457. Unexpected spoiler (6000 words for monthly ticket)(1/2)
"Bryant made a 50 shot! It's so outrageous! Aix, you try to make a 50 shot?"
"I can't make so many shots, and I don't need to make so many shots after I scored 60 points."
"Aix, let's talk casually first, can you say this? "
"I'll pay attention next time."
Barkley thought about it and replied: "Okay, don't forget to end the topic slowly next time. I have another question. What do you think of Bryant's 60 points?"
"It's pretty good. Kobe can shoot 50 times, which is also an extraordinary ability. It's an NBA game, not just we can shoot 50 times on the training ground."
"You've always said Bryant's comments have always been good?"
"Of course, I admire him very much. He missed 27 shots in total. In more than 20 years, only Mr. Jordan has missed so many shots in one game. I think it's hard for me to do it."
"I like your answer, but you've ended the topic again."
"Didn't you say you should pay attention next time? Sorry, I'm not ready."
“…”
Interview with Zhang Hao, plus greetings, the process was 3 minutes... It took 30 minutes to set up a camera and watch the things, and it took 30 minutes to make a perfect interview.
After finishing the interview, Barkley quickly returned to Los Angeles. On the plane, he had already begun to analyze the game between the Bulls and the Clippers last night, and there was a fierce battle in the afternoon!
...
...
On January 8, 2000, at 3 pm, the live broadcast program of T Sports began.
Some celebrities, plus the commentator of the TV station, who are also famous, were invited to hold a roundtable meeting.
The issue is that rookie Kobe scored 60 points to tie Zhang Hao and decisively took advantage of the popularity.
The roundtable, 10 celebrities are divided into two factions, basically equaling Barkley VS9 celebrities.
When the program was promoted, it used the gimmick of "the most fanatical gentleman supporter in the media" VS9 celebrities. All the celebrities who invited them were expressing their dislike of Zhang Hao.
Most of these celebrities are retired jersey-level and have achieved remarkable achievements, but they are not one of the best players of the same era. That is, the real top celebrities cannot be invited. As the former top players, they do not want to offend people. T-Sports Station does not want to invite those expensive top celebrities, but invites retired jersey-level celebrities who can use money to be their firm position. They have enough voice and can create a conflicting program.
The ratings were very high at the beginning of the show.
Facing nine opponents, Barkley was not nervous and took the lead in attacking: "I think Bryant's 60 points are not valuable. I wonder if you have seen it. He got the last two points with free throws with 17 seconds left. It was wrong for him to do this. He brought trouble to other players who performed well in their rookie season."
Sam Lasirick, a celebrity in the Kings in the 1970s, counterattacked: "Charles, I think you're wrong. Bryant can get the ball into the ball with 17 seconds left to get 60 points. This is his ability. Even if he is still scoring in garbage time, Charles, you were the top scorer. Even if you keep shooting during garbage time in your rookie season, can you get 60 points?"
Barkley responded calmly: "I didn't say that his 60 points were fake, I couldn't do it. I was talking about another problem. He caused trouble for other past rookies and future rookies.
Originally, 50+ points in a single game were the historical performance of rookies. Even if Aix scored 60 points in a single game in the rookie season, it was only the only one. It can only be said that Aix is the only one in the super level. The performance of other historical rookies is still 50+, and it did not have much impact on other rookies who scored 50+ points in a single game.
But it's different after Bryant scored 60 points in this way. Do you think Chamberlain, Baylor, Barry, Monroe, Hayes, McCann, Jabbar, Iverson... which one is better, their rookie performance in a single game of 50 points in a single game, or Bryant's performance in a single game of 60 points in a single game?
In the future, if rookies get 50+ in a single game, it won’t look so special, but we all know that in fact, rookies have already scored 50+ in a single game, but as time goes by, people will definitely only remember Aix and Bryant. This is unfair to the performance of previous top rookies, and it is not fair to the future rookies who have the ability to get 50+ in a single game."
With reasonable and well-founded, this fat man's logical thinking is so clear! The other nine celebrities applauded silently in their hearts.
But the money was collected, and Bob Ranniel, who retired No. 16 jerseys in the Pistons and Bucks, still stood up and refuted: "Charles, let's not talk about the people in the past. You will feel unfair for future rookies, and they will definitely feel unfair. They are like Bryant - just stand up and get 60 points? Aix can, Bryant can, they just need to prove that they can do it."
Barkley said that he was worthy of being a Pistons, but there were too many loopholes in this hard bar. Barkley immediately asked: "Do you think Bryant's 60 points are the same as Aix's 60 points?"
Rockets legend Kelvin Murphy said: "It's all 60 points, is there any difference? Or, Charles, do you think Aix's 60 points are better?"
"Of course! Isn't it? Aix's rookie season away season played against the Knicks with 60 points in a single game. In addition to 60 points, there were 11 rebounds and 10 blocks. This is the first time in NBA history that 60+ triple-double, and only Aix has won 60+ triple-double.
Aix only played 3 quarters in this game. I don’t deny that Bryant’s 60 points are very good, but you guys scored yesterday’s 60 points with Aix’s 60 points?
Also, Aix only made 32 shots that time, Aix had 40+ shots once, and just a few days ago, he got 76 points..."
...
Zhang Hao turned off the TV, and Barkley made him embarrassed when he blew. There must be more words that made him feel embarrassed when he heard it.
"Erpang didn't plan to deny how excellent Kobe's 60 points were, right? He just wanted to use this to open up the topic and praise me... I didn't look at it, but he said one thing was right. Kobe got 60 points, leaving a big trouble for future rookies, but what does this have to do with me..."
After leaving the lounge, Zhang Hao came to the training ground to start warming up.
At 4:30, my teammates also came to the training ground to warm up one after another.
Kobe scored 60 points, which is not bad at all compared to the sensation caused by Zhang Hao when he scored 60 points four years ago, because the current information spreads faster, and there are more information dissemination platforms for people to exchange views.
And there is another interesting thing: Zhang Hao got 60 points on his birthday night, and Kobe got 60 points on the same day four years later...
What Sam Lasi said at the roundtable was widely recognized - if he got it, he got it, and that's his ability.
As the second rookie player in NBA history to score 60 points in a single game, Kobe was naturally compared with Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao's career has been so successful that Kobe is favored by many people because of this.
At 6 p.m., the Supersonics faced the Bucks' challenge at home.
The Bucks have a clear rise in the past two years, getting Tim Thomas from the 76ers' trade and Danny Manning from the Magic's trade... They have already performed at the playoff level. It is rumored that the Bucks are in contact with the Celtics and are trying to trade Kenny Anderson, who has averaged 17.6 points and 8.5 assists so far this season.
Ray Allen averaged 22.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game this season. He played an All-Star performance in the first year of his new contract. However, there are too many outside stars in the Eastern Conference, and it is difficult to enter the All-Star.
Glenn Robin's performance was as stable as ever, averaging 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, and this has been the case since his rookie season.
This game has some clues. Glenn Robinson clearly stated in an interview that he didn't like Zhang Hao, because of the reason why Barkley was in that interview.
Also, George Carl was suspended for one year. After studying at the New York University School of Physical Education for a year, he got the NBA license again and returned to the NBA to coach. He joined the Bucks for a low price of 2.1 million yuan for three years and coached well...
After the game started, Glenn Robinson played very hard. As one of the most stable scorers in the league, Glenn Robinson's talent and skills are definitely the top outside.
The game was very intense. After the third quarter, the Bucks led the Supersonics 83-75 by 8 points.
In the final quarter, Zhang Hao and Kassel took turns to play, playing defense only, relying on stars.
Kassel focused his energy on the final quarter, scored 9 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, Zhang Hao scored 17 points in a single quarter, and the Supersonics played the Bucks 30-19 in the last quarter.
In the end, the Supersonics relied on Zhang Hao's steal counterattack and dunked widened the score difference to 3 points, securing the victory. The Supersonics narrowly defeated the Bucks 105-102, winning four consecutive victories, and improving the record to 23 wins and 10 losses!
Zhang Hao scored 41 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 1 block in the whole game, and Kassel scored 19 points and 10 assists, and all performed well.
But the highest score was Glenn Robinson, who scored a career high of 45 points in a single game.
Glenn Robinson once again proved with his strength that his hard work is still awesome. After all, it is not really possible for everyone to finish the get off work after getting 20 points in each game.
Originally, there were rumors that Zhang Hao was playing triple-double.
But in this game against the Bucks, Zhang Hao made a strong counterattack in the final quarter.
In the last quarter, he had the opportunity to receive a pass from Kassel to pass it to his open teammates on both sides, but Zhang Hao chose to shoot with the situation of supplementary defense.
He was not held tightly, but just made up. Zhang Hao had room to lift the ball when he received the ball. In fact, the success rate of his current wing shots was higher than that of his current opponents. Of course, if there was a backup defense, there would definitely be a risk of being disturbed, but Zhang Hao still chose to shoot.
The news is being written, winning > triple-double, Zhang Hao proved himself with practical actions.
...
"Aix, as you said, I first posted a press release saying that you would try a triple-double, and then a reversal, and the popularity would be higher and faster than I thought."
"Of course it will be very fast. NBA games are so intensive. Fans have discussions every day, but I didn't deliberately pursue not to get a triple-double. Last night, I felt good and I was better at making up for defense than my teammates' open shots."
"But it's still very dangerous. If you lose the game..."
"I just need to lead the team to win. If we lose in our lineup, people will feel normal. As long as we win, we will be praised. We just magnify the strength of being praised."
“That’s right…”
The morning after the game against the Bucks, Zhang Hao flew to Oakland with the team and will challenge the Warriors back-to-back away tonight.
Pelinka happened to come to Seattle yesterday to report to Zhang Hao about the recent decline in 58 Technology's stock price. At what time should we buy back the shares? This is definitely a time when the stock price is the lowest.
Also, we will discuss a person from China who looks like a liar and is already waiting in Auckland.
There is a game to play in the evening, and there is still an hour of defense training in the afternoon. There is not much time. When we arrived in Oakland, Zhang Hao and Pelinka came to a private club.
As the saying goes, people who do big things look special at first glance, but first of all, they look special.
For example, Emperor Guangwu of Han, Emperor Guang of Sui, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty... Each has its own characteristics.
In modern times, this person, at first glance, looks so distinctive.
"Sorry, Teacher Ma, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"No, I just arrived."
"..." Zhang Hao clearly heard Pelinka say that the person in front of him had been in the United States for several days.
I had learned about Zhang Hao's personality traits from Pelinka before. The man surnamed Ma, who looks strange, said directly: "I and more than a dozen talents who are top in their respective fields have established an online business trading company to communicate wholesale trade between Hangzhou and voluntary. Now I plan to continue to expand the scale and need investment. I think you will be interested..."
“I’m not interested.”
"ah?"
"I'm not interested in what you want to do. I just want to know how much I can get if I invest in you."
It was indeed direct enough! The man surnamed Ma responded decisively: "Ten times! No, one hundred times!"
Although the two spoke Chinese, Pelinka next to him has also learned some Chinese in recent years to facilitate cooperation with Chinese businessmen. After hearing this answer, Pelinka quickly pulled Zhang Hao next to him.
Too unreliable!
Pelinka originally thought this guy was like a liar. Now when it comes to investment, he is indeed a liar!
But Zhang Hao ignored it and said, "Okay, I'm going to invest 20 million."
