Two social influences that may have a huge impact on the alliance structure cannot prevent the passage of time.

The affairs of other teams are always the affairs of other teams, so the Lakers are just watching the fun.

That's... Why does Zhang Hao feel that his coach has been secretly glanced at him from time to time today?

It doesn't matter anymore, it may be that menopause has arrived.

At 6:40 pm, Zhang Hao was the last to enter the stadium, and his team status was already tightly grasped.

After the start of 17 wins and 1 loss, O'Neal felt more and more importantly Zhang Hao to him. Anyway, he is now tolerant. The second one is the second one. If he has the chance to compete for MVP, the eldest one is not snatched. How happy it is.

"David Robinson, cm, 115 kg, ability evaluation 94, offense 97, defense 90... Average playing time of 35 minutes, 23.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.8 blocks..."

"Scott centimeters, 95 kg, ability evaluation 89, offense 86, defense 92... Average playing time of 37.5 minutes, 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals..."

"Shaan Elliott, cm, 90 kg, ability evaluation 84, offense 88, defense 76... Average playing time of 29 minutes, 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists..."

"Avery Johnson, cm, 79 kg, ability evaluation 82, offense 78, defense 85... Average 36 minutes per game, 12.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.3 steals..."

First, I looked at the ability evaluation of the opponent's strongest player. Zhang Hao felt that the Spurs' operations in the 1996 playoffs were really too slutty, and he reimbursed the general at the peak of his 30s for one year.

However, David Robinson's physical fitness is also great. Fortunately for that major injury was not a structural injury. After a year of rest, he still had the top-level upstream strength as the season deepened.

But in fact, it also fell sharply. David Robinson was the first regular season center in the first round of MVP.

The Spurs have played 20 games so far, with 13 wins and 7 losses, ranking fifth in the West. It is quite good, surpassing the Trail Blazers and Suns, which are 12 wins and 8 losses, and are behind the Lakers, Jazz, Supersonics and Timberwolves.

As the season deepened, David Robinson, Sean Elliott, Pippen's three all-star players, as well as main players such as Avery Johnson, Winnie Negro, Monty Williams, Jaren Jackson, Chuck Person, and Viagra Peldo also performed well, and the running-in was smooth.

If you want to talk about Spurs fans, the media has any dissatisfaction with the Spurs so far this season, only Pippen's performance has not met expectations.

It was okay at the beginning, and it can be said that it has not been integrated into the Spurs' defense + positional combat style. Now that the season has passed, everyone's condition can basically be seen.

Pippen proved one more thing. Even if he left Jordan, he was not a top scorer. If he left Jordan this time, he would not even be able to average 20+ per game.

But overall, the defense is still very good.

Popovich, the new coach, has served as assistant coaches under the two famous coaches of the league's defensive achievements before they go crazy, and Larry Brown, who is currently in the league's defensive level. The Spurs have made excellent defenses around the three core players.

Average of 94.4 points per game and 90.6 points per game... After entering late November, the Spurs have become one of the teams their opponents do not want to meet.

After reading the opponent's player detection report, it was basically consistent with the scout report. Zhang Hao paid attention to the specific details of the Spurs players' ability evaluation to analyze some details of the opponent's players' playing style.

What is clear is that many people are still looking forward to Pippen's performance. What Zhang Hao saw is that Pippen has clearly declined in a cliff-like manner, no longer a top star, but an All-Star level. Whether he can enter the All-Star depends on his record.

But surely, when the Spurs did not get the No. 1 pick and no vision to choose McGrady, if they choose Van Horn or Ron Mersel, it is indeed a huge deal to exchange the No. 3 pick for Pippen.

It is the 88 million USD contract starting next season...

Anyway, this year, the Spurs may still become the playoff disruptor. Popovich coaches to fight hard to defend. In the playoffs, it is more difficult to deal with than Popo Hill's coaching period.

...

During the pre-match preparation stage, O'Neal ran to David Robinson to show off his championship ring.

Does anyone play a game to bring the championship ring to the court?

O'Neal is.

David Robinson said angrily: "If I had Shi Buddha as my teammate, I could win the championship."

O'Neal said with his neck tilted, "I'm sorry, you don't."

David Robinson swallowed. He knew O'Neal was quite thick-skinned. Even if the relationship was not good, he had known each other for so many years. However, he didn't expect that O'Neal could become even more shameless after more than a year in the Lakers.

After getting angry with David Robinson, O'Neal felt refreshed.

And David Robinson's words really stimulated O'Neal... He will lead the team to win this year!

Soon, at 7 pm, the Lakers' second home back-to-back game against the Spurs began.

Lakers: Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Rick Fox, Zhang Hao, O'Neal.

Spurs: Avery Johnson, Sean Elliott, Pippen, Vir Peldo, David Robinson.

The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air. O'Neal, who was fully focused, beat David Robinson to win the jump ball.

Originally, David Robinson's bounce speed was slightly better than O'Neal, but now, O'Neal is obviously better.

David Robinson retreated as soon as possible after landing, trying to stop O'Neal from getting off the ground. Ville Peldo retreated directly to the basket, Pippen went to the three-point line to intercept Zhang Hao, and the Spurs tried to use double towers + Pippen to stop Zhang Hao and O'Neal from starting fast break.

But O'Neal didn't get off the ground at all, and slowly ran to the frontcourt, receiving a pass from Kenny Anderson, and the left front of the basket...

Zhang Hao pushed Pippen, blocked by the free throw line, rushed straight to the basket, jumping on the left side of the three-second zone. Vier Peldo had already expanded when O'Neal was lobing, but he was still a beat slower. Zhang Hao took off and pressed Vier Peldo to touch the ball. The two of them seemed to have stopped in the air, and Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket!

As a 213 cm, 109 kg white center, Vier Peldo has many advantages, has certain shooting ability, is simple and positive in playing style, passes, steals, and blocks, and assists in defense and makes it very good to defend and defend...

He is Zen master's favorite inside player during the Bulls' three consecutive championships.

The disadvantages are also obvious.

The physical fitness is not good, the tonnage is insufficient, and the ability to protect the basket by one person.

However, this ball is mainly O'Neal's pass. If O'Neal passed the ball directly instead of an empty call, Zhang Hao might have been blocked by Vir Peldo and was hit by Pippen who caught up.

After studying how to defend the Lakers' fast break at the start, O'Neal easily resolved it, and the Spurs had no choice.

The Spurs attacked, Avery Johnson advanced to the frontcourt, and David Robinson picked and rolled, Zhang Hao expanded to defend against pick and roll, and the defense was better than O'Neal's pick and roll defense, but that was the case, Rick Fox's supplementary defense played an important role.

Pippen took the opportunity to run and received a pass from Avery Johnson. He immediately encountered Doug Christie to make up for defense. Pippen's pass without stopping the ball. Sean Elliott ran to the bottom line and received the ball, and missed the jump shot from the middle distance...

O'Neal struggled to protect the defensive rebound after David Robinson rushing.

The Spurs did a good job in the positional battle offensive passes, the team cooperated well, and the turnover rate was also low. This time the pass cooperated to create an open shooting opportunity, and cooperated well, but Zhang Hao just did a very good job of intercepting the cross-pass. Without being able to make up for the defense against Sean Elliott, he chose to intercept Sean Elliott's pass and reception line to catch the ball from the bottom corner from the left, allowing Sean Elliott to go to the middle distance of the baseline to receive the ball. This position is one of the most inaccurate areas of Sean Elliott, a former All-Star pitcher, and Zhang Hao took advantage of it.

Some progress cannot be seen from data, or even from live broadcast or live viewing, but it has a great effect. As he enters the third season of his career, Zhang Hao has made significant progress in this regard.

The Spurs retreated quickly. Vial Peldo retreated when Sean Elliott took action, leaving David Robinson to snatch it. David Robinson's physical fitness is still excellent.

Kenny Anderson received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt and fell into the positional battle.

O'Neal was stuck at David Robinson at the basket, and he clearly felt that David Robinson had returned from his reimbursement for a year and his strength had increased.

David Robinson's tonnage and static power have been improved, just to deal with O'Neal. However, compared with the 1995-96 season, the strength gap between the two has basically not changed, because O'Neal has also improved.

Kenny Anderson faced Avery Johnson's pressing defense to protect the ball. Under the basket, O'Neal received the ball, singles, Pippen went to the pinch, the Spurs switched defense to start, O'Neal passed the ball, Zhang Hao ran back around Rick Fox, Rick Fox blocked Vir Peldo, Zhang Hao cut into and received the ball, and flew onto the layup.

David Robinson had no choice but to do this ball. Zhang Hao ran back and cut in without encountering an opposition obstacle. O'Neal passed quickly, and his strong ability to protect the frame was useless. When O'Neal passed the ball, Zhang Hao had already reached the right side of the three-second zone.

In other words, O'Neal didn't plan to play singles at all for this ball, but was ready to pass the ball to Zhang Hao from the beginning!

The Jazz, Heat, and 76ers have played. O'Neal was beaten three games. How could he not make any progress? During that period, he played a team with powerful double towers every three days in 9 days, and there were two other teams in the middle, so he naturally didn't have time to make careful adjustments. It has been 10 days since he played against the 76ers. He had already figured out how to deal with the double towers.

A simple space power forward is useless, a pure three-point power forward or a catch-and-shoot power forward. When encountering a strong defensive team, the opponent can use the round to switch defense and make up for it. However, there is no need for power forward to help when playing against a weak team. When encountering this type of team, O'Neal admitted that his data performance is a little worse, so he can feed the ball to Zhang Hao!

Being able to shoot mid-range and long shots and being able to cut into the attacking box is the key to having good position movement ability and good brain... While thinking about this period, the best partner that O'Neal thought of in his mind... is Michael Jordan...

Without Jordan and Zhang Hao, he would just use it.

I was tired of playing against the Cavaliers yesterday and lost. At this afternoon's tactical meeting, O'Neal proposed to increase his role in supporting him. Silver Fox analyzed it and thought it was reliable and agreed.

I tried it and the effect was quite good. O'Neal assisted two at the start!

The Lakers took the initiative in the first round of 4-0.

When the Spurs attacked, Avery Johnson passed the ball to Pippen, who faced Rick Fox and chose to play singles.

Although he was very happy to leave the Bulls and got a big contract of 88 million, he was very unhappy about the Bulls wanting to introduce Rick Fox to replace him.

But this time Pippen was obviously impulsive, with a strong breakthrough and two-pointer jump shot, Rick Fox interfered, and Pippen was two-pointer!

Zhang Hao grabbed a defensive rebound, and a beautiful dribble from behind avoided David Robinson's steal, protected it and passed it to Kenny Anderson.

Pippen's defensive regression is not as big as the offensive end because he has strong defense predictions and solid basic skills. His teammates have good defense, but the decline in athletic ability caused by back injury, age, etc. has a great impact on his offensive end! Especially without his teammates with super restrained power like Jordan on the outside, his offensive performance is cliff-like.

His offensive skills are very comprehensive and his level is on the verge of first-class level. He is not bad, but he still relies more on his athletic ability.

Kenny Anderson advanced to the frontcourt, and David Robinson began to defend O'Neal like Olajuwon. O'Neal keenly noticed David Robinson's defensive intentions, and the opponent wanted to cut the ball the moment he received the ball.

Not many people can do this, even fewer centers in their 30s, but David Robinson has that condition.

O'Neal simply didn't want the ball. Zhang Hao pulled it out of the inside line and came to the left of the three-second zone to ask for the ball. When Kenny Anderson passed the ball, Zhang Hao received the ball and took a step out of the top arc, avoiding Pippen's sticking defense, jumped, and pushed the shot three-pointer...

Generally speaking, a three-pointer shot will be half the sole of the three-pointer line. Zhang Hao took the ball and took it away and was seventy or eighty centimeters across the three-pointer line. At this position, Pippen thought Zhang Hao was going to play a change of direction and breakthrough, but he didn't expect Zhang Hao to shoot directly!

"Clang"

It's iron!

O'Neal was at the rebounding point, pressing heavily, and hitting a tip-in!

Zhang Hao did not make a move, but Pippen's shock did not diminish. Looking at Zhang Hao who was retreating, it felt incredible!

It is very obvious that the distance between Zhang Hao’s three-pointer just now is almost the distance between the original three-point line in the top arc area that will be restored on the 1st of next month!

The NBA just announced that it would change, and they started practicing!
Chapter completed!
