The expected way for the Lakers to turn the situation back is to play against the Jazz, Bulls, and Heat. The Lakers use O'Neal, Kenny Anderson, Rick Fox and others to bite the situation, and Zhang Hao is waiting for an opportunity to find a chance to win.

But tonight is different. Zhang Hao went straight to the table, with 16 points in the second quarter and 19 points in the third quarter... It was like he wanted to eat the two best rookies in the 1996 and 1997!

When Duncan led the 76ers in the first quarter, the TV commentator was teasing, "Does Aix take back his comments this time?"

Then, Zhang Hao forced two people to evaluate the mediocre talent of Tim Duncan and ordinary player Allen Iverson.

In fact, his performance, like Duncan's own expectations, he has the opportunity to play 30+ in a single game. He played more than 33 minutes in three quarters and scored 26 points. If the score can be held up, he has the ability to get 30+10, even if he meets the inside combination of Zhang Hao and O'Neal.

Iverson's 18 points and 6 assists were OK.

But who told them to meet Zhang Hao?

However, the morning after the Lakers and the Sixers' match, two nicknames that were passed from China to the United States became popular!

Stone Buddha Zhang Hao, Monkey Duncan!

...

On November 29, the day after playing against the 76ers, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles with 14 consecutive wins.

The Lakers players were happy and the fans were excited to tie the second record of the Celtics' 14-game winning streak.

Next, the Rockets won 15 consecutive victories at the beginning.

As the defending champion and a popular team, the Lakers started with a relaxed schedule. After passing the devil schedule of the Jazz, Heat, and 76ers, it went smoothly.

Playing against the Raptors at home, the Nuggets away, the Warriors away, and the Cavaliers and the Spurs back-to-back...

Fans think that at least the Spurs will be at the end of their winning streak.

Anyway, it's enough to exceed 15 consecutive victories.

Zhang Hao's bald head shape was rated as a Buddha as cold as a stone, Duncan, and a monkey that could not fly out of the Buddha's palm in Journey to the West...

This statement was widely recognized when it came to the United States.

When people saw these two nicknames, they didn’t understand why, but they just thought that these two nicknames were very good.

There are still some fans who are curious about the Buddha, the monk, the bald head. Zhang Hao's shape is understandable, like a stone, and even the heart of the translation is appropriate... But what does monkey mean?

After exploring, interested fans learned that this statement came from a classical book called Journey to the West from China, and then went to learn more... It was Zhang Hao's new nickname that drove cultural output...

...

Zhang Hao can't say he likes this new nickname, nor can he like it, that's it.

But for Duncan's nickname... he guessed that domestic fans don't know Duncan yet. When Duncan becomes popular in the future, he will probably become a great saint if he gets it for a long time.

"Monkey, Great Sage...what I thought of was the scene of the car swaying? The one who turned on the light turned into Duncan's face..."

Zhang Hao was quite curious before how he could have such a nickname. The combination was to "enhance the sense of identity". When others saw his nickname, they recognized this nickname.

Now the supporters of the three nicknames "Ri Tian", "Gentleman" and "Stone Buddha" seem to have started arguing in the forum.

I won’t worry about this for now. After lunch, Zhang Hao stayed in the living room in the afternoon and continued to analyze the game against the 76ers last night.

If there is no need for the regular season, Zhang Hao doesn't want to cheat, lose or win, which is useful in most games, especially in games with strong teams.

Yesterday was supposed to be the first time I was fighting against emerging strong teams to accumulate experience.

Although the probability is not high, Zhang Hao believes that Jordan's Bulls are still the biggest favorite candidate for the Eastern Conference Finals team. Theoretically, in the playoffs, the Bulls will be stronger than the Bulls in the original time and space. Compared with Pippen, who performed poorly, Horry at the peak, and McGrady, who overflowed his talents, may be more useful.

But the 76ers are still likely to enter the finals.

Zhang Hao also wants to be prepared for a low-probability event.

But because he went wild, the complete body of another form of the head horse combination was directly confused by the 76ers, and they failed to accumulate experience well.

This made Zhang Hao feel a little regretful.

After a day off, on December 30, the Lakers ushered in a game against the Raptors at home.

115-103, relying on O'Neal's 32 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Zhang Hao's 17 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and Kenny Anderson's 21 points, the Lakers easily won the game.

Damon Stoudemire was so miserable tonight. In addition to Zhang Hao, he was defending him at the basket, and Rick Fox was also guarding the middle distance... 2 of 13 shots, Damon Stoudemire only scored 5 points and got 11+5 data. 11 was assist. The Lakers defended the Raptors and others did not score so well, but they followed Zhang Hao's "bad fun" and played with the Raptors, giving the Raptors a 16-game losing streak.

He defeated Damon Stodmeier for the sixth time in a row, and crossed the third season. The "Rat-killer" mission gave Zhang Hao an 18-day life span reward, plus a regular life span reward of 5 days, and a 10-day life span reward for continuing to win in the game. In this game, Zhang Hao won 43 days of life span.

I really can’t bear to end the winning streak, so continue to work hard to continue the winning streak!

...

...

December 1st, the new month has arrived.

At 10 a.m., during the regular live broadcast program of CNY Sports Channel in the early month, the NBA officially announced that the Lakers' Zhang Hao and O'Neal won the first game player of the month award!

Zhang Hao's first game month was 15 games, averaging 26.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 2.2 blocks, a shooting percentage of 50.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.7%, and 86% free throw shooting percentage.

The hit rate has dropped a lot compared to last season, and there are more balls to catch up. Time is approaching, even if it is still in the backcourt, Zhang Hao will throw it out to bet on luck... As the season deepens, he will hit the hit rate down as he plays.

O'Neal's first game month, 15 games, averaging 28.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 60.2%.

O'Neal's shooting percentage is the first time in his career that he and Zhang Hao have a clear division of labor. He plays regular time, and cannot play personal or team attacks. Time is approaching, so he throws it to Zhang Hao.

After the Lakers won 15 consecutive victories last night, the news of the evening and today's morning news, morning newspapers, and the media are already discussing who will win the first month of the new season.

Other teams, Jordan, who led the team to 12 wins and 5 losses in the first month, Duncan, Duncan, who lost 11 wins and 6 losses, Tim Hardaway who lost 12 wins and 4 losses, Payton who lost 12 wins and 4 losses, Mark Jackson who lost 14 wins and 3 losses... and others are all possible.

But the Lakers won 15 consecutive games, and the best probability of the first month will still appear on the Lakers, it depends on who it is.

In the first 9 games, it must be O'Neal, no doubt, but from the five games that played against the Jazz to the 76ers, when Zhang Hao needed to play, he performed so well and became competitive.

The media want to make trouble. Whoever wins the two of them has a topic to do.

But the two won the best of the month together... Then we can only praise it.

The Lakers' management and coaching staff also breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhang Hao and O'Neal had a clear performance gap and the one who performed better won the award, the other one would probably not be dissatisfied. At most, they would be envious. For example, last season's finals MVP, although O'Neal was envious or even jealous, he was convinced.

But this month the two performed basically the same. O'Neal was strong in front and steady in back, Zhang Hao showed progress in front and exploded in back.

Fortunately, the best league in the first month did not mess with them.

...

After playing against the Raptors, the Lakers got two days off. On the 1st day, the Lakers went to Denver on the morning of the 2nd. After a night of rest, on January 2nd, they came to McNichols Arena to challenge the Nuggets away.

In this game, I arrived in Denver yesterday morning. In the afternoon, the Lakers discussed the whole team for an afternoon, and I was very focused on preparing for this morning.

Facing the Nuggets with 2 wins and 15 losses, the Lakers team went wild!

O'Neal scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, Zhang Hao scored 15 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Kenny Anderson scored 17 points, 9 assists, Doug Christie scored 14 points, Brent Barry scored 11 points, Jason Williams scored 11 points, and 17 rebounds... After the first half, Zhang Hao and O'Neal did not play, but the others in the Lakers are still fighting, and there is no possibility for the Nuggets.

In the end, the Lakers slaughtered the Nuggets 38 points with 115-77, winning 16 consecutive victories, breaking the Rockets' record!

This game has a national live broadcast, and the last game against the Raptors also has a national live broadcast. I saw the Lakers playing against the Raptors and the Nuggets so hard on the offensive end, especially when they were playing against the Nuggets, they worked so hard on the defensive end. This is the last in the East and the last in the West... The commentators on the imperial court station couldn't help but describe it as "crazy".

Zhang Hao didn’t care about that much. He won the game after playing 18 minutes. How happy he was, he got 15 days of fate and got 1 silver lottery!

...

On December 4, the Lakers came to Oakland and rested for a night. On December 5, they challenged the Warriors away.

There is no suspense. The Warriors didn't struggle much at 103 to 90. It can be seen from the fact that their highest scorer was Eric Danpier. After playing for a month, several of the Warriors' star madmen, Joe Smith and others began to be depressed.

Joe Smith is making a fuss about 100 million yuan in seven years, less than 100 million US dollars, not renewing the contract. He played without any motivation, scored well, rebounds can be seen, averaged 6.4 rebounds per game, a career low.

The Madman also had a tense relationship with the Warriors' new coach P-J Carlesimo, and there were quarrels during the game.

After defeating the Warriors, Zhang Hao once again won 15 days of life at one time, and also increased the NBA's historical winning streak to 17 games!

...

After playing against the Warriors, the Lakers returned to Inglewood Town.

I have won 17 consecutive games, so I naturally want to win 18 consecutive games and win 19 consecutive games...

Anyway, the media are already hyping up the 33-game winning streak, and this winning streak is also the Lakers themselves.

The Lakers focused on the Spurs in the second game back-to-back game. Although they had never thought about the 33-game winning streak before... They didn't think about this before Zhang Hao said he wanted to break the Rockets' winning streak in the start, but now they seemed to have a chance, so they must rush.

On December 7, the Lakers ushered in their first home game with the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers exchanged a bunch of character players for Kemp in the offseason, and the big contract renewal looked so good!

A handful of change was exchanged for a second-tier star!

In addition, Zajunas Irgeskas, who was selected by the Cavaliers in 1996, has entered the NBA and has averaged 14.1 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game so far in the rookie season. This 221 cm tall and 118 kg big center has shots, low post singles, and has excellent defense at the basket... Although it is not possible to move sideways without close defense, Kemp has it!

Because the Cavaliers are in a small city + small ball market, they have been a model of iron-blooded playing style in the past two years, and have limited their opponents to score the lowest in the league for two consecutive years. However, when it comes to iron-blooded teams, no one always thinks of them. This year, they have won 11 wins and 8 losses in 19 games, which is a significant improvement over last season... Still no one remembers them.

The double towers are accompanied by Brevin Knight, Wesley Person, 13-plus rookie Derek Anderson, and second-round pick Cedric Henderson on the bench, 96th Ukrainian center Vitali Potapanko, 95th Bob Sula, veteran pitcher Danny Ferry... The Cavaliers are still strong this year.

The Cavaliers can actually be regarded as a typical team in the current Golden Age. Most of their main players were drafted in the 1995-97 years.

At 7 pm, the Lakers and Cavaliers started. After 2 hours and 21 minutes of game, at 9:21 pm, the Lakers... happily defeated the Cavaliers 79-95, and the 17-game winning streak was over!

O'Neal made 6 of 19 shots, and 12 of 15 free throws, but he only scored 24 points. Zhang Hao made 7 of 21 shots, scored 21 points, Kenny Anderson made 4 of 11 points, and no one scored in doubles except the three of them. Rick Fox scored 6 points, Doug Christie scored 4 points, Jason Williams scored 7 points...

The Lakers' own poor shooting on the periphery is one reason, but the key is that they are too careless! The 17-game winning streak did not take the Cavaliers seriously at all, but they did not expect that their defense was not much weaker than last season. The average loss of points per game of 89.1 points is still awesome!

He won at least 15 days of life span reward in several consecutive games, which turned into a one-day life span reward for participating in the competition... Zhang Hao felt a little heartbroken, but he was still acceptable. From 10 consecutive victories to 17 consecutive victories, he had already obtained an additional 80 days of life span.

17 wins and 1 loss, and the unbeaten golden body was broken, which was regretful, but after a night of rest, Zhang Hao felt that it was okay. This stage has passed and it is time to reach a new stage.

The Lakers' winning streak of the start was ended by the Cavaliers, which should be big news, but just when the Lakers lost last night, there was an extremely bad and vicious incident in the game between the Warriors and the Timberwolves in the game live broadcast across the United States!
