At 6:40 pm, Zhang Hao and his teammates entered the stadium.

The booed all over the sky, I got used to it.

But Jordan's eyes...the hostility is a little too strong!

Although Jordan was strong in the opening game, he was even stronger now, as if he wanted to swallow him, Mr. Zhang... Wasn't he just robbed the All-Star ticket king?

Jordan is so irritable, it is indeed because of this.

Looking at Zhang Hao's face, Jordan felt that this kid should go to his Hollywood, and he was even more hyped.

The reason he was robbed was that Zhang Hao showed off his wealth and customized 24 sports cars and attracted a wave of fans... Jordan really admired this operation, but this kid can think of it!

If this happens, Jordan will try it himself.

However, some media actually said that Jordan did not get the All-Star tickets and was not as generous as Zhang Hao.

When anyone has no money, Jordan has money too!

In 1997, AirJordan's global sales were $1.65 billion. He owned 4.5% of Nike's shares and 3% of Nike's AJ's sales share. Sales share began in 2000, which means that the AJ brand began to take effect 15 years after its establishment. If calculated based on the current sales, at the beginning of 2001, he could get nearly $50 million in sales share, and AJ's sales are growing at a very good growth rate every year.

According to the current growth rate forecast, in another 8-12 years, his sales share will exceed US$100 million.

At present, although it is not time to get the sales share, Nike's endorsement fee alone also has $28 million. In addition to other endorsements, the total endorsement revenue exceeds $40 million.

He is short of money?

But when sending a teammate's car, you have to find a reason.

Jordan was very depressed and couldn't find a suitable reason to show off his wealth!

The reason is that I lost the finals last year.

Then, Jordan thought of watching the Magician wear the 6th championship ring in the opening game, and heard the Lakers DJ shouting "The Best Player in the World" in the opening game...

After last season's finals, Lakers players are no longer afraid of Jordan. Now they have a real opponent mentality. Most of the other Bulls players... are also ordinary game mentality, just an extra hostile atmosphere.

There is only one person, and his mood is obviously different from others - the rookie Tanhua Maddy.

Until now, McGrady wants to call Jordan 666 every day, especially last month, Jordan was simply too strong. With a clear gap with the top three, he seized the opportunity to lead the team to a record that was expected to compete for the first place in the Eastern Conference.

It's simply awesome Plath!

In McGrady's opinion, Jordan is definitely the best All-Star ticket. His popularity is so high that he doesn't have the two major stars of the Lakers that will cause trouble. However, Jordan is obviously better than others in terms of exposure. Even the superstars of the Lakers in Los Angeles are not as high as Jordan's.

However, Zhang Hao finally made a counterattack...

The All-Star Ticket King is considered an off-court thing. In terms of the game, McDie was particularly concerned about the superstar on the opposite side who was also a high school rookie, averaging 25.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 2 blocks... After the changes in the three-point line specifications caused a great change in the league's game environment, Zhang Hao began to focus on three positions, with power forwards and centers continuing, but the center became the third position, and the second position was no longer the shooting guard in the three positions he played in before, but the small forward.

Under such changes, the Lakers won all the past 10 games!

In the eyes of others, such as McGrady, it is the Lakers' style of play that changes have made Zhang Hao need to adjust his style of play, and then, playing as a small forward is very distinctive. Then, the Lakers' adjustments have been successfully made and won 10 consecutive games.

A genius that can satisfy all your expectations, the ceiling of basketball talent, the strongest genius in history, the light of a high school student... For some reason, McGrady, who has always been at ease with the flow, became jealous when she saw the media's comments about Zhang Hao.

He really took things as he pleased. At first, at Adidas Training Camp, he just went to join in the fun. He was not famous in high school, so he just invited him.

After going to Adidas Training Camp, he was arranged to face Odom, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, and he was in the match.

He originally had no plans to participate in the draft, and thought he would be able to go wherever he went, but Odom told him that he was as good as Zhang Hao and Garnett and should go to the draft. He went back to school and asked his girlfriend Clarenda Harris, who supported him to fight. He went and replaced Pippen.

He will accept everything as he arranges fate.

But this time, he just wanted to become Zhang Hao's opponent...

But he also knew that he was not worthy of now...

Now, the dazzling ones on the court are Jordan, Kukoc, Rodman, O'Neal, Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, and Jason Williams.

Therefore, he was reluctant to give up and found a goal to work hard.

...

After entering the court, the two teams exchanged perfunctory greetings and each made the final preparations before the game.

No one wants to lose in this game. If you win, you will be the strongest team in the middle of the season. If you lose, you will be over.

"McDy, 80 ability evaluation, 75 offense, 84 defense... Average 26 minutes per game, 9.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.3 blocks...

The first-class mid-stream defense has something to do.”

"Jordan, ability evaluation 105... Average 39.3 minutes per game, 31.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.5 blocks...

There is nothing to say.”

Zhang Hao was not surprised by McGrady and Jordan's ability evaluation and performance.

Although Jordan is still 15 days away from being 35 years old, he is so strong that he will continue to soar in the playoffs. There are still many games in the regular season that he can focus on and lower the average data.

McGrady also met expectations. Originally, the Raptors chose him in time and space, but they didn't train them well. They were trained in the Bulls, and they were led by Jordan, and there was a clear direction for improvement, and the progress was even more obvious.

Of course, it is not like some strange people who like to make up names, put Kobe, McGrady, Garnett, Ben Wallace, and James in the rookie era together. When choosing this group of people, they regard this group of people as their peak period. If they make up a bunch of names and time, they will say that this lineup is invincible regardless of age...

McGrady has made great progress and has received more training, that is, she has reached the level of the second grade in the original time and space. She should be better, have more experience in winning games, and have a more correct playing philosophy.

But in the end, it was just a very high-quality sixth man, and he didn't have enough experience in the competition. He could show his strength to barely reach the first-class level in the competition, but someone needed to take care of him.

Zhang Hao has seen McGrady's game situation. When Jordan, Rodman and Kukoc were not on the court, his performance was quite devastating.

In other words, except for defense, McGrady is just versatile in other aspects. Focusing on one thing will be more powerful and has excellent support ability. However, when he needs more performance to lead the team, he does not have the ability, and when focusing on one thing, he cannot reach the top level, so he cannot play the role of a character player with outstanding characteristics.

He is stronger than Brian Xiao, and his role is basically similar, but his talent is better, and occasionally there are amazing performances that Brian Xiao cannot do.

"Kukocchi, ability evaluation 86... averaging 15.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.2 steals..."

Strong, the Bulls played against the Jazz in the 1998 Finals in time and space, and Kukoc was the second best player in the Bulls.

Most of the time he played power forwards and even played guest centers. After returning to the small forward position this season, Kukochi really played at the level of his "European Magician".

"Robert Horry, ability evaluation 84... Average 7.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.3 blocks..."

Originally, Zhang Hao felt that he didn't get Horry, but Rick Fox, that's fine.

Now, after the three-point line specifications have changed, Zhang Hao understood why Horry was an unshakable starter in time and space, but Rick Fox was beaten to the bench early.

The changes in the three-point line specifications have no effect on Horry, he is a role player.

Rick Fox is the core tactical style.

Of course, each has its own advantages, but in this situation, Horry will not have any impact, and Rick Fox needs time to adjust.

All of these were expected, and there was a person who was really surprised by Zhang Hao...

"Rodman, ability evaluation 82...averages of 4.4 points, 16.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists..."

Zhang Hao didn't find it strange to have strength and performance.

The key is attendance rate. Rodman has been attending all this season!

Zhang Hao was very curious about what magic pill Jordan fed Rodman... Last season, he saw news about Rodman causing trouble every few days, fighting with people in nightclubs, losing money in gambling, and not admitting his claim. He called the police and was locked up for several days and could not play in the game...

All this this year is gone.

The only thing Rodman in the entire Bulls made Zhang Hao feel incredible, which is even more exaggerated than Jordan’s 35-year-old or the world’s number one.

Compared with the scout report, pre-match meeting, researched game videos, and usual impressions, I looked at the player detection report on the opposite side, sorted out the game ideas again, Zhang Hao turned off the system screen and prepared for the game.

Lakers staff reported to the coaching staff and players that the Suns and Pistons' matches will end before 7 o'clock. The Suns are currently leading the Pistons by 17 points, which means that the time for their game to start will not be delayed.

The home team Bulls also received this news.

This allows the two teams to clarify when their live matches broadcast by multiple TV stations will begin.

At 6:53 pm, the Suns defeated the Pistons 101-88 away.

At 6:58 pm, the game was about to begin at the United Center and the two teams started.

The prompt triggered by "Hell Training" is like the past six games, and Zhang Hao came on the court again.

The Bulls sent Ron Harper, Jordan, Horry, Rodman and Luke Longley to start.

The Lakers sent Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Brent Barry, Zhang Hao and O'Neal to start.

The referee blew the whistle at 7 pm and threw the ball into the air. O'Neal easily defeated Luke Longley to win the jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first!

Luke Longley didn't jump off and retreated directly to defend. He blocked O'Neal on the left side of the three-second zone. After Zhang Hao received the ball at the high position and was blocked by Jordan and Rodman, he still passed the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal returned to the top arc. Brent Barry cut in the middle and received the ball. Jordan had already moved to the middle when Zhang Hao passed the ball, chasing behind Brent Barry. Brent Barry took the ball and took a step and didn't dribble. He jumped directly at half a step inside the free throw line... Jordan gave up.

Brent Barry scored two points with a long-distance gliding dunk! The Lakers' fast attack was still unstoppable at the start.

The Bulls attacked, Jordan picked up the ball and slapped it hard, exited the bounds, and sent it to Ron Harper.

Ron Harper advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Horry. Jordan came to the right side of the three-second zone and Doug Christie caught Horry's pass.

The Bulls started to rotate. When Jordan got a position, Rodman went to the left sideline to pick-and-roll Ron Harper, and then moved to the free throw line.

When Rodman moved to the free throw line, Ron Harper brought Zhang Hao who was changing defense to the 45-degree angle on the left. Horry used a pick-and-roll to restrain Zhang Hao at the left sideline. Rodman turned around and cut at the free throw line. Kenny Anderson was taken to this position by Rodman, and he must have been hit by the back and started to hit Doug Christie's Jordan, trying to steal secretly. Jordan was prepared and passed the ball in the middle!

Rodman received a pass from Jordan from outside the collision zone, which attracted O'Neal's attention. Luke Longley passed the ball, and Luke Longley made a high throw at the start!

There were only three passes in total. To be precise, after Jordan received the ball and started attacking, he passed the ball twice, and it was only more than a second before he reached the finishing point.

The Bulls' cooperation has reached a point where it is nearly perfect!

Jordan was able to perform as known as the "Incarnation of God" this season, with excellent tactics and tacit cooperation among his teammates also played a very important role.
To be continued...
