 1. Today, they played back-to-back. Lakers fans watched the three strongest players rest... They were eager to see this scene!

There are too many injuries in the NBA this year, far higher than in the past few seasons. The most important thing is not to be injured at the last moment. As for the players with the highest popularity and strongest strength who don’t play in the curtain call, then don’t play. Seeing how they look in suits, Lakers fans are still satisfied.

As for the victory and loss... I still care about it very much, but after the Trail Blazers tied for sixth in the Western Conference with 44 wins and 37 losses, they also took a rest. Compared with the Lakers who were so lucky this year that they had no major injuries, the Trail Blazers were extremely miserable.

The center was injured in turn, and even four centers on the team were injured. After locking in the ranking, they took the initiative to take the rest in the last game, and the same was true for the curtain call tonight.

The experience of the Trail Blazers well illustrates the situation in the entire NBA this year.

After this year's regular season, the record was so good that it was so good. Yesterday, many teams had already ended the regular season, and today the regular season was all over.

As many as five teams won 60+ games. Before the Lakers and Trail Blazers started, the Bulls, which beat the Pistons 133-89 in the curtain call, broke the Lakers' best record with a record of 70 wins and 12 losses.

This made Lakers fans a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the Lakers also rose up. They defeated the Magic one game in advance by relying on the advantage of winning and losing in the match, and defeating the Supersonics one game in advance by relying on the advantage of winning percentage in the match, winning the second place in the regular season and the first in the West.

The third Magic team had 64 wins and 18 losses, the fourth Supersonic team had 64 wins and 18 losses, and the fifth Spurs had 60 wins and 22 losses.

The difference is also ridiculously different. The Kings, the eighth-ranked West, only 39 wins, and there are as many as 9 teams with less than 30 wins, and there are only 15 teams with a winning rate of 50%.

There are two reasons. One is that the changes in the shortening of the three-point line are used better than last season. This season, the league's confrontation is strengthened and the defensive end is easier to do better. At this time, the teams in the league are obviously polarized, they are not adapting well, and their record is outrageous.

And those who adapted to it are teams that strengthened their offense to maintain super attacks in this season when the defensive intensity suddenly increased, such as the Lakers, who averaged 108 points per game, the Magic, who averaged 106 points per game, the Supersonics who averaged 105 points per game, or the teams whose defense was increased to suffocating, such as the Jazz who averaged 95.9 points per game, the Pacers who averaged 96.1 points per game, and the Cavaliers who lost points this season, lost points per game, and the lowest average of 88.5 points per game in the league.

Another exception is that the Bulls, who averaged 106 points per game and lost 92.9 points per game, was simply a bug.

Of course, there are also teams like the Spurs who averaged 102 points per game and lost 97.8 points per game. Although they are not particularly excellent in both aspects, they are doing well. They have relied on a crazy winning streak to reach the fifth in the league for a period of time.

These are teams that adapt to the defensive strengthening brought about by the shortening of the three-point line from the direction of offense or defense or both.

If you don't adapt, it's a pity. 18 of the 29 teams in the early and mid-term leagues have less than 50% of the winning rate. For example, the Suns, Heat, and Hornets, they all slowly scored the winning rate back to 50% after the All-Star weekend, and the three teams ended up with 41 wins and 41 losses.

Also, the most important thing is that the three-point line is shortened and used better, the confrontation is strengthened, and the defense is strengthened, and more injuries are caused.

Magic, Trail Blazers, Suns, Warriors... and even the Spurs, which won all the wins in March and scored only 3 wins and 8 losses in April, all caused problems due to injuries.

Combining these two factors in the same season, there will naturally be such situations where the record is too good and the difference is too bad.

At this time, it shows how good the Lakers' luck is! At the same time, it also shows the Lakers' excellent control in trading. After the Magician's comeback, the logo man decisively exchanged Cebaros for Doug Christie and Donyere Marshall. Although Doug Christie's performance on the defensive end exceeded expectations and was unexpected, the characteristics of the two on the offensive end helped the Lakers improve their overall offense, allowing the Lakers to play better after they got Zhang Hao, which led to the end of the half-time with 20 wins and 1 loss, and ranked among the top teams.

Many coincidences, that is, good luck, made the Lakers achieve a more surprising record this season that exceeded everyone's expectations, and even more surprising than the Bulls' 70 wins!

Tonight, the Lakers once again proved how lucky they were. With multiple core players on both sides resting, the two teams attacked... hard to describe.

But the Lakers are lucky. In the end, there was one and a half minutes left. The Lakers were two points behind 86 to 88. In the last minute, the Trail Blazers did not score 1 point, either passing mistakes or hitting irons. On the Lakers, Campbell failed to score the first 16 three-pointers in his career, but he actually made a three-pointer!

Then the Supersonics made two tactical fouls, and the Lakers made 3 of 4 free throws. The Supersonics created two tactical opportunities, one hit the iron and the other made a mistake.

The Lakers defeated the Supersonics 92-88, won the curtain call, and ended with a 6-game winning streak, with a record of 65 wins and 17 losses!

...

luck!

It's luck!

The Magician felt that he was really lucky and was preparing to come back and review his feelings as a player, and then he tied the highest number of wins in a single season in his career!

He was not disgusted with the media at all, and experts said they were lucky because they were really lucky!

As for the regular season, they did everything they wanted to do. Despite the bumps and bumps in the middle, who would have the luck in the end?

Apart from that dim summer in 1991, the magician felt that he was synonymous with luck!

There is only one thing that he was very worried that the 65 wins he had won at his peak were won by such a group of little kids!

Van Exel cheered his teammates all over the game. After the final whistle sounded, he was the first to rush out of the bench and celebrated with Campbell, who hit a key three-pointer tonight.

Another player on the offside, Zhang Hao, was so quiet that he didn't say a word in the whole game tonight.

He was very confused... The regular season of his rookie season ended like this?

Looking at the advanced reward "Super Star Experience Card" that I received after locking in the West last night... Is this the number one in the West?

Is it going to play in the playoffs?

A year passed too quickly! Thinking about whether I had sent my application for admission everywhere or yesterday...

Even though he, Zhang, has a much stronger mentality than other rookies, when looking back on this year, he still feels excited and dazed.

Looking back on my future memories a year ago were still lying on the hospital bed, and the memories of this era were still worried about not having a university to give a full basketball scholarship...

When I came back to my senses, I had been playing in the NBA for a season!

As memories come, every bit of the year has become clearer and clearer. Listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene, Zhang Hao's eyes became brighter and brighter.
To be continued...
