Pierce thought for a while and said, "Yes, Hardaway has not even made it to the All-Star starter in the year. In recent years, only O'Neal and Hill have become All-Star starters..."

Suddenly, Pierce understood his thoughts: "I understand! I finally know why these newspapers are written like this. They are damning you! I said that there are several newspapers here. I have seen news about them damaging you before, but why did they suddenly change their sexual desire?"

Seeing Pierce's gritting teeth, Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "Is there any newspaper written like this?"

“It seems there are…”

"That's fine. I've been praising a lot of news recently. I've played well during this period and just won the Christmas battle. Now I've found a topic to create, and there must be a lot of media following the trend."

Zhang Hao's calm look made Pierce calm down, and April Clark, from the beginning of the conversation between the two, was attracted by Zhang Hao's calm look...

After Pierce calmed down, he felt that Zhang Hao was justified. If he became popular in Los Angeles, he would definitely encounter such a situation. But he still had a doubt: "Aix, don't care about this?"

"I don't know why I got to this point..." Zhang Hao said and paused, "Since someone wants to see us fight, then let's fight.

It’s nothing if they didn’t make it to the All-Star starter. They just say it, it won’t affect me, but what if they make it?”

"What are we going to do?"

“It’s very simple.”

"Uh-huh……"

Looking at Pierce's expectant eyes, Zhang Hao replied: "Train well and try to win."

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

"It seems that this is really the only way..."

...

After lunch, Pierce and his mother went back to the apartment. After Christmas, the apartment was very busy, and they had to clean, repair furniture, and rent...

April Clark made an appointment with the little sister to go shopping.

Zhang Hao was alone at home and watched the Spurs' game video. After the Christmas game yesterday, he asked the team for videos of the Spurs' last three games.

"The young general who was transformed by a mad scientist is really amazing..."

When watching the Spurs game video, he was not paying attention to David Robinson, a superstar who can win double first teams in the era of the four major centers. He is obviously very strong.

What he noticed was that other Spurs players. When they met before, what made him feel the most special was Avery Johnson. He had investigated specifically that this guy was out of the draft in 1988. After joining the NBA, he was very mediocre in the first five seasons. However, after playing under the Warriors' Old Nelson for a year in the 193-94 season, he seemed to have an epiphany. He returned to the Spurs last season and immediately raised the Spurs to a higher level and became a team of 60+ wins. David Robinson also won the MVP.

Zhang Hao focused on Avery Johnson's offensive efficiency when he was replaced and was easily discovered. The difference between the offensive efficiency between him and the Spurs was not on the court!

I called the team information office's head for consultation, and the results were the same as what he analyzed.

"The young general was present, the Spurs scored 114 points per 100 rounds. When he was resting, the Spurs scored 101 points per 100 rounds.

But when he was there, the rate of error was higher…”

I'll know more about the opponents I'm about to fight, and I won't be wrong.

As long as there is time and there is no training schedule on that day, Zhang Hao is willing to conduct targeted research on every opponent and find points that can be used.

After a few hours, I was a little tired and came to the living room, watched TV, and watched sports news.

In the past few hours, the topic of "whether Zhang Hao can be selected as the All-Star starter in the rookie season" has been fermenting.

From common sense, it is normal for him to be a rookie, not selected as an All-Star starter.

But public opinion was led to him, Zhang failed to be selected as the All-Star starter.

It is false to say that he doesn't care. As he gradually adapts to his current life and gradually integrates into his role as an NBA player, he also becomes concerned about these things because it has become a part of his life as a player.

Life is about caring.

But the solution is just like he told Pierce, the only way to play well...

Suddenly, Zhang Hao thought of something and asked in his heart: "If I were selected as an All-Star, would I have any reward?"

"Special signing players are selected as All-Stars and participate in All-Star events, with corresponding rewards and task triggers."

"Oh? Can all signing players?"

"Except for special signing players, the host has a team that cannot trigger tasks before joining a basketball league. There are no special rewards for ordinary signing players to participate in special events."

Seeing the answer on the subtitles, Zhang Hao fell into deep thought... "This means that special signing players have rewards and tasks? Under normal circumstances, tasks are all based on the team, and some things completed with the team as the main body are rewarded?

No wonder I have signed Xiao Wang for so long and have not had a single task. So that's the case. What's the situation with Wang Zhizhi?

Equal to rent out? Is rent a lifespan?

Very good, Xiao Wang, become an excellent worker!”

If you have a reward, of course you have to rush and try your best to do your best in every game. This is the best way.

As for not being selected... then not being selected. At most, the media will be mocked by public opinion.

The rest time of the day passed quickly. At 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Hao was about to take a shower and go to bed. At this time, the phone rang.

It was called by Henry Thomas.

After connecting, Henry Thomas went straight to the topic: "Aix, Nike raised the offer, 12 million in 3 years!"

Henry Thomas's tone revealed excitement.

Zhang Hao was also very happy, but he was a little confused: "Didn't they just give 2 million yuan a year when I killed Jordan before? Why did it double suddenly?"

"Aix, it all depends on so much media digging for you today?"

"What does this offer mean? I have to be selected as the All-Star starter to get it?"

"No, you have an additional 1 million bonus for the All-Star starter, but they also think it's difficult for you to be the All-Star starter."

"Then why?"

"What the sponsors want is not that you are really selected as the All-Star starter. If you sign you and you are selected as the All-Star starter, they will naturally be happy. That is a reflection of your popularity, and they may sell more sneakers.

What they care more about is that you have never stopped talking about topics. They keep increasing the price because of this. This time the topic of whether you can be selected as the All-Star starter is amazing. This time they finally made up their minds to give us a quote that will satisfy us."

"So that's it, it's traffic again..."

"What?"

The sigh just now was in Chinese, but the other party didn't understand. Zhang Hao replied: "I'm saying 'So that's it.' If this quote is signed for 3 years, Henry, what do you think?"

Henry Thomas's answer is simple: "Sign."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Okay... by the way, do you know that?"

"What's up?"

"You really don't know! I'll just say why you are so calm, Cebaros was traded!"

"watt?"

...

...

"Our team was broken up like this..."

Listening to Van Exel's lament, Zhang Hao's heart also felt turbulent.

Eddie Jones, Cebaros, Divac... It seems that he left because he was coming or came.

But after experiencing once when he had a teammate and the coaching staff got better and better, he was suddenly traded, and he had a much stronger ability to accept such things.

Yesterday evening, the Lakers, Raptors and Warriors reached a three-party deal.

The Lakers sent Cebaros and got the Warriors' substitute power forward Donyere Marshall, the Raptors' Doug Christie, and the Raptors' 1997 Lottery protection draft pick.

The Raptors sent Doug Christie and Oliver Miller, who protected the draft pick in the first round of 1997 and won Cebaros.

The Warriors sent Donyere Marshall and got Oliver Miller.

This deal is regarded as the beginning of the Lakers' desire to build a team around Zhang Hao.

It can be seen that Zhang Hao and the Magician partnered with the forward line and the effect was obviously better. The main reason was that the Magician relied on his rich experience and excellent organizational offensive ability to fight with Zhang Hao.

There is no doubt that Zhang Hao, who has been the focus of the topic these two days, has successfully become the hot topic of discussion among the media.

When she was relieved, she shed tears. Zhang Hao really didn't like such changes, mainly because he didn't want to see any teammates leave.

But he had left, and he had no choice. He chose to pay attention to the team's new teammates said to be coming to this afternoon - Doug Christie and Donyere Marshall.

All pitchers!

Among them, Doug Christie, in addition to being a pitcher, will be the boss who will be selected as the first defense at the age of 33 in the future!

Although it is not that good now, there are already 85 defensive evaluations!

"The logo man must have never expected that he wanted to replenish the back line and traded the pitcher who had played on our team. The pitcher went out to wander around and the defense was actually practiced."

In terms of the rationality of the lineup, Zhang Hao believes that this deal is not bad, but... the human touch of the Lakers is only in the category of superstars. He may be concerned about ordinary players, but he will never hesitate when he should be a bargaining chip.

The transaction itself is not a loss, it is a rare transaction that all three parties think they are not a loss.

The Warriors got the tough inside they wanted, and the Raptors got an All-Star player.
