Zhang Hao can understand very well why Kobe, Jordan and others like shooting so much, like to fight with others, and like to do it by themselves at critical moments...

Because, although I was angry when I was hitting the iron, I was so happy to compete with the other party after I threw in it!

After more than a year, Mr. Zhang gradually had such an opportunity to do such a thing!

26-24, the Lakers led by two points again!

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Zhang Hao scored 4 points and 1 assist, while Anthony Hardaway scored 5 points and 1 assist.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led by 33-32 by 1 point and entered the break.

Anfini Hardaway scored 22 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, and his performance was extremely fierce in the first quarter.

Zhang Hao scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, O'Neal scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, and Kenny Anderson scored 7 points and 2 assists.

Even though Anfini Hardaway performed violently in a single quarter of 20+, the Lakers also withstood it!

With O'Neal being distracted, the Lakers still maintained a slight lead after the first quarter.

However, compared with the Magic, the Lakers' performance in the first quarter has considerable hidden dangers.

The Magic are used to star chiseling, and others are playing with the ball and shoot. For example, last season, O'Neal scored 41 points and Anthony Hardaway scored 30 points. The Magic team won 82-75, and they defeated the Supersonics.

But the Lakers' scoring has always been relatively balanced, and tonight's scores are almost concentrated on Zhang Hao, O'Neal, and Kenny Anderson.

Except for these three brothers, only Barkley scored 3 points, James Robinson scored 3 points, and no one else scored!

Even the others even made few moves. The Lakers successfully made 20 moves in the first quarter, and 16 of them were three of them! The others had only 4 moves in total.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent Fisher, Doug Christie, Magic, Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao.

The Magic sent Anthony Hardaway, Gerard Wilkins, Denis Scott, Hores Grant and Danny Shayers.

After the start of the second quarter, the Magic's defensive goals were very clear, and Zhang Hao was hit by a pincer when he received the ball! It was not until Zhang Hao arrived at the shooting area before hitting the ball, but directly hitting the ball!

Doug Christie and Fisher made one shot once in a row, and the Magic, who attacked the first in the second quarter, played efficiently during this period, making 2 of 3 shots, relying on Danny Shayes Cheebing and Denis Scott's three-pointer to beat the Lakers 37-33 with 4 points!

Doug Christie took the initiative to stand up and played singles. Her skillful horizontal pull made her phone with two points but failed to make a goal. Instead, Anfini Hardaway seized the opportunity to counterattack and hit a jump shot.

39 to 33, the Magic overtook the Lakers at the beginning of the second quarter and led by 6 points.

At this time, Zhang Hao stood up and was directly hit by the ball at the baseline. The opponent did not care about their mid-range shots above the Lakers' free throw line and the wing, but only clamped him and guarded the basket. This gambling defense was really right. The Lakers made continuous blackouts in the second quarter.

Since that's the case, he will catch the ball on the left side of the top arc!

When Zhang Hao catches the ball at the middle distance of the bottom line, if the opponent ignores the pitcher outside the three-point line, he will directly hit Zhang Hao, and have plenty of time to prevent cutting.

But when Zhang Hao came to the left side of the top arc, the Magic players could only defend alone. Denis Scott chose to defend. Zhang Hao turned around and pushed Denis Scott out and broke through directly!

The strongest first step triggers! When Zhang Hao meets an opponent whose strength is not as strong as his and directly breaks through the ball, the confrontation will not have an effect on his start. Moreover, when the opponent fails to hinder his breakthrough and fails to block his breakthrough line, he starts at full speed!

The Magic team is ready to attack Zhang Hao after breaking through. Hores Grant's ability to make up for defense is absolutely top-notch, but he is still a beat slower. Zhang Hao rushed into the basket, jumped up and leaned against Danny Shayes, and made a throw shot!

35-39, Zhang Hao made a breakthrough layup this time to help the Lakers stop bleeding.

Magic's offense, Anthony Hardaway broke through and failed to get rid of Doug Christie's defense, but he stopped at close range when he was close to avoid Zhang Hao's quick drop in three seconds zone and scored two points...

It's 26 points!

Looking back, Zhang Hao used the last round's play again. This time, Horez Grant asked Danny Shayes to make up for Zhang Hao's mid-range shot. Horez Grant himself guarded the basket and defended quite well, but after Zhang Hao took off, he switched the ball from his right hand to his left hand and smashed it directly into the basket!

The dunk in the air! Hores Grant did a good job of interfering with the shooting, but his explosive power was not as good as the Bulls when he was older, and his height was not as good as Danny Shayes and Ronnie Secali.

Just like the Lakers' fierce Anthony Hardaway has no choice, the Magic have no choice, and they have no choice to Zhang Hao.

The Magic team relied on the outbreak of Anfini Hardaway, and the team's offense was getting better and better.

The Magic's team attack is Anthony Hardaway attracts defense, and others take the ball and shoot it or pass it again.

Compared with the first half of the first quarter, Anfini Hardaway chose to play high and low posts to support the first time when the ball was not in the ball and was not allowed to hit in advance, it was beneficial for Zhang Hao, but it was not necessarily beneficial for Anfini Hardaway. Now Anfini Hardaway's breakthrough was ignored and his touch was still hot. The Lakers really couldn't do anything to him.

But the Magic team has no choice but to do with Zhang Hao. Fortunately, the Lakers' role players feel bad tonight, otherwise they would not even be able to cause more trouble for Zhang Hao.

In this case, the Magic chose to work hard to consume Zhang Hao's physical strength and rely on Anthony Hardaway to support him.

Zhang Hao played several rounds in a row to help the Lakers keep the score tight.

But this kind of playing style is really tiring. Although at this stage, it is not a big problem to delay two rounds, you will still be tired if you should be tired.

Finally, after Zhang Hao scored 9 points in a row, he suddenly encountered Danny Shayes to make up for defense and chose to make an emergency stop and jump shot. He was not sure about the shooting. He had not learned this move yet to be able to use it in the game. He made a strong mid-range shot!

Hores Grant almost stuck Jason Williams to get a defensive rebound. The Magic were feeling that the opportunity had come. Zhang Hao must have a slow down. The Magic had a chance to widen the gap. Hores Grant was about to pass the ball to Anthony Hardaway. Jason Williams hugged Hores Grant directly!

Tactical foul! After playing for 4 minutes in the second quarter, the Lakers and Magic played 42-45. After Zhang Hao needed to slow down, Jason Williams received a foul as the coach told Zhang Hao when he was free throwing just now. O'Neal came on the court!

As soon as O'Neal came up, he gave Anthony Hardaway a big hat to break through Doug Christie into the inside!

Compared with Doug Christie and Zhang Hao's defensive combination, Doug Christie and O'Neal's defensive combination are obviously stronger. Zhang Hao's ability to protect the frame is first-class, but O'Neal's three-second zone and close-range protection ability are absolutely top in the league!

The Magician grabbed the rebound, changed offense and defense, and fell into the positional battle. O'Neal hung Danny Shayes to complete the dunk!

O'Neal finished the dunk this time, and two fouls on the Magic team. After O'Neal finished the dunk, he rushed out excitedly and collided with the Magician.

At this time, the Magic Team discussed to start the shark-cutting tactic again.

However, O'Neal walked onto the free throw line and made the extra free throw!

45 square meters!

When the Magic attacked, Anthony Hardaway was prepared this time, pretending to be strong, and smashed the ball to the floor in the confrontation with O'Neal at the basket. Danny Shayes, on the other side of the three-second zone, received the ball and made a throw.

The aura of Anfini Hardaway was fully reflected in this ball.

Strong strength and beautiful style of playing... Jordan's two first-generation successors, if they were not cursed by injuries, would indeed have the talent and strength to become a player who would lead the NBA forward.

However, after the Magic completed the attack, they did not dare to cut the shark immediately. O'Neal actually made a free throw with a hollow shot just now.

Since this is the case, the Magic can only attack immediately. When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao used the Magician's pick-and-roll to receive the pass from O'Neal who was double-teamed when he received the ball. Facing Anthony Hardaway, who was actively defended, Zhang Hao ignored the opponent and raised the ball and shot it!

47 square meters!

Zhang Hao's personal score has also increased to 25 points!

At this time, Zhang Hao could no longer control any tasks or tasks.

He wants to win this kind of game!

No matter whether there is a task or not, he simply wants to win!

However, without other distractions, Zhang Hao played more freely. After he was overtaken in the second quarter, he played very freely. He played whatever he should play. First of the game, put the task aside first, and the opportunities he saw were more!

The score between the two teams was anxious until 6 minutes and 42 seconds in the second quarter. Zhang Hao made a long pass from the left side of the free throw line to the right bottom line. Fisher received the ball and made a three-pointer. The Lakers completed the overtake 56-55. The Magic called a timeout!

After the official timeout came back, both teams replaced more main players. Except for Barkley, the Lakers team did not play, and all four other starters were played. Fisher and Kenny Anderson played double point guard, while the Magic sent out a starting lineup again.

Under the leadership of Anfini Hardaway, the scores of the two teams continued to be anxious. However, the Magic team was already in the case of Anfini Hardaway's explosion, so the Magic team, with a single lineup structure, could play with the Lakers anxiously.

When the Lakers seized some opportunities that were difficult to seize under normal circumstances, the gap in strength was reflected!

At 7 minutes and 29 seconds in the second quarter, Zhang Hao was hit by a pincer and the passing angle was limited, he chose to directly push the ball to the right side of the basket. O'Neal turned around under the basket and carried Caironi - Selica jumped and held the ball in the air... and took the ball away!

When Hores Grant and Anthony Hardaway both came to attack Zhang Hao from the outside and broke through with the ball. The former blocked Zhang Hao and passed directly to the basket, and the latter defended Zhang Hao from passing Fisher on the wing, Zhang Hao passed a ball that no one except O'Neal could receive in the whole game.

Maybe because O'Neal's partner is the No. 8 player, O'Neal really helped Zhang Hao turn this pass into an assist.

At 9 minutes and 11 seconds, Zhang Hao judged Anthony Hardaway's passing target and moved secretly in advance. When Hores Grant received the ball and raised it to shoot, he jumped out from behind and directly took off Hores Grant's shot, blocked and grabbed!

Hores Grant immediately made a tactical foul on Zhang Hao, and the Lakers fell into the positional battle. The Lakers did not make a shot in the last round. This time, Zhang Hao's block helped the Lakers have an additional offensive opportunity. Kenny Anderson broke through the mid-range emergency stop and scored a jump shot!

The opponent's open mid-range shot was blocked, and the Lakers made a shot, and it was equivalent to 4 points!

At 9 minutes and 49 seconds, with Anfini Hardaway missing a strong shot, Zhang Hao made a counterattack and made a layup for Fisher. The Lakers led the Magic 68-62 with 6 points!

The Magic team tried their best to play against the Lakers. When Zhang Hao cooperated with O'Neal and Doug Christie, it caused a great interference to Anfini Hardaway's sudden score. After Anfini Hardaway's incredible feel gradually cooled down, the gap in strength became prominent!

Anfini Hardaway was a little anxious. Facing Doug Christie's defense, he chose to take a three-pointer... Although Anfini Hardaway's three-pointer was not good, but when he felt good, the three-point shooting rate was still very high. However, after he gained weight, the shooting outside the three-point line became extremely bad, and he almost didn't touch it!

O'Neal got stuck in the position, Zhang Hao grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Magic finally couldn't help it. They chose to chop the Sharks, who had already committed three blunders!

In the last two minutes of the first half, the Lakers scored 3 points and the Magic scored 4 points. O'Neal made 1 of 4 free throws and was replaced. Kenny Anderson suddenly gave the Magician who came on the bench to hit a throw.

O'Neal really worked hard tonight, worked very hard on the defensive end, actively rushing on the offensive end, playing selflessly, and could also receive passes like Zhang Hao that would take the life of other center forwards...

However, you can do anything with hard work, only free throws can’t be done!

But the Magic got 6 shots in two minutes, but only hit 1 goal. In addition, only Anfini Hardaway caused Zhang Hao to make over-defense Zhang Hao to make both free throws, which means 5 successful shots, only 1 hit!

Unlike the second half of the first quarter, after O'Neal went down from the second half of the first quarter, the Magic relied on the super performance of Anthony Hardaway who could forcibly score regardless of rhythm and defensive strength, and played a good team cooperation.

But now, the rhythm of the Magic team has been disrupted, but Anfini Hardaway's touch is not as good as before, and the Magic team's offense has been greatly restricted!

Although the Magic disrupted the Lakers' rhythm, at the end of the half, the Magic still trailed the Lakers by 5 points 66-71!

In the third quarter, the Lakers did not replace O'Neal at the beginning, and sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Byron Scott, Brian Shaw, Jason Williams and Zhang Hao.

On the Magic, Anthony Hardaway did not play at the beginning, and Kenny Anderson, Gerald Wilkins, Nick Anderson, Horeth Grant, and Ronnie Secali came on the court.

The Lakers have increased their pitchers as much as possible, but today, the Lakers' role players have not performed well except Fisher's mid-range and long-range shooting. When it comes to the rotation stage, the offensive burden is still on the "Big Three Nets".

The Lakers missed three shots on the court, and the Magic's defense was extremely extreme, giving Byron Scott and Brian Shaw a chance to shoot.

The Magic took the opportunity to score 2 goals in four attacks, scoring a 4-0, 70-71 to catch up to one point.

Kenny Anderson wants to do it himself, and he is under a lot of pressure. When the wing pitcher fails to make a shot, his way of breaking the score is easily limited, and his body disadvantage is too great.
