In the afternoon, the teammates found that Zhang Hao's temperament had changed, and his eyes were moving forward?

In fact, it was a broken jar.

What else can I do?

Love comes or not!

Zhang Hao doesn't believe it anymore. He is a supernova who averages 27 points per game in a rookie season. Is he afraid that he will not attract players to join?

First of all, you have to have this confidence!

Go to the top in the West first!

Currently, the Supersonics lose and the number of losses, the Lakers also lose 17. Like the Supersonics, the Spurs accidentally injured their ankle during training because of David Robinson...

Speaking of which, it is already surprising that the Spurs rushed to the top in the Western Conference. Just like the Lakers played 17 consecutive victories in the middle of the season, no one expected that the Spurs, which were originally on the same record as the Jazz, rushed to the top in the Western Conference with 17 consecutive victories.

Zhang Hao went to the team's information room to check it. The Supersonics' record in the central region is 16 wins and 6 losses, with a winning rate of 72%. The Lakers' record in the Pacific region is 16 wins and 5 losses, with a winning rate of 76%.

"Two goals, one is to win all the last five games... At least we can't lose until the Supersonics lose in the last four games.

The main thing is that you can't lose these two games against the Suns and the Kings!"

Zhang Hao clearly sorted out their direction of striving for the first place in the West.

Although they are currently 0.5 wins behind the Supersonics, they have the same number of losses and better record in the competition zone. They are actually in the advantage stage at the moment!

...

At 6:40 pm, after warming up, Zhang Hao and his teammates entered the stadium together.

Suns, Charles Barkley!

What choice will Barkley make after the end of this season? Zhang Hao is very curious.

When Barkley renewed his contract with the Suns in 1994, he played an innovative move to the player execution terms, that is, the player option, and also extended the team execution terms, that is, the team option, that is, a clause can be added to the signed contract. Outside the contract period, you can choose to continue the contract, and the execution power is owned by the team or the player.

The emergence of this clause has made the players' independent decision-making power greater, but it also allows the team to give non-guarantee contracts. If the team options are not implemented, it is actually equivalent to non-guarantee.

In 1994, Barkley and the Suns reached a two-year contract renewal of $8.79 million. After the game expires this season, Barkley has the right to extend the contract for one year.

Zhang Hao's impression is that Barkley went to be Olajuwon and Drexler's thighs...

With his performance this season, Zhang Hao felt that Barkley was really strong! With the Suns losing Dan Marley and the main players were seriously aging or injured, Barkley won the best of the month in February, leading the Suns back to the playoffs, and has now locked in the top eight in the Western Conference with a negative impact.

In addition to Barkley, the Suns also have someone who makes Zhang Hao pay attention to Michael Finley, who doesn't look like a good person and plays very similarly to Jordan.

He doesn't look like a good person, but Michael Finley is really a good person, very friendly and gentle.

Among the rookies who played well in the same class and had good talent, there are only one who has a good relationship with him, Mr. Zhang.

The relationship between the two teams is pretty good. They have won and lost each other in the past two years. The same is true for this season. After a few greetings at the beginning, the two teams came to the court after making the final preparations before the game.

The Lakers sent a combination of Van Exel, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Zhang Hao and Campbell.

The Suns sent Kevin Johnson, Wesley Person, Michael Finley, Barkley, AC Green's lineup.

Barkley looked at the young but already dazzling lineup on the opposite side. Although he also doubted how far the young Lakers could go in the playoffs, this suspicion is similar to the doubts about the Celtics, where the whole team is full of high-quality players 20 years later, Barkley also felt that the Lakers in front of him were incredible.

If he went back 10 years ago, he would also want to play in a team like the Lakers.

Young, talented, and there is also such a genius Zhang Hao.

At 7 pm, the game began. Zhang Hao won the jump ball from AC Green, a former Lakers' two-game champion, and the Lakers attacked first!

Zhang Hao rushed to the free throw line and received the ball, attracting Barkley and AC Green's front and back attacks, gently throwing the ball to the right side of the basket, George Lynch rushed to the right side of the three-second zone and took a step and pressed the ball thrown by Zhang Hao into the basket before Michael Finley!

Zhang Hao jumped the ball around the opponent's center and rushed from the middle, with George Lynch on the wing, and Van Exel's long pass guided the Lakers' play after winning the jump ball at the beginning. After playing more than a dozen games, the opponents were all prepared.

However, there are not so many teams that can be defended, and the Suns are obviously not one of them.

He quickly scored two points at the beginning, and the Lakers only had only Zhang Hao and George Lynch. Doug Christie, who followed up to take the outside shot, passed the half. Campbell returned to the basket from the left side of the three-second zone after Zhang Hao won the jump ball.

Therefore, when the fast break started, Campbell received the most cheers. There were many fans shouting "EC" at the scene. Zhang Hao won the jump ball and completed the fast break. Campbell retreated when his teammates attacked... This scene, since Campbell did not jump ball, was the most exciting scene for Lakers fans at the beginning of each game.

Campbell, who was shouted, didn't know whether to be happy or sad...

Offensive and defensive conversion, Suns attack.

The Suns players are very focused and want to win the last four games, so that they may still reach sixth place. Currently ranked sixth in the West is the Portland Trail Blazers, with only 4 games left in the two winning games, and the chance is quite slim.

But the Suns still want to compete. Half a month ago, teams in the second half of the Western Conference playoffs did not want to meet the Spurs in the first round. Now, they all want to meet the Spurs in the first round...

Barkley advanced to the frontcourt and encountered George Lynch's defense. Campbell was at the basket... it was difficult to deal with!

After putting Magicians and Anthony Pierre on the bench, George Lynch and Doug Christie on the lineup, Zhang Hao went to the point guard, the Lakers' defense was greatly compensated, which could be almost equal to 4-drag 1 defense. The other four people are doing very well in their current defensive positions, above the level. Although Van Exel's defensive skills and poor awareness, he is very active in chasing and defending without the ball, fast, and can keep up with people.

Shortly after the Lakers got Zhang Hao, Barkley had played against the Lakers. Although he lost that time, his feeling was that the Lakers could only attack. Over the past half a season, the Lakers have improved significantly!

Even compared to the match after the All-Star Weekend, Barkley felt that the Lakers had become stronger again.

Del Harris spent most of his season analyzing and after practice, the determined lineup was indeed considered comprehensive offense and defense.

There are still many problems with top teams, but it is very stable against teams that are less than the playoff level, and the All-Stars record of 22 wins and 8 losses after the weekend is a good proof.

This record is just worse than the Bulls. To be honest, the record with a winning rate of more than 70% is definitely not bad.

In the first attack, Barkley did not ask for the ball. Kevin Johnson chose to make a fake move against Zhang Hao and returned with a two-pointer step... It was covered by Zhang Hao!

Kevin Johnson shot the ball out. When he saw Zhang Hao touching the ball with his fingertips, he finally understood why he was studying Zhang Hao's defense and the little point guards with shooting ability that Zhang Hao did not shoot from the outside...
Chapter completed!
