280. Ordinary Rookie, Gentleman, God, End of Crazy Season Part 1 (16,000 words for the month)(3/5)

With 7 games left, the Lakers are not without a chance. The schedule of 5 homes and 2 away is pretty good.

After two games with the Jazz, the Lakers got two days off, followed by three consecutive home games, and then one of them had two consecutive away games, and the final two consecutive home ended.

On April 3, the Lakers kick-off meeting discussed the problems exposed in the two games with the Jazz and the advantages they played...

Zhang Hao is actively making adjustments, and the Lakers are also actively making adjustments, and it is rare to unite. Even O'Neal was unconsciously having a premise for Zhang Hao to shoot more when communicating with the coaching staff and several core teammates holding the ball.

In the first year when everyone got together, with a few games left in the regular season, I finally had real cohesion.

This is thanks to the pressure the Jazz brings to them.

On the other hand, after three days of rest, the Bulls ushered in their fourth season with the Heat at home.

In the first three matches, the Heat won twice, while the Bulls won only once.

The Bulls had previously played against the Knicks, but they lost more than they won, but the Bulls defeated the Knicks on March 30, and tied 2-2 in the regular season, and were no longer at a disadvantage.

By the last match at the end of the season, Jordan was under the pressure of scoring the table with double pressure and the pressure of winning and losing against the Heat, and this game attracted much attention.

The Bulls have played 74 games, 62 wins and 12 losses, the Heat have played 75 games, 56 wins and 19 losses, the Lakers and Jazz have both 58 wins and 17 losses, and the Bulls have won the regular season championship. After playing against the Heat, the Bulls have only two opponents in the playoffs in the remaining 7 games.

However, the Bulls played against the Jazz this year, with 1 win and 1 loss, 0 win and 2 losses against the Lakers, 1 win and 1 loss against the Supersonics, 2 win and 2 losses against the Knicks... None of them have the advantage. They had only 1 win and 2 losses with the Heat before. If they lost the last time with the Heat, they would not only lose the opportunity to win 70 again, but also faced two opponents in the victory and loss against four championship competitors...

At 4:30 pm, after the Lakers interview, Zhang Hao quickly returned home. It was still beneficial to go home in Inglewood Town. Come home quickly.

At the beginning of the 5 o'clock game, Zhang Hao happened to get home. He grabbed the little loli with the snacks and drinks, held the little loli in his left hand, and was close to April Clark on the right, enjoying it very much...

Britney, who became Whitney Houston's favorite, gave up her job and came to accompany Zhang Hao when she was about to reach the playoffs, but she could only look at the two girls next to Zhang Hao, and she had to hide her envious eyes.

Very angry!

The Bulls and Heat played very well in this game and scored in overtime!

Tim Hardaway's game was a big hit. The regular time and overtime matched 46 points, including 41 points in regular time, which helped the Heat lead the Bulls 92-90 by two points with 6 seconds left in regular time.

But Jordan hit the key ball, and the jump shot made a two-pointer with a jump shot. The Bulls tied the score at 92 and dragged it into overtime.

In overtime, Jordan scored 12 points alone and led the Bulls to a 12-7 score.

When he finished playing in regular time, Jordan made 29 shots and only scored 39 points, two points lower than Tim Hardaway.

But in overtime, Jordan finished taking the lead, making 19 of 35 shots in the game, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, all of which were three-pointers made in the top arc. With 10 of 13 free throws, he soared 51 points, setting a new season high, leading the Bulls to defeat the Heat 104-99, improving the record to 63 wins and 12 losses.

After this game, the Bulls had 7 games left and the Heat had 6 games left. Even if the Heat won all the next six games, there were only 62 wins. The difference in winning games exceeded the remaining games. The Bulls locked in the first place in the Eastern Conference 7 games ahead of schedule!

In addition, Jordan also surpassed Zhang Hao's 30.96 points per game and returned to the top of the scoring list!

...

Zhang Hao is convinced that he can score 51 points when playing against the Heat!

Just like Iverson actually got 40+ against the Cavaliers, even his opponents expressed his affirmation of the performance of these two people.

But in an interview, Zhang Hao said, "51 points? I have 3 times this year."

No matter what, you can't lose momentum!

However, even if he scored 51 points, Jordan would continue to be depressed after the game...

The most discussed by the media and fans is whether Iverson can continue to get 40+, and can he tie Jordan's second highest ranking of 40+ in 7 rookies in the rookie season since entering the modern basketball era?

Then, on April 4th, Iverson got it...

In the game against the Washington Bullets, Iverson rushed into the inside wildly and received a free throw...

He only made 10 of 23 shots, and only scored 1 three-pointer, but Iverson scored 40 points with a free throw of 19...

Although the Bullets, which are competing with the Cavaliers for the eighth place in the East, performed well and defeated the 76ers 102-91, Iverson scored 40+ in the sixth consecutive game, increasing the number of 40+ times in his individual rookie season to 7 times, tying Jordan!

...

The 76ers are currently 18 wins and 57 losses, and have not played 7 games left.

Iverson's 7 single-game 40+ is only 3 games away from Zhang Hao's record of 10 single-game 40+ by modern basketball rookies. Is there any chance to surpass it?

This incident made Iverson not lose the upper hand in the competition for the scoring champion between Zhang Hao and Jordan, just like last season when Zhang Hao kept stealing the headlines as a rookie.

Regarding this, Zhang Haoda didn't want Iverson to surpass him from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't have the time to care about this now.

Moreover, it is useless to care. If others really surpass him, he will have no choice.

After two days of rest, the Lakers ushered in the Nuggets' game at home.

After O'Neal and Kenny Anderson made a comeback one after another, after several game adjustments and the Jazz's tempering, they finally felt like they were going to enter the full state they can enter!

At 7 p.m. on April 5, the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets started.

Zhang Hao once again said the most arrogant words with the calmest expression and let Antonio McDace clean his neck and be massacred, and the score was 10 points higher than the opponent...

Then, Zhang Hao scored 34 points, and the Lakers massacred the Nuggets 110-85, improving their record to 59 wins and 17 losses!

Only 11 shots in 28 shots, Zhang Hao had no choice. The Nuggets' inside defense is indeed good.

Antonio McDyce really has the potential to become a top power forward, as well as excellent talent for central investment and excellent talent for supporting.

The Nuggets have done a good job in training defense, but they are not good at other aspects. They have been criticized by the media many times.

It is said that Antonio McDyce himself, and his agent, was not satisfied with the Nuggets' training method and had the idea of ​​changing teams.

But just talking about defense, Antonio McDyce has indeed been well trained and made rapid progress, otherwise the Nuggets would not have given up Mutombo for him.

In this game, Zhang Hao stabilized his average score, at least not declining.

...

At the end of the regular season, teams with goals are working hard, and the ones who hit the bottom are hit the bottom are hit the bottom, and the ones who compete in the competition are on the ranking.

Just the Warriors and Pacers are so heartbroken that they can't go up and down. The management wants to play badly, but the head coach is rumored to be fired, but the players want to fight...

The headline dispute between Zhang Hao, Iverson and Jordan has also entered a white-hot spot.

On April 6, in the 76ers' last game of the regular season, Iverson's 40-game finally broke down and scored 31 points.

The title given by the media is "Iverson only scored 31 points"...

On the night of the 6th, the Bulls had the 7th last game. Faced with the outbreak of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jordan only scored 24 points, but the Bulls won.

On the 7th, the Lakers ushered in their last match of the season with the California capital team Kings.

The Kings currently have only three games behind the Clippers' victory, and they still have a chance to make the playoffs and play very hard.

However, the Lakers also worked hard to maintain the opportunity to reach the top in the West.

Zhang Hao scored 37 points, O'Neal scored 33 points, and Kenny Anderson's 18 points and 12 assists, the Lakers defeated the Kings 118-109, becoming the third team to win 60 this season.

Zhang Hao's average score increased to 31.06 points, overtaking Jordan, whose average score fell to 31.01 points, and overtaking again!

With 60 wins and 17 losses, the Lakers have 5 games left in the regular season this season.

After playing against the Kings, the Lakers took a day off. On April 9, they welcomed their last opponent, the Bucks, who were the three consecutive games.

This is also the 30th time the Lakers have played against the Eastern Conference team this season, and it is also the last time this season's regular season match against the Eastern Conference team. The remaining four opponents are Western Conference teams.

The Bucks are also quite embarrassed. They are very special. The management, coaching staff and players are not willing to do anything.

They have geniuses, many geniuses, so many that they don’t need to play bad luck and get high rankings, they look very talented.

However, the genius led this group of geniuses was Glenn Robinson, the No. 1 pick in the 94th class.

Glenn Robinson is not bad at all. He averaged points at the start of the rookie year. Now, he still averaged points at the same time, and he can hardly see his progress.

The weirdest thing is that Glenn Robinson is the most stable player this season, and neither Jordan nor Zhang Hao nor Malone can match.

He has not lost a single game this season so far, and has played 77 games. He has scored below 15 points in only 7 games, and has not scored below 10 points at one time, but only 30+ times, with almost constant scores between 15 and 25 points, and has reached 49 times in a single game, ranking third in the season, with only Jordan and Glenn Rice having more 20+ times in a single game than him.

Then, there was only average score!

The media also began to describe Glenn Robinson as "geting 20 points off work."

There is no surprise, just like crushing the Nuggets and Kings, such a team that has won for more than 30 years, now has no accidents for the Lakers, whose focus has reached the playoff level, is in full swing, and is full of desire to win.

108 to 85, the Lakers scored 23 points to massacre the Bucks!

Glen Robinson played 37 minutes tonight, made 8 of 18 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scored 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal...

This is also a kind of strength. Facing the Lakers' current defense, Glen Robinson's 20+ games are still stable. After winning the 50th 20+ games, he tied Glen Rice, who ranked fourth in the scoring list...

Zhang Hao scored 30 points tonight, with a very average touch and many opportunities, but after only 10 of them in 25 attempts, the opponent hurried under the basket to defend. If it weren't for the counterattack, he wouldn't even get 30 points.

With 61 wins and 17 losses, the Lakers have 4 games left to play.

Some things are too urgent. After Zhang Hao scored more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, he also went down to rest.

However, sometimes, the older you are, the more you ignore the problem of skin.

No. 9 and No. 10, in the back-to-back games of the Bulls in the 6th and 5th game to the last back-to-back games, No. 9, Jordan made 13 of 33 shots against the Raptors and made 20 irons, but he relied on 15 of 15 free throws and scored 41 points without making three-pointers. No. 10, Jordan played the Mavericks, making 15 of 31 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 9 of 12 free throws, scoring 41 points, increasing the number of 40+ times this season to 17 times!

At the same time, Jordan's average score increased to 31.2 points, returning to the top of the scoring list again!

In both games, the Bulls led the lead with big scores.

This operation made Zhang Hao shout "I'm going to be a scattered person"!

"The veteran is shameless, but he can be so shameless!"
