The popularity of Zhang Hao and O'Neal's wealth comparison has not faded yet. It is estimated that it will last for a few days, but neither of them has focused on this matter anymore.

It is impossible to say that Zhang Hao spent 10 million US dollars to show off his wealth, and O'Neal would spend 20 million to show off his wealth. He saw that Zhang Hao might even make some money in the end...

Moreover, he just wanted to take advantage of the two-day holiday on Zhang Hao's birthday to show off. More importantly, he tried to get a better record and win the MVP!

In the 6 games in the middle of this month, they cannot waste every game. They must adjust and accumulate experience, because the next 7 games this month are the devil-level schedule. Including the first day of February, it can be called a nightmare schedule.

Although these 7 games are not compact and there is not even back-to-back, the opponents... Jazz, Suns, Supersonics, 3 consecutive away games, Heat, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, 3 consecutive home games, ended on the half-time of February 2, away games against the Bulls, these 7 consecutive games, a nightmare schedule!

Including the very tossing Hawks, the 76ers and the lost games against the Hornets, this month plus the first game in February, there are a total of 15 games, and 9 of them are very strong.

There are still 4 games left for adjustment, all of which are home games. Each game needs to be adjusted and played well, and there is no time to do anything else.

On the second day after playing against the Hornets, Zhang Hao analyzed and guided the class, and the Lakers learned more clearly and clearly the tactical details of the Hornets' play from the coaching staff to the players.

Hornets coach Dave Coins, was selected as All-Star 7 times, All-Star starter 4 times, 1 MVP, two championships, and retired with the Celtics... He did a good job in coaching. He played under Don Nelson for a year and worked as an assistant coach for 7 years. He happened to experience the first run and kick-off of the Bucks and Warriors in the old Nelson era, and was very happy to accept the three-point line.

The power forward serves at the free throw line. The Warriors used to have Chris Webber, the Bucks used to have Terry Kamkin, and the old Nelson coached. Both teams averaged 110+ points per game and even scored 115+ points.

The Hornets are not so unrestrained and attach great importance to defense. After all, Dave Coins was a Celtic player in the 1970s and focused on defense.

Originally, with Boggs being traded and Ricky Pierce retiring, Glen Rice declined from his average of 26.8 points per game last season. The Hornets have fallen out of the 50-win level. Now the three-point line is extended, making the Hornets play the same feeling as last season again.

Clifford Robinson and Anthony Mason Jr. have made great contributions. In the past 4 games, Clifford Robinson averaged 4.5 assists per game, and Anthony Mason Jr. has the highest average of 5.5 assists per game in the Hornets...

...

After a day of preparation, on January 11, the Lakers ushered in the Bucks' challenge at home.

The Bucks traded away last summer, Wen Baker and rookie Danny Fordson, and were about to return four powerful players, Trier Brandon, Elvin Johnson, Teeron Hill, and Almond Gilliam. With Glen Robinson often on the quit due to injuries, the Bucks' record soared. They have played 36 games, 17 wins and 19 losses, maintaining the possibility of a playoff run.

Glen Robinson has worked harder this year, and has hurt himself... According to a gossip media that is not so reliable, but this time the report is believed by many people, Glen Robinson's friend revealed that it is because the Bucks will not have players with higher salaries than him, so he played harder.

It's such a weird reason, he doesn't want to write - Baker's salary is higher than that of him...

What is his performance of hard work? From getting off work with 20 points in each game before, to now wanting to get off work with 25 points in each game, but he has a very talented talent, but he doesn't work hard, and the limit of strength he has is only getting over 20 points in each game. Now he is very hardworking to get 25 points every day, but he will have to average 23 points per game, but he still has a high contribution to the Bucks' strength.

The Bucks' second best player at present is Ray Allen, who averages 19.5 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.5 steals per game, but he is very low-key, and there is really no media coverage about him.

This shows why he will have a collapse with the Celtics in the future. He doesn't like teams that are extremely ostentatious. He just wants the Supersonics to trade him to the Celtics for the sake of the championship.

And that team with Garnett, Rondo, Pierce, and Perkins can be said to be more arrogant and arrogant.

How low is Ray Allen low-key?

Zhang Hao did not play against the Bucks, and he has been playing for a season until now, and he has no way to see his name on the news.

The third best player of the Bucks... Zhang Hao's old teammate, Almond Gilliam.

So far this season, Gilliam, who is still 4 months away from 34 years old, is averaging 16.8 points and 8 rebounds per game, ranking third in the Bucks and second in rebounds.

Before the game, Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Jason Williams and Gilliam had a friendly exchange.

All three of them were sighing that this coward was doing better than the same type of Cebaros!

Cebaros is generous, generous, brave, and never cowards anyone. He is at his peak at the All-Star level, but his career is displaced...

Gilliam is famously cowardly. When he meets a big center, he becomes a soft-legged shrimp. He has a beard and is just to strengthen his courage. He also bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. When he encounters a soft inside player, he will die...

However, such a player with similar playing styles and great personalities is Gilliam, who is not liked by his teammates, has done better. After 11 years of career, he has earned 30 million yuan and has also completed an early contract renewal with the Bucks for 3 years and 10 million yuan.

On the other side of Cebaros, it is said that the Magic have no plans to renew the contract.

At 7 p.m., the Lakers and Bucks game started.

This time, unlike when playing against the Grizzlies, the Lakers played very seriously.

The result is...114 to 88, the Lakers slaughtered the Bucks, won the 30th victory of the season, and their record increased to 30 wins and 5 losses.

Glen Robinson did not play due to injury tonight, and the Bucks did not have the strength to compete for the playoffs.

The best performances tonight were Kenny Anderson and Rick Fox. The two of them worked together to score 21 assists, Kenny Anderson scored 7 points and 12 assists, and Rick Fox scored 5 points and 9 assists.

The Lakers played well throughout the game, from the beginning to the end of the game.

O'Neal played for 33 minutes, made 13 of 19 shots, and added 22 free throws to 12 free throws, so he scored 38 points and 9 rebounds.

As an indispensable part of tactics, O'Neal rested for 3 minutes at the beginning of the second quarter, and played the other time in the first three quarters. He sat next to the water dispenser and was autistic when he was not replaced after the third quarter.

22 free throws, lost 10! He confiscated 40+ in a single game!

But whether to change it?

It’s better not to change, it’s so tiring, I’m already very tired when I play hard…

Zhang Hao played for 26 minutes, with 22 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

Brent Barry scored 15 points, Doug Christie scored 13 points, Piakowski scored 8 points, Jason Williams scored 4 points and 16 rebounds...

The Bucks were beaten to the point where they lost their fighting spirit.

As for it! The Lakers are so hard at playing against them!

In fact, the Lakers didn't care about how the Bucks played at all, so they made all their efforts to make tactical adjustments...

...

When I played against the Grizzlies last time, I felt that there was nothing to learn from, so the Lakers played very slackly. This time, playing against the Bucks was different. They focused on themselves and looked for their own problems through actual combat.

On the second day, Zhang Hao's analysis and guidance class began again...

This time, Zhang Hao didn't need to hold a team meeting. The coaching staff directly handed over the regular team meeting time in the morning to Zhang Hao, and held a second team meeting in the afternoon.

The training is exempted. In the middle of the season, the next three opponents are not strong. They directly use battles to train to save physical strength and prepare for the second half of the month.

On January 13, the Lakers ushered in a home game with the Nuggets.

The slack situation still occurred, but it was just the defensive end, and the Nuggets scored 114 points.

But the Lakers worked very hard on the offensive end, and the Nuggets' defense was really down. O'Neal played 32 points and 5 assists in 32 minutes, Zhang Hao played 23 points and 4 assists in 28 minutes, Kenny Anderson scored 15 points and 6 assists, Doug Christie scored 17 points and 4 assists... The Lakers played 30+ assists in two consecutive games, and in the last game, the Bucks team scored 33 assists in this game, and the Nuggets team scored 38 assists, 132 points!

132 to 114, the Lakers easily won two consecutive victories, improving their record to 31 wins and 5 losses!

...

The Lakers' offensive adjustment was very effective because there was no winning or losing pressure... the strength advantage was so great, so the players were very patient and relaxed on the offensive end. The pitchers gradually began to get used to shooting on the wings, and Zhang Hao was also more used to shooting on the top arc. At least when playing against the Nuggets, there was no subconscious action because there was no reference to the original three-point line.

The adjustment progressed very smoothly...and then, I encountered trouble.

On January 15, the Lakers ushered in a home game against the Magic.

At the beginning, they played well, but after half of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 8 points 17-9, the Magic started to make trouble! The whole game was chopping the sharks!

When playing against the Bucks, O'Neal scored 22 free throws in a single game, which was a force-made shot. The opponent had no choice but to make more fouls. Six of the 22 free throws were extra free throws, and 14 of them were 7 rounds of offense was destroyed by fouls. There were only one tactical foul that the opponent grabbed a rebound to prevent Zhang Hao from counterattacking.

But the Magic gave O'Neal 34 free throws...

Everyone can see that the Lakers' adjustment progress is very smooth. As a team that once relied heavily on top arc shooting, the Lakers theoretically are more difficult to adjust than those teams that do not pay much attention to three-pointers, but their progress is very gratifying.

The Magic couldn't stand O'Neal playing better and better, and the Lakers where O'Neal was better and better, and directly carried out sabotage operations...

O'Neal made 14 of 34 free throws and lost 20 free throws in a single game!

He scored 34 free throws in a single game, but he only scored 22 points in the end...

Throughout the game, Zhang Hao felt O'Neal's resentful eyes and could only be seen.

Fortunately, with Zhang Hao's 24 points and Kenny Anderson's 17 points, the Lakers steadily won the 33rd victory of the season 95-88, but this game... wasted!

...

The Magic's slutty operation took away all the attention of a major event announced by the league today.

O'Neal VS Magic was cut 15 times, and was fouled twice and went to the free throw line with 34 free throws. It was very popular in major sports news after the game, and there are also various dubbing versions and commentary versions...

At noon today, the league announced the results of the second All-Star voting.

Western side.

Center, O'Neal currently has 970,000 votes and is currently leading David Robinson with 890,000 votes. The gap is not big, and David Robinson is still very popular.

Forward, Zhang Hao ranked first with 1.59 million votes and was also the player with the highest votes in the West. Malone had 770,000 votes, Garnett had 690,000 votes, Pippen had 4. The competition for the second position of the Western forward was very fierce.

The defender, Anthony Hardaway with 1.31 million votes and Payton with 1.22 million votes were far ahead, while Marbury with 3rd votes had only 440,000 votes.

The match point for the Western Conference All-Stars starts at the second position of the center and forwards.

In the eastern part, only the centers are under competitive pressure, with Mutombo and Mooning both having more than 800,000 votes.

In the other four positions, Grant Hill, Duncan, Jordan, and Iverson are as stable as Tarzan.

Kemp is about to collapse. When he was in the West, Zhang Hao started to occupy a position in the rookie season. With Ma Long, he has no chance.

When he arrived in the east, Grant Hill occupied a position. Seeing that Pippen had gone to the west, no one could compete with him in theory, but another super rookie came!

Jordan currently has 1.71 million votes, ranking first in the vote.

The second voting result was not surprising. Duncan was so popular when he was in college. He played so well in the NBA and had a good record. He was in the big city team. The league strongly promoted him as Zhang Hao's opponent... It was normal to get a high vote.

The biggest news today is that the league canceled this year's All-Star Dunk Contest!

Originally, by mid-January, it should be the time for the league to send out a comprehensive invitation to players, but this year, the NBA only invited the three-point competition, the celebrity competition, and put the three-point competition and the celebrity competition together, canceling the dunk competition.

Some things were originally thought to be useless.
