215. Please stop working hard!
People already feel that it is normal for Zhang Hao to get 20+ or 30+.
He averaged 27 points per game in the rookie season and scored the record of second place in the league in the West. After being selected for a while, he had to enjoy this performance that was absolutely incredible at his age but was regarded as an ordinary glory.
Even if O'Neal was not injured at the start, his performance declined compared to last season and would still cause doubts.
However, if you get 40+, it will be different.
50+ is rare, 60+ is hard to find. For the judgment of whether a scorer is a top scorer, the number of times you get 40+ is definitely one of the best judgments.
Since the NBA entered the modern basketball era in 1976, a player who can get at least 10 single-game 40+ in his career can definitely be called a first-class scorer from the time he gets 40+ in his first single-game to the last time; if he gets 20 times, he can be called a top scorer.
Zhang Hao scored 40 points in the game against the Timberwolves. This is the 10th time in his career that he has 40+ in a single game. He only took 87 games to tie Michael Jordan and scored 40+ in a single game in 108 games, becoming the fastest player to get 10 single game 40+ in a single game in the modern basketball era!
After the game against the Timberwolves, Zhang Hao finally made a serious headline.
However, what is even more popular is another topic that Zhang Hao provoked the Timberwolves before the game, provoked Garnett, and boldly said that he wanted to sweep the emerging team Timberwolves.
The TV station edited the scene of Zhang Hao's provocation. At that time, Zhang Hao pointed at Garnett in the live screen, but there was no detail at all when the camera at that angle. As for the sound, no fans on the scene heard it clearly, and the current technology did not have an anti-noise radio.
But after the game, because the ratings of this game were quite good and the whole game was good at playing against each other, T was preparing to use it as a replay program the next afternoon.
When re-editing the video, the editor who spoke a little lip once again noticed Zhang Hao pointing to Garnett's scene when he was cutting the clip at the beginning of the competition, and changed to a non-main shot. He happened to face Zhang Hao faced him faced him faced him faced him. The editor saw the scene where Zhang Hao spoke, and there was a word that was "sweeping".
This is a burst of points!
Immediately, the editor notified his boss, and the boss also attached great importance to it. It was too easy for the TV station to find someone who could read lip... Then, although this matter did not make the headlines, it became popular after mentioning it in sports news!
The next morning, the media asked the referee and other players about this and was proven.
So, at noon the next day, this topic became the hottest topic. The competition for the 1995th genius power forward began!
Originally, the 96th rookie performed well at the start after entering the NBA. Although he was not as brilliant as Zhang Hao, his overall quality was much better than that of the 95th, and he became the new darling of the media. However, Zhang Hao provoked Garnett and made bold statements. In addition, there are also follow-ups. The Lakers and Timberwolves will have to fight three more times this season. After Zhang Hao's 40-point single-game vs. Garnett's triple-double performance, the two have to fight three more times!
Zhang Hao was provocative and scored 10 points higher than Garnett. In the eyes of the media, this is almost certain to be done, and there is no suspense.
But who can tell the truth about winning or losing in the game?
The Timberwolves' three-wolf combination has proved their talent and style of play from the preseason and the start of the regular season games. The teams who compete for the championship dare not say that they will win them in a game with very little preparation time in the regular season. Zhang Hao has to sweep in one game... He booked the popularity of the next match in advance!
Not to mention anything else, if the Celtics, who have lost five consecutive games at the start, if the Celtics' talented rookie Anthony Walker says they can defeat the Bulls, the next time the two teams meet, it will also attract the attention of many fans and media.
Zhang Hao, Garnett, and Marbury are all the best talented players among the new generation of players. They have already paid high attention to their competition in the same game. Now, as soon as this news comes out, it has been verified by the referees and players. The two teams have already had two set national live broadcasts this season. Now, in the other two games, several TV stations are also rushing to add broadcasts!
...
...
He won another hot news, but the topic became strange in the end, and Zhang Hao was helpless.
However, he really likes the feeling of staying in the spotlight now. He can not show his face in front of the media during the offseason. That is his time to practice in slump, but in the new season, when he starts to show his strength after improvement, he is very eager to be seen by more people.
Both the magician and the logo man concluded that the hidden things under his poker face would definitely fall in love with Los Angeles' unique conditions. As it turned out, they guessed it right.
The news is ongoing and the time is also ongoing.
Just played back to back. On November 9, the Lakers had a day off and did not arrange training. Tomorrow's opponent, the Hawks, came to Los Angeles at noon.
Last night, the Hawks defeated the Supersonics and won five straight wins.
Originally, this game was not regarded as a popular game when setting the schedule, but as a game that the Lakers could easily win, but now it is different.
The Hawks started this year with a surprising start. Last year, they felt like they were about to fall out of the playoffs. Everyone was laughing at them for sending Wilkins away. When Wilkins announced their comeback this summer, the Hawks hoped that Wilkins would come back, but they were rejected, and they were laughed at again.
But now, fans are beginning to sympathize with Wilkins. Wilkins went to hug the Spurs and lost four consecutive times at the beginning. David Robinson averaged only 15 points and 7 rebounds at the beginning, and continued to be troubled by injuries. Wilkins, who is about to be 37, averaged 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists at the beginning, became the Spurs' thigh.
The Hawks won all five games in the first five and became one of the only four teams in the league that have not been defeated so far. The other three teams are the Bulls, Jazz and Lakers.
In order to revive the top talented new power forward Antonio McDyce during the offseason, the Nuggets did not renew their contract with Mutombo, who claimed to have just turned 30. The Eagles gave a 5-year, $56 million contract and won it.
Much Brelock, Steve Smith, Tyrone Corbyn, Kristen Letterner, Mutombo's core lineup.
In this lineup, except for the 35-year-old Tyron Corbyn, the forward guard who is a role player, the worst of the others are All-Star marginal.
And if Wilkins agrees to come back in the summer, it will be his.
When Zhang Hao saw the Eagles scout report and noticed the not-so-popular analysis of the grievances and revenge between the Eagles and Wilkins, he felt that such things were all hindsights.
He was completely unaware of the situation of the Hawks' character team in the 1990s. Anyway, when he saw Mutombo joining the Hawks, he thought of only the future Hawks would send him to partner with Iverson and help Iverson reach the finals. How could he think the Hawks would play so well in the new season?
It seems that the Hawks are about to rebuild last season. As a result, Lanny Wilkens, a man who was extremely coquettish in his player and coaching days, revitalized the Hawks!
Regarding the Eagles, what Zhang Hao noticed was that they, the head coach, went to check the information specifically, but Zhang Hao didn't expect that this man would have such a bug, which was no worse than Larry Bird!
When I was a player, I played in the 1960s, and I was not with the Celtics. There was nothing I could do without a championship, but I was selected as the top 50 superstars in my personal performance.
The famous player who serves as head coaches is Bill Russell, and Lanny Wilkens has done it. He was also selected as an All-Star as a player in those years.
In the coaching era, I helped the Supersonics win the championship, led the team to the first place in the division and four times as the All-Star head coach. In 1992, I became the first head coach in NBA history to win a thousand wins. Now, I am doing the head coach and taking over some of the general manager's work, so I have brought the Eagles back to life...
After seeing Lanny Wilkens's resume, Zhang Hao was extremely restless. Isn't this the player he wants to be?
...
After a day off, the Lakers ushered in a game against the Hawks at home.
With strong confidence, perhaps a little bit of contempt for a team like the Hawks with an "unexpected good record", just like many teams despise them in the early and mid-season of last season. The Lakers were full of confidence at the beginning of today's game... and then they were beaten 32-19 in the first quarter.
Many Lakers players were stunned by 13 points behind in a single quarter.
After entering the period of rest, Zhang Hao, who was completely blocked by close attack in the first quarter, felt that he was not good at all and had to be restless. Now it was not a question of whether their offense was good or not, but that they were beaten by the opponent and didn't know how to respond, and their morale declined!
Maybe it's a good thing to come, and you're really going to be whatever you want. At the beginning of the second quarter, James Robinson, who was in the rotation, served as the main shooting point in the back line when Kenny Anderson was resting, and received Brian Shawce's pass, but unfortunately he didn't make an open shot.
But Henry James, who was originally chasing Zhang Hao from the outside, made up for it when James Robinson received the ball and shot.
This is a good supplementary defense, and may also give James Robinson a certain amount of psychological pressure.
But, for Mutombo, this is a tragic thing.
With Henry James limiting Zhang Hao's speed, Mutombo in the interior, the reason why the Hawks can limit Zhang Hao in the first quarter, but this time, the Hawks' joint defense was cut off!
In the preseason and after the start of the regular season, Zhang Hao followed Jason Williams to study his teammates' shooting. When James Robinson shot, he felt deviated and rushed in without any obstacles. When Mutombo was all paying attention to the position with Jason Williams, Zhang Hao rushed towards the position where the two competed, jumped high. After the ball hit the basket, the direction of the ball popping out was really the position where the two top rebounding players competed for!
The two men who were competing for the position were about to jump, but they found that the lights were dimming and were hit behind them... Zhang Hao pressed the ball back to the basket on Mutombo and Jason Williams and completed the re-dunk!
To really make rebounding predictions like Jason Williams and Rodman, Zhang Hao found that he couldn't do it. These two people were most of the energy to focus on this job. He didn't have that time and didn't have as good talent as the two, but he did not give up. He chose to pay attention to the shooting point and the change in the angle of the ball leaving the hand when shooting, and only focused on his teammates. At least he had to determine whether the teammates would shoot a high probability of shooting, be prepared to retreat or take the right distance to rush.
This time, Zhang Hao made new discoveries!
He does not have the ability to judge the rebounding point based on the shooting arc of his teammates or opponents, but when he judges that his teammates have made a high probability of hitting shot, he can grab the rebound based on the direction of Jason Williams' movement...help Jason Williams grab the rebound!
He was locked up by his teammates, and this teammate did this kind of thing. Jason Williams wanted to scold the streets, but he was extremely excited inside. With a complicated mood, Jason Williams and his teammates who were also excited again and were active again started to fight again.
Zhang Hao's re-dumping brought obvious effects. The Lakers and the Hawks were anxious for a while, narrowed the 5-point difference in the second quarter, and scored 31-26.
But in the third quarter, the Lakers were hit by the Hawks' fast-paced positional offense and excellent team defense, and the score difference suddenly widened from 8 points to 17 points.
Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson tried every means to catch up with points. After reaching the official timeout in the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao scored 4 goals and scored 10 points in 3 minutes. Kenny Anderson also used Zhang Hao to threaten to create a three-point opportunity for Doug Christie and hit it. During this period, the Hawks missed four consecutive attacks. The Lakers scored a 13-0 wave, narrowing the gap between the official 18 points before the timeout to 5 points.
However, the Hawks were not defeated and recovered. Veteran Brelock, the favorite to three-pointers this season, took advantage of the Lakers' opportunity to shrink defense like in the previous few rounds, and made a three-pointer shot after the cover to help the Hawks stabilize the situation.
In the end, although Zhang Hao scored 14 points in the last quarter, helping the Lakers score 34-24 in the last quarter and narrowed the score difference by 10 points in a single quarter, the Hawks, who led 90-71 in the first three quarters, still laughed to the end.
32 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 2 steals, and his shooting percentage also turned into 12 of 24 shots by the final score of 4 goals. Zhang Hao's performance is remarkable. The Lakers narrowed the gap several times, which was what he helped to drive morale. Kenny Anderson had the opportunity to lead his teammates to launch an attack.
But the 19-32 first quarter was too hurt.
With a 9-point difference, 105-114, the Lakers lost at home, and the five consecutive wins were ended, and the Hawks won the start of the 6-game winning streak!
...
...
The next morning after the game against the Hawks, the Lakers set off for Houston, and the next two consecutive away games were Texas. Now, there is no such thing as the top three in Texas.
If you want to talk about what combination nicknames the three Texas teams now have, it is the ATM triangle.
The Mavericks have a poor record. It can be predicted that the old coach resigned, and all the three cores formed in the past few years have been traded. Duncan is about to participate in the draft... There are 14 teams in the Western Conference, with 6 teams starting the game and winning less than two games. The Clippers have played 5 games since the start of the new season, with 2 wins and 3 losses, ranking eighth in the Western Conference.
The Rockets lost 1 win and 5 losses, and the Spurs lost 6 consecutive losses at the beginning...
Which team will go to Texas for a walk at this time and you may win a series of consecutive victories.
Zhang Hao looked at the scout reports of the Rockets and Spurs. The Rockets have improved. The Spurs seem to have a tendency to give up. It is said that Spurs vice president Popovich has the possibility of firing head coach Popo Hill.
There is not much to refer to in the scout report. The teams that have been losing all the time have various lost postures in every game... not at all.
However, there is a saying in the scout report that Zhang Hao finds it very useful and also very eye-catching. The Rockets' new twin towers may cause them a lot of trouble.
Thinking about the beginning of the season, 10 game days passed. Before the season started, Zhang Hao would not have thought that the Lakers would be beaten to the inside line now? Although Mutombo is indeed a difficult defensive player to deal with, he is currently at his peak and the most popular best defensive player after the start of the new season...
Looking at Barkley who was sleeping soundly after getting on the plane, Zhang Hao admitted that this Hawks, who had a good start, had no desire to attack independently when they were not regarded as the opponent of the championship competition team last season. They seemed to be preparing to pretend to be dead and play against a strong team.
This is no problem. He has the strength. He plays for about 20 minutes per game and maintains a competitive state. In fact, it is more beneficial to the Lakers' late season, but he, Zhang, has to work harder in the early stage.
But another person...
"Shake O'Neal, 24 years old, 216 cm, 133 kg..."
"What's this guy doing? I remember when I just came back from the third consecutive guest, I saw that his weight was 136 kilograms. In just a few days, what about the 3 kilograms of meat?
Why are you going to lose weight if you have nothing to do? Have you trained? Oh... Has your hooking hands increased a little?
Damn! Have you tried hard? Can't you have a good rest?"
Looking at O'Neal's latest player detection report, Zhang Hao couldn't help but complain wildly.
Zhang Hao is really worried about O'Neal's situation!
However, such words can only be whispered inwardly and cannot be said. No matter what reason is, they cannot be said, otherwise they will be regarded as ulterior motives, which will be even more troublesome.
The most talented new generation star recognized, said to the strongest player in the same team, "Don't train, gain weight well", this...
"O'Neal's injury is almost healed. After the two consecutive away games, he may come back? He has to fly in a row, so tired, he shouldn't be able to train, right? Fortunately, this two consecutive away games have 50 superstars. He wants to take a photo before the game, otherwise he will leave him in Los Angeles. Who knows if he will run to train secretly again...
I hope he will be very tired after his comeback because of playing games, and will no longer think about training but be lazy..."
