With 14 wins and 1 loss, the Supersonics achieved the best record in the league this season so far. As soon as the news came out, it shocked the chin.

Fans who have not paid much attention to basketball, NBA, or fans who do not pay much attention to the NBA but have a basic understanding of the NBA landscape have also turned their attention to the current news related to the NBA and Zhang Hao.

With 34 wins and 11 losses, the Supersonics made it to the second place in the West with a record of 14 wins and 1 losses in a single month, beating the Trail Blazers with 33 wins and 12 losses, and the Jazz with 32 wins and 13 losses, and even squeezed the Suns out of the top four in the West!

Now, the Lakers, with only 36 wins and 10 losses, are better than the Supersonics, and the Pacers, with the first place in the East, 34 wins and 11 losses, are ranked second in the league by relying on their advantage in winning or losing.

This seems to be impossible to people, but it really happened!

Except for Zhang Hao, the strongest player in the Supersonics team is Kassel, who averages 18.2 points and 6.4 assists per game. The rest are either role players, veterans over 33 years old, or rookies.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Hao barely made it to the playoffs with these teammates, which exceeded expectations. As a result, after playing 45 games in the regular season, the Supersonics ranked second in the West and third in the league!

However, compared to leading the team record, Zhang Hao's data is even more exaggerated. After 45 games, Zhang Hao scored a total of 1,462 points, 446 assists, 544 rebounds, 100 steals, and 104 blocks. He is the only player who has exceeded 100 in five statistics so far!

He averaged 32.5 points per game, surpassing O'Neal, who averaged 32 points per game; he averaged 9.9 assists per game, ranking second only to Kidd, who averaged 10.1 assists per game; he averaged 12.1 rebounds per game, ranking fifth in the league behind Mutombo, O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett and others; he averaged 2.3 blocks per game, ranking eighth in the league behind Mooning, Ratliff, Mutombo, O'Neal, Sean Bradley, David Robinson, Duncan and others; he averaged 2.2 steals per game, ranking fourth in the league behind Eddie Jones, Iverson and Pierce.

Since the NBA has detailed statistics, no player has been able to enter the top ten in all five data lists!

The closest thing to Zhang Hao is Hakim Olajuwon in the 1988-89 season, ranked 10th in the scoring list, 1st in the rebounding list, 4th in the blocking list, and 6th in the steal list.

Average of 32.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 9.9 assists, 2.2 steals, 2.3 blocks, shooting percentage of 54.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.2%, and free throw shooting percentage of 87.3%...

In 15 games in January, he averaged 34.6 points per game! Even if he put aside 86 points, he still averaged 30.8 points per game. But if he removed that game, Zhang Hao's data averaged 30.8 points per game so far! But even if he included the game with only 5 assists, looking at January alone, Zhang Hao won the second time this month's triple-double average this season!

This record and data, at this time, the 76ers on December 30 and 86 points on January 24, and the topicality brought by these two crazy performances has truly reached its peak!

Originally, Zhang Hao was the only one who was popular. Now, with 76 points + 86 points, and with the support of record and average data, people's discussions are different now.

In the past, adjectives were generally "strong".

Now, the adjective is “great”!

...

"Tonight, play the Jazz, and play the Suns at home. The 5th is still home, play the Mavericks, play the Suns away from home, the 7th is away from home, the Spurs away from home, the 9th is away from home, and the 11th is away from home... The games around the central and southern West are a bit difficult to play! Fortunately, on New Year's Eve on the 5th, my dad should be in Seattle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."

At the Delta Air Lines Center Arena in Salt Lake City, Zhang Hao was reading the team manual in the corner of the visiting team training ground, and Schramf came in.

"Aix, the league's live press conference is about to begin, don't you watch it?"

The day before yesterday, on January 30, the Supersonics played the Lakers at home and came to Salt Lake City yesterday morning. Today is the first day in February. I want to play against the Jazz and I don’t have time to celebrate the league’s best record in a single month.

Zhang Hao responded: "Okay, I understand, Mr. Schramf."

Watching Zhang Hao put the team manual into his backpack... The backpack is quite beautiful, but Schramf was a little confused. Zhang Hao seemed to carry this bag no matter where he went...

"Aix, is this bag of special significance? I see you carry it on your back every day."

"Special significance? No, but this bag is customized, the only one in the world, and it cannot be penetrated by bullets."

“…”

Although there is freedom, democracy and America, Schramf thinks it is not as dangerous as this!

Schramf thought for a long time, only one adjective - caution.

Can't think of anything else.

When we arrived at the lounge, except for James Percy who did not come from Seattle to Salt Lake City due to a waist injury, even Cory Benjamin and Sam Perkins on the non-activated list gathered in the lounge.

Jason Williams is bragging loudly.

When Zhang Hao came in, he heard Jason Williams say: "If Aix is ​​not the best player of the month, I will eat this table!"

Zhang Hao responded decisively: "Actually, I don't want to win the best player of the month, I hope it's not me."

"????" Jason Williams felt that this Buddha seemed to be targeting him, Ji Giant!

After the game in January, every time my teammates saw Zhang Hao, they felt excited. Compared with other teammates, they were more deeply moved by what happened in the past more than a month and the three months after the start of the new season!

For example, Dell Curry and Schramph, Sam Perkins are three veterans, Dell Curry and Sam Perkins are fine, but mainly Schramph, who is staying with the saying "We will definitely win the championship in three years."

But looking at the group of teammates around him, even if they traded back with Ratliff, the defender was more capable, and they still didn't look like they could make the playoffs.

Then, Zhang Hao forced himself to C. Although it was only the second in the Western Conference for the time being, the schedule for January was generally relaxed. The league did not regard them as the team that boosted the ratings in January at the beginning, and did not arrange too many games with strong teams. But no matter what, Schramf saw the future of this team! With Zhang Hao, there is a future!

At 12:05 noon, the Supersonics players did not go for lunch, and the official NBA press conference broadcast by CNY began.

In addition to the January best award, this press conference will also announce the results of the All-Star voting!

As of 12 noon on January 31, the Auckland All-Star voting has ended.

Bulls No. 1 pick Kobe Bryant played 16 games in January, averaging 30.8 points per game, and averaged 30+ per month for the first time in his career, including 40+ in 2 games and 60 points in 1 game. He performed amazingly, and won the Rookie Award for the Month for the third consecutive game without any suspense.

"Aix has won the 95th class, won the best rookie in the month, Duncan has won the best rookie in the month, and Bryant has also won the best rookie in the month, and it is likely that he will be the next three months! His record is OK, and his scoring data is similar to Aix's rookie year... Will the next rookie winner in the 2001 class?"

Jason Williams's remarks aroused heated discussions in the visiting team's lounge. Just like Zhang Hao in the 1995-96 season and Duncan in the 1997-98 season, Kobe's performance this season was so outstanding. Other team players privately discussed Kobe from time to time.

Zhang Hao heard his teammates discussing Kobe's game many times.

Next, the best coach of the month was announced in January. Supersonics coach Doug Collins won the best coach of the first month of his coaching career with a record of 14 wins and 1 losses in January!

In the coach's office of the visiting team's training ground, the supersonics coaching team also surrounded the TV. Doug Collins looked at his own photos in the TV screen, listened to the league's vice president Stu Jackson talking about his "glorious performance" in January, and listened to the congratulations of his colleagues...

Think about the years he worked hard in the Bulls and Pistons, getting up early and going to bed late... But the record was that way, let alone honors, what the Bulls valued was his brother's ability to cultivate young players, while the Pistons let him take the blame if something happened to him.

Now that we are in the Supersonics team, our work is relatively easy. Except for Silver Fox, every colleague wants to grab all the work. The team has no pressure on record. Everyone discusses troubles. It is also very happy... Then, for the first time in his career, I won the best coach of the month...

The last month’s best award, and the most important and valuable award - the best player of the month.

Without any suspense, Stu Jackson pronounced Zhang Hao's nickname.

The TV screen showed Zhang Hao's data in January, with 15 games, averaging 34.6 points, 11.8 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 2.4 steals, 2.2 blocks, a record of 14 wins and 1 loss, a highest score of 86 points in a single game, and two best weekly times in a single month...

Before the two games against the Lakers in January, Zhang Hao had won the Player of the Week twice. Even if he lost to the Lakers in the last two games, the probability of Zhang Hao winning the Player of the Month is much greater than that of O'Neal. Winning one game is basically a foregone conclusion. He won both games. Zhang Hao did not think that the Player of the Month will fall behind others.

Get a 60-day life span, it's so wonderful...

So far, Mr. Zhang has two best months and five best weeks. In terms of data, he has 4 assists and averaged triple-double per game, and has reached 20 triple-double per game!

This month’s best announcement, Zhang Hao didn’t care so much. He won a 60-day life span and a trophy. Next, he cared about it.

All-Star voting results are announced!

First, the voting results for the East were announced.

The Eastern Conference guards won the fifth vote, with Stephen Marbury of the Nets, with 390,000 votes; No. 4, Alan Houston of the Knicks, with 450,000 votes, third... Even the Supersonics players felt that it was too pitiful, just like the worst team was the runner-up, the worst votes in All-Stars were the third place in the forward and guards or the second place in the center. If they were not the All-Stars, they would not be the All-Stars starter.

Stu Jackson also praised the player first, kept it a secret, and then announced his name - Eddie Jones, with 790,000 votes.

Zhang Hao was also surprised to see Eddie Jones' performance. When he was on the Hornets, he was used as a core defender. Their role was stronger than Glen Rice back then. His score was not that high, and he averaged 21 points per game, but he averaged 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists more comprehensively, and he averaged 2.8 steals per game. He was far ahead of the second-place Iverson, who was a real defensive boss, and he competed with Payton, Kidd, and Kobe.

"I had known that I would have tried to sign Ratliff first and then exchange Jones in the offseason. With Nowitzki, the Mavericks would definitely think about getting Ratliff... But he doesn't miss me, and I still remember the fact that I was traded in 1995..."

Finally, the highlight has come.

During the second phase of the voting, the gap between Eddie Jones and Iverson was relatively small in the Eastern Conference defender vote. At that time, Iverson had 780,000 votes and Eddie Jones had 690,000 votes.

However, later, the gap widened, and Iverson's fan base was much larger than Eddie Jones. Even if this year's rookie Kobe has the extra attention exclusive to rookies, it cannot cover up Iverson's outstanding performance that is expected to be selected for the second team.

Iverson, who won the second place in the Eastern Conference defender, won the second place in the All-Star Game, and Kobe, who won the first place in the first place.

The Eastern Front received the votes. There was originally competition, but the competition was still fierce, but Grant Hill was reimbursed due to injury and is still in Germany and is still behind. He got only 410,000 votes and ranked fifth in the Eastern Front, while McGrady ranked fourth in 480,000 votes.

Duncan was miserable, getting 1.22 million votes, one of the only three players in the Eastern Conference forwards to win a vote of over 500,000, but he could only rank third.

Jordan ranked second in the Eastern Conference forward with 1.75 million votes, and Carter ranked first in the Eastern Conference forward with 2.18 million votes!

In terms of the Eastern Center, the number of votes is not known to everyone in the Supersonics. It is said that the competition is fierce, too, Mutombo, Ewing, Campbell, Rick Schmitz, Big Z... More than a dozen centers have received about 100,000 to 200,000 votes. Some people only look at the names. Supersonics players who are both professional players are not as good as their opponents' faces, but only one of them has more than 220,000 votes. Mooning got 1.88 million votes as the All-Star starting center.

The first releases of the five All-Stars in the Eastern Conference were announced, Iverson, Kobe, Jordan, Carter, and Mourning. If you insist on it, it would be a combination of four shooting guards and one center, Meidi very much.

On the TV screen, among the players who have announced the votes, Kobe beat Carter with 2.21 million votes, ranking first.

The rookie season has 60 points in a single game, which has not allowed Kobe to really get out of the circle, but he has 31 points in a single game, and has never appeared in the public eye outside the game since then, so he has actually got out of the circle! The popularity soared soaring soared so fast that even Carter, who has soared the fastest in the past two years, can't hold back!

The votes in the West were announced, first of all, the defender.

The Western Conference defenders have an average vote, unlike every starter in the East, with more than 1.5 million votes. There is no Western Conference defender who has won a vote of over 1.5 million. The fifth Mavericks point guard Jason Williams got 780,000 votes, the fourth Suns defender Hu Weidong got 810,000 votes, the third-place Gary Payton got 950,000 votes, the second-place Kidd got 1.13 million votes, and the first-place Anthony Hardaway got 1.44 million votes.

Among the Western Conference defenders, 3 of the 5 players were from the Suns...

Unlike the number of votes announced by the East, the Western defender jumped directly to the center after the announcement.

The meaning is very obvious, everyone understands that the Western Conference's vote leader is in the forward position!

O'Neal defeated Wang Zhizhi with 1.69 million votes and David Robinson with 1.32 million votes, and was once again elected as the All-Star starter!

Looking at the votes, Zhang Hao had an idea - "Will Xiao Yao be fucked by Xiao Zhizhi first before Xiao Zhizhi entered the NBA?"

Finally, the Western forward and the Supersonics players in the lounge were all focused, and even Zhang Hao was staring at the screen.

Fifth place Pippen, 430,000 votes, fourth place Rashid Wallace, 450,000 votes, third place Malone, 710,000 votes, second place Garnett, 1.34 million votes...

It was not surprising at all, and no one thought that Zhang Hao was not the Western Conference forward who won the first vote. When the second phase of the voting ended, Zhang Hao was already leading Garnett for more than 500,000 votes.

The most important thing depends on how many votes Zhang Hao has!

Stu Jackson is becoming more and more like the poor version of David Stern, and he begins to brag about Zhang Hao's performance without stopping, for several minutes.

"Aix, you'll be higher than 2.21 million votes, right?" Jason Williams looked even more nervous than Zhang Hao.

"It should be..." Zhang Hao was infected by Jason Williams' nervousness.
To be continued...
