"There are so many things to take on in singles! Is this why O'Neal wants to match Kobe, the Turtle needs to carry a schoolbag, and Green wants to drag Curry?"

Although it was unexpected, Zhang Hao felt very happy that I was not robbing the right to take action! Everyone has seen that scoring so high is an unexpected situation, and my playing style is very effective. Boss Kenny and Erpang, who is willing to work hard, can play more resolutely without any worries, and if there is a blame to be thrown away...

"Playing with superstars requires someone like me who is willing to contribute silently."

Zhang Hao felt helpless. A team always needs to take the blame. He can only come. What should he do? He wants to laugh out loud. He quickly suppressed his face and kept his cold face.

After returning to the locker room, Del Harris looked at the playoff level game written in the notebook, singles tactics, the final ending point of the dead child, and the effect A.

This evaluation is very high. The O'Neal's singles tactics written in his small notebook are also A.

Effect A, only O'Neal's team play style, while A+ is still empty for the time being.

In the first game of the season, I unexpectedly developed a style of play that was effective enough to reach the A-level. Del Harris was in a good mood.

Although the team tactics are almost impossible to fight against the Knicks, it doesn’t matter, and the opponent is the same. Everyone can be regarded as new teams, and most of the players have been replaced, and the next step is to rely on the stars.

In terms of playing styles that also rely on stars, although the Knicks' singles effect is not worse than that of the Lakers' Kenny Anderson, Barkley, and Doug Christie.

But there are two points, their Lakers are stronger.

The first is the rush to attack rebounds. Barkley, Jason Williams, and George Lynch are always there, and they grab offensive rebounds very well.

The second is Zhang Hao...

Zhang Hao, who entered his second season, has improved his shooting accuracy compared to his rookie year. Obviously, the top level is not his limit, it is still growing, and his shooting speed has obviously become faster, and his ability to take the pot is more stable, and his shooting ability is difficult to interfere with has become stronger... It is simpler to grow taller again... Judging from the registration information for the new season, his hands are longer.

However, it can be seen that Zhang Hao's use of his physical conditions has become better.

This kind of thing is simple, but in the NBA, there are many players who are not good at using their physical fitness. This is actually never a simple thing. It requires great talent. Some people will never learn it in their entire lives.

After the advantage is played, we will continue. During the half-time break, Del Harris made targeted adjustments to allow the star's singles tactics to be better played. As for tactical matters, one can be played occasionally, and I will talk about it later.

After the second half of the game started, the Lakers' style of playing was more firm, and the receivers did better in details than in the first half.

The Knicks also made adjustments. It seemed that Zhang Hao's playing style inspired Van Gundy, and Van Gundy began to let Alan Houston use a style similar to Zhang Hao's play.

But Zhang Hao did better than Alan Houston in the same way of playing!

First of all, Alan Houston has never played like this. He can hold the ball. Sometimes the tactics of the Pistons revolve around him. Originally, the Knicks' tactics were the same. He was used as the restraint and the first shot point to create opportunities for others or create opportunities for him. The tactics are similar to the Pacers' tactics.

Also, I really have to take the blame. Even if the regular mid-range shooting of Alan Houston is worse than Zhang Hao and three-pointers are better, but when taking the shot, it is not necessarily the best shooting opportunity. In this case, Alan Houston is not as good as Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao raises the ball, and it is almost impossible for the Knicks to get a hat!

In the inside singles, Barkley is stronger than Ewing and Larry Johnson, and Kenny Anderson is stronger than either Starks or Chiles in the outside singles. Barkley's physical strength is better than the Lakers' expected. Zhang Hao, who was killed in singles, is better at catching the ball and throwing the ball than Alan Houston, when the two teams fought hard to defend and reached the peak in the third quarter, the gap in strength appeared.

The Lakers scored the score in the third quarter, and they scored 15 points ahead and entered the final quarter!

In the end, after the scores played by the two teams in the last quarter, the Lakers defeated the Knicks and won the defensive battle!

Zhang Hao scored 1 of 2 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 30 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks!

In the whole game, Zhang Hao did everything very simple, and he supported him less than last season. He only had a stunning pass and a counterattack to pass the ball, but he was gone.

In terms of shooting, 21 shots, 13 of which were not played by teammates, and they threw the pass to him without any other better chances, and he shot 6.

The rest is to seize the opportunity to counterattack, and scored 4 counterattacks in the whole game, with 3 successful strikes.

Only 5 successful shots were regular running catches.

It seems that Zhang Hao's tactical position and performance space have decreased, but at the last glance, Zhang Hao's 21 shots were the highest in the game, which was more than Larry Johnson's 20 shots.

Scoring 30 points, there are more than Larry Johnson who scored 27 points on the opponent, and more than Barkley who scored 26 points on the Lakers.

In the final quarter, the TV commentator was analyzing whether Zhang Hao's playing style was whether the team's requirements for him had become higher or his tactical status had really decreased. Time Warner Cable Sports' Bill Walton and Hubby Brown competed for this.

Bill Walton firmly believes that the Lakers' use of Zhang Hao has become worse.

But Huby Brown felt that this was trust in Zhang Hao's top shooting in the league, and it was difficult to do what Zhang Hao did. Few people in the league had the ability to take the blame and shoot like Zhang Hao, saying that this was a reflection of the Lakers' trust in Zhang Hao.

There are also the counterattacks made by Zhang Hao. These counterattacks were basically all he grabbed the rebound and promoted the counterattack. The Knicks defended their team against each other very well.

But even Bill Walton, who had the "revenge of taking the son", was surprised by Zhang Hao's progress.

A former head coach like Bill Walton, who has won the best coach like Huby Brown, can see Zhang Hao's progress in the past summer more clearly and explain it to fans who don't understand, because only looking at the data, Zhang Hao's average performance seems to have not changed much compared to last season.

This kind of progress is simply incredible! Often, even a genius player in his 20s, he either practices more skills and seeks progress in the new season in a summer, or practices better things, but he still has to take the full advantage.

But Zhang Hao seemed to have practiced a lot in a summer, but the reinforcement aspect has greatly improved his current playing style during the game.

In this case, no matter whether Zhang Hao has a clear judgment on what skills he needs, targeted training, or Zhang Hao has improved everything to a good level after practicing, it is terrible!

The former requires excellent self-judgment and the ability to focus on training, while the latter is even more terrifying.

But no matter which one, Zhang Hao's overall improvement based on his already-playing style last season is too fast!

Also, compared with last season, Zhang Hao's physical strength has become better. After playing for 40 minutes, he still looks sufficient in the final quarter.

After the game, when Zhang Hao was asked about the total singles in the game in an interview, Zhang Hao replied: "I want to win easily, and I didn't work hard on the offensive end. It's not a tactical problem. I told them that I wanted to hold their thighs, but I don't know why I got 30 points. What can I do?"

...

The Lakers didn't play well in the opening game, but they just had to win the game in the end.

After the game, the Lakers held a post-match meeting and analyzed the game tonight.

In the opening game of the regular season, the Knicks set the game tone as the playoffs from the beginning, with high intensity confrontation and super low rhythm, so the Lakers can only face the challenge.

This situation is also rare.

But this also verifies that when the referee's call scale becomes loose, the probability of winning against defense is always higher than that of attack.

More importantly, it tests the abilities of Kenny Anderson and Barkley, as well as Zhang Hao's progress!

Kenny Anderson has been training to lose weight since he joined the Lakers in early August this summer and has been in a state at the beginning. It can only be said that working hard also depends on the environment. If you play in a bad team, many people may not be motivated, such as Kenny Anderson, but it is different to come to the Lakers. If no one encourages him, he will also make adjustments consciously.

If it was the strength of last year's playoffs, Zhang Hao encountered the performance of the Knicks' high-intensity defense today and could not make a shot in the cliff. The key point is his weight and strength improvement. Of course, the skill has become more solid, which is also very important. This is a comprehensive improvement.

The most amazing thing is Barkley's performance. He showed his true thigh strength in the opening game. From the offense alone, it is really hard to say which one of the young sharks is better in singles.

Of course, if O'Neal is there, the inside defense will be much better.

However, the game was so smooth that it would make the opponent unable to turn the tables after finding a way, which was related to Ewing's decline.

It seems that Ewing made easy to shoot 3 assists and 2 blocks on 16, and the assists and blocks were better than in previous years, and it was better to find easy shots. However, after Ewing lost weight, he almost directly changed from a strong offensive point to a tactical link.

It is indeed possible to feel that Ewing played better and easier, but in the playoffs, Ewing's style of playing became the icing on the cake of the second and third-in-command style of playing. He wanted him to open up the situation, at least he didn't see it tonight.

After analyzing the pros and cons of tactics, the differences in players' performance, and knowing that tactical exercises are not good. When facing an opponent like the Knicks, it is rare to play the expected tactics once in 10 attacks, and it still requires hard work... and so on.

The entire Lakers team happily accepted the opening game. No matter how they played, they would be happy if they won!

...

...

After the opening game with the Knicks, the Lakers flew to another country outside the northeastern border of the United States, Toronto, Canada early the next morning.

At the beginning of the three consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference, Zhang Hao still had to play in Toronto, which had already turned on the ice and snow mode. He felt a little annoying.

After arriving in Toronto, Zhang Hao stayed in his room and stopped going out, so he read the sports newspaper delivered by the waiter.

Last night, all the superstars except O'Neal appeared.

Some performed well, some performed mediocrely, and Robert Parish must have performed mediocrely. This is what the Bulls signed back to deal with O'Neal. The Bulls signed a total of three substitute centers in the offseason, with obvious intentions.

Olajuwon's mediocre performance made Zhang Hao very regretful. Olajuwon's energy seemed to have been leaked after failing to win three consecutive championships.

There are many reports about their Lakers and Knicks games, but they are not very popular news, because from the three quarters and the final score, the game seems to be the Lakers that stabilize the Knicks. Their Lakers stars perform very average, with Zhang Hao 30 points, Barkley 26 points, Kenny Anderson 15 points and 7 assists, and the Magician 7 points and 5 assists, without any explosive points.

After resting in the hotel for a day, the next day, on November 3, the second day of the Lakers' second regular season game was here, and they challenged the Raptors away.

At 6 p.m., the game between the Lakers and the Raptors started.

The Lakers are very focused and their tactical adjustments are very quickly different when they are playing against the Knicks because of the opponent's five major deterrence. Today, the Lakers are playing the game as a tactical drill.

In addition, Barkley has no motivation to play against the Raptors, so he honestly does the job of rushing, catching balls and grabbing defensive rebounds. However, when playing against the Raptors, no one on the Lakers cares whether Barkley works hard or not.

Now, after playing tactics, Kenny Anderson and the Magic performed well in the alternating play. Kenny Anderson scored 16 points and 4 assists in the first half, and the Magic scored 10 points and 5 assists in the first half. The two were still staggered. Kenny Anderson played for 13 minutes and the Magic scored 11 minutes.

But the Lakers are far less serious than playing the Knicks in the last game, and are far less good at playing the Knicks.

The Lakers scored 59 points in the first half and the Raptors scored 53 points in the first half!

The 6-point lead failed to play a good buffering role this time. In the third quarter, Damon Stoudemire scored 17 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, helping the Raptors scored 34 points in a single quarter, and played the Lakers.

After the third quarter, the Lakers went from leading by 6 points to falling behind by two points!

In the final quarter, the Lakers wanted to get serious, but the Raptors had already shown morale. Although Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, and Zhang Hao were all fighting hard in the last quarter. Although Zhang Hao used the "Peter's Physical Pool" for two consecutive games, he only stabilized the situation. The score continued to be tight, and the Lakers were always behind 3-5 points.

When the game was in seconds, the Lakers were 4 points behind the Raptors!

Finally, Barkley stood up at a critical moment, and missed a three-point shot from Zhang Hao outside the three-point line. Barkley grabbed the offensive rebound and scored 2+1!

In the next defensive round, when Damon Stodmeier was spending time dribbling, Zhang Hao, who was defending Stodmeier, accurately judged that the opponent had to do it himself. He decisively chose to block the shot when defending Stodmeier alone, and successfully interfered with it. Damon Stodmeier, who had already scored 38 points tonight, did not score a goal with a key advantage, and Zhang Hao grabbed the defensive rebound by himself.

When Zhang Hao caught the rebound, there were only 7 seconds left to the end of the game. He did not call a timeout, so he directly launched a counterattack!

In 4 seconds, he grabbed the rebound from the basket and rushed to the frontcourt to complete the dunk. Zhang Hao rushed forward without any speed like he played in the first half and played in the second half!

"Kill (Gold)" triggered!

With the Raptors serving out after the timeout and missed a three-pointer for Damon Stodmeier, the Lakers relied on Barkley's offensive rebounding 2+1, and Zhang Hao's key defensive counterattack with one-stop dunk to score a 5-0 wave. The Lakers narrowly defeated the Raptors!

Damon Stoudemire got an assist tonight and was in his first triple-double in his career. His performance could not be better, but he still lost to the guy on the other side!
