280. Ordinary Rookie, Gentleman, God, End of Crazy Season Part 1 (16,000 words for the month)(1/5)

After seeing the news about Zhang Hao's interview, Lakers players were also stunned by Zhang Hao's scoring king's announcement!

Suddenly, caught off guard, Zhang Hao challenged Jordan.

I didn't even tell my teammates and was ready to do this!

In fact, my teammates have really helped Zhang Hao get more shooting opportunities this season.

Isn’t it good to do this kind of thing secretly? It has to be challenging the difficulty!

But when you think that Zhang Hao did this, it doesn’t feel strange...

However, in a team, if a player's goal is a goal that everyone is interested in, it will be more smooth for the player to achieve this goal.

To end Jordan's scoring champion, this is really what all players in the league except the Bulls want to do. Even if some players are Jordan fans, they will not stop them after entering the NBA if they have the chance or their teammates have the chance.

While Jordan is still in his prime, who doesn’t want to have a shot at Jordan?

Even O'Neal wanted to do it. Seeing that Zhang Hao had the chance, he took the initiative to challenge him. He wanted to come, but...

"I have a scoring champion. I'm so tired when I compete with Jordan. That time I was so tired when I competed with Robinson. I even lost. Forget it..."

...

"I have won the scoring champion 8 times, and it doesn't matter whether I can get it again, but if I want to win the scoring champion, no one can compete with me."

Looking at Jordan, who was interviewed on the TV screen, shrugging his shoulders and looking indifferent, Zhang Hao knew that the other party must be fighting.

"I will definitely let him remember me next time I fight!"

"Ordinary rookie", "58 spokesperson", "newcomer without presence" Allen Iverson answered this in an interview, replied, and then left.

Zhang Hao was quite excited about Iverson's hostility.

Being friends with Iverson... He didn't want to, but the other party was not the type who likes to make friends.

Mr. Zhang is not the type who is particularly proactive now. Since he can’t be a friend or an opponent, it is also excellent.

Moreover, he wanted to become an opponent with Iverson even more, and hoped that every time he fought with Iverson, the opponent would do his best.

Otherwise, what is the fun of the competition?

But next time I meet, next year, the 76ers have already lost the opportunity to enter the playoffs, and even one in a billionth of opportunities to play again this season.

In addition to the news about these two parties related to Zhang Hao's interview, Zhang Hao also saw interviews with Grant Hill, Anthony Hardaway, Olajuwon, Ewing, Shuangsha, Payton, Camp... and others.

"No one can compare with Jordan in terms of scoring, and Zhang is not good either. I appreciate his courage." This is the answer of Payton, who faced Jordan in the finals last year.

"I've been in the NBA for 13 years and haven't seen a player who can score better than Jordan." This is Stockton of the 84 Golden Generation.

"Aix is ​​an epoch-making player. If he does, I'm not surprised at all, but Jordan is the strongest player and the best scorer. Aix's goal is great, but it's very difficult." This is Grant Hill...

"There is nothing impossible. Chamberlain's seven scoring champions have been broken, and the 20-year-old scoring champions may also appear." This is the most surprising answer, Anthony Hardaway's answer in an interview.

It is obvious that the older generation of players have blind trust in Jordan's strength, especially those veterans who entered the NBA at about the same time as Jordan, but young players express their more bluntly that they want to see the NBA change.

...

At the end of the season, Zhang Hao once again set off a public opinion storm.

After resting in Oakland for a night, the Lakers, who were in the center of the storm, came to the Oracle Arena to challenge the Warriors away on March 28.

During the pre-match preparation stage, Del Harris watched his teammates practice pick-and-roll and then break through. His teammates ran, and Zhang Hao made a decision based on the movement of the defensive side...

"This dead child, can't you fight secretly for the score king? I really love to make trouble..."

Del Harris was quite unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. It was almost the playoffs, and it was time to concentrate on the stars.

"It's just this dead kid who is lucky. He is about to start to adjust his playoffs. He is the team's first move..."

Today's pre-match preparation training has obviously been adjusted.

The tactics have not been adjusted much. I have played 72 games. What can be considered and adjusted have been gradually solved.

Today's adjustment is mainly the adjustment of the proportion of playing styles. In the past, the team's playing style accounted for more than 60%. In the playoffs, it will definitely be a lot shortened, and the time you rely on the stars will be more.

Because in the playoffs, except for the first round, the teams behind them are not so easy to defeat by character players.

After a day of preparation, at 7 pm, the Lakers' away game against the Warriors began.

The Warriors are currently 27 wins and 43 losses, tenth in the West, the Clippers are currently 32 wins and 38 losses, and eighth in the West, the Warriors are not without chances. If the Warriors win all the last 10 games and the Clippers lose more than 5 games, the Warriors still have a chance.

But Warriors coach Adelman did not come to the stadium today. Before the game, the Warriors announced that Rick Adelman would miss the remaining games of the season due to physical reasons.

In other words, the Warriors basically gave up treatment and did not want to compete for the playoffs, but wanted to maintain the chance of lottery draws in the lottery and lottery picks. When they traded in the 1995-96 season, they sent out the 1997 lottery picks. If they really entered the playoffs, this year's draft picks would be gone.

The Warriors management's intention to continue winning is very obvious, so Zhang Hao is under great pressure when preparing for the game. He feels that the opponent will definitely target him alone like the Grizzlies.

However, after Zhang Hao shouted at Joe Smith's declaration of "I want to score 10 points higher than you", he did not have the situation he imagined.

The Warriors played very well, and they didn't feel like they didn't want to win...

This is normal. What does the management want to play badly?

In this era when salary increases year by year, from a maximum salary of about US$3 million to a contract that can be signed with 100 million yuan, which player is too careless to play hard because the team wants to play badly.

In addition to this, Zhang Hao also clearly felt the idea of ​​the Warriors, a group of young stars who entered the NBA in the 1990s, and they would not easily win with us, but we would not deliberately stop you from creating miracles.

It's a miracle. In the eyes of others, Zhang Hao's idea of ​​competing for the scoring champion this season is trying to create miracles.

No one thinks that Zhang Hao will not get the scoring champion in his entire career, but everyone thinks that when Jordan gets old is the era when Zhang Hao gets the scoring champion. Therefore, even his opponents are full of respect for Zhang Hao's ambitions.

In this game tonight, Zhang Hao wanted to increase his shots, and the coaching staff's arrangements also reached the stage where he, O'Neal, Kenny Anderson, and Barkley increased his shots.

Barkley and Kenny Anderson both took the initiative to pass more balls to Zhang Hao. Although O'Neal did not take the initiative, he did not rush to ask for the ball to play singles...

Zhang Hao played 39 minutes in the game, threw 27 times, made 15 of 27 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, plus 8 free throws, 40 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block, winning the 10th single game of 40+ in this season, tying his personal record of the highest number of 40+ times in a single season in the rookie season!

However, the game was not so easy. The Warriors' star group, even if they lost Tim Hardaway and others, was still very powerful. At the end of the season, relying on their momentum, they were unwilling to accept the decision of the management. They once led the Lakers by 27-23 with offense and 4 points. After the half, the Lakers led the Warriors by only two points 47-45.

In the third quarter, the Lakers only relied on a 29-20 lead in a single quarter to widen the gap to 11 points.

In the final quarter, the Lakers had already taken the initiative, but they were not that strong. Del Harris controlled the field well. After Zhang Haobo made both free throws and increased his personal score to 40 points, O'Neal went up and chimeed, killing the opponent in one wave.

104-91, the Lakers defeated the Warriors by 13 points, improving their record to 57 wins and 16 losses!

Zhang Hao scored 40 points, Joe Smith worked hard to get points tonight with mid-range shots, the Lakers won, and Zhang Hao's "leading" mission today was achieved.

...

The last 10 games of each team that is still competing for rankings and playoff spots are divided into a new stage of the end-of-season sprint stage by the media.

The Lakers won the 10th game to the end, which was a good start.

Zhang Hao scored 40 points and was regarded by the media as the clarion call to hit the scoring champion!

However, Zhang Hao scored 40 points and failed to become the hottest news of the night.

Jordan scored against Richmond in the away game against the Kings. Richmond scored 36 points and Jordan scored 44 points! 4 points higher than Zhang Hao!

Zhang Hao wanted to compete for the scoring champion, and Jordan, who was the top of the list, immediately responded!

However, Jordan failed to get the headlines, and his leather pants were full of...

After a day of rest, the 76ers, who returned to home, faced the challenge of the Milwaukee Bucks on the night of the Lakers and Warriors game. In the match against the same rookie Ray Allen, Allen Iverson made 16 of 33 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, plus 11 of 13 free throws, soared a career-high 47 points, and scored 6 assists, leading the 76ers to beat the Bucks 101-95 at home, and three consecutive games!

It's time to reach the end of the season. In terms of team ranking competition, the Bulls basically have no chance of running first place. The Bulls still have hope of winning back-to-back 70, so there is no competition at all.

The competition for the number one in the West is very fierce. The Lakers and Jazz both have a record of 16 losses, and the two teams have to fight twice in the remaining 9 games.

The third-ranked Supersonics in the West is worthy of being the finals team last year. Like the Bulls, another finals team last year, it is alone and unable to rush up the top two. The fourth-ranked Timberwolves' winning rate has just exceeded 50%. The Supersonics can't even lose all the remaining games, occupying the third place in the West.

In the East, the Heat, Knicks, Pistons and Hornets have the second-tier competition in the East. In comparison, the Eastern Conference's strong teams have better records this year than the Western Conference team, with the eighth-ranked winning rate of over 50%, and the Rockets, the fifth-ranked winning rate of over 50%.

There are still many highlights in the team ranking competition. In terms of players, the media and fans are always on the MVP battle between Jordan and Malone, and the competition for scoring champions initiated by Zhang Hao.

Iverson was originally a competition for the best rookies.

As a result, Iverson came to steal the limelight with the two scoring competitors, and...

He even got it!

Jordan has 40+ 14 times this season, and Zhang Hao has 40+ 10 times this season, making him the only two stars with 40+ break 10 times this season.

And Iverson, a rookie, has already tied for 40+ times and is tied for third place in the 40+ times this season with Glen Rice!

Ordinary rookie Iverson shouted with practical actions. If I hadn't just entered the NBA and asked me to play for two more years, I would have definitely competed with these two!

...

...

"I really have to keep winning points!"

After the game last night, Zhang Hao went back to the hotel to rest. He didn't want to go to the interview and did not go to the bar with his teammates to drink milk.

As a high school rookie who is praised for the Lakers' No. 8 jersey, he is so unique.

The point is that he looks too conspicuous. If he wants to pretend that he is old and buys a wine, it may not be necessary if he sells it or not. Anyway, someone will definitely report him to drink secretly, so community labor punishment will inevitably be punished.

He only saw the news that Iverson and Jordan had a fight the next morning when he had breakfast.

Originally, he thought that his flapping wings would change a lot of things, and it did change a lot of things. He was quite worried that Iverson would lose his rookie score in the year. After all, Iverson may receive even higher attention than in the original time and space. Starbucks' store has 58 Technology billboards... Such a high-profile rookie will definitely be targeted.

Zhang Hao himself has a very obvious feeling about this.
To be continued...
