Although I thought I would lose to the Rockets, I lost too badly!

After receiving the interview, he returned to the lounge and said how frustrated he was when he lost. Zhang Hao’s current mood is not really frustrated.

After the first game, he understood the gap in strength. This gap is very simple - they don't have superstars in the Lakers.

Del Harris is making adjustments very hard and hard. The players of their team are also fully supporting Del Harris' adjustments, and everyone is working hard.

Since the first game, the Lakers have been making adjustments in every game.

Like the change of rhythm, almost every game changes, trying every way to create opportunities to win.

Sometimes it is indeed created, and they can play offensive climaxes at multiple times.

But the gap between top star combat power and playoff experience is really too big. Although the Rockets' rhythm changes are not as good as the Lakers', the Rockets have the advantage of strength and can play in regular time. When the Lakers find the counterattack point, the Rockets can also play an offensive wave.

The Lakers have already fought to the limit, but their limit is obviously not as good as they can beat the Rockets.

Although the Rockets are not as invincible as last season's playoffs, the Lakers are obviously far from last season's Magic, Spurs and Jazz.

If you really want to talk about your current feelings, Zhang Hao is more regretful. Seeing that Olajuwang was still so strong in the playoffs in the last year of his peak, he regretted that he did not have the strength to compete with him.

Otherwise, this series will be even more exciting.

In an instant, Zhang Hao felt a sense of melancholy, "You are not born, I am old, I am old."

Of course, losing the series is definitely not a happy thing. Zhang Hao saw the gap in strength between his own team and the championship-level team, and saw his shortcomings in many aspects.

However, the aspects of progress can also be seen.

After the first game, Zhang Hao took the initiative and let go of the game. He doesn't matter what his shooting opportunity is, and what team he has, and throws it if he feels there is a chance.

He didn't do well at the beginning, but as he fought, he really felt his progress.

In the first round, he took the overall situation into consideration, thought about team-oriented... and so on, of course, he did a good job, helping them to sweep the Kings steadily, but his playing style at that time was obviously not conducive to his progress.

When playing against the Rockets, a team that is stronger in offense and defense, he made a move. At first, he didn't play well, but as he played, he adapted to the NBA rhythm faster.

It’s a pity that his superstar and top star are still a little worse than that…

After all, without that wave of 20 wins and 1 loss, they are a team with about 55 wins, and a team that lacks the ability of truly top stars. It is unlikely that they can achieve great things in the playoffs.

Although I felt the gap after the first game, and I knew it was difficult after the first three games. After returning from the away game, I guessed that I would end this year's playoff journey at home, and I had accepted that I was not strong enough, but after being eliminated, it was still quite uncomfortable. Zhang Hao occupied the bathroom alone for a long time.

The teammates outside the bathroom were all frivolous, but no one wanted to go in and get humiliated.

Only the Magician with a separate office and bathroom in the Great Western Forum Arena, happily bathing in their own exclusive bathroom.

...

The fans in the Great Western Forum Arena stayed for a long time before leaving.

Half a year ago, they had no expectations for this season.

The confidence of Lakers fans comes from their brilliant team history, from the Lakers' outstanding management and the talent accumulated in recent years, so they can wait for their talent to be fulfilled with confidence.

However, when the trade was obtained by Zhang Hao and Doug Christie, the Magicians, they quickly realized their talents in the regular season, and directly turned their talents into record in the first year after the trade, winning the regular season Western Conference championship, fans also looked forward to it.

But the playoffs gave them a cruel scene - they really don't have superstars yet.

However, the fans stayed not because of their dissatisfaction with their own talented stars.

As Lakers fans, they pay more attention to their own players. They have seen Zhang Hao's progress in the 5 games in the second round!

From 17 points in the first game, 24 points in the second game, 31 points in the third game, 21 points in the fourth game, and the last 30 points, Zhang Hao scored 20+ in the last four games except for the first game, and his shooting percentage was sometimes quite bad, but Zhang Hao boldly adjusted his playing style based on the game and the team's tactics.

Fans can see these progress!

Their season stay was because Zhang Hao took all the blame on himself in the interview after the playoffs.

Why did the Lakers lose their home court at the beginning of the series and sometimes withstand the pressure from the media and boldly make adjustments in their playing style?

The Lakers actually didn't lose much. The total scores of 31 points were lost in the five games of the entire series. The Jazz didn't have as much loss in four games as the first round. It was because they dared to change, which actually caused quite a lot of trouble for the Rockets.

In other words, the Rockets have four players who are very good at playing key balls, Olajuwon, Drexler, Cassel and Horry, otherwise they really have a chance.

Of course, there are many differences, but the game is reflected in the Rockets playing better at critical moments and connections.

The reason why the Lakers can withstand the pressure is that Zhang Hao was selected for a while before the series began.

The matter of being selected for a while has brought Zhang Hao to the forefront, which has caused the target of the media to attack Zhang Hao after every loss of the Lakers.

Zhang Hao's calm attitude made the team and his teammates feel less pressure.

At the end of the game, the large screen above the court was given to Zhang Hao. Although the "rice" that Zhang Hao said in an interview, the fans could not hear the sound of the sound and could not hear what the media asked, but after watching the ball for so many years, the fans knew that every year their Lakers were eliminated in the playoffs, the person who attracted the most attention was always attacked, and it must be a question of the blame.

And Zhang Hao, the first word he answered, took responsibility on himself.

The Lakers' mother has many fans and many beautiful fans. After the game, many fans stayed at the scene and shouted "X" to the players' passage...

...

"How about it, Aix, our fans are pretty good. They aren't really that ruthless, not so victorious."

After taking a shower, Zhang Hao was about to go home, but was taken to the player's passage by the magician.

Seeing that an hour later after the game was over, many fans stayed in the stadium, Zhang Hao's mood suddenly improved a lot.

The magician looked at the stadium and sighed: "We don't blame you for losing. You are definitely our best player, but unfortunately I am no longer the best player. I can't take you with you like Kareem to win the championship, otherwise... you will be the greatest rookie in history, not one of them."

After being eliminated, Zhang Hao took a shower for more than half an hour, and now he has actually calmed down.

What else can I do if I have been eliminated?

The strength gap is so big that he dare not try the star experience card casually. He feels that if his playing style changes, the team coaches and teammates may collapse, and he has been mentally prepared.

As for whether you can rely on the stars to experience the card to defeat your opponent by yourself... Come on, Olajuwon, the opponent's strongest superstar in the playoffs at his peak.

Unless they are barely able to compete with the Lakers' strength, he can become that X factor.

Or in the second game, their team performed better and seized more opportunities.

Otherwise, even if he relies on the star experience card and wins one more game, what's the use?

Instead, it may make teammates have illusions, and the coaching staff have illusions, and they dare not make drastic adjustments or focus on the adjustment of the game that explodes towards him.

In this case, his progress may be delayed, and he can clearly feel his progress in the playoffs.

Be more adaptable to the playoffs, the ability to seize opportunities under high confrontations becomes stronger, and the judgment of seizing opportunities becomes stronger.

These things that cannot be analyzed from a technical perspective and cannot be reflected in the evaluation of ability are important growth he has made in this failed playoff journey.

Listening to the magician's sigh, Zhang Hao frowned. In the darkness, the magician looked back at Zhang Hao and didn't see it.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Hao asked: "Mr. Johnson, do you want to retire?"

The magician smiled without hesitation and said, "Yes, this year has been a dream year for me. I just want to feel my life as a professional player. I didn't expect that I actually won 65 wins again, haha."

"Why would you fight for a few more years?"

"?"

"Mr. Johnson, have you ever thought about playing for another two years?"

This time it was the magician's turn to remain silent, and it took a long time to ask: "Why?"

Zhang Hao smiled rare: "Without you, I would definitely not be able to play so well in the regular season. I need your help.

besides……

You can't take me to win the championship, so change it, I'll take you to win the championship."

Looking at Zhang Hao's smile, looking at his bright eyes, feeling the confident look... I was moved...

...

The Lakers were killed by the Rockets 1-4 and were eliminated in the second round. As a first-team star of the Lakers and a star who won the first-team season in a rookie season, Zhang Hao became the protagonist of hot news without any suspense.

Fans who like him will feel very awesome about taking responsibility for his own initiative after he is eliminated.

But those who hate him, those who are more qualified will only say "It is your responsibility."

However, passers-by fans have attracted a lot of fans.

Passers-by fans will not have other emotions, and they will not subjectively ignore Zhang Hao's identity as a rookie. People with tinted glasses say, "Zhang Hao is not worthy of a moment", but if Zhang Hao doesn't perform for a moment in the game, they can spray.

When Lakers fans enter an inevitable night, when Lakers rival fans or Zhang Hao's black fans enter the carnival night, a fat man looked at the table of food in front of him, but had no intention of eating it.

If it was a normal offseason, he would not have to eat such a big table every day after being eliminated.

After being eliminated in the first round, he came to Los Angeles to his favorite donut shop. He had a great time after the Lakers lost the first game.

But after the Lakers won one game, he began to have trouble.

Later, the Lakers lost three games in a row, and he felt more and more upset.

That rookie is so outstanding! The speed of progress, the ability to adapt to the game, the ability to adjust... so outstanding!

"If they had another All-Star player, they wouldn't lose to the Rockets, would they?"

Thinking of this, I lost my appetite and was so entangled!

Admittedly, he really wanted to hold a strong thigh and win the championship.

But, if you can become a thigh?
