The so-called licking dogs, licking them until they are all gone.

Through the screen, Zhang Hao could feel the despair of the management of the Celtics, Spurs and Nets who were going to draw lots!

Especially for the Nets, the TV commentator kept mocking the Nets for giving up the internal and external combination of Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson for Duncan.

If you really want to say that the Nets nowadays don’t look bad. The players who have been traded by Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Jason Williams and others have spent two years to create a pretty good role player lineup. Even if the Heat, Knicks and other teams have snatched away many players and become "strong team role players suppliers", they still maintain the strength to choose a core or an All-Star in the next few years to lead the team into the playoffs.

However, the TV commentator bluntly stated that if the Nets left Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, even if there were not so many high-quality role players, they might still enter the playoffs directly in the first year.

Although he would lose the opportunity to get Duncan very early, with Zhang Hao! What else do you want Duncan?

Nets general manager Bobby Marx's desperate face, CNY live broadcast footage gave a long close-up...

However, the Grizzlies management staff who had the last record to get the No. 4 draw were very calm.

There are media rumors that the Grizzlies are now in chaos. Their boss even wants to disband the team and withdraw from the NBA. Not to mention the income over the past year, they don’t even pay enough players’ salaries. The money in operation is simply paid, and this team can’t even sell it.

It is said that the NBA official has prepared to invest in sponsoring the Grizzlies and adjust the broadcast revenue. A part of the adjustment is made to support new NBA teams such as the Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, 76ers, and Magic, which have high live broadcast revenue.

Some people are worried, and of course some are happy. The Philadelphia 76ers won the No. 1 pick for two consecutive years, forming a super genius combination of Iverson + Duncan!

There are 40 days left before the draft will be held on June 27. After the draft lottery results came out, CNN commentators and experts from CNN began to discuss the 76ers' combination of Iverson + Duncan.

This combination makes experts and retired players call crazy!

Iverson is the best rookie in the 1996 class at present. Looking at the four-year draft after 1992, no one can compare to this ordinary rookie except Grant Hill's rookie season and Zhang Hao's rookie season.

Iverson, who entered the second grade, was a difficult task for him to compare with Grant Hill or Zhang Hao in the second grade, but it is possible to become a more stable scorer and average 25 points per game.

This ordinary No. 1 pick is definitely the best talented point guard in the past 10 years.

Since his sophomore season, Duncan has been regarded as having the strength of the top five NBA centers.

After playing in his junior season, Duncan was regarded as one of the five best players to become by entering the NBA.

Now, after Duncan's senior season, he was directly used to compete with Zhang Hao...

Such two super geniuses form a team... If Nash and Rashid Wallace are highly favored, then the combination of Duncan and Iverson is directly regarded as the successor of the Eastern King's group!

Duncan... was used to compete with Zhang Hao. After the draft lottery, CNK still had more than an hour of lottery predictions, analyzing rookie prospects and other programs.

Zhang Hao saw the prospect analysis and template prediction about Duncan... Duncan's template has changed!

In 1995, he saw the draft template given to Duncan by the media, David Robinson, and the upper limit surpassed Olajuwon. He was shocked at that time.

Now, the lower limit of Duncan's draft template is still David Robinson, and the upper limit has become him, Mr. Zhang!

Not to mention, Zhang Hao felt quite proud when he heard the analysis of the host of CNK and invited guests... He just felt that he and Duncan didn't seem to be similar...

He has watched Duncan's game, just like the combination of O'Neal + Ewing + Olajuwon.

It actually became Duncan's template, which was beyond his expectations.

The 76ers are the team that has been analyzed for the longest time in the analysis after the draft. The 76ers' lineup structure has also been analyzed with a focus. In summary, except for Iverson, Duncan, and Campbell, everyone else can trade, and it is best to have a big change.

The Celtics did not draw Duncan, and the TV host was also surprised, but some of the former NBA players invited to participate in the discussion had played with the Celtics. He used Ston's serious skin color discrimination, which may be the reason that hindered the Celtics' No. 1 pick.

A super genius like Duncan who has such a high popularity before entering the NBA is still alive. If he is a white player, he may definitely go to the Celtics this year.

In addition to the discussions about the No. 1 pick and the No. 1 pick and the No. 1 pick and the No. 1 pick and the rookie evaluation, etc.

The registration deadline for this year's draft is May 25th, and there is still one week left. Those who are preparing to register and are predicted to be selected in the lottery area. Basically, they have already registered. There have been almost no selections in the final 9th ​​pick in the draft like Zhang Hao in 1995.

Keith Van Horn, Chauncey Billups, Antonio Daniels, Ron Mercedes, Derek Anderson and other talented inside, Kevin Cato, Tony Barty, Tim Thomas, Danny Fordson and other talented inside, it is hard to say, because they are not as outstanding as Camby, Marbury and Raheem in the 1996, but there are indeed many excellent rookies.

In addition to these college students, a high school student on the outside is predicted to enter the lottery zone this year, which will be the first high school student on the outside player in NBA history.

Tracy McGrady of Mount Montzion Christian Academy stood out in Adidas training camp a week ago. He was not well-known before and beat the No. 1 high school student in the United States in a one-on-one training match. If Odom participates in the draft at this time, there is a high probability that the top five picks will be. McGrady will perform better in the training camp and the elite competition than Lamar Odom.

This made McGrady popular and was evaluated as expected to become the first NBA All-Star high school student on the outside... Of course, high school students have a genius, and the upper limit may be very high and the lower limit may be very low. It depends on which team is brave enough to bet.

Originally, even if there were two consecutive draft years, and there were about 20 geniuses who could become NBA players in two or three years in two consecutive years, they would not have made the media react very special. The seven years from 1984 to 1990 were an era of bursting NBA geniuses, not inferior to the three years from 1995 to 1997.

But for some reasons, the genius explosion is now linked to the "new era"!

The 84 generation veterans were unable to continue to dominate the data list. The teams of the 88 generation veteran superstars, such as the Supersonics, Cavaliers, Spurs, etc., collapsed one by one. The 92 generation mesozoic stars began to enter the house, and the 95 generation young stars led by Zhang Hao have begun to reach the top...

Hosts, experts, and retired superstars talked about rookies, and as they talked about the topic of going around, they returned to the topic of Zhang Hao opening the curtain of the new era!

...

At noon on the 19th, the Lakers arrived in Salt Lake City.

The Lakers are not very rich but have a strong aura!

The boss's industry is basically the only one in the Lakers, but the Lakers make a lot of money, so they directly booked a hotel in Salt Lake City and rented a stadium in Salt Lake City Pepsi Center in Salt Lake City, avoiding a lot of interference.

How much money is spent? It’s purely that Salt Lake City’s football market is not big, but basketball fans are extremely enthusiastic because there are too many white people!

Just look at the UK, sports fans of pure white people are just a group of lunatics.

In the afternoon, the Lakers started training to adapt to Salt Lake City, which is relatively higher at altitude.

In the evening, the sixth game between the Heat and the Knicks series started. After 2 hours and 31 minutes of the game, the Heat took back the home advantage away. Tim Hardaway scored 12 points in a row in the last moment.

The three-pointer scored 7 three-pointers in a single game, and 37 points in the game. Three three-pointers at the last moment, and one broke through to 2+1 at the basket. When the team was behind 80-87, he was unreasonable and relied on his personal ability to lead the team to a 15-3 wave. The Heat won the away game 95-90, and tied the big score 3-3, and returned to Miami to play the tiebreak.

This Knicks really can't praise you!

When they looked down on them, they won two games in a row, and when the media thought they were going to be 4 to 2, they collapsed...

In addition to losing, there is another unacceptable thing for the Knicks. Larry Johnson was suspended in the tiebreak battle!

Just when Tim Hardaway started to score two three-pointers in the last 4 minutes and immediately chased the score to 86-87, the Knicks scored and scored continuously.

Seeing Tim Hardaway scored 6 points in a row, he passed John Starks and rushed into the inside, Larry Johnson directly hit Tim Hardaway and knocked Tim Hardaway for more than one meter away. After landing, he slipped more than one meter away, almost knocking Tim Hardaway out of the three-point line from the three-second zone.

Tim Hardaway was hard and had no big problems. The referee responded quickly and did not fight. However, Larry Johnson's move was too dangerous and he was directly called for a malicious foul. Although Mooning also received a technical foul because of pushing Larry Johnson, it was! Tim Hardaway was thrown in before being knocked away!

After entering, he got two free throws. Although Tim Hardaway only scored one free throw, he made another three-pointer for the second consecutive attack, and directly scored a 10-1 wave, leading the team to 7 points behind from 80-87 to 90-88, setting the victory.

This series has become a iconic game in Tim Hardaway's playoffs!

...

The Heat and the Knicks dragged to tiebreak, and the Lakers had more time to adapt to the altitude environment of Salt Lake City.

Due to the atmosphere of the Jazz's Devil's home court, the Lakers are actually very entangled. They did not come here early after advancing, for fear that preparations would be affected. When they came here on the 19th, they were worried that they would not have enough time to adapt. How could they have a double law in the world...

Now the Heat have dragged the series to tiebreak, and it is much easier to determine the 22nd time that the Lakers and Jazz start the Western Conference Finals.

Continue preparing for the war!

By May 20, the Eagles and the Bulls held their first joint trial this year in Chicago.

This has nothing to do with the Lakers. Last year, the Lakers had a first-round final pick. In the trade last summer, they sent out all the gifts, leaving only a 27th pick in the second round... But the logo man went out to do business. It is said that he was very interested in the talent of Tracy McGrady of Mount Montzion Christian Academy.

This news was made public when the logo man left Los Angeles and went to Chicago yesterday. When Zhang Hao learned the news, he felt that the logo man had any conspiracy, but he didn't know what the hell could make.

Anyway, McGrady became a hit. In addition to overshadowing Lamar Odom in Adidas training camp, logo man has also played a big role in praising McGrady recently.

There is also news today. Last night, the league upgraded Larry Johnson's malicious foul was a second-level malicious foul. Larry Johnson was suspended from tiebreak, and the Knicks' complaint failed, confirming that Larry Johnson could not play tiebreak.

Another day passed, and in the May issue, the Heat and the Knicks returned to Miami and had a tiebreak battle.

Without Larry Johnson, the Knicks' strength has plummeted. They clearly showed their strength advantages in the previous few games, and they were lagging behind by more than 10 points for a long time in the tiebreak.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Knicks 101-90, playing the biggest score difference in the entire series and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!

Zhang Hao watched the live broadcast of the last two games between the Heat and the Knicks and found that Larry Johnson's malicious foul was really a conflict that the Heat had started. Tim Hardaway made two three-pointers in a row and twisted his butt to retreat, Mo Ning's small movements during defense... plus the various attempts to provoke conflicts before the Heat, who was behind the side before...

Of course, the Knicks are not a good guy. The Heat did it, and almost all the Knicks players did it.

But in the end, Larry Johnson got on the head, and the Heat calmed down.

Zhang Hao sighed that the world of basketball is also very complicated!

This has nothing to do with them anymore. The Heat are facing the Bulls...

Anyway, Zhang Hao felt it was difficult to deal with the other three teams in the East and West finals, and he would be fine if he met anyone in the end!

...

...

"Is this the floor of the Western Finals..."

At 6:40 pm on May 22, after entering the stadium of the Energy Program Stadium amid the violent boos of the fans on the scene, Zhang Hao squatted down and touched the floor.

"Don't change the number 24, and change the number 5 from No. 8 when changing the jersey in the future?"

Zhang Hao was very excited after touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals in the second year of entering the NBA, which proved that he and his team were improving!

Going further in the playoffs is the most direct reflection of progress.

After touching the floor, Zhang Hao stood up and looked at Stockton, Ostertag, Brian Russell, Hornersek, and Malone's five-man who appeared opposite him. He was simply amazingly strong!

The Jazz in its heyday!

"Karl Malone, 33 years old, 206 cm, 125 kg, ability evaluation 99..."

"John Stockton, 35 years old, 93 ability evaluation..."
