327. Rookie, the game has started! (7K ask for a monthly pass)(1/2)
Zhang Hao was a little helpless when he ran out... This introduction not only caused hatred from his opponent, but also had a fat man's nostrils wide and hot air...
But it sounds comfortable!
If you all shout out, then try your best to achieve it.
At this moment, Zhang Hao once again confirmed his truest thoughts - to become the best, become a big star, and become the most popular basketball player!
It was pitch black across the street and Jordan's expression could not be seen, so Zhang Hao felt a little regretful.
After the Lakers players entered the court, the lights of the whole game gradually turned on and returned to normal lighting. At this time, Jordan had already put away his anger and returned to his usual expression.
The entrance ceremony ended, and it was a very official greeting time. The first game of the new season, the competition between the opponents in the finals last season, so many stars were in the two teams, and the topic was so high... Greetings always had to be greeted. After all, the two teams were just grudges on the court, and the grudges of victory and defeat were not fights.
Jordan took the initiative to say to Zhang Hao: "Congratulations, Aix, for winning the first championship."
I was not as stingy as I lost the tiebreak last year. After losing the tiebreak last year, Jordan left without saying a word, which was because the negative emotions were already as uncontrollable as a nuclear bomb.
Leading 3-1 and being turned over, who can tell your opponent immediately?
Now, Jordan still hates the group of players on the other side, and is turned around 3-1. This hatred will never be forgotten in his life.
As for the fact that he defeated the opponent and won the championship in 1991, it was two different things. Winning first is not called winning.
He still has to maintain his demeanor and not let the other party laugh at him.
But what he said is very targeted.
Zhang Hao replied: "Thank you, Mr. Jordan. The first championship is wonderful. I hope it is not one, not two, not three."
Very direct and high-profile, pointing to Jordan's four championships.
Jordan shrugged without commenting, and went to say hello to the Lakers' championship winners and Lakers celebrities who came to watch today.
Jordan ignored other Lakers players on the court, including O'Neal.
O'Neal's strange emotions just emerged, and a gentleman came over to him.
"Shake, look, Jordan actually ignores you. You are the strongest center in history!"
O'Neal sounded comfortable, and it came out of Zhang Hao's mouth, which sounded even more comfortable... not right.
O'Neal said sourly: "You said that rookie is the strongest No. 1 pick a few days ago!"
"It's not what I said, it's written on the billboard."
“Yes…yes…”
O'Neal thought about it and found that he had never heard Zhang Hao praise other centers for being the strongest, and he always praised him alone.
Zhang Hao overshadowed Jordan's tricks and used them in turn. O'Neal's current dissatisfaction focused on Jordan who ignored him.
The rest of the Bulls didn't have such a good attitude towards the Lakers. They greeted each other like a scene and returned to the bench. What will happen next is a scene of old Bulls players hating and new players envying.
There is one very important thing for the Lakers’ new season opening game - awarding the championship ring.
Tonight, the Great Western Forum Hall is full of stars, local politicians, Hollywood stars, Grammy-level singers... One by one, Britney Spears, a contracted artist under Zhang Hao's entertainment company, showed his face among the big names. Many people in front of the TV have an impression of this sweet-looking girl.
Previously, the media also photographed Zhang Hao taking a little sister to go shopping for clothes. Later, Britney became a master of music industry leader Whitney Houston, which also attracted some attention. On the opening night of the Lakers' championship ring, Britney showed her face.
After Zhang Hao talked about Jordan and O'Neal, he also went to take a photo with Britney.
As the boss, Zhang Hao can only do so much.
Many superstars in the history of the Lakers have also come, and some other famous players who come to watch the lively, including Elgin Baylor, general manager of the Clippers team in the same city.
This reminded Jordan, who was going to greet, of the painful scene when the Magicians came back last season - the Lakers' celebrity group directly entered the court to guide the Lakers' game.
Fortunately, it is not as good as that time. The Lakers team at that time were new and strange. The Lakers team is already a mature team.
In the preparation stage a few days before the season began, Jordan watched the video of the Lakers' preseason that the team got back. He knew that the Lakers' running-in progress this year was very smooth... The pressure was really not small!
...
The championship ring was awarded and the championship flag was raised. The Bulls players returned to the bench to sit down and saw Barkley, Byron Scott, Magician, and Wilkins walk onto the court from the audience. The fans on the scene began to stand up and cheer, scream and applaud.
The first thing is to raise the championship flag, and every player of the Bulls stared at the flag raised by Lakers owner Jerry Bass himself.
The award of the championship ring was immediately followed. First, the magician who came to the scene with 5 championship rings today. Jerry Bass personally wore the sixth championship ring for him, and Byron Scott also won his fourth championship ring.
Barkley and Wilkins also won the championship ring they had always dreamed of. At this moment, retirement was a complete success.
The Lakers have 7 players left the team this summer, and all four retired veterans have arrived at the scene. The other three are now players of other teams. They will send them when they come to the Great Western Forum Arena to play, or when the Lakers go to their current team's home court to play, depending on the specific situation.
Immediately afterwards, the championship ring was awarded to the coaching team, followed by the championship ring represented by team doctors, logistics department representatives, security department representatives, etc.
Finally, there were eight players who stayed with the Lakers last season.
The winner of the championship last season, O'Neal was the first to wear his championship ring, followed by Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Jason Williams, Brian Shaw, Fisher, Ben Wallace...
Fisher and Ben Wallace...especially Ben Wallace, he took a championship ring while lying down. He played 29 times last season.
The last person who came forward to get the ring was Zhang Hao. The person who put the championship ring on him was not Lakers boss Jerry Bass, but the Magician...
At this moment, the cheers of the fans at the scene reached a boiling point, as if they were about to penetrate the ceiling above the stadium!
The camera is often given to Jordan with cold eyes. No need for commentators from major TV stations to say anything, fans in front of the TV can learn something from Jordan's eyes - tonight Jordan will do his best to cast a shadow on the glorious night of the Lakers!
The war is about to break out!
...
When Zhang Hao handed the championship ring to April Clark back to the bench, the system prompted him.
"On the night of glory, strong enemies are coming. The night when the special signing player Zhang Hao won the championship ring, you cannot leave regrets on the scene and in front of the TV, and you cannot leave regrets on yourself and your teammates. Mission: You must not trigger the night of losing."
"A night that you must not lose:
Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help his Lakers win the opening game of the regular season of the 1997-1998 season.
Reward: Double life of net score.
Punishment of failure: How many points will be lost? Special signing player Zhang Hao will have double shots in the subsequent games and enter a cold state. Even the control of the ball during dunk will be unexpected."
A task has come, and the goal of the task is so clean and neat, it is not troublesome at all, but it is easy to deal with, and it is just a punishment for failure...
Zhang Hao couldn't help looking at the second row opposite the technical desk, next to Yao Ming.
He must strive for victory, and there is no doubt that he has begun to understand why those superstars love to bully people so much.
There is no benefit to this kind of thing, it is just a pleasure!
However, unlike the previous superstar, what Zhang Hao wants to see is not only the pitiful and indignant appearance of rookies... He also wants to see the anger and unwillingness of those once powerful veterans after losing!
"Ron Harper, 80 ability evaluation; Robert Horry, 84 ability evaluation; Dennis Rodman, 81 ability evaluation; Luke Longley, 79 ability evaluation; Michael Jordan, 105 ability evaluation..."
While waiting for the championship ring, Zhang Hao had already read the opponent's detailed player detection report. Sure enough, Jordan's last year was no worse than the first two seasons he had just returned! I still found it amazing when I read it again.
He remembered that the strongest star in front of him basically led the team to 62 wins in 1997-98, tied for the highest victory with the Jazz, won the MVP, and supported the team alone in the playoffs. Pippen's attendance rate this season was so low that the Bulls' management and fans collapsed, and its efficiency reached the lowest since the 1990s.
He read a column in his previous life, analyzing why Jordan had a qualitative leap in the 1997-98 season, from just a few leading Magicians and Russell, becoming the first person in history in a staggered manner after a season. It was not just that he had an extra champion, but that he created a dynasty for the second time, but that he led the team to complete the dynasty achievements with his own strength.
Zhang Hao didn't know how much Pippen was left in the collapse of 32 years old in time and space. He could probably see when he played against the Spurs. Zhang Hao didn't know very well about the situation of the other Bulls in time and space.
But looking at Ron Harper, Rodman, Luke Longley, Jordan's helpers, there are actually still some helpers. Although they are only at the top downstream level, they can be said to have their own characteristics. Although Jordan's helpers are not as strong as those in the previous two years, they still have some foundation. It is just that other superstars lead this lineup and Jordan will lead such a lineup to win the championship.
In particular, Rodman surprised Zhang Hao. At the beginning of this season, Rodman, from body, spirit, and ability evaluation, can be said to be the best Rodman has since joined the Bulls.
Summer was not in vain and was trained by Jordan...
Robert Horry... Last season, he averaged 10.7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.4 blocks per game with the Nets. If the Lakers really win, Zhang Hao feels that his team's lineup will be perfect.
He remembered that in the original time and space, Rick Fox and Robert Horry's forward combination, with O'Neal at the basket, he defended the peak Duncan at the playoffs very much.
Unfortunately, it was stolen by the Bulls.
...
Both teams were actively doing the final preparations before the game. At 5:58 pm, the game was about to begin and the starters of the two teams came to the court.
The Lakers sent Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Zhang Hao and O'Neal to start.
The Bulls sent Ron Harper, Jordan, Robert Horry, Rodman and Luke Longley to start.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, under the gaze of everyone's attention, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air. O'Neal jumped high and won the jump ball from Luke Longley's head. The Lakers attacked first!
With skillful fast break cooperation at the start, Zhang Hao quickly got down and attracted defensive attention. O'Neal entered the basket and pushed the ball quickly backed up but was still moving. Luke Longley received a long pass from Kenny Anderson to smash the ball into the basket through Luke Longley!
This way of playing requires more fans and more fans. The fans on the scene cheered O'Neal crazily.
Yao Ming's eyes widened when he entered Inglewood High School and found that those 15 or 16-year-old geniuses were even better than the adult players of his national youth team. Fortunately, he just turned 17 and was invincible at Inglewood High School. The head coach praised him for not being worse than the number one center Tyson Chandler, the first high school student in the United States.
He also watched O'Neal's game on TV, but how could he see the impact strongly on the spot?
It's simply!
17-year-old Yao Ming truly understood what kind of people NBA players are.
"Is it possible for me to become such a player in the future?"
Yao Ming was frightened and looked forward to it again.
besides……
He looked at Zhang Hao who quickly retreated and returned to guard the side of the three-second zone. How strong should this king of Chinese basketball be able to beat O'Neal to win the finals MVP?
On the court, O'Neal's quick attack dunk showed his stronger and more brutal dominance than last season. Although his teammates were not as excited as Zhang Hao's wonderful dunk, he was also very excited and quickly retreated and defended in place.
During the offense and defense transition, the Bulls' pushback defender Ron Harper passed the ball to Jordan after he arrived in the frontcourt.
This surprised the Lakers. Robert Horry's ability to support the top arc is also excellent. In the preseason, the Zen master named Robert Horry and praised the Bulls general manager Jerry Klaus did a good job in this signing. Although he failed to win the most preferred Rick Fox, it was still OK.
When the Lakers were studying the Bulls' preseason performance in the preparation stage, they were also very afraid of Robert Horry's ability to respond.
But at the beginning, the Bulls played completely differently from the previous two seasons...
To be continued...
