The Supersonics sent a combination of Kassel, Ruben Patterson, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ratliff.

The Bulls sent Ron Harper, Kobe, McGrady, Kukoc and Perdo.

Zhang Hao easily won the jump ball from Perdor's head, and the Supersonics attacked first!

Kassel's playing pace was slow, but the ball was fast and accurate. After winning the jump ball, Zhang Hao immediately got off the ball and received the ball on the left side of the free throw line, and was followed by McGrady!

After receiving the ball, Zhang Hao immediately crossed the ball, but he couldn't get rid of McGrady. Seeing that the pinch was coming, Zhang Hao grabbed the ball and jumped, and made a mid-range shot... McGrady was very disturbed, and Zhang Hao made a mid-range shot with one step within the distance of the 45-degree free throw line!

At this moment, Zhang Hao remembered the first round showdown between the Rockets and the Mavericks in time and space. McGrady's defense against Nowitzki can be described as amazing. Relying on his explosive physical fitness and excellent defensive consciousness, McGrady, who was the main shooting guard back then, actually defended Nowitzki.

Very something!

Ron Harper grabbed the defensive rebound and advanced to McGrady after halftime.

Facing Artest's oppressive defense, McGrady seemed at ease, breaking through and passing the ball to Kukoc, Kukoc received the ball in the top arc, and then passing it to Kobe. Kobe broke out and joined in one step and threw away Ruben Patterson, and took the ball and turned around and made a mid-range shot... hit!

Zhang Hao looked at Ruben Patterson, speechless...Where is the Kobe Terminator who promised it?

But the Bulls' triangular offense was very good. Ron Harper's effective movement restrained the defense. Perdo's 213 cm and 112 kilograms were an effective threat at close range. Kukoc and McGrady organized the offense, and Kobe scored... The Bulls' head coach Tim Floyd probably gave the players full power to play.

As the game deepened, the Supersonics learned why the Bulls were called the most difficult team in the East.

Kobe + McGrady's double guns on the outside are so cruel!

The Supersonics' overall offensive performance tonight is average... It has always been average, but the restrictions were greatly imposed tonight. Kobe, McGrady, Ron Harper, as well as John Starks, who came on as a substitute, and BJ Armstrong, the five-man outside rotation, were like a meat grinder.

It's not that the Bulls' defense is so good. In fact, the Bulls' defense is at the downstream level of the league and ranks 20th in the league.

Originally, when Jordan retired, the Bulls had a good role-player lineup, but in order to make Jordan lose his mind to return, the Bulls gave up the previous inside blue-collar workers, and traded them back to John Starks and BJ Armstrong, which led to their inside defense being very bad. The inside rotation group consisted of Kukoc, Perdo, Gerani McCoy, Chris Andys and others. The defense was really average. Only Perdo and Gerani McCoy had a simple frame protection, and the others were not doing well.

But most of the Sonics scores are concentrated on the outside players, and Zhang Hao's playing style is also on the outside. The Bulls' outside defense is driven by McGrady and plays very roughly.

Zhang Hao made timely adjustments to his playing style. McGrady's restrictions on him were really good. So, from the second half of the first quarter, he began to attack the inside. With only 6 points in the first 9 minutes, Zhang Hao scored 26 points after the half.

The adjustment was done well and also led the team. With the Supersonics team only 13 points in the first 9 minutes, the Supersonics team scored 47 points after the halftime and 34 points in 15 minutes, which was quite good for the Supersonics team.

But in addition to the oppression and high-speed rotation of the outside line, the Bulls also played very well on the offensive end tonight!

McGrady suddenly scored and launched an offense to drive the whole team. Kobe received the ball and shot + necessary singles, Kukoc transferred and supported him, Ron Harper and BJ Armstrong were both very good at playing, passing and cutting and pressing the defense down the line, plus John Starkhouse, a master of chaos...

The Bulls led 6 points in the first quarter, and the Bulls led the Bulls 30-25 in the second quarter, and 5 points in the Bulls. After the half-time, the Bulls led the Supersonics 58-47 and entered the midfield break with 11 points!

Kobe scored 18 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in the first half, McGrady scored 12 points, 5 assists and 2 blocks in the first half, John Starks scored 13 points in the first half... The fans at the scene were already excited!

Although their B Plan combination was not as good as Zhang Hao, after Zhang Hao scored 2 of 6 shots in the front and scored 6 points, and 8 of 13 shots in the back and scored 20 points, their B Plan combination led the team to play according to Zhang Hao's team!

Entering the halftime break, Zhang Hao ignored the restlessness of the fans on the scene and looked at McGrady and Kobe who were heading towards the opposite player passage. McGrady was discussing something with Kobe...

"So McGrady's eyes open like this!"

...

26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and 10 of 19 shots in the first half. Zhang Hao himself felt that he had played well.

But the Bulls' Plan B duo scored 30 points in the first half and had 8 assists, which was simply explosive!

What Kobe and Zhang Hao know about it and what they see in the news after the start of the new season are very different.

Zhang Hao believes that Kobe likes to play blindly, and he will also play blindly when he is partnering with O'Neal, especially in the regular season. What he sees in the news is similar, and Kobe often plays blindly.

However, after he fought, he found that Kobe played very reasonably...or in other words, he could play very reasonably.

After being hit by Maddie, who was a third-year-old, Kobe, who entered the NBA in a mature form, played in the middle of the game. Zhang Hao was not angry or depressed. The opponent's performance was indeed good. Since the opponent's performance was so good, it was also necessary that such a situation occurred.

Although the Bulls are light and heavy, whether it is based on the scout report, the player detection report analysis, or the actual battle, the Bulls' offensive lineup structure and overall performance on the offensive end are better than their Supersonics, with averaging nearly 10 points averaging. The Supersonics have averaged 94.4 points so far.

The cooperation method of triangular offense is Kobe, McGrady, and Kukoc. The players who cut in Ron Harper and BJ Armstrong played so well. Two 213-centimeter big centers alternately played at the court and had a relatively large restraint...

"The defensive end is likely to be unable to defend it anymore. It has been invested by Plan B, so start from the offensive end!"

Zhang Hao had a problem. After a while, after his teammates gathered in the lounge and discussed with the coaching staff members, Doug Collins also made the same judgment in the second half to strengthen the offense!

There are two superstar-level outside stars on the opposite side. When you can't defend, you really can't defend. The stability of the outside stars is difficult to compare with the inside stars, but the explosiveness is often far better than that of the inside stars.

Everyone understood that these two people were well prepared and fought hard because they fought with Zhang Hao, and they were in excellent condition tonight...

The coaching staff members were very distressed, and coaching Zhang Hao was very happy. It was something that all coaches dream of, but this guy was so hateful!

Zhang Hao's side is even more painful! The system prompts are here!

"The special signing players are once again challenged by young geniuses, the golden chapter of the nightmare of the rookies in the series of missions: the nightmare triggered by Plan B."
Chapter completed!
