Really don't care?

Maybe it is because his brother was traded to the team in Los Angeles?

Maybe it’s because I’m going to endure this kind of thing when I encounter it in the contract?

Who knows?

Brent Barry said this, and Zhang Hao believed it.

In addition to Zhang Hao, other teammates also took the initiative to communicate with Brent Barry after coming to the stadium. The grandfathers at home are all engaged in sports Brent Barry, who seems very professional, making his teammates calm down.

As for Robert Pike being traded away... no one cares about this.

I have been with the Lakers for a few months, and Robert Pike is like a stranger who doesn't want to enter, as if the whole world owes him.

Zhang Hao was fine at least and even went to tease O'Neal and complain about his teammates.

With the Bulls narrowly defeating the Heat 98-95 at home, the Pacers raging Madison Square Garden 106-85, the Jazz lost to the Supersonics 102-110 away, the Spurs defeated the Rockets 95-77, and the first four Christmas games were completed one after another. At 9 p.m. Los Angeles time, the Lakers' home game against the Celtics started.

At noon today, the Celtics just sent away three main players. No matter how bad Billups is, he is still the point guard of the Celtics. The 23-year-old Terrys Knight is also the Celtics' first substitute in the interior. Joe Smith will not be officially joined after the team's physical examination, which has a great impact on the Celtics.

For the two Lakers' deals, even if the two new players have not arrived, Piakoski took his son to San Diego for a trip and would not come back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and it would have no effect on his strength.

Originally, the gap in strength between the two teams was very big. The Lakers won 24 and 3 losses, and the Celtics lost 12 and 16 losses, which once again widened the gap in strength.

It is true that the Celtics are very excited and hard at playing the Lakers, especially since they haven't played the Christmas game for several years, they are very motivated, but the Lakers are the same. They are also very motivated to play the Celtics.

Relying on O'Neal's 27 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Zhang Hao's triple-double data of 24 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, Kenny Anderson 18 points, 3 assists, Jason Williams 7 points and 8 rebounds... The Lakers steadily defeated the Celtics 110-102, improving their record to 25 wins and 3 losses, and continuing to set a new team history start record!

Because the two players were gone, the two new players had not arrived yet, and the Lakers happened to have 12 players in the team. Everyone in the Christmas game of the Lakers had played for at least a few minutes. From the point difference, it can be seen that they were really wavering after leading, and the compactness of the defensive end was sometimes not...

But he won in the end.

After joining the Lakers, Zhang Hao faced the Celtics' six consecutive victories. The "old enemy" mission won a streak of +1. The affordable triple-double data of 10 rebounds and 10 assists was obtained, and he also obtained an additional 10 days of life. He spent this Christmas happily.

...

This year's Christmas battle seemed calm, mainly because the Warriors' suicide deal stole the limelight.

After this wave of operations, the Warriors basically lost all the talents accumulated over the past six or seven years, leaving behind an Eric Danpier...

Some media commented that the Warriors should want to play a lot more thoroughly, but the Warriors have become a little trapped in the vicious circle of reincarnation.

Constantly playing badly, getting high ranking rookies, there are too many geniuses, so many that they don’t know how to cultivate them, and they are in chaos. In the end, the rookie talent is wasted, and the rookie contract cannot be renewed when the rookie contract ends. They trade casually, and then continue to play badly...

The Warriors' trading journey is not over yet, and it seems that they are preparing to lower their strength to the extreme.

On December 26, the morning after the Christmas game, the Bulls saw that the Warriors were robbed and applied to trade two players, Dick Simpkins and David Vaughan, with Jason Cafe and the Warriors.

Jason Cafe is a short and strong forward swaying man, and is a good substitute, but his position overlaps with Robert Horry. He has no chance of playing this year and is expensive. It has a one-year contract of $2.7 million. If you want to say what the transaction value is... it may be the contract year.

Dick Simpkins, the Warriors signed him for three years and $3.6 million in the offseason, but the Bulls did not match the contract. In the middle of the season, the Bulls felt that it was still an old substitute, and wanted to trade it back, and by the way, the Warriors' substitute power forward, David Vaughan, who averaged 4.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

The Warriors agreed!

During the Sacred Boys Warriors' operations, the mid-season trading wave has begun.

The Lakers' logo men maintain the basic principles of the defending season, and the core structure is strengthened.

Don’t be the one with the most famous one. Famous basically means that you have to get a relatively high price to exchange it. As long as the team structure needs the most, it doesn’t even consider whether it is comprehensive or not, it’s enough to simply have that characteristic.

The team was thinking about how to turn valuable players into potential stocks or send high-paying players away. The strong teams were all trying to make up for it. The rumors of trading in the middle of the season became increasingly surging. After the logo man made a small move, he stopped and did not take any action...

...

...

After 6 consecutive away games, the Lakers started a five-game winning streak from the Christmas game.

After the Christmas game, the Lakers got two days off, no training was arranged on the 26th, and the next two games started to prepare for the next two very relaxed home games.

The Lakers played back-to-back against the Clippers and Kings at home. According to last season's record and offseason expectations, the Clippers and Kings are both playoff edge teams and have the ability to compete in the playoffs. In that case, the back-to-back is not that easy to play.

But now, except for the top eight, other teams in the West have begun to play badly.

At noon on the 26th, the NBA officially announced that the 1998 Cleveland All-Star voting began!

On the Lakers, Boggs and Eric Piakowski came to Time Warner Training Hall to report.

In the morning, Zhang Hao took the little loli, April Clark and Britney to go shopping for clothes. A few days later, on January 1 of the new year, the first Starbucks in China in Beijing was about to open a store. Howard Schultz and his wife went to Beijing to clear their relationships and give gifts. The little loli stayed at Zhang Hao's house on Christmas... In the words of the little loli, this is her house, and if she doesn't let her live, the rent will increase.

At noon, after lunch, we received news that two new teammates came to the training hall. Zhang Hao brought three girls to the training hall and met the two new teammates.

"Eric Piakowski, 27 years old, 201 cm, 98 kg, ability evaluation 63, offense 72, defense 57, three-pointers 88, mid-range shot 65, layup 82, speed 85, strength 89, bounce 57, physical strength 87... Average 12 minutes per game, average 6 points, 1.6 rebounds 0.8 assists 0.5 steals... shooting percentage 45%, three-point shooting percentage 42.5%..."

"Tini Boggs, 33 years old, 160 cm, 65 kg, ability evaluation 73, offense 80, defense 55...speed 94... averaged 25 minutes per game, 6.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals..."

When he arrived at the training ground, he saw two new players undergoing health checks. Zhang Hao looked at their ability evaluations... It turned out to be two very distinctive players.

Boggs is very familiar with him. He is 160 cm tall and has the strength to be the first substitute on the back of the weak team in his 11th season of his career. Piakowski, Zhang Hao, had no impression of him when he played against the Clippers, but he really remembers this new teammate Yao Ming's teammate in time and space.

He still remembers that at that time, Piakowski was hyped by the imperial court and became the number one pitcher in the league... Of course, fixed-point shooting is good, but only this advantage, and the others are all disadvantages.

If it were the Rockets' strength in the original time and space, Piakowski... obviously wasn't a powerful signing, it would be nice if he didn't drag him down.

The two of them do not need to assume the responsibility of the main force, as long as the two make contributions at a specific moment, in this way, the strength of the two is enough for the Lakers.

Thinking of another good pitcher on the wing, a very distinctive point guard who made up for the point guard, and was also a veteran with great experience, Zhang Hao felt happy.

A small reinforcement is also a reinforcement.

...

Zhang Hao chatted with the three girls in the lounge, waiting patiently for the two new teammates to have a physical examination.

At 1 pm, Boggs and Piakoski finished their physical examination. After completing the joining process with the help of their respective agents, they learned that Zhang Hao was waiting for them in the lounge, and both of them felt honored!

That legendary super star who is arrogant, domineering, indifferent... is not very sensible, actually waits for them to be the new teammates at the end of the team's bench!

Boggs had played against Zhang Hao before Zhang Hao officially started his rookie season. In the preseason of the 1995-96 season, Zhang Hao was young at that time, but he had already shown outstanding talent and indifference as if he was despised everything.

Piakowski is not familiar with Zhang Hao, but he has a deeper impression of Zhang Hao than Boggs. After all, he plays in Los Angeles, and you can see news and advertisements about Zhang Hao at any time...

The two of them tidied up their clothes and hurried to the lounge.

When Zhang Hao saw the two of them, he stood up with the three girls.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Boggs, Mr. Piakowski." Zhang Hao took the initiative to say hello.

"Aix, I didn't expect me to be your teammate. I was so lucky." Boggs shook hands with Zhang Hao excitedly.

Boggs is telling the truth. He has been in his 11th year of his career. He spent his best nine years with the Hornets and was sold to the Warriors. He felt that his career was about to fade away in a daze. He spent a difficult third season with the Warriors. Suddenly, the peak turned around and came to the defending champion Lakers who started with 25 wins and 3 losses. How could he not be excited?

But there was a problem, Boggs looked around...

Zhang Hao and Piakowski are more than two meters away.

April Clark, a big man of 1.8 meters, actually learned drama well, but because she was not very easy to match the actors, she gave up herself.

Britney, 163, shoelace heels…

Boggs felt deep malice, except for the little loli in elementary school, he was taller than him!

Maybe this child is taller than him when he grows up!

Compared to Boggs, Piakosky was much calmer: "oh, Aix, I entered the NBA only one year earlier than you. You call me sir, I thought it was five years after we entered the NBA."

"I'm 21 next month, you're 27 years old, more than 6 years."

Zhang Hao answered very seriously, and was telling the truth. Piakowski felt that his heart had been stabbed...

However, these heartbreaking words made the two new players feel that Zhang Hao is not a teammate who is difficult to get along with, and the pressure is much less.

Just like Rick Fox, Brent Barry and others who joined the Lakers in the offseason were worried that it would be very stressful to come to the Lakers and Zhang Hao to be teammates. Although the two were excited at the beginning, Boggs wanted to win the championship, Piacous basically came to be a substitute and didn't have to change to the city to play for fans. More Lakers were excited, but they were also worried that they would meet a boss like Jordan, and Zhang Hao looked like that in the outside world.

When I first met as a teammate, I found that it seemed quite good.

Just love telling the truth too much, heart-wrenching truth...

...

After meeting the two new teammates, they separated without much greeting and went home.

Piakowski is fine. He originally lived in southern Los Angeles. He drove to Inglewood Town and said that it was not far away. He went out early and the traffic jam was not serious in an hour.

Boggs moved from Auckland, his luggage is still in the car, and he still has to find a place to live.

Zhang Hao took the three girls home and started a three-point training that extended the distance.

After this back-to-back, next month, the era of the new three-point line is now, so you have to hurry up.

Pierce, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming's team of friends went out to wander around again.

Yao Ming finally had a friend to take him to play with him, and he was very excited. After all, he turned 17 in September, and he was still a child's mentality.

Zhang Hao learned from Jason Hart, a junior at Inglewood High School, that Yao Ming would probably have to continue playing for one year after he turned 18 and could only go to college at the age of 19.

However, Yao Ming has attracted the attention of UCLA, USC and other universities because of Zhang Hao's performance in the NBA and Wang Zhizhi in the NCAA. So far, Yao Ming has played 4 games for Inglewood High School, averaging 23 minutes per game, scoring 17 points, 14.5 rebounds, 1 assist, 4.5 blocks.

Compared with Zhang Hao, Yao Ming's journey to joining college in the future will definitely be much smoother.

A day off has passed, and on the 28th, the Lakers' new lineup will be gathered.

With the addition of two new teammates, some Lakers players felt pressure, such as pitchers and substitute point guard Fisher.

It can be clearly seen that the Silver Fox attaches great importance to wing pitchers, and the new arrival of Piakowski is very good at this.

The Silver Fox has always wanted a sharper substitute point guard. Boggs has been playing for more than ten years and is very famous in the player circle. His two new teammates are not very strong, but they are the players that the Silver Fox wants.

Only with pressure can there be motivation. This is not a bad thing for core players such as Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, and O'Neal.
