Relying on Nash to score 7 points in the last few minutes of the second quarter, Rashid Wallace made a tip-in and Aaron McGee made a counterattack dunk... When the Trail Blazers finished the half-time game, they almost kept their slight lead and entered the midfield with a 57-55 win.

With 13 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, Zhang Hao performed well for more than 17 minutes in the first half, especially in the second half of the second quarter, he scored 5 points, 5 assists and 1 block, which was simply explosive! He helped the Lakers score 18-15 in those 5 minutes, and helped the Lakers score 31-29 in the second quarter, narrowing the gap of two points.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Trail Blazers are even more excited.

Zhang Hao has played like that, and their Trail Blazers continue to maintain the lead!

Moreover, in the second half of the second quarter, they only had Nash's strength. Nash's teammates trusted him very much. If Nash had not had enough strength when he needed to score on the outside main attack, his strength could have been played for 40 minutes or even longer.

Rashid Wallace, Sabonis, and other scorers didn't make much effort in the second half of the second quarter. Doug Christie on the Lakers could not defend Nash, and no one else had made up for defense. Others participated in the offense very few times. It seemed that in the second half of the second quarter, Nash fought the entire Lakers defense alone. Others could regain their strength, so why wouldn't they be excited?

Nash is very happy now. After the first half, he felt like he was walking with wind on his way back to the locker room...

The halftime break ended soon, and the two teams returned to the court after making adjustments.

The Lakers sent a combination of Fisher, Brian Xiao, Zhang Hao, Magician, and Jeromy Colsey.

The Trail Blazers sent Nash, Aaron McGee, Stesey Ogmon, Rashid Wallace and Chris Dudley.

Originally, Nash couldn't play for that long because he was still not able to play singles. When he needed to play singles from outside, he would be very weak in the main attack, so Robert Pike needed to play.

But Nash performed so well in singles tonight and was replaced.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers attacked first. The Trail Blazers coach was originally planning to let the players play pick-and-roll again in the third quarter. Nash's scoring threat tonight should be big enough, but the Lakers used Brian Xiao to defend Nash instead of the faster and more powerful rookie Fisher to defend.

Nash tried a singles and made a jump shot that broke to the bottom line. He decisively chose to do it himself.

They are all scoring. When he met two opponents of Doug Christie and Brian Xiao, two speed-defying players, who were defending against average speed players, he had to be more relaxed in singles than organizing offenses, and his physical strength could be held back... Who doesn't like to score points? After hitting the first attack in the third quarter, Nash's personal score has been increased to 20 points! The second time in the rookie season, 20+ in a single game, and there is still half-time time, he wants to score higher. If, if his score is higher than Zhang Hao tonight... he can't stop thinking about it and becoming more excited!

When the Lakers attacked, Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, ended the offensive ball control mission, passed the ball to Zhang Hao, who ran to the left of the free throw line with Jeromi Colsey, who covered the screen and ran to Zhang Hao on the left side of the free throw line, and then cut into the inside.

Nash and Rashid Wallace, who had been caught out after the defense, attacked Zhang Hao, who was receiving the ball. Zhang Hao jumped up and passed the ball again. Fisher cut into the ball and made a layup with Chris Dudley!

The 22-year-old rookie Fisher is really strong and fast, 185 cm, 90 kilograms, 91 speed, and has a good running and jumping ability. He dares to take action when he needs him, and will not be discouraged by his previous mistakes and has strong stress resistance.

The two teams continued their playing style in the last half of the first half at the beginning of the third quarter. The Trail Blazers were still Nash's main attacker, and the best chance was that he himself, and the opponent did not attack him as a rookie. He didn't need to think about how to pass the ball, he just needed to try his best to throw the ball in.

The Lakers continue to play Zhang Hao's catch-up support + singles shooting style.

This looks very much like Zhang Hao wants to compete with Nash and wants to fight Nash alone!

This seems to be the case. Anyway, Nash had such an idea, and the fans on the scene also had such an idea. Seeing Zhang Hao and Nash fighting with the same hairstyle, you and I competed with each other, the second half of the first half was fine. At the beginning of the third quarter, the fans on the scene began to cheer excitedly!

Some people booed Nash, a rookie, and some people cheered and shouted "X" after he scored a goal, which made Nash very excited. All the original doubts were thrown aside. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity tonight to compete with Zhang Hao once, and it would be better to beat Zhang Hao! Such an opportunity is so rare!

The game was not much the same as the Trail Blazers expected, but Nash's singles efficiency was indeed high. In the first half of the third quarter, Nash scored 10 points alone, and the Trail Blazers scored 14 points in the half quarter.

The Lakers scored 13 points in the first half of the third quarter, which was not as efficient as the second half of the second quarter, because P-J Calesimo made quite effective defensive adjustments to Zhang Hao's playing style, and played a better defense than the second half of the second quarter.

The Trail Blazers continued to maintain their lead 71-68!

After the official timeout in the third quarter, Zhang Hao came up and turned around and rushed straight to the basket with a 2+1 score and made a free throw to tie the score.

But immediately, Nash made a three-pointer from the outside single, widening the gap to three-pointers again.

It was the Lakers' offense again. Zhang Hao came to the middle distance of the baseline on the left, leaning against Stacey Ogmon and received a pass from Fisher, making a turn-over jump shot!

From the second half of the second quarter to the first half of the third quarter, Zhang Hao did not make a strong shot, and his shooting style was quite beneficial to his accumulation of touch. Now he began to play singles in the way he was good at, hitting two goals in a row!

This time, Zhang Hao's personal score also increased to 21 points!

Nash was even more excited when he saw Zhang Hao start to attack. However, this time, after he advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Zhang Hao guarding the top arc!

Nash was so stupid that he insisted on singles against Zhang Hao, so he chose to find Rashid Wallace to pick-and-roll.

Zhang Hao did not change to the pick-and-roll and pulled Rashid Wallace to the left side of the three-second zone, but instead went around to block Nash's pick-and-roll jump shot space, and attacked Nash with Jeromy Colsey who was defending!

The defensive pressure encountered by Nash suddenly increased! Fortunately, he reacted quickly and sent the ball to Rashid Wallace in time.

only……

Rashid Wallace has almost never made a long-range shot since the first quarter, scoring 6 points, two points were tip-offs, two points caused the opponent to foul the free throw, and two points were receiving the ball in a counterattack.

Rashid Wallace took the ball and shot hard in the middle!

The Magician grabbed the rebound and landed and sent it directly into a long quarterback teleport. After Rashid Wallace hit the basket, he immediately made a quick move. He chased Nash behind a step outside the free throw line and started with "single" full power!

The fastest counterattack speed in the whole game! Zhang Hao succeeded in the counterattack dunk!

75-74, the Lakers overtook 1 point!

The offense and defense conversion, Nash's speed of receiving and serving was obviously faster this time...

The situation suddenly became very tense! Although the score difference was not widened before, the Trail Blazers have always maintained a weak lead. The mood of leading by 1 point and falling behind by 1 point are very different. They have been leading by 1-4 points, and suddenly falling behind by 1 point, Nash was a little panicked.

Fortunately, Rashid Wallace helped block Zhang Hao, blocking it very solidly. Nash successfully broke through with the pick-and-roll and calmed down a lot. Facing Jeromy Colsey, he took a step back to defend against the breakthrough, Zhang Hao caught up from the back to prevent the shooting, Nash seized the opportunity and passed it to Rashid Wallace in the middle distance on the left again.

If you don't score a goal, Nash will not say he won't pass it.

But Nash has confidence in Rashid Wallace. Rashid Wallace himself has no confidence. He hasn't shot for too long. His touch has cooled down. After receiving the ball, hesitated for a moment and chose to break through to the basket!

Chris Dudley is very experienced. He stuck the Magician with a position and grabbed the board at the basket, and did not give the Magician a chance to block it. Rashid Wallace entered the three-second zone and jumped up the ball and smashed it into the basket... "Bang"...

Zhang Hao's shrinking hat!

Zhang Hao, who was chasing Nash on the line, flew directly past Nash after Nash passed the ball. Rashid Wallace hesitated for a moment and chose to break through after receiving the ball. Zhang Hao, who was rushing under the basket from a distance, arrived first, giving Rashid Wallace a big hat!

It was clean and neat, and this time the blocking didn't even have a physical confrontation, and he slapped the ball in Rashid Wallace's hand!

The Magic turned flexibly and grabbed the blocked rebound. After finishing the block, Zhang Hao landed and rushed directly to the frontcourt!

The Magic did not pass the ball at the first time this time. After pushing a few steps, he gave it to Fisher who was about to go down. Fisher passed the ball to Zhang Hao who was about to go down the left. Zhang Hao received the ball. The "single" trigger speed increased to 94 and did not completely get rid of his opponent. However, it was Nash who was attached to him... It doesn't matter. Zhang Hao held his arm to protect the ball and rushed into the inside. Nash tried his best to defend, but he was very active. Zhang Hao hit the ball into the basket through Nash!

With a block + counterattack dunk, Zhang Hao scored 9 points in a row, helping the Lakers score a 9-3, 77-74 wave, and the Lakers went from 3 points behind to 3 points ahead!

The players of the Trail Blazers were a little confused. Why did they suddenly become like this? If you have any intuitive feelings, it is that Zhang Hao played hard in the past quarter before the official timeout of the third quarter. After the official timeout of the third quarter, Zhang Hao was playing hard!

Zhang Hao's offense and defense consumption is obviously greater than the first half of the third quarter!

Can you hold on to this fight?

Soon, with three minutes left in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers players found that they were thinking too much. Not only did Zhang Hao not have the tendency to be tired, but instead, he seemed to be playing harder and faster and faster!

At this time, the Trail Blazers' offense was in trouble. Rashid Wallace felt cold in the middle distance, and he was not always defended at the basket. However, the Lakers contracted more and more quickly, and his defense against Nash suddenly strengthened. The Trail Blazers' offense that played for a quarter of the game suddenly couldn't play. In the remaining 4 minutes of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers' offense was quite bad, only 6 points. The Lakers scored 11 points during this period, and Zhang Hao scored 6 points. After the third quarter, Zhang Hao's personal score increased to 31 points, tying Nash's 31 points, tying the highest score in the game!

After returning from the official timeout in the third quarter, he made a three-pointer. After scoring his first 30+ in his career, Nash had no good shot opportunity. He failed to make two shots and was caught up by Zhang Hao!

In terms of personal scoring, it is not important. When the third quarter was finished, the Lakers' score increased to 88 points, while the Trail Blazers only had 80 points. The Lakers played the Trail Blazers 33-23 in a single quarter. The key point is that the Lakers' defense adjusted 20-9 in the half quarter! The Lakers overtook the score and led by 8 points into the final quarter!

At this time, the players and coaches of the Trail Blazers finally understood that they were fooled!

Nash had such a good singles opportunity before, but the other party did it on purpose!

Nash has always had the chance to play singles, and the rest of the Trail Blazers were playing like watching a show. When Nash suddenly lost the singles opportunity, it was too difficult to ask others to shoot.

On the Lakers, Zhang Hao has been attacking in series. Because the last time Zhang Hao got 60+ triple-double when he opened the Blazers, he was listed in the most terrifying data ranks in history, even if he was passing the ball, the Blazers also gave him additional defensive pressure, and the rest of the Lakers got a good opportunity to keep the shot.

So, the Lakers' wave in the second half of the third quarter was 20-9!

P-J-Calesimo felt something was wrong during the break, but he couldn't say what was wrong. Now, I understand everything!

Psychological contemplation, play with human nature, and judge the situation...P-J-Calesimo looked at the white-haired old man opposite. This old fox was extremely despicable!

Because Del Harris has no good solution for the team's current condition, he did not make tactical arrangements during the halftime break, but only replaced a lineup similar to the last half of the first half, so that the dead child could have his own operating space.

When he saw that Zhang Hao had no objection to the starting arrangements for the third quarter, Del Harris felt a little sad and angry at the time. He was the head coach, and he had to look at the face of a 20-year-old dead child when he changed his body.

But I'm also very curious about what effect Zhang Hao's strange offensive and defensive adjustment will have.

Now, the tactical purpose has been achieved, and the fans watching the game live don’t feel anything, but Del Harris feels the vest is getting cold... This is to get the mentality of the 13th pick rookie on the opposite side!

Too cruel!

Del Harris replaces Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Barkley, Jason Williams' lineup... ready to finish...

At this time, Del Harris felt a resentful look.

It was the sad and angry look from the opposite head coach P-J-Calesimo.

"It's not my fault! Why are you glaring at me... Aix, go up and beat them up! Dare you to rape me!"

...

The two teams made personnel adjustments, and the Trail Blazers sent Nash, Isaiah Leder, Gary Trent, Rashid Wallace and Sabonis to start the lineup.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers attacked first.

Others don’t feel anything about Zhang Haogao’s mentality, and they don’t even realize this, because Nash played very well, with 31 points and 5 assists in the third quarter, which is basically the best performance in Nash’s rookie season so far.

But Nash's ball quotient is very high. When his brain did not lose his calm judgment due to excitement, he has now discovered it.

Just as the head coaches of the two teams thought, his mentality was about to collapse!

He thought he had played well and got 31 points, but in the end, this was just the other party's trap, and the other party was using him!

After watching Zhang Hao run around the three-point line, he cut along the bottom line with Barkley's cover in the left corner, followed Doug Christie toward Nash, who was moving outside the three-point line, and made up for Zhang Hao.

When Zhang Hao received the ball, he saw Nash's aggressive force and stopped quickly and shook a shot. Nash jumped hard. Zhang Hao took the initiative to stick it up. Under Nash's defense, he fought against Nash, and made an emergency stop jump shot without any interference...

Enter!

The referee blew the whistle when Zhang Hao threw it out. Nash's defense this time not only blocked the blocking space of Rashid Wallace, but also made a foul!

With Zhang Hao making a free throw and hit 2+1, the Lakers widened the gap to 11 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the score was 91-80!
To be continued...
