News related to Zhang Hao and the Lakers were exposed continuously, and the Lakers snatched all the limelight in the playoffs for a while.

But on the first day of the new month, June 1, the first game day of the finals, the media and fans' attention returned to Chicago, back to the Bulls and the Supersonics.

However, there was still a topic on the first day that was related to Zhang Hao. Will Jordan beating him again in anger?

Some media discovered a rule that during the regular season, Jordan scored 50+ every time he broke out, which was almost related to Zhang Hao.

Either they fight directly with Zhang Hao, or they will be raped after being left unrest by Zhang Hao, or they will be raped after being taken away by Zhang Hao.

But not every time I get connotation, every time I get snatched the headlines, Jordan's crazy shooting is always good. The Bulls lost at least two games in the regular season because Jordan was stimulated and lost the shot.

Therefore, in order to stimulate Jordan again, Time Warner Cable released a news on the morning of June 1st, Aix was the "real murderer" who prevented the Bulls from losing in single digits.

The content is probably that Zhang Hao killed the Bulls twice, and the Bulls lost twice because Jordan was stimulated by Zhang Hao...

However, Jordan has now begun to lose his temper. With the awareness of owning half of the basketball world, he is really used to being robbed of headlines...

In the first game of the finals, Jordan only made 18 shots, making 10 of 18 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, which played very reasonably.

Although the Bulls did not defend against Kemp and were beaten by Kemp 32 points and 16 rebounds, Pippen scored 21 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Kukochi, who came on as a substitute, scored 22 points. The Bulls played well in offense, defeating the Supersonics at home 107-99 and winning the first game of the finals.

However, in the second game, the Supersonics' strategy changed, and they no longer attacked Jordan, allowing Payton to defend alone.

Not to mention, the effect is really amazing. The Supersonics have a very strong defensive ability to cut off passes. They have done a very good job in playing against the Lakers and the Rockets in the West Finals. Tonight, the Bulls only had 15 assists in the game, which is incomparable to the previous game.

Moreover, Jordan only made 9 of 24 shots under Payton's defense and scored 29 points and 8 assists. Because Pippen's holding ball was limited by the threat of singles, Jordan could only hold the ball. Although there were 8 assists, the Bulls' overall offense was very bad.

The key is that Payton, who only scored 11 points, beat Ron Harper and Jordan in the last moment, scored two goals in a row, 92-88, and the Supersonics grabbed the home advantage and tied 1-1 with the Bulls.

When Payton defended Jordan alone + the Supersonics successfully cut off the Bulls' pass and receiving line, the finals started the defensive battle mode.

However, after the Supersonics tied 1-1 away, the media were watching the Bulls and promoting that the Bulls could become the best-recorded team in the finals.

But on June 6, the Bulls showed their three first-defense players' super defensive abilities.

Playing defense... Although Jordan only made 5 of 19 shots in the third game, with a shooting percentage of less than 30%, and only scored 17 points, he had 7 steals and 2 blocks!

The Bulls' offense in this game was a mess, and the team only scored 86 points, but they defended the Supersonics to only score 78 points!

86 to 78, the Bulls immediately took back the home advantage when they came to Seattle!

17 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 7 steals and 2 blocks. Jordan looked at his data. 7 steals set a new high in his personal finals steals, 16 rebounds set a new high in his personal finals rebounds, and directly grabbed the home advantage. At this time, he felt a vague feeling that he should sing a song on the spot, and he had to be the kind of breaking the sound.

Don’t ask why, asking is the awareness that half of the country should have…

Sure enough, after the game, when he was surrounded by a group of reporters after the live interview, the first question he was asked was: "Michael, I heard that the Lakers had already answered that Van Exel, who was selected as the third-tier team, traded Barkley as the core chip. Do you have any opinions on this?"

As expected, Jordan could already see the back injury that Toutiao left him... He replied expressionlessly: "Is that so, this is really good news, I wish them happiness..."

...

After arriving in Hawaii, Zhang Hao was involved in training.

After the series against the Rockets, Zhang Hao has a clearer direction on what he needs to strengthen.

Some need to wait until James Worthy's holiday is over. After the playoffs, James Worthy will have to rest for 5-6 weeks. Zhang Hao wants to learn how to use his athletic ability and body shape to strengthen the training of cutting into the attacking basket in positional battles, and needs to learn from James Worthy.

There was also a magician who asked Jabbar to teach him, but it was still early and he had to wait until August. He also asked Jason Williams to learn pick-and-roll. Jason Williams went back to his hometown to farm after the season...

Even players who have not made the playoffs have played for nearly 7 months from the start of training camp in October until the end of the regular season.

Even if you like playing basketball, you have pressure to win or lose. No matter whether you have a good rest or not, you will have a fixed game to play. After playing for at least 7 months of continuous games, you will have a period of resistance to touching basketball.

Like Zhang Hao, he only took a rest for half a month and was not yet here in June. When he came to Hawaii for vacation, he spent one morning every day and two hours training after dinner in the evening. This is also rare.

Since May 29, Zhang Hao has pulled Pierce to train simple skills of holding the ball and hitting the basket.

When I learn from James Worthy at the end of June, I must have learned the skills of not playing ball, but I can't just stop learning the ball. At least the most basic thing is to turn around and cut, the wing's catch and cut into the attack box, the bottom line into the attack box, etc., so I have to learn it well.

Unfortunately, when Zhang Hao was learning these things with Pierce, he failed to trigger the learning mode.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao can still think about it by himself during the simulation training of the learning mode, and then compare it during the daytime training. The learning speed has already made Pierce feel the urge to be autistic.

At first, Pierce was very impatient in training, and from time to time asked Zhang Hao when he would go to Barkley, but as he practiced and felt Zhang Hao's terrible learning ability, he also got involved.

As time goes by, there has been no movement between the Lakers and the Suns.

Zhang Hao and Pierce both calmed down. On the evening of June 6, Zhang Hao, who was watching the live broadcast of the Supersonics and the Bulls, received a call from Henry Thomas.

After hearing the other party say it, Zhang Hao was stunned so quickly?

So quickly decided to use a point guard who will play All-Star next season to replace a fat man without considering another fat man?

I was stunned and felt a little confused, only a few seconds.

Then, Zhang Hao fell into ecstasy!

What is patience to wait for a superstar? This is a superstar! I slowly wait for a 24-year-old superstar under the circumstances of uncertainty, yes, Zhang Hao is willing.

But you will get a veteran superstar immediately and a veteran superstar who is sure to play at the giant level next season. What other bicycle do you need?

That is, why is Van Exel...

Although the playing style is not very good, Zhang Hao likes this straightforward teammate very much.

...

On June 6, 1996, after just one week of consideration and negotiation time, the Suns released news that the Lakers agreed to use Van Exel, Donyere Marshall, and Anthony Pierre. In 1997, the Raptors' lottery zone protection was protected until 1999, which was basically unavailable for three consecutive years.

The transaction has not been reached yet. The rules do not allow it. They will be pulled into other teams for trading after the finals. See how the Suns operate.

When Zhang Hao saw this news, he felt that it was not the news released by the Suns, because the meaning of this news was obvious in order to get Barkley, the Lakers could not even get a lineup after the transaction. The only players with the contract were Doug Christie, George Lynch, Zhang Hao, plus Barkley, and the Magicians had to choose to renew the contract to get Barkley, which meant that they had done their best to get Barkley.

To directly push the transaction progress to the end, this is the smartest choice if the target has the right to jump out of the contract and is willing to come.

This chip can be exchanged for Barkley. With Barkley's salary of only US$4.7 million next season, even if it can only be used for one year, it will be a big profit!

"All are very good businessmen, but in terms of NBA trading, the operation and vision of logo men are much better than the Magician..."

Since you have chosen to introduce Barkley, such chips must be given out. Zhang Hao believes that it is the best choice to bring sincerity to full value from the beginning.

This sincerity is not to give the Suns a little reward, but to let Barkley see it.

After seeing this news, Zhang Hao and his group went to the mall to buy some gifts and prepared to visit Barkley in the evening.

Pierce never stopped talking from seeing the news to buying things, and when she came back after buying things, she was so excited that she was very excited.

Zhang Hao was convinced, Pierce could actually say different things for two hours in a row, and they were all about Barkley.

Those who don’t know thought Pierce was a hardcore fan of Barkley.

However, Zhang Hao can understand Pierce's excitement, just as the TV news said, the Lakers welcomed the strongest power forward in the team's history!

In the history of the Lakers, the point guard position has the strongest point guard magician in history, the shooting guard has the second-largest shooting guard Jerry West, and the top five small forward Elkin Baylor, the center is amazing. George McCann, Chamberlain, and Jabbar. The first center forward from the establishment of the NBA to the end of the 1980s, except Russell, has played in the Lakers and helped the Lakers win the championship.

With the power forward position as a miserable position, before Barkley joined, Zhang Hao was already the strongest performance of the power forward in the Lakers' rookie season.

When George McCann, Chamberlain, Jabbar and others were there, the Lakers' power forward only needed a blue-collar job.

After selling things, the group returned to the villa and saw a fat man walking back and forth at the door sign.

Zhang Hao was very surprised. They were about to visit Barkley, but Barkley actually came first!

...

Zhang Hao found out where Barkley lived, and the media also knew that Barkley had come to Hawaii. Naturally, the incident of Zhang Hao coming to Hawaii was also exposed by the media, and Barkley also found out where Zhang Hao lived.

It doesn't take the initiative to say that Barkley can guess why Zhang Hao is here.

Therefore, after the media exposed the Lakers' sincere offer, Barkley immediately came to Zhang Hao's residence.

He liked what Zhang Hao said very much, "Jordan has a teammate." Now, Sir Taba also has it!

but……

After being invited into the living room, Barkley was a little frizzy...

The rookie in front of me is so calm!

"Mr. Barkley, I'm really happy to have the opportunity to be a teammate with you."

The word "sir" made Barkley extremely uncomfortable.

Although Barkley admires Zhang Hao's politeness, he is still so polite...

After entering the living room and greeting Zhang Hao, the whole family, Barkley finally couldn't help it when he heard Zhang Hao ask, "Mr. Barkley, do you drink black tea?"

Barkley forced himself to interrupt Zhang Hao's overly polite way of speaking: "Aix, just call me Charles, otherwise you can call me Jazz. I like this nickname."

"Okay, Mr. Jazz."

Mr. Jazz... Anyway, it sounds more comfortable than Mr. Barkley, and Barkley also admits it. He does like Zhang Hao's politeness. You can't teach a 19-year-old child to be impolite, right?

Ignore this issue first, and then ask Zhang Hao to change his name when he has the chance. Barkley said: "I don't like black tea. Does it have juice? It would be even better if there is milk tea, I want double sugar."

Double sugar... Zhang Hao quickly looked at Barkley's figure... Well, there is no need to worry that Barkley is too fat and affects his condition. He is already in this shape, and he can still run around the field like a small forward and pull up a dunk at the basket. It doesn't matter.

"There is a milk tea shop nearby. Paul, please buy a cup of milk tea and double sugar."

Zhang Hao said to Pierce, and Pierce immediately went to buy milk tea.

Their strongest forward in the history of the Lakers is here! As a spiritual shareholder, Pierce is even more excited than Zhang Hao and can't even speak clearly.
To be continued...
