But no one blames him, not even O'Neal, who hasn't had time to slap?

But Zhang Hao felt embarrassed and sweared in his heart that if he didn't have to do that, he wouldn't play cross-steps against opponents without speed advantage in the future.

There are so many tricks that can be used, there is no need.

As for the fact that you will get revenge... how big a thing is.

There is a mission goal that must be broken through Iverson, but the other party is ready. It is obviously not a good opportunity just now, so you have to wait for a better opportunity to appear.

Kenny Anderson's trust, O'Neal's cooperation, and the other party's wrong judgment, Zhang Hao calmed down and did not collapse.

Zhang Hao has such a strong self-regulation ability, and the 76ers players feel very sorry and think they can take the opportunity to counterattack.

When the 76ers attacked and fell into the positional battle, Duncan showed his power. After receiving the ball, he turned around and shot from close range before Zhang Hao was shot in place!

How terrible is Duncan's stability?

You know that he basically scored two goals through singles in every quarter, and he could probably predict when he would play singles. Generally, players other than Iverson need to make singles to ensure scoring, but at this time he can maintain a high shooting percentage.

When the Lakers attacked, the 76ers did not give Kenny Anderson a chance to score in singles. Kenny Anderson could see from the opponent's defense that unless he made a strong shot like Iverson or Duncan, someone would make up for his move.

Without a choice to come, Kenny Anderson continued to launch a team attack.

Zhang Hao continued to slip through the baseline, and the 76ers' defense changed. Duncan no longer switched defense with Campbell, but went online. Jim Jackson made up from the wing to Zhang Hao and did not give Zhang Hao a chance to catch the ball. Duncan went to attack Kenny Anderson, but Kenny Anderson still passed the ball. Piakowski received the ball from the left sideline and made an open three-pointer...

If I couldn't make up for it, Iverson rushed up as soon as possible. It would be better to be scared. Some players with poor psychological quality would subconsciously speed up their shooting speed and lose their stability when they were yelled from afar.

Both teams' attention was on this ball. In the second half of the first quarter, Fisher's three-pointer from the wing was not accurate, which was an important reason why the 76ers were able to keep the score tight when Coleman was so pitiful. This is the defense, put the secondary scorer and try to block the key scorer.

O'Neal and Jason Williams are both preparing to rob, while Duncan and Campbell are ready to protect defensive rebounds.

This time, Silver Fox's pitcher choice was very correct. Piakowski made his first move and made a three-pointer!

The benefits of hoarding shooters are reflected. When Rick Fox's top arc shot can no longer open up space, Fisher's wing shot is inaccurate, Doug Christie and Brent Barry are average in efficiency, and Piakowski can use it!

If Piakowski is not accurate in the shooting and Duncan and Campbell play together, the Lakers' offense will fall into a stage where they rely solely on the personal abilities of the stars. They can still play, but the game will become much more difficult.

This is what the 76ers want, and the Lakers don't want to play like this.

But when Piakowski entered, it was the 76ers' turn to have a headache.

The 76ers once again fell into a difficult journey to chase points.

Zhang Hao is the target of key defense. Zhang Hao scored 14 points in the first quarter in the first quarter. With Zhang Hao's decisive shooting, he shot at mid-range... So, Kenny Anderson's shot and O'Neal's chance to pick up the basket!

Fortunately, Duncan scored 4 points and 1 assist in the second half of the second quarter, and Iverson scored 6 points and 2 assists. The two led the 76ers to score 15 points in the second half of the second quarter, and they were already widened to the 11-point gap halfway through the second quarter. They relied on a 15-11 wave in the next five minutes to narrow the gap to 7 points, so that they would not enter the second half with a double-digit gap.

After halftime, the Lakers led the 76ers 53-46 7 points into the midfield.

Zhang Hao scored 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 block in the second quarter. After 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, he performed very well. The only regret was that he failed to break through 20 points in the first half.

Fortunately, the mission goal scored once in the cross-step breakthrough in each quarter. After George Lynch was replaced in the second half of the second quarter, Zhang Hao made a strong breakthrough from the outside when he needed a single, which also caused Duncan to make a backup defense foul and free throw, scoring the second goal of the game in this quarter. It was precisely because of his single breakthrough of 2+1 at this necessary moment that the Lakers were not completely narrowed by the 76ers' impact in the second half of the second quarter.

The Lakers feel a lot of pressure on Larry Brown’s defensive adjustment!

In the second half of the second quarter, they scored 8 points in a regular score. Zhang Hao made a foul after making a breakthrough and hit three shots. Obviously not a regular score. The 76ers' defensive adjustments are getting better and better. He is currently using it very well for his opponent's top arc and high-level shooting.

The Lakers feel that Larry Brown’s defensive adjustment ability is very stressed, but in fact, the 76ers are more pressured!

Just as Lakers players and coaches think, the 76ers players and coaches themselves also feel that their defense adjustments are very good, but they are already one of the teams in the league to adapt to the new three-point line, but the opponent's adjustments are better than them!

Iverson scored 17 points and 4 assists in the first half, and Duncan scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in the first half, so he could no longer do better.

However, Zhang Hao on the Lakers scored 19 points, O'Neal scored 11 points and 5 rebounds, Kenny Anderson scored 9 points and 2 assists, Jason Williams played 14 minutes in the first half and scored 6 rebounds... This is simply!

In the game between the Lakers and the Hawks, some players from the 76ers who had already arrived in Los Angeles and Larry Brown went to a corner of the scene to watch the game. It was obvious that the Lakers were not well prepared at that time because the Lakers were preparing in advance from the offensive end. It can be seen that the Lakers were well prepared, but they did not do well on the first day.

Just two days later, the Lakers' progress made Larry Brown, Iverson, Duncan, George Lynch and others feel incredible!

This is inseparable from Zhang Hao's contribution in the preparation stage and his adjustments in defense tonight!

O'Neal's return to good condition is also very important. Although he missed the ball when he jumped, what O'Neal is very strong is that as long as his weight does not increase so much that it is difficult to adapt to it for a short period of time. If he is missing for more than ten days or even for a few months, his condition will not fluctuate significantly.

Taking advantage of these conditions, Zhang Hao led the Lakers to a clear advantage!

This is a real blow to the 76ers team, who came to the Great Western Forum Arena with sufficient confidence.

If their 76ers perform poorly and are steadily suppressed by the Lakers, it's okay.

But they performed so well, but the Lakers played better than them in their previous game with such an ordinary performance. The 76ers players were really hit.

...

The Lakers felt the pressure from Larry Brown, the defensive master. The 76ers felt that they were hit, and the psychological conditions on both sides were completely different.

As the season deepened, Duncan further branded his mark on the team - stability.

Iverson, who was second-year, has the strength that can be compared with Kenny Anderson at his peak, but the basic strength led by Duncan is too strong and too arrogant. Iverson is currently only part of the strength of the 76ers led by Duncan, and cannot play a role in raising the upper limit of strength.

The current difference between the two top scorers and the head horse combination is very obvious.

In the Rent Horse combination, Zhang Hao and O'Neal are in cooperation and achieve each other.

As for the two No. 1 picks, although Duncan entered the NBA one year later and was 10 months younger than Iverson, Duncan is more mature than Iverson in terms of strength and psychology. The team is Iverson's team, Duncan will not compete with Iverson, but in fact, Duncan is taking Iverson to play. Without Duncan, even if the 76ers chose Van Horn, the second strongest combat power in the 1997th class, Jerry Starkhouse, staying with the team, the 76ers probably have to continue to compete for the high pick.

It is because of Duncan that the strength of Iverson, George Lynch, Jim Jackson, Campbell, Mark Davis, etc. is a rope. With Larry Brown's defensive guidance, the 76ers have the strength to reach the top in the Eastern Conference.

True-core, the role of cornerstone players is stronger than simply looking at data.

The stable strength led by Duncan is still very strong. The Lakers were unable to widen the gap in the second half, and the game was quite difficult, but they finally held on.

Larry Brown did not drag his legs in the second half. As long as he didn't throw three points on the offensive end, he wouldn't care. It would be better to ignore it. Snow, Iverson, Duncan, and Aaron McGee are all leaders who have good self-adjustment ability. They are all better than him. He is responsible for defensive adjustments and player rotations, and he did not replace Coleman with 4 games. He gave up and applied for a deal from the management. Taking advantage of the average performance of 18+8+3 per game last season, the transaction value is still there, and the expiration contract players have certain strength, which should still be attractive to some teams that want to play badly and sell tickets.

Although the 76ers tried to counterattack many times in the second half, the Lakers adjusted properly. Zhang Hao suddenly made a three-pointer from the top arc in the third quarter. Compared with the previous game, this game was obviously much better for the three-point line that was no longer short.

At the last moment of the third quarter, the 76ers launched a counterattack again, trying to narrow the gap that was gradually widened by the Lakers. Duncan made a tip-in, Iverson broke through and was knocked away by the basket, but still threw the ball into the basket 2+1, successfully helping the 76ers narrow the gap to 8 points, but then O'Neal made a brutal one-to-two throw shot. Then O'Neal took the ball and forced the 76ers to shrink the defense, and switched defense at a high speed. Zhang Hao received the ball and got rid of Aaron McGee, who made it out, and broke into the inside and threw a high throw and hit the board.

After being beaten 5-0, the Lakers continued 4-0. After three quarters, the Lakers led the 76ers 77-65 12 points into the final quarter!

At the beginning of the last quarter, both teams scored two goals in a row, and the score was 81-69. The 76ers attacked again. Seeing that the time was getting less and less, Iverson began to play in the life mode, breaking through the basket, trying to cause a foul or score. But this time, Zhang Hao and O'Neal cooperated tacitly, and O'Neal held back, without rashly reaching out or pressing people, just blocking him. He lost the opportunity to block the block, but Zhang Hao, who quickly moved from the left bottom line, grabbed Iverson's throw directly with one palm!

Zhang Hao almost failed to stand firm when he landed with the cover and robbery. Iverson felt like he was about to explode when he was blocked, but he still retreated immediately. Zhang Hao passed the ball to Kenny Anderson to launch a fast break with all his strength. Without the restraint of dribbling, Zhang Hao crossed all his teammates and "single" triggered, quickly surpassing other 76ers players except Iverson in the middle line.

After passing the middle circle, Zhang Hao received a return pass from Kenny Anderson and encountered Iverson's robbery in the top arc.

This time, Zhang Hao judged the right time. When Iverson was rushing to grab the ball, he lowered his center of gravity and pressed his hand down in advance. He took the bounced ball faster. The ball passed through Zhang Hao's left leg to the front right. Zhang Hao received the ball with his right hand, blocking Iverson, and not giving the opponent a chance to steal, break through!

This time, Iverson failed to block Zhang Hao's breakthrough, and after Zhang Hao passed Iverson, he "single" full power triggered! Iverson, who was passed, turned around and wanted to stick it up to interfere. Zhang Hao broke into the inside toaxe-like cracking and smashed the ball into the basket.

83 to 69, the score difference reached 14 points!

The 76ers, who won the jump ball at the beginning, attacked first in the final quarter, but the Lakers continued to widen the gap from the beginning, and Zhang Hao's breakthrough just now.

The crisp dunk sounded like a death knell of the 76ers.

The psychological blow was too big. Iverson scored by his opponent by crossing and changing directions, or was overtaken by an inside player of similar height to Duncan, which was slapped Iverson in the face...

Iverson is not the kind of person who gives up when he is hit, and Duncan will not be hit because he is behind for more than ten points. Iverson is still actively trying to turn the tables, and Duncan is still steady, but in the next time, the 76ers were unable to narrow the gap to single digits again until the final whistle sounded...

In the end, Zhang Hao made 11 of 24 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 7 free throws, 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, O'Neal's 19 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, Kenny Anderson's 16 points, 7 assists, Jason Williams' 7 points and 10 rebounds... The Lakers steadily defeated the 76ers 103-90, improving their record to 28 wins and 4 losses!

Iverson scored 31 points, 7 assists and 3 steals, Duncan scored 26 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks, and the performance of the two was no longer better.

They themselves can also feel that their defensive adjustment has been done well, but! The Lakers' defensive response is also done well.

The key at this time is the adjustment of the offensive end.

While the Lakers are adjusting properly on the defensive end, their offensive end is also top-notch, and their 76ers...

At this time, an idea appeared in Iverson's heart, a poem could describe it - I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the sun.
Chapter completed!
